Well, this one has been several years in the making.
Hello kids. I'm your friendly neighborhood Animal Control Officer, and I'd like to officially tell you all to bite my ass. Before I ride off into the sunset, however - here are some parting words...
1) To all the jackasses who ask me if I don't have something better to do than giving them a ticket for no license/dog off leash/being a douchebag. The answer is no. No, I have nothing better than to take my precious time and taxpayer dollars to write you a COMPLETELY LAME ticket for not doing what was your responsibility to do in the first place. I love nothing more than babysitting grown adults who seem incapable of wiping their own ass without law enforcement present. Thanks, dirtbags.
2) To all the jackasses who ask me why I'm not rounding up all the killer pitbulls. Where...WHERE!? Where are all the killer pitbulls that are roaming the streets and attacking your women and children. My god, the city should just issue you all SHOTGUNS to fend off these land sharks. In other news, THERE IS NO VICIOUS PITBULL EPIDEMIC. Let's all hold hands and say it together folks, the only epidemic is misinformation, ignorance and animal neglect. Thanks, please drive through to the second window and receive a punch in the face.
3) To all the jackasses who refuse to spay/neuter, or who think they're "breeders" because they put fido and fifi together and produced a litter of mongrels who will all likely end up in a barrel behind the shelter by the time they reach sexual maturity: Die. Diediediediedie. I wish to god that there was a mandatory spay/neuter law and that the penalty for breaking it was to be forced to spend a day working in the euthanasia room. Seriously. It's simple smurfing math, people. Every dog or cat you carelessly add into this world takes away a home for a dog or cat that is already here. So breeding means killing...so have a good day, executioners! I hope the 50 bucks you made off that puppy sure feels good.
4) There is no goddamn thing as "No Kill". I hate to burst your collective bubble, but when you call and ask if our shelter is "no kill", don't treat me like a kitten murderer when I tell you NO. There are simply not enough resources or homes available to find every pet a home and that is NOT MY FAULT. Quite simply, there is no "dog whisperer" in the world who can save your eight year old Rottweiler that spent his entire life chained to a tree in your backyard. Sorry, buster - but this one's on you. And the places that claim to be "No Kill"? They simply send the unplaceable pets across the street to Animal Control who do the killing for them. WAKE. UP. Until mandatory spay/neuter becomes law, killing is going to happen.
5)You know what's fun? Being told that I must "really hate dogs" because I'm an Animal Control Officer. Yessir. I put up with retards like you, the abysmally low pay, and this fabulously flattering uniform just so I can take all my bitterness out on your dog. That's also why I foster animals, paying for their care out of my own pocket and using up my precious little free time to do it. Yeah, that's it. Now how's about you shut your mouth and put a leash on your dog you asshole, so I don't have to peel him off the street later.
6) LEASHES, PEOPLE. They're not just for the "bad dogs". Quite frankly, dogs are carnivores - predators, if you will. When they see something furry and running fast, like a squirrel or a cat - they tend to chase after it. Next thing you know, I'm scooping up Scooby with a plastic bag...not fun. Or, how about the person who does not in fact, like dogs and has to be accosted by your poochie when they walk down the street? Or, what about the dog aggressive dog being walked safely and in control on a leash until your unleashed dog comes up and just wants to say "hi"? Dog fights are pretty ugly, and NO ONE seems to anticipate them until it's too late. So don't piss and moan when I give you a verbal warning for having your dog off leash...because that leads me to:
7) Your mouth will write you a ticket. Oh yeah, no kidding. I hate writing tickets. They're a pain in the ass. I have to deal with your melt down, then I have to go back to the office and write a report about it. Next, I have to show up in court because you want to contest the ticket, even though 60% of the time YOU NEVER SHOW UP YOU CHICKENSHIT BASTARDS. So, the deal is this - if you're nice and not eggregiously breaking the law, I'm probably just going to warn you and then go about my day. As soon as you break out the lip however, I'm breaking out the ticket book. Press hard, there's four copies.
In conclusion. I quit! Actually, you dipshits broke me a while back and it's been months of therapy before I could write this little missive. I still shudder when I see a pair of testicles on a dog though, so watch out.

Hudson man charged with drunken driving after afternoon crash
August 21. 2013 1:20AM
HUDSON -- Police have charged the driver of a pick-up truck with drunken driving after his truck ran off Wason Road into a gully.
The driver, Arthur Eldredge, 52, of Hudson, was not hurt, but a passenger, Donald Drayer, 41, of Hudson,w as taken to Southern New Hampshire Regional Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
Eldredge was arrested at the scene and charged with driving while intoxicated and violation of the open container law. He was released pending arraignment in Nashua District Court on Sept. 5.
The accident forced the closure of a section of Wason Road while the crash was investigated and the Ford F150 truck removed. The road reopened at about 6 p.m.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — More than 1,000 children are reported missing each year in Maine. The vast majority are quickly reunited with loved ones, often within hours. Over 40 years, only three missing-person cases involving young children remain unsolved.
The case of Ayla Reynolds — which drew national attention as hundreds of searchers looked for her last December in the central Maine town of Waterville — is one of them. And a year later, her family fears that the case is growing cold as they await answers from detectives about what happened to her.
"Sometimes I feel like they're just kind of giving up on it," said Ayla's mother, Trista Reynolds. "You know, Ayla has been missing for a year, and what answers do they have for anybody? None."
Nationally, about 800,000 children and teens are reported missing each year, said Robert Lowery from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Most are soon resolved in all states, but the number of unresolved cases is uncommonly low in Maine, a mostly rural state with a low crime rate.
Ayla, a blond, blue-eyed toddler with a bright smile, was 20 months old when she was reported missing the morning of Dec. 17 from her father's home. The disappearance prompted a massive search by Waterville and state police, game wardens, and FBI agents who canvassed neighborhoods and lowered several streams.
Police announced that they didn't think Ayla was abducted from her bedroom. They also confirmed the presence of her blood in the home and said the father, Justin DiPietro, and two other adults in the home that night know more than they've told detectives, creating an air of suspicion.
DiPietro declined to comment for this story.
Each month in Maine, police receive more than 100 calls about missing children, most of whom are runaways and return home in a day or two. Over the past four decades, that adds up to thousands of runaways, along with kids who become lost or are abducted.
Only Ayla's and two other cases involving young children remain unsolved in Maine, said Stephen McCausland, state police spokesman.
Three-year-old Doug Chapman was last seen playing with his toy trucks in a sand pile behind his family's home in 1971 in Alfred. When his mother went outside to check on him, he had vanished. Road workers nearby didn't see anything. Two bloodhounds tracked his scent to the road.
Carole Anne Allen, Doug's mother, sympathizes with Trista Reynolds because she's been there. Wardens and police searched the woods but found no evidence of Doug, not even his loafers, which he had trouble keeping on his feet.
The first year, she said, was the worst.
Someone stayed near the phone at all times. She didn't know how to act. She didn't want to give up. But law enforcement gave her little hope.
"That's the worst thing. There is no closure. It's like every day you think you see a person who's about the age he would be now. And you think, 'Could he be my son? Is my son in the woods where he died? Or is he alive somewhere?' Forty-one years later, I'm still looking," she said.
Another child, 4-year-old Kurt Ronald Newton, of Manchester, disappeared four years later from a campground near the Canadian border. That case also led to a massive search, but the boy was never found. He father declined to talk about it for this story.
Part of Trista Reynolds' healing was to move to a small town outside of Portland, where she lives with her toddler son and her boyfriend. She said she's no longer confronted with daily reminders of Ayla, as she was in Portland, where the two had lived. She's also seeing a therapist. She's addressed her substance abuse — which led to Ayla being placed with DiPietro in Waterville, 75 miles away — and she's in a better place as she cares for 20-month-old Raymond.
"I'm trying to keep in the spirit of things," she says of her home, which is decorated for the holidays. "Even if my sprits aren't way up, I've got to be up for him," she said of Raymond, a blond bundle of energy who enjoys dancing to Maroon 5's "Moves like Jagger," just as his sister Ayla did.
While Ayla's disappearance remains a mystery, Reynolds questions whether "mystery" is the right word.
Reynolds said police confirmed to her that DiPietro walked out of an interview when he was confronted with photos showing Ayla's blood in the basement. They also confirmed that before dialing 911 the morning that Ayla was reported missing, DiPietro called his friend, an insurance agent who wrote a life insurance policy on Ayla.
State police have declined to comment, other than to say they're not giving up. Police planned to discuss the case at a news conference Friday.
It's difficult for Reynolds to accept that Ayla may be dead, as police now believe.
In Alfred, Allen still thinks daily about her son. She wonders if he was taken by someone who wanted a child, or became a victim of a crime, or simply became lost in the woods.
She said she has a window into how Reynolds must feel.
"Don't tell me my boy is dead unless you have a body, because I don't want to go there," she said. "You don't want to give up hope."

MADRID (AP) — Las Vegas Sands casinos and Madrid officials have chosen the town of Alcorcon on the outskirts of the Spanish capital as the site for the multibillion-dollar "EuroVegas" casino project, which authorities hope will bring much-needed jobs and investment to the recession-wracked country.
Madrid regional government president Ignacio Gonzalez said Friday that work on the first of three phases would begin at the end of 2013 and would be completed by 2017.
The entire project, initially comprising 12 hotels and six casinos, is to be finished by 2023 at an estimated cost of €22 billion.
Las Vegas Sands is to fund 35 percent of the project. It is not clear where the remaining 65 percent will come from.
Spain has a swollen deficit and 26 percent unemployment.

Living the news, publishing every week
In the remote mountain valley where I live in northern Washington, people are talking about two members of a local family who have been indicted by the federal government and charged with killing as many as five endangered gray wolves. A third member of the family is charged with conspiracy to smuggle a wolf pelt out of the country. I own a small weekly newspaper, the Methow Valley News, and our small staff has been all over this story: When protected animals end up dead, it becomes statewide news.
Stories like this often come out of sparsely populated areas like the one my paper covers -- where towns are small, expanses are big, the ideal of personal freedom is strong, and tolerance for outside interference is rock-bottom low. These are the outposts where many of the nation's most contentious environmental issues get played out, far from the big population centers and away from consistent media scrutiny.
Except by publications like the Methow Valley News. City media descend on our area only when news breaks that's of national importance. Most of the time we're it -- a thin line of defense against a journalism-free community. Hundreds of papers like mine persist in the West, most of them isolated and independent, and each serving only a few thousand readers. Overworked reporters scramble with scant resources to cover issues that may resonate well beyond local concerns.
I think of the Methow Valley as a microcosm for the major environmental issues of the West. That makes us, out of necessity, environmental journalists, though we never think of ourselves that way. We just cover the stories as they arise, as fairly as possible.
But sometimes, even reporting the news neutrally -- that is, accurately and with the necessary context -- is seen as slanted. After we'd begun writing about the killing of wolves in the Lookout Pack, one reader wrote and accused us of doing a "hatchet job," adding that our coverage was "one of the most malicious and sensational examples of journalism I have ever witnessed." Another reader said that our coverage was "fair and factual" and that the accused wolf-killers "deserved to be prosecuted for their vicious, self-serving and illegal actions."
Our job is to report stories fully, credibly and consistently. We're not heroes looking for a commendation, just serious reporters working our butts off. Forget about the shabby nobility of tending the sacred journalism flame. This is no Museum of Traditional Country Journalism with authentic re-enactors, nor is it a semi-retirement refuge for worn-out scribes seeking refuge in the rural West.
Like everyone else in the print news industry, we are somewhere on the evolutionary spectrum between movable type and extinction, working hard to keep this form of journalism going long enough for the next economic model to show up.
It may be surprising to hear that - compared to big-city newspapers - the rural press is said to be doing relatively well. But there are doubtless some news vacuums still out there, areas where coverage is so scant, infrequent or superficial that forces are operating essentially unobserved. Unobserved is unchecked, and dangerous.
Who else is going to do it? Bloggers, social media and so-called citizen journalism -- the pundits' solutions to nearly everything -- aren't consistently effective, even in much bigger places. Online news sites are working in some larger markets, but might find it tougher going in the sticks.
In a recent issue, we published yet another story about the wolf killings. We also ran a photo of a little girl buying pumpkins, an analysis of congressional redistricting in our county, the "Police Blotter" and a story about a couple celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary. Pretty routine stuff. We do this week in and week out because it's what our well-informed and engaged community expects. But we're not primitives.
We file breaking news updates on our website, have a Facebook page, a Twitter account and are working on an electronic edition. At the same time, we're still training many of our readers to even look at such things.
Maybe the industry intellectuals who have swept us into the journalism ashbin along with the big-city newspapers are right, and we will inevitably fail. But after more than 35 years in larger markets working for much bigger publications, I'd rather be here practicing meaningful journalism for a deserving audience than approximating some wan shadow of the craft for an online "community" site where tweeted rumors count as news.
Our readers hold us to a higher standard, and most days we're the best source they have. It's good to be needed; it's good to be faithfully read.

Style # 221517
Sheer lace paneling, waist-accentuating peplum and a luxe lightweight fabric make this bebe blouse an incredibly sexy must-have this season. Try it with anything from skinny jeans to a high-waisted skirt.
- 100% polyester
- Center back to hem: 22" (56 cm)
- Hand wash according to care label
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Sleeveless Lace Blouse is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 4 out of 5 by AmbitiousBEBE21 from beautilful no stretch, true to size. picture does not do it justice pretty dressed up or casual with jeans.
Date published: 2013-10-30
Rated 3 out of 5 by LilBit from So-So... I love the feminine look to this shirt, that's why I ordered it & that's why I gave it 3 stars, however, the material isn't up to par. The material that covers your boobs is too thin & you can very clearly see your nipples. The color & shape of the back of the shirt doesn't really allow you to wear a bra (yes, even a racerback bra) without taking away from the simple, sweet & feminine look of the top. It can be pulled off w/ maybe a nude color racerback, I just personally prefer not to wear a bra with 'see through lace back tops'. Unfortunately I'll be returning this one. For reference, I'm a 32D/24 inch waist/5'1/105 lbs. & I ordered an XXS & it fit perfectly!

A few months ago, television watchers like myself were bombarded by commercials featuring a young man attempting to "live" out of his car for a few days. However, this guy has been doing it since July 2005. Andy Bussell lives out of his pickup truck, sleeping in the back. He wakes up, showers at the university gym, attends classes, then goes to work at the Apple Store. To keep himself from going insane, he is a yoga-practicing, guitar-playing rock climber. Always pushing him towards insanity are the voluntary living conditions:
What he misses most are a kitchen and a bathroom. To deal with the former, he buys food such as yogurt and fruit in small quantities; for as regards the latter, he takes advantage of public facilities. On occasion, he has resorted to employing an empty Gatorade bottle.
Andy decided to lean towards the simpler life when his credit card debt kept piling up. Now that he has been able to save some money, his debt is almost all paid off.
This adventure takes place in California; living in the Northeast, you would need to leave the heat on in order to survive in your car. The frequent gasoline fill-ups would negate any savings you'd manage to keep.
Read the hundreds of comments below for more interesting experiences had by those living out of their vehicles. If this describes you, please feel free to share your experiences below, as well.

The first minigame is "Rena*PUN*" (original name "renapan"), where you try to avoid Rena's punches.
The next two are... too darn silly to describe. Seriously. Okay, they are called "Sufi Bomber" and "Devi-Devi Devils".
The final minigame is "Strolling with Rika-chan", where you help little kitten Rika-chan make it safely through Hinamizawa. (Miiiiiii...)
Yes, we are translating the minigames, but we won't be putting enormous loads of effort into it... the creators didn't seem to put a lot of effort into them, either...

How to play Renapan
I took a look at Renapan online, and the way to play is simple but tricky.
If she throws a right punch, click on the right side of the screen (to avoid it).
If she throws a left punch, click on the left side of the screen (same idea).
However, if you avoid it too soon, the punch will still get you - you have to wait until the fist has almost hit, and click at that moment. The timing's the hardest thing to get used to in this game, really.
It's not the same as the game within the novel - there it doesn't matter _where_ you click. You do a left-click for a left punch, and a right-click for a right punch. The timing's just as much of a pain there though. And of course you don't hear Rena talking . Oh, and there's 3 stages to the game - you have to avoid 100 punches to clear each one! There's dialogue explaining the idea of the game, and more between each stage, which I'm of course translating so players won't be left in the dark. The dialogue banter is fun too, I hope you enjoy it.

Because Im the worlds most distracted person (plus I didnt feel much like working today ) I decided to do up a little file for people...
hat would be a full installer for the Day 5 version of the patch for the Full/retail version. (not sure if it would do the download version) What makes this special is that it will actually read the registry for where Higurashi was installed (since they were kind enough to record it), and install it correctly. It will even function in Vista with ease!
Even creates icons in the start menu and on the desktop with that cute Rena face provided in the zip file
Okay then. I think I better go do some work now...

Beta Test: Onikakushi Day 9, part 1
Hi folks,
We'll be doing a translation release of the whole next chapter of Onikakushi (Day 9), but since it's so long that it even comes in two parts in the actual game, we've decided to do a beta test of just the first part.
So then, this is a general shout-out for any and all beta testers! If you would like to help out and have time this week to try out the beta patch, send a PM telling me which Higurashi game you have (full or demo). Your feedback will be greatly appreciated!

this particular installer is made by compiling a script file which says what needs to be done. The software is called NSIS and its free. it does compile everything into itself as part of the process (and smaller than a normal zip )
I just checked the CD (trust me to have an image of the CD on my Work PC) and I see what you mean. It does appear to define the installer in a text file. Unfortunetly, NSIS cant do that.
I can fully understand wanting to keep it in zip format. I just provided this as an extra option for those who have the full version in Windows. Truth be told, its mostly because it works flawlessly in Vista
Just think of this as a bonus for those on Windows. Its since ive already done all the "hard" stuff, its actually going to take me longer to turn on my laptop then to update in the future

After looking through the Beta of day 9 part 1
Here are a few things
You shouldn't define words in game as it kinda takes away from the story I.E "Miko (Shrine Maiden)" or "Tako (octopus)" etc.. Also most people know what these things are.
Trying to load a game crashes ONscripter
Also it's been awhlie since I last read Onikakushi (in Japanese) and being a K1xMion fan, the amount of RenaxK1 in Onikakushi is making me want to kill somebody...
Though on the other hand I found Tommy to be moe... I think something's wrong with me.

Are you using an onscripter-en other than the one that came with the beta patch?
As for the RenaxK1... well, you could think of the first 3 games as 3 different "paths" in a dating simulation. Onikakushi is the Rena path, Watanagashi is the Mion(?)/Shion(?) path, and Tatarigoroshi is the Satoko path. (Himatsubushi is sort of a Rika path, but with a different protagonist.) Neat, huh?

just posted my savegame testing to the Sonozaki Futago-tachi sisters, but I think I will say it here for those who want to upgrade before those sisters manage to magic up a fix for it.
Save games made during the TIPS Save/Load screen will crash when loaded in a different version. No matter which save it is (just tried it with on a TIPS save after day 4 as well - same result). If you want to save after that, for now you will have to either save just before, or just after (as in once the VERY first line of text appears) the save screen. (and thats what their last magic fix supported)
also, you shouldnt have too much of a problem loading your game back into Day5 Patch (extra folders are fun!) and loading that save game, just to advance to the first line of text and save again. Thats a nice work around for now, so that your not stuck.

Hi Mion,
Glad to see that your progress is continuing
My PC died shortly after your last email so I wasn't able to follow through with continuing with the rest of the game. (Had to buy a new one in fact ) But I'll be re-downloading the demo and buying the game once I locate the links in this thread. The emails with the links are lost though
Kind of hard to find time to search through the thread for them now; I've got too much on my plate at the moment But I wanted to say "Thanks!" to you and your sis for all the hard work; it's really appreciated
Keep on keepin' on!

I'm really enjoying your translation and seeing all the extra material that had to be left out of the series. I do have a bit of a question on your translation though - on the second day, when Mion and Rena are explaining about the Watanagashi festival they say "Watanagashi isn't a summer festival; apparently it began as a festival to celebrate the end of winter." I know a lot of countries use a different way of reckoning the seasons, but by the Japanese calender wouldn't Watanagashi fall practically on midsummer?

I do agree that mid-late June is a bit late to have an "end of winter" festival; I'd normally consider April or May to be the better month for that. But then, Hinamizawa is a mountain village, so maybe winter ends a little later. Or maybe Watanagashi used to be earlier, but got move to June. Hard to say for sure.

The end of winter thing can also be a calendar thing. Japan had a lunar calendar, that didn't attach a particular month to a season; then they went luni-solar, and different months had to have the solstice or equinox in the precise middle, but since calendars are always imprecise, the seasons drifted away from their dates (like it happened in Europe, with Easter falling later and later at one point; and in Japan, different places celebrate the Bon festival at a month's interval). If Hinamizawa had the festival in April, it's quite possible it got shifted with no one bothering to put it back to the right month, since by their reckoning it was still the right "time" to have it.

Ipswich 1 Charlton 2: Latics end losing streak as Fuller strike heaps pressure on Jewell
16:56 GMT, 22 September 2012
Charlton ended a three-match losing streak to pile the misery on fellow npower Championship strugglers Ipswich and increase the mounting pressure on Town boss Paul Jewell.
Two quickfire goals at the start of the second half from captain Johnnie Jackson and Ricardo Fuller did the damage as the Addicks picked up their first win in five and their first away from home this season.
Jason Scotland reduced the arrears when his long-range effort deflected off the unfortunate Michael Morrison, but the hosts could not fashion a leveller in the remaining half-hour and were greeted with a chorus of boos by the Portman Road faithful at the final whistle.
Charlton Athletic's Ricardo Fuller (2nd left) celebrates his goal against Ipswich Town with team mates.
Match facts
Ipswich: Loach, Edwards, Chambers, Smith (Higginbotham 90), Cresswell, Martin, Luongo, Drury, Emmanuel-Thomas (Ellington 46), Murphy (Carson 80), Scotland.

Ref: Martin Atkinson.
Latest Championship table, fixtures and results
It was a clash between two sides
whose struggles in the Championship were very much mirrored going into
the encounter, however the greater pressure was certainly on
second-bottom Town, who also had one win to their name but found
themselves in their lowest league position for three seasons.
And that makes this latest setback
all the more painful for the Suffolk club, now winless in five and still
to triumph at home, and puts Jewell in a precarious position.
Jewell's threadbare squad was
stretched even further by the damaging loss of strike partners Paul
Taylor and Michael Chopra to injury, with new loan signing Danny
Higginbotham on the bench.
Charlton boss Chris Powell,
meanwhile, also lost the services of Yann Kermorgant and duly handed a
first start to former Stoke frontman Fuller.
Despite the absence of Taylor and
Chopra, Town looked lively in attack early on with Daryl Murphy and
Jason Scotland both enjoying opportunities.
Salim Kerkar, recalled by Powell,
came within inches of connecting from close range at the other end as
both sides enjoyed half chances.
Pressure: Jewell's side have lost three on the trot
Charlton restored the balance of play
following Town's early dominance, Dale Stephens' speculative long-range
effort forcing a solid parried save from Scott Loach.
Yet clear-cut chances were severely
lacking and the excitement of the opening quarter had long disappeared
by the time referee Martin Atkinson brought the first half to a close.
Jewell turned to Nathan Ellington at the break, handing the marksman his first appearance since January.
But the second half started in disastrous fashion for the hosts.
A teasing ball from the right evaded
Bradley Wright-Phillips but was recycled on the left and sent back in to
the Ipswich area to be finished by Jackson.
Matters soon went from bad to worse
as Massimo Luongo lost the ball, sparking a Charlton counter which
resulted in Fuller drilling the ball home from the right side of the
penalty area.
However, Scotland reduced the arrears
in fortuitous fashion in the 57th minute when his tame effort from
distance took a huge deflection off Morrison to wrong foot Ben Hamer.
Yet despite plenty of endeavour,
mixed with little quality, the home side were unable to force a
leveller, with Ellington blazing over late on, much to the disapproval
of the vocal home support.

Heather Kurano is a Spanish instructor in the Department of Languages and Literatures of Europe and the Americas at UH Mānoa. Kurano is successful in making the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures "come alive" and be more real than theoretical by relating to students at their interest levels. Whenever she travels to Spanish speaking areas, she brings back authentic materials in the language that are also culturally relevant. She often incorporates video clips, radio excerpts, reading materials and even music from abroad to expose students to the culture in a variety of forms. A colleague observed, "There is no doubt that she is one of the most versatile and capable language instructors that we have in the Spanish program."

Tangaro "is charged with bridging not only generations, but our sister campuses and our community. He is a visionary." Students that experienced his teaching style and creative genius say that he is "truly a bright and rising star."

The 2003 Energy Efficiency Integration Awards (EEIA) Winners
For their integration of energy efficiency with outstanding architectural design, five nonresidential projects have received awards as the culmination of the 2003 Savings By Design Energy Efficiency Integration Awards Competition. The winning design teams received their awards at the National AIA Convention in San Diego on May 8. The announcement was made jointly by the competition's co-sponsors: The American Institute of Architects, California Council, Pacific Gas and Electric, San Diego Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, and Southern California Gas Company.
"The winning projects in this year's competition struck a common chord with the jurors," commented Charles Angyal, FAIA, manager of commercial new construction energy efficiency programs at San Diego Gas & Electric. "Each project demonstrated a masterful integration of energy efficiency strategies and techniques into a simple, elegant design that was respectful of its surroundings. This year's winners exemplify the momentum for energy efficient design fostered through the Savings By Design program."
The jurors chose two projects for Awards of Honor, citing their seamless integration of energy efficiency into elegant building design. They bestowed Awards of Merit to two more projects for expertly incorporating energy efficiency into challenging situations (school retrofit/infill and large-scale office complex). Finally, they awarded one Special Citation to a classroom that served as an outstanding pedagogical expression of energy efficient and sustainable design.

I came up with this recipe one day after harvesting some squashes and herbs from my home garden. The marinade can be tweaked with any woodsy herb and substituting a different vinegar or citrus juice. A super hot grill and sturdy skewers are key...—Stefano Coppola
Food52 Review: This dish is a great example of the whole equaling more than the sum of its parts. At first glance, this recipe seems simple enough, but we've never tasted grilled zucchini quite like this. The porous squash soaks up the lemon, garlic, herbs and chili in the marinade, and after a quick char on the barbecue, it's positively bursting with flavor. Add the soft, mellow sweetness of red onion grilled in its own skin and you've got a bowl of vegetables that's addictive. You'll have leftover marinade, which is a good thing: reuse it to grill more veggies or drizzle over a salad. Stefano Coppola doesn't specify this, but we marinated the squash at room temperature. We also seasoned the skewers generously with salt and pepper before throwing them on the grill, adding a bit more seasoning later along with a tablespoon of oil from the marinade. - A&M —The Editors

text: Traditional philosophical questions about the nature of time and space have been strikingly influenced in the twentieth century by the results of contemporary physical science. At the same time, the important current physical theories of space and time rest explicitly or implicitly on deep-rooted philosophical assumptions. The purpose of this course is to study the mutual interaction between science and philosophy as illustrated in problems about space and time. Typical topics to be considered include the status of knowledge about the structure of space and time, substantial versus relational theories of space-time, spatio-temporal order and causal order, and the so-called problem of the direction of time. This course can be appreciated by students who have either a background in philosophy — especially logic and philosophy of science, metaphysics, epistemology — or background in physical science or mathematics. An attempt is made in this course to introduce the fundamental ideas of both philosophy and science at a level which can be understood by those without extensive background so students need not be proficient in both science and philosophy to benefit from the course. The primary text is L. Sklar's Space, Time, and Spacetime. There are additional readings from such authors as Reichenbach, Poincaré, Grunbaum, Smart, Wheeler, and others.

I know you don't mean it like this, but I just want to clarify it to anyone reading - I am not avoiding the vet for a money reason. However, I am also not opposed to treating problems at home if possible.

He's not doing that "please stick your finger in my ear until it hits my brain" thing, so something is clearing up, and he's only shaking his head after we dump the saline in it.

…to our Christian readers and friends, and Happy Holidays to all. We have been enjoying a mellow–some might say lazy–Christmas season. All of our kids are home for the holidays except my middle daughter, who texted Christmas greetings from the beach at Nice. So I've been offline. Tomorrow it's back to the office, both real and virtual. Until then, it's peace on earth and good will toward men. Even liberals. So it's time to sign off and curl up with a good magazine.
This is part of this year's Christmas tree, decorated by yours truly:


text:
My daughter came home from a friend's house one day not too long ago with a bracelet made from small, interlocking, colorful rubber bands. Soon she had another made by another friend. Then another made by a classmate. Then we heard the bracelets mentioned at Girl Scouts. And then my 8-year-old was invited to a class to learn to make the bracelets all on her own. Eventually, it dawned on me that these Rainbow Loom bracelets were the new big thing.
And they are, at least among elementary school kids, it seems. I was clueless until a month or so ago, but Rainbow Loom has been enthralling kids for a little while now, so says The New York Times.
If you are like I was and not in the know, a Rainbow Loom is a plastic, peg-board-like device on which you weave, or pull, tiny rubber bands into cool bracelets.
A sure sign of its popularity: The bracelets and devices have been banned from one New York City school, apparently for being too distracting and prompting playground fights.
Also: My daughter and her friend -- a fellow kid with a Rainbow Loom -- both showed up at their softball game Saturday with brightly colored bracelets on their wrists. Two teammates saw them and squealed, "Rainbow Loom!"
So yeah, it's big. And yeah, it's weird how these things seem to just take over. But at least unlike Beanie Babies or Silly Bandz this fad isn't just about buying. The making is the thing.
My daughter had a sleepover on Saturday and she and her buddy spent most of the time "looming" the host Mom said. And they also did research, watching videos on how to do different patterns and quickly mastering more intricate designs.
When my daughter returned home the next day, she went right to her room with her loom and made more bracelets, fancier ones than I'd seen before.
She did that until she ran out of her stash of rubber bands.
So now it is about buying because she needs more rubber bands, please.
But it is mostly about the crafting -- and also about giving. She has bracelets made by friends, and she made me a bracelet, and she made one for her brother, in his hockey team colors. He even wore it to school, declaring it "cool."
So as fads go, I can deal with Rainbow Loom, though the supplies aren't offered everywhere (locally Michael's or a Learning Express store seem to be best, or maybe only, bets).
I'll be in search of more tiny rubber bands as soon as I have a few free minutes....

This week brought news of numerous recalls (Honda, Chrysler's Ram truck, Dodge), big rebates on the Chevy Volt, and a partnership between DreamWorks and Ford that will bring a modified Mustang to the big screen in next year's "Need for Speed" film.
Here's what else you may have missed from this week's car news:
Apple announced its latest operating system will have an in-car component. Speaking at Apple's 2013 Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, senior vice president Eddy Cue said iOS in the Car would use the iPhone's voice-activated Siri system and integrate the phone's maps, texting and music into the existing screen in the car.
In his address, Cue said 95% of vehicles being sold today can integrate "music playback and control" from an Apple device. Seeking to build on this connectivity, Cue said, iOS in the Car will use voice-activated commands for hands-free and eyes-free control.
Numerous automakers are slated to include this system in their cars for 2014. The list includes Acura, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Volvo.
The road to an electric future got another boost on Tuesday as six automakers announced they were adopting a standardized charging setup. General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz announced that they would integrate into future electric cars a combination charging system that works with AC or DC power.
"This unprecedented cooperation ... demonstrates the maturity of this important technology that will help speed the adoption of electric vehicles around the world," said Britta Gross, GM's director of advanced vehicle commercialization policy.
AC is more commonly used in slower home-charging stations, while DC is favored for public fast-charging stations that can add back up to 80% of a car's power in as little as 20 minutes.
The system was recently endorsed as the industry standard by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The first commercially available vehicles to come to market with this new fast-charging combination will be the Chevrolet Spark EV and the BMW i3.
Audi announced its full 2014 lineup -- including pricing -- on Thursday.
The list includes a host of new diesel models in the A6, A7, A8, and Q5 range. On all but the A8 line, the diesel versions of each vehicle will be positioned at the top of the lineup.
This strategy differs from Mercedes-Benz, which has said it will position some of its 2014 diesel models (the GLK crossover and the midsize E-Class) as the entry-level model.
Audi also announced a small horsepower bump in its A4, A5 and all-road cars. The trio share a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which will now make 220 horsepower.
Unfortunately, we'll need to wait a few more months to get pricing for some of Audi's newest -- and most interesting -- offerings, including the supercharged, 354-horsepower SQ5 crossover and the 560 horsepower RS 7.
A complete list of the models and prices is available here.

The Lake Region Classification System is a tool used for grouping lakes based on similarities in physiography, geology, soils, hydrology, water chemistry, vegetation, and climate. It was created from a cooperative effort involving the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and researchers at the University of Florida's Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. There are a total of 47 Lake Region groups. These are used to provide a framework of the different types of lakes in the state so that management plans can be developed for groups of lakes with similar characteristics.

The lake region this lake is located in is:
Ocala Scrub (Region 7509)
This is a region of ancient dunes with excessively drained deep sandy soils and sand pine scrub forests. The Ocala Scrub lake region contains acid, mostly clear-water, low-nutrient lakes. The clear lakes are generally on the higher sandy ridges, moderate color lakes are in lower transition areas, and some prairie lakes can have darker water.
