New mosques are popping up across the United States.
Virginia Beach, Va., is now poised for its first mosque. A city planning commission has voted for the Crescent Community Center project to go forward in a rural part of the city.
In neighboring Maryland, the government of Turkey is building a $100 million mega mosque. The Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center will cover 15 acres in the town of Lanham.
Earlier this year, Turkey's Islamist prime minister attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the mosque.
Meanwhile, the Clarion Project reports that about 1,200 mosques are now operating in the U.S., and almost 80 percent of them were built within the last 12 years.
The majority of those mosques are led by Wahhabi clerics -- from the same branch of Islam that Osama bin Laden followed.

Nikki Reed Comes Out for Team Jacob
No need to wonder which side of the Team Edward-Team Jacob debate Nikki Reed sits on—she'll come right and tell you.
The Twilight actress, who plays Rosalie Hale in the somewhat popular vampire movie series, recently explained to Rolling Stone's Peter Travers why her loyalties belong to Taylor Lautner's Jacob Black character.
Says Nikki,
"When I was younger, Edward would have been super appealing. He's so sexy and mysterious, and he doesn't give you everything that you want. There's always something else. He's keeping you waiting."
Yes, plus, he's kind of girly, right, Nikki?
Reed continues,
"Jacob's just there. For some reason, young girls, they don't want the guy that's just there...I'm Team Jacob."
So Reed's into guys who are "just there," huh? Wonder how her current beau, Paris Latsis, feels about that.
Tell us in the comments section: Are you, like Nikki, Team Jacob, or are you more into that other guy?

Chongloy for mayor; LP Benguet holds jovial proclamation rally
The Liberal Party proclamation rally at the BSU gym last week was not only warm as it was well attended by all the LP municipal bets and the provincial candidates for congressman, governor, vice governor and board members of both political districts who took the time to mingle and exchange notes; it was cheerful courtesy of Atty. Jerome Wallace Selmo who gave a 30-minute dressing of the gubernatorial race. The proclamation rally was aired via dzWT/WR. In his speech, Selmo described himself as the candidate without the financial resources but was urged to run against incumbent Gov. Nestor Fongwan to provide a "choice" for the voters. "Masapol met a nga ada pagpilian ti botantes tapnu agpaysu nga ada ti demokrasya nga makunkuna dituy lugar tayo," Selmo said. In jokingly manner the slightly medium-built Selmo told the audience how it is a wonder that job applicants are more than a dozen but nobody wants to file their application for governor. Selmo served as Fongwan's legal officer when the latter was mayor of La Trinidad. He later resigned and one day found himself running for mayor against his former boss. Why? There must be a deep reason. I would want to find out from Selmo or Gov. Fongwan someday. Aside from Selmo, those proclaimed in the rally were Nelson Dangwa for vice governor; Amor Moresto, Fernando Aritao and Atty. Jerry Marave for board members of District 1; Jim Botiwey, Fernando "Pandong" Balaodan, Ric Angluben and Fausto Maliones for board members of District 2.
After the presentation of municipal bets and after all the endorsements and speeches, incumbent Congressman Ronald M. Cosalan took the stage and urged his party mates to campaign for a 12-0 slate in favor of Team PNoy's senatorial bets in their localities. Those proclaimed in the True, it is smoother for an administration to implement development programs if elected officials are aligned with the President. The same is true in the provinces, Cosalan explained. Indeed, history tells us that provincial leaders who were aligned with the administration always got what they sought for their constituents. In Benguet, transporting products has been a problem, however today; it is of record that major roads linking municipalities are presently being concreted to ease the burden of traders and farmers. In fact many roads were already concreted. This is confirmed by most mayors regardless of their political party affiliation. By the way, many residents of Tuba, Sablan, Trinidad and other towns know of a certain mayor who has intentionally closed his eyes to the development efforts that were brought to the barangays through the efforts of Cosalan. For reasons known only to this mayor, he has resorted to lying to his people that Cosalan never brought development to his town which is unbelievable, according to a participant in the proclamation rally. Those proclaimed
A day after Easter Sunday, squealing pigs sharply pierced the eardrums of Alapang residents, kicking off a series of political rallies by Liberal Party bets of La Trinidad as well as other political parties in provinces, cities and municipalities in the country. Earlier that day, Congressman Cosalan was warmly received as guest speaker by the residents who were celebrating their barangay fiesta. In the emcee's introduction at the start of the night rally, he said incumbent mayor Greg Tomilas Abalos Jr. and party decided to launch their campaigns in Alapang because the barangay is a "special place" for the team. In fact, Alapang is where the late old man of Mayor Abalos traces his roots. That really makes the barangay special to the LP La Trinidad team. Along with him were his team of councilor bets namely: Balili chairman Paul Alveras, former councilor and provincial board member William Esteban, former Betag chairman Pedro Golocan Jr., councilor Henry Kipas, Ambiong chairman Teddy Quintos, Dr. Horacio Ramos Jr., councilor Arthur Shontogan and Alno chairman Boyet Tereng. They were likewise endorsed by 12 of the 16 barangays of La Trinidad. In their campaign flyer, these simple words are written: "Let's continue to make a difference!"
Before Greg Abalos Jr. became mayor he already saw the need to "sow goodness" in La Trinidad in order that there is something to "reap." And so with the help of the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, he facilitated the construction of 17 two-classroom school buildings spread out in all the barangays. Now, who can beat that? Even while he was yet to be in public office, he already advanced his contribution to the youth of his town and the educational sector that comprises students, parents and teachers. His move was and is unprecedented, and that could be the reason why future Bokod mayor, none other than lawyer Robert "Osong" Basco who likened Abalos to a fruitful tree said, "bato-batoen da ni Mayor Abalos ta adu ti bagas na!" Now, isn't that how mayoralty candidates and other wanabes in any locality introduce themselves? Kaanakan, kabsat, ading ko agmula kayo pay a tapnu ada burasen yu! Voters can not solely depend on the shadow of an elder and name recall. There must be an indisputable reason in running for public office, especially for a mayoralty post.
Talking of mayoralty wanabes, the candidates for the top seat to Baguio City Hall have outlined their programs in a forum hosted by the DzWT/WR radio station last week. Those in attendance were incumbent mayor Mauricio Domogan, former city councilor Atty. Jose M. Molintas, private citizen newsman Peter Puzon and Engr. Guillermo Hernandez. For obvious reasons, my wanabemayor Roland "Chongloi" Wong of Luisa's Café was uninvited. Of course, on environment issues, the four bets were one in saying that such a contentious topic should be given attention, however they have respective ways in presenting their views. Puzon hinted that the weather climbed a few degrees hotter in the city because of the instapave asphalt on Session road and other streets, while Hernandez called for planting a tree in every residential house which is indeed a doable and easy solution to supporting the environment. For his part, Molintas said it is about time that the city imposes a moratorium on subdivision development as there is too much infrastructure going on at the expense of trees. For Domogan, he said he is for "green governance" whatever that is. I do not know if he was talking about green as the color of money or green as the color of the environment. What is clearer is that when trees inside a controversially owned land are to be sacrificed for the sake of development, and the head of a city says "I cannot do anything," then there is no green governance to speak of. I am sure Chongloi agrees to all of the above.
On the senatorial campaign, most of them are speaking in general rhetoric. They all talk about "bagong pag-asa, pagbabago, walang korapsyon, walang katiwalian." Whatever, I tried to get a sampling of the youth or the newly registered voters and most of them returned my question: "Uncle sino ngay talaga ti ibotos para senador?" I told them if you are not familiar with the names of the senatorial bets, go to the internet and consult. If you want my recommendation, I am endorsing to you the new candidates, especially the independent ones such as Edward Hagedorn, Eddie Villanueva, Teddy Casino, Greco Belgica and Ric Penson to name a few. If you are still not so sure, then turn to Team PNoy's bets. I am sure you will find candidates worth voting for such as Sonny Angara who was endorsed by Courier columnist Baboo Mondonedo in the LP Benguet proclamation rally, Ramon Magsaysay Jr., Risa Hontiveros, Koko Pimentel, Jamby Madrigal and Grace Poe. Except for Magsaysay, Angara, Pimentel and Madrigal who have clean records while in public office, people really wish to see new names in the senate. –email@example.com

That's my point exactly. They pretty much all start with only a few variations, and then by their own standards add what they want to make their "brand." Also, each one varies on particular applications. My bet is that the only major source variation is non-synthetic vs synthetic. I think only an extremely large companies can afford their own refineries. The rest purchase from them and produce their own formulas.

So, I'm doing an oil change on the recently rebuilt RS and referred back to this oil analysis as a guide for my oil selection options. This was a very informative effort, Kurt. I've referred to these results a couple of times when servicing my bikes over the past year. Speaking as a scientist, there's no substitute for quantitative data. Thank you for your effort and making this available to us!

Back in post #66:
I indicated I bought the book titled "Which Oil?" by Richard Michell. I finally got a chance to go through it. I found it interesting to understand oil development since the early beginnings of cars. He also used vehicles that he owns (old vehicles) to go through a process of determining which oil he would select in those vehicles, based upon recommendations in the owners manuals for those cars (for oil which doesn't exist today) and translate that to an oil that is on the shelf today. Pretty nerdy stuff.
But I read some interesting tidbits that led to "ah ha" moments for me, or provided a point of view that I hadn't considered. These were some of them:
- multi-viscosity oils increased in popularity as a result of the 1973 oil crisis...better oils meant better gas mileage
- lubrication is all about moving two surfaces relative to each other and having the oil keep them apart; this cannot be maintained at two spots during engine rotation, at the top and bottom of the stroke. For a relatively short period of time, there is no movement.
- engine components such tappets and cam followers really require an oil viscosity that is too high for the rest of the oiling system, so compromises have to be made
- these situations are what's called "imperfect lubrication" and this is what ZDDP does, to provide the necessary protection during these periods
- oils contain dispersants which keeps particles in suspension. They also keep soot during combustion from forming large particles, otherwise the particles will get too large and create havoc in the oiling system. Seeing oil turn black is the soot being dispersed.
- for this reason, he recommended that detergent/dispersant oils be used in engines without filter systems, such as the pre 1970 bikes. This way they don't create problems with the bearings by getting too large. The downside is that the particles are too small and won't settle to the bottom of the pan, leading to the need for slinger cleaning.
- use of "active" sulphur in gear oils should be limited when copper is involved in the drivetrain. "Active" means that it is soluble in the oil.
- synthetic oils can be produced all chemically or they can be blended with mineral oil. Chemical synthetics are very shear stable (ie, it retains its viscosity over time) because there are no added viscosity improvers...it comes naturally with the make up of the oil.
- in the 1960s and 1970s, oils had poor shear stability, starting out with good viscosity but it degraded over time. The polymer chains added as viscosity improvers either became aligned in one direction or they were cut into smaller chains from the engine components.
- the idea of using diesel oils in engines seems like a good idea because they contain a goodly amount of ZDDP. However, the formulation of that oil is for a working environment that is much hotter than a gas engine situation. Thus if a diesel oil is used, the effects of the ZDDP might not get released because the temperature is not right.

I tried several addresses. It only worked for larger towns and cities.

Hertz and Enterprise, two of the world's largest car rental companies, have tried to win the hearts of environmentalists by renting out electric vehicles.
Now both companies are going even greener by launching car-washing systems that use less water to keep rentals looking new.
Hertz has begun to use a biodegradable spray solution wiped off with microfiber towels at 220 locations across the country. Next year, Hertz hopes to expand the program to all 3,700 locations in the U.S. and Europe, saving more than 130 million gallons of water annually.
Not to be outdone, Enterprise is expanding to its rental outlets in Hawaii and California a non-toxic washing system that is now used only in certain New York and Boston locations.
The system uses a highly concentrated cleaning solution that also is sprayed on the cars, reducing its carbon footprint by 95%, according to the manufacturer.
Travel insurance value questioned
After a nasty storm ripped through the East Coast on the busiest travel day of the year, you might think that buying travel insurance for holiday travel would be a no-brainer.
Not so much. The 114-year-old National Consumers League concluded recently that travel insurance is usually a bad deal because most policies are riddled with exceptions that allow insurance companies to reject claims for payoffs.
Most insurance companies won't disclose their track record for paying out claims, making it nearly impossible to judge whether insurance is worth the money, the league points out.
"The unfortunate reality is that these protection policies bring in big bucks for the airlines each year but offer very little real value for customers," said Sally Greenberg, executive director of the National Consumers League.
The most common exceptions used by insurance companies to reject your payout are illnesses involving a pre-existing medical condition, pregnancy or childbirth, losing a job or having a business meeting canceled, the league says. Some policies won't pay out even if your trip is canceled because of terrorist attacks.
The U.S. Travel Insurance Association disagreed with the league's conclusion, saying policies that are rife with exceptions are usually less expensive than more comprehensive policies with fewer exceptions.

30 January 2012 – London, element14, the first collaborative global electronics community from Premier Farnell plc (LSE:pfl), has teamed up with Microchip and Matrix to introduce the new PIC18 Flowcode Developers Kit. This innovative development and demonstration kit is designed to offer a hands-on, easy approach to electronics design using Flowcode, one of the world's most advanced graphical programming languages for microcontrollers.
The development platform is based on a Microchip PIC18F26J50 low power, 8-bit PIC18F26J50 microcontroller, and is integrated with temperature sensor, capacitor touch sensor and potentiometer to help developers verify programs designed using Flowcode.
"The new PIC18 Flowcode Developers Kit is an innovative, fully featured yet low cost solution designed to help developers realize their designs in working hardware," says Mike Powell, Technology Development Manager, Premier Farnell. "Optimized for Flowcode development, the board has several expansion options, it can be used as a black box and is mounted with a PIC 18 device that is low power, but high performance.
The competitive advantage of Flowcode is that it allows those with little-to-no programming experience to create electronic systems in minutes. Flowcode supports code generation for the PIC® (PIC12, PIC16, and PIC18 series ), PIC24 and dsPIC® series of microcontrollers. The professional edition includes drivers for a range of sub-systems including LCDs, keypads, seven-segment displays, ADC and PWM, as well as communication protocols including I2C, SPI, RS-232RS-232, Zigbee and TCP/IP, among others.
Flowcode is compatible with Microchip's PICkit programmer as well as third party programmers. It is also compatible with the HI-TECH C compiler. A 'Lite' version of Flowcode 4 is included in the kit.

Chris The Carpenter has put together possibly the most complete robot module for the Propeller Platform. Called the 444AVXB, he writes… [via]
Let's start with the name, 444-AVXB stands for:
4 Amps (2 amps x 2 motors) via a L298 motor driver
4 ADC's (Analog inputs) via a MCP3204 chip
4 Servos with connections to power and with current-limiting resistors on the signal wires
Audio-out (non-amplified)
Video-out via a standard RCA jack
Connections for an X-bee
Connections for a BlueSmirf Bluetooth unithe 444-AVXB was designed with the robot hobbyist in mind. Connections are available for just about every "standard" thing you would find on a small to medium-sized robot. A hefty motor driver handles decent-sized motors with nice screw terminals for both power and motor connections. (4) 3-pin connections are provided for servos which can be powered by either external power or on-board power. An ADC chip allows for 4 analog inputs to be read, great for analog sensors, pots, LDR's etc.
Video-out takes advantage of the awesome video capability of the prop and can be connected to any TV with a "video-in" and/or many of the cheapie 7" LCD screens (found on Ebay). Audio is just that, audio out with the circuit being the same as can be found on many other propeller products. Pin 15 has been brought forward as well for a Ping))) sonar unit. Finally, there is room and connections for EITHER an X-bee or Bluetooth module. All unused pins are accessible via female headers.

This little board demonstrates the capabilities of the MMA2260 +/- 1.5g X-Axis Micromachined Accelerometer. As you tip it back and forth, LEDs light up to show the magnitude and direction of the G force.
The MMA2260 is the fat SOIC 16 in the upper left, isolated so it could be cut off of the board and used as a breakout, keeping only a pin header and the recommended decoupling and output RC filter.
The microcontroller is a PIC16F628, which is entirely unsuited to this application, having no ADC. I failed to notice that, being quick to note "AN0″ on PORTA and slow to note that it was for a comparator, not an ADC. However, there is a builtin programmable voltage reference which was sufficiently accurate for lighting up 8 LEDs. I'm trying to get away from PICs, as AVRs have spoiled me with their GCC support, many registers and sane memory organization. Even on this project, which is only about 30 lines of C, most of the work was fighting SDCC bugs (failure to banksel, in this case). I've discovered a perverse pleasure in soldering down ICs to counteract my packrat nature. It did force me to put an ICSP header on, however.

The PIC16F690 microcontroller is one of Microchip midrange 8-bit microcontroller that has a build in 10-bit resolution of Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral. The ADC is one of the important features that enable us to digitize our analog world. Usually we use the electronic sensor to convert the analog value to the voltage level value. Some of the basic sensor such as LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) is used for measuring the light intensity or NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) a special resistor for measuring the temperature.

Sometimes we need our microcontroller to interact with more human readable information. It will be better for us if we could make it display the words not just blinking the LED. Today most modern gadget such as mobile phone and PDA, use LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) for interacting with us. In this project we will learn how to use the 2×16 LCD for displaying the room's temperature.
Actually driving the LCD hardware directly is a complex task, but luckily we don't have to do that; in the market they have already put it together in one package the LCD display hardware and the microcontroller that control it, so our task will be easier now as we only talk to the build in microcontroller inside. The most famous on the market is the 2×16 LCD with LED backlight using Hitachi HD44780U or the equivalent microcontroller, this 80 pins microcontroller is a special dot matrix LCD driver controller with low power consumption and able to use 4-bit data or 8-bit data interface; my suggestion is to have this HD44780U datasheet near you as we walk through this project.

It's interesting to explore what we can do with this tiny 8 pins; 8-bit microcontroller. The ATtiny13 is the smallest and cheapest Atmel AVR 8-bit microcontroller families but yet, it's loaded with sophisticated peripherals such as two 8-bit PWM channels and 4 channels 10-bit ADC. Although the memory is quite small; 1 K flash, 64 SRAM and 64 EEPROM but this more the adequate for most PWM and ADC application, if you need more memory, bellow is the list of other Atmel AVR 8 pins microcontrollers which have compatible pins with ATtiny13 microcontroller.

If you're interested in how delta-sigma modulators and ADCs work, you should check out this excellent introduction by Uwe Beis: [via]
When looking for an introduction to delta sigma conversion I found that most explanations were from a very theoretical point of view. It took me a while to understand how Delta Sigma converters really work. So I decided to write this introduction for people who prefer circuit diagrams to reading abstract equations.
To understand what I'm talking about you should at least be familiar with:
– Standard analogue techniques (op-amps, comparators etc.)
– Standard digital techniques (latches, binary codes etc.)
– Standard ADCs and DACs (resolution, speed)
– What a low pass filter is (at least an analogue one)
– The sampling theorem (sample frequency > 2 x input bandwidth, alias effects)Delta sigma converters are different from other converters. Note that I do not make a difference between analogue-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analogue converters (DAC). Both are very similar and what is realized in one of them using analogue signal processing circuitry is implemented in the other one using digital signal processing and vice versa. I will explain the delta sigma technique with the analogue-to-analogue delta sigma converter as the first object.

Actinomycosis is a bacterial infection that results in collections of pus in the body. This condition can be treated, so contact your doctor if you think you may have actinomycosis.
Actinomycosis is most often caused by infection specific bacteria. This is normally present in the mouth and, sometimes, in the intestines. The jaw is most commonly involved, with lung and abdominal infections being less common. Very rarely, women may develop abscesses in the reproductive organs or bladder.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of actinomycosis include:
- Having a dental disease or recent dental surgery
- Liquids or solids that are sucked into lungs
- Having bowel surgery
- Swallowing fragments of chicken or other bones
- Having an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) in place for many years
- Diabetes
- Having a weakened immune system
- Malnutrition
- Tissue damage
- Chronic granulomatous disease or other disorder that affects the immune system (children)
Actinomycosis may cause:
- Hard swellings that are usually painless and located around the mouth, neck, or jaw
- Swellings that may produce pus containing tiny, yellowish particles
- Drainage of pus through the skin of the chest or abdomen
- Fever
- Weight loss
- Cough that produces sputum or blood
- Noticeable swelling or firm mass in the abdomen, especially the lower part
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
- Analyses of pus, sputum, or tissue
- X-ray
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
High doses of antibiotics are used to treat actinomycosis. The antibiotics will need to be taken for 6-12 months.
Drainage of Abscesses
Your doctor will drain pus-containing abscesses.
The best way to reduce your chances of developing actinomycosis is to prevent dental disease by practicing good dental hygiene and regularly visiting your dentist. You should also:
- Brush your teeth twice a day
- Floss daily
- Replace your toothbrush regularly

Crown Castle International Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Turning to Slide 4. During the second quarter, we generated site rental revenue of $518 million, up 13% from the second quarter of 2011. New tenant additions increased site rental revenue by 6%, reflecting the increased leasing activity driven by the 4 major carriers upgrading their networks. And the remaining 7% growth came from our 2 recent acquisitions. The contribution to site rental revenues from these acquisitions was approximately $6 million higher in the quarter than we had previously expected. Further, we were able to achieve certain cost synergies related to these acquisitions quicker than we had previously anticipated.
Site rental gross margin, defined as site rental revenues less cost of operations, was $386 million, up 15% from the second quarter of 2011. Further, our network services continue to exceed our expectations, reflecting the level of network upgrade activity in the market.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 was $379 million, up 18% from the second quarter of 2011.
As shown on Slide 5, AFFO was $215 million, up 19% from the second quarter of 2011. And adjusted funds from operations per share was $0.74, up 17% from the second quarter of 2011. Further, while there were no significant nonrecurring items in the second quarter, I would note that we collected approximately $5 million in cash in the second quarter that we had previously expected to collect in the third quarter, which benefited our AFFO results in the second quarter.
Turning to investments and liquidity as shown on Slide 6. During the second quarter, we spent $95 million on capital expenditures. These capital expenditures included $29 million on our land lease purchase program. As of today, we own or control for more than 20 years the land beneath towers, representing approximately 77% of our gross margin. We believe this activity is a core competency of Crown Castle and continue to enjoy significant success with this program as evidenced by the fact that today, 39% of our site rental gross margin is generated from towers on land that we own, up from less than 15% in January of 2007. Further, the average term remaining on our ground leases is approximately 32 years. We continue to focus a significant amount of effort and capital on purchasing land beneath our towers and extending our ground leases.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Immigration Policy & Law
Immigration Policy & Law
Recent Activity
This discussion focuses on E-Verify, the federal government's electronic employment verification system, and the release of an MPI report that assesses the program's strengths and weaknesses.
In order to rectify the shortcomings of a rigid and outdated U.S. visa system set in place by the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), this report recommends creating a new visa stream called provisional visas which would sync visa policies with the way in which labor markets work in practice, and bridge temporary and permanent employment-based admissions to the United States in a predictable and transparent way.
This conference offers law and policy analysis and discussion on cutting-edge immigration issues.
MPI convened the first extraordinary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration in Berlin on June 17-18, 2009. The expert dialogue focused on local integration efforts and outcomes in North America and Europe, examining what works (and what does not) with respect to integration.
Award winners for the inaugural year of the E Pluribus Unum Prizes program were honored at a reception at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC in 2009.
MPI's symposium on citizenship examined immigrant civic and political participation, the notion of local voting rights for noncitizens, the concept and practice of dual citizenship, and the role of citizenship in immigrant integration.
This policy paper proposes creation of a permanent, independent executive-branch agency that would make regular recommendations to the president and Congress for adjusting employment-based immigration levels.The Standing Commission concept, first articulated by the MPI-convened Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future in its 2006 final report, would provide timely, evidence-based and impartial analysis that is vital for informed policymaking. The bipartisan Standing Commission would be staffed by a professional corps of career economists, demographers and other social scientists.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.

We are building a 3800 square foot house with long driveway, septic system, storm water drainage, and flagstone patio. We were just told by the builder that we may need a special permit from the US gov't because we may be over the one acre disturbance limit...anything pushing dirt around is a disturbance..grading the lot, etc. I am freaking out because we were originally told this would not be necessary. Our engineering is about done and it will depend on what type of storm drainage system the township allows us to get by with. The permit is 8k and takes a few months. We've been waiting two years for a raw land development to get through the red tape...now to find this out is beyond frustrating. We should be in our home by now, but the red tape has drug on and on. |

I do not know where you are building, but as a Civil Engineer I have worked in Indiana and Illinois. In both states, you must submit a permit application for erosion control/stormwater management if you are disturbing more than one acre. In Indiana you submit a Notice of Intent (Rule 5) NPDES General Permit Rule for Stormwater Discharge Associated with Construction Activity to Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The permit generally takes 30-45 days after submitting. In Illinois you submit a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for Stormwater Discharge due to Construction Activities to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The permit takes 30 days after submitting. All states are different, but I doubt you need a federal permit unless you are working in a wetland or floodway. |

One of the seven sisters of the East, Manipur has got it all; from nature to culture and adventure.
A picturesque land, surrounded by hills, holds refreshing waterfalls, exotic orchids, and a large fresh water lake — if this enthrals you, then Manipur should be your destination.
Literally meaning a jewelled town, you will find yourself lost in the rich culture, tradition and ethnicity of the city, but that is if you are not already lost in the breathtaking scenic beauty! Home of the land lily Siroi (grown only in the Ukhrul district in the entire world) and a host of other rare species of flora and fauna, Manipur is one of the seven sisters of the north-east and is an emerging sports power. The "Sagol Kangjei", better known as Polo, an indigenous game of Manipur is now played worldwide. There are a number of indigenous games in the State namely Yubi Lakpi (Manipuri Rugby), Khong Kangjei (Manipuri Hockey), Kang, Hiyang Tannaba (Boat race), Thang-Ta, etc.
Places of interest
The tourist attractions of the State include picturesque lakes, beautiful landscapes, historic monuments and display of arts and ethnic traditions. Some major tourist centres are:
INA Memorial at Moirang: About 40 km from Imphal, the town of Moirang has a special place in the history of the Indian freedom struggle. It was here that the flag of the Indian National Army was first hoisted in 1944 by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
There is a Netaji Memorial Museum in this complex displaying letters, photographs, badges of ranks and other memorabilia reminding the noble sacrifices made by the INA.
Loktak Lake and Sendra Island: Some 45 km from Imphal, Loktak is the largest fresh water lake in the North East region. It has an enchanting landscape.
From the Tourist Bungalow set atop Sendra Island, visitors get a bird's eye view of the unique lake and the floating masses of water hyacinth. If in the mood for a day picnic, this is the place to hit! Keibul Lamjao National Park: It is the only floating park existing in the country and the last habitat of Sangai, the brown-antlered deer. Panther, fishing cat, wild boar and water birds are the other interesting wild animals and birds seen here.
War Cemeteries: Commemorating the memories of the British and Indian soldiers who died during the Second World War, these cemeteries are managed by the Common Wealth War Graves Commission. Serene and well maintained, the graves carry little stone markers and bronze plaques, recording the sacrifice of those gallant soldiers.
Khonghampat Orchidarium: Seven kms from Imphal, on Highway No. 39 is the Central Orchidarium, which covers 200 acres and houses over 110 rare varieties of orchids, which include almost a dozen endemic species. The peak blooming season is March - April.
Khwairamband Bazar: A unique all women's market, 3000 "Imas" or mothers run the rows of open stalls in concrete sheds, all hawking their fare.
It is split into two sections on either side of the road. Vegetables, fruits, fish and household groceries sold on one side and exquisite handlooms and household tools, on the other.
Other places worth visiting are: Shri Govindajee Temple, Sahid Minar, Manipur State Museum, Langthabal, Manipur Zoological Garden, Singda Dam.
For the adventurous, seeking some trekking, the Mountaineering Institute might be of interest. The scenic Djuko valley on the Nagaland- Manipur border, the Baruni mountains and Koubru Leikha are other places worth checking out.
Culture and Heritage
Handloom, dance and sculpting form an integral part of Manipuri culture. The Manipuri handloom and handicraft are world famous for its craftsmanship as well as ingenuity, colourfulness and usefulness. Every house possesses a loom, and Manipuris weave with a passion and style, unrivalled by any other state. Manipuri bed covers of Moirangfee and flower designs, silk and cotton sarees, scarves, blankets and shawls, in distinctive shades and weaves, make for an enchanting collection. A wide range of artistic handicrafts from bamboo, papier mache, decorative ivory, dolls and jewellery make for prized souvenirs. The classical Manipuri dance is a unique form of dance, usually related to the Raas Lila.
Lai Haroba (feast of dances, representing celebrations of Gods / Goddesses), Pung Cholem (Mridanga dance), Mao Naga dance, the Priestess dance of Malbe Jagoi, Thangal Surung dance etc. reflect the vibrant culture of the 29 different tribes of Manipur. Witnessing the exquisite Manipuri dance-drama, in its original colourful settings, is simply an unforgettable experience.
Manipuri cuisine
The traditional Manipuri fine dining was a sit down affair with banana leaf plates. An interesting fact of Manipuri feasts is that once a group starts their meal, they all get up together in the end, and no one can sit in between once the serving starts. People serve in dhotis with a white cloth tied around their mouth in pin drop silence. Rice is the staple food; some take rice with meat and others prefer a fish delicacy along with the main dish. Over 10-15 varieties of vegetables and side-dishes compliment it. For those interested in trying the traditional Manipuri food, Gopal Pizza at the Iscon Temple and Yaisena hotel (MG avenue) are some options.

Gwyneth, Taylor Swift Perform at CMAs (VIDEO)
Not only is she taking her act to next week's Glee, Gwyneth Paltrow went country at the CMA Music Awards in Nashville Wednesday night. With a who's-who of Music City looking on, Gwyneth closed the show with the signature song from her upcoming big-screen drama Country Strong.
Gwynnie seemed to channel queen of country Faith Hill in her performance, which is notable because Faith's husband Tim McGraw is Gwyneth's Country co-star! Peep Gwyneth's performance below:
Earlier in the show, T-Swift had another dramatic moment with her piano, belting out a heartfelt version of "Back to December," a song rumored to be penned about ex Taylor Lautner.

Washington Gas Energy Services Announces Special Offers To Support Philadelphia's Quest To Become The Nation's #1 Green Power Community
Harry Warren, President of Washington Gas Energy Services, Inc. (WGES) and Tom Kehoe, Founder of Yards Brewing Company (Yards), today joined Philadelphia and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials to launch the Philadelphia Green Power Community Challenge. Special WGES wind power offers to PECO service territory customers are now available.
Sponsored by the EPA, the Green Power Community Challenge encourages cities, towns and municipalities and their local government, businesses and residents to use green power products, such as wind power, to reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity use.
Through September 2012, Philadelphia's residential customers who purchase 50% or 100% WGES CleanSteps ® WindPower can save up to ten or five percent, respectively, over PECO's current electricity rates; business customers are also eligible for special WGES CleanSteps ® WindPower offers.
"Staying with green power and renewing our 100% WGES CleanSteps ® WindPower contract for three years is part of our company philosophy of 'going the extra yard,'" said Yards Owner and Founder Tom Kehoe. "We want to make measurable differences on our environment and thank WGES for making the process easy and affordable. We encourage other Philadelphia businesses and residents to make the switch to wind power and support this Challenge."
Choosing WGES CleanSteps ® WindPower is good for both Philadelphia and the environment. Each purchase supports Philadelphia's quest to be the nation's #1 Green Power Community and every 10,000 kWh of WGES CleanSteps ® WindPower has the environmental equivalency of taking one car off the road for a full year. "We commend Yards Brewing Company for their environmental leadership and thank them for signing a new 100% WGES CleanSteps ® WindPower agreement as part of this initiative," said Harry Warren, President of Washington Gas Energy Services. "As a leading competitive energy supplier, we are committed to providing customers with options that include green energy products. We look forward to supporting Philadelphia residents and businesses in their efforts to reach their goal."

Such an interesting podcast! It was the geekiest ever and I loved it! I learned very much. I was surprised to find out that a curved silver screen can eliminate hot-spotting with 2D material. Im really looking forward to your take on the D-73d. I bet it will be incredible.
Podcast 57: Bob Williams
Run Time: 59:36
About the part where you guys were talking about the % of light lost at the polarizer, then at the glasses.
You lose 20% at the polarizer, then another 20% at the glasses. However, the 2nd 20% is only 20% of the 80% coming thru the polarizer.
100 x .80 = 80 --> 80 x .80 = 64
So, not 70%, like Bob was saying, but not 60% either.
Jim, the Dolby system indeed triple flashes each frame when in 3D mode for a combine 144Hz display. However, when the projector is switched to 2D it will refresh at 24Hz. 144Hz is needed to prevent flicker since each eye view is seen only 50% of the time. In 2D, both eyes see a continuous view, and the projector can match the content's original frame rate. At 24Hz the brightness is higher and the bit depth available to the DLP system is higher.
Listened to an excellent podcast with Scott Wilkinson and you talking about your latest projection project. Your discussion was fill with interesting and valuable information.
There was a section of you saying digital projection, 3D, is shot to the screen in 24 frames per second. I wonder about that. I am a projectionist who had a great hand in installing a Dolby DLP projector and we were/are under impression that, yes, 24 fps but the

The prevalence of US adults with hypertension as well as those who take antihypertensive medication has increased in recent years, according to telephone surveys carried out by state health departments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In 2009, 28.3% of US adults told interviewers they had hypertension, compared with 25.8% in 2005. Of those who said they had the condition, the proportion who reported using antihypertensive medication increased to 62.6% from 61.1% during the same time period. The results are from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

Style: Hop-Rocketed American Pale Ale
Full Brew Birthday: March 2012
Interesting fact: Named the official beer of retro-gamers
Just like those classic video games we all grew up with, 8-Bit Pale Ale seems spectacularly simple at first, yet remarkably fun and complex when you get into it.
Our Hop-Rocket* infuses the character of Austrailian grown Galaxy Hops into an American Pale Ale, giving a unique tropical, almost melon aroma in a classic American style.
*a hop-rocket is the stainless steel vessel that we use to cycle the beer through Galaxy Hops for 6 hours before we send the beer to you. This adds extra hop oils, tastes and aroma, not gained in the normal brewing process.
Malts: 2 Row, Victory, Vienna & Munich
Hops: Magnum, Centennial, Cascade & Galaxy

Wellcome Trust researchers have identified a key gene involved in the disease Lupus, which affects around 50,000 people in the UK, mostly women. The lead researcher behind the study has called for more patients to volunteer DNA samples to enable them to further study the underlying causes of the disease.
Lupus or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease which frequently causes skin rash, joint pains and malaise, but can also lead to inflammation of the kidneys and other internal organs. The risk of death in SLE is increased fivefold over that of the general population. However, because the symptoms are often non-specific, diagnosing the condition can be difficult. There is currently no cure for the disease, which can be triggered by viral infections, sunlight, trauma or stress, as well as puberty and childbirth.
In research published online today in the journal Nature Genetics, Professor Tim Vyse from Imperial College London, and colleagues in the US and Canada, have identified a new genetic variant, OX40L, which increases the risk of developing Lupus. The variant, which is carried by one in six people in the UK, increases the risk of developing the disease by 50% per copy.
"Lupus can be a very serious condition, but because its symptoms are often similar to those of other illnesses, it can be difficult and take time to diagnose," says Professor Vyse, a Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow from Imperial College. "Although it appears to have a number of environmental triggers, we are now beginning to get a clearer picture of the role that genetics also plays in the disease."
OX40L is a gene that is important in several different types of cells in the immune system. The work, carried out by members of Prof Vyses laboratory, shows that the genetic variants in the OX40L gene that amplify the risk of lupus do so by increasing the amount of OX40L present on the surface of lymphocytes, which are key components of the
