My boyfriend and I are interested in a post-Christmas December - January vacation to the Caribbean. I'm a total noob when it comes to the Caribbean, and I've never been snorkeling or scuba-diving before, so any advice is appreciated.
We are looking for something romantic and calm but still has plenty of activities. I don't want to just lie on the beach all day. On the other hand, I'm wary of noisy tourist traps. I don't have a specific budget at the moment. I'd like to see what the best is and eliminate things if they are completely outside our range.
Our number one criteria is great snorkeling and scuba diving with the chance to see a lot of exotic marine life. Walk-in snorkeling would a plus but not totally necessary. Other criteria would be nice beaches and availability of more upscale restaurants/lounges. Things we don't care about are shopping and nightlife.
Also, I know this is a complete long shot, but I would be very interested in any places that have a good chance of seeing WILD animals such as sharks or even dolphins. I read about Stingray City in Grand Cayman, which sounds very cool, but it is a tourist trap? I don't want to see some poor half-domesticated stingrays manhandled by greedy tour operators.
I've read a lot of rankings and articles about Turks & Caicos as the best place for snorkeling. However, I've also read that a lot of people seem to think that Grand Cayman, Bahamas, or Cozumel are the best. I'm completely open to anywhere. Let me know what you think, much appreciated!
Best Places for Snorkeling/Scuba Diving Adventures?

EDIT: I should clarify, if that is not the case at Grand Cayman, it jumps very high on my list. I'm just wary since it seems too good to be true that stingrays would feel comfortable swimming amongst a bunch of snorkelers.

Both TCI and GC should offer what you are looking for - upscale accomodations, great dining, killer beach(es), fantastic diving (better chance of seeing sharks in TCI, more sites in GC), lack of nightlife (TCI more so than GC), lack of shopping (more so in TCI), awesome snorkeling (GC more so than TCI), wild dolphins (JoJo in Provo and Stinky in GC).
Sting Ray City sand bar or dive site can certainly appear to be a tourist trap, but trust me, it is an awe inspiring natural expereience you will find hard to forget. Just do a search for reviews of Sting Ray City and read how many people thought it would be a hokey outing, only to return praising how cool it was I am one of those). -

Although a completely different kind of trip, perhaps, you should consider Belize. The diving and snorkeling is top notch.
Beaches are not as good as Caymen or T&C by a long shot.
However, in addition to dolphins, rays and sharks, you could do tours on mainland Belize and see a couple different species of monkeys, crocodiles, possibly toucans. -

cozumel has good snorkeling but would be most touristy of your choices. bahamas will be too cool - both air & water temps.
if you want to dive, take the paper portion of the dive course on line from home. click the open water course link from http://www.padi.com/scuba/ then do the in the water portion on island. no point using vacation time for studying!
you are correct that gc & t&c has some of best snorkel/dive.
t&c has some of the best dining in the islands, but lacks nonwater oriented activities - the beach is stunning & almost every resort is beachfront.
grand caymen has good dining, a few low key sights - turtle farm, dolphin experience http://www.dolphindiscovery.com/grand-cayman/cayman-location-overview.asp , botanical gardens http://www.botanic-park.ky/
& mastic trail which is hike thru indigenous interior area. my best friend is a very experienced diver & thought stingray city was wonderful & not hokey
the stingrays started massing in this location some time ago when fishermen used to stop in the vicinity to clean their catch. they continue to come out of habit plus the tour operaters give you fish pieces to entice them.
if your budget is generous you could consider palm island resort in st. vincent & grenadines. http://www.palmislandresortgrenadines.com/
it's a small private island with boat access to what most consider best snorkeling in caribbean at tobago cays. http://tobagocays.org/ food is good but not really many other activities.
another option is somewhere in the vicinity of akumal, mexico which is about 75 mins south of cancun. small town, good snorkel/diving & tons of to do's like touring mayan ruins, ziplines, atv jungle rides, exploring cenotes, 2 eco marine fun parks & duty free shopping in playa del carmen, & very bduget friendly. you can find info on the area at locogringo.com
once you choose a location & budget we can help you find lodging. -

Thanks for the tips everyone! I think we have narrowed it down to either Cayman or Bahamas. We are considering Bahamas simply because I feel it is a lot cheaper than Cayman, especially with the flight alone. Also, one thing that attracted us to Bahamas is the option of the shark dive. It sounds terrifying but I would love to see a shark!
As far as lodging, I think we've decided on a budget of less than $300/night. What can you recommend for both places? We are interested in either villas or a nice hotel. -

It could potentially be fairly chilly in the Bahamas when you want to travel. It isn't very far south......not really even in the Caribbean....

bahamas: air temps in jan will average 65 to low 70's. you might get a day of 75. water temps will be in low 70's & full 3mm wetsuits are advised.
gc: air 75-85. ocean 78-82. westin or marriott. condos; plantana, discovery point, christopher columbus, villas of the galleon. http://www.caymanvacations.com/grand-cayman-rental-condos.shtml the northern end of the beach offers more privacy. -

For that budget at peak season you need to look into Cozumel or Costa Maya (Tulum)
Your other choices are a lit more during that time period.
My suggestions meet your criteria and will be in your budget. -
Report Abuse
Is there anyway you can go the first or second week of December? You will find much better prices. We go somewhere every year at that time because it's so much more economical.
Grand Cayman has everything your looking for. T & C is a good second choice. The Bahamas will be too cool to enjoy that time of year. -
Report Abuse
Hmm, okay, thanks, I totally ignored a basic detail such as weather! LOL! I actually think 60s-70s air temps are perfect, but since we are determined to snorkel, I think that may rule out Bahamas...
After looking at some hotel prices I still think GC is within our budget. I did see that prices essentially double during the time period we are considering, but unfortunately that's the only time we can go due to work. I will also look some more at Cozumel but I think we are still leaning towards Cayman.
Also, we are probably going to rule out a villa or condo since it seems too pricey. I saw a couple hotels on 7 Mile Beach have "island/garden view" rooms for less than $300. As long as the hotel itself (not necessarily the room) is on the beach, we don't mind. Do these have nice beaches? I read some reviews of the more secluded hotels that are away from 7 Mile Beach, and some people seemed to say they had rocky beaches. -
Report Abuse
Since it is your first time to Grand Cayman, the best place to stay is the Seven Mile Beach area. The Westin has the best beach of all Seven Mile Beach hotels, it was a bit run down, but it is being renovated at this time. The Marriott has little beach front. The Ritz Carlton and the Beach Suites are out of your price range. The Comfort Suites and the Sunshine Suites are not on the beach. the Comfort Suites has a path to the beach and the Sunshine Suites is across a busy street from the beach.
The hotels in the East End and Boddentown area have rocky beaches. They area also away from most of the restaurants and bars. -

Great stretch of beach at the Westin. Good info on places to snorkel off Grand Cayman, though the better areas are not near Seven Mile Beach.

My husband is a PADI certified scuba diver but I am not. I wanted to snorkel with the sting rays. One of the dives my husband did with Bob Soto Diving was to a site where he did his dive with the sting rays and I, along with some others, got to snorkel among them. This site is out in the ocean-open water-so it can be choppy for snorkeling. This may not be for you if you've never snorkeled before. This is not the shallow sting ray site where mobs of tourists go. I'm only recommending this if one or both of you are certified. If not, the shallow walk in site will give you the experience of being up close and personal with the rays. On GC you can visit the turtle farm, the rum factory, and Hell. They are all close to each other. We had a rental car (driving is opposite the US) so had the freedom to drive all over the island.
As for seeing sharks while snorkeling-Ambergris Caye/Belieze. At the one site we snorkeled with the rays and nurse sharks.
In the Bahamas my husband did a shark dive but you have to be certified.
The Bahamas may be too cold that time of year. It was perfect when we went-in June.

He was born in Parma, Italy, in 1209. It was when he was a young philosophy professor known for his piety and learning that God called him to bid good-bye to the world he was used to and enter the new world of the Franciscan Order. After his profession John was sent to Paris to complete his theological studies. Ordained to the priesthood, he was appointed to teach theology at Bologna, then Naples and finally Rome.
In 1245, Pope Innocent IV called a general council in the city of Lyons, France. Crescentius, the Franciscan minister general at the time, was ailing and unable to attend. In his place he sent Father John, who made a deep impression on the Church leaders gathered there. Two years later, when the same pope presided at the election of a minister general of the Franciscans, he remembered Father John well and held him up as the man best qualified for the office.
And so, in 1247, John of Parma was elected to be minister general. The surviving disciples of St. Francis rejoiced in his election, expecting a return to the spirit of poverty and humility of the early days of the Order. And they were not disappointed. As general of the Order John traveled on foot, accompanied by one or two companions, to practically all of the Franciscan convents in existence. Sometimes he would arrive and not be recognized, remaining there for a number of days to test the true spirit of the brothers.
The pope called on John to serve as legate to Constantinople, where he was most successful in winning back the schismatic Greeks. Upon his return he asked that someone else take his place to govern the Order. St. Bonaventure, at John's urging, was chosen to succeed him. John took up a life of prayer in the hermitage at Greccio.
Many years later, John learned that the Greeks, who had been reconciled with the Church for a time, had relapsed into schism. Though 80 years old by then, John received permission from Pope Nicholas IV to return to the East in an effort to restore unity once again. On his way, John fell sick and died.
He was beatified in 1781.

No imposing entrance or red carpet awaits you here. No clue on the outside that behind the centuries-old frontage on Oude Houtlei is an ancient cloister: PoortAckere. We are an oasis of peace, hidden away from the bustle of the city. Once inside you find yourself in a former nunnery whose history goes back to 1278. The building that turned its back on the world for so many centuries now reveals its secrets to a few favoured guests. The atmosphere is serene and restful, as befits an age-old neo-gothic building. And yet PoortAckere retains its unique character, as a medieval cloister with its own history. It is its domesticity that gives the building its charm. In the 'Kapittelzaal', chapter house, looking on to the garden culinary delights await you. You can enjoy your breakfast buffet or a relaxed dinner served under the tracery of neo-gothic arches. In the guest-house a feeling of peace, freedom and unconcern comes over you in the more austere neo-gothic part of the guesthouse. There are simple, authentic convent cells with a washbasin and communal showers and toilets in the hall and there is a television in the double rooms. Perhaps you will sleep in the St Cecilia room or the monastery cell where sister Philomena stayed for so many years. |

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Brothers and Keepers demonstrates Wideman's complex personal, sociological, and artistic response to his brother Rob's life sentence for murder in 1978. In it he sees writ large the pathological interplay of white exploitation, racist neglect, and internal despair that have intensified, rather than lessened, in America's cities since the 1960's. Like the narrator of The Homewood Trilogy, Wideman presents himself with a bittersweet awareness that, in contrast to Rob, his lifelong efforts to straddle black and white cultural expectations have made him an incongruous figure in both worlds. The book opens in 1976 with the writer in the doubly white world of a snowy late winter in Laramie, Wyoming, where he teaches at the university, waiting intuitively for word from his fugitive younger brother even as he also deals with the aftermath of his infant daughter Jamila's traumatic birth.
In facing Rob when he does arrive, and in their subsequent meetings in jail over the years, Wideman recognizes that their polarized circumstances provocatively express the duality of the African American's psychological legacy in the United States. Ironically, each has pursued a path he has equated with the American Dream of material success and personal self-definition: John in the "safe" and deracinated terms of career and family championed by white society, Rob along more dangerous lines that challenge racist obstacles through illegal channels promising the glamor of the outlaw. Both men, despite their very different choices, now find themselves fumbling to recover what they sacrificed in pursuit of America's elusive seduction of "making it." Wideman also contextualizes his personal and familial anguish within a layered analysis of the American penal system that renders imprisonment a political, cultural, and...

Summary (Identities & Issues in Literature)
Brothers and Keepers, John Edgar Wideman's most popular novel, is a psychologically realistic portrait of two brothers. Although they grow up in the same environment, Homewood, these brothers travel diverse paths. Wideman is a black star pulsing brilliantly in a white universe; his brother, Robby, sinks into a life of crime and drug addiction. Robby's path leads to his serving a life sentence without parole for taking part in a robbery in which a man was killed. Brothers and Keepers is a novel of tragic dimensions, grave despair, and spiritual survival.
This novel had to be written as much for Wideman as for Robby. It is a homecoming for Wideman—a return to the community of brotherhood, concern, and understanding. In part 1, "Visits," readers learn that although Wideman never sees his color as an obstacle to his own success, he views Robby as a black victim of society's ills: "A brother behind bars, my own flesh and blood, raised in the same house by the same mother and father; a brother confined in prison has to be a mistake, a malfunctioning of the system."
In the second part of the novel, "Our Time," Wideman describes his growth and maturation while he spends time with his brother on visits to the prison. Wideman is seen as searching for his own identity while he searches for reasons for Robby's fall from grace. Learning that he needs as much help as Robby does, Wideman gains respect for Robby's intelligence. Wideman also learns the truth about the foiled robbery attempt.
In the final section, "Doing Time," a spirituality operates to bring harmony to the two brothers. Especially moving is Robby's graduation speech as he receives his associate degree, and his promise to Wideman that he will "forever pray." From a sociological point of view, it is interesting that prison can rehabilitate someone like Robby and motivate him to work on his education. It is an equally moving experience to see Wideman connect with his own identity and return to his roots. Wideman learns that he cannot escape genetics or the ghetto. Until Robby is free, Wideman is not free.

Our soft tissue sarcoma nomogram is an online tool that can help to predict the likelihood of survival at 12 years following surgery for the disease. It also predicts the probability of survival for patients at five years following recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma.
This nomogram was designed to be used by physicians and people with soft tissue sarcoma. If you are a patient, we recommend that you use this tool in consultation with your doctor.
The nomogram is designed to make predictions for adult patients who are no more than six months past their surgery and who had no evidence of metastasis at the time of surgery.
This nomogram is not appropriate for patients who have experienced local or systemic recurrence following surgery. (Nomograms for predicting recurrence and metastases are under development.) It is not designed to make predictions for childhood soft tissue sarcoma. This nomogram is also not appropriate for patients whose sarcoma site was the skin.
Subtle differences in pathological subtype, or other variables not included in the nomogram, may make a difference for individual prediction. Our nomogram only utilizes routine predictors that are commonly available and, as a result, is not a substitute for a consultation with your doctor.
This nomogram and its results may be useful for treatment planning, patient counseling, follow-up scheduling, and determining whether a patient would be eligible for a clinical trial.
In order for this nomogram to provide an accurate prediction, you will need to include accurate values for all of the information below.
To better understand the results of the nomogram, patients should discuss the results of the nomogram with their doctors.
Use our soft tissue sarcoma nomogram.

BirdFest strengthens community ties
Published on Wed, Mar 25, 2009

The sixth Olympic BirdFest, April 3-5, will attract many birders, but the festival also has much to offer non-birders.
"We are increasing our ties to the arts community and offering more events of interest to the broader community each year," said Jim Richard, Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society president.
OPAS, which sponsors the annual festival, recently gave its first awards in the 15th annual Sequim Arts Student Art Show.
"We are proud to recognize these talented young artists and display their award-winning pieces," he said.
The Dungeness River Audubon Center at 2151 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim, will display the bird art of Miranda Robertson (sophomore, Sequim High), Lacey Tenneson (senior, Sequim High), Emily Anderson (seventh grade, Sequim Middle School), and Katie Fritz (sophomore, home school) during BirdFest and throughout April.
On April 1, bidding opens for the BirdFest silent auction. The public is invited to place bids for the works of a dozen local artists, gift certificates from local businesses and organizations, theme baskets and other items.
The items will be on display at the River Center with the exception of two: An eagle photograph, "Padding the Nest," by Ron Carlson, and a whimsical sculpture by Nancy Lawrence will be on display at the Blue Whole Gallery, 129 W. Washington St., Sequim. Bidding will close April 4.
Two additional public interest events happen at the River Center during BirdFest weekend.
Sequim wood sculptor Bill Lohnes will be carving and selling his beautiful birds Friday and Saturday morning, April 3-4.
Award-winning nature photographers Ken and Mary Campbell of Port Angeles will conduct a nature photography workshop from 12:30-4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 3. Fees are $40 for BirdFest registrants and $50 for others. To register, call 681-4076.
Other events
Fifteen guided birding trips will be held in the Sequim-Port Angeles area, ranging from the Salt Creek/Elwha River to
Sequim and Dungeness bays and a birding boat trip around Protection Island.
A popular community event during BirdFest is the Northwest Raptor Center's live bird demonstration. This year the free event will be at 7 p.m. Friday, April 3, in the Sequim High School cafeteria, 601 N. Sequim Ave. Donations for the Raptor Center will be accepted.
On Friday, Jamestown S'Klallam tribal members will discuss the meanings of the totems that grace the tribal headquarters and 7 Cedars Casino.
A tour of the Elwha River dams that are scheduled for removal in 2012 will take place Saturday, April 4. Experts will explain the engineering involved in removing each of the two dams and how the fisheries and ecology of the watershed will change when the Elwha returns to being a free-flowing river.
On Sunday, a three-day, two-night cruise of the San Juan Islands will leave John Wayne Marina. Participants can expect to see a great variety of birds, seals, porpoises and, with a little luck, even whales.
Tickets still are available for the BirdFest salmon banquet on Saturday evening, April 4, at the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribal Center. Locally grown foods from the Sequim-Dungeness Valley complement the salmon.
Keynote speaker is Dr. Julia Parrish: "Biodiversity, Biomass, and Behavior: Forces Affecting Seabirds in Washington Waters." Preregistration is required; tickets are $30. To register, call 681-4076.

There were talks of

Community's been delayed:
Which means they might use it to fill a void left when Animal Practice or some other new show gets canceled.
Oh yeah, Whitney got delayed too.
NBC said in a statement that the network's success in launching new and returning series over the past few weeks made it clear that they needed to "continue to concentrate our promotional strength on our new shows that are scheduled Monday through Wednesday."
Which means they might use it to fill a void left when Animal Practice or some other new show gets canceled.

Also, Whitney's been given a premiere-date -- I think it's taking Animal Practice's place. With Practice canceled, there's a primetime monkey-slot wide open for Annie's Boobs. ...I'll admit, if this is an example of the new crew's stuff, it's hearteningly familiar without feeling too pastiche. Still keeping fingers crossed. Rolling Stone gave the first episode a rave review. It said the show is just as weird and funny as it always has been.

Those of you who don't know, a group of us went to Paramount Studios for the HTF meet. Part of us went to Happy Endings sets and the rest of us got to go inside Greendale. I was one of the lucky ones that got to walk inside Greendale Community college. I walked around inside the cafeteria. Saw Shirley's sandwiches. Also stepped inside the rec room area where the vending machines, pool table and sofas are at. Saw Annie's bedroom Walked inside of the library, all parts of it including the study groups main room. Walked inside of the principal's front office area. Walked the halls. Looked at all the flyers and posters they had hanging up. Saw the outside bulletin boards they scatter about the outside of Greendale. Quite an amazing experience. Others had a different experience. When people find the time to report back with their HTF experience, Head on over to the Hollywood 2012 meet area to read people's accounts of what they got to see and do.

The front entrance of the library is actually 12th street, Studio 32 Just outside the doors of the library, you can see another set of doors, Those doors say Greendale on them, but it's actually a prop dept.

Nice that it's going to be on Thursdays again, instead of the Friday Death-Slot™, but holy cow, can they not put it at a :30-spot? Still, good news. If it's gonna be that close to sweeps, NBC should be giving it a halfway-decent promotional-push, at the very least.

Chevy Chase has left the building. He evidently won't be in the final 1-2 episodes of the show. Wasn't fired/didn't quit. "Mutual decision": http://www.huffingto...=green&ir=green "Darkest Timeline," indeed. Chevy is a miserable, bitter old man who hasn't been funny in ages, and this show made him funny again. Then, of course, he ruins it by helping to get Harmon fired, and well...he won't be on TV again for a long time after this. Well, he will be when he drops dead.

The Chase-news is sending me to YouTube, to look for Stephen Colbert's part of the Chevy Chase Roast. And I found it. It might be better without him. If he was being combative with the writers, and didn't want to be there, I welcome the change. His character was sort of marginalized last season anyway. He can look back fondly at how he shit all over the last people who ever hired him. I think Lindsay Lohan is more employable at this point.

So, just to clarify...Community is somehow "beneath" Chevy Chase, whereas this is not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEBGC62pjwA I seriously doubt we'll get another season, so I want them to go all-out and do a straight up "Poochie"-exit for Pierce, complete with a freeze-frame cutout flying offscreen. "I have to go now, my home planet needs me." Then just pretend he never existed for the final two episodes (except for the fact that he's gonna be in those episodes).

Actually, scratch that -- I hope they go the "Chef"-route from South Park, and give Pierce an extended, violent, humiliating send-off. I think this show could pull it off. It's ready.

Minecraft Meets FPS - Ace Of Spades Hands-On
Ryan King It's Minecraft! But you can shoot the blocks. And other players. And blow them up. No killstreaks though.Published on Nov 20, 2012 Ace Of Spades is Minecraft meets FPS. Have a look at aceofspades.com to see. Have a look at these screenshots to see. See? Minecraft meets FPS. Minecraft Meets FPS
It's simple. Ace Of Spades can be played as a straight up 8 vs. 8 FPS game in a world that looks as though it was assembled on the Minecraft factory floor, being built out of voxel blocks, bright colours and straight lines. Secondly, it's strangely empowering knowing everything in the world falls apart thanks to your firepower, and it's great fun leaving your battle scars across Ace Of Spades' colourful playgrounds. Manic Miner
Four classes bring unique skills to the battle. Scout is the fastest, packing a SMG as his weapon of choice while Engineer can set up mines and gun turrets. Soldier is the cigar-chomping all-rounder and Miner can build and clear blocks the fastest. Token Zombies Mode
Likewise, there's a zombies mode. Boo zombies! Zombies are boring! Boring zombies! Boo! That's the instinctive reaction to any zombies mode nowadays but when you play the variant in Ace Of Spades, you come to realise it's actually refreshingly different. Minecraft Meets FPS (How Many More Times Do We Need To Say It?)
At the very, very basic level, Ace Of Spades can be played as though it's a FPS game with destructible environments. At a ever-so-slightly-less-than-basic level, you can chip away at the world, carving out shortcuts, destroying everything around you. We're grown men with neckbeards that smell of ham and yet even we tittered with glee at the vibrancy and chaos of Ace Of Spades. It's an impossible game not to love and given its budget price point when it releases in early December, we predict great things for this quirky shooter. Tags |

May 24, 2013 Pebble HuntingHow Pitchers Age at the PlateYou'll notice that Tim Lincecum isn't very good these days. He's actually quite bad. It's hard to watch him sometimes, especially when he's matched up against a good opponent, knowing he's become so likely to lose the battle. That's what happens, I suppose: pitchers get older, they get worse. Not his pitching, though. I'm talking about his hitting. Lincecum has one measly hit this season, a little groundball single through the hole between shortstop and third base. He has struck out 12 times in 16 official at-bats. Just six players—five pitchers, and Khris Davis, who R.J. brilliantly describes as "Chris Davis with more K"—have a lower contact rate on pitches in the strike zone. This isn't really about Tim Lincecum, who has just 16 official at-bats. It's about the aging curve for pitcher's hitting. We basically know the aging curves in baseball, and most either go up-up-up-peak-down-down-down (like hitters hitting) or they go down-down-down-down-down-down (like defense) or they're a bit more complicated but generally resemble one of those (like pitcher's pitching). But there's another possible aging curve that you could imagine but don't see much, and that one goes up-up-up-up-up-up. For instance, maybe team leadership, if we could ever measure it, would be an up-up-up. Pitchers hitting used to be an up-up-up. Pitchers used to come into the league terrible at hitting, then get progressively better as they aged, at least as a cohort. In the 10 years from 1954 to 1963, for instance—a period chosen basically at random, except that I hoped to avoid any extreme swings on the league-wide offensive environment —this is how each age tier (tiers also chosen arbitrarily) performed:
So you see a trend and your brain fills in reasons for why this would be*, whether the mechanics of it make any sense. In this case, sure, it makes sense. Pitchers aren't hitters, and they don't have nearly the exposure to elite pitching that hitters do. They're overmatched when they arrive, and probably terrified out of their minds, as we all would be and as we all would be. Through years of exposure they get a bit more comfortable. It might help that they also get stronger, just as regular hitters do, though we don't see the same decline in the 30s, so probably more likely it's about getting accustomed, about adjusting to the first few hundred major-league fastballs and curveballs.

Recently, I was talking with an information technology/telecom engineer who was excited about smart phone apps being developed for home automation. From his perspective, smart grid technology is all about the last 50 feet or so between meters and appliances, solar panels and electric vehicles. But experts working in the smart grid trenches know better: The critical challenge is having the right networks on the utility side of the meter.
Without the right communications platform, a utility's smart grid deployment could create a financial sinkhole and plenty of buyer's remorse.
The Challenge
Electric utilities generally avoid being the first to try new technologies, except maybe as pilots. However, communications strategies fall squarely on individual utilities rather than industry consensus, because no single approach applies to all utilities. Local constraints and issues such as existing communications infrastructure, customer mix and density, geography and even regulatory climate will affect technology selection.
Individual utilities will need to answer some tough questions: How many networks are required? Should networking be public, private or both? How can system obsolescence be avoided? How can cost recovery be managed?
Decision Crunch Time
Smart grid development is tracking the familiar S-curve most technology evolutions follow: start slow, gather interest, accelerate the investment, increase the number of participants and innovation, and then flatten out when mature.
The foot of the curve consisted of several decades of pre-smart grid activities, such as utility communications architecture, smart substation projects, direct demand management and distributed generation studies. Then, in 2009, US$8 billion of combined federal and industry smart grid funding became available and launched the next stage of the S-curve, the risky phase of accelerating investment and commitment where the burden of leadership falls squarely on utility decision makers and regulators.
Do Not Lose This Opportunity
If utilities let up on the momentum now, paralyzed by which communications technologies to choose, smart grid could go the way of many past utility initiatives and end up as pilot studies and a set of binders or disks on cubical shelves.
Conversely, overly hasty decisions in choosing network solutions could result in stranded assets and unsupported technologies. These results could not only damage a utility's technical credibility, but the utility could face financial penalties, because ratepayers are less willing to support capital projects that do not have obvious and immediate consumer benefits. And regulators and city councils are listening. In the last year, the industry has seen pushback or even downright rejection of several smart grid-related metering deployments.
Utility decision makers are understandably uncomfortable with being rushed to make risky decisions — state and local regulation make it very difficult to correct any mistakes in judgment. Also, the industry is used to slow dancing to the beat of multi-year rate cases and technology decision cycles. Now, it must seem to utilities they are being pushed onto the dance floor of a technology sock hop.
Utility-Telecom Partnerships
Smart grid deployments offer new, potentially lucrative utility markets to the telecom industry. It is a good time for telecommunications companies to form tight relationships with an industry on the ascent with strong government regulatory and financial support.
Most utilities need some use of public networks for smart grid deployment — at least for data backhaul.
Some telecommunications companies may even choose to lease the majority of required smart grid communications services. More importantly, utilities benefit from a partnership with telecoms by being plugged into the latest technology and business developments, resulting from the "refiner's fire" of competitive pressure within the telecom industry.
True, there is a culture mismatch between utilities and the overall telecom industry, particularly in the speed of decision-making and technology cycles. We have seen recent dustups between the two industries. Several major telecom providers have been outspoken about utilities not being capable of running a private smart grid network, with one even publicly stating that those who create proprietary networks are "the scourge of the industry!" In response, utilities have pointed out that private utility networks were the only means of communication in much of the area hit by Hurricane Katrina. The public networks were knocked out.
Regardless of public sparring, more utility-telecom partnerships are expected, so the two industries will just have to play nicely. This is where the many smaller utility-oriented telecoms can play the role of mediator between the two industries.
The Payoff
Choosing the right smart grid communications platform presents plenty of challenges for an industry that traditionally resists change. But if the utility industry does this right, utilities can construct an energy delivery and management system the industry only dreamed of 20 years ago.

Press Release
October 13, 2009
Janet Bass
Statement by Randi Weingarten,
President, American Federation of Teachers,
On Senate Finance Committee's Healthcare Reform Bill
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Senate Finance Committee's healthcare reform bill was developed with good intentions, but it has serious defects that could jeopardize insurance affordability for both the insured and the uninsured. The only way to truly reform our healthcare system and strengthen our economy is to make health insurance affordable so it is accessible. The Finance Committee's failure to include a robust national public plan to provide competition to private insurers makes achieving this goal difficult, if not impossible.
The subsidies available in the bill's health insurance exchanges for the uninsured are inadequate, making the cost of health insurance out of reach for many families and individuals. But affordability doesn't just affect the uninsured. It also affects the more than 160 million workers and their families, who through negotiations or otherwise, have employer-provided coverage. Over $1,000 from the premium of each family plan—paid by employers and employees—actually subsidizes the cost of the uninsured. The Finance Committee's bill's health insurance tax increases will add to these costs and become, in effect, a tax on the middle class.
The mark of true health care reform is that it is affordable, accessible and encourages—not discourages—good and continued coverage for the already insured. These goals cannot be achieved without a public option, nor can they be achieved by increasing the tax burden on middle-class workers with employer-provided coverage.
The AFT will continue to fight for true healthcare reform, and we urge members of Congress to vote only for a bill that provides it.
# # # #
The AFT represents more than 1.4 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

So that's why the USPS was pushing that user survey with emphasis on "Participants need to pick up their mail every day including Saturday".* Timing suggests they had already made the decision and were simply going through the motions.
Oddly enough it is not many weeks since I observed in another forum that "whine" = "a complaint I do not sympathize with" in the same way that "regime" = "a government I do not like".
* I didn't participate. I collect my mail twice a week at best. Possibly because the mailbox isn't at my front door.

I really hope someone can help me with this problem. I want to use my xoxbox's midi out to play my xoxbox patterns on an external synth. It works but as well as playing the programmed notes it is making the external synths produce unwanted noise on the rests too. Kind of a very low rumble with a click too when it should be silent
I don't have a clue how to solve this. It is definitely something to do with the xoxbox coz it does the same with all my synths (juno 106, microkorg, minitaur).
pleeeease help me!!

I'm writing today's post in a bit of a hurry, as I have an early morning Ryanair flight to Prague to pack for!! Those who know me, are aware that I can actually take a lot with me on cheap flights, but I still have to decide what is and what isn't coming with me for my next 6 months on the road! (Czech Republic, then likely somewhere in South America again)
I haven't had the time to sit down and study any Czech this week because of work, but that just means that my 3 month learning period really will be almost entirely in Prague. Apart from the flick through the grammar book mentioned in my previous post, I haven't done anything! For most people, this may be a very poor start to someone planning to become fluent, but there is still plenty of time! In fact, language studies really will be part-time for me for the entire 3 months since I will be working full time, so I'm starting my study rhythm as I intend to continue
I bet some of you were thinking that I'd get fluent by studying all day every day for my whole visit? Not quite! You can achieve a lot, even in part-time studies, as I'll be showing you
These books may be geared towards tourists in a hurry to get through a city who have to "put up with" being forced to speak the language when outside of their main touristy zones… but I swear by them to start learning a language when your end-goal is fluency. Grammar should be taken in very small doses when you are starting up, and these books avoid grammar almost entirely! You can learn the essential phrases as one block each (not necessarily understanding individual words) and you will get your point across. Thanks to phonetics under the phrase, you don't even have to get your head around the new spelling and pronunciation system yet! The priority in learning a language should always be on communication and not on intensively studying each part of the language to perfection and then going on to the next one.
A phrasebook is also fun and practical to read! Here's why:
- You can get through it very quickly, and feel a great sense of achievement for the amount that you are able to say if you memorize it well enough
- It covers all the basic conversation categories you want to know when starting off and some even give slang and go more into depth for other situations (I find Lonely Planet's chatting-up pages in their phrasebooks especially funny)
- The dictionary at the back is very handy. It gathers the most frequent and useful 500 or so words; it is big enough to give you most of what you need in general situations, but small enough to actually study! While waiting for a bus, get through all of the letter A… when in the queue at the supermarket learn 3 new words etc. It's impossible (or at least crazy) to study an actual dictionary, but dictionaries at the back of phrasebooks have been my key to getting the most important vocabulary quickly.
- They are small enough to fit in your pocket. In the lift? Swoop it out, and learn one new word or phrase before the doors open and then back in your pocket it goes! All of these pieces of time add up quickly! See what I mean by part-time?
- When you have gone through it enough, you will definitely have at least a somewhat basic overview of what the language looks like, and this makes the more serious studies ahead a lot easier. You'll see words and phrases you recognize from the phrasebook when studying the grammar book, and this familiarity really makes a big difference in making it more interesting. I'm not suggesting that a phrasebook replaces standard study; there is only so far you can go with these tiny pocket books! But for starting off, they really are excellent!
You can get them for many languages, and from several companies; Lonely Planet do them (note: I don't mean the phrases at the back of the city/country guidebook), The Rough Guide, Berlitz and several others. Usually I prefer Lonely Planet because of their wide range of topics covered by the phrases, but all of them have their own benefits. And best of all? They are CHEAP!! The brand new Czech phrasebook you see in the photo only costed me €6. You can get them in most big bookshops, on amazon and of course at the airport. I wish these companies were paying me commission to advertise them so passionately today

Spiderman Busts Would-Be Comic Thief
In a case of life imitating art (in this case, comic book art), a man dressed as Spiderman stopped a would-be thief from stealing a $160 comic on Free Comic Book Day this last Sunday. He was aided in his crime-fighting by two Jedi knights and The Flash. Not even kidding.
Adelaide Comic Centre's Michael Baulderstone, 45, noticed a man "behaving suspiciously" at the back of his store.
Upon closer examination, he saw that the man had put a valuable book in his backpack."We had about 40 people dressed up as their favourite superheroes to celebrate International Free Comic Day, so he didn't have much of a choice but to hand the X-Men Omnibus back after a little bit of a scuffle," he said.
"I've had a look at the security footage and it shows Spider-Man running down the corridor of the shop, grabbing this guy, hauling him off.
"One of the funniest things about the incident was that I called for people to stand near the door and it just so happened we had people dressed as Jedi knights there blocking the exit, the Flash was there at some point too," Mr Baulderstone said.
Haha, that IS funny, Mr. Baulderstone. Granted not as funny as if you'd stripped the thief naked and set his genitals on fire BUT WE CAN'T ALL BE COMEDIANS.
The best arrest ever, starring Spider-man, Jedi and the Flash [couriermail]
Thanks to Markus, Nicholas, aliya, Sean, PK, Bertoni and Grace, who once stopped a bank robbery while all dressed as X-Men characters on Halloween. And to Elizabeth, who actually works at the comic shop and hopefully managed to get a couple neck-stomps in on the culprit.

Clayton News Daily
Henry County senior and Alabama football signee Dalvin Tomlinson will require surgery after sustaining a significant knee injury while playing on the high school soccer team.
Tomlinson confirmed the news to the Clayton News Daily and Henry Daily Herald by phone Monday evening. He said he expects to make a full recovery by the start of the college football season.
"I'll be over it by the time the season comes around," Tomlinson said. "It was pretty shocking."
The top football recruit from the Southern Crescent last season, the 6-foot-3, 270-pound defensive lineman was a surprise last-minute grab for Alabama on National Signing Day. Tomlinson chose Alabama over Georgia and Georgia Tech. Rivals.com rated him a four-star recruit and the No. 11-ranked prospect in Georgia.
Tomlinson also won three wrestling state titles at heavyweight, a first in state history.

Sadly, her testimony doesn´t matter. Obama, Clinton, Rice and their ilk hid a security failure by using a massive lie, the media with few exceptions joined in the lie, and he was reelected.

Hillary has done what Hillary always does: manages to be dead last (if ever) so she can navigate/fine tune her answers. But I hope that Congress does not forget that this long time a´comin is due not just to a fall and concussion but to a vitally important Australian wine tasting right after Benghazi! and other such events. I am prepared for the stonewalling, but HOPE Congress stands firm!!!!! None of this picking on the poor little woman nonsense!
