Recently I've had the pleasure of training a number of PR agencies on how they can work Search Engine Optimisation into their service offerings.
It's no secret that lots of SEO agencies and teams are trying to do the reverse at the same time.
While this merging of disciplines is no big surprise, something that I hadn't anticipated is just how useful SEO tools can be for people carrying out online PR.
Search Marketers are generally obsessed about efficiency and using tools and software to make their lives easier, and many of the tools available can also help anyone working in online PR.
Google Insights
The ability to instantly get a seasonal idea of when people are interested in topics is hugely valuable, especially when that data challenges conventional wisdom.
One of the best examples of this is related to the demand for Contact Lenses (originally highlighted to me by James Murray).
Whenever I ask when the peak in demand for Contact Lenses might be, people most often suggest summer-time. Their reasons tend to be related to people trying to avoid hay-fever or prescription sunglasses, and also a connection to New Years' makeovers.
Interestingly, the peak is actually around Halloween, due to the use of coloured lenses. This on its own is a great insight to hang a story off, but immediately gives PRs the opportunity to pitch stories to journos and bloggers that might pass their competitors by.
The suggestions that Google make when you type in a search query give you a great, and sometimes scary, insight into the pysche of people searching online.
Being able to quickly get together lots of ideas for content using a tool like Ubersuggest, which captures those Google Suggestions, is a great place for a PR team to start brainstorming press release ideas.
If This, Then That
There's a good chance PR teams are already aware of story opportunities, such as pouncing when journo's use the hashtag #journorequest on Twitter, but managing these pitch opportunities across multiple campaigns can be tricky. If This, Then That, or IFTTT can help.
IFTTT offers a visual data mash-up service. On a simple level it offers functionality like 'if I publish a blog post, tweet it', or 'if I publish or upload a video to facebook, save it to dropbox' but you can very easily set up more complex 'recipes' that sift through PR opportunities like #journorequest.
Linkedin Advanced Search
Media databases are great but you might be surprised at just how powerful the advanced search functionality on LinkedIn is, especially if you have a broad network. If you know the publishing company and job title of whom you are looking to find it's really likely you'll be able to find their name.
The premium version of LinkedIn is great value to get in touch with prospects.
Email Guesser
If you know the first and last name plus the domain of the person you're hoping to outreach to, this can help you 'guess' their valid address. It uses Gravatar and can be a great way of finding people who either have a contact form on their site or you've found through LinkedIn.
FollowerWonk is a really powerful search engine based upon the biography information people provide through Twitter. At a base level it'll allow you to search biographies on searches like "keyword journalist".
The real value is in the advanced search functionality. E.g. you can see all of the people who use a company's url in their bio, hopefully finding their employees
The chances are a full blown project management, or CRM system might be overkill for your PR efforts but FollowUp.CC allows you to quickly set up reminders to follow up on outreach attempts.
You simply bcc-in a special email address and it will email you back that email at the preset interval.
i.e. email@example.com; email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com; email@example.com
Some great tools that are pretty well known to search marketers but I reckon they could make PR's lives easier!

Nice list ;)
Only one I've not used before is FollowUp.cc. I particularly rate FollowerWonk and Google Trends. I'm also a big fan of MajesticSEO - not least being able to use Citation Flow and Trust Flow metrics to compare media websites and individual journalists to see what SEO value the content they publish and create actually has ;)
A question for you Andrew, how many PRs would you say are au fait with CRM, seems like a no-brainer to me but certainly not the impression I've got...
I'd say you'd be right. Even assuming that much of what PRs do is still ostensibly around dealing with journalists, aren't they a special kind of "customer" - in which case, why wouldn't you invest in technology to assist in managing those customer relationships?
In terms of relevant CRM software, I currently favour Nimble:
What's not to like? A complete view of every interaction you have with a journalist via email, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+ as well tight integration with Hootsuite - for £10 per user per month.
But yes - social CRM is deffo something PR professionals should be looking at more closely....
Great post Kelvin!
To add to the toolbox, I'd like to state we currently use a combination of Buzzstream (www.buzzstream.com/) and Pipedrive (www.pipedrive.com) to manage outreach and follow up to influencers and journalists here at Econsultancy.
Both are lightweight/inexpensive SaaS that have great integration Gmail.
Andrew, I'm going to check out Nimble on your recommendation!

Hello readers
Today we continue with the series of articles on basic electronics with this introductory article about the bipolar transistor, and using it as a switch.
What is a transistor? It is a semiconductor with three leads, with which a small voltage or current applied to one lead can control a much larger current flowing through the other two leads. A transistor can be used as either a switch or an amplifier. Furthermore, there are two main types of transistor – the bipolar and the field-effect transistor. This article will examine and refer to bipolar transistors as transistors. Let's go!
A transistor consists of three layers of silicon, P- and N-type in fact. Do you recall the diode article? A transistor is basically two diodes connected together in a Y-formation, in one of two ways as shown below:
Also notice the circuit symbols for NPN and PNP-type transistors. Transistors can be found in many shapes and sizes, the size usually being directly proportional to the amount of current the particular transistor is designed to handle. Thankfully the physical shape or package design has been standardised, and each casing type has a designation. Let's look at some of the more common ones now:
TO-92 casing. When the flat-side is facing you, the pin numbering is 1-2-3. This casing style is for transistors that usually handle up to 100 mA. Unfortunately there are three varieties with regards to which pin is the base, collector and emitter – so always check your data sheet if in doubt.
TO-220 casing. When the metal tab is at the rear (above), the pin numbering is 1-2-3. The metal tab acts as a heatsink, and the hole enables one to bolt it to a larger heatsink, metal chassis, etc. This casing style is for transistors that usually handle up to around 8 amps.
TO-3 casing. These are all metal in order to dissipate heat – as they can handle up to around 75 amps of current. The entire metal case and ends are pin 2; pins 1 and 3 are the usual leads. Check your data sheet for pins 1 and 3! There are many other types of casing, but the three above are usually the most common.
How do transistors work?
For current to flow from the base of a transistor to the emitter, it needs to be forward-biased by at least 0.6 volts. In other words, there must be a potential difference between the base and emitter by 0.6V. If the base is connected to ground, the transistor will not let current pass from the collector to the emitter:
The transistors in the circuits above are NPN transistors. The current that flows from the base to the emitter is known as base current or Ib. The current that flows from the collector to the emitter is known as the collector current, or Ic. An interesting property of the transistor is this: the ratio of Ic to Ib is constant, and Ic is always larger than Ib. The ratio of Ic/Ib is known as the gain of the transistor. When reading a data sheet, gain is usually defined as hFE. This formula also proves that if there is no base current, there will be no collector current – you can't divide by zero.
Using the transistor as a switch
To use a transistor as a switch, we need to know several things to be successful. For example:
To use the transistor to turn on the "load" we need to:
- know the current drawn by the load. This is also the transistor's Ic (collector current). Or the load's resistance, as Ohm's law can be used to calculate the current
- know the transistor gain (hFE)
- calculate Ib (base current)
- use the above data to find a value for that lonely resistor
Let's do that now with a contemporary problem… we have an Arduino that needs to turn a relay on and off at certain times. However you can only source up to 20 mA from a digital output on the Arduino, so we want to use it instead to switch a transistor which can control the relay coil. The problem is, what value resistor to use to control the base current?
First of all, let's note what we do know. The relay (data sheet) coil requires 60 mA of current to activate, it is a 5 volt relay, and the coil has a resistance of 83 ohms. The transistor (data sheet) is a BC548 NPN transistor, very cheap and easy to find. It can handle a collector/load current of 100 mA, and the hFE (gain) is 110. That diode is there to loop back pulse current when the relay is switched off. The supply voltage is 5 volts, and the digital output from the arduino is also 5 volts when active. There is also one more thing to take note of – the base-emitter junction is a diode, and therefore has a voltage drop of 0.7 volts. When you are switching large voltages, this is not an issue – however as we are working with a small voltage, the drop needs to be taken into account.
So, let's calculate Ib, the base current. If hFE = Ic/Ib then 110 = 0.06 A/Ib; which translates to Ib = 0.06/110 = 0.0005 A. Which is basically nothing, so we'll round it up to 1 milliamp.
Next, the resistor value. Using Ohm's law (voltage = current x resistance):
Voltage = (5-0.7) = 4.3 volts (we need to take into account the voltage drop over the base-emitter junction of the transistor)
Current = 0.005 A (Will use a slightly higher current just to be on the safe side)
So, resistance = 4.3/0.005 = 860 ohms. For such a tiny current and small voltage, a 1/4-watt resistor is fine. (power = volts x current; = 4.3 * 0.005 = 0.0215 < 0.25)
If we didn't have an 860 ohm resistor, a little higher is OK. I have used a 1k ohm resistor and it has worked nicely.
And there you have it – a transistor used as a switch. As stated at the beginning, this is only an introduction. There are literally hundreds of thousands of pages of material written about the use of transistors, so don't stop here – experiment and do your own research and learning! In the next few weeks we will look at using transistors as amplifiers.

I wandered down in Demonsworld - the landscape of lost play
I wandered on the edge of time - where night was also day
The time was short - this time was mine
I was born for no reason
The lifetime of the one-eyed soul was only one dark season
Just draw them on stone
Engrave them on bone
Fly to the dead moon
and meet me there soon ;
Und du weisst, tief in mir, die einzigen Dinge, die es je geben wird
Mein Fleisch starb ab auf einem steinkalten Bett - am Rand der Zeit wo ich
I slept on pain in Demonsworld, the night was deadly cold
And in the rain I drowned , surrounded by a thousand crystal souls
Just draw them on stone
Engrave them on bone
Fly to the dead moon
and meet me there soon ;
You came to me and gazed through them and through my open wounds
And then you saw the blasphemies dwelling in the heart of doom
I died deep down in Demonsworld - the landscape of lost play
My flesh deceased on stone cold bed - on the edge of time I lay
I slept on pain...

Here's the best way I've ever found to do venison ribs, a cut of meat that is often underutilized or simply ground into sausage meat. It's based on a recipe stolen from Steven Raichlen's very excellent The Barbecue Bible, though my brother Matt added a couple of key steps to make it the perfect preparation for summertime wild game grilling.
Step 1: Using a hacksaw or bone saw cut a rack of venison ribs perpendicular to the bones, so that you get three strips of connected rib bones that are about five or six inches long. Then cut these trips into pieces containing three or four ribs apiece. Plan on two or three pieces per person – say about five or six pounds of ribs for six folks. You want them to look like this:
Step 2: Place the ribs into a pressure cooker and add just enough water to cover them. Cook at full pressure for thirty minutes. By then, the ribs should be tender enough for the meat to fall off the bone.
Step 3: Remove the ribs from the pressure cooker, let them cool, and then give them a generous rub-down with your favorite dry rub (blends meant for pork ribs are ideal). Or if you're feeling ambitious, make up a batch based on Raichlen's recommended blend by combining the following ingredients.
1/4 cup paprika
1 ½ Tablespoons ground black pepper
1 ½ Tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons celery salt
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons dry mustard
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
Step 4: Combine the following to make a mop sauce for glazing:
1 cup cider vinegar
½ cup yellow mustard
Step 5: Fire up your outdoor grill and lay out the ribs in a single layer on the rack. Since they're already cooked, you're just looking to give them a light char and get them crisp. Flip often, and mop on a generous coat of the glaze each time they flip. Continue cooking until the bones start to blacken and the meat has acquired the color of ribby goodness – say about ten or fifteen minutes. Serve with dill pickles and you'll be in heaven.

Hello, how's it going today? it's lovely weather over here and I imagine that you also have the same condition in your home. It's me, Eve Elizabeth and today I want to show 1 gorgeous bathroom concept which is correlated to Remodel Bathroom Designs. Our staff here also provides a number of helpful Bathroom Design tips, in which some of this tips can be really simple, which you could execute quite simply for your particular bathroom renovating plan.
When you have a limited space bathroom, you should start thinking about methods that will preserve some space and make use the additional space to improve your bathroom. To illustrate, you can actually use a vicinal cupboard or even reformat your previous kitchen cupboard into a brand new storage facility in the bathroom. But be certain that you never strip off any kind of basique support that the area carries, as it's absolutely a none detachable element that we can easily take away.
One more necessary task but yet commonly ignored is to replace your bathroom drape once per month. Showering produces excessive humidity in a bathroom which in turn triggers showering drapes to develop mildew and mold. To help keep your shower room clean and healthier, replace your current bathroom draperies frequently. Do not purchase pricey plastic-type bathroom drapes with rare to find models and have the temptation for being cherished, and you wouldn't feel unpleasant once changing it.

UPPER DARBY -- In a building constructed to be an orphanage in 1920, the Archbishop Prendergast and Monsignor Bonner high school students, faculty, staff and parents were feeling a bit like orphans Friday.
That's because it was announced that the Blue Ribbon Commission appointed by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is recommending that the schools be closed in June. The announcement to accept the decision was made by Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput Friday afternoon.
"My heart is just broken," said Prendergast senior Reanne Maskart, whose mother and grandmother are Prendie graduates. "This school has been in my family forever. Every part of me is in this school. My sisters (one a sophomore and one a freshman) are here and I wanted them to have the same experience. It's like a relative has died."
Prendie and Bonner President the Rev. James Olson had the unpleasant experience of delivering the news, first to the faculty at about noon, then after giving the faculty about 15 minutes to collect themselves, he made the announcement to the Bonner and Prendie students in an assembly.
"There is no good way to do something like that," Olson said of making the announcement. "We really do have exceptional kids here that you can almost treat like adults. So I just told them flat out. Before the announcement, they were cheering and hoping we would be bringing good news to them. Of course, the mood changed dramatically after the announcement."
The announcement had been awaited for some time. The Blue Ribbon Commission was appointed in October 2010 and the decision date was announced by Chaput in mid-December. As rumors circulated, including one from a local TV station Thursday night, it added to the buildup and anxiety Friday.
"When you hear the first rumor, you start to believe it, then when you hear a second rumor, you don't know what to think, then when you hear more rumors, you just never believe it," said Bonner senior Patrick Walsh. "Every student came in today not knowing what to expect. When we went to the assembly, we sang the school fight song in the halls. But you could kind of tell by the look on the faculty's faces it was probably not going to be good news."
Many of the students were emotional as they exited the assembly. One of them was junior Paul O'Neill, who has to find a place to finish high school.
"I have no idea," he said when asked about plans for next school year. "No matter where I'm at, my heart will always be here. We won't be in the same building, but we will always be a family."
Part of that family over the years has been the faculty and staff. One those faculty members is Mike Wetzel, who has taught for 42 years at the school. He felt an odd sense of relief at the news, even though it was certainly not what he was hoping for.
"At least we know now," he said. "But there was no logical reason for us to be closed. That's what worried us, though, because when something makes sense, they won't do it. When we know that something probably should be done, it means it probably won't be done.
"We thought they should put us in one building and then have a regionalized elementary school. Logistically, that makes sense."
The Bonner and Prendie enrollment has combined to be about 1,000 in recent years, with that number at 965 this year compared to about 1,400 10 years ago. It also seemed to make sense as a migration point for students at West Catholic High School in West Philadelphia, which is also closing.
One teacher said Bonner and Prendie's financial debt is much less than that of other schools not closing, which just leaves more questions.
"Why us?" said Wetzel. "That's what I would like to know."
There are rumors that the adjacent Delaware County Memorial Hospital or Upper Darby High School, just down the block, could be interested in the land or buildings. But nothing could be substantiated Friday.
The parents certainly understand the teachers' substantial contributions. They know Catholic school teachers aren't in it for the money.
"The important thing is the kids, teachers and staff," said Kathryn Rickard of Lansdowne, whose daughter is a sophomore at Prendie. "It's not just a job for them and we have a lot of good faculty here."
It wasn't the first time Rickard has experienced a school closing. Her daughter also went to St. Charles, which closed in 2007.
"It doesn't get any easier," she said, adding she did not pay attention to rumors. "I had been through that before and learned not to listen to them."
Rickard was hoping there would be across-the-board changes so that all the schools would have to adjust, rather than leaving the perception that some schools are considered better than others.
"I wish they would make regional schools, that way we would have everybody supporting each other," she said. "I wish they would just start everyone from scratch."
Some recent alumni did show up to offer support to the current students and staff.
A group 2010 of Prendie graduates included Marycate Givnish, Monica DeBarberie and Anne Light.
"When you go to school here, you wake up and you want to go to school each day," Givnish said.
"There's no other school where you are just with what feels like other sisters all day," DeBarberie said.
In what is now the school's final year, Olson did ask his students to take away good memories from these final days at Bonner and Prendie.
"We want every day to be a celebration," Walsh said. "It could be a Tuesday in April or with one of our traditions, but we want every day to be a celebration."
Walsh said it will be hard to celebrate being in Bonner's final graduating class, but he will approach the rest of the year with pride.
"I never wanted to be in the last graduating class," he said. "But it is something I will take pride in and something I will always cherish."

A lot has happened since our last update on Tito Jr.
We are grateful to Make-A-Wish for granting our son Tito a wish. In February we enjoyed a Western Caribbean Cruise aboard the Liberty of the Seas ship with Shrek, Princess Fiona, Alex the Lion, and many more DreamWorks characters.
Tito Jr. has had a stable stretch with neurofibromatosis type 1. Though he lives with the effects of this incurable tumor condition, he lives fearless. Now four years old, Tito makes sad kids laugh by dancing silly or making funny faces. He sits with buddies who are in time out. Though it's tough to hear him sing from his bed at 5:30 a.m., I can only smile.
And I've learned to laugh by accepting life as is. With a load of laundry on one hip and the phone up to my ear talking to specialists, requesting medical records, planning another medical trip, this is my life. And I accept it, this joyful life with my precious son.

Dr. Zheng Wang is a Global Fellow at the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. He is an Associate Professor in the School of Diplomacy and International Relations, Seton Hall University in New Jersey, and serves as the Director of its Center for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPCS) program. He has been a Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow at United States Institute of Peace (USIP) and is a member of the National Committee on United States-China Relations (NCUSCR). In the 1990s, Zheng Wang served eight years as a research fellow and then as the Deputy Director of Research at one of China's think tanks on international peace and security issues.
Dr. Wang's research interests lie in two closely connected areas: (1) peace and conflict management in East Asia, with special focus on U.S.-China relations and China's external conflicts; (2) nationalism and identity politics in China and East Asia.

Huawni tradition dates back to the Huawni Indians, a small Cherokee Tribe that lived on land in and around Huawni's campus. Counselors from the 70's keep their Huawni tradition alive as they dress for Initiation.
In 1965, Earl Adams, or "Daddy Earl" as you'll soon know him, strolled down a school hallway and said to himself, "Hmmm…I wish my students could experience something where they weren't so tied down – a place where they truly could be themselves." So, he cut some logs, built a few cabins, dug a huge hole for a swimming pool…and his kids camp, Camp Huawni, was born.
Here's a cool fact: the name "Huawni" comes from a small Cherokee Indian tribe that at one time called the camp land their home. In fact, you can even trek through the Pineywoods past the Pinson Creek and see two original Huawni Indian ceremonial mounds.
Over the years, kids just like you have caught the "Huawni magic," a fancy term for having the summer of your life – so special that it's nearly impossible to explain.
The Huawni kids camp experience provides you with a unique bond – an experience shared by numerous others who have spent summers at Huawni, including National Football League coaches, songwriters, college athletes, business people, and even actors (like Matthew McConaughey).
As a special way to commemorate your time at Huawni, you will be given custom jewelry, personally designed by James Avery, after years 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8. Only those in the Huawni Tribe are allowed to wear it. No one else…
James Avery has been exclusively making custom Camp Huawni jewelry since the 1970's.
As you move up in the tribe your jewelry shows off your dedication.
Love Camp Huawni already? The quickest way to Huawni is by requesting info here.

Spirit is a word that means courage and character. Heart is a word that means spirit and empathy; kindness if you wish. I've wondered all my life, but more so in such tumultuous times, as to the true connection of the Spirit of the Heart. Spirit has many monikers that are attached to the human psyche. Heart is what beats to the rhythm of life. When either stop humankind are affected for all of time.
So I decided to combine these two words and name us SPIRITHEARTS…
Humankind, whether aware of it or not, are storytellers. In fact, our life story is not about our life, it is our life. Storytelling is a forever occurrence in the lifespan of humankind and even more so when those in our story depart this life. We oftentimes celebrate their story in the form of a eulogy or other traditions around the world.
By way of storytelling, a eulogy is a time that recalls the essence of a loved one. Each eulogy paints—sometimes in muted colors and other times bold— reflective memories held in a moment in a place in a time. Laughter and tears and smells and tastes that drift in the memory of those gathered to mourn. Eulogies allow us to speak on behalf of a voice silenced by mortality; soundless goodbyes for the SPIRITHEART of remembrance.

A spate of worker suicides at an enormous Foxconn complex in the southern boomtown of Shenzhen has drawn attention to the stress many young workers face working in some factories. It also has coincided with a spate of strikes and wage protests at other factories, especially those of Japanese automakers. Calls to Foxconn's spokesman in China rang unanswered. A company official in Taiwan's capital Taipei, who refused to give his name, said he could not comment because any expansion plan would require approval by the company's board of directors.

Please visit the area of your needs on this website to get great benefits.
Solar Energy is an important element in the reduction of contamination in our planet by generating clean electrical energy using the sun as the primary source. For savings in solar energy please see the ads shown on the solar energy pages in this website or go to http://www.supersolarandmore.com/SOLAR_ENERGY_SALES.html .

NATURAL GAS: One of the most important things for the economy of this country is to have a policy to be energy independent by making use of all its abundant energy resources. NATURAL GAS is very abundant in the United States and can be used in many ways to reduce our dependence in foreign oil, and to help reduce the emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. The combustion of natural gas emits about 30% less carbon dioxide than oil, and under 45% less carbon dioxide than coal. The latest estimates indicate that there are over 2,500 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas in the United States. The United States generates approximately 24% of its electricity from natural gas. For more information on the benefits of natural gas please visit the Natural Gas Energy webpage by going to http://www.supersolarandmore.com/NATURAL_GAS_ENERGY.html
The PETROLEUM or CRUDE OIL reserves in the United States as of the end of 2009 are approximately 39.0 billion barrels. In 2010 2/3 of the total petroleum consumption was for transportation, mainly gasoline. Other uses are Industrial 23%, Residential and Commercial 5%, and 1% for Electric Power. The United States imports less than half of its oil consumption. For more information on the benefits and usage of petroleum or crude oil in the United States please visit the PETROLEUM OR CRUDE OIL ENERGY webpage by going to http://www.supersolarandmore.com/PETROLEUM_OIL_ENERGY.html
COAL is a non-renewable fossil fuel source of energy. Coal is the largest source of energy for electrical power generation worldwide. With the latest clean coal technology, it is possible to burn coal with very minimal impact on the environment. With the use of advance filtering and ash and particles collection from the exhaust gases after combustion in their path to the stack or chimney the elimination of most pollutants is achievable. The latest technology make use of a bag house and hoppers, absorber, and electrostatic precipitators for cleaning the gases before they exit to the atmosphere. For more information on the benefits and usage of coal in the United States please visit the COAL ENERGY webpage in this website by going to http://www.supersolarandmore.com/COAL_ENERGY.html
WATER is a renewable source of energy. By using water as the source of energy in the hydroelectric power plants, the United States generated approximately 6.5 % of the nation's electricity requirements in 2008. Water energy has many applications including water pumping for human consumption, and land irrigation, but one of the main uses is for generating hydroelectric power, starting in 1882 when the world's first commercial DC hydroelectric power plant provided electricity for a paper mill in Appleton, Wisconsin. The Vulcan Street Plant began operation on September 30, 1882, generating enough electricity to power two paper mills and the house of the president of the Appleton Paper & Pulp Company. For more information on the benefits and usage of Water Energy in the United States please visit the WATER ENERGY webpage in this website by going to http://www.supersolarandmore.com/WATER_ENERGY.html
NUCLEAR ENERGY is one of the best alternatives for electric power generation in the United States because it provides one of the most economical, stable and reliable power source available to us at this time. There are 104 commercial nuclear reactors that generate approximately 20 % of the total electric energy in this country. There are three more nuclear power plants under construction that may start operation in the near future. One of the nuclear reactors is under construction at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant in Tennessee and is scheduled to be completed in 2015. The other two nuclear units are being built by the Southern Company and are scheduled to be completed by 2016 and 2017. According to the US Department of Energy, the cost of electrical nuclear generation is 67 US dollars per megawatt hour (2007). For more information on the benefits and usage of Nuclear Energy in the United States please visit the NUCLEAR ENERGY webpage in this website by going to http://www.supersolarandmore.com/NUCLEAR_ENERGY.html
WIND is an excellent renewable source of energy that is effectively used to generate electric power, pump water, impulse sailboats, and many other uses. Due to the high cost of fossil fuels at the present time, it is imperative that we make use of wind energy whenever possible for our energy needs. Wind power electrical generation is increasing in many countries, and there are big governmental incentives and tax credits for new and current producers and consumers.

Wanted to share with you some of the good times in Seattle...
So let me start out with saying Xenia my stepmom got Sebastian this really cool cardboard house. It was still in the box when we got there and all we had to do was set it up. Sebastian loved it! It was his very own little fort.We even colored it with crayons!! I thought it was the best thing ever, how come they didn't make things like this when I was a kid?? I had to actually work and make my forts out of couch cushions and blankets. Kids these days got it so easy. HAHA.
I really can't explain how much my dad loved having Sebastian around. They are such goofball together!
Of course, thanks to Lisa, I was able to get together with my Great Harvest Gang! It's funny how all these years nothing has changed. What I mean is that I don't get to see these wonderful people only once every year (if that) and it still feels like we are back in the shop bagging bread & kneading a whole lota love! Such a warm and comforable grasp of the past.
The very stunning Mrs. Cunningham. Julee, who is actually one of the first influential & mother figures in my life and my sister next to her.
Mr. Cunningham, Glen is my man! He always has such a great spirit & is the man that taught me so much plus he can give the best hugs :-)
Not to forget my girl Tanya. She is probably one of the biggiest most important things I miss from Seattle. She is my bestfriend, my partner in crime (literally) and the funnest person I know. I never leave without making new memories with her. And many more to come!!
Despite the fact that I had a crazy amount of fun and memories with my family & friends, I think one of my personal highlights of our trip was FORKS! It took a ferry ride and a six hour drive to get there and back but it was worth it. I took both my sisters, Michelle & Krisztina, who did not need asking twice since they too are much beloved Twilight Saga fans. Represent! Anyways, we hit up Forks first and started out at the Chamber of Commerce where we got to see Bella's truck with Bella's actual licence plate!! SOOOO COOL! The two ladies that worked there were such darlings and very enthusiastic to see us, which made things that much more fun. They were nice enough to hand us a map with all the important site seeing labeled with directions and in return kindly asked us to sign their guest book. I wrote HULITZA FAMILY--all the way from Philly! It was crazy seeing people signed in from Florida and Texas. Talk about die hard fans :) Represent! Next for some lunch at the Forks Coffee Shop which was really a little hometown diner. I got Bella's Garden Burger, so yummmmm! Then we all shared a piece of the Berry Cobbler Pie with some vanilla ice cream. Double yummmmm! Once we were done admiring the town we ran into probably the most breathtaking Twilight themed store you can ever find called Dazzled by Twilight. I'm serious! I was like a kid in a candy store. Check out it out--
I ended up buying myself a $20 car window decal. I know I'm a total nerd but you, my friend will poop your pants when you see how wicked awesome it is...pictures will come soon.
Now for the last part of our trip we just had to go and visit La Push. It took forever to get down to the water and after some complaining on my part we got there and boy was it beautiful. It happend to be pretty chilly by the water and the waves were crashing down and played cat & mouse with us up the shore. The entire beach had tons of logs scattered around so my sisters and I had some fun with them.
Well that's all the juicey details! It was a great time and I'm really looking forward to our next trip to Seattle, hoping to make it this summer!!
It's nice to be back home and I'm so ready for what's in store for the new year

The CWA Conference at Lincoln
Lima, Lymm, and then Lincoln in the space of 96 hours - it's all go at the moment! The reason for my trip to Lincoln this past week-end was to attend the annual CWA conference, always for me a highlight of the year. The conference is a social occasion, and a very good one, but there is also the chance to learn a good deal from the speakers, and this year Roger Forsdyke organised a very good line-up indeed. Roger is an ex-cop, and his contact book is impressive. This is the third time I've attended a conference he's arranged, and each has been excellent.
We began on Friday evening with a ghost walk around the city centre. Now Lincoln is a place with a notable history, and this was a fun way to kick off the week-end. After that, dinner, and a chance to catch up with people before the talks began on Friday. The CWA has always had a strong social dimension, and with membership on the up, there is a sense of a thriving and upbeat organisation.
The speakers included two current "cold case review" team members, senior detectives who explained how they set about solving the mystery of body parts found on the shore by the Wash. A fascinating investigation, which as the author of "cold case" books set in the Lakes, I found very thought-provoking. Then there was a chance to listen to a rather witty judge, with special expertise in criminal cases, and also a publisher specialising in ebooks. There was a book-signing at Waterstones, and a visit to a forensic lab at the university in the afternoon - or you could simply wander around the city streets in the sunshine, or take a bus tour.
The judge was the speaker at the gala dinner, and he was excellent. Sunday saw two more high quality talks, one from a detective superintendent who had solved a horrific murder case, and one from a senior figure in the CPS. And at the AGM, Len Tyler was duly elected Chair of the CWA, while the Vice Chair will be...me. All in all, a memorable week-end. Next year's conference will be in Norwich, and if you are a CWA member, it's strongly recommended.

Year Opened: 1931
| Field Surface: Natural Grass
Monticello Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountains cradle the oldest Division I stadium in the state of Virginia. Scott Stadium sits in the midst of the Carl Smith Center and houses David A. Harrison III Field. It was built in 1931 as a replacement for the old Lambeth Field, otherwise known as "Colonnades." Its namesake is former university rector and donor Frederic Scott and was originally built to house 25,000 fans.
The field surface was grass until 1974, when artificial turf was installed. Unfortunately, the change made the long-standing tradition of a mounted Cavalier striding into the stadium impossible. The field remained turf until 1994, when grass was re-installed, allowing the Cavalier to once more ride into the stadium with the football team.
Through many construction projects over the years Scott Stadium now holds a capacity of more than 61,000 spectators. The largest crowded was recorded Aug. 30, 2008, when 64,947 saw Virginia, affectionately nicknamed the Wahoos, get swamped by USC, 52-7.
It is not uncommon for one to see men dressed in coats and ties and women dressed in sundresses while attending the games at Scott Stadium. It has been a tradition for years.
In 2003, however, then coach Al Groh made a plea with the students to put down the traditional garb for orange attire. Dispersed among the crowd you'll find more orange these seasons, but tony outfits are still prevalent.

Juancome back. Sorry for the day long delay. I contracted the devil cold in New Orleans on a bachelor party and it delayed our communal bachelor party. So, we're celebrating on a Wednesday.
Maybe it was the cold meds, but I was really confused when ABC ponzi'd us by putting the first date card in their BS Sunday night broadcast. Look, this show is like a Las Vegas substance binge. It takes at least a week to recover from physically and mentally and really should not be attempted more than once a week.
It also guaranteed that we'd go to commercial and come back from it to the same material as Chris Harrison's sweatshop knows how to stretch three hours out of twenty-six minutes of content. Don't buy cocaine from him. Just kidding. He doesn't sell drugs. He keeps them for himself.
Sacramento got the first date and this immediately depressed me because she takes forever to talk. A nickname will come up for her. But holy worst-city-in-California does she take forever to get a sentence out. And not in some slow drawl or speech impediment way. She just goes a mile a minute then pauses like the lights go dark as she searches for an adjective. Actually, let's just call her CRICKETS, because we hear them when we wait for her to finish a sentence.
It's like, "Juan Pablo and I are on this………….. incredible date and it's absolutely…………crazy to think that this could be the beginning of an………..amazing Aventura with a guy who could one day………….become my husband."
She also does the craziest stuff with her mouth, she full on does the SNL Tri Delt face. Look at the girl on the right!
Our Bah Chay Lore, or "WAPALO" as the girls pronounce it, arrives in a Tesla proving on top of being a good dad, completely incomprehensible to the human ear, in great shape, that he is also environmentally conscious. At least if you are pretending to drive a 100K car, you might as well pretend to give a fuck about the earth.
This whole episode was a return in a BIG way to the Harrison drug days. I think he cleaned it up the year of his divorce to maintain custody, but now that his day in court is up, this season is going to be Scarface.
Wapalo blindfolds Crickets for their drive to their date which sucks because we only had her mouth and her jacket she stole from the Rocketeer to focus on. They arrive at a place covered in snow even though it's southern California. I went to USC film school and they told me this was a metaphor for all the cocaine Chris Harrison plans to do this season. Or, it literally was the cocaine and he was hiding it in plain sight. Cunning fox.
The played in the snow, got super hyper, got mostly naked and got in a hot tub and Wapalo got a back rub, which I think is his move. To be fair, Crickets has a nice body and I'm sure Wapalo was having a fun time en La Valle De La Cocaina.
Then, ABC found one of the former GEICO cavemen who really let himself go to sing some songs for them no one will ever remember except Crickets, who will tattoo the lyrics on her arm the minute she is sent home because Sacramento.
Next Juan-on-Juan was with Kat, who doesn't get a nickname yet, but is the kind of skinny that makes you look old. In total contrast to Crickets, she looks way better with her mouth open. That was not sexual. For real, I promise. She's 29 going on AARP.
Wapalo does his usual "act surprised constantly" schtick, which works because he is good looking. I think sometimes he's just surprised that he can totally make up English words and no one even bats an eye.
They get on a private jet and Kat goes into the totally moronic "I can picture myself" speech, except this time she says it about flying around the world with her Latin lover. Kat, he doesn't have a private jet. He has a daughter and a made up job. If by flying around the world you mean Southwest Airlines Flight 231 Burbank to Phoenix in boarding group B, then you got it right. Also, how on earth did you think he might be taking you to New York? What do you think the range on that plane was? You are totally as Scottsdale as Crickets is Sacramento. And not the nice Scottsdale with shopping and steaks and spring training baseball. The kind with nightclubs called "Wet" or "Ice". That's you.
Guess what. You're going to Salt Lake City for the Electric Run, which is basically a 5k through a Las Vegas night club. It's thousands of people dressed in neon running under black lights and umbrellas in trees and there's glow sticks. It's basically the douchebag tent at Coachella combined with the lowliest of "competitive runs", the 5 fucking K. I run a 5K on the treadmill on off days, stop acting like you ran a marathon. You paid 40 bucks to run 3 miles.
Anyway, the Electric Run is actually a 5K that would be fun because you could drink during it (or take hard narcotics like Chris Harrison was on when he decided I NEED ALL THE LIGHTS AND THE COLORS AND THE SOUNDS!). The thing is, they fly to Salt Lake City and the crowd is sober as hell because Mormons.
If you aren't terrified by thousands of hot, sober blonde people dancing their asses off while exercising in the middle of the night just because "life is fun", than you need to watch more horror movies.
Either way, Scottsdale was the perfect person to bring, she came equipped with one hundred drunk, silicon enhanced dance moves. I'd bring her on that date even though I am not attracted to her.
Back at the mansion, the girl who constantly feels the need to show us how bad she is at local newscasting is wondering when she will get a date. I am wondering when she will get an upper lip or start singing Disney songs and staring at the ceiling longingly. I dub thee Lipmunk. Because her lack of upper lip makes her look like a chipmunk newscaster. Actually, let's go with Chipmunk Newscaster. Who gives a fuck, she gets booted. Let's just stop talking about her in general. Catch you on the news in case I ever have a layover in Hellsburg, Whereverthefuckyourfrom.
The next date is a big ass group date and they go to support some "let's not kill dogs" thing and I know most of you will hate me, but I've had cancer twice, can we solve that first? I mean, adopt a shelter dog, I am into it. But let's cure cancer. If we cure cancer, we'll live longer and can save more dogs. Less cancer, more dogs.
They are going to do a photo shoot with dogs in dumb outfits to see how much mundo and Aventura these girls have. It's a typical bachelor ploy and I am glad to see them going back to it.
Chris Harrison was weaving a masterpiece. Cocaine party, MDMA lazer party and now naked photo shoot. Basically his weekend, night by night.
The dog loving girl with the one eye that constantly looks stoned, like marijuana only effects half her face (Blazy Eye) got the gnarliest costume ever. It looked like she did the mud run through a fat dude's colon. One eye looked pissed off. The other was like "Did you see the new Hobbit?"
Super Naked Flower Power was happy to switch to wearing nothing instead of Missy Piggy because YOU CAN'T BE NAKED IN FORTY FORTY FORT.
Chris Harrison then pulled off his greatest coup ever. He got a fucking district attorney to get naked on national television. This is a woman who deals with criminals, has a law degree, understands the internet is forever and Harrison still gets her naked on TV. How she was so self-conscious, not sure.
Good on Jennifer Maniston in make up. She may not be hot enough to win the day, but she is easily the best choice for a wife and mother.
Vertical Natalie Portman (the one who looks like Natalie Portman if she was stretched over a foot) tells Wapalo that she has a son (with Detroit Piston Rodney Stuckey who makes 8.5 million a year) and he's super nice. She used to be a Pistons Dancer. I feel like 95% of Bachelor contestants pretend to do something else, but they are all former dancers. They all date athletes. Stop pretending you are under the radar.
Anyway, she's good looking in a Natalie Portland genetically spliced with a giraffe sort of way (does it for me, how bout you?).
Wapalo takes world's best natural body teacher Nikki to have what looks to be a really great chat filled with weird gestures and sayings that if they came without an accent would be creep city. Then all hell breaks loose. Jersey Shore Legal Assistant drinks a gallon of tequila on an empty stomach and goes to that special place college girls go to when they drink like that: A POSTOFFICE WITH A SHOTGUN.
I think every man in America gave their wives and girlfriends a huge kiss for not being that girl, because if they were, they'd not be wives or girlfriends. Guys at that level barf, fight, eat or pass out. Girls at that level are like eM0T!0N$.
This girl starts saying straddling people is the meaning of life and that she gave him the hyman maneuver, which I am pretty sure you can only give once and also pretty sure she gave it years ago.
Then she storms around confused for a while until she is in a full blown meltdown in a public bathroom, the scene of her one and only hyman maneuver years ago and Jennifer Maniston is the best human ever diving under the damn stall door to try and console a coked up badger.
Wapalo is super nice about it, I really dig his low key vibes. The girls are talking MAD SHIT until he shows up and then they are like OH I JUST FEEL BAD FOR HER HE'S SO KIND and then he leaves and they are like right back to OH FUCK THAT DRUNK BITCH.
I love girls. Even when they are crazy.
The next day Wapalo offers the Straddler a chance to make good, but she is basically a two year old, incapable of raising herself, let alone a child. I mean, make a good excuse. She was basically like I JUST GOT A LITTLE TOO RAD LAST NIGHT, MAYBE DEAL WITH IT, WHAT DO YOU NEED, LIKE A HYMAN MANUEVER?
She got cut like 4th period French.
Cocktail party, Vertical Natalie Portman starts crying and tripping out and Jennifer Maniston consoles her and even gives up the room when Wapalo shows up. She's a peach. She even was wiping eye boogers off a rich cheerleader to help her make a good impression on a man she's also trying to date. Someone marry her.
Miss Piggy dresses the part again. Maybe now we can start to expect the muppets.
The final rose goes to a girl that looks like Olivia Wilde if she worked at a Buffalo Wild Wings by the airport. Olivia Wild Wings.
Chipmunk Newscaster goes home. Some others go home. Let's start trimming the fat and making some friends so I know how to really explain why they are broken.
Sorry for being sick, but this happens. For those of you tripping out (and I love you for it), check my TWITTER and I'll always let you know where the post is at. Also follow me on instagram because I'm pretty fun to hang with. Links are below.

A business or an investment fund is simply a betting pool for people who have coin or credit. The bet represents all the information that the investor has acquired over some period and the dollar amount of her bet represents the minimum cost of the information acquired. This means that the actual cost of creating the investment fund, asset, or business means nothing to the investor.
All that matters is an outcome that recovers her cost for accumulating information that helps her determine whether her preferred outcome-a return of and on her capital-will be realized. Information on sunk costs mean nothing to her (much to the chagrin of the run-of-the-mill economist).
For information traders entering information markets what should matter is providing information that addresses existential threats to profits and revenues. The information trader must have awareness of the outcome the investor is interested in.
Investors watching political markets are interested in whether a decision poses an existential threat to a firm or a firm's profits or revenues. Existential threats posed by government come in the form of a revocation of a license, denial of access to natural resources, or denial of access to financial capital. The investor wants to know the likelihood of the occurrence of these events.
In hind sight this is why the Trump Effect became vacuous. The expectations surrounding the Trump administration's impact on investment never took into account government's prime operational mandate which is to exploit the natural environment of a physical area. It does this by managing the extraction of resources from that physical area. In the case of American government, it has determined that extraction would best be carried out by a private sector driven by a profit motive.
Businesses provide efficient methods for extracting resources and converting the resources into "taxable events" i.e. goods and services for sale. Businesses convert human resources into taxable events by employing labor thus making humans available for taxation by government.
The subsequent uncertainty experienced by the financial markets post Mr Trump's inauguration was the result of investors listening to the "emotional marketing" of the 2016 campaign. Rhetoric regarding bringing back manufacturing jobs into a political economy that favors information as its primary resource or building more bridges to nowhere via infrastructure knowing that the multiplier effect is limited by a project's termination date was baseless but pulled on enough heartstrings of investors that they forgot or were forced to overlook even further government's prime mission.
Also, the financial markets can't risk forgetting that the U.S. is a federal system and states have to be considered when assessing the American economy. States have to be on board with any policies that address contraction or expansion of licensing or access to natural resources. For example, it is one thing for the federal government to increase access to radio frequencies by mobile telephone companies. But if the states do not put in place rights-of-way policies that allow mobile phone companies to deploy tower facilities, then having a license to transmit wireless signals is meaningless and the firm faces a scenario of less revenues.
When discerning what information matters, the focus should be on political information that threatens the continued existence of a firm or threats to its revenues and profits. Investors need to discern between the emotional or campaign marketing noise and substantive political intelligence that addresses a firm's existence.

Fanart Friday returns, tellin' it like it is--there was no lady, no two-gun shooter, and a lot more alcohol involved. Last week, we put on our goggles and got our comically huge wrenches for a trip through the steampunk genre, but this week we're going for a more classic staple--the WESTERN genre!
As you're going to see below, "western" means far more than just cowboys, the old American frontier, and adventures on horseback--western themes and style can extend to Feudal Japan, to the modern day, and even to the far reaches of space. Let's get started!
DISCLAIMER: None of the art presented is the property of myself or Crunchyroll. All characters and series are tm and © their respective creators and corporate owners. All art is the creative property of their respective artists. Any artists who wish to have their work removed from this article may contact me, and appropriate action will be immediately taken.
Let's start with the pinnacle of the western hero, Clint Eastwood--who lives just a few towns away from me in Carmel, CA. While my favorite western of his was the dark and ruthless Unforgiven, he's probably best known as The Man with No Name, "hero" of A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. You seriously owe it to yourself to check every one of these classics out.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have this tough-talking jackass. Early in Final Fantasy VIII, Irvine Kinneas plays up the tough, loner cowboy image, talking about how difficult things are for him, how he has to decide life and death with the pull of a trigger etc. etc. Then we find out he's totally full of shit, and Squall has to go do everything himself.
by ナミツー
Good westerns aren't always about gunslingers and moral dilemmas--sometimes, they're told from a more human perspective. Coyote Ragtime Show does have crazy action and a very overt western motif, but at its heart it's really just about a man having to take care of his late friend's daughter. Awesome, stylish stuff here!
And then you have Red Dead Redemption, which put you in the shoes of fierce former outlaw John Marston, and then unleashed you on an Old West that wasn't quite ready to become the New West. I can't stress enough how important atmosphere is in an open-world game--you want to be a part of this world, you want to explore every tiny nook and cranny and get involved in every little bit of it. Maybe it's why I stuck with Red Dead Redemption and Sleeping Dogs--those are the kind of movies I love.

Leiji Matsumoto is known for his sprawling sci-fi epics, and while Gun Frontier stars his sci-fi leads Harlock and Tochiro, it's actually a lighthearted comedy. Most importantly, the roles are switched, with Tochiro taking the lead, with his unusually badass sidekick Harlock riding shotgun.
by DarkKenjie
An astute reader realized that not all westerns are told from the "cowboy" point of view--Princess Mononoke is about an indigenous, in-touch-with-nature people fighting to save their homeland from encroaching invaders. Sound familiar to you?
by プルー
I looked at a bunch of Wild Arms art, but it was this piece showing off a ton of characters from the first three games (I'm not counting Thousand Arms, fun as that was) really got the nostalgia flowing. It's nice to see a JRPG that strays from the usual "sorta-fantasy, sorta-sci-fi" style.
by torokun
Y'know what? I'm gonna be blunt--I didn't watch Samurai Gun. I judged a book by its cover, because holy shit that is the most unimaginative, least-evocative title in the history of anything ever. But to be honest, the art looks really cool and I've been in the mood for something new.
by アガハリ
Whoo boy, did I love Grenadier. So shameless, so silly, so fun. I mean, she keeps bullets in her cleavage and reloads with a bounce. It's TRIGUN with a thousand times more fanservice, and the camp factor dialed to eleven.
by いがきり
Notice how a lot of these "space westerns" were coming out around the same time? I miss that genre. I didn't actually get burned out on 'em like a lot of people (understandably) did. Outlaw Star had its share of fightin' and shootin', but I remember the bulk of the series being about a race--a very, very violent race. Just like Hidalgo!
by OSK-studio
Martial arts westerns aren't as common as you'd think--I can immediately only think of Jackie Chan's Shanghai movies, The Stranger and the Gunfighter, and the awesome The Good, the Bad, and the Weird, but there's another that people keep forgetting about: Fist of the North Star. No, I'm not kidding--it has the dusty atmosphere, the "wandering gunman" hero (if you swap out a six-shooter for Hokuto Shinken), and is a hell of a lot of fun to watch.
by はにくら
Shortly after he finished Rurouni Kenshin, Nobuhiro Watsuki made a little three-volume manga called Gun Blaze West, that nobody bought and nobody loved... except me.
by charimei
Have I mentioned before how blown-away I was at the quality of Gun X Sword? It has another hilariously unimaginative title, but it had excellent character designs from Takahiro Kimura, a very well-developed world, and some truly likeable characters. Also, "the one guy in a gunslinging world who owns a weird flexible sword" was a very nice change of pace.
by Marshbreeze
Next to all the yamato nadeshiko and princess-type characters in Sakura Wars, Gemini Sunrise might seem out of place. She kind of is, but it's pretty awesome having a sword-wielding cowgirl along for the ride. (Honestly, I'm not using her much in Project X Zone. She and Erica just get to do cleanup.)
by 緋
It's not just the hat--Vampire Hunter D takes place in a world of terrified, insular villagers, with a lone hero riding in to try and solve their problems, then just as swiftly riding off into the sunset.
by 禮人。
Same goes for Kurohime, although that was far more on the "buxom witch with magical guns" side of things as opposed to "dark, tortured hero." Think of Kurohime here as a proto-Bayonetta.
by Draghignazzo
Okay, fine, sometimes it is just the hat (and not much else). Dead or Alive has its share of stereotypes, from Japanese ninja schoolgirls to cheomsang-wearing Chinese co-eds, but their "American" fighter Tina takes it to a whole new level.
by odysseyart
Confession time: I kinda hate Firefly's theme song. I also hate the clunky, random usage of Mandarin. But other than that, it's still pretty darn good. Usually, a crowd of people going on and on about something makes me not want to watch it, but Firefly is a great representative of the "space western," and at only fourteen episodes and one movie, it's worth checking out if you haven't already.
by いもーす
A lot of you probably started out on "anime westerns" with TRIGUN--I know I did. I remember the days of $30-a-pop subtitled VHS tapes back when Pioneer had the license. It was a bargain at the time--unlike ADV, Pioneer was kind enough to include four episodes on each tape!
by みが
Can't have a western-themed installment without this weirdo. From slippery side villain to major threat to his early days as a slightly-crazed Big Boss fanboy, Revolver Ocelot and his obsession with spaghetti westerns is one of the most unforgettable parts of the Metal Gear saga.
by いじゃ/井蔵みう
I was lamenting the horrors of searching for Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa art (seriously, bad idea) on Facebook, when our very own Humberto Saabedra swings in and offers a suggestion: Satsuriku no Jango, and its "rule 63 Clint Eastwood" Donne Anomine. Good call, Humberto!
by JorgeDaniel
Bravestarr is crap. Like, total crap. I don't like watching it as much as I enjoy watching people's reactions to how stupid it can get. Here, just watch the opening. Have fun. Try not to go crazy.
by KrisJustice
On the other hand, Justified rocks. It's a brutal, modern western that would work just as well with horses and Colt Peacemakers as it does with Raylan Givens' insane driving and sleek Glock. Good stuff, all around.
by ちょ
There was a bunch of great art for both of these titles, but getting the heroes of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo together is impossible to pass up. Both shows show heavy western influence--Bebop is more melancholy while Champloo is more frenetic--and they both put their characters through hell before any sort of resolution happens for any of them. If you want anime westerns, this is where you should start.
And that's all for this week! There's no way I could have included everything, so what are your favorite westerns? Who are your favorite western-styled characters? Sound off in the comments!
The submissions keep coming in, and your art is always welcome on Fanart Friday, regardless of your skill level or experience. Send me a link to your work, and I'll make sure to include it in a future installment! Now, I know from personal experience that it takes longer than a week to put together something you're proud of, so here are the next three upcoming installments of Fanart Friday:
-Next week, on JULY 19th, we're exploring "high tech and low life" with a trip through the CYBERPUNK genre! THIS IS THE ONLY THEME I'LL BE TAKING REQUESTS FOR THIS WEEK!
-On JULY 26th, we're hitting the street with a look at the NOIR genre!
-We start a new month on AUGUST 2nd by returning to a personal favorite theme of mine: BRICK HOUSE EDITION returns!
Thanks again for checking out Fanart Friday. I hope everybody has a great weekend--I'm off to see Pacific Rim--and I hope you drop by next week, too!

Bought as a challenge, has a dirty but intact speaker fabric, good celluloid tuning scale and cover glass in its frame, all the right knobs, undamaged back, but it looks horrible, dark and scratched with bald patches.
After a good look around and separating a few rotted rubber wires there seemed little that had been messed with other than the electrolytic block is missing from under the chassis having been replaced by a pair of 32uf Hunts "Tom Thumb" caps which are OK.
I would like to find a picture of the original so I can recreate the box if anyone could oblige please.
Fabulous mains/waveband switch, a real work of art.
Checking valve filaments showed the output 41MP to have an intermittent filament, not the solder on the pins, but with a rap I got continuity. How long for is in question.
Mains and output transformers checked out OK as did the energised speaker. Some small cone damage, spotted it with glue to stop it getting worse, it is centred OK. No shorts on LT or HT
Rewired the dial lamps wiring (both worked!) with a bit of old mucky white pvc and the 3 speaker wires with cotton covered wire to replace the rubber horrors, sleeved the top cap lead to V1 , decided that the mains lead was serviceable, and gave it the beans.
Nothing but crackles when the tuner was moved, could see lots of blue sparks in the air gaps of the oscillator section so washed it out with IPA and a brush. When it had dried was rewarded with sound on all 3 wavebands. The volume control was noisy but on opening it discovered that the wiper presses a continuous metal strip onto the track rather than making direct contact. A quick scrub with a pencil on the track brought about an improvement.
No top notes so removed the tone corrector from across the output transformer primary. A 1000v componant, not leaky at all!
Short wave not brilliant but the set is working as a superhet on short wave, local oscillator is running. MW & LW work well if the reaction control is adjusted, its a TRF on these bands.
All voltages seem about correct, checked on the 4 waxy 0.1uf caps and they all seem to be acceptable, most of the caps are bakelite mica blocks and all are fine. Even the high value resistors are within 20% of the marked values. Terrible job to lift one end for checks as it is put together like a birds nest with those infuriating wire wrapped and soldered connections all over the show. But its 82 years old so they got it right even if it is difficult to work on. Minimum disturbance and meddling, its got to retain its originality, warts and all. Just blow off the fluff and dust, no polishing of chassis or mass component changes.
So leave it running while I looked at the cabinet which is horrible. Someone has refinished it with treacle brown varnish on top of the original light polish so the whole lot has to come off, much paint stripper turned it into a sticky black goo but it stripped eventually. I will sand lightly and treat it with worm killer anyway though there is none at all, and finish with 4 coats of Danish oil. A little bit of veneer is required on the front bottom edge, otherwise it is very good.
More and some finished pix to come.........................

Each week on our podcast, Travelogue, we discuss where we've been and what we've discovered along the way, the people and places beckoning us next, and the food, shops, and events worth getting on a plane for. This week, we focused on the journey and not the destination. Airplanes can be a tricky place to navigate, with (often unwritten) rules about armrest sharing, seat reclining, and in-flight dining. Should you push your seat back? Should you choose the middle seat? Should you eat a Nicoise salad? It turns out that we have strong feeling about all these conundrums, so tune in to this week's episode to hear them. And maybe skip the salad on your next flight.
Thanks to Brad Rickman, Jayna Maleri, Laura Redman, Katherine LaGrave, and Mark Ellwood for lending their voices and thoughts this week. Check back next Friday for our latest installment of Travelogue. To keep up with our podcast each week, subscribe to Travelogue on the iTunes store.

Budget Officer Bucco's Statement on First FY18 State Budget Hearing
Please Share:
Senate Republican Budget Officer Anthony Bucco (R-Morris) released the following statement on the start of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee's hearings on Governor Christie's Fiscal Year 2018 State budget proposal.
"Over the course of the past several years, this committee has worked on a bipartisan basis to enact fiscally responsible measures that are already making New Jersey more affordable for our taxpayers," Senator Bucco said.
"As Treasurer Scudder noted in his remarks today, we are in a much better place now than we were eight years ago.
NJ taxpayers deserve a budget they can trust&believe in. This is their money we're dealing with. Let's get to work
— Sen. Anthony Bucco (@tonybucco) April 6, 2017
"Revenues are still rising, spending remains consistently flat, and we are once again making the largest pension payment in history – all while still keeping our commitment to funding education, and services to help our most vulnerable residents.
"It is critical that we maintain the business tax cuts from years ago, as well as the landmark reforms we enacted just last year, such as the elimination of the estate tax. That's what will keep retirees and small businesses from leaving New Jersey.
"Now we must keep moving forward. New Jersey residents deserve a budget that they can trust and believe in. This is their money we're dealing with.
"My colleagues and I are ready to enact a balanced budget that lowers property taxes and makes New Jersey a stronger, more competitive place for people to work and live."

ColorBlaze® Marooned™ Coleus
When Solenostemon scutellarioides ColorBlaze® Marooned™ arrived on my front porch last spring, my first thought was, "Okay, it's a Coleus, and not a terribly exciting one." I planted it up in a large antique metal bowl along with some Osteospermums and put it out by the pool. Little did I know that we'd have one of the most brutal summers I can remember.
I live in northwestern Ohio (Zone 5b), and in 2012, we had weeks of hot, dry weather. But that Marooned was a trouper — and in full sun! Not only did it survive, it thrived beyond belief. It crowded out two of the three Osteospermums and looked more fabulous in that container than I ever dreamed possible. This was no ordinary Coleus.

CLARK—The New Jersey Metro Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society honored Melissa Ann Waters of Clark during its annual scholarship awards ceremony last month.
Waters was one of 62 area students who received scholarships totaling $64,000 from the chapter this year. She will attend York College in the fall and plans to majoring in elementary and special education.
The economic impact of MS is substantial. Direct and indirect costs of MS, including lost wages, (even for those with insurance coverage) are estimated at more than $69,000 annually, with a total lifetime cost per family of $3 million. These challenges make funding a college education that much harder.
"We know so many families struggling to cope with the financial impact of MS," says Michael Elkow, president of New Jersey Metro Chapter of the National MS Society. "This is why we are fighting this often hidden effect of multiple sclerosis – because MS shouldn't stand in the way of an education."
For more information about the New Jersey Metro Chapter's Scholarship Program, contact Patti Pasquino at 201-967-5599 extension 206 or email@example.com. For information about multiple sclerosis or programs and services for all those affected by the disease, call 1-800-344-4867 or visit www.nationalMSsociety.org/njm.

Mortgage Rates decline to 3.89%, No Significant Increase in Refinance Activity Expected
A few months ago, there was some discussion of a possible "refi boom" due to falling mortgage rates. I argued then that that was unlikely.
Mortgage rates have fallen further, but rates are still far above the level required for a significant increase in refinance activity.
This morning Freddie Mac reported: Mortgage Rates Lower Across the Board
Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing average fixed mortgage rates down from the previous week. At 3.89 percent, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is at its lowest level since the week of May 30, 2013.
Click on graph for larger image.
This graph shows the 30 year fixed rate mortgage interest rate from the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey® compared to the MBA refinance index.
The refinance index dropped sharply last year when mortgage rates increased. Historically refinance activity picks up significantly when mortgage rates fall about 50 bps from a recent level.
Many borrowers who took out mortgages last year can refinance now - but that is a small number of total borrowers. For a significant increase in refinance activity, rates would have to fall below the late 2012 lows (on a monthly basis, 30 year mortgage rates were at 3.35% in the PMMS in November and December 2012.
Based on the relationship between the 30 year mortgage rate and 10-year Treasury yields, the 10-year Treasury yield would probably have to decline to 1.5% or lower for a significant refinance boom (in the near future). With the 10-year yield currently at 2.27%, I don't expect a significant increase in refinance activity any time soon.

I didn't mean for this to be somber, but I'm scared. Sure my brother joined the Air Force because he didn't know what else to do. His first year of college at UND for some reason didn't do it for him, so he turned to the military. Fine. He's been in for going on three years now. He's stationed in Italy. It's all good. However, about a month ago I found out he's being deployed to Afghanistan in May for 5 months. He assured me he's just going to be doing what he does now which is load bombs onto trailors. He won't even be allowed off base. He's not going to be poking around in any caves or anything like that. But I can't help but be scared. He's my only brother. My only sibling. And after visiting him last week I was reminded of how much I love him. Even though we haven't really spent a lot of time together since we were kids, I still have a connection with him. I don't want to lose that. I'm glad I visited, but man. It's making me cry a lot at night now because I miss him a lot even though I haven't really had him in my life on a regular basis since I was 18. I cried when I got on the plane that was leaving Italy too. Maybe it's a big sister thing to cry when leaving your little brother who was once your only playmate in a foreign country, even if he has lived there for over two years. It's not easy. Not when you actually take the time to face the fact that your only brother lives 4,000 miles away from you. I can't help but regret a small part of my trip where I only visited him for a day. I should have made more time for him. He's still there in a small Italian mountain town, preparing to go to an even more remote mountainous landscape that is so much more unforgiving.
Ok. I just had to vent that. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep now. And hopefully the rest of this blog will be less depressing than this entry.
