No Straight Lines
By Jerry Portwood
Although Hollywood can't get enough of the mainstream comics to convert into summer blockbusters, most gay men and women these days seem to prefer to salivate over bare flesh in photos (or in the countless amateur porn clips collected online) rather than the comics, drawings, and strips that continue to be produced. To attempt to combat that digital distraction, cartoonist Justin Hall has collected four decades of stellar work in No Straight Lines, published by Fantagraphics.
You won't find erotic comics or manga, so don't even start. But you will find everything from "lesbian underground comix, to gay newspaper strips, to bi punk zines, to trans webcomics, and dealing with everything from coming out, to marriage equality, to the AIDS epidemic, to hilarious dance styles, and bad choices for a one-night stand, according to Long.
As he explained to Jase Peeples at The Advocate that he had three criteria: artistic merit, historical merit, and representational merit. "First and foremost, I wanted the collection to be an excellent read," Hall explained, "as well as a collection that would represent the history and diversity of queer comics."
Although there are quite a few stellar gay webcomics (the wave of the future for sure), Hall also focused on print strips that appeared over the past 40 years. As he explained, comics and queer people have a lot in common:
"There are interesting parallels between comics and queers; both have a hard time getting respect by the dominant culture, and both have problems understanding their own history. I hope for this book to serve two functions: one, to educate comics fans about this remarkable body of work done outside of the traditional comics industry, and two, to educate the LGBTQ community about this unique artistic tradition that has spanned four decades tackling complex issues of identity and changing social mores with intelligence, humor, and an irreverent imagination. How's that for a mission statement?"
Ultimately he wants people who find the collection to discover that "these creators have been holding up a fascinating funhouse mirror for the LGBTQ community for decades. They've been describing our lives in profound, smart, surreal, tragic, and funny ways. I want people to be amazed at the quality of the work, and the quality of the message."

About Brenda Brown
All Fine Art America Watermarks that appear when viewing will be removed from purchased pieces!
I am a self taught Artist in both Painting and Photography. I always enjoyed art from a very young age. When I was growing up TV and technology were not options for something to do so I coloured in colouring books a lot, sketched comics and other interesting still life subjects. One Christmas I got a paint by number and it opened up a whole new world to a child as it taught me perspective, colour tones, horizon lines and depth.
I was thrilled to find out in high school that you could actually take Art and get a credit for it so that's what I did. I sketched and painted a lot during that time, learned the colour wheel and other many valuable lessons. When I became a mother and had my children I learned what true masterpieces were.
I am a member of 'Harbourside Painters of Canada'. I also furthered my talents by taking courses and seminars to learn certain techniques and styles I wanted to master. I have been lucky enough to have been put in the path of some wonderful very talented teachers, both Artist, Photographers and Naturalist!! Best advise given to me along the way was 'always remain teachable', I have and always will!
You will notice on my painting signature I always have a dragonfly on the tip of my last N in my name. This is in memory of my Dad who passed away in 2006, his initials were KK and if you put the letters back to back it forms the wing shape of a dragonfly.
I am passionate about what I do and I am confident it shows in my work! I am thrilled that I am now able to share my work with the rest of the world.

Ilivasi Tabua
WITH the FMF Flying Fijians having qualified for the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup, a lot has been about the team's success in France.
All eyes were glued to the televisions sets early this morning to watch their quarter-final clash with the South African Springboks. Fiji Rugby Union chief executive officer Ratu Timoci Tavanavanua speaks to Monika Singh on the team's success
TIMES: How big of a boost is it for Fiji rugby with the FMF Flying Fijians qualifying for the quarter-finals?
Ratu Timoci: For us that was the main objective which was to make the top eight and now that we have achieved this, it puts us on a formal footing going into 2011 World Cup as we have also qualified for that.
First of all, by virtue of making the top eight the commercial value of the Fiji Rugby Union and its image has increased overnight.
As I said in terms of the game itself we have had some solid practice going into 2007.
Times: How do you see the future of Fiji rugby when the team returns home?
Ratu Timoci: At the end of this campaign we will have a meeting (de-briefing) with the managers and look at the strengths and weaknesses and we really need to do a SWOT analysis for the way forward.
In November we are having a strategic workshop where we will be looking at the way forward for the next World Cup.
In particular one of the areas that we need to work at is our set pieces and so we have already set up our scrum squad and just two weeks ago we had our weekend camp for our Under-19.
So you can see that we are keen in ensuring that come the next World Cup we would have addressed the set pieces because that has been the real issue for the last 20 or 30 years and it is really important to address that issue.
Times: Do you think this performance has been the result of the introduction of the Pacific Nations Cup and the setting up of the High Performance Unit in Fiji by the IRB?
Ratu Timoci: It really reflects on the establishment of the High Performance Unit which has enabled us to work within the framework which is required for a nation to compete at the highest level.
And so we were thankful to the International Rugby Board for these initiatives that helped in the setting up of the HPU not only in Fiji but in Samoa.
So for us this is very important and our achievement is a reflection of this and I think the IRB recognises this and so I think it should put us in a good position for the next level of funding.
Times: Sponsorship has been hard to come by for 15s rugby in Fiji, do you think that now the corporate sector would be more forthcoming to assist Fiji Rugby?
Ratu Timoci: At this point in time FRU is now beginning to establish its brand name and I think our achievement in the Rugby World Cup to date has reinforced this.
If you look at the current tournament that is happening in France, millions of households are watching the game on television or listening via the radio and this in itself is exposure for the country and it is difficult to put a value to it.
I think what we are doing here is really complementing what the Ministry of Tourism is doing in terms of promoting the country.
I think that it is one thing to secure sponsorship but the next thing is maintaining that relationship which is more difficult because once you secure sponsorship it is all about maintaining the relationship.
At this point in time the FRU is barely sustained by grants and what we need to try and do now is to introduce income generating activities to assist and complement the current revenue that we generate through grants and sponsorship.
Times: Does FRU plan to change the competition structure domestically to produce better results at international level?
Ratu Timoci: This has been discussed with the games committee and the management and this is something we are definitely going to look at.
We need to look at ways in which we can improve our domestic competitions but we still need to look at the details for this framework.
From our perspective we have the Colonial, the Farebrother and the Sanyo Cup and we have the B Division and the Island Zone and with the introduction of the Colonial Cup it has really lifted the standard of the domestic competition in Fiji.
Now what we need to do is to take this to all our competitions and we are doing this through our Development Unit, which was also set up this year.
And what we are doing here is developing our officials that are referees, our players and our coaches.
Times: Ilivasi Tabua has the credit of taking Fiji to the knock-out stages of the World Cup, would you like to see him continue as the head coach of Fiji? Why?
Ratu Timoci: I guess he was thrown into the deep end of the pool and asked to swim after Wayne Pivac's departure.
But I think Pivac's departure has been a blessing in disguise for us because it has allowed us to do things which had been difficult to address when he was here.
For instance the selection criteria as far as the players were concerned and some of the officials in the team.
Going back to Ilivasi he has shown that he is capable of doing the job and the best way to go forward is to provide the right environment for him to be able to perform effectively and efficiently.
We need to surround him with the right people.
Times: Do you think with Fiji making the quarters and Tonga almost coming close to beating the Boks, IRB has all the reason to invest further in the Pacific Islands to bridge the gap between them and the Tier One nations?
Ratu Timoci: The IRB has invested about $30million in the Pacific and I think these initiatives have started to show.
Now that we have made the top eight I think we might be getting a bigger portion of the IRB budget.
I think the new budget for the three countries is scheduled to be announced after the World Cup. In the last budget Samoa received somewhere near $1.4million, Tonga got 830,000 pounds and we got 800,000 pounds for the three years.
Times: Tabua in an article overseas said that SANZAR should give Pacific Islands the chance to play in an expanded Super 14 competition, do you agree?
Ratu Timoci: I endorse what he is saying but it would be good once again if we played for the three nations individually.
I think this is not going to happen for individual countries as yet but with regards to our interest I think we will be just pushing for playing more international matches with Tier Nations ranked five to 10 and this will give us a better or a true indication of what we are truly capable of.
Times: Fiji has once again looked to its overseas-based players to guide the national team home. But with all due respect we have seen the number of home grown players increase in the national team. Do you think come 2011, there will be more Fiji-based players in the national side instead of overseas-based players?
Ratu Timoci: Of this squad there are 21 overseas-based and nine local players. In terms of developing them in the right environment this is something that we will have to live with because it is really about earning a living for the players and secondly it gives them the opportunity to play in high level competitions and it also develops their standard of play.
With Fiji-based players, unless we are able to provide them with the kind of salaries they get overseas and that sort of contracts then it will be a great thing.
But it is very difficult to compete with overseas teams because if we take for example somebody like Seru Rabeni or Norman Ligairi who get a six figure salary, it is hard for us to match that kind of salary. I think the trend is for us to develop the players here and they go overseas but as long as they are available for the team when it has to play.
So I think for the time being we will continue to develop the players here.
Times: With the 2011 RWC to be held in NZ, cost will definitely come down do you think Fiji would be able to play against more quality opposition in the lead-up?
Ratu Timoci: We certainly believe that our achievement at the World Cup is an indication that we can compete with overseas teams and I believe that nothing is impossible and we can be the top team in the world.
The more important thing is maintaining that ranking and that will be the challenge for us.
Times: What would be the target for the 2011 RWC now that Fiji has achieved their set target this year? A semi-final or a final spot?
Ratu Timoci: Achieving the top eight has been very humbling and we put in a lot of work and I think the result speaks for itself.
I think the way we played Wales and beat them has certainly put a smile on a lot of people in the country.
We played with a lot of passion and pride and self belief and we take that with us in the game with South Africa and I believe that nothing is impossible.
Because now the dream of making it to the semi-final and final is no longer a dream and it's really satisfying and it's a good position to be in and we can only hope for better days to come.
Times: Apart from the bonus payment, does FRU plan to celebrate the team's achievement (irrespective of whether we win against Springboks) upon their return?
Ratu Timoci: We have met our directors in terms of making plans for our celebrations and whatever happens the team deserves a celebration.
We haven't made the quarters in the last 20 years and we are the only Tier Two team in the top eight and I think we have done the country proud and the team needs to be acknowledged for their effort.

I'm sure Cordoba's Patio Olmos shopping gallery is a great place. But it seems like this TV commercial could've let us in on that without shamelessly biting Battles' "Ice Cream" or using that creepy mother arm. Make your own call after watching it below. Thanks to Jeff for the tip.

Former Secret Circle hottie Phoebe Tonkin will be back on our TV screens sooner rather than later when she becomes a regular cast member on Vampire Diaries.
Secret Circle was sadly cancelled after just one season earlier this year, leaving everyone guessing where it's beautiful young cast members would end up. Well the hottest news is that 23-year-old Australian actress Phoebe Tonkin, who played the sexy wild-child Faye in SC has a recurring role in the forthcoming fourth season of VD playing a sexy wild-child called Hayley.
Both Secret Circle and Vampire Diaries have the same production company and it was anticipated that the powers-that-be at CW TV Network would make use of any freed-up talent. As for Phoebe's former cast mates, Britt Robertson will be appearing in new movie White Rabbit alongside Sam Trammell of True Blood fame. White Rabbit is a supernatural drama focusing on a bullied teenager who's nightmares begin to affect his waking life.
The next project from Jessica Parker Kennedy who played teen-witch Melissa in SC will be made-for-TV movie The Nearlyweds. So far no news on the lovely Shelley Hennig.

Statement By NextEra Energy Executive Vice President Joseph Kelliher On Proposed FERC Transmission Rule
NextEra Energy Executive Vice President for Federal Regulatory Affairs Joseph Kelliher issued the following statement today on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's release of a proposed rule dealing with transmission planning and cost allocation:
"We commend FERC for issuing this important proposed rule. It's imperative that we develop a more robust electrical grid if renewable energy is going to play a larger role in meeting the nation's energy needs. One of the biggest barriers to a large-scale transmission build-out is figuring out how to properly allocate the costs of interstate transmission lines. The status quo is simply not working. Cost-allocation disputes are hampering grid development and discouraging development of our highest-quality, lowest-cost renewable resources. FERC's proposed rule takes a balanced approach that tries to allocate costs in rough proportion to the benefits received. It avoids the extremes of making renewable energy developers pay the entire costs for transmission projects that have broad social benefits, and of spreading costs so broadly that those who derive no benefit are forced to pay. We look forward to working with FERC on this critical policy issue. The nation needs a 21st century electrical grid if renewable energy is ever going to achieve its full potential."

Rupert Murdoch has closed on the Moraga Vineyards Estate in Bel-Air five months after entering escrow. The News Corp. chairman paid $28.8 million for the 13-acre winery and mansion.
The property, which was listed earlier this year at $29.5 million, has an on-site wine cave, a 7,500-square-foot main residence, a guesthouse and a swimming pool, among other amenities.
Murdoch, 82, is also chief executive of 21st Century Fox. The media mogul billionaire has been discussed as a potential buyer for the Tribune Co. newspapers, which include the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune.
Jim Kline of Surterre Properties was the listing agent. Delphine Mann of Coldwell Banker's Beverly Hills North office represented Murdoch.

Landslides have also occurred in Greater Algiers. (mid January) CANADA (snow storm) 400+ Canadian soldiers arrived in Toronto on Thursday to help the city cope with the latest snowstorms. The city has already experienced three times its normal snowfall (early January event). CANARY ISLANDS (storm) Wind and rain have caused nearly $415 million USD worth of damage over the past few days. (early January event). CHINA (drought) Low precipitation, combined with high temperatures, has worsened a drought occurring in China's northern, wheat-growing region. Rainfall over most of China was 70% below average the State (China's) Meteorological Bureau reported. According to the Xinhua the northern provinces of Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Shandong are affected by mild to severe drought in at least some areas. Some southern provinces are also experiencing drought -- Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, and Yunnan. Sugarcane production in Guangxi is expected to fall 2.0 million tonnes in the 98/99 season. CHINA (winter conditions) 15% of the 300,000 families made homeless by the summer flooding are still without shelter or daily necessities the Xinhua reported. Local authorities have reportedly distributed 11 million coats and blankets to the displaced. 20,000 medical workers have also spread out to monitor the situation in Hunan. CHINA (flooding) The South China Morning Post reported a new survey of damage caused by the 1998 summer flooding increased fatalities from 3,656 to 4,150. Numbers also reported 5.6 million homes destroyed and 230 million affected by flooding. FIJI (cyclone Dani) Flooding, related to cyclone Dani, has reportedly displaced hundreds of people. 3 people were missing. The flooding occurred in the main sugar growing areas. Total impact on lives and agriculture has not been assessed, however 7 deaths have been reported. The towns of Ba, Nadi, and Lautoka were affected. Vanuatu was also affected by flooding -- no assessments yet.. On Friday, Fiji declared a natural disaster for parts of the country. The flooding caused by cyclone Dani follows a severe drought which destroyed 60% of the country's cane crop. Relief operations for the drought cost 25 million USD. (mid January) HONDURAS (hurricane Mitch) The GOH and private sector groups have agreed to fix prices on 22 basic consumer goods (at least until June) as inflation has significantly increased following hurricane Mitch. Mitch destroyed an estimated 70% of the crops. The price of beans increased nearly 40 percent this month while the price of rice increased nearly 1/3. INDONESIA (landslides) A landslide occurring in Bali on Jan. 7 has caused 33 fatalities. The landslide was located 20 miles north of Denpasar in Pupuan. ISRAEL (floods) Flash flooding occurred Dec. 31 after months of droughts. 8 inches reportedly fell in the Carmel region. Although it is reported that several thousand were evacuated, estimates of damage have not been made. JORDAN (drought) The GOJ approved aid packages to help its farmers affected by the current drought. Rainfall during December and January was reportedly well below normal -- some reports of only 2% in parts of the country. KENYA (El Nino) The GOK reported a record tea crop for 1998; 33% above 1997 harvests. Although rains, floods, and landslides associated with the 1997-98 El Nino caused significant damage throughout the country, the added precipitation aided the tea crop. LAOS (drought) As reported by the European Community Humanitarian Office (ECHO), the country of Laos recently suffered crop damage of nearly 70% in certain provinces. Delayed rains have led to a drought that has crippled the main rice crop for this season. In Sayaboury province an estimated 20,000 people are in need of assistance. MALAYSIA (floods) Floods caused by heavy rains this month are expected to cause palm oil output to drop sharply. More than 2,500 people were displaced by the floods. 1,515 people in six districts of Pahang were evacuated. Flooding also affected Johor, Terengganu, and Kelantan. MOZAMBIQUE (flooding) Heavy rains caused flooding in central and southern Mozambique. Fatalities numbered 3. People have also been displaced and cropland inundated, but the exact extent of the damage has not been reported. The road connecting Beira to Zimbabwe may be cut off by floodwaters. The GOM has reportedly expressed concern about flooding along the Pungue. NETHERLANDS (1998 floods) From the 19,000 persons making damage claims accrued from the 1998 floods, it is now estimated that the event caused $470 million in damages. NEW ZEALAND (drought) The Ministry of Agriculture (MAF) has warned of another approaching agricultural drought. If it occurs, it will be the second summer in a row. MAF is expected to brief the GONZ in late January. PAKISTAN (drought) The GOP is enforcing power cuts as drought has caused a shortage of electricity produced from thermal and hydro power stations (early January).

(early January). PHILIPPINES (El Nino and Typhoons) The Philippine GDP contracted 0.5% in 1998, largely as a result of drops in agricultural production. The situation is being blamed on the combined effect of the Asian economic crisis as well as El Nino and a bout of typhoons. SRI LANKA (flooding) Heavy rains associated with the northeast monsoon have caused flooding in eastern sections of the country. 29,288 families have been affected and 2 people were reported dead. In addition the IFRC noted significant damage to paddies as irrigation systems/reservoirs were damaged. As reported by OCHA, administrative districts affected were Trincomalee, Vavuniya, Batticaloa, Polonnaruwa, Ampara, Badulla, and Mannar. (early January) TANZANIA (famine threat) Frederick Sumaye, Prime Minister of Tanzania, warned that without intervention 300,000 residents of the country's central Dodoma region faced starvation within the next 5 months. He went further to state that 12 of 20 regions within the country also faced acute food shortages. The GOT has blamed the Tanzanian food shortage on the drought which occurred in 1996-97 followed by El Nino related flooding in 1997/98, to severe weather and dry conditions experienced since September. SRI LANKA (flooding) Heavy rains associated with the northeast monsoon have caused flooding in eastern sections of the country. 29,288 families have been affected and 2 people were reported dead. In addition the IFRC noted significant damage to paddies as irrigation systems/reservoirs were damaged. As reported by OCHA, administrative districts affected were Trincomalee, Vavuniya, Batticaloa, Polonnaruwa, Ampara, Badulla, and Mannar. (mid January) SOMALIA (drought, famine threat, disease) The UN has warned that 300,000 people are at a very high risk of starvation. The harvest of food this coming month has already been viewed with pessimism as late rains and drought conditions weakened this season's crop. Last year's harvests were destroyed by El Nino related flooding. Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontiers) confirmed that water shortages have led to outbreaks of disease in southern regions of Somalia -- in particular cholera. SOUTH AFRICA (storm) The AP reported that storms hit the villages of Mount Ayliff and Kokstad on Monday afternoon. 50 houses were destroyed. 21 fatalities occurred. SOUTH AFRICA (La Nina) Ministers from the GOSA have blamed the recent severe storms and series of tornadoes on La Nina. Since December tornadoes have killed at least 38 people while injuring another 550. SWITZERLAND (blizzard) Some of the heaviest snowfall in roughly 15 years fell over Davos last Thursday. Aside from local damages, the storm interrupted the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.(late January) TANZANIA (famine threat) GOT reported a maize deficit of 600,000 tonnes -- largely from poor weather in 1998. GOT says at least 13 of 20 regions have been seriously affected by the shortage. 8 are said to be vulnerable to famine. (early January) THAILAND (1997-98 El Nino related water shortage) Director of Thailand's agriculture ministry's climate division, Narong Piyabhan, was quoted for blaming the 1997-98 for lower than normal water reserves. Water reserviors and dams are down nearly 3.69 billion cubic metres -- in 1997 for the similar period, reserves were at 7-8 billion cubic metres, while in 1996 they peaked at 14.5 billion. GOT surveys show that reserves can only support 608,000 hectares of paddy -- 704,000 hectares have been reportedly planted. UNITED STATES (Florida)(tornadoes) 20 homes were destroyed as 4 tornadoes touched down in Bay County, Florida. Tornadoes were also reported in three additional counties. Several thousand were without power on Jan. 3rd. UNITED STATES (snow storm) 48 deaths. Hundreds of thousands temporarily without power (450,000 along the east coast alone) and travel delays. (early January) UNITED STATES (tornadoes/severe storms)(Tennessee) Severe storms and tornadoes affected parts of Tennessee during the evening of the seventeenth. Fatalities have been tallied at eight while ~100 people were reportedly injured. Damage from the storms included two UH-60 helicopters at the McKeller-Sipes Airport as well as damage to an estimated 600 homes throughout the state.

Masters of the Universe & PowerPC - Call for participation
The Masters of the Universe (MOTU) is a great place to help out with keeping packages in universe up to date, and bug free, particularly if you are using an architecture such as PowerPC, or another community supported architecture.
I would like to put a call out for anybody interested in working on packages for the PowerPC, whether it be fixing package build failures, updating PowerPC specific packages in universe, or trying to help fix PowerPC package crashes. If you are interested, I'd ask you to either leave a comment on this blog post, contact me on either irc.freenode.net or irc.gnome.org, or email me at TheMuso at ubuntu dot com. If there is enough interest, I may investigate whether its worthwhile creating a Launchpad team. Also don't forget that there is the Ubuntu PowerPC Architecture Team already on launchpad, so if you want to be a member of that team, go and join it right away. It is moderated, but there are no requirements to be a member.
So if you want to see better, and continued support for the PowerPC architecture, whether its to help PS3, or get more life out of your G3/G4/G5, and want to become a Master of the Universe, this is a great way to start helping out.
Just for the record. I am interested. I can help with packaging. :-)
Hey I would be interested in helping out packaging with my mac. I started looking at MOTU stuff recently. Guidance would be fantastic! :)

Two basic questions can be asked with respect to psychological aging in the context of health and safety in work. The first concerns the effects of psychological aging on safety and productivity in the workforce, and the second concerns the effects of work on the mental abilities of older workers.
As noted earlier, in many respects older workers appear to have higher levels of personality or emotional stability than young adults. There are consequently no reasons to expect adverse effects on health and safety related to the personality or psychological adjustment of older workers.
In contrast, negative relations might be expected between age and work performance, because cognitive abilities are important for work, and, as indicated above, increased age is associated with declines in certain aspects of cognitive functioning. However, reviews of research on aging and work performance have revealed little overall age trend in measures of job performance (e.g., Avolio, Waldman, and McDaniel, 1990; McEvoy and Cascio, 1989; Salthouse and Maurer, 1996; Waldman and Avolio, 1986; Warr, 1994). Although the reviews suggest that there is little relation between age and job performance, one should be cautious about any conclusions at the current time, because of weaknesses in many of the empirical studies. For example, most studies can be criticized for having a limited age range with few workers over the age of 50; questionable validity and sensitivity of the job performance assessments; and little control for selective survival such that only the highest performing workers may have continued on the job to advanced age (Warr, 1994). Furthermore, it is worth noting that moderate to strong negative relations between age and performance have been reported in certain cognitively demanding occupations, such as air traffic controllers (e.g., Becker and Milke, 1998) and pilots (e.g., Taylor et al., 2000), and in the magnitude of performance improvements associated with job training (Kubeck et al., 1996).
One explanation for the lack of stronger negative relations between age and work performance is a positive relation between age and job-relevant experience. Warr (1994) has speculated about a possible interaction of age and experience for performance in different types of jobs, based on hypothesized patterns of age-related and experience-related influences. He suggested that negative age relations would be expected in only a few jobs, and not in the jobs that involve knowledge-based judgment with no time pressure, relatively undemanding activities, or skilled manual work. Warr's speculations are intriguing, but there is currently little understanding of the demands of particular jobs in terms of the relative involvement of process (or fluid or mechanics) and product (or crystallized or pragmatics) abilities,

|I have an idea & I would love to know if you think this will work. If you know about plumbing, I would love to hear what you have to say.
I am having a problem with getting hot water to the bathroom of my home that is furthest away from the water heater. In the SUMMER we have to wait 5-7 minutes to get any hot water in that bathroom. In winter it is even longer. My idea is this:
Run a 1/2" copper pipe (insulated, of course) from the water heater to the hot water supply of the back bathroom where I am having the problem. This way, I create a "return" pipe. Attatch a 12V pump to this return and then back to the DHW supply. This will form a continuous loop of constantly hot water.
Hopefully, the water at the hot water supply in the back bathroom will be constantly hot, allowing instant hot water.
Will this work?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Yep, this set up is very common, you might want to look at the plumbing forum as there are many posts on this topic already, or even do a search on google for hot water circulating systems to see how others have set up their similar systems. Other options would include a second water heater closer to the far bathroom, but that is another story all together.
|Constant re-circulation of the hot will create a substantial heat loss from the hot water pipe along it's length. To reduce the energy needed to keep the loop hot, you can put the recirculating pump on a timer to operate say only in the morning and even when you usually use the water, or better yet, on a switch in the bathroom that you could turn on and off when needed.
|It'd be much easier to install a point of service electric hot water heater. It would effectively run ONLY to heat the initial cold water in the pipes, then shut off as hot water reached it. If you're paying for install labor (both ways), it could be less expensive than plumbing the additional pipe that you're considering.
|Of course a point of use heater will probably need a new circuit...
And they also tend to scale up.

Constitution of Romania
|Constitution of Romania
|21 November 1991
|8 December 1991
|Antonie Iorgovan et al.
|Replaced the 1965 constitution
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
The 1991 Constitution of Romania was adopted on 21 November 1991. It was approved in a referendum on 8 December and introduced on the same day. It remains the current fundamental law that establishes the structure of the government of Romania, the rights and obligations of the country's citizens, and its mode of passing laws. It stands as the basis of the legitimacy of the Romanian government.
The constitution was most recently revised by a referendum on 18 October 2003. The new text took effect on 29 October 2003.
The Constitution of 1991, as revised in 2003, contains 156 articles, divided into 8 titles:
- Title I - General principles
- Title II - Fundamental rights, liberties, and duties
- Title III - Public authorities
- Title IV - The economy and public finance
- Title V - Constitutional Court
- Title VI - Euro-Atlantic integration
- Title VII - Revising the Constitution
- Title VIII - Final and transitional provisions
Regulamentul Organic, voted by the respective Assemblies of Moldavia and Wallachia under Imperial Russian occupation in 1831-1832, was the first organic law resembling a constitution ever awarded to the Danubian Principalities. It remained in place until 1858, when the Crimean War removed the two countries from Russian influence and confirmed the rule by several European powers first established by the Treaty of Paris; the Paris Convention of 1858 remained the governing document following the election of Alexandru Ioan Cuza as Domnitor over the united countries (1859), but was replaced by Cuza's own organic law, entitled Statutul dezvoltător al Convenţiei de la Paris ("Statute expanding the Paris Convention"), in 1864.
The first constitution of the United Principality (later Kingdom) of Romania was adopted 1 July 1866. After the extension of national territory in 1918, a new constitution was approved 29 March 1923. It was repealed by King Carol II in 1938, when an authoritarian regime formed around the National Renaissance Front adopted a new, corporatist constitution on 27 February this document was, in turn, cancelled in 1940 by the Iron Guard's National Legionary State government. The 1923 constitution was reinstated after the fall of the Ion Antonescu dictatorship in 1944 (see Romania during World War II).
The new constitution of Communist Romania was adopted in 1948 following the Soviet model,[1] with subsequent variants appearing in 1952 and 1965 (the former "building the socialism", the latter announcing the "socialism has won"[1] and notably making the change from a People's Republic to a Socialist Republic). The Communist regime fell in 1989, after which large portions of the 1965 document were suspended, and the present document was adopted in 1991.
Initial version[edit]
The 1991 Constitution enshrined the return to democracy after the fall of the Communist regime. The draft was composed by a committee of parliamentarians and constitutional law specialists; was approved by Parliament, meeting as a Constituent Assembly, by a vote of 414 to 95 on 21 November 1991, being published in Monitorul Oficial the same day; and was approved by referendum on 8 December 1991, with 77.3% voting in favour. The 1991 Constitution contains 7 titles and 152 articles. Romania is defined as a "national, sovereign, independent, unitary and indivisible state". The form of government is the republic, the president having up to two four-year terms. He represents the Romanian state in domestic and foreign relations, ensures obedience to the constitution and the proper functioning of state institutions, and is the guarantor of the state's independence, unity and integrity. Parliament is "the supreme representative organ of the Romanian people and the sole lawmaking authority"; it is bicameral (Chamber of Deputies and Senate) and elected for four years. After the prime minister is named by the president, Parliament validates the composition and programme of the Government and can dismiss it following a motion of censure. The constitution provides for fundamental civic rights and freedoms, and creates the office of Romanian Ombudsman to ensure these are respected.[2]
2003 revision[edit]
The 1991 Constitution has been amended one time, in 2003. Articles were introduced on "Integration into the European Union" and "NATO Accession", bringing the total to 156 in 8 titles. These specified that both could take place by parliamentary vote alone, and that EU citizens living in Romania can vote and run in local elections. The new document grants minorities the right to use their native language when dealing with local administration and the courts, improves the functioning of the legislative chambers (better specifying their attributes) and restricts the privilege of parliamentary immunity to political declarations, extends the president's term to five years, explicitly "guarantees" rather than "protects" the right to private property and removes the constitutional obligation for conscription (which ended in 2006).[2] The revised document was adopted by referendum on 18–19 October 2003; turnout was slightly above the 50%+1 threshold needed for it to be valid, with 55.7% of 17,842,103 eligible voters showing up. The opposition[3] and NGOs[4] alleged serious irregularities. 89.70% voted yes and 8.81%, no. It came into force ten days later.

The latest scamware circulating on Facebook appears to hijack people's accounts to post fake testimonials about weight loss pills. I just received one from a friend who's never had a weight problem in his whole life and spells and punctuates far better than what showed up on my wall:
My friend hadn't clicked on the Facebook page for this diet regimen, but the spam went on several of our walls with his name on it. Friends commented that they recognized the true nature of these posts and got rid of them. I checked out the source using my shadow account (specially set up so I can investigate spamware without posting unwanted garbage on my contacts' walls). Clicking on this so-called sponsored weight loss product led me to a page promoting acai berry supplements.
The text highlighted in yellow leads to a website called ClickSlimStore. The site sells bottles of vitamin supplements starting at $59.95 for one bottle and going up to $299.95 for six. I wonder whether these products all initiate monthly subscriptions that you have to opt out of to prevent your credit-card from getting billed.
If you seen any fake testimonials show up on your own wall or those of your friends, be sure to delete them to prevent exposure to further spam or malware. The scheme doesn't appear to install any rogue applications on your profile, but it's still a good idea to double-check. Click on "privacy settings," then "apps, games and websites," and finally select "remove spammy apps."
Have you seen any of these rogue postings — or other incidents of apparent post hijackings?

What is Pradaxa?
Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) is used to prevent strokes and blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). More than 2 million Americans have this condition which makes them prone to blood clots which can then travel to the brain causing a stroke. Pradaxa works by inhibiting an enzyme involved in blood clotting. We are handling Pradaxa lawsuits nationwide.

FDA Warns of Risk
The FDA issed a Safety Alert on December 7, 2011 to announce that it would be conducting a safety review of reports of serious bleeding events associated with Pradaxa use. This was a little over a year after the FDA approved the drug. Serious bleeding is a known complication of all blood thinners and is warned about in the drug labels. The FDA will investigate to see if there are more serious bleeding events from Pradaxa than expected or other problems which should be warned about. The FDA also issues recommendations for patients taking Pradaxa and recommendations healthcare professionals prescribing Pradaxa.
More Dangerous than other Alternatives
Pradaxa is manufactured by the German-based pharmaceutical giant, Boehringer-Ingelheim. What this company did not use in its aggressive marketing campaign is the fact that, unlike Warfarin, severe bleeding caused by Pradaxa cannot be stopped by vitamin K injections. There is no antidote for Pradaxa bleeding.
International Problems
As of November 6, 2011, the European Medicines Agency (equivalent of FDA in U.S.) was aware of 256 Pradaxa patients who suffered fatal bleeding. Japan's Health Ministry notified the drug company that from March to August 2011, they were aware of 81 elderly Pradaxa patients experiencing severe hemorrhaging. In five of them, it was fatal. In the Fall of 2011, New Zealand officials reported 36 Pradaxa patients suffering severe internal bleeding and at least five others who died from the hemorrhaging.
Pradaxa Attorneys Can Help Answer Your Questions
If you or someone you know has suffered from internal bleeding, heart attack or other serious injury after taking Pradaxa, please contact our offices for a free case evaluation with one of our nationwide Pradaxa attorneys. Our toll-free number is (888) 470-9143.

Definitions for storkstɔrk
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word stork
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
storkstɔrk(n.)(pl.)storks; stork.
any of several wading birds of the family Ciconiidae, having long legs and a long neck and bill.
Category: Ornithology
Origin of stork:
bef. 900; OE storc, c. OHG stor(a)h, ON storkr
Princeton's WordNet
large mostly Old World wading birds typically having white-and-black plumage
A large wading bird with long legs and a long beak of the family Ciconiidae.
Origin: From stork, from storc, from sturkaz, from str̥gos, probably an extension of ster- (from its movements). Near cognates include German Storch and Icelandic storkur.
Webster Dictionary
any one of several species of large wading birds of the family Ciconidae, having long legs and a long, pointed bill. They are found both in the Old World and in America, and belong to Ciconia and several allied genera. The European white stork (Ciconia alba) is the best known. It commonly makes its nests on the top of a building, a chimney, a church spire, or a pillar. The black stork (C. nigra) is native of Asia, Africa, and Europe
Storks are large, long-legged, long-necked wading birds with long, stout bills. They belong to the family Ciconiidae. They are the only family in the biological order Ciconiiformes, which was once much larger and held a number of families. Storks occur in many regions of the world and tend to live in drier habitats than the related herons, spoonbills and ibises; they also lack the powder down that those groups use to clean off fish slime. Storks have no syrinx and are mute, giving no call; bill-clattering is an important mode of stork communication at the nest. Many species are migratory. Most storks eat frogs, fish, insects, earthworms, small birds and small mammals. There are 19 living species of storks in six genera. Various terms are used to refer to groups of storks, two frequently used ones being a muster of storks and a phalanx of storks. Storks tend to use soaring, gliding flight, which conserves energy. Soaring requires thermal air currents. Ottomar Anschütz's famous 1884 album of photographs of storks inspired the design of Otto Lilienthal's experimental gliders of the late 19th century. Storks are heavy, with wide wingspans: the Marabou Stork, with a wingspan of 3.2 m, joins the Andean Condor in having the widest wingspan of all living land birds.

problem implementing wildcard SSL
i am having problem getting wildcard SSL to work in ispconfig.
I have followed some guide in this forum on implementing pre-configured SSL but it still doesn't work.
Getting error
Secure Connection Failed
I am using ubuntu 10.04LTS.
I have ispconfig gui running in self-created SSL cert. Could this be the reason for the problem? Perhaps I should disable SSL in ispconfig gui and then try to configure the website again to use SSL?
Would really appreciate help from the pros here.
more errors from apache logs:
no solution for this?
The ssl key is not matching the ssl cert. If you install a ssl cert were the csr was created outside of ispconfig, you will have to replace the ssl key generated by ispconfig with the ssl key that you created outside of ispconfig for this certificate.

Hi, I keep thinking I should bookmark the XML REC page but... Why is the link from http://www.w3.org/XML/ (from the W3C home page) to the XML REC at http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006 so obscure. It would seem logical to me that many others goto http://www.w3.org/XML/ expecting to find the Recommendation. At the very least, this page should have a prominent link to the Rec.

FIrst, ordered this products because looked great. However, the item looks bigger in the picture, so for, I didn't paid attention to the size specifications. Un-happy with size, the 13 inches or so are from tail to hat. :O(. And the texture is realistic, however, the plush texture covers the face features.

Wow... the quality of this was similar to something you might grab out of one of those machines at a truck stop. The material is shaggy and frays everywhere and the size is truly ridiculous for the price. It is about the size of a beanie baby- with less fill!!! So disappointing given the discription on the website!

Festa de l'Unità
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014)
Festa de l'Unità is an annual social-democratic celebration in Italy, originally organised by the Italian Communist Party to finance and spread its official newspaper l'Unità ("Unity"), and now organised by Partito Democratico. It is often misspelled Festa dell'unità ("Unity party"), since people forget where the name comes from.
The "festa" is generally organized as lots of separated happenings, usually one for each city, but where the Communist party was more present, every local branch organized its own happening and often all of them collaborated to the organization of a large one as well. Typical aspects are low-price or free typical foods, live music, prize games and street markets. Small events start already in July, but the main happenings take place in September.
While the political aspect was preponderant in its first times, and is at times still important, it has developed with time into a social event for the youth (music events and discos) and elderly people (talking about the political adventures of their past and dancing swing).
In some parts of Italy, especially in Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, each and every small village seems to have its own "festa de l'Unità", which is often the biggest social event of the year. In Bologna and in Florence, they have developed into a two-week long, tens-of-thousands-people-packed event that has little resemblance to the original political gathering, and are instead two of the biggest attractors for young people in the nearby areas.
Following the birth in 2007 of the Partito Democratico the name of the Festa dell'Unità was changed, at a national level, to the Festa Democratica.[1] At the provincial level, however, and for important local party organisations, the traditional name "Festa de l'Unità" was retained,[2] while elsewhere new hybrid appellations have been adopted such "Festa del Partito Democratico" or "Festa di [place name]".[3]

Barrie Lindsay '12 (#10, main photo) put home the opening goal of the game in the 13th minute, then cashed in on the Cardinals' final penalty kick to lock up a spot in the NESCAC semi-finals for the first time in program history after a 1-1 tie at Tufts Sat., Oct. 29 in the opening round of the playoffs. Goalie Jessica Tollman '15 (#30, photo insert upper left) made a career-high 17 saves to backstop the effort as the Jumobs generated a 31-10 edge in total shots, but only found the net behind Tollman once, that at the 21-minute mark.
Wesleyan, playing in its fourth straight NESCAC tournament, advances to the semi-finals Sat., Nov. 5 against top-seed and host Amherst, which defeated Bowdoin, 3-2 in overtime, in its opening-round matchup. Middlebury, #2, and Williams, #3, clash in the other semi-final. Wesleyan is the fifth seed, equaling its highest-ever finish in the NESCAC regular-season standings.
Lindsay scored her first goal of the year after receiving a through pass from Kerry Doyle '14 (#7, photo insert lower left), who had two goals in Wesleyan's regular-season finale win over Trinity and earned NESCAC Player of the Week honors. The pass to the right side set Lindsay up to find room inside the near post for a 1-0 Cardinal lead at 12:51. Tufts reponded 8:09 later to knot the score and the teams played scoreless for the final 69 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime. Tollman had seven stops in each half and added three more in overtime to preserve the tie. Entering penalty kicks, Wesleyan converted on each attempt with Doyle, Katy Hardt '15, Katie O'Brien '15 and Laura Kurash '13 making the first four. Tufts also made good on its first three tries but Tollman stopped the fourth try. When Lindsay put home the Cardinals' last PK, Wesleyan had a spot in the semi-finals.
Wesleyan and Amherst met on Oct. 22 in Amherst with the Lord Jeffs securing a 3-0 victory. Wesleyan has not beaten its Little Three rival since 1993 as Amherst stands 19-0-1 in the last 20 meetings. Wesleyan and Amherst were first-round NESCAC tournament foes in both 2008 and 2009 with the Lord Jeffs capturing one-goal games each time, the last affair in overtime.

For a third consecutive year, the cities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach have reached record tourism numbers.
The Gulf Shores and Orange beach area ended 2013 with a lodging revenue of $343 million growing by 5.9 percent, and a retail sale of $683 million dollars, increasing by 6.5 percent from the previous year.
Since 1999, nearly 9,000 lodging rooms have been added to Pleasure Island. Officials attribute that growth to a number of investments by the cities since the harsh impact of the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill, including the large interest in sports tourism, the Hangout Music Festival, and good old southern hospitality.
Thursday, FOX10 caught up with city officials about the big concentration on sports tourism.
Orange Beach officials say they attract tournaments of all types, from tennis, to soccer to softball and baseball.
Orange Beach invests millions every year to keep up the endeavor, and they say it's paid back.
It's also an investment for the future. Officials say they concentrate on women's sports in hopes families will return in the coming years.
"Traditionally the women's sports are something that we're really proud of, because we know that they're the decision makers," says Ken Grimes, City Administrator for Orange Beach, "As they grow and mature with their families, they'll want to come back to our beautiful, sandy beaches."
Local residents say they believe these sporting opportunities aren't just good for bringing in tourists, they also believe it will bring in permanent residents.
"We have these wonderful facilities that they can definitely keep their kids out of trouble, they have the opportunity to exercise, play a sport year round, so I think a lot of people see a lot of opportunities of moving to this area, for those advantages," says Rhett Russell, a resident of Orange Beach.
Local business owners on Pleasure Island say it's impressive how far the area has come.
John Boller, owner of a local rental company, tells me tourists are planning longer stays. He's says he's able to increase prices on rental properties because of higher demand.
"Of course after the oil spill, things were a little slower, but for the last couple of years, the business has really picked back up, people are coming back to the area, and our business has been great," says Boller.
