A little help would be appreciated … I know there are more out there. Where are the best Christmas lights in Charlottesville?
View Best Christmas Lights in the Charlottesville area in a larger map
So far, here's the list:
- Agnese Street in Charlottesville
- Mountain View Street in Charlottesville
- Fairway Avenue in Charlottesville
- Elliot Avenue in Charlottesville
- Western Ridge neighborhood in Crozet
- Old Trail neighborhood in Crozet
- Preddy Creek neighborhood in Ruckersville
- Westhall neighborhood in Crozet
If you're interested, these are the some of the best places to get Christmas trees in the Charlottesville area, and this story explains and dispels some of the mythology around Dr. Seuss, the Grinch, Hooville and Charlottesville.
Update: This is a BatchGeo map that shows a lot locations for Christmas lights.
Update 18 December … a Gary Kriebel sent me the following map (his GPS cut out a little bit at the end) and this kml file (download it and open it in Google Earth) of his family's trip around Charlottesville on the Gingerbread Express, a tour put on by the Downtown Business Assocation. While it looks like the tour itself is over, you can take it yourself using the map below :
Update 20 December – I took a few photos, in part because I'm testing my new Nexus Galaxy phone.
And this is a map of these four locations, from Charlottesville to Ivy to Crozet.
Update 23 December 2011:
Donna sent in these pics (not the map … I'm having wordpress issues) –

Recipe by fayyr
"Homemade baking mix, good for biscuits."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

9 cups
all-purpose flour
1 cup
nonfat dry milk powder
5 tablespoons
baking powder
1/4 cup
white sugar
1 tablespoon
1 cup
vegetable shortening
I will never buy Bisquick ever again. I realized making a casserole I didn't have any on hand...came right to this recipe and threw it together with everything I had on hand. The casserole turned out excellent and then threw out some bisquits with it and they rose wonderfully! What a fast recipe to make up in a pinch!...Cost wise, excellent and makes way more then you can purchase it in the store. TY! Enjoyed the results that followed!
Shouldn't you include instructions on how to t
use the mix?
15 Ratings
This mix rose beautifully, and my son, Mr. Pickypants, certainly enjoyed the delicious result! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
Great substitute! I altered the recipe a little as I did not have dry milk powder on hand. This is what I did:
6 cups all-purpose flour,
3 tablespoons baking powder,
1 tablespoon salt,
3/4 cup shortening
This is great! Keep it sealed in a large glass jar in my pantry. For those who don't know what to do with it, you use it as a substitute for Bisquick. That's what it's for. If you don't know what Bisquick is or how to use it, visit the Betty Crocker website and look up Bisquick recipes. Not sure, but if you didn't know what to do with the recipe, why would you even look it up? :-)
This baking mix is perfect for whatever recipe that calls for a baking mix. I've been using it for dumplings for Hungarian Beef and Dumplings and it is awesome!
I scaled back the recipe to make 3 cups of this mixture to make 'Beer Muffins' from AR. It worked fantastic. Really no need to buy a pre-mix anymore. To make 3 cups: 2 1/2 c. + 2 TB flour; 1/4 c. + 2 t. dry milk; 1 TB + 1 1/4 t. baking powder; 1 TB + 1/2 t. sugar; 1 t. salt; 1/4 c. + 2 t. shortening
You will never have to buy Bisquick again, with all of those preservatives. I did not add the dry milk. When I was ready to make biscuits, I used 2 cups of the mix, and 3/4 cup of buttermilk, made with Saco. This made 6 nice sized biscuits. Some of you were wanting to know. This worked well for me. They were delicious biscuits. Thank you fayyr for sharing your recipe.

Pulse Protect: The IBM Security Forum at Pulse 2013
19 January, 2013
category: Security Intelligence
It's been over a year now since IBM acquired Q1 Labs and formed the new Security Systems organization. Throughout the year we've delivered important new announcements and capabilities across our entire security framework of people, data, applications, infrastructure, threat research and security intelligence. Some of these new capabilities have been advancements in existing product lines (application security for mobile devices, privileged identity management, network application control, etc) and some of them have been centered around integrating different pieces of the portfolio to make our products more intelligent than ever before (bringing things like X-Force threat intelligence and identity context into our security intelligence platform).
We're excited to talk with you more about the new capabilities we've brought to market, but also provide a meaningful look into what we're going to be focusing on in 2013. All of our customers have been asking about cloud, mobile, new compliance initiatives, the challenge and opportunity of Big Data as well as how to approach the ever increasing sophistication of advanced attackers. It's our goal to help you take our different capabilities to solve these difficult issues in a more integrated, intelligent way than ever before.
This year IBM Security will have its most compelling agenda to date and we're excited to meet with you. Here are some of the highlights that you can look forward to at Pulse Protect this year.
-Security keynotes featuring Brendan Hannigan and Sandy Bird
-4 conference tracks dedicated to security topics
-44 security best practice sessions delivered by customers, partners and IBM security experts
-A dedicated IBM Security Business Partner session
-A luncheon for CISOs and emerging security leaders
-Meet the expert opportunities
-Hands on labs
-1-on-1 opportunities for you, our clients and partners, to meet with the entire IBM Security executive team
As the date gets closer we'll provide an increasingly more robust look at the agenda in order to make sure you get as much value out of the conference as you can. You can view the entire agenda on the Pulse website, but here are a few session highlights that you might find interesting.
1. 2197: Next-Generation IAM for a Multi-Perimeter World
2. 2203: An Integrated Approach to Defending Against Advanced Threats
3. 1498: The Real Malware Threat and the Rise of Hacktivism: Insights from Equifax
4. 1652: Mitigating Mobile Security Risks with IBM Security AppScan (IBM)
5. 2205: Using Big Data and Analytics to Think Like an Attacker
(Be sure to check out the Pulse Session Preview Tool to explore sessions by keyword, topic, industry name and stream and personalize your Pulse experience with SmartSite.)
Stay tuned and we look forward to seeing you there.

Elizabeth Banks' Role in "The 40 Year-Old Virgin: "Well, the title says it all. Steve Carrell plays the part of the virgin so they're trying to rectify that situation. And I play one of the women who is up to the task of seducing him out of his virginity, but I prove a little too intimidating in the end. I think he's more frightened of me than attracted to me."
On Working with Steve Carell: "It's great fun. A lot of the movie we did we got to do a lot of improve, which is one of my favorite things to do. The director just let the film roll and roll and roll and wouldn't call cut and so it was like, 'Alright, we've just gotta keep going until we roll out of the camera.' We just had so much fun. He is just a master at improv and it's such a joy to have somebody who's that open and just like coming up with ideas every other second and just really in the moment. We just had so much fun doing it."
Also on the Horizon – "Slither:" "Also very funny. I read it and I swear I got that job because I went to the meeting with the director and I said I thought this was really funny and he was like, 'Yeah, somebody gets it.' I'd sort of say it's like 'Fargo' meets 'King Kong' with a sort of 'Alien' element to it. The monster… It's really a big monster. It's an old-school monster movie. It's like bumbling small town cops, you know, Keystone Cops have to fight off this monster and they don't really know its origin or where it came from or really what it even is, and we sort of all band together to fight this monster."
Will Elizabeth Banks Return as Miss Brant in "Spider-Man 3?:" Banks said she's definitely returning in "Spider-Man 3" but doesn't know yet exactly what she'll be doing. "I have no idea. I got a phone call recently apprising me of the dates but other than that I don't really have any information. But I'm really thrilled - I love Topher Grace – I'm friendly with him. I think he's a great actor and I'm very excited for him to do it. And Thomas Hayden Church, too, I think he's gonna be fantastic," said Banks.
Will Miss Brant be Interacting with the Villains?: "I have no idea. I just do whatever they tell me to do. I just am thrilled to be a part of the franchise."

The Rockies (after a satisfying 5-1 homestand) would like to see their upcoming 10 game road trip be a rebound from their most recent travels, where they went 1-9. They will send out the champion of rebounds, Juan Nicasio. The Orioles would like to see a rebound from the last series, where they dropped three straight games to Arizona in walk-off fashion. They will send out Wei-Yin Chen.

If all goes as planned, a small group of people in led by Marty Rosen will be drawing a comprehensive map of trails within the City of Menifee.
The map would include all trails used by hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers.
Rosen, who is a member of Riverside County's Trails Commission, presented the idea to the City Council last evening and asked them to discuss the formation of a city parks and trails commission.
"Most cities have a some kind of commission to oversee parks and trails." said Rosen, who lives in the Oasis community. "Both the cities of Temecula and Murrieta have a five member commission for this purpose."
According to Rosen, there is no single map that documents every trail in the City of Menifee. In 2003, the County of Riverside created a county-wide trails map, and a second map was created in 2008 but not at the direction of the county.
"In all there are five different maps, none of which have any relationship to reality." said Rosen. "None of them are accurate, we need to create one accurate trail map for our citizens to use, and for our Planning Commission to overlay on their general plan land use."
Rosen went on to explain that his proposed trails commission would lend credence to the trails map, and would operate at little to no cost to the city by doing all their own staff work for free, and conduct meetings at City Hall during normal business hours.
"I'm completely in favor of a trails commission", said councilmember Tom Furhman who recollected accounts of home developers rerouting trails or removing them altogether due to lost paperwork or delaying development long enough for residents to forget. "I believe the trails commissioner that you pick will have to be a lifetime appointment because he's going to have to be around for 15 or 20 years to make sure the stuff you start gets done."
Councilmember Sue Kristjansson, who said she supports the trails commission and met with the core team of people who started the idea, made a motion to place the discussion on the city council agenda for December 6. The motion was seconded and the Mayor ordered the item placed on the upcoming agenda.
"Our hope is to get trails that cross the city so that horse riders, mountain bikers, and pedestrians will have an opportunity to take advantage of them." Rosen said. "These trails will afford our citizens to stay fit and healthy and make Menifee a more desirable place to live in."
City to Discuss a Proposed Parks and Trails Commission Next Month
If all goes as planned, a small group of people in led by Marty Rosen will be drawing a comprehensive map of trails within the City of Menifee.

Inside the Battcave
Late last year my beloved husband bought me a domain name and a website. I wasn't writing or doing anything useful, so didn't really see the point. Apart from attaching the domain name to the site, I didn't do anything with it, and so it has sat.
My life is so boring. This is me at my Cert IV: Massage Therapist Course graduation.
Pure drudge: Kate Eltham of the Queensland Writer's Centre interviewing me during their Summer of Speculative Fiction programme.
A little joy in my life: my grandson Luc just minutes after delivery. Permission for this image to be displayed was kindly granted by his parents (because I respect the privacy of my children.)
Until now.
This year I started uni again. One of the units I'm doing is EDN113, Living and Learning with Technology. I have to create a website and blog, so I thought, why not get this one up and running? For now it will be about uni, but down the track it will incorportate my writing, family and real life.
So, what can you expect to find on my site?
Well, there's a blog which can be found in the My Murdoch Experience link on the menu.
I also have a livejournal where you can read more up-to-the minute ramblings about my family life, TV preferences and general opinions. I do occasionally tweet, but it's not a habitual occurence so I wouldn't really bother.
This site is mainly about uni and writing and how they fit in with my Real Life (tm).
Initially I will be concentrating on my uni life, what I'm doing and why, what I'm learning, what I'm thinking, the things that irk me and the things that make me think. Take this week, for instance. This week I learnt during my Foundation unit that it takes 3 litres of water to make a one litre plastic bottle. So imagine how angry I was today while watching The Biggest Loser. The challenge was to throw around 220 bottles of water per person into a wagon and transport them from one end of a pitch to another. There were 11 people doing this, in the sun, in a drought-stricken country. Those bottles were getting damaged. I did the math and for once I felt a spark of anger on behalf of the environment.
Uni makes me think. It makes me question. I love it.
And to show that I am taking on board the rule about making this mainly about EDN113, my son Connor has bought home a computer site that his school has enrolled him in. He's six. I'm rather excited as I'll be able to gauge just how much he learns from the computer compared to how much book-larnin' he gets.
This space is also about my writing life, what I do, how I do it, the times everything comes together and I sell a work and the times I throw a fit and decide to give up forever (roughly twice a year).
I have two great passions in my life: my family and my writing. If someone put a gun to my head and forced me to choose between the two I'd take my family any day, but as that hasn't happened yet, I'm happy to keep flinging words at the screen in the hope that some of them stick.
I'll talk about my pet writing hates as well as what floats my boat. I'll add any reviews of my work and review works that I read. As this site is about me I'll assume you're interested in the TV I watch, the movies I see and the music I listen to. Expect a lot of 80s links. I loves them.
I will be adding links. If you're an author and think I should link you, send me a message with details about your website.
So, go. Enjoy. If you think I should add or change something, let me know. I'll take all suggestions on board.

1862, 150 years ago
Blame it on Abe
New York Governor-elect Horatio Seymour isn't sleeping well these nights in his comfortable home on Whitesboro Street in Utica and President Abraham Lincoln is to blame.
Seymour – and most Democrats in the North – have condemned Lincoln's preliminary Emancipation Proclamation as a "bloody … unconstitutional scheme." The document urges Southern states in rebellion to end the Civil War and rejoin the Union or all slaves in those states will be "forever free." Seymour also is furious that Lincoln has suspended the writ of habeas corpus. The president now has the power to arrest "disloyal" Northerners who criticize the president's war policies and interferes in the war and, if necessary, jail them without trial if public safety demands it.
Meanwhile, officers of the 26th New York – the Second Oneida regiment made up of men mostly from Oneida County – gather in their camp in Virginia and adopt a resolution: "Several of our brother officers and soldiers, while engaged in gloriously fighting for our country at South Mountain and Antietam … laid down their lives for the maintenance of the Union. We who are left can but mourn their loss." Acting Adjutant William Gifford adds, "We assure the relatives of these noble men that in us they will always find steadfast friends wherever we may be."
1912, 100 years ago
Bible group disbands
For most of the 19th century, Bibles were expensive so the Oneida County Bible Society was formed in 1810 to distribute the Scriptures to persons who lacked the money to buy them. This week, the society went out of existence. President Theodore S. Sayre says, "Our work has become unnecessary since Bibles are now inexpensive and easily obtainable."
1937, 75 years ago
$42,000 plus
Republican and Democrat parties in Oneida County spent more than $42,000 to elect their candidates last Election Day – Republicans $18,000, Democrats $24,118.

Decision reversed
Earlier this year, the federal government decided that the Battle of Oriskany – fought in 1777 during the Revolutionary War – had only local significance and did not deserve national recognition. This week, it reversed its decision.
The advisory board on National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments recommends that Fort Stanwix and the Oriskany Battlefield be recognized as registered historic landmarks. Congressman Alexander Pirnie of New Hartford, who led the fight to reverse the decision, says the board came to realize that American militiamen led by Gen. Nicholas Herkimer, by stopping British forces at Stanwix and Oriskany from advancing to Albany, were instrumental in the British defeat at Saratoga weeks later." Saratoga is called the "turning point of the war."

Herkimer's Fred Henry bowls the 19th 700 series of his career, hitting 746 at the Herkimer Bowling Center on games of 247, 246 and 253. It's the highest score rolled at the center since it opened in 1946.
Capt. Alfred Donaruma is appointed chief instructor in the Utica Fire Department. The 21-year veteran succeeds Bernard M. Solan who has retired.

Hitler's pistol
Adolf Hitler's gold-plated pistol sells for $122,000 in a closed auction conducted by Mohawk Arms in Utica. Raymond Zyla, president of the military order firm, says the winning bid came in by telephone. The buyer lives "somewhere in Europe," Zyla says.
The hand-crafted pistol was taken from Hitler's apartment in Munich by American soldiers in the closing days of World War II. Other items bid on include a ceremonial shovel Hitler used to break ground for the Autobahn – it sells for $7,000 – and Hitler's silverware and table linen – they fetch about $10,000.
Mary Maine, of North Brookfield, is named director of volunteer services at Faxton Hospital and the Children's Rehabilitation Center. She is a graduate of Waterville Central School.
New Hartford and Holland Patent are filled with happy high school football fans. New Hartford defeats Fayetteville-Manlius, 7-6, to win its first Section III Class A championship. The Spartans are led by Jeremy Hurd, Ron Vitullo, Tom Oberlies and Jim Ritzel.
Holland Patent wins the Class B title by beating Westhill, 47-14. The Bill Brown-coached winners are led by Steve Sherman, Chris Caouto and Dean Bickley.

People say rude things all the time, but that doesn't make it okay. Learn to be a good conversationalist and avoid saying things that are snarky, nosy, gross, sarcastic, or downright mean.
If you have a tendency to stick your foot in your mouth and say the wrong thing or have bad timing with comments, make a concerted effort to change your behavior. Study a list of conversation starters before going to a party or have a friend nearby to give you a sign that you're heading into dangerous territory with your comments.
Remember that social etiquette includes what you say. You need to be careful what you say to others at home, in the office, at parties, and in school.
1. Have you lost weight?
2. Are you not feeling well?This is an insult, even if you say it out of concern because you're telling the person she doesn't look good. You would be better off asking a more generic, "How are you?" You can add something about how long it's been since you last saw her. She may tell you she had a tragedy in her family or she just got over the flu, and you'll get your answer without having to ask the question.
3. When is your baby due?When you ask this question, you risk being told that the person isn't pregnant. Then you're left with egg on your face because you just said you thought the person's midsection had grown. You're better off not even mentioning pregnancy. Simply ask how the person is doing, and if she's pregnant and wants to share her news, she will.
4. Are you still single?Asking a single person this question gives the impression that you think something is wrong with not having a partner. If you feel that you need to know the person's relationship status, simply ask if he has been seeing anyone special lately.
5. How old are you?Why do you care? Unless you are a medical person filling out a patient's file, it is rude to ask someone his age. If you have the urge to tell everyone how old you are, that is fine, and may have others sharing their age with you.
6. I don't like chicken (or whatever else is being served).
When you have been invited to dinner, and your host serves something you don't care for, keep your mouth shut and pretend it's your favorite food in the entire world. If you say that you don't like something, it can come across as an insult. You may find that you're never invited to another dinner party by that host again.
When you sit down at the table, nibble at the food you don't care for, but never call it to anyone's attention. If you are asked, you may simply say, "I'm not that hungry, but I enjoyed the conversation."

The First Buddhists
The First Buddhist Monks
The Buddha and his first disciples had no fixed place to call home. They slept under trees and begged for all of their food. Their only clothes were robes they patched together from cloth taken from rubbish heaps.
The First Buddhist Women
The historical Buddha's most famous statements on women came about when his stepmother and aunt, Maha Pajapati Gotami, asked to join the Sangha and become a nun. The Buddha initially refused her request. Eventually he relented, but in doing so he made conditions and a prediction that remain controversial to this day.
The Buddha's Robe
Although the robes of Buddhist monks and nuns come in many colors and styles, they are all part of a tradition going back to the time of the historical Buddha, 26 centuries ago.
The Buddha's Robe: A Photo Gallery
The distinctive style of Buddhist monks' robes originated 25 centuries ago among the historical Buddha's disciples. This image gallery illustrates the original robe today in southeast Asia and shows how it evolved as Buddhism spread north through China, Tibet, Japan and Korea.
The Buddhist Councils
The Four Buddhist Councils of early Buddhist history mark significant milestones in the development of Buddhism.
Kathina is an ancient ceremony for giving Buddhist monks and nuns gifts of cloth to make robes.
The First Buddhist Council
The First Buddhist Council was a significant event in early Buddhist history, although historians can verify very little about it.
The Third Buddhist Council: Pataliputra II
The Third Buddhist Council: Pataliputra I
The Buddha's First Sermon
The Buddha's first sermon is sometimes called the "first turning of the dharma wheel." In this sermon the Buddha presented the Four Noble Truths.

Va. Governor Mulls Order on Gun-Check Reports
Posted Apr 25, 2007 10:53 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine is considering an executive order to make sure mental health information is in a database used in background checks of gun buyers, according to the Washington Post.
That kind of information would have barred gun sales to Seung Hui Cho, the Virginia Tech student who went on a shooting rampage last week.
Kaine's staff is researching whether legislative approval is needed for the change.
Virginia reports involuntary commitments to the FBI for its database. A judge had ordered Cho to receive outpatient treatment and did not order commitment.

Valdosta - A man responsible for taking care of mentally challenged adults is now charged with assaulting them.
Investigators say 18-year-old Frank James beat two adult residents with a belt at the Parkwood Development Center in Valdosta. James is part of the direct care staff at the center.
Police were called there after someone noticed bruises on the men's buttocks. "Witnesses who were employees at the center confirmed that James committed the crime," said Lt. Bernard Robinson.
James is charged with battery, but investigators say more charges will likely follow.

Agent Based Modeling of Emergency Response
Natural and human-caused disasters leave both long-term geospatial and human scars. Recent catastrophic events such as the 2008 Sichuan earthquake that killed at least 68,000 people, the 2010 Haiti earthquake that killed over 200,000 people, or the 9–11 terrorist attacks that killed not only building occupants but also emergency response personnel, have left their historical mark. Although geospatial images of each of these events prior to and immediately after the event can provide physical details, ultimate scenario outcome following the disaster is of course absent and unknown. It is the goal of this project to investigate the use of agent-based modeling combined with geospatial information to dramatically improve the effectiveness and safety of emergency response personnel.
Crowd Dynamics
This project aims at developing methods for rapidly analyzing video and sequential images of crowds of people to determine when a peaceful crowd may be becoming panicked and potentially dangerous. The ultimate goal is a system that could quickly analyze the movement of a crowd to predict whether it is about to become chaotic.
If the system proves successful, it should be useful in monitoring events in real-time for the purpose of disaster response, law enforcement, and peacekeeping, as well as for analyzing and simulating crowd movement offline for the purpose of better disaster preparedness and urban planning.
Hydrostatic Modeling of Deadly Gas Emissions from African Lakes
In 1986 Lake Nyos in the Northwest Province of Cameroon released a large cloud of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere killing 1,700 people and 3,500 livestock in nearby villages. In addition there have been several smaller disasters from similar lakes in Africa. These lakes are some of the deepest in the world.
Lake Kivu ranks fifteenth with a maximum depth of 480 meters. In the rift valley bordered by the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, it is one of the African Great Lakes with a maximum length of 89 km and a maximum width of 48 km. With an estimated dissolved carbon dioxide volume of 256 cubic kilometers and 65 cubic kilometers of methane, it too has the potential of exploding and killing most of the neighboring 2 million inhabitants. It is at these depths, under extreme pressure that the gasses lie dissolved and dormant. However, with neighboring active volcanoes and the potential of landslides caused be runoff and extensive deforestation, a potential disaster could happen at any time with little or no warning.
Our unique effort in hydrostatic modeling is directed towards identifying the magnitude of the natural perturbation that could trigger the catastrophic release of a deadly volume of gas. Once quantification of the energy required to cause such a release of gas is known, then the commitment event, e.g. earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, can be identified followed by disaster monitoring and prediction.
Agent-Based Modeling of Organizational Silos and Impact on Innovation
Academic and many government institutions are generally organized into departments of highly specialized, like-disciplined individuals. However, industries are often organized along functional lines. One might then ask:
- Why is this true and what are the strengths and weaknesses of each organizational structure?
- Is this structure self-organized or does it result because of administrative dictates and convenience?
- Is this organizational structure the best to foster innovation, exploit discoveries, further knowledge, and improve general social welfare?

Google is coming clean about how green it has become. Among other things, the technology giant has revealed that, for all its services, its servers use less energy for a month, per user, than a light bulb that burns for three hours.
But, put together, the company's data centers continually use about 260 million watts, or about 25 percent of what a nuclear power plant generates.
Zero-Carbon Footprint
The company's greenness was detailed for the first time in a posting Thursday on its official Green Blog, and elsewhere. On the blog, Urs Hoelzle, senior vice president for technical infrastructure, noted that, because Google has been a carbon-neutral company since 2007 -- that is, it saves or removes the same amount of carbon emissions as it creates -- even the three hours of a light bulb per user is offset. The resulting carbon footprint of the company is zero.
Previously, Google has been general in discussing its energy use, possibly to avoid releasing competitive information. Now, in an apparent effort to show off its successful conservation and impact-less use of energy, the company is releasing some statistics.
It said its custom-built data centers used only about half the energy of most other centers. About 30 percent of its current electricity use is from renewable sources, including renewable energy already in the grid and renewable energy the company buys directly. That figure is expected to grow to over 35 percent next year.
The company's solar-generated electricity, bike-to-work programs, and other efforts remove the equivalent of about 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year. At the Mountain View, Calif., headquarters alone, solar panels generate about 3 million kWh of clean energy annually.
Reusing a Paper Mill
A huge part of Google's energy needs, of course, are its massive data centers. The company has said that it emphasizes four concepts to increase energy efficiency. It accurately measures power usage, keeps the centers warm to reduce cooling costs, designs each element in the data center to operate at optimal efficiency, and cools data centers without chillers.
The company's newest data center, in an old paper mill in Hamina, Finland, uses a variety of innovative techniques to reduce energy use. For instance, raw seawater from the Gulf of Finland uses an existing seawater tunnel, originally built for the paper mill. The seawater is run through heat exchangers, then sent to a "tempering building," where it mixed with more, cooler seawater. It is then returned to the Gulf at a temperature close to the natural one. No compressor-based or refrigerant-based cooling is used.
On Thursday, the company also released a study about the energy savings from using cloud-based services versus housing local servers. It cited data showing that "cloud-based services like Gmail allow organizations of all sizes to reap" advantages of increased efficiency, reduced overhead, and creating a smaller carbon footprint.
Laura DiDio, an analyst with Information Technology Intelligence Corp, said that the greening of data centers "is not a passing fad," because it can be a substantial cost-saving measure. She noted that Dell, IBM, Apple, Microsoft, and HP have also been leaders in this area.
The biggest savers, she said, are virtualization, cloud services and the rise of the remote, mobile workforce, which often mean fewer local power needs.

(Reuters) - Publisher John Wiley & Sons Inc said it is planning a major digital push to grab a bigger slice of the lucrative e-book market, which is witnessing an explosive growth, fueled by the popularity of tablets and e-readers.
"Some of the larger publishing houses have 25-30 percent of sales from e-books. We hope to achieve those levels," Chief Executive Stephen Smith told Reuters in an interview.
E-books represent 11 percent of the company's professional/trade (PT) unit sales, which account for 23 percent of overall revenue, and their sales saw strong growth at Amazon Inc's Kindle store and Apple Inc's iBookstore.
"In the first quarter of this year, we have seen a three-fold rise in e-book sales at our professional and trade segment," Smith said. "We expect to see e-books becoming a much larger proportion of our revenue."
The 204-year old company -- which started off as a publisher of 19th century American authors like Washington Irving, Herman Melville, and Edgar Allan Poe -- is now known for brands such as "For Dummies" instructional texts, "Frommer's" travel guides, "Betty Crocker" cookbooks and Wiley-Blackwell academic journals.
Digital sales, which include e-books and other products and services, accounted for 40 percent of the company's total revenue across all its segments in fiscal year 2011.
Digital sales comprised 59 percent of scientific/technical/medical/scholarly (STMS), 10 percent of PT, and 16 percent of global education revenue. While e-books make up 16 percent of STMS, 7 percent of PT and 5 percent of global education revenue.
The company's STMS unit, its largest by sales, was the first to migrate to digital in 1995 followed by its global education unit.
Wiley also signed sales agreements with Amazon Germany, ChristianBooks.com, and Blio in the first quarter to push e-book sales.
Its larger rivals include McGraw-Hill Companies Inc, Reed Elsevier Plc, Pearson, Axel Springer AG.
While growth in Asia, which accounts for about a fifth of the company's revenue, continues to be strong, Wiley is also looking to enhance its digital content through services acquisitions, partnerships and in-house development.
"We are finding sources of growth in more mature markets in North America and Europe particularly through expansion of services," Smith said.
Smith, who is undergoing cancer treatment, said the company is looking at technology to speed its digital transition and move to "content-based services" and it is "vigilantly looking at strategic opportunities at the right price."
Wiley is interested in acquiring companies that helps build capabilities in search technology, content enrichment, semantic tagging, distance learning, curriculum development, test preparation, among others.
The company generated $270 million of free cash flow in 2011 and said it is "comfortable making large acquisitions."
Wiley's $1.12 billion buy of UK's academic journal and reference book publisher Blackwell Publishing in 2007 was its most recent and largest acquisition in its history.
The Hoboken, New Jersey-based also reaffirmed its profit outlook of $3.15-$3.20 for the year on mid-single digit revenue growth. At constant U.S. dollar rates, the company expects to add 10 cents a share to profit.
With regards to Apple taking a 30 percent cut on sales through its App Store, the company said it is "absolutely not coordinating with our competitors regarding negotiations with Apple on any terms or pricing."

Take to the road in a zero-emission coupe built for two
As green thinking becomes a world affair, electric vehicles are beginning to pop up in all shapes and sizes. The economic Nissan Leaf can already be seen buzzing around U.S. roads, while Cadillac and BMW both have more luxurious electric offerings poised to hit dealerships shortly. German automaker Opel is now getting in on the mix, with a two-seat electric concept vehicle set to be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week.
The compact cruiser doesn't have an official name, but is instead being touted as the "One Euro Car" because it can travel 100 kilometers (roughly 62 miles) for just one euro (or $1.41). With mobility in mind, the new vehicle boasts one-third the weight of a typical compact car and a top speed of 75 miles per hour.Opel "One Euro Car"
Opel hasn't sold cars in the United States under its own nameplate since the early 70s. But as it is a General Motors brand, several of Opel's designs have come to U.S. dealerships under GM brands including Saturn, Buick, and Cadillac, so don't be entirely surprised if a version of the conceptual electric speedster eventually makes it stateside.

Four Americans and a Greek national have been indicted on conspiracy and copyright infringement charges for alleged involvement with a website, NinjaVideo, which offered illegal downloads of movies and television shows, the Justice Department said Friday.
Many of the movies offered by NinjaVideo.net, which was shut down by US law enforcement in June 2010, were still playing in theaters and others had not yet been released publicly, the department said in a statement.
The indictments were handed down on Thursday by a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, the department said.
The five were charged with one count of conspiracy and five counts of copyright infringement for their involvement with NinjaVideo, it said.
According to the indictment, NinjaVideo was launched in February 2008 and allowed visitors to illegally download copyright-protected movies and TV shows in high-quality formats.
Many movies were offered for free and a greater selection was available for a donation of at least $25, the Justice Department said.
It said the operators allegedly collected more than $500,000 during the website's two-and-a-half years of operation.
The five charged were Hana Amal Beshara, 29, of New Jersey; Matthew David Howard Smith, 23, of North Carolina; Joshua David Evans, 34, of Washington state; Zoi Mertzanis, 36, of Greece; and Jeremy Lynn Andrew, 33, of Oregon.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - AT&T Inc and T-Mobile USA fought back against the Justice Department's challenge to their proposed merger, arguing the deal would "usher in more intense competition."
AT&T and T-Mobile, owned by Deutsche Telekom AG, argued in a federal court filing on Friday that the massive $39 billion deal would free up spectrum and create new capacity for Americans whose mobile devices are transmitting increasingly large amounts of data.
"The Justice Department's complaint fails to come to grips with the significant efficiencies this transaction will generate," the companies said in their filing.
In the brief, AT&T asked the court to allow its purchase of T-Mobile to go forward and to require the Justice Department to pay its costs in the challenge.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit aimed at stopping the deal last week, saying the acquisition of T-Mobile USA, the No. 4 carrier, by AT&T, the No. 2, would harm competition in the wireless market and lead to higher prices.
The department, in particular, seemed determined to preserve T-Mobile as an innovative, discount carrier that held down wireless prices.
Responding to that concern, AT&T said "T-Mobile is not a unique or material competitive constraint on AT&T."
"T-Mobile has not been a meaningful or unique innovator in terms of network development and deployment, nor is it likely to become one in the foreseeable future," AT&T said in the filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The deal partners took issue with the Justice Department's review of the effect of the merger on a national basis instead of on a local basis. They argued that more than 90 percent of U.S. consumers currently have at least five wireless carriers to choose from in their local markets.
They also disputed the method the Justice Department used to analyze the deal, saying it was too simplistic.
If the merger goes through, AT&T will unseat Verizon Wireless as the No. 1 U.S. mobile carrier. Verizon Wireless is a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc.
"We continue to believe this transaction as currently proposed is anti-competitive and harmful to consumers," Justice Department Spokesperson Gina Talamona said. "We will respond further in our court filing."
The lawsuit is the biggest antitrust challenge yet by the Obama administration.
The case is the Department of Justice v. AT&T, T-Mobile USA, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, No. 11-01560.

No, seriously.
The fight card for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 22 event continues to get shelled, as talent marches off the injury cliff en masse like a horde of jacked-up lemmings. This time it's Matt Wiman, who was apparently too "Handsome" for his own arm and withdrew from the card with a snap, crackle and pop.
Stepping in for the former TUF guy is promotion sophomore Charles Oliveira, according to MMA Weekly, who will now face Efrain Escudero in the night's co-main event. "Hecho en Mexico" was a late replacement for Mac Danzig, who suffered injuries of his own and dropped out of the contest earlier this week.
Oliveira was impressive in his Octagon debut, submitting Darren Elkins via armbar at UFC on Versus 2 earlier this month. "Do Bronx" is perfect through 13 fights, and has finished all but one of his victims.
The Brazilian now gets a major step up in competition against The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8 champion in Escudero.
The Tempe native was originally pegged to battle John Gunderson on the preliminary card, but was promoted to the co-main event when Danzig went AWOL. Now he shifts gears once again and will have to keep his submission defense in check come Sept. 15.
After steamrolling his way to 12 straight wins, Escudero was derailed by Evan Dunham in the third round of their UFC Fight Night 20 scrap earlier this year. The painful submission (armbar) sent him back to the drawing board, but not for long.
Escudero rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Dan Lauzon at UFC 114: "Rampage vs. Evans" on May 29 and could get himself right back into the title hunt with a big win over one of the division's top prospects.
To catch up on all the recent changes to the UFC Fight Night 22: "Marquardt vs. Palhares" fight card, scheduled as the lead-in to the twelfth season of TUF on Sept. 15, check out the current (for now) line-up by clicking here.

K... Question for everyone...(other than beer) What is the most important thing to bring with you when tailgating?
This FanPost should be the most diverse and heavily trafficked (is that even a real word) and or answered/commented on fan post that has ever been offered non-during-the-season response to a question ever in the entire history of Daily Norseman. (oh yes it will be.) oh... and my sister was an English teacher (see how that worked out) so I don't need any comments on how bad my sentience structure is.... savey?
(and I am doing this for the benefit a certain someone... who's name starts with "SKOL" that has never been tailgating.)
No... I am not gonna tell you who it is... so...
here are the rules... after the jump....
Name THE most important thing to bring to a Tailgate:
Rules ( and I reserve the right to make up new rules as we go... cause... hey... it's my game.)
1) Beer is a no brainer so that cannot be your answer
2) points will be awarded for the most creative response (no wrong answers)
3) You cannot duplicate anyone else's response to this post (so read first, then respond)
4) any fan of any team can answer this question so feel free to share outside the Daily Norseman. (although I'm pretty darn sure that a Daily Norseman fan will have the best response... cause hey.. we pretty much rock.)
4) I MAY award bonus points for creative responses
Ready.... GO!
(total side note: yes... that photo is of my brand new tailgating grill that I got for Fathers Day... and yes... yes I do have the best family ever!)
(edit: fixed the spelling of Tailgate in the Headline)

The company adds to its marketing and exhibition firepower with the Radius-TWC and Samuel Goldwyn Films exec
A24 just keeps on growing quickly and quietly, announcing Thursday the addition of distribution veteran Heath Shapiro, who will work from the company's New York headquarters to focus on distributing and marketing the upstart company's film slate.
Shapiro comes to A24 after just over a year at Radius-TWC, where he served as vice president of marketing and distribution. He takes no title at A24 – they're one of those no-titles companies – and is not replacing anyone, signaling a growing need for marketing and distribution firepower at the upstart that's already made a splash with several titles, including "Spring Breakers" and "The Spectacular Now."
Also read: Amazon Makes Its First Exclusive Movie Deal – And It's With A24
His earlier experience includes a long stint at Samuel Goldwyn Films and as vice president of national sales for Independent Distribution Partners. Well-liked and well-sourced in the exhibition community, Shapiro will be focused on distribution and marketing, but like just about everyone at A24, he'll have his hand in all sorts of activities.
"Heath is an incredibly talented distribution executive with a deep range of skills in theatrical distribution and marketing. As A24 continues to grow Heath is the exact right person to help lead us into the future," the company said in a collective statement.
Some 2014 releases Shapiro will tackle include Jonathan Glazer's "Under the Skin"
starring Scarlett Johansson; Jake Gyllenhaal and Denis Villeneuve's "Enemy," and Steven Knight's "Locke," all acquisitions from Toronto, where A24 quietly launched in 2012 and was particularly aggressive this summer.
"A24 has done such a fantastic job with their films up to this point," says Shapiro. "I'm incredibly excited to join the team, and help bring these movies to the widest audience possible."

This Place Was Perfect!
What can we say, but that this place was perfect! Every moment of our stay we absolutely loved! This house was the perfect way to end our Yosemite/Tahoe trip. This was our second anniversary and we can't wait to come back! Thank you for thinking of every little amenity to make our stay so comfortable. Thanks, again!
Almost Perfect!
This house is beautiful! It was well-appointed, very clean, and had super comfortable beds. Awesome heated floors/masterbath/fireplaces. We had a great week. The only reason I am giving the propterty 4 stars instead of 5 is because the hot tub was not working properly. I emailed the owner to let him know/ask for help in getting it operable and he did not respond. This was surprising because he had been very prompt in other previous attempts to contact him.
Perfect Cabin for Weeklong Getaway With Friends
Us: 4 couples (mid 20s-30s) looking for vacation rental close to slopes and casinos The cabin has it all! We visited during Christmas week and there was about a foot of snow on the ground. At that point in December 2013 one winter snow storm had come through. Kitchen is fully stocked with anything you would ever need to make a delicious meal! We even used the crock pot for our Christmas roast! Plenty of space to hang around downstairs. In total, the cabin has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms upstairs is a bunk room and has a full-sized bunk bed with a twin bunk on the top. As well as 3 additional twin beds in the room (2 of which can be pushed together to make a king if you wanted to). The other 3 bedrooms each have either a queen or king I believe. The hot tub was perfect and very hot! It was so awesome to get home from a day of skiing and relax in it :-) We were able to bring our dog, which was really wonderful us. There is even a dog-run rope/line outside to tie up your pup so they can play outside but not run away! The house is about 20 minutes from Heavenly Ski Area and 20 minutes from Sierra at Tahoe. It is in a nice neighborhood that backs up to a large open field. Our group hiked through the field and up a nearby hill and sledded down the hill. Some actually snowboarded, then hiked back up the hill for some fun and cheap snow adventures. The property itself is well maintained and smelled very clean when we got there. There was plenty of firewood and the fireplace works very well. Chuck was very responsive to our initial inquiry and answered any questions we had before we booked our vacation. The home is within walking distance to a corner store with a large beer selection as well as other smaller establishments. Within about 5 minutes is a large grocery store, pizza, etc. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a vacation in South Tahoe. The house is fully stocked, warm and cozy, and close to attractions without being extremely expensive. Perfect for a big group of friends or families with kids.

High St and Road to Rail – Kings Square, Fremantle, Saturday Sept. 17, 1:00 pm
September 12, 2011 3 Comments
I'll be speaking at a Rally – Kings Square, Fremantle, Saturday Sept. 17, 1:00 pm along with Lynn MacLaren –Greens Transport Spokesperson and Annolies Truman - Fremantle Road to Rail, protesting against the State Government's focus on building roads for trucks instead of investing in sustainable infrastructure such as rail or in road options that better protect communities like the compromise Option 4A. It woudl be good to see you there.
Why does Fremantle have to demand freight on rail?
The Department of Transport (DoT) has announced plans to lift freight movements through the Port of Fremantle using B-double trucks 24 hour a day, seven days a week. This will require over 1,000 truck movements per day, at least 46 per hour.
Both of the Department's High Street Options 4 and 4A will address the current noise, safety and amenity problems for residents. But Option 4 has a greater impact on the community and its larger curve will let trucks travel at 70kms per hour.
The majority of Fremantle, when forced by the Department to choose a road option, preferred Option 4A, but the Department has ignored that because Option 4 suits its truck plans.
300kms of regional WA Tier 3 rail lines are to be closed down. This will increase the number of trucks on metropolitan roads.
The Freight Network Review (2002) recommended a target of 30% of freight on rail to the port by 2013 and to keep open the Tier 3 railway lines. The DoT has ignored the Review.
If only 30% of the containers were transported by rail the number of trucks on the road would diminish to the level they were in 2002 and no road works would be necessary.
Instead, we are faced with the Roe Highway being bulldozed through Bibra Lake, Stock Road being turned into a freeway and a dramatic increase in truck movements on a residential road through Fremantle.
The real answer is to move as much freight as possible onto rail.

Reviews for
El Conde De Monte Cristo/ The Count of Monte Cristo
Criticas Reviews 2003 November-December
Dumas's renowned 19th-century romantic novel recounts the trials of Edmond Dantes, a young sailor who is betrayed and imprisoned in a French island fortress after the fall of Napoleon, and his extraordinary escape 14 years later. After setting out to find a hidden treasure on the island of Monte Cristo, Dantes transforms himself into a wealthy and powerful count. This reinvention allows him to avenge those who wronged him and to find the beloved woman he left behind. Brought to the screen numerous times, this particular audio version seems almost like the soundtrack for a movie. Orchestrated music similar to the dramatic scores of Hollywood adventure movies and sound effects such as birds singing, bullet shots, and footsteps provide a realistic, inviting tone, which is particularly engaging for younger listeners. However, these effects sometimes overwhelm and divest attention from the primary dialog. Narrator Winston Vallenilla tends to overdramatize, making the story sound sometimes like a telenovela. Overall, however, the various characters' voices are clear, well paced, and in neutral Spanish. Great for read-aloud sessions, this audio book is recommended for public and middle-school libraries.
