You may be wondering what in the world the title of my post means. Well, I have 3 things to tell you and they are all related as you will see (no pun intended).
First of all, there has been a Mittens sighting!!! It's just a sighting and it wasn't us, but someone saw our fliers over in the adjoining neighborhood and called this morning. He said there is a grey and white cat that has been hanging around his neighbor's fish pond the last few days. Steve immediately went over there and of course, couldn't find anything but talked to the guy and he said that the cat is usually out there about 9am in the morning and sometimes in the evenings. From his description, it appears to be Mittens! We are trying not to get our hopes up, but it's very hard. To think he is alive and as close as the next neighborhood makes me very happy. Steve is on his way home now with Jenna and we are going out there to look. Wish us luck!
In other news, I went for my follow-up exam from my LASIK surgery today. It can take up to a month for your vision to reach it's final resting point so to speak and it can fluctuate in between. I've been trying to test my eyesight with everything and I was quite disappointed that my left eye (the worst one) didn't seem to be at 20/20. Today I was prepared for the official disappointment. Much to my surprise, my right eye is not 20/20...it's 20/15! Better than normal!!!! My left eye (that troublemaker eye!) is "slightly better than 20/20, but not quite 20/15". HOLY COW. People. I went from legally blind (not blonde) without my glasses or contacts to 20/15! I'm here to tell you...if you are like me, LASIK is for you! And I'd highly recommend Dr. James Loden! I have some pictures I want to share, but that can come later...
Now, for the last thing...as you know, my Chase graduated Marine Boot Camp a few weeks ago. He's now gone back to NC to do his MCT (military combat training) and his job training. He'll be gone another 3-4 months, hopefully home by Christmas. At any rate, we did get his "formal" pictures and we were very pleased. This is my little 6 year old stepson, all grown up.
Talk about a sight for sore eyes....Mmmhmmm...I know. All you single women understand, you have to go through me to get to him right? A co-worker said to me last week, "There is just something about a man in uniform that makes me weak in the knees." Yes, I know. And I couldn't be more proud!

Even though Baby mostly wears black white gray and nude, she swears she still loves color! Seriously, I swear it! But give me one of these Chris Benz outfits (ps I saw him at IKEA this winter but I was too hungover to care... he was wearing 80's hightops, I was laying on a malm bed, trying not to move) and I'd make do.

What: Tucson's Birthday Party at Mission Garden
When: Sunday, August 20, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm
Where: Mission Garden, 946 W. Mission Lane, Tucson, AZ 85745
If you thought grandpa's 90th birthday was a huge celebration, wait until you see what's in store for Tucson's 4,000+ birthday party. I'll give you a hint: live music from local musicians, mouthwatering food, extra special cocktails, and birthday cake (because you can't celebrate a 4,000+ year birthday without cake!). And, because Tucson isn't the only one getting gifts, partygoers will also be able to purchase Tucson's favorite heritage plants and snazzy Mission garden t-shirts.
All of these wonderful festivities will take place amongst the beautiful plants and greenery (thanks, monsoons!) in Tucson's own Mission Garden. The money raised will go towards improving and sustaining Mission Garden, Tucson's Agricultural Heritage Museum. Tickets are $40 per person, or $12 for children 12 and under.
A note from Mission Garden about Tucson's birthday: On August 20, 1775 Hugo O'Connor, Commandante Inspector of the Spanish presidios along the northern frontier of New Spain, selected and marked the site for a new presidio at San Agustín de Tucson. Although Chuk-shon had been a farming settlement of O'odham and their ancestors for millennia, this date marks the beginning of its transformation into the northernmost urban outpost of Sonora, and is therefore celebrated as Tucson's Birthday. On this date Friends of Tucson's Birthplace celebrates the 4000 years and counting of Tucson's agricultural history.
So, join Tucson's birthday celebration and support its 4,000+ years of agriculture with some really good birthday cake! Buy your tickets here, or RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (520) 955-5200.

Travel apparently broadens the mind, apparently. One thing's for certain, travel has definitely been on my mind a lot lately. I'm off to Australia in two weeks for six weeks of sun and adventures. I can't wait. I booked the trip right in the middle of university-finals-revision-hell and I can't believe I now only have two weeks until I'm off on a 23 hour flight to the other side of the world.
Today's outfit is travel-themed but slightly closer to home: Paris. J'adore Paris. I've been to the city a few times and whatever the season (be it 30 degree summer heat or what felt like sub-zero in November) or who I've been with (a girlie trip with my mum, a holiday with a friend, visiting a friend studying there and a work day-trip) I've always had an amazing time.

Published Document
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Proposed rule.
EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), on June 25, 2007, pursuant to the requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA requires each state to submit a SIP revision within three years of a revision to the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The SIP revision must include provisions adequate to address emissions that may adversely affect another state's air quality through interstate transport of the revised NAAQS pursuant to the CAA. On July 18, 1997, EPA published revisions to the NAAQS for ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). SC DHEC's June 25, 2007, SIP revision addresses the elements required by section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA with regard to ozone and PM2.5, and as a result, it is approvable.

I. What Is the Background for EPA's Action?
EPA is proposing to approve a SIP revision submitted by SC DHEC on June 25, 2007. This SIP revision addresses the requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i). This SIP revision was public noticed on April 25, 2007, and a public hearing was held on May 30, 2007; no comments were received.
Section 110(a)(1) of the CAA requires that each state submit to EPA a SIP revision within three years after promulgation of a NAAQS. Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) requires that the aforementioned SIP contain adequate provisions to prohibit any source or other type of emissions activity within the state from emitting any air pollutant in amounts which will:
(I) contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by, any other State with respect to any such national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard, or (II) interfere with measures required to be included in the applicable implementation plan for any other State under part C of this subchapter to prevent significant deterioration of air quality or to protect visibility * * *
CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and (II). The provision quoted above can be described as including four separate but related elements that an applicable SIP revision should include: (1) Provisions prohibiting a state from contributing significantly to nonattainment of the NAAQS for areas in another state; (2) provisions prohibiting interference with maintenance of the NAAQS in another state; (3) provisions prohibiting interference with measures required to meet implementation plan requirements related to prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) for any other state; and (4) provisions prohibiting interference with measures required to meet implementation plan requirements related to regional haze for any other state.
On July 18, 1997, EPA published revisions to the NAAQS for ozone (62 FR 2) and PM2.5 (62 FR 38652). The current SIP revision by South Carolina is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA for the 1997 ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS. As is described below, the current SIP revision by South Carolina adequately addresses all four sub-elements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA, and is therefore approvable.
The first two sub-elements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA regard the prohibition of one state from interfering with maintenance or attainment of a NAAQS in another state. These first two sub-elements of Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) were met by South Carolina's SIP revision regarding EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). EPA promulgated CAIR on May 12, 2005 (70 FR 25162). CAIR requires certain states to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) that significantly contribute to, and interfere with maintenance of, the NAAQS for PM2.5 and/or ozone in any downwind state, thus addressing the two revised NAAQS pollutants at issue as well as the issue of interstate interference with maintenance or attainment of the NAAQS. CAIR established state budgets for SO2 and NOX and requires states to submit SIP revisions that implement these budgets in states that EPA concluded did contribute to nonattainment in other states.
South Carolina is a CAIR-State for both ozone and PM2.5 (see 60 FR 25162, May 12, 2005). Because South Carolina adopted CAIR, EPA has already concluded that South Carolina can meet its section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) obligations to address the significant contribution and interference with maintenance requirements by complying with the CAIR requirements. EPA published a direct final action approving the South Carolina CAIR SIP revision for its allocation methodology on October 9, 2007 (72 FR 57257). In addition, South Carolina remains covered by the CAIR Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) for the remainder of its trading program. Therefore, EPA has determined that through the above actions, South Carolina has adequately addressed the first two sub-elements of the CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) requirements (i.e., Start Printed Page 29733to prevent emissions that contribute significantly to other state's nonattainment of, or interfere with the maintenance of, the NAAQS).
The third CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) sub-element addressed by South Carolina in its June 25, 2007, submittal relates to the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) program. For ozone and PM2.5, South Carolina has met its obligation by confirming that major sources in the State are currently subject to PSD and/or Nonattainment New Source Review programs that implement the 1997 8-hour ozone standard and the PM2.5 standard.
The fourth CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) sub-element regards visibility. South Carolina addressed this fourth sub-element through its SIP submittal describing its Regional Haze Implementation Plan. This revision was submitted to EPA on December 17, 2007.
II. Proposed Action
EPA is now proposing to approve South Carolina's CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) SIP revision submitted on June 25, 2007. EPA has reviewed South Carolina's 110(a)(2)(D)(i) revision and has found that it is consistent with the relevant CAA requirements as discussed above.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this proposed action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action:
- Is not a "significant regulatory action" subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
- Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
- Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
- Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
- Does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
- Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
- Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
- Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA; and
- Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.Start List of Subjects

This is the end of my first week at Las Vegas. My conclusion? It is the Sin City. At first, it may not look as impressive as it should. Casinos? Montreal has them. Strippers? Montreal has them. Helicopter tours? Montreal has them. What do you want more? Montreal even has hydrojets, all accessible at very affordable rates. The difference? You can play machine guns with nearly naked girls for $50 only. What's more? If you don't mind the desert heat, you can even go out to have a jeep ride, on which to shoot with a machine gun just to feel the dynamics of a battlefield. For $55, you get the full experience plus a hamburger lunch. It's well worth it, in Vegas only. Obviously, there is a military base nearby, because you can see American soldiers from time to time whereas many services make it clear that they deserve a huge discount. The climate is a bit too hot and sometimes the air pollution is so bad that you don't want to breathe. Fortunately, if you want to stay inside all day and all week, there's no problem at all. Most shopping streets are inside the casino buildings, with full air conditioning so that you feel as comfortable as you want. Not all casinos are busy. Their business actually has to do with the length of their front aisle in parallel to Las Vegas Boulevard, because pedestrians tend to take advantage of the brief air conditioning provided by these casinos. The longer the aisle, the higher the probability that they will grab a seat to start gambling. Some casinos, such as the Cromwell, don't seem to get this and have their halls nearly 80% empty at all times. Don't worry, because gambling is so lucrative that no matter what they do, they will survive.
In any case, my Vegas vacation actually gave me a little breathing room to design a new programming language. After all, there is not much to do other than those predefined formulas. It used to be a tradition that Computer Science students must know how to implement a new programming language upon graduation. It's not like that anymore. In fact, even when I was at school, there was no longer a focus in the School of Computer Science. Students sort of had to know a bit of everything, without any sense of direction. It really depends on what you want to do. If you are selling to businesses, chances are you want to create your little programming language to enable automation of your systems. The more you customers invest in your programming language, the more they get locked into your business solutions. Imagine, it may take about 2 months to switch from Novell to Windows as a new network management system, because there is not that much code and data to convert and migrate. However, it takes forever to switch from Oracle to SQL Server if you have 10 years of Oracle PL/SQL written and tested with time. There you go. Customer loyalty truly matters. On the other hand, if you are selling to everyday consumers, it's better to build on existing habits and create new habits. Most people don't write code, but they stick to their habits for productivity. Either way, I am not saying that language designers are evil, because API alone is sufficient to create vendor lock-in. The only way to avoid this problem is to have a standardization effort at an early stage with all major vendors before a market is matured or even created.
I will see how it goes. If time is right, I may add a little link here to point at my company web site where it will be introduced. Time will tell.

TONY EASTLEY: Just before Christmas Coonamble and 80 per cent of New South Wales was declared as drought affected.
But after days of heavy, flooding rain, farmers say the drought may be easing.
The downpour at Coonamble and elsewhere means that farmers won't be forced to off-load underweight stock, and there'll be enough moisture in the earth to plant summer and winter crops.
The big wet will also help people living in rural townships.
The president of the New South Wales Farmers' Association, Charles Armstrong has been speaking with Emily Bourke.
CHARLES ARMSTRONG: If you look at the total... total agricultural export income earnings of around $30 billion, and you think that quite easily this rain could increase that by ten per cent and could in fact increase it by quite a lot more than that, ten per cent would be $3.2 billion.
EMILY BOURKE: And that's even with the dollar as high as it is?
CHARLES ARMSTRONG: Well again, if you saw the dollar drop a little bit, say another ten per cent, you're doubling that figure. But right now, yes, it would be irrespective of where the dollar is because you're looking at increased production, more exports going overseas and capturing that price, even though it might be a little lower.
EMILY BOURKE: Is this rain enough to revitalise local businesses in these townships?
CHARLES ARMSTRONG: Definitely in the cases of the dryland farming, yes, because virtually every dollar that the farmer earns ends up going into inputs that are provided by the towns, and into shire rates and all the other expenses associated with farming.
But in terms of the irrigation area, which are really some of the most devastated areas in term of the communities that have been reliant on those industries, in most cases there hasn't really been enough rain to replenish those reservoirs, to the extent that irrigation might get back to normal levels as well.
But the same story, there is an opportunity there, there is some water coming in to those reservoirs and there will be an opportunity to perhaps have more irrigated crops and a greater food supply as a result of that than we've had in the last few years.
But, quite a long way off from being normal, or even for those reservoirs to get up to half full, let alone full.
EMILY BOURKE: What's the psychological impact of this rain?
CHARLES ARMSTRONG: It is enormous. The people... particularly the people who suffered crop failures, a large part in the southern part of NSW, but also again across other parts of the state as well. For them it was the third or fourth crop failure in a seven- to ten-year drought.
And we... farmers become very optimistic as soon as they see some rain so the psychological impact is really enormous to give farmers hope that this year might be the year that rewards them for all their effort.
TONY EASTLEY: The president of the New South Wales Farmers' Association, Charles Armstrong, speaking there with Emily Bourke.
The full story...
NSW big wet good news for many farmers

The concept of living simple makes me happy.
Right now, my life is busy... too busy.
I'm over committed...
In these times it is important to slow down, find something enjoyable (Do you know that I almost missed the cherry blossoms this year. I literally drove around the corner one day and actually looked up to take in the scene and it took my breath away. Not only for the beauty, but because I'd almost missed them.)
In these times it is important to let anything not necessary "take a back seat."
In these times it is important to rest.
In these times it is important to take care of myself.
In these times it is important to love the people around you.
So today, I will work hard, I will check in with my kids... give them all of the love and attention they deserve and I will forge ahead.

The weather over the rest of the week provides another preview of summer weather with several days in a row in the 80's. We'll likely see at least the average amount of days May gets in the 80's by the end of the week.
Get ready to welcome in some summer-like warmth for the next few days. High temperatures for the next 4 days will climb into the lower 80's.
For today, high temps will soar to near 82° into the afternoon, with mostly sunny skies. The overnight will be cool with temperatures falling into upper 50's. Dew points will be lower, so the air won't feel too humid.
The warmth will continue into the weekend. The clouds will be on the increase into Saturday evening after temperatures reach into the 80's. The next wet weather system moves into the area late Saturday into Sunday, with slightly cooler high temps for Sunday into the start of the work-week.
The month of May averages 7 days in the 80's, scattered throughout the month. This particular May has had 4 days in the 80's so far. Starting Wednesday and lasting through Saturday, temperatures should reach the low 80's for 4 days in a row. That brings the tally of 80 degree days for Rockford this May to 8, with a little under a half of the month still left.
Humidity levels should stay within the comfortable range, so muggy conditions won't be in the mix the rest of this week.
Recently, the trend has been to have double digit days in the 80's in May. 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016 all had 11+ days in the 80's, with 2012 having the most at 13 days. That's nearly double the average amount of 80 degree days.
The overall weather pattern looks to stay warmer than average this month, with plenty of southerly air flow keeping the heat around. Looking ahead to the summer, the 3 month span of June, July, and August looks to be near average overall.

At Fink Farms, it never works out like that. Unruly bunches of herbs grow into each other, or bolt or shrivel in the sun without water. When we first started the farm, we were growing herbs in the main garden with the tomatoes, and beans and lettuce greens.
I decided to set up a separate herb area along the cinder block wall, first because of squabbles about what should go where between the then three partners and secondly because I'd read that herbs like adverse conditions. Since we were composting up the main garden, I thought perhaps the herbs would do better in less rich ground.
There were problems with that thinking:
- There probably isn't enough time left in my lifetime to turn the denatured, suburban dirt in the garden plot into "rich" soil.
- Outside the garden plot, there is only hard, denatured, suburban dirt. That's several steps past "adverse conditions." It comes nowhere near a virgin Italian hillside where the goats roam free and fertilize the soil.
- Taking the herbs out of the main garden plot means taking them away from water. Our watering system is a long, maze-like trail of soaker hoses that lead from a single faucet and a timer to keep us legal with the Department of Water and Power. It's hard enough to keep water flowing to the end of the soaker hoses, which spring leaks or get caked with mud. Without the hoses, someone has to carry watering cans of water to the herbs. Regularly. It doesn't happen.
So, it's survival of the fittest . . . or survival by accident. By the cinderblock wall, thyme struggles, although the rosemary bush a yard or so to the south thrives. (Of course, the rosemary bush is planted over a dead cat . . . ) The mint in a huge pot died in the heat and drought. The oregano growing at the shady threshold of the door into the garage is doing well. The dill has survived a take-over by the volunteer butternut squash plant, but it's bolted into flower. Three types of basil have survived, maybe because of shade from the butternut squash plant.
The bottomline is that we have enough basil and oregano to dry. Enough to replenish the stock in our two kitchens. (To dry, we bundle into small bunches, rinse in the sink and let the moisture dry off. Then we put the bunches into paper lunch bags, staple the top of the bag and the dangling strings closed. We hang the bags in a dry place for 10 days. When the herbs are dry, we can rub them off the stems into the paper bag and toss the tied stems into the compost heap. We can put the leaves into jars for use as needed.)
We watered the thyme well today, and trimmed back the flowering tops. Hopefully in a couple of days with some additional water, the thyme will come back and we can dry more that as well.

报告题目:How could connected vehicle impact on driver behaviors and what's their subsequent effect?
报告概要:Connected Vehicle (CV) systems are expected to enhance a wide range of safety, mobility and environmental aspects to highway traffic. A critical research need lies in clarifying the cause-and-effect mechanism between the CV information and driver behaviors and subsequent adaptive resiliency of improvement in operation, safety, and emissions reductions. A novel approach is hence created via developing the simulation-based tool, Synthetic Adaptive V2X Effect (SAVE) Estimator, to explore the interactions between the CV system and transportation performance. This presentation will introduce the speaker's current research on identifying factors contributing to the CV adaptive effect on traffic operation, safety, and environment. The framework and associated modeling methodology for the development of the SAVE Estimator will be detailed with a proof-of-concept study of the CV adaptive resilience at a realistic freeway connecting with two ramps. The SAVE Estimator is planned to be integrated in the future into the Geographical Information System (GIS)-based Air Impact Relating Scenario-based Urban Settings and Transportation Assets In Network" (AIR-SUSTAIN) system, which is being developed via a grant funded by US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), an integrated transportation conformity analysis tool.

Call in Now!
OPB was doing their fund raiser this week. This is the time when they run special shows in hopes of having you call in and donate money. They break from the show into the studio. Behind the announcers are rows of people answering the phones as people call in to donate money. It struck me as odd how pledge drives and telethons still seem to be using phones that have old fashion mechanical bells. You hear this constant ringing in the background that sounds like your deaf grand mother's phone on a table in the parlor, ringing at full volume.
Are they really still using that type of phone, or is that this is the sound they think will make us call in and donate?

3 riders race head to head on a tight sprint circuit (about 1 minute long).
The first to finish in each race will go through to the next round. We will also record times and the next 9 – 12 fastest will also go to the next round. The fastest of those rounds will go through to the next round and so on. Depending on numbers, we think those who finish up on the podium will race 4 times.
This event will start about 12:30 pm Saturday, after the Port Hills Classic prizegiving, and will be followed by the kids races.

Water and air. Absorption refrigeration units work by using ammonia as the coolant — motor IP rating and pump rating. An absorption chiller has very low electrical power requirements; used in the HVAC industry for fan motors, the timer then closes the valve and lets the ice freeze for about 30 minutes.

The water is then recirculated to the chiller to be recooled. When the chillers for air conditioning systems are not operable or they are in need of repair or replacement, emergency chillers may be used to supply chilled water. In industrial application, chilled water or other liquid from the chiller is pumped through process or laboratory equipment. Industrial chillers are used for controlled cooling of products, mechanisms and factory machinery in a wide range of industries. X-ray diffraction, power supplies and power generation stations, analytical equipment, semiconductors, compressed air and gas cooling. They are also used to cool high-heat specialized items such as MRI machines and lasers, and in hospitals, hotels and campuses.

A hydrocarbon in which some or all of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine.
Chillers for industrial applications can be centralized, where a single chiller serves multiple cooling needs, or decentralized where each application or machine has its own chiller. Each approach has its advantages. It is also possible to have a combination of both centralized and decentralized chillers, especially if the cooling requirements are the same for some applications or points of use, but not all. Decentralized chillers are usually small in size and cooling capacity, usually from 0. Centralized chillers generally have capacities ranging from ten tons to hundreds or thousands of tons. This is due to heat rejection at or near the air's wet-bulb temperature rather than the higher, sometimes much higher, dry-bulb temperature.

No, I'm not talking about the weather (I wish). While I was at Canadian Tire shopping for plate hangers, I spotted an ENERGY STAR programmable thermostat on clearance and decided to go for it (I figured if the installation went horribly wrong, we're not in danger of freezing in June).
This is the thermostat we started with - nothing wrong with it, except that Adam and I are always forgetting to turn down the heat before we go to bed, which means we're wasting heat and money, and we end up sweating the bed (gross, but true). And it's ugly...
Before installing our new thermostat, which will do the remembering for us, I read through the installation instructions. It seemed easy enough: turn off the power, remove the old thermostat, label the wires, and match those labels to the ones on the new thermostat. Except that our thermostat was so old it didn't have labels, just a lot of dust, a tube with mercury in it, and red and yellow wires.
Luckily the internet is awesome, and some quick googling revealed that I should connect the red wire to the port marked "R" and the yellow wire to the port marked "W" (I'm calling them ports because I have no idea what they're actually called, but hopefully you get the idea).
The final step was to install the batteries, replace the cover, and turn the power back on. And since the new thermostat is a different size and shape than the old one, I also had a little paint touch-up to do (because I'm impatient, the paint is still a little wet in the after photo below). The whole process took about 30 minutes, but it obviously would have been quicker without the googling. I tested it, it worked (!), and then I shut it off for the summer haha.
We can't toss our old thermostat into the garbage because it contains mercury, so I plan to drop it off at our local household hazardous waste depot later this week.

The 2nd International Silent Film Festival: El negro que tenía el alma blanca (1927)
The 2nd International Silent Film Festival kicked off last night at the Shangri-La Plaza Cinema with the screening of The Black Man With White Soul (Benito Perojo, 1927; Spain). In it, Pedro (played by a white actor in blackface), a son of a former slave, leaves Cuba (where he was being mistreated for being black) to seek his fortune in Paris. While working as a bellboy at a dance club, his dancing prowess is discovered and then he goes to become a famous dancer of the Charleston in the city. He falls in love with his dancing partner, who could not stand the thought of marrying him because of his skin color.
The film is truly a product of its time. Had this film been released today, nothing short of Martin Luther King, Jr. rising from the grave might happen. Riots in L.A.! Condemnation from Spike Lee! A second career for Public Enemy! The film is replete with images, scenes, and inter titles that can only be possibly amusing in a Chris Rock sketch. Witness Pedro's face fade to that of a giant ape! Witness Pedro's poster as it gives his partner a nightmare (with matching horror film effects)! Witness Pedro in an African tribal get-up! In spite of his success, Pedro could not get the one thing he wants, that is the white girl's heart. The girl's father is sympathetic to Pedro, but not really because he understands what he is going through, but because he feels he owes him a lot for giving him and his daughter the good life (mansion, Rolls Royce...). I kept waiting for redemption for the main character, like waiting for the punchline to a joke that has gone on for too long. It never came. In the end, Pedro died of heartache, beside him the girl, who up to the end was wishing he wasn't black, but takes comfort in the idea that though he had black skin, he had a white soul (Jesus.) And then looking on is Pedro's trusty skinhead manservant (the girl's next love interest?) who looks like an SS officer in his uniform. And I don't think the film was being ironic.
Despite the unabashedly racist elements of this movie, it will be unfair to condemn it or judge it with our modern views since it was made in the the 20s. Actually, I'd say it's a very progressive movie for its time, because of its portrayal of a black man who was actually successful (but still not happy, natch), enjoying the acclaim of a society largely indifferent to their plight. It is also progressive due to the mere fact that it attempted to explore the theme of racism and discrimination from the point of view of a black man, in 1927 (meanwhile, D.W. Griffith was glorifying the Ku Klux Klan in "The Birth of A Nation").
For the first time ever in this yearly festival (which started a few years ago when it was still the German Silent Film Festival), a choir accompanied the screening, instead of a world music ensemble, an electronic group, or a rock band. The Novo Concertante Manila, a bemedalled choral group, did a respectable job performing a piece specially composed for the film, although when they also tried to do sound effects like clapping and chirping of birds, I thought it was unnecessary and distracting.
The 2nd International Silent Film Festival runs until September 8. See the schedule HERE.

So you read about Kaitlyn having a hard time falling asleep on Saturday night, well last night she had a hard time from about 2am to 4am. She never really screamed just wined every few minuets. It is a hard situation for me, I am never quite sure what I should do. My first instinct is to go in there and cuddle with her but then she just wakes up more and will not go back to sleep or will scream if I try to put her back in her crib. My second instinct is to check her diaper but again we are left with the same situation above. Lastly I think that she might need some Tylenol but again that involves her seeing me and not being able to put her to sleep again. I have tried bringing her to bed with me but that always ends in disaster as well. When I have done that all she does is crawl around the bed, sit up and play with me, or climb up the head board.
In the end I ended up not going in her room at all, I was glued to the video monitor watching her every move; waiting for the moment that I needed to go in there and rescue her. She was not standing up crying or anything and it looked like she was continually trying to go back to sleep.
I wish she could just tell me what is the matter. "Mommy (more like Dada, that is what she likes to call me recently - I have never been called Mom yet) my tummy hurts" or "Mommy my teeth hurt" or even just "Ouch", "Sick", "Dirty". Something to let me know that she really does need me. I know it will happen soon but the guessing sucks. I feel so bad when I don't go in there and help her but I know if she really does not need me it is best to let her figure it out on her own.

Off the needles ~ hooray! I was getting worried about running out of yarn, so I ended the lace pattern at the end of the gussett. I figured it would be under my shoe anyway, so who's gonna know?
This pattern is from The Sole Solution 2003/04 Design Collection. It is Hatsuyo's Lacy Socks and I changed to a round toe.
I used (Hobby Lobby) Senseo cotton/acrylic (crochet) yarn and knitted on Addi #0 circs.
Gotta go to cast on #2.

Once a flourishing, fertile, agricultural paradise, parts of the San Joaquin Valley are now a dust bowl. There is a 40% unemployment rate in Mendota, CA. Your eyes are not failing you, I did say 40%. Why is this happening? The addition of a 3 inch smelt to the endangered species list. This action led to the government turning off the water pumps that bring water to the San Joaquin Valley. Statewide, 450,000 acres have gone unplanted this year because the land is unable to sustain crops without the water.
Meanwhile the farmers in California are idle and their families are going hungry. And how many families do you think those 450,000 acres of idle farm land could feed? The federal government seems to be deaf to the cries of these people even as local officials and legislators are pleading for relief. They should remember that people vote-fish do not.
Why have the fortunes of a smelt been put above the needs of humans? The problem in my estimation goes deeper than the California situation. Respect for human life since Roe V. Wade has diminished markedly. Not only is the sanctity of life under attack for the unborn, but also for the aged and those with disabilities. Meanwhile, respect and protection for animal rights and the environment has skyrocketed. Does no one think that there is something wrong when a bald eagle has more legal protection for it's unborn eagle in an egg than a human baby who hasn't been born yet?
When respect for the sanctity of human life is diminished the entire culture will suffer.

"I'm agnostic. . . . I believe in the state," Bachelet told several groups of evangelical ministers last week. "I believe the state has an important role in guaranteeing the diversity of men and women in Chile -- their different spiritualities, philosophies and ways of life."I guess it does in this case. I'd prefer a highly religious anti-statistm male or female.

Does not believing in God entail believing in the state?

Seems like the presence or absence of the buffer November celebration doesn't sway the holiday timeline either way. The city has already held celebrations for the lighting of their Christmas lights, costumed characters traded their human statue digs for Santa outfits, and the shopping centers have assembled Christmas villages with their own "Department Store Santa." Our own reports from America, sent via
|Christmas Village at the Shopping Centre
Aha! There's the reason we hear (from our small sample size) from our local friends and neighbors. There isn't a big November holiday to celebrate here in Ireland, so after Halloween (and October Bank Holiday,) Christmas is next on the calendar. We have heard from our local friends that the holiday festivities have been creeping up the calendar in the last few years. Soon, it is speculated, everyone will be hanging lights, wrapping gifts, eating mince pies, and sitting on Santa's lap on November 1st- just like home in Iowa!
Happy Holidays, everyone, no matter when you start the celebrations!


text: It's been a few weeks having a weird problem with windows 10. The CPU goes upto 100% when I open up a youtube video only, and then the mouse movement starts stuttering, audio sounds glitchy and overall the system starts acting in a low fps basically, and oddly enough, when the video is closed, everything goes back to normal, I really wonder what's up. Checking the task manager, the only thing kinda suspicous is the "System and compressed memory" spiking up cpu usage, but other than that there's nothing weird, but the performance tab does show a 100% spike graph. This is really annoying and I haven't been able to open up a youtube video in peace for ages since, a regular youtube tab works fine, but as an html5 video is played, my system gets possessed, not sure about other sites with html5 videos. Any ideas or solutions? ;( EDIT: The System and compressed memory cpu usage goes up to 30% most of the time.

A robber stole cash from a chip shop after he threatened staff with a machete.
Detectives have launched an investigation and are appealing for witnesses, saying staff were left terrified.
The man ran into a chip shop on Church Street in Golborne, Wigan, and threatened staff with the blade. They handed over cash from the till and he ran outside before escaping in a car police believe had foreign number plates.
The robbery happened shortly before 7.20pm last Wednesday.
The robber is described as a white man, aged in his late 20s, 5ft 10ins tall with short dark hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and blue trousers.
Det Sgt Lee Shaw said: "Understandably, the staff were terrified to be confronted by a man with a machete.
"I would appeal to anyone who witnessed a man with a similar description in the area at the time of the robbery, or anyone who saw him fleeing, to get in touch.
"We are appealing for anyone who may have seen something suspicious in that area at that time, or anyone with information, to contact police."
Call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.


text: I do believe things in our lives happen for a good reason. We meet people on our way in the very right moment so that other, quite often better things can come to us. Most often we don't realise it, we are only able to notice it after a period of time. Anna had contacted me before I came to Poland if we can meet for a photo session. We couldn't decide which location to choose, as Anna being a photographer herself has been to quite a few places I've already known. We decided to go to a pretty scary abandoned mansion as none of us has been there before. For me it was absolutely amazing experience, the light, the mood inside the big, ruined house, the nostalgy of the whole place suited my and my model's mood. If photos express the state of your soul I cannot find any better ones to show to you at that moment of my life. Are they sad, gloomy, nostalgic? Yes, perhaps, but that is exactly the way I felt in July.

I was messing around with this group of people today, we were throwing things at each other and shoving each other playfully and then this guy was about to shove me but he said ''oh, sorry I don't want to hurt a girl.'' And backed away from me. Like ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That made me so fucking mad. I mean come on I'm not gonna break into pieces if a guy's a little rough with me. I've been punched and kicked in the gut by my older siblings a hundred times and I'm still standing. I get that guys are trying to be nice when they say stuff like that but seriously it pissed me off because he excluded me from the game because he didn't want to 'hurt me'. He deprived me of the fun of the moment because I'm a girl. I wish I could've told him to fuck off. And that's not the only time. You see it all the time. Girls standing on the sidelines watching while the boys horseplay because they don't want us to get hurt, because we're so dainty and fragile that we shouldn't dare have some fun with guys. It makes me sick.

I'd just annoy him until he punched me, and then I'd punch him ten times harder :)
he didnt exclude you he avoided you and he was the one who retreat from the game, stop being a manipulative bitch

Lest you think the only thing I love is food, I thought I would share with you that I also love flowers. I will not downplay my passion for food and cooking and wine and dining, but I need you to know that those loves are balanced with others, and I hope eventually to write about them all. Today I turn my attention to flowers.
Whenever possible, I have at least one vase of fresh flowers in my house. Sometimes they are from my mother's garden, sometimes they are from the supermarket. That is, they are always beautiful, and they are never expensive. From my mother's garden and around her house my favorites are lilacs and peonies and hydrangea; from the supermarket, alstromeria.
Obviously my mother, with her green thumb, deserves some credit for my flower habit. (Need I mention that my love for cooking and food comes also from her? Clearly, I am my mother's daughter.) Just as I cannot walk away from her house without a sack of fresh produce during summer time, or a recycled margarine tub full of cold slaw or sauerkraut or pierogi, when flowers are in bloom in her yard, she will follow me outside with kitchen shears to send me home with flowers.
Yet I have loved flowers longer than I have had a place of my own in which to showcase them. When I was a young girl, my grandmother (my father's mother) used to call my sisters and me over to her house, just two houses away, early on the morning of our last day of school to give us roses from her bushes for our teachers. In bloom in June, we would each bring a bunch of roses, whose stems were wrapped in wet paper towels and covered with aluminum foil, to our teachers as a thank you gift. All the way to school I would breathe in their beautiful scent. I can trace, therefore, my love of flowers to my youth, to my mother and grandmother. My desire to surround myself with them I attribute to an unlikely friend.
When I was in college, the mother of my heart's desire, an unrequited high school love, sent me a poem. She was going through a divorce and in a letter she shared a poem, one she probably read daily. The author and origin are disputed. The poem was Comes The Dawn; the line that stayed with me is "so plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to buy you flowers." Any C student would assume from the poem that she was sharing the story of her divorce, the journey of her heartbreak and healing. But somehow, maybe because I was in love with her son who she knew didn't return the favor, maybe because I was a freshman at an all women's college, when I read the poem, she unwittingly implored me to Be a woman who doesn't wait for a man to learn her worth, who doesn't need a man to feel worthy. Years later, when I had a place of my own, I kept the line about flowers alive by filling vases with flowers.
I still do.

Seedy SK Njie, the spokesperson for the opposition APRC party was Saturday seen at the Friendship Hotel, where one of the political parties that was part of the group that defeated them was selecting its party leaders.
Njie was representing the former ruling party at the GMC's second national congress. The APRC ruled The Gambia for 22-years after its leader and then-President Yahya Jammeh took over power in a military coup.
The GMC joined the coalition last year that handed Jammeh a shocking defeat and backed the UDP to win an absolute majority in the parliament.
Political parties in The Gambia are all showing strength. The APRC organized a major political rally in October in a show of might. GMC national congress is also a flexing of muscle to show the party now enjoys more support than ever.
APRC supporters, especially in the southwestern region of Foni have accused Fatty of being a strongman while being the security minister.
Fatty had taken a stand against post-electoral skirmishes in the new opposition stronghold. A protest in the hometown of exiled president Jammeh left one person dead and several others claimed to be wounded by West African security forces.

Actor Amitabh Bachchan, who has an interesting platter of projects this year, including the upcoming Bhoothnath Returns, R.Balki's untitled directorial venture with Dhanush and Shoojit Sircar's Piku, will now be playing a paralysed chess grandmaster in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's untitled production venture, to be helmed by Bejoy Nambiar. The film has Farhan Akhtar as Big B's co-star, while the female lead is yet to be finalised. The project is scheduled to take off in September, after Akhtar wraps up sister Zoya Akhtar's directorial venture, Dil Dhadakne Do. When contacted for a confirmation, Nambiar did not wish to comment on the news.
Jacqueline Fernandez in Excel Entertainment's Bangistan
Actress Jacqueline Fernandez has been confirmed for Bangistan, which is Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's production venture, to be produced under their banner, Excel Entertainment. The news was confirmed by a source close to the actress. The film is a satire, which has a different take on world peace and shows how religion is exploited as a means for terrorism. It stars Riteish Deshmukh and Pulkit Samrat, who will be seen playing young guns with lofty ideologies. Bangistan will be helmed by film critic turned director Karan Anshuman. Fernandez is in the spotlight with Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick with Salman Khan, which is currently under production and will also be seen in a double role in the Arjun Rampal – Ranbir Kapoor starrer Roy, which is in the pre-production stage. With two hits in the form of Housefull 2 and Race 2 behind her, the actress is on clearly on a roll.

We had a fun experience yesterday! We took the boys to their first Texas Tech game. (Well, technically it was Jaden's second, but he was 2 the first time he went and doesn't really remember it.) He should remember yesterday for a long time, because we had lots of fun! First, we parked and then we walked...and walked...and walked...and walked... Well, you get the picture. :-)
The boys both ran up to this statue and said, "Look it's the horse rider." They thought the statue was pretty cool until we saw the real masked rider and horse and they thought that was even cooler.
We all had our "guns up" quite a bit, but so did everyone else. That place is hoppin' with school spirit, which I happen to think is pretty cool!
We found Raider Red in Raider Alley. Jaden was a little stand-offish, but then decided it would be o.k. for a picture. The fact that you can't see Jaxon in the picture should tell you what he thought about Raider Red -- he was o.k. from a distance, but he wasn't getting close.
Here is Jaden using his binoculars for a mustache to try and look like Raider Red. I see the similarities, don't you?
We had lots of fun learning part of the words to the fight song -- "We will hit 'em. We will wreck 'em. Hit 'em, wreck 'em, Texas Tech!" And we had lots of opportunities to practice it with the score being 55-10! I think Jaden finally got it on the last touchdown. Then, he thought they needed to score again so he could "practice" it again.
The weather even cooperated for us. It rained on us all the way there and most of the way home, but not at the game at all. I'm sure it was because we (and everyone else at the game) took all our rain gear in. :-)
Go Tech!

Hi Roy,
Today, I received another mailart card....Sunrise.Dune Path to the Ocean...I love your black and white work. I started off in mailart doing only black and whites but branched out into color but I find that increasingly, I am returning to black and white.
I prepared a thank-you mailart card but it's so cold here in the Gaspé Peninsula (Québec) that I refuse to leave my apartment and go to the post office. Sorry that I am not sending it within an appropriate period of time. I HATE the cold so much!!!
Take care,

Synopsis: Miranda Ellis is a woman tormented. Plagued since birth by a strange and powerful gift, she has spent her entire life struggling to control her exceptional abilities. Yet one innocent but irreversible mistake has left her family's fortune decimated and forced her to wed London's most nefarious nobleman. Lord Benjamin Archer is no ordinary man. Doomed to hide his disfigured face behind masks, Archer knows it's selfish to take Miranda as his bride. Yet he can't help being drawn to the flame-haired beauty whose touch sparks a passion he hasn't felt in a lifetime. When Archer is accused of a series of gruesome murders, he gives in to the beastly nature he has fought so hard to hide from the world. But the curse that haunts him cannot be denied. Now, to save his soul, Miranda will enter a world of dark magic and darker intrigue. For only she can see the man hiding behind the mask. (from the back of the book)
Review: I purchased this book because it's the author's agent is one I hope to
someday have. I make a point to read the agent's work so that I know what she
represented. My thoughts on this work are jumbled but I'll try to hash them
The good: The mystery portion was well-done with a twisty plot, hidden clues
and an excellent finish. She used classic story points:-A little Beauty and the
Beast, a little Phantom of the Opera etc. Her characters had depth, flaws,
roundness and dimensions.
The bad: Her world-building was mediocre - the paranormal elements didn't
always mesh. They seemed disjointed and contrived at times. She lacked humor. A
few quips, but nothing laugh out loud. The ugly: The nearly pornographic sex scenes. Most romances have sex scenes,
but they are given a few words compared to the relationship development between
the characters. This was opposite. Most the main characters interaction was
sex, sex, and more sex - so when they finally said "I love you" I was
confused. I was never convinced of they had true love. She could take a example
for Georgette Heyer (who never had a sex scene at all) or Linnea Sinclair (were
the sex is important but sparse) - in those works, it was the way the author
conveyed the deep love between the characters that made the book memorable.
Callihan seemed unable to do that so just had them screw each other all the
time to make up for it.
Now that I've said all that, I will admit after finishing this, I purchase
the next two.They're on sale and Callihan has a clear talent for mysteries that
drag you in.
Prude Note: Several sex scenes, all can be skipped but one, as it's important to the story. However, this is not a good bood for those who are uncomfortable with graphic sex scenes.

Act I Page 34

Author's Comments:
I've pretty much caught up with my buffer now! I'm going to stick to this schedule for one more week, though, because a) I have another week of exams left and b) I want to go back and touch the prologue and some of the earlier pages of act I before commencing act II.
I got looking at this page and I've only just realized that I drew Morwyn holding the dagger by the blade, and not the hilt, in the first panel. Sadly, this isn't the first time this has happened... my brain tends to go all derpy whenever I'm trying to draw weaponry XD

Reader's Comments:
^^ It's been a while since I had a chance to read some comics that I follow~ I've been so busy
Seems like you're busy too!!
Don't worry too much about the first panel. When I was reading, I thought, "Wow. Badass Granny Morwyn don't give no shits about how she holds a blade."
I figured she was going to smear her own blood on her face as war paint or something as a statement XD That's my impression of her! (I like her character so far ;3)lol...but maybe I'm making her out to be crazier than she is XD XD XD
But, it's okay that it turned out to be a 'derp' moment. I've done that plenty of times too. And knives are hard to draw. They're WAY harder than guns in my opinion. My daggers always look like fumbling butterknives on weak steroids. XD
p.s. 2nd panel was very amusing--their expressions were priceless!

Golf on Hold - Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas
There was no way to play golf this weekend...we got a foot of snow on Friday, and more yesterday when these shots were taken.
I happen to have a collection of old school snowmen...small statues from the 50's and 60's. I took the collection outside and photographed it ... in its natural element... so to speak. I hope to use the pictures for my digital holiday cards.
Nick hates the small plastic figures. He finds them tacky. That's his problem, because I think they're cute.
We spent most of the weekend indoors; I made Christmas Cookies, Cranberry Sauce and a Velouté de légumes (an awesome French vegetable soup). We had hot cider with bourbon, and eggnog with rum, and an lovely Côtes du Rhône, and actually... I don't remember much else about the weekend. Except that it was good.

The majority of students are well acquainted with alcohol and a post-Flux Sunday. A hangover is perhaps the most common side effect of a heavy night. However, a recent change to NHS guidance aims to make us aware of the long term effects of drinking and reduce the lasting damage that excessive alcohol consumption can cause.
New guidance now brings male maximum drinking limits in line with female drinking limits, at 14 units a week. Previously it was thought that due a faster metabolism, men could drink more before experiencing long term impacts of alcohol consumption.
Sir David Spiegelhalter, a Professor of Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge spoke about the new guidelines, saying: 'These guidelines define 'low-risk' drinking as giving you less than a one per cent chance of dying from an alcohol-related condition.'
"An hour of TV watching a day, or a bacon sandwich a couple of times a week, is more dangerous to your long-term health. In contrast, the average driver faces much less than this lifetime risk from a car accident. It all seems to come down to what pleasure you get from moderate drinking."
The guidelines recommend that the 14 units should be spread over three or more days, and avoiding binge drinking, with at least two alcohol free days per week.
The advice for pregnant women remains unchanged: alcohol is best avoided.
A common fact cited by drinkers is that alcohol provides some heart protection. However, an independent review found this only applies for women over the age of 55 when they limit their intake to 5 units per week.
However, on the same day, guidance was published by the Committee on Carcinogenicity, which found that even with an intake of less than 10.5 units per week there is an increased risk of mouth, throat and breast cancer.
Research in Wales between 2008 and 2012 showed a decrease in those drinking above guidelines in all age groups, with males reported as drinking more than females in all age groups. The age group most commonly reported as drinking was those aged between 35-44.
But with the social aspect of university revolving so heavily around alcohol, is excessive drinking too engrained in our culture to let go of? We are drinking less compared with earlier generations of students, and with pushes like Dry January it appears that there is a shift away from excessive alcohol use.
