In this ten-minute video, Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Michael Frith discuss some of the history and functions of muppets -- how they're put together, how simplicity leads to subtlety, and how to bring life to puppets. This is nerdier and not nearly as emotionally loaded as yesterday's post on Jim Henson's Memorial Services.

In May 1990, Jim Henson passed away. Five days later, a memorial service was held at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. In July, another memorial was held in London, at St. Paul's Cathedral. Both services were open to the public; Henson had made instructions about the services four years earlier, instructing that: 1) no attendees should wear black, and 2) a jazz band should be present. According to one account, apparently he also wrote: "I'm not at all afraid of the thought of death... READ ON

I admit, it's possible to make a video demonstrating ignorance about any topic -- just go ask people stuff on the street until you get enough "dumb" answers, and away you go.

A great place to stay in the mountains of Arizona
Kitty met us at the door to welcome us into their home. She and her husband were very warm and engaging, making us feel as though we were their invited guests. The property was very clean and well prepared for our stay. The beds were comfy and the home was quiet and peaceful, making for a good night's rest. The property is closely bordered by neighbors, yet we never heard them or even saw anyone since the yard and home are well laid out for maximum privacy. We found the home to be ideally situated for exploring the beauty of the Prescott / Sedona high desert which we took full advantage of. Lefty's steakhouse is at the bottom of the hill about 2 miles away and was excellent. We found the price to be a good value and hope to be back again soon!
Home away from home for a family reunion!
Just wanted to say thankyou for the wonderful accomodations! We have used this property on several occasions for a family reunion. There is plenty of room for several families to stay, but yet still cozy at the same time. The kids were able to play downstairs in the recreation room, while the adults could to talk upstairs, so everyone was happy! The back deck is perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee with a great view of the mountains. The property was well maintained and had all the essentials for a relaxing vacation. I like that it is a short drive to downtown Prescott, so you can enjoy some of the attractions and resturaunts the town has to offer, but you still experience the tranquility of the mountains. I would definitely use this property again and recommend it to family and friends!

Duck Burger Recipe
Apr 12, 2011 10:58 am
Haute burgers are hot
Every week on Food Republic, we'll introduce you to a new burger recipe to try at home. This week, we're throwing out a curveball, subbing in our feathered friend the duck's juicy meat for our beloved beef blends. It's all the rage in gay Paree and you can find some fine examples stateside like the duck burger from NYC's Perilla. But for those of us who just have to try making something ourselves, Food Republic whipped up this duck burger recipe. Try it out and let us know what you think.
Servings: 4 burgers
1 pound ground duck meat
1 ounce duck fat
4 scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 Brioche rolls, big enough for a burger
mayonnaise, for garnish
- In a bowl, mix the ground duck, scallions, ginger, duck fat, and Chinese five-spice together, season with salt and pepper.
- Portion into 4 patties
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook burgers, flipping once, about 8 minutes for medium rare.
- Top with cheese and serve on the buns with a side of mayo.

UPDATE: J.P. Morgan Upgrades Invesco Ltd. to Overweight on Expected Focus Shift
In a report published Tuesday, J.P. Morgan analyst Kenneth B. Worthington upgraded the rating on Invesco Ltd. (NYSE: IVZ) from Neutral to Overweight, and raised the price target from $31.00 to $34.00.
In the report, Worthington noted, "We had exited the recommendation earlier this year as the stock seemed fairly valued and we saw performance holes developing. However, we think investor focus on expense shortfalls has caused the stock to underperform in 1Q13. We expect that management will put investor concerns at ease in its 1Q13 and 2Q13 earnings releases, allowing them to focus on Invesco's stronger top line growth, driven by improved performance, sales and fee rates. We think the stock is a good one to own in advance of 1Q13 earnings, scheduled for April 30."
Invesco Ltd. closed on Monday at $29.20.

Jolene Anderson was on her own path to wellness when she received her first colon-hydrotherapy treatments. Invigorated by her experience, she gained certification and opened The Movement Colon Hygiene Center. Today, she leads her staff in clearing debris from bodies during colon-hydrotherapy sessions. Each client settles in a private room and removes below-the-belt garments before reclining with a book or personal music player. During each session, the gravity-fed flow from the Angel of Water system flushes out residue of environmental pollutants and previous careers as taste testers for mozzarella sticks.
The center's additional services ensure bodies' exteriors receive the same gentle attention. Sessions in the Mercola Vitality Refresh tanning system impart vitamin D while working to smooth wrinkles and soothe the muscle stiffness that results from impersonating Atlas. The TheraSauna's far-infrared rays beam in benefits including detoxification, cellulite reduction, and tension relief.
The Movement Colon Hygiene Center is open Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with extended hours every other Tuesday until 7:30 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday from 7:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
At Rejuvenation Bodyworks Massage, licensed therapists iron out kinks and relieve numerous symptoms with professional bodywork. Alongside standards such as Swedish and hot-stone massage, therapists offer exotic treatments like the royal Thai herbal poultice, a 14th century detoxification treatment that includes warm, herb-filled poultices rubbed along the body in between sessions of Thai and aromatherapy massage. The menu of services includes massages geared toward expecting mothers, headache sufferers, and athletes, as well as paraffin and hand and foot treatments.
The rays of the sun. The flicker of candlelight. The soft glow of fireflies on a summer evening. Humans are attracted to natural radiance, even in the metaphorical sense. While faces may not actually have the power to emit light, it's no surprise that phrases like "he was beaming" and "she lit up when she saw him" often find their way into the English language. The aestheticians at Medical Arts Unlimited's Advanced Skin Care Medical Spa understand the desire to keep the fires of youth burning bright. Ranging from facials and chemical peels to microdermabrasion and Botox injections, their results-oriented clinical treatments take years off of features while simultaneously delaying further signs of aging. In addition to their traditional treatments, aestheticians also equip beautifying technologies, including IPL and DioLite lasers, to keep skin healthy with the aid of the safest science. They also extend their handiwork's effects with a full range of products designed for the everyday maintenance of at-home use.
After examining each client's skin to determine its unique needs, the Jeunesse Palace Medi Spa performs customized facials using natural medical-grade skincare products imported from France. She deep cleanses pores, sloughs off dull skin cells with an exfoliating treatment, and invigorates skin with a massage before applying a rejuvenating mask. Visitors to the spa can also opt for microdermabrasion or chemical peels, or purchase beauty products on site, which are discounted by 5% for students and members of the military.
The staff at Ritacca Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa aims to balance both art and science in each surgical and nonsurgical procedure they perform. Whether patients seek tattoo removal, a face lift, vein therapy, or lip augmentation, the specialists outline custom solutions tailored to their clients' wishes and their skin's fear of falling. These plans accompany detailed information about each procedure to help patients to make the best health decision.
Decked in Renaissance–inspired art, stately wood accents, and plush leather furniture, the medical spa of Ritacca's upper level focuses on bringing inner beauty outward. The spa's skin specialists use lasers, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion treatments to help to reverse the signs of aging without subjecting faces to hours of Saturday-morning cartoons. Customers can further enhance silhouettes with expert waxing, gentle facials, and applications of permanent makeup.
Elite Laser and Skin Spa's technicians and medical professionals help men and women of all ages look youthful through skincare services including the thermotheraphy facial which uses hot and cold stones to stimulate circulation and reduce inflammation to help prevent visible signs of aging and reduce headaches, sinus problems, and tension. They also provide gentlemen's treatments and laser procedures. Clients can absorb Elite Laser's youth-lending products, which preserve rejuvenated skin more effectively than breathing jars of babies? laughter. Each appointment comes with a complimentary consultation.

This week in
unnecessary pie charts, we take a look at Andre Johnson's career receiving numbers compared to those of the next nine WRs that have played for the Houston Texans.
Like a Thanksgiving plate dominated by an oversized turkey leg, the chart above is hilariously unbalanced. We're all painfully familiar with the precipitous drop in quality after Andre, but it's staggering to see him account for as many yards by himself as almost everyone else on the list.
Hopefully we'll see DeAndre Hopkins distinguish himself from the pack of near-anonymous receivers accompanying him here. Click here for the full picture.
I am not sure if it means anything but the Houston Texans are now following Johnny Manziel on Twitter. I don't think they are following any other players in this years draft, including Bridgewater or Clowney. Maybe I am reading too much into it but this has to be a good thing for people who want the Texans to take Manziel. Here is a link to the article: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000325366/article/houston-texans-follow-johnny-manziel-on-twitter
Found this via the Houston Texans Instagram page,
Jonathan Garcia is a speed skater representing the US of A in the Sochi Olympics. He's also a Houston product and an apparent Texans fan.
He's competing in the 1000m today. Good luck, buddy. Read more about Johnathan here.
The National Football Post ran an interesting article from Jason Cole the other day about why J.J. Watt and the other members of such a great draft class are going to get screwed when it comes to contract extensions. It's really worth a read.
A storm is brewing.
"In the case of Watt, who is due to make just over $1.9 million this season, if his fifth-year option is $6 million and the franchise tag is $12 million for him in 2016, the Texans essentially have him under contract for three more years at only $20 million. On the open market, Watt might be worth double that."
Found this picture via Marc Vandermeer's Twitter.
With only pride at stake, Watt predictably gave his all, and you just know this loss stings as much as any other. For those keeping up at home, that's 15 losses in a row for Watt (and Duane Brown, too.)
Watt finished the game with a sack and a SWATT plus numerous QB hits and pressures.
From A.J. Bouye's Twitter feed. This is how you celebrate the holidays! Notice the $4,600 worth of Louis XIII, which amounts to 28 one-ounce shots according to Johnathan Joseph's Instagram account. Outrageous.
I saw this originally on SoTT and thought it was worth sharing.
The "smh" caption from the link is as telling as it is brief. I'm surprised that fellow rookie D.J. Swearinger wasn't forced to split it with him.
I want to believe you're the answer, Case.
I want to believe that with the Titans and Colts losing, we still have a chance to turn this season around.
I want to believe you're the next Kurt Warner.
I want to believe!
Raise your hand if you're old enough to remember this gem. I'd pick the Beer Bottle over the Beer Can right now.

Hollywood stars have a cup of tea
4:23am Sunday 13th January 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Jon Bon Jovi, Sally Field, Hugh Jackman and other Golden Globe nominees have celebrated their good fortune with a cup of tea.
They were the guests of honour at the annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts annual Awards Season Tea Party at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, where the agenda was merely to mingle with the Hollywood elite while nibbling on finger sandwiches and scones with cream.
The pre-Globes event was among many around the city, and one of three held at the hotel.
Tea party guests could also get glamorous at the InStyle Beauty Lounge or gifted at the HBO Luxury Lounge.
The Golden Globes will be presented later at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

7-17-14 Gas Pipeline/LNG Project Public Meetings
Fairbanks LNG/Gas Pipeline Project Meeting Tonight In Fairbanks. Details.... Tuesday's Anchorage Meeting Report Below:
KSKA (Audio here) by Anne Hillman. The Alaska LNG Project hosted a community meeting in Anchorage on Tuesday night. About 90 people listened to an explanation of the newest version of a plan to get natural gas from the North Slope to market.
Project manager Steve Butt (NGP Photo) explained this project is different from previous failed attempts to build a gas pipeline.
"An LNG project is when resource owners work together to create an infrastructure to connect that resource to a market," Butt said. "It's regulated differently, it has different business risks, and it's a different business model. A pipeline is an important part of our project, but what we're really trying to do is deliver gas to global markets, not to just any one market."

7-15-14 LNG Forum In Anchorage Tonight
Today's LNG Community Meeting In Anchorage
By Bill White
It's been clear that the executive branch of the federal government is working overtime to extend its authority. This started long before Obama became president, but it has accelerated at an alarming rate since he took office. Obama's administration has put out more regulations per week than any before, each of which extends EPA's authority to reach into people's lives and control them and their businesses.
While the IRS has the reputation of being the most insidious of all government agencies, I'd have to say that the EPA is working hard to stay a close second. What started as a government agency to protect our corner of the world has become the political arm of the environmental movement.
That's scary enough in and of itself. There aren't many special interest groups that have control of a government agency, but the EPA has pretty much been taken over by environmentalists. Oh, they don't "officially" own the EPA, but they pretty much dictate what the EPA does.
We see this no more clearly than watching how Obama's EPA is working hand-in-hand with radical environmentalists to force the country into green energy, by making it either illegal or impossible to use cheaper sources of energy.
|This is why yesterday we commended the work of Consumer Energy Alliance, for doing its best to protect consumer interests. -dh
The EPA cares no more for your and my interests than those environmentalists do. Their focus is on taking the world back from man and giving it back to nature. It seems like if a few billion people have to die to do that, then as far as they're concerned, no problem.
That may sound a bit alarmist, but it's not a new notion. The Georgia Guidestones, a New Age monument, said to have the New Age Globalist Manifesto written on it, declares that one of their goals is to bring the world population down to 500 million people, about one-fourteenth of what it is today.
Interestingly enough, that same figure shows up in the United Nations Agenda 21. Agenda 21 purports itself to be a "voluntary action plan for sustainable development." One hundred, seventy-eight countries have signed it, including the United States.Surprisingly, it was President Bush who signed it, not President Obama.
It takes a while to dig through Agenda 21 and gain any understanding of it, but it basically herds all of mankind into big cities, leaving the rest of the world to return back to nature.
Okay, so what does this have to do with the EPA? Since "sustainability" is a catch phrase for "protect the environment at all costs" it has a lot to do with the EPA. Essentially, the EPA is the government agency which has the greatest responsibility for implementing Agenda 21. They are coordinating the efforts of other government agencies, such as the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) to find ways of implementing the necessary changes so that Agenda 21 can be put into full effect.
Remember Clive Bundy and his ranch? That was the BLM working on a land grab. One thing that was hardly mentioned during that debate is that the BLM had already managed to put all the other ranchers in that area out of business; Bundy was the last man standing. They wanted to clear Bundy out, so that they could turn that area back over to nature as a refuge for the desert tortoise.
That's bad enough, but the latest action by the EPA is even worse. The EPA is working to redefine the Clean Water Act, which gives them authority to regulate wetlands and waterways. Under the new definition, they would also have control over any lands which have temporary wetlands, as well as all tributaries that feed into waterways, even temporary tributaries.
(Video: Published on Jun 3, 2014; Uploaded under "Fair Use" provision for discussion and commentary at PolitiBrew.com)
That doesn't sound so bad, until you understand what it means. We've already seen some of their definition, by how they've been attacking citizens, essentially implementing these new definitions before they are officially accepted.
A "temporary wetland" is anywhere that there is water present only part of the year. Let me ask you a question; is there any time during the year, where water puddles in your yard? If so, you have a temporary wetland. According to the EPA's new definition, you don't have control over your land, they do. Basically, they own your land.
The same thing can be said for temporary tributaries. If you have anyplace on your land where water runs off when it rains, leaving any sort of a mark, that would be considered a temporary tributary. Likewise, drainage ditches and landscaping ponds would give them the right to your land.
Let me be clear about this. The EPA is trying to use this twisting of the law to confiscate land from law-abiding American citizens, who haven't done anything wrong. Their only justification is the way that they are writing regulations, nothing more. Congress hasn't given them this authority, they have seized it on their own, perhaps under the president's direction, perhaps not. Whether or not he has approved it really doesn't matter, as they know he supports Agenda 21.
About the only way that you could make sure that your property is safe from seizure under these new regulations is to make sure that no water could fall on it.
I suppose if you built a roof that extends from border to border of your property, forcing all water that falls there to run off onto your neighbors' property, you'd be safe. But then, all it would take is one leak in that roof and they'd have the loophole they need.
It is germane to note that this action is illegal. The Supreme Court has already ruled twice that the EPA's authority is limited to relatively permanent bodies of water, not temporary ones.
However, that doesn't meet the progressive agenda, nor does it allow them to implement Agenda 21. So you can be sure that they will keep on trying, regardless of whether their actions are legal or not.
Bill White is the author of Conquering the Coming Collapse, and a former Army officer, manufacturing engineer and business manager. More recently, he left the business world to work as a cross-cultural missionary on the Mexico border. Bill has been a survivalist since the 1970s, when the nation was in the latter days of the Cold War. He had determined to head into the Colorado Rockies, should Washington ever decide to push the button. While those days have passed, the knowledge Bill gained during that time hasn't. He now works to educate others on the risks that exist in our society and how to prepare to meet them. (Note: while NGP is devoted to energy issues and not future political theories, we do find White's analysis of EPA regulatory overreach to be generally consistent with the EPA's demonstrated due process abuses and overreaching excesses in Alaska. From a national perspective, we find the Fox News video to be perhaps the only detailed media review of Federal Clean Water Act regulatory implications. Natural resource developers, transporters, farmers, municipalities and states throughout the nation should have their government and external affairs offices placed on high alert and work with Congress to curtail EPA overreach before it does more damage to the economy and, indeed, to national security. -dh)

7-14-14 Consumer Energy Alliance Looks Out For Us All
As longtime supporters of Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA), we appreciate this week's notes below from Natalie Joubert (NGP Photo), of the organization's Washington Office. CEA works to make sure energy consumer interests are served and their projects include support for the Keystone XL pipeline, many Alaska energy positions endorsed by Alaska leaders and Lower 48 energy issues also affecting both Alaska and Canada. -dh
Calls to Action: CEA is seeking our readers' support on initiatives this month, including: Comments on the OCS Five-Year Offshore Oil & Gas Leasing Program; Comments and attendees to oppose a ban on fracking in Denton, TX (the City Council will hold a hearing on Tuesday in Denton); and Comments and attendees on the EPA's carbon pollution regulations. CEA will be speaking at each of the four EPA hearings later this month. (See an example of how CEA processes our letters here. -dh)
Upon news that a decision on Keystone XL may be delayed past the midterm elections, media outlets seized on CEA's recently released report on the economic impacts of the Gulf Coast Project, the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline. The Washington, Examiner, Canada Free Press, and Right Side News all quoted the study to demonstrate the positive contributions to the local economies along the Keystone XL route.
Construction of Keystone's Gulf Coast pipeline added $5.7B to local economies Michael Whatley (NGP Photo), Executive Vice President of CEA, is a well known national speaker, having appeared at scores of events throughout the Lower 48, Alaska and Canada. He is quoted in this E&E News story about a CEA report showing how the Gulf Coast pipeline has brought billions of dollars to numerous rural Texas and Oklahoma counties. Construction of the southern segment of TransCanada Corp.'s politically fraught pipeline has brought billions of dollars to the rural Texas and […]

(Note: Sometimes we write letters from scratch and sometimes we borrow from the testimony we give at public hearings. However, since this administration seems more concerned with executing an agenda than honestly reacting to a 'record' developed in the public interest, we are pleased to also comment through the CEA website and simply contribute votes in favor of consumer interests and our philosophy. Note that one can use the format and distribution mechanism but personalize the letter as desired. As an example, below is this morning's comment delivered via the CEA website, for your review, and it demonstrates how CEA communicated back to us. We find the process to be professionally handled. The message is valid. And, it saves time! -dh)
Your Letter to the President and Congress
Dave, thanks for taking action on behalf of Consumer Energy Alliance. Your messages are on the way.
An individual copy of your letter will be sent to each official:
July 14, 2014
Dear President Obama,
Dear Representative Young,
Dear Senator Murkowski,
Dear Senator Begich,
Kelly Hammerle
Five Year Program Manager
381 Elden Street
Herndon, Virginia 20170
RE: Request for Information on 2017-2022 Outer Continental Shelf Oil & Gas Leasing Program
Dear Ms. Hammerle:
As the federal government examines areas to be considered in the next five-year offshore oil and gas leasing program, I urge you to include all unleased areas in the draft plan. Future environmental analyses will guide whether an area should be precluded from leasing. Right now, let's leave all of our options on the table.
In particular, it's time to open new areas in the Atlantic and Eastern Gulf of Mexico to exploration. Recent federal estimates show that the Atlantic likely holds 4.7 billion barrels of oil – 43% more than estimated just a few years ago. Seismic surveying and exploration of the Mid- and South Atlantic will help us better understand this prolific resource base. The Eastern Gulf similarly holds excellent potential and should not be precluded from the plan. If we don't examine the potential of these areas now, it'll be another five years before we can again consider leasing. And a lot can change in five years.
We also need to continue to advance our opportunities in the U.S. Arctic. Aside from being the largest untapped resource basin in North American, energy exploration in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas will advance our scientific understanding of the Arctic and advance our geopolitical interests in the region.
A sensible long term energy policy must include our offshore resources. Shale energy has fortunately lowered our dependence on overseas oil, but we're not energy self-sufficient just yet. We need to continue to explore new resources to ensure that the U.S. economy and its consumers have access to domestic energy for years to come.
I appreciate the opportunity to comment and again encourage the government to thoughtfully examine all of our options.
Mr. Dave Harbour

7-11-14 Native Leaders Support SB 21 - Is Enbridge Alaska's Newest Pipeline Sweetheart?
Did You Read It Here First? Last Night The Globe & Mail Posted News Involving A Relationship Between One of Canada's Greatest Pipeline Companies And The Alaska Gasline Development Corporation.
|Globe & Mail by Shawn McCarthy.
Enbridge Inc. is turning its eyes north to Alaska, entering talks with the state to build an $8-billion (U.S.) natural gas pipeline there if a competing project falters.
The Calgary energy company and the state-owned Alaska Gas Development Corp. (AGDC) "are undertaking substantive and exclusive discussion" which would see Enbridge become the builder and operator for the 1,163-kilometre pipeline. It would carry natural gas from the North Slope to Fairbanks and other communities in southern Alaska.
ADN Opinion Editorial, by Rex A. Rock Sr. (NGP Photo), Aaron Schutt, Sophie Minich, Helvi Sandvik, Jason Metrokin, Gail Schubert.
Many Alaskans may wonder why six of the largest Native corporations have united behind the effort to defeat Ballot Measure 1. Those who know little about us might assume it's because some of the coalition members have business interests aligned with the oil industry. But that is too simple an answer. We did not enter into this conversation lightly.
As First Alaskans, our people have learned for generations to use and protect the resources that surround us. We have learned that to provide for future generations – for tomorrow's children to have the same opportunities we enjoy – hard decisions must be made today.
We have listened carefully to the debate surrounding tax reform and weighed its benefits and drawbacks. We have also allowed ourselves the time to determine if the oil industry's promises of increased investment were genuine. Some of our businesses are in the oil industry and some are not. What we have seen is an increase in investment into our oil industry, aimed at getting new oil in the pipeline. While that may be good for some of our businesses, it is good for all Alaskans. Our corporations collectively employ thousands of Alaskans and our employees support small Alaska businesses and the overall economy. New investments increase our opportunity to put new oil in the pipeline. Extending the life of our oil fields translates into continued contributions to our state treasury and the services the state provides to Alaskans for the long-term.
7-10-14 Respecting The Duty To Consult
See the LNG Project's Public Meeting Schedule here. News Miner Story: Gasline Advisory Board
See Senator Cathy Giessel's 5-year OCS Lease Sale Comment Letter, here. Here is how our readers can comment.
Respecting both "Due Process" and the "Duty to Consult"
Dave Harbour
Canada's "Duty to Consult" (1,2) and America's similar concept are not and should not be just legal requirements for natural resource companies. Consultation is a basic principle of good communications, responsible corporate citizenship, or, at the least, enlightened self interest.
We have known and respected the work of Bill Gallagher (NGP Photo) for over 20 years.
A serious, fair minded man, he was one of the first counselors to begin publicly speaking about the importance of Canadian project managers communicating in good faith with local stakeholders.
Of his book (NGP Photo with our Alaskan Anaktuvuk Masks), "Resource Rulers: Fortune and Folly on Canada's Road to Resources", Bill says his is, "the definitive book tracking the rise of Native empowerment and their remarkable legal winning streak in the Canadian resource sector. Understanding the Native interconnections, eco-activist linkages, and government responses is essential for planning successful resource strategies."
To consult, cooperate and communicate with the public in general and stakeholders specifically, is a responsibility to shareholders and the obligation of a responsible project manager -- as we have discovered in both Alaska and Canada.
In short, project consultation with all relevant parties is as important to the success of an investor's project as good design, engineering and construction.
Corporate managers who fail to embrace this reality will be more likely to take superbly engineered project blueprints to their graves than to ribbon cutting ceremonies.
On the flip side, stakeholders who take advantage of project managers through intimidation or by making unreasonable demands can, likewise, kill projects that would otherwise sustain local, regional and even national economies and families.
Thus, an effective process of consultation can only work well in an honestly regulated environment where the government and all parties respect due process and the rule of law is faithfully upheld.
We would add this opinion.
Good project managers should always consult with local stakeholders. The relatively little time and money spent in demonstrating friendship, open communication and good corporate citizenship ultimately saves shareholder dollars and minimizes dispute.
However, when the common sense requirement of good communication becomes a legal "duty" (i.e. applied differently in the US and Canada) complete with years of court precedent, two phenomenon may begin to occur. First, investors can become tempted to invest minimally in good communication and for the primary purpose of meeting the letter of the law. Second, distant stakeholders, like environmental and social activists may attempt to use the legal "duty" of consultation as a tool to delay or block projects for political, fundraising or other reasons.
In Alaska's case, the Pebble Partnership mining project has provided jobs and economic support to local communities while investors develop a mining plan upon which it can base future permit applications. Though the project did not labor under a "duty to consult" law exactly like Canada's, it did recognize that surviving a challenging permit process would require local stakeholders to be both knowledgeable about and beneficiaries of the project. The project's public outreach program has been exceptionally executed.
The permit process to follow, would then allow public comment on each phase of the project as it pursued the permitting requirements. A final decision on the permit applicant's project would be based on an objective review by regulators of the record of evidence collected from filings and testimony. That decision, in turn, can be administratively appealed or appealed through the court system. This is known as "due process", a key provision of America's 'Rule of Law', memorialized in the 5th and 14th Amendments of the US Constitution.
The Pebble mining project would occur on Alaska state lands leased to the partnership. But after one lodge owner began spending millions of dollars to oppose the project -- in concert with environmental activists and some local residents -- the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stepped in and is now in process of attempting to preemptively block the project. No application exists, nor does a record of decision based on an application; and, the potential applicant holding valid Alaska state leases is denied an opportunity to appeal a decision on an actual application based on a record.
The EPA rational is based on grounds that the project could cause environmental harms that it imagines will occur even before the project has filed for a permit and been allowed its constitutional right of due process.
But if the EPA can preemptively strike down a mining project without allowing it due process, no highway, oil and gas, municipal utility, agricultural, transportation or commercial fishing project is safe from a preemptive, arbitrary and/or capricious government shutdown.
Yes, we strongly support local stakeholder consultation by project investors. We also caution our fellow citizens that to properly balance opposing viewpoints, an impartial government regulator is essential.
If citizens either in Canada or the United States perceive that regulatory authorities do not base decisions on an objective legal record achieved through due process, the rule of law itself is jeopardized.
When the rule of law disappears, civilization devolves into a chaotic state wherein "Might Makes Right", as the Romans found in the 5th Century and as Germany taught the world in the 1930s through WWII.
We hope that alert citizens throughout North America will choose to support good communication and win-win outcomes between natural resource wealth producers and local citizens.
But we acknowledge that this will not be possible without courts of law, legislative bodies, presidents and prime ministers who are able to overcome political temptations and consistently support the rule of law -- and the due process upon which it depends -- to produce just and reasonable decisions.
In that way, perhaps we can pass down to our children a society that rests on solid, ethical standards demonstrating that, indeed, "Right Makes Might".
Predecessors, like Abraham Lincoln (NGP Photo), passed that legacy to our our later generation when he said in the great Cooper Union Address, "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it."
If we and our leaders properly discharge our Constitutional obligations as we understand them, perhaps our children will look back and say of our generation that, "They protected for us, the great legacy of the rule of law, wherein doing the 'right' thing makes a country 'mighty'."
Yes the duty to consult with one another is both right and good business. But even more important is the duty to maintain a nation and society of well observed laws and the protection of due process.
Thanks to BP's Julie Hasquet, we hear that the Alaska LNG/Pipeline project will provide community project briefings next week (i.e. very timely with respect to our commentary today.)

Happily, sponsors will provide refreshments.
Here is Senator Cathy Giessel's (NGP Photo) 5-year Lease Sale Comment Letter.
We encourage all of our readers -- throughout the country -- to comment as well by the July 31 deadline! Here's how.
In her letter of July 8, 2014, Senator Giessel wrote:
Ms. Kelly Hammerle
Five Year Program Manager
381 Elden Street
Herndon, Virginia 20170
Dear Ms. Hammerle:
Alaska is fortunate to be an important contributing part of our nation's leading role in global oil and natural gas production. Our nation has the opportunity to continue to be an energy leader if the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) adds currently unavailable offshore areas, such as Alaska, the Atlantic, and the Gulf of Mexico to the upcoming 2017-2022 Five Year Plan.
These additions would further boost our nation's economic and energy security as well as create much needed tax revenue. Alaska has experienced the continued benefit of increased jobs and revenue from oil and natural gas development, and I believe that every state with these natural resources should have the opportunity to benefit from the same economic gain. Equally important, as part of the United States of America, other states should be contributing to our nation's economic and energy growth and not remain stymied by policy barriers.
I am a strong supporter of protecting our environment; Alaska, with its refined application and permitting process, is an example that oil and natural gas can be developed in a way that protects both people and its ecosystems. Therefore, I am confident that energy companies and other states will utilize the same best practices, standards, and regulations that are in place to safely develop offshore oil and natural gas resources.
I applaud our Congressmen for passing a bi-partisan bill, the "Lowering Gasoline Prices to Fuel an America That Works Act" to support offshore oil and natural gas development and support whatever means are available to move this economic opportunity forward.
I would appreciate your consideration and urge BOEM to include currently unavailable offshore areas, such as Alaska, the Atlantic, and the Gulf of Mexico in the upcoming 2017-2022 Five Year Plan. We must continue to generate jobs and revenue to rejuvenate our nation's economy and decrease our reliance on foreign energy sources.
Senator Cathy Giessel

When you're in a state of panic, you can do some things really well, such as run after a bus, think up an excuse or find a last-minute gift. Other tasks, however, require a calmer approach. You don't want to be panicky when you're slicing a tomato, pouring hot coffee or preparing your taxes - and you certainly don't want to panic when you're investing for the long term.

WASHINGTON - A "perfect storm" of tightened credit by commercial lenders, declining creditworthiness and reduced demand for loans from small business borrowers uncertain about the future has led to a substantial decline in the number of small business loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration during FY08, SBA Acting Administrator Sandy K. Baruah said Friday.
Over the past few weeks, the news has been almost incomprehensible. It's hard for many of us to make sense of the failure of major Wall Street firms and large banks and the $700 billion bailout of the financial sector. And it's hard for investors to be calm when stocks have fallen almost 30 percent from their all-time high a year ago. What can you do to cope? Consider the following "checklist" for surviving a financial crisis:

Again, that whole idea is totally out of the question, Revit doesn't work
anything like that. If you want to build something in Revit that was drawn
in AutoCAD, pin it up on the wall above your monitor and use it to help
you built the thing in Revit. That's it, that's the truth. But yes there are
some exceptions for importing dwg lines.
Edited by
IFC import/export is really the only choice to get the objects from AutoCAD Architecture into Revit. This method is however going to be somewhat limited. The IFC objects imported into Revit will be Revit objects, but may not behave in all of the same ways you might want them too. It will be limited. Rofs are a good example; a simple hip roof comming in via IFC will be created as 4 seperate slabs. The "roof" in this case will not modify like a typical roof created in Revit would. The 4 slabs are technically "roofs" but that is pretty much where it stops.
If you are goign to need to do significant modification to the geometry imported via IFC you will probably want to consider re-modeling in native Revit objects. If it is to document existing conditions or preform a remodel project of some kind the IFC stuff is probably ok.
Thank you,
I am dissapointed that its not as easy as i would like, but thats life! I just hate to take all that time to re-draw...almost not worth it.
If anything changes let me know!

I will give you here a simple key to understanding what you are still
not understanding. This is very valuable for people new to Revit.
You don't "re-draw" anything in Revit. You start virtual construction,
and that is called a "model".
It's possible to just start building a model without any sketch lines
to start from, but that's the same as starting to build the real building
with no construction documents.
With CAD, they drew the lines and then built the actual building from
those lines. With BIM, they draw the lines, maybe with AutoCAD or a
pencil, and then build a virtual model from those lines, that is then
converted into construction documents, from the model.
So now there is a new step in-between.
If you are just building a simple house or something, you may not
need a virtual model. But if you are building a medical center, you
do need a virtual model.
I guess the reason Autodesk bundles AutoCAD with Revit is because
AutoCAD can give us all the preliminary lines we need to start the
Revit model. And there are many different ways to use those CAD
lines to build a Revit model.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you for clarifying. Agreed, Revit is modeling, not drawing. However, he's trying not to "re-build" the model components that are already in 3D CAD. I'm in the same situation. The previous team was more comfortable with modeling in CAD, but when we took over to start DD, Revit is more appropriate for our team. Since both CAD and Revit are from Autodesk, we were hoping the model components (including walls, doors, window system, curtain wall, some furnitures and even overhang, etc.) would be convertable. Even knowing we need to re-build some pieces, it is a bit disappointed to find out they are not as easy to convert / transferrable.
Thanks anyway.
I would simply finish the project that was started in AutoCAD Architecture, using the same software. New projects can be started in Revit, if that is the decision. I don't see why a project from ACA should be converted into Revit. It is not technically possible, but both programs are very capable, why do you bother with the conversion?

Chopin's Hallucinations Likely Caused by Epilepsy
Epilepsy was the likely cause of hallucinations experienced by 19th century Polish composer Frederic Chopin, according to a new study.
Researchers reached the conclusion that Chopin had temporallobe epilepsy after analyzing the musician's own descriptions of his hallucinations — including his description of a "cohort of phantoms" — as well as accounts of his life written by pupils and friends such as George Sand.

Leona Williams is known as one of Merle Haggard's ex-wives, as well as the mother of country singer Ron Williams, but she's also a highly talented singer/songwriter in her own right, with a beautiful voice and tremendous range. She's sung duets with Merle as well as being one of his backup singers, she's toured with Loretta Lynn and Jean Shepard, played with the Grand Ladies of Branson, and she's written some good ol' country hits. Now she takes on some of Merle's greatest hits and puts her own spin on them.
Leona Williams began her illustrious career at the age of 15, with a radio show called "Leona Sings." She hit the ground running and hasn't stopped since. Her honest and clear voice got her several hits once she moved to Nashville, and then she toured with Loretta Lynn as the upright bass player and harmony singer.
Later she met Merle Haggard, teamed up with him for a few duets, and they later married in 1978. She wrote "You Take Me For Granted" and "Someday When Things Are Good" for him.
From there, she's forged herself a very successful recording and touring career, including trips around the country and around the world. She's sung duets with George Jones, Jimmy Martin, Floyd Tillman, Justin Trevino, Johnny Bush and Joe Paul Nichols; she was inducted into the Country Music Association of Texas Hall of Fame in 1999, and has also been inducted into the Missouri Country Music Hall of Fame. Her songs have been recorded by just about everybody. So now Leona has released a collection of Merle Haggard's best known.
The Songs:
From "(Tonight the) Bottle Let Me Down" to the iconic "If We Make It Through December," she does a fine job of making Merle's songs hers, even brushing up the sixties anthems "The Fighting Side of Me" and "Okie from Muskogee." She does a great take on "Daddy Frank the Guitar Man" and "It's Not Love." Overall, if you love Merle Haggard, then you'll certainly like this. As Merle is one of my favorites, I can't find anything to fault here. It's a loving tribute to one of the legends, sung by someone who ought to be a legend herself.
Release Date: July 22, 2008 - Label: AH-HA
Track List:
- Working Girl Blues
- Bottle Let Me Down
- It's Not Love
- Today I Started Loving You Again
- If We're Not Back In Love By Monday
- Daddy Frank The Guitar Man
- You Take Me For Granted
- Fightin' Side of Me
- Mama's Hungry Eyes
- Someday When Things Are Good
- If We Make It Through December
- Okie From Muskogee
- Everybody's Had The Blues/Tryin Not To Love You/Someday We'll Look Back

The last week in Las Vegas was held "The Consumer Electronics Show", the largest world exhibition of electronic gadgets, where they presented several thousand products. Among them, 12 have attracted particular attention.
1. Maingear Spark
Gaming computers are usually large and coarse, only good to hide under the desk. Maingear Spark weighs less than 500 grams, and 12 inches in diagonal. Inside has a powerful graphics chip from AMD and dual storage, HDD/SSD.
The computer system was designed to run on SteamOS, from Valve, but can also run with Windows.
2. Lenovo Horizon 2 Tabletop PC
Horizon 2 is like a breath of fresh air for the personal computer market, which is in decline. 27-inch screen can be placed horizontally, turning into a mass entertainment for the whole family.
Innovative technology allows you instantly download photos from a smartphone, simply place the handset on its surface.
3. Intel RealSense 3-D Camera
Intel introduced a camera that uses infrared waves and color translation technology to understand the scene in front of it, causing where people or objects are. Camera opens new horizons for interface detection of movement and games that augment reality.
The device is small enough to be placed over a laptop and will be released in 2014.
4. PlayStation Now
Are you tired of going to a store to buy you a game, or expect to download from the Internet after you paid?
Sony released Playstation Now streaming that allows you to play the latest versions of already purchased games or rental of other games for a while.
5. Myris
I know the iris scanning authentication always seemed complicated. Myris is a device that wants to get rid of this shortcoming.
The device performs a short recording of the eyeball, puts you to connect to various services, then connects automatically every time you scan your eye. Price? Only $300.
6. LG G Flex
G Flex is among the few who were able to use the device in an ingenious ability to curve OLED screens.
Subtle curvature of the screen stops part of the rays of light which distorts the image and is able to dissipate reflections, showing a much clearer picture.
7. Parrot MiniDrone
It is the smaller version of another drone, AR.Drone, which can be controlled with a tablet, can shoot at 720p and can transmit real-time images to the pilot. In addition, the Parrot, can walk through vertical walls.
8. Celestron Cosmos 90GT WiFi
This is the first telescope which can be controlled by Wi-Fi, with a phone or a tablet. Upon connection, the telescope can be turned to any celestial attraction at the touch of a screen.
9. Scanadu Scout
Do you remember the StarTrek tricorder? Scanadu is its grandfather. The device can measure pulse, temperature and blood tension of a person without touching the patient. The device is awaiting approval by the United States for drugs.
10. WowWee MiP
WowWee robot is of 20 centimeters, which balances itself on two wheels. It can be controlled by gestures, using a mobile phone or can be left to walk independently.
In addition, manufacturers say WowWee can dance.
11. Audi Sport Quattro Laserlight
Audi has implemented a system of laser light on the prototype. While regular headlights have an operating range of 400 meters, the new laser system reaches 800 meters, increasing road safety.
12. Navia Induct
Navia is the first fully independent electric vehicle that is available in America. It can be used for small-scale transport, at airports, on golf courses or universities. Suffice to climb, choose a destination from the touch screen and Navia goes to destination, with a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

|Iran assistant coach Namazi resigns
TEHRAN – Omid Namazi has stepped down from his role as assistant coach of the Iranian national football team on Friday.
He resigned from the post to spend more time with his family.
"I quit my job for family reasons. I couldn't continue with the national team. I'm sorry to leave Iran football team. Every coach dreams of sitting on the bench at the World Cup but at the moment I'd rather be with my children than the national team," Namazi said.
The Iranian-American Namazi was appointed as Carlos Queiroz's in 2011.
Last week, Antonio Simoes also parted company with Iran football team due to personal problems.
Mehdi Mohammad Nabi, general secretary of Iran Football Federation, said Iran has negotiated with two Brazilian coaches and a coach from Argentina to join the national team.

BRUCE Willis is preparing to take Apple to court over who owns his huge digital music collection after he dies.
The Die Hard actor, 57, wants to leave the haul to his daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.
But under iTunes' current terms and conditions, customers essentially only 'borrow' tracks rather than owning them outright.
So any music library amassed like that would be worthless when the owner dies.
Willis has asked advisers to set up a trust that holds his downloads, which reportedly include classics from the Beatles to Led Zeppelin, to get around this rule.
