Rated 5 out of 5 by Joe142 Love the double oven We love the double oven! it does the job and more! Will definitely recommend to anyone in the market for a new oven! August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Becca I love this Range! Burners heat fast, controls are easy to use, the top oven is the perfect size for cakes, cookies, casseroles, etc., the proofing setting is wonderful, and it looks good! August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Great range, oven heats fast... Great range, oven heats fast and so does the cook top. Does make a clicking noise, but it's not near as annoying as waiting 20 minutes longer on my old range. August 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by minime Clicking Noise Love the double oven and the quick heating. VERY DISAPPOINTED in the clicking noise the cook top relays make when on any setting except high. It is a very annoying constant clicking every 3 seconds. LG service say this is a normal noise and they ALL make this noise. My mom has a cooktop LG oven and it does NOT do this. Highly disappointed in this! Now we just had an LG fridge delivered, and the fan makes a loud noise when running!!! Not very good luck with LG products so far!!!!!!!!!!!! July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michelle WOW!!! I am impressed with this range. The cooktop burners offer flexibility with the dual burners and I can fit multiple large pans on the cooktop at the same time. (My old cooktop would only hold one large pan and 3 small pans.) The two ovens allow me to make dinner and bake dessert at the same time - no more juggling start times and planning time for the oven to cool down to start the next dish. The infrared grille in the upper oven makes delicious roasted veggies. I'm learning how to bake with the convection oven and am pleased with the initial results - the breads and rolls are evenly baked and rise so high. The proofing function for bread dough on the lower oven is such a convenience. I even like the grab handles on the oven racks so that it is easy to slide out the racks. I am so glad that I saved up for this model, I haven't been disappointed. July 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by omda1161 Excellent product Love the double doors. Very user friendly. My wife loves it. Cleaning the surface is easy with no issues. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 99Red Love this range and double oven It was time for a serious upgrade. I studied reviews and opinions online, then went to a store to see for myself. Ultimately I chose the LG LDE3037ST. The cook top has plenty of burners and heat settings for all the cooking I do. Having a smaller oven on top saves plenty. I use it most of the time. A tall angel food cake pan required the lower oven to fit. Looking forward to infrared grilling. The EasyClean oven cleaning features are very useful. May 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karl Great Product Fast, easy to use, and cooks like a dream. It's everything our old range wasn't. May 22, 2014

A change is coming for families who use the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) or food stamps. On November 1, the benefits will decrease.
The food stamp cuts will affect more than 2 million low-income families in Illinois, about 23 million nationwide.
The cuts are a result of the expiration of the 2009 Recovery Act, a provision enacted to reduce hunger during the recession.
Come this Friday, a family of four will see a $36 decrease in monthly SNAP benefits.
Congresswoman Cheri Bustos said the food stamps program is a controversial issue heading into this week's discussions on the Farm Bill.
"Right now what needs to be worked through is the Supplemental Nutrition Program. There's a very big difference between the House version and the Senate version," Bustos said.
The Senate wants to cut about $4 billion over 10 years, while the House is looking to make over $39 billion in cuts.
Farmers like Jay Riddell are less worried about food stamp cuts in the Farm Bill, and more worried about protecting their investments.
"The biggest concern is that they won't fund crop insurance as adequately as they have in the past," Riddell said. "We have such a large investment in the acres of corn that we raise that we need some sort of a safety net if we have a drought like last year."
Riddell said he wants the food stamp program to remain connected to the farm bill. He said the program helps the Farm Bill gain support from urban lawmakers.
"Even though I believe 80 percent of the Farm Bill money now is going to the SNAP and the food stamps, I think the programs need to be tied together. It will allow us to get funded easier," Riddell said
Bustos said she is optimistic that a 5 year Farm Bill will come out of this, although it may take some time.
"I would say the sooner the better but I also say it's better to do things right than to do things fast," Bustos said.
Farmers like Riddell are hoping for a decision soon so they can start planning ahead.

Thinking Inside the Box | Column | 10/7/2011
July 19, 2012
MPTV: OPENING YOUR WORLD Hi Ellis Bromberg with more "Thinking Inside the Box" on mptv.org. The advertising world uses a phrase called "brand promise." And although we are a noncommercial station, we do have a brand just like commercial stations do, things which are distinctive or characteristic about Milwaukee Public Television. While both commercial television and MPTV provide you with information and entertainment, commercial TV focuses on programming that is advertiser-driven and somewhat homogeneous. MPTV, in contrast, is southeastern Wisconsin's only local, diverse, and non-commercial alternative and is a trusted resource for education, enlightenment, and enjoyment through television programming as well as community outreach. Our brand "promise" is that we afford the community an uncommon opportunity to freely explore different parts of themselves and the world around them in a way commercial TV and cable networks do not. This summer we began to discuss how we could distill that promise into a short phrase that we could use on-air. We shared a variety of different ideas, but one word and one concept kept coming up: the word, "open." The idea of being "open" to different things or "opening up" a subject to viewers is central to what we do at MPTV. Since we're a visual medium, we explored how we could represent this idea graphically, and that turned out to be so incredibly simple that everything fell into place. For example: representing our children's programming by the opening of a book or a toddler's eyes; our cooking program by the opening of a stove or cooking pot; our local programming by the opening of the Calatrava wings at the Art Museum or the roof on Miller Park; our travel programming by the opening of door on a plane or train as we de-bark; our nature and science programming by the opening of a flower or a butterfly's wings; our public affairs programming by opening the doors of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the State Capitol so you have a deeper understanding of what's going on inside. You get it. And now you're seeing the execution of those ideas in new visuals on the air, on our website, and in print. Our new theme is "Opening Your World." We think that's the perfect distillation of our brand promise, our mission, our vision. "Opening Your World." That's what we try to do with our programming, and our outreach activities to young and old. I'm interested by your thoughts about how we can improve on this "brand promise," and hope you'll drop me a line or give me a call and share your ideas. And I'll be back soon with more "Thinking Inside the Box."

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Rumors are circulating on Facebook by email that the "Talking Angela" application for iOS unsafely prompts children to provide personal information about themselves. One such accusation even made its way to the Toledo News Now Facebook page.
According to Snopes.com, the claims are without merit. The site, which investigates Internet rumors, calls the claims "false."
"Talking Angela" will repeat what children say, mimic their movements using the device's camera and respond to the child touching the screen.
According to Snopes, the application will not ask children questions when in Child Mode. When Child Mode is turned off, the application may ask questions about dating and other subjects parents may find inappropriate for young children.
Snopes says the problem may be that Child Mode is easy to turn off. Kids may even do it by mistake by tapping a small smiley face in the top right corner of the application.
Some more extreme rumors claim the application is being controlled by hackers or pedophiles. Snopes says these claims are completely false, and that text or photos from the application are not shared without the user's permission. Even with permissions, photos are only shared with social networking sites like Facebook. Text conversations with the cat are not shared with anyone.

Bill Birns presents a weekly essay on history, geography, day-trips, arts and culture in the Catskill Mountain region.
Christian's Drug Store, on Margaretville's corner of Walnut and Main, was a throwback to an earlier era, even in 1971, when I first entered the place. Joe Christian's store was part newsstand, part soda fountain, part bus station, part candy counter.
The Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown makes a great day trip destination with the kids this summer. Even without kids, The Farmers' Museum provides a pleasant and informative summer day.
The drive up Route 28 is beautiful, lushly green at the height of a Catskill summer.
For me, the iconic image of Margaretville is a classic Main Street postcard photo, taken around 1940, from the Walnut Street intersection. Now, that's odd, because I wasn't yet born when the picture was taken, and did not lay eyes on Margaretville until nearly 30 years later. Yet, somehow, that photo captures my sense of the village as a self-contained community, a small town at a time when America seemed a land of small towns. I love the picture.
Woodstock, the famous Catskill Mountain artist colony, became famous all over again as a music scene several years before the 1969 Woodstock Concert. After all, concert producers benefitted from the hip vibe of Bob Dylan's town in the very name of the Bethel, Sullivan County, festival, originally planned for Warwick. Woodstock was hip.
In 1887, J. Francis Murphy, celebrated New York studio artist, was inducted into the National Academy, and moved to Arkville. The National Academy was the very establishment of American art and design. It had been founded in 1825 by Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, Samuel F. B. Morse, and Martin Thompson "to promote the fine arts in America through instruction and exhibition."

TORONTO — The mayor of Canada's largest city was ordered out of office Monday after a judge found he had flouted conflict-of-interest rules for refusing to repay funds he solicited for his high school football team using city letterhead when he was a councilor.
Mayor Rob Ford blamed ''the left wing politics'' for the ruling and said he would appeal. The development is the latest in a string of embarrassments for the colorful mayor who has repeatedly found himself in the news since he was elected in 2010.

To work out new models, increase per user revenue
Telecom companies are going aggressive not just on pricing data services but also on creating a differentiation in positioning.
Already viral on the Web, Airtel's "jo tera hai, wo mera hai" promises to connect friends even while cashing in on the youth's fixation of putting things up on social networking sites.
Vodafone India's "Internet is fun" campaign launched during IPL-5 created a stir with "faster games on the Internet" being its standout point. (Each advertisement focussed on how Vodafone makes the mobile Internet experience more fun.)
Focussed on working out new models and increasing the average revenue per user (ARPU), telcos are opting to brand their data services. The strategy is to make clear the segment they are looking to place their offerings in. The ARPU for GSM operators went up by a rupee over the previous quarter to Rs 97 for March 2012.
Other Telcos
"Telcos need to re-invent their models and fit into the larger ecosystem. It is but a natural process especially when mobile Internet is becoming popular," Rajan S. Matthews, Director-General, Cellular Operators Association of India, told Business Line.
According to market sources, the traditional telco model — dependence on voice offerings — is no longer an option. Internet, especially social media and game downloads, are eating into that pie; hence the need for such branding. Currently, data contribute around 15 per cent of a telco's revenue.
"As in the past, Internet has been a standard theme in our communication starting from Super Weeks campaign using Super Zoozoos to Internet is Fun. We will continue to invest in both educating and propagating benefits of data for all segment of users," a Vodafone spokesperson told Business Line.
In fact, in India, Airtel and Vodafone are not alone in this race. Tata's DoCoMo is branding its offerings as a faster option through its "Put an end to waiting" campaign (Ranbir Kapoor as an ageing restaurant owner serving customers slowly.)
R-Com carried out its "My best plan" campaign for its USB offering (dongles).
The plan's uniqueness is that it adjusts basis the customer's usage, to generate the lowest possible bill. Reliance, however, did not respond to queries.
"Currently, data consumption is restricted to low-end offerings such as SMSes or ringtones. But it is definitely the area of the future for telcos. Moreover, most of such branding is being done by those operators which have 3G offerings or may roll out 4G services," Matthews maintains.
Pushing 3G offerings
The other model includes branding 3G offerings.
Idea's last campaign — "an idea can change your after-life" — came out during IPL-5 and focussed on 3G. Airtel's 3G campaigns include the brand positioning of 'closer to what you love' highlighting the functional benefits of the service.
According to Anusha Subramani, senior research executive at Tonse Telecom, operators have introduced the pay-as-you-use type of pricing model after initial tariff data plan consumption.
"Airtel introduced in May affordable 3G tariffs with volume-based browsing rate on 3G (down from 10p/10kb to 3p/10Kb). As a result, data usage per customer increased from 107 MBs to 112 MBs from Mar to June-2012," she maintained.
Customised Data Packs
Airtel now has its 3G Smartbytes or 'snacking options' where customers are able to continue to surf even after exhausting their monthly data limit. These allow customers to choose a plan that suits their needs at lower costs.
"The adoption of 3G has been picking up gradually, especially as consumers get to experience it and understand the impact it can have on their life and lifestyles," Deepak Gulati, Executive President, Mobility Business, Tata Teleservices Ltd, said.
According to a Vodafone spokesperson, the nascent market will follow the "Discovery" model for leveraging 3G speeds and connectivity.
"We have created products to meet customer needs across segments that include starter plans for snacking customers, high bundle plans for downloaders, daily packs for on the fly users," he added.

Sen. Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson, spoke once again Feb. 20 about a bill he has felt passionate about since the beginning of the session.
Senate Bill 368, which he relates to unfair trade practices, was introduced Jan. 16. The bill was meant to repeal a section of West Virginia code that currently allows for bigger businesses to be sued by smaller ones simply for being in the competitive market.
However, Snyder said after discussion of that bill, he decided to introduce another bill, Senate Bill 491, Feb. 5 that would specifically exempt sales of motor fuel from unfair trade practices.
He said in the eastern panhandle where he represents District 16, residents have seen higher gas prices than in other areas of the state, but it doesn't mean those in other counties are exempt.
Snyder is specifically concerned with a piece of state code that allows for businesses to sue another business that competes with it by selling a product at a cheaper price.
He said the lawsuits occurring across the state relating to bigger businesses being able to sell, for example, gasoline, cheaper than smaller businesses are not fair.
"There is a law on the books from 1939 that mandates retail and wholesale markets," Snyder said. "These lawsuits, at least for 20 years or more, have made the citizens of West Virginia pay more for gas."
Snyder said while he represents Jefferson County which is close to Virginia, much of the state's 55 counties are border counties and often see their residents going into another state to buy gasoline cheaper.
"The fair, open market system isn't allowed to work," he said.
Snyder said he anticipated the bill would be discussed in the Senate Judiciary committee Feb. 20.
During the regular floor session Feb. 20, Sen. Douglas Facemire, D-Braxton, spoke about the bill.
Facemire said he thinks he is knowledgeable about the issue, since he is the owner of several grocery stores in the state. He's been in the retail business for 32 years.
"If you're a big company your cost is always going to be cheaper than the small business," he said.
Facemire said citizens should be the people who are protected.
"The big boys are getting bigger, this (state code) offers no protection, but what it does offer is the citizens of our state have to pay more," he said. "We owe it to the citizens of our state to open up a system where the real capitalist market takes place.
"The only thing this law does is really let the big boys get bigger and the small suffer."
Sen. Sam Cann, D-Harrison, said he appreciated Snyder's compassion for the law, but didn't necessarily agree with Snyder.
"I know a number of us have a concern over that," Cann said. "I'm not sure that it is the right thing to do right now.
"I think it's something we ought to look at and maybe something we need to study. We always talk about small businesses in West Virginia, and I believe we have a lot of small businesses that could be harmed if we take this attitude."
Cann said he would stress the importance of using caution before lawmakers make a choice.
Snyder said the bill is about the 99.9 percent of West Virginians who are not making a profit from the sale of gasoline.
"This is not just an eastern panhandle issue, it has spread and it will come to your area if this law stays on the books," Snyder said.

The Document Foundation Announces LibreOffice Updates and Fundraising Accomplishments
The Document Foundation announced today that LibreOffice 3.3.1 with improved stability and new colorful icons is now available for download. The new icons are based on The Document Foundation branding guidelines, and includes updates to several language versions.
"LibreOffice 3.3 was our very first stable release, and the feedback from users has been extremely positive," said Thorsten Behrens, one of the developers with a seat on the Steering Committee in the press release today. "We have managed to troubleshoot a large number of bugs within a very short time, in order to maintain our enterprising release schedule.

What's black and white and covered with "mean reds"? Why, the long-time-in-coming Broadway debut of Truman Capote's classic 1957 novella, Breakfast at Tiffany's, which finally made it over the finish line March 20 at the Cort, of course.
First-nighters obviously got the dress-code memo and turned out splendidly turned out in black and white — a deep and respectful bow to the legendary black-and-white masque ball at the Plaza which Capote gave in 1966 to honor Katharine Graham. "Mean reds" was that horrible condition his idiosyncratic Tiffany's heroine, Holly Golightly, described as being afraid and not knowing what you're afraid of — and, certainly, that's an apt description of the anxieties on any Broadway opening night.
The popular Audrey Hepburn picture weighs a ton on this dark, sad little tale, which Capote originally told and which Greenberg has gamely attempted to second, to the point of merely typing huge chunks of the original verbiage into the play. Instead of Technicolor, the stage is atmospherically splashed with blowups of black-and-white photos right out of Life (the magazine).
"We used the photographs of Andreas Feininger, who was a great photographer of New York in the 1940s," relayed set designer Derek McLane. "We got the rights from his estate to use his photographs and we had them printed on the scrim panels that surrounded the set. To me, they really feel like the cityscape of '40s New York.
"One of the challenges I faced is the fact that the play is so different from the movie it really needs to have its own look — something completely distinct from the movie. It's set in a different era and has a completely different tone. It's much more of a memory piece, more noir-y, darker, smokier — and these have a lot of atmosphere."
Broadway-bowing in the iconic lead roles — no pressure! — are Emilia Clarke, who hangs out with dragons and such on HBO's series "Game of Thrones" instead of oversexed urban cave-dwellers, and, as Designated "Fred," Cory Michael Smith, last seen peddling Mormon books (not in that show!), in The Whale Off-Broadway.Continued...

Peter Grzeskowiak of Warsaw, North Dakota, the owner of a pack of dogs that mauled a Fargo man this week is in the Walsh County jail.
He's facing 3 misdemeanor counts.
Two counts of mistreating animals and 1 count of obstructing a government function.
He will be transported to the Jamestown State Hospital for a mental evaluation.
Authorities have destroyed 14 pit bulls and Rottweiler owned by Greek.
All of the dogs are being tested for rabies, as the victim goes through a series of rabies shots.
19-year-old John Munoz of Fargo reported being attacked by a pack of about eight dogs as he was walking east of Grzeskowiak's farmstead.
The sheriff's office says Munoz was knocked down and severely bitten all over his body by a large Rottweiler, a pit bull and several other dogs.
The dogs eventually let him go and he was able to get to a nearby farmstead for help.
Munoz was hospitalized with numerous dog bites.

Grading the mile run?

What is "average weight" these days?
9:30 is pretty slow (depending on his age, not listed.) Go run a mile and time yourself for comparison. Innate "speed" isn't the issue at 9:30, it's lack of exercise and training, probably effort as well, imho.
Go out and run together and watch him.
on Oct 30, 2012 at 11:49 am
Does he exercise outside of PE class? Maybe you should go running with him after school to help him work on his fitness.
on Oct 30, 2012 at 12:06 pm
Not trying to be too harsh --- but you can walk (i.e., not run) a mile in about 10 minutes time. So I'm guessing your son isn't exactly putting too much effort into "running" a mile.

The Department of Health and Environmental Control's Board of Directors held a meeting to say they commend the director's handling of the tuberculosis outbreak in Ninety Six.
The board unanimously passed a resolution affirming their support of DHEC Director Catherine Templeton during a special meeting and conference call Wednesday.
They said in the resolution that they support and commend Templeton, "For her transparent and professional handling of the agency response."
During the call, Upstate board member Clarence Batts Jr., who represents the 4th Congressional District, said he also wanted to commend Templeton for her, "Outstanding performance in the past year."
FOX Carolina spoke with Batts on the phone after the meeting where said in light of everything that has happened in Greenwood County, the board felt it was the resolution was the thing to do and no one had asked them to pass the resolution.
The board, appointed by Gov. Nikki Haley, met following last week's special state Senate committee meeting where Templeton testified about the agency's handling of the outbreak.
Batts said he was unaware of any complaints against Templeton but after the hearing, with the "flack flying around," the board felt they were being responsible by advocating for her.
"I continue to be encouraged by the Board's confidence in our dedicated group of professionals," Templeton said in response to the resolution. "Their support enables us to do what is right to protect public health and the environment, without the influence of politics or emotion."
During the Senate hearing, Templeton took the brunt of the questions and some attacks on her reputation, to which she replied, "We've held people accountable, for which I do not apologize."
Since officials announced that there was an outbreak at Ninety Six Primary School back in May, hundreds of people have been tested at least once for the disease. While the majority of test results came back negative, DHEC reported on Aug. 7 that a total of two adults and 10 students had the contagious form of the disease.
During senate hearing, officials said those who had the contagious form of TB are no longer infectious but are still being treated. The index patient, who was identified as the janitor at Ninety Six Primary School, is still under medical quarantine.
Additionally, lawsuits have been filed against DHEC in the wake of the outbreak regarding wrongful termination of former health employees and slander.
FOX Carolina received the following statement from state Sen. Joel Lourie, D-22nd District, in response to the board's resolution:
"I am not sure what planet Nikki Haley's DHEC board is living on, but back here on Earth in South Carolina, things are a lot different.
"We have families who are angry about the bureaucratic responses and medical treatment they are still receiving from DHEC. We have a commissioner in Mrs. Templeton, who has once again exposed our taxpayers to the costs of expensive litigation due to her knee-jerk reactions and personnel moves. And we have a board that meets in secret, but won't discuss this issue in public. I guess in the world of Nikki Haley and her DHEC board, 'It's a great day in South Carolina' but for the rest of us, the picture is not as rosy."
FOX Carolina is working to speak to other local and state leaders in response to the board's resolution.

Aroma: Strong pepper with grapefruit from the cascades hops.
Taste: Sweet maltyness balanced out with hops and pepper.
Mouthfeel: Thin to medium bodied, average carbonation. Pepper and hops bitterness in the finish.
This brew is very smooth for an IPA. Lots of pepper flavor where the hops profile of an IPA usually is

On tap at my work. Shout out to Jared (NB rep in our area) for getting this keg for us! Pours a hazy, orangish-copper-rust color with a small white head that disappears quickly. Scent is hoppy at first, but immediately gets peppery. Tons of pepper...which is a good thing...remind me of saisons. Some nice citrus notes a swell. Taste is just as it smells, but with more pepper. A ton of pepper flavor to this beer. Not a fan of pepper???...stay away from this beer. It works well here with the bitter hops and citrus fruits. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and somewhat sticky. Drinkability is high. Overall, our beer rep said this was an old keg. He wasn't sure how old, so I don't know when this was released. If this is an old keg, an IPA, and tasting this good...it must have been great fresh. Or maybe the pepper shines through more now, making it better. Who know....solid beer though.

Poured into a Black Raven pint glass. Pours a medium coppery amber. Nice two finger off-white head with good retention and great lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and pepper with faint hops. Flavor is peppery with a nice sweet malt base. Fresh pepper dominates but an interesting oregano element is also present. A hop bite at the end, but hops flavors are subsumed into the other spices. Medium bodied with some creaminess. I really like this spicy ale. I'm a big fan of fresh cracked pepper and this ale delivers a great pepper beer experience. Mmm..

Bottle from Elizabeth Station in Bellingham. Had it on tap there a while back and remember it being interesting...
Appearance. Pours a hazy, rich amber-orange with almost two fingers of thick head.
Smell. Sweet roasted grains, prickly ground pepper, some juicy citrus hops are there but it's a strange mix with the pepper.
Taste. Instant sweet black pepper(?), some big citrus hops and tropical fruits. Some lasting bitterness with the pepper there all the way through. It's getting better the more I drink.
Mouthfeel. Medium+ body with below medium carbonation.
Overall. I like pepper, and I like IPAs, but the two don't work all that well together for me. Interesting for sure, but not something that made me all "damn thats good beer!!".

Served in straight pint glass. Poured a light honey amber color with about a half-inch of off-white head that had pretty good retention and lacing.
The aroma had a bit of grainy malt as a base and mostly featured some gently piney hops. There was just a faint trace of pepper in the background. The profile was pretty similar on the tongue, basically it tasted like an average, middle of the road IPA, with just a tingle of pepper on the finish.
The body was fairly typical as well, the medium thin of most American IPAs, but it was just a bit sticky on the finish. Drinkability was OK, although the pepper might tire out the palate if you were to have multiples. Overall, an OK brew, one that's worth a shot if you see it.

This one is listed as being brewed at the Seattle site under the New Belgium license as a collaberation with Elysian's Dick Cantrell - as all the Trip series are.
Pours amber with surface bubbles and a residual lace. Smell is strong on the peppercorns, with some resiny and minty hops in the background. Strong malts not apparent here. Flavor is peppery and has some nice sweet malts with a good bitterness. Nice flavor honestly. Medium on full bodied with moderate carb. Nice beer, a bit of a novelty, but tasty.

- All images dealing with Russian space endeavours are a big unknown. It is assumed that patches and crew portraits fall under "official state documents PD-RU-Exempt", or some sort of "PD license" under the ISS agreement, but no one is really sure. Soyuz crew portraits are even more dubious, russian launches a total unknown. Note that NASA has many folks working in Moskou and Baikonur, who DO produce free images
- Visible Earth has an exception for QuickBird, SeaWiFS, OrbView and IKONOS imagery. These are NOT PD-USGov-NASA, though some of it is released as PD by their ownsers, after a set period of time.
- Hubble imagery is not fully defined. It seems that ESA claims copyright on them in Europe, but with these almost certainly PD in the USA, this seems irrelevant in normal practicality. Still, due to this possible "dual"-licensing, tagging them with their own license could be useful for the future. see also
- Landsat images are both PD-USGov-USGS and PD-USGov-NASA technically. since USGS does the primary management, USGS tag might be more appropriate.
- TRACE and SOHO images is not fully understood. It might be that there are limitations on commercial usage, but these are not specified. See also Template_talk:PD-USGov-NASA#SOHO_images_require_permission_for_commercial_use.3F
- Many parts of DSS and DSS2 (Digitized Sky Survey) are copyrighted, see DSS1 and DSS2 copyright status
- SDSS (Sload digital sky survey) is non-commercial see also
- NRAO images are non-commercial. NRAO is a project managed by AUI and financed (partly?) by grants of the NSF. Unlike NASA (which employs people and has it's own laboratories), the NSF only "donates" money to organizations. As such the works are not produced by an US government employee. The NRAO images are copyrighted and usage is licensed with this image policy. NRAO and NRAO partners explicitly claim copyright under a non-commercial license and the images are therefore not usable in Commons.
- Material from the Remote Sensing Tutorial is likely not public domain. http://rst.gsfc.nasa.gov/Front/overview.html
- Most Chandra images, are public domain, but some might not be. From Commons_talk:Licensing/Archive_11#Chandra_images_-_not_PD-USGov-NASA.3F and documented in an OTRS ticket.
The key to the Chandra credits is: Organization funding or owning the telescope/PI's institution/PI's name. So NASA/CXC/UC Berkeley/N. Smith et al. indicates NASA ownership of the telescope, we add CXC to indicate Chandra, then the PI's institution and the PI and/team for intellectual credit. If there is only one iteration of these three categories, and NASA is the name indicating ownership of the telescope, then the image or material is public domain. The other places simply give credit for the science discovery. If the first set of three is followed by a comma, and another credit in which the owner of the telescope is not named as NASA, then you have to get permission from the other organization to use that other layer or layers of the image.

The federal government shutdown that began this week because of a standoff between the Obama administration and Republicans over the budget and the president's signature health-care program is hitting Upper Keys backcountry guides in the wallet.
Charter guides received a message from the National Park Service this week that they cannot take clients fishing in Florida Bay until the feds get back to work. That means that more than 1,100 square miles of prime fishing is off limits between the southern tip of the mainland to the Keys until further notice.
The closing affects not only fishing guides, but anyone with a license to conduct business in the park, including tour operators and paddling guides — anyone with a Commercial Use Authorization permit, said Dan Kimball, superintendent of Everglades and Dry Tortugas national parks.
Biscayne National Park is also off limits. Enforcement rangers will be on duty, Kimball said.
Capt. Mike Makowski, owner of Blackfoot Charters in Key Largo, estimates this eliminates about 60 to 70 percent of his hunting grounds.
"This is going to put a lot of guys together in a small area close to the park," Makowski said. "It's going to be even worse on the weekend when we're going to have to compete with the recreational anglers."
The backcountry bay not only offers hundreds of species of fish for anglers to go after, it also provides boaters many small islands that block the wind and make for a smoother day on the water.
Capt. Perry Scuderi, of Captain Perry Charters, said the shutdown coincides with windy conditions on the oceanside of the Keys, leaving guides with few spots where they can fish comfortably with their clients.
"This time of year, with the wind, it's a big difference because you can't go out front," Scuderi said.
The last time Congress shut down the government was for six days in November 1995 and 21 days in between December 1995 and January 1996. The uncertainty over when congressional lawmakers and President Obama might come to some sort of agreement that would reopen government services is concerning to those who do business in the national parks.
"The real bad part is that we don't know how long this is going to last," Makowski said. Still, other guides wonder why the government shutdown should impact their trade at all.
Capt. Barry Hoffman, of Hoffman's Guide Service in Tavernier, said he doesn't rely on National Park Service personnel and rangers when he fishes the bay, so he doesn't see why he can't go there.
"It seems pretty senseless to me because they don't provide a service for us when we're out there," said Hoffman, who has been fishing the backcountry for more than 23 years.
Another segment of the Keys tourism economy being impacted by the shutdown is fishing tournaments.
Gary Ellis, founder of the internationally popular Redbone Celebrity Tournament Series, said this weekend's Redbone At-Large Tournament out of North Key Largo's Ocean Reef will be severely limited if participants can't fish in Biscayne Bay in Biscayne National Park.
"That's the guides' bread and butter," Ellis said. "Like so many government decisions, it impacts others out there trying to make a living, and yet Congress is still getting paid."
Anglers in this weekend's tournament will be hunting snook, redfish, tarpon, trout, bonefish and permit. If they have to go south to fish in the ocean, the number of species will be cut in half, Ellis said.
Ellis started the Redbone series in 1988 to raise money for cystic fibrosis research. Since then, the program has attracted scores of celebrities, including professional athletes and politicians, and has raised more than $18 million in research dollars for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
This weekend's tournament and the Baybone tournament scheduled for Oct. 11 and 12 will be negatively affected by not being able to fish in the Florida and Biscayne bays. But the Redbone Celebrity Tournament set for Nov. 1 and 3 attracts far more boats and will be a wash if the shutdown continues.
"If by November this is still going on, it will destroy the tournament," said Ellis. "Let's see if they could grow up in a few days."

This is a must have. Improved sound quality, and the Ultra-rare song Dream Dancer is a great song. Don't even think about it, just buy !
En 1986 salieron a la luz muchos discos brillantes, conocidos por todos los amantes del metal, como somewhere in time de los DIOSES, pleasure to kill, reign in blood, fatal portrait, peace sells, master of puppets, awaken the guardian, etc. Pero también salieron otros discos no muy recordados pero geniales como epicus doominicus metallicus, energetic disassembly, the deluge y una obra maestra llamada Crimson glory.
Indudablemente es un disco que no debe faltar en tu colección, en esta edición podemos contar con una canción extra.
Este disco es para mi uno de los grandes en la historia del Metal; desde Valhala, pasando por la increible Azrael y terminando (no en esta edición) con la narración de Lost reflection.
si aun no lo tienes pues no sabes lo que te pierdes.
Today- 7/8/09 "M" is no longer with us.. Let us celebrate the legacy he leaves behind.. Too sad to continue..
One of the best things about metal in the early 80's, particularly American metal, was the sense of "anything's possible" that so many bands embraced. It was perfectly reasonable for bands to wear armor onstage, slay giant dragons, or sport matching silver masks and have a lead singer called Midnight. As long as the quality of the music outweighed whatever image the band cultivated, bands could be as creative as they wanted, and this creativity would help define the energy of the still-developing metal movement.
Crimson Glory may have gained initial attention due to their masks and Midnight's mysterious persona, but their music was what made fans really take notice. The band's self-titled 1986 debut album is an incredibly strong power metal album, drawing influence not only from Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, but contemporaries like Queensryche and Fates Warning as well. The driving forces behind this release are Jon Drenning's frenetic guitar playing and superb songwriting skills, as well as Midnight's high-pitched banshee's wail. I love each of the first three Crimson Glory albums; each for different reasons. Still, I think that their debut album is the band's strongest overall album. Every song is amazing, and the album just seems to radiate that great 80's metal energy. I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it a progressive metal album, but it's definitely a power metal album with progressive elements.
Though it doesn't get anywhere near the praise that it is due, this album is the blueprint for many a current, fantasy-inspired, technically proficient power metal band. If you're into power metal at all, then this isn't even an optional purchase. It is an absolute must have album.
Edition Notes: Metal Mind reissued Crimson Glory in 2008. The reissue – a numbered edition limited to 2,000 copies – comes housed in a digipack with expanded liner notes, digitally remastered sound, and the rare b-side "Dream Dancer" added as a bonus track. The sound quality is the main reason to buy this reissue, as it's a big improvement over the original. Metal Mind also reissued Transcendence and Strange & Beautiful. Rating: 5/5

Surella H
Made this as a gift for my first grand baby and used it as a center piece at the baby shower. It is larger than one would think by looking at the pictures. I agree the grass was somewhat tricky. I added more leafs to the top. I also added plastic canvas to make the bottom not so floppy. Mine did look just like the picture. I did think directions for the top piece were not the clearest, but maybe it's just me.

Was a hit at the baby shower.

I made this last year for my niece's birthday and it looks exactly like the picture. The grass was a little tricky, but for the most part the project went quick and I had it done in a total of 5 days. The bad part was the instructions were divided between 3 monthly magazines so I had to wait until the magazine came out each month before I could continue! Annie's is making it easy for everyone to purchase it this way!!

I made two of these as Christmas gifts for two of my granddaughters. Absolutely adorable. Lots of oohs and aahs from everyone. This is a lot of work, but well worth it.

Made this as Christmas present for my granddaughter. It was larger than I thought it would be, but super cute. My monkey was darker brown and med brown and my elephant was darker grey with pink inside her ears and bottom of feet. Made it a little more colorful. Wish I could add picture of my finished project.

Police say a fiery car was the cause of reports of an early morning explosion Tuesday in Elkridge.
According to police, the department received several calls at about 2:45 a.m. for an explosion in the area of Sandy Ridge Road. When they arrived to the area, they found a car, fully engulfed in flames, on the 9th fairway of Timbers at Troy Golf Course.
Police say someone pushed a 2001 Chevy Impala down an embankment behind the office building at 6000 Marshallee Drive.
The investigation is still in the preliminary stage, according to Howard County Police spokesperson Mary Phelan, but at this time, she said, investigators do not believe the car was set on fire before it was pushed down the embankment.
The car had not reported stolen at the time of the fire, Phelan also said.
Police said arson detectives are investigating.
This article has been updated to include comments from the Howard County police.

Playing With Colors and Making Music
Join us at Handmade Music Friday Sept 28 for a hands on experience in music arrangement and participation/performance
incorporating elements from John Cage and Matthew Barney to bell ringing choir and "I Learned Everything
I Need To Know In Kindergarten."
The intention is compose a mural of music using a mosaic a tone color coding method pioneered by Sir Issac Newton
(I skipped him up at the top but this is for reals – http://www.gootar.com/theory.htm). For those interested there will be an opportunity to explore the choreographic methods of Merce Cunningham and music of John Cage in your frantic attempts to color on one side of the room and play the corresponding notes on the the other side while your time is
counted down,
Emerging from this chaos? A tune by Nona from Dark Dark Dark that can be played from the score.
Well, that's the plan at any rate. Come and play!

Cyrus Pireh will play an autoguitar set and give a workshop on how to make an autoguitar!! Touring Vegan chef Joshua Ploeg is coming from Portland and gonna be cooking up some "OH SNAP!!" on the mouthwatering tip!!
A consummate improviser and engaging performer, Cyrus Pireh was born in 1981 in Hoffman Estates, IL. Sensitive to sound from a young age, he began his exploration of string instruments and his artistic career in 1989. His belief in all sounds as one sound and in one sound as all sounds set him apart in his study of the electric guitar. His unique approach to tone and balance feature heavily in his landmark 4-hour work for solo electric guitar, openness, as well as in his continuing P.U.S.H.T.H.E.C.U.T. and 100 Streets series. He is today the world's greatest living electric guitar player. Cyrus Pireh records music and creates electronics for 4GRE http://4GRE.ORG/
Also there will be food provided by touring Vegan Chef Joshua Ploeg.
Joshua PLoeg used to/ still sing in punk bands (Mukilteo Fairies, Lords of Lightspeed, Behead the Prophet N.L.S.L., Warm Streams), now I cook vegan food and tour around in a fashion similar to the band tours of yore, mostly doing dinner parties and soirees in people's apartments and art spaces. I tour on public transportation for weeks on end, sometimes bringing my knives along and cook in a wild variety of kitchens (been doing it this way since 2003). I've also done several vegan cookbooks: "In Search of the Lost Taste", "A Typografic Meal to Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Libelle" (Netherlands), "Dutch Much", "Twelve Knights In My Kingdom" and "Something Delicious This Way Comes: Spellbinding Vegan Cookery". Hot Stuff! Currently I live "wherever"!
