TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Sixty teams of elementary through high school students from across Alabama will program robots to navigate obstacles Saturday in a competition held at The University of Alabama.
"We'll have third graders all the way up to high school seniors all doing the same contest problems," said Dr. Jeff Gray, UA professor of computer science.
About 300 students and 200 parents and teachers are expected to attend the Alabama Robotics Competition hosted by the UA College of Engineering's computer science department. The contest will be held in Sellers Auditorium at the Bryant Conference Center. Check-in begins at 9:30 a.m., and the awards ceremony will conclude by 4 p.m. A special keynote speech from code.org will be given before the start of the contest.
The contest takes place from noon to 3 p.m. Programming skills are emphasized in the competition. Students use their own computers to program their robotic hardware and maneuver it through an obstacle course independently. Teams are scored based on their ability to operate their robot through the three problems and how long it takes them to complete the obstacles.
"This contest is a programming contest. So, you have to actually program the robots," Gray said. "There is no remote control. They have to actually make the robots autonomously move across the maze and bump off obstacles. They'll have touch sensors. They'll have light sensors. And, the idea is to make it through the maze."
Each year the problems the teams are given have a theme, but the theme remains a secret until competition time. In years past, the themes have included the Winter Olympics, Monsters Inc. and Minions. The theme of the problems for 2017 is also related to a popular movie from the past year.
"We'll reveal the problems to them just about a half hour before it starts," Gray said.
By participating in the competition, students learn technical skills for programming, teamwork through working with others, problem-solving by working through the obstacles and sportsmanship in competition, Gray said. The public is welcome to watch the competition, which will also be projected on a screen in the contest area.
The day is set to kick off at 10:45 a.m. with the students listening to a keynote speaker, Brook Osborne, the educational program manager at code.org. Gray said code.org hosts the Hour of Code where over 100 million children across the world participate in an hour of computer science. Osborne will also speak with the participants and their teachers during the contest.
The competition is split into three divisions, elementary, middle and high school. First, second and third place plus an honorable mention will be awarded in each division. Trophies and nearly $5,000 worth of gift cards, books and other items will be given to the winners.
Details about the event can be found at http://outreach.cs.ua.edu/robotics-contest/

Six Senses Yao Noi is a wonderfully romantic island hideaway surrounded by lush jungle, turquoise waters and the limestone pinnacles of Phang Nga Bay. Of the 56 villas, some are nestled high in the rainforest, others with glorious sea views and some with stairs leading directly to the beach.
All have a large private terrace, private infinity-edged pool and are attended to by their own private butler.
It's like staying in your own private tree-house. The vegetation and tropical landscaping envelop the villas providing privacy, and the thatched roofs and natural materials used create a rustic feel yet with all the detail and service to elevate this resort to the status of luxurious.
Explore the secluded beaches and local villages of the island by bicycle, sea kayak, boat or on foot. Some excellent diving and snorkelling sites can be accessed from Yao Noi or maybe a fishing or sailing trip. On land there are hiking trails and rock climbing sites and it is also possible to go elephant trekking. The hotel also offers wine tasting and cookery classes and there are regular boats running from the resort to Phuket and Krabi for those who fancy a day's shopping or sightseeing.
Six Senses Yao Noi is found on the tropical island of Yao Noi in Phang Nga Bay. This idyllic island is reached via a short flight from either Phuket or Krabi.

text: DigitalFast Chat: Will PearsonMental Floss founder talks about his trivia magazine, which new owner Felix Dennis says has the 'worst name in the world'By Lucia Moses|June 21, 2011 ShareBy Lucia Moses|June 21, 2011 Share A magazine about trivia might not seem like an obvious hit, but British publisher Felix Dennis, who recently bought Mental Floss from its founders, has a record of defying the odds, launching The Week and Maxim with unexpected success. Will Pearson, one of Mental Floss' founders, talks about the concept behind the bimonthly and his first dealings with Dennis. Adweek: That's an interesting phone number you've got—all odd numbers? Will Pearson: As someone who despises odd numbers, it's not nice to look at. For some reason, odd numbers disturb me. Maybe it's an OCD thing. I guess I've revealed too much already. You started Mental Floss in 2000 while a student at Duke. How would you describe it? Mental Floss is a magazine for knowledge junkies that makes an effort to blur the line between education and entertainment. Why did you decide to start it? Mangesh Hattikudur, my founding partner, and I really started it in many ways as a selfish endeavor. When we didn't see the magazine we were looking for, as naive college students, we felt we were qualified to found it. I don't think we realized how quickly it could branch out to other avenues like books and games. Right, you've spun off books and products like Law School in a Box. That in some ways started out as a joke about our moms wondering why we weren't going to law school and med school. It comes with nifty little items like your bar exam and your mini-bar exam. Because any good lawyer needs to know how to drink as well. We actually had an attorney in New York threaten to sue us for granting a diploma. Now we're doing a series of games. We put out a board game called Split Decision. It was based on a quiz that became popular on our site. You read a quote and have to decide if it was said by Gandhi or Angelina Jolie. I read that Felix Dennis, who recently bought the magazine, wasn't so hot on the name? His first words were, "Mental Floss is the worst name I've ever heard because no one else around the world knows what dental floss is." We immediately got a sense of Felix's personality. He loved the magazine, but it was great to hear a critique from somebody who's been so successful. Who reads Mental Floss? When we started, we expected it to be [people] fresh out of college. It's still a young audience. But it's largely busy professionals, people who are well-educated who want to continue learning. It's slightly more female than male. That surprises people. Why do people need a magazine like this when there's Wikipedia? Certainly all or most of this info is out there. I think what surprises people is [that] we take it a step further to find the more interesting facts. In almost every case, we try to find those "wow" facts. And it's presented in a way that's fun and playful. You just hired Jim Kaminsky to be the editor and brought on a publisher and circulation director. What are your plans for growth? We're significantly increasing the investment. We're looking for 35 percent circulation growth from 100,000 over the next year. We're going to be increasing our cover price, probably 20 percent, from $4.99 to $5.99, and increase the frequency next year, probably by a third. We'll probably go eight times in 2012. Now that I'm saying this to you, we'll actually have to do it. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kQSF8c copy Adweek Adweek

In domain of assault weapons (SS) there are two spesifications that are often known to the M-16 made in the United States and the AK-47 Russian-made. There is similar weapons but actually made in Indonesia and did not lose its quality. Senjata Serbu 2 (SS 2) the artificial made of PT Pindad make M-16 lose its own movement a few times. In the three times world level shooting competition, SS2 had defeated M-16 A2, the last series of this machine gun.
"In the three times world level shooting competition. A total of 9 countries using the M-16 and Indonesia with SS2, the fact no one beat of our production," said Timbul Sitompul, Head of Public Relations of PT Pindad, time ago. SS2 is a new generation assault rifle caliber 5.56 x 45 mm with 7 barrel range. "Lightweight, reliable and has high accuracy, using a folding stock and flexible for use as needed." Distance accuracy of this weapon effectively reach 600 meters," said an instructor.
This weapon can be used by any mechanical and optical sight can also be equipped with various accessories, including silencers, bayonets, various type of grenade launchers, and others. This weapon also has developed into various types of long barrel and short barrel, either by using any mechanical to optical sight, according to the needs of operations. There are four variants of this type of SS2 variant 1 (SS2V1), SS2V2, SS2V3, SS2V4. The difference is the length of the barrel and sniping tool. SS2V4, a reporter who tried this weapon was not using the optical sight.
This weapon first produced in 2007 and as a demand for Komando Pasukan Khusus (Kopassus) TNI AD, Indonesian Special Force. "For a while has not sold out of the country," said Timbul. This weapon (SS2) is the weapon enhancement from the earlier version SS1. It is also this weapon developed in different special type, there are marinized developed for marine condition and the swap condition, and the raider type also developed for specific battlefield.

(This article was first published on You Know, and kindly contributed to R-bloggers)
Data scientists often identify a need to join data from different, unlinked servers. One standard tool for accomplishing this is an SSIS package to consolidate the data onto one of the servers. For the analyst who wants to keep everything in one file for simplicity and repeatabililty, there is another option: the RODBC package (authored by Brian Ripley).
To avoid issues of uninstalled packages, I use this general method.
pkg <- c("RODBC", "ggplot2")
inst <- pkg %in% installed.packages()
if (length(pkg[!inst]) > 0) install.packages(pkg[!inst])
lapply(pkg, library, character.only = TRUE)
First query data from the first server:
channel1 <- odbcDriverConnect(connection = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=yourserver;Database=yourdatabase;Trusted_Connection=Yes;")
query1 <- "select * from customers where contractID IS NOT NULL"
data1 <- sqlQuery(channel1, query1)
Then query data from the second server:
channel2 <- odbcDriverConnect(connection = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=yourserver;Database=yourdatabase;Trusted_Connection=Yes;")
query2 <- "select * from products"
data2 <- sqlQuery(channel2, query2)
Join (merge) the two resulting dataframes:
data.merge <- merge(data1, data2, by = "InvoiceID")
Do something interesting and save the results:
p <- ggplot(data = data.merge) + something_worth_graphing...
ggsave(filename = "NeatChart.pdf", plot = p)
Now you will have one R file that pulls all of the data you need, processes it, and saves the output.
Bonus idea: The tables to query may be quite large. Peel out the limiting factor (such as a list of customer IDs) and use the paste0 command to assemble a dynamic second query (using the WHERE clause).

This is just my intro post!June 10th, 2012 in member junk
Finally! A site where I can spread my wings! I have been a junkette as long as I can remember, and started with going garage saling with my mother as a child. Loving art, and being mechanical, plays into it, and I am always looking at things with the eyes of how it was made, and what else could it be...
My husband and I have been married for 15 years, and by previous marriages have 5 children (3 boys and 2 girls) between us, who have now blessed us with a total of 10 grandchildren (8 girls and 2 boys). We live on a small, private fishing lake in mid-Michigan and call it our retirement home, as this is where we plan to live, even after my hubby retires in a few years. I have one vegetable garden, and several flower beds, raised garden boxes/bed, etc. I keep busy, but am limited in activies involving energy and strength. It only goes so far some days. I love my projects, and my hubby helps me with parts of them with his woodworking tools so we enjoy doing some of them together. I'm so glad to have found this site!!! Now that I have learned how to resize photos, I'll be able to post some projects! I can't wait!

BOTTEGA VENETA INTRECCIATO NAPPA BUCKET BAGCategories:Other Brands
Bucket bags and backpacks were really not famous two years ago but recently, they are becoming the holy grails of bags. Knowing its demand in the fashion market, Bottega Veneta thought of creating their very own version of the bucket bag in the form of the Intrecciato Nappa Bucket Bag.
What's surprising about this bucket bag design from this Italian luxury powerhouse is that it has the feminine soft pleated sides, a smooth leather drawstring with metal loops and chain. Women can also choose among its four colors: peony, vesuvio, pacific and nero. The charming color selection will make it hard for its customers to choose just one.
This bucket bag also features functionality with its double handle and adjustable shoulder straps thus making it perfect to wear cross-body or just over the shoulder. It measures 28′ x 24.5′ x 14.0′ (W x H x D) cm and comes with a price of $3550 USD or €2950 euro via Bottega Veneta e-store.

Bottega Veneta Olimpia Intrecciato Leather & Python Top-Handle Bag: Master ClassCategories:Other Brands
Bottega Veneta has done it again. This is such a special and truly unique bag that represents everything the house has to offer, from authoritative detailing to expert workmanship to obvious beauty. The use of intrecciato is nothing new, to say the least, but the Olimpia has something really remarkable going on: double rows of different weaves, as well as perfect, knot-style stitching nestled in between those two symmetrical portions of weave and the center panel of glossy python.
The strap is the ideal length to go over the shoulder just as easily as you can carry it as a top-handle bag, and it comes in at a nice size with an easy, open interior. Given all the artistry and craftsmanship, as well as the python involved, it's a worthy investment. Compare it to a Chanel classic flap or Boy bag, coming in at the same price but in all leather with no finery or keen details. At least none like this. I don't want to go so far as to say it's a steal, but I'm willing to bet in five years, you will be glad you picked this piece up now. Just take a look at in person; marveling at this masterpiece up-close gave me goosebumps and a rush of profuse joy. If that's not worth an investment, I don't know what is. Bottega Veneta Olimpia

Cheryl Cole Supports Gay Marriage
U.K. government officials have recently announced that they are going to give gay partners who have entered into civil unions the same rights as heterosexual married couples, and Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole is backing their decision.
"Marriage is far more than a man and a woman, you know. It's a bond for life and whether you're gay or straight or whatever, it makes no difference to being married," said Cole to the U.K.'s Gaydar Radio. "What marriage stands for is that you love that person."
Confused by the lack of support from religious groups about the government officials' plans, Cole continued, "You want to commit yourself to that person forever. All the rights that a marriage gives you, why should the fact that you are attracted to the same sex make that any different? It makes no sense to me. The same relationship, the same beliefs … it's crazy. I don't understand why it's even a big deal!"
It shouldn't be much of a surprise to know that she has come out in support of gay rights. Cole has a large gay following, but even despite that, it's awesome for her to be publicly voicing her opinion in the fight for gay rights. We're with ya, Cheryl!

I was asking my students to point out for me, or find for me if they could, depictions of Adam and Eve by women artists prior to the nineteenth century (I'd thought of Suzanne Valadon). My notion was that the subject was perhaps one that involved too much naked man to be quite feasible for the woman artist to undertake, at least until the 19th century.
But I failed completely to think of one special category of female artist that valiantly, methodically and with epic concentration undertook the subject time and again: little girls working their samplers.
Why Adam and Eve were so favoured as a design element in the sampler is worth pondering. Paradise allowed lots of attendant animals, and they were fun to stitch. Adam and Eve were part of children's iconography – in part because their homes might not feature much pictorial material (a less pious household might have some ballad sheets with woodblock prints pasted up on the privy walls). But Adam and Eve popped up everywhere – often they appear on title pages of Bibles. For the German market at least, cut out and paste Genesis I-III pictures were available.
One could take a grave view of this, that the little daughters of Eve were being made to focus on her role in bringing sin into the world. It is possible that some of the earlier women writers about Adam and Eve – I am thinking of Lucy Aitken, and possibly further back to women of the 17th century like Lucy Hutchinson and Ester Sowernam - may have had to demonstrate their skill with the needle in working Eve and her husband , and what they slowly worked onto the linen they also stitched into their minds as a subject they'd want to return to and say more about.
But there may have been, short of effects of indoctrination, some fun to be had in working these figures. It was probably fun to be judicious about doing the naked figures with suitable decency, and the serpent was a joy to work, wriggling in the tree.
On the wonderful Google Art Project, several such samplers can be seen. On the 18th of April 1737 Margaret Grant began her work, aged just nine. Perhaps the materials for making her sampler were a birthday present. She will use silk and linen threads in many colours, it's a big project, with an outlay involved. It's easy to imagine that work on the sampler inaugurated the girl's own sewing box, and her mother passing on some material, but also buying new to set the project off to a good start.
But Margaret, obviously a painstaking child, went far beyond the usual proof of being able to read in displaying the conventional elements in a sampler of an alphabet and her name: she included a whole poem
Neither the Google Art Project nor the Museum that holds the item http://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18564339/ seems to have identified the poem, but it is easily found, being Francis Quarles' 'On Adam':
How soon, poore Adam, was thy Freedome lost!
Forfeit to death ere thou hadst time to boast;
Before thy Triumph, was thy Glory done,
Betwixt a rising and a setting Sun:
How soon that ends, that should have ended never!
Thine eyes nere slept, untill they slept for ever.
The poem was first published in Quarles' Divine Fancies in 1632, but that was an astonishingly popular work, going through edition after edition. (On EEBO I see 1632, 33, 41, 52, 53, 57, 58, 60, 64, 65, 71, 75, there might have been more, clearly if a 17th century household had a book of verse, it was quite likely to be this). Resonantly gloomy, the poem briefly expresses (and finds relish in expressing) the commonly agreed view that Adam and Eve fell on their first day in Paradise. It's not a view that enhances anyone's sense of God's sense of proportion, but it seems as though anxiety about Adam and Eve sleeping together, and immediately conceiving a child while sinless, alarmed everyone to thinking it was all over between 9am and 3pm (or similar). There was also that inveterate desire to read the Old Testament typologically, so the sequence of events in the original sin must match the time taken for Christ to die on the Cross, in redeeming that sin.
Lord; if our Father Adam could not stay
In his upright perfection, one poor day;
How can it be expected, we have power
To hold out Siege, one scruple of an hour …
In his upright perfection, one poor day;
How can it be expected, we have power
To hold out Siege, one scruple of an hour …
exclaims Quarles in his Meditation 21 ("See, how the crafty Serpent, twists and windes / Into the brest of man!", etc).
A nine year old slowly stitches out this horrible 'wisdom', product of so much hard-driven extrapolation from the Bible. Quarles, wanting a strongly conclusive final couplet, leaves Adam dead and unredeemed, a first man who lost his freedom before he could formulate an appreciation of it, and who never knew any triumph.
Well, at least it wasn't a verse about Eve…

The European Commission has moved to reduce the number of hazardous products entering the EU market with new regulatory proposals.
Antonio Tajani, the European enterprise and industry commissioner, and health and consumer Commissioner Tonio Borg, announced the proposals in Brussels this week.
The double package contains measures aimed at shoring up product safety and market surveillance.
"We're talking about a market, consumer products, worth about €1 trillion per year, excluding food", Tajani told reporters on Wednesday (13 February).
"The vast majority of these products are safe but not always," he said.
Every year hundreds of hazardous products, including those with banned chemicals and toys presenting a choke risk to children, enter the EU market.
In 2011, consumers activated the European rapid alert system, RAPEX, 1,556 times to indicate the presence of dangerous products on the market, Tajani said.
Some 27% of the cases concerned clothes and textiles, 21% toys, 11% motor vehicles, 8% household appliances, and 7% cosmetics.
The proposal contains measures for improved traceability. Should the European Parliament and member states adopt the proposal, manufacturers will be obliged to state the country of origin, name, and address on the packaging of all consumer products.
Currently around 10% of the unsafe goods found on the EU market are of unknown origin.
"With the new requirement, dangerous products can be more easily traced back to the source, and cooperation with the market surveillance authorities of the country of origin can help stop dangerous products from reaching the market," Borg said.
Import risks
Much of the risk derives from goods entering the EU from third countries.
"Better coordination of product safety checks, especially at the EU external borders, will eliminate unfair competition from dishonest or criminal rogue operators", Tajani said.
Currently, if one member state approves the sale of a product the manufacturer is free to distribute it throughout the EU.
"If an unsafe consumer good enters the single market, it can be freely sold to more than 500 million people", the director-general of the European consumer group BEUC, Monique Goyens, said in a statement.
"This is a prime example of European action being necessary to properly protect consumers in all 27 member states. National measures alone are not coping with the scale of risk. A consumer's passport should not determine whether the product one buys is safe or not", she said.
While the new regulatory proposals do not concern food, product regulation and traceability is a hot issue amongst EU regulators since tests revealed that many meat dishes on the EU market are mislabeled.
"Today's plans include valuable improvements. Manufacturers will be required to improve the traceability of their products. The Commission will be able to take specific actions against products including a permanent sales ban. This chance to make products sold in Europe safer should not be missed by Member States and the European Parliament", said BEUC Director-General Monique Goyens.
RAPEX, the EU's rapid alert system for dangerous products, has its legal basis in a 2001 directive on product safety and a January 2010 regulation on accreditation and market surveillance.
A regulation extended the application of RAPEX as of 1 January 2010 to both 'consumer' and 'professional' products - and to new risks like the environment, health and safety in the workplace and public security – to complement its original remit of protecting the health and safety of consumers.
Participants in the scheme include all 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
In December 2008, the EU adopted a revised version of its Toy Safety Directive, updating European safety law to take into account developments in the modern toy industry.
The new legislation, which was first tabled by the European Commission in January of that year, replaced a 1988 directive on the issue in the light of new product development and improvements in scientific knowledge of chemical substances.

Absolutely breathtaking-Expectant mother has maternity photo shoot that includes late husband
A picture may be worth 1,000 words, but one mother hopes to give her children a maternity photo shoot that is priceless.
That's because Nicole Bennett has incorporated her late husband Deonta in the pictures, after unexpectedly losing him just two months before her due date.
It had been Deonta's idea to do a maternity shoot with Nicole and their 4-year-old son Landen before her March 25 due date.
Nicole Bennett, of Jackson, Mississippi, incorporated her late husband Deonta in her maternity photo shoot
It had been Deonta's idea to do a maternity shoot with Nicole and their 4-year-old son Landen before her March 25 due date
And now Nicole is hoping the pictures will remind her children of the wonderful man they lost.
'I wanted to do something special because he's been there for my son since day one,' she told ABC News.
'It's memories for my son of his father and for my daughter who will never meet her father, it's memories for her as well.'
Nicole, of Jackson, Mississippi, told photographer Sidney Conley of the idea and they shot the photographs late February.
He passed away unexpectedly just two months before Nicole's due date
Conley then digitally added images of Deonta to the photos. He said the effect brought him to tears.
'Just how I edited [the photos] with him looking down on them, it's showing that he's making sure they're okay.'
Nicole said the photos were 'perfect', reminding her of the man who made everyone laugh at their engagement shoot.
The photos have since been shared nearly 100,000 times on Conley's Facebook page. He is also on Instagram.

What a good excuse to do this meme/challenge thingy stolen from BDQ.
1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.
My list – Tformers fandom, of course:
1 Optimus Prime
2 Starscream
3 Beachcomber
4 Sunstreaker
5 Sideswipe
6 Ironhide
7 Ratchet
8 Tracks
9 Thundercracker
10 Prowl
First time, 4 and 6 - Sunstreaker, Ironhide
"Let me teach you, youngster," Ironhide murmured, as he loomed over his handsome, yellow berthmate.
Angst, 7 - Ratchet
Was this his fifth cube, or fiftieth? Who cares? No one loves a failure.
AU, 1 and 8 - Optimus Prime, Tracks
Optimus stroked the shiny wings. "Did you know that I'm partial to the color blue?"
Threesome, 3, 6, and 9 - Beachcomber, Ironhide, Thundercracker
" 'Hide, dude. That's so not cool."
"Cain't help it – shiny."
"Hey, stop touching my wings!"
Hurt/Comfort, 5 and 10 - Sideswipe, Prowl
"I'm sorry, Prowl, I didn't mean it like that."
"Please leave."
"I'm sorry…."
"Get out!"
Crack, 1 - Optimus Prime
Optimus swayed drunkenly on his barstool. "Eighty-three cubes of Energon on the wall…." ♪ ♫
Horror, 10 - Prowl
Unable to process the massacre of his troops, Prowl's logic center welcomed him into oblivion.
Baby!fic, 5 and 9 - Sideswipe, Thundercracker
"You're WHAT?!?"
"You heard me, Thundercracker. Make room, I'm defecting with our sparkling."
Dark, 2 and 8 - Starscream, Tracks
Tracks screamed as his wings were deliberately ripped off.
"You don't deserve the sky, Autoscum."
Romance, 4 and 7 - Sunstreaker, Ratchet
"Sunstreaker, you are amazing."
"I know."
"Remind me to thank Ironhide when I can move."
Deathfic 2 and 3 - Starscream, Beachcomber
"Please, help me," Beachcomber pleaded.
"I'll help you Autobot," Starscream sneered. "Right to the Matrix!"
This was tougher than I thought it would be. All I can say is - thank primus for contractions!
I liked the Sunny and Hide for the first time, which segued very nicely into my fav romantic pairing.
Angsty Ratchet should have been easy. But I kept coming up with too many words trying to describe a death situation. So I changed the pace and went with the [unsuccessful] aftermath.
OP and Tracks – what can I say. I kind of like the idea of them as a pair. Hmmm….
Beachcomber was a wrench in the works. I had a hard time fitting his personality into the prompts. But I could totally picture Ironhide molesting TC.
Sideswipe and Prowl's was more of hurt/refuse comfort. Maybe comfort comes later.
Can't get much crackier than a drunken OP singing. Made myself laugh.
Prowl's horror was the last prompt that I did. I just couldn't come up with a description of anything that was truly horrible. And using the words 'welcome[d] to oblivion' made me think of 'Rocky Horror Picture Show', which made me laugh and took me out of the horror mindset. No wonder this was the worse prompt.
Sides and TC. Well, ya gotta figure with all that groping going on during jet judo, something had to have come out of it!
Both Starscreams came out incredibly evil. Which surprised me a bit, I generally like to think of him as misunderstood. But, he is quite possessive of the skies.
The deathfic also gave me problems. I needed about 10 more words to say what I really wanted. I was going to have them be the last 2 bots on Earth, but Star finally decided he wanted to be alone.
This was fun. I would like to try it with another fandom, but I don't know if I could come up with 10 characters that I could coherently write about. I'd have to wait a bit so I can forget the prompts.
Let's see…um, Predator is a possibility…maybe Anita Blake. Ooh, how about Rocky Horror or Rachel Morgan. Yeah, when I have time. I have too many stories going on. When will I learn – one at a time.

- Current Mood: sick

2018 Preview
2018 Preview
By Timothy J. Power, CEO
It's time for my annual preview for the year ahead.
As I discussed last year at this time, I did not think the Clean Power Plan (CPP) was likely to survive. As a reminder, the CPP basically called for states to shut down their coal (and some gas) plants, many of which have many years of useful life left. Since most of these existing investments have not been paid off yet, the bill for adding more energy plants (that emit less carbon dioxide) before the current ones are paid for would fall on us, the rate payers. The cost to rate payers was projected to be many billions of dollars. Today, the Trump administration is still dismantling the CPP and the courts will be weighing in sometime in 2018. In the end, we will likely get a watered down version of CPP or no CPP at all. But CPP's demise isn't likely to save the coal industry. As older coal plants come to the end of their useful lives, they are not being replaced by newer coal plants; instead, we are seeing more gas, solar, and wind generation each year.
As for DS&O projects, here are a few we will be working on …
Peak Generator – In 2016 we installed a 1 MW peak generator in Solomon to help us avoid about $150,000 in annual peak demand power costs. In 2017 we added another (smaller) generator, which saved us an additional $50,000. And in 2018, due to a change in our power supply contract with KEPCo, we plan to up our total generation to 2.5 MW, saving us nearly $350,000 in power costs.
Line Work – We plan to replace almost 40 miles of power line across our system. We will also continue our tree trimming program to maintain clean right of ways for our lines.
Safety Demonstrations – Just like last year, DS&O linemen will continue to conduct high-voltage safety demonstrations for various groups. We plan to have at least a dozen demonstrations in 2018. If you would like to schedule an event or need more information, please give us a call.
Residential Peak Reduction Program – In 2017 we conducted a very successful residential peak reduction pilot program where program participants did not pay Red Zone rates and also received a financial incentive whenever we cut their power. We will be expanding the program in 2018. Stay tuned for more details in the months ahead.
New Metering System Pilot Program – We are planning a pilot program for a new type of metering system. The new system will provide more timely data and serve as a replacement for our current metering system, which will need to be replaced in the near future.

This outwardly light Egyptian comedy contains serious undertones that sternly condemn the corrupt politics and religious extremism that filmmaker Sherif Arafa believes is destroying his country.

The story centers on his representation of Samira, a woman up on prostitution charges whom Imam defends.

I played in my first tournament tonight since I last posted that I was going to re-start my poker career. Well guess what? I made the final table and cashed!
It was a lot of fun. I played OK, and it felt good to be back. The cash was just icing (and it wasn't much). I'm going to take this as a good omen for this new endeavour. I'm looking forward to Vegas in a couple of weeks where I will have a chance to play a lot tournaments and celebrate Stevie Gorgol's 40th.

Pregnancy comes with various physical and chemical changes, which can vary from mother to mother. At CBD Physio we provide pregnancy physiotherapy and massages, which offer natural relief to some of the aches and pains that pregnancy can bring.
Pregnancy massage is a safe and calming technique which is tailored to address the specific needs of the mother-to-be. The reduction of stress hormones which pre-natal massage achieves helps prepare the body for a calmer delivery and also lessen the likelihood of encountering complications.
Our experienced physiotherapists offer a range of massages including deep tissue massage, remedial massage and the popular Swedish massage. The type of pregnancy massage comes down to personal preference; however, all three types of massage result in similar benefits.
The benefits of pregnancy massage include:
- Reduces stress hormones and promote the release of dopamine and serotonin
- The reduction of stress hormones will encourage better sleeping
- Removes swelling around joints and stimulates lymphatic drainage to boost circulation
- Helps to soothe the discomfort that can accompany some pregnancy lower back pain and heaviness in the pelvic bones, leg cramps, swelling of the ankles and feet and oedema (fluid retention)
- Improves nerve pain (sciatica) which is common during pregnancy and brought on by weight bearing
Is it for pregnancy physiotherapy me?
Pregnancy massage is not for everyone; we recommend that you check with your GP who will assess your background health and see if there is any chance pregnancy massage will pose a threat to you or your baby's health.
To keep your baby safe, we recommend that pregnancy massage is undertaken only after 12 weeks, just as an extra precaution.
Contact us and speak to one of our experienced team to book a pregnancy physiotherapy session today!
To make an appointment call 02 9223 3122 or come past our clinic in the heart of the Sydney CBD.
