People can get sick from eating shellfish polluted with bacteria from boat waste discharges. When bacterial pollution makes shellfish harvest restrictions necessary, our recreational and commercial shellfish industries suffer. Even small amounts of sewage discharges over or near shellfish beds can cause enough pollution to require harvest closures. Studies and modeling have shown that pollutants from vessel discharges are typically much higher than state water quality standards. Pollutants can quickly reach sensitive resources and pose a risk to water quality and public health.
An NDZ connects a missing piece in the state's Puget Sound Action Agenda and joins other larger investments in sewage treatment: on-site septic systems, stormwater management and agricultural runoff control. The Puget Sound Partnership has identified an NDZ petition as a key action for the Shellfish Restoration initiative in the Action Agenda. Federal law pre-empts states from regulating vessel sewage, but states may request an NDZ from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. More than 90 NDZs exist in 26 states to address pollution problems. The proposed Puget Sound NDZ would be the first in Washington.
Washington state boaters practice good stewardship of our waters. The vast majority of vessels already have holding tanks for use at pumpout facilities or to hold their sewage (blackwater) until they reach the ocean for discharge.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that a no discharge zone can be established for Puget Sound. We went through a five year stakeholder process.
Read the petition to EPA and Ecology's supplemental letter. EPA made an affirmative determination allowing us to move forward with a No Discharge Zone rule.
We plan to take an educational approach. The public has a good track record of making informed choices to change practices when they understand the problem and the actions they need to take. In the proposed zone, eliminating discharges would help relieve pollution pressure on Puget Sound as efforts to curtail other pollution sources continue. With the NDZ, state and local agencies will be able to ensure that all mariners prevent their vessels from discharging sewage into Puget Sound.
Most vessels will require no changes at all, but some will.
There are approximately 153,000 registered recreational vessels in the Puget Sound area. Ninety-five per cent have holding tanks or no toilets, and do not discharge. Therefore, they can comply with the NDZ with no changes. There are about 2,000 to 4,000 recreational vessels that have a federally-approved treatment system called a Type I or Type II Marine Sanitation Device (MSD).
These need conversion to holding tanks (Type III MSD). Recreational boat holding tanks typically cost about $500 plus installation costs. A typical operating fee to pump out a recreational boat tank is $0-$25. There are currently more than 173 pumpout units in 102 locations, and 21 pumpout boats available for recreational vessels, far more than the criteria for NDZ designation. And more pumpouts continue to be added to popular boating locations.
In Puget Sound, there are approximately 3,600 commercial vessels. These include bulk and auto carriers, container ships, cruise ships, tugs, refrigerated carriers, roll-on roll-offs, tankers, excursion vessels, government vessels, ferries, workboats and commercial fishing vessels. Approximately 94 per cent of the commercial vessels have holding tanks or no toilets/no discharge. That leaves about 215 commercial vessels based in Puget Sound with Type I or Type II treatment systems which would need to add holding capacity.
These include 100 tugs, 100 fishing (estimated out of 350), three NOAA research ships, and six to eight small passenger cruise ships. Commercial vessels that pump out their sewage use stationary pumpouts (such as the ferries, government vessels and some smaller commercial vessels), or mobile pumpouts, pumper trucks or discharge out at sea. Additional pumpout capacity is in the process of being added to provide additional options for commercial vessels. Tug operators have indicated that it would cost $161,000 to add a holding tank. Costs for the other vessels are unknown at this time.
There are currently eight stationary pumpouts dedicated to Washington State Ferries (WSDOT ferries), three dedicated to U.S. Navy vessels, one dedicated for the Victoria Clipper vessels, one for the department of Corrections to McNeil Island and three at the Port of Bellingham cruise terminal area, one of which is used for Alaska Marine Highway vessels and two other pumpouts that can serve other commercial vessels. Two more commercial pumpouts are being installed, one in Seattle for all commercial vessels and another at the Port of Bellingham mostly for fishing vessels.
Mobile pumpout boats provide services to recreational and some commercial vessels. There are 23 mobile pumpout vessels, which primarily service recreational boats, but some have serviced commercial vessels such as charter boats, fishing vessels, USCG vessels and passenger vessels. The boats have a capacity between 40 gallons and 450 gallons. There is also interest from some companies to expand to larger capacity if the need for commercial pumpout increases. Geographically, the mobile pumpout boats cover vast areas as they are able to move to vessels, though some stay within their marina or harbor area.
There are a number of companies that specialize in commercial marine work and pumpout commercial vessels holding tanks. The companies currently pump sewage from a variety of vessels including tugs (Harbor Island and other areas), fishing, Navy and USCG vessels, some smaller cruise ships and other vessels. For some larger vessels that are there for a period of time, some companies put a poly tank on the dock and then pump that out. Vessels are set up with camlock type fittings and also have universal fittings for larger vessels. Hoses can be extended to reach vessels.
In addition to these companies that specialize in pumping out vessel sewage, there are approximately 140 licensed or certified pumper truck companies in the Puget Sound area that primarily pumpout septic tanks, but can also potentially pumpout vessel sewage (many doing so currently). About half of those contacted do or are willing to pumpout commercial vessel sewage at a variety of docks and ports, with an occasional challenge of load. County health departments each have their own processes for certifying and listing pumper trucks that service their county.

Psi Another Day by D.R. Rosensteel
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Psi Another Day revolves around Lynn, a pyschic fighter from the Academy whose mission in life is to fight evil. Pretty cliche, I know but get this – even the opposite team is psychic and go by the term of Walburgi Knights. They are trying to get the secret location of the Academy (why?) and since everyone is in masks, this just becomes a mystery. There is kidnapping and drug rings involved but let's not delve into that now. I was excited because dude, psychic weapons sounded so cool. You just create them from your mind, even the ones with unfortunate names. It is really frustrating when a book with a good premise turns out to be terrible and that is what happened with this one. I could get over the cheesiness of the names and the whole black-and-white thing, but for heaven's sake, could the plot be reasonable? Of an entire Academy of trained psychic fighters, including the Four who are like Masters of the Mental Arts (unfortunate name, see?), only Lynn can crack down on the drug and child trafficking ring in her school? I mean, really?
Secondly, as much as a like a bad-boy-turning-good, I have a special place in hell for bullies. A bully cannot be justified as having a bad childhood, opting to third-grade tactics like pulling pigtails to get the attention of the girl – that's no reason to pick on weaker kids, okay? Next, the characters – too many of them, no depth, boring and nearly everyone is predictable. Hell, I could even guess who the Scallion was going to be, and I wasn't even in the story. But does Lynn get it? No, she goes for the non-obvious one because she doesn't like them. This could have been a reasonably good book if not ruined by terrible storytelling. Sigh, not continuing with this series.

If you've worked on loading your music collection onto your computer, you may have asked yourself, "How did I get this many CDs?"
And you may wondered just how much time it would take to go through your entire collection, disc by disc.
Which is precisely why Chicago resident Greg Frost started his company, Ripit Digital (www.ripitdigital.com) three months ago.
His girlfriend got an iPod digital music player as a holiday gift.

BRENDA & DARRYL are one of the five couples I'm really close to. They share a lot of their interests, themselves and their home with their friends. And Brenda, in true Barefoot Contessa fashion, whips up meals that are so good they could only be cooked with love. Whether whipped up in minutes or really slaved about over a hot stove, her cooking has always been superb. I would raise my feet if only to let her know that meals at their place have always deserved more than my two thumbs up.
I still have vivid recollections of the Mexican Christmas Party we had at their Singapore home. She rolled out a spread that appealed to the shameless recipe requester in me. I just had to learn how to make her Mexican Rice (I've a feeling this is her original, based on her understanding of what Mexican flavors are), Pan-grilled Pork served with freshly made Pineapple Salsa, and Chicken Fajitas. For dessert, she made Churros con Chocolate, spiking the chocolate with a little chilli, making it oh so wicked and oh so Jacques Torres.
Yesterday, a Saturday, they organized a day of recreation at East Coast Park. The original plan said we would have breakfast at Old Town White Coffee, the one at Playground @ Big Splash, and then we would have the whole day to "unwind." It was the unwind part that I was so breathless in anticipation of. There are just weeks when you just wish there would be a time to exhale.
I shall now refer to Old Town as the most leisurely luxurious meal of the non-fastfood, non-hawker kind that can be had here in Singapore. It rings true to their trademarked tag line at the back of their receipt, "take your time™". I had the Old Town Soup Egg Noodles, Kaya & Butter Steam Bread, a Basket of Sausages, and a cup of Hot Mocha White Coffee. The egg noodles were swimming in a most flavorful broth, almost with the hint of the sweetness of corn. I fell in love with the bread, so delicate and tender after being steamed.
After a full breakfast, we rented a couple of four-seaters at the bicycle shop. I was so excited with the thought of taking in the view of the famed 15-km. shoreline that 7.5 million visitors see each year. When the ride I shared with Loradel and Alvin made it past the initial downward slope, Brenda handed me a print out of the shore line and said that we should take a photo in front of each of the land marks identified on the map. It was one of those moments that made me look up in the sky, scratch my head and say, "I didn't see that coming!" But how could I not, when every event Brenda and Darryl have organized has some sort of surprise twist to it, or sometimes, just the best "special effects" and props like those for the games during our Christmas Party. Their 40+-inch TV was perfect for providing the slides and the backdrop to our party.
Negotiating the stretch of the shoreline was much more challenging than I had initially hoped. Haha! So when we had completed most of the necessary photo stops, we took our sweet time at one of the free barbecue pits (they could be reserved for a fee, online), soaked in the amazing view of the water, and even got our feet "dirty" in the powdery sand. I've never been a beach person. But the little time spent at East Coast Park made me reconsider. Especially when we decided to take more than a kilometer's walk back.
Lunch was at McDonald's, before we headed to Marine Bowl for a couple of rounds of friendly but competitive pin tumbling. All the pedaling and walking didn't take a dent on our energy levels. Each one bowled for the win – losers were to pay, after all. Haha! The final tally? It was even.
From East Coast Park, we took a taxi ride to Velocity Mall at Novena to claim our singlets, bibs and runner's kit for the Safari Zoo Run 2012. If us enduring the day's busy and physically demanding schedule is any indication, then I have a good feeling that I'd make it through the 6km Zoo Fun Run I signed up for.
Of course, the Fun Run is yet another one of Brenda and Darryl's influences on me (though I used to run back in the Philippines). And for that and a really full-packed, fun Saturday, thanks!

On the day that many public sector workers go on strike, I urge you all to remember us unpaid, overworked family carers who cannot strike to improve the inhumane conditions that this government, and the last, and the governments before that have elected that we work in order to prop up the NHS and social care systems.
You would like an improvement in your pay and working conditions? Well so would we. And a percentage increase will not help us. Both 0% and 100% of NOTHING is still ZIP.
And yet family carers provide £119bn worth of work for the state. (And that's the three-years-ago figure.) The actual cost of the care we are relied on to provide for free is astronomical.
Last month we family carers went on a virtual strike to demonstrate this massive cost . On 21 June, 988 virtual strikers logged up 23,712 virtual strike hours, an agency cost of £355,680. But if they had fallen dead of exhaustion – and working round the clock for months, years on end makes this a distinct possibility – the annual replacement cost would have been £130 MILLION. Multiply that by the millions of carers the state is relying on to work these inhumane hours and you can see you have a problem.
Apart from the Guardian and Carers World Radio, this strike was largely unacknowledged. Our plight is a matter of indifference to many who fight for other forms of social justice. Owen Jones didn't talk about our conditions, neither did Polly Toynbee. Russell Brand didn't take off his shirt in sympathy for our cause.
But folks – just because you pretend we don't exist doesn't mean that we're not here. Carers have as good a case as other – clearly more politically sexy – strikers. And we're not going away. In fact, we're not able to go anywhere
The next Carers' Virtual Strike will be FRIDAY 21 Nov 2014. Please support it. If you think your hours are tough, your pay is poor, look at our lives and remember, everything is relative.
So how can you help?
Everyone – and particularly political parties – Read and understand our Carers Manifesto
Unions? We want, we need union representation as carers. Unison, Unite can't you go beyond expressions of sympathy and find some way of having an allied chapel specifically of family carers?
Public? please read and sign this 38 degrees petition, demanding better recognition and rights for home carers
You can listen to – and download – the Carers World Radio podcast on the first Carers Virtual Strike here. (I apologise for my slightly stammering delivery, I was having a number of little seizures as I spoke.).

Kevin Famuyiro 2 of 20 Image By: Getty ImagesGaga FactorLady Gaga was on top of the world until she suddenly wasn't anymore. Her most recent album "ARTPOP" was dismal in comparison to her previous efforts.

Image By: Getty ImagesAlec FactorAlec Baldwin was THE Baldwin brother in the day but his mojo evaporated over the years, especially recently with the bigoted gay comments he allegedly made. Image By: Getty ImagesJessica FactorJessica Biel was primed for some kind of takeover but her star never really rose past her "7th Heaven" days and bit film roles. Image By: Getty ImagesAshley FactorAshley Tisdale had a lot going for her following "High School Musical," but it ended up being a launching pad to minor celebrity stardom. Image By: Getty ImagesLindsay FactorLindsay Lohan is more renowned for being a wreck than for her talents. Image By: Getty ImagesCourteney FactorCourteney Cox's "It" factor began to dissolve slowly after her run on "Friends." Image By: Getty ImagesAshton FactorAshton Kutcher has the looks to be a major movie star but that opportunity has gradually passed as he pursues more tech-based projects. Image By: Getty ImagesSophia FactorSophia Bush was gunning to be the next major entertainment news host but that never fully realized itself for whatever reason. Image By: Getty ImagesOrlando FactorOrlando Bloom was everyone's "Lord of the Rings" crush, but following the huge "Pirates" franchise that was overshadowed by Johnny Depp's brilliant performance as Jack Sparrow, we never really got to see what Orlando could've been. Image By: Getty ImagesKate Factor"Almost Famous" made Kate Hudson THE It girl of the early aughts. She still glows - just not like those glory days. Image By: Getty ImagesEthan FactorEthan Hawke was the alternative love interest of the '90s when the alternative WAS the mainstream, but he's since settled into more serious roles. Image By: Getty ImagesSam FactorEveryone was placing bets on Sam Worthington to be, like, the next Bruce Willis or something, but "Avatar" appeared to be his career summit. Image By: Getty ImagesLeighton FactorLeighton Meester was the queen of mean on "Gossip Girl," but after the series wrapped, her career cooled down. Image By: Getty ImagesBlake FactorThe same goes for "Gossip Girl's" Blake Lively who everyone had their eye on, but she's since disappeared into her marriage with Ryan Reynolds. Image By: Getty ImagesVince FactorIn the heyday of the '90s, Vince Vaughn had a crazy cool charm and charisma about him. He's since packed that all in as time progressed. Image By: Getty ImagesVanessa FactorVanessa Hudgens nabbed the lead role of a tween lifetime with "High School Musical." Years later, she's transitioning into a more mature star, trying to break through again with minor buzz for films such as "Spring Breakers." Image By: Getty ImagesRyan FactorRyan Reynolds was the actor of the summer, appearing in everything from romantic comedies to action movies, but his star has faded as of late thanks to poor film role choices. Image By: Getty ImagesKirsten FactorKirsten Dunst was the girl who every actor and director wanted to work with...a decade ago. < Previous Next >

He tried to get the sticker off the second I put it on him!
This last month he has learned some new skills! Sawyer can climb the stairs now (scary)! He can stand up on his own (when he chooses to)! He dances, covers his head to play peek a boo, grew another tooth, and sometimes will sign please!
He is talking more and more! He has been saying mama for awhile now, but I'm not convinced it counts as his first word. Doesn't he have to know what it means for it to count?! He also says baba and something else that sounds a lot like bye when he waves good bye to you. And when I say waves good bye I actually mean puts his arm out in a Hitler like motion without moving his fingers or hand at all. We're working on that.
Sawyer has gone through a growth spurt! We were doing so well in the 6-9 month clothing, I really thought we were going to make it to the fall! But I got out some of his 12 month jammies because his 9 month ones were just getting a little too snug, and they are already almost too small! I don't know what happened. Maybe he stretched out the 9 month ones so much that they are actually closer to 12 month size now? Who knows. But we are probably going to skip right over 12 month clothes and go straight to 18 mo. Crazy!
We are also going through a little bit of stranger danger and just overall afraid-ness. (That's a word, right?!) Which is strange because he has always been mister fearless! But somethings that used to not scare him at all (the lawnmower, the shower turning on, and grandpa Elmo) are totally freaking him out! We don't get it at all!
Sawyer is a maniac in the food department! Man can this kid put it away! He eats pretty much everything now and can not get enough. His favorites are bread, cheese, chicken, beef, scrambled eggs, and pasta. He is starting to slow down on his bottles, and it is sometimes a struggle to get him to finish them. We also are officially done breastfeeding/pumping. My milk supply was really diminishing, and with me going back to school soon, it was the right time for us to stop. Sawyer doesn't seem to mind at all, and I have to say, I'm pretty happy to have my body back.
Sawyer's favorite things are the bath, tearing every item off of his shelves, feeding himself, opening and closing doors, and his daddy. Sawyer and I were in Tacoma for two weeks and seeing those two reunited was just the cutest thing. They have such a special connection.
When we were in Tacoma Sawyer had a little bit of a runny nose and it developed into quite the fever that hit 104 after 3 days and took us to the ER at 3am one morning. It was pretty scary for me, but my happy guy still had a smile on his face most of the time and we left with an antibiotic and some pedialyte and he got a lot better after that!
Sawyer also loves to give kisses! He will grab your face and just dive in with his mouth open and slobber everywhere. It seriously melts my heart. There's a flipagram of it on my instagram if you want to die of cuteness. ;)
I know this looks like such a goofy face, but I couldn't help but include it because it is just so Sawyer. He makes this face and yells ahhahhahhahhahhahh and bounces up and down. It just cracks me up.

Positively Picasso
In celebration of our new and expanded art category, this week's homepage theme is dedicated to none other than Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). Portero has been lucky enough to secure more than a handful of signed and limited edition lithographs and etchings, and I thought that such beauty was worthy of notice on this little blog.
I particularly like that although Picasso had such a defined style, he went through an amazing number of "periods" that now distinguish his work. From the Blue to the Rose to Cubism and from sculpture back to painting, these works are now a part of art's global lexicon.
Picasso also has another interesting tie-in to our site: his daughter, Paloma. As many of you know, she is a jewelry designer who has worked with Tiffany & Co. for many years. Her contemporary designs are mainstays at the storied jeweler.
If you want to learn more about how art sells in the marketplace, there are great sites like artnet that help you with resale value and art valuation. If you become a member, you can find out about specific artists at the click of a button, like right here with Picasso.
We're pretty familiar with how Picasso saw the rest of the world, but if you're not sure how he saw himself, just take a look at this Self-Portrait (1907) for an idea:

Forbidden lines, in astronomical spectroscopy, bright emission lines in the spectra of certain nebulae (H II regions), not observed in the laboratory spectra of the same gases, because on Earth the gases cannot be rarefied sufficiently. The term forbidden is misleading; a more accurate description would be "highly improbable." The emissions result from electrons in long-lived orbits within the radiating atoms—i.e., the transition from an upper energy level to a lower energy level that produces the emissions requires a long time to take place. As a result, emission lines corresponding to such atomic transitions are extremely weak compared with other lines. In the laboratory, moreover, an excited atom tends to strike another particle or the walls of the gas container before it emits a photon, thereby further reducing the possibility of observation. In an H II region in interstellar space, by contrast, the atom will remain undisturbed long enough to emit the photon. Another factor favouring forbidden radiation in an H II region is the transparency of the constituent ionized gases to visible light, which permits the photons given off through the entire depth of the nebula to contribute to the emission lines. See also nebulium.

While I was away I was telling Southern Dave about one of my projects. We have a book in the archives, 100 Historic Places in New Zealand, by Gavin Mclean. I liked to look through it, and started making notes on the places in it, to see how it would fit together as a single city. Since reading China Mieville's Perdido Street Station it appealed to me to put something together if I would amuse myself by doing some creative writing. Urban fantasy would be a challenge. Other ideas have fitted in. I thought one of the character sketches I had been doing in my Scribbles file would make a good prince of the city. It would be a city in the colonies of a greater empire. The world could be adapted from our earlier Hypercronian project.
The city is built on an inlet. An old volcanic outcrop. Earlier settlers have landscaped it for terraced farming. The actual city is at the innermost end of the harbour, on one side, opposite the holiday and weekend settlements. The city is mainly administrative and industrial. The port is at the mouth of the inlet, in a bay. A railway network connects them. A lot of transport also goes across water. The train also goes inland, to farming and mining communities. The technology is late: telegraphy, combustion, and gunpowder exist, although I want to play with some fantasy elements in the city as well.
Now I've got to think what I want to write about in such a city.

The idea is to make a blog post each day for 30 days, using the prompts provided:
Day 13 : A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days.
I'm not really big on remembering bands names or such. But I have a few artists that 'got' me through a few rough days. U2 for one "I can't live with or without you." Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2U" and "Troy." These were my 'breakup' songs from my first foolish 'love' in college. What an abusive crazy relationship that was as I found myself in a place, with a person, I needed to leave, but for many reasons couldn't. Over time these songs gave me the strength to put that person firmly in my past. When I listen to these songs now, I don't think of him. Instead, I think of the strength I found within myself to move forward and shut that door firmly in place. So they're good songs, I still love them because their message is the same. I can triumph, no matter how hard it feels at the time.
Other bands that I treasure: Rush (all of it). old Genesis (when Peter Gabriel was still there), new Genesis…lots of great times with those bands that 'got' me through whatever 'it' was at the time.
What about you? Join me in the 30-Days of Truth Challenge? Answer the question in the comments…it'll be fun!

- Wedding: June 2013
Hi all:)
I kept finding myself browsing the boards while on my neverending google search for all things wedding! I figured it was finally time to sign up. I'm also totally psyched that I found a site where I can ask all the ridiculous questions I have!
I already found my dress (Mori Lee-Juliette 3116). I didn't think I'd enjoy trying on dresses because I'm a plus size briiiide. Thought I'd have issues with my body image. Turns out I absolutely loved the experience and had a wonderful time trying on gowns. I actually had a hard time picking one out but then I found the Mori Lee and died. It's perfect. I'm fairly young-24-and wanted a dress that made me feel fabulous with my curves and didn't want anything traditional. Nothing giant and poofy. No ball gowns. Anyway, I found my dress and am super psyched to wear it on my big day. I just have a few questions!
-I have a bit of a tummy and I'm not entirely sure I'm going to be able to get rid of it by excercising beforehand. Would wearing a Spanx work? I'm worried it'll be too tight to wear all day!
-I told my bridal store to hold off on putting the dress into production as my wedding is still 11 months away and I'd like to see if I can lose a few pounds in the next few months. The store said the gown takes 4-5 months to make. Just to be sure, I'm going to hold off on asking them to put it into production until Oct. Have any of you done this?
-Is it weird to want to go try on your sample gown several times after you picked it out? I've gone a few times and tried it on again. (Super fun)

How did you first hear about Dirtybird, Good Driver, and This Aint Bristol? Which label did you ship music to first?
All of them a thousand occasions! Took me 2 years to get signed to those as I used to be crafting my commerce and attempting to be distinctive however slot in sonically. I first heard about them by means of the content material they put out through the years.
Do you wish to collab with others? In that case, Who's your favourite particular person to work with?
Working alone has its plus factors as I can spend hours mangling a sound and nobody will get bored…okay I do however it's additionally nice to work with individuals. To be sincere I've not finished many collabs however the ones I've have been enjoyable and productive in any other case I wouldn't do them. Marc Spence, Powerful Love, Bang Tidy, Trutopia are simply among the guys who crashed on my flooring and we made strong jams!
Which producer do you wish to collab with sooner or later?
Steve Darko is subsequent on my checklist, a brilliant good man and that i like his beard.
What's distinctive about GAWP's manufacturing?
I attempt to be completely different, which is tough…as you could be too completely different, however my attribute type is try to create one thing that's laborious to know how I've finished it however hold it dance flooring pleasant.
Do you have got every other aliases you're employed below?

What do you miss most about Leeds? How is the scene on the market within the UK?
The Seaside, its clear blue waters and gentle sands, the scene in Leeds is wonderful…very UK Tech and Techno but additionally the bits in between!
Do you have got every other particular skills apart from producing music?
Did 6 years of hairdressing as Music wasn't an possibility at my secondary college so I had to join one thing.
Any recommendation for up and coming producers?
My recommendation can be…
Collab with individuals in your space as you'll assist one another develop and be taught collectively.
Be affected person, as I stated it took me 2 years to get signed to my favorite labels, each observe I despatched I didn't hear again so I almost give up…however it's simpler to surrender proper?!
Create nice music that you just're pleased with and when individuals really feel the identical they are going to share your ardour and you'll develop as an artist.
This one applies to me perhaps not everybody however I don't watch numerous TV, I really feel this has been one in every of my keys to success. I watch tutorials and continue to learn or refreshing my expertise and tech. (Porn is okay, it's not too lengthy)
Lastly, Spend money on an excellent set of screens, mac, soundcard and any midi keyboard, Additionally spend the cash on treating your studio fairly than making it look good, or alternatively get a Subpac (examine these out) and a few semi-decent headphones.

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the email account icons? Maybe homebrew or a hack?
I have multiple gmail accounts and I'd love if the notifications had a visual way to figure which account an email came in through. Thanks!
I'm sure there a way. Not aware of any current patches that do this though...
the only way is to go into the email directory and uploading the different icons.
No patch will do this, like garrett said.

GDC: Wednesday
Filed under 3D, Programming, Video Games
Optimizing DirectX Rendering on Multi-Core Hardware
I didn't get much out of this that I hadn't already heard before.
They presented some profiling for some games that showed 50% of CPU time was spent on graphics related tasks.
They gave a list of tools that are helpful for profiling:
- Intel's VTune Performance Analyzer
- Intel's Thread Profiler
- Microsoft's PIX for Windows
- AMD's CodeAnalyst
Some of the talk was about the benefit of multiple cores verses the overhead required to synchronize multiple cores.
Sandbox2 editor for CryENGINE by Crytek
- Best/slickest game editor I've ever seen
- An editor built on top of the game engine
- Everything is WYSIWYG
- Artists can get great results very quickly
- Realtime Shadows
- Realtime Ambient Occlusion
Check out these demo videos of Sandbox2 in action...
Intel VTune
- Only works on Intel processors (surprise!)
- Allows C# code to run on Linux, Mac
- Have a validator that examines C# code for compatibility with Mono called MoMA
- Mono supports most of .NET framework 2.0
IGF Pavilion
There were some "indy" games that caught my eye...
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
Pleo is a dinosaur-robot made by UGOBE. What are they doing at GDC? They wanted people to know that Pleo is a "platform"...you can program new behaviors and applications for Pleo (via an SD card) and they are reaching out for people to add to its abilities. Check it out in action here:
Technical Issues in Tools Development (Day 1)
This was my favorite talk of the day.
It was a round table hosted by John Walker from High Voltage Software. John was the moderator. He started by asking for a few topics people would like to cover. Then he would ask some questions concerning a topic and let people in the room answer. Some people used this as an opportunity to say, "Has anybody in the room tried to do X? How did it work for you?" It was very informative.
There is another one Thursday and Friday, so I may go to those as well since the conversation will be different because different people will be there.
Some of the things I picked up...
- An artist complained about data-driven tools being great for programmers, but terrible for artists. He wanted more custom GUI work.
- Someone mentioned using XGE (Xoreax Grid Engine) to speed up their tools.
- We have debug and release builds of code, why not data? The debug data could contain information about where the data came from so that a crash because of bad data could be quickly resolved.
- Artists and Programmers need better communications
- For artists, programmers should do video captures with audio explaining how to use a tool
- For programmers, artists should do video captures with audio showing how they *actually* use a tool
- Artists were pleading for tools to use standard formats as much as possible, it makes their lives much easier
- A company should standardize on a set of icons so their tools look and feel the same
- When planning the UI, consider what the artist already knows and is familiar with. Maya? Max?
- Involve Artists in UI design
- A new, untested concept: decoupling the UI from the code, like the WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) model in Vista. This lets an artist build the UI independently of the code behind it. No one had done it yet, but there was much interest.
Stupid Spherical Harmonics Tricks
What I learned here...was that I need to learn a lot more about spherical harmonics (SH).
The DXSDK has several samples involving SH.
The presenter has a couple of papers on the subject (here and here).
Creating Havok with Destruction
Havok announced a new product, Havok Destruction.

Coexistence - Flow review
|Release date:
01. Carrion Comfort
02. Web of Oppression
03. Twisted Soul
04. Flow
05. A Rose to Wither
06. Lord of War
07. Unspoken
08. Seize the Day
09. Layarteb
10. Akira
Rating in words: mildly enjoyable.
Let's do some debuts again! Unlike that Royal Hunt album I reviewed a couple of days ago, Flow is truly progressive power metal, and what a nice blend it is - the progressive aspect does not prevail until the album's end, which enables the people who don't usually listen to prog to enjoy it, but the influence and atmosphere is definitely there.
Coexistence is an internet collaboration between the singer Carl Lindquist and the guitarist and bassist Grégory Giraudo, and their debut album is released independently. The sound isn't what you'd expect from a self-produced album, quite the contrary - sure, it's not as squeaky clean as it could be, but it's far from muffled, a very old-school progressive metal atmosphere is emphasized and the programmed drums don't sound annoying at all. Kudos for the person responsible.
However, this release does have a number of flaws. Carl Lindquist is a man of a very strong, distinct voice, obviously influenced in the singing by the likes of Dio and Russell Allen. However, my first impression of the vocal melodies was that most of them don't lead you further into the song nor offer a lot of hooks, but simply serve the purpose of being in slight dissonance with the guitar sound, which is quite "fashionable" in (power) progressive metal but I personally don't see a point in it. By the third listen, I've gotten accustomed to it and I started to enjoy the vocals very much, but my first impression didn't entirely fade. Also, Grégory Giraudo's solos are very tasteful and quite enjoyable, but most of the riffs offered are of transitional or supportive character - maybe I'm just spoiled by last year's awesome prog albums but no riffs here managed to grab my attention.
Until the last track, that is, when the Fairy Godmother to Coexistence's Cinderella came up with a stunning dress to enhance her beauty. "Akira" is a 24-minute-long epic, and while I had my doubts about it (after all, even the masters of epics don't always get it right with songs longer than 20 minutes), it turned to be the most enjoyable track on the album. The buildup, riffs, transitions, vocal melodies and solos - every element complemented the other and I really enjoyed the track. However, I would have stopped it around the 15-minute-mark, as the part behind it is a bit redundant.
If you haven't had enough of melodic or traditional metal last year, search for this for a quick fix till you find something more appropriate to quench your thirst.

We're all going to
April 27, 2011
Edition 47, Issue 14
Students gather to counter a planned protest by Westboro Baptist Church at fallen soldier's memorial service on campus Jesse Call Managing editor More than 100 students gathered outside the Bank of Kentucky Center April 22 to support the memorial service of a fallen soldier. The rally was to counter a planned disruption by a church that is nationally known for protesting military funerals to share its religious message that "God hates America." Westboro Baptist Church issued a press release April 19 announcing its plan to preach "in a respectful, lawful proximity to the memorial of Pvt. Brandon T. Pickering" on the campus of Northern Kentucky University. Students discovered news of this event the night before the event was scheduled and two campus organizations quickly developed a response. NKY Equality Now and Common Ground, two student organizations designed to support LGBTQ rights, spread the word about the event on social media sites. The next morning students met together to honor the fallen soldier and counter any disruption. "We're going to make a box around them," event facilitator Mikey Adkins told student gatherers. The facilitators said they planned to preserve the dignity of the memorial service. "It's not just because [some] soldiers are gay," said Becca Moore, a student who attended the event. "Its because they think its wrong for the military to protect the homosexual-loving community. That's the community I live in, and I support the military." The group of students that gathered included an NKU religious studies class, with the professor continuing class discussion until the event was underway. After students assembled and stood in solidarity
outside the event, it became clear to event facilitators that the Westboro protesters were not going to arrive. They then learned that Westboro had also reserved a spot near the cemetery in Alexandria where Pickering was to be buried. Adkins announced to the crowd that they were moving the rally to Alexandria. Students carpooled and rushed down to the area reserved for the Westboro protesters along U.S. 27. Students lined the road holding signs reading things like, "Support our troops," and single words such as "love," "loyalty" and "equality." After students were in place, an Alexandria Police unit pulled up to the students and advised them to spread to both sides of the road in order to take up any space that the Westboro protesters might try to use. The students followed that advice. "You, sir, are a true American," one student told the officer. Later on, students saw the funeral procession approaching. Students lined the road with their signs and flags and stood in silence as the procession passed by. "Did you feel the power of that moment?" Adkins asked rally participants, adding that he thought the faces of the family members indicated they appreciated the support. Adkins then led the group in reciting the pledge of allegiance to the flag. The Westboro protesters never arrived. Dustin Robinson, one of the event's facilitators, said that the purpose of the event was to offer the family encouragement to counter what they felt would be troubling messages from the protesters. "We wanted to show the friends and family. We didn't want them to have to go through that without having some encouragement as well," Robinson
said. While Robinson made clear the event was designed not as a protest, but as a chance to honor an American hero, he acknowledged that students would not have gathered to show support at the memorial service if it had not been for the threat of Westboro picketing. "I think that Westboro -- the potential for them to be there served as a catalyst for so many students to get involved," Robinson said. "[Otherwise,] I think students would have just allowed the family to have the day." A media request sent to Westboro Baptist Church was kicked back by its server and its media representative was unreachable by phone. However, a media release explained why they had targeted the funeral. "Military funerals have become pagan orgies of idolatrous blasphemy, where they pray to the dunghill gods of Sodom & plays taps to a fallen fool," the church wrote in its press release. The group seemed to anticipate that the community and students might respond. "Pvt. Pickering gave his life for the constitutional right of WBC to warn America. To deny us our First Amendment rights is to declare to the world that Pvt. Pickering died in vain, and that America is a nation of sodomite hypocrites," the church also wrote. The release ended with the phrase "Thank God for IEDs." An IED is an improvised explosive device, a common weapon used by militants to attack U.S. soldiers. Pickering died in Germany after being injured in battle in Afghanistan. The Northerner's Cassie Stone contributed to this report.
"It's not just because [some] soldiers are gay," said Becca Moore. "Its because they think its wrong for the military to protect the homosexual-loving community."
Photos by Cassie Stone More than 100 NKU students gathered at the Bank of Kentucky Center April 22 to show support for gays in the military and for Pvt. Brandon T. Pickering's family. Westboro Baptist Church never arrived, but most of the students relocated to the intersection of U.S. 27 and W. Main Street in Alexandria to show support when the funeral procession made its way to Alexandria Cemetery.

- One touch dekes, EA is once again updating the dekes, this time with the press of a button and a flick of the left stick, your player will be able to deke.
- EA has kept in the True Performance skating engine, they've worked hard to improve it and provide even more realism.
- Live the Life, which will be the new incarnation of Be a Pro Mode, letting you live the life of an NHLer.

I'm sure a lot of fans are curious about the new Live the Life mode, it sounds interesting, but without more information its hard to get excited.
It is currently planned for the Xbox 360 and PS3, no word on any other console, but I'd expect it to released on the new consoles if EA has enough time to bring the game over.

Brandi Carlile: Singing from the Gut
She decided that for our audience that she would just take requests the whole night instead of playing a well thought out set list. It was so fun! After her first couple songs she started calling on people and one of the first requests was her cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". She joked and said, "You are going straight to that one, huh!? Just taking the plunge!" She explained that she is used to singing it towards the end of her set so it should be refreshing to sing it without her voice being so thrashed from screaming for two hours. I have heard many variations of this song, and hers was definitely in my top three of covers. So beautiful. I pretty much cried through the whole thing.
And speaking of her "screaming" for two hours, I did not find that to literally be the case. There are artists who have a raspy tone and that is their voice like Tina Turner or Janis Joplin. With Brandi, she can turn on that rasp when the song needs that color and turn it right off. I was impressed with her vocal versatility and her ability to continue to sing so lovely after using that raspy, belt quality.
Her band that night was just her partners in crime, Tim and Phil Hanseroth, twin brothers who play guitar and bass respectively, and who write songs along with Brandi for each of her albums. Their back up vocals are spot on. And on cello was Josh Neumann who also played the piano at times. Brandi would sometimes just stand and sing at the mic or sit and play the piano while singing. But, my favorite was when she was wailing on the acoustic guitar. If you think "wailing" sounds like a weird verb to go with "acoustic" guitar you have obviously not seen Brandi play. Yeah, she rocks it out!
As you can tell, I really don't have much criticism to give. Her music resonated with me and I was inspired. With my recital coming up, I was excited to get home and dig deeper into my set list. To give each song the connection and interpretation it deserves. At least for my capabilities right now. I want to move people when I perform like she moved me. I want to sing from the gut and not just be a pretty voice, but an artist. Hopefully I am on the road to being the artist I always imagined I could be.

text: Right now I would love to light candles and incense, then prepare a hot bath for me and a certain special someone. We'd turn our cell phones off and put the laptop on the counter so we can watch a movie in the tub. I'd admire the way shadows play off his tanned, tattooed skin in candlelight. I would sit between his legs and he would rub my back, gently wash my hair and kiss the hummingbird on my shoulder. I'd melt into him and sigh with complete content, my hands underwater and resting on his legs. We'd smoke a fat blunt or take bong rips in the tub and ash in the abalone shell that my best friend gave to me a few years ago. I'd ask him again if he thinks our souls have met before. He would say 'yes, of course.'

text: COTANCE and industriAll launch workplace safety survey for tanners European Union leather industry body COTANCE and trade union organisation industriAll have launched a survey on workplace safety in tanneries in Europe. These two organisations, which refer to themselves as the leather sector's "social partners" in the European Union, have asked the University of Northampton to run the exercise. At the time of the launch, COTANCE described the survey, which is available in English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Romanian, as "short and precise" and asked stakeholders across the leather industry in Europe to complete it before the end of December. The organisation explained that the information the survey yields will contribute to an update of an existing set of risk assessment tools, which it and industriAll first made available to tanners in 2011. COTANCE said the tools, which are available online at this link, are of particular help to small and medium-sized tanneries as a guide to health and safety issues. It will give them what COTANCE called "valuable information and suggestions to perform risk assessments and produce reports in order to minimise and eliminate health and safety risks"; examples of good practice will also be part of the package. "The leather sector's social partners in the European Union have been active in promoting workplace safety since the turn of the millennium," COTANCE said, "and our efforts are being rewarded with very low incident rates. However, dramatic internet images from tanneries outside the EU continue to affect negatively the reputation of the tanning industry."

Cottage+Seattle+Yum+ "Nothing compares to gathering around the kitchen table with my family and friends over dinner." = Cottage Grove House.
I enjoy the About sections of so many of these wonderful blogs because I for one live vicariously (cook vicariously?) through each of them. It takes time to gather and cook natural ingredients and because I open far more cans than need be, I like the idea that someone is trying not to.
On Cottage Grove House's About section: "Almost everything I cook is simple, not fancy. My common practice is to use ingredients in their simplest, natural state. I try not to open cans, completely avoid preservatives and always choose humanely raised meat, poultry and sustainable fish."
I have followed this blog for only a bit, but find it delightful. Family, friends and fresh ingredients can't be a bad combination. The first recipe I found was the mac and cheese http://cottagegrovehouse.com/2014/04/21/mac-and-cheese/, but with more exploration, I found myself traveling through all the recipes.
The most recent is "birdie in the basket," and I'm sure people have made these and the mac and cheese, but as always, I enjoy the narrative that can bring you in or make you click down as fast as possible for the recipe (which I do a lot). I like the journey Cottage Grove House takes you on. It is laid back: "Every evening we gather around our table to sit down, share a meal together and nourish ourselves. This tradition has become such a valued part of our lives. The conversation flows naturally and we are able to slow down and breathe. And gathering around the table on the weekends for breakfast, unhurried and fresh, is a different sort of gathering altogether. A perfect start to a day of chores, leisure and a nice bike ride." And now the recipe with the list of ingredients and the process –which is credited to Better Homes and Garden. This site owns that recipes are adapted or come from other places. The photos are lovely and don't take up a whole page so the text and photos are balanced.
Home/Kitchen is where all the new feeds go and Recipes gives you the opportunity to browse: Starters, Main Dishes, Soup, Pasta, Salads, Side Dishes, Breakfast, and Desserts. I was also drawn to the Honey Cake recipe and even though it has lemon, it sounds like a slice of spring. Of course, they have fresh rosemary to garnish the cake with, I don't unless I buy it, BUT I shall not be deterred. http://cottagegrovehouse.com/2014/03/21/honey-cake-with-butter-lemon-frosting/
I invite you to Cottage Grove House. I think you will enjoy your visit.

Chabad's Beis Rivkah teacher's strike has expanded from 1st-3rd grades to also include 4th-7th grades. The school administration and board (board of what – not specified) accuse each other of causing their failure to pay teachers. This latest round of bickering has resulted in a near standstill in the pursuit of a resolution. While the administration and 'board' accomplish nothing, teachers in grades 1st-3rd have walked off the job with 10 back-payments going back into 2016 owed to them. They have been on strike since late March. Demands by the teachers to be paid by the end of the Pesach (Passover) holiday were not met. Earlier this week the strike expanded to 4th-7th grade teachers, indicating the school has a greater debt, affecting more teachers than previously reported.
This has left many young children out of a controlled school environment, and has required some dedicated teachers to teach in their private homes. In an April 19, 2017 story on the continuing teacher's strike, crownheights.info shows the hardships students are enduring while the school fails to provide teachers their ten back payrolls. These students pictured below involuntarily traded their secure schoolroom desks and chairs for a publicly accessible street-side lawn.
In a series of articles, they offer publicly issued emails from the teachers and responses from the board. I will document the releases chronologically in an upcoming post. However, those exchanges really offer no answers to how it is that Chabad's Bais Rivkah yeshiva has failed its students so miserably.
Many in and near the Chabad Crown Heights community are asking where the money designated for teachers has gone? Also, with all of the wealthy Chabad families, worldwide, why is nobody stepping up to pay these teachers and get the kids safely back into school? The author(s) at FrumFraud pose that question in a very direct, name-laden inquiry:
FF there are so many questions about what is going on there. In Crown heights there are at least 50 people worth ten million or more
where are the malamuds drizins kotlarsky krinsky plotkin chein gutnick junik jacobson and others to deal with this crisis?????
Comments under the latest crownheights.info story on the strike express a growing distrust of those running the school. Some frustrated community members wrote:
1. crazy wrote:
how can people trust this so called board that they will do this correctly. when they have so brazenly broke into r' minkowitz's office.
crazy add masei!!!
2. Information at last wrote:
1) who voted in this bogus board and what legal power did they have to do so?
2) our power was questioned so we chose to withold checks from teachers and put thousands of kids and parents in an unfathomable situation
This board, and the sole person they represent are reprehensible.
28. Scared parent wrote:
We need to call the source of the problem!!!
R. Shemtov where are you, why are you hiding.
You should be ashamed of yourself
This is what you do
We don't trust you, and we don't trust the board that YOU CHOSE!
Other comments make allegations that imply a higher degree of mishandling of funds:
3. In short wrote:
In short they thought they were a bored and still didn't pay the teachers not just that they took interest
So they are making money very nice
6.Don't hide the lies! wrote:
So now can you please explain to is parents how you had the chutzpah to take interest on then loans…
This is not a business that you think your putting yourselves into, this is our community school.

Well... well... well.... look who it is... ME! I know I have been MIA for a while. I wish I could say I was off in the rain forest saving trees, or in Europe visiting Paris, saving baby elephants in Africa, or off in new york. Sigh... I was doing none of those things, not even close. Lets see the last month and a half I had a craptastic (yes, craptastic it's a blend so crappy its unbelievably fantastic... don't judge me...lol) 26th Birthday, Bella has been sick off and on, more on then off :(, I went to my first parent teacher conference and cried (more on that in a bit), went trick or treating with the cutest bumble bee and butterfly I've ever seen, went to school for floral design, started working part time,planning my amazing girls birthday that are a whole 5 and 7 months away, being a mom the most gorgeous 2 girls i know and dealing with some hard stuff in my personal life.
On my craptastic Birthday, Grady and I went out to dinner and I bit into my burger to crunch down on a piece of metal and I cracked my tooth. Needless to stay my tooth has been killing me and I won't be eating burgers any time soon. Grady did manage to turn things around with my birthday gift. He got me Versace Bright Crystal perfume and a versace makeup bag.
Bella has been fighting yet another viral infection and double ear infections. I am still torn over the tube issue, she got the tubes put in back in march and has been fighting ear infections since. The last two weeks have been unbearable she wakes up every hour to two hours in pain screaming, the doctors are no help at this point, even the ENT (ear, nose and throat dr) has been little help. I need sleep, Bella needs sleep and out of pain. I am hoping this new dr. I found will have answers that we need!
I had my 1st parent/teacher conference for Roxy. I am so proud of my 1st grader! After the conference I had to run to the bathroom I started crying. I couldn't believe that my little 6 lb 3 oz baby who came into this world was in 1st grade and growing up! I am so proud to be able to say she's my daughter!
Bella was a bumble bee and Roxy was a Butterfly and they were both gorgeous! Bella found a new love... lollipops! Roxy was more then pleased with her loot! Can't wait til next year!
I settled on the themes for Bella and Roxy's birthdays. People think I am nuts that I plan so early but, I must say planning early has saved me many headaches and has helped me find some amazing deals! Bella's 2nd Birthday Party is going to be Candy land theme I walked into target and was in heaven I found amazing deals for candy themed decor in the Christmas section and there in the perfect colors pink, green, aqua and purple! Found candy land board games for a dollar at toys r us for goodie bag favors!! Roxy is having a movie star themed birthday and I found popcorn buckets in the dollar section at target and movie star sunglasses for a dollar too. I love targets dollar section I think i spend more money there sometimes then I do in the actual store lol!

Do unto Others
Here is a lesson I recently re-learned:
I've undergone many situations where I had a strong sense of entitlement only to victimize myself when things didn't follow through. It took me a decent amount of time to understand they won't change under my command, and from the looks of it they won't at all ...and that's OK, or it will have to be. My situation stayed as it was, it was me who had to alter perspectives in order to be at peace. I blame it on the golden rule: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." No one ever bothered to explain to me that reciprocation wasn't this quote's forte, more so than self-reflection.
Does this make sense so far? You see, I have always translated it as, "expect others to treat you how you treat them," therefore they must be revered. False. There is no 'others' and never should have been, there is only YOU. Everyone is looking out for themselves so the earlier you realize that the less heartbreaks you'll encounter.
Finding your peace and your truth will eliminate expectations and entitlements, no matter how others treat us. That is where we all need to end up. Focus on your actions towards others and understand what you give off and why. What you do to others is a reflection of you and what's going on within. Until you learn self-control and find your peace, the human response is to exude the emotions received without, whether it's kindness or hostility. With that being said, practice your peace or beware of your people.
