Change the Story A Pitch/Oc fan ficChange the StoryA Pitch/Oc fan fiction(no..no romance involved. Just old friends.)One of the greatest joys as a Guardian was recording these imaginative worlds and stories of children, no limit to what they could come up with. A land made of candy, a pirate who fought with eels instead of swords, a princess from a far away land who has golden hair. The possibilities were endless. I am Tella Stori, a guardian of children. I protect their imaginations and stories here in my floating library. Anything that was created by a child since the beginning of time is kept in my archives, mended to by my origami helpers. We record everything, no idea too small or too big. We keep record of stories of old, for children to read and learn from them, to be inspired by them. Most days I spend much time recording everything but there are times when I would visit the children to give them a little boost towards using their imagination. How I enjoy visiting them.However like all stories it canno

So what is a Bitcoin?
According to the Bitcoin site it is a "peer-to-peer currency. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new money or tracks transactions. These tasks are managed collectively by the network." There are a finite number of BTC issued (21 million), made available gradually.
How do you get them?
You can buy them on an exchange, but hurry, the services used to transfer actual money tend to shut these things down. The exchange rate is based on demand. One BTC is currently worth about $22. This is meaningless because by the time I finish writing the article and post it a BTC could be worth 75 cents.
You can also "bitmine" which means running bitmining software to decrypt BTC. Think Folding@Home only your computer isn't doing anything useful. As fewer and fewer BTC remain to be mined it takes more and more processing power to unlock each one. It could take a day to earn one BTC this way. The cost of extracting a BTC in terms of electricity and computer time probably exceeds its wildly fluctuating value.
If you want to speed things up you could always spend thousands of dollars to buy a bitmining rig. It pays for itself! Just not in the US dollars you used to buy the computer.
There can be hidden costs associated with bitmining as well:

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Darnell Dockett tweets about Daryl Washington suspension
The news Friday that Daryl Washington has been suspended for the entire 2014 season hits the Arizona Cardinals pretty hard.
One of the team's starting linebackers, Washington is coming off a season in which he recorded 75 total tackles, three sacks and two interceptions, numbers he tallied in just 12 games.
The previous season, Washington recorded 134 total tackles, nine sacks and one interception. Since being selected in the second-round of the 2010 draft out of TCU, he has quickly emerged as one of the best linebackers in the NFL and a key member of the team's defense.
But substance abuse problems led to a four-game suspension last season, and now they've cost him the 2014 campaign.
Friday, Washington's teammate Darnell Dockett tweeted some thoughts on the matter:
Old news to us, new news to y'all. My team and I continue to stay focus. Working every day and building chemistry and a winning attitude.— DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) May 30, 2014
The destination doesn't change, just taking a different route with different guys. A chance for someone else to rise up.. #whosNEXT— DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) May 30, 2014
Special thanks to all my teammates that's had been grinding from day one putting the team first , showing up everyday & it's not mandatory!— DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) May 30, 2014
I won't let us worry about what's if's. I will keep us focus on right now and what's a reality.. It makes a better story in the end. Watch!— DARNELL DOCKETT (@ddockett) May 30, 2014
The suspension, along with Karlos Dansby's departure in free agency to Cleveland, leaves the Cardinals pretty thin at the inside linebacker position. Second-year pro Kevin Minter is expected to start, as will possibly free agent pickup Larry Foote.
The Cardinals are also reportedly bringing veteran free agent Ernie Sims in for a visit.

I have been in an exclusive relationship for over a year. My SO is 12 years older than myself. We have a very good relationship - working out kinks here and there - but I do see this progressing to marriage. Whenever something bothers me, he is willing to discuss it and open to changing ways. He treats me with respect and love. He has a fairly high profile job in our community, so when he goes out on weekends, he likes to go to places a good distance from the area so he can enjoy himself and not be recognized. He was divorced over 10 years ago and definitely lived a bachelor's lifestyle. Lots of weekend drinking and women, engaged twice but neither marriage happened. I can see that I am different from the other women he has dated; most, if not all, he met through online dating services and they were mostly all relationships about sex and booze, or rather, sex as a result of a lot of drinking together. Upon reflection, he says they were meaningless relationships and he doesn't want that anymore.
However, he enjoys an arrangement that has developed since we have been dating. This is that when we go out on Friday nights, he drinks and I drive. We are going to a dinner tomorrow and I told him that I would like to be able to drink this time and he be the designated driver. I told him that, in fact, I think it's only fair that we alternate being the designated driver. This really threw him for a loop and he was quite uptight over it! He proposed that we both drink and take a cab home. I told him that ladies don't take cabs home from a bar ... that he should be able to control himself once in a while, let me drink and I should be able to rely on him to take care of me. I do not have much of a tolerance for alcohol - I can drink one beer and get a little giggly - so he thinks I should have one or two drinks and stop. He, on the other hand, has a very high alcohol tolerance, so he feels I should let him have his one night of the week to drink and have me drive home.
This discussion took place this evening. He sent a text when he got home that said he would agree to my proposal to alternate designated driver assignments because I mean more to him than alcohol. What do y'all think? And furthermore, do you agree or disagree about the cab issue?

If you've ever stumbled out of a LoDo bar on a certain weekend night in August to find yourself surrounded by bicyclists, don't worry -- it wasn't that fourth martini. Every year, thousands of riders gather near downtown at midnight for the Moonlight Classic, a twenty-mile, after-dark ride that wends its way all over the city. With help from the Denver police, event organizers close off some of the busiest streets to give cyclists a new, lunar perspective on the city. In the past, the course route has gone through LoDo, Cherry Creek, Park Hill, Capitol Hill and other neighborhoods. "Last year we had about 4,500 riders," says event director Scot Harris. "This year it may be 5,000. It's growing steadily." The ninth annual Moonlight Classic, which benefits Seniors, Inc!, kicks off at the State Capitol on August 18. This ride's a real howl.

Yes, but that last shot flatly "contradicts" the preceding shot and makes no sense. I watched the DVD last night but I'll delay replying in detail until I've watched the BRD. I will revert.
You need to take the whole film in context instead of just the final moment. For instance, when Ryker and his men are watching the funeral in the graveyard from the front of the saloon or even when they observed the funeral attendees leaving the graveyard to save the burning homestead. Ryker states that Starrett is keeping them together. They wouldn't be able to observe those events if the graveyard was hours away.

Worst managed launch ever
We have now reached the point of "cannot be fucked up any worse" with this launch. Every day I think I have reached rock bottom and there is a seismic shift allowing me to sink further into the abyss of hell. And I am doing this in a foreign language, which I have not spoken since 6th grade and I only had 6 weeks of training. Oh and of course the occasional movie trailer, hasta la vista baby. I texted my contact that he had to call me pronto as things were mucho mucho grande bad.
And speaking of mucho mucho grande bad my IBS is at an all time mess. Stress does not do well with my guts and my complexion. I walk around as if everything is fine but the insides know better. Due to an unfortunate accident this weekend I now own new slippers, a robe, a nightgown, 2 white towels and a Ralph Lauren throw. Don't ask.
The painting is complete and when it is dry I can vacuum, put things away and start decorating for Christmas. I wanted to buy stuff this weekend but I had to keep reminding myself, I do not know what I have packed away. Pictures of the update will be available soon. That reminds me I am still looking for washable rugs for the kitchen, is it us or does everyone else really have those expensive rugs in the kitchen that must be sent out to them cleaned. WTF.
We will be giving thanks at home alone and Big Daddy wants to do the whole 9 yards. We will see. I mentioned he might want to contact his mom to see if she would like to go to lunch on the weekend, or we could take her lunch. Whichever, we will see.
I am thinking about making cookies. It could happen.

Our Traditions
This was in Big Daddy's parking lot at work. In the middle of the city.
Yes, it is that time of year again, horseradish harvesting. BD loves his horseradish. In honor of the crop we are having a standing rib roast for dinner. With Yorkshire pudding. Delish.
Today we will have the annual fight over when it is time to put the wicker furniture away. It is past time and it will be done today.
This is gonna be a crazy week, work is already crazy and Big Daddy made the correct and manly decision to hire the painter I found. He is a professional painter and takes on side jobs. He was recommended by my manicurist who has known him for years. He paints for her and she is one picky bitch.
Painter will make a few visits for prep work during the week and paint the dining room, kitchen and back entry on the weekend.
I wanted a bakers rack for the spot we removed the counter top "breakfast nook". I finally admitted what I really need is a hall tree with a seat. We don't wear our work shoes in the house, where we walk is sometimes really nasty, and I am too old to dance around on one foot at a time. Now we can come in and sit down and take off our shoes.
That is when I noticed that the light fixtures, original to our move in over twenty years seemed ugly and dated. And the Martha Stewart type back door curtain looked as old as Martha.
So BD got a deal on lights, he is hanging them and taking down the back door curtain rod, and I will post pics when it is done. Kinda a before and after for the Punkin Head.

Latest Mishmash
The last rose, it was in the 20's last night.
Since I bitched about needing help I guess I should not complain about the yahoo they sent to help me. Let it be said I tried hard to be nice, but almost every person in the plant came up and asked me who the "Goofy Guy" was. That is an exact quote, "Goofy Guy". Just one example, he bought 2 chickens, I am hoping they were cooked, and kept them overnight in his car--because it is cold enough now. And he ate one on his drive into work.
And he never washes his hands.
And he looks for old pizza under the seats of his car when he is hungry.
Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck and yuckity yuck.
I have 2 new winter coats and both fit like a second skin if I do not have anything else on, including the glasses I hang on my neckline, they are both from Costco and they are both made in China. I think made by the company that does not make bigger bigger bigger, the one on Quipo Lu, pronounced Cheapo Lu. For goodness sakes they are a large and are skintight. Everything else I wear is a medium. WTF.
Yesterday I had a couple of the plants calling me and acting all loud and important and stating important shit, kinda like they were yelling at me. I have found the most effective response is no response. Then they gotta kinda repeat themselves to make sure you heard them and it takes the wind out of their sails, and then I say , uhuh. Got it.
The sort companies are still all f'ed up, not sending proper information, new reworks, new problems and I am home and not working right now.
That is because it is a UAW holiday. Veteran's Day. No the UAW does not memorialize or thank the vets on Veterans's Day. They give them a nod on Friday while they are driving up north for the start of gun hunting season or they are laying about their homes that some other went out and gave his all to protect this country.

Herding Cats
Herding Cats is indeed a strange occupation. I know this because I have had to participate in the herding.
I had to hire people to do a yard purge. This means you let a large group of people loose in the yard to find vehicles with issues and repair them. Let us say 1000 vehicles.
These people are people who for whatever reason do not have full time or sometimes even part time jobs. Because working for a sort company is an on call position. You can work up to say the top 3 to 5 people in the sort crew, but sometimes that is how big the pond is.
When I need to go into the yard you sometimes need 15 to 30 people. Just the experience of getting them all peed and into position to be trained is like stabbing your foot multiple times with a really dull screwdriver. And I swear to all that is holy, an hour later you need to send a recon team to find these people. They are all over the map.
And I can't get angry, for some of these people it may be the only job they get in a week or a month and I know they come from the local soup kitchen or homeless shelter, but WTF.
These are the people fixing the vehicles. And I am paying 30 dollars an hour per head for this shit.

These people are people who for whatever reason do not have full time or sometimes even part time jobs. Because working for a sort company is an on call position. You can work up to say the top 3 to 5 people in the sort crew, but sometimes that is how big the pond is.
When I need to go into the yard you sometimes need 15 to 30 people. Just the experience of getting them all peed and into position to be trained is like stabbing your foot multiple times with a really dull screwdriver. And I swear to all that is holy, an hour later you need to send a recon team to find these people. They are all over the map.
And I can't get angry, for some of these people it may be the only job they get in a week or a month and I know they come from the local soup kitchen or homeless shelter, but WTF.

Unbelievable and Sassy Pants
Those of you who remember my China days may remember her, I call her Sassy Pants. Big Daddy had her framed for my birthday. I like the change to the black frame.
The timing and the route to work has me just coming up a hill at daybreak, beautiful and today the sky was reddish at daybreak and I wondered if that was the red/pink that was the sailors warning. Well, when I left the plant this afternoon the wind was so strong from the southwest (don't know a thing about wind direction) that it practically walked me to my car. It was 65 degrees when I got home and tomorrow is supposed to be COLD. Will let you know.
Can't say much about my job because you could easily figure out where I work, but I will say this is a mess and getting hilarious.
Felt bad today on the way in and back home, I thought they sold Poppy's for Veteran's Day. Guess not. Thanks to all who served.

I am still around
Some of the style blogs that I read post pics of themselves. So this is my new haircut and color. I am happy with it at this point.
I hate not posting for so long, but this has been a long ugly time, this is one of the worst launches I have ever seen. Prolly the worst really. Thank God we are off for Voting Day or I might have collapsed. I got a flu shot yesterday after work and my arm is not happy. And they say massage it and I say, what-I cannot touch it or move it without pain. Fun.
Halloween was a bust here, even with the glowing red eyeballs in the skull we had zero trick or treaters. None, zip, nada. Very chilly and rainy prolly did it. I remember taking Punkin Head to the Emergency Room so many times on Halloween when he was small and cute. Versus grown up and handsome.
Bought lunch at the plant last week, I rarely buy lunch and sometimes just eat on the run. Fried fish, hush puppies and mac and cheese. Who could say no? I should have with a Barq's, which I also do not do-- this lunch was just shy of 10 bucks. And not all that good. Fish was good. Barq's was good. Hush Puppies were horrid.
But I did get some laughs, as I was sitting there I saw a bunch of zombies walk past me and said to myself, WTF are zombies doing in here eating this shit. Completely forgot that the line workers dress up for Halloween and was so stressed out did not even think to hide in the basement.

Weekend roundup
I am about to let out a long guarded secret, I am going to be 60 years old on my next birthday. I have been very sensitive about my age for years and then suddenly this year it has become less important. Not so unimportant I am telling people I work with, but I am loosening up a bit. I told Big Daddy I want a great and special birthday even though he and I are the only ones left here in the rusted out city in the rust belt. Since he was worried he had to have something special made for me he showed me some pics for my opinion. On the above I told him no, too fussy and not me. I want something I can wear every day.
Punkin Head asked for pics of the gorgeous hand loomed towels from Joanne, Cup on the Bus blog. She sent these to me and I am touched that someone would send me something so wonderful. I am saving them for Thanksgiving when we take food to my MIL's and I can show off my lovely towels. And yes, I will no doubt hand wash and press them. They are the bee's knees.
Went to get my pedicure yesterday and as always half awake as it a 9 am appointment on a Saturday and she is telling me she has this new product to try on me. And as I am leaving she tells me to report back if it lasts and is okay and doesn't chip. Wait a minute I just paid full price to be a test subject? No, I want OPI at these prices.
Watching the Lions at Wembly Stadium, 21-0 Atlanta at half time, WTF. Late breaking news, Lions won 22-21 on a kick when weeks ago they had no kicker. Must have been the tea.
Made the Trader Joe's pumpkin bread mix with added chopped walnuts. Not too bad, I mean nothing is as good as scratch but for a mix, as Miss Verita would say, not too shabby.
Got a call this morning asking if I knew that the vehicles were leaking. As in water leaking. No, I did not know that. I guess I am the only one and now this is the new big thing. Wet feet.
Big Daddy has a question for Esby, he is one of my long time readers and an owner of a dog. BD is convinced that dogs have been proven to have an internal compass to poop with the poles, they poop north south or south north, aligned with the poles. Can anyone confirm this? This has something to do with that circling that they do when they get ready for bed.
Gotta get my galoshes ready for tomorrow, that would be for inside not outside.

The next frontier for robotic automation is near human workers.
This shop justified the robot solely through improved use of labor. Other benefits came to light after the automation arrived.
Edited by Stephanie Monsanty
TDA Buddy offers custom end effectors for its line of industrial manipulators.
Peter Zelinski
Makino says the difficulty finding skilled employees is only one factor. The company plans to demonstrate various automation options at IMTS.
Peter Zelinski
A manufacturer struggles over its employees' potential reaction to automation. The struggle itself says something important.
Peter Zelinski
Using a horizontal machining center, this shop kept production going through two 10-hour shifts per day. That seemed like a lot, but a pallet system enabled the shop to go even further.
Peter Zelinski
Rather than being a replacement for employees, this machined parts supplier says robotic automation has led to a doubling of the size of its staff.

The Sox declined to give him arbitration, but he should be considered to make this bullpen that much better. Usually a year removed from Tommy John surgery a pitcher comes back better than ever. So here's hoping that the Sox bring him back and that this time Hill gives us more than the 31 2/3 innings pitched over the past three seasons.

Home » Articles » WWE pushing Mojo Rawley
A name you might want to remember is Mojo Rawley. The NXT star is said to be next in line to be called up to the main roster. There are even those within the company that believe that Rawley can be the one to carry WWE into the future.
January 3, 2014
While the company recently informed the developmental wrestlers that it will be harder to get called up to the main roster, that change does not appear to be affecting Mojo Rawley and WWE's desire to fast track him to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. The belief is that he is the WWE NXT star that will some day be the headliner for the entire company.
March 10, 2014
WWE loved touting that there were some very familiar faces in the audience at the big WWE NXT show this past week. One of those was Rob Gronkowski, the superstar tight end for the New England Patriots. The NFL player was there because of his friendship with Mojo Rawley, the developmental wrestler that used to play football.
March 2, 2014
One of the reasons why WWE is putting a lot of faith and expectation in Mojo Rawley is because he is a former NFL player. He had brief stints with the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals, but a severe injury derailed him. Management feels that his professional sports background gives him a little more credibility than the other developmental wrestlers.

When you sign a developmental contract with WWE, more often than not, you're going to be spending a good amount of time in training and not on television. Of course, when you have the experience that Kevin Steen has, the wait is a lot shorter. The former ROH Heavyweight Champion, who is now going by the name of Kevin Owens, is scheduled to make his debut on December 11, 2014 at the Takeover: R Evolution event.
November 22, 2014
Reports have surfaced that WWE intends on having Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi continue working as a tag team. A possible tag title run is being discussed. However, this might lead to some problems, as one of the things that Devitt reportedly requested when he signed his contract was that he not be forced to stay in developmental for too long of a period. Devitt feels that he has enough international experience to be qualified for the main roster.
November 22, 2014
When WWE decided to kill his push, Bo Dallas was understandably concerned about his spot on the roster. He is in even more jeopardy now, as reports have surfaced that Dallas has suffered an injury to his foot. He is said to need about two months off the road to recover. During that time frame, management might push someone else or even bring up a developmental wrestler in his place.
November 3, 2014
During a recent interview, Maxine revealed something very interesting that took place backstage in WWE. She stated that while she was working in the developmental program, she pitched an idea to management about her character and story line. About a day later, Maxine noticed that Aksana had been given that very gimmick that she had pitched to company officials.
October 31, 2014
A lot of eyes stay focused on the developmental program in WWE because that is usually where the next star will come from. The latest person to be viewed as the next one to be elevated to the main roster is Alexa Bliss. The diva has impressed management over the last couple of weeks, and some are even saying that she has moved past Ashley Flair in line. She is already ahead of Bayley and Sasha Banks at the moment.
October 29, 2014
Good news for wrestling fans who hope that the Undertaker remains in the industry in some sort of capacity after retirement. The legendary performer has agreed to work as an adviser for the WWE developmental program. He will make the occasional trip to the WWE Performance Center and provide evaluations and advice to the performers and the trainers.
October 24, 2014
Some interesting stuff came out of a recent interview that Mark Henry did with Newsday. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he met Rock in Canada while he was playing professional football. Henry was up there training with Bret Hart and his family. Henry recruited Rock into joining WWE with him. While they were in developmental, the two of them even shared an apartment.
October 11, 2014
Friday was a big day for Maria Kanellis. She is now a married woman. For those of you that do not know, her husband is ROH star Mike Bennett, whom she has been dating for approximately three years now. There were talks of WWE bringing him into their developmental program a while back, but nothing has surfaced since then, so the belief is that the ship has sailed on that.
October 11, 2014
Nick Dinsmore has been released by WWE yet again. This time, though, he was functioning as a trainer for the developmental program. Dinsmore, who formerly wrestled for the company as Eugene, spent a year with the company, and the belief is that management opted not to renew his contract once it expired. Some are saying that this move was done for budgetary reasons.
October 2, 2014
Reports have surfaced that Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi are going to be promoted to the main roster very soon. The two of them are established international stars, and management is not going to have them languishing in the developmental program. WWE knows that the promotion might upset some of the guys that have been in WWE NXT for a while, but it is a move that they want to do.
September 30, 2014
Since WWE likes to own the copyright to the names of their performers, most everyone is given a new moniker when they sign a contract. Prince Devitt is no exception. The international star will now be using the name Finn Balor while he works through the developmental phase. Depending on how fans react to the name, Devitt will more than likely be bringing that name with him to the main roster.
September 25, 2014
Earlier this month, it was revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25,000 a year. It has now been discovered that the amount is only for the male performers. The divas in WWE NXT, such as Ashley Flair, Bayley and Sasha Banks, are paid $50,000 a year, which is twice as much. The reasoning behind that is because management feels that the girls have more expenses in maintaining their looks.
September 18, 2014
While the hot rumors are pointing to Darren Young being eventually revealed by WWE as the man underneath the bunny suit, a lot of fans have been wondering who has been portraying the character on television as of late. Reports have surfaced that developmental wrestler Sami Zayn has been the one in the suit. He apparently portrayed the character on Monday Night Raw and at live events.
September 17, 2014
Professional wrestling and football have long had a connection, as a lot of players from the gridiron have successfully made the switch to the squared circle. Triple H wants that tradition to continue, so WWE is now targeting more football players to join their developmental program. While there are a couple of guys already on the roster with athletic backgrounds, the company is looking for guys with more name value. WWE is also willing to pay these guys more money than the wrestlers.
September 15, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that a couple of the WWE NXT performers have been booked for upcoming episodes of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Some further details have now been reported. Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze are only booked for a couple of weeks, while Adrian Neville, who is currently the heavyweight champion in developmental, is scheduled until the end of October.
September 14, 2014
When WWE announced the arrival of the Slam City cartoon series earlier this week, only guys from the main rosters were included as characters. A fan decided to go the extra step by drawing Sasha Banks, Camacho, Mojo Rawley and CJ Parker as characters for the show. Management has no intentions of including WWE NXT stars as of this moment, though.

Randy Jackson, brother of the late king of pop, was rushed to hospital this week after experiencing chest pains.
The 48-year-old, who was taken to Huntington Memorial in Pasadena, California, was reported to have had a mild heart attack.
He was working on arrangements to mark the first anniversary of his brother's death with a service at the pop star's resting place, Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
Randy's representative has urged fans not to worry, insisting: "He's OK."
The incident is another upset for the Jackson family, who were troubled by the news that a judge ruled Dr Conrad Murray is free to continue practicing medicine while he waits for the trial over Michael's death.

Kutser, L. Metsamaa, E. Vahtmäe and R. Aps Estonian Marine Institute University of Tartu, Tallinn 12618, Estonia email@example.com ABSTRACT KUTSER, T., METSAMAA, L., VAHTMÄE, E. and APS, R., 2007. Operative monitoring of the extent of dredging plumes in coastal ecosystems using MODIS satellite imagery. Journal of Coastal Research, SI 50 (Proceedings of the 9th International Coastal Symposium), 180 – 184. Gold Coast, Australia, ISSN 0749.0208 MODIS band 1 imagery is the only satellite data with acceptable spatial resolution (250 m) and sufficient revisit times (up to 4 times a day) potentially available for monitoring dredging plumes. The aim of this study was to determine the potential use of MODIS band 1 imagery in an optically sophisticated environment such as the Baltic Sea coastal waters for monitoring of total suspended matter in natural conditions and near dredging activities. It was found that there is linear correlation between MODIS band 1 (620-670 nm) reflectance and the total suspended matter concentration measured from water samples. The regression algorithm was used to produce suspended matter concentration maps and monitor dredging activities. The results showed that in such shallow water environments as the Estonian Coast resuspension caused by strong wind may increase the suspended matter concentration to the levels similar to those occurring during dredging. Areas affected by wind resuspension are much larger than the areas affected by dredging plumes. Therefore, the natural variability of suspended matter concentration has to be taken into account when estimating environmental impact of dredging activities on local ecosystems.

MODIS 1 2 band 1 reflectance images were geo-corrected, land and cloud areas were masked out. Atmospheric correction of theimages was performed using dark pixel method (CRANE, 1971) i.e. reflectance value of the darkest water pixel was subtracted from each image. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In 2004 we used MODIS band 1 data to monitor dredging near Muuga port (#1 in Figure 1). Water samples were taken in 11 locations nearly simultaneously with the satellite overpass. Correlation between the MODIS band 1 reflectance values and the total suspended matter concentrations in Muuga Bay is shown in Figure 2. The correlation is strong. However, the regression algorithm obtained (dashed trend line in Figure 2) shows that the minimum suspended matter concentrations can be 2.96 mg/l (if the reflectance value is zero). Suspended matter concentrations typical Figure 1.

Therefore, the suspended matter concentration was forced to be zero in case MODIS band 1 reflectance is zero (solid line in Figure 2) to get a more universal remote sensing algorithm for estimating TSM from MODIS band 1 data. The regression band 1 imagery in waters with strong optical gradient (TSM from algorithm obtained by us differs from that obtained by MILLER and almost 0 mg/l to 60 mg/l) like the Mississippi River plume in the MCKEE (2004) for Mississippi plume waters. Their algorithm was clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The Baltic Sea waters are TSM=1140.25*B1-1.91. relatively turbid and with high concentration of coloured dissolved organic matter. However, the variability in TSM is much lower than for example near the Mississippi plume.

A situation was observed where the surface layer (seen by satellites) and bottom the layer were clear, but turbidity was noted in a thin layer (about 1 m in our case) above the thermocline and was several times more turbid. In such situations the suspended matter can travel further than remote sensors indicate. Some preliminary knowledge about the local sediment type is needed to estimate if the remote sensing maps of TSM are valid from the surface to bottom or just for the surface (mixed) layer. CONCLUSIONS MODIS band 1 (250 m spatial resolution) data can be used for quantitative mapping of suspended matter in coastal waters despite the band not being designed for that purpose. The study has shown that MODIS band 1 data is an effective tool to map the extent of plumes arising from port dredging activities both spatially and temporally. The results showed that in natural conditions suspended matter values may reach those observed in a dredging plume. Areas impacted by wind resuspension are usually much larger than those impacted by dredging. Therefore, natural variability of local TSM values has to be known to adequately estimate the impact of dredging activities on local ecosystem. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue 50, 2007

Stop Common Core in New York State
As a citizen and taxpayer of the State of New York, I petition the Governor, the State Board of Education, the State School Superintendent, and the New York General Assembly to take every action necessary to rescind the State's participation in Race to the Top, the Common Core State Standards, any agreement to share student data with the federal government or any other governmental or private entity, any national-testing consortium , and any scheme (such as No Child Left Behind waivers) that requires such participation. New York's citizens, who pay approximately $13 billion annually in state and local taxes for education, have the constitutional right to exercise 100 percent control over the content standards in our public schools through our duly elected representatives in the New York Senate and the New York House.

CC has to go! Our kids are stressed. Our teachers are stressed. WE are all stressed!

Trish Treacy3 days ago Comments: Being a resident of NY and a 9th grade student, I can tell you from a direct point of view how pointless and unreasonable the Common Core is. I fear the future of participating states with our new learning standers. The Common Core does not teach children any logical way to do math nor will it help us in the future. This is not only unnecessary, it puts stress on students and is the reason that A+ students are now failing. The Common Core should not exist in any school district that hopes for their students to be successful.

Warwick Gets Our Hospital Green Fingered!
An exciting new arts project has been created by The University of Warwick. 'Growing Well: a recent history of growing your own' by PhD student Sophie Greenway will go up on display at University Hospital in Coventry at the end of November as part of an ongoing partnership with the Hospital's Healing Arts Programme.
'Growing Well' tells the story of food growing in Coventry over the twentieth century, including 'Dig for Victory' during the Second World War, an experimental housing project that was to include organic growing on site, an attempt to repackage allotments as leisure gardens, and the establishment of the famous organic gardens at Ryton, now called Garden Organic. Visitors can also learn what UHCW is doing to promote healthy eating and the outdoors, including the Hospital's award-winning Jubilee Nature Reserve.
On Tuesday 25th November between 10am and 1pm there will be an event held in University Hospital's Outpatients department to celebrate the new exhibit and promote growing and eating well in Coventry and Warwickshire. To find out more and add your own memories to the project visit www.growingwelluhcw.wordpress.com.
Sophie Greenway is a PhD student at the Centre for the History of Medicine, and has also worked as a history teacher and museum curator. Sophie's project, entitled 'Growing well: Dirt, health and the home gardener in Britain 1900-1970' explores links between the environment and health in the context of domestic vegetable growing. She investigates the historical reasons why some people prefer to buy polished carrots, whilst others regard the muddy ones from a local veg box as more healthy.
The Healing Arts Programme at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust compliments patient care and welfare through a diverse range of activities, including visual and performing arts. The programme is funded by UHCW Charity and helps soften the hospital with quirky art exhibitions, creative workshops in ward dayrooms and music. For more information visit www.uhcwcharity.org/art.

European History Research Centre (EHRC)
The Centre's first formal conference, Napoleon's Last Stand: 100 Days in 100 Objects, was held on July 1st 2014 and exemplifies the Centre's aspirations. There were twenty-six papers in the course of the day, from specialists in French, English, Italian and German studies; historians, political scientists, and musicologists; contributors from North America, France, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Spain and from all over Britain; and with discussions of everything from military planning and organisation, domestic diaries and letters, women pamphleteers in Belgium, romantic poetry and painting, millenarian prophecy, Egyptian national anxieties, popular catechisms in Germany, local elections and national plebiscites in France, the battle of Waterloo, and English, French, Dutch, Spanish and Russian caricature. Moreover, the day concluded with a concert of English, French and German songs relating to the 100 Days and the battle of Waterloo, and a performance of scenes from a play written by a British soldier in captivity in France during the 100 days. Cross-national, interdisciplinary, innovative, and bringing together a wide audience of scholars, the event was an auspicious start to the Centre's activities. The papers from the conference will form the basis for the web-exhibition that will be launched in January 2015and will trace the events of the 100 days and worldwide reactions to them over the subsequent six months.

Guest Rorke Miller shares simple tips for using and creating a stepped dowel system as opposed to traditional dowels.
More in Home Improvement
Traditional pin dowels work well in edge joining, but aren't good for pegging or pin joining. A stepped dowel is used in conjunction with a stepped drill bit to create a very specific pilot hole for the dowel. The wide head of the stepped dowel allows it to work in cross grain, thus relieving one of the shortcomings of traditional dowels.
Using a Stepped Dowel
Stepped dowels can be used in melamine and MDF as well as a variety of woods. The dowels themselves are available in different wood varieties. They also come in different sizes for use with 1/2" and 1-1/2" stock.
With wooden dowels, a router can be run along the edge of the board after making the joint, which is not possible with screws or nails. Stepped dowels can also be used to take the place of screws in decking.

Savinelli Signs on Plasencia for Puro
David Savona
Posted: June 25, 2010
Savinelli has finished blending a new Nicaraguan puro made by the Plasencia family in Nicaragua. The Savinelli Nicaragua Reserve is made with Nicaraguan criollo seed wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler, and is rolled at Plasencia's Segovia Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The gently pressed cigars are medium dark, and packed in burgundy red boxes of 20. The line comes in four sizes: Corona Gorda, which measures 6 5/8 inches by 48 ring, and retails for $6.10; Robusto, a 5 by 52 cigar that sells for $6.35; Toro, which measures 6 by 50 and sells for $6.60; and a 6 1/2 by 52 Torpedo that sells for $7.10.
