July 1 2015 Gdansk
SOLIDEA Group PowerCan team have handed over the New PowerCan at the SOLIDEA RUMIA Gas Motorworks in the Gdansk Ship Yards in Poland.
The New PowerCan [right] seen here with the PowerCan 200 [left] is an Updraft Gasifier. "Whilst it comes as some surprise to the Industry Up draft Gasification provides more benefit to the development of the industry than Down draft Gasification" says SOLIDEA Groups Steve Walker. "Since we cured the tar problem with our GATO [GlidArc Tar Oxidizer] we needed to go a stage further and reduce the particulates. Since Updraft is more tolerant of lesser feedstock it was time to change
Turning The Gasification Industry On Its Head
Down draft technology has dominated the gasification industry since after the second world war and most project developers have carried on with the development of Down draft since. Not surprising, since Down draft gasification is most notable for lower tars and as it has been tars that have dogged the gasification industry for decades. Continue reading

Software for Manufacturing
Constructing a Visible Supply Chain
Today's supply-chain managers need a supply chain that is visible, allowing them to know the location and status of all physical components, from raw materials to finished goods, as they move from suppliers through the stages of production to delivery to customers.
Most supply-chain information is managed in a combination of a company enterprise-resource-planning (ERP) system and specialized software for supply-chain management. To make these technologies work in a visible supply-chain environment, key technologies must be added to the mix: dashboards and other tools that can track materials and product flow in the supply chain, and information access and business-intelligence tools for analysis.
Modern dashboard technology applied to a visible supply chain gives production and distribution resource managers the ability to see numerically and graphically what is happening in their areas. A dashboard is a collection of different reports, all in one page or view, that contains high-level summary information rather than detail transactions. In a properly visible environment, managers, via dashboards, can see their own data as well as data from other processes that affect their work. In either case, dashboard users can drill down to find the root causes of the behavior of monitored resources.
Updated information from properly functioning intra-enterprise ERP and supply-chain systems often is available in real time or within one day. Data must be available on the managers' dashboards whenever needed. If not available in real time, the most recent data points must be available.
Business-intelligence (BI) tools can provide analysis of supply-chain processes and resources. That may include information as basic as performance volumes or costs measured against planned performance metrics, but it also may involve such subtleties as recalculating the resource relationships in the production equations used in manufacturing. Some BI tools can extrapolate from available data estimates of information that is missing or not available in a timely .
Whatever information is available on a
particular supply-chain dashboard is fair game for analysis using BI
tools. Those tools will take on greater value if the data is sifted
into its proper contextual role. For example, a dashboard panel that
shows tracking data for all components used in all products is useful,
but it does not help a manager view and analyze the manufacturing
economics and requirements for a particular product. A dashboard
containing information for materials and production data for that
product will be more useful in providing visibility and analysis.
Develop a Strategy
Creating a visible supply chain includes a project strategy as well as the people who will work with the system when it is implemented. The strategy must begin with an assessment of the information and analysis systems that are in place for your supply chain. You have to determine whether they will be adequate to the job and what will have to be added to build them into useful components of a visible supply chain system.
The people who will work with the system should determine system requirements and what parts of existing systems can be used to meet them. Among the specifications that must be mapped out are which portions of the supply chain need most critically to be visible, which managers deal with those segments and which colleague managers need access to those parts of the supply chain. System architects also must determine for each supply-chain segment the data elements to be displayed on dashboards graphically and what types of graphics will be displayed. BI tools and techniques must be specified for each supply-chain element.
The team must agree on the nature of the decision-making process for the supply-chain elements. It must determine the measures of success it will use to indicate when the visible-supply-chain project is complete and ready to be used, and how to improve the system on a continuous basis following implementation.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Kansas State coach Bill Snyder still believes the Big 12 should ultimately expand to at least 12 teams, creating two divisions and a conference championship game.
Snyder said Tuesday that "there are a number of programs in our conference who have and would profit from that type of system," pointing out that teams with multiple losses would generate more interest late in the season by still having a chance to play for a championship.
"You walk out here and you walk through the lobby and you see a trophy case here, and if we didn't have divisions that would probably be a single trophy case," Snyder said. "We had a chance to play for division championships, and then conference championships, and that was positive."
The 73-year-old Snyder has seen the Big 12 go through a dramatic series of changes since he took over the once-downtrodden Kansas State program in the late 1980s. When the old Southwest Conference disintegrated, the Big Eight expanded by four teams to become the Big 12, and played a conference title game every year from 1996-2010.
The game has cut both ways for the Wildcats: They were in position to play for a national championship in 1998 before losing to Texas A&M in double-overtime, but managed to win the Big 12 title and earn a Fiesta Bowl berth in 2003 by upsetting then-No. 1 Oklahoma.
The league has undergone even more change the past couple of years, with longtime member Colorado leaving for the Pac-12 and Nebraska heading to the Big Ten, and with Missouri and Texas A&M joining the Southeastern Conference beginning this season.
The league picked up West Virginia and TCU to remain at 10 teams, and locked up broadcast rights to stabilize a league not long ago on the brink of extinction.
The conference realignment merry-go-round has been spinning again in recent weeks. Maryland is leaving the ACC and Rutgers the Big East to establish a 14-team Big Ten, while Tulane announced Tuesday it would join the Big East, with East Carolina joining as a football-only member.
That's left the Big 12 in a precarious position: Stand pat with 10 teams or expand to 12 or more, thereby re-establishing its lucrative conference championship game.
"You look at the North Division," Snyder said, referring to the old six-team division of the Big 12. "I would suggest there are probably four schools that profited by that system. It gave teams opportunities. When I first came back, we were 6-6, not a very good team, but the last game of the season we were playing for a division championship. That has some meaning."
Provides some drama, too.
Rather than playing a single winner-take-all game on Saturday, two games will be played with title implications: TCU plays No. 12 Oklahoma early in the day before the Wildcats finish up the regular season against No. 23 Texas at night.
TCU can essentially make Kansas State's game irrelevant by beating the Sooners, because the Wildcats would be assured of at least a share of the title and, through tiebreakers, the league's automatic BCS bowl berth. And if the Sooners and Wildcats both win, they'll share the trophy.
"I don't know that K-State's game is irrelevant. That's a bit strong," Kansas State athletic director John Currie told The Associated Press. "I mean, it matters from a national ranking standpoint, from an individual award standpoint. It's certainly going to matter to the 50,000 people out here, and the University of Texas, where their season is and where it can go.
"I don't disagree that you can make an argument against that, but the bottom line is we have four teams playing Saturday, in two different games, that determines the conference race."
Currie said the Big 12's athletic directors regularly discuss the merits of expanding to 12 or more teams, but at the moment, league officials appear content to remain at 10.
"Certainly coach Snyder has been up front with his perspective, and I don't disagree with his perspective, and we talk about those types of opportunities," he said. "Right now, I believe we continue to discuss the landscape of the league and see where it goes."
Currie said there are undeniable benefits to having fewer teams: more opportunities to play on television, fewer ways to split revenue, and a deeper conference from top to bottom.
The Big 12 already has nine schools that are bowl eligible.
"It's a tough deal, but our fans, what have they seen? Everybody in the Big 12 can beat everybody, and that's not the case in other conferences, where there are games that are just completely non-competitive," Curry said. "There's no weak sister in the Big 12. Everybody is really good. And who wins at the end for that? Our fans and our television partners."

That diorama unveiled a couple of days ago has night lighting too thanks to light emitting diodes and fiber optic strands. Yes, that is the Big and Little Dippers in the sky (bright star is Polaris). Now I know that in the Southern Hemisphere, you'd be seeing the Southern Cross – but I wanted a constellation in my miniature sky that the kids could look outside and see for real (Sometimes I have to relax the 'authenticity rules' on personal projects). Apologies for the blurry/grainy effect on the shots – hard to take good pics with such low light…

Here's that diorama I gave the preview of a while ago. A tropical island scene built into a bookshelf. The ship was my first wooden model, after 31 years of building and scratch building plastic kits, and it was the hardest one to date! So, I wanted to make a worthwhile case for it. Details abound, look for gulls on the shore, bird poop on the rocks in the background and palm trees with trunks of wire and glue-soaked tissue paper, painted brown and topped with some kit-supplied' leaves. The rocks are from sample collected over the years during trips to the beach with the kids… Speaking of kids, I put a dog, cat and bunny in there that I reposition occasionally to constantly keep them on the 'search'.

Sand Filter Basics - Sand filters are among the oldest form of water filtration dating back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptian writings documented the practices of purifying water by filtering it through sand. This process has remained a cornerstone in water filtration even today. Sand filters are simple, effective, and require very little attention.
How A Sand Filter Works - In swimming pools, water is pumped into a large tank that is filled with #20 Silica sand. As the water enters the top, a diffuser sprays the water out evenly across the top of the sand bed, ensuring perfect distribution.This water settles down through the sand bed entrapping the debris and returns back to the swimming pool filtered.
As the amount of debris, hair, bugs, algae, oils and more increases, the sand starts to become clogged. This restriction is noticeable on the pressure gauge located on the filter tank. The increase in tank pressure indicates the the filter is in need of cleaning or back-washing. The back-washing process rinse the sand of impurities and allows the water to flow freely again. The ease of flow lowers the pressure within the tank and the process starts over again. Keep in mind that the more a sand filter plugs up, the finer the particulates that are captured so its ok to let the pressure climb some, and not backwash too frequently. Normal operating pressure varies by filter but typically it runs between 10-20 psi. When the pressure within the tank increases by about 10 psi or more, back-washing is needed. Allowing too much pressure to build in the tank can damage the pump and possibly the filter tank.
Cleaning The Sand Filter - To clean or back-wash a sand filter, cut the power to the pump and set the control valve to backwash, then turn the pump back on. The filter will now rinse the sand within the filter tank, sending dirty water out the back-wash port. This water can be directed away from lawns, flowers or gardens as it is chlorinated and may cause damage to plant life. This is done simply by using a backwash hose attached to the back-wash port. Continue to backwash for about two minutes or until the water runs clear through the sight glass if equipped. Shut the pump off again and return the control valve to filter mode.
Sand Filter Efficiency - Sand will filter down to about 20 microns. This is small and enough to capture most all impurities in your pool water. Sand filters will becomes clogged and cakes up over time due to the accumulation of oils, lotions hair and other debris. Even with regimented maintenance the sand within the filter tank should be replaced every 3-5 years for best results.
Changing The Sand - To empty or change the sand you disconnect the hoses or PVC piping from the filter tank. Next remove the control from the tank top and begin the manual process of scooping the sand out of the tank. Some pool professionals and pool owners turn the tank on it's side and use a water hose to spray it out of the tank. Once the sand is removed you can replace it with #20 Silica sand in the required amount dictated be the manufacturer. Use care to fill the tank and keep the sand from entering the pipe in the center. Once full of sand, replace the control valve and tighten the band. Reconnect the hoses or piping and you should be set to operate the filter once again.

Students study energy generation and storage in metal oxide films
August 29, 2013
During the summer, Lewis & Clark students continue to work hard in their fields of study. By collaborating with faculty on research projects, students are able to engage their curiosity, expand their learning, and prepare for life after college, all while making meaningful contributions to scholarship.
Keira Roberts '14 and Luciano Santino '14 are working with Assistant Professor of Chemistry Anne Bentley to study the controlled growth of metal oxide electrodes as they relate to energy storage and generation. In the following Q&A, the team members reflect on their experience.
What are you researching? What question or problem are you trying to answer/solve with your research?
Roberts: I am researching the stability of gold nanoparticles with a variety of capping agents under different environmental conditions.
Santino: And I'm working on improving manganese oxide thin films for use as pseudocapacitors.
Does your research have any potential applications in the real world, or will it influence other work in your field?
Roberts: As nanoparticles are used more in consumer products, more nanoparticle waste from manufacturing and research will be released into the environment. I am trying to learn more about the fate of this nanoparticle waste- how will it interact with the environment? How stable is it under various environmental conditions?
Santino: Manganese oxide is being extensively studied right now because it has an ideal crystal structure for charge storage. Essentially, it's a cheap way to make part of a very fast charging and discharging 'supercapacitor' which can be used for anything from defibrillators to fast charging bike lights and cellphones.
Is any of your research taking place off campus? If so, what's that experience like?
Roberts: I use the Transmission Electron Microscope at PSU to determine the size of the nanoparticles I synthesize. It is a much larger piece of equipment than we need to have at Lewis & Clark, so it is helpful to have access to it when we do need it, without having to purchase, house, and care for it full time. It is great to visit the labs and meet graduate students and scientists there.
Santino: I use some instruments at PSU as well. Their high-resolution scanning electron microscope is useful for characterizing the surface of the films I create, and their X-Ray Diffractometer allows me to determine the crystal structure of the films.
What first sparked your interest in this research area?
Roberts: This is my third summer research experience. I have been excited about doing research since my first internship and wanted the opportunity to do chemistry research with a professor at Lewis & Clark. I wanted to do research with an environmental focus and I've always liked working with solutions. Nanomaterials research is especially interesting to me because it is a diverse field with many different applications, from medical treatments to faster computers.
Santino: I've always been really interested in chemistry research. Materials chemistry is particularly interesting because it's so versatile. There are 98 elements that naturally occur on Earth, and we haven't gotten anywhere near figuring out what the limits of these fundamental building blocks are. Even when we think we've figured everything about a particular element out, like carbon, someone discovers buckminsterfullerene, or graphene.
How has working closely with faculty influenced your education?
Roberts: For me, hands-on learning is the most effective way to learn. It is extraordinary to have the opportunity to do research in a setting where I get so much feedback. I particularly like having the freedom to work at my own pace and try new things while still feeling very supported in the lab.
Santino: Like Keira said, we are given as much room as we want without being left in the dark. It's this sort of trust and confidence that our mentor has in us that fosters our creativity as scientists and allows us to discover on our own.
How do you hope your experiences this summer will impact your future studies or professional pursuits?
Roberts: I've wanted to go into chemistry research for a while, and I think this summer has been a great introduction into what that career path looks like. I developed a good skill set this summer and feel very well prepared for future research opportunities. I will be able to continue my research during the academic year, which is an exceptional opportunity to apply what I'm learning from my classes to a hands-on setting.
Santino: In addition, I don't think I would have felt nearly as confident as I do going into a graduate program now had I not the opportunity to take part in summer research.
About the program
The John S. Rogers Science Research Program allows students to participate in graduate-level research with an emphasis on strengthening their communication skills by requiring them to present their findings. This summer, 40 students are pursuing topics that range from artificial intelligence and motivating behavior to holographic tweezers and zebra fish. Working closely with peers and faculty members, students undertake research questions and present their work in two public venues.
"We're not asking you, 'What's the answer?' We're saying, 'What's the question?'" said Michael Broide, director of the Rogers program and chair of the physics department. "I think what sets our program apart is that regardless of what project you are on, we're all going to come together as a group to present what we're doing in as accessible a way as possible. In science, it's such an important skill to be able to explain cogently what you're doing."
Students make their final research presentation at the Rogers summer science poster session, held in conjunction with the Science Without Limits Symposium. Scheduled for September 18, the poster session is free and open to the public.

Quilting on a Sunday Morning
But when I was chatting with Amanda, and she asked me to test her gumdrops pattern from Sunday Morning Quilts, of course I said yes. I had seen the quilt in person when I visited in February of last year and it was so appealing!
I jumped right in, with a color scheme that was "current," wanting to put my stamp on it. The pattern was very well written, undoubtedly, but my gumdrops in yellow on grey was a bit lackluster.
Rather than inspiration, it was a push from Amanda to talk about the pattern testers work on her blog that had me pulling it out again. I mean, my sweet friend links to my blog with some frequency, but this felt like it needed a solid effort on my part to participate!
Pillows, I was thinking, to which Amanda replied that it was no surprise. Turns out I'm not a big quilter, but quite the pillower.
High Park Fire victims. This wildfire is hitting close to home, it seems that we all know someone whose home was lost, or evacuated. 82,000 acres and still growing. It makes my heart hurt. Please pray for rain, we could really use it here in Colorado!

Isn't that the truth! And now with the fires in Colorado Springs and Durango and Leadville it seems a good part of the state is on fire.ReplyDelete
By the way I love the pillows. You're right, as a quilt, the yellow gumdrops just don't show well but as pillows I love the colors and pattern.ReplyDelete
Tara...we are keeping CO in our prayers...here in IN we are having a hard time of it without water too...but thankfully no fires!ReplyDelete
I love Amanda Jean and Cheryl's book...I requested my local library purchase it and Ive been soaking it up...but I think Im destined to own it!!
Your pillow has given me so much inspriation, the quilt is lovely, but your pillow and the unusual setting takes it all to a new level for me. Its just perfect, I hope they raise lots of money for your cause!
They look great! I love the "make it your own" theme that runs through the book... I'd say you've done a great job of that. :)ReplyDelete
She blogs!ReplyDelete
Love the pillows lady.
She blogs! And she's back! They are lovely!!!ReplyDelete
Oh, these are gorgeous! Love that you made the design work for you in this clever way.ReplyDelete
i am so excited that you blogged about these. LOL about you being a pillower. that's a great term you coined. LOVE it. LOVE your pillows. they are so good!ReplyDelete
thanks so much for being a pattern tester! i'll happily have you test more patterns if it means you will blog more. ;)
So stinking cute. I doubt even HRH Amy Butler could do as well.ReplyDelete
Love the pillows, Tara! They look great! Do I see another pillow class in my future? :)ReplyDelete
And seriously about the fires and needing some rain already! The little bit we've gotten in the last couple days just isn't cutting it!!!
Nice pillows. And I didn't know pillower was a word:)ReplyDelete
I love love LOVE the pillows. What a genius idea! And the dots peeking out from the back--*sigh*. Some people are quilters, some are bag ladies, and you, my friend, are definitely a pillower!!ReplyDelete
P.S. I think Amanda told me about a tutorial you have, which I really need, but as often happens lately, I can't remember which one. Doh. I'll text you when (or if) I remember...
Great save!ReplyDelete
so that's the story behind the pillows (: - i thought they looked good from the beginning...but in the end, thank you for your generous donation! i think now that we finally got one decent snow, the fire might be officially changed from "active" to "inactive". however the black and brown never disappear...so i have to always return to thoughts of generosity and community...thank you (:ReplyDelete
I like the pillows. A great Idea to for me. I could use my scraps to make a piece of fabric. I do usually like to turn them into purses and bags tho.... It makes a great gift for all my grand and great grand children, (30 + 18)and a soon to be 31st Grandchild due in Nov. Christmas is just around the corner - LOL (by 8 months), and I have a lot of gifts to make.ReplyDelete

A tick previously not found in North America has been spotted in seven U.S. states, including bordering state New York.
The Asian long-horned tick, which lives in parts of Asia and Australia, can carry serious infections, some of which can be deadly.
"The tick has the potential to transmit infections to humans, but none of the ticks tested in North America has been infected," said Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease specialist at Toronto General Hospital. "But they still have the potential."
READ MORE: Experts predict more Lyme disease in Canada
Are they a threat?
A recent report in the New York Times noted the tick is currently spreading "rapidly" along the Eastern Seaboard, and has been found in heavily populated suburbs of New York City.
These ticks also reproduce on their own — experts note after a meal, a female Asian long-horned tick can lay hundreds of eggs without mating.
WATCH: How to prepare for and handle ticks in the summer
And while they are still considered a potential threat to humans, Bogoch explained they are a bigger threat to livestock.
"They feed heavily on livestock that can result in blood loss," he continued. "Many ticks can attach themselves to livestock at the same time."
The infections
Even in Asia and Australia, many of the ticks don't carry infections, Bogoch said, but when they do, it can be deadly.
One of the infections is a relative of Lyme disease, a concern Canadian health officials are still dealing with this summer.
"The severe threat is SFTS virus — it's only been found in Asia and it's still a very rare infection in humans," he continued. "Fifteen per cent of people who get bitten die."
READ MORE: Woman removes 85 ticks from her dog after a walk — how to keep pets safe
But again, he stressed, less than one per cent of Asian long-horned ticks in Asia actually have the syndrome, and it is not found in Australia either.
Not a concern yet
And because they are so new to North American climates, Bogoch said it is hard to pinpoint when and if Asian long-horned ticks will make their way into Canada. "It's too soon to know but eyebrows go up when we have a new species in North America that has the potential to transmit infections to humans," he continued. "Luckily, none of these ticks have any infections."
The concern right now is a tick that carries Lyme disease, he adds, which he predicts will continue to spread across regions of Canada. "Ticks and other insects don't care about boundaries."
READ MORE: Ticks don't just carry Lyme disease. What you should know about Powassan virus
As of now, he adds, the impact of them in North America is unknown, so they aren't confirmed threats.
And with ticks in general, the best way to protect yourself is to wear long sleeves, light-coloured clothing and take showers after being in wooded areas that may have ticks.
Ticks are often small, sometimes the size of a poppy seed, so it's important to check your body (and your pet) thoroughly.
And don't forget to wash your clothes — even throwing it in the dryer can help kill ticks.

To me, the three choices a runner has when running a race or a hard workout is to feel good, be uncomfortable or suffer.
You can't suffer in every workout or you'll either get hurt or start the process of overtraining. But don't deceive yourself when it comes to races – you're going to suffer if the goal is to run to your fitness level. You might feel good through 3k of a 5k, but the next 1k is going to be tough and that last 1k you'll suffer…if you run to your fitness level.
Learning to run fast when you're uncomfortable is a skill that takes time, but it's an essential skill if you want to reach your potential as a runner. [Read more…]

I recently had a 18 month old Grady pup that had cruitate surgery. It was a small tear and the vet in Memphis suggested a tplo surgery. After talking to a few people that all suggested I go to Birmingham to a vet that is very good at this surgery, I decided that it would be worth the extra 1000.00 to have it done in Memphis. Time, fuel, etc..
Surgery was complete, she had to remain in a crate for 6 weeks. 2 days prior to the 6 week checkup she started hobbling real bad. I took her in and they x rayed and said her fibula was broke. Said she must have done it jumping, etc. the dog has been in a crate and only out 4 times a day to go to the restroom on a 2'lead. She also had infection setting in from the plates they screwed to the bones. This was not the vet tht performed the surgery, but another vet in his office.
So now another 4 weeks in the crate. Went back today for checkup and now I'm being told that the plate is what caused the fibula to break, and they will need to remove the plates screwed to the leg in a couple weeks. Now more crate time/down time from training. Oh and not to mention the 4000.00 for what????
And also the plates apparently moved, and everything is heeling, BUT THE LEG IS NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED. So after the plates are remover we will need to do more surgeries to properly align the leg.
The X-rays 4 weeks ago showed the leg not lined up properly and nothing was mentioned at this time. They even acted like it was my fault she broke the fibula. Now he's saying it was due to the plate, it will have to be removed, and more surgeries.
I feel like this is BS, and should not have happened. Or at least at the 6 week checkup, been told that the plate caused it and the leg was not lined up instead of like everything was good. I have never been through this I would appreciate some thoughts from anyone on how to handle this without getting myself into trouble.

New BoC rumors. Again.
Just over a year ago Boards of Canada posted a black box on their site in the discog section, which they did before releasing their previous album.
A month or two ago this was posted on their wall:
Warp confirmed that they were working on stuff, but that nothing was officially being planned.
Recently newcleardawn.com was purchased by "Hexagon Sun" (or something like that; it's kind of confusing) and around the same time the image for the BoC section of warp.net switched to a picture of a nuclear explosion.
So maybe they're going to release a new album after their infamous 7 year hiatus. Still trying to decide if there is actually going to be a new album of if it's BoC messing with us again. I called bullshit at first, but now I'm starting to wonder.

|Recommended: Use Full Screen button in Flash Zoom or your browser when viewing
Since 1997 I have been shooting computer-stitched panoramic landscapes. These are made by taking a series of overlapping shots and using special software to join and blend them together seamlessly. You can shoot anything from high-res non-distorted wide-angle shots to full 360 degree wrap arounds, and even spherical full views.
|badland-50-br.jpg (6369 x 1100 - 1063K) or Flash Zoom!
|Full size is 19525 x 3372 (66 Megapix). (7' 6" x 15" [$106] at 217PPI) (See Full-Rez Slice)
While most people shoot these to show in VR plugins that let you move around in the scene, I shoot them to be viewed all at once, ideally in high-res output on paper. I have printed them up to 32 feet long for my own walls and other people's. They provide a way to see all of a scene, sometimes more in one photo than the human eye can grasp at once.
I've collected the best of my shots below.
In a few cases, I have "rest of" pages with lesser panoramas that are not of top quality but still interesting.
See the top of page for links to the various panorama pages and other pages. For completness, other, older panoramas of more amateur quality are also available for viewing.
Pictures are always available from 800 to 1100 pixels high for direct browser viewing, and can be scaled to smaller sizes for small screens.
In addition, many of my photos are now available through a zooming panorama viewer if you have the Flash plugin. This allows you to wander around the panorama and zoom in on particular items at full resolution, the resolution you get if you buy prints. When using the zoom viewer I recommend using the right-click menu to enter Fullscreen mode. You may also like to change the mouse action. Note that many panoramas are not 360s or were not designed to mesh up so you may see a discontinuity.

As driver of the No. 19 Boy Scouts of America IndyCar, Alex Lloyd has a built-in fan base of millions of Scouts, parents, volunteers, and alumni.
And when he finished fourth at the May 2010 Indianapolis 500, he wooed many more fans who have never been involved with Scouting. Hundreds of thousands in the stands and millions more watching the live national broadcast saw Alex's impressive day.
I caught up with Alex last July for an exclusive interview during a rare break in his busy schedule. He chatted with me on the phone from his home in Indianapolis.
Bryan: You had a relatively slow start in the four races leading up to the Indy 500. Talk about how you stayed the course during those early struggles.
Alex Lloyd: Racing's no different than any other career or activity. You have your bumps along the way, and sometimes those mountains can seem like Mount Everest and you can't imagine how you're going to get to the other side. It's a matter of digging deep and picking yourself up. Keep working and believing in yourself and your team and the guys around you. We knew that we could do the job, and we wouldn't let the disappointing start prevent us from achieving what we want to achieve. That never-give-up attitude applies to every aspect of life. We have proof for myself and the team and Scouts and anybody watching—it pays off to take that kind of approach.
B.W.: You were a Scout in England, where it was founded. How was that?
A.L.: Yes, I was in Scouts for three or four years in Manchester. My mom was a volunteer, and when I was in the Cub Scouts she would come in and help look after everybody. It was a lot of fun. When it came about that I was going to be driving the Boy Scouts car and I looked into it, I didn't realize how many of my family members had been involved in Scouts.
B.W.: What did you think when you were first approached by the Boy Scouts of America?
A.L.: They explained it to me, and I got pretty excited. I could see that this was a fantastic opportunity for myself and the team. You're meeting so many different kinds of people, the leaders and the kids, and you get to share all of this. You work with a lot of sponsors and a lot of different companies as a driver. And most of them involve very corporate events. You put on your suit and tie and meet people. That's fine, but I've just found this [partnership with the BSA] so refreshing.
B.W.: What are the BSA events like?
A.L.: Other sponsors' events have never been a chore for me, but these kind of events that we do with the Scouts, I love doing them. I wouldn't want to miss them. Say I'm told to stay there for an hour. Well, I love to spend more time there than that. You talk the kids, and they ask some really good questions. "How fast do the cars go?" "What's it feel like to drive one?"
At the end of the day, when I'm driving one of these cars I feel like a kid again. And the parents and the adult leaders enjoy seeing their kids get fired up about something. It's like the ultimate pinewood derby car.
B.W.: What would you tell an adult leader who's thinking of taking his or her Scouts out to one of your races?
A.L.: It would exceed what he would expect in terms of how much he would enjoy it. You don't have to be a racing fan to enjoy these kinds of events. You can enjoy the nice weather, the whole setting. You can just go and have fun. Compared to NASCAR, IndyCar is really open and not cut-off. We say, "come in and let us show you the cars." You come away thinking that trip was worth it. It's good fun, it's educational, and it's a great activity to do.
B.W.: What has been the BSA presence at the races so far?
A.L.: We've got tons of Scouts. You can really feel the Scouts out there. It's been impressive to see everybody come out there in their uniforms. It's quite a presence. Drivers come up to me after and say, "Wow, we saw so many Boy Scouts out there."
I've been amazed at how many people are affiliated with the Boy Scouts. There just seems to be so many people that are involved or know somebody involved. Even in the people that aren't involved, I've found so many cheering on the Boy Scouts car. I've had a number of people say, "I'm not a Scout, but I'm cheering for the Scouts." Everybody knows somebody that's been involved in the Scouts. Everybody knows something about them. You have that kind of relation where, "That's a cool thing," As opposed to some random company that you might not know anything about. Everybody cares about kids and seeing kids grow up in the right manner.
B.W.: Thanks for chatting with us, and good luck this season!

Concerned about the plans of the powerful Caruso Affiliated mall
in Arcadia, California to a 800,000 square foot outdoor mall and a 100,000 square foot gambling facility, local citizens founded
Arcadia First to block the massive building. Confronted
with Caruso's aggressive public relations and lobbying campaign,
Arcadia First hired Burnside & Associates to slow the political process, eliminate certain features of the project, and stop the project
from moving forward.
Burnside & Associates hit the ground running in February 2006 with a multi-phase program:
The November 2006 election resulted in both Measures N and P being approved
by a very narrow margin.
Measure N passed by 99 votes, or 50.3% - 49.7%.
Measure P passed by 308 votes, or 51% - 49%.
A close scrutiny of the vote totals brought one fact
both measures were defeated by voters who actually
went to the polls. But they passed in the final count because of the overwhelming
vote margin provided by ballots cast by mail.
Burnside & Associates' aggressive vote-by-mail program made the difference.
Arcadia First removed the simulcast gaming center and
the housing elements from the final approved project.

Ivo Prokopiev is one of the most successful businessmen in Bulgaria. He is co-owner, chairman of the management board and CEO of Alfa Finance Holding, a quickly expanding holding company covering businesses in real estate development and construction, the extraction of industrial minerals and financial services. He is also co-owner and chairman of the board of directors of Economedia AD, the second largest publishing group in Bulgaria (publishing the quality daily Dnevnik and the Bulgaria's leading weekly Kapital). Prokopiev also chairs the Bulgarian Confederation of Employers and Industrialists.
Prokopiev was born in the early 1970s in Razgrad, a provincial town of some 40,000 inhabitants in the North-East of Bulgaria with a substantial Turkish minority population of 27 percent. When he turned 18, he moved to Sofia to study. That was in 1989.
"I was lucky to belong to the first generation that was mature enough, but on the other hand not damaged from the old system. So, when the change happened, I was in the first year at the University of Economics. We started with Marx and we finished with Adam Smith. So that was a very strange year, '89 and the beginning of '90. (…)
"I was quite good in mathematics, but I didn't want to go to Sofia University to study mathematics, because I had a clear idea what I wanted. At that time the Perestroika had already started. So there was an inflow of progressive ideas from Russia. In that time, 1989, reforms were more advanced in Russia than in Bulgaria.
"So, Russia was a source for new ideas. We were not allowed to read Western newspapers, but we could read Russian newspapers. And through Russian newspapers we started to get an idea what will happen. And having that sense, from 'Literaturnaya Gazeta' and other papers, I decided to become a manager. And that's why I applied for economics. I wanted to become manager of a government company, because there were no private ones… [laughs]."
Ivo Prokopiev's first job, however, was that of an economics reporter. As a student of finance, he started writing for the newly founded economic daily "Pari" (money), which still exists and is now owned by the Swedish Group Bonnier.
"After one year, when the place was a little small for me, together with my partner we decided to start our own newspaper. We started 'Banker', which also still exists, a very nice niche product for the banking industry. And then 'Kapital' came very naturally, because we sold 'Banker' and invested the money in 'Kapital', which was a little broader than 'Banker', covering - apart of finance and business - also political issues and transition issues.
"An important element of the early beginning was a partnership agreement with Reuters. At that time, Reuters was in very good shape, globally, and they wanted to have a big office in Bulgaria, but not having too much people on the payroll, so doing a weekly was a perfect fit with their need, because in the meantime our people were servicing as Reuters stringers. And that's how we developed. That partnership, of course, gave us access to their archives, international stories, and it gave us a sense of quality. Most of our people were trained at the Reuters Foundation."
At the time, the Bulgarian economy was in serious trouble. Transition after the demise of communism was not off to a good start. Privatisation had not yet taken off, banks were decapitalised, the free market was not really functioning, and unscrupulous criminals were launching financial pyramid schemes. There was a need for reliable financial and economic information.
"Actually, fighting pyramid schemes was the first and probably the most important positioning of the paper, an important public fight which we won. We managed to show to the public how empty all these structures are, and that they will never perform according to their promises. That was before the banking crisis; it was the first significant financial turbulence in Bulgaria, uncovered by 'Kapital', not by the banking supervisory department. By the newspaper, and people started to trust it. For the newspaper business the trust and public confidence is the most important element of brand identity. If you have it, you're in the business - if you don't have it, do something else, but not in the newspaper business."
In the mid-1990s, Prokopiev started to do consultancy work for investors and financial businesses. Later on, he and two local partners started to invest in emerging markets. In the late 1990s, however - after the crisis in Russia, during which they lost a lot of money, and after Bulgaria's domestic economy began to pick up - they began to invest back home. Prokopiev has a unique way of looking at Bulgaria's 1997 economic crisis.
"For Bulgarian society, it was very healthy to face that reality. I'm sad to say that, but the memory of hyperinflation and fiscal discipline is still the main driving force for reforms in Bulgaria. After that very deep economic crisis, in which 40% of the deposits in the banking sector were lost, GDP declined I think 16-17% in one year. It was very painful, economically, but on the other hand, we had a solid base afterwards to start with the real transition. And, of course, governments after that missed a lot of opportunities, but generally they did well. Not very good, but they did well. So they managed to meet the number one and number two key foreign policy priorities for the country, being members of NATO and members of the European Union."
During this period Prokopiev gave up his active role in Mediagroup and focused on developing a brokerage and financial consulting company. In 1999, he co-founded Alfa Finance AD, which became a holding company a year later. That same year, thanks to privatisation, Alfa acquired Kaolin, a major producer of industrial minerals. Further acquisitions and investments followed, particularly in real estate. By 2007, Alfa Finance Holding had 3,500 employees and was worth EUR 334 million. In terms of value, real estate has become the biggest part of the group.
This dramatic expansion would not have been possible without skills, luck, and the preparedness to take big risks. Ivo Prokopiev, who never lived abroad, is a natural born risk-taker.
"I would prefer to take ten decisions, out of them two, three wrong, but still the other seven which are right compensating the three that are not. Instead of, you know, taking just two, but being certain that every time you take the right one. (…)
"Dynamism is our culture, the change, the speed is what drives us, and we clearly understand that we don't have other chances. We have a momentum, the window of opportunity for, I may say, 2 to 3, 2 to 4 years from now. In that period we still have comparative advantages of being locals with access to capital. After that period, the big ones will come, and will just buy the marketplace. And then we have to do something else."

text: Has anyone ever heard any details about Darleen and Dawn Roddenberry from Gene's first marriage? I've quite frankly had enough of hearing about Rod Roddenberry trying to figure out who his father was and him being treated like he's the only legacy left behind by Roddenberry. They're hardly acknowleged in any writings and if it weren't for their roles in Miri, I wouldn't have known anything about them. I've read that Dawn passed away in 1995, so that leaves Darleen, who's 59 at this time. I'm sure if Rod had talked to her for his documentary, she would have provided some of those interesting "human" insights about apparently abandoning his family to marry an actress. Apparently Dawn tried to sue Barrett after getting disinherited, so there's probably some bad blood between the two there. It'd just be an interesting new perspecitive to hear from instead of all of the things Rod keeps saying that they're going to do, but have nothing to show for it. I'm suprised that Trek Nation actually got made.

Not Just China
An article in the NY Times this morning sheds light on this important fact: Just because Chinese imports are in the tainted-food spotlight right now, China's not the only country that deserves scrutiny. (Registration required)
Among other things, the article makes the point that while 1368 food imports from China were refused by the FDA last year, both Mexico (1480) and India (1763) had higher numbers of refusals.
Also on the FDA's most-refused list: Denmark (543), Vietnam (533), Japan (508), and Italy (482). (The FDA can turn back food imports for any number of reasons, from toxins to hygiene problems to faulty paperwork.)
Watch for tighter FDA scrutiny on imports in the near future, and let your mind wander about how that might affect your grocery, and restaurant, bills.

IVP OT Dictionaries: A Personal Recommendation
When we first released the IVP Dictionary of the OT: Pentateuch and IVP Dictionary of the OT: Historical Books in May of this year, I blogged about how useful they are and how excited we were to be able to offer them. Since then, I've found myself turning to these dictionaries more and more in my own research, and I just wanted to offer a quick personal recommendation.
As I've been writing about various aspects of Old Testament narratives—worship practices, pagan religion, daily life, etc.—I've been looking up subjects that are not always easy to get clear information about. Many of these things are shrouded in mystery or clouded in the uncertainty of scholarly debate. General Bible dictionaries tend to focus on what we know for certain, which means they often lack the depth or detail I'm looking for. The larger, more encyclopedic dictionaries offer greater depth and detail, but even the most recent are typically several decades old. If I'm dealing with something that is still being debated or reevaluated in the light on ongoing discoveries, I want the most recent information I can get.
That's where the IVP Old Testament dictionaries have proven really helpful. When I look up Canaan or Baal, for example, I find a concise summary of more recent discoveries and what they mean for the current state of the discussion. It's detailed enough that I feel I can understand and evaluate various arguments, yet concise enough that I don't get bogged down in the scholarly minutiae.
In short, I've been extremely impressed with how helpful these dictionaries are. If you're preaching or teaching through the Pentateuch or Historical Books and you want solid information about the people, places, events, and practices they mention, do yourself a favor and pick up these two dictionaries.

I concur with your assessment, David. And guess who's translating these books into Spanish... ;-)
I checked those two and two others out just today in a seminary library. Good stuff. I plan to purchase them but not until the full set is available. Is that likely to be soon?
Soon meaning less than years?
Helen Brown
I have no idea when we will get the remaining volumes from Inter-Varsity. We do have much of the series in the IVP Essential Reference Library, which is included in our Advanced and Ultimate Collections.

Dan Moore, physician assistant at McLaren Greater Lansing Internal Medicine in Lansing, says allergies and poison ivy are going around this week.
The hallmark sign of poison ivy is an itchy, red raised rash that appears in lines or streaks. That rash turns into blisters that break open and ooze clear fluid. You may also have localized swelling and a feeling of warmth at the exposed area.
Most cases of poison ivy can be treated at home. Wash the area and your clothes with soap and hot water as soon as possible.
Take an oral antihistamine and apply hydrocortisone cream and calamine lotion. Use a cool compress, too.
See a doctor if your case is severe.
It's a common misconception that poison ivy is contagious. The plant oil is contagious but the rash itself is not. That's why it's so important to wash the oil from your skin and clothes.
Patients are coming into Moore's office with all kinds of allergies this week, too, including allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis. The former affects the nose; the latter affects the eyes.
Runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes and nose, and dark circles under the eyes are symptoms.
Avoiding allergens is key.
Try lubricating eye drops and cool compresses for eye discomfort.
Take antihistamines to help with mild seasonal allergies.
These allergies can lead to sinus infections.
Allergens can also trigger asthma. If you have asthma, follow your prescribed treatment regimen.

EPM Strategy - Executive Overview Project Dashboard
This solution is a basic example of a simple dashboard for your Executives. The first page answers the question of how far along we are for each schedule? And, are we on track on our projects? The second and fourth pages shows costing in a visual format while the third page show the costing in data format. The fifth page shows how many Issues and Risks are in the portfolio. The sixth page is an easy to understand visual – the biggest fish is the most expensive project. In this example, the drill down is turned off but in many cases the ability to drill down on the data should be enabled to allow the Executives to explore the data in greater detail.Contact opnemen met partner Video bekijken
Executive Overview
Executives and Upper Management receive a lot of information in a lot of ways. By visually giving them the status of the current portfolio of projects and displaying if it is on time or not to the deadline date makes it easy for them to know where they should concentrate their time and energy. That is what the status page shows – the percentage complete of each project in the portfolio based on the project status that is selected. And, on the right side, the number of days early or late (or if it is exactly on time) a project is (based on the deadline) is displayed in an easy to understand manner. With the two pieces of information – the completed amount and the variance for the number of days - the Management Team can decide together what projects may need more attention from the organization.
In many situations, EPM Strategy creates the report so that it is drillable and then the Management Team can look and see what task(s) are causing the project to go late if they so desire. Or, this report can link to another report that gives more detailed information for each individual project that can display the task(s) that are causing the dates to move for a project. In this example, we only are using status as a slicer but in larger organizations we may also use Departments, Project Managers, Locations or some combination of those and other important differentiators that an organization may use.
The second page represents a common request by Executives and Upper Management as well – "How many Issues or Risks are there on these projects?" It may be that before drilling down on the information on the first page, the Issues and Risks can be reviewed to determine if there is an obvious cause of the percentage complete or variance shown on the first page. For example, an issue may be on a project for a task where the organization is waiting for some external input. By drilling down on the issues for a project it may be that the Management Team doesn't have to start asking Project Managers or other stakeholders the reasoning for the information from the first page. This is another potential time saver as the reasoning behind the data can be sometimes easily seen by drilling down on the Issues (or Risks) for a specific project.

Darn... I didn't realize this group was inactive until just now. Was wondering why I hadn't seen anything.
Funny story - I got banned on a Christian homeschool forum a few days ago... ridiculous. I was pretty active too. I shared this megalist of creative writing prompts and in a few hours got banned because some of them weren't 'xtian.'
F***ing get this, here is the prompt that pissed them off: "You are an angel and have been tasked with creating animals to populate the earth. You are called into God's 'office.' God wants to discuss your finished project… the platypus." There were over 300 creative prompts (link) and they decided this went against their religion?
Trying to find some places other than secularhs and was hoping more ppl would be here.
I'm a tad confused. Oak meadows has the biblical history? Or?
Ryan, what grades and subjects?
Ryan it depends on whether you are looking for an all-in-one curriculum or don't mind piecing a curriculum together from multiple sources. Oak Meadow and K-12 are two secular all-in-one's. You can find lists of secular curriculum at Docs sunrise rants: http://docsdomain.net/blog/?page_id=711 and at Secularhomeschool.com
Where can I find an atheist style curriculum?
I thought some of you might be interested in a new political party that I am working with.
founded by atheists and views government policy from an atheist point of view. This view encompasses both a strict adherence to the Separation of Church and State& a reasoned, scientific approach to the solutions for other problems.
Don't you get funding in the states, June? Here in Alberta, Canada we get just over $700 per child in reimbursement on any school related expenses. Doesn't matter if you do "unschooling" or the credit route.
Anyway, we did both our boys from day one as well. They're both basically finished...our 18 year old is just doing some upgrading since he's still eligible for the aforementioned funding (as well as working part-time) and our 19 year old got on with a small drafting firm, taking the required education as he works and is loving it!

The Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championship Presented by Movistar started today in flawless conditions at Señoritas and Caballeros. The left and right pointbreaks presented well overhead, long and glassy waves for the entire first day of competition.
The scenario was perfect for the world's largest junior surf competition. A total of 171 out of the 276 surfers in the event competed in the intense 48 heats of the Under 18 and 16 Boys divisions. The first round determined who will continue to the second and who will battle in the do or die of the repecharge.
Defending Champion, Team Australia gave the big surprise today by having one of their surfers being sent to the repecharge. In a tough heat, Under 16 Kai Hing lost to Brazilians Lucas Silveira and Filipe Toledo.
The rest of the powerhouses, Brazil, Peru, France, Hawaii, USA, Tahiti and South Africa, kept all their competitors alive in the main event. Peruvians proved they know how to surf their waters by posting the highest combined score and single wave total in the Under 18 division and the highest single wave score in the Under 16.
After combining eight strong frontside maneuvers, local star Cristobal de Col proved why he's one of the events favorites, nabbing a 9.00 (the highest single wave score of the event so far) and a 6.83 for a combined score of 15.83 out of 20 possible points, also the highest of the event so far.
Another local, Juninho Urcia was the man of the hour in the Under 16. After being held out of the water for a back injury and surfing only for five days before the event start, Urcia surfed perfectly today, scoring an 8.50 (the highest single wave score of the division) that he backed up with a 6.83.
An excited Urcia said, "We're all happy, me, my family and my team! They gave me the good vibe to have fun in each wave I caught and I thank God for sending me the waves. I hope to keep things like this for the rest of the contest." Another shocker result in the Under 16 Boys division came straight from Italy, with Leonardo Fioravanti winning his heat against USA's Colin Moran, Japan's Gai Sato and Germany's Leon Glatzer.
The 13 year-old surfer from Rome said, "I'm feeling pretty good because I'm young and I surfed good. Some waves were fatter and other deeper, but I knew when to cut and when to hit them, so I'm really happy. My goal is to be the champion." The best surfer of the division was the Tahitian Keoni Yan, who posted a 7.93 and a 7.33 to get a combined total of 15.26. Other standouts in the Under 16 Boys were, Parker Coffin (USA), Eli Steele (Aus) and Soli Bailey (AUS).
In the Under 18, the standouts were Connor O'Leary (AUS), Miguel Tudela (PER), Davey Brand (RSA) and Conner Coffin (USA). South African, Brand, a bronze medalist in the Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championship in 2009, said, "I felt good on my board, the waves are really nice and every day should be like this. It's good to be in Peru, I'm having fun. In this event I'm hoping to get two places better (than two years ago). I'm giving the best I can in every heat and then I see where it takes me.
The event will be back live Monday with the following divisions being held:
Under 18 Girls Round 1
Under 18 Boys Round 1 (heats 25 to 32)
Under 18 Boys Round 2
The full competition for the world's largest Junior surfing event in history will run from Sunday, May 22 to Sunday, May 29 and will be broadcasted live on www.isawjsc.com.

A Skater's Art to Remember
With all the talk of the golden age of Japanese skating, I can't help but feeling like one skater got lost in the shuffle (or, should I say "twizzles"?).
I recalled being very impressed by this skater back in the 2003-04 season. She had all the qualities I most look for in a ladies skater: elegance, musicality, a gamine quality, and vulnerability. Technically, she had deep knees, great speed, gentle jump landings, and some of the best spiral, spread eagle and ina bauer positions and extension in the biz.
Her name is Yukina Ota. She won every Junior competition she entered in the 2002-03 season. She was the 2003 World Junior Champion and 2004 Four Continents Champion. She entered my radar via her televised Grand Prix and 4CCs efforts.
She was never the jumping wunderkind that Asado or Ando are, but knew how to play off her strengths, as did her choreographer, Tom Dickson. In this '04 4CCs LP video she skates to some of the same ethereal Debussy music Sarah Hughes did in her Olympic LP.:
Amazingly, although clearly revealing the depth of the Japanese team, she never medaled at the Japanese (Senior) Nationals. She landed in 4th through 12th place in the four years she competed there.
She was on top of the Junior world, ready to take the Senior world by storm, and yet retired five years later at age 22, without ever fulfilling her promise. Just when her mature beauty was emerging, and her artistry reaching the heights, her body seemed to say no (ala Lipinski, but without the intl. medals).
She had to be one of the finest skaters of the current crop to come out of Japan: more beautiful than Asada, more musical than Ando, and more memorable than Suguri. But, consistency wasn't on her side as a senior. Her last placement at the '07 Japanese Nationals was in 7th, before she retired from competitive skating in 2008, finally caving to injury. Fortunately her LP there still showed some of what made her special. Here is that Concierto de Aranjuez program.:
In another youtube video from a 2007 exhibition (not shown here), we tragically see her barely able to land even a double, and more often than not popping to singles.
Other skaters who have shared a similar sad fate, include Ann Patrice McDonough, and Naomi Nari Nam. Although, thankfully Nam had a second wind as a pairs skater. And, McDonough seemed to run out of gas, rather than be forced out by injury.
For all her prodigious qualities and successes as a Junior, she deserves a place in the history of this decades' Japanese skating greats… AT LEAST the B-List!

In the late 1990's, the ADL wrote Recurring Hate: Matt Hale and the World Church of the Creator (PDF), a report on the then-resurgent World Church of the Creator (now known as the Creativity Movement) and its leader Matthew Hale.
Rahowa, an acronym for Racial Holy War, is the battle cry for the Church of the Creator (COTC), an organization that in the early 1990s was one of the most violent hate groups on the radical right and which has recently experienced a resurgence.
Fueled by militant racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric, the organization has been responsible for, or connected to, at least one Florida murder, two conspiracies to commit hate crimes on the West Coast, and a planned secret police action against the African National Congress conducted in the waning years of South African apartheid. Police investigations into COTC leadership's connections to these criminal activities and the suicide of its charismatic leader, Ben Klassen, however, sent the organization into disarray for several years.
During 1996-97, however, the Church of the Creator (now known as the World Church of the Creator) has experienced a renaissance. Under the leadership of Matt Hale, an aspiring lawyer from Illinois, COTC has found a new center. The reappearance of Klassen's group is a disturbing development and illustrates the continuing and powerful influence of the Creator ideology on the far right, particularly among racist skinheads.
