TyTool 10r4 with everything... The attachment has the new versions of the tooset in it. All DVD extras and tserver versions are found within it.
VSplit HAS NOT BEEN updated to match this release of TyTool. Sorry. I will get it out as soon as possible. I just didn't want to wait on this any longer. Hopefully the next release will be no more than a week away.
Version 10 is a major upgrade from the earlier 9 series of TyTool. It adds Closed Captioning, a preference wizard, a host of bug fixes, better audio transcoding support, ever improving HD support, etc... etc... etc...
Please check the included docs for information about what has changed and why. The release notes for 10r1/2/3 augment the 9r series of docs. Read those as well if you are new to the tool. Also look at the lrhorer documentation for TyTool it is an incredible resource. And last but not least look in the help menu in TyTool itself for the QuickStart, FAQ, etc...
Highlights of the Fixes and Features in this Release:
737- Looked at the bad stream I got from forum member rbreding. Had some odd issues at the very start. It was nothing but audio for the first several chunks. And I mean nothing which is odd. Normally there are CC and other formatting and spacing entries. It was throwing the detection routines off. This has been fixed and while this stream works now it is just 1 more potential issue down.
738- Added support for the jump option to the MUX-on-Download feature. There are times when jumping in just a bit is really what is needed. So now it does that even on download when trying to directly produce a playable file.
739- Fixed the problem with the HD MUX-on-download that KMT and other users were experiencing.
747- Added the Strip RIFF code back into TyTool. This feature was present but got lost in the recent disk problems. The entry shows up in the menus below the Split File(s) option. What it is used for is to strip the CDXA RIFF formatting information from an SVCD mpeg file. I have found a few things from various sources that were sent to me as an SVCD CD. I wanted to put them onto DVD with menus etc... So I wrote this handy dandy little option. It pulls everything from the file that isn't data. The resulting file as an MPEG-2 PS that can then be processed with TyTool to cut the start and end if needed, and then be turned into a VOB so that it can be used as the source for the creation of a DVD. Using the Attach VOB feature you can turn multiple disks into 1 "show" on a DVD. Usefull in certain circumstance.
748- Fixed the "0 cut point" problem that FredThompson reported. The problem was entering the FAE window and then exiting using the ESC key rather than the close button. The actual check for it was turned on in 10r3 so that if it was being done before it was OK. Now you can't generated the bad cut point in the first place.

Two years ago, Google started to test an analytics service for blogs. MeasureMap, the service acquired by Google to improve the interface of Google Analytics, was still available and MeasureMap users were invited to convert their accounts to Google Analytics. At that time, Google Analytics experimented with integrating MeasureMap features like showing information about comments, blog posts, links from other sites. For Blogger blogs, Google also added a "stats" tab on the dashboard.
It's not clear if the Google Analytics experiment is still available, but Google released Blogger Stats, a Blogger feature that lets you see real-time data about a blog: the most popular posts, the number of pageviews for each post, the total number of pageviews, a list of traffic sources and search keywords, a breakdown of pageviews by country, browser and operating system. Blogger Stats is only available if you use Blogger in Draft, a playground where Blogger tests many new features.
"The coolest thing about the new Blogger Stats is that it monitors and analyzes your visitor traffic in near-real-time. You can see which posts are getting the most visits and which sites are sending traffic to your blog right now," says Google. Blogger Stats doesn't use Google Analytics, which offers more complex reports, but they are updated every hour and sometimes even less often.

Robert Hardy on his Former Role as Cornelius Fudge
Feb 14, 2009
Actor Robert Hardy has given a new interview, where he discusses his former role as Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge for the Harry Potter series. Confirming the part of Fudge is not in the upcoming HBP, Mr. Hardy reflects back on the joy he had when working on the set with his fellow Potter actors. Quotage:
I loved my time as Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic, but my
character has now been erased! I knew it would happen, because he's
quite a good part in the book, but there was no way they were ever
going to fit everything into one film.
All three producers
rang me up, separately, on the same day to give me the news – so I was
told three times. They said, 'We're so sorry, we're having to cut the
book by half,' so that was the end of that. I was very sad, because of
the amusing and wicked people I worked with, like Robbie Coltrane,
Michael Gambon and Maggie Smith, who is an old friend. It was such fun
to film, and there were so many laughs on set that it was hard to come
up with a sober face just before they shouted, 'Action!'
Robert Hardy also mentions some of the issues facing him as an older actor working in films (he is now 83 years old).
Every time I do something now, I have to jump the medical hurdle.
The doctors usually say, 'Good God, is that how old you are?' then they
report to the insurers, who immediately cry, 'Help!'
insurers for the Harry Potter films were insuring me for a massive
amount of money and being extra reluctant about it. I could almost hear
them saying, 'Is he worth it? He's broken most of his bones, he's had
cancer and he might drop dead at any moment!'

I was in Paris recently for a meeting about motives or motifs, and since I'm too jet lagged for real work let me ask the following somewhat frivolous question. The word "motif" is usually translated as "motive" in English. However, I wonder if this is really the best choice. "Motive" has, for me, a primarily psychological meaning, whereas "motif" -- which is a perfectly good English word -- means pattern or theme. I guess my question is which word better captures the intended meaning?
Incidentally, it appears that this usage of "motive" goes back to Grothendieck himself, cf."Standard conjectures on algebraic cycles". So perhaps, one should allow him to have the last word and not question his motives, which have wonderful if unintended consequences.

Watching the Lighting of the Tree at Lincoln Center tonight we were surprised to hear that Sasha Cohen was going to be on.
Seemed like a strange choice, despite the popularity of BORAT we weren't exactly sure what sort of "Family Appropriate" entertainment he would bring to the show.
You can imagine our surprise when the entire show came and went without him.
So we had to rewind. What the hell? We didn't see him. We had skipped through Christina Aguilera - despite the fact that she looks very nice now and not at all like a living BRATZ doll - we were bored. And that's how we missed it. You see, there is apparently a Sasha Cohen who is a skater. I'm not even sure I'm spelling her name right. But she was much more family appropriate than Borat....I'm fairly sure. Here is a photo of the nice lady who did a lovely figure skating routine - the lady who is NOT Borat.
Don't act like you weren't confused too!

Okay, not that I'm a big figure skating fan, but I have to admit the first time I heard about Borat, I said, "the figure skater?"

"A map they all wanted, but couldn't buy."
"Serious fishermen statewide know of the legendary Stream Map. For the past twenty years, it's a map they all wanted, but couldn't buy."
"I've been looking for a copy of the Stream Map
for over 10 years."
Professor Higbee was offered $400.00
for one of his last copies of the map.
Why? What makes the map so special?
Howard Higbee, a Penn State University professor, spent over 30 years creating the first stream and lake map, a map that few map makers would ever attempt.
He started with aerial photographs and 909 topographic maps (1 inch equals 2,000 feet). Then, he reduced again and again. By hand, with sharpened pencil points, he drew every stream and lake onto the map.
I wouldn't need to write another word if I were able to
lay a Stream Map in front of you at this very moment.
My business partner Karl and I have shown the Stream and Lake Map to hundreds of anglers, and the first words out of their mouths are almost always the same. "Where can I get one?"
I'm pretty sure you would react the same way! But -- with online resolution what it is and the large map sizes -- it's very difficult to properly show the maps online. As you view the maps on this site, please keep-in-mind that there is no substitute for seeing the whole map spread out in front of you.
"I'd take you there but I'd have to blindfold you."
As publishers of the Stream Maps, we've come in contact with anglers of all levels of experience -- from top ranked fishing authors to beginners. Without exception, they all run their finger across the map until they locate their favorite spot. One guy jokingly said, "I'll pay you $100 to erase that one." Another said, "I know a fantastic spot. I'd take you there but I'd have to blindfold you."
We've heard many similar stories about "secret spots." They have something in common -- that is, they aren't all necessarily extremely remote -- but just hidden. Places, so the speak, "just over the hill" maybe even "right under your nose." For example, some of the best smallmouth bass fishing in the country is right in front of the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion.
BONUS #2 — Finding Secret Fishing Spots
You'll get this free report when you purchase a Stream and Lake Map. You'll get 47 tips, tactics and tools that will help you scout and sniff out your own secret spots. With this report you'll get 47 ways to up your odds. For example, #3-How to use watershed boundaries. #8 Fish migrate. #12-Overlooked spots. #4-Avoid the crowds on the famous name streams and lakes, instead check out the water that feeds into them. #17-How to find the cold water that trout love. #27-Think like a hunter. #20-Transition spots. #15-Reading the water.
10% of All Anglers Catch 90% of the Fish.
The ten-percent are the guys driving by you on their way to a spot better than the spot you are fishing. They aren't about to reveal their secrets or tell you where they are going. If you fall into the 90% group of average anglers you are probably spending most of your precious fishing time with your line in easy places to find and get to.
You may be doing everything else correctly. You have the right equipment -- and the top lures, flies, or bait. But, if you are fishing over-fished waters at the wrong time, you are usually wasting your time.
Everyone's done this at some point in his or her fishing career. You're driving near a stream anxious to get your line in the water -- you spot several other anglers fishing and think, "They must know something." Or, maybe there are no other anglers -- but you notice the telltale signs of crowds -- fishhooks in trees, old bait containers and streamside trails so trampled they feel like sidewalks underfoot.
Then, oh-boy, you see nice-sized fish. And they are really close. You cast and practically hit a big one with your bait. But instead of striking, it appears to yawn and doesn't budge. A sure sign of over-fished water. Whenever fish see hundreds of anglers in one day, they practically become permanently spooked.
In total contrast, consider the stories of fishing in the remotest places on earth such as Alaska, Labrador, and Siberia. Fish rarely see humans or artificial lures and flies -- and anglers lucky enough to travel to these areas report hooking up with and releasing so many huge fish that their shoulders begin to hurt.
More water than you ever thought existed.
We are not trying to say that Professor Higbee's® maps will locate waters that have never been fished. But, the first thing you will see when you look at your map is more water than you ever thought existed -- a virtual lifetime of streams and lakes for you to explore.
Your big advantage.
Your advantage is that a majority of anglers think of fishing as a trip to the mall -- where they simply park and catch fish, unaware of water that they can't see from their car. Now, with the map and Explorer's Guide, you have the upper hand -- you can avoid over-fished waters.
BONUS #3 — How Anglers Stalk and Catch Record Fish, by Brent Postal.
A FREE report you can download immediately after you purchase a Professor Higbee's® Stream and Lake Map.
The methods and tactics in this report are more like hunting than fishing.
Small and average size fish far outnumber the record and trophy fish. To merely get lucky you'd need to increase the number of hours you fish by 100 times.
The only practical way to get into the "fight of your life" is to use the hunting tactics in this free report.
The average really big fish have evaded capture for more than 10 years. The same instincts and habits that have allowed them to evade capture can also be used to catch them.
There are "windows-of-opportunity." Times when their guard is down.
Like hunting, it's a matter of patience and being at the right place at the right time.
Here's just some of the information you'll get—in this new and exclusive 24 page report by Brent Postal.
Plan of attack, the right tools—the right rod, line, reel, hooks and other essentials.
Presenting to big-fish, how to read the surroundings and the water, water clarity, stealth, what big-fish love to eat. Not all big-fish eat big-food, how big fish feed, big fish senses, digestion times, temperature. Best times to target the big boys, big-fish ambush points, cover, tactics and techniques. When all else fails, playing a big fish—you need to be prepared, the battle and landing a big fish.
PLUS, Get the advice of Lefty Kreh, Rich Osthoff, Charles Meck, Doug Hannon, Tim Wade and Eric Stroup. And, the pros pick their favorite spots for catching trophy fish.
And much more...
With a Professor Higbee's® Stream and Lake Map—Plus BONUS #1, BONUS #2, and BONUS #3, you can plan your own trophy stalking adventures.
"Mine Looks Great on the Wall."
--Joe Humphreys, Author, Joe Humphrey's Trout Tactics
Here's what others have said about how a Professor Higbee's® Stream and Lake Map looks on their wall. Jerry Packo, Scranton Times said: "Makes a great addition to a den wall. It's also something to be passed down generation to generation." Paul McHugh of the San Francisco Chronicle said: "This wondrous document, a four by five foot map, shows every significant creek, stream, river, and lake. And the stark beauty of that network of interlocking, lacy natural patterns makes the map an interesting wall decoration."
Not only a useful tool, the map is also a work-of-art you can sit back and admire for years to come.
If you're tired of getting skunked -- then you need this valuable information. It's really very simple.
If you want to find new places to fish, if you want to catch more and bigger fish, then you need a Professor Higbee's® Stream & Lake Map.
ONLY $24.95 for paper-rolled or paper folded maps.
And, $39.95 for laminated-rolled Stream and Lake Maps.
An excellent value! Our Pennsylvania Map is a condensation of aerial photos and 909 topographical maps -- reduced again and again to create one highly detailed map. The 909-topo maps alone currently cost $6.00 each -- that's $5,454.00 to buy all of them. Yet you get the combined information on all these maps with one Professor Higbee's® Stream and Lake Map.
Our Guarantee -- You don't have to decide now.

Cops promise to use footage for training purposes
Paul Joseph Watson
Thursday, July 12, 2012
A Florida man was repeatedly tased by police officers and arrested for refusing to identify himself, but instead of apologizing, the Casselberry Police Department insisted it would use footage of the incident for training purposes.
The video begins with police accusing Zikomo Peurifoy of jaywalking before they demand to see his identification.
The officer is asked by Peurifoy what statute requires that he show his ID, to which he responds, "Give me your ID or you're going to go to jail."
When Peurifoy refuses, two officers grab him while the man warns he will press charges for assault because he has committed no crime. Requests for a supervisor to be called are ignored.
After cops attempt to handcuff Peurifoy, he resists before a taser is used repeatedly while Peurifoy yells, "You are assaulting me."
Peurifoy still manages to escape the clutches of police before he is repeatedly tased again before he finally falls to the ground and is arrested.
Far from apologizing for the incident, which appears to clearly show cops over-reacting, the Casselberry Police Department defended the actions of police and told WFTV, "That their officers followed policy so well that they're going to use the video for training."
Peurifoy faces charges of "resisting with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer," despite the fact that the video shows Peurifoy did not attack any of the officers at any point during the confrontation.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:106}
In order to detain an person and demand their ID, police need to have reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is taking place.
Aside from the dubious contention that Peurifoy was mandated to show his ID because of alleged jaywalking, this video seems to speak more to the fact that police now believe citizens are legally required to follow their every order.
This myth crops up again and again when citizens are told by law enforcement that filming police officers is illegal, when a 2011 First Circuit Court of Appeals decision confirmed that it is not.
Despite the law saying that recording police officers on duty is a First Amendment right, numerous incidents have occurred where citizens are intimidated and arrested for doing so, arising out of the false premise that failing to obey an order from a police officer, despite that command being unlawful, is itself a crime.

Weingarten Hails Obama Victory as Extraordinary Milestone for Country
Citing President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden's "powerful promise of hope and their sound solutions to the country's most vexing problems" as the keys that helped them win the nation's trust and confidence, AFT president Randi Weingarten congratulated the winning candidates on their extraordinary Nov. 4 election victory.
"So much about this campaign has been historic and electrifying," Weingarten said. "The incredible voter interest Barack Obama generated, especially among young, independent and first-time voters; the sea change in voting patterns across America; and the election of America's first African-American president are all extraordinary milestones for our country. I am hopeful that this civic excitement and engagement will be sustained for the benefit of our great democracy.
"At a time when the focus on strengthening public education has been all but eclipsed by other issues, Sen. Obama has shown both deep understanding of, and real interest in, the need to ensure every child receives a world-class education. The members and leaders of the AFT welcome President-elect Obama's commitment to working together to strengthen public education. We look forward to partnering with him and with members of both parties to fulfill this promise."
Watch video
The AFT's political operation in the 2008 elections was unprecedented. The union deployed nearly 600 full-time campaign coordinators and 5,000 volunteers to assist affiliates and the AFL-CIO in member-education and get-out-the-vote efforts. Since endorsing Sen. Obama at its national convention in July, the AFT made more than 4 million contacts with its membership, including phone calls, mail, leaflets and-the means of communication proven to be most effective-direct member-to-member contact at home and at the workplace.
"We were in more states, with a greater presence, than ever before. And it worked," Weingarten said. "I saw this firsthand in the 18 states I have visited since becoming AFT president in July."
States with a strong AFT and union presence made a decisive difference in the elections, not only in choosing the next president, but also in giving him a Congress to work with that will champion the concerns of working people and will support public education and other vital public services.
"Barack Obama will be a president for all Americans," Weingarten said. "For Americans from every state in the Union, for those who enjoy great wealth as well as those who suffer terrible want, for Americans of every color, creed and walk of life. This is the time for our country to come together in common purpose to create a better life for all Americans.
"President-elect Obama faces considerable challenges-a severe economic crisis, a broken healthcare system, the needs of an aging population, enormous infrastructure strains and American troops engaged in two wars. But he is well-equipped to lead our country, which is unparalleled in its ability and determination to face such challenges."
The union has launched a new Web site (www.aft.org/tools4teachers/AmericaElects) for educators to use in teaching about the history-making campaign.

If anyone knows how intense and personally bizarre the memorabilia craze can be, it's Blackhawks players. Especially after winning two Stanley Cups in four seasons. Although they may be used to being asked to sign their sweaters and equipment by now, sometimes they are caught off guard by eerie requests.
RedEye caught up with several players (and one team legend) at the Blackhawks Convention this weekend and asked about the weirdest thing they've autographed.
"Maybe a jock. Someone's asked for a jock before. It was awkward; I didn't get around to it."
"A couple odd body parts here and there, that's kind of funny."
Duncan Keith
"I've signed a few things … but I don't know if I'm allowed to speak on camera here [smiles]. But that was probably after the last Stanley Cup. There's some crazy fans out there, but it was fun, you know. It was good times."
"I actually donated the stitches out of my face to a charity. But it's nice, it goes to a good cause. It's not like I'm going to frame them myself or anything."
Jonathan Toews

So I've seen lots of people do the 365 photo project (in which you take one photo per day and post it on a blog or album) and always thought it was a great idea, but also always tended to forget or feel like I wouldn't have enough time.
This past year, my cousin and a friend of his decided to do a joint project--each of them submits one photo per day to their site, but what makes it really cool is that they live in different towns, and he especially does a lot of travelling, so the pictures are from everywhere. (Their site is called South and Wool if you want to see it--I can't post the link because the current first photo has some profanity in it. )
This got me thinking about how cool it would be to do a TORC 365 project, where TORCers from all around the world would submit photos of their lives, hometowns, places they visit, etc.
I certainly don't expect people to post especially personal photos or anything like that -- people are welcome to photograph what they feel comfortable sharing on the internet, and anything from nature shots, for instance, to the interior of your new apartment would be welcome. The idea is basically a 360 photo project in which a big group of us from TORC is involved, which would not only vary the photo type and location, but also spread out the responsibility. What I figure is that even if 7 people are interested, that'd mean one photo per week from each of us, which we could upload to a joint website for everyone to see. If lots of people are interested, we can spread out the work further, or do what my cousin did and post two photos per day. Etc.
So.. anyone interested? Let me know here and we can start planning!

The goal of the 2009 Almaden Institute is to catalyze long-term, concerted efforts to create next-generation rechargeable batteries capable of storing ten times more energy than today's most powerful Lithium-ion batteries. Speakers include Nobel Laureate and energy expert Burton Richter; Marc Tarpenning, co-founder of Tesla Motors; and Deborah Gordon, co-author of 2 Billion Cars.
"High density, scalable energy storage technologies are emerging as the greatest game changer for this new era of renewable energy sources and smarter grids," said Sharon Nunes, vice president, Big Green Innovations, IBM. "Today, the vast majority of the world's oil is burned for transportation. Energy sources, such as wind and solar power, fluctuate continuously. We believe the solution may lie in the development of an efficient, affordable energy storage network."
IBM Research's Almaden Institute brings together eminent, innovative thinkers from academia, government, industry, research labs and the media for an intellectually charged and vigorous dialogue that addresses fundamental challenges at the very edge of science and technology. Previous Almaden Institutes have launched major research projects in cognitive computing, service science and healthcare informatics.
Leveraging expertise in materials science, nanotechnology, green chemistry and supercomputing, scientists at IBM Research's Almaden lab in San Jose, California, are undertaking a multi-year research initiative around a grid-scale, efficient, affordable electrical energy storage network. The team plans to explore rechargeable Lithium/Air systems, which have the greatest energy density of all practical battery systems and are inherently safer than traditional Lithium/ion systems.
IBM intends to partner with industry leaders, academia and others in this collaborative endeavor. The company would license any intellectual property that may result from this research rather than manufacturing battery cells.
IBM Research teams across the world apply advanced materials science, physics, modeling tools, materials science, physics, and integration expertise to address emerging environmental management opportunities. IBM is focused on several areas related to energy and the environment, including energy efficient technology and services, carbon management, advanced water management, intelligent utility networks and intelligent transportation systems.
The company's focus on exploring battery technologies stems from IBM's Big Green Innovations initiative. Announced in November 2006, as part of IBM's investment in 10 new businesses generated by InnovationJam, Big Green Innovations has concentrated its efforts on water management, alternative energy and carbon management.
With decades of leadership in environmental stewardship, proven ability to solve complex challenges and unparalleled global reach, IBM is uniquely positioned to increase the efficiency of today's systems and enable our clients' "green" strategies.

What if… 3 ways gamebooks teach us how to tell terrific stories
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book, Nanowrimo, Plots, Rewriting, Writer basics 101 on November 17, 2012
This week I've been proof-reading one of Dave's gamebook series, which is due to be rereleased next year.
Gamebooks, for the unnerdly, are interactive adventures (sometimes called Choose Your Own). The story is printed in scene sections, out of order, which end with a choice – trust the blind beggar or not, decide whether to look for your enemy in the town or the desert. Although I'm not a gamebook fan (apologies to those who are), I'm finding the process rather interesting.
Choices and consequences
First of all, what happens in each thread depends on the character's personality and previous moral choices. So if they're captaining a pirate ship, in one version they're jolly tars and in the other it's mutiny.
Choices are crucial to good stories. Stuff happens – not because a god dumped events into the plot, but because characters did things, usually under pressure. In a gamebook these choices create a unique path through the adventure. But whatever kind of story you're writing, the chain reaction of choice and consequence is an essential.
Experimenting with scenes
To proof Dave's books, I'm not reading one thread at a time, but front cover to back – which is jumbling the story into random episodes. It also means I encounter each scene in many versions.
This was like an x-ray of my plotting and revision process. I make copies of each scene and write umpteen iterations looking for tighter tension, more resonant changes, more interesting (but honest) ways to keep the reader on their toes. In fact my outtakes are rather like my novel in gamebook form, with all its possibilities – what if she says this, what if the characters had met before in different circumstances, what if y had happened before x?
(In fact Dave said this experimenting was part of the fun – he could play each scene several ways instead of having to settle for a single one as he would in a novel. The pic shows his flowcharts. BTW, the print books are Lulu editions for proofing only. Yes, we know the covers are horrible.)
Exploring possibilities is something that writers are often scared by. Often they want to keep a scene the way they first imagined it. But the more we squeeze a scene to see what it can do, the stronger a novel will be.
Because the gamebook contains many journeys, there are also many ends – deaths that are daft or valiant, failures to complete the quest, heroic rescues, solutions where honour wasn't fully satisfied. Usually only one ending hits the mark. (In gamebooks that's traditionally the last paragraph, by the way.)
Finding the right ending in a novel usually takes a lot of false starts. But you don't get there unless you try all the permutations of success or failure and the shades between.
Get the experimenting mindset
To get in the experimenting mood, grab a gamebook and read it in a way it's not intended to be – from page 1 to the end. You'll see the many ways an encounter can go, the options for a scene of dialogue, the possibilities for your ending. Once you're loosened up, go back to your WIP and play.
(Here's the titles that are currently available in the series I'm proofing for Dave, but gamebook fans can probably point you to other goodies.)

The Act on Facts campaign has launched in Australia and is being considered for a number of countries, including the UK and US. It will primarily be digital and run with assistance from environmental groups and wind developers.
Simon Chapman, professor of public health at the University of Sydney, has been compiling a list of the human and animal health problems that wind farm opponents claim are caused by exposure to turbines. They range from asthma and herpes to bowel cancer and brain tumours. At the last count, there were 216 ailments on the list.
"Old Testament accounts of pestilences and plagues seem mild compared to the effects of wind turbines," Chapman noted drily. He pointed out that the incidences of sickness are far more numerous in communities where anti-wind power lobbyists have been active.
Albaek said Vestas was unable to confirm further plans for the campaign, although it will revolve around social networking and digital communications.
He added: "By our own analysis, 1.7GW of projects in Australia have been delayed by the anti-wind movement. So we are doing this campaign with our customers to protect both their business and ours."
Albaek said a lack of action from the wind industry had led Vestas to take a lead on the campaign.
"On a global level, the wind industry has been way too conservative and defensive, and lacking innovation in communications to drive back against the anti-wind movement," he said.
Asked directly whether the wind trade associations had done enough, Albaek said: "No, I don't believe the associations have done a sufficient job, and neither has the industry overall. Therefore we need to take the gloves off and show the benefits [of wind power]. We have science on our side and the majority of the public opinion."
There is a precedent for Act on Facts. In 2011, UK trade body RenewableUK launched Action4Renewables (A4R) in an effort to provide a rallying point against anti-wind stories appearing in the press. At the time of its launch, former Friends of the Earth executive director Tony Juniper said renewables faced a number of challenges, including the fact that "in the media, a misleading narrative about the effectiveness and efficiency of renewables has been allowed to take root".
"At the local level, opposition groups are fed by misinformation and scaremongering about renewable energy developments," added Juniper.
A4R had a difficult start after the site was deluged by spam. After two years, it is difficult to determine whether the campaign has slowed the anti-wind campaign. The UK press is filled with stories such as the inefficiency of wind power, health issues or wasteful incentives. Currently Action4Renewables only has 3,000 followers on Twitter.
Speaking about the campaign, RenewableUK director of external affairs Jennifer Webber said specific actions had helped drive awareness.
However, she said the organisation had made "a calculated decision not to get into media spats that give them [anti-wind groups] more attention."
Instead, like Act on Facts, Webber said A4R was about giving members more resources to deal with anti-wind groups. She said she believed RenewableUK would be working with Vestas if the Act on Facts campaign came to the UK.
Asked about whether the industry was doing enough, new European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) chief executive Thomas Becker put it simply. He said: "I fully agree with Morten Albaeck's comments that wind energy associations have not done enough." However, by the same token EWEA is not present in any one country, so there is little it can do.
There is no doubting the good intentions of the Vestas campaign and, according to Albaek, there is more to come. It is difficult to see a EUR 120,000 social media push having much impact when a significant proportion of the world's press appears to be following an anti-wind agenda. But, as Albaek said, someone has to do something.

The Porsche 918 Spyder is mind-boggingly fast. So fast, in fact, that it was even faster than anybody thought. Zero to 60 comes in less than three seconds, and somehow it still gets 78 miles per gallon. Our friends over at Autocar have the first video review of the production-spec Spyder, and it looks astonishing.
We've entered a new era of hybrid hypercars, and despite all the whining of a decade ago about hybrids being slow and dull and just awful in every single way, the Porsche 918 Spyder proves all of that wrong. Especially when it makes that noise. Oh, that noise.

Loop handle tote bags have ???????loops??????? added to the bag's panels at the opening. The loops (one for each panel, for a total of two) serve as a comfortable means for carrying the bag when it????????s filled with purchases or other items. The loops may be made from the same type of plastic as the bag itself, or from some other type of material or fabric. (Cotton and polyester are common.)

Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Cedarcreek attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

The main reason for all that is that the making of allis and Axis is a whole different one.
Axis in general are more mirrored to each other. The advantage is that in normal games when players find randomly together, the required teamplay to win is less important. You can handle most situations by your own. That alone could cause a cryout "Axis OP".
The disadvantage is that you very often get doubled capabilities. Since all docs have everything by their own people tend to get more lets say inf and AT guns as actually required. For instance scenarios can and did happen where i saw Bk and terror players together first going for inf and failing against shermans. Later both thought panthers will make it and got countered by a few 17 pdrs.
So what is considered advantage can quickly turn out into a disadvantage.
Same goes for the Factions. PE and WH can start quite mirrior like. AT gun, grens and schwimmwagen or HMG42 etc. That also means that unless you have asked your mates what they will build first you have no idea what comes out first. And then shit can happen like "we got only inf and schwimmwagens".... all four players in extrem. As allied that cant happen between CW and US. Firstly CW cant build vehicles right away. That means a US player knows that a jeep will be a unit that works in conjunction with whatever CW will get out first. US meanwhile knows currently that boys AT will be the unit of choice first which in return means that AT gun is not mandatory to be build quick. This alone makes allied early currently being in a good harmony.
That could be different if the starting units of PE and WH would be whole different. Not just "can be different" but "forced to be different" in whatever way.
Now coming to the shocking tools.
Sukin-kot (SVT) wrote:Inf doc: For 6 points you can get amazing set of shock instruments, each of them alone can collapse axis front if used in the right hands, of course I mean CQB+Arty strike+HE Jumbo combo.
AB doc: I think everyone knows that it used to be my favotite doc, mainly because of the extremely fast and flexible gameplay, you get huge benefits right away by unlocking 101s and building AB HQ, which have an ability to drop smoke anywhere on the map, combined with flame nades you easily can get rid of annoying mg42 or pak 38 here or there, so you just get 4 AB squads as soon as possible, as support you buy Quad cal. and 57mm truck, usually I was able to deploy this army in 9-10 minutes, this set of units allows you counter pretty much everything axis can throw on you.
RE doc: As hawks already said, they have a surprise on every game stage, this doc is the best for "early gg" 95mm Churchill + HE Churchill supported by AB swarm hardly can be stopped.
Raf: Glyders are available right away, cluster bombs are the most deadly early ability, quick access to M10 Achiles which is the most cost-effective vehicle in game, along with HE sherman in Armor doc.
This is one example of how shocking throughout tier ups till end game works.
There are a few possible scenarios ive seen or that ive been used to play with clans back in 2012-2014. Even at this time, when used allied units were way worse than now, allied seemed OP in quite a few ways.
Back then we combined arty inf and armor or instead of arty RE. The combination was as followed to win in about 15 mins or less (even to end).
Advance got initiated by inf doc using off map or cqc (whatever suited most). That combined or followed by RE glider drop. Cruicial area was taken, vehicles screened (AT was down due to glider or off map) and countered counter attacks. Then churchill came (back then armor was worse but MK IV was the one with HE and required no cps), map controle achieved. Then 17 pdr pit was build already. Finally shermans came in and finished the job while inf got howitzers or whatever.
There are also combos like when doing 4 vs 4. Jeep, Boys-AT, sniper, rifles. Then recce comes, 75 mm arty HT and inf offmap to prevent axis to build any new defense. 17 pdrs come among with churchill tanks, HE shermans join and M10´s and M16 will stay guard. Possibly there can be also an air doc instead of lets say armor which gives early access to airstrikes and glider and whatever.
Playing allis like this is fun. And hard to counter. But the requirments towards players is also considerable. They all have to know when which allied doc can get access to what to deal with what unit axis can get at this time. And this is done by 100% experience only. They also have to see the greater total in order not to waste one of the shock tools on something that could be very easily dealed with.
A (bad) example maybe:
Inf doc player sees HMG, mortar and heavy PE heavy assault grens on a bunch near a forward location. Nearby a Pak 43 88 mm (the big gun). For him the HMG with inf seems to be the perfect target. He has no tanks and only inf. Near AT gun is 20 mm vehicle. He has a 57 mm AT gun and zooks. Alone he will most likely shoot the HMG as those with mortar and other inf killers seem to be most dangerous. The right pick would have been the AT gun bc his mate has two cheap HE shermans ready for attack that could deal quickly all inf, mortar and vehicles.
I hope you get the point. You dont necessary kill what is your personal threat but what you can kill the best while your largest threads will be solved by a mate. Long tom on Hidden Jagdpanzer IV/70 or Panther that isnt aware. If your mate has a pershing or SP you kill the IV/70 with it.
This is they way of thinking allied players must have to play the "OP card".
Axis mostly trust in rough power.
That argument "allis have cheap counter" applies also to axis. Volks vs rangers (likely def doc and ranged combat), Gebirgs to any inf spam, 20 mm vehicles against infantry rushes or ostwind. Tank IV vs shermans or Hetzer, 50 mm against any armor but the heaviest. Jagdpanzer IV/70 vs Pershings, Nashorn or Jagpanther vs Jumbos and SP and so on.
I think the only way to really solve this would be entirley new approaches in faction and doctrine designs. PE would be significantly different in the faction design and right from the start compared to WH. That way whole new (effective) unit compositions would show up.
The WH docs would need to have some clear directions what they are actually doing in a team.
Could also be the other way arround as sukin would suggest. Allied docs more versatile and less teamplay dependent. That doubling capabilties would also cripple allied.
Hope that makes it a bit more understandable what the current "OP" debatte is actually about.

Mission Statement:
To get you the links to places you need to know about and information that no one else will tell you.
This web site is not about one man, but to tell a story it is easier to tell it from your own perspective, and that is what I am doing here, telling my story. I do not care if you believe any of it at all, history was written by those with money and power and wars were fought by those that did not. I find Articles and Videos to help tell that story, I do not know much about Copy Rights, so I try my best to link back to the original and give credit to those people, so if I step on your tows, please email me and give me the full details so I can update any material here.
The VA has determined that 250,000 troops are now permanently disabled, 15,000 are dead, and over 425,000 are ill and slowly dying from what the Department of Defense still calls a "mystery disease". How many more will have to die before action is taken?
We learned two lessons from 911:
United We Stand.
United's We Fall.
What can I do here:
I highly suggest you watch
Beyond Treason
, for the last word on Gulf War Syndrome, an eye opening documentary.
I also suggest that you avail yourself of my

Who I AM:
Hi, my name is Jeff Flesher, and I've seen War up close, with all its ugliness, and cold brutality, most of which I'd just as soon not ever think about or be reminded of again - but that's a luxury I'll never have, because once you've seen it up close, and taken part in it, your forever changed by it, consequently, forgetting is no longer an option.
I'm also a Disabled Gulf War Vet, and have dedicated the rest of my life too learning as much as I can about Gulf War Syndrome, or Gulf War Illness, and less about being Politically Correct.
I'm currently seeking a cure for Gulf War Syndrome, absent that, at least a way to live with it, and have personally had it for around 18 years now, since Nov 1990 - to be more accurate. My primary goal is to educate Gulf War Syndrome Survivors about what other choices may be available to them concerning what to do about it - so feel free to
me, Jeff Flesher, if you require further assistance, about the content at my site.
I have GWS, TMJ (TMJD), ADJD, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and brain damage; I was exposed to Depleted Uranium (DU), Lead and Mercury in the water supply as a result of my Military duties and consider myself one of the unlucky ones who lived through it, and now everyday is just an ordeal to get through the pain. .. the pain of it all.
My Military Background:
I've been to Iraq, Kuwait and Korea; flown around the world in both directions. I started out as an (E)F111 Computer Specialist working on the Attack Radar and Terrain Following Computers, during the first part of Gulf War I, then as a Helicopter Crew chief on a H-53 Jolly Green Giant in Special Ops, Black Knights Squadron; (
I was a Black Knight, or a Special Knight in Black Ops
); and also on H-60 Pave Hawks (Black
or Pave
Hawks) in Combat Air Rescue.

(all vets and everyone are welcome here; please don't be offended; I have a blog on this issue; after reading it I'm sure you will agree; we are all people of this planet and time heals all wounds; "In Space: All Warriors are Cold Warriors":)
, served in any War; be it the Desert Storm, Gulf War I or II, Vietnam, Korea, WW1 or WW2; if you have Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) AKA Gulf War Illness, or have been exposed to BZ, Anthrax, BT, or Agent Orange; or your just interested. come one, come all, all are welcome here.

No Big Secret
Even though I spend a lot of time at a computer in the course of a day's work, I also spend my fair share of time at home surfing the web, looking for column ideas and such. In the past week, a link posed on Facebook led me to the MainStreet.com website, and an article entitled "10 Surprising Places to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day."
No. Couldn't be could it?
Yep, sure was. Right there, leading the list was Emmetsburg.
"Emmetsburg Iowa: When a small town nearly doubles its population for a festival, you know it has to be good. Approximately 7,000 people flood into the Iowa sister city of Dublin, Ireland, for this festival, which includes a pageant, talent show, fish fry, a half-relay, chainsaw art and of course, Irish Stew. It runs March 10-17."
Now, you've got to admit, that capsule is pretty much right on target. Over 21 years that I've been here at "The Reporter" and "The Democrat" I've seen both sides of Broadway filled with people during the years when the predominant color was dark blue due to the cold and the snow was almost knee deep, and I've seen the years when the skies were bright blue, the sun shone brightly and the bank thermometer reported a pleasant 78 degrees as people watched the parade in their finest summer attire, all around March 17.
Over those years, there have been countless memories of events, people, parade entries and all of the aspect that go into St. Patrick's Day. Everyone has something that comes to mind when March rolls around and thoughts go to the day when everyone is Irish.
I can remember lots of parade entries The Brian Boru Pipe Band and the skirl of the pipes as they march up Broadway. Young and old alike are captivated by the sound of the pipes and the drums, and will follow the group as they make their way through the downtown when the parade is over, just to be immersed in the magic of the music.
The many visiting Irish dignitaries who have visited the community over the years have kept the ties to the Auld sod alive and well. Many of our local citizens have journeyed back to the Emerald Isle and met some of those former visitors to St. Pat's and all have wonderful memories of their time in Emmetsburg.
And who can forget some of the out-of-the-ordinary sights of St. Pat's? How about the parade entries a few years back of a purebred Irish Wolfhound, who, when prompted by his human, rose on his hind legs to place his front paws on the shoulders of his human and still stood taller? Of course, there have been several green creatures dogs, a couple of cats, a horse, and a few people who didn't quite match the description of leprechauns.
But those are just a few memories.
There are memories of family paying tribute to the clans who trace their lineage back to Ireland and the original founding of Emmetsburg and Palo Alto County. The celebration remains as a yearly reunion of sorts for families like the McNally's, the Nolans, the Brennans, the McCains, and so many more. While some generations have passed, the younger generations continue to return to their "Auld Sod" to keep those traditions of family alive.
Sure, there are lots of other activities during St. Pats just like the article says. This will be the 51st year for the Miss Shamrock Pageant, and the O' Round the Loch Run is back for another year. The Irish Stew luncheon is as much a part of the Saturday schedule as the St. Pat's Parade itself.
But truly, the best part of St. Patrick's Day in Emmetsburg is the chance for everyone to be Irish and what could be finer than that?

With support for the current Irish government falling, an upcoming referendum on acceptance of the latest European Union fiscal treaty could be at risk as support for the opposition rises.
Reuters reported that a poll conducted Friday on support for the government indicated that the Irish are growing even more disenchanted with those in office. Satisfaction with the government, according to the poll, an Irish Times poll conducted by IPOS/MRBI, has fallen by 14 percentage points to 23% since the last poll in October.
On the other hand, support for Sinn Fein, the former political arm of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) that is campaigning for a vote against the treaty in the referendum, has risen to 21%. That is the highest it has ranked in an Irish Times poll. Perhaps even more worrisome, however, are the results of a Thursday poll that indicated 40% of voters are still undecided on how they will cast ballots on the treaty.
While Irish citizens, unlike those in most other European countries, can vote on any major transfer of powers to Brussels, as the recipients of a bailout, they could put the country into a bind if they vote down the treaty and its fiscal rules. However, they have done it before—twice in fact, rejecting the last two treaties until they won concessions.
Despite the fact that he has pushed through tough fiscal measures, Prime Minister Enda Kenny is still the most popular political leader in the country. He has, however, lost 10 points in the polls, now sporting an approval rating of 42%. His party, Fine Gael, has lost less ground but was less popular to begin with; it is down 3 points to 33%.
If the Labour party loses more ground to Sinn Fein, as it has recently, it could also make it more difficult for unpopular tighter austerity measures to be passed.

Fighting COVID relies on us all. Please give what you can to meet the surging needs for our elderly, homeless and families during this health crisis.
Providing Affordable Housing
For the people we support, a home is far more than shelter.
As one of the nation's largest nonprofit providers of quality, affordable housing, we also provide the vital support services needed to thrive.
We create and manage low and moderate-income level housing for the homeless, families with children, the elderly, veterans and their families, and people with disabilities, including physical and mental disabilities.
"I came to visit some friends here and immediately liked it so much, I knew this is where I wanted to be. I liked it because everyone was so friendly and it felt more like a home."Jeannette, a resident of one of our affordable homes for seniors in New England
About Our Affordable Housing
Volunteers of America has understood the power of housing as a foundation for life since its beginnings in 1896. And since those early days, Volunteers of America has grown into one of the largest and most effective nonprofit housing organizations in the nation. In its 2018 ranking, Affordable Housing Finance Magazine ranked Volunteers of America #4 among nonprofit developers of affordable housing and #29 among the top 50 largest developers (for-profit and non-profit combined) of affordable housing.
Our network of affordable housing facilities now includes 484 properties in 40 states and Puerto Rico and our nationwide portfolio has grown to 19,426 affordable housing units and includes large urban complexes, small rural developments, elderly housing, multifamily housing and housing for those with disabilities. We house more than 25,000 people each year.
Additionally, we are also a national leader in providing care and housing for seniors. In the United States today, we are one of the largest nonprofit providers of affordable senior housing and we are a leading nonprofit provider of skilled nursing care and assisted living for seniors. With a comprehensive continuum of housing services, we respond to the varied needs of individuals and families—from sheltering those without homes to assisting first-time home-buyers.
Providing a safe, stable place for seniors, families and those with special needs to live allows us to also offer the services we are known for in settings where our clients and residents feel safe and cared for. Our success continues to help those like Jeannette and others find a safe place to call home.
We are also a proud member of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, a national nonprofit group dedicated to helping make our communities more environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable through community planning and development.
Our Types of Housing
Senior Housing
For seniors, maintaining independence is very important. At Volunteers of America, we provide housing for seniors who want to live independent lifestyles where they can thrive and age in place. Our senior residents deserve the quality of life that they desire and our commitment to service-enriched housing offers them just that.
Veterans Housing
Every veteran deserves a place to call home. At Volunteers of America, we offer a flexible continuum of housing and supportive services to individual veterans and veterans with families. Our properties consist of studio apartments, one, two and three bedroom apartments as well as four bedroom town homes.
Family Housing
Our properties provide low-income working families a place to call home. In addition to larger units with two, three and four bedrooms, we provide special facilities and services that help to address the needs of both children and their parents. By providing families with the space they need and services that help parents and their children thrive, we help families build communities.
Persons with Disabilities
It is our philosophy that housing for persons with disabilities should reflect the needs and wants of the persons who reside in the homes. The apartments should be capable, from both design and operational perspectives, of accommodating the changing needs of residents. We provide activities, health and medical care, transportation, and individual case management to encourage independence.
