sarra commented on the word kissing note
Found in R.S.R. Fitter (1952); not quite sure to what it refers, except an utterance of the Bearded Tit. One that sounds like a kiss, rather than being produced while birds do kiss, presumably?

Synchronize! X Plus is a file synchronization and backup utility for personal data on Mac OS X. As a way of introducing you to Synchronize! X Plus, you may use its basic file synchronization and backup features free for folders containing 10MBytes or less. Just download Synchronize! X Plus and try it out.
Unlimited use of all features requires the purchase of a license, which is $29.95, plus shipping if applicable.
Synchronize! X Plus will backup your personal data to another disk, so that it is safe. It can sync your home folder with a file server, or your PowerBook, or a FireWire disk, so that the newest files are in both locations.
Synchronize! X Plus actions can be scheduled to be performed at night or at any preset time, once or periodically, without anyone present. Passwords can be supplied automatically for file server connections.
Compatible with macOS Sierra - Synchronize! X Plus works on Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger (OS X 10.12, 10.11, 10.10, 10.9, 10.8, 10.7, 10.6, 10.5 and 10.4).
What's the difference between this and the Pro version ? Synchronize! X Plus is intended for synchronizing and backing up personal data on Mac OS X. Synchronize! Pro X is for backing up the entire Mac OS X system as well as all users' data, so that the backup is bootable. Synchronize! Pro X has a number of additional features, including the ability to preserve old files in an archive, to protect against accidental deletion. Here is a feature comparison.
To update to the latest version, download the new version and use it to replace the previous version. Your serial number is valid for any new version released within two years of your purchase of a license. After two years, you'll need to purchase a license renewal.

Attack of the Show goes zombie crazy again. Tomorrow, Alison Haislip sits down with Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone to talk about their latest undead action comedy thriller, Zombieland. (Could this film cross any more movie genres?)
In the film, Harrelson and Eisenberg attempt to handle a chaotic world overrun by zombies by pairing up with two young women, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. Now the four have to figure out if they'll even be able to survive living with each other. With plenty of humor, shotguns, banjos and rave reviews, Zombieland looks to be the Fall box office hit.
Check out Attack of the Show on September 30th at 7:00pm EST for our interviews with Woody Harrelson and the cast for clips from the film and more.

Mission: Impossible–Purely Declarative User Interface Modeling

Hello stranger!
You need to Register an InfoQ account or Login or login to post comments. But there's so much more behind being registered.Get the most out of the InfoQ experience.
Tell us what you think
And what does it solve?
Adam Nemeth
It's possible to create a declarative UI: just use HTML and CSS3 without JavaScript. CSS3 even does away with the transitions.
But what on Earth would it solve for the users?
Computers are interactive. Users command computers to do stuff for them. This is the basis situation. An imperative language expresses these need rather well.
Sure, you can build a declarative page descriptor, that's even benefical (albeit the above mentioned two languages are well-suited for this task already), but interacions will be verb-based. "If this button is pressed, we expect you, dear computer,to do this".
Declarative languages are known to hard to work with: while I'm fluent both in XSLT and TypoScript (just two examples), I know that most programmers find them really hard to work with.
A good engineering product is one that solves needs perfectly for the users. The user of an API is the programmer, and what a programmer creates is used by the end-user. If the programmer has to do dances, or the end-user gets a software with bad ergonomics, you've failed to create a good engineering product.
The good reaction to such CTO requests is "you're an idiot, you either forget this sh.t right now or I'm outta here."
Nowadays writing the UI in a declarative is not a challenge
Javier Paniza
The Challenge: "We want to write the complete UI of our next generation ERP System in a declarative way. Not a single imperative statement."
Today, any Java developer can write a business application with automatic UI generation using open source domain-driven frameworks, such as OpenXava. In fact, there is already a complete ERP without a line of User Interface code written with OpenXava.

From the roof of the RV on Monday as we work to pack up. The city is disapearing. There is a man working on the tech tower, and the Burning Man Earth camp is all gone except for us, and a bit of clean water poured out where camp used to be. The cameras are all dust coated - including inside the optics and on the s...

We made it out Monday evening and wanted to be in Gerlach during the day so we could check on some things. So we found a corner and made ourselves comfortable.

no one - disregarding fit issues for a moment, this outfit is "ruined" by both the shirt collar and the tie. Same outfit with a white shirt (or a blue shirt) would undoubtedly be better, even with a striped shirt or a checked shirt... and with another tie even more so
citan - can't get behind that chunky lilac windowpane. Is that a suit or sport coat?
I appreciate your comments. The tie is actually burgundy and has a herringbone self pattern, something which is not apparent in the photograph. I am not certain this helps my case.
I can tell from your posts that my taste (or lack thereof) regarding colour combinations differs drastically from yours. Perhaps I am beyond salvation in that respect. Having said that, I am extremely interested in hearing your comments regarding fit issues. I understand, however, that these are beyond the scope of this thread, which I will not derail any further.

Due to data availability issues, the time period used in the calculation of the joinpoint regression model may differ for selected counties. 3 Rate ratio is the county rate divided by the US rate. Source: Death data provided by the National Vital Statistics System public use data file. Death rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Death rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+). The Healthy People 2020 goals are based on rates adjusted using different methods but the differences should be minimal. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI. The 1969-2013 US Population Data File is used with mortality data. Note: When the population size for a denominator is small, the rates may be unstable. A rate is unstable when a small change in the numerator (e.g., only one or two additional cases) has a dramatic effect on the calculated rate. Suppression is used to avoid misinterpretation when rates are unstable. State Cancer Registries may provide more current or more local data. Data presented on the State Cancer Profiles Web Site may differ from statistics reported by the State Cancer Registries (for more information). Trend for the following could not be reliably determined due to small number of deaths per year: Taliaferro County |

Too big, too pointless!
Btw, is anyone still finding the 12" Speederbike w/Biker Scout? Now that is a thing i'd love to have! IMO this, Electronic Vader and the 12" Portrait Amidala's are the only decent 12" items they made since 1977.

No chance of every buying it in the UK, unless you want to pay £130. That's the going price.
It may go for $30 or so in the US, but by the time it gets over here, the price is really stupid. It is also an 'UGLY' piece, I never have liked it. I don't generally collect any of the 12" unless they are in the bargain bin.
The ONLY 12" worth buying was the Speeder Bike with Scout, fantastic sculpting. May possibly get Luke & Speeder but the Dewback is a BIG NO NO.

I payed $80 for it and don't regret it for a second because it's in a perfect condition box and it's quite a unique piece when you think about it. I really doubt that you'll be seeing to many of these in the future MIB

Recently, someone on Facebook asked what store I would recommend for Fall's hottest boots and of course I said Piperlime. Piperlime is my go-to place for the season's newest shoes that are reasonably priced. Plus, I love checking out the Rachel Zoe picks! Spotted some fabulous booties this weekend when I was doing a little online shopping and wanted to share a few of my favs:
STEVEN by Steve Madden 'Partey' for $169
These look surprisingly luxe for Steve Madden! Peep toe booties are so "in" right now and the pleated vamp gives them a sophisticated look.
Rock & Republic 'Danica' for $325
Can you tell I'm loving peep-toe booties? The different textures are spot on for Fall and you know I love an exterior platform!
Chinese Laundry 'Hide & Seek' for $89
Fab price for such sexy booties and they are perfect for girl's night out!
Happy Monday!!

The song Longing For Tomorrow dropped last December on Dre's Bandcamp page, and just last week the video surfaced, shot around the U Street area by fellow DC producer W. Ellington Felton. The camerawork is more than a bit dizzying, but it's still a pretty entertaining video. Keep your eyes peeled for Dre Kay's full length release coming soon!

I just got this precious phishing e-mail, warning that my Gmail account is going to be closed if I don't confirm my identity. I love the Ring-like seven day warning, and the "warning code" that appears in the lower left-hand corner.
My latest travel experience has convinced me that I need to invest in a good set of noise-cancelling headphones. I couldn't turn up my iPod's volume loud enough to drown out the voices of those two people sitting behind me on the two-and-a-half hour flight from Colorado Springs to Atlanta. It's not that they were talking all that loudly, they just had those nasally voices operating at just the right frequency to pierce glass.
I knew that for a small fortune I could probably get some Bose headphones that would do a fine job, but I was hoping to find a compromise that would work almost as well. As it turned out, Googling for "noise cancelling headphones" led me to a recent review (by David Pogue) of some notable alternatives. The problem is that, so far, I can't find two of his top picks in any local stores. There's no hint on the Audio-Technica web site about where you can find their ATH-ANC7 headphones in stores, and it's not clear to me that the Panasonic RP-HC500 headphones are even being made anymore.
I could order either of these off of Amazon.com (or some other online dealer), but I really want to try them out in person first. I have a history with headphones not fitting me very well.
By day two of the Ruby Hoedown, I had more or less gotten the hang of the whole "Inner Beltline" vs. "Outer Beltline" thing. If you know me, it will not surprise to hear that I had a little bit of trouble finding my way around Raleigh and got lost a few times on Friday. The problem is that when you go to get on I-440, they don't tell you which entrance is northbound and which is southbound, because no, that would make it too easy. You have to know that traffic on the Inner Beltline goes clockwise around the city, and traffic on the Outer Beltline goes counter-clockwise, and choose your path accordingly.
The morning began with a breakfast sponsored by Microsoft: Krispy Kreme donuts and juice (Breakfast of Champions). A nice gesture considering that the previous evening's keynote had referred to Microsoft as the "great satan of the northwest". The first presentation of the morning was by Andrea O. K. Wright, who spoke about various game development APIs. This is yet another one of those subjects about which I know very little, so I was surprised to see such a wide variety of projects out there. I'm definitely going to check out a few that she mentioned, like Gosu, Ogre.rb and Shattered Ruby.
Next up was a series of lightning talks. I'm not going to list all of the topics here, but they were all good and to the point. I think this is the first conference I've attended that featured lightning talks, and it's a nice way to provide a break between the longer sessions. After the lightning talks, we broke for lunch and a set of birds-of-a-feather sessions. I organized a BOF on the Semantic Web and Ruby, and it attracted a pretty good sized crowd. A handful of us were pretty familiar with the subject, while many of the others were just interested in hearing what it was all about, but we had a good discussion.
After lunch, Ken Auer spoke about whether Ruby has a chasm to cross, from the domain of technology enthusiasts and visionaries (where he feels it currently resides) to the pragmatists (a.k.a. the "early majority"). He argued that the public face of Ruby and Rails community doesn't appeal to those people in the early majority because we aren't addressing their needs; we need to focus on functional teams, serving the customer. His talk covered a lot of the same ground that Bruce covered in his keynote the previous day, but it was interesting to hear Ken's observations from the perspective of a former Smalltalker. And I'd just never met Ken or heard him speak, so I enjoyed it for that reason too.
Next, Jared Richardson spoke about using C extensions to tune the performance of Ruby and Rails applications. He talked about writing extensions directly in C, and then moved on to RubyInline, and finally touched on the Ruby2C project (which, as he informed us, is developed by "two guys named zenspider and Ryan Davis"; yes, heckling ensued). None of this information was new to me, but during the conference wrap-up discussion, several people said that this was the most valuable thing that they had learned about during the Hoedown ("this" being the education about C extensions, not the revelation of Ryan's split personality), so I'm glad that this talk was selected for the program. Also, I'd never had a chance to hear Jared speak, and he's a really entertaining presenter. When the start of his presentation was delayed for what seemed like an eternity (due to various technical problems), he managed to keep the audience entertained by throwing boxes of Nerds candy to (or should I say, at) various audience members who answered his questions correctly.
Marcel Molina, Jr. had the final presentation of the day, with his keynote titled "What Makes Code Beautiful?" It was, as Marcel acknowledged, more of a "pop" talk, light on technical information, but he proposed a useful model for thinking about what we mean when we make the claim that Ruby code is beautiful. He emphasized three qualities of beauty (a la St. Thomas Aquinas): proportion (i.e. is the relative size of a bit of code consistent with its intent?); integrity (how well does this code do what it's supposed to do?) and clarity (is it easy to understand)? These qualities can of course be in conflict with each other: extremely terse code might satisfy the need for proportion, but simultaneously violate the need for clarity. A lot of the discussion during the Q&A session went over my head, but it was a nice way to wrap up the weekend.
Chad and Marcel helped to organize a post-conference game of Werewolf, and thanks to Jim Meyer we were able to secure a place to play. A handful of the guys were experienced players, but it was the first time for most of us (including me), and it was a lot of fun. As Chad noted, it was a great way for us to really strengthen the friendships that we'd formed over the weekend, because, after all, there's nothing that builds a relationship more than accusing someone you've only known for a couple of hours of being a shapeshifter. Thanks to the management of the Velvet Cloak Inn for letting us camp out in one of their meeting rooms until late into the night, and especially to their employee Caitlin who joined us for the last game of the night.
It's about 11:15 a.m. and I'm walking up the sidewalk to Red Hat Headquarters when someone coming out of the building sees my Seaside t-shirt and asks, "Hey! Is that Seaside the framework… or Seaside the town?" You know you're around your own kind when you get a question like that.
Today was the first day of the Ruby Hoedown, the first ever southeastern regional Ruby conference. I arrived a couple of hours early to see if I could be of any help setting up, but Nathaniel pretty much had things under control, so my new friend Mark Barton and I walked to lunch a few blocks away. The walk didn't take all that long, maybe ten minutes, but in the 100+ degree temperature weather that Raleigh had today it seemed much longer. I'm not normally a big Burger King fan, but when it appeared around the corner it was like an oasis in the desert. Luckily, we managed to find a shortcut on the way back.
Back at the Hoedown, more people had begun to arrive. We have about 125 in attendance, which is pretty cool considering that that's two or three times as many people as attended the first RubyConf back in 2001. After some introductions, Ezra Zygmuntowicz (zig-mun-tuv-itch) spoke first, about Merb. It's a web framework built on Mongrel and Erb that's an alternative to Rails and which effectively replaces the ActionPack component of Rails (i.e. the view and controller). Ezra started Merb as a hack, to get around some performance problems with Rails. The guiding design principle is to keep the Merb core small and simple. Ezra feels that Rails has gotten too large and gets slower with each new release. Merb features non-clever code, such as a simplified routing system that leads to smaller stack traces (as compared to Rails) when something goes wrong. It's a "hacker's framework." The upcoming 0.4 release of the framework should be feature complete, with all additional functionality to be provided via plugins.
Up next was Jay Phillips, speaking about Adhearsion, a Ruby framework for Voice over IP (VoIP) application development on Asterix boxes. This is a topic about which I know zero, but according to Jay, VoIP development sucks. An Asterix application is written as a "dial plan", a long and difficult-to-read script. There are few if any database-driven VoIP applications, and code sharing is almost non-existent. Jay hopes to change that with Adhearsion, and especially with the Adhearsion.com web site. There's a Linux distribution called AsterixNow, based on Red Hat, that provides an out-of-the-box solution for setting up Asterix. That distribution should soon include Adhearsion, maybe after the upcoming 0.8 release of Adhearsion. Due to technical difficulties we weren't able to see a live demo of Adhearsion, but Jay promises to put screencasts up on the Adhearsion.com web site.
The last presentation this afternoon was Bruce Tate, speaking about "The Journey": where we've been, where we are, and where we could go. Because it was such a compelling talk (not to say the first two weren't compelling talks), I didn't take a lot of notes. Hopefully, Bruce will post the slides on his web site.
I knew that we were supposed to have a social get-together, with food, at Pullen Park after today's events. I even copied down the directions when Nathaniel announced it. But somewhere in there I missed the fact that the time had been moved up from 7:00 p.m. (when it was originally scheduled) to 6:00 p.m. So by the time I arrived at the park, everyone had finished eating and the caterers were packing up. Which is a shame, because if you know me, you know how much I love eating outdoors, what with the ants and flies. Luckily, I managed to snag a couple of pieces of fried chicken and a roll, and went to a nearby table to join the group there.
As I sat down, Marcel Molina was in the middle of what he called his "medium length" description of Werewolf (a.k.a. Mafia), a game which I've heard references to but haven't actually had the opportunity to play. There was some talk of getting up a game tonight, but that plan sort-of fizzled due to lack of a suitable venue. Hopefully, we'll be able to work something out for tomorrow. When I went to leave the park, and head back to the hotel, the song "Werewolves of London" was playing on the car radio. Coincidence? You be the judge.

Total deaths and deaths from circulatory causes were 26 percent to 36 percent higher in the winter versus the summer in seven different U.S. climates, researchers found.
"This study has an important take-home message: Stay healthy year round," says A. Marc Gillinov, MD, cardiac surgeon in Cleveland Clinic's Heart & Vascular Institute. "Don't just plan to 'get in shape' for summer."
Deaths from circulatory causes were defined as deaths caused by:
The study, presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012, analyzed death certificate data over four years from: Los Angeles County, Calif.; Texas; Arizona; Georgia; Washington; Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
Although cardiac deaths were more common in the winter than in the summer in all of the climates studied, people who live in areas where it snows should take additional precautions. "If you have known coronary heart disease or you develop chest pain with exertion, avoid shoveling snow," Dr. Gillinov says. "If you do shovel snow, dress in layers and make sure that you warm up and take frequent breaks from the work."

V.I. Raiders hire new head coach
One of the V.I. Raiders' original champions returns as the team's new head coach.
Nanaimo's junior football club announced Tuesday it has hired Brian Ridgeway as coach.
The 29-year-old from Grande Prairie, Alta., decided this off-season to retire from the CFL, where he had been a linebacker with the Montreal Alouettes. The timing was ideal for him to return to Nanaimo, where he helped the Raiders win a Canadian Junior Football League championship in 2006.
"We're very, very excited with who we've got … and the future of this football team is fantastic," said Chris Cross, Raiders president. "The more and more we talked to [Ridgeway], the more and more we knew that this person was the one and there'd be no other."
Ridgeway was an original Raider, moving up from Victoria along with coaches and teammates for the inaugural 2005 season. He went on to play CIS football before getting drafted to the pros.
Kabel Atwall, Raiders vice-president, said the club wanted to hire an alumnus.
"He understands what we're all about and the commitment to winning…" Atwall said. "That was one of the criteria that we were looking at to grow our franchise was to involve our alumni as much as we could."
It was concussion issues that sidelined Ridgeway's CFL career. He had doctor's permission to keep playing, but decided not to mess around with head health. Instead, he can bring the work ethic he learned in pro football to a new role.
"Every second of every day matters in the CFL because there's so much to do, so much to study and I just love that high-intensity environment," he said. "This way I still get to stay in the game with football."
He has helped coach Raiders camps several times over the years, but he doesn't have head coaching experience.
"He's made to coach, so we're not worried about that whatsoever," Cross said.
Indeed, the new coach intends to immerse himself in all aspects of the job, from recruiting, to pursuing scholarships, to doing community relations, to taking care of handyman work at the practice facility. And of course, football, football, football.
"If I have to be the head coach, defensive coordinator, linebackers coach and special teams coordinator, I'll do that," he said. "That's not ideal, but if that's the only way I can ensure that we're giving the players all the information they need to be successful on game day, then that's how it's going to have to be."
He has a lot of game film from last season to go over to get an idea about potential returning players. Guys will have to compete for their positions all over again, as they probably expected.
"I have fresh eyes…" the coach said. "I get to come in and say, well, this is what we need, this is insufficient, this is great, let's keep running with this."
Being on the Raiders' sideline on game day is going to be exciting for Ridgeway. He said he might be even more emotionally involved in a game as a coach than as a player because he's ultimately responsible for game planning and preparation.
The Raiders believe the new coach will bring passion, but at the same time discipline, organization and a detail-oriented approach.
"Coming into our 10th year we're now sort of embarking on the new chapter of the Raiders," Atwall said.
Expectations, though, will be the same. The goal always has been and always will be a national championship, Ridgeway said.
"That's how we started off, that's how we're going to continue," he said. "If your goal isn't that, then there's no point playing. Why would you want to play to be mediocre? We want to play, we want to play well and we want to win."

Comments about Large Breed Adult Food:
With two dogs who top 360 lbs together, food is always an issue! Innova Large Bread (with a Great Dane for the symbol) is the ticket! Yes, the dry is eaten, but the canned wet....well, my Danes do a jump-up-and-down happy, zoomie dance!! My husband says I should video it--it's that funny and reliable! They don't react that way for any other food, and Danes are VERY picky about what they love!
My only complaint...the wet can lead to loose stool.

Dear Fellow Researchers:
I am writing in hopes that someone can point me in the direction of North Carolina resources. The following is a message that was sent to me in response to a query I have regarding my Samuel (also spelled Samuels) line. The author of this message has given me the go ahead to share this email with you. You will notice a list of names at the in her message, these are the names of some of the slaves as mentioned in her ancestor's will. In another email, she informed me that each of his children received one or two slaves; those children in turn moved to various locations.
If you have any information on resources she can use in North Carolina, please pass them on to me so that I may pass them on to her. One of the slaves may have a connection to my line.
Thank you very much and best wishes with your research. L. Kimbrough
Hello, My Samuel family migration seems to be VA>NC>KY>IL>KS and I saw your query about kin in KY. I discovered that my 6th great grandfather, Anthony Samuel, Caswell CO, NC, owned slaves when he died in 1826. Many of the Samuel folk migrated to KY early in the 1800's. Since Anthony's slaves were "distributed" to his descendents, it is possible some of these folks went to KY too. The names I have are Warner, John, Pompey, Judy, Betty and Bridget, Luckey, Lory, George.
I would like to find out more about these people and what happened to them, but am not well versed on African-American research. If you could suggest a place to start for 1826 in NC, I'd like to do some research. If I can be of more help in your research, please let me know.
Thanks, Bonnie

Stormwater Management Fact Sheet: Grassed Filter Strip
Grassed filter strips (a.k.a., vegetated filter strips, filter strips, and grassed filters) are vegetated areas that are intended to treat sheet flow from adjacent impervious areas. Filter strips function by slowing runoff velocities and filtering out sediment and other pollutants, and providing some infiltration into underlying soils. Filter strips were originally used as an agricultural treatment practice, and have more recently evolved into an urban practice. With proper design and maintenance, filter strips can provide relatively high pollutant removal. One challenge associated with filter strips, however, is that it is difficult to maintain sheet flow. Consequently, urban filter strips are often "short circuited" by concentrated flows, which results in little or no treatment of stormwater runoff.
Filter strips are applicable in most regions of the country, but are restricted in some watersheds where land is not available to install them. Filter strips are best suited to treating runoff from roads and highways, roof downspouts, very small parking lots, and pervious surfaces. They are also ideal components of the "outer zone" of a stream buffer (for more information see the Buffer Zone Fact Sheet), or as pretreatment to another stormwater treatment practice. Recent stormwater manuals do not consider the filter strip as a treatment practice, but do offer stormwater volume reductions, in exchange for using filter strips to treat some of a site (MDE, 2000).
Regional Applicability
Filter strips
can be applied in most regions of the country with the exception of arid areas,
where the cost of irrigating grass outweighs its water quality benefits.
Ultra Urban Areas
Ultra urban areas
are densely developed urban areas in which little pervious surface exists. Filter
strips are often impractical in these areas since they require more space than
is often available.
Stormwater Hotspots
Stormwater hotspots
are areas where land use or activities generate highly contaminated runoff,
with concentrations of pollutants in excess of those typically found in stormwater.
A typical example is a gas station. In general, filter strips should not accept
hotspot runoff, since the infiltrated runoff could cause groundwater contamination.
In addition, it is doubtful whether filter strips can reliably remove high levels
of pollutants.
Stormwater Retrofit
A stormwater
retrofit is a stormwater management practice (usually structural) put into place
after development has occurred, to improve water quality, protect downstream
channels, reduce flooding, or meet other watershed restoration objectives. Filter
strips, however, generally a are poor retrofit option because they consume a
relatively large amount of space, and cannot treat large drainage areas.
Cold Water (Trout) Streams
Cold water species, such as trout, are sensitive to changes in stream temperature.
While some treatment practices can warm streams substantially (such as wet ponds;
see the Wet Ponds Fact Sheet for more information),
filter strips do not pond water on the surface for long periods of time, and
are not expected to contribute to stream warming. Thus, filter strips are a
good stormwater option for cold water streams.
Siting and Design Considerations
Siting Considerations
Designers need to ensure that filter strips are actually feasible for the development site in question. The following section provides basic guidelines for locating filter strips.
Drainage Area
Typically, filter
strips are used to treat very small drainage areas. The limiting design factor,
however, is not the drainage area the filter strip treats but rather the length
of flow contributing to it. As stormwater runoff flows over the ground's surface,
it changes from sheet flow to concentrated flow. That is, rather than moving
uniformly over the surface, it forms rivulets which are slightly deeper and
cover less area than the sheet flow. When flow concentrates, it moves too rapidly
to be effectively treated by a grassed filter strip. As a rule, flow concentrates
within a maximum of 75 feet for impervious surfaces, and 150 feet for pervious
surfaces (CWP, 1996).
Filter strips should
be designed on slopes between 2% and 6%. Greater slopes than this would encourage
the formation of concentrated flow. Except in the case of very sandy or gravelly
soil, runoff tends to pond on the surface of filter strips. Slopes flatter than
2%, may create mosquito breeding habitat.
Soils /Topography
Filter strips should
not be used on soils with a high clay content because they require some infiltration
for proper treatment. Another possible limiting factor would be very poor soils
that cannot sustain a grass cover crop.
Filter strips should
be separated from the groundwater by between two and four feet to prevent contamination,
and to ensure that the filter strip does not remain wet between storms.
Design Considerations
Filter strips
appear to be a minimal design practice, because they are basically no more than
a grassed slope. However, some design features are critical to ensure that the
filter strip provides a minimum amount of water quality treatment (for more
information, see Manual Builder Category).
Regional Variations
In cold climates, filter strips provide a convenient area for snow storage and treatment. If used for this purpose, vegetation in the filter strip should be salt tolerant, (e.g., creeping bentgrass), and a maintenance schedule should include the removal of sand built up at the bottom of the slope. In arid or semi-arid climates, designers should specify drought-tolerant grasses (e.g., buffalo grass) to minimize irrigation requirements.
Filter strips have several limitations related to their performance and space consumption.
Maintenance Considerations
Filter strips require similar
maintenance to other vegetative practices (see Grassed
Swales Fact Sheet for more information). These maintenance needs are outlined
below. Maintenance is very important for filter strips, particularly in terms
of ensuring that flow does not short circuit the practice.
Table 1. Typical Maintenance
Activities for Wet Ponds |

Regular (infrequent) |
Stormwater treatment practices can be used to achieve four broad resource protection goals. These include: Flood Control, Channel Protection, Groundwater Recharge, and Pollutant Removal (see the Manual Builder Category for more information). The first two goals, flood control and channel protection, require that a stormwater practice be able to reduce the peak flows of relatively large storm events (at least 1- to 2-year storms for channel protection and at least the 10- to 50-year storms for flood control). Filter strips do not have the capacity to detain these events, but can be designed with a bypass system to route these larger flows around the strip to a supplementary practice.
Filter strips can provide a small amount of groundwater recharge as runoff flows over the vegetated surface and ponds at the toe of the slope. In addition, it is believed that filter strips can provide modest pollutant removal. Studies from agricultural settings suggest that a fifteen foot wide grass buffer can achieve a 50% removal rate of nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment, and that a 100-foot buffer can reach closer to 70% removal of these constituents (Desbonette et al., 1994). It is unclear how these results can be translated to the urban environment, however. The characteristics of the incoming flows are radically different both in terms of pollutant concentration and the peak flows associated with similar storm events. To date only one study (Yu et al., 1992) has investigated the effectiveness of a grassed filter strip to treat runoff from a large parking lot. The study found that the pollutant removal varied depending on the length of flow in the filter strip. The narrower (75 foot) filter strip had moderate removal for some pollutants and actually appeared to export lead and nutrients (see Table 2).

Cost Considerations
Little data is available on the actual construction costs of filter strips. One rough estimate can be the cost of seed or sod, which is approximately 30¢ per square foot for seed or 70¢ per square foot for sod. This amounts to between $13,000 and $30,000 per acre for a filter strip, or the same amount per impervious acre treated. This cost is relatively high compared with other treatment practices. However, the grassed area used as a filter strip may have been seeded or sodded even if it were not used for treatment. In these cases, the only additional costs are the design, which is minimal, and the installation of a berm and gravel diaphragm. Typical maintenance costs are about $350/acre/year (adapted from SWRPPC, 1991). This is relatively inexpensive, and again, this may overlap with regular landscape maintenance costs.
The true cost of filter strips is the land that they consume, which is higher than for any other treatment practice. There are some situations where this land is available as wasted space beyond back yards or adjacent to road sides, but this practice is cost prohibitive when land prices are high and could be used for other purposes.

Sunderland and Man United to play in honour of Mandela
Sunderland was celebrating its recent collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, according to the report by the Saturday Star.
The event would have even more meaning as messages of support and prayers poured in for the former president who had been admitted to hospital with a recurring lung infection earlier this week.
Sunderland's players would wear T-shirts for the pre-game warm-up, bearing the foundation's logo and a special "text to donate" message in support of the foundation.
Nelson Mandela Day would see the launch of a special text number which would allow fans to pledge their support by donating R28 in support of the foundation.
Sunderland and Manchester United will take to the field through a guard of honour of young fans wearing Nelson Mandela Foundation T-shirts, along with 11 specially chosen mascots.
A flag bearing the foundation's logo will also be displayed and African-musicians, the Abatimbo Drummers of Burundi, will play before the match and at half-time.
The presidency said Mandela was "in good spirits" and making steady progress on Friday after a second day in hospital.
He spent Friday night in hospital as well. – Sapa

From CNN to the Enquirer, from Larry King to Barbara Walters, celebrities are in the news constantly. This is intriguing, to a point, but it often changes from intriguing to just annoying. This is particularly true when it comes to certain celebrities, celebrities that are shoved down our throats whenever our mouths are even slightly open. The following is a list of some of the celebrities who are always in the news, even when they shouldn't be.
Lindsay Lohan: Is it just me, or is Lindsay Lohan's recent arrest an attempt on her part to make sure other scandalous stars don't get anything she doesn't? I can just picture her, over a hushed conversation with her manager, saying, "Paris got to go to jail; now I want to!" But, of course, she is innocent of any wrongdoing — those drugs in her pocket weren't hers. I'm sure it's true, I know I often have cocaine in my pocket, only it's not so much cocaine as it is pocket lint.
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen: As a twin myself, it's possible that the Olsen twins make my list because I'm jealous: hell, my twin sister and I couldn't even score a Doublemint commercial, much less a billion dollar empire. Sure, they were cute when they were young and they obviously have made the right business connections, but do we really need to hear about everything they're doing? Now, do yourself a favor, and talk about my sister and me instead.
Britney Spears: I have to admit, the press coverage of her recent OK magazine interview was pretty entertaining. I particularly enjoyed the image of Britney wiping grease from fried chicken on her several thousand dollar rented dress. But, why is everything Britney does reported? At first it was mildly interesting, now it's just kind of sad.
Brangelina: Yes, he's gorgeous. Yes, she's beautiful. But still, I'm a little Brangelina'd out. Now, I will admit, it's nice to see positive press about celebrities: their humanitarian efforts are wonderful and we can only hope that the publicity of their actions will help others follow suit. Yet, do we need to hear about their vacations or turn the pages of every newspaper hoping for a daily update on a possible wedding? No, I'd rather just turn to the funnies.
TomKat: Ah, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, wherever there's a magazine, there will be the face of these two. I half expect to someday see the front page of the New York Times and read, "Daughter Suri has Bowel Movement: TomKat Very Pleased." Making fun of Tom doing his Oprah couch dance was entertaining and his "Placenta: it's what's for dinner" campaign was crazy enough to be intriguing, but now TomKat is getting sort of boring. I long for the days when Tom was more public with his insanity.

Feeling Guilty
For telling that dog owner that if he wasn't going to do it, then I was going to strap his dog down and wrap a rubber band around its balls. Dogs should be fixed, yes, but I need to learn some restraint.
For a second there I thought I put the new cordless phone into the warshing machine with all the towels, and all I could think was, how am I going to convince my husband that it's the dog's fault the phone doesn't work?

I took this on trade a while back thinking I was going to get into long range shooting.
It's a Savage L/A with a 30" Mcgowen fluted barrel, rifle basix trigger, Choate stock, EGW 20 MOA base, Millet TRS 4-16x-56 scope (scratch on side knob) and a Harris BR notched bipod. Its just a basic bolt action with a few add ons. The previous owner painted it and it was not done well but easily fixed. It would make great hunting or long range target rifle. I will try to get some pics up tonight. Asking $1500 obo Will trade for: 1.25 heim joints Set of 2.5 ton rockwells 28l26 tires 66x43 tires 67x34 tires 12" drop box Orbital valve w/ steering adapter 12-20" coil overs Excursion 6-8 lift 37 22 tires 22 8x170 wheels |

Sprint Ads Reveal New Ultra Thin Model
Nov 23, 2006, 11:23 AM by (staff)
Sprint today began running ads for a new high end clamshell phone which they claim is the thinnest available in the country. The Samsung M610 looks very similar to the 9.9mm thick Ultra Edition launched in Asia earlier this year. Like the Ultra Edition, the phone is shown to have a large color internal display and a small monochrome exterior screen. Sprint's teaser campaign reveals the M610 has EV-DO high speed data, a 2 Megapixel camera, Micro SD slot and Sprint's full Power Vision Service including Sprint TV. Updated: The M610 is now available for purchase through Sprint's business site. Further information reveals the phone also has Bluetooth, a QVGA screen and is 12mm thick.

Does color in the external display really matter?
New Sprint Samsung M610
I think the phone is KICK-ASS COOL!!!
To me any kind of external screen is fine as long as I am able to read it at a quick glance for date/time and caller ID.
I also like the thin form factor; as for Sprint themselves, the network is pretty OK, they just need to work on their people skills when it comes to customer service, that's all...
Cool phone though!
Something they should teach in high school.
cause going to a sprint store and cingular...
That is OFFICIAL stores...
Sprint and Cingular have terrible, TERRIBLE! PEOPLE SKILLS.. all Dee da dee's almost.
get smart, get p...

Seriously? You're going to take up for somebody who wishes for Obama to have severe heart problems? How is this any better than wishing George HW Bush dead as some DUers did weeks ago?
Just for the record, I said what I said to people earlier because I don't want to watch you all self-destruct for the next four years, constantly acting like the world has some to an end. I keep thinking most of you all are above this. To constantly live in fear, anxiety, and anger over who the President is is no way to live. When DUers did this, you all laughed and said it's ridiculous, and you all act no better. I hate to see people self-destruct like that.

Doctor Dating says: "I am no longer a registered sex offender!" Hey everyone, Doctor Dating here. Are your lives empty to the point where the only highlights of the bleak rut you've dug yourself into are the anguished midnight screams of heartbreak that officially count as "manic" in your bipolar mood swings? Is your desperation for companionship so strong that even neighborhood dogs are aware of and creeped out by your codependency? While some nincompoops and "real" doctors would say that you should work on being happy with yourself before you drag another person into your nightmarish hellscape of despair, I say you should spread that pain around like cream cheese on a delicious bagel! With raisins.
By following my series of instructions, or "steps," I'll guide you every "step" of the way and help you find some unsuspecting fool to latch onto as if you were an emotional lamprey. My instructions won't prevent you from dying in a horrible grease fire, but I'll guarantee that you won't die alone (hint hint)!
Meeting people
What many people fail to realize is that relationships, for the most part, require another person. Meeting these people, or "persons," requires a trip to the outside world. In fact, ninety percent of all research done outside Alabama says that most future life mates are found outside the home! "But Doctor Dating," you say in your thin, reedy, high-pitched voice, "I go to the grocery store once a week and to the library once a month to rent silent movies! And yet the dudes/babes are nowhere to be found!" Friend, it looks like you have not heard of Doctor Dating's "hot spots." And by "hot spots" I don't mean that disease I caught during one of my research trips to Brazil.
Anyway, here are a few examples of places you can go to meet like-minded losers, or "turkeys," as the kids call them.
Bus stations are the speakeasies of the 21st century. But with more syphilis! The Bus Station - Nothing has that air of magic, mystery, and deisel fumes quite like a bus station. Why, I've met four out of my nine wives at bus stations! There's no better place to strike up a conversation with a bored passenger-in-waiting, or one of the many crazy homeless people that will no doubt make you feel better about yourself! Given the typical dangerous nature of bus stations, there are bound to be bullets flying around at some point, which will give you the perfect chance to absorb hot lead as you shield your future wife or husband!
The Coffee Shop - If you demand a higher-grade cut of beef, slap on your favorite turtleneck, grab the thickest book you can, and head on down to the local coffee shop. Once you enter, order a drink that costs at least seven dollars, and then use Doctor Dating's handy formula to recite a quote so pretentious that liberal arts majors will flock to you like the studmuffin/cherry pie that you are. Just choose the appropriate words from the bottom columns and prepare to reach a new plateau of intellectualism.
I believe that _A_________ has _B_________ _C_________ with his/her _D_________
The Internet (artist's rendering). Please note that women are somewhere inside of this cloud.
The Internet - While you may think the internet is a wonderful place that has changed the way fourth graders write reports on elephants (fuck you, Zoobooks), it really should be the last resort when it comes to dating. If you think about it, the people using the internet are so desperate that they have to use the internet to get a date! Signing up for one of the many online dating services only puts you in the same league as these people. If you've ever wanted to meet someone who lives under a bridge or is so far into their Battlestar Galactica obsession that they think they are Commander Adama (I don't know who that is!), well, bully for you.
These sponges will make your hair WHITE and your teeth CURLY.
If you get these jokes, you KNOW you're smart!
I mean, they're not that bad. "Substandard" vending machines.

The Japanese two disc soundtrack for Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia features "more of the same" from the Castlevania series. And that's a good thing.
Now when I say "more of the same," I don't mean you're going to hear 8 arrangements of Vampire Killer. They actually didn't borrow many tracks from previous Castlevania titles. But stylistically, yes, it sounds just like a Castlevania soundtrack.
My favorite thing, consistently, about this soundtrack is the bass. The synth bass lines are awesome. Whether acoustic, electric, funk/slap, or other, the lower tones scattered throughout these songs sound awesome. Somehow, they survive the DS compression. They sound different, sure, but the DS sound source doesn't make the bass sound bad. It sounds oldschool and cool: totally appropriate for a Castlevania game.
Now, I would recommend this soundtrack to you. There's just one problem: you can't get it. Even though it has the standard Konami Style LC- catalog number (which makes you think Konami would at least be selling it via their own online store), this soundtrack was only made available to those who imported the game, and even then, in limited quantities. This soundtrack is part of the ridiculous 18 CD Castlevania box set released in 2010, though... so that might be a (very expensive) way to get it – though I'm told even that doesn't contain the full two discs of music found here. Also, as a last resort, you can enjoy the grossly compacted six-track American release.

Album Summary
- Diane Pilcher (Mezzo Soprano)
- Luigi Roni (Bass)
- Helene Schneiderman (Mezzo Soprano)
- Salvatore Cordella (Tenor)
- Paul Gay (Baritone)
- Thomas Hampson (Voice)
- Anna Netrebko (Soprano)
- Rolando Villaz�n (Tenor)
- Herman Wall�n (Voice)
Notes & Reviews:
Anna Netrebko has quickly established herself as one of the finest sopranos in the world today. "Violetta" is a show-stopping recording of highlights from her history-making turn as the star of Verdi's 'La Traviata', recently released by Deutsche Grammophon. This release includes a bonus DVD featuring music videos and a photo gallery. Here is what the critics have been saying: "Her voice is meltingly beautiful" (The New York Times); "The singer who simply has it all" (San Francisco Chronicle); "Be forewarned: Netrebko can be habit-forming" (Washington Post); "A chill-inducing set of pipes and supermodel looks" (Details)
Notes & Reviews:Violetta, a CD featuring Anna Netrebko, is essentially an album of highlights from La Traviata, and although the focus is rightly on her, the musical quality of all the performances and of the entire album is terrific. The recording comes from a production at the 2005 Salzburg Festival. With an all-star cast that also features Rolando Villazón and Thomas Hampson, the performances generated an ecstatic reaction from the Salzburg audiences, and the recording captures the excitement of the experience. The soloists, orchestra, and chorus perform with a vibrant energy that propels the drama with unusual urgency. Netrebko sings flawlessly with a sumptuous, velvety legato, and she is completely engaging as Violetta, beautifully capturing her high spirits, her inner strength, and her physical frailty. "Ah, fors'è lui" is particularly moving. Villazón is a fine foil for her, with a dark, burnished tenor and an impetuous, sometimes explosive temperament. Hampson's Germont is vocally superb, but he seems somewhat disengaged and doesn't bring the same level of emotional investment to his role as the romantic leads. Carlo Rizzi leads the Vienna Philharmonic with meticulous attention to the details of Verdi's scoring, giving the music a punchiness that tends to get smoothed out in many performances. The orchestral balances are exceptionally fine, so that each scene is distinctively shaded and colored. Deutsche Grammophon's sound is wonderfully clear and present, capturing the positive elements of a live performance without the distractions or limitations that frequently mar live recordings. ~ Stephen Eddins
