On December 1, 2005, Valle del Sol Energy, LLC (VSE), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG Energy, submitted an Application for Certification (AFC) to construct and operate a simple cycle (peaking) power plant, the Sun Valley Energy Project (SVEP), near Romoland, in unincorporated Riverside County. The SVEP would be a nominal 500 megawatt (MW) simple-cycle power plant, consisting of five General Electric LMS100 natural gas-fired turbine-generators and associated equipment.
The SVEP is designed as a peaking facility to meet electric generation load during periods of high demand, which generally occur during daytime hours, and more frequently during the summer than other portions of the year. The project is expected to have an annual capacity factor of approximately 20 to 40 percent, depending on weather-related customer demand, load growth, hydroelectric supplies, generating unit retirements and replacements, the level of generating unit and transmission outages, and other factors.
The SVEP site is located at 29500 Rouse Road, Romoland, Riverside County, California. The area that includes the project site is zoned Manufacturing-Service Commercial. The project site is an approximately 20-acre parcel currently in agricultural use. NRG has entered into a lease option agreement for the project site. The lease option will be assigned to and exercised by VSE. The SVEP would use reclaimed water for cooling and other power plant processes and for site landscape irrigation. The Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) would supply, on average, approximately 851 acre-feet per year of reclaimed water for the project. This water would be supplied to the SVEP site through a 12-inch diameter line direct-connected to the existing 12-inch reclaimed water supply pipeline located within the utility easement on the north side of the project site.
Potable water for drinking and sanitary uses would be provided through a 4-inch diameter connection to the EMWD water line within the utility easement on the north side of the project site. Sanitary waste water would be discharged to a local sanitary sewer line that runs in a utility easement within the project site. Process waste water, concentrated beyond discharge limits to the reclaimed water system, would be discharged via a 0.75 mile-long line to a separate EMWD non-reclaimable wastewater line then routed through interceptor lines to the Orange County Sanitation District wastewater treatment plant, that discharges to an ocean outfall.
The SVEP would be connected to Southern California Edison's (SCE) electrical system at the existing Valley Substation, which is located approximately 600 feet north of the project site. This connection would require approximately 600 feet of 115-kilovolt transmission line and one off-site transmission tower to be located within SCE's transmission line corridor near the connection point at the southern end of the substation. Natural gas would be supplied to the SVEP via a 750-foot-long pipeline within the SVEP parcel to a connection with one or more of Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) high-pressure gas pipelines located at Menifee Road east of the project site.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Think of them as 'the shadow people,' those living outside the 10-mile area surrounding Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Generating Station. They're not part of the mandatory evacuation plan but they most certainly will want to leave in the event of a nuclear accident.
That 'shadow evacuation' could wreak havoc on orderly plans to move people out of harm's way, a government report contends.
The report issued earlier this month by the federal Government Accountability Office concluded that not enough information is known about evacuation needs beyond the 10-mile zone around each nuclear plant. In the wake of that report, Sen. Bob Casey has written a letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission suggesting that evacuation planning for a nuclear accident at the nation's nuclear plants is inadequate.
Casey is urging the NRC to follow recommendations made in the report to study populations outside the 10-mile zone and determine evacuation needs.
' More than 10 million Pennsylvanians, which is 80 percent of our population, live within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant,' Casey said, urging updates to the emergency management planning as it relates to that group.
The focus on the shadow effect comes in the wake of the 2011 nuclear disaster in Japan. At the time, U.S. officials called for all U.S. citizens in Japan to move at least 50 miles away from the failing Fukushima Daichi plant.
The NRC counters that its research is adequate in assuring that 'shadow evacuations generally have no significant impact on traffic movement' and that current emergency planning procedures protect the public's health and safety.
But population growth and traffic congestion suggest otherwise.
In August 2011, Thomas Sullivan, the director of public safety for Montgomery County, provided written comments prior to the public hearing the NRC held for the re-licensing of the Limerick nuclear plant. In his comments, Sullivan wrote 'special attention for improvement should be given to the local, county and state roads used for evacuation that feed the larger highways as many of these roadways are no longer suitable for the amount of traffic that an EPZ evacuation could produce.'Michael Stokes, assistant director of the Montgomery County Planning Commission, pointed to the traffic load on Route 422and how that might impede an evacuation.'Current peak commuting traffic tie-ups on portions of the expressway serve as evidence that it may have inadequate capacity to continue to serve as a safe evacuation corridor for the region,' Stokes said.
And those comments were in the context of the 10-mile evacuation zone, not including the impact from a surrounding shadow.
Since the original plant was constructed, the population in the surrounding communities has grown dramatically.
The Associated Press noted in a 2011 report on aging nuclear plants that the population in a 10-mile radius around the Limerick plant had increased by 45 percent since 1990 - from 178,047 to 257,625.And in a 50-mile radius, the population around Limerick increased by more than 855,000 since 1990.
To claim that a 'shadow population' of that size would not affect evacuation is either naive or deceptive.
The tragedies and disasters that affect our world, some by nature and some by human hand, have taught us that no spot on Earth is 100 percent safe. In the face of that reality, we have to be 100 percent prepared.
The NRC's reluctance to take a complete look at evacuation preparedness fails that standard of preparedness.
In this region, where the Limerick towers cast a long shadow of their own, failure to be prepared is a frightening thought.

Abu l'Hasan Ali ibn Ahmad Al-Nasawi
Born: about 1010 in possibly Nasa, Khurasan,Iran
Died: about 1075 in possibly Baghdad, Iraq
|Main Index
|Biographies index
Nothing was known about al-Nasawi in Europe until 1863 when Woepcke published information on a manuscript containing a work by al-Nasawi on elementary arithmetic. Al-Nasawi had prepared an original version of it in Persian for the library of the Iranian prince Majd al-Dawlah, of the Buyid dynasty. Before the work was completed, however, Majd al-Dawlah was deposed as ruler so, on completion of the work, al-Nasawi presented it to Sharaf al-Muluk who was the vizier of Jalal ad-Dawlah (Jalal ad-Dawlah was the ruler of Baghdad from 1025 to 1044). Sharaf al-Muluk ordered al-Nasawi to rewrite the work in Arabic, and this he did. The Arabic version has survived and it is this which Woepcke studied in 1863.
From this description, and from the fact that al-Nasawi dedicated another work to a Shi'ite leader in Baghdad, we at least can deduce that al-Nasawi worked for part of his life in Baghdad. A few more details of his life have become known recently. A paragraph about al-Nasawi's life has been found in a manuscript and it tells us that he spent time in Rayy, and was visited by ibn Sina. The authors of [3] give an analysis of this mid-12th century manuscript which once contained 80 tracts, but of these only 43 survive. Tract 26 is a summary of Euclid's Elements by al-Nasawi.
The reasons which al-Nasawi gives for writing this summary are two-fold. On the one hand he says that it will act as an introduction to the Elements while on the other hand it will provide all the necessary background in geometry for anyone wanting to read Ptolemy's Almagest Ⓣ. He does not meet the first of these aims very successfully for the tract is nothing more than a copy of the first six books of the Elements together with Book XI. All al-Nasawi appears to have done is to omit some constructions and change a few of the proofs. This work is interesting historically for our understanding of the way that the Elements was transmitted in Arabic countries but has little significance for its contributions to mathematics.
There were three different types of arithmetic used in Arab countries around this period: (i) a system derived from counting on the fingers with the numerals written entirely in words; this finger-reckoning arithmetic was the system used by the business community, (ii) the sexagesimal system with numerals denoted by letters of the Arabic alphabet, and (iii) the arithmetic of the Indian numerals and fractions with the decimal place-value system. The arithmetic book by al-Nasawi is of this third "Indian numeral" type.
The book is composed of four separate treatises, each dealing with a particular class of numbers. The first deals with integers, the second with proper common fractions, the third with improper fractions, and finally the fourth with sexagesimals. In each of the four cases al-Nasawi explains the four elementary arithmetical operations. He also explains doubling, halving, taking square roots, and taking cube roots. Each method for each of the four types is illustrated with worked examples and a checking procedure is explained which usually involves usually casting out nines The method al-Nasawi gives for taking cube roots is the same as the method described in the Chinese Mathematics in Nine Books, but quite how he learnt of this method is unknown.
Al-Nasawi is critical of works on arithmetic written by earlier authors. However, looking at the texts which he criticises that we can examine because they have survived, we can see now that his criticisms are not valid. In fact, in some respects, al-Nasawi does not rate too highly as a mathematician. There seems nothing original in any of his works and, more significantly, there are several places where al-Nasawi presents pieces of mathematics which he fails to properly understand. For example he fails to understand the principle of "borrowing" when doing subtraction.
Two other works by al-Nasawi have survived. One discusses the theorem of Menelaus while the other is [1]:-
... a corrected version of Archimedes' Lemmata as translated into Arabic by Thabit ibn Qurra, which was last revised by Nasir al-Din al-Tusi.

If one were to compare the personal computer to the human body, then the brain is naturally the CPU which does all the number crunching. As the common platform where all your PC components are attached to, the motherboard is analogous to the heart of the machine. It is therefore the most important component of your system and the final arbiter of whether you can plug your latest devices and other add-on cards and have them working fine.
While the concept of the motherboard may have its roots in the 1980s, the past ten years have obviously seen its fair share of developments. Most of the changes are inevitable and are determined not by motherboard manufacturers, but by industry giants like Intel that design and build the reference chipsets for its processors. Changes in the processor design, like a new socket with a different number of pins will affect the motherboards too. In that sense, this segment is subject to the changing whims of the PC industry and many of the changes we'll be seeing are related to it. However, while the core logic used by manufacturers may be the same from one vendor to another, there are still plenty of opportunities for them to innovate and distinguish themselves.
At the start of 1998, the reigning processor then was the Intel Pentium II and one of the best chipsets ever released to complement this processor was the Intel 440BX. With a front-side bus (FSB) ranging from 66 to 100MHz, motherboards built on this chipset supported four memory banks for a total of 1GB of SDRAM memory. It used the AGP slot (Accelerated Graphics Port) for discrete graphics, supported the PCI 2.1 standard and interfaced with hard drives using ATA/66 in UDMA Mode 2.
Fast forward ten years later and the latest mainstream Intel P45 chipset has a FSB that goes up to 1333MHz (or higher) and the AGP port had long given way to the version 1.0 predecessor before the current PCI Express 2.0 format. While PATA was still supported through a third party solution, Intel had done away with this interface and its successor, SATA was the de facto standard for interfacing with storage drives. The memory technology standard was also very different from the single channel, single data rate of SDRAM as one can now choose between DDR2 or DDR3 implementations of the P45 chipset. As for the ISA I/O bus on the 440BX, this had been obsolete for many years and fully replaced by PCI and PCIe.
As you may have noticed from our short description, the basic format and layout of a motherboard have largely remained the same. It is recognizably a motherboard, whether you have a modern version or a relic from ten years ago. The ATX form factor and its variants have survived the years mostly intact and while the names have changed, the functionality of the motherboard has not. There is still an I/O bus for communications between the processor and the other devices connected to the motherboard. Dedicated channels exist for the hard drive and the graphics card and even ten years ago, they had USB ports, albeit of the 1.0 variety.
The concept of a Northbridge (typically a memory and graphics controller hub) and Southbridge (I/O hub) to handle different communication tasks has been around for a while now. And though the newer chipsets may not have them as a mandatory feature, motherboards have continued to provide support for legacy devices like the communication ports, floppy drive and PS/2 to name but a few.
Of course, that's not to say that nothing has really changed. For one, modern motherboards have extensive tweaking options available in BIOS. While there were already 'soft' BIOS prior to 1998 (QDI comes to mind with its SpeedEasy jumper-free technology), it was made famous by overclocking pioneers like abit and its SoftMenu, where users could adjust their settings for overclocking purposes inside the BIOS instead of fiddling with jumpers. This concept has by now spread to practically every aspect of the motherboard and is used by all vendors.
One could of course attribute this trend to overclocking enthusiasts and in some way, it's true that many of the extensive tweaks are meant for overclocking, like core and memory voltages. Others however are could be prompted by power users and generally useful for all, such as the ability to flash the BIOS using a utility accessed directly from the BIOS. In fact, the BIOS has become the playground for vendors eager to flex their engineering prowess, with the addition of new and proprietary features.
Over the years, we have also seen the integration of various peripherals onto the motherboard. Again, this is not new as the motherboard has usually included some integrated peripherals, from your onboard audio to Ethernet LAN. Arguably, the modern motherboard is more fully featured than boards of ten years ago, though this can really depend on what price segment one looks at. At the high-end segment, we have seen some extreme configurations where the vendor seemed to have included every conceivable possible onboard peripheral.
Besides the powerful and comprehensive modern BIOS, the modern motherboard is usually designed with a multi-phase power distribution system, in part from the greater power efficiencies compared to a single phase solution and also because the motherboard has grown in complexity and their thermal and power ratings has increased, making it essential to have multi-phase power designs. On a similar note, the printed circuit board (PCB) of the typical motherboard is also usually multi-layered as the complexity of the board necessitates these layers for the required signal traces and partly because some motherboard vendors have jumped on this issue in their marketing to distinguish their products from competitors.
Indeed, quality and reliability are key factors that consumers have demanded over the years and motherboard vendors have jumped onto this trend, leading to an industry-wide practice. For instance, Gigabyte was one of the first to introduce only solid capacitors for its motherboard, which are rated to have a longer lifespan than electrolytic ones. Shortly after that, this use of solid capacitors was observed happening on motherboards issued by other vendors, especially since Gigabyte had followed this move with a marketing campaign touting its use of solid capacitors. Now, it's almost a norm to find solid capacitors on motherboards, more so if it's from one of the bigger brand names.
These industry trends can count on a new 'green' movement that has sprung up in recent years. Aided by multi-phase power designs that are responsive to changes in workloads and are able to adjust the voltages accordingly, vendors have taken every opportunity to tout the energy and thermal advantages of their particular boards. Newer forms of cooling the warmer parts of the motherboard (the Northbridge and Southbridge) have been introduced. While early boards could rely simply on passive heatsinks to do the job, later motherboards came with heatsinks reinforced with small fans.
Although the power draw for PCs has generally increased, depending on the chipset, passive cooling has not entirely died out, though some of the heatsinks have grown to become elaborate, heat-pipe based, full copper structures that can dissipate more heat than its simple ancestors. Obviously, for the overclocking crowd, liquid cooling has always been an option and vendors too have responded with designs that cater to this niche.
Compared to the motherboards that we witnessed in 1998, the last decade has rightly seen great innovative leaps in technology. Some of the tweaks that enthusiasts use on a daily basis now would be unimaginable to a similar crowd ten years ago. We have no doubts that with the changes in CPU technology, there will be more to come in the future. For now, enjoy our picks for some of the more important motherboard developments in the past ten years.

Risk-taking LSU reaps reward with comeback win over Gators
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Gambling at every opportunity, LSU managed to hold on to its No. 1 ranking.
Florida's hopes of another national title appear to be over after a remarkable Saturday night in Death Valley.
The Tigers barely converted a pair of fourth-down runs before Jacob Hester powered over from the 2-yard line with 1:09 remaining, completing a stunning comeback that gave LSU a 28-24 victory over the No. 9 Gators.
Tim Tebow shredded the nation's top-ranked defense for three quarters, giving Florida a 24-14 lead with 15 minutes remaining. He threw for a pair of touchdowns and ran for another.
But LSU kept rolling the dice and coming up with winners. The Tigers scored two touchdowns on fourth-down plays and another after pulling off a fake field goal. Then, on the game's decisive drive, they finally hit the jackpot.
Hester bulled his way into the end zone for LSU's first lead of the game. When the Tigers knocked down Tebow's final long pass in the end zone, the record crowd of 92,910 let out its biggest roar of all.
The Tigers are still No. 1. And, with second-ranked Southern California losing, there's no doubt about it.
Coach Les Miles should head straight to one of those casinos on the Mississippi River after this one.
Backup quarterback Ryan Perilloux scored on a fourth-and-goal run from the 1 in the second quarter. Starting quarterback Matt Flynn pulled off a fake field goal that led to Keiland Williams' 4-yard TD run in the third quarter. And Flynn tossed a 4-yard scoring pass to Demetrius Byrd on fourth-and-goal with 10:15remaining.
But the Tigers weren't done. Not by a longest of long shots.
First, with 7 minutes left and the ball on their side of midfield, LSU passed up a punt and went for it needing nearly 2 yards. Hester took the handoff and put his head down. The chains came on after he was tackled. First down by about the length of the football.
Then, with LSU facing fourth-and-1 at the Florida 6, Miles passed up a chip-shot field goal that might have forced overtime, apparently deciding that this was the night all the cards were going his way. Also, Colt David already had missed two attempts.
Hester got the ball again and dove forward. The chains came out again. Another first down with less than a yard to spare.
Finally, facing third-and-goal from just outside the 2, the Tigers did things the easy way. Hester took another handoff on virtually the same play that had worked twice before, falling into the end zone with his 23rd carry of the night.
Flynn leaped into the air and pumped his right fist. Touchdown, LSU.
Hester, who finished with 106 bruising yards, was shaken up on the winning score. But he finally got up and trotted off the field to another rousing ovation, the capper on another magical night at Tiger Stadium.
LSU improved to 30-2 at home over the last five years.
Tebow got the ball across midfield on the final possession. But his final, desperate heave was batted down in the back of the end zone.
Facing a defense that had two shutouts and was allowing less than 175 yards per game, Tebow passed for 158 yards and rushed for 75. But the Gators had two crucial turnovers in the second half, which allowed LSU to get back into the game after twice falling behind by 10 points.

Tools packaged into user experience, connectivity, and medical industry groups
Embedded systems company Wind River has packed up its portfolio of Android development tools into a single one-pot dish called Wind River Solution Accelerators.
The Intel subsidiary has grouped these software modules by theme and broken them into user experience, connectivity, and medical industry vertical-aligned solutions.
The user experience (UX) package features a hyper-boot component for accelerated Android boot time. Devices are claimed to "resume from RAM" in less than a second and "resume from Flash" in less than 8 seconds. This group also features an implementation of a Windows-style overlapping function for Android, which although probably not workable on smaller form factor devices, could prove interesting for future development.
The connectivity tools are focused on multimedia interoperability capabilities via the DLNA standard, SyncML support, and FM radio capabilities. Finally, the medical group now supports the IEEE 11073 stack and a Bluetooth health device protocol implementation and applications for medical sensor management and resulting data display, reporting, and communication.
Technical Note: The IEEE 11073 stack is the format for information exchange between personal health devices such as weight scales, blood pressure monitors, and blood oxygen monitors.
According to Wind River's Chris Buerger, these modules have been engineered around fast-paced technology release cycles, the competitive pressures to meet tight market deadlines, and the demand for differentiating features while staying on budget.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee State Men's and Women's golf teams opened the season at the Alabama State Fall Golf Classic in Prattville, Ala., over the Labor Day weekend. The Women finished second on the par-72, 6007-yard RTJ Golf Trail at Capitol Hill: Senator Course, while the men placed third on the par-72, 7003-yard course over the two-day event. The course played tough as each day presented its own challenges. Sunday was windy with gusts reaching 20-30 MPH while the golfers dealt with off-and-on again rain throughout the final day, with a heat index of 95.
The Women cut 55 strokes off their first day score to finish with a 344 on Monday and a two-day total of 743. Freshman Kelly Merkel used two birdies during the final round to shoot a team high 82 and finished fourth overall with a 170. Markel earned a spot on the all-tournament team in her first collegiate event.
After being disqualified on day one, junior Bria Norris returned on day two to finish with the fifth highest individual score (85) of the day. Amelia Dap carded a 183 (93-90) to tie for seventh individually, while freshman Sarah Needleman shot a day two 87, cutting 14 strokes off her day one total to finish with a 188. Chelsea Marlin rounded out the TSU squad with a 228.
"We had a rough first day, but bounced back with tenacity and had a great day," said head coach Chris Seibel. "It shows what they are capable of doing, but there are still a couple things we can work on and improve our game even more".
On the men's side, TSU shot an 18-over 306 on Sunday and followed up with a 21-over 309 for a 615 team total. Sophomore James Stepp led the Tigers with a two-day score of a 5-over 149 (74-75) and was named to the all-tournament team as he tied for fourth.
Sophomore transfer Shane Sampair tied for eighth as he posted a 10-over 154 (77-77) and finished just ahead of juniors Andrew Warner (77-79=156), who holed-out with a birdie, and Codie Welborn (78-78=156) who tied for tenth. Sophomore Matt Campbell had the squad's non-counting effort of 171 (88-83).
"We struggled on both days and we were not able to get into a groove." Seibel commented. "It really shows what we need to work on, but we have a couple of weeks before we head to Atlanta where we will need to be ready to bounce back".
The Women will take to the course on September 16 as they travel to Ledbetter, Ky., to compete in the Murray State Drake Creek Invitational. The men return to the links on September 28 as they travel to Atlanta, Ga., for the National Black Hall of Fame Golf Tournament.

Boy with Down syndrome part of winning team
He's always at basketball practices and games, and on Friday night he finally got to join his teammates on the court to play.
Sidge Taylor is a student with Down syndrome. He usually helps the Eustis High School boys junior varsity team courtside as an assistant coach.
"Sidge works so hard helping me out," coach Marlin Vilius said. "Helping with the team, always positive."
For the final game of the season, Sidge was an on-court all-star. It was a surprise and a dream realized.
"He's a wonderful kid," Sidge's father, Mark Taylor said. "There's nothing that will be able to replace this moment in my life."
"He loves the camaraderie of that team feeling, and so the fact the team did it is going to be way up there on his list of memories," Sidge's mother, Claudette Graham, said.
His teammates said they were excited all week to surprise him.
"He always gets us hyped, encourages us," teammate Tyler Hays said.
His coach considers him a little brother.
"I just want to show everybody that everybody can do it and we're all the same," Vilius said.
Sidge sported a full uniform and sunk several shots throughout the game, to the sounds of a cheering crowd.
Eustis won the game, but the real win, Sidge's parents and coach said, was seeing him smile.
Sidge summed it all up simply.
"Tonight is awesome," he said.

Toronto interior decorator Holly Dyment has been featured, over the course of her twenty-five-year career, on television, in design and decorating magazines including Canadian House & Home and Style At Home and in Canada's national newspaper, Toronto's the Globe and Mail. While expert in overseeing every aspect of residential design, she is widely acclaimed for her fearless use of colour—on walls, ceilings, floors, cabinetry, upholstery and accessories—and her skill at mixing patterns and textures in a single room, a series of rooms, or an entire apartment or house. Her fine art background (she studied at Bennington College in Vermont) and training in graphic design have given her the tools to move beyond the use of conventional hues and old-school rules about which colours look 'appropriate' together. She loves the dazzling combination of orange and purple, for instance, or pink and red, or gray and lilac… the list goes on and on. After Holly's worked her magic, the results are rooms that are inspiring, warm, modern and unique but, at the same time, ones that never look eccentric or—the worst sin—unlivable.

Justin & Selena are taking their red-hot romance on the road — and fans are loving their reunion!
It's official: Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's reunion is an international affair. Just days after Selena hopped on a flight to see Justin in Oslo, Norway, the pair was spotted leaving the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden on April 22 — and there were legions of Beliebers and Selenators waiting for their favorite stars outside!
A fan-filmed video captured Justin, Selena and several other members of Justin's entourage slipping casually into a waiting van — not that Justin and Selena can really do anything 'casually' these days, but hey, they gave it their best shot.
Why Selena Gomez Took Back Justin Bieber
When reports first surfaced that Justin and Selena had reconciled, HollywoodLife.com started digging, and we found out the real reason Selena decided to give her ex-boyfriend a second chance: "She was lonely!"
Our source explained that Selena had no problem being apart from Justin while she was busy promoting Spring Breakers with Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens — but as soon as her schedule slowed down, she found herself missing that sweet Bieber love.
Justin Bieber Is Fully Devoted To Selena Gomez
And we've got some good news for formerly "lonely" Selena: Justin is ready to commit himself 100 percent to his on-again girlfriend!
"Justin is not listening to anyone and is only interested in Selena and being with her," another source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
It seems that, whatever Justin did to make Selena break up with him in the first place, he's definitely learned his lesson — and we couldn't be happier to see 'Jelena' back together again!

Gen-i to invest in new Wellington and Auckland data centres
Gen-i to invest in new Wellington and Auckland data
New facilities will extend Gen-i's data centre and cloud capabilities to meet growth needs of business and public sector clients
Auckland – 29 November 2012 – Gen-i has today announced the company will build new greenfield data centres in Wellington and Auckland. This follows Gen-i's recent investment in a new Christchurch data centre, currently being developed in partnership with Christchurch International Airport.
This new investment in data centres forms part of Gen-i's strategy to help clients take advantage of ICT applications and services that leverage the rollout of UFB, and will expand its existing nationwide network of 14 data centres in cities and regional centres, linked by fibre, copper and mobile networks.
The two new data centres will complement Gen-i's existing Wellington and Auckland facilities, providing businesses with a range of data hosting and networking services, particularly for clients who cannot take their data outside New Zealand due to security and regulatory compliance concerns.
The new Wellington data centre will be built to a modular design that provides for two stages, with delivery in 2014/15. It will have initial capacity for 350 racks, with the capability to scale up to deliver a high density 700 rack capacity as required.
The new Auckland data centre will be built to a modular design that provides for three stages, with delivery in mid-2014. It will have an initial 350 rack capacity, with the capability to scale up to deliver a 1000 rack capacity as required.
Both new facilities will incorporate the key data centre design principles of resilience, energy efficiency and future flexibility.
They will feature a highly resilient infrastructure design with a heavy focus on energy efficiency (PUE) and footprint, advanced environmental monitoring and physical security, supported by Gen-i's 24x7x365 management processes.
Jo Allison, CEO (acting) of Gen-i Australasia, said the new data centres are part of Gen-i and Telecom's ongoing investment in quality infrastructure to support demand from New Zealand business and Government for ICT services.
"We are seeing a growth in demand for data centre space in both Wellington and Auckland, driven by the increasing uptake of cloud services and the exponential growth of data," said Allison. "We're committed to supporting our clients' growth by continuing to invest in quality new infrastructure alongside innovative new services," she said.
"With the rollout of new fibre and mobile networks across New Zealand, more and more businesses are looking for ICT solutions that harness fibre speeds to deliver exciting new applications in areas such as cloud, mobility, video and collaboration," said Allison. "The two new Gen-i data centres we've announced today will play a key role in delivering these solutions to our clients."

The Phoenix Suns have traded point guard Sebastian Telfair to the Toronto Raptors for Hamed Haddadi and a second round pick, according to reports from Ken Berger and Chris Broussard. Broussard cited a source that said the deal was done.
As the Suns dropped to the bottom of the Western Conference, Telfair fell out of the playing rotation as Phoenix started giving rookie Kendall Marshall more minutes. With another young guard in Diante Garrett available for minutes, the Suns would do well to pry a second-round pick from a team that could use Telfair as insurance for the rest of the season. Telfair is making around $1.6 million in the last year of his contract this season.

Alex and Kimberlee were the sitters at the HDTS HQ this weekend – Saturdays at the HQ always go by really quickly! Brian Boswoth came in with some porcelain succulent planters that were cast in in the shape of rocks for us to sell (Alex and Kimberlee both immediately each bought one) and we did a "product shoot" of some of our new goods that I had gotten from Chuck Moffit – I'm going to send this out as an email announcement so I hope he doesn't panic when he sees our unorthodox treatment of his artworks (no white glove handling in this place).
Saturday at the HQ
3 Comments On "Saturday at the HQ"
Dear Andrea, The HDTS philosophy is very interesting and I'd love to have a go at doing a piece on location; to script a short video-performance for Scenes for a 'Smoker's Theatre'…How are the artists selected? Thanks, Gary
Hi Gary, I'm assuming that you have already checked out the website http://www.highdeserttestsites.com When you are ready, you can send us a proposal for either a long term site-based project that will go on our driving map, or for the curated HDTS event that happens roughly every 18 months.
There are no deadlines for proposals, and we will keep them on record so that if they are not chosen by a curator of one year's event they are still eligible to be chosen for something else later on. Also everything should be sent as PDFs (that will print at 8.5 x 11″) to firstname.lastname@example.com. We will print them out and add them to our proposal archive at the HQ. Thanks! Andrea
hi Andrea, Thanks. I'll put a proposal together. Best wishes. Gary

Woman gang-raped, ornaments looted
The three were arrested yesterday from their villages in Keonjhar district in connection with the incident that took place on Tuesday.
The married woman from Cuttack, who had gone to her younger sister's house in Jajpur district, was waiting for a bus to return to the town at Solei Chhak when one of the accused Subha alias Papu offered her a lift in his SUV, police said.
The woman was then taken to a forest at Ghatagaon in neighbouring Keonjhar district where she was allegedly sexually assaulted by Papu, Manas Das and Sujit Ghadei.
She was robbed of her gold ornaments and mobile phone and left unconscious.
When she regained consciousness, she took a bus home from Ghatagaon-Anadapur road and later lodged a complaint at the Jajpur Road police station on Wednesday.
IIC of Jajpur Road police station Aswini Kumar Sahu said all the accused were held and the woman's ornaments and mobile phone recovered.
The result of a medical examination of both the aggrieved and the accused are awaited, he said.

You would think that three professional baseball players—who are forced to spend a good chunk of their lives in baseball stadiums—would find somewhere, anywhere else to be during one of their precious off days. Not Jonny Gomes, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and Dustin Pedroia. Those bros just can't get enough baseball.
You'll notice the three Red Sox players in the upper left-hand corner of the screencap above, just taking in the game like three guys playing hooky from work. If nothing else, this is a savvy PR move for them, as some Boston Globe columnist is bound to pick up on this and point to it as evidence that these guys have a real thirst for the game.
And yes, they did treat themselves to some giant hot dogs.

Now that Laurel Nakadate and James Franco have teamed up for a Performa fest project, they're going to have sex, indubitably. Unless they already have. Even this tiny preview pic is so loaded with sexual tension, looking into their simmering eyes make you feel like a third.
Some further support for this scientific guess: He's an actor turned suddenly a successful artist and documentary pornographer and she's a performance artist some think is an actress and everything she does is exhibitionist. So, they're talented attention whores who people either love or hate and they're attractiveness compatible-ish. They're going to be doing a séance in NYC's Elysée Hotel in the room in which Tennessee Williams died and then staging pretend The Glass Menagerie auditions, sucking off each others' acting and art work cred, respectively. That's pretty intimate. Together, they could make the most love-it-or-hate-it child ever. Or work.

Last Sunday, much virtual ink and digital storage space was spilled/filled discussing whether or not FOX broadcaster Joe Buck was going to make it back from announcing the Giants-49ers NFL game in time to call the Cardinals-Giants NLCS Game 1. This utterly pointless conversation ended in moderately cute fashion, with Buck arriving by cable car even though, as many San Franciscans pointed out, there are no cable cars (hardly the most efficient means of travel for someone in a hurry, anyway) from the south part of the city, meaning that the whole thing was just a photo op. But hey, that's television.
The major takeaway from the Sunday stunt, as far as everyone I talk to, was: Why is Joe Buck calling either of these games? For a guy who is, by nature and strategy, as milquetoast and inoffensive as one can imagine, Buck might be the most polarizing broadcaster in all of sports. The man is as reliable an Internet punching bag as you can find; just hop on Twitter sometime when Buck is calling a game and check it out, if you dare. (I suspect that Buck has done this, which is probably why he doesn't tweet anymore. I wouldn't be able to take it either.)
I am the guy who founded Deadspin, after all, so everyone always expects me to hate Joe Buck. But I don't. In fact, I think he does as well as anyone reasonably could with one of the most high-profile, visible jobs in sports. I like him. I'm pretty sure his broadcast of Game 6 of the World Series last year was a master class in live sports coverage; he knew exactly when to talk, exactly when not to and exactly when to make the precise call he'd surely been waiting his whole life to make.
All told, I've always been a bit baffled as to why he's so unpopular. So I surveyed a bunch of Buck haters -- it was not difficult to find them -- to hear the primary reasons, and to see whether or not I could refute them. So here goes.
1. He's smug. Buck has a certain tone in his voice that I suspect he believes comes off as wry -- and probably does to people who know him and/or already like him -- but to the average viewer, it can seem arch and superior. I don't think Buck is particularly more smug than every other person on television (which is to say, he's probably pretty smug for an average human, but on the lower end of the scale for a professional broadcaster). But if you don't like that sense of humor, maybe he's not for you. I actually find Buck's dryness a lot funnier than almost any other sports personality who tries to be humorous, though considering I'm sort of putting him against Frank Caliendo and Tony Siragusa here, this is not a particularly high bar to clear.
2. He doesn't get excited enough. This is probably the Gus Johnson Principle, the idea that something amazing will happen in a game and Buck won't even change his vocal inflection. (The most famous example of this has to be David Tyree's catch in the Super Bowl.) Buck has clearly made an effort to be more energetic in recent years -- particularly after losing his voice last year -- so you don't hear as much about this anymore, but all told, this is a reason to like Buck, not to hate him. A lot of this is a matter of taste, I grant you, but I will take someone like Buck having a legitimate, honest, non-bloviating reaction to a sports moment than Gus Johnson bursting into flames because someone moves the chains on a second-and-1 plunge. (You should know that I am not a fan of Johnson, whom I think of as the Jeff George of broadcasting, a hired gun brought in to make a lot of noise who ultimately just makes things worse.) I'll take understatement over screaming any day of the week. Also, unlike Johnson, Buck appears to have done at least a modicum of research on the teams playing the game he's broadcasting rather than just sort of hopping in off the street and yelling.
3. He's moralistic and priggish. Buck absolutely is not moralistic or priggish, but it's still hard to say he doesn't have this coming. Fact is, he'll never live down that Randy Moss "that is a disgusting act" call. I've never quite understood what Buck was thinking there. Did he believe Moss had really pulled his pants down? Did someone at FOX tell him to start adding in a moral component to his broadcasts and he overreacted? Did he have a stroke? The world may never know. But this call, unfortunately for Buck, is going to go on his gravestone.
4. He likes baseball more than football. This is probably true, but, frankly, this is probably true of most broadcasters: Football is rarely the first broadcast choice for anybody. (It's hard to spot the ball, there are a million things going on that are impossible to describe, no one will ever be better than Pat Summerall, and so on.) No one ever says, "I hate Jim Nantz! He totally likes golf more than football," even though he totally does. Fact is, Buck's dad, Jack -- who, full disclosure, I desperately wanted to be growing up -- received this same criticism when he broadcasted NFL games on the radio with Hank Stram. Football people always resent baseball people, probably because we like a better sport than they do.
5. He's on television all the time. This is the main reason. Fact is, Buck has been calling every NFC Championship Game, a third of the Super Bowls and every World Series for almost 16 years now. (His first World Series was in 1996; his first Super Bowl was in 2005.) Buck has been the soundtrack to an unusually high percentage of sports' most memorable moments during a time when social media has exploded and fans have more of a voice to complain and vent than ever before. I guarantee you that had Twitter and blogs existed when Vin Scully was doing national games, or Bob Costas and Tony Kubek did the Game of the Week, or Howard Cosell was doing "Monday Night Football," they would have thought everyone hated them, too. (Can you imagine Twitter with Cosell? Lord.)
Annoying fans is one of the primary job descriptions of a broadcaster. More fans see and hear Joe Buck than any other broadcaster in the country. Therefore, he annoys more of them. He's doing his job.
So yeah: I like Joe Buck. You should, too.

Why DNFs Are So Important In GeoCaching

So True.
Pays to let the owner know by a log that there have been problems with there cache

I understand that DNFs are important, but currently I'm not experienced enough to make the difference between a DNF due to the state of the cache or a DNF due to my inexperience or stupidity. In the beginning, I had to go back five times before I found a cache. It's better now, but not good enough to judge on the cache itself.
- January 15, 2009 at 6:11 AM

Good point,
In the beginning I would log more DNF knowing my lack of cache-sense was the main cause but I think geocache owners will see number of finds and look more at number of DNFs in a row from multiple geocachers. In my case there were a bunch with geocachers that had 3000 or 4000 finds. If this happens with my caches I check them regardless.

I always post DNFs. No matter if they are 1/1s or something else. Heck, it might be because I couldn't find it. They are helpful either way.
Even if just starting, log 'em. It's part of the game. Just make that as a note with the DNF -- "Looked 20 minutes, but I'm inexperienced so it could just be me." Either way, it's a record of what happens at that site.
DNFs are very important to this game. I always encourage everyone to post them. They aren't a badge of dishonor. Heck, sometimes, it's a badge of honor for the cache hider!

I completely agree with your stance on DNFs.
I've read quite a mix of opinions about posting "needs maintenance." I think I would avoid that, unless the cache was in obvious disrepair.
Shame that people will blatantly disregard the simple instructions that are typically written on, and in, every cache.

BERLIN- The Berlin Dolphins collected their first-ever win in the their first season in the New Castle County Winter Football League, beating the NCCFL Saints, 20-6.
The Dolphins, an all-star team of 14-17 year olds, joined the New Castle Winter League this year for the first time and quickly notched their first win. Quarterback Colin Macomber hit D.J. Kee with a 68-yard touchdown pass and the two-point conversion was successful, putting Berlin up 8-0 early in the game. A short time later, Kee took a direct snap and dashed 75 yards for a touchdown to put Berlin ahead, 14-0, late in the second quarter.
After a scoreless third quarter, the Saints got on the board with a 45-yard touchdown run behind a massive, 300-pound-plus offensive lineman to cut Berlin's lead to 14-6. That was as close as New Castle would get, however, as the Dolphins closed out the scoring with a 72-yard touchdown pass from Macomber to Kee to put Berlin ahead for good, 20-6.
Berlin Coach Ron Bireley praised his defense, led by Markell Purnell, Shazza Lovell, John Rich and Aaron Moore. "Those guys really stepped up defensively and made plays behind the line of scrimmage despite facing the Saints' massive front line," he said.

Critical as I tend to be, I'd say he takes pix as almost everybody else does these days: Mediocre stuff, nothing special. Fair enough - Felix has other interests, and photography has never really gotten into his system.
Once in a while, however, Felix leaves me absolutely flabbergasted when I see the type of images he could take if he only had the burning passion to become a real photographer. One that always has the images and their composition already in his head before actually seeing them in the viewfinder.
The photograph Felix sent me today from his BlackBerry phone is, to me, the irrefutable proof that he is indeed talented. Felix recorded what has been called the hallmark of Henri Cartier-Bresson's work: Squeezing the shutter at the decisive moment.
Here is another fabulous shot taken by Felix, free-diving somewhere in the Bahamas:
And this one is, in his father's most humble opinion, the very best he has ever done. It could have made me utterly jealous for not having taken it myself - but it didn't as the credit for it stays in the family... :-)

I am planning on purchasing a HVLP spray gun and I am wondering what everyone else's opinion is on this type of gun. I have never used this type of gun yet, but would like to paint my HOTROD this following summer with one. I looked at a Craftsman model but the plastic paint can (where you put the paint) seemed kind of small (smaller than the conventional type) are they all smaller? Can you run the gun completely empty with this type (eliminating paint waste)? How much air pressure would you generally use for HVLP? Does the paint cover more area/go further with HVLP? What else can you tell me about this type of gun? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANYBODYS ADVICE........
All the pro painters out there will stomp all over me for this suggestion but look at the Harbor Frieght 2 quart pressure pot HVLP. I have painted half a dozen cars with mine and love it. Cost is usually less than $100 (a fraction of the pro Binks, etc.), the free paint head makes painting a car from many weird angles a snap, and the 2 quart cup holds enough paint to do a whole coat w/o stopping. The quality is excellent and the design is a direct rip-off of the high priced units so performance is acceptable too. Obviously, if I were a pro and did high production work, I would spring for the top of the line equipment. For the hobbiest though, can't beat the Harbor Freight unit.
Ok, boys start stomping!!
willys is right, these guns are really getting affordable. you don't have to spend a lot money but make sure that your gun is really adjustable so you can fine-tune your spray, ie. air in, paint volume, pattern nozzle, etc.
psi is usually around 35-40psi going into the gun with about 7-9 coming out the nozzle. don't forget to use a watertrap filter.
I use a Craftsman from Sears.I have sprayed a bunch of paint with it and it dose great. Think it was about 100 bucks.
I bought my hvlp from a semilocal paint store,$90. Advantage brand. I really like how it sprays, never have used a highdollar gun, but the hvlp gun in the harbour freight catalog(#43430-2jja) with the cup on top looks just like mine. I've even thought about buying one to compare.(probably made in the same factory in taiwan)but for what I do it should suffice.
Thats the type I looked at, it was a Sears Craftsman model. It was $130.00 and I coudn't justify spending that much on a gun without knowing how well they work. The gun I am currently using is a conventional type Campbell Hausfield model and they are sold at Wal-Mart for under $40.00. Regardless of the price,I have done some VERY good paint jobs with it. I wonder if it pays to have an expensive gun!!!
do u know what HVLP means? are u wanting a gravity fed or suction? in my opinion gravity fed is 100x's better.
hvlp. Is high volume low pressure. Gravity fed hvlp guns transfer about 75 to 80%of material in the gun to the car siphon feed guns transfer about 60 to 65%.So the material savings are a lot with the price of paint.The other thing thats nice is less overspray if your painting in the garage its not as foggy.They make a lot of different tip sizes if your going to buy one gun try to get a 1.5 or 1.6.
From a person who paints everyday, cheap guns are for primer. I have two sata nr95 and two nr2000. They cost about 400 bucks a piece. I use 1.5 tips for sealer, solids and metallics then a 1.3 tip for clearcoats. I have used cheap guns before and you cant beat the quality of these guns. Ive had both of my nr95 for 4 years and they still work like new after using them everyday. Not saying you need guns like mine but you definitly get what you pay for.
What kind of difference does the tip make? Bigger for thicker and smaller for thinner??????Gravity feed is the type I'm interested in. Also,if you just want to paint something small, I am assuming you can mix just a little without having to throw any away like the conventional type because since you have the keep the gun level you can't siphon all the paint out of the can. Am I right or wrong???
[ January 17, 2003: Message edited by: STATUTORY GRAPE ]

Gravity feed guns will use less paint because like you said you can run your gun dry. You dont have any extra like the siphon feed. Tip size makes a difference depending on what your spraying. The smaller the tip the more the paint will be atomized by the gun. This helps reduce your orange peel. Use to big of a tip and the paint will come out in bigger droplets leaving you with to much build and a more orange peel look. I found 1.5 works good for basecoats and sealers and 1.3 for clear. If you dont want to use two guns, some companies make a 1.4 that would work well for an all around gun.
What about the can, plastic vs. aluminum vs. titanium. Will the plastic can warp from thinner over time, causing it to not seal properly? Which is the easiest to keep clean?
I like aluminum after a while you can use a little stripper to clean it up.
The Sata 2000 gun is the best HVLP top loader gun on the market. I've been painting almost everyday for 30 yrs. & have tried most guns. The cheaper HVLP guns do not put out enough paint to do a complete repaint. Too small of a spray pattern - you will get a blister on your trigger finger.....try a Sata(most paint suppliers like PPG will loan you one).....Don
If you don't have enough air to drive your hvlp gun you will be very unhappy with it. Most hvlp guns require very high cfm to function properly. One option open to you is the new "high transfer" or "reduced pressure" guns. There are two companys building them, Sata and DeVilbiss. The Sata is caleed an RP and sprays nice but is very expensive and the DeVilbiss is called the Plus gun and it sprays better at a better price, msrp $389.00. The DeVilbiss comes with three different fluid tips for various products and the Sata comes with one. These guns will give you the material savings of the hvlp with a transfer of 70-80% but act and feel like a conventional gun and they use less air, 30lbs in with 10cfm.

Committee Opinion Number 385, November 2007
Reaffirmed 2019
ABSTRACT: Health care providers occasionally may find that providing indicated, even standard, care would present for them a personal moral problem—a conflict of conscience—particularly in the field of reproductive medicine. Although respect for conscience is important, conscientious refusals should be limited if they constitute an imposition of religious or moral beliefs on patients, negatively affect a patient's health, are based on scientific misinformation, or create or reinforce racial or socioeconomic inequalities. Conscientious refusals that conflict with patient well-being should be a...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The pace of growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector hit a one-year-low in October as factory output slowed sharply, an industry report showed on Friday.
Financial data firm Markit said its final U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index stood at 51.8 last month. That was better than an initial estimate of 51.1 but still a point below September's reading and the worst final showing since October, 2012.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector
A sharp slowdown in output, which at 50.6 was the lowest in 13 months, was the main drag on growth. The subindex stood at 55.3 in September. New orders from domestic customers also slowed, though overseas demand rose slightly.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said a partial government shutdown in the first half of October likely contributed to the slowdown in output and growth.
Firms hired workers at a slightly faster rate in October, however, with the subindex rising to 52.7 from 51.3.
Williamson said that might suggest manufacturing's woes in October will prove temporary.
"However, even the faster growth of employment remains only modest, consistent with barely any increase in official data on manufacturing payrolls," he said.
Job growth in the broader U.S. economy was tepid in September, and economists polled by Reuters expect a government report due on November 8 to show hiring slowed further in October.
The Markit data has lately painted a gloomier picture of the manufacturing sector than data from the Institute for Supply Management, which showed U.S. factories saw their fastest pace of growth in nearly 2-1/2 years in September.
The ISM will release its October index at 10 a.m. on Friday.
The two surveys use some different methodologies, including one related to seasonal adjustment.

The pool will get a "dry run" on Saturday, July 10 at an open house for members of the community. The open house will feature drawings and door prizes and the chance to become the first swimmer when the pool opens for swimming on Monday, July 12.
On July 12, there will be no charge to swim during the free swim periods from 1 to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 9 p.m.
The new pool was made possible, in part, by local schoolchildren, who donated one million pennies for the project. The dedication of the local students helped convince other organizations, such as San Juan County, the Eccles Foundation, and the Utah Community Impact Board, to make the contributions that were necessary for the new pool.
A community-wide sales tax, approved by voters in 2008, will also help operate the facility, which is expected to be open from May through September each year.
The new facility replaces the old community pool, which was built in the 1950s and was demolished over one year ago after serving the community for more than 50 years.
The San Juan Record is interested in collecting memories of the old swimming pool. Please send your memories to the paper at PO Box 879, Monticello, UT 84535 or via email to email@example.com.

Inside Die Walküre @ SF Opera: A Photo-Narrative
Being a part of Francesca Zambello's production of Die Walküre has raised the bar for me yet again on my operatic excursions as a "Super" at the San Francisco Opera. CHECK!…another dream fulfilled. This time Wagner! When I pass over the scratched and worn stage floor, I still pinch myself and marvel at all the legends who have left their mark in this hallowed place. Here's a photo-narrative glimpse into this exciting production, and my wonderful world of Wagner.
Yes, True Wagnerians Still Walk the Earth
When's the last time you saw a Wagner opera and weren't wishing singers of the past were instead onstage? Well, it would be hard to best this nearly peerless cast, particularly in today's international crop. Eva-Marie Westbroek as Sieglinde is utter perfection, with a refulgent, voluminous voice, and yet, there's such a naturalness to her delivery, it's as if she's speaking. She exudes considerable warmth in her very convincing acting expressions, and as one reviewer said, she couldn't play the victim better. She also couldn't look the part more (as evidenced by this glowing photo). She, and all the principals are a joy backstage too. Given the pressure they're under to perform a VERY difficult piece, that's quite a testimony.
In her debut as the Walküre Brünnhilde, Nina Stemme delivers the much expected stamina and bravado, but never betrays her beauty of tone, or pushes outside her "column of sound." She uses her slighter stature and strong connection to her body to paint an authentically youthful and feisty characterization. No, she doesn't erase memories of Nilsson's vocal sword throwing in the highest reaches of "Ho-jo-to-ho!," but she has a far darker, warmer, and more alluring tone, and greater physicality than Nilsson.
Mark Delavan is tireless, and the model of godly alpha-male strength as Wotan. At times he sings with a legato line, but other times chews up and spits out the german consonants to portray anger, or when commanding others. Backstage, he's the funniest opera personality I've ever been around…cracking up the Supers without fail, with his disarming humor. Enjoy his perspective on Wotan, and at times refreshingly irreverent sense of humor in this interview.
Christopher Ventris as Siegmund is in the Heppner/Windgassen vein, having a brighter, not baritonal Heldentenor tone. However, he is easily heard, and has plenty of thrust to cut through the orchestra. He and Eva-Marie make an appealing and very engaged duo. Ray Aceto as Hunding is genuinely scary and imposing, and wields a very satisfying black basso. Janina Baechle as Fricka doesn't erase vocal memories of Marjana Lipovšek ('95), but she is quite perfect in this production's conception of this role, and is fully and excitingly committed.
Act I
In this Act I play one of Hunding's thuggish *insert grunt here* kinsmen, returning from a day of hunting. I carry in a giant plastic-wrapped meat pack, which I immediately throw to Hunding. (Yes, me, the one who couldn't throw a ball to save his life as a kid…WHY?!) We all threaten Siegmund with our rifles when he hesitates Hunding's commands. (I'm at bottom left.) Later Sieglinde ladles us up some slop (aka bloodied plastic cubes) from a giant pot, presumably whipped up from the meat I tossed. Mmm-mmm good! Another Super carries a rope with two rather sad, dangling fowl. Not surprisingly, the kinsmen have been likened to the "Michigan Militia," present-day paramilitary thugs.

Embarassing House Photo Included
Case in point, my fireplace. Up until a few weeks ago, it had a gold insert. Yes, a gold insert! It was horrible and I lived with it for nearly 10 years. "What is wrong with her?" you are asking right now. I don't know. There's really no excuse. But now, it can't stop there. The fireplace wall (and more than that I know) needs to be addressed. So, lately what I'm contemplating is do I paint the wall on either side of the brick? Do I throw a bunch of stuff on the skinny little mantle, put logs in the fireplace, wait until I can replace the carpet, metal mini blinds (I know!) and television stand?
As always, there are limitations. Things like cash and Husband's agreement. Little things like that. So, round and round I go with all of the options. I think this is the explanation for 10 years of the golden beauty. Now, of course, if this was a friend's house and she asked me what I suggested, easy. I'd have a solution. Not so sometimes at home. Yikes.

Oh dear! That golden star does look rather out of place.
Just a suggestion but you could get rid of the whole upper area of the brickwork. Either paint it white as someone else said or plaster it. The excess brick doesn't really do much for your interior by the looks of things especially with that rather faux pattern work where the star is attached.
Then you can get a mantelpiece and acquire some nice wall art to go above. The closest image I can find to highlight what I mean is this: http://www.ecostoves.co.uk/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/.pond/stone_fireplaces_020.jpg.w300h378.jpg
Sorry, long link.
It should then make that complete area less heavy, more lighter and with possibilities to add a lot of colour. However, it would be quite an expensive option. Although you can probably find very cheap and simple wooden beams to act as a mantelpiece that can then be painted.
Wow, now I am getting excited over your living room. By the way, I am also a stickler for checking my sitemeter stats. ;-)

Ok, I have studied it for a while now and if it where me, I would paint the firefplace the same color as the wall, it looks like a creamy color. Then you will have a fresh canvas that you can change over and over again. I would also trim out the windows and do some sheers so you still have the light but privacy. Just so ya know, my whole house is cream with white trim and I am always changing it when I get bored but I never feel like I need to repaint it. Fresh canvas. Good Luck, Heidi
