From the 21st:
- I was in some sort of class where we got assigned in two-person groups to color countries in for a large map; I requested Panama (which was the shape of Ecuador) but my partner and I got Argentina, which we grudgingly accepted.
- There was a new Calvin & Hobbes book out; I started into it; it started with several pages of regular comics, and then a bit later there were lots of large, colorful but subdued paintings of the characters, each filling up a whole page or at least half of one, with accompanying text.
- I was waiting in a sunken moat-like space, only a few feet wide, along the north wall of a fluorescent-lit room (long east-west) with a few other people; the moat's walls were of brick, and I think there were some plants in the moat too, and maybe some standing water. A pile of orange paperback textbooks (looking like telephone books, just orange) accumulated along the south wall over time while we were there.

With most radio stations here in Australia you have a choice of software (WMP or RP) to stream their programs - but <http://2gb.com/> only offers Realplayer. For me I cannot get their streaming and I cannot find out why. Other radio stations that stream with Real Player I am able to enjoy namely <http://2ch.com.au/>
BUT yesterday when not able to receive <http://2gb.com/> I asked a friend in London to try if he could access their streaming and he could listen at the very same time as I could not. So there is nothing wrong with <http://2gb.com/> end, but a setting I would imagine my end that prevents me from listening to their streaming.
Question: Why can I listen to one radio station that uses Real Player and not the other?
Thanks, would be please of a reply.
Kind regards,

The main reason, that I am interested in FOXFUR, the new film by Damon Packard, is Kristine Caluya, who plays the landlord. Caluya's most recent film appearance was as a bikini waxer in the horror flick DETENTION (2011). Next year she will be Sunlyn in the much more interesting DIRTY MOVIE (which near as I can tell will not be a dirty movie). In 2001 was Michelle Ang's body double in the finale of XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS.
Why Caluya is listed in XWP as a "body double" and not a stunt woman, I do not know. Body doubles are usually used for nude scenes. I have watched "A Friend In Need" and Michelle Ang is not required to be substantially nude anywhere in the episode. I think Caluya substitutes for Ang when Akemi is set on fire and then trapped under the ice by Yodoshi, but doesn't that make her a stunt woman? (Caluya was not credited in either part of the episode, and is not listed as one of the stunt persons.)
Here's how Packard describes the new film:
"Foxfur is about a disturbed young girl…who is gradually transformed into a female Robin Hood. It's about things like conflicting realities, belief systems and extraterrestrials but essentially I think it's mostly about 'The Dead Zone,' which is the "proposed" period we're in now. The strange time where everything has reached a brick wall and is recycling itself, turning in circles, desperately cannibalizing itself for even a modicum of inspiration. It's an end of the world within the end of the world, a "schism" of reality that occurred after 1982, which on Dec 21, 1982 at 11:11am is when the world really came to end. Since then we've been living on the residual fumes of the cosmos."
FOXFUR deals with aliens from the Pleiades. (Why he doesn't call the star cluster M45 I don't know. It would be easier to say and spell.) Packard alleges that it derives from another film of his called APPLE that he directed in 1995. That one was about a girl named Apple who grew up to be a witch named Orb.
New Age philosophy is lost on me.

TOPEKA, Kan. — In an effort to lure employees to live in Kansas' capital, Topeka city leaders are offering up to $15,000 to move there.
The Choose Topeka program will pay $10,000 to people who move to the area and rent; and $15,000 to those who buy a home and set up primary residence, the Kansas City Star reported.
"Choose Topeka was created with the intention of investing in employees to live and work in Topeka and Shawnee County, so that we may foster an 'intentional community,' one of community support builders," Barbara Stapleton, with Go Topeka, an economic development group and a sponsor of the program, told KDVR.
Go Topeka, which is part of the city's Joint Economic Development Organization, will split the costs for the incentives with employers, the Star reported.

The president of Japanese advertising group Dentsu is to step down over what the government has deemed the "death by overwork" of a 24-year-old employee.
Tadashi Ishii, who has been president since 2011, said he would resign at a board meeting in January in order to take full responsibility.
"It is extremely regrettable that we could not prevent overwork by a new recruit," he said in a news conference last Wednesday.
He also said Dentsu and a company employee had been referred to prosecutors by the Japanese labour ministry's Tokyo labour bureau on suspicion of violating labour standards law.
A Dentsu spokesman said it has not decided who will replace Ishii as president.
In December 2015, 24-year-old Japanese woman Matsuri Takahashi, who worked for the advertising agency's digital account division, committed suicide after having logged around 105 hours of monthly overtime in October and experienced mental breakdown the following month.
The Mita Labor Standard Inspection Office in Tokyo ruled her suicide as "death by overwork" last year.

Our Lady in the Temple
The solemn dedication of the Church of the Mother of God near the Temple in Jerusalem took place on November 21, 543; this felicitous association of the Mother of God with the Temple supports the ancient tradition of the Blessed Virgin Mary's presentation in the Temple as a child. Saint John Damascene -- interpreting the Holy Name of Mary as "Lady" -- tells us that the "Lady of every creature and the Mother of the Creator . . . first saw the light in Joachim's house, hard by the Pool of Bethesda, at Jerusalem, and was carried to the Temple."
Secundum Verbum Tuum
In the hidden recesses of the old Temple, the Holy Spirit prepares the new Temple, the all-holy Virgin, to become the Mother of God . She who is destined to be the living Temple of the Word dwells in the Temple of the Old Dispensation. She hears the chanting of the psalms, the prophets, and the Law. Was it there that she learned Psalm 118, the long litany of loving surrender to the Word? And was it from Psalm 118, held in her heart from so tender an age, that she drew her response to the message of the Angel, "Be it done unto me according to Thy Word" (Lk 1:38)?
There planted in the Lord, the dew of His Spirit made her flourish in the courts of her God, and like a green olive she became a tree, so that all the doves of grace came and lodged in her branches. (Saint John Damscene, Upon the Orthodox Faith, Book IV, ch. 15)
Virgin Mother of the Lamb
There she smells the fragrance of incense and burnt offerings. There she observes the faithful of Israel streaming towards Zion, filling the Temple, seeking the Face of the Lord. Priest, altar, and oblation are not unfamiliar to the Virgin who, gazing upon her Son, will recognize in Him the Eternal priest, the Altar of the New Covenant, the pure Victim, the holy Victim, the spotless Victim offered in unending sacrifice.
To Belong to God
In the seventeenth century -- the age of France's "mystical invasion" -- the mystery of the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple captivated the hearts of Monsieur Olier and of others on fire with zeal for the holiness of the priesthood, for the beauty of the consecrated life, and for the worthy praise of God. The so-called French School of spirituality, marked above all by the imperative of adoration and the virtue of religion, gravitated to the feast of November 21st as to the pure expression of the desire to be offered to God, to belong to God, and to abide in God's house.
Virgo Sacerdos
When, in 1641, Jean-Jacques Olier (1608 - 1657) established the seminary of Saint-Sulpice, he placed it under the patronage of the Virgin Mary in the mystery of her Presentation in the Temple. The Child Mary, hidden in the Temple, learns the meaning of sacrifice and oblation; she is the sacerdotal Virgin, prepared by the Holy Spirit to stand at the altar of the Cross united to her Son, High Priest and immolated Lamb. Under the influence of the French Sulpicians, many religious congregations, established after the horrors of the French revolution, chose the feast of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary as their foundation day, the day of religious profession, and of the renewal of vows.
In Domum Regis
Today's proper liturgical texts lead us after the Holy Child Mary into the mystery of the Temple. "The daughter of the King is clothed with splendour; she is led to the king with her maiden companions" (Ps 44:14-15). Holy Mary fills her eyes with the splendours of the Temple and there discovers the beauty of belonging to God alone in the splendour of holiness. Even today, she draws others after her. "Listen, O daughter, give ear to my words. . . . So will the King desire your beauty" (Ps 44:11-12).
Lovely and Pure in the Sight of God
In all her beauty and innocence the Child Mary stands before us to tell us that we, like her, are called to be lovely and pure in the sight of God. We are the object of His desire. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ: As he chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity" (Eph 1:3-4). The Father would have us abide in the Temple of the Mystical Body of His Son, listening to His Word, and singing His praises in the sweetness of the Holy Spirit.

holiday excitement
About this time every year, anticipation has become the tradition at Blue Rain Gallery. All of the staff, including myself, awaits the announcement that new work has arrived. Someone yells from downstairs "Jim just brought in his new pieces!" Then there is a shuffle of chairs and the sound of wood creaking as we all congregate to behold the marvelous creations. For Randall LaGro and Victor Goler's work it is the same. It is like Christmas at the gallery the whole month as the work pours in for our winter show. We all sit around choosing our favorites, pointing out the subtleties and hidden figures in Randy's work, or the facial expression on one of Jim's figures that seems so familiar. We all have a spot picked out in our home for a piece by Victor on our mantel. We all enjoy our little fantasy for a few minutes until reality slowly creeps back in, and all we are left to imagine is the new home to which those pieces will go. What matters to us is that for those few moments the works feel like they are ours. It never ceases to amaze any of us how involved we all feel; how attached we are to both the artist and their artwork. Like a family- we are all personally invested in this business. That is what makes working at Blue Rain Gallery so special; sharing that excitement and our traditions with you. This holiday season let us remember those feelings of excitement, those feelings of joy and happiness. It is those feelings that make this time of year special for all of us. From our family to yours; Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

When my alarm went off at 4 a.m. last Sunday, I tucked down deeper into my pile of blankets and thought, "I'd much rather not."
It was the morning of the Philadelphia Marathon, and it would be my 10th full marathon. I ran my first, also in Philadelphia, in 2011.
In between, I've run dozens of 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathons, two ultramarathons and written a book about running. I've switched largely to running on trails now, so why would I pay $143.10 to run 26.2 miles on pavement that morning when I could have just gone out into the woods for a few hours, without a 4 a.m. wake up call, free?
Well, first, because it's there. I live 10 miles from the start line, and I'd run a 50K six weeks before, so I was relatively sure I could cover the distance.
But second, because I have found, even in marathons that have gone horribly wrong, where my legs have turned to mud and I have limped and cried along the course with many miles still to go because I went out too fast/didn't train enough/or my body just didn't want to move anymore, that there's magic in the marathon.
It doesn't just come from training for months to test your body in a physical challenge. I could do that on my own. With a marathon, that magic comes from every person who cheered me on because they know me, and every person who cheered me on because they don't. It comes from the running club whose members dressed up in unicorn and bear costumes to give out free beer (which I took). It comes from the Mother Bethel AME church choir, which decided to bring their service onto the marathon route this year, from the band that played funk somewhere out near the Please Touch Museum, and from the D.J. who blasted R.E.M. at the 20-mile mark. It comes from every single person who made a sign showing the Philadelphia Flyers' new orange-haired mascot, Gritty, and from the kids who put gloved hands out to runners for a high five, and from my mom, who not only met me at the halfway point with dry gloves and fresh hand warmers, but also walked a half marathon herself getting to different spots in order to cheer.
Marathons, especially city marathons, are a big party, and one that keeps going even when you don't want to, when everything inside you screams to just stop, even though you need to get to the finish line somehow.
That was me when I ran this marathon in 2011. For the last six miles, I alternated between walking and running and hobbling to finish. Not on Sunday though. In the last stretch of the race, at the same spot when I crumbled in 2011, when my legs started to pinch and I was sure I could fall asleep if I just sat down for a little while, I kept going, kept running, fought every urge to stop, and as I steamed up Kelly Drive to the Philadelphia Museum of Art with its steps made famous by Rocky, I held strong, and I crossed the finish line with a face-breaking smile.
Sometimes when I step back to look at my running, the whole thing seems absurd. I spend an awful lot of time and energy — and money — to do a thing at which I am mildly good. But oh that black magic, it has me coming back.
I thought maybe I'd be done after my 10th marathon, put a nice round cap on it. But I'll be back — I hope for 10 more.

His father Meer Taj Mohammed Khan moved to Delhi after the partition of 1947. His mother Lateef Fatima, was the daughter of a senior government engineer. They had a restaurant and several other business ventures in Rajendra Nagar, Delhi. They had a middle-class life, where they used to dwell their life in a rented apartments. His father died of Cancer in 1981 and his mother died in 1991 due to diabetes. After the death of his parents, his older sister Shahnaz Lalarukh has taken care of SRK.

Though, the production of this serial delayed and so he appeared in 1989 series Fauji, which also considers his debut TV serial. Since then, he has worked on several TV shows like Wagle Ki Duniya, and Circus.
At the early days of his career, Khan used to think that he wasn't good enough as an actor. But, he chooses acting and went to Mumbai, so that he forget the grief and pain about his parent's demise. When he landed in Mumbai in 1991, he was offered Dil Aashna Hai by Hema Malini. Interestingly, he also got Deewana movie, which also stars Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti. Deewana is considered his first movie as it was released earlier in 1992. As this film was a success an so thus we got our King Khan. After that, he did a number of negative roles like Darr (1993), Anjaam (1994) and Baazigar (1993).
He then appeared in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), which turned out to be the biggest blockbuster of his acting career. Soon after that, he is regarded as the king of Romance, which still he is. After that, he worked in romantic movies like Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Mohabbatein (2000) and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham… (2001). He also worked in critically acclaimed films like Devdas (2002), Swades (2004), Chak De! India (2007) and My Name Is Khan (2010).
After that, he did movies but none of them were as per the expectations. These movies are Chennai Express (2013), Happy New Year (2014), Dilwale (2015), Fan (2016), Raees and Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017). He will next be seen in Aanand L Rai's Dwarf movie. In his Bollywood career, he has won 14 Filmfare Awards. He was also honored with Padmashri by Government Of India.

Sweater Weather
This soft, chunky cable knit cardigan (a blend of cashmere, lambs wool, nylon and angora) is at the top of my list. I love the oversize buttons—they give this "traditional" sweater a modern twist.
Mr. Peacock adores this colorful reverse stitch knit cardigan with corozo nut buttons. Turning a traditional fairisle sweater inside out inspired this colorful pattern. This colorful hand knit sweater would be very welcoming on a gray winter day.
This chunky black and brown sweater looks like it has a shawl collar, but is actually a hoodie. How cozy would that be on cold and windy autumn days? It also comes in a gray and brown version.
This dark gray "grandpa sweater" has a shawl collar and pockets just like grandpa's, but an off-center zipper front modernizes this beauty. It's also available in a light gray.
I love the color combination of this beige wool sweater adorned with swallows and folkloric design. The wrong colorway could have easily made this sweater a bit kitschy, but this palette shines with sophistication and personality.
This black and white wool cardigan looks like a beautiful handmade vintage sweater. The chunky zipper pull makes it modern and functional.
You don't' have to herd reindeer to appreciate the pattern on this contemporary cardigan in tones of gray.
Mr. Peacock always looks forward to sweater weather and wearing sweaters, maybe it's due to growing up in a cold climate with snow. What are you looking forward to wearing this autumn?

I have a wonderful chunky sweater coat that I adore once old man winter comes a blowin...but I really love my new orange cords which look great with so many colors. You found a fab collection of fun cardigans.
I have a leather, zip front cardigan, that I love too- when I want to look one part soho city slicker.

Mr Peacock I love a chunky sweater but do you not find that living in a city and having central heating means there's little option to wear one?

You see a lot of Cowichan sweaters up here.

Happy Autumn everyone....
Hi pve design...
your orange cords sound spiffy!!!
That's not my age....
You're lucky...with central heating
you have the luxury to wear
flip-flops year round inside
your home, but these old flats
with radiators are still drafty!
Many San Francisco flats
still have radiators
(as did my apartments in Manhattan).
They are either too hot,
or not working at all.
I actually had a couple "tapped-off"
at my place for functionality—
so I can get more stuff in the room.
I don't mind wearing a sweater,
but my feet still get cold!
How are you?
Oh what a beautiful sweater!
The new sweaters just can't compare
to the real Cowichan work! Wow!

Marijuana enthusiasts and law enforcement don't agree on much. But there is one point both concede: Louisiana's marijuana laws are exceptionally strict.
Caught with a small amount of pot? Face up to 20 years in prison on your third arrest.
And even though a medical marijuana law has been on the books since 1991, it's essentially meaningless because the state hasn't developed guidelines to cultivate and distribute the drug.

The X-Cite Vitae vIR illumination system from Excelitas Technologies offer high-power white light, tunable RGB control, as well as ultraviolet and near infrared wavelength options.
LED lighting is all around us, in our homes and offices, in our streetlamps, and in our car headlight. However, LED light sources are relatively new entrants in certain pockets of the medical industry.
Within surgical visualization and endoscopy, LED light sources are replacing xenon lamps, said Mark Gaston, product manager at Waltham, MA-based Excelitas Technologies. "[Visualization and endoscopy] are seeing a lot of LED applications replacing xenon. It is definitely moving away from xenon into LED," he explained.
Excelitas's new X-Cite Vitae vIR illumination system offers high-power white light, adjustable color temperature with tunable RGB control, and a high color rendering index (CRI). The system, which is intended to replace 180W or 300W xenon lamps in the endoscopy and surgical suites, is customizable for various illumination and diagnostic applications.
"This platform . . . has every control that you can think of, visible in the form of RGB," said Kavita Aswani, PhD, senior applications scientist in Life Sciences at Excelitas. "When you're observing a certain pathology, you want a particular white light balance that the surgeon is accustomed to, or that the camera chip can read. This product allows you to adjust that color according to your preference," she added.
Visit Excelitas Technologies at Booth #364 during the BIOMEDevice Boston Conference and Expo, May 3-4.
The X-Cite Vitae vIR illumination system also offers ultraviolet (UV) and near infrared (NIR) wavelength options in addition to RGB/white. These wavelengths can be used to excite specific surgical fluorophores, including indocyanine green (ICG) and protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). ICG, which is used to label blood, is excited by IR light. It can be used in diagnostics and gives surgeons a way to visualize and avoid cutting blood vessels. PpIX is known to accumulate in brain tumors and can be visualized using UV light, potentially enabling more complete tumor resections.
The medical industry is moving toward LED light sources for a few key reasons, including a longer lifetime, a more consistent intensity, less heat generation, and less variability than xenon bulbs. There are certain benefits to xenon lamps, Gaston pointed out, such as higher power or a broader wavelength range. "[Xenon] will go up from 200 nm to 900 or 1000 nm, so [it has] a very wide gamut. If you do need that type of range . . . you can't do that with LEDs very effectively," he said, adding, "from a power standpoint, I think LEDs are now at a standpoint where they can replace about all of the applications that xenon would normally get involved in."
|The OmniCure LX500 spot curing system uses LED.
LED is replacing mercury lamps in spot curing applications for the medical industry, too. This shift happened years ago in the electronics and automotive industries, Mike Kay, director of product management in Industrial Curing and Biomedical Lighting at Excelitas, explained, but the trend has taken longer to reach medical applications because of the field's stringent regulatory requirements.
Makers of medical products that feature the curing process, such as catheters or syringes, have to ensure that the new manufacturing process is equivalent and reliable. "As they switch to LED, they have to basically reprove that [the curing process] will work, and in some cases they have to change the adhesive," Kay said. "It is work on their part. It's taken longer, we definitely see [the shift] coming now."
The move toward LED in spot curing is motivated in part by the stability of the irradiance level seen with LEDs, improving the repeatability of the curing process. Kay pointed to the Intelli-Lamp LED technology included in Excelitas's OmniCure LX500 spot curing system as a feature that automatically monitors and stabilizes the LED's optical output for repeatability.
In addition, LEDs last a long time and generate less heat, a meaningful feature since the parts being cured are often plastic.
Kay urges device makers transitioning to LED spot curing to prioritize testing. "In order to prove that your process is going to work with LED like it worked with the mercury lamp, you need to test it," he emphasized. "There's nothing you can get out of a data sheet that will tell you that you can do that replacement and it will work."
Key issues to consider in testing include ensuring that the wavelengths of the LED match the adhesive's absorption spectra and measuring the transmission of the parts to confirm that enough light reaches the adhesive to enable curing. Though device makers are responsible for qualifying their processes, Excelitas offers helpful resources like a material testing lab and initial testing with adhesives.
Device makers and others in the medical industry contemplating LED have numerous issues to consider before making the switch. Aswani advocates working with a company with experience in these factors. "Where our expertise comes in is, we have electrical teams, we have optical teams, we have mechanical designers, and we have software integrators to be able to put together a whole package, so that you don't have to worry about taking care of the heat, you don't have to come up with your own controls," she concluded.

(Above: Change in extreme precipitation events in southeastern U.S., from National Climate Assessment 2014).
Whatever your take on projections of sea level rise and global temperature increases (I'm extremely worried: these things are happening and we are responding much like the 2014 UNC Tarheel football defensive unit responded to threats, which is to say, hardly at all), and whatever your beliefs about the likelihood of future droughts in the southeast (I don't think the data support any confident predictions one way or the other), it's hard to ignore the trend to increased extreme precipitation events (see banner image above). The graph shows percent changes in the annual amount of precipitation falling in very heavy events, defined as the heaviest 1% of all daily events from 1901 to 2012. The far right bar is for 2001-2012. In recent decades there have been increases nationally, with the largest increases in the Northeast, Great Plains, Midwest, and Southeast. Changes are compared to the 1901-1960 average. (Figure source: NOAA NCDC / CICS-NC).
This trend makes the law and policy of stormwater management more important than ever before in this country, region and state.
It's not necessarily helpful to analyze water law problems in ownership terms, as I've discussed already in Part 1 (groundwater) and Part 2 (channelized surface water) of this series. But many people, Americans at least, can't help themselves from trying to see problems through the lens of property law. Judges and legislators in N.C. have also long been afflicted with this property law primacy. So I've learned, pardon the phrase, to go with the flow on this question of "Who Owns the Water?" Water, like wild animals, makes for its own interesting perspective on property law. It can teach us that our commonly-held notions of what it means to "own" something are not always accurate or adequate.
So in this post I will wrap up my discussion of "Who Owns the Water" by plunging into another murky part of the pool: who owns the stormwater? In other words, when it rains, who owns the water that falls before it makes its way into the channels we call "intermittent" and "perennial" streams, or else before it infiltrates into the soil to become groundwater?
When people ask "who owns the water?" they are almost invariably thinking in terms of water scarcity and wondering "who gets to make beneficial use of that water?" There is an aspect of stormwater law that concerns itself with this side of the question, but it's not an aspect that the law in North Carolina (or other eastern U.S. states) cares much about, simply because the rainfall is historically so plentiful here. In some western states, however, faced as they are with chronic water shortages, there has been litigation over the question of who has the right to use a catchment system (like a rain barrel) to capture the rain. After all, when the water is scarce and "fully appropriated," meaning someone has a legally defensible property right to whatever is in a stream, it's of more than academic interest to ask whether someone else is entitled to prevent rain from entering that stream. I'm not aware of any such legal debates in N.C. history, however. So if your interest is in whether you can capture stormwater in a cistern or a rain barrel, I'm confident the answer is, in N.C., "yes, as long as it's on your (real estate) property" and "subject to regulation to avoid creating a nuisance or a risk to other persons from shoddy design or construction."
The more interesting and problematic side of stormwater is: who's responsible when runoff from your property injures me or my property, either chronically with bad drainage or occasionally with floods? This is the aspect of property ownership that most people forget. Owning something means more than just having the right to make beneficial use of that thing. It also means responsibility for the damage that thing causes to other people. Stormwater presents this problem very directly, and has ever since the early days of urbanization, when hard roofs and compacted streets ("impervious surfaces") worked their magic: keeping the residents in the house dry and improving mobility, while at the same time increasing and sometimes diverting the flow of stormwater onto other people's real estate.
The basic, modern legal answer to this question in North Carolina is "reasonable use." Private property owners are subject to an obligation to make "reasonable use" of their lands when it comes to stormwater, meaning they can take whatever steps a court might deem reasonable to divert that water from its natural path. Pendergrast v. Aiken, 293 N.C. 201 (1977) (involving culverts under Allen Avenue in South Asheville). The N.C. Supreme Court in Pendergrast reviewed the history of stormwater liability in North Carolina, noting that the early civil law rule of keeping water in its own channel had been overcome by numerous case-by-case exceptions, and adopted what commentators had come to call the "reasonable use" approach. Although the Pendergrast court hoped this rule would make liability for drainage problems clearer and more predictable, it also acknowledged that the "reasonable use" rule comes down to case-specific facts. The court created a private nuisance action for flooding, instructing future courts to weigh the gravity of the plaintiff's injury against the utility of the defendant's conduct. This sort of case-specific, utilitarian-based weighing of harms versus benefits is central to judicial "reasonable use" tests. After Pendergrast, this sort of weighing is supposed to determine all stormwater disputes between private parties, as well as all water extraction disputes between riparians.
The Pendergrast court explicitly rejected the long history of courts treating stormwater cases differently than cases involving water in defined channels. Since "reasonable use" is also the standard for a riparian's right to extract water from a stream, the hope was that North Carolina water law would settle down from its decades of confusing precedents into something more understandable for both judges and citizens. If only that were the case! Instead, the waters and the law concerning them have just gotten murkier.
One of the main recent stumbling blocks to this Pendergrast-era (1970s) hope for a unified state water law has been the refusal of courts to treat public sector actors, even in their mode as stormwater or water supply public enterprises, the same way as private sector actors. I discussed in a previous entry in this series the Piedmont Triad Water Authority case, holding a State-permitted water supply reservoir operator liable for damages to downstream hydroelectric producers, treating the dam owners as having a property right in a certain flow regime (shades of the old natural flow doctrine). An interesting aspect of that court's decision was its reliance on a line of stormwater cases that began after Pendergrast and that deny entities with eminent domain authority the ability to plead "reasonable use" in defending claims for stormwater damage. See Board of Transportation v. Terminal Warehouse Corp., 300 N.C. 700 (1980) (disallowing a Pendergrast "reasonable use" defense for flooding problems caused by the relocation of U.S. highway 74). The Terminal Warehouse court justified its special, stricter treatment of public entities by reference to a 1940 case (Dunlap v. Light Co., 212 N.C. 814 (1940)) not involving stormwater, but rather involving damages from water releases at a dam owned by an electric utility.
Terminal Warehouse was an actual condemnation case. From a policy point of view, it may well make sense to have special rules for stormwater liability in condemnation cases, particularly where the public/condemnor/defendant has the power to design projects that either cause or avoid drainage problems for adjoining property owners. A well-established approach in tort law, supported by economic analysis, places the burden of liability (or the responsibilities of "ownership") on the party that can most efficiently avoid the problem. But Terminal Warehouse has been relied on in recent years to support a view that any defendant that has eminent domain power is more or less strictly liable for stormwater problems in any drainages that it has ever attempted to manage or improve. This has become a deterrent to local governments getting involved in solving stormwater problems on private property. Solving those problems might improve everyone's lives and property values. But solving those problems today also risks committing the public entity to eternal public management of the drainage with strict liability for problems that arise.
The General Assembly attempted to absolve local governments from this dilemma in 2005, with the passage of G.S. 160A-193.1. :
(b) The actions of a city to clear obstructions from a stream shall not create or increase the responsibility of the city for the clearing or maintenance of the stream, or for flooding of the stream. In addition, actions by a city to clear obstructions from a stream shall not create in the city any ownership in the stream, obligation to control the stream, or affect any otherwise existing private property right, responsibility, or entitlement regarding the stream. These provisions shall not relieve a city for negligence that might be found under otherwise applicable law.
Counties got parallel relief in G.S. 153A-140.1.
In 2014, Mecklenburg County went to the legislature and got a special statute allowing it to deal with stormwater problems on private property under certain procedural restrictions. See G.S. 153A-274.1. I think this authority already existed and that this statute will just complicate decisions by other counties, who are not covered by the terms of the statute.
It's too early to tell whether these new statutes will change the legal outcomes in stormwater disputes where a public entity is arguably involved. They do help give comfort to cities and counties that feel a need to help with drainage problems on private property (although Mecklenburg's special legislation creates a new level of worry for other every other county). But I doubt the statutes will change the long-term trend to holding public entities strictly liable for drainage issues under their control, since the courts still deny those entities access to a Pendergrast "reasonable use" defense.
In a dispute over damages from stormwater, there is almost always some (often more than one) entity whose geographic jurisdiction extends over the waters in question and that has eminent domain power. Thus the first question in resolving most of these disputes today is whether that public sector (or utility) entity has done anything to exert its authority to manage the drainage in question. It doesn't necessarily take a formal act of adoption of a channel into a public system; it can be enough just to have done some remedial work in the past. See, e.g., Hooper v. Wilmington, 42 N.C. App. 548 (1979) (City on the hook for problems with culvert on private property, designed and built by a third party, because of prior work "snagging" the stream above and below the property). If there is enough evidence of public entity control over the stormwater in question, the Pendergrast "reasonable use" analysis no longer applies, and the odds are high that the public entity will be held liable for the problems.
This is somewhat like the problem in cases involving improper hazardous waste disposal: as a result of the strict liability scheme under the Superfund statute, CERCLA, no matter who originally caused the problem, or how reasonable their actions were in comparison to the economic benefit gained, anyone who goes in and moves the waste around, even in a well-planned attempt to reduce the risks and solve the problem, can end up on the hook for all of the cleanup costs. With stormwater, this means we currently have a legal system strongly tilted to socialize the costs of stormwater damage. However, it also means that well-advised public entities may be more cautious than they should be (in an economic, public policy sense) about getting involved with drainage problems on private property.
"You may ask yourself 'Well, how did I get here?…'
Water dissolving and water removing….
Same as it ever was…."
~Talking Heads, Once in a Lifetime
The new and unpredictable factor in this old legal problem (and these stormwater liability cases go way back into the 19th century) is the rise of stormwater regulations designed to address water quality problems, rather than just to get the water off someone's property. To be sure, stormwater itself blurs the lines between water quality and water quantity, since the increased flows that development usually brings also increase erosion, causing turbidity in water, and also carrying all sorts of pollutants into streams and lakes. Probably the most pernicious water quality issue in contemporary North Carolina (as elsewhere) is nutrient over-enrichment, a significant part of which is caused by stormwater carrying nitrogen and phosphorus off our yards and fields and streets and into our drinking water.
To meet the difficult demands of stormwater control for water quality purposes, we have, in the last twenty years, begun to build local stormwater enterprises that typically charge fees and that focus most or all their efforts on stormwater control. The next chapter in the ongoing saga of "who owns the stormwater" will likely be how these fee-driven stormwater enterprises change the liability/ownership rules outlined above. My prediction is for continued push towards the socialization of stormwater costs–making the public "own it." This might seem contrary to the flow of politics and law towards "small government" and "privatization." But I think it will be water's way of continuing to teach us that what we think we see on the surface is not necessarily what is happening at depth. Because the stormwater problems are only going to get harder–as are the rains, if present trends continue–and the market will not solve these problems. They are classic "externalities," to use the economists' term, and they bind us together today just as they did when the State of North Carolina first came into being.

Storenvy, the internet's only combo hosted store-builder and community marketplace, is getting close to having a whopping 20,000 stores on their platform (19,207 at the time of writing), and they really want to climb that hill, so they're offering a bonus for people who give them a little push.
If they reach 20,000 stores by Monday night (PST, I presume) they're going to give all the stores on their network their 'super discount codes' feature for free for a month, when it would usually cost them $2.99 per month. I know it's not the most massive of incentives, but if you were thinking of checking out Storenvy for your store then now would be a great time to open account and get testing.

A mobile disinfection system using DEMACLENKO snow guns
In the fight against the corona virus, DEMACLENKO developed an efficient mobile disinfection solution with an adapted snow gun. The solution is provided to the South Tyrolean (IT) communities free of charge for the disinfection of public places by using a 100% biodegradable disinfectant.
Already at the beginning of the Corona pandemic, the experts from DEMACLENKO started tests with snow guns to implement large-scale disinfection measures of public spaces. The central element is a high-performance snow gun connected to a water pump, which ensures the optimum water pressure, and a 100% biodegradable disinfectant is used. After the first test runs with trucks including a water tank were successfully completed, a test in connection with a fire engine was also successfully implemented together with the local volunteer fire brigade in order to ensure maximum mobility and the flexible application range of the solution.
Thanks to the snow gun's large-area water atomization, the application is particularly effective in disinfecting public places, streets, bus stations, waste collection points and the areas in front of supermarkets and shops. The mobile solution was made available free of charge to the South Tyrolean (IT) municipalities for the area-wide disinfection in coordination with the Agency for Civil Protection. In cooperation with the volunteer local fire brigades, the disinfection has already been carried out in some communities, including Val Gardena, Bressanone and Vipiteno.
In addition, the company is currently evaluating the deployment in other countries in cooperation with its branch offices and offers its customers worldwide technical support for the implementation: Numerous ski resorts are planning similar operations in their towns with their DEMACLENKO snow guns.
The news spread rapidly and went through the international media. Here are some impressions:
>> ABC News (US)
>> La Stampa (IT)
>> Independent (GB)
>> Welt (DE)
>> The Guardian (GB)
>> Die Presse (AT)
>> Corriere (IT)

22 February 2016. Over the past week, Michael Jones and Michelle Clark from the ERIAS Group visited the PNG Biomass operations for a field visit to speak to landowners and get a first hand look at the pilot plantations. The ERIAS Group have been engaged to undertake an independent Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) of the project.
The ESIA team spoke to landowners, many whom have been working on the project for several years, to gain an understanding of the project's impact and potential benefits to communities within the Markham Valley in the Morobe Province, PNG. The ESIA process will involve a number of studies being coordinated by ERIAS Group. These studies will involve the engagement of consultants with expertise in various environmental disciplines and will take several months.
Michael Henson, PNG Biomass Project Director, who accompanied the ESIA delegation stated "the project partner's are committed to delivering an environmentally and socially sustainable energy development, and the independent ESIA will enable us to validate our approach as being best practice and will help us achieve the accreditation standards necessary for attracting like-minded investors".
Do you have questions about PNG Biomass? Do you want to provide feedback? Or looking for recruitment contact details?

On Tuesday it will happen. I will become an octogenarian. Folks I have finally reached "old". Milestone birthdays can be exciting or dreaded. Most of mine were easy.
I was good with turning the scary 30. I just felt like I was finally a grown up. Forty was marvelous. I was mentally sound, confident and still able to do most things a 20 year old could do but better thanks to experience. Fifty was just a continuation of 40 and 60 got me excited about nearing retirement when I could do nothing or everything as I pleased with no deadlines. Also a pay check would come in each month with out a time clock being punched. Yipee.
Then seventy hit and that is when I started blogging. I call my blog, "The New Sixty" for that is what it felt like. Sixty had been pretty darn good. First the early seventies and mid seventies were steady. My health did take a bit of a hit the last part of my seventies but I still felt mostly good.
Some how, 80 is the only milestone birthday I have not looked forward to. It is not the "new" anything though I am keeping my blog title and hope holds true.
When I turned 30 just fifty years ago, I started referring to my self as being thirty on January 1st of that year even though my birthday didn't happen till July 23rd. I gave myself 7 months to try out the new age so when it got here, I would be use to it. It worked so well that I have done it every year since.
Ready or not, eighty is here. I hope I don't notice a significant drop off and can just keep on trucking, maybe just a little slower. We will see.
To paraphrase what George Burns once said. "No one wants to be 80--unless you are 79."
One rather delightful thing, after hitting us with a 99 degrees real temperature on Sunday, Nature is supposedly giving me an age appropriate temperature of 80 degrees on my birthday. That is almost sweater weather. Way to go Mom Nature!! Thank you. House arrest will be over for a while.
Was there an age you dreaded or are dreading turning?

I'm quite happy to forget birthdays. I don't think it will be age that prevents me doing something but as with everyone it's the failing body that I am not looking forward to. So far so good.ReplyDeleteReplies
As active and energetic as you are I can see your concern but because you are so energetic, that should keep you healthy.
Happy Birthday for Tuesday!!ReplyDelete
I'm not dreading any ages, looking forward to getting older. Not too keen on the aches though and my asthma seems to be worse each winter. I'll have to see my doctor about that, maybe there's a stronger medicine I could try.Replies
Thank you for the wishes. I too have asthma but mine is along with COPD and a stronger med really helped me. Hope you find an answer.
Isn't that weird? To say that 50 years ago you turned 30?ReplyDelete
In September I'll be saying that 40 years ago I turned 30.
Pretty sure I'm not dreading it because right now , thanks to semi-regular trips to the gym I really don't feel my age.
Not living in denial, just disbelief.Replies
Who would have thought it when we were thirty that we would make it this far? Hey, the 70's are the good years. Enjoy and keep going to the gym.
OH, And Happy Birthday!!ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday, Patti!ReplyDelete
I have a friend who continued to be active through her eighties, including playing golf three times a week. She did slow down at around age 92, but she just celebrated 99 and she is still running with us younguns in our 70s.Replies
Thank you so much. I really do believe in the use it or lose it and your friend definitely keeps using it. A great example.
75 was the birthday I dreaded the most and I ended up having two of them. I had dreaded the first one so much I completely blocked it from my mind, when almost a year, then decided to take the bull by the horns and throw myself a 75th birthday party. A guest at the party did the math and---egg on my face---I was already 75 and had been for a whole year. Now I just celebrate anniversaries of my 75th birthday.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday!Replies
Thank you for the wishes. I had to laugh for I did almost the same thing but in the other direction. As I started turning my coming year age on January, one year I forgot and added another year when my birthday came around. Fortunately I have a friend the same age and she set me straight.
All of them after 59 have been dreaded.Nothing good happened after 49. I'd give my right arm for my 40's back. Happy Birthday Patti. The positive is you can have cake and ice cream on Tuesday and you can't hear us sing happy birthday :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Weren't those 40's the best? Health, brains and confidence--we couldn't be touched.
Thank you for the wishes.
80! To me you will always be the hot young thing that told a famous handsy golfer to take a hike.ReplyDelete
They say age is only a number, congratulations, you are hitting a really big number. Hope to make it there myself someday.Replies
Thank you my friend. You just made my day and I hope I am around to wish you a Happy Birthday when you make the big eight oh.
60 hit me pretty hard, but after I got over that I decided it was a blessing just to be alive. Congratulations!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you and yes, the alternative is not all the bright so I am happy to have made it this far.
My mother-in-law is 83. She plays guitar, bowls, plays golf and travels the world. I think she's healthier than me. So age is just a number. Happy Birthday to you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much. It is nice to hear about those who make it look so simple and it gives me a goal to shoot for.
I don't remember ever dreading reaching a certain age, but then again, I am 67, I may not remember! Happy birthday to you, Patti. You're still a cool blogging buddy at 80.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much robin. You have been with me all these years--one of the very first. You are still a puppy and have the neato 70's ahead yet. Enjoy.
Hope you celebrate well tomorrow, Patti! Just be gentle with yourself, and be sure to keep a firm grip on your trusty sense of humour!ReplyDeleteReplies
Out to Pasture,Delete
Thank you so much and actually doubt I'd have made it this far without laughing at the challenges of life.
Patti - you join several of my friends who are in their 80's and still going strong. You and they are my mentors, living full and active lives as octogenarians. I am always quite surprised when May rolls around, and I'm a year older. I still feel pretty great though I can tell at 75 I'm no spring chicken. Keep smiling and keep active, Patti. Happy 80!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much Barb. It is always good to learn I am not alone and that this age group is quite doable. Think I am over the shock now and am looking forward.
I turned 70 in February. Nothing significant...just another day. Some days I feel 100 while most days I feel 30. As you say, just slower. I've never dreaded ANY birthdays...enjoying my time here and living the good life with ALL the ups & downs.ReplyDelete
Ps...july 22nd is my mother's birthday. She would've been 108 today. Hope you have a grand celebration.Replies
Hootin' Annie,Delete
I know, I have that 30 year old mind also. Sometimes it gives me a check my body can't cash but I am glad for it.
First off, Happy Birthday! That is definitely a milestone to celebrate.ReplyDelete
My Dad was 98 when he passed, and well into his 90's he was riding his bicycle, volunteering at the museum and in the winter, he curled and went to local hockey games. Age is definitely just a number. Besides slowing down is a great way to observe and enjoy life.
Have a marvelous day and I hope you do something special for yourself.Replies
Thank you. Your dad sounds like my brother. While my brother is only 3 years older, he has set the example of how people should age. If we don't use it we will lose it. Slow is good, but that quit moving rust. I plan to move as long as possible.
One of my favorite aunts used to say, "You are just as old as you think you are." I think that might be worth remembering, and just keep on keeping on without thinking too much about age. I would be surprised if that's not exactly what you will be doing. Happy Birthday!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Chip Butter,Delete
Your aunt is so right and thanks for the wishes. I am all ready adjusting.
I don't think I dreaded or do dread turning any age. But my dad died at 75 (I'm 74) and he never seemed old to me. I think making it past that mark will be like a milestone. But congrats and Happy Birthday on Tuesday! (I like that George Burns quote.)ReplyDeleteReplies
George was a favorite of mine. Thanks for the good wishes and I know the feeling of out living your parents. I out lived both of mine but my grandmother set the bar higher. I have to make it to 94 to pass her.
I've never really dreaded any age. What I do dread is my body slowly giving out. But we don't have a choice, so may as well accept the facts and keep trucking on. I don't feel like I'm in my seventies and I bet you don't feel eighty at all. You have such a fun outlook on life and sound younger than most people I know. So, Happy Birthday! Eat a big piece of cake and enjoy that you were blessed to reach this age. Many people don't get the privilege.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much for the wishes and ego boost. I do have a 30 year old mind that always gets me in trouble but I keep listening to her:)) Yes, I am grateful to have made this age level.
I've never paid a lot of attention to birthdays, to be honest. I've always just been so glad to make it another year, regardless of what shape I'm in or how rough that year might have been very many of those years--LOL! ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Wishing you a happy birthday, even if you are dreading it a bit. Since I just hit 75 and felt OK about it, I'm thinking I'm with you. Eighty does sound old. Does it work to stay young in your head even if the rest of your body doesn't follow along so well?ReplyDeleteReplies
We both aged a bit this past week. You managed to make it a real celebration. Way to go.
Ha ha, yes 80 does sound old to me too. I use to think that old was 15 years older than me, not it appears to be here. Yes that 30 year old mind does help. She has gotten me this far and I think she isn't done.
I started reading the comments but ran out of time! I'll just say that I do something similar, and I will be 77 on my next birthday. Now I'm trying it out. We are almost the same age! And I wish you the very best birthday ever, and remember you are my favorite blogger! Don't stop just 'cause you've left your seventies behind. :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha ha, trying it out ahead of time does take the sting out.
Right back at ya my friend.
I'd like to get rid of these wearing out seventies.ReplyDeleteReplies
They can take a toll on you. Hope you get a break soon.
I had one, I think it was 50. My mother wanted to celebrate it and I wanted to ignore it. She came over with a cake and I was irritated because she refused to forego a party. We were both wrong.ReplyDeleteReplies
She meant well and you just wanted it to slip by unnoticed. Aren't you glad that is over?
When I turned 30, we went to a pizza/arcade restaurant. The kids playing were 15. that felt strange.ReplyDelete
The thing about heading toward 70 is that most of me feels good. We will see how that works out for me.
The thing that keeps writers young is writing. And clearly that is what you are doing, writing.Replies
That was quite an age difference and would have felt weird.
Good chance most of you will continue to feel good and you are right, writing helps.

Sorry to be late with my wishes for you to have a Happy Birthday sweet Patti. To me birthdays have always just been another day that I was thankful to be alive and doing well. I will be having my 80th in November so I am not far behind you on the 80. I am glad you had nice cool weather on your birthday. I am looking forward to reading your blogs so we are going to just keep right on trucking...okay! Big hugsReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. They use to be just another day for me and now that it is over, it was. Looks like you are soon to join the club. Lots of good people I know are members.
Nowadays, I don't think anybody is old unless they are 100. And even then, if they're healthy and of sound mind... I consider them merely seniors.ReplyDelete
The main thing I can see is that your brain is super sharp, Patti so you're a youngster at heart.
Aww thanks for the wishes and the assessment. One can hope. Just grateful I am as good as I am.
Even more impressed with your potty-repair success now that I learn you are one determined octogenarian! Hubby and I are having to make age-related changes and tell each other often "Go as far as we can as long as we can!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your next decade.you share as my auntie who made it to 96 recently. On my July BD I turned 73 and have used the age since spring. Age is just a number but for me some numbers hold more meaning. Au 16 my Dad died at 32 my brother died so numbers made me worry my dad was 42 so when I was 42 I was worried and that year my Mom died. She was 70. At 70 I worried again but this time it was all good. My first grandchild was born. 73 is Buddy' birth year and he just turned 46, my birth year. No idea what is our future but so far all looks good.ReplyDelete
Sorry for so many errorsReplyDelete
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! The only birthday I dreaded was when I turned 27 (of all things). To me it signaled that I was no longer of the "college crowd" and was thrust into the label of "adult." Now I consider that I am not really a year older when I have a birthday. I'm only one day older that I was the day before.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday dear friend. I agree with your reactions to the big Oh birthdays. I celebrated 70 and realized, yup, I am officially old. Good quote about "no one wants to be 80, unless they are 79", ha ha.ReplyDelete

MISSION UPDATES | October 31, 2019
Sol 2572-2573: Central Butte Rocks
Curiosity made an almost 10 m drive to approach a "butte"iful outcrop at the base of "Central" butte, an erosional remnant of the pediment in front of us. With a key geologic contact between two different layers a few meters ahead, we're planning a "touch-n-go" on sol 2572 with two APXS measurements, ChemCam, MAHLI, and Mastcam on rock "Glen Mark," an additional ChemCam on "Fourpenny", a Mastcam of nearby "Pittodrie" looking for nodules in the rock, and a Mastcam mosaic of layered outcrop "Hunda" in front of us which is composed of fine layered bedding. We're also firing up CheMin for an empty cell analysis to get ready for the next drill location. On sol 2773, the rover will go through its nominal list of untargeted ChemCam acquisitions, a dust-devil survey, and Mastcam line-of-sight extinction to measure dust in the atmosphere.
