The Devil In The DSP
Digital signal processing (DSP) devices impact system design, installation, and operation in a variety of ways, and it's time to fight the demons that followed them into pro AV.
On the other end of the spectrum are the matrix and tab interfaces that require multiple screens that aren't simultaneously viewable to understand how the system is configured. While these devices may be just as capable as those based on the block diagram approach, they're more difficult to learn and document offline. With the block diagram approach, at least there's a chance that someone who isn't trained in the particular DSP software can figure out what the system is doing or could do.
Demons, design, and documentationBut the demon is here to stay, at least for now. Deferred design and deficient documentation are its primary manifestations. The first issue is purely a design phase problem, although the impact appears mostly during installation. The second concept affects design and installation, including people on both sides of AV contracts — AV providers and system owners. And these are just part of the overall impact of digital AV signals, DSP, and data networking on pro AV in recent years. So what are the solutions?
To address deferred design, designers need to understand that system design encompasses the whole system. Virtual devices inside a DSP box need to be designed just as much as the hardware boxes outside it. The simple solution? Develop a complete system design — both inside and outside DSP devices — during the design phase. But it isn't necessarily that simple. We have three options, each with its own issues in today's industry: 1) Create the DSP design in the preferred (or sole source) DSP software for a given device; 2) Draw an analog block diagram representing the signal flow inside the DSP box; or 3) Provide a detailed functional description of what the insides of the DSP box should do. In any case, it's important to address virtual devices during the design phase, rather than at system checkout.
When the project is finished, we need documents — electronic or paper — that provide a technical view of the DSP part of the system that allows for navigation, troubleshooting, and understanding of the installed system — at least as easily as the analog as-builts do. And I don't think I'm just being an old fogey here. I've tried to troubleshoot and operate systems that include very challenging DSP user interfaces. Sure, with sufficient training and experience on the particular DSP device, I can design, navigate, and set up a system offline. But even with experience and training, most DSP devices aren't conducive to complex event planning that may require system reconfiguration or real-time event troubleshooting and system adjustments.
Maybe it's a pipedream, but what if DSP devices — regardless of their built-in user interface —included an option to output documentation in a common, perhaps graphical, format? Maybe it could be a representation of the "analog equivalent." Maybe it would even allow programming to be translated from one manufacturer's device to another. That would be a start. This kind of documentation would be invaluable in navigating and troubleshooting a complex system, especially during an event when time is short and pressure is high. Screen shots and text file output don't do the trick. Manufacturers: Are you listening?
Ultimately we have to learn to live with and embrace digital technology in all of its forms and its impact on pro AV design and installation. I'm sure it will mean that we have to learn and adapt. But we need to keep good design and integration in mind during the transition, and fight off the demons that are giving us the devil.

We will be leaving tommorrow for 2 week stay at Islamar villas and diving with Dive Paradise. All of this along with a car rental was booked through you guys. Not only did you have a professional attitude through all the e-mails in booking the original dates but at the last minute I extended my stay. You and your staff were especially kind through all of this. You got the car extended and went way out of your way to make sure everything was taken care of, not to mention letting me borrow your personal roller bag to go to the market. You extended everything with ease and you are a great asset to Cozumel and Mexico. This will be my 12 th trip and I will never work with anyone else from now on. Thank you Sherri. Jack

Home Routers w/ Decent QoS Performance?
QoS to where? (52 comments)
Are you trying to control QoS between two endpoints over the public Internet? If so, tagging the voice traffic leaving your router isn't going to do much good since once you hit the rest of the Internet the other routers on the trip to your destination will immediately disregard any QoS settings that your router has set. Otherwise we'd have boneheads sitting at home configuring their routers to send all their gaming or P2P download traffic with voice level priority. You currently can't control QoS over the public Internet.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Dlamini, Thokozani H URN etd-04052011-113618 Document Title The banking sectorĺs response to environmental sustainability Degree MBA Department Gordon Institute of Business Science Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mr D Gibson Supervisor Keywords
- governance
- sustainability
- environment

Date 2011-04-20 Availability unrestricted Abstract The major theme of this research has been to understand the South African banking sectorĺs response to environmental sustainability. The research was both qualitative and quantitative in nature.
To elicit understanding of these responses, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with representatives from seven South African banks. The research interviews revolved around four core themes; the environmental drivers, environmental strategy implementation, the corresponding practices undertaken and their frame of reference according to the sustainable value framework, together with the relevant benefits and costs realised.
The key research findings of the study include: all of the banks have either formalised or are in the process of formalizing a response to the pursuit of environmental sustainability; the banks either have or are in the process of developing a sustainability strategy; the growing environmental concerns and credit risks are currently the primary drivers of pursuing environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the practices adopted by the banks to pursue environmental sustainability were currently internally focused with priority for operational quick wins addressing risk and cost reduction.
Based on the research findings, recommendations have been made to further enhance the pursuit of environmental sustainability. These include: integration of environmental sustainability factors in performance reporting for all business units; integration of environmental sustainability criteria in all business case assessments.

Canada GDP growth
Canada's GDP grew 2.5 per cent in 2007 and edged up 0.4 per cent in 2008. Although the IMF in July 2009 predicted the 2009 GDP will contract 2.3 per cent, this is still the best performance of any G8 nation. It forecassts 1.6 per cent growth in 2010, double that of the US and better than any other G8 country except Japan. Note: Japan is expected to grow 1.7 per cent - but that is after a calamitous minus 6.0 per cent growth figre in 2009. Canada can therefore be considered to be the healthiest advanced economy in the world
Canada trade
Export figures have been rising for more than 5 years now. In 2008, total Canadian exports were estimated to be around $440 billion, a rise of about 8.76 percent over previous year export figure. US continues to be a dominant export partner for Canada accounting for more than 80 percent of its exports, although China is growing in importance. This figure is likely to drop in 2009, but only modestly. Total industrial output has dropped less than 10 per cent in the last 15 months, and is likely to start rising again before the end of 2009.
Why are Canadian exports doing much better than those of Japan, Germany and the like? It is because raw materials form the majority of its exports. Petroleum-based products, aluminium, lumber, finishing materials, sugar, precious metals and oil drilling equipment are all fairing better in the recession and will recover quicker. Although the automative industry is important, it is not dominant, and should continue to do well as it has a lower cost-base than the US automotive industry. Japan's exports are dominated by cars, hi-tech and 'white box' manufacturing, whereas Germany is dependent on cars and quality engineering - all categories that have been severely impacted.
Like exports, Canada import figures have also been registering growth for several years now. In 2008, total Canadian imports were estimated to be more than $390 billion, an improvement of more than 11.66 percent from previous year figure.
Canada economic analysis: Strengths and weaknesses
Canada's services sector is an economic strength of this nation, accounting for about two-thirds of its gross domestic product. Continued demand for raw materials and expected commodity price increases will support export-orientated industries.

Dec 31st 2008 1:55PM I use this build for raiding, and with it, the problem of the annoying "Need more energy" to deliver all my attacks succesfully doesnt exist. I actually dont lack of energy for example, in the bosses fights that you knw, they take long, im always in the top dps cus i dont run out of energy or simple im always can do the attack that i want in time because i hav the energy required. Anyways im not the type of guy that knw how to explain the things well, but try it and let me knw waht u think, examine it, maybe ur abilities dont do a lot of damage cus ur putting ur talents having in mind u want more energy for ur rogue, but its a good build cus u can keep a lot of abilities instead of others builds that requiered u to wait until u hav enough energy to deliver ur mains attacks. Dunno just try it :P
Here is: http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?rogue=02520520520050102231005012003053211053001020000000000000000000000000000000000000000&glyph=012004060204

Do you care about PvP anymore? {WoW}
Dec 16th 2008 2:27PM Hy im a hardcore PVP player, and since i heard bout this new mixed crap bout arenas and bgs, i just got uninterested, WHY? cus arenas sucks, you depends on other ppls that u dont even knw em, and if u made a stupid mistake they spam u to the death. Bgs ar funnnier, im going to play all bgs at Wotlk, but arenas... i dont care a crap bout it, i think that now that im uninterested in arena pvp im going to be a active pve raiding player, to play all that instances that i missed in the past and all the new ones. So what bout this, ah blizz? ur hardcore pvp players refusing to play pvp? that hurts. seriously.

My blue girl does the same thing. Then they open to these huge blue purple flowers with an amazing fragrance. |
What a beautiful rose! I am drooling about the fragrance! |
Lavender color is always unusual. This is a rose is not ordinary, is it natural???? Very beautiful indeed! |

Lemon cold cream fragrance; very rich, very strong, but not sickly-sweet. The blooms on mine are a rick silvery lavender most of the season. They get a bit blanched out in the heat, and they do turn brown quickly when sunlight follows a rain shower, but I love this rose nonetheless. It was the first one I ever bought. It photographs spectacularly, as well. |
Both are lovely roses and pictures! |
I might have to get more :) |
The raindrops look like pearls on the petals of the rose. The pictures are very beautiful. Dew or rain enhance the color and the beauty of the roses. |

Mine is very, very fragrant. It's in the bed at the front of the house, in front of the lower level windows. After Madame Hardy & her 300 blooms are done for the year, all we can smell indoors is Blue Girl. She has a distinct aroma that's quite different from our other roses; less rosy, more like a sugary-lemony confection or aromatherapy product. I picture a light, fluffy, lemon dessert when I smell it. |

The first year I had my Blue Girl, the bloom edges turned brown and I thought this rose is not going to do well here in Oklahoma. She struggled along. By mid-summer a vole chewed off her roots...completely! Not one to give up...I stuck the rose bush top in a two-gallon container of soil and set it in the filtered shade. Watered it and added compost once in awhile, but left it alone otherwise. Three years later, I have a robust, healthy rose bush that grew all new roots. Last summer she bloomed in the container. This time, however, her blooms were not burnt looking and the fragrance was yummy. This spring I planted her out into the garden in a new location. She is putting on a lot of new growth and looking very happy and healthy. I don't know if this is an indication of what a tough and vigorous little rose she is, but I'm very happy with her. |

West Hollywood , CA - United States
About Original Abstract Art Paintings
Emma was noted for her creative flouting of the conventional rules of abstract oil paintings and art deco perspective, as well as her fluid and innovative concept of modern art. Emma rely on color to communicate her joyful vision of bold pattern stripes, visionary shapes and striking textured ornament fine art.
Striking colors play a central role throughout her art painting career. She started painting in her early age and In her early works, she explored both Contemporary Art and Abstract art and (to master both composition and color) she created variations on the works of the her modern oil paintings, a practice she maintained for many years. In her colors and technique, Emma early work was influenced by famous painter artists, Monet, Cezanne and Picasso.
Travelling often with her art between her studios in West Hollywood and Montreal, Emma discovered the bright light of southern California and began using a much brighter palette. Also, she became familiar, through her flowers with a new series of original abstract paintings. As a result, Emma produced a great number or art paintings and exhibited in worldwide art
galleries to great acclaim.
Art lovers customers and critics admired her art style. After viewing Emma vividly colored paintings, they described her oil paintings as being the work of an original art concept and perfectly illustrates the Matisse famous comment: 'Seek the strongest color effect possible.. the content is of no importance.'

Monday-Thursday 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m.; Friday, 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m., Saturday 5-10 p.m.; Sunday 4-9 p.m.
Appetizers $6-$12; Salads $6-$13; Pasta $10-$24; Entrees $15-$26
Handicapped access: Ramp to front door
Restaurant Location:
Located in the front corner of a renovated mill a block away from Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, Red Sauce Ristorante is a bright, airy space painted in muted shades of yellow and orange. A smiling sculpted pig perched atop a wine barrel greets patrons as they make their way past the hostess station and the bar. Seating is ample, with booths and tables lining the walls and more tables on the floor in front of the kitchen at one end of the room. Tall windows (thankfully reglazed and not as drafty as they must have been in the mill era) line the two exterior walls.
The menu is not extensive, confined to one page, but most of the Italian standards are included, divided between pasta-based dishes and pasta-on-the-side entrees.
Appetizer: 25/30
Our Gourmet: I wanted to start light, so from the weekly specials board I chose Tomato Basil Bisque ($4.95). I got a crock - bigger than a cup, perhaps not quite a bowl - of rich, steaming hot soup. The flavors of basil and garlic were present, but the most notable attribute of this soup was its texture: It felt like a suspension of ground tomatoes on the tongue, smoothed out (as was the pungency of the ingredients) with a touch of cream. It was very good. 8/10
Our Teenage Bottomless Pit recently celebrated a birthday, and he marked the occasion by broadening his appetizer horizons with Arancini ($7.95), a plate of bite-size balls of creamy, lightly herbed risotto, breaded, fried and served with a bowl of marinara sauce. Deep-fried deliciousness, pure and simple. Thankfully, there were five on his plate, so he felt comfortable sharing what we all agreed was the best of the three appetizers. 10/10
The Dining Companion: Driven as I am to judge this dish wherever it's served, I opted for Sicilian Calamari ($11.95), lightly fried and tossed with vinegar peppers and served with marinara sauce. (It's also available without the peppers for $10.95.) The calamari is coated with a polenta crust which, although quite tasty, is more textural and crunchier than other coatings, making it a heartier version. I prefer a lighter coating and would have liked the option of an aioli dipping sauce, but it was cooked perfectly nonetheless. 7/10
Entrees 24/30
OG: Served in a crock, my Eggplant Parmesan ($14.95) featured three round slices of eggplant, breaded and fried, then layered in the crock with red sauce and topped with mozzarella. Depending on who's cooking it, the eggplant in eggplant parm can range from crunchy to unrecognizably mushy. This version was al dente - quarter-inch slices soft enough to cut with a fork, but firm enough to maintain their shape and veggie identity. Nice acidity from the red sauce, and a fresh flavor from the eggplant itself. All entrees are served with a side of pasta with the house red sauce. 7/10
TBP: The boy opted for a favorite, Chicken Parmesan ($16.95). It came in a shallow oval dish and was constructed in much the same way as the eggplant parm- breaded, fried, sauced and cheesed. He pronounced the chicken moist and the red sauce the best part, both on the chicken parm and his side of penne. 9/10
TDC: I chose the Chicken Marsala ($17.95) - three perfectly cooked medallions of chicken with mushrooms, shallots, garlic and marsala wine sauce. I don't think I could have chosen better. The tender chicken was the star of the meal and the wine in the sauce was more of a mellow aftertaste than the overpowering ingredient that I've experienced elsewhere. Between the appetizers and the chicken, my pasta (I chose linguine) had to come home for the next day - but the two bites I tried told me I'd have a great lunch! 8/10
Desserts: 27/30
OG: For my parting treat, I went back to the specials board for a slice of Chocloate Ricotta Tart ($6.75), a delicious, semi-sweet filling in what seemed like a shortbread crumb shell that had just a touch of saltiness. Overall it was a terrific dessert; just right in terms of sweetness, size and density. 9/10
TBP: Cheesecake can sometimes be a gut bomb after a big meal, but the boy's Ricotta Cheesecake ($5.95) was anything but. Just sweet enough, with a fluffy consistency that made it a good choice. 9/10
TDC: What to order when you can't finish dinner? A dessert you can't finish, of course. As soon as I saw "...Chocloate Decadence" ($5.95) on the menu, I stopped looking. In retrospect, I wished I had gone with the tiramisu, but ONLY because this two-layer flourless chocolate cake was so rich that I had to bring half of it home. 9/10
Final thoughts: 9/10
We got very friendly and attentive service from our server, Beth, and the owner stopped by the table to say hello as we finished our entrees.
The food was freshly prepared - in fact, there was a short delay in our desserts while the kitchen made up a fresh batch of whipped cream.
Serving sizes are ample, but not excessive. In fact, when TBP finished, he announced that he felt satisfied, but not stuffed - and uncharacteristically, he thought that was a good thing. He must be growing up.
Red Sauce Ristorante has only been open for about five weeks, but its location, menu and the quality of our dining experience all seem to indicate a bright future.

I use a LOT of buttermilk and this fits the bill ! I use buttermilk in pancakes, waffles, biscuits.. in my home made dressings as well. The tang is perfect, the shelf life is wonderful and, I don't have to pay $$$ for fresh buttermilk when I only need a small amount.

You probably wouldn't guess it based on diminished snowfall counts across the state, but for the second straight year, drought conditions aren't likely to dampen the spirits of Nebraska farmers as they look ahead to this year's early growing season.
Thanks largely to a pair of fall rainstorms in October and November 2013, Nebraska's soil recharge shows a healthy surplus of moisture in dryland regions east of York, the Panhandle and north central Nebraska, said Al Dutcher, state climatologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
What's more: The abundant snowpack in the Central Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado and south central Wyoming — feeder sources for the South and North Platte rivers — are 135 and 120 percent above normal, respectively.
Locally, temperatures have been running below normal since October 2013, said Mike Reed, hydrometeorological technician at the National Weather Service north of Hastings. Through mid-February, moisture was down on the year, though only slightly: .66 of an inch compared to a .90 average.
Even so, Dutcher believes the statewide numbers point to another bounce-back year in Nebraska from the challenging drought conditions that dried up crops in 2012. And while such unpredictable factors as El Niño storm systems still could figure into the growing equation later in the season, Dutcher believes moisture conditions should be favorable in the early months of the 2014 growing season.
"The two biggest snow months of the year on average — March and April — are still coming," Dutcher said.

Darn Ghost Hunters. The ongoing and stunning success of that series and its spinoffs continues to inspire networks to order more and more supernatural investigative reality shows. Now Syfy has just announced three new ghost shows.
First is Ghost Mine (Jan. 16): Yup, ghosts in a mine. An abandoned Oregon gold mine, to be exact. This combines Ghost Hunters with Discovery's Gold Rush Alaska, assembling a "colorful team of miners to battle the elements in hopes of finding their fortune and teaming them with a pair of experienced paranormal investigators." In each episode, "miners will face the day-to-day challenges of mining, aided by the paranormal investigators who unravel the mysteries surrounding the mine." Let's call the show Ghost Hole instead.

I like backsplash itself, although it is a bit busier/greyer than I expected. My hubby said it draws attention away from his favourite countertop. I am debating whether we should change it. Free feel to let me know your opinion. Thanks. |

I am new and I'm sure a lot of you are going to tell me not to get one, but I need to find out where I can get the plastic (or metal) ring that attaches to the front sprocket so pants don't get stuck or tatooed by the chain. I've been searching the net and most of what I have found is not the right thing. A lot of them are something that replaces one of the sprockets. I just want a bolt on ring for the 5 hole pattern sprockets. I have arthritis in my hands and, to be honest, I don't like dealing with the straps that you put on your leg to keep the clothes out. This also doesn't keep the grease off the pants.
Like I said, I've looked online and couldn't find what I am looking for. I also tried my local shop with no luck. Please, if anyone knows where I can find a couple of these rings (one for my wife too), please let me know!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

multi-booting from external HD
What I want to do:
I just bought a new 500GB EXTERNAL Hard Drive, of which, I want to put 2 different copies of Linux in it as well as Windows XP (Windows XP is uninstalled).
I know for a fact I want to install Ubuntu and I'll know shortly which other copy I'll want to install.
I was just wondering if you guys would provide me with some steps to installing these copies of Linux and partitioning my hard drive.
If this is unclear in anyway, leave a message and I'll try to make it most clear.
Thanks a lot.
- 08-19-2007 #2
Mr. Double-Helix first install Windows XP that you have in the first Partition. Then while you are installing Linux(any flavour) Just create a 200MB boot Partition of ext2 FileSystem(Primary Partition). And then Specify your Root Partition's size and install the linux as your Distribution guides you.
NOTE: You can install Linux in a logical drive!!!!!!!!!

I actually planned on installing Linux first, which a friend told me would be a bit harder to do (I don't know if that's true or not).
what would the 200MB partition of ext2 FileSystem do?
and I have no idea what a logical drive is.
- 09-10-2007 #4
No if u want Windows to work properly you have to install it before u proceed with linux. Then choose your flavour I trust Ubuntu is best for the amateurs It ll Take care about everything.

Testimonials READ What Our Clients Are Saying! "Relieved to finally find
a masseur who could unlock those stiff and painful stress points and allow
relaxation to flood my body, my racing mind quieted. Heading home, my face
had softened and I walked straighter and more easily." "That was the most amazing massage I've
ever had! I had tears running down my face! What a great release
of so much pent-up emotion." "I have had the
pleasure of working with Frank Corcoran both professionally and personally.
He has helped countless numbers of people, including myself, experience
more out of life with his talented, intuitive, and gentle system
of bodywork. I highly recommend Frank for anyone with health concerns
or just concerned about optimal health." "Frank Corcoran
of LivingWell has helped me overcome
injuries on many occasions over the past 10 years. He is the most
insightful and effective muscular therapist that I have ever worked
with. As a nationally ranked competitive swimmer I have incurred
a variety of stresses and injuries to my body. Frank always has the
answers to my problems. I especially appreciate that his combination
of movement and muscular therapy offers me useful information to
better approach my training when working to speed the healing process." "It is with great
pleasure that I recommend Frank Corcoran of LivingWell. I
have been a client of Frank's for about
four years and Frank has been able to help me get through a very
tough time when I had severe back pain and nothing else helped. He
has always shown great care for his clients and a great love for
his business. Frank is an amazing healer and he has helped me and
many others that I know." "Over the past 13 years I've tried many different treatments,
approaches, and therapists to deal with, originally, a bulging disc
and then with fibromyalgia (a muscle syndrome) that went undiagnosed
for four years. Several friends encouraged me to see Frank Corcoran.
I've now been seeing Frank for several years and the strides
I have made have been tremendous. Frank has an innate sense of where
the root of a problem is, not just the superficial manifestation,
of how to treat it, and which approach to treatment is the best for
a particular person. I think the best way to describe Frank is simply
to say that he is truly gifted." "I have always
valued my mobility and energy. As I move through my sixties my movements
are not as natural and easy as they had been. For over a year I have
been enjoying semi-private weekly Pilates classes. Aside from greater
mobility and confidence, I have a new body awareness. When I walk
and have discomfort in my knee, I shift my energy to my stomach muscles
and the knee moves pain free. Did I mention that my clothes fit better?" "Thank you for
taking such care in your work with me yesterday. Your knowledge and
thoroughness are greatly appreciated. You are a gifted bodyworker
and I look forward to working with you." "I have been a
client of Frank Corcoran for over a decade and have nothing but the
highest regard for his business and its practices. I have witnessed
his business grow in many directions over the years. His services
have always maintained the highest standards of professionalism.
As a business owner myself, I have great respect for his deep sense
of responsibility to both his clients and neighboring businesses.
As a client, I often recommend his office to many of my own friends
and family members for the excellent care that he provides." |

WEST ELM, the home furnishings store, is reopening in Marin in style.
To celebrate its grand opening at Strawberry Village in Mill Valley, the company will throw a free catered preview party with a live disc jockey, photo booth and open bar from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 6.
All items in the store will be 10 percent off, with a portion of the proceeds benefit Marin's Bridge the Gap, an afterschool learning program. Reservations are required and can be made through westelmmillvalley.eventbrite.com.
The store officially opens at 10 a.m. Nov. 7, and the first 300 shoppers who spend at least $50 will take home a custom tote bag designed by Mill Valley artist Jessica Taich.
Table- and glassware will be 20 percent off and rugs will be 30 percent off.
And hurry — Nov. 3 is the last day to enter West Elm's grand opening sweepstakes with prizes of two $1,000 shopping sprees and admission to the preview party. Here's the link: www.westelm.com/contest/mill-valley-sweeps/.
"The first thing we'll do is bring the sweepstakes winners to the (on-site) design lab to meet our talented home-stylist team," says spokeswoman Kendall Coleman. "Our stylists will go to your home, measure, plan and help you choose pieces that will work in your home and can work with what you already have for free. They'll even recommend our favorite contractors, painters and florists."
The concept behind the complimentary in-home styling is to make home decorating less intimidating and to make West Elm a go-to resource, she explains.
This newest West Elm makes 56 stores for the New York-based retailer that opened in 2002 and replaces the Corte Madera store that closed in 2011. It's taken over the 10,000-square foot space, which formerly housed Strawberry Joe's, Smith & Hawken and, most recently, Bliss Home.
"The Mill Valley location has more square footage and is a better floor plan for us," Coleman says. "And it allows us to accomplish more things."
Like having a juice bar, which will offer Mill Valley-based Urban Remedy juices, and a living wall planted with understory plants native to Marin's redwood forests.

Delegation from KPI visits National Council of Bhutan
August 08, 2012
On the invitation of His Excellency Lyonpo Namgye Penjore, Chairperson of the National Council of Bhutan, a 28 member delegation from the King Prajadhipok's Institute (KPI), Thailand, led by Professor (Dr) Borwornsak Uwanno, Secretary General of KPI, is in Bhutan on a five day study program. The delegation has professionals from various sectors including youth community leaders, local and national politicians, government and state enterprise officials, academic professors/lecturers and managerial-level officials from private companies.
The Dy. Chairperson of the National Council, on behalf of the National Council, extended a warm welcome to the delegation. Giving a brief history of the democratic system of Bhutan, he said that democracy was a gift from the throne to the people of Bhutan. He said that the momentum towards democracy in Bhutan was ushered by the farsighted and able leadership of our Monarchs some fifty years ago. He also shared some of the challenges and constraints faced by the National Council while discharging its mandates and parliamentary functions.
After presenting a documentary film on the roles and responsibilities of the National Council of Bhutan, the briefing ended with a lively interactive session.
The Secretary General of the KPI expressed his profound gratitude to the National Council of Bhutan for cordially welcoming his team to Bhutan. He said that the two Kingdoms shared many things in common, some of the key features being that both countries are democratic constitutional monarchy, both countries have Buddhism as the state religion and, most importantly, having benevolent kings as heads of state. He said that Bhutan and Thailand have excellent relations and proposed having further exchange programs to deepen the existing bonds of friendship between the two countries.
The delegation will be leaving for Bangkok on 9 August, 2012.

Department of Public Utilities Approves Commonwealth's First Utility Company Smart Grid Program
Required by the Green Communities Act, NSTAR pilot will enable 2,800 customers in Newton, Hopkinton, and Jamaica Plain to monitor and reduce energy use and costs through smart grid technology
"By allowing consumers to manage their energy use, smart grid technologies allow consumers to save money while reducing the environmental impact of our energy system," DPU Chairman Paul Hibbard said. "I look forward to seeing the results of NSTAR's pilot project as it is rolled out in Newton, Hopkinton, and Jamaica Plain in the weeks ahead."
A smart grid electricity network uses two-way communications, in-home technologies, advanced sensors and other IT technologies to protect the environment by reducing energy use during peak hours - a time when the highest cost, and some of the most polluting, power plants fire up to meet demand - and by facilitating the connection of renewable power sources such as wind and solar to the electric grid.
The DPU also announced that it will form a collaborative team to examine the smart grid pilot projects of all four of the state's investor-owned utility companies and ensure that there is consistency across programs that will enable the DPU to evaluate approaches and standards on a statewide basis. The collaborative effort will include a broad range of stakeholders, including representatives of each investor-owned utility (NSTAR, National Grid, Western Massachusetts Electric Company, and Unitil), as well as other interested parties such as the Office of the Attorney General.
NSTAR's $16 million pilot project, which is expected to begin almost immediately and run through 2012, is funded half by ratepayer charges and half by federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grants from the US Department of Energy (DOE). The specific funding sources are DOE's Smart Grid Investment Grant Program and Smart Grid Demonstration Program Funding Opportunity.
Under the DPU-approved Dynamic Pricing project, NSTAR will provide residential customers in the three communities with programmable thermostats and smart grid in-home technologies that will enable customers to monitor energy consumption and costs, and reduce electric load during high-price peak power use periods. NSTAR will use web-based technology to send signals to customers in the pilot communities informing them of the underlying cost of electricity they are using, especially during high-cost peak periods.
In addition, the DPU's order authorizes NSTAR to install smart grid technologies in its underground distribution network in Boston's Back Bay to better understand the impact installation of renewable power would have on the company's power grid. This Urban Grid aspect of the project is also expected to begin shortly and finish by the end of 2012.
The DPU expects to act on smart grid proposals submitted by the other three investor-owned utilities in coming weeks.

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 Pugsley!
Facts about Pugsley
- Breed: Dachshund
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Pugsley's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
PLEASE NOTE: Any dog that is listed on this site is still available for adoption (so please no emails asking if the dachshund is still available). If you would like to see a full listing of the dogs that we have available for adoption and/or are interested in adopting, you can view them on our website and fill out an application (any dogs pending will be clearly marked on our site):
Pugsley is a cutie pie. He was dumped in a shelter a few weeks ago, with his mother Ginger. He is approximately 1 year old as of March 13, 2010 . We have updated pictures of him up above.
Pugsley is young enough, where he would do okay by himself, but since being in rescue and being born Pugsley has had other younger dogs to play with so he is extremely playful and social. Meaning, a playmate would be preferred for him.
This little guy would do well with children 8 years and up with dachshund experience.
Tax deductible adoption fees for Pugsley has not been set yet.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us. PLEASE NOTE: Any emails sent to us asking about availability or to adopt a dog without an application will not be returned.
If you are interested in adopting, please visit the following link to fill out an application:
Other Pets at Dachshund Haven of Garden Grove Rescue and Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pugsley, a Garden Grove Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Garden Grove, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Garden Grove.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Garden Grove 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 Garden Grove 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 Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Garden Grove paves the way for another one to be saved.

I have what may be a seep in my woods and a stream that has trickling meanders snaking through as well. One area is fairly open to the sky and has tussocky grass growing but is quite squelchy underfoot.
I've been thinking about populating it with some basket willows along the tree edge and seeing what kind of flowers will grow in this environment. It does get seasonal flooding from spring melt. Is it possible to direct sow seeds for flowering plants or do I need to stick to transplants? What would like this sort of environment, no question (zone 6 MidAtlantic). ALthough we are talking about bogs/swamps/wetlands--what can handle stream edges? I'd like to try growing primroses and am not sure where I can put them... |

Hi This is my frist year with lilum lily. I have yellow and also white with pink line inside very beautiful. I have heard that these flower can change colors how can i help them keep there color. I don't want them to change to orange. Is there something I can do and how long do they keep there color thank you Anna lisa |

Bonjour, Anna lisa. I only know of two ways that a lily can "change" colours. 1) Some lily colours (especially dark ones) gradually fade as the flowers get older. They open darker, but become lighter within a few days. Some of these lilies do not fade as much if they are planted in a little bit of shade. 2) A lily could be pollenated by a lily of a different colour and form a viable seed. If this seed falls from the plant and germinates, the flower might be a different colour from the mother plant. But, because the two plants are so close together, it could appear as though the mother is changing colour (especially if, for some unrelated reason, the mother plant dies). I have grown lilies for many years, and none of them have changed colour (except for reason #1). Enjoy your new plants. The pink and white one sounds especially lovely. Don't worry...it won't turn into any other colour. |
'Lilium' is the botanical name of all 'true' lilies. (Daylilies are NOT 'true' lilies.) Liliums don't change color---no need to worry. |

A man is facing charges for allegedly lying to police about his identity during a traffic stop in Beaufort County.
According to the Aurora Police Department, 28-year-old Johnny Lee Cunningham Jr. was a passenger in a vehicle that authorities pulled over on the night of March 21. The traffic stop happened on North 5th Street in Aurora.
The driver of that vehicle was cited for for driving while license revoked, fictitious registration plate, and transporting an open container of alcoholic beverage, police said.
Meanwhile, Cunningham, who gave a false name at the time, was also charged with transporting an open container.
But on March 31, deputies and police arrested Cunningham in Aurora. According to investigators, Aurora Police Chief Mike Harmon recalled that Cunningham gave a false name during the traffic stop on March 21.
As a result, Cunningham faces additional charges, including identity theft, resisting a public officer, and giving fictitious information to an officer, police said.
The suspect was served with the warrants while being held in the Bertie-
Martin Regional Jail on unrelated charges, said investigators. He was released after posting a $1,000 secured bond.

Iridium Flares
Iridium Flares is a multi-platform artistic project; the brainchild of Darren Woolridge. The musical arm of this ambitious project sees Woolridge combine squelchy melodies with scratchy beats to create a haunting sound ripe with crescendo. Woolridge utilises an innovative and imaginative array of instruments to create his ionized sound clash; pitting glockenspiel against dark digital beats, static siren feedback against ukulele and even including body percussion to add an earthier layer to this atmospheric endeavour.
The result; a dense sedimentary structure of independent strata, pressing against one another to support an unpredictable and dramatic soundscape.

UFO Over York?
Police are investigating after a member of the public reported a hole in the ground in York, which he believed was caused by debris falling from space. A North Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said the force was called just before 1am today by someone reporting the hole in Hazel Close, New Earswick, who though it was caused by space debris.
"An officer attended the scene and found a hole in a grass verge approximately 1ft deep," she said. "There was no debris inside the hole and we are not in a position to confirm how or when the hole was made. The City of York Council will be made aware of the hole."…

The Price of Free Agents Hasn't Really Increased
Today I was looking over the early free agent signings, trying to get an idea of how much free agents were getting paid per win this off-season. In the past, free agents usually received $4-5 M per win, with the $5 M total coming in recent years. The idea floating around is that free agent prices will be going up this off-season with the new National TV revenue kicking in. My theory before looking at the free agents who have signed...
Pirates Off-Season Preview: Burnett, First Base, and the Walker Problem
The Pittsburgh Pirates made the playoffs this year, and will largely be keeping the same team together next year. When you add in the continued improvements from young players, and the expected mid-season additions of prospects like Jameson Taillon and Gregory Polanco, then you've got a team that has the potential to be strong once again next year. Because of this, there aren't a lot of things the Pirates need to focus on...
Has Russell Martin been the Best Free Agent Signing?
You get the sense with this Pirates team that something is different. Sure, Pittsburgh has been rattling off wins at a near-record pace and appears poised to battle with St. Louis and Cincinnati all summer for positioning in the National League Central with the prospect of spot in the playoffs not seeming like a pipe dream. Those are all not the norm for the Pirates, but what has been the catalyst for the transformation from a good...

During the Russian space station ,program experiments were made studying the effects of recycled water on the cosmonauts. They found that this water was not adequately hydrating them. Further research showed that any type of filtration or purification of H20 was diminishing some quality related to it being properly absorbed by the cells. On the contrary, water taken directly from natural sources, i.e., a stream, spring or lake, hydrated the body effectively. They explored the difference. The scientists proceeded to identify that the quality that allowed cells to better absorb the water from natural sources was an energetic component; they termed it "hydro-plasma."
To solve this hydration problem, they assigned one of their top scientists, Professor Victor M. Inyushin, who developed a multi-stage restorative system. This system included the Bio-Plasma Generator and the Geometrical Crystal Field. The Bio-Plasma generator is a device that contains a living vegetable fiber grown and preserved in the vacuum state, which produces a mini-voltage output and creates an energy field that the re-cycled water passes through. The Geometrical Crystal Field creates a biologically compatible frequency that imprints information created by the geometrical figures in natural crystalline structures, such as those in water from natural sources.
Professor Inyushin has licensed a U.S. based company. Revitalized Technologies, Inc. who further developed this technology to concentrate the plasma and maximize the zeta potential, which multiplies the water's subtle frequencies, in an effort to make it affordable and effective. The company has a number of scientific verification methods for this proven technology, including changes in surface tension, boiling point, and nuclear magnetic resonance, which show smaller organized clusters known as structured water. Over the years, we, at Hippocrates Health Institute have been acutely interested in finding more effective methods of enhancing the hydration of the human cell. Adequate hydration significantly accomplishes a primary objective of creating greater electrical frequency among all tissues within the human body. By activating organ, neurological, and brain organ systems, one's immunity is heightened and balanced.
Approximately one year ago we began experimenting with the resulting water from this Russian technology. there are three clear advantages that we unveiled at Hippocrates when the water is consumed on a daily basis:
Each of these attributes is significant in and of themselves, yet in combination, they assist in everyone's healthcare from athletes to people suffering with chronic disease.
Currently, we offer Revitalized Water to add to all of your drinking and therapeutic water. At the time of this writing we are beginning to develop an enriched Revitalized H20, which will include amino acids and silica. This low cost, high-tech method of enhancing your body's frequency is one of the primary steps for ensuring a Vibrant rife. For more on Revitalized water Visit call the Hippocrates Store at 561.471.8876, ext. 124.

A Scottsdale police officer resigned and a lieutenant received a 5 percent pay cut after an investigation of misconduct involving several officers.
The investigation, which began in August, uncovered activities that ranged from officers not answering calls to having sex on duty.
Officer Glenn Jim, 41, a 14-year veteran, resigned Dec. 10. The only reason listed on the notice: "No longer wish to be employed by the city of Scottsdale." Jim used an "improper procedure" when he noted his on-duty activity under different call titles than what he was actually doing on a regular basis, according to an Internal Affairs summary.
Jim was cleared of two other accusations of failing to perform his duties and falsifying a department form that would indicate he was on fake calls or at bogus locations.
Investigators found that he had been accused of corresponding with a friend in Thailand on the Internet at the library. In another case, a suicidal man with a gun barricaded himself in an apartment that required SWAT team response.
Jim was at Scottsdale Fashion Square during the time and didn't respond.
However, Jim said he couldn't hear his radio and it's true that police radios don't function in several places at the mall, the summary said.
The findings show that Jim handled numerous radio calls a day, despite spending an "inordinate" amount of time patrolling the mall. He issued numerous parking citations at the mall, the summary said.
Jim was disciplined for an off-duty DUI on Aug. 29, 1993. His resignation was unrelated to the DUI, said Scottsdale Police Chief Alan Rodbell.
"I certainly wouldn't go back and dig that up," Rodbell said.
Jim attempted to run from a drunken driving scene, according to police records. He was westbound on Oak Street in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community when he failed to stop at Pima Road. He tested at 0.18 percent alcohol content and was later convicted of misdemeanor DUI.
Jim could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Lt. Stephen Yturralde, a 27-year veteran, had his pay reduced 5 percent starting Nov. 28 for six months. His pay is now $82,097. The salary range for lieutenants is $74,526 to $86,195. City officials would not release his age.
A call to Yturralde was not returned.
In October, Rodbell said he disciplined Yturralde for failing to supervise Sgt. Dan Dubois and others, but Rodbell has declined to provide details.
In a letter from Rodbell to Yturralde on Oct. 28, said, "This misconduct involved officers' falsifications of daily activity logs, neglect of and failure to perform duties by not breaking for calls for service and calls to back up fellow officers, and creating false calls for service to avoid taking pending calls for service."
Rodbell wrote that Yturralde's behavior was "unacceptable" as a role model for other members of the department. Not maintaining acceptable performance or continuing similar behavior will result in more severe discipline "up to and including dismissal."
Other officers involved in the misconduct investigation included:
• Officer David Kiss, who resigned in lieu of being fired for unprofessional conduct related to having sex in a police office, not performing duties and falsifying department forms.
• Officer Patricia McCormack, who resigned after she was found to have not performed duties and falsifying department forms.
• Dubois, who retired instead of taking a demotion for failing to supervise Kiss, McCormick and another officer, whose name was not disclosed at the time.

I have what I believe is a very unusual striped rose bush in my yard that was planted about 18 months ago. It was bought a discount house (Home Depot) but was apparently mislabeled, as the label said it was a cream colored rose with red edges on the petals. The bush is now 4 feet high and has six to ten blossoms or buds at any one time. The blossoms vary between 3 and 4 inches in diameter. The blossoms are quite complex, having over 100 petals and a medium aroma I have done an online search and not found pictures of any similar rose. The coloring pattern is darker, deeper red and whiter white than a Ferdinand Pichard and there are far more petals. It is also similar to a Scentimental but has far more petals and somewhat different and more compact shape. A picture of a blossom is attached. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've posted these questions on your other post in the gallery too. Alex, can you give us more pictures of the plant? Leaves, thorns and plant structure can be helpful in IDing what type of rose it is which then might lead to a name. Does it bloom once a season or all season long? Are the blooms single on a cane or in clusters? I know you got it at HD but was it in a plastic bag or a pot? What was the name on the label? Did it list a grower? The more info you can give us the more likely we can ID it. |
I went outside this afternoon and took more pictures of the striped rose. Which are attached. I measured the bush and it is almost exactly five feet high at present. It does have fairly prominent thorns and the blossoms are on individual stalks. So far it has bloomed year around. Our present temperature here in Mesa, Arizona is 75 degrees. I really have nothing more to add to the information as to what was on the original tag as it unfortunately got lost. |
I'm pretty sure we've correctly IDed this rose as Scentimental. |
There was one hybridized and grown by Weeks Roses called 'Candy Cane.' They might have the picture on their wwebsite. |

This product has been discontinued
More reviews by kathrynannferrel
Of all the mascaras I have tried (which I have tried A LOT), I always come back to Covergirl's Lash Perfection. It truly is the best mascara I've used, and what's even better, one of the least expensive!
I always get a little excited when it's time to do my lashes for my daily routine. (I find joy in the littlest of things). With this little number, all I need is 2-3 coats to beautifully lengthen and thicken my eye lashes. The good Lord didn't bless me with the greatest of lashes - they're rather short and look invisible without mascara. But you wouldn't know that with this product! Lash perfection gives me the lashes I have always dreamed of.
I like the packaging, but packaging never really affects my ratings (unless it's one of those unsightly Maybelline bottles! Yuck!). The silver design is simple yet chic, and the brush is pretty basic but easy-to-use.
As long as Covergirl keeps making this mascara, I will keep buying!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For a general mascara, this is not bad. The brush is nice and the mascara goes on well and dries neatly with minimal clumping. However, it irritates my sensitive eyes and I don't think this formula is particularly volumizing. There is no benefit to this mascara for me and I will not repurchase.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My search for a great mascara at a great price is over! WOW. Not sure about the negative reviews.... thinking maybe they got an old/expired/dried out one because this is the best mascara I ever used regardless of price.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm on my second tube of this at the moment, I love this mascara, it's the only one I use. I love this because it keeps my eyelashes from clumping AT ALL. It's buildable, so I can do a day look, or at more later. It looks good, it's not too black, but I'm blonde so I'm fine with that. Definitely be buying more of this, it's one of my favourite product.
I generally like Cover girl mascaras and this one is no exception. The rubber wand provides a very clean, natural looking eye lashes with added volume. Love this mascara, its also great for lower lashes as well,
One of the best mascaras I've ever tried for sure! It gives really nice natural looking volume. It's very Buildable, Gives decent length, Not a clumpy, flaky nightmare unlike some mascaras, & It's fairly easy to make it dramatic without looking to overdone. I love it.
Pretty good. Builds decent volume and doesn't smudge or flake. I have to say though - I like the Super Thick Lash better in terms of volumizing.

This is a good mascara, one of the best drugstore mascaras I've seen. It adds volume and length in a few coats and the wand makes it easy to avoid clumps. I gave it four lippies because the formula was a little on the dry side which is something I'm not fond of. Also, it didn't hold a curl and it seemed that the mascara had worn down a lot by mid-day. Although, I must say that for special occasions, It actually is possibleto give the "false lash effect" with additional layers. The biggest down side for me was that it didn't hold a curl. But for the price, I think it's a good thing to have in my makeup bag.

I've bought this twice thus far. I like it. I like to use it as my first "base" mascara and then use my 2nd mascara. My other favorite base mascara is the Maybelline full n' soft. This one is a bit less than $10. I think I got my first tube on sale because when i bought my second tube I was surprised at the price. Around $8 I think. I think it's a pretty good DS mascara and i'm not a big fan of CG products.
