Do you hear phantom smartphone ringing? Does a blinking light send your pulse through the roof? Do you feel anxious if you go 15 minutes without checking your email? It may be time for an e-tox break. We're not talking about putting your phone down while eating a sandwich. Sometimes you need a dining experience or an afternoon escape sans tweeting or a real vacation in a place where getting online is simply impossible. Here are 10 great spots to unplug.
Green Bank, W.Va.
Home of the Green Bank Telescope and housed within the National Radio Quiet Zone, Green Bank has made it illegal to use your cellphone and Wi-Fi. The reason for this ban dates back to the 1950s, long before cellphones were ever a concern to its founders. Initially, this area was selected because it is naturally sheltered from television and radio signals by the Alleghany Mountains. Since the Green Bank Telescope is a radio telescope, it requires as little interference as possible to receive signals from distant worlds. Due to its lack of radio frequencies, people who suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (negative effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields) often visit. So if you love space or just want a break from your phone, visit Green Bank, where the Green Bank Science Center offers tours, activities, and events under the stars -- all without any interruption.

Isle Royale, Mich.
Isle Royale, found on northern Lake Superior, is a wonderful destination for those looking for sailing, hiking, adventure and phone service that is "limited to one credit card operated satellite phone," according to theNational Park Service. The 3-hour ferry ride to make landfall is a journey in itself, setting visitors up for a place where trees and tents are far more common than tablets and smartphones. If you'd rather a room than a camp site, consider staying at the Rock Harbor Lodge, where numerousreviewers on TripAdvisor.com have noted the lack of not just cell service, but Internet or television service as well.
Rogue 24, Washington, D.C.
"Wow, that dinner was really worth the contract I signed" is not a comment you will often hear unless you are in the Washington, D.C. area. If you are, the person saying it likely just finished a meal atRogue 24, which offers a multicourse dinner menu, stylish décor and a dining contract asking patrons to "refrain from the use of cell phones" in the dining area. While the restaurant receives mixed reviews on Yelp, it does offer a dining experience that allows you to enjoy your dinner in peace. If that sounds like a nice night out, feel free to check out the revisedcontract posted by DC Eater, which also contains a cancellation policy in a very official and legal-looking document.

The Grand Canyon
One of the most popular domestic vacations for families in the United States is the Grand Canyon, ranking just behind Honolulu in aUS News article published this summer. Many will go for the beautiful sites, the numerous adventures, or just the experience of being there. However, if you want to photograph your experience and upload it to Instagram, you'll have to wait. While the south rim gets decent reception, once you move into the canyon itself, there is little to no reception, according toFrommers. Visitors can enter the interior of the canyon by hiking, rafting or taking a mule ride. Once there, spending either the day or the night are both options. Out of 31reviews on TripAdvisor, 29 give the experience 5 stars, so chances are you will enjoy the experience.

Death Valley, Calif.
If wildlife, backpacking and bird watching all sound like exciting activities, check out Death Valley. You'll have little to no contact with the world besides emergency phones. NPS.org definitively states that "cell phones do not work in Death Valley" so unless you have a satellite phone with a data plan, you won't be checking Twitter or your email as long as you're there. Instead, stop at Zabriskie Point, which may look familiar to '80s pop/rock fans; U2 used this as their shooting location for the Joshua Tree album cover. It is also a popular spot for amateur photographers, who enjoy the scenic view of the canyons, mountains and badlands located within the park.

Minus5 Ice Bar, New York City
Minus5 is quickly becoming one of the most popular bars to visit both in Las Vegas and New York City. Just don't say it's a "hot" location; the entire bar and lounge is made of ice. Even the glasses and couches are chiseled out of ice. However, if you want to check in on FourSquare, you better do so outside. Once you enter the building, you are brought into a room where you are given a parka, mittens and a locker for your cellphone. The bar area of Minus5 strictly prohibits any electronics that may emit heat because they can melt the ice. A picture to remember the experience will run you $20 because only an employed photographer is allowed to use a camera.

Shambhala Ranch, Ukiah, Calif.
The term "digital detox," or the decision to take a break from electronics, started entering people's vernacular at the beginning of this decade. From families looking to spend quality time together to workaholics and the tech obsessed, this practice is becoming extremely popular. Some decide to take a break for a week by heading to the well-publicizedShambhala Ranch retreat in Ukiah, which promotes yoga and meditation over "no boss" and "no cell phone." Others opt for a couple nights in a hotel offering a "digital detox package" like the one offered by theRenaissance Hotel in Pittsburgh. No matter which option you choose, exchanging smartphones and laptops for playing cards and board games gives participants a chance to drop off the grid and connect with others face-to-face, not on FaceTime.

Perry's Deli, Chicago, Ill.
If the "no cell phone" signs don't discourage you from using your cellphone within one of Chicago's most famous sandwich shops, Perry's Deli, perhaps the alarm will. If you happen to be caught on your cellphone within the restaurant,a siren will go off , alerting all other patrons that you're the one breaking the no cellphone rule. It would seem that visitors are taking the ban seriously, because, according to Yelp's reviews, you don't see many people on their phone. So while you technically can receive a signal while having your sandwich, why would you want to risk the humiliation?

Enchantment Resort, Sedona, Ariz.
The Enchantment Resort is one of the highest-rated hotels in Sedona, offering guests breathtaking views, a luxurious spa, beautiful hotel rooms, great dining experiences and an extremely limited cellphone signal, if any at all. Based on the TripAdvisor.com reviews, guests either enjoy or despise the lack of cell coverage, and comment that even the Wi-Fi offered just doesn't cut it. The same can be said for much of Sedona, where reception and data coverage are spotty at best. So if the Enchantment Resort doesn't sound like your idea of a perfect getaway, get in touch with or research other hotels and activities in the area; they, too, will likely offer a break from your phone for a while.

Westminster Presbyterian Church, Burbank, Calif.
In case you already did not know that you should not be using your phone during religious gatherings, the Westminster Presbyterian Church has made it extremely clear. A hilariousYouTube video has gone viral, featuring the church's cellphone policy. If a patron's phone goes off during announcements, it's a $25 fine. During prayer concerns, get ready to dole out an extra $50. Above all else, you should absolutely make sure your phone is off during the sermon, or else you will face consequences not seen yet on our list. If you are using your phone during the service, be prepared for spontaneous combustion and a trip to hell. This makes the siren at Perry's Deli look like a minor inconvenience. While the video is clearly satire, it serves as a reminder that an hour break from your phone isn't a lot to ask.

AYER — A 35-year-old Lunenburg man, recently released from jail on a breaking-and-entering conviction, is back behind bars after Townsend police say he kicked in the door to an Emery Road home, frightening the homeowner.
In Ayer District Court Wednesday, Christopher Romano pleaded not guilty to breaking and entering in the daytime and vandalizing property.
Prosecutor Tommy Noda said that at 3:13 p.m. on Tuesday, Townsend police responded to an Emery Road address for a breaking and entering. The victim, who was home at the time of the incident, said the suspect kicked in the door to the house and then fled after realizing the resident was home.
The suspect fled in the direction of Lunenburg driving a Ford Taurus. The homeowner later identified Romano, though the homeowner did not know him.
Noda described Romano as a "danger to the community," asking that Romano's bail be revoked on a case in Fitchburg District Court and set $2,500 cash bail in the new case.
Defense attorney Dudley Goar asked that Romano's bail not be revoked on the Fitchburg case and sought $500 cash bail in the new case. Goar explained that since his release on the past breaking-and-entering case, Romano has worked on and off with his father. Romano lives with his wife and two children in his parents' house, he said.
Judge Marc Sullivan ordered that Romano's bail in the Fitchburg District Court case revoked — holding him without bail — and set bail on the new case at $2,500. If Romano should be released, Romano must stay away from the victim.
Romano is scheduled for a pretrial conference on Dec. 8.

Chef Carrie needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 185 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Mixx Cuisine
I am a personal chef. People hire me to come cook in their homes for special events, when they rent a ski house and want to stay in, cooking classes or a weekly custom meal plan.
I prefer the California-style cuisine with a flair of Spanish or Asian. But I don't want the logo to look like I only do chinese food and lose potential business.
I was a professional chef and work in some popular place in San Francisco. I was even lucky enough to cater a Hollywood crew party for the Matrix 2 and 3 crew. What a night!
I am starting this new business on my own and hope to get a strong following and maybe have enough to open a small restaurant one day.
I cook because I LOVE food and I love pleasing people with a great meal! Their smiles at the end of the night is all I need to keep me going.
My audience is 35 - 65 years old. Upper middle class. (Starting income of $80,000 plus) In the summers, my audience is Double income no kids and fun hip well to do singles that love to throw a nice wine dinner party or a sushi making class. In the winters, my market are people who rent vacation homes in the ski resorts and want to hire a chef to cook at the home instead of getting a reservation every night. I also have a local market that have me cook for their holiday parties.
My audience knows good wine and good food.
In short, they pick a menu and I come in to cook, serve and clean after myself.
I need a logo & business card that will make an impression. It will be on my business card, website, and will need to look great on a chef jacket and my menus.
Colors: I naturally love fall colors. Burgundy, Deep Red, Rust Orange, Bronze, Sage Green. I am open to other suggestions. But absolutely no pastels or bright neon colors.
I want the logo to look good on white as well as a burgundy or reddish brown background. My chef jackets are white or black, depending on the time of year and party.
The company name is Mixx Cuisine. Mixx doesn't really mean anything. To me Mixx cuisine means that I cook a fusion of mixx international foods. A mixx of good food, friends and wine = a great party!
You can focus on Mixx alone if it helps with the creativity but then a tag underneath needs to say "Cuisine by Carrie". Or if you can make "Mixx Cuisine" look great together. You are the talent. Surprise me! I am looking forward to finding a great logo.
Think NYC or LA.
No cute animation please!

The TIE Interceptor ™ Expansion Pack is coming soon!
Part of the second wave of single-fighter expansions for X-Wing ™, the TIE Interceptor Expansion Pack presents Imperial players a chance to get their hands on one of the galaxy's finest mass-produced starfighters. It also provides them the opportunity to build their squadrons around some of the Empire's greatest pilots. The expansion comes with six Ship cards that introduce Soontir Fel and two other unique aces from the renowned Saber Squadron.
Saber Squadron
Led by Baron Soontir Fel, the elite pilots of Saber Squadron are among the Empire's best. During the Battle of Endor, their 181st Imperial Fighter Group was stationed aboard the second Death Star and assigned to the defense of the Star Destroyer Avenger , a task they carried out successfully, despite the Empire's loss in the battle.
In X-Wing, the members of the Saber Squadron are every bit as talented and daring as one would expect, able to coax the utmost out of their TIE interceptors. With its boost ( ) action and superior maneuverability, the TIE interceptor excels at dogfighting, and pilots like Soontir Fel and Turr Phennir know how to make the starfighter sing in battle.
Soontir Fel's unique ability allows him to gain a free focus token anytime he receives a stress token. This drastically mitigates the negative consequences of such daring maneuvers as the Koiogran Turn, which the nimble fighter can make even at speed "5." It also allows Soontir Fel to make excellent use of the expansion's upgrade card, Elusiveness . Soontir Fel's high skill means that he'll usually fire early in the round, and then when his ship has no stress token, he can make use of his Elusiveness to both force his opponent to reroll an attack die and gain a focus token when he takes the stress token. In this way, he can use one focus on attack and another on defense, or he may be able to gain multiple focus tokens to help him survive a Rebel onslaught.
Meanwhile, Turr Phennir is the first pilot in the game to gain the ability to move after he fires. His game text reads, "After you perform an attack, you may perform a free boost or barrel roll action." As with Soontir Fel, Turr Phennir's high skill should allow him to fire early in each round of combat. This means you can theoretically race straight at an opposing fighter to unload an attack at close range, then trigger his unique game effect to roll or dart out of his opponent's firing arc.
Focus on Firepower
When Seiner Fleet Systems designed the TIE interceptor, they equipped it with four wing-mounted laser cannons that easily allow it to outgun its predecessors. Accordingly, each TIE interceptor moves up from the TIE fighter's attack of "2" to a deadlier attack value of "3." The difference can be dramatic, especially when you're able to concentrate multiple attacks on a starfighter with lower agility, like a Y-wing, and the squad list below emphasizes the concentration of firepower that the skilled pilots of the Saber Squadron can bring to the deadly dogfights of X-Wing .
Soontir Fel (27)
Elusiveness (2)
Stealth Device (3)
Turr Phennir (25)
Swarm Tactics (2)
"Fel's Wrath" (23)
Alpha Squadron Pilot (18)
Total Squad Points (100)
This list focuses on the concentration of firepower available to a squad built from four TIE Interceptor Expansion Packs, along with an upgrade from the upcoming Slave I ™ Expansion Pack.
With his Elusiveness and Stealth Device, Soontir Fel can dart in and around enemy fighters to fire at close range. Because the TIE interceptor's dial features a healthy selection of green maneuvers, Soontir Fel can set a course straight at an enemy fighter, use his action to evade, fire, and then take a stress token with Elusiveness to force an enemy to reroll a ( ) or ( ) result. Simultaneously, the use of Elusiveness grants Soontir Fel a focus token, which he can then use to turn his ( ) results into ( ) results. With four agility, a ( ) result in hand, and a focus token each turn, Soontir Fel has the potential to duck through enemy fire unscathed, even as he destroys opposing fighters.
Meanwhile, Turr Phennir is equipped with Swarm Tactics to lead the less skilled Alpha Squadron Pilot – or even "Fel's Wrath" – to fire earlier each round. Then he should use his ability to take a free boost or barrel roll action in order to slip out of any nearby enemy's firing arc.
While the TIE interceptor is an agile starfighter and can evade a good deal of incoming fire, this squad is built around aggressive attacks. It wants to rush at enemies and make use of its strong attack values, firing at Range 1 whenever possible in order to gain the extra attack die. Of course, a strategy built around attacking at close range risks the chance that it will be attacked at close range. "Fel's Wrath" fits into the build for this reason; his game effect allows him to take one last parting shot if ever he would be destroyed before his chance to fire.
Earn Your Stripes
The TIE Interceptor Expansion Pack opens daring, new attack-focused strategies for Imperial players. When it becomes available, will you seize the opportunity to command the elite pilots of the Saber Squadron? Will you field your own TIE interceptor and attempt to earn the coveted red stripes assigned to those pilots with ten confirmed kills?
Keep your eyes open for more information about the TIE Interceptor Expansion Pack and other X-Wing news as we get ready for the second wave of X-Wing expansions to arrive at retailers everywhere.
Coming next? A look at the Rebel's A-Wing ™ Expansion Pack!
X-Wing is a tactical ship-to-ship combat game in whi ch players take control of powerful rebel X-wings and nimble Imperial TIE Fighters, facing them against each other in fast-paced space combat.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for November 2009.
So I went to look at some studio spaces in Bridgeport neighborhood last night with a friend who is interested in teaming up to split costs. The area is great, old industry, converted to modern small-scale manufacturing.
The building I was looking at is part of the Chicago Sustainable Manufacturing Center, otherwise known as Bubbly Dynamics owned by John Edel. I've been acquainted with him for some time, and remember when the building was just taking its baby steps toward renovation. It was a mess, really, full of timber, old windows, junk and other people's storage (John's a nice guy like that). I haven't been there in almost 2 years, and when I rolled up on my bicycle, I didn't recognize the place!
The road had been paved, the factory across the street was razed. There was a sidewalk and curb cuts, and TREES. Wow. What a difference. Chicago really did some work over there. That makes me glad. Then, inside the building was another impressive sight. John had transformed this building into a gorgeous glowing example of economy and sustainability, married with fantastic design and beauty.
The walls that I'd been previously impressed with the fact that they had been sheet rocked finally, were now real solid walls, painted, trimmed with art on them. Oh! The big lobby sign was great too! The windows and doors and all the little things: finished and sealed concrete floors, HEAT!, some nice ficus in the hallways, lovely hand made railings on the stairs. So lovely.
As we toured the building, John pointed out how all the materials were salvaged, or donated. This door was pulled out of a junk yard, this railing was old brewery pipe, this glass block wall was reconstructed from block that was taken out of somewhere else in the building, this expensive Italian tile in the restroom was left behind by a contractor. Yay! For freebies.
We saw two different available spaces in the Center. One on the second floor, with nice windows. Not much of a view, but what can you really ask for in the manufacturing district? (Also, it smelled like cinnamon the whole time we were there. The Factory down the road, makes every kind of off-brand "Pop-Tart" sold in the US.) This space was just about 600 square feet. More than adequate for my needs, but I was going to team up with Chuck, so we went to the basement to see the larger space, but not before we went up to the roof.
A few years ago, I had gone to Bubbly and helped plant the roof top garden. John's daughter's face had been pixelized and mapped out with plant colors, and we were planting a picture of her. It didn't look like much then, but now, wow! I can't wait to Google Maps updates their satellite photos! Its very clearly a child's face on the roof, in plants!
Then down to the basement, we saw an 1100 square foot space. Holy cow, it was SO BIG. It was empty and that made it feel even bigger. My voice echoed and to tell you the truth, I was a little intimidated by the vat openness of it. Agoraphobia, just a smidgen. Chuck liked that space. He likes to spread out and says he has done his best work in basements. :)
Now I'm rolling around the numbers in my head, thinking about what I'd have to do to get into that space. Sheesh. I'd have to get the capital funds to start up the business. Then, I'd have to move all my equipment in, which would be ok because there's a freight elevator and loading dock. Then, I'd have to get all my stuff up from Saint Louis that's still sitting over there. ugh. Then there's planning to bring in enough money to pay rent in 2 spaces one to live one to work. Thankfully, the utilities are included at Bubbly.
The other tenants we met seemed excited to have printing in the building. Two are screen printing artists, and a few are people I know from the O.G. Chicago bicycle scene. It seems like an ideal space to work from, collaborate within and maybe become a real participating part of something meaningful and sustainable.
The only problem now, is the funding. And the fact that if I have the space, I now NEED a Vandercook. Dang.

You did good, New Orleans
The people of New Orleans successfully inoculated themselves from Ebola. Normally Ebola cannot resist the Super Bowl. It spreads its sh-t all over the event, all weekend, an unstoppable viral contagion that decimates everything in its path. Last year Arizona was victimised by its disease. This year, it could have been New Orleans. But it was once friends with Kim Kardashian. They broke up and ironically enough, due to Kardashian's relationship with Reggie Bush, Ebola did not want to associate, and New Orleans wasn't inviting either. New Orleans did what it needed to do, a city rising from the floods of Katrina, resilient and rebounding, they cockblocked that mother-cker, and that piece of sh-t stayed away.
Instead, it's now in Paris with the boyfriend, Ryan Reynolds. Well, not really Ryan Reynolds, but he looks it, non? Same bland beefcake pretty face, same foundation skin, same contrived I'm not posing but I am really posing posing. I have not committed his name to memory. You do not need to remind me.
Now if only Paris the city could be as astute as New Orleans. There should be a world ban on this human wart. Send it scurrying into a hole and never let it out again.

Tommy Toilet is a character created by my all-time favorite underground cartoonist R. Crumb (so are the snoids for that matter). I put him in my hack as an homage to a great artist. So yea, Tommy basically got mixed up with the wrong crowd.

Funny Koko should mention Cockules as a youth, because i have a backstory for him in which he was childhood friends with Jooz. At one time i considered hacking tiny toons or something like that and putting in baby Cockules and baby Jooz.

|Tommy Toilet is pure evil. I mean, he eats poopies. If I ate poopies, something would be wrong with me. If anyone has a sad tale to tell, it's Cockulese. He was raised by the wrong side of the family. A troubled youth taken to evil because he had no choice and a cock for a face. If things turned out differently, you could be playing as him fighting butt babies. I'll wait a moment for that to stop blowing your mind.
|Mar 10th, 2009 06:02 AM
LMAO @ "Don't forget to wipe your ass, folks!"
I don't think Tommy Toilet is really a bad guy so much as he's mixed up with a shitty crowd.
|Mar 10th, 2009 05:50 AM
|And on that note, we now return you to the topic at hand... a classy rom hack known as "Abnormal Family: Butt Babies & Tranny Tramps."
|Mar 10th, 2009 05:20 AM
|You actually never know. Mario 2 (jew fighter) was my first real bad hack. And I have 4 other ones, so you just never know.
|Mar 10th, 2009 03:22 AM
Oh, scrod. I know those testicles.
Mario 2 hack off the port bow, captain. Shields up, weapons online.
|Mar 10th, 2009 01:52 AM
Ohhh...I'm excited. I have sent about 4 in so even I don't know! And yeah, Jomb is defenitely an inspiration. If one day I could be considered little Jomb or maybe Jomb's wang, it'd be an honor.
|Mar 9th, 2009 10:14 PM
|koko nuts!
|Mar 9th, 2009 10:12 PM
|Judging by his avatar, I'm sure it's going to be.... interesting.
|Mar 9th, 2009 09:57 PM
|k0k0, I know you're another rom hacker and we received your submission not too long ago. We're definitely going to be reviewing it in the future. I'm not gonna say what it is here or anything more about it because I don't want to spoil the surprise for people, but thanks for sending it in. Looks like Jomb and the other crazy hackers out there really inspired you.
|Mar 9th, 2009 09:35 PM
|I can vouch for Jomb being Jomb. Of course you'll probably think that I am him creating another account, but I am another rom hacker who knows Jomb from another forum and that was indeed him. He's a super terrific guy.
|Mar 8th, 2009 08:32 AM
|I dunno, these always seemed to perfect to be real. I have my doubts about the authenticity, and could easily see I-Mockery people making them. In any case, pretty silly.
|Mar 8th, 2009 03:38 AM
My god, he exists.
I thought Jomb was just a rumor - a myth, a story told to scare children with tales of ROM hacks of such utter depravity as to boggle the mind. To think that he actually is out there....
God, that's frightening as hell.
|Mar 7th, 2009 05:15 AM
|I'm going to top this one with yet another first i have in the works right now. As far as ROM-hacking goes, it's one of my hobbies and i'll keep at it when i have free time and feel inspired. Whether or not it tops this one is in the eye of the beholder. There are still alot of characters that have stories which need told.
|Mar 6th, 2009 10:35 PM
|Tetsu Deinonychus
|So Jomb, is this your grand finale or is there some other hilariously perverted ROM-hack in the works to top even this one?
|Mar 6th, 2009 03:56 AM
Wow.....that was freakin weird.
These hack reviews are still my favorite things on this site.
|Mar 5th, 2009 06:46 PM
|Well, those are some pretty terrifying clarifications.
|Mar 5th, 2009 06:17 PM
|Just to clarify a few things that were not very apparent. Syphilis Sally is actually a character taken from one of my earlier more obscure hacks. Her projectile is infected menstrual blood. In the Night Voyeur stage of Little Remo, Remo is actually dreaming that he is the Night Voyeur. The hairy orange puddle with the Sex Goddess was intended to be a vagina sliding across the floor that pops open and the Sex Goddess slides up out of.

Confessions of a Neighborhood Watch Captain
George Zimmerman gives neighborhood watch volunteers a bad name. We don't go tracking down unarmed teenagers who are trying to get home to watch a basketball game. We keep tabs on suspicious activities and advise our neighbors about the small things that can prevent them from having their homes burglarized and their cell phones from being stolen on the streets.
With the recent acquittal of former neighborhood-watch volunteer Zimmerman for the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin, I wanted to reflect on my own time serving in the neighborhood watch.

Increased performance using derrick ballast
The use of derrick ballast as the counterweight enables lattice boom cranes to manage vastly higher load capacities. Liebherr develops and manufactures practical derrick ballast systems for a very wide range of applications.
Variable derrick systems
A Liebherr LR 11350 crawler crane moves a column weighing 740 tonnes. The required load capacity is made possible by 510 tonnes of suspended counterweight tray at a radius of 22.5 metres.
The increased counterweight radius with derrick ballast increases the load torque. This enables lattice boom cranes to achieve higher load capacities and greater working radii. The derrick ballast from Liebherr is available in the form of suspended counterweight tray or a ballast wagon.
The infinite radius adjustment makes the systems extremely variable. This means that on almost all models the suspended counterweight tray can be adjusted with the derrick boom without guidance whilst fully loaded. With a guiding frame the ballast wagon and suspended counterweight tray can achieve an even greater radius. This results in even higher load capacities. With a small radius the derrick ballast will adjust perfectly to a constricted working environment. If there is adequate space available, on the other hand, the increased radius enables ballast weights to be saved and higher load capacities to be achieved.
Proven technology focussing on safety
Derrick ballast from Liebherr has been proven in everyday use. The focal point in its development is the safety of the operating personnel. We design a whole range of safety equipment such as railing and access ladders to ensure this.
The ballast wagon for the LR 11000 features a whole host of railings and access ladders to ensure the safety of the operating personnel.
A Liebherr LR 1750 crawler crane with ballast wagon dismantles a motorway bridge. Using the derrick ballast as a counterweight increases load capacity.
To avoid collisions with obstacles the ballast wagon for the LR 1300 SX can be raised or lowered by around 1 metre using a hydraulic cylinder on the derrick head.
The ballast wagon for the LR 1750, shown here in driving position, can also be used on the smaller LR 1600/2. This benefits crane contractors who have both models in their fleet.
Two Liebherr cranes place the roof on the silo at a cement plant in a tandem hoist. The LR 1750 with ballast wagon in the foreground is fitted with 330 tonnes of ballast with a radius of 20 metres.
The 750-tonne LR 1750 is moving prefabricated concrete components. The suspended counterweight tray with hydraulically telescoping guidance increases the counterweight radius.

Kristof on the Drug War
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof cites the Cato report about Decriminalization of Drugs in Portugal by Glenn Greenwald. Here's an excerpt:
Above all, it's time for a rethink of our drug policy. The point is not to surrender to narcotics, but to learn from our approach to both tobacco and alcohol. Over time, we have developed public health strategies that have been quite successful in reducing the harm from smoking and drinking.
If we want to try a public health approach to drugs, we could learn from Portugal. In 2001, it decriminalized the possession of all drugs for personal use. Ordinary drug users can still be required to participate in a treatment program, but they are no longer dispatched to jail.
"Decriminalization has had no adverse effect on drug usage rates in Portugal," notes a report this year from the Cato Institute. It notes that drug use appears to be lower in Portugal than in most other European countries, and that Portuguese public opinion is strongly behind this approach.
A new United Nations study, World Drug Report 2009, commends the Portuguese experiment and urges countries to continue to pursue traffickers while largely avoiding imprisoning users. Instead, it suggests that users, particularly addicts, should get treatment.
Senator Webb has introduced legislation that would create a national commission to investigate criminal justice issues — for such a commission may be the best way to depoliticize the issue and give feckless politicians the cover they need to institute changes.
Good stuff. Read the whole thing.

Are those wedding bells we hear, Upper East Siders? Leighton Meester and Adam Brody have reportedly tied the knot, according to several reports out Tuesday.
Where's Gossip Girl to get the scoop when you need her?
The "Gossip Girl" starlet and "The OC" alum, both of whom starred in Josh Schwartz teen dramas, reportedly married in a super secret wedding less than three months after their engagement made headlines, Us Weekly and E! News reported, confirming the news through their sources.
PHOTOS: Celebrity weddings and engagements of 2014
Few details about the alleged nuptials were immediately available, but Brody, 34, who recently appeared on "New Girl," was spotted at LAX over the weekend posing for a fan photo. However, a band on his ring finger stole the spotlight, People reported. Meester, 27, is in Chicago preparing for "Of Mice and Men," which also stars James Franco and will debut on Broadway in April.
The extremely private pair reportedly got engaged in the fall and proposal reports popped up back in November, though they have yet to officially address the latest developments in their relationship.
The small-screen stars met on the set of their 2011 dramedy, "The Oranges," and are said to have hung out occasionally during shooting. They were first romantically linked in February 2013.
Brody and Meester will also be working together again in the comedy "Life Partners."
Meester was previously linked to Sebastian Stan in 2010 and later to "Joan of Arcadia" actor Aaron Himelstein. Brody previously dated his "OC" costar Rachel Bilson before calling it quits in 2006 and was later linked to "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" director Lorene Scafaria.

Tessellation Exploration!
Grade Level:
Student Level:
High School
What is the difference between a regular tessellation and a semi-pure tessellation? Where does the term tessellation originate, and what is the sum of angles around one vertex in a tessellation of the plane by polygons? Treat your class to an art-filled math experience using museum objects and patterned surfaces to explore different math concepts about tessellations and polygons.
Students are introduced to a mummy case, an Islamic prayer niche, an Escher print, and other works while learning to identify various tessellations using a viewing guide included in the Teacher Information Packet, that accompanies the videoconference.
Program Format:
- Discuss definition of tessellations, and examples students have seen (tiled floors, quilts, etc).
- Define math terminology, such as polygon, regular polygon, and regular tessellation.
- Introduce works from the museum with examples of regular tessellations.
- Students work on math viewing guide throughout the program.
- Discuss regular vs. non-regular tessellations, and look at non-regular examples, including M.C. Escher's work.
- View and discuss examples of semi-regular and demi-regular tessellations.
- Students will learn how different cultures have used math and tessellations in their work.
- Students will learn the difference between the many types of tessellations.
- Students will see how math can be used to create art.

Okay guys, I have more easy lessons coming your way and hopefully you will have fun with this first tutorial on how to draw an easy chibi, step by step. I have so many different types of chibi drawings on the site, and every time I submit a new lesson, it's like I'm adding to the pot. There are so many different styles you can draw a chibi in, and if you notice I kind of played with the drawing style with this easy chibi character I drew yesterday. Instead of having nub like hands and feet, I chose to give her some fingers, and small feet like the characters in the animated series Fairly Odd Parents. The head and face where drawn the same way as I always draw a chibi figure, I thought at least that should stay the same since the very characteristics of chibi people are almost always the same. Nonetheless, I think you guys should have good fun with this tutorial on how to draw an easy chibi. I actually did a lesson a while ago on a simple chibi, and that came out pretty sweet as well. I guess that's it for this description. I will be back soon with some other fun stuff for you guys to draw or learn from. Adios mi amigos, and be sure to enjoy your drawing day.

text: Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Alabama Hunters Recognized for Largest Gators Alabama Hunters Recognized for Largest Gators The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) recently recognized four hunters for harvesting the largest alligators during the recent hunting season. The recognition is based on the weight and length of the harvested alligators as well as the hunting zones. A total of 250 tags were issued in three hunting zones this year and 158 were filled.Keith Fancher of Shelby, Ala., was recognized for harvesting the largest alligator in the west central zone, which is also the largest harvested since the regulated hunts began in 2006. His 838-pound alligator was 14 feet, 2 inches long. This zone, which was just opened to alligator hunting this year, includes Dallas, Wilcox and a portion of Monroe County.Two hunters tied for the largest alligator taken in the southeast zone. Both Jonathan Perkins of Collinsville, Ala., and Jeffery Scott Mann of Smiths, Ala., took gators that weighed 650 pounds and were 12 feet, 4 inches long. The southeast zone includes Barbour, Coffee, Covington, Dale, Geneva, Henry, Houston and Russell counties.John King of Spanish Fort, Ala., harvested a 12-foot, 7-inch alligator that weighed 593 pounds. His alligator was the largest taken in the southwest zone, which includes Mobile and Baldwin counties. Restoration of the American alligator is a national conservation success story in which Alabama played a lead role. Unregulated alligator harvest throughout the South in the 1920s, ҆30s and ҆40s threatened the species with extinction. In 1938, Alabama took action and became the first state to protect them. Other states followed suit and in 1967, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service placed the American alligator on the Endangered Species List. Two decades of protection enabled the species to rebound. By 1987, it was removed from the Endangered Species List but retained as a federally protected species. Alabama's alligator population has grown to the extent that they pose a nuisance in many areas. Implementing a regulated alligator hunt on a small scale is an important step toward controlling populations and better managing this unique reptile. The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Parks, State Lands, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

The Medical Humanities: Where to Submit
Healthcare can unfortunately be a spirit-draining endeavor. I started writing non-fiction narrative pieces as an outlet early on in my career.
Writing narrative non-fiction was startlingly therapeutic for me, and eventually lead to writing poetry. And that lead to writing fiction.
So I owe a lot to the medical humanities.
If you ever write poetry, fiction, or narrative non-fiction that explores the human condition or the intersection between medicine and life, here is a list of places that might accept your submissions.
For most of these, you don't need to be a doctor or be working in the healthcare environment to submit. Many of these journals also accept photography and artwork, along with poetry, fiction, and narrative non-fiction.
Consider it. The world would be a better place if everyone could share your stories!

Lydia, this is great! You know, I wrote an article on the health benefits of laughter and it was published in a teen girl magazine.

We have uncovered an interesting development since publishing our previous article about Martin Odersky's claim that Scala is "foremost an industrial language". Apparently, Martin Odersky stated at Scala Days 2010 that he intends to create a startup offering commercial Scala support. He also mentioned it in a comment here. Needless to say, this would be a huge step forwards for Scala!
As an interesting aside, the Scala in the Enterprise web page lists some industrial users of Scala including Électricité de France Trading, Twitter, Xebia, Xerox, FourSquare, Sony, Siemans, GridGain, AppJet, Reaktor, Nature, Managed Gaming Solutions, Tiental, Sygneca, AD Holdings, SAIC, Mimesis Republic and WattzOn.

Kalundborg Winter Marathon 2010
I figured I could pretty easily run a PR today. I knew the route and felt good despite 3-4 hours of sleep (I don't know why I still get so nervous before races). But the wind and the colder temperatures than last year changed the story a bit. SR was also running the marathon this year. He had run the half last year with the baby jogger. Thank God there was no baby jogger involved this year.
At the start line, I saw Britta Karlsson, who had handily beat me in the Albertslund 6 hour run this past fall. I now figured I wouldn't win or PR, but I was just so excited to run.
The run started out in snow and then went out onto roads.
There are a bunch of steep hills at the beginning, but the wind wasn't too bad yet. I kept an even 7:45 minute/mile pace and was just trying to keep myself from running faster. I ran with a bunch of guys and could not see any females behind me. Strangely, I could see SR ahead of me for about the first 6km. Man, he was starting out slowly!
At about 9 km, we took a turn down a deserted road towards the ocean and the wind was so strong that people we nearly being knocked down (okay, mostly me). It was like when you try to run in a dream but you can't move. It was so beautiful with the huge whitecaps on the dark ocean and the horses on the farms with their manes blowing in the wind. I pretended it was my first moment on Earth and that I'd never known anything but the feeling of running as fast as I could into a headwind. Soon we turned a corner, and the wind came off the ocean from the side, but it became even harder to run. I found a group of guys to run behind and things got a little easier. Soon we were out of the really windy section and I talked with the other runners around me. I ran for a while with a guy who had run 30 marathons last year.
At about 13 km, I was running at my comfortable 7:45 min/mile again. I love having the Garmin on. And I stopped for hot chocolate at an aid station. I will just comment that hot chocolate is a great sports drink for winter. Calories, electrolytes, warmth...
I came through the first half marathon in 1:43, thus winning the women's half marathon! The woman who came in right behind me was sprinting to beat me, but little did she know I was doing the full marathon and she'd get her prize money after all.
Now I just needed to do the whole thing again. Sadly, the wind hadn't let up and my legs were tired of battling it. I ran the first half of the second half marathon in a hour!! I was more than a little disappointed. But once I got out of the wind again, um, I got a second wind, no I won't say that. I'll just say, I felt much better. The people on the sidelines were really cheering me on. I was glad they knew I was first woman (and that I wasn't mistaken about my place). I then realized on was on pace for a PR. I kept my pace at about 8 min/mile and had some good music on (Thanks, Cliff!!). My comfortable marathon running pace has definitely gotten faster. The last part of the race is on snow trails though a wooded area. Man, was I excited. I came in at 3:37, beating my previous PR by two minutes (on the same course last year and at the 6 hour run).
After talking with a few people afterwards, it seems we should subtract about 20 minutes from our time today to compare it to a warmer, flatter, less windy race. Fun to think of running a 3:17! All I can say is the intervals and tempo training the last two months have really helped. Plus I ate a ton yesterday and I think that helped, too.
Britta also ran a great race and came in just 9 minutes behind me. It is hard to say if I have become faster or if it was the race today was just a completely different type of race than the 6 hour race in October.
SR also had a great race with a time of 3:02, also a PR for him (we don't tend to run normal marathons), and he came in second. It was also his birthday yesterday, so it was a good little belated present. He apparently passed the whole field of top men in the last 10 km. He was beaten by Ole Karlsen, a famous runner in Denmark, affectionately known as Ultra Ole.
It was an awesome experience and I would recommend this race to anyone who wants a winter running challenge.
Here is one happy couple.
Hey, and the winner gets 400 kroner (that's about $80) and second gets 200 kroner.
I am ashamed to admit that my favorite running song of the day:
Watcha Say by Jason Derulo (I hate the way he samples Imogen Heap. I hope Imogen Heap got some good consolation for it. But I just LOVED running to it)
SR's running song of the Day: Run by Leona Lewis

Great time, especially in the winter! I got the CDs and thank you so much! It's a great variety of music and I love hearing what bands in other countries are up to. I am planning on sending you two - my "top 10 end of race songs" and my "top 10 most inappropriate running song" (get ready).

Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Polyorchis sp
Animal Type
bell to about 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) in diameter
hydroids, siphonophores, hydrocorals; Phylum: Cnidaria; Class: Hydrozoa
nearshore waters of bays and harbors along the Pacific Coast
Natural History
The bell jelly is not a true jelly but rather a hydromedusa. Usually smaller than true jellies and not nearly as colorful, a bell jelly has a translucent bell and a clapper-shaped mouth stalk.
Bell jellies also have 100 or more wispy tentacles, and red ocelli, or eyespots, which are sensitive to light. Bell jellies are probably vertical migrators—they remain in dark, deep waters during the day and come to the surface at night.
A bell jelly spends about half its time near the seafloor, where it feeds on small benthic (bottom-dwelling) creatures. Bell jellies often "hop" up from the seafloor; this movement may stir up sediments, uncovering potential food. They also swim to the surface and sink back down to the seafloor, a process that lets them collect plankton as they drift.
Bell jelly populations are dwindling, possibly due to dredging, pollution and collection for neurobiological research.
Bell jellies used to be abundant in bays and estuaries along the West Coast. But their nearshore seafloor homes have been disturbed by dredging, urbanization and pollution runoff. Jelly populations, especially hydromedusae, are declining in heavily impacted coastal areas. To understand the causes of population increases and decreases, we must know more about the life cycles of these animals.
Cool Facts
Bell jellies respond to bright lights at night (such as camera flashes) and quickly swim away.
Since their red coloration disappears in deep water where light is low, bell jellies are virtually invisible to deep sea predators.

NY Ranks Among Top 5 States for Kids' Health
New York ranks among the top five states for children's health, according to the 25th edition of the Kids Count Data Book released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
The report released Tuesday looks at data from 1990 that show the major trends in child well-being, and recent trends that compare data from 2005 to 2012.
New York showed improvement in all eight categories of health and education for children.
The number of children who didn't graduate from high school in four years decreased from 33 percent in 1990 to 22 percent in 2012. The number of teen births decreased, and the number of children in high-poverty areas remained stable at 17 percent.
The number of children in single parent families increased by 24 percent from 1990 to 2012.

ON THE ROAD: Many a Californian grew up with a View-Master, like many a kid in other states did. Did you have one? Yep, as we thought. But children of the Golden State could peer into those two little windows and know there was a real possibility that a weekend family road trip or a school outing might lead them to Half Dome or El Capitan or the tallest trees on the planet. We live among treasures in California, including some of the most famous national parks in a system that brims with parks that are household words. What are some of California's stars? Well, Joshua Tree, of course, and Death Valley, the redwoods, the sequoias, and Yosemite all ring bells for many a traveler. And while we're encouraged to get out and enjoy them any and every day of the year -- the colder, quieter months are especially nice and semi-painless with traffic -- we all should seize a certain few days in late April. That's when National Park Week arrives, and five full days of skipping the entrance fees to the parks that usually charge admission. The free days are April 22 through 26.
WHAT ELSE TO KNOW... Over half the national parks -- 268 out of 401 -- do not charge a get-in fee, regardless of the day or time of year. Some do, like Yosemite. And annual passes always help alleviate some of the fees (not to mention they help the parks). If you find yourself returning time and again to, say, the Channel Islands, maybe this National Park Week is the moment you set out for something new. After all, View-Master-worthy sights are really just a few hours away, or less, for most Californians. And to access them without admission? That's awesome, indeed.
