Coalbed methane, or CBM, is a natural gas produced from coal seams or adjacent sandstones. In 1994, US coalbed methane reserves were 9.38 tcf, which was less than 6% of the domestic natural gas reserves. Production in 1994 was 777 bcf, or 4% of the natural gas production of the lower 48 states. Commercial production occurs in approximately 10 US basins. The major producing areas are the San Juan, Black Warrior, and Central Appalachian basins. CBM plays are now international with tests or pilot projects in about 15 countries. Coalbed methane is produced in Queensland, Australia, and the UK, and pilot projects are underway in China and India. Independent operators are the most active CBM exploration companies in the US. Internationally, both majors and independents are actively seeking to expand the industry.

Sarah Wayne Callies and Wentworth Miller
Fox's Prison Break wrapped up its four-year run (and run, and run, and run...) on Friday night, as Michael finally decided into whose hands he could entrust Scylla. Along the way, a pair of familiar faces resurfaced, justice was meted out, and, in a four-year flash-forward, a variety of fates were revealed.
It was during that epilogue that the producers uncorked one final — and fatal — twist. If you have finished watching the two-hour series-ender, read on for executive producer Matt Olmstead's answers to the burning questions you likely have.
Prison Break
The nosebleeds can no longer be ignored.
Since almost the start of this season and this Ocean's 11-like caper being orchestrated by Michael and the Fox River Remnants, stalwart Scofield has been plagued by intermittent nosebleeds. Thus far, Linc has taken notice, and he obviously suspects what the cause might be, having seen his younger brother exhibit the same symptoms when he was 11.
Those with good memories recall that Michael's mother was felled by cancer when he was a kid. Perhaps her son has been in remission with his own form of the stubborn disease?
Get the scoop on when the mystery will be solved, after the jump. Plus: Wentworth Miller weighs in on the prospect of Michael dying at the end of the series.

Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller, Prison Break
Michael Scofield has been here before — almost. The first season of Fox's Prison Break (Mondays at 8 pm/ET, Fox) culminated in the tattooed hero's carefully planned escape from an American penitentiary, but this season, the stakes have been raised: Can Michael (played by Wentworth Miller) bust the mysterious Whistler out of Sona, the hellish Panamanian jail, along with a crew of backstabbing inmates — and rescue his nephew at the same time? And is delivering Whistler to The Company's diabolical agent Susan B. Anthony really going to save anyone?
"It is taking all my wherewithal to keep from spilling the beans," says Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, who plays Susan.
The season's 13th and (possibly) final episode, airing tonight, ratchets up the action in true Prison Break fashion — by toying mercilessly with its char

Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, Prison Break
Even by Prison Break (Mondays, 8 pm/ET, Fox) standards, the plot twist that brought the fall mini-season to a close in November was a stunner. The seemingly saintly Whistler (Chris Vance), whom Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) had been trying to free from jail since the start of the season, appeared to be in cahoots with mysterious villain Susan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe).
The Whistler bombshell, coupled with the shortage of new programming due to the writers' strike, makes Prison Break's Jan. 14 return all the more enticing. A five-episode run (possibly more if the strike is resolved soon) will give audiences their escapist fix well into February sweeps.

Question: I have been a fan of Prison Break since it began. It was a show that had me on edge, especially last season. I think Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell play their characters well and I have had a love/hate relationship with some of the other characters as well. But after the tasteless act of having Lincoln find Sara's head in a box, I wonder where this show is really going. And what are these rumors about a possible Prison Break spin-off, with one of the new characters and set at a women's prison? I personally feel that Prison Break should have ended last season, with Michael and Lincoln being exonerated and Lincoln living happily ever after with his Doc. I know years ago shows would go on for five to 10 years, but nowadays, some shows just don't have the lifespan or storylines to carry into that timeframe. I think after this season, we should let go of this story and just let it be. It should have ended last year on top, but I feel like it's spiraling out of control. What ...

Ok, we all know that minimising tan lines on holidays in key for many…but seriously, is this taking things a little too far?
If tight Speedos have the tendency to make you a tad uncomfortable, then avert your eyes now!
The Towie lads, Henry Derbidge and Bobby Norris were spotted in Marbella with the most unusual choice of swimwear, and although they are designed to keep tan lines to a minimum, this design would just leave the strangest tan line-we think we would prefer a white bum any-day!
We want to know, how do they even stay up?
These 'swimming shorts', which really are the picture of the term 'banana hammock', are probably the oddest we've ever seen. That's dedication for you!

Implementation of a 3D Ambisonic Based Sound Reproduction System
The implementation of a real time 3D rendering engine for sound reproduction via headphones is presented. The system is implemented using Pure Data (PD by Miller Puckette) an open source real-time computer music software. To improve source localization capabilities head tracking as well as room simulation have to be incorporated. The proposed system uses a virtual ambisonic approach that results in time invariant HRTF filter.

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), together with states, developed model state legislation for use in developing bills to improve safety at highway-rail grade crossings without gates or barriers.
The model legislation is intended to help states address obstructions limiting a driver's view of an oncoming train.
Between 2001 and 2005, accident reports submitted by railroads to FRA show that 689 collisions resulting in 242 injuries and 87 fatalities occurred at highway-rail grade crossings with sight obstructions.
Development of the model state legislation was required by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008. To view the model legislation, click here.

Who Am I, Anyway? Changing Natures in the Forest of Arden
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
"As You Like It" is considered a romantic comedy, and it certainly has the right "boy meets girl" ingredients. In fact, by the end of the play four boys meet girls. But though the relationship of the central couple, Rosalind and Orlando, is a core element in the work, and is heard in a minor key in the wooings of the three other couples, Michael Boyd's production for the Royal Shakespeare Company reminds us that all kinds of love are on offer here. There is parental love, filial love, the love of servant for master, and vice versa; there is instant love, devoted love, rejected love — and all of them are put to the test in the Forest of Arden.

CHEGO Soft Opening - Roy Choi of Kogi BBQ opens Rice Bowl concept on Westside
Roy Choi and his gang of Kogi BBQ fame just opened CHEGO at 3300 Overland just south of the Freeway was hopping tonight . A young half Asian crowd was having fun at 9 pm with 50's music playing in the background. The owners including Chef Roy Choi were circulating getting feedback. They have been having their soft opening since Wednesday and for now plan to be open Tuesday to Sunday 6 pm to midnight.
No Korean Tacos, but affordable Rice Bowls. with Korean Fusion approach. Starters for $4 or 5 are meatballs, Korean pickles, Fennel Salad, asparagus salad, Caesar Salad and the most expensive dish on the menu a $12 Spinach Salad with Asian ingredients.
Rice bowls ($7 or $8) feature Prime rib, Pork Belly, Chicken or Kim Chee Tofu, all with and egg, different vegetables and exotic sauces. Very creative and tasty. We tried the Prime Rib, Chicken and Kim Chee and liked the Chicken and Kim Chee the best. Many other customers liked the Pork Belly.
Drinks are Korean soft drinks, Mexican sodas and American sodas.
When you walk in, you place your order and take a number on a stand that IDs. You help yourself to drinks in a room behind the cash register and then select a table where your order is delivered in cardboard takeout bowls. The Alibi Room has Roy Choi's Kogi Korean tacos and the Kogi breakfast burrito, but it is a bar and kids aren't allowed. This is a kid friendly casual place, as long as the kids can handle the spiciness of the Korean ingredients. This will be a popular takeout place in the neighborhood.
Parking was OK, but once word gets out, parking could become a problem. If the sleepy Brazilian cafe next door jazzes up their offerings, they will be able to benefit from the sure to be CHEGO overflow crowds.
An excellent addition to the ethnic eateries on the Westside. Congratulations to the Roy Choi gang.

Just noticed you put in that it starts to open at 6p... I guess I showed up too early :(
This is such a good idea. Glad to hear it was tasty. I drive by that location all the time and I wondered how parking is going to be. I could really see that being a problem. It is good to see prices are in the $10 ball park. Even though I haven't liked most of the trucks I've tried, Kogi did stand out when it started. I remember trying it when they were parked in front of a Korean church north of Union Station. Really liked them, but something can be said for having a place to sit down. Saw the decor online and it looks pretty fun. Can't wait to try it.

re: Jase
Yup! A few doors down from Rio Brasil... I agree with the parking issue (which is why I attempted to go for lunch yesterday). The neighborhood it's right by is VERY dense (So street parking is a bear at night as everyone comes home) and that parking lot is SO badly designed...
Plus, although it's not at ALL far from Culver City I would be tempted just to bike there but it's also on that big @$$ hill on overland.... Being a hot sweaty mess and then going for a rather rich heavy rice bowl just is not a good times... LOL!!!
re: Dommy
Yeah, the first time we went to Rio Brasil, we decided to walk like we usually do to avoid parking issues. I blanked out and was thinking 3300 was closer than I thought. We really worked up an appetite by the time we walked into Rio Brasil. It was a little over four miles, double our usual walking radius for a meal. I always think that hill isn't as steep as it actually is until I get on it.
re: streetgourmetla
if you like eggs and rice, try cracking a raw egg into a bowl of white rice and drizzle it with a little soy sauce. optional: throw in some bacon, parsley, and black pepper. rice carbonara. =)
that said, i'll have to check this place out soon. hopefully, it isn't all hype. i love rice bowls.
Went on Thursday night and thought it was just OK. Not bad but not special either. I had the beef bowl. Its about $9. Roy's a nice guy and they have great buzz but I'd rather get a chicken teriyaki bowl from some of the spots on the chicken teriyaki thread than return to chego any time soon.
re: Senor Popusa
Chef Roy is the next superstar chef in Los Angeles.
Chego is a hit.
Been twice already, can't wait to go back.
The bowls are great so is the desert.

re: magic man
mmm. sand.
re: wilafur
I thought it was a bit dry...
re: Servorg
alright, let's keep it real chowish.
re: QualityMart
Ok, I'll answer my own question since I stopped by tonight (Friday, third official night).
First of all, in response to the OP who said: "the most expensive dish on the menu is a $12 Spinach Salad with Asian ingredients", you either didn't pay close enough attention or you don't have the greatest irony radar. :) That's literally the name of the item, "The $12 Salad", but it's $7. Dunno about you, but I laughed at it. Tap water is also $FREE.99. (Say it out loud, lol.)
I like the atmosphere, nice dark wood or maybe fake-but-good-looking-wood floor (seems new, no scratches) and very clean. Otherwise what you would expect for a fairly cramped rice bowl joint. Place was hopping, but turnover was fast so it wasn't a clusterf**k or anything like that -- although I could easily see that happening if it got mobbed. When I got there I waited behind 5 people, no more than 3 or 4 minutes to order, but on my way out there were about 10 people in line.
I got the "3PM Meatballs" and the "Sour Cream Hen House", aka chicken bowl. I had high expectations for the meatballs but was somewhat let down, mainly because they were too dry. I was hoping for some serious meat juice in every bite, but for some reason they just didn't have it, even though they tasted quite fresh. But the Korean-inspired flavorings that came both underneath and on top of the meatballs were pretty great, and definitely saved the dish from being a dud.
As a fan of both plain-jane teriyaki bowls (as per a recent thread here) and the pretty much all of the kogi truck menu, I thought that the chicken bowl was perfect. Let's start with the rice: it was, IMO, exactly the consistency you hope for in a rice bowl -- a sort of homogeneous clumpy stickiness that makes it easy to scoop up and grab lots of sauce and meat with. The chicken itself was fairly close to the chicken you get in a kogi taco, but the "sour cream" part of the name was due to the fair but not overdone dousing of spicy cream sauce, and the vegetables (chinese broccoli, onions, I think some basil, maybe some other stuff) were stir-fried to the kind of al dente consistency you expect from an authentic SGV Chinese establishment, and definitely made the dish. Add on top of it a perfectly fried egg with a bright yellow yolk that jiggled when the bowl was placed down, and you've got $7 of rice bowl perfection. I should add that the dish was fairly spicy. Not enough that I batted an eyelash, but I could see some kids or people who complain about spiciness perhaps being overwhelmed.
One thing I'll say with nothing other than visual evidence: the beef bowl looked small, smaller than the chicken bowl. I'm sure I'll try it, but it seemed like less of a deal than the chicken bowl, and it's $2 more. Maybe it's really filling, or just an optical illusion due to the different bowl shape.
I will definitely be back!
re: QualityMart
QM: Thanks for the correction on the $12 salad .... I was writing up the review from memory and obviously didn't pick up on the marketing name ....
We liked the chicken bowl a lot too. The prime rib bowl was substantial enough but the night we went it was a little dry. However I wouldn't be too judgemental during the soft opening.
re: andytseng
It's not bibimbap, according to Roy. It's Roy's Korean style rice bowl.
If you're not in the area I wouldn't go out of your way for it. But if you live with in walking distance like I do, it's the type of restaurant the area sorely needs.. Quick, tasty and (mostly) healthy. And I don't have to give up my parking spot in the valley of Apt bldg's. Almost as good as the champagne brunch at the Overland Cafe ;-)
I tried Chego tonight, and even with elevated expectations, I was impressed. It is a pretty small space, and was full when I got there at 8:15pm, and there were about 6 people in line to order in front of me and a couple standing waiting for a table to open. I decided to get mine to go. I ordered the Sour Cream Hen House, and it was very tasty. Had a nice creamy, spiciness that slowly built, but was not too spicy (had to add some Rooster sauce). Veggies were fresh and crisp and the rice was perfectly done (and I'm not a big fan of rice, but I ate every last one).
My only complaint (other than it being crowded - just wait til word spreads, and parking sucks) would be that I thought there could have been more chicken. But at $7, it was still a good value.

re: mdpilam
Had takeout from Chego again tonight, to try the Prime Rib Bowl, and was disappointed. The prime rib (was it even prime rib?) was undercooked, and didn't exude much flavor. I didn't taste any horseradish or wasabi in it. Not bad, but the Hen House was definitely better - and $2 cheaper.
3300 Overland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034
Wife and I went to Chego on a whim last night. Parking was horrendous. Because of all the apartments, street parking is highly impacted. I dropped her off and parked 2 blocks away on Overland. I would think all the neighbors and local businesses would be really upset.
The place is popular because there were over 50 posts on Yelp in a 2 week period for Chego.
There was a long line of people ordering and every table in the small place was full. We chose to order take out. Wife had the Hen House and I chose the prime rib plus a side of asparagus. We are not familiar with bibimbop so we cannot really compare Chego with other places, but we were told that Chef Roy was re-inventing the rice bowl. If so, both dishes were really wonderfully flavored, and my prime rib was very tender. Each bowl had a bed of rice with fried egg, spinach and interesting flavors, topped with the meat. Veteran Korean gourmands could do better commentary on the quality of the food, but let's just say we loved it. Parking and seating problems aside, it was worth the trip, and reasonable for what we had. $9 for the prime rib, 7 for the Hen House, 5 for the asparagus. The only down side was the asparagus was just okay.
Service was very good and friendly despite the chaos. We even saw Chef Roy walking around talking with people.
3300 Overland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034
Thanks for these reviews, and we'll have to try this since it's fairily near us, although the menu and ambience truly sound like it would be more appropriate and appetizing for lunch.
All the mentions about the bad parking have roused me from a long posting hiatus to post a public service message. Parking is indeed terrible around there, and Overland can be very, very dangerous--the steep hill and the crowded surroundings can confuse drivers. A friend of ours was killed crossing Overland near that intersection a couple of years ago. Please be careful.
We live in the neighborhood. We stumbled upon Chego during the soft opening and went there last night. We've tried about seven of their dishes and we are not fans. It's seems like a big "slop" of stuff thrown together with a tremendous amount of MSG. Prices are good and the concept is great. We really wanted to like it, but we didn't and we won't be going back for a while.
3300 Overland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034
"Chego" means "the best" in Korean, and in my opinion, it is! I've been twice so far (Wednesday and Friday) and both times (8:30p and 7p), had no problem finding parking within the block. I've had: asparagus, meatballs, kimchee bowl, pork belly bowl, prime rib bowl and the dessert. Not all at once, though it has been the site of some gluttonous eating. The complexity of the flavors, the level of the cuisine really astounds me for the price. Two people for $20. Wow!
My favorite was definitely the pork belly bowl--with peanuts, seems a little Thai inflected. Great flavor and texture and tons of umami! Next favorite bowl is the kimchee bowl--mainly because of the sneaky chicarones in there--great texture and flavor in a bowl with soft tofu--a very mild bowl if people are seeking something a little tamer. I found the prime rib bowl to by my least favorite (though still delish)--there is a very strong wasabi cream in there with the fried onion bits that will clear our your sinuses.
As for the smaller plates--the asparagus was divine with a complexity of sauces and flavors that I have never found elsewhere. the meatballs with polenta--toothsome and yummy.
I strongly recommend trying Chego--not only is it fantastic, but the cost:ingredient ratio is ridiculous.
The staff is underwhelming in general, but the ambiance (a bit loud, but fun) is really young and fun. I also would like to note that whoever chooses their music has amazing taste--eclectic and interesting.
Three things I'd change? the dessert (oddly frozen yogurty with its only really great quality being the perfectly toasted almonds), the scramble for a table (they say it's "communal seating" but it's awkward when you're alone and trying to sit with a couple on a date) and the lack of booze (though I imagine that would seriously slow down table turn--but also perhaps be another source of revenue).
Overall assessment--i'll be back again and again and again and again and again and again...
re: BunnieBear
I've been there for my sixth visit (or so)--staff has really warmed up and is much friendlier.
Also--NEWS FLASH! You can bring your own beer or wine (and cups, since they don't have glasses)! Yay! Just be nice when there's a crowd of hungry people staring you down (a la Fathers Office)...

Approximately 150 conservation professionals from across New England and eastern New York met in New Hampshire Nov. 13 to share strategies on how to advance collaborative conservation throughout the region.
Sponsored by Highstead, the annual Regional Conservation Partnership (RCP) Network Gathering brought together leaders from the academic, state and federal agency, non-profit, and philanthropic sectors. A highlight of the conference was the announcement of a $1 million grant from the Jessie B. Cox Trust that will help grow the RCP Network and increase land protection throughout New England.
Regional Conservationist Bill Labich was awarded the Eliot Wadsworth Litchfield Hills Greenprint Award Oct. 18 in recognition of his work with Regional Conservation Partnerships (RCPs) across New England.
The award was given by the Housatonic Valley Association (HVA) at its annual meeting and awards ceremony. HVA sponsors the Litchfield Hills Greenprint Collaborative, one of the many RCPs that Labich works with throughout the region.
Highstead had a strong presence at the annual Land Trust Alliance Rally in Providence last month, with workshops and sponsorships highlighting local and regional conservation efforts. Highstead provided funding for New England scholarships and sponsored a well-attended New England conservation breakfast hosted by Highstead Fellow Jim Levitt.
Highstead was also represented by Regional Conservationist Bill Labich, who led a Regional Conservation Partnership (RCP) workshop and three-hour RCP seminar, and Conservation Director Emily Bateson, who presented at two climate conservation planning workshops.
Highstead is pleased to welcome our 2014 conservation interns, Mary Buchanan and Chloe Ginsburg.
Mary Buchanan graduated from Connecticut College after studying biological sciences, and ecology and environmental studies. Mary will be conducting research for the five-year anniversary of Wildlands and Woodlands and producing geographic information systems (GIS) maps for the Hudson to Housatonic Initiative focus areas and Fairfield County Regional Conservation Partnership's countywide strategic conservation map.
Chloe Ginsburg graduated from Drake University in Iowa after studying environmental policy and politics. Chloe will help with planning the Regional Conservation Partnership Network Gathering, as well as Hudson to Housatonic events and workshops.
Highstead (on behalf of the Fairfield County Regional Conservation Partnership), along with more than two dozen local and regional partners, has launched a new conservation initiative aimed at protecting imperiled streams, drinking water reservoirs, and plant and wildlife habitat. The Hudson to Housatonic Initiative (H2H) will be led by Highstead, Westchester Land Trust, Mianus River Gorge, and Housatonic Valley Association. H2H will focus on engaging landowners in 13 focus areas that straddle town or state lines and contain land with streams that drain into reservoirs or habitats that are likely to adapt to climate change in the future.
This project is funded in part through a grant awarded by the U.S. Forest Service, Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry. H2H is part of the Landscape Scale Restoration Program of the U.S. Forest Service, Department of Agriculture. This institution is an equal opportunity provider. For more information click here.
Artist Dorie Petrochko, pictured left in costume, chats with fellow artist Frances Topping as other attendees admire the many works of art featured in the show.
Highstead's 2014 Fall Art Exhibit kicked off with a well attended opening Sept. 7, which featured several works of art from the Greater New York Chapter of the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators.
The exhibit, titled "Echoes: An Homage to Plants and Animals in Art," showcased the strong influence of natural flora and fauna on art throughout human history.
Several featured artists participated in an artists' discussion, describing their pieces to the audience. Artist Dorie Petrochko, whose piece titled "Cypress Vigil" addresses the mass hunting of birds for women's hats in the 1800s, performed a skit with fellow artist Judy Aronow highlighting the subject of her work.
The summer 2014 issue of Connecticut Woodlands magazine features an article by Highstead Ecologist Ed Faison, which details how forests have changed since Connecticut's settlement three centuries ago. Analyzing witness tree data and pollen from wetland sediments offers insight into the types and abundance of trees present throughout the region's history.
In addition to looking back in time, the article also looks forward, posing the question of what Connecticut's forests will look like in the future. As noted in the article, development, carbon dioxide emissions and the amount of forest cover will largely shape the forests of the future.

The Wildlands and Woodlands Stewardship Science: Manual For Long-Term Forest Monitoring was released last month and aims to help groups and individuals who own conserved land monitor their forests.
While most existing forest monitoring programs are designed to be used by trained forestry and ecology professionals, Stewardship Science -- authored by Highstead ecologist, Ed Faison and collaborators from the Harvard Forest, Brandeis University, and the University of Maine -- can be used by landowners, land trusts, conservation commissions, and academic institutions.
Long-term monitoring helps participants gain a better understanding of their land and make more informed land-use and management decisions.

|Evaluation of Travis Peak gas reservoirs, west margin of the East Texas Basin
|Li, Yamin
|Gas production from low -permeability (tight ) gas sandstones is increasingly important in the USA as conventional gas reservoirs are being depleted , and its importance will increase worldwide in future decades . Travis Peak tight sandstones have produced gas since the 1940s . In this study , well log , 2D seismic , core , and production data were used to evaluate the geologic setting and reservoir characteristics of the Travis Peak formation . The primary objective was to assess the potential for basinward extension of Travis Peak gas production along the west margin of the East Texas Basin . Along the west margin of the East Texas Basin , southeast -trending Travis Peak sandstones belts were deposited by the Ancestral Red River fluvial -deltaic system . The sandstones are fine -grained , moderately well sorted , subangular to subrounded , quartz arenites and subarkoses ; reservoir quality decreases with depth , primarily due to diagenetic quartz overgrowths . Evaluation of drilling mud densities suggests that strata deeper than 12 ,500 ft may be overpressured . Assessment of the geothermal gradient (1 .6 ?F /100 ft ) indicates that overpressure may be relict , resulting from hydrocarbon generation by Smackover and Bossier formation potential source rocks . In the study area , Travis Peak cumulative gas production was 1 .43 trillion cubic feet from January 1 , 1961 , through December 31 , 2005 . Mean daily gas production from 923 wells was 925 ,000 cubic ft /well /day , during the best year of production . The number of Travis Peak gas wells in ?high -cost ? (tight sandstone ) fields increased from 18 in the decade 1966 -75 to 333 in the decade 1996 -2005 , when high -cost fields accounted for 33 .2 % of the Travis Peak gas production . However , 2005 gas production from high cost fields accounted for 63 .2 % of the Travis Peak total production , indicating that production from high -cost gas wells has increased markedly . Along the west margin of the East Texas Basin , hydrocarbon occurs in structural , stratigraphic , and combination traps associated with salt deformation . Downdip extension of Travis Peak production will depend on the (1 ) burial history and diagenesis , (2 ) reservoir sedimentary facies , and (3 ) structural setting . Potential Travis Peak hydrocarbon plays include : updip pinch -outs of sandstones ; sandstone pinch -outs at margins of salt -withdrawal basins ; domal traps above salt structures ; and deepwater sands .

Inspections are underway this week to determine if one of the miter leaf gates was damaged when the downstream lock gate on the 1,200-by-110 foot chamber failed during operation Sunday, Sept. 27.
The second of the two leaves is resting on the bottom of the lock chamber. The other inoperable lock leaf remained affixed to the lock chamber and required stabilization after what was termed a "catastrophic failure," by officials from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District.
I love Carrollton, and for the last decade I've known many great people that work in, and for, this community.
I know them because my work has brought me into this town so much of these years and I've spent literally thousands of hours experiencing this place called "Carrollton." I know these people and have seen what they do.
Carroll County High School hosted the Carroll County Invitational cross country meet last week. Lady Panthers runners finished fourth overall in the event. Carroll finished sixth in the boys' meet.

October may mean football and pumpkins to some. To others, it mean quilts.
The Carroll County Public Library highlights quilts by hanging them throughout the facility and adding quilting-related events to their programming.
On Oct. 5, the library held its opening night for displaying the Carroll County quilts and spotlighted the artwork of student artist Elizabeth Clark.
Children of all ages are invited to experience the spooks and thrills of Halloween at General Butler State Park.
The annual Haunted Train Ride and Castle of Doom opens Oct. 22 at 6 p.m. Admission is $5 for anyone 3 years and older. The Carroll County Fair Board, the Tobacco Festival Committee and the Kentucky Kruizers sponsor the event.
Despite weather-related and unexpected setbacks, the old firehouse project continues to make some headway.
On Oct. 16, the Carrollton City Council opened bids for the firehouse wall stabilization project on Court Street.
Council received four bids, and following an executive session, unanimously voted to award the contract to low-bidder Brasch & Barry General Contractors Inc. of Carrollton for $23,572. All of the council members except for Councilman Adam Raker were present for the vote.

SSD and my AppData Folder plus more
I had my Windows 7 PC setup with Windows installed on what was then my C Drive. I installed a SSD as my Master and configured Windows 7 to save to Libraries on my old C drive, now called D.
Problem #1
My SSD is 120 GB but currently has only 12 GB free. I install most of my programs to D rather than the SSD but in the interest of speed, some were installed to the SSD. Current SSD Usage:
MOSCache - 594 MB
PerfLogs - 0
Program Files - 2.94 GB
Program Files (x86) - 8 GB
ProgramData - 6.64 GB
Users - 34.4 GB
Windows - 22.5 GB
I believe the only one I can really make changes to and the one with the most usage is Users. AppData is 28 GB and continues to grow.
Can I move this to another drive? Is that advisable because I have read differing opinions? Any other thoughts on reducing it's size? I don't really want to buy an even larger SSD as I think the root problem still exists and AppData will continue to grow.
Problem #2
When I added the SSD, I did an clean install of Windows 7 onto the SSD and kept my old copy of Windows 7 on my old C drive, now D. Since my 2 TB D drive is currently at 220 GB free, deleting my old version of my Windows 7 frees up additional space. Should I be safe in doing that?
Problem #3
My PC periodically, after being on for several hours, turns itself off and BIOS is reset to boot to the D Drive instead of the SSD C Drive. I have to turn it off, access BIOS and tell it the primary boot drive is the SSD. Why would this be happening?
Problem #4
Firefox downloads to a download folder on the SSD, How can I have it download to the Downloads folder on my D Drive?
So there you have my burning questions of the day. I would appreciate any help you can provide.
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2012
Windows 8 Core X64
#2 - You have a lot of room on the 2TB drive, so wait until you have the SSD setup the way you want with everything moved off it before deleting the old install.
#4 - Click on Firefox top left then Options / Options. Change the folder pointed to under Downloads or do as I do and select Always ask me where to save files.
#3 - What make SSD did you buy? Have you done any searching for problems with it? Some SSDs are not very stable from what I've been reading. I just ordered a Kingston SSDNow V200 128 GB SATA III which had pretty good reviews. Should get it Tuesday the 21st.

Can you post a snip of your expanded Disk Management so we can see how your PC is setup. Thanks,
|My System Specs
|17 Aug 2012
I bought a Corsair Force 3 SSD ATA. Delighted with the speed but then anything is good...until it fails!!
Ztrucker...220 GB's isn't a lot of room considering it's my scratch disk for Photoshop as well. My plan is to buy another 2 TB drive and use it as my scratch disk and leave my current D drive for straight storage.
|My System Specs
|18 Aug 2012
You don't want to delete anything until you get the SSD booting as you like. You have drive E: and F: as active. Only your System Reserved should be marked as active. You can use this tutorial to mark them inactive.
Partition - Mark as Inactive ==
I don't see your D: drive in the Disk Management. Where is it showing? == When you installed Windows on the SSD, were all of the other drives unplugged from the Motherboard?
|My System Specs
|18 Aug 2012
I screwed up bigmck, I keep referring to D and it should be E. I have no D.
No...I am pretty sure I did NOT have my other drives unplugged from the m/b when I installed Windows 7 to the SSD.
What's the rational for making all drives except System Reserved changed to inactive? Why would they all be showing as active now?

One of the realities of the salary-cap era in the NFL is that flawed teams can still win Super Bowls. The 2011 Giants lost seven games.

Okay Mr. $67 Million, let's see you build some Romomentum. To me, Sunday's game at Washington is make-or-break for the Cowboys. It's playoffs or implosion. They need Tony Romo to be at his substance-over-style best. People out at Valley Ranch are telling me that his little funk is over. ... More >>

Down. But certainly not out. It's tough to demote a quarterback with five touchdowns, the NFL's most 20 -yard passes and a 3-0 record. But it's also tough to ignore Tony Romo's Red Zone gaffes. Against Cleveland Romo threw an interception in the end zone. Against Philadelphia he trie ... More >>

Has it really been 10 months since I've been on Spark People?!? Life has been crazy and busy, but that's no excuse. Three weeks marks the beginning of summer vacation, changing of routine, and the threat of weight gain. I haven't gained any weight back in my absence from Spark People, but I'm still not at my goal. I need the extra motivation and incentives to get me the rest of the way!
So...I lost 10 pounds as of the end of May. I was feeling pretty great. Very proud of myself...perhaps a little too proud because I decided that I didn't need to track my eating or exercise on sparkpeople anymore....hmm, that was a mistake because here I am a little over a month later and 5 pounds heavier :( With the start of summer and vacations and visitors my eating habits went south. It's time to get back on the wagon and recommit to my self-improvement. It feels great to lose weight, I just have to hold onto the drive and motivation and to never "relax" for too long.
I have come to the realization that I eat way too much sugar (mainly in the form of chocolate). Our pantry and refrigerator are full of healthy snacks, but it's the dark chocolate hershey kisses in the freezer that I seem to always grab for. For as long as I have been living on my own, I have had hershey kisses in the freezer...I'm taking a big step today and NOT replacing the bag that just ran out today. No more chocolate kisses. The next step...no more buying sugar cereal. Lucky charms and cocoa puffs are yummy, but the sugar content is crazy. We have a box of cocoa puffs in the pantry right now and I want to just throw them away to remove the temptation, but should I feel guilty about wasting food? Even if it's bad food? I'm so weak when it comes to sugar/chocolate, especially when it's in the house...so no more buying sweets!
Having a cold sucks...but it feels good to actually run tonight after a week of not being able to breath out of my nose! While I feel well enough to get back to running, a part of me is a little upset that I have been set back a whole week...no exercise for a whole week...I know that it wasn't my fault, that I was sick, but I'm finding it a little hard to jump back on the wagon. I was just hitting my stride, my routine, and then boom, a cold :( I just need to force myself back into my routine.
I'm finding that on this journey to a healthier me I have to force myself to have a short term memory. To not dwell on the pitfalls and setbacks, but to acknowledge them and move on. Keeping my eyes and heart on my goal, one small weigh-in landmark at a time. My first goal was to lose 10 lbs by my vacation to NYC in the middle of March...I'm halfway there, now I just have to keep my motivation to lose the last 5 lbs. Then, establish a new small weight goal, probably 10 more lbs by my birthday in May (and my 5k run!).
Sorry if this particular entry didn't read well. Hopefully my ramblings made sense. I just wanted to reflect on my absence from Spark and give myself a motivation peptalk!
I've been running pretty consistantly for the last month or so and I've been really surprised and excited about how fast I have built up my endurance. Tonight I attempted to run a 5k on my treadmill for the first time. I wasn't able to run the whole time, but I ran a good chunk of it and finished in 40 minutes!! My goal is to run it in under 30, so I think I'm well on my way. I'm so excited that I am able to run this fast/long. I couldn't even run a full mile in high school and now I'm almost running a full 5k!! I love running!!

School Ideas: 10 Time-Saving Habits
Get organized and stress less with these simple tricks to start the year off right.
By Holly Corbett
Power Down Daily
"Recent studies show that using electronic gadgets and computer programs too close to bedtime stimulates kids and interferes with their sleep," says Dr. Newman. Institute a technology break at least half an hour before bedtime: Have kids read or do something else calming instead to help them ease into sleep mode. When it comes to resting easy, this is a good practice for kids and adults. Lead by example and hit the off switch on your gadgets, too.
