South Puget Sound Wildlife Area Management Plan
Habitat - Wildlife Area Management
Date Published: November 2006
Number of Pages: 76
Author(s): Richard Kessler
The South Puget Sound Wildlife Area Complex is made up of multiple parcels of land owned and/or maintained by WDFW. These parcels include the following units: Union River, South Puget Sound Urban Wildlife Interpretive Center, McNeil Island (Gertrude and Pitt Islands), Nisqually, Ohop, Scatter Creek, Black River, Skokomish Delta, Skookumchuck, Duckabush, Morgan Marsh, and West Rocky Prairie. These properties total approximately 8,020 acres in Thurston, Pierce, east Mason, Kitsap and Jefferson counties.
Management goals for the South Puget Sound Wildlife Area Complex are to preserve habitat and species diversity for both fish and wildlife resources, maintain healthy populations of game and non-game species, protect and restore native plant communities, and provide diverse opportunities for the public to encounter, utilize, and appreciate wildlife and wild areas.
Units that provide habitat or recreational opportunities for waterfowl and/or migratory birds include Nisqually, Ohop, Black River, Skokomish, Morgan Marsh and Skookumchuck. Prevention of further development on Union River, Nisqually, Ohop, Black River, Big Beef Creek, Morgan Marsh and Skokomish Units provides protection of critical habitat for many salmon species. Some of these units also provide recreational fishing opportunities. Management for upland birds including pheasant, grouse and occasionally turkey occur on the Skookumchuck, Black River and Scatter Creek Units. The South Puget Sound UWIC Unit, a non-consumptive recreational and educational unit, provides habitat for many species and has played a primary role in the efforts to recover populations of western pond turtles, a state endangered species. The McNeil Island Unit, which includes Gertrude and Pitt Islands, provides opportunities for many species due to limited access. These islands provide habitat for a great blue heron rookery, bald eagle nests and haul out sites for marine mammals, especially harbor seals, all federally protected species. Scatter Creek, a relatively large unit, supports many unique species due to the prairie and wetland habitats found here. These species include great blue heron, northern alligator lizard, western bluebird, vesper sparrow, mazama pocket gopher, and several species of butterfly including the state endangered mardon skipper. Other species historically seen, but not now present on Scatter Creek include the slender-billed white-breasted nuthatch, streaked horned lark, Oregon vesper sparrow, western gray squirrel and several species of butterfly. Scatter Creek is one of only two remaining south Puget Sound sites that supports the state endangered Mardon skipper. State candidate status butterflies: Puget blue, Taylor's checkerspot, and valley silverspot occupy this site, as well as several state monitor status butterfly species. The Skookumchuck Unit is managed for multiple species as part of the mitigation agreement. Habitat is provided for big game and small game, waterfowl including wood duck, as well as non-game species such as pilleated woodpecker, western bluebird, spotted frog and western pond turtle.
The primary management concerns and public issues identified in the South Puget Sound Wildlife Area Complex Plan are:
In 2006, the following major wildlife and habitat enhancement activities were completed:

Kettler Inc. pushes south into Virginia and North Carolina markets
- July 26, 2011
- |
Kettler Inc., one of the largest private real estate and property management companies in the Washington, D.C., metro area, is expanding into Virginia and North Carolina. The company has acquired seven properties in these states and hired two new employees to manage them.
In Virginia, Kettler bought a multifamily portfolio in Hampton Roads with Federal Capital Partners (FCP) for $87.9 million. Purchased from Great Atlantic Management Co., the acquisition totaled 1,490 garden apartments in seven communities in Hampton, Newport News and Virginia Beach. With the addition of these units, the company hired Matt Smith as Kettler's regional manager in Tidewater. He worked previously for S.L. Nusbaum Realty Co.
Kettler also has taken over the management of a community in Charlotte, N.C., and recently assumed the management of a development deal in Raleigh, The Gallery at Cameron Village. It named Barbara O'Steen vice president of operations of the North and South Carolina regions. O'Steen formerly held regional property management positions with Greystar Real Estate Investment Co. and Ram Realty Services.
Kettler, based out of McLean, manages nearly 20,000 properties in 82 locations from New York to South Carolina.

A few weeks ago I was asked to list my Top-10 Keeper League Goalie Prospects in the DobberForums. Since then, I've taken some more time to expand the list to include 50 total prospects. In this two-part series, we'll take an in-depth look at the Top-30 prospects for fantasy keeper leagues, along with ten goalies I consider "off the grid" and ten more you shouldn't touch with…well…how about a ten-foot pole?
Because most of the "legitimate" goalie prospects are still so young (anywhere from 16 to 24 years old), realize they are in the very early stages of their professional-level development. This makes the process of ranking them by fantasy value a much tougher project than it seems. Had this been a one-year prospects list simply by talent or ability, the process would have been much easier…but where's the fun in that?!
What I've learned about compiling a keeper-league prospect list is that video is vital. Any time I can actually see a goalie that nobody has ever heard of, whether through Youtube or another goalie site, it's pure gold. Fortunately, I've kept a close eye on McKeen's and of course Dobber's websites to aid in my search. So along with my understanding of how a goaltender must develop efficiently from the ages of 16 to 24, this should be a pretty solid resource for Dobber's faithful followers.
The Revised Top-10 List
I already listed more than 10 in my original post, but since then some changes have already been made. Here's the revised Top-10 without their scouting report, since that was already included.
The more I watch and read about Michal Neuvirth, the more he continues to climb. Evidence for his keeper-league appeal can be seen in the fact that Jose Theodore is inconsistent and Simeon Varlamov is almost a band-aid boy. Neuvirth has had his share of injuries as well, but the poise and confidence he displayed in the AHL Finals was remarkable. Mark one down for smaller goalies, as he totally out-played Cory Schneider over the course of the series.
The same appeal is noticeable in Gustavsson as well. It's not so much what The Monster accomplished in Sweden or what his statistics prove, but how he's holding himself in such high esteem. The kid seems to have a lot of confidence that is probably considered by many to be borderline "cocky" for someone who has never played a game in North America. Regardless, scouts and GM's are very high on him.
This just might be one of the best scouting reports I've ever read on a goaltender…enjoy this as much as I did!
"A large butterfly goaltender that fills the net and can make athletic stops. Gustavsson's bread and butter is stationing himself near the top of the crease, taking away most of the net from the shooter before hitting his compact butterfly. When in the butterfly his height is advantageous because it allows his shoulders to cover the upper portion of the net while his legs fill the lower half. Has a very low sagging stance in which he advertises a gaping five-hole, however he collapses into the butterfly on every save to instantaneously shut it. Typically will exploit his size and sound positioning by hitting the butterfly to play the percentages against shooters in tight, but he also boasts the flexibility and quickness in his lower extremities to make sudden kick saves to stone a crafty shooter. Effectively plays the middle of the net and can snap pucks out of the air with his trapper." - Max Giese, McKeen's Hockey
One reason why a McKeen's scouting report is perfect for goaltenders - their chief scout was a former pro goaltender. A lot of things he wrote about Gustavsson, we've analyzed in previous School of Block sessions. Yeah, I think being a pro goalie scout just might be the most amazing job in the world. Alas, here are the next 20 prospects on our list.
The Rest of the Top-25
Murphy is an absolute steal for the Hurricanes organization. He's a smaller goalie with incredible acrobatic flair and a very high compete level. With Tom Barrasso working on refining his sometimes outlandish style, Murphy is still a prized keeper league prospect. He will soak up so much information from Barrasso about being more positionally sound, how to take away more time and space by playing higher up in the crease and how to stay consistent. Similar to Barrasso's impact on Ward, Murphy could succeed on the NHL stage sooner than you think. The skills, desire and work ethic is already in place, the only thing left to do is be patient and execute when opportunity strikes.
Why is Salak so high on this list? Very few had heard about him until he signed a deal with the Florida Panthers in late-May. Well, take a closer look at his seasons in Finland for TPS and you'll see he's being mentored and coached by one of the most well-respected European goalie coaches of all time, Urpo Ylonen. I discussed this when Salak was signed, but Urpo's impact on Salak will be huge. The one responsible for guiding Miikka Kiprusoff and Antero Niittymaki to their NHL careers is honing a Czech youngster, which makes the whole dynamic even more interesting to follow. Ultimately, there's a reason why the Panthers signed Salak and there's many more reason to believe he could come over to North America after one more year with TPS in SM-liiga. He's that good.
MacIntyre's accomplishments in the last two AHL seasons are impressive. In 2007-08 he was named to the AHL Second All-Star team after compiling a 2.24 GAA in 45 games for the Manitoba Moose. This season he was even better for the Milwaukee Admirals, posting an awesome .931 save percentage in 11 playoff games. Only Cory Schneider posted better stats in this year's AHL Playoffs than MacIntyre. And if Nashville's goalie carousel over the last two years is any indication of the future, MacIntyre will be an NHL netminder very soon. He's progressing faster than a lot of the other prospects on my list and because of that pace, he gets slated pretty high up.
Weiman might be considered too high on this list for many of you. But not many know that he has crucial traits that consistently turn a goalie's value from mediocre to "must-own". I've seen his incredible poise and knack for making massive saves at key moments for more than four seasons. He was the best goalie in the most recent Avalanche Training Camp. He's a few years removed from leading the Colorado Eagles (CHL) to a championship as a rookie, but is still developing nicely in Lake Erie. He will take advantage of any opportunity he gets. But it may not come in Colorado, otherwise he would have already played more than five games. Timing will be everything for Weiman.
My thoughts on the Vantaa Vulture are found here . Obviously he's a work in progress, but with size and mobility like that, it's really only a matter of time until he's playing in the NHL.
I'll be honest - I didn't know much about Irving's style until looking at some video more closely (albeit Youtube). Irving employs a "calm" butterfly that brings great rebound control to his arsenal of talents. Letting the puck come to him and waiting for plays to develop are two of his best traits. He's one of the strongest prospects at handling plays coming out of the corners and along the half-boards. Those plays are all about patience and reading the play, so in that regard Irving is a future star. But if he wants to really exceed at the NHL level, he will need to play higher in his crease and play a more aggressive style. Goalies don't need to play deep in order to "show patience". They just need to improve their foot speed and play with more confidence. Ultimately, a few more seasons of "bulking up" and improving overall athletic ability will be the key to Irving's success. Regardless, he's a lock as a future NHL starter.
Everyone knows this kid has game. If you take what I said about Marc-Andre Fleury's positioning and then watch a Dustin Tokarski clip on Youtube, you'll instantly see some similarities. One thing I can't even begin to stress about Tokarski is the patience and quickness he has. The clip below is an amazing example of what I'm talking about. The thing that sticks out in that clip to me is the amazing transfer of weight. This is why smaller, more agile goalies are so much more proficient with today's butterfly. He drops and transfers weight to his right (on the fake) and only takes a split second to transfer that weight back to his left. With that upright, perfect 90-degree angle to his back, Tokarski is basically frictionless. Bigger goalies have more weight to shift around, so they take longer to transfer more weight.
When compared to Thomas McCollum, Larsson blows him away talent-wise. The only reason you haven't heard much about Larsson is because Detroit is playing the waiting game with him. With the salary cap situation in Detroit starting to cause a few problems, it looks like Larsson will start to move up in the depth charts. Jimmy Howard is expected to be Chris Osgood's backup, which makes Larsson the starter in Grand Rapids. The former Elitserien Rookie of the Year is just scratching the surface of his capabilities. He is similar in style to Gustavsson and I remember that he performed very well in the Traverse City Prospects Tournament last September.
Another slippery, quick European goaltender, Janus displayed some incredible skills at this year's World Juniors. Through two seasons with the Erie Otters, Janus has sparked a big international buzz for his display of athleticism and passionate play. Similar to Gustavsson, Janus is very mobile while in the tight butterfly and has very quick feet. He's smooth moving laterally and likes to be aggressive and active in the crease at times. But he also stays solid with great positioning. For a goalie with a smaller frame, he has improved very well in his second season in the OHL. I can't wait to see when Janus is drafted…it might be higher than usual.
Greiss has developed slower than most of these long-term projects, but this past season was a much-needed mini-breakout season for the German netminder. He set a record for the Worcester Sharks with 30 wins and with only three games of NHL action, he barely falls into the prospects category. With great positioning and elite flexibility, Greiss continues to refine his game and reach a much-needed comfort level as an AHL starter. With all of his international experience under his belt, Greiss will be molded into a solid #1 that can play a lot of games and provide plenty of consistency.
The former Colorado College standout was a silent assassin during his tenure with the WCHA's Tigers. He didn't collect many accolades, but he did have a breakout year with the Hartford Wolf Pack this year. He was one of the top AHL rookies in many different categories and was even named the AHL Goalie of the Month for February, which doesn't happen often for a rookie. Zaba has great leadership abilities and has a wide butterfly but still stays very compact when the puck is in tight. He has incredible balance, which is caused by his knees, which are bent slightly more than most butterfly goaltenders. Zaba agreed to terms with the Rangers just a few weeks ago and should get plenty of work as a second-year goalie in Hartford.
The former DU Pioneer is probably the most unconventional butterfly goalie I've seen in years. He plays a hybrid style that depends more on standing up and conserving energy than taking away the bottom portion of the net. But Mannino is a confident, strong goaltender with excellent net coverage. He's a big guy that can stand in there and make 35 saves seem like 20. He doesn't waste a lot of energy since he doesn't rely on the butterfly so much. He's a great leader and understands how to come through in big games. His career at Denver was very successful and I was fortunate to spend a few hours on the ice with him. His understanding of the position is bar-none, but his own personal style is very different from what you would come to expect from a prized keeper league prospect.
It was a mistake for the Calgary Flames to trade away Lalande's rights. Especially considering Curtis McElhinney is not really proving much in the way of prized keeper prospect, the Flames would have been much better off retaining Lalande. After spending four years with the Belleville Bulls, Lalande has jumped around between the AHL and ECHL. This season he played for three different teams, including the Las Vegas Wranglers, the Quad City Flames and then the Syracuse Crunch. Overall he posted a very strong .927 save percentage and 22 wins in 40 games. A full season with Syracuse will give him some much-needed confidence and exposure, as it seems that Lalande has flown under the radar that past few years.
Tordjman has taken time to get to the NHL, but he's seen a lot of action along the way. In Victoriaville it was not uncommon for Tordjman to face 35-40 shots in a single game. One season he averaged 31 shots against per game. Somehow Tordjman slipped through the NHL Entry Draft two years in a row and the only conceivable reason I can come up with for that is due to his size. He's only 165 pounds and was reported at 155 just a few years ago. There has been some talk that he struggles to keep weight on, but that it doesn't impact his play much. Technically, Tordjman is as solid as any other prospect at his level and should get his big chance in one or two more seasons.
Allen's value skyrocketed after he went 6-1-0 with a 1.43 GAA in the U-18 World Junior Championships for Team Canada. Allen is a very mobile goaltender with great reflexes and a sharp glove hand. His tight butterfly style is similar to the style that is dominated in the QMJHL. Allen displayed a lot of poise during the Traverse City Prospects Tournament back in September and has developed at a tremendous pace the last two years. Allen uses his 6-foot-2 frame to fill the net effectively, but still needs to play more aggressively, which allows him to take up even more space in the net. Even with all of the Blues goaltending prospects muddying up the depth charts, Allen is poised to make an impact at the NHL level.
STAY TUNED FOR PART II, which includes the final 25 keeper-league goalie prospects on our list!

This is favorite restaurant
outside The Woodlands. It is my favorite of most places in The Woodlands as well. Not too much farther than venturing to Market Street for us and well worth the trip. Beautiful, impressive, delicious. I have never had anything underwhelming here."

Our very knowledgeable and
professional server explained the concept of Peli Peli and the specialty food choices available. Without doubt, we were served some of the finest foods that were presented in a fresh and artful manor. To suggest "this was the best lamb chop I had ever been served" would be an understatement; to recommend that Peli Peli open a culinary class and "teach the world how to prepare and cook lamb" is closer to reality. The Chef knows meat, the servers know service, I have to recommend Peli Peli as a "must try" restaurant. If South African Cuisine truly is a category I now appreciate why Mr. Ernie Els wears a constant smile upon his face. If you are in The Woodlands, Don't miss this great opportunity."
Dined on 11/18/2013
I will say the food is always
great. One negative is the loudness of the restaurant. You really can't hold conversations here. We dined early and saw the chef go to different tables but he never stopped at ours. He only seemed interested in certain people. I love coming here for the food but it is not a very welcoming atmosphere. I guess I expect at least a manager to stop by and ask if the meal met our expectations and when the chef sits for a while with the table directly next to us and never even said hello when he passed was bad behavior on his part. So, the food is great but the management/chef may want to look to make ALL patrons feel welcome because I can go to many other places and feel like they are happy I visited."

We came to Peli Peli for a casual
dining experience, but was enhanced by the covered patio and pleasant weather. However, out of nowhere, the sky opened up and a 10 minute downpour just emptied out the crowds that were in the open areas of the plaza and were scrambling for shelter. We just enjoyed our South African wine while waiting on our main dish. I had the Safari Steak and my wife had the Madagascar Pepper Steak. We traded bites and both steaks were out of this world! If you're tired of the other local upscale restaurants, then you should definitely try this local casual gem. The soft live jazz ensemble was also very pleasant while waiting to be seated."

Peli Peli came highly recommended

We both were so taken with the flavor of the meals. I, personally, have never experienced such an incredible combination of flavors to the point where I was still experiencing the wonderful after effects two hours after our meal! I cannot explain how this experience truly shows one how the sense of smell and sense of taste are tied together. Thank you Chef Paul for creating...through God...an incredible experience with food! We will definitely be back!"

This place was voted best romantic
restaurant in Houston. Upon arriving we were seated promptly. As we were walking to our table we noticed how uncomfortably close the tables were to others. Luckily we had a booth. The second thing we noticed was the extreme noise. You could hardly hear the nice music that was playing by the entrance. The decor in the restauarant is nice but not romantic. My opinion of a romantic dinner with my wife is a quiet one. I do not know how this place was voted best romantic restaurant. The food was good but not excellent. We have had better at less notable restaurants. Overall I would say if you love sitting extremely close to other customers and having dinner in a very noisy place then this is the place to go."

What an amazing experience! The
chef is from South Africa, and he uses this amazing PeliPeli spice on almost every dish (Don't worry- it's not the kind of spice that burns your mouth- trust me, I'm a wuss). It is so good!

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs)
In USAJOBS, some vacancy announcements require the submission of KSAs instead of vacancy questions. KSAs, knowledge; skills; and abilities, are a list of special qualifications and personal attributes that you need to have for a particular job.

Carrboro >Food & Dining > Glasshalfull
106 S Greensboro St, Carrboro, NC | Directions 2751035.909816 -79.072444
Mon. - Sat. 5pm - 10pm;Sun. CLOSED
Carrboro hot spot. – I've searched, but I can't seem to find a web site for this place. So, I'll try to write about the dishes from memory (with no help from an on-line menu).
Large, vibrant space from which they also sell wine.
Menu is mainly "small" dishes with about six "large" dishes for those who prefer an entree-sized portion.
Our table of six had the following (sharing most):
duck confit (2)
fresh-cut fries
frisee salad
NC tuna with curry sauce and papadam (or, "puppodum") (2)
assorted cheeses with onion relish and apricot marmalade (2)
home-cured olives
charcuterie plate
calamari fritte
scallops (2)
apple strudel with a star anise caramel sauce
pots de creme of chocolate and rose water (2)
pear tartin with cinnamon ice cream
The only dish that was not completely devoured was the calamari: we felt it was too greasy.
If you add it all up, it worked out to about three plates per person. Bill was about $43 per person, 2 bottles of wine included, before gratuity.
Service was great and we would certainly return.
Interesting and fun with tasty selections and friendly staff – My wife and I were looking for something new to try on a Saturday night, and we picked a winner. We showed up about 6:45 on a Saturday and had no trouble getting a table. Good timing as things started picking up after 7pm. Their staff was very friendly and attentive, and very happy to make recommendations. To be clear, Glasshalffull is not traditional Tapas, but serves basically an all appetizer type menu. Prices ranged from $4 to $14 (filet mignon). Our favorite was a special (Hoisin ribs), but we enjoyed each of the 6 plates we tried. Overall, very reasonably priced, including their wine and beer selections. While it was just to 2 of us for our first visit, it is definitely a place that would be fun to go to with a group of friends.
Top-notch tapas restaurant and wine bar charms the Carrboro crowd. – In Short
A practically perfect date spot, this restaurant gives diners an excuse to cozy up and share tasty tapas. The atmosphere is warm and modestly urban with brick walls and earthy colors, but the true conversation piece is the menu--go for selections like the cheese plate, the spicy shrimp or the chocolate crostini. A large selection of wine offers an opportunity to sample, and the in-house shop means you don't have to go home empty-handed.

EC: SafetyBridge Technology
Network Integration - I/O systems: Phoenix Contact's new SafetyBridge technology makes it possible to distribute safe I/O modules in a network without the need for a safety controller. This is a Control Engineering 2013 Engineers' Choice Award winner.
Phoenix Contact's new SafetyBridge technology makes it possible to distribute safe I/O modules in a network without the need for a safety controller. This enables functional safety for a machine or system in a cost-effective manner. The technology is network-independent, and will work with most commonly used control platforms. SafetyBridge technology allows the input and output modules to exchange safety-related signals with one another. Since the modules process the safety function themselves, the standard control system and network are only used as a transport medium.
By eliminating the safety controller and safe fieldbus system, SafetyBridge technology can reduce the cost of a safety system. The safety logic operations are directly processed in the intelligent safety output module. The safety modules can be distributed throughout an automation system using Phoenix Contact's Inline Modular I/O. SafetyBridge easily integrates into Profibus, Profinet, Interbus, and EtherNet/IP protocols over Phoenix Contact, Siemens Step 7, and Allen-Bradley RSLogix 5000 control suites. The Safeconf software makes it easy to parameterize the safety input and output channels and generate the safety logic, even for those without programming experience. Pre-configured function blocks are available for almost any application. The standard control only has to copy non-safety I/O data bidirectionally between the input and output modules. Consequently, the control does not handle any safety-oriented tasks.

One of the most important features of any meal is the different textures it combines. This menu pairs tender roasted carrots, creamy avocados, delicate sprouts, and juicy lamb. Pure, clean flavors and a meal you can feel good about -- all achievable in well under an hour on a weeknight.
The Menu
Lamb Burgers with Cilantro Yogurt
Serves 4-6
2 pounds ground lamb
1 cup whole milk yogurt (you kind of need the whole for the texture)
Handful of fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, pressed or very finely chopped
1. Heavily season the ground lamb with salt and pepper.
2. Mix yogurt, chopped cilantro, garlic and add salt to taste; set aside.
3. Cook burgers on grill or under the broiler, flipping once.
4. Serve burgers hot with yogurt sauce on the side.
Save and print this recipe at Food52.
Get the recipe for Carrot Avocado Salad on Food52.
Serves 4
2 pounds ground lamb
Whole milk yogurt
1 bunch fresh cilantro
2 pounds carrots
1 orange
1 lemon
Cumin seeds
Sunflower seeds
1 avocado
2 cups baby sprouts
Creme fraiche
We're assuming that you already have olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, red pepper flakes, garlic, red wine vinegar, and sesame seeds on hand. If not, you'll be needing those things, too!
1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Simmer the carrots for 10 minutes, drain, and set aside.
2. Prepare the citrus marinade, toss with the carrots, and roast till they're tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the cilantro yogurt, and season ground lamb with salt and pepper. Form 4 to 6 lamb patties. Take the carrots out of the oven.
4. Plate the salad: divvy the carrot and avocado slices between four plates. Top with greens, creme fraiche, salad dressing, and seeds.
5. Grill the burgers, top each patty with a spoonful of cilantro yogurt (or serve alongside), plate, and serve!

"She sings with rich sound, an unerring feel for the nuance and subtext of a phrase, and alluring sensuality."
The New York Times (January 2010)
Born in Riga in 1976 into a musical family, Elīna Garanča entered the Latvian Academy of Music in Riga in 1996 and two years later, while still a student and with only ten days' notice, she performed the role of Giovanna Seymour in Anna Bolena, uncovering a deep affinity with the bel canto repertoire. After graduation she joined the Meiningen Staatstheater in Germany where she appeared in roles including Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier. In 1999 she also sang the role of Maddalena in Verdi's Rigoletto at the Savonlinna Opera Festival and won the Mirjam Helin Singing Competition in Finland. She has since appeared at the world's major opera houses and concert venues and established herself as one of the music world's brightest stars thanks to her beautiful voice, musicianship and compelling stage portrayals.

"Star Gazing" offers connection between the artist and the natural world.
Penny Rosen '10 presented, "Star Gazing", a multi-media art exhibition accompanied by original poetry, at the Symposium for Artists & Scholars on April 17, 2009 at Randolph College.
Rosen the works under the guidance of her faculty mentors, Jim Muehlemann, associate professor of art, and Jim Peterson, associate professor of English, while an undergraduate student at Randolph College.
An abstract of the project follows...
If it is true that our names are in the cosmos before we are born, I see art as the microcosm we create of ourselves within that cosmos. My collages of test strips from black and white photography depict me and my times at Randolph-Macon Woman's College, in Alaska this past summer, and at home in South Carolina. Emerson said that there is nature and you and what is in between is art. The fishing line that strings the test strips together represents the connection between the natural world and me. The experiences in my six poems are a part of a deeper side of my memories that you cannot see in the pictures. Like stars, these visual and poetic images extend and root the universe that encompasses the cosmos of my art.
The Student Symposium of Artists and Scholars provides Randolph College students from all classes and disciplines the opportunity to present the results of their research, scholarship, and creative work to the entire College community and beyond.
The two-day symposium, modeled after a typical academic conference, features oral presentations of student research, readings of creative work, musical performances, and exhibitions of student artwork. The symposium also includes a poster session, reception and a keynote address from a noteworthy academic speaker.

Really nice hosts and they were very welcoming. They're very open and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the interior of the house was beautiful. Taxis are really easy to get and pretty cheap in this area. We recommend making a trip to Uluwatu from here - beach is amazing.
Lina was without question the best host on Airbnb we've had so far. She went out of her way to make sure that we have a pleasent stay, helping us with everything from Gili Islands tickets to sim cards. The appartement is located perfectly, bedroom & bathroom are super clean and the kitchen is equipped with literally everything including a juicer. You can really tell how much love Lina puts into being a host. We guarantee you will have an amazing stay here!
I went to Bali with my partner and 2 kids and we needed to stay near the airport. Lina and Aya's place was the perfect option as it was a short drive from the airport and had all the amenities we needed.
The place was clean, quiet and we had no issues during our stay. Our hosts helped us with anything we needed and they are my top recommendation if you need to stay near the airport and don't want to spend a fortune on accommodation.
Place is really close to the Depansar airport, so it was perfect for us after a late flight. Aya picked us up in the airport and we were in the room within 15 minutes
Lina and Aya are really sweet, and "naturally hospitable" according to my mom!
Lina & Aya are super nice hosts .
Their room was clean and close to airport .
Just book it right now !
So lucky to live their house !
Deeply thank you .
Lina and Aya were very friendly and helped us to arrange a Taxi to the Airport. The Location is pretty near to the airport and the house is quite nice. The bed was a bit to small for two persons though. Unfortunately we didn't stay long but anyway it's a nice place to stay if you are arriving or leaving Bali.
Lina was kind enough to let us in even though we arrived at 1am!
Lina & Aya have a small Balinese style house that is perfect for if you wish to be close to the airport or perhaps if you intend a longer stay since they both seem very enjoyable and might share their Bali & Kuta knowledge with you.
Lina and Aya were lovely hosts. Lina arranged a pick up service from the airport and it was fairly early in the morning, let alone on Christmas day and she was there at 7am sharp and was much appreciated. Room was clean, quiet, sunny, and with a balcony so you can take in the stars before bed. The bed was comfortable and the house was very warm and had a home-like feeling to it. Perfect for both a short stay like ours, or longer one (I wish). Had some great conversation with Lina and Aya and they were both very helpful if you have any questions. They are located in Kuta, about 20 minutes from the beach (shorter time if you're taking a taxi) and there's tons to do if you get into central Kuta more with massages, little market shopping, or eating. Overall, wonderful stay and wish we can meet again. Thank you! xo love from Canadians.
We had a nice time in this house. Lina was so friendly and nice. Swiming pool in the kitchen is awsome! House is very clean and is in good location. Thank you :)
Lina and Aya were great hosts. They were so helpful and always gracious with their time. It was like staying with friends. Their house is comfortable, the room is spacious with great A/C. I really enjoyed spending time with them when I wasn't surfing or trying not to get killed on the Scooter. They were so sweet to let me leave my surfboards at their house while I traveled to Ubud for 5 days. It was a huge help and I hope to see them in California soon so that I may show them as good a time as they showed me. Love you guys!! Ciao.

Barack Obama would have lost the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections had a new set of voters not joined the American electorate—voters who brought with them a range of values that differed sharply from those of more traditional voters. These changing values—on such issues as personal social responsibility, the role of government, sexual mores, gender roles, and America's place in the world—underpin the decisions these voters made on Election Day and provide a basis for understanding Obama's victory. They also signify profound changes to American politics and pose elemental challenges to both the Republican and Democratic parties in coming years.

Nothing like the words "Arctic" and "oil drilling" to get the environmental campaigners excited.All of the protests in the world will add up to very little without a practical, politically feasible alternative way forward. The lack of wide open debate on climate policy options -- and indeed efforts to squelch such debate -- is why most climate activism is simply empty exhortation. Perhaps such exhortation is at least therapeutic for those involved. Simply adding intensity to a political debate is a recipe for all sorts of problems -- including policy gridlock.
Add banks to the mix, and you have the perfect mix for a modern day witch-hunt.
The latest targets are Cairn Energy and the Royal Bank of Scotland. In a joint press release, PLATFORM, Friends of the Earth Scotland and the World Development Movement on Tuesday said they "condemn [the] link between public money and Cairn's Arctic drilling - RBS provided loan to oil company one month before it acquired rig for arctic drilling."
The amount in question is a reported $100m lent by RBS - majority owned by UK taxpayers - last December.
The (first) problem with their point, however, is that RBS is a corporate broker to Cairn -so the $100m is likely to be just a fraction of the total it lent to the oil company last year. There seems to be no evidence to show that this particular $100m and the Arctic drilling are linked.
Secondly, the environmentalists' outrage at taxpayer money financing oil drilling bizarrely stops with the Arctic. Drilling in Rajasthan - where Cairn in fact gets most of its oil - doesn't seem to be a problem. Yet why is it less acceptable to drill near barely-populated frozen landmass than in the middle of India, where actual people may be affected by the drilling operations?
Maybe because polar bears are much cuter than people?

"The lack of wide open debate on climate policy options..."
What makes a policy option qualify as "climate?"
For there to be a climate policy it seems there must be some demonstrable effect, symbolic gestures aside, on arresting or bending climate trends. I look forward to your explanation.

I see the debate on climate policy options as plenty wide-open, occupying a spectrum from denial of a climate problem and advocacy of business-as-usual, to advocates of delay on any climate policy changes like Lomborg, to advocates of technocractic policy solutions via large infusions of research dollars into decarbonization technology (such as yourself and the Breakthrough Institute), to advocates of adaptation approaches instead of GHG mitigation, to advocates of transition to nukes for decarbonization, and then to a mix of decarbonization options including renewables and nukes, and finally to purist visions of increased efficiency and distributed generation renewable solutions for full decarbonization and a return to 250ppm CO2. How is that range of climate policy debate not wide-open?

Yes, good question.
Certainly there is diversity out there for those who look, but once you get into the actual political process (e.g., what options are discussed in IPCC, US, UK, Australia, Japan, EU etc. gov't reports, the focus of attention in academia, in thhe media etc. I'd suggest that the scope of options is pretty limited.
That said, it has opened up considerably over 2010, which is a good thing.
But to the extent that activism focuses on the need "to act" and fights against "denial" especially thru battles over science, policy making will suffer.

/loony conspiracy hat on
Viewed from outside the US, the United States is an Empire(some believe evil) and it's Achilles Heel is oil. There are more then a few people who would like to keep it that way.
The movie The China Syndrome depicting a nuclear core meltdown at a US nuclear plant was released on 16 March 1979. On the 28th of March in 1979 a partial nuclear core meltdown occurred at Three Mile Island.
What are the odds that the timing of the two events was 'coincidence'?

Policy making suffers when the sales pitch encapsulated by the descriptor, such as "climate," is not supported by demonstrable science showing investment of resources and effort to achievable results that reflect the policy descriptor.

For better or worse, policies focused on controlling greenhouse gas emisisons are called "climate policies."
I agree that this is not the best condensation of the actual policies that might be considered. But it is what it is.
If you'd like, call then "greenhouse gas policies" as I did in my most recent post.

For professors and scientists to use the misleading language popularized by policy advocates, simply because the lemmings are walking in unison towards the precipice of disbelief, tends to bring out the "jaded stink-eye" by those who discover they have been mislead.

First, it makes sense to focus on protecting the Arctic. There is a lot of pristine wilderness and an enormous amount of wildlife. Also, the difficult access makes it harder to deal with accidents.
But symbols are a problem. NGOs of all political stripes find symbols like cute polar bear cubs to be very effective fundraising tools. But it's one thing for people to send a check to help polar bears, much different for a society to make difficult choices.
I think that the US political system gets into ruts very easily. On almost any issue, it is very difficult to change directions once people are on record supporting or opposing a specific method. It's a serious problem.
I read Breakthrough and was not much of a fan of their proposals. Nonetheless, new thinking is needed, and open-mindedness to go with it.

There were a tiny number of 'protesters' and they made a fool of themselves by having a twitter page which was overwhelmed by scorn.
The impression in Britain is that these kids are from wealthy backgrounds, and this is just a silly, little hobby for them. Promoted by the Guardian, which was sponsored by Royal Dutch Shell (carbon trading) at the height of its mendacity world record attempt last year.

Quick, Yummy Thai w/ a Good Atmosphere – Kanlaya is a solidly good Thai restaurant where you the quality is worth your buck. Dishes are large enough to share family style but just the right size if you're hungry enough. I'm a fan of their Drunken Noodles and their curries. Their Pad Thai isn't the best in DC but still pretty good. Take advantage of their delivery, especially if you live in the surrounding area.
Great Thai restaurant in Chinatown. – The Drunken Noodles and Kee Mao Noodles are two good noodle dishes. Penang Curry is a pretty good curry dish.

Group champions consultation
Last updated at 10:16, Thursday, 22 November 2012
HE Renewable Energy sector group of Britain's Energy Coast Business Cluster (BECBC) is leading on the co-ordination of Cumbria's contribution to the latest green energy consultations from national government.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has issued three different consultations about its Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) schemes and Simon Sjenitzer, who leads the BECBC sector group, is encouraging member companies from across Cumbria to have their say and combine their voices.
"The Business Cluster is all about pooling our knowledge, sharing opportunities and lobbying," says Simon, "and there are encouraging signs with the tone and timing of these consultations that the government really is looking for constructive responses, ideas and inputs. It is vital that we make a contribution that shows the strength of feeling and the depth of knowledge and expertise on Britain's Energy Coast – by collating that feedback. I think we can have a much stronger voice and help to shape these policies for the future."
The consultations on RHI include the tariffs that government will offer to those installing and using green energy sources such as biomass boilers, solar thermal systems and air and ground source heat pumps and also the extension of RHI to community buildings, commercial and industrial customers as well as domestic homes. They aim to provide clarity for those considering investments and improve the OFGEM registration process for suppliers and scheme owners alike.
"These policies will have a big impact on the uptake of new technologies in the UK in the coming years," says Simon, "so it is vital that Cumbria's thriving renewables businesses have their say and make sure that they are heard in the debate around the details of how RHI will work.
"There will also be an impact for the construction sector and for community organisations and BECBC is proving a great forum for letting businesses know about the opportunities and then gathering our expertise to create a credible voice."
Details of the three RHI consultations are online at www.decc.gov.uk. Further details on how to contribute are also available from Simon via firstname.lastname@example.com or online at www.becbusinesscluster.co.uk.
