Lontra longicaudis (Olfers, 1818) |
Neotropical otter range |
The neotropical otter (or neotropical river otter), Lontra longicaudis, is an otter species found in Central America, South America and the island of Trinidad.[1]
The neotropical otter is very similar-looking to the northern and southern river otter, which sandwich this species' range. Overall length can range from 90–150 centimetres (35–59 in), of which about a third of the length is comprised by the tail. The body weight can range from 5–15 kilograms (11–33 lb).[2]
This otter is found in many different riverine habitats, including deciduous and evergreen forests, savannas, llanos and pantanal. This species likely prefers to live in clear, fast-flowing rivers and streams, and is probably rare in sluggish, silt-laden lowland rivers. It is a solitary animal and feeds on fish and crustaceans. It is an endangered species, according to CITES Appendix I.

I thought the price for a mug was high, but I wanted to make my mom happy. She wanted these mugs. They are a good product, attractive, sturdy, good volume. $14.95 each seems like alot for a mug, but prices elsewhere were equal or higher. And you had the largest color choice. All in all, a satisfactory transaction. And Mommy was happy.
I recommend this product. -
Emile Henry Mugs
The mugs seemed like they would last a long long time, so I ordered eight.
Two arrived with incomplete glazing, and some mugs were heavier than others: rather clunky. Soon after using them, one chipped on the rim - not from a major impact. Overall the mugs delivered less satisfaction than I expected.
If you are looking for well-made, durable, classic mugs, keep looking. -

What drinking water contamination tests should you order? This article explains the general classes of water contaminants covered in a water test for pesticides or pesticide contamination. Be sure to review the pesticide test alternatives with your water test consultant or lab. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Pesticides Contamination- water test parameters - how to check for pesticide contaminants in drinking waterWatch out: There are at least two different pesticide tests which check drinking water for the presence of chemicals used during two different eras of pesticides in common use in North America. So depending on the age of the property and when pesticides may have been applied, you want to be sure to order the correct pesticide screening test. This website describes the types of water testing available, outlines common water test fees, describes the details of what parameters are included in various water test options, and gives advice to assist you in deciding what tests to order. Readers should also see our longer article Water Quality Testing, and advice for home buyers and building owners: water contaminants, water test procedures, well shock procedures, preventing drinking water contamination, and Cheating on water tests in that document. Also see PESTICIDE EXPOSURE HAZARDS for a wider discussion of pesticide exposure hazards in buildings. The list of test parameters below is a typical selection for water supply when there is reason to suspect contamination by pesticides. Wells near golf courses, on farms, or at older homes which were treated or suspected of having been treated for insect pests are candidates for this procedure. Note: these water tests and water test laboratory fees will vary depending on lab chosen and subject to lab rate changes without notice. Be sure to review actual parameters with your home inspector or laboratory: parameters and costs vary.

System 1200
System 1200 Compact High Performance Home Theater System
Editor's Choice looks good and sounds amazing. C/Net Reviews
The ideal speaker system for smaller home theatersThe System 1200 utilizes sophisticated mid-woofers and soft dome tweeters that produce exciting, articulate, realistic sound, very much in the tradition of our award-winning $20,000 System 8200.

§Graphite Loaded Homopolymer*Height includes tilt base.Atlantic Technology reserves the right to change specifications or appearance at any time without notice.
1200LR Front Channel Speakers
The Model 1200 LR Front Channel Speaker is a high-performance 2-way system intended for use with a quality subwoofer, such as the Atlantic Technology Model 212 SB box-type subwoofer. Each speaker contains an advanced GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 4.5 (115mm) woofer and a specially designed 1 (25mm) ferrofluid-cooled, damped soft dome tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet structure. The speaker components are mounted in an acoustically inert MDF enclosure, with each speaker magnetically shielded so it can be placed close to a TV set without concern for stray magnetic fields distorting the picture.
These versatile speakers are equally suited for LR satellite, center or surround applications. For full features and specifications, be sure to download the PDF owners manual for the 1200 System found on the 1200 internal page under the Manuals heading.
1200C - Center Channel Speaker
The perfect center channel companion for the 1200 or 920 systems, this speaker employs a closely-grouped M-T-M driver array for optimum coverage of the listening area. In addition, as with all of our center channel speakers, the 1200C comes with a unique tilting base so the speaker is always precisely aimed at your ears. This aiming capability ensures high intelligibility of voices, dialogue, and on-screen effects.
To compensate, we've developed a boundary circuit that counteracts this problem. When activated, the boundary compensation switch will return the lower midrange-particularly male voices-to its natural, uncolored state.
The 1200C center channel shares the same design approach as our more expensive center channel speakers, but its smaller size and lower cost make it the best choice for smaller rooms.
212SB Subwoofer
The 212 SB features a 10" long-throw composite cone driver with a vented motor structure and 2" high temperature, 4-layer voice coil. This powerful driver has a very stiff cone that acts like a piston throughout its operating range. Its massive magnetic motor assembly and high temperature component parts deliver exceptional performance and reliability. By utilizing a sealed enclosure design, the 212 SB offers unusually low distortion, and delivers deep smooth bass response with a gradual and predictable roll-off below resonance. As with all Atlantic Technology subwoofers, we have paid close attention to balancing accurate musical bass reproduction with terrific special effects slam.

translucent golden orange with a short white head. Splotchy lacing.
Stinky hops. Brian says peaches and I can get down with that.
Bright citurs. Hops dominate malt. Clean finish. Very bitter on the tail end. Omnom.

Bomber enjoyed on 10/11/12.
A: Slightly hazy orange with a generous head that receded quickly. Spotty lacing.
S: Wow, tons of citrus aromas. Orange, grapefruit, tropical fruits. Hops are huge and remind me of ZD (yeah, I said it...most be the citra). Fresh.
T: Initially taste lots of grapefruit, orange, and some more herbal/resin hop flavors. Sweet. Malt isn't center stage, yet the beer is still not one dimensional. Finishes clean and smooth with a soft hop bitterness.
M: Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Refreshing.
O: Fremont kills it again. Really delicious, refreshing, and one of my favorite hoppy beers. I need to buy more before it's all gone.

From 22oz bomber to pint glass
A: Lightly hued copper-tan in appearance, clear, with a small sudsy head and small patches of lacing.
S: Fruity bouquet but more crisp than sweet. Distinct tones of apple juice and grapefruit rind bounce off a cracker-y backdrop. A bit a of vinous, grassy undertone lingers throughout
T: Fruit-forward again, but more complex and layered than the nose. Orange pith, apple and grapefruit rub up against caramelly malts and a bready complexion. Smooth and quaffable throughout, finishes quickly with an even balance of sharp and sweet.
M: Chewy and satisfying, oily slick. I can't think of an APA that works itself into the crevices of your palate as this one does.
This is easily the best tasting APA I've had, but that's probably because it tastes more like an IPA than a Pale. The only thing that's not IPA-like is the hops don't come across very bitter or piny. But that's a small distinction, this is pretty much an IPA. Still, a fine beverage, reminds me of RR's Row 2/HIll 56, flavorful and drinkable.

A: Poured a transparent light orange with a nice white cap presenting some bubbles, light lacing. Looks appealing. Pretty good head retnetion here.
S: Loads of fresh fruits here; everything from pineapple to grape fruit, orange peel but I really received a bit of pine and spruce tips
T: Big citrus upfront with some spruce and pine needles following. There is a light caramel presence. The finish is a little slick with a subtle hop bite, light, very light booze sting, refreshing citrus and fruits round it off
M: Light to medium bodied, well carbonated, citrus really sits on the palate creating an enjoyable mouthfeel
O: Mighty damn fine!

Another from the hated 22oz format. Would have loved to have been able to buy a sixer of cans of this beer, too bad Fremont doesn't can. Oh, wait....
Poured into 16oz nonic. Poured a lightly hazy copper-orange color with 3/4 of an inch of off-white head that had good retention and very good lacing.
The aroma was most certainly very hop forward. From the second than the cap was popped, big doses of citrus, pine and additional floral tones filled the room. There was also a bit of a weed scent, but no real malt profile(I know, I know, it's supposed to be a hop-bomb. I just prefer some grain for the flowers to cling to). On the tongue the story was pretty much the same, but I was happy with the presence of just enough grain to give all those hops a nice counter-point.
The body was, somewhat surprisingly, nicely full without being heavy or sticky. The beer had a nicely dry finish that almost left you thirsty for more. Drinkability was very good, if only I could have had 2 12oz containers, instead of being stuck with 22. I would have even had the option of opening a third one (and would have). Overall, a very, very good beer. A must try if you're a hop head. Worth setting up a trade for, and worth trading a whale. If only the format wasn't so terrible.

Stopped into Full Throttle Bottles just to pick this up on my way back from Seattle.
Poured into a standard pint glass from a bomber. Stunningly clear and bright. Gold in color with a brilliant white head.
Smell of tropical fruits, grapefruit tiny bit of dank exactly what I expect from a Citra and Simcoe beer. Smell is huge! No skill required at picking out the aromas.
Taste is exactly like the nose with a delicate balance of sweet malts.
Mouthfeel is just shy of crisp.
Overall, this is perfect. Not a single bad thing to say about this beer. Fremont has absolutely been nailing it lately and this shows their talent. To take fresh hops within 24 hours of being picked and turn out a beer this perfect takes skill.
Well done Fremont!

T: ahhh.... taste isn't quite up there the aroma but it's quite good. Starts off awesome - grapefruit, citrous, slight pine bitterness at the end. Very very clean and refreshing.

Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a clear orange amber with a thin fine white head and light lacing. Interesting aroma of stone fruits, citrus hops and sweet malt, intense apricot/peach fruit. Flavor is citrus hops and apricot melding into sweet malt with a citrus and pine hop finish. Very pleasant. Not that hop forward, but the hops assert themselves nicely in the finish. Medium bodied with good carbonation. A very nice and somewhat different IPA.

Big thanks go out to draheim for this wet hop masterpiece. Wanted to share it but no one is around, needs to go today, guess it's all mine.
It pours a finely clouded golden, topped by four fingers of thick lather. Bas relief mountains of lace cling to the glass gravity-defyingly. Ah, the beauty of unfiltered and hoppy ale.
Mmm, a perfume of neutral sweet carrying aromas of sweet grapefruit, orange peel, lemon zest, even hints of fresh flowers and bitter herbs. Wish I had perfume of this aroma, I would encourage my wife to wear it, though probably we would end up with a brood of children nine months apart in ages.
The taste doesn't disappoint. All the flavors of the aroma come alive on the palate, aided by a hint of yeasty tart, and a balance that is staggeringly fine. It ends with a light, very clean bitterness drying the sip. It isn't a piney bitter, nor a bitter herb flavor, just a pleasant sort of clingy, resiny...what? Bitter floral is the only way I can describe it. Wonderfully delicious beer, a masterpiece of fresh hops!
Very light in the mouth with medium carb. and clean finish that lasts and lasts. Viscous and full flavored, it somehow also is superbly easy drinking.
The finest wet hop I've had this year. Better than Wet and Founders Harvest, my current favorites. Wish I could drink this all year, or even get another bottle for that matter. Buy this if you see it you won't be disappointed.

22oz bottle poured into a pint glass. This is actually a Pale Ale not an IPA.
A: Nice pale orange color with a very slight haze. One finger, real rocky, off white head with awesome retention and very nice lacing.
S: Great citrus hop aroma. Grapefruit mainly but not the sour grapefruit smell. Apricots, mango, and some tangerine are also present. Love the smell of Citra hops. A very light caramel malt peeks through.
T: Caramel upfront. Then a blend of hops reminiscent of Zombie Dust. Resiny, citrus, earthy, pine, and finishing with nice floral notes. A touch of bitterness. Flavors just shining through.
M: Medium body. Medium high carbonation. Oily. Good dryness.
O: Another amazing beer from Fremont. Citra hops are amazing. Definitely need to get some Kern River Citra! I can only imagine what that is like.

On tap at Fremont Brewing in Seattle, WA. October 18th, 2011.
A: The beer pours a pale orange color with a very minimal haze. There is a one-finger head of off white foam that sticks around. The lacing is similar and does not dissipate.
S: This has a fantastic citrus hop aroma with hints of grapefruit, apricot nectar and mango. There is a hint of caramel malt, but the Citra hops in this beer are wonderfully fragrant and really dominate here.
T: The initial taste is one of caramel malt, but it quickly melds into a strong bitter hop note. Touches of pine, citrus, lemongrass are present.
M: The beer has a medium body with average carbonation. The mouth feel is dry yet oily.
O: Fremont knocked it out of the park with this one. They're not allowing growler fills of this at the brewery, so I'll need to track down some bombers.

Poured from a bottle into a standard pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a slightly cloudy amber with a golden hue. There is a finger of off white head and decent retention.
Smell: Some bready malt but the star here is the citrus peel hops. There are some fruity apricot like notes as well.
Taste: Bitter citrus peel hops hit the tongue pretty hard, but there is plenty of malt to back them up. The apricot notes from the smell are present. The finish is bitter.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with mild, tingly carbonation and a slightly dry finish.
Overall: I was very pleasantly surprised by this one. I hadn't heard of it before, but it was a great fresh hop IPA.

It's that time of year just a few hours from the bulk of U.S. hop farming. Get 'em while they're fresh.
Smells very folral and grassy with a nice punch of hop oil. And there's a caramel malt backbone too. As it warmed I got grapefruit citrus hops.
Gold colored and kind of hazy with a decent layer of white foam head.
First sip gives me lots of citrus hop flavor and high bitterness. More sips give me a nice sweet malt base with honey and cheerios and some fruity yeast things.
Medium bodied and a nice soft carbonation level (growler effect?)
It's a very nice balanced Pale ale at 6% it's not quite an IPA but a little bigger than your standard pale.

22oz bottle (bottled 10/6/2011) poured into a tulip. Pours a hazy glowing orange with a creamy white head.
Aroma is pure grapefruit. Wow. 120 pounds of fresh organic Citra & Simcoe hops per batch, 24 hours from harvest to kettle.
Taste follows nose. Nothing but bright citrus hops and clean pale malt. Really nice crisp bitter finish. Absolutely drinkable, thirst-quenching, addictive. I could drink one of these every single day.
Once again, Fremont shows that it's a force to be reckoned with. Just outstanding.

I used to think Big Time brewing was the best Seattle brewery. Ever since Bill Jenkins left Big Time (former head brewer) I've been calling Fremont Brewing the best Seattle brewery (that's not a dis on Drew the new brewer at Big Time, I haven't had a chance to try much of his stuff yet). Anyway, with this beer, Fremont once again proves to me that they're worthy of such lofty acclaim.
When I see an IPA this color, golden with a splash of autumn orange, I usually know I'm in for a treat. The darker orange the IPA the sweeter it usually seems to be ... and I'm not a fan of sweet IPA's. This one settles into the glass with a dense looking off white head that doesn't stay around too long but does leave some pretty lacing behind.
One whiff and wow ... green hops invade the nostrils. There's a bit of caramel lurking in the background that really fills the aroma out nicely. The dominant note though is definitely fresh hops: Pine needles, orange wedges, and pineapple. Marvelous.
Oh hello citrusy orange and caramel, nice to meet you here! I think I'll take another sip and meet you all over again. Wait, is that our friend Pine Tree over there in the corner with Bitterness? Yes, why tell them to get over here. I like Bitterness, and this particular guest seems to linger a long time.
Really, this tastes great and is absolutely one of the best examples of a fresh hop IPA I've had. This is a beer that makes me wish it was hop season all year around.

1. Modeling with the Sine Function | Section 2 Exercises | 3. Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions | Trigonometric Functions Main Page | "Real World" Page |
The two basic trigonometric functions are: sine (which we have already studied), and cosine. By taking ratios and reciprocals of these functions, we obtain four other functions, called tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent.
Let us go back to the bicycle introduced in the preceding section, and recall that the sine of t, sin t, was defined as the y-coordinate of a marker on the wheel. The cosine of t, denoted by cos t, is defined in almost the same way, except that this time, we use the x-coordinates of the marker on the wheel. (See the figure.)
First notice that the coordinates of the point P in the above diagram are (cos t, sin t), and that the distance from P to the origin is 1 unit. From the distance formula in Chapter 8 of Calculus Applied to the Real World or Chapter 15 of Finite Mathematics and Calculus Applied to the Real Worldwe have:
We often write this as
ant so we have found a relationship between the sine and cosine function.
Fundamental Trigonometric Identity
Let us now turn attention to the graph of the cosine function. The graph, as you might expect, is almost identical to that of the sine function, except for a "phase shift" (see the figure).
This gives the following new pair of identities.
Further Relationships Between Sine and Cosine
The cosine curve is obtained from the sine curve by shifting it to the left a distance of /2. Conversely, we can obtain the sine curve from the cosine curve by shifting it /2 units to the right.
sin t = cos(t /2) Alternative formulation We can also obtain the cosine curve by first inverting the sine curve vertically (replace t by t) and then shifting to the right a distance of /2. This gives us two alternative formulas (which are easier to remember)
sin t = cos(/2 t) |
Since we can model the cosine function with a sine function, who needs the cosine function anyway?
Technically, that is correct; we don't need the cosine function and we can get by with the sine function by itself. On the other hand, it is convenient to have the cosine function around, since it starts at its highest point, rather than zero.
Modeling with the Cosine Function (General Cosine Curve)
Note that the basepoint is at the higher point of the curve. All the constants have the same meaning as for the general sine curve:
C is the vertical offset (height of the baseline) P is the period or wavelength (the length of each cycle) is the angular frequency, given by = 2/P is the phase shift (the horizontal offset of the basepoint; where the curve reaches its maximum) |
The annual cash flow into stock funds (measured as a percentage of total assets) has fluctuated in cycles of approximately 40 years since 1955, when it was at a high point. The highs were roughly +15% of total assets, while lows were roughly 10% of total assets.*
(a) Model this cash flow with a cosine function of the time t in years with t = 0 representing 1955.
(b) Convert the answer in part (a) to a sine function model.
* Source: Investment Company Institute/The New York Times, February 2, 1997. p. F8.
(a) Cosine modeling is similar to sine modeling: We are seeking a function of the formAmplitude A and Vertical Offset C:
Since the cash flow fluctuates between 10% and +15%, we see that A = 12.5, and C = 2.5.
Period P:
This is given as P = 40.
Angular Frequency :
This is given by the formula
Phase Shift :
The basepoint is at the high point of the curve, and we are told that cash flow was at its high at t = 0. Therefore, the basepoint occurs at t = 0, and so = 0.
Putting this together gives
where t is time in years.
(b) To convert between a sine and cosine model, we can use the relations given above. Here, let us use the formula
P(t) = 12.5cos(0.157t) + 2.5
= 12.5sin(0.157t + /2) + 2.5.
The Other Trigonometric Functions
As we said above, we can take ratios and reciprocals of sine and cosine to obtain four new functions. Here they are.
Tangent, Cotangent, Secant, and Cosecant
Use technology to graph the curve y = sec x for 2 x 2
we can enter this function as
Y1 = 1/cos(x).
To set the window, let us use 2 x 2, and 7 y 7. Here is the graph we obtain.
What are the vertical lines doing here?
Since we defined the secant function as sec x = 1/cos x, we know that it is not defined when the denominator is zero. That is, when
cos x = 0.
Consulting the graph of cos x, we find that this occurs when x = �/2, �3/2, �5/2,...
Therefore, these values are not in the domain of the secant function. Further, as x approaches these values, sec x becomes very large numerically, but changes sign when we cross these values, causing the graphing calculator to make sudden jumps from large negative values of y to large positive values. Thus, the vertical lines are asymptotes.
If you have studied the section on limits in Chapter 3 of Calculus Applied to the Real World, or Chapter 10 of Finite Mathematics and Calculus Applied to the Real World, you will recognize this phenomenon in terms of limits; For instance,
x/2 | sec x = |
x/2+ | sec x = |
Before we go on...
Here are the graphs of all four of these functions. You might try to reproduce them and think about the asymptotes
tan x = sin x/cos x
cotan x = cos x/sin x
sec x = 1/cos x
cosec x = 1/sin x
The Trig Functions as Ratios in a Right Triangle
Let us go back to the figure that defines the sine and cosine, but this time, let us think of these two quantities as lengths of sides of a right triangle:
We are also thinking of the quantity t as a measure of the angle shown rather than the length of an arc. Looking at the figure, we find that
sin t = length of side opposite the angle t = | 1 | = | hypotenuse |
cos t = length of side adjacent to the angle t = | 1 | = | hypotenuse |
tan t = | cos t | = | adjacent |
This gives us the following six formulas
The Trigonometric Functions as Ratios in a Right Triangle
sin t = y-coordinate of point P |
cos t = x-coordinate of point P |

Hoover (28-3) answered those two runs just as quickly in their half of the first, as Bird doubled, Ryan Shamblin singled him in and Bowen doubled Shamblin home. The Huskies took a 3-2 lead in the second, in one of the oddest methods possible.
After White singled and stole second, Sean Craze and Shaun Dotson struck out. But Dotson's third-strike pitch went to the backstop, and the catcher's throw to first was wide and got loose. White took advantage, rounding third and scoring.
The 3-2 score remained until the fifth, when Bird drew the only walk for either team, stole second and scored on a Shamblin single. In the sixth, Hoover nearly went from leading 4-2 to invoking the 10-run mercy rule.
Craze, Scooter Farmer and Fields had the RBIs in the six-run inning, with the other three runs coming on errors and a wild pitch. The Indians committed four errors in the frame, two on the same grounder.
Though that sixth inning rendered the issue moot, Sissonville coach Kenny Harper pointed to his team's lack of hitting - the Indians failed to get a runner past second in the final six innings.
Then again, Fields had a hand, er, arm in it.
"You've got to get him early, because the longer he goes, the stronger he gets," Harper said. "That's probably the second-best game I've seen him throw. The last time they played us, he probably threw his best game I've seen."

Transferable skills are those attributes that ALL graduates from the University of Newcastle possess
You probably don't even realise all the brilliant skills you've developed in your time at the University! Skills that ALL employers are looking for. You have become adept at:
- teamwork - whether it be from group work tasks in your course, from events or sports you've enjoyed, or just from attending tutorials and speaking up, you've discovered ways to work well in a team situation
- assessing the scope of a project - even through interpreting the (somewhat sketchy) parameters of an assessment task you've had assigned, and then nailing it
- problem-solving - either in the problem-based work you have done, or even in finding ways to establish what's expected of you when it's not been immediately clear
- writing - that essay, report, email or application for an extension have all provided practice in areas of writing you may not have otherwise encountered
- feeling confident about tackling unfamiliar problems - well, remember back to your first undergraduate year? Did you know what was what, or where it was? Of course not, and you'd never been in a university before. But, look at you now - easy-peasy
- planning - of your own work, your schedule, how to get your assignments/study/research done and still schedule some fun with your friends/kids/dog/ partner in your few hours 'off' each week. It's a skill, and you've got it!
- receiving feedback - it's not always fun to get 'feedback' but constructive criticism is useful to your development, and learning to take it on the chin and learn from it is a skill that you will have practised in your time at UoN
- valuing perspectives other than my own - this is a generic skill in life, and one that the University is proud to be able to aid in conferring on you; it comprises tolerance, understanding, discernment and respect

El Centro nurse practitioner Arlyn Duval could not be with her grandson Monday to celebrate his fifth birthday. She is in New York, assisting with relief efforts after Tropical Storm Sandy slammed into the East Coast a little more than a week ago.
Duval is part of a disaster medical assistance team based in San Diego. Duval said the team is attached to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Her team consists of six doctors, at least four nurse practitioners and one midwife, she said. Nassau Community College in New York has been turned into a makeshift shelter, where Duval and her team are tending to the needs of more than 80 people who are unable to care for themselves, people who did not have the means to evacuate before the storm hit. Some have mental disabilities. Some are aged. Some have physical disabilities. Many have been homeless for years.
"We're taking care of a chronic population," Duval said.
Some have relatively simple needs, like medication to control diabetes or hypertension. Others in the shelter are suffering from issues that make treatment more challenging, like schizophrenia or substance-abuse withdrawals, and some of them are angry.
"After three days of no access to alcohol or marijuana … things are not comfortable for them. These are the people who do not have the money or connections to leave," she said. "There are many reasons to be angry."
Although she is not necessarily afraid of the people she is treating, she and others on her team are pairing up whenever they check on their patients, she said.
"We brought our own medical supplies," Duval said. "The Department (of Health and Human Services) brought a cache of drugs. We have pharmacists with us. We write prescriptions and the pharmacy fills them."
The scale of destruction that Tropical Storm Sandy left in its wake is not new to Duval. She assisted with the relief effort in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina tore through the city, leaving large swathes of the area devastated.
She said that New York was better-prepared for the storm than New Orleans was.
"With Katrina, the area could not be evacuated until things got bad," she said. "Here, hospitals evacuated before things got bad."
Better preparation does not mean that life is easy by any stretch. Duval said lines for gasoline stretch for blocks, and it is being rationed.
"You only get $20 worth of gas, and it's about $3.50 (per gallon), give or take," she said.
Inconveniences aside, the emotional and mental toll wrought by Tropical Storm Sandy is very real, and locals are trying to cope.
"PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) really does exist," she said. "Those that had pets don't have their pets (anymore)," she said. "You talk to one person, and he's fine. The next one has lost everything."
Although Duval and her team are doing all they can to help ease a bad situation, Mother Nature is not finished with New York.
"They're expecting a snow storm (today) or Wednesday," Duval said.

New Product
Modern Machine Shop
The ABS 320C is a fully automated band saw with a twin-column guide system. The automatic feed system uses a powered pinch roller system with ¾-hp hydraulic motor for automated, rapid material advancement. Designed with a limit switch to cut lengths accurately, this machine is also equipped with a programmable part counter for exact productivity and reduced material waste as well as an automatic height adjustment to limit space between the blade and the material so no time is wasted "cutting air," the company says.
The saw frame feed has an infinitely variable cutting speed from 65 to 330 ft/min. and a main motor drive rating of 5 hp. There is also rigid, dual-column guide for parallel cuts, a torque-resistant weldment and a cutting capacity of 13.75" × 12.5".
The band saw uses helical gears and a hydraulic cylinder. These gears are said to ensure quality service, a long tool life and low overall maintenance, while large cylinder dimensions ensure continuous, consistent and quiet operation. Plus, the machine incorporates an automatic shut-down when the blade breaks.
Standard equipment includes a coolant system with three nozzles, a saw blade cleaner brush, a 48" feed roller table with linear stop and an operator's manual.

Whenever I read The Runaway Bunny to my kids I hear Liam Neeson's voice in my head: "I don't know why you're running away. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for junk food I can tell you I don't have any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career as a Mama Bunny. Skills that make me a nightmare for runaway bunnies like you. If you come home now, that'll be the end of it and I will give you a carrot. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will hug you."
Book Riot recently ran another reader poll about what books people pretend to have read and asked me to help with some of the accompanying graphics, knowing that I can't resist the chance to make a venn diagram.
Click here for the full post.
Some links:
If you don't think picture books can be considered literary fiction, that Harold and the Purple Crayon is strictly child's play, then a few minutes with Mac Barnett may change your mind. The author (whose works include Chloe and the Lion and Extra Yarn) speaks passionately about his craft and has strong opinions about the power and potential of children's literature. After hearing him at a recent picture book panel in DC (where he held court on everything from metafiction to skeomorphism), I decided to track him down for a few questions.
With Gatsby finally about to hit theaters, I couldn't resist putting together another mash-up. CLICK HERE for the full post at Book Riot.
Great list here from all the BookRiot contributors. My choice for the month was:
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
There's a great passage early on in Giovanni's Room that's incidental to the plot, but provides key insight into the main character, David. He's describing a car crash in which he was the drunk driver, but he tells his story completely in the passive voice: "something weird happened to all my reactions", "the car sprang suddenly out of my control", and finally "a telephone pole, foam white, came crying at me out of the pitch darkness". Through this narrative alchemy, David manages to separate himself from the responsibility for his actions. He didn't so much cause the accident as the accident happened to him. As the story unfolds, you see David repeatedly rely on this self-preservation tactic. He may feign self-loathing as he wreaks havoc on the lives of those around him, but whether he is steering friends into a tree or driving his lover toward tragedy, in his mind David is never truly at fault—he is merely the victim of circumstance.
My request to the universe: Louis CK reading Catcher in the Rye. Please? Somebody?

This is awesome and somewhat totally mindblowing. Via Brain Pickings:
"Sylvia Plath — celebrated poet, little-known artist, lover of the world, repressed "addict of experience", steamy romancer … and children's book author? Given my soft spot for lesser-known vintage children's books by famous literary icons, I was delighted to discover The It-Doesn't-Matter Suit (public library) — a charming children's story Plath penned shortly before having her first child. Though her journals indicate it was written on or immediately before September 26, 1959, it wasn't until March of 1996 that the tale saw light of day with its first — and only — publication, featuring wonderful illustrations by German graphic designer and artist Rotraut Susanne Berner."
Through the magic of Instagram, the average person with a cellphone camera can take a normal picture and add depth, grit, and even a sense of made-to-order nostalgia. Now imagine an app that would let you apply this same capability to literature. Something that would allow you to–with just a few swipes on your smartphone–take a pedestrian piece of prose and instantly transform it into something more memorable.
For example, let's take "The Hunger Games." Its popularity is unquestioned, but it was not particularly renowned for the complexity or beauty of its language. What if we could take a passage from this book and apply some preset filters to approximate a more classic style?
Book Riot asked contributors to choose the best book we read this month. My choice was A. M. Homes' "The Safety of Objects", but you should go check out the full post--lots of good stuff there.

It's that time of year again when I find myself brooding over the smoking wreckage that is my NCAA tournament bracket, wondering where it all went wrong.
And inevitably, there's someone out there who filled out their bracket based on some random criteria (uniform color, mascot fierceness, campus with the best food courts french fries), and I can only watch in horror as they dance their way to victory.
So as we head into the Final Four, I'm taking this time to reevaluate the field based on an equally random factor: the literary connections of the remaining schools.
Maybe this will provide clarity in the face of the madness — and perhaps next time I'll head to the library instead of the sports page before making my picks. I definitely can't fare any worse than I did this year.[Click here for full text]

"Writing is a safari, dammit," exclaimed the teacher. "It means going out there and spotting, nabbing, and bringing home to the cage of the page the most marvelous living stuff of the world."
Timothy Robinson sat right in front of the teacher. He was doodling scenes from Conan in the margins of his notebook.
"But those cages are small and expensive," the teacher continued, searched, groped, not knowing quite what she was talking about.
Conan's pectorals were like concrete slabs and in Timothy Robinson's margins Conan's biceps and triceps had begun to make his arms look like large croissants. Now he suddenly was getting sunglasses. Now striped thighs.
"Don't bring back any dim-witted mooses," she said. "Don't put a superfluous dumb cluck of a line in your poem." She had used her lifeboat simile in the last class: A line is like a lifeboat--only a limited number of words get to go in it and you have to decide which word-lives are most valuable; the rest die.
It was ridiculous, but the only thing she could think of to say.
When no one said anything in response, she stared out into the center of the room and said, "So, Tim. How the f--k is Conan?"
"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."
J. D. Salinger, Catcher in the Rye
Two of the year's most highly anticipated events are the The Great Gatsby movie and the return of Arrested Development. To fill the void until their release dates, let's see what happens when the Great American Novel meets the Great American Family.

Seattle Sounders FC convened on the grass field at Starfire for one final session before catching a flight to Phoenix and making the short drive to Casa Grande to begin its first phase of training away from the city.
A mix of drills, games and fitness work on day seven of training camp as the Seattle Sounders had their last full day in the "Seattle sunshine" prior to their week in Casa Grande, Arizona.
During two-a-days, the season feels so close and yet so far off. Players battle soreness, mental fatigue and the uncertainty incumbent in a fresh start. They may wonder just why they do this — until something rekindles that love for the game.
Seattle Sounders FC training moved to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center for fitness testing — the beep test — on Friday.
Day three saw the team play 11 v 11 for the first time in 2013. Andy Rose talks about his offseason and status as a veteran.
With the Seattle Sounders FC goalkeeper contingent slimmed down to three players, Josh Ford is set to have a more magnified role than last season. Recovered from injury, the UConn graduate started preseason training Monday with the rest of his team.
On a cold and foggy day the Seattle Sounders return to Starfire to train for their 2013 season. It was a day of games, trialists and chill. Patrick Ianni is excited to chase four trophies in 2013.
Community and injury highlight Cascadia Summit's final day.
I expect the first half to be a game between mainly first teams for both sides, while the second half is likely to be guys on the bubble. Roster and Salary compliance day is March 1st so for...
Why don't clubs in MLS name all trialists?

Utility Billing
Understanding Your Bill
Understanding Your Bill
The City of Allen began using its current utility bill format in July of 2008. The format is designed to make it easier to understand and help track your water usage over a 12-month period.
More information
about the format is provided by the City.
Billing Cycles
The City is divided into four billing cycles, which are on a monthly billing period. Each billing cycle has its own dates for reading meters and billing accounts, and a clearly established due date for the bill.
The water charge is based on actual usage per unit (unit = 1,000 gallons). In order to encourage conservation, the per unit charge (unit = 1,000 gallons) increases at higher volumes of usage.
The sewer charge is a per-unit charge based on the meter size and the amount of water used during the billing period. Sewer charges on residential accounts are billed based on your water consumption.
Waste Services (Trash/Recycling Collection)
All residential trash and recycling services are provided weekly by Community Waste Disposal (CWD) and are billed through the utility bill. Your service is activated through the utility billing division when you establish your water service. Allen residents are required to use City-provided trash and recycling services. Refer to the Trash & Recycling section of the website for more detailed information on trash and recycling services.
Household Hazardous Waste Fee
The City of Allen provides household hazardous waste collection service for household chemicals generated by Allen residents. City staff collects small HHW items that are taken directly to the City of Plano's HHW Reuse Center. In return, the items suitable for reuse are available free to Allen residents at the Plano Reuse Center.
Drainage Fees
It is necessary to maintain and repair existing storm drainage systems and minimize natural stream erosion. This charge is billed to the customer through monthly water bills and is a flat rate of $2.75 for the residential drainage fee. Non-residential drainage fees are calculated based on total acreage as it relates to impervious coverage.
Explanation of Your Statement
Account Number — identifies your metered account number
Bill Date — shows the date the bill was sent
Cycle — identifies which of the four billing cycles you are on
Due Date — payment is due prior to 5 pm on the date shown, which is 20 days after bill date
Pay and After — this section shows the amount due if payment is received after the due date defined
Service Period — identifies the period of water use and total number of days in this cycle for which you are being billed
Total Current Charges — shows charges for current billing cycle, past due amount and total due and the date due
Usage — Shows the total gallons of water used this cycle. The number represents hundreds of gallons. So, the usage of 22 is 2,200 gallons. The second number shows the previous year's usage for the same month
Summary of Charges — shows the service, consumption and charge for each item being billed
Other Information
Drainage is the flat rate for drainage maintenance
Hazardous Waste fee is for the HHW program
Sales tax is charged on the Waste Service only
Waste Services is trash and recycling collection
Water & Sewer charges are based on overall water consumption

Not a bad sporty 125 that does everything you could want a 125 to do with litte hassle. Cheap price means these are a very tempting choice over more expensive, but better Japanese machines like the Honda CBR125. f you're not bothered about the name on the tank, the Lexmoto is a good choice.

The Taiwanese-built WK 125R is an entry-level 125cc motorcycle for British riders on a budget. Imported by the same team behind Quadzilla Quads, it's a cheap, cheerful and functional alternative to more expensive European or Japanese learner machines. It's a little basic, quite heavily outmoded and unlikely to last a lifetime, but it's also fairly cool, fun to ride and ...

Sadly, the two-stroke 125 is all but dead. The recent advent of credible, easy to ride and cheap to run four-strokes is killing sales of fickle, expensive smokers. Derbi's learner sportsbike gets an all-new design with a four-stroke engine for the first time, going head-to-head with Yamaha's YZF-R125.

The Street Glide tries hard to bridge the gap between full-on tourer and custom street bike. The bike is based on Harley's spine frame touring chassis but is 'slammed' for a low mean look.

One of the laziest new bike developments for 2010, the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F is simply a standard Diversion with a full fairing and ABS. It's a similarly easy to ride all-rounder that's practical as a day-to-day bike, but it's a bit more stylish than the half-faired bike.

Strictly speaking, the BROS 400 is heavy, underpowered and outdated. But the cheap grey imports are surprisingly nice to ride – they're well balanced, steer well and the engine is flexible, torquey and characterful given its 33bhp output. That also makes it legal for new riders on a restricted licence.
