We served Republican presidents, but we have a message that transcends political affiliation: the United States must move now on substantive steps to curb climate change, at home and internationally.
There is no longer any credible scientific debate about the basic facts: our world continues to warm, with the last decade the hottest in modern records, and the deep ocean warming faster than the earth�s atmosphere. Sea level is rising. Arctic Sea ...

At Hotel zur Bleiche in Burg in the Spree Forest , Oliver Heilmeyer relies mainly on regional ingredients to create an innovative produce-centred cuisine with unusual flavour combinations.
At Restaurant 17fuffzig, Oliver Heilmeyer has succeeded in marrying classic cooking with contemporary flavour constructions, and is increasingly using regional produce to achieve this. Heilmeyer works closely with Spree Forest producers and supports them in maintaining consistent high quality. In addition to his down-to-earth, purely regional menu and his vegetarian Spree Forest garden menu, he has the flexibility to offer a different menu almost every day, to take advantage of the best available ingredients. Heilmeyer also makes excellent use of chicken, pork and vegetables from the country estate and the hotel garden, elements which he presents as authentically and as naturally as possible.
One characteristic dish is his lightly seasoned, parchment-baked beetroot, which he cooks gently in the oven and crowns with a parsnip-horseradish cream. The delicate sweetness of the beetroot unfolds in its pure form on the palate, wonderfully framed by the earthiness and delicate sharpness of the cream. Amazingly subtle flavours unfold in his spinach cream soup with blue cheese croquette and quince ragout, which juxtaposes herbiness, sweetness, creaminess and restrained heartiness in a surprisingly harmonious way. Another excellent dish is Heilmeyer's Lake Schwielowsee pike-perch, which he encrusts with scallops and serves with Jerusalem artichoke baked in venison ham, Brussels sprouts leaves and a white onion sauce. Supremely delicious, fascinatingly nuanced flavours that are simply fun!

Colton Cumbie is a contestant from Survivor: One World and Survivor: Blood vs. Water.
Labeled as a super-villain, Colton was known for his infamous strategy and attempted dictatorship of the Manono tribe, a group that he originally felt isolated from. He is the first person to be "evacuated" from the competition while still in possession of the Hidden Immunity Idol. He was also known for his arrogance and bully-like personality in his first outing. However, in Blood vs. Water, he tried to re-brand himself to show the growth he went through after drawing a lot of flak after his first season, given he entered the game with his fiancé, but only to fail when he attempted to return to his old ways of chaos by trying to disturb the peace and camaraderie of his tribe. Dissatisfied by his standing in the game, he quit the game on Redemption Island, much to Jeff Probst's displeasure.
One WorldEdit
Personal Claim to Fame: I came out as gay when I was 12 years old, sixth grade in South Alabama. My parents definitely did not run out to join Parents of Lesbian and Gay (PFLAG) and it took a long time but they came around. It was weird at school but I didn't play the victim and run home to cry. I stood up for myself and explained that being gay wasn't who I was but part of who I am.
Inspiration in Life: My nanny/grandmother who is technically my great-aunt but she and her husband took my mom in when she was 2 months old after her dad abandoned her. My grandmother is the most amazing person I know. She is literally my 73-year-old best friend! She has been there for me through everything, definitely the biggest impact on who I am today.
Hobbies: Socializing, watching reality TV and writing.
Pet Peeves: Ugly people who think they're hot.
3 Words to Describe You: Adorable, entertaining and opinionated.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: As far as my personality goes I would be a mix of Queen Parvati Shallow, Corinne Kaplan and J.T. Thomas I embody three of their distinctive traits; heartlessness (in a loveable way), low tolerance for trash and that people hate me but still want to be my best friend.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I want to play the game! The strategy, the challenges, I want it all! I don't care about the fame or whether people love or hate me. I would love nothing more than to see my verbally abusive stepdad's reaction when I win a million dollars on national TV.
Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: I live my life as I if I'm playing Survivor! I have a strategy for everything. Hell, the way I got my boyfriend was a strategy.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I don't believe, I know! There has never been anyone with the social skills and charisma I possess on this show. I'm confident, hilarious, athletic, good looking, adorable and I have good teeth with a hint of Southern charm. What more could you want?
Blood vs. WaterEdit
Name (Age): Colton Cumbie (22)
Tribe Designation: Galang
Relationship to Significant Castaway: Caleb's Fiancé
Previous Season: Survivor: One World – medically evacuated on day 16 due to illness – 6th out
Current Residence: Collinsville, Ala.
Occupation: Student Teacher
Why Did You Want to Return to Survivor and Play with Your Loved One? I probably wouldn't have said yes to returning if not for this specific twist. Last time I played I was extremely homesick and missed Caleb like crazy. He is my best friend and probably is the one between the two of us who should've been on Survivor in the first place. While I'm a highly emotional person, Caleb is very logical. He also keeps me calm in stressful situations. Having him with me will give me the emotional stability I need to combine with my already strong concept of strategy.
Survivor: One WorldEdit
" | He makes Russell look like... a freaking schoolgirl! | " |
–Jonas Otsuji (on Colton) |
When Colton and the other contestants arrived, Colton was hoping to be placed on a tribe with females. Instead, the teams were arranged according to gender, much to his dismay and dislike. He found consolation upon learning that his all-male Manono tribe will coexist with the all-female Salani tribe. Colton wasted no time mingling with the girls more than his own tribe, even as going far as not helping in the males' camp chores. He was well-liked by the women, on Day 3, Colton received a Hidden Immunity Idol from Salani member Sabrina Thompson, because it was exclusive for Manono's disposal. Thompson told him to use the idol to eliminate threats.
By Day 4, Colton's frequent visits to Salani started to grate the women, with the women telling him to get to know his own tribemates, something he did not do as much with Salani. Using the idol as leverage, he formed an unlikely "misfit" alliance with Troyzan Robertson, Leif Manson, Jonas Otsuji and Tarzan Smith, to combat the "Muscle Alliance," consisted by Manono's strongest members.
When Manono lost their first Immunity Challenge on Day 8, Colton began his strategy. His orginal target was Bill because of Bill's loss in the challenge and obnoxious behavior. However, the misfit alliance persuaded Colton to vote out Matt who was seen as a bigger threat. At tribal council, Colton revealed that he had an immunity idol to the rest of his team. Colton's alliance was successful on taking down one of the muscles, Matt Quinlan.
Colton gained an enemy in "muscle" alliance member Bill Posley, who, despite Bill having no problems at all with Colton, Colton viewed Bill as loud and obnoxious. On Day 11, a heated confrontation escalated between the two men when Colton became increasingly frustrated with Bill, refusing to talk to him, while Bill attempted to make amends with him. Colton then conversed with allies Troyzan and Jonas about giving up immunity to the women so that they could vote out Bill, however Tarzan and Troyzan felt that ally Leif should be the next to go, since he betrayed their trust by accidently telling Bill that Colton wanted him out last round. Unanimously, Colton got his way and the men headed to Tribal Council. Another heated debate ensued between Bill and Colton when Colton revealed to Jeff that he did not like Bill because he was obnoxious, loud, and that he needed to "get a real job" instead of being a struggling stand-up comedian, which Bill did not accept lightly, saying it was his dream to be a comedian. Colton was then asked by Jeff if there are any black people in his personal life, and Colton responded that his house helper is black. In the end, Colton ultimately got his wish, and Bill was unanimously voted out.
The next day, a Tribe Switch occurred, and Colton remained at Manono, and in an unfortunate turn of events, the new Manono tribe, was almost entirely comprised of physically weaker competitors, save for Monica Culpepper. Colton likened their situation as "peasants" being pitted against "Greek Gods," referring to the much physically stronger new Salani tribe. Lucky for Colton, the majority of the Misfit alliance, Jonas, Tarzan and Leif, remained on his tribe as well. Colton approached their new members, Monica, Alicia Rosa and Christina Cha, that he is still on board with the women, but in truth, he was making a play to blindside them. Colton conspired with Alicia, the only member of the Salani Alliance to be in the new Manono to eliminate the other two women, with Culpepper going first, as she is a physical threat. In a rather lopsided physical Immunity Challenge, Monica tried to solely carry the challenge for the tribe, but Manono's disadvantage sent them to Tribal Council. At Tribal Council, while Christina and Monica believed Colton (and Alicia) were on their side, Colton pulled a double-cross, blindsiding Monica in a 5-2 vote.
Returning from Tribal Council, Colton and Alicia taunt Christina and tell her that she was going home next. Colton's dislike of Christina intensified at the next Reward Challenge, where Colton harped on Christina's poor performance. On Day 16, Colton began to complain about suffering a headache. Tarzan diagnosed it as dehydration and told Colton to drink more water. Colton stumbled into the forest where he collapsed on the ground. The medical team diagnosed Colton with acute appendicitis, and recommended him to be evacuated from the game. Before leaving, Jeff asked Colton on what to do with his Hidden Immunity Idol, and while Alicia assumed he will give it to her, Colton decided to keep the idol with him as a souvenir, after which he was carried away by a stretcher. Because of Colton's evacuation, there was no Immunity Challenge, and the tribes were convened at Tribal Council the next day, where they were informed about Colton's condition and removal from the game, and the announcement of the merge.

Colton entered the game on the Galang tribe, who generally dominated in challenges. When Jeff anouncedd that the returnees would be playing against their loved ones, Colton was visibly upset. For the first day, Colton tried to sell his new "change of personality" from his previous season. However, Colton became frustrated with the tribe's peacefulness, stating that "they should be playing Survivor!". Colton tried to create chaos in the tribe, by backstabbing everyone and creating fake alliances. Colton was caught in his actions, and this formed the 5-person alliance of Tyson Apostol, Aras Baskauskas, Gervase Peterson, Tina Wesson and Monica Culpepper. Over the course of the next few days, the game started drifting from Colton's grasp, and he felt like an outcast. On Day 7, when Galang headed to Redemption Island to witness the duel between Candice Cody, Marissa Peterson, and Rachel Foulger, Colton decided to quit the game because he was depressed he wasn't with his partner, Caleb Bankston, and he just felt that he had no shot at winning due to being on the outs of his tribe and nobody wanting to talk strategy with him. With that, Colton left the game for good.

Quit, Day 7 |
- Colton and his partner, Caleb Bankston, were engaged. Caleb would later appear with Colton on Survivor: Blood vs. Water. Tragically, Caleb was killed in a railroad accident on June 24, 2014. They were planning to get married on October 2014.
- In his pre-show interview for One World, he claimed that he invited fifteen other peers during his 10th birthday party just to play Survivor.
- Colton is the youngest person to be evacuated from the game due to medical reasons.
- He was evacuated after being diagnosed with acute appendicitis. This makes him the only person evacuated because of a problem that didn't have to do with injuries or illness due to conditions at camp.
- According to E! Online, Colton did not really have appendicitis, but instead had a bacterial infection in the lining of his stomach and intestines.
- Colton was the youngest contestant of One World.
- He was also the youngest male contestant and the youngest returnee on Survivor: Blood vs. Water.
- Colton became the first person to be evacuated for medical reasons while holding a Hidden Immunity Idol.
- According to Colton's exit interview with Reality TV Magazine, Colton had originally intended to give his Hidden Immunity Idol away to his former Manono tribemate and then Salani member Jay Byars, but was not allowed to do so as the idol belonged to the Manono tribe.
- Despite his short time spent in the game, many fans have taken to message boards and social networks to show their disdain for Colton.[1]
- Colton's intense fury over Bill actually stemmed from Bill throwing Colton's Hidden Immunity Idol into the ocean. This is a direct violation of the Survivor rules, because the idols are considered to be personal items, and thus cannot be stolen. Leif told Colton about the incident, while production returned Colton's idol to him.[2]
- In an interview on Rob Has a Podcast, Colton heavily implied that he was slated to return in Survivor: Philippines, but was cut at the last minute due to a negative audience reception during the airing of One World.[3]
- Colton is one of eight castaways (the others being Rob Mariano, Shii Ann Huang, Bobby Jon Drinkard, Russell Swan, Michael Skupin, Francesca Hogi, and Monica Culpepper) that returned for a second season despite not making the merge/Jury on their original season.
- Colton is the fifth castaway to return for another season after being medically evacuated on his previous season, following James Clement, Michael Skupin, Jonathan Penner, and Russell Swan.
- Colton is the only player to quit at Redemption Island.
- Colton is one of four contestants to play the game twice and never be voted out. The others are Jenna Morasca, Sandra Diaz-Twine, and Michael Skupin.
- Colton is the only one not to make the merge/Jury phase or the Final Tribal Council in either season.
- In "Opening Pandora's Box", an irate Jeff Probst claimed that Colton "faked" his appendicitis as an excuse to leave the game just for him to quit the show. In an interview, Colton stood by his statement about his evacuation, saying he was willing to publicize his medical receipts to prove his claim.[4]
- Colton, Francesca, Tom Westman and Russell Swan have only been affiliated with two tribes, despite playing in two seasons.

These linear parks consist of approximately 1,200 acres of creek-side open space.
The Linear Creekway Parks Development Program, which provides sales tax funding for the land purchases and trails development, was approved by voters in 2000, 2005 and 2010. Thanks to the ongoing support of San Antonians, the current budget for trail development includes enough to build approximately 40 additional miles of trail (for a total of 86 miles).
Trails are now either built or planned for many of San Antonio's creeks, including the Salado, Leon, Huebner, Olmos, Huesta, Culebra, Alazan, Apache, Martinez, San Pedro and the Medina River.
Former Mayor Peak began formulating the idea of a "ring' of hike and bike trails in flood zones along city-owned creeks while working in the Planning Department and while serving on the Zoning Commission. As a City Councilman representing District 9 from 1993 to 1997, he partnered with Councilman Lyle Larson to purchase the land which began the Salado Creek trail system in Walker Ranch Historic Landmark Park.
As mayor from 1997 to 2001, he solidified his vision of hike and bike trails along Leon and Salado Creeks and won citizen support to dedicate one-eighth of a cent of the sales tax to begin development of the trail system in partnership with the Edwards Aquifer Program.
On the Horizon:
The ultimate vision to encircle the entire City of San Antonio with a complete ring of trails requires additional funding for approximately 32 miles of new trail, primarily along Leon and Salado Creeks. When the full system is completed, the connected network of trails along tributaries, neighborhood connections and the San Antonio River totals over 130 miles!
Cyclists, walkers, and runners are all embracing the Howard W. Peak Greenway Trail System and the Leon Creek Greenway, in particular, is very popular. The Parks and Recreation Department invites trail users to add some variety to their workout by visiting the Salado Creek Greenway. Access to the Salado Creek Greenway can be found at Hardberger Park, Walker Ranch Park, McAllister Park, Robert Tobin Park and South Side Lions Park. Here's a video clip to give you a sneak peak at what you'll find:
If you're passionate about the trails and enjoy spending time on them, we hope you will consider becoming a Trail Watch Volunteer. Volunteers should be 18 and older, friendly, outgoing and willing to donate four hours a month of their time.
Interested trail users are invited to sign up for an orientation. The orientation will cover an overview of Trail Watch volunteer roles along with valuable information from Park Police on trail safety. Some sessions will include time on the trails for a hands-on session. Bring your bike or walking shoes.
Call 207-2899 or email Gabriela Tello at: Meredith Tilley for information on the next orientation.

The Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to announce that the Leon Creek Greenway North and the Medina River Greenway have been designated as national recreation trails, joining a network of more than 1,150 previously designated trails that span more than 13,650 miles through 23 states.
The department will receive a certificate of designation, a letter of congratulations from Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, and a set of trail markers.
The recent announcement made by Salazar and National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis included the designation of 54 trails as national recreation trails, adding almost 1,400 miles of trails to the National Trails System. The Tejano Walking Trail in Austin was the only other Texas trail honored with the designation.
National recreation trail designation recognizes existing trails and trail systems that link communities to recreational opportunities on public lands and in local parks. The national recreation trail program is jointly administered by the National Park Service and the USDA Forest Service in conjunction with a number of other federal and nonprofit partners, notably American Trails, which hosts the national recreation trails website at www.americantrails.org/nationalrecreationtrails.
The Leon Creek Greenway North, from Loop 1604 to Ingram Road, features 13 miles of trail among a variety of scenic and diverse natural landscapes that include pedestrian bridges, unique rock features and a large stand of cottonwood trees. The trails also feature connections to O.P. Schnabel Park, Bamberger Nature Park, Cathedral Rock Park, Pearsall Park, Earl Scott Pond, Rodriguez County Park, Wolff Stadium, the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and numerous adjacent neighborhoods and businesses.
Hikers and cyclists will find parking at the VIA Ingram Transit Center, 3215 Northwestern Dr.; at the Grissom Trailhead, 7379 Grissom Rd.; and at the north trailhead at Loop 1604 and IH-10.
The Medina River Greenway features seven miles of trail that stretches east from the Medina River Natural Area, located on State Highway 16, south of Lone Star Pass on the City's Southside. Here trail enthusiasts will find large Cypress, Oak and Pecan trees growing along the flowing Medina River. The terrain is mostly easy, but includes switchbacks with slopes up to 8.3 percent in two locations.
Transit Center Trailhead Wins State Award
The Texas Trails Network recently awarded VIA Metropolitan Transit and the Parks and Recreation Department the Great Texas Trailhead Award at its annual state conference here in San Antonio.
The Great Trail Head Award is given to a public or private entity in recognition of innovative trail planning and design. The award honors the collaborative effort to develop a trailhead at the Ingram Transit Center to connect with the Leon Creek Greenway. The two agencies worked together after VIA acquired the land next to the busy transit center to make the tract accessible to trail riders on Leon Creek Greenway. Now the trailhead provides both transit riders and trail riders seamless access to passenger amenities such as restrooms, vending machines and customer service representatives.
The trailhead portion of the project, overseen by Greenways' Special Projects Manager Brandon Ross and his staff, includes amenities such as lighting, interpretive signage and maps, picnic tables, bicycle parking and a shade structure.
The Transit Center trailhead is located at the southern end of 13 continuous miles of concrete and asphalt trail beginning at Loop 1604 on the north side and following the creek south to Ingram Road.

Done (as shown above :D) but I'm going out to take pics with my dad again soon (I love bonding with him!) and I'm keeping an eye out for the boxes and I'll do better pictures than the two I took in the car. I pulled a muscle in my neck taking one because I turned around quickly. It hurt but it was worth it >< x

The 'find all the clic boxes' pic is an internet meme known as 'X all the Y' meme. this began around 2006 when someone posted a pic online to show why they would make a rubbish adult. it as captioned 'clean all the things!' followed by another one saying 'clean ALL the things?' it escalated from there on.

Conveniently order the ink you need with our 8 pack compatible Canon Pixma iP100 ink cartridges. This set for the Canon Pixma iP100 includes 5 black PGI35 (1509B002) and 3 color CLI36 (1511B002) inkjet cartridges. Why pay twice as much for brand name OEM Canon Pixma iP100 printer ink cartridges when our generic brand printer supplies are cheaper in price but equal in quality?
Our compatible PGI35 & CLI36 ink cartridges contain a brand new chip which allows you to track your printer ink levels. Benefit from tracking ink levels with our compatible PGI-35 & CLI-36 cartridges with new chips that show correct ink levels.
Our compatible brand replacement inkjet cartridges for Canon Pixma iP100 printers are backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. So Stock up now!
Page Yield is an approximation of the number of standard pages that can be printed with one cartridge, usually measured at 5% page coverage. 5% coverage is a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page with a light letterhead, address and three paragraphs of text double spaced. If you print mixed text and graphics or WebPages your page coverage is closer to 15% and therefore the number of pages printed with each cartridge will be less. If you are printing photos your page coverage is close to 100% and the number of printed photos will be much less than the amount the number of pages you would be able to print if you were just printing standard text documents.

Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

Spring-cleaning your organization's retirement plan
Blog Entry:
March 21, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: CRAIG C. GABEL

With temperatures rising, days lengthening and buds blossoming, the thought of spring-cleaning comes to mind: a burdensome ritual passed down through the generations.
Like many, I too will take an otherwise good weekend and spend it diligently dusting, washing, scrubbing, organizing; you know the drill. Sometimes I'm tempted to cut corners, but I've learned taking shortcuts or working hastily will only lead to more work in the end.
As the plan trustee or plan administrator, now is a great time to "spring-clean" your plan too.
Here are a few tasks, which may "spruce up" your plan:
Confirm the appropriate compliance testing has been performed and the Form 5500 is being prepared. For calendar year plans, this testing is typically completed in January or February. A questionnaire is completed which provides data for the return. Ask your recordkeeper or TPA which tests apply to your plan and make sure any issues are resolved.
Cash out small balances
. Even though an individual may no longer work at your organization, as a fiduciary your responsibility and liability continues until the participant has closed their plan account. Check your plan document to see what options are available for former employees with balances under $5,000.
Review the list of those needing to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
. If you have former employees in the plan age 70 ½ or older, they may need a RMD. Work with your Recordkeeper to determine who is on the list and how you can assist them with their distribution.
Update beneficiary forms
. Take a few moments and have your participants confirm their beneficiary designations. Life happens and these updates often get overlooked.
Review your plan's Investment Policy Statement (IPS)
. As a fiduciary you want to ensure that you are managing your plan's investment offerings, and the frequency of their review, in accordance with your IPS. You may want to update your IPS if it is too restrictive, administratively burdensome or no longer consistent with your objectives.
Confirm receipt, distribution and review of all fee disclosure documents
. In light of recent legislation, you and your participants should have received a myriad of fee disclosure documentation from your covered service providers (i.e. advisor, recordkeeper, TPA). If you did not, request them immediately. Make sure you are reviewing them and understand the services being provided and the overall plan costs. Remember, the costs must be reasonable for the services rendered.
Set dates to review education strategy, investments and plan costs
. Once you understand the services you are paying for, map out a schedule for the year. If you don't have meetings set, put reminders on the calendar now.
In both cleaning our homes and our retirement plans, if we manage the little tasks along the way, the big "spring-clean" isn't as cumbersome. Hopefully this starter list will make your responsibilities a little easier year to year. Happy cleaning!

Shining Down
I always download music online (illegally) and never in my life have i bought a song or even album until today i went out and bought LASERS!! So that shows that i think your a really cool artist and your songs have deep and meaningful messages thats why your dope and thats why i went out & bought your album today homeboy!!!
Lupe you are the realest rapper in the game, all these other fake rappers talk about the same stuff over and over again; money, drugs, sex, violence, they need to talk about stuff that actually has purpose like you do and B.o.B. My friend always tryd to get me to listen to your music and i was stuck on those fake rappers like weezy and gucci, but after listening to your music i hate the others. Stay true LUPE!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS TRUTH. I have had favorite artists before but none who touch the soul and speak truth regardless of what "they" all do... I was a huge Pac and Wayne fan forever, and still am. I used to spin their shit and every gig but after finding you, the dude who cleared my view, they seem like shadows of a desirable past, or failed attempt like good conscience that just came and went. "THIS IS THE ARTIST I HAVE WAITED FOR MY WHOLE LIFE" Is what i said. The one who is gonna change the way people think and bring back feeling and love to making ALL KINDS OF music. Build the future with the gift you have, and keep given all of us the ONE VOICE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS TRUTH... The ONE artist that has the ducks lined up no matter what they try and cover up.. you are the best, Never stop, US FANS WILL BE YOUR VEST. thats whats up
-Lupe, never change what you came here to do.. your an inspiration to a lot of people and thats the truth, now get back to the booth and let loose
WELL IM NOT HAVIN IT NOOOOOOOOOO. This song is the start of Lupe's new revolution he comes with the hardest and most grown up sense of perspective yet its not tainted and retains its child like views some times. He is a pioneer and doesn't even have to try. Ill be happy when he can drop his album so i don't have to keep hearing "teach me how to Dougie" a thousand times on the radio. - Dravon White

Great news. This guy is doing fantastic work. I'm on Gnome 3 these days but improvements like this are always welcome and keeps me doing desktop jumps :-)
Good for Martin for properly digging into this. It seems that actually rendering at 60fps is going out of style, at least partly based on the ignorant notion that because films are acceptable at 24fps, anything higher in any context must be overkill. It's good to see someone having it as a goal, especially for a (mostly) 2D app where the difference is more likely to be noticeable.

Daily OCD 7/17/12 | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Stephen Dixon, Significant Objects, Peter Bagge, Noah Van Sciver, Mickey Mouse, Justin Hall, Joshua Glenn, Jacques Tardi, Jack Davis, Disney, Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware | 17 Jul 2012 2:00 PM |
The newest and week-old pre-SDCC stinky socks found under your bed-style Online Commentaries and Diversions minus the hullabaloo about Love and Rockets:
•Interview (video): Noah Van Sciver is interviewed by documentary film maker Dan Stafford on his upcoming book about Lincoln's depression, The Hypo, coming out this fall. "Lincoln battled things his whole life. He battled with poverty in his youth; the part that I cover, battling with depression; the struggle of his own fate followed by keeping the nation together, how we know him best."
•Plug: Flavorwire takes the Flavorpill by Tucker Stone. 4 of the 10 most anticipated books are from Fantagraphics including Love and Rockets: New Stories #5 by the Hernandez Brothers, The Hypo by Noah Van Sciver, Goddamn this War by Jacques Tardi , and Prison Pit #4 by Johnny Ryan: "[The Hypo] is the comic you didn't know you were waiting for."
•Interview: The Advocate and Jase Peeples takes some time to speak to No Straight Lines editor Justin Hall on comics and the LGBTQ community. Hall says, "There are interesting parallels between comics and queers; both have a hard time getting respect by the dominant culture, and both have problems understanding their own history."
•Interview (audio): On the heel's of Pride Month, Comic Book Queers interview a gaggle of people including No Straight Lines editor Justin Hall. Hall states, "We turned the project into a class. I taught at the California College for the Arts and the backbone of the class was bringing in queer cartoonists and had the students interview them."
•Commentary: On The Rumpus editor Justin Hall writes about the history of Queer Comics. You can read more in the anthology!
•Interview: The New York Times and Penelope Green cover uncoventional taxonomy in Significant Objects while interviewing editor Joshua Glenn. Glenn states, "Even if we don't identify ourselves as collectors, we are collectors of things. And things are collectors of meaning in various ways."
•Commentary: Electric Literature covered the fun book launch of Significant Objects at the Strand on July 10th. Editor Joshua Glenn is quoted by Karina Briski: "the stories become the things of value, all on their own."
•Review: Pop Matters enjoys Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Mickey Mouse Vol. 3: High Noon at Inferno Gulch (edited by David Gerstein and Gary Groth) with childlike wonder but still has those nagging questions. Michael Barrett: "There's still no explanation for how some animals are "humans" while others are just animals, like how Mickey can ride a horse in the West and then come home to be greeted by his pal Horace Horsecollar."
•Review: The Tearoom of Despair takes a look at the Hate Annuals by Pete Bagge. Bob Temuka laments, "Bagge has actually done so many comics over the past decade and a half, that he is almost – shamefully – taken for granted. While new books by the likes of Clowes or Ware are almost an Event, a new mini series from Bagge might get a couple of reviews, most of which will point out that it's more of the same."
•Commentary: Video gamesite, 1Up features some satirical video game adaptations including Pete Bagge's Hate, Ghost World by Dan Clowes and the most epic Jimmy Corrigan panel by Chris Ware.
•Review: Music magazine and site Under the Radar enjoys the writings of Stephen Dixon's What Is All This? Uncollected Stories. Hays Davis: "Stephen Dixon has a gift for revealing mundane environments as vibrant social microcosms. With that, it seems almost apropos that Dixon's flown under the radar commercially for decades, though he's always garnered respect in literary circles"
•Plug: SF Site drops some comments about Jack Davis: Drawing American Pop Culture. Rick Klaw: "The extraordinary Jack Davis: Drawing American Pop Culture successfully reaffirms the artist's place within the upper echelon of pop culture craftsman."

I don't have one to hand, but I think they refer to them as "booking photographs" (when they don't call them mug shots). the motor vehicle people don't much like their photos being called mug shots and probably prefer "head shots".

Loc: New York City <<A quick Google confirmed my understanding that "head shot" is often used by, for example, actors and models to describe the glossy, well-produced "mug shots" they use to sell their wares.>>
These are often partial profiles.
<<Dear Seian: In computerese,"portrait" means longest side vertical, as contrasted with "landscape" meaning longest side horizontal.>>
Due to the different aspect ratios of the canvases ordinarilly used for paintings of these kinds, presumably.

Posts: 1 I found this paragraph in a discussion of paintings by Vermeer. Sounds like the Dutch word tronie and the French word trogne have been derived from a similar source.
The Tronie
"The now defunct term (tronie) refers to heads, "faces," or "expressions" (compare the French trogne, or "mug") and to a type of picture familiar from many examples by Rembrandt and his followers. The majority of Dutch tronies appear to have been based upon living models, including the artists in question or a colleague, but the works were not intended as portraits. Rather, they were meant as studies of expression, type, physiognomy, or any kind of interesting character (an old man, a young woman, a "Turk," a dashing soldier" and so on). Garments that looked foreign, "antique," costly, or simply curious were of interest for their own sake and frequently offered opportunities to show off painterly techniques. " 2

April 24, 2015
BUN stands for blood urea nitrogen. Urea nitrogen is what forms when protein breaks down.
A test can be done to measure the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood.
A blood sample is needed. Most of the time blood is typically drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
Many medicines can interfere with blood test results.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
The BUN test is often done to check kidney function.
The normal result is generally 6 - 20 mg/dL.
Note: Normal values may vary among different labs. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Higher-than-normal levels may be due to:
Lower-than-normal levels may be due to:
For people with liver disease, the BUN level may be low even if the kidneys are normal.

Residents unhappy with gas pipeline routeBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | January 12,2013MONKTON Tensions were high, but Monkton residents remained calm Thursday night as they voiced their growing displeasure with the proposed natural gas pipeline expansion project that could run through the middle of town.
My well will be impacted; its directly in the path of the pipeline, said resident Mike Bayer. We get nothing. We dont get the benefits to lower fuel costs. That is a giant problem. You will make a lot of damage to a lot of people to make money somewhere else.
Upwards of 80 people gathered at the Monkton fire station to meet with representatives from Vermont Gas Systems in a meeting that company officials hope will start the dialogue to resolve issues.
I want to start off on the right note, said Stephen Wark, director of communications with the company. I want to apologize. We have come up with a situation that has not worked for Monkton.
The Burlington-based company has proposed laying a gas pipeline through several towns in Chittenden and Addison counties. The $72 million project, known as the Addison Natural Gas Project, would connect the pipeline that enters Vermont at Highgate and extend it south to Middlebury and eventually Rutland.
The pipeline will also enable the company to provide more than half of the gas to International Paper Co., in Ticonderoga, N.Y.
The company initially intended to use the Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) right-of-way corridor, but now alternate routes may be used that include going through town. This did not sit well with residents.
I am appalled by your lack of sensitivity to the impact youre going to bring, one resident told company officials at the meeting.
Though some residents seemed to appreciate the companys apology, others felt it was already too late in the game especially since the project was filed with the Public Service Board last month.
Monkton resident Renee McGuinness went so far as serving Vermont Gas with a series of notices of no trespass from several residents.
These notices against trespass are our statement that were not willing to cooperate until you move the route, she said. Vermont Gas has not shown any consideration or respect.
Vermont Gas is also facing resistance from residents in Hinesburg, who also do not want the pipeline close to their homes, schools or drinking wells, and want another alternative route, whether in the town or bypassing the town.
Elsewhere, other municipalities have shown their support for the pipelines expansion. Last month Middlebury officials signed a letter supporting the project that, according to the company, would save approximately 2,100 eligible residential and business customers in Middlebury a combined $5 million per year on fuel oil.
In Rutland City, the Board of Aldermen are considering a resolution in support of the project.
I think it would bring huge benefits to the city and the area, said Mayor Christopher Louras, who proposed the resolution Monday. We could create jobs and retain jobs if its here.
He added, Its important that we sign on with a letter of support to the Public Service Board.
At the end of Thursdays meeting in Monkton, Don Gilbert, president and CEO of Vermont Gas Systems, said he found the public meeting to be helpful and apologized to residents for his companys apparent lack of communication.
We needed to hear this. We made a mistake in this case, he said. We want to work with you. We are committed to working with you.
Gilbert said the company is meeting with state regulators later this month to discuss rerouting the project and hopes to have representatives from Monkton at the table.
We need your help, Gilbert said.

text: 121 min | R Ralph Fiennes directs and stars as Charles Dickens in this opulent period drama about the great novelist's passionate, years–long secret affair with the young actress Nelly Ternan (Felicity Jones, LIKE CRAZY). THE INVISIBLE WOMAN is a rapturous chronicle of their relationship, which prompted the end of Dickens's marriage, survived a train crash, and inspired characters and scenarios in some of the author's most beloved novels. Fiennes' ambitious directorial follow up to 2011's CORIOLANUS is already being hailed as an Oscar contender for Jones riveting performance as the woman who sustained Dickens' lust for life in his final years.

Never-say-die Royals need Chen to deliver again
KC in desperate Wild Card chase as Mariners call on rookie Paxton
With six games left to play and the Royals three games back of the Indians for the second American League Wild Card spot, the team knows it has a lot of ground to make up. However, Kansas City isn't giving up hope.
The Royals will turn to veteran left-hander Bruce Chen on Tuesday in Seattle to get the job done. Chen has done well in his career against the Mariners, going 4-1 with a 3.21 ERA in 14 appearances (10 starts).
In his previous outing against the Indians, Chen allowed two runs on four hits in five innings of work for his eighth win of the season.
"Every game is a must win since we're behind and trying to catch up," said Chen.
Meanwhile, it will be 24-year-old rookie James Paxton on the hill for the Mariners in his fourth career start. He's just one of a few rookies, along with Nick Franklin, Brad Miller and Abraham Almonte, that manager Eric Wedge thinks fans should be excited about.
"I think that one thing we've had happen up here is these guys have been able to learn from each other, talking about the younger players," Wedge said. "When something happens with a young player, whether it be situational or maybe a mistake he made at home plate or in the field, whatever it may be, you can talk to three or four other ones about it so hopefully they don't have to go through that to learn from it."
Thanks to a fastball that hits 97 mph, Paxton is 2-0 with a 2.12 ERA in three starts. He took a no-decision in his last outing against the Tigers, allowing three runs on five hits in five innings of work.
"Today was definitely a battle," Paxton said after the start. "I didn't have my best stuff, and it was one of those games where I just had to grind it out. I just did my best to keep my team in the game and give them a chance."
Royals: Shields on target for start
• With his right elbow feeling better after getting hit with a batted ball, right-hander James Shields will make his final start of the regular season Friday against the White Sox.
"He's a little sore, a little bruised, he's fine," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "It got him pretty good, though. But he was going to battle through that, no matter what."
Shields was drilled in his elbow by David Murphy's liner when he led off the Rangers' third inning on Sunday.
"I was initially worried because it sounded like you threw a ball against that wall," Yost said, pointing. "You could tell it hit bone."
Mariners: Miller welcomed back to lineup
• Brad Miller returned to the Mariners starting lineup on Monday for the first time since straining his left hamstring on Sept. 14.
He was penciled in as the team's leadoff hitter and everyday shortstop. The rookie finished the game going 0-for-4 with two walks and a run scored.
"I think it's always healthy to be able to watch a big league game," Wedge said. "He's a student of the game himself anyways. He's not someone that sits by and doesn't pay attention. He's going to watch and learn and give us a chance to talk a little bit from time to time."
Worth noting
• Chen needs wins in his final two starts to become the first Royal with double-digit victories in four straight years since Kevin Appier did it from 1990-1993.
• The Mariners have a club record 15 extra-inning losses this year. In all, they are 6-15 in extra-inning contests.
