The tax would start at 15 cents a gallon, raising an estimated $3.6 billion dollars a year. Most of the revenue would provide a tax credit for families earning less than $75,000; the rest, to mass transit systems.
Steinberg says California must respond to climate change – and that will sting. "But I am concerned about who we sting," Steinberg told the Sacramento Press Club Thursday. "I say we return the majority of the money to the people who can least afford to foot the bill and who are already suffering most environmentally from the impact of climate change."
Steinberg's proposal drew criticism from environmental advocates. Sen. Fran Pavley (D-Agoura Hills), who wrote California's landmark greenhouse gas reduction law, says a carbon tax would conflict with AB 32's overall goal of reducing climate change "… because it sends mixed signals to the major emitters – where some now are under a cap required to roll back, other people get a free pass, the motorists pay."
The oil industry is neutral, but business groups don't like the proposal. They argue companies and consumers would pay more at the pump. In fact, Steinberg acknowledges gas prices will go up regardless – under cap-and-trade or a carbon tax. "And it may not be popular to say, but that's necessary. Higher prices discourage demand."
That prompted this response from Peter DeMarco with the Senate Republican Caucus: "At least now we're beginning to see a transparent listing of how much AB 32 regulations are gonna cost Californians."
As for Governor Jerry Brown, his office reiterated his opposition to new taxes this year.

Sorry to disappoint. My
Sorry to disappoint. My elderly Mom and I both wrote in Ron Paul. LOL In fact, my Mom originally checked the box for Johnson, then thought better of it and requested a new ballot so she could write in Dr. Paul. :) Hand counted paper ballots here in my area of NH, so those votes will count.

Granderson is all smiles after his donationCredit: Roberta Dupuis-Devlin/UIC Photo As if Curtis Granderson needed anything more on his resume of being known as one of the "good guys" of baseball, he padded it anyway. Probably doesn't even care if he gets publicity. The New York Yankees outfielder donated $5M to the University of Illinois – Chicago to upgrade their stadium, according to Chicago Business Sports blogger Danny Ecker. A native of Lynwood in the southern suburbs of Chicago, Granderson played three years at UIC (2000-2002), finishing his senior season batting .483 (2nd in the nation) and being named Horizon League Player of the Year. He wasn't just a baseball player awaiting the draft, as according to UIC, he double majored in business marketing and business administration. He's obviously realized that giving back is part of the responsibility of those blessed with business income. Concept view of Curtis Granderson StadiumCredit: ChicagoBusiness.com Granderson's donation is the lion's share of the $7M needed and the stadium will bear the 3-time all star's name. As part of the upgrade, the stadium will add capacity to over 1000 and be used for Chicago Public Schools and various youth programs. Granderson is also the founder of Grand Kids Foundation, which according to the website: Donations to the Grand Kids Foundation will go towards grants to schools nationwide to help fund educational field trips, art initiatives, science initiatives and the increasing need for foreign language software. The foundation also supports inner city baseball programs through equipment donations. It's great to see an athlete "get it" and give back to those in need and had a role in getting him where he is today. -David Whitlock (@lhd_on_sports) Follow us on Twitter @rbts_baseball The post Curtis Granderson gives back to his alma mater, donates $5M for new stadium appeared first on Reading Between The Seams.

THW – Savaged!
Behind what you see going on in this blog, I'm thinking about how I could marry up my current favourite RPG (Savage Worlds) with the THW reaction system, so that I can use something like Warrior Heroes or Larger Than Life to drive the campaign and the scenario – there's nothing better than THW for same-side or solo play, at least as far as I know.
My current view is that I should count half the relevant trait die type as the character's Rep or skill level. That would mean the typical NPC, with a d6 in attributes and skills, would have either Rep 3 or skill level 3; the typical Novice PC has a d8 or d10 in whatever he's good at, which would make him Rep 4 or 5 – a good match for a beginning THW Star. Still thinking this through, but it has potential, I feel.
The Arioniad – Scene 12
We last saw Arion and Dmitri walking down a tunnel full of stars, into a glowing pyramid, in the middle of Cyrene's jungle. Is the big bad here? 1d6 vs 1: 1, so yes. Hmm, and I actually had the storyline plotted out for this encounter – never mind, it'll get used at some point. I roll a 6 for Schrodinger's objective – capture a member of the Star's group. That could be Dmitri or the Dolphin, but if Schrodinger is also inside the pyramid, it makes most sense that it would be Dmitri, since we know Schrodinger has already tried that once; I considered having Our Heroes return to the starport to find the Dolphin missing, but it seemed less logical. Is it day or night? 1d6 vs 3: 4, night.
Let's set the stage; I roll 2d6 against the Lost World column of location table on p. 40 (because that's the current location type) and get a 5, rough mountainous terrain. This means line of sight is only 12″ and combat movement is halved. Now we assemble the cast. First I add together the Reps of Arion's group: 8. Then I add the Big Bad's Rep (6) to 1d6 (3) and the number of clues solved so far (2) for a total of 11. The Number of Enemy Table on p. 42 shows that Schrodinger's group has a Rep equal to Arion's. Schrodinger may be leading them in person; 1d6 vs 1: 4, so not. As a Big Bad, Schrodinger can recruit from any list he likes, so let's go with the King Beast table since he is a shaman of the King Beast at the heart of this adventure. I go to that list and start rolling; a 7, 1d6 warriors (2) at Rep 4 – that's 8 Rep in total, so we're done; the notes below that table show me that the warriors are armed with Primitive Weapons. The table on p. 18 shows me that they are skilled in Melee and use the Military reaction tables. There may be Innocent Bystanders present; however, there is no suitable entry on the Innocent Bystanders table (p. 43), so I decide there are none – hey, we're inside an ancient pyramid reachable only via a dimensional portal, so that seems fair.
Arion and Dmitri emerge from the portal tunnel, down a steep slope into a lush jungle. A waterfall in the distance fills both eyes and ears with beauty. This is overshadowed momentarily by the roar of a large, ferocious beast, and the crashing of undergrowth as it moves closer.
"What in the Nine Hells is that?" asks Dmitri.
"Big enough not to argue with," Arion responds. Here in the wilderness the roles are reversed; he is the expert, and Dmitri the newbie. "Wait – who are they?"
Working my way down p.43, I place the leaders of the groups 6 + 1d6 (3) = 9″ apart, with the followers within 12″ of their leaders but no closer together. The upper hand test is now needed; each side's leader rolls as many dice as his Rep, and there are no modifiers so it's anyone's game. Arion rolls 1, 2, 1, 5 and passes 3d6. The lead warrior rolls 3, 4, 2, 1 and passes 3d6. We discard successes and continue to roll. (This is the only part of the THW rules that feels clunky to me; I preferred the CR 2.0 approach of rolling against Rep, I just don't see how this adds to the gameplay. However, I know that THW rules interact in ways neither obvious or trivial, so I'll roll with it for now.) Round 2 – Arion: 1, 1, 2 = pass 3d6. Warrior: 5, 1, 2 = pass 2d6. Round 3 – Arion: 3, 5, 4 = pass 1d6. Warrior: 1, 2 = pass 2d6. Round 4 – Arion: 2 = pass 1d6. Warrior: 5, 6 = pass 0d6. Gaining the upper hand is now resolved, and Arion scored one more success; the results table on p. 44 shows that all will fire if possible, otherwise charge into melee. Combat begins; this doesn't look like it is complex enough to need a table set up, so I won't bother; there are only two groups, each with two people, so noting movement along a notional line should suffice.
Two figures with the distinctive earrings, scars, and ceremonial fighting knives of Gimirri warriors step out of the undergrowth and glare at Our Heroes.
"Umm, hi," Arion tries. "We were hoping…"
But we never find out what Arion is hoping, as with a fierce war-cry, the warriors surge forwards towards him.
Turn 1: Activation. Arion rolls a 1, as does the lead warrior. Both sides activate, and act at the same time. Arion is the only one with a gun, and doesn't much fancy mixing it up with two knife-wielding fanatics, so he feels no need to move. The other three will all charge (at half speed because of terrain, namely 4″).
Arion shoots at the lead warrior. Checking p. 50 I see this means he rolls as many dice as his Shooting skill (2) plus his weapon's fire dice (1); any result of 1 is a hit. 3d6 vs 1: 6, 6, 6. That's no use! Still, it provokes a crisis test for the warrior who has been shot at. He rolls 2d6 vs Rep (4): 2, 3 = pass 2d6, so he should fire; but p. 50 says he can't when out of range, which he is (9″ away with a weapon having a 6″ range).
Dmitri and the two warriors now charge (I figure bullets move faster than people, so resolved the shooting first). That sounds like they're trying to fast move into contact, so I roll 2d6 vs Rep (4) for each of them: Dmitri 5, 6 = pass 0d6 and moves 4″. Lead warrior 1, 2 = pass 2d6 and move 4″ + 2.5″ (5″, halved for terrain) = 6.5″. Second warrior 1, 3 = pass 2d6 so 6.5″. However, if I were using figures, they'd be on 1″ bases, so any within 1″ of each other are in base to base contact, triggering melee. I guess one warrior will tackle Dmitri (they are trying to capture him) while the other will charge Arion (to take the gun out of the equation).
This is not going to end well, as both sides roll dice equal to their Melee skill. The warrior has 4d6, and Dmitri has – errm, 0d6, actually, and even that is reduced by 1d6 for not having a melee weapon. I really should've checked that before I charged with him, come to think of it. Oh well, we're here now… Warrior: 3, 4, 5, 6 and pass 1d6. Dmitri automatically fails, and by the table on p. 51 is wounded and reduced to Rep 3. That means he must roll on the Law Enforcement Crisis Table: 2d6 vs Rep: 2, 4 = pass 1d6, and because he is wounded rather than dazed, he is Out Of the Fight.
At the end of turn 1, then, the imaginary line of combatants looks like this:
Arion <2.5″> Lead Warrior <1.5″> Dmitri (OOF) and second warrior.
Arion draws his pistol and fires, but misses. Dmitri howls in rage, and races past Arion to counter-charge the oncoming foes. A vicious infighting move too fast to see clearly drops him to the ground as one of the Gimirri leaps into the air and kicks Dmitri in the head.
Turn 2, and already I feel I can run this just with the quick reference charts, so this is easier to pick up for me than other THW games have been. Activation: Arion 4, warriors 3. Both sides activate but Arion goes first, and being a Runt who would roll at -1d6 in melee he shoots the closest warrior. 2d6 vs 1 (down 1d6 because the target is fast moving): 4, 1 = pass 1d6. The warrior is wounded, Rep reduced by one, and takes a crisis test. 2d6 vs Rep (now 3): 3, 5 = pass 1d6, and because he is wounded he is now OOF. Hah! Take that, evildoers!
The second warrior is only 4″ from Arion (I really must remember to step back in these situations) and is thus able to close to melee without fast moving. This doesn't look good; Arion scrabbles to drag his knife out and rolls 1d6 (2d6 for skill, less 1d6 for being a Runt) vs 3: 1 = pass 1d6. The warrior rolls 4d6 vs 3: 4, 4, 3, 6 and passes 1d6. Both now reroll successes: Arion 1d6: 3, pass 1d6. Warrior 1d6: 2 = pass 2d6. Reroll again. Arion 1d6: 4 = pass 0d6. Warrior 1d6: 4 = pass 0d6. Hmm, a tie. Both sides have zero successes, which means I should add the scores of the tossed d6 and the high score wins. If I do that only for the last round there is no high score; over any other period the warrior would win simply because he has more dice. I decide to proceed to another turn, with the antagonists locked in melee still.
Arion fires again at the closest warrior, and drops him. The second warrior flips back to his feet and charges Arion before he can switch targets. Arion drops his pistol, pulls out his knife and the two antagonists stab each other – but each grabs the other's knife arm with his free hand. As they struggle, the Gimirri hooks Arion's legs out from under him and they fall to the ground.
At the end of turn 2, the range line is: Arion and warrior in melee <2.5″> OOF warrior <1.5″> OOF Dmitri.
Arion and the warrior roll around in the dirt, right up to the cliff edge (this is pulp, of course there is a cliff edge). Arion turns his head to look down as the two grapple, each holding the other's knife hand and trying to avoid being stabbed.
Turn 3 activation: Arion 3, warrior 2. Both activate, Arion goes first. 1d6 vs 3: 1 = pass 1d6. Warrior 3, 5, 5, 6 = pass 1d6. Reroll. Arion: 4 = pass 0d6. Warrior: 4 = pass 0d6. We could be here all night at this rate. (See what I mean about rerolls? I don't get it.)
Turn 4 activation: Arion 5, warrior 2. Warrior activates and Arion doesn't, although I don't see that it matters currently. I can't see a way for figures to voluntarily break off melee, so we'll press on. Arion: 1d6 vs 3: 3 = pass 1d6. Warrior: 4d6 vs 3: 4, 2, 3, 6 = pass 2d6. Reroll successes. Arion: 5 = pass 0d6. Warrior: 2, 5 = pass 1d6. Arion is wounded and his Rep reduced by one – but wait; Arion is a Star and has Star Power 2. He thus rolls 2d6 vs 3 to soak that wound… 2, 5 so pass 1d6 and soak one wound.
Gaining a temporary advantage, the Gimirri lunges, and stabs his knife into Arion's shoulder – but it's only a flesh wound, and the struggle continues.
Turn 5 activation: Arion 1, warrior 4. Both activate, warrior goes first. Warrior: 4d6 vs 3: 6, 5, 6, 2 = pass 1d6. He is not doing well at all. Arion: 1d6 vs 3: 4, pass 0d6. Time to roll Star Power again: 2d6 vs 3: 3, 4 and soaks the wound again.
The melee continues, and as Arion pushes the knife away from his left eye it leaves a scratch across his face.
Turn 6: I give up on activation as I don't see how it helps. Arion: 1d6 vs 3: 3 = pass 1d6. Warrior: 4d6 vs 3: 3, 6, 5, 3 = pass 2d6. Reroll successes. Arion 6 = pass 0d6. Warrior 1, 3 = pass 2d6. This will be Wounded, OOF and Rep reduced by one; Star Power to the fore, please. 2d6 vs 3: 1, 1 and soaks two wounds. Hah, we're tougher than the average bear.
Turn 7: Arion 3 = pass 1d6. Warrior 1, 5, 5, 3 = pass 2d6. Star Power 2, 6 so the wound is soaked, but a 6 means I have to discard that Star Power die for the rest of the scene.
Turn 8: Arion passes 1d6, warrior passes 2d6. Star Power effectively 1; 3, wound soaked.
Turn 9: Arion passes 1d6, warrior passes 2d6. Star Power fails to soak the wound, so Arion is Wounded and his Rep reduced by one to 3. He must now take a crisis test; 2d6 vs Rep (3): 5, 6 = pass 0d6. Arion is Out Of the Fight, and the remaining Gimirri holds the field of battle.
The brutal melee continues unabated for several minutes, but at length the Gimirri headbutts Arion, snapping his head into a nearby boulder. He goes limp. The Gimirri leader rises from the unconscious Arion, sheathes his knife and looks down at the body.
"You fought well, for an offworld weakling," he pants, wiping blood and sweat from his brow. "You deserve to live, at least for now. I shall take you to the Beast Lord."
Well, it wouldn't be pulp without the Star being captured at least once, would it? Scene 13 will occur in Schrodinger's lair, and will no doubt include the obligatory soliloquy from the Big Bad, and an easily-escapable death trap.
The Arioniad: Scenes 9, 10 and 11
Or more properly, just scenes 10 and 11, as I glossed over scene 9 at the end of scene 8. Don't worry, you haven't missed much; scene 9 was a travel scene in which nothing happened. However, I've decided that since travel scenes are generally quiet, I'll merge them into the next story advancing scene unless something interesting happens. I still picture them mentally as one of the montages from Indiana Jones, with a map superimposed over footage of a vehicle, and a red line moving across the map to show travel.
Meanwhile, Arion and Dmitri are en route to the Cyrene Pyramid. I know that they must now find someone and get a clue from him (or her), but there is nothing in the storyline to say that they know that, so I shall proceed as if they didn't. Many years of refereeing RPGs has made it easy for me to separate what I know from what the little lead figures know.
Is the Big Bad here? 1d6 vs 1: 3. No, he isn't. That is good, because I'm a little short on time tonight. Is it day or night? 1d6 vs 3: 5, so night.
It's late the following night, and Arion and Dmitri and seated around a campfire eating supper. The Pyramid is visible nearby over the jungle canopy, because it glows in an eldritch manner. Their campsite is on the remains of an ancient stone road, much overgrown but still visible in places, and marked periodically with stone pillars carved in the shape of robed humanoid figures, holding globes above their heads.
"The pilot's notes for Cyrene don't mention that Pyramid glowing in the dark," Arion says.
"I wish you hadn't bet the whisky on that shooting challenge," Dmitri grumbles. "It was the only thing keeping the bugs off. I think it makes sweat smell funny."
"I don't mind losing the whisky so much. The bigger problem is that Galen went back to town with them. I keep wondering why he did that."
Next I determine the difficulty of finding our contact by rolling 2d6 and taking the lower score: 1, 2 so the difficulty is 1, and with neither a suitable skill for finding people in jungles nor any locale modifiers, it stays at 1.. That shouldn't be too hard. Arion rolls 2d6 vs Rep (4): 1, 5 so pass 1d6. The contact rolls 2d6 vs Difficulty (1): 1, 5 so pass 1d6. Our Heroes and the contact pass the same number of d6, so no chance to find a clue.
"Admit it," Dmitri says. "You haven't got a clue what you're doing. What we need is a trusty native guide, like that guy." He gestures with his spoon at nearby pillar.
Their contact would have been a robed figure had they found him. I have already mentally tagged him as a representative of the Psionics Institute, which is by tradition in Classic Traveller a shadowy and covert organisation of mysterious motives – just the thing. He didn't turn up this time, but he might in future scenes. Or maybe I've been watching too many reruns of The Champions lately.
I now roll on the Advance the Story table (p. 30): 1d6 + Rep (4) + clues found (2) = 12. Get info from someone in a Story Advancing Scene. (I need at least two more clues before I can move off this entry in the chart. I'm toying with the idea of importing exploding dice from Savage Worlds for this, to speed up progress.) OK. Another Travel Scene coming up; the Where To Next table and 1d6 tell me Arion must now move to a Lost World, and the Available Transport table says On Foot. I roll 1d6 vs 1 for an encounter: 2, so no encounter while travelling.
"Dmitri," says Arion, "See the Pyramid? There's a circular patch near the bottom that isn't glowing. I didn't notice it earlier. Come on, let's take a look."
"Always while I'm eating," sighs Dmitri; but pausing only to take one last spoonful of whatever it is, he puts down his mess tin and follows Arion along the road to the Pyramid.
"So, you think it tastes vile, but you want to finish it?"
"It's not like there's anything else to eat. Gotta keep my strength up."
It's only a few hundred metres to the Pyramid, and soon both stand before it, idly flicking torches over the stonework.
"Now there's something you don't see every day," Dmitri comments. "It's hollow – it goes on forever – and – Oh my God – it's full of stars!"
(Those of you playing trope bingo may now drink another beer. You can't have too many stargates in a game.)
"Should we go back and collect our gear?" asks Dmitri.
"If we do that, it might close up again before we can get back here – it wasn't open before. No way of telling when it might close, or when it might open again. Besides, if you're good, all you need is a knife." Arion pats the Service Issue survival knife on his belt.
"I'm not that good, and I'm pretty sure you're not, either."
"Wuss. You coming, or not?" Arion strides off into the tunnel, and Dmitri follows, muttering under his breath.
"We're going to come back to find all our stuff stolen, I just know it."
"Stop whining."

I've 4 ps3eye cameras. And I've calibrated camera1 and camera2 using cvStereoCalibrate() function of OpenCV library using a chessboard pattern by finding the corners and passing their 3d coordinates into this function.
Also I've calibrated camera2 and camera3 using another set of chessboard images viewed by camera2 and camera3.
Using the same method I've calibrated camera3 and camera4.
So now I've extrinsic and intrinsic parameters of camera1 and camera2, extrinsic and intrinsic parameters of camera2 and camera3, and extrinsic and intrinsic parameters of camera3 and camera4.
where extrinsic parameters are matrices of rotation and translation and intrinsic are matrices of focus length and principle point.
Now suppose there's a 3d point(world coordinate)(And I know how to find 3d coordinates from stereo cameras) that is viewed by camera3 and camera4 which is not viewed by camera1 and camera2.
The question I've is: How do you take this 3d world coordinate point that is viewed by camera3 and camera4 and transform it with respect to camera1 and camera2's world coordinate system using rotation, translation, focus and principle point parameters?

I read a thread a while back and can't seem to find it. The OP had a stuck mash and had to dump it out and start over. Well, I had my first stuck mash today. No flow right from the first time I opened the valve. Blowing in through the tube bubbled in the mash, but it would not flow in the out direction. I dumped the mash in a bucket. Couldn't find anything wrong. Put it back in the tun and after that it flowed fine.
Still don't have clue what happened, but my fear is HSA from dumping the mash back and forth. I just listened to the pod cast on HSA, but was curious how the OP's beer turned out or if anyone else has had a similar experience and has some insight.
I had the exact same problem. I had to dump in bucket and then fix manifold that had spilt and it flowed just fine. I actually finished at a higher efficency than expected. I just bottled a few days ago and will let you know when I crack them open.
It happened to me TWICE last week! My little hose disconnected from the false bottom. Not just one. I must have hit it with my mash paddle, but it really was a PITA. I think it'll be ok! I mean, I think HSA is more of a myth anyway. Plus, we're boiling after the mash- so wouldn't that drive off any o2? not like after the boil? Well, that's what I'm telling myself anyway.
You run it off into a boil kettle anyway and then when you're done, you oxygenate it for the yeast. I really don't see a problem with this either.
2 cents,
I went through something very similar when I brewed my version of the 888. I did however remember the Basic Brewing podcast w/ Charlie P where he mentioned that perhaps his addition of cinnamon (an anti-oxidant) prevents HSA in his brews where he strains the collected wort. I tossed a bit of cinnamon into the kettle and to date, no signs of oxidation.
I had to do this on a few brews when I started using a false bottom and never noticed any negative effects. In fact, my original setup was a cooler with no braid/manifold for a mash tun. After the mash I would transfer the grains to a bucket-in-bucket lauter tun for sparging. Never had a bad beer, so I say don't sweat it.
Next time instead of just blowing into the hose, give it a back-blast with a garden hose and spray nozzle.
It worked for me every time until I started using rice hulls...now...no more slow/stuck sparges.

In response to nhsteven's comment:
In response to notin's comment:
Yes, he is the greatest closer of all time. Yippy. This is an honor akin to being the greatest punter of all time.
Except that punters actually matter and don't get enough love...
"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me. Anything can happen, child. Anything can be."
-Shel Silverstein
That must explain the ASG moment. Also, no punters, not even Ray Guy, are in the NFL HOF. It sounds like MO shouldn't hold his breath.
I think David Justice put it all into perspective when asked how the great Brave's teams of the 90s would have fared with Mariano as a closer, Justice replied that they would have won 3 or 4 championships.
There has ever been a punter in the history of football which I follow closely that has ever given his team such an advantage.
Thats absurd revisionist history from Justice. Halle Berry warped his mind. They lost in 6 games in 96, Rivera might have made a difference in game 3, with the Leyritz homer, maybe. They lost in 7 to Minesota in 91 because they couldnt win on the road, losing game 7 1-0 in ten innings. I dont recall the Braves pen blowing any of those games. How would Rivera have helped there? Was he going to pinch run for Lonnie Smith so he didnt get duped by Kirby Puckett into not scoring from second on Gant's double in the 8th or 9th inning? In 1999 they were swept by New York, but I think Justice was with the Yankees then. In 92 they lost to a wholly superior Toronto team in 6, and in 93 won 104 games in the regular season (beating a 103 win SF team out on the last day of the season thanks to the Dodgers), then lost in 6 to a dominant Phillies team that they had no chane to beat. Justice is the embodiment of the old saying "the older I get, the better I was". Even so, I dont recall that Braves team blowing a whole lot of saves, especially in the postseason other than Jimmy Leyritz and Ed Sprague. I knew that team very, very well because I followed the Reds at the time, and we were all in the old NL West. I have never hated any sports team more than I hated that Braves team. Three or four championships with Rivera? Uh uh, I don't think so Davey. Hes probably pointing to 96 and 92, adding them to the tally. Big stretch.

Too much sun?
I bought a beautiful red heuchera at my favorite garden center. The colors of the leaves have changed, they are mostly green and more of a rust. The area of the bed gets afternoon sun and is right near the window so we can (hopefully) see the lovely hummers who drink the nectar.
Is it getting too much sun? Do I need to move it, or is the plant just settling in? It's been raining constantly in the Northeast, so no problem about watering.
It's hard to say, but unless you have crispy, burnt leaves I wouldn't guess that the problem is too much sun. More than likely, the heuchera is just getting a mid-summer green look to it. A lot of mine look greener in the middle of the growing season and are at their best and brightest in spring and fall. Do you remember the name of the heuchera you bought?
Red/purple or dark leaved heucheras are generally extremely sun tolerant. In my area, these are recommended for full sun (in most cases heucheras, like hellebores, are only shade tolerant, not necessarily shade lovers). Often, insufficient amounts of sunlight on any red-leaved plant will cause it to "green out" - you see this with smoke bush, loropetalum, Japanese maples and heucheras :-)
But it does make a difference what cultivar we are referring to - some just hold their foliage color better than others.
FWIW, the only heucheras that require much shade in my area are those that have the chartreuse or lime green coloring or very pale yellow (sometimes with darker markings). These DO tend to scorch in much sun.
No burnt leaves. However, now the leaves are somewhat holey. My mother-in-law will take a leaf to a garden center to see what's eating my plant. I love this plant but am not optimistic about its longevity. I hope it holds out. I will see if I can find out what's eating it and deal with it.
I'm not sure what the name is, I will see if I can find the plant care card or have her ask at the garden center. I hope the plant lasts until I return from my trip!
Thank you both for responding!
I purchased several 'Palace Purple Select' Coral Bells from my local nursery about two months ago. The plant tag reads "exposure - plant in sun or partial shade". The front of our home faces south and gets sun for a very good portion of the day. All of my plants have leaves that appear to be scorched - some almost completely burned. We did have some very hot days in NJ a few weeks ago with very little to no rain and I was negligent in watering. Could one or both factors be the cause? Do I need to relocate the plants to a shadier spot? Thank you for any suggestions.
In answer to your question, here's another question! Lol. Are you watering the plants adequately? I find 'Palace Purple' (along with most dark-leaved heuchera) to be extremely sun tolerant and have many of mine in full, hot afternoon sun. The only time I get leaf scorch is when I don't water them enough.
You also mentioned that you purchased the plants only 2 months ago. This would mean that they weren't established going into the heat of summer. Plants that aren't established dry out much faster than established ones. If I plant something near summertime, I have to water it at least every other day to make sure it doesn't dry up and croak. Again, more water is your answer here.
If you give them extra water and they perk up, they may just reward you with a new flush of leaves. If not, don't despair. As long as they haven't died, they'll look better next year and won't be prone to drying out as quickly.

you have my vote for the voice chat and also a easy to toggle (little button next to the minimap) mute button
Great Chat guys keep it up and we will be noticed
Junior Member
TeamSpeak... Ventrilo.... Mumble... etc etc etc etc etc
Don't you think RIOT resorces could be at better use elsewhere??
Def bump. For VOIP and a mute button.
In-game voice would be great. I regularly play source games on steam and have some HoN experience. There's no negative impacts it could have on the game. Set it up in the options so you could completely disable voice if necessary for those who aren't okay with the idea in the first place. In game, on tab, it should have some sort of notification indicating who does or doesn't have it enabled so people aren't talking to themselves. It can only improve the game, not hurt it.

I think implementing in game chat would be a great idea. For people saying better resources else where, it wouldn't take to much to do. We already in theory have a mute button its just called /ignore. This would allow much better team communication for solo queues ie better at saying who's going where, mia, team tactics in team fights just overall much more competition. And I find myself queuing with 2 or 3 friends and we are all using skype leaving the last team mate or 2 screwed and neglected. In game chat would help eliminate this issue.
I agree. It is really weird and annoying not having in-game chat.
Also good gankers wait till when I people go to send messages because it is fairly easy to tell when a player is typing based on how they move, and it takes a second to get out of the chat box. It can be an active disadvantage to communicate, meaning you just have to trust everyone's instincts.
It is also a big turnoff for new players, since they are already having trouble and they feel awkward asking for help.
Besides, most of us are already yelling at the screen; it would be nice if it meant something.
Riot, make it so.
Pros: (1) Improved team play experience, (2) less frustration by gamers overall, (3) possible premium subscription perk, (4) premium subscription perk that funds itself and the game's future success
Cons: (1) Ragers ragin' through VoIP as well as chat, (2) lag increase if there's heavy VoIP activity, (3) possible abuse of VoIP by immature/toxic players
I'd go so far as to say a fee for voice chat would not be out of the question, especially if it's done right and increases gameplay satisfaction.
It would be great to communicate with the other players.
And maybe be able to set up a custom voice chatroom if u want to chat with your friends.
Mr AIex
I'm happy with Skype/Ventrilo for my premades. I don't want to talk to strangers. I'd like some easier method of communicating but I believe this can be accomplished through something like Battlefield's on-screen mouse gestures.

Decorating Our Green, Pink, And Metallic Christmas Tree
Yes, we're those people.
I personally get irritated whenever stores skip holidays. For example, if I'm walking around Target and they have Christmas stuff out but it's not even Thanksgiving. Not ready yet. Let me get through Turkey Day before you push your red & white santas and snowmen on me. But this year we did the unthinkable…
… we set up our Christmas tree before Thanksgiving. I'm so sorry. Feel free to virtually slap us or break out an "oh no you di'int."
We've already warned our Thanksgiving guests, and thankfully they acted like it was some fun novelty. So we'll be able to tell you firsthand if turkey and mashed potatoes taste less Thanksgiving-ish when eaten in the same room as a big glowing Christmas tree.
Why the rush? Well, we usually like to decorate our tree the first week of December. Sometimes the second if we're not especially on the ball. But since we're moving in mid December we decided that in order to enjoy it for the three-weeks-or-so period that we normally do, especially since it's Clara's first Christmas, we had to break that baby out a bit early this year (before we have to pack everything up for the move in a few weeks).
Our color scheme this time around is champagne, metallic green, silver, and pink – all in honor of Clara's aforementioned first Christmas (check out last year's citrus theme here, and the year before that's monchromatic scheme here). Thankfully we already owned a lot of silver and champagne colored ornaments so we got the pink bulbs along with some metallic green ones for $20-ish at Michael's (where they were having a half-price holiday ornament sale). I was going for something frosted and girly but not too feminine for the guys in the house (I resisted the urge to bring in some over the top pink feathered boas as garland with John and Burger in mind). Speaking of our four-legged son, this festive chihuahua ornament (from John's Godmother) is too hysterical not to put up- even though it's not technically pink, silver, green, or champagne.
Ditto for our just married moose ornament (it's a bride moose and a groom moose, procured during our Alaskan honeymoon). So even though it's hardly glam and baby-girl-esque, it's too sentimental to leave out:
And you already may have noticed a few other personalized ornaments that worked their way in- like this silver (yes, it even fits into our color scheme) Empire State Building ornament that reminds us of our early days in NYC.
In the end we love how soft and sweet it looks (John approves, and Burger seems oblivious as always). Definitely baby-girl-ish, but not too overdone and pastel-y to work in a room with a geometric rug and a clean-lined modern sofa. And of course I tossed down our faux sheepskin rugs as a tree skirt (an odd tradition that we've kept up for the past 4+ years).
Oh yeah, and for the second year in a row we've had a bit of an issue with the pre-lit tree (the bottom strand of lights was out, but the solution was as simple as stringing a strand of lights around the bottom to correct it). I'm sure we could try to find the bulb that's burned out to fix it for real, but the added-strand-o-lights approach works just as easily for us (since we already had one around).
And just in case you're one of those Christmas enthusiasts who not only likes checking out a tree in November, but actually wants to see us put it all together at high speed (like John's old coworker who starts playing holiday music the day after Labor Day- hi Lauren!) here's a holly jolly video for you (complete with that burned out string of lights at the bottom of the tree and a baby who wants nothing more than to eat every ornament we hold within her reach). Or you can watch it here on YouTube.
So that's our tree this year. What about you guys? Any fun color schemes or themes swimming around in your head for your own tree decorating adventures in a few weeks (edible? jewel toned? Jersey Shore inspired?). Let's chat. If you're ready, that is. If not feel free to wait the obligatory week or so to join the conversation.
Psssst- If you're excited to get into your red footie pajamas and go holiday crazy, check out this section of our Projects page for lots of Christmas-related stuff.

Love it!! I have been holding back putting up our tree even though I'm dying to. Thanksgiving night, it's going up!
Your color scheme on the tree is very pretty and festive–really compliments what you've got going on in the room.
Hope Santa's good to Clara!!:)
haha, don't feel bad! I am normally the same way.. I hate Christmas before Thanksgiving! But this year, for some reason, I wanted to decorate last weekend! Ah well :)
Your tree looks great! We stick to the same red, gold & silver theme every year :)
Looks great!
hehe too funny, every time an ornament comes close Clara's mouth opens lol.
Love the tree! It looks beautiful!
Any ideas on how to 'puppy proof" a Christmas tree? This is my first Christmas with a dog in the house and I'm terrified to put up our Christmas tree. Fondly nicknamed "Destructo-Dog," she has a habit of getting into things she shouldn't.
Love your use of the IKEA sheepskin. I wanted to do the same but we don't have an IKEA here in Colorado until next year. Unfortunately my searching at the local fabric stores didn't unveil anything more than horrible fur that wasn't suitable.
My solution? Cheap and easy burlap! Add that to the list for other tree skirt options. I used 3 yards and wish I would have went for about 4 – 5 actually. Oh well, live and learn.
Nice tree!
Our tree is usually very traditional:
It has traditional red ornaments (metallic and matte), straw stars, golden painted nuts, red or white candles (but we prefer to use electric lights) and miniature presents (match boxes wrapped in gift paper).
We go with the German tradition and set our (real) tree on the 23. December and it stays with us until the 6. January. Then it will be thrown out the window (oh yes!)
Because it's somehow difficult to get a really nice one the day before Christmas, we buy it mid-December and just let it outside where it's chilly until we bring it inside ;)
Cudos to you for putting your tree up!! I am waaay impressed you put it up even with your soon-to-be move! When we were preparing to move, we didn't bother with one decoration and just concentrated on packing. Will you be re-putting it up in the new house to adorn your first Christmas in the new casa??
I'm excited we're getting our tree this coming weekend. Typically we do the real tree deal, but this year we're hoping to snag a bargain on Black Friday for a non-real one (I don't want to say fake!)
I always start in November because I put up several trees, and miles of garland. By the time Thanksgiving gets here, I am VERY THANKFUL to have it all up so that I can enjoy it for a while. It's a lot of work, and I LOVE seeing the house all lit up. Christmas decor is one of my absolute favorite things about the holiday season. In the living room the colors are silver, gold, purple, & cream/ivory. It's done in kind of a religious theme. Lots of crosses, angels, wise men, musical instruments (harps), churches, etc. The dining room & kitchen are done in red, silver, white, & icy looking things. The theme is woodland/outdoorsy. There are pine cones, cardinals, white birds, berries, picks with snow and ice on them, etc. I would like to add some birdhouses eventually. The bedroom is more exotic. The colors are topaz, turquoise/teal, and a goldish yellow color. There are peacocks and butterflies mixed in with the regular ornaments on that tree. All of my trees have stuff sticking out from them. Like ting-tings, berry branches, peacock feathers, etc. I usually add more decor items each year. My favorite thing we purchased this year is one of those rotating tree stands for the tree in the dining room. LOVE IT!
My family is used to the decorations going up early. My kids actually like it. My son (who is now 22) has already started putting his tree up in his bedroom! All of his friends love seeing it as well. In fact, one of them stopped by the other day and asked why the main tree wasn't finished yet! LOL!
Every year, we put our tree up the week of Thanksgiving. The reason is because my mom loves when we help put her tree up. By the time we put hers up, we are treed out. One year that bummed us out because we didn't enjoy putting our own up. So we decided every year to do it the week before Thanksgiving. We still have the glass pumpkins by the fireplace, because we love Thanksgiving also. The rest of our decorations will go up in December.
I love your blog and especially loved the super-fast tree trimming (so wish I could get mine decorated that fast)! I started a tradition about 14/15 years ago of purchasing a photo frame ornament that I could write the year and put in a pic of my babies. I also purchase a separate ornament depending on what they are into that particular year (superman, karate, girl scouts, etc). Fast forward 14 years and three kiddos later and I've amassed quite a collection!! My plan being that once my babies are grown and have homes of their own, I get to keep the photo frame ornaments and they get to take the other ones with them.
Enjoy your first Christmas with your beautiful baby, it's goes by soooo fast! Also, enjoy what may soon be your last Christmas with ornaments hangin from the bottom of your tree! :)
To each thier own I say! I normally feel the same way (hey what's w/the christmas before thanksgiving) but this year we may go the same route. In our house we wait until the weekend after our daughter's birthday (Dec 2nd) since she already shares the christmas month and in the danger zone of the dreaded 'joint gift' (you know it's a birthday/christmas present). However this year we are headed out of town for the week of christmas, the whole week before so we are going to get a tree this weekend!
There must be something in the air, because we're doing ours tonight as well. Also, I have the mantel and house decked out in Christmas get this- 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. For shame- right? But my excuse is this will be our first tree in our new house, and I was excited to decorate our house for the first time. Also, it's good to see you guys doing a tree with colors, and some personal touches (souvenir obtained ornaments). I feel like that has more personality then those monochrome, white and silver trees that are so popular. (But I confess I did neutrals and metallics for the home decor) I'm doing a colorful tree though!
So funny! We usually decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving but this time I have to work so I put up everything but the tree (we get a live one) this past weekend. My 5 and 7 year old have been telling everyone we celebrate "Christgiving" at our house!
Confession: We have our stuff up too. Just not the tree yet since we want a real one and it may die before Christmas.
We have always been "no earlier than December 1″ decorators, which has been pushed later thanks to our girl's birthday in early December. We plan to put out a few things like an advent calendar right away, but we wait for the big decorating push until after we've celebrated her birthday. So, does your house feel super festive for Thanksgiving now, or more like a hodge-podge of holidays?
This year I'm going to have a white tree (for the first time ever). I'm going to decorate with silver, gold, and white ornaments. I decided to use a white feather boa to wrap around the base of the tree and some white feathers for the top. I can't figure out what to use (or what color)for the tree skirt. Any ideas?
I LOVE your tree! I always want to do a "themed" tree with a color scheme. However, I have all my ornaments from growing up and there are A LOT of them. I really want to showcase those ornaments, but without having them overtake the tree. Do you add any other ornaments from your childhood to your tree? Maybe have 2 trees??
I love it!! Are those the faux rugs from Ikea…how many did you have to use to get the right coverage? I'm planning a trip just for these must haves!!
I bet yoru new house you have two trees…one with a theme, and a little one with all your cherished, special ornaments that will grow with the years.
so cute!! makes me excited to decorate. that's all i'll be doing on friday (since I just can't do it before Thanksgiving) but I dont blame you for wanting to extend Clara's first christmas!!
Who is singing the song? So fun!
always love your tree time lapse! keep up the great work guys!
I love how all the Clara parts are "dangle ornament in front of baby, let baby grab at ornament, grab ornament away when baby tries to eat it." She's so adorable!
I have always one of those annoying (to other people)people who put their tree up way early…but does it really matter? your house, your rules! :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the video! I love how you included Clara for such a time span and she didn't seem fussy at all! You two must give her so much wonderful attention by including her like that. :)
For Amanda- Why not do a quick sew of old favorite tee-shirts for a tree skirt?
Yep. I am guilty as charged. I raided Michael's and made a Christmas wreath. It's already on the door.
But, point being, it feels like Christmas here in Chicago today. 32 degrees. Freezing point. So up with the blingy wreath.
I did it for $10! Check it out the "recession wreath": http://momnivoresdilemma.blogspot.com/2010/11/shes-crafty-recession-wreath.html

The Shaq experiment
Hey, NBA? Shaq and LeBron are playing well together.
This column appears in the December 28 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
Two dozen reporters are standing around LeBron James, grilling him about next summer, when Shaquille O'Neal decides to have a little fun. Disrupting the interview from the back of the throng, the Big Practical Joker offers LeBron $5 million to "say it right now." When his teammate balks, Shaq ups the ante to $10 million, alas, to no avail.
Media accounts the next day said Shaq had tried to coax LeBron into revealing the team he was going to sign with when his contract expires after the season. Really, though, Shaq was just trying to get LeBron to recite the Lil Wayne rhyme he'd been reeling off ad nauseam for the past few days.
That early-season reporting gaffe shows assumptions in Cleveland are like the wind off Lake Erie. They blow strong, and they blow often. Each Shaq miss or lost game, each locker room sneer or sideways glance on the bench sparks a new one -- and with it the feeling that this squad is headed for another May ousting.
Everyone needs to relax.

Nominations Sought For Open Source Award 10
from the a-field-of-champions 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).
My nomination for is Wietse Venema, the author of the postfix [postfix.org] mail server.
Have a look at the source code, it is a textbook example of
how a program should be written. It is just amazing how well
the code is commented (all 100.000 lines of it), and Wietse
is doing a fine job of maintaining the code. The program is
well behaved (also in severe error conditions like out of
memory/disk space, high cpu load, network failures, etc), and
have an excellent reputation for being "virtually bug free"
Postfix is simply the finest piece of software I have ever compiled and used, and I hope that the award goes a person because of his exceptionally high software standards: Wietse Venema.
I'd nominate the same person, but for his tcp_wrappers instead. (I have no expereince with postfix, so I can't speak to that point.)

The withdrawal symptoms for Cortef depend on how high the dose was, the duration of treatment and how quickly the dose was stopped or reduced. It is always recommended that corticosteroid treatment is stopped gradually - called tapering.
Symptoms of corticosteroid withdrawal include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, headache, fever, arthralgias, myalgias, and postural hypotension. Symptoms resolved when corticosteroid therapy was reinstated.
