It's rare to find Sally Jewell in her Washington, D.C., office.
A little more than a year into her job as Interior Department secretary, Jewell spends much of her time out in the field.
It's unavoidable for someone who heads the federal agency that oversees some 400 National Parks and nearly 300 million acres of federal lands. "It's in the job description," she says, adding "it's also a fun part of the job."
Of late, Jewell has been in the forefront of the administration's efforts to raise awareness of the threat of climate change.
On a recent visit to Jamestown, Va., the site of the first successful English colony, and part of the Colonial National Historical Park, Jewell saw firsthand the damage that high water in recent storms has done to historic sites and artifacts.
Jamestown is already low lying and has had several feet of shoreline disappear in recent years.
"We think about the economic impact of storms and sea level rise and those things that we feel in climate change," Jewell says. "I don't think we always think about the impact on our history and our culture and what defines us as a people and here in Jamestown all of that really comes together."
Jewell is a trim 58, just as you might expect someone to be who hikes, climbs, kayaks, and once ran outdoors gear retailer REI. Her extensive business experience, including stints in banking and energy, makes her unusual in the Obama administration.
Sitting at a picnic table outside the Jamestown visitors center she says running a cabinet department is a bit different than running a business.
"There are some fundamental differences between the government sector and the private sector that I understand much more today than I did a year ago."
One of those fundamental differences, Jewell says, is risk taking. In business, you're often rewarded for taking a risk, even if it fails. In government, she says, not so much.
"In the government trying new things, if you make a mistake you're drug in front of a congressional hearing of some sort… people are saying, 'why did you take that risk?' So to convince your team that they need to think differently, that they need to take risks, is something that generally they've not ever been rewarded for."
Jewell says one risk she's encouraged her department to take is an initiative with the private sector, aimed at engaging young people in the outdoors.
"The reward is extraordinary," Jewell says. "It's putting on the map for these young people potential future careers they've never heard about, places they've never known before, places that they will always be connected to because of the trees that they planted or the work they did.
Another bit of frustration for Jewell revolves around a frequently heard complaint in Washington — the glacial pace of the Senate confirmation process. One year into what she says will be a four-year term, Jewell says she has had the majority of her assistant aecretary positions "in flux," and was without a deputy from last July to the end of February. Then she says the nomination was confirmed unanimously. "So it this is not controversial, it is dysfunction."
The Interior Department's wide ranging responsibilities, include managing those 300 million acres of federal lands.
The agency's Bureau of Land Management was involved in the highly politicized incident this spring when it tried to remove Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's cattle from federal lands when he refused to pay his grazing fees.
It resulted in an armed standoff between Bundy supporters and federal law enforcement. Jewell defends the BLM's activities.
"For someone to openly and intentionally not pay the grazing fees undermines the law abiding nature of other ranchers", she says. "We can't stand for it, we won't stand for it."
It's not clear what the government's next move will be in the Bundy case. But Jewell says her job is to execute the Interior Department's mission. She says her prior business experience helps her do that, and that she's found "a very willing ear" in the White House for that point of view.

Patrick I've spoken with Eileen about a wish list, but she said that really has to come from the users. I think Autodesk doesn't want to have people think the wishlist is ideas they are going to guarantee.
Hopefully, we can get more people behind our wish list http://www.pdoteam.com/wishlist/plant3d which we can use to present ideas similar to how the AUGI wishlist works.
Hi Dave and Patrick.
Dave is correct. While I think it's a great idea to have a wish list topic on this forum (which I could pin to the top of the forum for easy access and viewing), if Autodesk initiates the post, it might insinuate to contributors that we are signing up to take the wish list items and get them into the next release. I cannot guarantee that we could do so. What I can do is message the wish list items to our development team.
I've been looking into a couple of ideas, so please stay tuned.
Meanwhile, feel free to create a Wish List thread on this forum and I will monitor it and message back to our team.
Was there any more thought on this subject. I am not sure if i should be asking the questions on this discussion forum or on the Ask The Expert forum.
Sometimes I have asked on both and got excellent answers from both.
Hi Patrick.
We are keeping both features for the time being, since they both provide value to the software users. I'll keep you up to date if we decide to consolidate the features on the discussion forums.

Greece debt: Government sees hope in privatization despite protests
Officials see privatization as a way to dig out of Greece's debt, but newly unemployed workers are taking to the streets of Athens in protest. Tuesday's 10,000-strong demonstration may foreshadow larger protests to come, some say.
Evi Zoupanou/AP
Athens, Greece
Kleanthis Tratras was among 10,000 Greek protesters Tuesday in the fifth general strike this year against government spending cuts. He, like many of the protesters, has found himself unemployed because of the government's privatization of state companies to raise money.
The heavily indebted Greek government has adopted the International Monetary Fund's recommendation to raise some of the €320 billion ($390 billion) it owes foreign lenders through privatization. And that has transformed central Athens into a stage for daily demonstrations, even in the heat of summer when many here typically take long vacations.
While Tuesday's demonstration was smaller than past protests this year, strikes are expected to pick up again when vacationers return from the beach.
IN PICTURES: Top 10 things Greece could sell
That spells trouble unless the government can convince people like Mr. Tratras that privatization is essential along the country's road to economic recovery.
His former employer, the national air carrier Olympic Airways, was privatized in September 2009. As the new owner attempted to trim costs, it also decided in March to cut 4,400 workers, including Tratras. Months later, he and other former workers have yet to receive any compensation or pension payments, despite legislation that ordered their pensions be paid.

Title of dissertation: Orchestration and Atomicity
Writing clear and correct concurrent code is a difficult task, even for experienced programmers. It requires attention to the potential interactions of many different entities, and those entities are often in disparate locations in a program. Current programming abstractions have not been adequate to manage this complexity. Threads with shared state are at present the dominant approach to concurrent programming. Under this model, the dynamic structure of the concurrent execution is not at all apparent from the lexical structure of the program.
The Orc programming language changes the conceptual model of programming to be pervasively concurrent in a structured way. The concurrent structure of an Orc execution is evident from the lexical structure of the program; this is a substantial improvement on the threaded programming model. Orc uses special objects called sites to perform computation, to communicate with the external world, and to mediate access to shared state.
Sites are numerous and diverse, they can have nontrivial semantics, and many of them represent some kind of shared resource. Thus, the difficulties inherent in using shared state still recur frequently when writing Orc programs. At present, Orc programs make use of locks, semaphores, and other mutual exclusion disciplines to safeguard access to shared state at sites. This gives rise to all of the difficulties inherent in locking.
The use of language-level transactions, especially in the context of transactional memory, has been explored as an alternative to locks. Inspired by this approach, I have developed Ora, an extension of Orc with a new 'atomic' combinator, which executes an Orc expression transactionally. I show how the specification of 'atomic' can be formalized in a novel way. Rather than describing a transaction as being equivalent to some uninterrupted sequence of operations, I show how the essence of transactional execution can be described in terms of two constraints on the causal order of events, without ever requiring a global sequencing of events. These two constraints are called 'atomicity' and 'coatomicity'. I show how these are separate concerns from 'consistency', which governs only the invariants of shared state.
Ora allows unlimited concurrent activity within a transaction, as well as unbounded nesting of transactions. It also allows the transactional use of semaphores and asynchronous channels. I have developed an algorithm that extends the standard approach of multiversion concurrency control (MVCC) to allow unbounded parallelism and unbounded nesting while maintaining the properties of atomicity, coatomicity, and consistency for shared memory as well as for semaphores and channels.

I am looking at this model water hog mat, does anyone on here have experience with it. It would be for outside front door, snowy climate. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't have one, but they sell them at LL Bean, and there are 2 reviews there. You may have seen them but I have linked them below. Their non-coir ones get great reviews. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Durable Coir-Style Waterhog Mat
Thanks, my 3 dogs. I have seen them on llbean and was thinking of ordering but wanted opinions from others. I know they only have 2 reviews compared to others but this model is relatively new in comparison so wondered if maybe that was the reason. The others to me look like what I would call indoor mats and I want one to hold up outsides with snow, salt and water. Any one have any do the models thst they use outside. |
While I was Googling the coir ones, I found that LL Bean had several coir that they no longer carry. On their 'Waterhog' page, I saw that you could filter by many options and one of them was 'outdoor', which brought up several, although their 'name' doesn't always have 'outdoor' in it. I'd call their great customer service people and see if they can tell you which ones may be good outside, since non-coir ones have wonderful reviews and LOTS of them. They all say that they can be hosed off, so I think there may be more types that would work for you. Good luck! |
I have two of the waterhog mats...one just inside the entry, and one at the kitchen sink. I don't think that they absorb water any more than any other kind of rug, I bought them for the color, lol! I haven't had a chance to hose them down, so I don't know how well they come clean, although I do vacuum them. Tried to sweep them clean, but there's too many ruts/grooves for that. The backing on them is too heavy to just throw into the washing machine, so if the weather ever warms up, I'd like to bring them outside to clean them. I also imagine that mine could go outside in front of the door too, just haven't tried that yet. Maybe when I get tired of them being indoors, I will ! |

Co-founders Spooks "Spooky" Joya and Legion Avegno preside over a chorus of humming needles at Fallen Sparrow Tattoos, where a team of talented, professional artists customizes bodies with unique tattoos and piercings. After serving in apprenticeships under some of New York City's most renowned inkers and pulling his first tattoo needle from an immovable stone, Spooky continues to decorate skin with pristine line work and elegant scripts. Co-artist Legion sits beside Spooky in the hygienic studio as he converts clients' half-formed ideas into colorful sleeves or black-ink tuxedo jackets. Piercers Billy and Tyler work alongside their tattooing counterparts, busily bedecking bodies with custom surface and deep-tissue piercings.
Stigma Tattoo Bar compiles a trifecta of signifiers of lighthearted vice in its combination tattoo and piercing parlor, bar, and pole-dancing studio. Red vinyl couches line brick walls, and poles reach from floor to ceiling for classes scheduled along with lap-dance and burlesque lessons. Flat-screen TVs entertain customers as they're inked or studded, and a dramatic metal cage in the center of the room contributes to an edgy club atmosphere where you never know if a lion might appear from behind the bar.
Billed as "a modern art studio for modern art enthusiasts," A Pirate's Isle Tattoo Studio's artists create the kinds of masterpieces that belong on a canvas. And, in a way, they end up on one, if you consider the body to be a blank canvas, as they do. Will Arney and JT Webster use vivid colors to make body art pop, from a spray of pink flowers blooming along the top of a client's foot to a cluster of menacing skulls. In addition to the tattooing services, they also perform body piercings and apply permanent makeup.
Certified permanent-makeup specialist and licensed aesthetician Holly Mercuri helms Natural Beauty Permanent Make-up & Esthetics, where she uses the tattoo-inspired procedure to trace facial features with eyeliner, eyebrow tints, and lip liner that last for years. Her hypoallergenic pigments are custom blended for each client to create a look that is natural and won't smudge or rub off like regular makeup or mascara made from grape jam. Perfect for busy professionals with full mornings, Mercuri's services are also ideal for those with poor vision or shaky hands, and her expertise has even been requested by doctors and plastic surgeons, where it is put to use in treatments such as breast repigmentation, scar camouflaging, and other corrective procedures.
Though Mercuri's studio specializes in permanent makeup, her beautifying touch also extends to facials and waxing services, and onsite massage therapist Jayne Nelson can knead away stress with reflexology or Swedish massage.
With 25 years of licensure and five licenses between them, the beauticians of Premadonna's Salon have employed the latest in salon and spa treatments to bring out their clients? best features. The staff specializes in permanent makeup, especially for corrective purposes, using the interdermal pigmentation method?during which they apply micro insertions of natural pigments into the skin. Beautician Stacey is also a licensed tattoo artist, and teaches the art of tattooing at a separate training center. The chic South Tampa location is sheathed in denim blue walls and black furnishings.
Boiling Crab and Seafood's chefs craft a host of plates featuring favorites from the great blue yonder. Thirteen types of poboys populate a menu, which also catalogs crab legs served with rich Cajun garlic-butter, Maryland blue crabs, and butterfly shrimp baskets. They offer 55 food items in total, and their drink menu complements that slate with Corona, Michelob, and French coffee.

Isabella Camberlango's room is modern, stylish and completely in vogue. And she's only 8 months old. As Isabella toddles happily across the oversized shag rug in the center of her mostly green and white room in the family's Scottsdale home, her contented gurgles give no indication she misses the usual baby decor found in traditional nurseries — an overload of teddy bears, cartoon character wallpaper or pastel walls.
Isabella's room is all mod thanks to her stylish mom, who's one of a growing number of parents choosing to go the contemporary route when it comes to their baby rooms.
"I knew I definitely wanted a modern nursery," says Teri Camberlango. The home she shares with husband Chris, Isabella and Ava, 3, is modern throughout. The couple, formerly of San Francisco, say they've never been into the "primary colors thing," preferring, instead, the urban look. But as Camberlango found out when she started designing the nursery, Winnie-the-Pooh-less baby furniture is hard to come by.
"Modern fits our style, but it's really hard to find modern nursery furniture," she says.
She found what she was looking for in the Scottsdale boutique Haus, which specializes in modern decor.
Gregory Gordon, one of Haus' owners who helped design the Camberlango's nursery, says he's seeing an influx of gender neutrality and unexpected colors in modern nursery design.
"We didn't want to be traditional. It was a modern home, and we wanted to be unexpected and different," says Gordon. Painting the walls of Isabella's nursery a bright chartreuse was a daring move, but Camberlango says she was won over by the way it complemented the pink and white furniture. Haus designers had a graffiti artist paint small groupings of white elephants on two opposite walls and put white Jonathan Adler elephant sculptures on floating wall shelves to add a sense of whimsy to the room, says Gordon.
"We did something clean, simple and streamlined, not frilly," he says. "And we played off the elephants. The room doesn't have to be seriously modern, and that's what I think is successful about that nursery."
Jane Lockhart knows about the trend in nurseries going more mod. The Toronto interior designer has transformed several nurseries from cutesy to contemporary as the host of HGTV's "Get Color!" Forgoing the blue/pink motif based on the baby's sex, Lockhart says parents are now inclined to go for a genderneutral palette that includes unusual colors like purples and oranges.
"Parents today grew up in a time where there was a lot of gender bias, but they're not doing stereotypes so much any longer," she says, adding that cultural shifts are articulated through design and color. In a less gender-rigid society, design allows a more flexible color scheme.
"In the larger context, there's been a degenderizing of space," says Lockhart.
Modern parents also want to see the nursery make the transition into child's bedroom as the child grows. In Isabella's nursery, the crib can be converted to a toddler bed by simply removing the slatted sides. The front of the changing table can be removed to transform the piece into a grown-up dresser.
"I wanted something that would last more than a year," says Camberlango.
Lockhart warns that parents who choose a "theme nursery," no matter how cute, might be making a mistake from a budget point of view.
"You're really hemmed in with a theme," she says. "Once they grow out of it, you have to change everything. Versatility is important."
So then what do parents-to-be choose for a versatile color? While black and white might seem like the ultimate ode to modern, Lockhart warns that high-contrast colors can actually be cause for a more awake — and often more tearful — baby.
"Babies don't really see color, they see contrast," says Lockhart. "So you want to minimize the amount of contrast." That doesn't mean always choosing muted colors, though. "You can have all bright colors, just make sure they're all bright. Like red and a lighter red, or brown, but not red and white.
Keeping this in mind, says Lockhart, nursery design really boils down to what makes mom and dad feel good.
"If you feel good," she says, "chances are your baby will feel OK."

Hip-hop star KANYE WEST credits the year of his childhood spent living in China with his desire to become a celebrity.
The THROUGH THE WIRE rapper travelled from his native America to China as a pre-teen, and he's certain his brief stint in the Asian nation pushed him to vie for stardom as an adult.
He explains, "My mother's an English professor and they had an exchange program where they would send a student over here and they would send a teacher over there. So I stayed there for a year. I used to know how to speak Chinese and everything.
"But because I was black they weren't used to seeing people of colour so they would come and surround you and that kinda like got me ready to be a superstar. I was a celebrity in fifth grade!
"They'd even come and rub your skin and they'd ask your mother how old she was. I mean, this was back when I was in fifth grade so it's probably changed now."

The New York Times has added an important correction to an article it published on a recent ruling issued by the military judge in the trial of Pfc. Bradley Manning. In the ruling, the judge decided not to acquit Manning of the charge of "aiding the enemy," which is one of the greater offenses he faces for disclosing United States government information to WikiLeaks.

A Chester family was able to retrieve their stolen vehicle two weeks ago because a 10-year-old girl was just paying attention to her surroundings.
When ChesterFest rolls around Sept. 24, one section of Chester's Village Green will transform into a play haven for the little ones. The Kid's Zone at this year's event should have your children nodding off not long after dinner that evening.
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its 400th anniversary during Publick Days, a signature annual event which celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the "New World." In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus.
This year, the Chester Community Association (CCA) celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Village's biggest annual event: ChesterFest. Out of the many booths and venders at ChesterFest, the Village News spotlighted three artists and artisans scheduled to make an appearance at this year's celebration – each bringing their own craft for people to see.
A year after Courtney Jae Borders dazzled six judges to become the 2010 Miss Chesterfield County Fair, 18-year-old Jessica Fee, outshining seven other young ladies, ascended to the crown last Monday evening. The pageant served as Monday night's Grandstand entertainment for the 100 or so people in attendance.
Wednesday, September 7
Chester Choices Book Discussion Group. Chester Library. 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett will be discussed. Details: 748-6314.
Cornerstone Business Builders Meeting. 8 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Salem Baptist Church. Details: 748-5533.
Al-Anon Family Group Meeting/Simultaneous AA Meeting. 8 p.m. Ivey Memorial Methodist Church, 17120 Jeff Davis Hwy. Details: 861-2620.
Two area musical groups will bring a glimpse of Appalachia and the British Isles to Chester on Saturday, Sept. 24: The Old Towne Celtic Players, a session group out of Petersburg, and the Cary Street Ramblers, a band bringing Richmond sounds from the mountains, will be adding quite a bit of twang to this year's ChesterFest.

Teaser video: Smart ForTwo & ForFour
Comment on this storyBoblingen, Germany - Daimler has revved up speculation that the next-generation Smart ForTwo and ForFour are to be formally introduced on 16 July with the release of this teaser video, showing the process of development through the various concepts to the production-ready car.
Since it's already been announced that they will share most of their running gear with the new Renault Twingo, you're looking at a choice of either a 51kW, one-litre triple or a 66kW 900cc turbotriple, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual or an (extra-cost, optional) six-speed auto transmission.
The maker has said standard kit will include daytime running lights, rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, a multifunction steering wheel and a rev-counter up on top of the dashboard near the A-pillar.

Pepper Spray
Not long ago, pepper spray was largely inaccessible to the general public. But today, anyone can enjoy this powerful tool of personal protection. At Home Security Store, we offer the most effective pepper spray products by leading brands, like Mace. Mace Pepper Spray provides an effective, non-lethal means of protecting yourself from a would-be attacker. The spray is not life threatening, but it's guaranteed to incapacitate any attackers.
Legal Disclaimer
The laws regarding pepper spray vary from one state to the next, so if you're not sure about the local litigation, please speak to your police department. Some states only allow certain sizes and concentrations, and some states prohibit Internet sales of pepper spray – know the rules before you make a purchase. Also, it's important to note that it's never legal to spray a human being without just cause.
Choose Your Weapon
We offer a wide variety of Mace Pepper Spray products, including many that are small enough to fit inside a handbag or pocket. Whether you choose a large spray canister or a lipstick-sized spray that fits on a key ring, it's important that you use pepper spray responsibly and follow some basic guidelines:
* Make sure to keep your pepper spray in the same location at all times. In an emergency situation, you're not going to have time to dig around for it, so it's critical that you keep in a consistent, convenient location that you can easily access at a moment's notice.
* Test your pepper spray from time to time, in order to ensure that it still works properly. Your tests will also give you the opportunity to practice using the spray.
* Keep your pepper spray out of the reach of children. Although it's not lethal, pepper spray can be excruciatingly painful. Don't leave it where your kids can play with it.

"This was yummy. I added a little more suger because DH likes his cornbread sweet. It was easy to put together, only thing is I used about 2 1/2 cups cornmeal since that was all I had, so I compinsated and used a tad less flour also (about 2 cups), but it was still excellent. I had mine with butter and strawberry jam. Thanks for posting this"
"I wish there were more stars to give, this was excellent. I liked the difference in the tomato sauce and to DH & I it didn't come across as pasta sauce as someone else mentioned. I mean its tomatoes so yes there is a bit of a sauce element but we love chili for the same reason :) Only thing I did was to add some peas when it was almost finished. ..."

Dear Massachusetts,
I'm just sitting here in my bedroom, flipping through old photographs of the months I spent in 2004 living in Worcester, trying to figure out for myself how a state whose ultra cool historical legacy of sticking it to The Man could be so quickly undone by electing that sexy hunk of Republican man-meat, Scott Brown.
Was it the hair?
The smoldering eyes?
The um ... rippling pectorals?
Wait, I know: Brown is the bad-boy renegade the Kennedy daddies warned you to stay away from, making him all the more irresistible. I'm just going to stick with that explanation, because at least it's one I can relate to (in my dreams, anyway). Nobody puts Massachusetts in a corner. I get it.
The trouble with that though is that YOU used to be the renegade. Now you just suck.
When everyone else was living under the oppressive exploitation of the British, you were the first among the colonies to tell King George where to go. Adams, Franklin, and Emerson are your sons (not to mention Joe Perry...). You were at the forefront of abolition when everyone else was making money hand over fist with slave labor. Gay Marriage? FU Red States, the Bay State is going fabulous. Hell, you toppled the almighty Yankee empire by forcing a record game 7 after being down 3 games for chrissakes! That is the Massachusetts I know and love. You are scrappers rising from the bottom to the top, and you don't take no shit.
Until last night's election, that is. Boy, did you ever drink the Kool-Aid, and now you very well may have screwed it for the rest of us, and by "us" I mean that obscure swath of non-insured, under-insured, and overspent middle states that everyone seems to be experts on but nobody really seems to understand.
I should have seen the writing on the wall in 2003 when you elected that creepy carpetbagger from our neck of the woods, Romney, for governor. Then again, he's also the guy that gave you the one thing you really wanted -- state sponsored health care. And what do ya know? It's working so well for you that you're all a little afraid the federal plan might just mess up your good thing -- perhaps less state coverage than you already have? Or maybe you just flat out didn't do your freaking homework. (Who has time when you're being romanced by Mr. Sexy, after all?)
I found this article in the HuffPost to be very enlightening. Particularly this part:
In a somewhat paradoxical finding, a plurality of voters who switched to the Republican -- 37 percent -- said that Democrats were not being "hard enough" in challenging Republican policies.
It would be hard to find a clearer indication, it seems, that Tuesday's vote was cast in protest.
The poll also upends the conventional understanding of health care's role in the election. A plurality of people who switched -- 48 -- and didn't vote -- 43 -- said that they opposed the Senate health care bill. But the poll dug deeper and asked people why they opposed it. Among Brown voters, 23 percent thought it went "too far" -- but 36 percent thought it didn't go far enough; 41 percent said they weren't sure why they opposed it.
Pardon the geek reference, but that's a little like Luke Skywalker getting pissed that Obi Wan Kanobi isn't being hard enough on Darth Vader, so Luke decides he's going to show him the rest of his Jedi Knights and go ahead and join the Dark Side. Actually, they made a movie that sort of had that story line. It was called "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" and it sucked, just like you suck now.
And as if that first batch of logic wasn't embarrassing enough for the MA electorate, the second half of the data is even worse. Let me just first say here that, even though I'm angry, I can actually understand why some of you would vote for Brown to oppose the federal bill -- I'm looking at you, those 36% people -- fearing that it would take away some of the good stuff from the state government that you already have. You gotta take care of your own, and I can respect that, even though I think you have terrible taste. But who the HELL are these 41 percent of the people opposing the health care bill but not being sure why you oppose it?? Forty-one percent?
41 *&!@# percent?!
Enjoy your sexy new boyfriend, and your state funded health insurance.
Terrific writing, Kasey.
Bonnie: David Duke looks like Scott Brown after taking a douche bath. A little more wrinkly, but essentially the same.
Chuck: Marriage in Detroit. Divorce in Worcester. God I miss Polar Soda.
Everyone else: thank you for reading. I love hearing your comments.
Bear with us. Republicans are people, too, you know. Massholes, not so much. :)
Stupidity seems to be the new intellectualism across the US. You write very clearly and humorously why we seem to be in a downward spiral. Propoganda promulgated by ALL the media has been so very effective! 41% of the populace of Mass, not knowing why they oppose healthcare is astounding!
Ok I am.
Thoth, you are particularly good looking. Look me up if you're ever in Michigan. I've got some eggs to donate if you're at all interested. Kidding. Perhaps.
In all seriousness, being relatively new to OS, I can't say how much I appreciate you all taking the time to read my stuff. You all rock my world. I've returned the favor to many of your blogs (haven't gotten time yet to go to all) and I am shamefully flattered at your support, given the caliber of writing I've had the pleasure of reading. I don't want to lay it on too thick, but seriously, there is some really good stuff out there and I look forward to reading more.
Gwool, you strike me as a Republican I could actually tolerate, but I don't see anything happening from Brown as far as aiding any federal health care bill in any form. First, he's got way way too much political pressure from the GOP on his back, and secondly, I think any talk of a fair interest on his part is just lip service.
And I really hate to say this, but it appears everyone on here who is not Gwool is now in the minority. This from an article in USA Today uh... today:
"A 55% majority of Americans say President Obama and congressional Democrats should suspend work on the health care bill that has been on the verge of passage and consider alternatives that would draw more Republican support, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds."
So I guess we are the real fail-bots in this political equation, for allowing the message to get screwed up by a bunch of circle jerking minority republicans and their insurance lobbyist stroke partners. (Hey -- you all were the ones who said I had a way with metaphor.)
This is all very personal for me because, although at age 32 I'm healthy as a horse (at least I think I am -- without insurance or money for a checkup I can't really be sure) I haven't had insurance in seven years. In fact, the last doctor I saw was for a discount pap smear at Planned Parenthood. (Sorry -- TMI? Oh well. Deal with it.) Maybe if at the time I would have slipped my doctor a couple more $20s she could have checked me above the waist.
I think what it all boils down to is that we live in a country that is still relatively adolescent compared to the rest of the world, and we still have the same screwed up priorities any teenager would have -- good and bad. Teenagers don't worry about their health care because they all know they are going to live forever.

Jan. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Deutsche Bank AG's Anshu Jain, who is taking over as co-chief executive officer at the end of May, said investment banks face "powerful consolidation" that may help offset the effect of stricter capital rules on profits.
"Thanks to a series of restrictive legislation that is coming, there's going to be restrictions on business models," the head of the firm's investment bank said in an interview with Bloomberg Television today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "Having said that, there's going to be and is powerful consolidation in our industry, which means that those that survive this will actually wind up with a margin expansion over time."

Simply stated, this unique and spacious 1BR condo delivers the best that Point Pleasant has to offer. The best location, the best view, the best layout, and easily the best ambiance -- all provided in a relaxed, low key and comfortable environment.
Situated at waterside, our superior unit enjoys an ideal corner location on the 3rd floor of a 4-level building (only 2 condos per floor). It's unique location is further enhanced by sliding glass doors that extend the full length of both exterior walls. These glass 'sliders' are seldom closed except in inclement weather, as they open onto large, fully covered patios. The result is an open and airy living space that is dominated by views you will remember for the rest of your life!
A full renovation/restoration of the condo was completed by new owners in 2010, and it is furnished in a tropical Asian style. The decor contributes to a relaxed environment of casual warmth and comfort. Nice as they may be, however, the tropical furnishings go almost unnoticed compared to the incredible views from both the East and North-facing balconies.
The East (Windward) view features the famed North Shore of St. John (seemingly closer than the actual 5 miles over water). Just a fractional turn of the head exposes the spectacular 'down island' view of Tortola and the beautiful British Virgin Islands. Alternatively, the view from our North-facing balcony displays the adjacent Pineapple Beach, with numerous sailboats at anchor in the multi-colored waters of beautiful Water Bay.
The Condo's corner location and wrap-around design will enable you to enjoy ocean breezes that enter on one side of the condo and exit on the other. Elegant, yet comfortable, outdoor furniture virtually assures that guests will gravitate to the covered patios as their favored living and dining areas.
Beyond their traditional role as cool and sunny lounging areas, these covered patios are an ideal place to experience the breathtaking daily vista of a Caribbean sunrise over water. Further, virtually any clear night will deliver the romantic spectacle of 'moonlight over water'.
Whether "dining out" on the patio, or simply relaxing with a favorite cocktail, the ever-changing panorama of ocean views will not cease to amaze you. With its unique glass enclosed design, its preferred waterside location and it's covered balconies - it's no surprise that this delightful condo has become the most sought after one-bedroom at Point Pleasant.
The Point Pleasant Resort itself features a full range of amenities and activities, not the least of which is one popular restaurant and its three beautiful pools - each sporting a world class view of its own (one is situated directly below the condo's East balcony).
Excellent snorkeling is literally steps away at Sugar, Coki, Smith Bay Park and Pineapple beaches, with kayaking, wind surfing, day-sail charters, parasailing and jet skis all less than a five-minute walk away. In addition, Point Pleasant's own scenic hiking trail weaves throughout the grounds.
Other major attractions in the immediate vicinity are St. Thomas's renowned Coral World Underwater Marine Park (less than a half mile away), and scenic Magen's Bay - it's the largest beach on the island and is ranked as one of the ten most beautiful in the world (less than 15 minutes away).
* The 12 islands included in the breathtaking view from our East-facing balcony are (from left to right): Thatch Cay, Sandy Cay (BVI), Guana Island (BVI), Tortola (BVI), Grass Cay, Mingo Cay, Great Thatch (BVI), Congo Cay, Lovango Cay, Whistling Cay (BVI), St John, Ramgoat Cay and Henley Cay).
Keywords: Condominium
We are a semi-retired couple living in the Georgetown section of Washington, DC. St. Thomas has truly become our 'second home', and we enjoy spending time in either or both of our side-by-side condos here at the beautiful Point Pleasant Resort. Work permitting, we try to spend up to three months a year here (normally spread over 4 trips). We are happy to have you share either or both of our Condos, and we hope you will enjoy them, just as we do.
Most important during your stay is to simply relax and enjoy both our multi-faceted Island and our fantastic year-round weather. Whatever you choose to do with your time here, we strongly encourage you to dedicate at least one day to visiting nearby St. John. It is 3/4 National Park and is both stunningly beautiful and very well kept. At the same time, it is incredibly peaceful. We often tell friends who visit that 'Whatever drop in pace you experience in coming from your home to St. Thomas, you will experience an equivalent drop when you get off the ferry (either car or passenger), in St. John.
Our second major recommendation is that you spend a day on the water aboard one of the many day-sail charters that are available. All of them are sure to deliver both a relaxing day and a memorable experience. Our personal favorites are Coconut and Daydreamer, both of which are anchored just off the balcony. Fortunately, we are long time friends with the owners, and they never fail to provide a discount to our guests.
We hope you will enjoy your stay, and possibly come back to visit again. Please feel free to provide us feedback on your stay - either by making an entry in our guest book, talking to our Manager, Dionne, or by providing a review via VRBO. In any case, we hope you will truly enjoy both our Island and our home away from home.
Thank you for your consideration!
PS: Our photo was taken three years at the end of a fantastic 3-mile hike on the Reef Bay Trail in St John. We highly recommend it as well.
Property Manager purchased this condo in 2006
Our Condo is located on by far the nicest end of the island, and we also own the smaller unit next door (VRBO #267936). Beyond that, we never cease to be amazed by the combination of spectacular view, morning sun, cooling ocean breezes and the seemingly ideal location of our two condos. In addition, for families or friends traveling together, we are pleased to be able to provide an opportunity for the entire group to be close together in adjoining condos (we even have a door connecting the two patios that is only unlocked for such groups).
Guest comment 2/07: Thank you so very, very much for your hospitality....and Bernadette also. The TV is easy, if you follow the instruction card. Thanks to Bernadette for coming all the way out to us the first night and bringing two dozen CD's for us to play for some entertainment. I used the wireless at the reception area by front desk and found they also have snacks for sale as well. I spoke with other guests, picked up a few tips, and met nice people staying at the resort. There is a wonderful man name of Dan that bartends most nights at Agave's Overlook lounge. A lady named Debbie owns the shop by Fungi's; she can tell you how to go out on "Urge" the little red boat anchored nearby . We had a wonderful time and are already thinking of our next visit. I hope it can be real soon!. We had lots of R & R which we needed. We did just enough to satisfy our curiosities. We tried dinner at the Old Stone Farmhouse and met some nice young people working there. Trips to Magens Bay, the milkshakes are really good on the way; and the beaches on St. John, are two spots we tried. We had some great ribs , bought in the parking lot after we got off the ferry, to take with us. Our favorite activity was to stare at the beautiful view from the condo. Next time we will venture to some other spots too and do a little more snorkeling or a boat trip. David, who works weekends at the activity desk, at the resort, is very helpful and fun to talk to. It was hard to leave when our last day came.
Lots of choices including, Golf at well publicized Mahogany Run, Light Tackle or Deep Sea Fishing, Inter-island Boating, with Captain or by Private Charter, Duty Free Shopping, Spectacular Sightseeing and Swimming, Surfing on the North side, and much more, Not to be missed during your stay is a day on St John, Three quarters of the island is owned by the National Park Service and it is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Virgins -- British or U.S., You are no more than a 5-minute cab ride to the Ferry Terminal in Red Hook (car ferry also available), where a twenty minute voyage will deposit you in Cruz Bay, St John, only five miles away. St John is most famous for its series of white sand beaches, each more beautiful than the other, but it has also gained prominence for its artist population and its many unique shops.

The principle of the Wollaston camera lucida
Light from the viewed object is reflected twice as it passes through a prism, so the object is perceived by the eye as in nature, right side up. At the same time, the eye receives light directly from the drawing paper. Both objects are merged in the perception of the viewer, who sees an image of the viewed object superimposed on the drawing paper.

Skunks near city positive for rabies
WICHITA FALLS - Two skunks found near Wichita Falls, one southwest of the city and the other southeast, have tested positive for rabies.
Wichita Falls' Animal Services Center encourages all pet owners and residents to increase their awareness of the disease, according to a release from the city.
"Most wild animals are not infected with rabies but residents should always keep in mind that wild animals, by nature, are unpredictable and can carry disease," the release said. Any exposure to wild animals, alive or dead, in particularly bats, raccoons, skunks, coyotes and foxes (which are the top five carriers of the virus in Texas) should be avoided. "Children and pets should be watched closely while outdoors to ensure that they do not come in contact with or touch wild animals. If a wild animal strays onto your property bring children and pets indoors, alert anyone else who may be in the vicinity and let the animal wander away."
Animal Services urges anyone who observes a wild or domestic animal, active during the day, appearing sick, fearless or aggressive to contact Animal Control immediately at 761-7824. Do not attempt to capture or shoot the animal; it cannot be tested if shot in the head. Be aware that rabies can only be transmitted by saliva. Exposure may occur if scratched by an infected animal or whenever saliva enters an open cut or mucous membrane such as nose, mouth, eyes.

I will be bringing back some brewing supplies to China after my three week trip home over Christmas. I would like to bring back one vial of liquid yeast to complement the dry yeast I am bringing back; 1 packet Danstar American West Coast, 2 packets US-05, 2 packes S-04, 1 packet of Danstar Nottingham). We generally brew 5 - 6 times between New Years and June. What style yeast should I bring back to enhance this collection of dry yeasts? We generally brew pale ales and IPAs along with stouts and porters, so I am looking for something that will work with a large number of styles. Thanks.
White Labs... you might want to try an English strain to complement your selections.
Or if looking in a different direction I've had good results with white labs hefeweizen yeasts or a nice light summer beer from a cream ale blend
Beer Plus Science = .....Good!!!!! By: Adam Savage
I was thinking about one of the English strands as well. Any suggestions?
WLP004 (Irish Ale) is what I have been using for a number of beers. It ferments cooler than the British strains. With temperature control it yields nice results. Although you might want to go with WLP002 if your fermentation temps are a little higher. However, both of these are very close to the fermentist S-04 that you have. If it were me I would consider getting something a little different like a Saision yeast. WLP566 is what I have been using, but is seasonal, so it might be hard to find. WLP565 should be similar.
The 2nd edition is now available: Brewing Engineering Woodland Brewing Research Blog Applied Science for Better Beer.
Personally, I would avoid a hefe strain because they only handle short times between repitching. I wouldnt take an english strain, you already have nottingham. I would take an american strain, as I am not a big fan of 05. I have been a big fan of the san diego super yeast lately, and that would be my choice.
Thanks for the input guys. The goal is to wash some yeast and then freeze samples so I can grow a bank of available yeasts for over here. I like the idea of the 0004 Irish Ale strain. It breaks up the American and English strains that we normally work with.
If you ferment on the cooler side, 029 Kolsch yeast is a great strain.

Marin's jobless rate dropped in November by two-tenths of a percentage point to 4.6 percent from the October rate of 4.8 percent, according to data released Friday by the state Employment Development Department.
Marin continued to have the lowest jobless rate in California with 6,500 people unemployed in November. About 136,200 people in the county had jobs last month, with the majority of those employees working in San Rafael and Novato. Those cities also reported the largest numbers of unemployed people in the county, with 1,800 people without jobs in San Rafael and 1,500 people without work in Novato, according to non-seasonally adjusted data.
Jobless rates have improved in the county since November of last year when the jobless rate was 5.7 percent — 1.1 percentage points higher than this year's November rate. In the region including Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties, the overall jobless rate dropped two-tenths of a percentage point in November to 5 percent.
Robert Eyler, CEO of the Marin Economic Forum and a professor at Sonoma State University, said Marin is continuing to do well as the economy rebounds.
"This is the lowest unemployment rate Marin has been at since the recession began," Eyler said. "June 2008 was when it was at least this low or better."
As far as actual job numbers are concerned, Eyler said the numbers are back where they were in 2008.
"We're back almost where we were before the last boom cycle right at the end of the dot-com run," Eyler said.
The total number of jobs located in the West Bay counties of Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo increased by 5,400 to a little more than 1 million from October to November. Retail outlets added 3,700 jobs for the holiday shopping season, performing better than a prior 10-year average addition of 3,100 jobs between October and November.
Since November of last year, the number of jobs in the West Bay climbed by 24,500 positions, or 2.4 percent. Non-farm jobs in the private sector rose by 23,500 jobs, or 2.7 percent. During the year professional and business services saw the largest gain with 9,600 jobs followed by the leisure and hospitality industry with 6,700 more jobs, marking the industry's highest November total on record.
Racy Ming, Marin County workforce investment board director, said the outlook for Marin County in 2014 is positive.
"Things are trending in the right direction," Ming said. "It's been a good, solid trend of decreases. We've been seeing a good pattern for the last year."
Eyler agreed.
"Most counties in California will continue to grow in 2014 and potentially in 2015," he said.
Jobless rates have also improved statewide, with the statewide seasonally adjusted November rate ranking at 8.5 percent — down 1.4 percentage points from last year. The state's unemployment rate has fallen two-tenths of a percentage point since October. It had fallen to 8.5 percent in June before bouncing back up to 8.9 percent by August.
In the past year, payrolls in California have grown by 226,000 jobs, second behind Texas, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"We added a large number of jobs," said Irena Asmundson, chief economist at the state Department of Finance. "People are finding work."
California has added 903,000 jobs since February 2010, when the state employment department says the economic recovery began. Despite the gains, the state still exceeds the national unemployment rate, which dropped to 7.0 percent in November from 7.3 in October and 7.8 percent from the same time last year. Nearly 1.6 million people remained unemployed in the state last month, down 34,000 from October.

5 Game of the YearPosted: 09/12/2009One of the greatest games I have ever played, such a deep story that really grabs you and pulls you into the games world. It's based on reality and science, yet on myth and legend and makes you think if the two are intertwined somehow. A brilliant soundtrack does the game and its story every bit of justice, you really feel part of the past in Italy and all its stunning settings. A fantastic ending that sets the 3rd up perfectly, the best credits ever seen in a game too. Leaps and bounds better than the first, I can really see this series going far. DLC is also available sometime early next year. Well done Ubisoft. You have to buy this game.
4 Halo Wars (Xbox 360)Posted: 26/03/2009The Good - Great Halo world feel. Best CGI I've seen in a game, absolutely stunning. Smooth learning curve. Most fun I've had on Xbox Live in a fair while.The Bad - Campaign's a tad short and leaves you wanting more. Multiplayer points/ranking system rather strange. Can get repetitive. Population cap could have been slightly higher.Story 7.5The story is set before the events of Halo 1, which is a nice flipside of the timeline FPS Halo games follow. This means that there are far more Spartans this time round. It's also pretty cool for anyone who has read some of the Halo books as there are tons of plot line references that coincide to make a pretty solid story, trouble is it's not a long one. CGI is one of the best parts of playing the campaign mode because every so often you are treated to a superb cut scene which makes finishing that mission that little bit more rewarding. There's about 12 hours to it, my advice is you should play it on heroic or you'll breeze through it.Gameplay 8.0RTS's have never faired too well on the console, I never usually go near them but this one has pulled it off very well. It's traded detail for simplicity and it's been done very well. You'll find yourself starting to do things almost automatically after a short time and I experienced zero frustration whilst moving mass units or micro managing others. The tutorials provided are a good way to set you off, playing a few heroic skirmishes against the CPU will also teach you a few things. Multiplayer IMO is the best part of the game play. Nothing beats you and two friends totally rampaging through 8 enemy bases with a mass army, it's pretty fun.Graphics 8.0As said before the CGI in this game is truly wonderful and it's a shame that this makes the in game graphics look a tad dated, even though they are still pretty good. Don't zoom in too much on flying units either because they look awful close up. Overall though the graphics are fine, nothing wrong with them, it's just the game play visuals have got fierce competition with the CGI visuals. The Frame rate also holds pretty well, the only dips I experienced were in 3V3 with about 300 models on screen, so it's pretty impressive.Sound 10.0It's Halo VS RTS themed music, and it's epic. Also considering the music composer isn't Marty O' Donell (Bungie's soundtrack man) the feel of the tracks is dead on.Overall 8.3Great game and worth a buy, especially if you're a Halo fan. If you're not it's still worth a pick up because it's a solid game that has been made very well. Just don't expect too much storyline from it.

I have a few potted Columbine plants that have grown from seeds that wife harvested from last year's flowers. The plants are doing great, large leaves and lush. However, they are not flowering. I am in Zone 9B, and most Columbines that were sold at the stores and nurseries are now almost finishing up because the temperatures are getting a little too hot. Can you please direct me on how to force these Columbine plants of mine to start flowering? Thank you for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Healthy plants should be your goal, there is no way to rush them. There are many columbine/aquilegia, perennial although somewhat short lived. Most won't bloom their first year from seed, that display will take place next season. |
Thank you morz for your comments. The intense summer heat of our Zone 9B weakens the Columbines plants to the extent that they died last year. I was surprised because I thought Columbines are perennials. I hope these can survive and delight us with their beautiful flowers next year. |
I do not grow my Columbines in the full sun. Mine reseed and are beautiful under the canopy of tall trees. Al |
- Posted by luvahydrangea Albany NY 5 (email@example.com) on Tue, May 3, 11 at 17:29
Maybe its too hot for them where you have them? I dunno, columbines are native plants, I see them all the time when I'm out hiking and their pretty much always in partial sun to shady areas. |
I am in Zone 9B and they are in my covered patio. The Columbines get some morning sun only. However, it really gets hot out here in the summer, in the 100's. |
- Posted by amberlind(email@example.com) onWed, May 11, 11 at 3:52
i live in zone 4. i started 12 from seed indoors. only 2 sprouted. they are so tiny that i worry about transplanting them outside & this is my first attempt. is partial sun best & will they make it over the long cold winter? |
Columbine from seed do not flower the first year. They definitely prefer shade in the summer. Mine are in a bed under trees. they get spring sun, but when the trees leaf out most are in total shade. There are a few threads in Cottage Gardens that are focused on Columbine. I started growing them from seed a few years ago, planted out at least 20 tiny little seedlings the first year that didnt do much, but all came back gangbusters the following year, and flowered like crazy. Mine get some insect damage and the foliage gets ratty looking as they finish flowering at the end of June. I cut them back to the ground and they re-grow through the summer. They are short lived plants, often only 2-3 years, so I am now growing a few from seed every year to keep the cycle going. They self-seed for many people, but dont seem to do that very often for me. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Columbine thread
"Columbine from seed do not flower the first year" I have been unable to find confirmation of that statement. Having grown Aquilegea for many years I would think I would have noticed that. Please supply a reference for confirmation. Al |
Al, there are dozens of species of aquilegia, we don't know which you are growing. I've taken out all but a. longissima and a. laramiensis, hoping to eliminate some of the cross pollination that seems to result in seedlings of the same blue/purple - but may be a lost cause with neighbors growing those :) Neither of the two will bloom first year. If you search 'aquilegia bloom first year' you'll come up with several supporting articles. You'll find mention of some of the newer introductions that do bloom first year, but most of the varieties do not....or at least do not in my climate. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Here's one:
Thank you morz8 for the link. An area of my garden has been growing Columbine continuously for over 10 years with no help from me. I enjoyed reading the link and have seedlings now about a foot high in another garden, and will be disappointed if they do not flower this year. Al |
I shouldn't have stated that so definitively - sorry. None of the columbine that I have grown from seed flowered until the 2nd year, and from what I have read, that is the usual. If you are getting blooms the first year, more power to ya! |

Ellen Page To Play Gun-Toting Superspy in the Decidedly Non-Indie 'Queen & Country'
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on September 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentSlowly but surely, Ellen Page is edging her way towards becoming a bona fide action star. First she phased through a wall or two as Kitty Pryde in X-Men: The Last Stand (and almost starred in a Pryde spin-off with the rest of Juno's creative team). She gleefully hacked and slashed her way through Super with a pair of Wolverine-style claws, and she'll be sending Wolverine himself back to the seventies in next summer's X-Men: Days of Future Past.
