Dylan & Levi
Easy-going but hard to tell apart – twins Dylan and Levi were born with a double dose of heart trouble. Just hours old, they came to Children's Hospital and Medical Center.
Complete Story
• Why is there a 60 mile radius requirement for a family to stay at the Rainbow House?
The intention of the Carolyn Scott Rainbow House has always been to meet the needs of families who must travel outside a 60 mile radius to Omaha for services at Children's Hospital & Medical Center. Last year the Rainbow House provided lodging for families from 29 states and two countries. To make sure we are meeting the ever growing needs of these families we continue to ask that families live outside the 60 mile radius to qualify to stay at the Rainbow House.
• What if a family is within the 60 mile radius and has extenuating circumstances that would make it a hardship to travel back and forth from home?
Although, our main focus is those families who live a long distance from Children's we do make exceptions if there are extenuating circumstances. If you know or are a family with special needs please contact us. Each request will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
• A family was in the Children's Emergency Department all night long. Their child was discharged but the family has a long drive back to their home. Can the family get a room at the Rainbow House?
Depending on the circumstances and whether a room is available the family is welcome to stay if they live outside the 60 mile radius. If they are waiting for a ride after discharge due to the patient being brought in by emergency transportation the family is welcome to come to the Rainbow House and utilize the common areas of the house while waiting for their ride.
• What if a family needs a break from the hospital and they live in Omaha or within the 60 mile radius?
All families are welcome to come to the Rainbow House and use the common area facilities, which include a laundry room and kitchen. There is a media room in which a family can watch television or a movie, a meditation room and a family/game room to relax in and let children play. There is also an outdoor patio with a small playground available outside the kitchen area that is also available for Children's families. To be consistent with both those staying at the Rainbow House and those using it temporarily, we will go over the Rainbow House guidelines.
• How much does it cost to stay at the Rainbow House?
All monetary donations are greatly appreciated. There is a suggested donation per night but no one is turned away due to an inability to pay. You may make your donation using cash, check or credit card.
• Are there guidelines or policies to follow at the Rainbow House?
Yes. Upon check-in at the Rainbow House all parents, guardians or adult that is staying in a guest room will be asked for a valid ID that will be copied and attached to the guest contract. Each family is expected to sign a guest contract that explains rules and regulations for their stay. A staff associate will go over the contract with each new guest to answer any questions that he/she may have. A copy of each signed guest contract will be given to the guest for their convenience. Since the Rainbow House provides a communal setting, we ask all guests to respect other families and the house itself by following the policies. A failure to observe these policies can result in removal from the Rainbow House and the inability to stay there in the future.
• Who can stay at the Rainbow House and how many people are allowed?
Our first priority are the parents/guardians and siblings of the patient. There are a total of 56 guest rooms at the Rainbow House. All of the rooms have a queen size bed and a full size sofa bed. A few rooms provide two queen size beds and a full size sofa bed. All rooms must comply with the city's fire code, which means we cannot place more people in a room than it is allowed to accommodate. Our policy is one room per patient family. Due to our focus on the immediate family we cannot provide accommodations for extended family. A list of hotels that provide discounts for Children's families is available on request. All bathrooms have shower/tub accommodations. Four guest rooms have zero entry showers. If there are special needs or concerns please feel free to let us know so we can try to accommodate your situation.
• When should I make a reservation and when can I arrive?
We strongly suggest that as soon as you know your child's date(s) of hospitalization or treatment that you please call the Rainbow House at 402-955-7815 to be placed on the schedule. All appointments and procedures at Children's will be confirmed through our computer system. Staying at the Rainbow House is limited to the days needed for traveling and your child's appointment or procedure. If we are full, you will be provided with a list of local hotels that offer a hospital discount. We will try to provide accommodations at the Rainbow House as soon as something becomes available, if you are referred to a hotel.
• Do you serve meals? Do you have refrigerators in the rooms?
Community groups and individuals donate meals on occasion. There is a menu posted if meals are scheduled. If a donated meal is scheduled it is served buffet style from 6 - 8 pm. No meals are scheduled on Fridays or Saturdays. If you would like to bring your own food we provide a pantry with locked cabinets for each room that also contains a dorm size refrigerator. We want to provide the cleanest environment available for our families and patients so we ask that food and drink remain in the kitchen area and not be taken into the guest's room or common areas.
• How do I get to the hospital if I don't have a car?
The Rainbow House provides a shuttle at scheduled times 7 days a week. Please be sure to let staff know when you schedule your reservation that you are going to use the shuttle. You should also ask for a shuttle schedule when you arrive. Keep in mind that all children must have proper car seats to ride the shuttle. The Rainbow House does not provide children's car seats.
• Can I take a shuttle if I bring my car?
You are welcome to use the Rainbow House shuttle to Children's but do keep in mind it runs on a set schedule so you will need to plan accordingly. All children who are accompanying their parents on the shuttle must have their own car seat. The Rainbow House does not provide car seats. If you would like to use the shuttle, please ask for a schedule upon your arrival.
• What time do I need to check-in and is there someone available 24/7?
There is someone available 24/7 at the front desk for check-ins and any questions or concerns you may have. We prefer you check-in by 9 p.m. If you will be later than this, please tell us when you call to make your reservation so we can be sure staff is aware of your pending arrival.
• I have an appointment for my child in Omaha but it isn't with Children's Hospital & Medical Center or the Specialty Clinics. Can I stay at the Rainbow House?
The Carolyn Scott Rainbow House is only for those families who have a child receiving services at Children's Hospital, including the hospital, outpatient diagnostics and the specialty clinics. . We would be more than happy to give you referrals for other lodging options, if you would like.
• Can my 13-year-old daughter watch my other children while I go to my child's appointment at Children's?
Due to our concern for the safety of all children staying at the Rainbow House we ask that children under 18 years of age not be left alone at any time during their stay at the Rainbow House. This includes the outside patio, playground and the Rainbow House property.
• Can I smoke at the Rainbow House?
Smoking is not allowed within the Rainbow House but a smoking area is provided outside at the east end of the building.
• Can we have visitors?
Yes, visitors are welcome, but please do remember to be respectful of other families by limiting number, noise and practicing courteous behaviors. Additionally, we have patients with compromised immune systems so please do not let anyone who is sick with an infectious illness visit. To respect all families staying at the Rainbow House, visiting hours end at 8:30 pm. For the safety of our families visitors will not be allowed to enter the Rainbow House after 8:30 pm.

Glossy black accents, red brake calipers and 19-inch alloy wheels are some of the other enhancements of this VW GTI variant.
The 30th anniversary of the GTI-Worthersee event witnessed some of the VW Group's attempt to bring in something special to the show. Skoda's gift to the event came through the Fabia Super 2000 Rally concept car.
All you Mini fans out there, here we have something special for you. The company is reported to have approved the production of its Rocketman concept. The entry-level model comes up with a 3+1 seating arrangement, center-mounted exhaust and two-piece tailgate with a lower section that opens like a kitchen drawer.
Endora Motors has unveiled the brand new Endora SC-1. It reminds us of an Americanized Koenigsegg, though it is actually based on the Chevrolet Corvette. The new variant features an aerodynamic body kit coupled with a prominent front spoiler and HID headlights.
Early details of the Colorado concept from the Chevrolet stables have just been released. The concept will see the wraps go off it at the Bangkok International Motor Show. The concept needs to be seen as a preview to the production model that Chevy will be launching in Thailand later this year.

Peyton Manning: A Coach's Misuse of One of the Greatest Quarterbacks in FootballJanuary 14, 2013
I could not help the mental association.
I watched Peyton Manning standing on the sideline with his helmet on and a dejected expression on his face as the Baltimore offense made its way down the field for what would be the game-tying touchdown.
There is one other moment in Peyton Manning's career in which I saw that same expression: when Jim Caldwell gave up on pursuing the perfect season in favor of resting Manning for the playoff run. As Caldwell took the reigns from Manning, in what could have been an historic season, it is hard to argue that John Fox did not also take the reigns from Manning, to a certain extent, with the game on the line.
The drive that exemplifies this was Denver's last drive, with 3:12 left in the game. At this point, Baltimore still had two timeouts and Denver was down to using their third and fourth-string running backs, as Willis McGahee was still a week away from being eligible to play and Knowshon Moreno had left the game earlier due to injury.
During this drive, the Broncos ran five plays, not one of which gave Peyton the opportunity to throw the ball. I understand that football is a violent chess match and that Fox was trying to protect his lead, but why would you not trust the man who got you to that point in the playoffs to begin with?
In the interest of full discretion, I do acknowledge that I am a Peyton Manning fan. I have no interest in the Colts or Broncos, but the manner in which he plays the game and carries himself off the field garners a lot of respect. It is for that reason that I support him and want to see him reach his potential, which is why these two instances where coaches took the ball out of his hands frustrate me so.
I watched the remainder of the games this past weekend, trying to decide who to support for the remainder of the playoffs. In the last game on the weekend's slate, I saw Tom Brady absolutely light up the Houston Texans defense and had to acknowledge the play calling as the antithesis of what I saw in the Denver-Baltimore game. At no point did Bill Belichick take the ball out of Tom Brady's hands. And why should he? He is, after all, Tom Brady.
I just have to wonder why Peyton is not afforded the same level of trust.
After all, Peyton had been having a great game up to that point. He had thrown three touchdown passes that could not have been handed to the receivers in a better spot, and was methodical in his success against the Baltimore defense...when he was given the chance.
What is most bothersome is that Manning is receiving an inordinate amount of blame for Denver's loss. People are focusing on his final throw of the game, when he threw a pass across his body into the chest of a Baltimore Raven. During the course of the game, he had three turnovers: that interception, another interception that is as much the fault of the prospective receiver and a fumble that was called a little differently for Tom Brady a few years ago.
Ultimately, Peyton Manning got them there and he should have been the one to decide whether they won or lost. Over the past few days, analysts have been lumping this in with the narrative that Peyton cannot get it done in the postseason, as if the loss was his fault. That is a facile argument and completely ignores the overcautious play calling of Fox and the inexplicably bad play of Denver's secondary.
Again, I am a Peyton fan, so my opinion has to be taken with a grain of salt. I do sit here today wondering what could have been had the Broncos been more aggressive toward the end of the game. If this Denver team had advanced, we would be heavily anticipating another classic Manning-Brady showdown. The stories about Peyton chasing his second ring to tie his brother would bountiful.
In the end, what happened happened and you have to give Joe Flacco, Ray Rice, Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Torrey Smith a lot of credit for working to keep their team in the game and ultimately move on in the playoffs. But I do hope that next season, when the season is on the line, the Denver coaching staff will put the game on the capable shoulders of one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game.

Following the devastating floods of 1997 on the Red River of the
North (RRN), the National Weather Service (NWS) has initiated several
actions to improve forecast services and take advantage of "lessons
learned" from this event to improve NWS river forecast services
for the area affected by this flood and for the Nation in general.
Some of these actions were taken immediately and have been in place
for some time; others are under way as of this writing (August 1998);
still others are in planning phases and depend on budget resources
in future years. Some of the actions are highly technical in nature;
others involve improvements in coordination mechanisms, policies,
procedures, etc. An assessment of NWS services along with a very
technical study of the hydraulic characteristics of the 1997 flood
in the area of East Grand Forks, Minnesota, and Grand Forks, North
Dakota, has now been released in the report, "Red
River of the North 1997 Floods Service Assessment and Hydraulic
Analysis." This brief document reports the status of the
major actions taken since the 1997 floods. Many of the actions were
recommended in the preliminary findings of the survey team presented
in July of 1997 and are within the final service assessment report.
Before the event was over, NWS had made changes to the rating curve used for the East
Grand Forks forecast location, and NWS has continued to update this rating to be
consistent with the latest information and analyses provided by the U.S. Geological Survey
(which is the agency that collects stream flow information at the site). A widely attended
meeting at the NWS North Central River Forecast Center on July 28-30, 1997, provided the
forum for a post-flood technical review among Federal agencies (including NWS, USGS, the
US Army Corps of Engineers, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency), the Manitoba
Water Resource Branch, numerous state officials from North Dakota and Minnesota, and local
officials from the Fargo and Grand Forks areas. This technical session addressed numerous
coordination and information sharing issues raised by the service assessment. Following
this technical meeting, all parties can confirm that they are aware of all of the relevant
studies, reports, etc., that may be of value in a future event; and several procedural
changes have been adopted in the handoff of information among these organizations (e.g., a
revised method to pass forecasts to Canada). Additional planning activities under the
aegis of the International Joint Commission (IJC) have continued to involve Canadian and
U.S. officials in efforts to improve flood forecast capabilities for the RRN. And a flood
planning meeting in Grand Forks on January 21, 1998, brought together local, state and
Federal parties with interest in the 1998 snowmelt flood season in the RRN Basin (as well
as the Souris basin).
The technical procedures used by the NWS to produce forecasts for the RRN have been
looked at in great detail; and several efforts are either under way or planned to improve
on these procedures. Those improvements that can be carried out within the existing
resource base of the NWS are already under way. These include:
A few of these technical improvements were available in rudimentary form for the 1998
snowmelt season on the RRN. Presuming that no unexpected difficulties are encountered, all
but two will be fully in place for the 1999 RRN snowmelt season -- the transition of the
RRN Forecast System to recalibrated models throughout will only be partially complete; and
the development of an enhanced system for analysis and use of snow information will not be
A far more sophisticated set of model improvements is planned based on the Advanced
Hydrologic Prediction System (AHPS). This capability has been prototyped for the Des Moines River
in 1997 and is included in the budget submitted for Federal fiscal year (FY) 1999 by the
President. Based, in part, on the 1997 floods, the RRN has been identified as the highest
priority implementation area for AHPS.
Presuming AHPS budget resources are eventually provided in the FY 1999 appropriation,
NWS will:
As the first area (after the Des Moines prototype) scheduled for full-scale AHPS
implementation, the RRN has National implications for the NWS plans for future advanced
hydrologic services.
Some of the most important lessons from the RRN floods of 1997 have to do with the way
that information is provided to, interpreted by, and used by NWS customers, not just the
technical details of how the NWS produces forecasts. Here again, there are actions that
have already been taken (e.g., inclusion of discharge forecasts in handoff of data from
the NCRFC to Canada, additional explanatory information on outlooks, forecasts, and
forecast uncertainty now included in NWS products) for the RRN as well as broader
implications for the NWS as a whole. The NWS provided very early information on the risks
of severe flooding in the RRN in 1997 and attempted to convey the uncertainty in its
forecast products for this event. With the NWS planning changes in its hydrologic forecast
products under the AHPS initiative, the lessons learned from the RRN floods of 1997 are of
great interest.
The meeting in July of 1997 at NCRFC mentioned above settled many technical matters for
the RRN, but the RRN flood event of 1997 also raised coordination issues of National
significance: The USGS and the NWS have agreed to review forecast sites for the
whole Nation to determine where more complex variable rating models are needed. The NWS
will also look into options for enhancing coordination with emergency management officials
at state and local levels during similar events, consistent with NWS staff resources.
Finally, the RRN floods of 1997 have led to a review of certain NWS internal
Perhaps it is human nature to focus on the negative aspects of a devastating flood
event, but it is well to remember that many of the "lessons learned" during the
RRN floods of 1997 are things done well that should be repeated by other NWS offices in
future floods -- things such as, treating an unusual event in an unusual way by releasing
information early and by scheduling early and extra coordination meetings, taking full
advantage of the capabilities of the Airborne Gamma Snow Survey Program to quantify the
condition of the snow pack, and, overall, coming forward with the extra time and effort to
be available to the media and to explain the severity of the threat early and often to
local, state, and Federal officials. As a specific example, the NWS Central Region uses
the flood preparedness activities led by the Eastern North Dakota office in 1997 as a
guide to "best practices" for other offices to follow.
The National Weather Service is committed to providing the best possible forecast
services for future floods on the Red River of the North and for the entire Nation within
the limits of science, technology, and resources. Actions have been taken already to
improve our services to the citizens of the Red River of the North based on the
"lessons learned" from the devastating 1997 floods; other actions to improve
services are underway or planned that will continue to improve the river forecast
information that the NWS provides for the citizens of North Dakota, Minnesota, and the

For the applesauce: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the apples, lemon juice, apple cider, lemon zest, 5-spice powder and sugar and stir to mix well. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until apples begin to break down, but are still chunky. Remove from heat and cool.
For the latkes: On a box grater, grate the sweet potatoes and the parsnips. Combine potatoes and parsnip in a large bowl. Season with salt and toss to combine. Add flour and stir to distribute evenly. Add eggs and stir well. In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the chicken fat. Form the potato mixture into 3-inch latkes that are about 1/2-inch thick. Add to chicken fat and fry until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate and season with salt. Repeat this procedure with all of the potato/parsnip mixture, adding more fat as necessary.
Serve with applesauce, sour cream and green onions.

Kodak T-Max 100 (& T-Max 400) Film
Kodak T-Max 100 Film, a photo by MatthewOsbornePhotography_ on Flickr.
I started getting into film photography during 2012 and I was using the classic black and white film, Ilford FP4+. For 2013 I tried Kodak T-Max film and liked this modern emulsion using T-grain for finer more grain free results for scanning. I used 35mm T-Max 100 in my Nikon FM and Voigtlander Bessa R3A rangefinder and 120 Kodak T-Max 400 (& 100) in my medium format cameras. I tried different formats – 6×4.5 (Contax 645), 6×6 (ARAX-CM (Kiev 88)), 6×7 (Mamiya RZ 67 Pro II) and 6×9 (Moskva-5 folding camera).
I develop my own black and white film using Xtol and/or Rodinal and often via stand development. It is very easy and allows you to develop the film to get the look you desire. This is not possible if you send film to a lab. You do not need a dark room, just a 'Paterson tank'.
For colour film photography I use mostly Kodak Portra 400 for medium format and Kodak Portra 160 for 35mm. (See blog link below).
Here are some shots from 2013 to show the look obtainable from Kodak T-Max film.
35mm 135 Kodak T-Max 100 Film (Voigtlander Bessa R3A)

ARAX-CM (Kiev 88)
Mamiya RZ67
Leica M9 CCD Sensor vs. Film
The filmic look of the Leica M9 CCD sensor really threatened my continued use of using 35mm black and white film. I stopped shooting film for over 3 months once the M9 arrived. I then found time to develop some film from the Voigtlander Bessa R3A that I shot before buying the M9. The results have fully restored my faith in film. I like the imperfections and arty feel that true film photography can capture. For 2014 I look forward to using my new Leica lenses on my Bessa R3A alongside my Leica M9. I also bought Mamiya RZ 645 film back, Mamiya RZ 6×6 film back and a Mamiya RZ Polaroid film back so the future for film looks bright for 2014!

Not that long ago, I shied away from reading historical fiction. The genre just didn't appeal to me and I often said that I only like to read books set in the present. This all changed after I devoured two absolutely wonderful novels by Canadian author, Jennifer Robson. My love for the genre was born and I was very happy when Penguin Random House Canada offered me a review copy of Miss Emily. Add in that it was written by an Irish author and one of the main characters is a young Irish girl, new to America, I knew that I would love this book.
Miss Emily is an imagined account of the young adult life of famous American poet, Emily Dickinson. The Dickinson family, a somewhat eclectic bunch, hire 18-year-old Ada Concannon to work in their house as a cook and maid. The novel is told from both Emily's and Ada's perspectives, alternating voices with each chapter. The voice of Emily is prim and proper as you would expect from a young woman who loves words and is born into a highly-esteemed family, while Ada's voice is a bit more down-to-earth and playful. I love novels written this way.
Despite their class differences, Emily and Ada develop a lovely friendship that is so endearing. They share a love of baking and also discover that they share a birthday. The development of this friendship is so delightful that I wanted to read more and I didn't want their story to end.
When crisis falls upon Ada, Emily, who has become a recluse, must face her own fears to help her dear friend. Their friendship is tested and Emily comes to her friend's aid, against her family's wishes. The subject matter of the crisis may be difficult for some, but I felt it was put forth in a respectful and mature manner and was not dwelled upon.
For anyone who loves historical fiction, I recommend picking up Miss Emily for a great summer read. For those new to the genre, this book would be a great introduction. It is not too long, moves at a good pace and has well-developed characters. Having said that, the only fault I could find with this book was that it was not long enough! I look forward to reading more of Nuala O'Connor's books soon.

Actor Drake Bell has been ordered to pay a music producer almost $43,000 after allegedly failing to settle an invoice for songs he commissioned.
John Fields launched a legal battle against Bell, the star of now-defunct Nickelodeon TV show Drake & Josh, in August (12) over claims he was owed money for working on tracks for his 2011 EP A Reminder.
Bell reportedly agreed to a fee of $9,000 per tune, but he only paid for five of the nine he requested.
The 26 year old did not respond to the lawsuit, so a Los Angeles judge issued a default judgement in court this week (ends23Nov12) - and ruled in Fields' favor.
The producer, who has previously worked with Selena Gomez and The Jonas Brothers, sued for $36,000 , but was awarded a total of $42,787 for interest and legal fees, according to TMZ.com.

He's very good at imitating the style and the colors, but I think I'll enjoy him more once he finds his own groove. His work already has a sense of humor that breaks the boundaries of his inspiration, so I know it's coming. I'm looking forward to it."
Pleased to say that – if issue #2 is an indication of the direction Bradford's going with his art – that seems to be happening. The work's more detailed this time around and he does some really cool things with the colors, especially in the flames of the giant phoenix that attacks Robot 13. That sense of humor I mentioned last time is on display again too, but even larger. As a couple of guys are watching the robot-bird fight, their faces are almost manga-like in their expressiveness.
The first issue looked like Bradford was working hard to mimic Mignola. Even though he was mostly successful at that, it's great to see him relax with this issue and do his own thing. Robot 13's design will probably always be reminiscent of Mignola, but he's drawn more naturally this time. And because of that, he feels more like a real character.
Hall writes him more like a real character too. Not that I had a problem with the writing in the first issue, but the few bits that weren't a giant-cephalopod fight were mostly set up. This issue leads into the fight with 13's having a talk with one of the men who pulled him out of the ocean. The sailor interrupts 13 as he's daydreaming and I love the image of the skull-headed robot just standing at the rail and staring out to sea. That and the conversation that follows humanizes the character.
There's still a big mystery behind who created 13 and what he was intended to do – and there are some more clues this issue; clues that apparently go all the way back to ancient Greece (or is that Rome?) – but I'm glad that the mystery isn't the only interesting thing about 13. He's suddenly become interesting just as himself, too.
The conversation with the sailor is interrupted by the phoenix attack and it's quite a fight. The bird nabs the robot and takes him into the air to duke it out and like in #1, the battle is well choreographed and makes great sense. Hall and Bradford never let you lose sight of what's going on or who's doing what. It's a lot of fun with plenty of punching, dropping, grabbing, riding, ripping, and burning.
Since the fight comes out of nowhere, it adds a new dimension to the cephalopod fight from last issue. That one appeared to be more or less random, unless the creature was guarding 13. And maybe it was guarding him, but if so, whoever put the kraken-thing there is still active enough to try to get 13 back via phoenix. And if the kraken-thing wasn't specifically guarding 13, then there's a question about what is it in the robot that makes these monsters want to attack him. I suppose it could be random, but it's starting not to look that way.
Either way, Hall and Bradford have a very cool formula developing for the series. It's sort of monster-of-the-month, but there's a deeper plot that's unfolding and tying the fights together. I hope 13's able to figure out what it is, mostly because I like him and want to see him get the answers he's looking for.
Four out of five ancient, Imperial robot prototypes.

CMUnited-98 agents are capable of perception, cognition, and action. By perceiving the world, they build a model of its current state. Then, based on a set of behaviors, they choose an action appropriate for the current world state.
A driving factor in the design of the agent architecture is the fact that the simulator operates in fixed cycles of length 100 msec. As presented in Section [1], the simulator accepts commands from clients throughout a cycle and then updates the world state all at once at the end of the cycle. Only one action command (dash, kick, turn, or catch) is executed for a given client during a given cycle.
Therefore, agents (simulator clients) should send exactly one action command to the simulator in every simulator cycle. If more than one command is sent in the same cycle, a random one is executed, possibly leading to undesired behavior. If no command is sent during a simulator cycle, an action opportunity has been lost: opponent agents who have acted during that cycle may gain an advantage.
In addition, since the simulator updates the world at the end of every cycle, it is advantageous to try to determine the state of the world at the end of the previous cycle when choosing an action for the current cycle. As such, the basic agent loop during a given cycle t is as follows:
While the above algorithm defines the overall agent loop, much of the challenge is involved in updating the world model effectively and choosing an appropriate action. The remainder of this section goes into these processes in detail.

ANALYSIS: How Much Cruz Money Did Glenn Beck Get Paid? #UtahCaucus
Pundit Glenn Beck has claimed that Ted Cruz is the fulfillment of a Mormon prophecy and helped him deliver Utah. So it's worth looking at how much money Beck was paid to prophesize a prophecy. And, from the looks of it, it's fairly pricy. Glenn Beck's company Mercury Radio Arts Inc. got at least $10,000 […]Read Story

Another B.C. school superintendent bids adieu
Yet another B.C. school superintendent is leaving his post.
Larry Espe, who has been superintendent for Peace River North district for seven years, announced this week that he will be leaving in June. According to a post on Energeticcity.ca, Espe told colleagues he hasn't decided if he is retiring, resigning or "something else altogether."
According to my count, this brings to 26 the number of superintendents who have announced resignations between 2011 and 2013 — affecting more than one-third of B.C.'s 60 school districts.

Live dealer casinos A to ZAlphabetical list of all mobile casinos offering live dealing games. In a live casino game, a dealer runs the game in real time from a casino gaming table. All the action can be seen via a live streaming video link. Players place bets via their own computer screen. They can even live communicate with the dealer via chat. Not all casinos offer live games. The reason? These games are a lot more expensive to host than the common virtual games! That is also the reason why live games-casinos only offer a handful of the most popular games in this format, such as Roulette, Blackjack, Sic Bo and Baccarat. Online casinos vary in their approach to the hosting of live games: some providing live games via their own television channel, and others offering the games exclusively via their website.

With a utility bill more than $25 million last year, Western's Facilities Management staff are seeking new ways to reduce the university's electricity consumption this summer.
Embedded within its utility bill lies Western's government-applied Global Adjustment (GA) tax. Last year's tax was more than $6.5 million (approximately 25 per cent of the entire utility bill). By reducing electricity consumption this summer, Western will not only lower its utility bill, but it can also significantly reduce its GA tax.
The GA is an initiative created by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), a not-for-profit organization established by the Government of Ontario. The IESO is the body within Ontario responsible for making payments to electricity generators and suppliers.
Every five minutes, the IESO forecasts consumption throughout the province and collects best offers from generators to provide the province's required amount of electricity. In order to prevent electricity shortages, a reserve of approximately 1400 megawatts (MW) is always on stand-by. Since the IESO over-estimates Ontario's need for power as an insurance policy, they must make up for the extra money that they are paying electricity generators each day.
This is where the GA comes in.
The GA is the difference between the IESO's total payments made to contracted or regulated electricity suppliers and the total market revenues within Ontario. Consumers are taxed a portion of this GA depending on which class they fall under.
'Class A' customers, such as Western, are those with an average electricity peak demand over 5 MW. The tax for these customers is based on the percentage that their electricity demand contributes to overall system demand during the peak hour of each of the five peak days of the year. For example, if a business's demand is assessed to be responsible for 1 per cent of peak demand during the five peak hours of the year, they will be charged 1 per cent of Ontario's total GA costs for the year.
The challenge is that it cannot be predicted when the peak hours are going to be. For this reason, Western needs to have good consumption practices during those hours when the peak demands in Ontario could potentially be measured.
"Traditionally, these peak hours occur in July or August, sometime between 3-5 p.m.," said Paul Martin, Western's director of business operations. "This is when electricity usage, particularly from air conditioners, is at its highest."
However, with elevated outdoor temperatures and rising humidity this week, Ontario may be in the midst of an annual peak and Facilities Management will be working to minimize Western's electrical load as early as June 21.
According to the IESO, outdoor temperatures tend to have the most impact on electricity usage. Each degree over 16 degrees Celsius creates an additional demand of around 280 MW, which is like adding a city the size of Burlington to the grid.
Facilities Management's solution for mitigating the impact of the GA is to reduce the air conditioning in as many buildings as possible from 2-6 p.m. beginning today until the end of August this summer. The department acknowledges that certain areas of research and study require climate standards and every step will be taken with those groups to maintain that service level.
"Staff, faculty and students probably won't notice any significant temperature changes, but it's still something we need to communicate," Martin noted.
The changes that will be made this summer won't be difficult to implement or strongly felt, but their positive impacts will be significant. Along with saving large amounts of money, the changes will also help the campus reduce its environmental footprint. Western is committed to embedding sustainability into every facet of daily life and has pledged to minimize its impact on the environment.
The key is to gain support from Western's staff, faculty and students. It is anticipated that reducing the air conditioning during peak hours will save Western at least 2.5 MW of electricity and $500,000 each year, but there are also other ways that everyone can help out.
"Something as simple as lowering your blinds when the sun is beaming in can help reduce the amount of work air conditioners need to do," said Beverley Ayeni, Western's energy and environment manager. "If everyone made sure to turn off the lights when they left their offices, it would make a significant difference in Western's electricity consumption."
Everyone can do their part to pitch in.
Keeping windows closed when air conditioners are running, dressing in light layers, unplugging appliances when not in use and setting laptops and computers to energy saver modes can greatly help reduce Western's electricity demand.
"Trying to reduce our utility costs is the right thing to do, and makes good sense in our tight budget climate. The money saved from reducing electrical consumption this summer could be used to reinvest in other areas within the university," Martin said. "The fact is that every Class A operation out there is going to start cutting back.
"If we're the only one who doesn't, we're going to be hit even harder."
Stefanie De Adder, BSc, MES student, is environmental project coordinator, Facilities Management.
For more information about the scheduled air conditioning changes occurring this summer, contact Paul Martin, Western's director of business operations, at firstname.lastname@example.com or ext. 85421.

PICKING UP PIECES: Elizabeth Olsen plays a cult survivor and Sarah Paulson, the sister who tries to repair her broken life in 'Martha Marcy May Marlene.'
Family Ties
'Martha Marcy' a grim look at cult's damaging effect
By Richard von Busack
The ominous Martha Marcy May Marlene has a tongue-twister title, but it's a title worth learning. Elizabeth Olsen, younger sister of the Olsen twins, plays a girl unstuck in time, completely hollowed out by a cult leader named Patrick (John Hawkes).
After she escapes from the compound in upstate New York, Martha is traumatized by memories of what was done to her, and what she did to others. Martha's estranged sister Lucy (Sarah Paulson) puts the penniless girl up in her lakeside vacation house. The vacation turns dismal: severely traumatized and yet unable to put her ordeal in words, Martha thwarts her sister's attempts to connect.
What happened to Martha is cloudy and half-remembered, though not all Gothic; much of it she spent as an underfed female drone subject to murderous threats.
And probably not coincidentally, director Sean Durkin gives the cult leader a Manson air. Patrick looks startlingly like Charlie as the older jailbird, and he considers himself a folk musician, too, just as Manson did. Durkin seems to understand that what makes this character interesting isn't his followers' crimes, but the hold the leader has over his followers. The film's turning point has Patrick making his family listen to a song he's written about Martha, whom he's renamed Marcy May. "You're just a picture on the wall," he sings.
In one of the year's key performances, Olsen gives us a memorable portrait of a girl split in pieces. What I liked best here was the note of arrogance that comes in cult living: who else can experience love and life as well as those within the width of the circle? The film shows us where the attraction lies: the cracks in normal society, the fissures large enough for a spider to crawl in . . .
'Martha Marcy May Marlene' opens Friday, Nov. 4, at Summerfield Cinemas. 551 Summerfield Road, Santa Rosa. www.summerfieldcinemas.com.

When I originally started testing out natural deodorants. I started out by using products that were most similar to the standard anti-perspirant. First, I want a product that has a similar application process to what I'm used to. My second goal is to move away from using products that contain aluminum. I have tried a number of deodorants since my initial switch: Primal Pit Paste, Nourish Organic, Tao Crystals and Piper Wai. More about my experience with each after the jump.

Tutti Frutti Baby Blanket by Nicole Cormier on American Crochet
This blanket is a combination of Tunisian crochet, entrelac, and lace and a great way to practice those skills. I love it because of the fun name and the bright bold colors. I think any baby would be lucky to be wrapped in this lovely, bright blanket. This would make the perfect baby gift worked in Lion Brand Ice Cream yarn.

A how-to for the end of days
As the end approaches, you may find yourself experiencing some anxiety regarding the perils that wait for you during the Apocalypse. To help put your mind at ease during this hectic time of doom, the staff at the Dayton City Paper has compiled the following Apocalypse Survival Guide as a quick reference for those who are finding themselves somewhat less than prepared.
The end of the world will play host to a bevy of threats, running the gamut from physical to psychological to spiritual. We at the DCP are here to help you identify problem areas, then divide and conquer.
The most immediate threat will likely be to your physical well-being. Earthquakes, floods, raining sulfur and total darkness will just be the beginning. You must also consider the more long-term problems of plague, famine, lack of potable water and the ravenous needs of the undead. This is not to mention attacks from the animal kingdom including vengeful lambs, snake-like dragons, killer locusts and noisy horsemen. Know what you're dealing with, and respond accordingly.
1. Earthquakes, tornadoes and fire from the sky: Best to stay inside. Get under something sturdy and, if possible, old. If it's really old, it may have already been through something like this and has stood the test of time. This gives you an advantage.
2. Floods, tsunamis and boiling rivers of blood: Again, best to stay inside. Aim for high ground, get the water wings on the kids and keep an eye out for crocodiles.
3. Zombies, plague and weirdly vengeful/formerly docile creatures: Again, and we simply cannot stress this enough: STAY THE F*CK INSIDE. Don't go running around like you just got a snow day. Get the dogs inside, batten down the hatches and do NOT answer the door if the thing on the other side can't readily sing the theme song from "Friends."
You just can't gather more than one done-for human being in one place and not expect the onset of panic and hysteria and dissent into madness and subsequent looting and pillaging and murder and suicide. You just can't. Stay away from where people have massed. Trust no one. Go raging-mama-bear on anyone who comes near your loved ones with a certain glint in their eye.
So perhaps the worst has happened: you didn't make it. You're off to meet your maker, but don't go unprepared! Have all of your bases covered by carrying with you a copy of the Bible, the Torah, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, the Book of the Dead, the Vedas, the Tao Te Ching, the Tao of Pooh, the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Holy Piby, Dianetics and the Charge of the Goddess. You may also consider toting along a little change for the ferryman and, time permitting, a few letters of recommendation to submit to the courts at that final judgment.
You may consider stocking up on the following supplies to prepare more heartily for the Apocalypse. Not all are absolutely necessary, obviously, and the lighter you can travel, the better. But if you have the space and plan to be hunkered down for the remainder of all time, consider these items:
1. Weapons: Anything you can get your hands on, really. Guns, mace (spray), mace (club), swords, baseball bats, knives, really sharp pencils, etc. You may be defending not only your life, but the lives and honor of your loved ones. Don't get caught empty handed!
2. Water: The DCP consulted survival specialist Quentin Hiserman, age 10-and-a-half, on how best to anticipate the need for water in an apocalyptic situation. "I would go to all of the stores and buy all of their 24-packs of bottled water," recommends Hiserman. "You can actually live off water. If you don't have any food for a week but you have water, you'll live."
3. Food: Hiserman suggests stocking up on everything you can get your hands on including junk food, even though you're not supposed to eat very much of that. For a longer-term solution to food shortage, Hiserman advises beginning a garden: "Always plant mutant plants, like mutant pea pods. You can eat them, and they will also attack and kill the zombies, like in my video game," said Hiserman.
4. Clothing: Always, ALWAYS layer during an apocalypse. It's going to be a hot, cold, rainy, dry, windy, muggy, sleeting MESS and no one wants to hear you whine because you couldn't be bothered to carry along your windbreaker. Hear that, Marie? Remember Mount Vernon, 1990? Yeah, I'm pretty much talking directly to you right now, Marie.
5. Gas mask: Raining sulfur is not only incendiary, but also really, really smelly. Prepare yourself and your loved ones by investing in gas masks. Feel free to dress them up a bit so they're not quite so paranoia-of-mid-century-America. Be whimsical. Perhaps add a hat. Or a flower.
6. Flint: Let us know if you find any. We have no idea where to look for flint or even what it is exactly, but for some reason we know that it can be used to start a fire in the absence of matches.
All right! You're all set. Off to Armageddon with you! Hope to see you on the other side! But we probably won't because, honestly, we're not very good at ANY of this stuff.

Outlook Client Repeated Login Prompts Post V9 Upgrade
After your Dynamics 365 organisation has finally been updated to the
July 2017 October 2017 December 2017 February 2018 V9 version, you may find that your Outlook client (full version, not the lightweight app) no longer works.
Uninstalling and re-installing the version offered via the 'Get Apps' page within Dynamics 365 doesn't help as you are repeatedly prompted for your login when trying to configure the organisation.
Viewing the trace log gave the error:
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://crm_url/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc?wsdl&sdkversion=8.2
This is because the Outlook client is still using the old SDK (8.2) which is still using SSL rather than the TLS1.2 protocol for authentication required by V9.
The solution is to install update KB4054414 after installing the Outlook client.
Silverlight no longer works in Chrome 42
In Google's continuing effort to annoy me, starting with Chrome version 42, the Silverlight plugin no longer works. This is due to Google no longer supporting NPAPI plugins (see here).
To get around it until September 2015, you can use the below fix to re-enable NPAPI.
1. Type the below into the Chrome address bar and press enter: –
2. Click on 'Enable' under 'Enable NPAPI'
3. Click on 'Relaunch Now' when it appears towards the bottom of the screen
You've now got until September to re-write your Silverlight controls in a compatible technology. Good luck!
CRM Outlook Client Spell Check
Recently, a customer has found that spell checking is not available when typing into forms on the CRM Outlook client. Spell checking is built into Internet Explorer and works fine on the web client, so I wanted to find a way to get it working in Outlook.
Using this MSDN article, I found that adding a registry key may help. After some trial and error, the following key and value had the desired effect. Read the rest of this entry »
Chrome 37 breaks CRM 2011 and 2013 functionality
Google has removed a number of APIs from Chrome 37 which is causing a lot of issues with CRM 2011 and CRM 2013. So far I've noticed: –
- You can no longer add options to Option Set fields via customisation
- Changes made to an email in a workflow are not saved when the save button is clicked
- The 'Upload' button on the SharePoint list component no longer works
- Anything using the 'window.showModalDialog' function no longer works as the API has been deprecated
- Can no longer save field properties such as 'Visible by default'
- Export to Excel no longer works
In order to fix the problem until Microsoft issue a real fix, you can re-enable the deprecated features by following the below: – Read the rest of this entry »
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Installation
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 was made available for download earlier today. You can grab it from here if you'd like to try it out. Also, you can get the official implementation guides from here.
Since my CRM 2011 setup video proved quite popular, I thought I'd take the opportunity to record an updated version for 2013 while I setup my own development environment.
The video is embedded below, but I recommend watching it on YouTube in HD quality, otherwise some of the text can be quite hard to read.
I hope that you find it useful!
Reducing Bandwidth Requirements Via Compression
I've been looking at ways to try to increase the performance of our CRM infrastructure recently. I followed this Technet Optimisation guide some time ago, but thought it was worth a revisit. The tips here were great when I first configured our CRM environment, but that was almost 2 years ago now!
One thing which jumped out at me was the 'Using Compression Techniques' section. I remember following this in the past, but the section on 'Dynamic Compression' jumped out at me, as I don't recall following before. It specifically talks about compressing responses sent to SDK clients such as the Outlook client. Standard HTTP compression does not do this, so since a lot of my our users use the Outlook client, I gave it a go.
Both the command line and GUI steps can be found in the Technet article, but here are the IIS 7.5 steps which I followed to enable it: –
- In Internet Information Services Manager, click the <Server name>, scroll down in the Features View to the Management section, and then start the Configuration Editor.

The whole thing was like a dream, Maurice Lassiter was explaining.
Sure, he was very much awake on a school bus heading south on Interstate 95 at 8:45 Thursday morning. But for a few moments as the bus was swerving and then flipping over before winding up on its roof, he said the whole thing just didn`t seem real.
``I was in shock . . . it was like a dream. When I was rolling around in the bus, it was like I was dreaming, rolling around in my sleep,`` Lassiter said.
``It was kind of like I was dreaming. You didn`t have time to be scared. All I remember was people falling and rolling around like a crazy roller coaster ride . . . rolling and rolling and rolling.
``It`s like going on a roller coaster ride. On the first dive, you don`t really have a chance to scream. The blood rushes to your head, and it`s over.``
Lassiter, a 19-year-old New Jersey native, is one of the students from Bauder College in Oakland Park who was on the bus that overturned on I-95 during the morning rush hour, while heading for a fashion field trip at a Miami hotel.
Like most of the others, he wasn`t hurt badly. Like the others, he was lucky.
``(A few of the people on the bus) were just sitting and having a conversation about maybe taking another bus trip and going to Key West,`` said Lassiter, as we talked while waiting in the emergency room of Broward General Medical Center.
``I saw the car turn in front (of the bus). Then the bus (started to swerve).
``I really thought it was a minor thing. I thought that`d we`d all be able to say we almost got involved in an accident.``
