On 24 November 2014 the Australian Parliament passed the Carbon Farming Initiative Amendment Bill 2014 (Bill) which puts in place the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF). The ERF is the cornerstone of the Australian Government's Direct Action Plan climate change policy for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It will provide AUD2.55 billion in financial incentives over four years for companies to voluntarily reduce emissions. The Government says its Direct Action Plan climate change policy will mean that Australia will meet the five percent emissions reduction target by 2020.

Rhode Island Governor Makes His Case for Marriage Equality
May 2, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Today Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee penned an op-ed for the New York Times on why he is proud and ready to sign marriage equality into law in the Ocean State.
Since his inauguration, Governor Chafee has called for marriage equality in the state as both a civil rights issue and an economic imperative.
He wrote,
A historic realignment is happening all around us, as Americans from all walks of life realize that this is the right thing to do. It is occurring both inside and outside of politics, through conversations at the office and over kitchen tables, and at different speeds in different parts of the country. But once the people have spoken, politics should do its part to make the change efficient and constructive….
I hope that leaders in capitals across the country — including Washington — will soon realize that marriage equality is an issue where doing the right thing and the smart thing are one and the same."
The Rhode Island House of Representatives is expected to approve the legislation today.
HRC is a proud member of Rhode Islanders United for Marriage, the broad and diverse coalition working to win marriage equality in the Ocean State.

A Short Report on Indian stock market fluctuations (June -July, 2010) June After the first five months of depression in the Indian stock market, the June month began with volatility because of global conditions. The Euro zone crisis hit the sentiment of the investors and the Sensex lost more than 300 points in a single trading day. No doubt the announcement of $1 trillion as a loan package gave a positive jiffy to the market and the decision of Chinese Central Bank to appreciate Yuan gave an additional momentum in the Indian stock market. The optimistic Indian stock market again reacted positive when Asia s major economy-Japan shown a positive growth rate. After declaration of quarterly results of various sectors market behave accordingly e.g. the performance of banking sector gave a positive sign to the market while capital goods industry gave a negative gesture. The performance of Small Caps (6.13%) is better than Mid Caps (4.48%) and the return of Mid Caps is same as the return of index. The short position of DIIs reacted negatively in the month of June and they became net seller of rs. 4777 crore , contrary the optimistic sentiment or long position of FIIs surged Rs. 7713 crore and they were net buyer .More or less the June month didn t show a sustainable head and shoulders movement of the index . July The July month began with a very stable positive sentiment .The government decisions on deregulations of fuel price gave boost to the index, but again the index slept down due to Bharat Bandh and unexpected rate hike by RBI. The first week of July ended with a negative flow ,no doubt selling pressure was seen on every sectors specially oil and gas because of hike on price and banking due to rate hike by RBI. The second week started with a positive note, FIIs were opted the long position but again due to the global cues (Euro-zone, high unemployment rate of U.S. , negative sentiment of Asian market) market was down. Again the market extended the gains every sector except FMCG recorded positive growth. Good monsoon and also continuous flow of money from DIIs and FIIs extended the growth of the market in the second week. The third week of July was started with a slight negative sentiment due to global cues, but the market reacted positive on quarterly result of TCS and other IT companies. We can see the same patter on next few days (ups and downs).On July 22nd , the sensex closed on 18113 (52 weeks high) same the case with Nifty. No doubt the July month is going to be more volatile than June, market touched the head position and within next few days selling pressure will down the boost of index.

Bitches Brew 40th Anniversary Collectors Edition comes out August 31, but you can pre-order your copy now at MilesDavis.com.
In 1959, trumpeter/band leader/composer Miles Davis assembled a sextet of legendary players, Cannonball Adderley (alto sax), Paul Chambers (bass), Jimmy Cobb (drums), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Bill Evans (piano) (Wynton Kelly plays piano on "Freddie Freeloader") to create "Kind of Blue," a sublime atmospheric masterpiece which continues to transport listeners a half century since its release.
This coming Sunday, July 18th, marks the 50th anniversary of the Columbia Records release of "Sketches Of Spain," one of the highlights of Miles Davis' career and modern jazz in general. On this classic record, his first after "Kind Of Blue," Miles and producer/arranger Gil Evans crafted a beautiful and passionate evocation of the music and traditions of Spain. The album's cover is also a true classic: it features the first appearance of the silhouette logo which would become the ultimate trademark of the artist.
Trumpeter and music educator Mike Metheny shares his first memories of Miles and provides deep insight into the jazz legend's improvisational genius.

Brubeck is credited with moving jazz west to California in the 1940s with his distinctive style. His 1959 album, "Time Out" is considered a jazz classic.
Miles captured deep in thought in June 1969 during the launching of his "electric" period with the groundbreaking "In A Silent Way", considered by many to be the opening salvo in the jazz-fusion revolution. More information available at http://bit.ly/milesweeklypic7

'To Catch a Thief'
There's something just soothing to me watching those long sequences without dialogue in 'Rear Window' or 'Vertigo', where Jimmy Stewart is observing his neighbors/falling asleep, or following Madeleine from place to place on the streets of San Fransisco.
I must watch each of these four films something like three times a year on average...lol. :) Good old 'comfort' films.

Book News: Amazon Debuts Its Virtual Currency
By Annalisa Quinn
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- Amazon debuted a virtual currency called "Amazon Coins" on Monday. The coins can be used to buy apps in Amazon's Appstore and on Kindle Fire. A dollar will get you 100 of the new coins, though the Internet retailer will discount coins bought in bulk. Although you can't yet buy books with Amazon Coins, the move has raised eyebrows in the publishing industry. Amazon did not respond to an inquiry about the exchange rate between its coins and the currency of Chuck E. Cheese.
- A lost journal written by poet W.H. Auden at the onset of World War II has been discovered. The notebook runs 96 pages and spans the period from August and November 1939 — around the time he wrote the poem "September 1, 1939." The Independent cites one journal passage that reads: "Paper reports German attack on Poland. Now I sit looking out over the river. Such a beautiful evening and in an hour, they say, England will be at war." The manuscript will be auctioned at Christie's in June.
- Glen Ellyn School District 41, an Illinois school district, has banned the young adult novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower from its library and classrooms after parents complained about its discussions of sex and drug use. At least they can probably still read The Diary of Anne Frank.
- For Out magazine, Bret Easton Ellis, the controversial author of American Psycho (who identifies as gay), denounces what he says is the stereotypical roles gay men play in the media: "The reign of The Gay Man as Magical Elf, who whenever he comes out appears before us as some kind of saintly E.T. whose sole purpose is to be put in the position of reminding us only about Tolerance and Our Own Prejudices and To Feel Good About Ourselves and to be a symbol instead of just being a gay dude, is – lamentably — still in media play."
- Barbara Salinas-Norman, a Chicana author and activist, was found dead in her apartment in Santa Fe, N.M., earlier this month. The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that police speculate the 70-year-old woman known as Bobbi had been dead for several months. Salinas-Norman had been a successful children's author and the founder of Piñata Publications, but she later fell out of contact with friends and family, and her home was said to be in foreclosure.

Column: Baseball needs to do more to protect fans
ATLANTA (AP) — The sound was sickening, the ball smacking off the head of an 8-year-old boy.
Fortunately, after a couple of days in the hospital, the child was back home and said to be on the road to recovery.
Baseball may not be so lucky the next time.
With fans closer to the action than ever before — and a proposed new stadium for the Atlanta Braves promising to bring them even closer — it's time for major league officials to seriously consider some sort of extra protection for those in the seats, especially in the danger zones along the first- and third-base lines.
Maybe that involves putting extra netting over the dugouts and even farther down the foul lines, similar to what was done behind the goals in hockey after a young fan was killed by a puck at a 2002 NHL game. Maybe that involves some restrictions on how old you have to be to sit in the riskiest seats, at least reducing the chance of a small child sustaining a serious injury, which happened just the other night at Turner Field.
Of course, those suggestions would likely be met with plenty of resistance from the very fans who eagerly pay big bucks to sit as close to the field as possible, who would surely be perturbed if they had to watch the game through a screen or couldn't bring their kids along.
Two nights after that frightening incident in Atlanta, when that little boy was struck in the head during the Braves' game against Milwaukee, Krista Clark and her family landed seats behind the Atlanta dugout.
Clark wasn't the least bit concerned.
"Anything can happen anywhere we are, whether it's a ballgame or anywhere else," she said, while her 8-year-old daughter, Catherine, happily gobbled up a frozen treat in the next seat. "We just try to have fun but be cautious, pay attention to what's going on around us."
Early in the game, a foul ball came in their direction.
"My son and husband were trying to catch it. I ducked over her," Clark said, smiling as she looked toward her daughter. "But I wouldn't ever not come to a game or not bring them out of worry."
Nothing wrong with that, but MLB and its teams need to consider some common-sense arrangements to make fans safer. There may be some grumbling at first, but everyone will come around if the measures aren't too intrusive.
It's never been riskier to go to a game, given the rise in pitchers who can throw 90 mph, which increases the speed of line drives rocketing into the stands. Then consider how fans get closer and closer to the action with every new baseball-specific stadium that opens, plus the wide range of activities inside the park and on their smartphones that can take their eyes off the ball, and you've got a potentially lethal combination.
Chris Miranda, who runs a consulting firm that has worked with colleges on stadium safety, said it's only a matter of time before there's more protection in front of the stands at major league games. He only hopes it doesn't take a tragedy like the one in Ohio to make it happen.

While the mystery continues, mystery goo birds get a new lease on life

Legislature needs to protect birds from non-oil spills, as well

Jordan Wellwood, director of the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary in Tiburon, writes in today's San Francisco Chronicle that we're going to see more problems with "mystery goo" spills unless the State Legislature acts to fund state agencies to respond to non-oil spills in the same way that they respond to oil spills: California's […]

I was horrified to learn last week that waterbirds were showing up dead or dying in San Francisco Bay contaminated by a mysterious sticky substance. And this problem persists even now. At the time, I was even more horrified when I discovered that most of these birds are being found in an area that we've […]

California Gov.

Oil Companies Ask to Skimp on Spill Cleanup Equipment for Arctic Ocean

Oil companies pushing to drill in the Arctic Ocean in 2015 want to cut spending by skimping on oil spill cleanup equipment.

Back in the spring of 2010, as oil began pouring from a damaged undersea well in the Gulf of Mexico, the news media searched for stories that could illustrate the environmental damage for the American public. Just a few days into the Deepwater Horizon disaster, such a story ran, announcing the discovery and subsequent rescue […]

Another loss for the lead lobby
July 13th, 2014 · Comments Off · Audubon California, Bird conservation, Lead ammunition, Pollution
The New York Times editorial board takes note of yet another loss for those who will argue that lead from ammunition in our environment is just fine: So much for another hard workweek in the Senate. The one accomplishment was the unintended protection of the E.P.A.'s authority over lead. Now the agency should protect the […]

The sad legacy of toxic lead in the wild continues
October 4th, 2013 · 2 Comments · Audubon California, Lead ammunition, Pollution
Following the transmitter's signal, it didn't take me long to find the body of the three-year-old California condor, lying sprawled in the grass beneath a giant pine snag, its nine-and-a-half foot wings half-opened from its body. The date was March 22, 1984 and the foothills of southern Tulare County were spectacular with lush green fields […]

Manchester United and Belgium midfielder Marouane Fellaini has insisted that he has nothing to prove amid rumours that he could be allowed to leave Old Trafford this summer, reports the Daily Mail.
The former Everton star endured a difficult first season at Man Utd after being signed for £27m towards the end of the summer transfer window. He failed to score and was often criticised as the team struggled collectively and finished in 7th place, failing to qualify for Europe.
Rumours have surfaced over recent days that new Man Utd boss Louis van Gaal has instructed the club to sell Fellaini, who he reportedly believes is not of sufficient calibre to play for the Red Devils. Some suggestions state that United are now willing to listen to offers as low as £15m for Fellaini.
When quizzed on his future with his club side, Fellaini was coy, saying: 'I don't have to prove (anything) - I've been a professional footballer for eight years. We will see after the World Cup.'
Fellaini is expected to be part of the Belgium team which takes on Argentina in the first of Saturday's World Cup quarter-finals, having scored once during their campaign so far.

Master of Science in Ministry
The Master of Science in Ministry prepares students for various ministries in the churches. The curriculum designates specific courses, yet is broad enough to provide the basic insights necessary for participation in both the thought and life of the church. The M.S. is suitable for those who have a limited time for graduate study, or for persons who wish basic training for ministry.
Transfer of Credits
For degree purposes, upon approval of the Religion Division Chairperson, a maximum of two courses totaling no more than eights units of graduate work may be transferred towards the M.S. in Ministry. All transfer work must be from regionally accredited colleges and universities, completed at a graduate level and no work with a grade lower than B will be accepted.
Our classes are offered at a variety of times to accommodate those students currently serving in full-time ministry positions. We offer small class sizes providing an intimate learning environment in which graduate students develop close relationships with mentoring faculty who are leaders in their disciplines.
Program Requirements
Each candidate for the M.S. in Ministry will be required to take 12 units in each of the three categories listed below for a total of 36 units. These requirements assure a well-rounded program in ministerial preparation.
(A) Biblical Studies: 12 units, including REL 502 Introduction to Biblical Interpretation and one course in both Old Testament and New Testament.
(B) Ministry: 12 units, including REL 646 Theology of Ministry and two additional ministry courses.
(C) Christian Thought and Church History: 12 units, including
1) REL 503 Old Testament Theology (4)2) one course in Church History, choose from the following:
3) one course in Christian Thought, choose from the following:
- REL 531 Christian History and Theology I: Ancient and Medieval (4)
- REL 532 Christian History and Theology II: Reformation and Modern (4)
- REL 537 History of the Reformation (4)
- REL 538 History and Religion in America (4)
- REL 539 History of the Restoration Movement (4)
- REL 635 American Moral Traditions (4)
- REL 520 The Christian Faith (4)
- REL 521 Modern Christian Thought (4)
- REL 522 Contemporary Christian Thought (4)
- REL 524 Christian Ethics (4)
(D) Comprehensive Examinations: At the conclusion of all required course
work, students must pass comprehensive examinations consisting of one day of
written examinations and one hour of oral examinations.
M.S. in Ministry with Certification in Dispute Resolution
A program offered jointly by the Religion Division and the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at the Pepperdine School of Law enables students to earn both degrees with only four additional units beyond what is required to complete the two degrees independently. Students must apply and gain admission to each school independently. Admission into one school does not guarantee admission to the other. Requirements for the joint program are the same as those for the independent Master of Science in Ministry degree except as follows-- In place of two courses (8 units) required in the ministry category, students will take 12 units in the School of Law as follows:
- Negotiation and Settlement Advocacy (2)
- Mediation Seminar (2)
- Interviewing, Counseling, and Planning (2)
- One Arbitration course (2)
- Two additional courses in dispute resolution (4)
(Mediation Clinic and Dispute Resolution in Religion are recommended)

Video: North Korea clip threatening to nuke Colorado Springs puts city closer to Texas
Last week's Off Limits column noted that North Korea's threats of nuking the United States initially omitted Colorado from its target list. Now, however, a video on Uriminzokkiri, a North Korea government Web site, puts Colorado Springs in the cross-hairs -- sort of. As 7News notes, the clip mentions the Springs, but the location is shown as somewhere around east Texas or west Louisiana. Close, but no exploding nuclear cigar.
Experience the terror/hilarity below. The key section is around the one minute, twenty second mark.

So today, I did something that I'm not proud of. After coming home tonight, I ate my weight in Ruffles chips. I can blame it on a lot of things… hormones, stress levels, hunger, but truthfully, I don't know what initiated it. For now, I'll say that it all culminated in the perfect storm. I was feeling very stressed by the time I left work tonight, as well as hungry, tired, and emotional. I should have just gone home and eaten something and let myself relax, but instead, I went grocery shopping. (Note to self: don't go food shopping when feeling hungry and emotional) Seeing the chips on sale was just too much. Normally, this shouldn't be a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with buying chips. But there IS something wrong with eating more than half a bag in one sitting.
The Culprit
Emotional eating is the worst! I don't know how my mind reasoned that eating something unhealthy could make me feel better. First off, junk food can only make me feel good in the moment – as soon as that moment is over, my body instantly doesn't feel good. Secondly, in addition to all those other emotions I was feeling beforehand, I can now add guilt on to the list. Next time, I really need to avoid shopping on an empty stomach and also focus on doing/eating things that are going to make me feel better, not worse when I'm feeling down. It can be so easy to get caught up in destructive or defeating behavior. Tomorrow morning can not come fast enough now! I'm hoping the overstuffed feeling will be gone by then and I can go back to foods that actually make me feel better after I eat them.
The afternoon included an apple that I picked up from the cafeteria at work. It wasn't the freshest fruit in the world and I didn't have the best knife to cut it up with. So things got a little mushy, but the taste was still there!
As I mentioned above, I finally caved in and made a trip to the grocery store almost an entire week after I initially thought that I needed to go. I have a lot of thoughts about my food budgeting/buying habits and am going to save them for a separate post to come tomorrow. There are a few new characters in my regular cast of items, most notably, Lara bars! These are all over the blog world and I can't wait to give them a shot!
Well bloggies, that's all for tonight. I promise tomorrow will be filled with nurturing food that will make you feel just as good seeing it as I'm going to feel eating it!
Does anyone else emotional eat? Please tell me I'm not the only one! How do you move on from it or prevent it?

Workers in the US have won a significant victory in their struggle for dignity and a living wage.
This week Walmart announced that within one year, all current Walmart employees will be paid at least $10/hour, and that newly-hired workers will start at $9.00/hour, with a real opportunity to earn $10/hour with six months.
While still far below a basic living wage of $15/hour, the increase does represent a recognizable improvement over the poverty-level $7.25/hour (the US federal minimum wage) that most Walmart workers now earn. And because Walmart is the largest private employer in the country – (Read more…)

French industrial designer and architect Jean Marie Massaud's delicately engineered seating for B&B Italia pays homage to Eero Saarinen's iconic midcentury-modern TWA terminal at New York's JFK airport. Perched atop a metallic frame, the birdlike molded plastic and upholstered leather body is all swooping lines and aerodynamic curves (approx. $13,436; BeBItalia.com).— Rachel Lexier

Since Paleolithic times, human societies have singled out fossil sea urchins as something unique and important. These fossils have been found, sometimes by the hundreds, in burial mounds, fashioned into ancient tools and beads, or used as good luck talismans. Around Europe these odd fossils have been called shepard's crowns, sheep's hearts, fairy loaves, snakes eggs and thunderstones. Even in more recent historical times, these beautiful fossils have been singled out to decorate churches or lined up along the windowsills of rural homes to ward off bad luck. But why have cultures for so long been fascinated with these very odd stones? Tonight on Inquiry we speak with KENNETH J. McNAMARA, senior lecturer in the Department of Earth Sciences and fellow of Downing College at the University of Cambridge. His new book, part paleontology, part anthropology and part folklore history has some of the answers: THE STAR-CROSSED STONE: THE SECRET LIFE, MYTHS AND HISTORY OF A FASCINATING FOSSIL.
At the end of the Ice Age, an amazing number of species large and fantastic mammals went suddenly extinct. For a long time most paleontologists believed it was climate change that caused this mass extinction event. But recently, some scientists began to find evidence that perhaps invading humans wiped out all the mammoths, mastodons, giant sloths by over hunting them. Tonight on Inquiry, we welcome science writer SHARON LEVY who has spent time with scientists on both sides of this hotly contested debate and has also looked into a similar situation in Australia. Is there in fact a "deadly syncopation" in that every time humans come in contact with large wildlife, the animals rapidly become extinct? Tune in and find out. Levy's wonderful book is titled ONCE AND FUTURE GIANTS: WHAT ICE AGE EXTINCTIONS TELL US ABOUT THE FATE OF EARTH'S LARGEST ANIMALS.

Pianist and singer Bobby Short was a champion of American Popular Song and an institution among cabaret singers — he had a gig at the Carlyle in New York for over 35 years. Short accompanies his unforgettable voice as he and McPartland explore some of the lesser known chapters of the Great American Songbook, including "Shout 'Em Aunt Tillie" and Jimmy McHugh's "Where Are You."
William Smith Monroe (September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996)
As singer, songwriter, bandleader, showman, and instrumentalist, no individual is so closely identified with an American musical style as Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass Music. For more than half a century, he shaped bluegrass with his forceful mandolin playing; high, lonesome singing; and mastery of his band, the Blue Grass Boys. In doing so, he gave older country sounds new life; gave the mandolin a new role as a lead instrument in country, pop, and rock; and set standards for musicians as diverse as the Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, George Jones, and rock star Jerry Garcia.
On Tuesday evening, September 13th, the Bluegrass Junction will pay tribute to our music's founding father with a show dedicated to his wonderful music.

|Beltran exits World Series game with bruised ribs
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 23 October 2013 16:59
Beltran went to the hospital for X-rays.
Beltran went back against the low wall and caught Ortiz's drive with the bases loaded for the second out in the second inning Wednesday night. David Ross scored on the sacrifice fly to make it 5-0.
Beltran was holding his side and pressing his chest in the outfield before the inning ended. His was due up fourth in the top of the third, and Jon Jay was waiting in the on-deck circle when the half-inning ended. Jay went to center field, and Shane Robinson shifted from center to right.

However, the accessibility of this technology means that fewer designers know how to draw by hand, express their ideas spontaneously, and  brainstorm effectively.In a unique board binding that mimics a sketchbook, Drawing Ideas provides a complete foundation in the techniques and methods for effectively communicating to an audience through clear and persuasive drawings.

Living with Wine Passionate Collectors, Sophisticated Cellars, and Other Rooms for Entertaining, Enjoying, and Imbibing
Written by Samantha Nestor and Alice Feiring
Hardcover, 256 pages | Potter Style | House & Home; Antiques & Collectibles - Wine; Architecture - Design & Drafting | $75.00 | 978-0-307-40789-4 (0-307-40789-6)
America's love of wine has spurred a collecting and entertaining phenomenon.

Some of America's most passionate oenophiles have re-invented the wine cellar as an inviting and beautiful part of the home.

True collectors love to share their passion, and this book offers a tour of their distinctive cellars. Created with the help of some of the best designers in the field, these rooms blend luxurious design aesthetics with ingenious storage solutions. The thirty stunning spaces featured include a traditional wood cellar finished with rich paneling and ornate lighting; a cathedral-like space that showcases ironwork inspired by the French Quarter of New Orleans (and has a secret entry from a library inside the house); an inviting living room lined with temperature-controlled wood alcoves behind insulated glass; and an Old World terra-cotta cellar–within a sprawling entertainment center that includes a wet bar, a billiards table, and a tasting room.

Living with Wine reveals the details that make the cellars a welcoming place to return–from the materials, artwork, lighting, and cutting-edge preservation technology to the way the space harmonizes with the rest of the house. From the Bay Area to Boston, Napa to New York, homeowners such as Nancy and John Lasseter, the founder of Pixar Studios; American Idol host and TV and radio personality Ryan Seacrest; and entrepreneur Rick Ryan share insights into what they collect, why they started collecting, and how they designed their spaces to fit their passion.

This elegant volume shows what it means to love and collect wine.

Hardcover, 624 pages | Watson-Guptill | Architecture - Design & Drafting | $95.00 | 978-0-8230-7298-9 (0-8230-7298-3)
This book, the most comprehensive and basic working tool available to the design professional, encompasses every area of expertise required in the practice of contemporary interior design.

Architects, interior designers, drafters, specifiers, and designers and manufacturers of building materials, furnishings, and equipment for interiors will find essential specification data and thousands of fully metricated, dimensioned drawings of interiors and the components of interiors. The range is vast: materials that range from hinges for cabinet doors to ceramic tiles for tub enclosures; drawings of standard and custom millwork for hundreds of specific interior applications; detailed dimensioned plans for custom casework; fully dimensioned room layouts keyed to drawings of individual details; illustrations, with dimensions, of standard and special-purpose furnishings and equipment. Throughout, acknowledged industry standards are given—as are specifications and notes about usage. Vital information about flammability and life safety factors and accessible barrier-free requirements is also given wherever it is applicable.

To facilitate quick access, the book is organized in three parts, with CSI Masterformat code numbers used throughout. Part one covers standard dimensions of manufactured interior components, including basic graphic and design elements; architectural millwork and hardware; partitions and doors; windows and skylights; interior finishes, specialties, and equipment; stairs and ramps; and lighting.

The second part deals with residential graphic and design standards, and the third part covers commercial graphic and design standards—public washrooms, commercial offices, banks, retail spaces, health studios, restaurants and bars, hotels and motels, medical and dental offices, libraries, and places of worship.

A complete resource book, Interior Graphic and Design Standards includes lists of industry associations, glossaries of terms, size charts, conversion tables, and practical checklists of steps in the design process. There is an extensive keyword index, giving page references as well as CSI Masterformat code numbers, and a complete alphabetical listing of data sources.

New Futurama Movie Coming in June 126
from the good-news-everyone 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).
And as for the "fart joke" factor, I'm not sure what you even mean. Specific examples?
Also, did anyone else notice that Bender's Big Score suffered from "jaggies" on many straight lines through the animation? I noticed a similar, though not as severe, effect on the Simpsons Movie once it was released to DVD as well.
I'd like to see more "Scary Door", though a full length episode of that would be missing the point.
About halfway through Bender's Big Score, I got the "aren't we done yet?" feeling. But I got into it again after that. I'm used to watching 5 episodes at a time, though. I'm still looking forward to the remaining movies, and anything that might come after that.
And the winner of the best animated series to return to us via DVD is
Should have been "...The show's entire voice cast and most of its main writers have returned to help revive the series, which FOX stupidly cancelled in 2003.'" There, I fixed it for you."...The show's entire voice cast and most of its main writers have returned to help revive the series, which FOX cancelled in 2003.'"
In what Fox is calling the most tentacle-packed Futurama epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. What lies beyond is a mix of horror and love
Ha! And they called me a fool for getting a giant "I [heart] Cthulu" tattoo on my torso. What started out as Pascal's Wager [wikipedia.org] with the Old Ones [wikipedia.org], has turned into cartoon-pop-culture-indirect-reference coup d'etat! I can already feel myself becoming cooler.
I only need two more developments to vindicate my tattoo choices: a massive, popular uprising of Schmoo [wikipedia.org] fanatics, and technology capable of generating the Care-bear Stare [wikipedia.org] with skin grafts.
