In case you missed earlier Earth Day Challenge posts, you can see them here - Suncatcher Vase, Cell Phone Holder for Charging, DIY Mesh Pot Scrubber, and Bird Cabin aka Bird House!
Today, for the Earth Day Celebration Challenge, I plunged into the refuse pile and brought up a Swiffer Duster Box. I was surprised to find that these boxes have a plastic coating inside that make them much nicer than ordinary boxes. I tried to think of something that would benefit from this feature but fell short. I think it would definitely be moisture resistant but probably not waterproof. The bottom line is they are much nicer to use than most empty boxes!
|Front of box is cut now measuring and marking the sides
My first step was to cut the front of my box to the height I wanted. Then measure the angle up on each side and mark it so each side would be the same. Once I had the sides measured and marked I cut them out too using a box cutter. Finally I made the cut across the back so now my box was cut in two pieces.
|insert top section to create divider
The smaller top part that I removed was then cut in half to create the center section. I turned it upside down and inserted inside the larger box. I taped it into place along the bottom and sides. Now I had a sectioned desktop organizer!
The only thing left to do was decorating it! You can paint, paper or use fabric. I decided to cover mine in scrapbook paper using Mod Podge. I liked the black and white papers so I used herringbone and stars to cover my box. I had some extra Yo-Yo rosettes from a previous project so I added them to give it a finishing touch and again my trash has turned into a beneficial long-term desk organizer...that's really cute too!

How to play MIDI files: needed a MIDI mapper?
I need to set up some MIDI tools in Linux because I'm an amateur music composer :D and would like to do my music under Linux and not under Windows.
I installed timidity but I am unable to play MIDI files in Linux.
By the way, I can get my sound output through this module
I've not configured ALSA. I have an on-board NVidia chipset sound with my A7N8X-E motherboard. Is there any way to choose a MIDI mapper in Linux because I don't have hardware MIDI?
Bump. Any ideas folks.
I really need to download a MIDI mapper file. Anybody has any ideas where I could get one?
ALSA MIDI mapper
FWIW I haven't tried this.
I am not using ALSA because ALSA will not recognize my onboard sound card. Instead I'm using the module i810_audio with OSS.

Welcome to Around the Horns, our daily look at what's happening on the Vikings beat:
Adrian Peterson said he wanted to run for 2,500 yards in 2013, and the reigning NFL MVP's goal immediately turned into sports talk radio fodder. People wanted to know, in almost every Peterson interview after that, whether the running back was serious or delusional, whether his prediction was an achievable goal or a baseless boast.
Peterson said several times in training camp that the goal had a deeper meaning -- that it was fuel to motivate him to top his 2,097-yard season in 2012. And in an interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Dan Wiederer, Peterson shed some additional light on his thinking.
"Listen," Peterson said. "If I don't hear that number mentioned to me again, I'll be all good. … People hear that 2,500 and it's 'Oh wow. That's not possible. What was he thinking?' They kind of focus on [the number] too much. In my mind, I'm not looking at it like that at all."
Here are today's other Vikings stories of note:
We looked at the Vikings' most significant cuts as they finalized their 53-man roster, and revisited how the actual roster compared to the prediction we'd made the night before.
Greg Jennings and Cordarrelle Patterson are in Minnesota to try and balance out an offense that finished 31st in the league in passing last season, writes Mark Craig of the Star Tribune.
The biggest difference between the Vikings and the Green Bay Packers -- the team they are chasing in the division -- comes down to the quarterback position, Jim Souhan of the Star Tribune says.
Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press profiles Chris Donley, a lifelong Vikings fan who is dying from cancer and who watched the team's practice last Tuesday as a guest of Vikings Hall of Famer Randall McDaniel.
The Vikings' cuts on Saturday took a bite out of their 2011 draft class, which hasn't panned out the way the team hoped, writes Judd Zulgad of 1500ESPN.com.

On an integral equation for the free boundary of stochastic, irreversible investment problems
In this paper we derive a new handy integral equation for the free boundary of infinite time horizon, continuous time, stochastic, irreversible investment problems with uncertainty modeled as a one-dimensional, regular diffusion X0;x. The new integral equation allows to explicitly find the free boundary b(.) in some so far unsolved cases, as when X0;x is a three-dimensional Bessel process or a CEV process. Our result follows from purely probabilistic arguments. Indeed, we first show that b(X0;x(t)) = l*(t), with l*(t) unique optional solution of a representation problem in the spirit of Bank-El Karoui [4]; then, thanks to such identification and the fact that l* uniquely solves a backward stochastic equation, we find the integral problem for the free boundary.

The newest weapon in the state's annual war on icy highways is a system of pipes, pumps and tanks at a highway garage near the Sagamore Bridge.
The newest weapon in the state's annual war on icy highways is a system of pipes, pumps and tanks at a highway garage near the Sagamore Bridge.
The new salt brine production plant, located just off Route 3 in Sagamore Beach, gives MassDOT crews the ability to blend their own anti-icing liquid for use on state highway in Southeastern Massachusetts.
Once winter weather hits, large tanker trucks will distribute the brine to highway garages throughout the region. Tanker trucks will then join the fleet of snow removal equipment hitting the road to clear state highways.
Paul Brown, director of snow and ice operations for the state, unveiled the new production equipment last week, with MassDOT Secretary Richard Davey.
Based on past winter weather conditions, the state expects the $250,000 production plant to begin paying for itself in two to three years.
The anti-icing solution is made from a mixture of 85 percent salt brine and 15 percent magnesium chloride.
In past years, the state has used magnesium chloride alone to treat roads before snowstorms, but the solution is costly. The state currently pays 89 cents per gallon for the solution.
Last winter, the state experimented with the brine solution blend in Western Massachusetts, applying treatments to bridges and frost-prone areas at a cost of 55 cents a gallon.
By blending its own mixture, MassDOT has been able to reduce the cost to about 7 cents a gallon.
The facility in Sagamore Beach includes three 10,000-gallon storage tanks for blended solution and individual 10,000-gallon tanks of brine solution and the magnesium chloride for mixing.
In addition to saving money by reducing the cost of supplies, the state will be able to cut back on overtime costs because the blended solution can be applied to roads up to 48 hours in advance of storms.
Highway crews can apply the solution during normal work shifts rather than just before a storm hits.
The solution will not be used in advance of all storms.
It works best in temperatures ranging from 15- to 32-degree Fahrenheit and in storms that are not preceded by significant amounts of rain.
But when the weather conditions are right, the solution can have a significant impact on keeping snow from sticking on the roads and in enabling snowplows to remove it.
Motorists will notice large tanker trucks traveling up and down state highways, applying the solution in advance of these storms. The tankers use about 40 gallons of the mixture to treat a mile of roadway. Each 4,000-gallon tanker can treat about 100 miles of highway.
Motorists will notice parallel lines of the dried solution on roads before storms hit.
The state also hopes to enlist contractors with equipment capable of spreading the solution.
MassDOT plans to distribute the solution to 10 highway garages through Southeastern Massachusetts.
Highway District 5 includes all of Cape Cod and stretches north to Hull and west to Attleboro, Mansfield and Norwood. The district includes Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, but the solution will not immediately be ferried to roads on the islands.
Brown said the state does plan to use it on I-95, I-495, and Routes 3, 6, 24 and 44.
Smaller state highways like Route 3A could be treated with the solution this winter as well, but the limited access highways will receive priority attention.
Massachusetts is the last state in New England to begin producing the blended solution.

If you are going to run a business online it is critical to get traffic to your website. Without traffic you will find it very difficult to make any good money from your site. No visitors obviously means no customers.
Information Overload
Even if you have the best site around but have no traffic, then it will be very hard to make it work. When finding ideas to get traffic to your website you may experience information overload. There are thousands of ideas across the internet. Some ideas are poor and some ideas are average. Some ideas take a lot of work and others are easy but less effective.
Least Amount of Effort
Really, you want the ideas that take the least amount of effort. So how do you find out which ideas are the easiest? This is through using a website tracking service. A website tracking service will allow you to monitor your visitors and pinpoint exactly where they are coming from.
You will be able to discover where they are coming from and then replicate your efforts to the same traffic generation technique you used to create the interest.
Really – a successful online business is about;
So How Do You Get Traffic To Your Website?
1. Be careful using traffic generator websites or those websites where you pay to get traffic. The majority of these are not effective. Most of the time you won't get any and your money will be wasted.
2. Not all traffic is the same. Just like any other customer, you need to target the people that are more likely to buy your product. No point in trying to sell to people who are just not interested. You need relevant targeted traffic.
Put it this way, if you are a person looking to buy a car and you end up at a website selling trucks, are you likely to buy a truck?
The chance of you buying a truck is highly unlikely. Therefore your traffic is irrelevant and you have wasted your time getting that person to your website who simply is not interested in your product.
3. So how do you get relevant targeted traffic?
An easy way is to join forums specifically in your niche. You can join the community and provide comments and feedback to topics on the forum.
If there is a signature allowed in your signature field then you can link through to one of your websites that are in the same niche.
You need to be genuine about this – register and provide feedback to others about topics on the forum. Include your web address details in your signature.
If you show credibility and become a regular part of the forum – people are likely to visit your website and then are more likely to buy your products.

The previous post on one of Stella's Polish Villages may give the impression that all works in the series are as carefully irregular. Actually, most of them seem to be perfectly reasonable. I'm not aware of how Stella sees the situation or whether he cares if line segments are parallel or continuous. In any case, there's no law that says they have to be. He said that he gave a lot of attention to precise placement of the shapes—in that case I admire him for tweaking many of the details out of alignment. These observations are connected with my earlier thoughts about Kandinsky, and they are an aspect of my own changing feelings about abstraction. Learning doesn't stop, and learning to be free is always worthwhile. Or better—learning to let art go free of our very natural drive to organize. That would be the advantage of geometry for abstraction—that it lets us be clearly inconsistent.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Though he knows his public support continues to wane, embattled head coach Dan Reeves insists he can turn the Atlanta Falcons' 1-5 season around.
Reeves pinned his hopes Wednesday on Kurt Kittner, who will replace Doug Johnson as the starting quarterback when the Falcons try to stop a five-game losing streak Sunday.
"I do think Kurt deserves the right to see what he can do," Reeves said. "We need a spark, you know, and he may be able to provide that. We've got to eliminate the mistakes, or minimize them -- and try to play error-free football. Our room for error right now is not very good. We can't afford to have the interceptions and those kinds of things."
Reeves told Kittner of his decision before a team meeting in the early afternoon.
"I think in the past couple of weeks I've been doing well in practice, both in our team periods in the few reps that I got and with scout team," Kittner said. "We're all striving for the same thing. We're all trying to put the bad stuff behind us and come out on the right side."
Johnson, a fourth-year backup, has been unable to stop the offense's slide into oblivion since superstar quarterback Michael Vick broke a bone in his lower right leg Aug. 16. Johnson leads the NFL with 10 interceptions, including a back-breaking pick on the second series of a 36-0 loss Monday at St. Louis.
"It's not my decision," Johnson said. "I got one (victory), but it doesn't really matter how I think I played. I'm throwing it fine. That's not even an issue. It doesn't matter how well you throw the ball or your stats -- if you don't win, the easiest person to make a change with is the quarterback."
Kittner did not play as a rookie last year after the Falcons drafted him in the fifth round from Illinois. In two brief appearances this season, Kittner has completed seven of 17 passes for 53 yards and two interceptions.
He has a grisly quarterback rating of 9.8. Though the perfect NFL rating is 158.3, Kittner hasn't had much chance to succeed. His appearances occurred at the end of blowout losses to Tampa Bay and St. Louis, but Reeves has to try something given Johnson's inability to rally Atlanta from a deficit for five straight weeks.
"The biggest disappointment to me is that we haven't reacted well to adversity, and we've had a lot of it," Reeves said. "We've got to get results, and right now we aren't playing as well as we're capable of playing. If we play as well as we can, does that mean we'll win? I don't know."
It seems everything the Falcons try these days misfires. The front office had sold every season and single-game ticket by midsummer, but fans only left disappointed by a home team that allowed 104 points and 1,150 yards and threw eight interceptions in three blowout losses.
When the New Orleans Saints visit the Georgia Dome Sunday, the Falcons will rank last in total defense and 28th in total offense. A humiliating 36-0 blowout at St. Louis, played before a national television audience Monday night, only exacerbated the situation.
"It's just a disappointment with all the people that you feel like you've let down and all the people that are hurting because you are hurting," Reeves said. "So there's anxiety from losing, but worried about my job, no. All I can do is the best I can each week and I approach it that way and I ask the players to approach it the same way -- one play at a time and one day at a time and trying to get better. And I do the same thing."
Atlanta (1-5) is in such disarray that the Saints (2-4) might be able to rest their starters through most of the second half. The offensive line has managed to give up three safeties in two games and four in the last five. T.J. Duckett, Warrick Dunn, Justin Griffith and Woodrow Dantzler have combined to average a measly 2.8 yards on 27 second-half carries since the season opener.
For Reeves, who directed an eight-game unbeaten streak in last year's surprising run to the playoffs, solutions are hard, if not impossible, to find. Arthur Blank offered his support for Reeves last Friday, but the team owner might feel compelled to make some kind of a change in leadership if the Falcons lose to New Orleans.
A Saints victory would give Atlanta its first six-game losing streak since the abysmal 4-12 season. Reeves, the only coach to lead the beleaguered franchise to a Super Bowl, is enduring a losing record for the seventh time in nine years.
"I've been in these situations before, and all you can do is try and dig your way out of it," he said. "It doesn't go away. You don't sweep it under a rug and forget about it."
Vick, whose earliest return would be the Nov. 2 home game with Philadelphia, hopes Kittner can give the Falcons a spark.
"Our main priority is to go out and get win No. 2," Vick said. "You know, that's about all we can do right now. We're out there playing our hearts out. We're doing the best we can. It'll turn around for us sooner or later."

I'm definitely more friendly with soups these days. I ditched my cold salads and waved them "good bye", stocked my pantry with warming spices, favourite pulses and veg!Lots of veg! I know how most people feel about Autumn but I quite like it(except for those really windy and rainy days-go away!). Autumn is full of awesome flavours and it's got the best vegetable in a year, so I'm going to make the most of them.
I'm a fanatical carrot eater.Do you know anyone craving raw carrots dipped in cashew nut butter at 11 p.m.? Well, you know now 🙂 It is very likely that in my previous life I was a rabbit!I could've also been a squirrel considering the amount of nuts I scoff! But surprisingly I've never made or even sample carrot soup.Of course it was until recently….I was looking for some inspiration on my pinterest page and it turned out everyone was making carrot soup so I thought I must give it a try! This soup was created basing on this fantastic recipe 🙂 Just added some tomatoes and nstural yoghurt from myself and decided not to roast chickpeas(I had a lazy day!). I have also used parsley leaves instead of sage and there is no almonds in my version. The colour of this soup will make you smile!It's just insanely orange!Definitely the most beautiful soup I've ever seen 🙂
MAKES 6 portions
150g/1 cup chickpeas, cooked
2 tablespoons of butter
3 garlic cloves, crushed
handful of fresh parsley leaves, chopped
salt and pepper, freshly grounded
natural yoghurt-spoonful for each bowl
1.Heat oven to 190C/375F
2.Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a small pan.Peel carrots if necessary, cut them lengthwise in quarters.Place them on a baking tray with tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Bake for around 30 minutes.
3. In a meantime, cook the onion with 3 tablespoons of butter until soft and transculent.
4.Transfer roasted carrots, tomatoes(with no skin) and cooked onions to the blender and pour over water or broth.You can also blend it all in a pan using a hand blender.Blend it until smooth.
5.Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan,add garlic, parsley leaves and chickpeas. Season with a little salt and pepper.Fry lightly for couple of minutes and put aside.
6.Divide soup evenly among bowls,add spoonful of yoghurt in each bowl and garnish with chickpeas and fresh parsley leaves.

(KYTX) - Know how to play croquet?
Well a bunch of Tyler community members learned how to, and for a good cause today.
The Christian Women's Job Corp's first ever Bouquets of Croquet event was held today.
Around a dozen teams brushed up on croquet skills and then battled it out in a friendly competition.
Miss Texas helped host the event, and CBS 19's Justin Earley played on one of the teams.
All proceeds from Bouquets of Croquet go to the Christian Women's Job Corp, which teaches job skills to women in need.
"Many women are at a place in their life where they don't feel like they have a place to turn. They feel deserted or they've been in crisis, and providing them with job skills allows them to get out of those situations and improve their lives and the lives of their children," says Kathy Gohmert, director of the Christian Women's Job Corp.
The winners of today's tournament were Reisa Redwine and Nancy Crawford. CBS 19's Justin Earley came in second place, with his teammate David Kraffe.

Former world number one Luke Donald and five-time major winner Phil Mickelson both struggled in the first round of the Humana Challenge in La Quinta, California.
Englishman Donald found himself 12 shots off the lead in the PGA Tour event following a three-over-par 75 that put him in a share of 145th place, while Mickelson was four shots better off but still no better than tied for 89th.
Mickelson reached the turn in three under but his scoring fell away over the back nine as he signed for a one-under 71, while Donald began on the 10th tee and followed a double bogey at the par-four 18th with further dropped shots at the first and fifth before making an overdue birdie at the eighth.
At a tournament that features three courses, Mickelson was playing at the La Quinta Country Club, with Donald off his best game on the PGA West Nicklaus. The other course is PGA West Palmer.
All players will play a round on each during the first three days. The cut will then be made after 54 holes with the top 70 and ties playing the final round on the Palmer course.
Mickelson said of his round: "I got off to a pretty good start, and then I just stalled. I'm excited about the year, excited about playing, and even though this is the worst score I've had in a long time, I'm excited about getting back out tomorrow. I can't wait to get started again because I feel like I played a little tight today, kind of steered it a little bit."
The 44-year-old American added on the PGA Tour website: "Hopefully the way I'm playing will show in the score, but today it just didn't."
The lead after Thursday's play belonged to Michael Putnam, with the 31-year-old American shooting a nine-under 63 on the Nicklaus course.
Putnam said: "The focus for me is on the Palmer tomorrow and then La Quinta on Saturday. There's a lot of birdies going to be made in 54 holes by a lot of guys. So I have to make a lot of birdies."
Putnam was being closely pursued, with five players on eight under. Italian Francesco Molinari, who had eight birdies in a flawless round on the Palmer course, was joined on that mark by four Americans: Mark Wilson, Blake Adams, John Peterson and Scott Pinckney.

Consumers are giving more importance to In-vehicle technology which is an important factor when purchasing a new vehicle
. According to research released by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). 42 percent of consumers surveyed say they intend to purchase an in-vehicle technology device or accessory - including car alarms, remote vehicle starters, in-dash car stereos and in-dash navigation systems - in the next 12 months.
However, only 54 percent of online Americans of driving age indicate they are satisfied with the technologies in their primary vehicles.
47 percent of consumers surveyed are interested in using apps designed for easier and safer use in-vehicle.
This result is consistent with another study from IDC Manufacturing Insight (read here) which shows that almost 50% of U.S. consumers consider it vital to have access to a phone in the vehicle, with about 40% considering it vital to access apps such as navigation and music while in the vehicle.

Social bookmarking site in Denmark
Written by Claus Heinrich at. 31:05:08, 23:26
With a little rush I have created a social bookmarking site SocBo.dk for Danes - a clone of the famous del.icio.us many of us know and use.
Riisager beat me to it with his release of nep.dk 1 day before me, but I am sure we both appreciate the competition and together can help broaden the awareness of social bookmarking sites in Denmark.
It is all about exploring new territories and this is something I love about the internet. New untouched possibilities arise all the time and free for us all to grab out and get.
My first social community site aNyhed.dk - General News, is still going good with 228 registered members at this time. I have been pondering for some time now with some ideas to launch a bookmarking website and a video sharing website.
I started the development on the Video site and have been on it some weeks now, but with the release of Riisagers social bookmarking site yesterday, I changed my priority and launched SocBo.dk quite quickly today.
Next couple of days will be used to close bugs and improve the site where I see fit.
I have a thought about making a plugin button for both FF and IE so users easy can add new sites.
After these adjustments, I will continue on the Video Sharing site. More info on this site will come later. Also see my latest page about Broadband in Denmark.
Update: Due to heavy spam on the Scuttle script, I have made a post about how to Protect a Scuttle site from Spam.

Thanks, Kipples, for being a super sonic blaster beta reader! I give you an arc reactor to power your enclave. It comes attached to you know who. :D If you like, you can borrow my winged boots.
When does this take place? Don't know and it probably doesn't matter.
The Great Paper Chase
Diana blinked at the computer screen she had been staring at for the past two hours, rubbing her eyes and stretching to alleviate the slight ache she felt in her ribs and back. Just that day she had completed a very complicated mission.
Diana had written an elaborate and detailed mission briefing, but that had only taken fifteen minutes. The majority of her time had been wasted (or so she thought) on filling out paperwork. First there was the accident report, and since she had been hurt, there was an injury report and insurance claim to file. Not to mention, the forthcoming lawsuits from the hostile government whose buildings had been damaged. True, she had been angry, but her defensive and offensive actions had been warranted by the amount of fire power that had been used against her. These particular bad guys had very evil intentions, and they had been "secretly" backed and protected by the corrupt dictatorship that controlled the country.
Diana collapsed her head against the back of her chair, temporarily giving up. Thinking she was alone, she let out a loud, "Argh." Inhaling deeply, Diana muttered under her breath. "Hera help me, but if I have to fill out another form I will destroy this computer."
"Careful, Princess. Damage to Watchtower property will result in filling out another five forms." The humor in the low tenor was unmistakable, but Diana was not in the mood. Especially since Bruce had been rebuffing her advances for the past months. Trying to get him to take her on a date was almost as tedious as wading through the never-ending red tape.
That wasn't the only reason for her current irritation. Lest she forget, Batman was the one responsible for all the forms in the first place. Since he funded a majority of the Justice League's operations, he required documentation of everything. His justification: Bruce Wayne needed as much protection as possible from lawsuit hungry people out to make a buck on his supposed sanction of the Justice League's actions. It made sense, but at the moment, Diana was past the point of caring.
Wonder Woman turned around and made a face at him. "Go away." Then she turned her attention back to getting the last of her forms filled out, studiously ignoring the dark presence behind her.
It was much more difficult to do than she had expected. He stood directly behind her and rested his hands on the sides of the back of the chair. Not quite touching her, he was close enough that if she moved a centimeter, there would be contact. Unable to help herself, she shifted in her seat. To her surprise and delight, he didn't back away.
He leaned down, his mouth close enough to her face that shivers went down her spine. Pride and sheer strength of will prevented her from turning her head to the side to meet his mouth with hers, but only just. He inched closer, and just as she was about to close her eyes, his voice firmly said, "You're filling it out wrong."
Her hand, which rested on the mouse, nearly spasmed. The only thing that kept her from ripping it out of the computer and wrapping the cord around Bruce's neck was the gauntleted hand that suddenly came to rest over hers. He squeezed her hand, but she realized that it was an accidental motion caused by him right-clicking back to the previous forms.
Bruce paused when he got to the injury report and looked her over. Diana had broken a rib and sprained her left wrist during the operation, but since that was hours ago, she was nearly back to complete health. His lips were formed in a tight line of disapproval and concern, but he looked back at the screen and kept clicking through the different screens.
"Diana, didn't you go to the workshop on properly filling these out? They're riddled with mistakes."
"Yes," she testily answered.
"You need to go to another. In fact, I'm suspending you from further missions until you figure out how to fill these out correctly."
"You don't have that power!"
"You obviously haven't read the handbook. I'll add that on the list of things you need to finish before I return you to active duty."
More paperwork. More red tape. More procedures. Diana hated it!
Diana stood up and bodily picked up Bruce. In less than a second, she had him against the wall, her two fists bunched in his uniform the only thing keeping him elevated off the floor.
If asked, Diana would have been unable to explain what she expected to gain from her rash behavior. But never in her wildest dreams had she expected him to smirk and say, "Assaulting a coworker. That's not going to look good on your record. Probably two week's probation and an anger management class."
His arms, which had hung limply at his side since he had been suspended in the air, came up and gently rested against her throat. She felt his fingers stroking the skin there, nearly causing her legs to buckle. It's just a decoy, she reminded herself, strengthening her resolve. This time he had gone too far. She wasn't letting go for the world.
"I refuse to fill out any more of your stupid forms. I will not attend any of your ridiculous classes, and I will not put you down until you apologize."
It was an idle threat, and if she had been more in control of her emotions, she would have admitted the foolishness of using intimidation tactics on Batman. But she was formidable in her own right, and he had really ticked her off.
"Apologize for what?"
"Oh, I don't know! Maybe for ruining my already terrible day by criticizing my every move, and then having the gall to flirt with me!"
There was a brief pause before Bruce flatly said, "That's ridiculous. I've never flirted with you."
As if to prove his point, the fingers that had been caressing her neck stilled. For a brief instant Diana regretted having said anything, but the feeling disappeared when she temporarily lost all sensation in her arms. Bruce had performed one of his tricks, pushing on some points on her neck and shoulders, incapacitating her arms and causing her to release him. He didn't even fall in a heap, but landed gracefully on his booted feet.
Diana's mouth opened in angry shock. Her eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, providing a stark contrast to the ever growing smile on Bruce's mouth. Her disbelief at his lies caused her to sputter. Why that disgusting pig of--
Taking advantage of her loss of words he said, "What? I'm surprised you have nothing to say."
He lifted one of her motionless arms and examined it so closely she could feel his breath on her skin. "You might want to visit the infirmary. There might be bruises." Then he quickly hit the same pressure points as before, restoring function to her upper limbs.
Sensation flooded back into her arms, causing them to tingle pleasantly. She yanked her arm away and growled, "No. No more paperwork. From now on, if you want some form completed, do it yourself. Besides, since you just assaulted me, there are probably about five hundred of them with your name on them, just dying to be signed."
"All paperwork not completed by the party concerned or at fault is rendered null and void. And as for my actions, that was done in self-defense, necessitated by the impetuous actions of a coworker." As he spoke, the smile from earlier did not disappear.
Why she let him get to her so badly, she didn't know, but the dynamics of their relationship had always involved teasing and domination. While the number of victories was pretty much split evenly between them, today the momentum was definitely in Bruce's favor. They walked a thin line between love and…irritation, but neither of them particularly minded. They both secretly liked it.
And so they continued the contest, staring one another down. Due to her anger (or excitement; it was always so hard to tell), Diana was breathing heavily, but Bruce remained cool and unaffected. Deciding it was time to show him just how impetuous she could be, she walked over to him and kissed him on the mouth. The connection was brief, and she pulled back to see his reaction. There wasn't one. Taking this as a good sign, Diana leaned in again. It seemed that Bruce had been saving his response for their current kiss. Though he kept his hands at his sides, Diana felt his lips melt against hers as he answered her passion with plenty of energy and heat.
When her mouth was finally free, Diana flirtatiously smiled up at him. "So I guess that means I don't have to fill out any more of your forms."
"Wrong again. Given the circumstances, I'll ignore your latest infraction, but you're treading on thin ice, Princess. The League doesn't look kindly on sexual harassment."
His voice was even and measured. Bruce slowly extricated her hands from his body and walked over to the large table in the center of the room. As if he had just not received the most mind-blowing kiss of his entire life, Diana groused.
She knew that he was most likely pulling her chain, but that didn't stop her from throwing her arms up in frustration. "Why are you even here!?"
"I have something you need to sign. Think you can handle it?" The condescension in his voice made Diana want to rip her hair out.
"Yes," she tersely bit out.
"Good. Once you're finished, find me immediately. It's urgent." Diana stood there, left speechless yet again as Bruce exited the room.
Diana rushed over to the table and grabbed the paper. She was about to crumple it and throw it away, but then she saw the title of the form: Liability Waiver For Interdepartmental Relationships. Bruce had completed all the boxes save one. The only thing that was needed was her signature.
Diana happily sat down at the table and signed her name with a flourish next to his neat and stark John Hancock. Her task complete, she practically flew out of the room so that she could file her paperwork with Batman.
Finally! A form she didn't mind filling out.
The End
Just silly fluff. I watched The Office and Michael and Jan had to sign some Human Resources form so they could date. That's where I got the idea for the Liability Waiver. I seriously doubt the Justice League has to go through that kind of junk, but it made for an interesting scenario in my head.

THE UNITED STATES might—might—have a lock on cinematic depictions of male teen hormones. But when it comes to the female rendition of the task, we—along with everyone else—just got smoked by Turn Me On, Dammit!, a quirky 2011 Norwegian film by first-time feature director Jannicke Systad Jacobsen. Jacobsen's frank take on her subject material situates her at a taboo-breaking remove, even in a big place like Hollywood: One need only glance at the vast archives celebrating the male sexual coming-of-age to see the discrepancy.
In stylistic strokes familiar to its gritty-chic American indie counterparts, Dammit follows Alma (Helene Bergsholm) over the course of a particularly trying couple of months during the dog days leading up to her 16th birthday. Possessed by hormones, she gets busted for racking up phone-sex charges (we first meet her, mid-purchase, on the kitchen floor), rides rolls of coins when the register gets slow at work, and slips into erotic daydreams about virtually everyone she encounters in her tiny Norwegian village. Her mom (single, doomed to eternal toil at the local turnip factory) sleeps with earplugs.
Life with her small posse of friends, comprised of sisters Sara (Malin Bjørhovde) and Ingrid (Beate Støfring), is upset at a party, when Alma is approached by her crush, Artur (Matias Myren). In a weird, creepy fumble at an advance, he wordlessly takes out his erection and briefly pokes her thigh while they're alone outside. Her enthusiasm for—and his denial of—the event results in a jealous ostracization of Alma, who suffers the nickname "Dick-Alma" and takes up smoking hash alone, branded a pervert and a liar.
Dammit doesn't need to say much about horny teenage girls other than, unapologetically, that they exist, and can do so without conforming to the dead stock of bad girl associations—Alma's a sweet, ballsy, normal girl who shoulder taps for beer and shares a ritual with her friends in which they religiously flip off the road sign for their hometown every time they pass it. Vicarious glimpses of Oslo reveal a near future for her in which she can fashion her history and expand her education; she'll be just fine.
While the ending is a bit too pattingly winking and cute, Dammit tells its short, forthright tale briskly and with a curtsy before moving off stage right. Stark, blunt, and efficient, it draws a new mark in the ledger.

Upcoming Ballot Measures
Upcoming Ballot Measures (12/4/17)
The website of the Secretary of State contains more information on these and other pending initiatives, as well as measures in circulation and measures that have qualified for the ballot.
Initiative Coalitions
When the legislative process fails, pro-business and anti-business forces turn to the initiative process to take proposals directly to California voters. The California Chamber of Commerce has led the charge on behalf of the employer community for close to four decades.
There's a reason the Wall Street Journal dubbed CalChamber President and CEO Allan Zaremberg "coalition man." As a practical matter, the CalChamber's chief executive is recruited to chair major initiative campaigns, to lead the fundraising and to serve as spokesperson for these important efforts.
The CalChamber has been extremely successful with the support of the broader employer community.CalChamber has backed initiatives to enact tax relief and tort reform, and make politicians more accountable to voters. We have successfully challenged split roll property tax proposals and defeated security litigation.
We will continue to lead efforts to fight anti-business proposals, including those that threaten to increase taxes, health care expenses and frivolous lawsuits.
The California Business Political Action Committee (CalBusPAC) was established in 1976 to qualify, support and/or oppose statewide ballot initiatives. Contributions to CalBusPAC will aid California employers in preparing for future ballot battles.

Hwang, J., Jung, Y., and Bae, C., "Comprehensive Assessment of Soot Particles from Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel and Diesel in a Compression Ignition Engine," SAE Int. J. Fuels Lubr. 8(2):290-297, 2015, https://doi.org/10.4271/2015-01-0809.
The effect of biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil (WCO) on the soot particles in a compression ignition engine was investigated and compared with conventional diesel fuel. The indicated mean effective pressure of approximately 0.65 MPa was tested under an engine speed of 1200 revolutions per minute. The fuels were injected at an injection timing of −5 crank angle degree after top dead center with injection pressures of 80 MPa. Detailed characteristics of particulate matters were analyzed in terms of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and elemental analysis. Soot aggregates were collected on TEM grid by thermophoretic sampling device installed in the exhaust pipe of the engine.High-resolution TEM images revealed that the WCO biodiesel soot was composed of smaller primary particle than diesel soot. The mean primary particle diameter was measured as 19.9 nm for WCO biodiesel and 23.7 nm for diesel, respectively. WCO biodiesel showed faster mass reduction of soot particles according to surrounding temperature by TGA analysis. While the oxidation of soot particles from diesel continued until 933K, WCO biodiesel soot oxidation terminated at 833K. From elemental analysis, it was revealed that the diesel soot was mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen. On the other hand, WCO biodiesel soot contained high amount of oxygen species.

I love 99% of the video, but I hate the image at the end with the globe at the bottom and Ron Paul standing victoriously atop it....?!?!? Is that image supposed to get support from neocons?
That's not how I interpreted the image. I interpret it that Ron Paul, backed by the vision of the Founders and the principles that made America great, is the only candidate who can move the world to a new era of peace.

The fourth of July was extra special for Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski's fans, as the couple finally announced the arrival of their second child.
Krasinski, who has been married to the British actress since 2010 with whom he already shares an older 2-year-old daughter named Hazel, went on Twitter and wrote:
"What better way to celebrate the 4th… than to announce our 4th family member!!! 2 weeks ago we met our beautiful daughter Violet #Happy4th."
You may remember that we only heard about Blunt's second pregnancy when she announced it in January, and caught a glimpse of her adorable baby bump when she walked the red carpet at a premiere of "Alice Through The Looking Glass" in May.
Congratulations on the new addition to the family!

Kind of defeats the entire purpose of kayak Fishing. Who wants to listen to a weed wacker motor all day plus sucking in exhaust. I'll continue to enjoy the quiet. Even the electric motors have an irritating hum that takes away from the experience.
Pro Angler 14 "The Grand Wazoo"
If you take the exhaust and pipe it into the water that would quiet it down. Also the whole thing only weights 18-22 Lbs. Not like a trolling motor setup which could be between 50-75 Lbs. So let's look at it this way, you want to troll for some rock, you need to move along at about 3 mph. That's a lot of paddling. With this it's just drop and go. Another thing to think of, drop in a river,then run up stream and float down. OR drop in the Severn at JG and run up stream or down to the bay. I'm just tossing this out there.
With that said, I'm saving up for a Wilderness Radar 135 with pedal drive.

Sure why not? Guys are running electric motors and some are running gas motors. A few things to consider are 1) counter weight to the motor (balance the boat), 2) you'll need a rudder, 3) if you flip righting the yak in deep water might not be possible. I'm sure there are other issues but guys definitely do it.
Hookmeup, if you put the motor on the back you can use foot controls to turn it. Will also handle the "balance" and rudder issues. Plus it would be behind you so less noise. OR you could put it on a mount next to you and turn it from there. Im not promoting anyone's product or site but this guy has it figured out and he sells them, http://www.kayakbuddys.com/small%20leg.html

I Have the V2 Torqeedo- It does make an irritating HUM. I use it to get to a distant locations and turn it off and use the mirage drive. I love the quiet of the kayak and gas motors and their fumes and noise, make me get away as far as I can from them on every occasion I am out.
I would not want to fish with anyone using a gas motor. Bye-Bye fish.

Steve. Try it and let us know. Personally I'm with yak67 as far as motor noise having a negative impact on fishing.
I'm not spending $200 plus shipping to install this on my yak and then not have anybody fish with me. I mean what if I showed up to a meet and greet and was told that no one would fish with me. I would be crushed, destroyed,even devastated!! Then I would have to join a support group for disenfranchised gas powered yak owners. Where we would have to sit around and talk about the other mean yak owners and how they would not fish with us. We would then talk about our "feelings" and how to cope with the situation next time when the mean pedal/paddle kayaks said hurtful words. Then there's the cost of therapy. Next thing you know gangs are forming and then there's turf wars and kayak bombing and kayak Drive-bys. And all because I purchased a gas trolling motor. No thank you!!
But seriously I do not see how a gas powered yak would scare away the fish. I mean look at the charter boats for rockfish. Also I said that you could use it to go up river and float back down. Or float down and power back up. They say that at 1/2 to 2/3 throttle pushes you along at 3mph.

In the 8 years I've been going to the farmers market, i've noticed a gradual increase in the crowds at the alemany farmers market. but this years, it feels like a much more significant increase in the crowds - felt in the traffic, which is worse than ever, and the increase in vendors, a positive thing imho.
just out of curiosity, i'm curious to hear what others think is driving this.is it the lower cost of food there for better quality? is it refugees from the insultingly expensive prices at the ferry bldg market now that people pinch more pennies? increased interest in eating local produce?

The trip to Italy comprised a unique mix of school and daily excursions. During the week we stayed in a hotel in Caorle, a seaside resort on the Adriatic Sea. Each morning students attended custom-tailored classes at "Il Faro Center for Italian Language and Culture". In the afternoons they were led on guided tours exploring the surrounding area of Veneto including Treviso, Portogruaro, Concordia and of course Venice.
In addition to traditional walking tours, we also rode a 'bragozzo', a traditional Venetian boat, around the lagoon of Caorle to "l'Isola dei Pescatori" (Fisherman Island). The highlight of the week was a full day in Venice, visiting St Mark's Basilica and the Ducal Palace. We visited glassblowing workshops and lacemaking boutiques and took a gondola ride through Venice's picturesque canals.
Day 1: Arrival in Caorle!
After a long flight we arrived in Caorle, a beautiful medieval town of about 10,000, located along the Adriatic coast. Here we attended italian classes in the morning, and launched our day trips to cities in the Veneto region.
Day 2: Il primo giorno di scuola
After a well deserved, full-night's rest we began our first complete day in Caorle. The weather was beautiful, cool mornings warming to the high 60s in the full sun. Our hotel continued to feed us very well, with a traditional three course Italian meal for lunch and dinner. In the morning we were treated to an enormous prima colazione (the Sanguinello juice and local pane al cioccolato were particular popular).
A quick 15 minute walk from L'Hotel Venezia took us through the winding streets of Il Centro Storico and brought us to our school, located just off a central piazza. Il Faro was very charming – immaculately maintained by Liviana and her staff. The instructors Liviana, Barbara and Martina met our students cheerfully and began the week's lessons. Later that afternoon our local guide lead us through the old sites in town and give us an up-close history of Caorle's medieval past.
Day 3: Beyond Caorle, Treviso
By day three we had finally settled into our week and the day-to-day routine of morning classes and afternoon excursions. News from Il Faro was very positive, our students were making real improvements in their oral skills and their instructors were very pleased with their enthusiasm toward the Italian language.
After classes, and another enormous pranzo of fried calamari and pasta pomodoro e mozzarella, we ventured beyond Caorle to the picturesque walled medieval city of Treviso, about an hour west of Carole. There we encountered the 13th century Romanesque Chiesa di San Francesco, famous for its original medieval frescos and its vaulted ceiling, borrowed from boat designs of the era. Later we explored the enormous Cattedrale di San Pietro di Apostolo, noted for its massive dome and Titian masterpiece, the altarpiece "L'Annunziata". In all we left very impressed with Treviso, in many ways a preview of Venice, with a labyrinth of streets, crisscrossed with canals.
Day 4: Beyond Caorle, Portogruaro
After another morning of classes and an incredible stop for pizza we were off to Portogruaro, a charming medieval town about an hour north of Caorle. There we met the lovely Elena, our local guide for the day, who led us on a wonderful walk through town, highlighting all of the major sites. First stop was the Parco della Pace, dotted with aromatic "glicine" (wisteria) in full bloom.
Later we made our way to the Museo Nazionale Concordiese, which hosts a fantastic collection of 1st century Roman artifacts. The group was very impressed but wondered where all the noses and heads had run off to! Next we made our way toward the center of town, la Piazza della Repubblica, under the shadow of a less famous leaning torre, the Campanaria.
Like Treviso, Portogruaro is laced with waterways and canals, although swifter. Our group really enjoyed the walk along the waterwheels and locks that redirect and harness the power of the current. Finally we took a well-deserved rest in the grassy shade within the courtyard of the very old Liceo Marconi, originally built as a lazzaretto (a renaissance era isolation ward).
After the break and a little shopping (and gelato-ing), we hopped a local bus to see Concordia, the original site of the Roman artifacts we saw earlier in the day. Our students really enjoyed the up-close window into ancient Roman-life.
Day 5: Caorle's bragozzi and casoni
After classes, we explored the canals and waterways around Caorle in a bragozzo (a traditional fishing boat), stopping to visit one of the ancient island communities that dot Venezia's lagoons. There we were given access to one of the island's casoni (a reed-thatched house once used by local fishermen) owned for generations by the family of our captain Riccardo.
Day 6: Venezia, the grand finale!
After a long journey we finally arrived in Venice, a site one will not easily forget. We began at the Ducal Palace, exploring the golden rooms of the Serenìssima Republican government, making our way across the Ponte dei Sospiri to St Mark's Basilica and Piazza.
After another exquisite lunch (highlighted with an excellent nutella tiramisu) we visited a nearby glassblowing workshop and traditional lace-maker shop, and then capped the entire trip off with a lazy glide through the canals in four gondolas, which emptied us into the Grand Canal at sunset – Venice did not disappoint!
Day 7: Arrivederci!
Sad to leave, we said our goodbyes to the Veneto, enjoying one last stroll through Caorle's winding streets…

Small firms to be allowed seek low-cost examinerships
Thousands of smaller firms will be able to seek examinerships for the first time at low cost under changes that are being planned by the Government.
Examinerships, which give troubled companies protection from their creditors, are mostly used by larger companies due to the costs involved. Many smaller firms simply try to struggle on with their debts or go into liquidation /receivership.
A company itself can apply to be put into examinership, but once a firm exceeds a certain threshold of debt, its examinership case can only be heard in the High Court, meaning it is highly prohibitive on cost grounds for debt-ravaged firms.
But Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Minister Richard Bruton is examining these thresholds which should allow more examinerships to go before the far cheaper Circuit Court. Mr Bruton is going to look at changing the thresholds in the context of the Companies Bill.
This bill will group together existing Irish company legislation dating from 1963 and introduce several company law reforms.
Mr Bruton said in a new parliamentary reply that this bill was moving through his department.
"I am positively disposed to substantially increasing this current threshold in the context of the forthcoming Companies Bill which is currently being progressed by my department in conjunction with the office of the parliamentary counsel,'' said Mr Bruton.
While the offer of a cheaper examinership process will be welcomed by small business organisations, creditors to these firms will greet the idea with some nervousness.
In most cases the senior secured creditors are banks and they may have to forgo some of the interest they are owed, while the principal they are owed is repaid via instalments.
Preferred creditors like the Revenue Commissioners are usually paid a substantial sum, but unsecured creditors usually receive very little. This group often objects to examinerships, but is rarely able to stop them if senior creditors are in favour.

Interstellar is an Epic Journey into the Vastness of Space
While many are saying Interstellar didn't reach the lofty heights it set it has in doing so reached remarkable heights none-the-less. A movie that engulfs us in the vastness of space, the drama of relationships and the dilemma of the human race.
Set in a not-too-distant future the Earth is wheezing under the constant fall of dust and crop-destroying blight. Humankind is in dire straits and desperate for some relief.
Matthew McConaughey is Cooper, a widowed farmer and former test pilot. A man who is appalled at the current state of human affairs. "We've forgotten who we are: explorers, adventurers, not caretakers. We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt."
One night he stumbles upon a top secret NASA facility. There he meets Professor Brand (Michael Caine), the director of an ambitious two pronged project to find a habitable planet and find a way to save the people on Earth.
Cooper ends up leading a mission whose purpose is to follow up on the work of previous astronauts in identifying a suitable home planet. The journey will require them to surrender themselves to the powerful forces of a black hole which will take them to another galaxy. Professor Brand's daughter (Anne Hathaway) will be along for the ride as well as scientists Romilly (David Gyasi) and Doyle (Wes Bentley). A robot named TARS voiced by Bill Irwin is along for the ride, too.
The passing of time is often touched on in the movie. This is because of the time bending qualities of black holes making time pass comparitively slowly than that on Earth. Cooper doesn't look a day older but his daughter goes from the age of ten to his own age. When he finally gets to see her she is an old woman about to die.
The movie is thought provoking. Talk of gravity and black holes and fifth dimension nebulous chatter the latter of which is in need of embracing if you wish to swallow and not choke on this gigantic red pill. There's also the mysterious force called "they" that seems to be helping humanity. The worm hole and fifth dimensional space their lifeline to us.
The movie does have some welcome unexpected twists. Professor Brand's disturbing revelation on his deathbed. An astronaut who deceives the crew and causes mayhem and destruction (a pleasant surprise and well-played role by an actor who will remain unnamed 😉
Critics admire the ambition and scope of the movie but aren't shy in giving their criticisms.
They say it's too long, sluggishly paced and has trouble keeping it's complex plot straight. A movie unable to transcend it's fifth dimension gimmick to greatness.
It runs into problems with it's sound mixing. The thundering score by Hans Zimmer sometimes overwhelming the dialogue.
That the screenplay is a pendulum breaker going from clunky to corny. Talk of Gravimetric Field Displacement Manifold to squishy sentiments such as 'Love is the one thing that transcends dimensions of time and space.'
These criticisms and others in no way eclipse the merits of the movie though. We're treated to technical virtuosity and gorgeous inventive visuals. An awe-inspiring, wide-eyed look and sojourn into the vastness of space and setting foot on exotic planets. Viewers are made to feel as though they are along for the ride strapped into their very own seat aboard the spacecraft.
Director Christopher Nolan's stamp of distinction is all over this film. Intelligence, ambition, emotion and grandeur.
Interstellar is contemplative, intimate in tone, stirring and beautiful. A spectacle that shares the spirit of exploration and discovery with us. A movie in which we are exposed to the wonders and complexities of intergalactic space travel.
