The winners for 2004 are: Murphy Lighting Systems; Parlights; Vincent Lighting Systems.
The Dealers' Choice Product Awards recognize outstanding entertainment technology products in three categories: Expendable, Widget and Equipment. These Awards acknowledge the fact that dealers have an enormous impact on the success of a new product, as well as a unique perspective on its merits. The winners for 2004 are:
Expendable Category - EZ Kleen Preventative Maintenance Fluid from Le Maitre Special Effects
EZ Kleen is used as a preventative maintenance measure to ensure longer heat exchanger life. It is easy to use and should be used on a regular basis to prevent blockage of your heat exchanger that frequently happens to fog and haze machines.
Widget Category – Remote Addressing Device (RAD) from Doug Fleenor Designs
The Remote Addressing Device is used to set the DMX address of compatible products. A new enhancement to DMX512, called RDM (for Remote Device Management), allows users to receive status information and set parameters (such as the DMX address) of compliant products using the DMX link. Designed to draft version 2.0 of the RDM specification, RAD will be upgraded to comply with the released standard at no charge.
Equipment Category – SafeCam from Union Connector
A system of cam outlets that sense the insertion of plugs into the outlets. The system trips the disconnect (breaker) unless all plugs are in the outlets. Any exposed cam outlet is safe and "cold".
Votes by dealers and manufacturers are cast in each of three categories based on their number of employees, 1-6, 7-25, and over 25.

Few things are less funny than getting a concussion. That's an important qualifier for us to get out of the way. How you get a concussion, on the other hand, can at least be viewed as a subject of some curiosity. And Tobias Palmer of N.C. State will always be able to beat out any fellow football player with his story.
No, we've spent a lot of time thinking about it, and we still can't figure out how in the world you do this. But one thing is certain: N.C. State is now going to suspend full-contact warm-ups for a while.

If this is the PlayStation 4 controller, Sony hasn't learned a damned thing
Destructoid ran an image of what looked to be the prototype of the PlayStation 4 controller. You can see that image on the top of this story. Multiple sources have told multiple outlets that the image is real, although it's a picture of an early prototype controller, and may not represent the final product. This wouldn't be the first time Sony has dramatically changed the shape and ideas behind its upcoming controllers. Does anyone remember the boomerang that was shown off in 2005?
Still, if only half of the features shown in that prototype controller make it into production, we can expect some bad news for the system's first batch of games. That isn't a prototype controller, it's more evidence that Sony has a hard time learning lessons from its own past.
Drop motion controls
It's rarely talked about these days, but the original PlayStation 3 controller contained no rumble, but it did include basic motion controls. The first few waves of PlayStation 3 games included some tacked-on areas where you could tilt the controller to interact with the game, and the infamous Lair was partially sunk due to the terrible controls. IGN has created a detailed look at the PlayStation 4 prototype, and there is not one, but two possibilities for gimmicky controls included: That touchscreen and the Move-like light on the top of the controller.
So what can we expect from launch titles, based on this information? Gimmicky, tacked-on segments where you have to interact with the game via the touch screen, or by waving the controller around in front of the screen. The Vita includes both front and rear touchscreens, and they do little except drive the price of the unit up. At least the Vita's touchscreen allows you to interact directly with the objects in the game; the touchpad seen in this controller would force you to look at your television while rubbing the pad.
I'm trying to think of some way that action would add to a game, but I'm coming up blank.
Sony has a long history of throwing a bunch of technology at problems it doesn't understand. By packing everything into a controller, they're showing that they're suffering from the same lack of vision that caused the Vita to be such a costly challenge in the market. If you don't know if gamers want standard controls, touch controls, or motion controls, why not just jam all of them into a single Frankenstein controller? The problem is that a lack of vision from the console's manufacturer leads to muddled, unfocused games where all this technology is used in annoying ways.
Outside of the Nintendo Wii, motion controls have also been something of a dead end for gamers. There are few Kinect or PlayStation Move games that are must-haves, and the failures have been public and embarrassing. There's a reason that the Kinect has become little more than a glorified microphone, allowing you to yell commands at the screen in games like Dead Space 3 and Mass Effect 3.
Adding a Move-like sensor to every PlayStation 4 controller may mean that the controller is now in every house without an optional purchase, but that could be a bad thing. Now developers may be tempted, if not outright incentivized by Sony, to cram motion control sequences into its games.
First-party launch titles are usually used to show off everything a system can do, which is why you were rubbing everything you saw in the Vita Uncharted release, so everything that makes it into the controller will make it into the first run of Sony-published games. The ideas seen on this controller are things that gamers have tried, and mostly rejected. Touch controls may work on phones, but do we need them on consoles? Do we even want them?
This prototype is scary
It's possible that the prototype will undergo massive changes before launch, and developers will find great uses for it, but this early look is a little scary. Sony has often fallen into the trap of throwing technology at gamers and developers that they may not want or need, and this is the controller of a company who is flailing while trying to figure out the direction of the next generation of gaming. Instead of coming up with a solution, they simply shrugged and gave us an unwieldy, feature-laden mess.
We'll have to wait until an official announcement before we can say anything for sure, and Sony definitely has the time and resources to change course, but if this image is legit it's bad news for the company. By offering us everything, Sony seems to be saying they know nothing.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for writing! We asked one of the most stylish guys we know, Jon Patrick, VP of Product Development for custom clothier J.Hilburn, to weigh in on your question. He says you can never go wrong with the monochromatic look. "Rich shades of neutrals, blues, or greys are always strong, and easy to pull together," he said. "Upgrade to Italian fabrics — it matters — and make sure the fit and cut are spot-on and complement your body type and stature."
The best colors for you depend on your skin tone. He suggests choosing colors that complement your natural coloring and avoid ones that are harsh. Here are his general guidelines: Rosy complexions should avoid black or white, and fair complexions tend to get washed out by bold colors. "If your skin is tan, muted colors can look washed out," he says, "and if you're dark, avoid earth tones." Follow these rules and your confidence will show in your clothing and your attitude.
We hope this helps!

Anyone who seeks for a beautiful site for vacation is welcomed in Barcelona. The capital of Catalonia is a prosperous seaside city full of life. Its boundless energy is concentrated in industry, business, art and music. Barcelona is located on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain. Certainly it is the most cosmopolitan and economically best developed city in the country. And with its population of 3 million the city has a long reputation of one of the most modern European cities.
Barcelona is also a home to exceptional museums artists – Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Antoni Tapies. The phenomenal examples of Gothic architecture and art nouveau style (Gaudi) are scattered throughout the city bringing its glory as the advanced Design Capital in Spain.
One week stay is the opportunity to touch the soul of the city, but it is so rich and vast, that a month will go to penetrate its essence. It is such a magnificent place to visit and there are so many places of interest for the tourist to see, but the following 10 attractions of Barcelona are highly recommended to be seen if you have less than a week to spend there:
1. Sagrada Familia (translated as "Holy Family")
The church was designed by Antonio Gaudi. The Start of its construction was laid in 1882, but today the building is not finished. Its parts are in different architectural styles, dominated by the idea of Gaudi for items taken from the best, according to him, architect – Mother Nature. Stairs in the towers of the church are in the form of a stone giant snail. Some of the outer columns are carried by turtles. The columns of the temple resemble a forest of trees that branch into the roof and some of them reach 21 meters in height. Viewed from afar, the eight towers and the facade look like a sand castle, built by a child on the beach. Having in mind, that inside works are carried out, it is more interesting to view it from outside and the entrance fee is not worth. But if you decide, you may use the elevator to reach the top of the tower, from where the entire city can be overlooked.
2. The Port of Barcelona (Port Vell), The Aquarium
This is the favorite part of the town for many visitors. All coastal cities have a special charm, but Barcelona has a special place in my heart for its beautiful, long about 3 km promenade with palm trees. A brand new wooden pedestrian bridge connects the Rambla de Mar with the Maremàgnum, a complex with shops, cinemas, bars and restaurants. Behind the Marèmagnum are the IMAX theatre and the Barcelona's aquarium. Here is the Barceloneta district where you can eat delicious seafood. The port lands hundreds of yachts and ships from the height of technology to old refurbished galleries. Boat trip provides an interesting insight into the city from the sea. I think the spirit and the atmosphere of the city are felt best near the sea. In the area of Port Vell old and new, modern and classic, tourists and locals are mixed and you may really feel the pulse of Barcelona.
3. The Park Güell
Designed by Gaudí between 1900 and 1914, the Park embodies his idea of "garden city" where to escape from the industrial city and return to nature. Beautiful mosaics, the original anatomical benches and kiosks are like out of a fairy tale.
4. The Batiyo houses (Casa Batllo), La Pedrera (La Pedrera)
Both are works of Gaudi, commissioned by industrial barons and are located on the main shopping boulevards. The Batiyo House is known as "the house of bones" because of the facade of this amazingly strange and modernistic house. The facade of Casa Batiyo reminds of a story from the bottom of the ocean. The balconies on the first floor resemble a coral reef, the wall itself – the seabed, the terraces are like staring at the mouth of a whale. The Roof tiles resemble fish scales, and inside there are no right angles. The architecture of the buildings of Gaudi is like nothing else. The shapes are inspired by the study of nature – flora and fauna. Typical is the intensive use of ceramics.
5. The Camp Nou Stadium and Barcelona Football Club Museum
The largest stadium in Europe with a capacity of nearly 100,000 people is impressive, and the museum of the football club is just huge. The stadium is very steep, and all seats have a perfect view of the terrain. The museum brings together the Barça past in terms of photographs, audio-visual material, athletic items and all the trophies the club has won over the course of its history. In the basement is the team's souvenir shop. When FC Barcelona plays, the streets deserts. All people are at home or in coffee shops and restaurants where they watch the game.
6. The National Art Museum MNAC and magical fountains of Mont Zhuik (Montjuic)
The rich collection of the museum includes sculptures, paintings of El Greco, Velazquez, Rubens, engravings, photographs and so on. From the entrance of the museum, located on the hill Mont Zhuik, there are beautiful views of the city, and the evening show of the fountain in front of being quite impressive.
7. The Spanish Village (Poble Espanol)
A little village is introducing different types of authentic houses from all over Spain. This is one specially built mini-resort, in which each house represents a different region and craft from Spain. Each house has an architecture that is typical for different regions. Probably the best place to buy souvenirs and gifts.
8. The Zoo
The zoo is rich in animal species. It also has a restaurant, a shop, electric cars, picnic area, ponies and a mini-train. It is a place where you can spend a whole pleasant day.
9. The Picasso Museum – contains early works by Picasso when he lived in Barcelona.
Tip: Queues for tickets are huge and the wait – a long time.
10. The Street Ramblas (Las Ramblas)
Starting from Catalonia Square and ending at Port Vell, this is the most famous tourist street in the city and one of the first places where tourists come. It has a special flavor. It is filled with stalls with all sorts of trinkets, souvenirs, postcards, restaurants with tables on the street and many masked characters who entertain tourists and decorate their pictures for a few cents. It is lively until late at night and sometimes it is so crowded with tourists that the discrepancy is difficult.
In summary: Barcelona is the beauty of the coast, the unique masterpieces of Gaudi, the scent of jasmine, which is carried by almost every garden, near which you pass along. Barcelona leaves an incredible charm to anyone who visits it and a desire to return there again.

Warrington Wolves back rower Trent Waterhouse did an 'amazing amount of tackling' against Saints
6:20am Saturday 15th February 2014 in Wolves news By Mike Parsons, Sports Editor
TRENT Waterhouse has been praised after his display for Warrington Wolves against St Helens in Thursday night's Super League 19 opener.
Wolves' head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith was pleased with the contribution of his former Penrith Panthers and Australia Test back rower in the 38-8 loss.
"He was unbelievable," said Smith.
"He tried and tried and tried. He was awesome and did an amazing amount of tackling.
"I thought he was a real warhorse in some adversity and really put his hand up."
Smith also had good things to say about 22-year-old Warringtonian half back Gareth O'Brien, who was introduced off the bench in the 31st minute against a club he spent time on loan with last year.
"I thought Gareth was good when he came on," said Smith.
"He added some spark to us, certainly, and was one of our shining lights.
"We only had two or three good kicks in the game and he kicked each one."

Even without the presidential election, voters throughout the state have a lot of choices to make on the Nov. 6 ballot.
California voters will need to make up their minds on 11 statewide ballot propositions this week.
To help sort them all out, a group of Patch editors has created this Proposition Voter Guide, with links, briefs and local opinion about each proposition to help us all make informed decisions.
Nonpartisan Websites
California Choices- Includes an endorsements table featuring where non-profits, newspapers, unions and political parties stand on each proposition.
Maplight.org - Includes in-depth campaign spending information.
Proposition 30: Temporary Taxes to Fund State Programs
Voters will face two, some say conflicting, tax measures on this year's ballot. The first is supported by Governor Jerry Brown and is also known as the Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act. The measure is intended to help close the state's budget gap and fund schools.
The act would raise the personal income tax rate for people who make more than $250,000 a year. Individuals who make less than $250,000 a year and couples who make less than $500,000 a year will not see an increase. The ballot measure would also raise the state sales tax by a quarter cent for the next four years.
The money raised from the tax hike is expected to generate $6.6 billion for education. If voters reject it, a series of trigger cuts that will result in a nearly $5.4 billion hit to education will be enforced.

- California Republicans Oppose Proposed Tax Measures
Proposition 31: State Budget
This proposition would allow local governments and school districts create plans to coordinate how public services are provided. These plans include areas of public health and safety, education, social services, and economic development. Governing boards for the county, school district and city must approve the plans. The proposition would allow local governments flexibility on how state-funded programs are administered and how property taxes are transferred.
The proposition would also place restrictions on Legislature's ability to increase or decrease state revenue and when they can pass bills.

Proposition 32: Political Contributions
This measure seeks to reform campaign finance rules in three key ways. The first would ban employee paycheck reductions for "political purposes." The second would prevent corporations and unions from making direct contributions to state and local candidates or the committees that fund them.
The third would forbid government contractors to contribute to elected officials who were involved in the process that awarded them the contract. This would keep the contractors from contributing while that contract is under consideration or in effect.
Click here for more information on Proposition 32.
Proposition 33: Auto Insurance Rates
Prop. 33 would change state law to allow insurance companies to set prices based on whether the driver previously carried auto insurance with any insurance company. Drivers who have not had prior, continuous coverage could be charge higher rates, while those who have had coverage could receive discounts.

Proposition 34: Death Penalty Repeal
Prop. 34 would repeal the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. This would also affect individuals currently sentenced to death. According to the proposition, the measure would create a $100 million fund for law enforcement efforts.

Proposition 36: Three Strikes Law
This measure would change California's current "Three Strikes" law by imposing a life sentence only when the crime committed is a serious, violent crime. This could allow some offenders with two prior serious or violent felony convictions, and currently serving life sentences for nonserious, non-violent felony convictions, serve shorter prison terms. This would not affect felons with prior convictions of murder, rape, or the sexual abuse of children.

14 News is told there's no injuries and no damage, unlike the quake that hit the area back in 2008. It's business as usual for a Tuesday night.
But earlier Tuesday, Gary Wirth and his family were inside their home in Mt. Carmel when he says his entire family got a jolt. He says everything started shaking and they immediately knew it was an earthquake.
They were here for the April 2008 quake that was a 5.2. He says this was a very mild quake compared to that one, but it was still enough to get your attention.
"We were up in the kitchen here. We had the kitchen window open and we could hear the rumble of the earthquake going down the countryside just a rumbling. The kitchen cabinets were rattling. It wasn't anything real bad, but it made it very interesting," Wirth said.
Wirth says he thinks it lasted for about three seconds and says he didn't feel any aftershocks.
As soon as the quake hit, 14 News was flooded with calls and messages from viewers. We received reports from Mt. Carmel, Carmi, and Browns, Illinois. Reports were coming in from Owensville and Cynthiana, Indiana as well as the northern portions of Vanderburgh and Posey Counties.

Partners Will Host Speed Coaching Event in August
CINCINNATI, July 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Samuel Adams today named Ohio's Economic and Community Development Institute (ECDI) its official lending partner in Cincinnati for Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream, a micro-lending and coaching program for food, beverage, craft brewing and hospitality small businesses across the country. ECDI has been the program's lending partner in Columbus since 2012.
The expanded partnership with ECDI enables more small business owners in Cincinnati and throughout Ohio to access vital capital. The program has already provided nearly $100,000 in microloans to entrepreneurs throughout the state, and is now looking to expand that support through its collaboration with ECDI.
As part of the new partnership, Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream and ECDI will also co-host the program's signature Speed Coaching in Cincinnati on Monday, August 4th. Designed to provide expert, personalized business advice, Speed Coaching offers attendees the opportunity to participate in up to six 20-minute, high-impact coaching sessions with Samuel Adams and ECDI experts as well as local business professionals with expertise in areas such as sales and distribution, packaging, finance and marketing.
The Speed Coaching event will be held from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m. EDT at Findley Market, 1801 Race St, Cincinnati. Small business owners can register for this free event online at http://btadcincy.eventbrite.com. Participants are encouraged to bring samples of packaging, product and other items on which they seek feedback, and should also come prepared with questions regarding specific challenges their businesses are facing. For example, a small business owner may want to ask a finance professional for advice on how to competitively price his or her product.
"Small businesses are so important to our economy, but running a small business is not easy," said Jim Koch, Samuel Adams brewer and founder. "We look forward to helping more passionate entrepreneurs through our Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream program, and are excited and eager to help more Ohio small businesses in particular through our expanded partnership with ECDI."
Financing Options When Traditional Lenders Say 'No'Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream microloans typically range from $500-$25,000, and often help small businesses that traditional lenders won't work with given the small size of the loans. These microloans, however, can make a macro difference for up-and-coming businesses. One such example is Cincinnati's Colonel De Gourmet Herbs & Spices. Owners Susan and DeWayne Stewart turned to the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream program for funding assistance to purchase a grinder, which would allow them to buy wholesale spices. This lowered the Stewarts' cost of goods sold, and helped their Findlay Market shop expand to more than 900 square feet for showcasing 500+ culinary herb spices.
"It's unique programs like Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream that help Ohio's small business owners overcome the challenges they often face when dealing with traditional lenders," said Inna Kinney, ECDI Founder & CEO. "We're thrilled to expand our partnership with Samuel Adams from Columbus and Cleveland markets into the Cincinnati area to help even more small business owners succeed by accessing critical financing and coaching."
Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream Inspiration and ImpactThirty years ago, Jim Koch, armed with a generations-old family beer recipe, dreamed of starting his own craft brewery. He applied for bank loans to help him do so, but was repeatedly turned down. He also lacked the nuts-and-bolts know-how that's so important to running a small business. But Jim didn't give up. He took his beer bar to bar – selling it out of his briefcase – and made his dream a reality.
As Samuel Adams celebrates its 30-year anniversary, Jim hasn't forgotten how hard it is to start and run a successful small business. That's why he created Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream, a unique program that provides the two things he wishes he had when starting Sam Adams: financing and real-world business advice. Since its creation in 2008, the program, in partnership with Accion, the nation's leading nonprofit provider of small business capital and coaching, has coached more than 4,000 small business owners, provided over $3 million in microloans to more than 350 small businesses, and helped create or retain more than 2,000 jobs. The program has also seen an unprecedented loan repayment rate of 98.1 percent. To learn more about the program, please visit: http://btad.samueladams.com/.

About Samuel Adams and The Boston Beer CompanyThe Boston Beer Company began in 1984 with a generations-old family recipe that Founder and Brewer Jim Koch uncovered in his father's attic. Inspired and unafraid to challenge conventional thinking about beer, Jim brought the recipe to life in his kitchen. Pleased with the results of his work, Jim decided to sample his beer with bars in Boston in the hopes that drinkers would appreciate the complex, full-flavored beer he brewed fresh in America. That beer was aptly named Samuel Adams Boston Lager, in recognition of one of our nation's great founding fathers, a man of independent mind and spirit. Little did Jim know at the time, Samuel Adams Boston Lager soon became a catalyst of the American craft beer revolution.
Today, The Boston Beer Company brews more than 50 styles of beer. It relentlessly pursues the development of new styles and the perfection of classic beers by searching the world for the finest ingredients. Using the traditional four vessel brewing process, the Company often takes extra steps like dry-hopping, barrel-aging and a secondary fermentation known as krausening. The Company has also pioneered another revolution, the 'extreme beer' movement, where it seeks to challenge drinker's perceptions of what beer can be. The Boston Beer Company has been committed to elevating the image of American craft beer by entering festivals and competitions around the globe, and is one of the world's most awarded breweries at international beer competitions. As an independent company, brewing quality beer remains its single focus. Although Samuel Adams beer is America's largest-selling craft beer, it accounts for only one percent of the U.S. beer market. The Boston Beer Company will continue its independently-minded quest to brew great beer and to advocate for the growth of craft beer across America.

The Concord University women's basketball team cut a 26-point deficit to
just eight points before ultimately falling at Bluefield State, 89-69,
Saturday afternoon in a West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference contest.
The loss drops Concord's record to 3-9 overall and 2-4 in the WVIAC. The
victory improves Bluefield State's record to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in
league play.
Junior guard Amanda Smith scored 16 points on 6-for-14 shooting from the
field and a 4-for-6 effort from the foul line. Andrea Bertrand fought
through foul trouble to finish with 13 points, four rebounds and two
The backcourt duo of sophomore guard Stephanie Wagner (eight points) and
senior guard Katy Somerville (nine points) combined to score 17 points
with Wagner passing out eight assists and grabbing four rebounds.
Somerville also tallied five assists.
Sophomore forward Jacqueline Kestner registered game-bests of eight rebounds and four steals in addition to scoring six points.
As a team, Concord committed just 10 turnovers while forcing Bluefield
State into 18 giveaways. The Mountain Lions shot just 24.1 percent
(7-for-29) from the field in the first half, but shot 42.5 percent
(17-for-40) in the second half for a game total of 34.8 percent
(24-for-69). Bluefield State shot 46 percent (29-for-63) on the day.
Concord trailed by six points at 13-7 after the opening six minutes of
play before Bluefield State took off on a 26-18 run to extend its lead
to 39-25 with 4:41 remaining in the first half. The Lady Blues closed
the period out on a 12-4 spurt to take a seemingly commanding 51-29 lead
into the break.
Smith was Concord's top offensive threat in the first 20 minutes of
play, scoring 10 points. Bertrand tallied seven points in the opening
half, but picked up three fouls in the half. The guard duo of Somerville
and Wagner accounted for seven assists with four and three,
The Mountain Lions stormed out of the break and quickly cut the 22-point
lead down to just eight points at 60-52 thanks to a 23-9 run through
the opening 7:46 of the second period. The comeback was sparked by a
frantic defensive effort that forced four turnovers and an offensive
effort that saw Concord shoot 10-for-13 (76.9 percent) from the field to
begin the final half.
Concord proceeded to trade baskets with the Lady Blues and kept the game
close through much of the second half, finding itself down just 69-58
with 8:58 remaining in regulation. However, Concord was unable to dig
into Bluefield State's lead any further as BSC managed to pull away for
the 89-69 win after outscoring CU 20-11 for the remainder of the game.
Bluefield State was led by Charity Harris, who scored a season-high 25 points.
Concord will stay on the road to play at Ohio Valley 5:30 p.m. Monday night in Vienna, W. Va.

The surf industry was created by surfers, for surfers. New York surfers represent the core dedication that has made the sport what it is today. This event is as much in honor of that dedication to wave riding as it is to the stars who light the way. For many, cold water and big city living would be reason enough to turn their backs on the ocean. To be a life-long surfer in New York requires considerable sacrifice and unwavering commitment. It means braving the majority of the year for the incredible surf pay-off that typically comes during a brief window at the end of summer.
But the surfing culture is rich and deep on Long Island. The East Coast Surf Championships began on Long Island in 1962 and continues to this day as one of the longest-running surfing competitions in the world. Like California, Hawaii and Australia, New York can lay claim to hometown heroes, mom-andpop surf shops, and die-hard personalities who have supported and influenced generations to become a part of surf history.
Forecasters and analysts pored over charts and historic data before selecting the National Boulevard surf site on Long Island, New York. The September 4-15 time frame has historically offered the highest incidence of quality surf and hurricane-generated swell opportunities. Surfline.com, the world's leading forecaster of wave and surf conditions, conducted an independent long term 15-year wave study for western Long Island, New York, summarizing that September 4-15 is one of the most consistent time periods for sizable surf in the region. In addition, independent local feedback supports these findings, with September typically averaging 3+ hurricane swells, typically with at least one 3-4 day swell. Surfline.com is the official forecaster for The Quiksilver Pro New York, serving as a key reference point for contest officials in selecting surf contest days.
" This was a very fascinating study," said Sean Collins, Chief Forecaster and President of Surfline.com. "The surf climate in Western Long Island is greatly affected by the underwater Hudson Canyon offshore, which can turn average surf into very high quality surf comparable to many of the best surf spots in the world on the right day. We are also in a La Nina year, so we expect the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season to be a little more active and hopefully we can score great surf with the world's top surfers in one of the best cities in the world."

"Migrant children detained in Thailand are suffering needlessly in filthy, overcrowded cells without adequate nutrition, education or exercise space," says report author Alice Farmer, children's-rights researcher at the New York City–based advocacy group.

About Bishop Nick
Almost 300 years later in 1842 Thomas Dixon Ridley built his brewery on the banks of the River Chelmer. It was here that the Ridleys' great tradition of brewing was born. The brewery thrived and Ridley's beer was enjoyed at inns from Southend to Saffron Walden.
Over the next 163 years six generations of Ridleys honed their skills and perfected their palettes to bring the people of Essex the best local brews, until the brewery was sold in 2005.
Today, Nelion Ridley takes up the mantle once more, and with his craft brewery 'Bishop Nick', is devoted to keeping Essex ales sacred. You can find out more about them here.

San Francisco-based Esurance is offering in-car cellular blocking technology to policyholders interested in preventing their teen drivers from distracted driving.
The Cellcontrol device plugs into the on-board diagnostic port and pairs via Bluetooth with an app installed on a mobile device. When the car is in motion, the device transmits that information to the app, which then disables certain mobile device activity until the car is completely stopped.
[Inside PURE Insurance's Cellcontrol partnership]
Users can customize it to block whatever they would like, with texts, email, phone calls and apps switched off by default and hands-free calls enabled. Users can also enable certain apps, like music and navigation, if required, and whitelist certain numbers that won't be blocked from incoming or outgoing calls (as well as emergency numbers like 911).
The app is currently compatible with Windows Mobile, Android and Blackberry devices. iPhone compatibility is coming soon, Esurance says.

Landlords are told to get a valid licence
10:00pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News
Landlords have been warned that If they do not have a valid licence for their property, they could be prosecuted and fined thousands of pounds.
Houses in Multiple Occupation – if more than three separate tenants are living there – require a licence from their district council.
Cabinet member for health and housing at Vale of White Horse District Council, Roger Cox, said: "Unlicensed, unmaintained properties are hazardous.
"I would urge all landlords to be sure that they obtain the proper licence and keep both themselves and their tenants safe."
Oxford City Council have opened a consultation on proposed changes to the Houses in Multiple Occupation licensing fees and prosecution until 14 March. Go to consultation.oxford.gov.uk for more information.

I never thought I would lose money on this... :(
no restriction on call date after an 'event', as per prospectus:At our option, the junior subordinated debentures may be redeemed on or after August 1, 2014, in whole or in part and prior to August 1, 2014 in whole, but not in part, after the occurrence of a tax event, capital treatment event or investment company event, as described herein, in each case at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The junior subordinated debentures may also be redeemed in whole, but not in part, prior to August 1, 2014 at a make-whole redemption price after the occurrence of a rating agency event.
Where did you get that date from? The prospectus says that they can call the issue in early, but doesn't mention any date prior to which they can't call it in when certain conditions are met. Thanks.
I didn't know they could call early.

Today's Word of the Day means...
psyche psy·che (sī'kē)
The mind functioning as the center of thought, emotion, and behavior and consciously or unconsciously mediating the body's responses to the social and physical environment.
In Roman mythology, a beautiful girl who was visited each night in the dark by Cupid, who told her she must not try to see him. When she did try, while he was asleep, she accidentally dropped oil from her lamp on him, and he awoke and fled. After she had performed many harsh tasks set by Cupid's mother, Venus, Jupiter made her immortal, and she and Cupid were married. Her name is Greek for both "soul" and "butterfly."
The mind, soul, or spirit, as opposed to the body. In psychology, the psyche is the center of thought, feeling, and motivation, consciously and unconsciously directing the body's reactions to its social and physical environment.

Gun Injury Hospitalizations Drop 67% in CA
Two decades of declining firearm-related injuries in California is good news for population health, but the costs of treating patients who have been shot have risen drastically.
The number of people hospitalized for firearm-related injuries—from assaults to unintentional and deliberate self-inflicted shootings—has steadily dropped by a dramatic 67% over the last 20 years, from 10,832 in 1992 to 3,575 in 2010, according to a first-of-its kind report from California [PDF].
But even though the number of gun injuries has dropped throughout the state, the total cost and the per-day cost of caring for those injuries has gone up, from $1,859 per day to $4,120 per day. And hospitals may be absorbing a good bit of that bill.
Perhaps most significant, says Mary Tran, a research scientist with the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, which issued the report, "about two-thirds of the medical bill is paid by the government, which is the taxpayer."
Because government payers generally pay less than the cost of medical care provided in a hospital, that likely means that hospitals bear some brunt of the cost about two-thirds of the time persons wounded by gunshots are brought in for acute care, Tran acknowledges.

The Atlanta Police Department is looking for a man who followed a girl into her Virginia-Highland home and tried to force her to go upstairs with him.
Police described the suspect as a white male with a large build, possibly in his 30s, with blond hair that is a little longer than a crew cut. He was wearing blue jeans and a blue jacket and drove away in a gold colored sedan.
The incident happened Thursday morning after the 12-year-old girl rode her bike to Inman Middle School and realized she had left something at home. She returned home and, intending to dash in quickly for the forgotten item, left the door open.
According to a news release from APD:
"While the juvenile was inside a male entered the home. The juvenile told the male to leave but he did not and told her to go upstairs and began to move toward her. At that point the juvenile screamed, pushed the male out of the way and ran from the home."
The man left and fled in a gold sedan.
A woman who posted a comment on a Virginia-Highland email group identified herself as the child's mother. The woman said her daughter had noticed the car pass the house twice before the incident happened, but thought the driver was merely lost. The women said that after the man entered their home, he grabbed her daughter, who kicked and screamed to free herself.
"Thanks God for her, and for us, she did everything right, and she is okay," the woman wrote.
Patch is not naming the family to protect the girl's privacy.
Residents are asked to be on the lookout for anyone acting suspiciously and to call 911 to report suspicious activity.
Police ask that anyone with information on this suspect contact the Atlanta Police Special Victims Unit at 404-546-4260 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.

I'm a framer on eastern Long Island. My brother, Fred Jr., and I build a half-dozen custom homes each year, typically 5,000 square feet or larger. While Fred rides herd on the business end of things, I direct the field crew in a hands-on capacity. Last year, we began building a gambrel-roof, shingle-style home that features a two-and-a-half-story turret, 12 feet in diameter and about 32 feet high, not including the rooftop finial. The turret projects from the front elevation and encloses a stairwell with semicircular, mid-level landings between floors. The half-round tower opens into the first and second floors on the inside, but it becomes full-round construction where it penetrates the roof. In this article, I'll explain how I tackled this complicated piece of framing.
Fred worked with the foundation sub to stake out the turret's footing and foundation, using a nail to pinpoint the turret location and the center of its radius. From this pivot point, he swung a tape measure to locate the center of a 24-inch-wide poured concrete footing. He later used a trammel stick to swing the outer radius of the foundation wall onto the footing, using the point of a nail to scratch the green concrete. The foundation sub used 6-inch-wide panels to form the wall in a faceted curve.
The portion of the turret that projected from the building's facade was a little less than a half circle. Accordingly, we needed a semicircular mudsill and several half-round wall plates to frame the outer walls of the turret. We made the sill and wall plates by laminating a double layer of 3/4-inch plywood. For the mudsill, we used pressure-treated southern yellow pine plywood; the rest of the plates were made from fir cdx.
The 12-foot-diameter tower encloses a staircase with a semicircular landing at the first floor and an open railing at the second floor. Daylight from three windows floods the top of the tower, where it penetrates the roof and becomes fully round. Note the cricket where the tower's back wall interrupts the valley between the two gambrel roof sections.
We cleared a space on the subfloor, laid down a surface of clean plywood to work on, and I used a trammel to draw a full 12-foot-diameter circle to guide the assembly. The plates had to be made from several shorter segments of plywood; we were able to cut about five segments per 4x8-foot sheet. I used two marking points on the trammel, one at the 6-foot radius and the other 5 1/2 inches back, to make a nominal 2x6 plate. Although the cuts were curved, the radius was wide enough that we could make the cuts with a circular saw. Each layer required five or six segments to make a complete ring. We assembled full ring plates, then cut most of them into half-circles for use in the lower sections of the turret. We set aside four full circles with which to frame the section of the turret above the roofline as well as the bell-shaped turret roof. We also cut enough segments to fabricate curved window headers.
Two layers of 3/4-inch plywood, glued and nailed together with overlapping joints, formed the top and bottom plates of the tower's frame.
The sill plate was made from pressure-treated plywood.
The walls were assembled in place in three sections, with 2x6 studs toe-nailed in place on 6-inch centers, measured along the outside edge.
Wall framing began directly on top of the pressure-treated plywood mudsill, which was installed as usual over sill sealer and anchor bolts. The 2x6 studs were laid out radially around the sill every 6 inches on-center, measured along the outside perimeter.
We framed the turret platform-style, in three levels. The stacked plates and shorter stud lengths provided more stiffness than balloon framing.
The top plate of the second wall section stopped flush with the second-story ceiling joists. Above that, the framing went fully round where it projected through the roof.
We framed the second wall section with its top plate flush with the top of the ceiling joists over the second floor. Above that level, the turret framing projected above the roofline and became fully round. We framed the ceiling openings square as in a conventional stairwell and added diagonal framing to round off the corners.
The top, full-round section of the tower was framed on the ground and hoisted into place with a material lift.
The round section dropped neatly into place in a square opening framed to support it.
The close radial layout created tight stud spacing on the interior side, which was an advantage for drywall application but made for a labor-intensive insulation job. (We used R-19 unfaced fiberglass batts, each batt carefully cut and stuffed to fill the bays' flared contours.)
The turret section above the roof stood about 6 feet high. We framed it as a unit, on the garage slab, between two full-round plates, and lifted it into place with our JCD Load-All, an all-terrain forklift.

"Granny," as she was lovingly called by almost everyone who knew her, loved her garden, her flowers, animals, the birds she fed daily, her church family, lost children, and anything else that came through her yard or front door.
Over the years, she traveled, read, crocheted, embroidered, worked puzzles and canned vegetables from her extensive garden. Her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren meant the world to her, and she attended as many of their life events as possible.
She did her best to instill in her family; love, good manners, a good education, and the value of hard work. She was the glue that held her family together for so many years, and she will be sorely missed.
She is survived by her children Randolph Cornett of New Point, Gary Wayne (Delores) Cornett of Greensburg; Janice Faye (Don) Ufferman of North Fort Myers, Fla.; Lindell "Sam" (Cindy) Cornett of Batesville; Elizabeth Ann (Fred) Krieger of Greensburg; Patricia Kay (Jim) Muckerheide of New Point;
She will also be missed by her 14 grandchildren and four step-grandchildren, along with many great-grandchildren and numerous great-great-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her step children Vernon Cornett and Marjorie Ranger; sisters Edna Trent and Glessa Maggard; and brothers Chester, Culvert and Bennie Thomas.
Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at Meyers Funeral Home, 1150 State Road 46 E, Batesville, IN 47006.
Funeral Services will begin at 1 p.m. Sunday at New Point Christian Church, Pastor Mark Vice officiating.
Burial will follow in Rossburg Cemetery in New Point.
Memorials are suggested to New Point Christian Church, the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) or New Point Volunteer Fire Dept. c/o the funeral home.
