Thunderstorm cools summer heat
June 17, 2010 | Posted by Chris
Beginning around 7 am this morning, a thunderstorm slammed most of Beijing with rains that caused "chaos" on the roads and affected more than 600 flights, Xinhua News writes. Coming off the end of the 3-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, commuters today were greeted with delays in addition to typical rush-hour traffic -- one commuter says a ride that normally takes 20 minutes today took 1 hour. At the Capital Airport, authorities reported about two-thirds of an inch had fallen in the span of a few hours, which resulted in the cancellation of 201 flights and delays for 414 flights. On the positive side, the temperature today was much cooler than it typically is this time of year: the rain knocked today's high down to 80 degrees fahrenheit from yesterday's high of 91.

For those whose youth was accompanied by the sweet voice of Mary Wells, the news of her death was sobering. The woman who gave us "My Guy," and "You Beat Me To the Punch" was only 49, a victim of cancer.
But there's an even bigger and sadder story in the way Ms. Wells ended her days. She had no health insurance. She lost her modest rented home because of medical bills, and had to be bailed out to the tune of thousands of dollars by her fellow entertainers.

Courts have usually held that purchasing a competitor's trademark as a keyword on Google does not constitute trademark infringement or unfair competition. There is, however, no general rule. Every case has its own unique set of facts, and a court will carefully examine the relevant facts to determine whether your conduct creates a likelihood of confusion with your competitor's trademark.
The leading case in Utah is 1-800 Contacts, Inc. v. Lens.com, Inc., 755 F. Supp.2d 1151 (D. Utah 2010) (affirmed by the Tenth Circuit in 1-800 Contacts, Inc. v. Lens.com, Inc., 722 F.3d 1229 (10th Cir. 2013)). In that case, Lens.com and its affiliates purchased the keyword "1 800 contact lenses" and other similar variations in Google's AdWords program. As a result, when a person looking to purchase contact lenses online entered "1 800 contact lenses" or a similar variation into the Google search box, an advertisement (sponsored link) for Lens.com appeared at the top of the results page, above the search results. 1-800 Contacts was understandably concerned that this practice would divert potential 1-800 Contacts customers to Lens.com. 1-800 Contacts accordingly sued Lens.com, and asked the court to order Lens.com to stop purchasing keywords incorporating the 1-800 Contacts trademark.
The court denied 1-800 Contacts' request for an injunction, finding that consumers were not likely to be confused by the display of an ad for Lens.com on a search results page for 1-800 Contacts. The court compared it to a situation in which a consumer asks a pharmacist for Advil, and the pharmacist directs the consumer to an aisle where the consumer is presented with a wide variety of pain relief choices on the shelves surrounding Advil. In this analogy, the Google search results page is the "pharmacist", 1-800 Contacts is "Advil", and Lens.com is one of the other pain relief products on the shelves. In the court's view, a Google search results page displaying ads and search results for multiple different contact lens suppliers is no different than a drugstore aisle with multiple different pain relief products on the shelves. Lens.com did nothing wrong by displaying its product on the same Google search results page as 1-800 Contacts.
Three important points in the court's analysis should be noted: (1) the Lens.com ads that appeared on the 1-800 Contacts search results page did not contain any reference to 1-800 Contacts; (2) Google's records showed that only a very small number of users (less than 2%) clicked on the Lens.com ads; and (3) the keywords purchased by Lens.com included the generic word "contacts". Had those facts been different, the court's holding might have been different. You should consult with an attorney before purchasing a competitor's keywords on Google (or Amazon or other online venue) to make sure that the facts of your particular case are likely to support a judicial outcome in your favor if your competitor sues you for trademark infringement based on your keywords purchasing program.

Public safety
Tampa-based IT director used webcams to spy on female employees
TAMPA - When women who worked for a national advertising firm noticed their computer web cameras appeared to turn on at unusual times, they notified their bosses. It turns out the company's information technology director was using a software program to leer at the women in Atlanta from Tampa, where he worked. On Thursday, the former IT director, Christopher Scott Channer, 34, pleaded guilty in Tampa to a federal charge of intercepting communications. Channer faces up to five years in prison, but he is likely to receive less under the terms of a plea agreement. Channer told the FBI in February that he had activated a program called "Theft Tracker" on the computers of female employees he found attractive. The program enables users to remotely obtain screen images of computers and activate web cameras in the event a computer is stolen.Channer told FBI agents he "saw pictures that he probably should not have" but did not intend to humiliate or blackmail anyone, according to his plea agreement. He confessed to activating the web cameras dozens of times and viewing at least one image of a female employee whose breast was exposed. The advertising company, 22squared, had no comment on Channer's plea. According to Channer's plea agreement, the FBI began investigating two years ago following an internal investigation by the Atlanta-based advertising firm. The firm had hired Deloitte, a professional service firm, to do a full forensic scan of the computers belonging to members of the firm's IT department, the only people who could have remotely activated other employees' webcams. Deloitte determined the webcams had been activated by a program called LanRev, which has Theft Tracker as a component. Channer's responsibilities included activating LanRev. Channer was fired from the firm Sept. 10, 2010, for inappropriate use of company resources, and his computer was confiscated. A database examination determined that Channer had captured about 1,200 images via webcam and more than 1,400 desktop screen shots. Among the screen shots was an email sent by one employee to another — the basis for the charge of intercepting communications. Defense lawyer Mark Rankin said Channer is "someone with an exemplary employment history and a young family and, by all accounts, a good guy who made a mistake, an isolated incident, and he's very remorseful. "His hope is he can receive a sentence of probation and restitution and stay home with his family."

Black Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
If you can't tell by all of the ice cream recipes that I have on my blog, ice cream is my weakness. I can pass up just about every other dessert, but if there's ice cream-it's over! 🙂 During the summer months there is usually a constant supply of homemade ice cream in my freezer. Every summer I set out to try every ice cream recipe that I have bookmarked over the cold winter months. This was one of the first ice cream recipes that I set out to recreate as soon as cherry season arrived. I'm a huge fan of the chocolate and cherry combo, so when I took my first bite of Graeters Black Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, I was in heaven. I had to recreate it in my own kitchen!
Loaded with chunks of fresh cherries and rich chocolate chunks in every bite, this ice cream is a cherry lovers dream! As soon as I tasted one bite I knew it was a winner. In fact, Andrew declared this ice cream his absolute favorite (of course he said that about the Mocha Chip as well! 😉 ) If you haven't bought an ice cream maker yet, you really should! Nothing is as good as homemade!
Black Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Black cherry ice cream loaded with chunks of fresh cherries and rich chocolate chunks.
Yield: 1 quart
3 cups (about 1 pound) pitted sweet cherries, quartered
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 teaspoons canola oil
In a small saucepan, stir together the cherries and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Simmer over medium heat about 8 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly. Let cool.
Set a medium sized bowl over a large container of ice water.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk, cream and 1/2 cup sugar stirring occasionally, until steam appears and the liquid is hot (175 degrees) about 5 minutes.
When the milk mixture is cooking, in a separate bowl, whisk the yolks and 1/4 cup of sugar together until smooth. Slowly whisk about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks to temper them. Then slowly whisk the tempered yolk mixture back into the remaining hot milk mixture. Continue to cook the custard mixture over medium heat until it is very hot but not simmering (180-185 degrees). Immediately pour custard into bowl set in the ice bath and let cool, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Remove the custard mixture from the ice bath. Stir in vanilla extract. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until very cold (40 degrees), at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
A few minutes before you plan to churn the ice cream, place semisweet chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Set bowl over saucepan containing barely simmering water; heat mixture until chocolate is melted and whisk until smooth. Stir in oil and transfer to a ziploc bag; set aside.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream canister and churn following the manufacturer's instructions until the mixture resembles the consistency of thick whipped cream. Add the cherry mixture. A Snip the corner of the ziploc bag that the chocolate is in, and while the machine is running, slowly drizzle the chocolate into the ice cream. After chocolate is added, continue churning until the mixture resembles soft served ice cream.
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Cover the container and freeze the ice cream until it is firm, about 3 hours.

That looks so incredible. Gosh I need a big bowl of that right now!
Mmmm it's like this recipe was made for me. (ha) Seriously, there's nothing I love more than cherries in ice cream.
This looks wonderful! My husband especially loves the chocolate-cherry combo so maybe I will have to make this for him. You're right, I haven't regretted my ice cream maker purchase one bit!
My mouth is watering just looking at the photo! I can't wait to try this one! It looks a lot like Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia (which is one of my favorites!)
Your ice cream looks so good!!!
It makes me want to go get some Ice Cream right away.
( If I have it in the house…it usually dosent last that long ) =)
Oh Wow! That is just gorgeous!
I just picked some cherries off my cherry tree last night!! Now I know what to use them for!
I've been making tons of ice cream and just yesterday my husband asked if I could look for his favorite, black cherry…and….wah la!! Thank you! Looks delicious! Just made Cook's Illustrated fresh strawberry this morning (best I've found so far) and orange creamsicle…yummy! Your picture is fabulous!
Wow! Chock full of cherries. Looks great, Christina,
Graeter's ice cream is amazing but there's nothing like homemade. I love my ice cream maker and will totally be making cherry ice cream next!
Love cherries and love homemade icecream so this is something I'll definitely be making!
Oh man… this looks like homemade Cherry Garcia! Beautiful!!
Delish! This recipe will NOT disappoint. I am glad I found a great cherry ice cream recipe. I've wasted so many ingredients trying two other recipes. Thanks Christina.

Takuya Kimura is arguably the most popular and influential Japanese artist, both in Japan and Asia for the past 10-12 years.
Takuya Kimura Profile
Name: Takuya Kimura
Japanese name: 木村 拓哉
Nickname: Kimutaku
DOB: November 13, 1972
Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan
Height: 176cm
Blood type: O
Profession: Actor and singer
(Also known as Kimura Takuya)
Takuya Kimura Biography
Takuya Kimura was enrolled into Johnny & Associates talent agency which specializes in young male teen idols at the age of 15.
Takuya was first drafted into 12 members unit Skate Boys before forming SMAP in 1988 with the other 5 members (Takuya Kimura + Masahiro Nakai, Goro Inagaki, Katsuyuki Mori, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Shingo Katori – Katsuyuki left the team in mid-90s to pursue other interest).
SMAP started their career acting in B-list drama and modelling, before making their singing debut in 1991 with single "Can't Stop!! ~Loving", which was not a great hit.
While their singing career was stalling, SMAP began hosting a variety show "I Love SMAP" and gradually gaining popularity.
1993 was the breakthrough year for both SMAP; they finally released a couple of hit singles and rising in fame. Takuya made a breakthrough himself after starring as the main actor in TV drama "Asunaro Hakusho" which turned out to be quite a hit.
SMAP continued to exile since then, both as a team and individually. Takuya in particular became highly demanded model, with youngsters mimicking his style and fashion. The trend gradually became the "Kimutaku Syndrome" as referred by the press, and Takuya began to gain notice outside of Japan.
1996 was another breakthrough year for Takuya… he starred in TV drama "Long Vacation" alongside Tomoko Yamaguchi. The drama was a super hit in Japan and the popularity spread across Asia; and opened the path for Japanese drama to dominate Asian market in mid-late 90s.
Takuya became a superstar and continues to star in countless high rating dramas, including "Love Generation", "Beautiful Life", "Hero", "Good Luck", "Pride" and "Engine" etc.
Takuya also starred in some movies, including award winning Chinese movie "2046" directed by renowned director Wong Kar Wai in 2004; co-starring a strong Chinese cast of Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi etc.
His latest movie is "Hero", a special sequel to the popular (same title) TV drama in 2001. Besides featuring Takako Matsu and the same cast in the drama, the movie also featured a short appearance from popular Korean star Lee Byung-hun. The end result… a blockbuster movie in 2007.
In personal life, Takuya Kimura married Shizuka Kudo, another pop idol in 2000. They have a pair of daughters… Kokomi was born in 2001, while Mitsuki in 2003. Takuya is often regarded as a good father.

Cool, delicious cucumber salad. For a pretty salad, peel only half of each cucumber, leaving strips of skin on each.
I was looking for a recipe similar to my great aunt's "cucumber pickles" and this came pretty close. I made it for Memorial Day and my family really enjoyed it. One tip: You really need to salt the cucumbers before making the rest of the recipe to draw out excess water. I don't salt ANYTHING but I won't skip this step with this recipe. For all of the reviewers who ended up with too much liquid, I think this is why. I used 2 english cucumbers, sliced them thin and then sprinkled one tablespoon salt over them and covered with plastic wrap for 2 hours. This will sweat out excess liquid that can be poured off before proceeding with the recipe. It is absolutely unnecessary to boil anything -just pour everything over the cukes after salting and let set in fridge overnight. I also reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup. Wonderful! - 03 Jun 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This recipe was OK. Really this recipe comes down to a couple of things. The amount of cucumbers that you use and your taste. For those who like a little bite,you'll have to use more vinegar,for those who don't,use more sugar. I actually had to double both. I found that if you add the DILL into the water,vinegar,sugar mixture when on the stove, it has a better taste and mixes better. Also, adding salt and pepper to the cucumbers and onions BEFORE the mixture is a MUST. That small change makes a world of difference to the taste. - 12 Aug 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
HELPFUL TIPS AFTER MAKING THIS SEVERAL TIMES: These tips are just a reminder for my old age what I did after so many test trials. The person who recommended using an english cucumber hit the key!! We wondered what was different about our recipe than the person we were trying to copy and that was it!! BUT... normal cucumbers also taste great, I just could tell a difference. Then the person who said for 1 cucumber, 1/2C white vinegar, 1/4C sugar, 1/4C water, sprinkle salt lightly after you've sliced them, and then 1/2t dill got it right! With 4 large cucumbers,, I'd definitely double the liquids or there would not be enough liquid to soak this all up. I always omit the onions! I think you have to kind of know what you're about to make to really appreciate this recipe b/c before I had this... this would have tasted and looked gross on paper. I knew what I was looking for, so there were no surprises. It's our favorite! ...or at least my husband's. It's my favorite just b/c he thinks I'm the best now that I can make his mom's "secret" cucumber dish His mom also does the salt with a T in Tupperware for 2-3 hrs, rinse the 2/3C+ of water you'll have left, and then continue with recipe. Also better to marinate overnight. - 29 Apr 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Our edge is your edge.
Did you know some facilities hire coaches that have never wrestled before? If you are wrestling as a hobby, that may work just fine. But when you want a competitive edge, it's a waste of time and money.
We're different. Devoted. Our three head coaches are former college wrestlers and hold seven high school state championships between them.
In addition, we strive to keep our classes limited to one instructor for every six students. This ensures every athlete gets equal attention as we train. Our personalized approach helps students stay focused while rapidly accelerating their competitive edge.
Meet Founder & Head Coach Josh Gannon
A former Division 1 and 2x high school state wrestling champion, Josh Gannon founded Competitive Edge Sports and the Cornhusker Wrestling Club upon volunteering as a wrestling coach shortly after college.
As a MMA and wrestling athlete he was frustrated by the quality of instruction at most facilities and the fact that local athletes couldn't get meaningful year round training.
What started with three little wrestlers and classes in the basement of a friend's martial art facility, has grown into an elite sports training center for Lincoln's youth, serving more than 200 students in its 7,500 square foot facility.
- 2x High school State champion
- Less than 10 losses throughout high school career
- Former Division 1 collegiate wrestler

Consistency = Progress

In addition, we build upon solid wrestling fundamentals and are always working to progress each athlete every single time they step onto our mats.
Absolute Beginner?
Advancing to Nationals?
We own our facility which means we set our schedules; so there is never any waiting around for mats to open up. Because of this organized approach, we are able to offer classes seven days a week for a variety of skill and age levels.
There is no need to be intimidated if you are brand new to wrestling. We ALL started as beginners. CES welcomes boys and girls as young as pre-kindergarten all the way up to advanced athletes training for a state title or college scholarship.
Scholarship Opportunities
We're not simply running a wrestling facility, we're training champions.
Whatever your wrestling goal, we'll help you achieve it: in elementary, middle school, high school, and college.
Our former Division 1 wrestling coaches have college connections and know what it takes to get your son or daughter's foot in the door at the university level.
Training at CES will give your athlete a competitive edge because we know what college coaches are specifically looking for! For more information about our private and semi-private advanced high school training click here →

How To: Paint a Metal Door
Metal doors offer great benefits in security and weather resistance, but to keep their surfaces welcoming and rust-free, you have to keep up with the painting. Here's how to brighten up a worn, scratched, or just tired-looking metal door with a fresh coat of paint.
Steel doors are wonderful at keeping the wind and weather out of our homes, and they're remarkably durable—they can last a lifetime. The paint that covers them, however, will not last that long. So, if your house has a metal door, at some point you'll be faced with repainting it. It's not a difficult job, but as with any painting project, the final results will be directly impacted by your preparation. Read on to learn what steps you should take to give your metal door a makeover that will last.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS Available on Amazon
– Screwdriver
– Hammer
– Sawhorses
– Degreasing cleaner
– Sponge
– Finegrit sandpaper (or sanding block)
– Dust mask
– Safety goggles
– Painter's tape
– Newspaper
– Exterior primer
– Satin (or semigloss) exterior paint
– Trimsize paint roller
– Shortnap roller cover
– Paint tray
– Small paintbrush (or sponge applicator)
Before you get started, know that paint drying times and environmental factors can turn this into a multiday project. If you are able to securely lock your door with an exterior storm door, you can remove the door to paint it. (Note: You will not be able to rehang it until it is completely dry.) If you can't secure your home without the door, you'll need to paint it in place, which may wind up taking longer.If you can remove the door without compromising your home security, place a screwdriver under the head of the hinge pin and lightly tap it with a hammer until you're able to pull it out. Repeat with the other hinges, and remove the door.
Begin by prepping the door for painting. Before you dig in, however, note that doors painted prior to 1978 are likely to have lead-based paint on them. If your door does have lead-based paint, follow EPA guidelines for removal. If you have any question, have the paint tested prior to beginning this project.Once you've taken the door off its hinges, lay it across two sawhorses or on a large, flat surface. Wash the entire door thoroughly with a degreasing cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions, then dry it with a towel.
Next, put on your dust mask and safety glasses, and go over the door lightly with fine-grit sandpaper or a sanding block to rough up the surface and remove any loose paint. Take off any removable weatherstripping, and apply painter's tape over any hinges or hardware. Protect kickplates or windows that can't be removed by taping newspaper over them. Once again, wipe down the entire door to remove all the dust from sanding, and allow the door to completely air-dry.
If your door has a smooth surface, just roll on your first coat of primer with a short-nap roller, and let it dry. If your door has recessed panels, start by using a small brush to paint the inside panels first. Then, roll the mullion (the vertical section between the panels). Follow up by rolling paint onto the rails (the horizontal pieces between the panels). Finish by painting all the outside edges. Allow the primer to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions, and apply a second coat, if necessary, the same way you did the first.
Paint the door with at least two coats of exterior satin or semi-gloss paint, following the same process you did for the primer and being sure to leave the recommended amount of drying time between coats. If you have to paint the door while it's on its hinges, plan to work over a stretch of days when there is no rain in the forecast. Prep the door one day, and then start your first coat of primer bright and early the next morning. If you start early enough, you should have time for the paint to dry before you close the door for the night. Get going on the second coat the first thing the next morning, with the goal of its being dry by nighttime. Continue in this fashion until you've applied as many coats as are necessary.
After the paint has dried completely, carefully remove the painter's tape and replace any hardware or weatherstripping you removed. Then, rehang the door.
It's amazing how a fresh coat of paint on a door can really lift the spirits of an entire facade. If you allow time for careful preparation and sufficient drying, your rejuvenated metal front door will look great and welcome visitors for many years to come.

So remember that time we speculated that after Reese Witherspoon and Anne Hathaway in pink and Amber Tamblyn in yellow, colored wedding dresses were a thing?
Apparently Jessica Biel went and wore a pink-and-white gown to her Italian wedding to Justin Timberlake. According to stylist Bobbie Thomas, whose blog post on the event was picked up by Us Weekly, these are the deets: a pink and white Giambattista Valli dress with a "princess-like silhouette" with a separate frock for the reception.
People and Hello! have some exclusive pics of the pink dress, which can be seen below.
So there you have it: after not one, not two, but three pink wedding dresses (plus some yellow and green thrown in for good measure), the trend for colored wedding dresses is official.
Deal with it.
See the dress below! Do you approve?

Comments from customers who bought this item:
Find Your Sound
These basses have a bright and natural tone which comes from the high output humbucking pickup. The 2 band active preamp gives you control over volume, bass and treble so you have maximum flexibility whilst finding your sound. The preamp is powered by a 9 volt battery which sits in an easy-to-open compartment making changes simple and easy. This battery should last for several months under normal use, especially if you unplug the cable when you're not using the bass.
Slim Satin Neck
The Ray4 Bass Guitar has a superior 6 bolt neck joint designed by Music Man which gives you strength, stability and great tone. The unobtrusive neck heel allows you easy access to the higher frets so you can easily explore the fingerboard.
The feel of the neck is important in a bass because of the amount of contact your hand has with it and the frequency of movement. The super smooth satin finish on the back of the neck is non glossy, never gets sticky and stays fresh.
Easy Adjustments
The SUB neck adjustments are quick and easy, requiring no special tools. The small thumbwheel located at the end of the fingerboard is easy, quick and convenient and can be adjusted without removing the neck or strings. If you need to adjust the angle or height of the pickup, 3 screw adjustment makes this easy too.
The output jack is cleverly placed at the top of the body which means you won't be fumbling round trying to plug in your cable. Located on the control plate, the jack is secure and won't easily pull or get damaged when placed in a guitar stand. The heavy duty jack is designed to withstand plenty of use and abuse!

If anyone can appreciate an unexpected collaboration, it's singer-songwriter Lisa Bell. Her most recent album, The Italian Project, began when the Boulder native reconnected with a high school friend she hadn't seen in more than 25 years. The friends reunited through Facebook and it sparked an idea that would affect the next four years of Bell's music career.
"I realized she had a band in Italy and it resulted in a back and forth series of concerts and tours, and I actually went to Italy in 2011," Bell says. "We Skyped and wrote songs, and it turned in to this beautiful project."
Bell hopes she'll see her fair share of new creative partnerships flourish at her annual art show, mmmmmBoulder, at The Dairy Center for the Arts. This will be the event's third year bringing together Boulder County musicians, performing artists, filmmakers, foodies and modern artists. Bell says that by mutually exposing each other to new things, she hopes the community will stoke the flames of Boulder's art scene.
"I really wanted to create an outlet where all of the artists could present their work all in one place and people could cross-pollinate [interests] with one another," Bell explains. "So people who are film buffs can experience new music for the first time and people who are art lovers can discover all of the other things offered."
mmmmmBoulder's main event is a seated live show that switches between short films and music, with live art and performance art elements tossed in the mix. To accompany one of Bell's songs, for example, Frequent Flyers Productions, Inc. will stage an aerial dance performance and, during another musical act, Jane Whittlesey will paint onstage. But to make sure mmmmmBoulder is a cohesive experience, the night has a thematic thread to tie everything together: "Be uplifted by the best of Boulder's arts."
The founder of Janis Kelly & the Global Soul Experience and Earthdance, singer Janis Kelly, says this is the perfect venue for her songs that promote peace and cultural understanding.
"I really am a soul singer, but I like to call it higher vibe soul, because the music definitely has a message with it," Kelly says. "So all the music will be funky, soulful, danceable, but also uplifting."
The evening's six shorts, each under 15 minutes in length, will also keep the night's tone lighthearted. "Good Dog," for one, tells the delightful story of a dog who can see the future. Director Don Sniffin says he had a great time training his own dog for the shoot.
"I would use a doggy treat, and she would run to a certain spot and lay down and get a treat," Sniffin says. "Now she'll just run to that spot, lay down and wait for her treat. I'm like, 'Goofball, I didn't say action!'" For another film, "Pueblo," filmmakers Eve Richer and Ben Raznick cast a mannequin head ("Erika") as a main character. Shot entirely in Spain during Richer and Raznick's teaching stint abroad, their film exists in a world where everyone views Erika as real. Raznick says that at a certain point, the character took on a life of its own in their small town.
"I think people at first thought it was a weird, crazy idea, but it was pretty immediate that they started falling in love with this mannequin head," Raznick says. "It was this kind of phenomenon."
The monologues, performed by The Catamounts, are a new addition in the lobby this year, along with rock balancing by the internationally recognized Mike Grab in front of the building. Before the show and during intermission, locally owned natural product companies will dole out samples and Comida and Heirloom food trucks will have food for purchase outside.
The lobby of The Dairy Center for the Arts will also house various modern art selections, ranging from metal jewelry by Linda Parks to revamped broken guitars by Kahlie Sue Pinello. Pinello says that, as an artist who only began refining her craft full-time three years ago, she is grateful for the supportive community of artists and patrons that mmmmmBoulder fosters.
"There's a lot of people that are more educated than I am, more skilled than I am, but to have a community back you up and push you so that they expect from you and are excited for you, that is what makes you," Pinello says. "I find that this mmmmmBoulder really embraces that and all the different arts."
Respond: email@example.com
ON THE BILL: mmmmmBoulder takes place on Saturday, April 27, at The Dairy Center for The Arts. The lobby opens at 5:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the door or at www.thedairy.org/frontgate.

Savona Vado is one of the major cruise ports in the Med Sea and a "bridge" for Corsica. From 1996 to 2014 over 15 million passengers had travelled through its cruise and ferry terminals.
Thanks to the central position of Savona with respect to the international airports of Genoa (35 km), Nizza-Cote d'Azur (160 km) and Milan Malpensa (220 km), the Palacrociere terminal (directly managed by Costa Crociere) acts mainly as homeport and its facilities are specifically designed to ensure efficient check in/check out operations of passengers and luggage.
During the recent years the transit share (today covering over 20% of the total traffic) has been steadily growing, thanks to Savona's proximity to many appealing tourist targets: Eastbound, the historical town of Genova with its aquarium and the charming Portofino; Westbound, the Principality of Monaco and the sparkling Monte Carlo; in the hinterland, many destinations among Piedmont's history and flavours; last but not least, Savona itself, "the town of the Popes", and the neighbouring Albissola, among the European capitals of ceramic handcrafts.
At the end of 2008 a further cruise quay was launched, allowing the terminal to host three vessels at the same time: Costa Crociere has built a second maritime station ( Terminal East) on the area behind the new quay, to ensure a high quality of reception services.
The port of Vado Ligure plays a key role as for ferry traffic: Forship operates the ro-ro terminal which offers regular services to Corsica over the year, with three trips a day in summer, when more than 300,000 passengers move for a holiday on the French island.Costa Cruises website


text: Some of the largest opportunities to save energy and reduce operating costs in buildings and industrial facilities come from optimizing electric motor systems. About half of all electricity consumed in the U.S. flows through motors, 90 percent of which are alternating-current (AC) induction motors. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that on average, the manufacturing sector could reduce industrial electric motor energy use 11 to 18 percent by using proven efficiency technologies and practices. In a single year, a fully-loaded motor operating continuously can consume energy worth about 10 times its initial cost. That's why even small improvements in efficiency can pay back quickly. The key is to choose the right-sized, energy-efficient motor and to integrate it into an optimized drivepower system. What are the options? this section The AC induction motor is the dominant motor technology in use today, representing more than 90 percent of installed motor capacity. Induction motors are available in single-phase and polyphase configurations, in sizes ranging from fractions of a horsepower to tens of thousands of horsepower. They may run at fixed speeds—most commonly 900, 1,200, 1,800, or 3,600 rpm—or be equipped with an adjustable-speed drive. The most commonly used AC motors by far have a squirrel-cage configuration, so named because of the shape of the rotor bar structure. Wound-rotor models, in which coils of wire turn the rotor, are also available. Although they are expensive, they offer greater control of the motor's performance characteristics and are therefore most often used for special torque and acceleration applications and for adjustable-speed applications. The major choice facing motor specifiers is whether or not to select a motor that complies with an efficiency specification developed by the National Electrical Manufacturer's Association (NEMA)—known as NEMA Premium. To meet NEMA Premium specifications, a motor must exceed the minimum efficiency mandated by law (through the 1992 Energy Policy Act in the U.S. and the Canadian Standards Association's 1995 Standard C-747) by between 0.4 and 3.0 percentage points, depending upon the size and type of motor. More information about NEMA Premium specifications is available here. Note that the NEMA Premium specification will become the minimum efficiency standard for all general-purpose motors between 1 and 200 horsepower sold in the U.S. after December 19, 2010. It has also been proposed as a new standard for motors sold in Canada beginning January 1, 2011. Premium-efficiency motors often carry a price premium as well, but depending on motor size and type, some premium-efficiency models are available at little or no price premium (Figure 1). Figure 1: Normalized price premium versus efficiency gain, 10- and 100-horsepower TEFC motors Price and efficiency often bear little or no relationship, as can be seen in these charts for 10- and 100-hp totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motors. In each chart, diamonds indicate general-purpose, 2-pole motors with identical frames and no special features. Diamonds enclosed in squares indicate motors that also share the same insulation class and service factor. In retrofit situations, users have the choice of repairing failed motors or replacing them. It is becoming common practice among energy-conscious companies to replace all failed, moderate-duty induction motors up to about 125 horsepower (hp) with new premium-efficiency models rather than repairing and rewinding the failed motor. If not done carefully, rewinding can decrease motor efficiency by up to 2 percent. How to make the best choice this section Determine the cost-effectiveness of a premium-efficiency motor. AC motors are available in a wide range of efficiencies (see Figure 2). The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) mandates that nearly all three-phase, general-purpose motors manufactured for sale in the U.S. after 1997 meet new minimum-efficiency levels. But EPACT only applies to certain "general-purpose" types of motors and to motors up to 200 hp. To obtain maximum energy savings, specify NEMA Premium rather than just "high-efficiency." Although the economics will vary by application, a premium-efficiency motor under typical operation will often pay for its price premium in reduced energy bills within a year or two. A quick calculation to determine motor savings is outlined in the sidebar. Figure 2: Range of available motor efficiencies for 3,600-rpm TEFC motors The data show that a range of efficiencies is available for totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motors at each size, from the EPAct standard to values well in excess of the NEMA Premium standard. Plots for 3,600-rpm open drip-proof (ODP) motors and for both TEFC and ODP motors with synchronous speeds show similar ranges of motor efficiency. How to calculate savings from motor efficiency upgrades For applications in which a motor will operate at constant speed according to a well-defined schedule, calculating the savings for motor efficiency upgrades is a fairly straightforward exercise. Here's how it is done: S = 0.746 x C x LF x N x [(100/ES) – (100/EH)] x PAVG Where: S = annual cost savings 0.746 = conversion from horsepower to kilowatts C = nameplate horsepower of the motor LF = load factor for application N = number of operating hours per year ES = efficiency of existing motor EH = efficiency of proposed motor PAVG = average cost per kilowatt-hour for electricity For evaluations of more complicated applications, or if hand calculations aren't your cup of tea, consider using a computer program called MotorMaster+. It contains an extensive database of motors, including efficiency and price for each, which allows the user to easily compare the economics of different motor selections. For information on the MotorMaster+ motor selection software, contact Motor Challenge Information Clearinghouse, Olympia, WA, tel 800-862-2086, fax 206-586-8303. Think systematically. The full potential of an efficient motor can best be captured if it is integrated into an optimized drivepower system. This may be difficult to do in retrofit applications, but it is very important when designing new systems, for which all components can be right-sized from the start. Properly optimized motor systems often use less than half the energy of systems designed according to standard rules of thumb. To create an efficient drivepower system, select efficient, properly sized models of the equipment that the motor will drive, such as pumps and fans. (The DOE also offers a free Pump System Assessment Tool that can help industrial users assess the efficiency of their pumping system operations. For more information on sizing fans, see the guide on Fans. Check to see that pressure drops in coils, heat exchangers, or other auxiliary devices are optimized for good life-cycle economics. Use efficient, properly aligned belts, cogged belts, or direct-drive connections between the motor and the equipment to minimize power loss through friction. Select the right controls to regulate motor and equipment operation. Buy the right size of motor. Motors operate at their highest efficiency between about 60 percent and 100 percent of their full-rated load, dropping off sharply in efficiency below 50 percent loading. About one-third of motors in the field are so oversized that they operate below 50 percent of rated load most of the time. Motors only operate at their peak efficiency if they are sized correctly for the load they drive. In addition to operating inefficiently, oversized motors carry a higher first cost than right-sized units. They can also contribute to reduced power factor, which increases load on the building's electrical system and can result in utility fees for low power factor. Watch your speed. When replacing an old motor with a new premium-efficiency model in fan and pump applications, make sure the new motor's full-load speed is the same as or slower than that of the old motor (making certain, of course, that it meets the minimum speed necessary for the application). The energy required by many fan and pump applications varies with the cube of the rotational speed of the fan or pump, so increasing its speed by only 10 percent can increase energy use by more than 33 percent. Therefore, putting in a premium-efficiency motor that rotates faster than the old standard-efficiency one may negate predicted energy savings. It may be necessary to adjust fan sheaves or pump impeller diameters to achieve the correct motor speed. The MotorMaster+ software can help you correctly allow for speed differences in calculating energy savings. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of ASDs. Adjustable-speed drives (ASDs) are electronic or mechanical devices that allow a motor designed for single-speed operation to drive a load at variable speeds. By controlling load speed so that it closely corresponds to varying load requirements, ASDs can reduce energy consumption—and in some cases, energy savings can exceed 50 percent. Variable-frequency drives—electronic ASDs that vary the voltage and frequency of the power provided to the motor—can also improve power factor and provide performance benefits such as soft-starting and overspeed capability. ASDs require a small amount of power to operate, so motors with an ASD consume more power at full load than single-speed motors. However, it takes very little time operating at part load to make up this difference. ASDs can be cost-effective in cases with average loadings as high as 90 percent, but an analysis should be performed for each individual case based on the time spent at part-load conditions and efficiency with and without the ASD. (For more information about ASDs, see the guide on Adjustable-Speed Drives.) Account for the motor's impact on power factor. Power factor is an indicator of how much of a power system's capacity is available for productive work. Low power factor is undesirable because it increases the load on a building's electrical system, and utilities sometimes charge customers a penalty for facilities with low power factor. Because power factor is lower when a motor is lightly loaded, be sure to choose the right-sized motor. You can also specify a motor with a high power factor, but such models sometimes have lower efficiency. The ultimate selection depends in part on whether a facility is subject to power factor penalty charges. A facility with a significant number of induction motors and a low power factor can solve the problem with premium-efficiency motors that are properly sized. If new motors are not an option, other power factor correction methods are available, including static capacitor banks, rotary condensers, and static and dynamic volt-ampere reactive (VAR) devices. What's on the horizon? this section As noted above, all general-purpose AC induction motors from 1 to 200 horsepower capacity sold in the U.S. will have to comply with the NEMA Premium efficiency specification as of December 19, 2010. Regulations have been proposed in Canada to adopt the same efficiency levels by January 1, 2011. Who are the manufacturers? this section The U.S. motor industry is relatively fragmented—roughly 20 manufacturers make most of the integral-horsepower induction motors sold in the U.S., and none of them dominate the market. Many of the selected manufacturers listed here also sell variable-speed motors, which can help to match the motor to variable loads. A.O. Smith Baldor Electric Co. Brook Crompton General Electric Co.

So as you go to find yourself,
Don't look too hard,
You may pass yourself by,
Reaching too high,
Wanting the other side of life.
And as you go to take your place,
Don't go too fast,
Just pretend there's no end,
Make yourself last
Till the other side of iife.
One day you'll find
Your restless searching at an end,
You'll think the world has changed
But it's just you my friend.
So as you go to please your heart.
Please take your time,
Someone's waiting there too,
Waiting for you
On the other side of life.
She's waiting for you
On the other side of life.

Because of Becky's efforts, the New Orleans Paralegal Association is better known, not only in the legal community of New Orleans, but in the overall general community as well.
New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) January 28, 2013
Becky Rolland, President of the New Orleans Paralegal Association, was named Paralegal of the Year by Avansic: E Discovery & Digital Forensics recognizing her leadership abilities, commitment to advancing the paralegal profession and dedication in serving the legal community and the community at large.
"Avansic has awarded a Paralegal of the Year for the past two years because we know how important paralegals are in all aspects of the legal business, especially in e-discovery," Dr. Gavin W. Manes, founder of Avansic said. "We want to recognize and encourage outstanding contributions by individuals whose leadership and dedication have had an extraordinary and positive impact within the legal community and Becky did just that."
Rolland, in her 24th year as a paralegal, currently works at Jones Walker LLP. Earning her Paralegal Certificate in 1992, her Certified Bankruptcy Assistant certification from the American Judicial Assistants Association in 2003, she furthered her career by passing the Paralegal Advance Competency Test in 2010 to become a Registered Paralegal. In 2008, Becky Rolland was chosen as an expert in her field and asked to submit a chapter on Bankruptcy Law in Carole A. Bruno's book Lessons From The Top Paralegal Experts: The 15 Most Successful Paralegals In America and What You Can Learn From Them. Rolland's legal experience also includes a background in energy and environmental, real estate, corporate, agricultural, maritime, personal injury and intellectual property law.
Before she became President of the New Orleans Paralegal Association (NOPA) in October, 2011, Rolland served on the Board of Directors for NOPA as Vice President and National Federation of Paralegal Association's (NFPA) Primary and Secondary Representatives. She also served on various committees for NOPA and NFPA. Kathy Williams, who has served over a decade on the Board of Directors of the New Orleans Association, had this to say regarding Ms. Rolland, "Because of her efforts, the New Orleans Paralegal Association is better known, not only in the legal community of New Orleans, but in the overall general community as well…Her leadership made a huge difference to NOPA, and set the stage for even bigger and better successes in NOPA's future and for the paralegal profession in New Orleans."
Candidates were nominated by their colleagues in the legal community and were evaluated on their commitment to volunteer work and continuing legal education, their contributions to publications and professional organizations, and their mentorship of paralegal students. Further criteria included the candidates' individual achievements that contributed to expansion of the paralegal profession and improved the efficiency of paralegal duties. Other candidates included Gayle Green of Forman, Perry Watkins, Krutz & Tardy, LLP, Germaine Galjour of Geiger, Laborde & Laperouse, LLC and Kathy Williams of Entergy. The panel of judges included Joe Mulenex, Regional Technical Director for Avansic and Dede Soule, Manager of Sales and Marketing.
