A Three-Island Tour
Trip Start
Oct 21, 2009
Trip End
Jan 12, 2010
Where I stayed
We were up and out of our room for breakfast a little later than usual today – because, hey, you can do that on an 11-week vacation. For breakfast, we found a place near Ponte di Rialto called "Mister Sandwich." Hah. I bought several yogurts at a grocery store on the way there (Lactobacillus acidophilus is good for my stomach!), so I had the yogurts plus an orange/hazelnut/chocolate biscuit and fresh-squeezed OJ. Murray enjoyed a salami sandwich and two cappuccinos (he tells me he has yet to have a bad – or even mediocre – cup of coffee or cappuccino in Italy, surprise, surprise).
After breakfast, we attempted – yet again – to call Sydney and talk to Murray's dad, who is recovering from surgery. We finally got through (hooray!), and we were so happy to talk to Perce, who is recovering and sounds great.
Our plan for today – rather than visit the Dorsoduro, where both the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (modern art) and the famous Gallerie dell'Accademia (Venetian art from the 14th to 18th centuries) are located – was to spend the day "outside" Venice, hitting the nearby islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello. So, near our breakfast place, we jumped on the Ponte di Rialto vaparetto to S. Marco, and from there, we took another boat for the roughly 40-minute ride to our first island of the day: Murano.
The people of Venice have been making crystal and glass since at least the 10th century. A few centuries later, the industries were moved to the island of Murano because of the fire hazard they posed to Venice proper. At one time, the methods of the crafts were such a well-guarded secret that it was considered treason for any glass-worker to leave the city! Today, Murano glassmaking is still known throughout the world, and the island still contains numerous glass-making factories (look for the "furnace," or "furnace" signs) where you can see glass-making and glass-blowing demonstrations.
Murray and I spent a few hours walking around Murano, and I remembered a few things from when I went there with my parents as a kid. The island has a lot of charm, filled with tiny inner-city canals, great Venetian architecture, and loads of glass shops. (I was tempted to buy so many different pieces of beautiful glass, but ultimately I refrained myself!) Many of the shop owners had their little dogs inside their shops with them, so we did quite a bit of dog-petting. Also on our tour, we popped into a few interesting churches, too, including the Chiesa di San Pietro and the Chiesa di SS Maria e Donato.
The Chiesa di SS Maria e Donato was fascinating (and, we read, a wonderful example of Veneto-Byzantine architecture). At first dedicated to the Virgin Mary, it was later dedicated to San Donato after his bones were brought here from Cephalonia, along with four bones from a dragon he allegedly slayed! Those four "dragon bones" still hang above the altar, under a magnificent mosaic of the Virgin Mary, dating back to the 12th century.
After churching it a little, Murray and I had a great little lunch right on one of the canals. For primi piattis, I had lasagna while Murray had salmon farfalle. For secondis, I had grilled chicken and Murray had grilled pork (guess what he had to drink?!). Yumm-o. In order to digest our lunch, we did some more walking around Murano, and then later stopped for espresso and hot chocolate before boarding a ferry to our next island, Burano (26 minutes away). By that time, it was already later afternoon, so when we got to Burano we immediately boarded another vaparetto to Torcello (only a 5-minute ride), as the church we wanted to see in there had an early closing time.
Torcello was an awesome little place! It enjoyed a golden age from the mid-7th to 13th centuries, when it was home to more than 20,000 people. However, rivalries with Venice, along with several malaria epidemics, systematically reduced the island's population (and its splendor) over the centuries, and today, only about 20 (!) people call it home. However, with its rich-looking farm fields, overgrown main square, and sparse, scruffy-looking buildings and monuments, Murray and I really fell in love with the understated charm of the place. (We even saw a glorious old estate with a "for sale" sign on it – a salmon-colored old palazzo, with acres of unused vineyards behind it and numerous cats and chickens running about – and we seriously imagined ourselves, if just for a few minutes, purchasing it…!)
Walking on a newly-cobblestoned path along Torcello's main, tiny little canal, Murray and I went directly to the Santa Maria Assunta, another Veneto-Byzantine cathedral. We were blown away by this place, too! Founded in the 7th century and rebuilt in the 11th, the Santa Maria Assunta is Venice's very FIRST cathedral. From the outside, it is completely unassuming – simply built in chalky brick and containing a small reflecting pool in front. The interior of the church, however, was something to admire.
The back wall of the cathedral is flanked by a massive and spectacular mosaic with several panels depicting the Last Judgment. Moreover, at the dome in the front of the cathedral, an even more magnificent gilded mosaic of the Madonna resides. Starkly set on a pure gold background, the figure is serene and striking all at once. (Unfortunately, we couldn't take photos inside this or any other church on the three islands we visited today.) It was a very interesting church, perhaps made even more so by its idyllic location on this island.
Before leaving the Santa Maria Assunta, we also stopped in to see the adjacent, tiny Chiesa de Santa Fosca, which houses the body of Saint Fosca. For such a small space, it also packed a fighting punch in terms of its architecture and artwork. (Due to restoration work, we couldn't climb the large bell tower related to both the church and the chapel – although that probably would've been just Murray and not me!). As we were leaving Torcello and returning back to Burano, we saw a gorgeous sunset over all the islands in the area.
I didn't think anything could top little Torcello, but upon returning to tour Burano, we found we loved it there, too! Burano is a bright, cheerful fishing village, known for its lace industry (there are gorgeous lace shops everywhere; I did have to refrain myself from buying a few little girls' dresses, as we don't yet know if Baby Boo is a girl or a boy…!). What we really adored about this place, though, was those vibrant colors. Even though it was getting dark out by the time we walked through the island, still we could admire the shocking rainbow of colors adorning all the different shops and houses that line the island's streets and canals (if they were this vibrant after sunset – imagine what they must be like in the middle of a sunny day!). The brightly-colored buildings made for a really unique and spectacular setting.
While in Burano, we did walk to the Chiesa di San Martino Vescovo, which contained, in its entryway, a large gold statue of Pope John Paul II. This particular church also was situated on a large piazza of the same name, and we were amazed by the number of schoolchildren that were playing there (a large soccer game was going on, and there were many tiny bicyclists around, etc!). I thought that if I lived in Burano, that would be a really fun thing to do each evening – head to the piazza and let your kids loose to play with other kids in any number of activities, while you chatted with the rest of the parents on the sidelines.
After a quick dessert in Burano, we grabbed the ferry for the hour+ ride back to Venice (this time, we discovered on the map that if we got off at the first stop back in Venice, we could walk back to our hotel much more quickly than taking two more vaparettos to get there). We spent a few hours in our room before grabbing dinner at the local l'osteria, which we really enjoyed. We had beautiful eggplant and mozzarella croquettes as an appetizer, and for our pasta, we shared a plate of gnochiette (baby gnocchi) in butter and fresh sage. Divine! For our main meal, Murray had liver and onions in gravy (double yuck), with polenta, while I had an eggplant, mozzarella, and tomato dish with polenta. Aside from the spectacular food, the noteworthy event at dinner was Murray's beer, which was served in a boot!
After dinner, back to our hotel, and sleep...

Honig Cabernet Sauvignon Bartolucci 2010
- California
- United States
- Napa Valley
- Saint Helena
Professional Wine Reviews for Honig Cabernet Sauvignon Bartolucci 2010Additional information » |
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
By far and away the most recognized and widely grown red wine grape varietal in the world is the Cabernet Sauvignon. First cultivated in the 18th century in France, this wonderful cross of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes has long since been the most important varietal for red wines across the globe. Now grown everywhere from its native France to the furthest reaches of the New World, Cabernet Sauvignon is adored and prized by wineries for its hardiness and resistance to rot, as well as its large and sharp flavors and wonderful capability for fine aging Indeed, many of the finest wines of history and the modern age would be simply unimaginable without Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with the famed wineries of Bordeaux and other important regions using it as the primary grape in their oak aged produce. High tannin levels, acidity and powerful flavors are the characteristics most commonly associated with this varietal, however, when blended and slowly aged, it is capable of a world of flavors and aromas unmatched by any other grape.
When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Anybody with an interest in New World wines is surely in agreement with the fact that Napa Valley in California is now, without much doubt, one of the world's premier wine regions. With an ideal climate for viticulture, fertile and mineral rich soils, and a dedication for quality and expression of terroir, Napa Valley wines consistently impress on the world stage with their flavors, aromas and overall character. The wineries of the valley have had plenty of success with a wide range of grape varietals, which flourish in the heat and ripen fully in the Californian sunshine each year, and the innovation and experimentation undertaken by the vintners of the region has helped create a wine culture and reputation in the valley which is unique, yet classic a perfect blend of the new and the old.

I just saw the movie today - I agree that it's really hard to follow if you're not fully paying attention (which was my main problem - I had a lot of people coming in and out during the movie) But the movie is shot beautifully and Ryan does a really good job in it.
where it says "describe your ideal career," you've just drawn a picture of a snake.

i don't know... i liked this movie because it was different... but it never occurred to me that maybe Henry was seeing his life after the one in the car... so the whole movie is a totally other reality of what was before.... So, basically, the whole movie is about what would happen if Henry died and about his second life. His gf does not recognize him, and he is going through hell because he thinks he has killed his girlfriend and his father and mother, and that is why he wants to kill himself. He also keeps seeing pictures from his other life while trying to move on, and therefore cannot move on, because he is bugged by it. In the scene where he asks Ewan about his ring (He asked him:"Where did you get it?") and Ewan told him that he bought it, Henry remembers that he was going to ask his girlfriend to marry him and that he had the same ring. That is why the old guy says in the end that life is an allusion. He is imagining those things, living another life, if you know what I mean.... I don't know... But I think that's basically the point of the movie....

The script was wonderful. I just loved the whole concept of the dream before the last awakening. Going back to the harsh reality and everything starts to be messier and messier with the length of the dream. Because after all, before waking up the dreams never make real linear sense. Life is just a mix between the reality and the dream.
Beautiful! That's just the word, and the colours, oh my.. A real work of genious with the greatest actors. Ryan is wonderful. __________________

Next-Gen Grab Bag - Ask GameSpot
Chris and Peter field questions about the impending Next Generation of consoles. Get your console hype flowing by joining the conversation.
by Andy Bauman on
Have a burning question about an upcoming game? Get it answered on Ask GameSpot!
Schedule: Mondays at 12pm PT
I'm happy to wait out this console launch for the lack of interesting launch titles. But man do I still want something shiny to drool over at Christmas.
I know the PS4 controller will work with the PS3, but I'm not getting one till I get a PS4. Half the the fun of a new console is the new controller
I think it's quite beautiful. The touchpad give it a unique look, and the handle looks smooth and much more comfortable than the xbox controller. But it's just my opinion.
I like the PS4, but this controller is uglier than in the other pictures and videos, I mean, good god.
Is the button to the left of the triangle button the start button? Just wondering.
last few days, sony says ps4 won't play mp3, cd's, and streaming DLNA features !!
So what is the latest news,, is there any changes ,,are they bringing back these features - is nice to have since xbox says the one can - would they make a patch - ready on launch day
but it already was great with the new D pad n the grey limited controller!! nver had any trouble since this appeared http://www.justpushstart.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/New-Xbox-360-controller-340x300.jpg
I tried it yesterday ans yes, very comfortable. I hope ot works well with all PS3 games. Ill aell two of my DS3s and just get a second one.
The new Xbox controller is awesome, they fixed the d pad which was my only complaint. The PS controllers have always sucked
How it looks entails how it feels too, I'm also pretty sure the design shape was massively considered you just made yourself sound like a complete fanboy by saying the shape doesn't matter. An if you're saying it's super comfy, then you've obviously used one. The shape always matters, design always matters, quality always matters. You don't get a choice of less than best with anything, even the new consoles they're decent for a while.
I'm getting the x1 bit I gotta say Sony have stepped up on the control front. Its big it fits in the hand nicely. The 360 control was a mile ahead of the ps3 but this gen I'm not so sure.
I cant wait for the DS4. Im excited about the triggers man. I could not deal with DS3 for Shooters, so this will be my excitement moment. Killzone will be my first shooter on next gen. Also getting AC4
This controller is a whole lot better than the Ds3. The Xbox controller looks the same but with new triggers
DS4 is a perfect controller. They fixed if not improved the Triggers, D Pad right where it belongs for figtthing games. Not anymore convex Thumbsticks, and is bigger controller compared to DS3, but not so big which fits perfectly for small and big hands.
It is super comfortable, also a big improvement from the DS3's who cares what it looks like as long as it functions.
I'm a fan of all systems and the ds4 looks great. The Xbox controller looks bland
Going to be painfully slow two weeks between november 15th-29th to watch NA peoples already playing next-gen, even the Xbots, yeah even the Xbone is already released in NA when PS4 arrives in Europe. Maybe I'll go full offline for two weeks.
since we're on the topic of "next gen", is there any chance you guys can review (at 60 fps) the nvidia gtx 780 ti to when it drops this month? also what about AMD mantle and how that plays into the next gen cross platform games.
Question, will you guys have any reviews ready when PS4 and Xbox One games ready when they are release? 2, will you do reviews on the next-gen consoles them self? Thanks for your time GS.
@Munstable Hehe I think the super wide angle shots of it make it look uglier than it is. It's actually pleasing in real life I think.
@Munstable I really don't care what the controllers look like, I am not buying the new systems for there looks. Functionality is all that matters, they could make the worlds ugliest controller but if it played better then current controllers whatever.
@snaketus Careful, though. You might get hooked on being offline. Kinda like giving up salt.

Workers for companies smaller than 100 employees are 25 percent more likely to be happy, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing the "Happiness at Work" survey.
Supervisors are 27 percent more likely to be happy at work and workers in a skilled trade have a 50 percent better chance at being satisfied with their employment.
Other factors that affect workplace happiness include the privilege of supervising others and working as a caregiver versus a sales salesmen.
The biggest indicators of workplace satisfaction included whether employees enjoy their duties, can focus on what they're best at and if they have pride in their employer.
Work relationships, having a part in workplace decisions, self-progression and a job's social impact are other indicators that could change workplace happiness.
So far, 11,000 users in 90 countries have taken the survey.

Current Topics of Importance
Purple Loosestrife: It's A Pretty Big Problem
Between July and September, you may notice a tall, bushy plant with very attractive magenta colored flowers growing along your shoreline, perhaps in a wetland, along a wet ditch area or maybe in your garden. This striking plant is tall enough to shield unwanted views and grows with little or no care so the uninformed might see it as a charming shrub. But once the facts are presented, it becomes very clear that this plant, Purple Loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria is nothing but trouble.
A native of Europe and Asia, Purple Loosestrife was introduced in the United States as a garden plant. It reproduces predominantly by seed however reproduction by roots and underground stems is also common. Due to rapid reproduction (a mature plant can produce up to 3 million seeds), vigorous growth and lack of natural predators, Purple Loosestrife quickly escaped cultivation and has since invaded many of our valuable natural areas.
Purple Loosestrife can take over wetlands and lakeshore areas within a few years. These natural areas are important habitat for many native species of plants, birds, insects, amphibians, and animals, which often disappear when Purple Loosestrife outcompete the native plants in an area. Purple Loosestrife is so detrimental that is has been added to the Wisconsin's Invasive Species law, Chapter NR 40 as a restricted species. As a restricted species, it is illegal to transport, transfer or introduce all cultivars, hybrids and varieties of Lythrum salicaria and L. virgatum.
In order to prevent new infestations it is important to identify and eliminate large and small populations of Purple Loosestrife. If care is taken to minimize soil disturbance, single plants or small populations can sometimes be carefully dug out and disposed of. It is important to make sure all of the root is removed or new shoots will grow. Once plants start to flower it is important to remove the flowering stalks carefully and dispose of them away from water. This is done by bending the flowering stalk into a bag and cutting it so that it falls into the bag. Allow the plants to dry and burn if possible so that seeds do not disperse. On large sites, chemical control may be an option. If the Purple Loosestrife is growing near water, a DNR permit may be required and the chemical may need to be one that is acceptable for use on water. For more information about aquatic plant management and control visit the WI. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) website at http://dnr.wi.gov/lakes/plants/ and/or contact Heidi Bunk, DNR Water Resources Management Specialist at (262) 574-2130. Using either control method will require continued monitoring and control efforts because seeds in the soil will continue to germinate for several years.
In larger, more severe infestations, manual and chemical control may be too expensive or labor intensive. However, the use of specially selected and highly tested insects that feed on Purple Loosestrife have been shown to be highly successful. This method is known as biological control (biocontrol) and research has shown that these specialized insects reduce both plant height, seed output and overall plant numbers. This allows other, native plants to regain control in a few years. Wisconsin DNR and UWEX have created a program in which hundreds of citizens have raised and released millions of beetles that feed on Purple Loosestrife. For more information about Purple Loosestrife biocontrol, contact Brock Woods, WI Purple Loosestrife & Wetland Invasive Plant Program Coordinator at (608) 266-2554, email at email@example.com
For those gardeners that enjoy the magenta flowers, there are several attractive alternatives, such as: Blazing star, Liatris pycnostachya. Foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, Obedient Plant, Physostegia virginiana and Steeplebush, spiraea tomentosa. These, and a few other look-a like plants can sometimes make identification difficult. For assistance with identification of Purple Loosestrife in Walworth County, please feel free to contact Audrey Greene, Lake Specialist & Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator at 262-741-7902 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Citizen Lake Monitoring for the Future of Your Lake
The Citizen Lake Monitoring Network (CLMN), formerly Self-Help Lake Monitoring, is a collaboration between citizen volunteers and the Wisconsin Lakes Partnership (Wisconsin DNR and UW-Extension and Wisconsin Lakes) that began in 1986 as a means to involve citizens and increase lake protection. There are currently over 1200 CLMN volunteers in Wisconsin collecting information about their lakes. The work is unpaid, but the results are invaluable. As monitors work on their lakes, they acquire knowledge that helps them become more effective at protecting their lakes. They also collect data that very likely would not be collected without them, because there is simply not enough DNR staff available.
CLMN volunteers may choose to monitor for water clarity using a Secchi disk or they might be interested in collecting water chemistry data. Some monitors decide they would rather learn to identify and map native aquatic plants, while others prefer to look for one or more of the aquatic invasive species (AIS) that threaten their lake. The decision is totally up to the volunteer but whatever their choice, or choices, the DNR and UW-Extension CLMN staff provide the equipment and training.
There are currently 23 lakes in Walworth County that have water quality data on the DNR website thanks to volunteer monitors. Depending on the lake, this data may go back for more than 20 years. Anyone that is interested and has access to a computer can easily find all water quality monitoring data on the by visiting the DNR website lakes page at http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Lakes/ and then clicking on "Lakes A-Z".
In recent years many CLMN volunteers have started monitoring their lake for new AIS introductions or tracking existing populations of AIS to protect their lakes. It is well known that AIS can cause large problems on lakes. Aquatic invasive plants can clog boating lanes and diminish recreational opportunities Aquatic invasive plants and animals reduce essential habitat and out compete native species. The economic damage to taxpayers for management of the AIS that are currently in Wisconsin waterways is currently several million dollars per year. New AIS will mean higher costs, however, finding new populations of AIS before they become established has been shown to lower control costs and provides a much higher possibility of eradication.
Through the CLMN training, volunteers are taught to monitor their lake for one or more of a variety of AIS. They will learn where and when to look for the species they decide to monitor and what steps to take if they discover a suspicious plant or animal. Volunteers do not need to have any previous experience or knowledge of AIS. They also do not have to devote a huge amount of time. An hour or two once a month through the boating season is more than enough for most species and several species require considerably less time than that. Some monitors look for AIS by checking at boat ramps and beaches. Others look in deeper water areas. It is entirely up to the volunteer to decide what they want to do.
The lakes in this county are some of our most precious natural resources and they need the best protection we can give them. Educating lake users about AIS and prevention methods has increased protection but we can always go one step more. Please consider becoming a CLMN for AID monitor on your lake. If you have questions or would like more information please contact Audrey Greene at (262) 741-7902 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Aquariums & Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)
As fall winds down and winters cold temperatures freeze the lake, those of us that love the water look for other ways to experience the pleasure of it. Many people find that the underwater world of aquariums do provide the relaxation and beauty they crave.
Pet stores and internet sources make setting up and populating an aquarium easy and fun, but aquarium enthusiasts need to be aware that Chapter NR 40, Wisconsin's Invasive Species Identification, Classification and Prevention law has resulted in the regulation of some popular, but highly invasive, aquarium plants. Several of these prohibited and restricted plants are sold through the internet and out of state sources. They are often promoted as species that will beautify and oxygenate your tank, and while they may indeed be beautiful, they could cause huge problems for Wisconsin waterways. Below is a list of popular aquarium plants that are prohibited or restricted. Prohibited species may not be transported, possessed, transferred or introduced in Wisconsin. Restricted species may not be transported, transferred, or introduced in Wisconsin.
There are many aquarium plants that are not listed as AIS in Wisconsin so there will be no shortage of attractive plants for aquatic gardeners to enjoy. Regardless of whether or not an aquarium species is regulated in Wisconsin, never dump any plants, fish or animals into any lake, pond or stream. Besides the fact that it is illegal and the fines are quite large, they could do immense harm to our waterways.
To further protect Wisconsin from AIS, verify the scientific names of any aquatic plants purchased and inspect all shipments/purchases to ensure that the plant ordered is indeed the plant received and that there are no 'hitchhikers' included. Dispose of unwanted aquarium species responsibly. Check with your retailer for possible returns or bag and throw in the trash.

We have again been granted a permit from the Department of Natural Resources for chemical treatments on Delavan Lake. A copy of the permit is available by contacting the District office and on the Aquatic Plant Harvesting page of this website.
Chemical spraying for nuisance aquatic plants is planned as follows:
Inlet Area - The first treatment will be in early May if conditions warrant. Additional treatments as needed. The treatment area will be around the piers and up to 150 feet from shore..
Outlet Area -The first treatment will be in early May if conditions warrant. Additional treatments as needed. The treatment area will be around the piers and up to 150 feet from shore.
Southwest Bay - This area goes from South Shore Manor west to the Island. Treatment is planned for early June if conditions warrant. The treatment area will be around the piers and up to 150 feet from shore.
Northwest Bay - This area goes from Chicago Club west to the Island. Treatment is planned for early June if conditions warrant. The treatment area will be around the piers and up to 150 feet from shore.
North Shore - This area extends from the Yacht Club to Assembly Park. Treatment is planned for early June if conditions warrant. The treatment area will be around the piers and up to 150 feet from shore.
We again plan to treat the entire developed shoreline for algae control. The initial treatment is planned for a week to 10 days before the July 4th holiday. Additional treatments may occur if conditions warrant.
All planned chemical treatments are subject to lake and weather conditions as well as Department of Natural Resources approval.
Our plans for mechanical harvesting remain much the same as past years. We intend to launch our harvesting equipment the week of May 19th and begin the initial harvesting of plants in the access channels at that time. After June 15th we will harvest all areas of the lake as conditions warrant.

How to wired two 8" drivers
Hi... I am new to speaker building, so I decide to buy drivers and Crossover already made for them. But the crossover is for 3 ways system with 3 drivers.
And I want to put 2 * 8" drivers. So what modification should I have to make to the crossover or how can I wired the drivers so that everthing work fine... Building the enclosure is not an issue, but I am not an expert yet on crossover design!! Can someone help me? Thanks for any replies. |

Ok, you mean to tell me you want a only two 8" drivers? If so you're going to need a tweeter. And when you add you're tweeter you're not going to have a 3-way system, it'll be two way (one "way" for the tweeter, and another for your two 8" drivers). Have you already bought the drivers? If not you might want to look for some drivers better suited for your crossover. Keep in mind that the crossover you bought if for speakers of a certain impedence (more then likely 8ohms), so you couldn't use two 8" drivers easily unless their 4ohms each (in series it will then be 8ohms). If you've already bought your drivers and crossover you're in a little pickle, you could change the crossover parts to suit your two 8 inchers and tweeter and make a MTM, but you'd be better off building a new one from scratch. Or you could add a 4" midrange or something simillar, that is if you can use your two 8" drivers (if their 8ohms each and your crossover is for 8ohm drivers, it'd be easier to use only one, but if they're 4ohms, wire them in series to achieve 8ohms, this is gathering you've got a crossover for 8ohm loads, which is most common, but it might not be).
And it's nice to see a fellow quebecer here... |

This may depend on the overall impedance that your amplifier can handle. To be on the safe side, you could wire them in series: Take a wire from the positive terminal of the crossover, and connect it to one of the positive terminals of the speaker. Now take a wire from that speaker's negative terminal and connect it to the positive terminal on the other speaker. Then, run a wire from the last negative terminal back to the negative terminal of the crossover.
If your amp can handle a lower impedance, you can wire them in parallel. This means that you connect each speakers terminal's normally with separate wires to the appropriate crossover terminals. So essentially what you'll have is two wires leading from the positive terminal of the crossover to the positive terminal on each individual speaker, and the same for the negative terminals. Edit: This was assuming that you have a tweeter, midrange, and two 8 inch bass drivers. All connections mentioned would be from the terminals of the low pass section of the filter.

Two 8" Drivers
Forgot to mentionned.. I have a tweeter and a midrange!! (not so newbie
The crossover are designed exactly for the drivers that I have, but only for 1 woofer.. and I want 2 (for more bass and better look) So I will try to connect them in series like Super mentionned... (I tought that I will had to modified the crossover...) So if it's so simple, I am on business!! Thanks guys. |

MisterB you will have to modify the crossover because the impedance is different to what it was designed for.

45-day wait until results puts Himachal Pradesh to sleep

- Shivraj Singh Chouhan calls MNREGA 'one of the best programmes'
Three weeks have passed since Himachal Pradesh voted and another three are to go before the results are declared on December 20. The one-and-a-half-month gap, longest in the state's history, has virtually halted the administration with the model code of conduct still in force.
The bureaucracy is on what can be called a paid holiday. The only activity that has been keeping bureaucrats (if they are still in the state) and political leaders busy is discussions on the outcome, some predicting a repeat victory by the BJP and others unwilling to write the Congress off.
At least two dozen bureaucrats, half the heads of departments and MDs of state-run PSUs, have either taken leave or gone on training within and outside the country. Many have, in fact, cleared their desks, as if to signify they are waiting for a change that will allow them to lobby for new positions. Only chief secretary Sudripta Roy and a handful of others are holding fort in the secretariat rooms. Deputy commissioners and SPs have become little more than custodians of EVMs.
The Election Commission can selectively relax the model code if approached, but government departments are wary of inviting tenders for fresh contracts. Some 125 detailed project reports of new road schemes proposed under PMGSY are pending approval, as are half a dozen national highway projects. New investments in power, tourism and infrastructure development had come in the past three months but investors are now holding back expansion proposals. Foreign-funded projects in forestry, roads and other sectors too have slowed down.
"Some of the projects, both under implementation and proposed, will be affected. We are trying to convince the EC to allow awarding major contracts. Some relaxations have been conveyed in certain cases but that isn't really enough," Roy said. At a meeting of the committee of secretaries called by Roy, the majority view was against playing any "proactive" role by inviting tenders or sanctioning new work.

Chronic ear infection refers to an ear infection that does not heal, or recurring ear infections. This may also be known as recurring acute otitis media. The middle ear, the space behind the eardrum, is affected by this infection.
The Eustachian tube, a tube that normally drains fluid from the middle ear, can become plugged and infected. This buildup of fluid presses on the eardrum, causing pain. If left untreated, an infection can cause the eardrum to rupture. Eustachian tubes in children are smaller and more horizontal, so they can become plugged more easily. This is why ear infections occur more commonly in children.
A chronic ear infection can cause milder symptoms than an acute ear infection. Symptoms may affect one or both ears and may be constant or come and go. Signs include:
An infant may seem fussier than usual, especially when lying down as this puts pressure on the ear. Your baby's eating and sleeping habits may also change. Pulling and tugging on the ear can also be a sign of a chronic ear infection in infants. However, this can also be caused by teething or exploration of the body.
If you or your child is having symptoms of an acute ear infection, which includes ear pain, fever, and trouble hearing, you should see your doctor. Getting an acute ear infection treated promptly can help prevent a chronic ear infection. You should also see your doctor if:
Chronic ear infections require medical treatment. However, home treatment can help relieve your symptoms. Home treatment includes:
If you have a chronic ear infection, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics. These may be taken orally or given intravenously (in a vein) if the infection is severe. Your doctor may suggest ear drops if you have a hole (perforation) in the eardrum. Antibiotic ear drops can also be used, or your doctor may suggest using a diluted vinegar solution.
Surgery may be needed for chronic ear infections that are not responding to treatment or are causing hearing problems. Hearing problems can be especially problematic in children because they can cause speech and language problems at an important time in development.
Your doctor may wish to go in surgically and insert a small tube through the ear drum connecting the middle ear and the outer ear. Inserting ear tubes helps the fluid in the inner ear drain, which can reduce the number of infections and the severity of symptoms. Ear tubes are usually placed in both ears. This procedure is called a bilateral myringotomy.
To do this procedure, a surgeon will make a tiny hole in the eardrum. The fluid will be suctioned out of the ear, and a small tube will be inserted through the hole. Tubes usually fall out on their own, about six to 18 months after they are inserted. If the tubes do not fall out, surgery may be required to remove the tubes.
Other types of surgery may be required if the infection has spread. There are a number of small bones in the middle ear. If these bones become infected, surgery may be required to repair or replace them. The eardrum can also be damaged by a chronic ear infection. If the eardrum is not healing properly, surgery may be required to repair damage.
Rarely, the infection can spread to the mastoid bone, a bone located behind the ear. If the infection spreads to the mastoid bone, surgery is required to clean out the infection. This is known as a mastoidectomy.
If left untreated, a chronic ear infection can cause a number of problems. These possible complications include:
There are a number of things you can do to help reduce you and your child's risk of developing a chronic ear infection. These include:

Yesterday we had a look at an overview of SharePoint 2010, focusing on the updated User Experience. But there's a lot more to the next version of SharePoint (news, site). In this sneak peek, let's look at what's new for developers and IT professionals.
For the SharePoint Developer
We've already seen a few of the new things in Visual Studio 2010 for SharePoint. But what you see in this 25 minute video will probably make you that much more anxious to get your hands on both SharePoint 2010 and the Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Tools.
Life definitely gets easier for the SharePoint developer with 2010, something well deserved we think. A few things we saw and liked:
Visual Web Part Designer: In fact, here's a look at all the new designers available.
Visual Studio Designers
A SharePoint implementation of LINQ: Get up to speed with this new way of accessing data.
A Client Object Model for SharePoint: This is a new object model for SharePoint for rich client development, including developing Silverlight applications
A designer for Business Connectivity Entities (we mentioned the change from BDC to BCS in our first article). With the ability to now read and write with BCS, the improvements here are very important to understand. Creating BCS entities here makes them available to not only SharePoint, but also Office 2010 applications.
Visual Studio 2010 Visual BCS Designer
Integrated Debugging: Create your SharePoint components and then run the debugger. You are automatically placed into the SharePoint environment to test your component.
Developer Dashboard in SharePoint: This dashboard is available for any web page within the SharePoint site to assist with development and debugging. It provides all kinds of diagnostic information including: detailed page request information, information on web part rendering, authenticated user and more.
Developer Dashboard
For the IT Professional
This was a quick look at some of new capabilities that should help manage SharePoint a bit better. Included here were things like:
Revamped Centralized Administration: They've cleaned it up and grouped the functionality so you can manage things just a little bit better.
SharePoint Best Practices Analyzer: A few services here are used to monitor and manage the health of your SharePoint implementation. Set up your rules and then either have the issues automatically fixed or fix them yourself.
Best Practices for Monitoring and Health Management
Logging and Reporting: Logging is now done to a SQL database that is customizable and fully extensible so you can have the logging you want. All reports are run off this logging database and you have the ability to create your own customized reports.
Logging and Reporting
Large List Management: Set your own thresholds for large lists.
Managing Large Lists
Backup and Recovery: Work with an unattached content database to restore items, lists and sites. Browse the content database, create backups or export a site or list to another location.
Smooth Migration Path from SharePoint 2007: Easily attach a SharePoint 2007 content database to a SharePoint 2010 install. You then have the ability to maintain your original UI, preview the 2010 UI or switch to the new UI and never look back.

Toyota Solara Engine >> CAMSHAFT TIMING
Camshaft Timing On
Toyota 1.6L DOHC 4AF and 4AFE Engines
Timing the camshafts on 1.6L DOHC Toyota engines can be a source of frustration. This popular DOHC, 16 valve engine is used in Corollas and Celicas
The cause of the frustration is two sets of timing marks on each of the integral camshaft gears (Figure 1). Each set of marks has a particular purpose. One set is used to time the intake with the exhaust camshaft when they are mounted to the cylinder head. The other set indicates the TDC (Top Dead Center) for both
Mount the camshafts to the cylinder head using the following steps:
1) Install the exhaust camshaft and torque the bearing caps in sequence to
108 in.lbs. (Figure 2).
2) Rotate the exhaust camshaft to position the knock pin slightly past
9 o'clock (Figure 3).
3) Mount the intake camshaft, aligning the installation timing marks and torque
the bearing caps in sequence to 108 in.lbs.
4) Rotate the camshafts to ensure alignment of the timing marks.
5) Finish by aligning the TDC timing marks (Figure 1).
The cylinder head is ready for installation on the cylinder block. Align the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets before positioning the timing belt (Figure 4). Aligning the through hole in the camshaft sprocket with the mark on the camshaft
bearing cap is the only tricky part.
