Reviews of this property
Steve´s App. was very good. He and his wife are very nice & friendly people. The Bus Station to NY is just one Minute walk from the flat and it takes 10-15 Min so come directly to Manhattan. Thanks for everything.
Very plaisant closed to new york with a lot of buses in 15mn! Steve give us a lot of information how to go and what to do, thank you. I will recommand your location!
We have very much enjoyed our stay with Steve and Frida. They are both very friendly and helpful. They have easily solved a reservation misunderstanding at our first day. Steve has even let us use his own bus pass. I do not know how much more helpful a host can get.
As for the apartment, it was clean and comfortable with a shared kitchen where one can find everything, breakfast, coffee etc. The location is also quite good, it takes 8-10 minutes by bus to get to the city center, Times square. When coming back from the city, you also get to enjoy wonderful sight of Manhattan.
Overall it is a very well located, clean and comfortable apartment with friendly hosts. I would recommend to all New york travelers.
Nice apartment, good beds located in a pleasant area with some nice restaurants in the direct neighbourhood. Manhattan is easy to reach by bus, bus stop just 100m away from the apartment. Frida takes good care of her guests. We can recommend this apartment if you are not looking for luxury but a good and comfortable place for a reasonable price to enjoy your visit in New York.
Steve and Frida are really nice and friendly people. They give lots of tips and help you, if you need any kind of help :).
The apartment is simply and clean, If you need a place to sleep, it is ok for you as it was for us.
Breakfasts are simply too but enough for a start of a new day :).
The bus stop and supermarket are within 2-3 minutes walk. It takes around 15 minutes to Manhattan by bus. There are some restaurants around, We usually went to a chinese one - good and cheap.
To Hudson river is around 5 minutes - wonderful view on New York's skyline, esp. at night :).
I can reccommend Steve's apaprtment to others :).
We had a great stay in NY . The hosts were very accommodating and hospitable . I would recommend this place to my acquaintances .
Great trip, very nice and kind couple, Steve and Frida were! Apartment is in Union City,New Jersey. It takes about 20mins with bus to go to Manhattan and it costs 2,7$, not too bad. Shared kitchen with other guests.
In a scale 1-10, I think this is a 7
First of all you have to say, the New York trip is absolutely worth it and I've seen until then nothing like it. We were four of us and the room was large enough. From the apartment you need only 5 minutes walk to the banks of the Hudson River, from where one has a fantastic view of Manhattan. The bus stop is right outside the front door and the bus that takes 15 minutes to Manhattan. For the hosts, I can only say: "Thank you for a great stay." Steve and Frida are very nice and helpful, and give a lot of helpful tips for staying in NYC. Also, you could use the kitchen and there were a food available. I can only repeat myself and say that it was a great experience.
Erst einmal muss man sagen, das New York absolut eine Reise wert ist und ich bis dahin noch nichts vergleichbares gesehen habe. Wir sind zu viert unterwegs gewesen und das Zimmer bot ausreichend Platz. Vom Apartment braucht man nur 5 Gehminuten bis zum Ufer des Hudson Rivers, von wo man einen traumhaften Ausblick auf Manhattan hat. Die Bushaltestelle liegt direkt vor der Haustür und der Bus bringt einen in 15 Minuten nach Manhattan. Zu den Gastgebern kann ich nur sagen: "Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt". Steve und Frida sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, und geben einem viele hilfreiche Tipps für den Aufenthalt in NYC. Außerdem konnte man die Küche nutzen und es standen einem Lebensmittel zur Verfügung. Ich kann mich nur wiederholen und sagen, dass es ein super Erlebnis war.

April 2017
Overview This project widens State Route 502 from two to four lanes from I-5 east into the city of Battle Ground. Median barrier will also be installed to help reduce the severity of collisions along the corridor. Additionally, crews will construct 10-foot-wide shoulders for pedestrians and bicyclists along both sides of SR 502 for the entire length of the corridor. Sidewalks and bike lanes will be built in the commercially zoned area near Dollars Corner, located at the intersection of SR 502 and NE 72nd Avenue.
Why is WSDOT
widening State Route 502?
Central Clark County has been growing for decades. Traffic on SR 502 is expected to double in the next 20 years, and the highway needs to be wider and safer to support this increase in traffic and reduce the risk of collisions.
The End Result
Safer, faster trips on SR 502 between I-5 and Battle Ground. SR 502 will be a four-lane highway with median barrier and 10-foot shoulders for bicycle and pedestrian travel. Traffic signals will help drivers more safely access or cross SR 502 at NE 29th, 50th, 72nd and 92nd avenues.

Alice Margaret Brown was born in Canterbury, New Hampshire, 20 February 1886, to Alfred Hermon and Margaret Elizabeth (Gale) Brown. My sister recently found the postcard scanned for display here among some old papers of Nana Perkins (AM Brown). Although she is not named, the card obviously is in reference to her birthday three days prior to the date on the postmark of the postcard.

Canadiens alumni president Réjean Houle has a laugh at one of Elmer Lach's bon mots before today's news conference in Pointe-Claire.
Graham Hughes, Gazette
Last December's retirement of the jerseys of Canadiens Hall of Famers Elmer Lach and Émile (Butch) Bouchard did more than hoist their respective No. 16 and No. 3 to the rafters of the Bell Centre.
The Canadiens, through their Children's Foundation, gave $25,000 to each man to donate to the charity of their choice.
Bouchard chose Fondation Pinocchio and Projet 80 to share the funds in his name.
Today, Lach took part in a news conference at Pointe-Claire's Lakeshore General Hospital to donate his $25,000 to the hospital's foundation for use in its pediatrics department.
The release from the hospital appears below. To both Elmer and Butch: well done!
Hospital news release:
Elmer Lach and the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation Give $25,000 to the LGH Foundation upon Jersey Retirement
Pointe-Claire, QC – The Lakeshore General Hospital (LGH) Foundation is proud to announce that the proceeds from the retirement of Montreal Canadiens jersey No. 16, worn by legendary Punch Line member Elmer Lach, will be donated to the foundation in a ceremony to be held Nov. 3.
A cheque in the amount of $25,000 will be presented to the LGH Foundation at the ceremony.
Upon Mr. Lach's request, the funds from his jersey number retirement will be directed to the paediatrics department of the Lakeshore General Hospital.
Renowned hockey broadcaster Dick Irvin Jr. will be on hand to welcome and introduce Mr. Lach, who played on the Montreal Canadiens for 14 seasons, from 1940-1954. Also attending will be Canadiens Alumni Association President Réjean Houle, on behalf of the Canadiens Children's Foundation. Mr. Houle will present the cheque on behalf of the Montreal Canadiens.
A Hart Memorial Trophy winner, a member of the first NHL All-Star team, and a Hockey Hall-of-Famer since 1966, Mr. Lach is presently the oldest living Montreal Canadiens player. We are truly honoured to be the recipient of his generosity, and to become a part of such a celebrated sports tradition.
The LGH Foundation relies entirely on donor support to improve our community hospital. It strives towards health care excellence in the West Island by acquiring cutting-edge equipment that government funding alone cannot provide.
Today's cheque presentation ceremony. From left: Canadiens alumni president Réjean Houle; Canadiens legend Elmer Lach; Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation president Silvano Orrino; LGH Foundation chairman Nick Di Tomaso; broadcaster Dick Irvin Jr., whose father, Dick Sr., was Elmer's only coach with the Canadiens from 1940-54.

N.Z. Set for More Rainfall as Residents Assess Weekend DamagePhoebe Sedgman
New Zealand's North Island may receive further rainfall today, helping ease the most widespread drought in at least 30 years that curbed milk output, as residents assess damage from a weekend of heavy showers.
Parts of the Bay of Plenty, on the northern coast, may get 30 millimeters (1.2 inches) to 50 millimeters of rain between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. local time, MetService said on its website today. The city of Tauranga received more than 200 millimeters over the weekend, John Corbett, media meteorologist at the forecaster, said by phone from Wellington.
Whole-milk powder climbed to a record last week as a drought declared across the entire North Island curbed milk production. Milk collection slumped 16.3 percent last month from a year earlier and declined 2.3 percent in February, Auckland-based Fonterra Cooperative Group Ltd., the world's largest dairy shipper, said this month. The country may receive near-normal rainfall through June, helping boost soil moisture, according to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.
"A complex area of low pressure is currently crossing New Zealand," MetService said in a statement. "Humid, unstable air associated with this system is bringing bursts of heavy rain and thunderstorms to parts of the North Island and upper South Island."
Residents in parts of Tauranga left their homes because of heavy rain, while parts of Nelson, on the South Island, were also flooded, the New Zealand Herald reported today.

(Updates with colleague Tiernan Ray's interview with Infosys head of Americas Ashok Vemuri)
Investors were not happy with Indian software services giant Infosys' (INFY) second quarter fiscal 2013 results, with revenue of $1.8 billion missing analysts' expectations and profitability continuing to disappoint, with margins falling about 150 basis points from the previous quarter.
(Here is WSJ's Rumman Ahmed and Dhanya Ann Thoppil's report on the results.)
Infosys' head of Americas Ashok Vemuri told colleague Tiernan Ray this morning that the company was seeing significant slowdown in China and said that third quarter visibility was limited, with clients skittish about committing.
Many investors were hoping for better news rather than an unchanged outlook.
But Citi analyst Goyal Surendra writes that underlying volumes were decent, growing at 4% over the previous quarter, exceeding expectations. Surendra writes that it suggests the firm is gaining some lost share.
"While we are disappointed by the margins, this is a better problem to have than volume growth. Infosys has historically been strong on optimizing costs and we keep the faith," he added, reiterating his buy rating on the company.
So far most investors aren't as encouraged, with the ADR down 10% at $43.40.

This poll asks what YOU BELIEVE to be the reason the Dolphins did not address the WR position and get Tannehill more help on offense. Discuss below.
Jeff Ireland didn't think it was necessary.
The Phins tried but trade(s) fell through.
Philbin did not want additional receivers based on the options available.
The salary cap prevented the Phins from doing it.
Jeff Ireland did think it was necessary but there were no suitable options.
This poll asks what YOU BELIEVE to be the reason the Dolphins did not address the WR position and get Tannehill more help on offense. Discuss below.
Ireland was suffering Post-Traumatic Stress with MARSHALL
Other, Packers had no free agents on offense in Philbens time as oc. He builds through the draft. We will be taking more WRs higher in the draft this year.
I think that they were making moves that in the long run are going to be great for the team. On paper this team should not be in the playoff picture with one week to go. I think it is a show of just how much further along we are in what we all thought might be a 3 year overhaul of our team. I am sad we didnt make the playoffs, but in a strange way its a good sad....Because I thought for sure we were going to be in the running for one of the top 5 picks in the draft. Happy to be on the edge of my seat till that kick sailed through the uprights in Steeler Town. Fins Up!!
To build through the draft and not over pay for scrubs.......seems pretty clear to me
Also, fins not making the playoffs should give Philben and Ireland a lot more time to watch young prospects. Just a positive spin on not making the playoffs which i thought was way out of reach at the beginning of the season.
Look we're not in the playoffs because of our kicker, yes we can blame Tannehill for not getting the TD's instead of a chance to make the field goal, but in my opinion, Tannehill did his job.
We were a few games out from making it, and beyond this point I could care less in debating whose fault it was.
You have to win your division to really have a legitimate chance of advancing.
I hope we can add some great additions to this team in the off-season and through the draft.
Philbin never had any say in GB, so this whole "He'll never get a FA WR" talk goes out the window.
Ireland makes personal decisions, if he goes to Philbin and asks his opnion on Wallace, Bowe or Jennings in a dolphins uniform next year, I doubt he's gonna LOL @ Ireland and say "nope, draft only mutha****a"
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!

Updated on 29 July 2013
Mr Herbert Vongpusanachai, managing director, DHL Express, Singapore
Changing healthcare landscape, heightened regulatory requirements, price pressures and persistent economic uncertainties are some of the challenges faced by the global life sciences and healthcare (LSH) industry. Despite the challenging climate, the LSH industry continues to evolve and show resilience. The global pharmaceutical industry is expected to be worth more than $1 trillion in 2014, translating to a compound annual growth rate of five percent.
Closer home, the active pharmaceutical ingredients market in the Asia Pacific region earned revenues of $1.12 billion in 2011 and is estimated to reach $1.79 billion in 2018. Just like other Asian markets that have taken the economic center stage, the LSH industry in Asia is developing into a global powerhouse. Asia has been witnessing an exponential increase in healthcare expenditure due to higher income, expansion of aging population, and improved access to medicine through government policies and initiatives.
This sentiment is also reflected in a survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which found that 55 percent of multinational companies and 62 percent of domestic companies believe that Asia, rather than North America and Europe, will be the focus market for LSH. In particular, China, India, and Singapore will be key countries.
Maintaining standards
While this increased activity in Asia bodes well for the LSH industry and its suppliers, it is also a complex sector with specific needs. Guidelines, from production right up to delivery, have to be put into place. To start with, many companies follow a good manufacturing practice (GMP) in drug production to safeguard the integrity and quality of medicinal products. This practice is not just restricted to production but also encompasses other procedures such as proper warehousing, packaging and transportation. Above all, standards need to be set in logistics as it takes on the role of an enabler in the growing life sciences industry. In this respect, warehousing is an important component in logistics and fulfilment decisions are driven by two factors: security and flexibility. A key consideration is the ability to store the product well, as well as to keep it segregated in the warehouse, until approval by the relevant government authorities is granted.
Due to the diversity and sensitivity of life sciences products, from off-the-counter or prescribed drugs, animal healthcare products to medical equipment, a key consideration is the option of tertiary packaging. Certain pharmaceuticals have to be maintained at a precise temperature to retain their efficacy and logistics providers need to be able to handle shipments with various temperature conditions; and monitoring capabilities during transit. Experienced and reputable logistics providers should provide temperature-controlled packaging for shipments categorized in three most commonly required temperature zones, namely ambient (15-25 degrees Celsius), chilled (two-to-eight degrees Celsius) and frozen (-20 degrees Celsius). The boxes should also be International Air Transport Association (IATA) compliant, and come in a range of different sizes within each temperature range to ensure temperature accuracy and stability.

Three world-renowned paintings by Dutch seventeenth-century masters, Vermeer, Fabritius and De Hooch, were the focus of a special exhibition in the Beit Wing of the National Gallery of Ireland: The Goldfinch (1654) by Carel Fabritius (The Royal Cabinet of Paintings Mauritshuis, The Hague); The Courtyard of a House in Delft (1658) by Pieter de Hooch (The National Gallery, London), and Woman Writing a Letter with Her Maid (c.1670) by Johannes Vermeer (National Gallery of Ireland).
All three paintings were produced at the height of artistic prosperity in the Dutch city of Delft. Celebrated for their depictions of daily life, these artists are acknowledged masters in the rendition of light, perspective and spatial illusion.
Fabritius' small panel painting The Goldfinch was painted in the last year of the artist's short life, and has become one of the most iconic images of the Dutch Golden Age. It was shown alongside De Hooch's celebrated painting The Courtyard of a House in Delft considered one of the artist's most accomplished works in capturing natural light and linear design. Complementing these two paintings was the Gallery's masterpiece by Vermeer, Woman writing a Letter with her Maid which is one of just 36 extant paintings by the artist.

PG, I don't shoot jakes because that is my decision, shooting a jake means nothing to me. Do I have some petting zoo to hunt in....NO..Most of the birds I kill are on public land. My slam has been taken on public land. I wish all states would follow Mississippi's rule of no jakes( my opinion ). I do find it very amusing that most of the die hard no DECOY guys find it OK to kill jakes in the spring and just whatever in the fall... Amazing !
ORIGINAL: NYSuperSportsman
In my eyes hunting is about "hunting" not shooting or killing. There will be days that I might pass on a jake and other days that I would be happy to take him. I gauge my decisions on first of all legalitly and second of all on the experience. I hunt on my own terms and I hope the rest of you do the same.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:18 PM GMT on September 12, 2010
Tropical disturbance (92L) over the Central Caribbean, a few hundred miles south of the Dominican Republic, remains a threat to develop into a tropical depression. Satellite loops this morning show 92L may be starting to form a surface circulation, and an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft will investigate 92L this afternoon to see if a tropical depression is forming.
The storm has only a modest area of heavy thunderstorm with limited low-level spiral banding and upper-level outflow, thanks to an infusion of dry air last night that disrupted the storm. Long range radar out of Puerto Rico shows that heavy rains are affecting that island, but there is no rotation to the radar echoes evident. Wind shear over 92L is low, 5 - 10 knots. The waters beneath are hot, 29.5°C, and these warm waters extend to great depth. Water vapor satellite loops show a large area of dry air lies to the north and west of 92L, and this dry air could interfere with development at times over the next few days.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of 92L.
Track forecast for 92L
The disturbance is moving west to west-northwest at 15 mph, and steering currents favor a continuation of this motion for the next three days. Model support for development is scattered. The GFS and NOGAPS models do not develop 92L. The GFDL and ECMWF models predict development, with a track taking 92L into Belize or Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday. On this track, the southern Dominican Republic can expect heavy rains of 3 - 6 inches today through Monday morning; southern Haiti can expect similar rains tonight through Monday night, and Jamaica and the Cayman Islands can expect heavier rains of 4 - 8 inches Monday and Tuesday. Eastern Cuba can expect rains in the 2 - 4 inch range. Once 92L crosses the Yucatan, the ridge of high pressure steering it is expected to remain in place, forcing 92L to a second landfall in Mexico south of the Texas border.
Intensity forecast for 92L
NHC is putting the odds of 92L developing into a tropical depression by Tuesday at 50%; I'd put them higher, at 70%. However, time is running out for 92L to become a hurricane before hitting the Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday. Given the current disorganized state of 92L, it would be difficult for it to intensify quickly enough to become a hurricane by then. The storm may also suffer another of its mysterious evening collapses, where it loses most of its heavy thunderstorm activity. However, the SHIPS model predicts wind shear will remain low, 5 - 10 knots, through the period, and water temperatures are certainly warm enough to support development. The main detriment to intensification is likely to be dry air, and 92L could wrap in some of the dry air to its northwest at times, slowing down development. There are a number of research flights being made into 92L this afternoon that should help long-term efforts to make better predictions in the future on whether or not disturbances like this will develop or not.
Figure 2. Morning satellite image of Igor.
Hurricane Igor appears destined to become a large and powerful major hurricane over the Central Atlantic in the days to come. Wind shear is low, 5 - 10 knots, and is expected to drop below 5 knots for the next five days. Waters are warm, 28°C, and will warm to 29°C by Wednesday. Igor has moistened its environment enough to keep the dry air of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) at bay. Igor is undergoing a period of rapid intensification today, and will probably be a Category 3 or 4 hurricane by Monday.
The track forecast for Igor remains unchanged. Igor will move west under the influence of a strong ridge of high pressure for the next 2 - 3 days, then turn more to the west-northwest then northwest in response to the steering influence of a broad trough of low pressure moving across the Western Atlantic on Tuesday and Wednesday. This should allow Igor to pass several hundred miles to the northeast of the Lesser Antilles. In the longer range, Igor may be a threat to Bermuda, and does have a small chance of making landfall on the U.S. East Coast or Canada. Climatology shows that about 15% of all tropical cyclones that have existed at Igor's current position have gone on to hit the U.S. East Coast; these odds are about 10% for Bermuda and 10% for Canada. The forecast steering pattern for the period 5 - 12 days from now from the ECMWF and GFS models shows a continuation of the pattern we've seen all hurricane season, with regular strong troughs of low pressure moving off the U.S. East Coast. This pattern favors Igor eventually recurving out to sea without affecting any land areas. Recent runs of the ECMWF model indicate that these troughs may not be as intense as previously thought, so it is possible Igor has a higher chance than usual to hit land than climatology suggests. One wild card may be the possible development of TD 12 behind Igor. If TD 12 develops into a hurricane, and moves close to Igor, as some of the models are suggesting, the two hurricanes could rotate around a common center, forcing Igor more towards the coast of the U.S. The long term fate of Igor is difficult to predict at this point.
Tropical Depression Twelve forms
Tropical Depression Twelve formed between the Cape Verdes Islands and coast of Africa this morning, and is already affecting the Cape Verdes with winds near tropical storm strength; sustained winds of 35 mph were recorded in the northwest Cape Verdes this morning. You can follow the progress of TD 12 through the Cape Verdes today using our wundermap.
Next post
I'll have a new post Monday morning, and perhaps late this afternoon if events warrant.

This is Steve D. of MR. I read this forum for the first time about six weeks ago. I saw a few posts where I thought "That is a really good question...I should answer that...!"
I then tried to log in and it kept telling me there was an error.
Fast forward a few weeks to Comicon, where your mighty leader hung out at our booth. I told him of my plight and he immediately hooked me up with a new account.
I will try to pop in from time to time and answer questions as my schedule allows. As we noted on the other forums, I would respectfully request that a few guidelines be followed:
-Be nice. I won't answer threads that start with "MR is just stupid if they think..."
"MR had better..."
or one of my personal favorites:
"This is just another money grab for MR. They are idiots if they think we are going to put up with this..."
or any thread that has that red "p1ssed off" face in the title.
I hate those.
AND...If you insult me or the company, I reserve the right to make fun of you.
Other than THOSE, I look forward to a mutually beneficial, fun relationship here and hope to keep everyone enlightened about the company and products.
Steve C. and I spent quite a bit of time chatting at Comicon and I thought to myself...he is a really cool guy and we should do more with them.
So here am I...
I see Amy is popping in to answer CS questions, which is great! I will handle product-related questions and she can focus on CS type questions. I will try to get here at least twice a week and answer what I can.
Please be aware that I can't always answer up-coming product questions or new-license-detail-questions as we aren't always allowed to discuss such things...but I will do my best. If I just can't discuss something, I will let you know.
Let us begin...

Teachers Claim Children Overly Affected by Video Games
During the Association of Teachers and Lecturers annual conferance, a group of educators has requested for improved legislation over video games, saying that their effects on children are far reaching. They describe how many come in exhausted from playing games until the early morning, others simulate car crashes and injuries based on games they had played and that extensive play increases the risk of tendonitis.
Are any of these outcomes something for law makers to consider though? Or parents?
"We all expect to see rough and tumble, but I have seen little ones acting out quite graphic scenes in the playground and there is a lot more hitting, hurting and thumping in the classroom for no particular reason," said Alison Sherratt, a teacher at St Mary's Church of England school in Keighley when discussing her own children. Perhaps she shouldn't allow her kids to play such violent games? It being her responsibility and all.
Mary Bousted, the general secretary of the conferance said that "The watershed tends to work quite well, but with online TV and video children and young people are probably watching inappropriate content over a range of media." She also said that "It's about reminding parents and carers that they have a very real responsibility for their children and that schools can't do it alone," with regards to age warnings on games and the effects of not supervising children during gaming.

Right. Back in sunny Hobart. Christmas and New Year rocked, in a chilled out sort of way.
Am now living in a share house that looks like a white castle with some awesome flatmates. Only temporary though, gotta move out in March.
Have quit office job to go back to university and do maths honours. (i.e. more free software hacking).
I'm a Journeyer now. Cool. Thanks glyph and exarkun.
Since I last posted, Twisted has moved over to an in-house unit test framework called Trial. I wrote the base bit, and it's been improved in lots of ways by the rest of the crew. I hope to play around with it and add some funky features when I get some spare time.
Also working on an issue tracking system called Issues. It's using a Twisted framework and it's distorting my mind.
That's it for now. Until next time, remember the words of the Happy Mondays: "You talk so hip man, you're twisting my melon man."

As the world continues to explore and address the impact of environmental and human sustainability, it is important to provide a program that will give students the tools to deal with these critical issues in society. Our courses address a variety of topics, including air pollution, climate change, water and land resource change, energy production change, consumerism and societal needs for adaptation.
Such issues can cross environmental, economical and societal borders and it is important to look at these issues holistically. For these reasons, this program will take both an interdisciplinary and a multidisciplinary approach to environmental issues so that students may identify problems, propose solutions and inform others of such possible solutions.
This major focuses on academic content and allows students opportunities for experiential learning both in the community and in the unique landscape of George Williams College. As students reach the end of the program, opportunities for internships will allow further development in order to prepare the students for the workforce or for the rigors of graduate school.
After degree completion, students may pursue an environmental career in government, industry, public policy, advertising, environmental consulting, community development or urban and rural land-use planning. Students will also be well-prepared to pursue graduate studies in areas such as environmental law or environmental studies, advocacy, biology, education, management, policy and sustainability.

K-1 World MAX Final 16 Fighters and Stream Information
- Written by Dave Walsh
K-1 has been in motion the past few days, making their big announcement of the list for the K-1 World MAX Final 16 as well as announcing that it will be available via internet PPV via the Epicentre.tv platform for $19.99. Needless to say, there has been a lot of movement from K-1, especially in regards to the World MAX Final 16, and all of it looks to be some good stuff. While there were some bumps in the road when it came to the K-1 World Grand Prix Finals earlier this year and the stream, K-1 has teamed up with Australia's Epicentre.tv to provide a HD quality stream of the event. Epicentre has been around for a while, streaming combat sports events all over the world and has a very good reputation for providing quality streams, so you can put yourself at ease knowing that you'll be able to view the K-1 World MAX Final 16 without any real hiccups.
Then, of course, comes the list of fighters for the Final 16. Considering the competition and the nature of the game right now, especially with exclusive contracts and whatnot, the fact that K-1 put together such a great list of fighters is astonishing. Some of the lesser-known fighters, like Enrico Kehl, are really top notch and will make for worthy additions to the K-1 MAX division.

Puppies and paintings (and some particularly humid weather) marked Wednesday night's The Bark Show, a benefit for Pet Helpers. The Wickliffe House, with its dramatically hued walls, was the perfect backdrop for an installation of contemporary artwork from the Margo Kaufman Gallery, which hosted the $10 event. Guests enjoyed wine and food courtesy of Mediterra Catering (spreads with pita, sandwiches with pickles, and custom cupcakes—easily worth the price of admission) while perusing work by several artists, including Townsend Davidson, Kate Long Stevenson, and Kaminer Haislip, whose silversmithing garnered quite a bit of attention. Volunteers cradled adoptable puppies and mingled amid the party guests, many of whom arrived in a wave toward the end of the event—but not too late to scarf a pickle and pick a pup!

The last variant on boom-boom I gave had fairly slow, plodding play. I've since come up with the following game, which is by far the best board game I've ever invented:
Play is done on an othello board, with both players having one color and moving alternately. On a turn, a player may either place a new piece in an empty square, or 'explode' a piece they already have. Placed pieces may not touch an opponent's piece on either a side or corner.
To explode a piece, the player places one of their pieces in each of the eight spaces touching the piece they exploded. If a piece is already there, it's left alone. A piece may not be exploded if it's already completely surrounded. After a piece is exploded, all opponent pieces which border on the exploded piece (either edges or corners) are flipped over, then all opponent piece which border on those are flipped over, and so on, until there aren't any places where two pieces of opposing sides border each other.
The first player to be unable to move on their turn loses.
I've play-tested this game and it went over very well. There are plenty of simple tactics for someone just starting out, and lots deeper and more interesting tactics as you master those. Kids love flipping over so many pieces, and find the rules easy to follow. An 8x8 board is a little small for this game, perhaps it would be good to use that as a beginner board and a larger board for tournament play.
Anyone who wants to follow up to this post should do so via livejournal comments rather than posting to advogato, because I find advogato blog conversations clunky and probably won't follow up to responses there.

Stand Up Fighters in MMA: Konstantin Gluhov
- Written by Rian Scalia
Continuing on our series of kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters in MMA, we profile Konstantin Gluhov. Nicknamed "Lacplesis" which means bear-slayer in Latvian, you already get an idea of what he brings to the table. Although the term "Lacplesis" was made renouned from a Latvian epic poem, Gluhov is all but poetic when the cage door shuts.
At 31 years of age, Gluhov has been fighting for over ten years, spending the larger portion of that time in the realm of kickboxing. The likes of Pavel Zhuravlev, Mourad Bouzidi and Brian Douwes have all been in the ring with Gluhov while his hand was being raised. While not an elite kickboxer by any means, Gluhov is a solid heavyweight fighter that hovers around the middle of the pack. Despite not being among the best in kickboxing, he's definitely among the best in MMA when it comes to striking.
Gluhov had his first MMA fight back in 2006. The beginning of his MMA career wasn't stellar. Losses began to build up, losing three in a row at one point. He kept at it though, and now has won 14 out of his last 15 fights since September 23 of last year, including a current six fight win streak. Mind you, this has all come in less than a year. Gluhov's current tear includes multiple one-night tournaments, even winning four fights in one night on one occasion.. Take a look closer, and you'll see what's really spectacular about this up and coming heavyweight from Latvia.
Gluhov is a rib roaster to put it lightly. Five opponents in the past year have succumbed to his left hook to the liver. Gluhov may be one of the few fighters in MMA to have a "signature move" in which fights are regularly finished with. When you think of Konstantin Gluhov, you think of the left hook to the liver. Despite his obvious favoring of the left hook liver shot as his go-to move, Gluhov has a whole arsenal of weapons that a kickboxer would possess. He rarely uses his kicks in MMA, probably because of the threat of takedowns.
Gluhov's last kickboxing match came in November of last year, where he knocked out Awadh Tamim in the first round (Which was pretty awesome, by the way. You can watch that below.) It's not known if Gluhov will make a return to kickboxing anytime soon. With the success he's having in MMA, it wouldn't be surprising for an organization like Bellator to go after him. You could probably rule out kickboxing if that happened. Right now though, Gluhov can fight wherever he wants, in whatever sport he wants so I wouldn't rule out a return to kickboxing.
Like many strikers that enter MMA, the grappling deficiencies are obvious in Konstantin Gluhov. They'll probably stop him from being any type of top heavyweight in MMA. It's still fun to see him punching MMA fighters in the liver five times a year though, so you should look forward to whenever he fights.

If Anakin (Darth Vader) was indeed the "Chosen one", where does that leave Luke? Was he the "Chosen one 2", becuase he defeats Vader quite easily once he is fully trained and even the Emperor sees him as a threat.
If Anakin (Darth Vader) was indeed the "Chosen one", where does that leave Luke? Was he the "Chosen one 2", becuase he defeats Vader quite easily once he is fully trained and even the Emperor sees him as a threat.
Darth Vader/Anakin is the chosen one since he actually killed the Emperor. (EU be damned!!) Luke is just the Son of the One.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Darth Vader should be the chosen one IF the prophecy was to kill the emperor...by killing the emperor Anakin restored balance...to answer this question we need to know first what the prophecy was (not just bringing the balance stuff, but the whole prophecy)
Also it would be interesting to see who made this prophecy...lets hope GL answers this one!
As always...........L
Vader brought the Jedi down so that only two survived (as BB said, EU be derned on this one). Two Sith, two Jedi--balanced.
That's my jacket!
You mean OB1 and Yoda?? Cuzz later on OB1 sacrificed himself and then Yoda passed away...that leaves us with two sith and no Jedi's, considering that Luke becomes a Jedi after he defeats Vader, then Vader kills the Emperor leaving only two Jedi's...that lasted like 5 minutes cuzz Vader passed away too...dude, this is confusing, we need to see what the prophecy is all about.
As always...........L
The prophecy never called for the Force to stay balanced.
That's my jacket!
I don't buy into the prophecy yet, I think Qui-Gon put the prophecy into motion, his actions brought about this thing about "the chosen one".
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
The prophecy was "if you eat mixed pizza you must balance it with an equal priced drink",I can't believe you guys didn't know
''You fool, my reach is far greater than the Jedi.Only a Sith can wield the force over such a great distance.'' - Darth Sidious
Actually the prophecy was "A child, a chosen one, shall come and bring balance to the force's checking account."
You see, the Jedi were notoriously bad accountants and Yoda couldn't keep the funds and contributions of the Jedi Widows and Orphans fund in order so the Jedi were in really bad debt. They were hoping Anakin would come in and fix things but he took a really radical approach to the problem and decimated them over the next 20 years. In retrospect, they would've been better off with the unbalanced books....
I'm not sure why Mace's line got edited like that in the movie. I guess that's why Ben Burtt is in charge this time.
Who's a sexy kitty? Who is? Yes, you are. You're a SEXY kitty...
PHONE BOOK Written by Bendis. Art by Jim Lee. Total copies sold: 15 billion.
"Comic Collecting. Miss a decade, miss a lot."
Well, it was blatantly obvious that GL was going after a whole Jesus Saviour thing with Anakin, the difference being that while Jesus resisted temptation, Anakin gives into it and sides with the Devil (Emperor). His Son is the only one capable of bringing about his redemption. The ultimate sacrifice involves casting off his demons and literally destroying the evil that is within him and outside of him (the Emperor).
Frank Herbert (GL admits to being influenced by his work) has something like this in DUNE where the gholas (clones) can only remember their true selves (achieve self awareness of their past life) by being placed in a position of extreme trauma, usually being asked to kill the one they love. Love wins out over the command to destroy and the trauma of the situation jolts the ghola into a sudden remembrance of who he really is (and used to be). You might consider this a kind of redemption.
Anakin/Vader is placed in a very similar situation when faced with the destruction of his only Son. While he isn't pulling the trigger per se, it is unfolding before his eyes. Unable to face the terror, he is reminded of the good man that he used to be and pays his penance.
What's this got to do with the Balance of the Force? This is pure speculation on my part but I want to believe that it has less to do with numbers (this many Jedi vs this many Sith) and more to do with the nature of what is considered good in the first place. Take the United States for instance. The country was founded on solid principles of fairness and justice. Over time, members of our government made choices that, while preserving our sense of justice on home soil, tended to cross the line in other lands out of sight of the American people. Essentially the American Way became synonomous with situational ethics. This bad thing we do over here is ok because look at all the good it preserves over there.
I think the Jedi got into that line of thinking as well. They knew that the Trade Federation was wrong with their blockade, but intead of rocking the boat and sending in a legion of Jedi to take care of it quickly, they take the diplomatic approach and play it safe. Same with training Anakin. The council appears to be frightened of the boy and that is the motivation to deny training. His development will destroy the status quo where they've all grown comfortable.
The Balance comes into the picture with someone who will remind them all about what true justice really is and what it is not. They've all seen how good it can be, but have forgotten how low humanity can go. The Emperor is a necessary and terrible reminder of the fallibility of man. Without his reign of terror, humanity would continue on a course of complacency, which we've all seen in our own lives recently to be a road to disasterous injustice to the powerless. Frank Herbert explored this very idea in GOD EMPEROR OF DUNE in which the Son of the Messiah evolves into a being capable of controlling the Universe. His own reign, not of terror, but of control, reminds humanity that they need to remain vigilant and not grow complacent. It is only through his ultimate death that humanity is freed once again to live life to it's fullest. The underlying thread of Star Wars rests on this very principle. That, I believe, is what the Balance of the Force really means, and why the Jedi fear it so much. While it means the ultimate saving of humanity, the path is sown with much pain and suffering and most likely, the destruction of the Jedi in the process.
