We know that some actresses don't think so but two of the newest casting announcements for comedies show us the two possible ends of the spectrum. Drillbit Taylor's Leslie Mann is cast to play the wife of an imprisoned man (Jim Carrey) who falls in love with his cell mate in the black comedy I Love You Philip Morris. Verdict: probably a victim/doormat. Toni Collete will star as the close friend of Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski, who play a couple looking for the best place to raise their unborn child in an untitled film. Verdict: With Sam Mendes directing and two parts of the McSweeney's machine writing, Collette will probably make out okay. [THR. THR]Reply34 repliesLeave a reply

MAN CHARGED IN CHURCH THEFTS Stafford, Va. The Stafford County Sheriff's Office is reporting that Adam Jarrett Booth, age 25, of no fixed address, has been charged with two incidents involving thefts from two Stafford County churches. Adam Booth has been arrested and charged with 4 Counts of Credit Card Theft, 1 Count of Grand Larceny and 1 Count of Petit Larceny.
On Thursday, January 9, 2014 Stafford deputies responded to Mt. Ararat Baptist Church at 1112 Garrisonville Road for a report of a theft. A male suspect had entered the church, spoke briefly with an employee and then was seen leaving the church. That employee then noticed a wallet was missing. On Sunday, January 12, 2014 Stafford deputies responded to Rock Hill Baptist Church for another report of another missing wallet. In this incident, the same man involved in the Mt. Ararat theft spoke briefly with a member of the church, asking about the church and then was seen leaving the church parking lot in a tan vehicle. That member of the church then noticed that her wallet was missing.
Stafford Detectives Jason Dembowski and Greg Bender initiated an investigation into these related incidents. Their investigation led to the arrest of Adam Booth on Monday evening, February 10, 2014. Booth was arrested when the car he was driving was spotted on Garrisonville Road in Stafford County. He was arrested without incident.
The Stafford County Sheriff's Office would like to acknowledge the assistance of the media in helping to solve this case. As a result of numerous media stories, the Sheriff's Office received a large number of helpful tips that help lead to Booth's arrest.

Don't be fooled by the spring green of the leaves in that picture. My sorrel plant is thriving in pale, verdant color right now, and it's winter.
Cilantro leaves have a flavor that most people either love or hate. But even if you think cilantro tastes like soap, you should still consider growing a few plants in your garden, because cilantro and the spice coriander both come from the same plant, Coriandrum sativum.
In the United States most people grow this delicious, multi-purpose herb for its leaves, but its delicious Coriander seeds are entirely worth harvesting and taste nothing like cilantro leaves. Cilantro is a cool season herb that goes to seed quickly during the long, hot days of summer.
Do you have limited garden space, yet yearn to grow both radishes and roses? Time to try foodscaping, the artful combination of cultivating vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants. Also called edible landscaping, this practice offers the best of all worlds for small or minimally sunny properties, or where a traditional vegetable garden would look out of place—say, in a front yard.
The easiest way to cheer up your kitchen in the middle of winter? Grow herbs indoors. With a few fresh sprigs at your fingertips, you can add instant flavor to everything from smoothies to soups.
Most herbs do well in pots, but not all thrive inside: bay, mint, Italian parsley, chives, and variegated lemon thyme are a few of your best options. Below, we offer expert advice to ensure you'll have a steady supply of these five hardy favorites all season long.
Last year when I was shopping for fall-to-winter plants that would brighten up the front of my house, I balked at the cost. Flats of pansies and small pots of mums seemed exorbitantly expensive when I realized they'd only last a month or so before it got too cold. Even the coleus and dusty miller on sale at the greenhouse seemed pricey.
My Walla Walla sweet onions are ready for harvest, but that doesn't mean they are quite ready for storage. Onions require a period to "cure" before you can store them away for the winter. The curing process ensures that each onion develops a tight, dry, papery outer wrapper that locks in the onion's flavor and prevents rot.
I love late summer for the food. It is prime harvest time in the garden and this weekend I squealed with delight when I realized it was time (finally!) to harvest my Rattlesnake bush beans. These gorgeous heirloom snap beans produce wide cream and purple streaked pods that are crunchy, juicy, and amazing grilled. Plus they are pretty enough to put on a post card.

Collectively as a unit, the Bengals offensive line is arguably one of the best run blocking lines in the NFL. They are a rugged, fierce, tough and well coached unit. As the team tries to get a more vertical passing game, will the line be able to offer Palmer the time to stand in the pocket and effectively deliver the football? The line allowed just 29 sacks last season. With Marvin Lewis running the ball so much, and the passing game being so conservative, that number could be a bit misconstrued. There's no sexy names on the line, most of them are the most common names in the world, but they simply get the job done.
LT- Andrew Whitworth
Whitworth has settled in at the starting left tackle slot after being shuffled around from guard and tackle his 1st 3 seasons. He's a better run blocker than pass protector, although he did allow just 1.5 sacks last season. Whitworth is very strong and a reliable player within the scheme.
LG- Nate Livings
Livings co-started with Evan Mathis all season long. Livings started 9 of the 16 regular season games. He's a solid run-blocker.
C- Kyle Cook
Cook played well in his 1st season as a starter in Cincinnati. He's an upgrade over Eric Ghiaciuc, who had started the previous 3 seasons at center for the Bengals.
Cook has good size for the position. He played physical and showed the leadership needed at the center position.
RG- Bobbie Williams
Williams enters his 7th season with the team. He is undoubtedly the team's best run blocker. Even with the losses of 2 tight ends in training camp and question marks at right tackle, Williams still played very well.
(Bobbie Williams)
RT- Andre Smith
Last season, Smith held out until just before the start of the regular season. Then he broke his foot. It really limited his progress. He did play in the last 6 contests of the season.
Smith has huge upside being the 6th pick of the 2009 NFL Draft. He's rather athletic for a tackle. Like everyone else on the line, he excells in the run game, but he's improving his pass protection.
Backup G- Evan Mathis
Mathis was the co-starter at left guard with Livings. He started 7 regular season games at left guard.
Backup T- Anthony Collins
He's shown flashes, but he's never put it all together.
Backup T- Dennis Roland
He started some games in Smith's absence at right tackle. He struggled in pass protection allowing 6 sacks.

About the Author
Written by Adrian Fedkiw
I currently work for the Sports Network. It's the best job ever!
I am a 2010 graduate of Temple University where I majored in broadcast journalism,
I LOVE SPORTS! That's why I am here. I have a vast knowledge and want to share my athletic intelligence with the world. Some people like to spend their time shooting down aliens in Halo; I like to spend my time watching sports, current and old. It's my passion! I got asked one time how I can watch a game over again when I already know the outcome. 5 minutes later, he's watching Happy Gilmore reciting all of the lines from the movie. Hypocrite!
As for my favorite sports teams, I've been a lifelong Philadelphia sports fan. My favorite athlete is Allen Iverson. He didn't like practice that much, but when it came to gametime, no one let it all out on the floor like Iverson. He is absolutely beloved in the city of Brotherly Love.
For college athletics, obviously I pay close attention to Temple. (Yes, football too) Even before I stepped foot on Temple's campus for the 1st time in 2005, I was a fan. Oh the good old days of John Chaney!
Some other tidbits about myself, I love cheesesteaks, I hydrate myself with Welch's Grape Juice and Snapple. I love the HBO show Entourage. Also, when is Kenny Powers making his much anticipated return in Eastbound and Down!

Best hotels in Dresden
Dresden is a German city along the River Elbe, and is the capital of the Saxony region. The city enjoys a long history, and during the Holy Roman Empire was the seat of the Elector of Saxony. Dresden is a picturesque city with plenty of 18th century buildings throughout the area, and is filled with lush gardens and forests. There is also a modern side to this idyllic destination, from popular shopping streets, to all night bars and theaters. Dresden is the ideal getaway for romantic weekends or cultural visits. Finding your ideal hotel in Dresden can be a stressful experience, especially when you have a certain budget. With Hotels.com, you can find the hotel perfect for your expectations with the aid of user submitted hotel reviews and photo galleries.
What's Dresden Like?
Dresden is a center for culture and the arts, and among the many 18th century buildings, you will find a thriving metropolitan city full of modern attractions. History and culture buffs in particular will enjoy the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (Old Masters Picture Gallery) and the Residenzschloss (Royal Palace) with their extensive collection of artworks from the likes of Rubens and Titian. Built in 1877, the Military History Museum displays and archives a range of artifacts and exhibits from pre-unification Germany all the way to the Second World War. For an afternoon of shopping, the Kunsthandwerk Am Altmarkt (Craft on Market Square) and Altmarkt Galerie Dresden (Old Square Market) are two large shopping malls full of big brand name stores. Restored in 1945 from damage suffered during the Dresden bombings, the Semper Opera House is a beautifully ornate landmark which houses four galleries, and is the ideal place to enjoy a performance while visiting the city.
Tips for Getting Along with Locals in Dresden
The Dresden city center can be explored on foot, as many of the attractions are within short walking distance of each other. Summer spans from June to August, and temperatures typically rise to an average of 22°C, however it has been known to rise as high as 37°C on occasion, so ensure that you carry a backpack with bottled water if you are traveling during the Summer months. Many of the locals speak English, however it is always a wise decision to bring a pocket phrase book for an easier time communicating with Germans. You can find the Dresden tourist information office on Neumarkt 2. Be sure to check out the Hotels.com website before you depart, as the Google maps applet will allow you to enjoy a virtual tour of the area around your hotel.

What is or what is not a federal question under Grable & Sons Metal Products, Inc. v. Darue Engineering & Manufacturing, 545 U.S. 308 (2005), is an issue that continues to perplex lawyers, judges, and law students alike. In Hartland Lakeside Joint No. 3 School District v. WEA Insurance Corp., No. 13-3787 (7th Cir. June 27, 2014), the Seventh Circuit (in an opinion written by Judge Easterbrook) remanded to Wisconsin state court a dispute between certain Wisconsin school districts and WEA Insurance, the former administrator of their health-care programs, because it failed to present a federal question.
The dispute concerned the school districts' portion of $5 billion distributed by the federal government to employers across the country under section 1102 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 42 U.S.C. § 18002, a section designed to reimburse employers for certain costs associated with early retirees. WEA Insurance applied for the funds on the districts' behalf, but, in an effort to gain a competitive advantage, decided to use the funds to reduce premiums in future years, instead of, as the school districts argued, paying them to the districts that had incurred the costs that the program was intended to defray. Small difference, if a school district intended to continue with WEA Insurance, but for those districts that were changing insurers, it mattered quite a lot, because they would never receive the funds allotted for them.
The more fundamental issue for the Seventh Circuit, however, was the basis for subject-matter jurisdiction. The school districts had thought their claims (essentially for conversion) arose merely under state law and thus filed the case in Wisconsin's Circuit Court for Waukesha County. WEA Insurance removed the case, and that removal survived the districts' motion to remand.
The Seventh Circuit held that it should not have. In the process, it took issue with WEA's interpretation of the rule in Grable as one that creates federal jurisdiction based merely on the predominance of the federal issue. In deciding Gunn v. Minton, 133 S. Ct. 1059 (2013), the Court held that "federal jurisdiction over a state law claim will lie if a federal issue is: (1) necessarily raised, (2) actually disputed, (3) substantial, and (4) capable of resolution in federal court without disrupting the federal-state balance approved by Congress." Id. at 1065.
This case failed both (1) and (4). As to (1), it did not "necessarily raise[]" a federal issue, unlike Grable, in which the "issue of federal law was inescapable, and the national government itself was vitally concerned with the outcome." Slip Op. 6. Similarly, for (4), the Seventh Circuit was befuddled as to how this element could be satisfied, particularly in light of the McCarran-Ferguson Act and its grant to states of preeminence in insurance regulation: "[H]ow can one resolve a dispute between an insurer and its clients about the size of premiums without stepping on states' toes?" Id. The court was further influenced by the fact that Congress did not create a private right of action in § 18002. "Many federal programs create entitlements while leaving ownership to state law." Slip Op. 7. It vacated the district court's decision, with instructions to return the case to state court.

As the name suggests, an acre-foot is defined as the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.
Since an acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (i.e. 66 ft × 660 ft or 20.12 m × 201.17 m), an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet (1,233 m3).
There are two definitions of an acre-foot (differing by about 0.0006%), depending on whether the "foot" used is an "international foot" or a "U.S. survey foot".
1 acre-foot | = 43,560 cubic feet = 75,271,680 cu in |
1 international acre-foot | = 43,560 international cubic feet |
≈ 1233.48183754752 m3 | |
≈ 271,328.072596 imp gal | |
≈ 325,851 3⁄7 US gal | |
1 U.S. survey acre-foot | = 43,560 U.S. survey cubic feet |
≈ 1233.4892384681 m3 | |
≈ 271,329.700571 imp gal | |
≈ 325,853.383688 U.S. gal[nb 1] |
As a rule of thumb in U.S. water management, one acre-foot is taken to be the planned water usage of a suburban family household, annually.[2] In some areas of the desert Southwest, where water conservation is followed and often enforced, a typical family uses only about 0.25 acre-feet of water per year.[3] One acre-foot/year is approximately 893 gallons (3.38 m3) per day.
The acre-foot (or more specifically the time rate unit of acre-foot per year) has been used historically in the U.S. in many water-management agreements, for example the Colorado River Compact, which divides 15 million acre-feet (MAF) per year (586 m3/s) among seven western U.S. states.
Elsewhere in the world, where the metric system is in common use, water volumes can be expressed in either cubic metres (as in flow rates of cubic metres/second, or "cumecs") or, for water usage, storage or irrigation volumes, in kilolitres (kL = 1 cubic metre), megalitres (ML = 1,000 cubic metres), or gigalitres (GL = 1,000,000 cubic metres). One acre-foot is approximately equivalent to 1.233 megalitres.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 23—I woke this morning, looked out of my train window to see palm trees, orange groves and lovely flowers all around. To be transported suddenly into summer was a curious sensation. I had noticed, for the first time, as we came out of Washington, the reddish look on the willow trees, which means that Spring is really at hand.
Governor David Sholtz of Florida, and President Hamilton Holt of Rollins College, met us at Winter Park. We went at once to the lovely chapel, given by Mrs. Edward Bok, where the exercises were to held. The heads of all the higher educational institutions in the State took part in the ceremony.
I have seen my husband receive a number of degrees, but is was the first time he had ever seen me in cap and gown and he promptly incorporated that in his speech.
After my husband left, my brother and some friends motored me up to Jacksonville and on the way we drove from Daytona to Ormond on the beach. The most beautiful beach I have ever seen before is the one at San Diego, California, but I have never driven on one at the rate of speed at which my brother drives. It was both pleasant and exciting, the sea looked beautiful and the sand inviting. How envious I felt of all the people under little leaf umbrellas.
I am very grateful for my glimpse of the beach and also of St. Augustine, a city I have long wished to see. Now I am in Jacksonville to make my speech tonight, and then I take the 11 o'clock plane back to Washington.

Previously: Part 1 - Hooks
Do you (or your interior design clients) want an easy way to hang up coats, scarves, bags, towels, aprons and more? Then hooks are the way to go. And rather than getting multiple single hooks, you may want a wall-mounted rack that provides those multiple hooks in a single product.
The Eames Hang-It-All is the most well-known wall-mounted coat rack, but numerous other designs are worth some attention. The Leaf hanger from Miniforms is made from laser cut sheet steel. Each hanger has three hexagons, and each of those is a different distance from the wall, making it easier to use all three at the same time.
Some hooks are designed to flip down for use—so there's nothing rough for anyone to brush against when walking by. The Knox products from LoCa are a nice example of this style.
Of course, you could go vertical as well as horizontal. Since the hooks are right on top of each other in this design, it may not work well for multiple long coats. But it could be just fine for a warm winter hat, a scarf and a coat—or various other combinations. To provide a lot of hooks in a small space, LoCa has an angled design with hooks on two sides.
Another variation on the flip-down hooks—this one going both horizontal and vertical—is the Piano coat rack from PER/USE, designed by Patrick Séha. One unusual way to use part of this rack: Tilt down a few hooks and rest a briefcase or some magazines on top of them.
Flip-down hooks aren't the only way to avoid getting stabbed by a coat rack. This is the Tattakki clothes rail from Sintesi, designed by Sam Sannia and made of ABS technopolymer. The rounded shapes help ensure end-users won't hurt themselves—or snag something on a sharp edge—so it could be a nice option if children are around.
Lacquered steel is frequently used in coat hangers, often with eye-popping colors and shapes. The Piet coat hooks from Presse Citron are obviously named after Piet Mondrian.
And for those who like representational shapes, with a bit of kitsch, there's the Mantosaure by Thomas de Lussac, made from laser cut lacquered steel.
Here's another variation on the vertical rack, for those who don't like the flip-down hooks; it's called the Wave. Notice the little shelf at the bottom, perfect for a wallet, sunglasses, etc. As with any coat rack that has hooks in a vertical row, the end-user will need to consider what gets placed on the top hooks, so these items don't interfere with seeing and reaching the items on the lower hooks—but having hooks on both sides makes it easier to use it for multiple coats and other larger items.
The Thru-block coat rack from WUDA (that's will ullman design + art) is a modular design that combines horizontal and vertical orientations. Each block has five holes drilled into it; the blocks are pegged together with dowels. The ability to change the layout to fit a given space is a real advantage to this design.

Hooks are one of my favorite organizing products—and my clients love them, too. It's just easier to throw a coat over a hook than it is to put it on a hanger—and easy is good, since it increases the chance that the coat (or whatever) isn't going to just get...

Everyone has different needs and constraints—but fortunately, designers have given us numerous options to help meet those needs.The Toro Legno (Kitchen Bull) shown above is a fanciful item: a knife block with...
No matter how modern, chic or technologically-forward you may be, everyone loves maps. Innate sense of navigation, likelihood of travel, and taste in worldly-looking decor have little to do with it—we just like to see space laid out, made more understandable, even as we stand still.

Mice Heist Review
- Advanced 'whack-a-mole' gameplay.
- Cute mice designs and a bonus 'lolcat' thrown in.
- Hardest difficulty is brutal with the tap limitations.
Mice Heist is a simple idea well executed and perfect for casual gamers after an occasional laugh and fun on the go.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Roll with me on this one... For some reason you've decided that it'd be a top idea to drop your cheese in to a giant pile in front of a series of conspicuous mice-holes, only to find out that they're a nest of anthropomorphic critters out to steal your cheese. Well in Mice Heist it's just another day as usual, but at least you get to tap them to send them on their way, with the occasional disco-dancing cat also dropping by to scare them off.
Once you've chosen a difficulty level, the gameplay is as simple as managing to tap each mouse as they enter the screen, preventing them from carrying cheese back to their hideout. This gets progressively harder as unique mice with special abilities including the ability to dodge taps or even survive multiple taps get added to the mix. A limiter of sorts seems to be placed on how many taps can be made, otherwise one could simply spam the screen like it's another itteration of Summer Games, but this forces you to be creative in defeating the endless wave of creatures.
The cartoon design is fun and each mouse variation has its own distinctive style and sound. After a handful of mice have been turned away, you can activate your Cat Paw to summon a 'lolcat' which, much like on the internet, has the ability to scare everyone away.
Mice Heist is great fun for something that's essentially an advanced 'whack-a-mole' and will definitely challenge your speedy skills once you're past the tutorial levels. A fun title for all casual gamers.

- Choose the right length. Twenty to 30 miles is a good day ride for a weekend cyclist. Forty to 50 is for regular riders. Anything over that is for hardcore bikers.
- The packed gravel of the Katy is fine for all bikes. A mountain bike is great, and the "hybrids" in which riders sit more upright on cushy seats are comfortable.
- A helmet is recommended whenever riding a bicycle. However, it is not required on the Katy.
- The Katy is busy on pretty weekends during the spring, summer and fall near the popular trailheads such as St. Charles, Defiance, Rocheport and Sedalia. Ride during the week and you'll have the trail to yourself.
- The east end near St. Charles has the best shops, the Defiance-to-Dutzow stretch runs through Missouri's wine country, the McKittrick-to-Treloar run has the best river scenery and Sedalia has the best depot.
- The Katy is family-friendly, an easy ride for the smallest of children. The biggest hazard would be not paying attention and running off the side into the brush.
- If you want to share information with, or ask questions of, Katy Trail riders, visit www.bikekatytrail.com.
- Two great restaurants on the Katy Trail are Abigail's at Rocheport and Glenn's Café at Boonville.
- The Katy Trail is great for wildlife watching. You may see bald eagles, turkey vultures, Canada geese, red foxes, fox squirrels, turtles, black snakes and a variety of songbirds. All wildlife is protected, leave it alone.
- The trail has redbuds, dogwoods and woodland wildflowers in the spring, and summer brings an array of sunflowers. The trail is ablaze in color each autumn.

OFF! has a double feature for us today, smashing their songs "Borrow And Bomb" and "I Got News For You" (both off their recent self-titled album) into one super-packed music video. And it's not your typical music video either, as the California hardcore heroes tapped comedian Dave Foley--noted for his fine work in the Canadian sketch comedy group/show The Kids In The Hall--to appear.
Just like in the video for "Cracked," director Whitey McConnaughy revels in the zaniness of the group. This time around, Foley stars as high-school teacher Dale Antwerp, host of a cheesy, fictional television show called "Teen Talk"--"where the teens get to talk and the adults get to listen." They talk about punk rock of course in agonizing awkwardness, only to be blown away by special musical guests OFF!. Lots of fun to be had in this one. Watch below.

Global warming and climate change
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Nations have depended on coal for centuries to produce a majority of their electricity, but now with global warming and climate change many nations are looking for green alternatives. On August 6, 1945, the world was introduced to the amazing energy behind nuclear energy with the drop of the first atomic bomb. Grolier Online found that in 1939 two German scientists, Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman, had reported an experiment "involving neutron irradiation of uranium"; meaning exposed the uranium to radiation or streams of particles and produced energy (2). Although some energy alternatives create little or no waste and appear safer than nuclear energy, nuclear energy is more efficient, produces more power than any other energy source known, and the energy source is in great abundance and should become the U.S.'s number one source of energy, replacing our need for unclean, carbon emitting coal.
Three Mile Island nuclear power plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania, March 28, 1979, a water pump stops working and that's just the beginning (U.S. N.R.C.). There was a release of radiation into the atmosphere, but as Opposing Viewpoints: Energy Alternatives described that there is more radiation standing a few minutes in the midst of the granite of Grand Central Station than released from Three Mile Island on this day (80). No lives were lost and because of the rules and regulations put on United States industries, especially nuclear plants, there were no major consequences to the reactor meltdown. However, a serious problem did not happen at Three Mile Island, but was a completely different story at Chernobyl, in the Ukraine. At the time, Chernobyl was part of the vast Soviet Union; it grew in power and needed more energy. The Soviets went nuclear. Chernobyl was a massive nuclear complex with poor construction and even poorer regulations by the Soviets. On April 26, 1986, during a routine shutdown, the automatic safety was taken off and everything began to go wrong. Coolant was not getting to the right places, but power was being increased which led to an incredible explosion. The explosion released 30 to 40 times as much radioactive waste as the bombs dropped on Japan. Many were killed and many are still suffering the consequences for the arrogance of the "Soviet era" nuclear plants, Opposing Viewpoints: Energy Alternatives points out (80). It is going to cost trillions of dollars to clean up around Chernobyl and to cover the reactor that released and is still releasing tons of radiation every year. Where as the only cost to Three Mile Island was the shutdown of the plant.
Even though these two situations, that should be forgotten, are extreme and have created an adverse reputation for nuclear energy, nuclear energy is safe if the correct rules, regulation, and actions are taken when things go south. Chernobyl was cheaply built, poorly regulated, and technology at the plant was comparable to, at most, a World War 2 fighter jet. In an interview with the CEO of the Wabash REMC, the county electric company, the executive portrayed the Soviet era nuclear plants as "pole barns at best" (Rob Pearson). American built nuclear plants are built of concrete a few feet thick to prevent any radiation leak. These plants have the most advanced technology in the world to date with rooms the size of basketball courts just for the control panels. The United States has placed restrictions on building codes and maintenance as well as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) making unscheduled and regular check-ups to American nuclear plants. CQ Researcher, "Nuclear Energy" states 'significant events,' such as reactor shutdowns and problems with important safety equipment, fell from 0.9 [incidents] per year per plant in 1989 to 0.02 [incidents] in 2003 . . . (221) showing the increasing safety as the years go on. Old plants have been and are being updated to current safety and technology standards to prevent any major incident and maintain the world's safest nuclear program in the United States. As in any industry, there will always be problems and something will go wrong, but the U.S. is doing its best to prevent these problems from effecting civilians. Many are worried about radioactive nuclear waste, the costly and extremely dangerous detriment of nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy is produced from uranium-235, which is naturally radioactive, but the products, strontium-96 and xenon-138, become highly radioactive after the nuclear fission process. So what can we do with all this material after the fission process? There are many options: enrich, storage in mountainsides, entombment under the sea, nuclear transmutation, shooting it into space or at the sun, and many more. Enrichment is a process of taking the waste and concentrating it to almost five percent of its actual size, Rob Person explained to me, so there is less waste, putting all other storage processes on a smaller scale. Entombment under the sea, Critical Perspectives on Energy and Power, "Disposing of Nuclear Waste," gives detail that the waste is put into a pointed tube then dropped into the deepest parts of the sea, specifically the pacific trenches, where it is then sucked into the mantle and dissolves in the extreme heat of the core of the earth. Nuclear transmutation is a process of bombarding the waste with neutrons to produce less radioactive materials that would be radioactive for only hundreds or even tens of years, where as currently the waste could be radioactive for ten thousand years (77). Much research is being put into better processes of disposal of the waste. Currently the waste is in large storage containers at the nuclear plant cooling and drying or sitting in 55-gallon barrels in the side of a mountain.
The output of nuclear energy, in contrast, is twenty-five millions times the output of coal, Grolier Online, "Nuclear Energy" found. One pound of coal produces eight electron volts (eV) with a burn-off of carbon dioxide, this increase being a main cause of global warming and climate change. However, with nuclear fission, the current process for nuclear energy, one pound of uranium-235 produces 200 million eV with absolutely no carbon dioxide emissions. There is new technology going into the process of nuclear fusion, a process where hydrogen is used to produce 18 million eV and the only by-product is helium and energy (1). This process has no radioactive waste, but produces five times the heat as the sun making it very difficult to contain all that energy, but making it possible to extract more hydrogen from water. Making this energy source completely independent from any outside sources. Rob Pearson clarified that there are many other energy alternatives that are producing energy, but the efficiency of these alternatives is about one third of their potential. Wind power is unreliable, running only when the wind is strong enough to turn the turbines, and getting the power from the turbine to homes is a project in itself. Solar panels use only ten percent of the light spectrum and have to be the size of a football field to produce enough energy for a small town of a few thousand people. Current alternatives only produce a small percent of our energy needed because their efficiency is so poor.
The United States has had one of the best plans for constructing more nuclear plants, but their ability to put the plan into action is lacking. The United States depends on 104 nuclear plants with a total of 441 water-cooled reactors, the current process of nuclear fission. These plants produce twenty to twenty-two percent of the nations electricity generating close to 788.6 terawatt hours of electricity in 2004 giving the U.S. the world's most nuclear plants with the best and largest nuclear program. In CQ Researcher, "Nuclear Energy" the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts that by 2030 the U.S. will be producing only 871 terawatt hours of electricity--if and only if six new nuclear plants are built and existing plants are updated to produce more power. Since the last major debacle of Three Mile Island in 1979, which spread so much fear, more than twenty-nine years have passed with no new nuclear plants having begun construction. Last year America was to begin construction on twenty-five new plants, law makers shot the bill down when it was time to act. In better hopes though, Secretary of the United States Department of Energy announced in 2002 it Nuclear Power 2010 program that would do a joint government/industry cost share to produce more nuclear plants and give incentive to power companies to begin building (1). Now with global warming and climate change and need for more electricity, proven by the blackouts in major cities in the past few years, there is only one thing that can fit the need to decrease all of these-nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy has been pigeonholed by two unfortunate events leaving most afraid of it, but with the current crises on the world's hand, the need for more power and less dependence on hydrogen-carbonates, carbon dioxide emitting fuels such as coal and oil, the world must begin constructing and researching more in nuclear energy. Governments are taking every precaution, setting rules, regulations, and regular and random check-ups, to make nuclear energy just as safe as any other major source of electricity. Nuclear waste has been in research for many years now and should be reaching a safe and effective means of disposal. The U.S. must begin trusting nuclear energy and start relying on it as the number one source of energy replacing carbon emitting coal plants and inefficient energy alternatives.

Deanna Gonyaw Gilfillan v. Brian K. Gilfillan | } } } } } } } } } } |
APPEALED FROM: Orleans Family Court DOCKET NO. 160-10-95 Osdm Trial Judge: Howard E. Van Benthuysen |
Defendant father appeals the Orleans Family Court's order denying his request to modify parent-child contact with his minor children. Defendant claims the court erred by entering the order without holding an evidentiary hearing on whether real, unanticipated and substantial changed circumstances exist since the original divorce and parent-child contact order. We agree and reverse.
The parties' March 14, 1996 final divorce order awarded them joint legal custody and plaintiff mother physical custody of their two children, now ages ten and fourteen. The court awarded father contact with the children "at all reasonable times and places which shall include at a minimum every other weekend, one-half of or alternating major holidays and birthdays, plus two weeks during the children's summer vacation." On February 16, 2001, father filed a motion to modify that provision, supported by an affidavit, claiming (1) mother does not allow all of the visitation the order permits; (2) he and the children desire to spend more time together; (3) he and the parties' oldest child want the child to learn carpentry, which is father's trade; and (4) during school vacations the children are alone at mother's house. Mother opposed the motion and moved to dismiss, taking issue with father's assertions that the parent-child contact order was not working and that she leaves the children unsupervised during their vacations.
On March 23, 2001, the court granted mother's motion to dismiss without a hearing on that motion or father's motion to modify. It reasoned that the father's affidavit did not demonstrate "a real, substantial and unanticipated change in circumstances in the matter." Father moved to reconsider, and the court denied that request. Father timely appealed.
Father contends on appeal that the court should have granted him a hearing because he alleged sufficient changed circumstances under 15 V.S.A. 668 to warrant a hearing on his motion to modify. Specifically, father claims the visitation dispute, his children's advancing age and development, and mother's failure to supervise the children during vacations all show circumstances have changed substantially and unexpectedly since the original parent-child contact order.
We first note that generally, a child's maturation is not an unanticipated change of circumstances, but is "a welcome and expected fact of life." Pigeon v. Pigeon, 12 Vt. L.W. 295, 296 (2001) (mem.). Therefore, we find no error denying the motion to the extent the court relied on father's allegation concerning the children's advancing ages.
We do find error, however, in the court's decision not to take evidence on the parties' dispute about whether mother was complying with the original parent-child contact order and about whether it was workable. Wilful obstruction of visitation can constitute a substantial and unanticipated change of circumstances. Wells v. Wells, 150 Vt. 1, 4 (1988). Moreover, a custodial arrangement requiring cooperation between parents that subsequently breaks down has been held sufficient to meet the threshold requirement of changed circumstances for the purposes of revisiting custody. Kilduff v. Willey, 150 Vt. 552, 555 (1988). In this case, the parent-child contact order mandated contact between father and the children at "all reasonable times and places." Such an order requires the parties to cooperate on what times and places are "reasonable." The affidavits the parties submitted to the court clearly disclose that their opinions on what was reasonable differed significantly. The court therefore abused its discretion by summarily disposing of father's motion without taking evidence on the issue. See Gates v. Gates, 168 Vt. 64, 67-68 (1998) (Court will uphold trial court's decision on whether substantial change in circumstances exist if it finds no abuse of discretion).
Mother contends that the court correctly dismissed father's motion because he should have brought the matter before the court on a motion to enforce visitation under 15 V.S.A. 668a. She alleges that denial of visitation does not entitle a parent to modify a parent-child contact order. We are not asked, however, to decide whether denial of visitation will always justify modification of parent-child contact. Nor do we believe that the form of the motion is determinative, given the broad and vague nature of the original visitation award. Whether the court defined reasonable times and places in an enforcement order, or substituted specific times and places in a modification order, the result would be the same.
We decide only that the allegations in father's motion and accompanying affidavit are sufficient to create a triable issue on whether circumstances since the original order have changed substantially and unexpectedly. If, after taking evidence, the court finds that they have, it must then determine what parent-child contact is in the children's best interests. 15 V.S.A. 668; Gates, 168 Vt. at 69.
Reversed and remanded.BY THE COURT:
John A. Dooley, Associate Justice
Denise R. Johnson, Associate Justice

I am not a super experienced spey caster so not by any means trying to seem like I'm putting down a spey guru or a product, just confused as to whether it is actually filling a void or whether there was no void in the first place..... Tom Larimer, the designer of this head, said he designed it for when he wanted a floating line presentation but with more guts to cast in wind, bigger flies, etc than possible with most scandis. In a writeup on the new Rage line he said ... "So why not just put a floating tip on a Skagit and call it good? Good question! The problem is when you cast a Skagit with a sink-tip, most of the sink-tip is in the water during the D-Loop formation. The caster is effectively feeling the load of the Skagit head alone. When you loop on a floating tip, you need to arialize more D-loop. Consequently, you feel the weight of the Skagit plus the 60-some grains in the floating tip. -60 grains is an entire line size! Ever notice your floating tip makes your rod feel mushy? And, its awfully easy to throw a tailing loop. That's because your rod can't handle the added grain weight in the D-loop. The Skagit + floating tip was a band-aid solution to a bigger problem." So if your rod will be overloaded with your usual skagit head plus a floating tip, why not just get a lighter skagit head and attach the floating tip to that? To put it into practical terms, if I have a 570 grain skagit head for my 8 weight for fishing T14 in the winter, and a 510 grain skagit head for doing the same on my 7 weight, why not just take the 510 grain head, attach the floating tip to it, and fish that on the 8 weight? Isn't that what the Rage is, just less versatile since with a floating tip you can do dry line work on a heavier rod and with sinking tips you can do dredging work on a lighter rod? I realize you might own only an 8 weight with a 570 grain head (just an example), but wouldn't you be better off getting a 510 head and floating tip for your dry line setup incase you end up buying a 7 weight or something along those lines? I guess what I am getting at is, Larimer says "The Skagit + floating tip was a band-aid solution to a bigger problem." And to solve this "bigger problem" he created a new head altogether. I don't get why the simpler and more versatile solution is not just to get a lighter skagit head than you already have and attach the floating tip to that, with a super tapered head like the rio flight for more delicate presentations and tight loops, or a more agressive profile skagit like the airflo compact if you fish somewhere where it is really windy or use big flies.... Thanks for your thoughts! -Loren
Underlining with skagit heads is a great way to go for the reasons you stated. Also you can use it underlined with a sink tip for touch and go casting- The Rage is a very nice casting line and versatile also - they both do a great job - for me it has replaced the scandi compacts- although they are nice too -its mostly a matter of personal preference and fishing scenarios.
Why do you care? Just wondering what it is to you? If you think the rage and a skagit compact plus floating tip are the same there is obviously at least one reason you don't develop fly lines. If something doesn't fit your needs then don't buy it. Pretty simple.
Sean, as I thought I made clear in my post's title and initial disclaimer, my intent was to ask the spey community here if there was in fact an advantage that this line provides over the alternative I was thinking of (lighter skagit + floating tip) that I was missing, not to put a product down. It was a sincere question. To answer your question, the reason I care is because a line that performs as the Rage is intended to DOES fit my needs, hence me trying to find out if there is a good reason to buy this line or if I can accomplish the same thing by adding a floating tip to my lighter skagit head and save a chunk of change. Why you have 20 "positive ratings" on this board is a bit beyond me based on your high and mighty attitude in regard to an inquisitive post not meant to offend anyone. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and hope that you read it too fast and took my words in the wrong tone. Thanks to the rest of you who provided valuable insight into helping me learn more about these nuances of spey lines and find out if I was coming to a logical conclusion or if there was a glaring advantage that I was missing. Hey Shawn K, I hope your season finished well!! -Loren
Somebody did actually urinate in my wheaties. I spent the last weekend of the season at a wedding instead of on the coast. The rage IS different I personally think it much better IMHO but if you are happy with the skag and have the necessary components to make it work, spend your money on things that catch steelhead not silly floating lines (that was mildly sarcastic btw) Tight lines. Somebody go fishing for me. Since I can't seem to find the time myself.
Loren I would buy the rage before you buy the Tactical. The tactical is a good line on certain rods. I have one and it casts great on one of my seven weights but sucks on my other one. The rod you have is a skagit rod.
Simply put, everyone wants to spey cast but no one wants to learn how to. Enter a skagit floating line.
I am one of those lousy casters some of the spey superheros love to compare themselves to. Funny thing, the fish don't seem to notice. I cast one of the Rage heads recently on my lowly Echo Solo 6wt. and my measly Beulah switch rod. I loved the way that head cast and turned over smoothly on both rods. This is going to be my new summer and fall head for sure. Try it, see what you think, Loren.
Wow... Looks like someone really digs the rage As for the two, I honestly would rather underline a skagit than go with a Rage. The rage is longer which is nice, and does rollout better. But overall if it's too windy for a compact skandi (which does a pretty good job of turning over junk), I feel you might as well go whole hog and just use a hammer. In addition, I've cast the rage and with tips, it plain blows. With the compact skagit, you have a known quantity in terms of tips. As a dryline it's not too bad, but if the situation allows it, I'd much rather toss a short belly spey or scandi as it's less "clunky". But I suppose if you want a single line, the compromises of the Rage do outweight having to keep 2 lines on hand.....
I think this post is the best answer to the op- although I think the Rage does ok with light tips- like 10' of t8 - it was designed for polyleaders- and it works good for that- going hole hog and using a hammer makes perfect sense.
