Data Resources/RBLC
CATC maintains a technology data base called the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse * or RBLC. The RBLC provides data on prevention and control technology determinations made primarily by state and local permitting agencies. The Clearinghouse contains over 3,500 determinations that can help you identify appropriate technologies to mitigate or treat most air pollutant emission streams. The RBLC was designed to help permit applicants and reviewers make pollution prevention and control technology decisions for stationary air pollution sources and includes data submitted by 50 states and territories in the U.S. on over 200 different air pollutants and 1,000 industrial processes.
The Clearinghouse also has a rule data base that summarizes all emission standards issued by EPAs Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS). This includes new source performance standards (NSPS), national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP), and maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards. The rule data base also includes prevention and control technology cost information related to each rule and references to supporting documentation.
You query the RBLC data on-line and choose what you want to see by making selections in a user-friendly query routine or selecting search criteria. The result is a data set that you have created that can either be viewed, printed or downloaded to your PC. You are in control!
Data Resources/CATC Products
The CATC WWW site provides access to CATC products including products generated by its predecessor, the Control Technology Center (CTC). Products include reports, software tools, fact sheets and brochures generated by the CATC, RBLC, and CICA. CICA products are accessed through links to this specialized WWW site.
CICA - U.S.-Mexico Border Information Center on Air Pollution / Centro de Información sobre Contaminación de Aire
CICA provides technical support and assistance in evaluating air pollution problems along the U.S. -Mexico border. It provides a bilingual (Spanish/English) information line and WWW site. The WWW site includes air quality data for the border, information on border air quality programs and CICA projects, downloadable products generated by CICA and others on border air pollution problems and solutions, and links to other related WWW sites. Access CICA through the CATC WWW site, or access CICA directly at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/cica.
International Technology Transfer Center for Global Greenhouse Gases
The International Technology Transfer Center for Global Greenhouse Gases provides technology transfer regarding greenhouse gas emissions. This assistance includes characterizations of global emissions from anthropogenic sources, and available prevention, mitigation, and control technologies/ strategies for major sources of greenhouse gases. Information is available for methane emissions from landfills and other waste management facilities, the natural gas industry, and coal mining. In addition, information is available on biomass utilization for energy generation and production of liquid fuel, and for pollution prevention technologies.
* NOTE: Are you wondering what RACT, BACT and LAER stand for and why these acronyms are part of the Clearinghouse name? Well, they are acronyms for different program requirements required under the Clean Air Act which also gave us the name RACT/BACT/ LAER Clearinghouse. RACT, or Reasonably Available Control Technology, is required on existing sources in areas that are not meeting national ambient air quality standards (i.e.,non-attainment areas). BACT, or Best Available Control Technology is required on major new or modified sources in clean areas (i.e., attainment areas). LAER, or Lowest Achievable Emission Rate, is required on major new or modified sources in nonattainment areas. However, data in the Clearinghouse is not limited just to sources subject to these requirements. Noteworthy prevention and control technology decisions are included in the RBLC even if they are not related to RACT, BACT, or LAER decisions.

Bruins-Maple Leafs series opens Wednesday
BOSTON -- The Bruins finally learned the identity of their first-round playoff opponent after dropping a 4-2 decision to the Ottawa Senators on the TD Garden ice, and falling into the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The regulation loss meant the Bruins ceded the Northeast Division championship to the Montreal Canadiens, and will host the No. 5 seed Toronto Maple Leafs in a series that will begin on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at TD Garden.
The Bruins have taken nine of their last 10 matchups with the Leafs and had won eight straight against Toronto prior to a March loss at the Air Canada Centre that saw backup goalie Anton Khudobin pulled from the game.
The Bruins aren't resting on the fact they've dominated Toronto over the last few years, though, and will instead be looking to find the upper register of their own game that's eluded them in the 48-game shortened lockout season.
"It's always fun. It's two of the biggest hockey markets going at it. Maybe not as classic a rivalry as a Montreal-Boston, or Toronto-Montreal, I guess," said Shawn Thornton. "But I think whenever you have two Original Six teams going at it and they haven't been in it for a while. ... I know they're going to be pretty jacked up, up there [in Toronto]."
The storylines will be coming fast and furiously with the bulk of the national Canadian hockey media trailing Toronto in their first playoff berth since 2004, and that should add to what will be three-ring media circus tracking every move with both the Bruins and the Maple Leafs. Here is the schedule for the Bruins-Leafs series:
Wednesday, May 1: 7 p.m., Toronto at Boston, CNBC
Saturday, May 4: 7 p.m., Toronto at Boston, CNBC,
Monday, May 6: 7 p.m., Boston at Toronto, NHL Network
Wednesday, May 8: 7 p.m., Boston at Toronto, NHL Network
*Friday, May 10: 7 p.m., Toronto at Boston
*Sunday, May 12: TBD, Boston at Toronto
*Monday, May 13: TBD, Toronto at Boston

TLS Everywhere, not https: URIs - Design Issues
This is a really good point from Tim Berners-Lee: there's no good reason why switching to TLS should require a change of URLs from http:// to https://
This is a really good point from Tim Berners-Lee: there's no good reason why switching to TLS should require a change of URLs from http:// to https://
Luke continues to tilt against the windmills of the security theatre inertia that still has us hiding passwords by default. As ever, he's got the data to back up his findings.
Tracking the state of TLS support on prominent websites. It doesn't look great, particularly in the States.
There are some good points here comparing HTTP2 and SPDY, but I'm mostly linking to this because of the three wonderful opening paragraphs:
A very long time ago —in 1989 —Ronald Reagan was president, albeit only for the final 19½ days of his term. And before 1989 was over Taylor Swift had been born, and Andrei Sakharov and Samuel Beckett had died.
In the long run, the most memorable event of 1989 will probably be that Tim Berners-Lee hacked up the HTTP protocol and named the result the "World Wide Web." (One remarkable property of this name is that the abbreviation "WWW" has twice as many syllables and takes longer to pronounce.)
Tim's HTTP protocol ran on 10Mbit/s, Ethernet, and coax cables, and his computer was a NeXT Cube with a 25-MHz clock frequency. Twenty-six years later, my laptop CPU is a hundred times faster and has a thousand times as much RAM as Tim's machine had, but the HTTP protocol is still the same.
A really handy command-line tool that scans your site for mixed content — very useful if you're making the switch from http to https.
A fascinating look at how the humble password gets imbued with incredible levels of meaning.
It reminds me of something I heard Ze Frank say last year: "People fill up the cracks with intimacy."
This is a great development! The EFF are working on a creating a new certificate authority that will issue certs for free.
I am so happy that the certificate authority racket is getting this shake-up.
A friendly challenge from The Grey Lady for news sites to enable TLS.
Make a commitment to have your site fully on HTTPS by the end of 2015 and pledge your support with the hashtag #https2015.
Netflix are going full 927 on TLS.
Incredibly, you have to manually download and run this patch for Shellshock on OS X: it's not being pushed as a security update.
But the new U2 album? That's being pushed to everyone.
Great news from Cloudflare—https endpoints by default!
This means that if you're planning on switching on TLS for your site, but you're using Cloudflare as a CDN, you've got one less thing to change (and goodness knows you're going to have enough to do already).
I really like their reasoning for doing this, despite the fact that it might mean that they take a financial hit:
Having cutting-edge encryption may not seem important to a small blog, but it is critical to advancing the encrypted-by-default future of the Internet. Every byte, however seemingly mundane, that flows encrypted across the Internet makes it more difficult for those who wish to intercept, throttle, or censor the web. In other words, ensuring your personal blog is available over HTTPS makes it more likely that a human rights organization or social media service or independent journalist will be accessible around the world. Together we can do great things.
Anne is documenting his process of going https:
I'm really glad he's doing this.
Josh walks through the process he took to enabling SSL on his site (with particular attention to securing assets on CloudFront).
How computers work:
One day, a man name Alan Turing found a magic lamp, and rubbed it. Out popped a genie, and Turing wished for infinite wishes. Then we killed him for being gay, but we still have the wishes.
Then we networked computers together:
The network is ultimately not doing a favor for those in power, even if they think they've mastered it for now. It increases their power a bit, it increases the power of individuals immeasurably. We just have to learn to live in the age of networks.
We are all nodes in many networks. This is a beautiful description of how one of those networks operates.
Well, thanks to the ass-hattery of AddThis, the use case of your site's visitors switching off JavaScript for (legitimate) security reasons just became a lot more plausible.
But you're using JavaScript as an enhancement, right? You're not relying on it for core tasks, right?
Did you see Keren at dConstruct 2012? Well, here she is at this year's TED conference delivering a barnstorming talk on hacker culture.
The IETF have decided that network surveillance is damage to be routed around.
Some sensible thoughts from Addy on how Web Components might be peer-reviewed.
A healthy dose of scepticism about Web Components, looking at them through the lenses of accessibility, security, and performance.
I share some of this concern: Web Components might look like handy ready-made out-of-the-box solutions, but the truth is that web developers have to do much more of the hard graft that was traditionally left to the browser.
Henri gives an overview of the DRM-style encryption proposed for HTML. It's a very balanced unbiased description, but if you have the slightest concern about security, sentences like this should give you the heebie-jeebies:
We shouldn't be protecting ourselves. We should be protecting each other.
A description of the shockingly cavalier attitude that Chrome takes with saved passwords:
Today, go up to somebody non-technical. Ask to borrow their computer. Visit chrome://settings/passwords and click "show" on a few of the rows. See what they have to say.
This a great proposal: well-researched and explained, it tackles the tricky subject of balancing security and access to native APIs.
Far too many ideas around installable websites focus on imitating native behaviour in a cargo-cult kind of way, whereas this acknowledges addressability (with URLs) as a killer feature of the web …a beautiful baby that we definitely don't want to throw out with the bathwater.
A history lesson from Vint Cerf. I can't help but picture him as The Architect in The Matrix Reloaded.
When Tim Berners-Lee invented and released the World Wide Web (WWW) design in late 1991, he found an open and receptive internet in operation onto which the WWW could be placed. The WWW design, like the design of the internet, was very open and encouraged a growing cadre of self-taught webmasters to develop content and applications.
A clear explanation of the current state of homomorphic encryption.
I concur completely with Luke's assessment here. Most password-masking on the web is just security theatre. Displaying password inputs by default (but with an option to hide) should be the norm.
Andy sounds a cautionary note: the password anti-pattern may be dying, but OAuth permission-granting shouldn't be blasé. This is why granular permissions are so important.
Possibly the least imaginative concept video ever made, this piece commissioned by Blackberry shows a dystopian near-future ruled by security departments run by people with very, very tired arms.
Dana has put together an excellent grab-bag of data on people's password habits.
This is the stuff James Bond stories are made of. Except in this case, the fortress exists to store data rather than criminal masterminds.
Metallic ink-printed undershirts and underwear. For Americans who wish to assert their rights without saying a word.
Leonard has some handy tips for protecting yourself against Firesheep and its ilk.
Mozilla aims to plug the :visited/getComputedStyle bug/feature.
Another interesting take on assigning a visual clue to password fields.
Here's an interesting idea: generating a sparkline when you input a password ...familiarity with the generated sparkline acts as a visual aid to the user.
And this, boys and girls, is why the password anti-pattern is bad, m'kay?
A thoughtful post from Ben on how the flow of OAuth, OpenID and Facebook Connect can be improved.
Clever or creepy? You decide.
Twitter's promotion of the password anti-pattern bites them on the ass.
This looks like being an excellent—and free—resource "...meant to provide web application developers, browser engineers, and information security researchers with a one-stop reference to key security properties of contemporary web browsers."
"Facebook has rolled out an identity system — Facebook Connect — with a slick UI that trains a gazillion tech-naïve users to slap their identity credentials into any old website."
The slides from Simon's excellent full-length presentation at the head conference. Every web developer needs to be aware of these issues.
I never thought I'd find myself linking to and agreeing with a post on TechC*nt but it's good to see somebody pointing out Facebook's hypocrisy with using the password anti-pattern.
Fullscreen mode for Flash movies could be used to totally freak people out. Here's how.
An excellent article that explodes the ludicrous myth that terrorists like to go around taking pictures of potential targets so therefore photographers are dangerous.
A cautionary tale that explains just why the password anti-pattern needs to die. Coding horror indeed: in this case, 1,777 GMail accounts were compromised.
I must remember to allow plenty of time at the airport when I'm leaving San Francisco.
An excellent piece of research that shows how Facebook affiliates' cross-site scripting (Beacon) sends information back to the mothership regardless of whether the user has opted out.
Leisa joins in on the password anti-pattern. As she says, this is a question of ethics. I've already made my position clear to my colleagues and clients. Have you?

Pattaya travel and nightlife guide - hotels reservation
Thailand's sexiest city is just an hour from Bangkok Airport and was the region's original tourist town. With its sunny beaches, endless activities and comfy hotels, Pattaya attracts punters, package tourists and family weekenders alike. Golfing, amusement parks, lovely offshore islands and, of course, its naughty nightlife are all bundled into one exciting package.
Plan and book your Pattaya travel with this comprehensive 100-page online travel guide.
Top 20 Recommended
What's Happening
Pattaya might seem like a seedy bachelors paradise but it's much more than that, appealing to weekenders from Bangkok and popular with Russian package tourists. Like the rest of Thailand, its hotels offer that famous Thai hospitality with some exceptional beachfront hotels and spas, and some of the best value seaside resorts in the country. Of course you need to be selective; Naklua is good for family hotels and couples, while hotels near Beach Road are best for night owls looking for companions. Over at Jomtien you'll find the Russians, but wherever you stay the food and beverage is great value and always served with a cute smile. Choose from 160 hotel deals we've handpicked for you from Agoda.

Pattaya travel highlights
Pattaya's attractions are equally popular by day or night with quite a few day trips worth making. The lengthy beaches at Pattaya Bay and Jomtien are sunnier, softer and more relaxing than back home, complete with beer vendors and deckchairs. And offshore Koh Larn is perfect for those seeking a tropical paradise. Then there's the amusement parks of Mini Siam, Nong Nooch Gardens, The Waterpark and Tiger Zoo, even the Sanctuary of Truth adds a remarkable touch of culture. But many find the nightlife the real highlight, centred around the go go bars and discos of Walking Street or the quieter beers bars in lanes off Beach Road. And let's not forget the lovely ladies, which is what draws many to Pattaya!

Can anyone help me with this sound to light project?
I play with a carnival drumming band and the dark nights are coming. We sometimes parade with battery powered fairy lights but I would like to take it up a notch.
The power supply would need to be small. 3 X AA cells would last all night and they are cheap light and disposable. I envisage a small mic or a piezo running into an op-amp which drives a big transistor or a relay. I would want to run quite a lot of lights from it but I guess I could wire in some LED strings in parallel. I understand the concept of what I am doing but don't have enough knowledge to design a circuit. |

Google "color organ." That should give you plenty of material. One of the articles is from Jameco, a parts house. They have a lot of basic projects for beginners.
A color organ is just a light controller that reacts to music. SOme have more than one frequency band, so one set of lights responds to base, another to mids and another to highs. But you can also just make one circuit that responds to the whole band. If you are marching, you may find a better effect if yopu limit the frequencies it responds to. For example it blinks to the bass drum instead of trying to follow the flutes. |

I have to say microwave. See we were without electricity for several weeks at a time due to hurricanes so we did without them all. We found a way to keep living without power. We cooked thawed meats and dinners on a camp stove and grill. Used ice chests (Dh brought ice home free from.work) to keep fridge stuff cold. And washed dishes by hand. The microwave is the only appliance that i can't substitute that i use daily.

We refer to the reflection about the main diagonal of the square as Mm, the main diagonal mirror, and to reflection about the line joining midpoints of adjacent sides as Me, the eccentric mirror. As usual, L is used for the related glide reflections, whose meanings we hope are clear from context. R4 will indicate rotation of a quarter turn about the origin. Some of these are indicated in the diagram.
The square lattice cell |
There is a bewildering variety of relationships among these isometries, but we list only a few useful ones: d Me = Mm, Mm M = h2 R4.
Every type for which the square lattice is needed has R4 as either a positive or negating symmetry. Therefore every pattern has a positive half-turn and we may start with terms of the kind listed for the rectangular cell types with half-turns . Because we require combinations of these terms, let us adopt shorthand notation as follows:
C+(n,m) = cos(nX) cos(mY) + cos(mX) cos(nY)
C-(n,m) = cos(nX) cos(mY) - cos(mX) cos(nY)
S+(n,m) = sin(nX) sin(mY) - sin(mX) sin(nY)
S-(n,m) = sin(nX) sin(mY) + sin(mX) sin(nY)
The terms with superscript + are invariant under R4, while the others negate when R4 is applied.

Twitter Will Put Retweets Back In Search Results
There's been some commotion from bloggers and Twitter users who noticed this week that retweets had suddenly disappeared from Twitter search results. But Twitter says this isn't part of a "war" on traditional retweets, and things will soon revert back to normal.
The issue is that retweets weren't showing up in search results for logged-in users, but they were showing up on searches done at search.twitter.com. Here's an example from Wednesday afternoon when Andrew Shotland retweeted me.
Andrew's retweet appeared in search results from search.twitter.com (above), but was nowhere to be found when I searched from my account home page (below).
A Twitter spokesperson tells us this experiment was aimed at removing duplicate content from search results, but it didn't work.
We've been experimenting with ways to identify duplicate content, and recently implemented an approach that identifies retweets as duplicates. This only applied for logged-in searches on www.twitter.com, not to searches on search.twitter.com, search APIs, or the logged-out homepage. However, this change has not had a positive impact on the user experience so we plan to revert it.
Twitter says it will look for "more intelligent" ways to remove explicitly duplicate content from its search results.

Owners of the controversial GuZoo Animal Farm say two of their wolves were deliberately poisoned and they're blaming anti-zoo activists.
Two timberwolves, Zookey and Cheyenne, were found dead in their enclosure Tuesday morning.
The pair are the parents of five new wolf pups.
An autopsy performed by GuZoo's veterinarian suggests one wolf was poisoned with cyanide. The second wolf will be examined by an independent vet in Calgary.
Animal rights groups have documented years of unsanitary conditions at GuZoo, including dirty drinking water.
The zoo is currently operating without a permit until a judicial review decides whether to shut it down.

After years of pondering, finally came up with a theme thats enthusiastically right for us. Boys J, Girls 4 letters.
What would you think if you cam across this family theme?
Jason & Wren
Jasper, Judah, Jonas, Jett
Tess, Kaia, Lark, Esme
Printable View
O_O Exactly the same name then. Lol! Why did you add a 'w' to it? I did think about it because my surname starts with 'w' but ultimately I just stuck with Ren as the three letters were already there.
Haha! I thought about Ren, but Wren seemed to fit me better :)
Mine has been a recent change, and its been a relatively smooth transition. Im still Karen to those who have known me for years, and for legal purposes. But I consider myself Wren, use it for everything and alot of people use it too. Karen seems so strange now. Lol

text: As for the single-worthy highlights of the album, "TV" and "Hi-Ya!" both deploy urgency by keeping it short and sweet, while "Put Us Back Together" and " Lullabies" are longer, more textured and lyrically stronger than much of the bunch. Sure, there were a few songs that didn't hold my attention as much as others, but that's to be expected of a debut. What wasn't expected was the number of times I had to keep pinching myself. On nearly every song there was a moment when I felt like I was listening to Canadian Broken Social Scene-associated orchestra pop band Stars, especially on the ones with guitarist Tristan Wraight jumping on the mike, "Pity City" and "Signs Point to Yes (But Outlook Not So Good)." But despite that glaring similarity, Kill Them With Kindness is a worthy debut from this promising pop Midwest band.

Fair Grinds Coffeehouse Restaurant Review: In keeping with the charming surrounding neighborhood, the painted bead-board building with belt ceiling fans creates a colorful space for this coffeehouse. Patrons include retirees headed to the nearby Fair Grounds Racecourse while others work away on laptops. Outdoor seating, saucer-size cookies, free wireless Internet access, a lending library, and milk kept hot in communal dispensers converge in what is perhaps the city's most user-friendly café. The name Fair Grinds is both a pun based on the café's proximity to the Fair Grounds and a reference to the locally roasted fair trade coffees brewed there. For a small establishment, this place offers some standout cakes, including a "wedding cake" and a tempting tall chocolate layer cake. Vegan-friendly dishes provide options for lunch or a light dinner. |

New device could help make prosthetic legs less painful
Prosthetic legs could become less painful thanks to new research paving the way for sockets that better accommodate swelling in amputees' limbs.
Researchers at the University of Washington in the US have created a device to monitor how prostheses users' limbs swell and shrink throughout the day, which they hope will enable them to predict how and when swelling will take place.
This data could lead to the design of more robust and flexible sockets, potentially even guiding technology such as vacuum-suction systems that can be used to adjust the fit of prosthetic legs and keep users' own limbs snug inside them.
'This provides us a window into what's happening,' said principal investigator Joan Sanders, a UW professor of bioengineering. 'Each person has his or her own characteristics and qualities that affect how limb volume changes. You really have to look at each person on a case-by-case basis.'
Soft tissues in a prosthesis socket swell and shrink often during the day due to fluid volume changes caused by physical activity (or lack thereof) and salty foods.
Source: University of Washington
These changes can cause pain to amputees wearing prostheses with fixed sockets and they may have to manually adjust the fit of the limb by adding or removing fabric socks or remove it altogether.
The Washington system is worn around the waist and calculates the percentage increase or decrease of fluid volume in a patient's limb using data from small electrodes placed in different spots on the leg.
The engineers spent the last two years testing a large prototype on about 60 patients in their Seattle lab but have now developed a more portable version.
Trial patients are asked to go through a routine that includes sitting, standing and walking, and data is transmitted wirelessly to a tablet computer that displays the changes in limb size about 15 times a second.
Source: University of Washington
The researchers hope clinics could go through a similar routine to help track an individual's swelling and shrinking patterns.
They plan to build a smaller device that patients could wear for several weeks to monitor changes in their limb size as they go about their daily routines.

How about a socket that the user can just adjust whenever they feel it needs adjusting? Not as sexy as something that does it for you, but definitely more robust.
http://revolimb.com/Osseointegration of an endo-exo prosthetic would eliminate a cup. In researching this technology for inclusion into my novel, The Carbon Trap, I've spoken with one of the surgeons and reviewed the videos and documentation. It seems like a more permanent solution to amputation.

I am a below knee amputee & suffer with rheumatoid arthritis, my socket varies so much day to day. My quads are wasting & I'm desperate for help to support my quad & knee wearing leg. My prosthetist is struggling to make something thin enough ,with a very narrow hinge at knee supporting stills up to thigh brace. Any ideas ?

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Acuo Technologies, a market leading provider of comprehensive software solutions to the medical imaging industry for archiving, collaboration and migration services, is pleased to announce a fully integrated Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging (XDS-I) solution
One of the most important trends in healthcare today is the need to share clinical content. Healthcare IT solutions today must further demonstrate agility in dealing with a massive amount of clinical content (growing exponentially), integration of that content across the enterprise and beyond. Healthcare enterprises are demanding standard based solutions for managing and sharing content while increasing the availability of the data and removing downstream migration requirements.
Current healthcare IT solutions typically continue to offer non standard approaches to managing clinical content. Clinical content is often locked up inside proprietary databases, storage systems, or other vendor technology requiring costly point-to-point interfaces to be created each time content needs to be shared or aggregated across the enterprise or outside of the enterprise (such as in a RHIO). Further, medical imaging has the same challenges but also a protocol (DICOM) which is difficult to extend across institutional boundaries.
Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS) -- enables a number of healthcare delivery organizations belonging to a clinical affinity domain (e.g. a community of care) to cooperate in the care of a patient by sharing clinical records in the form of documents and images as they proceed with their patients' care delivery activities.
End to End Cross Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS/XDS-I) -- IHE's IT
Infrastructure Technical Framework offers the XDS integration profile,
including XDS-I for medical imaging, which provides solutions to the
problems of sharing clinical content across multiple applications and

There are so many questions you'll be asked once you go vegan - most of them ridiculous. Apparently, going vegan means you're instantly more likely to end up on a desert island and be faced with having to kill and eat something to survive. And yes - I would kick to death a Shetland pony if it was threatening me and my family and I'd exhausted all other options of compromise.
Is quiche not the perfect, universal crowd pleaser? It seems whenever I make it for a gathering it's Hoovered up way before everything else. I think it satisfies the angel and devil in all of us. Egg rich protein guaranteed to fill us up until the next available meal slot, combined with decadent cheese and cream.
I'm all for being a veggie, and am almost there myself, apart from the odd bit of wild pheasant or something. Something that has a happy life and a quick end. But I would kill a suffering animal in a heartbeat, and in fact have had old or physically suffering dogs put down , and have even killed a half alive squirrel recently.
Fats in meat and eggs are best for dissolving fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K which are used for keeping skin firm and preventing wrinkles, maintaining eyesight, sunlight tolerance good, lubricating joints and control blood clotting systems. Vegetarians are often deficient in the fat-soluble vitamins I have listed above. Conclusion, humans are meant to be omnivorous.
"My boyfriend bought me a vegetarian cookbook for Christmas...even though I'm not one," she laughed. Our eyes met and we smiled. Funny, but if a man I was hopeful about gave me a vegetarian cookbook for Christmas, knowing that I'm not one, I think I would run faster than you could say "Jack Rabbit".
The recent laboratory development of an in-vitro beef burger created from stem cells is causing quite a buzz amongst consumers. Most people's first reaction is one of disgust and trepidation. And then the many questions: how can I eat meat that was grown in a lab made possible only by human engineering?
On 5 August, a select group of scientists, members of the media and gastronomes will be invited to try their first taste of in vitro meat at a ceremony in London... It may surprise readers to learn that, among the funders of in vitro meat development in various countries - although not of this particular project - is Peta.
Growing up in Liverpool, I would have thought of a vegetarian as a wimp... I've been a vegetarian for a long time now and over the years I've seen how the attitudes have changed around the world, so I'm not surprised when I see new research that shows more and more people are increasingly adopting 'meat free eating'. Even 20 years ago, it could sometimes be difficult to find vegetarian options in good restaurants. Now it's great to see more and more choice with some brilliant creative dishes in restaurants, cafés and supermarkets.
Johnny Rogan's 1992 biography of The Smiths' leading duo and subsequent fall out is a big seller and the definitive take on one of the 80's best loved and most missed bands, at least until Johnny Marr and/or Morrissey release definitive autobiographies. It also has the potential to make a great biopic.

Better than Drugs
I have a stubborn cough. I bought Bryonia Alba by Hylands and used it. As soon as I took it that night I was able to sleep and I didn't cough any more, and I will always have it on hand, especially on this kind of weather, where you can easily get sick.
It works fast.

It took me a while to find the last word for that 'headline'. The word 'disaster' seems histrionic, but only in a larger context of tragic world events. In terms of American orchestras, and the larger culture of orchestral music, it is, indeed, a disaster.
There is no shortage of editorial fallout from the events over the last year, especially since Maestro Osmo Vanska announced his resignation from Minnesota Orchestra early Tuesday morning.
One such article surfaced overnight Wednesday, from Ivan Hewett, a writer for The Telegraph. The title alone, "US orchestras are greedy and overpaid", is incendiary.
Now let me tell you why, even if Ivan Hewett is right, he is wrong.
A quote from Hewett: "none of the commentary in the US points to a single overwhelming fact that to an outsider appears blinding obvious: the top tier of American orchestras overpays its players."
It does not matter if it's true. It just doesn't. We've created a culture in America where musicians have the potential to be rewarded well for their tens of thousands of hours in a practice room. And at that, it's a small, hand-picked number of musicians who are rewarded as such, in a small number of orchestras in the country.
These players are the best of the best. And all most of us want is to be paid, or compensated, for our skills and talents. Yet we never miss a chance to freak out whenever someone gets paid a lot of money.
There are plenty of job fields where people are rewarded more for less. Executives and managers all around the world are grossly overpaid, probably in your own place of work. And what, exactly, does the public receive from their over-compensation? Not much. Yet, when I hear the Minnesota Orchestra, I'm treated to aural magic.
I used to be, anyway.
Similarly, there are just as many occupations in which people are paid far too little for doing so much, like nursing, teaching or social work. Even veterinarians earn far less than human doctors. And vets save a whole lotta lives, too.
It defeats the purpose to point fingers and say, "You make too much," which roughly translates to "You do not deserve this."
Can we stop quibbling about how much these folks make, or used to make, or might potentially make? The fact remains that this is the orchestral culture of America. Just because it's different in the UK doesn't mean it's wrong. It just is.

Nutritional Information
1. Remove and discard leg truss from turkey. Pull off and discard any lumps of fat. Remove giblets and neck; save for Savory Gravy. Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry.
2. If stuffing the turkey: Just before roasting, place turkey on work surface breast side down; lightly fill neck cavity with dressing. Bring neck skin up to cover opening. With a metal skewer, fasten neck skin to back, threading skewer in and out several times through neck and back skin. Turn turkey over and loosely pack body cavity with dressing. If turkey has tail attached, tuck tail into cavity. If there's enough skin to overlap at opening, thread a metal skewer in and out several times to close. Lightly tie ends of drumsticks loosely together with cotton string to keep them from spreading apart or leave untied to allow heat to reach thigh joints more easily. Place any leftover dressing in a baking dish. When turkey is about 30 minutes from being done, bake extra dressing, covered, in a 325° or 350° oven until hot (at least 150° in center), about 40 minutes for 8 cups.
3. Rub turkey all over with oil. Rub spice mixture evenly over skin and inside neck and body cavities.
4. Place turkey, breast up, on a V-shaped rack in a 12- by 17-inch roasting pan.
5. Roast in a 325° regular or convection oven until a thermometer inserted through thickest part of breast to bone registers 160°, 2 to 3 hours.
6. Transfer cooked turkey to a platter. If bird was stuffed, insert a thermometer into the center of the dressing. It should read at least 160° to be bacteria safe. Do not allow stuffing to sit in bird. Cut string from legs. Remove skewer closing body cavity. Scoop dressing out into a bowl. Cut through skin at neck cavity, scoop out dressing and add to bowl. If temperature was below 160°, heat dressing in a microwave oven at full power (100%), mixing often to distribute heat evenly until it is 160° throughout. Cover and keep dressing warm. Keep turkey warm and let stand 15 to 30 minutes.
7. Carve turkey. If thighs are still slightly pink at the joint, put thighs on a microwave-safe plate in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until pink disappears, 1 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Chinese Five-Spice Rub: In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon crushed anise or fennel seed, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. (Or use 2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice blend.) Makes about 2 tablespoons.
Jamaican Jerk Rub: In a small bowl, mix 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger; 1 teaspoon each ground allspice, dried thyme, cayenne, and pepper; and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. (Or use 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk blend.) Makes about 2 tablespoons.
Provençal Rub: In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons each crushed dried rosemary and dried thyme and 1 teaspoon each dried rubbed sage and dried lavender (or more sage). (Or use 2 tablespoons provençal herb blend.) Makes about 2 tablespoons.
Red Curry Rub: In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons chili powder; 1 teaspoon each ground coriander, ground ginger, and cayenne; 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin; and 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric. (Or use 2 tablespoons red curry powder.) Makes about 2 tablespoons.
Southwest Chili Rub: In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon ground ancho or California chili and 1 teaspoon each ground cumin, ground chipotle chili or cayenne, and dried oregano. (Or use chili powder or a Southwest chili blend.) Makes about 2 tablespoons.
Nutritional analysis per 1/4 pound boned cooked turkey with skin, based on percentages of white and dark meat in an average bird; nutritional analysis does not include gravy or dressing

Obligee Related Legal Questions
An obligee is someone to whom an obligation has been made based on a legal agreement or contract. For example, the parent who receives
child support
from the other parent becomes the obligee and the parent paying child support is the
. Listed below are a few questions answered by Experts on obligee-related questions.
Once the obligee gets married, does child support get terminated?
Child support is given to take care of the child's needs. It does not terminate once the
custodial parent
gets married. At re-marriage,
spousal support
can stop but not child support.
My two boys will get Social Security (SS) benefits direct from SS starting in June. I am the obligee and I informed Child Support Enforcement (CSE) about this change. But I am still getting paid through the clearing house. I'd like to know if I will be entitled to both child support and SS.
Child support is separate from Social Security. Legally, you should be paid child support based on the court orders and also receive monthly SS payments.
I am based in California and want to know how to prove cohabitation in order to reduce spousal support.
In a case like this, what you would need to do is show that the obligee is now "cohabiting with a person of the opposite sex". However, the
must prove that this is more than a simple roommate relationship or "boarding arrangement". The relationship should be of a romantic, sexual, or at least "homemaker-companion" nature.
If you have any evidence to prove this, you can use it in court. This would include texts, e-mails, phone conversations, or testimony by eyewitness.
You could also check if both of their mail is being delivered to the same address. Besides this, talking to neighbors, friends, and relatives could help in establishing the real nature of the relationship. Video footage of the two people in question spending the night together, kissing at home or in public, or even holding hands could also prove helpful in establishing cohabitation.
As an obligee, can I file a lien on real estate which is the obligor's primary residence, for child support arrears that amount to more than $14,000?
What you could do is create a lien on the primary residence by recording the judgment in the public records. However the lien cannot be foreclosed if it is homestead.
There are many kinds of obligees and different laws that pertain to each of them. To get information on any legal question you may have about an oblige, all you have to do is direct your questions to Experts.

Canola oil, along with low- glycemic-load (low-GL) food (legumes, temperature-climate fruit, and barley), help lower blood sugar levels in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes, reveals a study published in the journal Diabetes Care. The type 2 diabetes can cause blindness, kidney failure and even cardiovascular complications.
According to a recent study by researchers at the Department of Nutritional Sciences in the Department of Medicine at U of T, canola oil, combined with low-GL foods (legumes, temperature-climate fruit, and barley) help lower blood sugar in type 2 diabetic patients, especially those who have high blood sugar. The study, headed by Dr. David Jenkins compared the effects of a canola oil-enriched low-GL diet to a diet rich in whole grains. The purpose was to see how a diet rich in canola oil and low-GL can help people suffering from type 2 diabetes. "We thought using canola oil might be a good way to hit the heart disease and the high glucose problem," said Jenkins.
As part of the research, 141 participants with type 2 diabetes were studied over a period of three months. The participants, who were already on blood sugar-lowering drugs, were divided into two groups. While one was asked to consume test diet, a diet rich in canola oil and low-GL foods, the other group had a control diet, rich in whole-wheat products such as cereals, whole-wheat bread and brown rice.
The test diet participants had to consume 500 kilocalories worth of canola oil-enriched bread every day, whereas the group on the control diet had to eat 500 kilocalories of whole wheat bread without canola oil. In order to understand the cardiovascular risk, levels of glycated hemoglobin - mostly hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a measure of blood sugar, were taken before, during, and after the dietary intervention.
Though detailed tests showed marked improvement in both groups, it was found that the test group, that consumed canola oil and low-GL foods showed 0.47 per cent reduction in HbA1c whereas participants in the control group showed a 0.31 per cent reduction in levels of HbA1c. Noticing the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol seen in the patients, the researchers concluded that canola oil consumption can decrease the likelihood of cardiovascular events by seven per cent.
Moreover, it was also found that the participants in the test groups, who had high blood pressure, and were at a higher risk for complications arising from diabetes, showed high level of reduction in HbA1c ( 0.62 per cent) in comparison to the control diet group (0.21 per cent) . However, it was found that the control diet improved blood flow, indicating an improvement in cardiovascular health.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Never mind that he lost.
Tea party Sen. Ted Cruz took nothing short of a victory lap in his state of Texas this week, appearing before wildly supportive crowds that overlooked the fact that the Republican who led the charge to kill money for President Barack Obama's health care law had failed.
Now he's coming to Iowa, where Republicans who will have the first say in the next presidential race are certain to view him more skeptically than GOP loyalists do back home.
In Iowa and across the nation, the GOP is in the midst of an internal war pitting tea partyers like Cruz who argue for ideological purity against more mainstream Republicans advocating a more pragmatic, inclusive party approach to governing.
The two sides will be on display Friday night when Cruz — an untraditional Republican who hasn't ruled out running for president — gives the keynote address at a very traditional gathering: the Iowa Republican Party's annual fall fundraiser.
In Iowa, a state where people are as well-known for their politeness as conservatives are for their convictions, Cruz is likely to be warmly received. But that will belie the sharp divisions among Republicans in the state.
Cruz went to the Senate on a wave of tea party passion in 2012. But if he runs for president, it's Iowa, known for its thorough examination of the candidates where he'll be judged first.
And Gov. Terry Branstad, scheduled to speak right before Cruz, has displayed little patience for Congress over the past month, especially the drama surrounding the partial government shutdown in which Cruz played a starring role.
"It's counterproductive, and Americans are fed up with it," Branstad said of political gamesmanship in Congress in a recent Associated Press interview.
Branstad and his allies in Iowa's GOP business establishment are trying to reclaim power in the state party from tea partyers, libertarians and social conservatives. It's a scene beginning to play out across the country, with veteran GOP luminaries now openly fearing that tea party stars like Cruz are costing Republicans the new voters they need to win again nationally.
Cruz certainly disputes that he's merely a crusader, arguing often that he's sticking to his principles of small government and less spending, when it's GOP leadership in Congress that's betraying them by compromising.
The 42-year-old former Texas solicitor general was elected to the Senate last year. He stunned the Republican establishment in Texas by beating Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in the 2012 Republican runoff, en route to becoming Texas' first Hispanic senator.
Already an underdog winner, Cruz wasted little time seizing on it, and the tea-party faithful who propelled him.
He spoke for 21 hours last month on the Senate floor to urge colleagues to vote against allowing money for the 2010 Affordable Care Act. The performance was the talk of Washington and boosted C-SPAN ratings, but did little else.
Cruz also helped precipitate the 16-day partial federal shutdown with his demand that President Barack Obama gut his 3-year-old health care law. He also successfully urged a core of House Republicans to follow suit.
"Throughout this entire battle, the response that I've received from Texans has been overwhelming," he told reporters in Fort Worth, Texas, this week.
He's also turned heads in Iowa, though the early reviews are mixed, even within the strict conservative audience he would naturally court as a candidate for the 2016 caucuses.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL - March 26, 2012 - Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Features: Grupo Galicia ( GGAL ), Seagate Technology ( STX ) and Gulfport Energy ( GPOR ).
3 Stocks with Magic PEG Ratios
Value investors have long looked to the price-to-earnings ratio as a means to finding value stocks. However, Benjamin Graham, long considered to be the "father" of value investing, found that a low price-to-earnings ratio wasn't enough to unearth the true undervalued companies.
Graham combined the low price-to-earnings ratios with the power of growth by using the PEG ratio. The PEG ratio is calculated by taking the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and dividing it by the growth rate.
Normally, a stock with a PEG ratio under 1.0 is considered a "value". However, despite the stock rally in 2012, there are quite a few stocks that are trading with PEG ratios far, far lower than 1.0.
Screening for PEG
I created a screen for PEG ratios under 0.25, which would be an extremely low PEG ratio, on Zacks free Custom Screener.
Just this one criteria gave me 44 stocks. That's not too shabby.
But all 44 companies are not necessarily good value stocks. I eliminated companies that had a Zacks rank of 4 or 5 and then considered other fundamentals such as earnings surprises, return on equity and earnings history.
3 Stocks with Low PEG Ratios and Solid Value Fundamentals
The following 3 companies stood out because they had both stellar value fundamentals, including a low PEG ratio, and a solid business story, including earnings growth.
1. Grupo Galicia
2. Seagate
3. Gulfport Energy
1. Grupo Galicia ( GGAL )
Banks have been out of favor. Grupo Galicia is the holding company for Banco Galicia, one of Argentina's oldest banks. It provides financial services to corporations and individuals throughout Argentina. It also is a big supplier of credit cards.
Grupo Galicia has a high return on equity (ROE) of 36%, which is an important fundamental for a bank. Its peers average just 24.5%.
Additionally, shareholders get a small dividend, yielding 0.3%. Grupo Galicia is a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold).
2. Seagate Technology ( STX )
Seagate manufactures hard disc drives worldwide. There have been concerns about the hard drive industry since the floods in Thailand last year hit global production. Seagate is super cheap with a forward P/E of just 4.3.
Seagate is expected to have record fiscal 2012 and 2013 results. It is a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy).
3. Gulfport Energy ( GPOR )
Gulfport Energy is an oil and natural gas explorer and producer with operations along the Louisiana Gulf Coast, in the Permian Basin and Utica Shale. The company also has an interest in the Alberta Oil Sands. The energy stocks have been overlooked by investors over the past few months. Gulfport has a forward P/E of just 11.8.
Gulfport is a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold) stock.
Low PEG Ratios Are the Beginning Not the End
Seeking a low PEG ratio is a good way to begin a search for value stocks but it's not the only indicator. As outlined here, start with the PEG ratio and also screen for other fundamentals. Combined with other value indicators, the PEG ratio can be a powerful tool for value investors.

For the Lexus IS competition and I hope you like it. I decided with this one to keep the stylings very similar to the standard sports model but designed new alloy wheels, updated the front, rear and side skirts. All drawn in Photoshop and any references used belong to me.
Please check out more of my work
Please check out more of my work
Thank you for your support and I hope my work is appreciated. I really wanted to keep the luxury stylings of the Lexus and give it a more strikingly aggressive look, without going into the street racer look. To me Lexus is not about that and wanted to maintain that refined look.
Damn. Very nicely done! It looks so professional!
I had a 2011 IS250 for a while but then I moved so we got a different car where the new house was lol (the now discontinued HS250), I'd definitely love to get a chance to drive one of the newest IS's though.
Not really my thing cars, but for a first try it was fun. My Riddick artwork is about ready to go so watch out for that... and thank you
Thanks again, I have 2 more entries to add and each goes a little further with the design. These have been fun.
