The Sennheiser Evolution 100 series of wireless microphones has always been very popular with event video producers. Through successive generations I've always appreciated the sturdy metal housings, the ability to choose among thousands of tunable UHF frequencies, and cross-compatibility with a line that includes handheld, lavaliere, and plug-on XLR transmitters paired with portable or rackmount receivers. Sennheiser is constantly improving its Evolution 100 G series offering. The original G1 portable line featured a rather large transmitter and receiver pair that required expensive 9V batteries. For original G1 owners, the decision to upgrade to the G2 was obvious. Sennheiser reduced the size of both the bodypack transmitter and receiver and switched to a pair of less-expensive AA batteries. Now, Sennheiser's latest offering is the G3, and aside from a pair of external charging contacts to charge the optional BA 2015 accupack rechargeable battery, it looks almost identical to the G2 that it's replacing. So the question I set out to answer for myself is this: Did Sennheiser make enough improvements to the G3 to entice me to upgrade my current G2s?
The Improvements and Their BenefitsThe G3s now offer 1,680 tunable frequency options. The old ones had plenty at 1,400. But the big improvement is the increase from 8 presets to 20 channel banks, each having up to 12 frequency presets.
This is one way to make the job of selecting the same frequency for both the transmitter and receiver much easier. The other is to apply the new sync function in the menu that matches the receiver frequency to the transmitter using an infrared interface when they're both at close range (10cm max).
While these features are improvements, they offer limited performance benefits. By far the biggest improvement-and the best reason to upgrade-is not something that's found in the menu or is even visible on the outside. It's the way Sennheiser is using the shielding on the receiver's AF Out jack as a second antenna to enable adaptive-diversity reception. Diversity reception improves reception and reduces dropouts by switching receiving antennas automatically to the one that has the best reception. This is a standard feature on more-expensive systems. The active antenna is denoted by the Roman numerals I and II, which are visible on the orange backlit display panel (the old one was green).
In terms of reliability, my only complaint with the older models that apply to the new G3 is that I found the set screw for the 3.5mm mic/line and AF Out jack occasionally would back itself out and require replacement. At $3, the cost of the part is negligible, but I've had to replace four of them over the years. My other concern is with the quality of the lavaliere cable. I've repaired or replaced three cables (replacement cost $139.95), all of which have started pulling away from the jack due to the constant stress from tugging when a microphone has been mounted without enough slack.
Higher-End LavalieresI've started upgrading my lavaliere microphones to the more-expensive and higher-quality MKE-2 Gold lavaliere microphones, which I find easier to mount on my talent as the clip can rotate 360 degrees in 90 degree increments; this is helpful when you need to make quick microphone changes between men and women. If you haven't already noticed, men's and women's shirts button on different sides, so a clip mounted on a man's shirt pointing up would have the microphone pointing down on a woman's shirt.
The supplied ME-2 microphone can be adjusted at 0 degrees and 180 degrees, but it requires you to remove and replace both the windscreen cap and the clip in order to flip the clip. It also doesn't allow the mounting of multiple microphones like the MKE-2 gold clip does, nor does it allow vertical mounting of the microphone relative to the clip, which is very useful for accommodating a variety of shirts with different necklines.
Battery IssuesOverall, I would recommend the Sennheiser Evolution 100 G3; I plan on upgrading my entire line to the new line, specifically to benefit from diversity reception. As far as features go, I would like to see Sennheiser upgrade its transmitter and receiver bodypacks to allow the user to set the battery type so that the battery-remaining display is accurate to the battery type.
As my test will demonstrate, the problem right now is that Sennheiser is calibrating to the discharge curve of an alkaline battery, which is very different from that of a rechargeable battery.
I recently saw the discard box of gently used AA batteries from rental equipment at one of my local suppliers, and I realized there has to be a way for us, as event videographers, to stop producing so much waste.
Although alkaline batteries are termed "disposable," they contain mercury and other caustic agents such as potassium hydroxide. Many jurisdictions, such as California, have banned the disposal of alkaline batteries with domestic waste.
I rarely see rechargeable batteries being used in wireless microphones-almost all video producers and A/V companies prefer single-use alkaline batteries. Why is that? We trust rechargeable batteries for our video cameras; long ago, photographers switched to rechargeables for both their DSLR cameras and flashes, so why not use rechargeables for wireless microphones? As early as 2004, I had firsthand experience of the benefits of rechargeable batteries. While on a vacation following a video shoot in Belgium, I took a lot of photos with a Fuji digital camera. I noticed that I would get very little battery life with alkaline AA batteries, but I never ran dead using rechargeable batteries.
Since then, I've had the feeling that rechargeable AA batteries were equal to or better than alkaline for certain applications. I now know that much of the reason for the difference is that rechargeables perform better than the alkaline batteries in high-drain devices, due to a lower internal resistance. But what about in low-drain devices such as wireless transmitters?
Armed with this hypothesis, I set out to determine specifically if rechargeable AA batteries were equal to their disposable alkaline counterparts when used in wireless microphones.
A Battery of TestsIn my research for this article, I came across a forum on DVcreators.net discussing the use of rechargeable batteries that I feel sums up what is commonly and incorrectly believed. One forum member wrote, "AA batteries are generally 1.5V so the rechargeables you mention at 1.2V may work, but the life expectancy would of course be much shorter."
In theory, it makes sense that the stated voltage difference would be the deciding factor. But in testing, the opposite held true: Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries had a higher voltage than alkaline batteries at about the 5-6 hour mark, which is when it matters the most.
My test batteries fell into three categories: alkaline, NiMH rechargeable, and low self-discharge NiMH rechargeable. For the record, I conducted full tests only on the transmitters, as they have higher power requirements, but you can expect up to a 50% longer run time with the same batteries in the receiver.
Sennheiser ships its Evolution 100 kits with standard 1.5V Duracell brand alkaline CopperTop batteries, so I used those supplied as my baseline. I recorded the voltage under load every half hour and counted how many bars were remaining on the battery meter. Three bars corresponded to a voltage exceeding 1.3V; two bars >1.16V; one bar >1V; and no bars corresponded to a voltage under 1V.
The Duracell CopperTop batteries started at a voltage under load just below 1.6V and lasted 3 hours at three bars; an additional 5 hours at two bars; and another 3.5 hours before flashing the low-battery indicator, which lasted less than 30 minutes. Sennheiser states that G3s with supplied alkaline batteries give 8 hours of operating time. My test revealed that this brings us just to the point where the battery-remaining bar enters the one-bar range. With alkaline batteries, the bars corresponded nicely to the manual's suggestion that three bars = 100%; two bars = 70%; and one bar = 30%, although it should probably read three bars =70%-100%; two bars = 30%-70%; and one bar = <30%.
I then tested a pair of Duracell Ultra Digital batteries. I read an account from a user on the same DVcreators forum that a Duracell rep told him that Duracell PROCELLs were the same as the regular CopperTop Batteries, but the rep "recommended using the Duracell Ultra battery, which has a 50% longer life, which would be ideal for high-drain devices." Surprisingly, the Ultras have the same discharge profile for the first 8 hours but had a shorter life onward. I attribute much of that to the fact that the Ultras were set to expire in March 2015 while the CopperTops were an entire year newer with a March 2016 expiration date; also the transmitters are not what you would consider a high-drain device, such as a camera flash or a remote-controlled vehicle.
NiMH batteries come in two varieties, and, although they share the NiMH designation, they perform differently. Regular NiMH rechargeable batteries are rated in mAh (million-ampere hours), and they're the modern replacement for NiCad batteries, which suffered from a memory effect that reduced subsequent capacity if not properly discharged and recharged. The higher the mAh rating, the longer a battery is supposed to last.
My testing revealed that the starting voltage of NiMH batteries is initially lower than that of alkaline batteries-all my test NiMH batteries started at about 1.4V-but unlike alkaline batteries that spend 40% of the time in the two-bar range, NiMH batteries spend 70% of the time in the two-bar range.
So calculating battery life using the remaining bars would not be a fair comparison for the alkaline batteries, or the user, and I decided to calculate useful life as the point in which only 30% of the battery charge remains. This meant running the battery until it reached the voltage cutoff point-and doing a bit of math to find the equivalent point.
The problem with NiMH batteries is that they discharge relatively quickly in storage. While alkaline batteries retain 85% of their initial capacity after 5 years, NiMH batteries will lose 25% of their charge in a month and 80% of their charge in only 6 months. So a new type of NiMH battery was developed. These are commonly known as low self-discharge (LSD) models or precharged rechargeable batteries. SANYO Eneloops are the most common brand. I have been using these batteries for 2 years. They retain their charge much longer between uses, so they are great for last-minute situations when you don't have the time to top off traditional NiMH batteries.
I continued my testing with a fresh set of Eneloops that were rated at 2,100 mAh. Right away I could see that the discharge rate was much different from that of the alkalines. The Eneloop batteries spent very little time at three bars, due to the lower nominal voltage of rechargeable batteries-only 1 hour. But when the batteries were fully discharged and I calculated the 30% remaining mark, the Eneloops equaled the Duracell pair.
A word of caution when using NiMH batteries: Because the battery-remaining meter is calibrated to an alkaline discharge slope, once the bar goes to one, the time remaining is much shorter with an NiMH than with an alkaline. And batteries should be changed as soon as possible.
Other Battery OptionsI also came across a costly Sennheiser rechargeable battery option, the BA 2015. The company claims the unit's battery life is "comparable to non-rechargeable batteries," and I decided to see just what "comparable" meant in this case. I was quickly disappointed.
After only 30 minutes, the display showed two bars and reached the 30% remaining mark in only 6 hours, indicating that it provides only 75% of the capacity of alkaline batteries. Overall, at $300 for a pair of batteries and a charger, this battery was both the most expensive and shortest lasting.
Unlike all the other batteries, which are single AA cylinders, the BA 2015 is a pair joined with a plastic shell and requires its own charger. Granted, the charger can charge the battery packs on their own or while inserted in the new G3s, using the outside charging contacts. But the fact remains that this solution was too costly, proprietary, and of too limited durability to be practical.
I then moved on to a pair of batteries offered by German battery manufacturer Ansmann, the NiMH 2850 Energy and the LSD NiMH 2500 Max E. I had a feeling that these models would end up with the best performance-they had the highest mAh ratings-and my tests validated this. Both batteries bested all the others I tested with 10 and 9 hours, respectively, before they hit the 30% remaining mark.
So my conclusion is that NiMH batteries can outperform alkaline batteries. In my tests, the LSD models performed very well despite their lower mAh ratings, and they hold their charge much better between uses, so I am comfortable recommending them over the traditional NiMH models, which need to be topped off before each use.
The RechargeablesWhen I switched to using rechargeable batteries exclusively, I quickly realized that I would also need to upgrade my battery chargers both in quantity and quality. Inexpensive wall chargers are generally limited to two or four batteries at a time. So if you have more than one device that uses AA batteries, your charger needs will increase. In order to properly maintain a rechargeable battery and ensure that it stays as close to capacity for as long as possible, it's important to use a smart charger.
Chargers use one method or a variety of methods to calculate when a battery is full. Basic models simply use a timer that assumes that all batteries are discharged, which is rarely the case, and charges for a set time. Unfortunately, this method can be very harmful to the battery, as overcharging creates too much heat and can damage the battery. Smart models use a combination of temperature and a delta-V calculation, which is a characteristic that NiMH batteries exhibit that the battery voltage will drop 20mV when fully charged, triggering the charger to switch off or change to a trickle-charge mode.
Many smart chargers do more than just charge a group of batteries. Even when in the same device, batteries don't always have identical voltages or discharge at the same rate, so you want to select a charger that charges each battery independently. And although NiMH batteries don't exhibit a memory effect, over time if they're not occasionally conditioned (discharged and recharged), NiMHs develop crystalline formations that reduce their battery life. Because it is possible to reverse the polarity of a battery that has been completely discharged, it is best to use a smart charger with a built-in condition mode to keep your batteries in top shape.
I tested a smart-charger model, the Ansmann Energy 8 Plus, and was impressed with its performance. The smart charger can charge six AA or AAA batteries at a time or up to four C- or D-cell batteries, plus two 9V batteries. Each battery is independently charged, and the status is displayed with its own LED light that flashes or is solid in red or green. Although it sounds complicated, the five mode-decipher keys are printed on the top of the charger. While the Ansmann model lacks sophisticated displays and the ability to change the charge voltage from the default of 1,000 mA (about 2.5 hours for a 2,600 mAh battery) or force a discharge or refresh, a microprocessor detects when a battery needs to be refreshed and initiates this cycle automatically.
Originally, I planned on reviewing two battery chargers for this article, and in fact I did. But just before this article went to print, one of the battery chargers (not the Ansmann) overheated, caused the charger to melt, and started smoking. So while I won't be discussing that debacle any further in this article, you can read about it on my blog: www.shawn lam.ca/blog/battery-charger-meltdown.For more details on battery performance in the tests I did, see the Voltage Under Load chart (below).
Recharged!In my business I'm proud to report that during the month of November 2009, I saved 110 AA batteries from going to the landfill by simply using rechargeable batteries instead of alkaline batteries in my wireless microphones and Litepanels Micro LED light. Imagine how much of a difference we could make if we all stopped using single-use batteries and switched to rechargeable NiMH batteries.
In a world where switching to environmentally friendly alternatives usually means reduced performance, rechargeable NiMH batteries are the rare exception that actually deliver improved performance.

The Maple Leafs announced on Wednesday afternoon that they had come to terms on a two year entry-level contract with 22 year old free agent forward Marcel Mueller. Mueller is a 6'4 212 lb power forward who has spent the past 4 seasons playing against men in the top German league. He had a terrific '09-'10 breakout campaign that saw him record 56 points in 53 games played, good for 13th overall in league scoring.
Although it has Mueller has been rumored to be a target of NHL teams for a couple of seasons now, the recent transfer agreement reached by the DEL and NHL in late June has allowed Marcel to be officially pursued by NHL clubs.
He is described as a powerful, two-way winger who excels along the boards and in front of the net as he uses his large frame and long reach to shield the puck very effectively. He's a good skater with intriguing offensive upside and an excellent shot that should translate into goal scoring ability at the NHL level.
Mueller is a physical player who forechecks very well, loves to hit, and has the ability to win consistently win pucks in the corners. He certainly doesn't shy away from the rough stuff, finishing with a team high 122 PIM's, good for 6th highest in the entire DEL. He's a reliable defensive player who even spent some time on the blueline for the injury-ravaged Cologne Sharks this past season.
Most recently, Mueller impressed on the international stage with strong showings for the German national team at the Olympics and at the World Hockey Championships, where he displayed strong puck cycling ability and willingness to drive to the net.
Mueller's age, size, polished skillset and years of experience against high level competition should place him in a position to play in the NHL relatively quickly, perhaps even earning a couple games next season.

SAN CLEMENTE – Hobie Surf Shop stopped just short of putting on a parade down Avenida Del Mar to celebrate Rachael Tilly nearly winning a world surfing title at age 15.
The surf shop at 151 Avenida Del Mar tossed a Friday night party for the San Clemente High School surfer from Capistrano Beach, the crowd spilling out onto the sidewalk.
Tilly traveled to Peru in September, earning a silver medal in the ISA World Longboard Championships despite coming down seriously ill during the competition. She emerged as runner-up to Simone Robb, a mother of two from South Africa, in the women's division.
"I'm excited that Hobie was able to put it on," Tilly said after Friday night's party, "and everyone showing up and just supporting me. That was one of my first times signing autographs for people."
She leaves Nov. 14 for Hainan Island, China, to compete in the Association of Surfing Professionals' world-title longboard contest, riding the Rachael Tilly signature model surfboard that Hobie markets in its stores. Hobie shaper Terry Martin, an industry icon, perfected the design for her before his death from cancer in 2012. One of the boards is displayed in the window at Hobie's shop.
It's one of two Hobie shops in downtown San Clemente. Friday's party doubled as a celebration of a recent revamping of the two stores so the one at 151 Del Mar is devoted to women's surf gear and apparel while the one at 100 S. El Camino Real is for men's surf gear and apparel.

Some guys never grow up — and Danko Jones intends to be one of them.
Unlike artists who want to evolve and mature from album to album, the hard-driving Canadian rocker plans to sing power-chord odes to sex, parties and rock 'n' roll as long as he can.
"I don't want to grow up in this forum," says the Toronto singer-guitarist from a rare day at home. "When bands grow up, they get bad. The thing I love about some of my favourite bands is that they never evolve. AC/DC and Motörhead and The Ramones and Slayer stick to their story. When they ask Angus Young about AC/DC's new album, he says, 'We don't have a new album; we just have another album.' That's how I'd like to see our band."
Others may not share his view — especially after hearing his power trio's recently released sixth album Rock and Roll is Black and Blue. While anchored by the usual array of two-fisted guitar-driven rockers with titles like Legs and I Don't Care, the disc also showcases Jones' poppier, more melodic side on numbers like Just a Beautiful Day, In Your Arms and Always Away. In keeping with the latter, the overdriven Jones is already gearing up for another busy year — along with recording and near-constant touring (especially in Europe and Scandinavia), he pens an online column and hosts a podcast, while the band is still promoting their recent DVD doc Bring on the Mountain and the just-published oral history Too Much Trouble. But he still made time to chat about facing the music, sticking to his guns and why he won't reveal how grown up he really is.
Let's start with that album title. It does seem like your brand of hard rock has taken a beating lately.
That's exactly what it means. It's a title we came up with in like, Year 1 of our band way back when. We never had a chance to use it until now, but it still seems appropriate. Hard rock isn't even the fifth most popular genre of music these days. Pop, electronica, rap, country, even metal is even bigger than rock 'n' roll. And each one has its own face, like Jay-Z or Lady Gaga or Metallica or Skrillex or whoever the country star is today.
Do you want to be the face of rock 'n' roll?
S—, definitely. And I wanna be the face of a genre that's bigger than Lady Gaga or Jay-Z. But everybody who puts music out in the public forum wants to be that. If they say they don't — if they say they're happy with their little corner — they're lying.
Do you feel a sense of duty to defend rock?
Well, it's really just the only kind of music I personally can play with confidence. Hard rock is the music I do best and which I know best. So I stick with it. It's a hard go in Canada, for sure. You need to venture out of the country to stay afloat, unfortunately. But fortunately, there's not just one other country that wants to hear it, there are dozens. So we are very busy, and Canada sometimes has to take a backseat. Over the years, we've paid for it — our profile in this country has simmered down quite a bit because we're not in people's faces.
While this album has its share of songs about sex, there seems to be more emotional depth in some of the lyrics.
Yeah, there's a couple that are pretty personal. There's one that's really personal. But they've always been personal to a certain degree. I can't really invest in lyrics if it doesn't come from a real place or an experience or a moment. It has to be about something or some experience with somebody.
It also feels like you're singing more this time, as opposed to screaming.
Oh yeah, I don't deny that. It's been a natural progression over the years. Part of it is a little more confidence on my part. I didn't think we could really pull this hard rock s— off if I wasn't screaming. But now, I like singing. Even so, the melody and the singing and all that, I don't view it as me growing up. I just view it as me getting more confident with my voice but not watering it down. I'm still all about balls with the songs. That was my main concern; does this song kick my ass? And if it does, then we proceed.
Still, this album does feel more mature. How old are you?
Um, I'm somewhere between 25 and 50.
Seriously, you're going to play coy? OK, I'm going to say you're 50.
Go for it. No, don't do that. Look, it's not like I'm embarrassed by it. I really just like to keep some things private. You can do the math. We've been around for 17 years and I didn't start the band when I was 15. You can look at me and try to guess my age. That's the thing; people can't. Nobody can. I always have people talking down to me even though they're younger than me. And when they find out I'm as old as I am, they cannot believe it. So I'm going to work that.

People living near the plant have sued Whirlpool over the contamination. City Administrator Ray Gosack said Wednesday that the report only shows that the plume has been stable for the last year.
The Southwest Times Record reported trichloroethylene, or TCE, seeped into groundwater at the plant and spread to an adjacent neighborhood. The chemical was used as a solvent and is now a known carcinogen.
Property records show affected land includes 55 parcels, including 47 residences and three commercial sites.
Consulting firm Environ sampled 66 wells in the fall and 39 in the spring.

2. Bring the thread down to the slot at the bottom of the tension mechanism. It may look solid, but there is a cut or slot to bring the thread up into. Pull this up.
3. It should now hook through the small hook end of the spring that is visible. It is like a small wire.
4. Now, pull the thread up to the arm. You don't "thread" it, you slide the thread into it through the slot.
5. Take your thread down to your needle. On one of my machines, it has a little dent at the bottom to help guide the thread. Another has nothing. From here, it's just like any other, pull thread through the guide on the needle. Needle threads left to right.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help. I bought a Rotary treadle a couple of weeks ago and haven't found much on the Internet about them. Maybe it there and I just don't know how to find it. Anyway, now I know I am threading it correctly. I can't get it to pick up the bobbin thread though.

Dale Earnhardt was known for taking risks. He kept it old-school -- and many respected him for it. But after his death at the Daytona 500 in 2001, NASCAR officials decided that driver safety was more important than preference. In 2002, it mandated the use of a head and neck support (HANS) device to prevent a driver's unrestrained head from moving forward during a front-on collision while their body remained strapped to their seat.
According to Thomas Gideon, senior director of Safety, Research & Development of NASCAR, about six drivers were wearing a HANS device in the Daytona 500 when Dale Earnhardt crashed. That day was a turning point in the way the sport looked at the once laughed-at device.
"There was a major change in the way everybody looked at what they did," he said.

If you look back to those long summer afternoons of reading during your childhood with longing, this book is for you. Three years after losing her beautiful and talented older sister, Anne-Marie, to cancer, Nina Sankovitch decided to do something she had long dreamed of doing, making books central to her life again. Of course as the mother of three teens and one preteen - all boys - she didn't have much free time. But from Oct. 28, 2008 to the same date in 2009 Nina read and read and read some more.
In the intervening years after her sister's death, Nina had kept fiendishly busy, driving, cooking, cleaning, heading committees, and organizing literary projects--all the myriad duties of raising a family and being involved in her Connecticut community. But each day she felt guilty to be alive because her sister had died. This lovely book is both a tribute to a sister, and a memoir of their relationship. It's also a narrative about how concentrating on reading finally healed Nina, so that she was eager to go forward again.
Nina resurrected (reupholstered) the big purple chair that one of their cats had made its own by spraying on it. Here in this regal chair for two, three, even four hours a day, Nina both lost and found herself through books.
Besides telling Anne-Marie's story, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair also relates the story of her father, Anatole, who lost three aunts and uncles in a shooting during WW II. All were shot in his family's kitchen in Poland while their terrified mother lay upstairs in her sick bed. Anatole also suffered from TB after WW II and spent over two years in a sanatorium in the mountains recovering after the war. Nina compares her year of reading to those years of rest and recuperation that her father experienced there.
Sundays, she set aside for mysteries, but otherwise Nina tackled some hard books, many in translation: from Balzac to Nu Nu Yi to Chimanda Ngozi Adichie, as well as books by Chris Cleave, Anne Tyler, and Junot Diaz. She also found herself discussing books with friends, acquaintances and ever strangers (on her website) because talking about books allowed her to speak about everything: death, family, fidelity, war, travels, etc.
For anyone at a loss for what to read next, Nina included a list of the 365 special books that grounded her in the world again.
Another book that describes the pleasures of a year's reading is So Many Books, So Little Time by Sara Nelson.

Rated 1 out of 5 by GNS3 from New directions need to be changed back I have bought these croissants many times for my family and as gifts. I recently bought them and cooked within a week of arrival. This time I noticed the directions did not say that the croissants should be left out to rise for 9 hours. I was a little skeptical but decided to follow the directions as indicated. The croissants were terrible compared to the fluffy, flakey croissants I have come to expect. Please revise the directions so others don't have subpar croissants; if the recipe has changed and the directions aren't the problem, you can be sure I will not purchase these anymore. That would be too bad because this used to be one of the best products on the market.Date published: 2017-11-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Redford from Absolutely out of this world wonderful!!! I have been ordering croissants from Williams Sonoma for many years.I have always ordered the plain croissants but decided to try a combination of plain and chocolate.The chocolate croissants were absolutely amazing!!! I loved them so much that I sent a box to my Grandaughter in the Air Force in N.C.She was surprised and thrilled too!!! A customer for life!!!Date published: 2016-12-09Rated 5 out of 5 by EllenU from Classic and Chocolate croissants This is a huge hit in and out of our house. Everyone raves about the taste and quality. Also on numerous occasions, have sent this out as a housewarming gift and as a gift to new moms ... It has always been well received and much appreciated.Date published: 2016-07-09Rated 5 out of 5 by Firehawk from These are the best ever!!! I have ordered these croissants many times because I truly have never had better croissants. Even in Paris. It's so fun to put out those little, frozen morsels, with the anticipation of what you'll find in the morning. Then, in the morning, you'll find that they have grown 3 or 4 times their size. When you bake them, they grow even more. And when you sink your teeth into them, they melt in your mouth with the most increasable flavors you can imagine. I especially love the chocolate croissants. They look like they have way too little chocolate, but when you bite into them, you get wonderful chocolate in every bite. They are amazing croissants and I would recommend them to everyone who enjoys these types of pastries.Date published: 2016-01-20Rated 5 out of 5 by JRB717 from Perfect breakfast for weekend guests When I put the frozen croissants on the pans to rise overnight... they looked a little stingy. But the next morning, they were BIG! Baked perfectly. Delicious!Date published: 2016-01-18Rated 5 out of 5 by connie702 from Excellent Croissants These are the best croissants!! Very light and flakey. BUTTERY not greasy. So easy to prepare,followed the directions on package. Puffed up much more than I expected. Made them for Christmas morning and my entire family loved them! Will be on our Christmas morning menu from now on.Date published: 2016-01-14Rated 5 out of 5 by LarryJoe from As good as ever The family enjoyed the croissants as much as before. The quality remains high and preparation is easy. They payoff is superb!Date published: 2016-01-13Rated 4 out of 5 by Jancancook from Nice morning treat Beautiful and buttery croissants/pain au chocolat to have freshly baked for breakfast. If your house is cold at night, place them in a slightly warmed oven in the morning so they can rise more. Also I found if they were covered only with parchment paper as the instructions recommend, their surfaces get dried and this seems to hinder the rise.Date published: 2015-12-10

Stearns named assistant general manager
By Brian McTaggart / MLB.com
Stearns, 27, spent last season as the Indians' director of baseball operations, assisting in all aspects of baseball operations with a focus on contract negotiations, salary analysis, team strategy and roster management.
"David was highly recommended by several industry experts," Luhnow said. "His experience working at Major League Baseball, as well as with three different clubs, will be an asset for us."
Stearns joined the Indians a year ago after working three seasons for Major League Baseball's Commissioner's Office, serving as manager of labor relations when he departed. He also was a member of MLB's negotiating committee on the most recent Collective Bargaining Agreement and assisted clubs through contract negotiations, the salary arbitration process and Rule 4 Draft signings.
Stearns, a graduate of Harvard, also has experience working in the baseball operations departments for the New York Mets, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Major League Baseball's Arizona Fall League.

Update: Prosecution rests in Adam Lee Hall murder trial
SPRINGFIELD -- The prosecution has rested its case in the murder trial of Adam Lee Hall.
Berkshire District Attorney David F. Capeless presented his final witness in Hampden Superior Court on Thursday after nearly two weeks of testimony in the case.
The final witness, FBI Special Agent Eric Perry, testified to analysis of cellphone records and a technique called drive testing that he performed as part of the murder investigation.
Perry, a member of the agency's Cellular Analysis Survey Team, alleged his results corroborated testimony from prior prosecution witnesses.
The agent said by using phone records and software that ties GPS coordinates to specific cell towers used by a phone he was able to trace the general area where Hall's phone was on Aug. 27, 2011. He said about 9 p.m. that night the direction of travel was from the area of the Hells Angels clubhouse in Lee to the area of Steven Hinman's home in Lenox. In previous testimony it was alleged Hall left the clubhouse, drove to Hinman's house, where he had stashed some guns and then drove to Caius Veiovis' Pittsfield apartment, where he was seen cleaning one of the weapons.
Perry also testified he was able to track Hall's phone from Pittsfield to Canaan, N.Y., the next day, allegedly corroborating David Casey's testimony that Hall had come to his house and scared him into helping bury the remains of the three victims.
The agent said he was able to determine Hall's phone was in the area of the burial site in Becket and that he received texts from the phone of David Chalue around the time Casey alleged he and Hall were burying the bodies.
The first message sent just before noon reads: "Hey what's going on?"
The second message, from about 12:30 p.m. reads: "Dude, I'm ready to leave. I don't know what to tell you."
Capeless alleged that Chalue was acting as a look out while Hall and Casey buried the remains.
Under cross-examination by Hall's attorney, Alan J. Black, Perry said he couldn't say who was using the phones at the time or the exact location where the phones were being used.
The defense's case began with testimony from Dr. Jonathan Arden, a forensic pathologist who has a private consulting practice. He previously served as chief medical examiner for Washington, D.C. and as second in command to the chief medical examiner in New York City he told the jury.
Using autopsy reports, photographs, toxicology reports, the forensic anthropologist's report and various police-related reports he concluded that the dismemberment injuries of the three victims happened after death. He said he also concluded that Chadwell's abdominal injury happened after death.
Arden based this primarily on there being a lack of blood at the wound sites -- he referred to it as hemorrhaging -- which he said you would expect to see if they were sustained while the victims were alive.
He said he also he didn't find any evidence of torture. Neither did he find wounds consistent with .223 projectiles or with a hammer or any that could have been made with the spiked pieces of wood police say they found at Veiovis' apartment.
The toxicology reports showed the victims were positive for alcohol and the breakdown components for cocaine, he told the jury.
Under cross-examination by Capeless, Arden said he did not examine the remains in person, or consult with the medical examiner or forensic anthropologist. He issued his report about three days ago, after testimony from the prosecution's experts, he acknowledged.
The DA questioned the doctor on why he hadn't mentioned an abdominal wound on Frampton that was similar to Chadwell's. Arden answered he was writing a consulting report and not an autopsy report.
He conceded that being forced to watch a friend being shot, stabbed and beaten could be construed as torture and that decomposition can mask or obscure hemorrhage.
He said Frampton's abdominal wound probably occurred before he was sliced through crossways at the torso and that gunshot wounds to his arms could be considered defensive "in a very general sense."
The defense's case continues Friday. It is expected that the jury will begin deliberations Monday.

Yesterday's clouds blew through overnight, as if Colorado cleared its throat and hawked a big gray luger toward Kansas. Ross Powers and Nicola Thost took advantage of that weather and a huge pipe to win the Vans Triple Crown of Snowboarding halfpipe at Breckenridge.
Halfpipe final day was straight clear and cold. The women's semifinal round was underway when I slid into my ten-dollar parking spot (outdoor, unheated). All I know is that the pipe was perfect and fast and the crowd was already assembled.
The semis were the first place that yesterday's qualifiers met the top-seeded riders. Catherine Nieves of Vermont held her own in the deep waters of main-event talent, ending up on top after the best of two runs.
Other women who advanced to the final included: Lori Glazier (Whistler), Minna Hesso, and big-pipe badass Nicola Thost ( Germany).
The men's semi started off with a practice session, the crowd getting a taste of the insanity to come. There were two heats of twenty, and only twenty spots in the final. How'd you like to get thrown into a heat with the lofty likes of Todd Richards (he won last year's event), John Sommers, Tommy Czeschin, Jussi Oksanen, Xaver Hoffman, and, oh say, Ross Powers? Good luck; that's not even all the rippers in one of the heats.
Aside from the big names, there were a number of lesser known riders going off. Actually, world-class riders were coming out of the woodwork, all of them at a level we rarely get to see. A pair of Japanese riders were the biggest surprise; both Michihiko Yoshina and Takaru Nakai turned heads with big upside down tricks.
Shaun White continued to impress, surprise, and prove my all wrong. He stepped his riding up to, not only the size of the pipe, but the stature of his peers. He nailed all his runs with smooth, pretty much flawless moves, and landed his puny butt in the finals with the world's elite. After the semis, I sat down with Shaun for a minute.
What do you think of the event so far?
Shaun (read in high-pitched voice): It's great, huge pipe. One of the best ones I've ridden so far.
Have you ridden pipes this big before, at Hood or anything?
Shaun: Yeah, at Hood I rode one that was about twice as big as this; it was scary.
What's it take to get up and out of a pipe like this?
Shaun: You need fast wax. You gotta be amped and ready to haul.
What's your plan for the final?
Shaun: I'm just gonna stick a clean run and try to go off, a frontside 720, backside McTwist.
Also moving through the men's semis were Gian Simmen (luckily, after all the bragging I've been doin' about him) and Ross Powers. They both pulled it off on their second run, after not having a very good first run. Not in the finals were Kier Dillon and Lael Gregory. I didn't know Lael before, but had seen him boosting all weekend in practice. While he'd never ridden a pipe as as smooth and consistant as this one, Lael went down hard on his second semi-final run, breaking his nose (for the seventh time, and fracturing some teeth. "I shouda just done a straight air, but I wanted to do a frontside seven and I got pitched into the flat bottom," Gregory said. "I don't know, brain fart."
Lael didn't make the finals unfortunately, but if he had, he would have ridden. "It's too good not to," he said.
Final round competition started at about 12:30. Fans lined the side of the course and filled the bleachers at the bottom near the judge's enclosed stand. Red Vans banners, red sunburned faces. The women started things off with a best of three runs format, perfect for taking chances and going off.
Lots of women rode well, but I can't really go on about anyone but Nicola Thost of Germany. Put it this way, after her first run Todd Richards was asking for a towel, saying he was ready to throw it in. Throughout the contest, Todd was one of the biggest fans, supporting the other riders by slapping the tail of his board on the wall of the pipe. Nicola threw down some big clean airs including a frontside 720 and big, stylie airs to fakie. It's not so much the tricks you do, but how you do them that makes the difference.
Other women did many of the same moves as Nicola, but not nearly as high or with as much style. I don't think any girl rider could argue with the results; it was that clear.
Often times, riders, other competitors do disagree with the judging. But among the top places, no one really debates. They're all really good, but even the crowd can generally tell who's killing it. The judging format at the Vans events is much different than that used at the Olympics, which makes it even cooler that Ross Powers and Gian Simmen (bronze and gold medalists respectively at the Nagano Olympics) were on top throughout the men's final.
That's the difference between good pros and truly top-level riders, they perform at the most crux time. After the first run, it was Gian in the lead with a score of 46.1, while Ross had a tough go of it at 25.55. But Ross progressively raised the bar and came through when he needed to most, putting together a second run that could've won any contest. He scored a 49.6.
Gian rallied to the beat of huge air, especially on his second hit–an air to fakie about ten or eleven feet out. He went straight from that into a switch inverted flip, so big that he'd already brought it around while still way over the lip. But neither he nor any other rider could touch Ross' near 50.
The places behind Ross and Gian switched hands over the course of the three runs as riders bettered themselves each time. Xaver Hoffman, Therry Brunner, and Jussi Oksanen backed up Gian on the Euro side of things, while guys like Tommy Czeschin and John Sommers made sure the home team wasn't overlooked. Tommy ended up nabbing the last podium spot next to first place (ten grand) Ross and third place (sixty five hundred bucks) Gian Simmen of Switzerland.
When it was all said and done, the sun was inching behind those same trees to the west and everybody and their brother dropped into the pipe, doing their best the live up to what they'd seen (most sucked of course).
Ross told me afterward that it was one of the funnest pipes he's ridden, with the new big trannys and everything. He was stoked on the level of the competition with many of the big Euro riders showing up. And, as we speak (as I write) Gian is headed to Denver–first stop, the record store. To pick up some new CDs? Gian wouldn't think about it; he's all about spinnin' vinyl.

Obama Directive Is Good News For Science Geeks
The Obama administration on Friday directed the federal government's largest agencies to give the public free access to scholarly articles that report the results of U.S.-funded research.
In a policy memo, the White House said it wants peer-reviewed final manuscripts to be made publicly available a year after they're published in journals.
The directive applies to articles about unclassified, U.S.-sponsored research. And it encompasses agencies that spend more than $100 million a year on research and development grants. . . . .

Man, the Fat Boys loved pizza. So it's only fitting that the remastered release of their 1984 debut hip hop album comes packaged in a pizza box.
Here's a great shot that was over on PizzaRules! where you can read on about the Fat Boys and their pizza obsession.
"Jailhouse Rap" is their most pizza-centric song and arguably one of their best (though as a rollerskating kid, I fully embraced "Wipeout"). This video features La Marionetta Pizzeria (closed over a decade ago) in Manhattan. I'm sure some of you Slice'rs out there remember it. Here's a video for a trip down memory lane:
Thanks to Andrew Janjigian for sending this along!

Huge panorama of Piz Cambrena, Piz Palü, Bellavista and Piz Zupo - from La Spedla ridge on Piz Bernina
|[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
La Spedla is the local name for the south ridge leading to the summit of Piz Bernina. In German, it's called the Spalla Grat. From Rifugio Marco e Rosa, the route begins on the glacier, but higher up it is a rocky ridge, grade III. Being on the end of the rope, between two steep sections, I had plenty of time to look around and take pictures as Hermann prepared to lead the next steep bit.
From left to right: Piz Cambrena (3606), Piz Palü (3900), Bellavista (3922) and Piz Zupo (3996).
Warning: the full picture is huge! I purposely posted this picture in great detail, in case anybody wants to look at the finer points, or print it. Besides, it will still be useful by the time we all have 100" screens ;-)

text: Alright. I was wondering if anyone knows what language Instant Messenger was written in. What I'm getting at is this: I want to find the file that checks if the program is running, and if it is, then it won't open a new window , it opens the one already running. See, I want to be able to find that file, and change it so that I can open multiple windows of Instant Messenger, and be logged on as different people at the same time. I know you can go to the website and use AIM Express, but I don't want to do it that way. Could someone please help me?

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by Agent Richard07, Jun 4, 2012.
Oh, it's not impossible. Just more difficult than the hulk films.
I can't see Angie Harmon as She Hulk. Even with her body painted green I don't want to bang her. That's a part of She Hulk for me. Do I want to bang her? The character in the comic? Yes. Angie Harmon? No. So no Angie Harmon as She Hulk. It's simple math to me.
Don't want to see She-Hulk at all. Don't want to see the franchise get diluted.
I don't know why CaptainCraig is getting a hard time for pointing out the obvious. Hollywood is sexist and ageist! A man in his 40s, 50s or 60s can play an action hero in a franchise but very few women get away with it. Yes, there are exceptions to the rule but by-and-large, it's only established actresses, such as Angelina Jolie or Milla Jojovich, or else actresses who are associated with a particular role (Sigourney in Alien, Hamilton in Terminator).
Harmon's career never really rose above direct-to-video (and I choose 'video' deliberately above DVD, because that was her era). She's more famous for her love life than anything else now. The odds of her being handed the lead in a franchise like this are too astronomical even for C-3PO to compute.
And don't compare it to RDJ getting the role of Iron Man. RDS was always regarded as a great actor, even when at his career nadir. Angie - not so much.
I didn't mean to say "Angie Harmon is a shoo-in for the role." I was just saying "It's not necessarily true that being in her late 30s would disqualify an actress for such a role, speaking in general terms." As you say, there are other factors that make her an unlikely choice (and there aren't many cases where just saying in the press that you want a role leads to getting that role), but that particular factor isn't a dealbreaker in and of itself.
Damn, I miss Angie from Law & Order...
^ Not you specifically, Christopher.
To be fair to CaptainCraig, he said Hollywood would not cast a 40 year old woman in the role. And I think he's right, unless some 40 year-old superstar expressed an interest in the role, it would go to a much younger woman (in the unlikely event that they ever made it).
People cite Milla and Angelina but look at how little we've heard from Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Famke Jansen, and the likes of late. Charlize Theron has two high-profile roles out at the minute but in one she's the villain (Snow White) and the other is an ensemble role, where the concept and the director are the real star (Prometheus).
that's what inspired this thread.
A 40year old actress... 39 year old Actress HAS expressed an interest in the character, but then Nick Cage has a standing demand to his agent that he be cast as all Superheroes.
Oh, were you just dovetailing?
What if Angie started off with some brand placement?
Maybe volunteer for a cover or two for the Avengers?
Besides She Hulk did some fine work with Howard the Duck in her time, and supposedly marvel is looking for a vehicle to get that drake off the ground.
Howard the Duck can only properly be played by Robert Blake in his 30s.
At least that's how I always saw it when I read the comics. Howard was Baretta in his hard-luck-bum disguise. As a duck.
Thank you CaptainDemotion the push back to the obvious baffled me as well.
A non action associated 40yr old actress was not going to be offered the part, if it ever became available in the near future.
Angie Harmon is the one who said she could show off her 36Cs in the role.
They don't look like Cs to me. More like Bs, assuming you're feeling generous.
Pics or it never happened!!
The sages of the internet say 34B...
...and here.
You gotta love the internet.
For a change I believe the motherfucking internet!
Who exactly is giving him a hard time? I've seen Captain Craig reacting like he's being given a hard time because people pointed out counter examples while he's just "shooting from the hip," but I've not seen anyone actually giving him a hard time yet, unless politely disagreeing with someone qualifies.
Well, I guess you can learn something new every day...
That's funny as hell.
The point is the She-Hulk is the big guns of the Marvel Universe.
She doesn't have the somewhat mis-shapen body that the Hulk does. Except for the size of her boobs she's pretty much normal shaped. Athletic certainly, but still pretty normal. Although some artists go for the female body-builder look for her, most go for athlete.
But, she's also seven feet tall! So some cgi is going to be involved. But I think it can be more of what was used in CA:TFA to do "Skinny Steve" rather than what they needed for the Hulk.
Actually my top choice for the role would be to go with Denise Masino, but since she's done soft-core porn it'll never happen.
For comic-book women, that is normal.
Officially, 6'7" but "variable."
A lot of that was forced perspective. Some was matting Chris Evans's head onto a smaller stand-in's body, and while it would be possible to find a real woman of suitable build, it might not be easy. The rest was done by digitally altering footage of Evans himself to make him look scrawnier.
However, it was limited to the first 20 minutes or so of the film, and one would expect She-Hulk (if they treat her at all authentically) to dominate the story more than that.
It remains a fact. Angie Harmon -- I'd hit it.
Separate names with a comma.

Census Worker Held Up At GunpointThursday, May 7th, 2009
Are 2010 Census Questionnaires now as valuable as cash? Apparently so! In all seriousness, it's terrible that the Census Bureau's field workers are falling victim to criminals while going about their business. Here's the report fro WTHR in Indiana:
Indianapolis – An armed man robbed a U.S. Census Bureau employee at gunpoint in an apartment complex on the northwest side.
"The guy comes up from behind and says, 'Give me your wallet'," said Michael McCord.
McCord stayed calm when a gunman surprised him as he went door to door at the Woods of Eagle Creek Apartments.
"I turned around and he showed me his gun, said he was serious and he wanted my wallet. So I gave it to him," McCord said.
As he walked from one building to the next, knocking on doors, his attacker walked up behind him. The gunman never became menacing, the 61-year-old McCord says, but he knew not to aggravate someone armed with a weapon.
"The gun implied that my life was threatened, so I assumed to just give it up rather than try to keep my 15 dollars," McCord said.
McCord says just before the suspect took off, he stopped him and asked him not to take everything.
"As he walked away, I said, 'Can you at least let me have my driver's license back?' and he handed it to me," McCord said.
McCord usually works and walks his census routes alone, but police say there's an advantage to having someone else with you.
"I encourage people to do it in pairs, that way you will still have two people instead of one," said IMPD Lt. Dawn Snyder.
The robbery didn't scare McCord from his job, in fact, he's already back at work.

text: Colt serial numbers?! I'm confused but it sounds like Colt Manufacturing is even more confused. I bought a Trooper Sunday. The guy that sold it said it was manufactured in 1959. Proofhouse.com said it was manufactured in 1960 I think (I assume the serial number paired up with a year is the first serial number for that year and not the last serial number for that year. That right?). So I called Colt yesterday to find out which year is right and the guy said it was manufactured in 1969(?!?!?!)...unless there was a letter after the serial number. He told me that if I find a letter to call back. So I looked last night, found a letter, and called back this morning. The lady said the gun was manufactured in 1960 and that the letter has nothing to do with the date of manufacture. So, what the heck is going on at Colt? Is there a definitive source for finding the year of manufacture of a Colt Trooper revolver?


text: Submitted by rscholfield on Thu, 2013-02-21 16:31 Idaho Trout Unlimited Vote Up Down +932 + dsc_0246_1.jpg By Jerry Myers The Salmon River country of Idaho lost a great friend recently when Hans Koenig passed away suddenly. Hans was the project director for the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Program, and he was a "collaborator." Collaboration is where two or more people or organizations work together creatively to realize shared goals, by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus. Most collaboration requires leadership—and Hans Koenig was an outstanding leader. In the Salmon River valley, those of us who had the pleasure of working with Hans understood that leadership and collaboration were built into the fiber of the man. He combined rare skills, experience and commitment to conservation to create a better future for our communities. Central Idaho is certainly not exempt from the economic stresses that face our nation. We are confronted with our own unique challenges as we work forward to a more hopeful future. Small, rural communities tied to land- and water-related resources have relatively little political clout. There just aren't a lot of us voters living on this huge, beautiful and remote landscape—exactly the reason most of us choose to live here. National leadership is embroiled in partisanship, neutralizing good legislation. While this stagnation of leadership is frustrating and potentially harmful to our nation, it has compelled us in the rural West to create our own leadership. Those of us who want to keep moving forward are building our own pathways. We are forming partnerships with other stakeholders to pound out our own management plans, resolve our own problems, address local challenges with home-brewed solutions and continue working from the bottom up. Hans understood the value of working with competing interests and championed the collaborative process. He raised the bar during his too brief a time at the helm. The Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Program will continue to provide a prime example of how that process is bringing together ranchers and fish restoration partners to get commonsense conservation done on the ground. It wasn't always so. Historically these two seemingly diverse interest groups were often at odds. Too often in the past, it was cattle vs. fish. Confrontation and defensive posturing were getting us nowhere, and we were slowly losing control of our local resources. Two decades ago, leaders in Lemhi and Custer Counties representing both of these important economic interests decided to work together and attempt to stay out of federal court. Collaboration was not easy nor was it quick but it was, and is, a process that more and more Westerners are beginning to use to design their own homegrown futures. The collaborative process is working, and it will continue to work because many of us have lived the success. Head shakes are now more often giving way to handshakes. Having spent my entire life in the fish arena, I smile as my adult kids return to the valley to attempt a livelihood in agriculture. Wow!! Hans, we will miss you. Your wit helped remind us all that this blessed area is about much more than cows and fish. People that created the problems can also remedy the conflicts. You taught us to listen to one another. In your memory, we will all attempt to do more of that. Jerry Myers is Upper Salmon Project Manager for Trout Unlimited. Log in or register to post comments

A metro Detroit department store is getting a new name, but customers can expect service to remain the same.
The three Parisian stores located in Rochester Hills, Livonia and Clinton will be changed to Carson's, according to The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc.
The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. used the Parisian name under a license from Belk, Inc. from which they bought the stores in 2006. The license for that name expires at the end of the month.
"We believe the conversion will be seamless for our customers, as we are merely changing the store nameplate to Carson's. Our Parisian customers in the Detroit area will find our outstanding merchandise offerings and our commitment to providing excellent service remain unchanged," said Brendan Hoffman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. operates 273 stores in 24 states.
According to the company, the stores offer a broad variety of national and private brand fashion apparel and accessories for women, men and children, as well as cosmetics and home furnishings.

text: "To read Angelou's book ... without being moved would seem impossible. Here, this American poet, actress, civil rights activist and TV producer-director recalls her pilgrimage to Ghana in the early 1960s. Ostensibly, Angelou went there so that her son could study at the University of Ghana to put him (and herself) in touch with long-imagined ancestral roots. Sadly, she was disillusioned by the subtle rejection of native Ghanaians. Fighting this painful sense of not belonging, she plunged into activities; appearing in Genet's play The Blacks with black American performers, she went briefly to Berlin, where she underwent a searing experience dining in the home of a wealthy crypto-Nazi German. Other encounters, even the more pleasurable ones, hardly mitigate the homesickness and hurt underlying Angelou's poignant recall, which includes a meeting with Malcolm X and her visit to a village where, centuries ago, black men sold other black men, women and children to white slave traders."Publishers Weekly

Basel Convention on the transfer and disposal of dangerous waste
The Basel Convention lays down rules to control, at an international level, transboundary movements of wastes hazardous to human health and the environment, and their disposal.
Council Decision 93/98/EEC of 1 February 1993 on the conclusion, on behalf of the Community, of the Convention on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal (Basel Convention).
Council Decision 97/640/EC of 22 September 1997 on the approval, on behalf of the Community, of the amendment to the Convention on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal (Basel Convention), as laid down in Decision III/1 of the Conference of the Parties.
The EEC approves the Convention on the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal. The Convention came into force for the EEC on 7 February 1994.
The Convention (text attached as annex) aims, in introducing a system for controlling the export, import and disposal of hazardous wastes and their disposal, to reduce the volume of such exchanges so as to protect human health and the environment.
It defines hazardous wastes. Each party may add to the list other wastes listed as hazardous in its national legislation.
A transboundary movement is any movement of hazardous wastes or other wastes from an area under the national jurisdiction of one State to or through an area under the national jurisdiction of another State, or to or through an area not under the national jurisdiction of any State, provided at least two States are involved in the movement.
General obligations:
- it is prohibited to export or import hazardous wastes or other wastes to or from a non-party State;
- no wastes may be exported if the State of import has not given its consent in writing to the specific import;
- information about proposed transboundary movements must be communicated to the States concerned, by means of a notification form, so that they may evaluate the effects of the proposed movements on human health and the environment;
- transboundary movements of wastes must only be authorised where there is no danger attaching to their movement and disposal;
- wastes which are to be the subject of a transboundary movement must be packaged, labelled and transported in conformity with international rules, and must be accompanied by a movement document from the point at which a movement commences to the point of disposal;
- any party may impose additional requirements that are consistent with the provisions of the Convention.
The Convention establishes notification procedures regarding:
- transboundary movements between parties;
- transboundary movements from a party through the territory of States which are not parties.
It sets out those cases where there is a duty to re-import hazardous wastes, especially if they have been the subject of illegal trafficking.
Parties to the Convention must cooperate with each other in order to improve and achieve environmentally sound management of hazardous wastes and other wastes. The aim is to implement all practical measures to ensure that wastes covered by the Convention are handled in such a way that protection of human health and the environment from their harmful effects is guaranteed.
Parties may enter into bilateral, multilateral or regional agreements or arrangements regarding transboundary movements of hazardous wastes, with parties or non-parties, provided that these do not derogate from the principles defined by the Convention.
A Conference of the Parties is established and is charged with overseeing the effective implementation of the Convention.
Provisions on the settlement of disputes between Parties.
Under Decision II/1 the Parties provided for an amendment to the Convention to immediately prohibit transboundary movements of hazardous wastes destined for final disposal and prohibit as from 01.01.1998 transboundary movements of hazardous wastes destined for recovery operations from States listed in Annex VII to the Convention, namely, "Members of the European Organisation for Cooperation and Development (OECD), the European Community and Liechtenstein", to States not listed in Annex VII to the Convention. This amendment to the Convention and Annex VII have not yet entered into force for lack of sufficient ratification.
Entry into force - Date of expiry

Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on shipments of waste [Official Journal L 190, 12.7.2006]. This Regulation will replace Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 from 12 July 2007. It is designed to strengthen, simplify and spell out the current control procedures for waste shipments, thus reducing the risk of shipments of uncontrolled waste. It also incorporates into Community legislation the amendments to the waste lists annexed to the Basel Convention and the revision adopted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2001.

The hard men from sin city
The razzmatazz is long gone. Hafey, Barassi and Roos forged a club that's tough and true.
AS A bloke who played more than 100 games for the Swans during the first half of my footy career, I was delighted to see my old club qualify for another grand final. I watched the game at home with a few friends and, towards the end of the match, found myself thinking about how much the club has changed, and how much it has hardened up, since I moved with my South Melbourne mates to the harbour city.
It was pretty much just one big party when we first relocated to Sydney. We were constantly doing promotional events and trying to get the club some much-needed publicity.
We had dancing girls in skimpy costumes at our season launch at the Opera House. The next day photos were published in the papers of Barry Round and our full-forward John Roberts hoisting a footy-gear-clad model onto their shoulders, with the harbour bridge in the background. I remember thinking: ''How good is this!?''
It was all about glitz and glamour, and we had no shortage of high-profile support. Even newly elected prime minister Bob Hawke jumped on board as our No. 1 ticket holder. He wasn't hard enough to stick with us though.
Some of the parties we had were extraordinary and one stands out in my memory. It happened after we had beaten Essendon (captained by my brother Terry) by one point at the SCG in the first round of the 1983 season. We were invited to celebrate our victory at a function held in the palatial gardens surrounding the mansion of Lady Mary Fairfax.
Lady Mary made sure her staff locked the doors of the mansion - she certainly didn't want a heap of footy players running around inside - but they went all out for us and had tents set up and the pool was floodlit and full of red-and-white balloons.
The boys were getting stuck into the beers and next thing one of the lads was in the pool. It was Greg Smith - fully clothed. Greg was a bushie from Ardlethan, which is not that far from Ungarie, and he was a real larrikin. Mayhem broke out when he went in the pool. Security came running from everywhere and one of the boys had to jump in and get him out of the water.
There was still plenty of razzle-dazzle around the place when Tommy Hafey took over as coach in 1986. Geoffrey Edelsten owned the club then and the good doctor was known for his Lamborghini and pink helicopter and the flamboyance rolled on. But, for the players, Tommy's arrival changed things. He had a simple message: harden up!
Tommy had a pretty good list at his disposal, with gun recruits such as Merv Neagle, Gerard Healy and Greg Williams, and he trained us hard, real hard. Tommy also tried to change the way the boys presented themselves. Most of us towed the line, but Warwick Capper was a different matter altogether.
When Tommy told us to wear slacks, black shoes and a club polo to games, Capper kept turning up in orange or yellow tracksuits. Warwick was also always late to our pre-game meetings. We'd be sitting in there and he would turn up in a ridiculous tracksuit, and say, ''Righto Tommy. Just tell the boys to kick it to me today!'' We'd all crack up laughing.
There's no doubt that Tommy tried his best, but even when we made the finals under him in 1986 we still didn't really believe we could mix it with the big boys such as Hawthorn and Carlton.
Looking back, it was probably Ron Barassi - the coach between 1993 and '95 - who convinced the people at the Swans that they didn't just have to make up the numbers in the AFL. Hard man Ron.
Although I finished my career at Essendon, I consider myself a supporter of both the Bombers and the Swans these days, so I was bloody proud when Sydney won the 2005 premiership. It's amazing to think the Swans will next Saturday play in their third grand final in eight seasons.
I take my hat off to the fellas such as Paul Roos, Stuart Maxfield and Brett Kirk, who established the ''Blood Brothers'' culture that has made the club so strong. The current coach, John Longmire, and on-field leaders Adam Goodes and Jude Bolton deserve plenty of credit. These guys are just so full of character.
The way the Swans have continued to improve and bring through young players Kieren Jack and Dan Hannebery is pretty amazing. I have also loved watching Josh Kennedy and Ted Richards, the boys who made the All-Australian team. The way they've gone from being fringe players to superstars since they went to Sydney has been sensational. The Swans just seem to love to play for one another and they truly believe they can achieve great things.
I'll be in the stands at the MCG cheering them on when they run out in the big game. For me and everyone else who played for the Swans when they first went to Sydney, seeing today's players enjoying such success makes us really happy because it was bloody hard and frustrating back when we first went up there. To see that what we started has amounted to something is just fantastic.
One thing's for sure, no one any more needs to tell the boys in red and white to ''harden the *%@# up''.
Anthony Daniher played 115 games for South Melbourne/Sydney between 1981-86, and 118 games for Essendon thereafter.

Can someone tell me what the yellow and black flying insect is? It's from two photos I took last year, in July 2012. Sorry the photos are not very clear.
Also, can someone tell me what's happened to all the lady-birds this year (2013)? I think I've seen only one, and about a month ago I saw a ladybird larva.
Message was edited by: Mary
one of the many hover flies....
these imitate wasps as part of there defence,
Many thanks for your answer. By the way, the photo was taken last year. I haven't seen any of these hover flies this year, yet.
Yes a hoverfly - a type of fly, it looks somewhat like the Marmelade fly - Episyrphus balteatus, but we'd need a better photo to be sure.
There are increasing numbers of Ladybirds appearing now, and in fact you have photographed one in your top picture.
The little red object at left-middle is a ladybird in its pupal state. :-)
Many thanks for your answer. I found pictures of the Marmalade fly in Nature Spot and Wikipedia, and they certainly do look like the one in my photo.
My photos were taken last summer (2012), by the way. There were loads of larvae in my garden last year, and I was able to watch the progress of two pupae on leaves just outside my window. There were so many larvae that I saw them crawling around on the pavement, so I was very surprised to see very few adult ladybirds either then or this spring and summer. So far I have only seen two or three!
