Review: The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability
The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability by Lierre Keith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This author is obviously angry at being fooled into believing that a vegan lifestyle would be better for her and the planet, and the book is an impassioned argument against such beliefs. Her arguments against the three main arguments for vegetarianism (ecologic, moral, and health) also appear quite strong, although I suspect there is some handwaving at times where the science gets beyond her. In particular, I noted the use of "chemfear" (the belief that "if you can't pronounce it it must not be good for you") in a few places, and there's other spots where I'm not convinced that she's connected all the dots. But there's enough here to at least make one question the merits of the positions she rails again, which are often held with a religious fervor.
Vegans will hate this book, as will many vegetarians, as she calls them childish and ignorant. (I suspect this accounts for many of the "1 star" ratings I'm seeing.) But, sadly, she is right on both counts, certainly with respect to vegans and also with respect to many vegetarians. And while I think her closing recommendations are problematically impractical for many people, she admits that she doesn't have all the answers. But at least she is putting the questions on the table. Unfortunately, the closing of the book includes an excessively aggressive indictment of liberals, the American left, and men, which will tend to put off people who do not share her beliefs in radicalism and feminism. Bad bridge-building there that mars an otherwise very good book.

ROME (MarketWatch) — Opinion polls ahead of next month's general election in Italy are pointing to a victory by the center-left coalition, although perhaps not resounding enough to rule out an alliance with Mario Monti, the outgoing technocrat prime minister who has forged a political party of his own.
The center-left coalition led by Democratic Party chief Pier Luigi Bersani is 5.1 percentage points ahead of the center-right coalition that is guided by Silvio Berlusconi, according to a poll by Datamonitor.
Other polls show the gap is larger. IPR puts it at 5.7 percentage points, SWG puts it at 5.5, IPR at 6.1, and EMG at 8.
Berlusconi claims his popularity is surging on the back of his promise last weekend to abolish a new property tax on primary residences, and even refund — "in cash" — last year's levy.
A poll published Wednesday in the newspaper Corriere della Sera indicated that a stunning 96% of Italians had heard of his proposal, but also that almost 60% didn't like it. An even higher 72% thought the idea was "hot air."
Berlusconi may have to find another swing issue, especially after a weak performance in a Tuesday-night interview on the popular "Ballaro" show, where he suggested he could cut public spending by selling state assets. Or he may be resigned to losing and is keener on being able to stoke public disgruntlement with the next government, hoping it doesn't last long.
Under Italy's electoral law, Bersani is poised to take a majority of seats in the lower parliamentary chamber, but may fall short in the Senate if he loses in Lombardy, the country's most populous region. All polls show the two main coalitions are neck and neck in Lombardy.
The most likely outcome of the Feb. 24 and 25 vote is Bersani's being forced to recruit Monti to his side to form a majority in the upper house, and the market reaction to that should be "extremely positive" in the short run, said Luca Silipo, an analyst at Natixis. He said he sees a clean sweep by Bersani as a 25% likelihood, an outcome that would be "rather" positive for investors.
Monti's party — comprising civic leaders new to the political arena — has stabilized in polls around 10%, some of which represents votes poached from his establishment allies, the Catholic centrist UDC party and a small group led by Gianfranco Fini, formerly leader of the right-wing National Alliance.
Bersani, leery of making any fiery claims but also wary of being perceived as trying to coast to the finish line, has had to endure and at times parry attacks on his left-leaning allies from Monti. In a radio interview Wednesday he acknowledged "sparks" had flown between the two campaigns but reiterated he would welcome a policy collaboration with the outgoing premier
Italy's voters are cautious, and the election will show how that plays out, said Jeff Sica of Sica Wealth Management, who manages more than $1 billion in assets in the U.S. and is closely watching the Italian vote for clues as to the future of the euro zone.

Do you feel unconfident about your body, and you wish you can slim down to fit into your favorite outfits? If you think you have tried everything to lose weight, but nothing seems to work, then it may be time to try a different technique that is proven to offer excellent results. Here, we take a closer look into the Clean Eating Playbook, which is designed to help you shed excess pounds naturally and safely. Learn more about this product, what you can expect from it, and whether or not it is a solid option for your needs.
Clean Eating Playbook At-A-Glance
You probably feel bombarded with so many diet plans and weight loss guides available in the market today. Numerous fitness experts introduce their products that are intended to make you feel great about yourself as you begin to lose weight and achieve better health. However, how are you supposed to determine what works and what does not?
This product designed by Celeste Bennett has quite a catchy name, and it is not surprising for people to wonder if it is indeed effective in giving them the kind of vitality and wellness they are looking for. Entitled �Clean Eating Playbook�, this product is centered on teaching people how to eat the right way and the right foods that will support their goals of losing weight and having an overall healthy body. It only makes sense that by being aware of what it is for you to eat, you should be able to have a better understanding of what it takes to obtain well-being.
Best Features of the Product
For an average person, clean eating may mean choosing wholesome foods that do not cause adverse effects to their body. However, what this product offers is more than simply presenting a list of foods to eat. There is a step-by-step guide on how to go about to selecting these foods, best combinations, as well as tips on how to achieve a lifestyle that contributes to vitality and wellness.
The following are among the features of the Clean Eating Playbook:
1. Introduction to Clean Eating
To avoid any misunderstanding or lack of clarity, this product starts off by presenting a simplified and easy-to-understand information on clean eating. This is very important since it would be difficult to go ahead with this program if you are not even aware of what it really means to eat �clean�. By being aware of the author�s explanation on clean eating, you will find out what it is about this aspect that has been changing and improving the lives of so many people once they get aboard this lifestyle.
2. Motivational Tips
Somewhere down the road, you may find yourself losing the motivation to continue with the program and return to your usual lifestyle. Yet, you will have to realize that if you have already come too far, there is absolutely no reason for you to just give up and throw away all the possible benefits you can reap from clean eating. Hence, there is a section in this product that encourages people not to quit and just keep pushing forward.
3. Recipes for Clean Eating
This product also presents over 70 recipes that go hand in hand with this clean eating lifestyle. By being aware of these recipes, you will realize that there are several options to vary the dishes you eat without compromising your health and weight. It is even easier for you to organize and plan your daily meals instead of eating the same thing over and over.
Pros and Cons of the Product
Here are the benefits and drawbacks that come with the Clean Eating Program:
1. Credible
The Clean Eating Playbook is developed by Celeste Bennett who has performed extensive research on nutrition and healthy lifestyle. In fact, she has interviewed and studied the diet of other fitness experts, and she has implemented these techniques to her own life � and attained positive results by doing so. With this in mind, it is not simply a work of someone who has little to no understanding of diet and nutrition. Celeste knew what she was saying when she developed this product, and this is the reason why several people who tried it garnered amazing results.
2. Organized
The product features a list of �safe� foods to eat, which should be able to provide you with the results you look for. In addition to this list, there are more than 70 recipes that go well with the clean eating diet. This allows you to plan your meals several days ahead and vary each dish you prepare. Thus, you will not have to go through boredom or loss of interest along the way because each recipe presented is delicious, nutritious and healthy.
3. Easy-to-understand
Most importantly, this guide is easy for an average person to understand. This is very important since not everyone has the time and energy to go through a program such as this and devote long hours to become well-versed to it. If you are always on the go, you will find this program suitable to your tight schedule.
This does not really qualify as a �con�, but it is important to note that this program is not for every single person on the planet. For those who like overnight results and are not particularly keen on fixing their diet because they would rather take slimming pills, then the Clean Eating Playbook may not appeal to them. What this product teaches is a natural and step-by-step guide to eating right, and it should be a viable option for people who are concerned about getting healthy and slim without the use of drugs and pills.
If you are in search of a well-researched, simplified and effective technique on how to attain wellness and a gorgeous body, then the Clean Eating Playbook is for you. It is presented in a way that can be understood easily by the average person, so there should be any problem with applying these tips to your daily life � and reap astounding results over time.

Liver metastases are cancerous tumors that have spread to the liver from somewhere else in the body.
See also:
Alternative Names
Metastases to the liver; Metastatic liver cancer; Liver cancer - metastatic
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Almost any cancer can spread to the liver. Cancers that may spread to the liver include:
Breast cancer Colorectal cancer Esophageal cancer Lung cancer Melanoma Pancreatic cancer Stomach cancer
The risk of cancer spreading to the liver depends on the site of the original cancer. A liver metastasis may be present when the original (primary) cancer is diagnosed, or it may occur months or years after the primary tumor is removed.
In some cases, there are no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:
- Confusion
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)
- Nausea
- Pain, usually in the upper right part of the abdomen
- Sweats
- Weight loss
Signs and tests
Tests that may be done to diagnose liver metastases include:
CT scanof the abdomen
- Liver function tests
- Liver biopsy
- MRI of the abdomen
PET scan Ultrasoundof the abdomen
Treatment depends on:
- The primary cancer site
- How many liver tumors you have
- Whether it has spread to other organs besides the liver
- Your overall health
When the cancer has spread to the liver and other organs, whole-body (systemic) chemotherapy is usually used. The type of chemotherapy is determined by theoriginal type of cancer.
When the spread is limited to the liver, body-wide chemotherapy may still be used. However, other treatment methods may work. When the tumor is only in one or a few areas of the liver, the cancer may be removed with surgery.
The use of radiofrequency waves or injection of toxic substances may also be used to kill tumors. When larger areas of the liver are involved, treatment may involve giving chemotherapy directly into the liver, or a procedure called embolization, which blocks blood flow to parts of the liver to "starve" the tumor cells.
Expectations (prognosis)
How well you do depends on the location of the original cancer and how much it has spread to the liver or anywhere else. Rarely, surgery to remove the liver tumors may lead to a cure. This is usually only possible in patients with certain tumor types (for example, colorectal cancer), and when there are a limited number of tumors in the liver.
In most cases, cancer that has spread to the liver is not curable. Patients with spread of cancer to the liver usually die of their disease. However, treatments may help shrink tumors, improve life expectancy, and relieve symptoms.
Complications are generally the result of tumors spreading to a large area of the liver.
They can include:
- Blockage of the flow of
- Decreased appetite
- Fever
- Liver failure (usually only in the late stages of disease)
- Pain
- Weight loss
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have cancer and suspect that it has spread to the liver. Anyone who has had a type of cancer that can spread to the liver should be aware of the signs and symptoms listed above, and call a physician if any of these develop.
Early detection of some types of cancer may prevent the spread of these cancers to the liver.

Releasing plot bunny into the wild!
Crossing over Infinite Stratos with Blazblue.
Replace the IS with the Murakumo units. Only women can use the murakumo units because all murakumo units follow the original amaterasu unit design which was gene locked to a woman. So even amongst women, only certain women can use a murakumo due to DNA lock.
Ichika is an exception, because technically, he doesn't get a murakumo. Instead he gets a complete blazblue. A complete "cauldron" or mechanism that creates these murakumos.
Years ago, his house is ransacked right before the announcement of the IS that Chifuyu was test piloting for her best friend and IS inventor, Shinonono Tabane. Chifuyu is kidnapped and so the IS is test piloted by another pilot. During the testing, a unit descends upon the test site. Despite the PIC and beam weaponry found on the first generation IS unit White Knight, it found itself outmatched. It left the world agape as the exo-armor known to be decades if not centuries ahead of whatever the world had today was easily crushed. This unknown unit seemed to exhibit every single capability of the IS, only far more advanced with many of its capabilities activating merely on thoughts of the pilot. It also exhibited high mobility that resembled instantaneous translocation as well as dimensional manipulation. The machine proclaimed itself as Amaterasu and that the world would end soon. It hacks the IS reseach mainframe and begins to load a vast database onto it. Amaterasu tells them that "the world must gather its resources for time is short. The Beasts will awaken and ravage this world. Fed by the impurities it will continue to consume all.".
Ichika lives a normal life, relatively normal as he lives alone but regularly visited by the Gotanda Ran. He tries to be a bit more cheerful despite the tragedy that took his sister away from him, as well as his arm which was replaced by a black prosthetic, despite how natural it seemed to work. On the day of his highschool entrance exam, Ichika's arm reacts to a selection test for murakumo pilots. Ichkika is pulled in by the government and finds himself under the wing and protective custody of Tabane, the scientist assigned to dissect him. To honoer Chifuyu, she instead sends him to the murakumo dojo, a giant school dedicated to the study of murakumo units and training of its pilots.
The IS aren't completely removed. Just relegated to the slightly less special
Armagus, weapons that cannot be explained by science but derived from the technology passed on by Amaterasu. These can be used by anyone, however much like any art or skill, use of armagus is relative to talent and hardwork.
EDIT: Just heard megaman X7's opening theme. For some reason I find it very fitting for IS had they decided to make it take the mecha side seriously. It helps a lot that the title of the song is Code Crush.

Well, it's even better than 'balanced' F-22 Raptor (Real life example of Suish fighter jet), Erusian literally go WTF when it appear undetected by their radar THEN oneshot three of four Mirages in a squad with a single, continuous laser blast.
Ground observer saw it as if the enemy aircraft is cut apart and burned midair, hence the codenaming.

Hmm... stupid plot bunny suddenly gave birth to awkward thought. Since Amaterasu makes references to beasts and the beasts are only born when the blazblue and a murakumo it creates somehow... "fuse". It would be awkward if Dan had a blazblue like Ichika and he creates Ran's murakumo.
if anyone is confused by how "fusing" would be awkward. I would be happy to show you exactly how murakumo unit 13 continuously approaches a wielder of the blazblue

It ultimately boil down to a person's personal moral and belief rather than just faction which they belong to.
There is always the option of not having a choice. Their family has been Templar and that's why they are a templar.
I mentioned before:
Tabane is more Assassin than Templar. She doesn't give a crap about social norms and rules. She do whatever she think is the best for herself (not the world, she doesn't give a shit about the world).
Unfortunately, Assasin-Tabane end up furthering the goal of the Templar. Not like that it matter to her.
Life is not that straight ward binary/digital signal. It is a freaking analog signal where every things is all over the place.
Too much freedom can be a problem as much as too little freedom.
Which is why I hate the idea of the Heroes fighting for freedom when they don't realize that it entail.
that's why there is a golden rule of: Doing things in moderation.
Too little courage is cowardice. Too much courage is reckless.
It's all about striking a balance between the two.

I know there are Good Templars/Bad Assassins, but the difference lies in how fanatic Templar's can be. While Absolute Freedom sounds better than Absolute Control on paper, just looking at Somalia is a pretty good show that it's not all fun and games. The difference is the fact that Assassin's are willing to compromise (I.e They never actively overthrow governments unless they're dictatorships), while the Templar's are absolutely fanatic in their belief that all humans should be controlled.
There's also the fact that the Assassin's are actually the first to seek peaceful solutions while the Templar's follow the kill till we get what we want mindset. And eerily enough, I can see Tatenashi, Laura, and Cecilia following that mindset.

They are not willing to take risk as much as Assassin which is why they are not willing to compromise and seek to dominate free will.
On the other hand....
How do you know that a ruler is evil? Until people are suffering. It also means that Assassin's method of doing things are usually too late: The damages had already been done. The only thing you can do is to minimize the damages.
So to put it very simply:
Templar: Prevention is better than Cure (Kill all people infected with HIV, take no chances. Also premarital sex = death penalty (to reduce the chance of getting HIV).)
Assassin: A cure(advancement in medical technology) is better than prevention (Our current method except they also kill those HIV infected if they infected others while waiting for a cure to be invented)
Both are poison (in a way), so....pick your poison.

I didn't get a chance to post pictures of our completed sukkah before the chag, so I thought I'd share tonight! Please make sure to link up to pictures of your own sukkah in the Virtual Sukkah Hop.
Also, very **IMPORTANT**. KOAB was apparently hacked (attempted to be hacked?) over the chag. The good people at my host restored the blog back to the pre-hack point, which means that Wednesday's posts, plus any comments left on Wednesday, were sadly lost.
I have all your comments in my email, so I will try to repost, but if you want to repost a link to your sukkah before I get to it, please feel free! (If you emailed me pictures, I still have those and will share this coming week!) I am so sorry for any inconvenience.
And now, back to our sukkah…
We build our sukkah right off our kitchen/family room, so it opens up toward the inside of our house. Aside from blocking it from some gusty winds, this also allows us to skip the wall/door for the 4th side, which gives our not-very-big sukkah an airy feeling, I think.
Here's how the sukkah looks from the entrance, with the right panel featuring the kids art mural and the left side our big ole Israeli flag:
And here is the right side wall, with all of the ushpizin posters.
And the left wall – aka the "art gallery"… I love adding new laminated pictures every year!
And finally, here is a shot of our schach – we brought the roll on the right back with us from Israel and bought a second roll from The Sukkah Project to fill in the gap on the left. Having the rolls is definitely faster than cutting down branches, though I do miss the palm we had in Israel! (Yes, those are "seasonal" lights purchased on 90% clearance at Target! ;-))
Thanks for visiting our sukkah! Now I can't wait to see yours. Please be sure to link up to the Virtual Sukkah Hop.

Dallas D dominates Eli, Giants
By JAIME ARON, AP Sports Writer
Dec 15, 1:04 am EST
IRVING, Texas (AP)—After all he and the Dallas Cowboys went through the last week, Tony Romo was one clutch play from the ultimate peacemaker: a victory.
And, for that clutch play, he threw to good pal Jason Witten.
This time, Terrell Owens was fine with that.
Witten gained 11 yards on a third-and-9 late in the fourth quarter, keeping the New York Giants from getting the ball back with time to pull off a comeback. Then rookie Tashard Choice followed with a 38-yard touchdown run and the Cowboys beat the Giants 20-8 on Sunday night to help their playoff chances and, perhaps, ensure at least a week's worth of locker-room harmony.
"It was just something we had to deal with," said Owens, no stranger to controversy. "We just stuck together. We knew what was important and that was the game today."
While the soap-opera offense gets all the attention, the defense is doing much of the work in keeping the Cowboys (9-5) in the playoff hunt.
DeMarcus Ware sacked Eli Manning on New York's first snap and the pressure never stopped. Ware finished with three sacks, upping his NFL-leading total to 19, and Dallas rang up a season-high eight. It was the unit's third straight game with at least five.
Cornerback Terence Newman, involved in his own tiff this week, intercepted two passes and the Cowboys kept New York (11-3) without a touchdown for the first time since November 2004.
The Giants locked up the NFC East title last Sunday, but have lost consecutive games for the first time since starting 0-2 last season. Both losses have come since star receiver Plaxico Burress shot himself and was lost for the season. Yet New York can flush it all away by winning its next game, at home Sunday night against Carolina in a game that will decide the top seed in the NFC playoffs.
"I'm disappointed, a little frustrated, but not concerned," said Manning, who was 18-of-34 for 191 yards with two interceptions. "We have to get back to playing good football. We'll have our hands full. The defense is playing well, but offensively we're not doing our part."
The Cowboys spent more time this week answering questions about their own squabbles than about playing the Giants. It started with Jerry Jones questioning the toughness of running back Marion Barber for missing last week's loss at Pittsburgh because of a dislocated right pinkie toe, and it ended with Newman accusing coaches of not being as accountable for mistakes as they expected players to be.
The main event was talk of Owens being upset about the close relationship between Romo and Witten. There was a confirmed meeting of Owens and two other receivers with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, and reports of a late-week confrontation between Owens and Witten, which the Cowboys deny happened.
T.O. was booed during pregame introductions and again when he dropped a long pass on Dallas' first series. But once the Cowboys went up 14-3 midway through the fourth quarter, Romo, Owens and Witten were yukking it up on the sideline. All three were together again for a postgame interview with NBC and continued to laugh it all off.
"It's just part of playing football," Romo said. "We have a lot of highly competitive individuals who want to win. I give a lot of credit to T.O. and Jason for drumming this whole thing up to take attention away."
Added Owens: "Winning cures everything."
Romo was 20-of-30 for 244 yards and two touchdowns—to third receiver Patrick Crayton and seldom thrown-to fullback Deon Anderson, of all people—and no interceptions. Romo was sacked four times, including back-to-back plays at the end of the first quarter that left him wincing in pain with a back problem. He didn't miss a snap, but wasn't moving as well as he usually does.
Witten caught five passes for 44 yards, and Owens had three catches for 38 yards. The offensive star actually was Choice.
A fourth-round pick from Georgia Tech, Choice followed his steller play against the Steelers with 91 yards on only nine carries, and he was the leading receiver with 52 yards on four catches. Barber started but gained only 2 yards on eight carries.
Dallas went up 7-0 early in the second quarter and made it 14-3 on Romo's lob to Anderson with 12:13 left.
But then Romo was tackled in the end zone for a safety and the Giants followed with a field goal. Now New York was within 14-8 and a defensive stand could get the ball back to Manning for a go-ahead touchdown, the kind of drive that could've been devastating to Dallas' playoff hopes for so many reasons— from this week's strife to a reminder of last week's late loss to Pittsburgh to their decade-long history of disastrous Decembers.
They quickly faced third down, and had converted only 1-of-9 at that point. Barber got another one with a 9-yard burst around the right end. Then came another third down, the one when Romo threw to Witten dragging across the field. The tight end nearly was tackled shy of the first-down marker but he fought for the extra yards.
Finally, the Cowboys could exhale.
Dallas is guaranteed a playoff spot by winning its last two games, but it won't be easy. Baltimore comes to Texas Stadium on Saturday night, then the Cowboys close in Philadelphia.
In two games against Dallas, Manning was sacked 12 times; he's been sacked only 11 times in the other 12 games combined. … New York's pass-blocking was hurt by losing RT Kareem McKenzie (back) in the second quarter and LG Rich Seubert (flu) in the second half. … Ware is within reach of Michael Strahan's single-season record of 22 1/2 . … Greg Ellis had two sacks, Chris Canty got 1 1/2 , Bradie James had one and Anthony Spencer had the other half.

Heh, heh. Leave it to Kodak to raise prices on something they no longer
even manufacture.
I remember an observation from someone a while back, something to the effect
that 'Kodak's ability to piss off and alienate its lifelong customers is
nothing short of breathless...'
Does this fall into that category?

It's no secret that everyone has a favorite place to go or to do business with. And that's what Best of Bluffton is all about.
We changed our format this year and it proved successful as we had nearly 4,000 votes in the first edition that included categories except restaurants and food. We shortened the format to encourage a better completion rate.
Today I share with you the results of our 2012 Best of Bluffton voting, which was completed in early June and published in our June 6 Best of Bluffton special section.
If you missed it, we still have copies available at our 6 Promenade, Suite 1005 office in Old Town or online at blufftontoday.com.
As we outlined in the spring, we changed the voting to semi-annual in an attempt to create a shorter survey.
We felt a shorter survey with fewer questions would result in more surveys being completed. Our efforts proved fruitful, as our completion percentage increased from about 80 percent to 93 percent. We also saw an increase of nearly 27 percent in total ballots cast, so it is quite clear that the Best of Bluffton has become a highly coveted award for local businesses and institutions.
We also thought we should help our audience understand what it means when we say "Best of Bluffton." The Best of Bluffton should be thought of as a representation of what our readers feel is the best in each individual category, rather than what is the Best in Bluffton. We are a small town with exciting resources and activities. Sometimes, however, people travel 10 or 15 minutes out of town for a unique product, service or a regional delicacy. Not including those nominees based on their zip code would result in an incomplete list so we are using some discretion to create the most powerful representation of our audience's thoughts and desires while to include nominees, regardless of where they are located. This is about what our readers think more than anything else.
The nomination process online is under way for the Best of Bluffton 2012 - restaurant edition. We will accept nominees until July 21 and the voting will begin July 25. If you have a nominee, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you have other questions about Best Of Bluffton, our process or other feedback, feel free to contact me. My email is email@example.com and my office phone number is 815-0800, Ext. 18.

EPA resolves air violations with Calif. biomass power plant
The U.S. EPA has announced a $145,000 settlement with Thermal Energy Development Partnership, a biomass electric power plant in Tracy, Calif., for Clean Air Act violations for failure to properly operate and maintain emission monitoring equipment.
"EPA will continue to rigorously enforce against facilities located in the San Joaquin Valley, a geographic focus for our regional Strategic Plan. The message is simple: facilities must comply with the requirements to monitor their pollutants," said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA's regional administrator for the Pacific Southwest. "With some of the poorest air quality in the nation, the Valley cannot afford to risk any further deterioration."
The permits required the facility to properly maintain and operate a continuous emission monitoring system. Thermal Energy's monitoring equipment failed to monitor sulfur dioxide for 30 months, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide for 27 months, and opacity for 9 months. There were no known emission violations.
The Clean Air Act violations by Thermal Energy were under the federal New Source Performance Standard which applies to steam generators constructed after June 19, 1984 and have a heat input capacity from combusted fuels greater than 100 million BTUs (British thermal units) per hour. Also considered in the settlement were the federally enforceable San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District permit conditions.
Company failure to operate emissions monitors properly can result in illegal releases of pollutants into the atmosphere. Facilities are required to properly maintain and operate emissions monitoring equipment to measure the release of pollutants and help protect human health. For more information on the Clean Air Act, please visit the EPA's website at:
Particle pollution can cause serious health problems ranging from aggravated asthma to premature death in people with heart and lung disease. Exposure to high concentrations of sulfur dioxide can have serious impacts on breathing, respiratory illness, alterations in pulmonary defenses, and aggravation of existing cardiovascular disease.
The San Joaquin Valley, with an economy driven by agriculture, suffers from high rates of poverty and unemployment. Its unique topography and wind patterns have also resulted in severe impacts to the public health. Poor air quality, due in part to high-volume truck traffic, has resulted in some of the highest rates of childhood asthma in California. We are working together with our federal, state, and local partners to improve the quality of life for the 4 million residents in the Valley.

Re: New mother board no sound HELP!
Well, in the past I have encountered cases where the internal Audio header for the front panel is configured wrong. Kills all audio.
Most cases have both AC97 and HD Audio pulgs, if your board is setup for HD and the AC97 plug (or other way round) is hooked up the audio wont work.

"March 4 — Do you have marriage records for your grandparents or great-grandparents? Write a post about where they were married and when. Any family stories about the wedding day? Post a photo too if you have one." - The Accidental Genealogist
I have some marriage records and stories but most all of them involving living or recently deceased relatives. I'm also trying to stick to my theme of only focusing on my maternal grandmother's family (I want to make a book out of these posts for her). Luckily, my favorite marriage record involves my maternal grandmother's grandparents.
This marriage record holds a special place for me for several other reasons. It was a gift from a relative some years ago and was the first time I'd ever seen a picture of John and Susanna. It also gave me some of the information I needed to eventually break-down my vonAllmen brick-wall.
One thing of note about the record is that it includes a picture of the minister who married them. It is the first time I've ever seen this done. Though, I'm sure the actual record (I think this is a ceremonial copy) probably lacks those pictures.

Friday, April 12, 2013 - Niklas Serdberg and Adam Rupert - Screen Test
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Adam Rupert is a really stunningly handsome guy. We invited him in for a Screentest just as soon as we could. We lined up the ever popular Niklas Serdberg to be paired with him. We see Niklas on a bed, preparing for a massage. Adam walks in, wearing only his boxers, and lays on the bed, in front of Niklas. Niklas gets right to work on that hot body, straddling Adam's legs and massaging his back. As he is massaging the back we see that Adam's hands are working too, rubbing and caressing Niklas legs. Niklas lowers Adam's boxers and starts to massage those beautiful buns. As he massages that ass Niklas spreads the cheeks so we can see Adam's tight hole. Adam turns over, onto his back, and he shows off a rock hard cock. Clearly Niklas has aroused him. Niklas leans forward and sucks on a nipple as he takes hold of Adam's big hard cock and wanks it. Then he kisses Adam on the lips before moving down to suck his cock. With his lips wrapped tight around the cock Niklas sucks it nice and deep. Then Niklas loses his undies too, and his own throbbing cock comes into view. He wanks the two cocks together and then moves further up Adam's body, so that his ass is touching that hard cock. Adam reaches for Niklas butt cheeks, pulling them apart and letting his cock rub against the hole. He begins to thrust upwards and knows what he wants to do. Without further ado he slides his cock into that tight ass and starts to fuck it nice and deep. He works that hole real well before moving to a missionary position and continuing to fuck it. With nice long strokes his cock works in and out of that hole. Then Adam ups the tempo, fucking faster and faster as Niklas wanks himself. Adam quickly pulls out and moves up to shoot his cum all over Niklas chest. Then Niklas takes the sticky cock in his mouth to clean it off. What a great screentest from two really hot guys.
In scene 6 of Kick Club we have a very big cast, Karel Pisek, Zdeno Reif, Richard Hrosik, Otto Horyna, Lukas Vaculik, Svens Torgburg, Radim Vokoun, Tadeusz Brodzik and Jarmil Soler. As the scene starts Zdeno is inducting the other guys into the Kick Club, explaining the rules. Then it is time to start some kick boxing. Firstly Radim is against Kamil, showing off how good they are. The other guys are cheeing them on and when Radim is knocked to the ground they carry him away. Laying Radim on a bed the guys look at him, worrying if he is ok. But quickly Tadeusz starts to suck on Radim's cock. Radim proves that he is alive by taking Sven's hard cock in his mouth too. When they have sucked up a big storm the fucking begins, with Lukas fucking Radim, Sven's fucking Richard, while Karel gets it hard from Zdeno. As they fuck the guys swap partners so everybody get some good hard sex from whoever they like. Finally the guys all crowd around Radim and shoot their creamy loads all over him.
Jakub Honus is from Prague. He is aged 31 and works as a computer expert. He enjoys computers, athletics and skiing. Jakub is a handsome, masculine guy. After his interview he begins to feel his body, running his hands all over. Then he gets naked to the waist, showing off a very nice chest. When he opens his jeans he pulls out a big, hard cock and a pair of massive, heavy balls. Lowering the jeans much further lets us really see just how big those balls are and how well they hang. Jakub wanks on that hard cock as his other hand feels over his body. Gyrating his hips he holds the cock so that it stands up for a great view. Lifting his legs Jakub then traps that big cock and the balls, between his legs as he shows off a nicely spread ass. He stands up, so that big dick shows off the angle of the dangle, big and hard. Then he turns his back to the camera and bends over to show off that ass again, pushing his cock back between his legs. Jakub then kneels and wanks that huge dick to a mightly climax, squirting cum everywhere. He goes of to the shower to clean up. In the shower we noticed that Jakub's cock really stays quite hard and swollen for a very long time after he cums. Most impressive.
Petr Myska is from Roznov pod Radhostem and is aged 29. He is an operator and enjoys sports. Petr is a very handsome guy, with a slim, natural build. Hair is prominent with Petr, long on his head, full in the bush department and trimmed on the chin. He looks very good indeed as he poses for the camera. As he strips he shows us a very nice ass, and then, losing the pants, his cock and that awesome bush. When Petr really shows that ass off, with the cheeks spread we see a hot, hairy hole, and he makes sure we see all of it. He also gets that cock rock hard for us, posing proudly as the camera captures it all. What a great looking guy and a very nice photoshoot.
Kamil Krasny is aged 18 and lives in Nova Vcelnice. He is a student who enjoys playing football in his spare time. What a very cute guy Kamil is. Such a beautiful face and a very fit looking body too. As he strips off for the camera we get to see everything. He has a gorgeous ass and a very nice cock. Showing off that ass as he poses for the camera, we see what a lovely shape it is. His cock is just beautiful as well, and he wanks it to get it nicely hard for us. Kamil does a great job of showing off that ass as well, getting the cheeks spread to show us right into his heavenly crack, and its tight pucker hole. A really nice shoot from a great looking guy.

Dec. 17. Codington Elementary School is locked down for five minutes after shots are heard in the area. The shots are the result of gun training at the city of Wilmington's firing range. No students are harmed.
Jan. 29. Snipes Elementary School, Freeman Elementary School, Mosley Performance Learning Center and the Child Development Center pre-kindergarten are locked down for five hours after a police suspect runs into a nearby neighborhood. Police take the man into custody after an hours-long standoff. No students are harmed.
Feb. 8. New Hanover High School and Williston Middle School are locked down for 30 minutes after shots are heard in the area. Police find no indication that any shots had been fired. No students are harmed.
Since the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., left 26 students and teachers dead, the importance of routine school lockdown drills has been repeatedly hammered home by school administrators. Schools across Southeastern North Carolina do those drills, and they do them often. But this school year, several have also undergone lockdowns prompted by suspicious people in a surrounding neighborhood or gunshots overheard in a nearby neighborhood. School officials say those incidents, while more nerve-wracking than a drill, have also yet to produce a legitimate threat.
But Rick Holliday, assistant superintendent for student support in New Hanover County, said that's the point of a lockdown – keeping the students safe, even if it's just a precaution.
"If we're locking a school down, we're putting the children in lockdown, and we're not moving, and we're not doing anything other than protecting the children," Holliday said.
Schools have lockdown procedures for multiple internal situations, including an intruder in the school, weapons on campus or a missing person or student. But there are also procedures for external incidents, often involving some type of law enforcement activity in the area where the school is located.
The lockdowns that have typically occurred in New Hanover County are initiated by those law enforcement calls, Holliday said.
The process behind a lockdown is largely self-explanatory. All exterior doors are locked, and no one can come into or go out of the building. Teachers also lock individual classroom doors and close window shades, moving their students into a corner of the room and keeping them quiet.
It interferes with teaching, Holliday said, but it's a small interference since most lockdowns are short. In a lengthier lockdown like Jan. 29's standoff where teachers and students aren't in immediate danger, school officials can make some modifications. Exterior doors will still be locked, and in-school movement will still be limited. But teachers can go on with their lessons.
During Jan. 29's lockdown, Adrian Pearson, principal of Freeman Elementary, said his teachers "tailored" their days to the situation. They kept the students together, away from doors or windows, and worked on activities that kept the children relatively quiet, such as reading out loud from a book, he said.
Similar modifications happened throughout the day, Pearson said. According to law enforcement records, Freeman Elementary stayed in lockdown from about 10:15 a.m. until about 3:20 p.m., overlapping lunchtime. Administrative and cafeteria staff worked together to bring bagged meals to students in their classrooms, Pearson said.
Principals at individual schools in Brunswick County record each time their school is locked down for an external threat. But school administrators from New Hanover and Pender counties said they don't keep any official record of lockdowns that aren't a drill. Holliday said that's because his district hasn't seen a need to track them.
"We're not locking (the schools) down because of things that are happening in the school," Holliday said. "What we control is what's going on inside the school."
So far in the 2012-13 school year, neither Pender County, with 16 schools, nor Brunswick County, with 19 schools, have had any lockdowns as a result of threats from the outside, school officials said.
In New Hanover County, with 42 schools, administrators and law enforcement officials said that while there had been lockdowns, they didn't know the exact number. But the county's 911 call center has a Twitter account, launched last March, that automatically notifies followers when a school goes into and comes out of a lockdown. That account has recorded 18 lockdown incidents during the 2012-13 school year at 17 separate schools.
In those incidents, 11 schools were locked down at least twice, while two schools, Virgo Middle and New Hanover High, were locked down at least three times. The lockdowns typically lasted no more than 15 minutes and were often prompted by nearby law enforcement activity, according to the Twitter account.
Schools in New Hanover and Pender counties also do at least two lockdown drills each year, while schools in Brunswick County do at least three.
Those drills help students stay calm when a real lockdown happens, Freeman Elementary Principal Pearson said. On Jan. 29, he was leading a positive behavior reward assembly for fifth-grade students in the school's multipurpose room. When the school went into lockdown, students and their teachers were still in the assembly. But they immediately knew to move to the back of the room, where they stayed for the rest of the day.
It was an out-of-the-ordinary situation, much like the lengthy lockdown itself. But it largely didn't faze the students, Pearson said.
"We've had enough practice," he said. "Our students are very responsive and doing a very good job."

Part 18- "Search for Sensation": Time to fit the mysterious MacLevy into our local Westminster equation.
Part 18- "Search for Sensation": Time to fit the mysterious MacLevy into our local Westminster equation.
It seems MacLevy (1873-1934) had at least 3 sanitariums in Babylon, all left in ashes, not necessarily when he was in them. At the turn of the century, he used Havemeyer
Pt. on Oak Island which burned down around 1920. He put an ad in the 1/25/1901 Brooklyn Eagle to hire a handyman at $12 a month and ocean side free rent. From 1915-18 he set up shop at the WKC clubhouse near Southards Pond. Max and the Mrs. were living in the WKC shooting house when the buildings were destroyed in that 1918 blaze, supposedly due to a defective flue. MacLevy's name in connection to my coveted WKC Babylon clubhouse
first popped up in the elusive scrapbook photo that took me a year to identify from the 1935 Babylon Leader. One 1920s Babylon fire from the Brooklyn Eagle baffled me until now. On 8/30/1923 the Underhill Nursery Farm, on Great East Neck and Montauk Hwy., later Bulks Nursery and the windmill, mysteriously perished in flames. Last sentence is the clincher: farm was "formerly the MacLevy Physical Cultural Sanitarium"... yet another one bites the dust. His health and diet beliefs did have some merit. MacLevy wrote an anti-tobacco booklet cited in 1916 "American Journal of Public Health", plus a April 23, 1933 beer and exercise letter excerpted in the New York Times that warns: "flabby, unproportioned bodies are not conducive to healthy minds".
Meanwhile, on Nov. 24, 1918, the Brooklyn Eagle says the father of 1st Lieut. Edward D. Fraser Jr. sued Mac-Levy to recover $500 he paid in 1917 to furnish his ill son an attendant, outdoor sports and games and rub downs. Fraser Sr. accused the Prof of providing none, but instead, treating his son like a farmhand, making him work in the fields and eat at the same table with the help. Heavens, no! For this breach of contract, Papa Fraser got his $500 back. MacLevy had a peculiar side business. The Oct. 18,1918 South Side Signal said that at the time of the clubhouse fire, he was also raising pigs here, but about to move them to Hempstead. (Please don't tell me that poor Fraser Jr. was forced to slop hogs in the once state of the art WKC kennels.) Pork belly futures don't seem kosher. MacLevy's real name was Levy. At the time of his death in 1934, he was president of the Lynbrook temple. Bacon was verboten on the physical cultural menu too. Don Whalen, my mentor in Maryland, has an interesting theory. On his WWI draft card MacLevy lists his occupation as "farmer," a notation that would have earned him a military deferment; so by going hog wild, Max would be free to profit on his sanitarium. Location, location, location. Meandering the MacLevy maze, I'm hunting for site clues. Where, oh, where were the Westminster clubhouse and Sensation the renowned Pointer's grave during this health mania? The Professor's 1918 draft card says "Babylon" - no street clue; a 1917 NYC directory lists MacLevy's farm phone as "Babylon 185". "Max, can you hear me now?" Darn. No one answers when I call. Foot Note: Might there be a physical cultural gene? MacLevy's son Monty followed in his Dad's footsteps. He saved gals from drowning at the Lynbrook pool, opened a Milk Farm for women in Huntington, patented many pieces of fitness equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes, and even that belt contraption that shakes off your fat. Feel like you walked into the middle of a movie?

craftsmen make good use of the small crane to unload the lorries
|The forklift is used to shift timbers into their correct groupings prior to the inspection of every timber
|Each timber is carefully inspected and checked for its size, the type of conversion and the quality of the timber
|Some of the oak timbers on trestles in the yard
|Callum and Richard begin marking out - in the cold!
|Richard marks out a timber that will eventually become a turned column.
|Inside one of the barn workshops, Guy and other craftsmen begin marking out other timbers.
|Our lines marked on the end of this timber are drawn across the annual rings, each ring being one years growth for the tree
|Everyone needs a tea break
Our next few posts will be about the full size two bay 'mock up', part of the initial design for the Jacobean theatre (you may see a glimpse of it in a couple of these photos). Building the mock up has benefited us considerably and has also proved of great interest for the researchers, designers and theatre practitioners.
Seasons Greetings, Anne Payton.

Kiwi peach salsa
Aug 15th
Whew! It's been awhile since I posted–more on that later. For now, I wanted to pass along this recipe for a quick, fresh kiwi salsa I paired the other day with grilled pork loin.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Servings : About 1 1/4 cups
2 kiwis
2 peaches
1 small tomato
1/2 green pepper
1/2 small white onion
1 lime
1/8 cup cilantro leaves
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 serrano chile pepper (opt.)
Salt and pepper to taste
- Wash and dice into small pieces the peaches (I leave the skin on), kiwis (I take the skin off), tomatoes, green pepper, and onion.
- Squeeze the juice of the lime into the diced pieces.
- Remove the seeds and mince the serrano chile pepper (if using).
- Mix in the garlic and minced cilantro leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and cumin.
- Serve over grilled chicken, pork, fish, or rice.
Kids' reactions: My middle child asked for seconds of the salsa to finish off with tortilla chips. My other two kids both requested kiwi-peach salsa again.

Process automation in storage and distribution areas
Establish smart protocols to minimize risk to people, environment and asset
Market requirements in the Oil & Gas industry are changing. Over the last decades, the world has learned some difficult lessons when it comes to safe operations. Of course, safe operations around-the-clock are of vital importance and so is efficiency. You look to maximize the usage of all capacity in existing tanks, and to apply adequate inventory control, loading and custody transfer systems in tank terminals, tank depots and transport vehicles to keep up the pace with market development.
of the world tanker fleet are being independently owned. In addition, in the natural gas transport and storage network, nearly all is transported through interstate pipelines owned by at least 70 to 80 companies to over several hundred underground storage facilities. As a result, the storage and transportation represent a labyrinth needing rigorous inspections, compliance standards, and regulations.The Library of Congress - USA
Safety by choice, not by chance
We owe our good reputation to our industry know-how, and the creativity and commitment of our employees. We believe in long-term customer relationships and help you achieve what is right for you. From easy monitoring of tank and silo levels through highly accurate custody transfer Tank Gauging at tanks and the automation of terminals, we offer complete range of technologies, scalable software packages and apply uniform operating and safety concepts for simple and safety operations.

Reliable gauging and metering in safe hands
Custody metering
Certified custody metering solution for higher transparency and peace of mind. Loading/ offloading processes can lead to conflicting situations. We can support to overcome these challenges. Our highly accurate and reliable Coriolis flowmeters require minimal maintenance and recalibration. Thanks to the large meter sizes available more ships, trucks and railcars can be handled per day, increasing your transfer capacity whilst guaranteeing accuracy, transparency and safety during the process.
Safer loading thanks to higher tolerance of air content than with mechanical meters
Get your plant up and running on time and on budget due to commissioning site management
Bunker fuel metering
Replacing traditional quantity measurement by bunker fuel metering systems containing Coriolis flowmeters brings you more transparency. Indeed, the system ensures that air pockets are included correctly in the measurement when emptying tanks. And, during the fueling process, multiple process parameters are simultaneously monitored and graphically displayed as "metering profiles" via a control panel. The buyer as well as the supplier have complete transparency before, during and after fueling.
Increased profitability
Unlimited security
Higher trust
Overfill prevention in storage tanks
Tank overfills are a major concern and management teams around the world are upgrading their overfill prevention system. How do you cope with this matter?

If you ever needed any proof it's anything but roses ans sunshine over at Microsoft's Windows Phone division, it's this. The next version of Windows Phone, WP8, will run on the NT kernel, which marks a pretty substantial departure from the current release. This raises the question: will current handsets be upgradeable to WP8? First, Microsoft indicated no. Then they said yes (interview retracted). And now, they're saying no again.

The First Annual WSR Halloween
Story by Ricky G
The first annual WSR HQ Halloween party was held this year on October 30th. With not a lot of time to plan we definitely pulled it off. WSR HQ was decorated inside and out. We had black lights, food and beverages inside. When you stepped outside you were at a grave yard. T- Roy went all out on the tombstones. They read anything from RIP easy-e to RIP skiers and border patrol, all having inside jokes of course.
To start the night off we took couple and group photos by the homie Spencer Smith. Then as the night progressed we had a costume contest which Randall and I were the judges. It was hard with our own costumes being tough to decide against others. Our guy Keith Garrett won though, he was some crazy raider guy, you couldn't even tell it was him.
There were some interesting characters out. Randall and his lady had a great idea for there's they were the Roy from Siegfried and Roy ( after the attack) and the tiger itself. Me, I was just some crazy guy that would sneak up behind you and scare you and you wouldn't even know it was me with my face painted all crazy.
We had a great attendence at the party, great friends and good times. This being our first year it's just going to get better. It all ended with great 2am carne asada tacos. And a broken ping pong table thanks to my brother. Good night.

OKLAHOMA CITY– Tax season is just around the corner. Few people look forward to it, but those who are concerned they may owe taxes approach this time with particular apprehension. According to the OSCPA , there are options for those who need more time to file their returns or who are having trouble paying what they owe including:
Know your options.
If you just need a little more time to pay, you can ask the IRS for up to 120 extra days through an Online Payment Agreement available on the IRS site, www.irs.gov. You generally don't have to pay a fee for this arrangement, although you will owe penalties and interest for the late payment. If you need an extended time to catch up, then you may need an installment agreement. Under the agreement, you make monthly payments of a minimum of $25. Any future refunds for which you qualify will be used to pay off the outstanding debt. There are fees associated with an installment agreement that vary based on your income level and how the fees are paid. You can avoid the fee if you are able to pay your total outstanding taxes within 120 days. You will still be expected to file your tax returns on time and pay all future taxes in full and on time. The IRS generally doesn't take enforcement collection actions if you are applying for an installment agreement or have one.

Providence welcomes you with open arms, friendly faces, and exceptional medical care. No matter where you are in your need for medical treatment, Providence will remain dedicated to serving you: mind, body and spirit.
Providence Bariatric Care Center can help you achieve the healthy lifestyle you've always wanted, or reclaim the well-being you once had. At Providence Bariatric Care Center, there is hope for patients who have been unsuccessful with other weight loss methods.
At the Providence Bariatric Care Center, our team approach to weight loss can help you succeed where other methods and diets have failed. We specialize in providing individualized care which focuses on education, preparation, and support before, during and long after you receive your weight loss surgery. Our certified bariatric surgeons offer the most advanced procedures available, and our nurses and staff are trained to offer you the guidance and professional help you need to make a life-long change.
Thousands of patients have transformed their bodies and their health at Providence Bariatric Care Center. Now it's your turn.
The Providence Bariatric Care Center offers three bariatric procedures proven to be safe and effective – gastric band surgery, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgery – as well as body contouring.
Gastric band surgery uses an adjustable device commonly called a lap-band, placed around the top portion of the stomach to slow consumption of food and thus the amount of food consumed. A gastric sleeve procedure surgically reduces the stomach to about 25% of its original size. In gastric bypass surgery the stomach is divided into two portions, or pouches, and food is then diverted from the smaller pouch directly to the small intestine. Body contouring is surgery performed after significant weight loss has occurred, usually to remove excess skin which remains.
You will receive comprehensive counseling, education, and physician supervision to decide which procedure is right for you, and to ensure that your body is optimally conditioned for weight loss. Our Bariatric Surgeons provide weekly seminars to educate you about the process, and answer your questions about this important decision.
Bariatric surgery is not for everyone, but it might be the best choice for you. To qualify for our bariatric program the following conditions should be met:
