From May 2009 through January 2010, more than 100,000 unique visitors viewed the community news site that I started from my Cedar Rapids basement.
I wanted to learn more about Web editing, publishing and other Web-related skills, so I set up this project outlined below as a hobby and learning experience:
- Taught self how to set up, run and maintain an online community and news Web site.
- Taught self the basics in coding, publishing, graphics, video-editing and improved skills in community-building. Many posts, pictures and videos were contributed by other community members and then edited by me.
A sampling of reader feedback:
"When I was first introduced to this online news source I was skeptical. I didn't believe that the news coverage offered by an independent online news source could match that of the local networks or newspapers. I have to admit that I was dead wrong. Easterniowanews.com not only offers a wide range of topics and general information but it follows up with frequent updates on all of its top stories. The High School Sports coverage is also much more varied than most of the local news stations and the opinion page is always thought provoking. By compiling information from multiple sources, Easterniowanews.com also saves me a lot of time. Easterniowanews.com sifts through thousands of news stories daily to bring Iowans the information that we want to see. I love Easterniowanews.com!"
"I like the photos and stories on interesting things going on, such as community events, rare spottings such as houses moving and trucks with interesting signage, etc."
What do you like most on the site?
- Focus on local news content
- More casual, fun news
"It's a fun diversion from formal news sites."

Thai Shrimp and Pineapple Curry
Earlier this week I tested out a recipe with pineapple, for the street food festival at ChoLon Denver on August 22 where I am going to present two dishes for the guests (click here to buy tickets for the event). I bought a big pineapple and had the leftover. Whenever I have some leftover pineapple, I'd make pineapple fried rice, or shrimp and pineapple curry.
There are two versions of shrimp and pineapple curry I like. One is the Nyonya version (click here for the recipe) and the other one is Thai shrimp and pineapple curry. Both of them are utterly scrumptious and appetizing. The pineapple adds a nice, sweet tang to the overall curry, and the shrimp and coconut milk basically complete the dish. I can eat two full servings of steamed white rice with this dish.
What I love about this Thai shrimp and pineapple curry is that I can just use store-bought red curry paste, so there is no need to make the spice paste from scratch, unlike the Nyonya Udang Lemak Nenas. You know me, when it comes to cooking, I don't mind all the shortcuts as long as the end result tastes great. I know most people don't buy fresh pineapple and eat it as a daily "fruit," so you can always opt for canned pineapple. If are you using canned pineapple, make sure you choose those cut in rings.
Here you have it, my Thai shrimp and pineapple curry recipe, quite possibly my favorite Thai curry ever! It's so tasty you will thank me after you try making this yourself.

G'day Bee and yum re your Shrimp and Pineapple curry, true!
it is only brekkie here, but I could go for some of this right now too!
Cheers! Joanne
This might be my first time commenting but I am no stranger to your lovely blog, I've talk to many about it. I am a very loyal follower of your blog. Great recipes and turns out perfect everytime.
To the recipe, love simplicity and short cuts are nice. The curry looks amazing.
It looks delicious! The only problem is that we'll have to omit the lime leaves (impossible to find here in Athens). We also need your advice. We asked for red curry paste in spices shops yesterday but we couldn't find any. Is there a way to make our own? If not, what could we substitute with?
Thank you for the amazing recipe Rasa!
You can substitute cilantro leaves for the limes leaves.
A lovely refreshing dish, the pineapple with the spices was delicious, we had to use dried lime leaves here in Scotland, but a great recipe which takes little time. thankyou
I loved this dish when I first made with shrimp, but I had to substitute cilantro for the kaffir leaves. I know they are close, but I still would like to try it with the real stuff. But I always made the sauce up ahead of time so I could add to pan seared halibut and it was awesome.

A sophisticated way to wear turquoise, ring measures approximately 1-1/8" long x 1" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Stacy Barthe

For that heart of yours..
Sincerely Yours,

To whom this may concern:
I live to sing my song; To tell my story; I represent the voices that are unheard. I represent the unspoken pain. I represent the ones that no one wanted to hear. Im here.
Lend me your ears and your heart, and I will sing an eternity of songs…
Sincerely Yours,
Stacy Barthe
For Stacy Barthe, the decision to become a songwriter came as easy to her as the skill itself. The New York native always had a knack for pairing the right words to the right melody, most of which were produced by her partners from the Surf Club — consisting of Hit-Boy, Chase'N Cashe, Chilli Chil, B. Carr, and Kent M$ney. Before he became the man known for producing Jay-Z and Kanye West's RnB/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1 "Ni**as In Paris," Hit-Boy was sending his music to Barthe, who at the time was interning at Geffen (summer, 2003) and later, Jive (spring 2004 and fall 2005).
Little did Hit-Boy know that Barthe wasn't a label A&R but an aspiring artist much like himself. Instead of passing on Hit-Boy's music, Barthe wrote a song and sent it back to him. From then, Barthe, Hit-Boy, and the rest of the Surf Club have had a strong musical partnership.
Freshman Haze: Allen Stone
Now, the 26 yr. old has not only made a name for herself as a songwriter in-demand for artists like Rihanna (Barthe co-wrote "Cheers (Drink To That)"), but also as a singer. This year, Stacy released two EP's "Sincerely Yours" (Aug. 30) and "The Seven Days of Christmas" (Dec. 5) and is currently working on her debut effort, "PS: I Love You" (2012). Her angelic, deep alto is reminiscent of Sade, but the vulnerability and openness of Barthe's lyrics harkens back to female rockers like PJ Harvey.
Get to know Stacy Barthe, the first female addition to Freshman Haze.
Statistics: Stacy Barthe; 26-years-old; New York City-raised, Los Angeles-based; @ stacybarthe

Body of Work: Songwriting: Rihanna's "Cheers (Drink To That)," Katy Perry's "Hummingbird Heartbeat," Britney Spear's "Blur," and Kelly Rowland's "Everywhere You Go." Albums: "Sincerely Yours" (Aug. 30), "Seven Days of Christmas" (Dec. 5), and "PS: I Love You" (2012)
A Few Words:
The Juice: You started out as a songwriter, but has the plan always been to be the artist you're transitioning into?
Stacy Barthe: My dream was always been to make music and make music I'm inspired by, so as a songwriter I kind of got burnt out writing for different projects and artists. It wasn't the kind of music I wanted to make, I wanted to make the kind of music I would buy and I would listen to and that came from me deciding I'm going to sing my own songs.
You're a part of Surf Club. How has the relationship with them evolved over the years?
Those guys are like my brothers; those are my brothers out here in L.A. Hit-Boy has always been there. When he invited me to Atlanta to come to work, if it was clothes or whatever, he always had me.
What was the moment you knew you wanted to do music?
In 1991, I was six yrs. old and we [had] just got cable. I was watching MTV and saw Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman." That's my first recollection of wanting to do music. So throughout my elementary school days, I did talent shows and throughout high school I was putting groups together.
To be honest, a lot of the songs on "Sincerely Yours" are pretty sad. Was it capturing a specific time in your life?
I didn't intend for it to be anything but it came together during a tumultuous time in my life where it was a little hazy, a little dark. "Comfy Little Coffin" came when an attorney, who took great care of me when I moved to L.A., passed away. When that happened, I was in Miami, on a job. I couldn't leave and I missed the funeral, so I wrote that song from the perspective of how his wife might feel.
Has there ever been a case where you've written heavy songs for other artists, like "Comfy Little Coffin," and the artist or their A&R tell you it's too deep for them?
Absolutely! I didn't know that "Sincerely Yours" was going to be my project because when I did those songs I would try to shop them to A&Rs for different projects, and for some reason they never got picked. Either it was too mellow or too dark. Whatever the reason — good, bad, or indifferent — they never made the cut. So when I was in my transition [around] Dec. 6 of last year, I started getting in shape and losing weight. This is when I started taking myself seriously as an artist and the music is very reflective of the hurt I was going through.
Do you think people are ready for the heavier material you're doing?
The soul of the music is seeping back in from artists and friends of mine like Luke James [and] Frank Ocean. There's an underground kind of thing that's happening and we're all starting to be relevant. We're the next graduating class of this whole movement. It's coming from this colorless, androgynous place and it's for everybody.
Tell us about your upcoming album, "PS: I Love You."
I really found my joy in the last year, and ['PS: I Love You'] is going to talk about my journey. There's going to be a John Legend feature. There's a couple of producers I worked with on there. I worked with Danja, Jerry Wonder, and Supa Dups. It's Caribbean-World infused, but still hip-hop… it has a great feel. I call it 'yacht music.' This is something you guys can buy, it's going to be a masterful piece of work.
The project is pretty much wrapped. I'm pretty much done with it. I'm thinking maybe spring, 2012 or maybe summer. Ideally, I'd like to release it on my birthday, July 19
Much in line with the mass appeal romantic populism she has written into songs for Rihanna, Beyonce and Britney Spears, Stacy Barthe has a natural knack for punctuating her points with aphorism. On feeling underpaid as a songwriter: "I didn't have gas to get to the studio. I didn't have a dollar to my name. I was like, I'd rather do it for me than do it for free." On teaching herself to sing: "I never took any vocal lessons, I just got in tune with myself." For Barthe, everything spins motivational, even the darkest death- and addiction-focused material she recorded for her Sincerely Yours EP. Hope always swings up and life's finest virtue is self-assured, unstoppable forward motion.
Four years ago, while studying English at Saint John's University in New York and interning at Geffen and Jive, Barthe struck up a Myspace relationship with Chauncey Hollis, who now produces for Kanye West's GOOD Music under the name Hit-Boy. He'd send her beats, she'd write a song, record it and send it back. During her junior year, Hollis invited her to move to Atlanta and devote herself wholly to music. She accepted, and before long Barthe leveraged former internship contacts to sign her first publishing deal with Motown. "I always had a knack for writing, and luckily I always ended up meeting music people. I figured I would make my way as a songwriter and eventually cross over like Ne-Yo did, like Keri Hilson did." Armed with an untiring work ethic and a baby doll's disarming grin, Barthe invested years as a songwriter before a vague disillusionment soured her enthusiasm for putting other's projects first. Inspired by Natalie Portman's work-obsessed-to-the-point-of-murder protagonist in Black Swan, Barthe tattooed a black feather on her arm and vowed to change: "On December 6th, 2010 I decided I wanted to lose weight and be serious about my artist career, to be healthy and to see my life through."
Songwriter/Surf Club member, and recent Grammy-nominee, Stacy Barthe, has joined forces with songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, "Dapo" (Dapo Torimiro), to record a seven song Christmas EP, "STACY BARTHE PRESENTS THE SEVEN DAYS OF CHRISTMAS." The free, downloadable EP includes six classic Christmas songs and one original: "Santa Baby", "Silent Night", "O Come All Ye Faithful", "Sleigh Ride" (a duet with Dapo), "Let It Snow", "Baby It's Cold Outside" (a duet John Legend), and an original, song written by Barthe and Dapo, "All I Really Want For Christmas". The musical style is a fusion of reggae, jazz and R&B with lots of live instrumentation including live bass, acoustic guitar, piano, horns, sax, and a melodica, all performed by Dapo. The EP's style been described as a musical and vocal cross between Sade and Jill Scott but with a distinctly unique feel. Barthe draws from her Haitian roots and New York upbringing, while Dapo draws on his Nigerian roots and extensive jazz musicianship.
This is Barthe's second EP release. "Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe" (featuring songs with Frank Ocean and Luke James) was released via The Surf Club website in August of this year. As a hit songwriter, it was only with the release of "Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe" did people get to hear from Barthe herself and her work was immediately and positively received by music lovers and by online music blogs such as TheFader.com, ConcreteJungle.com and TheSource.com.
"Barthe has incredible control over her singing voice, doling out an enormous store of mid-range, smoky breath from the top of her throat in decisively timed surges and bends." — Naomi Zeichner, The Fader
STACY BARTHE – Barthe is a Grammy-nominated, Universal Music Group songwriter and is one of the writers behind Rihanna's "Cheers (Drink to That)" which gave Rihanna her twenty-second top-twenty single on the chart and peaked on Billboard Hot 100 at #7. Barthe has worked with Melanie Fiona, Brandy, Estelle, and Akon, and producers, The Runners, Cool & Dre, Hit-Boy, Danja, and Jerry Wonder. Last week, Rihanna's LOUD album received a 2012 Grammy Nomination for ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
DAPO – An accomplished pianist, multi-instrumentalist and Yamaha-endorsed artist, Dapo got his start in music as a singer, musician and producer in the popular Nigerian music group, KUSH. Dapo was the only male in the four-member Gospel/R&B group. Dapo traveled the country as a touring musician – touring and performing with such artists as Lalah Hathaway, Lauryn Hill, and Stevie Wonder. Dapo's writing and producing credits include songs with Anika Noni Rose on two Disney's Princess and the Frog-inspired cds, Toni Braxon, John Legend, Brandy, Justin Bieber, Jordin Sparks, and David Archuleta. Although Dapo's vocals (a one-verse rap) can be heard on the Ester Dean-penned, "Up" which appears on the Step Up 3D soundtrack, Dapo's KUSH fans will be happy to hear him sing along side Barthe in the Christmas classic, "Sleigh Ride". Those same fans won't have to wait long for the next opportunity to hear Dapo sing as he has another Christmas project due out this month, "Dapo & Friends Christmas".

I love being around my band! This footage is of us rehearsing. They were learning a new song entitled "Just My Luck" produced by Dappo! Can't wait to perform that song again!
thelastflight2skyy asked: I love you and thank you for being you i'd love to work with you one day I appreciate the love you have for words because I use to think I was alone in loving words so deep that I sometimes drained after writing a poem – Fortune
thank you so much for tuning in. Words are everything to me. Love that we share a passion…words connect people. Right on!
I guess its safe to say
The closer I get
The more afraid I become
I forget how many songs it took
I forget all the inspirational pain
I forget all the empty promises
I forget how many people didn't get it
I forget the feeling I used to get when a song was confirmed on an album
I also forget the feeling I got when the same song didn't make the cut
I forget all of the frustrated creations
I forget the dark places I went
I forget all the times I felt forgotten
Or left behind, or left out
I've forgotten
I forget the waiting, the hoping, and praying
I forget all the days I spent anticipating
And nothing ever came
Now, I am standing before my destiny and I am
Me: Could it be that I actually deserve to be amongst people I once idolized?
Mirror Me: Of course you do!
Me: Did I really get invited to this?
Mirror Me: Yep, hand delivered with S. Barthe on the envelope.
Me: Do I look okay?
Mirror Me: You already know the answer to that!
This is the conversation I am having with myself in the bathroom at The Grammys
Thankful and Still thinking…"Why me?"
P.S. The journey molds the outcome.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by andyboi22 Perfect Fitting I have to say, these are beautifully crafted shorts. For someone who is on the slimmer side, these will fit nicely because of the nice tapered cut. They are not baggy and saggy, do not flare out. Unlike an older pair of O.P. penguin swim trunks that I've tried in the past, these look good in the rear. Because of being 100% polyester they don't wrinkle and crease. Fabric isn't thin and cheap but has nice weight that makes them durable. January 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Antonio Nice but wrong sizes The sizes are wrong i don't undestand why I could be 36 in Banana Republic, tommy Bahamas, Bonobos but in penguin I have to choose 38. December 16, 2013

20. Wraith Hunting
She managed to find the rooms assigned to them, despite the new construction. They were where she expected them to be; they were, in fact, her mother's old quarters, below the ones now occupied by Ferion. Obviously no one had stayed here for years; the rooms were dark, musty, and run-down. Stained, moth-eaten tapestries lined the walls; threadbare carpets covered the old stone floor. The fire burning on the hearth did little to warm the air or dispel the gloom. Even with the windows open, the rooms felt close, confining.
The children were unhappy about the beds provided for them; they complained of the musty smell, the old blankets, the rickety wooden frames. They could not have their wolves in here for company, as Ferion expressly forbade it. Imrahil and Adrahil longed to camp with the soldiers. Zimraphel sat, alone, by the window, staring out at the sky. Somewhere in the distance, a wolf howled.
"The wolves say this place is bad," said Zimraphel.
"The wolves are very wise." Ariashal sat next to her. "Where is your father?"
"He went to speak with the troops," explained Imrahil. "He said we had to wait for you in here before we could go anywhere."
"Orcs and trolls live in better places than this!" Adrahil kicked at one of the old wooden beds.
"Stop that!" snapped Ariashal. "My mother lived here, and so did I, when I was little. You will not insult this place again."
"I want to stay in a tent," continued Adrahil. "Please? I hate it here. It smells."
"If you get to go, I do too!" Imrahil shoved his rother. "Zimraphel is right. This place is bad."
"I doubt that your father will permit you to stay out with the rmy," reasoned Ariashal. "And it will be much warmer in here."
"The wolves say bad things are going to happen here." Zimraphel clung to her mother. "I want to go home!"
"Now, listen, all of you." Ariashal tried to sound firm. "You will be staying in these rooms. Your father and I will be here. Your nurse will be here. There are guards outside the doors. We will all be safe. Now, if you want, you may go with the guards to the gardens while I wait for your father."
Relieved to be free of the oppressive room, they raced out the door.
The King arrived earlier than she expected. He came with almost a dozen of his finest guards, all armed with swords and spears. They set to work searching the rooms as soon as they arrived. When they had lifted every bed, moved every tapestry and checked every chest, they withdrew to watch the outer doors.
She was glad to be alone with him again. "I sent the children out to play in the gardens," she began. "They were restless."
"I do not think that is a good idea. Even with my guards I do not think they will be safe."
"What do you mean?"
He stalked around the room, checking the tapestries again. "Your brother has some sort of trap planned. I have not lived this long without learning how to smell one. It might be best if the children stayed with the army, where Adzuphel and Herumor can protect them."
"Do you really think it is that dangerous? Perhaps we too should go."
"No. If he is laying a trap, I want him to spring it on me. We will stay here. The children, though, will leave." He prodded one of the beds. "Ferion has not wasted any of my money on furnishings, I see. No, I have decided. I will take the children out to review the troops, and they will stay there."
"And if my brother asks why?"
"He will not dare."
Ariashal knew Ferion better than that. "I think he will want to know why we are spurning his hospitality."
He drew a long breath. "If he brings himself to ask, then I will tell him that these rooms are unsuitable for my children. That will suffice."
"It should. And the children will be well pleased to stay in the field." She opened one of her traveling boxes. "Would you care for some brandy?"
"No, I think not." He settled into one of the old chairs. It creaked beneath his weight, but held firm. "I want to be alert for any trouble."
"Do you really think he will do something?"
"He is in league with Cardolan. That alone makes him suspect."
Ariashal closed the box. "Is there anything I can bring my lord?"
He stretched out his legs, careful not to stress the chair. "Only yourself."
She crossed to him, gently laid a hand on his arm. "Ferion said the most ridiculous thing today. He said that you are a Nazgul, and that I should kill you."
"That was what I said, but he insisted. He said my father told him, just before he died."
"Your father? What would make him say that?"
"Ferion said that a man from Dol Guldur came, and spoke to my father about an alliance with Angmar. And Ferion says that the Nazgul reside in Dol Guldur."
"Does he, now. Well, I would not put too much store in the words of anyone from Dol Guldur."
"He told me that the only reason they wanted me to marry you was to work my curse upon you. Now he says I must slay you to free Middle-Earth."
The King laughed. "So, now I hold all Middle-Earth in thrall? Am I to fear my wife? Are you the trap he has set?"
"Do not think that!" She tried not to sound panicked. "I would never harm you! I--"
"Ariashal," he cut her off with a laugh. "You need say no more. I have proof enough of your feelings. I trust you would not harm me."
She laid her head on his shoulder. "He did ask me many things about you. I told him that I have never seen you, and he said that was proof enough."
"I see." The King took her hand. "Well. You have felt every part of me. Am I a ghost?"
For the first time all day she managed a smile. "No, my lord."
"If I take off these clothes, do I dissolve into shapelessness?"
She laughed. "No."
He slipped his hands around her waist, drawing her close. "Do I poison you with my breath?"
"Freeze you with my touch?"
She kissed him. "No."
"Do you find me a mindless slave and puppet?"
"No." She let this kiss linger.
He pulled her hands down to his lap. "Does this feel wraithlike?"
"No, my lord." Ariashal opened the front of his robes and knelt before him.
"Perhaps," he murmured, stroking her hair, "you should make certain."

THe cost is too high compared to other storage facilities. I'm in Arkansas now and I could get a storage unit here that's the same size as I have in Hoover, Al for about $45 a month. At Uncle Bob's, I'm paying $106! As soon as I can find a way to get my stuff here, I will be moving out. People should get a discount for long-term storage! But I feel like my stuff is safe and secure and that means a lot, at this point. Thanks for the security.Valerie from Bentonville, AR

A brief overview of how to setup the PHP edition of NetBeans follows. You would still need to consult Setting up your workstation for Joomla! development to learn about setting up your environment for Joomla! development. For the sake of brevity and not to "reinvent the wheel" we will provide references to further readings wherever we deem various topics are treated to a satisfactory extent elsewhere.
NetBeans provides you a modern slim PHP IDE. Very fast (even in larger projects) and good code completion, file/code/property explorer and excellent HTML/CSS/Javascript support. Subversion and xdebug support works almost out of the box as we will see below. Current version of NetBeans is 6.8. Version 6.9 with a lot of small goodies, ex. ability to detect changes outside NetBeans so far had been a bit of a mystery, ability to refactor inline css codes to external such etc., is around the corner (eta early June 2010, currently on beta status and beta is quite stable). As a last note about version 6.9, since the installation is made to version specific folders, if you want to give 6.9beta a run you can do so without interfering with your 6.8 setup.
Prerequisite: to be able to install and run NetBeans you would need Java 6 or 5. If you don't have that installed, download it from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp.
sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get install netbeans
We are now set to go and from here we will
set xdebug.remote_port=10000You need to go to Tools->Options->PHP->General and set the Debugger Port to 10000 to match.
In this part we will see how easy it is to work with an SVN repository for the purpose of checking out, creating patches, apply patches and update repository.

Billionare advertising mogul Charles Saatchi has confessed assault and accepted a "police caution" in regards to the photograph that surfaced of him viscously clenching the throat of his wife, British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson.
London's Evening Standard reported that Saatchi originally claimed that the infamous photo, which catches renowned art collector Saatchi aggressively choking his wife, exaggerated the couples feud. He also vowed that he and his Wife mitigated their fight soon enough and reconciled once they were home and out of the public eye.
Despite how the nasty snap framed the famous couple's argument, Saatchi relentlessly insisted that it was merely "a playful tiff." The loaded British husband continued to deny his role as an abuser stating "there was no grip." Yet, Nigella was spotted with tears dripping down her cheeks in the haze of their public quarrel, which occurred on June 9th at the swanky London-based Scott's Restaurant.
But now, Saatchi, whose famous advertising company assisted Margaret Thatcher's become prime minister, is finally coming clean– admitting that he did indeed abused his wife. Although it is terrible that Lawson was exposed to such severe maltreatment, her violent argument with her husband has sparked a more open conversation about domestic violence in the public sphere.

Dirty Air

Is the Recent Recession to Blame for Dirty Texas Air?
Peter Malof
DALLAS - As November marks the end of the ozone season, Texas officials and environmentalists are busy analyzing trends in the state's air quality - and they're drawing starkly different conclusions.
Every few years, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has to convince the feds that the state has a plan for complying with evolving air standards - standards that some regions have consistently failed to meet. Jim Schermbeck, director of the citizen action group Downwinders at Risk, says one problem with the state's current strategy is that it overemphasizes transportation-related pollution.
"It was never about the cement plants, or the coal plants. It's about cars, cars, cars. And you see this in the way they lay the blame, and you also see it in the way they're approaching the fee problem - to collect for pollution-control measures - [they're] letting drivers pay for that."
The state is asking the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to waive tens of millions of dollars in annual penalties imposed on Texas oil refineries, chemical plants, and other industries for noncompliance. The fines are supposed to be used for reducing emissions from commercial transportation sources. The TCEQ argues that other transportation taxes and fees can adequately make up for the industry penalties.
Supporters of the Texas strategy say the recession is partly to blame for any backsliding in air quality. That's because the TCEQ's latest plan counted on more consumers buying newer, cleaner cars. Schermbeck thinks the Perry administration wants to protect industry interests at the expense of air quality, and that the state is not keeping up with changing times. For example, he says, the TCEQ has largely ignored the impact of the recent "fracking" boom.
"In the past, plans have dealt with traditional smokestack industries. Now there's a new source, and that's the natural gas plays in north Texas and south Texas. Those gas emissions are having an impact that's not being calculated very well by the state."
The TCEQ refutes studies indicating that fracking chemicals and practices may be harming air quality, although Schermbeck says the commission is relying on internal models and discounting independent studies. He wants the EPA to be more rigorous about challenging the effectiveness of any state air-quality plan before authorizing it.

Numerical Simulations of Thixotropic FluidsP. Dantan[1], and M. Faye[2]
[1] Université Paris7 Denis Diderot
[2] Université Paris11
In this paper, we introduce a kinetic equation coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations in COMSOL Multiphysics in order to simulate internal structural changes of a flowing complex fluid.
Two physical applications are considered, the starting of blood flow in a stenosis and a simulation of a laboratory rheometric set-up.
Results show good agreement with the experiments' well known hysteresis loops.

Thats alright, I know some people have been playing till they win though. I didnt notice any of that with you so your good. I think from now on though, if anyone wants to practice they should just do it in play now and put the difficulty on superstar. It isnt the same but its close enough. One gm (not from this forum) was playing the same cpu game for like an hr and a half. I kept checking and conveniently the game where they were winning was the game that ended up being finished haha.
My bad with quitting against the CPU. I was actually using those games a lot just to try to practice with my team since there's no other way to do it so I'd play 'til near the end then quit whether I was winning or losing and then eventually I'd just play one that counted once I was done. Won't do it anymore.
Oh and JWomp I know you know the kid thats the flyers personally so would it be ok if you asked him next time you see him if he's still ganna be active. I played him last week and he seemed pretty frustrated by the league.
