Ezreal stood atop the highest hill he could find, although in a place called the Tempest Flats the so-called hill was more of a slightly steep incline. He scanned the horizon letting hisexplorer instincts take over, searching for any source of water, food, and shelter.
He took out his canteen and took a small sip of water, he shook it and frowned. I think fighting in the League has dulled some of my senses, he said to no one in particular. It didnt seem that long ago, that he was leaving Amumus archeological dig site at the pyramids in the Shurima Desert. The yordle mummy had used some of his influence in the League of Legends to fund an expedition to the Pyramids where he had awakened, hoping to find some clue as to who he used to be and why his sadness had such a hold on him. The mummy had invited the prodigal explorer to assist in the dig, and since Ezreal had found his amulet from one such pyramid there was no way he could refuse. That and he didnt want to disappoint the sad mummy. As much as he liked and respected Amumu he was a real drag sometimes due to his depression infecting those around him. Not that it was his fault of course, and he had learned to rein it in a bit, so people werent affected as before.
Once the expedition had gotten underway it was found that there once was a large civilization in the Shurima Desert made of yordles and humans and it was them who had built the magnificent pyramids. Amumu had tried to remember which pyramid and which sarcophagus he woken up in but his years of wandering before joining the League had faded his memories.
Ezreals job was to scout ahead of the archeological team and map out the areas, marking anything that might be of any interest. It was long and bitter work but for the young explorer he would have it no other way. He had just finished one such excursion before returning to the surface camp.
Ezreal, good timing I just heard a nice bit of information for you. Amumu had been waiting for him playing with bit of bandage to pass the time.
Oh, what would that be? Ezreal had asked doing his best to hold back a sudden wave of sadness coming from the mummys presence.
We have received word from the Institute of War and from Bandle City that there have been strange weather patterns to the east of here near the Tempest Flats. Recently, there was a huge earthquake in the area. Amumu went on, the bandage around his foot flopping around as they moved towards the mess tent. Most notably there have been several strands of never before seen magic seeping from that area. Amumu looked at the food being served, since he was undead he didnt need to eat or drink, but he still liked to look at the food nonetheless.
Really, near the Tempest Flats, isnt that where Icathia is supposedly located? He filled a mug with some coffee and a grabbed a sandwich Well supposedly anyway. He took a small bite of the sandwich grimaced and sighed. Why did the Institute send this information? He was about to take another bite but decided against it.
Well they wanted to know if you would like to have first dibs on the area. The mummy said matter-of-factly, eyeing the sandwich. Ezreal handed the sandwich to his friend and the undead yordle happily accepted.
Why me though? Dont they have a wealth of people to investigate? Ezreal asked he took a sip of his coffee which was more bearable.
Well you are a champion and champions get top priorities in many situations, this being one of them. Amumu took a bite of the sandwich, besides I figure you of all people would love to have a chance to explore the ruins of the great lost city.
Ezreal really didnt have a comeback to that. Even if the earthquake uncovered clues to the mystery of Icathia, which would make it dangerous as, well hell really considering it is supposed to be the point where the Voidborne originate. It was still in a location no one had really explored yet; a tantalizing prospect to the Master Pathfinder.
The mummy saw the spark of exploration in his fellow archeologists eyes. If you want, you can go and do a little digging around out there. The mummy said taking another bite out of the sandwich.
Are you sure? I mean you asked me to come out here and help. Ezreal said trying not to sound too hopeful.
You have helped your expertise in the field of archeology and cartography has allowed us to move faster than we ever thought possible. However, work is still a slow process and it will still take us days to catch up. If you want to, feel free to do a little side project. Ezreal nodded.
If you insist. He smiled the prospect of studying a never before seen land was just too good to pass up. Any doubts he had earlier were washed away by the mere thought of that.
Amumu finished his sandwich and it seemed a thought struck him. He turned on his saddest gaze, You will come back though, right?
************************************************** ***********************************
After loading up on a few provisions from camp and saying his goodbyes to a few of the members of the expedition he set off. Amumu had assured him that he would send off a message to the Institute and to Bandle City that he was beginning his explorations.
Making it to the Tempest Flats from the pyramids of Shurima Desert on foot was just a few days journey or so. The desert itself wasnt so bad, travelling at night when it was cool and resting during the day in rock formation and caves was simple enough. The real problem was going to be the Flats themselves. While it can get pretty cold at night in the desert, the flats offered no real protection to the biting cold winds that gave the flats its name. However, the explorer had been in worse conditions before and this adventure would be no different. Except, of course, his current predicament.
He did his best to conserve as much water as he could trekking through the desert but somewhere along the way he miscalculated how much he was actually drinking and his water supply was dangerously close to empty. He wasnt above recycling water but he would most certainly prefer to keep that as a last resort. He continued scanning the horizon and spotted a dark shadow out in the distance. Using his looking glass he spotted a few bushes and some small trees.
Better than nothing I suppose. He said to a rock who seemed particularly interested. In a place like the flats trees and shrubberies have a hard time growing, so a small alcove of them could mean some kind of water source. What seemed like a long walk later and he had arrived at a small spring. He dipped his amulet into the water to purify it. When he was satisfied that it was safe enough to drink he filled he canteens with as much water as he could and gratefully began drinking some of the refreshing water. He leaned against a tree to catch his breath and get a little rest.
He woke from his revelry with a start. Something was off. It was as if something was out of place; that something was watching him. His survival instincts kicked in and he rolled out of the way just in time. A bolt of magical energy crashed against the tree trunk he was leaning against. Ezreal fired back in the direction the bolt came from but hit only branches. He ran in what he assumed was back the way he came. His attacker reappeared and fired another shot but since Ezreal was running the shot went wild.
No skill at all! He shouted at his flickering opponent. The magic this guy was using was so uncontrolled that even without his amulet Ezreals innate magical prowess could track his erstwhile attacker. His opponent was reappearing again but this time Ezreal was ready for him. He teleported behind his enemy and shot him in the back. This stopped his opponent long enough for Ezreal to line up another shot, but when he saw his enemys face he was taken aback. It was himself, in a matter of speaking.
Now, Ezreal had fought himself before on the Fields of Justice. Whenever two summoners on different sides would summon the same Champion a complete copy would form, although it was more to it than that. The copy would be the Champion in every essence. Being copied was always a fairly painful experience but recombining was also quite nauseating. Everything either of them did would be remembered once the two became whole again. The memories would come flooding back all at once and it was usually enough to bring Ezreal to his knees.
The doppelganger standing before him was no mere copy. On the Fields of Justice seeing your double always brought along a feeling of familiarity. This person or creature was not familiar to anything Ezreal had seen before. He was Ezreal but twisted. His hair was pitch black, his skin was an unearthly shade of bluish purple. His clothing appeared to almost be alive; a swirling mass of faces twisted and churned in terror and agony. The things that struck Ezreal the most about his clone were his eyes, which were a ghastly shade of yellow which seemed to drain the life of everything around them. The other thing was his amulet; it was a deep shade of dark red that seemed to pulse with raw power. Ezreal looked at his own amulet. It allowed him to tap into his own magic prowess without the need for actual training. By this creatures fighting style it seemed to just blast raw magic with the amulet without really trying to aim. Ezreal figured that that would make things easier for him.
Ezreal teleported away and shot a bolt back at his enemy. The creature countered by firing his own. The bolts collided in midair and resulted in a large explosion. Despite being a fair distant from the explosion Ezreal was still blown back a bit. His doppelganger fared worse being closer to the blast as he staggered back up.
Ezreal jumped on top of a large rock and turned to face his opponent. He didnt think he had inflicted that much damage on his opponent but his copy was beginning to look worse for the ware.
His enemy fired a shot but it was way off target smashing harmlessly against the rock Ezreal was standing on. Ezreal fired back his shot more precise catching his attacker high in the chest. The other Ezreal staggered, a look that the real one assumed was pain spread across its face.
So you do feel pain. Good to know. Ezreal taunted. The copy just smiled revealing a row of sharp pointy teeth. The doppelganger brought up his amulet glove and said something in a language Ezreal had never heard before, and the amulet began to glow.
Oh, dregs Ezreals body was already moving even before he realized what was going on. He ducked behind the rock just as the barrage smashed against it. Luckily the bulk of the attacks energy was wasted, hitting and passing through the boulder, but the magic still carried forward. Ezreal was hit hard by the attack. Excruciating pain began to blossom from his right shoulder and blood started to seep into his explorers tunic but Ezreal counted himself lucky, had his opponent had a bit more finesses in aiming that blow would have ended the battle for sure.
My turn! Ezreal stood taking his left hand off his wound which caused more blood to spill though his tunic. The copy let out a warcry, bloodlust had taken over throwing good sense out the window. The creature charged toward him again, still not nearly as fast as it was at the beginning of this skirmish but still fairly agile. Blast, it must have recovered some, Ezreal thought; I only have one shot at this, better make it count. Ezreal aimed his own glove at his advancing copy, taking great care to make sure this would hit. He waited, watching for that perfect moment to strike. Just as the doppelganger began to close the gap between the two of them Ezreal took his shot.
Trueshot! The magic blast smashed the clone in the head sending it reeling backwards in midair. It landed sprawled out on the grassy surface of the flats. Ezreal staggered, the attack and blood loss was taking a toll on his body. He used a little bit of magic to cauterize the wound but he was going to need some rest after this. He limped over to the body of his clone, the adrenaline from the fight slowly leaving his body, causing him to feel the true pain of his bodys exhaustion. To his horror his copy was still alive, if only barely. It growled at him muttering something in that alien langue that Ezreal had heard before.
I dont know what you are but the world can only handle so much of me. Ezreal charged his latent magical energy into his glove and made a fist. The creature didnt seem scared to him, more angry than anything.
Accept your fate. Ezreal brought his fist down on the creatures head but only hit grass and soil. The would-be sound of the creatures skull cracking and splitting was met with the silence of the flats. The creature had disappeared.

Fixed that first part for you.The law as present is not thrown out by the Supreme C. - except DC's. The rest aren't undecided Constitutionally - they are unchallenged in their Constitutional status. We have a very definite "hint", though, what would need to be shown for a future case to be considered a Constitutional issue to begin with: because the Decision states that restrictions are not inherently against the 2nd Amendment just because they are a restriction: "Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited and it's limits have yet to be fully defined (or, if you like so far)".
I can't prove it because it's theoretical, but what Razorback just pointed to is very likely true of Mag capacity, it's a possible Legislative issue, not at all likely a Constitutional one - (unless the limit was at 1 or 2 rounds). At present Arizona's law which, I take it, doesn't restrict mag-capacity is Constitutional, and so is New York's and other areas' present limit to 10. Changes if any will be by the legislature through community pressure by the majority. This thread has lately been concentrating on the Constitution, because some have claimed limit violates the 2nd and that's the end of it.

Auto Meter Gauges
Just as a physician uses instruments like a thermometer, stethoscope, and blood pressure monitor to measure the health of your body, gauges measure the health of your vehicle. They're your window into the fuel, oil, and other systems that your vehicle depends on to operate at its best. For the most accurate data possible, don't trust anything but Auto Meter gauges as the company uses advanced engineering to create the most precise instruments available.

Auto Meter founder Vern Westberg was a pioneer in auto instrumentation. He started the business in his home in 1957 with his first product, an electric tachometer. The business grew and by the 1960s he added a new timing light, dwell tach, and diesel engine tach. In 1970, Auto Meter introduced its famous "Monster" tachometer, so named because its large 5" display gave racers precise engine rpm data that was easy to read at a glance.
The company is headquartered in Sycamore, Illinois, where it operates a 45,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility with a world class ISO 9000:TS 16949 Certified Quality System, advanced engineering team, and unrivaled product technology. Primarily focused on performance and racing instrumentation and electronics for the automotive aftermarket, Auto Meter also has an OEM division that makes products for production vehicles, and a test equipment division that manufactures a complete line of equipment for testing, charging, and maintaining batteries, and testing the vehicle charging system.
No other manufacturer can equal Auto Meter's extensive range of gauge types, styles and features. The company offers a wide range of gauges to monitor familiar data like oil pressure, coolant temperature, charging system voltage, and fuel level, but they also have an extensive selection of more specialized instruments for measuring boost pressure, brake pressure, fuel rail pressure, nitrous pressure, differential temperature, air/fuel ratio, and much more.
Full sweep electric gauges are the best available, powered by digital, microprocessor controlled rugged stepper motor drives and laboratory grade solid state sending units for extreme precision. Short sweep electric gauges feature simple, 3-wire installation, with electric sending units that keep hazardous fluids in the engine compartment and signal quick reacting, precise air core movements. Bright, LED lit digital gauges use microprocessor controlled displays for the ultimate in precise, high-tech readings, and full sweep mechanical gauges have durable nylon gearing that have made them a proven performance favorite.
Auto Meter's vast range of gauge styles ensures that there's a gauge for every taste and purpose, no matter whether you're building a street rod, monster truck, low-rider, cruiser, or all out racer, or restoring a classic or muscle car. And because the way a gauge looks and the ease with which it can be read are so important at night, Auto Meter offers 2 forms of gauge lighting. Instruments with perimeter incandescent lighting use white bulbs to create soft light around the edge of the dial and reflect off of a 3-dimensional pointer for illumination that's easy on the eyes, while instruments with through-the-dial and full dial LED lighting feature bright, crisp, and distinctly illuminated numbers, increments, and a glowing lit pointer.
Bought 3 auto Meter gauges.All work great & look good.Very pleased.

For over fifty years, the LHS has operated as a private, non-profit organization, caring for lost and homeless animals. Last year, we cared for about 1,800 animals. By operating an open admission facility, we accept every stray or unwanted animal surrendered to us from the Lynchburg community. We accept those that are easily adoptable as pets, as well as those that need special nurturing from abusive or neglectful experiences. We firmly believe that every animal deserves a second chance. Mission: The Lynchburg Humane Society is dedicated to helping Lynchburg's pets through sheltering, adoption, spay/neuter programs, education and community outreach. The following are available volunteer opportunities.
Adoption Counselor (additional training needed) – Greet and assist potential adopters in pet selection, explain adoption policies, answer questions, remove pets from cages/runs and allow potential adopters to interact with animal. Time Commitment = one Saturday or weekday per month.
Cat Playmate – come give the cats the attention they so crave and deserve. Come play with them out of the cage to ensure they are receiving enough exercise and stress relief. The shelter environment is very stressful for cats so help them feel more at home and help us keep them healthy.
Dog Socialization & Grooming (additional training needed) – Exercise and socialize dogs to increase adoptability; bathe and groom animals to make them more comfortable and adoptable. Assist the public with visiting with the dogs and help them find new homes.
Kennel Assistant (additional on the job training) – Clean small animal cages, clean dog and puppy runs. Feed and water animals. Don't forget the treats, toys and blankets. Help give our animals a healthy pleasant place to live. Needed any morning of the week.
Off-Site Events– We have many events through out the year. Sign up to be on our email list to be notified on upcoming events. They range from adoption events to fundraising events. Most happen on the weekend and we need your help or these events can't happen. The more volunteers we have the more animals we can take to get adopted.
Dog Walking/Outings- (after you are a dog walker) – Take a dog out for a day of fun and adventure. Put the dog in an adopt me vest, sign the dog out for the day and head to a local park, coffee shop or downtown. Give your favorite dog a little bit more exposure and allow them a nice break from the shelter. See Kim or Lori if you are interested.
TNR Trapper – (additional training needed) A new program was established to provide free spay/neuter and a rabies shots to feral (wild) and free roaming (stray) cats that are reproducing in the City of Lynchburg in the following zip codes: 24501, 24502 and 24504. We have enough funds to fix 2,000 cats for free. All cats will have their ear tipped. Helping involves setting the traps, retrieving the traps and helping at the clinic, and helping distributing fliers.
Humane Educators – (additional training needed) Visiting schools, youth groups and community organizations and educating them on the importance of responsible animal care and kindness toward other creatures.

OBIC's mission is to bring together the body of Christ by hosting events and ministries that Christians of different denominations can come together and minister to the public. We use our 160 acre facility to host community groups and events where Christians can come here on this mission field to minister to them. The Liberty students who volunteer here help us maintain the facility and the animals as well as help us host events and clubs where they have a chance to minister themselves to the community that comes here.

Mission statement: The HSCC does not have a public animal care facility, we are a group of caring volunteers who work from a private facility & our homes. Our goal is to reduce the numbers of unwanted, lost and stray animals euthanized in our county by increasing adoptions, and promoting spays and neuters of companion pets. We do this through adoption fairs at the Lynchburg Petsmart, and through transport of animals to other rescues and shelters. We also use foster caregivers for intermediate care of animals who are being treated for disease, or who have had surgery and are waiting for forever homes.

Providing fresh dressed turkeys to the Northern Illinois area for over 80 years. These big, beautiful tom turkeys are some of the thousands that are range grown here on the Kauffman Turkey Farm. The turkeys are grown from one day of age until they are dressed in the farm's federally inspected plant. They raise their birds with the emphasis on quality. This means that the turkeys grow more slowly and develop a richer flavor and denser texture.

Imagine a golden ball of Midwestern sun breaking on the horizon. As the night dew still clings to the vines and the grass in the pastures, a farm comes to life with the sights and sounds of morning.

and it looks as if it reads 1.020? The temperature of the mead reads about 72.8 from the infrared thermometer. I didn't have the hydrometer on hand when I started (newbie here) so I just drew a sample (everything sanitized that would come in contact with the mead) and this is day 9 since the pitching of the yeast. It has taken on a different smell, it was a little stronger a few days ago (I could smell it coming out from the airlock if I put my nose up to it.) I am sick though at the moment so I'm probably not getting all the smells. The ingredients I did for this are: about 1/8th of a cup of powderized tea leaves 3 lbs of unboiled raw honey 1 gallon spring water and a 7 oz packet of Red star active dry yeast which was rehydrated in the 105 degree F water with some of the must(I actually bought a packet at the grocery store and upon further reading realized it might create more of CO2 than alcohol. It will still be alcohol though right? It just might not be as strong?) I looked at the slip of paper that came in the tube but I don't understand how I'm suppose to appropriately make up for the difference in temperature? It lists: 52.2 = -0.001 60 is neutral 66.6 = +0.001 and 72.4 +0.002 So is it every 5.8 degrees F I add 0.001?

We have lived nearby for many years - yet this is the first visit that we have ever made. We have been missing out! Conducted tours with guides who know what they are talking about. Limited opening Summer Season.
A lucky find as we did the non motorway route home from the New Forest. The cheese counter had vast selection and we were glad to sample before we bought some Stinking Bishop. Our dog liked watching the hens as we had a cream tea with generous sized scones. Would return if we passed by.
Having visited Stratfield Saye some years ago, my wife and I couldn't remember much of our last visit. This visit was well worth it. The weather was fine which meant we were able to explore the grounds. There are guided tours of the house, but you will not be disappointed. The two guides we had were very informative and it... More
My friend & I came to visit as it was in the vicinity of Highclere Castle. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Stratfield Saye House, the guides were very knowledgeable and brought the family's story to life. The carriage which transported the Duke's coffin to St Paul's Cathedral is stored in one of the outhouses, so you can see how... More
Our guided tour was most enjoyable, lasted just over an hour. Only 5 of us on the tour (weather wasn't very nice). Tea room not very big & didn't accept cards, I think it could be very busy on a nice day. We had rain so couldn't look around the grounds or walled gardens but we are HHA members so... More
The house itself is stunning and has a lot of art, rooms and furniture to look at. The guides are very knowledgeable (although not paid as well as they should be for their knowledge…) The grounds are also stunning and well kept. Nice, but an expensive outing, even when booked as a group
We arrived when the gates opened to 11.30am. We were booked on the first guided tour at 11.50am.The group was only10 and the guides could not have been more knowledgeable. This is a really great house which is lived in by the son and family of the Duke who is now 99 years old and lives on the estate. This... More
After eventually finding the house, not sign posted from the village of Stratfield Saye, we arrived at 11.50 for the 12noon tour, which according their website the first one of the day (guided tours only) only to be told it was sold out and the next available one was at 1pm. There had been earlier tours at 11.15 & 11.40am... More
We recently made our third visit to Stratfield Saye. My husband is a great fan of military history and the Duke of Wellington is his specialist subject! Each time we've visited there has been something new or different to see. We had a superb guide who was a font of information, and highly entertaining. Following the formal tour of the... More
We popped in for a late lunch after a day shopping in a rather busy Reading There is plenty of parking here, what a joy to be away from the crowds in this farm setting Unfortunately as for lunch, although we were just in time, there would have been a half hour wait. On one hand I was pleased that... More

Iron Mike . . . 1977 and 53′ loa . . . has lots of character
although I don't know what engine/horsepower moves her. Anyone?
Haggerty Girls . . . late 2013 and a surprising 110′ and 4000 hp . . . with RTC60 must be the newest tug in the sixth boro. Click here for a photo of her first arrival in NYC.
If we were talking birds, Pacific Reliance (red stacks) would be called an exotic, not common to this habitat. Pacific Reliance . . . built in 2006 and 121′ loa uses 9280 hp to move her payload. Alongside is Quantico Creek, 90′ loa launched in 2010 and rated at 3000 hp.
Brooklyn, 76′ loa, launched in 2000 with 2000 hp has had lots of identities in her 14 years of service.
And finally . . . dwarfed by the Lower Manhattan skyline in February, it's Pegasus.
Built in 2001, 75′ loa and rated at 1900 hp.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, yesterday, thanks to mobility by New York Media Boat. Check them out here.
November 2009, not very long after she was delivered from the Thoma-Sea yard.
September 2013
January 2014 . . . Peter F. Gellatly has seen some subtle exterior changes.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp.
Darell T. Gilbert took this foto . . . a hot air balloon over the water in Red Hook around the 5th of January. WTF?!@#@!! Anyone know the story?
Thanks to Sam Zapadinsky . . . can you identify this creature walking on the icy upper Hudson? Coyote? Here's a post from a few years ago of eagles on the mostly frozen river.
Sam also took this foto from the tug Frances, which
is the forwardmost tug in this foto by Bob Dahringer. Frances and Kathleen Turecamo move crude oil tanker Afrodite into the dock in Albany, one of many water tasks that happens whether the temperatures are 0 or 100.
And finally, Mike Abegg took this foto of Alice Oldendorff in the Brooklyn Navy yard, taking on
fuel. Quantico Creek and a Dann Marine boat (either Chesapeake or Discovery Coast) assist with this operation in the ice-choked area around the docks.
Thanks much to Darell, Sam, Bob, and Mike for these fotos.
Click here for Bob Dahringer's YouTube videos, recently with a lot of ice.
Check this video report on USCG ice-breaking in the upper Hudson as well as this one of Ellen McAllister shifting ships safely on cold days.
Now here from Harbin, China is a completely other reaction to cold weather.
Finally, a relatively close-up foto of Katherine.
Bruce A. McAllister pushes through the snowflakes, as do
Blue Fin . . . still gray,
Brooklyn and Patapsco,
and finally Pegasus.
And finally . .. escuse the poor quality, but these are cam-captures of Miss Lis at the Gatun Locks last Thursday, six days ago. Although it's not legible here, the container at the bow of the barge reads "FLUOR." Let's keep a watch for this tow at the Narrows in the next few days . . . from the Left Coast and headed here for the Tappan Zee project, I presume.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp.
OK, here's tomorrow's post today . . . Wednesday's news coming on Tuesday. The snow happened today, so let's see it today.
Here was 3. And another snowy post. The first three fotos here come compliments of Brian DeForest. Here, hanging on the wall are Hunting Creek and Coastline Bay Star.
Davis Sea–I believe–is practically invisible to the naked eye. Here was Davis Sea as a K-Sea vessel almost four years ago.
Scotty Sky passing alongside the aptly named Alpine Loyalty.
Brooklyn at the #9 buoy.
And Hoechst Express inbound from sea.
By late morning, the snow was slowing down in the sixth boro, here on the landside of Gage Paul Thornton and Thornton Bros.
Many thanks to Brian DeForest for the top three fotos; the others by Will Van Dorp.
Snow is snow and not the same is ice, but cold weather makes me want to keep a watch on this site for the Hudson River Ice Yacht Club, which always has the news on iceboating in the Hudson Valley.
I took these fotos Friday before the winds started.
Viking . . . . To see how she's evolved over the past 41 years, click here.
Brooklyn was previously a fleetmate of Viking. For her history, click here.
Above and below . . . it's Huron Service, which recently got new paint as well. Here's an overview–possibly out of date–of routes served by Genesis Energy.
Clearly, from the foto, to say commerce USED to happen on the Gowanus Canal . . . uses the wrong verb tense. Here, from L to R, it's Shawn Miller, Samantha Miller, Miss Ayva, and Diane B.
Finally, and still in Gowanus Bay, it's Discovery Coast and
Potomac and Hunting Creek.
Stay inside or at least firmly attached to something substantial.
March 2011,
March 2010, and
… can it be and not in Kirby white but
Vane classic green?
the LongIsland-built tug with a Louisiana name, Houma! And pushing DBL 25!
All fotos today by Will Van Dorp.
. . . sometimes aka Kate's Light. And I did a Katherine Walker post here without including the light in that post. So here's my attempt at amends. All Robbins Reef today . . .
The tug Robbins Reef is an ex-army tug, sibling of 8th Sea, built in 1953 in Fells Point at American Electric Welding. Can anyone add info on the former American Electric Welding shipyard? National also appears to be a sibling, but I am starting to digress.
Back to the light by that name . . . in the distance.
See you at the Noble Maritime auction tonight, I hope.
Sunrise to the left of Coney Island Light and tug Escort, a Jakobson boat. Note how calm the water is.
The mighty Resolute passing the lofty Chesapeake Coast, with a loftier tower off in the distance.
James Turecamo–a Matton boat– tailing Stolt Aquamarine
Gulf Dawn with GL 54
Escort six hours after the lead foto . . notice what 22+ knot wind out of the west does. That's Taft Beach disappearing behind the island.
And Potomac heads eastbound. I'm thinking to use Robbins Reef light as the terminal punctuation for all posts this week. Do you remember these signs that used a product name in the same way? I'm gathering if you are over 55 and a US resident, you'll know about Burma Shave. Otherwise, you'll think I've lost it again.
All fotos by Will Van Dorp, this morning.
And check out this Staten Island Advance story on Robbins Reef light rehab work, featuring my foto!

is then a cause for concern. A substantial fire can grow from ignition of a connector shell, as shown in this demonstration.

Aralam wildlife sanctuary is the northernmost protected area of Kerala state, situated in the southeast part of Kannur District. It lies between 11° 54 and 11° 59 North latitude and 75° 47 and 75° 57 East longitude.
The sanctuary area falls in Aralam, Kelakam and Kottiyoor revenue villages and is located in the Northwest slopes of Western Ghats contiguous with the forests of Coorg (Kodagu) district of Karnataka state.
The PA (Protected Area) is comprised of Aralam Range, the only Range of Aralam wildlife division, which is part of Northern Wildlife Circle (Northern Region) Palakkad. The extent of the sanctuary is 55 km2 .
The sanctuary was constituted in the year 1984 as per GO (P) 300/84/AD dated 15-10-84.
It was formed by carving out areas from the Odanthode Malavaram of Thalassery special division which was an erstwhile private forest, subsequently taken over by Govt. as per the provisions of the Kerala Private Forests (Vesting and assignment) Act 1971 and from the Kottiyoor RF of Wayanad Forest Division.
The Vested Forest portion of the sanctuary is 32.64 km2 and the 22.36 km2 is part of Kottiyoor RF (Reserved Forest).
Till 30.6.98 this sanctuary was a Range in Wayanad Wildlife Division. It started functioning as an independent wildlife division since 1.7.98 as per GO (MS) 36/98 dated 27.5.98.
In the First Management Plan the entire area was divided in to two zones viz: the Core Zone and the Buffer Zone.
Odamthodu - Valayamchal Road Inaugurated
The road connecting Odamthodu and Valayamchal has been inaugurated by Sri. Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, Minister for Home affairs and Tourism, Govt. of Kerala. Smt. KK Shylaja teacher MLA, presided over the function held at the sanctuary. The road will be benificial for the tribals inhabited in the area and the visitors to the Sanctuary.
Interpretation Centre Inaugurated
The website of Aralam Wildlife sanctuary and the Interpretation Centre built in the sanctuary has been officially inaugurated by Hon. Minister for Forest and Housing, Sri Benoy Viswam. Smt. KK Shylaja teacher presided over the function held at Valayamchal. Various social and political leaders delivered felicitation speeches.

Crapped out? I guess that depends on what you expected the outcome to be.
I don't view it as a success, because ultimately I would have hoped for something tangible to have come from it. But neither do I consider it a failure. It did succeed in finally putting all the key players into a room with plenty of opportunity to provide the American people an honest and open forum to see what each side has to offer.
It reinforced what I thought all along, that the Republicans are providing nothing and actually are a hindrance to advancement. The most important thing the Republicans could have done is offered enough workable solutions to keep the Democrats honest in how they advance with this, because it will advance one way or the other.
Instead all they could do is defend the non-defendable. McCain sat there providing us with a visual idea of why we should be thankful he's not President. The rest could only offer the most lame of solutions: Start over again.
I will now support Obama and his partners in almost any attempt they take to fix this mess. First thing I hope they do is subpoena the financial records of the largest Healthcare Insurance companies and give those of us who pay into this financial trap a clear indication of how much of our yearly premiums actually go towards healthcare and how much goes towards lining the pockets of key players and other wasteful practices at our expence.

Submarine RSS Swordsman returns to Changi Naval Base from Sweden
Published on Dec 31, 2012 2:39 PM
THE Republic of Singapore Navy's second Archer-class submarine, RSS Swordsman, arrived at Changi Naval Base from Sweden earlier today.
Chief of Navy, Rear-Admiral Ng Chee Peng, and other senior naval officers were present at the naval base to witness its return.
Launched in Karlskrona, Sweden, on Oct 20 in 2010, RSS Swordsman is one of two ex-Royal Swedish Navy Västergötland-class submarines that Singapore acquired in 2005.
Similar to RSS Archer, the RSN's first Archer-class submarine, RSS Swordsman has been comprehensively upgraded, refurbished and tropicalised to ensure its suitability for operations in local conditions.

The Chief Counsel memo [PDF 91 KB] addresses a situation when the controlled foreign corporation (CFC) made an invalid section 953(d) election (invalid, generally, because the CFC would not have qualified to be treated as an insurance company for U.S. domestic tax purposes) and the U.S. shareholder did not file Form 5471. Among the issues was whether the statute of limitations on assessment was still open.
*The memorandum is legal advice, signed by executives in the National Office of the Office of Chief Counsel and issued to IRS personnel who are national program executives and managers. The memo is issued to assist IRS personnel in administering their programs by providing authoritative legal opinions on certain matters, such as industry-wide issues. It is not to be used or cited as precedent.
The taxpayer is a U.S. shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation (CFC).
The CFC "purportedly" made an election under section 953(d) to be treated as a domestic corporation and elected under section 831(b)(2)(A) to pay an alternative tax based only on its taxable investment income.
The taxpayer paid annual amounts, designated as "premiums," to the CFC in exchange for what "was purported to be insurance coverage" with respect to the taxpayer's business risks.
The CFC filed annually a Form 1120-PC, U.S. Property and Casualty Insurance Company Income Tax Return, and excluded the premiums it received, from gross income, for U.S. income tax purposes.
The taxpayer deducted the premiums paid to the CFC, and did not include its pro rata share of the CFC's subpart F income and did not file Form 5471, Information Return of U.S Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations.
During an examination of the CFC, the IRS concluded that the CFC did not qualify as an insurance company under subchapter L (because it would not qualify if the CFC were a domestic company). The IRS found, thus, that the CFC was not eligible to make an election under section 953(d) and that, as a result, the election was invalid.
The questions presented focused on what would be the tax consequences of an invalid section 953(d) election—and the effect of this invalid election on the statute of limitations for assessment and on the obligations of the U.S. shareholders to file Form 5471.

Here's the original truck:
Step 1:
Trace out the wheel and fender. Cut it to a new layer.
Step 2:
Trace out the back wheel and fender as well and cut to it's own layer. Repeat for each visible wheel (including the wheels in the background). Each wheel should be in its own layer.
Step 3:
Select the primary layer. Using the move tool, shrink the horizontal size to about 40-50% of its original size. Notice that the wheels cut to another layer are not affected by the resize.
Step 4:
Position the wheels over their original spots. Don't resize yet. You want the wheels to remain at their original size. As you can see from the picture below, the fenders are too large. So we need to trace them out and cut them to their own layer.
Step 5:
Trace out the fender and cut it to its own layer. You want it in its own layer so that it can be resized without affecting the tire. It doesn't have to perfectly follow the line of the fender. Just get it somewhere between the tire and the fender, without touching either.
Step 6:
Resize the fender. You don't want the fender its original size. Just look for something in between where you are now and its original size. It's okay if it covers the door. Note that it defaults to below the tire layer (it covers the tire and looks wrong). After sizing, I move the tire layer so it's below the fender. That way the tire is the primary thing you see.
Step 7:
With the eraser tool, trim away any portion on the tire layer that doesn't look right. In this case, I have a black fenderwell that is covering the fender and there is some pavement that is a different shade. Also trim away anything that should be covered by a fender (e.g. front of the front fender). Repeat step 5, 6, & 7 for the rear tire.
Step 8: Position the tires on the opposite side of the truck, if any. Also, clone any missing parts (e.g. pavement, fender/body mismatches).
Step 9:
The truck is complete. Merge the visible layers down. If the user wants the truck in a different background, trace out the truck and move it to the desired background.

Number of vacations we have planned: 0
Hometown: San Jose, Costa Rica
About Me: Growing up in a family that encouraged a healthy relationship with nature led me to be the outdoor enthusiast that I am today. I enjoy spending as much time as possible taking pictures & backpacking. That´s how I´ve gotten to know almost every corner of Costa Rica. When not outdoors, I enjoy cooking. I have a passion for helping people feel whole. For me, seeing the look on people's faces when they're fully enjoying all that nature has to offer is one of the most gratifying experiences possible.
My Favorite Thing: Tough to name just one thing! But the overall 'pura vida' feeling you get being here, it's just a wonderful feeling! The people, the nature, the weather, the wildlife, the beaches, the sheer beauty & uniqueness... Green, GREEN, GREEN! I love the verdant rich lovely shades of GREEN!
My Top Tips: Road conditions throughout the country may vary a lot. With the tropical climate & mountainous terrain, many roads are difficult to maintain, & many have never been paved. Relatively short distances can take many hours due to poor road conditions or traffic. It is always a good idea to check with the locals about travelling times or current road conditions before planning a day trip or taking off in your rental car.

During re-entry, also on autopilot, there was no communication between her ship and the ground, and she ended up landing in an unexpected place. She said there had been a communications equipment failure, but the team on the ground blamed her for going silent.
Tereshkova's role in the flight's problems may never be completely known. The Soviets certainly had engineering challenges with their rockets, including one which led to the only three deaths in space. (Both the Challenger and Columbia disasters happened inside Earth's atmosphere, thus not technically "in space.")
Memoirs from other members of the Soviet space team have blamed Tereshkova for her problematic mission, but the idea that she was forced against her will seems unlikely to be true. If the avid skydiver had changed her mind at the last minute, she could easily have stepped aside in favor of one of the other four female cosmonauts who had shared her 7 months of rigorous training.
In fact, the Soviets originally planned to launch two women in overlapping flights: Tereshkova first, in Vostok 5, and then Valentina Ponomaryova a few days later in Vostok 6. Though the Soviets did succeed in having two cosmonauts in space at the same time, the final plan included Tereshkova in Vostok 6 following Valery Bykovsky, who had launched two days earlier.
When Tereshkova's solo ship passed close to Mr. Bykovsky's Vostok 5, they chatted and even sang songs together, until their ships got too far apart for communication.
Tereshkova was probably selected to fly because of her experience with weightlessness: prior to joining the cosmonaut program, she had completed dozens of successful parachute jumps. Not only did that give her experience with the sensation of freefall, which she experienced throughout her three days in space, but the Soviet rockets completed re-entry with the cosmonauts bailing out of the re-entry vessel and parachuting onto the ground, making her experience doubly helpful. Her cosmonaut training included another 120 parachute jumps.

A quick comparison, for your information.
Here's what I see when I view Bioshock Infinite in the Steam store, from Australia:
And here's what I see through Google's cached page of the store as viewed from the USA:
Anyone notice any discrepancies? Say about TWENTY FUCKING DOLLARS OF DISCREPANCY?!
This is not a currency issue. The Australian dollar is currently stronger than the US dollar (USD59.99 equates to less than AUD59) and they are charging in US dollars besides.
This is not a logistics issue. There are no shipping or packaging costs involved for a digitally distributed game.
I love Steam, I really do. And I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. So if anyone can explain to me why this price gouging is necessary, I am all ears.
Otherwise, I'm going to be buying a physical copy of the PC version from the USA. Even with shipping costs, it'll work out cheaper.
This is why I started importing video games when I was 12 years old. This is why I've had consoles modded to play imported games, and it's a big part of why why region locked games and DRM bullshit drive me mad. I don't pirate games and I don't intend to. But I shouldn't have to put up with being reamed on pricing just because of the country I happen to be living in right now.
I can't make a huge difference on my own, but for whatever small part it plays, I'll vote with my wallet. And I'll encourage everyone I know to do the same.

sash positions needed. For example, if the users will need to sometimes use the hood with vertical sash fully open, then the test criteria should be for 100% sash opening.
It may be prudent to set the acceptance criteria with the sash 100% open and 80% open, ensuring adequate containment at both of these positions.
9.C.2.8.6 Instrumentation
Anemometers and other instruments used to measure face velocity must be accurate in order to supply meaningful data. Instruments should be calibrated at least once a year and the calibration should be National Institute of Standards and Technology traceable.
9.C.2.8.7 Additional Exposure Monitoring
If there is any concern that a laboratory chemical hood or other ventilation device may not provide enough protection to the trained laboratory personnel, it is prudent to measure worker exposure while the hood is being used for its intended purpose. By conducting personal air-sampling using traditional industrial hygiene techniques, worker exposure (both excursion peak and time-weighted average) can be measured. The criterion for evaluating the hood should be the desired performance (i.e., does the hood contain vapors and gases at the desired worker-exposure level?). A sufficient number of measurements should be made to define a statistically significant maximum exposure based on worst-case operating conditions. Direct-reading instruments may be available for determining the short-term concentration excursions that may occur in chemical hood use.
9.C.2.9 Laboratory Chemical Hood Design and Construction
When specifying a laboratory chemical hood for use in a particular activity, laboratory personnel should be aware of the design features. Assistance from an industrial hygienist, ventilation engineer, or laboratory consultant is recommended when deciding to purchase a chemical hood.
9.C.2.9.1 General Design Recommendations
Construct laboratory chemical hoods and the associated exhaust ducts of nonflammable materials. Equip them with vertical, horizontal, or combination vertical/horizontal sashes that can be closed. For the glass within the sash, use either laminated safety glass that is at least 7/32-in. thick or other equally safe material that will not shatter if there is an explosion inside. Locate the utility control valves, electrical receptacles, and other fixtures outside the chemical hood to minimize the need to reach within the chemical hood proper. Other specifications regarding the construction materials, plumbing requirements, and interior design vary, depending on the intended use. (See Chapter 7, sections 7.C.1.1 and 7.C.1.2) Information regarding the minimum flow rate through hoods can be found in ANSI Z9.5.
Although chemical hoods are most commonly used to control concentrations of toxic vapors, they can also serve to dilute and exhaust flammable vapors. Although theoretically possible, it is extremely unlikely (even under worst-case scenarios) that the concentration of flammable vapors will reach the lower explosive limit (LEL) in the exhaust duct. However, somewhere between the source and the exhaust outlet of the chemical hood, the concentration will pass through the upper explosive limit and the LEL before being fully diluted at the outlet. Both the designer and the user should recognize this hazard and eliminate possible sources of ignition within the chemical hood and its ductwork if there is a potential for explosion. The use of duct sprinklers or other suppression methods in laboratory hood ductwork is not necessary or desirable.
9.C.2.9.2 Special Design Features
Since the invention of the chemical hood, two major improvements have been made in the design—airfoils and baffles. Include both features on any new purchases.
Airfoils built into the bottom and sides of the sash opening significantly reduce boundary turbulence and improve capture performance. Fit new chemical hoods with airfoils and retrofit any hoods without airfoils
When air is drawn through a laboratory chemical hood without a baffle (see Figure 9.4), most of the air is drawn through the upper part of the opening, producing an uneven velocity distribution across the face opening. All chemical hoods should have baffles. When baffles are installed, the velocity distribution is greatly improved. Adjustable baffles can improve hood performance and are desirable if the adjustments are made by an experienced industrial hygienist, consultant, or technician.
9.C.2.9.3 Laboratory Chemical Hood Airflow Types
The first chemical hoods were simply boxes that were open on one side and connected to an exhaust duct. Since they were first introduced, many variations on this basic design have been made. Six of the major variants in airflow design are listed below with their characteristics. Conventional laboratory chemical hoods are the most common and include benchtop, distillation, and walk-in hoods of the CAV, CAV bypass, nonbypass, and VAV, with or without airfoils. Auxiliary air hoods and ductless chemical hoods are not considered conventional and are used less often.
