What you won't be playing this year...
So the game's been delayed, but the real question that everyone is wondering is why? The official word from Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick is that the game was delayed because it "was the right decision for the product." CEO Ben Feder also stated that "it was essential to invest the additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what its fans expect and deserve."
Jesse Divnich, the Director of Analyst Services for Electronic Entertainment Design and Research believes that this is a very smart move for Take-Two. He believes that while Take-Two would have done just fine in fiscal 2010 previously, the delay will allow them to "dominate," and the release of BioShock 2 alongside Max Payne 2, Red Dead Redemption, Mafia II, and new GTA IV DLC will make fiscal 2010 "the year of Take-Two."
The holiday season is looking lighter, but next year just got another big release.
Anthony says: As an enthusiast of games I can say that delays suck. However, as a person who has seen games from their earliest stages all the way to completion, I can say that sometimes a little extra time is the difference between a great and mediocre game. There's still a ton of great-looking games coming out in 2009, so if I have to wait till 2010 to play BioShock 2 so that they can create a better product then so be it.

I saw an article last week on Accu-Weather's website about 2011 being the year of urban tornadoes.
Alex Sosnowski, who wrote the article, attributed the large number of tornadoes in populated areas this year to chance, an eastward shift in the springtime jet stream, and the growth of populated areas.
The first of those reasons is obvious -- bad luck.
The jet stream that carried storm systems this spring crossed the South in April and early May, then moved northward later in May. Typically, that air current passes over the Great Plains during the spring, bringing twisters to the so-called Tornado Alley.
Instead, the twisters hit Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia early in the season, then slipped northward across Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts afterward.
All of those 15 states have heavily populated areas, and killer tornadoes struck populated areas like Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Dallas, Jackson, Bristol (Va.), Raleigh, Joplin (Mo.), and Springfield (Mass.), among other places.
I wrote earlier this year -- strangely, just a few days before the Raleigh-area tornadoes -- that twisters sometimes strike populated areas. In many people's minds, tornadoes are a rural event, and that's because they're so common in the sparsely populated areas of the Midwest.
Looking back through the archives, here are a few other killer storms that struck populated areas:
-- A tornado in May 1840, killed 340 people in Natchez, Miss. At the time, Natchez was still a major trading center in the region. Most of those killed (269) were on flatboats in the Mississippi River.
-- In May 1896, a tornado ripped through St. Louis, killing 255. Officials say the death toll might have exceeded 400, with many people being killed on boats in the Mississippi River. But their bodies were never found.
-- A June 1953 twister in Flint, Mich., left 115 dead.
-- And the day after the Flint tornado, a twister in Worcester, Mass., had a death toll of 94. Tornadoes aren't common in Massachusetts, but the 1953 storm and the twister last week are proof that they can take place anywhere (yes, there's even been a tornado in Alaska).

Really interesting that they have hit these populated areas this year. I wonder if there will be new emergency protocol after all is said and done. Maybe people won't be so quick to get mad when a weather bulletin interupts 3 minutes of American Idol.

Sharpening and Honing Blades with Howard Schechter. #1324-0428. 1 day.
Sharpening and honing of blades is a mystery to most people these days although our ancestors knew the skill intimately. Technology of honing has definitely improved over the past 100 years and there are many technologies to choose from. Howard will demystify the sharpening process and you will leave the workshop with the skills to sharpen your own blades. Students should bring one or two blades to hone for the class.
NOTE: Come prepared to work in a dirty process so wear work or old clothes. Closed toe shoes required.

A newly published study has uncovered a previously unknown family of songbirds that is represented by just one species. After analyzing one of the largest and most comprehensive songbird DNA databases amassed so far, researchers recovered ten distinct avian family branches in the Passerida songbird family tree, including the newly identified family, represented by the spotted wren-babbler, which lives in Asia. The data reveal that the spotted wren-babbler is neither a wren nor a wren-babbler and in fact, it has no close living relatives at all. The researchers concluded that the spotted wren-babbler is the sole representative of a unique avian family that is the earliest surviving evolutionary offshoot in Passerida.
We know more about birds than we know about any other animal group on Earth. Even on the remotest places on the planet, someone seems to be studying, filming, photographing, feeding, hunting, or watching birds. So you might think that birds have no big secrets left for us to discover.
If you think this, then you would be wrong.
A newly-published study has uncovered a surprise: a previously unknown family of songbirds that is represented by just one species. This songbird is the spotted wren-babbler, Elachura formosa (formerly Spelaeornis formosus), a little brown bird that is so shy that it's heard more often than seen as it goes about its business in dense moist forests throughout the mountains of tropical and subtropical Asia (figure 1, larger view):
This discovery was reported by an international team of researchers led by Per Alström, Associate Professor at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala and Visiting Professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. This group of scientists are working to clarify our understanding of the evolutionary history of Asian songbirds, particularly those that reside in the Himalaya Mountains.
Since DNA technology is becoming more accessible and computers are getting faster at analysing the large DNA datasets used to reconstruct phylogenies (family trees), our understanding of the evolutionary relationships amongst birds has repeatedly -- and sometimes dramatically -- changed during the past ten years. Many of these changes have been within the (mostly) Old World group of songbirds that are collectively known as "babblers".
Building upon previous molecular research, which recognises five lineages, or "clades", of babblers -- Timaliidae (Old World babblers), Leiotrichidae, Pellorneidae (ground babblers), Zosteropidae (white-eyes) and Sylviidae (Old World Warblers) -- the team collected DNA samples from representatives of all known families within the large songbird radiation, Passerida, which encompasses the five major lineages that they were targeting.
The team also included samples from some birds, particularly the Spelaeornis species -- the so-called "wren-babblers" -- that have baffled ornithologists for decades. For example, only in 2007 was it realised that Spelaeornis comprised eight species instead of five (Collar & Robson). Further, one of those newly-recognised species, the spotted wren-babbler, Spelaeornis formosus, had sufficiently distinctive morphology and vocalisations to remove it to a monotypic genus, Elachura.
But did the team expect more big surprises from this tiny chocolate-brown bird?
"The first [spotted wren-babbler] sample that we sequenced, from northeastern India ... appeared in a totally unexpected position, [so] we decided to collect more samples", said Professor Alström in email. Based upon this unanticipated finding, Professor Alström's team had a hunch that they might find something interesting if they investigated more thoroughly.
The team assembled one of the largest DNA sequence datasets ever amassed for the Passerida group, both in number of species and loci represented, and analysed those data to reconstruct a multilocus family tree (figure 2; larger view):
As expected, their reconstructed family tree recovered the four superfamilies (Sylvioidea [red], Muscicapoidea [blue], Certhioidea [greyish-blue] and Passeroidea [pink]) with strong statistical support. Also well-supported were five smaller clades (representing Remizidae+Paridae [dark red], Stenostiridae [orange], Hyliotidae [the small red line under the orange Stenostiridae], the 'bombycillids' (Bombycillidae, Hylocitreidae, Ptilogonatidae and Dulidae [greenish-blue]), Regulidae [yellow]) -- no surprises there.
But as you can clearly see, the hero of our story, the cute little spotted wren-babbler, Spelaeornis formosus, perches alone on a thin, bare twig amongst all these big basal branches (see the blue box on the far right, or refer to the closer look below, where that very special blue box appears near the bottom on the right side of the image):
Now that was a surprise. These data reveal that the spotted wren-babbler apparently typifies an old lineage within this larger passerine family tree -- a lone species representing a relictual avian family with no close living relatives.
"Within Passerida, which contains [approximately] 36 percent of all birds and 60 percent of all passerines, the spotted wren-babbler is unique, as it is the only extant species that on its own represents one of the most basal lineages", write the authors in their paper, which was just published in the peer-reviewed journal, Biology Letters.
"I doubt that we'll find another species that belongs in the same family. So the Elachura [spotted wren-babbler] is likely to be a true loner", said Professor Alström in email.
So how did this one tiny songbird manage to fool so many taxonomic experts and ornithologists for more than 100 years? Thanks to the wonders of convergent evolution, unrelated species evolve to resemble each other because they occupy similar niches. (Think: sharks and dolphins.) When convergent evolution occurs within a group of rapidly radiating animals, such as songbirds, it becomes very difficult, or just plain impossible, to determine which characters are most important for making taxonomic classifications.
Has Professor Alström ever seen this bird alive?
"Yes, I've seen it several times, both in India and China. It's extremely difficult to watch, as it inhabits dense undergrowth, often in little gullies on very steep mountain slopes", replied Professor Alström in email.
"All of the ones that I've seen I've first noticed by their distinctive song."
[Reading on a mobile device? Here's the audio link]
In their paper, the researchers proposed the new family name, Elachuridae, and recommended that the scientific name Elachura formosa be officially adopted. They also suggested that the bird's English common name be changed to Elachura. Yet despite all these big changes, this diminutive bird still retains its spots.
"It seems unlikely to me that we'll discover any other such unique lineages", said Professor Alström in email.
"[B]ut there is still much to be learnt about relationships among different bird species, and I'm sure there are still lots of surprises to be found."

Electricity consumers, especially from South Mumbai, will now be able to choose their power supplier after the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) dismissed BrihanMumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST's) appeal challenging Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC's) licence to Tata Power.
The consumers, currently served by BrihanMumbai Electric Supply and Transport's (BEST), can also expect a competitive power tariff.
MERC had granted a distribution licence to Tata Power up to August 2039. Tata Power was entitled to supply power in BEST areas too, between Colaba/Cuffe Parade and Sion/Mahim areas of Mumbai.
APTEL in its judgement delivered on November 25 said Tata Power had met the conditions for credit worthiness and capital adequacy for the entire area of supply.
It added that the issue of Tata Power supplying electricity to areas currently served by BEST will be considered separately in BEST's appeal pending before it.
A Tata Power spokesperson told Business Standard, "BEST had filed an appeal in APTEL against the order of MERC issuing transmission license and distribution license to the company for the next 25 years with effect from August 16, 2014. This appeal has been dismissed yesterday by APTEL."
BEST officials could not be reached for comments.
BEST, which is an undertaking of the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation(BMC) engaged in power supply and transport, in its appeal filed against MERC and Tata Power had argued that MERC should not have granted Tata Power the distribution licence as its previous performance was inadequate.
Besides, BEST said MERC had erred in holding that network roll out can be prescribed as a subsequent specific condition and argued that the same has to be approved before the grant of licence.
BEST during public hearing conducted by MERC had said Tata Power's entry in its area will endanger its existence and over 47,000 employees will be jobless. It had added that it will also lose major high-end consumers, especially industrial and commercial consumers to Tata Power, adversely impacting its finances.
MERC while granting distribution licence to Tata Power in its order on August 14, 2014 had directed Tata Power to submit a network roll out plan in six weeks.
Incidentally, Tata Power has already launched an investment plan of Rs 1,879 crore for a backbone network spread across its entire license area. The company is creating capacity to serve more than 1.4 million consumers by FY 2018-19. Out of 1.4 million potential consumer network capacity, more than 800,000 network capacity would be around the slum dominated areas.
BEST has a consumer base of 1.05 million while Tata Power supplies power to over 5,00,000 customers in its area of operation of about 475 sq km in Mumbai. Reliance Infrastructure is the third major distributor with a consumer base of nearly 2.9 million. The state run Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MahaVitaran) has little presence in north eastern suburbs of Mulund and Thane.

I'm having an issue with my nav lights. As it stands, the starboard light works but the port does not. At the back of the dash I noticed that one of the wires from the port light had disconnected. The wiring colours are all over the shop, but I think it's the negative wire which is supposed to be connected to some sort of ground buss?
Anyway I held the wire to the buss and turned the nav lights on, but the fuse blew.
I'm stuck...

Re: Nav light issue
If you are sure you've located the 2 port light cables at the helm and the neg cable blows the fuse then there's a high chance the problem is either a short in the cable or a short in the lamp fitting.
First I'd open up the lamp and check there.

Re: Nav light issue
Good chance it has a short in the cable/light and the previous owner/mechanic just disconnected it but never fixed it.

HARARE - From the chaotic land reform programme of 2000 right to the bedlam caused by the Indigenisation law and now the schools new curriculum confusion — the Zanu PF government has proved beyond measure to be past-masters of doing the unthinkable.
Under President Robert Mugabe's rule, disorder has been the order of the day as half-thought policies are shovelled down our throats with no proper consideration of their consequences.
Indeed, Mugabe has shown that he is a chaotic leader whose sole persuasion is power retention, never mind the disaster spawned by his populist and self-serving policies.
While land reform was long overdue and essentially sought to correct historical imbalances on land occupation — it was, however, implemented in a hurried and chaotic manner which has no doubt led to a sharp decline in agricultural productivity as well as wanton destruction of property by land invaders.
Today, the country — at one time the bread-basket of southern Africa — has become a basket case with its citizens perennially faced with hunger.
Failing to learn from the land reform disaster, Mugabe rail-roaded yet another populist policy in 2008 — the Indigenisation Act — which required that investors cede 51 percent of their stake to locals and the results were an unprecedented investor flight and the subsequent death of local industry and company closures as foreign-owned companies looked elsewhere safe to put their money.
It should be noted that the two policies, controversial as they are, are essential if we are to redistribute wealth and try to empower locals who have been historically disempowered even on the land of their forefathers, but it is always the manner these noble policies are pursued by Zanu PF that confirms violence and chaos are the hallmark of Mugabe's rule.
Now coming to the hot potato surrounding the new curriculum in schools, government does not seem to have done its homework properly and is now proving its propensity to cause unnecessary pandemonium in the country.
While the new curriculum is progressive as it responds to a constantly changing world, consultation was limited and some of its requirements are untenable because most Zimbabweans are poor. Worse still, in rural areas, parents cannot afford to bankroll all their children's needs.
The Education ministry must have consulted comprehensively — far and wide — and implemented the new curriculum gradually, otherwise the commendable efforts contained in the Nziramasanga Commission report of 1999 will all be in vain.

Don't let Excel yell at us, if we accidentally enter a duplicate value in a column. Okay, maybe Excel isn't really yelling, but it seems like that when a data validation error message pops onto the screen. Instead of letting people pick a duplicate, use this trick to hide used items in a worksheet drop down list. You can't pick an item if it isn't there!
Hide Used Items
With data validation, it's easy to make a drop down list of names, or weekdays, or products, or whatever else you need. Then, instead of typing, just pick from the list.
Allow Multiple Uses
Sometimes duplicates are okay – if you sell Pens, it's okay to add that product to any row where it was sold.
Use Items Once
But sometimes you only want an item used once. For example, if you're coaching a baseball team, each player is assigned to one position at the start of the inning.
In the drop down list shown below, Mike was assigned as the pitcher, so his name doesn't show up in the list now. Somebody else will have to be the catcher.
Or, if you're creating a work schedule, employees should only be scheduled once per day.
In the next drop down list, Fred and Joe have been assigned, so their names aren't in the list now.
Formulas Remove Used Items
To hide the used items, some fancy formulas are used on another worksheet.
In column B, names that have a number have not been used.
Then, in column C, an array formula sorts the names by those numbers, so that moves blank cells to the end of the list.
The names in column C are used for the drop down list.
Dependent Drop Downs
You can use this technique with dependent drop down lists too. In the example shown below, choose a type in column A.
Then, choose a related item in column B, but if an item has been used, like SI-02, it is removed from the drop down list.
Get the Workbook
You can get the detailed instructions, and sample workbook, on the Hide Used Items page on my Contextures website.
There are four example files to download, and no macros in the workbooks.

Please Choose a Category...
Cartridge Refill Service
What types of cartridges can be refilled?
We currently refill the top HP, Canon, Epson and Brother cartridges.
Why doesn't your service support my cartridge?
In order to provide the lowest price possible, we are currently limiting our service to the cartridges that represent the majority of the market.
How long does it take to refill a cartridge?
Cartridges are ready in an hour depending on the quantity dropped off and the current volume. We will give you a pick up time based on service volume.
How much ink do I get in a refill?
We closely match or exceed the amount of ink you get in a new cartridge.
Can I refill my cartridge here even if I have already refilled it somewhere else?
As long as your cartridge is in good working order, we will refill it for you.
Is there a recommended usage date for a refilled cartridge?
A refilled integrated printhead cartridge (found in all 2-cartridge printer models) should be used within 90 days of refill, and remain in the plastic clip until ready for use. A refilled individual ink tank/cartridge (found in all 4, 5, and 6 cartridge printer models) may be used up to 1 year from the refill date.
Cartridge Refilling & Care
What are the advantages of a refilled cartridge?
You save money on your purchase AND it is good for the environment since the cartridge is reused. With our machine-controlled fill process and a well-cared for cartridge, you will get excellent quality for less than buying a new cartridge.
When should I refill a cartridge?
We recommend that you refill a cartridge as soon as the print quality begins to degrade. Continuing to print a cartridge that is running dry will damage it and reduce the possibility of the cartridge being refilled.
How many times can I refill a cartridge?
The number of refills depends on many factors but, the most important is how well you take care of your cartridge. A well cared for integrated cartridge can be refilled multiple times. Whereas individual ink tanks/cartridges (i.e. those found in all 4, 5 and 6 cartridge-based printers) can be refilled over and over again until the cartridge becomes damaged or leaks.
What is the proper way to handle a cartridge?
As soon as you remove the cartridge from your printer, place it into a plastic clip. This will protect the cartridge and prevent it from drying out. If you do not have the clip, place 1 to 3 cartridges in a letter sized envelope. Be careful not to rub print heads together when transporting. Never touch, clean or place tape over the print head nozzles. Keep in a cool place. Bring the cartridge to your Costco Photo Centre for refilling as soon as possible after removing it from your printer.
Refill Quality
How do I know that the cartridge will work in my printer?
Each cartridge is tested after refilling to verify that ink is flowing through the nozzles correctly.
Is the ink the same quality as an original HP, Canon, Epson or Brother cartridge?
Ink quality does make a difference in print quality. We use cartridge specific ink to closely match the original manufacturers colours and to ensure the highest possible output quality for each cartridge type.
Will I get similar results to a new cartridge?
Yes, the results you will get from a refilled cartridge will closely match the results of a new cartridge. For most consumers, there will be no significant difference in everyday printing quality. Refilling your cartridge is an easy and cost effective way of supplying your printer with ink. Whether printing with new or refilled cartridges, always use inkjet specific paper for best printing results.
What if there is a problem with my cartridge and it can't be refilled?
We can recycle the cartridge for you. Then, just purchase a new cartridge at Costco and bring it to your Costco Photo Centre for a refill the next time you run out of ink.

IKO are providing quality training to support roofing contractors. If you are a registered IKO contractor the opportunities are out there.
Flat, pitched, new build or refurbishment – whatever project you're working on there's no doubt that roofing has a range of products and skillsets to get to grips with. Some, such as hot works, require specialist knowledge, other products need more experience or training. While this can mean that roofing is more susceptible to skills shortages, it also means there's a lot of opportunity out there if you're prepared to take on jobs and step outside of your comfort zone.
The more familiar you are with your market and the products available, the more likely you are to fit appropriately and sell – and with a bigger margin too. You just need to pick a quality product to support you. For example, for projects unsuited to hot works, liquid applied roofing systems, EPDM systems and self-adhesive membranes are all cold applications – however you must ensure these are high quality alternatives and the performance suits the job.
Roofing felt performance can also vary enormously, ranging from commodity '5 year' shed felt options to 10 and 20 year systems used on house extensions, garages, and commercial projects. The bottom line is it's never good to follow a formula, as the most obvious answer may not be right; stop and consider your product solution and you're more likely to get a professional outcome, particularly if it's a type of job you do less frequently.
To help you pick a quality product that's right for the job IKO has several training centres around the country. The company aims to offer approved and registered IKO roofers and contractors a product for every roofing project and the support and training they need to fit it. In addition, their technical support team provides advice on specification and site engineers inspect projects before and after a system has been installed by their approved contractors.
The training uses special rigs to familiarise contractors with installation and application techniques for particular products, tools, good practice and health and safety. When you combine all that with clearer packaging and instructions, design guide brochures and installation videos – it's clear IKO are playing a key role in supporting the skills needed for the whole industry.
IKO's range includes built-up flat roofing systems, pitched roof systems, roofing shingles, liquids and compounds. They recently launched the innovative IKO Enertherm Insulation Board and two new torch-on products: the cost-effective TGX system and the premium Britorch Modified Cap Sheet, which has a 20 year guarantee and can be used with IKO's existing underlays.

Well you know what they say about people with warm feet…
…. got new handknitted cashmerino socks of course! (why? what did you think I meant?)
And yes indeedy verily and all other assertive adverbs – I have finished my Karenina socks:
[Excuse the blue drawing book – it's there to balance the colour so that it photographs acurately]
The observant among you will notice that they both fit, they both have toes, and both the toes are purple. This can mean only one of two possibilities:
(a) I have magic yarn creating powers and can expand the amount of yarn I have to fit the project in hand; or
(b) there was enough yarn for even my clodhoppers.
The answer is to say all hail Alice the provider and Jane the designer – there was enough yarn. [NB if anyone can do (a) please let me know – many people would like to share in that one!]
Do you want to see the leftovers? Of course you do, that's the fun of playing with yarn:
They both look like quite big balls here – mainly because I've been pulling from the centre of the ball so they're hollow. Accordingly to the approximations of my kitchen scales I have just under 10g of the yellow left and less than half an ounce of the purple (an ounce is the smallest graduation on the scales).
The photo of my socks shows how shadow knitting works – you can barely tell there are purple horizontal lines in there! My socks have 19 purl ridges on the cuff and 17 yellow stripes along the bottom of the foot.
So do I look like I could be Russian aristocracy in these socks? I'm now on the second of 5 7-hr segments of Anna Karenina and really enjoying it. Anna is sadly pregnant, Vronski has just killed a horse in a steeplechase and Levin is still living on his farm hankering after Kitty – I fear that as it is a great work of Russian literature there will not be a happy "chick-lit" style ending. If I've read it before I can't remember the story so no spoilers – I'm hanging in for another 26 hours of audio first.
Speaking of audio, and going off on a tangent as usual, if you like audio books to knit to, Simply Knitting (UK knitting mag) is giving away a free downloadable copy of Jane Austen's Persuasion at the moment – I saw the "free audio book" screamer on the cover, turned it over expecting it to be a Catherine Cookson or such-like and when I saw it was Persuasion it fell into the shopping basket – one of my all time favourite books and a treat to look forward to after Anna.
If you like the classics then the other place to try is Librivox – free audio recordings of books on which the copyright has expired. The readers are volunteers and some are excellent and I've reaquainted myself with a number of old favourites recently including The Little Princess, The Prisoner of Zenda, Rupert of Hentzau, the Scarlet Pimpernell and The Importance of Being Earnest, all of which have really excellent readers.
That's all for now but look forward to a tragic and soul wrenching story of a poor sleeve next time

Beef Carpaccio, Western style
I just blogged about beef carpaccio, done Vietnamese style, this week. Well, I'm at it again today. This time, I have the butcher slice it thinly for me, so it's a much more elegant cut than the last time round. Also, I am doing a Western style based on the ingredients used.
Easy to assemble - just a bunch of fresh wild rockets (arugula) and some freshly-shaved Parmesan.
For the dressing, I simply whipped 1 tsp wholegrain mustard with EVOO, 1 tsp aged balsamic vinegar, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

compilation with more on the way. Our goal is to find out which one
is Santa's direct and personal email or the closest to it. To be on the
safe side we recommend mailing to all of the addresses listed below.
We have also discovered sites which claim to have "tracking" capabilities on Christmas Eve. Although how this is possible is yet to be verified, we have provided the links below.
The people at Christmas97.com have managed to get Santa to agree to take a few hours out of his very busy schedule to get on-line and talk with visitors. Here's when he'll be on-line at the Christmas97.com. You can bet the Santa Search I-team will be there asking the tough questions.
Santa will be on-line from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm Eastern

Hotels at the
Hotels reported that more oil washed up this afternoon (20 April) with some guests complaining about the smell in the air and their inability to use the beach and sea facilities.
One diver reported that he and others who went diving yesterday got covered in oil and had to cut their excursion early to clean their equipment. The reports differ along the coastline. One Al Aqah diving company this evening reported "little bits of tar" in the water today that were judged insufficient to cancel their diving instruction classes.
Oil Dumping Saga
During the oil dumping saga of 2008 there were concerns expressed by commentators and fishermen that not enough was being done in surveillance and in apprehending oil tanker captains who dump.
An Opinion piece in The National (15 September 2008) declared that there were 'No Excuses for these Oil Slicks' and judged that current monitoring measures were ineffective and unacceptable.
In this same article, however, the journalist indicated a change of attitude with the

- Sunlounger by Belinda Jones - Short stories by 40+ favourite authors!
Friday, 3 January 2014
I know this seems like an unusual time of year to be posting a review about a book that is perfect beach reading. However, given that the weather is horrible, wet and miserable I thought a book with stories set in warm, far flung places would be perfect to cheer the soul!
Each of the stories, written by a variety of very talented authors is set in different countries and allows the reader to disappear off to exotic places with interesting people, all who find themselves in some unusual situations.
Reading the book reminded me why I love short stories so much. Its the perfect book to dip in and out of whenever you need a bit of escapism. Even now I sometimes get the book out and disappear into a world of sun kissed beaches and swarthy handsome young men! So far I haven't found a story that I didn't enjoy! Each one is incredibly well written. This book gives you the perfect opportunity to get to read the work of some new authors and would certainly encourage me to look for more of their work. Highly recommended. Well done to all the authors for their contributions to this great anthology.
One Response so far.
I'm definitely a fan of short stories, these days! (They're so much fun to write as well!)
Sounds like a great collection, and I've just bought a copy. :)

I dream about my very best woman since I am single, however homes no. I won't ever own one nor have I ever wanted to. If I have been going to dream it, would be a couple of, like a cottage in New England just for fall colours. The first time was when the home was financial institution-owned in 2012 and being proven for an open house. They swoop fairly close around the house although they do not reside anywhere close to us after which in the present day we sat in a chicken shop about to eat rooster and salad for lunch and one flew contained in the Restaurant. Shortly after we bought this property, we planted rows of trees and bushes to act as a windbreak on two of our boundary fences, thinking it would only be necessary to bucket water them for a short time before the wet season arrived and nature took care of them. A easy drum and guitar version with notes and TAB for The House of the Rising Sun Use this with the chords in the picture to do your individual cover model of House of the Rising Sun. Where I currently stay is quite windy, however we don't have trees dropping leaves close to the house.
On March 19 we known as both our native scrapyards to verify their prices and came upon that Lowe Fur & Herb was paying 20 cents extra per pound for scrap steel. The Malibu Dream House would be discontinued with a new advertising campaign making ready to be kicked off in the fall of 2013. We had a bat hanging off the facet of the home this summer time so I know they are around.
Low-value moisture traps and DIY traps are superb for small rooms, caravans, offices etc however they will not be adequate to control the moisture in the whole home. The Twelfth House is dominated by Pisces and is the home of secret sorrows, those you bear alone and by no means tell anyone. When you call in an property agent to promote your house for you, the service you are paying for is that they are going to come round, measure the rooms, take the photos for you, write up the details and lay all of it out for consumers to learn.
The verandah became an integral a part of each home and their use an integral a part of the Australian way of life. This home is all about close private relationships with others, and the way different folks react to our actions. I had a great lender, he took time from his day as a result of he wished the sale and helped me with the settlement.
And the afternoon hikes and the riverside naps and the cowboy lullabies, the tree hung hammocks and the pumpkin pancakes + roasted potatoes & bacon in the morning greater than made up for it contemplating what a rare treat it's to put aside three full days to spend within the slow company of buddies with schedules sometimes unimaginable to match up. But we did.

If you are what you eat, be a unicorn-approved rainbow cookie.
Sometimes, you want to eat a cookie that is beige. Sometimes, you want to eat a cookie that is the color of coffee. But me, I like my cookies the same way I prefer unicorns: full of rainbows and magic.
These cookies are incredibly easy to make, a little old-fashioned (they're based off of the Kaleidoscope Cookies in Betty Crocker's Cooky Book), and totally delicious. They taste more subtle then they look, with a basic, simple, nothin-wrong-so-why-change-it butter cookie flavor. But the look is really what draws you in: a multicolored array of slice and bake cookies that will delight people and have them asking "how'd you do that?".
Well, it's easy. I'll tell you how. Let's make these cookies. Right here, right now.
Easy rainbow cookies
Makes about 40 cookies, maybe more - Printable version here
- 2 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- food coloring
- Sift together the flour and salt; set to the side.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until nice and creamy. Add the sugar, and continue beating until the sugar has been absorbed (employ rubber spatula as needed). Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture in 2-3 additions, mixing on low speed, using the rubber spatula as needed. You're gonna be all "this flour is never all gonna fit in this dough" but trust me, it will.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions (or five, if you're feeling frisky). Tint each one a different color. Go vibrant, because food coloring fades a touch in the oven.
- Divide each tinted portion into two equal parts.
- Grab one portion of each color of dough, and roll each portion into a log about 4 inches long. Press the portions together, firmly, to ensure a seal. Now, roll the multicolored log into one long log, about 12 inches long. Repeat with the remaining dough portions, so you have two logs of dough.
- Wrap each log with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight.
- When you're ready to bake, line 2 baking sheets with parchment and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the dough from the fridge, and let it soften slightly. Slice into "coins", at least 1/4 inch thick, a little thicker if you like fat cookies. If the dough is flaky or the color segments are cracking as you slice, let it soften a few minutes before working with it. (you can also gently smoosh the dough back together).
- Place the coins on the prepared baking sheets--they won't spread much so you can put them fairly close together.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, rotating the pans at the 4 minute mark.
- Once matte on top (it can be hard to tell if they are lightly browned on the sides because of the vibrant colors) remove from the oven. Let the cookies cool on the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Key Photos
Social Media
In The Artist's Studio
Inside the Photographer's Studio... What does a studio say about the photographer who works there?
Nicholas Price's studio is a large open space, where all the creative ideas, campaigns and projects are created and is a reflection of the photographer's eccentric personality and tastes.
Amongst the professional camera equipment, lights, and backdrops, lay the different items from the previous photo shoots, including most recently, a 1920's steamer trunk, Nicholas' one-of- a- kind sculptures and furniture (see photo), his original photographs, canvas walls , a pair of ballet slippers, stiletto shoes, balloons and unsurprisingly, a child's odd toy or two.
Nothing is allowed in this space that doesn't evoke inspiration or creativity.
Nicholas' studio is a separate building and entity to the photography laboratory where the conclusion of the creative ideas take place - the finished hand-printed photograph from the negative. But that is another story for another day.
When the creative process begins for Nicholas, if you have had the privilege granted, it is a fascinating process to watch. Let us take the 1920's steamer trunk for example. Found and purchased in an old antique shop that restored such items, Nicholas brought this trunk into his studio, and in an excited state, cleared the space around it. He then opened the lid and with his eyes closed, deeply inhaled the musty smell of age. He then walks around the trunk, deeply in thought and then closes the lid and sits on the trunk, pondering.
Nicholas then tells me a story of the interesting journey this trunk has taken from the history he has garnered from previous owners - from the train travels on the Orient Express to the high seas journey on an ocean going luxury liner.
He then elaborates further by showing me the fascinating story that this trunk will now embark on in his creative project titled "Trick Trunk"

Quick and dirty recap of my day: Dragged myself out of bed around 9:12 am. Made it to my 10-11:40 am class with a few minutes to spare. Scarfed down a granola bar on my way to volunteer from 12-2:30pm. Another quick bite and then class from 3-9pm. Lost wax casting class. It was awesome.
I was engrossed; I didn't even stop to eat. Ok, what is lost wax casting? Well let me tell you, better yet watch this video here – this is the best and shortest one I could find. Lost wax casting is a process where a metal – gold, silver, copper, bronze, and etc, is cast from a mold made from a wax model. Going in with no experience, it was overwhelming at first. There's all these terms, materials, and machines. Sprues, different waxes, gauges, mixing investment, soldering, the vacuum machine, the kiln, the centrifugal casting machine…wahhh. Read More

Faux floral decor is an easy way to bring lots of color to your decor. Faux floral decor come in endless varieties and can be stored and used for years. Faux florals made from plastic tend to look cheap. Faux florals are higher quality and usually have bolder color and more realistic texture. They last as long as you need, but you can always make a simple change or remove them when you want a new look. In home interior or in special occasions the demand of these florals is at its peak. You don't need to feed them with water, which saves so much water and time of the employees working in the flower store.

Malaysia's Best Beaches
Malaysia's beaches are famous, it goes without saying. Stunning turquoise blue sea, amazing marine life, white sand, and swaying palms – this all comes as standard.
There are countless beaches around the various islands, so how do you know which are the best? You could argue that a beach is a beach, and whilst this is true, some are considerably better than others, and if you're going to travel all that way, at least make it to somewhere that is worth every single air mile!
Here are a few you might like to consider visiting.
On the east coast, Redang is one of the most expensive, yet most popular resorts. The beach here is paradise, with fantastic snorkelling opportunities – you could even see sea turtles! It's quite easy to get to Redang from Kuala Lumpur, making is a good travel opportunity.
Tioman Island
Part of several protected marine park islands, Tioman Island is perfect for experienced snorkelling and diving enthusiasts. Tioman Island is close to Singapore towards the southern part of the east coast and is a very popular area to visit. The beach? Well, think of the description we gave above about Malaysian beaches and double it; the sea is blinding, the sand equally so.
The most touristy island in Malaysia, situated on the west coast. The beaches here aren't the best in the whole area, but I've included it because of how easy it is to visit, and even the beaches here are stunning compared to most other places! The best part of Langkawi is that is isn't affected by the monsoon season, so it is open all year around.
Rawa Island
If you're looking for secluded and quiet on your beach search then Rawa Island is the perfect choice. Situated on the east coast, Rawa Island is known for its blinding white sands and exclusive feel, due to there only being two resorts on the island. Chilled-out indeed!
Sapi Island
Just off the coast of downtown Kota Kinabalu, this is perfect for those who love to kick back and relax in a stunning setting, but also like to cool down with plentiful water sports. The other major plus for Sapi Island's beaches is that they are quite shady in places, so for children, or for anyone who needs a break from the sometimes intense summer heat, this is a good choice.
Basically, think paradise, and you won't be too far away from Malaysia's beaches.

Land of the Film Festival
International, Independent, Shorts, Labor, Jewish, Documentaries, Gay and Lesbian, DC has film festivals throughout the year.
The 18th annual Environmental film festival began last night and runs until the end of March. Many of the movies are from other countries so their embassies and cultural centers screen the flicks for free.
I saw two good ones tonight at the Goethe Institute downtown. The two German movies focused on wildly different topics. Exotic Homeland looks at creatures from other parts of the world who have settled in German waters and land and have adapted well. How did they get there and how do they survive? Do they crowd out native plants and animals?
The Rheas from Argentina in the weeds and the raccoons in the fens are cute and seemingly harmless. But the crabs from China and ants from parts unknown are so numerous that they are creepy to watch.
Nothing was harder to watch than the slaughter of whales and dolphins that begins the movie, Last Giants. The movie features these creatures who are getting squeezed for space in the Atlantic Ocean. They found a ready food source in the Straights of Gibraltar but the 300 cargo ships that go through the channel every day run them over, cut them up of drive them to the beach.
I left early feeling wiped out.
New Movie, Play and Mother's Sexual Behaviors
The DC Film Society hosted a reception and DC premiere screening of South Korea's Oscar nominee, Mother. Had a blast seeing the roof of the new W Hotel. The movie did little for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OPOR236oSM
A Mother discovers the police have closed the book on her son for murder, she begins the investigation that they left behind. A Korean version of Murder She Wrote, with a developmentally disadvantaged child as the killer. Hard to take.
Even harder to take was their relationship. Son slept in the bed with Mother. Hand seized her breast. She says, "It's late."
If that didn't stretch my level of acceptance of sexual choices, Studio Theater staged the play, That Face. Written by a 19-year-old English woman, the play features a violent 15 year old daughter, a father who ran off with his secretary years ago, a drunk Valium popping mentally disturbed Mother and the 18-year old son who shared her bed.
Winner of three major playwrighting awards and yet a row of middle-aged men could not stop talking and giggling. Others audibly moaned. Ushers who have been seeing tons of plays for two decades walked out with little positive to say. Was it the hopelessness of the characters or was it simply the sexuality?
The coincidence of seeing a new movie and a play with Mother son sex in three days is freaky. This Bohemian learned he has boundaries!

Matt Walsh Rocks II: Suicide is always a bad thing, and so is sloppy sentimentalism.
(Digression: Yes, I do sometimes use the work of more brilliant and prolific bloggers to make up for my own lack of creativity. I've done it before with John C. Wright. Digression on the digression: Wright should take notes from Walsh. In some ways they have similar styles, and they are alike in their immunity to public hysteria over their politically incorrect views, but Walsh is the more disciplined writer. He writes posts that are more like essays and less like free-association fantasias.)
Walsh wrote two posts about the recent tragic death of R.W. (initials used so as not to bring upon myself the venom of the entire Internet). Walsh's posts on this subject seem to me moderate, sensitive, wise, and rightly concerned about the romanticizing of suicide that is prevalent in our culture and that comes out, inter alia, in people's gooey ways of talking when someone talented and famous kills himself. But Walsh committed the unforgivable sin of interrupting Americans in their orgy of sentimental narcissism, and that called down upon him all the vileness that one has learned to expect in the Internet age.
So, while I don't have Walsh's bravery and hence have used the initials of the star in question, let me say right here to my small group of readers that Walsh makes excellent and important points. Suicide is never "freeing." We should never speak of a person who has committed suicide as if we know that he is now happy and free. Think what this says to suicidal people: "If you kill yourself, all of your problems will be over. You will be in the arms of the angels. You will be free of this world and all its troubles. Moreover, just maybe, people will worship you and romanticize you and go on and on about you as they just did over him. Go ahead, try it."
If you've ever seen the slightly creepy scene in Oklahoma where Curly tries to get Judd Fry (the villain) to commit suicide, telling him that then everyone will love him, you may recognize the pattern. Only Curly does it because he hates and fears Judd. These people are doing it because...well, partly because they aren't thinking, partly because they think what they are saying is kind and loving, and partly because they want to make themselves feel better when they are sad over someone's death. Also because some of them, at least, don't really believe that suicide is all that bad. They don't intend to motivate anyone to kill himself, but they could hardly choose a better way to do so if they tried.
Walsh also makes the correct point that phrases like "depression kills" and the like communicate to a depressed person that he is helpless and bereft of free will, that he is simply driven by his dark feelings. Telling a depressed person that will plausibly make him more likely to try to harm himself. So, too, do all the attempts to be compassionate that take the form of saying outright that depressed people are completely without responsibility for what they do. Again, when you tell a man that he can't help killing himself, that his disease of depression has completely taken him over, you are encouraging him to give up.
Now, it's true (and perhaps Walsh could have spent a couple of sentences acknowledging this) that a condition such as depression mitigates the sinfulness of acts committed by the depressed person and diminishes personal responsibility. But it is no true compassion simply to take away from the depressed person any concept of his own responsibility. Indeed, telling a depressed person that he has a responsibility to stay alive for the sake of someone else can be one useful tactic to prevent suicide. But if a depressed person has no choice in the matter, why bother?
Of course, those who are so furious with Matt Walsh aren't really trying to be logical. They will turn from venomous anger at Walsh for implying that a depressed person has any free will to saying, in the next moment, "If you know someone who suffers from depression, get him to seek help." But if he has no freedom, how can he even seek help?
Walsh might also have pointed out that there is a very strong pro-suicide movement in our culture for those who are ill or elderly, so this is by no means a merely theoretical matter. In fact, this post by New York Daily News author Denis Hamill expressly makes the connection to "death with dignity" rhetoric. It's not always the same people, of course. It would be interesting to find out what the ghouls of the Hemlock Society really think, in their heart of hearts, about R.W.'s suicide. How could they oppose it consistently? Much of the nonsense being talked right now is coming from the well-intentioned and muddled. But Christians and anyone else who wants to fight the culture of death cannot afford to be unclear: Suicide is always bad. There is nothing positive, freeing, or romantic about it. That is why we should try to prevent it, for everyone, by helping people to make the choice to live, not to die.
Kudos to Walsh for his courage.

Hi Lydia:
I especially agree (can someone especially agree? That makes it sound like I agree less with the other parts) with the observation that there is tension between describing R.W.'s death as a "tragedy" and the pro-death movement in medicine.
If R.W. went to one of these pro-death doctors and asked for help in carrying out his decision. is it no longer a tragedy, but instead an expression of autonomy? Why?
- Lydia McGrew said...
Yes, Wesley J. Smith is always pointing out (with documentation) that the real Hemlock Society hard-liners do in fact want death on demand for whatever reason, including for people with mental problems such as depression. Depressed people have committed suicide under Oregon's law and, even more, at Swiss death clinics.
There are probably some who are less hard-line who have some vague idea that people should have that choice only when their quality of life is "really low" or when they have been diagnosed with some painful or "undignified" ailment such as cancer or Alzheimer's. The trouble there is that it is very much a matter of making up standards as one goes along. If the right to self-determination regarding one's death is brought up as a rationale, there is no strong reason for restricting that right to those who are ill and/or old.
- Lydia McGrew said...
Highly relevant: Peter Singer says "suicide can be rational in the absence of terminal illness" and endorses the radical Philip Nitschke who wants troubled teens to have access to suicide:
- steve said...
A lot of people are conflicted in terms of what to say about suicide. They want to express disapproval of suicide without expressing disapproval of suicides. Condemn the action, but not the agent.
On the one hand they are tempted to shame people into not committing suicide by using rhetoric that deters suicide, viz, "suicide is a selfish act," with the implication that this is how we will remember you if you kill yourself. Since you don't want to be remembered that way, don't do it!
But when people do commit suicide, shaming them makes it hard to comfort the family, the survivors.
So people are pulled in two directions on this issue. To the extent that we excuse it, we seem to encourage it.
Then there's the all-purpose fallback on mental illness. They aren't to blame. They were in a state of diminished responsibility.
This overlooks the fact that depression is not equivalent to suicide. Some people are deeply depressed because their situation is depressing. They aren't mentally ill. They may have good reason to be depressed.
Some people commit suicide because they were overwhelmed by emotion. But others were thinking clearly when they ended their life. In fact, Williams probably killed himself because he was in the early stages of Parkinson's disease, and he couldn't face the prospect of a degenerative illness. That's a very lucid decision.
Of course, a decision can be both lucid and morally wrong. Those are separate issues.
Because suicide is such an emotional issue, there's a tendency to overgeneralize.
- Lydia McGrew said...
I agree with you, Steve. A lot of this stems from the fact that people simply don't know what to say.
I would add that the statement that suicide is a selfish decision is, I believe, simply true. That saying it may also help to prevent someone from committing suicide is just a bonus.

Being a freeman on the Land is something that most of you have probably never heard of, but you should have. A freeman on the land is someone in a common law jurisdiction who lawfully refuses giving consent to be governed, therefore no statutory obligations or restrictions apply to that man or woman. No statute or act of government applies to a freeman on the land. By not consenting to be governed a freeman on the land is no longer eligible for the benefits of being a governed member of society, things like employment insurance, vehicle insurance and registration, welfare, government health insurance, and any other government system do not apply to a freeman on the land, but the benefits are easy to see.
I think most of us agree that there is massive amounts of corruption within governments and within our own government. Becoming aware of just how far the deception goes is an Important part of taking back your personal freedoms and claiming your rights as a human being. You will notice that lawyers and judges are all members of what is called the Law Society. The law society is extremely deceptive to the common man because they use words that the common man uses in every day language but they mean something different. They use this tactic to trick the common man into giving his/her consent to be governed.
Here is some Important freeman on the land definitions and Information that you may find surprising.
What is Common Law?
The unwritten Law of the Common man.
Comes directly from higher self/conscience/intuition.
Religious codes of conduct (example: the ten commandments)
Summed up as 'Harm None'
These Laws are for Man and protect
That which is lawful
Law of the Land
Almost universal, worldwide
Protects those whose Rights have been infringed upon
Crime with a Victim
What is a Statute?
A statute is a legislative act of a society
Formal written agreement which governs a country or state
Something that has the 'force of law' or colour of law
Almost always comes with a monetary 'Charge'
These laws are on man and restrict freedoms
That which is legal
Commercial law
Maritime admiralty law
Law of trade
Law of the sea
Do you know your rights?
You are Born Equal and Free (and Equality Before the Law is Paramount)
You have the Right to Life, Freedom and Security
You have the Right to Trial by Jury of Peers
You have the Right to Bodily Integrity
You have the Right to Travel Freely
You have the Right to Freedom of Expression
You have the Right to Freedom of Assembly
You have the Right to Freedom of Association
You have the Right to Religious Liberty
You have the Rights of the Family
You have the Right to Inviobility of your Dwelling or Home
You have the Right to Privacy
Here are some important definitions:
A corporation treated as having the rights and obligations of a person.
Counties and cities can be treated as a person in the same manner as a corporation. However, corporations, counties and cities cannot have the emotions of humans such as malice, and therefore are not liable for punitive damages unless there is a statute authorizing the award of punitive damages.
A Society is a number of persons united together by mutual consent.
Societies are either incorporated and known to the law or un-incorporated, of which the law does not generally take notice.
A civil society is usually understood as a state, a nation or a political body.
In civil law society means a partnership.
A law enacted by the legislative branch of a government
An act of a corporation or its founder intended as a permanent rule
An international instrument setting up an agency and regulating its scope or authority
Act in the law:
An Act that is intended to create, transfer, or extinguish a right and that is effective in law for that purpose; the exercise of a legal power.
Act of the law:
The creation, extinction, or transfer of a right by the operation of the law itself, without any consent on the part of the persons involved.
A freeman possesses and enjoys all civil and political rights under a free government
Not a slave.or governed by anyone in any way what so ever
You may notice that the definition of the word "person" means a corporation. When you go to court you are acting as an agent representing that corporation which was created with a similar name to your own near the time of your birth. The only way that a statute or piece of legislation can affect you is if you agree to represent that person or corporation. Have you ever noticed that whenever you receive something from the government, the bank, the credit companies, insurance companies, or any other legal entity they spell your name with ALL CAPITAL LETTERS? That name is not you, it is the name of your person. This is one of the most important things to come to terms with when trying to take back your freedoms. Remember that you are not a person, you have a person.
Please remember if they ask you your name.tell them your - nick name - or a shortened version of your first name.then tell them you do not have a last name but you have a Family name, then tell what your Family name is then spell it out to them. Capitalize only the first letter and small letters after that. this will stop them connecting to their Fictitious name they call a PERSON and never say you understand it really means that you stand under them SAY no i do not understand remember (you do not understand ) because if you do then you given them contract to govern you. if they arrest you and give your rights like (anything you say can and will be used againist in a court of law.THEN THEY say do you UNDERSTAND - WHAT EVER YOU DO -- SAY NOTHING, NOT ONE WORD because EVEN if you say NO that will give them POWER and REASON to take you to court. REMEMBER THIS do not say anything after that dont talk, dont ask any questions,and if they give you a ticket and they will not let you go until you sign it - SAY I SIGN THIS UNDER DURESS,and WITHOUT CONSENT AND PRINT THAT ON THE TICKET NEXT TO YOUR NAME but make sure you sign your name last and the duress statement first I hope you see what I mean.
