A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on June 6, 2013
On Monday, the Connecticut General Assembly passed legislation designed to clarify and make technical corrections to the sweeping and radical "gun control" law enacted in April. Considering that extreme law was introduced, passed by both legislative chambers and signed within 24 hours, it should come as no surprise that there were several flawed and unintended provisions contained in the original bill. Due to anti-gun legislators' haste in April, the state legislature was forced to pass corrective legislation, Senate Bill 1094.
As amended, SB 1094 seeks to "clean up" and address many mistakes made in the recently enacted law. Among other provisions, SB 1094 expands Connecticut's current ban on some semi-automatic rifles to include .22 caliber rifles with one or more certain cosmetic features. These cosmetic features include, but are not limited to, a bayonet mount, flash suppressor, pistol grip or folding stock. Banning firearms with certain cosmetic features that do not affect the functionality of the firearm demonstrates the misguided and ill-conceived nature of supportive legislators in the General Assembly.
Despite pursuing this arbitrary ban, the state legislature also undermined the foundation of the democratic process by passing SB 1094 by a 33-1 vote in the state Senate and by a 131-15 vote in the state House without first holding any public hearing. This seems to be a common occurrence in the Connecticut General Assembly this year as public input has essentially been cut out of the process when it comes to anti-gun bills. While the General Assembly has now adjourned for the year, your Second Amendment rights and firearms freedom will be forever impacted by the deeply flawed, onerous and restrictive anti-gun laws passed this legislative session. Serious concerns remain about the implications of these poorly devised laws, and your NRA will continue to update you on developments related to these matters.
Senate Bill 1094 is currently awaiting consideration by Governor Dan Malloy (D). Therefore, please call AND e-mail Governor Malloy and respectfully ask him to VETO SB 1094.

Town employee receives labor relations professional certification
Date: October 9, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Human Resources Manager Lisa Silvertooth has received her certification as a Florida Public Sector Labor Relations Professional, after undertaking extensive course studies and certification exams.
The Florida Public Employers Labor Relations Association awarded the certification.
During her course studies, Silvertooth was an active participant with the ongoing labor and contract negotiations between the town's International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) and the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) unions.
During her studies, which lasted for four days, the Florida Public Employers Labor Relations Association used a comprehensive survey Silvertooth compiled for the town's use during the negotiation of firefighter- and police-employee benefits. Silvertooth's survey was used as a teaching tool for other students.
The certification process, Silvertooth said, allowed her to watch a negotiation process from start to finish.
Town Clerk Trish Granger said Silvertooth's achievement is a huge benefit for the town.
"Lisa has now gone through the established training for municipal government union negotiations and has learned the background work needed for negotiations to run smoothly and legally," Granger said.

Well, my mothers intuition was COMPLETELY wrong... We're having a....GIRL!!!!!
I'm completely shocked.. I felt certain it was a little boy, but I'm extremely excited. The only thing I'm bummed about is the reaction from DH's family friends. This is girl #6 on his side of the family and there currently no boys, so everyone is saying things like "oh no, not another one!" and "Of COURSE it's a girl.. That's the only gender that your family produces"... Seriously, people? Rudeness. They can't dim my excitement though :)..
We decided that we wanted to be alone when we found out the gender, so we had the doctor write it in an envelope and we took a drive down by the river and opened it up. I'm glad we did because it was a lovely day and made a lovely memory.. Here's DH walking down to the water before the moment of truth :)
|Thu, 10-18-2012 - 12:01am
Whoops! I posted this in the wrong folder. I'm all mixed up with the changes.
|Thu, 10-18-2012 - 10:26am
Congratulations!! And who cares what others think about baby's gender? I mean really ... people need to keep their rude/thoughtless comments to themselves. :) I'm so glad that you didn't let it diminish your excitement though! Congrats again & welcome to Team PINK!

That is really awesome - congratulations!! I like how you and your DH decided to open the envelope in private, just the two of you. It seems kind of romantic actually! Congrats!!!
|Thu, 11-08-2012 - 3:05pm
Dont feel too bad. Its the same thing in my family. I have 3 girls with a girl on the way, sister has 2 girls, brother has a girl. A big thing though is from the start I was hoping for another girl. It was actually my oldest daughter who was most disappointed. For some reason she really wanted a baby brother. I wouldnt know what to do with a boy, and there are so many cute clothes for girls.. non stop options with them! You can always tell people if they want a boy in the family they can try for one ;) Enjoy your little girl! They sure are a blessing!

Markets Slammed By Inconclusive Italian Elections
Whether Tuesday's negative market reaction extends further into the week may hinge on how quickly a solution is reached in Italy. Despite the uncertainty, Italy's Treasury managed to sell ⿬8.75 billion ($11.75 billion) of short-term debt though at a higher cost.
Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian premier whose center-right coalition did better than expected, insisted that a government can be formed and called on Italians to ignore the "crazy markets." Berlusconi is a key player as his coalition is now the second-biggest bloc in the upper chamber.
"Markets go their own way. They are independent and also a little crazy," he said, adding that a government can be cobbled together if rival politicians are willing to "make some sacrifices."
Stinging from a loss of some 4 million votes compared to the last election in 2008, Bersani hasn't yet identified potential coalition partners. But top officials in his Democratic Left (PD) party were quick to rule out any deal with Berlusconi."As far as I go, absolutely not," Stefano Fassina, a PD official said of a possible Bersani-Berlusconi alliance. A big surprise in the election was the strong showing by comic-turned-political leader Beppe Grillo, whose 5 Star Movement capitalized on a wave of voter disgust with the ruling political class. Grillo's bloc of seats in Parliament could prove crucial in making any coalition government viable. But Grillo, swarmed by reporters outside his villa in Genoa, said his forces would seek to thwart any Bersani-Berlusconi deal. Raising the specter of early elections, he predicted any such coalition will "last seven, eight months. The economy won't let them escape." Bersani himself later made subtle overture toward Grillo's forces, conceding that the center-left campaign had not gone deep enough for change. "We finished first, without winning," he conceded. Bersani said he not opening talks with any potential partners until he submits his program to Italy's president, who taps a candidate to form a government.

Great job Ana and Ashley! I love the dresser!

DIY West Elm Patchwork Dresser Plans - build it yourself and save!
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
1 - sheet 3/4" plywood ripped into 15 3/4" wide strips
1/2 sheet 1/4" plywood (for drawer bottoms and backs)
1 - 1x6 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x6 @ 10 feet long
1 - 1x3 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x4 @ 4 feet long - MUST BE 3 1/2" WIDE!!!
1 - 1x8 @ 6 feet long - MUST BE 7 1/4" WIDE!!!
5 sets 14" European Style bottom corner mount drawer slides
4 Caster Wheels
1 set FULL INSET concealed hinges for Euro Style Cabinet (meaning no face frame)
Edge banding if desired
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
3 - 3/4" plywood @ 15 3/4" x 24 3/4"
1 - 3/4" plywood @ 15 3/4" x 29 3/4"
1 - 3/4" plywood @ 15 3/4" x 8 1/4"
2 - 3/4" plywood @ 15 3/4" x 48"
2 - 1x2 @ 21 1/2"
2 - 1x2 @ 29 3/4"
DRAWERS - Recommend cutting to fit slides and measured openings
6 - 1x6 @ 14"
2 - 1x6 @ 5"
4 - 1x6 @ 27 1/4"
2 - 1x3 @ 14"
2 - 1x3 @ 19"
2 - 1/4" plywood @ 20 1/2" x 14"
2 - 1/4" plywood @ 28 3/4" x 14"
1 - 1/4" plywood @ 6 1/2" x 14"
2 - 1x4 @ 21 1/4"
1 - 1x8 @ 8"
2 - 1x8 @ 29 1/2"
1 - 3/4" plywood @ 15 3/4" x 24 1/2"
1 - 1/4" plywood 48" x 26 1/4"
NOTE: This slide (and all others in this dresser) MUST be attached inset 3/4" (not shown in diagram) to allow for the drawer face frames to be attached in later steps.
If you are using drawer slides for the little drawer, it will be much easier to install the cabinet members now instead of when the space is super tight.
Attach shelf with 3/4" pocket holes and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws and glue.
This is a dresser, so make sure you are very precise when attaching boards, square all the way down - or your drawers will be cockeyed when the slide.
TIP: Drill 3/4" pocket holes on top and bottom edge of divider for attaching top and bottom in step 3. Drill 3/4" pocket holes on end of shelf for attaching side in step 3.
Attach remaining drawer slide cabinet member to the small divider. Then attach the small divider to the shelf with 3/4" pocket holes and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws and glue.
TIP: Drill 3/4" pocket holes on top edge of small divider facing upward for attaching top in step 3.
Now attach the top and bottom to the partion boards, and the sides. Recommended is 3/4" pocket holes and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws and glue.
Attach the 1x2 trim boards with 3/4" pocket holes and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws.
NOTE: Drawers should be built to fit your openings and drawer slides. Drawers shown are to plan specs with drawer slides that require 1/2" clearance per slide.
TIP: Place 3/4" pocket holes on outsides - it will get covered up by the drawer face in next step.
Insert drawers into cabinet, installing with drawer slides so drawer boxes are INSET 3/4" - this is to allow for the drawer faces (next step).
Attach drawer faces to the drawers with a 1/8" gap around all sides. Then attach the cabient door with the inset hinges.
The back can really be attached at any time, but it's nice to do this afterwards so you can reach in from back to get your drawers/hinges just right.
Attach caster wheels to base.
Done deal!
Great job Ana and Ashley! I love the dresser!
My to do list is so full already!!!! LOL! But I see a modified version of this for our workshop in the garage!!!! Thanks! I LOVE the mixed finishes!
jkassel78 replied on Permalink
I have been drooling over this dresser for ever...could never afford it from west elm. Thank you so much for these plans, can't wait to get to work!
yurra-bazain replied on Permalink
Thank you both for taking the time to make plans and execute them beautifully. This dresser is well done, and so nicely styled. Being part of a community of doers has been empowering for me and has given me a new love for wood and the possibilities it holds. :)
Doyletron replied on Permalink
Hey Ana,
My husband and I started this build yesterday. We are having some difficulties reconciling the shopping list with the cut list. We seem to have lost the wood for the large cabinet face and the wood for the slim cross pieces for the frame that go between the drawers.
We went over everything we did twice, and we believe there may be a typo on your lists.
Hoping to be helpful.
Thanks for the plans.

Ohsu - Ocne/bsn - page 5
Well my letter from OHSU finally came. I have been put on the alternate list. I guess that is better than getting a rejection letter but I have no idea what my chances of being moved up to being accepted are. I am just... Read More
- 0Feb 21, '11 by kamabokoQuote from kmdguyYeah, I got the CNA for the 'extra point' but in no way could afford to do the work. It would have been a serious cut in income. The problem is that so many people are grasping at straws for a job that pays a living wage in today's economy. A lot have looked to nursing to make that happen. A few years ago one could get an associates degree in nursing, pick up a job and be good to go, but not today. For the most part now a BSN is required to get a foot in the door. Seriously at this point I'm second guessing my interest in nursing in spite of all the effort I put into getting the 3.9GPA and the CNA. I could get a post bach in software engineering with half the headache involved. Moreover, people would be knocking down my door to have me work for them.It makes me wonder if the best way to go about getting a BSN if you don't have a prior degree, is to go out and first get a bachelor's degree in anything, then come back, do your pre-requisites and then apply. There is physically no way to get high points, even with a 4.0 GPA, without having a prior degree which describes my situation. That's sort of a wink and a nod way of the school saying "you NEED a prior degree" without making it a mandatory thing on paper. A 4.0 GPA just puts you point-wise right at the cut off for consideration, or just a smidge below it. A CNA with a couple of years of work experience might be good for a point or two, but having another full degree will make the difference it seems.
- 0Apr 27, '11 by yellow6tFor anyone wanting to know the update on OHSU Apps, like me, here is an email they sent me back in reply to my question. It's close!
Thank you for contacting the OHSU School of Nursing.Letters for the OCNE Fall 2011 cohort should go out mid/late May.I hope this information is of help.Thank you,Office of AdmissionsOHSU School of Nursing
- 0May 1, '11 by JillfaceI'm also a hopeful applicant to OHSU. I have a decent GPA, 3.8'ish, previous degree, and have worked as a phlebotomist/MA for the past year getting patient care hours. It's kind of getting scary now, I've avoided thinking about getting accepted or not until now. From what I'm reading, it sounds like nothing is a sure thing - they take all kinds of different people. I had initially stated I wanted Portland as my first choice, but would be willing to go to other campuses if need be, but I've since purchased an apartment in Portland and am realizing I won't be able to drive the 5 hours to Ashland should I get accepted there. I'm kind of worried!
- 0May 10, '11 by Purkinje7I am honored and ecstactic to report that I've been accepted for the Fall of 2011 (Portland)!!! For some people wondering, it was the typical large envelope that arrived yesterday in the mail. I completely understand how intense this waiting period can be and, in my own small way, would like to provide whatever insight I can. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions. Warmest regards to all you brave applicants out there!! Don't worry too much, luck has a tendency to favor the brave.
- 0May 10, '11 by katinthehat8914Congratulations you two! I just got a rejection letter (as so many of us who applied did). I met someone at my CCC interview yesterday who got on the alternate list for OHSU Portland and she was even a non-native English speaker, so she did really well to get a spot as an alternate! What things do you think helped you guys be one of the 32 chosen for the program?
I'm hoping to hear good news from one of the three other schools I applied to!
- 0May 10, '11 by yellow6tCongrads Perkinje & kmdguy! I still have no idea whether I am in or not It's probably in my mailbox, but I am actually in Peru visiting my Dad. So I am like freaking out not knowing if I got in or not :S I think I might have to have a friend hack into my mailbox and tell me herself. But I actually might have to wait a week till I get back. AH THE AGONY! Awesome job you guys! Hopefully I got into Portland Campus too. Fingers crossed!
- 0May 10, '11 by kmdguyHi Katinthehat, thanks... I honestly can't say if there was anything specifically that helped me get in, other than the fresh baked apple pie that I dropped off to the nursing admissions staff Heh, really, I'm not sure. I had a 4.0 on everything going in, but I'm 46 and my essay was able to talk about my life experience with various issues of health that everyone inevitably deals with by this age with friends and family. I have no prior health experience, but I did own a company that produced forensic animation and courtroom demonstrative evidence, much of which was anatomical-based, perhaps they liked that I worked in that type of science. Perhaps they liked that I gave up that career to focus on nursing instead. Perhaps taken as a whole, they liked my grades, my age (life experience), my professional background and successful business career as a CEO, my experience with international adoption, wife's breast cancer, etc. and added it all up and gave them a warm, fuzzy. I really don't know what made the difference in my case.

Byon September 25, 2013
Just a brief note for Larry Klayman:
Dude, various institutions of law-enforcement frown on this sort of thing.
Last Wednesday, the great usurper, Barack Hussein Obama, after having been indicted by an Ocala, Florida citizens' grand jury, was convicted by a people's court of defrauding the American people and Floridians by proffering them with a fake birth certificate. See www.citizensgrandjury.com. As readers of this column and www.wnd.com know too well, Obama is not a natural born citizen eligible to be president of the United States, as he was not born in this country to two American citizen parents. However, to justify his fraud and his elections to the highest office in the land, and after years of inquiry, in 2011 the Obama White House posted on its website a birth certificate purporting to show him having been born in Hawaii. The problem is however, according to forensic experts, the birth certificate is altered and forged. The day of reckoning has come. Obama, having failed to plead in response to the indictment that was served upon him, waived his right to a jury trial. Thumbing his nose at We the People, as the citizens' prosecutor, I appeared before a citizens' court judge and presented evidence from Cold Case Posse investigator Michael Zullo showing that Obama tricked voters into electing him in 2008 and 2012. As a result, the citizens' judge found him guilty on two counts of falsifying information to federal and state election officials. He was thus sentenced to the maximum prison term for these offenses of 10 years, and ordered to immediately surrender himself into the custody of the citizens of the United States and Florida.
My guess? The Secret Service will decline to serve the president with the warrant from Ocala Citizens Grand Jury, although the agents may be briefly confused by the fact that it is drawn on the back of a place-mat from Red Lobster.

Highly recommended. Very intriguing play and for the most part very well acted - including by the lead. Based on other reviews, I did some pre-reading (thanks, wikipedia) and found out that the mystery's the thing - not a specific answer. Lots to talk about afterwards - and that's a great thing in my book.

I enjoyed seeing an adaptation of a never seen literary story by a classic author. The acting was competent and the minimal staging focused on the story. However, the story is slight and ambiguous, and therefore difficult to adapt to the stage. ...continued

"Set in the small Puritan town of Milford in the early 1700's, the Eclectic company has assembled a terrific cast guided by director Laura Lee Bahr and has created a riveting daguerreotype like visage of the townspeople and their foibles as they struggle to deal with this inexplicable behavior from their pastor." — Jose Ruiz, Reviewplays.com

By Jay-Anne Casuga
Aug. 19 - A Michigan emergency medical technician may proceed to trial on her claim that an ambulance authority violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by requiring her to undergo counseling because of her "immoral" sexual conduct, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
Aug. 19.
Reversing summary judgment for White Lake Ambulance Authority, the Sixth Circuit found material factual disputes as to whether the counseling requirement for Emily Kroll, who began to have emotional outbursts related to a "tumultuous affair" with a married co-worker, was job-related and consistent with business necessity.
White Lake's director, who ordered the counseling, was aware of only two isolated incidents that called into question Kroll's ability to perform her essential job functions or that suggested she posed a direct safety threat, the court said. It found that those two incidents are insufficient to establish an objectively reasonable basis for the counseling.
Judge Karen Nelson Moore wrote the opinion, joined by Judges Jeffrey Sutton and Bernice B. Donald.
The Sixth Circuit previously heard Kroll's case in August 2012 when it held that the psychological counseling ordered by White Lake was a "medical examination" under the ADA.
On remand, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan granted summary judgment to the ambulance authority, finding that the counseling was permissible under the ADA because it was job-related and consistent with business necessity.
Specifically, the district court pointed to evidence that Kroll would cry frequently, used her cell phone at least once while driving an ambulance in violation of company policy, and on one occasion didn't respond to a co-worker's request to give oxygen to a patient.
Such evidence called into question Kroll's ability to perform her job and indicated that she posed a direct threat to the safety of herself and others, the court said.
The Sixth Circuit disagreed, ruling that White Lake failed to show that Director Brian Binns had a reasonable basis for believing that Kroll was unable to perform her essential job functions when he ordered the counseling.
The court said emotional outbursts by Kroll outside of business hours and not in the presence of patients didn't impair her ability to perform her job.
If Binns had been aware of a "pattern of behavior" indicating that Kroll's emotional and psychological issues were interfering with her patient care and transportation duties, then the counseling order may have been justified under the ADA, the court said.
However, the evidentiary record shows that Binns was aware of only two occasions-the cell phone while driving incident and the oxygen incident-that "may have undermined" Kroll's ability to do her job, the court said.
Reversing summary judgment to White Lake Ambulance Authority, the Sixth Circuit found material factual disputes as to whether the counseling requirement for Emily Kroll, who began to have emotional outbursts related to a "tumultuous affair" with a married co-worker, was job-related and consistent with business necessity.
Although those two "isolated moments of unprofessional conduct might reasonably have prompted Binns" to discipline Kroll or take other corrective action, they don't "support the conclusion that Kroll was experiencing an emotional or psychological problem that interfered with her ability to perform her job functions," the court said.
Those "isolated incidents" also don't establish that Kroll posed a direct safety threat to herself or others, the Sixth Circuit ruled.
Even if Kroll posed a safety risk, the court said, the evidence shows that Binns didn't base his counseling order on "a reasonable medical judgment."
"Binns admitted that he ordered Kroll to attend counseling because he had 'concerns' about her 'sexual relationships with men' and that he thought that 'her life was a mess and [h]e could help her,' " the court said. "This open admission that an employer ordered a medical examination based on moralistic condemnation of an employee's private behavior is troubling, to say the very least."
Bos & Glazier represented Kroll. Plunkett Cooney represented White Lake.

"The roaming rip-off is now coming to an end," said EU telecommunications commissioner Viviane Reding in a statement. "Expect the new roaming rules to make it much cheaper to surf the web on your mobile while abroad in the EU."Mobile roaming charges drop across Europe
After years of experiencing high prices for making phone calls abroad - or receiving them - the new tariffs are radically lower: sending a text message, for example, will drop from an average of 28 Euro cents to just 11 cents. The move should end the well-worn fear of opening a huge phone bill when returning from holiday or business abroad.
The new tariffs include the following maximum costs:
- making a call while abroad will cost 37p per minute
- receiving calls will cost a maximum of 17p per minute
- sending a text message from another country inside the EU will cost 10p
- Data transfers will also fall dramatically, with a megabyte of data costing 85p
European roaming charges now set by law -- and still high

Second Skin gamer documentary coming to DVD, theaters
Victor sez, "Our documentary on virtual worlds, Second Skin, which premiered at SXSW last year, will finally be coming out in theaters and DVD in August. I produced it with my friend Peter Brauer and it was directed by my brother Juan Carlos. The three of us spent two years racing around the world following gamers who had fallen in love, become addicted, formed enormous guilds, or made their living playing MMOs like World of Warcraft, Everquest and Second Life. From gold farmers to disabled gamers, we tried to get a sense of how integral virtual worlds are to the fabric of life these days. We'd love you to check it out- the first five minutes are available on Current TV- here. The movie's coming to NYC, LA, Austin and Boston in mid-August, and DVD everywhere on August 25th."
I saw Second Skin at the Toronto Film Festival and was blown away -- by turns touching and funny, and always fascinating, this is a loving but clear-eyed look at the relationship of gamers to their games.

Sichuan peppercorns, oh yeah! Raven of Made with Molecules after eating them wrote, "There's a war in my mouth."

Browse our choice of traditional Italian recipes from the region of Umbria. Start with our latest suggestions below and look out for them if you are planning a vacation or visit to the cities of Perugia, Todi, Torgiano, Assisi etc.
Pinoccata Christmas sweet recipe
"I would like some information for a recipe for Pignolata and Pignoccata". We think you must be referring to Pinoccata, the typical Christmas sweet of Perugia and Assisi. This very sweet sweet is sold in most of the shops and streets of the province of Perugia at Natale, often in lively colored wrapping. They make excellent last minute presents.
500gr sugar, 100gr water, 300gr pine nuts
Umbrian Farro Soup recipe
Italian style soup recipe with farro, the 'wheat of the Roman Legions'. A slight variant of this dish (pictured) we ate deep in the Monte Subiaso near Assisi.

Spaghetti with Italian tuna recipe
Classic spaghetti pasta with tuna sauce recipe. Very easy.
150 g Italian tuna packed in extra virgin olive oil, 1 onion, finely chopped, 3 Tbsp oil, 300 gr stewed tomatoes, salt, pepper, dried red pepper, 500 gr spaghetti pasta
Crescia, Umbria Easter Cheese Bread Recipe
Now available all year, crescia al formaggio belongs to the family of Easter cheese breads found across south Umbria, although we believe crescia is particular to Gubbio.
It is similar to the piadina romagnola and other versions of regional focaccia found along the Via Flaminia as it links the Adriatic coast to Umbria passing through Le Marche.
View the video above to see how the Gubbio version is a lot thicker than the familiar piadina.
500gr flour, 50g butter, 25g lard, 30 beer yeast, 150g grated parmigiano reggiano cheese, 50g fresh pecorino cheese, 1 glass of milk, 3 eggs, 1 spoon of sugar, salt and pepper to taste.

Now, however, increasing use of the Internet, particularly in the hands of plaintiffs' attorneys, promises to be key to ensuring the broad dissemination of information on hazards and harmful products -- if they're allowed to.
Lawyers like Langerman are connected to colleagues across the country through e-mail discussion groups and "list serves" that share information on their legal specialty -- insurance cases, in Langerman's case.
"Some attorneys might even be prone to be proactive," he says. "I'm the kind of guy who would probably be inclined to share all my documents, once I can."

Best Mexican Restaurants in the U.S.
Sanchez Taqueria, Tigard, OR
Portland doesn't suffer for Mexican food that's celebrated. Nuestra Cocina, Autentica, and ¿Por Que No?, among others provide proof of that. But for that real taqueria touch, you'll want to get out of the city, head out on 99W, and stop in at Sanchez Taqueria, a roadside institution since 1999 that declares: "We're not fancy, we're delicious!" The house specialty chavindecas—a hard-to-find regional dish from small towns near Mexico City (fresh corn tortillas layered with beans, meat, crema, cabbage, onion, cilantro, avocado, and Cotija)—is enough to inspire a trip to Mexico to search for the next undiscovered thing.

very cool, i need to justify building a keezer now too
I love the initial concept. I think if I ever do this, I'll also incorporate BigPete9000's suggestion of a bar style scale along with the actual measurement.
This will definitely be "on tap" when I get far enough along to get a keezer!
Thanks for the heads up on the acrylic sign holders. I picked a couple up last night.
Bottled/Kegged/Conditioning: Orfy's Boddington's clone, Orfy's Old Speckled Hen clone, SN Celebration clone
On Deck: Gumballhead clone, German Pilsner
Drinking: Old Ale, Bourbon Barrel Wee Heavy, Bourbon Barrel RIS
I combined the chalkboard on the wall concept into my lid. I used chalkboard paint and made the lid into a chalkboard. Now I just write what's on tap using chalk directly on the lid of my keezer. Works well because I am forced (by curious kids) to keep my keezer in the unfinished portion of my basement where mounting things to concrete walls involves a hammer drill and tapcon screws. Not something I want to do unless absolutely necessary.

by Riccí D. Kearney, shacknews.com, Feb 28, 2014 1:30PM PST
Ready At Dawn Studios is preparing for the release of their PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order: 1886. A video interview provides new insight into the game's 19th century Victorian London setting and storyline. Creative director Ru Weerasuriya describes the realism of the game, saying: "For us it was always important that the player didn't feel detached. If it takes you away from the experience, we usually shy away from it."
The video also provides a look at actual gameplay footage, highlighting melee and weaponized combat.

Codexis Demonstrates Enzyme-Based Carbon Capture At National Carbon Capture Center
Codexis, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDXS) today unveiled results from the pilot-scale demonstration of the company's carbon capture technology conducted at the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) in Wilsonville, Alabama. Codexis developed this patented technology under a license granted by CO 2 Solutions, Inc. (TSXV:CST). The field test, on flue gas emitted from a Southern Company's power plant, shows that enzymes have promise to facilitate CO 2 capture at coal-fired power plants. This is the largest scale that enzyme-based carbon capture technology has been demonstrated to date, with the equivalent daily capture rate of 1,800 average sized trees per day.
In May 2010, Codexis received $4.7 million from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) to develop an active enzyme called carbonic anhydrase (CA), which catalyzes the transfer of carbon dioxide in nature and is designed to remove dangerous emissions from coal-fired power plants.
With ARPA-E's funding, Codexis saw the largest improvement in an enzyme the company has ever seen: a 2-million-fold improvement in thermal stability at temperatures between 140 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, preliminary analysis indicates the enzyme-based carbon capture technology can substantially reduce parasitic energy loss compared to the current state-of-the-art MEA technology.
A 2011 National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) report estimated that coal-fired power plants account for roughly 37 percent of total U.S. CO 2 emissions and that current state-of-the-art MEA technology to capture CO 2 could reduce power-generating capacity by 30 percent. Codexis' enzyme-based technology, if successful, could play a role in meeting the proposed new EPA standards (Carbon Pollution Standard for New Power Plants), first published in April 2012 – theoretically capturing up to 90 percent of CO 2 emissions of coal-fired power plants."Using Codexis' enzyme-based carbon capture technology, power plant operators may be able to capture carbon much more efficiently," said James Lalonde, Ph.D., Vice President of Biochemistry and Engineering Research and Development, Codexis, who led the demonstration. "By partnering with CO 2 Solutions, we were able to access their broad patent portfolio, which covers various processes for the use of carbonic anhydrase, and apply Codexis technology to make biocatalysts work under harsh, real-world conditions." Codexis used its patented CodeEvolver™ directed evolution technology to develop processes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of carbon dioxide in nature. CodeEvolver TM can be used to create and deploy CA biocatalysts with substantially improved stability and performance under industrial conditions. "Codexis has pushed enzyme-based carbon capture technology to a level that surpassed all expectations, and we've succeeded in demonstrating that this could be a viable solution," said John Nicols, President and CEO of Codexis. "This achievement proves that Codexis CodeEvolver™ directed evolution technology can impact industries well beyond fuels, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals."

The Dark Tide shall rise...Darkness Visible (2011) is a Victorian-set Science-fiction/Fantasy novel by British author Pip Janssen.It is set in 1895, in a world which is identical to our own history except for one key fact: there are people, known as venturers, who can travel instantly between locations by tearing holes (Thresholds) in the fabric of reality. However, Thresholds are not entirely safe, and a bad one will cause unreality to leak in from beyond the world, with potentially fatal consequences.The book follows the exploits of Lord Henry Lewis, a Warden responsible for keeping an eye on Threshold activity in London and closing dangerous Thresholds before they cause any trouble. However, his job has become more than usually difficult, because someone or something is opening a lot of very dangerous Rogue Thresholds, which can kill or madden ordinary people.In the middle of a particularly nasty crime scene, Lewis runs into William Marsh, who shows the latent talent to become a venturer. Lewis is ordered to teach Marsh, but the two have more than enough reasons to dislike each other, and things are tense.As events overtake them, bonding ensues, and the two men have to put aside their differences to prevent the Big Bad from destroying the world.Basically, the book is a pretty funny buddy-cop movie with elevated English, literary references and some really nice outfits.Probably deserves some kind of award for managing to be Sci-Fi set in 1895 and not be Steam Punk.The book is available here, on Amazon or on Kindle.Not to be confused with a horror novel of the same title by William Golding, or a memoir by William Styron.
