Wilson Pickett's 634-5789 is, of course, a song about telephones. It swings like the saloon doors in a wild west film, and swaggers like a cowboy who just got paid. Pickett shows off his voice, his peerless backing band and his prowess. If there is a promise of tenderness in the slightly awkward, no more lonely nights, will you be alone, this is swept away by the middle eight's proviso that he might be just a little bit late; presumably from an earlier assignment. By this point, the phone number is becoming secondary to that swagger; and my teenage self, from our topic the week before, is feeling a little envious of Mr Pickett. Maybe he can wait until we do RR Bragging Songs (now that would be a busy week)…
The Carter Family's Hello Central, Give Me Heaven reminds me of Arthur C Clarke's law, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". A bereavement psychologist would describe as "magical thinking", how the young girl connects the stories she's been told about heaven, with the unfathomable capabilities of the telephone. William Bell and Judy Clay's Private Number, in the decades I've known the song, had never made me wonder what they did while he was away ? They clearly didn't call each other or write, because he wouldn't have come back to town unaware of her new number. So it's really a song about not telephoning, suggesting that it's such a frustrating way to keep in touch, it's better just to wait.
Musing like this can keep me occupied for hours, in a place that MummyP calls "away in Readers Recommend-Land", and is one of the two best things I found about being an RR guru. The other is the duty to listen to things I wouldn't normally pick out of the blog. Six of the twelve A-listers were songs I hadn't heard before. Of these, I might have listened to two in a normal week, a further two in a good week, and two more – plus several additional great tunes besides – I would've passed over.
The two worst things were, firstly, the brutal arithmetic that meant cutting songs off once I knew they weren't going to make the list. I hate cutting a song short, but the equation says:
N (nominations) x D (song duration) >;>; T (available time)
Secondly, the lack of sleep. Even with two days of annual leave, and MummyP's understanding and support, it was increasingly past my bedtime for 4 nights, until my e-mail to Adam with the article at 3.30am on the Tuesday. Family life with young children means that guruing might have to be just an annual treat for me. Next time, I might take more notice of Shane's point that, if there's nothing to grab you and suggest you're going to like a song, there's no obligation to listen.
Like Shane again, and Fuel, I drew on the compilation tapes of my youth (too long ago for me to have called them 'Mixtapes'). There are many branches of the guruological art. My playlist could've been like a party tape or an impress-somebody tape, or just my twelve favourites without worrying about the playlist. The article could've had quotes from recommenders or a simple reason why I like each song. Each method would've produced a different A-list, and each one would've been just fine.
The Marconium is brilliant, definitely DO remember to use it – but I stopped checking every single song against it, because it seemed to interrupt the flow of listening. I waited until I had 30 or so "contenders" before checking.
Recommenders' justifications and musings are your best friends ! They can be food for thought about the topic as a whole, as well as the particular song. Therefore, working via the blog is definitely best, in whatever order suits you, rather than listening in Spotify / 'Box' order, very handy though both places are.
I'd say do the first draft of your article and playlist fairly early on. I had the first version, with a few gaps, about halfway through my listening. There were plenty of changes, but it helped to have the shape of things; and it meant the B-list almost took care of itself. The second half of my listening became easier, a mini-tournament of new songs v the draft selections.
Don't forget the 'flow' of a playlist. I thought I had a great list and decent article just after midnight on Tuesday, but I looked again and realised the pacing felt all wrong. Tough to make changes, especially when every rejig means a redraft.
I did regret at times, my comment that it was a week for 'if in doubt, shout it out'. But I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on any songs because someone had hesitated over its sufficiency of telephones. I was grateful for all who wrote and justified, and for every little bit of information about what's 'zedded', but shouting out songs is what we do best.
Here follows my A-list. I know that recommenders will have moved on to the new topic, but nevertheless I'll rebuild my sandcastle here, mostly for myself, and in case it suits anyone to listen to with the Sunday ironing or washing-up.

Duel in the Desert, Part 84
Posted By Leslie Charles On Dec 2 2010 @ 3:14 pm In Arizona State | 2 Comments
In one of the oldest college football rivalry games, the Arizona State Sun Devils look to head down to Tucson and further plunge the once-stellar season of the Arizona Wildcats. The Sun Devils season has been marked by underachieving week after week, but this Thursday evening they hope to end their season on a high note with a beautiful (heck, ugly wouldn't be bad) win over their neighbors to the south. The Devils currently sit at 5-6 and a win over a fairly decent Arizona Wildcats could help with a possible bowl bid for the Sun Devils.
But first they must get past an Arizona team that held Oregon down through most of first half of their game last week. Though they have now lost 3 in a row, the Wildcats have played very good football this season. Their passing offense is ranked #1 in the Pac-10 thanks to the arm of NFL-caliber QB Nick Foles. But last week ASU found a pretty good QB. Though Threet had helped the ASU Sun Devils passing offense rank #2 in the Pac-10, when he went out with injury last week Brock Osweiler stepped up and filled in.
Osweiler brings a certain swagger back to the position of QB for the Sun Devils many haven't truly seen since Andrew Walter left in 2005. The Sun Devils QB picked up 380 passing yards, four TDs, and a rushing touchdown. He infused energy into the team that seemed to be lacking this season amongst many of the youngsters. He got the faithful in Sun Devil Stadium on Black Friday on their feet. Because of him, the Devils were able to dominate every aspect of the game…just like they should have been doing all season. The offense finally did their job and the defense was able to hold up the entire way with less time on the field. This is what Devils fans have been waiting to witness. Our offense saved us…thanks to Brock Osweiler.
This guy is definitely looking like next year's favorite. But before we start looking ahead to the 2011 Sun Devils hope he is the QB to return the nation's oldest rivalry trophy to ASU. The Territorial Cup deserves to be back where it belongs…in Tempe.

Well, that game didn't really go as planned. Patriots came into the Jets game anticipating a big one and being one step closer to the Super Bowl. Only problem, is they got man-handled by the Jets. Hats off to the struggling underdogs, but they came into the game and played hard; played like they should have all season. This game was all about the Jets and even though they were not able to beat the Steelers in the AFC Championship game, they still beat their rival Patriots 2 out of 3 times this season.
I expected big things from the Pats this game; lots of offense and lots of scoring. I also did not expect that terrible Jets' offense to put up more than 17 points. It was a real disappointment of a game and just ruined what was looking to be a solid season for the Patriots. The Patriots just looked off, they seemed confused on both sides of the ball. They definitely were not playing like themselves and it must have really hurt them having that first round bye. Their momentum must have just disappeared during that bye week.
All in all, the Jets strait up beat the Patriots and played much better on both sides of the ball. The Patriots offense had no rhythm and was outmatched by a solid Jets' defense. The Patriots did however put together a solid regular season and I expect some good things again next season.

KCON Big apple Concert Day 2: From Starting to End, Uncontrollable Excitement
KCON The giant apple Concert Day 2: From Starting to End, Uncontrollable ExcitementWritten through Madi On July 4, 2016KCON 2016 Big apple Presented by Totoya held at the Prudential Middle in Newark, NJ unquestionably proved to be a festival to celebrate all things Hallyu and day two was once no other from day one.
The following may also bestated around most, if now not all, conventions: Saturday is usually and without a doubt the main day. The crowd is bigger, the lines at dealer booths are longer, and other people are waiting early in line for total admission. And we're not speaking 10am when the conference starts. There has beenindividualscoated up as early as 8:30am.
Fast ahead to 7pm and it's far concert time. Saturday's line up consisted of Mamamoo, Eric Nam, Day6, and BTS.
BTS changed into the headliner for the concert (and beautiful much all of KCON was about BTS) and any time their call was mentioned, the crowd went wild making it glaring who they were most commonly there for.
But the crowd was not biased. All of the artists gaineda wonderful amount of shouting, applauding, cheering, and not many of us sitting, if any, all over their sets.
The opening of the concert started amongst Jun Sung-ahn. Whilst many now know him as BgA's maknae, he's known for his violin and dance covers of K-pop songs. He conducted one reside song and then BTS's "Save Me", whole with dance moves from the song's tune video. He was actually a just right artist to get the crowd excited.
Ailee and BTS's Rap Monster returned to MC some otherevening of the concert. Unlike day one, there was less scripted lines and the communique between the either one of them and the crowd gave the impression more natural.
Mamamoo was the primary act to grace the degree with their jazzy vocals and dominating stage presence. The set list composed of "You're the Best", "Mr. Ambiguous", "Taller than You", "Piano Man," and "Um Oh Ah Yeh". Thosewomenknow the wayto engage with and go a crowd. To be added to a Saturday line up was a plus because they were definitely a fan favourite that night.
Even even though Hwasa owned the stage, I couldn't stay my eyes off Solar. Visually, she was surprising (still is), but vocally? She threw down some notes and I felt like I practically forgot to breathe.
And I'll admit, I won't don a radish mild stick any time soon, but I believe I'm intrigued adequate straight offto hear their music more actively. As per the mid-year review, I did actuallypay attention to their newest album, but it was my 2dcreation to them, the 1st being "Ahh Oop!" with eSNa.
On the calmer aspect of the night, Eric Nam showed up with a bouquet of roses to hand out which was in sync with his intro video. While the crowd neglected out on "Ohh Ohh", which he didn't realize was so popular, Eric was awesome ample to pattern an acapella edition of the song.
Despite the loss of "Ohh Ohh", Eric executed "Good For You", "I'm Okay", "Heaven's Door" and "Into You." Most artists don't have a tendencyto accomplish songs which are as well asfresh for the shortcoming of fan engagement, but he didn't care. Prior to taking the crowd away with "Into You", he told the crowd that since he's a solo singer, he has no backup dancers. On account of that, he wantedall and sundry to dance. Despite the reality that many would possibly peg Eric Nam as a ballad singer, he definitely has a charismatic way with the crowd. And if you're not conversant in Mr. Nam, then that a phase of his personality will certainly sneak up on you and sweep you off your feet.
After a display of Rap Monster's aegyo via Ailee's push which he was perplexed every bit to how the crowd knew that note Day6 install to take the Prudential Center by storm. I say this because Day6 isn't like other K-pop acts, they're strictly a band that fairly much promotes on their own. They don't have much assist from JYPE outdoor of being a protection net, so for them to come to KCON was good way to introduce them to new lovers and give existing fans a possibility to shower them with love.
Day6's set list incorporated of "Letting Go", "Congratulations", and "Freely". Surprisingly, on KCON's list of the artist's song stash playlist, their debut song, "Congratulations", didn't make the cut which individually is one in their best songs as a group. Day6 most certainly had some of the best setlists, acting their most pleasurable songs.
Having the lads on stage, it was quilt time. Like the former night of Seventeen's canopy of Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry," Day6 led the crowd into some conceal songs by performing CN Blue's "I'm a Loner" and "Lies" by Big Bang. It definitely took the target audience a moment to consider of the latter song. While the crowd stayed true to CN Blue, they made "Lies" their own by their musical rearrangement. Even although they played a small intro of the song, the crowd didn't change intoconscious about what song they were covering till Jae started making a song "I'm so sorry, but I like you…" Then, the crowd went berserk.
Riding that wave, the band beganto hide Wonder Girls's "Nobody". Day6, like the song before, made this song their own. Midway though, Mamamoo returned to the stage to sing and dance to the song. All people was singing along, reminiscing in the throwback moment.
Just while youconcept the covers were over, Ailee and Eric Nam returned to the stage performing "Some" by SoYou and JunggiGo. I wasn't familiar with this song, but the 2 played the romance feel of the song moderatelyneatly and the chemistry was great between them. It was showed at the end that either are remarkable at acting, confessing the interactions between them in the route of the song were weird.
Finally, the headliners were making their way to the stage. The audience have beenlooking forward to this moment and couldn't hang back any longer, knowing your complete artists had already played for the night and there was just one left. In spite of not desiring an intro, a video introduction played, perhaps messing with the crowd's inability to wait. And after a pause that gave the glance of an eternity, "Fire" started to play as the members of BTS arrived, bobbing up on a platform in the process the stage.
The power BTS gave though their entire set list was out of this international and nobody dared to take a seat down during their performances. "Save Me" was their only slow song with the purpose to speak, but the calories started to incline back when they performed "Fun Boys." Yet what actuallywere given the crowd hyped back up was when they stunned the audience with "Cypher pt. 3". BTS hasn't released a Cypher since before their The Most lovely Moment in Life series. Even though the crowd went loopy for "Fire," when the first few beats of "Cypher pt.3" dropped, the crowd promptly lost their well, you know.
The workforce wrapped up the concert with "Dope" which was a good way to end their set list and the night because KCON 2016 NY Saturday night's concert was not anything but "Dope".
I don't know about any of you who attended Saturday's concert, but it felt too short. The blocked off the time for the concert was 7pm 10pm, but the concert ended at 9:30pm. Not just that, but taking into account BTS was the headliner, they might possess done no less than3 more songs to have a whole of 8 performances. With BTS's setlist, adding "I Want You" and probably swapping out "Fun Boys" for "Bapsae" would have made the concert more enjoyable…
Even though I think this way, I left the concert feeling content. I used to bein a position to revel in all the artists in user and be swept up by the energy from the concert. I walked into the Prudential Center feeling tired from all the policy nosotros did during the day, but that was all long gonethe instant the lighting fixtures went low and the concert began.
What was your expertise during the concert? Did you would like for more or simply felt bless enough for it to all go down in one night? Please leave your mind in the comments and hope to look next year, KCON!

Marmite will be back in the pantry by March 20, Sanitarium says.
The company's general manager, Pierre van Heerden, told the Campbell Live show it had been a long wait, but he thanked Marmite-lovers for their patience.
Stocks of Marmite ran dry early last year after Sanitarium's Christchurch plant was forced to shut down because of earthquake damage.
"It's been a long 15 months," Mr van Heerden said.
"We're almost there ... the wait isn't that long any more."
Marmite was initially expected to return to shelves last July, but that date was pushed back to October after Sanitarium found further structural damage at the factory.
The date was pushed back further with Sanitarium indicating the factory would be up and running by Christmas.
"The process isn't easy, because of the blending and getting all the yeasts right, that takes time and once we've done all of that, then we can pack it," Mr van Heerden said.
He said the problem would be in meeting the demand. "I've got to have enough out there so that everyone can get a jar." APNZ

Judge David Shaw of the International Trade Commission feels that corporate giant Microsoft is at fault with the Xbox 360 console for violating Motorola's intellectual property rights. He remarks that "enforcing" IP rights "outweighs any potential economic impact" on video game consumers. 4GB and 250GB models made in China should be banned from US import. Furthermore any Xbox 360 consoles already in the US should immediately be recalled to prevent them being sold, believes the ITC judge. Could the Xbox 360 get a US ban? It's a possibility but only if ITC commissioners were to agree with David Shaw's recommendation. Even then it's got to be presented to the White House for the President who is then given 60 days to arrive at a decision on how they wish to respond. Motorola claim the Xbox 360 infringes on 5 of their patents, and judge Shaw agrees. |

It shut down while I was in the middle of writing treatment plans or searching for a group topic or reading a blog. Just any time it damn well felt like it really. It would reboot itself but I lost work in the meantime. It did nothing to endear itself to me.
I dutifully called the HELP desk and they would "create a ticket" and then call me. I would describe the problem, "it's shutting down and rebooting in the middle of my work and oh, it sounds like there's a tiny dying moose inside the box".
That last part I'm sure got me an asterix by my name that says "she's a nutcase, just humor her". BUT, it did sound like a tiny moose was either in the throes of death or looking for a female tiny moose to mate with.
After several months of nice, young men (and it's ALWAYS young men) coming over and telling me that there's nothing wrong because the infernal machine worked quietly and perfectly for them, I was at the end of my rope. I was tired of being verbally patted on the head as if I had no idea of what I was talking about.
(I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I live with a computer geek who has built many machines and fixed many many more. You absorb some info through osmosis and I am naturally curious so I ask questions. I do know some stuff.)
I suspected something was wrong with one of the thermal sensors that shuts down the machine when something is too warm. And then Monday, one young man came and took the box away for "reimaging" because my Windows was probably "corrupt". He would not even consider my theory. "There is no hardware problem here."
I called the HELP desk again and told them not to close my ticket since the machine was out again. And I told them I know they probably have me down as a nutcase (which they denied) but I really hadn't done anything but try to look up appointments (and replace my wall paper with the photo of Pk in the plane).
Nice young man comes over and spends an hour running diagnostics over and over and finally opens the case and starts poking around. Lo and behold, the fan on the video card is not working (which causes it to duh, overheat and double duh, shut down). HARDWARE problem.
He tells me I need a new video card and he might have one. In the meantime, I can restart the computer as often as I need to and get some work done. He came back within a half hour and I have a new video card. A silently running video card (I might miss the moose).

January 22, 2014 – More than 400 members of Food Bank's network of emergency food programs braved the snow and cold to attend NYC's Conference on Hunger and Poverty at the New York Marriott Marquis for a day of learning and networking. The main message of the day was the need for anti-hunger agencies to focus on reducing the huge meal gap facing New York City in the wake of increased need and reduced federal assistance. Even with the robust support of nonprofits across the city, New Yorkers are missing more than 100 million meals each year.
Closing that gap will require not just food, but capacity building, education and advocacy, and increased collaboration among agencies to find and implement the best solutions. Food Bank For New York City rolled out this new strategy to conference participants, who also enjoyed a day full of workshops. Sessions covered a wide range of topics, from fundraising, cultivating volunteers and SNAP outreach, to marketing, community partnerships and the innovative effectiveness of "kaizen."
Highlights of the event included a luncheon featuring an inspiring keynote by Food Bank President and CEO Margarette Purvis, and award presentations to outstanding member agencies. A lively performance by Brooklyn-based band, Cumbiagra, closed out the day's celebration—the perfect ending to an exciting, information-packed event that left New York City's hunger-fighting community motivated to face for the challenges ahead.

Real Weddings Romantic
Novo Sarah Seven
Rustic Venue
Lavender Light Pink
Dusty Miller Rose
Can we just talk about this ceremony venue for a sec? Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm has a hold on me with it's vast fields of lavender as the backdrop. This place of beauty also happens to be not on the ceremony setting, but where this thoughtful Groom proposed to his lovely Bride. Swooning yet? There's even more in the gallery from Fotojojo!
From the beautiful Bride… Daylesford has always been our favourite weekend away destination and we always make a trip out to the beautiful gardens at Lavandula before heading home. Aaron, knowing my love for the gardens, decided this was the perfect location for a surprise birthday picnic, and romantically proposed on the background of some very vocal goats and geese. Naturally, we couldn't imagine a more beautiful or romantic place to exchange our vows.
We wanted everything about our wedding to be soft, romantic, and relaxed. We both fell in love with Sault the first time we dined there, and knew immediately it was the perfect location for our reception venue. Set against a backdrop of lavender fields and mountains, and overlooking its own lake, Sault is a delight for both the eyes and the tastebuds. Lit by candlelight and scattered with jars of pink and cream carnations and roses on the night, Sault definitely did not disappoint.
While there were so many beautiful moments on the day, Aaron and I both agree that the most magical was the moment we both laid eyes on one another for the first time. As I walked down the aisle our amazing band played "No Woman, No Cry' by Bob Marley, and I, along with everyone else there, was completely moved by Aaron's emotional reaction. It meant the world to me to witness Aaron express his love in such a public and uncensored way, and is a memory I will treasure forever.
From Fotojojo… Aaron and Mistral, and all their family and friends for that matter, were so full of love and emotion. The kind of love that you can't contain. It was simply beautiful. Mistral and Aaron embraced those feelings and wore their hearts on their sleeves, and everyone who was there to witness could feel how deep their love runs for one another.
You couldn't have asked for a better setting for an amazing couple than Lavandula Italian farm and Sault Restaurant surrounded by lavender and rolling hills. It was a day that will stick with me for a long time. I want to have that day all over again!

The Stacks – Nicholson Fire Co.
We continue our journey through the stacks and we come to envelope No. 554 – Nicholson Fire Co. Inside were these two images of the Nicholson Fire Company. Unfortunately the photos were not dated and there was no clipping to say when the images was taken or used in The Scranton Times. Trying to figure out the date, I took a closer look at the images and noticed that the American flag draped on the front of the fire house has 40 stars.
A 40 star United States Flag would have been made sometime between 1889 to 1890 to recognize the additional of North Dakota (our 39th State) and South Dakota (our 40th State). According to RareFlags.com, a 40 star U.S. Flag is a extremely rare item because it was thought that the Dakota's would have been admitted as one state giving us 39 states but two were create giving us 39 and 40. Then a few days later Montana was admitted as the 41st state. And a few days after that Washington was admitted as the 42nd state.
So at least we can say the image can not be older then 1889. If there is anyone out there that could narrow down the date let me know.

The average age on the shuttle is 48 and many suffer from presbyopia, meaning they need some sort of glasses to help 'em out. Enter Superfocus glasses. Advertisement In addition to looking like the glasses Harry Potter wears, Superfocus glasses have the ability to change their focus—fixing nearsightedness or farsightedness—by adjusting a slider.They are built using a set of front lenses to hold the wearer's distance prescription, while inner lenses contain a clear fluid. Moving a slider on the glasses' bridge adjusts this fluid, allowing people to focus on objects that are nearby or in the middle distance. Sure it might look goofy but they really work! Each astronaut has two and they're bringing some for the astronauts at the ISS too. [Space via UberGizmo]Reply52 repliesLeave a reply

I am new with SQL DATA Compare SDK 10. I am currently experencing this null exception during the call to SqlProvider/GetMigrationSQL. Here's the code excerpt,
Dim provider As SqlProvider
Dim block As ExecutionBlock
Dim str As String
provider = New SqlProvider()
'run the SQL on destination DB server
block = provider.GetMigrationSQL(session, True)
Catch ex As Exception
str = ex.ToString
End Try
The details of exception looks like that,
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at #8ZK.#j2K.#kOW(#x1K #Zds, ComparisonSession #RlYb, Boolean #hkl) at RedGate.SQLDataCompare.Engine.SqlProvider.#CbL(ComparisonSession #RlYb, Boolean #hkl) at RedGate.SQLDataCompare.Engine.SqlProvider.#DbL(ComparisonSession #RlYb, SelectionDelegate #UKPb, Boolean #hkl) at RedGate.SQLDataCompare.Engine.SqlProvider.GetMigrationSQL(ComparisonSession session, SelectionDelegate select, Boolean runOnTwo) at Thomas.MultiLang.DBSynchronizer.SyncDBData() in C:\\Projects\\Thomas\\Flex\\Thomas.Server\\Thomas.MultiLang\\Manager\\DBSynchronizer.vb:line 165"
Throught my online search, I got some sense that about two database tables schema may be different. So i used Redgate Sql compare Tool to compare the two DB and the result was that the two DB were identical.
Could you tell me where went wrong?

- - Practicing the Masterson Method anyone?
Practicing the Masterson Method anyone? I have been practicing (at home) the Masterson Method created by Jim Masterson, https://mastersonmethod.com/. When I first got the book Beyond Horse Massage, I was a little sceptic that any of those techniques qould work. They Do! I can't even believe it when I see it with my own eyes and do it with my own hands. Well anyway, my gelding respond really well to it, but my mare is much, much more guarded about where she is in pain or has tension built up. I was wondering if anyone may have some advise on how to get her to relax and open up to me enough to show me where she hurts. O my oldest gelding has a right leg injury but wont let me work that leg. However her does this pecular thing where he will but his other front leg in my hand but wont let me put it down without putting it back in my hand. He trys to do this with his hind feet do but I don't understand what he wants me to do with them one I have them . . . any advice? |

In addition to its traditional role on the Seder plate, this charoset is delicious as a condiment for duck or roast beef.
Leave a Review
Wow, this is just sooo delicious!! I added salt when the onions were cooking and I pureed it with an immersion blender before adding the pine nuts. I have never had charoset before and neither had my jewish fiance, so we had no pre-conceived notions of what charoset should taste like. He hates apples, so this was the only recipe that seemed like something we both would like. It was so yummy on matzoh and it also goes really well with a slice of gruyere on top or some blue cheese. I highly recommend!!!
An interesting taste - very different from what I except from charoset, though. More like a tzimmes.
Rich and savory! I didn't have figs; used prunes instead. Sooo good!

Part of the Columbia Icefield, the Athabasca Glacier is a major feature of the landscape almost at the junction of Jasper and Banff National Parks, Alberta, Canada, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
The glacier is approximately 6 km (3.75 miles) long, with an area of 6 km² (2.5 mi²), and is measured to be between 90 metres (270 ft) and 300 metres (1000 ft) thick. It is receding at a rate of 2 to 3 metres a year, and because of it's proximity to the Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff, it is the most visited glacier in North America.Looking carefully you can see the tiny figures of people clambering up the lower slopes, while in the centre of the photo there is a small rectangle which is actually a specially built "snow coach" which can take tourists most of the way up the lower tongue of the glacier.

Excellent, George. Been there several times too on holiday from Nanaimo.
Good morning David, glad you liked it. More memories..lol! Quite a place to just sit and contemplate how nature changes things over time.
The size of the people and the snow coach really put this into perspective, George. Pretty hard to visualize the immensity of the glacier otherwise. What a wonderful capture!
Thanks Mike, I had the same feeling..how do I really show the size of this? Then the coach came into sight and some people started trekking..I had to wait awhile but it did the trick. I have a couple more that I think do even a better job, Stay tuned..lol!
Beautiful scene George … we got snowed in just below the glacier back in 1999 and spent the night snug in our RV waiting for the snow plow … great memories♥
lol! Not sure if I'd classify that as a "great"memory, but I'm sure it was an interesting time. Having an RV was certainly preferable to being in an ordinary vehicle!
Thanks for the kind comment Bev, much appreciated!

One of the most beloved literary classics of the 20th century -- and rightfully so -- the 1985 novel Love in the Time of Cholera by the Colombian-born Gabriel García Márquez made its first cinematic appearance in 2001. In Peter Chelsom's Serendipity, it was the book in which the playful Sara (Kate Beckinsale) wrote her name and phone number, in the hopes that her would-be lover Jonathan (John Cusack) would find it. He spends years searching for it, flipping through every copy of the book that he can find. That movie doesn't have many fans, but I'm fond of it, and in a way, it's truer to the spirit of Márquez's novel than Mike Newell's more straightforward movie adaptation that opens in theaters this week. Whereas Chelsom's film attempted to capture the feel of the novel, Newell's film attempts nothing more than a translation.
That's a big problem right there. The novel was originally written in Spanish, and though the English translation is quite beautiful, it's still a translation. The new movie is filmed in English, so it's an adaptation of a translation. Then, we have a director from England, Mike Newell, who has absolutely no cultural connection to the Caribbean, where the story is set. Of course, no director could perfectly, accurately represent the novel on the screen, but it's possible to start from a slightly better vantage point. On top of that, the story takes place over fifty years, which in a novel is no problem. But in a movie it requires layers of age makeup, a process that, as movie technology gets better and better, seems to get worse and worse (imagine how awful this will look on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray six months from now). And, on an emotional level, stories that cover that kind of immense time span tend to leave out life's most innocuous, but telling and truthful, moments in favor of great plot lurches and story highlights. It becomes like a Reader's Digest "condensed novel."
Javier Bardem plays Florentino Ariza, the slightly awkward but practical young man who falls for Fermina Daza (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) and waits for her for over half a century. During that time, because of family conflicts, Fermina marries Dr. Juvenal Urbino (Benjamin Bratt). While Florentino waits for their nuptial ties to unravel either by death or divorce, he watches his fortunes grow and becomes a lover extraordinaire, so accomplished in bed that Hugh Hefner would tip his hat. Oddly, the movie chooses to cast another actor (Unax Ugalde) as the young Florentino, then slathers him in makeup to give him something closer to Bardem's blocky face; he looks like the Elephant Man. (How Fermina could fall for this beast in the early parts of the film is a mystery.) Meanwhile, Miss Mezzogiorno is expected to carry the entire fifty years all by herself, without the benefit of younger or older look-alikes. Both actors struggle with the age aspect; Bardem tries to act gawky and awkward while young, and in old age, both make various attempts to be creaky and stooped. None of it works, and the actors only appear vaguely comfortable during the middle section, and closer to their own real ages. (Mezzogiorno is 33 and Bardem is 38.)
Yet, in spite of all these layers of problems, the journeyman Newell gives the movie a very welcome light touch, as opposed to the severe, reverential approach that, say, Merchant-Ivory would have brought to such an important novel. After all, the story is slightly absurd and slightly magical, and Newell seems to understand that (perhaps it helps that he just came off of a Harry Potter movie). He keeps it sunny and a bit goofy: in one sequence, working as a letter-reader and letter-writer for the illiterate peasants, Florentino serves a man and a woman in love with one another and winds up writing letters to himself! In another, when Dr. Urbino unexpectedly pays a call, Florentino attempts to keep his cool, but allows himself a few seconds of panic while searching through a drawer. Aside from the makeup troubles, Bardem manages to keep a wry smile behind his line readings, as if he were amused by the whole charade. He grows more and more comfortable with his seductions, and his ease and confidence rubs off on us. Likewise, the casting of the slightly loony John Leguizamo as Fermina's father and the easygoing Bratt as Fermina's lawful husband makes the movie more relaxed and lively. However, these small points are only an oasis in a sea of troubles. Marquez's work is huge, passionate, amazing and magical, and it's difficult for movies to capture all that without resorting to spectacle or bombast. Newell gets points for approaching it with calmness and confidence, but I suspect that the true man for the job should have been Alfonso Cuaron (another Harry Potter vet), whose collective films embody broad humor, erotic passion and magical realism as well as a beautiful intimacy. As with Serendipity, Cuaron might have found a device to get closer to the essence of Florentino and Fermina without letting all that makeup get in the way.

Specialists Michael Cacace, left, and Donald Civitanova work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Monday, Aug. 29, 2011. Stocks rose broadly Monday, led by insurance companies, after it became clear that the tropical storm caused far less damage than many had feared. The Dow Jones industrial average gained more than 250 points.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
NEW YORK — So much for Irene.
Stocks rose broadly Monday, led by insurance companies, after it became clear that the tropical storm caused far less damage than many had feared. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 254 points.
Trading volume, or the number of shares bought and sold, was the lowest since July 26 as many traders struggled to get to work in Lower Manhattan or were still on vacation.
Insurance stocks rose sharply as analysts lowered their estimates of how much damage the storm would cause. Allstate Corp. rose 8.5 percent, Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. rose 13 percent, and Travelers Cos. Inc. rose 5.1 percent. Insurance and banking stocks in the Standard&Poor's 500 rose 4.2 percent, the most of the 10 company groups that make up the index.
Kinetic Analysis Corp., a consulting firm, sharply lowered its estimate of storm damage from $20 billion late Thursday to $7 billion late Sunday as the storm weakened. Of that amount, insurers would probably have to cover up to $3 billion, Kinetic said. That's less than the $6 billion the industry paid out after Hurricane Isabel struck the region in 2003.
"The U.S. came more or less unscathed through the hurricane," said Kim Caughey Forrest, equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. "The cleanup isn't going to cost as much as anticipated."
Utilities companies also rose after it became clear their storm-related expenses would be lower than earlier estimates. Duke Energy Corp., which serves customers in the Carolinas, rose 1.1 percent. New York's biggest utility company, Consolidated Edison Inc., rose 1.3 percent.
The New York Stock Exchange and other major U.S. exchanges opened as usual Monday after making extensive preparations over the weekend. At the NYSE, executives brought in dozens of cots so employees could sleep there to be ready for the opening bell.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 254.71 points, or 2.3 percent, to close at 11,539.25. It is now down just 0.3 percent for the year. It had been down as much as 7.4 percent for the year on Aug. 10.
The Standard&Poor's 500 index rose 33.28 points, or 2.8 percent, to 1,210.08. The widely used market benchmark has now gained back all of the ground it lost since hitting a 2011 low on Aug. 8, after Standard&Poor's downgraded the U.S. government's credit rating. Since then, it has risen 8.1 percent.
The technology-focused Nasdaq composite index rose 82.26, or 3.3 percent, to 2,562.11.
The Russell 2000 index, a benchmark for small companies, rose 32.86 points, or 4.7 percent, to 724.65. That suggested investors were more willing to take on risk. Small company stocks are more likely to fall in economic downturns, but they also offer the potential of larger gains if the economy does well. The Russell is still down 7.5 percent this year, nearly twice as much as the S&P 500.
Bank of America Corp. rose 8.1 percent, the most of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow average, after the bank said it would sell half of its stake in China Construction Bank Corp. The bank has been selling assets to raise cash to comply with new banking regulations.
Last week billionaire Warren Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway Inc. said it would invest $5 billion in the bank, giving the troubled company a badly needed boost of confidence. The nation's largest bank has lost 34 percent of its value over the past year as investors worry that its liabilities from soured mortgages will get worse and that it will have to sell large amounts of stock to raise capital.
An increase in consumer spending also helped push stocks higher. The government reported that spending rose 0.8 percent in July. It was a sharp turnaround from June, when Americans spent less for the first time in nearly two years.

Frequently Asked Questions
ARMS/Accelerator Operators Related
Medical Concerns
ARMS/ Accelerator Operators Related
Q: When does a safety checklist have to be initiated?
A: A Safety checklist should be performed for CEBAF or the FEL if the accelerator in question has been shutdown in excess of 24 hours. The purpose of the conduct of this checklist is to ensure that no barriers to personnel safety have been compromised, or left in an unsafe condition as a result of system maintenance.
Q: The Beam Loss Ion Chambers have a problem. What do I do?
A: Call the person responsible for troubleshooting the "new" system, either Dave Seidman at 7054 or Rick Gonzales at 7198.
Q: Where do I get more survey sheets for performing surveys in the Halls, CEBAF or FEL?
A: Copies of current survey maps are kept on the RadCon webpage on the ARMS Information webpage.
Q: I'm an FEL ARM, what can I do concerning posting or de-posting of the FEL?
A: See the FEL Quick Access (QAS) conditions
Q: Can an ARM de-post a radiation area?
A: Yes. Assuming you can conduct a survey thorough enough to verify the absence of the condition. But it may be more efficient in many cases to leave it posted if you have reason to believe the condition will reappear shortly.
Q: Can an ARM de-post high radiation areas?
A: No. This is mainly a matter of consistency. Since ARMs are not allowed to routinely post HRAs, they should not de-post them either.
Q: Can an ARM conduct the beamline surveys necessary in Hall B and FEL in the event hands-on beamline work is to be conducted during a controlled access (during a "Rapid Access" entry)?
A: Yes. There is no reason an ARM can't assess these work areas. The same limitations as normal apply - if a radiation area or hot spot is found, the same triggers apply.
Q: Can an ARM conduct the area survey needed if the Rapid Access system beacon is on in hall B or FEL?
A: Yes.
Q: Do I need a dosimeter to enter a controlled area?
A: You do NOT need a dosimeter to enter a Controlled Area. You only need GERT training or a GERT trained escort to enter. A Controlled Area basically means an area within which you are likely to find a Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) such as a Radiation Area or High Radiation Area, which would require a dosimeter. Thusly you need to know what those postings mean.
Q: Why do I have to keep my dosimeter at work? We could take dosimeters home at the other lab I worked at.
A: Although it is appealing to follow the mistakes of less safety conscious labs, the DOE RadCon Manual forbade DOE Labs established after 1992 from establishing a dosimetry program that allowed use of dosimeters off DOE premises. The reason for this is twofold. One, if a dosimeter is kept at home, the background level at your home may be slightly different than that at Jlab. Because there is no control badge at your home to subtract that background (as opposed to Jlab where control dosimeters are located in each badge rack), your dosimeter reading with Jlab subtracted background may be false. Two, it is apparent from years of experience that labs that allow dosimeters to go offsite have a higher dosimeter loss rate, which leads to more dose investigations, which are costly, time consuming, and very rough estimates of actual dose received.
Q: I need Radiation Safety Analysis Document (RSAD), what information do I need to provide?
A: This information is found in the RSAD information page In addition to that information, information on NON-STANDARD POST TARGET BEAM PIPE MUST BE SUBMITTED as this significantly alters the quantity of beam loss, and subsequent neutron skyshine which dominates the site boundary radiation dose.
Q: I'm planning to do some work, but I'm not sure if it needs a Radiation Work Permit. Are there any guidelines? How do I initiate the process?
A: The full guidelines are contained in sections 321 through 325 of the EH&S Manual Radcon Supplement (RadCon Manual). An RWP is required for performing work in a 25 mrem/hr area, for work that will result in 25 mrem cumulative dose or more, working with material greater than 250 mrem/hr on contact, contaminated items, unless process knowledge from a RadCon member indicates an RWP is not necessary (e.g., adjusting a valve for 30 seconds in a 30 mrem/hr area after consultation with a RadCon member.) In the Accelerator Division, all work to be performed should have an ATLis entry completed. If any of the aforementioned radiological conditions may exist (or have the potential for existing, you should ensure RadCon is notified by including RadCon on the distribution. If you have any questions, call David Hamlette at 876-1743 or Vashek Vylet at 218-2733. Please fill out the appropriate information and forward it to David Hamlette at firstname.lastname@example.com at least one week in advance of the planned work. DO NOT EXPECT ANY RADCON SUPPORT IF SCOPE OF THE WORK IS NOT PROVIDED TO RADCON AT LEAST 8 HOURS IN ADVANCE.
Q: I am running an experiment in one of the experimental halls that utilizes He-3. Are there any special concerns, or anything I have to do?
A: He-3, by nature of its production, is susceptible to inherent H-3 (tritium) contamination. Tritium is readily dispersible throughout air and water, and is also a closely tracked radioisotope of concern on several of JLAB's environmental permits. Because a He-3 gas release in an experimental hall may result in release of tritium, this tritium may be released directly to the environment through the air, or indirectly through condensation in the dehumidification equipment, and subsequent discharge through sanitary sewage disposal to HRSD. In order to ensure that no environmental permit limits are exceeded for tritium, the EH&S Manual Radcon Supplement states in Table 2-2 that no more than 10 mCi of Tritium contamination may be in He-3 in any Hall without the consent of the RadCon Manager. All He-3 purchases must be approved by the RadCon Department through the requisition process as stated in section 432 of the EH&S Manual Radcon Supplement. All He-3 bottles brought by users must either be sampled for tritium, or have the tritium quantity ascertained via determination of the pedigree by the RadCon Department.
Q: Where are the RadCon related Tech Notes?
A: Technical Notes related to Radiation Control subjects, as well as equipment abandoned by Accelerator, Administrative and Physics Divisions (i.e., Beam Dumps, and Experimental Hall Machine Protection Systems) are located in the RadCon Technical note section.
Q: Where are the Beam Dump/Beam Exit Pipe related Tech Notes?
A: These Tech Notes are located within the Radiation Control Department webpage in the RadCon Technical note section.
Q: Where do I get information on my lifetime dose?
A: Dose records for all individuals issued dosimetry are available at the RCD Trailer (52B). Call Becky Mosbrucker at 269-7236 or email at email@example.com for specific requests for dose history. Lifetime dose history from previous employers may be on hand, depending on the level of cooperation of individual previous employers in transmitting previous dose history.
Q: How do I get to schedule a radiation survey to remove material from the tunnel enclosure?
A: RCTs will perform RAM surveys for removing items from accelerator enclosures twice a day (morning and afternoon) provided the items are in a known staging area. If you need substantial equipment surveyed, or at a particular time, notify the RCT Coordinator at 876-1743. NOTE THAT IF ARRANGEMENTS ARE NOT MADE WITH THE RCT COORDINATOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE, THE ITEMS IN QUESTION MAY NOT BE SURVEYED DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS.
Q: I need a radioactive source to perform an experiment. How to I purchase one? Are there available radioactive sources onsite for use?
A: The RCD has a number of radioisotopes in it possession that can be checked out. To get a list of what is available, contact Adam Hartberger at 269-7463 or email him at email@example.com. If the type and quantity of radioisotope is not available, you can order one through the requisition system. You will be queried as to whether the ordered item is a radioactive material. When you answer 'yes', the requisition will be automatically transferred to the RadCon Department cue for approval.
Q: Where do I find information on boundary dose, radioactive air emissions, groundwater and other tracked parameters for Jefferson Lab?
A: The annual information is contained in the Section 3 of the Jefferson Lab Site Environmental Report. Additionally, the annual "Environmental Radiation Resulting from the Experimental Program at JLAB" is located at:M:Radcon/quarterly reports/ etc.
Q: How does our collective dose compare with other DOE Labs?
A: Our collective dose is fairly low, especially considering the average annual background dose is on the order of 280-300 mrem.. Comparison of DOE Lab annual collective dose is available on Radiation Exposure Monitoring (REMS) homepage.
Q: What is the basis for JLAB's radiation safety regulations?
A: The base documentation for all DOE Occupational Radiation Protection regulations is contained in 10 CFR 835. Jefferson Lab adheres to a number of other applicable environmental regulations and permits; however 10 CFR 835 provides the "backbone" or framework from which the overall Jefferson Lab Radiation Protection Plan is based.
Q: I have a radiation safety concern that I would like to report. What should I do?
A: You are encouraged to contact the Radiation Control Manager directly at 269-7551 or his cellphone at 218-2733. Your concern will be held strictly confidential. Additionally, depending on the severity of the situation, a Radiation Safety Deviation Report (RSDR) or Notable Event Report (NER) may be filled out, with corresponding corrective actions to rectify the situation.
Q: Is there any means by which I can formally request an answer to a radiological condition I believe is unsatisfactory, or pose a recommendation?
A: The Jefferson Lab Radiation Review Panel (JRRP) exists to provide input and advice to the Radiation Control Manager. The charter is contained in Chapter 2240 of the EH&S Manual. The JRRP is responsible for:
Reviewing the Jefferson Lab ALARA ( As-Low-As- Reasonably- Achievable) Program activities and reports.
Conducting critiques on deficiencies and proficiencies in radiological control activities.
Reviewing plans for first-time or infrequent activities and changes of scope.
Reviewing recommendations from the Radiation Control Department.
Making recommendations to senior management and to those responsible for conducting the actual programs regarding the above reviews.
Minutes of meetings are available at minutes of meetings.
Medical Concerns
Q: I'm pregnant. What should I do regarding radiation work? Is there any information I can read regarding possible risks to the embryo/fetus? Are there any forms to fill out?
A: Contact Becky Mosbrucker at the RCD at 269-7236 or email at email@example.com. You will fill out a Declaration of Pregnancy Form, and give you some guidance concerning radiation risks to the embryo/fetus. You will have the option of having your radiation worker qualifications temporarily suspended, having your dosimeter read monthly, or wearing 2 dosimeters as delineated in the Fetal Monitoring Selection Form If you have further concerns, you can talk to the RCD Head at 269-7551.
Q: I previously filled out a "Declaration of Pregnancy Form" and filed it with the Radiation Control Department, but I changed my mind. Can I "undeclare" a pregnancy?
A: Yes, you can withdraw your "declaration of pregnancy" by filling out a Withdrawal of Pregnancy Declaration Form, and submitting it to Becky Mosbrucker at 269-7236.
Q: I had a nuclear medicine procedure involving radionuclides (e.g., Tc-99, I-129, I-131, Tl-201), what type of dose did I receive?
A: This website nuclear medicine website can give you a general idea of the radiation dose you may have received. General disclaimer: Jefferson Lab does not control the referenced website, and the website should only be used as a ballpark estimate. Also, this NRC website has additional information on estimating radiation doses.
Q: I've had a nuclear medicine procedure (i.e., been injected with a radiopharmeceutical/radioisotope). Can I still come to work?
A: Yes, by all means, you are allowed to come to work (unless specifically instructed otherwise by a physician). You are not required to divulge any information of your procedure to anyone at Jefferson Lab. That being said, in order to keep an accurate record of occupational dose for you and your co-workers, the RCD requests that you provide information to the RCG of the radioisotope, quantity, and the day of the injection. This information can be provided by filling out and submitting the Declaration of Radiopharmaceutical Patient Form and returning the form to Becky Mosbrucker (269-7236) This information will remain strictly confidential. Additionally, (if at all possible), you should refrain from performing work in RCAs, and refrain from wearing your dosimeter until the radioisotope has effectively been cleared from your system. (The Radiation Control Manager can help you determine that assessment.)
The reason for the interest in this information is that the annual collective dose for all of Jefferson Lab is on the order of 1000 mrem, and a person who wears a dosimeter soon after a nuclear medicine procedure can (depending on the radioisotope and quantity, and wear the dosimeter is placed relative to the organ of interest) easily exceed a dose of 50 mrem. Such a dosimeter reading would and has triggered a dose investigation in order to ascertain how that dose could occur through work conditions.
Q: I lost my dosimeter. What do I do?
A: Contact Becky Mosbrucker at 269-7236 or email at email@example.com in order to complete an Investigation Report and receive a temporary dosimeter. NOTE: If your original dosimeter is found, please return it to Becky in Trailer 52B. Information will need to be collected from you to ensure that your radiation dose records accurately reflect the radiation dose that was received.
Q: Is there a way to get a dosimeter rack for my building or to change an existing location within a building?
A: If you have a group of 20 or more people who are in agreement with the proposed rack change, present the request to Becky Mosbrucker at 269-7236 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: I want to have my dosimeter in a different rack. What do I do?
A: Contact Becky Mosbrucker at 269-7236 or email at email@example.com. She will initiate the transfer of your badge storage location.
Q: Where is the proper placement of my dosimeter?
A: Generally speaking, attached to an article of clothing on the "whole body" (on the torso to the elbows and knees). The key is that the dosimeter is firmly attached (and not dangling from a CANS badge lanyard.) Most recommended: in the chest region.
Q: Why can't I attach a dosimeter to my CANS badge lanyard? That way, when I take it home, I don't forget it.
A: The nature of the dosimeter as an albedo neutron dosimeter necessitates the use of the human body as an integral part of the dosimeter. Wearing the dosimeter "away" from the body causes the dosimeter to not function as intended for neutron measurement, and give false low readings. Dosimeters are not to be taken home, and MUST be stored in the storage racks. See Section 512.5 of the EH&S Manual RadCon Supplement.
Q: I just completed the GERT and/or Radiation Worker I test, when will I have access onsite? When will JLIST be updated?
A: JLIST is updated periodically (twice a day). You may not have unescorted access until JLIST is updated.
Q: Although I am a regular employee, can I take the Radiation Worker I test at the User Liaison's Office?
A: If it is more convenient, and the User Liaison's Office approves, this is acceptable. You may also take the RWI test with the receptionist at the Support Service Center.
Q: Can I take a written test for Radiation Worker I training?
A: Yes, we have written tests for those who prefer that method. Please call ext. 6021 to schedule a time to take a written test. As a reminder, you are required to view the on-line study information or read the on-line study guide before you may take the RWI test. You can also take initial Radiation Worker training, which is offered in a classroom style, every quarter. A schedule can be located at the training office website located at: http://www.jlab.org/div_dept/train/. If you have any questions, please contact Maya Keller at email@example.com or call her at ext. 6021.
Q: What are the prerequisites to Radiation Worker II testing/class?
A: The prerequisites are successful completion of Radiation Worker I training, and approval from your supervisor. The study guide which you need to review before taking the RWII test is located at: RWII.pdf. Or you may view the on-line study information at: http://www.jlab.org/div_dept/train/.
Q: Can I take the Radiation Worker II test without attending a class?
A: No, because the radiation worker II class is designed for teaching people how to work in potentially contaminated areas and/or with potentially contaminated items, a portion of the class is dedicated on proper techniques to use for dressing in and out of anti-contamination clothing. This information cannot be adequately conveyed through a written test.
Q: Where can I sign up for the RadiationWorker II class?
A: You can call 6021 or send an e-mail to email@example.com. When there is a group of at least 5 individuals, a class will be scheduled. Classes usually occur twice a year.
Q: When is the next Radworker I class? When is the next Radworker II class?
A: You must study the on-line study guide at Online Radiation Worker l before taking either test. If classroom instruction is desired, the upcoming schedule is listed on the http://www.jlab.org/div_dept/train/. The Radiation Worker II class must be taken "live". You may contact Maya Keller at firstname.lastname@example.com or call her at ext. 6021 to find out when the next RWII class is available.
Q: Is there a shorter radworker refresher class online?
A: An online version of Radiation Worker I is available. Note that you can take the RWI test at three different locations. You may come to the RadCon Trailer, 52B, JLAB Registration/International Services in Support Service Center Bldg. 28, or User Liaison Office in Cebaf Center Bldg. 12.
Q: What are the Radiation Worker training requirements for Users?
A: Radiation Worker training requirements are listed on the User Liaison page. The Physics Division management has decided that Radiation Worker I training is required to access the accelerator site. If you believe you have no reason to access Radiologically Controlled Areas (e.g., you will only be accessing the "Counting House"), you may only need General Employee Radiation Training (GERT) which may be taken online at: http://www.jlab.org/div_dept/train/online_courses/gert_04/start.html Note that this training requires no proctored exam or practical factors. If this seems to be a more palatable option for your situation, please contact your sponsor.
Q: I'm a user preparing to come onsite. How long will it take to get my Radiation Worker I qualification?
A: You can prepare for the test by watching the Computer Based Training. You must then either take a proctored computer exam either at the RadCon Trailer, 52b, JLAB Registration/International Services Office in Support Service Center Bldg. 28, or User Liaison Office in Cebaf Center Bldg. 12. You must then take a practical factors exam after the computer test. You must schedule this exam at least 24 hours in advance. It is possible to complete your RadWorker I qualifications in one day provided that you schedule your practical factors 24 hours in advance by calling (757)269-6021 or email email@example.com. Also, if you need dosimetry, our on-line dosimetry request system can be accessed by using the following link: https://www1.jlab.org/mis/ehs/tlds/openNewDosimeterform.cfm. If you need help with this system, please contact Becky Mosbrucker at email@example.com or 757-269-7236.

A shocking poll indicates that one third of americans would undergo an invasive "body cavity search" in order to fly.
This is unreal.
I'm not sure the "body cavity search" was defined in the poll, but c'mon, where is the line drawn for some (specifically 2059) people?
Here is the specific question asked during the poll conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of info wars.
"Given the recent reports concerning the threat posed by terrorists who plan to implant bombs within their own bodies, how willing, if at all, would you be to undergo a TSA body cavity search in order to fly?"
What do you think? Would you subject yourself to that just in order to fly?
Probably not, but what if double or triple EQMs were on the table :)?

SACRAMENTO (AP) — The leaders of both legislative houses on Tuesday scheduled votes on California Gov. Jerry Brown's budget proposal, even though no Republicans have come forward to promise the votes necessary for approval.
The state Senate and Assembly are scheduled to meet early Wednesday afternoon for floor votes on closing California's $26.6 billion deficit.
The Democratic governor wants to balance $12.5 billion in spending cuts with a five-year extension of temporary increases in the sales, personal income and vehicle taxes first enacted two years ago. He has asked the Legislature to call a special election in June to allow voters to decide the tax question.
The package that both chambers will consider largely echoes Brown's vision, except for what Democratic lawmakers viewed as the most extreme cuts.
Republican legislators have refused to let the tax vote move forward and face increasing pressure to stick to the party line. Brown said he is particularly troubled by a conservative faction within the California Republican Party that wants to label as a traitor any lawmaker who votes for the governor's plan.
"Unfortunately, now the more extreme elements of the Republican Party are about to brand any Republican legislator a terrorist and some evil being if they give the people the right to vote," Brown told reporters Tuesday before a luncheon speech to state probation officers. "And if it comes to a situation in America where letting the people vote becomes an act of terrorism, we're in a very serious situation when a major party thinks that way."
The state GOP is scheduled to meet this weekend in Sacramento for its spring convention. Republican lawmakers who might be inclined to compromise on the budget are reluctant to do so ahead of the convention, where they would be ostracized by party leaders and die-hard conservatives.
Two Republicans are needed in the Assembly and Senate to reach the two-thirds vote threshold required to place the tax question before voters. Although no GOP lawmakers have said they will support the ballot measure, five in the Senate have been negotiating with Brown.
Republicans argue that extending the tax increases enacted two years ago would cripple the state as it struggles to recover from the recession.
"Our members believe taxes would further damage our economy, and instead we're looking at reforms that would fix our chronic budget problems," said Sabrina Lockhart, spokeswoman for Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway.
The state Department of Finance estimates the tax hikes have cost Californians $260 a year on a per-capita basis. The increase in the personal income tax alone costs $125 to an individual earning $40,000 a year, or $320 to couples who make $100,000 a year and file their taxes jointly.
Brown said his June ballot proposal is a question not just about tax extensions but about how constituents want him to proceed with the budget.
"I'm perfectly willing, if the people say no, that I'll go through and I think I will have the vote of the people with the cuts that have to be made," he said. "That's why I say that the vote is important, not for taxes only, but for cuts."
Most Republican lawmakers have signed a national anti-tax pledge pushed by the Washington, D.C.-based group Americans for Tax Reform. Many also have joined a new group called the Taxpayer Caucus to oppose a tax extension.
The group of Republican senators, referred to in the Capitol as the GOP 5, did not join the Taxpayer Caucus and seemed to be Democrats' best hope of reaching a budget deal in at least one house. But negotiations stalled over the weekend, with Republicans saying they did not get the reforms they wanted.
The Republicans have called for implementing a state spending cap, freezing pension benefits for current state and local government workers, and reducing regulations for businesses. The lawmakers issued a joint statement Tuesday saying they remain united and will continue advocating for their agenda.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Dutton, R-Rancho Cucamonga, disputed the Democrats' contention that their budget plan was balanced. He said extending the two-year-old tax increases for another five years would raise an estimated $50 billion in new revenue during that time and the plan does nothing to solve the state's long-term fiscal imbalance.
"It is just another short-sighted tax-and-spend scheme that relies on a $50 billion bailout from California taxpayers," he said in a statement.
Still, Democrats are pushing ahead with a budget vote.
"Who says we don't have Republican support?" said Shannon Murphy, spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles. "We'll take it as it comes. I'm not going to second guess what people are going to do or not do under hypotheticals."
Mark Hedlund, a spokesman for Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, also left open the possibility that Republicans could be brought into the fold.
Hedlund said floor debates need to begin so each party could see where the other stands.
Time is running short for the Legislature to pass a budget that includes a special election.
Brown wants the election held June 7 to coincide with local elections in many California cities. That also would provide enough time to prepare for the planned expiration of some of the tax hikes on July 1, but it's not clear when the Legislature has to pass the budget to make that happen.
It missed Brown's self-imposed deadline last Thursday.

I think the LA7000 are very musical, involving and enjoyable like my custom IEM; but all of the custom IEM are faster/more detailed, more transparent/open sounding, and isolate better. The LA7000 and custom IEM are all better than a stock or modded D2000/D5000.
I don't want to ruin my 3-way customs review, but I'll say a little something here. The UE11Pro sound signature is similar to an unmodded D7000 but with better speed, detail, openness and extended treble. The JH13Pro sound signature is more similar to the LA7000 in tonal balance, but also faster and more detailed and open, with better bass and mids than the LA7000. And the ES3X are more like an HD800 in tonal balance, detail and speed but seem a little smoother in the highs. These three IEM have a fantastic soundstage but they place the listener at different distances from the performance and have varying degrees of headstage vs soundstage - it's hard to compare those to a full size headphone where the HD800 has the best soundstage, followed by the R10 and then the LA7000. |
Although I never had experience with any high-end headhphones, I am hoping to hear some of those mentioned headphones, including JH13Pro demo at upcoming local meet. Your reviews and my experience at the meet will definitely help me choosing my next headphone/IEM (although I almost made up my mind at this point). Anyway, thanks for your response!

Hotel official: Fidel Castro appears in public
HAVANA — Fidel Castro has appeared in public for the first time in months, a top hotel executive told The Associated Press on Sunday, challenging persistent rumors that the aging revolutionary is near death.
The 86-year-old retired leader dropped off a Venezuelan guest at the Hotel Nacional on Saturday afternoon, then stayed to chat with hotel staff, commercial director Yamila Fuster said.
"Fidel Castro was here yesterday, he brought a guest and spoke to workers and hotel leaders for 30 minutes," Fuster said. She said she was not present but that the news was being released officially by the state-owned establishment.
"They told me he looked very good. He was wearing a checked shirt and a hat," she said.
Fuster would not release the name of the Venezuelan guest, but witnesses at the hotel say former Venezuelan Vice President Elias Jaua is staying there. A car with Venezuelan diplomatic plates was parked Sunday outside the hotel, and Cuban officials were seen carrying a photo album similar to ones the government gives as gifts to distinguished guests, normally filled with official pictures.
No photos have yet been released of Fidel's visit, but Fuster said they may be soon.
Asked to confirm the news, the Cuban government referred all questions to the hotel.
The Nacional is Cuba's most famous hotel and a common choice of many distinguished guests to the island.
Castro's health has been the subject of intense speculation for years, but the rumors gained force in recent days after he failed to publicly congratulate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a top ally, on his Oct. 7 electoral victory. The former Cuban leader has not appeared since March, when he was shown greeting visiting Pope Benedict XVI, and he has also ceased writing his once-constant opinion pieces, the last of which appeared in June.
Twitter and other social media sites have been abuzz with claims of Castro's demise. Late last week, a Venezuelan doctor purported to have information that Castro had suffered a stroke, but the same doctor has previously claimed knowledge that turned out to be false.
Sunday's news from the Hotel Nacional appeared to be Cuba's attempt to hit back against what it says are false and malicious rumors. A letter attributed to Castro was published Thursday by Cuban state media. In it, he congratulated graduates of a medical school on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.
Two close family members of Castro have also recently denied he is in grave condition. Juanita Castro, the former leader's sister, told the AP in Miami that reports of her brother's condition are "pure rumors" and "absurd."
Son Alex Castro told a reporter for a weekly Cuban newspaper that his father "is well, going about his daily life."
Castro stepped down in 2006 following a severe illness, handing power to his brother Raul.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Joel A. Rosenthal, better known by his initials JAR, has created a line of jewelry specifically for the retrospective of his work at the that are available for purchase.
The exhibition, 'Jewels By JAR,' opens Wednesday at the museum and runs till March 9, 2014.
The pieces available for purchase include earrings made of resin, 18k over aluminum, titanium and Venetian glass ranging in price from $2,000 to $7,500. There are two watches designed for the event that cost $600 each. These creations will be available exclusively at the museum's special exhibition and mezzanine gallery shops through the close of the exhibition. These are not limited edition pieces but they are numbered. The items will not be available on the museum website.
The exhibition will be the first retrospective in the United States of JAR's work and the first retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum devoted to a contemporary artist of gems. It is only the second time his pieces are available to be seen at an exhibition, with the first being in London in 2002.
Born in New York and educated at Harvard, Rosenthal moved to Paris soon after graduation and began to experiment with jewelry making. He opened JAR in 1978 on the Place Vendôme, in the same space he occupies today.
"JAR jewels became known for their unique design, the exquisite quality of the gemstones, and their remarkable craftsmanship—but above all for their fearless beauty," the museum said in a statement. "Rosenthal's one-of-a-kind creations place him among the ranks of history's greatest jewelers."
The exhibition of 400 works, mostly from private collections, represents the 35 years that Rosenthal has been creating jewelry under the JAR name.

Herbert von Karajan: A Biographical Portrait
In 1981 Robert Vaughan went to Saint-Tropez to write an article about the Helisara, a new sailing boat in the largest class admitted for racing under international offshore rules. The article was for The Yacht; Vaughan is its editor. He had taken part in the disastrous 1979 Fastnet race during which several competitors were drowned, and had written a book about it. The book was admired by Herbert von Karajan, who owns the Helisara. He took a shine to Vaughan and asked him to write his biography. The choice seems less bizarre than it might when you discover, in the course of the book, that Karajan's esteem—a commodity in very short supply—is reserved for experts: scientists, technicians, sportsmen, sometimes even musicians if they really know their stuff and perform well.
The Helisara has a red stripe painted on her hull: "It had to be just right," Karajan explained to Vaughan. "The object was to make the boat look even bigger and more fearsome than it is." Perhaps he hoped Vaughan would do the same for him. In a way he has: you sense how he was bowled over by Karajan's phenomenal willpower, concentration, dedication to his music, courage in the face of painful ailments and injuries; by his hard work, flair, command, and, of course, his talent. He was bowled over but not blinded. This portrait has more than warts; it has a dark side.
The qualities Vaughan admired equally impressed Helena Matheopoulos when she wrote the chapter on Karajan in her collection of conductors' profiles Maestro, published by Harper and Row in 1983, but not mentioned in Vaughan's bibliography. What Karajan said to her about his approach to music is exactly what he said to Vaughan: you can tell, therefore, that he was not giving spontaneous answers to his interviewers, but making thought-out statements. He explains how painstaking preparation and concentration on technique eventually lead to rightness—a unique rapport between conductor, orchestra, and the work they play. Karajan is a student of yoga and Zen and equates this rapport with mystical breakthrough. He is a very articulate man, and his accounts of what he does to make the breakthrough happen are precise—neither woolly nor cloudy. All the same, what takes place at the moment critique remains elusive. Only anecdotes can illustrate it, and Karajan recognizes this by telling one about a Zen disciple who concentrated on a buffalo until he could not get out of the room he was in because his horns wouldn't go through the door.
From 1982 to 1984 Vaughan followed Karajan from New York to Salzburg, Vienna, Saint-Moritz, and Saint-Tropez (Karajan has houses in the last four), and watched him pursue the moment of perfection in rehearsal, concert, recording session, and film studio. His accounts are vivid, full of technical information and lively sketches of artists (especially Agnes Baltsa) and of Karajan's sizable entourage.…
