The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that District Attorney Amy Orlando criticized the sentences handed down last week as too lenient.
Orlando's prosecutors had pressed for prison time for 23-year-old Manuel Sanchez and 28-year-old Adolfo Corrales.
But Judge Fernando Macias sentenced them to five years' probation and granted deferred sentences. The deferral means the cases will be dismissed if Sanchez and Corrales successfully complete probation.
Each man pleaded no contest to three counts of trafficking cocaine. They sold the cocaine in 2010.
Orlando says she will keep pushing for prison time for criminals who put the community in danger.

As the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers puts the finishing touches on its enhanced $14.5 billion storm protection system for New Orleans, Corps and local officials see it as the best protection the city has ever had.
But some engineers and storm experts familiar with the system's history see something else. Something less.
They see a system that after Hurricane Katrina was downgraded by Congress from one that had to be strong enough to repel the "most severe" storm to one that had only to qualify for flood insurance, a much lower standard.
This story originally published by The Lens, an independent, nonprofit newsroom serving New Orleans. Continue reading full story here.

Ancient Apparition (Kaldr)
Type: Intelligence
Role: Ganker
Description: Kaldr, the Ancient Apparition, is an image projected from outside time. He springs from the cold, infinite void that both predates the universe and awaits its end. Kaldr is, Kaldr was, Kaldr shall be…and what we perceive, powerful as it appears to us, is but the faintest faded echo of the true, eternal Kaldr. Some believe that as the cosmos ages and approaches its final moments, the brightness and power of Kaldr will also intensify–that the Ancient Apparition will grow younger and stronger as eternity's end draws nigh. His grip of ice will bring all matter to a stop, his image will cast a light too terrible to behold. An Apparition no longer!
Ancient Apparition is a versatile spellcaster with the unusual ability to strike enemies at long distances. With practice, his Ice Blast can strike any point on the battlefield, and deals damage in a wide diameter. It's perfect for laying waste to enemies clumped together in a fight and allows Ancient Apparition to be an integral part of team fights even when he's on the other side of the map. Cold Feet is useful to slow the movement speed of targets, and if afflicted enemies can't get safely out of range within four seconds, they'll be frozen in their tracks. This is particularly beneficial in team fights because an enemy that is frozen is an enemy that can't fight back. Ice Vortex is another of Ancient Apparition's abilities that focuses on immobilizing his enemies. Ice Vortex condenses Ancient Apparition's frost power into a single spinning vortex of ice that slows enemies while they are standing inside it and increases all magic damage taken. But Ancient Apparition's spells aren't limited just to increasing his own effectiveness in battle. Chilling Touch enchants allied heroes and gives bonus magical attack damage to your teammates.

I saw something this week that read, "How big is Easter you ask? … Oh, it's only the answer to pretty much everything."
Amen, Amen! Jesus is the reason. Love it.
Also, perhaps we should tell Bennett everything is going to be okay … not to worry because Easter is about so much more than this silly old bunny and just for good measure, the Easter Bunny isn't THAT bad.
Poor guy, he was terrified! But seriously, Happy Easter Y'all. Eat some deviled eggs for me!

What we do
Our strategy is simple – we seek to give people who would not ordinarily meet the chance to do so, and we promote friendship and understanding between diverse communities. We have observed that by simply bringing people together and giving them opportunities to develop friendships, stereotypes are challenged and perceptions are changed. Much of the fear and prejudice that exists does so because we don't know people from other backgrounds, and Bridges for Communities wants to address this issue at the grass-roots level; to spearhead social change by creating spaces for positive interaction between people. As well as connecting people in this way, we work to support some of the most marginalised in society, namely asylum seekers and refugees. We also provide training for people who want to build bridges in their local communities, and we seek to share positive stories wherever possible.
We live in an incredibly interconnected world, but one that is also fractured and divided. Violence and fear between people of different faiths, cultures and nationalities seems to be constantly in the news, and at times it can be difficult to find positive stories of diverse people getting along well. Britain today is a diverse country too, with communities from many different cultures and faiths living side by side with one another, but at times having little meaningful interaction. There is a profound lack of understanding and trust, and this has lead to a marked increase in hate crime motivated by religion and ethnicity in recent years. The need to foster better understanding between people of different cultures and faiths has perhaps never felt more pertinent.
Sharing a meal together gives people from different cultures and faiths the opportunity to meet and build friendships.
We bring people together around religious festivals and feasts — like Ramadan and Christmas — to break down barriers and challenge stereotypes.
This project provides one-to-one support for refugees and asylum-seekers in Bristol, who may be isolated or struggling.
We help to support refugees who have been resettled in Bristol after fleeing the terrible conflict in Syria, through volunteer support and cultural awareness training.
We organise trips to connect people in the UK and the Middle East, facilitating opportunities for perceptions to be changed and for friendships to be built.
We provide cultural awareness training for working crossculturally, and refugee support training for groups working with refugees, asylum-seekers, and vulnerable migrants.
Dan is the co-founder and Director of Bridges. He leads Bridges' cultural exchange programs between the UK and the Middle East, as well as coordinating local initiatives and training in Bristol.
Based in Bristol, Sam is the founder and coordinator of b.friend, a project that provides one-to-one support for asylum seekers and refugees.
Karen is the latest member of our team, coming on board to help run the Syria Befriend programme and to provide logistical support.
Sarah and Mark are the Bridges representatives for Cardiff, Wales. They are also the visionaries behind Peace Feast!

tldr; Instead of giving up maintaining the NSR buyback and PPC reserve operation calculator because there is too much work and too little fun, I think why not ask for a grant and let the shareholders see the need to pay for Nu automation, and maybe thereby inspire a lot of other development and improvement.
BFRhngri9DLUnatcnhSJrZDk5J7u3Mhu5H , 440 NBT
Back in January @masterOfDisaster started the NSR buyback calculation thread and did manual calculation for several weeks. What it takes to do the calculation is to first understand what all the Nu liquidity fund components are and where to get the latest values, then get them from various sources, and do the calculation after understanding details like what percentage of which fund should be counted for what etc.
For reason I fully understand now @masterOfDisaster decided to end his free service. I thought then a one-off script could solve the problem for good, and for free.
As it turned out, after my calculator script was setup, which took on and off 6 - 8 hours, I find that buyback calculation not only takes running/posting once during the weekend, but also demands constant attention and action to changes in parameters and formulas in operations.
Except for the simplest changes such as updating the value and format of a parameter, most changes took longer than anticipated because they entailed detailed understanding the underlying rule change, adding new calculation, often with refactoring, and verification. All changes need to be documented. In last weeken I spent ~12 hours to make v0.7 right, which at times felt like a beast to kill because of the complexity and subtleties in relevant motions. I am sure more experienced developers can do it faster but for me this tips the balance.
I decide not to keep maintaining the calculator for free. To quote moD
I don't write so much only about a calculator though. I hope this proposal will make shareholders see better the need to invest in Nu automation.
Nu can cut cost greatly by automating routine manual jobs. I believe this is critical for Nu's scalability and long-term survival.
For example FLOT operations can be simplified by automatically generating sign'able tx to feed the gateways directly, based on current liquidity conditions. This should reduce recurring cost of FLOT by reducing their task to rubber-stamping in most cases where we already have the rules, not unlike B&C signers.
Other automation examples include NSR buyback, NSR auction, T1+gateway liquidity report, improving ALP etc. Automating a task also increases transparency, reduces human error, and acts as a rigorous review of the rules.
But who will do the automation? As I probably will get paid less as a FLOT member if I automate FLOT tx generation, there is a tangible reason for me NOT to automate it. Even I want to volunteer for altruistic reason, volunteering can only go so far. I don't look forward to losing a weekend days every time Nu has a liquidity evolution. I doubt how automating FLOT tx is doable as a volunteer project seeing how difficult to maintain the humble buyback calculator.
If developing and maintaining the automation tools are compensated, people will have incentives and assign these task a higher priority from "hobby project" to "obligation".
So here is the deal, I am giving Nu 60% off of the starter rate of a software developer -
1.I would like nushare holders to compensate for the "NSR buyback and PPC reserve operation calculator" development at 20 NBT/hour for 22 hours up to v0.7 (see this and this output), which consists of 6 hours of initial development up to v0.3, and 9 weeks' (Febuary 6 to April 4) total development time of 16 hours, for a total of 440 NBT. Upon receiving the payment I will opensource v0.7, and put the calculator on github. I will bug-fix v0.7 and go on with the weekly NSR buyback and PPC reserve ops calculation until two weeks after the voting of this grant starts, after which point I won't do more abovementioned calculations until the payment is received.
2.By approving the grant above shareholders also agree to pay up to 140 NBT per month at 20 NBT per hour (the same average rate since the initial release (22-6)/9*4) for me to:a) continue maintaining and improving the NSR buyback and PPC reserve operation calculator for 3 months, starting on the day when the grant or this motion is approved, whichever is later. The payment will be made a grant proposal at the end of the 3-month term.b) perform the weekend calculation run and post the result free of charge.c) do my best to inform the shareholders if my service is unavailable 48 hours in advance.
I will adjust the monthly rate for a possible renewal proposal for the next term based on work/time spent in this 3 month term.
If you support the proposal, please vote for
You're preaching to the choir if you ask me whether we should aim for more automation!I can't imagine running Nu soundly, let alone scaling up Nu without it.
I really appreciate your efforts and think your grant and motion are no-brainers with regard to whether to vote for it or not.
Thank you!
I've posted this link numerous times before, but it perfectly matches what this thread is about:
The open source bit is fine. The 140 monthly assumes a constant work load. Should shareholders concern themselves with how much work a given change to the buyback calculation would generate? We should pay you after the fact based on reported hours and say 'work no more than 10 hours a month'.
One may find it more appropriate to have a one-time payment for developmental and exploration efforts and then divide the workload among NSR FLOT members in some way.
No, but they should be aware, that they need to cover those expenses.Running a business creates expenses - the efforts to calculate buybacks manually or automatically being one of them.
Why do you think FLOT members are cheaper than mhps?
Not if we're paying mhps a constant rate. If we are paying a constant rate then all we need to do is make sure the work we require doesn't exceed the threshold of what @mhps is willing to do. How much under that threshold is irrelevant. That's why I prefer to pay for services rendered rather than an ongoing expense: so shareholders actually have a feedback loop when deciding what protocol changes to make based on cost of implementation.
Because the NSR group is more idle than the NBT group, and the NSR-only members cost about 400 NBT in total. mhps is right to ask for extra but there are ways to fit this in to FLOT NSR duties. If they feel they'd be underpaid it's their question to raise. Of course, I won't mind raising the overall FLOT compensation if it is found justifiable.
A constant rate has risks for Nu as well as for @mhps - if the work is less than expected, good for @mhps; if it's more, bad for @mhps!
What about leaving 1.) like it is and making 2.) a payment by FLOT up to x hours per month without further need to approve it.From an administrative point of view, the conditions in 2.) should be part of the grant, because this way there's no need to create and vote for a grant and a motion.This way x hours per month at a rate of y USD/hour can be paid by FLOT for the services @mhps (or somebody else - just in case somebody else gets contracted, because @mhps is unavailable) provides for Nu.
If for whatever reason the required compensation exceeds what FLOT is entitled to pay, a grant is necessary and is under full control of NSR holders.
I'd rather not mingle one service with another.If the NSR groups is more idle than e.g. the NBT group, the compensation for the NSR group should be lowered - or the compensation for more active groups should be raised; whatever seems appropriate.I prefer keeping services distinct from each other where possible; makes it easier to keep an overview for responsibilities and performance and it reduces (potential) conflicts of interest.
Basically this. I can't help but think that an average of the last couple months will not be indicative of future activity.
Well, then we can make it "up to z NBT per month" instead of "x hours per month" and the one who updates for the best price, can do it....only I don't like that approach for reasons most of us know - it provides an incentive to do the job bad while fulfilling the requirements.
@masterOfDisaster is right. Asking for a constant pay rate implies that I will accept any workload spikes. It's a significant consideration and I am not sure it is a good idea.I only used past workload to calculate pay rate. It doesn't mean I'd work the same number of hours per week in the future.
Right. There are much more to do in the future -- the comprehensive liquidity model, new reserves, new currencies ... Nu has just become able to stand on its feet by shareholders instead of by JL alone. Shareholders start to see endless possibilities to shape Nu and try to implement the ideas. The work will be endless.
Good idea. I put a motion there so that I can get paid at the end. But your idea has the same effect.
This would limit risk on both sides which I like. But the PM triangle cannot be cheated -- there could be situation that work cannot be completed on time. I hope this is acceptable.
I will be glad if someone can post a competing proposal to take over maintaining and improving at a better price. This includes FLOT NSR if they can come to an agreement.
Note that some updating/improving work is easy and can be shared by anyone with some programming skill (e.g. JL's BTC stash change), while some need keeping oneself updated of a thorough understanding of the full liquidity model and operation details. The later can take much more effort than most community members are willing to give as I observe. I certainly feel the per-month work is way more demanding than my BTC FLOT job.
I have updated the proposal. Please let me know how it is.
As you know I'm not a great fan of this because of centralisation (FLOT operating as a foundation) and transparency. To maintain transparency to the Shareholder, it requires FLOT to produce monthly or quarterly overviews of their books. Did you check with the team whether they are good with that?I would rather see a grant proposal after 3 months where you present your services to the Shareholders and justify the costs.
Producing report regularly is not a trivial thing to ask. I don''t want to single out this one proposal of mine. I think a procedure needs to be defined among individuals who produce work, the FLOT, and the shareholders. Such procedure shouldn't give too much discretion power to the FLOT, or burden shareholders with too many votings, or choke off contribution and innovation with too much bureaucracy. Maybe a dedicated thread should be open for this.
Anyway for this proposal, I am fine with being paid by a grant. Would you (and other shareholders) think this modification (bold) in 2a is good
The payment will be made by a grant proposal at the end of the 3-month term.
A few has tried, this is a topic with many questions and very few answers. It requires a certain consensus which will be difficult. That is why I asked in the first place when you presented this as payable by FLOT.
As said, I'm good with that hope it pleases other Shareholders too.
Modification applied to the OP. Any more comments and suggestions?
@cryptog , @crypto_coiner?
I see @cryptog liked PO. If there is no other comments I consider put the proposal on voting in 12 hrs.
I have added the B address and put the proposal on voting.
What about hashing it?If @assistant is asleep you can use Daology to conveniently hash motions or grants.

Where has the time gone! I have been AWOL but not idle, and I am finally finding time to catch up with all your blogs too :)
And finally.... Mum wearing it
Thanks for stopping by and taking time to read :)
Happy Sewing!
Dawn :)
Welcome to my Blog where I aim to chronicle and share my experiences in Sewing. My Wonderful Mum taught me how to sew many moons ago, but I hadn't sewn for many years until 2012 when my now husband and I decided to get married in Lapland.The only way I could create "The Winter Queen" image I had, was to make it myself. It re-kindled my love of sewing and have been sewing ever since. And yes, that is me in my profile photo…
You did such a wonderful job on mums dress. Suits her to a t! Ha! I just got a new Bernina too! Luv it!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Maureen! Glad you are enjoying your new Bernina also. I won't buy any other! xDelete
A great dress - it suits your mother beautifully, and certainly doesn't look bulky under the bust with all the layers. Yes, my overlocker doesn't like thick layers either, and I usually have to find another solution for these sorts of thicknesses. I wondered what you had been up to - renovations are hard work - we have got to face these soon. Love you new machine - 28 years is a lot of service, so this should be a lovely guilt free purchase.ReplyDelete
Thank you Sarah Liz. And I read your "Guilt free purchase" to husband.... Thank you haha :) xDelete
This dress looks great on your Mum! The fit is perfect! Congrats on the new machine too! It's always so much fun to get a new toy. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
Thanks Star! it's my favourite make for Mum so far and the new machine is fabulous!Delete
This dress looks great on your mum and fits her beautifully. What a pretty fabric. Love the colors!ReplyDelete
Thank you Tomasa. I love these colours also xDelete
Pretty dress for your Mom. You did a beautiful work :) Love the new Bernina :)
Thank you Hana :) xDelete

Information about Penn State Harrisburg African students, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Penn State Harrisburg student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Penn State Harrisburg.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines. Beyond consideration for Penn State Harrisburg African students, you may think about Aims Community College course lists for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Serialized Fiction Guest Post
Alex Shvartsman (editor of the Unidentified Funny Objects anthologies) was kind enough to host me on his blog. Check out my guest post, "An Ode to Episodic, Serialized, and Anthologized Fiction," over there.
"Today, these oral-tradition types of fiction are seeing a resurgence. Short form is a great way to dip into new and disruptive ideas. In this short-attention-span era, easy-to-consume is king. It makes financial sense, too – advances are dwindling (where they still exist at all), and many authors can't afford to spend years on lengthy, detailed novels. Readers now well-accustomed to the episodic nature of most television shows easily transition to stories written in a similar form. Finally, the ever-growing interest in genre fiction lends itself particularly well to series and anthologies."
Interview on Tech Raptor
Robert N. Adams posted an awesome interview on TechRaptor.
TR: Yeah and it doesn't seem … I've met more than a few developers who had games that were very simple. Your game, too, is a simple game. There's elegance in simplicity, [especially] if one of the things you're going for is a game that's easy to pick up and can be played really quickly. Simplicity is essential. That's a big credit towards [Heartcatcher]—it's just so easy to figure out all the basics of the game and just get a game done real quick.
EL: I like to say that it has emerging complexity. People have actually likened it to poker in some cases. You start getting into this, like … mind meld? Where you're trying to see into the mind's eye of your opponent.
TR: The meta-game. The game outside of the game. Every game has some element of that, but your game is specifically one of those games where it's really important.
EL: Yeah.
DreamSail Games Community Manager
Last but not least, I started working for DreamSail Games as community manager and PR for the soon-to-be released local multiplayer whirling robot battle to the death Blade Ballet. So excited about what the future has to offer!

Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. from Utah (PGRI), who operates and manages the Wintergreen Resort, acquired Wintergreen Real Estate Company and will merge it with Wintergreen Resort Premier Properties. Merging the two largest Wintergreen real estate firms and strengthening their connection to the Resort will benefit both buyers and sellers. Click here for a copy of the press release.
PGRI has been working with the Resort on major improvements to Resort facilities on the Mountain and at Stoney Creek, and the real estate merger offers further benefits. From PGRI: "What the partners [at Wintergreen Real Estate Co.] have done over the years is truly a life's work and an admirable one at that, and PGRI respects what has been created and the opportunities it affords families to create memories and bonds for generations. PGRI is excited for the possibilities and the future of the resort and the community. From the clients' perspective, it is business as usual for now with some exciting things to come." We expect that together, PGRI, the Resort, and the combined real estate company will develop new marketing concepts and programs to boost current property values and help sell properties.
A peaceful resort community in spectacular Rockfish Valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, close to Charlottesville, Richmond and Washington, D.C., Wintergreen offers year-round living inspired by seasonal magnificence in a combination of mountain and valley settings, both complete with world-class golf, tennis, swimming, miles of marked trails, and countless other amenities. The Wintergreen Resort and Stoney Creek have magnificent mountain views, sumptuous luxury, and the best recreation facilities in the mid-Atlantic. Spanning 11,000 acres on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains,Wintergreen has condominiums and vacation homes surrounded by winding trails, cascading streams and lush forests. All the services required for gracious living are nearby, including shops, banks, a UVa Medical Office, and world-class wineries and micro-breweries.
After almost a decade of careful planning and design, Wintergreen was introduced in 1974 by agents of Wintergreen Real Estate Company. Our agents have over 225 collective years of real estate experience in Nelson County and have been #1 in Wintergreen real estate sales for many years. As master planners of Wintergreen, we are the local experts in real estate and recreation.
Wintergreen Real Estate is the most established firm focused on Wintergreen, typically selling more homes per year than most of the other firms combined. Unlike other firms, we have two locations, each in the heart of the village it serves. Agents at either office can address all your needs. Our main location is at the entrance to Stoney Creek and offers not only real estate services, but also closing services like lawyers and a title company. Our mountain location is adjacent to the Wintergarden spa. The mountain office combines real estate offices, a cafe, and our state-of-the art Discovery Center with touch screen monitors you can use to explore the area. Adjacent to the Mountain Office we have created a park, open to all, with a fenced dog area, picnic tables, shuffleboard, and a bocce ball court. Visitors can check in at the Mountain Office rental desk to sign out equipment, free of charge.
We have embraced technology to better serve both buyers and sellers. We have up-to-date information with tools to anaylse and organize what you find. Unlike others, our site provides information optimized to a range of devices, like smart phones, tablets, and personal computers. We were the first to include a answer line, responding to text messages with information, and virtual reality, which enables you to point your location-enabled phone or tablet and see the listings nearby. Technology will never replace personal service from knowledgeable real estate professionals. Please use our site to explore our unique central Virginia community, but feel free to contact us at any time.
We are eager to apply our experience, enthusiasm, and professional dedication to your needs. Contact us today and we will put our team to work helping you find the perfect home for you and your family.

What are the communication plans for your Incentive Program?
Communication plans are an essential element of the success of your incentive program and one that often gets overlooked. As you develop communication plans, ask yourself these questions.
- Do your participants understand how the incentive program or engagement program they are participating in fits into the overall corporate strategy?
- Is there a risk that some elements of the program are being lost in translation or too open for interpretation?
If you are hesitating to answer any of those questions, then please read on! If you want to truly engagement everyone, you must make certain your new goals are understood from the start.
To start with, what are your goals? They may not be the same as last year. Are you simply looking for increases in revenue? Maybe you want to build more of a team concept in your corporate structure? How about creating a more collaborative work environment? A healthier workplace, perhaps? Do your employees feel that they don't get enough recognition? Then your engagement program may want to focus on peer to peer recognition elements. Or maybe you want to build on your channel partner sales department? Then you should consider adding on to your sales incentive program to incorporate your channel teams. Do you want to lower your ever growing health care costs? A Wellness program may be just what your organization needs.
Once your objectives are in place, then start the development of targeted, segmented messages based upon a participant's program, action, inaction, or earnings. Send generic messages that go to broader audiences. Both are required in support of each other. We suggest the use of as many communication channels as possible – email, direct mail, phone calls, surveys posters, etc.
Whatever your new corporate strategy is for the New Year, make sure you communicate this appropriately to everyone for the highest level of engagement. The greatest strategy or plans are nothing without proper execution, so communicate, communicate, communicate!
What are the best communication elements you have used, in your engagement programs?
I'd love to chat!

June 5 - 9, 2017
Class is Full, Waitlist Available
This summer, join dance lovers from across the country for 5 full days of ballet technique and repertory classes. San Francisco Ballet School's acclaimed faculty and special guests will teach participants in our beautiful studios with live accompaniment.
"An in-class experience allows you to enhance what you see on stage in the Opera House. Our students range in age and ability, from 16 years old to most in their late 60s and early 70s. Some of our students have never had a ballet class before, while other have had years of experience."
Who teaches the classes?
The following SF Ballet School faculty regularly teach the Adult Ballet classes: Tina LeBlanc, Jeff Lyons, Wendy Van Dyck, and Pascal Molat.
What if I'm not sure I will be able to complete the class?
We encourage you to attend and complete as much of the class as you feel capable of. If you need to sit out for the last combination or two, that's just fine, you're welcome to watch.
Can I watch a class before taking one?
Unfortunately we do not allow class observations. We encourage you to try it out and see if you like it. You'll have a much better understanding of the class if you're up and moving than by sitting and watching.
What happens if I'm late to class?
For the safety and consideration of all, studio doors will close five minutes after class begins.

Q&A: KC streetcar designer Luke Olson of HDR
At Wednesday's public streetcar meeting at Union Station, the city and its streetcar line designer, Omaha-based engineering firm HDR Inc., presented plans to date for the 2.2-mile, $102 million streetcar line.
The design of the project's tracks and stops — running along Main Street between the River Market and Union Station — is being managed by Luke Olson, HDR's central region streetcar director.
Olson said his experience includes several other streetcar projects, including work on the line in Portland, Ore.
He shared a bit about his involvement with the project and coming utility work with the Kansas City Business Journal.
On his involvement with the Kansas City streetcar:
"I've been involved since the start of the alternative analysis, was the engineering task lead during that process, and then also once it went into environmental, carried forward a similar role. (I'm) responsible for leading the engineering team and evaluating the potential issues and costs of the project."
On the final design process:
"Design is an iterative process. As you get into the details more, you find out issues or things — because you weren't looking at the details earlier — that come up that you have to solve, identify and work through in final design and come up with solutions.
"I would say, at this point, we've done our survey so we know where all the potential 'gotchas' are along the alignment, and our design team has been going through the alignment, working through those with stakeholders on stop locations and things like that."
On the design presented at the meeting:
"I think what you see here tonight is a fairly well-thought-out alignment and end design. It doesn't mean that we might not find some issue later on — traffic has been evaluated with what you see here — they've looked at the traffic flow and made sure they're maintaining a proper level of service. The stops have been looked at as far as grading and fitting in with the profile because we've got to make sure it's tangent track horizontally and vertically through our stops for compatibility with the platform and the vehicle. We've been working through all those details, and so, again, I think it's a process."
On the challenges HDR faces before utility work begins:
"We spent a lot of effort early on on utilities — that's usually the one that bites you on these projects. I've worked on over a dozen streetcar projects around the country, and utilities is the number one issue because above ground we can see what's out there just by walking around the corridor, so we got a good sense of what's there.
"But we've spent an extensive amount of time evaluating utilities. We've come up with composite utility drawings and sent that to the various private third-party utilities as well as (the Kansas City Water Services Department) and had them verify their infrastructure.
"That still doesn't guarantee you that you're not going to find something that nobody knows exists. But I think because of that work, we knew about most of those issues going into this, and we actually asked some of the utilities for feedback on our alignment.
"Once we got our alignment that we were comfortable with, we sent it off to them and said, 'Hey, look, we're willing to try to work with you, and we might not be able to move it over to the next lane, but if it helps you to move it over a foot, we could look into that.' So we got feedback from them and to the best of our ability will work through those issues."

The Settee Before & After/
So our lovely settee is the third completed project in our room. Besides really really small reupholstery projects, this was our first REAL reupholstery job. We felt ambitious taking on a tufted piece for our first but with all the helpful tutorials online... we were just excited to get started. We actually finished this project last Thanksgiving.
We found the settee on Craigslist years ago and I believe we paid $40 for it. Smaller benches and settees are my favorite things to look for on Craigslist. It's sad that I didn't get better 'before' pictures (this is the only one I have! sweet baby Trudy...) because while it might look okay above... it was DISGUSTING! All the dirt, grime and stains just grossed me out. The frame was broken as well as one of the legs. You could not sit on it (unless you were under 10 lbs :)). Nail heads were missing and there were holes in the fabric.
Finding the right fabric was HUGE and I wasn't used to the typical price range for upholstery fabric. I stumbled upon the upholstery fabric that we ended up using, towards the beginning of my search. I fell in love with the beautiful pattern, I loved the raised velvet and then the color combination is actually my very favorite. Navy and kelly green!? Come on! But I wasn't sure if I could find something that I liked just as much and for a better price. As my searching went on, I envisioned what it would be like to take all the time and effort in reupholstering the settee in a fabric that I liked for a better price and that's when I knew that I just had to buckle down and choose my favorite, something I LOVED. Better to be safe than sorry! And I've never regretted it. I absolutely LOVE the fabric.
I bought the fabric from an Etsy shop called FabulessFabrics and I really did get a great deal. Eight months later I saw these pillows pop up on One Kings Lane and realized even more that I scored big time.
The actual process wasn't too bad, but maybe it would have been worse if I didn't have my husband. I mean, he is the one who helped to get things so tight and perfect for the stapling. He also did a great job at taking pictures of the all the fabric while we slowly took it a part. It helped so much to be able to go back and look at the pictures as we cut different pieces to size and stapled. For the legs, we considered all options and in the end painting them black just seemed like the natural way to go. I'm glad we did too, it feels more unique.
I have to apologize for the awkward angles, unfortunately they are the best I can do for the space we are in. One day we'll have more room to spread everything out. I could have chosen to keep this settee wrapped up in the garage when we first moved in but I just couldn't. I love seeing it every day... even if it gives me a teeny tiny walk way between it and the bed!

Gravy train has run out of steam
I FIND it difficult to comprehend the enormity of the €75.6m cost to taxpayers of the expenses of the country's 883 councillors.
I accept and acknowledge that there are councillors doing tremendous and relentless work.
But it beggars belief as to how some councillors claim this huge payment in the present financial climate. More realistic capping should be put in place.

Great day..parade and fireworks were the best in recent memory..Thx to Ron and Chamber you all pulled off an amazing 4th!

Embroidery Patterns
I have cleaning out my inbox of cool stuff I find and email to myself. I found these embroidery patterns of Elizabethan Blackwork. Thank you Paula Katherine Marmor.

Another benefit of this is that if you enjoy applique designs but do not like the work of applying it by hand or with your basic sewing machine, you can find applique designs already programmed and created for you. Think of little Johnny's adorable tee-shirt with a multi-layered design of cars and trucks.

How Many Is Too Many? The Progressive Argument for Reducing Immigration into the United States (University of Chicago Press, 2015) argues that current immigration levels—the highest in U.S. history—undermine efforts to achieve a more economically just and ecologically sustainable society. Political progressives favoring a more equitable distribution of wealth, economic security for workers and their families, the preservation of other species on the American landscape, and the political empowerment of common citizens should support reducing immigration into the United States. By using immigration policy as a springboard to explore and clarify progressive goals and values, How Many Is Too Many? also contributes to current discussions about the way forward for progressive politics in America. For summary of the overall argument, see this essay in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Life on the Brink: Environmentalists Confront Overpopulation (University of Georgia Press, 2012) seeks to reignite a robust discussion of population issues among environmentalists, policymakers, and the general public. Some of the leading voices in the American environmental movement show how population growth is a major force behind our most serious ecological problems, including global climate change, food and water shortages, and the mass extinction of Earth's species. 25 contributors honestly explore difficult moral and political issues including abortion, immigration, and limits to growth, arguing that we must humanely reduce human numbers in order to preserve wild nature and build a vibrant human future. Contributors include Lester Brown, Dave Foreman, Stephanie Mills and Captain Paul Watson. Co-edited with Eileen Crist, with a foreword by Anne and Paul Ehrlich.
Virtue Ethics and the Environment, published in 2010 by Springer-Verlag and co-edited by myself and Ronald Sandler. A collection of articles that explore the connection between human character development and environmental protection. Essays discuss new theoretical approaches to environmental virtue ethics and apply this approach to a variety of issues, such as simple living and anthropogenic species extinction. Makes the case that an ethics of character is an indispensable part of an adequate environmental ethics.
Environmental Virtue Ethics, also co-edited by Sandler and Cafaro, published in 2005 by Rowman and Littlefield Press, was the first collection of philosophy articles in this burgeoning subfield of environmental ethics. Environmental virtue ethics presents a positive vision of people living well in a flourishing natural world, challenging the presumption that environmentalism is primarily about restraint, sacrifice and "thou shalt nots."
Thoreau's Living Ethics: Walden and the Pursuit of Virtue (University of Georgia Press, 2004) provides the first full, rigorous account of Henry Thoreau's ethical philosophy. In it I place Thoreau within a long tradition of ethical thinking in the West, from the ancients to the romantics, and explore his value for contemporary readers keen to answer the perennial ethical questions: How should I live my life? What is my proper place in nature? How can I be a good friend, neighbor, and citizen?
Attached below are some of my more interesting scholarly articles, along with a full curriculum vita.

The Arab World's 1989?
As German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently said, 'when it comes to human dignity, we cannot make compromises.'
In crises, the old is dying and the new has not been born. Hence, the revolts we are witnessing in Egypt and Tunisia, which may yet extend to other countries in the region, are full of uncertainties. But we in the West should stand by our core principles. As German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently said in Munich, "When it comes to human dignity, we cannot make compromises."
The revolts in the Arab world can lead to historic changes. The people are tired of their corrupt autocracies, which never offered them a...

This past weekend was the start of Toronto's Winterlicious. If you're not sure what that is for you fellow Torontonians, it's described as a "culinary celebration". Hundreds of restaurants (including many high-end ones) offer a prix fixe menu for lunch and dinner. Lunch ranges from $18-$25 whereas dinner range from $25-$45. My boyfriend and I decided to go one of the Oliver and Bonacini establishments, America. I think my favourite part of the restaurant was the decor - especially the washroom. I usually don't stage my photos that much for Instagram but when I went to the washroom and saw the Audrey Hepburn quote on the wall, I knew I had to take a photo. There actually was towelettes and a box of Kleenex on the glass shelf which I ended up moving just for the photo. Thankfully my boyfriend didn't notice how long I was in there for.
I've been waiting over a year to wear this outfit. I received the skirt as a Christmas present from my parents in 2014 and have been trying to find the perfect pieces to go with it since then. Now that I finally purchased all the pieces of this ensemble, no better place to have it than a Valentine's Day Lookbook! I absolutely adore the gold lip prints, there's just something about gold print on black that draws my attention. The weather was warmer than usual but it was also windy so that is why my hair isn't perfectly placed and why I don't have as many photos as I'd like!
A little behind the scenes of taking photos:
