A week ago Sunday, a couple dozen people paid $40 each to go to a farm in Port Orchard, watch a pig die, butcher it, and then eat (parts of) it. Watching animals die (or killing them personally) is the latest trend for chefssee this New York Times piecebut this event, put on by Seattle's Culinary Communion, was open to the public.
The pig was named Hector and insistently referred to as such, even when very dead, a conceit I found precious. You don't name a ham. So, this is Hector:
After the break, a photo essay including a couple more shots of Hector and then plenty of The Pig Formerly Known as Hector. This is not for the squeamish.

I was concerned that this would be some kind of boutique foodie "experience," voyeuristic, self-indulgent, depraved. It was not. Gabriel Claycamp, the main man at Culinary Communion, ensured that it was absolutely respectful, and the participants were down-to-earth, very nice people.
(Interestingly, not that many showed up at the schmancy $55 dinner featuring pork from the pig at Culinary Communion the next night, which failed to sell out. Pig-killers and schmancy-dinner-goers: self-selective, somewhat mutually exclusive groups? Those who didn't attend the dinner were smart: It was the polar opposite of the farm experience, with no mud and lots of discussion of people's jobs as lawyers. Also, the pork loin was as dry as the conversation: tragic.)
A pretty wonderful temporary community was formed. (Though one couple that arrived post-slaughter never really joined it; they stood clinging to each other and drinking wine at a safe distance from the butchering and charcuterie. It seemed as if someone had taken a piece of chalk and tied it to the pig with a 20-foot piece of string and drawn a circle that they could not enter. They were at my table at the dinner.)
It was a real working farm, with nonpicturesque puddles and piles of stuff everywhere. Though this child, obviously, is as picturesque as it gets.
This goat kept trying to eat the hems of people's coats.
This child tried the mulled wine, which was, in fact, nearly undrinkably sour. (Yes, the kind of monsters that bring their children to watch animals die also let them have sips of alcohol.) I choked down a couple cups to steady my nerves before Claycamp shot the pig in the head.
Killing man and killing van: a professional who travels around and does the sawing-up, etc. (The rest of the breakdown, or butchering, was done by Claycamp and anyone who wanted to bring a knife and an apron and sign a release forma surprising number of people. Everyone also pitched in on the charcuterie, prepping the meat for curing and sausage and so forth. More of this below.) It was good to have this guy here. At a pig-killing carried out by a group of local chefs not too long ago, the winch that they'd set up themselves broke, letting the pig fall to the ground.
Hector and the hook of doom. He shook before he was killed, most likely due to the presence of a bunch of unfamiliar peoplean argument against this sort of thing.
Most of those in attendance had some experience with hunting or killing chickens on a farm or suchlike. It was a stoic crowd: I didn't see anyone besides me crying when the pig was shot, and I thought of my grandma, an Angus cattle rancher, and cut it out immediately.
I'd heard that the pig might scream horribly, but Claycamp (not a regular gun-shooter, looking pale and grave) got a very clean, close-range shot with a .22 after thanking everyone for coming "to celebrate the life and demise of Hector." The pig died having just eaten some melted ice cream, rice, and hamburger bun slop. Claycamp got kicked in the ear hard during the pig's (brief, silent) death throes. Revenge!
A family watches the pig die.
Bleeding the pig. It was much quicker than you'd thinkjust a moment or two. Salt was stirred into the blood so it wouldn't congeal and could be used for blood sausage.
The pig hoisted over the fence.
Singeing the hair off the pig. Often the whole carcass is plunged into boiling water, but this pig was too big: at 8 months old, 350 pounds (without blood and guts, estimated at 40 pounds). Oddly, the singeing did not smell bad.
Gabriel Claycamp's unfortunate hair.
More singeing and scraping. Someone said the pig looked like a crimini mushroom.
Guts. They all just fell out in a remarkably contained manner. No bad smell here, either.
Sawing the pig in half. The kids were front and center on the other side; everything about the whole day caused them pure, un-grossed-out fascination. Right about now, the saw-wielding man asked Claycamp, "You want me to saw through the head?" Before Claycamp could answer, a kid yelled, "YEEEEAAAAH!"
Breakdown. Claycamp explained every step. Completely absorbing. A whole new perspective on bacon, ham, guanciale, etc. Everyone kept saying that the texture of the meat was extraordinary, which it was: all jellylike, more akin to raw tuna than the meat one usually handles. And it was still warm.
Another Culinary Communion man.
Future butchers.
A band played and lunch was served, including some bits of the newly dead pig, which were delicious (most of it will become prosciutto and other meat products, available for purchase by participants only). It was cold so people didn't stick around long.
Overheard at the end:
"So are you going home a vegetarian?"
"Fuck no."

Lattice corneal dystrophy type 1
- Corneal dystrophy, lattice type 1
Your QuestionI was diagnosed with Fuch's dystrophy many years ago, but I think I may actually have lattice dystrophy. How can I find out for sure?
Our Answer
We have identified the following information that we hope you find helpful. If you still have questions, please contact us.
Questions on this page
What is Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy?
The early-onset form is very rare and is known as Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy 1 (or early-onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy) and it is caused by a change (mutation) in the COL8A2 gene. Late-onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophies are common and include:
- Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy 2 (caused by a mutation in an unknown gene located in chromosome 13)
- Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy 3 (may be caused by TCF4 gene mutations)
- Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy 4 (caused by a mutation in the SLC4A11 gene)
- Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy 5 (caused by a mutation in an unknown gene located in chromosome 15)
- Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy 6 (caused by a mutation in the ZEB1 gene)
- Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy 7 (caused by a mutation in an unknown gene located in chromosome 9)
- Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy 8 (caused by heterozygous mutation in the AGBL1 gene).
How is Fuchs corneal endothelial dystrophy diagnosed?
Additional tests that may be done include pachymetry to measure the thickness of the cornea, a specular microscope examination to look at the endothelium cells, and a visual acuity test.[1]Pachymetry is a good way of gauging the increase in corneal edema. The thickness can be compared with the new readings on subsequent visits. Increasing thickness of the cornea means increasing corneal endothelial decompensation. Presence of Descemet folds, epithelial bedewing, and corneal thickness of greater than 0.62 mm indicates potential decompensation.[2]
Lattice dystrophies are characterized by the build up of protein fibers (i.e., amyloid) in the stroma. Symptoms may include corneal erosions, decreased vision, photosensitivity, and eye pain.[3] Most cases of lattice dystrophy are caused by mutations in the TGFBI gene.[4][3]
Lattice dystrophy type 1 is the most common type of lattice dystrophy. It is characterized by fine rod-like glassy opacities (i.e., lattice lines) near the front of the stroma. The opacities often appear in the first or second decade of life and worsen over time. Recurrent corneal erosions are common, which may result in decreased vision, photosensitivity, and eye pain.[4] It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
How is lattice dystrophy type 1 diagnosed?
GeneTests.org lists a laboratory that is offering clinical genetic testing for this condition. In general, clinical genetic tests may be ordered to help diagnose a person or family, to confirm a diagnosis, and/or to aid in decisions regarding medical care or reproductive issues. We recommend that you talk to your health care provider or a genetic professional to learn more about your testing options, including the costs and benefits of testing.
How can I be sure my diagnosis of Fuchs' dystrophy is correct?

Patch file
I've attached a patch with two fixes: 1) Changed gmstrftime to strftime to honor localized timezone settings. 2) Small table template fix (missing colspan). Also included a plugin which allows the user to sort tables, based on jQuery and the tablesorter plugin. PS: many thanks for writing this great tool, it made our dev team very happy and it's working great :)
Patch file
Hello Joost,
Nice patches!
Patch 1: rejected, gmstrftime is used with the assumption that international open source projects and teams prefer an international time instead of the local one. If people feel that this is a problem and should be configurable, then I guess an option could be added for it :)
Patch 2: accepted, just modified the paths to be relative (some installations are not in the root)
Patch 3: README.md? Sounds like GitHub ;) There's already doc/README, so skipped.
Patch 4: accepted
Patch 6: accepted
Thank you for the patches and feedback, feel free to give more of both if necessary :)
Cheers! Num. 3 shouldn't have been there, sorry! Using that locally for the project overview (80 repo's, oops!).
I propose to do include patch 1, and then add a line to config.php: date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); Then it's easy for others to override in localconfig.php.
I accepted that as well, and added a config item "timezone":
commit 2ec6dad992bdf3db8445368b22858ca4f1f0db88
Author: Heikki Hokkanen <email@example.com>
Date: Sat Jan 21 14:14:09 2012 +0200
Set default timezone to UTC.
But I'm not entirely happy with this change. The timezone is not visible anywhere, so it might lead into potential confusement. But I guess it's mostly useful for local teams, as I commented in the config. If anyone has feedback about this, I'm all ears.
Thanks for all the patches Joost :)
Perfect, thanks a lot!

I have a laptop with Windows 7. Sometime ago, I tried to install Ubuntu using the cd and clicking the option "Install with Windows", however it never worked, never finished the installation. Now I am trying to install it again. I know how to make partitions and format them using Linux Command Line, but only with "empty" drives. Now, I have lots of information in my HD. When I insert the CD, Ubuntu displays the message "Multiple Operating Systems detected" which leads to two options: "Erase everything and install Ubuntu" or "Use the partition manager", when I see the manager I only see two partitions, one is very small (sda1 like 512 Mb) and the big one (sd2 = 318 Gb). As far as I know, I would need to erase Ubuntu's bootloader. My question is, How can I install Ubuntu using "Install with Windows" options instead of manually making partitions?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Mar 9 '12 at 4:33
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Best: Use Ubuntu in virtual box. What is your computer specifications? In the current scenario, you might risk loosing data so before you do anything, please make a backup of your drives. I'd suggest you provide us with screen shots so we can look at the problem in more detail. Thanks
You can use the wubi installer, which will let you install Ubuntu in and alongside Windows.

The person behind the building of a controversial mosque on a residential street said he is surprised by recent racist remarks made against his faith.
"We are not too familiar with racist actions in Brooklyn," said Allowey Ahmed, 60, who owns the property at 2812 Voorhies Avenue off East 29th Street and is spearheading the project.
"We've always thought this was a harmonious neighborhood and we never suffered here. The beautiful thing about America is we are all under the same umbrella of freedom," he added.
Ahmed, a Muslim immigrant from Yemen who has been living in Brooklyn for over 40 years, was responding to comments made at a recent Plumb Beach Civic Association (PBCA) meeting in which about six people who attended complained that they didn't want to live next to a mosque.
The proposed four-story mosque will include a community center and classrooms for the growing Muslim population in Sheepshead Bay.
The City's Department of Buildings has already rejected one set of plans from Ahmed, but he said he is resubmitting plans and can build as of right.
Ahmed also said he plans on meeting with the neighbors.
"We will meet with the community in time. We're really disappointed they are agitated. We enjoy so much freedom and life here and want to melt in like everyone else," he said, adding that local American-Muslims don't want a few extremists to represent them.
The complaints at the PBCA meeting ranged from residents fearing their property values would go down to their fears of having their children around the mosque, according to Community Board 15 Chair Theresa Scavo, who attended the meeting.
Their complaints sounded "racist" and no one sided with them because of it, said Scavo.
"We've got mosques on Coney Island Avenue and East 18th Street and we have never had a problem with either one of them," she added.
Scavo says that if critics where opposing the proposed mosque on the grounds that it would bring noise, congestion, she would go along with them - but not simply because they don't like the mosque.
"It's totally inappropriate," Scavo said. "It would be the same as saying there is a new church going up and I don't like it."
Local residents have also engaged inletter writing campaigns to local elected officials noting the block is filled with two-story houses and the proposed Mosque is set for four stories with a full basement.
They also expressed security concerns, citing the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and recent arrests and investigations of mosques around the country regarding terrorist activity.
City Council member Lew Fidler, who represents the block in question said there are legitimate concerns about building a structure of this type of type and size at this location, which is a completely residential block.
"We continue to check that they comply with the law. However, to make a decision that because this is a mosque and for no other reason that this will be a haven for hate or terror is over the top," said Fidler.
"People need to know the fact that every government agency is aware of the project and they will be made, like everybody else, to comply with the law," he added.

Since the late 1990s there have been two drivers of growth in STM and scholarly publishing: site licensing and global expansion. As successful as these activities have been, however, we appear to be nearing, if not a peak, at least a plateau.

The new strategic context of continuous operations renders obsolete the old Army readiness paradigm of "all ready, all the time." Continuous, full-spectrum expeditionary operations are the new reality. To meet this new strategic context, the Army is developing a process of force generation to provide combatant commanders and civil authorities with rapidly deployable, employable, and sustainable force capabilities packages tailored to specific mission requirements. Implementation of Army Force Generation cuts across the entire Army. While having a profound effect on operating forces, ARFORGEN processes also shape the ways the institutional base executes Title 10 and executive agent functions.
Army Force Generation leverages new unit designs and operational cycles to provide a sustained deployment posture of operationally ready units with less uncertainty. The process retains the capability to surge combat power for major combat operations. The ARFORGEN process allows commanders to identify predictable deployment windows and manage readiness and training of forces accordingly. These windows are based on the objective cyclic rotation rates of active and reserve component forces defined in July 9, 2003 Secretary of Defense memorandum goals: One operational deployment in three years for the active component, and one operational deployment in six years for the reserve component.
The ARFORGEN process creates operational readiness cycles where individual units increase their readiness over time, culminating in full mission readiness and availability to deploy. Manning, equipping, resourcing, and training processes are synchronized to the ARFORGEN process. To achieve the readiness progression required by operational readiness cycles, units transition through three ARFORGEN-defined readiness pools:
- Reset/Train Force Pool: Comprised of forces coming out of the Available force pool. Often units are recovering from previous deployments. Units are provided with replacements in manning, equipment, funding and training resources to achieve designated Reset/Train force pool unit capability levels. Unit mission is to reconstitute, reset equipment, receive new equipment, assign new personnel, and train to achieve the required unit capability level necessary to enter the Ready force pool. They are capable to immediately perform defense support to civil authority missions.
- Ready Force Pool: Units are assessed as ready to conduct mission preparation and higher level collective training with other operational headquarters for upcoming missions. Ready force pool units are eligible for sourcing, may be mobilized if required, and can be committed, if necessary, to meet operational (surge) requirements.
- Available Force Pool: The Available force pool includes those units immediately available to conduct mission execution. Active Component units are available for immediate deployment and Reserve Component units are available for alert/mobilization/required post-mobilization training and validation/deployment. Units will be sourced against operational (Deployed Expeditionary Force Package) or contingency (Contingency Expeditionary Force Package) requirements.
Within the Ready and Available force pools ARFORGEN task organizes units into Expeditionary Force Packages, providing targeted resourcing for units based on known, validated mission requirements. Through semi-annual ARFORGEN synchronization conferences modular-based Ready, Deployment, and Contingency Expeditionary Force Packages are designated and managed to corresponding readiness and resourcing metrics.
- Ready Expeditionary Forces (REF) conduct mission training and readiness activities/functions.
- Deployment Expeditionary Forces (DEF) are task organized to either execute planned operational requirements or are currently executing deployed missions.
- Contingency Expeditionary Forces (CEF) are remaining (not in DEF) Available force pool units that are task organized to meet operational plans and contingency requirements.
Like pieces of a puzzle, Army force generation processes are necessary complements to ensure that modular conversion, restructuring, and restationing initiatives achieve the Army's objective to be a campaign-quality, joint and expeditionary force. Army formations stationed at power projection installations are pooled into force packages under ARFORGEN to make expeditionary operations easier to plan and execute. Restructuring across the active and reserve components optimizes Army operating forces to the right capability packages for sustained operations. Generating force and business transformation efforts will simultaneously improve the Army's ability to man, train, and equip Army operating forces during a period of dwindling resources and heavy operational demand. Implementing these interlocking concepts will relieve stress on the force, provide time to train, create more predictable deployment schedules, and enable the Army to maintain a continuous supply of ready land power to combatant commanders and civil authorities.

Green Valley Ranch is a hotel and casino located in the Green Valley community in Henderson, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Station Casinos.[1]
The property offers 8 restaurants, a 50,000 sq ft (4,600 m2) casino, The Spa at Green Valley Ranch, and 490 guest rooms and suites. While a locals casino, the property was designed with an upscale element[2] and draws many out-of-town visitors.[3] The hotel is adjacent to The District, a mixed-use development.
On March 13, 2000, Station Casinos announced that they would build a resort-casino in the Green Valley neighborhood. The original expected cost of the project was to be $280 million.[4]
The District at Green Valley Ranch[edit]
The District at Green Valley Ranch was added as a multi-use project directly to the east of the resort in April 2004. The property includes retail stores and restaurants on the first level and luxury condominiums on the upper levels, as well as standalone restaurants and commercial office buildings. A second phase of the District was opened in August 2005, further to the east, and includes retail shops and commercial office space. The Perlman Design Group designed the project.
Film and television appearances[edit]
American Casino, a reality television series for the Discovery Channel and Travel Channel based on the daily tasks of various casino employees, was filmed here in 2004.[5][6]
Several episodes of the hit show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation were also filmed on site.[7]
Las Vegas, a few shots as exteriors of the Montecito Resort & Casino.
Rahman "Rock" Harper, the winner of the 2007 third season of Hell's Kitchen, was rewarded with a one-year contract as head chef at the resort's Terra Verde restaurant.[8]
The tomahawk steak was featured on the food network in early 2012 as well.

In my area I can't get scallops in their shells,so I used large scallops(16)I think the servings is off on this recipe.With doubling the recipe I ended up with 3 servings.2 scallops per person dosen't seem enough for a meal,maybe for a appetizer.I would cut the lemon juice in half,just my personal preference.
What a quick, simple and delicious meal. I skewered the scallops and they were just perfect. What a terrific addition to grilling. Thanks so much for the recipe.
I used 16 scallops and then used the remaining ingredients as written. Simple to make.

Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis play Adam and Barbara Maitland, two Connecticut yuppies who die prematurely in a car wreck. Within a couple weeks, their home is overrun by an ultra-trendy New York City family, Charles and Delia Deetz, and their Goth daughter, Lydia (played respectively by Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O'Hara, and Winona Ryder). Adam and Barbara want their house back, and attempt to scare the Deetz's out of the house by wearing sheets and even by possessing them over dinner, making them sing and dance to Harry Belafonte's "Day O." Those attempts fail and enter Michael Keaton as Betelguese, "the afterlife's leading freelance bio-exorcist." The movie is dark without being scary and funny without being ridiculous.
In my opinion, one of the real gems in this film is the late Sylvia Sidney as Juno, Your Case Worker. Sidney was pushing eighty when this film was made, but turns in a great performance as the embittered equivalent of an afterlife social worker. Love how the smoke from her ever-present cigarette comes out of the slit in her throat.
If you've never seen this movie, see it. If you have seen it but don't own it on DVD, get it. The picture quality is better than ever.
The casting for this movie is perfect, with only Alec Baldwin's performance less than memorable. Michael Keaton is suitably slimy and decadent, while Geena Davis plays the earnest innocence of her character equally well. The most startling performance is a young Winona Ryder, who shows tremendous range in her role as the morbid but good-hearted Lydia.
One of the most hilarious, dark scenes ever filmed is contained in this movie, when the New York couple throws a pretentious dinner party and the Maitlands take over. Director Tim Burton uses sight gags, situational comedy, and one-liners that all bear his trademark quirkiness to make this film inventive and, even years after its release, fresh. What's most amazing in this film essentially about the weirdness of being dead is the emotional drive of it.Read more ›

This DVD does NOT come with a bonus CD sampler as shown in the pictures. It also doesn't come with a slip cover as shown in the pictures either. The movie itself is very good with a nice clear picture and great sound. I have the original VHS but wanted this as well for the reason stated above.
If you plan on purchasing this item be aware the version you get might not be the one listed in the picture.
Since the inception of the DVD format, I have been waiting for a proper DVD of Beetlejuice with commentary and special features.
I am sorry to say that this pathetic disc is NOT what I have been waiting for.
Though they supposedly have spruced up the picture, the ONLY special features are three Beetlejuice cartoons and I think some music track or something.
NO commentary, NO behind-the-scenes, NO nothing.
So -- NO sale.
I'm still waiting...
Of all of the DVDs in my collection this has to be one of the most disappointing. Without going into minute detail of what makes the film brilliant- the classic score, the hilarious comedy and Burton's twisted but brilliant vision- the quality of the film transfer to DVD is almost criminal. It probably wouldn't be noticed on television screens smaller than 27 inches, but on larger screens the picture becomes soft and grainy, devoid of detail and utterly perplexing, given that the movie was shot in the late 80's. The first thought that sprang to my mind when watching it was that it almost immediately reminded me of my time in elementary school before we switched to video tape- the transfer is reminiscent of an old, battered 8mm film reel. I own a S-VHS vcr, and I have seen better film transfers on video tape. Additionally, the extras... well, what extras? There are several paragraphs of "production notes" which are basically brief overviews of Danny Elfman and Tim Burton, but nothing you couldn't gleam from Wikipedia in three minutes.
All that aside, I did pay $9 for it at Sam's Club, so the old axiom of getting what you pay for is truer than ever- but I expected so much more. If you're a Beetlejuice fan, wait for the inevitable Criterion Collection or Special Edition remaster.

EEA Study on F-gases Reports Falling Net Supply, Increasing Imports [viewed]
29 September 2014: A report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) shows that, in 2013, the net supply of fluorinated gases (F-gases) in the EU fell by 1.4% measured in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). While production of the gases decreased, imports increased by 12%. An EU regulation on F-gases, applied from 2015 onwards, will aim to reduce related emissions by two-thirds from 2010 levels, by 2030.

Dolphin Love by faegatekeeperWatch
©2011-2016 faegatekeeper
Here are some new friends I met while I was in the Carribean this year.
LOVE it!!!!!
Very cute dolphin pic ! Any chance the friend you went with on the cruise snapped a pic of you on the dolphin ride you mentioned ? That would be pretty awesome to see .. or maybe you can do a digital drawing type pic of it instead
Oh sure! I may not post it here but I can certainly email it to you if you would like
okay so in your poll I chose intelligence as the the reason I like dolphins but seriously hun, this is ADORABLE...
Cute pair!
Did you get a chance to interact with them at all? Dolphins are great!
I definitely did. It was one of the best experiences of my life for sure
Cool! Got to do a dolphin encounter in Nassau some years back- it's amazing how strong and how gentle they are. One of the handlers had us feed them- by dangling a fish from our mouths! It's cool and a little nervous-making to have 800# of cetacean pop up nose to nose with you and pluck a fish only a little bigger than your hand from the center of your face...
very cute
so adorable tehe i love dolphins

Hundreds of volunteers help clean up muddy mess from flooding in Santa Clara
'They're just coming from all over the place to help'
"Got an email from the bishop, said go do what you can, so here we are," she said. "My heart just breaks. It's amazing what that water can do. I'm just happy to be here. I hope they would do the same for me if I was in the same situation."
Robert Lybert, from Alberta, Canada, was on vacation visiting his uncle in St. George when they heard what was happening.
"My uncle said, ''You wanna go?' and I said, 'Sure,'" said Lybert, who was caked in dried mud and trying to stay cool under southern Utah's warm sunshine. "Cause if I had this happen to me, I'd hope someone would show up, so I figured I'd show up."
Susan Broberg, a single mother of two children, said her basement was gutted. Without the help from the community, she said she doesn't know what she would have done.
"I tell ya, I've been amazed. Last night, I was just in that shocked state and I don't even know what to do. And there are people here and they just started working, and it was incredible. And today, people have been here willing to do anything. That's been amazing. I couldn't have don't anything (without them)," she said.
"I don't know why they came, they just came."
A gift of food
Local businesses donated pizza, food, water, Gatorade and other items to homeowners and volunteers. The Washington County Sheriff's Office drove around with a pickup truck of supplies to every house in the affected neighborhoods to make sure they had what they needed. Several residents said employees from Home Depot were sent into the neighborhoods at 7 a.m. to help shovel mud.
Within the first 24 hours of the disaster, Rosenberg estimated that 2,000 different people had volunteered to help, with 600 working at any given time.
Late Wednesday afternoon, dozens of Desert Hills High School students were bused to the neighborhood to offer their help. The students were members of the school's football team and the girls soccer team.
Many of the damaged homes did not have flood insurance, the mayor said. But he noted it wouldn't have mattered in most cases because the floods were in the basements. He said the city plans to initiate a private relief effort to raise funds for restoration and recovery, as it did following the floods in 2005.
Some affected homeowners were expected to be back to almost normal by the end of the week.
"In a couple of days they'll be pretty well back where they can start looking back in," Rosenberg said. "For several of 'em, it'll be weeks. And there are several (homes) that will need to be condemned and torn down."
A damage total was still being calculated Wednesday. Rosenberg said the important thing is there were no reported injuries.
As for rebidding the dike, "The city is going to have to, in my opinion. This is a retention basin that has been there since 1919, and so the town has kind of developed and grown around and below the retention basin," the mayor said.
Within the past six months, Washington County established a Flood Control Authority, he said. The group had identified 10 projects countywide to work on, with Laub Pond being one of them. The problem was figuring out how to upgrade the system and how to pay for it — something Rosenberg said would be looked at again once the mud is cleaned up.

I have a windows domain environment and it contains only Server 2008 Os's. I'm trying to execute a script or a program from 1 server on multiple servers, but I can't configure or install any applications. I was trying to user powershell v2.0 (invoke-command) but its not configured and I cant configure it. I'm looking for an alternative maybe WMI. Psexec and rcmd are not installed on any servers. Any advise could help a lot.
How about copying a script to each machine and adding a scheduled task that executes it?
Also, psexec does not require a remote install. Some information from PsExec - Execute processes on a remote system and redirect output to the local system (Windows IT Pro):

Energy efficiency can enable the use of cleaner energy resources, but there are some situations in which the interaction is more complex (as I noted earlier.) Let's take a look at one instance in which they work together well, one instance in which policy alters this relationship, and one area that I'm starting to explore. Read more >
Coupling Efficiency and Cleaner Energy: Energy Efficiency, Part 3

In Michigan, Renewable Energy and Efficiency Take a Hit in Proposed Legislation
November 12, 2015 4:46 PM EDT
After years of analysis and public input, months of hearings, and now weeks of political maneuvering, Michigan took a small step towards overhauling its energy policy last week when the House Energy Policy Committee approved its legislative proposal. Unfortunately, "E" for effort doesn't cut it, and the proposal on the table falls short of what's best for Michigan. The end result of this proposal would slow development of Michigan's renewable energy and energy efficiency resources and do little to ensure the state achieves Governor Snyder's goal of 40 percent of Michigan's energy demand from renewables and efficiency by 2025.

What is the Rebound Effect? — Energy Efficiency, Part 2
November 5, 2015 10:44 AM EDT
In my previous post, I noted that energy efficiency by itself does not necessarily reduce emissions, but it does give us the resources to clean up our energy supply. One complicating factor in projecting energy savings from efficiency is the "rebound effect." Here's what it is, how it works, and what it means for efficiency. Read more >
Hurricanes Sandy, Katrina, and the Growing Risks of Storm Surge and Blackouts
October 27, 2015 1:00 PM EDT
Superstorm Sandy was a big wake-up call for the Northeast when it made landfall near Atlantic City, NJ, on October 29, 2012. In addition to the tragic loss of lives and property, Sandy caused billions of dollars of damages and left more than 8 million people in 21 states without power. On the third anniversary of Sandy, a new UCS analysis looks at what steps have been taken to make our electricity grid less vulnerable and more resilient to power outages from storm surge and coastal flooding on the East and Gulf Coasts. The answer? Some, but not enough. Read more >
Energy Efficiency, Part 1: What's the Point?
October 23, 2015 10:50 AM EDT
Can energy efficiency actually increase energy use? In some circumstances, it can. But is that a problem? It might be, if "using less energy" was our end goal—but it shouldn't be. Read more >

Breaking Out: VMI and the Coming of Womenby Laura Fairchild Brodie

On July 26, 1996, the United States Supreme Court nullified the single-sex admissions policy of the Virginia Military Institute, the last all-male military college in America. Capturing the voices of female and male cadets, administrators, faculty, and alumni, Laura Brodie tells the story of the Institute's intense planning for the inclusion of women and the problems and triumphs of the first year of coeducation.
Brodie takes us into the meetings where every aspect of life at VMI was analyzed from the per-spective of a woman's presence: housing, clothing, haircuts, dating, and the infamous "Ratline"—the months of physical exertion, minimal sleep, and verbal harassment to which entering cadets are subjected. Throughout the process the administration's aim was to integrate women successfully without making adjustments to VMI's physical standards or giving up its tradition of education under extreme stress.
No other military college had done so much to prepare. But would it work? With everyone on the Post, we hold our breath as Brodie takes us through Hell Night, the unrelenting months of the Ratline, the fraternization, hazing, and authority issues that arose, the furtive sexual encounters, the resentments and, for the women, the daily difficulties of maintaining a feminine identity in a predominantly male world. Despite the challenges, we see the women ultimately making a place for themselves. Though new problems continue to arise, Brodie's lively and inspiring account makes it clear that VMI's story is an important and timely one of institutional transformation.

Read an Excerpt
I am the band director's wife.
At first glance, that might seem irrelevant. This is not a book about snare drums and spit valves and John Philip Sousa. What lies ahead is an insider's view of a deliberately anachronistic Southern institution confronting the facts of sexual equality in the twenty-first century. More specifically, this is the story of the Virginia Military Institute, and the internal challenges it faced as it relinquished its status as the last all-male military college in the United States. The key players are a group of young women tackling a male-oriented system of education, and a community of administrators, alumni, faculty, and male cadets, all struggling to integrate women into their world, on their terms.
Why does my own background matter? Because no one can talk about VMI without getting personal. In the seven years that the Institute spent waging a legal war to defend its males-only admissions policy, neutrality was a luxury few could afford. The issues were too emotional, too inflammatory. Should women be at VMI? How far should our nation's military colleges, as well as the armed services, go to accommodate women? What does equality between the sexes really mean when translated into practical terms?
Answers to these questions depend on each individual's perspective. Are you a man or a woman? Were you born and bred in Virginia? Are you a Yankee? Have you ever fought in a war? What do you know about military training? Have you ever seen VMI? The questions quickly become accusations.
I come to this story with as much personal baggage as any human being. My biases are all the more relevant because I was not only a witness to, but an occasional participant in, several of the events at hand-joining in committee debates, mingling at cocktail parties, teaching English to the last all-male "rat mass" in VMI's history. In the pages that follow I will occasionally metamorphose from narrator to character, Jekyll to Hyde, stepping out of the shadows to provide a more intimate, first-person view. To make that view clear, an introduction is necessary.
And so, as I was saying, I am the band director's wife.
I am also a doctor of English literature, a part-time professor, a full-time mother. But for my present purposes, these facts are secondary. What matters is that for the past ten years I have attended every Parents' Weekend concert at VMI. I have traveled with the band to Paris, to New York, to Mardi Gras in New Orleans (imagine thirty-eight hours round-trip on a bus with fifty cadets). I have watched VMI's Corps march in full regalia at dozens of Friday afternoon parades, framed on the left by the flat peak of House Mountain, and on the right by the early twilight reflected in the windows of the barracks. I have sat within ear-splitting distance of the VMI pep band at basketball and football games, cheering for the "Keydets," and I once spent $120 on a long white dress and a pair of elbow-length gloves, so that I could stand next to my husband underneath a giant replica of the VMI Class Ring, as he was dubbed an honorary member of the Class of 1992.
In other words, I am a member of the VMI Family.
Many colleges use a family metaphor to describe the relations among students, faculty, alumni, parents, and staff, but few take the metaphor as seriously as VMI. One former VMI official used to invoke the Family so often -- "We must communicate with the Family," "The Family will not like this" -- that a conversation with him felt like a scene from The Stepford Wives.
At VMI, "Family" is a literal term. Many of the cadets are sons, grandsons, nephews, or cousins of former graduates. Most of the administrators are alumni, as are many of the professors. In 1995 the Dean of the Faculty distributed a memo stating that VMI's faculty needed to hire more women, more minorities, and more alumni (none of whom were women, and few of whom were minorities). The memo confirmed a larger institutional belief that only those who have lived through VMI's system can understand it. VMI is a cloistered society, full of private rituals, complex rules, and a language of confusing acronyms. It can take months to distinguish between the EC, the GC, SRC, and the VFT. It can take years to fathom why any college freshman would voluntarily submit to VMI's seven-month system of daily abuse known as the "ratline."
Hand-in-hand with this elusive spirit comes a wariness toward outsiders. During its long road to the Supreme Court, VMI was often vilified by commentators whose knowledge of the school was superficial. As a result, the Institute began to circle its wagons even tighter.
Without some status as a VMI insider, I would never have been allowed to research this book. The last female intellectual whom VMI welcomed into its fold was an anthropologist who impressed a few administrators with her tribal interpretations of the school's muddiest rituals. But as the court case neared completion, this short-term visitor to the Post was touted in the papers as an expert on VMI, espousing a viewpoint so full of doubts that the Commandant, who had befriended her, thought "Never again." Indeed, anyone who has ever read Susan Faludi's scathing critique of The Citadel ["The Naked Citadel," The New Yorker, September 5, 1994.] might wonder why any military college would allow a feminist writer into its midst.
And I am a feminist. Not a man-hater, not a witch, not an inflexible opponent of all things patriarchal, but a supporter of a society equally fair to its mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters. I intentionally described myself as "feminist" in a letter submitted to VMI's Superintendent, Major General Josiah S. Bunting III, shortly after the Supreme Court ruled against VMI, when I sought his permission to undertake an oral history of the Institute's transition to coeducation. I knew that the word triggers alarm bells in the minds of most VMI officials. Bunting, however, did not flinch. Instead, he invited me to join his committee on coeducation, adding "You have read Carol Gilligan, haven't you?" Apparently Bunting thought it would be useful to have someone with a knowledge of women's studies joining the debate, someone who knew Gilligan's theories about the self-esteem problems among female adolescents. Not to mention the fact that my presence on the committee would double the number of women in the room. Bunting did not seem fazed by the knowledge that the person now chronicling VMI's actions would be coming from a feminist background. After all, I was Mrs. Brodie. I was the band director's wife.
I mention my ideological background for two reasons: to lay my cards on the table and to emphasize that what follows is not a piece of propaganda for VMI. Despite my ties to the Institute, my husband's occasional refrain of "please don't get me fired," my fondness for most of the people involved (believe it or not, VMI is filled with well-intentioned, intelligent, likable people), my role has always been that of a concerned skeptic, committed to honesty, not adulation.
Like most people who are well acquainted with VMI, I have spent my moments loathing the place. But I have also witnessed events that were fascinating, funny, and admirable. None more admirable than the manner in which hundreds of people on VMI's Post -- from cadets, to faculty, to laundry workers -- all came together to prepare for the arrival of women. Many did not agree with the Supreme Court's ruling that nullified the Institute's single-sex admissions policy. Many feared that the mixture of women and men in VMI's barracks would be explosive. But the vast majority determined to try their best to make coeducation work. This book is about them. In keeping with my original plans for an oral history, the narrative that follows is filled with the voices of administrators, cadets, and faculty. Their stories and opinions color the first half, which covers VMI's year of planning for coeducation, and they are especially predominant in the second half, which looks at the women's first year at VMI.
The pages ahead provide only the opening chapters in an ongoing story. Whether VMI's transition to coeducation will ultimately result in success or scandal, whether its first female graduates will look back on their alma mater with devotion or disillusionment, will remain for the future to determine. However, the first act in this drama has been played out. The role of this book is to offer a window into an unusual institutional culture, to describe what was involved in bringing women into that culture, and to survey some of VMI's earliest responses to a new era in its history.
When Lieutenant General Winfield S. Scott, former Superintendent of the Air Force Academy, visited VMI in the spring of 1997, he declared that no other military college had done so much to prepare for the arrival of women. At the same time, no other military college planned to do so little to alter its system. In its determination to offer women the same harsh model of physical and mental stress applied to men, VMI became a case study in higher education and a microcosm for national debate about men and women, single- and dual-sex military training, and the benefits and drawbacks of tradition and change.
These are the issues that drive the narrative that follows, but to approach them we must first survey VMI's history. For it is the culture of VMI that will dominate the pages ahead, and to appreciate the Institute's present, you must know something about its past.
Let us go then, you and I, to the place where I take all visitors who come to Lexington, Virginia -- the doors of Jackson Memorial Hall, at the center of VMI's Post.

What People are saying about this
An impressive stufy of women's integration into a totally masculine culture, which demonstrates the complexities of gender interactions and the ability of young men and women to rise above sexism and stereotyping to form a cohesive group...Brodie is a fine writer, sensitive to nuances, and fair to every side in the debates.
Brodie tells her story with a light touch and an eye for telling detail. Future historians will be in her debt.
A fascinating and highly readable story filled with striking insights into American gender roles and revolutions at the end of the twentieth century. Brodie's book does a wonderful job of demonstrating the pressures for both continuity and change.
In Laura Brodie's riveting account, the details of women's admittance to VMI -- the debates over hair length, the definition of sexual harassment, the installation of toilet doors, the number of pull-ups required for physical fitness -- become suspense-filled dramas. Her close-to-the-ground descriptions evoke the epic quality of institutional life, revealing the ennobling and the horrifying aspects of male military culture. To this amazing world Brodie is an excellent guide. Once you open it, her book is hard to put down.
Ms. Brodie's book gives readers a ringside seat during the "fight" to integrate women into the VMI Ratline. This is an important book that looks at difficult issues from all sides. In the end, the VMI approach to integrating women into the Corps will stand the test of time as a model.
A compelling and fair-minded account of the preparation for, and first year of, coeducation at VMI....The story is gripping. Will VMI be changed by coeducation, and if so how? Brodie makes us care. She has created a page-turner.

The details at Clear Water Auto Spa serve two purposes: remove past blemishes and prevent future damage. The former is accomplished by hand scrubbing the exterior, shampooing the seats, and vacuuming windshield dice off the floors. Once the car is clean, the technicians take it a step further by applying Teflon wax and clear-coat sealant to the finish and Scotchgard to the interior to build a protective layer against future contaminants. Paintless dent removal and paint touchups further elevate cars' resale value and cosmetic appeal.

Hello all! I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that if you may notice some strange things happening at Perilously Pale. I will be switching web hosting services (and FINALLY switching from Blogger to Wordpress. Yay!) so there will likely be a fair chunk of time where some of you arrive at the new site and some of you arrive at the old blogger site until the DNS servers have completely switched over in 24-48 hours. Hopefully it will be worth the wait for you. I am undergoing A LOT of changes to try and make things
I am sorry to say that I will be taking somewhat of a hiatus. I am still going to do my best to get some content posted but our computer died on Saturday and until we replace it my hands are a bit tied. Thank goodness for my iPhone as I could not handle being completely cut off! Hopefully I will be up and running again soon but if you are aware of my personal situation at the moment you will know that having to purchase a new computer could not have come at a worse time. That makes deciding just what kind of investment to make all
I hope you are all enjoying a safe and happy holiday with your loved ones.
I just wanted to to give my beautiful readers a little heads up. The quantity of posts on Perilously Pale is going to slow down quite a bit over the coming two weeks. With the holidays and very stressful and traumatic events going on in my personal life right now I'm having a bit of a hard time keeping up. I promise to be back in full force and better than ever in the New Year. Thank you all for your support! xo Christa
Well… I'm starting a blog. Not because I think I have anything special to share with the world but for two rather personal reasons. For one, I'd like to have a sort of personal diary of looks that I've tried so that I remember what I liked and didn't like. It drives me crazy when I've had a day where I think "hmm not too shabby" and then when I go to recreate it I have no idea what I used. The other, and most important reason, is as a source of swatches for others out there in need like myself. I live in the country and because I
