or http://www.ticketderby.com/event/?id=9428 (click here)
Come for the beer, stay for the food. Come for the food, stay for the beer. Either way you need to be here.
Most beer festivals are all about standing in line to get your taster and then go and stand in another line for another taster. Food is almost always an afterthought. However, that's not how we do things at the MVCBF Festival. We believe beer AND food are natural partners and we offer a wide variety of both. Our food vendors are all chefs who bring their "A" game to the table. It's part of our unique identity that we refuse to lose.
30 Breweries and a full 20 Chefs… Take a look!.
Chef lineup:
Nicholas Dapper/Amore Cheesecake, Eron Baker/Baker Shake Foods, Stella Midori Makofski and Joe Russo/Bernardo Winery, Steven Molina/Delicias, Hanis Cavin/Carnitas Snack Shack, Teegan Smith/Crown Point Catering, Olivier Bioteau/Farmhouse Cafe, Karl Prohaska/Handlery Hotel, Tyson Blake/O'Briens Pub, Rich Sweeney/R Gang Eatery, Tommy Fraioli/Sea Rocket Bistro, Nathan Farkas/Slaters 50/50, Alex Carballo/Stone World Bistro, Nico Caniglia/Sweiners, Matt Richman/Table 926, Jeff Rossman/Terra, Nate Soroko, Toronado, Mark Liautad/Urge Gastropub, and Nick Brune/Local Habit.
Brewery lineup:
Alesmith, Ballast Point, Belching Beaver, Cold Bore Brewing, Coronado Brewing, El Cajon Brewing, Golden Mead Company, Green Flash Brewing, Hangar 24, Helms Brewing, Hess Brewing, Hillcrest Brewing, Iron Fire Brewing, Karl Strauss, Latitude 33, Lightning, Mad Lab, Manzanita, Monkey Paw, On-the-Tracks, Port Brewing/Lost Abbey, Prohibition, Rough Draft, Saint Archer, San Diego Brewing Co, Societe, Stone, The Beer Company, Thorn St, Wet-n-Reckless.
Those folks will give you what's you'll be eating and drinking. But what are we sticking in your ear? … Here's our band line-up!
-Leading off in our VIP hour will be alternative/popular rock ear candy provided by Danny and the Tramp.
- The middle of the festival will be manned by the dance-hall reggae groove of So*Cal Vibes.
- Closing the show for this stellar line-up will be the beach rock reggae of Split Finger.
And for those of you joining us at the Reef Lounge After Party we're bringing you Safety Orange who have been at three of the four festivals.
Add to that our partnership with Wounded Warrior Homes, and you have a spectacular day of food, beer and fun for a great cause.
Wounded Warrior Homes is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization that serves medically discharged, single men and women of our armed forces with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Our mission is to provide affordable housing, hands-on resources, and a defined path for each member to transition from active-duty military service to independent living as a veteran of foreign wars.
The improvements we made last year are still in full effect:
-VIP Hour- the first hour of the festival will be a limited ticket VIP hour with full access to the chefs and brewers. VIP Ticket holders will receive a free MVCBF tee shirt (while supplies and sizes last)
-BIG festival layout to keep lines from clogging that has allowed us to include more all theses breweries and chefs.
- A large seating area to sit and enjoy all the food, beer, and atmosphere. (this is a biggie)
- Commemorative tasting glasses.
To keep the party rolling, we'll also be hosting an after party in our fabulous Reef Lounge with food and beverage specials and yet another band.
Local Beers. Local Food. Local Music.
30 Brewers; 20 Chefs; 4 Bands; 1 helluva good time….

Love it!!!!
A Fall Getaway Rectangle Programs Everything was amazing. Great quality, very helpful staff. Loved it all!
Excellent products
A Fall Getaway Rectangle Programs Great service department. Excellent quality product.
A Fall Getaway Tea-length Programs The cards came out beautiful. I was very pleased and all my guest loved them. I also enjoyed how easy the creation of this product was compared to many other websites. Price was great as well. I did not like that I did not have a time frame to be able to change the quantity of my purchase.
A Fall Getaway Gate-fold Programs I am completely satisfied with my order! I had hired a professional locally to do my invitations and they were beautiful but expensive. I wanted to find a more affordable option that would compliment the invitations and these couldn't of been a better option!! I love them and also liked the gate fold option I choose as it is different than the traditional one and offered more space than some of the others. Thank you Magnet Street!!
Beautiful Fall Wedding Program
A Fall Getaway Gate-fold Programs Amazing experience ~ we ordered my daughter's wedding program on a Monday evening & they were delivered to our door on Friday. We even had to make a slight change right after submitting the order & they made the change for us! High quality product and the programs will be such a beautiful part of her special day. Thanks so much!

NiteRider MiNewt Pro 750 Light $229.95
Like a second sun that fits in the palm of your hand.
If you do enough night-time riding to warrant investing in a serious lamp, but don't want to carry around a heavy-hitter like the Pro 1500 LED Race Light, NiteRider makes the MiNewt Pro 750 Light just for you. You'll be astounded at how tiny yet how powerful this system really is.
NiteRider uses super efficient CREE emitters in the MiNewt Pro 750 Light. This is how they manage to create a light that pumps out 750 lumens even though it's about the size of a plum. You'll be thinking to yourself that it's a plum of a light after seeing how intuitive and practical it is. The power control is located on the lamp unit rather than on the battery pack. That means you can make adjustments mid-ride without needing to stop and fumble with the battery, no matter where it's located.
The MiNewt Pro 750 Light has four power settings that allow you to chose how strong you want the beam, and consequently how long you want the battery to last before needing to be recharged. At the highest 750 lumens setting, you can count on having 1.5 hours of illumination. With the lower settings you get a slightly dimmer beam, but longer run times: 2.5 hours at 500 lumens, 5 hours at 200 lumens, and 10 hours at 100 lumens. The Li-Ion battery will give you reliable and predictable run times and will take a mere three hours to recharge fully.
The battery comes with an indicator so that you'll know when it's time to recharge the unit. The NiteRider smart charger will make the process a cinch. Nite Rider includes an extension cable in case you need more length between the lamp and the battery pack. The lamp unit can fit on all handlebars up to 31.8mm in diameter. Weighing in at 230 grams for the whole package, the NiteRider MiNewt Pro 750 Light is a perfect option for no-fuss, rapid mounting onto the handlebars.
- Editor's note: also included with this light is a three-hour smart charger to keep your lamp juiced, and an extension cord so you can mount the lamp unit further from the battery if you see fit.

Let There Be Light
Amazing light!!!I run this on the handlebars, but it will easily mount on your helmet with the supplied mount. This baby will light up the trails!! Have you ever seen a police helicopter with its searchlight full on? This light gets pretty close to that. You can also use it as a heater in the winter! During the summer it does run hot, but will dim if it starts overheating. This only happens when your stopped or going extremely slow. Battery life is as advertised. I also run the Stella 300 mounted on my helmet. Niterider also makes what has to be the brightest taillight I have ever seen, the CherryBomb. Highly recommended!

Is this light helmet compatible? From the pictures it looks like it may be.
I just bought this light, it does have a helmet mount that is included.
Great light!
I've had NiteRider products for over 10 years, and they just keep getting brighter, lighter and cheaper every year. This light is half the weight, about 50% brighter for about half the price I paid 2 or so years ago for my TriNewt! Great value! No other lighting systems come close to what they offer.

Shopping in Boston
- Shopping
- Menu
Boston Shopping
Shopping in Boston is a lot like the city itself: a mix of classic and cutting-edge, the high-end and the handmade, and international and local sensibilities. Though many Bostonians think too many chain stores have begun to clog their distinctive avenues, there remains a strong network of idiosyncratic gift stores, handicrafts shops, galleries, and a growing number of savvy, independent fashion
boutiques. For the well-heeled, there are also plenty of glossy international designer shops.
Most stores accept major credit cards and traveler's checks. There's no state sales tax on clothing. However, there's a 6.25% sales tax on clothes priced higher than $175 per item; the tax is levied on the amount in excess of $175.

The newsgroup will be used to post class announcements, answer common questions, make corrections to project phase reports (if needed). Students are encouraged to conduct discussions about class material.
Course Objectives and Description
Advanced Internet-scale applications are geographically distributed, highly available, incrementally scalable, and dynamically reconfiguring. Typical questions that systems researchers and advanced application developers are facing today include: How would you build a web service that can handle billions of frantic requests? What systems support do we need for developing applications of Internet scale? Can we provide dynamic configuration, replication, and migration of Web services? What new techniques will enable Internet systems and applications to better exploit high-speed networks? How should traditional systems issues such as naming, persistence, resource management, performance, and security be provided in a system of Internet scale?
This course reviews concepts, techniques, and systems issues in advanced Internet application development, and explores new challenges and research issues that are critical for developing search engines (incl. robots and indexing servers), Web servers, application servers (such as the E-commerce information servers like eBay, CNet, Amazon), and web-based online transaction systems. Main themes include fundamentals of search engines, web servers, application servers and online transaction systems, especially the important search techniques, indexing techniques, the various means for querying heterogeneous data sources and delivering fresh information from sources to consumers, and the methods for distribution of control to avoid bottlenecks and enhance scalability. One of the important goals of the course is to look beyond the present status of the Internet and conjecture what possible future technologies and applications will evolve. The course will include a significant project component that will typically require Java/C/CGI programming.
Students are expected to have taken Operating Systems (CS2200 or equivalent) and Computer Networks. Parallel and Distributed Systems (CS 4230/6236) and High Performance Parallel Computing (CS 6230) are highly recommended for students interested in doing research in systems or networks. In addition, students are expected to have a solid grasp of Java/C/CGI programming. Sockets programming is not required but desirable.
A detailed description of course structure and administration can be found in Course Introduction.
Grades will be computed using the tentative weighting scheme below:
o Class Participation 15%
o Reading Summaries 20%
o Project Proposal 10%
o Final Project 40%
o Project Presentation 15%
The grading policy can be found in the Course Introduction and FAQ (Important! Read Me).
The course project should be significant (non-trivial) and related in some way to the Internet Application Development. Students may work in groups of up to 2 students per project. You are encouraged to come up with your own project ideas. If you are having trouble, talk to me and I will help you out with some possibilities.
In principle, you can propose anything you wish: implementation, benchmarking, evaluation, interesting Internet applications, etc. People from companies may propose projects related to their work. However, all the project related material must not be proprietary, i.e., I will not sign any non-disclosure agreement just to evaluate a project.
The project proposal is due on Thursday of Feb. 13. You may email your proposal (HTML) to email@example.com with email subject cs8803 project proposal. Based on the proposal, I will negotiate with you the goals of the project, the evaluation criteria, and plan for its execution.
All project presentations are scheduled at the CS8803D workshop on Advanced Internet Application Development. The workshop will be held in four consecutive lectures: April 24, 26, May 3. Each presentation will be limited to 15-20 minutes, including 5 minutes question time. The workshop schedule will be posted on the Web and outside the instructor's office.
Each project will have a demo to the instructor or TA on April 24-May 2. The final project is due by (6pm on May 3 - Hard deadline), with a demo, program listing, code documentation, and a project report.
Important Information (Read me!):
There is no text book required for this course. The course material comes primarily from course notes and a selection of recent papers on advanced Internet application development and related research issues, including search engines, Web servers, Wide-area distributed information systems, and Web database systems. However, there may be text books that you will find useful or even necessary in order to complete your course projects.
The collection of papers will be accessible online or distributed in class. (see course plan and reading materials for further detail.)

text: I picked up Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer yesterday. The excerpts/ramblings appealed to me... Wow, what an awesome book. This guy was light-years ahead of his time. I love how he'll be describing a "cunt", and then drift off into his thoughts about man and his inability to be free, or how one never experiences a real youth or adulthood, etc.

Hello there...
Well this sure was a great honour and I have to say a little surprising, but that only makes it even better.
Thanks very much Coz, it is an honour to receive this award and I have to say I am glad you and everyone else enjoys my comments!
Thank you very much everyone for your kind words. It means a lot to see that people enjoy ones comments and thoughts
The Fan of the week award is a special one I think. While all the other awards are awarded people because of their writing and of their AARs this is the only award that is awarded on the basis of something everyone can do, read and comment on all the great AARs that we have here on the Paradox forums. I think that is something we should all remember and continue as we do today to keep this great tradition alive. These forums are filled with great writers and fans, and I think that is the thing that makes Paradox so special. And it isnt hard to make good comments when one has so many great stories to comment upon
Having said that there is only one thing I regret and that is that I am unable to get enough time to read all the great AARs around. There is always one more AAR that one wants to read, one more AAR that looks interesting, but unfortunately time isnt something one can control and with real life also taking time, but still I guess not even stnylan is able to read everything around, so that is just the way it has to be I guess
As for the 3000 post club General Jac we might be a small group, but we do our best to keep the forums alive and well, and in the end I guess that is all we can do
Having said that I guess it is time to say thank you everyone once more, and then I will enjoy my 15 minutes of fame before handing this award on. Thanks everyone

How to Select
How to select Evaporative Coolers
Evaporative coolers may become the best option to cool the air during hot summer months if you live in a climate area with low humidity. The best feature of such device is its ability to use liquid to cool the place of your choice. When facing the necessity of selecting an evaporative cooler, hundreds of unanswered questions arise. We will try and answer the most important questions; those that will help you find a perfect option to satisfy your needs.
You may wonder what the difference between a cooler and an air-conditioner is. Well, the main difference between such devices lies in their operation technology. While air-conditioners take air from the atmosphere and recirculate it, leaving no useful elements in it, a cooler makes the air fresher and generally healthier while also keeping it cool.
So how do you select a perfect cooler? The first thing you need to consider when choosing an evaporative cooler is its capacity and the area it is required to cool. Such device's capacity is rated by the cubic feet per meter, meaning the amount of fresh air it will provide for a particular area with a particular temperature. The devices that exist on today's market have a capacity ranging from 3000 to 25000 cfm. In order to select the perfect device for your particular room, you need to calculate the area that requires cooling, its temperature and the relative humidity index. Bear in mind that there's no need to buy a more powerful device if you only need it for a single room. It will not make the room cooler and you will only spend extra money on your energy bills.
When you have calculated the area of the room and the cooler's capacity, you should consider the next factor, which is installation. The models of evaporative coolers that exist today can be installed in a central duct system of the house or in a location that doesn't have any duct exits. There also exist small portable devices that can be placed in every room of the house depending on your needs.
When a cooler is installed into a duct system, it can blow the cool air in multiple directions, providing many rooms with cool air. Such installation is suitable for larger houses with lots of staircases and hallways. When all of the rooms in a house are connected with each other, you can select the type of an evaporative cooler that can be installed in a central location of the house. This will help you save money and spare you from the necessity of performing additional mounting work.
After you know the capacity and installation type of your cooler, you may wonder how much money you should spend on such device. Our tip is to consider all of the additional features that your future evaporative cooler offers and whether you need them or not.
In general, evaporative coolers are almost twice as cheap as air-conditioners. But you can only install them in a place with low humidity, since they only offer moderate cooling options within the area of your house. Not only that, such devices require additional maintenance if compared with air-conditioners but still help you save more money and energy in a long run.

"Glorious Nature" at Franklin Gallery
Thursday, February 21, 2013
ROCHESTER — The Franklin Gallery at Ben Franklin Crafts, 60 Wakefield St., will sponsor an exhibit called "Glorious Nature" — multi-media artworks by Nashua artist Caroline Liebenow — March 1-30 during regular business hours.
Creating the works for this exhibit has taken Liebenow from the traditional darkroom to the computer, the great outdoors, and indoor greenhouses. Her black-and-white photography works are one-of-a-kind, each created by using special effects during the printing process, so exact reproduction is impossible with conventional darkroom techniques.

Recent Pipestem Reviews
Great place to stay. Wonderful.
It's a very well decorated home. With all of the comforts of home. And lots of room:) Beds we very comfortable. The deck is wonderful to enjoy the sounds of the river near by. Truly wonderful stay. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us and we will be staying again :)
Great Cabin in the Woods
The most relaxing vacation my family has had in years. We enjoyed the seclusion and rustic feel of this cabin. We had seen so many variety of birds, also a few deer walking across the road. The mornings were spent listening to the creek and sitting on the deck enjoying the fresh air. I could only imagine how beautiful the fall would be with all the leaves changing color. The only thing we needed was a few groceries and a blow dryer. I guess the previous guess must have taken, so the new pink blow dryer is my cabin contribution. All said and done my family will definitely return again.
Beautiful Vacation Spot
We stayed in the West Virginian cabin (there are two cabins on the property). The photos don't do the place justice. The rooms are large, light-filled, and thoughtfully furnished. My husband liked the lower level den, and the wraparound, gated porch and walkout lower level are perfect for dogs. The kitchen is fully furnished, and the dining room offers beautiful views of the woods and mountains. The secluded country road is perfect for jogging and walking the dog, too. Pipestem State Park is literally next door, with its golf courses, hiking trails, lake, swimming pools, and fine restaurants, and Bluestone State Park is just a few miles away. There is something for everyone here; large groups will appreciate the privacy offered by the three levels in this cabin. The cabin was spotless when we arrived and the owners pleasant to work with. We highly recommend the Retreat at Pipestem!

Osho,When Tenjiku was asked about the incident of Tanka burning the statue, he replied, "When it is cold we gather around the hearth by the fire.""Was he wrong or not?" persisted the monk."When it is hot we sit in a bamboo forest in the valley," said Tenjiku.
The day after the burning of the statue, Tanka Tennen went to see Nan-yo, who had once been a disciple of Eno and was the emperor's Zen master. When Tanka unrolled his zazen rug, Nan-yo said, "There's no need."Tanka took a few steps backward.Nan-yo said, "That's right."At this, Tanka took a few steps forward.Nan-yo said, "That's not right."Tanka walked around Nan-yo one time and left.Nan-yo commented, "The old, golden days are far away, and people are now so lazy. Thirty years from now, it will be difficult to get hold of this fellow."
It is time, ripe time for a Zen manifesto.
The Western intelligentsia have become acquainted with Zen, have also fallen in love with Zen, but they are still trying to approach Zen from the mind. They have not yet come to the understanding that Zen has nothing to do with mind.
Its tremendous job is to get you out of the prison of mind. It is not an intellectual philosophy; it is not a philosophy at all. Nor is it a religion, because it has no fictions and no lies, no consolations. It is a lion's roar. And the greatest thing that Zen has brought into the world is freedom from oneself.
All the religions have been talking about dropping your ego - but it is a very weird phenomenon: they want you to drop your ego, and the ego is just a shadow of God. God is the ego of the universe, and the ego is your personality. Just as God is the very center of existence according to religions, your ego is the center of your mind, of your personality. They have all been talking about dropping the ego, but it cannot be dropped unless God is dropped. You cannot drop a shadow or a reflection unless the source of its manifestation is destroyed.
So, religions have been saying continuously, for centuries, that you should get rid of the ego - but for wrong reasons. They have been asking you to drop your ego so you can surrender to God, so you can surrender to the priests, so you can surrender to any kind of nonsense, any kind of theology, superstition, belief system.
But you cannot drop the ego if it is a reflection of God. God is a lie, out there in the universe, and ego is a lie within your mind. Your mind is simply reflecting a bigger lie according to its size.

The fight for local control of drilling in Ohio might not be over yet
Blog Entry:
March 08, 2013 9:27 AM | Author:
Heidi Gorovitz Robertson is a professor of law and associate dean for academic enrichment at the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. She is also a professor of environmental studies at the Maxine Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University.
Municipalities across Ohio are paying attention to the shale oil and gas boom.
Some want to encourage it, but others want to control it. Many want to exercise their rights of self-governance to enact ordinances to protect the health and welfare of their citizens and their communities. Some are enacting drilling bans, or permit requirements. They are passing resolutions opposing what they see as the Ohio Legislature's special treatment of the oil and gas industry.
Ohio is known for strong constitutional support of its abundant local governments. The Ohio constitution, in Article XVIII, Section 3, says: "Municipalities shall have authority to exercise all powers of local self-government and to adopt and enforce within their limits such local police, sanitary and other similar regulations, as are not in conflict with general laws." These words are known as the home-rule provision.
So, when an Ohio municipality wants to control land use decisions within its borders by setting spacing or set-back requirements for shale oil and gas wells, it sounds, at first blush, like that action should be allowed under the home-rule provision. After all, Ohio values local control.
Will economic development concerns win out?
But Ohio also values economic development, and the application of law sometimes is values-driven. So, local control? Not so much in the case of oil and gas production.
The state Legislature has worked hard to establish tight state control over shale oil and gas operations. Ohio Rev. Code section 1509.02 grants the Ohio Department of Natural Resources 'sole and exclusive authority' to regulate oil and gas operations. It uses words like "sole and exclusive authority," "matter of general statewide interest," "uniform statewide regulation," and "comprehensive plan" to indicate the legislature's effort to enact a general law that, even under home rule, would preempt local regulation.
The legislature was specific and inclusive in the activities it included within ODNR's authority. The statute includes "all aspects of the locating, drilling, well stimulation, completing, and operating of oil and gas wells within this state, including site construction and restoration, permitting related to those activities, and the disposal of wastes." In fact, in repeated efforts to ensure that the statute would be interpreted as a general law, thus preempting local control, the Legislature has expanded this list several times.
But is the statute a general law just because the Legislature wants it to be one? Not necessarily.
Here's the Ohio Supreme Court's latest wisdom on what counts as a general law. In 2002, in Canton v. State, the Court announced a four-part test for what makes a statute a "general law."
To be a general law, with which local ordinances may not conflict, a statute must (1) be part of a statewide and comprehensive legislative enactment, (2) apply to all parts of the state alike and operate uniformly throughout the state, (3) set forth police, sanitary, or similar regulations, rather than purport only to grant or limit legislative power of a municipal corporation to set forth police, sanitary, or similar regulations, and (4) prescribe a rule of conduct upon citizens generally.
So, is Ohio Rev. Code sec. 1509.02, a general law? Although the Ohio Supreme Court has not yet answered that question, Ohio's 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion on the matter on February 6 — in State ex rel. Morrison v. Beck Energy Corp.
Beck Energy had obtained drilling permits, as required, from the ODNR, for a drilling project in Munroe Falls. However, it did not request or receive permits that were required by city ordinances regarding drilling, zoning, and construction. When Beck began drilling, the City of Munroe Falls obtained an injunction from the Summit County Court of Common Pleas preventing Beck from continuing operations within its borders until it complied with the city ordinances.
Although the city argued that its ordinances should stand on Home Rule grounds, the court overturned the injunction, holding that some of the local ordinances were void because they conflicted with a general law, Ohio Rev. Code section 1509.02.
The ordinances overturned included 1) a mandatory drilling permit; 2) a conditional-zoning-certificate requirement; 3) a zoning-certificate requirement; 4) a mandatory public hearing prior to drilling; and 5) a mandatory $2,000 performance bond. The court held that the Ohio statute gave control over these areas to the ODNR and that these additional city requirements operated in conflict with the state law, a general law, thereby rendering them void. The court did find that some of the city's ordinances were not in conflict with the general law, and those survived.
But Beck was decided by an Ohio appellate court. When trying to determine how courts might rule on important matters, one often looks for insight from neighboring states. Ohio's neighbors, Pennsylvania and New York, recently have faced similar questions concerning the intersection of state oil and gas laws and local efforts to control activities within municipal boundaries.
Home rule rules in some other states
In Pennsylvania, the legislature enacted Act 13, an attempt to revamp its oil and gas laws, and pre-empt local regulation. Like the Ohio legislature, Pennsylvania's legislature was very clear about its intent to preempt local regulation of oil and gas operations. But, in July 2012, in Robinson Township v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth Court in Pennsylvania held that "the provisions of Act 13 that would override local zoning and environmental laws are unconstitutional, null and void." Those provisions violated the state's home-rule provision.
So, despite strong support from Pennsylvania's governor, and the best efforts of the Pennsylvania legislature to vest the state with complete control of oil and gas decision-making, the Pennsylvania constitution preserved the locality's ability to regulate. This case was immediately appealed to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Although it was argued on October 17, 2012, no decision has yet emerged.
Like Ohio and Pennsylvania, New York has a home-rule provision and a statute stating that New York state rules supersede local ordinances regulating oil and gas. But New York municipalities have been enacting local ordinances anyway, some of them including outright drilling bans. Several New York courts have upheld the local drilling ordinances. But, in part because New York's governor issued a hydraulic fracturing moratorium, by executive order, on Dec. 11, 2010, the local ordinances have yet to be addressed in New York's highest court.
Our neighboring states' lower and appellate courts so far have supported their states' home rule provisions, valuing local control over the states' efforts to encourage oil and gas production via unified state control.
As evidenced by the recent Beck Energy case, Ohio has been different.
Like Pennsylvania and New York, the Ohio statute seeks to preempt local regulation. Unlike the courts in Pennsylvania and New York, though, Ohio's appellate court preferred to support the state's efforts to regulate all aspects of oil and gas operations rather than to preserve local regulatory authority under home rule.
Like our neighboring jurisdictions, though, the state's highest court, the Supreme Court of Ohio, has not yet heard a case on this matter. Ohio's Supreme Court has been protective of local authority. It often upholds local ordinances on home-rule grounds.
But oil and gas production may be different. The state's interest in promoting economic development through state control of oil and gas operations may encourage the court to see things differently.

Who gets coronary artery plaques and what happens to the plaques? What happens to the heart muscle after a person survives a Heart Attack? Can a person have more than one heart attack? Patient Comments: Heart Attack Pathology - How Many? What is a Heart Attack? Reader Stories Share Your Story A heart attack is a layperson's term for a sudden blockage of a coronary artery. This blockage, which doctors call a coronary artery occlusion, may be fatal, but most patients survive it. Death can occur when the occlusion leads to an abnormal heartbeat (severe arrhythmia) or death of heart muscle (extensive myocardial infarction). In both of these situations, the heart can no longer pump blood adequately to supply the brain and other organs of the body. Almost all heart attacks occur in people who have coronary artery disease (coronary atherosclerosis). So, this photo essay will review the structure (anatomy) of the normal coronary artery, the structural abnormalities (pathology) of the coronary artery in atherosclerosis, and the effect of these abnormalities on the heart.What are the structures and functions of a normal coronary artery? The coronary arteries carry blood to the heart to supply oxygen and necessary nutrients. As seen in Figure 1, the wall of a coronary artery has 3 distinct layers: the inner (intima), middle (media), and outer (adventitia) layers. The wall of the artery surrounds the lumen of the artery, which is the channel through which blood flows. Figure 1: Normal Coronary Artery; Cross-sectional Microscopic View Picture of Normal Coronary Artery In Figure 1, smooth muscle is red, and connective (supporting) tissue is black (elastic) or blue (collagen). The intima is best seen in the close-up view in Figure 1. It is composed of a layer of so-called endothelial cells that covers the artery's inner (lumenal) surface, connective (supporting) tissue (collagen and elastin), and a layer of compact elastic tissue called the internal elastic lamina (IEL). In the past, the intima was thought to be simply a passive layer whose major purpose was to serve as a barrier. Now, however, we know that the endothelial cells actually keep track of the pressure, flow, and "health" of the artery. Moreover, endothelial cells secrete chemicals that can adjust the function of the artery (e.g., vasodilator chemicals to widen and vasoconstrictors to narrow it) and growth of the artery wall (e.g., growth factors). The media (M) is a layer made up primarily of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The muscle can contract and relax to control the blood pressure and flow in the artery. Elastic tissue and collagen in the media, along with elastic tissue in the IEL, increase the elasticity and strength of the wall of the artery, as the artery contracts and relaxes. The adventitia is a layer of connective tissue and cells (e.g., SMCs) that produce this connective tissue. The adventitia contains potent factors, including one called tissue thromboplastin, that promote blood clotting. The clots are useful when the artery becomes injured because they can limit excessive bleeding from the injured artery.

The main innovations of OpenRC are the creation of named runlevels and full dependency handling. The numbered runlevels of sysvinit were an attempt at handling dependencies, but they sequentialize the boot process and are unable to handle complex dependency chains. OpenRC's calculation of the dependency graph eliminates such limitations. It is also written in C, so there is not much overhead in the calculation.
Anyway, systemd is full of severe reliability regressions that I do not want on my system. I am currently fixing a regression that can cause udevd to enter d-state permanently. It will cripple the system boot process in certain situations. eudev inherited it from systemd. Anyone who asks me for details will be told to ask again after our first tag. I have adopted the Sun Microsystems approach to collaboration (i.e. code drops) for reliability bugs introduced by systemd in response to abuse from Lennart Poettering and Kay Sievers. You can thank them for that.

Putting garden to bed for winter

Just last week that I was planting tomato and pepper seedlings - or so it seems. But now the big yellow buses are out there each morning, delivering the next generation of gardeners to school, and there is a definite nip to the air when I go to get my newspaper out of the box in the morning. Where has the summer gone? It's time to start thinking about putting the garden to bed.
