The strong yen in Japan is causing Toyota Motor Corp. to consider moving some production to North America from Japan, said Jim Lentz, sales chief executive of Toyota Motor Corp's U.S. unit.
Lentz said a likely candidate would be shifting production of the Lexus ES sedan to the United States, but he said the high cost of moving output would mean that Toyota would have to monitor the market and the yen's strength before making a decision. No decision is at hand, he said.

Total $0.00
Holiday Inn in Hazlet, New Jersey to Pay $75,000 to Settle Superstorm Sandy Price-Gouging Charges
David P. Willis | Asbury Park Press, N.J. | October 31, 2013 1:00am
Oct. 31--Holiday Inn in Hazlet will pay $75,000 to settle charges that it price-gouged customers before and after superstorm Sandy swirled toward New Jersey.
The state Attorney General and Division of Consumer Affairs announced on Wednesday a settlement with Riya Hazlet Hotel, the owner of the Holiday Inn on Route 35 in Hazlet. The hotel will pay $75,000, including $2,951.91 in consumer restitution, officials said.
The remainder encompasses $52,121.72 in civil penalties and $19,926.36 in attorneys' fees and investigative costs.
It is part of a settlement in which nine hotels and gas stations agreed to pay a total of more than $430,000 in civil penalties, consumer restitution and reimbursement of attorneys' and investigative costs to settle lawsuits filed by the state. They made no admission of wrongdoing.
The state alleged that they raised their prices more than 10 percent during the state of emergency announced because of Sandy, a violation of state law.
For example, in court papers, the state said Holiday Inn in Hazlet hiked the rate of one room on Oct. 27, the first day of the state of emergency and several days before Sandy hit, to $229.95 per night, a 70.4 percent increase.
"We expect all of our state's businesses to comply with our price-gouging law during future states of emergency and our investigators stand ready to ensure they do so," said Eric T. Kanefsky, consumer affairs director.

Date: 6/7/2016
Last month's referendum result has raised queries over the future of procurement legislation, which is derived from a suite of European Union directives adopted in 2014.
Mike Kiely, Chair of the Planning Officers Society's Board of Trustees, suggested to a Planning magazine reporter that the only way the rules may be changed is by no longer requiring firms to tender across the whole EU for projects.
"But you would still have a similar process in place in the UK," he said. "The government is not going to want public money spent in anything other than an open and transparent manner."

The vision of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission (GCFC) is to achieve increased economic development in Northeast Ohio by using the artistic and culturally enriching activities of film and other media production to strengthen the workforce, support the media production industry and attract media production to the region.
GCFC's mission is to promote increased media production in Northeast Ohio using effective strategies for attraction and workforce development including building an artistic infrastructure through film.
Workforce Development
Programs are designed to provide local talent with the education and tools needed to succeed in the industry. These programs are created in consultation with leading industry experts and in partnership with local high schools, colleges and universities to yield relevant, employer-driven curriculum, training, and networking opportunities for the local media community. Programs include industry trainings and seminars, regular networking events and access to industry-standard materials. These programs encompass the creative, business, as well as crew aspects of production to continue to build a comprehensive workforce.
Business Attraction
GCFC aggressively pursues media productions and businesses that can positively impact the local economy. The organization serves as a convenient, all-encompassing resource for local, national and international producers and filmmakers to ensure great filming experiences while providing "concierge services" to all productions in town.
After successfully lobbying the State of Ohio to pass a competitive film tax incentive in 2009, GCFC continues to advocate for optimal public policy and promote local production activity.
Commitment to Supplier Diversity
GCFC is firmly committed to supporting minority; women, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) and local business enterprises. As a small organization with a limited budget, GCFC places emphasis on contracting with firms that share the same commitment and provide the best quality, value-added products and services at the most competitive cost.
By supporting area minority- and female-owned contractors, GCFC leverages a diverse supply chain that, in turn, has added needed jobs to the northeast Ohio region. Additionally, GCFC is committed to increasing the number of local and minority-owned vendors that are able to provide quality and price-competitive products and services to the regional media industry.
To prepare for the future, GCFC continues to invest in training a diverse workforce for tomorrow through high school, apprenticeship, and college programs with our educational partners.
The Greater Cleveland Film Commission is a member of the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI.)

I just finished reading Mark Sisson's two books, "The Primal Blueprint" and "The Primal Blueprint Cookbook." I stumbled across these at Amazon and found that my public library had just ordered them. I'll cut to the chase: I loved these books and have been inspired to make some radical lifestyle changes.
My doctor had recommended the paleo diet to me four years ago, and at first I expected the Primal Blueprint to be a simple rehash of those ideas. It's true that the Primal Blueprint closely resembles the paleo diet, but it offers more and addresses some of the problems I had with the paleo diet.
The best overview of what the Primal Blueprint is about is available in this post at Mark's website.
Mark Sisson advocates a number of things that already been kicking around in my head. Here are a few points that I had already sensed were true, and Mark hammered them home:
- if you're eating the right foods, there is no need to count calories.
- your body will tell you when to drink water, so you needn't robotically consume eight glasses a day.
- some people are adapted to digest dairy products. If you are one of these, and you have access to high-quality sources of dairy, these are good foods.
- fat is not the enemy. If you are eating whole, unprocessed food, the fat is a great benefit.
- you cannot leave your life and your health in the hands of Big Pharma and Big Agra.
- body composition is more important to your health than your weight.
I loved the information about the importance of insulin and how the Standard American Diet overburdens our insulin response. The culprits are (refined) sugar and grain, which were not foods that were ever available to people before the advent of agriculture.
Mark's program doesn't only deal with diet, but describes a whole spectrum of lifestyle choices, like making sure you get enough sleep, and getting regular exposure to the sun.
As of yesterday, I am giving up refined sugar and grain. To the extent that I can, I am also giving up factory farming, especially grain-fed, confinement meat operations. Although these are not easy rules to follow, I am confident they're in the best interest of my energy, health, vitality, and longevity.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Ford GT
From Conservapedia
The Ford GT is a supercar[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] designed and built by the Ford Motor Company. Sold during the 2005-2006 model years, it was based on the world-record setting Ford GT40 race car of the 1960s. Only 4,083 were made. The GT had a suggested retail price of around $130k, but was usually sold for a much higher price due to high demand.[8]
The GT had a mid-rear mounted 5.4 liter supercharged V8 with two banks of DOHCs. It produced 550 hp through a six-speed manual transmission, giving it 333 hp/ton. It went from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than three seconds and could finish a quarter-mile test in 11 seconds. It lapped Willow Springs in a time of 1.37.[8]

Kid Apocalypse raps about, well, Kid Apocalypse in 'Space Out'
My knowledge of nerdcore rap is incredibly limited, so I was regrettably unaware of the existence of Kid Apocalypse — the rapper, not Marvel's Evan Sabahnur, aka Genesis — until Rick Remender retweeted a link to the recent YouTube for "Space Out" by Quinn Allan. As you can see from the image above, and in the video below, Allan dons white and black makeup and a dapper suit with X medallion, and then raps about Kid Apocalypse, delivering lines like, "Forge will hook you up/his shit goes to 11."
"It started one night lying in bed," Allan explains on his Facebook page. "I got the idea to write some raps as if I was the character Genesis from the recent Uncanny X-Force and Wolverine and the X-Men comics. I showed them to my roommate who liked the idea. Then he started writing. It was contagious. He took on the persona of 'Dark Beast,' the Hank McCoy of the alternate Age of Apocalypse universe. We had more material than we knew what to do with."

Preferred Hotel Group, a premier marketing association of independent hotels, has proven that they understand that families need customized information when planning vacations. Gone are the days when stating a hotel is family-friendly and not explaining why or how is enough online.
In response to a call for more and better information, Preferred Hotel Group launched PreferredFamily.com, a dedicated site for families where they can discover Preferred Family Certified Hotels in a single, robust website full of invaluable tips and information.
Family-Friendly Luxury at Bowood Hotel in Wiltshire, England
I've been itching to get to the English countryside for months now and finally had the opportunity to do so when we had grandparents in town in September. Given the sheer number of flights going in and out of London, it's often less expensive to fly into Heathrow (or other London airports) than other European cities (this applies to flights from major North American hubs as well).
Once our tickets were purchased, the real challenge begun. The English countryside is vast and has an unbelievable array of extraordinary things to see and do.
Favorite Kid-Friendly Hotels from Family Travel Blogs Around the Web
Family travel bloggers stay at an extraordinary number of hotels with their kids. It's not unusual to stay at a few properties in a single destination for the sole purpose of comparing and contrasting experiences.
We are constantly evaluating hotels with a critical eye. In fact, I'm not sure I have the ability to relax on vacation and not observe every detail.
With this in mind, I invited leading family travel bloggers from around the web …
Oh Where, Oh Where are the Switzerland Tourist Attractions
One of the things that has been most challenging about our move to Switzerland is the lack of high quality, detailed travel and activity information in English. A very surprising discovery considering the number tourists visiting the numerous sites of interest throughout this country.
I finally got so fed up with the lack of easy-to-access, detailed content that I tried to order a few books on Amazon before our last trip to the US only to discover that the ship date for what seemed like the best books is 4-5 months out. Baffling!
Italy's Best Places for Moms (Dads and Kids too)
Susan Van Allen writes about Italian travel and interviewed me for her book, 100 Places in Italy Every Woman Should Go. I finally had time to sit down with her book on vacation this summer. Wow, what an inspirational resource for all of us who have a love affair with all that is Italian!
Susan writes about Italy's feminine spirit and describes the places and experiences that transform travelers. Her description of Italy as a place that "brings peace and comfort, a place that stirs that soul" is applicable to both sexes and all ages.
Travel the World with ProjectExplorer.org
One of the big reasons we love to travel internationally is the opportunity to experience how people around the world live differently than we do.
Many families don't have the resources to travel abroad with kids yet still want to expose kids to different people, places, and cultures in an impactful way. Textbooks are a start but multimedia is a far richer way to share information.
Announcing Best Family Travel Advice!
Have a family travel-related question? Ask an expert!
I'm thrilled to announce our participation in an exciting new project, Best Family Travel Advice. We're collaborating with the top family travel bloggers to offer families an invaluable resource. You can ask any question you want and one or more of us will answer it!
The beauty of Best Family Travel Advice is you can ask questions relevant to an upcoming trip and get a customized response.
How to Pick Your Next Family Vacation Venue
Picking the venue for a family vacation can be difficult. Although the end result is fun, weighing all the needs, wants and constraints can be tedious. Every other year we plan an extensive family vacation with my father and all of my siblings. There are 17 of us in all with 9 children, 6 parents and 2 grandparents. It can be complicated! Here's how I get started:
Trip Needs: Check-in and get and idea about what everyone needs—meaning, are you all burnt out and you just need to lie on a beach?
Family Travel Growth on the Web
Ciao Bambino is one of the old-timers in the Internet family travel world. When I started the company in 2004 as a planning service for families traveling to Italy, there were few online resources offering advice to people traveling with kids.
The family travel space has exploded over the last year alone with new websites and blogs popping up every day. We recently announced a partnership with the Nile Guide where we developed family-focused activity guides …
Introducing Shermans Travel
Ready for a refreshing travel resource? Let me introduce Shermans Travel. Not only does this publisher offer a beautiful travel magazine and informative website, but they are now featuring content around family travel.
What I appreciate about Sherman's Travel is that they realized the need for value as part of luxury travel long ago.

Twitter's monetization strategy has been a long time coming and while it's still not known exactly what Twitter has planned, an ad platform is widely expected.
It's still not known is when Twitter plans to announce its money-making plans, but we may now have an indication.
In an interview with CNBC, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said "later this month [we'll be] revealing exactly how we plan to make a sustainable source of income so we can build a business."
PaidContent notes that Stone likely means next month when Twitter has scheduled its Chirp conference. On the agenda is "monetization."
Stone doesn't give CNBC much more info, other than to say, "We're going to roll out something that we think is appropriate not just for users but also for the ecosystem." Stone says the roll-out will also "give us time to tweak the model and experiment with things."
Here's the interview:

Best Espresso Machines
Espresso Coffee Makers For Every Budget

Settled in the affluent Belltown area of Seattle, WA, this location is perfect for young, affluent professionals (much like Christian Grey from the erotic novel), and now fans are finally getting a better look at the luxurious residency. The square footage of units vary, but there are included amenities such as a private spa, a gym with yoga studio, private dining room, full catering kitchen and dining area with room for 140 people, and theater room.
As if that weren't enough, there are also stunning views of downtown Seattle, perfect for any "romantic" rendezvous.
If you're not up to speed on the book Fifty Shades of Grey, it was originally written as Twilight fan fiction by EL James, but it was later picked up by a publisher, and now Universal is in the process of making a film based on the steamy novel. It centers around mysterious millionaire Christian Grey and his submissive-domination sexual relationship with young college student Anastasia Steele, with many of their steamy scenes taking place at Escala luxury condos, where Christian calls home.
There's been lots of casting talk, and we made a list of people we think would be great for the film. Check it out below!
If you want to get a better look at the location that EL James used in her novel, click through the gallery!
Kristen Stewart even talked to Celebuzz about the steamy novel at the Snow White and the Huntsman junket. Watch below!

(Bloomberg) -- Eight former directors overseeing mutual funds for Morgan Keegan & Co. settled, without paying any penalties, U.S. regulatory claims that they allowed assets backed by subprime mortgages to be overvalued as the housing market collapsed in 2007.
The directors, who didnt admit or deny the allegations, agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any future violations of the Investment Company Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission said in an administrative order filed today.
Our settlement sends a clear warning of our commitment to enforce the duty of mutual fund directors and trustees to closely oversee the process of valuing securities held by their funds, George Canellos, co-chief of the SECs enforcement division, said in a statement.
The eight directors, who were responsible for determining fair value of fund securities that lacked readily available market quotations, delegated valuation tasks to a committee without providing meaningful guidance on how the assets should be priced, the SEC said in a December administrative order against the directors.
The directors, who were based in Alabama and Tennessee, made no meaningful effort to learn how the values were being determined and obtained almost no information explaining why particular values were assigned to portfolio securities, according to the order.
The action followed a related $200 million settlement with Morgan Keegan, a subsidiary of St. Petersburg, Florida-based Raymond James Financial Inc. in 2011 and sanctions against two employees in 2010.

While I would love to have a solar home, we aren't anywhere near that wish/dream/goal. However, we recently took a first step. Our barn is far from the electric pole. We feed the horses inside the barn, which has worked well during the summer, but with fall approaching, it is getting dark earlier. My husband bought a Westinghouse "solar powered utility light" from Sam's Club and installed it with my help - ahem - I did hold the ladder and hand him drill bits and screws and stuff, so I can say I helped, right?
The description said "ideal for remote areas where there is no electricity." Perfect for our situation. The installation was simple, and if I were of a mind to climb a ladder (which I am NOT), I probably could have figured it out myself, but dh is much better at such things than I am.
First, he drilled a hole through the metal barn wall, up high. The hole had to be large enough for the "plug" thing on the end of the wire to go through. Next, he put the light up on the wall using the included screws. Thirdly, he put up the solar panel on the outside of the barn, on the south wall, and threaded the wire through the hole, plugging it into the other wire on the light itself. Viola! Done! The cord is quite long, so we just wound it up around the light fixture.
The kit included a remote control for the light, which is very handy since we put the light up high so the horses couldn't scratch themselves on it or something. The remote has a holder so that it won't get lost, as long as we remember to always put it back in the holder. (So far, so good!)
It is really nice to have light inside the barn, and it will come in very handy this winter when the afternoons are short and evening comes early.

Today is April 30 and this blog post is an excerpt from my book, GRACERUNNER - FAITH ON THE RUN. As you read, you'll soon find out much about me that you don't know. You'll also notice that my "celebration" run this year is the 26th anniversary of the day that changed my life forever.
Read my story and you'll understand why I must continue on this path that God has laid out for me....There truly is a place called grace!
A Miracle of God's Unimaginable Grace!
"And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
On April 30, 1986, I left my office to go out for a run. The day had been shortened for me as the athletic teams at Samford University had finished practices a bit early on that day. As the Head Athletic Trainer at the university, it was extremely rare for me to get a little free time at the end of a day. So, I was excited about going out for a long run and having some time alone for reflection.
Little did I know that, on this day, my life would be changed forever. My life as I knew it would never be the same again.
I ran an unusually fast pace that day. I ran a route that was somewhat new to me. I took a wrong turn and had to make my way down to a very busy highway just about the time of rush hour. I couldn't get across the highway to run against the traffic so, I moved to a spot several yards off the shoulder of the road and ran alongside the traffic. I had a few hundred yards to run before I would reach the entrance to the Samford University campus and be able to walk back to my office for a cool down from a very good run.
Suddenly, I was involved in a serious, unimaginable accident. While running along the very busy Lakeshore Drive in Birmingham,Alabama, I was struck from behind. I was propelled forward more than 30 feet. I thought that I had been hit by a car! I was face down on the shoulder of the road and I knew that I was hurt badly. I couldn't feel my legs and I had significant pain up and down my spine. I was alert and conscious during the entire event but still had no idea what had happened. It felt as if time stood still.
Several people stopped to help. I heard sirens in the distance and a flurry of activity ensued. One of the people who stopped to render aid was a nurse. I spoke to her and told her that I was a certified athletic trainer and understood what was going on medically. Therefore, I had many questions. "Do I look broken up? Am I bleeding? What hit me?Will you take my blood pressure to make sure that I don't have any internal injuries?"
The answers were good and bad. She told me that I did not appear to be mangled and that I was not bleeding. She took my blood pressure and assured me that it was fine. Still, I couldn't feel or move my legs. I could hear the sound of sirens getting closer and closer. The nurse stayed with me until the paramedics arrived. I never saw her face. I never spoke to her again. Nearly 24 years later, I still do not know the name of this wonderful person who stopped to comfort and help me after this devastating accident.
Police arrived on the scene and I finally found out that I had been struck by something that had flown off the back of a pick-up truck. I didn't know what the object was, but I knew that it must have been something pretty significant!
As I lay face down on the ground, I overheard the policemen describing the object that had hit me in order to record it in their incident report. I heard them describe the object as a "5 feet wide by 9 feet long sheet of plywood." For some reason I thought -- "They don't make plywood in that size." So, I asked the EMT to get the policeman over to me. I asked the officer about this 5' X 9' sheet of plywood and was told that it was painted green with white stripes.
I was puzzled by this until he told me the rest of the story. Bottom line: IT WAS A PING PONG TABLE! This "table" was being hauled on the back of a pick-up while two men held it down from the cab of the truck.This very large piece of wood, that soon became a flying missile, was not tied down or restrained in any way whatsoever. I had been hit by a flying ping pong table! What are the odds of that?
God went to the extreme to get my attention during my afternoon run! He does that sometimes! Sometimes it's a soft whisper, sometimes it's a loud roar, and sometimes it's a ping pong table!
After being immobilized on a spine board by a team of very capable emergency medical personnel, I was transported to a nearby hospital where I regained feeling in my legs a couple of hours later. I was kept in that hospital for pain and injury management for 17 days. A few days after my first hospital stay, I was back in the hospital for surgery and a stay that lasted until the end of June of that year.
My sacrum had been crushed. I had lost nerves. I had significant muscle and other soft tissue damage. I had tremendous swelling and eventually turned black and blue from the top of my shoulders to the bottom of my feet. This injury would affect me for the rest of my life. I was very fortunate to be alive.
Serious rehabilitation was ahead of me. I was told that I would be lucky to walk normally again and running was most likely out of the question forever. In my wildest dreams, I could not envision running again.
If I had been struck a foot lower, my legs would have been damaged significantly. If I had been struck six inches higher, I most likely would have been a paraplegic. If I had been hit in the neck region, I would have been a quadriplegic. If I had been hit on the head, I could have been killed. God spared me for a reason. I continue to uncover His reasons more than two decades later.
Each year on the anniversary of this event, I celebrate that I'm able to walk and run. I celebrate that God used a tragic moment in my life to get my attention. I celebrate that he did a miracle in my life and now I have been blessed to be a part of the running community through a ministry such as TEAM 413 that was planned and ordained by God Himself! I praise Him that I am able to be a part of something that is so much bigger than we could ever comprehend, envision, dream, or imagine.
On the day of celebration each year that marks the anniversary of this STRANGE event and injury, I go out for a run at the time that the injury occurred, about 5:30 PM. Each year, I ask others to join me on that day either in person or wherever they are at that moment. They run with me and they pray with me. It's always a very special day to thank God for miracles of GRACE.
Each day of my life I pray that God will continue to get our attention and then use us in ways that we cannot comprehend. I also pray that He will be glorified through the ministry that we call TEAM 413. God has entrusted us with such an amazing outreach ministry. We consider this a miracle after the incomprehensible circumstances that occurred on that day in April 1986.
As we continue on our journey through life, we give thanks for God's grace… ~ And so I run ~ And so I care ~ And so I share ~ And so I praise His name for His goodness!
Under HIS Grace...

Pile driving as the term suggests is simply a matter of applying sufficient force to drive a structural component, usually made of wood, concrete or steel into the ground to a desired depth or load carrying capacity to support some type of structure. Although simple in concept, the operation can become very complex and technical when all the variables are considered such as the type and size of pile being driven, the location of the project and the material the pile is being driven into.
At FRPD we have driven virtually every type and size of pile that has been introduced into our market. Whether it's a 10 metre long timber pile or a 100 plus metre long; two metre diameter steel pipe pile, we have the trained and experienced crews and a fleet of pile driving equipment to get the job done. From simple drop hammers to more complex vibratory hammers and pneumatic, hydraulic and diesel impact hammers, we have them all in a variety of sizes, all of which can be mounted on our selection of fixed, hanging, restricted headroom or vertical travel lead systems.
As with the rest of our business, the key to our success in the pile driving field resides with our highly trained and experienced crews who are well versed in the safe and effective use of this highly technical heavy equipment. Combined, these factors allow FRPD to provide our customers and clients with practical cost effective solutions for all of their pile installation needs.

Christmas Roses in the garden.
It's been a funny old week - work has been crazy busy and home has been pretty much the same! DD and I went to see the English National Ballet 'doing' Sleeping Beauty which was fabulous. The costumes were amazing and the dancing was wonderful. DD did however offer her opinion that the Russian State Ballet (who we saw last month) had more athletic blokes. I'm assuming she meant in the height and complexity of the jumps and not in any crude sense. Myself? I was impressed with them all!!
Film has arrived for my Ilford Sporti camera. It takes 120 film - a format I am not familiar with. Loading it was pretty straightforward. The instruction book really is written step by tiny step. However, I was a little confused by the bit which says to wind on the film until No 1 appears in the window. A line appeared first, was that No 1? I carried on winding, and winding and whoa.... perhaps I'd better take a picture before I wind right to the end. I lined up a classy shot of the house and 'snap'. Now, the Ilford Sporti is my type of camera. You set the dial to sunny or cloudy and then turn the wheel for 2-4 ft, 10-25ft or 25-infinity ft... simples! I wasn't sure if I was 25ft from the house or further so I took a few steps back to be sure. I wound on a bit and took another from a slightly different angle, continuing to wind I found some little flower shapes appear in the window, they got bigger until, Lo! A No 1!! I retook the house shot and confidently carried on winding until flowers and a No 2 appeared (not that kind of No 2). Now I am safe in the knowledge of what the numbers look like I can finish the film and check if the camera is actually working ok! Pictures to follow here in due course.
I have been reading and being inspired by a number of writers at the moment who use photography to document their lives and explore what things mean to them. I am aware this sounds quite weird and airy fairy but it has struck a chord with me. The work of Susannah Conway in particular has been popping up in all sorts of strange coincidental ways. I was interested in her ideas about portraits, especially self portraits. I am generally the one behind the camera in my family and so pics of me are relatively rare. However, I do like having my photo taken but am usually disappointed with the results. They never seem to portray me how I think they should!! Now, I said this was a coincidental week, shifting through some old photographs this weekend I came across a self portrait of my Uncle. He never had a camera far from his hand and is responsible for the stacks of pictures I treasure from my childhood.
Ken's self portrait along with some shots of Bath Abbey taken by him.
This portrait struck me as just what a self portrait should be. It seems to capture him perfectly. I also found a shot he took of me which has always been a favourite - even if I do look like a moody little mare!
Anyway, I thought I'd have a crack at a self portrait, DH did look at me oddly as I stood in various bits of the garden taking snaps. 'You do realise you have the camera around the wrong way' he helpfully called! Luckily I didn't have to point out the same mistake with the chainsaw!
Best of the day - well, the shot with least chins!
So, what do people think? Self portraits - valid art form with something to say or just an excuse to appear in lots of photographs? I shall continue trying them out, who knows I might even end up with a shot I like!

Smith will hold an inaugural defence ministers' dialogue with his Chinese counterpart Liang Guanglie, where the two are expected to discuss China's concerns about U.S. marines being stationed in northern Australia.
The United States has accused "Chinese actors" of being the world's biggest perpetrators of economic espionage and U.S. security experts warn of a rising number of Internet-based attacks originating from China on U.S. corporate and government computers. China rejects the charges.
Australia defence chief 'avoids cyber spies' in China
It was reported that Mr Smith's computer and that of other Australian officials was hacked in March. The attacks were alleged to have originated from China, but China has dismissed the allegations.
Officials downplayed the latest developments, with Mr Smith telling reporters in Beijing that such measures "should not come as a surprise".

For good or bad: The U.S. military buildup in Asia
Proclaiming its fate to be strongly tied to Asia, the United States unveiled on Saturday detailed plans to build and strengthen its military presence in the region. Time will tell whether the growing U.S. presence becomes a positive force for the peace, development and prosperity of Asia, or simply heightens the tensions in a region already convoluted by an arms race.
Asia is increasingly caught in the paradox of prosperity: as countries become more prosperous, they spend proportionally more of their new wealth on defence. They go on massive shopping sprees not only because they can afford to but mostly because they want to protect their economic interests to ensure sustainable growth and development.
Budgetary constraints dictated that U.S. President Barack Obama draw down on the U.S.' military operations and presence in the Middle East and Europe but not in Asia, where China's military is increasingly challenging U.S. power and influence, though not necessarily yet its dominance.

For years, everyone has warned that counterfeit microchips made in China and installed on American military hardware could contain viruses or secret backdoors granting the Chinese military cyber access to U.S. weapons systems. These warnings/predictions recently expanded beyond counterfeit parts, now we're worried that any Chinese-made components could be infected. The problem was that until this week, these warnings were educated guesses and theories. Well, a scientist at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom claims to have developed a software program proving that China — and anyone else — can, and is, installing cyber backdoors on some of the world's most secure, "military grade" microchips.

text: SUMMARY Netwar is the lower-intensity, societal-level counterpart to our earlier, mostly military concept of cyberwar. Netwar has a dual nature, like the two-faced Roman god Janus, in that it is composed of conflicts waged, on the one hand, by terrorists, criminals, and ethnonationalist extremists; and by civil-society activists on the other. What distinguishes netwar as a form of conflict is the networked organizational structure of its practitioners—with many groups actually being leaderless—and the suppleness in their ability to come together quickly in swarming attacks. The concepts of cyberwar and netwar encompass a new spectrum of conflict that is emerging in the wake of the information revolution. This volume studies major instances of netwar that have occurred over the past several years and finds, among other things, that netwar works very well. Whether the protagonists are civil-society activists or "uncivil-society" criminals and terrorists, their netwars have generally been successful. In part, the success of netwar may be explained by its very novelty—much as earlier periods of innovation in military affairs have seen new practices triumphant until an appropriate response is discovered. But there is more at work here: The network form of organization has reenlivened old forms of licit and illicit activity, posing serious challenges to those—mainly the militaries, constabularies, and governing officials of nation states—whose duty is to cope with the threats this new generation of largely nonstate actors poses. Strategists and policymakers in Washington and elsewhere have already begun to discern the dark side of the netwar phenomenon, es- ix x Networks and Netwars: The Future of Terror, Crime, and Militancy pecially as manifested in terrorist and criminal organizations. This growing awareness is quite evident in recent official studies of this burgeoning problem: Patterns of Global Terrorism: 1999 (State Department, 2000), International Crime Threat Assessment (Interagency Working Group, 2000), and Global Trends 2015 (National Intelligence Council, 2000). But strategists and policymakers still have much work to do to harness the brighter, civil-society-building potential of networked nonstate actors. Thus, a fundamental challenge in the coming decade will be to focus on the opportunities that may arise from closer cooperation with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and other nonstate actors. For the U.S. Department of Defense, a range of possibilities opens up, from encouraging the early involvement of appropriate NGO networks in helping to detect and head off a looming crisis, to working closely with them in the aftermath of conflicts to improve the effectiveness of U.S. forces still deployed, to reduce the residual hazards they face, and to strengthen the often fragile peace. In short, American policymakers and strategists must continue to keep an eye on the perils posed by criminal and terrorist networks. But they must enlarge their vision and their practices to encompass the tremendous opportunities likely to attend the rise of a network-based realm devoted to the protection of human rights, the spread of democratic values, and the formation of deep coalitions between states and civil-society NGOs. Netwar, the emergent mode of conflict of choice for networked nonstate actors, has two faces—and both matter very much. In this volume, we and our colleagues examine various types of netwar, from the most violent to the most socially activist. In so doing, we find that, despite the variety, all networks that have been built for waging netwar may be analyzed in terms of a common analytic framework. There are five levels of theory and practice that matter: the technological, social, narrative, organizational, and doctrinal levels. A netwar actor must get all five right to be fully effective. While a network's level of technological sophistication does make a difference—and people do tend to think that netwar depends heavily on technology—the other levels have just as much, if not more, of an effect on the potential power of a given group. One key level is the social basis for cooperation among network members. When social ties Summary xi are strong, building mutual trust and identity, a network's effectiveness is greatly enhanced. This can be seen most clearly in ethnically based terror, crime, and insurgent groups in which clan ties bind together even the loosest, most dispersed organization. Among civil-society netwarriors, the narrative level of analysis may matter most. Sharing and projecting a common story about their involvement in an activist network enliven and empower these groups, and attract their audiences. The narrative level is also important to practitioners of the dark side of netwar, but it may be more necessary for civil-society networks to emphasize this level and get it right because they are less likely to be held together by the kinds of ethnic or clan ties so common among crime and terror networks. In trying to confront or cope with a networked adversary, it is important to assess the opponent's strengths and weaknesses at the technological, social, and narrative levels. Yet, the defining level of a netwar actor is its organizational design. Analysts must realize that the structures of networks may feature much variety—from simple chain or line networks, to less simple hub or star designs, to complex all-channel designs, any and all of which may be blended into sprawling multihub and spider's-web networks. To cope with a network, analysts must first learn what kind of network it is and then draw on the best methods for analysis. In the past, intelligence assessments of adversaries have tended to focus on their hierarchical leadership structures. This is insufficient for analyzing netwar actors—which, like some of today's terrorist networks, may well consist of various small, dispersed groups that are linked in odd ways and do not have a clear leadership structure. Another important level of analysis is to parse just what sort of doctrine the netwar actor is employing. Most networks—of both the civil and uncivil variety—will have a great capacity for swarming. This does not mean that all will swarm all the time, or even that all will swarm well. Moreover, few netwar actors have an explicit doctrine for swarming. But most are moving in that direction. Swarming is the key doctrinal approach for which to prepare. The most potent netwarriors will not only be highly networked and have a capacity to swarm, they will also be held together by strong so- xii Networks and Netwars: The Future of Terror, Crime, and Militancy cial ties, have secure communications technologies, and project a common "story" about why they are together and what they need to do. These will be the most serious adversaries. But even those networks that are weak on some levels (e.g., technological) may pose stiff challenges to their nation-state adversaries. With this in mind, it is necessary to go beyond just diagnosing the nature of the networked nonstate opponent in a given conflict. It will become crucial for governments and their military and law enforcement establishments to begin networking themselves. Perhaps this will become the greatest challenge posed by the rise of netwar.

What backup method would you recommend in my scenario?
Hello everyone,
As you can see, I am new to the forum, and am learning tons of information everytime I visit. My computer runs beautifully with excellent security, no errors, etc. HOWEVER, I have never done a system backup or image before... and it's worrying me, considering that most members on the forum do it religiously. I have turned off system protection on my Windows 7 machine and instead use ERUNT. I would like to backup my pictures from my computer to somewhere safe. The only problem I have is that I don't have an external HDD and I have 40 GB of pictures. As of right now, I am doing old school style of copying my pictures onto many DVD's, which is a pain in the rear. Any sugggestions of what programs to use, what to do, etc.? Also, I want to do a backup/image for safety as well, from malware or anything else. Thank you so much!

Divide your backup needs into 2 categories: Windows and personal data.
Do the former with imaging if you do it at all. Most people don't. The downside of not imaging is you have to reinstall Windows and your applications if your hard drive dies or if your system is so hosed that you have no other choice. The primary choices on this forum are Windows 7 built in imaging, Acronis, and Macrium Reflect. Some people make images daily. Others make them weekly or every month or two. I'd advise you to avoid "incremental images".
Don't bet any of your limbs that your image strategy will work when you need it.
Do the latter with a file by file method--not imaging. Imaging is a complexity and I can't think of a good reason to insert a fallible complexity between me and my data backups. There are many good apps for this--free and otherwise. The better ones can be automated to run with the click of a button. You can include or exclude certain directories, certain file types, etc.
You've pretty much got to buy another drive--either internal or external.
A hard-core strategy would involve imaging by more than a single application and would probably include keeping at least one backup of your data at another location.
|My System Specs
|18 Feb 2011
Okay, I just uninstalled ERUNT, and tried to re enable System Protection. I get this error: " The task image is corrupt or has been tampered with.. Error: 0x80041321." I just tried to search it in the forums, and there is no thread related to that... Does anyone know what it is?
|My System Specs
|18 Feb 2011
I'm guessing that refers to Windows built in backup, or a schedule for it. I don't use Windows built in backup, so I can only refer you to Googling that error number.
Do you have system restore turned on? That is a different thing and is a quick way to restore to a prior time and usually works well.
|My System Specs
|18 Feb 2011
This is strange, I get that error message when I try to click OK or Apply when I am in the "Configure" window, but then I just made a successful restore point...
Anyways, I saw a thread that talks about using Macrium. Does imaging back up pictures? Or other things?
Thank you for your help by the way, I really appreaciate it :)
|My System Specs
|18 Feb 2011
An image of a C partition (or any partition) would include EVERYTHING on it. If your pictures are on C, your pictures would be part of the image.
But as I originally said--imaging can fail and I don't think you should rely on imaging to back up your personal data. If you want to make an image of C to backup Windows, that's fine. But I would then separately backup my data WITHOUT using an image.
When people have problems with imaging, it is normally when they try to restore the image. Only then do they find out they can't do it and they don't really have a backup. No big deal if all you lost is the time required to install Windows. But a very big deal if your hard drive failed and you tried to get your pictures back through your image--only to find out you could not.
|My System Specs
|18 Feb 2011
That makes sense. On your previous post, you recommended file by file method. How do I go about doing that? ( I apologize for the baby-step questions, I am totally new to the backup process.)
|My System Specs
|18 Feb 2011
You use an application, some of which are free and some are not.
I use Second Copy, cost $30, with a 30 day free trial.
Others use Synctoy (I think that is the name of it--it's free from Microsoft). I think Microsoft has another free one also, whose name escapes me. Go to somewhere like Softpedia.com and do a search for backup applications and you will see a bunch of them. Stick with one that makes sense to you and is well reviewed.
The good ones are HIGHLY configurable. You can backup jpegs, but not Word documents if you want. You can backup just video files if you want. You can backup just stuff in a certain directory. Etc. You have total control over what, when, and to where.
Another free one is Karen's Replicator.
Google something like "backup applications" and you will get a lot of hits.

I have a folder with sub-folders where I keep all my photos and videos. I also have a data partition for all the rest of my misc files. SyncToy lets me setup what folder I want to backup and it checks for any changes and updates the backup. You can set up multiple pairs to backup and it works great and is free. I can add,delete, move or rename files and SyncToy sees it all and updates the backup.

Virgin Australia Posts Deep Loss
Australia Carrier Sells Stake in Frequent-Flier Business to Asian Private Equity Firm
SYDNEY— Virgin Australia Ltd. sold a stake in its frequent-flier business to Asian private-equity firm Affinity Equity Partners after the airline posted a deep annual loss.
Australia's biggest carrier after Qantas Airways Ltd. said it posted a net loss in the year through June of 355.6 million Australian dollars (US$332.7 million), widening a A$98.1 million loss a year earlier. Affinity paid A$336 million for a 35% stake in the company's loyalty business.
Virgin Australia's Chief Financial Officer Sankar Narayan said the airline wasn't under pressure to bolster its balance sheet, and that it decided to sell the stake because it needed more capital to expand the business quickly. "We want to turbocharge the growth profile," Mr. Narayan said in an interview.
On Thursday, Qantas said it had shelved a potential sale of its frequent-flier business because it was too profitable to part with. Virgin Australia's business is at an earlier stage of development.
Brisbane-based Virgin Australia said it had also decided to set up a new freight business, which it expects to get underway in the current financial year.
Its underlying pretax loss, a measure of operating performance, of A$211.7 million, was broadly in line with market expectations. The wider net loss reported was dragged down by impairment charges linked to weakness on the Bali route and restructuring costs worth a combined A$56.9 million.
More broadly, both Virgin Australia and Qantas have suffered from intense price competition on domestic routes.

It's been two years (or maybe almost three, I don't even remember) since I've logged on. My friend decided to finally play this game, so I figured I'd reactivate my account.
So my first impression when I logged on. Hagun is 20K, wha?!?! I worked my bottoms off for that GK, but whatever. Just about everything AH-able that I'm wearing is dirt cheap now. Why oh why didn't I see this coming and SOLD every bloody thing! I'd be filthy rich right now... seeing how the price of a lot of stuff is.
To the main reason I'm posting:
Honestly, I know I'll have to level up to the new cap since I'm only a puny lvl 75SAM, lol... sooooo, I just wanted to ask what should I be working towards now? Gear-wise. Because, like I've mentioned, I'm completely clueless. Also, is my entire gearset obsolete? What can I, or can't I use anymore? My 75SAM gear before I quit:
Main: Hagun
Sub: Pole Grip
Ammunition: Tiphia Sting
Head: W. Turb (Wyvern Helm)
Neck: Chivalrous Chain (Snow Gorget)
Ear1: Brutal Earring
Ear2: Bushinomimi
Body: Haubergeon ( I forgot if I wore Haubergeon or Hachiman body for this :S )
Hand: Hachiman Kote (Alkyoneus's Bracelets)
Ring1: Rajas Ring
Ring2: Iota Ring (Flame Ring)
Back: Forager's Mantle
Waist: Swift Belt (Warwolf Belt)
Legs: Byakko's Haidate ( Byakko's or Shura :S )
Feet: Fuma Sune-ate (Fourth Schuhs)
It's been a LONG time. Again, I'm sorry if I'm asking anything that's already asked before, but please help me out. :(

19 designs for the International Criminal Court in The Hague went on display yesterday in the Atrium of The Hague City Hall following the announcement of the winning firms. Ingenhoven Architects of Düsseldorf, Germany; Schmidt Hammer Lassen / Bosch & Fjord of Århus, Denmark and Wiel Arets Architects & Associates of Maastricht, The Netherlands were selected by an international jury chaired by Chief Government Architect of The Netherlands, Liesbeth van der Po for first, second and third prize respectively. Over the next three months the architects will consult with the International Criminal Court to develop their designs with each standing equal chance of winning the commission in early 2009.
Ingenhoven's design was commended in the jury's report for its approach to the criteria: "The ICC's values such as transparency, communication and efficiency are reflected in the view of the Jury, who states it as a 'happy building', which creates a new democratic image of a court and a deep philosophy to justice."
Schmidt Hammer Lassen and Bosch & Fjord's design is made from rows of various-sized square towers united by a rectangular base and will be integrated into the dunes of dry and wet grasslands that surround the site. Creative Director and partner of SHL architects, Bjarne Hammer said: "We are delighted that the ICC jury has selected our design for this extremely prestigious shortlist. The practice has tried to create a building which reflects the ICC's core values of compassion and impartiality, whilst also creating a striking structure that complements the surrounding landscape."
Wiel Arets design is the boldest with the authors of the design comparing their project with 'precious gemstones set into jewellery'. The jury said: "The significant approach leads to a unique project, which corresponds with an interesting landscape concept; the hedge gardens can be integrated into the external security concept. At first sight the gesture seem rather introvert, but the openings in the facades soften this impression."
The final design will be
presented in 2010, after which construction is due to start in 2011. Work on the new building
for the International Criminal Court is scheduled for completion in 2014.

After initial excitement, there are definitely more than a few reservations about the Pozzo family's blueprint for the club
"The Academy is close to the heartbeat of the club and this will continue to be very important to Watford`s future progress," the statement read. That was July 3, just 51 days ago yet it already feels like a lifetime.
The Pozzo family have yet to address the Hornet`s supporters since, and whilst that in itself is not a problem, indeed it`s their style as Granada and Udinese correspondents observe, all the indications are that the club`s owners will very much go back on that statement.
Of course last week brought the news that the club would not go for EPPP Category One status, and would instead settle for Category Three, a decision which prohibits the club from signing players up for their academy system before a certain age as well as restricting the fee another club would have to pay to sign an academy player. The decision also cost Watford their participation in the brand-new U21 league against stellar opposition.
Speculation is now growing that Watford`s pioneering link-up with the Harefield Academy, a project which has drawn interest from a number of big European clubs, is set to end as well. The Watford Observer revealed on Tuesday that the club had refused to comment on whether or not the partnership would be scrapped, and whilst there is nothing more than speculation fuelling the fire at the moment, it is a little unnerving.
Category One status academies need to be able to commit a minimum of £2.3m per annum to the running of the academy set up. For Category Two, that figure is £1.5m, and for Category Three and the Hornets, just £500,000 is needed. At present, and going on The Watford Observer`s figures, Watford spent between £1.3m and £1.6m per annum on the Harefield Academy partnership.
The partnership has of course yielded enormous success. Connor Smith`s debut at Crystal Palace saw the Irishman become the 51st academy graduate of the club after Britt Assombalonga broke the 50 barrier last term.
Boss Gianfranco Zola maintains that homegrown players will continue to play a big part in his side going forward, so long as they`re good enough.
He told The Watford Observer: "I have said a few times that there is always places in my squad for good young players from our Academy. "I have said a few times that there is always places in my squad for good young players from our Academy.
"Watford has a great reputation for youth development. I would say that it is here, more than any other club in the league, where the path from the Academy into the first-team squad is the shortest."
However, despite the assurances of both the manager and the owners, Watford have continued to stockpile Udinese and Granada players today with the season-long loan capture of Marco Cassetti from Udinese. Released at the end of his contract by Roma this summer, the former Italy international signed for the Zebrette without making an appearance before being moved to WD18 on loan. Cassetti brings the number of Pozzo family loanees up to seven now, with Udinese`s young Brazilian defender Neuton still being linked.
There has always been a large number of players being moved between both Granada and Udinese and it is an extremely cost effective and prudent way of running the three clubs, which is of course the crux of the issue. Whilst the Pozzo`s foot each club`s wage bill, they might as well get the best possible value from each player by moving them to where they will be best utilised. As Laurence Bassini shrewdly pointed out before his departure from the club, 'the Pozzo family have over 100 players to choose from.` Whilst his observation might have displayed his lack of grasp on football, it has since proven to be extremely accurate with the seven loanees arriving.
Watford have relied on loanees for years now. The impact of players such as Ben Foster and Tom Cleverley recorded in the history books as they collected the club`s 'Player of the Season` award during season-long loans at the Vic`. However, in more affluent times the hope for many might well have been to see a few more permanent additions to build some sort of affinity with.
However, that said, some of the current crop could be around for a while still if history is anything to go by. Alex Geijo spent two years at Granada before moving here, whilst Cameroonian right-sided player Allan Nyom has been on-loan at the Andalusian club since 2009 now, racking up over 100 appearances for the club.
This is a model which has clearly worked for both Udinese and Granada, and now Watford are privileged enough to become members of the Pozzo`s 'common market`. It is a cost effective method of signing players and one imagines that Zola will not just be handed these players and told to get on with it, but that he will be given the final say on whether or not he wants them.
As the boys on the From the Rookery End Podcast suggested in this month`s addition, the Premier League is the biggest shopwindow in the world, and when Watford have been promoted under the Pozzo`s, suddenly they`ll become the biggest club of the three and we`ll be the biggest shop window of the three. Whether that means we`ll revert from loaning players in from Udinese and Granada to selling off our players at a profit because they`re being taken notice of, as is the Pozzo blueprint, or whether we`ll be loaning out 20 players a season that we don`t currently need, will not be seen for a while yet.
The immediate concern is that Watford have shot themselves in the foot by effectively ceasing operations on their home-grown talent line. How true that is also remains to be seen, but if the Pozzo family do grind the alliance with the Harefield Academy to a halt, it will be a real shame.
It`s certainly going to take some getting used to, this model…

Guaranteeing quality to consumers and securing fair prices for farmers are the twin aims of the "Quality Package" for food and agricultural products adopted by the European Commission on 10 December 2010. The Quality Package was the first step in the revision of agricultural product quality policy, resulting in the adoption of new quality legislation (Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012).
For the first time, the Quality Package puts in place a comprehensive policy on certification schemes, value-adding terms for agricultural product qualities, and product standards, covering the different facets of quality, from the compliance with minimum standards to the production of highly specific products.
Launched in 2010, the Quality Package resulted in the adoption of new quality legislation that entered into force in 2013: Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. In addition, the European Commission set up guidelines on best practices for labelling and certification schemes.
The Package included:
- 'Agricultural Product Quality Schemes Regulation', bringing coherence and clarity to the European Union (EU) schemes; reinforcing the flagship scheme for protected designations of origin and geographical indications (PDOs and PGIs); overhauling the traditional specialities guaranteed scheme (TSGs), and laying down a new framework for the development of Optional Quality Terms, such as feeding method and production method;
>> Read the legislative proposals on agricultural product policy schemes
- general marketing standard for all agricultural products and conferring to the European Commission the right to adopt place‑of‑farming and other sectoral rules for marketing products;
>> Read the legislative proposals on marketing standards
- best practice guidelines on voluntary certification schemes and on the labelling of products using Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) ingredients.
>> Read the guidelines on certification schemes
>> Read the guidelines on labelling of products using PDO-PGI ingredients

By Erica Flock
I was walking through my neighborhood in Washington, DC last month when I noticed gleaming new solar panels on someone's roof.
"Good for them," I thought. "At least one neighbor made the switch." But days later, I noticed freshly installed solar panels on another neighbor's roof. Was this a coincidence? Why were my neighbors suddenly going solar at the same time?
I grabbed a brochure from outside one of the homes and learned that an organization called DC SUN had assisted over 150 homeowners in my part of the city go solar through something called solar bulk purchasing.
Here's how bulk purchasing works: a resident or two decides they want to put solar panels on their home, but the cost might be a little too high, or they're daunted by the thought of going through the process without assistance. So they get a group of neighbors in the same room to talk about going solar together. Maybe it's a dozen people, maybe it's a hundred. In any case, the group shares resources and solicits bids from solar installers, picking the one they like best. Then each participating homeowner signs a contract with the selected installer and saves up to 30% on their photovoltaic (PV) system.
Anya Schoolman has popularized bulk purchasing in Washington, DC. Back in 2009, she started the Mount Pleasant Solar Cooperative with her teenage son and his friend after they had seen An Inconvenient Truth.
"If we're going to go through all the work to figure out how to go solar, we're going to do the whole neighborhood," Anya said of the initial project. Now the concept is taking off in every ward of the city and Schoolman's organization Community Power Network is assisting other states too.
People from Arizona to Massachusetts have discovered that bulk purchasing is a win-win. Not only do households get to install less expensive clean energy, installers get the assurance and convenience of a guaranteed customer base.
So how much does a solar system cost?
In Washington DC, the sticker price of a modest 3 Kw system is about $13,500. After tax credits, bulk purchase discount and a year of clean energy generation, the system costs a little over $3000. Over time, residents will earn the cost of the panels and installation back as low electricity bills become the norm. Some homeowners opt to lease their solar panels through a "power purchase agreement," avoiding up-front costs entirely. Each state has different incentives so check out the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) to learn about policies in your area.
There's something empowering about switching to clean energy with other people in your community. And the sight of multiple homes with rooftop solar normalizes clean energy in a way that nothing else could.
When it comes to renewable energy, you don't have to go it alone. Want to learn how you can go solar with your neighbors and save money too? Check out this list of existing bulk purchasing programs or read this handy guide for how to start your own!

This week, San Luis Obispo County Animal Services shelter volunteer Ellen Perryess once again highlights Bubba, who was featured in Pet Tales in January, in hopes of finally finding him a forever home. Because he is the shelter's longest resident, it is essential he find a home soon. Here's what Perryess has to say about Bubba:
Bubba's a good old dude. Each day he gets up, heads to his kennel gate and hopes.
Every passer-by is a potential walking companion or, if he's lucky, it's someone who will fall for his sweet face and take him home.
But so far he hasn't been lucky.
Bubba's been star-crossed. He and his daughter were left by their owner at the SLO County Animal Services shelter. Baby was adopted, leaving Bubba behind. Bubba is now the longest residing dog at the shelter; it's been four months of being passed up because he's perceived as being too old.
But Bubba is age-defying. He enjoys going for walks and, if given the chance, realizes his passion for chasing ground squirrels; in his effortless lope you can see the boxer in his genetic makeup.
He also lays to rest the adage about old dogs. Bubba loves to learn, especially when there are treats to be had. He knows the commands "sit," "shake" and "down" and is game to learn more. Bubba so wants to please that he regularly offers up his paw just to be friendly.
Many people are pulling for Bubba; one has even paid half his adoption fee in the hope that it will help him find a home.
Bubba's an earnest guy who wants to be someone's lifelong pal; his paw reaches out to try to win someone's heart.
But until he finds that receptive someone, the dude must abide.
For more information about Bubba, ID No. 196129, call the volunteer line at the San Luis Obispo County animal shelter at 781-4413 or visit http://www.sloanimalservices.com.
The Animal Services shelter is at 885 Oklahoma Ave., off Highway 1 in San Luis Obispo.
To see more shelter animals available for adoption, visit http://www.sloanimalservices.com.
The adoption fee is $80 for cats and $105 for dogs, plus a $25 county license fee for dogs if the adopters are San Luis Obispo County residents. The adoption fee includes spay or neuter, basic vaccinations, microchip, eligibility for a free veterinarian check, new collar and ID tag, and carrier for cats.

text: Hello all, No doubt due to the weather delays that have repeatedly postponed the latest Delta Iridium launch out of Vandenberg (now scheduled for early Wednesday morning, 18 February), the previously scheduled Minuteman III test launch has slipped two days: WAS: FEB 18 00:01-06:01 PST Minuteman III ICBM test launch NOW: FEB 20 00:01-06:01 PST Minuteman III ICBM test launch Weather permitting (hah!) this should be a nice sight from the west coast. As for the planned Iridium launch tomorrow morning, as of 4:45pm PST Tuesday 17 Feb, weather looks promising for launch. The launch hotline says there's only a 10% chance of scrub due to weather. --Rob

New breweries have been popping up all over the place in recent years as interest in craft beer spreads at a frenzied pace. For many novice beer drinkers, there's a desire to try new stuff, but often the comfort of sticking with the established breweries wins out.
So, to make it easier for you to venture out of the norm, we came up with a list of great local beers that you may not have heard of. Some are my personal favorites, while others come as popular suggestions from some of my most beer-savvy friends on Twitter.
Jack's Abby
Framingham, MA
Framinghammer Baltic Porter
Jack's Abby Brewing was formally founded in January, 2011 by three brothers – who conveniently happen to own a hops farm in Vermont as well. Their up-coming winter seasonal, the Framinghammer Baltic Porter is, as they describe it, a "big, bold, and black" lager style with similarities to Imperial Stouts – ABV 10%. If those sound too intimidating, don't worry. Their year-round Jabby Brau is a a nice light Session Lager that's smooth and balanced with very low bitterness and ABV 4.5%.
Wormtown Brewery
Worcester, MA
"Wintah" Ale
Wormtown Brewery opened on St. Patrick's Day, 2010. They have laid claim to being the first and ONLY brewery to use Massachusetts grown ingredients in EVERY beer they make. Their Wintah Seasonal is a medium-bodied American Brown Ale with a nice malty kick and an aftertaste of roasty cocoa. 6% ABV
Idle Hands Craft Ales
Everett, MA
Idle Hands was founded in 2010 by husband-and-wife combo Christopher and Grace Tkach. Their flagship beer is a medium-bodied Belgian Pale Ale / IPA with flavors of citrus & grapefruit, light toast and hints of white pepper and allspice. ABV: 6.0%
Night Shift Brewing
Everett, MA
Taza Chocolate Stout
Night Shift was founded in 2011 by three friends living in a Somerville apartment and launched in 2012. Their Taza Chocolate Stout is a brew that is packed with a light, but creamy, buttery, and chocolatey goodness – with a hint of ginger spice. Also, in case you couldn't guess, it's made with Somerville's finest – Taza Chocolate. 6.3% ABV.
Founded in an Allston Apartment
Founder and brewer Helder Pimentel grew up in Taunton and started messing around with brewing while living in Allston. Backlash doesn't have a permanent home at this point. Pimentel has collaborated with Night Shift to create OnceMade Beer, but we'll save that one for a different post. Backlash's Groundswell is a crisp and refreshing Belgian Style Blond Ale. ABV: 6.4%
Attic and Eaves
Caitlin Jewell and Jeff Leiter studied up and messed around with homebrewing for more than a decade before launching in 2011. They're based in Somerville, but brew out of Mercury Brewing Company in Ipswich. They just debuted a brand new late-autumn seasonal brew Attic and Eaves. It's a brown ale with a nice strong toasted malt flavor. ABV 7.5%. They also make a fantastic not-quite-as strong porter — appropriately named Porter Square Porter.
As mentioned, the list of great beers is growing. Along with a few of the brews listed above, our friends "the Twitter experts" suggested the following awesome breweries that we have featured in the past:
Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project, Somerville
Blue Hills Brewery, Canton
Fisherman's (Cape Ann Brewing Co.), Gloucester
Mayflower Brewing Co., Plymouth
Ipswich (Mercury Brewing), Ipswich
And in case you didn't notice, we limited the list to Mass. brews. Here are some other great New England beers worth trying if you haven't already:
Allagash Brewing Co., Portland, Maine
Rising Tide Brewing Co., Portland, Maine
Baxter Brewing Co, Lewiston, Maine
The Alchemist, Waterbury, Vermont
White Birch Brewing, Hooksett, New Hampshire
Tuckerman Brewing Co., Conway, New Hampshire
Newport Storm, Newport, Rhode Island
And finally, two Mass. breweries that are on our radar for the next edition:
Cody Brewing Co., Amesbury
The Tap Brewing Co (formerly Haverhill Brewing Co.), Haverhill
