Vithoulkas to succeed Hazelett as county manager
Deputy Henrico County Manager for Administration John Vithoulkas will succeed Virgil Hazelett as county manager when Hazelett retires in January, following a unanimous vote by the county's Board of Supervisors at its meeting tonight. Vithoulkas, 44, will begin his new position Jan. 17.
Vithoulkas will become the eighth county manager since Henrico adopted the form of government in 1934.
The county manager serves as Henrico's chief administrative officer, responsible for implementing policies established by the Board of Supervisors and for overseeing the daily operations of the county and more than 35 agencies with approximately 4,000 general government employees (the county's total workforce, general government and Henrico County Public Schools, is more than 10,400). Duties include preparation and oversight of the county's annual budget, which tops $1 billion in operating and capital expenditures for the 2012-13 fiscal year, and preparation of the county's annual legislative program before the Virginia General Assembly.
Vithoulkas, a Henrico employee since 1997, rose through the ranks of the Department of Finance, joining the agency as a budget analyst and also working as budget director. He became acting director of Finance in September 2007 before taking over as director in January 2008.
In September 2009, Hazelett named him to the additional position of special economic advisor as Henrico confronted revenue declines and other challenges stemming from the national recession. In December, he was named a deputy county manager.
Vithoulkas has been key in helping to establish Henrico's to fiscal policies that have enabled the county to balance its budget throughout the recession and the lingering problematic economy. The county has absorbed revenue declines of more than $92 million the last two years without laying off employees, cutting services or raising taxes. He was the architect of a series of bond sales during the recession that yielded $17.7 million in debt-service savings for the county.
In August 2011, Henrico was the first locality nationwide to have its debt reaffirmed as triple-AAA — the highest available for a governmental entity — by the three international credit-rating agencies following the downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard and Poor's.
Vithoulkas played a leading role in the effort that established Henrico, Va. as an official mailing address with the U.S. Postal Service in October 2008. The address-change initiative is saving the county more than $5 million annually in tax revenues that previously had been misdirected to other localities.
Vithoulkas, a naturalized citizen, is a native of Greece and immigrated to Virginia as an infant with his parents. A product of Henrico County Public Schools, he is a graduate of J.R. Tucker High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1989 and received a master's degree in public administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1992. Before joining the Henrico County staff he worked as a police planner and assistant budget director for Gaston County, N.C. and as a budget analyst for Chesterfield County.
Vithoulkas lives in Glen Allen with his wife, Jenny, and their three children.
He has keyed the ongoing "Changing the Way Henrico Does Business" initiative, an internal project launched in response to the recession. It has led to streamlined, more-efficient operations in departments countywide, producing permanent savings of more than $50 million. He also has spearheaded efforts such as the Henrico Advantage Card, working with the local business community to boost sales for Henrico retailers.
Local couple wins wedding at Lewis Ginter
Richmonders Jim Morgan and Dan Stackhouse were married at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Lakeside Mar. 7 month after winning the Say I Do! With OutRVA wedding contest in February.

Morgan and Stackhouse, who became engaged last fall on the day marriage equality became the law in Virginia, have been together for 16 years. They were selected from among 40 couples who registered for the contest. The winners were announced at the Say I Do! Dessert Soiree at the Renaissance in Richmond in February. > Read more.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

On May 20, the Di Leos dedicated the Margaret Manley Memorial Chapel at St. Francis Lodge. The Rev. Rolph Tollefson of St. Paul blessed the chapel, consecrated the altar and celebrated the dedication Mass.

Errors cost Mavericks
Defensive mistakes ruined the game for the Mid-Missouri Mavericks on Friday.
As a result, the Mavericks lost to the Rockford River Hawks 10-4 at Taylor Stadium. The Mavericks (5-29) committed a number of passed balls and wild pitches.
MU fills coaching roster
Despite all the negative connotations associated with the NCAA's investigation, the Missouri men's basketball coaching staff can say it benefited from its effects.
The Tigers announced Thursday the hiring of former Liberty coach Jeff Meyer to take the position Lane Odom held. Meyer, along with newly hired associate head coach Melvin Watkins, combine for 24 years of head coaching experience. Meyer's hiring completes the program's coaching search.
Detroit calls Paulding; other Tigers denied
To play in the NBA is a dream for any college basketball player. To play in the NBA for the champions would be nice. To play in the NBA in his hometown would be the best.
The Detroit Pistons made all of it a reality for former Tiger Rickey Paulding on Thursday night when they selected him with the 54th pick of the 2004 NBA draft.
Golf and tennis mark first day of Senior Games
Alfred Richardson knows Lake of the Woods Golf Course. After all, he used to work there.
Before Lake of the Woods became a municipal course, he worked as a chef during its country club days.
Mavericks tip Otters
The Mid-Missouri Mavericks had the biggest crowd in their three-game series against the Evansville Otters on Thursday, and they gave the 2,260 in attendance something to cheer about in their last game of the series against Evansville.
The Mavericks beat the Otters 7-6 at Taylor Stadium in a Frontier League game.
Senior Games adds event
Jack Timmons began playing bridge when he was 20 and working as a radar mechanic for the Air Force in Germany during the Korean War. It all started when a group of three friends was looking for a fourth person to play.
"I was pretty good with cards of any kind and liked the game," Timmons said. "Some weeks we played as much as 70 to 80 hours a week, which was virtually all our spare time."
Set for their shot
Since his graduation and the end of a hectic basketball season, Travon Bryant has led a somewhat slow, simple life.
With his basketball plans undecided, there hasn't been much for Bryant to do other than prepare for that future as best he can. On his own, Bryant has worked on his game and body for about five hours a day, then rested so he could do it again the next day.
Mavericks' offense missing
The Mid-Missouri Mavericks played good defense and pitched well against Evansville, but it wasn't enough to stop the Otters.
The Mavericks fell to the Otters 1-0 on Wednesday at Taylor Stadium in a game that was scoreless into the fifth inning for the second night in a row.
Marathon runner still going at 84
Most people start slowing after retirement. Ed Burnham has done anything but.
Burnham, 84, has run 138 marathons, and all of them have come after he turned 70. Burnham, of Kansas City, will run in the 5- and 10-kilometer Road Races at the Senior Show-Me State Games this weekend.
Post 202 rolls Jeff City
Jefferson City was worn out, and Post 202 took advantage.
Post 202 won both games of an American Legion doubleheader Wednesday at Rock Bridge, beating Jefferson City 13-3 in six innings in the first game and 14-2 in five innings in the second.
Draft promises to hold surprises
Uncertainty is perhaps the only thing certain about the NBA Draft. Whether that first-round pick becomes the next Michael Jordan or the next Sam Bowie remains to be seen, but those are the chances teams must take.
As usual, uncertainty marks the 2004 NBA Draft, which is at 6 tonight, but for some idea, the Missourian's mock draft will provide thoughts on who might go where.
Debut spoiled
It was Jim Gentile's first game as the Mid-Missouri Mavericks manager, and the job proved to be a tough one.
Gentile lost in his debut when the Evansville Otters defeated the Mavericks 9-6 in 10 innings at Taylor Stadium on Tuesday in a Frontier League game.
MU names golf coach
Mark Leroux was named Missouri's men's golf coach Tuesday.
Leroux moves to MU after coaching the men's and women's teams at Austin Peay University. In seven years as coach of the men's team, he led it to an Ohio Valley Conference championship, as well as the school's first NCAA Regional appearance, in 2001.
Cubs take first game from Cards
ST. LOUIS — Aramis Ramirez hit a two-out, two-run double off closer Jason Isringhausen in the eighth inning to give the Chicago Cubs a 5-4 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
The Cubs have won nine of 10 to cut the Cardinals' NL Central lead to one game. The Cardinals have won 15 of 21 but lost their past two. Two games are left in the series.
Mavericks go a Gentile-r route
In a season that has seen plenty of change for the Mid-Missouri Mavericks, two more changes have been made at the top.
Jack Clark stepped down as manager on Monday, and Jim Gentile, a finalist for the coaching position before the season began, took over.
MU's new addition
It didn't take long for the Missouri men's basketball program to fill its vacant position of associate head coach.
The Tigers announced Monday that Melvin Watkins, the former coach at Texas A&M, will join coach Quin Snyder's staff. Watkins will take the position that Tony Harvey resigned Friday.
Bullpen keeping Cards in game
ST. LOUIS — More than timely offense was responsible for the St. Louis Cardinals' three straight comeback victories last week.
Without stingy work from a rebuilt bullpen, the rallies wouldn't have been possible. Entering a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs today, the relievers haven't allowed a run in their past 10 home games.
MU players honored
Missouri's Lee Laskowski, an outfielder, and Garrett Broshuis, a right-handed pitcher, were named to the American Baseball Coaches Association Rawlings All-Midwest Region Team. Both were All-Big 12 Conference selections.
Laskowski had eight home runs, 45 RBIs and hit .355. His .381 batting average was third best in the Big 12 Conference. Laskowski was named to the Big 12 Tournament team, hitting .400, driving in five runs and scoring eight runs in the four games.
Youth prevails
The championship cup held PowerAde again this year. The winner of the Francis Hagan Match Play Championship was not 21.
Michael Unger, 20, overcame a strong round by Joe Bellmer, the runner-up the past two years, to win 1-up in 19 holes Sunday at Lake of the Woods Golf Course.
Tigers naming new assistant
Quin Snyder, the Missouri men's basketball coach, will hold a press conference at 10 a.m. today to announce an addition to his coaching staff.

Bike Sharing/Public Bikes: An Overview of Programs, Vendors and Technologies Bike share programs can provide safe and convenient access to bicycles for short trips, such as running errands during lunch and transit-work trips. The inter- national community has experimented with bike share programs for nearly 40 years. Until recently, bike share programs worldwide have experienced low to moderate success; in the last 5 years, innovations in technology have given rise to a new (third) generation of technol- ogy-driven bike share programs These new bike share programs can dramatically increase the visibility of cycling and lower barriers to use by requiring only that the user have a desire to bike and a credit card or phone. Bike share programs, such as systems in Paris and Lyon, France, help increase cycling mode share, serve as a missing link in the public transit system, reduce a city's travel-related carbon footprint and provide additional 'green' jobs related to system management and maintenance. In the US, many cities are look- ing into bike share programs, though they have not yet been widely implemented. These systems are not foolproof; poor design, insufficient supply or improper placement of bicycles and a lack of maintenance are among the potential pitfalls faced when building and Fleet bikes such as this one in Lyon, France can implementing a bike share system. include a number of innovative features. Existing and proposed bike share programs employ a wide variety of technologies, and "lessons learned" are being continually applied to new systems. For a bike program to be successful it is important that the correct technology and package of services involved be mated to the unique challenges that each program faces. For this reason it is strongly recommended that each agency considering implementation of a bike share program have an independent assessment of community needs, economics, technologies, logistical issues, service area, and other challenges faced in an implemented system. Alta Planning + Design 1 Overview of Existing Bike Share Program Elements Technology-driven bike share programs have many common elements including equipment and systems (e.g., bike fleets, parking and locking mechanisms, user interface and check-out protocols, and station networks), as well as maintenance and management requirements (e.g., fleet and station maintenance, status information systems and bicycle redistribution systems). Equipment and Systems Bike Fleet Fleet bikes should be distinctive, designed for easy Fleet bikes, such as those in Germany's Deutsche city use, and be clearly branded to increase their vis- Bahn system should be easily distinguishable. ibility. Bikes typically come with full fenders, chain guards and, in some cases, bike locks. Most bikes come equipped with a Global Position System (GPS) unit, Ra- dio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, or other type of tracking mechanism. This function is typically used in fleet management and retrieval of lost or stolen bikes, which remains a common problem despite anti-theft technology. Parking and Locking Mechanisms Call-a-bike check-out requires very little infrastruc- Two major types of locking technology, both fully ture as the necessary mechanisms are mounted on automated, are available: the bike itself. Stations using smart card systems generally require: 1. Bikes lock to either a rack or kiosk where users collect and drop bikes, often using smart cards that • A bar, post or other physical structure to lock contain the user's registration and payment information. bicycles between uses Smart card systems are found throughout the world. • A computerized system to check bicycles in These systems are generally simple to operate, making and out them accessible to the general public. • A power source to control check-in/check-out and track bicycles 2. Bikes are secured using an electronic lock mounted on the bike. The customer calls the telephone number given on the bike and gets by voice the 4 digit unlock code, which he then types into the bike's touch screen to release the bike. This is commonly referred to as a dial-a-bike, or call-a-bike system. These systems are found predominately in Germany. The Washington D.C. bike share program uses smart card technology. Alta Planning + Design 2 Station Design, User Interface and Check-in/Check-out Protocols All bike share programs require a user interface to collect and retrieve bicycles, through a check-in/check- out system. The interface should be simple and easy to understand. Stations should provide clear directions on how to access and return a bicycle. Other recom- mended elements and design guidelines include: • Instructions on where and how to return bicycles • Cost and pricing information • Contact information to report damaged bikes or stations • Maps of nearby stations and recommended bicycle routes • Damage resistant locking mechanisms Check-in/check-out procedures at a smart card • Your browser may not support display of this image. kiosk. Instructions are available in several languages. Both system styles may require the user to register prior to bike check-out. Any registration process and related technology should be well thought-out and intuitive. The best systems will offer multiple options to register and pay for bike check out (e.g., smart card or credit card.) To encourage casual and tourist use, registration should be quickly and easily handled at each check-out station. Requiring preregistration can create a barrier to entry, but will likely increase rider accountability and reduce bike theft. Smart card systems allow quicker, more convenient bicycle access as users are not required to make a phone call in order to check bikes in or out. The major Call-a-bike check-out, is accomplished in part advantage of this system is the reasonable guarantee of by phone but also operates via an automated user finding a bike at any station. interface. Call-a-bike systems require the user to know and plan for the need to place a phone call in order to unlock the bike, but allow increased flexibility in terms of return locations and provide the ability to temporarily secure the bike during the rental period. The major advantage of this system is the ability to return the bike at any location. Alta Planning + Design 3 Maintenance and Management A key aspect of any bike share program is system and fleet maintenance and management. These activities can help to ensure the bike share system is in top operating order and sufficient bikes are available to accommodate all users. To ensure that bicycles are available at all stations, it is likely that bicycles will have to be redistributed from one station to another consistently. Past performance of systems in Lyon and Paris indicates that many locations experience peak times of business when a rack will be either completely full or completely empty, making the rental or return of bikes impossible. Information about bicycle demand should be gathered through GPS units, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and any other means used to track bicycle locations. Bike fleet maintenance includes common activities such as filling tires with air and ensuring that bike gears shift smoothly. Station maintenance may include repairing lock mechanisms, replacing damaged interfaces, and installing new power sources. Safety and Liability Even bike share systems kept in good repair can create safety and liability issues for system operators. System operators should consider requiring users to sign a liability release waiver and consider providing helmets with each bike, even if their use is not required by law. Cost, Funding and Operational Models Costs associated with bike share systems fall into four categories: • Direct capital costs (e.g., bikes and terminals) • Direct operating costs (e.g., administration, maintenance, and electricity to power terminals) • Associated capital costs (e.g., construction of the system for building the necessary infrastructure and streetscape improvements) • Associated operating costs (e.g., maintenance of docking infrastructure and the existing bikeway network, insurance costs) It is common for a public agency to undertake operation of a bike share system with an operating partner, as most bike share systems are not financially self-sustaining. Funding for public bicycle systems commonly comes through a combination of advertisements, user fees, and public government funds and operates as a public-private partnership.

Alta Planning + Design 4 Recommended Independent System Evaluation To assist public agencies in the selection of the optimal bike share program, it is highly recommended that an independent evaluation and assessment be conducted before selecting the bike sharing operator or vendor. The independent evaluation steps are recommended: Examine Need It is important to have a thorough understanding and basis for the development of bike share program before undertaking capital expenditures. Such background information includes the following questions: • What is the rationale for a bike share program? • What are the objectives of a bike share program? • What would constitute a successful bike share program? • What risks are involved? • Are there any specific strategies or technological requirements that are needed? Document International/Domestic Experience & Best Practices Once the specific needs of a bike share program are understood, it is advisable to compare existing bike share systems around the world against each other and the needs and objectives of the desired program. This process involves examining case studies from around the world, noting technology employed, system size, and operational characteristics. Only once a thorough understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of other systems are taken into account can successful planning begin. Develop Business Strategy Choosing a business strategy customized to the needs and challenges of each bike share program will factor heavily in its success. In this stage of program evaluation the following are considered: • Anticipated usage – forecast bike share program usage and revenue generation • Economic analysis – true long term costs, financing models, subscriptions & user fees; general revenues; outdoor advertising rights; sponsorship; revenue generation • Fare structure & pricing – payment methods; cash; credit card; smart cards; user accountability • Operating model and impacts for each model – agency to own & operate; agency to own but private company operate; private company owns & operates Select Bike Share Program System After careful consideration of the above characteristics, the process of selecting a vendor, technology, and system size can begin. In this stage the following system elements are determined: • Number and type of bicycles in system – will system grow over time? • Type of parking/storage system (revenue collection and bicycle access system) • Locations of parking/storage systems • System maintenance and administration Alta Planning + Design 5

Tropes in these works:
- California Doubling: The 1991 film. While set in Philadelphia and New York City, it was mostly filmed in London.
- Dead Person Impersonation: Jonathan murders the driver who picks him up while hitchhiking and assumes his identity. It's never seen onscreen, but given (a) what the viewer already knows of Jonathan's murderous personality, and (b) that he's using the man's name and reciting the identical story that the man told him—that he has no relatives, having lost his parents in a plane crash, it's obvious what's happened.
- Death by Irony: In the 1956 film, Bud perishes when he falls into a copper pit during a visit to the plant while (a) trying to kill Ellen and (b) evade the cops. This was the original ending for the 1991 film, but test audiences hated it, so a an ending was reshoot that offered an Ironic Echo of the film's beginning—Jonathan is shown as a little boy watching the Carlsson trains going past his house, fueling his obsession with marrying into the family. At the end, in his desperate attempt to kill Ellen after she learns his secret, he chases her onto the train tracks—she's able to get out of the way, while he isn't.
- The Film of the Book: Two of them.
- Finally Found the Body: When Patricia Fearing's remains wash up a year after she went missing. Ellen realizes that this is one too many horrifying coincidences and finally begins to seriously suspect Jonathan knows more than he's telling.
- He Knows Too Much: Or "they", rather. Jonathan kills everyone—Tommy, Patricia—who can tell Ellen that he's the one Dorothy was dating before she supposedly killed herself and tries to kill Ellen when she finds out everything.
- Make It Look Like an Accident: Or suicide, rather. How Jonathan kills Dorothy and her ex-boyfriend Tommy when the latter is about to reveal his identity to Ellen.
- Manipulative Bastard: Jonathan, also hands down. It's almost sad that he didn't use his penchant for hard work and genuine intelligence for good, rather than pure evil.
- Replacement Goldfish: Determined to marry into the Carlsson family, Jonathan decides one sister is as good as the other after killing Dorothy.

Three views of the beach at Crail, Fife – a study in the shapes of rocks and stones.
Crail: colour
Three views of the beach at Crail – for the geologists, the rock is old red Devonian sandstone. For everyone else, the seaweed is slippery and the water is wet.
Crail Harbour Rocks: then and now
Quite a few years ago, I had just acquired a large-format view-camera (a Shen-Hao); for a first excursion, I took it to Crail in Fife and made an interesting study of the boulders submerged at the water's edge on the beach.
Fast-forward five years, and I returned to the same beach in Crail with a little Sony NEX-7 camera and retook the same image-brief:
- Crail
- closeup
- water and rocks
- multiple superimposed exposures
The differences a few yards, a few years, and a different day can make! Enough, perhaps, to justify titling the new image "Crail Harbour Rocks (2)".
Solar Eclipse 2015: a teaser
After all that driving to get this, I couldn't let today pass without posting taster shot from the solar eclipse.
I find it interesting that, for all the posturing online about the need for Baader solar sheets and that ND filters wouldn't provide enough protection, nature provided clouds as the best kind of filter anyway.
The colour photo was taken with a 20-year-old Centon 500mm f/8 mirror lens and probably an ND8 filter hand-held in front; the black and white image was the kit telephoto 55-210mm lens at the far end.
Both taken from the road beside Dunnottar Castle, Stonehaven.

Great skirt!
By Brunette
from Saskatchewan
A great skirt that is easy to wear and washes well. Matches a Marallis elbow sleeve length jacket that I bought last year so that I can also wear the two pieces as a nice light weight suit.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

What I was looking for
By MARILYN
from TORONTO
I was looking for a pull on skirt that no effort to get on and recquired very little care. This skirt is unconstrained to walk in, and simple to launder. It is exactly what I was looking for. Stains have been washed out of this skirt with great ease. It is a very serviceable skirt that stands up very well to everyday wear. I am very satisfied with this Marallis purchase.

Update on Costa Rica and many other things!!
Greetings! ItÂs been several weeks since IÂve been able to write in the forum. Between my return from Costa Rica and the many complexities that life enjoys creating, I have been very busy. So, I might as well use this as an opportunity to update you all on several things.
Costa Rica:
Fabulous! Sites explored include San Jose, the Arenal volcano region, Monteverde, and Quepos (Manuel Antonia National Park).
 San Jose: culturally interesting, a bit dangerous, only spent a day here
 Arenal Volcano: active volcano (erupts daily!) and surrounding tropical forest were beautiful. The Tabacon hot springs were fantastic. Day trip to the Cano Negro Preserve (swampland)
 Monteverde: fantastic cloud forest. Every type of epiphyte you could imagine (an old tree can have over three hundred species!) Went on the sky walk and zip line and, of course, tours through the forest.
 Quepos: went to Manuel Antonio National Park (on the coast). Beautiful beaches, tons of wildlife.
To view pictures: http://share.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=EeBN2zFu1cN3XA
Recent Plant Order:
Today I received a plant order from Black Jungle. Tillandsias were beautiful and very healthy! Based on SahoyÂs experience I only ordered two terrestrials and IÂm glad I did. They were puny! IÂm sure theyÂll grow fast though. Also ordered a jewel orchid which was a nice size and in very good condition. BTW, can anyone tell me how to plant the jewel orchid?
300 Gal Terrarium:
A while back I mentioned that I had a 300 gal terrarium. I must admit that was a white lie. I am in the process of building it-but it is nearly complete. This week I purchased epoxy paint to finish off the interior.
To view pictures: http://share.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=EeBN2zFu1cN3TQ
Red Eyed Tree Frogs:
TheyÂre on the way! I am receiving a shipment of 6 Nicaraguan captive bred sub adults tomorrow to put in my newest terrarium (not the 300 gal one-theyÂll go there later). Of course I have done tons of research but I would greatly appreciate any advice, especially from those who keep their frogs in vivariums.
Sounds like you had a great time. Amazing how much there is to see in such a small country.The altitude changes and tropical convergence zones create so many habitats.
I think when i visit the next time I'm going to include Panama.At least the western part .Would love to see the east where it joins Colombia but I hear it's too dangerous.
Sounds like a really great trip! As for the jewel orchid, they are pretty easy, and can even grow in potting soil, as long as they're not kept soaking wet. Which one did you get? Ludisia discolor? Macodes petolata? I hear the Macodes can be more difficult, but I don't think that applies to growing them in terrariums. More likely to be pot culture, that they dry out too quickly. RETFs are so cute! Post pics when you get them!
oh. . . my. . . goodness! I just looked at all those photos you took, and am completely blown away! I have decided that one of my life goals is now to go to Costa Rica! The sheer beauty! The birds! The butterflies! The plants! I am in total awe. I do have to ask though, were there also unpleasant things, like really huge spiders or centipedes? Did you find any in your bed or in the shower or anything like that? That would freak me out so bad. . . but I think I'd still go. I honestly cannot thank you enough for transporting me to paradise for a few minutes. It really makes me not want to look out my window and come back to reality. =)
Thanks for the kind words! It really was how you describe it-fantastic. There was nothing bad there like you say. In fact, there were no bugs!!!!!!!! No misquitos!!! Even at the Cano Negro swanp of all places, there was not one single misquito!!! The temps varied from the mid 60's to the mid 80's, but the majority of the time it was in the mid to high 70's. Of course this is farenheight (sry my knowledge of celcius is terrible). It didn't rain once when I was there (they have a 2 month dry season-the rest of the time it is soaking wet).
Of course, if you look hard, you can find the centipedes and spiders. I saw one centipede in the forest at Monteverde and it basically just sat there and did nothing. The only spider I saw was a small tarantula, but that was also in the forest and our tour guide had to fish it out of a deep hole for us to even catch a glimpse of it.
The hotels (I stayed in 4) were not the "jungle shacks" I thought they would be. They were very clean, had air conditioning, locks, safes, purified water (although I still drank bottled water to be on the safe side), and maid service. I would imagine it is relatively easy to end up in a "jungle shack" by accident, as there were quote a few there, so you want to do research before you go. I used American Express travel service.
Let me know if I can tell you anything else!
What an amazing set of photos, it must have been a wonderful trip. I really enjoyed the photos of the Basalisks and other reptiles. The sloth was adorable. The plant life is just beautiful. Do you know if the plant in image number 95 is a fern or an Epiphyllum cacti species? Whatever it is, it's really cool.
Everyone thought I was crazy taking individual plant pics but I knew that you all would appreciate them. To answer your question, I honestly don't know. It's amazing how bad I am with plant names. All I know is that it is for sure an epiphyte.
There were literally hundreds of thousands more types of epiphytes in Monteverde, just mind blowing. Unfortunately I only had time to take a few pics. They (scientists) discover 3-10 new species of plants (mostly epiphytes) daily in Monteverde. Interestingly, there isn't too much rain there. Instead, because it is deep in the mountains, clouds literally pass through the forest and the plants just wick up the moisture in the air. If it does rain, only about 5% of the water ever makes it to the forest floor because the majority is immediately absorbed by the plants in the trees. There are other amazing statistics, like the fact that 3 (dry) tons of epiphytes can live in a single old tree, but I can't remember them all.

Recent Charlemont Reviews
Wonderful, quiet property.
I stayed at Larry's property over the weekend with some graduate student friends who were looking for somewhere peaceful to work on thesis writing. We had a great stay. The property was in great condition, the house was spacious, and we were well-supplied with kitchen materials and board games. Our hosts were very communicative and helpful. We'll have to return some time in the summer to enjoy the trails on the property!
Perfect Weekend!
Stayed at Perry's house for the weekend with a bunch of my friends and had a great time. The house was clean, had plenty of kitchen supplies for guest usage and is in a really beautiful location- plus it's just 40 min. from Jiminy Peak. Be sure to make use of the snowshoes that Perry generously offers for guest usage. The hike around the lake is really beautiful. Thanks for everything, Perry!
A nice visit
We stayed here for 5 nights between Christmas and New Year's and overall we were pleased with our visit. But a few things are worth noting: 1. It is a very rural location; no cell phone reception 2. The house was clean and well-maintained, but chilly for a winter visit! The default on the thermostat was set to 50 degrees, so we constantly had to turn it up. The bunk-beds in the basement weren't user-friendly as sleeping space during a winter visit, either. 3. We had very little interaction with the owner, but we were frustrated that the one thing we complained about (the fact that none of the exterior lights worked, which meant it was very dark at night) did not get addressed during our stay.

Height of television on wall
Hello, a friend of mine is adding on to his house and in the future wants to put a plasma tv on the wall. I know I have seen a rule before for how high off the floor a tv should be mounted if it is to hang on the wall. Could someone give me the recommended height? I know that part of it will be how far back the seating area will be, but I know I have seen a formula for this. He is wanting to add some blocking in the wall before the drywall goes up. Thanks,
Hello Mlutz,
I first want to let you know I own my own custom audio/video company and have many years experience in the industry. You have a very simple yet often asked question. There is no magic formula however a simple solution exists. A good rule of thumb is to center the TV exactly where your eyes will be after sitting on the chair or couch. The tendancy is to put the TV too high so it looks better in the room or on the wall in this case. If the TV is too high you will get tired of watching faster due to neck strain. Everyone usually compromises this by putting the TV's bottom where your eyes will be. The TV will be fine at that height. If you are sitting further than 10 feet then your eyes at the bottom becomes the optimal height. More than 15 feet and the eyes 12" below the bottom would be optimal. Also make sure you put way more blocking covering much more area than you will need just in case. This is very important. Some companies sell power and cable or satelite boxes that recess in the wall to go behind the plasma that allow you to plug in and hide the wires. Just to let you know.
Appreciate digitalden's advice. Assume he means the bottom of the screen when he says bottom of the TV.
I'm still discussing the compromise height level with my wife. Will try to invent my own wall hanging hardware. Will also have to decide whether to cut into the wall or have something between whatever is going to hold the components and the bottom of the TV.

Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 11/17/14
It seems that someone out there really hates Josh Freeman because more damaging information keeps surfacing about the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting QB. CBS Sports has reported that the Bucs organization fined Freeman at least twice in the last month for conduct detrimental to the team. The fines were for giving an unauthorized interview to ESPN, which didn't paint the Bucs in a good light, and then missing a team meeting. Freeman's bad favor with the Bucs doesn't end there. Sports Illustrated's Jim Trotter describes the situation as leading to a suspension without pay. "The fine potentially sets up a scenario under which Tampa Bay can suspend Freeman without pay. That would allow the team to attempt to trade the fifth-year QB while not paying a portion of his salary." The Bucs are actively trying to trade Freeman, but whoever is leaking all of this information isn't exactly helping the trade situation. Painting Freeman as the rogue citizen doesn't exactly make GMs want to jump at an opportunity to bring him on to their team.

The melting pot of high fashion happened within the confines of the Costume Institute Gala on May 5, 2014. The annual fund-raiser for the Metropolitan Museum Costume Instiute suddenly became home to dozens of stunning gowns and suits worn by today's most famous celebrities. This year's fashion show is titled "Charles James: Beyond Fashion."
Of course, the fashionable gathering was not without any issues; attracting hundreds of celebrities in the industries, those with existing tensions between each other encountered numerous awkward run-ins. Probably the most salient awkward encounter is that of the "Red" songstress Taylor Swift and "Brokeback Mountain" actor Jake Gyllenhaal.
The tension between the two was conspicuous. Taylor Swift, who previously dated Jake Gyllenhaal, was said to be left heartbroken by the actor after he allegedly snubbed Swift's 21st birthday. The chanteuse reportedly waited all night for the actor during her birthday bash-much to her disappointment when the "Love and Other Drugs" thespian did not show up. Reports then claim that the Grammy-nominated singer allegedly locked herself in the bathroom crying-thereby ruining her own 21st celebrity studded birthday bash. Now at the MET Gala, the two were obviously cold toward each other.
Taylor Swift, however, did not fail to look dazzling in her Oscar de la Renta gown. Fit for a princess, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer easily snagged the photographers' attention with her stunning pink ensemble. Jake Gyllenhaal, on the other hand, donned a white coat complete with a black dress shirt and trousers.
The awkward encounters did not end there for TSwift; the songstress allegedly ran into her ex-best friend Selena Gomez, who looked stunning in a burgundy gown by designer Diane Von Furstenberg. The 21-year old actress graced the red carpet alongside Jessica Alba and designer Diane Von Furstenberg. The two former best buds did not look too enthusiastic to see each other. After allegedly being called "boring" by Selena Gomez, fans can understand Taylor Swift's disposition towards the troubled 21-year old actress.
The "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" show is co-chaired by Bradley Cooper, Sarah Jessica Parker and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, among others.

Heat Engines Shrunk By Seven Orders of Magnitude 168
from the gimme-a-v8-of-those dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Assuming we had micro engines, we can take full advantege of many things that are better smaller than bigger.
For example, a small device that turns heat into power could power an IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE using the bodies own heating/cooling systems? No more changing the battery for the pacemaker every
Then there are small flying devices. I am sure the military would love a flying camera the size of a real fly that uses the solar heat of the sun to power it.
Then there are phones and musical devices. Want one that uses half of its' own waste heat to recharge itself, perhaps doubling battery life?
Already done: see peltier device. They are already made to the correct size and probably better efficiency.
http://www.peltier-info.com/ [peltier-info.com]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling [wikipedia.org]
If you've got a thing that small, it's time to give up on it...
I read the attached paper on arxiv, and from what I could tell, they passed a DC current through the thing, which caused the small engine beam to expand, causing it to heat up and move the mass. The piezoelectric effect causes the resistance in the small engine beam to change, which causes the beam to cool down and move the mass back with help from the larger spring beam. Rinse, repeat. Effectively a thermoelectric buzzer. The buzzing of this particular device was measured to be about 1.255 MHz at a DC current of 1.045 mA.
Unlike what the Technology Review article says, the paper shows no application of an AC current to get the thing vibrating. In fact, the measured voltage is alternating because the resistance is alternating. The current remains the same. There is no complicated application of a DC current and an AC current. There's just an applied DC current.
Am I understanding the paper correctly?
Make it right before you make it faster.
