If the British Bigfoot is not a purely physical animal in the sense that we strictly understand the term, but is perhaps far more spectral in nature – as some of the facts, at least, seem to strongly suggest – then how do we even begin to try and explain and reconcile this?
There is one particular avenue that is most definitely worth exploring, and it is an avenue that has its origins buried deep within the history of ancient Scottish folklore. The beast may be what is surely that most dastardly of all creatures: a Kelpie (see the accompanying picture: "Boy on a White Horse" by Theodor Kittelsen).
According to Scottish legend, the Kelpie – or the water-horse – is a wholly supernatural creature that haunts the rivers and the lochs of ancient Scotland and that has the uncanny ability to shape-shift. The most common form that the Kelpie takes is that of a horse – hence the name.
It stands by the water's edge, tempting any passing and weary traveller that might consider continuing on his or her journey to mount it. That, however, is always the fatal downfall of the traveller, as invariably the beast is then said to rear violently and charge head-long into the depths of the river or loch, and thus drowning its terrified rider in the process.
Very notably, according to the old legends, the Kelpie was also said to be able to transform itself into the form of...a large, hairy man...

Cops Under Review Following Teen's Arrest
Two Baltimore police officers are under review after video of them forcefully arresting an African-American teen surfaced online.
WBFF reports that officers can be seen taking 16-year-old Alonzo Cox into custody. The teen appears to put his hands on the female officer when she tries to handcuff him and the male officer intervenes.
At one point, the male officer can be heard threatening to punch Cox. On Thursday, the teen admitted he could have cooperated more, but said he began to fear for his life.
"I was scared," Cox said. "I thought I was going to get shot that's all that was going through my mind, 'Please don't shoot me.' I was scared for my life."
Police say 911 was called following a fight that was taking place across the street from Woodlawn High School in Baltimore.
According to reports, around 2:36 p.m., police were called to the scene after reports of someone fighting with a knife. When officers arrived, they reportedly witnessed a female suspect matching the description that was given to them during the call walking on Woodlawn Drive. She allegedly was swinging a "large knife" and yelling at a male teen ahead of her.
"Officers approached the girl, who is 14, giving verbal commands to which she responded," Baltimore County Police and Fire Spokesperson Elise Armacost wrote in a statement. "The girl was taken into custody without incident. The male juvenile who had been identified as a suspect in the fight did not comply with a female officer's verbal commands and assaulted her."
Cox is facing two charges of 2nd degree assault, resisting arrest and 2nd degree assault on police. The 14-year-old girl was charged with 1st and 2nd degree assault. Both teens were released from custody.
"The problem is they're trying to put handcuffs on this teenager and he's resisting," Former Baltimore City Police Commissioner Ed Norris said. "He put his hands on the first officer and he's continuing to resist, they're trying to handcuff him, he's fighting, he's screaming, he's fighting and they can't get him handcuffed, it's very difficult to handle."
Body Worn Camera video is available and will be reviewed by Baltimore County Police for excessive force. Story developing.

|PA 379 FAQs
Share |
Public Act 379 of 2016
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Was a new practice law recently passed that changes the way PAs and physicians work together?
Yes. Public Act 379 of 2016 was just signed into law which more clearly defines the relationship between a PA and a participating physician by creating a written Practice Agreement. The Practice Agreement requires each provider to consider education, training and experience in order to ensure the highest quality patient care.
Q. When does this new law go into effect?
PA 379 will go into effect on March 22, 2017. A PA and their participating physician must have a new practice agreement in place by that date.
Q. Does the new law remove the terms "supervision" and "delegation"?
Yes. PAs in Michigan are no longer required to work under supervision or delegation of a physician according to the new law. PAs will now be required to work with a "participating physician" according to the terms in a "practice agreement."
Q. Can a PA practice without a physician?
No. The new law continues to support the PA and physician team. PAs will now be required to work with a "participating physician" according to the terms in a "practice agreement."
Q. How is a "participating physician" defined in law?
A "participating physician" means "a physician, a physician designated by a group of physicians under section 333.17049 to represent that group, or a physician designated by a health facility or agency under section 333.20174 to represent that health facility or agency."
Q. What is a Practice Agreement?
A Practice Agreement is a written agreement between a PA and a participating physician that is now required by law under Public Act 379. This agreement generally defines the communication and decision making process by which the PA and the participating physician provide medical care to their patients. The Practice Agreement may also place conditions on specific duties, procedures or drugs, if the parties of the agreement choose to do so. It is not intended to be a burdensome or lengthy document, but rather, provide a general understanding of each professional's knowledge and skills utilized in each unique practice setting.
Q. What information is required within a Practice Agreement?
The new law [Public Act 379] requires the following provisions to be addressed in a Practice Agreement:
"(a) A process between the physician assistant and participating physician for communication, availability and decision making when providing medical treatment to a patient. The process must utilize the knowledge and skills of the physician assistant and participating physician based on their education, training and experience.
(b) A protocol for designating an alternative physician for consultation in situations in which the participating physician is not available for consultation.
(c) The signature of the physician assistant and the participating physician.
(d) A termination provision that allows the physician assistant or participating physician to terminate the practice agreement by providing written notice at least 30 days before the date of termination."
Q. Can credentialing documents qualify as a Practice Agreement?
The document must contain, in some form, the information required by law (as outlined above) in order to qualify as a practice agreement.
Q. How will PAs be able to prescribe medications without delegation from a physician?
Physician Assistants are now defined in PA 379 as independent "Prescribers" (within a practice agreement). This is an exclusive designation in law that, in addition to PAs, includes physicians, dentists, veterinarians, optometrists (limited to therapeutic pharmaceutical agents) and advance practice registered nurses (excluding schedule 2-5 which must be delegated by a physician according to Public Act 499 of 2016).
Q. Does this mean that a PA must now obtain their own state Controlled Substance License (CSL)?
Yes, a PA who intends to prescribe controlled substances must now purchase a State of Michigan Controlled Substance License (CSL) in addition to maintaining their DEA license. CSL applications are available now but will not be approved before March 22, 2017. Click here to apply now for the State of Michigan Controlled Substance License.
Q. Are there any new limitations on the drugs a PA can prescribe?
No, the new law does not place any additional limitations on drugs a PA can prescribe. Michigan law still prohibits PAs from prescribing medical marijuana and abortive drugs.
Q. Are there any new limitations on a PA's scope of practice?
No, the new law does not place any additional scope of practice limitations on PAs.
Q. Does the new Practice Agreement need to be filed with the state or any other government entity?
No. The Practice Agreement must be signed and dated by both the PA and the participating physician prior to a PA providing patient care. The Practice Agreement needs to be readily available for inspection if necessary.
Q. What happens if the conditions of the Practice Agreement change?
If the conditions of the Practice Agreement change, the updated Practice Agreement must be signed and dated by both the PA and participating physician.
Q. Does the Practice Agreement need to be updated annually?
No. The agreement only needs to be updated if the conditions of the Practice Agreement change (see above).
Q. Are there any restrictions in the number of PAs that can enter into a practice agreement with a participating physician?
The new law [Public Act 379] removes the previous PA/physician ratios in law and creates new language that triggers disciplinary action by the Board of Medicine, Board of Osteopathic Medicine or the Podiatric Board of Medicine if the number of PAs per physician exceeds a reasonable standard-of-practice threshold.
Q. Does the new law impact liability or reimbursement for PAs?
There are no predicted changes to liability or reimbursement as a result of the new law. This FAQ will be updated if we expect any impact on liability or reimbursement for PAs.

Long Closing Time
"Short sale" is sort of a misleading name. It doesn't refer to the time involved, but to the seller coming up short on the loan payoff. This is part of why short sales can take four to nine months to close, and sometimes even longer. The bank doesn't just come out and tell the seller how much it would accept for the house, so while the seller and buyer negotiate a price, the seller also has to get that price approved by the bank. Approval can take a long time, and if the bank rejects the first offer, it draws the process out even more.

Large Scale Resin Infuser. © NCC
The National Composites Centre (NCC) and Composite Integration celebrate the successful completion of a year-long project to design and deliver a state-of-the-art, first of its kind, Large Scale Resin Infusion (LSRI) technology. This innovative system has been designed to meet the R&D demands of both aerospace and wind industry manufacturing where components can range from 17m up to 120m in length.
Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) is one of the core competencies of the NCC and High-Value manufacturing in the UK. It is used to produce high integrity composite parts, without the need for an autoclave. Using Liquid Composite Moulding, fibres are first assembled dry into a mould, resin is then pumped into the fibres and drawn through under vacuum prior to being cured in an oven.
The NCC identified the need to procure a Large Scale Resin Infusion (LSRI) capability as part of its iCAP Programme, a £36.7 million investment in ten digital manufacturing technologies being installed at the NCC to directly stimulate and support composites innovation, manufacturing and research development programmes across a range of sectors.
The acquisition of the LSRI equipment from South West -based SME, Composite Integration, an expert in this field, will enable the NCC to widen the applicability of LCM processes to a wider range of components. The first application of this exciting technology will be to enable infusion of complete wing components as part of next generation wing technology developments.
The new capability, now available to companies across the UK, offers a robust means of LSRI and is capable of injecting high resin volumes into a variety of preforms – primarily, but not limited to, using a vacuum bagged set up. This modular machine has additional flexibility to process both single or two-part resin systems and will be teamed with a 20m oven to enable cure of those resins. Together they will create a step change in the production of high quality, high fibre volume fraction composite parts.
The wealth of data collected by the machine is a key component in the NCC driving forwards innovation in technology and techniques to deliver Industry 4.0 for composites. The system can already react to this data in real-time to intelligently adapt the infusion parameters and ensure the mould is filled. As the NCC capability develops it will allow for machine learning to recommend infusion cycle improvements based on data acquired from previous infusion cycles.
"Our Large Scale Resin Infusion equipment is game-changing for large infusion projects and as part of the iCAP programme takes us significantly closer to achieving our ambition of automating the infusion process to help reduce costs and production cycle times," said Peter Giddings, Chief Engineer, iCAP at the NCC. "Whether you are manufacturing 18m long composite wings, boat hulls or bridges, the equipment and our team of experts is here to help you drive forward your emerging technology to industrial application."

July 24-27th marked this year's geek paradise known as Comic-Con, where fantasy, sci-fi, and comic book lovers from all around the world come together and worship the ground that their favorite characters walk on. Filled with cosplay enthusiasts, booths displaying and selling anything a nerd-at-heart could possibly want, and Hollywood mega-stars from such films as The Hobbit, The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, and Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Comic-Con 2014 undoubtedly induced nerd-gasms which are sure to satisfy until next year's star-studded event.
One of geekdom's most beloved television shows is The CW's mainstay Supernatural. The show's cast and crew graced this year's convention-goers with their presence during a live panel discussion, during which they shared insights and teased the fans with snippets of what to expect in the show's upcoming 10th season. One of teases let us in on the fact that Dean, one of the series' main characters played by actor Jensen Ackles, will be treating us to a little demonic karaoke in the season premier.
According to TV Guide, Ackles informed attendees that "Technically in the season opener there's singing and music involved … and a little rump-shaking," alluding to the fact that Demon Dean (Ackles' character was possessed in an earlier episode) apparently likes to sing karaoke. I mean, who doesn't, right?
Anyone else want to take stab as to what song Demon Dean will karaoke to? We don't have too much longer before we find out. The 10th season of Supernatural premiers on October 7th at 9/8c on The CW.

May - Comet 4P/FAYE Closest Approach 29MAY2014
From Wikipedia-
4P/Faye (also known as Faye's Comet or Comet Faye) is a periodic Jupiter-family comet discovered in November 1843 by Hervé Faye at the Royal Observatory in Paris. It will next come to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on May 29, 2014,[1] when it is expected to reach about apparent magnitude 12.5.[2]
The comet was first observed by Faye on 23 November, but bad weather prevented its confirmation until the 25th.[3] It was so faint that it had already passed perihelion about a month before its discovery, and only a close pass by the Earth had made it bright enough for discovery. Otto Wilhelm von Struve reported that the comet was visible to the naked eye at the end of November.[3] It remained visible for smaller telescopes until 10 January 1844 and was finally lost to larger telescopes on 10 April 1844.[3]
In 1844, Thomas James Henderson computed that the comet was a short period comet; by May, its period had been calculated to be 7.43 years.[3] Urbain Le Verrier computed the positions for the 1851 apparition, predicting perihelion in April 1851.[3] The comet was found close to his predicted position on 28 November 1850 by James Challis.[3]
The comet was missed during its apparitions in 1903 and 1918 due to unfavorable observing circumstances.[3] It reached a brightness of about the 9th magnitude in 2006.[4]
The comet is estimated at about 3.5 km in diameter.[5] ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4P/Faye

We have used SQL Server Replication for a long time and had some issues with it that sometimes we needed to reinitialize subscriptions to fix some issues & other times we needed to destroy the whole replication structure & rebuild it again!
Our main concern is that once we have a replication issue, almost all the time the easy solution will be to reinitialize the replication which is not accepted for our business requirements.
Now we are preparing to release a new big project & we are trying to look for 3rd party software for doing SQL Server replication.
Our setup includes Servers distributed in branches ( Different countries ) + mobile clients ( laptops with local SQL Server databases ) and we need to replicate data between all of these with the ability to offer article filtering.
Would somebody please suggest some alternate solutions for us?

Religion's place in American public life has never been fixed. As new communities have arrived, as old traditions have fractured and reformed, as cultural norms have been shaped by shifting economic structures and the advance of science, and as new faith traditions have expanded the range of religious confessions within America's religious landscape, the claims posited by religious faiths—and the respect such claims may demand—have been subjects of near-constant change. In The Limits of Religious Tolerance, Alan Jay Levinovitz pushes against the widely held (and often unexamined) notion that unbounded tolerance must and should be accorded to claims forwarded on the basis of religious belief in a society increasingly characterized by religious pluralism. Pressing at the distinction between tolerance and respect, Levinovitz seeks to offer a set of guideposts by which a democratic society could identify and observe a set of limits beyond which religiously grounded claims may legitimately be denied the expectation of unqualified non-interference.
Alan Jay Levinovitz is assistant professor of religion at James Madison University. His research focuses on the relationships between religion and literature, with particular attention to Chinese classical thought and comparative ethics. His writings have appeared in The Atlantic, Slate, and The Chronicle Review.

This week on H's school, we were learning about Ohio. In a couple of the books we looked at, there were pictures of the Amish and their buggies since there is a large Amish population in Ohio (at least according to the books, I've never been there).
I was explaining to H what Amish people are like and what they believe. H declared that she doesn't want us to ever become Amish because she likes colorful clothes too much! Lol.
In one of the books we read, America the Beautiful: Ohio, I found a number of facts about the Amish interesting and it made me start to wonder if maybe they do a lot more right then we realize.
- They base their lifestyles on Romans 12:2 "Be not conformed to the world."
- Simplicity is more important than convenience.
- Amish men stop shaving their beards after they're married (I never knew this. This explains the long beards! And I'm glad we don't follow this tradition, although it might cut down on infidelity. No just slipping a ring off, you'd have to shave your beard off and that would be a bit more obvious! Although pity the man who can't grow a beard…)
- Self-reliance and neighborly assistance are valued strongly. (I like this a lot!)
- They believe if they are faithful to their religious values, their needs will be met.
- They don't expect the government to take care of them. They don't collect social security, medicare or medicaid benefits. They take care of their own elderly and needy members of their community.
- They still seek modern medical care, but they don't have health insurance. Instead, they pay members' medical expenses out of a community fund (sounds a lot like the sharing ministry we're a part of).
- They help each other build their houses (think barn raising!) and harvest their crops.
I really like their values with taking care of each other, not relying on the government for handouts (or anything else!), and their simple way of life. While I am super thankful for modern technology and conveniences (hello grocery stores, hot water and electricity), I can also understand the reasons that they choose to live without those things.
I don't really believe that those things are sinful in and of themselves, though. Preaching that they are isn't truthful and is in essence putting extra hedges around God's Word. Hedges that while meant to protect, also ends up limiting the freedom that God's grace provides. All that being said, I don't think that God intended for us to live life in such a fast pace either.
The American way of life leaves a lot to be desired. The fast paced, always busy, mom-is-a-taxi way of life isn't best. I am personally so glad that I get to stay home with my kids. I am glad that we aren't both working although having two paychecks would be nice, its not worth it to be so busy and stressed and never spending enough time with the kids. Who am I kidding? I don't feel like I spend enough time with them when I'm home all day with them. How in the world would I get to spend any time with them if I worked outside the home? But that's a whole other discussion.
Seth and I have talked on multiple occasions about whether we should have our kids (obviously just H at this point, K is way too young) in outside activities like sports, dance or music lessons. We've both agreed that we honestly don't think its ideal at least in this stage of life. We feel like we're busy enough as it is. We don't want to commit to any more time spent outside the home. Our budget can't really afford it either.
I say all this to express that I think the Amish get a number of things right. They band together and help support each other. Isn't that what the Body of Christ is meant to do? How much more could we get accomplished if we lived in unity, selflessness and generosity? Wouldn't we have much more time to serve each other and to spend with our families if we lived simpler lifestyles? Just a thought.

No Taxpayer Dollars for Political Campaigns
Bee gives SB 594 the Best Bad Review Ever -- Get the Latest
Are taxpayer dollars being used to pay for campaigns that work to protect redevelopment and cities' right to take private property?
The League of California Cities and its allies are going to great lengths to keep the voters from finding out. And it's at the heart of broad, bipartisan reform legislation.
SB 594 (Hill) opens the books on millions of campaign dollars paid out by so-called "non-public funds" from taxpayer-financed non-profits, like the League of California Cities. It also strengthens state law to ensure that public dollars are not being diverted into a secret campaign war chest.
Secret Donors … Hidden Profits?
Since 2003, more than $17 million of campaign money has been spent from "non-public funds" -- anonymous accounts run by taxpayer-financed non-profits.
No FPPC number … no donor reporting.
By itself, the League of California Cities has spent more than $12 million on politics from these hidden accounts, dwarfing their traditional reported spending.
Where's the money coming from?
While these taxpayer-financed non-profits are spending millions on politics, the League and the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) are also collecting millions in "marketing fees" from the sale of taxpayer-subsidized bonds sold by a bond agency they created – the California Statewide Community Development Authority (CSCDA).
The state of California considers these proceeds to be public funds. . But these semi-public agencies treat them as private profits, exempt from public scrutiny.
What are they trying to hide?
The symmetry between these "marketing fees" and the amount spent on campaigns is, let's say, eerie.
- In 2006, according to the Orange Co. Register, the League of Cities moved $3.6 million from their bond proceeds account into their hidden donors fund. They turned around and spent $3.5 million from the same fund to defeat Prop. 90 – a measure dealing with the cities' power to take private property through eminent domain.
- In 2010, the League received $1.7 million in bond proceeds. They spent $2.5 million in "non-public funds" to pass Prop. 22, which would have sheltered taxpayer subsidies through the now-defunct "redevelopment" agencies.
The public deserves to know how its money is spent, and especially deserves to know if it's being diverted into campaigns.
Senate Bill 594 shines light on the sources of these millions of anonymous dollars.
What it does
- Holds taxpayer-financed non-profits to the same accountability standards as everyone else that participates in politics;
- Strengthens the ban on use of public funds for political action;
- Requires that taxpayer-financed non-profits publicly report where they're getting the money for the anonymous non-public funds accounts;
- Requires that the proceeds from sale of tax-free bonds be separated out from any campaign accounts and fully disclosed.
What it doesn't do
- Doesn't affect traditional 501c3 non-profits (whose funds are derived from private donations);
- Doesn't restrict any organization's ability to take positions on campaigns;
- Doesn't prevent anyone from participating in open, fully-reported campaigns
Who supports it?
Senator Hill's measure is supported by an astonishing coalition spanning the political spectrum.
- Good government groups, such as the California Clean Money Campaign.
- Taxpayer advocates such as the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn.
- Labor groups, such as the California Labor Federation, the State Building Trades Assn. and California Professional Firefighters.
What they're saying about SB 594
Who opposes it?
Senator Hill's measure is predictably opposed by the biggest spenders that stand the most to gain from protecting these hidden accounts: The League of California Cities and California State Association of Counties.
How you can help!
The League of California Cities is sending out a fusillade of misinformation about SB 594, mobilizing its army of city managers. We also believe they have intentionally misled some public safety organizations into believing they could be impacted.
We need you to help fight back!

Sunday Update: Deleting, More Picking, Tooltips
Just rolled out the last features and bug fixes for today, here's the complete list of what changed this weekend:
- Picoids can now be "deleted", which works through revoking ownership. Picoids deleted this way will be moved to a special bot account, the account of "Mr. Dumpster", where they stay until we figure out what to do with them. Mr. Dumpsters picoids do not show up in remixes and on the front page. (Ticket #23)
- Ctrl+Click now picks the color under the cursor. (Ticket #29)
- Hovering remix and front page picoids shows you the picoids owner.
- Bumped number of front page picoids from 48 to 92.
- Bug Fix: When cloning or forking picoids, the canvas is now properly updated; changes done on the original since start of viewing are properly reflected. (Ticket #16)

Feature Update: Cloning, Color Picking
We just rolled out a feature update. Here's a short summary of the changes:
- User pages are now public. You can show off your user page now.
- Picoids: Toolbar for painting tools.
- Picoids: Tooltips. Hover an element to learn more about it.
- Picoids: The color palette is now on the right side, next to the tools. Shortens paths and groups elements more logically.
- Picoids: Color picker tool. Click, then click a color in the picoid to select your active color. Left click selects foreground, right click selects background color.
- Picoids: Clone picoid tool. Clone existing or modified picoids. This also allows you to make copies of your own picoids. The tool has been tuned to prevent accidental clones as far as possible.
- A handful of wording changes.
- Bonus: Pattern button draws the edited picoid as background tiles, so you can test if your tiling works.
- Fixed being able to edit picoids when not signed in. Too much work lost because of it.

What Bottleship is About
We've been unclear about what Bottleship actually is and what our goals are. Here's the transcript of the best explanation I could come up for now, from a Twitter Q&A:
With Bottleship, we want to solve this problem and foster massively crowd sourced entertainment - by the masses for the masses.
Bottleship is currently invite only, but we already have a handful of dedicated members. If you'd like to join, but can't find anyone who's already a shipper, drop either Sylvia or me a mail and we'll send you an invite.
Browser compatibility: at the moment, both Google Chrome 12+ and Firefox 6+ on the Desktop are supported. We'll try to fix experiences on other browsers as far as possible, but using Bottleship with Google Chrome is highly recommended.
Many of us dream of making a computer game or a machinima, yet we often find ourselves unable to gather the necessary assets and logic for such a project; assembling a productive team is even harder, when the only reward is fame and 15 minutes of popularity. We have a lot of awesome ideas we can't realize because of time or money constraints. Many hobbyist projects fall apart before they have even started.
|Nyan Cat could have been a Bottleship project
At Bottleship, you will be able to playfully create new content, and combine this content into larger pieces, collages and works. Everything created at Bottleship is Creative Commons licensed, so that any content can be copied, modified and integrated into your own projects.
This way, anything crafted here can be of use to everyone. Assets can change many hands before they turn into a successful idea, without contributors knowing each other, or having to plan ahead. Because assets are always created using Bottleship, everything can be combined into larger pieces. It just fits.
We focus on making the creation process fun, and taking the seriousness out of it. We do not want Bottleshippers to feel pressured, and invite them to play around instead. After all, this is the perfect condition for maximum creativity.
Bottleship was founded two weeks ago and is in early alpha stage. At the moment you can only pixel small textures (Picoids), but it will be possible to create sprites, animations, scripts, sounds, music, maps & levels, meshes and shaders later on.
Bottleship is currently invite only, but we already have a handful of dedicated members. If you'd like to join, but can't find anyone who's already a shipper, drop either Sylvia or me a mail and we'll send you an invite.
Browser compatibility: at the moment, both Google Chrome 12+ and Firefox 6+ on the Desktop are supported. We'll try to fix experiences on other browsers as far as possible, but using Bottleship with Google Chrome is highly recommended.

Migration complete!
You might have noticed: we have moved. The Bottleship has finally anchored at bottleship.net, so update your bookmarks, because this is going to be our domain for the foreseeable future!

I am looking to generate flood plain polygons to represent 20 and 100 year flood zones, in the most accurate and efficient way possible, given the following datasets:
- River cross section polylines
- River flow polylines (center lines between opposing shorelines)
- 20 year and 100 year elevation values for the vertices of each cross section
- A digital elevation model (raster with an elevation value for each pixel) of the land surface
Here is my proposed methodology so far:
- Form polygons delimiting each section, the river center line and inland areas well beyond the flood plain
- For each polygon formed in the previous step, extract the intersecting raster surface (Extract by Mask)
- Isolate the pixels of the DEM that are less than or equal to the flood elevation (20 and 100 year) value for the section using the Reclassify tool
- Perform a raster (reclassified raster from previous step) to vector (polygons) to form floodplains between each section.
- Merge the polygons together to form a continuous floodplain
I am looking for insight and suggestions to produce the most accurate results possible given the available data.
I have access to ArcGIS and the Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst extensions.

iCal and Power PC / 10.5 leopard, 5 days to the end to push notifications!
So long and thanks for all the fish! In Apple's eternal quest for your money, they are continuing their disrespect for Mac OS 10.5 Leopard users less than two years after 10.6 came on to the market. forcing you to upgrade your OS at an increasing pressure rate that would make Microsoft blush.
In seven days, Mobile Me will no longer support iCal push to Leopard clients. F*** the What?
I run a shed load of Power PC macs which refuse to die…. And their OS was only superseded only in June 2009, less than two years ago… At which point all updates ceased abruptly, with only security patches from that point on.
I always remembered the adage…. "You don't need a new PC because the old one will always continue to do what it always has done…"
Bah humbug. Not any more… With the cloud centred life that we are all starting to live, they can rescind anything they want at any time…. And with MobileMe, they're doing just that… already…

It is said that proverbs provide a good insight into how the people of a country think.
Many proverbs in Japan are related to agricultural practices and customs because of the ties between Japanese culture and agriculture. Others are from Buddhism and some refer to women and nature.
I've included a few examples below, along with the translations and their equivalent in English.
Saru mo ki kara ochiru.
Even monkeys fall from trees.
(Anyone can make a mistake.)
Go ni itte wa go si shitagae.
Obey the customs of the village.
(When in Rome do as the Romans.)
Hstake kara hamaguri wa torenu.
You can't get clams from a field.
(You can't get blood from a stone.)
Sendo uko shite fune yama ni noboru.
Too many skippers bring the boat to the mountain.
(Too many cooks spoil the broth.)
Chiri mo tsumoreba yama to naru.
Even dust amassed will grow into a mountain.
(Great oaks from little acorns grow.)
Koi to seki to wa kakusarenu.
Love and a cough cannot be hidden.
(Love conquers all.)
Yanagi ni kaze.
A will before the wind.
(Follow the path of least resistance.)
Nana korobi ya oki.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
(If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.)
Heso o kamedomo oyobanu.
It's no good trying to bite off your navel.
(Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.)

As a child, I loved reading so much that I not only read in bed, at the table and in the bath, but in the shower and – not so successfully – on my bicycle.
I enjoyed books in a slightly unorthodox way, too – many of my childhood books have ragged edges where I tore paper from the margins in order to eat it.
I wrote my first book at eight. It was entitled The Dragon in the Teapot and would probably have been a huge hit if I hadn't lost the only copy on a family day out.
Some years later, armed with several different types of backups, I'm busy writing romantic science fiction and fantasy for young adults and adults.
I live with my partner, our two teenage daughters, and three cats, near Sherwood Forest in England. I'm a Christian, a feminist, and a lover of cheese, chocolate, stationery shops and eighties pop music. I still read in most places, but I no longer eat paper.

Recently, my cousin CJ Magpayo left me a message through Messenger that she read from a newspaper back in the Philippines that there's an issue back there that, bloggers will be asked to register for a license to blog. So, I researched about the article and found the exact article she read online and found this…
"If the plan of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) gets approved and implemented, then all bloggers in the Philippines will need to register for a license.
This, of course, is not limited to bloggers but to anybody who creates content and publishes it online."
–Rom Feria, Manila Bulletin, Jan. 26, 2009 ("Do You Have a License to Blog?)
What was that? I also read that every blogger will be asked to pay Php 6,300 (roughly $150 USD) per year. What is wrong with them? Do they know that the servers are in US and some UK? Therefore, they will be under this law, if ever.
License to Blog: Where is Democracy?
What is this all about? just because of the Bambee Dela Paz Vs Pangandaman's case? Where is the freedom of speech then? Why everything is a big deal when the simple answer for everything is just ignore it if it's not true. Plus, the economy of the country started booming when the call center industry begun, and guess what? they are all online based companies. Well, most of the business now are online based.
This will just kill the economy if they don't realize that one action after another affects each other. Php 6,300 a year? It's more expensive than paying an annual payment for a Paid Hosting Company to start a blog! WT?!!! Trying to scream how naive they are in the Internet World. I hope NTC will study what are they trying to implement, do they really know?
This is not just happen in the Philippines, it happens to other countries as well before us like Malaysia, UK(even them, who got their own servers), US, etc…but what? Nothing happens… UK and US got the servers but still nothing happens, because they understand how it works. Internet is another dimension, its complicated but powerful. Only there, the truth comes out, that's all I can say.

On this Labor Day 2011, I find myself reflective, within a lens of wide and deep gratitude, for all those who work hard on a daily basis to serve others. On a personal basis, I am grateful for my own clients, bosses, work colleagues, professional mentors, and many others. From a Central Texas perspective, I am grateful to the fire fighters and emergency personnel who are working around-the-clock to eradicate several horrible wildfires burning out of control, in some cases, around the great cities of Austin and Bastrop and elsewhere.
In sum, I am grateful to work, for work, and for those who work alongside me. For those looking for work across our country, I am especially thinking of you.
Many blessings to all on this Labor Day 2011. Melody

There was an ad in a parenting magazine that I found when I was pregnant with The Boy. It was a black and white picture of a beautiful baby with big eyes. The words on the side of the picture read like this:
31,536,000 seconds.
525,600 minutes.
8,760 hours
365 days.
1 birthday candle.
Don't blink.
I cut that ad out and placed it on the fridge before I even gave birth to The Boy and whenever I would open the fridge on a sleepless night, or during the day when realities set in on how parenting is (mostly) hard work, I would see that ad and it would remind me that life is precious and it will certainly go quickly so enjoy it. I eventually pulled it off the fridge and put it in his baby book, but it made such an impact on my mind that I think of that ad often...especially in times when I start to believe that things will never change...that we will always be struggling with a certain issue (i.e. - sleepless nights, diapers, learning to read...it goes on and on!)
Today we celebrated The Girl's 6th birthday and it seems hard to believe that 6 years ago today I accidentally pushed snooze on a 5:30am alarm and the hubby and I were almost late for the scheduled birth of our second child! Of course nothing could've happened till I got to the hospital...But we felt a little guilty. That would NEVER have happened with the first baby!
This weekend will be filled with Princess parties and cake and ice cream and the prayers of a Mom and Dad that time would slow down...Just a bit...But just in case...
...Don't Blink.

Alex Heffes (/ˈhɛfəs/)[1] is a British film composer (born 2 September 1971). His film scores include those for the BAFTA-winning Touching the Void, and Oscar-winning movies One Day in September, The Last King of Scotland, and Inside Job. Heffes was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for his work on Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.[2]
Early life and career[edit]
Heffes was born in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, and learned the piano from an early age. He graduated from Oxford University with first class honours and started his professional life playing keyboards and writing and arranging for commercials and TV (his band is featured playing in jazz club scenes in the film Circus). This led to him becoming assistant to composer Simon Boswell with whom he scored over 20 movies including A Midsummer Night's Dream and Cousin Bette. He also collaborated on Elton John's score to Women Talking Dirty and worked with members of Blur.[3][4]
Film scoring[edit]
In 1999, after a chance meeting with Kevin Macdonald he wrote the score to the Oscar winning documentary One Day in September.[5] This led to a long collaboration with Macdonald, on films such as Touching the Void, State of Play and The Last King of Scotland. During the production of Last King of Scotland he travelled to Uganda to produce the songs and score in the movie.[5] He has worked with many notable directors including Stephen Frears (The Program), Mira Nair (Queen of Katwe), Justin Chadwick (The First Grader, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), Peter Webber (Emperor) and Catherine Hardwick (Red Riding Hood). He contributed additional arrangements to Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd.
In 2011 he released his first solo album, Face to Face. The album was created by improvising on location in a series of one on one collaborations with artists such as Regina Spektor, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Tunde Jegede. The tracks with Matthew Barley were recorded in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in London.[3]
He has been nominated for a Golden Globe,[2] a BAFTA[6] and won an Ivor Novello Award in 2012 for The First Grader.[7]
He always conducts his own orchestral scores[8] and frequently plays piano on his scores.

While the Western Roman Empire did not officially come to an end until 476 A.D., when Romulus Augustus was forced to give up his power to the Germanic ruler Odoacer, there had been increased fighting and instability throughout the Empire for many years, including in the Iberian Peninsula, which the Romans referred to as Hispania. The Visigoths took advantage of this political unrest and invaded Hispania in 415 A.D. They eventually established their monarchy in Toledo, Spain.
For many years, however, the kingdom was divided. Up until the reign of King Leovigild, who ruled from 584-585 A.D., the Visigothic nobility of Spain were Arians, while their subjects were Catholic. (Arius, 250-336 A.D. denied the divinity of Christ, and his teachings were declared heretical at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.) This all changed, however, when Leovigild's son Reccared became king and converted to Catholicism in 587, and the kingdom converted with him. The formal conversion of the kingdom was confirmed at the Council of Toledo in May of 589 A.D. Under this newly unified rule, the Catholic Church in Spain flourished.(1)
St. Isidore, Bishop of Seville, lived during this time. His writings would influence Europe throughout the Middle Ages and even into the Renaissance. St. Isidore was born in Cartagena around 560 A.D., and his family immigrated to Seville when he was young. St. Isidore had three siblings who also became saints: Leander, Fulgentius, and Florentina. St. Leander and St. Isidore both became bishops of Seville, St. Fulgentius, bishop of Carthagena, and St. Florentina, a nun. St. Isidore was educated at the Cathedral school in Seville, which was the first school of its kind in Spain, where he was taught the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) and the quadrivium (geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, and music). When St. Isidore became bishop he declared himself protector of the monastic life, and he was influential in great educational reforms throughout Spain: all bishops were required to establish seminaries in their cities modeled after the Cathedral school in Seville, and the study of Greek, Hebrew, the liberal arts, as well as law and medicine, was encouraged. St. Isidore was also responsible for introducing the study of Aristotle and Greek philosophy to Spain.(2)
Despite his many accomplishments, St. Isidore of Seville is perhaps best known for his prolific writing, which covered a wide variety of subjects, such as: the Church, law, theology, scripture, and literature. His Etymologies, which was an encyclopedia of all knowledge of the Western world at that time, covered such topics as: geography, animals, building, road making, agriculture, ships, houses, languages, and even furniture, was a highly esteemed work of reference and it continued to be printed during the Renaissance. Without St. Isidore's History of the Goths, Sueves, and Vandals, we would know little, if anything, about Gothic history.(3) St. Isidore died in Seville on April 4, 636 at the age of 76, and was declared a Doctor of the Church within sixteen years of his death.
There is a story that tells how as a boy St. Isidore was a poor student and one day ran away from school. When he sat down to rest on the side of the road near a spring, he noticed a rock that had been hollowed out by drips of water. After seeing this he decided to return to school and apply this same perseverance to his studies, and with the help of God he became one of the most learned men of his time.
