Hydropower generator Puget Sound Energy recently completed construction of a new fish hatchery and an advanced upstream trap-and-haul facility on the North Cascades' Baker River, projects expected to further increase the river's once struggling salmon populations.
The new facilities follow PSE's 2007- 2008 construction of an innovative "floating surface collector" (or FSC) on Baker Lake that lures and safely captures juvenile salmon for downstream transport around PSE's two Baker River hydroelectric dams. The 1,000-ton, semi-submerged FSC set new records in 2009 and 2010 for outmigration of juvenile salmon. This spring, an all-time high of more than 520,000 fingerling salmon, mostly sockeye, were collected by the FSC and transported downstream.
"Technology can't replace the natural habitat our salmon need to thrive, but technology can give Mother Nature a helping hand," said Paul Wiegand, senior vice president of Power Generation at PSE. "We're thrilled by the positive difference our investments are making for salmon in the Baker River. The future is looking much brighter for these magnificent fish."
Since the 1920s, annual adult sockeye returns in the Baker River have averaged about 3,500. In the early 1980s, however, the returns plummeted, falling to just 99 fish in 1985. Fisheries managers feared the river's sockeye population might perish. In response, PSE, resource agencies and Northwest Indian tribes launched a cooperative fish-recovery effort that, by 2003, produced a record Baker-sockeye return of 20,236 fish.
Government fisheries agencies are predicting that PSE's latest investments in fish recovery will, in coming years, produce returns substantially above the 2003 record.
PSE's most recent fish-enhancement efforts are directed under the 50-year federal operating license the utility received in 2008 for its two-dam Baker River Hydroelectric Project. Each fisheries project was developed through collaborative discussions between PSE, government resource agencies, local tribes and other parties.
In addition to building a new, larger fish hatchery on the Baker River, PSE is upgrading its nearby sockeye "spawning beach." The man-made, 20-year-old beach - essentially a series of large, gravel-bottom pools with spring-fed water circulating through them - provides a controlled, predator-free environment for adult sockeye to lay and fertilize their eggs.
The new hatchery and renovated spawning beach are designed to produce five times more fish eggs and hatched fry - up to 11 million, initially - than PSE's original, 1970s-era fish-culturing facility could generate.
Because PSE's two Baker River dams are too high for conventional fish ladders, PSE has long trapped migrating adult salmon and hauled them upstream past the dams in specially built, water-filled tanker trucks.
PSE's new adult-fish trap, a half-mile downstream from Lower Baker Dam, contains fish-friendly design features and automated systems not available in the just-replaced, 1958-vintage trap. The enhancements include higher flows of water into the trap's riverbank entrance for better fish attraction; an automated system for segregating captured fish by species, with six separate holding pools; a water-filled "elevator" - 60 feet tall and 7 feet in diameter - with a movable floor for lifting trapped fish to the elevated holding ponds; and a sampling station, outfitted with electronic data-management equipment, for collecting biological information about captured fish.
"Hydroelectric dams give our region an abundance of clean, low-cost power, but they also have unavoidable impacts on migratory fish," Wiegand said. "On the Baker River, we're not only addressing those impacts, but we're taking steps, with others, to try building sockeye runs far beyond their historic average. It's exciting for PSE to be part of this effort."
In 2013 PSE plans to begin operating another floating surface collector, similar to the Baker Lake FSC, in the Lake Shannon reservoir behind Lower Baker Dam. In addition, the utility is building a second Lower Baker Dam powerhouse to enhance utility control of outflows from the dam for improved downstream flows for fish.
In other news, the Edison Electric Institute has named Portland General Electric a 2010 Edison Award winner for its fish intake and bypass structure at Pelton Round Butte hydro project and dam. The announcement was made at EEI's Annual Convention and Expo in Florida.
In an agreement with Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon, PGE in 2009 completed a fish intake and bypass project at its 465-MW Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project dam. For the first time in 40 years, Chinook, sockeye and steelhead salmon will be able to complete their life cycles as the juvenile fish are passed downstream to the Deschutes River basin. PGE co-owns the facility with the tribes.

3 Random Thoughts
Let Tebow Run
We all know the state of the union....so what. Let Tim run for crying out loud. He is big and strong and can punish the defense a little...at least. I think we need to draft some speedsters. Not that Decker and Royal are slow but seriously we need some guys to bring the threat of a down field pass. I think Elway will get Tim right this off-season.
Uniform Choices
I am a very superstitious Bronco fan. In the past we have worn the blue shirt and pant combo twice at the most. And never back to back home games....and never three times in one season. There is a chance I could be off slightly but I watch every game and have for years and we have worn the blue pants and blue shirts at home three times this season! Over Use of the Blue Pants is Bad Luck.
Can We Please Try a Reverse This Season?? I can't speak to 100% certainty but have we ran a reverse all year? I recall Royal getting a sweep or two but no legitimate reverses....this is a basic way to maybe get a big play occasionally.
No earth shattering motivational blogging for me this time, just three random thoughts. I hope we play well tomorrow! To win would be SWEET but I want us to play well and give Tebow an offseason to prepare as he does. GO BRONCOS!!!!!!

Whether you are a baseball fan or not, the Rockford Aviators could use your help.
The team is in need of host families for players during the upcoming season. Several of the athletes on the team are from out of town and without a place to stay. Although host families get free season tickets, the players also benefit.
"They get some home-cooked meals, some of our host family moms are retired, so they get a lot of pampering," Rockford Aviators Host Family Coordinator Sally Hoesel said. "You know, they have a home to live in as opposed to a hotel or apartment where they have three and four guys to a place."

After the bombing in Boston and the poison-laced letters being sent to lawmakers, it seems like domestic terrorism is a growing threat. Former FBI agent, Cecil Moses agrees.
"They are terrorist acts for sure," Moses said. "We have a sufficient number of disgruntled and deranged people who are a major threat, I call them home grown terrorist. It is probably somebody that has already been here maybe somebody who went to our schools and is educated in our country."
Moses suspects a disgruntled employee or someone who is upset with the government for sending the tainted mail to Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker and to President Obama. As for Boston's bombing, Moses has a different profile in mind.
"You're probably going to be looking at a totally different kind of individual or individuals possibly Middle Eastern or a sleeper cell," he said.
An arrest has already been made for the ricin-laced letters. As far as Boston, Moses said with all the technology will probably play a big part in finding who planted the bomb. Moses said the public should not to be afraid.
"I don't think that people need to walk around in fear, that's the whole purpose of the terrorist to try to instill fear but still be vigilant and be on your guard without being in hysterics."

The Spurs are now facing elimination. As a Spurs fan, it hurts. During the regular season and the first and second round of the playoffs, the Spurs are the genius of the NBA. They are nearly unbeatable because they play as the game was supposed to be played. Naismith invented the game and he called it TEAM GAME. The Spurs are not relying on individual talent even though they have many talented individuals to win a game. The Spurs are the only team in the NBA this season that play team basketball. There are times that they rely on the skill and talent of an individual to win them a game but they do it as a team. They ask a player to defend, to pass and to shoot with the assurance that they are there in the end no matter what. In Spurs basketball world, every player whether your a veteran or a novice, experienced or a rookie to do your part in the team.
But what happens if a player does not play in the standard required to him? What happens when a player cannot shoot, cannot defend and can not pass? What happens when one player starts to commit turn overs after turn overs? The answer is simple. You lost 3 straight. You get what I mean? What I mean is if a single player does not do what is required to him, the team suffers. The game is designed to be played 5 on 5 right? Yes, not 3 on 5 0r 2 on 5. Im not blaming a particular player here.
Since game 3, the Spurs played 3 on 5 basketball. You ask me where are the 2? They vanished. So when will the Spurs be able to play 5 on 5 basketball? We will know the answer the day after tomorrow. But as of now, I have to gulp this can of beer because I cannot wait the day after tomorrow thinking that a 3 on 5 game is not basketball. Its massacre. And that hurts.

Okay, okay, okay - I know it's the easy thing to fire the coach. But hear me out on this more reasoned approach.
Wilson has had the team for two full seasons plus this season so far. They are 29th in penalty kill and 21st in PP. Granted, he wasn't dealt the best cards and he may have had success elsewhere but he is having no success with this team. It's not so bad to get fired - one of the biggest reasons coaches get fired is because they can't get traded. For the same reasons some good players have to go for the sake of team chemistry - so too must the coach.
The players don't play for Wilson any more. You can see it in their faces and the mounting frustration. They used to care when Wilson called them out but now they don't - see Phil Kessel's minor outburst when asked how he felt about getting benched last week. The players are playing the way they want to because they know whatever they do - Wilson will criticize them anyway ( why would he criticize them after the comeback from 4-1 against Boston last week?!! Let them have one celebratory night ! ) so Wilson's ability to motivate and guide these players is lost; the Leafs are a team at sea without a rudder.
It's in situations like this that leaders emerge - we all know Dion Phaneuf is the Captain but can he really LEAD this team? The current void in coaching leadership is an excellent time for Phaneuf to really make these Leafs HIS team. Lets hope that this is the rock bottom and a new chemistry is formed in this current morass.
My analysis of 'blue and white disease' is this: players come here and hit the ice amid massive press coverage heralding them as the next saviour - which forces the player to reach beyond his grasp; try too hard and spin his wheels - Kessel obviously is the best example of this but did the press need to welcome Luca Caputi and Jeff Finger as if Charlie Conacher rose from the grave? The Leafs have always been the team the press makes them to be and the players have never had to deal with reality because Management tries a short term fix. Past management has tried to trade its way out of bad performance but as we all know, this can't happen in the current NHL. All the players are spinning out at the same time now - Phaneuf, Mike Komisarek, Kessel - but as Dave Nonis told them last week - the only answer is in this room.
It won't be easy but a new team will emerge in the coming months, a team coming from the absolute bottom. Count on a trade or two - this season is gone and we will not make the playoffs. But I believe Burke's firm hand will guide them going forward. Forget about the Kessel miscalculation. History is history. Let's move forward.
The Leafs absolutely cannot do any worse with ANY other coach. Get rid of Wilson over the Christmas break and let Acton ride out the season. This will lift a gigantic weight off the team and give them a spark and hope in 2011.
And give the fans hope too.

Jurors in Zimmerman trial ask about manslaughterBy TAMARA LUSH
and MIKE SCHNEIDER
The Associated Press | July 14,2013AP Photo
George Zimmerman, center, talks with his attorneys during jury deliberations Saturday in his trial in Sanford, Fla.SANFORD, Fla. Jurors have found George Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Upon hearing the verdict after 10 p.m. Saturday, Judge Debra Nelson told Zimmerman he was free to go.
The six-member, all-woman jury deliberated for more than 15 hours over two days before reaching their decision Saturday night.
They had been given the chance to convict Zimmerman of manslaughter but did not do so, despite asking for a clarification of the charge earlier in the evening. That had been a possible indication they were considering the lesser charge instead of second-degree murder.
They also asked for dinner Saturday night, an apparent sign they planned to deliberate for at least an hour or more beyond the eight hours they already had put in during their second day.
May we please have clarification on the instructions regarding manslaughter, Nelson read from the six-member, all-woman jurys note before a courtroom that had rapidly filled up with lawyers, reporters and members of the families of Martin and Zimmerman.
As jurors awaited an answer, Nelson talked to lawyers at the bench and after a half-hour recess, they agreed to send a note back asking the jurors to elaborate.
The court cant engage in general discussion but may be able to address a specific question regarding clarification of the instructions regarding manslaughter, the note said. If you have a specific question, please submit it.
Zimmerman, 29, was charged with second-degree murder but jurors also had the options of finding him guilty of manslaughter or not guilty. He had pleaded not guilty, claiming he shot the 17-year-old Martin in self-defense.
To win a manslaughter conviction, prosecutors had to show only that Zimmerman killed without lawful justification. To win a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors had to convince jurors Zimmerman acted with ill will, hatred or spite toward Martin.
Zimmerman faced a maximum prison sentence of life for second-degree murder and 30 years if convicted of manslaughter, due to extra sentencing guidelines for committing a crime with a gun.
Outside lawyers with no connection to the case said the jurys question could was an indication that it has taken second-degree murder off the table.
It does sound like at this point, theyre considering between manslaughter and not guilty, said Blaine McChesney, an Orlando defense attorney and former prosecutor with no connection to the case, a couple of hours before the verdict.
Added Orlando defense attorney David Hill: Why would they bother to ask for clarification unless they were thinking about manslaughter?
To convict Zimmermann of manslaughter, jurors had to believe Zimmerman intentionally committed an act that caused Martins death, according to the judges instructions. He cant be guilty of manslaughter merely by committing a negligent act or if the killing was excusable, the instructions said.
The jury started deliberating Friday afternoon. At the time jurors asked their question about manslaughter Saturday, they had been deliberating for a total of 11½ hours over two days. On Friday, they asked their first question: a request for a list of all the evidence.
Jurors were being sequestered, and their identities are kept anonymous they are identified only by number.
As jurors deliberated for a second day, there was little understanding between two camps assembled to support Martin and Zimmerman outside the Seminole County Courthouse.
He deserves some respect and appreciation, Casey David Kole Sr., 66, shouted about the former neighborhood watch leader. Its a tragedy.
Patricia Dalton, 60, yelled back: Its a tragedy that could have been avoided!
Dalton, like most of the 100 or so people at the suburban Orlando courthouse, says shes there in support of the family of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old black teen from Miami who Zimmerman fatally shot last year.
The supporters stayed peaceful for most of the day until in the afternoon when sheriffs deputies had to separate a Zimmerman supporter from a pro-Martin demonstrator after a heated exchange. There was no physical contact made and no one was arrested.
The atmosphere quickly cooled down. Two Orlando sisters, dressed in colorful African-print clothing and walking on stilts, sang Lean on Me with the crowd as a man strummed a banjo and people waved signs.
Were just here for peace and love, said stilt walker Bambi Loketo.
Prosecutors and Trayvon Martins family say Zimmerman profiled Martin because of the teens race. Those allegations, and a 44-day delay before police arrested Zimmerman, sparked nationwide protests involving leading national civil rights leaders and spurred emotional debates about gun control, self-defense laws, race, and equal justice under the law.
In Saturdays strong Florida sun, some people at the courthouse wore hoodies, as Martin had when he died. One woman lay in the grass, her arms spread, in a re-creation of Martins death. Those in the smaller pro-Zimmerman camp held small signs, saying things like We love you George and George got hit you must acquit.
Joseph Uy of Longwood was among an even smaller group: the few who said they had no opinion on whether Zimmerman was guilty. He said he came because he was just curious.
Im neutral, he said, while cradling his three tiny Chihuahuas in his arms.
By mid-afternoon, people rallied in the heat and chanted slogans as a looming thundercloud threatened a downpour.
Justice for Trayvon, some shouted. Others yelled, Convict George Zimmerman.
Police and civic leaders have pleaded for calm in Sanford and across the country after the verdict.
There is no party in this case who wants to see any violence, Seminole County Sheriff Don Eslinger said. We have an expectation upon this announcement that our community will continue to act peacefully.
In New York on Saturday, the Rev. Al Sharpton said that no matter the verdict, any demonstrations that follow it must be peaceful.
We do not want to smear Trayvon Martins name with violence, the civil rights leader said. He is a victim of violence.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson had a similar message. He tweeted that people should avoid violence because it only leads to more tragedies.
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Martins family, said the parents are emotional but doing as well as expected as they await a verdict.
(Jurors) staying out longer and considering the evidence and testimony is a good thing for us arriving at a just verdict, Crump said.
On Saturday morning, Martins mother, Sybrina Fulton, shared on Twitter what she called her favorite Bible verse: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.MORE IN Wire NewsROTHERHAM, England Rotherham is a working-class town that is remarkable in its ordinariness a...

Bargain hunters descend as revamped charity shop re-opens in Stroud
12:00pm Saturday 23rd February 2013 in News By Kate Wilson, Reporter
SHOPPERS flocked to the re-opening of Age UK charity shop in Stroud high street on Friday morning.
Refurbishment work has been going on since the store closed at the end of January, giving manager Tracey Hayden and her team of volunteers only three weeks to replenish their stock and put everything back in place for the grand opening.
"We have had a lot of positive feedback from customers already who are really excited about the stores new look and stock that will be available," said Tracey.
"To keep the shop at its best however we really do need people to keep bringing in donations to us."
Opening the store Roger Sanders, executive member for regeneration for Stroud District Council, said: "Charity shops are an important part of Stroud because they support a worthy cause whilst enabling less fortunate people affordability and giving others a chance to recycle clothes rather than sending them to the tip."

Comments about Musician's Gear Electric 9 Nickel Plated Steel Guitar Strings:
pretty much all commercially made guitar strings are for all intents the same, wound on machines invented by one company. these strings are great. they have a high nickel content so they have great tone and last a long time, and they're only 2 bux, and as good as any other brand i've used including stupidly expensive ones. stop paying for a name... these strings rock. get yourself a box full for your gig bag, and spend your money on more gear!!
Comments about Musician's Gear Electric 9 Nickel Plated Steel Guitar Strings:
Yeah the price is attractive for sure and these strings sound OK. The only problem is they turn your fingertips black and not just on the first use. If you can deal with that then you can def save some money. I use them when stringing a new guitar and eventually switch to a better set.
Comments about Musician's Gear Electric 9 Nickel Plated Steel Guitar Strings:
these are great for the price if your in need of a set of low cost strings,they have a decent tone not to bright.down fall they feel very light,and the sets i bought left a nasty silver residue on my fingers.

Sharing is Hard, but Super Important [Geek Dad Life Lessons]
Being a "Geek Dad" is a lot of fun, but it also has its fair share of challenges. My oldest son (aka "The Boy") is three and a half, and beginning to reach the age where he enjoys a lot of the things that I find fun (although in a different way, of course). He loves superheroes, and so do I. I love Lego, and so does he. I like playing video games, and he likes them too. While you would think that having a geek-in-the-making is awesome, it also comes with a few unique challenges and lessons that I have had to face. The joy of nerdy parenting, I have found, is in embracing the experience and learning from it. NOTE: Spoilers for The Lego Movie ahead. If you haven't seen it by now, however, you probably won't care about the spoiler.

CATEGORIES ReviewsIt's swords, sandals, gods and monsters in the 3D remake of the 1981 classic ,Clash of the Titans. But is it any good - or is it just a load of Kraken?
Find out what we think after the jump... Clash of the Titans(12A)
Starring: Sam Worthington, Mads Mikkelson, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton
Director: Louis Leterrier
Running time: 106 minutes
Trailer: Watch it here
In a nutshell: Perseus, son of Zeus, half man, half God and in possession of the only pair of hair clippers in ancient Greece, must go on a quest to destroy the Kraken, a fearsome beast controlled by Hades the god of the underworld who plans to take power from his brother Zeus. Along the way he will fight giant scorpions, cross the river styx and probably wish he'd never left home.
What's good about it? To be honest, not a huge deal. Sam Worthington looks the part but lacks the charm of a leading man. The sets and production design (by Martin Laing, reunited with Worthington after Terminator Salvation) are impressive and Mads Mikkelsen provides an assuring and imposing physical presence that he could have done with as a Bond Villain. Nicholas Hoult of TV's Skins fame is effective, as are the supporting band of warriors that accompany Perseus on his quest.
What's not so good? The dialogue is a procession of exposition and though the plot can be forgiven for verging on the ridiculous, based as it is on the ancient Greek myths, there are lapses in logic and some plot holes that still grate (so the Kraken is a fearsome sea creature powerful enough to scare the gods, maybe not a good idea to be living by the ocean then?). It was originally filmed in 2D but hurriedly converted into 3D by the studio, rather than having been filmed specifically for the format as Avatar was (although the 2D option is still available). The resulting effect is distracting, badly realised and adds nothing to the film. The battle scenes suffer from 'Troy' syndrome and many minutes are spent watching unnamed characters fleeing a computerised monster. By the time we reach the finale, as Perseus rides his Pegasus through the Kraken's flying tentacles, you realise you don't care if he gets swiped off his flying horse or not.
Verdict: An uneven story, some dodgy effects (Medusa, in particular) and the bad 3D ruin what could have been an enjoyable action adventure. For a battle between Gods and men it sure is forgettable.
Rating: 6/10

Years ago, when I used to go to Mitsuwa before they renovated, the ramen wasn't very good. It was decent enough to stave off hunger before diving into the Japaense snack aisle, and later perusing the extensive sake section, but nothing comparable to Ippudo in Manhattan. In recent years, however, things have changed across the river. The ramen at Santouka, the ramen stall in the food court at Mitsuwa, is actually good, excellent even, and I'd say rivaling some of the better ramen shops in New York City.
Spice fiends usually order the Spicy Miso Ramen ($8.49; pictured above), curly ramen noodles in a spicy, pork-based miso broth with wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, scallions, and chashu. The fiery chili oil on top may look scary, but it's perfectly manageable with a medium, dry heat. It's a fine bowl of ramen except for the pork which could be more tender.
It's for this reason, I always order the Tokusen Toroniku Shio Ramen (Melty Roasted Pork Salt Ramen / Choice Pork Ramen) ($11.49) which comes with yes, "melty roasted pork," or in other words, thin slices of tender, fatty pork jowl that practically melt in your mouth, especially after being warmed in the hot pork broth on the side. (The pork, along with wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, scallions, umeboshi, and narutomaki, is served separately from the soup and noodles in the Tokusen Toriniku Ramen.) It's incredibly swoon-worthy and also very similar to the roast pork at Ippudo when they're not off their game (on my last visit to Ippudo, their chasu was oddly tough).
As for the soup and noodles, it's also delicious. The curly noodles are firm to the bite, and the soup is full-bodied and practically creamy to the taste. In fact, because the soup is so rich, it's quite filling, so if you want a smaller portion, you can ask for a small for a dollar less.
Concerned you might be cheated out of the melty pork if you do so? No fear, the amount of pork is about the same. The picture above is a plate of pork that came with a small.
What does mean to you when you don't have a car? Well, if you can't finagle a ride, don't forget there's a shuttle bus service from Port Authority to Mitsuwa. It costs $6 round-trip which when you factor in doesn't make Santouka any more cost-effective than Ippudo, but it makes for a fun and tasty half-day trip, even if you're only going as far as Jersey.

This is a nice banana bread recipe, but with the topping...well now it has the WOW factor. They're sweet, so be warned. :) This makes 2 loaves or 2 x 12 muffin pans, or one of each. If you cook one of each make sure the muffins are baked for approximately 35 minutes and the loaf is baked for approximately 50 minutes. The topping needs 15-20 minutes within those baking times mentioned. Sorry if it's confusing.

Towson, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - David Walker knocked down a shot from beyond the arc with three seconds remaining to lift the Northeastern Huskies to a 57-54 victory over the Towson Tigers in a Colonial Athletic Association thriller at SECU Arena.
Scott Eatherton led Northeastern (6-14, 3-3 CAA) with 19 points and nine rebounds while Zach Stahl tallied 10 points to go along with nine boards. Walker finished with eight points, five rebounds and four steals as the Huskies earned their second win in three outings.
Marcus Damas led the Tigers (12-7, 3-1) with 21 points and Rafriel Guthrie gave the team a spark off the bench with 13 points. Jerrelle Benimon went just 2-of-4 from the floor to net six points, but also pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds. The loss was Towson's first in conference play of the 2013-14 season.
Northeastern got off to a great start and led, 15-7, by the 11:08 mark of the first period. The Huskies knocked down 56.5 percent of their field goal tries including 6-of-8 from 3-point range in the first half en route to a 40-21 lead at the intermission. Towson was limited to just 26.9 percent efficiency from the floor in the opening 20 minutes.
The Tigers improved to hit on 38.1 percent of their shots from the field and also converted 13-of-23 tries at the free-throw line in the second stanza. Towson trailed for the entire period before Four McGlynn made three consecutive foul shots with six seconds left in regulation to tie the score at 54. Northeastern shot just 21.7 percent from the field and made good on only 1-of-8 tries from 3-point range after halftime.
Both sides finished the contest with 36 total rebounds.

I'm re-announcing http://ewerl.com here with some new features added. I put together a couple screen shots of the functionality over at the website's "about" page, but I'll outline the highlights here:
1. User accounts – a lot of people wanted to be able to log in and keep track of their Ewerls. This is done.
2. Stats tracking – the previous version had this, and it's been split in to two levels, a free and a paid-for version. The free version is probably fine for most people – it'll show you the number of times your Ewerl has been used. The pay version ($9.95 per year with a 3 day free trial) will show you time/date usage, IP, user agent, referring URLs, and a city/state/location when possible.
3. WordPress plugin – You can now have your WordPress posts convert your links to Ewerls automatically.
Upcoming features:
1. RSS – planning to bring back some level of RSS functionality again. Moving to this v2 meant I had to put RSS on the back burner for now. Let me know if you want it.
2. Email – daily email usage reports. I'd started this on v1, but had to shelve it to get the rest of this out.
3. Backwards compatibility for the previous API calls. There weren't too many people using them yet, so this was something else that fell lower in priority. If you want/need that back, let me know.
Go try it out and let me know what you think!
I'm currently working on a book for web freelancers, covering everything you need to know to get started or just get better. Want to stay updated? Sign up for my mailing list to get updates when the book is ready to be released!

Unfortunately ewerl is now being used in some ecard spam emails to redirect the unwary into downloading a Trojan. If you drop ewerl into Google the second hit is to the zteOSk ewerl which links to a file called card-iHpujt.exe. Very worryingly only 11/36 scanners on virustotal.com picked up the file that I downloaded yesterday. The ewerl link is still active, but the file appears to have been removed from the freewebtown site.
http://sn.vc allow us to preview the original url so should Ewerl. It make us feel safe!

And finally, the also-rans in the 2013-14 Western Conference – a select club to which we will soon no longer belong! Hallelujah!
11. L.A. Lakers
This will be fun. The Lakers won't be tanking, but sometimes it'll be hard to know for sure.
Steve Nash should never have left Phoenix's training staff (who I will describe only as "shady") and whatever regimens they're prescribing down in the desert for aging athletes. Kobe's own aging self is coming off a very worrisome injury. Pau Gasol might be the bright light on this team… and when he last had to carry a team, in his prime, his Grizzlies never did go far, did they?
I will take pure pleasure in this Lakers season. What can I say, I still blame Kobe for breaking Ricky Rubio's knee (the video footage be damned). When the Lakers finish in the top 3 of next year's draft lottery, reload with their massive cap space in free agency, and dominate yet again, I'll enjoy thinking back to their 2013-14 debacle.
Bonus Prediction: The Lakers will be quite mediocre, but will still get a few dozen national TV games and infinite press coverage. Bold prediction, right?
12. Utah Jazz
I don't think the Utah Jazz will intentionally tank during the upcoming season. They've simply decided to play the young guys and see who sticks. A few guys on that roster have cornerstone potential (think "Blueprint"). This year you hope at least one of them – maybe Derrick Favors or Enes Kanter – will transform potential into production, dominating a few games while playing consistently well. If so, the Jazz will win a few more games than you might expect.
Bonus Prediction: Neither Favors nor Kanter reach that point this year, or any. Instead, they both pan out as Luol Deng-level players.
13. Dallas Mavericks
Poor Dirk Nowitzki. He took a pay cut so the team could pay for championship-level help. But they failed. Now Dirk is stuck between his own creeping age on one side and a mediocre supporting cast on the other. Those other guys might literally have to support him when his legs collapse in revolt and despair halfway through the season.
Bonus Prediction: Dirk hires a German lab to clone himself, and makes the clone play Mavs games for him while he pursues other interests.
14. Sacramento Kings
To expect anything out of the Kings this upcoming season is to invite disappointment into your home, offer it a big glass of lemonade, and ask it to stay for a while. Sacramento's franchise has been in flux (i.e., eff-ed by its owners) for several years. They have little in the way of foundational talent. Sacramento's fans will be happy just to still have a team this year, and I truly hope that's enough for them.
Bonus Prediction: DeMarcus Cousins follows Baron Davis's example and admits that he, too, was abducted by aliens. Management instantly suspends him for 3 games for behavior detrimental to the team.
15. Phoenix Suns
Maybe we can just not talk about the Suns for right now? I think they'd probably appreciate that. Most of their games will be unwatchable, and some of them downright frightening. Yikes.
Instead, let's imagine for a moment that the Suns, and not the Wolves, had landed Corey Brewer this week. That would have been really weird, right? What would the reaction have been around here? Double yikes.
Bonus Prediction: The Phoenix Suns gorilla draws more cheers from the home crowd in 2013-14 than the Phoenix Suns players.

Less than a year after allegations of improper benefits related to the recruitment of former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton surfaced, the NCAA has closed the book on the investigation without levying major violations. The NCAA investigated claims involving Newton's recruitment, as well as pay-for-play allegations that came to light during an HBO Real Sports show.
After doing its due diligence, and interview a wide array of people related to the case, the NCAA said the evidence didn't meet the burden of proof necessary for major violations
After conducting more than 80 interviews, the NCAA has concluded its investigation into Auburn University. The NCAA enforcement staff is committed to a fair and thorough investigative process. As such, any allegations of major rules violations must meet a burden of proof, which is a higher standard than rampant public speculation online and in the media. The allegations must be based on credible and persuasive information and includes a good-faith belief that the Committee on Infractions could make a finding. As with any case, should the enforcement staff become aware of additional credible information, it will review the information to determine whether further investigation is warranted.
So that's it. Just a few months after Gene Chizik publicly quizzed Julie Latch Roe about whether or not the investigation was over, and was hit with a salty "you'll know when we're finished," Auburn walks away unharmed.

In general, we all know there's little to love about the Big East. They're a basketball conference masquerading as a football conference. They'll have one good team a year (Rutgers 2006. Cincinnati 2009) but generally they play lackluster football. They're not even tied to a BCS Bowl! They're the redheaded stepchild of the BCS family.
But... is there something that we can learn from them? More after the jump.
Recently I came across this snippet in a Big East blog (I was bored, okay??)
Nick Carparelli, an associate commissioner for the Big East, is in charge of the league's scheduling and he "backloads" the league schedule with the schools he thinks will be the better teams each year so they play later in the year with more at stake. All he did this year was schedule the No. 1 vs. 2 teams (Cincinnati vs. Pitt) No. 3 vs. 4 (West Virginia vs. Rutgers) and No. 5 vs. 6 (UConn vs. USF) to play this week, while ending the regular season of the league's worst two teams (Syracuse and Louisville) last week. Brilliant.
This could certainly be an interesting idea for the Pac-10.
1) It'd be more exciting for fans. College football is already plenty entertaining. High scores, double-overtime nailbiters, douchebag what's-your-deal-ing coaches - the whole shebang. But what would make it even better? More drama. (Trust me, I'm a professional.) Ideally, the season needs to build to a climax as it wears on - this is part of the reason why people love conference championship games so much - one final battle, for all the marbles. But CCG's alone do not drama make. Look at the SEC, for example.
From day one, you already know how the SEC's entire season's gonna turn out:
Florida is gonna crush. Yawn.
"Did I just score our 10th or 11th touchdown of the game? I lost count."
Alabama is gonna crush. Yawn.
via a323.yahoofs.com
"I'm taking this metaphor literally."
Lane Kiffin's ego is gonna write checks his body can't cash. Yawn.
via bhnotes.files.wordpress.com
"For the last time, I was NOT cloned from Andy Richter's stem cells. Also, our 2010 squad will be greater than the 1972 Miami Dolphins."
There's no suspense! There's no DRAMA. Now, the Pac-10 is already plenty exciting year-to-year since we're such a strong conference overall. But imagine if we could get the OOC/Wazzu/ASU/etc. games out of the way early. We could avoid the potential letdown of ending the year on a anticlimactic note. Imagine the buildup of playing OSU and Oregon and USC to wind down the season! (Rivalry games would still be the last games of the season, of course). Playing big games early is okay, but having them all steadily build up to a giant end-of-the-year adrenaline rush? It could be awesome.
2) It'd be good for ratings. This is the big potential gain. As we know, no one east of the Mississippi watches Pac-10 football. Hell, no one east of Colorado watches Pac-10 football. At the beginning of the season, it's all OOC games anyway, so no big loss. But all the conference games usually get lost in the shuffle, so we still lose out. But if we can stuff all the high-profile games at the end of the season when national interest is at a fever pitch, we just might be able to steal a bigger piece of the TV pie, rather than having people choose syndicated episodes of Everyone Hates Twist over the Cal/U-Dub game, like they will this Saturday. We might just be able to get them to give a damn.
As much as I hate to admit it, this is one thing we could stand to learn from East Coast Football.

This beautiful pitch is located just left of Fascist Drill and shares the same first 25'. Climb up the little left facing corner past the bush, and stem up into the roof on your left. Desperate underclinging leads out under the roof, with small tips pods, and smaller feet. When the roof ends, turn the corner into the beautiful hanging dihedral (11c) and climb up it for a couple body lengths. Then step right up onto the face of Fascist Drill and climb it past a few bolts to an anchor. This pitch was first sent by Bernard with two fixed pins. It now sports a shady looking knifeblade and a wire.
Mostly smallish stuff, RPs, small stoppers and little cams to 2". There is a dicey looking pin and a fixed wire in the business area.

It's Official… Kourtney & Kim Take New York
It's official! Kourtney and I have moved to NYC to film our brand new show for E! Kourtney and Kim Take New York!!!!
I could not be more excited to spend the next couple of months in one of my favorite cities! When we decided to open a new DASH store in the city, Kourt and I felt that someone needed to be here to help out with the store and make sure everything was running smoothly. After talking with my family, I decided that I would join Kourtney, Scott and Mason in NYC.
Not only do I get to spend some quality time with Kourt, I also get to hang out with Masey as much as I want. I can't imagine being away from him for so long! We'll be filming the show over the next couple of months and capturing all the fun and drama that will no doubt unfold along the way. Get ready NYC… Kim and Kourtney are in town!!!

4 Not-So-Romantic Valentines Gifts for Guys
January 25, 2011 | Posted By: Laura Pagles | Categorized in: Shopping, Gift Ideas
Raise your hand if you're Valentines shopping for a guy who actually cares if he's bestowed a romantic gift on Valentines Day. Thats what I thought.
Presenting a Valentines gift to a regular guy means more to you than him. So skip the biker Teddy bear sporting naughty love embroidery, or the boxers bursting with tired V-day hearts. Try a novel approach: things he needs or will actually like past the greeting card holiday.
Bonus idea: Valentine's Bye Day
Deliver his "Get Out of Valentine's Day Free" card weeks in advance and watch the relief wash over his face as he realizes he forgot Valentine's Day. No tricks here, ladies. Only give this gift if you truly mean it. No stomping around or inflicting the silent treatment come February 14.

I'm an awesome wife... And I can easily say the best gift to give most significant others are sports tickets... Usually I do cubs opening day... But this year it's the Illini/Michigan basketball game. Go Illini!

Great idea, savingsfanatic! Do you usually get to go along or does he take a man-date?

Tacloban City is devastated, the city is a horrid landscape of smashed buildings and completely defoliated trees, with widespread looting and unclaimed bodies decaying in the open air. The typhoon moved fast and didn't last long-- only a few hours-- but it struck the city with absolutely terrifying ferocity. At the height of the storm, as the wind rose to a scream, as windows exploded and as our solid-concrete downtown hotel trembled from the impact of flying debris, as pictures blew off the walls and as children became hysterical, a tremendous storm surge swept the entire downtown.

Fire officials in Rutherford County are investigating a fire that destroyed at Civil War era home late Saturday night.
The house on Sulphur Springs Road caught fire just before Midnight Saturday.
Owners of the home told Nashville's News 2 it served as a hospital during the Civil War.
History experts believe the house was built in the 1820s or 1830s.
The family that lived in the home was out of town when the fire started.
Neighbors say they heard a loud pop before seeing the sky turn red with flames.
Colleen Sweeton, who has lived across the street for about 17 years, says her family heard ammunition inside the house exploding from the heat.
"All the pine and the beautiful wood inside just went up like a match," Sweeton said.
The current owners have lived in the house for about four years.
Officials have not yet released the cause of the fire.

Every year or so I write a post like this (if you don't want to read this post, you can read this one or this one).
I made my way back to the gym on Monday, after about five months of absence. It felt good to be there. I took it pretty easy, upper body basics only, kind of like dipping my toes back in the water. Alan was with me, and we worked out together, until we got to our abdominal work, when he does his thing, and I, with a yoga challenge to complete, found a corner and did mine (more on that below).
We were at our snazzy La Quinta gym, which, while small, is clean, friendly, and only one mile from home. Oh, and only $50 a year. (While I titled that post "Bye Bye World Gym," I actually kept my membership, which will now come in handy for my yoga challenge. Between the two closest, I can find two yoga classes a day, at different times. Nice to have options.)
Here is where I justify my gym absence. I work at a gym. Two gyms actually, because in addition to my full time job as the fitness director at a country club, I have two long-term clients that I still see twice a week at their country club gym. I teach strength classes. I run, ride, practice yoga. So I am not dragging myself off the couch to get back to the gym. I just feel like I'm rounding out an already pretty decent fitness program/lifestyle. Plus, I know that if I go, Alan, who runs, rides, and swims already, will go with me and I am happy that he will be getting the strength training that he needs to be an even better athlete.
So, I'm glad to be back. Let's see if I can stick around this time so that in a year's time, I won't be writing this article all over again.
Yoga Challenge Update
I am in day five of my Yoga Challenge. So far, so good (as it should be only five days in!). I made it to a tough 90 minute vinyasa class at Yoga Central on day one. The next day, I did 30 minutes at home, using an audio from Yogadownload.com. I was a little tired and sore from the class the previous day, so I kept it shorter (and a little easier!).
On day three I tried to channel my exhibitionist side: we were at the gym so I found a corner, turned on my yoga audio and did 20 minutes of hardcore yoga. I know that most people don't pay any attention to what others are doing at the gym, but I still felt a little awkward. Oh well, I did it, enjoyed it, and may do it again.
Day four was a long one. After running in the morning, I went to work, then came home and did dinner prep, knowing that Alan and I were going to a scholarship awards ceremony at our high school (our running club gives a scholarship every year to two running athletes). Fortunately, we were first on the presentation agenda and were home by 7:10. Knowing that all the prep work was done for dinner, I took 20 minutes to do some sun salutations.
Today is day five, and it started off badly. I woke up about 1 am with another migraine, out of my medication, and struggled through the night. What is usually my workout time this morning was spent finally getting a little sleep. When I awoke, I felt better, but had to get ready and go to work (stopping to pick up my meds on the way). So it looks like it will be another short session at home after work again.
On the bright side, I did print out some yoga schedules, and between Yoga Central, World Gym, the classes we hold here at my fitness center, and classes that one of my instructors teaches elsewhere, I have a lot of choices. Not that I mind the home workouts. I just think that I get a better workout with someone to push me a bit (and who can check and correct my form when necessary).
Are you taking a challenge, yoga or otherwise? Tell me about it!

great song!ReplyDelete
i hear the supertones and am immediately taken back to 2001 when noah was 3, and he and i would blast "halleluja" from the c.d. player (remember c.d. players), and together we'd sing into wooden spoons and silly dance around the living room. good times.
Sounds pretty awesomE. Love the song!ReplyDelete
In love with the song...my daughter has asked me to buy the download when it comes out! :)ReplyDelete
Wow! I love it! The beat, the graphics, the message...just awesome!ReplyDelete
Great song!!! So glad they're back at it!!ReplyDelete
This would be great for our Youth Group!!ReplyDelete
That is fabulous!ReplyDelete
(Side note: I just found your blog today, via a search on Pinterest for "craft fair"- not sure why it linked to here, but whatever. I was reading along and noticed you're a believer- awesome! Then just now figured out that you're married to an OC Supertone! Way cool.)
I'm so glad they are making music again. I have so many memories of rocking out to the OC Suptertones!!!! LOVE them!ReplyDelete
I keep coming back to this post to listen, I just love this song makes me dance and praise god with all I hae! Tell your husband he is super awesome:)ReplyDelete
Ummm yaa it's totally rad, your husband is a supertone! Oh and it only took me like 2 years of reading your blog to figure that out, and it was because I was talking to my BFF about your blog a few weeks ago (yes, we were talking about your blog and how cute you are, and she was like, "you know her husband is a supertone?") Man, I knew he look familiar. The Supertones were my first concert, led me to Christian music, making good friends, staying a a right path with the Lord and ultimately meeting my husband. My husband and I still sing Supertones (every word) in the car on road trips. You can only imagine 2- 30 year olds, yeah...... Love your blog Joy, you are an inspiration regardless of who you are married toReplyDelete

It was killing season again, and in Colorado it might have been safer to romp through the woods in blaze orange than to stay near a hunting camp. A 16-year-old girl in the Uncompahgre National Forest hopped off her four-wheeler while unloading her rifle Oct. 21, only to shoot her father in the leg. He bled to death before help arrived. A week earlier, John Dotson was resting in his hunting camp in western Colorado when a bullet whizzed through a wooden fence post and lodged in his chest. He fired three shots in the air as a plea for help; no one answered in time to save him.
The most dangerous place to be during
hunting season is in or near a vehicle where people illegally carry
loaded guns, says Colorado Division of Wildlife spokesman Todd
Malmsbury. Some fatalities don't require guns, however. A hunter
near Gunnison, Colo., on Oct. 13, backed his Ford pickup over his
tent, killing a companion sleeping inside. The death continues to
be investigated.
Despite the grim stories, the
Colorado woods are getting safer. The average annual number of
hunting fatalities in Colorado has dropped from as many as 13 in
the 1960s to an average of 1.4 during the 1990s, says Malmsbury. He
attributes the drop to Colorado legislation that requires hunters
born after 1949 to take a hunter safety course before receiving a
Utah has seen only one fatality this
year and one horse killing. In Garfield County, Utah, a hunter
sneaked into the camp of two men who were stalking "his' elk, and
slashed the tires of their pickups. In retaliation, they shot his

Europe – Failure to implement AWD hurting the unemployed
Failure by many EU member states to implement the 2008 Agency Work Directive not only flouts EU regulation but is failing Europe's unemployed, who stand to benefit from the opening up of labour markets, according to Denis Pennel the Managing Director of Eurociett.
In an article for europolitics.info, Mr Pennel wrote: "As the Commission prepares to release its review of the application of the directive by member states, it needs to take a strong stand on the need for all markets to transpose all elements of the regulation".
"When policy makers rubber-stamped the directive, there was general consensus that its implementation would take a balanced approach by stimulating job creation while providing adequate protection for agency workers. However, transposition has been patchy and unbalanced, and unjustified restrictions on temporary agency work still exist in many markets."
"The directive aims to ensure that agency workers receive equal pay to permanent workers. The good news is that all member states have transposed this element or agreed terms for derogation with social partners in order to balance the interests of employers and workers."
"However, the legislation also requires the review and removal of unjustified restrictions, which stifle temporary work agencies and prevent them from creating jobs. Countries with unjustified restrictions, either in laws or collective labour agreements still in place, include Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. Examples include sectoral bans, quotas on the maximum number of workers, too short maximum length of assignments, or restrictions on the kinds of labour contracts that can be offered. The Commission must give more concrete guidance on assessing restrictions and prohibitions and its own EU expert group has provided some good starting points for clearer direction to member states. We need a level EU playing field for temporary agency work: the current situation creates legal insecurity for companies and hampers job creation."
"We have raised the issue with policy makers on many occasions, and our Swedish member, Bemanningsföretagen, has launched complaints to the Commission to challenge its government's interpretation of the directive as unjustified restrictions remain. Further complaints and/or legal cases are likely to follow and the Commission should reinforce the point on penalties and sanctions in cases of non-compliance."
"Today, well-functioning labour markets operate with many different forms of employment contract. France and Belgium have over 30, reflecting workers' growing demand for flexibility and work-life balance and the needs of business to access flexible labour solutions."
"Last year, the OECD 'Employment outlook 2013' began to include an employment protection legislation index. This confirmed that fixed-term contracts are subject to fewer restrictions than temporary agency work, with the result that they have exploded in recent decades, while temporary agency work, which can actually provide workers with a stepping stone to permanent work, lags behind due to stricter regulation. This exacerbates the segmented labour markets we see in countries like Spain, where some workers enjoy highly secure contracts at the expense of others, who have no security at all. These findings are also borne out in the European Commission's employment package, which acknowledges that efficient labour markets actually drive growth."
"There are 26 million people looking for work in the EU today, 5.5 million of them are under 25 years old. But there are also over two million unfilled vacancies and in order to match supply with demand in the workplace we need intermediaries with the expertise to find the right fit for job seekers and organisations. Agency work has a role to play and a clear advantage over fixed-term contracts."
"If governments want to stimulate growth and create jobs they must rebalance their regulation and fully transpose the Agency Work Directive. Failure to do so is denying work to Europe's unemployed and stalling the opportunity for more competitive and efficient European labour markets," Mr Pennel concluded.

WASHINGTON Ś President Barack Obama honored the Miami Heat for winning the 2012 NBA Championship title after falling short just a year before.
ōEverybody doing their part, is what finally put the Heat over the top,ö Obama said, as he welcomed the team to the White House Monday to celebrate their victory.
The Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games in the NBA Finals last June.
The president also recognized the franchiseÆs work off the court. He thanked them for supporting military service members at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Obama said one of the things heÆs proudest of is that many of the team membersŚ including LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane WadeŚ ōtake their roles as fathers seriously.ö
ōFor all the young men out there who are looking up to them all the time, for them to see somebody who cares about their kids and is there for them day in and day out, thatÆs a good message to send,ö Obama said.
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said the team hopefully will serve as an inspiration to the nation of what can be done ōwhen you come together and sacrifice your egos for a greater goalö and ōhard-hat work ethic.ö
James, who presented Obama with an autographed basketball, said the team including members that hail from Illinois, Texas, Michigan, Ohio and South Dakota were honored to be in the executive mansion.
ōWeÆre in the White House right now, which is like, like æmama I made it,Æö James said, as the audience laughed and cheered.
The crowd of well-wishers included actress Gabrielle Union, U.N. ambassador Susan Rice, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, and Congresswomen Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Frederica Wilson. The Heat last visited the White House after winning the 2006 title.

Let's face it: Flash is a mess. Hardly a week goes by without a new exploit and its performance problems are legion. Steve Jobs famously hated Flash and refused to allow its use in iOS. My Linux distribution strongly recommends against its use every time a new version of Flash is installed. In the meantime, HTML5 is poised to replace Flash.
Now Apple has pounded another nail into Flash's coffin. As of OS X 10.7.4, OS X will disable Flash unless you have the latest version installed. They could have just installed the latest version for you as they have in the past but apparently decided to give their users a nudge by making them consciously choose to install Flash.
I've long thought about disabling Flash but it always seemed to me that I'd miss out on too much content that I might want to see. Nonetheless, after the upgrade I didn't upgrade Flash and have been running Flash-free for the last few weeks. I have to say that not only have I not missed Flash, I've hardly noticed it's gone.
I'm interested in other people's experiences. I know many folks have stopped using Flash (whether or not they're OS X users) but I have no idea of how widespread this is. If you've stopped using Flash or are thinking about doing so, leave a comment with your thoughts. Likewise, if you've consciously decided to continue using Flash, leave a comment with your reasoning.
