If only Australians could be the same in customer service. I have good news. The jacket arrived today and it fits perfectly. My wife is very happy. She also likes the colour. It's important for me to let you know that International Checkout do a good job and Working Person have been very wise to use them for international sales. Remember, we are in a rural area but that didn't increase delivery time. The jacket was cleared by customs at Sydney airport late yesterday and we received it this morning. All the best and thanks again for your terrific service."

Welcome to the re-designed BetterHealthcareDesign.com site!
We've added a few new features, but our objective is still the same: To share insights on medical technology as it relates to facility design.
If you are involved in healthcare construction, whether it's a new facility, replacement, expansion or renovation, our goal is to help you make more informed decisions.
Planning for Bariatric Patients
I received an e-mail from a patients' family member looking for help in locating a SPECT camera capable of accepting patients who weigh over 360 pounds (165kg). The family was told the hospital did not have access to a system capable of imaging his 480 lb. body. This got me thinking about the very narrow focus that manufacturers offer bariatric patients in the area of medical equipment.
Top 10 Equipment Innovations of the 90's
Several years ago, I sat down and made a list of what I thought were the Top 10 changes in equipment technology that had impacted facility design. I started doing planning 1990, so the list was basically a Top 10 Innovations of the 90's. As I start to ponder my list for 2000 - 2010, I thought I'd re-publish this one and see if anyone remembers seeing these changes affect their projects during design or construction.

Do you have a project that is implementing new technology?
I am always looking for real-world examples of how technological innovation impacts facility design.
Please submit your examples and I'll incorporate your project, product or idea into a future article.
As we find ways to make healthcare design better, it is important to share that insight with others.
Better patient outcomes should not be a competitive advantage you keep to yourself, but knowledge that is dispersed quickly and freely.

A new poll released Tuesday shows that 52 percent of voters have little or no confidence that Blagojevich can erase the budget deficit without hiking taxes.
Thirty four percent have some confidence that he could avoid a tax hike while 14 percent are unsure. The poll of 700 registered voters was conducted between October 15 and 20.
It has an error margin of four percentage points.

Some members of the public have described the developments in the parliament as a demonstration of the country's transformation into a democracy while others say it has turned to a house of comedy.
Speaking in a telephone interview, they said despite increased democracy in the House, its performance is not up to the expectation of voters.
Secretary General of the Tanzania Association of Managers and Owners of Non-government Schools and Colleges (TAMONGSCO), Benjamin Nkonya said the current situation in the parliament is a result of emerging leaders who have grown and studied in a capitalist system and believe in freedom of expression and right to information.
"This is a conflict between the previous system of autocracy vis-à-vis democracy", he said.
According to him, ordering Members of Parliament out of the National Assembly is improper. He suggested that the Speaker and the presiding chairpersons should find ways of controlling disorders without resorting to such punishments.
"Sending them out of the debating chamber does not help. There should be another way of controlling them, so that they continue representing their people in the house", he noted.
For his part, Chairman of the Tanzania Constitutional Forum, Deus Kibamba said the Speaker's chair is overwhelmed, questioning presiding chairpersons' competence. He said the performance of the House is not to the expected standards.
He said legislators are in a battle to prove to the public who is better between those in the ruling party and the opposition.
According to him, the Speaker's seat is the source of what is happening in the house, adding: "The parliament has turned into a house of comedy. The right and left wing are speaking two different languages," he said.
A resident of Mbezi in Dar es Salaam Evarist Mabula said both the Speaker and her presiding chairpersons were incompetent, a factor behind the frequent chaos and exchange of bitter words in the august house.
"We did not see such things in the 9th Parliament, which was led by Samuel Sitta, because of his professional competence. He led the parliamentary proceedings more efficiently than the current leaders of the house," he said.
Meanwhile, Chairperson of the Tanzania Media Women Association (Tamwa) Ananilea Nkya cautioned that the Speaker should be fair when penalising members who violated House orders, be they from opposition or the ruling party.
Nkya said if parliamentarians really want to contribute to the country's development, then it was important for them to observe parliamentary rules and regulations.
"Legislators should learn to respect the Speaker's chair and adhere to parliamentary rules and regulations," she said. Yesterday morning three MPs, Tundu Lissu, Godbless Lema and Peter Msigwa were served with marching orders by the Deputy Speaker, Job Ndugai, apparently for violating rules and regulations of the house.
Nyamagana MP Ezekiah Wenje was on Wednesday ordered out of the National Assembly for being 'disrespectful' to the chair, following a heated exchange with the House chairperson, Sylvester Mabumba.
The drama started during question-and-answer session when several MPs sought the Speaker's guidance on some of the issues raised in the House.
Singida East legislator, Tundu Lissu (Chadema) had posed a supplementary question on why schools were demanding contributions from parents, contrary to government directives.
To substantiate his claims, the outspoken MP produced a letter dated May 2nd, 2005 authored by the then Singida District Commissioner, James Yamungu, directing parents to contribute to school and other development activities.

GloboSol was founded in 1985 as a nonprofit association to promote small technological development of solar energy. Thanks to the classic club structure all management activities are carried out free-of-charge. Only the projects themselves receive an allowance. The money comes from members, patrons and Sponsorbeiträgen. The target of the program is called "Appropriate Technology", sustainable development that is impossible without the use of solar energy. But the way into the solar age should not be pursued exclusively with expensive cutting-edge technologies, which can not afford the majority of people. Solar experts from GloboSol therefore always seek the simplest and most useful solutions which are tailored to local conditions, and Bedürfnisse.Solares cooking as Denkanstossglobosol also supports the spread of solar cooking in Europe. Solar cooking is a form of solidarity for us.
News and recent developments
- April 2011: GloboSol Annual Report 2010/2011
- January 2011: Solar Project Tiloo, founded in 2006, started a new program at the end of 2009: 7 pilot schools in different regions received one solar oven each. They obliged to use the oven for one year in various ways. In doing so they have to earn at least 1,250 Fr. by selling solar products. When the contractual aim is successfully reached, the students receive a certificate and a new solar oven, which is then in turn given by them to another self determined school under the same conditions. In this way a snowball-effect is started designed to engender the countrywide distribution of the solar oven among the young generation. On 23rd January 2011 that moment was attained: The first certificate ceremony was celebrated with public figures, representatives of seven schools and guests from all over the country.
- January 2011: GloboSol reports on solar ovens at a school of Malicounda (Senegal): The project has developed in a way that deserves admiration: From a group of mothers of school children who started to work with solar ovens a few years ago, there arose an association with the goal of teaching women in themes like use of alternative energies against deforestation, advertising strategies to learn selling solar production of marmalade, syrup, soap and scouring agent as new resources of income; to learn book-keeping skills and relations with the banks etc. At the same time meals for the schoolchildren are regularly cooked. The 25 active women, assisted by U.v.Albertini, elaborated clear instructions which they follow with fierce determination. Since even the president of the community had become aware of the group, the women receive regular financial support for their further development courses.
- July 2009: Ulrich Oehler's pioneering work in the 1980s inspired a wave of Swiss solar cooking promoters. For many years, Oehler's house in Basel even served as the country's main solar cooker information center, maintained by the ULOG group. From 1997 to 2007, the Centre Neuchâtelois de Cuisine Solaire (CNCS) in the small town of Neuchâtel served as the country's information hub. Visitors could see a variety of solar cooker models or ask questions of the centre's leader, Michael Götz. In addition to this resource, ULOG group and GloboSol maintain a travelling solar crêperie in which they prepare solar pancakes for music festivals and ecology fairs throughout Switzerland. 2008 was a year of changes and new opportunities. The information center moved to a prominent location in the international city of Geneva. Götz is thrilled with the location. "Finally we have a room with a shop-window, only a few steps from Geneva's train station!" Alain Cassani, Annick Steiner, and Yves Ronchetti of the association SOLEMYO manage the shop and information center, conduct solar cooker construction trainings, and schedule solar crêperie events, while Götz, operating as ExSol, works on consulting, education, technical development, and other projects.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Officials in Raleigh are removing park signs that ban concealed weapons, but a gun rights group says the effort doesn't go far enough.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports Grass Roots North Carolina is still lobbying the city to update its signs to reflect the state law allowing concealed guns in parks.
On Monday, Raleigh parks and recreation director Diane Sauer said the incorrect signs will be removed by Wednesday. But she added that the city won't change signs that include multiple park rules and tell visitors they cannot "possess firearms or other weapons." Those signs don't distinguish between concealed or openly carried guns.
Grass Roots President Paul Valone says his members are preparing to send the mayor rolls of duct tape to cover up the controversial text.
PREVIOUS STORY, October 25, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A gun rights group is threatening to sue the city of Raleigh for not updating signs in city parks telling visitors that firearms aren't allowed.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports Grass Roots North Carolina sent a letter to the Raleigh City Council this week, requesting an update. Legislation passed in 2011 allows concealed-carry permit holders to bring guns to playgrounds, greenways and college campuses.
In an email, Raleigh parks director Diane Sauer told the group it would be too expensive to replace all signs in the city's 100-plus parks, especially since the rules could change again.
City Attorney Tom McCormick said he's not familiar with the sign complaint, but he says the city won't enforce any gun rules that were struck down by the state legislature.

PRETORIA, south africa — Oscar Pistorius is "numb with shock as well as grief" after the shooting death of his model girlfriend at his home in South Africa, the runner's uncle said Saturday, as his family strongly denied prosecutors' claims that he murdered her.
Arnold Pistorius spoke with The Associated Press and two other South African journalists about his nephew's arrest in the killing of Reeva Steenkamp, who was shot four times on the morning of Valentine's Day. Arnold Pistorius spoke to reporters from the garden of his three-story home in the eastern suburbs of South Africa's capital, Pretoria.
The statement, the first on camera and directly made in person by Pistorius' family, also came out against prosecutors seeking to upgrade the charge against Pistorius to one of premeditated murder, which carries a sentence of life in prison.
"After consulting with legal representatives, we deeply regret the allegation of premeditated murder," Arnold Pistorius said. "We have no doubt there is no substance to the allegation and that the state's own case, including its own forensic evidence, strongly refutes any possibility of a premeditated murder or murder as such."
He said the family was "battling to come to terms with Oscar being charged with murder."
The track star's arrest in the killing of 29-year-old Steenkamp shocked South Africa, where Pistorius was a national hero and icon dubbed the Blade Runner for his carbon-fiber running blades and revered for overcoming his disability to compete at the London Olympics.
She was found in a pool of blood before dawn Thursday by police called to Pistorius' upscale home in a gated community. Authorities said she had been shot four times, and a 9 mm pistol was recovered at the home.
On Saturday, Pistorius' lawyers visited the Brooklyn police station in Pretoria, where the athlete is being held pending a bail hearing Tuesday. Pistorius' younger sister Aimee, who stood alongside Arnold Pistorius when he made his statement, was at the police station later.
There will be a variety of hearings before Pistorius, 26, could go on trial. In South Africa, there are no juries, so a judge will decide Pistorius' guilt or innocence.
Arnold Pistorius did not discuss the circumstances of the shooting but said that his nephew and Steenkamp had become very close since they started dating in November.
"They had plans together, and Oscar was happier in his private life than he had been for a long time," the uncle said.

TV show airs featuring Pistorius' girlfriend • JOHANNESBURG — Reeva Steenkamp's last wish for her family before she was shot dead at boyfriend Oscar Pistorius' home was for them to watch her in a reality TV show that went on air in South Africa on Saturday night, two days after her killing.
Sharon Steenkamp, Reeva's cousin, said that the model and law graduate was "proud of being in the show" and reminded them in their last conversation to make sure that they watched it.
The South African Broadcasting Corp. aired the "Tropika Island of Treasure" program, showing the late Steenkamp — the victim of a Valentine's Day shooting at the home of Pistorius, the Olympic star and double-amputee athlete. She is laughing and smiling, and blowing a kiss toward the camera in Jamaica when it was filmed last year.
South Africans also saw her swimming in the ocean.
The show was dedicated to Steenkamp and displayed the words "Reeva Steenkamp 19 August 1983 — 14 February 2013" between images of a rose and a candle in a short tribute before the show aired.
Steenkamp's family said earlier Saturday that it had not been contacted by either the SABC — South Africa's national broadcaster — or the show's producers for permission to air the show but were not opposed to it because Reeva wanted everyone to see it. — The Associated Press

Real Washington Wedding: Erica and Christian
Erica and Christian were married at Skamania Lodge in a beautiful spring wedding, on Skamania's breathtaking lawn overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, with temperatures of 70 degrees. A destination wedding, the couple shared their special day with guests who traveled from all over to share in their happy day.
We truly enjoyed helping Erica and Christian plan their wonderful blend of rustic & organic wedding and are pleased to share this note from the lovely couple.
"I know I've told you this a million times, but our experience was incredible. I was amazed that everywhere I looked you had taken care of the smallest details, from redoing our chalkboard signs to thoughtfully placing (and replacing) all our flowers and decorations and having great little wood holders for the signs, cakes, etc. Those little details were ones I just figured we wouldn't worry about since we were doing a destination thing that was pretty hands off, so it was just incredible that all these little details were so beautiful and thoughtful.
I just want you to know that I noticed all that and appreciated it more than I can say. The attention and skill of the Skamania staff were noted by so many of our guests who said it was the best resort they've ever stayed at. It was the perfect day. "

Seen some requests to look at some info on the CGEM, so I enabled the guide log in PHD the other night and saved it as a PHD Log and some additional PEAS output that can be looked at in PECPrep. I have attached the PHD file and some PEAS output for everyone to have a look at.
Used PHD Version 1.10.0; I guided for close to 3 hours (the log is for about an hour and a half) using with standard out of the box settings (100% Agressiveness, 10% Hystersis, Dec Guide Mode set to Auto and Dec Algorithm set to Resist Switching).
I opened up the PHD Log using PHD Analyzer (you need Version 3 which can be had at the Stark Labs Yahoo Group under Files/Supplemental Files folders).....checked it out, and have no idea what it means. I guided from my back porch, which is wood framed and is slightly affected by
cars going by or by myself walking away from the mount once everything is set...you can see those anomolies at the beginning and close to the end of the graphs...otherwise I have no idea what any of this info means...maybe someone
could clarify this information for us?
I was imagining using an AT90EDT (great scope) and SXVF H9C; Guidescope was a 50mm Miniborg of 250mm focal length and an Orion Starshoot Autoguider which has 5.2 micron square pixels. On this imaging run, I was taking 150second lights and stars came out nice and round (90%).
I have not fussed with PEC much as guiding has always seemed to mask things, but was kind of interested in what my new CGEM does. My CGEM is sure accurate in it's pointing and tracking...and, used the AllStar Polar Align routine which seems to work well.

News and Recent Developments
- July 2009: French personality Jerome Bonaldi introduced several models of solar cookers to a national, prime time television audience during a technology segment on the France 2 network.
- March 2008: French nongovernmental organization Synopsis is collaborating with the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ)-implemented Programme for Biomass Energy Conservation (ProBEC), based in Johannesburg, South Africa, to develop a meter that will be installed in solar cookers to track use in real time. Traditionally, solar cooker use and fuel savings have been determined through surveys, or by estimating the amount of fuel required to cook over a period of time versus the actual amount of fuel used. These approaches can take a lot of time and resources, and the results aren't always reliable or convincing to skeptics. Dr. Michael Grupp thinks there is a better way. He says his invention, the Synopsis Use Meter (SUM), will automatically determine the quantity of food being cooked, the cooking temperature, the cooking time, and the number of "meal portions" prepared in the cooker. When compared to baseline emissions, this data yields actual greenhouse gas reduction figures produced by the respective household, which could be sold through a voluntary carbon market to help offset the cost of the solar cooker.
- July 2007: This past March in Paris, France, Regula Ochsner received the Yves Rocher Foundation's international "Women of the Earth" award for her work promoting solar cookers in Madagascar. The award honors women who lead actions benefiting nature and humanity. The award ceremony was attended by Madame Nelly Olin, French Minister for the Environment. In 2001 Ochsner founded the Association pour le Développement de l'Energie Solaire Suisse – Madagascar (ADES) to help combat rampant deforestation. Ochsner lived in Madagascar in the early 1970s and was shocked, when she visited in the late 1990s, at the amount of deforestation that had occurred in a period of just 25 years. (Madagascan families use about 100 kilograms of charcoal on a monthly basis, amounting to one-sixth of an average monthly salary.) Ochsner researched cooking alternatives that would reduce firewood and charcoal use, and discovered solar cookers. Madagascar, especially in the south of the country, has close to ideal conditions for the use of solar energy. Ochsner initiated production of solar box cookers by local carpenters in 2001, followed by distribution and sales. In 2003 ADES built a more permanent carpentry workshop in Tulear and another in Ejeda in 2006. ADES currently provides employment to 13 carpenters and trainers. The teaching of the population to use solar cookers is an important part of ADES' work. Regular demonstrations on how to use the solar cooker take place. The interest level of the population is very high. Over 1500 solar cookers have been sold thus far. A survey of the usage of the solar cookers conducted by two German students in 2004 showed that 75% of the solar cookers were used regularly. Ochsner plans to invest the prize money of 10000 euro in a further solar cooker pilot project in the south of Madagascar. Future plans include development of regional centers in Morondava and Fort Dauphin.
- April 2007: "Bon Appétit Monsieur Soleil," a film about solar cooking in Burkina Faso, earned top honors and a 5000 euro prize at the International Ecological Film Festival in Bourges this past October. The film was directed by Boris Claret and produced by Association La Trame documentary film studio. The festival program described the film as follows: "At the edge of the Sahel, firewood is rare and expensive. To counter deforestation, a whole network of nongovernmental organizations, craftsmen welders, and women's associations have developed for 10 years an effective alternative: parabolic solar cookers."

Grid-tied microgrids: a utility's best friend?
Remote microgrids grow for under-served end-users
Today's column is just a quick look at developments in the microgrid sector, courtesy of a conversation I had last week with an analyst who studies the issue.
The two main types of microgrids are grid-tied and "remote," or those without grid connections.
It appears that grid-tied are perhaps most relevant to today's power utility in the United States, because of two developments.
First, an IEEE standard (P1547.4) has been adopted that addresses many of utilities' perennial concerns about distributed generation and islanded microgrids. Second, an increase in distributed generation in general—not just renewable energy resources—has driven interest.
"The main milestones this year (2011) was the IEEE standard and the other was the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations on demand response," said Peter Asmus, author of Introduction to Energy in California and a new research report for Pike Research, where he is an analyst. "So now utilities, instead of worrying about microgrids disconnecting their loads from the grid at will are now saying, 'Microgrids are the most secure form of demand response.' In fact, microgrids are an ideal demand response resource.
"Now there are engineering protocols you can point to that say if you do x, y and z, the safety issues that have historically held up microgrids are no longer valid," Asmus told me. "In that sense, the [adoption of the IEEE standard] is a major step forward. But it's non-binding and it's not going to immediately change everything. It's just part of a gradual change in policies and regulations and standards [that will encourage the growth of grid-tied microgrids]."
"Right now, grid-tied microgrids are the exception to the rule," the analyst added. "With the new IEEE standard, that may no longer be the case. This is an opportunity, not a threat."
Remote microgrids will see growth largely in developing economies that don't have a heritage of power infrastructure, Asmus said. Although, in the U.S., Alaska has what amounts to a large number of sometimes interconnected microgrids. And in certain jurisdictions—say, the vast, often isolated rural service territory of BC Hydro in British Columbia, Canada—the "obligation to serve" includes assisting remote communities to develop "remote" microgrids.
In British Columbia, BC Hydro is building a microgrid in Bella Coola, B.C., 250 miles north of Vancouver. In that particular case, participants are harnessing river flow for power that gets converted to hydrogen, which can be stored and transported. The utility also is upgrading diesel-powered distributed generation and will add wind turbines to the mix. All networked and controlled to orchestrate changes in supply and load—one of the key aspects of microgrid operation.
As for the Lower 48, Asmus pointed to innovative utilities working on microgrids such as AEP Ohio (whose community energy storage project creates a microgrid of sorts), San Diego Gas & Electric (which is cooperating with the University of California San Diego's (UCSD) cutting edge microgrid and is conducting its own Borrega Springs pilot), ConEd (in New York city, the utility has helped facilitate a microgrid to serve a "Beer on the Pier" neighborhood with inadequate power for the breweries) and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (which has created a microgrid to serve its corporate headquarters and central power plant).
In fact, the three main sectors seeing marked growth in microgrids are campuses (think UCSD), remote systems and military applications. Each has its pros and cons, according to Asmus.
Because of the complex regulatory structures governing investor-owned utilities, cooperative utilities and municipal utilities may move more quickly to take advantage of the microgrid's attractions, the analyst said.
These developments mean that pilot projects are giving way to commercial, grid-tied microgrid deployments, particularly in the U.S.
"In the U.S., you assume that the grid is operating and is your main source of power," Asmus pointed out. "A lot of microgrids will only island for emergency purposes. The demand response angle—that they can become demand response resources—may induce them to island often. So a lot of people are saying that with the delays in transmission capacity and renewables projects, demand response will fill in the gaps until these other resources come online, short-term and long-term."
With FERC setting rules that provide guidance to the demand response market, microgrids have another factor in their favor.
Utilities may even go into the microgrid business, facilitating islanding within their service territory to develop the potential for demand response, which could be called on in emergencies or when supply otherwise cannot meet load.
"One of the main drivers of microgrids is distributed generation and it's not all renewable resources, it's all forms of distributed generation," Asmus emphasized. "That's where the microgrid actually helps the utility. Because, until now, the amount of solar photovoltaics (PV) in any region, for instance, has been so small that utilities haven't paid attention to it. It wasn't enough to really matter. But in places like Europe where solar PV penetration is higher, it does matter. In Denmark, for instance, which is probably the leading country in terms of microgrids and virtual power plants—another whole topic—they need aggregation tools that are dependent on smart grid technology.
"You can view microgrids as building blocks of the smart grid," the analyst concluded. "They're an alternative to utility smart meter deployments. I view smart meters as a top-down technology, whereas microgrids are bottom-up. They can work together. But in California, where there's been a rebellion against smart meters, the microgrid may be more appealing, especially if it's designed by the end-user. Though you have to get the utility to go along with it, which has been the challenge in certain areas."
With recent developments, the old challenges are about to be overcome.

Economics of micro-grids
Now that 1547.4 has, presumably, addressed the interconnection issues, I understand that utilities are now saying the micro-grids could be a "secure" form of demand response. However, can someone please explain the economics to me? ...maybe someone from the Galvin Energy Initiative.
In which cases do micro-grids make economic sense to end-users? It's virtually impossible to beat $0.12/kWh when you're using small, locally-operated generation units. T&D costs and efficiency losses are minimal compared to generation and O&M costs. I'm not aware of many places in the U.S. where power reliability is so poor and the economic cost of outages so great that people wouldn't instead opt for a UPS solution instead of a micro-grid.
I can see why the military is working this problem...the cost of outages on mission readiness and potential casualties is frequently worth the investment. But how does it make sense for campuses? Why are UCSD and similar sites building micro-grids, other than for the cache of being first-movers?
I'm a strong proponent of micro-grids and all things "clean tech", but organizations "green washing" themselves frequently does more harm than good. I'd love to see the business case for micro-grids in commercial facilities.
Erik Limpaecher, Boston, MA
Are IOU Managements Smart Enough
I agree with most of Peter's thinking but there are two important areas where he has to be working with a somewhat cloudy crystal ball. First, investor-owned utilities will continue to resist micro-grids unless they can own them, because to do otherwise is tantamount to allowing unfettered competition, loss of market share, and a process of voluntarily shrinking the regulated business. Second, what are regulators likely to do? Candidates for micro-grids may also want to own them because doing so is clearly cost-effective, but allowing unfettered private ownership affects not only the utility, but potentially customers that do not choose the micro-grid option.

OCEAN CITY, Md. (WUSA9) -- Police arrested a man from Illinois on Wednesday who refused to cooperate with Police after a car chase in Ocean City, Md.
Police used a TASER, a K-9 and rubber bullets in order to arrest Brion Adam Kriss, 23. The vehicle chase started at approximately 10:30 a.m. in Fenwick Island. Kriss was suspect of having a large knife which he had displayed during a prior incident in Delaware. He lost control of his car and crashed into a utility pole in the area of Jamestown Road on Coastal Highway. Due to the crash, one person had to be rushed to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.
Kriss then ran away, stole a bicycle and then dived into a marsh. He assaulted several Police Officers as they tried to arrest him.
The Ocean City Police are currently investigating this incident. See below an excerpt that has been released by the Delaware State Police:
The original call was reported at approximately 9:45 a.m. as a hit and run crash in a parking lot of Lighthouse Plaza in Rehoboth (DSP jurisdiction) where an unoccupied parked car was struck. The suspect vehicle fled the parking lot and a general bulletin (GB) was put out including the tag information. Within a half hour, another GB was put out on the same vehicle driving recklessly southbound, north of Bethany. South Bethany PD was alerted to the information and searched from their jurisdiction south to Fenwick Island. As the officer from S. Bethany was sitting stationary with the Fenwick Police officer near East Atlantic Street, they were alerted by motorists traveling southbound on SR1 of the GB vehicle and attempted to catch up to the vehicle as it entered into Ocean City, MD. They did not actually catch up to the vehicle until they were in Ocean City's jurisdiction. At this time, OCPD has the unnamed suspect in custody. Charges are pending in Delaware and the investigation is on-going. A formal press release will be sent out once information is gathered from all agencies.
Additional information regarding the Delaware related incidents will be released by Delaware State Police Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Gary Fournier 302-535-3706.

A Happy Hour in Portland, 16" x 20" oil on linen
I got back to my studio and started the painting. Everything was going smoothly until I was about 90% complete when I became so frustrated that I almost ripped it to shreds. I hated the background, I hated the shirt, I hated the tattoos, I hated everything. Luckily I didn't burn the canvas and opted to set it aside. Over time my feelings faded to the point where I can't even remember why I disliked the painting in the first place. Just a month ago I revisited the painting and saw with clarity that it only needed an adjustment here and a finish there and boom, it was done. Now it is one of my favorite paintings!
It's funny how our minds can get so fixated on little things that we forget about the big picture. A little distance removes the attachment we feel to our work and allows us to see things clearly, almost as if it wasn't our work at all.

Poetry of Earth is a collection of jazz art songs: eighteen English and Danish poems set to a unique combination of extended composition and jazz improvisation. The music was conceived while at a artists residency in a 1000 year-old cloister on the cliffs of Italys Amalfi coast. The poems, from Romantic to contemporary, were all chosen as meditations on human nature, and the nature in the world around us.
The Poetry of Earth musicians are world-renowned as improvisors, and have each developed a personal sound and identity which they bring effortlessly to realize this unique music.
5 pm show: $15/$10 students
7 pm show: All tickets $10
"Perhaps one of the most gifted if not unsung bassist/composers in music today." - @Critical Jazz
"She will be one of the stars of the new generation of composers over the next decade."
"Anne Mette Iversen is no longer an up and coming bassist/composer, she is part of the next standard in jazz." - Stephan Moore, JazzWrap
"But the thing with Iversen is that her artistry divulges a little more of itself with each listen until the music I think was pretty good at first listen turns into an exquisite work of art by the 5th of 6th." - S. Victor Aaron, Something Else

The 4-in-1 Dream is a stroller/ride-on trike designed to grow with your child in four stages. In the first stage, the pedals are folded in and parents steer the stroller using the parent handle. In this stage, you'd use the foot rest, padded high-back support, over-the-shoulder seat belts, and canopy to keep your baby safe and comfortable.
At around 18 months, little ones are ready for stage two. Parents remove the long back support and canopy, but keep the side handles for safety. Parents will still push and control the Dream using the parent handle. At this stage, babies start developing confidence and will learn how to balance on the bike in preparation for the next stage.
Around 24 months, convert the stroller to a training trike by removing the safety harness and folding in the footrest. Fold out the non-slip pedals so that children can rest their feet on the pedals and learn how to pedal. The handlebar clutch is also unlocked so kids can start mastering how to steer, but parents can still be in control with the parent handle.
Finally, at about 30 months, your child is ready for stage four. Remove the parent handle, close the safety clutch, and the stroller becomes an independent tricycle for your child to ride on his or her own.
Some other important features of the 4-in-1 Dream include patented Touch Steering technology, shock-absorbent rubber wheels, built-in suspension, an easy-to-use foot brake, and a large front swivel wheel for tight cornering. Accessories include a cup holder, a storage bag, and a basket. It also comes with a toy cell phone.
We like products that have multiple uses and that parents will be able to use for a long time. The 4-in-1 Dream is a stroller/trike that parents will be able to use for a couple of years because it transforms at each stage and grows with the child. Keep in mind that this is really more of a toy tricycle than a stroller. You may be able to substitute it for a stroller, but it's not going to be as durable as a real stroller.
The 4-in-1 Dream is for ages 10 months to 36 months. There is a 38-pound weight limit.
It took us 20 minutes to put this together, and the instructions were easy to follow.
Two AA batteries are required for the toy cell phone.

USS Horatio
this wiki
|USS Horatio
|United Federation of Planets
|Destroyed (2364)
The USS Horatio was a Federation Ambassador-class heavy cruiser that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-24th century. In 2364, the Horatio was under the command of Captain Walker Keel.
In that year, this ship, along with the USS Renegade and the USS Thomas Paine, secretly rendezvoused with the USS Enterprise-D at Dytallix B. On the planet's surface, the four ship captains had a covert meeting in which they discussed the possibility of an alien conspiracy within Starfleet. Soon afterwards, the Horatio was destroyed with all hands in Sector 63 when the ship imploded. The destruction of the ship was recorded as a disturbance by the Enterprise's sensors. The Enterprise raced to the origin of the disturbance, and discovered the wreckage of the Horatio. The cause for the implosion was believed to have been due to sabotage at the hands of Horatio's first officer, whom Keel had suspected of being under the influence of an alien parasite.

Time for Strobist problem solving 101!
If you are anything like me, you hate wasting money and time with AA batteries in your flashes. You probably also hate the long recycle times that you experience while firing your battery powered flashes. Well, I feel your pain. So I have built a battery pack for my Vivitar flashes that allows me to pump some big power into my little flashes. I have seen several DIY battery packs on the net and when attempting one of my own I combined much of what I saw and liked into my own design.

Lain York Art Exhibit at Thigpen Library Gallery
Submitted on September 30, 2010 at 9:27 AM
Volunteer State Community College presents "Astrobleme", a solo exhibition of mixed media work by artist Lain York. York is a native of Nashville whose painting continues to reference images found in history and ethnographic museum catalogs. These are paintings of sculptures conveyed through photography and can be read as portraits that exist somewhere between an interior landscape and assumed identity. The idea is that of the lost record or unidentified museum piece and is an attempt to deal with the intangible through physical and ordered means. The exhibit can be viewed at the Vol State Thigpen Library Gallery at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin through November 5. There will be a Gallery Talk by the artist on October 22 at 10:00 a.m. For more information e-mail email@example.com.

2012 lineup features Oscar-winner Tan Dun, rising composer Gabriel Kahane
Cho-Liang "Jimmy" Lin is by nature an understated person.
So getting the esteemed violinist to acknowledge that SummerFest's 2012 season looks like the most ambitious, even adventurous season he's assembled during his 12-year tenure as music director is a task.
"Probably it is," he said, reluctantly, "in the sense it has the largest scope, whether it's the time line from Vivaldi through Tan Dun, or having our first choral work ever, or the largest chamber orchestra we've ever put together."
He's not mentioning that the Tan Dun piece, "Water Passion After St. Matthew," will fill an entire evening, be conducted by the Oscar-winning composer, and mark the festival's first collaboration with the La Jolla Playhouse.
Then there's the appearance on two programs of composer Gabriel Kahane, whose performances from Los Angeles (with the L.A. Philharmonic) to New York (with the Public Theatre) have marked him as one of classical music's brightest hopes.
Master saxophonist Branford Marsalis will play Hindemith and Busch with the SummerFest musicians, and then jazz with his own ensemble.
Famed tango master Pablo Ziegler will also perform with the SummerFest musicians, and then with the Ziegler Classical Tango Quartet. ("I can't wait," Lin said. "I'm a big tango aficionado. I can't get enough tango.")
And the spiritual heirs of Victor Borge and Anna Russell, comedians Igudesman & Joo, will bring "A Little Nightmare Music" to Sherwood. (They'll be ready. Their 2012 world tour includes a Carnegie Hall date on April 17.)
Clearly, Lin is moving outside the box, although he's doing it with his characteristic care and consideration.
"You may be taken out of your comfort zone if you are a classical fan when you go hear Tan Dun or Branford Marsalis," Lin said. "And then you can fall back on your comfort food: Schubert, Beethoven, baroque music, Mendelssohn and whatnot."
Among the whatnot programs are Lin, cellist Gary Hoffman and pianist Jon Kimura Parker performing the complete Brahms Trios, and the Tokyo Strong Quartet playing Haydn, Beethoven and Elgar. But Lin's favorites are still that Tan Dun concert, and the closing chamber orchestra program conducted by Kent Nagano, which is anchored by Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 (with Nagano's wife, Mari Kodama, as soloist) and the Mendelssohn Symphony No. 4.
"Those concerts, they represent incredibly keen interests I have in all aspects of music," Lin said. "But it's also about friendship. I've known Kent for a long time; I've known Tan Dun for a long time. I've championed the music of Tan Dun all over the world (he'll perform Dun's Violin Concerto with the San Diego Symphony on April 26 and 28), and I've watched Kent's career take off. Now he's one of the great maestros of the world, and yet he is such a dear person. He is so kind and so humble."
Although several programs feature Beethoven, Schubert is the festival's featured composer, with two all-Schubert concerts and a third with Schubert and Kahane.
Kahane will be on one side of the stage, singing his songs. He'll alternate with his father, the highly regarded pianist Jeffrey Kahane, who will be on the other side of the stage, playing Schubert piano works and song transcriptions.
"If the audience doesn't fancy that idea, the second half is the great Schubert G Major String quartet, played by the Tokyo Quartet," Lin said. "So the first half is what I call the experiment, and the second half is the tried-and-true."
Lin may take you on an adventure, but you can always count on him to leave you on solid ground.

Concrete details are vital for the future of a proposed Brownsboro school campus, and Oldham planning and zoning commissioners will defer their decision on the three-school project until at least January.
After nearly three hours of eyeing graphs, charts and architectural renderings and hearing testimony about the multi-million dollar project, a number of commissioners said they still lacked adequate information about it.

Our history
Pacemaker was introduced as the world's first portable DJ system at the 2007 Sónar music festival in Barcelona. Launched in March 2008, it was featured in Wired, Stuff, Mixmag and FutureMusic. Tributed in The New York Times, Herald Tribune and The Independent. Awarded the Red Dot Design Award – Best of the Best.
Music consumption changed
A bright future was awaiting, but in events following the expansion in 2008, the founder handed over to a new CEO who was immediately faced with a great challenge because music consumption changed, incredibly fast. The iPhone disrupted the hardware industry and Pacemaker had a hard time to adapt. Tonium, the parent company behind Pacemaker went down in June 2011.
Birth of new Pacemaker
But this wasn't the end of things! On the contrary, it became the birth of the New Pacemaker project. We the original inventors of Pacemaker, Jonas Norberg and Daniel Wallner, plus our new recruit, Olof Berglöf, bought the IP back and we are now steering Pacemaker in parallel with an exciting music and technology landscape.
To make sure our precious Pacemaker Device (PMD) could live on. We've set up pacemakerdevice.org a non profit organisation together with a group of enthusiasts. A place where Pacemaker Device users can help each other, exchange ideas and receive updates of the Pacemaker Device firmware.
