The Problem:
The Alberta tar sands are the largest industrial project on earth. They are Canada's fastest growing source of carbon pollution. And they're damaging the land, air, water, climate and the health of First Nations and other communities. In November 2015, the government of Alberta announced a sweeping new climate change strategy that if implemented, would include a cap on climate pollution from the sands and put a price on carbon pollution. Without such a cap in place, Canada will be unable meet its commitments to cut climate pollution.
The Solutions:
1. Cap tar sands pollution:
Tar sands climate pollution cannot continue to grow indefinitely. That's why the Alberta government's promise to put a hard cap on tar sands carbon emissions is so important. We will work with the province to ensure this plan becomes written into law without delay.
2. Reduce our use of fossil fuels:
To ensure a better, safer and more prosperous future for Canadians, we must move quickly to reduce our economy's dependency on fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry while ensuring a just transition for workers into a clean economy. It's time to build a low carbon, clean energy economy that doesn't damage our environment.
3. Apply a climate test:
A climate test must be applied to all proposals for new energy infrastructure in Canada. This test should measure projects against government policy, such as the federal government's commitment to do its part to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and Alberta's proposed cap on tar sands. Projects that undermine Canada's efforts to cut carbon are not in our national interest.
4. Clean up the damage:
We must also clean up damage that has been done. That means cleaning up the massive tailings ponds, which are leaking toxic liquid waste from the tar sands into the Athabasca River. It also means reclaiming much more of the land that has been disturbed by industrial activity. To date, only 0.15 per cent of land disturbed by the tar sands has been certified as reclaimed.

I think its pretty awesome looking... how's the time put into vs digital colors?
Interior page, watercolor over inks. Experimenting more to see if this is viable.
I think its pretty awesome looking... how's the time put into vs digital colors?
Thanks TG! Honestly, I couldn't answer that since I don't really do digital. But I can work fairly quickly with watercolor. Especially with heavy inks, the watercolors are almost like flatting.
Works for me. I would think that a page should not take you more than 3 days (Pencils, inks, & colors). Otherwise I would reconsider.

Looks really good - the inking is really nice. The feeling of wind and cold comes over really good, the feeling of altitude as well.
Here and there I'd be tempted to add a bit more to the blacks, like the horse in panel two - just to make things a little clearer/dynamic. The horse's snout might be a little clearer with fewer highlights - it looks good, but might be more solid with more defined blacks.
Looks great, and more importantly it looks different.

Yeah, that isn't any "real" animal. But kind of a mountain buffalo.
That looks awesome! I never got to master watercolors. What kind of inks are those that they don't wash out with watercolors, and what scanner did you used? The image looks sharp as hell.
Thanks aclouis, appreciate it.
I use speedball superblack India ink for the most part. With rapidograph pens for the finer details. But any decent quality India ink should do to trick as long as you let it dry before applying the watercolors.
Scanner used is a Mustek A3 USB. Does a decent job and scans 11x17"

No rhyme or reason - just a handfull of contacts are NOT on the phone. I can't make a connection to "Groups", with/without an e-mail or phone#, etc. It just seems completely random. 2. Battery life is horriible. I'm talking about draining to nothing in a few hours (This is a separate issue I will look into). Regarding gmail contacts, it seems that it is constantly doing a Contact Sync - and DOES NOT STOP. Any ideas on these issues? Thanks, John

The slick, eight-page newsletter from the Lodge at Torrey Pines arrived in the mail at San Diego homes early last week. Featured on the seventh and eighth pages are gorgeous photographs of the Torrey Pines golf courses with the accompanying text:
Beginning early next year, the North Course at Torrey Pines will undergo a renovation that will bring it to the level of excellence required by the PGA Tour.
... In the North renovation, greens will be restructured with the average golfer in mind, and bunkers will be strategically placed. Work is expected to begin around February 1, 2005.
Hmmmm. Very interesting. An amazing work of prescience, really, considering the North Course project hadn't even been approved by the City Council's Natural Resources and Culture Committee. That didn't happen until a week ago, and from there it still needs to go to the full City Council for a vote later this month.
Except this is much more than oops. This example of either ignorance, arrogance, or both, is the very reason public golfers in San Diego have so little faith in democracy when it comes to the Torrey Pines golf courses.
"It is my understanding this is a hearing to discuss the various issues," Dale Peterson, the immediate past president of the Torrey Pines men's club, told the NR&C committee last Wednesday after showing them the Lodge's newsletter. "This piece here says it's already a done deal."
Of course it was a done deal, because the Lodge, the Century Club, the pro shop and the men's club at Torrey Pines had signed off on it long before the meeting. As with the renovation of the South Course, a carefully orchestrated campaign had been mounted to educate the small, influential groups that needed to be swayed, and when that was successful, the NR&C's approval was a mere formality.
The Lodge knew that, and no doubt produced its full-color brochure without a qualm or a clue.
Herewith lies the dilemma at Torrey Pines. It is becoming increasingly difficult to discern who's running the show.
There are at least 14 constituencies that have a stake in the two courses: local golfers, tourists, City Council, Park and Recreation Department, pro shop, Lodge, Hilton, Century Club, men's club, women's club, PGA Tour, San Diego Junior Golf Association, USGA and the local 2008 U.S. Open committee.
Forgive us if we've overlooked a nudist society on Black's Beach.
The point is: If Torrey were paper, it'd be in shreds because so many special interests are pawing at the supposedly municipal facility.
City Councilman Michael Zucchet may be one of the few people at City Hall who truly gets it when it comes to the passion everyday golfers feel for Torrey Pines. It is Zucchet, a Torrey Pines men's club member and 6-handicap who learned to play on the course, who was instrumental in getting the North's radical overhaul reduced -- he hopes -- to a "maintenance" project to replace the aging greens, along with bunkers and tees.
"That question (of special interests) is part of all of these discussions," Zucchet said. "It's first and present with these North plans. I asked 10 times, who's asking for this? Is the PGA Tour threatening to pull the (Buick Invitational)? No. The USGA? No. Are the (public) players asking for it? No. I was told, `Because we think it's a good thing to do.'
"I think it was because (course architect) Rees Jones thought it would be a good idea, and the people at the Century Club did. Nobody else was asking for it."
Zucchet's problem is that he's not a greenskeeper, so he can't argue when the grass experts tell him the greens aren't draining well and need to be replaced.
Those who golf at Torrey North only know that the well-maintained greens have rolled fast and fair. For three years, they have been vastly better than the South's greens after the renovation's sodding problem.
It's likely the public golfer would go happily along playing the North for years on these greens. Instead -- and no matter how closely city officials stand over Jones' shoulder -- the North will never be the same.
"If they do too much with it, the course won't offer the same type of play it does now," said Noah Manning of Pacific Beach, after playing the back nine on the North yesterday. "I wouldn't mind some minor adjustments, but nothing major.
"Only God can give you a gift like this course. People like coming over here and playing it because it's fun. The USGA will come here (for the U.S. Open) in 2008, but then they're gone after that. They already made huge changes on the South, and if they make huge changes on the North, the people who play it will be left with the changes and have to deal with them."
San Diegan John Oden, 80, who's been playing Torrey for 20 years, had similar thoughts.
"If I were recommending, I'd recommend doing nothing," he said. "The next-best thing is to redo the greens only. I understand the greens are old and will go bad if they're not replaced. They say the drainage isn't very good. So if that's the case, get new greens. But the bunkers are fine where they are."
Anybody who thinks the North's greens are going to the barber shop for a trim off the top is badly mistaken. It's a frontal lobotomy. Just watch. When they're done, the greens and the bunkers around them will more resemble the South's than anyone now imagines. Isn't that the very point made by the Lodge's brochure: "The renovation ... will bring it to the level of excellence required by the PGA Tour."
When the renovation is done, and the North's 18th hole has been pushed 40 yards north to open up space, the lobbying for a new clubhouse will begin, with a projected finish in the winter of 2007. Conveniently, that's well before the city's Big Players will show it off at the 2008 U.S. Open. Again, there are special-interest fingerprints all over that one.
Zucchet, the public golfer, is genuinely, deeply concerned.
"When some interests don't mesh with those of the daily player, I think the entities most listened to are the USGA or the Century Club or some other very well-intentioned entities," Zucchet said. "There needs to be an attempt to shift back to the attitude that this is a municipal golf course at the end of the day. I want to make sure that's the case."
In the meantime, golfers, remember this: Unlike the South, you are paying for the North's $2.5 million to $3 million renovation with your green fees. Barring private funding, you will be paying untold millions for the clubhouse, and probably a driving range.
So in 2009, when the freeze on greens fees is lifted a year after the U.S. Open, you need to scream at the top of your lungs if the city tries to raise your greens fees after spending its considerable surplus on North Course "maintenance" and a new clubhouse you didn't ask for.
At the very least, get a crystal ball and start your own newsletter. It really works.

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) — Southwest Airlines said it expects to cancel 300 flights on Sunday as the airline continues its inspection of 79 of its Boeing 737 aircraft, in the aftermath of an emergency landing of one of its planes two days earlier.
The move, confirmed by company spokeswoman Whitney Eichinger, follows the cancellations of 300 flights by Southwest on Saturday.
At Bob Hope and Los Angeles International airports Saturday, about half of outgoing Southwest flights were canceled or delayed.
Eichinger says the company hasn't made a decision about the status of flights on Monday.
"We are working as diligently as possible to minimize any impact on (customers') travel plans," Eichinger told The Associated Press.
The aircraft will be inspected over the next several days at five locations, the company said.
No one was seriously injured Friday as the aircraft carrying 118 people rapidly lost cabin pressure and made a harrowing but controlled descent from 34,500 feet, landing safely near Yuma, Ariz., 150 miles southwest of Phoenix. But passengers recalled tense minutes after a hole ruptured overhead with a blast, and they fumbled frantically for oxygen masks as the plane descended.
In a release issued Saturday, Southwest said the passengers on board Flight 812 have received a full refund along with an apology and two complimentary round-trip passes on Southwest for future flights.
On Sunday, federal investigators examining the damaged plane in Yuma said the entire length of a 5-foot-long tear in the skin of the aircraft shows evidence of pre-existing fatigue cracking.

"The elderly"
About: Lister Hospital Lister Hospital Stevenage SG1 4AB
Posted via NHS Choices
I feel very very let down with the standard of care that my Dad received while he stayed in your Hospital. After being transferred from another hospital for breathing problems to contacting two chest infections, and C-Diff and then dying in the space of three weeks does not make any sense what so ever. And some of the medical team didn't seem to care for his needs. To be left in the corner of a ward not knowing what was happening just makes me feel so frustrated. I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy, to sit with my Dad and watch him take his last breath is heart breaking. It was like he's 86 so let him go don't worry about him,
Response from Lister Hospital 3 years ago

From the Anderson Independent Mail:
Those who like to fish at Lake Hartwell should think twice before eating the fish they catch. The state Department of Health and Environmental Control has issued an advisory list of fish not to eat for 2011. Certain fish are contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), according to David Wilson, chief of the health departments Bureau of Water.
According to the advisory list, no fish caught from Twelve Mile Creek and the Seneca River arm of the lake should be eaten. The state also recommends avoiding striped bass from the remaining waters of Lake Hartwell.
Herb Burnham, president of the Lake Hartwell Association said, One of our happiest days will be when we can take the dont eat the fish sign down.
Read the entire article, by Genelle Williams, here.
After all of the warnings about the Catabwa River which was listed as the most endangered river in the country in 2008, and the reality that there are coal and nuclear plants on its banks, as well as countless other industries that use it as a toilet ... I don't know why North Carolina isn't also advising our state's fishing population to be very, very careful about the fish they catch and eat.
I live near Mountain Island Lake, one of the lakes on the Catawba Norman and Wylie are two others in the Charlotte area and witness people fishing along its banks all the time. What I don't see are any warning signs advising fishers of anything. I can only assume that many of them don't read or watch the news, or maybe they're hungry enough to avoid the warnings ... which is possible.
Of course, they can certainly check out the state's fish advisory website, assuming they have Internet access which, in this economy, is assuming a lot.

First Team News
City's time is now - Sylvinho
Sylvinho West Ham
Manchester City's Champions League time is now.
That is the view of former Barcelona and City defender Sylvinho ahead of next Tuesday's Champions League last 16 first leg at the Etihad Stadium.
The 40-year-old Brazilian admits City face a daunting task against the Catalans, partly because they are in excellent form and partly because they have home advantage in the second leg.
But Sylvinho, now assistant boss at Inter Milan, has been impressed by developments at the Etihad Stadium over the last few years and feels they are mature enough to defeat Messi and co.
He said: "Barcelona is getting better results now. From my experience in Champions League, I think that Barcelona are the favourite because they play the second leg at home and is not easy to win a tie there.
Of course Inter and Chelsea did it but it's difficult. I remember that during my five years in Barcelona we were keen to play the second leg at home."
"But City is improving every year in the Champions League, which is normal, and I think that they can beat Barcelona. I think that City can put two great performances.
"City has great players and a very good manager and their time is now. Maybe before they weren't used to play Champions League but now it's a very strong team and they can beat Barcelona.
"I think it will be a very open tie and I'm really looking forward to it because it will be great to watch."
Sylvinho played one season for City, making 15 appearances in the 2009/10 campaign, when the club narrowly missed out on qualification for the Champions League.
But a dressing room message from chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak after the final game that season made Sylvinho realise just how focused on success the club were.
He added: "It's so nice to see how City is doing now and the model they are implementing. To be honest, I didn't expect City to be so professional. I thought they maybe give up if things weren't going their way but it is completely the opposite. I'm so proud to say that City was the last club I played for.
"I met a lot of nice people there and of course I still speak with Zabaleta. I speak with him regularly and he is a very good person. I have very good memories of my time at City.
"On my season there I remember that we lost the fourth place to Tottenham and Khaldoon came into the dressing room saying very good words to each player, speaking highly about the manager and explaining that City was a long term project.
"It was unbelievable to hear that on that specific day - when we didn't qualify for Champions League. I realised then that they were serious."

Beauty and the Beast 2017 remake
Her out of Harry Potter and him out of Downtown Abbey reinvent Beauty and the Beast Discuss this article
Anyone who has ever spent a lazy afternoon perusing Ewan McGregor's filmography, wondering why on Earth he has never played a talking French candlestick, can finally rest easy.
Though those folk are surely legion (just us?), the makers of the new, live-action version of Disney classic Beauty and the Beast can also rest easy that the demographics for this month's blockbusting retread are somewhat more diverse. Make no mistake: 2017 may well have a new Star Wars, a new Spider-Man and a new Guardians of the Galaxy up its sleeve, but this will be the year's biggest movie.
If its director is feeling the pressure, he's doing a fine job of not showing it. "I didn't feel that much pressure," says Bill Condon, of Dreamgirls and Twilight fame. "But only because we didn't drop anything. The original is so beautiful as it is. The score is iconic and great, but also perfect! So this wasn't a case of wanting to come at it from a different angle or to reinvent the wheel. This was translating it into this other dimension, into a new medium, really – a photo-real, live action film – and then filling it out. It was about translation and expansion, not reinvention."
And so it is that Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens is unrecognizable under Beast make-up, Luke Evans is the dastardly Gaston and, yes, Ewan McGregor is Lumiere, the computer-generated candlestick, among a starry cast that also features Ian McKellen, Kevin Kline and Emma Thompson.
All of them, of course, are just window dressing to Emma Watson's Belle, the young girl bitten by love. "When she walked on set in that yellow dress," says Condon, "Genuine goosebumps. She's taken something that was so fresh 25 years ago and brought it right into our time."
Beauty and the Beast is in cinemas March 16.

Isaiah 45:7
I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all
The best place I can go when dealing with this passage in Isaiah, which at face value is admittedly challenging, is the story of Joseph. Joseph's brothers commit a heinous crime against him, and would have killed him if not for Reuben. Their intentions are later described as evil in what is, in my opinion, the clearest passage for reconciling human responsibility and God's sovereignty. Genesis 50:20 says, "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today."(ESV) So, as best as I can understand and explain it, the intentions of man and the intentions of God run parallel. They intended destruction, God intended restoration. The intended evil of Joseph's brothers brought about, ironically, their salvation. God's plan was ultimate and good, their plan was temporal and evil. Now, they are not let off the hook just because God brought about something good from their evil because their intentions are described as evil over and against the good intentions of God. In other words, there is no shrugging of the shoulders, "all's well that ends well", because Joseph maintains the right judgment that his brothers intentions were evil. Now, in the bigger picture, this event with Joseph leads to the enslavement of Israel by the Egyptians, an evil act, which leads to their deliverance, a good act. God even claims that he raised up Pharaoh to show His power and his name proclaimed. Temporal evil running parallel to ultimate good is a theme that runs throughout the entire Bible, the statement by Joseph just makes it about as clear as any. This theme has to be considered when you read a passage like Isaiah.
So, we look at incredibly heinous behavior of people today, like your example of children's hands being chopped off, and we bristle at the idea of God being in control of that. But a Christian can look at it and say, "Evil plans exist alongside the good and ultimate plan of God in a way we only get a glimpse of in the story of Joseph. But he is also a wrathful judge who has promised to make all things new and punish those who practice evil and has called us to deliver the oppressed from the hands of evil men." Christians can both hope for the ultimate future but also have reason to fight evil now. See, we have a resource and a measurement that doesn't make sense of evil in the moment, but is the temporal and ultimate solvent for it. Without an ultimate judge, god, or measurement, how can you even maintain that an act is objectively evil? Because you don't like it? Because it hurts someone else? These are merely preferential in the absence of some form of absolute measurement. I would rather trust in the one who has shown he can use temporal evil for ultimate good than believe in space + time + matter = that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
The central claim of Christianity is that God used the most evil event in history, the slaying of the innocent God-man, to bring about the salvation of sinners. So anyone familiar with Christianity is familiar with the greatest parallel of evil intentions running alongside the good intentions of God. If I believe in the claims made in the Gospels then I can trust God means good in all things, no matter how heinous they might be. So yes, He creates calamity, because it is by the greatest calamity that I've been saved.

Vayne Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi everybody :D
This is my very very first build, so be nice and give some feedback :3
I'm gonna talk about VAYNE THE NIGHT HUNTER.
She's a ranged ad champion, with excellent harrassing/ganking skills.
some of my scores:
Pros / Cons
- Excellent solo-laner
- Takes down tanks without much work
- Great Harrass/Ganking
- You're a hunter of evil beings :o
- Loses passive mov. speed when not facing enemy champion
- Dies fast if focussed on in teamfights
- Drains loads of mana(if you don't use glyphs of clarity)
Skill Sequence
: pretty obvious skill -> get 3 stacks on the target to unleash alot damage.
: Again, a very multisided ability -> you can stun their carry's by bashing them against a wall/tower so you & your team can kill it. Also, when you're being stalked by a champion, you can just knock 'em back and use Tumble for a clean escape.
: Bonus damage + quadruple the mov. speed from your passive. Who doesn't like chasing?:D
I went for a 21/9/0 mastery, with points in arm. pen and increased critical damage(see items for reasons :D). And the 9 in defense for just that little bit of extra defense + dodge/mov.speed.
For the runes I chose:
Greater Mark of Desolation x 9 : pretty obvious -> more penetration = more damage = more win!
x 9 : more dodge, makes your movement speed from the defense-tree trigger, making you able to escape faster and dodging damage
x 9 : Like most ad-carry's, Vayne gets slight mana issues if you use Tumble & Condemn alot, so for the bit extra mana regen :D
For the quintessences I think you can make 2 choices:
x 3 : gives you a nice health boost from the start -> easier to live at early game.
OR you could max arm pen. using Greater Quintessence of Desolation x 3 which will make you more squishy at early game, but with more damage in the entire match.
For the start, I go with (see item list, I think it's pretty obvious.)
I do would like to point out that you can change boots, but I like , because with Vayne, YOU WILL GET FOCUSSED and you'll need that 35 tenacity.
Also, is a godlike weapon for Vayne, it boosts all her skills and makes you that much stronger versus anything :D
If you get across a more annoying team( and many more) that can actually kill you, I'd suggest you take a to escape the stun/slow/fear/whatever.
Summoner Spells
I go with
can help you out alot against enemy champions like
or whatever. Also increases your chase-grade by alot :D
is pretty obvious, it's an epic escape mechanism and you can combine it with for max escape/chase combo
You also could go with / or ignite/ , but I find a bit useless on her, because of her - combo.
Of course, the is a perfect killing-spell, but since you have +160 mov speed from I'd suggest you don't use it n.n
That was my build of
I hope you'll enjoy her as much as I do :D
Leave your comments/feedback below and I'll try to improve my build <3

What Defines an Ethnic Story?
When you read any story that has a large amount of a particular culture in it, you are reading an ethnic story. It is a story that reveals much about a culture though the story usually through trials that particular ethnic group faces. Typically they are written by minorities about their trials and tribulations. Ethnic literature gives the world a glimpse into sub-cultures.
Understanding Ethnic
You could say that every story is an ethnic story. Every story takes a reader into some culture, real or imagined. There could be a very valid argument about that, but a true ethnic genre story is one that is immersed in the culture, specifically in the culture of a minority group.
Let's say that I am reading a story that is about the struggles of a young girl trying to make it on her own after college. Sounds like it could be a chick lit, but what if I put it in Spanish Harlem? Now, it is more than a chick lit. It is now an ethnic story. Everything about the story exposes the reader to more than just the story of a girl standing on her own two feet. Now, it shows me the culture from gender relations, family relations, and more. I get a peek into a society I do not belong to.
A story about a couple struggling to stay married can be an ethnic story when it goes outside mainstream America and explores more of cultures that most aren't familiar with. Ethnic stories explore cultures and the people that live in them. It talks about their struggles and how they fit in the bigger picture of the world around them.
Ethnic Literature
Ethnic literature is basically works that center on the life of people from specific ethnic groups. It doesn't just have ethnic characters. The work goes into their homes and their culture. It explores the challenges they face, the trials they endure, and the successes they achieve.
It all began in the mid-1800s when American minority groups began to produce their own literature. With more educated minorities voicing their thoughts and dreams, a new world was opened up to the public. A former slave writing of his experiences was popular in all areas of society. People wanted to read these narratives. They might not be accepting the person in society as an equal, but they wanted to read of their experiences. The minority voice was being heard for the first time.
Former slaves and others began to write actual novels that were not stories from their lives. Native Americans even produced their first works. Mexicans penned their stories. And as immigrants from Europe, such as the Irish, arrived, they produced works that added to the number of ethnic literatures available.
The hidden world of other ethnic groups became open to the general population. The stereotypes were found to be fictional in many cases. So much was learned about other cultures.
Crossing Genres
You rarely find a section in a book store that is labeled 'Ethnic'; I have seen a few, but they are rare. To compose an entire section of ethnic literature would be difficult considering it would include any ethnic story from Chicano to Russian to Indonesian. It seems more appropriate to classify an ethnic piece by format first- Pablo Neruda goes in poetry although his work is immersed in Latino culture, and Michael Chabon, an author whose works largely involve the Jewish community, would go in fiction. They are more a of sub-genre as the ethnic story doesn't usually make up the largest part of the plot.
Most heavily ethnic books will advertise themselves as such. They will let the reader know ahead of time which culture they could be diving into as they start to read. The synopsis plays a big role in helping the reader see where they are culturally.
What ethnic stories have you enjoyed in the past?
Expansion of Ethnic Literature
Ethnic literature is nothing new, as we have stated, but it is becoming more in demand by readers who see the opportunities such writings can give them. Audiences are expanding beyond the ethnicity of the author. More marketing is being poured into them. Ethnic literature is becoming a major genre with an ever growing readership.

Flame-haired beauty looks every inch the saucy secretary, in Brentwood, California this last Sunday. The Mad Men star is obviously so into her character of raunchy receptionist, Joan Harris, that she feels the need to dress in a similarly sexy style during her time off-set. No complaints there: just check out this stunning lady in red as she strutted her stuff.
Christina Hendricks is what makes those men mad, seriously. She seduces them with those incredible curves until they are certifiably mad. Would you like to see more pics of the gorgeous Christina Hendricks?

Shi, Q., Li, T., Zhang, X., Wang, B. et al., "Measurement of Temperature and Soot (KL) Distributions in Spray Flames of Diesel-Butanol Blends by Two-Color Method Using High-Speed RGB Video Camera," SAE Technical Paper 2016-01-2190, 2016, https://doi.org/10.4271/2016-01-2190.
Taking advantages of high speed RGB video cameras, the two-color method can be implemented with a relatively simple setup to obtain the temporal development of the two dimensional temperature and soot (KL) distributions in a reacting diesel jet. However, several issues such as the selection of the two wavelengths, the role of bandpass filters, and the proper optical settings, etc. should be known to obtain a reliable measurement. This paper, at first, discusses about the uncertainties in the measurement of temperature and KL distributions in the diesel flame by the two-color method using the high speed RGB video camera. Since n-butanol, as an alternative renewable fuel, has the potential application in diesel engines, the characteristic of spray combustion of diesel-butanol blends under the diesel-like ambient conditions in a pre-burning constant-volume combustion chamber is studied. The Red and Blue channels of the high speed video camera are chosen for the two-color imaging because their response curve has a much smaller overlap. When adding the n-butanol into the neat diesel, the experimental result shows that the flame has a lower integral level for both flame temperature and soot density than neat diesel flame, owing to both increases in the fuel-borne oxygen and elongated ignition delays. In order to study the effect of LTC (Low Temperature Combustion), the ambient O2 concentration is set at four levels: 21%, 18%, 15% and 12%. The results show that with the decrease of O2 concentration, the flame temperature has a dropping tendency, while the KL (soot density) factor has a complicated behavior as a result of soot oxidation rate variation.

I haven't seen this set in person and was interested in picking up a used set if I can replace the gels filters if needed in the future by cutting the 3x3 filters to fit if necessary. Thanks, GP

Existing Version Booze 4 Less in Lincoln : Home My version: _ Project two was again seriously low on budget, helping out the same friend - A plumber wanted a website but wasnt exactly sure on what he wanted, these were my concepts. Really not very impressive but tried to put myself in the position of a customer - what would I actually want to find out from the website, I decided that a few points + corgi was all that really mattered. Imagery is just for concept purposes and the logo text/font on the second was due to existing business cards etc.

I had a lot of self conflicts, but I began to really see a positive behind everything. My main issue I was dealing with was my jealousy.
Um, I'm sort of new to all this myself, but my question here is what your fiancé means by "open marriage". I think there's an important nuance between that and poly. How do you feel in general (situation about G aside) about his being emotionally tied to someone else v. just sexually tied?
She knew about me at the time and determined that there would be no future with him because of the situation and she wanted to say goodbye, in person.
Around that same time, C mentioned that G had been talking to him privately about how she felt that she needed someone who could give her themselves fully, but she didn't want to let him go.
This doesn't sound like she's into the idea of poly and would not support being a mono with him being poly to me. And I'm highly suspicious of "wanted to say goodbye in person," honestly.
From what you've described, this, to me, doesn't sound like a healthy situation. I applaud your research and his openness of communication with you - but this other woman doesn't sounds supportive of your relationship, which as I understand the construct, means she's not really a good addition to your lives together.
Best of luck to you!

Terriers go back for Williams
Huddersfield are back in for Barnsley full-back Robbie Williams after ending an interest in Jamie Mullan.
Last Updated: 22/08/07 9:25pm
Huddersfield Town are back in for Barnsley full-back Robbie Williams after ending an interest in trialist Jamie Mullan.
Williams was close to joining The Terriers earlier in the summer, only for an injury to put the deal on hold.
However, Huddersfield boss Andy Ritchie has confirmed that talks have been resumed as he looks to seal Williams' signature.
"I can confirm that talks have been taking place between the two clubs," Ritchie told the club's official website.
"I have never made any secret about being interested in signing Robbie, but it is crucial that the deal is right for the club."
Deal not right
Though Williams could become a Huddersfield player, Mullan has failed to convince Ritchie he is worthy of a deal.
The former Manchester United winger, who trained with Derby in pre-season, has not been offered a contract by The Terriers.
Ritchie added: "Jamie has got something about him, but he still needs to develop at this stage and it wouldn't be the right deal for the club or the player.
"We need someone who can slot into the side straight away and so we won't be taking things any further."

It's definitely about settlers in South Africa around 1910. People tried to find their fortune in the gold and diamond mines. However, one day the gold was gone, and the people went away.

Benihana - Houston - Downtown Ratings and Reviews
I had reservations for 2p on November 5th. I was seated promptly, but no one came to take my order, so I had to go back to the front and tell the hosted. We waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to take drink orders, took another 5 minutes to bring my drink. I'm disappointed at the service especially when I'm a frequent patron at benihana's
That was my first time and I had my bday party there,it was everything.I had never been to a restaurant and everyone there was so nice and they made sure that any questions that I had to ask they,we're ready to answer,now all I can think about is when are we going back to Bennihanas again, everyone loved it though and I promise we will be back soon
I have been to Benihana restaurants in the Bay Area, LA and Irvine, Monterey and beyond. However, the one in Houston was by far the most disturbing and disappointing dining experience in a very long time. We were celebrating a friend who had been visiting Houston for medical treatment, and because of past experiences I thought this would be a safe bet. It wasn't!
The problem: the appetizers arrived after the main course was served; the food was over-cooked; the sushi/sashimi combo looked like hacked up fish... not even sliced properly; the snow-crab literally was served as the bills were being presented; the cook was the least experienced of the bunch, but all of them were not skilled at Teppanyaki cooking... they were boring at best; we were handed our bill without even being asked if we wanted dessert; the bathrooms were disgusting, and there was toilet paper all over the floor which was tracked throughout the restaurant; nobody once bothered to ask how our meal was until after I payed the bill. In summary, this meal not only left one of the people in our party feeling sick all night, but it was a reason for me to never visit ANY Benihana ever again.
I would have to rate this restaurant a low 3. I had reservations for 8:00 PM with the total guest of nine. Two groups met up for my daughter's birthday celebration. The first group was early and was not allowed to be seated, we where about 6 minutes late due to unforeseen traffic issue not even near downtown. When my husband dropped us at the door we were still not allowed to be seated because he was not there, he had to go park. When we all were there they indicated they did not have a table available. Hostess (who seemed sick or mad she was at work) asked us to be seated in the bar and get out of the front entry. when I went back to check why we were not seated since we had reservations the manager said "oh aren't you the one that was late?" I just looked like I can't believe you even said that. At 8:26 we were finally seated and then the manager became nice. Had a great Chef name Julie! Waiter lady seemed very tired or didn't want to be there. Overall it was way too loud we couldn't even talk and hear each other let alone the chef. I would probably never go back maybe try different location. I did see someone take a picture of my birthday girl but we never got the photo they just tried to
get us out of the restaurant.
Our Chef, Cody, was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE. He said it was his first day. HE WAS AWFUL and should not have a second day. 5:15 reservation and we did not leave until 6:50. That's only because I asked for the check before the food was done because we had Rockets tickets. I cannot stress how very bad our experience here was. When you make your reservation, it's worth doing what you can to ensure you have a seasoned, experienced Chef at your table.
Our waitress would disappear for 20-30 minutes at a time, leaving our beverages empty. Our chef had to leave the grill to get bowls due to our waitress being so slow. The party a table over had a speaker that they brought with them. They turned this up to the max and were vaping in the restuarant. The management only asked them to stop vaping and said nothing about the music. Overall not a great experience.
Everything was great. Went with my cousin and aunt for my cousins birthday but I guess cause I was the odd one out they assume I wasn't paying and didn't give me as much attention as everyone else. Everyone got refills and I had to wait till my glass was empty and I was already eating the ice. Didn't get the cheery service till after they saw me grab the bill to pay
It was unbearably hot! I understand you have to sit by the grill but the air needs to be adjusted somehow. Very unhappy that we had to have two extra folks join our table. We already had a party of seven adults, celebrating 2 birthdays and an anniversary with drinks in hand on the table. They chose to to set a father and young child at the table with us making 9. The table right beside us, seated about the same time, only had 6. They could have easily sat them there. I understand their method of seating 8 to a table to get the most out of their chefs show, but 9 at those tables is way to small!! Very frustrating and took away from our celebration. Next time, I will make reservations for 8 and pay for the extra spot! Our chef and waitress were wonderful and did everything they could to accommodate.
Arrived on reservation time for a birthday dinner with my family only to find we were unable to be seated at our table for another 30 min. Normally this would not have put me out too badly. However the place was so packed with people the only waiting option we had was to stand on the street corner. It was clear that the staff was not managing their diner traffic in any way as the restaurant has that "hot & sweaty" feel due to too overcrowding. Unfortunately, we ended up leaving to try and find a place that could accommodate a family party of five at 8:00 pm on a Saturday night. Pretty much ruined the night.
I usually go on my birthday every year to Westhiemer location but decided to try downtown for 1st time. Made reservations, had to still sit for an hour. Once seated chef never came out for a while, waiter said they didn't peel enough shrimp and they were having to do so. Got dinner that ice cream and tea comes with it. Waiter comes at end said no ice cream because freezers are broken and didn't offer hot tea??? Will never go back to thus location again. .For these issues we should have at least got a discount. Worst experience at Benihana I ever had.
Because of other negative reviews, we almost canceled our reservation for 8. I am happy we decided on keeping it. After the flooding, options were limited. We were seated immediately on arrival. Our server was patient with our talkative group. The cook put on an entertaining show and the food was on par. After dinner the birthday person was given dessert and the severs sang happy birthday in English and Japanese. Afterwards the server took a group picture and gave us 2 copies. Resteraunt was not overly hot and noise was expected for a busy Saturday night.
Been several times, usually enjoy the food but space is always a premium. The hibachi tables are very cramped and they pack you in.
Today, I ordered the Hibachi Scallops and Rainbow Roll. The sushi was great, but my scallops were very overcooked and rubbery.
This restaurant has great service, but is in desperate need of a deep cleaning and update.
This is a special occasion type spot, if you like hibachi, because it's entertaining to watch the chef cook in front of you. Considering the amount of butter and other seasonings they put in, you would think the food would be flavorful, but I think it's bland without the dipping sauces. The chicken, I believe is white meat, is a bit on the dry side, but the filet mignon is tender (I'm not a fan of their terriyaki chicken, but to each its own). It's also pricey, but you do get a generous amount of food.
I love Benihana - but the hostess who works the front of the room at the downtown location is a deal-breaker for me. She is loud, rude and completely unhelpful. We had two reservations (a party of 5 and a party of 6 - booked through Open Table) When we arrived at the restaurant, she told us she could only seat us as a party of 8 and a party of 3. And instead of trying to work with us on it, or explaining the configuration, she pretty much said we had to take it or leave it. Since we had a large party and it was already noon, we took it, but I wasn't happy. I then found out that the 8/3 seating was ok. Our parties were adjacent. If the woman at the front had explained it that way, instead of being obstinate and rude, i wouldn't have been so angry at the start of the meal.
Once you get past her, Benihana is a good experience and our servers were top notch. But since that hostess is the first person customers interact with, I can see her turning away a lot of business. She is terrible.
We have taken my daughter, now family of six, to Beni-Hana for my daughters birthday celebration for the last 36 years. I truly believe this was one of, if not the best, dinners we have enjoyed at Beni-Hana. The young man who prepared the meal was fabulous and our server took of all of our needs, even before we knew we wanted them. Awesome evening!
The restaurant was really hot. Very uncomfortable. Food was not served correctly. Everyone ate at separate times. Shrimp and salmon were soooo over cooked. They were both left on grill for over 15 minutes. Never got hot tea. We remembered after the fact. MEAL WAS VERY OVERPRICED. AND THE RESTAURANT NEEDS A FACELIFT. WE WERE THERE EARLY (5) AND THE FLOORS LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE EMPTIED TRASH ON THEM. NASTY.
Our reservation was at 8:30 didn't eat until about 10:15.. our waitress was horrible she kept forgetting everything she made ordering very difficult by asking unnecessary questions confusing the whole table.. our shrimp was overcooked. I think the chef was tired. His performance was very lame. Out of all benihana experiences this was the worse. The last time I came to this location the chef was drunk or buzzed cuz the whole table smelled him but we had a good time cuz he was a goofy drunk.. but overall my family and I may have to switch locations for the benihana outing.
This is our second time at Benihana. We have two young kids and they loved it, the teppanyaki chefs went to extra effort to engage the kids and joke around with them. It's my 4yo daughter's favourite restaurant now. The food itself is delicious - excellent cuts of beef, well cooked and tender, and the seafood (scallops and lobster) also fabulous.
