Music videos have been an integral part of the music industry since they rose to prominence in the 80s, and the popularity of music videos on the internet continues to make them fashionable today. Some of the techniques filmmakers use include: live action, animation, documentary, and abstract film. The blending of these various styles have turned the music video into an art form — with infographics becoming another popular tool filmmakers can use to achieve their desired results. [Read more…]
Around the World in a Fire Engine.
Many kids have dreams of being firemen. Most don't have dreams of driving a fire engine around the world, but Steve Moore had that dream and just made it a reality. So what is the drive behind a project like this? After his father fell ill with lung cancer, Steve wanted to do something to honor him while trying to fight this terrible disease. As the fire chief of Steve's home town, his father was proud to learn of the journey while he was still alive and fighting his illness. He passed away before the journey began, but [Read more…]

Water Changes Everything
Charity Water reminds us in this motion graphic that a billion people live without clean drinking water. For most of us it takes only a few seconds to get water, but for some it takes a 3 hour walk in harsh conditions to get even marginally potable water. The daily struggle to obtain water keeps many people occupied during time that could be spent working, learning or interacting with family.
Syd Mead And The Playboy Land Yacht
The swinging 60s stoked the fire for Hugh Hefner's bathrobe and tobacco pipe aesthetic. The 70s witnessed the ascension of Playboy to the zenith of popular culture, and Hefner became the envy of every red blooded American male; beautiful women, wild all-night parties, and a lenient attitude toward drugs. The magazine came to represent the culture of the 70s, with Hefner branding himself as a bon vivant and man about town. If Playboy became Hefner's platform for promoting his hedonistic lifestyle, then the design of the Playboy Land Yacht was his chariot. [Read more…]

A landmark study of religious courts and tribunals across the UK is to be carried out by researchers at Cardiff University.
A team from Cardiff Law School and the Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK will address concerns which were raised in the aftermath of the Archbishop of Canterbury's lecture on Religious and Civil Law in 2008, which provoked an animated debate concerning the extent to which English law should accommodate religious legal systems, such as Sharia law.
The project, 'Social Cohesion and Civil Law: Marriage, Divorce and Religious Courts', has been funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council / Economic and Social Research Council Religion and Society Programme with an award of £79,862.
It will explore how religious law already functions alongside civil law in the area of marriage and divorce. It examines the workings of three religious courts in detail: a Jewish Beth Din; a matrimonial tribunal of the Roman Catholic Church; and a Muslim 'Sharia Court'. The project asks 'What is the legal status of these courts?' and 'How do they operate in relation to marriage, divorce and remarriage?'
The research team is led by Professor Gillian Douglas, an expert on family law and Head of School at Cardiff Law School. She is joined by Dr Sophie Gilliat-Ray, Director of the Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK, Professor Norman Doe, Director of the Centre for Law and Religion, Russell Sandberg, a lecturer in law at the University and a Research Associate.
Commenting on the project, Professor Douglas said: "The research will involve scrutiny of a sample of files concerning the cases dealt with by the courts and a series of interviews with court personnel. The project is ground-breaking in that although there have been some empirical investigations into the courts or tribunals used by particular religious traditions, no study to date has sought to compare the work of courts or tribunals of different religions and how they relate to the law of the State.
"The project aims to contribute to a greater understanding of whether religious legal systems pose a threat to social stability and cohesion and also to serve as a catalyst for further interdisciplinary research."
The project begins in April 2010 and runs for one year. It will include a Symposium at Cardiff in March 2011.

LAS VEGAS–Occasional and casual dining furniture Steve Silver Co. has taken a permanent 9,828 square-foot showroom at the winter Las Vegas Market being held Jan. 28 to Feb. 1.
Steve Silver will show in space A-1016. The company had been showing in a temporary space that was about 5,000 square feet in Building C, so the new showroom doubles its space.
"We'll be introducing a great deal of new product across all our categories, including home office and leather upholstery," said David Corbin, chief operating officer. "Having a stronger presence in Las Vegas will help us expand our business in the West, making us more accessible to retailers in the region."

Granted, the spellcheck in our newsroom's computer system just short-circuited, but consider these potential special guests on the Courthouse Square in downtown Cleveland on Saturday and Sunday: Fuji, Gala, Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, Delicious and Granny Smith, just to name a few.
For the fruitless, let us offer this hint. They're apples. All of them.
Yes, autumn has arrived ... finally ... and with its inviting rainbow colors and snuggly breezes comes the 2013 Cleveland Apple Festival. It starts Saturday at a crisp 10 a.m. and runs until ... say about, 7 p.m. And then it starts up again Sunday at 1 p.m. and will conclude five hours later. That's 6 p.m. for those still pondering the applelicious thing.
Of course, we jest with this lighthearted approach to the popular Apple Festival because that's what the fall season does. It makes us giddy. It lends itself to all things outdoors, freshly baked goodies, morning coffee, an evening hot chocolate, a hike across leaf-covered forest floors and a Saturday afternoon picnic.
The Cleveland Apple Festival heightens all the senses.
Noses follow the scintillating aroma of homemade apple pies, cakes and crisps, and tastebuds are ignited at their sight.
Ears perk at the entertaining sound of musicians who take the Courthouse Plaza stage with uplifting lyrics and outdoor beats that befit these autumn moments of good time, light humor and unending smiles. We're talking gospel, oldies, blue grass, Christian rock and anything sung from the heart and presented to the downtown masses with love.
Eyes go wide at the many booths and vendors, whether their fare is food, beverage, products, services or outreach.
Smiles beam at the pageantry, and that's the Sunday afternoon Kodak moments when the Apple Festival crowns Little Miss Apple Blossom, Junior Miss Apple Blossom and Miss Apple Blossom. Sparkling lasses ages 5 to 12 will be putting on their best farm or country girl outfit to compete. The contest starts at 5 p.m.
The Apple Festival offers many favorites, but one of the biggest — and this time of year the tastiest — is the apple dessert contest. How can we best say this? Yum! Yum!
A cash prize will be awarded to the best homemade apple dessert in the area. Submissions will be accepted at the gazebo between 11:15 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Got a favorite recipe from grandma's cupboard or one that's been handed down for generations or even one you've nurtured on your own? Bake it and bring it. That's the only advice we can offer, but we know the Apple Festival judges would say the same.
Two special vendors for the weekend will be the four-station trampoline and the Gyro-X-Treme. The Trailhead Bicycle Co. will give away a bike both Saturday and Sunday. And festival goers will find plenty more family-friendly activities.
A two-day pass will cost $6 for adults, $4 for seniors and for children ages 3 to 12. A one-day pass will be $4 for adults and $3 for seniors and children ages 3 to 12.
As much fun as the Apple Festival brings to downtown Cleveland each year, its mission is just as endearing. The festival is a 501(c)(3) that donates its proceeds to help fund other nonprofit organizations in the Cleveland area. Now that's a cause!
Special thanks to this year's sponsors who are making the Apple Festival possible: Apple Valley Orchard, MainStreet Cleveland, Trailhead Bicycle Co., Dimensional Sound Productions, Living Word Church, Santek Waste Service, 4 Streams Aquaponics and this newspaper, the Cleveland Daily Banner.
We can't think of a reason not to attend. That's why we figure we'll be seeing you ... Saturday. Sunday or heck, maybe both!

gp60 has better i7 haswell, I agree the ge60 is a much better gaming rig for the small price difference. but if you don't play many games the gp60 seems like a better choice to me.
Printable View
I would agree with this is as well.
I prioritized the powerful CPU over the GPU and then considered cost, which led me to the GP60.
For those who money is tight (like me) the GP60 is a excellent alternative for less.
I haven't regretted the purchase not one bit.
In absolutley every photo I've seen, there seem to be orange lights behind 5 of the 6 buttons at the top of the machine... how do I turn those on?
Hi everyone,
I am expecting my GP60 tomorrow, will get back to you about first impressions. Just a quick question though, has anyone actually used the msata connectors beneath the wifi card with an ssd to see if they are actually working? I have read that they are not active and MSI FAQ says that the GP60/70 do not have msata:
Thanks for your help
So I finally took photos of the area under the wireless card in my MSI GP60 2OD-070US.
Angle 1
Angle 2
So there are two slots there, one is occupied by the wifi card and is supposingly a PCI Express Mini Card slot and the one beneath it is just one (not two) msata connection? If so, they might look alike but are not the same, the PCI Express Mini Card slot cannot be used for an msata ssd (Serial ATA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
Can someone that has used the lower msata slot with an ssd verify this?
Another angle of the slots.
Attachment 105248
So there are still two questions I have in this thread that are outstanding... NO ONE has answered them (one dates back to September!)
Someone mentioned his GP60 came with a "Windows 7" keyboard. How does the Win 7 kb differ from the Win 8 kb?
Also, I mentioned, that in 99.9999% of photos, there are orange LED's behind the buttons at the top (except the power which is orange/blue). Does anyone know how to get those lights to light up?
I have to be honest ... as beastly as this machine is ... I miss the sexy shape of the Asus G series machines.

The debate about the frac-sand industry in Winona County and the rest of the region comes down to a question: Does the industry pose threats to the environment, the economy, and the general quality of life for the people who live here?
The best way to answer that question is to study the relevant issues and make a decision based on the outcome of that study. Im writing to urge the Winona County Board to order an environmental review (Environmental Assessment Worksheet is the formal term) about the proposed Nisbit mine, which would, if approved, become Winona Countys first frac-sand mine. The Nisbit project raises many concerns, including:
truck trafficup to 280 trips dailyand the high volume of diesel fumes it would produce in and around Winona, Stockton, Utica and Lewiston;
long-term damage to the local economy through loss of tourism, which is a significant portion of the regions economy;
groundwater contamination, as the Nisbit mine site is in an area known to have a moderate to high susceptibility for sinkhole formation;
inhalation of tiny, invisible sand particles that can cause lung damage for people who live and work along truck routes and near processing plants; and, last but not least,
the degradation of the areas aesthetic beauty and the resulting harm that would do to the overall quality of life in the area.
Theres another reason the County Board should authorize an environmental review: Its the law. Minnesota Administrative Rule 4410.1100, Subpoint 6, REQUIRES an environmental review for any project that may have the potential for significant environmental effects. That description clearly fits the proposed Nisbit mine.
Conducting an environmental review of the Nisbit frac-sand mine proposal is the only sensible, legal step open to the county board.

Some reviews of the Orinoco's fruit suggest it is a "dessert" type banana, others say that those descriptions are optimistic, and it's really more of a plaintain.
Can someone clear me up? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's a dessert banana that has it best flavor when allowed to ripen on the plant and is fully yellow. It can be picked green and cooked tostone style. Because of it's cold hardiness, it's the most commonly grown banana along the Gulf Coast and produces fruit annually once established, even if it encounters a freeze. However, for those of us along the Gulf Coast, there are other bananas we grow that we consider better tasting, like Ice Cream and Raja Puri. Steve |

Today, we explore the thrilling experiences of sexual role playing. This type of sexual play is often very freeing for partners as you get to create a character, step outside of your comfort zone, and explore one of the most highly sexual organs we possess – our minds. Most of the time, sex just happens without any forethought or planning. We get down to the dirty when we are aroused and we make the most of the moment. With role playing, it is important to discuss and communicate with one another beforehand to set the scene, make plans, and discover each other's boundaries and desires. It forces us to take our time and really enjoy the arousal and pleasure.
If you've never engaged in this type of activity before, it might sound silly and feel uncomfortable at first. But you don't have to go running forward, head-first into it. There are many different levels of role playing. You may start off with just changing your frame of mind, thinking of a character, and using talk to play out the scenario. Next time, you may up the ante a bit and add costumes and a pre-determined storyline to start the evening. Halloween just doesn't have to be in October; the naughty French maid can come clean the house of the rich, sexually frustrated man anytime. Ever notice how people's inhibitions are lowered when they are wearing masks at masquerade parties? That wild nature can take place even if there isn't a fancy charity benefit to attend.
It's perfectly healthy and normal to want to explore sexual fantasies, and you should feel comfortable opening up to your partner about what turns you on. Remember to be respectful and keep an open mind when your lover wants to discuss his/her sexual ideals and begins to confide in you with role playing ideas. Your mate may surprise you with what he/she reveals, so it is important to mentally be prepared to be understanding. It is also okay to say "no" if you don't share the fantasy, but be sure to do so in a compassionate way. If this is the case, maybe suggest an alternative that may be similar, but something that you would be more comfortable with.
Unfortunately, sexual role playing isn't something you can learn from an instruction manual or even a witty columnist; it is something that has to be experienced. There are plenty of ideas out there to read about, but only you and your partner know what will ignite the horny toad that is below your surface. Some common fantasies that people have are:
- Teacher/Student
- Service Worker/Lonely Housewife/Househusband
- Artist/Model
- Escort/Client
- Doctor or Nurse/Patient
- Boss/Secretary
- Kidnapper/Hostage
The possibilities are endless and only limited by your own imagination. Remember that role playing is not simply about pretending to be someone you aren't; it helps both of you confide in one another sexual desires and inclinations that you may otherwise not admit. You both may be playing characters, but the game can also safely reveal parts of yourself without worrying about rejection or hurt feelings. By shedding your inhibitions, enjoying the game, and sharing the excitement, sexual role playing can take you to higher planes of sexual ecstasy. Once you give in to this kinky play, you and your lover will begin to feel more comfortable with it and with each other. After a while, you both may grow new ideas for even more adventures to explore with one another.
Make me proud and enjoy all the sex in Baltimore!

Driver Randy Pobst, of Gainesville, GA opened up the 2010 World Challenge GT season with
a flag-to-flag win at the Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg. Starting from the overall pole in the first combined-class World Challenge race since 1999, Pobst received a pre-race gift when second-qualifying Dino Crescentini's No. 4 Centric Parts/Stoptech/GMG Porsche 911 GT3 headed to the pits on the formation lap with an electrical issue. With his No. 6 K-Pax Racing Volvo alone on the front row, Pobst rocketed away from the standing start and never looked back, taking a 1.189-second win over teammate Andy Pilgrim, of Boca Raton, FL. James Sofronas, of Newport Beach, CA finished third. Pobst averaged 72.367 mph over the 33-lap, 59.4-mile race that was slowed by one caution to retrieve a disabled car. It was Pobst's 23rd-career World Challenge win, tying him for third all-time with Michael Galati.
Sunday, March 28, 2010
Dino Crescentini, of Manhattan Beach, CA rocketed away from his second starting position and led all the way to take Sunday's Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg World Challenge Round Two GT class and overall win. Driving the No. 4 Centric Parts/Stoptech/GMG Porsche 911 GT3, Crescentini appeared to get away slow from the standing start, but had momentum to get past polesitter Randy Pobst's No. 6 K-Pax Racing Volvo S60 as the field funneled into Turn One. From there, it was smooth sailing for the Porsche driver, reversing his bad luck from Saturday's race, in which his new Porsche developed an electrical problem and retired. Crescentini took his third-career World Challenge series victory by 0.848-second over teammate James Sofronas, of Newport Beach, Calif. He averaged 66.764 mph in the race slowed by a pair of caution periods and limited to 50 minutes.
GTS CLASS – ROUND ONE - Saturday, March 27, 2010
Peter Cunningham of Milwaukee, WI went flag-to-flag in the Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg in round one of the GTS class for his record 33rd World Challenge victory. Driving the No. 43 Acura/RealTime Racing Acura TSX, Cunningham topped Brandon Davis, of Huntington Beach, CA by 2.695 seconds. Cunningham led Nick Esayian's No. 34 Acura/RealTime Racing Acura TSX from the standing start but it was Davis who charged from last overall on the grid after missing qualifying. Davis, the 2009 GT Champion, came to St. Petersburg without the intention of running in the race and was nominated the morning of the first race to drive the No. 1 Acura/RealTime Acura TSX. A caution period allowed Davis to close some real estate on Cunningham, but he couldn't get close enough to mount a serious challenge.
GTS CLASS – ROUND TWO - Sunday, March 28, 2010
For the second-straight day, Peter Cunningham led start-to-finish in his No. 43 Acura/RealTime Racing Acura TSX to capture the GTS-class win at St. Petersburg, the record-extending 34th of his career. While his Saturday run was never in doubt, Sunday was different, as teammate Brandon Davis pressured him in the No. 1 Acura/RealTime Racing Acura TSX in the race's closing laps. Cunningham beat Davis to the checkered flag by just 0.544-second. Davis started last in the field after missing qualifying, but again worked his way up to second, setting the race's fastest lap, a record 1:25.687 (75.624 mph) in the process. RealTime's third car, with Nick Esayian aboard, finished third.

The first World Challenge race under new Touring Car regulations delivered a first-time race winning driver and manufacturer when Todd Buras, of Daytona Beach, FL grabbed victory in his inaugural Series appearance. Buras started his No. 49 Irish Mike's Racing Volkswagen Jetta GLI second on the grid and after an eventful first standing start in which he accidentally had the car in reverse as the lights went out, Buras found himself fighting his way back up to the top for the win. Teammates Robert Stout and Dan Gardiner in the DG-Spec Scion tCs finished second and third respectively.
Sunday, March 28, 2010
After winning in his series debut on Saturday, Todd Buras, repeated the feat on Sunday, giving the No. 49 Irish Mike's Racing Volkswagen Jetta its second-consecutive World Challenge Touring Car win on the Streets of St. Petersburg. Buras got away cleanly from his second-starting position, but fell to fourth as the field entered Turn One, led by polesitter Mark Hein, of Clearwater, FL. As the Touring Cars exited Turn Three, they came up on the GT Porsche of Patrick Lindsey sideways in the course. Buras picked his line and ended up passing Hein's No. 38 Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Honda Civic Si for the lead in the melee. Robert Stout in the DG-Spec Scion tC finished second while Hein finished third.

[1109] Immunohistochemical Panel of p16, p63 and Ki-67 Is Useful in Distinguishing Mucinous Adenocarcinomas of Endometrium (MUC-ADs) from Microglandular Hyperplasia (MGH) of Endocervix.
Anupma Nayak, Nora J Morgenstern, Tawfiqul A Bhuiya. Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, New Hyde Park, NY
Background: MUC-ADs of endometrium represent 10% of all endometrial carcinomas. Owing to their overall bland cytology and frequent microglandular architecture, these lesions are difficult to differentiate from benign MGH of endocervix, particularly in the small volume endometrial curettings/biopsies. This study aims to determine a useful immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel for distinguishing MUC-AD of endometrium from MGH of endocervix.
Design: A total of 23 cases of MUC-AD of endometrium were selected from our institution's pathology database between the years 2006 to 2010. Eleven cases of MGH of endocervix were used as control group. All cases were stained for p63, p16, vimentin, CEA, CD10, and Ki-67 antigens. Staining intensity and the percentage positivity for each stain was evaluated.
Results: None (0%) of the MGH endocervix cases were positive for p16 whereas, 21/23(91.3%) MUC-ADs of endometrium cases showed moderate to strong nuclear and cytoplasmic staining for p16 in ≥50% of tumor (avg. staining, 76.4%). Nuclear staining for p63 was noted in all(100%) the MGH cases (avg. staining, 93.2%) in a distinct continuous, linear and basal pattern. Although, 20/23(87%) MUC-ADs of endometrium showed nuclear positivity for p63, the pattern was focal, random and scattered (avg. staining 16.1%). CEA highlighted the surface and apical cytoplasm of the mucinous epithelium in all (100%) the MUC-ADs of endometrium (avg. staining, 62.8%). However, 4 of 11 MGH cases (36.4%) also expressed positivity for CEA (avg. staining, 17%). Ki-67 staining index was >5% in only 1/11(9%) cases of MGH of endocervix, in contrast to 17/23(73.9%) cases of MUC-ADs of endometrium. All 23(100%) cases of MUC-ADs showed basal cytoplasmic/membranous epithelial staining for vimentin (avg. staining, 70.2%). However, 4 of 11(36.4%) MGH cases also showed positivity in ≥50% of epithelial cells. CD10 was positive in stromal cells of 23/23(100%) cases of MUC-ADs of endometrium and 7/11(63.6%) cases of MGH.
Conclusions: A combined IHC panel of p16, p63 and Ki-67 is useful in distinguishing MUC-ADs of endometrium from MGH of endocervix. Diffuse and strong expression of p16, lack of continuous, linear and basal staining for p63, and increased Ki-67 index (>5%) strongly favors a diagnosis of MUC-ADs of endometrium over MGH of endocervix. CD10, CEA and Vimentin are non-contributory in this context. The exact mechanism of diffuse p16 expression in MUC-ADs of endometrium is unclear.

You may have seen this new player around the Internets, on our new front page, or perhaps inside of our video commenting plugin for WordPress, but we just haven't had the chance to announce it yet.
Say hello to Viddler's Simple Player.
Thanks to our friend Brad Garland (friend: thegarlandgroup) and his skiing video, you're able to see the great quality and simplicity of this new player. If you'd like, you can swap this out to view a few great macro photos (link will only work on our blog) taken by another Viddler.
Don't need all of the extra, yet awesome, features of our full player? Now you have a choice. Our Simple Player removes all of the fluff and cuts right to the video in a compact, easy-to-use, brand new interface.
How to use the Simple Player
Soon, but not yet, the simple player will be an option here on Viddler.com wherever you find the normal embed code. But for now, all you need to do is change the points in the HTML embed code where it says /player/ to /simple/. This occurs in two locations.
Here is an example embed code for the above video.
Steps to embed simple player: On the main video page for the above video, click MENU > Embed, and copy the embed code. Change the word "player" in two places, to "simple", and you're all set. We're hoping to have new embed options available through our site very soon and we'll let you know when that happens.
Take note of the word "simple" in the embed code, which is the only change! If you need any help getting this setup for yourself, just let us know in the comments!

I heard it's not worth it because free players are too restricted.
Depends on what you want out of the F2P experience. If you want to hit max level doing solo content, you should be fine with the F2P, as it includes the full story arc for every class. If you're more interested in PVP or endgame raids/dungeons, then you'll either be limited in how many you can do each week, or need to spend some cash.
It's similar to other ones from games going F2P after being P2P, such as Everquest's and the now defunct City of Heroes. I agree, it's more limiting than it should be. I do hope it revitalizes the game, however, being one of those who's at the endgame and would like to see more interesting content developed for it.
I wonder if such payment models really give so much more money then let's say just making the game completely free, still offering a good service and just asking for donations. All these kickstarter entries than easily get >$10000 for even a small indie game make it seem that they are indeed many people who like to pay more when it's voluntary.
F2P usually revitalizes a MMO to the point it can remain active. I'm not aware of any AAA games living on donations alone, but I'll be shocked if EA has enough goodwill to get donations.
Last edited by TG Barighm; 11-13-2012 at 04:37 AM.
Perhaps more accurately, F2P has the potential to be more profitable. Moreover, in a 'F2P from the start' you generally only need 1-3% of your playerbase to be paying every 30-60 days to start seeing profit -- that runs the gamut of the person who flips you 5 bucks every couple months to the other end of the spectrum where players are spending hundreds every week. And yes, those people exist.
I see that it won't work with famous companies I guess.
For me EA is probably the most money greedy company ever.
From what I've seen, you want to sell convenience and customization, such as fancy hats or xp boosts. Walling off aspects of your game tend to turn people away. For example, to use purple grade items in SWTOR you'll have to buy a license. I'm entirely decked out in purple gear, so if I wasn't paying, or hadn't bought a license, it'd be unusable by me. I'm curious if they'll grandfather in gear like that, or if I were to lapse in paying, if it would pop off my character like it did in Everquest 2.
Not only that. When they release a game they usually want you to pay for it AND additionally pay a monthly fee. That monthly fee is usually also more expensive than the common monthly fees in MMORPGs. And when they turn F2P, their MMORPGs are the most limited on free mode of all MMORPGs that turned F2P. It really makes you feel they only care about money.
There are more factors for example forced online and prices of add-ons and stuff.
Not exactly a secret, is it? Although Capcom is working hard to supplant them.
Yeah, it's commonly known. In fact many companies turned pretty focused on money only lately. Makes me not want to buy any games from larger companies anymore.
What? I would say that getting the equivalent content of like 8 kotor games for free is pretty darn worth it, regardless of the restrictions on multiplayer content.
For perspective, kotor1 and 2 had zero multiplayer content.
Yeah i think its worth it personally. I cant wait to dive into this 300 million dollar game tomorrow. For free.

How many fire hydrants are there in Bradley County?
How far does a driveway extend?
These and other geographic questions about Bradley County can be answered by the Geographic Information Systems department.
The department works to provides maps with different layers of information to many county departments.
"Probably the main function is … to manage GIS data, so that they can use it to make maps," GIS director Wayne Owenby said. "If you don't have someone to coordinate it, everyone has their own way of doing it, and it doesn't go together."
Owenby said GIS is a good tool to give a good overall view of county data.
The department has layers that give data for everything from the location of houses and streets to trees and stop signs.
This information is laid on top of an image similar to a highly detailed satellite image. The image is constructed from photos taken from a plane flying at about 5,000 feet.
The county contracts an independent company for this service.
"They fly north to south back and forth, and take thousands and thousands and thousands of images and they'll put it together in our structure and it usually takes about four or five months," Owenby said.
A new image is acquired every four years. Owenby said the most recent image is from 2012. He said a number of swimming pools were added to his information as a result of the image.
The aerial photographs limit the amount of structures that have to be manually input into the system. Owenby said when a new structure is built he will go to the site with a portable GPS unit that allows him to determine the exact location and coordinates of property lines to be put into the system.
"By having those points I can go in and draw the parcel lines," Owenby said.
Many times property line information is given to the GIS department by the assessor's office.
Owenby said he is constantly updating the map image to include things that are missing from it, such as a new driveway.
"It's basically just collecting data all day," Owenby said. "The data never stops. It is always changing."
Each line drawn on the GIS map has data attached to it. It is this data that allows Owenby to have different layers of information showing at one time.
Other data the department receives is topographical information that gives depth to the images.
Recently, Owenby worked closely with Bradley County Fire-Rescue to map out how many structures would be covered for different proposed locations of the new fire stations being built.
The Bradley County Fire board looked at the maps with the fire chief to determine the best location for the stations.
Bradley County GIS programs measures miles based on the centerlines of the road.
BCFR was interested in how many structures were within a 5-mile radius.
"It's pretty accurate. The only difference would be, this goes on the centerline of the road, you drive on the right side of the road, so if you're driving on the inside it might be a little shorter. If you are driving on the outside of a turn it might be a little bit further than five miles, but it gives you a general start," Owenby said.
The GIS department also worked with the Bradley County 911 Center to develop information for 911 dispatchers. The information gives the dispatchers information on what is the closest fire station to each major intersection in Bradley County.
In preparation for an inspection of the fire department for insurance ratings purposes, Owenby anticipates he will be spending time adding fire hydrants to his maps.
GIS information is also used by the Bradley County Commission during redistricting years to determine where district lines can be redrawn to meet state requirements. Owenby said some commissioners came to him last time and asked him to map out different options through his programs.
"It was just so simple because the software did everything for you," Owenby said. State requirements dictate the number of residents who need to be in each district. District lines are redrawn every 10 years.
Owenby's department uses the latest U.S. census to estimate how many people live in each area.
The GIS department also works with the engineering department to map out and collect data on culverts.
Owenby's experience with maps began while he was working in the office of the Bradley County assessor of property.
The more map work the county needed, the more GIS work needed to be done. The department was created in 1999. Owenby applied and was chosen for the position, which he has filled ever since.
A GIS committee is a part of joint ventures where the county and city GIS departments need to work together.
A major joint venture is acquiring the new, big picture image every four years.
Owenby said the committee bids the project, chooses the company to complete the project and determines how it will be funded.

I'm a newbie gardener (had a container garden two years ago, and set up a couple square foot gardens for this past summer), and the only thing I've been able to grow really well are peas! I keep growing them, even though no one in my house likes them, because I love looking at those vines climbing up the trellis and bearing pods. I ended up giving them away to one of my friends, who loved them.
But the real reason I'm posting here is beans. I love beans! I grew some Dragon Tongue beans I found at Walmart last summer that I thought hadn't grown at all, but ended up growing a bit after all and giving me about 10 pods that I harvested when I discovered them at the end of the summer. The beans I planted were basic brown, but the ones I got back were white and purple, which was honestly pretty exciting (even though I knew that's how they'd be since that's what the picture on the package was.) So now I'm looking for more cool beans to grow. I'm especially interested in cool colored beans (striped, spotted, interesting colors, etc.) If there's any you can suggest, I'd appreciate it! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you primarily interested in bush or pole types? Or doesn't it matter? You could almost pick varieties at random and get a nice cross section of colors and patterns, there are so many. Given your small space, I would consider one of the multi-color varieites, such as Cherokee Cornfield, Sacks, and Faulkner's Cornfield. These are all pole beans which have as many as 20 different colors and patterns. Snowcap and Mostoler's Wild Goose are both large beans with orange and white markings. Very pretty. Anasazi, Thousand-Year Cave, and Trout are almost indistinguishable, with maroon and white patterns. Etc. Etc. Etc. |
If you can grow beans on a trellis, and color is the main criteria, you might consider Christmas Pole Lima. It produces very large red and white mottled seed; very striking. Take a look at the Seed Savers Exchange online catalog. You can see some pictures there. I agree heartily with Gardenlad about the Trout bean. There's no end to the possibilities. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Seed Savers Exchange Catalog
I was thinking about limas and runners, but figured my post was running kind of long. People often don't realize the diversity of colors and patterns found in the "other" beans. Take Hopi Yellow, for instance, a lima with yellow and black markings. Or some of the butterbeans, whose markings can be spectacular. Despite its bare two-tone coloring, for instance, I think Flossie Powell is gorgeous. |

When it comes to construction, there are change orders and there are change orders.
The Clarksville Town Council got to enjoy the good kind on Monday, when it was announced at a meeting that contractors on a variety of road projects completed during the late summer cost about $55,000 less than expected.
"I think it shows that our town employees are working hard to maximize our savings," Council President John Gilkey said. "Initially, when ... Street Commissioner [Brad Cummings] broke these projects out to various contractors, we saved in excess of $60,000. We saved even more here by closely scrutinizing the work that was done and minimizing the amount of money we had to pay for the projects. It's the right way to do it."
Cummings was able to save on the original projects by bundling work on 12 different projects into five bidding packages, realizing the initial savings. The additional savings came as a result of contingencies built into the contracts for those projects not being needed.
Gohman Asphalt completed work on Marlowe, Tennyson and Byron drives, Bailey and Francis avenues, and Woodstock Drive and Giltner Lane after winning the projects with bids totaling $301,587. Town Engineering Consultant Harold Hart told the council the projects actually cost a total of just $269,538, good for a savings of $32,049.
"It's just typically in an engineering project, we'll always give a 10-percent contingency when we put together bids and estimates and all that," Hart said.
Hart announced two other deductions. The first was work done by Gohman on Saines Road, where the cost of the $64,654 project was reduced to $58,853.
Mac Construction initially bid $80,001 for work on Brooks and Randolph avenues, but the final tally ended up being just $61,762, a savings of $18,239.
"A lot of times with road jobs, you don't know what's going to be underneath those road surfaces until we actually mill it and see what the conditions are underneath," Hart said. "It just so happens that these roads were in fairly decent shape underneath."
Midway Park is permanently closed as effluent lines are under construction as part of the town's wastewater plant expansion.
The facilities formerly located at Midway Park will be moved to the property that formerly housed the Clarksville Drive-In, which the town purchased in October.
A traffic light being installed at the intersection of Blackiston Mill Road and Potters Lane is expected to go live the weekend of Nov. 16, Project Coordinator Brittany Montgomery said.
The signal will initially be set to blink yellow on Blackiston Mill, while the lights facing Potters Lane will blink red. The signal will behave like a normal traffic light after a few weeks, Montgomery said. Montgomery warned Clarksville Police Chief Mark Palmer of the increased possibility of accidents at the intersection as drivers get used to the new signal being there.

I am married with 2 grown sons, and I work as a proofreader. My Italian husband and mother-in-law love it when we try recipes from the 'Zaar, and it's fun for me just to browse and look for typos--I can't help it. My other hobbies are miniature needlework, dollhouses, reading, houseplants and eBay. Since I joined Recipezaar I am cooking more (and better) than ever before. Thanks for a wonderful site!
Since you ask, my pet peeve is inexcusable spelling. Some of the postings on eBay are unbelievable--swade coat, bob wire, Pillsbury doe boy.
My favorite foods are Chicken Marsala, shrimp, dumplings, bread pudding, popovers (anything with dough) and dark chocolate. I am known for Champagne Mustard, One-Pot Chicken Tetrazzini, and German Oven Pancake; my husband Rich is loved for his fabulous Sicilian steak and spaghetti sauce. We enjoy grilled vegetables and eat lots of chicken.
We like the Pasta House Company here in St. Louis and of course Lombardo's.

Essential Summer Cardigan
comfy easy sweater
Love this sweater! Perfect for the spring or summer or into the fall. I wore it yesterday! Is so comfortable and looks great with a tank or tshirt. Color is pretty with the different shades of pink with white as well.

Total dud
I loved the look of this cardigan online, loved the color, expected to love the product--and was very disappointed to receive a shapeless, baggy, poorly knit (arrived with snags!), overpriced (despite the sale price) item that I had no choice but to return.
October 6, 2014
Great color and texture
I happen to love the appearance of marled yarns, and so took a chance on this sweater. As others have said, it's rather delicate and a bit oversized, but I love the bright color and the drape, and it's a good weight for San Francisco spring through fall weather. I also like that the color, depending on what I combine it with, can cross seasons.

Sweater Sheds Lint Like Crazy
I purchased the raspberry colored one. I like the fit but it started shedding all over the shirt underneath immediately. I hand-washed it, hoping it would reduce the shedding. No luck!

Great summer cardigan
I purchased this cardigan to wear over sleeveless black dress I have. It looks great. I purchased size large, but had to return it for a size medium. I should have originally ordered the size Garnet Hill recommended.

This is a nice sweater
The sweater seems nice and true to size. I have not worn it enough to see if it snags or not

Lizano-Sossa Family
Help stop the deportation of the Lizano-Sossa Family. The two Toronto High School Students from Dante Alighieri Academy who were taken out of their school by immigration officials. This sister and brother whose family is originally from Costa Rica were taken out of their respective Grade 9 and Grade 10 classes. Friends, teachers and the principal watched as the students were taken away to the Immigration Holding Area. Not only were these children traumatized but so were all the other children who attend the school. This does not only apply to the Lizano-Sossa Family but all the families being deported from Canada, all the children being pulled out while they are in school all the families who now live in fear. If immigration enforcement agents are allowed to go into schools and make these community spaces unsafe - then no child will be able to pursue education in Canada without fear of detention and deportation. Granting citizenship to a privileged few is very wrong. What ever happened to the

It seems that the 'net' is catching those who least deserve to be held responsible for the troubles. This family from Costa Rica, the Lizano-Sossas are the kind of Canadians who have already, and will continue to do so, contributed to Canada, including one small Canadian-born child. The eldest two children do so well at school, and they have shown the maturity and presence under difficult circumstances that few others of us would have. Are they to be made to pay as well We are a compassionate nation, and we need these people here to help to build this country, rather than to take from it. It is Canada Day.

Wladyslaw Orkan
Wladyslaw Orkan (or rather Franciszek Smaciarz or Smreczynski, as this was his real name), was born in 1875 into a peasant family in Poreba Wielka near Limanowa. Novelist, playwright, poet and journalist, Władysław Orkan would go on to display, in all his works, a great love and affection for this area, this land in which he grew up --the Gorce Mountains. Indeed, the strong regional ties he felt were a major inspiration.
He owed his education to his mother's commitment and sacrifice. Katarzyna Smreczynska sent him to St. Jacek's High School in Kraków and worked very hard to pay for her son's education. In an autobiographical note he once wrote "...for all I have, I am foremost indebted to my mother, whom I consider a genius. I am only her prolongation, but 'less so.'"
While still at school, he edited a school paper in which he presented his early poems -- all written in rebellious tones. This rebellion, he said, was against the wealthy of the world, and to manifest his distaste for such, he would wear worn out boots and shabby clothing. He also found himself an original pseudonym, 'Orkan,' meaning 'wind of destructive force'. He signed his poems with this name, partly out of this rebelliousness, and partly because during the Austrian occupation in southern Poland, students were forbidden to publish. Most of his time Orkan devoted to literature and theatre, neglecting his school duties, and as a result he never received his diploma, finishing school only with a notebook full of ideas and notes and a determination to devote his life to literature.
He came back to his home village where he spent his time running his farm and composing, though never severing ties with the artistic milieu in Kraków. In 1985, thanks to his innovative works and a friendship with Kazimierz Przerwa Tetmajer and Ignacy Maciejewski (two other significant Polish poet-writers) Orkan started cooperating with the Modernists working out of Kraków.
He spent the years 1899 - 1914 travelling to Italy, Switzerland and Germany, and during the first world war he was an officer in the 4th Regiment, Infantry Legion. He kept in touch with his legionnaire friends till the end of his life, despite his disappointment with the government which came to power in the year 1926.
From 1912, Orkan actively participated in the Zjazdy Podhalan (Assemblies of the Tatra Highlanders), where he often spoke on behalf of all highlanders. These assemblies eventually resulted in the founding of Zwiazek Podhalan (Tatra Highlanders' Union), and after the first war, Orkan became chairman of the Zwiazek Podhalan.
Due to his personal ideology, he became engaged in the peasants' movement in Galicia (of which most of southern Poland was then a part), even though his main concern was to spread the notion of regionalism by popularising and developing a national style in art, following the ideas and concepts of Stanisław Witkiewicz.
His literary oeuvre is strongly connected with rural life and mountain landscapes, and is mostly written in dialect. Orkan's main poetic work comprises four volumes: Nad grobem Matki (1896, a cyclical poem, By My Mother's Grave), Z tej smutnej ziemi (1903, Out of This Sad Land ), Z martwej roztoki (1912, From the Dead Stream), and Piesni czasu (1915, The Song of Time). His greatest dramas are Skapany swiat (1897-8, Fallen World) and Franek Rakoczy (1908).
Orkan's greatest talent is evident in his prose: numerous short stories, studies, vignettes and novels about peasant life. Despite his theory on the objectivity of the narrator, he never manages himself to show a wholly detached outlook. His most important works are short novels presenting his rural life and ideas of reform: Nowele (1898 Short Stories), and Nad urwiskiem (1900 By the Precipice ), and novels: Komornicy (1900 Bailiff), and W roztokach (1903 In Waterways). He wrote in many other literary genres such as traditional short stories, tales told in the oral tradition, genre scenes, allegorical sketches and reportage. Listy ze wsi (1925, 1927 Letters from the Countryside) are considered as his greatest achievement, and can be seen as a unique recapitulation of his life.
Wladyslaw Orkan died in Krakow in 1930, with many of his writing projects unfinished. However, after his death, he seems to be still present in the highlanders' life, something clearly seen in the number of monuments, schools and institutions, and streets bearing his name. There is a museum in Rabka with a number of his paintings, and a tourist reserve in the Gorce Mountains. In addition, his home has been transformed into a museum. All of these honour and commemorate his contribution to the culture and prestige of the Podhale region.

The Water
Pure & Totally FRESH.
The water that we serve together with wine determines how we have the possibiity to process and experience different tastes. For example, normal tap water, which often has a taste of earth, clay and chalk, makes your wine acidic and harsh.
The FRESH unit produces and purifies the water directly on-site. The water circulates through a cooler, is carbonated according to desire, and is then drawn into a beautiful, specially designed glass bottle at a temperature of approximately 5 degrees celsius. In just a few seconds you get natural or carbonated drinking water of the highest quality, with all the necessary salts and minerals preserved, but free from added chemicals or flavours.
Acidic and harsh, or a good wine?
It depends on the water.
