17 Streaming Movies to Watch This Week
Features By Brian Kelley on July 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe beginning of each month is an exciting time wherein Netflix dumps a large number of new titles onto their streaming service. Comb through those titles as well as others added in the past couple of weeks, and a few great titles bubble to the surface. Let's take a look at a documentary about urban design, a drama about adolescent sexual identity, an existential Western from the vaults, and a few more movies worth streaming this week.
Once in a while a film gets released in theaters that's so big other movies go out of their way to avoid coming out on the same weekend. The same thing happens on Tuesday's with DVD releases where you'll notice one major title alongside several films you've probably never heard of before. This week that major title is… Scouts Honor: Badge To the Bone. Other titles out this week include Christopher Nolan's conversation starter Inception, Shrek Forever After, two Roger Corman releases about memorable ladies with guns, a renamed Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre, and more.

About three years ago, on the side of my yard was a small plant growing. I don't know how it got there. It was no more than four inches in height. it looked like a citrus so I left it there. Fast forward three years and that plant has grown to about ten feet tall. I have never watered it. It was thriving on complete neglect. And now it gave me blooms. Even though it's winter, here in southern California, we've been having an unusually warm winter. |

Leaves look like kumquat blooms looks like orange or lemon. |

Sometimes if you smell a leaf it will give you a clue. Lemon leaves smell lemony. I have two mystery oranges (I think) we rescued on this neglected property we bought. They are both finally blooming, but are grafted trees, not seedlings like yours. It's fun to watch the mystery unfold. I hope they are something not Valencia because we brought a Valencia with us and it is blooming also. I see no difference in the blooms. Bring on the OJ! I'll be asking for ID once the fruit ripens.

If an unknown tree has a graft and the tree is growing from branches above the graft, you can be fairly sure it is a commercially produced tree. That should mean it is a fairly normal variety. If you want to chase that down, you can use the info here: http://idtools.org/id/citrus/citrusid/ If it is growing from a seed then there are lots more possibilities. Some varieties grow true to type, which means the seed will grow the same fruit as the parent. Some will be crosses. Some grow some of each. If the flower petals are really purple like they look in the picture, it is probably a lemon. The most common lemons grow true to type, I think. However, they take a long time to bear fruit when grown that way. The new fruit in the flower is probably the first one for that plant. It is a neat experiment to let them grow. In any case, you are much more likely to be happy with the fruit of a lemon grown from seed than most other citrus grown from seed. |
I know this is late. My apologies. The plant grew out of nowhere. I tried to take the best picture but it was a challenge with the winds present. As you can see it's very shrubby. No graft. Sorry I don't know how to rotate the image. |
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Mon, Mar 17, 14 at 14:36
Well, hard to say what it is. Let the fruit mature and see what develops. It could be a chance seedling, or, it could be a grafted tree that was close to death that has come back. Doesn't look like rootstock, but it could be. You'll know for sure by the fruit it bears. Does not look like a kumquat tree - leaves are too long and lanceolate shaped. Looks more like an orange tree to me, or possibly sour orange (rootstock). Guessing you took this photo with an iPhone, as the iPhone "remembers" it's orientation, and you took the photo with the phone in the "tall" or portrait position. You need to take your photos in the sideways or landscape position, with your volume buttons facing downward. Or, take these mis-oriented photos into a photo editing software, and change their orientation and save. Oh, and this is the normal time for citrus to bloom here in S. California. You'll see blooms starting as early as January, through March/April for most citrus cultivars. Lemons and sometimes limes (mainly Bearss) will have more than one bloom cycle, almost all year off and on for Improved Meyer lemons, in fact. Patty S. |

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
With our first 2 après ski guides now out of date AJ Johnson, Iglu's Director of Sales, and resident après ski Black-Belt, has updated our best après ski destinations for 2014/15. Après ski is now as important as the skiing for UK skiers and riders. Those hectic (or chilled) hours between 3.30pm and 6.00pm when you celebrate a day of great skiing with your mates while still in your ski gear and often still up on the slopes can make or break your trip. The level of après ski is the most common question we get about resorts and I happen to agree that it is an essential part of my ski experience. I may not want to party every afternoon, but when I do, I want very good music, cold beers and cheap shooters, plenty of room to dance, and the option of a sunny terrace. If it's inclement weather then an indoor area with strong tables for dancing on with ski-boots and lots of alpine memorabilia and style will do. The resort Councils also realise the importance of après ski to the UK market and last year Alpe d'Huez warmly welcomed Folie Douce with their 4th Franchise to great success and the brand keeps going from strength to strength.
The highest party town in the Alps
For a long time VT has been considered the poor cousin of its neighbours in upmarket Méribel and super expensive Courchevel but recent years have seen a transformation into a more mid-range resort. There are still the cheap and tiny apartments available but now there is a 5 star Hotel, some top quality chalets, upmarket self-catered apartments and this year sees Club Med launch their newest village right in the centre of town. We'll be there for an early season ski in December. It's a great resort for early or late snow due to its height. The Folie Douce here is just above the town so everyone gets to do a short ski back down on wobbly legs. It's smaller than the rest of the Folies as it was not built to purpose but a restaurant taken over. I think it has a charm which puts it among the finest après bars in the Tarentaise Vallée.
Down in town there are more bars than you can visit in a night and the après starts early. The Frog and Roast Beef is the highest pub in Europe and draws a UK crowd. The Saloon bar is the Seasonaires favourite and is the rowdiest and most fun bar on the strip if you can take the crowds. VT is also home to the largest nightclub in the Alps in Malaysia, it may be cavernous but it fills up late and rocks all night. The place to stay – The New Val Thorens Club Med Sensations is going to be brilliant.
24/7 Ibiza (budget) Party Town
This big resort in the Grand Rouses mountain range has long been a favourite with the young hip crowd and offers an amazingly long season due to the huge glacier. It has a direct link access to the legendary La Grave free-ride resort, the best Terrain Park in Europe, and summer skiing. There are 45 bars along the main drag and 8 night-clubs. That's not much less than the entire Trois Vallées and more than Val d'Isére and Tignes added together. On the slopes there is the amazing and huge PANO BAR that gives the 4 Folie Douces a run for their money. The beats are a bit dancier and recognisable and the crowd a little less reserved. After your Pano après session there are a series of bars at the foot of the slopes worth visiting. Just a little warning, the last run in to the resort called the Valentin is a serious run. Download on the Jandri Gondola if you've over-cooked it on Jaeger-Bombs. This direct Gondola access means injured or non-skiing friends can join you for lunch and après every day. At the foot of the slopes I like the Umbrella bar. The giant Umbrella can be closed for really cold days and opened for the sunny ones.
Ski Hard, Party Harder
St Anton is still the best of Austria but it is perhaps too popular and the famous piste-side bars are uncomfortably jammed to overflowing with plastered Brits, Dutch and Germans. It has fantastic off-piste routes like the Valluga and brings a lot of the best skiers in the world to party. It also claims to have the oldest ski school in the world and this brings a constant flow of new skiers and boarders to the noisiest après ski bars in Austria. I love the place and I've had some of my best après ski moments in The Krazy Kangaruh. Directly across the piste from the KK the Mooserwirt starts the party with 'The Final Countdown' at 3pm and then cranks out loud Austro/German pop and gets the crowd into a table dancing frenzy. They probably make the strongest tables in the World in the Arlberg region! Just seeing the beer servers who carry up to 30 full size drinks on doubled up trays is worth the trip. Those guys are seriously strong. This is a bit off subject but for Lunch on the mountain you must visit the Hospiz Alm down in St Christoph. It is easily the best on-mountain restaurant in the Arlberg region and has well-priced daily specials. You are served by staff in traditional lederhosen and there's a great slide down to the loos inside. I can also highly recommend the Heustadl for live music on the slopes. It's in a perfect suntrap just before you get to the KK on the skiers left. Recommended Hotel in St. Anton: The Nassereinerhof Every Austrian resort provides good après ski bars and special mentions go out to the resorts of Saalbach, Sölden, and Soll. They all deserve a visit that you'll never forget.
Posh But Fun
Let's get the hard bit out of the way first, it's expensive. The Swiss Franc is on a roll right now and until it gets back to reasonable levels against the £ your après sessions are going bite like a Nile crocodile. Do as seasonaires do and follow the happy hours around the village. No visit to Verbier is complete without a session or two in the Pub Mont Fort, but my favourite is the Farinet Bar — with its sliding roof that opens to let the steam out when the party gets too hot. It's an experience to remember when they open the roof when it's snowing and you're dancing to a Swedish cover band that is leading the shot taking between songs. Why is it that the Swedes seem to have an impossibly good looking cover band in every decent resort in Europe? I suspect it's because the band members are chasing the best snow, just like you and me. Recommended chalet hotel in Verbier: Chalet Hotel De Verbier.
Glamorous and expensive, and worth every penny
VD is IGLU's number 1 resort for sales and for staff love. We can't get enough of it. The skiing in the Espace Killy (the area linked with Tignes) offers more easily accessible variety than any other in Europe. It has a very long season because it catches the storms as they hit the end of the Tarentaise Valley at the border with Italy. But what really sets it apart is the number of high quality bars on-piste and off. The original Folie Douce has got its Mojo back after a couple of experimental years and now offers a great afternoon's entertainment. The price of a large beer has stayed at 7€ which a few years ago seemed expensive but now matches up with most bars in the Alps. Kelly Starlight still leads the entertainment but has toned down the cabaret aspect in favour of more DJ inspired singing and dancing. There are countless bars in town like the Petit Danois (après drink deals and 2 pool tables), The Morris bar, The Underground (very French), Victors (241 cocktails), and Bar La Rosee (nice terrace) in La Daille. The 2 biggest nightclubs are the legendary original Dicks Tea Bar with a mainly UK crowd and Doudoune for a French crowd (and corresponding appalling music). I could name another 20 bars but the names don't really matter. You will never be more than a few metres from a party in this premier resort of France. Recommended Chalet in Val d'Isére: Chalet Yeti - get in early as it's sold out by November.
Cheap & Cheerful
Over the last few years the rise and rise of the € against £ has hurt our back pockets during the après ski hours, particularly in the UK customer dominated über-resorts of the Tarentaise Vallée. For this reason a lot of my friends have starting heading to Alpe d'Huez. In this resort the cost of a sérieux will only be around €4.50. You always pay over €6 and probably much higher in Val d'Isére or Méribel. There's loads of bars here to try, but no pub crawl would be complete without visiting O'Sharkeys, Smithy's, The Crowded House, and of course you must try the slide at Freeride. If you want to stay up until the sun rises then you'll be at the Igloo bar that gets crazier and crazier all the way until the 6am closing time. This resort is now the most fun in France, it's just a damned shame it's a bit ugly. The skiing here is up there with the best and the 16km La Sarenne black run of the back of Pic Blanc down to Vaujany is world class. Personally I prefer the thrills and spills of the un-pisted Itinerary route through the famous tunnel. Not for beginners! Recommended chalet in Alpe d'Huez: Chalet Friandise – a little beauty.
Upmarket 24/7 Party Town
Okay, it's not cheap compared to other Austrian resorts but it's still better value than the big resorts of France and Switzerland. The Trofana Alm stakes a claim for the best après ski bar in the world. It encompasses everything you'd expect from that title. Classic Tyrolean décor, cheesy sing-along songs with silly dances that get everyone involved. Fantastic service from immensely strong waiters, carrying trays of beer and shots for you to choose from are never more than a few minutes away from another visit. The Schatzi Bar offers the added bonus of traditional bar top dancing girls and more modern music. I'd also throw in a vote for the Kuhstall, that plays more English music and fills to the brim with the younger crowd, jumping in their boots to the latest hits.
Tax Free Party Haven
Livigno is a shopper's paradise as well as an après ski mecca. It has around 150 bars, which dwarfs any other ski resort in the world — I think Vail is second with 110. Livigno has belonged to numerous countries and empires over the centuries and now has a distinctly Austrian flavour to it. The Kuhstall, Mikey's Pub, Gulliver Pub, the Echo Pub, and for cocktails, Jpioca, are all recommended.
Here's my top tip for Livigno and this one really will pay off. Right in the centre of the pedestrianised area of Livigno is a bar with a unique drawcard. The Baita Del Ghet offers every customer their 1st drink free. That's every time you go there. Unsurprisingly it is extremely popular and worth heading to early. It has great food and it's where the locals go with their families and dogs as well.
This resort has so many bars to offer, that there really isn't much to say other than I bet you can't visit them all. Recommended hotel in Livigno: Hotel Valeria. Italian resorts tend to be a bit more sophisticated and calmer during the après ski hours, but there are some pretty good traditionally loud and riotous gems to be found in the resorts of Cervinia and Selva.
There's nothing better than carving up the mountain with the sun beating down on your back. You don't have to cart around lots of layers, you can sunbathe in between ski runs and you'll have that special code worn only by fellow skiers and boarders – a cracking goggle tan so that everyone knows you've just returned fresh from the slopes!
More sunshine = longer days = lifts are open longer = more time out in the snow! Do we need to say any more?
As the Summer months draw nearer, the slopes become quieter and quieter. Airport transfers become much smoother and faster, there's smaller queues everywhere, you don't have to worry about busy restaurants and you have more time to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views, rather than rushing to be first on the lifts. You'll find that there's much more space on the pistes - plus on a powder day you'll be able to ski more fresh laps. It's also a great time to bring along the kids and those who are just learning – they can focus more on their riding and less on trying to dodge others!
As the slopes get emptier, the prices get cheaper, meaning that a last minute ski holiday is a great way to save the pennies. You'll have a bigger choice of accommodation too, as Chalets and ski in / ski out accommodation won't sell out quite so fast. If you're looking to squeeze in your second holiday of the season without using up all of your budget, then now's the time.
Experience some top après as resort bars aim to drink dry the last of their stock, ready to close down for the Summer. You'll find plenty of closing celebrations at just about every resort with live music, BBQ's and of course, snow – a perfect combination! The end of season also brings along a lot of festivals, such as Snowbombing and Zermatt Unplugged (see our events guide to what's on in the mountains this month here).
Take an uphill gondola ride to this traditional Austrian cabin, which boasts spectacular mountain views. Enjoy a delicious fondue or a tasty gourmet dish plus a welcome drink whilst listening to the live music entertainment by the roaring fire. Hut evenings are held every Wednesday from 6.30pm until 10.30pm and must be booked in advance.

Mike Tyers from the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada and colleagues from other institutions in Canada and the USA, read over 30,000 publications on S. cerevisiae and recorded over 22,000 protein interactions and over 11,000 genetic interactions. Surprisingly, Tyers and colleagues found less than 20% overlap between their literature dataset and the datasets generated using high-throughput methods for interaction detection, indicating that many more interactions are likely to be discovered.
Tyers and colleagues' database will enable researchers to gain further insight into individual gene functions and biological network features in yeast, and by extension other species including humans. Their study also shows that it is possible to search and sort a large amount of existing knowledge from the literature within a relatively short time frame. This approach could be applied to other organisms, from E. Coli to humans.
The literature interaction dataset is publicly available at the BioGRID database (http://thebiogrid.org/) and at the Saccharomyces Genome Database (http://www.yeastgenome.org/).

A Sand Moment
By Jojo
from Minnesota
We used the white sand for the bottom 1.5" of a 6" X 10" cylinder vase with a weighted rose on top of the sand and a floating candle on top of the water. The sand stayed compacted while we poured the water in carefully along the inside edge of the cylinder with very little floaters rising to the top. Do not put in the water first and then the sand as the water gets dispersed into the sand and it will look like little globs. I would use this product again for creating centerpieces.
Sand and wood combination
By Coach44

I used the sand to make an inlay in a tray. The tray was oak with a center circle cut into it. Inside the circle was the yellow sand with a walnut cutout of a wolf. This gave the appearance of a wolf howling at the moon. Very nice.

Hosa Technology, the leading innovator of analog and digital connectivity solutions for the modern musician and audio/video professional, and distributor of Da-Cappo Micro Microphones throughout the Americas, is pleased to announce the introduction of Da-Cappo's new DA07 Dual Folding Ear Micro Microphone. Featuring an advanced capsule that delivers superior audio quality and a highly adjustable, comfortable, dual folding earpiece design, the new DA07 is an ideal choice for today's on-stage and on-air talent.
Central to any microphone's feature set is its capsule, and this is among the new DA07's finest attributes. Utilizing a European designed 2.5 mm diameter capsule, this Omni directional microphone delivers extremely natural sounding, full 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response with a rich low end, articulate midrange, and pristine, high frequency performance. The DA07's capsule also provides superb EMI (electro-magnetic interference) protection. With flat frequency response across the microphone's entire operating range, the DA07 delivers natural sounding, clear audio performance. The DA07 is available in two sensitivities: standard and -10 dB for broadcast applications.
For anyone who wears an over-the-ear type microphone for their work, comfort is an important consideration and, again, the new DA07 excels. The DA07's soft, comfort-fit silicone ear cushion incorporates a flexible, sprung steel mechanism that can easily be adjusted to fit a wide range of ear sizes. Performers need to simply bend or stretch the curvature to obtain the perfect fit. In addition, the DA07 features an adjustable boom that slides back and forth, thus making it easy to position the microphone for the best possible audio results.
Da-Cappo's DA07 Dual Folding Ear Micro Microphone's capsule is also water resistant and incorporates a protective sweat ring on the boom that provides moisture protection. The DA07's capsule is impervious to perspiration or rain—making these microphones ideal for performers and broadcasters who, for example, must routinely endure the heat generated by stage lighting systems.
The DA07 is available in four colors—beige, black, coffee, and white—enabling the microphone to blend seamlessly against a performer's skin tone. Further, with its flat folding design, the DA07 stores conveniently.
Jonathan Pusey, Hosa Technology's National Marketing Manager, commented on the new Da-Cappo DA07 Dual Folding Ear Micro Microphone. "The DA07 features Da-Cappo's unique, Euro-designed capsule, which not only delivers stellar audio performance, but adds greater versatility by being water resistant. Hence, it is able to withstand perspiration and other forms of moisture. The DA07 is also highly adjustable and extremely comfortable, enabling performers to wear the mic for extended periods and obtain maximum sonic performance in the process. Combined with its flat folding design for convenient storage, I'm confident prospective customers of all persuasions will find much to like about the DA07."
The DA07 ships in a protective leatherette pouch that contains the microphone, a cable, a cable clip, and a wind sock. A wireless adaptor is sold separately. MSRP for the DA07 Dual Folding Ear Micro Microphone is $530 ($539 for the -10 dB version). The DA07 is available now.
These are my comments.

There's a new industry-run mailing list [1] to foster discussion of
security issues on SCADA systems -- the aging and insecure computerized
control networks behind the electric grid and other critical
infrastructures. But watch what you say.
From the announcement e-mail [2]:
Due to heightened security and awareness levels worldwide, ALL
MESSAGES ARE WATCHED CAREFULLY. Violators who report methods that
are going to disable, damage, dismember, destroy, or disarm any
control system, SCADA device, or infrastructure will be reported to
DHS (and/or their respective national or federal authority).
Only the SCADA community could conceive of a mailing list that tries to
get you arrested for discussing security issues. And we wonder why SCADA
is still insecure.

Justice Gitesh Ranjan Bhattacharya of Calcutta high court will probe the death of former BDO Kallol Sur. His body was found hanging in his quarters in April 2008 and it had been alleged that it was not a case of suicide. Justice Nikhil Nath Bhattacharya will be probing the death of 23 tribals when a truck rammed into a Hool festival rally at Chandrakona in West Midnapore.KOLKATA: Come November and five judicial commissions will start probing into five controversial incidents that took place in the state during the past four decades.
The commissions will probe murder of Sain brothers of Burdwan, Cossipore murders, firing on Congress workers on July 21, 1993. The mysterious death of WBCS officer Kallol Sur and death of 23 tribals would also be probed by a one-member judicial panel. However, CPM is trying to stall the functioning of Sain Bari Commission.
Justice Arunabha Basu will be heading the panel probing into the Sain Bari killings. The accused in the case included former minister Nirupam Sen and several other CPM leaders. The case is likely to be reopened once the commission sends its recommendation to the government an officer said.
The case had earlier been withdrawn in the trial stage, law minister Malay Ghatak said. asMamata Banerjee had made the Sain killings a poll agenda and accordingly the judicial commission had been formed,a? Ghatak said.
Malay Sain and Pranab Sain, along with a family tutor Jiten Roy were murdered allegedly by CPM leaders on March 17, 1970. Justice Tarapada Mukherjee Commission, set up by former chief minister Siddhartha Shankar Ray in 1973, had probed the killings. But the commission in its report did not name any CPM leader as accused. After the Left Front government assumed power in 1977, all the accused were relieved of the charges. CPM leaders are seeing it an attempt to malign them by Trinamool government.
Earlier in 2008, All India Legal Aid Forum's Jaydeep Mukherjee had filed a writ petition under Article 32 demanding reconstruction of the file of the Sain murder, as previous files related to the case had been damaged. The case is still now pending in the Supreme Court.
The CPM is likely to move the SC against the Justice Arunabha Basu Commission, as the case is yet to be settled in the apex court. Because a case cannot be heard both in the SC and by the judicial commission.
Justice A K Bishi will be probing the Cossipore murders. Many people had been killed in North Kolkataas Cossipore-Baranagar belt between August 12 and August 14, 1971. Justice Susanta Kumar Chatterjee, former chief justice of Orissa high court will be probing the July 21 incident in which 13 Youth Congress supporters were killed in police firing. The senior police officers who had ordered the firing and their role during the incident are going to be probed.
Ghatak said the commissions will work from Council House Street, where a court room is being formed for this. He said that the same court room will be used for hearing of multiple commissions, as an austerity measure. The minister hoped that the commissions will be able to submit their reports within a year.
The notifications for the new commissions will be published soon, so the law and judicial department officials are supervising early set up of the court room. Moreover, for the commissions to function, the government is also looking for office space for the judges.

Mass Effect is one of the greatest series of this console generation – in the top three, easily. But even our dearest loved ones get on our nerves from time to time, like when they make you take really slow elevator rides, or clutter the whole house with piles of tedious inventory. It's better to get these things off your chest from time to time, rather than let everything build up, so here are our five biggest grievances with our dearly beloved space opera. We hate because we love.
1. The suicide mission
So, the end of Mass Effect 2 is quite cool and cinematic. What's not cool though, is the stringent and obtuse rules that govern who survives and who dies. First, if you don't go directly to through the Omega 4 relay to the Collector base after obtaining the Reaper IFF, a huge chunk of your crew (non-squadmate) will die, and although the dialogue hints at the urgency of your mission, there's nothing that explicitly indicates the consequences if you decide to wrap up any outstanding missions before continuing through the relay. Seasoned gamers are used to ignoring the disconnect between the urgency of the narrative and the reality of being able to dick around until you actually select the mission to continue, and it's easy to mistake that to be the case here.
Above: "I died because I was so distracted thinking about how we didn't finish our chit chat. derp" -Legion
Furthermore, even completing each character's loyalty mission doesn't ensure they'll survive the assault on the Collector base, even if you select the correct person for each task. For example, I sent my loyal Legion into the vents as the tech specialist, but he kept getting killed and I couldn't figure out why. Turns out there was a dialogue option I had missed while talking to Legion after his loyal mission, and only after exhausting all options for post-mission small talk did he manage to make it through the mission. Would a robot's performance really hinge on whether or not you talked about his feelings beforehand?
2. The Mako
It's like BioWare designed the Mako's handling and controls to be as annoying as possible, and then designed the terrain of each planet to play off that shittiness for maximum frustration. The thing handles like it weighs less than a pound – and don't blame the planets' respective gravities, because it doesn't seem to affect Shepard when he's outside the vehicle. A Schwinn cruiser handles rocks better than the Mako – if a single tire hits any minute irregularity in the terrain, the whole thing flips on its back like a goddamn turtle.
And why do the shields take so long to recharge, even with squadmates with maxed out tech on board? Throughout the course of the game you could practically read an entire Mass Effect novelization during the time you're forced to spend waiting for your shields to charge (seriously, you should have a book handy).
3. Mining
"Oh, you hated the Mako? So you hate exploring awesome alien landscapes? You hate seeing the breathtaking majesty of all the horizons in the galaxy? Here, have this shitty minigame instead then, you little shits."
–Some asshole at BioWare
4. Forced flirting
Above: Yuko of Johnny Wander sums it up perfectly
Nothing says romance like having it shoved in your face with the force of a thousand clueless pick-up artists. It's painfully obvious who the "canon" romance options are in both ME1 and ME2, and the dialogue becomes so ridiculous that it's impossible to take seriously. As female Shepard, say anything remotely friendly to Kaiden or Jacob, such as "hey buddy, I don't want anyone on my crew to die, and that includes you I guess" and they respond saying they're "flattered" and would be totally interested in sexing you up too. What the!? If you're playing paragon, it's impossible to avoid their advances, and often the dialogue wheel does nothing to warn you that you're about to enter the sexytime talk zone.
And speaking of romance…
5. Only girls can be gay in space?
Yeah, yeah, asaris are technically mono-gendered, but let's be real – anatomically speaking, they're indistinguishable from blue-skinned human women except for their tentacle-esque hair. Even the Galactic Codex: Essentials Edition 2183 (included with the collector's edition of Mass Effect) states that "while asari have only one gender, they are not asexual like single-celled life—all asari are sexually female."
Above: One man, one woman
Even in Mass Effect 2's expanded smorgasbord of intergalactic romance options, which includes no less than three girl-on-girl options, there isn't a single option for male Shepard to romance another dude. And even then, it's still a step back from the first game, because all three girl-girl hook-ups are confined to side romances – all six main romance options are hetero, whereas at least in one you could have a main girl-girl romance with Liara. Despite the tastefulness of each romance's presentation, the one-sidedness of boy-girl or girl-girl only options makes it feel suspiciously like a skeevy attempt to titillate straight male gamers as opposed to actually being inclusive to girls who like girls. Why even include girl-girl options if you're not going to include boy-boy options too?
We can only hope, given BioWare's inclusive stance on the romance options of Dragon Age 2, that Mass Effect 3 will include a romance option for people who want to play as a gay male Shepard too.

Atmospheric RefractionAs with visible light waves, radio waves must equal a critical angle in order to be transmitted between regions of different refractive indices. When less than the critical angle is experienced, the waves are bent at the interface back into the medium from which they originate. In the case of an abrupt interface like air and water in a glass, the bending is equally abrupt. Layers of the atmosphere present a much more gradual interface so the reflection tends to exhibit a more curved shape. This image shows the familiar pencil in a glass of water

NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING: Wednesday January 18, 2006 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., Burton M. Cross Building, Conference Room 105
1. Committee Reports
Policy & Marketing – Marilyn Lutz
Marilyn reported on the status of the GeoLibrary brochure. An artist has been selected and has designed the brochure in the form of a poster. He will be using the graphic design in conjunction with the list of departments that use GIS. He will deliver a proof electronically to Marilyn and Marilyn will send out to the Board for their review/comments. The final product will be available in mid January. The vehicle for paying the work done on the poster will be accomplished by setting up a small contract for the amount not to exceed $5,000.00.
Marilyn noted the Policy team had not been brought together to work on the "Policy for Acceptance of Data Sets from Outside Vendors". She will send the draft policy to the team and bring back to the Board at the January 18th meeting.
Finance – Jim Page
An updated "Bond Expenditures Report" was distributed for review. Jim reviewed the report with the Board members noting that the $5,000.00 for the GeoLibrary poster needs to be deducted from the bond funds remaining.
A request for $10,000 from the bonds fund remaining to jump start a project on conservation land was discussed. Liz noted that SPO has applied for a grant via NOA to help the state move forward to complete and update work on conservation land. She noted the $10,000 from the GeoLibrary would help jump start the process.
Liz commented the state conservation land area project is dormant, is in better shape but is missing a lot of pieces. The work that needs to be done is pulling the materials on properties and ROWs that are in file cabinets in order to complete the conservation land layer. The state does not know what it really has. We need to update the layers. We also need to work on developing a cooperative agreement to manage the data layers and develop a template to keep the conversation lands updated. The hard part is going back in time and picking up what is not in digital format. We'll need to have the Departments of Conservation and Inland Fisheries & Wildlife work with us to bring those parcels to life and put them into the database.
Jim asked, as a way of moving forward to write up a paragraph on the bond piece for support of conservation land. Barbara has this information and will send it to Jim. This same information needs to be structured and sent to the Technical Committee for review and bring back to the Board.
Another funding request not to exceed $10,000.00 was brought before the Board for a Project Manager for the Geo portal project. Will Mitchell discussed with the Board members the meeting that was held with Dick Thompson and other GeoLibrary Board members to get a better perspective of Dick's view. Dick confirmed OIT will indeed provide the hosting environment and the portal application will be hosted at OIT. Dick will also provide some administration support for the time being but will need to be revisited later. The $10,000 would be to contract with Dan and MeGIS to hire Bob Bistrais as the Project Manager. The funding request is for time and materials up to $10,000 for project management of the GEO portal.
David noted this was a task that has to be accomplished and not an overhead charge. A question was asked if Bob has the skills with a response of yes. Will noted this project was less GIS specific in nature.
The Board has come to the realization there is a cost for managing projects. How we managed in the future will be an expense going forward. However, 5% of bond expenses are allowed for items such as this.
Another question raised was the estimate of time required for what needs to be done. Dan noted 2-3 weeks of staff work. In concluding this discussion, Will made a motion to authorize up to $10,000 for project management for the Geo portal, the motion was seconded by Paul. The Board members voted unanimously to approve funding, not to exceed $10,000.00, for Geo portal project management.
2. Approval of the November 16 minutes
The next item voted on was the minutes of the November 16, 2005 GeoLibrary Board meeting. Marilyn made a motion to accept the minutes as written, Liz seconded and Board members voted unanimously to approve the minutes as written.
Jim asked Dan to adjust the Bond Expenditures report with the $5,000.00 for the GeoLibrary poster and the $10,000.00 for the project manager on the Geo portal project.
Technical Committee – Will Mitchell
Will did not have much to report on the Geo portal accept that we do know where it will live, how it will be implemented and supported, and that the contract should be finalized and signed by January 1, 2006. A kickoff meeting will be scheduled to review requirements and get started. We are establishing a platform for registry and discovery. Once the platform is in place we need to contact folks to publish their materials (metadata).
Orthoimagery Project & Parcel Grants – Dan Walters
Orthoimagery Report to the GeoLibrary Board December 14, 2005
The original schedule for delivery was to begin September 30, 2005, and then was postponed to begin November 21, 2005. Dan has now been informed that priority areas 1 & 2 were delivered to the USGS on December 2, 2005, the delay being blamed on technical problems. The USGS contact says that the USGS review usually takes about 60 days. Being optimistic that USGS can do both in-hand batches in 60 days and that the contractor can get somewhere near back on the original schedule of deliveries to USGS, his new estimate for deliveries is: Priorities 1 & 2 by Jan. 30, 2006 – Priority 3 by Mar. 1, 2006 – Priority 4 by Apr. 1 2006, Priority 5 by May 1, 2006 – Priority 6 by Jun. 1, 2006 – Priority 7 by Jul. 1, 2006 and Priority 8 by Aug. 1, 2006. He has made up a new graphic to reflect this and copies are in the handout packs.
Parcel Data
Existing parcel data collected under contract has been loaded onto the Oracle servers, has full FGDC metadata and is, insofar as Dan is aware, available to state agencies subject to permissions settings by the SDE administrator. The next plan is to either add the parcel data directly to the current orthoimagery IMS site or make a duplicate of that site minus the orthos and serve the parcel data on that.
The Review Committee met Dec. 1st to begin reviewing proposals from the latest request for proposals for parcel grants. The committee reviewed some proposals as a group and then broke to review the proposals individually. The committee will meet again the week of January 9th to tabulate and average the individual scores and formulate recommendations. The committee's recommendations on awards will be ready for the January 18th meeting of the Board.
On the new grant program, 40 grant proposals have been received, they will be reviewed and scored and will report back to the Board members at the January meeting.
Consultant Services/County Commissioners – Dan
The December meeting was cancelled and will be re-scheduled for January. We have gotten the grant extended to the end of February with the final report being done by the end of February.
3. Term Expirations – Jim
There were no appointment updates for Ken Honey or to replace Jon Giles. Jim asked that Larry contact appropriate legislative staff and see if they have any action on these two appointments in place. Sean reported that the did talk with Peggy Schaffer (DECD) and she told Sean that DECD was no longer bound to fill that seat due to language change. David Blocher offered to check this out and get back to the Board. The Board will work on the assumption that seat is gone.
4. Updated: GIS Executive Council – Liz
Liz noted the GIS Executive Council was meeting this afternoon and shared the agenda items with the Board members. Jim asked if the GIS EC Strategic Plan being worked on would involve the GeoLibary Board.
Dan Waters noted that David Blocher is a member (representing CIO) on the GeoLibary Board and the GIS Executive Council and he will be looking at the long-term plan for GIS via the Board and the Council.
At this time, David was asked to introduce himself. David noted he reports directly to the CIO, Dick Thompson. He has sat on the GIS EC in the past. He will be working to research how does GIS fit into the new OIT structure, how do we want to organize it within the state as we move forward.
5. Bond Planning - Jim
Jim noted that were 11 items identified and prioritized and that he had received some of the materials justifying each item. All remaining justification language needs to be sent to Jim no later than December 31, 2005. Jim will assemble all the information and send out to the Board members before the January 18, 2006. The goal at the January meeting is for a final review before bringing to Tim Glidden at the SPO.
The Board agreed to remove the "Seed Money" item #11 from the bond request as DECD does have something like this in place for technology.
Liz reported she did meet with Tim Glidden on developing tracking issue. Tim noted the Governor's bond will be focusing on a small economic bond. Tim will be meeting with Martha Freeman, SPO Director, to see how much of the GeoLibrary Board bond request would fit in the Governor's bond.
The Board agreed to drop item 11 (Seed Money); continue forward with remaining items; re-order the ranking as needed; and focus on economic development.
Issues discussed were: • What is the approach to get in the Governor's bill? • What is the status of the GIS bond from last year for $6M • At what point do we seek funding other than bond money? • How can we seek general funding for operations and support? • How do we get the ongoing cost to maintain the portal? • How do we support the portal in the future? • The Board needs a revenue stream – how do we look beyond bonds
Do we set up a fee structure? Do we go before the Legislature?
A comment was made the Board would have to go through the CIO to get support from the Commissioner of the Department of Administrative & Financial Services.
6. Other Business – Jim
PUC Secured Infrastructure Database: Dan explained the need for regulatory utilities to submit maps at a certain scale for their infrastructure and to secure and retain confidentially of this information. What is the best method to store and utilize that information with their partners? The PUC needs to keep the data confidential and share with certain agencies. How do we do this in our current environment? There is a project underway in OIT to assist them to accomplish this.
The subject of archives was brought up to the Board with a recommendation that Jim Henderson be invited to a Board meeting to bring folks up to date on this project.
Will brought up the new imagery from Baxter State Park and why the GeoLibrary did not about it. In the future, it would be good to let the GeoLibary Board know of such happenings and perhaps the Board could help with funding and make the data public. This particular BSP project was funded by NASA, it is licensed and restricted to state agencies. The data comes for a private satellite.
The Board does serve as a Clearing House for data. If we knew there was a need out there in advance, we could construct viable options. The Board needs to be more proactive, not wait for folks to offer data, and reach out to those folks who are planning to collect data. This could prevent collecting the same data already available.
We need to use the Geo Portal to reach out to folks for available data. Get the Board organized and get state agencies, companies, etc. to work together, bring them to the table to give the Board a good mission moving forward.
Jim will use the bond information, review 2005 accomplishments, and the GeoLibrary poster to draft the 2005 Annual Report.
A question was asked about putting the ortho photography on GOOGLE? Dan noted that is being worked on right now. Meeting adjourned.
