Tails: Book One, the first collected edition of the semi-autobiographical webcomic by Ethan Young (Comic Book Tattoo: Tales inspired by Tori Amos, Comeback Kings), is only up for preorder until for a bit more than a week! Originally published as a mini-series of the same name, Tails relaunched as a webcomic in 2009, and garnered a loyal fanbase. It has now been remastered in graphic novel format for its print home at Hermes Press.
Tails follows the exploits of hapless vegan cartoonist Ethan, as he manages relationships and litter boxes, all while trying to successfully publish his comic strip, Crusader Cat. As his life gets weirder in the real world, it also does on the comic page. Before he knows it, Ethan gets in over his head when fantasy and reality combine — and then things get really weird.
Tails has been positively reviewed and spotlighted on MTV Geek, Comic Book Resources, and Graphic NYC. Check it out
. We won't complain if you go ahead and pre-order it from Amazon while you can.
Tails: Book One
307 pages
160 pages
In preparing the library edition of fantasy cartoonist Gray Morrow's long-lost adult masterpiece Orion, from the pages of Heavy Metal magazine, Hermes Press has decided to include Morrow's other distinctive creator-owned book: Edge of Chaos, originally published in 1983 by Pacific Comics.
Both Orion and Edge are the two most distinctively Gray Morrow comics, and are full of swashbuckling, sexiness, and sorcery. Whereas Orion was purely sword and sorcery, Edge of Chaos has a unique spin on the Greek myths, as it follows modern day adventurer Eric Cleese (no relation to the Monty Python comedian) and the dangers he faces in an odd (yet also oddly familiar) past world. The two books are also representative of different inking styles by Morrow, as Edge of Chaos features a thinner pen line than the more brush-inked Orion.
Gray Morrow's Orion is due out this Spring, with the title story mostly shot off of Morrow's original, hand-colored art. The book also has a historical essay by historian Christopher Irving, and is done in conjunction with Gray Morrow's wife Pocho Morrow.
I SPY, the groundbreaking espionage show, finds it next mission at Hermes Press. I SPY: The Complete Seriesreprints all six issues of the Gold Key comics, with stories by the prolific Paul S. Newman and art by Alden McWilliams for the first five issues, and Mike Roy for the sixth.
I SPY, which aired from 1965 to 1968, followed the globetrotting adventures of undercover spies Kelly Robinson and Alexander Scott, played by Robert Culp and Bill Cosby. As much a buddy adventure as a spy one, I SPY was not only smart and sexy but also fun, and remains a standout in the genre. It broke ground with a strong African-American lead in Cosby's Scott, actually filmed on location around the world, and even coined terms like "wonderfulness." The sincerity and fun makesI SPY stand out amongst other shows of the genre (both then and now), so it comes as no surprise that the supposed tennis star and trainer made their way to the comic book pages.
This hardcover library edition gives you the six issues of the Gold Key comic book, never -before-seen publicity photos of Culp and Cosby, and revealing essays on the show's history.
I SPY is only the latest in upcoming reprint books by Hermes Press, coming hot on the heels of our release of My Favorite Martian: The Complete Series-Volume One, as we continue our mission to bring only the best of pop culture artifacts back to light.
I SPY: The Complete Series
Available soon.

Ok. Now what we have here in this place.
This is a pack of 100 IDs, ~50% (!!!) of this stuff is trance, another part is house, techno etc.
Don't be surprised if you were a participant of my contests..u know me)
Easy? Hard? I can say now it's easy with most of trance & house aaand the winner will be a man with the knowledge "all around" .
Anth else? I want you, you and, yes, you too to be here with us, 'coz it's just a mixture of very nice tracks you'll like it, I know.
Everybody has a chance to win, guys.
IMHO, my friends, this is not the best of my three contests. Maybe I'm gettin' old)
So, the ID Contest #95 has just started. I wish you all gl.
Rules? They're the same)
PS: and, please, bombard me with PMs) I' m always on-line for you.

Thanks for your message. I'll send you a PM when I have the files, just a first impression try. Puh, I'm not into house and techno, so that will be very tough.
Can't live without Trance

Would probably be a good idea to follow the ancient rule of naming the thread "ID Contest XX blah blah blah" so that the moderators will notice it and sticky it.
Definitely more difficult than the last one. I recognize about half, but can name around 10%-15% right off my head.
Will be interesting to see how well people know the more never tracks, that might by my strength.
Sorry for that, guys) You know when you've a tons of music and new tracks come everyday...really difficult to collect nice and not rare tracks. For you it's rare for me sometimes is not etc. But! I see what we achieve. Hints are always ready.
For me it's that I got 10 % right now, that was the stuff that I knew when I listened to the tracks for the first time. Then I got like let's say 15-20 "Yes" tunes, where I know that I know but have to go thru my archive to get the name and then there is the rest where I have absolutely no idea of and if you don't know a track, you have no chance to find out what it is, if you don't google the lyrics or recognize the sound style. Just saying. Anyway, in the end it's about who knows the most of the 100 tracks and not too know like 50-75 % of the tracks. I can't wait to see how many tracks the rest got and will check my archive on the weekend, then I'll find some of the tracks for sure.
Alright, sent in my first answers.
Wonder if it will only be IN_RAINBOWS and me competing?

i tried, but after listening to the first 50 or so i gave up since I am not a super expert. the last one was more fun for me...
Ok, guys. As always we've a pair of participants at the beginning.
GroundLine - 55p
IN_RAINBOWS - 43p
Aaand of course many of unrecognized tracks. Wait for your answers.
Now I think that it's quite difficult contest, maybe some of tracks are simply fresh or rare.
Ok, we'll see who knows better "known" tunes) Good luck!
PS: weidenkind, where is your PM?)
PSS: by the way, the file was downloaded 11 times!

Hm, anybody else? Is it so hard?!)

Too hard, too troucy, too new, too many tracks, too good competition.
I've found that this contest only gains interest if you put 50% mainstream trance classics in it.
Hah, ok)

Finally, I felt like my normal self again. The doctor would have me at this dosage for a full year before we would attempt to get off the Celexa. He felt that my neurons needed time to repair from the damage that I caused through years of drug abuse. Some of the side effects that I experienced were: yawning, weight gain and libido decrease. One lesson that became clear when taking Celexa - don't miss a dose! If I ever forgot to take a dose, by three in the afternoon I would feel brain shocks. I switched to taking my Celexa in the morning after I brush my teeth to keep it as routine as possible.
Brain shocks are horrible. At first, you are not sure of what you just experienced. These jolts have a subtle beginning. When you first experience it, you might think Eww. What was that? Shocks are very disconcerting. One of the official side-effects of Celexa is known as paraesthesia which is an abnormal, prickling feeling. I'm not sure if that adequately or accurately describes shocks. Here's an attempt at an explanation. Please try to be imaginative. After all, how would one explain color to a person born without eyes? Here I go. If you shake your head (like you are saying no back and forth very quickly, you may feel your brain rattling around in your skull as if it were having a delayed response due to its inertia. Ok, take that uncomfortable feeling and add it to the feeling your eyes experience when you suddenly view a bright source of light. Next, add in a strange sense of confusion as if your reset button is being pressed involuntarily. Finally, add in some paraesthesia of the brain. This amalgam of experiences all happen like a click, a jolt, or a shock. Unfortunately, if you don't do anything to treat the shocks i.e. take Celexa, the shocks come more frequently and with greater strength. One time, I experienced shocks on the order of five per minute. This occurred on the third day of zero dosage after originally trying to discontinue Celexa. What a horrible experience that was. Coupled with the shocks was an increasing feeling of anxiety. I also became more and more moody and difficult.

Hey Card fans,
I want to first say how proud of this years team I am and all they accomplished. Given the start of the season, I truly feel they overachieved and accomplished more than any of us could have imagined. With that being said, I can't help but feel excited for the 2013 season and the fact ESPN has us at a possible #2 preseason ranking. However, in their explanation, there is no note of Luke Hancock.
I have heard(read) that Pitino has said Luke Hancock at times is our best player in practice. Can anyone shed light on this and if he truly will make that large of an impact on our team. Does he have the skill set to be a critical player on the 2013 squad? Or has Pitino-speak left us with lofty expectations? I would especially appreciate feedback from people that have seen him play this past year( with our boys).
Thanks, Gorgui Love, and Go Cards

I realize that for most people reading this blog Alabama football is their main passion, and, rightfully so. But I want to entice you to become a fan of not just the most dominating football team in the land but also a fan of Alabama Gymnastics, Alabama Soccer, Alabama Softball, Alabama Cross Country, Alabama Golf, Alabama Basketball, Alabama Baseball, etc. etc. In short I want you to be a fan of all things Alabama and all aspects of the University of Alabama.
Now I must admit I'm probably a good deal older (60) than most of you and the truth is when I was in high school I was purely a fan of Alabama Football. In fact I didn't even know Alabama had a baseball team as a kid growing up. Even when I learned we had a team, I knew practically nothing about our the team until we lost to Texas in the CWS in 1983. But, after that exciting run in 83, when we made it to the finals, I was hooked on Alabama Baseball. So, hopefully, if you are not a fan of all things Alabama you will become one. And, hopefully, if you have never followed Alabama Baseball maybe this year you will start. Below, I'm going to give you the main reasons why I think you should follow Alabama Baseball.
First and foremost this baseball team is representing the University of Alabama. At Alabama we have a "brand." This brand is the way the general public sees us. If the only team that does well is the football team then we are perceived to be just a football school. We become what Kentucky is in basketball or Tennessee is in women's basketball.
If we only win in football, football then begins to define our school and our athletic department. And then, when some bozos get arrested and they happen to be football players, our athletic department looks like a bunch of thugs. Trust me, as good as we have been in football, we do not want to be defined by just football. We want to be known as the University of Alabama "Home of Champions." We don't want to win one NC a year we want to win 6 or 8 different NCs every year.
Secondly, is the whole rivalry thing. If we were playing Tennessee in tiddly winks I'd want to beat them so bad it makes them quit winking their tiddles. In baseball we play the same rivals we do in football. And, we need to beat them just as much in baseball as football.
I know we remember football longer. But, it always feels good to beat Auburn. I think our gymnastic streak of beating Auburn 106 times in row is fantastic and something to brag about especially to the Aubies. Furthermore, I was very proud of our baseball team last year, when in spite of a terrible season, they swept a ranked Auburn team for the first time in 10 years. Our guys know what it is all about.
Third, baseball is a major sport. On the men's side of the ledger, baseball is the 3rd most attended sport behind football and basketball. Now, baseball will never be close to football in attendance at Alabama. But, when 4 or 5 thousand come outdoors to watch a sporting event that is still a big crowd. I played soccer in college (at another school) and I think the biggest crowd I ever played before was probably around 800. And, since unlike basketball, baseball does not over lap football, I think it is very easy to support this sport.
Fourth, baseball coverage is available. There are 30 radio stations that carry Bama Baseball in state. Now I know you may not like to listen to sports on the radio like I do. But, Chris Stewart is one of the best sports broadcasters you will ever hear and he calls Bama Baseball. If you live out of Alabama (as I do) you should be able to find one of the stations on the internet for free. You can also go to rolltide.com and get the pay deal through CBS Sports. It is just a few bucks a month and it gives you all sorts of live Bama sports including all baseball games.
Fifth, these guys need and deserve your support. Unlike football players and basketball players, baseball players often toil in anonymity. Yet, they practice as much or more than any sport. If you have ever played an obscure sport in high school or college you know how much it meant to you when even one fan said, "Hey I saw your game on Saturday." Believe me, the baseball guys appreciate every fan as much or more as the football guys.
Sixth, you can see future major leaguers. Most of these guys will not play pro ball, but some will. It is always cool to say stuff like "Oh yeah, I watched Alex Avila when he was at Bama, one time against Auburn he..."
Seventh, we have real tradition. Alabama is tied for number 2 all time in SEC Tournament Titles. We hold an all time winning record against all SEC schools except Arky & SC (I'm also not counting the new comers- aTm and Mizzou). And with the two schools we are behind we are relatively close just being 1 game behind Arky and 7 behind South Carolina. Bottom line is that traditionally Alabama is one of the top two or three baseball schools in the SEC.
Finally, it is Alabama people They wear...guess what...Crimson. To be honest there is just something about seeing a team wearing Crimson and seeing the words Alabama, Crimson Tide, Bama, etc., on their uniform. When I see that I really can not help myself. I have to watch and cheer.
So there you go, more than enough reasons to start following Bama Baseball. And, I am excited this year that RBR is giving you some real baseball coverage. We are off to a great start 4-0 and we just beat a ranked S. Miss team. I hope at the very least you will read the RBR coverage this year and become a fan of Alabama Baseball in 2013.

If the noises coming out of South America* are to be believed, we are on the eve of the retirement of one of football's greats.
After a weekend in which we drooled over a wonder strike from Wayne Rooney, the footballing fraternity prepares to bid farewell to a man who scored goals of such audacious quality on a fairly regular basis.
Forwards are often divided in to two categories: great goalscorers, and scorers of great goals. Ronaldo was undoubtedly both.
Yes, in his latter years he piled on the pounds. There was more gelato than golazo. But fat is temporary; class is permanent.
Kevyn Doran on Vimeo has put together this rather exhaustive retrospective. Take a glance at a career littered with goals.
*not all of the noises, of course. As continents go, it's fairly noisy. But some of the noises, particularly those on twitter. Which don't really make any actual audible noise. But you know what I mean.

Shortly after deflecting the fan who crashed his trophy ceremony on Sunday night, newly crowned U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson posted a photo on Twitter of himself with the guy who stormed the dais as Bob Costas was intoning solemnly into the microphone.
"My new friend," Simpson tweeted about the man who goes by the handle "Jungle Bird" and describes himself as an "activist dedicated to raising awareness of deforestation."
As SB Nation's Jon Bois noted Sunday, Jungle Bird has squawked his way into several situations, including a Monty Python-like near-audience with the Queen of England. And in case you were wondering where "the gendarmes," as Costas called U.S. Open officials, hauled JB off to, it was to the nearest jailhouse. The Birdman told TMZ, however, that San Francisco's finest chuckled along with him and matched him cackle for cackle.
In the end, the USGA decided not to press charges, but the Royal & Ancients may want to be on the lookout to keep the guy in the Union Jack knit cap from breaching security at the British Open as easily as he did at The Olympic Club.
Jungle Bird, by the way, posted a message Monday on his Facebook page for Simpson, who bemusedly brushed off the intrusion with a good-natured "Enjoy the jail cell, pal."
"Congratulations to Webb Simpson on winning the US Open and a big thank you for being a good sport!"
Well played, gentlemen.

text: Outwardly, we live in an era that appears more open-minded, non-judgemental and tolerant than in any time in human history. The very term intolerant invokes moral condemnation. We are constantly reminded to understand the importance of respecting different cultures and diversities. In this pugnacious new book, Frank Furedi argues that despite the democratisation of public life and the expansion of freedom, society is dominated by a culture that not only tolerates but often encourages intolerance. Often the intolerance is directed at people who refuse to accept the conventional wisdom and who are stigmatised as 'deniers'. Frequently intolerance comes into its own in clashes over cultural values and lifestyles. People are condemned for the food they eat, how they parent and for wearing religious symbols in public. This book challenges the 'quiet mood of tolerance' towards morally stigmatised forms of behaviors. The author examines recent forms of 'unacceptable behaviour'. It will tease out the real motives and drivers of intolerance.

Elderly woman rescued from broken-down lift (From This Is Lancashire)
Elderly woman rescued from broken-down lift
Updated 10:17am Tuesday 28th January 2014 in News By Liam Thorp, Reporter
AN elderly woman had to be rescued by firefighters after she became trapped in a broken down lift.
The woman was using the lift at the Kingsbury Court Lodge sheltered housing complex in Heaton when it broke down just before 8pm.
Crews from Bolton Central fire station used a lift key to open the lift and free the woman.
Crew manager Richard Henthorne said: "The team acted quickly to help the woman who was shaken but not harmed."

Looking a bit like a homeless re-imagining of horror movie icon Freddy Krueger, right-wing conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck appeared on his Blaze TV Internet show Monday sporting a beard, rolling condoms onto his fingers and taping a birth control pill to his nose in an apparent effort to mock MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry.
On her weekend show, Harris-Perry wore a pair of tampons as earrings to make a point about officials at the Texas Capitol who began confiscating feminine hygiene products from protesters as Republicans pushed the acrimonious abortion debate to a close in the recent special session.
Beck explained Monday that if the MSNBC host were wearing the odd earrings in public, "I might be attracted to you." He said that's because they look "kind of like marshmallows," not stopping to explain why marshmallow earrings would cause him to become aroused. "From a distance you'd be like, 'She has marshmallow earrings. She is trolling for me!'"
Beck's co-hosts didn't quite get his schtick. "It just looks like you're rolling condoms onto your fingers," one of them said. "Is this for reproductive rights?"
"I'm with her, I'm with her," Beck replied before taping a birth control pill to his nostril and calling it a nose ring. "I'm in Texas. She is wearing tampon earrings, I'm wearing condom gloves. I just want to make the point that abortion is murder, and if you're looking to control reproductive organs, there are other things you can do."
"Melissa, you don't look like an idiot — nor do I," he concluded. "And Melissa, you look as credible as I do."

PRETORIA, South Africa — Paralympic superstar Oscar Pistorius was charged Thursday with the murder of his girlfriend who was shot inside his home in South Africa, a stunning development in the life of a national hero known as "Blade Runner" for his high-tech artificial legs.
Reeva Steenkamp, a model who spoke out on Twitter against rape and abuse of women, was shot four times in the predawn hours in the house, in a gated community, police said.
Hours later after undergoing police questioning, Pistorius left a police station accompanied by officers. He looked down as photographers snapped pictures, the hood on his gray workout jacket pulled up, covering most of his face. His court hearing was originally scheduled for Thursday afternoon but has been postponed until today to give forensic investigators time to carry out their work, said Medupe Simasiku, a spokesman for the prosecution.
South Africans were shocked at the killing. But while Pistorius captured the nation's attention with his Olympic quest, police said there was a recent history of problems involving him. Police spokeswoman Brigadier Denise Beukes said the incidents included "allegations of a domestic nature."
"I'm not going to elaborate on it but there have been incidents (at Pistorius' home)," Beukes said.
Police in South Africa do not name suspects in crimes until they have appeared in court, but Beukes said that the 26-year-old Pistorius was at his home at the time of the death of Steenkamp and "there is no other suspect involved."
"We all pray for guidance and strength for Oscar and the lady's parents," Pistorius' father, Henke, said.
Neither Pistorius' agent, Peet van Zyl, nor coach, Ampie Louw, could be reached while Pistorius' own cellphone went straight to voicemail.
Pistorius' former coach, Andrea Giannini, said he hopes it was "just a tragic accident." Giannini said he believed that Pistorius had been dating Steenkamp for "a few months."
"No matter how bad the situation was, Oscar always stayed calm and positive," Giannini said. "Whenever he was tired or nervous he was still extremely nice to people. I never saw him violent."
Yet Pistorius had troubles in his personal life. In February 2009, he crashed a speed boat he was piloting on South Africa's Vaal River. Witnesses said he had been drinking before the crash and officers found alcoholic beverages in the wreckage, though they acknowledged at the time they hadn't conducted a blood test on the athlete. Pistorius broke his nose, jaw and several ribs in the crash, as well as damaged his eye socket and required some 180 stitches to his face.
In November, Pistorius was in an altercation with a local coal mining millionaire over a woman. Eventually, the two men involved the South African Police Service's elite Hawks investigative unit before settling the matter.
Pistorius owned firearms and posted a photograph of himself at a shooting range in November 2011 on Twitter, bragging about his score.
"Had a 96% headshot over 300m from 50shots! Bam!" Pistorius tweeted.
Police said that earlier reports that Steenkamp may have been mistaken for a burglar by Pistorius did not come from the police. Several local media outlets initially reported that the shooting may have been accidental.
A 9 mm pistol was recovered and a murder case opened against Pistorius.
Steenkamp, known simply as Reeva, was one of FHM's (formerly For Him Magazine) 100 Sexiest Women in the World for two years running.
Pistorius competed in the 400 meters and on South Africa's 4x400 relay team at the London Games, making history when his selection for South Africa's team was confirmed at the last minute. He also retained his Paralympic title in the 400 meters in London.

|Dear Sir
|Paris Oct. 11. 1785.
Colo. Franks and mr [expansion sign] Randolph arrived last night. this enables me to send copies of all the Barbary papers to Congress by the mr [expansion sign] Fitzhughs, together with the Prussian treaty. they wait till tomorrow for this purpose. Considering the treaty with Portugal as among the most important to the U.S. I [some] time ago took occasion at Versailles to ask the Portuguese Ambassador if he had yet received an answer from his court on the subject of our treaty. he said not, but that he would write again. his Secretaire d'Ambassade called on me two days ago & translated into French as follows a paragraph of a letter from his minister to the Ambassador. 'relativement à ce que V. E. nous a fait de ce qu'elle avoit parlé avec le ministre de 1'Amerique, cette puissance doit etre deja persuadée par d'effets la maniere dont ses vaisseaux ont eté accueillis ici: et par consequence sa majesté auroit beaucoup de satisfaction à entretenir [q. avec] une parfaite harmonie et bonne correspondence entre les memes etats unis. mais il seroit à propos de commencer par la nomination reciproque des deux parties des personnes qui, au moins avec la caractere d'Agens, informeroient reciproquement leurs constituents de ce qui pourroit conduire à la connoissance des interets des deux nations sans prejudice de l'un ou de l'autre. c'est le premier pas qu'il paroit convenable de donner pour conduire à la fin proposeé.' by this I suppose they will prefer proceeding as Spain has done, & that we may consider it as definitive of our commission to them. I communicate it to Congress that they may take such other measures for leading on a negotiation as they may think proper.
You know that the 3d. article of instructions of Oct. 29. 1783. to the Ministers for negotiating peace, directed them to negociate the claim for the prizes taken by the Alliance & sent in to Bergen, but delivered up by the court of Denmark: you recollect also that this has been deferred in order to be taken up with the general negotiation for an alliance. Capt Jones desiring to go to America proposed to me that he should leave the sollicitation of this matter in the hands of Doctor Bancroft, and to ask you to negotiate it through the minister of Denmark at London. the delay of Baron Waltersdorf is one reason for this. your better acquaintance with the subject is a second. the Danish minister here being absent is a third: & a fourth and more conclusive one is that, having never acted as one of the commissioners for negotiating the peace I feel an impropriety in meddling with it at all, & much more to become the principal agent. I therefore told capt Jones I would sollicit your care of this business. I beleive he writes to you on the subject.—mr [expansion sign] Barclay sets out in two or three days. Lamb will follow as soon as the papers can be got from this ministry. having no news, I shall only add assurances of the esteem with which I am Dear Sir / Your friend & servant

- How do you typically feel in your daily job? (Hint: You can say that you are full of energy, do not have a tendency to be tired}
- Would you mind working late in the evening?
- Can you tell me something about your customer service experience?
- Have you ever helped someone else to achieve their goal or helped to better themselves and if so, how?
- What are your strengths and weaknesses? (Hint: Communication skills are a good strength)
- Is there anything you believe will restrain you to do well in this job?
- What do you plan to do in five years time? (Hint: to mention that you would like to stay at Wal-Mart is probably the best possible answer)
- There is a colleague you have a difficult time with. How would you handle it?
- How would you approach a stressed or angry customer? (Hint – In Wal-Mart, you should approach anyone with smile)
In overall, job seekers do not consider the Wal-Mart interview to be extremely difficult. All you have to do is to follow the tips outlined in the first part of this article to present yourself in the right shape. Then couple it with some good answers to Wal-Mart interview questions and that's it! We believe you can make it and wish you all the best on your journey.
PS: If you really want to get this job at Wal-Mart and consider it as important for you, we recommend you to have a look at Wal-Mart interview guide from one of our authors- Jacob Gates. It's a fascinating e-book.

Nieve to the Bullpen
The tale of Fernando Nieve's nose keeps growing. Nieve who had troubled pitching in Colorado Springs due to asthma and high altitude is being moved to the bullpen for the remainder of the season because of a deviated septum. Apparently, the deviated septum has been causing Nieve to have trouble sleeping. The lack of sleep has cut down on his stamina to go deep into games as a starter. Hence the bullpen move for this season, surgery in the off-season and then reassess in 2009.

It was a potentially deadly blizzard roaring toward Utah on Tuesday. Everyone had plenty of warning, and many made preparations and got home early.
Did our saturation of information help save the day? Or was the Blizzard of Death an oversold blind date with a disappointing unibrow? It is an interesting topic.
People on Facebook, Twitter, TV and radio news, websites and newspapers, quoting the National Weather Service, put out constant warning of the storm. It was impossible to ignore. The weather people labeled it a "deadly" storm, to which the paranoid and rational alike could not have been faulted for asking, "Am I going to die tonight?"
Faceplant. Tuesday afternoon and evening's storm was indistinguishable from a hundred other storms I've lived through in northern Utah. It's nowhere close to the top 50 even.
Here are a couple of representative Twitter posts today:
@kris247 Kris Lander – Very cute, weather forecasters. I'll expect your resignations on my desk by morning. #snOMG
@msbutah Matt Blank – #SnOMG was more like #SnoMeh
So how did this happen? OK, the best-laid plans of weather forecasters are easy to mock, before and after. It's not the snow's fault the meteorological community collectively fumbled on the goal line. Really, this was reminiscent of many other predicted mega-storms in our area during my lifetime. The call was wrong. Hence, the mocking in the hours before the storm. "Ha ha, look, the sun is shining!" Nothing different here.
Which brings me back to Facebook and Twitter and smart phones and frequently updated websites. Everyone was talking about the killer storm all day Tuesday, pinged every few seconds by another post or tweet. People speculated, advised, complained, reported their personal preparations, etc. Lots of schools quickly announced closures. It was driven to the top of all minds. Everyone grappled with the anticipation.
With the benefit of decades of dealing with snow along the Wasatch Front, it's easy for me to conclude that this storm was different. Actually, the storm wasn't, but perceptions were. The storm was predicted to be bad and ended up being a washout, but both occurrences were run-of-the-mill. In pre-Internet times, most people heard or read a storm forecast or two and went about their business, then dealt with the snow when it came. Big deal.
Tuesday's information explosion amplified perceptions. It's probable that many people took precautionary measures they might not have done in earlier times. But it's also a certainty that in general we got suckered into a mass freakout.

Sundogs showed up at dusk around the state on Wednesday night.
These "winter rainbows" are caused when light hits ice crystals in the air. The crystals cause the light to bend and that creates the unique formation in the sky.
Many of you sent in photos of your view of the sundogs. Take a look at our photo gallery below.
We will likely see more sundogs. KELOLAND Meteorologist Brian Karstens says the mock suns appear when we have really cold temperatures.

Hot answers tagged sextante
I've written to the SEXTANTE team to ask about this issue. This is the response I got: Other people have reported that those "tricks" that worked for 10 do not work for 10.1. We haven't tested it, but there are plans for doing some development on the ArcGIS version in collaboration with a team from an american university, and definitely that's our ...
I have it configured and working well with QGIS 1.8. I decided to have SAGA in a folder without spaces. ( not sure if that affects function). Configuration screenshot attached.
You could craft your script to work with Gary Sherman's Script Runner plugin and run it from within QGIS. Re-running the script, after editing, should prompt Script Runner to reload the module and reflect your changes. See also: Script Runner's plugins.qgis.org listing. The essentials are to make sure you have a run_script function, which gets called by ...
So I tried some more things and came up with a solution. I will go over what I did step by step and hopefully this will work for others. First thing I did was uninstall qgis as completly as I know how sudo apt-get autoremove qgis sudo apt-get autoclean Then I removed the Ubuntugis-unstable PPA sudo apt-add-repository remove ...
EDIT: I'm going to see if this bug is related (http://hub.qgis.org/issues/8012). UPDATE: Looks like there are some issues with R in the sextante plugin for both qgis and qgis-dev. I'll file some bug reports if they haven't been already. But the two issues with R in sextante are: 1) In qgis (stable) SEXTANTE doesn't seem to use the rlib path in the Users ...
Try launch GRASS with grass --wxpython
In QGIS 1.9 you can choose between "Simplified interface" and "Advenced interface" under the SEXTANTE toolbox. Simplified hide all external algorithms, probably this is your problem.
In QGIS in "Processing" options, select "Options and configuration", SAGA and uncheck the option "Enable SAGA 2.0.8..." I'm working in ubuntu 12.04 and with SAGA 2.1.1
Isn't it obvious that you need to install SAGA first? If SAGA is installed check in SEXTANTE settings if it is activated. Install python-saga module. Also check out this post on setup SEXTANTE for Ubuntu. If none of this helps the reason may be that SEXTANTE is looking for SAGA modules in the wrong directory. The default path to SAGA algorithms is ...
Sextante has to be initialized, so it loads the algorithms and can later execute them. Call Sextante.initialize() before doing anything.
Sextante is mainly a library to be used from a gis desktop application like gvSIG, qgis or ArcGIS. If you want to use any of the algorithms of Sextante on postgis layer, just choose any a gis desktop app, load the postgis layer, and use Sextante on it, as if it was a shapefile. For example gvSIG comes with Sextante an a lot of algorithms without the need ...
A cool little trick with QGIS is being able to isolate all the user files and folders along with all the settings into a different location. QGIS can be started with the --configpath and --optionspath swtiches to redirect any of the settings or options to a different folder. An example of doing that with QGIS 2.0 is: SET QGIS=%PROGRAMFILES%\QGIS Dufour ...
So why doesn't it work? Look at your code, specifically the line with the attribute fields. You need to point R/QGIS directly towards the field data vectors unless you attach them beforehand. The following code works without issues for me (provided that you have installed ggplot2): ##Vector processing=group ##showplots ##Layer=vector ##Field1=Field Layer ...
You can use Save as Python script The result is a script that you can use in the Toolbox or in the Python console ##Extract raster values (shapefile)=name ##vectorlayer_inputvector=vector ##rasterlayer_inputraster=raster ##boolean_reprojectvectortorastercrs=boolean false ##output_layer_alg1=output vector ...
One method you might try to get GRASS commands to work in SEXTANTE involves how QGIS locates the external binaries needed to run those commands. Unless given explicitly defined paths, subprocesses in Python use the PATH environment variable to search for external binaries. For GUI apps on Mac OS X, only /usr paths are searched for binaries, not /usr/local ...
Here: -RETAB C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\user\sextante\tempdata\1353407599.88105.txt should be quotes around the complete path, as given for the other files.
This seems to be a problem with the Repository .xml. There are no entries listed in the repository browser (alphabetically) below Points2One see Bug 7279 http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7279 Hopefully it's fixed soon!
Install Sextante is in the official plugin repository. Go to Plugins => Fetch Plugins, look for Sextante in the list, select it and click install. In case it is not in the list, the main repository is probably missing. Go to the Repositories tab and add the following URL: http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml Proxy Settings In case there are ...
A simple way of getting rid of the attributes is to rightclick on the layer -> Save As... and check Surpress attribute creation. If you have many files, you could use: ogr2ogr -select field_list destination_file source_file to select fields you want (default is all!)
There are several tools you can use to Drop\delete columns. 1 - Atribute table "delete column" tool Open layer's attribute table; Start editing; Click on "delete columns" icon; Select several columns using Pressing Ctrl; Click ok; Stop\Save editing; 2 - Use Table Manager Plugin Install Table Manager Plugin using Plugins > fetch python plugins; Click ...
Full Easting and Northing coordinates values cannot be encoded in GRASS r.water.outlet in SEXTANTE-QGIS
This appears to be a bug in the Sextante interface, the original GRASS module allows of course real east and north coordinates (see manual). Please report this here: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/sextante/issues
If you are trying to export the output to a user defined folder, the correct way to do it is by stating "##myfolder=folder" As for the problems with the Modeler, your R script would have to produce a vector, a raster or an HTML file, in order to the output to be picked up as input for another tool. At the moment it's not possible to create .csv outputs. In ...
You can download the most recent version of the SEXTANTE plugin here. To install any plugins offline, you simply need to extract the downloaded archive to a folder and copy the extracted folder to the ~/.qgis/python/plugins/ folder. The .qgis folder can be found inside the private document ("my documents") folder of your user on windows Then start QGIS, ...
Sure you can create and run R scripts in QGIS 2.0. The basic sintaxis is the same as python, so start reading this: http://www.qgis.org/es/docs/user_manual/processing/console.html#creating-scripts-and-running-them-from-the-toolbox Then you can check, some example scripts installed by default, in your processing panel. If you need more help you can check ...
Aaaand I found it. Use processing.runandload, which loads the output layer into the table of contents after running the algorithm. processing.runandload("qgis:intersection", layer1, layer2, "memory:myLayerName") layer = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayersByName("memory:myLayerName")[0] # Should do error checking as well, but this works!!
yo can obtain a "movement direction raster" or simply "direction raster" with the tool "watershed", selecting only the correct output.
I found out what was wrong. No Layer call inside ggplot, here the right code: ##Vector processing=group ##showplots ##Layer=vector ##a=Field Layer ##b=Field Layer library("ggplot2") ggplot() + geom_point(aes(Layer[[a]], Layer[[b]])) Cheers
What happens when you run a .rsx script ? You must examine the Rutils.py script It creates a temporary R script with the desired command (/.qgis2/processing/processing_script.r) and use the Python module subprocess to execute it command = "R CMD BATCH --vanilla " + RUtils.getRScriptFilename() + " "+ RUtils.getConsoleOutputFilename() proc = ...
You can use the solutions given in Using processing algorithms from the console: But if you look at what's in the module (version 2.2): import processing dir(processing) no more getfeatures() or getFeatures() You can control this with a little function adapted from Script de Python para filtrar por patrón de texto los métodos de Clases en PyQGIS de José ...
I've updated the ubuntugis ppa - it should now be possible to in stall both qgis and saga (last version) from the ubuntugis ppa.

Speakers at the Redlands City Council meeting sometimes make comments that council members or city staff members take issue with.
The council and staff used to just sit quietly and let the speakers have their say, even the comments were inaccurate, misleading or impugned someone's character. It is, as Mayor Pete Aguilar so often tells the speakers , their three minutes.
But lately, council members, staff and even the city manager have begun speaking up to defend themselves.
Even when a resident's comments aren't inaccurate or insulting, sometimes city staff will investigate what was said to see if it holds up under scrutiny. They may respond to the speaker privately, or, on occasion, send a note to reporters whether they wrote about the comment or not.
That's what this is about. Redlands resident Arlen Einertson, who often attends council meetings and sometimes speaks up about things that concern him, spoke Dec. 18 about the Fontana Water Company's plan to cut its rates by 16 percent.
He wondered if Redlands would cut its rates as well, since the city saved $10 million on improvements it was required to make at its Hinckley water treatment plant, and expects to save $1 million a year on maintenance costs.
"We had rate increases in '09, '10 and '11 to pay for this plant, and since we don't have to pay it, I was wondering if (residents) would be in receipt of a refund of our water rates," Einertson said.
No response was made at the council meeting, but a few days later I got an email from city spokesman Carl Baker about his comments. Staff had researched the question and wanted to present their findings.
First off, with the exception of rates for 2013, the Redlands water rate adjustments did not include the Hinckley work, Assistant Utilities Director Chris Diggs said.
"This is due to the fact that Redlands adjusts/reviews its rates every two years, so including costs for future known improvements is not necessary," he said. "Additionally, it is important to note that the saving staff was successful in achieving, over $8 million worth, was included in the 2013 rates so no adjustment is necessary."
Further, Diggs notes, Fontana's rates are considerably higher than Redlands', and will remain so even after the 16 percent reduction. Diggs, by the way, worked for the Fontana company for 12 years, where he was assistant general manager and director of operations.
When Redlands staff compared water rates with Fontana, they found that Fontana charges $31.77 more per month than Redlands does. Even with a 16 percent reduction, Fontana's rates still will be about $20 more a month than Redlands.
Baker shared even more details than this, but this is the point: Redlands council members and city employees do take comments made by residents pretty seriously, and devote some effort and energy to responding, even if the response doesn't come during the council meeting.

Governing body considering third attempt to bring horse racing back to Great Leighs
Updated 4:10pm Wednesday 23rd April 2014 in News
OFFICIALS are reviewing plans to return horse racing back to a track on the Chelmsford/Braintree border which closed in 2009.
The British Horseracing Authority has confirmed they have begun assessing the 2015 fixtures allocation process application for Chelmsford City Racecourse, formerly known as Great Leighs.
If successful, the venue which was bought out by gambling firm Betfred in a joint venture with SIS and Bet Solutions International last December could see flat racing return after a six year break.
Previous applications to rejoin the racing fixtures list made in 2012 and 2013 have been turned down by the BHA for the all-weather surfaced venue.
It is expected to take a few weeks for a decision to be reached on the application.
When the course opened originally in April 2008, it was the first new track in Britain since 1927 but just nine months later was forced to shut after falling into administration.

Hello everyone. I'm a bit perplexed as to what this pain originating from the A4 pulley on my ring finger means and how bad it actually is. It doesn't hurt while climbing hard and I'm not sure what I did specifically to irritate it. The A4 does hurt when I do 2 things: 1. when I press on it but only sometimes and the pain is dull. 2. when i bend my finger and press on my first knuckle in an effort to bringing the tip of my finger to its base. I've been taping lately and it hasn't been getting worse but hasn't been getting better either. So my questions are this: Does this sound like an A4 pulley injury? If so: How bad does it sound? Should I be really worried about it? What kind of holds irritate the A4 pulley? Is taping useful in this situation? What taping method is recommended? I wonder if I just hit a sharp edge on the pulley and bruised it or something of the sort. Any advice and input is appreciated! Thanks, Lorenzo
Thanks for your input. It does seem like an odd injury seeing as it doesn't really hurt while climbing and from experience I wouldn't be able to do so with a partially torn or injured pulley. I'll look into DIP joint capsules today and see if this fits my symptoms. Also, i've had some issues with collateral ligaments from twisting fingers or crimping on oddly shaped crimps. Could this be related? Again, thank you for your input. It always helps getting outside perspective. Cheers, Lorenzo
I just injued my a4 on my left ring finger last night whilst leading through the crux of the nefarious white route at rnj north. I didn't hear any pop and there isn't really any swelling today. Just pain that is much less intense than when it first happened. I can't close this finger into a fist without pain/resistance but it doesn't stick out too much. I think I just sprained it. I'm hoping that it will fix itself in a couple weeks. Anyone have experience with both a minor and major injury to the a4 with some beta on what to expect? What to do to expedite recovery? What not to do? etc? Thanks!
