10 Celebrities Who Battle Depression
Ellen DeGeneres The media frenzy caused by Ellen coming out in 1997 caused her to be mired in depression for three years. The controversy also reportedly put pressure on her relationship with then-girlfriend, Anne Heche, as well as contributed to the cancellation of her sitcom, Ellen.Rebounding with a vengeance, the talk show queen, now 52, currently is enjoying the success of a lifetime and is happily married to her longtime girlfriend, Portia de Rossi.
Halle Berry Youd think with titles like Academy Award Winner, Model and Beauty Queen it would be hard to get down on yourself. The Monsters Ball star went as far as attempting suicide after her failed marriages. On the horrific incident, and journey back, Halle, who is 44, says, I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother finding me. She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. My sense of worth was so low. I had to reprogram myself to see the good in me. Because someone didnt love me didnt mean I was unlovable. I promised myself I would never be a coward again.
Barbara Bush
Attributing it to the hormonal changes of menopause, the former First Lady, now 85, revealed that in the mid-70s she was so stricken with depression, she feared she might intentionally end her life by crashing her car.
Jim Carrey Rumored to be one of the reasons behind his split with Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey, 48, has battled depression on and off for years.
Lady Gaga Arguably the most famous woman in the world right now, Stephani Lady Gaga Germanotta is the latest celeb to cop to bouts of serious melancholy. The singer told OK! UK that she experiences loneliness, being on the road. She continued, I have a chronic sadness that recurs. The lowest point was in Australia in May. I was overwhelmingly sad, and I didnt know why, because I had all these things to be happy about.
Sheryl Crow
The Grammy winner has credited a strict fitness and meditation routine as her depression antidote. Currently going through her happiest years, the singer, who is 48, has come a long way since her Prozac days.
Lorraine Bracco
Talk about role reversal. Known for playing Tony Sopranos psychotherapist on The Sopranos, Lorraine Bracco, 53, suffered spurts of depression herself. The actress reportedly went through a time of feeling joyless, but in 2005, after successfully treating the problem with anti-depressants, she agreed to be the spokesperson for the drug Zoloft.
Billy Joel After battling depression for years, the famous singer attempted suicide by drinking furniture polish in 1970. The words on the note he left became the words to the hit, Tomorrow is Today, and he even jokes about the experience now. Now 61, hes said: I drank furniture polish. It looked tastier than bleach.
Ashley Judd This year, in life imitating art, Ashley Judd, 42, played a woman racked with depression in the movie, Helen. Nervous that the role would cause her to slip back into the disease, Judd had the script sent to her clinicians, who gave her the okay.Currently enjoying the sunnier side of life, Judd is a spokesperson against clinical depression.
Emma Thompson Last month, the Oscar-winning actress, 51, admit to suffering the blues now and again. She stated: I suffer from occasional mild depression, which I think is a very common thing -- it's fantastically common in my country and probably in yours, too -- and it's a very much hidden thing people don't talk about. I think it should be discussed."She plans on taking a sabbatical next year to spend more time with her family.

Backpacker Magazine – September 2012
Explore Albuquerque's backyard mountain range.
Hullo I hike a lot of mountains and I hav hip issues, u can do anything if u follow ur dreams
I wrote about the La Luz trail in a previous blog--but I would like to thank Backpacker for the information I found on the web site about the La Luz the night before I went up the trail. I am scanning the latest issue to find a trail near me in Florida or maybe Georgia.
I hiked the La Luz trail in mid September 2012. I hiked up to the Crest trail and ascended it to the crest. It was a week day and I saw maybe a dozen people on the trail. I was overwhelmed by the beauty. Four different growth zones offer great diversity in scenery. Plenty of scenic views. Must see cliffs. Steep and rugged the last two miles--but worth every step you take. Remember when you get tired; it is no sin to sit down and enjoy the view of which there is plenty. If you are ever in Albuquerque get an early start and you want regret it. I am really glad I took the La Luz it took me to the top and back in a day. You can ride the tram down--but you will miss the beauty of the cliffs as the evening sun sets and brings out their beautiful colors. I am glad I didn't ride the tram down. It will be one of my most memorable hikes. I am planning to visit Albuquerque again next year and hopefully I will have enough time to hike the crest trail.

So now in addition to HEC-RAS, I'm installing ArcGIS and HEC-GeoRAS. Because if ever there was a program cobbled together from decades of DOS command lines even more than HEC-RAS, it would be ArcGIS… should be fun…
Filed under at work, mumblegrumble
3 responses to "Wheeee…"
Ah, Help Function, my old nemesis. We meet again.
Rather fond of DOS commands myself. Bare bones cryptic computing. Limited, but what it does, it does well. I have a number of batch files I wrote recently to create differential backups of terabytes of data, daily. xcopy is your friend.
Ah but you see, this is nothing so mundane as a pure command line. No, this is where someone came along and tried to shoehorn a GUI over the top of a command line, leaving you with lots and lots of little pop up boxes that do all sorts of things… but nothing clearly.

By CLARK MASON
Big crowds for summer night concerts on Windsor's Town Green haven't translated to more customers for adjacent restaurants, and the Town Council wants to help.
Council members on Wednesday discussed ways to increase patronage for surrounding business, including possibly closing another street to cars to allow local restaurants to set up food booths.
"Restaurants could come out on McClelland (Drive) and have a street presence," suggested Councilwoman Debora Fudge, who said other local businesses might also participate.
Fudge and fellow council members spent more than two hours reviewing a list of more than a dozen recommendations that came out of two previous public meetings. The council solicited opinions on the summer series that ranges from concerts, to kids' movies, to Shakespeare on the Green.
The council reached consensus on adding more portable toilets, continuing to allow dogs on a leash and increasing security to ensure concertgoers abide by chair height limitations.
The most contentious issue came from some local restaurants that have complained their business actually dropped on Thursdays during the concerts because the simultaneous farmers market has brought in out-of-town food vendors.
None of the Windsor restaurateurs appeared at Wednesday's council meeting. Town officials said they may have been placated knowing that they will be part of a subcommittee to investigate and recommend ways to increase patronage during the summer night events.
Some of the ideas include having a "shout out" during band breaks to let the audience know about specials and discounts, although council members said that may not be enough.
"Talking heads won't necessarily do anything. People will ignore it," said Councilman Sam Salmon, who added "during the concerts there's no one going to go to the business to any great degree."
But overall, officials said the summer entertainment that just ended was a success.
"People were happy enjoying concerts. They were downright bubbly," said Mayor Steve Allen.
"Last year was just phenomenal. It's the safest and happiest people have been," said Glenda Castelli, manager of the Certified Farmers Market. Her organization is a partner in the summer series and sponsors some concerts.
Windsor, which has completed 11 seasons of summer events on the Town Green, describes it as the town's "signature attraction."
Windsor draws some of the biggest crowds in Sonoma County among cities that stage free concerts and events throughout the summer.
Approximately 7,500 to 8,000 people flocked to the largest of the 2011 concerts that included bands such as It's a Beautiful Day, Tommy Castro and Wonderbread Five.
Theater on the Green produced a total of six performances over two weekends, with an average of 300 people per show.
Most of the costs of staging the Thursday night events are offset by almost $57,000 in sponsorship money and another $13,700 of in-kind services.
The Windsor City Council should setup a soup kitchen at the concerts for the homeless, poor and unemployed if they really care about feeding people who attend the concerts.
They have had their socialist claws in Windsor for so long they want everyone to participate equally. This is certainly one way to make sure to each according to her needs approach works in Windsor.
They determine the needs and they determine how much each need gets. It a perfect solution to an imperfect Windsor world.
Kay — I agree with your first two paragraphs, not your second two. Maybe you haven't been to a Windsor Town Green event. People set up with virtual banquet tables at these events. LOTS of food and beverage is enjoyed at these events. Most of it is bought from Windsor merchants.
As I said below, just because the Town Green restaurants don't offer what people want to enjoy doesn't mean we should force people not to enjoy what they want.
Windsor Town Green is and has been a bankrupt scheme from the start.
Some think a train will help.
The developers walk away with millions, and we ( the taxpayers) end up holding the tab, whether through redevelopment or bankruptcy.
Hello Smartgrowth, every project has gone bankrupt in this county. Really, name me one smartgrowth developer that hasn't declared bankruptcy after reaping millions, name one.
And this is what the SMART Train espouses. Vibrant "Town Greens " — go figure.
This Smartgrowth redevelopment project is unsustainable because smartgrowth and redevelopment are both failed models that leverage future property taxes to pay for fat subsidies that already have been put into the pockets of the developers. These developers then move onto the next town to pick the taxpayer's pockets.
The ground floor retail spaces are too small, too expensive, don't have enough parking and generally can't compete with older style retail properties in the surrounding areas. Having outside vendors coming in that compete with these businesses makes it even worse. Many businesses have come and left since the creation of this fake mainstreet development.
People come to these free concerts bringing in their own food and wine instead of patronizing these struggling new businesses. The only vendors that should be allowed on the green should be the tax paying business owners surrounding the green.
If the City of Windsor cares one bit about the businesses, they will not allow people to bring in food from other places. After all, the events are free and they should spend some money.
Once you discover what's really goin' on, business freindly ideas
(from ICLEI cronies) get on you nerves. Like a bully acting like your freind in front of parents, then busting your nose and taking your lunch money a half hour later. It's condescending-to me anyway.
For example; the whole downtown is a Redevelopment area. It's mathematiclly IMPOSSIBLE to grow the free market economy as such.
Break our legs, then try to look like heros for selling us crutches.
The council has had there hand in running the downtown from the beginning. The Homeowners of the condos whine everytime a new business whats to open. The homeowners stopped Starbucks from opening early and make Patterson close at midnight everyday. The council has protected us against the businesses that bring people downtown. Tat parlors,smoke shops,and offices are not permitted uses in our downtown. Look at how the city leaders treat this area and how it is becoming a ghost town. Deb stop telling us how to live and what is good for us! We will figure it out!
The real problem here is a restaurant owner looks out his window at 7000 people having fun eating and drinking and he isn't part of the party. So he blames the party because he is the only one not having fun.
But just because the restaurants on the Town Green are not making out from the concerts doesn't mean no one in Windsor is. The fact is, a lot do! Like, try to find a box of sushi or chicken strips in the deli case at Raley's or Safeway at 5:00 on Thursday!
When I go to the Green, I take food I bought in Windsor, maybe from Subway, Round Table, or sometimes we'll grab something at the concert from one of the local fundraising booths. For me it is a simple choice between a $5 foot-long and a decent bottle of wine, or a $12 hamburger at Kin and $5 beer. The choice is obvious, Kin's hamburger isn't worth the price, neither is the beer. So when the Town Green restaurants say money isn't spent for food and drink in Windsor and/or directly benefiting Windsor, that simply isn't true.
Their problem is they have 7000 hungry and thirsty customers miraculously show up just outside their door every week, and they don't have a product to sell. Maybe they'll catch on eventually: If you don't have a product people want then don't expect them to come knocking down your door to do business.
The headline would be far more appropriate if it read:
"Windsor Looks For Ways To Increase Its Tax Revenue"
The existing headline makes it, falsely, appear as if the town government was just trying to be helpful.
Truth hurts.
Maybe if the restaurants in Windsor served better food at a more reasonable price, they would have more customers.
Having a fine dining experience in Disneyland is not my idea of a good meal or a good time.
Windsor restaurants need to wake up to what and where they are. They are in a little town where lots of families live. It is not San Francisco with fine dining and great service. That's why a coffee shop makes money there and the fancy places go out of business.
Could the restaurants offer good food cooked to order from fresh local sourced ingredients at an affordable price? It's been my experience that restaurants with good food will always have customers. I'm sure everyone here knows a hole in a terrible location that has great food and you keep going there regardless of the location. Right?
All the Windsor restaurants need to watch any episode of Kitchen Nightmares, because the bad ones all seem to have the same exact problems:
The are re-heating frozen food. Their menu is over-complicated. They don't do anything to distinguish their restaurant from every other in a dense restaurant market. And the number one problem is bad food or high prices.
Our local politicians can't solve this problem any more than they have solved any of the others. Just make it easy to open and operate and stop taxing them out of existence. I still think of that Pizza parlor in Rohnert Park that had to get a loan from the city to pay his sewer connection fee.
How about Windsor eliminating as much red tape, fees, taxes, permits as possible? These businesses probably are regulated and taxed out of business because they have to pass so many costs on to the customer. Windsor needs to think long term. You get nothing from a failed business. So lay off. Problem solved.
Who wants to sit on a lawn eating cold overpriced food from a street vendor using plastic forks and plastic plates?
Another stupid idea from Ms. Fudge. When I attend one of these events with my family I want to enjoy the music and not sit next to someone slurping down a cool plate of beans and rice.
If the Windsor city council seriously wants to help restaurants in Windsor, they need to do something about bringing more people downtown. The place is a ghost town with too many closed businesses right now.
A decent grocery store would be a good start. A great pizza palor would be another addition.
I am sure street food vendors selling bad food is not the answer. It is a much bigger and more profound problem.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Damir Doma's capelike jackets and voluminous pants have attracted a zealous following of free-spirited men who refuse to be poured into skinny jeans. So when the Croatia-born, Germany-raised menswear designer announced he was launching a women's collection for Fall, curiosity reached a fever pitch. Who is the Doma woman and will she, too, reject the lean and narrow? On the whole, she did. "I'm a special case," explained the soft-spoken designer. "I like sensitive men, but I always think of women as strong, proud, and structured." (It could be because Doma's mother is herself a designer with her own factory, where his collection is produced.) His debut women's show last night brought the fashion crowd all the way over to a high school library in Paris' academic Left Bank. The setting fit the look: black platform sandals worn with ankle socks, wire-rim spectacles, supersized sarouel pants, and cocoon coats. They were cut to flatter—if not always in the most expected ways. "I love beautiful arms and shoulders," Doma said, "but after the casting for this show, I found that a good knee is the hardest thing to find."
Fabrics with heavier texture as asks the season with an impressive fluidity. Beautiful shades of neutral colors that can live with all the accessories that allow our creativity.

The local historical museum has a collection of interesting old artefacts and costumes, although all displays are labelled in Finnish. Temporary exhibitions spice it up in summer. Entry is valid for the art museum (and vice versa) if you go on the same day. Across the border in Haparanda, the huge brick water tower built in 1919 is visible for miles around.

It's hard to believe that he's been gone a year. I've thought of him every day. I've missed him every day. I imagine that I'll go on thinking about him and missing him until I join him on the other side.
What is Death?
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without affect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.

When the New York Islanders meet the Maple Leafs in Toronto tonight, each team will be looking to shake funks where they've won just two of their last six, and each team will have built-in excuses...
Thomas Vanek is not back and Daniel Alfredsson is also out, but no one cares because this is the first game the Islanders and Red Wings will play since Jack Capuano punked Mike Babcock with a...
The most important thing about tonight: John Tavares is OK. Banged up, but fine. That may mean the already physical Los Angeles Kings target him even more, but a lineup without him would look...
Coach Jack Capuano announced what equates to a significant change: Kevin Poulin will start his second consecutive game.
The Isles and Canadiens -- each of whom expect far better of themselves -- are both 3-6-1 in their last 10. The Canadiens are winless in their last four, but had the decency not to lose all of...
Forget what the teams are doing, both the fanbases involved tonight will be on a ledge if their team loses this game.
Next up for the Islanders, in the first of a road back-to-back this weekend, are the Columbus Blue Jackets, yet another fumbling Metropolitan Division team looking for a favor.
It's been a long while since Aaron Ness made his nine-game NHL debut.
The Caps meet the Islanders for the first time under the new alignment, with transient-November second place in the Metro on the line, and Alexander Ovechkin expected back in the lineup.
The Islanders are playing the end of a back-to-back, as they and the Boston Bruins are expected to start their backup goalies Saturday at Nassau Coliseum.

Art of Inspiration
The titans of children's drawing chat about their work and the experiences that they've procured over the years.
Artist to Artist: illustrators explain art to children /
The arrival of this beautiful children's anthology —which will undoubtedly inspire many adults— is a truly fortunate moment. Pablo Picasso, the genius of modern painting, the Spanish master used to assert: "All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." This is an inexorable truth that many studies and scholars have corroborated; an example of this is the lucid imagination of Ken Robinson, who says all children are born geniuses, but the education system normalises them.
Artist to Artist: 23 Major Illustrators Talk to Children About Their Art, is an excellent excuse to bring children closer to the world of art in general, and in particular, to the fascinating world of book illustration. This incredible tradition has plagued the imagery of countless infants with the most fortunate daydreams, which develop into treasures as we move onto adult life. Some of the artists that expose their passion to children in the most playful and inspiring of manners are: Mitsumasa Anno, Quentin Blake, Ashley Bryan, Robert Sabuda y Matthew Reinhart, Maurice Sendak, Gennady Spirin, among many others.
The titans of illustrated stories are informally reaching out to children, showing them some of their early works, giving them technical advice and sharing their own story: how they began their adventure as artists and how young art enthusiasts can begin theirs. When creating our paths as artists, one of the most constant insecurities is wondering whether we're following the correct path, in this sense, observing our role model's work and the process they had to go through certainly increases our conviction, which unfolds as pure inspiration.
This children's literature masterpiece was edited by the Eric Carle, a renowned and successful artist known in the editorial world, delivers this tremendous achievement by making this anthology possible. We conclude with a couple of quotes from the book:
Maurice Sendak:
I was sickly as a child and gravitated to books and drawing. During my early teen years, I spent hundreds of hours at my window, sketching neighbourhood children at play. I sketched and listened, and those notebooks became the fertile field of my work later on. There is not a book I have written or a picture I have drawn that does not, in some way, owe them its existence.
Alice Provensen
When people look at my work, they often say, "Your picture is so good. I can't even draw a straight line." I think everyone can learn to draw. The important thing is to keep trying, keep drawing.Tagged: books, children's books, art, inspiration, artists

Blu ray vs. HD DVD
View Single Post

The HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray vs. Downloadable Content can be viewed many ways. HD-DVD has been superior to Blu-Ray up through Q4 '07. Even with BR's superior storage size, HD was producing better picture and sound quality. Now that Sony has ironed out a lot of the kinks, they are finally producing a quality product. That said, I still believe HD is a better choice for consumers, but it all boils down to studio support.
Back when VHS and Beta were going at it, the major advantage VHS had was the support of the porn industry. Today, that isn't as much an issue because of the internet. HD needed more studio support, but Sony had their claws so deep in the studios that BR had that nothing was going to sway that. WB saw that and decided to make a financial choice to force a format to win out. Otherwise if the war goes on too long, consumers will have nothing to adopt to and a new technology will develope. An obvious next step would be holographic memory, which is still in development.
However, in regards to downloadable content, I think we are many years away from that. A lot of people think the industry will switch to downloadable rentals, which it may, but movies will still need to be available in physical format...for so many reasons. First off, HD movies...even compressed ones...are around 7+Gb large. Hard drives haven't come down enough in price to make that a feasable option for most people. Secondly, if you want to take your movie with you, to a friends house or in your portable DVD player, DC wouldn't let you at this point. Plus broadband saturation is at around 50-60%, which isn't enough make an industry wide change. Also, look at the popularity of TV season DVDs. Several years ago, no one would have thought that buying shows you already can watch for free would be as popular as it is today. Lastly you would have to have something to download it to, PC, DVR, 360, PS3, etc. and not everyone does. Everyone has a DVD player and it's easy to run to the store and buy your favorite movie. The average consumer can do it...even grandma and grandpa.
Until the technology generation becomes the majority of the population, things will stay the way they are. Which means hard copies of movies and TV shows.

26Frances Bean Cobain and Her Boyfriend Don't Have the Crazy, Unstable Relationship That Her Parents Did, Whee!
I'll tell you, if you told me this in my waking hours early, early this morning, I would have laughed you out of my bedroom (and what the hell are you doing in my bedroom anyway?). I would have said, "Yeah, sure. And Beyonce Knowles has pregnancy stretch marks, haw haw guffaw." But folks, if I was so quick to negate the headline and go solely by my knee-jerk reaction, I'd be wrong. Wrong and surprised, which is where I'm at right about now, and those two things aren't great things to fathom so early in the day.
This is what Isaiah Silva, Frances Bean Cobain's fiancee, had to say to People magazine:
"We're each other's everything," Silva, 26, tells PEOPLE about Cobain, 19, and himself. "We're homebodies. We don't go out to clubs so you won't find us stumbling out of them with Lindsay Lohan. We stay at home, read books and watch Arrested Development."
HELL YES on the Lindsay Lohan slam. Too cool. Here's one of Isaiah's bandmates, Mark Kuchel, also saying that the couple is totally introverted:
"They're quiet and shy. They're a great couple. Frances comes to most of our shows that she can get into."
Isaiah also claims that he loves how strong of a woman the nineteen-year-old Frances is:
"I love strong, opinionated, intelligent women," says Silva, who spent the first 18 years of his life in the Fullerton Assembly of God group, a faction focused on strict Christian values and the second coming of Christ. "Women in the [group] were totally oppressed, but I am very pro-woman."
So, OK. Some might say a little unhealthy, maybe, yes. Honestly, "we're each other's everything"? God. I remember being like that when I was nineteen with this douchebag that I should never even considered looking at, let alone briefly living with. Hell's bells. But staying home, reading books, watching Arrested Development? Alright. Redemption. So maybe they're not a codependent virus that is slowly self-destructing and ending in a murder-suicide. That's really great. That's already a step above what happened with Courtney and Kurt, except for that Courtney didn't have the courtesy to off herself after she disposed of Kurt.
I like these two, I honestly do. I think they both seem introspective and intelligent and they definitely make an attractive couple. Even though they're still kind of young-ish, I wish them all the best. And as long as mom doesn't weave herself into their lives like a coiled-up serpent with acid-coated skin, they'll probably pan out alright. Isn't that the best thing we can really pray for when it comes to something that ultimately emerged from Courtney Love's vagina and is living its own life?

5This is the Guy Frances Bean Cobain Might be Marrying
Look familiar to any of you guys? His name is Isaiah Silva, and he's the lead singer of a band (naturally) called The Rambles. And apparently, he and Frances Bean are engaged to be married.
But that's not why I asked you if this guy looks familiar – I'd never heard of him, either. This is why:
So, let's recap: Frances Bean Cobain, who's hot, is engaged to Isaiah Silva, who looks just like her late dad. Does anyone else find that as eerie as I do?

LEMMON, S.D. (AP) - The U.S. Forest Service has scheduled a public meeting to talk about a grassland fire in the western Dakotas that spread during a prescribed burn.
The meeting is set for 4 p.m. Saturday at the North Dakota State University research center in Hettinger, N.D.
Forest Service officials say they will provide details about the fire and information for processing claims.
The prescribed fire escaped containment lines southeast of Hettinger, N.D., on Wednesday and moved into South Dakota's Perkins County. It has covered 22 square miles.
Officials say full containment was expected by Friday evening.

Got commercial organizers that fail to
fit? Make your own. By Conrad Hopkins
Store-bought drawer organizers hardly ever fit my
drawers. They're not the same size as my drawers,
nor are they as deep. So, they don't actually organize
all that well.
But it's possible to make a custom drawer organizer for any drawer in your kitchen, workshop, or
desk. Here's how to do it easily and inexpensively.
1. Measure the height, width, and depth of your
drawer. My drawer is 19¾" long, 10¼" wide, and
2¾" deep.
Then draw a picture and decide how you want
to divide it up (Figure A). Now measure each compartment, taking into account the thickness of the
material being used as dividers.
2. Write up a materials list. I used 1" clear acrylic
(plexiglass) because it looks clean and is washable
126 Make: Volume 19
1" acrylic sheet (plexiglass) or other material
to use as the body, such as wood
Glue and applicator I used TAP Acrylic Cement
( tapplastics.com). You could also use Weld-On
#3 or #4.
Weights I used some metal bars, but canned food,
small free weights, or even a container filled with
sand or water would work.
(as opposed to wood). My measurements came out
as follows. The 8 smaller pieces are for the 2 end
pieces and 6 interior dividers.

Pa. cops spar with licensed concealed carrier
Police confiscated guns and permits from the man after locking horns with him two weekends in a row
By Stephanie Farr
PHILADELPHIA — John Solomon thinks the police are messing with him. The police think the same thing about John Solomon.
On two afternoons in a row last week, Solomon, 24, was arrested after hanging out at a North Philadelphia bus stop, and each time, the cops confiscated from him a legally owned gun and a separate license to carry a gun, the licensed security guard said yesterday.

Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech), 2010 - $47,500
Velovations is a group of roughly thirty Michigan Tech undergraduates, graduates, researchers, and faculty performing testing, research, and development for the bicycle industry. In cooperation with Michigan Tech's Mechanical Engineering Peace Corps Masters International (PCMI) program, and led by returned Peace Corps volunteers who have worked in Africa, Velovations has identified a set of bicycle product opportunities particular to East Africa. Over the next three years, Velovations will work with Cycling out of Poverty, the African Bicycle Network and others (including a designer who worked on bikes for the Tour de France and Beijing Olympics) to develop products that meet East African needs and provide opportunities for local production.
Per their market research, the students will specifically look into modifying, accessorizing, or servicing the ubiquitous Tata bike, a brand of bicycle that is omnipresent in Africa. Key issues they identified were large load carrying, a lack of female riders, men being uncomfortable using women's bikes (conversion kits), and flat tires (the solution is an affordable solid tire).
NCIIA funding will allow for increased product development capabilities, enable travel to East Africa to solidify relationships and find new development and production partners.
University of Denver, 2010 - $50,000
The lack of hygienic sanitation facilities in slums is a primary cause of 1.5 million child deaths each year. Improved sanitation facilities could reduce diarrheal deaths in young children by more than a third. The Kibera Working Group (KWG), a collaboration of University of Denver faculty and graduate students, Nairobi-based water and sanitation company Ecotact, and the Rotary Clubs of Denver Southeast and Langata-Nairobi is working toward the goal of improved sanitation facilities in the Kibera slum of Nairobi.
KWG's three main objectives are: 1) assist residents of Kibera in improving health conditions by improving the technological innovations and associated processes in the water and sanitation systems; 2) ascertain best practices in facility development and operations in order to create sustainable facilities; and 3) evaluate and refine its model. KWG is nearly finished developing its proposed model; next the model framework will be tested on existing facilities and a full-time project manager in Kenya will be enrolled to oversee the implementation and operation.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010 - $49,900
Nearly three billion people worldwide lack access to adequate sanitation, and in slums, where over one billion live, high population densities combined with a lack of infrastructure and resources makes the problem particularly acute.
Over the past year, the Sustainable Sanitation in Urban Slums team at MIT, now Sanergy, designed, constructed and implemented a pilot modular low-cost sanitation facility customized for the residents of two slums in Nairobi, Kenya. Two low-cost technologies are the centerpiece: a (<$200) prefabricated ferrocement toilet (versus $25,000 solutions at present) and a bicycle-powered exhaustion pump for pit latrines. These technologies are combined with a holistic deployment strategy: a micro-franchised network of sanitation centers, low-cost waste collection infrastructure, and a centralized processing facility that converts waste into biogas, electricity, and fertilizer that is sold commercially.
The team is partnered with Carolina for Kibera, a US NGO set up specifically in the Kibera slum of Nairobi and Ikotoilet, an Acumen Fund grantee. The NCIIA grant will enable the team to improve the sanitation facility design, establish a fabrication workshop in Nairobi, train local workers, and expand the pilot to validate the program and product.
Updates: As of October 2012, the team continues to reach towards hygienic, accessible, affordable sanitation for everyone in Nairobi's urban slums. In the last month, they have: sold 103 Fresh Life Toilets and franchised to 50 entrepreneurs; created 122 jobs; removed 170 metric tons of waste from the community; and served 1,000,000 paying customers with hygienic sanitation.
Pennsylvania State University, 2006 - $47,900
With this grant, the Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship (HESE) service learning program at PSU will work to improve rural Kenyans' economic well-being by addressing challenges of low agricultural productivity of Kenyan farmers due to their use of simple instruments and tools. HESE service learning program-enrolled PSU students will work with students from the University of Nairobi and Moi University to design a variety of agricultural devices (both manual and powered) to significantly improve productivity of the farmers. It is expected that, as farmers' incomes increase through the use of the improved manual devices, they will be able to purchase an engine and appropriate attachments powered by the engine, thus increasing productivity even further. Examples of potential devices include water pumps, electric generators, posho mills, decorticators, tillers, and power tools.
Summer 2009 update: By June 2008 this team designed a water well utility rig and rock crusher. By October 2008 they had designed and constructed a utility cart and sisal decorticator. In July 2009, after travel and consultation with local businesses and entrepreneurs, university partners and local communities, the team decided to focus all of its efforts on the development of a water well drilling rig and related business opportunities. During the Fall 2009 semester design teams at Moi University, Jomo Kenyatta University and Pennsylvania State University will design and test the drilling apparatus with business plan development to occur during Spring 2010. Field testing will be undertaken in May 2010.
Pennsylvania State University, 2005 - $12,000
As part of the Engineers for a Sustainable World program at PSU, this course involved students in creating a hybrid solar/wind power system in Ngegu village in the Division of Rangwe, Kenya, with particular emphasis on water pumps to provide clean water. Currently, residents have to travel a few kilometers to retrieve water that is often polluted, or, worse, has dried up, leading to waterborne disease and high mortality rates. The team also designed a sisal decorticator--a machine that more efficiently harvests the fibers of the sisal plant. Currently these fibers are harvested using a painstakingly slow process that requires entire families to be engaged in harvesting throughout the day.
This project was worked on by four institutions at once: a PSU team of engineering students designed a windmill in conjunction with an engineering team at the University of Nairobi, who initiated the project; a team of business students enrolled in the Introduction to Entrepreneurship course at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) developed a business model for generating funds to support the project; students from all three institutions formed an entrepreneurship team that continued to engage in fundraising and developed a business model; and the Kochia Development Group, an organization of Kenyan businessmen and women who actively seek projects to improve rural Kenya, provided mentoring and feedback to ensure the project is socially and economically feasible.
The Penn State Agricultural Utility System team, a Sustainable Vision grantee, recently returned from another trip to Kenya where they are developing agricultural tools such as a water well drilling rig and a sisal decorticator.
Here's the drill in action.

Pennsylvania State University, 2008 - $46,850
Mashavu enables medical professionals around the world to connect with patients in the developing world using modern technology and communications infrastructure. The goal is to bring basic medical care to people in developing countries, using laptops, cell phones, innovative software and simple medical devices.
Trained operators at Mashavu stations in developing communities collect essential medical information including weight, body temperature, lung capacity, blood pressure, photographs, stethoscope rhythms, and basic hygiene and nutrition information for each patient on a regular basis. Web servers aggregate this information from various Mashavu stations over a cell-phone link and provide it on a web-based portal. Medical professionals can view the patient's information and respond to the patient and the nearest doctor(s) with their recommendations. Validation efforts have shown that numerous entities are willing to purchase Mashavu stations. They can charge customers a small fee, thereby making Mashavu economically sustainable and creating an additional revenue stream.

Based on the game of a same name, BloodRayne is the third video game movie by Uwe Boll, released in 2005, starring Kristanna Loken, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen, and Ben Kingsley.A pseudo-Prequel to the games, the film centers around the Dhampyr Rayne seeking to bring down her vampire father, Kagan. Instead of centering around killing Nazis, the first film is set around the Middle Ages and features a more laid back Rayne compared to her video game counterpart. But afterall, Uwe Boll made this film and his faithfulness to source material has always been lacking.Bloodrayne pretty much became the first franchise of films by Uwe Boll, as there are two sequels, BloodRayne II: Deliverance and BloodRayne: The Third Reich , and a fourth film is in development, rumored to be set in modern times.

This tower is located about half way between the Black Dike col and Irene's Arete. It has a long southern wall with two established quality routes and and few other routes of low 5th class on the Tower. The rock on the tower is of good quality, especially the two southern routes. The two southern routes are known as the Corkscrew and FNG.
Getting There
The tower is best reached heading up the climbers trail from the Caves camp. Hike up the main trail headed towards the Lower Saddle. Cross the creek that is the outlet of the Teepe Glacier and take the trail that leads up towards the glacier and the JHMG camp. Walk almost half way up to the glacier and the base of the tower will be on your right. Cross the creek again and boulder hop to the base of the tower. Expect 20-25 minutes from the caves camp. This will put you to the base of the two quality routes that lead to the top of the watchtower.

Franklin — A ravine full of trash that had been dumped there since 1957 has been cleaned up.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management says an inspector who visited the site with a Johnson County Health Department officer last year found the ravine filled with household trash, old appliances, tires and other debris. The woman who lived there told officials she couldn't afford to clean up the site, which has a ditch that carries a large amount of water when it rains.
The environmental agency says waste disposal company Republic Services offered to clean up the site in the county south of Indianapolis. Work crews finished cleaning up the site last month after using a backhoe to fill 30 roll-off trash containers.

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – While one squad of athletes competes in the Elite Men's World Championships in Kazakhstan, a second U.S. team will box in neighboring Russia at the SportAccord World Combat Games. A mixed squad of nine athletes will represent the United States in the multi-sport event in St. Petersburg, Russia, October 18-26. Over 1300 athletes from across the world are scheduled to participate in 15 different martial and combat sports in the second edition of the event.
The three female members of the U.S. squad possess the majority of the team's international experience with 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Marlen Esparza (Houston, Texas) and 2012 Olympian Queen Underwood (Seattle, Wash.) both competing in their second international event of the year. Esparza and Underwood have been training full-time at the Olympic Training Center with USA Boxing International Teaching Coach Pedro Roque as members of USA Boxing's resident program. Middleweight Franchon Crews (Baltimore, Md.) is also no stranger to the international arena and she returns to global competition at the World Combat Games.
The six male members of the U.S. squad all claimed silver medals at the 2013 USA Boxing National Championships in April to earn their berths in the international tournament. Light flyweight Leopoldo Martinez (Laredo, Texas), bantamweight Stephen Fulton Jr. (Philadelphia, Pa.), lightweight Cresencio Ramos (San Antonio, Texas), light welterweight Nicholas Jefferson (Tacoma, Wash.), welterweight Tony Losey (Wichita, Kansas), and heavyweight Joshua Temple (St. Louis, Mo.) will compete alongside the experienced trio of women in Russia.
The 15 Martial Arts and Combat Sports included in the World Combat Games are aikido, boxing, fencing, judo, jujitsu, karate, kendo, kickboxing, muaythai, sambo, Ssavate, sumo, taekwondo, wrestling, and wushu. The SportAccord World Combat Games promote the values of self-control, determination and technical mastery, integrating elements of culture, wisdom and friendship to create an elite sports competition in the art of combat.
In addition to the eight days of tournament competition, the Combat Games will feature a cultural program reflecting the ancient traditions of martial arts as well as the social and cultural values of the 15 sports and the event as a whole. Topics will deal with the cultural dimensions of the martial arts and their social value and contribution to society.
The United States team will travel to Russia on October 16, arriving in St. Petersburg prior to the opening ceremony on October 18. The three days of boxing competition will begin with quarterfinal round competition on October 20. Semifinal round action will take place on October 22 and the championship bouts will be contested on October 24 prior to the United States team returning home on October 25.
In the first year following the 2012 Olympic Games, USA Boxing's athletes have already won 75 medals in international action and the nine boxers competing in St. Petersburg plan to add to that total at the World Combat Games.
Bienvendio "Benny" Roman (Brooklyn, N.Y.), Andrews Soto (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Daniel Soto (Kissimmee, Fla.) will serve as the United States coaches in Russia with Dr. Kenneth Kurt (Franksville, Wis.) joining the squad as the Team Physician.
