Eddy "Citizen" Hauser Read about Ed …
I have been reading the Cuyahoga County energy task force wind turbines-on-Lake Erie report over the last week - I am not comfortable with the report. It looks like I'm not alone. While I have been doing research for the last few days to get my critical ducks lined up, Bill Callahan today has beat me to the punch with this entry in his blog.
Consider all of Mr. Callahan's very reasonable remarks, and then ask yourself, what the Hell is going on? Mr. William Mason, Mr. Steve Dever, Mr. David Nash, or anyone else on the "task force", why aren't you looking at land based wind turbines - or better yet, manufacturing opportunities that will bring pay checks to NEO?
And please, consider my lack of conviction in the merits of lake based wind turbines in this context: I have been an avid wind energy supporter for 37 years!
(and a word to Bill if he happens to read this...I tried to log in to comment on your blog, but the password still hasn't gotten back to my email...I see also that you have been having trouble with your site hit counter...well take solice, realneo has been pretty rocky as of late too...until Derek Arnold hit it with his Drupal mojo this week end)
Great posting on this by Bill Callahan. Wait a minute... it isn't very "believe in Cleveland"...
Bill's the best economist in NEO... keep taking them to task with force!
Disrupt IT
I second Jeff and Norm's comments. We need to be trying to make wind components, not just be content in buying.

After nearly six months I'm finally back on DA! I didn't have much time for deviantArt and photographing animals. This year I have my final exams at school and so I have to study a lot. Further I started dancing in a "latin formation" last october. I really like it a lot but it is very time-consuming too. I want to finish my driver's license... so there is much to do until summer
However.. last week I went to the zoo again (after a very long time ) and made some beautiful shots of Vienna's lion and tiger "cubs", which I will upload within the next days/weeks
Oh well.. they got so big
Anyhow.. I will take the time for photography and DA
Have a nice week

2011 Long Beach State Hall of Fame Nominee: 1989 Women's Volleyball Team
Sept. 14, 2011 Long Beach, Calif. - The Long Beach State athletics department will celebrate a first with the 2011 Hall of Fame Class, honoring an entire team in the first 49er team to win an NCAA National Championship, the 1989 Women's Volleyball team. It was a storybook season for the 49ers in 1989 as Long Beach State captured its first-ever NCAA Championship. In fact, it was the first NCAA Division I Championship by any sport at the school. The 49ers finished the season at 32-5 after compiling a 13-5 mark in the tough Big West Conference. Leading the way was first-time All-America selection Tara Cross. Cross, who was named the AVCA Co-Player of the Year along with Teee Sanders-Williams of Hawaii, tallied a school-record 779 kills on the season. LBSU defeated San Diego State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament 15-7, 15-7, 15-10. From there it was on to the Northwest Regional in Stockton, Calif. Long Beach State earned a tough 15-11, 9-15, 15-12, 15-9 win over Pacific in the Regional Semifinals, and then defeated No. 1 Hawaii 11-15, 15-13, 10-15, 15-9, 15-10 to advance to its first-ever Final Four. Once in Honolulu for the Final Four, the 49ers disposed of upstart Texas-Arlington in the semifinals 15-6, 11-15, 15-10, 15-7. That set up a championship match with Nebraska, an easy 3-0 winner over UCLA in the other semifinal. With Tara Cross nailing down 20 kills and a .529 hitting percentage for the match, the 49ers easily downed the Huskers 15-12, 15-0, 15-6. The 49ers hit .366 (42-12-84) for the match and limited Nebraska to a .000 hitting percentage (30-30-102). The team featured three current LBSU Hall of Famers: Tara Cross, Sheri Sanders and Antoinnette White. The 2011 Long Beach State Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at 6 p.m. at the Hilton Long Beach Hotel & Executive Meeting Center. |

I have successfully used vista on my g5 imac but after windows crashed it left me with a black screen on resuming, without loading vista or OS, Windows Resume Loader, and leaving two options, Continue with system resume, and Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu. However the keyboard does not react at all, and neither option is selectable, a restart simply brings me back to the screen and holding down the option key during a restart does nothing. Other forums suggest for PCs that switching to a PS2 keyboard works, but I dont know what the option for a mac would be, my current keyboard is wired usb.
Has anyone got a solution or know how to override the windows resume? (my default OS has been set to Vista (temporarily) and I have a disc in my drive I cant eject as the keyboard is not operable ..) thanks |

Don't know the answer to your question, but would be curious (as I am sure many others are also) as to how you installed Windows on your G5.

I think he was curious to know how you managed to install bootcamp onto a G5 mac? As far as i know this is impossible! Do you mean intel?

First thing I'd try would be a different keyboard.
Holding down the mouse button on boot will often eject a disk. Once tried multiple keyboards and no response, it may not have been a Windows crash, but a hardware issue. Very well could be time to take it to an Apple store and have them diagnose it. I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.

Hi there,
I found this post as i'm now looking for a solution! I have a Mac Pro Xeon 10.6.4 with a NON-bootcamp (my friend insisted) Windows 7 32-bit install. I have 4 harddrives, and the windows install is completely on it's own 2 TB harddrive. I had windows running, and left my computer on, and came back hours later, only to find it comatosed. Apparently it's to do with the hibernation feature. It's happened before, but if i just hard rebooted, i would be going again. This time, I hard rebooted, chose to boot into Windows and then got the "Windows Resume Loader" screen. It gives two options -- "hit enter to resume" or "delete restorative... blah blah....". Only thing is, the keyboard is non-responsive. It just sits there. So you can't choose anything or hit Enter. And I had to reboot again. I found another post with the same problem and a solution: ---------------------------------- From Apple - Support - Discussions - Windows 7 Resume Loader ... I booted up OSX, then loaded the finder. Went to the Bootcamp partition and found a file called "hiberfil.sys"... I deleted that and restarted, this time booting into windows. I still got a menu screen with no keyboard response, but this time it was the boot menu, with the default option set to "Start Windows Normally". Once the countdown on the page reaches 0, it will try to start Windows. I found myself staring at a black screen for about two minutes, then my mac restarted itself. However, once it had done this I tried to boot into Windows 7 again and it did it without any problems. ---------------------------------------- Great solution - but I can't find the "hiberfil.sys" file on my harddrive. I'm looking at the drive through finder on the mac, and I can't do a search, as the spotlight doesn't search my windows drive, so I have to locate it manually, unless there is a way to search for it? I only find IO.sys, MSDOS.sys and config.sys. on the root. The other potential problem is this: my windows harddrive is read-only. Now, I could remedy that with something like NTFS Mounter, and do read/write, but is there a way without installing that? I do have an old pc, but i don't have a keyboard for it. I thought about throwing the harddrive into the pc, and booting it, and then maybe i could purchase a ps2 keyboard (do they even sell those anymore??). But I don't want to spend much money on a solution here -- further more, what if i purchase the keyboard, and it still doesn't work? So, a mac hardware solution would be most preferable. I purchased Windows 7 only a month ago, so to have this occur is, well, a little dissapointing. I only use it because certain graphics and music programs are only available on Windows. Any help appreciated. |

Why didn't you turn off hibernate in your power settings when you first setup Windows 7? Hibernate is a feature that is almost never required for modern machines and simply uses hard drive space the size of your memory to store system contents for a quick start up.
The hiberfil.sys file is a hidden system read only file and will not show up to Spotlight in a search. The only way to unhide it is to boot to Windows and use the file Explorer to turn off the hidden system read only attributes. Catch 22! You're just going to have to let loose with some money and buy a USB keyboard that you can use, or remove the hard drive and put it in a Win machine that's working. The other alternative is install NTFS mounter in OS X and see if you can delete the hiberfil.sys file that way. I doubt it will work but you can give it a try. NTFS mounter is free. |

Richard (Rick) Mills Ahead of the Herd
As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information
Gus Gunn, of the British Geological Survey, has identified three main factors behind the steep rise in
commodity demand and prices:
Minerals unique properties contribute to supplying us with food, shelter, infrastructure, transportation, communications, health care, manufacturing, new technologies and defense.
Import reliance of minerals is of particular relevance to the United States and concerns have been raised that the necessary mineral resources will not be available to meet soaring demand for current and emerging products and technologies.
"Our enormously productive economy… demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption… We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever increasing rate." Victor Lebow, 1955
America depends upon overseas suppliers for over 80 percent of its most important critical minerals.
"The United States is the world's third largest Copper producer, yet a 2010 MIT study by Elisa Alonso notes that the risk of Copper disruption is significantly greater than for other major metals, and is at or near an historical high. The Office of the Secretary of Defense lists Copper as a metal that has, "[Already] caused some kind of weapon production delay for the DoD." *Copper is also the primary metal for other strategic and critical metals highlighted in this report. Significant amounts of Molybdenum, Rhenium (nearly 75% of world's production), Tellurium and Selenium (95% of world's production) come from Copper mining and refining. Copper shortages will trigger companion shortages in these metals as well. We highlight this to further demonstrate the shortsightedness of targeting metals based entirely on stand-alone percentages." The American Resources Policy Network report, "Assessing Risk: Critical Metals and National Security
*Researchers have concluded that the U.N.'s estimated global population of ten billion people (by the end of this century) could consume 1.7 trillion kilograms of copper, total global in-ground stocks of copper are estimated at 1.6 trillion kilograms.
The American Resources Policy Network report notes that **China supplies more than one in five of the minerals that are vital to the America's commercial and defense sectors despite the fact that proven U.S. resources exist for 40 of the 46 minerals reviewed, or 87 percent of these minerals.
**China is the leading producer of the following commodities:
Cement 50%, coal 40%, iron ore 39%, phosphate rock 35%, gypsum 28%, zinc 25%, barite 55%, lead 43%, manganese 25%, rare earths 97%, molybdenum 39%, tungsten 81%, arsenic 47%, vanadium 37%, cadmium 23%, gold 13%, mercury 63%, indium 50%, germanium
The 1981 report "A Congressional Handbook on U.S. Minerals Dependency/Vulnerability" singled out eight materials "for which the industrial health and defense of the United States is most vulnerable to potential supply disruptions" - chromium, cobalt, manganese, the platinum group of metals, titanium, bauxite/aluminum, columbium, and tantalum - the first five have been called 'the metallurgical Achilles heel of our civilization.'
In 1984 U.S. Marine Corps Major R.A. Hagerman wrote:
"Since World War ll, the United States has become increasingly dependent on foreign sources for almost all non-fuel minerals. The availability of these minerals have an extremely important impact on American industry and, in turn, on U.S. defense capabilities. Without just a few critical minerals, such as cobalt, manganese, chromium and platinum, it would be virtually impossible to produce many defense products such as jet engine, missile components, electronic components, iron, steel, etc. This places the U.S. in a vulnerable position with a direct threat to our defense production capability if the supply of strategic minerals is disrupted by foreign powers."
In 2011 Daniel McGroarty, President of the American Resources Policy Network had this to say:
"The U.S. government desperately needs a coherent national mineral access strategy. We are acutely dependent on foreign supplies of non-fuel minerals and metals that are vital to commercial manufacturing and advanced weapons systems. Our exposure to potential supply disruptions is a profound national security threat."
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) the value of raw, nonfuel minerals mined in the United States was $74 billion in 2011, up from $66 billion in 2010, domestic raw materials and domestically recycled materials were used to process and produce mineral materials worth $633 billion. Final products, such as cars and houses, produced by major U.S. industries using mineral materials made up about 15 percent (more than $2.2 trillion) of the 2011 gross domestic product.
"Without increased domestic exploration, significant declines in U.S. mineral production are unavoidable as present reserves are exhausted. We will continue to ship American jobs overseas and forfeit our economic competitiveness unless we take steps to develop our own mineral resources." Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources Chairman Doug Lamborn
It's obvious minerals are part of virtually every product we use and that mineral production is a key economic activity that creates jobs and improves any countries national security.
U.S. import dependence has increased significantly since 1978, the year that this information was first reported. At that time, the United States was 100 percent import dependent for seven mineral commodities, and more than 50 percent import dependent for 25 mineral commodities.
The United States was 100 percent reliant on imports for 19 mineral commodities in 2011 and in total relied on foreign sources to supply more than 50 percent of its domestic consumption of 43 mineral commodities in 2011.
2011 U.S. Net Import Reliance for Selected Non-fuel Minerals
The irony of U.S. dependence on mineral imports is that the U.S. contains 15 percent of available global resources, yet barely contributes one percent of global supply.
Perhaps that's because America is one of the toughest places in the world to bring a new mine online. It takes up to ten years, on average, to obtain all the necessary permits.
In May 2011, the U.S. House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources held a hearing titled "Strategic and Critical Minerals Policy: Domestic Minerals Supplies and Demands in a time of Foreign Supply Disruptions."
Here's a bit of what Hal Quinn, CEO of the National Mining Association said in his testimony;
"America's drift away from greater self-sufficiency for the basic building blocks of our economy compromises our economic and national security and ignores this country's rich reserves of metals and minerals. It is time for policymakers to meet head-on the larger issue of how our country can produce more domestic minerals to meet a greater share of our needs…the U.S. has one of the world's greater mineral repositories, our ability to get these minerals into the supply chain to help meet more of America's needs is threatened. Numerous public policies have placed high hurdles in our lane of the global race to remain competitive. If commodity cycles are historically 20 years in duration, the 10 years it takes to obtain permits leaves U.S. mining still in the starting blocks with the race half way over."
The high hurdles Quinn is referring to are :
It should not come as a surprise to anyone that the U.S. share of investment in mining is at an all-time low dropping from 21 percent of the world's mining investment in the early 1990's to ten percent in 2000 and eight percent today.
There are only two remedies available that would effectively reduce the U.S.'s dependence on mineral imports: open up presently off limit federal land and secondly, the mine permitting process needs to be streamlined by Congress so that it can meet the nation's advanced manufacturing and defense needs.
"When it comes to strategic metals and minerals, we need government agencies like the EPA to proactively work with industry to effectively develop America's natural resources, rather than expand its regulatory authority in an effort to shut projects down." Lisa Reisman, Executive Editor of Metal Miner."
Now i think i'm going down to the well tonight And i'm going to drink till i get my fill And i hope when i get old i don't sit around thinking about it But i probably will Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture A little of the glory of, well time slips away And leaves you with nothing mister but Boring stories of glory days
Glory Days, Bruce Springsteen Conclusion
"Maintaining the American standard of living required 7.1 billion tons of rocks and minerals last year to make the things we use and depend upon every day. Every year, nearly 48,000 pounds of new minerals must be provided for every person in the United States to make the products we buy and the various things we use and with 300 million people in the U.S. expecting to live comfortably and affordably, mining has to occur somewhere." Nelson Fugate, president of the Denver-based Mineral Information Institute (MII).
"NOT MADE IN AMERICA" stickers are now found on nearly every item for sale in America. In 1985, the US imported less than $4 billion worth of goods from China, and the country had just a small trade deficit. Today, the US spends almost $400 billion per year just on Chinese goods and has a massive trade deficit with the world.
Real new wealth, and an economic superpower, are only created when a countries resources are used to manufacture goods to sell at home and abroad - when a countries natural resources are used to provide solid long term high paying jobs. When people are working, and have discretionary income, economic stimulus results. The United States of America was an economic superpower for these very reasons. The US needs to regenerate and re-grow its economy - restart the process of generating new wealth - this creates jobs and brings national prosperity.
Resource extraction and agriculture are the primary sources of wealth.
Exploitation of the United States own natural resources, combined with a solid manufacturing sector could be the economic drivers of a resurgent US economy. 'Made Again In America' and a return to 'Glory Days' should be on everyone's radar screen. Are they on yours?
If not, maybe they should be.

Our Living World is Dying
Stacey Worman, 2006-2007 Michael B. Keegan Traveling Fellow
Online Journal _____________________________________ Date: December 1st, 2006 To: Undisclosed recipients Re: My Dream Destination & an Indigenous Filipino Family... ______________________________________ It's been five months away from home and I have yet to set a schedule and a route for my travels. One year ago, this fellowship was an abstract idea and I was busy constructing my proposal for my once-in-a-life-time, dream-trip around the world. And when brainstorming the infinite possibilities, I kept a transient list of different countries that I might want to visit... Now...if I were to go home, fumble through my old notebooks, and re-visit all of my chicken scratch, I'm sure I would have a good chuckle over the evolution of that list. But ever since the beginning, the one country that has never left that list...the one country that I had earmarked as my "definite, absolutely, must-get-to place" was the Philippines. I'm cannot explain exactly why I found this country so incredibly alluring...but for one reason or another, I did. And poof...here I am...a dream come true...and good timing, as it was truly an appropriate place to have spent this year's Thanksgiving! And wherever you all may have found yourselves last Thursday, I hope you had your own wonderful food-fun-friends-and-family-filled holiday! As I mentioned at the end of my last email, Siobhan connected me with a friend she had made while she was traveling in Cambodia...and her friend (Lindsay) connected me with her best friend (Sherry) who is currently serving as an environmental volunteer in the Peace Corps in the Philippines. Given the current U.S. Travel Advisory and the fact that this marked my first real adventure in a developing nation, I was especially appreciative of the lifeline (so were my parents!). And when I arrived at Clarke Air Force Base, two hours away from the airport I thought I was flying into...completely and utterly confused (what's news?)...I quickly became appreciate of another thing; my hideous hot-pink international cell phone that I had reluctantly purchased by necessity and default mid-way through my travels down-under. It meant that I could contact my contact! And since arriving to my dream destination a little over three weeks ago, I've been settled in the mountains of Northern Luzon...And my reality has been even better than my dreams... The highlight of my time in the North has definitely been the Cosalan's, Sherry's indigenous Ibaloi host family. I arrived just in time for the much anticipated launching of their Eco-Tourism and Organic farm. Early in the morning, we gathered at the Municipal Hall in town for the three kilometer hike down into the valley. Into the afternoon, the crowd grew as the traditional feast (two pigs were slaughtered!) and festival continued. The entire day was beautiful; full of speeches and prayers, singing and dancing, love and happiness. And into the night, we continued the celebration around a bonfire. The Ibaloi were among the first citizens of the Philippines and the Cosalan family has continuously possessed and occupied their land for over three generations, since the early 1840s. Guided by cultural traditions, they have religiously practiced their indigenous system of resource management, anchored on the central tenant that, "Land is not only capital, but, more importantly, life." To ensure an ecologically balanced landscape, their ancestors left more than 30% of their property forested...devoid of plants, terraces, and paddies...in order to protect their water source and watershed and to ensure the health and prosperity of the land for their children's children. But like most indigenous communities in colonized countries, the Cosalan's were pushed to the periphery. The government allowed the family to retain only the parts of the property which they had 'settled' and took away their forests given the fact that they lacked signs of their 'use and occupancy'. But East to West, concepts of "use and occupancy" of land are innately different...And to this day, the family (and countless other indigenous families) continues to battle for the full title of their ancestral lands. Then...a few decades ago, Santo Niños opened a mining operation close by and the Cosalan's were indirectly driven off their land and into the nearby city, as they found their water source, their crops, and their health damaged. Less than a decade ago those mines went out of business and closed and their land began a process of rejuvenation! The eleven Cosalan children who were raised on that piece of land are now adults...and they've joined in an effort to continue their parent's indigenous legacy and environmental teachings! Their aim is to preserve their land and culture while using their organic farm (now named ENCA) as a space to educate the community. And it was great to be there for the official launching of their dream. And it's been wonderful spending time down in the valley, helping out with various tasks like trail construction and seed sowing by day...and hearing stories by night! Their intimate knowledge of their land...its' plants and animals...is awe-inspiring...they have so much to teach us! Two days ago I finished participating in the first seminar held on the premises; a three-day introductory workshop lead by an Australian-trained Filipino on Bio-dynamic Farming! We've also just finished registering the farm as a WWOOFing host (the first one in the Philippines!)...just in case any fellow international travelers out there happen to be looking for a great place to spend some time! When not at the farm, I have been staying with Auntie Lyng (the youngest of the Cosalan children), Uncle Daniel, their son Carl, and their house-hand Mildred. They welcomed me into their home with open arms and were extremely hospitable. Family is extremely important in this country and I quickly became part of theirs. It was nice to spend some of my mornings down at the Municipal Hall, watching Carl play in his basketball games. And at day's end, it was nice to sit around a dinner table and exchange stories. For Thanksgiving, the Peace Corps organized a holiday gathering further north in a tiny-touristy town called Sagada. It was nice to be with American's on the America holiday...and we gave thanks over a traditional feast (the only thing that was missing was my favorite...the pumpkin pie!) While there, a group of us hired local guides to take us on a caving adventure! The caves in Sagada were beautiful and the limestone formations were unlike anything I had ever seen before. We had to swim across an underground pool for one section! And there was another large, ice-cold, crystal clear deep pool that we all took turns jumping, diving, and cannon-balling into! Because very few people in the group had ever been underground before...the day made me think about my Wilskills days back at Vandy. I found myself pitching Tennessee and its' natural beauty...I even uttered the phrase, "Tennessee is the caving mecca of the world." Ah, Good Old Rocky Top...for all those of you reading this back in Nashville, you are lucky to be in such a remarkable place! Well, that's my update for now! Thanks for those of you who had emailed about the typhoon! I stayed dry during this one...and found myself slipping and sliding on my trek out from the farm during another one! Yesterday I left the mountains and this morning I arrived on the island of Palawan...sure doesn't feel like any December I've ever known... Until next time, take care and so will I, Love, Stace ____________________________________ November 8th, 2006, An Old Forest, A Feral Ship, and Discarded Paper...

Rec Poster Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Minnesota | Pistol rig gear for TPX
Found this the other day, and couldn't resist purchasing one for that price to replace my current TPX setup. Anyone familiar with it? Is there any reason why I should waste $35+ a piece on a MOLLE TPX holster when this exists for $10? Is there anyone that still sells these?

My guess is that if you're looking at real steel holsters, they're not going to be big enough for a TPX.

if it fits - great - it might not mass produced generic real steel holsters are generally a bit slim for paintball markers to fit in - I have no experience with that specific one you linked (at least that I can recall) but you certainly will need to check it when you get it for fit, feel, and quality. why pay $35 - well few reasons as mentioned before - fit, feel, quality are important if it was made by a custom tailor - labor costs are higher, material costs may be based on quality of material. Honestly in the grand scheme of things - $35 for a GOOD holster is not much to pay at all - some of my real steel reside in custom leather that cost me closer to $85 to $135 for those rigs and to me it was worth every cent. /shrug |

Looks good. Hope it fits. I'm spending the extra cash on a MOLLE holster for my new TPX because I want it to sit a certain way. WTFPB is taking care of that for me. It'll cost a pretty penny but I don't care to pay for exactly what I want. Stich, what holster did you go with? I would like to see your rig!

Crimson D - Yup! Mine's being made. Had to ask for a special option because I tend to take falls like a YouTube fail compilation video when playing. Last time I was able to smash all my tubes and the paint inside them. I want to make sure the marker is more or less together after one of those. I'm working with a DYE tactical rig now mixing my stock class and pistol. So far WTFPB has been very nice and let me change a few things on their stock class shingles so it will fit my rig. Stitch - We wanna see anyway! Time is of no consequence... What paint do you guys use in the Tpx?

How Are Newlyweds Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici Spending Valentine's Day?
Last Valentine's Day, newlyweds Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici were still keeping their romance on the hush-hush, so they couldn't exactly spend much quality time making puppy-dog eyes at each other. At least, not publicly. Luckily, this year is a whole different story for the Bachelor cuties. And yes, this involves bacon, as all good stories about romance do. Sean and Catherine have been busy (gettin' busy) lately, recently returning from their honeymoon in Bora Bora after tying the knot on January 26. And it looks like Sean has a few tricks up his sleeve for the big day as they settle into married life. On February 14, Catherine posted an Instagram photo of Sean whipping up a morning meal. "My hubby is making me breakfast on our first married Vday <3 <3 What a stud!" Catherine captioned the hot shot. And here we didn't think we could possibly find any more reasons to be jealous of Catherine. So what's on the menu for their Valentine's breakfast? It appears that Sean is fixing bacon and scrambled eggs, although we have a feeling he might be making facon and substitute eggs for Catherine, who's often vegan. Bacon and a hot guy — what could be better? Actually, we'd be fine with just the bacon, but that's us... We're not exactly sure what's in store for them for the rest of the schmoopy-schmoopy day, but Catherine is definitely enjoying it. Shortly after posting the breakfast pic, she posted a photo of one of her hands — with hearts painted on the fingernails — entwined with her hubby's. In related news, we're now a puddle. Someone get the mop. Are you impressed that Sean made Catherine breakfast for Valentine's Day? Wish them a happy day of love in the comments below! Source: Catherine on Instagram

I'm going PHL-TLV tomorrow (8/22), departing around 9 EST. Even though I fly all the time, I absolutely hate moderate-severe turbulence. Between the jetstream positioned where currently is in the mid-Atlantic, the front pushing off the east coast and Hurricane Bill, it looks like it could be quite a rough ride. Any experienced chart readers out there have any insight into where I should expect the worst of it?

Re: HDMI TO MHL gone after JB update
I just called HTC about this, figured they'd know more than Sprint. The customer service rep I spoke to didn't have any info on the issue, which isn't surprising since the update is so new.
The only thing he suggested was a full factory reset. So I'm going to wait and see before doing anything that severe. I'd hate to go to the trouble of a full reset and find out it didn't fix the problem. - 12-14-2012, 09:16 AM Thread Author #4
Re: HDMI TO MHL gone after JB update
UPDATE: Success! My MHL is now working again! I didn't factory reset or anything. All I did was try plugging it in again, though this time I plugged the power charger into the adapter. It still didn't work at first, but the phone display had rotated to landscape, and the HDMI logo was in the task bar. I unplugged and replugged and it finally worked!
So it appears that the adapter won't work unless the power is also plugged in. I tested this by unplugging the power cable while it was outputting over HDMI, and my TV went black. Plugged the power back in and it came back on my TV screen.
I wonder if this has to do with the new power saving features in the update. It would make sense, since it's a big battery drain, especially if you're playing videos. - 12-18-2012, 09:52 AM #6
Re: HDMI TO MHL gone after JB update
Ive never been able to get any MHL adapter to work with out also having it plugged into a wall charger.
I have 2 MHL adapters, generic and a Samsung. Used them on my EVO 3D, GS2, GS3 and EVO LTE..
No matter what device or adapter i always had to have it plugged into a wall charger.. - 12-20-2012, 11:15 AM #7
Re: HDMI TO MHL gone after JB update
I know mine worked without the wall charger plugged in before, I used it that way many times. Maybe it was never supposed to work that way, but it did. I have the MHL adapter from Monoprice, so I don't know if that makes a difference.
I had issues when I first got it where I would get choppy output to my 1080p, TV but smooth on my old 720p TV, but that resolved itself somehow. So I'm willing to believe I had some non-standard bugs with my operation of the adapter. -

The New York Film Festival announced its full slate Thursday.
Running from Sept. 28 to Oct. 14, the festival will open with Ang Lee's 3D adaptation of "Life of Pi" (this will be the second time a Lee film began NYFF, the first was 1997s "Ice Storm").
The Film Society of Lincoln Center said the festival will close with Robert Zemeckis' "Flight," which stars Denzel Washington. The centerpiece will be "Not Fade Away," a film directed by "The Sopranos" creator David Chase.
In total, the festival will present 32 movies, including the North American premiere of Michael Haneke's "Amour," which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year and the world premiere of Alan Berliner's documentary "First Cousin Once Removed," which follows poet Edwin Honig's descent into Alzheimer's.
The festival will be celebrating its 50th birthday with this fortnight of films, and tickets will be available to the public beginning Sept. 9.

MOORE, OKLA. — Jim Camoriano, a State Farm spokesman, was sent to Oklahoma City last week to confront the staggering losses suffered during the deadly tornado.
Camoriano, who lives in Columbia, compared the severity of the tornado's destruction to Hiroshima.
"The type of power that we are seeing — these cars are being picked up and being thrown and tossed like they are little toys," he said. "They're like missiles that have been thrown into the ground."
Jim Camoriano stands in the path the tornado took through Moore, Okla. (Photo courtesy of Jim Camoriano)
Damage to insured property ranged from $2 billion to $5 billion, according to EQECAT Inc., a catastrophe risk modeling firm.
Camoriano arrived Tuesday in Moore, Okla., to help assist policyholders affected by the tornado that hit the town May 20. He drove alone from Columbia and joined other State Farm agents and claims representatives in the area.
He said the smell in the air was like nothing else he's ever experienced.
"You've got oil that has been soaking in the grass, rotting food — all these elements together gives this a real distinct smell," Camoriano said. "Once you smell it, you won't forget it."
The rubble is like a blend of unidentifiable objects, he said, referring to large steel I-beams as "twisted licorice" and vehicles as "mangled pieces of metal mixed together." Sometimes he couldn't identify destroyed material as a car until he noticed the tires.
A mangled car sits amid the rubble in a Moore, Okla., neighborhood. (Photo courtesy of Jim Camoriano)
State Farm has a national catastrophe services team that is specially trained in responding to disasters. Camoriano said team members, who deploy from across the country, will stay in affected areas for several months and work with regional insurance representatives in the rebuilding process of their customers' homes.
"What we initially did was we reached out to those hardest hit," Camoriano said.
Through State Farm's homeowners policy, the company provided additional living expenses, such as temporary lodging and food, to those most affected.
Camoriano told a story about a woman whose house was completely swept off its foundation. The only intact document her son found amid the rubble was her State Farm policy with her agent's name on it.
The next morning, her agent, Michell Dallal, met her at a church and delivered an additional living check. Camoriano said the document offered her a source of comfort and direction.
Camoriano worked in Joplin two years ago and said he thought the Oklahoma City tornado caused similar destruction. Both tornadoes were classified as EF5, the strongest classification.
What makes the Oklahoma City tornado unusual, he said, is the destruction of Plaza Towers Elementary School, which resulted in the deaths of seven children.
"That's what's very hard to come to grips with," Camoriano said. "To see all the devastation and see crosses in front of the school as a makeshift memorial — that was very emotional."
Camoriano is amazed at the amount of generosity he sees from the community. The willingness of the community to provide assistance, from giving out gift cards to offering to shovel debris, keeps spirits up, he said.

Along with providing temporary living essentials, State Farm employees have set up several stations where victims can file insurance claims. They have a command center in the parking lot of Moore's First Baptist Church where people can talk to claims representatives.
State Farm has four drive-up facilities, three in Moore and one in Shawnee, Okla., where people can receive compensation for damaged vehicles. Camoriano said most of the vehicle damage is from hail.
"We inspect (the cars) right on the spot and then give them checks so they can go straight to the repair shop," he said. "It's very efficient."
For damaged homes, State Farm assigns a claims representative to each of its policyholders who experienced minor to severe damage. After an initial inspection, the representative will work with the homeowner and local contractors to create a plan for rebuilding.
Camariano said this process can take months. He plans to stay in Moore for about another week before returning to Columbia.
He said he is encouraged by the immense amount of support from the community.
"The grief for many is overwhelming," Camoriano said, "but so is the community's response."
All that remains of this former home in Moore, Okla., is the brick fireplace. (Photo courtesy of Jim Camoriano)

This series consists of talks in the areas of Cosmology, Gravitation and Particle Physics.
Holographic cosmology maps cosmological time evolution to
the inverse RG flow of a dual three-dimensional QFT. In cases where this RG flow
connects two closely separated fixed points, QFT correlators may be calculated
perturbatively in terms of the conformal field theory associated with one of the
fixed points, even when the dual QFT is at strong coupling.
Realising slow-roll inflation in these terms, we show how to derive
standard slow-roll inflationary power spectra and non-Gaussianities through
After a brief overview of electroweak baryogenesis, I will show how to construct a solution of
the Dirac equation for a CP violating kink wall. This solution nicely reduces
to the known solution for a CP violating thin (step) wall. The novel solution can be helpful for studies
of baryogenesis sources at strong first order phase transitions, which is
relevant for electroweak scale baryogenesis studies.
In this talk I will
discuss a cosmological model where primordial inflation is driven by a `solid',
defined as a system of three derivatively coupled scalar fields obeying certain
symmetries and spontaneously breaking a certain subgroup of these. The symmetry
breaking pattern differs drastically from that of standard inflationary models:
time translations are unbroken. This prevents our model from fitting into the
standard effective field theory description of adiabatic perturbations. Consequently,
The de Sitter S-matrix provides a gauge-invariant and
field redefinition-invariant window into de Sitter QFTs and may provide a
crucial entry in any dS/CFT dictionary. In this talk I will summarize recent
progress on developing the S-matrix for theories with gauge fields and
perturbative gravity. Nonrenormalization theorems, hints of supersymmetry, and
perturbative stability will be discussed.
There are indications of a lower bound on magnetic fields
in the intergalactic media. Since magnetic fields on such large scales are
difficult to generate in the late universe, this might point to inflationary
magnetogenesis as the origin of intergalactic magnetic fields. If the magnetic
fields are generated during inflation, they are naturally correlated with the
inflaton perturbations in a general class of models. This leads to a
consistency relation between the power spectrum of primordial magnetic fields
Chameleon gravity is
a scalar-tensor theory that mimics general relativity in the Solar System. The
scalar degree of freedom is hidden in high-density environments because the
effective mass of the chameleon scalar depends on the trace of the
stress-energy tensor. In the early Universe, when the trace of the
stress-energy tensor is nearly zero, the chameleon is very light and Hubble
friction prevents it from reaching its potential minimum. Whenever a
particle species becomes non-relativistic, however, the trace of the
I review some recent developments in attempting to reconcile
the observed galaxy population with numerical models of structure formation in
the 'LCDM' concordance cosmology. Focussing on behaviour of dwarf galaxies, I
describe the infamous 'cusp-core' dichotomy -- a long-standing challenge to the
LCDM picture on small scales -- and use toy models to show how it is resolved
in recent numerical simulations (Pontzen & Governato 2012). I then discuss
the current observational status of this picture (Teyssier, Pontzen & Read
Cosmic voids are potentially a rich source of information
for both astrophysics and cosmology. To enable such science, we produce the
most comprehensive void catalog to date using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data
Release 7 main sample out to redshift z = 0.2 and the Luminous Red Galaxy
sample out to z = 0.44. Using a modified version of the parameter-free void
finder ZOBOV, we fully take into account the presence of survey boundary and
masks. We discuss basic catalog statistics such as number counts and redshift
There are many situations in cosmology that
motivate the study of scalar fields with higher-derivative actions. The best-known
such situations are probably k-inflation (with DBI-inflation being a special
case) and models based on galileon theories, but even eternal inflation and
cyclic universes provide good reasons to study such theories. After an extended
discussion of the motivations, I will show how scalar field theories with
higher derivatives can be constructed in (minimal, 4-dimensional) supergravity,
The question of finite range gravity, or equivalently,
whether graviton can have a non-zero mass, has been one of the major challenges
in classical field theory for the last 70 years.

I had an older calphalon pan which I dearly loved, even though it was not non-stick. These make it easier to cook up quick meals! I tend to do some gourmet and experimental recipes. These pans take the work out of frying and sauteeing!! Love the easy cleanup and foods don't stick but carmelize nicely!!
Your instructions say never stack these pans inside one another because it will cause damage to the cooking surface. My pans arrived packaged together - one inside the other - and yes, there appears to be some slight damage to the surface of the larger pan, the one in which the other was nested. You really should follow your own advice!!!! I have not yet used these pans because they arrived just before I left on a trip and I have only just returned. We will have to see if there is an issue with the marked pan.
Bought it on sale. Good solid construction, like the stay cool handles. Appears to have a good non stick surface and a flat bottom. Heats up quickly and cooks evenly.

My Brother washappy with them and will get around to using them soon .
I grabbed these as soon as I saw the country of origin! Was not the least bit disappointed. Maybe enough complaints reached the right people, finally. Great quality again and even on sale!! Had to replace these two omlette pans since the last ones did not last over a year, but was looking for something else since I was not buying another crummy quality product made in China. These did not have that infernal "greasy, slimey" film on them either. Thank you for bringing back Made in USA.
Love these little skillets. Easy clean. Even heating. Look great. Was able to get them because of great sale price. Love that lids were available to fit them.
Very pleased with product and delivery.
I love Calphalon pans they are great to cook with and last a long time.
Love it.
I love the omelette set this is my second order
Gift for my daughter and she loved. She made scrambled eggs and she said they were the best she ever made.
Cooking .com is great to order from. Fast service and a wonderful selection
Wonderful products, great service, quick delivery!
Would buy again best in the world
very versatile. I use it for daily cooking for many things (other than omelette). Easy to handle and very easy to clean.
I am delighted with the purchases I made. I use the pand daily and they are just what I wanted to cook with daily.
These omelette pans are well made and easy to clean. Just what I wanted.
love these omelet pans..easy to use, easy to clean, perfect size
I just ordered these pans. Best cooking and clean up afterwards was great. Just use paper towels and they are clean. I will definitely order the complete set now.
We take Consumer Reports and they listed the Calphalon fry pans as being a best buy. And they are really great. They clean up very easily.
Supposed to be fish washer safe, but it turns out that they've not
waiting a long time for this sale. anyone that cooks alot can appreciate quality cookware. makes cooking a pleasure again.

March 13, 2013, at 11:54 AM | By Tim Drake |
In an exclusive Catholic World Report interview, Bishop Robert Vasa, of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, speaks with Carl Olson about his decision to require all diocesan school teachers to sign an addendum to their contracts acknowledging that they are entrusted with the formation of souls and reject modern errors that offend human dignity.
Speaking with Olson, Bishop Vasa commented on what he sees as the particular challenges in Catholic parochial education. Said Vasa:
There is a challenge in coming to a clearer recognition and declaration of what is the purpose—the "Why?"—of our schools. Why are we here? What is our purpose? And since there are many schools out there competing with one another for things such as grants and gifts, "educational excellence" becomes the major banner. And it's not a bad banner, but it becomes the one that trumps everything else. So we want educational excellence, but how do we get to the central goal of wanting faith excellence? And Catholicism excellence? And that is not in contradiction to educational excellence. We have the means and mechanisms to do an excellent job on academics and education. Why can we not exert significant additional energies on the spiritual, catechetical, doctrinal, moral formation of youth in this context? Why can we not have Catholicism excellence, with the banner right there on the same level as educational excellence? We've sort of lost our purpose. And what I told the Catholic high schools last year at graduation was that there are a number of measures of the success of a Catholic school. We can look at how many students go on the college, how many receive scholarships, how many receive various communal awards—those are all wonderful measures, if you will, of the abilities of a school.
Continues Vasa:
But is that a good measure for us as Catholics to use in looking at a Catholic school, asking "Is this Catholic schoolbeing effective"? What is the criteria? Perhaps the criteria could be how many vocations to the priesthood and the religious life have come out of this religious institution in the last twenty years? How many students leave from here and devote two or three years of their lives to the Jesuit Volunteer Corps or some other evangelizing mission? That is a very good thing. I've seen Catholic colleges that post how many graduates are now priests and religious sisters. That to me is a measure of the success of a Catholic institution. Not the only measure, but an important measure.
Asks Olson: It brings to mind the saying, which is funny and yet not funny at all, "If you want your children to lose their Catholic faith, send them to a Catholic school."
Responds Bishop Vasa:
I want parents to have a passionate concern for the spiritual, dogmatic, moral formation of their youth, and I'm presuming that is why parents send their children to a Catholic school. And since I operate with that presumption, that imposes a responsibility upon me to make sure that the Catholic formation in that school is consistent with what the Catechism and the Holy Father proclaim to be the teachings of the Church. A failure to do that is an abdication of my responsibility.

Lost Savings from Obama's Delay on New Energy-Saving Standards Is $3.7 Billion and Counting
Over the past two years, the administration has missed deadline after deadline for completing new or updated standards for products ranging from microwave ovens to commercial refrigerators to industrial motors. These delays impose a steep cost.
In a new analysis completed this week by ASAP and ACEEE, we found that the delays to date for eight overdue standards will result in about 40 million metric tons of excess carbon dioxide emissions. Consumers and businesses will also lose—about $3.7 billion so far.
Our analysis shows that each additional month of delay means consumers and businesses will lose another $300 million in savings and another 4.4 million metric tons of CO2 will be loaded into the atmosphere. Based on EPA's climate change calculator, that's like needlessly burning 19,000 rail cars of coal each month…
