By doing so, California Vegetable Specialties can avoid the higher-priced Pacific Gas & Electric peak electricity rates.
The walls are composed of two layers of foam panels, between which expanding polyurethane foam is injected.
Then about 3 inches of concrete is applied to both sides of the wall.
Not only does this help maintain more stable humidity and temperature inside, but it also has a lifespan of at least 200 years and an earthquake seismic rating similar to those of police departments and hospitals, Burda said.
Concrete envelope design isn't new and has been used since 1994 on a handful of wineries, Burda said. In those structures, straw bales provided about R-87 insulation.
This is the first time foam has been used, "and it worked like a charm," he said.
The energy savings will pay off the building in about 15 years, Burda said.

Now as for your lousy statment..about his suspect chin
Here is my analogy for that. Again, this is all opininions, so you have yours, I have mine, but somewhere to take decent intelligent dialogue people have to have accepted basics, or norms. In this case a suspect Chin.
We may suspect one of having a suspect chin, but if the fighter goes 45 fights with only being knocked down once, and he got up, handled the knockdown like a professional and went on to dominate the fight, and fought naturally at middleweight, then moved up to super middle, lightheavy and then fought a heavy who out weighed him by 30 pounds at least, and took his shots too, no knockdowns etc... But yet and still we say "WITHOUT ANY FACTUAL EVIDENCE, AND BECAUSE WE SIMPLY SUSPECT THIS" that Roy always had a suspect chin, and had nothing to do with his losing muscle rapidly (contrary to what hawk or anyone says he did lose at least 15 pounds muscle rapidly), even though all of a sudden one of the most gifted athletes ever and best conditioned, a athlete who previously played ina semi pro basketball game the same day as having a championship fight..all of a sudden for the first time ever is having issues with Stamina. Then he gets knocked out twice in a row. This same fighter never is able to put punches together again in the manner of Old Roy, never has the instincts again, looks slow and average...But somehow his suspect chin and skills diminishing has nothing to do with what happened after the Ruiz Fight. Wow.......Lets instead of saying haterism..lets say hmmm it is being Wow..I dont know what to call it.
I guess we can say that since Roy had a suspect chin, even though he was never seriously hurt before he turned 34 and had the issues with moving from heavyweight to lightheavy.. I guess we can use the same analog and say Ali was not all that good, he just never met anyone that could be him. Or Duran was not that great at lightweight he just never faced good fighters that would expose him... Leonard was not that fast, he just never faced anyone faster than him. Same thing Roy chin was suspect he just never met anyone the hurt him seriously.
Not making anysense. You can say the same thing for anyfighter. Roy freakin moved up and fought fighters who weighed 160 to 223,,and hmmm how many stoppages did he have until he had to lose weight rapidly?

PROJECT NAME: CARIBOU NO. 2 60kV RECONDUCTORING PROJECT,
Proposed Project: In order to provide reliable transmission service and to reduce the risk of outages in its service area, PG&E proposes to replace the existing aged and deteriorated conductor with a new conductor (replacement of existing facilities) along an approximate seven-mile segment of its existing Caribou No. 2 60kV Power Line (existing easement) in Plumas County. The project is located immediately northeast of the community of Belden along Caribou Road (north of State Highway 70) in the North Fork Feather River Canyon. This segment of power line is located almost exclusively within the Plumas National Forest and has recreation areas (campgrounds) sparsely located along the alignment. The existing conductor will be replaced with a conductor meeting current standards; to support the new conductor, existing wood poles will be replaced with light-duty, self-weathering steel poles that resemble wood poles in appearance but are not susceptible to fire or woodpecker damage (replacement of existing facilities). Approximately 181 wood poles will be replaced with light-duty steel poles that will be no more than approximately ten feet taller than existing to provide required line clearance over roadways, other power lines, and ground/vegetation along the pole line. Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2011, or as soon as possible thereafter, with work expected to be completed by December 2011, or as soon as
possible after project initiation.
Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF): Pacific Gas and Electric Company will employ "no cost" and specified "low cost" measures to reduce public exposure to EMF in accordance with California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision 06-01-042 and Pacific Gas and Electric Company's "EMF Design Guidelines for Electrical Facilities." The following measures are proposed for this project:
¥ Because there are no EMF mitigation measures available on this project that would meet the CPUC's benchmark of 4% or less of the total project cost, no "no cost" or "low cost" measures will be employed.
Exemption from CPUC Permit Requirement: CPUC General Order 131-D, Section III.B.1, exempts projects meeting specific conditions from the CPUC's requirement to file an application requesting authority to construct. Pacific Gas and Electric Company believes this project qualifies for the following exemption(s):
b. The replacement of existing power line facilities or supporting structures with equivalent facilities or structures.
g. Power line facilities or substations to be located in an existing franchise, road-widening setback easement, or public utility easement; or in a utility corridor designated, precisely mapped and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies for which a final Negative Declaration or EIR finds no significant unavoidable environmental impacts.
Public Review Process: Persons or groups may protest the proposed construction if they believe that Pacific Gas and Electric Company has incorrectly applied for an exemption or that the conditions set out in Section III.B.2 of General Order 131-D exist;
a. There is reasonable possibility that the activity may have an impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies; or
b. The cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time, is significant; or
c. There is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
Protests should include the following:
1. Your name, mailing address and daytime telephone number.
2. Reference to the CPUC Advice Letter Number and Project Name.
3. A clear description of the reason for the protest.
4. Whether you believe that evidentiary hearings are necessary to resolve factual disputes.
Protests for this project must be filed by December 14, 2010, at the following address:
CPUC Energy Division
Attn: Tariff Unit, 4th Floor
California Public Utilities Commission
505 Van Ness Avenue
San Francisco, California 94102
With a copy mailed to:
David Kraska, Law Department
Pacific Gas and Electric Company
P.O. Box 7442
Pacific Gas and Electric Company must respond within five business days of receipt and serve copies of its response on each protestant and the Energy Division. Within 30 days after Pacific Gas and Electric Company has submitted its response, the Executive Director of the CPUC will send you a copy of an Executive Resolution granting or denying the request and stating the reasons for the decision.
Assistance in Filing a Protest: For assistance in filing a protest, contact the CPUC Public Advisor in San Francisco at (415) 703-2074 or 1-866-849-8390 (toll-free) or TTY (415) 703-5258 or email@example.com.

Hi all, relative noob here.
For four months now I've been running snow leo 10.6.1 on an eeepc 1005HA, installed using this tutorial: Lenovo IdeaPad S Series Forum • View topic - Asus 1008HA with Snow Leopard Fresh Installation (Updated)
In my experience the system has a 50/50 chance of freezing up when an external monitor (extended desktop) is attached; one has to then manually reboot the netbook before trying to attach the monitor again.
However, today when I attached an external monitor and the system froze, after booting the system now displays an infinite light-blue screen/pinwheel/dark-blue screen loop.
I've tried booting with -x, -f, -v, -s.
Nothing found using /sbin/fsck -y.
No discernible problems..the gray apple screen loads, but then the blue screen/pinwheel loop follows. It seems that the system keeps 'refreshing' the internal display.
Could any kexts have been affected somehow?
I'm not sure how next to proceed. Any help would be much appreciated.

A Scuba Divers Dream
In the 500 years since Christopher Columbus was blown off course en route to Hispaniola and landed on The Cayman Islands, this beautiful setting has changed dramatically in some ways, and not at all in others. No longer inhabited solely by turtles, large lizards and other wildlife, the Caymans have nonetheless retained much of their native beauty.
Christopher Columbus discovered the Cayman Islands in 1503. He named the islands Las Tortugas because of the abundance of turtles that inhabited the nearby waters. By 1530, the islands were being called the "Caymanas", which derived from a Carib Indian name for crocodiles, who were known to be abundant around Cayman Island beaches at the time.
Residents of The Caymans enjoy the highest standard of living in the Caribbean. As you'll discover on your Cayman Island vacation, instead of casinos, fevered nightlife, and crime, Caymanians live in a stable community where education is highly valued, and readily available. Generations of Caymanians have passed down music, folklore, rich customs and even a lilting "sing-song" dialect that survives today.
The Cayman Islands consists of three islands, with Grand Cayman being the largest, and most developed. The two Sister Islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, lie approximately 89 miles east-northeast of Grand Cayman and are separated from each other by a channel about seven miles wide.
The beauty of Cayman Islands above and below the waves, the sunny climate and friendly people make these islands a natural dive vacation destination.

It's been a while since I've included reader comments and questions. So that's where we'll start this week.
Cynthia writes: "I'm confused as to why the TV viewer hasn't heard more about Craig Wolf and his firing from NBC-2. I know that the powers that be have no obligation to say why he was fired but doesn't the public who liked Wolf deserve some semblance of an explanation? I'm amazed the reason for his firing hasn't leaked out from some staff member at NBC-2. This can only lead to speculation that Craig did something unforgiveable. I read he was getting a lawyer to fight his firing and then I read no more. What are your thoughts? Shouldn't the TV viewer know about the personalities they watch, good or bad?"
Cynthia, first off, thank you for your question. I'm being honest with you, and I think speculation on our part is a complete waste of time.
I, too, feel as though we are owned an explanation. Why? Because these folks come into our living rooms. We are asked, even encouraged, to trust them. So when something like this happens, we can't help but wonder: Was our trust misplaced?
But let's also imagine how Wolf feels. Let's say, for argument's sake, that he did nary a thing wrong. All this speculation to the contrary is bound to hurt.
There's no reason why Waterman Broadcasting (the folks who operate NBC-2 and ABC-7) should tell us. For them, it's an internal matter. If they have good cause, privacy issues would prevent the company from sharing them with us. And if they didn't have good cause, well, who'd want to admit that?
Speaking to Wolf on Wednesday, exactly one hour and 51 minutes -- but who's counting – before his contract with NBC-2 was set to expire, the former anchor, who has been off the air since March 3, maintains he was wrongfully terminated. He also confirms he still has an attorney.
"Today was my last day," says Wolf, bringing a close to "17 years and 11 months" of employment with the company.
Beyond that, until his case is settled, you won't hear more from him. Any good attorney will tell you to keep your mouth shut when it comes to the media.
So does that mean once their dispute is settled, we'll know the answers? Not likely. Depending on the nature of the disagreement, either side could insist on a confidentiality clause.
Soap news
"All My Children" is getting a big sendoff. As we previously reported, the last episode airs Sept. 23. But before the final bow, get ready for two days of "AMC" all the time.
On Sept. 17 SOAPnet will broadcast an "I Love Lucci" marathon that includes five episodes, including one from 1979, centered on the life-changing moments of Erica Kane (Susan Lucci).
Then on Sept. 18, it's "All My Children: Last Chance for Romance" which will include seven episodes celebrating AMC's best couples.
In other soap news, the amazing Tamara Tunie of "Law & Order: SVU" will play a judge in an upcoming, albeit, short-lived role. Tunie is no stranger to the soap world; having once been a regular on "As The World Turns."
Also, fans of former "Days of Our Lives" actress Krista Allen, rejoice. She will guest-star on the freshman season of TNT's new drama "Perception," TVGuide.com reports.
"Perception" stars Eric McCormack, of "Will & Grace," as Dr. Daniel Pierce, an eccentric neuroscientist and university professor who helps the FBI solve complex criminal cases. Allen will play Allison Bannister, a wealthy alumna/widow who is a fan of Pierce's work.
Besides her work on Days, Allen is known for her roles in "Baywatch Hawaii," "The Starter Wife," "What About Brian?", "Liar Liar" and "Anger Management."
In sort-of-soap news, "Desperate Housewives," which begins its eighth and final season on ABC Sept. 25, may have another time jump in mind for residents of Wisteria Lane. As you'll recall, at the end of season 4 the show jumped five years.
TV Line reports that the finale may jump ahead few decades.
Color bars or static
Color bars to Simon Cowell, who says he wants to be frozen when he dies in a process known as cryonics. The idea is that he'll thaw in the future when medical technology is available to bring him back to life and treat whatever it is that ends the life of "The X Factor" head honcho.
"It's an insurance policy," Cowell tells GQ in the magazine's September issue.
Sign me up. Oh, wait. I'm broke.
"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. If it does work, I'll be happy. If it's possible, and I think it will be, why not have a second crack? Does that sound crazy? I think it's a good idea."
Cowell's "X Factor" premieres Sept. 21.
More color bars: These should make TV-watching little monsters happy: Lady Gaga has recorded a guest spot for an episode of "The Simpsons"! In "Lisa Goes Gaga," the singer makes a pit stop in Springfield after learning that it's teeming with low self-esteem, and winds up trying to cheer up a dejected Lisa through the power of speech, song, and a flash mob. Don't think we're dissing TV watchers; Lady GG affectionately calls her fans "little monsters."
Static: This is to all the cable channels out there that must rerun every special that they have ever produced on 9/11. Call me supersensitive, but while I may watch "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" every Christmas, I think reliving this for a month or two prior to the anniversary is just downright painful. So count me out.
Have a question for me? Want to award your own colors bars or static? Send them all to email@example.com.
Until next time, stay tuned – mostly to local news ...

Don't believe a Columbine kind of tragedy couldn't happen herePosted Friday, April 17, 2009, at 2:37 PM
Monday is the 10th-year anniversary of the Columbine (Col.) High School shooting massacre -- an event that has touched every school district in Greene County and around the state of Indiana.
On April 20, 1999, in the small, suburban town of Littleton, Col., two high school seniors, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, enacted a planned out all-out assault on Columbine High School during the middle of the school day.
The plan was to kill hundreds of their school peers. With guns, knives, and a multitude of bombs, the two boys walked the hallways and killed at random.
When the day was done, 12 students, one teacher, and the two murderers were dead.
What a tragedy.
It was the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.
I was a news reporter then and remember writing about the horror and how it related to all of us back home in Greene County.
Parents, administrators and law enforcement officials in our local school districts feared there would be "copycat" attacks carried out in their own schools.
Greene County Emergency Management Director Roger Axe studied this horrible crime and worked with school superintendents and faculty in the five county school districts to take precautions and helped draw up safety plans that laid out a course of action in the event a tragedy like this would ever happen here.
That work is ongoing.
In fact, the Greene County School Safety Commission met Thursday night at Bloomfield High School and received an update from Indiana State Trooper Monte McKee, who works through the Indiana Homeland Security Department.
The Commission includes representatives from the five county schools, law enforcement as well as fire and emergency responders.
Years ago, I remember Roger telling me in a very serious tone "it could happen here."
In a 2004 story, I quoted Axe as saying:
"It can absolutely happen here. We have all of the ingredients."
Among the contributing factors, according to Axe, is the accessibility and social acceptance of guns in the Greene County community as a whole.
"We have all of the ingredients for a Columbine. We have the availability of firearms. It's a part of our culture and way of life around here."
The EMA director also said, "School safety has been a mission of mine for years -- even before the Columbine shootings," Axe said. "Our youngsters are a precious resource and need to be protected the best way we know how."
I also remember attending a state Emergency Management services conference in Indianapolis with Roger about a year after the Columbine shooting. One of the guest speakers was John Stone, who was the Jefferson County Sheriff -- where Columbine High is located.
The state conference brought together law enforcement, ambulance service, and fire department first responders along with supporting agencies high level briefings, educational training sessions and discussions on school safety issues.
Sheriff Stone said Klebold and Harris were angry teenagers. They were angry at athletes that made fun of them.
They didn't like Christians or blacks.
They hated everyone except for a handful of people.
Evidence of this hate is etched on the front page of Harris' journal that was confiscated by police after the shootings.
He wrote: "I hate the f...... world."
He also wrote that he hated racists, martial arts experts, and people who brag about their cars.
It appears both Klebold and Harris were serious about acting out on this hate.
As early as spring 1998, they wrote about killing and retaliation in each other's yearbooks -- drawing an image of a man standing with a gun, surrounded by dead bodies.
The high school students used the Internet to find recipes for pipe bombs and other explosives. They amassed an deadly arsenal, which included guns, knives, and 99 explosive devices.
It's a sad story that touched so many people.
Let's never forget that day and always remember that it could happen here.
Columbine High never thought such acts would occur in their building and there have been other shootings in other schools and universities and they didn't think it would happen there either.
Will the threat of such a Columbine-like attack every go completely away?
I doubt it.
Thank God, Greene County has been spared that kind of violence.
With the help of Axe, school officials, teachers, parents and the students we have made progress in our schools to make them safer in the last 10 years.
We must be vigilant as well as smart and continue listen to what our students are saying before they act.
There are usually warning signs for this kind of violence.
Let's all make sure we don't think for a minute that it can't happen here.

Sometimes people are just evil. There's not always a person or thing to blame. Just evil.
-- Posted by per moenia urbis on Sat, Apr 18, 2009, at 8:19 AM
Research has determined that from the Moment of Commitment (the point when a student pulls their weapon) to the Moment of Completion (when the last round is fired) is only 5 seconds. If it is the intent of a school district to react to this violence, they will do so over the wounded and/or slain bodies of students, teachers and administrators.
Educational institutions clearly want safe and secure schools. Administrators are perennially queried by parents about the safety of their schools. The commonplace answers, intended to reassure anxious parents, focus on the school resource officers and emergency procedures. While useful, these less than adequate efforts do not begin to provide a definitive answer to preventing school violence, nor do they make a school safe and secure.
Traditionally school districts have relied upon the mental health community or local police to keep schools safe, yet one of the key shortcomings has been the lack of a system that involves teachers, administrators, parents and students in the identification and communication process. Recently, colleges, universities and community colleges are forming Behavioral Intervention Teams with representatives from all these constituencies. Higher Education has changed their safety/security policies, procedures, or surveillance systems, yet K-12 have yet to incorporate Behavioral Intervention Teams. K-12 schools continue spending excessive amounts of money to put in place many of the physical security options. Sadly, they are reactionary only and do little to prevent aggression because they are designed exclusively to react to existing conflict, threat and violence. These schools reflect a national blindspot, which prefers hardening targets through enhanced security versus preventing violence with efforts directed at aggressors. Security gets all the focus and money, but this only makes us feel safe, rather than to actually make us safer.
Some law enforcement agencies use profiling as a means to identify an aggressor. According to the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education's report on Targeted Violence in Schools, there is a significant difference between "profiling" and identifying and measuring emerging aggression; "The use of profiles is not effective either for identifying students who may pose a risk for targeted violence at school or -- once a student has been identified -- for assessing the risk that a particular student may pose for school-based targeted violence." It continues; "An inquiry should focus instead on a student's behaviors and communications to determine if the student appears to be planning or preparing for an attack." We can and must assess objective, culturally neutral, identifiable criteria of emerging aggression.

Doctored Google Earth Images: Is Google Helping China Falsify Information?
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
A jpg image of the region taken from GE is posted here (below). I don't know how to upload kmz files or links that will take readers directly into Google Earth. So readers interested in looking up more closely should use the coordinates at the bottom of the image. Going up closer to the location in GE is much more convincing than the jpg photo shared here.
I told this observation to a friend and colleague from Green College, who used to work for Google Maps, the amazing Ducky. She checked the images and found them suspicious. Upon her advice, we decided to alert Google Earth about this and to see their response.
What do you think is going on here? Is Google Earth covering up for China? Or is someone supplying GE with doctored images? Or may be someone in Google Earth is working against company policies?
Did you know that a giant alian bug was found in a part of Germany in GE?

cant solve this I am afraid, but to deepen the mystery, I get a very clear image dated Sept 12 2004 which is better than the 2007 jpg posted on this blog
The 2007 image also appears to be older (as well as being doctored) than the 2004 one.....
The one I get shows the dam clearly and having been to the region I would GUESS it to be a 2008 image or so. Indeed if it was not for the date, I would presume that GE had replaced a dodgy image with a more modern one.
So the query is can we really trust the GE date?

dont mean to be too pedantic, but GE has Drigung monastery, Lhvnzhub, Lhasa China (as it calls it ) in the wrong place.
GE flies me to 30.06.22.53//188.8.131.52, a mountaintop far away from the river, alt 5095
unless the monks have suddenly decamped I believe the correct location to be 30.01.56.60//188.8.131.52, alt 4024
No date on this image and one of the blurry ones, so probably a genuine error but it appears to be in the GE database and needs to be corrected if anyone knows how.

Hello Stone Routes, these are very interesting findings. Please save the Sept 12, 2004 image and send it to ghangkar at yahoo dot com
Not sure how GE dating and uploading system works. It seems like depending on when and where we look, we may get different kinds of images, perhaps a signal of GE using multiple computers at multiple locations, uploading images at different times? Not sure here. As for having place names pointed at wrong locations, I have never tried marking it publicly but it seems to me that many of these locations and photos on GE are uploaded by ordinary users from everywhere. Also, it is partly due to the extent of zooming and precision people care to take when they mark the pointers.
- October 7, 2009 at 1:41 PM
I do not believe this ...but when I tried to fly there again, to complete the request above, GE had reverted to the Jun13 2007 doctored image.
I definitely did see a clear photo dated 2004, but probably later, and wish that I had saved it. I was not even sure I could do this anyway but never got the chance. Did anyone else manage to see it (or can still)?
maybe I need new glasses. DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL
so no email, sorry
Stone Routes
- October 9, 2009 at 10:32 AM
guess what, checked the GE 90 seconds after last post and back the good photo was.
so no tech wiz but hope I have sent a copy as requested
do not know what I will get next time I fly there , hope it is 1949 or prior as the modern world is too confusing
let me know if email arrives and could you post it somewhere for others via blog, kmz (whatever that is I thought it sounded professional) or even wizardry.

Pulled up commercial imagery from Geoeye.com that clearly shows the reservoir and the entire hydroelectric dam. Don't think problem on GoogleEarth is intentional. Picture of commercial image is at http://geofuse.geoeye.com/landing/image-details/Default.aspx?id=20071026044127600000116232282000038201103THC

It doesn't let me rest, so there's another suspicious discovery in this case: If you move the historical imagery slider in Google Earth (not possible in Google Maps) back to 2007 you will se that an image for this sector was added, and already on this one the dam area was erased so that the low-resolution image below shines trough. In 2009 a third image was placed in between the two:

EPub files
EPub is an open-standard file format for digital books. The benefit of the ePub format for readers is that it allows a book's text to automatically adjust or "reflow" for different screen sizes, including smartphones, netbooks and e-reader devices.
Whether to submit ePub or PDF files
We recommend that you send us both PDF and ePub files for your books, as we offer our users two display modes: original pages and reflowable text. Providing the PDF file for your book will ensure that readers can view the book in its original layout, while the ePub file will allow them a more customizable experience. In this case, users will have access to a "reflowable text" option in addition to the "original pages" option. They will be able to resize the text, change the font, and view the book more comfortably on screens of varying sizes. Most major publishers are supplying ePub files to us.
In order to have the best possible array of books available with both options, we're converting selected books to the ePub format at our expense when a publisher cannot provide an ePub. Some books are not suitable for ePub conversion because of various factors. As we're unable to convert every book, we encourage you to create your own ePub files.
Validating ePub files
Prior to uploading your ePub files, we recommend that you try opening them using an eReader program such as Adobe Digital Editions. If you are able to open the files using eReader software, this is a good indicator that the file will be successfully processed by our system.
An additional step you can take is to run the EpubCheck tool, a tool to validate ePub files, to ensure that there are not errors in the files you generated. If we encounter issues with processing your ePubs, these errors will appear in your account under the 'Needs Action' tab in your Partner Program account. The International Digital Publishing Forum also offers a Web-hosted EPUB validator.
Optimizing your ePub sample
To provide a better eBook sample experience for Google Play customers, please be sure to indicate where the content starts (after any front matter material such as the title page or copyright page). Follow the links to the specification documents for examples.
For EPUB 2, inside the
guideelement, include a
<reference>element with a
type="text"attribute: http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPF_2.0.1_draft.htm#Section2.6
Enhanced ePub support
File format
Books on Google Play support audio and video embedded in ePub 2.0.1 and ePub 3.0 files.
Audio/video embedded in an ePub should be contained in HTML5 tags, such as in the examples below:
<audio src="xxx" />
<video src="xxx" width="640" height="480" />
<video title="yyy" width="640" height="480" poster="xxx">
<source src="xxx" />
<source src="yyy" />
Only the following attributes will be parsed in books on Google Play:
src: Defines the location of the file for video and audio.
height: Dimensions for video.
poster: Defines a static image for the video. Google supports any image format specified in ePub specifications.
Additional attributes will be ignored.
We support a wide variety of audio and video formats:
- MPEG-4, 3GPP and MOV files - typically supporting H.264 or MPEG-4 video codecs, and AAC audio codec
- WebM - VP8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codecs
- MPEG - typically supporting MPEG-2 video codec and MP2 audio
- FLV - Adobe-FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio
- AVI - many cameras output this format; typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM
- MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, 3GP for audio
Fixed layout ePub support
Books on Google Play support fixed layout in ePub 2.0.1 and ePub 3.0 files.
Include the file
Specify layout in XHTML items by adding
<meta name="viewport" content="width=xxx, height=yyy"></meta>
Only the following values in the META-INF/com.apple.ibooks.display-options.xml file will be parsed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<platform name="*">
<option name="fixed-layout">true</option>
Additional attributes, such as the following, will be ignored:
platform name: if different than
orientation-lock: setting portrait or landscape orientation is ignored
open-to-spread: always set to false

College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST)
About the CLASTThe College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) was administered from October 1982 to June 2009 to students seeking associate in arts (AA), bachelor of arts (BA), or bachelor of science (BS) degree from a Florida public college or university. The CLAST was one way students could demonstrate proficiency of the College-Level Academic Skills (CLAS) set.
The CLAST was part of Florida's system of educational accountability that satisfied the mandates of Section 1008.29, F.S. The CLAST was an achievement test that measured students' attainment of the college-level communication and mathematics skills that were identified by the faculties of community colleges and state universities through the College-Level Academic Skills Project (CLASP). The skills were adopted by the SBE and are listed in Rule 6A-10.0316, FAC.
The CLAST consisted of four subtests: essay, English language skills (ELS), reading, and mathematics. Each subtest yielded a single score that was reported to the student and to the institution requested by the student.

You can use a regular jet and use oversize leathers. You will have to special order the leathers. You can also put spacers under the leathers or put regular leathers inside the over-size leathers to make them beefier.
I did a search a while back for 2.5" stuff. Most of it is no longer being made. What came out of the well? Was it a regular packer? Why can't you re-use it?
Also beware that only 3" casing adapters are being made now, so you will have to either swedge up or down for the well head. I prefer to go up so you can install everything and remove everything without having to work an adapter around the pipe. 3" casing adapters have 1.5" threads so you will need to get another special adapter to go back to either 1" or 1.25" threads. Let me know if you need any more help, very few people know about 2.5" wells anymore.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
What Happened To Quality?
When we purchased our condo, we wanted to update our furniture and appliances (specifically our washer and dryer). Our washer was 15 years old/dryer was 18 years old/sofa and loveseat were 15 years old. All were in darn good condition yet and worked great. We left the washer and dryer at the house when we sold the house and sold the sofa and loveseat.
We purchased two new leather recliners and a sofa from a local, well-known store. We paid good money for all. Not top of the line but not rock bottom either - bought name brands and paid ALOT. We bought a top of the line washer and dryer - BIG BUCKS. We are starting to notice after 2 1/2 years that the quality in furniture and appliances is no longer available. I have a good idea why but I've irritated that we can no longer expect quality workmanship and pride in workmanship anymore.
Although we are very busy with work, schooling, church activities, etc. we always find time for volunteering. Try it, you may like it. Volunteering gives my husband and I much satisfaction and joy because we know that we are very fortunate and we are aware that others may be having a difficult time in their lives for whatever reason. We also like to help our community out when we can - working with various police departments, the Share Program and events that my company sponsor. For the most part, you get to meet some very dedicated and decent people....people with common sense that realize that the only way we are going to make the world a better place for now is by compassion, consideration of others, and watching over one another. If there are people who just don't want to accept your help, then you tried your best and can walk away knowing that.

Could the Indianapolis Colts go 0-16?
Going into their bye week this Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts are a brutal 0-10. Before the Detroit Lions in 2008, losing every game on your schedule in a 16 game season was thought to be impossible. Could it possibly happen again just three years later? I thought I would take a look at the Colts remaining 6 games and see just how real the possibility may be.
This could be their best chance at finally getting a win. The Colts have been at home for their previous two games and will be yet again when Carolina comes to Lucas Oil Field. Add to that the extra time they have to rest from their bye, and Indianapolis should be well prepared for this game.
Unfortunately for them the 2-7 Panthers are no pushover. Cam Newton is getting better and better as he continues to get more comfortable in the NFL. If the Colts can't find a way to shore up their run defense (31st in the league), they could lose yet another decision.
New England
The Colts are going to have a hard time leaving Foxborough with a win. Even if New England has the 32nd worst pass defense, I don't see the Colts winning a shootout with New England. The Colt's defense will simply be outmatched with the firepower Tom Brady and the Patriots have on offense. Besides, New England might take pleasure in beating a recent rival who is down.
Double what I just said above. Ravens fans have a deep-seeded hatred for the Indianapolis Colts, who were once the Baltimore Colts. Expect M&T Back Stadium in Baltimore to be rabid as they hope to help their old team to a winless record. The Ravens are better in all phases and should have an easy time getting a win at home.
This game starts the stretch of divisional games that will run through the end of the season for the Colts. If the Colts don't have a win by this point in the season, their spirits won't be very high. Having already lost at Tennessee this year, chances are slim home field advantage will be able to make up the difference in this match up. The Titans at this point in the season still have a shot at the playoffs. If that is still the case in Week 15, you can bet they will be poised not to let this game get away.
The Colts may have caught a break in this game (no pun intended) as Matt Schaub may be done for the season with a foot injury. However, Texans fans would probably still like their chances with Arian Foster against the Colts run defense. If the Colts can avoid Schaub and stop the run, this could be a game they could sneak away with.
Could you imagine the pressure if the Colts are 0-15 going into this game? The Colts fans would be in attendance for what could be a historically bad ending to their season, something Lions fans were spared in 2008. The good news would be, Jacksonville is not a world beater, and if the Colts haven't packed it in already, they could save themselves in the 11th hour.
So many twists and turns could happen between each week of this outline. Regardless, the tension (and fear from Colts fans) is palpable as Indianapolis travels towards a mark that no one wants to be associated with. If they do achieve this unfortunate record, at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. They will be getting Peyton Manning back next year, and they will have his successor, Andrew Luck, ready to learn.

Technology is at the heart of our business. Ericsson engineers, researchers and scientists around the world are working on what's next in information, communications and telecommunications (ICT). Find out more about our advances in technology and the thoughts of the people who make it happen.
For those interested in technologies, they give an overview and also we present our thoughts on what may happen in the future.
Johan Kristiansson, Master Researcher at Ericsson Research and PhD in Media Technology describes how Contextual Communication will improve the way we communicate and work in the future.
In this section you will find discourse from selected ongoing research activities at Ericsson. All content on this site is in the early stage of research with limited functionality. You are invited to provide comments or ask questions in the comments fields.
The limit for future services will be the performance of the networks. Functionality and capabilities of the networks will decide what is possible. For those of us working with the future communication networks, this brings exciting challenges.
LTE is the technology behind 4G, that delivers mobile broadband to millions of users all over the globe. We believe that LTE will continue to develop yet for many years. LTE will continue to be the main standard for mobile broadband and it will also be a very important component in the future 5G systems.
The Internet is changing the communication landscape dramatically. Communication technologies of the future need to be flexible enough to be able to integrate into new contexts, while offering superior media quality comparable to "being there".
Ericsson is one of the main drivers for the development of a new video standard that will maintain the quality the codec used today while cutting bitrate in half. We are also active with a new codec for voice in 4G that will outperform current ones both in terms of efficiency and quality.
Data & Knowledge. The terms are two sides of the same coin. From data, we can derive knowledge and without data there will be no knowledge. Data marks our starting point and knowledge is where we want to end up. Join us as we explore the steps of handling data, doing analytics and creating Insights.
Mobile and fixed networks that are used for connecting devices and users to services need to be reliable and clouds must safeguard data for users and enterprises.
The Internet of Things will be a major cornerstone of an emerging Networked Society. Our research looks at the kinds of architectures, technologies and ecosystems needed to create an the Internet of Things. Follow us as we share our research results and experience in building and deploying exciting prototypes to make IoT a reality.
ICT from a human perspective; creative explorations, ideas, artefacts, strategies and concepts related to ICT-enabled user interactions with small things, large complex systems and society.
With two partners, Ericsson has launched the Kista 5G Transport Lab to enable the 5G transport network to deliver near-ubiquitous connectivity and be a platform for service innovation.
Ericsson is your guide in the Networked Society. To give you a glimpse of what the Networked Society has in store, Ericsson Research will be at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona to share the results from some of its latest research.
Ericsson Technology Insights brings together the best of Ericsson's technology expertise in ICT. In this app you will find the latest Ericsson Review articles and white papers.
Welcome to our library. Here you will find books where Ericsson's experts have contributed.
