SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (AP) - A report to state regulators opposes a plan to use sonic blasts to conduct earthquake surveys in the waters off of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.
The staff report to the California Coastal Commission say the blasts could cause disturbances among some 7,000 whales, porpoises and other marine animals near the Central California coastal plant.
The commission is expected to vote next week on a request by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to use air guns that would create strong sound waves to map fault zones in a 130-square-mile area.
PG&E spokesman Blair Jones says the utility is committed to safe testing and similar tests conducted around the world haven't had any longtime impacts on marine life.

Matthew DiLuglio's curator insight,
October 12, 2013 5:23 PM
This interactive map shows the varying intensities of population density, and the first thing that I thought of was how low the population density is in my hometown, compared to some of the bigger cities or areas around the world. I am from a rural area of Rhode Island, and there are plenty of farms near my home, as well as woods and ponds. It really is a beautiful area, which made me think that if population densities were so high- the maximum density on the interactive map was over 500 people per square kilometer- that there would be less room for the beauty of the natural world in those densely populated areas. I grew up playing in my woods, and I am always shocked by city-dwellers that live in places where their yards have one or two trees (and are considered to live in 'woodsy' areas of their towns), or have no yards at all. My town has a low population density, and much of the land is occupied by the reservoir, farms, and woodland areas that are not permissible for development. Although my hometown is not a city, it serves the more populated areas- such as Providence- by providing water to their city. It seems the more populated areas drain the surrounding areas of their natural beauty and resources.

Mindblowing interractive map dealing with the population desinty of the world. From tinkering around with this ive seen some scary things. As we all know the North East metropolis area is compact with people from rhode island to delaware and everything in between. but when you take the map to 100 people per square to kilomete it almost disapears. This in itself wouldnt be that bad but when you move the image to 500 per kilometer almost the entireity of India is still there. This is a perfect compaitive example of how jam packed south eastern asia is and its actually pretty scary.

This is a great overview of what is truely happening in the world. How Europe is still seen as a travel destination and perhaps turism is one of its strengths in terms of keeping the economies going in European countries, but its true that much of the economic activity is starting to shift over to Asian countries and its something the "big three", China, the US, and Europe are going to have to look at. These three primarily relied on eachother, but maybe its time to start looking at buisness affairs with other nations like Singnapore and Japan.
Cam E's curator insight,

Many of Europe's initial reasons for uniting have disappeared, but there lies another reason to continue doing so, that being the ability to compete with the US and China as a major superpower. Of course Europe isn't united in the same way that those countries are, and are still individual countries, but a strong economic union might be in their best interest economically. This doesn't mean it would be a good thing though, as consolidating the many countries and identities into one governing body is potentially dangerous, both for the freedom of the people, and for the stability of the region. One could imagine a scenario in the future where former Croatians are being dictated to by a government based out of France or Germany, that have no local or ethnic connection to them. |

Victoria McNamara's curator insight,
December 12, 2013 1:39 PM
Overtime as the population has increased you can see on the map that areas have been over fished. This has caused people to move near the water to fish and it has created some jobs for them. This could be bad becuase as the population increases the fish will decrease due to the over fishing.

Downtown Providence in 1945. Look at all the activity, people shopping and walking, streetcar rails still in the street, cars parked along the side, retail shops, eating establishments, just a hub of activity. I still think this is what it means to be downtown, an area of large activity, a place where stuff is done. What stuff is done, is what changes over time.

A very bold move. Peru definitely is in a good position to utilize Solar Energy well, the question is how much extra it will cost to install electricity into many households in Peru which have none. A big initiative like this will be what it takes for more countries to adopt Solar energy if it works out well. The global warming debate aside, it's still a really empowering notion to have your own energy generated by the sun which can be created in your own backyard. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is LIberty!
Facts about LIberty
- Breed: Calico
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
LIberty's Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, declawed, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Liberty arrived at the shelter with open wounds on her back most likely from a bb gun. They have all healed from the outside but she is a little cautious of new people touching her back. For this reason we believe she would do best in a home with children above the age of 10. She loves her head to be rubbed and enjoys eating canned food. All adoptable cats can be seen at our 829 Union Ave. location in Dover. For more information on Liberty or other cats please call the shelter at 330-602-6762.
Other Pets at Tuscarawas County Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
LIberty, a Dover Calico cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Calico for sale in Dover, or seeking a Calico cat from a breeder in Dover.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Dover already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Dover breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Calico breeders who help with Calico rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Dover paves the way for another one to be saved.

The private pool on the private, 2,500-square-foot terrace of the new $11,200-a-night Presidential Suite at the InterContinental in Hong Kong is constructed in the popular "infinity" style, and thus appears, from certain angles, to share water with Victoria Harbour. If it had regular edges, a man could rest his scotch and his elbows on one of them, gaze through the mist at the jostling skyscrapers of the city, and ponder the condition of humanity in these luxurious early moments of the Third Millennium. As it is, I rise dripping from the pool and pad across the talcum-soft sandstone to my Jacuzzi, the one with the black-glass tiling, not the Hansgrohe Pharo Whirlpool Lugano 340 in my cavernous bathroom. The panorama erupts in Hong Kong's nightly Symphony of Lights, lasers and neon smeared by the tropical humidity, and I busy myself with wondering how it came to this. Who are we?Where are we go—
"Mr. Maddox?"
It's Tatsuo, one of my two 24-hour personal butlers. (The other, Pang, is inside—upstairs, to be specific, as opposed to downstairs—infusing the other Jacuzzi with aromatherapy oils.) Is it possible, Tatsuo wants to know with a bow, that my $6 Hanes T-shirt had a hole in it before I sent it to be laundered?Otherwise he bears tidings of an incident that is as regrettable as it is mysterious. I set his mind at ease. Tatsuo bows and departs. I resume my cogitations.
The concept of the presidential suite dates back to 1880, when Ulysses S. Grant, despite no longer being the president, despite such a thing not even yet existing, apparently demanded he be housed in one during a stay at the New York hotel that later became the Hilton. The experiment was a success, and over the course of the next century other hotels built presidential suites, some of them acquiring individual reputations for extraordinary opulence. One thinks of the Presidential Suite at New York's Waldorf, or the 6,000-square-foot Penthouse Suite at the Fairmont in San Francisco, where Secretary of State Edward Stettinius holed up during the drafting of the UN charter back in 1945.
But in the past few years a new beast has emerged: the purpose-built, insanely extravagant "supersuite." Commonly sprawling over many thousands of square feet, if not an entire floor, and leaving the occupant, usually, with no change at all from $10,000 a night, these lavish new spaces have become de rigueur for the world's best hotels. "It's a curious thing, to tell you the truth," says Priscilla Alexander, travel agent to the super-rich and a T+L A-List All-Star. "There were always top suites, but this emerging group of people, who are spending money in a fashion that's quite"—she pauses—"exemplary, is a new phenomenon."
To Jean-Jacques Reibel, managing director of the InterContinental Hong Kong, whose 7,000-square-foot Presidential Suite opened in January, the supersuite phenomenon is about uniqueness. What customers seem to want for their five-figure-a-night investment is not merely luxury, but unique luxury. "People are looking for an original and exclusive experience," he tells me. "They want to have something that not many people can have."
For Reibel's guests, this means a living room in which you could inflate a hot-air balloon, a truly IMAX view of Hong Kong, a private office where one works overlooked by nine specially commissioned Kowloon dragons wrought from backlit sculpted glass, the aforementioned sprawling terrace, a conference/dining room with video communications facilities, toilet seats that rise automatically when one enters the room, an en-suite gymnasium, an en-suite sauna, and an en-suite steam room. (It's embarrassing to admit but I didn't actually know there was a difference between a steam room and a sauna until I saw the two of them side by side, leading away from my upstairs bathroom. I almost had to lean on one of the hand-carvedfrom-a-single-block-of-marble sinks, I was so taken aback.)
Given the intensity of the supersuite arms race between hotels, however, these outrageous features are merely the price of admission to an increasingly crowded pantheon. At the Westin Excelsior in Rome, residents of the $24,000-a-night Villa La Cupola suite have, since 1998, been availing themselves of a private en-suite cinema. In the $23,000-a-night Imperial Suite of the Hôtel Président Wilson in Geneva, they've been riding a private elevator, enjoying a game of billiards, and then gazing serenely at the Alps through a set of bulletproof windows.
For these are the kind of people who do occasionally get shot at. All the hoteliers interviewed for this article were commendably tight-lipped on the question of who's actually renting these suites, but all agreed the trend owes a lot to that segment of the population one might inelegantly call Newly Rich Foreigners. Of whom there are a lot. This year's Forbes survey unearthed a record 793 billionaires, up from 476 in 2003, many of them hailing from such hitherto unluxurious corners of the world as "Asia" and "Russia." For this sort of client, Priscilla Alexander says, it's often the Presidential Suite or nothing. The matter doesn't even need to be discussed. And why should it be?If you're the kind of person who has recently come into possession of the Russian steel industry, there are far better uses of your time than inquiring aloud whether the toilet seats in the suite you're booking raise themselves automatically when you enter the room. And so, of course they do. Once an oligarch has had his first taste of supersuite living, furthermore, a return to the tawdry world of mere bridal or executive suites is unthinkable. "It's like flying in the front of the plane," Alexander says. "If you've done it enough, the experience is so corrupting that ever returning to the back of the plane is an assault on the senses."

Wellness Treatments:
Fitness Feels the Burn
By: Katherine and Kimberly Corp
Posted: August 23, 2010, from the September 2010 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 4
Further exemplifying the potential of technology and fitness, the Internet presents a wide array of fitness services, giving consumers throughout the world access to fitness videos, exercise tips and weight-loss programs anytime, anywhere. From professional-grade fitness videos to customized personal training programs to weight-loss support groups led by experts, consumers can receive top-quality instruction and advice online at a fraction of the cost of visiting gyms or seeking counseling. Caution is necessary, however, as fitness on the Internet is not systematically regulated. Unqualified amateurs can produce and upload videos demonstrating faulty technique, and websites can post unsubstantiated advice, both of which increase the risk of injury or illness for those who never check in with a professional. Nevertheless, as with all industries, consumers will eventually determine the survival of the fittest, and professional sites with excellent content are expected to thrive in the coming years.
Corporate wellness programs
An expected rise in the number of corporate wellness programs coupled with much-anticipated government health care reforms could positively impact the fitness industry. From on-site fitness facilities to financial incentives for employees who complete certain health programs, corporate wellness programs encourage employees to improve their health and fitness. Research published in Corporate Wellness Magazine shows that companies with wellness plans not only save money on health care costs per employee, but also see improvements in other indicators, such as employee morale, health, productivity and absenteeism. The percentage of companies using financial incentives to promote their health and wellness programs rose to 71% in 2007 from 62% in 2006, according to Merriman Curhan Ford's Fitness and Wellness Report, 2008 .
Moreover, the same report found that every dollar a company invested in a wellness program yielded a $5.82 return. According to a 2007 report by the International Health and Racquet Sports Association (IHRSA), more than 50% of Americans would exercise more if their company provided an on-site facility or a health club membership. The proven success of existing wellness programs is expected to continue to encourage other companies to follow suit.
Health care reform
With the passing of the landmark health care bill in March 2010, the health and wellness industry can expect many changes. The details and full degree of the impact, however, remain unclear. According to reports on the health care bill, certain preventive measures will be covered by the year 2014.1 Depending on which measures are covered—a point that remains to be determined—health clubs and wellness providers could see their revenues increase if their client base is able to apply insurance toward preventive activities, such as gym memberships and mind/body fitness choices. Additionally, the Personal Health Investment Today Act of 2007 (PHIT) bill proposes employees be permitted to use pre-tax dollars to pay for fitness programs and exercise equipment through health savings accounts, such as flexible spending. PHIT continues to gain momentum in Congress, with 25 members of the House currently co-sponsoring the bill.2 The Strengthening Physical Education Act of 2007 addresses the importance of physical education in school curricula, and many states have proposed their own legislation to promote the same.
Unfortunately, predicting the impact of the health bill is impossible; however, history shows Americans do change their behavior according to government recommendations. Most recently, in 2002, the fitness industry experienced a 7.4% increase in health club memberships compared to 2001 after the surgeon general drew attention to the obesity epidemic, according to Merriman Curhan Ford's Fitness and Wellness Report, 2008. Since much of the population cites the expense of health club fees as the reason they quit a health club or never joined, the fitness and wellness industry can be expected to experience an unprecedented boost if the afore-mentioned bills do get passed. According to the IHRSA's 2007 study, four in 10 Americans already exercise two to three times a week, so the number of gym memberships or consumers purchasing fitness products and services for home use could increase significantly with government recommendations. Then, manufacturers of fitness products, and owners of clubs and wellness spas will be competing for the business of these health-inspired consumers.

Is Apple testing offline voice dictation for iOS? [Rumor]
Posted By William E. On July 7, 2013 @ 2:54 AM In iOS | 2 Comments
According to an iClarified report, Apple is reported to be toying with the idea of an offline iteration of voice dictation in their upcoming iOS 7.
Currently, Apple's voice dictation is done using an app called Siri which depends on an internet connection to upload voice information after which appropriate speech is played back to the user also via an internet connection. What if this could be a thing of the past? Lines of code which were examined in the latest iOS7 beta builds certainly suggest that this may be the case. Taking the internet connection out of the equation would no doubt lead to faster conversions from voice to text.
What do you think of this latest revelation?

Utah is home to a wide range of museums that inform, educate and fascinate. From the acclaimed Natural History Museum of Utah to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, Utah is home to a range of world-class museums intended to engage and educate people about our state and our world.
Museums and art galleries, in cities large and small, showcase visual art collections from the representational to the abstract. The Utah Museum of Fine Arts at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City is the largest art museum in the Intermountain West. Its collection includes more than 21,000 works of art: paintings, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and works on paper, from across the globe.
Utah's first museum for the visual arts, the Springville Museum of Art, houses more than 2,000 works, 1,500 of which are created by artists who call Utah home. Its works are representative of over 150 years of Utah fine art. The museum includes 29 galleries and a sculpture garden. For those interested in Utah's current art scene, the Salt Lake City Gallery Stroll, an average of 15 galleries participate each month. The Gallery Stroll commonly features works from many of Utah's greatest currently working artists and broad spectrum of artistic media and expression. Utah has a vibrant art culture of many talented artists, galleries, and museums.
Utah's rich prehistory and geology make it a hotbed for fascinating dinosaur fossils, ancient Native American artifacts, and a geologist's haven of incredible natural phenomena to inspire wonder and study. The newly opened Rio Tinto Center, which serves as the new home for the Natural History Museum of Utah is an excellent starting point for any visit to the state of Utah. The perspective and insight it lends on the state of Utah thoroughly enriches an experience of the state's National and State Parks, soaring mountains and enchanted deserts. The encouraged starting point of the museum is aptly named, "Trailhead to Utah."
A fantastic new museum in Salt Lake City, the Leonardo, is a great place to bring the whole family. It's "a fusion of art, science, and technology," sure to engage adults and their kids. The museum contains much more than exhibits to look at. It truly invites visitors to be a participant in thinking through and solving problems. It inspires minds with scientific innovations and a look at how these innovations work. It's a place for community workshops and life labs where visitors may have the opportunity to mingle with scientists, thinkers, philosophers, creators, and artists.
Utah is dinosaur country. For many millions of years, the state's enchanted desert landscape held within it a fascinating and rich record of time in the form of dinosaur fossils. Utah contains, arguably, the best Mesozoic Era rock record on the planet. Dinosaur National Monument and the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry are both found within the Morrison Formation, which has yielded the vast majority of Utah's well-known dinosaur fossils. Dating back as far as 150 millions years ago, these dinosaur fossils were a part of the Late Jurassic Era. The Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry is famous for the great number of Allosaurus fossils that have been discovered there. Arguably, Utah's most dramatic dinosaur display is found at the Quarry Visitor Center at the Dinosaur National Monument. More than 2,000 fossils are preserved in a 200-foot long wall, which was part of an ancient river sandbar.
In addition, the Cedar Mountain Formation, which overlies the Morrison Formation, is representative of longer time span and has yielded several entirely different dinosaur groups. Late Cretaceous dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus Rex and Torosaurus, have been discovered in the Horn Formation in Central Utah, and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). GSENM is home to the most continuous record of Late Cretaceous Era dinosaurs, which thrived at the end of the age of dinosaurs (approx. 65 million years ago) in the world. Within GSENM, current research is beginning to shed light on previously unknown Utah dinosaurs.
Many of Utah's museums are devoted to preserving the heritage and culture of our state. Preserved Artifacts, exhibits, photographs and more, all help to bring back a fascinating time period in the American West.
Most cities and towns in Utah also have Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museums. These assorted collections include wonderful treasures. Inquire locally for details.
For a detailed list of Utah's Museums contact the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, (801) 236-7555, or visit www.utahmuseums.org/museum-directory.

Wow. You sound alot like the chemical engineers I work with. I can hardly understand them as well.<Sigh> I was totally expecting a Tobin the Science Guy answer.
Let me try. I'm no Tobin, but I'll give it my best shot.
I think there is a lot of misinformation about what's on your mask lens and how it got there. Most masks these days are made with silicone rubber skirts. The skirts are formed in a mold from liquid silicone rubber. When the molded skirt is still green (fresh out of the mold) it offgasses a lot of nasties. Stuff with names like phenyl benzoate and propanoic acid ester (sp?). Many of the chemicals offgassed are various silicone oils. (see this document for more sciencey details) They evaporate out of the silicone and unfortunately some condenses on the glass lens. It takes a long time for the silicone to fully cure. In fact it never really finishes. It will be offgassing 20 years from now, albeit at a much much slower rate than it was the day it was boxed up and sent to your LDS. So probably the worst thing you can do is keep your mask stored in an unventilated bag/box. Let it breathe and less oil should condense on the lens. I think the reason tooth-paste works so well is it mechanically removes the oils. Silicone oils are resistant to most solvents. It's about impossible to wash off, but toothpaste is a thick paste abrasive and removes it mechanically rather than chemically. I'm guessing, but I think that's why it is effective where so many other agents fail. This is why I love an old mask. As it ages the silicone offgasses less and less and it's easier to keep fog-free. In my opinion a brand new mask needs the toothpaste treatment rather frequently (monthly?). As the mask ages you have to do it less frequently. I'm down to annually on my current mask (3-4yrs old).

Projects in Progress
Major Projects, Renovations and Upgrades
Site preparation and construction began in late June 2012 for the 90,000-square-foot structure, that will stand next to the Trent Lott National Center for Excellence in Economic Development and Entrepreneurship. The future home of the College of Business is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2015. Impact: All of the parking available in Loyalty Field, has been blocked, and will not re-open. Additional parking is available in the parking garage. Other disruptions to power or water may occur, but will be coordinated or communicated accordingly.
To be located on the western edge of campus on the corner of Montague and Ross Boulevard, this state-of-the-art facility will increase the square footage dedicated to the College of Nursing by 135 percent. The building will feature student interactive areas, an enlarged & enhanced clinical simulation lab, as well as computer labs and classrooms. Construction began in June of 2014, with an estimated completion in the Summer of 2016.
Impact: The spaces in the Theatre & Dance parking lot, from Ross Boulevard to the Wesley Foundation building have been permanetly consumed by the project. Additional outages or interruptions will me announced as the project progresses.
To be built in accordance with the university's master plan, the 954-bed residential complex will include a new student medial clinic, the Luckyday Scholarship administrative offices and a multi-purpose park.
Impact: The project will be completed in two phases: demolition and construction. During the demolition phase, Vann Hall, Scott Hall and the east end of Bond Hall were torn down. Expect loud noises in the surrounding areas, as well as an abundance of dust. When the construction phase began, Black and Gold Ave, and its associated parking from the west end of Thad Cochran to the west end of the Football Field House, were absorbed by the project. Demolition began in August or September of 2012, with construction completion of buildings B and C in July 2014, and Building A in January 2015. There will be scheduled outages associated with the demolition and construction phases of this project. At times there may be street closures and detours, all of which will be coordinated and communicated as necessary.
Age and growth in usage are the catalyst for improvements and upgrades that will be made to the electrical infrastructure supplying power to every building on the Southern Miss campus. Beginning in June of 2012, transformers, conductors, and other infrastructure components were subject to upgrades, and as a result, electrical outages will occur in various stages as the project progresses through 2014. Impact: Shut down of power to buildings will be coordinated and scheduled during periods when the least number of people and events are affected.
Committed to providing the maximum reduction in energy costs, the Physical Plant will upgrade and make additions to the University's HVAC control infrastructure. Energy Reduction retrofits will include incorporation of new technologies into the 11 chiller plants and various buildings. Begun in May of 2012, the energy improvements and repairs will continue through 2014. Impact: Chiller plant shut downs, which will affect the air conditioning of designated buildings, will be scheduled primarily on weekends, holidays and periods when the least number of students, faculty and staff are affected.
With the goal of reducing utility costs on the Hattiesburg campus, the second phase of the Campus Lighting Upgrade took place during the holiday break of 2012. Phase one of the upgrades added lighting improvements to the outdoor walking areas from McLemore to Southern Hall. Phase two of the upgrade will include the replacement of outdoor lighting with new energy efficient LED fixtures, in the areas between Southern Miss Drive and Centennial Lawn. The project will also include the installation of six new code blue emergency phones.

Page 1 of 7 Here is a long story about getting stiffed by a client. If you're an independent consultant, it's worth taking the time to read it all the way to the end. If you're one of these people that is always on the lookout for ammunition to use against the current Liberal government of BC, it's worth reading the last page. I hung out my shingle as a free-lancer over four years ago, and am always on the lookout for more clients. I responded to a notice in the van.jobs newsgroup for a PHP/MySQL programmer in February, 2004. The ad was placed by Mark Pratley, who has a company called Coast Internet Publishing. When I got together with him, the story was that he had a client named Wayne Stripp, who had a company called Empery Software, and a product called Sales Sniper. Sales Sniper is advertised as a "contact management" program. A more accurate tag would be "tracking of email advertising campaigns". It does email broadcasts, and tracks who has read the emails, and visits to advertised web sites. I wouldn't classify it as a spamming program, because there isn't anything in it to hide the identity or location of the sender, and a user of Sales Sniper is responsible for acquiring his own list of email addresses. I worked up an itemized estimate of how much the improvements would cost. It was about two months of work, which, of course, Stripp wanted done a month ago. Pratley reduced the estimate a bit, a contract was signed, I got an advance for $805 (Pratley got an advance, too), and I started programming. The biggest problem that came up at this stage was, although most of the product was written in PHP, there was also a Windows desktop program that the email broadcaster runs, that gives him real-time notification of when an email is read or a web site is accessed. This program was written in Visual Basic. When I told Stripp that I needed the VB source code to do any work on it, neither he nor Pratley had a very good idea of what I was talking about, but the bottom line was, the source code wasn't there. Pratley suggested disassembling the program, a technique that worked 20 years ago, but is no longer practical. So, the program had to be written from scratch using C++ Builder; not a huge job, but this obviously blew the original estimate out the window. However, a much more serious problem soon manifested itself. I received another $500 from Pratley, which meant that I had received $1,305 for about $7,500 worth of work. I took the attitude that no more development would be happening until I started seeing money. This led to a conversation with Stripp, who said that Empery Software had given about $5,000 to Pratley, and he had pocketed most of it. Stripp said that I could cut a new deal with Empery Software, and I would get paid what I was owed. The specifications I had been getting from Stripp were pretty good, and I thought this project could go somewhere, so I agreed to this, and received $1,500 from him at the end of April 2004. It was after that when things started going seriously off the rails. I started putting some long hours into this project because of an upcoming demo that Stripp had told me about. I made a raft of changes that he requested, but when I asked him about keeping the financial commitment he made, I kept getting told, "tomorrow", or "as soon as this big demo for investors happens." The date for the "big demo" came and went, and still no money. I dropped this effort to spend time on clients who pay me. After a while, I sent Stripp an invoice by registered mail. The invoice was returned by Canada Post. It was time to go to small claims court.
2005-11-26 03:46
I was partners in a magazine in Australia about ten years ago with an old high school friend. When I decided to move to Canada, he agreed to buy my share of the business, for about 20c on the dollar I might add, and pay me in installments.
Of course, as soon as I was out of the country, the payments ceased, and since I was supposed to be living on them as I got myself settled in BC, I was kinda screwed six ways from Sunday. Short of flying home and taking the guy to Small Claims, I had to just write it off after a few lawyer letters were ignored. The bottom line is that, in business, you can trust nobody. Absolutely nobody. And as a freelance writer, I only take jobs in which I've received at LEAST a 50% down payment in advance. Sure, you lose the occasional job over that demand, but chances are you're better off not dealing with someone won't lay down a big slice of the job up-front.

The Center draws upon the expertise of a wide range of investigators with complementary interests in diabetes, obesity, inflammation, lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis. Members of the Center's faculty conduct both basic research to clarify the mechanisms causing diabetes and obesity and their consequences, and translational research to transform their research findings into clinical solutions.
Two-thirds of the adult U.S. population is overweight and one-half of those individuals – one-third of the adult population – are obese. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (formerly known as "adult-onset") has also increased markedly in recent decades not only among adults, but in children as well. Although type 1 diabetes is less common, it is a potentially devastating disorder affecting both children and adults and, while treatments for both types of diabetes exist, neither is curable and effective treatments for obesity have yet to be developed.
Much of the good we accomplish is made possible by private support: by people and organizations underwriting leading-edge research and providing funding to train promising fellows. With your help, the DOCE is improving lives throughout the Northwest and around the world.
Letters of Intent are due by January 5, 2015 and the deadline for applications is February 23, 2015.

Mann Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California is one of the top five "germiest" tourist destinations in the world, according to the editors of TripAdvisor.com, a travel advice web site. The theater is a popular tourist destination because of the hundreds of celebrity handprints and footprints pressed into concrete on its forecourt.
I couldn't find a report on TripAdvisor.com itself, but CNN ran the story and it's available online:
The sidewalk is littered with 246 celebrity hand and footprints that draw in 4.5 million visitors a year, many of whom put their own hands and feet on them. The site began as an accident in 1927 when Norma Talmadge, a famous actress 1920s, stepped into wet cement. Creator and owner of the theater, Sid Grauman, decided to make the hand and footprints a tradition.
"The stars are selected based on the longevity of their career," said Levi Tinker, a tour guide at the Grauman Theatre. "Stars who will be around 10 to 20 years from now are picked so people know who they are."
So, if you want to put your hands in George Clooney's, you may want to pack the hand sanitizer. The good news is that the tour guide says the concrete is mopped daily and pressure washed once a week.

CAMPO, Calif. (AP) - A fast-moving wildfire in a rural part of eastern San Diego County has forced the evacuation of about 80 homes.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says the fire has blackened 1,000 acres since it began Sunday afternoon near the Campo Indian Reservation.
Fire Capt. Mike Mohler said 20 mph winds were fanning the flames rapidly to open country in the east.
Moe than 200 firefighters are at the scene. An evacuation center was being set up at a high school in the nearby community of Pine Valley.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Southern Star MinPin Rescue, Inc. (SSMPR) is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of Miniature Pinschers (minpins) of all ages. Upon entering our care, each minpin is evaluated for general health and updated on vaccinations.

Prospective owners and family members are carefully screened and the home premises inspected before the minpin is introduced into the new environment. At a future date, a follow-up visit is made by SSMPR, to ensure that all is going well.
SSMPR, remains available as a supportive resource to the family for the life of the minpin. All new owners of a minpin from SSMPR, are required to sign a contract agreeing to maintain the best possible health of the minpin and further stating that,in the event circumstances change and the minpin can no longer remain in their home, it must be returned to SSMPR and cannot be sold, given away or taken to a shelter for replacement.
If you are interested in adopting a Miniature Pinscher please complete an Adoption Application and submit it online and you will be contacted by a representative.

To create these prints, Warhol started with a source photograph, enlarged the print, and made a freehand line drawing onto the subject's face. He then collaged fragments of colored paper onto the drawing and made silk screens of them. The effect is ironic because silk screens, a medium he frequently used, involve a photomechanical process that removes the artist's touch. Roy Lichtenstein, another pop artist, left his images without the record of his hand so that they looked as if they were created by a machine. Warhol uses subtle benday dots in the shadows of these faces, one of Lichtenstein's hallmarks, and a printing technique derived from pulp comic books of the 1950s and 1960s. With the benday dot, Warhol makes a connection between these self-transformative Jews and comic book superheroes.
However, with these portraits, we can also see Warhol's human touch in his rendering of the curvy lines in Meir's hair and in Buber's beard. It's as if Warhol couldn't resist leaving a trace of himself in his subjects. The scribbled lines energize, rather than mechanize, these portraits. The effect of hanging these portraits in one room is the powerful feeling that these figures have been re-animated. The faces push up against the surface, creating an immediacy with the viewer. The riotous color and geometric shapes, and the solid presence of these weighty Jewish heads made me feel that these figures were somehow alive and about to engage in conversation. It's a Last Supper of Genius Jews without the table and the food. For a moment, in that small room in the middle of Milwaukee, I felt as if I were surrounded by family.

England under Stuart Lancaster seem to be building something special (though we've been saying that for over two years now) but they haven't got a Six Nations title or currently a consistent record against the Sanzar nations. Yet they have provided moments and performances that suggest they could challenge in the long run or if the stars align next year.
As I sat there watching the last few seconds tick ever closer to confirming England's place a-top of the Women's Rugby Union World, I asked, we aren't that bad at sport are we? ... we are actually in a golden period for British sport. If you go through the most popular sports in the UK, you will find we have world beaters everywhere, including football.
There are rarely any dull moments; huge collisions, eye-watering feat, fierce rivalries and deft skills means that if you switch off for a second during a match you'll miss something... Rugby is a physically dangerous sport, on a weekly and even daily basis players put their bodies and indeed lives on the line.
Ever get the sense the world is in danger? In fairness there's probably not been a minute since the earth started spinning that we haven't been (big bangs are like that) but imminent trouble seems to be reaching Taylor Swift levels of proximity.
If there's one certainty about the Six Nations it is that the emotional journey of Scottish fans will swing between despair and ecstasy and Scotland's 51-3 defeat to Wales last Saturday brought the curtain down on another campaign which ran the usual gambit of emotions...
It's St Patrick's weekend in Northern Ireland, and the lawnmowers are limbering up. For a week or two, now, the rainfall has slowed, the birds have been singing for nesting territory, and underpinning their chorus is that lower, guttural sound: the growling of the First Lawnmowers of Spring.
It does occur to me that maybe, just maybe taking to the social media airwaves in the lead up to any big bruising encounter isn't perhaps the best preparation they could get involved with, given that not everyone has positive things to say all the time.
Understandably people are annoyed and upset but what did we expect? Could you really expect Warren Gatland to leave behind the likes of Tommy Bowe, Richie Gray and Dan Lydiate? It's not that he does not have other fantastic options open to him but quite simply he has to pick the best squad that he feels has the ability to defeat the Wallabies.
If I were a headmaster (some thought really!) my report would be predominantly positive, with underlying concerns about being too defensive and encouragement to take the risk and blood some attacking talent. But a pat on the back for the captain and maybe even a gold star.
When people ask me about this England v Wales game, one of the biggest challenges for the England players is understanding how much this means to the Welsh players, to the Welsh supporters and the country as a whole.
Everyone is aware that the Italy game wasn't the performance we were aiming for, and I'm sure people could see that by the looks on our faces at the end of the game. It was a tough day at the office but we must give credit to Italy as they played out of their skins.
There is something very special about a Lions tour, and despite my on-the-field melt down, I made some great friends, and learnt a huge amount about myself and my rugby. It was exactly the kick up the arse that I needed to realise that I did want to carry on playing and that I was not the centre of the Universe (something that I still struggle with from time to time!)
During the match I'll be on hand if any jerseys are ripped or bloodied. I tend to be up and down at least 20 times, so you don't really take in everything that happens on the pitch. I'll generally watch the recording the day after the match so see exactly how the team played!
The French come with no pressure, no expectation, and that is when they are at their most dangerous. If England take to the field with the right attitude, then they have the ability to win, if they lose focus at any time, then the French could start smiling.
Ahead of the game against France at the weekend, England and Harlequins winger Mike Brown, 27, gave me his views on the game, the possibilities of an England Grand Slam, his chances of Lions selection and missing Quins tilt for the title.
In the middle of this intense rivalry, stakes as high as you could want them, the O2 brand identity was sitting pretty on the shirts of both England and Ireland. Is it smart for a brand to openly court the allegiances of not just two distinct fan bases, but two rival nations in the same tournament?
