Bend Dry Cleaner goes "Green" as part of DEQ Enforcement Settlement
by Bend Weekly News Sources
Company's funding of a $124,000 Supplemental Environmental Project reduces penalty for violations of hazardous waste and dry cleaning regulations
Reflections Enterprises, LLC of Bend, doing business as Al Phillips' Mirror Pond Cleaners (Mirror Pond), has paid a $1,147 Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) penalty for violations of hazardous waste and dry cleaning regulations at its cleaning facility located at 615 N. Franklin Ave., Bend.
Under the terms of a Mutual Agreement and Order, the company has proposed, and DEQ approved, a $124,000 Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP). In addition to reducing Mirror Pond's $5,734 penalty by 80 percent, the project included the replacement of Mirror Pond's existing dry cleaning machines that use toxic chemicals with GreenEarth machines using a silicone-based solvent that is less toxic and produces a smaller amount of hazardous waste. Mirror Pond installed the new machines on June 29-30, 2006.
Mirror Pond also agreed to state in a prominent manner that the project was undertaken as part of a settlement of a DEQ enforcement action if and when it publicizes the SEP, or the results of the SEP. Based on new information provided by Mirror Pond regarding reasonable efforts to comply, the company's original penalty was reduced from $6,124 to $5,734. In accordance with SEP procedures, DEQ agreed to mitigate the $5,734 revised penalty by 80 percent, further reducing the penalty to $1,147.
A SEP is an environmentally beneficial activity that a violator voluntarily agrees to perform as part of an enforcement settlement. It's also a means through which the responsible party may reduce penalties by agreeing to conduct projects that benefit the public health and environment in Oregon.
"SEPs go beyond what is required of a violator to return to compliance with environmental requirements and which the respondent is not otherwise legally required to perform," said Jeff Ingalls of DEQ's Hazardous Waste Program in Bend. "Mirror Pond's decision -- made at great expense, I might add -- to switch out its old dry cleaning machines for the GreenEarth machines is a tremendous step for pollution prevention, as Mirror Pond is one of Oregon's top three dry cleaners. Not only does this reduce chlorinated solvent usage, it makes Mirror Pond a better and safer environment for its employees. This is truly a win-win settlement."
A May 19, 2005 inspection of the facility documented violations of Oregon's hazardous waste and dry cleaning regulations related to handling, generation and storage of perchlorethylene (PCE or "perc") and PCE-contaminated wastes on the property. PCE, a chlorinated organic solvent, can pose a serious threat to the environment and has a potential to contaminate groundwater. Liquid perc can enter the body through ingestion or by breathing its airborne vapors. The most common effects of overexposure to PCE are irritation of the eyes, nose, throat or skin, and effects on the nervous system.
In 1995, Oregon passed legislation proposed by the dry cleaning industry to address cleanup liability. The dry cleaning statute requires all dry cleaners to implement waste minimization and hazardous waste management practices designed to lessen or possibly eliminate future releases of dry cleaning solvents to the environment.
At the time of the May 2005 inspection, Mirror Pond failed to comply with these procedures. Accordingly, DEQ ordered Mirror Pond to immediately correct the violations and come into full compliance with Oregon's hazardous waste and dry cleaning facility laws. Violations included failure to make a hazardous waste determination on its dry cleaning lints and other perc-containing material prior to disposal as hazardous waste, which resulted in their illegal disposal at the local solid waste landfill; failure to store hazardous wastes in a closed container and properly labeled containers; and storage of hazardous waste for greater than 180 days.

Science Scoops: Rocking the Earth
by Stephen James O'Meara
The idea of a large rock from space walloping Earth and wreaking havoc among its citizens is not solely the stuff of Hollywood movies such as Armageddon.
Ask any planetary astronomer, and he or she will tell you that our planet is bombarded by 80 to 100 metric tons of space debris per day—but the impactors are mostly dust-size particles. However, whopper-size rocks do whiz about in space, and recently some have come uncomfortably close to our planet.
In its youth, Earth continuously was pelted by stones and vastly larger bodies. We've just learned, for example, that a huge asteroid about 19 kilometers (12 miles) wide smashed into Earth nearly 3.5 billion years ago, when the planet was just a billion years old.
We know. You're thinking, "Yeah, so what else is new?" Well, get this. Last June, a large asteroid just missed hitting Earth. The rock, labeled 2002MN, was about 50 to 120 meters (165 to 396 feet) wide and came within 120,000 kilometers (75,000 miles) of Earth—that's closer to us than the Moon. The scary note is that we didn't learn of the asteroid's existence until three days after its closest approach to Earth! Had 2002MN hit Earth, the impact could have affected an area as large as 2,080 square kilometers (about 800 square miles)—populated regions not excluded.
What's an innocent citizen of Earth to do about these extraterrestrial invaders? Read the next scoop!
- asteroid:
- One of the thousands of small planets that orbit the Sun, mostly in the region between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids range in size from about one mile to several hundred miles in diameter.
- extraterrestrial:
- Originating, located, or occurring outside Earth or its atmosphere.
- planetary astronomer:
- An expert in the scientific study and observation of planets in the universe beyond Earth.
- What can be learned about Earth by studying rocks?
- What could asteroids teach scientists about other parts of the universe?
- How long ago did the asteroid that was 19 kilometers wide hit Earth?
- How do you think scientists know that this asteroid hit Earth long ago?

The common cockle is probably the most common bivalve in New Zealand,
living just below the surface of the sand in concentrations of
thousands per square metre. They are often abundant tucked into
the root-like rhizomes of sea grass (Zostera) beds.
Cockles favour quiet harbour waters, estuary tidal flats and sheltered
coastal sand banks. When the tide is in, the cockles extend two
short siphons into the water and filter plankton as they circulate
the sea water through their gills.
They grow at about 10 mm per year for the first year or two and
then slow down, reaching about 30-mm in shell length in 3 to 4
years. Under excellent conditions, cockles may reach 18-mm and
become sexually mature in their first year. Their maximum size
is about 50-mm in shell length.
There are male and female cockles. The larger females produce
the most eggs and so stocks of big adults might be very important
to spawning success. Cockles shed their eggs and sperm into the
sea water over the summer months. Two peak spawning seasons, in
October and March, were found for cockles in Wellington Harbour
and the Bay of Islands.
The eggs are fertilised in the sea and may float for a time at
the sea surface before developing into
a tiny swimming larvae, called veligers. The larvae swim, feeding
on plankton, for about three weeks or until they reach a suitable
habitat for settlement. The larvae are attracted to chemical signals
put out by adults. Once the larvae settle on the substrate they
can swim off again if conditions are not suitable. If the signals
are good, they transform into a tiny cockles and dig in to the
Once they undergo metamorphosis, they must survive in their chosen
beach. During the first two years, however, they can move up and
down the beach - often migrating together in large numbers.
Most of the young cockles don't survive long. Only a few of the
millions spawned survive to become adults.
People are one of the main predators on cockles. The legal limit
is 150 per day per person but many people take far more than their
The variable Oystercatcher (Haematopus unicolor) can gobble
up 200 cockles a day.
Some gastropods, such as the Speckled Whelk (Cominella adspersa)
and the Mud Whelk (Cominella glandiformis) eat cockles.
They are also killed by starfish, flounder and eagle rays and
may be buried by shifting sediment or smothered by very fine silt
or killed by pollution.
There are several other cockles in New Zealand. The Purple Cockle (Venericardia purpurata) lives on open beaches and sometimes in the same locations as the common cockle. It is about 30-mm in shell length and has a purple or pink colour in its shell. The Northern Cockle, (Venericardia reinga) is much less common and is restricted to the far north of New Zealand. It has a flat edge on the upper end of the shell, while the common cockle's shell is evenly rounded.

My name Yafisz Khan, I'm new here, but I'm not new to blogging. I post daily on my own blog, 2BINProductions, and I would like to thank Harvin for getting Brendan to contact Knight12ify and giving me this opportunity. Now, on to business, my posts here will be about the WWE, so what better way to start than to start big?
Ever since Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's latest final run in the WWE, we've been presented to storylines of a caliber not seen in years which highlight the WWE Championship. Some could argue that WWE Is not what it was during the days of the Ruthless Aggression Era, but I'm here to argue that they have finally hit that point again. The Rock's return was a three WrestleMania deal with John Cena, the first of which was to ignite the feud, the second of which was to highlight the feud and the third of which was to be a focal point on the greatest prize in the WWE, it's self-titled championship. Prior to early 2013, many people complained about the lack of prestige on the WWE Title. Then came CM Punk's great title reign, which managed to show the credibility of the championship, and with the Rock's capture, restore the missing prestige.
Now, John Cena's last title reign was one of his longest in years, a good sendoff to the next champion, Daniel Bryan, who seemingly had hard work ahead of him to match the caliber of the previous three champions. Nope, in cashes Randy Orton and a feud between the two is sparked on who should be the face of the WWE. The feud did not start here, though, it actually started following the capture of the WWE Tag Titles by the Shield from Team Hell No. Randy Orton got involved with Daniel Bryan and the two attempted to defeat the Shield in a losing effort. Signs of friction between the two started here as when Daniel Bryan defeated Orton, it showed just how low he had stooped since losing the World Title to Mark Henry.
Hence, Orton winning the WWE Title epitomized the fact that he would do anything to be at the top again, even rejoin with Triple H, oh, I'm sorry COO Paul Levesque. The importance of this feud is the fact that Orton has not been credible for nearly two years and Bryan has not ever been involved in the main event. The fact that CM Punk is low card for now (that won't last long) and that Cena is injured (even less) means that these two can become the Austin and Rock of 2013 and essentially leave the top dog space open for grabs.
Now, I'm not a fan of Daniel Bryan, and I believe there are plenty of others who deserve this storyline more than him. However, I do believe that he is the only one who could make this storyline as interesting as it is, considering the fact that only he can captivate a crowd so much that it can turn against once fan-favorite Randy Orton. This is what I think of Daniel Bryan:
I have to give props to the WWE again, this feud is to erase that image out of the heads of everybody and make him credible to all. This feud is essentially to bring the WWE back to the point they were at when Brock Lesnar left, when the Rock left and when Stone Cold left. This feud is essentially a reboot like Days of Future Past, to retain the old while ushering in the new. This feud is important because of how big it needs to be in comparison to what came before it. This feud will set up WrestleMania 30 to be an event about legacies, and following it will all be about the new. I think my next post has just been hinted at.
Thank you all -

Community art project to offer ideas on how to improve MacArthur Park
April 27, 2014
By Esmeralda Bermudez
Getting the strangers to open up wasn't easy. But Jesus Rodriguez, a high school senior, pressed on, clipboard and questionnaire in hand. He and about 15 other students spent Thursday evening at MacArthur Park, interviewing people about their lives, their well-being and the health of their neighborhood. Their responses will be the basis for an intricate art installation to be displayed at the park in the fall. For Rodriguez, 18, the exercise was eye-opening. He spent two hours approaching random men and women, some of them homeless.

Henry Segerstrom: Arts centric

That guy Jack, of beanstalk fame? He was small potatoes. If you want real magic from beans, look no further than what has become of the lima bean and dairy empire of Orange County's Segerstrom family. It morphed into the gold of commercial real estate, and at its 24-karat center is South Coast Plaza. In an age when people list shopping as a pastime, the high-end mall attracts almost as many people a year as the non-shopping National Mall in Washington. Henry Segerstrom, the grandson of the founding farmer, is the steward of the big switch in the family fortunes, and he's also shepherded the county's biggest arts venture, the Orange County Performing Arts Center, now called the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
'Alcestis' impresses at Boston Court Performing Arts Center
July 5, 2013
By David C. Nichols
The ancient Greek myth about Alcestis and her self-sacrifice for her spouse has seen countless versions over the centuries, from Euripides and John Milton to Handel, Gluck and Thornton Wilder. It receives a tart postmodern spin in "Alcestis" at Boston Court Performing Arts Center in Pasadena. A co-production with the Theatre@Boston Court, this striking deconstruction by Critical Mass Performance Group deploys vintage physical-theater techniques under writer-director Nancy Keystone's shrewd eye.

Movie review: 'Dragon' soars as martial arts-detective tale
November 29, 2012
By Robert Abele
Peter Ho-Sun Chan's "Dragon" begins as many Chinese martial arts films do, with bucolic village scenes that give way to a destructive, stunt-laden fight. In this case, the conflict is between interloping thugs threatening a shopkeeper, and a paper mill craftsman named Jin-xi (Donnie Yen) whose martial artistry saves the day. What follows, though, is not the typical hero's tale, but a quasi-brooding mix of "Columbo" and "A History of Violence. " Sent to investigate the thugs' deaths, rational-minded detective Xu Bai-jiu (Takeshi Kaneshiro)

Re "Are we losing the tech race?," Opinion, April 20 Michael Teitelbaum presents common-sense advice about majoring in science.

However, I disagree with Teitelbaum's assessment that science education for non-science majors should be limited to K-12.

Review: 'Be a Good Little Widow' at NoHo Arts Center tears at emotions
April 24, 2014
By F. Kathleen Foley
Playwright Bekah Brunstetter is certainly an artful emotional manipulator, as evidenced in "Be a Good Little Widow," now in its Los Angeles premiere at the NoHo Arts Center. Even though you may be keenly aware that your feelings are being slyly exploited, you just might reach for a hankie anyway. A simple premise suffices for Brunstetter's obvious but nonetheless effective comedy-drama. Up-and-coming corporate attorney Craig (Donovan Patton) is juggling the affections of two women -- his free-spirited new wife, Melody (Larisa Oleynik)
Benefit at Santa Monica Museum of Art puts guesswork into artworks

The Santa Monica Museum of Art's annual Incognito benefit may be the most democratic of all Los Angeles art world soirees: 700 works for sale by emerging and famous artists alike, all 10 by 10 inches and exactly $350 - with the artists' identities hidden from view until after purchase. But that doesn't mean strategy isn't involved. The event, which turns 10 this year, has become a touchstone for collectors looking to find valuable works by the likes of Barbara Kruger, Raymond Pettibon and Ed Ruscha.
From Matjames Metson's cluttered studio, objets d'art emerge
April 19, 2014
By Deborah Vankin
Matjames Metson's Silver Lake studio is in a 1930s Art Deco duplex perched atop a steep flight of aging, concrete stairs overlooking a cul-de-sac, which overlooks a hillside, which overlooks a bustling intersection that, from above, appears to be teeming with tiny toy cars and action-figure people. Inside, Metson's dusty, sunlit living room-turned-art studio is also full of tiny treasures. The assemblage artist builds intricate, architectural sculptures, wall hangings and furniture made from his abundant stash of objects, most of which he finds at estate sales.
Venice contemporary was haven for Anjelica Huston and her late husband

- Interview with Michael Hester, machinist with the Arkansas National Guard
Machinists use lathes and milling machines to create metal parts with an incredibly high degree of precision. Machinist schools train students to work with a wide range of industrial metal-cutting tools, such as plasma or water-jet cutters, as well as smaller hand tools -- files, hammers, calipers, micrometers and precision measuring and testing equipment. Talented machinists should understand how to read blueprints and operate complicated machinery, as well as possess knowledge of the base properties of different metals.
Machinist training can help provide the skills needed to make a range of hardware, from the titanium screws doctors use in orthopedic implants to the rivets that join airplane wings.
Machinist Education Requirements and Specializations
Machinist training can vary, but most jobs require at least a high school diploma and some kind of apprenticeship or on-the-job training, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov) reports. Advanced mechanical engineering positions, such as jobs in the aerospace and airline manufacturing industry, traditionally require a bachelor's degree, the BLS says. Many related jobs, such as engineering technician, often require a two-year associate degree in engineering technology.
Specialization in the field includes:
- Toolmaker: creates precision tools that cut, shape and form metals
- Die maker: creates metal forms used to shape and stamp metal parts. Die makers also create metal molds used to form plastics, ceramics and other materials
- Millwright: installs and dismantles heavy machinery found in factories and power plants
Machinist schools strive to train students to work as mechanical engineering technicians who help design, develop, test, and manufacture industrial machinery and other equipment by assisting with product testing, creating sketches or analyzing data and estimating costs.
Machinist Certifications
Though certification may not be required to become a machinist, there are a wide range of certification options that could really boost your skills and possibly open up new doors in the industry. This is especially relevant for those who want to specialize in the field, and for when there are new technologies that come out.
Here are a few examples of machinist certifications available, and the organizations that offer them:
- National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC): General certification provided by the ACT, for foundation skills
- Certified Production Technician (CPT): Offered by the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC), for cross-cutting technical skills
- National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS): Machining and metalforming certifications, often requiring some postsecondary education
- American Welding Society's (AWS) Certified Welder Certifications: A postsecondary program that includes skills in structural steel, petroleum pipelines, sheet metal and chemical refining industries
- International Society of Automation (ISA): A global nonprofit that provides many certifications in automation
How to Become a Machinist
As with other skilled trades, there are many different ways to become a machinist. According to BLS data, as well as advice from machinist Michael Hester of the Arkansas National Guard, here are the typical steps to take if you want to become a machinist:
- Take high school classes such as trigonometry, algebra, shop, metals and woodshop. Most machinists deal with a lot of math on the job. Try to load up on math classes to build core math skills. Additionally, some high schools offer really comprehensive elective classes with hands-on building components. This is a great way to make sure you really love to work with your hands, and to gain basic skills.
- Earn a high school diploma or GED equivalency. Most machinist schools and programs require a high school diploma or equivalent in order to enter the program. According to BLS data, a high school diploma is a good basis to have in almost every skilled trade, as well as most other jobs too.
- Earn a degree through a credentialed school or a recognized apprenticeship program. Most two-year schools that provide an AA degree in machining or machine tool technology require a high school diploma or equivalency (GED). If you go through an apprenticeship program through GE, Boeing, Electro-Motive or Ford Motors, it is very likely that would be recognized by other organizations.
- Get certified. Although certification is not required to become a machinist, there are a large number of certifications that can add to your knowledge and supplement your education.

Reasons to Pursue a Career as a Machinist
To find out more about how to become a machinist, we spoke with Michael Hester, who has been a machinist since 1988 and has worked in a number of different work and machine shop environments. While he initially trained as an apprentice under a German machinist/tool and die maker, his career has taken him in many different directions and he now runs the machine shop at Camp Robinson in Arkansas.
Q: Why pursue a career as a machinist?
Hester: Most people that even entertain the idea of machining are actually "makers" at heart. What better way to make a living than actually making things? For me, there is a deep satisfaction in making something precise out of a piece of raw material, sort of like a sculptor carving an exquisite statue out of blank piece of marble. In many places I have worked, the pay for a machinist was well above the average mean income. I have been doing this long enough to see that in weak economies, having the skills of a machinist put you in a much better position for work than say a person with a degree in archaeology or hospitality management. If a person makes a long term plan to work for a large company, there is certainly upward mobility.
Q: Is it easy to move up in the career?
Hester: More often than not, if a person sets out to they can move up to designing and even to engineering for the company. Many of the engineers I have worked with started in the shop. It also gives you a great foundation for starting your own business. Almost every machinist will see something that either needs to be made or something that could be made better.
Q: What tips do you have for people starting out in this career?
Hester: Have a career plan, show up early, stay late and work hard when you are there. It sounds simple, but you would be surprised how many people can't even get that done. If you don't care enough to do that, don't expect the boss to care about keeping you on. Do some asking and make sure you are actually the type who will thrive with this type of work. Take advantage of every opportunity to learn something new from the more experienced people in the shop. Take initiative and accept responsibility. Brush up on trig and algebra, nothing fancy, just the simple stuff. Most shops now use at least some CNC machines; brush up on G and M code writing. You don't have to master it, but learning it on your own shows initiative. Always have someone else check your parts before you send them to QA-QC (quality assurance-quality control). It is amazing how easy it is to get the wrong dimensions in your head and think your part is right when it isn't. A second set of eyes can save your bacon.
Machinist salary and career outlook
The field is expected to grow 7 percent -- adding 33,700 jobs -- from 2012 through 2022, the BLS reports. The BLS also reported national median annual salaries for machinists of $39,570 in May 2013, while the highest-paid 10 percent earned at least $60,070 and the lowest-paid 10 percent earned up to $24,280. Texas, California, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois employ the greatest number of machinists.
Workers with computer skills and formal machinist training may have the best job prospects, according to the BLS. The ability to run a variety of CNC and milling equipment is also crucial to career advancement.

Naomi Klein is a dedicated anti-corporatist and class warrior. Long before she focused on climate change, she was committed to battling the exploitation that seems to inevitably accompany aggregation of corporate power and wealth. That framing drives her analysis of anthropogenic climate change, embedding this profound environmental issue in an associated social, economic, and humanitarian context.
Klein is convinced that the crisis of climate change will be the catalyst for the political and economic revolution for which she has long struggled. She advocates that climate advocates embrace the accusation of right-wing pundits that climate change is a stalking horse for social revolution, and rise to their revolutionary role. She believes that these two seemingly intractable problems, (economic injustice and climate change), are the most profound moral challenges of our time, and can only be solved if they are attacked in tandem. Klein's book is an explication of this political jujitsu, justification and recipe for turning a political epithet into a political agenda.
Klein exhorts society to reject an "extractivist" mentality in favor of an ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable alternative. Her soaring prose is powerful and thought-provoking, although perhaps occasionally too sweeping. For example, she vests tremendous hope in the power of Indigenous people and local control to protect the environment, but the efficacy of such a strategy deserves more rigorous evaluation than her romanticized vision seems to allow.
The book is not without other flaws, laden with too much Monday morning quarterbacking, too much 20-20 hindsight, too many unsubstantiated declarations about how much better things would have been if only yesterday's leaders had possessed Klein's wisdom. If only President Carter had framed his "malaise" speech in terms of shared sacrifice, the nation would have been galvanized to energy conservation. If only environmental organizations had eschewed common ground with corporate interests, meaningful climate legislation would have passed Congress in 2008.
Her indictments of major environmental organizations for "selling out" presume that her strategies (public protests and lawsuits) would have been more successful. That question is worth debate, but surely more complex than she presents. Lawsuits, for example, only work if the law is on your side. If you can't pass environmentally protective laws, lawsuits become powerless.
She relies on anecdotes to argue that the largest environmental organizations have become "part of the problem," but anecdotes – even many of them – should not be the basis for sweeping generalizations. To pick one example, I don't know how the Nature Conservancy can justify oil production on conservation land, but I'd like to hear their side of the story. In any case, a complete accounting of any organization should include all its works, good and bad.
Unfortunately, Klein's hostility to corporations and economic incentives blinds her to what could be constructive tools. She seems to categorically reject markets and economic incentives, rather than evaluating them on a case-by-case basis. Her prescription seems to be simply, "force the corporations to do the right thing." If only it were so easy.
Klein's fundamental priority is upending the global economic system – for which climate change is but one of many justifications. Only time will tell whether embedding climate action in an agenda of global political revolution is constructive, but her moral framing and hope in the face of overwhelming obstacles should resonate with many people of faith.
Overall, I have never so strongly recommended a book with which I have so many disagreements. I recommend this book not because I agree with the author on every point, but because she provocatively and articulately raises profoundly important questions. This book should be the basis for a very stimulating LDS Earth Stewardship book group.

The mobile app development market, once projected to top out at $100 billion/year, may hit a plateau by the end of 2013 due to new and inexpensive app creation software, known as "app builders."
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 27, 2012
The mobile app development market, once projected to top out at $100 billion/year, may hit a plateau by the end of 2013 due to new and inexpensive app creation software, known as "app builders." Online, mobile app builders such as AppGenerate and Sweb Apps have substantially reduced the high development costs of mobile apps, with some analysts predicting the average price to drop to $600 per application; which would roughly mirror the price decline in the website development market between 2004-2006, after the proliferation of the popular "website builder," WordPress.
This new software allows users with no IT experience to develop mobile applications, which would otherwise have to be written in complex, programming languages. There are currently 2.3 billion, activated smartphones in the world and mobile applications account for nearly 84% of total use time for these devices.
The app industry is just under 6 years old and critical pricing information (such as Apple's App Store requirements) is not easily accessed. Subsequently, the market has long refused to conform to traditional economic modeling and it was impossible for the average consumer to know how much labor programmers required to complete their requests for development. Prices varied wildly, with an estimated $87.4 billion lost in revenue amongst 98,400 firms from 2008-2011 due to inflated pricing. Popular online freelancing site, oDesk, reported their community of 70,000 app developers (13,000 of which are based in the US) estimate an average of 45-540 hours of labor for mobile app proposals, the largest such estimate range on the site; nearly 17 times larger than the average estimate range for website development projects.
The recent proliferation of app building software underpins a suspicion that a once-promising market may now suddenly contract. MBA students at the Wharton School of Business recently published a paper predicting that automations in the mobile app space will lead to a loss of revenue and jobs for firms offering app development services, especially in the West and Northeast regions of the US. Cities that are expected to be hit the hardest are San Francisco, San Jose, and Boulder. It is estimated that US firms will shed 3.4% of their app developer positions between 2013-2015.

Through his 20 years of coaching, Matt Dixon has identified five common triathlete archetypes that, despite best intentions and total dedication, fall short of realizing individual athletic potential. Could you be making the same mistakes?
I believe that it is too common for athletes and coaches to place a singular focus on the simple accumulation of training miles or hours without considering the critical supporting elements that facilitate successful training. Aspects such as fueling, sleep, recovery and healthy eating habits are often considered mere afterthoughts, with the greatest barometer of training success measured simply in "how much." This proves costly for many amateur athletes, as most have to balance training load with very busy lives at work, with family and relationships, as well as a myriad of other factors. Logging hours of training, at the exclusion of what I call "the supporting cast," typically leads to the rest of life becoming overstretched. We have so many athletes walking around fit yet fatigued, and not achieving the results of their hard work. Here are the five most common self-sabotaging training scenarios I've seen, and how you can avoid the same pitfalls.
Case Study #1: The Busy Executive
Joe is a top executive at a rapidly growing, successful company. He thrives on his leadership role and has to manage an ever-expanding work schedule, oversee a large number of employees and travel frequently across time zones. At home, Joe has two children and a hugely supportive wife, who appreciate (tolerate) his high motivation for Ironman triathlon. He is committed to being a great leader, a wonderful husband and father, but he also wants to excel in races.
Joe often struggles to complete all of the training prescribed, despite scheduling out 15 to 18 hours of time to achieve the work. Often compromising sleep to fit in the training, he has started to feel energy dips in work, as well as an overall feeling of falling behind in the needed training time to be successful in his sport. Travel is his worst enemy, as the eating plan often goes out the window, sleep is further compromised, and his make-up training sessions are often poor quality as they are typically completed right off the plane. He tends to train from race to race, complains that he's hit a performance plateau and doesn't feel like he's thriving in various areas of life.
The fix:
My initial recommendation to Joe was to get healthy and take a break. I gave him 10 days of very low-stress training, with a mission to restore energy and health.
The second step was to do a thorough realistic analysis of his life. The goal was to assess his true training availability, after the demands of work and family were taken into account, as well as proper allotment of both sleep and some social time. We realized he only had 10 to 12 hours of available time weekly to apply to training, with some weeks less time, and some a little more. It was no wonder his 15 to 18 hours were a struggle. I then encouraged him to view training through a different lens. Rather than ask how many hours were necessary to become race ready, I encouraged him to ask how he could maximize the available hours. This subtle shift completely changed the conversation. He could now build the training within the context of life and allow training to become integrated into—instead of dumped on top of—life.
The next fix was to address some fundamental habits that could help with recovery, energy management, sleep quality and body composition. We simply committed to fueling after every single workout, maintained quality daily hydration, committed to a little more sleep, and finally adjusted the structure of the training week. Rather than viewing each training week as a string of workouts to complete, we established long-term consistency as the goal, and developed a dynamic hierarchy of workout importance. Key sessions were not to be missed in any given week, but the supporting sessions were ones that could be trimmed, cut or missed if life stress and travel got in the way. This enabled Joe to maintain specificity and consistency without feeling like a failure. The result was fewer weekly hours of training but control over his life, and the hours completed were effective. Joe felt like his training was sustainable and under control, with a set of tools to manage when work or life became hectic. His energy has become more balanced throughout each day, and workout quality has improved, as training is designed to fit into his life (not the other way around). The outcome, as ever, is improved race performance, but also a more balanced and happy life.

He missed Eliza terribly and hadn't been able to sleep in their bed without Abilene laying next to him. He still thought it was their room, even though none of her belongings were there, he thought if he smelt the bed sheets hard enough, he could still smell her perfume. It helped him feel like she was still there with him, but no matter how hard he looked through the house, he had to face the hard fact of reality, that she wasn't and it was gonna prove to be a challenge to get her back. But he needed to, not only for himself, but for Eliza. He wanted her to grow up with both her parents and if that was the last thing he did

The Internet is a great spot to find information, either for leisure or necessity. However, simply because the information is there doesn't imply that it can be read by audiences; written article on sites should also adhere to the same rules of writing that are used in other forms of media for them to completely get the interest of web visitors. To assist budding writers establish captivating pieces for the web, listed here are several website writing tips that really do the job:
Create useful as well as significant content. Writing about your daily travails might be pleasant, but if you're writing for a bigger audience; it would be easier to serve them something they could implement or relate to. Personal blog sites may still obtain a following; but this usually only occurs if you have founded personal interactions with your readers. Useful components, such as instructional guides, how-tos as well as infographics, and entertaining content like comics and also original stories usually tend to get a new site customer to check out your other materials and review the site sometime soon.
Be clear. Lengthy sentences and words are difficult to read. They can be confusing, particularly when the sentence is long enough that you lose the idea somewhere in the center of it. If there is a shorter word that you can use, opt for that. If there are words that can be disregarded, eliminate them. Try to go straight to point so that your thoughts don't become lost along the way.
Declare your conclusions in advance. When writing articles, it might be attractive to write lengthy introductions to build up to your final result; however, this technique might actually not be effective. The longer you take to get to your idea the higher the possibilities of losing your readers' interest on the way. Declaring your findings in the first paragraph is also a good method to raise the interest of readers. After realizing your final result, they will very likely read on just to find out how you attained it.
Break it up. One way to keep viewers reading is to provide information in easy-to-digest, bite-size parts. A lengthy, drawling content will most likely be simply glossed over. Lists, alternatively, are more likely to be read in their entirety. Lists also help you deliver your message in a clear approach.
Proofread before you publish. Typographical errors, misspellings, and mistakes in sentence structure hint at a deficit of professionalism. They can also give you look like inexperienced – and do remember that web viewers want to read resources from knowledgeable individuals.
A good website writing can surely catch the interest of the viewers. This can also get the attention of people who are looking for information that can help them.

Advanced Firewall Block All + Let IE & Firefox Through
I have blocked all outbound traffic in the advanced firewall window and have tried to make a rule to allow Internet Explorer and Firefox through but with no joy. I have looked through previous posts but couldnt find an answer.
I have tried the Sphinx software but I dont really need that or really want it. I just want to let browsers, anti virus and windows update through. I used to let windows update on vista through by allowing svchost through but only allowing the update service.
I allowed TCP port 80 through but that just lets most things through.
The process I did was create a new outbound rule, choose program path, choose allow (not block by default), apply to all profiles and then name the rule. But it just wont go through so I am wondering what I am doing/not doing?!
I have also tried the normal firewall window (control panel, windows firewall) and let firefox through but still didnt work for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sandman,
Thanks for your reply. After some more tinkering i think i have sorted it. Still testing though.
What I have done is when i created an outbound rule click apply to private profile only (private profile active - untick domain and public profile).
I will see how it goes. I have IE and AVG working through the firewall. Going to try windows update now.

Volunteers help fill potholes
Volunteers help fill potholes
The streets of Waterloo are a bit smoother now thanks to the efforts of a group of volunteers who spent part of their weekend filling potholes.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the volunteers filled about 400 potholes Saturday in their first weekend of work
The volunteer pothole crews will help the city's streets recover from this rough winter.
The volunteer crews have been used most every year since 1993 although they haven't been needed after the last couple mild winters.
Scott Jordan organized the volunteer crews that focused on filling potholes around schools.
Fifteen-year-old Olivia Jordan joined her dad on the crew Saturday to help fix some of the pop-spilling potholes she's encountered and give back to the community.

Portlaoise Tourist Information
Portlaoise is the prominent town in County Laois and is chock full of things to do while being the ideal base from which to explore the rich history and natural beauty in the area. The town itself is a vibrant place with a range of pubs and restaurants to suit any taste. Portlaoise is the regional focus for shopping, throughout the town you'll find memorable high street brands as well as independent stores selling unique Irish produce. There's plentiful accommodation options found in and around the town from hotels to B&BS. The surrounding villages each offer a different experience as well as locally ran stores offering truly unique gifts.
County Laois' central position made it an extremely important strategic position throughout history as invading forces attempted to hold back the native western forces. There's said to be over a thousand historical sites found throughout the Laois countryside so there's more than enough to keep the biggest history buff interested. The landscape and natural scenes alone are a reason to visit this area of the country, sprawling green hills offer fantastic views of running rivers and dense forests. There's a multitude of signed walking trails that take you through the countryside passing by many of the historical attractions found throughout the land. The Slieve Bloom Mountains offer a majestic background and are highly recommended to avid hikers and leisurely strollers alike, it's also possible to take many of the mountain trails on horseback, a wonderful experience not easily forgotten.
Tourist Attractions
The Rock of Dunamase is about 10 minutes from Portlaoise and it is here you'll find ruins atop a hill offering views as far as the eye can see. This rocky outcrop that towers over the surrounding land has been used as a defensive position since the 9th century. Following the Norman Invasion in the 12th century a fortification was built here and soon became the most important Anglo-Norman fort in all of Laois. Throughout the years the fort was continually updated until it was eventually destroyed by the Cromwellian generals Hewson and Reynolds in 1651. Although these ruins are a shadow of what was it's easy to imagine the once mighty structure as you look out from the top of the hill.
In the nearby village of Timahoe you'll find one of the best example of a round tower in Ireland. This structure was once used by the resident monks to protect precious artefacts, in taking refuge from raiding forces and as a beacon to travellers journeying to the monastery. The tower stands 30 metres tall, has walls 2 metres thick and an impressive cap that was rebuilt in the 19th century.
In 1790 the first Earl of Portarlington enlisted the services of the architect James Gandon to build him a residence. Gandon built a stunning neo-classical building now known as Emo Court which features beautiful gardens. The house and gardens are open to visitors and is the perfect way to find some tranquillity and free yourself of stress. Emo Court House and Gardens are a mere 15 minute drive from Portlaoise and are well worth a visit during your time in County Laois.

This surely wasn't how Sarah Palin intended to tell Americans that, if elected, she'd be not only the first woman to serve as vice president, but also the first grandmother. On Monday, though, Palin disclosed that her not-yet-wed, 17-year-old daughter is five months' pregnant. That word answered a tide of speculation on Internet blogs that a Palin daughter, and not Palin herself, had given birth to Trig, the family's Down-syndrome baby; Palin, you see, must have faked a pregnancy to protect the daughter's reputation.
But Palin's disclosure only prompted new waves of Web speculation: that the governor is a bad mother, that with two babies around she'd be too busy to serve as vice president, that she must have pressured her daughter not to simply have an abortion.

Heartland Payment Systems announced yesterday that they are taking a much more aggressive posture in response to last years breach of their systems for credit card processing. According to Computer World Heartland has developed an end to end encryption solution utilizing AES to protect card data transmitted to them from the merchants who use them for card processing. Computer World even suggests this is intriguing enough that Visa is interested in adopting it above and beyond the PCI/DSS standard that Visa has a major stake in defining.
As usual, I don't comment if I don't believe there are some problems with this situation. Don't get me wrong, I am very pleased that Heartland is stepping beyond the lowest common denominator and potentially forging a new path in securing consumers information in transit in the North American market. The concern I have is that this "multi-million dollar technology" they have developed is not subsidized to the merchant, creating a dual-tier system where only those with the highest margins can afford to adopt the technology. Additionally, this is only one part of the issue. In general, I do not believe the simple modem-based terminals many merchants use to communicate with Heartland are vulnerable in any serious way to begin with. The bigger issue is Visa, Mastercard, and the other credit card mafioso requiring communications between card processors like Heartland and their networks NOT be encrypted. Good on Heartland, albeit too late to protect those that have already been victimized. Hopefully this will inspire the industry to reconsider its checkered past, and do what we all assumed they already were doing.. The right thing.

J R R Tolkein
In art and life, noted C S Lewis, we are always trying to glean from successive moments something beyond those moments. Children who relish the opportunity to hear a story over and over again understand this, that it is the 'quality' of something unexpected, not the fact of it, which truly delights us. Like Tom hearing the clock strike thirteen (Tom's midnight garden), we know that such a point opens a window to something astonishing, something which deeply resonates with our 'sense of wonder' and meaning with regards to existence.
This week saw the release of some research into our reality that takes us 'beyond the moment'.
Andrew Sibley at the Uncommon Descent blog reports:
Researchers from Oxford's Centre for Anthropology and Mind have found evidence that children are predisposed to believe in God or a supreme being. This is because of a natural assumption that everything in the world exists for a purpose and was therefore created.
Dr Justin Barrett was reported in the UKs Daily Telegraph as saying that young children appear to have an inherent faith even when it has not been taught to them by family or school. Even children raised on a desert island without any external influence would start out with a belief in God.
Commenting on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme he said"The preponderance of scientific evidence for the past 10 years or so has shown that a lot more seems to be built into the natural development of children's minds than we once thought, including a predisposition to see the natural world as designed and purposeful and that some kind of intelligent being is behind that purpose…if we threw a handful on an island and they raised themselves I think they would believe in God."
We have lived through a time when there has indeed been much "surprise" - where the developing image of our universe is not of a place which chaos and chance have thrown together to remain remote and transient, where life is a mere spark that will simply die. Life, in all it's balance and complexity, is here by design - and it is the quality of this truth which urges us to return to the true source of life and wisdom, the one Paul describes as 'made plain' by what we know and understand (Romans 1).
Christmas is a time which invites us, like the children in a nativity play, to learn still more about the 'quality' of such a surprise - that the very wisdom and nature of God is not merely something remotely observed in our studies via microscope or telescope, or even something we all deeply recognize for our earliest days - it is a reality that was 'made flesh' amongst us in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The great 'story' that we are all a part of, is imbued with a marvelous reality - there is a conclusion to this saga that brings eternal purpose, if we but open our eyes and like a child, step into a deeper world.

Budget under review in Jay Twp.
In looking at this year's budget at Thursday's meeting of the Jay Twp. Board of Supervisors, board members expressed concern at the possibility that township expenses will exceed expected income due to a lull in tax revenue. Supervisor Jeremy Rippey reminded his fellow board members that a $50,000 CD in the township's general fund is available and could be used to compensate for the currently low levels of income. Supervisor Murray Lilley, who had previously expressed reluctance toward the prospect of withdrawing those funds, said that while it now appears to be an inevitability, the $50,000 may still fall short of covering township expenses. "My major concern in looking at this budget is what is left for this year. I don't see any way, shape, or form that you're not going to have to pull from that CD before the end of the year," Lilley said. "If you base the whole year on monies spent this year, you're coming out with around $43,500 a month and we're down to about $24,000 in the checking, so it's inevitable and it looks to me that even when we're doing this budget, unless there's a property windfall we're going to be about $30,000 shy by February, on top of the $50,000." Rippey also pointed to $54,750.28 in the form of state-funded insured money funds and $29,571.95 in general checking funds available to the board. "Yeah, but you're going to have $46,000 of that to be annexed yet," Lilley said. Lilley said that the township's average monthly expenses total $40,000 and that while they expect to gather around $10,000 in wage taxes, there will also be an expected $6,500 increase for costs associated with workmen's compensation.Board members discussed the possibility of additional means of revenue, such as the implementation of a one percent wage tax on out-of-state workers, but added that it could not be put to a vote until Nov. 20 or 23. .

I wish I could say that I was travelling back and forth from the US to source all of these latest American snacks, but reality is that it's those chaps at American Soda who are continually supplying me. Indeed today I bring you another set of mini-reviews of some of the latest snacks they've sent my way. Be sure to check out the American Soda site for yourselves! Remember they ship all across Europe!
Hershey's Cookies n Creme DropsKcal 300 Fat 16.0g Fat(sats) 10.0g Carbs 30.0g (per pack)
I have to admit I do have a nostalgia sourced soft spot for this Hershey's Cookies n Creme chocolate. For some reason or other it got adopted as one of the family favourites as we commonly bought it during our many trips to Disney World Florida in my childhood. Anything that reminds me of Disney World is always going to be welcome in my mind so perhaps consider taking my view of these with a large pinch of salt :D With that said I have to say these were pretty darn good. The ingredients list would rival most chemistry sets but there's just something about the sugary, dairy strong 'chocolate' that is really quite appealing when eaten in moderation - it reminds a bit of carnation milk. Impressively, the little bits of cookie were still as forthcoming as in the bar format, and the oreo type chocolateyness and crunch was a part of every individual drop. I wouldn't recommend anyone trying to consume a king sized pack in one sitting, but these are one of those chocolate packs that are nice to have around for a quick handful every now and then. I wouldn't stretch as far as saying these are highly superior to the bar format, but as a standalone product they are one of the better Hershey's products in my opinion.

Red Velvet Cupcake Bites
Kcal 180 Fat 9.0g Fat(sats) 8.0g Carbs 27.0g (per 40.0g)
I've been highly critical of rather a few Taste of Nature products previously so my expectations for these new Red Velvet Cupcake Bites were hardly what one would describe as sky high. After a little talk around from my AmericanSoda contact Ben however, he told me that these were the nicest ones he had tried from the range. After a recommendation like that I really couldn't turn them down so I gave these 'bite sized cupcake morsels in creamy red frosting' a try. Just like the previously reviewed Cookie Dough Bites (See HERE), these Red Velvet Cupcake Bites came in a 88.0g cardboard box with the pieces contained within a plastic packet. The thick red coloured coatings looked a little thick and waxy for my liking, however I found that they melted at a decent rate and they surprisingly established a pleasant white chocolate like milky taste. At the centre of each of these pieces, the crumbly soft innards created a convincing cake batter taste. Colour me surprised folks - these actually tasted of cupcakes! Whilst I wouldn't go as far as saying these were excellent in any way, I would stretch to giving them a single JCM thumbs up. If I was to recommend one from the TON range it would be these.

Lucky CharmsKcal 180 Fat 9.0g Fat(sats) 8.0g Carbs 27.0g (per 40.0g)
Ever since I reviewed my first cereal product here on ChocolateMission one of the most commonly received reader requests is for a review of General Mills's Lucky Charms cereal. Having reviewed the chocolate version a while back last year (See HERE), I decided that a few single serve portions would suffice so I asked Ben @AmericanSoda if I could have some of the 49.0g single bowl portions sent my way. Within days I was setting my usual porridge to one side and instead pouring my milk on these 'frosted toasted oat cereal with marshmallows'. As you can see from my photo one thing you can't accuse Lucky Charms of is not being is colourful. The marshmallows come in every colour you can think of - I'll let you decide whether that's a good thing or not what with all the colourings. I will keep this short and sweet (haha aren't I hilarious) as my conclusions are very much the same as they were about the chocolate variety. The taste is ridiculously sugary, yet the combination of the corn cereal and marshmallows have an alarming moreishness. Eaten on it's own the lightness of the cereal is a real turn off for me as I find it so non-fufiling. Added to another healthier, plainer tasting cereal however it becomes a charming (Ok I'll stop now haha!) addition. This cereal is one of those iconic American foods you should try if only to say you have. There is every chance you will become a fan of them.
