The last time I took a seat in the blogging chair (which in reality is a wooden stool at a work bench in the middle of the shop) was a couple of months ago as we finished up "Buried Treasure" and before our big annual trip to Long's Park Art & Craft Festival in Lancaster, PA. Labor Day weekend the one time a year we break down and load up all of the immensely heavy speculation furniture pieces we have into a horse trailer and set it up under a tent in a beautiful park for the world to see/sit/touch/buy. Care to hear about it? Cool, because I'm going to tell you about it.
Tents For Rent, our necessarily enormous tent was set up and ready to go so we just had to unwrap and assemble everything we had brought. It's the finer details that tend to take the longest- hanging lights, unwrapping moving blankets, attaching the price tags, assembling the 'Apprentice's Corner', and doing the final polishing. All in all though, I'd say (with the gracious help of my dear friend Abby and one of our stellar alumni Jimmy) we did a good job setting up a rockin' tent. Before we pull down the sides of the tent and tuck the furniture in for the night before show day #1, we all crack a beer and cheers to the hope of good weather, big crowds, fun times, and lots of sales!
The weekend was not only fun, but also a success for the Lohr Woodworking Studio. "Buried Treasure", the live edge walnut coffee table with a twenty year old walnut captured in the crotch of the slab, was sold before we even wrapped it up to bring it to the park. One of our alumni called up and bought it as a wedding present for his son before the public got the chance. Thanks, Dan! Beyond that, we said goodbye while the Bowmans said hello to Jeff's brown oak burl cocktail table which was made from what small bits remain of the infamous all-burl oak log that came to us from the UK to make "Resurrection" and "Frontier". Rob's ghost/ambrosia maple coffee table found it's forever home with a favorite loyal Lohr School of Woodworking alumni, Rob & his wife Deb (although I think it's safe to say the decision to snag the table was all hers). I even managed to sell a few smaller pieces from my Apprentice's Corner!
A HUGE thank you to the organizers of the Long's Park Art & Craft Festival, the festival goers, the fellow artists, and especially the people who fell in love with our work enough to take it home with them. Cheers to the end of a beautiful summer and the start of a cool autumn. Keep your eyes open for upcoming posts on several projects we have starting up for this winter!
[Inside Scoop: There's a desk, a veneer cabinet, a Woodcraft Magazine article, and maybe even the start of a new show room in the works for winter- and that's just the beginning!]

Q: I'm planning to visit the National Firearms Museum in May when I come to the Washington, D.C., area. My buddy told me to make sure I see the gun on display that actually came to America on the Mayflower. What kind of firearm is it, and what do we know about its owner?
A: Yes, we have it! The gun your friend is referring to is a wheellock carbine that was owned by John Alden, one of the Pilgrim leaders of Plymouth Colony. Alden embarked on the Mayflower as a 20-year-old cooper and joined Captain Miles Standish's militia to defend the settlers from outside attacks.
This single-shot arm was originally a .50-caliber rifle, but extensive use has removed almost all traces of rifling. It was discovered during the restoration of Alden's home in Duxbury, Mass., in 1924 and is typical of many arms possessed by early New England settlers. Alden's home was occupied by members of his family from 1653 through 1896. This home survived nearly 350 years without being ravaged by fire, a common fate of early American residences.

How To Connect To Your Terminal Server With Windows Mobile
One of the benefits of using operating systems from the same company is that they have a certain level of compatibility. What this means is that it should be an easy task to connect to a Windows server with a Windows computer and check what is going on, using Terminal Services or its successor Remote Desktop.
This compatibility goes beyond desktop devices however. If you own a Windows Mobile, Pocket PC or other Windows CE handset, you will find that there is also a way of connecting such a device to your server for remote administration.
Benefits Of Remote Server Access
Long gone are the days in which a system administrator would have to skulk in a freezing cold server room, hunched up over a server stack console tapping away on the slide-out keyboard and deftly manipulating the trackball. Thanks to the remote tools that have appeared since Windows 2000 Server, it is possible to launch utilities and software remotely, check server status, monitor anti-virus software, for instance, and much more.
The following sections explain how to connect with a Windows Mobile device to Terminal Services on Windows 2000 servers and Remote Desktop on Windows 2003 and later servers. Note that a network connection – either Wi-Fi or mobile Internet – is required for either of these solutions to work.
Terminal Services & Windows 2000
If you're using a Windows 2000 server, in order to connect your Windows Mobile/Windows CE device to your Terminal Server, you will need the Windows 2000 Server CD-ROM where you will find the Mobile Terminal Server tool. Should the disc not be readily available, you can find the software on the ZDnet website (free signup required). Sadly due to the arrival of Windows Phone, the link to download the software from Microsoft has been removed.
Once you have this software, connect your Windows Mobile device to a computer with ActiveSync installed and then run the downloaded setup.exe software, which will install the terminal client on your device.
On your Windows Mobile handset, open Start > Programs > Terminal Server Client and name the connection, followed by the server name or IP address. In some cases DNS issues will prevent the successful resolution of the server name, so an IP address is usually recommended.
Tap Next, then Log on automatically, inputting the username, password and domain. Note that if you don't select the automatic logon, you will need to sign in each time you start the connection.
After clicking Next, you will then have access to the server. Use Display Desktop to view the full desktop or Launch application for a specific program. Click Finish to end the setup and launch the connection.
Setting Up a Remote Desktop Connection On Windows Server 2003 & Later
For servers running Windows 2003 or later, you will need to use the Remote Desktop client that is native to Windows Mobile 5 and later. Sadly this didn't ship on some versions but is available on the web – one such link is this one – which must be copied to your mobile device and then executed to install. Note that this must be installed to your mobile's main storage, not a memory card, as you may experience issues with keyboard interaction.
Once installed, the application will be available in the Programs menu on your phone.
You can set up the remote by first configuring your Windows desktop or server OS to accept incoming connections. Right-click Computer, select Properties > Remote Settings and on the Remote tab select Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure). You can switch to the more secure option later after establishing the basic connection, if necessary.
Next, load the RDP application on your phone, add the IP address of the device you're connecting to (whether a Windows server or a Windows computer) under the Computer field and then provide the username, password and domain for the account. Tap Connect and the software will then establish a connection, allowing you to view the desktop of the remote computer.
What About Windows Phone?
Surprising as it may seem, these instructions are purely for Windows Mobile/Pocket PC devices. You might have a handheld PDA or mobile phone that hasn't been replaced with a more up-to-date device due to a lack of funding or simply because you have other legacy requirements that necessitate the continued use of one of these devices.
Sadly there is no option on the new Windows Phone platform – native or third party – for accessing the old Terminal Server. In order to use one of these devices (such as the Nokia Lumia phones), you will need to install dedicated remote desktop software on the server and phone and spend a lot more time configuring this than you would using a Windows Mobile device. Furthermore, none of the RDP solutions for Windows Phone are currently free.
The ease with which it is possible to set up a Terminal Services server connection with a Windows Mobile or other Windows CE device is testament to the way in which various Windows devices can communicate and enable corporate users and developers to get the most out of the various operating systems.
It really shouldn't take more than a few minutes to establish a connection with your server via the Remote Desktop Protocol, and once this is done you will have the ability to access the tools and documents stored there from anywhere, providing you have an Internet connection for your Windows Mobile device.

A top-five priority for the Thompson Nicola Regional District in 2013—better control over dangerous dogs—could finally happen if a bylaw before the board of directors is approved this week.
The bylaw will specifically cover how the service will be regulated and enforced. Adhering to the guidelines in the Community Charter, dogs will only be considered dangerous if they have killed or seriously injured a person or domestic animal or if an animal control officer has reasonable grounds to believe the dog is likely to kill or seriously injure a person.
The 11 municipalities and 10 electoral areas gathered feedback from local constituents and four areas - Blue Sky Country, electoral areas M and N (Nicola Valley regions) and Rivers and the Peaks - have decided to take advantage of the service.
The board has already approved providing the service by contract and if the bylaw is approved, a request for proposal will be issued this fall and a policy will be drafted for a November 2013 meeting of the review committee.
The policy will address the fact the bylaw does not provide regulation or control of unlicensed dogs, dogs at large or aggressive dogs due to limited resources to enforce the dangerous dog bylaw.
A budget of $50,000 is being set for the first year with a potential to go up to $100,000 if needed. TNRD does not have any statistics for dangerous dog incidents which is why a lower amount is being budgeted for the first year.
The budget includes costs for answering calls, on-site investigations, euthanasia, court preparation and attendance and a responsible dog ownership education program. Estimated operating costs of $100,000 were based on 60 complaint calls per month, with a total of 25 requiring on-site visits over the course of the year and five cases of euthanasia.
The cost to average households in the service area will start at $5.30 per year with the potential to go up to $10.59 based on a $100,000 budget.

- Many insurers think events involving cycling are high-risk and apply unfair conditions or exclusions to cycling-related claims.
- Major sporting federations provide group personal insurance policies which limit the amounts they can pay out.
- Unless your Super Fund or Personal Insurance company has specifically underwritten your cycling activity, you may not have the cover you think you do.
Understand what you have
This table is not an extensive 'features and benefits' list, but it is a valuable starting point only.
*Click here for a Summary of Insurance for Cycling Australia
**Click here for a Summary of Insurance for Triathlon Australia
***Research conducted by King of the Mountain Financial Advice 2016, where participating in an event includes a competitive cycling element.
KOM Financial Advice was formed to address the unique Income Protection (IP) and Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) issues cyclists and triathletes may face.
We can help by:
- recommending an insurer that will provide cover for your cycling or triathlon races, training and commuting AND cover you for any injury, illness, disease or accident that prevents you from working. It's true, comprehensive cover; and
- working with you to you determine the cover you actually need, or just implement the level you want.
We will ensure that your activities are underwritten, and therefore approved, and help you get the right amount of cover. We will give you certainty.
If you participate in an event that:
- requires any sort one-day or annual licence;
- is timed;
- covers a specific distance;
- allocates you a finishing position; or
- is considered a form of competition (despite you being competitive or not);
and you crash, then you're at risk of having your Superannuation Insurance or Personal Insurance claim denied because of a little-known 'competitive cycling' exclusion that almost all insurers have. This can include where you have an accident training for an event or commuting too.
We believe that it's essential to hold your designated sporting federation's membership (such as Cycling Australia or Triathlon Australia) because it covers you for Public Liability - in case you injure someone else – and because they have other features too.
However, most of these federations have Group Personal Accident Insurance policies that only cover the participant's income up to a maximum of between $500pw and $700pw (depending on the organisation), for a period of 12 months. If your financial responsibilities require more than the default cover, or if the accident is serious and you need to be covered potentially for the rest of your working life, you could be left drastically under-insured.
Furthermore, they're accident-only policies, meaning that you need to have an accident or injury relating to the activity, otherwise you can't claim.
It's not good enough to have insurance. You need to know what your insurance does and doesn't let you do and how to change it if it doesn't suit your needs. You can make choices, but can you understand the fine print?
What does this mean in actual dollars?
Our recommendations aim to pay income protection up to 80% of one's actual wage and continue to pay until age 70 years.
*Based on comparing Cycling Australia and Triathlon Australia's maximum payable amount under their respective 'Loss of Income' benefits.
**Research conducted by King of the Mountain Financial Advice 2016, where participating in an event includes a competitive cycling element.
Our recommended insurance policies can also pay a lump sum upon breaking various bones, such as the collarbone (1.5 times your monthly benefit) or femur (3 times your monthly benefit).
In each instance, the participant may be eligible for the default income protection benefit after serving their federation's waiting period.
*This benefit replicates a multiple of one's monthly income protection benefit however, it does not require the participant to have any time off work at all. Should the participant be unable to work after the multiple of one's monthly benefit has expired, they may be entitled to claim their normal monthly income protection benefit also.
**Research conducted by King of the Mountain Financial Advice 2016, where participating in an event includes a competitive cycling element.
What about if it's permanent?
Importantly, many sporting federations can only provide up to a maximum payment of $100,000 if you suffer a Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) event, and it needs to relate to their sport. If you need more than this – remember, you'd be totally disabled and forever - or want to be covered for any injury, illness, disease or accident that renders you TPD, rather than those just from your chosen sport, you can apply to be covered up to $3,000,000, and maybe even more if you need it, through KOM Financial Advice.
We're here to help you get the cover you need.

Welcome to the Free Online Scholarship (FOS) NewsletterNovember 9, 2001
Starting with this issue, I'm using MakeAShorterLink.com to shorten very long URLs. It's a useful service, elegantly implemented. This will prevent the wrapping of long URLs, which in some applications prevents users from clicking through. I hope it saves you from cutting and pasting.
Free online scholarly blogs
A web log (or weblog, hence blog) is a chronological list of the editor's postings with the most recent on top. Typically a blog shows only a week's worth on one screen, with the rest in a searchable archive. Some blogs are individual diaries, some are devoted to news in a certain niche, some are like newsletters published one date-stamped item at a time. Some blogs are produced by one individual and some have many contributors. All are free. There is now intuitive software to make blogs easy to create and maintain.
If you haven't used blogs to follow developments in a certain corner of the world (electronic publishing, libraries, you name it), you're in for a pleasant surprise. They've become very useful tools.
The useful blogs today tend to cover news in some fairly narrow professional beat, political bloc, or product market. But there's no reason why they couldn't cover news in a scholarly discipline.
Two good examples of scholarly blogs are GeoBlog, maintained by Fred Siewers, and the Biological Science blog from the BigBlog family of blogs. When there is news of interest to geologists or biologists, these blog editors log a note with a link. Geologists or biologists can visit the sites periodically to see what's going on. Both blogs cover both popular and scholarly sources (and both could enrich the mix with more scholarly sources). Both are useful to working scientists and should inspire imitators in other fields.
In the back of my mind, one of my models here is John Baez, professor of mathematics at the University of California, Riverside. Baez reads current journal articles in mathematical physics and cross-posts his summaries and thoughts to four usenet newsgroups (sci.physics.research, sci.math.research, sci.physics, and sci.math). He's been doing this nearly every week for more than three years. He doesn't run a blog, but anybody willing to do what he's doing could make a terrific blog. Why doesn't every field have a John Baez (or two, or ten), reading current articles and posting summaries and thoughts to a blog for other researchers in the field?

Adobe says "licensed", court says "sold"
Softman Products runs BuyCheapSoftware.com, a web site that unbundles Adobe software "Collections" and sells the pieces separately. This enables buyers to buy, install, and use the individual programs without seeing or clicking assent to Adobe's licensing agreement. When Adobe found out about this practice, it sued Softman for infringing its trademarks and copyrights. In August a federal district court issued a temporary restraining order against Softman, but in October it lifted the order and ruled that Softman is acting within its rights as a purchaser.
The case is about software, not scholarship, but many of the court's arguments extend to scholarly texts and other forms of intellectual property. The court ruled that Adobe "sold" copies of its software to Softman and didn't merely "license" them. The fact that Adobe used licensing language to describe the transaction is irrelevant. What matters is the substance of the transaction itself. Softman paid full value for the software; Softman accepted the risk that it would be damaged or lost; and Softman accepted the risk that it would be unable to resell it. These are the hallmarks of a sale.
Adobe didn't sell its intellectual property, but it did sell copies. Adobe's insistence that it owns the intellectual property is therefore beside the point. If Softman bought copies of the software from Adobe and didn't merely license them, then it has the right to dispose of them in any way that it sees fit. In short, the "first sale doctrine" applies to copies of Adobe software.
Quoting Judge Pregerson: "Adobe seeks to control the resale of a lawfully acquired copy of its software. Adobe's position in this action would be more akin to a journalist who claimed that ownership of the copyright to an article allowed him or her to control the resale of a particular copy of a newspaper that contained that article."
District court decision in Softman Products v. Adobe Systems(The decision is undated but was posted to the court's web site on October 22, 2001.)
BuyCheapSoftware.com(No mention of this case at the web site.)
* Postscript. What if this ruling stands and is applied to scholarly texts? If libraries and consumers are held to "buy" rather than "license" ebooks, ejournals, and ejournal articles, then they should be within their rights to bypass copy protection, make back-up copies, make copies to run on their other computers, and keep their copies in readable form (tweaked if necessary) in perpetuity without further payments.
* PPS. In trying to find more details and commentary on this case, I hit the news and law search engines. But even though stories and op-ed pieces on the case could be old enough to be crawled by the major engines (and certainly by the frequently refreshed news engines), I've found nothing. Why is the nerd press ignoring this far-reaching story?
Freedom from cross-border censorship
A federal district court ruled on November 7 that Yahoo's U.S. web operations are not bound by French law on the sale of Nazi artifacts, even though Yahoo auction pages are served to French citizens.
The French argued that a French ruling ought to be binding over what French citizens may see in France. Yahoo argued that a U.S. company's U.S. web site should be protected by the U.S. constitution.
To understand why this is good news for FOS, imagine that your online scholarship about evolution, Chinese history, or sexuality, was enjoined by courts in Iran, China, or Afghanistan. (See FOSN for 7/3/01.) The principle behind this case helps all scholars who publish controversial papers on the web --or at least the 99% for whom there is at least one country on Earth more oppressive and intolerant than their own.

Turning the tables
In earlier issues, we've worried about the commercial exploitation of FOS (see FOSN for 7/17/01 and 8/7/01). If you put content online for free for readers, then it's also free for commercial publishers or any other for-profit vendor who wants to take up your content, repackage it, perhaps with add-ons, and sell it.
Now commercial providers are worried about the inverse problem. If they put up content supported by advertising or subscription fees, then (as long as it isn't hidden behind passwords) it will be copied and made available free of charge by Google's cache system (FOSN for 10/12/01) or the Wayback Machine's internet archive (FOSN for 10/26/01).
Commercial providers are worrying...(Scroll down to the fifth story.)
There's an interesting symmetry here. Free content can be repackaged and sold by commercial publishers. Priced content can be repackaged and given away by FOS providers.
Here are two differences that break the symmetry. First, when free content has been repackaged for purchase, and when priced content has been repackaged for free distribution, then most users will prefer the free versions of both kinds of content. Or at least it would take significant add-ons to persuade users to buy content they could get for free. This is the asymmetry that will help FOS in the long run. If we can convert lead to gold and gold to lead, most people will prefer gold.
Second, Google and the Wayback Machine let commercial providers tag their sites so that they are not cached or archived. Hence, commercial providers can stop free distribution at their own initiative, but there is no comparable step that FOS providers can take to stop commercial exploitation. They can copyright their content and refuse permission to reprint it for profit. But this requires monitoring, negotiation, confrontation, and lawsuits, not just a metatag.
Copyright helps each side symmetrically block the other. Clearly FOS providers can use copyright to stop commercial exploitation. For the other direction, see Katharine Mieszkowski's November 2 article for _Salon_, in which she speculates on the copyright and other legal troubles that might arise for the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Online newspapers that charge for access to back issues will soon find that the Wayback Machine gives free online access to all. "The testy members of the National Writers Union [vindicated by the Supreme Court in _Tasini_] may also view the archive as an unauthorized and uncompensated republishing of their work. There's also the tricky question of what happens if a settlement in a lawsuit requires that libelous material be removed from a Web site, yet the original lives on in the archive?"
* The entire population of Iceland now has a license to access over 2,000 electronic journals from six publishers. (PS: This an interesting hybrid. It's unfree in the obvious sense that Iceland paid money for the national license. But for Icelanders, it's government subsidized, like NASA's Astrophysics Data System, the National Library of Medicine, and much other content that Americans call FOS.)
* Ingenta, which calls itself the world's largest online database of scientific literature, has become profitable sooner than expected. Its revenue comes from fees paid by publishers for electronic versions of their print journals, and from fees paid by readers to download articles. Ingenta-funded research shows that "by switching to online distribution, publisher royalties and revenue could increase by 38%" --presumably by not passing the savings on to subscribers.

* The California Digital Library (CDL) will discontinue its version of Medline on December 19. The CDL version was originally called Melvyl Medline Plus and, more recently, CDL Medline/HealthSTAR. After December 19, CDL users will access Medline through PubMed.
* The new USA PATRIOT Act allows secret searches, not only of your home and office but of your library borrowing records. These searches can be secret in the sense that the authorities need not tell you that the search ever took place. The American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom, in consultation with the Freedom to Read Foundation, has put together legal advice for librarians who are served with subpoenas to turn over the borrowing records of patrons without informing those patrons.
* The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) harnesses the spare desktop CPU cycles of thousands of volunteers to create a massively parallel virtual computer for scientific computations. But now post-terrorist paranoia may limit the effectiveness of this exciting technology. Swedish Public Radio has banned the software from its machines because there's no way to tell what job the computations are really performing. It might be the scientific search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, or it might be a terrorist's calculation of missile ballistics.

* The source code for the Digital Document Discourse Environment (D3E) is now available for downloading. D3E is an open source program which creates a threaded discussion attached to any web page. It's easy to set up and use and a natural for integrating discussion with any online article or book or for experimenting with new forms of interactive peer review. "Full D3E" uses a toolkit to insert navigation links and discussion hooks into the target document. "Ubiquitous D3E" (which is new) uses unmodified files in their natural habitat on the web. D3E discussions support multiple threads, moderators, discussion subscription, searching, email delivery, HTML within posts, look and feel control, usage statistics, and other standard features of major discussion forums. D3E is a collaboration of the Knowledge Media Institute of the UK's Open University and the Center for LifeLong Learning & Design of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

* The Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library (EEVL) was originally launched in 1996 as a free online archive of engineering reports, articles, and data. This week it was relaunched with a wider scope that includes mathematics and computing. The new name is the Internet Guide to Engineering, Mathematics, and Computing, though it still goes by its old acronym, EEVL. It has one of the most flexible search engines I've seen in a content portal. You can search the entire archive or limit your search to any of its many topical sub-sections. You can limit searches by discipline, by resource type, or by national origin. You can search the full-texts of the archived articles, or limit the search to authors, titles, URLs, or descriptions. EEVL is the joint product of a handful of British universities with funds from JISC.
* The National Library of New Zealand has put online over 300,000 pages from a score of 19th century NZ newspapers. Users may browse the collection in English or in Maori.

* The proceedings of the October JISC seminar, Digital Curation: Digital Archives, Libraries, and E-Science, are now online. These consist of a couple of RTF documents and many PowerPoint presentations.
* The National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) has started compiling a systematic collection of censorship incidents traceable to the patriotism and counter-terrorism inspired by the September 11 attacks. The archive has a section devoted to academic incidents, but the whole collection is still very new and hasn't caught up with half the incidents I've read about. I assume it will grow.
If you can't wait for the NCAC archive to grow, see the archive from EFF mentioned in FOSN for 10/26/01. While the NCAC's collection covers all kinds of anti-terrorist censorship, the EFF collection is limited to the censorship of web sites.

* If you remember, in June the small ebook publisher Rosetta Books defeated Random House in the Supreme Court and established the principle that then-standard book contracts did not cover electronic publication. As a result, Rosetta Books won the right to publish electronic versions of books whose print versions were under contract to Random House. (See FOSN for 7/17/01.) Simon & Schuster shares Random House's interest in this case and this week showed its solidarity by squelching a deal to distribute books from a third firm, iBooks, when it found out that iBooks had struck a co-publishing deal with Rosetta Books.

* Since 1998, the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI) has been hard at work. It is scanning clay tablets, on each of their six faces, and putting the digital images online for students and scholars. In the next few years CDLI will contain scans of 60,000 clay tablets, with special strength in the period 3200-2000 BCE. Over time it plans to capture the 200,000 known tablets housed in museums throughout the world. CDLI will revolutionize Assyriology, whose scholars have had to travel from museum to museum to read the physical tablets, or from library to library to read the 40,000 images already published in books and journals. The CDLI is a joint venture of the University of California at Los Angeles and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, and has received funding from the NSF and NEH.

They include Metal, Greek producer XDB, Chain Reaction alumnus Fluxion, Something boss STL and Detroit dub techno ambassador Luke Hess. Mike Dehnert, Arovane and Canadian Deadbeat also appear on the collection, which is out in the fall.

Her 34B tits are just enough to hold on to, and her 27 inch waist blooms out into a sexy 32 inch ass. To give you an idea of what type of girl Taryn is, she told one interviewer that her favorite body part is her puckered asshole. And why wouldn't it be?

To change the world, I may lose everything
All Eva ever wanted was the chance to be herself. But in the Americas, to be hybrid—to share your body with a second soul—is not tolerated past childhood. Now Eva and Addie, her sister soul, are constantly on the move, hiding from the officials who seek to capture them. But the tide is changing. A revolution is brewing, and people are starting to question the hybrids' mistreatment. Then Marion, an ambitious reporter, offers Eva and Addie a daring proposal: If they go undercover and film the wretched conditions of a hybrid institution, she will not only rescue them, she'll find a way to free Jackson, the boy Addie loves. It's risky, and Eva will have to leave Ryan and her friends behind, but if she succeeds, it could also tip the scales forever and lead to hybrid freedom. As Eva and Addie walk into danger, they cling to each other and the hope of a better future. But the price they might pay is higher than they ever could have imagined.
A good conclusion to a solid Dystopian series. It's not the most memorable story ever, but if you want an interesting story that delivers constant quality, you might want to give this series a shot. There are no hard spoilers for any of the books.
Addie/Eve are still on the run and they can't refuse the proposal from Marion, a supporter who claims she wants to help hybrids, but is mainly looking for a good story for her career. She knows a way to free Jackson, the boy Addie fancies, and she will help them if they provide her with inside information. Addie/Eve are locked away in another institute with a hidden camera. This is only the beginning from a lot of trouble.
I like that Eve takes a more prominent role in this story. In the first two books Addie is, most of the times, in control but she is more on the background. I still like Eve the best, so I was happy with this switch. The thing about the two girls is that they both are rash and they don't seem to value their life much. They take dangerous decisions and there were some times where they throw themselves into situations with no happy ending – and they should know that. I found them a bit too naive and it made me want to smack both of them.
Despite those flaws, they were good characters. I could see they were willing to sacrifice a lot for their friends and that is an admirable trait. Their relationship is still fascinating, but I also liked their interactions with other characters like Jackson and Ryan. I felt less chemistry between them all than in the previous books, but that's mostly because a lot of drama is going on.
They are constantly on the run and trying to stay under the radar, especially because Jenson is looking for them. When Addie/Eve are put in the institute we truly get to see the horrible things they do to hybrids. They are kept in prison under bad conditions, waiting until they go crazy and then they are taken away; nobody knows that happens after that. It was a disgusting situation and it's a good thing someone was trying to broadcast it.
The ending wraps everything up nicely, but doesn't make it too happily-ever-after. It was fitting for the story and I was satisfied how everything is solved. When it comes to Dystopian series, this is one that doesn't provide something unique, but it manages to deliver a solid story with a good conclusion and sometimes that's more than enough for me.

Fans of Gayle Forman's YA novel If I Stay will definitely be interested in these eight clips Warner Bros. has provided from us the upcoming film adaptation. Director R.J. Cutler's take on the material stars Chloë Grace Moretz as Mia, a talented young musician who balances her aspirations of attending the Juilliard School with the budding romance of her devoted boyfriend Adam, played by Jamie Blackley. A tragic event puts those Earthly concerns behind her as Mia must decide whether to fight for her life with Adam by her side, or give in to her new condition.
Also starring Mireille Enos, Joshua Leonard, Liana Liberato, Aisha Hinds, and Stacy Keach, If I Stay opens in theaters August 22nd. Hit the jump to check out the clips and be sure to check out the trailer while you're at it.
Here's the official synopsis for If I Stay:
Mia Hall (Chloë Grace Moretz) thought the hardest decision she would ever face would be whether to pursue her musical dreams at Juilliard or follow a different path to be with the love of her life, Adam (Jamie Blackley). But what should have been a carefree family drive changes everything in an instant, and now her own life hangs in the balance. Caught between life and death for one revealing day, Mia has only one decision left, which will not only decide her future but her ultimate fate. "If I Stay" is based on the best-selling novel of the same name.

Nearly 9,500 people each year are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the UK.

On November 8, 2011, the legislation for a carbon pricing scheme passed through the Australian Senate and became law. From July 1, 2012 onward, emitting one ton of carbon dioxide will cost Australia's top 500 polluters AU$23.
This freshly published Clean Energy Plan provides an update to The Climate Group's July 2011 Clean Energy Future Briefing Paper, and covers the following issues:
- How has Australia's carbon pricing scheme changed since July 2011?
- Amid concerns about the European emissions trading scheme, how will Australia's scheme compare internationally over the next few years?
- What will Australia's key goals be in upcoming international negotiations at Durban COP17 and the Rio Earth Summit?
- Is Coalition repeal of the carbon price legislation a realistic possibility?

Green Building
Central Library renews environment via green roof, including solar
From an article by Bobby Tanzilo on OnMilwaukee.com:
There are always exciting things going on in Milwaukee Public Library's Downtown Central Library, 814 W. Wisconsin Ave. But, these days, there is also some excitement on the building's roof, too.
When the library needed to replace its 25-year-old roof last year, instead of going for a conventional roof, a 30,000-square foot green roof was constructed and 132 solar electric panels were added to generate about 36,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. That's enough to power four homes annually.
"Everyone's very enthused about it," says the library's public services manager Christine Arkenberg, on a recent visit that begins on the library's first floor, where there is an area dedicated to the green roof initiative.
There, visitors can see books about green issues, view explanatory materials, see a monitor with status updates on how much electricity is being generated, watch a video screen slide show and pick up brochures.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Energy efficient renewable homes: Cheaper to build, sell higher
From a paper published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory:
The data support the conclusion that SheaHomes [the builder of the zero energy home] was able to deliver highly energy-efficient homes equipped with solar water heating systems, 39% of which also included a GPV [grid-tied photovoltaic] system at a competitive price. In fact, despite their quality and amenities, the SheaHomes cost less per square foot than their competitors'. . . .
The increase in value for the SheaHomes averaged $227,592. The highest resale price was $930,000 for a home with a 1.2 kW PV system owned for 23 months. The increase in SheaHomes resale prices were proportionally higher than were those of nearby 6 comparison homes resold in the same time period.
And from an article by Michael Copeland on CNNMoney.com:
Home systems are still rare, so their value is difficult to assess, but home appraisers follow this general rule of thumb: Half the gross cost can be recouped in the home sales price as soon as it is installed. True, that's well below the recovery rates for kitchens and bathrooms (which range from 70 to 90 percent), but your kitchen doesn't pay the power bills.
And solar's ability to lower energy costs also adds value. A study in Appraisal Journal found that for every utility-bill dollar saved annually because of an improvement, you gain $10 to $20 in property value. So if you can zero out a $1,000 annual electric tab by installing solar, you'll get back $10,000 to $20,000 in home value.
And one more article by Adam Aston in Business Week:

The appeal of solar homes could grow as the economic outlook worsens. The more utility bills cut into household reserves, "the more consumers recognize the value of efficiency," says Robert W. Hammon, principal of ConSol, a green building consulting firm. And there's growing consumer awareness that solar homes appreciate faster than ordinary dwellings. They also resell for a premium of up to 5%.
According to Ben Hoen, a researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who studies the effects of eco-features on real estate values, more homeowners now see solar panels as a long-term asset . . . .
Solar adds to state's first green built apartments

From a story by Mike Ivey in The Capital Times:

Back when other developers were pursuing luxury condominiums for the affluent, Stone House Development Inc. was quietly going in a different direction.
Specializing in apartments for moderate-income renters, Stone House has completed a variety of projects statewide in recent years. Its biggest local ventures are the 111-unit Madison Mark on King Street and the 76-unit Park Central on East Wilson Street. . . .
[Stone House Vice President Rich Arnesen notes] that Park Central is the first certified "green built" apartment in Wisconsin. Stone House partnered with Madison Gas & Electric on a rooftop solar water heating system and on photovoltaic panels that send about $5,000 worth of electricity annually back into the grid.
MGE provided $68,000 in funding through its Neighborhood Revitalization Grant program.
"We typically award a grant to only one major multifamily project a year, and we want it to lead the market in its use of energy-efficient designs and products," said Mark Faultersack, MGE residential services manager.
MGE had also participated with Stone House on the Madison Mark under a similar grant about three years ago.
In addition to using Energy Star-rated appliances and compact fluorescent bulbs, the Park Central development includes other energy enhancements such as insulation sheathing between the apartment floors and the unheated parking garage below.
Five energy proposals for Wisconsin
From a commentary by Don Wichert, director of renewable energy programs for Focus on Energy, in the Wisconsin State Journal:
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
High energy prices and potential supply disruptions can prompt creative thinking and new approaches in thousands of situations. Here are five energy proposals that could be started immediately.
The most imminent is to provide innovative and analytical support to rebuild flooded homes and communities with sustainable energy designs.
Wisconsin folks have done this before in Soldiers Grove in 1978. This community effort can be replicated and improved upon using 30 years of sustainable development practices.
The second proposal is to retool the General Motors plant in Janesville to make the new GM Plug-In Hybrid Electric "Volt" or some similar next generation vehicle.
The changing of the car guard from big to efficient is a perfect transitional energy fit and an entire trained workforce and significant manufacturing infrastructure awaits in Janesville.
The Volt is due to be produced in 2010 for the 2011 model year, about the same time Janesville's SUV line will close.
Proposal three is to get the Wisconsin printing industry, led by companies like Quad Graphics, Serigraph and others, to start printing solar electric "paint" on building materials, like roofing, siding and windows.
A company called NanoSolar in the Silicon Valley has shown that this process can be done at drastically reduced cost. And that's when the printing techniques were developed from scratch.
This is a fantastic opportunity for our mature printing industry to follow suit.
Doyle recognizes excellence of Mead Wildlife Center
From an article by Carlos Gieseken in the Marshfield News-Herald:
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
To architect Tom Brown, [a long-time RENEW member], Mead Wildlife Center near Milladore is more than the latest and greatest in a long line of buildings designed during a 30-year career spent exploring "green" building technologies.
"It's my baby," Brown said.
"It relies on the way it's built for its performance," he said, with its east-to-west layout, maximizing the exposure to the sun while framing views of the 30,000 acre wildlife area.
"When the sun shines, the building smiles," he said.
The Philadelphia native who moved to Stevens Point in 1977 was smiling when Gov. Jim Doyle presented the 2006 Excellence in Sustainable Design and Construction Award, given for sustainable design of a state project.
"It's probably the greenest building the state owns right now," Brown said. "Hopefully there will be more like it."
The building uses wind, solar and geothermal energy, along with a small supply of electricity. The lobby's biomass wood stove is lit once a day but radiates heat for up to 24 hours.
Making and saving energy at the zoo
From a story by Jennifer Page in The Isthmus:

For the past few years, Dane County has been working to make its buildings more energy-efficient, hoping to save taxpayers thousands of dollars in heating and cooling costs and reduce environmental impact. One main focus of these efforts has been the Henry Vilas Zoo.
"The county is doing a lot right now with conservation and eco-friendly building," says county Supv. Chuck Erickson, a member of the zoo commission. "The zoo has seen a lot of this focus."
. . . The zoo has long looked for ways to improve energy efficiency. For several years, there has been a solar panel array in the flamingo yard. The energy it generates — about one-quarter of what's needed to power the average home — is sold back to Madison Gas & Electric.
Step It Up 2007 rallies November 3
Step it Up 2007 to curb global warming events across the country – scheduled exactly one year before the 2008 national election – will demonstrate the contrast between the intense concern of ordinary Americans and the leadership vacuum on this issue in Washington. A similar event last April produced more than 1,400 rallies in all 50 states, making it the largest global warming event in United States history.
There will be a rally at Lapham Peak State Park from 1 to 3 pm that day, with music, local and regional speakers from the scientific, activist, and religious communities, including Dr. George Stone of MATC and Ed Garvey, frequent talk radio guest and founder of "Fighting Bob Fest", and a petition to our President, Senators and Rep. Sensenbrenner asking them to "step it up" and show real leadership, including these key priorities: (1) 5 million green jobs conserving 20% of our energy by 2015 (2) freeze climate pollution levels now and cut at least 30% by 2020 and 80% by 2050, and (3) a moratorium on new coal-fired power plants. The rally will be at the Summer Stage, which is a 1/4 mile walk from the main parking lot. The Summer Stage amphitheater has no permanent seating, so plan to stand, sit on the grass, or bring folding chairs. You will need a State Park sticker to enter the park. Car-pooling and bicycling to the event is encouraged.
There are other rallies in Wisconsin as well as the one in Delafield. See the Web site www.stepitup2007.org for details on the Delafield and other rallies.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Interview with Nancy & Steve Sandstrom: Ecotourism hosts and promoters
From RENEW's quarterly newsletter, which is produced in part with funding from Focus on Energy:
Nancy and Steve Sandstrom slid into chairs around a table at Madison's Monona Terrace just after finishing a presentation on ecolodge design and planning at the North American conference of The International Ecotourism Society (TIES).
It's no wonder that TIES wanted them to tell about the Pinehurst Inn, the bed and breakfast that they own and manage just south of Bayfield along Lake Superior. The Pinehurst Inn's impressive list of credentials includes:
• 320 square feet of solar collectors to heat domestic hot water in the new Garden House;
• Plans to retrofit the original inn with similar solar panels;
• Energy efficient materials throughout both buildings;
• Non-toxic cleaning products and recycled materials wherever appropriate;
• Organic cotton linens and towels;
• Organic and locally grown food as much as possible;
• ENERGY STAR® appliances, lighting and other technology;
• Landscaping with both historic and native plantings; composting of all food and garden waste;
• No pesticides or herbicides or commercial fertilizers used on the lawns or gardens;
• Personal vehicles that run on biodiesel and veggie oil.
When Nancy and Steve both found themselves in stressful jobs, feeling like "square pegs in round holes" in Milwaukee, they began researching the possibility of purchasing a bed and breakfast.
The owner of another Bayfield inn knew that they were looking and called them when the Pinehurst Inn went on the market. They snatched it up in January of 1996, as much to rescue a fine old house as to open an inn.
Nancy and one family dog moved into the Pinehurst shortly afterward, but Steve stayed in his job and made a long commute from the Milwaukee area for another two years.
Nancy manages Pinehurst Inn full-time, and Steve helps as much as he can when he's not teaching classes at Northland College or on-line courses for the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
Q. What brought you to Bayfield and the Pinehurst Inn?
Steve: We both knew that we weren't living the lifestyle we wanted. We had always been close to nature, and we were in the wrong place.
Nancy: We'd reached the age of being empty nesters, and we began researching the bed and breakfast options as a way out of suburbia. We wanted to be in Bayfield where we have family.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Green Bay utility seeks to go green
From an article by Joe Grundle in The Daily Reporter:
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Green Bay-based electric utility Wisconsin Public Service Corp. promotes energy efficiency to its customers, but its own branch in Rhinelander does not provide a good model.
For that reason and others, WPS hopes to build a 76,000-square-foot green building on the city's northeast side to replace its two existing buildings: a customer service center and a separate operations center crosstown.
Boilers heat the current centers, and Leah Van Zile, community relations leader for WPS, said it can get really hot and cold.
"Sometimes the A/C is on when it's not supposed to be, or the heat kicks in when it's already hot outside," she said. "We will be looking at a system that automatically regulates office temperature."
WPS intends to use the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design techniques to guide its development, including sustainable site development, water savings through efficient toilets, energy efficiency, building-materials selection and indoor-air quality
Kettle Foods opens green plant In Beloit
From a story on Channel3000:
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 1 so far )
BELOIT, Wis. — Kettle Foods held a grand opening for its manufacturing facility in Beloit Wednesday.
Gov. Jim Doyle was on hand to cut the ribbon at the new 73,000-square-foot facility, which created nearly 100 jobs in Beloit. The manufacturing plant will produce 2.5 million bags of all-natural potato chips, which are sold across the country. . . .
In 2006, Doyle provided Kettle Foods with $500,000 in state money to lure the construction project.
In addition to new jobs, Kettle Foods brings new standards for environmentally friendly manufacturing. Kettle Foods' new facility in Beloit is the first manufacturing plant to be awarded gold certification in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program from the U.S. Green Building Council.
"We think it's a big deal. We think we've done the right thing to build as sustainably as possible," said Jim Green, ambassador for Kettle Foods.
The facility uses 18 small wind turbines located on the roof of the building. Combined, and at full capacity, the turbines can create 18 kilowatts of electricity, which is enough power to make 56,000 bags of chips each year, WISC-TV reported.

It's 2 a.m. and I can't stop crying. I'm so fucking sad.
I know that is not, but I can't help to feel like everything is my fault. What of I'm not doing enough? What if I never recover? What if I'm alone forever? What if I always feel this pain?
I don't even know how all this sadness can fit inside my body, I feel like it's infinite. I could cry for the rest of my life and it would still not be enough time to mourn how my young self was murdered.
I guess not a lot of people go through that experience, feeling so much sadness for yourself. Like witnessing a tragedy, but you're the one going though it.
I'm thinking about the future, when I share my pain with people that love me. I'll cry so much, and they will too, and they'll be just as hurt.
We will both mourn that death. Although it makes me feel guilty knowing that they'll be in pain, I hope that day comes.
I know that I should have hope, but it's so hard. And even if I'm able to move on, things won't be easy.
I don't know, I have too much sadness. I wish I had someone to hug, I haven't had a hug in years.
I need someone to tell me they love me, and that is not my fault, that I'm strong, and I did everything I could and more. That they're proud of me.
That's all I've got. The hope that someday thing will be better.

Chief Secretary Highlights APEC Co-Operation Meetings this Week
A series of high-level meeting between Papua New Guinean and Australian officials will take place in Port Moresby this week as part of preparations to host the APEC summit in 2018.
The Chief Secretary to Government, Sir Manasupe Zurenuoc, said the meetings with Australia will identify areas where the two countries can work together to deliver safety and security preparations for the APEC summit, as well as advance policy development.
These meetings will be the first of a series of consultations with the 20 other member economies that will take part in APEC Papua New Guinea 2018.
"APEC is an international forum and we work with other participating economies to advance policy objectives and ensure security co-operation," the Chief Secretary said.
"Papua New Guinea will chair APEC policy development process in 2018 that is aimed at stimulating regional economic integration and growth.
"As host and Chair of the policy development process, we will have the opportunity to bring into the discussion issues that are important to developing countries around the Asia-Pacific, particularly development issues that matter to our island nations.
"In advancing this APEC agenda we look to past hosts for their perspective and we are doing this with Australia, as the host of APEC in 2007 and the G20 in 2014.
"We also have ongoing consultation with Philippines as the host in 2015, as well as Peru and Viet Nam as upcoming hosts."
Sir Manasupe said safety and security preparations are one of the most intensive components of preparing to host APEC and these matters will be advanced this week.
"We will have around 200 APEC meetings between now and the end of 2018, and we have to do everything we can to provide a secure environment for our visitors.
"Security preparations range for general safety issues and vehicle movements, through to operations to ensure the safety of Presidents and Prime Ministers from global threats.
"We look forward to the discussion with Australia this week, the first of our working groups with security partners, that will cover issues such as airspace co-ordination, maritime security and special forces training.
"We thank Australia for the support that they are providing for our APEC preparations."
APEC Papua New Guinea 2018 will bring more than 10,000 delegates to locations around the nation in 2018, and advance policy matters that include increasing regional trade and investment, and development in sectors that include agriculture, maritime resources, tourism, mining and transportation.
