Architect Jean Nouvel designs an island near Paris
January 10, 2011
Abandoned by carmaker Renault almost 20 years ago, Seguin Island in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, is being renewed by architect Jean Nouvel. Plans for the 300,000-square-meter project includes a mix of culture, commerce, urban parks, and gardens, which officials hope will attract both Parisians and tourists.

Nikon's new D3000 is a perfect entry-level DSLR. This book is for anyone who upgrades from their point-and-shoot, or for anyone who wants to jump into photography with the control and capabilities of a DSLR but without the high price. There's the manual, of course, as well as competing books, and while they all explain, often in 400+ pages, what the camera can do, none of them shows exactly how to use the camera to create great images!

If you PIF every time, they don't like it. CCCs have a term for responsible cardmembers like yourself, deadbeats. They hate PIFers so they call em this. My wife has had a Chase Plat for almost 15 years and they keep giving here CLIs because she has a bad habit of revolving a balance of about 14% of her CL. Every month she pays a FC and Chase says ching ching!
Jman wrote:I dont know why but Chase stopped doing cli. I have had my card for almost 4 years now and no increase. Currently at 7500 since opening. PIF all the time. Finally when I asked for increase this month, letter says (denied) because they given me the max credit that they can give me for right now. I only have 2 cards for them and the other card has cli of 20000.00. wtf why would it matter... i pay my bills full each month. Instead I started using my other cards now. Any thoughts????

Unlike the current precipitation drought going on across the US, the seemingly endless drought of Mila Kunis appearances in the media seems to be coming to a close. 2011 saw what appeared to be a fairly extensive vacation for Mila and her career as the celebrity sex symbol she is. Scant sightings outside stores and on the way to gyms had to suffice for those craving fans hungry for anything from our favorite petite, dark-haired vixen. So nice to see her coming back into the spotlight again, like she was at the 50th anniversary of the St. Jude Children's Hospital. Bonus points for the see thru action in her dress, which was sadly ruined by some horrible, flesh-colored barrier spoiling what might have been the best thing to happen all year. Curse you, flesh-color fabric. Foiled again!

I have hardwood floors in my dining room and have had a constant battle with the floors getting scuffed up when the chairs are moved. I have tried the little felt pads but they constantly come off and the floors get scraped.
Now, I'm putting hardwood in the kitchen (and redoing the dining room) so I want to find something better for the bottom of the chairs. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could work that actually stays on? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
you could try hot glue gunning the felt pads on. we have the same problem and i have thought about doing that. |
- Posted by bestyears (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Jan 5, 10 at 10:56
We bought a glue at Home Depot for this, and it worked like a charm. |
When I get home from work, I'll post a good link for you. This place carries felt casters that have little sides on them so they won't slip off the bottom of the leg. They come in different sizes so you can buy the ones that fit snuggly. |
I have cut little pieces of the leftovers of the underpadding / soundproofing membranes that are used in concrete buildings to go under engineered hardwood floors and under porcelain floor tiles. Also cork, which is also used for this purpose. These are expensive membranes, but the cost for a 1" square is much less than the felt, described above, which often comes apart when it's firmly glued onto the bottom of a chair leg. These synthetic membranes and cork hold together very well. Cork is a lot harder than most people think; it's not a sponge and it's not balsa wood. hth |
I don't have wood floors, but even ceramic tile will get scraped, plus the chairs don't slide well. I reseached on line for the best glides and the consensus was that felt was the best for protection vs the plastic/silicone ones. Felt does wear out, so people thought the ones linked to below were good because you just change the felt, not have to pull out the whole glide. They come in light brown and dark brown and maybe different sizes, but you'll have to check that out as I forget data like that quickly. They also have shims included for chair legs that are on an angle. I got this large pack because it already has replacement felts included and the shims. Now if I could just get my husband to put them on the chairs! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pro-Glides
I have used the felt pads that have the metal circle on the bottom. You have to pound them into the bottom of the chair legs. They work very well, if you have wooden chairs. They lasted 10 years for me. |
- Posted by westchestermom (My Page) on Tue, Jan 5, 10 at 14:59
We used felt pads for our kitchen chairs but the problem we found was that little bits of dirt got under the pads and stuck in the pads, and that then scuffed our floor. We do have kids in the house so maybe more stuff ends up on the floor. But that floor was vacuumed and mopped daily, and we still had the problem. Maybe you are supposed to change them or vacuum the bottom of the pads frequently? I also think the finish on our wooden floor was not good. In any event, it was one of the reasons we chose tile. |
We had to choose new kitchen chairs, so we picked ones that could have casters--no more scraping. There are different types for different floors. |
- Posted by celticmoon (My Page) on Tue, Jan 5, 10 at 23:09
For felt pads my wood floor installer recommended Cleverbrand pads. Said the ones available now from HD or Lowe's just don't stick well. These stick great. |
Here is a link that might be useful: pads
Thank you everyone. I am intrigued with the Pro-Glides and the cork option. For the cork, what type of cork and glue were used? Casters sound interesting too...what type are needed for hardwood? Can they be small so they aren't really seen much? |
I found these on the web a while back and really like how they look. They come in different sizes so you can order the ones that will fit over your chair legs the best. |
Here is a link that might be useful: formed felt pads
I'm having the same problem. The felt pads work for a while, but they soon turn into sandpaper as grit gets stuck to them. I think the only good solution is a rug. |
After the felt pads that I had been using wore down --my beautiful wood floors were scuffed under my island overhang by my twin boys. I don't think I even realized the damage until it was there. I was so disgusted I scoured the internet for a better solution. I found this product and wish I had found it sooner. It works like a charm. I only have these on the chairs under my island overhang and on the kitchen chair that I use at my desk. I still have the felt pads on the kitchen chairs that sit at my table on a rug. The problem with the felt pads is that all of a sudden they are worn out and scratching your floors before you realize it. At least in a kitchen like mine with lots of kid traffic and wear and tear. |
Here is a link that might be useful: my solution
BTW - the number on my package is CB255 if that helps. I realize the website I posted is confusing. Also-these are expensive. |

Save the south side of Colborne Street.
A stretch of 41 buildings on the south side of Colborne Street in
Brantford, Ontario is slated for demolition within only a couple of
weeks. Despite overwhelming evidence that many of these buildings are
of cultural heritage significance to the City of Brantford, that
rehabilitation pays and an offer from a prominent heritage property
developer to assist in that rehabilitation, City Council is pushing
ahead with demolition without having a plan to replace them with
anything other than a grassy slope.
This petition represents the
people of the City of Brantford, across Ontario and beyond who oppose
the demolition. We are petitioning the Ministry of Culture to exercise
its authority to issue a stop work order so that some if possibly not all
of these buildings can be retained and reused as part of a larger,
healthy revitalization scheme.
With the right vision, and the right developers we can restore these buildings to their former grandeur and reclaim our downtown. Community, Heritage, and Economical Growth can co-exist!
Thank you to everyone so much for your support!
Please encourage others to sign this petition, and to join our facebook group; http://www.facebook.com/?sk=messages&ref=mb#!/group.php?v=info&ref=ts&gid=264835224286 (1600 members and counting!)

An Almost Holy Picture isn't a play or even a convincing monologue. It's a bit like one of those charming NPR essays in which a small-town teacher describes a precocious child, a pleasant landscape, a small incident that illumined a larger truth for him. Such insights have an eight-minute appeal, but they pall at two hours.
Faced with a universe that's forever shimmering, and forced to deliver lines like "It's as if we suffered to repair something faulty in our natures" and "I put my garden to bed and love calls me," the stalwart Hutton falters. He loses his emotional clarity. An actor alone on a stage can electrify an audience, as Chris Tabb and Ann Rickhoff sequentially demonstrated in Everyman Theatre's Talking Heads last spring. But Rickhoff and Tabb were supported by the depth and intelligence of Alan Bennett's writing. I'd guess that An Almost Holy Picture is unactable.
In the wake of September 11, a lot of Americans talked about a crisis of faith and the difficulties of believing in a God who allowed such tragedies to happen. (You have to wonder how long these people had been sleeping: Even if Stalin, the Holocaust and Hiroshima occurred before their time, surely they had heard of Rwanda?) Still, the reality of suffering and the possibilities of redemption remain the most profound puzzles we face. Explored with honesty and feeling, they should speak to even the most irreverent among us.

Heider said that in other areas, the D.A.R.E program runs for 17 weeks, but officers chose to make it 10 weeks to "customize" it for Colonie.
Heider said the police department determined the shorter program allowed some elements to be replaced by coverage of more local issues and also free up more time for the D.A.R.E officers to conduct their other duties, such as patrolling community events like marathons and walks and events at the Crossings of Colonie.
In her past experience as an educator, Mahan said, "I saw the benefits of having that program in the schools with the police officers."
Mahan also said that she believes the programs are preventative and that there is a need for a police officer presence in the schools, whether it be with D.A.R.E. or the school resource officer, but she will continue to study the most cost-effective way to do it.
Mahan said, now that the budget for the coming year has been completed, she will meet with former D.A.R.E. officers to discuss the program and what could be done to strengthen it. She said she hopes to bring the school district on board to think creatively about how to make sure students are receiving the best education that will prevent them from using drugs.
Director of Town Operations Peter Gannon said, "Our responsibility is to make the right choices for the people of the town. If the consensus is that the D.A.R.E. program isn't working, then we would consider other options.""

Some ideas to spend your weekends.
I waiting for weekends to come, just because I get to see the world outside of my hostel! And where do I go? The same place EA, Spencers, Mayajaal and all the other malls we know of. I know each and every shop now! But why have I been going only to these places for the last three years? It's because it's where you can "Step in and come out without buying," all for free without anyone bugging you.
So I gave it a little thought and this is what I found. It goes like this; first don't waste your time in malls. If you feel going out alone is expensive, go as a gang. Trust me; it's fun and sometimes not so. Try to plan your day's outing in advance, ask others on how to get there and what's the best time to get there, don't go there all without knowing anything about the place. If you get a weekend, try using it wisely so as to refresh your mood and to get ready for week ahead. You could probably go fishing with a couple of friends rather than sitting in the same fast food store. You could enrol yourself in a club like the squash club or you could join a gym. If you like fun and adventure, try parasailing, diving in Pondicherry and so on.
Finally what I call the best deal — go to your friend's place, one week one home and by the time you finish college you would have gone to all of their houses, spent some time there including sleepovers and having free meals.

The 12 Days of iMas, Day 9: A banana to plug into your Apple
Today is the ninth day of a 12-day feature where we'll show you the strangest Apple-flavored gifts we can find. Check out the previous days here: Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Day 9: A banana phone for your Apple phone
There used to be a time when just talking on a flashy new Apple smartphone was enough to get a few curious glances, but those days are long gone. If you want to really stand out these days, you have to do something a bit more drastic -- like buy a plastic banana phone handset and plug it into your iPhone. I promise you (or whoever you might want to gift such a thing to) will get the attention you so desperately crave.
At just US$11, there's a good chance this accessory isn't going to stand the test of time, but given the fact that you'll probably be arrested for crimes against comedy just for using it in a public place, you probably won't need it for long.

Swedish air force Saab JAS39 Gripen fighters are to be equipped with a helmet-mounted display system including BAE Systems' Cobra helmet, under a SKr345 million ($53.3 million) contract from the nation's Defence Materiel Administration.
Saab Aerosystems business unit manager Lennart Sindahl says the enhancement "further improves the Swedish Gripen fleet's already expansive operating capability," and claims: "this order is further evidence of the confidence Sweden has in Gripen." Saab is to remanufacture 31 of the air force's JAS39As to the C/D configuration under a separate six-year deal, and is also developing an enlarged Gripen demonstrator (pictured below) to support future operations of the type for the domestic customer and potential new export buyers.
The newly selected helmet-mounted display system has previously been ordered for South Africa's future fleet of 28 Gripens, the first of which is scheduled to conclude in-country testing later this year ahead of its formal introduction to service in early 2008.

The walkover from the backstretch barns to the Churchill Downs paddock will take place approximately 1,000 times in a given year, but only one will proceed the most exciting two minutes in sports. As the ritual that every owner and trainer dreams of since their initial introduction to thoroughbred racing, it is the signal that truly begins the pure pulse pounding electrical charge that is the Kentucky Derby.
19 horses, and hundreds of their connections would make the surreal march from the backstretch chute, down the wrong way of the first turn, before finally turning into the belly of the beast. In that moment in time, there are no favorites, there are no longshots, only a living mass of human and equine moving as one united front to what they have every hope will lead to the greatest experience of their individual lives.
As many times as I've attended the Kentucky Derby, the walkover is a happening which I've never joined before. That all changed yesterday, when, after watching one of the most thrilling races of Wise Dan's magnificent career from up close, I ventured out onto the historic racing surface. From the time I felt the Churchill Downs dirt beneath my brown dress shoes, I knew that it was something that I should have done before.
The gap in time between the victory of Wise Dan and the start to the procession was long, but it did not matter. Time moved quickly due to a strong mix of equal parts anticipation and adrenaline bubbling through my veins. It all began slowly, with my partners, Ember Marr, Bryan Brinkmeyer, and I, jockeying for our position in the parade back towards more than 160,000 screaming Derby fans.
The Kentucky Derby horses are the star of the show, but it was the crowd that awakened my goosebumps. Shifting my gaze back and forth from the equine stars just a few feet away to my right, to the indescribable enthusiasm exploding to my left, the walkover only got better the farther we went. Some were true race fans anticipating another edition of the greatest show on dirt. Some were there to be part of a one of a kind party. Some were just downright zany. No matter which, their show of passion for the walkover was unlike anything I've ever seen.
All good things must eventually end, and so it was for my first walkover. As we turned toward the tunnel into the paddock. I took one last look at the fans in every direction, and just smiled in great appreciation of it all.
Wicked Strong looked a little nervous in front of the huge crowd at times, and then had some stretch traffic to deal with, but all in all, he ran a solid race to complete the superfecta behind California Chrome.
Candy Boy is a big, strong, good looking horse. Poor Candy Boy, though ... He had no idea what was in store for him on the first turn.
The copper coat of California Chrome glistens in the Kentucky sun. Check out the muscle tone on our newest Kentucky Derby champion.
Bryan and Brian before the walkover … Bryan is the better looking one.

Earthquakes happen all the time, and can be barely noticeable or terribly devastating. What causes them? What can we do to be prepared?
What causes earthquakes?
Masses of rock shift below the Earth's surface, causing changes in pressure and seismic waves.
Approximately how many earthquakes occur each year that people can feel? How many of these cause property damage?
Approximately 100,000 earthquakes are felt by people each year, with about 1,000 causing property damage.
How many times more energy does a magnitude 5 earthquake release than an earthquake with a magnitude of 4?
A magnitude 5 earthquake releases thirty times more energy than a magnitude 4 earthquake.
What are engineers focusing on to keep people safe from earthquakes in the future?
They are focusing on ways to create safer buildings, highways, and bridges.
- About 80% of the planet's earthquakes occur along the rim of the Pacific Ocean due to the fault lines there.
- Scientists use the Richter Scale to rate earthquakes based on the strength and duration of their seismic waves.
- Earthquakes often cause other hazards, such as mud slides, fires, floods and tsunamis.
Term Part of Speech Definition Encyclopedic Entry earthquake Noun the sudden shaking of Earth's crust caused by the release of energy along fault lines or from volcanic activity.
fault line Noun fracture in a rock caused by tectonic activity pulling one side of the rock in a different direction.
Richter scale Noun ordered series of numbers (1-10) used to indicate the amount of energy released during an earthquake. The Richter scale is now outdated. Scientists now use the moment-magnitude scale.

Muscular Nationalism: Gender, Violence, and Empire in India and Ireland, 1914-2004 - Gender and Political Violence (Hardback)
Format: | Hardback 208 pages |
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 4-7 days

in the UK
A particular dark triumph of modern nationalism has been its ability to persuade citizens to sacrifice their lives for a political vision forged by emotional ties to a common identity. Both men and women can respond to nationalistic calls to fight that portray muscular warriors defending their nation against an easily recognizable enemy. This "us versus them" mentality can be seen in sectarian violence between Hindus and Muslims, Tamils and Sinhalas, Serbs and Kosovars, and Protestants and Catholics. In Muscular Nationalism, Sikata Banerjee takes a comparative look at India and Ireland and the relationship among gender, violence, and nationalism. Exploring key texts and events from 1914-2004, Banerjee explores how women negotiate "muscular nationalisms" as they seek to be recognized as legitimate nationalists and equal stakeholders in their national struggles. Banerjee argues that the gendered manner in which dominant nationalism has been imagined in most states in the world has had important implications for women's lived experiences. Drawing on a specific intersection of gender and nationalism, she discusses the manner in which women negotiate a political and social terrain infused with a masculinized dream of nation-building. India and Ireland - two states shaped by the legacy of British imperialism and forced to deal with modern political/social conflict centring on competing nationalisms - provide two provocative case studies that illuminate the complex interaction between gender and nation.

A search of Albuquerque produces a great list of physicians who can prescribe suboxone to patients facing opioid withdrawal. Addiction to opiates results in a mix of uncomfortable withdrawal effects (nausea, chills, diarrhea, insomnia, body ache, etc) which bring about chronic stress and can lead to anxiety, depressive feelings, and diminished ability to meet one's daily responsibilities. Buprenorphine is the therapeutic ingredient in Suboxone that reduces opiate withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone has become a popular and effective opioid replacement medication that restores a person's functioning following a period of decline in active opioid addiction. Only approved physicians are legally able to write prescriptions for buprenorphine/suboxone. If you are a local physician aiming to treat Albuquerque area residents, you may purchase a featured listing at the top of this page insuring that your medical services will be found by prospective patients searching our website for quality opioid treatment.
SMC Recovery Offering Affordable Opportunity in ScottsdaleSMC Recovery based in Scottsdale, Arizona opened an outpatient addiction treatment program late last year. SMC provides a Medication-Assisted Program utilizing methadone and an Intensive Outpatient Program. Both treatment modalities are endorsed by SAMHSA as best practices in the field of addiction treatment. Methadone programs across the USA cover a wide range of prices sometimes as high as $15.00 per day. However, SMC Recovery have implemented one of the most affordable rates in the country at just $55.00 per week. This is an outstanding value for anyone who has been struggling with opiate addiction and it is one of the most competitive rates we have learned of anywhere in the country. Prospective patients are often unable to get started with outpatient methadone treatment because the cost is just too high for them. SMC Recovery have lowered this barrier considerably. We were informed by their staff that this price will most likely be active over the next year consequently providing … Read more Recovery Is About Positive ChangeAs we prepare for another new year, there is always this opportunity for welcomed changes and improvements in our lives. New years resolutions are often built around personal goals that people would like to achieve like quitting smoking, losing weight, or beginning a new hobby. With opioid addiction, the desire for relief is always present. It is amazing what an individual can do when they are truly motivated and committed to a goal. It is true that people enter recovery every single day. What an incredible truth this is! The big question is what does it take for a person to step onto the path of change and to point themselves in a new direction? The disease of addiction is one that is allowed to continue as a result of becoming stagnant, inactive. As a disease process, drug addition only gets halted when a person makes a decision to do something about it. If a person fails to take any … Read more Buprenorphine and Liver HealthJana Burson is a North Carolina physician who specializes in the treatment of opioid addiction using medications like buprenorphine and methadone. Dr. Burson is a passionate caregiver and patient advocate with considerable experience in the field of addiction treatment. She maintains an informative blog on the topic of opioid addiction treatment and recently posted her comments and observations on a revealing 2012 study. The 2012 study by Saxon et al is reported in her blog to have followed more than 700 patients over 24 weeks who were receiving either methadone or buprenorphine (the active ingredient in Suboxone). These patients were checked for specific red flag elevations that would suggest emerging liver damage or liver inflammation. None of the patients receiving methadone or buprenorphine had significant abberations in liver functioning. This led the researchers to conclude that neither medication causes liver damage. A 2014 follow-up study by Soyka and others (published in the American Journal on Addictions) found the same results … Read more Methadone or SuboxoneA common question among those seeking help is whether methadone or suboxone is the best choice for opioid replacement therapy. It reminds me of the age old debate … which is better, Ford or Chevy? Methadone has been used in opioid addiction treatment for about 45 years. Suboxone has been available to the public for 12 years. Each of these medications has been shown, through conclusive research, to be highly effective in eliminating opioid withdrawal. Both methadone and suboxone achieve a similar outcome, but with subtle differences. [view our comparison chart] When opiate withdrawal symptoms are no longer a daily preoccupation and source of anxiety, individuals are free to invest their energy & time in productive, meaningful activities. Avoiding withdrawal sickness is the single greatest driver of continued opioid use, and often pushes an individual to desperate measures to maintain a supply of opiates so that they will not get sick. People unfamiliar with addiction sometimes believe that … Read more |

Newcastle Brown Ale
Newcastle Brown Ale is an ale that was originally produced in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The brand is owned by Heineken and produced at their John Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. It was launched in 1927 by Colonel Jim Porter after three years of development. The merger of Newcastle Breweries with Scottish Brewers afforded the beer national distribution, and United Kingdom sales peaked by the early 1970s. The brand underwent a resurgence in the late 1980s-ea...

Getting Involved
Dancing Flute (Listen and Look)
The NPR program From the Top is coming to Rochester to tape a show on March 19th at Eastman's Kodak Hall, and I've been interviewing a few musicians with Rochester connections who have played on the show.
How do you get to Kodak Hall?
Happy new year! Any adventures in your world? I've been terribly lax about blogging, but I have been busy...
Pianos for Peace
You'll find a few pianos out and about around Rochester this month - and you're allowed (encouraged, even!) to play them. They're part of the Pianos for Peace project, which you can read and hear more about in this radio feature by WXXI News intern Sarah Tembeckjian. I saw one of the pianos this week at the Rochester Public Market, and I snapped a few photos.
Recent Radio Conversations: Bill McGlaughlin, Art of Books, Music Therapy, etc.
I've recently started including short interviews and features as a part of my time on the radio, broadcasting them alongside the music around 4:30pm. Have you noticed? Do you like hearing them on the radio? Here are links to the online versions of several recent interviews:
Quilted Music: Caris Burton and Birds in Warped Time
Hearing a piece of music on WXXI's Classical 91.5 inspired quilting artist Caris Burton to create a new work. I love the connections she made with this music and its composer, and I'm glad that she took some time to write up this story to share here on the WXXI blog. Read Caris's story below, and you can see two music inspired quilts by Caris Burton on display at the Genessee Valley Quilt Club Show at RIT May 31st through June 2nd.
Clara Rockmore and the Theremin
A couple of weeks ago, I put a recording on the radio of Dvorak's Humoresque – as played on the theremin by the great Clara Rockmore.
A few WXXI listeners wrote in to comment about the recording, including Dave, who wrote: "I'd like to see it in action to better appreciate the technique & coordination - all the details." I'm posting my response here too for anyone else who might be interested.
Jeremy Denk: Beethoven, Bach, Liszt at Eastman
Pianist Jeremy Denk is playing a recital tonight at 8pm in Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School of Music. He'll be playing music by Bartók, Liszt, Bach, and Beethoven.

Lincoln, Illinois Radar Unofficial Wednesday afternoon tornado risk. West central Illinois? |
Hi, bf, There was a well defined frontal boundary from far northeast TX toward San Angelo Sunday morning. Met up with the seabreeze front just north of me. Folks lucky enough to be at this happy meeting got some decent rain. Not much here. Head Country sounds good. I followed the link looking for an angle but alas, the BBQ products are named after "Donovan Fred Head". Also known as "Uncle Bud". Not to be confused with "Uncle Dad". It is Oklahoma, right? Looks like I can get it at most any Kroger store here on the east side of the county. Should be some interesting weather over the Midwest tomorrow. Will be interesting to see if we get a SE'ward propagating MCS sliding down the east side of the ridge towards the Ohio Valley. Long shot guess here. Will look again in the early AM. Thanks, & G'nite. |
Hi bl, That boundary heading to NE TX looked strangely strong on vis this morning. Of course, I tend to imagine things. Love the simmering ridge. Would be grand with genuine Head Country original bbq sauce. Made in Ponca City, "winning hearts and championships since 1947." I hope Levi doesn't get sunburned. Have a good one. I go pull weeds. |
Nice. OKC records to 1890. Thank you, bl. "Lake Overholser is the city's oldest reservoir, built in 1919 to provide water to a treatment plant still operating at NW 6 and Pennsylvania Avenue. "It's just off old Route 66 between Council Road and Morgan Road. A canal connects it to Lake Hefner. "Size: 1,500 surface acres Depth: 6 feet average, 13 feet deepest" Maybe it takes a lake to stop an EF5. Lake Stanley Draper Funny you should mention the ceiling fan. Like the truck that helps us along our roads in life, it behaves as a true friend would. Brings us comfort, familiar and steady. |
Shush, shore, don't tick her off so early in the day. And in other news, HGX May Climate Summary |
Good morning, all! We did get tiny, sleet-sized hail last night, for about a minute. Not much rain, but enough in the bucket to hold the African violets this week. That's quite a graphic and link, beell. The information in the table's the most interesting. I'm amazed at the number of town names I recognize. (bf - I thought of you when I got to #30 on the list. A draw doesn't necessarily contain water, but still...) |
Morning, bf. Always glad to see the ceiling fan spinning when I wake up each morning! Nice little link for the history buff from NWS-Norman OK/Tornadoes in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Area Since 1890. Yukon has been fortunate. 149 recorded tornadoes in the study area. Tracks of all recorded tornadoes occurring wholly or partly within the immediate Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area, 1890-Present. County boundaries and major highways are shown. The immediate Oklahoma City area, and other cities included in this study are outlined. Tornado paths shown that are completely outside the immediate Oklahoma City area are not included in the table or statistics for the OKC area tornadoes. For those unfamiliar with the area, Yukon is at the far left center of the graphic. The tabs at the top of the linked page offer additional information. RBFMFbf! ;-) click image for storm reports. |
How 'bout dem Spurs? :) |
What report? Sniffs the air. Oh. Now I get it. lmao Glad you guys got some rain. bl, I really came back tonight to drop this here as a reminder to thank your truck every morning when it starts. Well, you know what I mean, appreciate the little things. I think you do. This just leaves me in awe. Complete and utter. |
We had a nice couple of storms in Pasadena.....and we were happy to share Shore! =) |
My report, shore. A non-event here-but nearby Dayton and Liberty had some fun. There was a gap in the line before it all merged. Yeah, that was me. In the gap. :-) |
Ohhhh! We have rain, and the NWS is reporting tennis ball-sized hail in Seabrook. I think I'd best go see what that noise is... |
Cold front (North) and sea breeze boundary (South). Hi, bf. Saw that pic on Doc's blog. It is nice to see a good link to it on this one! I think it was that Gandhi dude who said: "There is more to life than increasing its speed." :-) Just right on the edge of it here, M. A few storms sorta working down (SW) the front to the north, so maybe everyone will get a taste of rain. |
Nice of Pasadena to share a little thunder with us! I can see rain, too - I've got my bucket ready in case it comes this way. ;) |
(Add: Lookin' like wind all right.) Thanks, 27. |
I am happy to hear your family in Ok. is well. You and BF have been on my mind too much this season! It's time for gentle rain in Ok too, BF =) |
Hi bl, (and all) Hope you get some nice, kind, sweet t-storms. What was it I used to say about Father Sky and Mother Earth?... Pretty amazing pitcher... This one might be overshooting - a little.. (See also caption on that page.) Hope you all have a good evening free from stress. :) :) :) |
I swear to goodness I saw that same cloud. For a while it looked like a perfect dome, smooth and pretty. It was huge, too, but it's the only decent cloud I've seen all day. I don't know - it just doesn't feel like a good rain. All afternoon it's been getting hotter but less humid. And there's nothing building around here now. I was glad to see your note at bf's about your mom and family. I think we can forego any of that sort of weather excitement for a while. ;) Wel, time to cool off and think some thunderstormy thoughts. |
Hey, 27, I was more excited a while ago. But it sure was sweet to see a great big o' thunderstorm going up over the Sabine river. But then...it hit the cap. Top of the cell was as flat as a pancake...but then, some additional convective development broke through just a bit. That "overshooting tops" thing. Cap is stronger over Houston and we won't have the peak daytime heating for much longer. And the boyz are not helping our hopes much either. AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 348 PM CDT THU JUN 6 2013 .DISCUSSION... QUITE A LOT OF BOUNDARIES TO CONTEND WITH THE AFTN/EVENING AS THE FRONT SLOWLY MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE REGION AND OUTFLOWS/SEABREEZE INTERACT IN THIS MOIST/UNSTABLE AIRMASS ALREADY OVER SE TX. NOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE WITH HOW FAR SOUTH THIS ACTIVITY WILL EXTEND AS WE MOVE INTO THE PEAK HEATING HOURS BUT HARD TO ARGUE AGAINST THE CURRENT WATCH CONFIG BASED ON ONGOING TRENDS. Oh well, the clouds are pretty. |
Good afternoon Mr. Beell! Hope we can have a bit of excitement this evening with a few thunderstorms. Nothing severe, of course. Last day of school today, so sleeping in tomorrow. I can stay up if necessary =) |
For 91L: Seems the surface trough and ex-Barbara-lower-tropospheric support is pretty much locked in place between the ridges in the models. From the tip of the Yucatan to SW Florida. Western gulf ridging appears to eventually suppress or nullify any monsoonal circulation in the Atlantic basin by mid-week. What ever it is would seem to continue on a track towards the NE along the surface trough. A weak upper trough over the gulf should provide good divergence/support for showers and thunderstorms from the western tip of Cuba to the southern half of Florida. And it's probably worth a mention that upper shortwave ridging ahead of this feature along with confluent flow/subsidence with the southern stream westerlies over the northern gulf may temper the rain totals for northern Floridians. |

Kurt Zouma has ruled out a summer switch by committing himself to St Etienne for at least another year.
The 18-year-old defender is among the most sought-after young talents in European football.
The France U20 international has excelled since breaking into the senior set-up at St Etienne and is said to be interesting the likes of Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Anzhi Makhachkala and Wolfsburg.
Zouma is, however, in no rush to take on a new challenge and test himself outside of his homeland.
He is aware of the intense speculation surrounding his future, but insists there is nothing in it and that he will be staying at Stade Geoffrey-Guichard.
Zouma told Le Progres: "There was a lot of noise this summer about a transfer for me.
"I can only say one thing - I will be at St Etienne this season, for sure."

Best practices for finding and connecting with brand advocates.
Building a healthy community of consumers who are enthusiastic about your brand doesn't happen overnight. It takes a strategic approach that involves listening before engaging. In this column, I will provide helpful strategies and advice for helping you foster the kind of community that draws in fans and motivates them to share positive experiences with their extended networks.
One of the first places to start building community is on Facebook, and the tips below will help you get started. In future columns, I will also provide similar advice for Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and other networks, including hosting your own social hubs on your website and branded message boards. But, for now, let's dive into the world's most popular social network – Facebook.
With more than 500 million people worldwide actively using Facebook to connect with not only family and friends but also brands, Facebook represents an incredibly powerful platform for building community. However, in order to be successful and not alienate consumers, marketers need to take a smart and measured approach. The following tips and best practices will help you build out a healthy community of brand advocates.
1. Conduct a brand audit. Facebook's search bar is an excellent way to get insight into how consumers think about your brand. Just type in your brand name and assess the nature of the conversations already taking place about your brand. Supplement that effort by leveraging listening/monitoring tools to better understand what is being said, where, and by whom. Finally, traditional market research also has a role. Survey customers to better understand how they currently use social media and what they'd like to see/receive from your brand.
2. Find a shared passion. Take cues from your customers and find common ground. The most successful communities are less about selling and more about connecting around a shared passion - be it music, entertainment, travel, or sports. Center the conversation around this shared passion and build a dialog around key events and interests.
3. Build your fan base. Now that you've identified a shared passion that will underpin your general community framework, the next step is to build your base. The best acquisition strategies leverage existing customer touchpoints as well as opportunities within Facebook's ecosystem. Take the following steps:
4. Keep your fans engaged. Once you've acquired fans, you need to create a compelling experience that keeps them engaged and actively participating. Keep in mind that engaging your fans is a journey, not a destination. The following tips should help you keep your fans engaged:
5. Foster trust. Being open isn't always easy. Many brands shy away from social media out of fear that their fans and followers may say something negative or turn on them. Deal with issues and problems in an open, transparent way. In fact, if you've done a good job offering value and engaging those who like your page, you may find these same people to be your biggest defenders. To build trust with your fans, do the following:
6. Analyze and optimize. So, how do you know if you're doing a good job? Tracking and analytics will help you get a handle on your page's performance. Try the following tracking tactics:
By following the best practices outlined above, you will be well on your way to creating a vibrant and mutually rewarding community on Facebook. However, it's important to never lose sight of the fact that Facebook is an evolving platform. No one person can keep up with all the developments, so make sure you partner right. Find an agency and/or support system that's well-versed on Facebook best practices and your brand, and has shown a proven ability to engage consumers.

Proving Quadrilateral Is a Parallelogram, ReduxDate: 04/04/2012 at 22:06:07 From: Dave Subject: Proving that a quadrilateral is a parallleogram I have a student who conjectured that a quadrilateral with one pair of congruent sides and one set of congruent angles is a parallelogram. A Dr. Math conversation begun by Kara on 11/20/2011 delivers a counterexample given for a non-convex case, with which I agree. But my sophomore geometry student persisted, and has produced a proof. What I believe to be interesting is that this problem does not appear in any textbooks, so it could be an original proof. That would be very exciting for my student!! Could you see if you agree that it is valid? Here it is. Given a quadrilateral ABCD with <D congruent to <B and AD congruent to BC. Drop a perpendicular segment from A to CD at E, and a perpendicular segment from C to AB at F. Triangle AED is congruent to triangle CFB by AAS. Thus DE is congruent to FB; and AE is congruent to CF because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC). Construct AC in quadrilateral AFCE. Right triangles ACF and CAE are congruent by the hypotenuse leg postulate (HL). Thus AF is congruent to EC. By angle addition and substitution, CD is congruent to AB. Then the original quadrilateral ABCD has two pairs of congruent sides, so it must be a parallelogram. Date: 04/04/2012 at 23:42:20 From: Doctor Peterson Subject: Re: Proving that a quadrilateral is a parallleogram Hi, Dave. Very nice -- but there's a subtle flaw in the proof. The error is in this line: By angle addition and substitution, CD is congruent to AB. This is based on the facts that CE is congruent to AF, and that DE is congruent to BF, and the UNSTATED ASSUMPTION that ... AF = AB + BF and CE = CD + DE, ... so that ... CD = CE - DE = AF - BF = AB This is true ONLY IF B lies between A and F, and D lies between C and E. To show that this need not be true, I followed the instructions in the page you referred to: Proving Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/55401.html I drew a counterexample (and arranged it, as suggested at the bottom, so that the quadrilateral is convex, just to avoid any concerns in that area). Here is my result; look carefully and you'll see that the betweenness assumption is false here: http://mathforum.org/dr.math/gifs/dave04.04.12.jpg This is very hard to catch unless you are aware of the danger, because you naturally draw the figure as you expect it to look (in this case, a parallelogram), and without a good bit of experience you don't tend to consider other possibilities. I immediately guessed what might be happening because I've seen the same thing in some classic fallacious proofs: Are All Triangles Isosceles? http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/55192.html Every Triangle Is Isosceles!? http://www.math.wisc.edu/~robbin/461dir/isosceles.pdf A Right Angle Is Equal To an Obtuse Angle? http://www.jimloy.com/geometry/obtuse.htm It may not be as exciting as discovering a new and valid proof, but you may have here a new and rather beautiful fallacious proof. (I can't guarantee, however, that it hasn't been done before.) - Doctor Peterson, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ |

Collection number: MC 130
Size: 3 boxes (1.00 cu.ft.)
About Gene Gowing (1896-1968)
Gene Gowing was born on March 19, 1896 in Dublin, N.H. His baptismal name was Almerin McIntosh Gowing, and this is the name that appears on his military records, but at some point he acquired the nickname "Gene" and in 1948 he formally changed his name to Gene from Almerin.
Gowing's military career began at the Signal Corps photographic school at Columbia University. He was assigned to the 55th Service company in Vincennes, France in 1918, where he was employed in the Signal Corps photographic laboratory until March 1919, when he was transferred to an entertainment unit. He returned to the United States in June 1919.
After the war, Gowing spent some time in Hollywood as a motion picture set designer, but by the 1940s he was involved in square dancing. Gowing was the head of Gene Gowing's Folkways, an organization that promoted and taught square and contra dancing. Gowing often worked with his contemporary Ralph Page to promote their common interest in dance. Gowing also authored three books on square dancing: Gene Gowing's Collection of American Quadrilles, Contras and Rounds, with General Terms; The Square Dancer's Guide; and Square Dancing for Everyone. He died on October 13, 1968 in Jaffrey, New Hampshire and is buried in Dublin.

Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- BAE Systems Plc, John Deere Capital Corp. and Darden Restaurants Inc. sold a combined $2.65 billion of bonds, after issuance in the first two days of the week fell 96 percent from a week earlier.
The $1.25 billion three-part sale by BAE Systems was the first issue by Europe's largest defense company since June 2009, including $500 million of 4.75 percent notes due in 2021. John Deere Capital issued $500 million of floating-rate notes due in 2013 and $500 million of 3.15 percent bonds due in 2021. Orlando, Florida-based Darden sold $400 million of 4.5 percent, 10-year debt.
Relative borrowing costs are at the highest levels in more than two years after Standard & Poor's stripped the U.S. of its top credit grade in August and Greece strives to avoid a default. The issuance decline comes after the Federal Reserve's plan to replace $400 billion of short-term debt in its portfolio with longer-term Treasuries failed to prompt borrowing.
The offering from Darden was the first since 2007 for the operator of the Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains. London- based BAE Systems also issued $350 million of five-year, 3.5 percent notes and $400 million of 5.8 percent, 30-year bonds.
Sales of dollar-denominated debt in the U.S. market on the first three days of this week have decreased 74 percent to $3.4 billion from the $12.9 billion sold between Sept. 26 and 28, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
BAE Systems and Darden may use the proceeds to repay debt and for general corporate purposes, according to people with knowledge of the transactions. John Deere Capital also intends to use its proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Willy is just beginning to develop his talents in the brass section of the school band, when Principal Malfactor shuts down the Music Program, to divert money to buy the Football team new equipment. When Rock finds out, he offers to fund the Music Program himself, on one condition... that he teach the music class!
All the students are hyped about the cool new faculty member... except Willy, whose cover is blown by his Dad's presence at school. Meanwhile, when the parents hear that the infamous Rock Zilla is molding their children's impressionable minds they demand his resignation. Before the parents' protest can get too heated, Rock understands that as much as he wants to be a bigger part of Willy's life, he has to give his Son some space. So Dad quits, slyly telling the parents, "Who needs Music in school anyway? I didn't, and look how well I turned out!" That's all it takes for the parents to demand that the program be immediately reinstated!

January 31, 2015
(AP) A motorist confronted by a state trooper said he was stunned when the officer told him the car had been stolen.
Charles J. Schultz explained that he was driving his Chevy Cavalier and everything was fine. That's when the trooper informed Schultz that he was actually behind the wheel of a Ford Escort.
Police charged Schultz with auto theft, felony driving under the influence and misdemeanor drugs misconduct. Police said the 27-year-old's blood-alcohol content was .166, more than twice the legal limit.
It all started when Fairbanks police received a report shortly after midnight Friday that a Ford Escort had been stolen from the parking lot of a gentlemen's club. An officer spotted the stolen Ford two hours later _ with Schultz driving.
Schultz swore he had no memory of taking the wrong vehicle outside the club, according to a criminal complaint.
