This Surface Water Assessment Grant (SWAG) project is intended to supplement the 2019-2020 Intensive Watershed Monitoring (IWM) process for the Buffalo and Upper Red River of the North watersheds. Nine sites will provide water chemistry and river eutrophication data to the IWM. Monitoring sites were requested by the Buffalo - Red River Watershed District (BRRWD) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
This project will maximize the utility and usefulness of three HSPF models that have been constructed and calibrated for hydrology. The contractor will identify and reduce parameterization errors in the following three HSPF models: 1) Buffalo River Watershed, 2 ) Thief River Watershed, 3) Bois de Sioux-Mustinka Watersheds. This will result, not only in a better hydrology calibration, but will also improve each of the models' ability to more accurately estimate sediment and pollutant loads and concentrations.
The purpose of this project is to identify effective irrigation and nutrient management best management practices and technologies and the barriers that prevent irrigators, producers, and other agricultural partners from adopting them in Otter Tail County. The primary goal is to reduce nitrate in areas where groundwater is susceptible to contamination as mapped by The Minnesota Department of Health by identifying effective BMPs and addressing the barriers to their adoption.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, and fieldwork expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities.
Lake Monitoring: Lakes are monitored for nutrients, clarity and other information to provide the data needed to assess the aquatic recreation use support.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, fieldwork, data management, and interpretation expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities.The ambient groundwater monitoring network describes the current condition and trends in Minnesota's groundwater quality.
The purpose of this project is to develop a detailed tool that can be used in all watersheds within the Otter Tail and Becker counties to prioritize, target, and measure implementation practices at the field scale. The PTM App will significantly increase the targeting capabilities in Otter Tail and Becker Counties. The Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy has not been completed for Otter Tail County, yet, and the PTM App will be able to assist targeting and prioritizing when those documents are created.
The Prioritization, Targeting, and Measuring Water Quality Improvement Application (PTMA) connects the general qualitative strategies in a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and Watershed Restoration and Protection (WRAP) and the identification of implementable on-the-ground Best Management Practices (BMPs). Leveraging geospatial data from the International Water Institute this application will be developed for two pilot areas within the Red River Basin.
This project will result in the development of three critical pieces of information. They include: 1. Development of restoration and protection strategies for all waterbodies in the district relative to the State's Non-point Source Funding plan 2. Use of PTMApp to tie the WRAPs implementation tables from the Buffalo and Red River Watersheds to targeted on-the-ground projects and practices that will provide measurable water quality improvements, and 3.
Realizing the need for increased technical capacity in the field offices, the Becker, East Otter Tail and West Otter Tail Soil and Water Conservation Districts have developed an agreement that will increase technical capacity while minimizing costs to each district. The first step was taken in this agreement through the recent hire of a shared engineer. Currently, minimal survey grade equipment is owned by the districts. This grant will be used to purchase an integrated survey system.
The goal of this project is to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
As part of the FY 2012 funding cycle, the Board of Water and Soil Resources granted funds for development of the Water Quality Decision Support Application (WQDSA). The WQDSA will provide land and water managers with geospatial data and online tools to prioritize, market, and implement actions on the landscape to achieve water quality objectives identified in local and state water plans and to ensure that public funding decisions are strategic and defensible.
The purpose of this project is to improve understanding of primary productivity in the Red River and the diversity and population structure of the algal communities occurring along the river system. This will be accomplished through taxonomic identification of periphyton and phytoplankton assemblages necessary for characterizing responses to nutrient gradients along the Red River of the North.
This project will develop an effective transferable model to engage and educate watershed residents, stakeholders and others to better understand and protect watershed ecostystems through environmental monitoring, training, and formal and informal education programs in their local watershed. The project will build on the foundation of the existing Red River Basin River Watch program by strengthening three main activity areas: 1) curriculum integration and teacher training, 2) youth leadership and civic engagement, and 3) applied research collaboration and watershed science skills building.
International Water Institute (IWI) staff will monitor 24 sites in the Bois de Sioux, Mustinka (2 sites), Buffalo (8 sites), Red Lake (4 sites), Sandhill (3 sites), Thief (2 sites), and Tamarac River (3 sites) Watersheds intensively over a 2 year period in an attempt to collect 25 samples per year at each site. If conditions allow for the collection of all planned samples, 1200 stream samples will be collected over the time period. Monitoring will include field measurements, observations, and at least three photographs during each site visit.
MN Legislative Clean Water Fund funding to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data all for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
Minnesota's wetlands provide crucial habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife, assist in flood control, and help maintain water quality. However, the state has lost half the wetlands that existed before European settlement and these drained wetlands have not been mapped as part of the National Wetlands Inventory. This appropriation is enabling efforts by Ducks Unlimited to provide a complement to the National Wetlands Inventory by identifying and mapping drained wetlands that have the potential to be restored to provide their various benefits once again.
Approximately 70 percent of all Minnesotans rely on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. Wells used for drinking water must be properly sealed when removed from service to protect both public health and Minnesota's invaluable groundwater resources. The Minnesota Department of Health protects both public health and groundwater by assuring the proper sealing of unused wells.
Clean Water funds are being provided to well owners as a 50% cost-share assistance for sealing unused public water-supply wells.

Before I go off on a rant, let me say that I am an Ancestry.com subscriber and have been for years. I would not be anywhere near where I am today in my research without their records. I find it a very good value for both the volume of records and the convenience of looking at those records from the comfort of my recliner chair in the middle of the night. I think their trees are sometimes useful as leads and for making contact with others researching the same families. I also think their introduction of "point & click genealogy" was a very, very bad idea.

Thanks for the link back, Linda. Your post gives some really concrete examples of things people should be looking out for but often aren't worried about taking the time to notice.ReplyDelete

I, too, have seen my family tree pillaged for information and have the information transformed into something else. Even when I have gotten a response from the person who has taken my info and modified it to their use, when I have pointed out their errors they have the nerve to tell me that my information was wrong. I finally got to the point where I will not publish on a public site, but have kept my tree private on Ancestry.com. This has stopped the pillaging, but I got a request for an invite to my tree, only to have the person take the photos on my tree and post to their own. It would have been nice to be asked or get a thank you, but nothing.ReplyDelete
The Anonymous note, above, sounds very much like my wife, but I know it isn't. She has been frustrated to have her tree duplicated by others, including the spelling errors!ReplyDelete
Good post; if only it were read by the ones doing the "point and click" "genealogy" - Thanks for sharing your thoughts - and examples!
Good post! I agree; I wish it took more work to add online information to the Ancestry trees. I still find bad information in my tree occasionally from my early days of doing genealogy, when I clicked "Add to my tree" a few times. Now I never click add on Ancestry and I never import gedcoms to my website. Everything that goes in is typed by my fingers.ReplyDelete
I have the same issues. I only upload some basic info to Ancestry with the rest included on my personal site. I've seen way too many horrible trees to even think about using it as true information. To be honest, I usually dismiss all "hints" pointing at another tree. But, yes, it is good to look over and possibly use to contact the individual who put it up. I know that has been a great source of help in the past.ReplyDelete
I also agree with Tonia, all info that goes into my tree now is typed by my hands. Importing it in automatically feels a bit cheap to me, so I don't like doing it.
Thanks for all the comments. I definitely agree with Tonia and Brian about typing everything yourself. That process also helps me remember the people so that I have a pretty good idea who is in my database. I'm not saying I can name everyone but I can probably tell you if I have any descendants for a specific great great grandmother's sister.ReplyDelete
You really nailed this one! Great article!ReplyDelete

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and eat a five-pound bag of candied nuts. Ever get those glazed nuts that are supposed to go on salads? In my house, they never make it to the salad. LET'S GO!
AMERICAN IDOL – 8:00PM (FOX) We're down to the final three this season, and tonight you'll get to visit the finalist's hometowns. Oh yes, it'll be all "aw shucks" and "he was such a good boy" when the show visits the families of Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, and Haley Reinhart. Then after the home visits, it's down to business as the final three sing three songs each for you before you call in and crush the dreams of one of them. Awwwww. ANTICIPATION: PENULTIMATE!
HEAT/BULLS – 8:30PM (TNT) It's game 2 of the Eastern conference finals this evening, with Chicago holding a 1-0 lead over the HEAThens after crushing LeBron and company in Game 1. I'm sad we're at the conference finals stage now, because I liked it better when these games started at 7:00PM. Yes, I'm married with children. Why do you ask? ANTICIPATION: TIRING!
COUGAR TOWN – 9:30PM (ABC) This is one of your last chances to see a new "Cougar Town" before ABC consigns it to 2012 mid-season replacement status. So fill up a giant candle votive with Shiraz and go nuts. Lou Diamond Phillips is guest starring tonight. Or perhaps, for him, we'll just say he's appearing. I think he was probably just in need of work. ANTICIPATION: BITTERSWEET!
BREAKING IN – 9:30PM (FOX) Mike Tyson is your guest star on Christian Slater's heist comedy. Now that right there is a guest star. Bite through the safe, Mikey! ANTICIPATION: TYSON!
MODERN FAMILY – 9:00PM (ABC) It's middle school graduation night, a veritable fiesta of awkwardness for everyone involved. The parents don't quite know why they're celebrating a non-graduation. The kid doesn't really want to go up on stage in front of everyone. The pain is almost too much to describe. ANTICIPATION: HIGH!

From shopping and opera to football and The Last Supper, this is the best of Milan.
1 Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
In sensible shoes, most of Milan's main attractions are accessible on foot. But the shopping, which is the reason many people put Milan on their map, is a hop, step and jump in stiletto-heeled platforms from almost anywhere in the city centre. Start at the gorgeous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, which is the glamorous forerunner of today's shopping malls and where the likes of Prada, Gucci and Louis Vuitton nestle. Known as the living room of Milan, the galleria opened in 1867 as one of the earliest and remains one of the largest examples of glass-and-iron architecture.
2 Quadrilatero d'Oro (Rectangle of Gold)
Good looks aside, flat shoes are recommended to navigate the chunky cobblestone streets that make up the world's most famous fashion district. The elegant, neo-classical buildings are bordered by Via della Spiga, Via Montenapoleone and Via Manzoni. Via Dante, which links Castello Sforzesco and the Duomo, has good shopping, too. Many of the best-known fashion houses have more than one shop in Milan's centre. Lesser-known brands offer quality at slightly cheaper prices, especially during the sales in January. (Winter is not a bad time to be there as the weather is not too cold and summers can be hot.)
3 Brera museum
The Pinacoteca di Brera houses one of the best collections of Italian art, including works by Mantegna, Raphael, Caravaggio and Piero della Francesca. The surrounding Brera district is known as the Montmartre of Milan and is the place to hang out in cool cafes with students studying at the nearby museum. www.brera.beniculturali.it.
4 The Milan Duomo
This massive white-marble structure is topped by a golden Madonna that overlooks the city from 108 metres above. Despite taking almost six centuries from 1386 to build, the cathedral is consistently Gothic. But the second-largest cathedral in Italy, after St Peters in Rome, has had many critics. "From every style in the world: and every style spoiled," English art critic of the Victorian era John Ruskin wrote. Oscar Wilde thought it "vile". Whatever way you view it, Milan continues to grow in a circle, keeping the Duomo at its heart.
5 Piazza del Duomo
The Duomo looms over a large square with its statue commemorating the first Italian king after the unification of Italy in 1861, of Vittorio Emanuele II. On holidays, this 17,000-square-metre forecourt is packed with a good representation of Milan's population of 1.3 million partaking in the favourite Italian pastime of passeggio or promenading.
6 Outlet shopping
If the original price tags at Versace, Chanel, Armani and Missoni make you blanch, there are good outlet shops nearby. Il Salvagente - translated as "the lifesaver" - at 16 Via Fratelli Bronzetti is one of the best-known for fashion for the whole family. Women's fashions from Miu Miu, Gucci, Dior, John Galliano, Lanvin, et al are about 50 per cent cheaper at Dmagazine Outlet at 20 Via Manzoni. salvagentemilano.it/html/milano-outlet.asp, dmagazine.it.
7 La Scala
Since its beginnings as an opera house in 1778, additions to Teatro alla Scala have made it the largest theatre structure in the world. There is something on almost every night of the year and tours are available of the building, its stage and collections. Opposite La Scala is Milan's Town Hall, which often has free exhibitions on loan from the Louvre in Paris. teatroallascala.org.
8 Caffe Miani (Zucca)
Just off the Duomo square and on a corner of the cross-shaped Galleria arcade you will find a modern incarnation of the original Campari bar where the famous aperitif was concocted. Admire the beautiful wall mosaics and ornate bar before sitting down with a glass of the red drink or a good cup of coffee to watch the passing parade. caffemiani.com.
9 Grand Hotel et de Milan
As one of Milan's oldest hotels, the gracious Grand is best known as the place where Giuseppe Verdi died in 1901. The hotel has five stars but is reasonably priced among some very expensive accommodation in this city. It is within an easy walk of the action and attractions. The recently renovated inn is part of the romantic history of Milan but has all the mod cons, such as wi-fi. grandhoteletdemilan.it.
10 BikeMi public bicycle rental
As in many modern cities, Milan has a good network of cycleways and a public bicycle rental system, BikeMi, which allows locals and visitors to take bikes from conveniently located stations and return them up to two hours later. A daily subscription costs €2.50 ($3) and a weekly costs €6. www.bikemi.com.
11 Cimitero Monumentale
Milan's most prominent families, including industrialists and artists, are buried here in tombs stunning in their dimension, conception and detail. The vast cemetery dates back to the industrial revolution and today doubles as an open-air art gallery displaying the works of Italy's most important artists and architects. monumentale.net.
12 Parco Sempione
This was once a private English garden containing a romantic and rich collection of plants. Today, it is also a lovely place to have a walk and a breath of fresh air, and to admire the foliage. ciaomilano.it/e/sights/sempione.asp.
13 Milanese architecture
While parts of the ancient city still exist, Milan was heavily bombed during World War II and the city now has a mix of architectural styles. Near the city centre, Via dei Giardini is aptly named for the rooftop gardens typical of Milan's apartment buildings. The Pirelli building has just been surpassed as the city's - and Italy's - highest by the Porta Nuova Garibaldi Tower. The new Museum of Contemporary Art is housed in CityLife, a residential apartment development featuring three towers designed by some of the world's most noted architects. tourism.milan.it, en.expo2015.org/.
14 Stadio San Siro
Known as the temple of football, Stadio San Siro is one of the largest and most attractive football stadiums in Europe. It can hold 80,000 spectators for matches featuring its home teams FC Internazionale Milano and AC Milan. San Siro is open daily for tours of the stadium and its museum. sansirotour.com.
15 Castello Sforzesco
Once a symbol of the power of Milan's great dukes, the castle is now a place of culture. The building was completed in two stages. The first in 1336 in peacetime has windows. The second part was finished during troubled times in 1450 and the windows omitted. Sforzesco forms part of the ancient city wall and is a perfect 200-metre by 200-metre square. Today, it houses a large art museum, archaeological exhibitions and Michelangelo's final sculpture, the Rondanini Pieta. Look out for the symbol of Milan, a red cross with blue snake, which features strongly and is best known as the badge of Alfa Romeo. www.milanocastello.it/ing/home.html.
16 Italian fare
Ristorante Solferino is a traditional and stylish place to eat Milanese favourites, such as risotto with saffron and osso buco. ilsolferino.com.
17 Navigli
This is the former harbour district of the city where the canals built by Cistercian monks in the 13th century were once as navigable as the canals of Venice. Today it is a popular residential district, which has an antique market on the third Sunday of each month. Also a great place to eat and kick on afterwards. A tour will help get the most out of Navigli. naviglilombardi.it.
18 The Last Supper
Book at least one month in advance to make sure you see Leonardo da Vinci's fresco in the former dining room of the Dominican monks of the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Take time to appreciate the master's use of light and perspective in one of the world's most copied artworks. tickitaly.com/galleries/davinci-last-supper.php.
19 Ago, Filo e Nodo (the Needle, Thread and Knot sculpture)
This artwork in Piazza Cadorna is Milan's most modern monument and symbolises the importance of fashion to the city. It was created in 2000 by Swedish artist Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, who is Dutch. tourism.milan.it.
20 Further afield
Milan is close to the lakes of Como and Maggiore and just less than an hour's drive to the Italian Alps, which can be seen from the city. It is also near the hill town of Bergamo. There are also day tours from Milan to outlet stores in Switzerland. city-discovery.com/milan.

Researchers developing techniques to strengthen the security of information systems
As computers increasingly transfer patient medical records and other sensitive information, a group of computer scientists at Kansas State University is doing basic research that will help designers keep such information safe.
Complex information systems form foundations in our nation's infrastructure and defense forces, and these systems contain data with different security levels, said John Hatcliff, K-State professor of computing and information sciences. As data are exchanged between various users, there's a danger that information could be released to unauthorized parties.
The ability to guarantee secure information flow is becoming more critical as government and industry push toward increasingly complex information systems in many areas, including health care, the military and in coordinating disaster relief, Hatcliff said. That's why K-State computer scientists are developing high-level policy languages and verification techniques to strengthen the security and integrity of such systems.
"Whether it's health care or military information, what people really want is the ability to push information out rapidly to anyone who needs it," Hatcliff said. "You may have a doctor trying to make a diagnosis or a platoon leader trying to coordinate a maneuver in the context of a larger battlefield operation. In either case, more information leads to better decision making and better outcomes. However, you have to make sure as you're aggressively pushing information to decision makers that you don't inadvertently leak sensitive information to someone who shouldn't be seeing it."
Hatcliff leads K-State's Specification, Analysis and Transformation of Software laboratory. The other computing and information sciences faculty researchers in the lab are associate professors Turban Amtoft and Robby, and assistant professor Simon Ou. These researchers do work in security, software engineering, programming language semantics and automatic analysis of computer software.
In March 2009, the research group, in collaboration with researchers at Princeton University, received a five-year, $3 million grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The researchers are developing tools to secure information systems so that when information is transferred across large systems, there is confidence that nothing is accidentally revealed.
"We're doing foundational research on novel forms of mathematical models and logics that enable designers and analysts to precisely state what information is allowed to flow from one point to another and under what conditions," Hatcliff said. "Then we're building tools to help people use those mathematical techniques to verify that their systems are correct."
The researchers also are receiving funding from Rockwell Collins, a company that creates communications and aviation electronics. The work with Rockwell Collins involves applying the K-State research team's verification tools to several systems being developed in U.S. Department of Defense security research projects.
Hatcliff said information leakage is a concern in many domains, like potential integration in the health care system with patients' medical records.
"Millions of dollars are being invested by federal and state governments to set up health information exchanges," Hatcliff said. "The idea of such an exchange is that you have a technology organization that facilitates and mediates the exchange of patient medical information between a variety of parties. The challenge is that the information in patients' records has different levels of sensitivity or security. These exchanges eventually are going to need a way to specify policies describing what information can be released and to whom, and the exchange will need to guarantee that those policies are adhered to."
Hatcliff said K-State's research shows promise for addressing these issues because it involves creating mathematical and logical models that can be used by special computer-based auditing programs to guarantee that an information system conforms to the stated information flow policy.
The researchers' tools also provide graphical visualizations of information flowing through a system so that designers and auditors can more quickly understand a system's information flow behavior. The research focuses on systems where very high levels of assurance are required, and it aims to prove conformance to information flow policies during a certification phase before a system is deployed.
"It's pretty rare in the software engineering and verification research community that you receive a significant amount of money to fund basic research and also have a company that's doing such advanced work fund you to take your basic research and apply it," Hatcliff said.
The collaboration with Princeton University is with Andrew Appel, professor and chair of Princeton's computer science department.
"We're very good at building tools that help programmers actually apply some of these techniques to real programs, and Andrew's very good at developing the underlying math and logic," Hatcliff said. "We're working together to come up with an even better collection of tools."
Through collaboration stipulations, the universities will provide student visits and exchanges. The grant also funds work for four graduate students and two undergraduates at K-State. K-State's research group has been awarded more than $12 million of research funding the past 10 years. The group's tools have been used in numerous academic research groups and by various industries worldwide.

Tofu Splurge: Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
Let's pretend I didn't just trash-talk myself publicly.
I love soy, but my body can only handle so much before it starts to bother me. Tofu is one of my favorite foods, so when I do eat it, I try to make it as tasty as possible and I mindfully enjoy every single bite. Last night's tofu splurge was this creamy and flavorful Spinach-Mushroom Quiche via 101 Cookbooks!
Get a little closer, don't be shy...
The recipe was supposed so be very involved and time consuming, but I failed to read that vital piece of information until I was ready to start cooking at my regular dinner-cooking time! Dummy! To save time, I toasted the oats and seeds for the crust on a skillet instead of the oven, and I used frozen spinach. Also, I made the quiche in (four) little tartlet pans instead of one big pie dish to reduce baking time. I baked them for 40 minutes, but that was too long because the crust was a bit overbaked. If you decide to make little ones, you might want to try 30 or 35 minutes instead. It took me an hour and a half from start to finish, so the shortcuts paid off! The tofu filling was delicious! How can you go wrong with tofu, mushrooms, and spinach? And how can you not love something that is made with a speedy herb and garlic infused olive oil? Go check out the recipe! Thank you for sharing, Heidi!
Up close and personal
Moving on to the couch potato business. Most of my Netflix finds are TV shows instead of movies. I love watching something that ends with a cliffhanger, and then just click "next episode" right away. Waiting for a whole week to see what happens next? No, thanks! Commercial breaks? Ha! I laugh at commercial breaks. One of my favorite cliffhanger-filled TV shows of all time is Alias. (Hi, Sal!) Jennifer Garner is so badass! The colorful wigs, the awesome outfits, the fancy accents, the high-energy fights - it's all so super cool! Papa Bristow (Victor Garber) is probably the coolest father on TV ever! Ever, I'm telling you! It did get a bit goofy after the first few seasons, but that's OK, at least it actually had an ending. Don't you hate it when they cancel shows without an ending? Grrr!!

I love the way the texture of your quiche looks. And you know, sometimes shortcuts are the difference between making and not making a dish. It pays to have a bag of already washed and chopped spinach in the freezer!ReplyDeleteReplies
Definitely! I rarely buy fresh spinach, unless it's baby spinach. Frozen spinach saves time and it doesn't stink up the house like fresh big-leaf spinach does - I really despise the smell of boiled spinach!Delete
yum, and may I add, yum - it looks so moist and lovely. Give me a slice of that, some potato salad and greens, and I'd be in heaven!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's very moist indeedy! And may I say - yum! :DDelete
Your quiche looks so perfect, I'd happily take a slice or two!ReplyDeleteReplies
You got it! It might be a little funky by the time the post man delivers it to your doorstep...Delete
I do love quiche so much. That might be the prettiest quiche I've ever seen.ReplyDeleteReplies
The recipe calls for a little sprinkling of paprika on top to make the quiche look pretty and more colorful. I love that kind of detail!Delete
BAHAHA I was reading this thinking, I'm sure River and I have discussed our love of Alias before! I love that show so much. I think it's time for another rewatch!ReplyDelete
That quiche looks so awesome, I'm gonna bookmark the recipe.Replies
It was such a badass show! Netflix only added it a couple of weeks ago here. What took them so long? I begged them to add it a few times!Delete
I hope you love the quiche too!
That is the most perfect looking quiche I ever saw! I also posted about tofu today. Tofu for president. But no more tummy troubles!ReplyDeleteReplies
Tofu for president! I'd vote for Senator Tofu if he promised not to bother me! :DDelete
I agree with Mihl! I've never seen a better looking quiche in my life. And the duck picture today is so very sweet.ReplyDelete
xo kitteeReplies
It was probably the tastiest quiche I've ever had in my life! Isn't Curly cute all smitten with his fluffy little tailio? :)Delete
- AnonymousOctober 12, 2012 at 4:08 PM
I could totally go for a big honkin' slice of that right now.ReplyDelete
I never watched Alias before but I have no idea why, I'm going to have to invest in Netflicks.Replies
Definitely check out Alias if you like spy/action shows! It's awesome!Delete
I hear you on the soy thing, hun! And as for VeganMoFo and not quitting - YOU CAN DO IT! I believe in you :DReplyDelete
Mmmm quiche, I really, really miss eating the quiche my mum used to make. Yours looks amazing!Replies
Oh and how could I forget about Curly, face-to-tail-squishing Curly!Delete
Thanks, Mandee! I have enough material for another week, so hopefully I'll make it. Yesterday's post was postponed until today because the video I was making took me all day! Your posts always seem so effortlessly done!Delete
Quiche is so good. Have you tried white bean quiche instead of tofu? Might not be quite the same, but worth a shot!
Curly sure loves his tail. He grooms it several times a day - gotta keep those tail feathers shiny and curly!

Congressman Eric Massa of NY tried to drive a fuel cell car from NY to DC to make an environmental point and to show how great fuel cell cars are. He failed at both.
Representative Massa made the 300 mile NY to DC trip in a car that has a maximum range of 200 miles. How? By enlisting the help of two SUVs to tow two fuel cell cars while not in use.
Massa drove one fuel cell car while a hybrid SUV [Chevy Tahoe] towing an additional SUV followed along. Once he got half way, he switched to new fuel cell car [which I assume was towed to the half way point sometime earlier so that it would be waiting for the environmentally-conscious congressman]. The empty fuel cell was then towed back by the first SUV. As he continued on his journey, the second SUV followed. Once Massa arrived in DC, the second SUV then towed the second fuel cell car back to NY.
So basically, one SUV traveled 400 miles and one SUV traveled 600 miles for a total of 1000 miles on a 300 mile trip. That's not even counting the mileage on the fuel cell car. Nice work there Captain Planet. [Famous DC via Boing Boing]

I finally committed to memory the name of the nice lady who takes my mail at the post office. It's Deena.
I finally committed to memory the name of the nice lady who takes my mail at the post office. It's Deena.
Deena decorated her Christmas tree on Thanksgiving. Her home is the holiday gathering place for both her and her husband's parents. Her mother is from Ireland and goes back home some, though not as much as she did when she was younger. Deena has traveled to Ireland a number of times, too. She has cousins there.
Amazing what you can learn when you put down your cellphone.
This particular encounter had begun like too many of my encounters now begin — by my exchanging pleasantries with someone and then burying my head in my email while that person performs a task that is useful for me. For some reason, I've grown to believe that 10 messages sent from afar — eight of them mass emails intended to sell me something — are of greater value and interest than the person in front of me.
I am not alone in this. It is becoming a bit of a challenge to have actual, undistracted conversations these days, what with all those cell phones buzzing on the table. I pity the poor public speaker trying to hold the attention of his or her tablet-wielding audience.
Has there ever been a social experiment in mass communication that has happened this rapidly? According to the website About.com, after Johannes Gutenberg invented the modern printing press in 1440, it was another 12 years before the first book, the Gutenberg Bible, was mass published. There was a time span of 39 years between the telephone's invention in 1876 and the establishment of transcontinental service by overhead wire. Television signals were first transmitted over long distance in 1927; nine years later there were only 200 in use worldwide.
In contrast, the word "Internet" wasn't defined until 1995 by something called the Federal Networking Council, and at the time only 14 percent of Americans told the Pew Research Center that they went online. As of May 2013, 85 percent said they did.
The widespread acceptance of smartphones has advanced even faster. The iPhone was released on June 29, 2007. Tech analyst IDC predicts a billion smartphones and 227 million tablets will be bought worldwide this year.
These are, of course, all incredible tools. They make it possible to accomplish work, engage in commerce and communicate with loved ones from almost anywhere. Wives across America no longer have to nag their husbands to pull over at a gas station and ask for directions. You can even communicate with someone in Ireland while waiting in line at the post office.
But all this worldwide interconnectivity can come at a price: Less connection to the people we are with.
The Internet is like a chainsaw — wonderfully useful, but not something that should remain running all the time. I'm not sure if our brains are designed to be able to communicate this way. We just can't focus as we once did. We certainly don't focus on each other.
At some point at the post office, I looked up as Deena quietly weighed and stamped my packages. I realized how rude I had become. She'd always been so friendly, and now she had been forced to perform this task in a businesslike manner while I stared at my phone. A tool meant to connect me to others had led to this disconnection, but it wasn't the tool's fault.
So I put it in my pocket and talked to her about Ireland. She was standing in front of me, and she had actually been there.

Since Ruscha's first road trip from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles in 1956, the artist has continued to engage the images he has encountered along the roads of the western United States. This multimedia presentation features some of his most iconic paintings, including two large-scale works from the 1960s, Standard Station, Amarillo, Texas (1963) and Standard Station with Ten-Cent Western Being Torn in Half (1964). The exhibition marks the first time these two paintings will be reunited in over three decades.
Ruscha's exploration of the topography of greater Los Angeles is represented by paintings that depict aerial grids of the city in smog and at night, as well as various Southern California horizons and sunsets, and paintings inspired by street names and road signs. The exhibition also includes many of the artist's most famous books, including Twentysix Gasoline Stations, Real-Estate Opportunities, Some Los Angeles Apartments, Thirtyfour Parking Lots, and the innovative panoramic Every Building on the Sunset Strip.
Ed Ruscha: Road Tested also explores the Ruscha's lifelong interest in the mechanics and design of cars through paintings, photographs, drawings, and the rarely seen film Miracle, which tells the story of a mechanic who is magically transformed as he rebuilds the carburetor on a 1965 Mustang. In describing the exhibition, Auping explains, "Ed's work has always been associated with the theme of travel, but amazingly an exhibition that brings together many of the images that have been specifically inspired by the road has never been put together."

How to Add Titles to Excel 2007 Charts
You can add titles to a chart to help describe its purpose. By default, titles are not added when you create a basic chart, but you can add them later manually. In addition to a main chart title that is generally displayed above a chart, you can add descriptive titles to the x-axis (category axis) and the y-axis (value axis).
Follow these steps to insert and edit chart titles in Excel 2007:
Click anywhere on the chart you want to modify.
Click the Chart Title button in the Labels group of the Chart Tools Layout tab.
A list of options appears:
None: The default choice; it means you don't want to display a title. Also use this option to remove a chart title you don't want.
Centered Overlay Title: Centers the title over the chart but retains the existing size of the chart.
Above Chart: Centers the title over the chart but adds room at the top so the title doesn't interfere with the chart itself.
Make a selection from the Chart Title drop-down list.
A box with the words Chart Title appears on the chart.Adding a title to your chart.
Double-click Chart Title and drag across the words Chart Title.
The words become highlighted.
Type the desired title.
The text you type replaces the words Chart Title.
Click anywhere outside the chart title to deselect it.
(Optional) To add an axis title, click the Axis Titles button on the Chart Tools Layout tab and then select the axis and the type of title you want to add. Repeat Steps 4–6 to edit the axis title.

While I'm not in the business of rubbishing very other board designs out there, I will concur my new Mako King is an outstanding board. It really does work like described, and its performance does indeed defy logic. The concave and rocker is, well its just weird.
But it is indeed a smooth ride and I had I a guy who has only learnt in the past 6 months riding it strapless, his first time on a TT and indeed the first time strapless.
The other guy who has ridden it, is getting one. It is an outstanding cross over board.
It feels like a very small board underfoot, and I can throw down all my hooked in freeride stuff.
Not sure how well it goes in serious surf just yet. Loads really well and can go early but also can be ridden in much higher winds, the tight rails really bite.
I share your enthusiasm but to write off all other designs is somewhat limited.

|PM Modi: Islamic heritage of India & Central Asia has rejected extremism
JPNN/Astana / Jul 07, 2015/Prime Minister Narendra Modi today underlined the common Islamic heritage of both India and Central Asia which has always rejected the forces of extremism and strongly pitched for enhanced defence and security cooperation between the two to combat terrorism.On his first visit to Central Asian countries, Modi, who flew to Kazakhstan's capital from Uzbekistan earlier in the day, asserted that both India and Central Asia cannot achieve their full potential without each other and nor will the region be more stable without the cooperation between the two.Addressing
a gathering at the Nazerbayev University, the Prime Minister said, "We live at the frontier of instability. We live close to the crucible of extremism and terrorism. We see terrorism spawned by nations and groups. Today, we also see cyber space become a platform without borders for terror to draw recruits to its cause."So, during this visit, we will strengthen our defence and security cooperation in the region. But, we will also combat terrorism by the strength of our values and our commitment to humanism."Asserting that he has come to write a "new chapter in an ancient relationship", Modi said, "the Islamic heritage of both India and Central Asia is defined by the highest ideals of Islam –- knowledge, piety, compassion and welfare. This is a heritage founded on the principle of love and devotion."And, it has always rejected the forces of extremism. Today, this is an important source of strength that brings India and Central Asia together."He also noted that the confluence of Indian and Islamic civilisations took place in Central Asia and enriched each other not only in spiritual thought but also in medicine, science, mathematics and astronomy.Immediately after his arrival, Modi held talks with his Kazakh counterpart Karim Massimov on various key bilateral and regional issues. The Prime Minister will be holding extensive talks with the Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev tomorrow after which the two countries are likely to ink a number of pacts including in the field of energy.
During his nearly half-an-hour speech, Modi touched upon other important issues including regional connectivity, establishment of a 21st century silk route and economic integration between India and Central Asian countries.Noting that the richness of ties between India and Central Asia was written into the contours of Indian cities and daily lives there, Modi said one could see this in architecture, art, handicraft and textile and in most popular foods."The dargahs of Delhi resonate with Sufi music that draws people from all faiths. The cities of Central Asia have become centres of yoga and Hindi, long before the world came together to celebrate the International Day of Yoga on 21st June," the Prime Minister said.However, he also rued that the engagement between India and Central Asia falls short of its promise and potential and said, "We have a special place in our hearts for each other. But, we have not paid as much attention to each other as we should. This will change. That is why I am travelling to all five countries in the region in the early stages of my Government."
"Both India and Central Asia cannot achieve their full potential without each other. Nor will our people be safer and our region more stable without our cooperation," Modi said while noting that they have built modern, inclusive and pluralist nations at a time when many in the region are caught in conflict and instability.Stressing that from theatres of conflicts to the calm neighbourhoods of distant cities, terrorism has become a global challenge as never before, Modi said it was a force that is larger and more enduring than its changing names, locations and targets. "So, we must ask ourselves: Will we let a generation of youth be lost to guns and hate, because they will hold us accountable for their lost future?," he said.Describing Kazakhstan as "a nation of global stature and respect", he said this was not just because mother nature has been generous to it with resources of every kind. "Kazakhstan is a voice of responsibility and maturity in international forums, including the United Nations."He also recalled Kazakhstan's generosity in making way for India's bid for the membership of the UN Security Council in 2011-12 and assured India's support for the Central Asian country's bid in 2017-18. On trade ties, Modi said trade was expanding, but it was still modest. The cooperation in energy sector has begun, he said while highlighting today's launch of the drilling of the first oil well with Indian investments in Kazakhstan.He also said Indian investments in Central Asia have started flowing in and asserted that India was prepared to invest more in a new partnership of prosperity.The Prime Minister also offered expertise in information and communication technology to create wealth and opportunities for the youth as well as in the field of space technology for closer partnership in development and resource management.

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

Hillary Clinton on Twitter: a loss of faith
By Sally Quinn
The Washington Post
There were two surprising things about Hillary Clinton's first tweet.
Clinton broke her Twitter silence this week with this bio: "Wife, mom, lawyer, women and kids advocate, FLOAR, FLOTUS, US Senator, SecState, author, dog owner, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, glass ceiling cracker, TBD … ." A photo by Diana Walker showing a serious-looking Clinton in black and looking at her Blackberry through dark glasses is her avatar.
What's surprising is that the photograph belies her tweet. You would think with that choice of photo she would start her bio with anything but "wife, mom." If she's itemizing her accomplishments and interests, to have U.S. Senator and Secretary of State at Nos. 7 and 8 pretty much gives the shaft to the whole notion of "leaning in." Read more…

It's time once again to take a look back at some of the top stories from this past week with our Sheridan Media Week in Review. The Sheridan City Council Tuesday approved a resolution to apply for a Community Readiness Grant through the Wyoming Business Council to extend infrastructure at the Hi-Tech Business Park in North Sheridan. City of Sheridan Planning Director Robert Briggs.
Sheridan County School District One has cut six jobs in order to balance its budget. Business manager, Jeremy Smith, said student enrollment, and therefore state funding, is down.
After the district announced the necessary cuts to the staff, six volunteers agreed to take severance packages. The severance package for those who voluntarily stepped down is $1000 per year for up to 10 years.

The opportunity
Americans are increasingly eating away from home and choosing restaurants, cafeterias and other eateries to meet their dining needs. Restaurants and dining facilities can have a significant impact upon the environment, through their food purchasing decisions and facility operations. For example, restaurants use nearly five times the energy of a conventional office building and purchase thousands of pounds of meat and seafood each year. Dining managers can play a critical role in improving their facilities' environmental performance, which can also cut costs and enhance the customer experience.
Our strategy
In January 2008, Restaurant Associates* and Environmental Defense Fund partnered to develop and test a comprehensive set of cost-effective Green Dining Best Practices to help dining managers green their food and facilities. With the help of consulting firms SustainAbility and ERM, the team identified science-based best practices with the most significant environmental results and piloted those practices at two of Restaurant Associates' client locations in New York City: Hearst Corporation and Random House. Over the coming months, Restaurant Associates will continue to implement these best practices at their remaining client facilities, which include over 100 leading corporate, university and cultural institution sites.
The partnership identified best practices that address both environmental and human health concerns associated with food purchasing and dining operations, including:
- Minimizing the use of energy, waste and water in dining facilities;
- Reducing the environmental impact of food production and transport;
- Improving the healthfulness of seafood, meat and produce by reducing the use of antibiotics and other contaminants and
- Promoting sustainable fisheries and farmed seafood operations.
Pilot Phase Results
In addition to developing the Green Dining Best Practices, the partnership achieved early results at two of Restaurant Associates' client locations in New York City – Hearst Corporation and Random House – including:
- Avoiding 275 tons of CO2 emissions each year through improved kitchen energy efficiency and appliance use, including turning off equipment when not in use and unplugging underutilized appliances,
- Reducing waste by over 60 tons each year through the use of reusable dishware and composting of kitchen food waste,
- Increasing the amount of seafood purchased each year from more sustainable sources by 4000 pounds,
- Reducing carbon-intensive red meat purchases each year by over 5,000 pounds and
- Saving over $85,000 per year through improved food purchasing and facility operation.
Following the pilot phase at Hearst and Random House, in June 2009, Restaurant Associates instituted new purchasing and operating policies [PDF] for all client sites that commit them to:
- Implement the green dining best practices in client facilities, with certification of those efforts by a 3rd party standards organization,
- Increase the amount of seafood served from EDF's Seafood Selector "green" list while discontinuing the use of seafood from unsustainable fisheries listed on EDF's "red" list,
- Assist clients in installing "bottleless" water dispensers to mitigate the environmental impact of bottled beverage offerings,
- Reduce facility energy consumption and the carbon footprint of protein offerings by 20% and
- Require all major distributors to participate in EPA's SmartWay Transport Partnership to reduce emissions associated with Restaurant Associates' food transport.
*Restaurant Associates is a subsidiary of Compass Group, the world's leading foodservice provider.
