Randall Philen
At 4:35 a.m. on December 11, 2009, 50-year-old Randall Philen called police to report that armed men had burst into his Brownwood, Texas, home, demanding drugs and money. He said the men tied him up and then fatally shot his 49-year-old brother, Ronald.
Randall Philen said he was asleep in bed when he was awakened by a loud crash. He went into the kitchen, where he encountered several masked men who forced him to the floor at gunpoint. He said he was clubbed with a shotgun and tied up and that he heard some of the men go into his brother's bedroom where they beat and shot him, demanding marijuana and cash, and then fled.
Ronald's body was found next to his bed. He had been shot five times in the chest. A 22-caliber bullet casing was found on the floor. Randall said that after the men fled, he freed himself and called police.
Randall was taken into custody because police found marijuana in the home and Randall admitted that he and his brother sold marijuana from their home. Later that day, police became suspicious of Randall's account of the crime because they said that splinters from the door to Ronald's bedroom were found on top of drops of blood, suggesting the door was broken after Ronald was shot.
Police also believed that Ronald had been dead for several hours by the time Randall called for help. They arrested him the afternoon of December 11 and charged him with murder and possession of marijuana.
Randall rejected an offer to plead guilty and went on trial before a jury in Brown County District Court in November 2011. Family members testified that the brothers had a volatile relationship and that they had urged Ronald to move out before something bad happened. Investigators on the case said the evidence—particularly the door splinters lying on top of blood—showed that the crime scene had been staged to look like a home invasion.
A paramedic who was summoned to the scene testified that Ronald appeared to have been dead for several hours when she arrived.
The jury convicted Randall of capital murder on November 22, 2011 and he elected to be sentenced by the judge instead of the jury. The judge sentenced Randall to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 30 years.
On January 9, 2012, a confidential informant went to police and said that Randall was innocent, naming four men who broke into the home to rob Ronald of drugs and money.
Police located one of the men, 21-year-old Alex "Lucky" Gil Jr., and asked him to come to the station. Hours later, police said that Gil had confessed to taking part in the crime. A fingerprint found at the crime scene matched Gil.
On January 10, Randall's murder and marijuana convictions were vacated at the request of Brown County District Attorney Michael Murray. Randall was released from prison on January 11, 2012.
As the investigation progressed, police arrested three other men—Efrain Castillo, 21; Pedro Rocha, Jr., 21; and Matthew Navarro, 22. All four were charged with murder.
On April 23, 2012, the murder charge against Randall was dismissed. The marijuana charge remained pending a retrial.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Aceldama
ACELDAMA (according to Acts i. 19, "the field of blood"), the name given to the field purchased by Judas Iscariot with the money he received for the betrayal of Jesus Christ. A different version is given in Matthew xxvii. 8, where Judas is said to have cast down the money in the Temple, and the priests who had paid it to have recovered the pieces, with which they bought " the potter's field, to bury strangers in. " The MS. evidence is greatly in favour of a form Aceldamach. This would seem to mean "the field of thy blood," which is unsuitable. Since, however, we find elsewhere one name appearing as both Sirach and Sira (ch = aleph), Aceldamach may be another form of an original Aceldama (aleph kamatz mem shvah daleth lamedh tzareh qoph patach heth), the " field of blood. " A. Klostermann, however, takes the ch to be part of the Aramaic root demach, "to sleep,"; the word would then mean "field of sleep" or cemetery (Probleme im Aposteltexte, 1-8, 1883), an explanation which fits in well with the account in Matthew xxvii. The traditional site (now Hak el-Dum), S. of Jerusalem on the N.E. slope of the "Hill of Evil Counsel" (Jebel Deir Abu Tor), was used as a burial place for Christian pilgrims from the 6th century A.D. till as late, apparently, as 1697, and especially in the time of the Crusades. Near it there is a very ancient charnelhouse, partly rock-cut, partly of masonry, said to be the work of Crusaders.

I'm going to try real hard to let what he say's to just go in one ear and out the other with out letting it affect me so much. I get alone great with my manager and the other assistance manager. I also get alone with everyone else at work. It going to take a lot of work on my part, however learning how to let other people not affect my attitude has been a goal of mine for a very lone time. So i'm manking this my place to vent.

Piss and stress again. Do anyone feel like people think they are stupied? I know I'm not the most inteligence person in the world, but I'm far from stupied. I email two people I work with. I sent them both the email at the same, so I ask are yall off on the 22. If there is a more inteligence person on here does that mean I want to know if the two of them or off, or does it mean I want to know if the whole company is off?

It sound like you wanted to know if the two people where off on the 22nd. Stress at work sucks it is hard to be happy when you feel stressed at work. I know because that is where i am at in my job. What helped me tonight after getting off at work was coming home and seeing your name isthereanend I love it that is how I am feeling right now. Thanks for that great name.

Thanks that what I though I was asking. They repley I'm on vacation but we open for bussiness. I was like no fucking shit I've been with the company 30 years I know we are not close. I was asking then that because I no longer work in the office with them. I wanted to know if they was working so we could hook up and go to lunch for Christmas. I email them that and ask them why they think I'm so fucking stupied. They also have this guy manager that I used to work with that loves to say I let people put ideas in my head. That pisses me off because to me that is like he thinks I can not think for myself, which is totally not me. They know I'm stubbon and they can tell me what every they want but I'm going to make up my own mind and do what I want. I step down from my office job in August and now work in a store with the same company. There is this guy there that always pick on me. I'm so sick of it and need a place to vent. Maybe we can stay in touch and just vent about work. I would love that. My job is not stressful, but all the bullshit people say and do stresses me out.
I'm glad you like my name. At the time that how I felt. I decied I did not like it and wanted to change it but you can not do it on this site. |

Stress and work, heh, two words I'd been used to for several years now. I work for a online store for 4 1/2 yrs as a manager in IT. I definitely have moments when I think are outright stupid and when I felt like going off on someone.
Actually, I did once at a graphic designer, scared the crap out of him and almost got sent home for the day by the general manager. My simple advice, when you're in a bad mood, walk it off for a few minutes, it ain't much, but it helps. |

This week was a good one. The guy that cause me so much stress was on vacation. Monday my boss is suppose to talk to him once again, well we see how that goes. To tell you the truth I'm kindda of scare. So when Monday comes I will go to work with my walls up to protect myself. I just which I could get to a place that I can forget I have the walls up. One day someone told me I have to take my four walls down. I said four, I have six you forgot to count the top and the bottom |

Well, that market bounce was fun while it lasted. Stocks are now noticeably lower after spending the early trading hours little changed, while commodities are getting shellacked.
The Dow is now down more than 75 points, having fallen off the table a little bit before 11:00. It's taking it the worst of the major indexes. The S&P is down about 0.5%, and the Nasdaq is only off about 0.2%.
Commodities, though, have it rough. Crude oil is now down about 1.6%, back below $100 a barrel. Gold is down $20 an ounce, or 1.3%, to $1523. Silver is taking it on the chin, down more than 5%. And copper is off 1.6%.
The energy sector and consumer staples are the biggest losers in the S&P, each down about 1.1%.

A Vermont man has been arrested after police say he tried to retrieve a package containing a pound of marijuana that had been delivered to a wrong address.
Police say a woman in Essex Town received a suspicious package delivered by UPS on Wednesday. Authorities say she didn't recognize the return address and when she opened it she realized it was most likely contraband.
She brought the package to police who determined that it contained 1 pound of marijuana.
While police were trying to find the suspect, who had a similar name as the woman's, police say he called the residence and said he was on his way to pick up his package.
Twenty-nine-year-old John Monica of Burlington was arrested and jailed on possession of marijuana and an outstanding warrant.

Bovens, Luc (2010) Nudges and cultural variance: a note on Selinger and Whyte. Knowledge, Technology and Policy, 23 (3-4). pp. 483-486. ISSN 0897-1986
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Selinger and Whyte argue that Thaler and Sunstein are insufficiently sensitive to cultural variance in Nudge. I construct a taxonomy of the various roles that cultural variance may play in nudges. First, biases that are exploited in nudging may interact with features that are culturally specific. Second, cultures may be more or less susceptible to certain biases. Third, cultures may resolve conflicting biases in different ways. And finally, nudge may be enlisted for different aims in different cultures.

Re: Boo Birds?
Meh. I guess this is what it's like to have a completely dominating team.
We get the AFC South Blogger making a big deal of it, and we get fans on here arguing about it. Nice problems to have, I'd say.
I wasn't happy with the play calling there, and I never am in that situation, because we end up giving the other team the ball with a short field. We take a stop that our defense gave us, and we make our guys go right back onto the field and expect them to do it again or something, I suppose.
That sucks for Wade and his guys. To make a stop, and then to have Gary go turtle because he's scared of turning the ball over near our own EZ.
I guess the defense needs to just let a few scores go, make Gary have to play catch-up the rest of the game. I bet there wouldn't be the predictable go-turtle formation and play calling if we get pinned deep. Right?
Boo'ing is what it is, and people need to quit acting holier-than-thou about it. It's just a noise. BFD.

Bus shortage plagues northern region transport system[TamilNet, Sunday, 26 February 2006, 13:54 GMT]Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) has sent only five buses to Northern Region Transport Board (NRTB) instead of fifty as promised. The SLTB made an order with a foreign firm to import two thousand buses to be distributed among various depots in the island. Only three hundred out of 2000 buses have arrived in Colombo, sources said.. Jaffna SLTB depot needs one hundred fifty buses to bring the bus service in peninsula to normalcy after two-decade-old war and 2004 tsunami disaster, sources said Under NRTB administration five sub depots, Jaffna, Karainagar, Point Pedro, Mannar and Vavuniya are functioning. NRTB sources said that it would distribute the five buses one to each of the sub-depots. Majority of the buses, which are put in service in the northern region, are more than 15 to 30 years old. Eleven buses, which have been condemned beyond repair, are currently lying in the Jaffna main depot, sources said. |

Brown tide's return reinforces fears the algae that first bloomed here last year might become a permanent and deadly fixture in an already ailing Indian River Lagoon.
This time, the algae - Aureoumbra lagunensis - bloomed earlier and in the same stretches of the northern lagoon and southern Mosquito Lagoon.
The algae is so small that it would take 200 of its cells to stretch across the period at the end of this sentence. ...

Is there a way to check whether I should install the VC9 one or the VC6 one programatically?
Here : http://windows.php.net/download/ Is there a way to check whether I should install the VC9 one or the VC6 one programatically? |
It states on the left pane of the page you posted: Which version do I choose? If you are using PHP with Apache 1 or Apache2 from apache.org you need to use the VC6 versions of PHP If you are using PHP with IIS you should use the VC9 versions of PHP VC6 Versions are compiled with the legacy Visual Studio 6 compiler VC9 Versions are compiled with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler and have improvements in performance and stability. The VC9 versions require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x86) or the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed Do NOT use VC9 version with apache.org binaries In you code you would test for apache or iis, if apache, then based on version. in php use $_SERVER variables http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php |
The files from apache.org are indeed compiled w/ VC6. However, the Apache files from apachelounge.com are compiled w/ VC9. If you use the apachelounge install, then use VC9 PHP. |

The West Texas Running Club hosts their first race of the year this Saturday, January 11th at 10am. The Loop the Lake 2 mile and 5 mile races will be held at Buddy Holly Park on North University. This is a relatively flat course starting just west of University Ave on Cesar Chavez Drive. The 2 mile course is contained within the area between the loop and University Ave. The 5 mile course makes one large loop crossing University and going as far east as Ave U and then the shorter loop used by the 2 mile race. The course will be well marked on race day to ensure you're on the right course.
Registration is $5.00 for running club members and children under 12 and $15.00 for all others. Children must be 7 or older to run the 2 mile race and 13 or older to run the 5 mile race. Online registration runs through Thursday, January 9th at 6pm. There will be no race day registration. Race bibs must be picked up on race day prior to 9:30am.
If you don't feel like running this race, volunteers are always appreciated. This is a great way to kick off the year. And after this week's cold temperatures, Saturday's forecast is shaping up to be great running weather!

Dust off your boats, boots and bikes because summer and sunshine are just around the corner. That means it's also time to stock up on sunscreen. Kris Somol, ND, who sees patients at Bastyr University's teaching clinic, Bastyr Center for Natural Health, takes a fresh look at the importance of sun protection and the safety of sunscreens on today's market.
Should people in the Northwest be concerned about sun exposure?
According Dr. Somol, here in the cloudy Northwest, the rate of melanoma is actually higher than the national average. Cumulative sun exposure is the biggest contributing factor in the development of skin cancer, but other factors can come into play as well. Dr. Somol explains that behaviors that create free radicals in the body and promote oxidative stress – such as poor diet, low activity or smoking – can make you more susceptible to damage from the sun. Use of tanning beds, especially before the age of 35, can increase your skin-cancer risk later in life by 250 percent. On the other hand, a diet rich in antioxidants – including plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables – can help you lower your risk of skin cancer. "Eating a diet high in orange and red carotenoids seems to be protective against skin cancer," notes Dr. Somol.
Does sunscreen reduce cancer risk?
Using sun protection is crucial for reducing the risk of certain skin cancers, but Dr. Somol recommends reading ingredient labels carefully when choosing a product. "Some sunscreens may actually promote the development of cancer because they contain chemicals that lead to increased free radicals," she reports. The most common culprit is oxybenzone, found in roughly 42 percent of sunscreens. Oxybenzone causes allergic skin reactions and hormone disruption and is likely to actually increase your risk of skin cancer. (Consult the table below for other common sunscreen ingredients to avoid.)
Which sunscreen ingredients are safer?
Seek out sunscreens that include zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Products containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide provide about 20 percent better UV protection than other sunscreens. Plus, products with these safer ingredients generally contain fewer of the harmful ingredients listed in the table. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are now available in nanoparticle form and these products will protect your skin without the telltale opaque white appearance. Dr. Somol is careful to note however, that consumers should avoid aerosol versions of zinc and titanium products because they can be harmful if inhaled. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) provides a vast and detailed database of sunscreen ratings on its website: www.ewg.org.
How can you stay vigilant against skin cancer?
Monitor your own skin for changes and make sure your annual medical exam includes a check for skin changes.
Ingredient | Risk | Other Information |
Oxybenzone | Hormone disruptor. Releases reactive oxygen (may cause cancer). Allergic reactions. Estrogen-like effects. | 9% (significant amount) absorbed into bloodstream. Found in 42% of sunscreens. |
(Octyl methyoxy-cinnamate)
Estrogen-like effects. Disrupts thyroid activity and brain signaling in animal testing. Easily absorbed into the skin. | Most commonly used ingredient. Hypoallergenic. |
Homosalate | Forms toxic byproducts. Weak hormone disruptor. | |
Ensulizole (phenyl-benzimidazole sulfonic acid) | Causes formation of free radicals (may cause cancer). | |
Padamate O (octyl dimethyl PABA / PABA ester | Causes formation of free radicals (may cause cancer). Allergic reactions. Estrogen-like effects. | |
Methyl anthranilate | Unstable when exposed to sunlight. Causes formation of free radicals (may cause cancer). | Banned in Europe. |

[ Metro Santa Cruz | MetroActive Central | Archives ] Pissed!
By Johnny Angel
Just got a new disc in the mail from LA "homo-core" stalwarts Extra Fancy, and threw it on the box with much anticipation. EF are highly touted in the Southland as a vanguard act, overseen by Porno For Pyros' management, a big deal in the East of LaBrea circuit, whoop-de-do. And as an indie act, they'd traversed the unclimbable ridge and permeated the playlist of MTV's 120 Minutes. All-reet!
As this is a PISSED! column, you can expect that Mr. Angel was let down--an understatement. Over-engineered with rivers of reverb soaking the newly major-labeled act in echo, EF is yet another example of an act whose agenda--not their repertoire--was their selling point. Atlantic Records, the band's label, has proudly unveiled a "gay" division in the company, and the label swooped down on the leading exponent of the same in the company's own backyard, and why not?
Yet, homoerotic themeology aside, I don't see why this group is so attractive. The band's lead singer has trouble carrying tunes when they exist at all, and the live energy that makes them a compelling act onstage is nowhere to be found. Their pounding mania simply has disappeared. The kicker is a cover of the glam-metal Nymphs' anthem "Imitating Angels," neatly embalmed with cameos from the Nymphs former chanteuse, Inger Lorre, and X's Exene, both of whom are drowning in the delay-laden mix. Cring-y time.
Extra Fancy and their label mates Glue have a hook above and beyond music, and hence a record deal. But I gotta tell you, I'm baffled that a record label expects big sales from gay-oriented rock bands, as any stroller through the Castro, West Hollywood or UCSC campus can tell you. For the most part, high-energy dance music is the fare de la nuit in the gay community, so the market share this label courts is hardly tangible.
Nope, if it's homo-core you seek, check out Frisco's Tribe 8, a lesbian rock combo whose bark has bite, and who rock unremittingly hard. True, they lean heavily on the didactic tactic, and my testes fear for their lives every time singer Lynn Breedlove lays out her man-loathing lyrics, but good hard rock should make you a little uncomfortable at least, and there's none of that namby-pamby Olivia Records/Holly Near hateful homespun-ness anywhere near here. Tribe 8 delivers, and my only fear for them is that they are too often lumped in with these trifling lightweights on the grounds of same-gender seek, like their horrible homies, Pansy Division, quite possibly the worst band in the world.
A major label fucks up once again. Surprised?

Barcelona has been blitzed for years, but something about this GX edit makes it feel brand new all over again.
The GX squad rips through the streets of London, knowing that the omnipresent eye of CCTV always has a 2nd angle.
Al Davis takes his smooth stylings to the streets of SF with a little acoustical inspiration from Brian Delatorre in this clip from OJ.
Flowing through the SF streets, creative use of spots, and of course bombing hills: here's that "makes you want to skate" GX vibe again. Featuring Brian Delatorre, Jake Johnson, Ben Gore, Al Davis, Wes Kremer, and many other rippers.
Dan Zaslavsky brings you this week's 'five' of Habitat riders Silas Baxter-Neal, Brian Delatorre, Stefan Janoski, Al Davis, and Mark Suciu.
It's a Habitat project, so you already know the video production is next level. The skating, well, that is a whole other beast. Delatorre gets the party started while Suciu delivers a finale for the ages. Guess the SOTY 2014 race starts now. Wow...
Marius Syvanen goes Fatback on you with some point and shoot edit from the filming of Search The Horizon.
The emphasis here is on tech skating and smooth board control. Man, these guys know how to skate. Here's Janoski, Delatorre, Suciu, Syvanen, Silas, Guru, Davis, and Gall.
Filming a full part is a huge achievement but it often comes at a high price. Here's just a handful of slams Brian has taken recently.
It's not everyday you get the whole Habitat team into one place at the same time. They did their best to hide the joy and answer some questions.
Here's that unique look, feel, and sound of the GX crew. And, as always, they find the rawest street spots and swerve busts like no others.
Brian Delatorre digs deep on everything from his spirit animal to his love of cats all while hitting the streets of Spain in this clip from OJ.

A transgender woman has been arrested after posing as a doctor and injecting a bizarre cocktail of cement, flat-tire sealant and mineral oil into the buttocks of a patient desperate for a bigger behind, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Oneal Ron Morris of Miami, Florida was arrested on Friday and charged with practicing medicine without a license and causing serious bodily harm after her victim suffered from bad side affects from being pumped with the toxic injections, CBSNews.com reported.
PHOTOS: Plastic Surgery Disasters
Born a man but living as a woman, 30-year-old Morris charged the unidentified woman $700 for the series of butt-enhancing injections in May 2010.
According to Miami Gardens police, when she complained that the shots were painful, the fake physician told her victim: "Oh don't worry, you'll be fine. We just keep injecting you with the stuff and it all works itself out." She then reportedly sealed the incision with super glue.

The poor woman was overcome with pain but too embarrassed to tell a doctor what had happened despite multiple trips to the hospital.
Bottom-heavy Morris is thought to have given herself the same procedure and police suspect she may have injected other victims who are too ashamed to come forward.

@Feathersilk Aw thank you so much! I'm going to upload another one soon :)
This playlist is lovely. Which Coffee Prince OST is the first song from? I thought I had all the versions of that show's soundtrack, but I don't recognize that song.
That song is on the final soundtrack of Coffee Prince :) You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-z5tmSsjn8
May I ask where you got this particular version of Campanella? I've been looking for it everywhere and I'd like to put it on my ipod.

Here, I'll throw some honest, heart-felt advice into this thread instead of being my normal (elitist/asshole) self. Let this be a good lesson to all you folks out there who may be intending to join or whatever. Listen very carefully, and let it sink in real good.
Quitters are like a disease.
You let a person with a quitters mentality to infest your AO, and it will destroy you.
Just recently, my good friend and his sadistic, evil comrades just took 100 Paratroopers, who had just graduated Airborne school and were ready to start their next challange. The cadre smelled blood, and one person quit, then another, and another, until only a few hours into the new challenge, over 30% of the class had quit. A day or so later, and nearly HALF of the class had quit.
It all started with one quitter. He quit, and then all the other quitters saw how easy it is to give up on oneself. Quitters spawn weakness, and should be shunned always.
I don't care whether you go in to become a Green Beret or a cook, but whatever it is that you go in for, don't quit. Sometimes it will suck no matter what but stick it out, and see it through."We spoke to them in the only language they understood: the machine gun"

Note: This is a guest post from Lee Crockett, Director of U.S. Fisheries Campaigns at the Pew Environment Group.
Our nation's West Coast is known worldwide for the rich and iconic marine life that can be found off its shores. In fact, countless tourists travel there every year just for a glimpse of a pod of migrating gray whales or the chance to catch a coho or king salmon in the wild.
These species and a host of other Pacific marine predators need to eat plenty of small fish to survive and thrive. In fact, to understand the well-being of an ocean ecosystem, one of the first steps is to measure the food supply upon which other, larger species depend.
The Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) has a chance to do just that when it meets this November to guide the completion of its Fishery Ecosystem Plan. Nobody, however, wants a document that just gathers dust on a shelf. Embracing a new policy to measure the amount of prey in the water would be a huge step forward with benefits for numerous Pacific marine predators — from whales breeding off the sunny shores of San Diego to salmon foraging in the chilly waters of the Seattle area's Puget Sound.
Small oil-rich fish such as sardines, anchovies and smelt—commonly known as forage fish—are the linchpin of the marine ecosystem along the West Coast. They eat tiny plants and animals drifting near the surface and, in turn, become prey for everything higher on the food web.
In June, the PFMC recognized the ecological importance of these fish when it set a goal of prohibiting new commercial fishing that targets forage species until there is proof that it won't degrade the ecosystem. However, the council has delayed enacting actual protections for vulnerable forage species such as saury, sand lance and lanternfish. Instead, the PFMC is now pursuing a slower path that requires it to complete a Fishery Ecosystem Plan by March 2013 before moving on to protect currently unmanaged forage fish. So the council needs to make sure it finishes the plan on time.
We cannot afford to delay protections for these important prey species. Our oceans are under increasing environmental stress because of chronic problems such as water pollution and degradation of coastal habitat. Unlike these and other large-scale factors affecting ocean health, the PFMC has a say about fishing that impacts the prey base along the West Coast, and its members can take proactive measures to protect these little fish.
Worldwide, forage species account for more than a third of total marine fish landings by weight, with 90 percent turned into products such as animal feeds and nutritional supplements. Commercial interest in these small, oily fish is growing more intense.
In fact, an analysis done for the PFMC noted that the market for currently unfished forage species along the West Coast is likely to become even more attractive because of the "spectacular growth" of the global aquaculture industry. In other words, the need to feed carnivorous species such as farmed salmon and pen-fattened tuna could take the food supply away from fish swimming in the wild. That means the abundance of fish that supports both commercial and sports fishing, as well as a number of other sectors of the West Coast economy, is at risk.
The Pacific Fishery Management Council can't control global market trends, but it can make forage fish a priority as the key link in a productive Pacific Ocean. The council should start by putting in place a system to measure and track the amount of prey in the water.

Thanks for the article.
Thank you
Randy R continued: flourished. Barn swallows flew up and down the beach, Rare now! Beaches without the so-called excess had short or rare seaweeds. Rotting spawn made those seaweeds huge...places for small fish to hide. Salmon fry leave their rivers just as the herring hatch...abundant food and lots of salmon!!! The herring swim hundreds of miles to spawn on the inshore waters...like a pipeline of fuel for the whole eco-system. The herring are a vital link in the chain of things and it is in dire need of repair. Halt the roe fishery!!!!
The herring roe fishery has to be stopped. They used to spawn in huge numbers and a lot of the used to break loose and get pushed up to the high tide line to rot and stink. Someone in fisheries figured that this was "excess" spawn and could be harvested and sold. As it decomposed, each high tide took a bit of the nutrients back to sea.The seaweeds and other sealife was vibrant. Sand flies laid eggs in it, shorebirds gorged on the maggots. Swallows and brant (sea geese)
very important initiative!

* The term structure is used to define an impact crater that is severely altered by erosion. |
Geologic Survey of Canada Research at Holleford
The research program (Beals 1960) that commenced as a result of the aerial discovery included a study of the surface geology by the Geologic Survey of Canada, and a series of four geophysical studies, namely:
- magnetic observations (1);
- seismic studies (2);
- gravity studies (3), and;
- three diamond drill holes (4).
1. The magnetic studies performed by the Geological Survey of Canada document that there is a minimum magnetic disturbance within the impact structure, here outlined by the circle on the aeromagnetic map (Grieve 2006). |
2. The seismic studies, while not definitive, were nevertheless consistent with the presence of a considerable thickness of low-velocity material under the impact structure of the kind associated with a meteorite impact, namely, the broken and shattered layers designated as breccia.
3. The Bouguer gravity anomaly map produced by the Gravity Division, indicate that the gravity magnitude contours were circular and follow in a general way the outline of the impact structure depression. The central gravity low indicates an anomaly of approximately two milligals. This suggests a circular depression filled to an estimated depth of ~250 metres with material which is on the average of a lower density than the surrounding Precambrian rocks. |
4. The three diamond drill holes located 430, 760 and 1140 metres from the impactor contact point revealed an impact structure profile and underlying strata. The rocks encountered in the drill cores include, from top to bottom, grey limestone and limey sandstone, polymict breccia, crystalline limestone, biotite and biotite-pyroxene gneiss, lime silicate rocks and rare amphibolite. The explosive impact of the meteorite was evident in the hundreds of feet of shattered rock detected here at the depths predicted for a meteorite impact site. |
The studies concluded that the Holleford Meteorite Structure was formed by a body of approximately 100 metres in diameter impacting at a velocity of ~20 km/sec. The resulting explosion had a kinetic energy six times that of the object that formed the Barringer Crater and it blasted a crater 244 metres deep out of the Precambrian, crystalline and metasedimentary late Precambrian or early Cambrian target rock. After the impact, the depression filled with water to become a circular lake. The Palaeozoic seas gradually filled the crater with >30 metres of sediments. Glaciation has removed the rim crest but the crater-fill products are preserved (Beals and Hitchen, 1970). The deposition time of the undisturbed, Potsdam sedimentary (filling complex) has been used to establish the approximate age of the structure (Beals 1960).
Aerial Exploration
The <30 metres depth of the "bowl" shape of the impact structure becomes evident while flying by the structure at lower altitudes. Over a half-billion years of sediment covers the original crater. I have to admit that the first time I flew to this impact structure I had a difficult time in finding and identifying the feature. |
Ground Exploration of the Holleford Impact StructureThe Holleford Impact Structure is a short afternoon drive from Ottawa. To find it, follow highway 38 north from Kingston through Harrowsmith and into Hartington. Turn right/east at the store/gas station. Immediately on the right is a fire station. You are now on the correct road. Follow the road east for a kilometre or two and it will take a bend to the north. Continue for another kilometre or so and it comes to a T branch. Turn right/east and continue up the hill. You should be roughly where this image was taken, on the west rim of the impact structure looking east into the structure. Note the smooth slope of the internal western impact structure wall descending in front of us. These images illustrate the amount of erosion and sedimentary deposition that has occurred in the 500+ million years since the impact.
These ground images illustrate what remains of the Holleford Impact Structure and its rim. There is a section of the eastern paved road that had a "rock cut" of sedimentary rock positioned within the structure. This sedimentary rock was deposited millions of years AFTER the impact that formed the original crater.

Thanks for your help.
Unless you did something extremely crazy your ranking should not change at all plus you will also go to #1 in .co.uk.
Insofar as I am aware a google.us defaults straight to google.com.
We are hosted in the UK and rank #1 for both .com and .co.uk for 1,000+ keywords etc.
The U.S. is still a relatively new country founded by some religeous guys in a boat. No doubt they will qualify one day for their own Google search. ;)
We have certainly be listed #1 for some things in google.com even though all our servers have been (until a couple of days ago!) based in the UK.
I'm hoping that our US-based mirror will help, but it doesn't seem to be necessary.

Affilation: | Technical University of Lodz, PL |
Pages: | 63 - 65 |
Keywords: | signal processing, speech processing, system on chip |
Abstract: | In this paper the possibilities of modern audio-processing systems have been described. One of the most important tasks is a proper definition of feature vectors. For example, the long-term spectra vector has been chosen as the background for text-independent verification system. A system of audio processing has been designed and performed in CMOS technology. The prototype contains high precision CMOS integrated filters and also digital memory to control all functions of audio signal processing, including software radio capabilities. The implementation of the proposed algorithm as hardware-software system, including mixed analog-digital approach, should improve the speed and also the quality of the system. |

The FTSE 100 had a positive session for Friday, but did not quite manage to break above the resistance area that it had been chewing through. Nonetheless, the fact that we didn't really pullback on Friday after such a large gain on Thursday is a bullish sign. We believe that this market will continue higher, and are willing to buy futures on pullbacks as well as higher beta British stocks such as financials.
The 6000 level above is still massively resistive, so we think that any long-term trades need to be after this market is clear of that barrier. Nonetheless, it does look like overall London stocks should do quite well.

All About Emily | |||||||
Connie Willis | |||||||
Subterranean Press, 96 pages | |||||||
A review by Rich Horton
The plot is fairly straightforward. Claire Havilland is an acclaimed actress, perhaps just a bit past her
prime. Her agent inveigles her into an interview with the niece of the Grand Marshal of the Macy's Thanksgiving
Day parade -- said niece is a huge fan of Claire and a bit stagestruck. The kicker is that the Grand Marshal
is a famous roboticist, Dr. Oakes -- and his "niece" (unknown, at first, to Claire) is a robot -- or "artificial,"
which is the polite word.
Claire begins by assuming that the "niece," Emily, is after her job, much like Eve in All About Eve. But
Emily has her own mind -- which is much of the point of the story. Emily wants to be a Rockette, but Dr.
Oakes has different plans, mainly tied up in making more money. And so things rattle along, in Willis fashion,
until we reach the beginning of the story, with Claire in the freezing rain outside Radio City Music Hall
two days before Christmas.
Bottom line is, if you enjoy Connie Willis in her screwball mode, you'll enjoy this, though I don't think it
ranks near her best "screwball" stories (like "Blued Moon" and "Spice Pogrom"). There's plenty of rapid
dialogue, and plenty of references to old movies and musicals (with a few references to plausible future shows
as well!) The SFnal theme, about the rights of created intelligent creatures, these "artificials," is worthwhile
but not really handled with much depth or originality -- indeed, I felt the story really failed (perhaps
didn't really want) to handle its core issues with the rigor they deserve. So, a minor work for Connie
Willis -- nice to have, but nothing special.

How To Succeed At Office Romance
According to a 2011 survey by the job search Web site CareerBuilder.com, four out of 10 workers say they've dated a colleague at some point in their careers. Three in 10 say they married the person they dated at work. Fewer workers are keeping their romance a secret these days. CareerBuilder found that 65% are going public with their office relationships, compared with 46% six years ago. Despite its ubiquity, office romance can be fraught with peril. What's the best approach to conducting a love affair in the workplace? Here's some advice.

Type of car for VT trip
My friends and I are going to drive 6 hours up to Stowe next weekend. One of my buddies has access to a big touring van that we can borrow for free. The car is in great shape. If there is no snow and driving conditions are solid does anybody think driving such a big car might be a hazard? I have experience with larger vehicles, but not in "winter" conditions.
Any info is appreciated. |

I had gone up to Jay for NYE weekend. We rented one of those 12 passenger vans w/o realization that they are all RWD. Let's just say it was a real HIGH anxiety road trip whenever we were on the road. FWD or AWD should be no problem. RWD, don't even attempt it. Never renting those vans for VT trips anymore...

I don't think you'll have any problem with no snow on the roads... Went up to Mt. Snow last week and you basically just pass truck rigs on one lane roads. If they can fit safely, I'm sure you and your friends will be just fine.

It's easy to pretend you're a (rather well-off) local in these cushy digs in Midtown East. Two former apartment buildings, linked by a stylish lobby and small guests' courtyard, have been turned into a long-stay hotel (one month minimum). Guest quarters start at 625 square feet—larger than many Manhattan one-bedroom apartments—and feature wall-spanning windows. The views from some rooms, especially those that look south over the river, are dazzling. The decor may lack personality, but the blandly neutral furnishings are unlikely to offend any taste. Kitchens are equipped with full-size stainless-steel ovens and fridges, plus a microwave and dishwasher. Internet and local calls are included in the rates and there's a decent-size laundry room and gym. Families with large bank accounts will appreciate the two- to four-bedroom apartments.

Infant mortality experts gather for D.C. briefing
Memphis problems take center stage in search for answers
WASHINGTON -- Getting pregnant women to seek prenatal care earlier and treating prematurity, low birth weight and high infant mortality rates as a social injustice were some of the ideas that came out of a briefing on infant mortality Tuesday in the Capitol's basement.
The briefing brought together national and Memphis-centered experts on infant mortality and was organized by the staff of U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn. In his opening remarks, Cohen noted that in ZIP code 38108 in North Memphis, there are 31 deaths for every 1,000 live births -- worse than the infant morality rates in Indonesia, El Salvador, Nicaragua or Vietnam.
Dr. Ronald David, a neonatalogist and pediatrician on the National Infant Mortality Commission, said attitudes need to change -- among them that pregnancy is a pathological situation that needs medical attention. David urged the small crowd of congressional staffers and others to "Go to Ruth's House" to see how true community-centered prenatal and onsite birthing centers are improving mortality statistics.
He was referring to 80-year old Ruth Watson Lubic, a nurse and founder of Washington's Family Health and Birth Center, which is saving lives and money with the message that women need to understand and be more involved with all aspects of their pregnancies.
Also speaking at the 90-minute briefing were Jessica Gibson and Erin Do of the Tennessee State Comptroller's Office and authors of the March 2006 report "Mothers and Babies: The Health of Tennessee's Future."
Dr. Ramasubbareddy Dhanireddy of the Newborn Center at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis and a professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, said that since a summit on the issue held at Memphis in April of last year, an infrastructure for dealing with infant mortality is being built. But he said the newborn unit, created in 1968, is in need of major repairs.
Dhanireddy also noted that while teenage pregnancy is in general declining, the prematurity rate is increasing.
Brian Dobbins, managed care director at The Med, noted that across the state of Tennessee, the primary cause of infant mortality is birth defects but that in Shelby County, it is prematurity. He said that of the 22,000 in-patient cases treated annually at the hospital, almost 50 percent are obstetric cases.
He said a contributing factor in premature births is stress and anxiety, both in patients and hospital staff, and called it one of the most profound issues that is often overlooked.

Michael Dibdin
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (April 2013) |
Michael Dibdin (21 March 1947 – 30 March 2007) was a British crime writer.
Early life[edit]
Dibdin was born in Wolverhampton, the son of a physicist, and was brought up from the age of seven in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, where he attended the Friends' School. He graduated with a degree in English from Sussex University, and then went to study for a Master's degree at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.
After publishing his first novel, a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, he lived for four years in Italy, teaching at the university in Perugia.
Dibdin is best known for his Aurelio Zen mysteries, set in Italy. The first of these, Ratking, won the 'Gold Dagger' award of 1988. This series of detective novels provide a penetrating insight into the less visible aspects of Italian society over the last 20 years. The earlier books have a lightness of touch that gradually becomes much darker. The character of Zen himself is anti-heroic, which adds much to the books' irony and black humour. A final Zen book, End Games, appeared posthumously in July 2007.
He also wrote other detective works set in America and in England.
Personal life[edit]
Later he lived in Seattle, Washington.
Dibdin was married three times, most recently to the novelist K. K. Beck. He died on 30 March 2007, in Seattle, following a short illness.

"Digital television broadcasting is not a simple matter, and even broadcasters that have transitioned to digital can benefit from a refresher on the fundamental technologies underlying DTV,"" said Chernock. "Equipped with an understanding of DTV transport stream basics and the components critical to assuring the quality of broadcast video, broadcasters can approach the February deadline with confidence in their continued ability to deliver consistent and continuous programming to viewers."
Chernock's discussion of DTV transport basics will include a review of MPEG-2 transport; the enhancements and constraints added by the ATSC standards; and the signaling metadata (PSI and PSIP) that allows the receiver to discover, connect, and decode the information flow correctly to recreate television programming. The primary aim of this session is to provide broadcasters with a basic understanding of how these system elements work together. Chernock also will examine a typical station architecture to illustrate the functionality of core equipment with regard to their role in assembling and coordinating the transport stream and associated metadata.
In addressing the challenges of assuring a quality DTV broadcast, Chernock will introduce an architecture for centralized, system-wide quality assurance. Components of this architecture include monitoring, troubleshooting, consolidation and targeted communication of data, as well as configuration of all monitoring and analysis systems. He will review how, with all these components in place, broadcasters can maintain an integrated view of monitoring that allows them to find and correct service impairments quickly and thus improve service quality while reducing operations costs.
The IEEE Broadcast Symposium runs from Oct. 15–17 at the Westin Hotel in Alexandria, Va. More information about the conference is available at www.ieee.org.

I got invited to 4 separate parties tonight. Made an assessment, and chose to eliminate one based on walking distance. Then, I printed off and labelled walking directions for efficiency. (self.entj)

If feels like I'm making a science out of social interaction. Not because I'm scared of it, but because this extrovert loves it and wants as much as possible, with as many diverse groups as possible.
I'm now going to label the map with timings and such. There's one party I'll start at and leave early because it's more of an official event, then another I'm heading to with some housemates for mid-late evening, then another that is more chill and usually ends with people jamming in the basement. I cannot play most instruments, but I can donk a mean xylophone.

I used to do this in college. I would write down the various times and places and map out the best route and order in order to spend the amount of time I wanted at each, but also based on where I wanted to end up at the end of the night and where I wanted to kick things off. Funny, I never thought of it as an ENTJ thing at the time, but this is also the first time I have heard of someone else doing it :)

Day 13 Consequence
Consequences, the results of our actions. As children we usually hated consequences because they were often punishments and we always forgot the other half of the word. Consequences aren't just the results of bad things we do, they are the result of everything we do. When I was a kid I tried my best to avoid consequences because that always meant something bad was going to happen. We always use other words for good consequences like reward and praise, but really they are the same thing. It seems as though we have changed the meaning of a word, something we often seem to do. Now a consequence isn't just a result of an action it's the result of a bad action and is now a punishment. A consequence of our changing world and our muddied and confused communication.
