Post-hurricane problems: Expert tips on dealing with the aftermath
Identifying dangerous trees
We all watched the trees take a brutal beating during Hurricane Sandy — so if you're like us, you're a little freaked out about wounded branches toppling down. "It's natural that storms bring concerns regarding trees to the front of our mind," says Phil Snyder, northeast operations manager of The Davey Tree Company. "But the last thing we want to do is to create fear around trees." The best away to avoid any damage is to have regular maintenance and checkups of trees on your property, and become comfortable identifying a dangerous tree.
Here are warning signs to look out for:
1. Open cavities
Look for these in the main trunk that go from the ground up to where the tree begins to branch. Check for pockets of decays and holes.
2. Deadwood
These are limbs that have died and can fall at any time.
3. Weak branch union
This is when two major branches grow too closely together. When they are so narrow, there is bark growing between them and that weakens that joint making them more susceptible to split apart.
4. Excessive lean
When we have storms, trees with an excessive lean can become more likely to fall.
Watch out for "storm-chaser" contractor fraud
HomeAdvisor, a website that connects homeowners with prescreened and customer-rated contractors, gives us tips to finding a reliable service person in the aftermath of Sandy.
Avoid "travelers" that go door-to-door soliciting work they never plan to provide.
A reputable contractor will never ask for cash and will never require that the entire job be paid up-front.
Before agreeing to any costly repairs, seek other opinions.
HomeAdvisor's four questions to ask a contractor
How long have you been in business?
Can you provide a list of references?
Do you belong to any professional associations?
Are you licensed and registered with the state?
Be aware when these micro events happen
There are risks when the weather is bad. Even the safest trees in the world become hazardous when the soil becomes fully saturated during a storm, warns Snyder. "It's not a time to be taking a stroll in the park."

Zegbeh Kpadeh, a Microbiology Ph.D candidate in the lab of Paul Hoffman has received a Robert D. Watkins Fellowship Grant from the American Society for Microbiology. Deciphering the Bifunctional Role of Oxidoreductase DsbA2 in Legionella pneumophila. Legionella pneumohila (Lpn) are small, fastidious, gram negative bacilli that live in aquatic environments as intracellular parasites of free-living protozoa but cause Legionnaires' disease when aerolized bacteria infect human alveolar macrophage. Lpn displays a dimorphic developmental cycle in which the vegetative replicating bacilli differentiate into metabolically dormant cyst-like planktonic forms, which are known to be resilient and highly infectious. Disulfide bond (DSB) formation is essential for the folding, activity, and stability of many proteins exported from the cytoplasm to the periplasm. The Dot/Icm type IVb secretion system (T4SS) is essential for virulence and mediates delivery of multiple effector proteins into the host cytoplasm. The proper assembly and function of the Dot/Icm T4SS is dependent on correct DSB formation catalyazed by a novel and essential periplasmic DSB oxidoreductase DsbA2 and not by DsbA1, a second nonessential DSB oxidoreductase. This investigation examines the activities and function of a disulfide bond oxidoreductase, DsbA2, which exists as a bifunctional homodimer with both oxidoreductase and protein disulfide isomerase activity. By gaining a better understanding of the activities and function of this protein in Lpn, we hope to gain new insights into the pathogenic processes utilized by Lpn during infection.

Christine Coquery, an Immunonolgy Ph.D candidate in the lab of Loren Erickson has received a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award. The Role of B Cell Maturation Antigen in Controlling Tolerance.The establishment of long-lived plasma cells (PC) is a hallmark of the adaptive immune response and is critical for host protection against pathogens. In autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), this process is disrupted to generate self-reactive long-lived PCs (LL-PCs) that produce pathogenic auto-antibodies. This project tests the hypothesis that B Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA), which is not only present on B lymphocytes but also on T follicular helper (TFH) cells, in the context of an inflammatory environment, that help to drive proliferation and differentiation of PCs, is 1) a critical regulator of TFH cells in autoimmunity and 2) signaling through BCMA on TFH cells can modulate their cytokine production, proliferation, and survival.The overall goal of this project is to define the qualities of TFH cells in autoimmune-prone mice in the presence and absence of BCMA, and to determine their role in the development of long-lived PCs in order to understand the role of BCMA in mediating tolerance.

Steven Griffith, a Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics Ph.D. candidate in the lab of Gary Owens has received a fellowship from the Mid-Atlantic Affiliate of the American Heart Association. The role of H3K4me2 in Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Modulation. A fundamental question in developmental biology is understanding how multipotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) that share the same DNA sequence can acquire unique characteristics that enable a large variety of functions. One theory postulates that, while genetically identical, ESCs within the blastocyst are epigenetically distinct and thus are capable of responding rapidly to extracellular and environmental cues that cause differential regulation of gene expression and allow the cells to differentiate into various lineages. This, in turn, results in the initial cell heterogeneity. Once this heterogeneous cell population is established, cellular determination is then extended through both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms arising from the availability of metabolites, environmental cues, matrix components, cellular location, and morphogens. These factors gradually program cells down a specific lineage path, resulting in the generation of committed, distinct cell populations and tissues that maintain their specialized characteristics through subsequent cell divisions. The mechanism through which cells retain this "lineage memory" is thought to arise through epigenetic changes, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling. This project tests the hypothesis that smooth muscle cells (SMCs) undergo reversible phenotypic modulation during vascular repair in vivo and that this process is dependent on an epigenetic lineage memory control process involving stable histone modifications of SMC specific gene loci. My work will definitively determine whether or not Smooth Muscle Cells are capable of undergoing phenotypic modulation in response to vascular injury, a process long suspected to be a major player in a large array of vascular diseases (such as atherosclerosis) as well as determine if removal of a single epigenetic mark at specific gene loci in an individual cell type results in loss of cellular memory in vivo.

Ryan Llewellyn, a Microbiology Ph.D. candidate in the lab of Amy Bouton has received Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award for Individual Predoctoral Fellows from the National Institutes of Health. The Role of FAK in Regulating Macrophage Migration and Function in Mammary Tumors. Our research explores the fundamental contribution of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) to macrophage migration and function, which may contribute to regulation of breast tumor progression. Mice with FAK conditionally deleted in myeloid lineage cells (FAKΔmyeloid) were crossed with mice that develop spontaneous breast carcinomas due to expression of the MMTV-PyMT transgene. FAKΔmyeloid MMTV-PyMT mice showed significantly enhanced primary tumor outgrowth compared to wildtype (WT) littermate MMTV-PyMT animals. Based on data generated from our lab, we hypothesize that monocytes upregulate FAK and differentiation into mature macrophages once they have extravasated out of the tumor vasculature and enter the tumor parenchyma. This, in turn, could promote increased movement of these cells within the tumor microenvironment, which may help to control tumor size/outgrowth through functions that ultimately mediate anti-tumor effects. To test this hypothesis, we are first determining if FAK expression in macrophages regulates the migration or localization of these cells in the tumor. In parallel, we are assessing whether FAK expression regulates macrophage functionality in the tumor. This research will provide new insights into the mechanisms driving breast tumor growth and identify new considerations for treating breast cancer patients.

The TetR family transcriptional regulator TM1030 from the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima is shown in a complex with DNA. The crystals in the background were grown in temperatures ranging from 4 – 50°C. Crystallization at elevated temperatures is uncommon, even for proteins from mesophilic and thermophilic organisms. The series of structures reported in this manuscript show that such proteins can be stable at elevated temperatures and that the quality of the crystallographic data and subsequent refined structures do not depend on the crystallization conditions.

This is what will happen when Splash gets an effect:

This is what will happen when Splash gets an effect:
I'm now getting a full team of Magikarps...
"I see you have no soul. Want mine? It's black and gooey" -The Frozen Man
Nope. That would ruin the whole point of the move.

In all seriousness, I think the extra random damage caused in thr PMD series are just enough - flipping to a random spot and if there's a pokemon, you inflict and get 5 damage each
I think adding an effect would take the fun out of it! It was designed to be a completely pointless, useless, trollish move to make you think raising Magikarp is stupid. If they made it actually do something, it would defeat its original purpose.
There should be a worldwide event, where all the magikarps that ever used splash would cause a huge tsunami, and you'd have to fly up or surf the wave to escape. So, splash x (however many times it's been used)=a tsunami.
Bring it on!
It doesn't mean I'll win, but it's still worth a shot!
No. It's part of the reason why Magikarp is so awesome. Giving Splash an effect would effectively make Magikarp useless.
I don't quite think so. Yes, there are instance where a lesser-used move gets a nice effect later on, like Growl working on multiple targets and Growth now boosting both attack stats, but I agree that Splash may not have a secondary effect, ever, because that's the appeal of this move. It's famous for being a turn-waster, and that appeal's not going to change.
However, if there is an effect for this move, the most intriguing suggestion has to be "removes all hazards". I imagine that this would make Jumpluff a great user to remove hazards, and the odd Wobbuffet even has another role to play.
Thanks for reading.

They generally never change a move that much, except from power and accuracy.
It should have 1 damage and a 1/3000 change in a OHKO with various ways to make the chance higher like Lucky Eggs and stuff.
No, it will never be any effect. Splash is a special move, any effect will remove its special taste.

When I first watched pokemon I thought you had to do something special to get splash to work, never did I think it was useless. I dont think it will ever be possible on the games but maybe something could be done on the anime...
But for the games, no way...
Huge thanks to Blue Dragon for my EPIC avatar & sig
That used to bother me, too. I once thought it was so it couldn't ever be super-effective, but since an attack has to actually hit to be "super-effective" that explanation doesn't really make sense. (I wish it did say that with Splash, though. That would be hilarious!)
I think it's to underscore the fact that you don't need any sort of special power over water to just splash in it. Also, because there are several non-Water-types that learn it by leveling-up (like the Hoppip family, Spoink/Grumpig and Buneary/Lopunny), which isn't the case with most Water-type moves.

Perhaps make it deal damage in the rain.
Giving Splash an actuall effect would ruin it's purpose, as a useless RPG attack that's there to distract the player, many RPG's have enemies with such "attacks", especially the Mother games.

If splash ever gets an effect, then Magikarp will cease to be the most hilarious Pokemon. And we can't have that.

Hopefully I'm not out of line posting this in this area.
A couple of our club use plastic laundry sinks with legs. You can buy them at the hardware store, & they work very well.
The other cool idea I saw was a large cooler. That way you had a lid and you could walk away for the night.
my first uncapping tank was a rubbermade storage tote that i bolted a 1x2" aross with a small nail to hold the frame steady for the knifing
toss in a chunk of 1/8th inch wire over 2x4 in the bottom and add a honey gate - about $30 if i remember right
You can buy the large clear tubs at Wal-Mart that are similiar to the storage tubs. Their sold in deep and shallow. The large shallow tub will fit right on top of the large deep tub. Screw a small strip across the swallow tub to balance the frames while uncapping. Drill a few holes in the shallow tub and you are ready to uncap. You can buy a gate but it is not necessary. I let them set for a few days, remove the swallow tub which is filled with dry cappings and simply tilt the larger tub and strain into a 5 gallon bucket. Works well, and it's cheap.
Any need for food grade storage tubs when using as an uncapping tub?
Try living life with the attitude it's not about what you want to do but what you should do!
Try Fabian restaurant supply. They are on MLK ( Buffalo
Ave) in Drew Park area. New and used stuff good prices I'm sure they will have something you can use.
Ask to see lexans, common name for large plastic foodgrade tubs.

I was nervous about doing this up until I met with Thomas and his crew. They put me at ease instantly and I was able to enjoy an absolutely incredible experience that everyone should do.
- Cristina - New York, Wednesday, July 31, 2013
An experience of a lifetime... Thomas was great, very professional and would fly with him any day. Great time!
- Steve - New York, Tuesday, July 30, 2013
On a slightly overcast day, Thomas took me on a 20 minute experience when the foliage was 1 week past peak. It was far less frightening to do than to watch, even though I fear heights. The instructor was professional and reassuring, and I would highly recommend others to him. Unlike anything I've done before, in a good way!
- Robert - Randall Airport, Middletown, NY, Tuesday, October 30, 2012
Tom at Hangar3 was not only charming, good-looking, fun and assuring while we flew, he also worked the camera! Awesome experience!
- Lori Goodman - NYC, Friday, June 10, 2011
This adventure was delayed from its original booking because of weather. The company made sure that the rebooking and the day of the trip itself was handled in the best way, with professionalism, interest and humor. I would tell anyone to definitely take advantage of this truly beautiful experience. And, if you're into a little more excitement, then let the pilot take you for some dips and bankings (I did without hesitation, and it was fantastic). Thank you for one of my best adventures ever.
- Jonathon Culver - New York City, Monday, September 27, 2010
The experience was WAY cooler than i thought it'd be...beautiful and exciting. I recommend it for sure!
- David - Jersey City, NJ, Wednesday, July 21, 2010
- Samantha - New jeresy, Tuesday, July 20, 2010
The experience was very exciting and definitely worthwhile. However, the safety precautions were never explained before hand, making me very ill at ease throughout the entire experience. Additionally, the dvd's we paid for were poorly made. One in fact does not even show a video, but instead has 4 random snapshots, while my boyfriends dvd ends and cuts off before landing. I tried contacting the venue in regards to this situation, but so far no one has picked up the phone. I will continue to contact them. The people working there were all very friendly and enthusiastic about hang gliding. They even helped us with driving directions, because we had gotten quite lost on the way over. Overall, it was a good experience. I just wish I had a dvd that worked to show my friends and family.
- Louise Lu - Middletown, Thursday, June 03, 2010
The experience was thrilling, however, the run was shorter than what was expected due to wind condition. Paid the full amount of money for a full run and didn't receive that, this was a bit disappointing.

- Review Submitted 10/21/13
We had a fantastic time in Maui. This condo is in the perfect location for exploring the island. The condo is lovely and offers a wonderful walking beach in front of it. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We even met new friends at the pool and barbeque! The owner also provided very helpful information for places to eat and sightseeing. The Lahaina Luau was great as was the snorkeling at the "Dumps." I highly recommend this condo for the location, cleanliness and great value for this price.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

After a few days of traveling around (Haleakula, Hana), I wanted a place to stay put for a few days that would allow me to do some exploring, or to relax. This place was perfect. I chose Kihei because it seemed central, and it was exactly the location I wanted. The condo was clean, well cared for, and stocked with anything I could have wanted. Sue was clear with directions and generous in sharing local knowledge (Kihei Cafe for breakfast - excellent!). The check in process was easy and the folks there helpful. I would happily stay there again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, people with disabilities.

My husband and I made a last minute trip to Maui this summer and were recommended to this condo by neighbours who had also had a fabulous time and thought we would enjoy it. They were right! Despite a very late arrival on an unfamiliar island, we found the condo with no problem and Sue's instructions were so clear and easy to follow that we were settled in no time and ready to explore early the next morning. Very well located and equipped and friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the island and helped us out tremendously. The residents, both local and fellow tourists, were great company around the well maintained pool and bbq area - we were even invited to a potluck party which we thoroughly enjoyed. The property is vey well maintained and the condo clean and comfortable. We haven't hesitated to recommend this condo to friends and are now thinking we should probably make sure we're booked for next year before we say any more! (If you like to snorkel - check out Honolua Bay. Incredible!)Recommended for: Age 55+.
Owner response: Thanks Darlyne, I am glad you enjoyed your stay. You truly found the magic of Maui. Sue

- Review Submitted 08/11/12
We have stayed in the Kihei area several times and really liked this unit alot.....This unit was completely fitting to our needs and very clean! The price was awesome and we loved having a private parking space! It had everything we needed for the beaches except snorkel gear. This unit had the nicest kitchen pots and pans I have ever seen in a VRBO unit because the owner is adament about the care of the kitchen supplies which was really nice. The bedroom was great because it was on the beach/balcony side, not the inner walkway side where everyone walks by your bedroom in the morning making noise. Also this complex DOES NOT have a loud gardener out early everymorning with a weed wacker or a bulldozer going down the beach making beeping noises out your window. It was very quiet and private there.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Debra, Glad you found the Kauhale Makai as charming as we did. It has everything you need with a great floor plan. Snorkel gear is one of those health issues for everyone. If you come back, I recommend Snorkel Bob's. Sue

Fantastic condo! Great location in kihei, QUIET... 5 min drive to the hustle and bustle but not close enough to hear it! Short walk across a grassy field to a nice beach, most times we had the beach to ourselves! Kihei is the best place to stay in Maui, ample parking and TONS of beaches to choose from. Bonus- Sue is great to deal with! We loved our stay and would recommend this condo for sure!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed your stay and that you are also enchanted with Kihei.

The Paranoid Guide to Better Living: Scanners & The Fat Wallets of Congress
And now your host, Paranoia:
I love Fox News. I mean, if Fox News was a woman I'd certainly chase after her. We'd have a torrid one night stand, then I'd slip her a $20 bill and sneak out of the room — giving her a false name in the process. And she'd be cool with the whole thing. Because that's what Fox News is. A common whore. Which is why I love Fox News.
For instance, what other news site is going to open up an article with this statement: "So which elected officials own stakes in full-body scanning machines now in more than 60 U.S. airports? And what are those individual investments worth?"
They then go on to say they can't connect the dots between the investments and the actual usage of the scanners. No shit. We all know that politicians make their money one of three ways. Either from their meager salaries, from brown paper bags handed to them by lobbyists or from the investments made with the money in those paper bags.
So basically, using some recent studies by the Center for Responsive Politics, they tie investments in L-3 Communications (one of the largest defense & technology manufacturing firms in the world) to the scanners because L-3 made some of them. Really? Normally this is something I would be on board with, but it seems just a tad far-fetched.
L-3 Communications got a $165 million contract for the machines. Another company - RapiScan, was also awarded a $173 million contract according to the Center. The report goes on to say that "RapiScan has hired Michael Chertoff, former secretary of Homeland Security under Republican President George W. Bush. It also says former Republican Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R-N.Y.) and Linda Daschle, the wife of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), also lobby for L-3."
Whoa. That's a bit different. Both companies have increased lobbying over the past couple of years, which means a lot of money has been changing hands. Money that isn't reported for sure, but used for "investments." So is there some truth to this? Should we stoke the paranoid fire with this kind of information?
Sure. Why the hell not? Let's roll with it. Like I said before, we need to be outraged and revolt against the current bullshit security processes put in place at airports.
This is just further evidence that it's all useless and based on money. Politicians are getting rich while our creepy x-ray naked pictures are being ogled by equally creepy TSA troglodytes. Paranoia out.

Tomorrow, the Landmarks Preservation Commission holds a public hearing on the Proposed Prospect Heights Historic District in Brooklyn, an amoeba-shaped area between, roughly, Flatbush, Washington, Sterling and Pacific. It would grant historic status to some 750 buildings on 21 blocks, which usually offers them protection from demolition or alteration in a way "unfitting with their historic character." The hearing takes place at LPC's offices, One Centre Street in Manhattan, at 1:30pm. But if you wanna weigh in and can't get the time off, you can email them in.

This LPC move is purely political. The buildings on Carlton Avenue between Atlantic And Pacific across the street from the Weinstein monstrosity are not in any way special or historic. Most are in serious disrepair. I mean, they were adjacent to active industrial buildings and slaughter houses for well over 120 years.
The only reason they are doing this is to play their role in filing a frivolous lawsuit against the State for condemning those buildings. The LPC has no authority to landmark state property, and doing this is just a waste of the taxpayer's money.
Poley, what are you talking about? The LPC map doesn't include anything on Carlton between Atlantic and Pacific. There's nothing there. I'm assuming you mean the houses between Pacific and Dean, but those houses aren't condemned as far as I know. They're not in the AY footprint. In fact, there isn't any overlap between the LPC map and the current AY footprint, unless I'm missing something.

You are herePhantom Black Dogs
Phantom Black Dogs
Stories of phantom black dogs abound in Britain, almost every county has its own variant, from the Black Shuck of East Anglia to the Padfoot and Bogey Beast of Yorkshire. Phantom black dogs have been witnessed too frequently in modern times to parcel the phenomena as pure folklore and legend, but then folklore and legend often has origins in real events. There are various theories to explain the phenomena and they seem to have many common traits from sighting to sighting.
In appearance the phantoms vary from region to region, but it is not uncommon for them to be described as calf sized, with saucer eyes and a shaggy coat. Phantom dogs are not always black however, the one that is supposed to haunt the area around Cawthorpe and Haugham in Lincolnshire, is described as white, but still has saucer eyes and is as big as calf. The Cu Sith, the traditional fairy dog of Scotland is dark green in colour, with a shaggy tail up its back. Black dogs are more often than not associated with a specific location such as an old trackway or lane, this is sometimes reflected in the name of the routeway, although not every 'Black Dog Lane' has a tradition of the haunting.
There have been some attempts at classification; the folklorist Theo Brown divided the black dog phenomena into three separate types A, B and C. (A) Being a shape-shifting demon dog; (B) being a dark black dog calf sized with shaggy fur; and (C) a dog that appears in time with certain ancient festivals in specific areas of the country. Katherine Briggs, the renowned folklorist, splits these further into demon dogs, the ghosts of human beings and the ghosts of dogs in their own right.
In local traditions the black dogs sightings are seen as death portents, especially those seen in ancient churchyards in the form of the Church or Kirk Grim (Kirk being the Scottish word for Church), which is thought to represent a folk memory of a sacrifice. The black dog that used to haunt Peel castle and a nearby graveyard on the Isle of Man, is one such grim, it is said to have scared a sentry to death. Other sightings from the South of England, have been related to coincidental sudden deaths. The next two accounts relate to actual deaths by a black dog over four hundred years ago, although it is likely both events were the result of ball lightning:
A weather vane in Bungay Market in Suffolk depicts a black dog and a flash of lighting, it commemorates an event on Sunday the 4th of August 1577. Between nine and ten in the morning while the parishioners of Bungay were at church, a fearful and violent storm broke out, which caused the sky to darken and the church to quake. Suddenly, in the midst of the storm, a black dog appeared within church. Lit by flashes of fire, it ran about the body of the church causing great fear and panic. It passed between two people kneeling at prayer, killing them instantly, and caused another man to shrivel up, severely burned, although he is said to have survived.
About seven miles away in Blythburgh, at around the same time, another black dog (or the same phenomena) appeared in the parish church preceded by the same thunderstorm. This black dog struck three people dead and left scorch marks on the North church door, which can still be seen today.
These two examples suggest phenomena related to the weather conditions, perhaps some form of little understood ball lighting, substantiated by the fact that one person was burned, and the scorch marks on the church door. It is difficult to make any snap judgements because of the long span of time involved from the recorded events.
Other phantom dogs are more benevolent and stories exist of people being helped from tight spots. For example Augustus Hare in his book 'In My Solitary Life' recounts a common tale he heard about a man called Johnnie Greenwood, of Swancliffe. Johnnie had to ride through a wood in darkness for a mile to get to where he was going. At the entrance of the wood he was joined by a black dog, it pattered beside him until he emerged from the trees, whereupon it disappeared as quickly as it had arrived.
On his return journey through the wood, the dog joined him again on the dark woodland path, and disappeared mysteriously when he emerged. Apparently, some years later, two prisoners condemned to death confessed that they had decided to rob and murder Johnny that night in the wood, but the presence of the large black dog had stopped them.
Black dogs often seem to haunt ancient lanes, trackways, crossroads, old churchyards and prehistoric sites. Many of these places were associated with local superstitions and the uncanny, they are liminal places, where the veil between worlds was thought to be thin. The haunts of the black dogs are also features said to denote ley lines, it has been suggested that they represent some form of energy or natural phenomena moulded by the mind into an archetype of the black dog. A great deal of work has been done by earth mystery researchers to suggest that certain geophysical conditions may affect the human mind. These places were recognised by ancient man, and that is why black dogs (as some form of archetype) appear at places of ancient sanctity. This same theory has been applied to other unexplained phenomena.
Gallows sites (often crossroads) were also common black dog haunts, the black dog was often seen as the spirit of the executed criminal, such as the dog said to haunt a gallows site in Tring, Hertfordshire: An old woman was drowned for witchcraft at Tring in the year 1751. A chimney sweep was held responsible in part for the killing, and was hanged and gibbeted near to the place of the crime. A black dog came to haunt the place where the gibbet stood, and was seen by the village schoolmaster. He described it as being shaggy, as big as a Newfoundland, with long ears and a tail, eyes of flaming fire and long teeth. It is interesting to note that at first the black dog appeared as a standing flame. Flames and scorched earth being another aspect associated with sightings.
Black dogs are also seen as guardians of treasure, especially in Scotland. A black dog was said to guard treasure buried under a standing stone near Murthley in Perthshire, here we have an account of a black dog at an ancient site and as a guardian of treasure.
In summery it seems that the phenomena of phantom dogs is a complex mix of folklore, sightings, and local superstition, which has roots reaching far into the past. There are probably a myriad of different explanations for modern sightings, and a phantom black dog is a powerful archetype, incorporated into modern stories such as the 'Hound of the Baskervilles' by Arthur Conan Doyle. We hope to delve into the mystery further in the future, including some of the many folk tales associated with them.

I had a very large, short haired dog...appear next to me years ago in Fla when I had to walk to a store in a very bad neighborhood. He stayed next to me, had no collar on & was seen by the clerk at the register of a 711 store. He disapeared just as fast as he came. I had to walk 6 blks into a very violent hashin, drug infested area. I closed my eyes and actually prayed for a big blk dog to appear & before I could finish the prayer, I felt a nudge on my right thigh. Wow! talk about wild. To this day, I feel like he kept me from getting raped or robbed. Sharlotte S. French
I have written a supernatural thriller about Black Shuck as a result of my experiences on the North Norfolk Coast - see http://www.black-shuck.co.uk
For centuries Black Shuck has patrolled the coastal paths of Norfolk - a spectral portent of death. But recent events have allowed the massive phantom dog to evolve, to metamorphose, into something altogether more horrifying. Gaining strength and powers by the day, Shuck has developed a gruesome appetite - a hunger the hell hound sets out to satiate ...
Wildlife film-maker Harry Lambert needs a serious rest. His colleague and best friend is dead, his wife has left him and his career has derailed. A spot of bird-watching on the Norfolk coast should help ... but when Harry stumbles into Black Shuck's territory, the fearsome beast finds what it was looking for ...

Unfortunately, where I work, the role of ID and UI engineer are forced into 1 person: me. Therefore, I don't have the luxury, authority, or maybe, the self-discipline to suggest the hard-to-implement drag-n-drop DHTML design.
I am leaning towards option (b) : The user changes the order number in a textbox to change the row order, as opposed to (a): provide up/down buttons and a selection list.
Here is my reasoning. Please comment.
There are numerous edit pages for this my.yahoo-style front-end application, that require reordering of items in a table.
I'm new to this field so my language may not be quite up to par with conventions, but hopefully this makes some sense and some of you may have some advice for me.
I'm working on a school project with the task of designing an interface for a digital frame where the user can directly insert a memory card into the frame, and then complete all functions with a touch-screen interface.
Context: let's say that a webpage has a set of panels for individual news sources...like my.yahoo.
Problem: How to allow the user to edit the sequential order the panels? Assume that the user successfully navigates to the edit page.
There are 2 ways that I have seen of doing this:
(a) Provide a selection list with up and down arrows. - my.yahoo and my.msn does this.
(b) Provide a text box next to each row, with an order number: 10, 20, 30. To move row 30 between 10 and 20, the user would have to change the number to 15.

How about Group/Ungroup? A common approach in draw apps, a simple application of the Composite design pattern: the user chooses to create a single super-selection which they can easily revert to a multi-selection.

Okay, one last update... I forgot to include the date.
Since most of us will be at the conference before hand, we can meet in the hotel lobby of the conference. We'll meet there at 7:10pm. Otherwise, see you at Manuel's.
So far we have a group of 25 people.
Just to clarify, the dinner is on Saturday night...
Todd R.
Just wanted to send an update to those of you who will be attending the IA Summit informal dinner, as I know most of us will be traveling over the next couple of days.
One of the attendees, thank you Richard, made a brilliant suggestion - meet somewhere before the dinner. Since most of us will be at the conference before hand, we can meet in the hotel lobby of the conference. We'll meet there at 7:10pm. Otherwise, see you at Manuel's.
Hi there, sorry for the late subject drift.
I'm not sure about the qualitative / quantitative divide being the key in determining the real stumbling block here. I do agree, however, that our area is completely 'siloed' into specializations that are keeping good design/architecture from happening. I like the qualitative and quantitative assessment, but it proves, to me, to be more of a perspective for strengthening the duality of the field and not providing any real bridge amongst the various silos, never mind the tech/art divide.
The main problem is the programming languages.

EDMONTON - Geotechnical engineers remained at the Obed Mountain coal mine Sunday trying to determine how one billion litres of murky water leaked from a containment pond into the Athabasca River.
A barrier gave way on Halloween, allowing liquid containing coal dust, sand and dirt to flow through two creeks into the Athabasca, said Darin Barter, a spokesman for the Alberta Energy Regulator.
"I haven't seen this happen. Coal mine incidents and pit leak incidents are really rare," he said. "I was surprised this could happen."
The Obed Mountain mine, owned by Sherritt International and now undergoing reclamation since operations were suspended last November, is about 30 kilometres northeast of Hinton.
The dirty water travelled 25 kilometres to the Athabasca, forming a muddy plume now floating downstream, Alberta Environment spokeswoman Jessica Potter said.
Department staff and Alberta Health Services were analyzing water samples to determine if anything in the sediment could cause environmental or health problems, she said.
"There's actually quite a noticeable change of colour (in the river)," she said. "It's like muddy water … murky, muddy water."
The leading edge of the plume, which is slowly dissipating, was between Whitecourt and Athabasca on Sunday.
Investigators don't know how long the plume is because aircraft needed to monitor the situation were unable to fly in the snowy weekend weather.
However, most communities in the area don't take their drinking water from the river, and municipal water systems are designed to filter out suspended solids anyway, Potter said.
Ten communities were notified about the release as a precaution, including Whitecourt, Hinton, Athabasca, Yellowhead and Woodland counties, and the Alexis Nakota Sioux and Alexander First Nations.
Generally, mines, oilsands and other energy sites are designed so water from operations as well as surface water from rain or melting snow flows into ponds, Potter said.
They hold the liquid until the sediment settles out and it's safe to release.
The murky water passed through Whitecourt on Saturday night, Mayor Maryann Chichak said.
"The province and Sherritt Coal have both been very expedient in getting all their departments on board, ensuring any communities downstream were notified," she said.
"It hasn't had any impact on our community."
Sherritt restarted mining at Obed Mountain in 2009 after the facility was shut down by Luscar six years earlier.
An estimated one million cubic metres (or one billion litres) of water containing fine clays, mudstone, sandstone, shale and fine coal flowed out of the breached pond, which is now empty, a Sherritt official said.
That's roughly 500 times the amount of water in the Kinsmen Sports Centre's five-metre-deep dive tank.
The materials in the pond are inert and aren't toxic to humans or fish, the Sherritt official said in an email, asking not to be named because she's not a company spokesperson.
The mine's main pond has been inspected and is sound, she said. The company has dispatched an emergency response firm and staff from other operations to help with remediation.
Barter said the energy regulator sent engineers to the mine Friday, but couldn't say how long it will take them to determine what happened.
The regulator approved and licensed the pond, he said, although he didn't have information immediately available on how many similar structures there are in Alberta or how often they're inspected.
In 2008, the RCMP deployed laser monitors to help crews successfully stabilize the slumping wall of an ash lagoon at TransAlta's Keephills power plant, where 1.5 billion litres of toxic ash and water were stored.
Major Canadian oil sands companies have come together in an unprecedented move to collaborate and advance technologies to accelerate the pace of environmental performance improvement.
"East, west and south - all are important," Greg Stringham, CAPP VP Oil Sands said. "It is not a question of one or the other as Canada's strong resource endowment will need additional transportation capacity to all markets over the longer term."
"This report highlights the oil and gas industry's activities in the Atlantic Canada offshore and acts as a complement to the 2013 Responsible Canadian Energy progress report. Based on performance, it outlines how, through continuous improvement, the offshore industry is progressing toward meeting the RCE vision and principles. "
Safety is our industry's top priority and oil sands development must occur in a manner that keeps people safe, and benefits their overall quality of life.
Between 2002 and 2011, Canadian Energy Pipeline Association member companies were able to transport oil and natural gas with a 99.999% safety record.
Oil sands are a mixture of sand, water, clay and bitumen. Bitumen is oil that is too heavy or thick to flow or be pumped without being diluted or heated.
A pocket book designed to give you fast, easy access to oil sands facts that will help you get in on the discussion.
Learn what the oil sands are and how they're developed as well as whats being done to protect the environment, pioneer technology, reclaim land, engage communities, and provide economic opportunities.
Oil sands are recovered using two main methods: open-pit mining and in situ drilling. The method depends on how deep the reserves are deposited.
Canada's oil sands have drawn interest for more than 200 years. Historical documents date back as far as 1715, when James Knight, Factor of Fort York, wrote in his journal about "gum or pitch that flows out of the banks of a river" (the Athabasca).

"At ease, soldier. These days I possess no rank. A briefing would be appreciated - relief from what, exactly?" Moritheil: Spoiler To the man and the woman: <<In addition, please excuse my travelling companion. His ways are foreign and often strange, but I know him to be an honourable man.>>
Cerran listens to each of his companions in turn. Aer had a fair point - currently the group was unharassed and prepared to fight if needs be. Who knows what might be pressing them if they had to retreat this way. Demons. Memories flashed across Cerran's mind, of the Second Battle and a score of battles from a score of lives. Bloodshed. That's all they care about. That and their infernal Blood War. Purging them from this land was the responsible course of action. "We are equipped to deal with these foes, and I'd rather not have them behind us as we venture further into potentially hostile territory... particularly given their history of cooperation with the undead." Turning to the man who had approached them, Cerran continues "I'm sorry, sir, I did not get your name. We will need as much information as possible if we are going to undertake this. First, and foremost, who is leading these demons? They are chaotic, ravenous creatures at the best of times - there must be something keeping them organised and in line. Secondly, do you have an estimate of their numbers?" Cerran pauses for a moment, and then addresses his comrades. "Oro, I fight now and ever for Order. With regard to strategy, I believe we might be able to surprise the demons at their own game. I can detect the presence and location of any creature within one hundred feet, unless they are shielded by powerful magics or possess no living sentient mind. And if the demons try to get the jump on us via teleportation, we should have warning and time to turn the tables."

My parents are having an apartment put in their basement for my husband and I to make it more financially easy on us for a year or two so we can save for a nicer place eventually... Which my husband is building because he's a carpenter... And All the walls are up all we are waiting on is for my brother in law to spackle ... Which he keeps putting off and everytime I tell my husband to just do it he tells us know and promises me "tomorrow" so finally the other day after so many lost promises I LOST it and flipped lol told him to forget it I'll frigin do it I'm 7 months pregnant and it needs to be done so I can be settled before possible nesting sets in.... Now my sister in law and her husband of course are like "oh it must be cuz she's pregnant now she's throwing little hissy fits"... Maybe I just want you to do what u promised us u would do because you spackle for a living!!! Ugh... And my husband never knows how to express to his family when he's mad at them so now I'm just "a crazy pregnant bi*ch" lol....

Hunny I feel you on this one. We moved out of our house last weekend and are currently living with my parents. We close on our house on Feb. 15. Then we have 2 months of renovations! I'm due April 21 and have always had my babies atleast 3 weeks early. I'm a wreck. If I were you I would give him until Feb. 1st. Then you have to move on. I would bring it up casually to the in laws that you're hiring someone to do it. Then when they say why I would say because it needs to be done and you aren't begging and looking like a crazy person anymore.

I totally understand where you are coming from. When my DH and I bought our house 3.5 years ago BIL said he would tile our kitchen floor. We waited 2 years of " next weekend I'll be able to do it." I hired someone else and he was pissed that we didn't wait for him to do it.

The pHit Scanner is the world's first calibration-free pH meter and Senova Systems' first product offering. Available for purchase starting this month, the pHit Scanner's entirely new and unique technology platform incorporates an advanced sensor and electronics into a novel product design, eliminating glass electrodes and significantly enhancing usability compared to traditional pH meters. pH is one of the most widely measured properties in a diverse range of industries including pharmaceutical, medical, chemical, academic research, food and beverage and environmental testing.
The pHit Scanner is virtually maintenance-free, can be stored dry and its glass-free design eliminates the threat of broken pH electrodes. The pHit Scanner delivers significant cost savings by eliminating the time and expense associated with calibrating and maintaining delicate glass electrodes. The solid-state sensor also reduces signal drift for more accurate and reliable measurement.
"We are honoured and thrilled to be the recipient of the 2013 Pittcon Editors' Gold Award, which is a testament to the breakthrough technology of our pHit Scanner," said Lee Leonard, CEO of Senova Systems. "Since its inception over 63 years ago, Pittcon has been one of the most important international conferences for laboratory science. We were gratified by the accolades we received from the press, as well as by the hundreds of inquiries from prospective customers. The pHit Scanner clearly represents the future in pH measurement."
