from whence do the swappers hail
Hello All swappers.
I think it might be helpful to get an idea of whence everyone hails so that perhaps we can come up with another site somewhere other than Mont Co for the fall swap. Mary
I am in Temple hills in PG co
I'm coming from Fairfax, and the swap location is usually an hour's drive for me. I know that there are others who come from NoVA (like Larry). Christine comes from Annapolis, and we have swappers from Baltimore as well. I would like to know who has the longest drive to the swap.
Hi! I live in Eastern Montgomery County, so the swap was convenient for me. Especially since I can't get my self up early on a Saturday.
I live in Middleburg, VA.
If traffic on the Beltway had cooperated, the drive would have been about an hour for me (as it was on the way home). Unfortunately, it didn't and it took me nearly an hour and a half to get there. I didn't think one hour was bad for a "Mid-Atlantic Forum" swap. The Mid-Atlantic area is pretty big.
We live near Westminster, MD and the drive took us just over an hour ~ I consider it to be a fairly central location, and worth every second of it! (Perfect amount of time on the way home too for Sarah to nap and me to rehydrate before planting.) Thanks again Gardengranma and we'll look forward to Prof dirt hosting in the fall!!! :)
I also come from eastern Montgomery County so Gardengranma's and SSFS have both been very convenient for me (no saying either of these hosts is obligated for having us again). But locations for swaps have had more to do with who was willing to volunteer to host in a free place that had enough parking.
If someone wants to have the swap at their place and can deal with maybe 50(?) cars parking, remembering that in the event of rain, it can serverly damage a lawn.... just post a thread and see who responds. If enough people signal their willingness to travel to your site, you have a swap. There is no official imprintor or even limits on number of swaps.
I like it in Laural and SSFS myself. It's about 45 to 1.5 hours for me, depending upon traffic.
Laurel had it up on the other side of Baltimore (was it Laurel?) once, and it was tough.
The one thing I don't support is what happened a year or so ago: Someone getting pissy about driving a little out of her comfort zone and splitting the swap. No one had as much fun as we usually do, all coming together. It really diluted the plant pool, too. Not everyone could afford the time, travel and plants to attend both, either. If I recall correctly, that person wasn't even able to attend the swap closer to her home.
Anyway, I'm near Annapolis/Bowie/Upper Marlboro. I'll drive where necessary -- but only once. Montgomery county seems to be a pretty central location.
Yes, the location is convenient for me (about 30 mile drive), as is Sandy Springs, but I wouldn't mind seeing Vlad's place...
Next year, if you guys decide to have it here again, parents with children can ask and park along the bamboo where we have shade. Also, there was a shaded area with a gym set, swing, etc, and there is shade in the back yard. We can always improve as long as we know what problems there are. The house was also available, we just didn't want the total crowding we had last year. Prof. Dirt wasn't totally sure about the Fall swap, but you better ask him. In the Fall I am willing to go wherever. My best, gardengranma who had 0 miles to go. By the way, many thanks to all of you who brought me plants and the wonderful orange candle.
I came from Germantown so it was just a hop, skip and a jump. This was my second swap. I've enjoyed both very much. I will drive to wherever. Yesterday I drove an hour to a nursery because I knew they would have what I wanted and they did. It was worth the trip to me. So just point me in the right direction. :-)
I hope you are enjoying the seeds. Perhaps I was the "pissy" one who scheduled a mini-swap since I couldn't get to the MAG swap one time. So here's a little window on my world -- sorry to all who didn't ask for it! (Well, you can just skip this message) ; )
With an infant and a very young child at that time, I could not leave for long without them getting quite upset. I didn't want to leave my husband for five hours with crying kids. Alternatively, the baby would have cried belted into her constrictive carseat during the long drive, and swaps aren't enjoyable when you already have a migraine. Also, the main swap was scheduled on the same day as a plant sale at Green Springs Park & Gardens, which is a cool event here. So we had a little swap in Northern Virginia at a different time. About four or five other people attended, so it didn't diminish the main group much if at all (some said they had schedule conflicts with the main swap -- weekend work hours and such).
This year, my children are older and I was able to leave them with my husband without any concern and freely enjoy the day with MAG. The drive took about an hour and twenty minutes from my part of Northern Virginia, and I had a super time both on the road listening to the radio (I luckily heard about the beltway tie-up and meandered up through Rockville instead) and at the swap. It was great to tie so many names to faces, to talk with so many friendly gardeners, and I absolutely want to do it again. Now that my family obligations are somewhat easier, I can enjoy a road trip with as much luxury of time as others.
I didn't realize our little swap, borne out of various time and scheduling conflicts with the big swap that year, would annoy anyone, or that anyone would even care! I hope you didn't really care! Unless the whole group could agree in advance to the location and timing of a swap, there will always be people who can't make it, and if they decide to have their own swap, no big deal, right? -- to those fortunate enough to have the time to attend the big one.
Hope that clears things up, but perhaps it'll just ruffle more feathers! Ah, the lovely Internet...
Best regards,
Warning! Christine got long-winded again. Probably too much procrastination and not enough coffee. Here we go:
Actually, Julie, I wasn't referring to you at all, nor the NoVa swap, but I guess I struck a nerve. I recall there being issues at the NoVa swap about people deciding to sell their plants instead....
Of course people can arrange their own swap; that's not even a consideration. I know of no one who feels they need permission. However, it's easy to say dividing the swap for distance reasons in the way it was last year diluted the enthusiasm, let alone the plant availability. I think region could/should govern where/when. It makes sense. Not just because someone doesn't want to drive an extra 1/2 an hour. Particularly when there are others driving several hours, even if it's just traffic! For example, I am less than 30 miles away, but it takes me 1.25 hours because of the indirect route I must take.
I also recall strangers (non gardenweb members) at the swap to which I'm referring being a concern because they might steal. Well, someone did walk off with all Vlad's strawberries and there were other issues I recall reading about. These could happen at any swap, though. Look at all the hoo-ha above about people taking designated plants!
I'm going to make some enemies here, or at least make someone mad, but you know there's never any question about where I stand -- given whatever the current information might be! Julie, this isn't (necessarily) referring to you, but since you seemed to take my post a bit personally, I thought I'd make that clear. It's a general "here you have it" from me. My opinions don't necessarily reflect those of the mangement nor other childless people:
I find it extremely difficult, if not impossible to sympathize with the kid issue. It seems to govern everyone's lives when they reproduce, yet new parents always seem surprised. Or suprised that others aren't particularly impressed. (News Flash: having kids has been done before.) But that's a choice one makes, and there is no question that those little buggers must come first. And I've never met one of these little humans that isn't as cute as a button. However, this is an element of why I don't have kids and can drive to swaps, dinner, tours, movies, and anything I darned well please as long as I can afford the gas. You guys repopulate the world, OK? And you guys do what you gotta do, but don't expect me (and people who aren't brave enough to say so) to necessarily understand.
Well, I digress from the topic. I also happen to think it's overwhelmingly generous of Henrietta to offer to structure her space to accommodate swappers and their families and pets. Even to have kids' play stuff available! To designate an area in the shade for families? Who could ask for more? (Unless she's willing to provide nannies, in which case I want one named "Bruno" and can carry my trades and protect me from the hot sun with a parasol.)
So we hail from a wide area in the MidAtlantic region. It's fun do discover microclimates, successes and failures, and the plant proclivities of different people. It's what makes it fun.:)
I, for one, am looking forward to the fall swap!
You have 2 different Va swaps confused
Julia's was inside the beltway and with just a few of us attending the other was clear-to-hell-and-gone way out in Va
The HOST was allowing vendors as well as swappers as well as selling his stuff I guess a some sort of fundraiser for his organization.
Hi, again. Well, Christine, that message (above) was a surprise after your quick, cordial email. However, since apparently you were not peeved at me, I won't take it personally. Deal? Deal. Great.
Since you are upset that people who choose to have kids haven't made the same life choice as you, it's a good thing that they are they and you are you.
Who knows what motivated the woman who you WERE thinking about, since we don't know who it was -- whether it was children, a handicap, an aged parent to care for, a work commitment, the list goes on. There are so many things in life that people care about and are entitled to care about.
Personally, I didn't start having kids until I was 36, so the lifestyle for the infant years wasn't a surprise. I'm happy with it, and am glad that your choices make you happy.
We all can look forward to future swaps, large or small -- I had as enjoyable a time at that little local one as I had at this great large one.
I'm also looking forward to Vlad's. It's going to be a long haul for some, but I can tell you the drive is beautiful.
I can also let you know that there is a way to go 3 miles out of your way and see my gardens. Just a thought!
Julie, good for 'ya. Like I said, I'm too selfish for kids and can't pretend to understand. At least I'm honest about it! No ticking clock here.
Remember that I also still have your bag of seeds, so all is not lost if you winter sow. I have also augmented your stash with other items.
Anyway, I hail from Upper Marlboro (trying to return to topic!).
I'm in Herndon, at the far western edge of Fairfax County VA just north of US 50. It takes me about 1 to 1.25 hours to get to Burtonsville, and I thoroughly enjoyed the swap last year. This year I didn't make it, having committed to a class that meets on Saturday mornings for 9 months of the year. Unfortunately for my participation in the plant-swapping community, it's a 4-year course!
Yes, gas is a consideration these days, and I'm doing a lot of providing of plants in my immediate area. It's a lot of fun getting new or transplanted gardeners started. I've also done some swaps by mail, though I realize they aren't as cost-effective (or as much fun) as multiple swaps in person.
The VA swap at Peter's was indeed a swap, but it co-existed on the same property with a fundraising sale and a handful of invited vendors. AFAIK, none of the usual swappers chose to sell instead of swap, and many good swaps were had by those who attended. I think I also got to the MAG swap that year.
ANyhow, I'm still interested in swapping when I can, and 3 years from now, Saturday mornings in fall and spring will be available again. In the meantime, once I get used to how the coursework goes, I may be able to play hookey occasionally.
Annette, I live off Route 214. My mailing address is Upper Marlboro. The farm across the street is Bowie, to the right of me it's Anne Arundel County. To the left it's Mitchellville. I can pick, almost. Since I'm not way down Route 301 actually in Upper Marlboro, I always hesitate to say that's where I live. People think I come from a lot farther away than I actually do.
So Robyn and Annette are at the opposite ends of Route 50!
Neat that we all manage to get together.
Were there big issues at the NoVA swap at Peter's? The weather was terrible but I met some new people and I swapped for a lot of great plants. Yep I have kids. They came along and purchased some annuals from one of the vendors and I even purchase a hosta. It sure seems like the Mid Atlantic area is big enough for more than just one swap.
I am in Sterling but I have never made the "real" swap...maybe some day.

One of the persistent challenges of deploying plug-in vehicles has always been metrics: how to evaluate, regulate, incentivize and talk about them to the general public. It's complicated enough transitioning consumers from thinking about miles per gallon to miles per kilowatt hour, particularly for vehicles that refuel via both plug and pump. And within this new language, regulating automakers requires a different dialect than marketing or consumer education, to say nothing of different agency p

Handwriting Analysis Worksheet Name____________________________ Click on Document #1 from the list of documents provided. It should take you to a truTV site entitled Literary Forensics. You are going to read through that document, and you are going to answer the questions on this worksheet that pertain to that website. Your answers must be in complete sentences. 1. The beginning of the article talks about the Jack the Ripper case from the 1800's? What role did handwriting analysis play in that case? Did they find the person who was Jack the Ripper? "The handwriting was compared to known samples from Maybrick, but opinions were divided. A handwriting analyst who had been a forensic document examiner for the Chicago police believed that there was no match between Maybrick's writing and that found in the diary. However, some experts contended that the writing on Maybrick's will was actually forged, which invalidated it as a sample for comparison, and his signature on a license was considered too brief to be a fair sample. There were no other examples of his handwriting that could serve the purpose, so no conclusions were drawn from handwriting analysis." It is not conclusive that Maybrick was Jack the Ripper, and experts still are not sure who committed the murders. 2. What is the most common procedure for questioned documents in court cases? "Handwriting analysis is the most common procedure for questioned documents in a court case, so let's look at how it's done." Now click on page two of the Literary Forensics Document. 3. Handwriting is distinct and personal. (Look in first paragraph of page two). 4. What do handwriting experts study? What is expected to be the same for people when they are writing different items? "Handwriting experts study the variations in writing samples to try to determine if two (or more) different documents were written by the same person and thereby to identify the known author of one sample with the known author of a similar one. The same odd characteristics — ways of spelling a word, the particular slant or spacing, or manner of forming certain letters — are expected to show up across samples by the same person, and they're evident even when the person may be trying to conceal his or her identity." 5. What is a "standard?" Why is it important? "A known specimen written by an identified person is called the "standard" or "exemplar," and it should be as similar as possible to the questioned writing, specifically containing similar words or letter combinations." Answers will vary about why it is important. 6. What are the four primary factors for handwriting analysis? "The primary factors for analysis are divided into four categories: 1. Form — refers to the elements that comprise the shape of the letters, proportion, slant, angles, lines, retracing, connections, and curves 2. Line Quality — refers to the results from the type of writing instrument used, and the pressure exerted, along with the flow and continuity of the script 3. Arrangement — involves the spacing, alignment, formatting, and distinctive punctuation 4. Content — this is the spelling, phrasing, punctuation, and grammar" 7. What problem can occur with handwriting analysis? "Problems can occur when the writing has been deliberately disguised, such as in threatening or taunting letters. However, the form may change, but the type of words used and the sources that have influenced phrasing remain the same." 8. What is the procedure for someone asked to give handwriting examples? "If someone is asked to provide handwriting samples, the procedure is to sit him or her at a table where there will be no distraction, keeping in mind the following: 1. The subject ought not to be shown the questioned document 2. The subject is not to be told how to spell certain words or use certain punctuation 3. The subject should use materials similar to those of the document 4. The dictated text should match some parts of the document 5. The dictation should be repeated at least three times 6. The subject should be asked to sign the text 7. Make sure an objective witness observes the procedure" 9. Now pick one of the documents from pages 3-6, and analyze how handwriting analysis was used in those cases. Include specific details. Your answer should be in paragraph format. Answers will vary depending on choice of document. Now you need to pull up Document #2. You are going to use this document to compare your teacher's known handwriting to the letter left at the scene. 10. Compare the two documents. What differences are there in the two documents, and what similarities are there? Note two differences and two similarities? Also, talk about choice of words (Do both documents have similar word usage?). Answers will vary. 11. What method did you use to compare the two documents? Which of your senses did you use to compare the two documents? Answers will vary. 12. Was your teacher's note forged? There should be evidence that the note was forged. Remind students to site evidence in this paragraph. Now you are ready for the presentation part of the WebQuest. Find your other group members, and start working on the presentation. Have Fun!

5 Ideas for Throwing the Perfect Fall Birthday Bash For Your Kids
- Category: Party
- Published: 30 September 2013
It's the start of the football season, it's harvest time, and Halloween is afoot. But all those seasonal celebrations pale in comparison to your little one's birthday. This time of year offers plenty of party inspiration for fall babies.
1. Encourage Kids to Come in Costume
Image via Flickr by Steven Depolo
All kids love Halloween, but they also hate how quickly it's over. You can make the fun last a little longer with a costume party. Other parents will love the opportunity to recycle this year's Halloween outfit, while the kids will enjoy showing off their costumes to their friends. Continue the Halloween theme by reusing your holiday decorations and laying out some spooky snacks. The kids could also tell ghost stories and bob for apples to get into the holiday spirit.
2. Make a Smoothie Station
A smoothie station is a delicious and healthy way to celebrate the season's fresh produce at your fall birthday party. Make sure yours is fully stocked with an array of fresh fruit. New season apples, cranberries, grapes, and pears all work wonderfully in smoothies. Let the kids choose their favorite flavors, and keep some yogurt and honey on hand to finish their creations. Scotsman ice machines which flake ice, rather than simply cubing it, will give your smoothies that professional juice bar taste.
3. Play Roll the Gourd
This fall-inspired game of bowling is much trickier than it sounds. Line up some used soda bottles as pins. Adding a little water to the base will stop them blowing away on a windy day. Then the kids will take turns trying to knock the pins down with a rolling gourd. They'll all be in stitches watching the unevenly shaped gourds rolling every way but the right direction!
4. Break Out Some Scarecrow Cookies
Scarecrow cookies are perfect for any fall birthday with a harvest or Halloween theme. And you won't believe how simple they are to make! First cover the top of your kid's favorite cookie with some simple white frosting. This will become your scarecrow's face.
Then halve a sugar wafter, and stick it to the top of the cookie with a dollop of frosting to form the top of a hat. Place a whole sugar wafter just underneath this to form the hat's brim. You can decorate your hat with slices of candy corn, mini chocolate chips, or other candies. Some more frosting will help these adornments stick.
Then make your scarecrow's face with mini choc chip eyes, a candy corn nose, and a chocolate sprinkle mouth. Pieces of bran cereal make realistic looking straw hair.
5. Set Up a Camp Site
Older kids can take advantage of fall's temperate weather conditions with a campfire-themed birthday. They'll love the little bit of independence they feel as they camp out with close friends under the stars.
Make sure you tell your guests to bring a sleeping bag and pillow, and source some extra tents from friends. Popcorn and trail mix will fend off hunger pangs until you cook up some hot dogs for dinner. And no camping trip would be complete without roasting s'mores and drinking hot chocolate around the fire.
No matter what your child's tastes, fall offers tons of inspiration for a memorable birthday bash.

Do you have time for a quick bit of advice?
I'm getting ready to go to Home Depot to pick up supplies for building a window box for our house. The window I'm working on is the set on the right of the porch when you look at the house.
Sorry to use old pictures, but that's all I could find this morning. I hope they aren't too distracting.
As you can see, they are split like this.
I have two questions.
1. Do you think it would look better to do one long box or two shorter boxes?
2. The inside of the window and the shutters will be the dark brown you see. The trim is white. What color would you do the boxes, white or brown?
These will replace last weeks's attempt, two 24" boxes (the biggest lowe's had). DH thought they looked ridiculous against our large window.
Well I am not great at this. I would do one window edge to window edge with a few=three or so supports under the window box. I never had good luck with window boxes. I was bad able letting them dry out.:^((
Your house is so cute.
I just did this this year! I would do two smaller ones (trust me, they get SO heavy) for each window. They're super easy to make, I would use cedar for sure. Try to secure them through the back at the top and underneath with brackets. Ours probably took about six hours to make and get installed, but I had no idea what i was doing! I'll try to take a picture...
Don't make them too deep either (i made a previous set where I made all of these mistakes, they didn't work at all!) as when they're wet they're enormously heavy on the fasod of your house. I need to repaint mine, I used barn paint with a built in primer and i have to keep painting them because it keeps fading into the cedar. I also lined mine with plastic lining so the cedar isn't soaked in water all the time.
I got the pattern from a picture online and used a drill to make the design out of little holes. The brackets underneath are just wood corbels screwed over some metal brackets that do a lot of the actual supporting.
I think I'll look into the plastic liners. I'm in Atlanta, so they're sure to get dry quickly.
I ended up with 1 x 8 cedar. I had them cut it 88" long, with the idea that I could always cut it down from there if I don't like it. I'm going to have DH hold it up for me and let me see it, I think. At least that's the plan now that the rain has washed out my chance of working on it on my own this afternoon.
Enigma- I love the design you used! I might try something like that. I wonder if it impacts the moisture. Maybe I could drill just partway in? Thanks, also for your thoughts on paint. I was wondering what to use on the cedar. I believe my trim paint has a primer built in. Did you make the brackets? I couldn't find any exterior brackets, so I ended up getting shelf supports and extra wood. I thought I could rig up something like this.
I'm glad I decided to do this today. Lowe's happened to have their day lilies marked down to a dollar, so I stocked up! You can never have too many. :)
I know the boxes get heavy if you make them really deep, but I like the look of one box. Keep the wood simple, and before you drill any holes or designs in it, try painting a design on to see what looks best....then later on make it permanent.
In your mix, put some of those water crystals in, but please do not do as I did and overdo it....the pot will turn to SLIME. Your flowers will be SLIMED.....And they tell you to use a lot of peat moss, but that stuff is way too dry, so you have to get some really good potting mix. I'd prefer the MiracleGro moisture mix which helps retain water, especially if you don't want to add the moisture crystals.
If you decide to do a drain for the excess water, drill a couple of holes through the liner and the wood, and then get something like the whole end of an old waterhose and caulk it into place from the inside. Lay yourself a long piece of wire or fiberglas screen over the bottom and then pour in your potting mix. A time release fertilizer will be better to use (Osmocote) after the plants have been adjusting for a couple of weeks.
The windows on our house are in pairs separated by a wider muntin than you have. (I think the word is muntin, just saw it used the other day in a new book on residential architecture...but I could be totally wrong.) The windows read as a pair, so I'd treat the window box as a single unit beneath the pair. But you might choose to use FOUR WOODEN BRACKETS even with a single box. The more support, the less stress on your siding.
Thanks for all the advice, moccasin! It's good to get tips from someone who's had boxes before. I hope the plants make it. :) I'm starting a bit late in the season, but I don't want to wait until next spring.
I have some peat moss in the shed but will need to pick up some potting soil. I just have some cheap stuff out there now, and I certainly don't have enough for a 7 ft. window box. :) I'll look into the moisture control kind.
I can't help on the size of the boxes but I can see where one long one would be really heavy, unless you set pots inside it.
On color, I think I would go with a 3rd color, like a brick red like your walkway, or a deep green. Something that keeps it from being so monochromatic.
If you don't use red, then go withe the shutter color -- brown. Cute house!
Just to add to your decision making, I made 4'x1'x1' planters for the deck this year but I didn't want to put in a wood bottom, which would rot over time. Instead, I used the staple gun to attach (in many, many places) a double layer of heavy grade plastic. I then poked holes in the bottom for drainage, layered screening on the bottom and then filled them with dirt. I also live in the Atlanta area and it seems to me that the plastic helps keep in the moisture along with making the planters much lighter. Additionally, although the planter looks like it is 1' deep, the plastic is placed so that I have about 8" of planting depth. Have fun...next year I tackle the window boxes!

Taboola's Video Recommendation Widget Reaching Over 64 Million U.S. Unique Users Per Month
Thursday, November 10, 2011, 9:24 AM ET
Posted by
Will Richmond
video recommendation widget is now placed on pages of content publisher web sites reaching over 64 million U.S. unique users per month, according to Quantcast data. Adam Singolda, Taboola's CEO explained that the 64 million amount means Taboola's exposure is ahead of the uniques at popular sites like Bing, Pandora and CNET, and just behind Twitter, Wikipedia and Amazon, again, according to Quantcast data (see chart below).
Admittedly, it's a little bit of an apples vs. oranges comparison, because the other sites are destinations, whereas Taboola's model is to place its widget (which typically contains 4-5 thumbnail images of recommended videos) on the sites of 3rd-party content publishers, such as NY Times, Bloomberg, USAToday and others. Still, the 64 million means that Taboola's video recommendations widget is clearly being accepted by more publishers, who are implementing it on more well-trafficked pages of their sites.
Taboola's widget can provide recommendations of the content providers' own videos and/or those of other providers. Results are based on Taboola's
analysis of the user's behaviors (with both video and text content) plus the video's individual characteristics. In the past Adam has told me that in side-by-side testing with alternative recommendation approaches, Taboola has achieved 250% higher views. Video discovery and recommendations are a critical part of the ecosystem since number of views directly translates into higher monetization. As Taboola's distribution success is showing, solutions that work are in strong demand.

Jones Act
U.S. Navy Opposes Repeal of Jones Act
The news that the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Navy League support the Jones Act and oppose its repeal was applauded by Maritime Cabotage Task Force (MCTF), the national coalition representing the U.S.-flag fleet engaged in domestic waterborne commerce. Both organizations dedicated to the defense of the United States have reaffirmed their support for the law, which is directly responsible for half a million U.S. jobs and vital to national security. In response to anti-Jones Act legislation introduced earlier this year, the U.S. Navy said, "For decades, U.S. merchant mariners have provided essential support for the U.S. Navy during times of war and national crisis. Repealing the Jones Act would remove that support at a time when we are fighting two wars and facing a continuing threat from international terrorism." The statement comes within days of comments from Daniel B. Branch, Jr., president of the Navy League of the United States, highlighting the importance of a "strong commercial maritime industry" to a "maritime nation [like] the United States." The Jones Act establishes a U.S. merchant marine of skilled seafarers and U.S.-flagged ships essential for maintaining the flow of domestic and foreign waterborne commerce that is capable of serving as a naval and military auxiliary in times of war or national emergency.
Nat'l Commission Says: Jones Act No Hinderance to Spill Clean Up
The January 11, 2011 report from the non-partisan National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling confirmed the Jones Act did not prevent foreign vessels from assisting with the clean-up effort during the Deep Water Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year. "Deep Water: The Gulf Oil Disaster and the Future of Offshore Drilling" was prepared by the independent entity at the request of President Barack Obama.
OMSA - Jones Act Compliance Manager
The national trade association that is the voice for the U.S. flag workboat industry has taken the unusual step of hiring an experienced investigator to collect evidence on foreign vessels that violate the U.S. law known as the Jones Act. The Offshore Marine Service Association (OMSA) has created a new position – Manager of Jones Act Compliance – to ensure compliance with the laws requiring that vessels involved in domestic transportation be owned by Americans
Grill Retires, Maritime Cabotage Task Force
The Maritime Cabotage Task Force (MCTF) is thanking its retiring Chairman, Philip M. Grill, for his 14 years of leadership of the labor/management coalition that promotes the Jones Act and other U.S. maritime cabotage laws in Washington. Grill, who is retiring as Vice President – Government Relations for Matson Navigation Company, Inc., on July 31, has chaired MCTF since its founding in September 1995. Under his leadership
Ruling on Permanently Moored Dockside Casino
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that, for purposes of the Jones Act, a permanently moored dockside casino is not a vessel in navigation and its employees are not seamen entitled to protection under the Act. In the instant case, the casino vessel was documented and inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard, but only got underway once each year for engine and maneuvering tests. The court held that the vessel was not engaged in the transportation of passengers or cargo and was
Obama Supports the Jones Act
A campaign pledge of support for the Jones Act has earned President Barack Obama the cover spot on the 2008 Annual Report of the Maritime Cabotage Task Force, a Washington, D.C.-based coalition promoting the domestic U.S.- Flag fleet. In August 2008, then candidate Obama declared "America needs a strong and vibrant U.S.-flag Merchant Marine … That is why you … can continue to count on me to support the Jones Act…."

Horizon Lines Supports Jones Act
Horizon Lines, Inc. issued the following statement from interim President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen H. Fraser: Horizon Lines is, and always has been, a very staunch supporter of the Jones Act and all of its requirements.

Watercraft Under Construction is Not a Vessel in Navigation
The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that a watercraft under construction is not a vessel in navigation for purposes of the Jones Act. In the instant case, plaintiff allegedly incurred injuries while working on an oil drilling rig that was afloat, but not yet ready for operation and for which the required US Coast Guard certificates had not yet been issued. He brought suit under the Jones Act. The court held that the Jones Act was not applicable in that the rig was not
Jones Act Waiver Not Likely
Efforts by U.S. officials and oil firms to waive Jones Act shipping requirements and increase available oil tankers to the Northeast are so far dead in the water, the U.S. Department of Transportation said. "No one has made a credible case in the Executive branch or Congress to grant waivers or eviscerate the Jones Act," John Graykowski, acting administrator of the Maritime Administration told Reuters. The Jones Act -- which is overseen by the Department of Transportation's Maritime

Millhouse Manastorm
Battlecry: Enemy spells cost (0) next turn.
"I'm gonna light you up, sweetcheeks!"
- For the tutorial hero of the same name, see Millhouse Manastorm (hero)
Millhouse Manastorm is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Classic set.
How to get[edit]
Millhouse Manastorm can be obtained through Classic card packs, through crafting, or as an arena reward.
|Crafting cost
|Millhouse Manastorm
|Golden Millhouse Manastorm
- Millhouse Manastorm's mana cost modification effect will not be cancelled if the affected hero is replaced by Lord Jaraxxus.[1]
Millhouse Manastorm is meant to give you an early advantage in any game. If you play first he can be a turn 2 4/4, and if you go second he can be a turn 1 4/4. Either way he is extremely good for his cost early game. The only downside is that spells cost 0 for your opponent next turn, so you had better be careful what type of deck you play him against. This can have unforeseen and devastating consequences, such as early-game Pyroblast, Mind Control, or Sprint.
For this reason Millhouse Manastorm is not generally recommended beyond the early game, unless your opponent has only 1 or 2 cards in hand. He is most perilous of all against mages, who may be able to defeat your hero outright using the damage spells they have in hand. Certain mage decks such as Freeze Mage intentionally hoard damage spells over the game, making a Millhouse an invitation to unload 20 or more damage in a single turn.
If played under the right conditions, Millhouse can be a cheap 4/4, and in the first few turns can create a significant increase in tempo. In the later game his low cost tends to be fairly insignificant, while the potential for backfiring increases as the opponent's hand grows.
- Summon
- Prepare to face the mighty Millhouse Manastorm!
- Attack
- Here it comes!
- "Aaalllriiiight!! Who ordered up an extra large can of whoop-ass?"
Millhouse Manastorm is a gnome mage who was first encountered imprisoned in the Arcatraz wing of the Burning Crusade instance Tempest Keep. Originally, players had to ensure Millhouse's survival during the Harbinger Skyriss fight, who would then grant them the key to The Eye wing of the Keep. Years later, Millhouse was encountered as a convert to the Twilight's Hammer, and more recently he has been seen as a combatant in the Brawler's Guild.
For more information, see Millhouse Manastorm on Wowpedia.
During the game's alpha, Millhouse was a 4/4 with a Battlecry that generated a MEGA-BLAST!!! card for the player; a 10 mana legendary spell which dealt 5 damage to all enemies. This is referenced by the Millhouse Manastorm boss in the tutorial, when he states "Just you wait until I have 10 mana!".
Patch changes[edit]

"the hospital did not use taxpayer money to purchase the Los Gatos Community Hospital."
Reminds me of a joke: A beggar asks a man for money for food. The man says "How do I know you won't spend it on booze?" The beggar says "I already have money for booze. I just need money for food."
If they didn't buy Los Gatos then would they have needed less taxpayer money to fund operations of the MV hospital?

They don't walk to them
To beseech their shows of hands
They as a rule stay
On a raised dais and talk down
At their feet on crusade grounds
A magic moment
along today's ardent street
the application
old folk holding hands pass by...
many issues spring to mind.

For Francine Roberts Wow me in 5 lines contest.
The crowd is untrue,
Thus the need to stand aloof,
...Honestly be friends
With an honest few, is right.
Aye, the key to the victory.
Cower not under
The impulse of consumerism,
Since you aren't a beast.
Thus, to set things as always,
Means giving the best in you.

I Be, I Am, I Exist.
Being is presence.

Shrouded in secrets
Oh Whisper fortuneteller
Of this paranormal show.
Silence psychic eye
Reveal nothing more of this
Of worlds unspoken
Such wisdom requires time
I'm not sure I want to know.
Effervescent dreams
Flow down upon mother's plate
Chilled by destined fall
A time always remembered
Appearing third time of year
Season of life fades
Human apertures grow weak
Though, knowledge is strong
Love holds different stages
Bonding affections with key
Combined all blessings
Unfold into beauty bold
Each respect enriched
Of their returning faction
Crossing over great divide
To rapture rebirth
Forming times readmission
Natural recourse
Within nature is beauty
Returning humanity
Marriage is a deal
It gives love's recognition
It is a blessing
It paves the way for more care
For each other in the world
The way is not seen
The blinding lights are heavy
Covering my eyes
Long lines of saints and sinners
This world is nearing an end
Message to the class
Sometimes the words come real fast
At times they be slow
Forever though I will row
To the Master's house I go
clustered sweet stars cling
fleetingly pink white beauties
fragrant umbrellas
billowing warm pink blizzards
floating down gently on streams
*Sakura:Japanese Cherry Blossoms
Eternal wisdom
wound into the very threads
of Life's tapestry.
No human flame can burn a-

But characters can't be changed
So make good habits!

Prepare and Optimize Data Sets for Data Mining Analysis
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Getting ready a data set for examination is usually the tedious errand in a data mining task, needing numerous complex SQL queries, joining tables and conglomerating sections. Existing SQL aggregations have limitations to get ready data sets since they give back one section for every amassed bunch. As a rule, a significant manual exertion is obliged to construct data sets, where a horizontal layout is needed. The authors propose straightforward, yet effective methods to generate SQL code to return totaled sections in a horizontal even layout, giving back a set of numbers rather than one number for every line. This new class of functions is called horizontal aggregations.

The show features recent works from each artist. De Bruijn, who hails from the Netherlands, is known for his large, dramatic paintings that emulate great landscapists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and William Turner. Houston native Garcia has been painting since he was a 'tween, over time developing a signature style that combines oils, acrylics and compound texture on canvas. Glass, also a Houston native, likes to go back to basics; painting and drawing are the cornerstones of his compositions.

Eminem has today confirmed that 2013 will mark the arrival of his 8th studio album. Much like you'd expect from the rapper, the announcement came in a less-than-conventional, but straight-up Shady awesome way.
Rather than just a press release, or a mention at a live performance, or even just a cheeky tweet, Eminem has released a limited edition baseball cap with a theme inspired by the current World Series contenders, the Detroit Tigers, according to PreFix Mag.
The hat is available for purchase in both home, and away colours. You'll have to check out the official Slim Shady website to suss them out. Next year will be 3 years since the release of Eminem's Recovery, which saw the emcee recapture the attention of his millions and millions of fans all over the world.
Check out the hat below and stay tuned for more deets on this one.

We know that today's cows are responsible for producing staggering amounts of heat-trapping methane gas, a major driver of climate change, but British scientists now claim that dinosaurs with vegetarian diets may have contributed to prehistoric global warming simply by passing gas. Dr. Dave Wilkinson from Liverpool John Moores University led the study, which was published in the journal Current Biology. He told The Telegraph "Indeed, our calculations suggest that these dinosaurs could have produced more methane than all modern sources."
Sauropod dinosaurs that roamed the planet 150 million years ago may have released more methane gas into the atmosphere than all modern sources combined. Although methane does not stay in the atmosphere as long as carbon dioxide, it is 20 times more effective at trapping heat than CO2. "A simple mathematical model suggests that the microbes living in sauropod dinosaurs may have produced enough methane to have an important effect on the Mesozoic climate," Dr. Wilkinson told The Telegraph.
The researchers compared sauropods to the modern dairy and beef industry. "Global methane emissions from medium-sized sauropods that weighed about 20 tonnes would have amounted to around 472 million tonnes per year," the study concluded. That amount is roughly equivalent to the 500 million tonnes of methane released into the atmosphere today. Prior to the industrial revolution, before beef production exploded, natural methane emissions only added up to 181 million tonnes per year.

It's "revelations" like this that give industrial "apologists" arguments against global warming. It's hard to believe no one had factored animal (albeit reptile / dinosaur) methane production into climate models. How were the models validated then? "Tweaking" until it looked like it worked? How un – scientific, and un – reliable.
Humanities ability to jump to conclusions and take short cuts is what scares me about "fixing" global warming. Will we fix it, or just make something worse? Maybe we just need to adapt to the changes and let mother natures natural feedback loops work over time to address this extreme as it has others.
Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% behind stopping carbon production, and all other pollution, moving to alt energy sources, closed cycle resource use, etc.. Even without global warming it makes sense for our health, standard of living, etc..

Hudson on Public and Wildlife Trust Doctrines & the Lucas Remand
Blake Hudson (Stetson) has posted The Public and Wildlife Trust Doctrines and the Untold Story of the Lucas Remand, Columbia Journal of Environmental Law, Vol. 34, No. 1, 2009. The abstract:
Government attempts to protect ecosystems on private lands are often thwarted by Fifth Amendment takings claims demanding that "just compensation" be paid to the property owner. In the case of Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, the U.S. Supreme Court found that a state statute could survive a takings claim if the state could prove on remand that "background principles of property law" applied to the subject property. Scholarly works since Lucas have argued that "background principles" includes the public and wildlife trust doctrines. However, on remand, the state failed to assert either doctrine in defense of the statute. Though authors have focused on this aspect of the case, no author has before, to my knowledge, discussed the oral arguments presented on remand to the South Carolina Supreme Court. These arguments were neither transcribed in court documents, nor detailed in the final court order. Strikingly, during the oral argument the court actually invited the state to assert the public trust doctrine, but the state was unprepared. This invitation by the court lends important support to the argument that the doctrines may be asserted to protect environmental regulations from takings claims under the circumstances presented in Lucas. This article details the history of the two doctrines, discussing the similarities between them and demonstrating their broad application to a greater number of resources than those protected in the seminal cases. The article next analyzes the Lucas remand, focusing on the court's invitation to the state to assert the public trust doctrine. Finally, the article discusses how the U.S. Supreme Court could have decided the case without remand, by applying the doctrines directly – the nature of the doctrines would have allowed the Court to uphold the state law without violating the Constitution.

The Company You Keep will be part of a special day dedicated to American cinema on Dec. 16, also featuring a surprise Roman Polanski short and screening of Underground, the 1976 documentary about the Weather Underground movement directed by Emile de Antonio, Haskell Wexler, and Mary Lampson.
Among the highlights of the competition selection vying for the festival's Black Lion honor are Tulpa, from up-and-coming Italian horror master Federico Zampaglione, Sightseers from U.K. director Ben Whearley, and Grupo 7 from Spain's Alberto Rodriguez.
