I have an application where I am doing a version of occlusion culling. The idea is that there is a room that is being rendered that can have any number of walls. The camera focus is on one particular wall. A CC3Ray is created that starts at the camera global position and is in the forward direction of the wall that we want to render. I had previously used a method that any additional walls that the ray punctured would be hidden if they were not the intended viewing wall. This worked fine in cocos3d version 0.7.1 but now that I have upgraded to version 2.0.2 the CC3NodePuncturingVisitor always has nil punctured nodes. Both of these methods are in the scene itself.
* Each CC3Node inside wallsInFrontOfCamera is potentially in the way of the wallWithFocus or what we want to actually see in the viewport
* This method checks to see what walls need to be invisible so that we can see what is supposed to be in focus. If a wall needs to be hidden
* it will be added to invisibleWalls
@param wallsInFrontOfCamera the walls that are in front of the camera
@param wallWithFocus the wall the camera is focused on
-(void)hideWallsFromView:(CC3NodePuncturingVisitor *)wallsInFrontOfCamera focalPoint:(CC3Node *)wallWithFocus {
// cameraView.shouldPunctureInvisibleNodes = YES;
NSUInteger numberOfPotentialWallsInFrontOfCamera = [wallsInFrontOfCamera nodeCount];
CC3Node * wallPlaneMesh = [wallWithFocus getNodeTagged:kWallPlaneMeshNodeTag];
CCLOG(@"Nodes Punctured: %i",numberOfPotentialWallsInFrontOfCamera);
int i=0;
if (numberOfPotentialWallsInFrontOfCamera > 0){
while (i<= numberOfPotentialWallsInFrontOfCamera -1) {
if ([wallPlaneMesh isEqual:[wallsInFrontOfCamera puncturedNodeAt:i]]) {
NSMutableString * output = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat:@"Hidden Walls: %lu",(unsigned long)[invisibleWalls count]];
for (CC3Node * node in invisibleWalls){
[output appendFormat:@"\n Wall: %@",node.description];
CCLOG(@"Number of Lights: %i / %i",[[self lights]count], [CC3OpenGLES11Engine engine].platform.maxLights.value);
else {
CC3Node * wallInQuestion = [wallsInFrontOfCamera puncturedNodeAt:i].parent;
[wallInQuestion setShouldCastShadowsWhenInvisible:NO];
[wallInQuestion setVisible:NO];
// [wallInQuestion setOpacity:0];
[invisibleWalls addObject:wallInQuestion];
CCLOG(@"Node punctured is: %@",wallInQuestion.description);
inside switchCameraTarget method:
CC3NodePuncturingVisitor * nodesPunctured = [self nodesIntersectedByGlobalRay:CC3RayFromLocDir(camera.globalLocation,camera.globalForwardDirection)];
[self hideWallsFromView:nodesPunctured focalPoint:wallNodePlane];
Upon further digging into this, it seems that the cc3Node that I create to contain the wall, the wall texture, and the components on that wall, the plane created to show the wall texture has a nil boundingVolume.
-(CC3Node*) createPlaneWithLocation: (CC3Vector)positionVector withSize:(CGSize)size name:(NSString *)nodeName
// standard stored preference values
NSUserDefaults* defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
BOOL outputWallLabels = [defaults boolForKey:@"wall_labels_3d_toggle"];
CC3Node *plane = [CC3Node nodeWithName:nodeName];
plane.location = positionVector;
CC3Texture *texture = [CC3Texture textureFromFile:@"wallbg.png"];
CC3MeshNode *frontMesh = [CC3PlaneNode nodeWithTag:kWallPlaneMeshNodeTag withName:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Mesh for Wall:%@",nodeName]];
CGPoint relOrigin = ccp(0 / size.width, 0 / size.height);
[frontMesh populateAsRectangleWithSize: size andRelativeOrigin: relOrigin];
frontMesh.shouldCullBackFaces = NO;
frontMesh.texture = texture;
if (outputWallLabels){
CCLabelTTF * wallLabel = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:nodeName fontName:@"Arial" fontSize:12];
CC3Billboard * wallBB = [CC3Billboard nodeWithBillboard:wallLabel];
wallBB.scale = cc3v(0.01f, 0.01f, 0.01f);
wallBB.location = cc3v(.5f, 2.35f, .001f);
wallBB.color = [CCColor blackColor];
[frontMesh addChild:wallBB];
[plane addChild:frontMesh];
return plane;
How do I get the boundingVolume of either the frontMesh (the wall plane) or the entire boundingVolume of the cc3Node to be non nil?
I was able to solve this by adding
[plane createBoundingVolume]
Which added boundingVolumes to the frontMesh.
I also had to edit the hideWalls logic to verify that the frontMesh was not the intended target then hide the parent of the mesh and add it into the invisibleWalls array.

Lightweight and easy to install, the Basic Wall Mount Computer Station provides a functional sit or stand computer station wherever space is at a premium. Able to be mounted to almost any flat surface, the steel Basic Wall Mount Computer Station comes complete with one non-adjustable VESA monitor arm and a fixed keyboard tray.
Designed to save space, the 24"x8" keyboard tray extends to 12" away from the wall when in use. Coated with a scratch-proof finish and available in Warm Gray or Black River, this compact Computer Station is an ideal option for children's bedrooms, medical offices, warehouses, classrooms, and commercial kiosks. Note: the Wall Mount CPU Holder is sold separately.
Because you can literally mount your CPU inches from the monitor, no more cables and cords snaking across the floor or down the wall to the computer. Keep everything within arm's reach.
Whether you plan to use the computer seated or standing, the option is yours. Mount your computer at the height that best fits your unique needs.
VersaTables was founded over ten years ago on the basic principle of producing high-quality products at a great price.Lifetime Warranty
this is a good mount and takes so little space. It is a great space saver and looks good too. It came in just a few days like they promised and I was generally happy with the product and the service.
The distance between the keyboard tray and the LCD mount is too short. It forces the user uncomfortably close to the fairly common 19"WS LCD we employ. An adjustable sleeve on the keyboard arm is what I am in the process of fabricating now. Should be an easy fix. You should consider it.
Add some options for wire managment add ons to certain computer install mounting items. Should be less expensive than sending an employee to Home Depot and buying more quantity than needed. An example of this would be 6 feet of black loom and and some vinyl ties; or maybe a few fancy double stick tape thingy's with clips? If the option was available for an additional $10 or $12 bucks I would have added them to the order for sure. Other than this I can't think of anything. Thanks
You should offer a 1.25 inch spacer plate that goes between the base and the LCD monitor if attaching a All-in-one or tother device like mine that needed the space for cable connections. I made the spacers for my application.
I received item #BWMCS-B on 3-11-11. It seems to be a quality product. I discovered that it does not have a tilt mount for the monitor as described and illustrated on your website. I needed that feature because I am taller than everyone else that will use that monitor station. I called and spoke with Rick at your company and he said he would work on a solution and follow up by e-mail, and that has not happened. I now have to spend another $40 to purchase a tilt mount to place on your product.
Instructions included were for the wrong wall mount stand. Installation was so simple it did not matter.
The keyboard tray on the basic model could use a little extra length (on the right side for right-handed people) to make more room to use both a mouse and an ergonomic keyboard. (If I were using a small keyboard it would probably have enough space). Using my existing keyboard, I have to push it slightly too far to the left to make room for the mouse, so I am typing off center. In general, this is a very well made and well built product. I have used it to make myself a standing work station, with a stepper parked underneath for a little exercise.
The product is solid, heavy duty, good construction, works great functionally. The only thing I can say is I ordered "off white" and the color is actually a sort of non-flattering institutional greenish grey. If the color was better represented on the website I would have chosen black instead. I would suggest having a pure white option, as most photo studios tend to have bright white walls. Otherwise its a great product for the photo studio and was impressed how well constructed it was.

We boiled it down (to nine actors) now we want to see what the fans have to say.
St. George, UT (PRWEB) December 17, 2011
The Runelords movie is getting ready to do a casting call for actors. The choices for the starring roles have been narrowed down to nine candidates and the decision is being taken to vote in the public forum. Those nominated are Katrina Kaif, Aishwarya Rai, Brad Pitt, Zak Efron, Deepika Padukone, Bruce Willis, Russell Crowe, Hayden Christensen and Kellan Lutz. All fans are invited to vote for their favorites. Voting ends January 31,2012. Results will be tabulated at that time by David Farland Enterprises and The Runlords Movie Group.
The Runelords, a New York Times bestselling fantasy series written by David Farland, ten years in the making, is being prepared to be made into a major motion picture. A number of studios have jockeyed for position, capitol investors are lining up and a great deal of their decisions rest upon who will direct the film and that in part will depend upon who the actors will be.
Actors for the starring roles are being selected as one of the first steps to preparing to make the movie. Nine stars have been nominated for three roles. David Farland Enterprises has elected to allow fans to vote on which stars should be used, by public poll. All are invited to go to http://runelordsmovie.com/community/polls/ and vote for their favorite actors and actresses.
Author David Farland says, "Deciding who to nominate was tough. For wise King Orden we need a middle aged actor who looks like he has a head for strategy and can be a tough guy. He's in for the fight of his life. We finally narrowed it down to Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis or Russell Crowe. The part of Iome, the outrageously beautiful princess, has to have a slightly oriental look. We struggled with some tough choices and came up with Katrina Kaif, Aishwarya Rai, or Deepika Padukone. Finally there was the part of Prince Gaborn, a strong young idealist that falls head-over-heels in love with Princess Iome. He is a warrior, so he has to be lean and he's going to get some magical treatments that are created by brands on his body. So he basically has to look good with his shirt off. There we boiled it down to Zak Efron, Hayden Christensen or Kellan Lutz. Now we want to see what the fans have to say."
To vote for an actor, go to http://runelordsmovie.com/community/polls/.

MEDINA, Ohio The prosecutor investigating Medina County Auditor Michael Kovack's office is looking at an allegation that Kovack had his tenants come to his county office to pay their rent.
Erie County Prosecutor Kevin Baxter confirmed that detail about the investigation, which began in March when one of Kovack's employees gave internal documents and computer files to the county prosecutor's office. Prosecutor Dean Holman turned the case over to Baxter, who said last week that his investigation of "financial appropriations" continues. He is consulting with the state auditor's office, he said.
Kovack, who is up for re-election in November, calls the allegations ridiculous and political. He, Holman and Baxter are Democrats. The three county commissioners -- who have urged that the matter be investigated further and that the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation be called in -- are Republicans.
Commissioner Pat Geissman on Wednesday sent a disk from Kovack's county computer to the Ohio Ethics Commission after she spoke to one of the commission investigators. In an accompanying letter (see it in the document viewer below) , Geissman said the disk contains information about Kovack running his rental business from his office.
"I've been told that his employees will confirm, if asked, that renters come in to make their payment and ask for a receipt which they are given. With this disk, you now have everything that was brought to the commissioners' attention."
Shown a copy of the letter, Baxter said, "that is one of the matters under review."
The commissioners had previously supplied documents to the Ethics Commission that they obtained from one of Kovack's employees in late June. Geissman said that she then had a conversation with ethics commission investigator Nancy Smith, who asked for the computer disk that contains the documents.
Responding to Geissman's letter, Kovack said: This has now reached the height of ridiculousness. To insinuate I'm running a real estate business out of my office based on this is disgusting. I sat in a meeting with Pat the day she wrote this letter, where she praised me and my office for the work we've done, yet never said a thing about this to me. The fact that were three months from an election pretty much tells you what this is about.
Geissman responded, "This is not about politics."
The Ohio Ethics Commission will not confirm, deny or discuss an open investigation, but spokeswoman Susan Willeke said, "state law prohibits an elected official from using public time, resources or facilities for personal business."
She pointed to an ethics commission advisory opinion that states, "A public agency provides resources to its officials and employees for the performance of these tasks and not for the official's or employee's personal financial gain or benefit."

Ever wonder what a teen gymnast could want to do besides win gold medals at the Olympics? Why, meet Kate Middleton, of course. Fortunately for Team USA, the young ladies on the gymnastics team managed to tick both of these things off their wish lists in the space of a few days.
After watching the "Fab Five" compete yesterday, Kate decided that a congratulations was in order and walked right up to the team. Even though we were dying for a Kate Middleton-Gabby Douglas meet and greet, the gold-medal winner didn't seem to tweet any specifics about the meeting like her teammates did. We can't be 100 percent sure what they discussed, but judging by the gymnasts' tweets, fashion was the natural topic of conversation. Aly Raisman was definitely a fan of the duchess' wardrobe, tweeting:
Just met princess Kate with
@jordyn_wieber @kyla_ross96 & @gabrielledoug she is so beautiful & so nice! I told her I loved her style lol :)
— Alexandra Raisman (@Aly_Raisman) August 5, 2012
Jordyn Wieber couldn't believe her luck either, tweeting:
Can't believe I just met Princess Kate Middleton! She was in the crowd at the competition and she stood up to talk to us!
— Jordyn Wieber (@jordyn_wieber) August 5, 2012
Yesterday we met the Duchess, Kate Middleton! She was so nice and she told us she loved our leotards!instagr.am/p/N_u73yPVoN/
— Jordyn Wieber (@jordyn_wieber) August 6, 2012
Even though the girls seemed pretty stoked to gush about their meeting with the Duchess of Cambridge, we have a feeling Kate would've used the same "honored" hash tag to describe how in awe she was to meet the Team USA gymnasts (if she maintained a Twitter account, that is).
Check out the Jordyn Wieber's Instagram of her team's royal introduction. Who would you be more honored to meet: Kate Middleton or the Team USA gymnasts?
Check out Kate Middleton's Team USA-approved style!

Minnesota native Tippi Hedren says she still remembers getting off the streetcar in downtown Minneapolis and getting a gig to work as a clothing model at Donaldson's Department Store.
Clearly a few things have changed in the last 50-plus years since Hedren, original from New Ulm, called the Twin Cities her stomping grounds. Her high school alma mater, in fact, is no longer, which can't be a very fresh feeling.
And yet, she was radiant and in winningly humble spirit in front of a packed-to-the-rafters Heights Theater Thursday evening, warmly greeted by "my own people."
The occasion? A screening of Hedren's most challenging collaboration with suspense titan Alfred Hitchcock, part of a multi-city traveling "retrospective" in prelude to Turner Classic Movies and DirecTV's film festival in Los Angeles next month.
When I say "most challenging," I'm guessing you think I'm talking about The Birds, which was Hedren's debut feature film and required a week-long shoot to film that terrifying bird attack in the attic.
Indeed, Hedren spent much of the time before Thursday's screening talking about how she came to be discovered by Hitchcock (who saw her in a TV commercial) and how he offered her the star unveiling most other actors could only dream about.
But if you're looking at the emotional requirements of the role, I think you'd be hard pressed to argue that Hedren didn't deliver a far more shaded, more complex performance in Hitchcock's 1964 follow-up to The Birds.
Marnie, which was called "unusual" and "ahead of its time" by special guest Leonard Maltin (who served as Q&A M.C. at the Heights), is unquestionably both those things, but I would not be at all surprised to find evidence that it was also one of his most personal projects.
If Vertigo is the movie that lays Hitchcock's sexual obsessions bare, Marnie is its frigid companion piece, right down to the heroine dying her brunette hair blonde (or vice-versa).
Hedren plays a kleptomaniac who targets bank safes and then funnels much of the money from her exploits back toward her love-deprivational mother. But her series of schemes comes to a major roadblock when she attracts some unwanted but smoldering attention from the head of her next intended bank.
Since the man pursuing her was played by none other than Sean Connery — then at the very height of James Bond mania — Hedren recalls saying to "Hitch" that she was pretty sure she wouldn't be able to convey her character's frigidity against him.
Hitchcock's immortal retort: "It's called acting."
Marnie is in some ways like a feature-length version of the last scene in Psycho, the one where a bunch of men in suits explain, at great length, the complicated relationship between Norman Bates and his mother. Marnie is the question mark at the center of her own movie, and both Connery and Hitchcock spend an awful lot of time unpacking her neuroses. Its open Freudianism may seem a little kitschy now, but it still reads a lot more modern than Psycho's puzzled cops learning, apparently for the first time, what the difference is between cross-dressing and transvestitism. And any humor to be derived from the proceedings mostly come from screenwriter Jay Presson Allen's suggestive double entendres (i.e. "I'm queer for liars").
With only one or two moments that could be called classic Hitchcock suspense sequences (foremost among them Marnie's attempt to pull off the latest bank job) and, of course, the necessary lack of chemistry between the two leads, Marnie has never been one of Hitchcock's most beloved movies, and Hedren said she still remembers being stung by the reviews it got.
"It was really kind of heartbreaking," she told the crowd at the Heights.
But, as Maltin suggested, the sexually frank movie remains ripe for reevaluation, and the crowd that massed for Hedren's return to the cities seemed more than game for the attempt.

|St. Martha
But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her,
"Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things."
– Luke 10:41
Today is the feast day of St. Martha.
There aren't a lot of people that look up to St. Martha and say "I want to be like her." But Martha was loved by Jesus. He says, "Martha, Martha". Who wouldn't want themselves to be mentioned by Jesus in the Scriptures -- not once, but twice. It shows the great love that Jesus had for Martha.
He corrects her, but in the softest, sweetest and most tender way possible. She is one of the sheep of his flock and he gently guides her with his staff. She is like a precious little lamb that has wandered slightly to nibble on some grass and is in danger of being left behind.
We don't recognize ourselves in Martha, but we should. She is the faithful Catholic that attends Mass every week; that prays her Rosary every day. And kneels before the Eucharist in silent adoration.
She may not always understand why she does these things. Others may accuse her of superstition because she is unable to explain her devotion. Hers is a blind faith, done out of a sense of obedience.
With what heroic fortitude does she persist in her devotions; never doubting, never questioning. Calling on those around her to follow her example and pray the Rosary daily; totally committed in her allegiance to the Pope. So much so that she cannot be swayed or distracted by the rumors, gossip and scandals in the Church.
Others may say that she clings to her religion. Jesus calls to her gently, "Martha, Martha..."
Martha carries on dutifully.
Martha is the heroic faithful who never waver in their devotion to Jesus and their obedience to the Church. They may not have the gift of a burning fire of faith like a St. Peter or her sister Mary; their gift is a faith formed from obedience and perseverance. They trust in the Lord even as they are led along a path which for them is dark and empty. They are His sheep; He is their Shepherd. They are His servants; He is their Lord and Master.
Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."
Blessed are all who take refuge in him. (Psalm 2:12)
Blessed are all those who wait for him. (Isaiah 30:18)
Blessed are those who are alive and keep thy commandments! (4 Ezra 7:45)
How blessed are those who love you! (Tobit 13:14)
Blessed are those who saw you. (Sirach 48:11)
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. (Luke 12:37)
Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:9)
Martha quietly says to us, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you." (John 11:28)
And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it." (Isaiah 30:20-21)[Lectio Divina: The prophet Isaiah seems to be speaking to us through Martha here. She struggles with adversity as we all do in our daily lives. Then the Teacher appears. Martha is one of the fortunate few who saw Jesus with her own eyes. We can see Him through her witness. He appears as a man to her; as a friend. But also as the Teacher and the Son of God. He guides his sheep -- Martha and us -- with his gentle but firm words saying "Martha, Martha.... this is the way."]
See also:
Below I have expanded some of the Biblical quotations from above to show how the Old and the New Testament blend together so perfectly. There is a Divine Plan. You can see immediately how the blessings show us a path to our heavenly destination. (Also, I discovered that the name Martha in Hebrew is the feminine equivalent of Lord. So she would be a Lady, in the sense of a wife of a Lord. Jesus is her Lord and she has taken a solemn wedding vow to dutifully obey His every command.)
Kiss his feet,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way;
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
(Psalm 2:12)
[Remember how Mary Magdalene kissed the feet of our Lord.]
Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you;
therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the LORD is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him.
(Isaiah 30:18)
[The LORD is merciful. The extent to which the Prophet Isaiah foretells the coming birth of Jesus Christ the Messiah is truly amazing.]
How blessed are those who love you!
They will rejoice in your peace.
Blessed are those who grieved over all your afflictions;
for they will rejoice for you upon seeing all your glory,
and they will be made glad for ever.
(Tobit 13:14)
[How can anyone read this and not be reminded of Christ's Passion and Resurrection.]
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes; truly, I say to you, he will gird himself and have them sit at table, and he will come and serve them.
(Luke 12:37)
[Christ reveals that at the Second Coming there will be like a reenactment of the Last Supper when He washes the Apostle's feet. Will He greet each soul into Heaven this way? Rather than Martha serving Him, He will serve Martha.]
"Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to be clothed with fine linen, bright and pure" -- for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb." And he said to me, "These are true words of God."
(Revelation 19:7-9)
[The angel reveals more about the Second Coming. Again the imagery is like the Last Supper, but now it is clearly revealed to be a wedding feast. The Bride appears to be the Church; or at least the Saints of the Church.]

Mrs. Sivage, of Chicago and Oconomowoc, Wis., was the widow of Gerald A. Sivage, president of Marshall Field & Co. from 1964 to 1974. She received a bachelor's degree in clinical psychology from the University of Michigan and had a keen interest in history. Her curiosity in American history spurred her to work with the Colonial Dames and groups such as the Antiquarian Society, family members said. Mrs. Sivage served on numerous civic and charitable boards, including those of Children's Memorial Hospital and the Field Museum. Survivors include two daughters, Suzanne Borland and Elizabeth Clark. A memorial service was held.

As far as mortgages are concerned - let's get one thing straight...be ready to look in the "nooks and crannies". Be ready to provide information, then more information and then more information. We all could stick our head in the sand and proverbially ride out the scrutiny with which files are under...but that wouldn't serve the mortgage industry or you - our clients. The truth is that getting a mortgage can sometimes feel like we are searching through your own "nooks and crannies" just to be able to own a home. And while you - our clients may feel this way, we must work together so that you understand that it really is in your best interest.
Why? Because...
- We don't want the most important transaction that a person may ever make be one that causes them undue stress or harm.
- We don't want the client to live in a home and then not be able to feed or provide for their families.
- We don't want the client to cringe every time they write the check or have it auto-drafted from their accounts.
- We don't want the client to regret the home they purchased to protect their family.
Statistics show that owning a home contributes to higher self worth in the homeowner. It does this because it's stable, predictable and comforting to have a place called "home". As a lender, we aren't in the business of searching through your "nooks and crannies" because we have some vendetta against you. We aren't taking detailed information in order to make you feel as though you aren't telling us the truth. We are simply in the business of ensuring the success of your mortgage and home purchase.
- We want our clients to take pride in the fact that they can pay for their home and provide for their families.
- We want our clients to be clients for life, because they know that we looked out for them throughout the entire process.
- We want our clients to rest easy that this purchase is the best decision for them at the time they make it.
Make sure you have a lender that knows what's on the line and takes care of you and your needs with great caution. You deserve it!

Adam Solander Quoted in "3 Things Employers Need to Know About Halbig, Fourth Circuit Court Rulings on Obamacare Subsidies"Washington Business Journal July 22, 2014
Adam Solander, an Associate in the Health Care and Life Sciences practice, in the Washington, DC office, was quoted in an article titled "3 Things Employers Need to Know About Halbig, Fourth Circuit Court Rulings on Obamacare Subsidies."
Following is an excerpt:
With dueling federal court decisions released Tuesday on just who's able to get federal subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, experts say they've been fielding plenty of questions on what this all will mean for employers. Here are three things employers in the District, Virginia and Maryland should know about the rulings: 1. This could invalidate employer mandate in states like Virginia. Why is this creating such a stir among employers? Because for those in states without a state-run exchange — like Virginia — this decision could ultimately invalidate penalties triggered against employers when full-time employees purchase coverage through public exchanges and qualify for subsidies, said Adam Solander, a D.C. health care group expert for law firm Epstein Becker Green.
This article was also published in the Orlando Business Journal.

Police charity run for PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes
Police officers around the country have started a 125-day running challenge in memory of two colleagues murdered by Dale Cregan in Greater Manchester.
PCs Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, were shot dead when lured to a fake burglary in Hattersley last year.
PC Hughes's parents have launched the Run To Remember campaign to raise money for the PC Nicola Hughes Memorial Fund.
Officers from forces around the country will aim to clock up 250 miles (400km) between now and April.
Earlier PC Hughes's father, Bryn Hughes, from Huddersfield, led runners from Greater Manchester Police at the start of their running challenge at Dovestone Reservoir in Saddleworth.
His wife Natalie led a team of runners made up of officers from across Yorkshire.
She said: "Your world falls apart in a split second and as a family we needed something positive to focus on.
"The fundraising we've done and establishing the charity has given us a reason to get up everyday."
Other forces taking part include Cheshire, Merseyside, Guildford, Kidlington, Avon and Somerset.
In April next year, Mr Hughes is also due to take part in the North Pole Marathon.
Dale Cregan, 30, was given a whole-life sentence in June for the murders of the two officers.
He was also jailed for the murders of father and son David and Mark Short.

British free music streaming service We7 has announced that its broken the 2 million users mark over the last month.
Interestingly, although the site matches up-start rival Spotify's million users as far as actual We7 site users go, that second mill is made up of users through We7's "play anywhere" strategy.
This allows music to be shared online via emails, blogs, social networking sites and media partners, including NME, The Sun, The Mirror, Glamour.com, without the need for software installation.
"Going through these growth barriers is an outstanding reflection of the quality of the We7 service and the desire by the consumer to access and share good music in a legal way", Steve Purdham, CEO of We7 says.
"One of the most exciting developments is that consumer engagement is outstanding with average visit time to We7.com being over 30 minutes which provides an outstanding framework for brands to engage and interact with our audience".

Interactive Art
In the fall of 2014, GSA dedicated its first exterior sculpture at the 624-acre Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colo., by internationally recognized artist Andrea Zittel (non-goverment website). This is the first work of art by Zittel in Colorado.
The art was commissioned through GSA's Art in Architecture Program, which allocates one-half of one percent of the budget for new construction or major modernization projects for art. The public can view and interact with the sculpture weekdays from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Visit the Denver Federal Center page for more details. A short video about the art is available below.
The sculpture consists of eight identical "platform pavilions" that are 12 feet by 16 feet in size. Each pavilion consists of both vertical and horizontal panels, forming an area that evokes an open room, and a wooden surface that suggests a wrap-around deck. Zittel's group of structures functions as both abstract sculpture as well as a flexible, modular environment that can be used in various ways, including casual social gatherings or places to sit, relax and view the surrounding landscape. The structures make subtle references to architecture, and provide opportunities for both privacy and social engagement.
Andrea Zittel was selected through GSA's Art In Architecture program. The selection panel was looking for a unique approach to creating social spaces. They wanted an artist who could help activate and engage the campus, its employees and patrons in a new and artistic way. While Zittel is not a local artist, she used local businesses for purchasing materials, such as the concrete, wood, and metal.

The neighboring South Dade towns of Perrine, Goulds and Richmond Heights hold a fascinating place in Miami's history. They tell the tale of pioneer homesteaders developing the land for agriculture, transportation and entrepreneurial pursuits at the turn of the century.
Both Goulds and Perrine flourished during the early days of Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway, while the story of Richmond Heights picks up later in American history after World War II. It was developed as a community for African American veterans by Captain Frank C. Martin. Martin was inspired by the men he served with during the war and their need for quality affordable housing during the Jim Crow era.
Today, these areas are ripe for exploration. To get a glimpse into South Dade's pioneering history visit Cauley Square Historic Railroad Village, which was restored and reconstructed as a charming railroad town square. Here, you can visit antique shops, art galleries, restaurants and a saloon all shaded by South Dade's lush canopy of trees. The area is also home to sprawling farmland where you can pick your own strawberries at Burr's Berry Farm or learn about agricultural life at the Little Farm. There's an entire world to discover when you pass through Perrine, Goulds and Richmond Heights. Take your time and soak it all in.
Discover South Dade's heartland picking strawberries at Burr's Berry Farm.
From an aviary to a florist, antique shops and art galleries, a visit to Cauley Square is a must!
Farm living like you wouldn't believe in Miami! A trip to the Little Farm is fun for the whole family.

Digging in the depths, digging, digging.
Keep going, it's very deep
and hot. Hot as lava.
Digging down, seeing red.
Magma comes up like bile.
I want it to end.
Repeating, repeating the old habits.
Seeing you over and over again.
Forgetting you over and over again.
Remember it is me. I remember it is
all me and all mine.
This blows my mind.
How easy to look in a mirror
and hate what I see.
To hate me.
But I do remember me. I remember.
This, too, blows my mind.

Taoiseach must immediately clarify future of maternity services in North West
Mayo Deputy Dara Calleary has called on the Taoiseach to immediately clarify reports
that maternity services could be removed from Mayo General Hospital, Sligo
General Hospital and Roscommon County Hospital.
A review of maternity services in the West/North West Hospital Group is reported
to call for a rationalisation of maternity services in the region, resulting in
the closure of three maternity units. All maternity services in the region
would be provided by just two hospitals – University Hospital Galway and
Letterkenny General Hospital.
"This news is causing great shock and distress right across the region. The notion
that expectant mothers would have to travel from Mayo to Galway for maternity
services is simply outrageous. People deserve clarification now on what exactly
is going on here," said Deputy Calleary.
"I want the Taoiseach to immediately give assurances that there is no threat to
maternity services at Mayo General Hospital. I want him to give assurances that
there will be no sweeping cuts to maternity services in the West/North West
region. We need clarification now on what exactly the Government planning here
and what impact it will have on maternity patients in this region.
"I will be raising this in the Dáil this afternoon. What is being reported today
has potentially serious consequences for young families right across the West /
North West region. They deserve answers from the Taoiseach and the Minister for
Health right now."

Condition: Standard
DustJacket: Standard
All Product Details
During the Vietnam era, many of the U.S. Navy SEALs (SEa, Air, Land commandos) never filed for a Purple Heart unless they were severely wounded. Thomas H. Keith, Master Chief, SEAL Team 2, is living proof. He carries a piece of shrapnel behind one lung, a reminder of the day he called in 40 mm mortar fire on the enemy that was trying to catch up to his crew as the crew hauled ass out of the bush. Not only did he never report it, it was never removed---it just wasnt serious enough.
SEAL Warrior is the vivid, gritty, transporting memoir of a man destined for combat, a third-generation soldier for whom serving his country was not only an honor, it was tradition. While his grandfathers fought in France, and his fathers position as a U.S. Navy Chief took him all around the world, Tom Keith fought his first war in the jungles of Vietnam.
Fighting a guerilla war on foreign soil for the first time in American history, the SEALS found that there were no front lines; the enemy was an integral part of the entire society. This atypical form of warfare demanded that new tactics, new strategic applications of force, and a new understanding of a complex social and cultural enmity be found.
SEAL Warrior goes beyond the horror and bravado of battle to offer a deeper insight into the ways in which the SEALs fought, learned, reacted, and expanded their understanding of guerilla warfare during the Vietnam War. Its also a personal, riveting account of how one young American survived, and, over time, grew to trust and revere many of those who once had been his enemy.
With America again deeply involved in guerilla warfare, there is no better time to honor the unique abilities, understanding, and courage of these warriors who sacrificed it all to fight for nothing less than peace.
Praise for Thomas H. Keith and SEAL Warrior
"The author delivers a superb, nuts-and-bolts account of the weapons, gear, preparation, and tactics his unit employed; he includes frustrations along with triumphs. . . . This is an excellent chronicle of superbly skilled warriors at work." —Publishers Weekly
"We are fortunate that America still has volunteers like Thomas Keith willing to venture into harms way to do what used to be called their duty." —The Washington Times
"Master Chief Thomas Keith . . . has written what is considered by many to be the greatest memoir ever written by a Navy SEAL . . . [It] reads like an epic novel and a warfare manual at the same time." —USNavySEALS.com
Praise for Thomas H. Keith, Master Chief, SEAL Team 2, USN (Ret.)
"Tom Keith was, in a phrase, a phenomenon of understatement and overachievement. He was the 'go-to guy within the East Coast SEAL community, and he continues to be 'gone to wherever he hangs his hat or docks his boat. Tom Keith is the man I wish I were." --Larry Bailey, Captain, USN (Ret.)
"It is a very special breed that can work and function effectively in the most dangerous environments on the planet. Three tours in Vietnam and many other locations around the globe, including Afghanistan and Iraq, and being held in the highest esteem by the guys that were his brothers in arms more than qualifies him as a national hero. It is my privilege to call Tom Keith my friend." --Steve Schwarzer, master bladesmith
"From his first day in training until his retirement, Tom Keith always put the team first. As a warrior there were a few men that were his equal, but none that worked harder. Tom always let his actions speak for him, and his actions, on and off the field of battle, spoke volumes. Tom never gave anything less than his best, and his best was as good as it gets." --Rudy Boesch, Command Master Chief, USN (Ret.)
"It has been my pleasure to know and have associated with Thomas Keith for well over forty years. He has been a good friend and steadfast teammate. I say, in his case, 'still water runs very deep. His quiet, calm demeanor works well for him. He participated in and led many dangerous diving missions from Underwater Demolitions Team 21. He did three action-packed six-month SEAL tours in the Rung Sat, Vietnam. He spent perilous years in Afghanistan and Iraq fighting for their freedom. As always, he is the strong leader who commands the utmost respect. As always, he receives admiration while smiling in the face of adversity. As always, hes the consummate warrior committed to doing the impossible. And, as always, he is quite a professional." --Tom Blais, Command Master Chief, USN (Ret.)
With the depth and honesty of Steel My Soldiers Hearts, Seal Warrior sheds light on the operations of the SEAL Teams in Vietnam, and how the SEALs laid the foundation for modern guerilla warfare in use today. It also documents how one young American survived, fought, and grew to honor and trust many who once had been his enemy.
With America again involved in guerilla warfare, Seal Warrior honors the unique abilities, understanding, courage, and insight of these warriors who hope and fight for nothing less than peace.
THOMAS H. KEITH retired as a Command Master Chief with 31 years service in the U.S. Navy, twenty nine years with the Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams and Seal Team Two. During his three tours of duty in the Republic of Vietnam with Seal Team Two, he received two Purple Hearts, three Bronze Stars with combat V for valor, two Navy Commendation medals with combat V for valor, one Navy Achievement metal with combat V for valor, two Presidential Unit Citations and two Navy Unit Citations among his many awards. He devoted 29 years of service to Naval Special Warfare and is still involved in active special operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as a civilian contractor.
J. TERRY RIEBLING has been a shooter and hunter for over forty years and a competitive shooter for over twenty years. He is the winner of the Erskine Caldwell Award in Short Fiction and the author of "Sniper's Eyes." His articles have appeared in numerous firearms and hunting publications.

Nothing to post from my pen from over the holidays but I have come across a site, Poem Hunter.com which publishes collections of poems by some very well known poets, not sure of how they work exactly but it is free to download thousands of poems in collections by author/poet.
It is an educational site and has the following nnote about copyright:
PoemHunter.Com is a non-profit site. Poems are published on this site
purely for educational reasons, for the purpose of information and with
good intentions. If the legal representatives ask us to remove a poem
from the site, this will be done immediately. We guarantee to fulfill
such demands within 48 hours. (PoemHunter.Com reserves the right to
investigate whether the person submitting that demand is authorized to
do so or not.)
I know that I read lots of poetry both classical and new, I think this will be a wonderful resource to make a note of. They do seem to make it difficult to copy poems from the e-books (I am not very tech savvy) so I cannot post a few snippets/samples of the poetry as I had intended. I can see how by printing and re-scanning/etc it would be possible but the effort would probably not be worthwhile. You will have to visit the site yourself and download your own e-books.
I shall certainly enjoy reading some of the poems and adding to my own poor skill set by the examples set by the poets whose work is being made available.
The works available as downloads run from Shakespeare to Wordsworth to Frost to Spike Milligan; you can see that there is a very exhaustive data base.

More fragments, still struggling with new poems
It has been a while, I was hoping to have been able to justify a new post with a new poem but it is not to be. As before in my last few posts therefore I am simply going to leave you with a couple of other snippets or fragments which I have been working on. I am also intending to include one or two images so that when I come back to these I will perhaps be able to carry on where I left off.
Summer is over, now Autumn rules
and the wind blows cold
time to wrap-up, dig out warmer clothes.
Blue skies darken, grey clouds scudding by
bringing rain and bringing floods.
Like a spoilt child the wind will rage
showing ever changing moods.
Each day I think of you
I think of how to please you
I think I do not know you
Because I always fail
You turn my thoughts away
You turn the tide each day
I can never find an appropriate way
To turn my thoughts to action
There's always some complaint
That seems a cause to rant
And rave, that boils my blood
And buries sweeter thoughts of love
I am thinking that the fragments are becoming poorer in content and as poetry. I am fast losing confidence in my ability, was it just a flash in the pan; those couple of dozen poems which I created before the turn of the summer. I just wish that I could find the creative spark which I thought I had triggered. I am not claiming that those poems were classics but I was proud of them and believed that I could get better. Unfortunately in trying harder to improve I seem to have lost my way. And I am getting to be a bore on the subject.
I have been reading books, magazines and blogs and can't help wondering if I am trying too hard. Am I being put off by what I am reading? This is why I would like to give a link to a blog which includes a short poem written to a prompt. Maybe this has something to teach me? I know lots of sources of prompts for writing and for poetry, maybe I should try this and simply open my mind and let go, not worrying about the length of the poem but just creating a fragment for its own sake. If I can start to believe in myself again maybe the longer and "better" poems will start to flow again.
The blog is by Peggy Goetz and is called ON A DAY LIKE TODAY. Two poems I liked particularly from the latest posts were December Afternoon and Words Matter. I shall be reading a few more poems by Peggy and hoping for some inspiration. Wish me luck.

Whether you are considering the purchase of your first RV or your next RV, we are confident you will enjoy the following advantages of Prime Time Manufacturing:
Prime Time Manufacturing understands the critical elements of designing a winning recreational vehicle – floorplan, eye appeal, storage, and convenience. However, the true genius is in the details. Is every inch of storage space fully utilized? Is there adequate pantry space for both tall and short items? Where do you put your trash can? Does each feature maximize user comfort and convenience? Are the decors residential yet durable? We have spent years listening to customers talk about what they want in the "perfect" RV. Drawing on that feedback, countless hours are incorporated into dissecting every detail to fully maximize the enjoyment each of our models will provide. We are fanatical about design because we want to ensure that our RVs will EXCEED your expectations.
Prime Time Manufacturing chose to headquarter its operations in Wakarusa, Indiana, the center of northern Indiana's Amish community. This is an area where old world craftsmanship, traditional work ethics, and doing things the "right" way are still emphasized and valued. Our executive management team has over 100 years of manufacturing experience that allows Prime Time to engineer and build an RV that will withstand the test of time. Every unit we ship is put through a rigorous 65 point system inspection at our factory AND at your selling dealership to make sure your first camping adventure is memorable for all of the right reasons. Finally, we provide a comprehensive Emergency Roadside Assistance program for your additional safety, convenience, and peace of mind. For us, quality isn't just a slogan, it's our culture.
Prime Time Manufacturing is a division of Forest River, Inc, one of North America's largest producers of towable recreational products. Because of our tremendous corporate sales volume, we are able to leverage massive purchasing power to produce an RV with more features for the money than any other company in the industry. We also operate with extremely low overhead. You won't find Prime Time advertising in national trade magazines or traditional media sources – we rely on good old fashioned word of mouth advertising. Our dealers aren't rewarded with luxurious trips or outfitted with fancy wardrobes – they only get high quality, fast selling RVs that are priced lower than the competition. We understand that the purchase of your next RV is one of the most important decisions you will make and we are committed to giving you the best value for your hard earned dollar.

Red barberry is a tough, drought-resistant plant that grows well in desert environments such as the American Southwest. Caring for this plant requires proper placement in the landscape, as well as pruning, mulching, and fertilization.Continue Reading
Even though red barberries are heat-loving plants, people who live in areas that have hot summers should place their barberry bush where it gets a bit of shade during the afternoon. Avoid planting it in damp, low-lying areas where rain water has a tendency to pool. Established bushes will be able to withstand periods of hot, dry weather, but damp and wet conditions may kill red barberry plants.
Keeping red barberry plants mulched will help protect their roots from temperature extremes in both summer and winter. Fertilizer should be applied at the first sign of new growth in the spring, and reapplied every 4 to 6 weeks until fall.
Pruning is also an important part of taking care of a barberry plant. It should be pruned in the early spring before new growth begins to emerge. Branches that were damaged by wind and weather should be removed, and the bush should be pruned into a roundish shape. This is very important during the first 2 years to ensure that the plant grows to be as bushy as possible.
Those who take proper care of their red barberry bushes will be rewarded by a floral display comprised of bright yellow flowers during the spring.Learn more about Trees & Bushes

The Soapbar Mount is the perfect way to upgrade your P90s in your guitar. This mount was designed to fit into any guitar that has a soapbar sized cavity. Mounting screws and compression rubber for fine adjustment included.
The pickup mounts with wood screws thru the top of the cover - so there must be solid wood for the screws to "bite" into. Check to see if there is a metal mounting plate under the stock pickup - if so, you may need a wooden insert (sold separately).
Notes and things....
TV Jones soapbar mount pickups are not intended to replace dogear P90 pickups. Please see the Universal Mount with Dogear Ring.

As surveillance equipment become smaller and cheaper, increasing numbers of ordinary people are buying them and they are also being used by law enforcement and the military.
There are innumerable surveillance gadgets on the market today. And it is not like you have to go to a shop to buy them. You can do all your research online and have them delivered in a short time. They are easy to put up and use and usually do not require expert help (unless it is a high-end device which needs to be wired by an electrician or specialist). Whether it is home or office or workplace, many surveillance gadgets are the norm. The following are different types of surveillance equipment used by law enforcement and the military;
Visual surveillance
Most public places, banks, airports, shops, malls, roads and high traffic areas have CCTVs. Whether it is a case of big brother watching you or not, CCTVs provide some protection against crime in the sense that at least they catch the action so criminals and miscreants can be caught more easily. A part from noticeable CCTVs, people also use hidden or disguised cameras in their homes and offices.
These may be nanny cams or cams disguised as clocks or other ordinary devices to capture all the action. They may record video alone or with audio. The better devices are motion activated, so they don't waste battery life. Cameras also include those who are outside the house to provide protection against unauthorized entry.
They can also be miniature cameras disguised as everyday items like pens, lighters, calculators and mobiles. These are for recording when on the go.
Audio surveillance
Telephones, whether landlines or mobiles, can easily be bugged and conversations are recorded. The bugs are small and virtually undetectable. As long as mobiles are concerned, there is spy software which can be installed on the phones to track all calls and messages, sent and received.
You can also buy from hundreds of different recording devices, most of which are disguised so nobody will know that you are recording them. With advancement in technology, all the stuff is digitized and can be transferred to the computer for easy tracking and hearing. In fact, many mobiles now come with built-in voice recorders which can record phone conversations or even conversations around within a certain radius.
Then there are devices which are so powerful that you can easily listen through walls. These are more expensive, being high end and often used during covert operations.
GPS trackers
GPS tracking devices now come attached to many mobile phones so that if they are lost or stolen, they can be found. These devices are so small and so easily available that they have many uses. For example, when putting on fleet cars or transport, the vehicles can be tracked and time sheets checked to see that the driver was where he said he was.
These devices can also be used on pets and even small children so that you don't 'lose' them. Valuable assets can also be put in bags containing GPS devices.
Night vision
Binoculars and Monoculars are not used only be spies and those on covert missions. They are easily available to the general public to use and can be used to see in the night and the dark. They are useful not only for surveillance purposes but also during camping and wildlife observation.
There are many spy gadgets and software available which can be used to 'spy' on work done on the computer. While some of them may have more benign uses, such as keeping an eye on your kids' computing habits and protecting them from predators, others can be used for industrial or corporate espionage.
Many surveillance gadgets, though available off the net, may not be strictly legal for use in most places. In fact, most evidence collected through your efforts may not be admissible in courts of any wrongdoing. Hopefully, you will be using surveillance equipment only for protection or for your knowledge and safety.
These surveillance equipment are very helpful in monitoring large organizations and places which require high security. Since it is not possible to monitor a large area with the naked eye hence law enforcement and the military use for monitoring purposes.

Excerpt from the article by Ben Hall
It's set on a stretch of coastline that's an endless procession of classic white sand surf beaches, backed up by lush rolling countryside and mystical rainforests, and the Northern Rivers region of Australia is one of the country's best kept secrets.
The Northern Rivers is a 300km stretch of coastline Tweed Heads and Grafton on the east coast of Australia, and it's a diverse blend of fantastic beaches, subtropical rainforests with waterfalls, dramatic mountains forged by volcanic activity, and local characters in the guise of poets, artists, farmers, businessmen and eco-warriors.
The Tweed Valley, just a 20 minute drive south-west of Coolangatta Airport, is a great place to start an exploration of the Northern Rivers. This is where you leave the "big city" behind and enter Australia's Green Cauldron, which is the ancient remnants of the largest shield volcano in the southern hemisphere. It's been awarded the status as a National Landscape in Australia, one of just nine, and the Tweed Valley lies smack bang in the middle of this giant caldera with the towering peak of Mt Warning as the major landmark of this area. Lush tropical forests sweep up the mountains, dotted by farms and homesteads, and tiny towns and fresh fruit and vegetable stalls break up the driving along the way.
Simply driving around this beautiful area is an experience in itself and the journey into the Crystal Creek Rainforest Retreat is a relaxing and invigorating way to end a day of exploring the Tweed Valley. The Retreat is a collection of luxury private bungalows and rainforest lodges for couples only with romance and seclusion as the main themes. Each accommodation is totally private and all you hear is the sound of Crystal Creek, and the occasional scrub turkey scratching around in the forest.
All the bedrooms look out over the rainforest, and they also each feature a large two-person jacuzzi, also with forest views and totally secluded. It's the ultimate couples escape and there are bush walks around the area which lead to a good swimming hole and the signature hammocks over Crystal Creek. A gourmet dining menu is offered and can delivered to your accommodation in the afternoon (at an extra cost), and can be reheated at whatever time suits. Some of the menu items include red curry with roast haloumi and cashews, traditional English beef stew and creamy garlic seafood medley.
Breakfast baskets and picnic hampers are also offered, but the kitchen facilities in each bungalow means it's easy to self-cater as well. This place has won one of the Australian Tourism Awards major gong - the Unique Accommodation prize - along with three international environmental tourism awards and 17 regional awards.
And for those fortunate enough to sit in one of the jacuzzis overlooking an ancient rainforest and its abundant wildlife, it's easy to see why.
