GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. — A fuel tanker fire on Interstate 25 near the Denver Tech Center shut down some of RTD's light rail lines for a period of time Wednesday.
The fire closed the E, F and R light rail lines between the Southmoor and Dry Creek stations for several hours, according to RTD. The tracks reopened around 3:20 p.m.

There was no damage to any of the tracks. Originally, South Metro Fire said the fire had melted some of the tracks, but that was not the case.
The fire shut down I-25 in both directions between Orchard Road and Belleview Avenue around noon.
The driver was taken to Swedish Medical Center with unknown injuries.
The Colorado Department of Transportation hopes to have all lanes reopened by the Thursday morning commute.

Must Read SKF Articles
By Crabclaw · PostedMy vote is for Endlers. Mine are the most fascinating (from a fish lovers point of view here) and cute fish in my tank, but I reckon they would be perfect for you, as mine are constantly picking on stuff! They're the only fish who eat my dreaded snail eggs (on the glass and other surfaces) which I love! Plus you don't need heaps. Males are small if you just want them for this. And you will be able to get them anywhere. I have a school of 20 embers in my tank, but I rarely see them hunting in any manner, much less on surfaces.
By sdlTBfanUK · PostedIn case it helps I have looked up the figures of the 2 tanks with cherry shrimp in them and they are as follows, Main tank PH7,, GH5, KH2, TDS 225 (mixed water) Betta tank PH7.5, GH6, KH3, TDS 222 (tap water + mineraliser) They are fairly similar to each other but neither is really in the 'IDEAL' recommendation range of CHERRY shrimp ,so it confirms that cherry shrimp are more adaptable and can thrive even outside those 'IDEAL' parameters? I suppose neither are that far out but it just shows there is a bit less necessity to get everything 100%, though if you aim for perfect you will probably get better results all round? Simon
By jayc · PostedOh, if you are planning on keeping Cherry shrimp aim for 6-8GH as Simon said above.
By sdlTBfanUK · PostedDo you know what the water parameters are of this tank? Is the new male old enough to breed, assume it is as they only need to be 3 months I think but is that a possibility? Simon
By sdlTBfanUK · PostedThe usual GH range for Cherry shrimp is 6-8 and with the 1 part tap, 3 parts RO water mix you will be 50% there for G|H and just under 4 for KH! There are 2 products, one is GH+ and one is GH/KH+ so you need to get the right one for whichever route you plan to go, all RO water would be GH/KH+, mixed water would be GH+! IF you are planning the mixed route then that would be an easy adjustment you can do now by taking 25% water out and replacing with dechlorinated tap water, then adjust with the GH+ when you get it? This is the one I use, it is so simple as it is a liquid and even calculating is easy as each drop = +1gh (about 20ish TDS) / litre: https://www.pro-shrimp.co.uk/shrimp-king/803-shrimp-king-mineral-fluid-double-gh-4001615061413.html If you want to get this I have just done a dummy test on the website and you get delivery on it as long as it is one item, which is normal, but I thought you may need to pay as it is a bulky item to send? The soil should have lots of what the plants need I would have thought and the poop from the snails/shrimp must be some fertiliser? As JayC says you could leave the CO2 running for now as there are no shrimps, but I would probably turn it off and stop using fertiliser and just keep a close eye on the plants at this stage, after all you can start using them again IF the plants start looking unhealthy, but neither may be needed and it is better to know from the start and will make life easier long term. As I say I have never used either and my plants grow fantastic, in fact I wish they would grow slower, doh! Simon

i received this gorgeous cup & saucer & tea-plate set for my birthday last week.
it is from the Royal Albert 100 Years collection, with a different pattern representing every decade.
this particular one is from the early 1900s & is called Regency Blue:
"1901 signalled the end of Victorian times & the start of the Edwardian era. after a reign of almost 60 years, Queen Victoria was succeeded by Edward VII. the Regency period ran around the turn of the century & Regency Blue is reminiscent of typical designs of the day, with rich cobalt blue & deep maroons, highlighted with gold accents."

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Instead of going to the post office to apply for a passport, the post office is coming to Pitt.
Officials from the U.S. Postal Service will be on campus Jan. 17 and 18 to renew U.S. passports for Pitt students, faculty and staff and accept new passport applications, according to the University Center for International Studies' website.
According to Wendy O'Donnell, marketing and communications manager for the University Center for International Studies, approximately 150 students, faculty and staff are expected to attend the event. Appointments scheduled before the Jan. 4 sign-up deadline will be given priority, according to the center's website. But, there is a waiting list, and O'Donnell wants to focus on getting those in, making walk-ins unlikely, she says.
The event — "Pitt U.S. Passport Day" — was Chancellor Patrick Gallagher's idea, O'Donnell said.
Bethany Rose Miga, a spokesperson for the chancellor, said Gallagher wants to prioritize global educational experiences for Pitt students and make it easier for students to travel to other countries.
"I would love to see more Pitt students interning abroad, studying abroad and traveling abroad," Gallagher said in an email. "Getting a passport is an important first step in this process. It opens up windows to the rest of the world, which students can benefit from experiencing firsthand."
The event will take place in the lower lounge of the William Pitt Union from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days, and because of popular demand, O'Donnell said it plans to hold another event in September — especially to encourage incoming freshmen to take part through the Pitt Start program this summer.
The need to apply for a U.S. passport might be urgent for Pitt students, faculty and staff in light of new legislation that could require Pennsylvania residents to use an alternative form of ID, besides their state ID, to board a flight.
The legislation, part of the Real ID Act, says Pennsylvania ID holders will not be able to use their ID to enter federal buildings, military buildings and nuclear power plants, since current licenses and IDs are not compliant with federal requirements as of Jan. 30.
Along with this, if the Department of Homeland Security does not grant Pennsylvania an extension or if the state does not comply by Jan. 22, 2018, Pennsylvania residents will need to show an alternative form of ID beside their state ID or driver's license — such as a U.S. passport — to the Transportation Security Administration to board commercial flights, which is especially important for Pitt students, faculty and staff who travel or plan to do so.
Passport photo services will be at the event, though they will cost an additional $15.
Renewing or applying for a new U.S. passport at the event will cost $150 with a passport photo and $135 without a passport photo. The passport application fee will be $110. Passport applicants will need to pay the application fee via a check written out to the U.S. Department of State. A $25 processing fee will need to be paid separately to the U.S. Postal Services by cash, check, credit or debit card.
U.S. passport applications forms will be available at the event but can also be downloaded from the U.S. Department of State's website.
Pitt students, faculty or staff who apply for a new passport or to renew their passport must bring:
- An original copy of either a valid U.S. passport, a U.S. birth certificate, a consular report of Birth Abroad, birth certificate or a certificate of naturalization or citizenship.
- Proof of identity, such as a current and valid driver's license, a recently issued certificate of naturalization or citizenship, a military ID or a Government Employee ID.
- If using an out-of-state ID, a person applying for a U.S. passport needs to bring a second ID.
- A clear photocopy of the front and back of the photo ID they plan to use as their proof of identity and a passport photo

Hi, my name is Mia McCoy; I am one of the lucky girls to go to Nicaragua with Project Lumina. Yesterday we started the day by waking up early and going surfing, which was an amazing way to start the day. But the whole time the only thing I could think about was the orphan girls who were coming to have a beach party with us. We went the day before to go meet them and invite them to the beach. They were kind of standoffish and didn't seem very excited. I was nervous for them to come because I didn't think that they liked us and I didn't want to ruin their beach day. But I was completely wrong. When they got here they immediately gave us all hugs, we became quick friends. We got partners, and the first thing my girl said to me was, "you have pretty eyes". That was when I realized I had nothing to be worried about. We painted each other's faces and went down to the beach. My partner kept telling me she was really scared to go into the ocean because she didn't know how to swim. But as soon as we got out there she grabbed my hand and we ran out into the ocean. You could tell she was having so much fun; she was smiling the whole time and would not let go of me. Then we came out and played soccer. She was amazing at it. I have never really liked to play soccer, but I had a lot of fun playing with them. She went over to some of her friends, so I went back into the ocean, when I looked over half of the girls were trying to surf. I thought it was incredible that they rarely went to the beach, didn't know how to swim, but they still wanted to learn to surf. I saw that they use every chance they get to do things they wouldn't normally be able to do because they are so isolated from these kinds of things. Then we came back and all had lunch and hung out for a little. We said goodbye, took some pictures, and they left.
Meeting them was absolutely amazing for me. They all seemed like the happiest people, and were grateful for what they had, even though they didn't have a lot. It made me realize how lucky I am to have a family. Some of the kids didn't have parents, but some did, their parents just couldn't take care of them. In a way I feel it would be worse to still have parents, but them not being able to take care of you or not wanting you. As I sit here, writing this in a hammock and looking a one of the best views I have ever seen in my life, I realized how lucky I am able to experience things like this, and know that I am going home to an amazing family. This experience made me look differently at a lot of aspects in my life, and I know will change the way I look at life forever.

In 1755, the area was originally settled at the intersection of a major Native American path and the European settlers' Great Wagon Road, both of which were trade routes. A trading post was erected to enable the transport of goods between travelers; the Native American path was called Trade Street and the Great Wagon Road became Tryon Street, named after royal governor William Tryon. By 1772, traders and settlers had built a number of log cabins in what was then called "Charlotte Town," named after the queen of Great Britain.
In 1775, local leaders exerted their will as citizens of a free country and drafted the "Mecklenburg County Declaration of Independence", the first declaration of this nature amongst the Colonies. The British objected to the document with force, and "Charlotte Town" was later described as "a hornets' nest of rebellion". Locals proudly called themselves "hornets" and fought fiercely in the wars of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Today, financial, healthcare and energy companies have replaced the trading post, and the city is growing year after year. In fact, Charlotte is predicted to eventually eclipse Atlanta as the largest city in the South.

"Thanks for not being bashful," Southampton Town Councilman Tommy John Schiavoni told about 50 members of the Noyac Civic Council on Tuesday after they boisterously voiced their hostility to a proposal to bury utility lines across Long Beach that would cost the owners of an average-priced home $26 a year in property taxes.
"I'm getting a sense of the room here," he said after listening to one speaker after another question the plan's practicality and expense.
"I don't need to go any further; you're not for this," he said. "You know what? I think I have my answer. If the Noyac Civil Council is telling me you are not happy with it, we're not going to do it," he said.
Many speakers at the monthly meeting of the council in the Old Noyac Schoolhouse expressed resentment that only about 5,000 property owners in the Sag Harbor School District would be deemed beneficiaries of the proposal and taxed. Meanwhile 20,000 ratepayers in a much wider area of the town are paying through their monthly electric bills for the 2008 burial of power lines along a four-mile stretch Scuttle Hole Road.
"We are paying for a visual benefit along Scuttle Hole Road," said Noyac Civic Council President Elana Loreto. "My nose is out of joint every time I see the fee for that on my bill. A lot of people are unhappy with that deal and we don't want to pay another tax," she added to a burst of applause.
Mr. Schiavoni said the decision to charge "the entire town" as a beneficiary of the Scuttle Hole Road project happened long before he was elected to the Town Board last year and that he did not know the rationale for it.
Another speaker, who said he had been in construction before retirement, said burying power lines so close to the water table would result in corrosion and outages. Another man warned that the state DEC and the "feds" would cause bureaucratic problems with the project, as they had with his bulkhead.
Under a new state law, the Southampton Town Board has the power to create an "Underground Utility District" where property owners that would benefit from a power-line burial project and pay a tax for it.
Proposed publicly in June by North Haven Village Mayor Jeff Sander and residents of nearby Cliff Drive in Bay Point, where Mr. Sander owns a property where his daughter lives, the proposal calls for burying the lines to improve the scenic vista and make an ongoing FEMA-funded storm-hardening project in the area unnecessary at Long Beach.
A written, maximum estimate for the work from PSE&G is $1.745 million. The cost would be defrayed by Cliff Road residents contributing $200,000 directly — they also would pay the tax for 20 years — and a state beautification grant of $125,000.
Osprey nesting poles would not be removed. The lines would be buried from the semi-roundabout at Noyac Road to the North Haven Village boundary, where underground culverts would make burying the lines any further prohibitively expensive.
As proposed, the taxing district would include Noyac, North Haven, Bay Point and the unincorporated parts of Sag Harbor in the Town of Southampton but not in the incorporated village. A woman at Tuesday's meeting, noted the Foster family decades ago donated Long Beach to the people of Sag Harbor and the Town of Southampton and asked why the incorporated village would not be included in the taxing district.
Sag Harbor Mayor Sandra Schroeder has told Mr. Sander she does not want the village to be included in the taxing district because it would be unfair that only part of the village — the part in the Town of Southampton — would be taxed.
"A guy in Bay Point is pushing this for his view," said one speaker who drew applause at the Civic Council meeting. "I don't see the logic" of the proposed taxing district boundary. "I live in Pine Neck and go to the beach there. If I go to Long Beach, I don't see the power lines" because she's on the beach facing the water.

We consider ourselves to be film fans here at Araweelo Abroad. While we lean more towards art house/ international films/ classics, we always prioritize films about the black diaspora generally and black women specifically. Here's a brief list of 5 films/docs we love. Turn one of these on the next time you're lost in the Netflix/Hulu/HBO black hole looking for something to watch!
1) What Happened Miss Simone? dir. Liz Garbus (2015)
What happened to the most exquisite musician to have ever graced the stage? What Happened Miss Simone? is a heart-breaking tale of one of the most gifted musical artists of our time. On full display are Nina Simone's turbulent relationship with her family and her attempts at seeking refuge fromboth her stardom and the racism that plagued African Americans during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. What Happened Miss Simone? Is an intimate portrayal of Nina Simone. Garbus masterfully crafts an answer to the question many of Nina Simone's fans have been asking.
2) Daughters of the Dust dir. Julie Dash (1991)
The name of this gorgeous and lush independent film by Julie Dash resurfaced when Beyoncé referenced it in the music video for her album Lemonade. The film itself is an expressionistic tale of three generations of Gullah women wo are preparing to make the migration north. The film gained praise for showcasing the Gullah people and how they've managed to preserve their African heritage, culture and rituals. It also gives a peek into the lives of these three generations of women and how they deal with troubles within themselves, their own communities and navigating desires that might steer them away from their history.
3) Pariah dir. Dees Rees (2011)
Pariah is both a coming of age and coming out story. At the center of the film is a Brooklyn teenager named Alike whose attempts at navigating her identity is thwarted by her parent's rejection and denial of her sexuality. Rees's film gives us an intimate view of a timid black queer girl in the throes of teenage self-discovery. Adepero Oduyes portrayal of the film's protagonist makes it all the more heartfelt and compelling.
4) The Watermelon Woman dir. Chantel Dunye (1996)
Chantel Dunye's mission to excavate the lives of black women in old Hollywood movies who were often left uncredited goes beyond her search for the actress only know as Watermelon Woman. Dunye's funny and thoughtful film looks closely at the complicated lives of a queer black women in the 1990s, the 1940s and today.
5) Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners dir. Shola Lynch (2013)
Free Angela Davis is a riveting documentary about Angela Davis's time behind bars after her social activism embroiled her in a botched kidnapping/murder attempt. Free Angela Davis and all Political Prisoners illustrates a rare example of when a nation rallied behind a black woman to prove her innocence and set her free.

Rethinking my place on OGFPosted by deltanz on 16 February 2017 in English (English)
The recent discussion on martinum4's diary entry regarding whether the rules of OSM should be used on OGF with the same emphasis and the fact that a lot of things done by me in my country, Neo Delta, for almost 2 years now, have never followed those rules, kept me thinking about my place in this community. I am an international relations analyst and, as much as I'm interested in urban geography, urban planning and projects such as OSM, I'm not familiar with any of those areas. I'd love to have time to study and explore those fields, but, unfortunately, I'm unable to do so at the moment. I know opinions regarding this issue vary, as Luciano and other users commented, but I can't stop thinking about the fact that I lack the basic knowledge that is needed to be a member of OGF and that really bothers me. As joschi81 mentioned, this might not be the best place for those not interested in the GIS aspect of OSM/OGF. I even struggle to work with simple aspects, such as using relations and mapping through JOSM. So, as far as I'm concern, the bottom line is: I don't want to be a member whose work is seen as problematic. The actual technology of mapping is not my main focus on OGF and I'm much more interested in the fictional politics, international and cultural affairs, and human involvement of the members and their fictional countries. Should I be editing a country on OGF?
Comment from histor on 16 February 2017 at 08:39
If OGF-countries should be fit for GIS, so first are to define, which tags are to set for what and which are needed. It is too simple, to say only: "Look at OSM".
I think, many users here miss an GIS-tutorial.
Comment from wangi on 16 February 2017 at 08:46
Well, there's no escaping that the only documentation out there on the tagging scheme in use on OGF is on the OSM wiki and related sites. There's a lot of good tutorials at learnosm.org. If you want to learn the technology, while also doing a worthwhile task then the various humanitarian OSM projects are worth considering. I wouldn't think about GIS at all really.
I don't think it would be a good use of anyone's' time to replicate that info?
Deltanz - i think your mapping is good!
Comment from eklas on 16 February 2017 at 08:55
Yes, you should keep on mapping. Your work is so much better than what other users do.
Comment from eklas on 16 February 2017 at 08:56
(I mean some other users.)
Comment from isleño on 16 February 2017 at 10:08
Not sure if you saw joschi81's later reply:
... What's the main point of this discussion? It is, clearly, an outline of two very different approaches to OGF: A creative/graphical approach on the one hand and a technical approach on the other hand.
So, the main question is: Can OGF satisfy both types of mappers (and also those who seem to follow both approaches)? The answer is: Yes! (In my opinion.)
To have a nice and consistent rendering in the OGF main layer (Mapnik) users must use the most common OSM tags anyway. So if we're talking about "mapping for renderers" here, we're not talking about basic tags that are being misused, but about details. Maybe these details concern specific ideas that users have for their own analytical work (or simply for getting a "nicer rendering"). So "misuse" is even not the right vocabulary here if people step away from OSM standards in some points. As Luciano outlines in his bliki in a way that is completely understandable in my opinion, creating your own standards in some points can be very helpful. And on the other hand: It does not destroy the OGF database.
In any case: Doing GIS analysis in OGF will in most cases be restricted to the country "belonging" to the person who does the analysis task, as it is/will be for me.
My conclusion is (I repeat myself) that mappers with a more graphical approach and those with a more technical approach (and those who combine both) can live together in the OGF world in good harmony!
(But, @deltanz and @Legendardisch, please don't put into question the use of GIS analysis in a fictional world, as of course you can analyse any dataset, no matter if it is real or imaginary data. It starts with simple tasks like e.g. measuring the area of a city. Because OGF is built upon GIS software, you don't have to measure by hand and calculate, but you get a "one-click result". There are, of course, much more complex tasks...)
Happy mapping for you all!
Comment from joschi81 on 16 February 2017 at 10:54
deltanz, please keep on mapping! I think you're doing great work. Even though you mention that the mapping itself is not your main focus, I think your country (countries?) look(s) very well so far! If you still have any questions on maping tasks, don't hesitate to ask. I think there are many people here who would love to help - if needed.
Comment from martinum4 on 16 February 2017 at 13:22
I'm sorry if my entry made you feel bad, that was never my intention... If ANYONE has any questions regarding tagging, relations and stuff like that feel free to message me. I'm not good with everything (especially tools like QGIS), but I'm willing to learn.
i agree with wangi that there are a lot of resources regarding OSM, there's also a stackexchange for it if I remember correctly. JOSM and Potlatch are the two mainly used editors, i remeber how switching from iD to JOSM for OSM really improved my tagging quality and quantity (Keyboard shortcuts <3) also there are a lot of good and useful plugins and styles, for example this is how a motorway junction in my country looks with the road attributes style.
Don't stop mapping and if you feel like you made mistakes, just correct them and move on... Related: is there a level0 editor? the one that is linked in the OGF-Overpass current link only links to the one for OSM-Data
Comment from Portopolis on 16 February 2017 at 15:49
deltanz, keep at it everyone improves over time and your country is still one of the best in OGF just the fact that most of its natural areas are mostly detailed is amazing.
Comment from Alessa on 16 February 2017 at 18:53
@deltanz, I know what you're thinking and feeling. Admittedly, I've kind of been staying away a bit the last two weeks and thinking about some of this as well. A few of the recent conversations and interactions in the community have prompted me to reevaluate my involvement beyond Mauretia's borders. Now, I'm not looking to leave--and I don't think you should too. You seem to really love the work you do. I say, keep on doing good work! The recent conversation you cited was more about philosophies of mapping. Frankly, I'm of the mindset there is room for both here on OGF. In my thinking over the last couple of weeks, I've refocused and re-purposed my plans for Mauretia. I've got a few new things I'd like to try! Beyond two locally collaborative ideas, I'm going mostly focus on my plot of land for a while. (It's not like there isn't plenty to do!) I know I love the mapping, and you seem to as well. Maybe narrowing the site focus for a couple weeks might be refreshing. It has been for me, at least.
Comment from Luciano on 16 February 2017 at 22:37
@deltanz - as you know from my many rants on the bliki, I sometimes struggle with the same feeling you have, although for different reasons: my pre-OGF background in geofiction was in support of what is termed "alternate realities" - fantasy and science fiction literatures, therefore I often feel unhappily limited or constrained by the "verisimilitude rule." The end result is still the same - I often question whether I "belong" here.
Nevertheless, I stick around. The mapping itself is fun for me, I enjoy having access to a fictional encyclopedia, and some aspects of the community interaction are quite rewarding. The very best example of this last is the interaction you and I have had (and are planning to continue, once I get some time!) over the January Islands project.
Don't leave. You can change your level of engagement when things get frustrating, and after a break, come back again for more. Anyway, I look forward to seeing your contributions to the fictional politics, international and cultural affairs of those January Islands!
Happy mapping.
Comment from deltanz on 17 February 2017 at 10:02
Hey, everyone, thank you so much for the nice words.
@martinum4 You didn't make me feel bad or anything, your post just triggered a feeling that I already had about my own mapping and I decided to open up about it, that's all, no hard feelings! ;)
@histor and @wangi, I have been doing that recently, checking OSM and the OSM wiki to get familiar with all the tools that are available here at OGF and I've learned a lot already. I just don't think I'll have much more time to deepen into that world.
@eklas, @portopolis, @joschi81 thank you so much! I admire the work you do, and those compliments coming from you really mean a lot!
@alessa and @luciano, it's good to see that I'm not the only one questioning myself here! I think this is normal, right? To have doubts regarding what we do...
I don't intend to leave, right now I'm excited about two projects (the January Islands with Luciano and some minor villages with clik), and I'm always excited about connecting with people. Throughout these last 2 years, I realized that although mapping wasn't my priority when I found this community, I have enjoyed each city I've drawn and I'm more and more into it. I'll try to balance my time here between mapping, reading, and studying the tools we have to improve on every possible aspect!
Thank you again, folks, it's been illuminating.
Comment from skquinn on 18 February 2017 at 15:29
It took a while to wrap my head around how relations (particularly boundary relations) work as well. When I first mapped the prefecture boundaries for Rhododactylia, I just mapped separate ways and overlapped segments between them. Then Luciano came in and cleaned up my "mess" and I looked at what he did and I instantly "got it".
Most of Rhododactylia has no mapped power lines, and the rail infrastructure is also lacking a bit. But I'm working on both of these and there is always the chance someone with more of an interest in these will come in and help out. Such is the advantage of mapping primarily in a blue country for the moment.
Comment from deltanz on 19 February 2017 at 04:50
@skquinn yeah, sometimes it is good to share responsibilities, I'll keep that in mind! Thank you :)

Rajesh Mahtani, Head of Strategy & Growth, SMG SEA, recently penned his thoughts on The Modern Pillars of Media.
It's a world of changes – the media planning model in today's world has been disrupted with the inclusion of data and technology at the intersection. It is time to ask ourselves this – what are the modern pillars of media that form the foundation of planning and delivering campaigns?
In his opinion, the five pillars that cater to the modern consumer journey are:
1. Discoverability
2. Conversability
3. Addressability
4. Shareability
5. Agility
The modern pillars of media are a lot more human and experiential in nature. And complex, in terms of their measurement…The key difference is that campaigns today need to not just be designed for the collective (our focus in the past), but also delivered to the individual. And with data and technology, we are able to target precisely the people we want.

"In the end they can't stop the people; they can't stop freedom. We shall have our time."
Every morning Aung San Suu Kyi wakes at 4 a.m. knowing there is nowhere she can go, that there is no prospect she will be allowed outside. Inside the mildewing two-storey villa the Burmese junta has made her prison, she meditates, sometimes for hours, before turning her attention to one of five radios tuned to stations around the world. These distant voices, broadcasts from the BBC, Voice of America, the rebel news service Democratic Voice of Burma, and others, are her only constant link with the outside world. She has no phone, no TV and no internet. Her mail is heavily censored. Often it is not delivered. The 65-year-old Buddhist lives with two long-serving maids, mother and daughter Khin Khin Win and Win Ma Ma, who have been sentenced with their employer for this final stretch of house detention.
After 15 years, the Myanmarese opposition leader is expected to be released from house arrest in less than 48 hours.

Plans for nearly 200 new homes in Mayfield were rejected last week by councillors sitting on the Midlothian planning committee.
The application by BDW Trading for 179 dwelling houses and 20 flats on land north of Oak Place was refused after councillors followed officers' recommendation to refuse.
Officers' reasons for refusal included a lack of local school provision, only 20 per cent of the site being affordable homes instead of the required 25 per cent, and over-development of the site which is allocated for 63 residential units.
Robert Hogg, chairman of Mayfield and Easthouses Community Council, one of the groups which objected to the plans, said: "The reason we disapproved of the plans was because they trebled the number of houses and the pressure it would have on the local community infrastructure. We are not against new houses being built but that is just far too much. We are delighted with the decision. It's good for local groups to see that the council is listening to them."

Grant-in-Aid for international Scientific Research
Cytochrome C_3, an electron-transfer possessing four hemes per molecule, is one of the most promising materials of the bioelectric devices due to its specific electrochemical and electric properties. The present study is devoted to the characterization of cytochrome C_3 solidstate film and of the monolayer of cytochrome immobilized on the electrode surface.The Hall mobility of the cytochrome C_3 solid-state film was immeasurably small regardless of the oxidation state of cytochrome C_3. The resistivity of the film in its fully oxidized state was 10^<13> OMEGAcm.The assignment of the NMR signals of hystidine and one phenylalanine residues was established. The study on the roles played by these residues on the intramolecular electrontransfer is now underway.It was found from UV-vis reflectance spectroscopic measurement that (1) horse heart cytochrome c adsorbed on a bare surface maintains its native redox activity, which disappears after a short period, and (2) a thiol molecule possessing a carboxyl terminal group exhibits a function to regulate the redox potentials of cytochrome C_3.Raman scattering signals of cytochrome c immobilized on the bis(4-pyridyl) disulfidemodified silver electrode could be selectively observed due to the resonance effect at a wavelength of the Soret band. The spin and coordination states of heme iron of cytochrome c were analyzed using Raman scattering techniques.

Template talk:Hot dogs

Koegel Meat Company, Abbott's Meat & CI restaurant links[edit]
I hope this will not create an edit war, but I have removed the links to the Koegel Meat Company and Abbott's Meat again. My rationale the first time was admittedly unclear, so I hope this will make it clearer. The articles for those companies both state that the authors of "Coney Detroit" consider these companies' products as the only acceptable ones to use in a Coney Island hot dog, citing a newspaper article about the book. While this fact is definitely relevant on their respective articles, and may warrant incorporation into the article Coney Island hot dog, the opinion of one book's authors does not warrant their inclusion in the template. -- Keith Lehwald (talk) 06:08, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- No, this is a second reason, not a clarification of the first, advertising. You seem not to know much as you went as far as to remove a type of restaurant, Coney Island restaurant, that serves Coney Dog and originated the Coney Dogs, under the same reason. Most of them are single location companies and there isn't a trademark on the name. So neither reason applies. That would be like removing a wikilink for "hot dog stand" from the template, if there was an article on them. The book should have greater standing then your opinion as it is published by Wayne State University Press as this is WP after all. Spshu (talk) 22:47, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Here's a little sermon illustration for children (and adults): There are some things you never forget. I'll never forget the time when my brother and I held the Winter Olympics in our basement. We were 6 years old and we had been watching the Winter Olympics on TV. We got so excited as we looked at the people going on the bobsled rides zooming down really fast. And we loved watching those guys go off the huge ski jump. So we decided that we were going to hold the Winter Olympics right there in our basement. Now we had some steps going down to our basement. So what we did for the ski jump was to simply take a running start off the top of the stairs and see how long we could jump down below. It was kinda dangerous but thankfully we didn't get hurt. For the bobsled, we had the idea of taking my mom's laundry basket and both of us sitting in it and sliding down the stairs as fast as we could. I must admit, we wiped out a few times!
Now, were we really in the Olympics? Were we really Olympic athletes? No, we were pretending to be something that we were not. Do you know that many people in this world and many people who go to church are pretending to be Christians but they are really not. They say all the right things, but their lives are no different than those who are not Christians. Their words don't match their actions.
Jesus told us that this is really serious. In the Bible, he spoke to his disciples one day and told them three pictures of what it means to be a true Christian. Mt. 7:13-14 (Two Ways), Mt. 7:15-20 (Two Trees), Mt. 7:24-27 (Two Houses).

More Flowers, Less Leaves
Hello! I want to ask a question that has been on my mind for a while, but I never did an experiment. I want to grow some flowers out front of my place. I know of a lot of pretty varieties, but I don't like all the leaves that they produce; tends to make them look "weedy" to me, and takes away from their beauty. (I already have packets of Bachelor Buttons and Carnations, and want to try some others.) Is it possible to strip some of the green leaves from flowers without harming them? Maybe it would help put more energy into producing more robust flowers, even? What do you say about such an act? Whatever you say, I will do, and thanks very much in advance for your answer.
Leaves are what provide energy, through photosynthesis, that allows a plant to flower. Especially with an annual flower, reduced leaf surface, just like shade, leads to fewer flowers. Bachelor buttons do not need fertilization and adding nitrogen fertilizer increases leafy growth. Carnations come in two varieties, running/ spreading and clump forming. Regardless of type, pinch or trim back the flower buds and top sets of leaves on each stem on Memorial Day and 4th of July. This produces a shorter but more floriferous display later in the season. Pinching back bachelor buttons will result in a bushier, shorter plant. The more stems it has the more flowers since flowers occur at each stem tip. Perhaps a smaller plant, through pinching back will look better to you. Dead-head often to tidy up the plants. Another option is to grow a small size annual in front of the buttons to hide the leaves. Petunias, short marigold varieties or dwarf blanket flower would work.

No Talent Needed – Just Ask Miley Cyrus
26 Aug, 2013 by Christian Hamilton
Print this article Font size -16+
I really, probably, shouldn't but I am going to take a minute to talk about the travesty that was aired last night that was once known as the VMAs but what can know easily be seen as simply a direct assault on the sensibility of humanity. I have seen a lot of shock and awe at the Miley Cyrus performance and here is my take on it.
We as a whole have condoned this type of behavior within the youth of America. The Pop Culture in America has been enabled by people that choose to look the other way or somehow find a way to excuse the type of obnoxious behavior witnessed last night. It has glamorized, rationalized and normalized youth pregnancy with shows like 16 and pregnant. It has taught the American youth that being pretty is far more important than being smart as it boasts shows that parade children around in more makeup than a drag queen prostitute walking the Seattle strip all in an attempt to be crowned a "Beauty Queen".
Talented musicians with morals and ethics and did I mention TALENT ? are often placed aside and replaced by the far less talented musician that is willing to exploit themselves for what they call "Art" or "Freedom of expression" in an attempt to drive ratings. They spew hatred in their lyrics and exploit impressionable children with sexual acts and content far beyond what their years could allow them to understand. Their vulgar acts directly reflect their vulgar lyrics. They are demeaning, they are disgusting and they are NOT art but we allow this type of behavior to come into our homes thus becoming "Normal".
It has become clearer and clearer that talent is not needed to make it onto the stage of what used to be the coveted, the Mecca of music. MTV is rich, full of lackluster talent used to draw attention not to music but rather to a parade of spectacles that has a sole purpose of shocking the public into talking about them again. It is much like we saw with the Boston Bomber on the cover of the Rolling Stone, these once giants in the music industry are now fighting for survival and they are banking on the de-evolution of Pop Culture to drive sales and ratings and its working.
I, for one, am not shocked at all by the actions of the former Mickey Mouser.. Hana Montana.. Whatever. I am actually sad that this is now the new normal and what were once fads only seen in the raunchiest of night clubs are now mainstream enough to air for the entire world to see without regret or repercussions… That is until it becomes our children acting out this way but then its already too late and we will be left wondering…. how….

Hi! I'm Emily. Welcome to Good Medicine Nutrition!
I didn't have a health crisis. Nothing broke down. There was nothing outwardly wrong with me. But still I felt… uncomfortable in my own skin. I suffered from depression & anxiety off & on. I leaned on alcohol, drugs & cigarettes to cope with difficult feelings, or sometimes, boredom. I leaned on food – sometimes eating too much & sometimes not eating enough. I leaned on exercise.
When I transformed my diet, my life transformed in every other aspect as well. I no longer suffered from depression or anxiety, my mood mellowed, my body weight balanced, I had more energy, I drank less, I quit smoking, I sweat less, my body odor disappeared, my skin cleared up. Why didn't anyone tell me that these things that I thought were just a normal part of life could be remedied - significantly - through food?
The connection between food and our physical, mental & spiritual well-being is undeniable. Learning to tune into how food makes you feel, what foods work best for your body & freeing yourself from diet-culture has profound effects on your health & well-being in the long term.
I don't preach a specific program for my clients. Everyone is unique. Each person comes with their own story, their own relationship to food, their own coping mechanisms, unique biology, unique lifestyle. My job is to help you heal your relationship with food, your body & your health. You may be surprised when other parts of you (emotionally, spiritually) start to heal as well.
I want to empower you with all the tools & knowledge you need to make decisions about what you eat for the rest of your life. I don't want you to count calories or macros, I don't want you to deprive yourself of your favorite foods. I want you to LOVE what you're eating every day because it tastes amazing and makes you feel even better.
I want you to know you don't have be experiencing a total breakdown in health to seek assistance in rebuilding your relationship with food. Some of us do experience health crises and that's okay. That's your body talking to you loud and clear. But sometimes the voice is quiet. You want to respond to it, but don't know how. What you're eating every single day is the first step.
Other conditions I work with: diabetes prevention and management, healing the gut, autoimmune conditions, endometriosis, PCOS, depression, anxiety, brain health & aging gracefully.

Student leadership
School Monitors
The King's School selects its prefects (known as Monitors) on an annual basis. Students in Year 11 apply in writing to be a Monitor and attach a resumé to their application. Staff are invited to vote for candidates from the incoming Year 12 cohort and this is followed by a peer vote where the whole Year group selects its best candidates. This information is collated, a short list drawn up and these young men then proceed to an interview phase. At the conclusion of the interviews a recommended list of Monitors is given to the Headmaster for his consideration.
The newly appointed Monitors attend a leadership training day, and after this initial training, they meet regularly with the Deputy Headmaster and the Director of Leadership to discuss issues related to School leadership. The Monitors work in portfolio groups to manage the key elements of school life.
A 'Captain's Court' also exists, which is a disciplinary court chaired by the School Captain and two other Monitors, to hear cases of bad student behaviour. The court has the power to issue detentions and recommend other sanctions.

Woman Walking Her Dog
Tucson has a thriving art community, especially for photographers. Created by Justin Haugen, Tucson Aspiring Professional Photographers is a Facebook group that has been uniting local photogs to learn from and be inspired by each other. We often put on "photo walks" where we meet to practice and exchange ideas and techniques. I was at one of these photo walks in Downtown Tucson , working with one model and another photographer when I saw this woman across the street walking her dog. Nothing exceptional, the kind of thing you see hundreds if not thousands of times in a city. But something about the location, and the eagerness of the little dog, and the way the woman was holding the leash, all caught my eye.
This is in my personal top five, but I can't explain why I love this image so much. There may be a technical reason why I find it pleasing. The negative space of the blank wall draws attention to the subject in a way that blah blah blah. I don't care. I just really love this picture. Or maybe it reminds me of my childhood dog.

salmon fish and chips
One of the things I miss from the Pacific Northwest is salmon fish and chips. It is not something that can be found in Houston, Texas. I found a recipe from Bobby Flay and decided to give it a try.
This was good. I will probably try other recipes but this is a good one. It works very well with the salmon flavors. Which means it is a keeper. I will also try it with other beers because I was given a nut brown ale. Free beer is always a good place to start. Especially since I do not drink the stuff.
I need to make this this weekend actually. Craving fish and chips again.
salmon fried fish
Note: I used Bobby Flay's recipe as a go by.
2 pounds salmon, skinned and cut into strips. Pull any bones you can find
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon pepper
12 ounces nut brown ale
2 large egg whites, beaten until form stiff peaks
Canola oil for frying
Put the canola oil in a large dutch oven (I use a cast iron chicken fryer) and heat until 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put 1 cup of flour in a shallow pan for dredging.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together. Mix in the nut brown ale. Let sit for 10 minutes. Mix in the egg whites.
Use the remaining salt and pepper to salt and pepper the fish. Dredge in the plain flour. Knock off the extra. Dredge in the batter.
Fry both sides until golden. Keep warm in the oven.
I served it with roasted french fries. So good.
This is a good place to start and I will probably tweak but it does mean I do not need to take a trip to Fairhaven for salmon fish and chips!

KH7 Stain Remover
KH-7 Stain Remover is a pre-wash product with a spray head for easy application; it is extremely effective against stains but gentle on fabrics.
Its comprehensive enzyme-based formula makes it highly effective against most stains, particularly:
Grease, Oil, Chocolate, Wine, Blood, Ink from ballpoint pens, Tomato, Fruit, Yoghurt, Egg, Grass, Collar and cuff stains, Sweat, Make-up and many more
Apply directly on the fabric so that it penetrates the stain.
Leave to work for at least a couple of minutes, but without allowing it to dry. Leaving any kind of detergent on the garment for too long can damage the fabric.
There is no need to rub. Rubbing the stain does not increase the action of the product and can damage delicate fabrics or affect the colour of garments on which poor quality dyes have been used.
Proceed to wash the garment as you normally would (by hand or in the machine).
Do not use on wool, leather, suede, linen, silk or delicate fabrics.
Follow the instructions on the label of the garment to be washed. When washing the garment for the first time, read the manufacturer's washing instructions.
To check the strength of the fabric/colour, test the product on a small hidden area (hem, inside of a pocket).
For the best results, remove the stain as soon as possible and before washing.
If the product is accidentally swallowed it may be necessary to seek medical advice. A large dose may cause gastrointestinal irritation, depression of the central nervous system and even loss of consciousness.
Keep out of children's reach.
In the event of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Inflammation of the eyes is characterised by redness, streaming eyes and stinging. If you use contact lenses, remove them.

Most of you know my Mother was visiting, after a very long absence of almost six years. She left yesterday and I do have to say I miss her so much already. It is funny how the relationship with your Mother changes through the years. From this ocean of love and comfort who rubs your skinned knees and makes you warm tea with toast when you are sick with a fever, to a General you must endure when you are a teenager and trying to sneak out of the house at midnight (ehem!). Then you become sort of like friends in your early adulthood, someone who has opinions you don't always agree but it is a very civil relationship of sorts. With small children under tow the opinions get stronger, you examine your childhood, the things you want to change and those you want to never repeat, to those you wish to continue instilling in your progeny.
Now I find myself seeing my Mother from a different point of view. Not one of "endurance" or "admiration", but one of complete acceptance. I know her so well and can see her dark spots and where they come from, and also see the amazing light that shines within. I loved every minute of having her here with me, and I hope she returns very soon. It is one very funny thing to feel "mothered" when you are so used to being the one in that position.
My mother learned to make dolls while she was with me. I guess the amazing pile of fibre, wool and fabrics surrounding me, the constant chat about dolls, and Hermione and Melina specifically, inspired her. She decided to start easy and went about making a few of those Wee Babies you all love. She has an eye for quality work and I learned a thing or two from her. She kept browsing one very large book about Gnomes we have at home, which we had to let go because she just couldn't put it down, and has a very determined plan to create a few dolls herself. I am so excited for her, because I know how doll making has changed me, and I expect she will reap so many benefits by letting her constant creativity flow through a doll.
So, I will have a few of the dolls she made up for sale in a day or two. I will have to keep one for me, to remind me of this special moment we shared, and because Eva keeps nagging that she doesn't have one yet. I expect to load them in the store on Wednesday morning at 9 am EST and then I will have a larger group I have finished myself by the weekend, some of which will be available for purchase here on the blog comment-style for new families who do not own a Fig&me Wee Baby yet. After that, I do hope I can introduce my three first dolls of the year, but for now we turn our eyes to those little balms of cashmere embrace, it feels nice to hold them in my hands and remember my Mom working on them by the window.
Hope you have a fantastic week!.
