W 7 64-bit Ultimate
Hello Xisuma.
The best thing if you are able is to disconnect all Hard Disk Drives (HDD) except the one you intend to install to and all other peripherals, i.e. printers and such like, then after the install and all is booting good, power down and reconnect everything as usual and install any needed drivers.
Be sure to post back with any further questions and to keep us updated.
Also have a look at the info below.

Perhaps you should explain a bit more your unusual setup plan with programs on separate HD.
It is not recommended to put programs on a separate partition from Win7 as programs write keys to the registry that integrate them to the OS until uninstalled.
A better method is to place your User folders on separate partition, or separate HD to benefit from another reader. User Folders - Change Default Location
This also makes your WIn7 backup image smaller so you can reimage just the OS to it's partition if necessary and your files are all in place, current, ready to go.

I make music on my computer. So i have music software and VSTs on the E:\ drive and windows and normal programs on the C:\ , It seemed like a good idea to seperate them, and now i can't undo this because all my songs need the file structure on the E:\ to locate settings, vst and samples etc..

You will need to reinstall the programs anyway, so I would take this opporunity to correctly install them on the same C; drive as OS.
You can keep your data files on the separate drive to see if they are correctly referenced by the programs, linking them to correct User folders by the method in User Folders - Change Default Location tutorial, or by rightclicking on file/folder to include in the relevant library.
In Win7, Documents for example is a User folder which can be placed on the drive you want using tutorial, and is also a Library which can include any file/folder simply by rightclicking to Add to Library.
This will become more evident after you reinstall and setup. But you will not be able to keep programs already on the separate HD as programs always need to be reinstalled.

Best tips have already been given; for re-installation use the following tutorial:
SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation - Windows 7 Forums
When creating your OS partition give yourself plenty of room if your planning on installing a lot of music application. (Checkout Reminder) Nothing less than 200GB and you should be fine.
For creating your DATA partition, look at these two tutorials.
Data Partition - Windows 7 Forums and the User Folders - Change Default Location.
At minimum you should have at least these two partitions and one more for system image backups, preferably to a secondary drive.
Post installation!
Before installing Windows updates, antivirus and your applications, create a system image, even before activation. I prefer using Macrium Reflect but the choice is yours.
How to Create a System Image in Windows 7 - How-To Geek
Macrium Reflect is a Free and Easy To Use Backup Utility - How-To Geek
Just a reminder!
Windows 7 is not like Windows XP. It 100% user ready post installation. So, there's no need for useless applications that do more harm than good. Keep it clean and simple and you shall find Windows 7 to be the best EVER!
Good Luck,

This course provides an introduction to the culture of the Eastern Slavs from the ninth century until the seventeenth and also looks at the continued employment of elements drawn from that culture in post-enlightenment Russia. It requires no special historical or linguistic knowledge and is intended to be of interest to anyone curious about medieval and early-modern culture. While the primary emphasis will be on Old Russian literature, the course will also examine art, architecture, folklore, and other cultural forms. The course will help students to develop the analytical skills required for the examination of medieval and early-modern cultures (including basic tools of textual criticism and instrumentation to read symbolic languages very different from ours) and to develop an understanding of cultural premises radically different from those on which post-Enlightenment Europe has relied. The course will look at the East Slavs of Rus' and Muscovy in comparison with the peoples around them and will also look at how post-Petrine Russia has turned again and again to "Old Russia" and, indeed, has, in some areas, shown remarkable continuity with that Old Russian past. Students will also develop skills in analytical writing, in treating both very specific, materials-based topics and broader, conceptual issues.All assigned materials will be available in English.
Course Requirements:
Three short papers (1,500 words each), and a final, longer paper (2,500-3,000 words).
Intended Audience:
Students interested in pre-modern Eastern Europe
Class Format:
Twice a week for 1.5 hours; informal lectures with student participation welcomed.
Students registered for Russian 551 will attend an additional section meeting.

You already know that a lot of people are exposed to toxins outside their homes. Inside your own home, you need to make it your haven. Making your home safe will not force you to make a lot of effort. Also, some of the things you can do in order to keep your home safe will not require you to spend a lot of money.
Think about this as something similar to checking out Dove Medical Press. You do not have to spend any money in order to learn important details that you need. Toxins can sometimes be found inside our homes because of the products that we use. For example, do you normally use pesticides in various parts of your garden? If yes, then you can expect that you will be exposing yourself and the rest of your family to some chemicals that are bad for the body. It can even be worse if you smoke inside your house. Non smokers who are living with you are exposed to second hand smoke which can make their condition worse.
In order to eliminate some potential household risks, here are a few things that you can do:
- Make sure that you will keep control of the house dust inside your home.
How many times do you clean your home in a week? If some weeks pass without you removing the dust particles then you are increasing the chances that you will acquire allergies. If you are still using full floor carpeting, it is time for you to replace them. Not only will they be more prone to hold dust and other particles that can cause you harm, they are also outdate and harder to clean.
- Prevent scalding.
One of the things that a lot of people are scared of is their house catching on fire. Aside from the potential dangers that this can give, it can also be hard if people would get scalded with hot water. It will give a sensation that is similar to burning due to fire. To prevent scalding, make sure that pots that are being heated are out of reach from children. Also, test the water in your bath tub before you bathe or before you bathe your children.
- Get your home tested against lead.
Do you know that one of the main causes why people encounter some health hazards is because of the lead content found inside the home? Check the toys that you have purchased for your children as well as the other things you bought. Lead poisoning can cause brain damage not only for the fetus or the unborn baby, it can also cause severe brain damage to young children. You do not want your children to suffer because you were careless enough not to get your home tested, right?
If in case you are not sure how you can test your home, you have two options. You can let a professional check it for you for a fee or you can buy a kit from a specialty store that will allow you to test on your own.

Wal-Mart bomb threat false alarm
April 21, 2008
A bomb threat at the Craig Wal-Mart Supercenter on Sunday night was a false alarm, officials said.
Local law enforcement agencies and Craig Fire/Rescue were called to the scene at 7:12 p.m. after a Wal-Mart employee made a 911 call, Craig Fire/Rescue Chief Bill Johnston said.
The employee told dispatch that someone had called the store using terms that led the employee to think a bomb was in the building, said Sgt. Brian Soper, of the Craig Police Department.
The store was cleared of employees and customers, and two searches were done in the store, with nothing found, Johnston said.
Employees were allowed back into the store at 7:53 p.m.
Soper said this is the first bomb threat Wal-Mart has received and the investigation is ongoing.

As the H1N1 flu outbreak strikes the U.S. early and hard, health officials are pointing to a worrisome number of child deaths and warn that supplies of vaccine will remain scarce for at least the next couple of weeks. Delays in producing the vaccine mean 28 million to 30 million doses, at most, will be divided around the country by the end of the month, not the 40 million-plus doses that states had been expecting. The new count from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention means anxiously awaited flu-shot clinics in some parts of the U.S. may have to be postponed.
It also delays efforts to blunt increasing infections. Overall, what CDC calls the 2009 H1N1 flu is causing widespread disease in 41 states, and about 6 percent of all doctor visits are for flu-like illness – levels not normally seen until much later in the fall.
"It's not good news … but we have to remember that it is a long flu season, we're just in the very beginning of it," CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton said on "The Early Show Saturday Edition." "And several million doses will be coming out every week for the entire flu season. So, it is important for people to still try to get their kids vaccinated, but, again, if your pediatrician doesn't have the vaccine yet … it will be coming. It just might take some time."
Federal health officials said Friday 11 more children have died in the past week because of the virus.
The CDC says about half of the child deaths since September have been among teenagers.
And overall for the country, deaths from pneumonia and flu-like illnesses have passed what CDC considers an epidemic level.
"These are very sobering statistics," says the CDC's Dr. Anne Schuchat.
This new strain is different from regular winter flu because it strikes the young far more than the old, and child deaths are drawing particular attention. Eighty-six children have died of H1N1 flu in the U.S. since it burst on the scene last spring – 43 of those deaths reported in September and early October alone, said Schuchat.
"In a normal flu season," Ashton pointed out, "we can see about 50 children die over the course of the whole six-month flu season. We're already in the low-forties, just in the last two months. The other significant difference with H1N1 and kids is that, normally, children are not the majority of deaths of the regular flu. Normally 95 percent of deaths in seasonal flu are over 65 years of age. When they start hitting kids, teenagers, young adults, it makes a big difference."
Also in contrast to regular winter flu, H1N1 flu sometimes can cause a very severe viral pneumonia in otherwise healthy young adults, the World Health Organization warned.
Typically, influenza weakens people and making them vulnerable to bacterial pneumonia, especially those over age 65. But the new H1N1 can dive more deeply into the lungs, in "small subsets" of patients who go into respiratory failure within days, said WHO medical officer Dr. Nikki Shindo.
"Do not delay the treatment," she said as WHO ended a three-day meeting of 100 international flu specialists gathered in Washington.
The new swine flu strain also may have hit some pigs at the Minnesota State Fair in late August, animals possibly infected by some sick 4-H students. If the infection is confirmed, it wouldn't be a surprise: A sick farm worker first infected pigs in Canada last spring, and herds have been hit in Australia and Argentina, too. The virus doesn't spread to humans who eat pork.
Fortunately, most people recover from the new strain with simple at-home care, just as with the regular flu. While there aren't precise counts, states have reported more than 2,000 deaths from pneumonia or flu-like illnesses to the CDC since Aug. 30. And Schuchat said other tracking systems show those deaths have reached the level that each year is used to declare an influenza epidemic, months early.
As of Wednesday, states had ordered 8 million of the 11.4 million doses of swine flu vaccine the government has ready to ship. Just over half of the vaccine now available is in shot form and the rest as a nasal spray. First in line for scarce H1N1 vaccine are supposed to be pregnant women, anyone age 6 months to 24 years, health care workers and people under 65 with flu-risky conditions.
CDC's Schuchat urged patience, saying eventually enough vaccine will be here for everyone who wants it.
In the meantime, Ashton observed, people can take "common sense" precautions. "Get plenty of sleep," she urged, "because we know that sleep has a very important impact on our immune system. Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands. Use the hand sanitizers. Take some extra vitamin d because that can boost your immune system. And most important, if you or your children are sick, stay home from work or school. You don't want to contaminate anyone else in that."
Regular winter flu kills 36,000 Americans a year, and around the country some clinics aren't getting shipments of seasonal vaccine as quickly as expected either, as manufacturers juggle the extra work. About 82 million doses of seasonal vaccine have been shipped, and 114 million eventually will arrive, enough for typical demand, Schuchat said.

Reflections On Occupy Delaware
On Saturday I attended the first ever Occupy Delaware rally at Rodney Square in Wilmington. The first thing I noticed was that it was crawling with police. I've never actually seen so many police in one place before. The police were actually very respectful, they did not interfere in the rally, even though the rally did not get a permit.
As can be expected from a leaderless, semi-organized movement it was a bit of a zoo. No one seemed clear what to do. People gathered with their signs, speaking with each other in small groups. The crowd was actually fairly diverse, both in age and race but probably skewed to the younger side. Finally the crowd started marching around the square, carrying signs and chanting ("This is what democracy looks like" was my favorite.)
After marching around the square a few times, different people in crowd spoke. Some speakers were great and some were just strange. Everyone who wanted to speak had a chance. My impression was that people felt a bit awkward, they weren't professional protesters. My estimate is that at the height of the rally there were probably around 200 people there. Perhaps more if you count the people who filtered in and out during the 4-hour period.
When the Occupy Wall Street protests first started I was highly skeptical. What could this group do, especially since it was so amorphous that it was difficult to tell what it stood for. I'm coming around to the idea that not being specific may be one of its strengths (and could still be its fatal weakness). Any movement representing 99% of the population is going to be somewhat incoherent. I think Occupy Wall Street has already won, especially if we keep seeing articles about income inequality and ones like this one: 'Occupy' Protest About Standing Up To Reaganism.
I think this is an exciting time in history. We really are on the cusp of a big change, and we could go in either direction. The OWS protests are a sign that perhaps we can pull ourselves back from the brink. At least the nation is finally, finally having a discussion on wealth distribution and widening economic inequality – I feel like I've waited all my life for this to happen. I hope that this energy for change, systemic change continues to grow. I'm no expert, but in my humble opinion the protest need to move to the next level, they need to pull in people who can't or won't attend marches but give them some concrete actions to take – like supporting specific policy prescriptions.

4 minute read
The industrial sector makes up a relatively small, but growing, part of the UK's commercial property market. Investors are increasingly focused on efficient supply chains and the requirements of online retailing, writes Tom Goodwin.
Real estate investors seeking exposure to the consumer economy were once restricted to the retail sector, but can now gain exposure to this important driver of the UK economy via investment in industrial property. Large national or regional distribution centres form the backbone of retail supply chains, while smaller, multi-let industrial estates, once dominated by the manufacturing sector, are of increasing importance to local or 'last-mile' delivery functions.
Investors in the sector are attracted by security of income, often enjoying long lease terms and strong covenants. In comparison to the retail sector, depreciation and obsolescence are of less concern. Land value, rather than the material fabric of a building, is of greater significance to an asset's value. Non-recoverable costs are typically lower than in other sectors, with office buildings and shopping centres requiring security, mechanical and electrical maintenance, and regular refurbishment to retain their appeal to occupiers, for example.
The potential upside from conversion to alternative use is also greatest in the industrial sector. This is particularly significant in London, where industrial estates have seen large capital value gains driven by the strength of the housing market. As sites have been converted from industrial to residential use, those that remain have benefitted from increased competition among occupiers.
We consider industrial property considerably more futureproof than large parts of the UK's office or retail sectors, where large swathes of the built stock are already obsolete. There are strong reasons to expect further upheaval – not least driven by continued growth in online retailing, and the likelihood of automation replacing some low value-added office functions. The industrial sector is certainly seeing widespread changes in the way occupiers use their space, and there is scope for significant efficiency improvements, which could mean occupiers require less space overall. However, the impact of any consolidation would be gradual, and is more likely to moderate demand growth than to cause a contraction. Warehouses are, primarily, space to store goods. It seems unlikely the need for such space will fall away.
Economic headwinds
The industrial market has seen a strong recovery in rents since the 2008-09 downturn with growth in recent years surpassing levels typically seen historically. The post-global financial crisis years have been characterised by relatively robust occupier demand and an increasingly constrained supply of newly-built stock, with development activity, particularly of multi-let estates and smaller units (sub-100,000 sq ft), at very low levels.
The reasons for the dearth of development are not entirely clear: in the years following the crash, development was constrained by a lack of finance and low risk appetite. More recently, it is possible that planning constraints have held back supply, with alternative uses creating more employment or greater development value (e.g. residential). This could provide on-going support to rental levels.
Following two to three years of strong performance, rental growth peaked in 2015 and has slowed slightly over the past year. The fallout from the UK's referendum on EU membership has had significantly less impact in this sector than other parts of the market, with no noticeable change in market conditions since the middle of 2016. There are two reasons the sector has held up well since the Brexit vote. Sterling's devaluation has made UK-manufactured goods more competitive; both to overseas buyers and in the UK relative to imports. In addition, consumption drives the logistics sector through online retailing. Consumer spending has, to date, been very resilient.
Indeed, we think the sector is best placed to weather the uncertain economic outlook and our five-year average rental growth forecasts, at 1.0-1.5 per cent per annum, are broadly unchanged from our pre-Brexit view. We anticipate a moderate slowdown in growth as the recovery previously underway matures, but we do not expect to see rental decline, in contrast to other parts of the market. That outlook is attractive to investors, and so the outward yield shift that we anticipate in the industrial sector is lower than in others.
According to our current forecasts, investors can expect to see total returns averaging circa six per cent per annum over a five-year period – ahead of the 4.5 per cent per annum we expect to see at an All Property level.
Figure 1: Aviva Investors Rental Growth forecasts 2017-21 % p.a.
Source: Aviva Investors February 2017. There is no guarantee forecast performance can be achieved.
The total returns we are forecasting in the industrial sector look attractive relative to other parts of the market, but appear even more so when looking at risk-adjusted returns.
At current valuations, the sector looks fairly priced relative to the hurdle rates that we use to underwrite direct real estate investments. In some parts of the market, our five-year industrial returns forecasts are more than 15 per cent above these rates. Outside of industrials, very few parts of the UK real estate market look attractive on this basis.
Among other factors, the low volatility that industrial property performance has seen historically means that we have a lower hurdle rate than sectors that are typically more volatile, such as London offices.
Careful property selection
There remain a number of risks when investing in the sector, however. On the structural side, it should be recognised that occupiers' requirements are changing. Factors such as power availability and reinforced floors capable of supporting machinery have become as important as occupiers' long-standing demands for access to markets and labour. Consequently, assets that lack the capacity to cope with these shifts have suffered from a degree of obsolescence.
As logistics has overtaken manufacturing as the key function of industrial property, there has been a corresponding polarisation in the attractiveness of locations, which continues to grow.
As mentioned previously, the sector's market cycle is relatively well advanced, and has been characterised by unusually low levels of development. There is, however, a growing pipeline of larger units underway. While some of these are pre-let, many are not. Given pent-up demand following a number of years of low supply, this should not cause rental levels to decline, but it will give occupiers a greater choice of available properties, again highlighting the need to be invested in the right product. Supply of smaller units remains very tight, so selective development activity in the right locations could provide attractive returns in the current climate.
A second cyclical risk, related to the investment market rather than the occupier market cycle, is the current popularity of the sector amongst investors. Even over the latter half of 2016 as other sectors weakened, industrial pricing became quite stretched versus valuations.
Bidding on good industrial assets is therefore likely to become very competitive this year, and success will be to a large extent driven by investors' ability to source and structure deals.

Reflections on a disturbing story in the Herald on Sunday
Posted by BE on September 29th, 2013
First read this story from today's Herald on Sunday.
So how might we categorise Borjan Dzarliev, his mate'Charlie', the anonymous third party who filmed this outrage and their thousands of on-line accomplices? Well, you might take your pick from: Abusers, Bullies, Misogynists, Sadists, Pornographers, Psychopaths, Cowards…
I was particularly interested in the personality of Borjan Dzarliev, 'a student from Browns Bay', who, the Herald on Sunday reports: '… in the video throws in her face a dress he claims she left at his house, then launches a foul-mouthed verbal attack'. 'Coward' seems to fit him to a T. It's two on one, after all. Two men, one woman. And a cameraman or woman to record the fun. Rapists in all but the precise technical meaning of the word.

"Solar-powered family boating vacation on the Trent-Severn" by Judy Steed
TheStar.com - Business - Call of the Loon
In August 2005, Monte and Denise Gisborne did something no one's ever done before: they took a solar-powered family boating vacation on the Trent Severn Waterway for six days, "without burning a single drop of oil," as Gisborne put it. Aboard the Loon, six solar panels produced 720 watts of power, boosted to 800 watts with a supercharger. At the end of each day, after travelling 40 kilometres along the system, he would dock the Loon at a marina where he could "plug in" which wasn't really necessary, since he used only 50 cents worth of electricity a day. (The Loon carries eight, six-volt batteries on board. The batteries can get all their energy from the sun, but can be augmented by "plug-ins" for long distance touring.)
On his website, tamarackelectricboats.com, Gisborne makes a nifty offer: Listen to the sound of the solar-powered Loon. Which translates to: the sound of silence.
Imagine your favourite lake in Muskoka or the Kawarthas, with no oily film smearing the surface of the water, no loud motors shattering the peace and quiet. "We can sneak up on wildlife," Gisborne says, of cruising on the Loon. "They don't hear us coming."
Gisborne's dream has been in the making since he was a child. Born and raised in B.C., he grew up in "an automotive and engineering environment." His father is a mechanical engineer. At the age of 8, young Monte rode in a Detroit Electric car. "One of my Dad's friends owned one. I was fascinated. The idea never left me.
"Anything with wheels, a motor, boats I love them all. I've been building, designing and inventing things all my life."
He is proud to say he's descended from Frederic Newton Gisborne, "the early Canadian telegraph pioneer who first proposed, then successfully completed the first transatlantic telegraph utilizing the largest ship of its day, the Great Eastern. That was the Internet 150 years ago." He's also descended, he says, from Sir Isaac Newton, the brilliant English mathematician who invented calculus and identified the force of gravity.
Gisborne studied mechanical engineering at the University of British Columbia, and graduated from Ryerson University in Toronto with a bachelor of technology honours degree in 1991. Two years later ,long before actor Leonardo DiCaprio fell in love with the Prius electric/gas hybrid car ,Gisborne focused his energy on electric vehicles.
He cited the film, Who Killed the Electric Car, which documented the efforts of the oil industry, the big American auto manufacturers and the Bush administration to derail the development of the electric car.
Gisborne built his first electric car, the ElectriFly, in 1996, the year his wife was pregnant with their only child, Deanna (now 9). "It smacked me across the head: If you have aspirations to do anything for this planet, do it now."
The ElectriFly competed at the American Tour de Sol five years in a row, among up to 100 competitors from around the world, winning once. "You gain points if you can go further down the road on a single charge."
Now in its 18th year, the Tour de Sol showcases hybrid, electric, natural gas, biofuel, fuel cell and battery vehicles. "Al Gore was a regular at the Tour de Sol and a sponsor of electric cars," Gisborne says. "The man is genuine."
Gisborne built the first prototype of the Loon in 2005. But he was stuck. To build the business, he needed investors.
Finally he contacted me a few days ago. "I've been holding back," he said. "I didn't want to talk to you until it was all settled and I went public with a big story like this."
It is big.
Ian Herd and Arthur Stemerman, real estate investors in Niagara Falls, have joined forces with Gisborne. They've sold a couple of properties and invested "millions of dollars," as Gisborne put it, into the Tamarack Lake Electric Boat Co.
Listen to Herd, on the Loon: "The technology is right, the market is right, the timing is right. This is a great entry point for us into solar technology. And there's interest from brokerage houses." Herd and Stemerman are convinced a huge expansion is coming in the field of environmentally friendly products, services and businesses. "This is the wave of the future," Herd says.
He's wasting no time. The new partners have purchased a marina on the Trent Severn System, with 40 boat slips and 1,500 feet of frontage, near the town of Kirkfield. They are building a manufacturing facility that will employ 24 to 30 people, to build a redesigned Loon and a liveable houseboat that is 40 to 60 feet long. They have retained the design services of Paul Deutschman, one of Canada's best known product designers.
Based on the twin-hulled pontoon boat, which has not been redesigned in 50 years, the new 22-foot Loon will be sleeker and sharper, incorporating advanced hydro-dynamics and ultra-light materials, enabling the boat to move through the water more efficiently.
Production on the Loon starts this spring; it should be ready for sale by June. Herd foresees huge export potential, especially to Europe, where gas prices are three times higher than in Canada and inland waterways are popular for boating.
Just back from the U.K., Herd is amazed at how the British are "revitalizing their riverways, spending millions of pounds, preserving the old Roman bridges." He went to Bath last week by riverboat, got out in the city centre and visited pubs and the old Roman baths and hot springs. "You can go from Bristol on the riverways through Bath and all the way to London and the Parliament Buildings on the Thames."
The plan is to customize the Loon for the U.K. "The boat can only be 6 feet 10 inches wide in order to pass beneath bridges that were built back in the Roman era," says Herd. He noted that housing costs are so high that people are moving on to houseboats, a phenomenon that's occurring in Spain, France and Germany as well.
Herd is looking ahead to the 2012 Olympics in London, where city officials are working on plans to reduce traffic congestion. "We're looking to position ourselves as the solar ferry at the Olympics," he says.
No market is being ignored. Gisborne is just back from Mexico's Mayan Riviera, which he calls "a hotspot for tourism and ecologically progressive action." Soliciting interest in the Loon, he says "it went well. I see lots of potential in places like Mexico and Belize."
Herd is already talking to the Export Development Corp., the government agency that will insure up to 90 per cent of accounts receivable to countries outside Canada.
Gisborne is over the moon. "This is the right partnership, the right people. We're three equal partners, one-third each."
Herd can't stop talking about the opportunity for green technologies ,"it's exploding" ,and his luck in finding Gisborne.
"It was very refreshing to meet Monte. We can go forward because of his in-depth knowledge. A lot of people who make claims in this industry are full of hot air. Monte is the real deal. He knows his stuff."

This article is from 2007.
Intelligent comic crashes and burns
Back in the heady days of 2004, Sarah Kendall became the first woman to receive a Perrier nomination in nine years, and deservedly so. Having taken time out to trot the globe, she returned last year with a show that was worryingly patchy and left some wondering if she would return to her previously blistering form. Now, we have a show set in 1994 which recounts a college initiation prank that went awry leaving Kendall and her friend stranded in the Balangalo National Forest in the company of some pig-slaughtering rednecks.
Mixing narration and dramatic reconstruction, Kendall has enlisted the help of Justin Edwards and Joanna Neary to play a variety of characters and it's this that makes it feel more a play than stand-up comedy. Unfortunately, it's a play where no one can really act, and where the narrative passages lack much wit, giving the whole thing the feel of an ill-conceived student production. On her day Sarah Kendall is one of the most fiercely intelligent female comics out there but on the evidence of this show, that day won't be found this August. (Gordon Eldrett)

Uniformz: There will be Ugly Green Pants Worn
I was actually a fan of what MSU rolled out uniformz wise two years ago, however today's "all green" look - not so much. The pants...the pants... will be greeeeen See here for fugly. I call this the "green giant" look.
I'm on record that UM and USC have the 2 best looking uniform packages and they should really never really change them ... at least their home unis- great helmets, great color combos. I get why other programs do it and sometimes it works great. This is not one of those times.
On a somewhat more important note Bosch, Glasgow, and Magnuson catch a small break as 6th year DT (23 years old, almost 24) Tyler Hoover is out for the game.

Reconstructing the Center of Civic Life
undreds of Web sites are devoted to Pompeii, the Italian city buried beneath volcanic ash and dust from the 79 A.D. eruption of Mt. Vesuvius: evidence of the hold this ancient city has on modern imaginations. To reconstruct a glimpse of life at the height of the Roman Empire, a team of scientists at the University of Virginia is creating 3-D computer models of ancient structures found in the forum, or city center, at Pompeii. By applying computer technologies, the Pompeii Forum Project is helping urban historians, engineers, archaeologists, and architects study how the citizens of Pompeii rebuilt the forum after an earthquake in 62 A.D.
Roman writings document the occurrence of the lesser-known Pompeii earthquake, but provide little detail concerning its effects, which are of great interest to researchers in urban history and design. They see in the remains of Pompeii a basis for creating an account of the life of the city between the earthquake and subsequent volcanic eruption.
The Pompeii Forum Project at University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH)--an NPACI Education, Outreach, and Training partner--is a collaborative research venture that is archaeologically based, heavily dependent upon advanced technology, and so conceived as to address broad issues in urban history and urban design. John J. Dobbins, an IATH Fellow in 1993-94, is the project's director.
"The Pompeii Forum Project is an excellent example of how advanced technology can be brought to bear on some of the most interesting research questions within the humanities," said John Unsworth, director of IATH and an associate professor of English at Virginia. "Visualization opens new doors for researchers to represent everything from literary works to archaeological reconstruction, all of which contribute to the body of knowledge and understanding in these disciplines."
The institute, founded in 1992, was the vision of William Wulf--the AT&T Professor of Engineering and Applied Science at Virginia and president of the National Academy of Engineering--made real through support from IBM. Fellowships in Residence at the institute are granted to a select number of Virginia faculty each year, and to teams of researchers at other universities who participate over the Internet as Network Fellows.
"Studies in the humanities are traditionally strong at the University of Virginia," Unsworth said. "Bill expected that some of the most interesting computing problems of the future would come from this area."
The IATH goal is to explore and expand the potential of information technology as a tool for humanities research. To that end, Fellows receive consulting, technical support, applications programming, and networked publishing facilities. IATH also cultivates partnerships and participates in humanities computing initiatives with libraries, publishers, information technology companies, scholarly organizations, and others interested in the intersection of computers and cultural heritage.
The Walls of Pompeii
To create a realistic 3-D model of Pompeii's Macellum, the members of the Pompeii Forum Project build small segments of walls in VRML (left) and then mapping photographs of the actual walls onto the model (below). The segments are then "stitched" together to form a larger model.
The former city of Pompeii is centered on the forum--a space of temples and administrative buildings--surrounded by 117 blocks of ruins, all contained within crumbling city walls. The form and face of the forum changed with each political incarnation of the city. According to Carroll William Westfall, an urban historian who has participated on the Pompeii Forum Project, under Roman rule the forum achieved a new prestige as the Romans used civic activity and accompanying urban architecture to show that religious and civic life gave order and vitality to the private and commercial affairs of the city. The remains of the forum therefore provide a visual history from which to read the state of civic affairs when Mt. Vesuvius erupted.
The archaeological record of Pompeii, however, presents inconsistencies that have long intrigued scholars. Specifically, the buildings of the forum appear deteriorated or partially repaired when compared to surrounding buildings. The earthquake of 62 A.D. accounts for the damage to the city as a whole, but urban historians wonder why the central space of Roman life was allowed to linger in a state of seeming disrepair.
Evidence gathered to date by the Pompeii Forum Project challenges commonly held and widely published notions about the evolution of the forum, especially during the final years of the city's life. The project aims to provide the first systematic documentation of the architecture and decoration of the forum and to interpret this evidence as it pertains to the city's urban history. According to Westfall, this reading of Pompeii is applicable to subsequent and contemporary problems in urban design, or how urban architecture supports city life and the well-being of its citizens.
Structural engineering principles might offer insight into such archaeological questions about the reconstruction following the earthquake. Kirk Martini, an assistant professor of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Virginia and an IATH Fellow, has been applying terrestrial photogrammetry to create a 3-D model of the Macellum--a large market building on the Pompeii Forum.
Photogrammetry uses photographs to derive 3-D geometry, which can be modeled with methods such as the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). The 3-D models are generated by the EOS Systems Photomodeler program. The surface textures from the photographs are mapped onto the model so that it shows not only geometry, but also surface material and texture, effectively creating a 3-D photograph that can be viewed from any angle.
Martini and a multidisciplinary team of researchers and students at Virginia are currently creating a partial model of the Macellum using approximately 100 photographs: a challenge to the Photomodeler software that has led the team to develop a process called "stitching." Worthy Martin, professor of computer science, students Randy Hudson and Tony James, architecture student Rodrigo Abela, Martini, and IATH graphics specialist Chris Jessee are collaborating on the four-step process, which allows the modelers to create a large VRML model of the building by joining smaller models created with Photomodeler.
The motivation for this approach lies in the fact that photogrammetry is more effective when applied to a group of photographs that include many common points in a scene; the large building is broken into parts that can be covered by roughly six to 10 photographs, with some overlap common to the parts. The geometry of the parts can be calculated effectively, and then the parts can be stitched together at the overlaps.
The four steps of the stitching process are to identify corresponding regions of triangles between two models, calculate a transformation that roughly aligns one model with the other, calculate from that starting position a more refined transformation that minimizes the error in the alignment, and then merge the matched vertices to produce one complete model. In the future, Martini hopes to work closely with the NPACI Interactive Environments thrust area to expand these types of modeling activities.
The researchers can also enhance the models to recreate the building before the earthquake and use that data about prior form and seismic effect to extrapolate the effects of the earthquake on other structures. They can then compare the degree and chronology of reconstruction in private buildings to the reconstruction of the forum.
"Architects, archaeologists, and computer scientists build and analyze computer models of structures, and construct a chronology of events that matches the evidence in the masonry," Martini said. "The results drive urban historians' theories about the life of the civic center of Pompeii. Many disciplines contribute to the work of the project, and in the end we all benefit."--AF

Exchange-traded funds offer a convenient way to invest in sectors or niches that interest you. If you'd like to add some technology-heavy stocks to your portfolio, the First Trust NASDAQ-100-Tech Index ETF (NASDAQ:QTEC) could save you a lot of trouble. Instead of trying to figure out which companies will perform best, you can use this ETF to invest in lots of them simultaneously.
The basics
ETFs often sport lower expense ratios than their mutual fund cousins. The First Trust ETF's expense ratio -- its annual fee -- is a relatively low 0.60 %.
This ETF has performed reasonably, beating the world market over the past three and five years. As with most investments, of course, we can't expect outstanding performances in every quarter or year. Investors with conviction need to wait for their holdings to deliver.
Why technology?
Our growing world population will demand more and better high-tech products and services over time, boosting the business of successful technology-oriented companies.
More than a handful of technology-heavy companies had strong performances over the past year. Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) surged 118%, despite challenges from a struggling PC market. Bulls are hopeful that growth in tablets and smartphones will boost demand for memory chips. Micron's purchase of Japanese manufacturer Elpida has some investors quite optimistic, as it boosts Micron's capacity and its relationship with Apple. Some worry about competition, the commoditization of memory, and Micron's debt levels. The company beat expectations for both revenue and earnings in its last quarter.
Network storage specialist NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP), meanwhile, jumped 22%. The company recently initiated a dividend, and it's yielding 1.6% these days. Some have sent the shares up on hopes that an activist investor might help the company's prospects, but the stock is also significantly shorted. NetApp announced layoffs and boosted its share buyback plans – though buybacks are often regrettable. The company recently posted disappointing revenue numbers, but it still looks attractive to some, in part due to strong free cash flow. Some also wonder whether NetApp might end up acquired by another major data player, such as Oracle.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), one of the biggest mobile-application processor companies, gained 7%. You know a company is facing some challenges when articles about it refer to "hail Marys" in their titles. NVIDIA recently delayed its handheld gaming hardware launch, and took a hit. Some questioned whether its new cloud technology is the smartest move. Still, it's posting net gains and positive free cash flow, and is poised to benefit from robust expected global smartphone growth.
Other companies didn't do as well last year, but could see their fortunes change in the coming years. Nuance Communications (NASDAQ:NUAN), a major developer of speech-recognition software, shed 19%, in part due to some disappointing earnings. Nuance is threatened by weak demand, shrinking margins, and intensifying competition. Carl Icahn has taken a big stake in the company, but some doubt the wisdom of that. With its seemingly low valuation, some see it as a buyout candidate, and bulls like its prospects in health care.
The big picture
Demand for technology isn't going away anytime soon. A well-chosen ETF can grant you instant diversification across any industry or group of companies -- and make investing in and profiting from it that much easier.

Over The Top and Back
By Sir Tom Jones
8 October 2015/ Michael Joseph £20 – HARDBACK
2 June 2016 / Penguin Books £8.99 – PAPERBACK
1 November 2016 / Blue Rider Press $16 – PAPERBACK (US RELEASE WITH REVISED JACKET)
"I've got a name for you: Tom Jones. He's thinking of the movie with Alblert Finney. Big picture in 1963. Won three Oscars. Based on an eighteenth century novel by Henry Fielding, if that's your thing, though I've never read it. What I hear in it is my mother's maiden name, so I'm perfectly happy with that. It's a name in which I feel I immediately belong."
In Sir Tom Jones's first ever autobiography he unveils a fresh talent as a natural raconteur as he delightfully and honestly recounts his life and career, from his childhood in Pontypridd right through to his less than ceremonious dismissal from The Voice. Spanning seven decades, this extraordinary journey takes us through highs, the lows and everything in between.
Born into a wartime coal mining family, Tommy Woodward evokes a warm and happy family life and childhood. Schoolwork doesn't come easy, so much so that a bout of TB actually comes as a relief. He leaves school at 15, and finding himself with a wife and child at 16 takes a series of day jobs as he plugs away at the early rock 'n roll scene in Wales. Despite his astonishing talent, it seems unlikely that – 24 years in – he'll make it.
But somehow he does. He reveals the stories behind the many struggles to succeed in what was the musical revolution of the 60's and the very early days of the music business; he sets the scenes of the era that surround the company of John Lennon, Elvis, Sammy Davis Jr and Sinatra (among countless others), he details being thrust into a mega trans-Atlantic television production unprepared, and he muses throughout on what can happen with certain kinds of success.
But he also talks about what it was like in the 80s when his career hit the bottom, and what it has taken to rediscover his raw talent, to harness his incredible voice in unexpected, believable and compelling ways to enable a second, more lasting wave in his career.
"The thing that I was looking for, over and above anything else – the thing that I was getting and that was making me happiest, was the chance to be around cheerful and talented characters (musicians)"
Music, from the very beginning of this extraordinary life, has been the key to happiness. And it is this phenomenal musical talent, and the ability to tell a great story which lies at the heart of this warm and articulate autobiography.
And the companion soundtrack to the book….

Do I need a visa to visit Canada?
Depending on where you hold citizenship, you may need to obtain a visa before you are allowed to visit Canada. Many people visit Canada every year, whether to go on vacation, act as a tourist or visit their friends and family. In order to do so, ensure that you are aware of whether or not you require a visitor visa.
Whether or not you require a visitor visa depends on whether your country is visa-exempt or not. A list of these countries is found here.
For example, the United States is a visa-exempt country, so American citizens don't require a visitor visa to come to Canada. Bangladesh is not visa-exempt, so citizens of that country require one before they can come to Canada.
What is needed to get a visitor visa to Canada?
Along with the visitor visa application forms, individuals who want a visitor visa must satisfy several requirements. These include that you are healthy, as you may have to undergo a medical exam. You must also not have a criminal record or be a threat to Canadians or Canada.
A valid passport is required, and you may need to have a letter of invitation from someone in Canada.
In addition, you must have proof that you have strong ties to your home country that will motivate your return, such as immediate family, employment or a house. If Citizenship and Immigration Canada is not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your trip, you may not be allowed in.
You must also be able to demonstrate that you have enough money to fund your stay in Canada.

School Supply Fun
I also picked up a few school supplies Saturday morning. Even though we home school, I am still buying supplies for a bunch of students, and we use pens and pencils and crayons and paper just like students in public school. So I buy it when you do–as soon as it goes on sale, and not one minute before, LOL! This year, I also received a box of school goodies from EZ School Supplies. You woulda thought it was Christmas up in here, ya'll! Look at this:
They had so much fun, and I got several blissful minutes of quiet!
I really like the box the supplies came in. It's a good sturdy box with places to write in the child's like and dislikes, and then keep special work in after the school year is over. It even has a handle on top. I don't know about you, but I am all about the storage!


text: Flohsors Redfield 8 Posted October 24, 2017 Hello everyone! I thought it might be a good idea to collect all the suggestions that were made during the kickstarter in this place to avoid them getting lost and maybe get a confirmation or veto from SFG on them. Everything that's left when the game ships can then be added via houserules/homebrew 1. Symbols on the blue dice - a couple of people are afraid that the dice in their current state are too unforgiving, while others stated that the dice are perfect. Some people suggested to just add an additional single hit to all (or just the blue?) dice. I have an idea that might cater to both sides. Why not add 1 single hit to half of all the dice? That way people can randomly select from the pool or intentionally go for the dice with better or worse odds. 2. Put the abilities on an extra set of small cards - the character sheets will simply state what ability each character starts with, but players are also free to pick or shuffle and draw the cards in the beginning of the campaign. That way you can add abilities that do not match any character, but could potentially increase replayability. Those are just some random thoughts I wanted to get out there ... I have another idea regarding modular character sheets, but that's not fleshed out yet Have a good one everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let Freedom Ring
Welcome to July and my monthly Homemaker Tag at CreativeBreathing. July is a month of optimism a time in our country to reflect on what the USA means to each of us, just like all birthdays are a time of reflection. I was raised in a house filled with pride in our country, respect for the constitution that held our country together. My parents were born during the stock market crash of 1929, they were teen-ager's during World War II and were married in 1950 in a time of renewal for our young country, raised 5 children during the turbulent 60's, educated us during the 70's, watched us start our own lives during the 80's and 90's and we lost them in the early 21st century. I was taught to respect the Presidency, the Constitution, and God. I was blessed to have a father who loved the law, arguing and teaching with experience as opposed to fancy book learning. My dad was a yellow dog Democrat, yet he was the most conservative man I knew, but he taught me to debate and to always look at both sides of the argument so that I was able to argue both sides if need be. It was due to him that I learned compassion, empathy, and that everyone is free to express an opinion whether you agree or not, you must respect that they have the right to that opinion. Freedom is what I reflect on this July and how this country has slowly abandoned respect for following labels, victimization and belief that words hold more power than an action. I grew up in a time that respect was a characteristic that was more important than anything, when you would never dream of questioning your parent about their motives. A time when parents were just that a parent and it wasn't until you were older that you learned they were human beings doing the best they could. I reflect on a time which was not so long ago that this country stood for Freedom, Respect, Unity and Hope, but now I am starting to see that slowly chip away. I have instilled in my son the keys to understanding what our past was, in hopes that the future will be brighter.
So for July my tag represents Freedom in the form of 4 women taking to the beach on a hot summer day shedding off the constraints of bondage (i.e. constrictive clothes) to bath in the glory of god's creations.
Happy 4th to all. May Freedom Ring.
How I created the tag.

This article originally appeared in the September 2008 issue of Architectural Digest.
True love blooms in a multitude of ways. It can happen when eyes lock across the proverbial crowded room, on a blind date, at cruising altitude with a stranger on an airplane. If one is lucky in life, it is also possible to be struck dumb by a place, to know its rightness deep in your heart. "We drove up the driveway, and I knew immediately," designer Jacques Saint Dizier says of his first glimpse of a Craftsman farmhouse tucked into the ancient redwoods and live oaks of Sonoma County, California. "It gave me goose bumps."
The chemistry is still palpable between Saint Dizier and the warm, personal residence he has inhabited for 22 years, a place he likens to "a clearing in the woods you'd stumble upon." The designer's formidable homing instincts kicked in early: As a 10-year-old boy from Louisiana Cajun country, he made his first trip to New York to attend the 1964 World's Fair in Flushing Meadows and was certain as soon as he stepped out of the taxi that one day he would live in New York.
His career began there under the tutelage of the late Angelo Donghia, whose dead-on eye Saint Dizier has inherited. "He was gentle, calm, soft-spoken but so stylish, on the best-dressed lists for good reason," recalls the designer. "He'd walk into a room and say, Move this to there and that to here.' He taught me so much about stirring the pot." When his mentor died in 1985, "it sort of buckled my knees," Saint Dizier says, compelling him to reexamine his life in New York, the one in which stacks of résumés were piled high on his desk competing for his job. At the suggestion of friends, he traveled to Sonoma County, whereupon he fortuitously learned about a hillside farmhouse with exquisite proportions and a wraparound porch built in 1912 by a lumber baron as a gift for his bride.
"I remember thinking, Give me a life with trees, a dog and a garden, and I'll be fine," Saint Dizier says about closing up shop in the wake of Donghia's death. "That my career has followed me here, on my terms, has been the blessing of my life."
Though his firm occupies a first-rate corner of Healdsburg and he commutes to Kona, Hawaii, and other A-list locales, outfitting second and third resort homes along with private jets and yachts, in his personal life Saint Dizier gravitates to the outdoors, despite being, as he says, "an interiors person." Light infuses his residence through a large bank of windows facing the porch, enhanced by a screened door that is perpetually swung open.
Located 60 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge—the tollbooth, to be exact—the house is nestled in an aromatic horticultural Eden in which two of California's greatest hits—the coastal redwoods and the twisting live oaks associated with the state's dry inland— converge. "I definitely have country in my blood," says the designer, who grew up on Lake Charles, in Louisiana, and would occasionally roll up his pant legs and water-ski home from school.
Though linoleum concealed much of the honey-colored Douglas fir floors, the period character of the farmhouse remained intact, down to the requisite stone fireplace with banquettes, redwood wainscoting and leaded-and-stained-glass built-in sideboard and bookcases. Hardly a by-the-book designer, Saint Dizier quickly jettisoned the overly earnest ghost of Gustav Stickley. "It's not as livable as I'd like," he says of the period. "I like to sink into furniture."
Indeed, the sofa he designed for the living room, with antique-velvet-back pillows and leather seat cushions, is so tactile and curl-up-able that Saint Dizier likens it to a very large pet (his real one is a feisty Welsh terrier named Huey Long).
In designing for himself, versus for his clients, Saint Dizier is aware of a contrasting sensibility. "In my work, I use a restrained hand," he notes. "Everything is very high end, very structured, very well thought out. At home I don't want to tailor or structure things. I'm not running around thinking, Oh, this isn't right. It's all okay. I also learned early in my career that people can't relax in perfection."
The garden is perhaps the most gloriously okay place of all. Saint Dizier—who once flirted with giving up design for horticulture—relaxes profoundly in this lush, slightly out-of-control "green cradle," which he has nurtured over the years from its beginnings as a barren slope. Plants and flowers seem to radiate happiness, from the golden plum tree and Japanese maple planted early on by the kitchen window to old-fashioned cascades of roses and geraniums, whose sheer exuberance threatens to subsume the pool. The pool is designed to resemble a volleyball court, complete with bleachers. "We've had 18 people playing volleyball in there," says Saint Dizier. "The residence is all about enjoying life and not taking it all too seriously."
That notion extends to the artwork throughout the house—some of it by talented friends—as well as the collectibles, including his whimsical die-cast toy trucks, which hold a dog leash and toys by the kitchen door and suntan lotion by the pool.
Coming home after his rough commute—11 miles through stunning vineyards—Saint Dizier will often light a fire, even in the summertime, open the door and watch the sun set with a glass of wine from the banana-yellow porch swing (another gift). One of his favorite reds is a zinfandel from a vineyard just up the road, produced by a family he knows quite well. "You can taste their personality," he says of the wine.
The same might also be said of Saint Dizier's residence. In the end, of course, a sense of intimacy and comfort with oneself may be the most profound design of all.

Posted on: September 19 2012
Facing political pressure from Mayor Mitch Landrieu to draft a rate plan he can justify to the public, the staff of the Sewerage & Water Board has scaled back its proposed water and sewer rates for a second time since asking to double its fees a year ago. The latest plan, handed to board members on Tuesday, calls for a 10 percent annual jump in sewer and water rates for eight years. The staff originally proposed increasing both sewer and water rates 15 percent every year until 2016, but it trimmed that in May to a 13 percent jump for sewer and a 12 percent jump for water over five years.
Eliot Kamenitz, The Times-Picayune archive
The New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board has once again trimmed back its rate hike proposals for sewer and water service.
The latest cutback could make the rate increases an easier sell for S&WB members to the City Council and Board of Liquidation, which have the final say on their implementation. But the reductions also mean the agency will have to get by with $32.8 million less than what the plan's second rendition would have brought in.
To adjust, the staff's proposal delays its schedule for future capital projects, designed to tackle years of deferred maintenance and help meet time-mandated federal standards for reducing existing wastewater safety hazards.
Under the latest proposal -- requested by Landrieu, who serves as president of the water board -- average monthly residential water and sewer bills would climb from $52.50 to $86.36 in 2016, or $8.56 less than most recently projected.
Residents receive a single monthly bill from the water board that covers sewer and water service as well as trash pickup. Although sewerage rates and water rates are independent of each other, the amount of water a customer consumes is used to calculate sewerage use.
S&WB President pro tem Raymond Manning asked his fellow board members to collect public input before their Oct. 5 meeting, when the board will consider the staff's recommendations. Historically, sewer and water rate increases in New Orleans have been political hot potatoes, often failing to pass the council as the city's notoriously leaky pipes steadily deteriorate. Asking residents, many of whom lived on fixed incomes or fall below the poverty line, to pay more for basic utilities is hard enough. But an odd quirk in the membership of the 109-year-old S&WB shoves another wrench in the works.
Three members of the City Council also sit on the S&WB. To pass a rate increase, those members must first vote to send the proposed changes to the full council. Then, as council members, they must vote to approve the increases. In the past, those members have approved sending the increases to the council, then killed them.
It's a governmental Catch-22 that has several groups, including the Bureau of Governmental Research, calling for the ouster of elected officials from the board.
Hoping to avoid such a stalemate, Landrieu asked the S&WB in July to take two months to comb through their latest proposal one last time. He also asked staff members to answer several questions to help prove their case.
"In my experience in government, I have found that if you're forthright and the people really understand it, notwithstanding how hard it is, we'll find a way to get it done," he said at the time.
Landrieu didn't attend the board meeting Tuesday, but Deputy Mayor of Capital Projects Cedric Grant sat in his stead.
In his questions to the S&WB, the mayor sought to partly shift focus away from the cost to customers and toward potential benefits, including new jobs, improved customer service and a more efficient agency.
Officials say the rates are necessary to pay for a $3.3 billion plan to repair the city's fractured water and sewer systems over 10 years. State and federal agencies have promised to help with the cost, but service rates will have to cover more than a third of that amount, according to the staff report.
Beyond building a new system, Infinity Engineering Consultants estimated that the renovations will add almost 27,000 construction jobs.
The S&WB's own work force stands to benefit as well, according to the report. The agency had more than 4,000 employees prior to Hurricane Katrina, but its numbers have since dwindled to less than 1,000, Superintendent Joseph Becker said Tuesday. And almost a third of those still working will reach retirement age within the next five years, accentuating the need to attract younger skilled laborers.
The rate increases will allow the staff to add 74 new permanent positions next year and another 112 by 2020, according to the report. Several new jobs will focus on reducing the amount of free water the S&WB gives away to municipal agencies.
Tuesday's report also calls for new electronic meters to be installed and another customer service center to be opened.
After championing the rate increases, the S&WB staff report also painted a dire picture of what could happen without them. It was those scenarios Landrieu specifically asked the board to elaborate upon.
Without an increase in revenue, service interruptions will increase and the likelihood that the whole system could fail will shoot skyward, the staff told the board.
"And the worst-case scenario is a catastrophic failure of the water system that could result in the need to evacuate the city pending the reconstruction of the failed infrastructure and the lengthy recertification of the drinking water system," the report stated.
The S&WB also could fail to meet the deadlines set by its 1998 federal consent decree, according to the report. As a result, The U.S. Justice Department or the Environmental Protection Agency could order the agency to increase its rates. So could the city's Board of Liquidation, which monitors the S&WB's debt service.
It could also take a hit to its credit rating and cash reserves set aside for emergencies and natural disasters.
As the staff's results were handed around Tuesday, S&WB member Loyce Wright had reservations.
She criticized the process for not seeking more input from the public, even though the water board has received independent reviews of the rate proposals from BGR, the Business Council, and an assembled group of engineers, architects and attorneys known as the New Orleans Citizen Sewer, Water & Drainage System Reform Task Force.
"It may require more time to bring more groups up to speed, but I do believe we need to have a conversation with a larger group that what is referenced in this document," she said.

Hello lovelies!
Can you believe that there's only three days left of this challenge? Where did the time go?
Anywho, onto the nails!
Also, new short nails....I had some peeling happen to my index and middle finger nails, and I had kind of been babying them for a while to make sure they didn't break. But I'm taking a screen printing class this semester, and we did a demo on Monday on the whole process from making your screen to creating the prints. Well let's just say no. There's no way my nails are going to survive this semester. I'm hoping that I can keep them at a decent length but we'll see how long that lasts.
Here's what I used:
Also, this is my only flakie polish...seriously. I think I bought it over two years before I was even into polish really. Most of the base has evaporated out of it and it's incredibly thick, but I'm glad that I kept it or else I wouldn't have been able to accomplish today's theme haha!
These nails started with two coats of Sansa and a layer of Covered In Diamonds. I added a layer of Glossy Glam before moving on because the flakies weren't laying flat. Using this pattern by Eva Black as my inspiration, I painted the white waves on with my acrylic paint (not pictured) and detail brush. Everything was sealed in with another layer of Glossy Glam and Wax That...
I know that flakies are the big thing right now but I don't know. I just can't do it, I don't like them. They look alright here but that's because they're matte, but I rarely wear my matte polish. Glitter is definitely my thing and I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. Which do you prefer, flakies or glitter?
Thanks for reading guys!
-Marisa! (:

The Amear
Firstborn, the Outsider, with eyes that hold the Light of Creation.........
Beomear appears to be of Amear blood, but in truth he is from another place, something even he does not fully understand. He lived his early life as one of the Irsenfolk, a family of those calling themselves, (as the Amear do), The People. In his adventures he met and eventually befriended a mighty Dire Wolf of the White Grove. Charon has been his closest friend and companion from this simple existence, an earlier time, harsh but uncomplicated.
A darkness fell on the Irsenfolk. A terror from beyond, unknown to any Fyrdlander, descended upon the young lands. It commanded the wicked Vendol, and enslaved the cunning Others. Only The People stood against it, and in this they failed. The beauty and wonder of the land was torn and fouled. The Fyrdlander's of all families waged a terrible, losing, war. Peace left them, and they knew only ruin.
This all changed with the coming of the Deradam. They introduced themselves quietly, appearing as members of his kind, teaching him woodcraft and runelore. As he grew as a student, the true nature of these figures was revealed, and Beomear found himself speaking with the legendary Teachers , those who brought the power of the words to his folk generations ago. These figures posed a harsh choice to Beomear: Go away from this world, all they he knew and understood, and go to another land, and while there secure the power needed to return and bring the Shadow Lord to his knees, saving the Irsenfolk and all his kind.
Beomear accepted, not without a sense of the fear. He was taken from his home, and placed in Anea, a world unlike anything he had ever imagined. Ancient, breathing, far from the light of creation. Armed with the power of the Runes, without direct aid, accompanied only by his true friend Charon, the scout of the Irsenfolk walked among The Amear. He found he looked like these strange people, and was able to pass for one of them due to his Runic power. Now, in a strange land, he seeks to gather the words of power, the Runes of an ancient world, seeking to save those who dwell on a young one.

I just picked all my late jalapeno peppers and I've got a ton of them! Can I freeze them? How is the best way to do it? thanks!
Yes, absolutely. I find it easiest to cut them up first--remove the stem, seeds, membranes and cut into chunks. Then just stick them in a ziploc bag.
Yes, I have a tone in my freezer. I freeze them whole and wash/cut them right before I cook them.
Yes you certainly can. I always buy up chilies...whenever I see them and freeze. em Using them from frozen is a snap!
Absolutely! I cut them in half, stem and seed them, and then spread them on a tray for an hour in the freezer before either vacuum sealing them or popping them in a ziplock freezer bag and storing them in the freezer. Works great!
