The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) recently announced that it has proposed listing two butterfly species under the Endangered Species Act because of "steep population declines." The two species are the Poweshiek skipperling (Oarisma poweshiek) and the Dakota skipper (Hesperia dacotae). The notice issued by the Service states that "[b]oth butterfly species use prairie habitat and are threatened by degradation or changes to their habitat." The Dakota skipper, which is proposed to be listed as a threatened species, is found in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Canada. The Poweshiek skipperling, which is proposed to be listed as an endangered species, is found in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada, In addition to listing the species, the Service also proposed designating critical habitat for both species. According to the notice issued by the Service, comments will be accepted on the proposed listings and critical habitat designations throughout December 23, 2013.

We have enhanced our SynProject Open Source tool, so that it is now able to generate its documentation as HTML, in addition to doc/pdf documents.
You can
take a look at this web page.
It contains the whole SAD 1.18 content.
The pdf is more than 16 MB, whereas this html page is only 6MB.
Note that all diagrams were embedded as SVG within the page content:
resulting file will be much faster to browse and download.
But it would require a modern Browser. For instance, older Internet Explorer revisions do not support SVG, but latest IE 11 does (as Chrome, FireFox, Opera or Safari).
We tried to implement some basic responsive design layout, for tablets or phones.
I hope this would help accessing the right information.
Do not forget there is the Table of Contents, and an index of KeyWords!

We almost finished implementing a long-standing feature request,
introducing MVC / MVVM for Web Applications (like RubyOnRails) in mORMot.
This is a huge step forward, opening new perspectives not only to our framework, but for the Delphi community.
In respect to the existing MVC frameworks for Delphi, our solution is closer to Delphi On Rails (by the convention-over-configuration pattern) than the Delphi MVC Framework or XMM.
The mORMot point of view is unique, and quite powerful, since it is integrated with other parts of our framework, as its ORM/ODM or interface-based services.
Of course, this is a work in progress, so you are welcome to put your feedback, patches or new features!
We will now explain how to build a MVC/MVVM web application using
mORMot, starting from the "30
- MVC Server" sample.
First of all, check the source in our GitHub repository: two
.pas files, and
a set of minimalist Mustache
This little web application publishes a simple BLOG, not fully finished yet
(this is a Sample, remember!).
But you can still execute it in your desktop browser, or any mobile device (thanks to a simple Bootstrap-based responsive design), and see the articles list, view one article and its comments, view the author information, log in and out.
This sample is implemented as such:
TSQLRestServerDB ORM over a SQlite3 database
|Mustache template engine in the Views sub-folder
|Defined as one
IBlogApplication interface
For the sake of the simplicity, the sample will create some fake data in its own local SQlite3 database, the first time it is executed.

Current version of the main framework units target only Win32 and Win64 systems.
It allows to make easy self-hosting of mORMot servers for local
business applications in any corporation, or pay cheap hosting in the Cloud,
since mORMot CPU and RAM expectations are much lower than a regular
IIS-WCF-MSSQL-.Net stack.
But in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), you would probably need to create clients for platforms outside the Windows world, especially mobile devices.
A set of cross-platform client units is therefore available in the
CrossPlatform sub-folder of the source code repository. It allows
writing any client in modern object pascal language, for:

We got a very instructive
discussion in our forums, with Silvio, the maintainer of the
Brook Framework.
Brook is a nice framework for writing web applications using Free Pascal.
It comes to my mind what mORMot can offer.
We did not want to compare the features or say that one framework is better than the other, but it appeared to me that a lot of object pascal programmers are tied to 20th century programming model.
In fact, to embrace the potentials of mORMot, you need to switch your mind, and enhanced your RAD and OOP background, into 21th century SOLID model.

Since Delphi 2010, the compiler generates additional RTTI at compilation, so
that all
record fields are described, and available at
By the way, this enhanced RTTI is one of the reasons why executables did grow so much in newer versions of the compiler.
SynCommons.pas unit is now able to use this enhanced
information, and let any
record be serialized via
RecordLoad() and
RecordSave() functions, and all
internal JSON marshalling process.
In short, you have nothing to do.
Just use your
record as parameters, and, with Delphi 2010 and up,
they will be serialized as valid JSON objects.
Of course, text-based
definition or callback-based registration are still at hand, and will be
used with older versions of Delphi.
But you could be used to by-pass or extend the enhanced-RTTI serialization, even on newer versions of the compiler.

a well-known logic-less template engine.
There is plenty of Open Source implementations around (including in JavaScript, which can be very convenient for AJAX applications on client side, for instance).

We just committed some nice features to the ORM kernel, and SynDB* classes of our mORMot framework.
During BATCH
insertion, the ORM is able to generate some optimized SQL statements,
depending on the target database, to send several rows of data at once.
It induces a noticeable speed increase when saving several objects into an external database.
This feature is available for SQlite3 (3.7.11 and later),
MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server (2008
and up), Oracle, Firebird and NexusDB.
Since it is working at SQL level, it is available for all supported access libraries, e.g. ODBC, OleDB, Zeos/ZDBC, UniDAC, FireDAC.
It means that even properties not implementing array binding (like OleDB, Zeos or UniDAC) are able to have a huge boost at data insertion, ready to compete with the (until now) more optimized libraries.

We have reduced PDF generated file size for all version of the PDF format, by trimming any uneeded space in the generated content.
We introduced a new optional
PDFGeneratePDF15File property for
even better compression, using advanced features (Object Streams and
Cross-Reference Streams) of the PDF 1.5 format.
This PDF 1.5 format needs Acrobot 6.0 and up to open them.
Which should be the case on your computer.
Can be up to 70% smaller for a pdf with a lot of pages with simple textual context.
I suspect our library is able to generate the smallest file size possible,
even in regard to other alternative libraries.
Open Source can be great, can't it?

I'm happy to announce that mORMot units are now compiling and working great in 64
bit mode, under Windows.
Need a Delphi XE2/XE3 compiler, of course!
ORM and services are now available in Win64, on both client and
server sides.
Low-level x64 assembler stubs have been created, tested and optimized.
UI part is also available... that is grid display, reporting (with pdf export and display anti-aliasing), ribbon auto-generation,
SynTaskDialog, i18n... the main SynFile demo just works
Overall impression is very positive, and speed is comparable to 32 bit version (only 10-15% slower).
Speed decrease seems to be mostly due to doubled pointer size, and some less
optimized part of the official Delphi RTL.
But since mORMot core uses its own set of functions (e.g. for JSON serialization, RTTI support or interface calls or stubbing), we were able to release the whole 64 bit power of your hardware.
Delphi 64 bit compiler sounds stable and efficient. Even when working at low
level, with assembler stubs.
Generated code sounds more optimized than the one emitted by FreePascalCompiler - and RTL is very close to 32 bit mode.
Overall, VCL conversion worked as easily than a simple re-build.
Embarcadero's people did a great job for VCL Win64 support, here!

Up to now, our
SynDB database classes were handling
ODBC, OleDB providers and direct Oracle or
SQLite3 connection.
We have added a
DB.pas based layer, ready to be used with
UniDAC, NexusDB, or the BDE.
Any other
TDataset based component is ready to be interfaced,
including UIB, AnyDAC or DBExpress.
The ZEOS library (in its latest 7.0.3
stable version, which works from Delphi 7 up to XE3) has also been
interfaced, but without the
DB.pas layer:
SynDBZEOS.pas unit calls the ZDBC layer, which is not
tied to
DB.pas nor its RAD components, and is therefore
faster. By the way, it will work also with the Starter edition of
Delphi (which does not include the DB components) - just like the other
SynDB classes.
This is a work in progress, any testing and feedback is welcome!
We had to circumvent some particularities of the libraries, but I guess we have something interesting.
A dedicated "SynDBDataset" sub-folder has been created in the repository, to contain all
SynDBDataset.pas-based database providers.
SynDBNexusDB.pas unit has been moved within this sub-folder,
SynDBUniDAC.pas +
SynDBBDE.pas units have
been added.
SynDBZeos.pas has a direct access to the ZDBC layer, so
is not part of the "SynDBDataset" sub-folder.
Here is some benchmark, mainly about Oracle and
SQlite3 database access.
Of course, our direct
SynDBOracle /
layers are the fastest around, and we can see that ZDBC layer is sometimes more
efficient than the
TDataset components.

Even if mORMot will be more easily used in a project designed from scratch, it fits very well the purpose of evolving any existing Delphi project, or even creating the server side part of an AJAX application.
One benefit of such a framework is to facilitate the transition from a Client-Server architecture to a N-Tier layered pattern.

Our SynPdf library was released as part of every mORMot
But the stand-alone .zip was still in 1.15 revision.
I have updated it, and now it reflects the latest version from our source
code repository (i.e. 1.18).
Open Source, working from Delphi 5 up to XE3.
Thanks to nice proposals - like those from Sinasa -
conversion engine from metafile content is pretty complete.
Font fallback has been introduced for glyphs not available in the current font, and some issues have been identified and fixed.
SynPdf unit can now link to standard ZLib.pas unit if you want to use it stand-alone and do not need our faster SynZip.pas + deflate.obj + trees.obj.

(this is an update of the article published in 2011/07)
For our mORMot framework, and in completion to our SynOleDB unit, we added a new Open Source unit, named SynDBOracle. It allows direct access to any remote Oracle server, using the Oracle Call Interface.
Oracle Call Interface (OCI) is the most comprehensive, high
performance, native unmanaged interface to the Oracle Database that exposes the
full power of the Oracle Database. We wrote a direct call of the
oci.dll library, using our DB abstraction classes introduced for
We tried to implement all best-practice patterns detailed in the official Building High Performance Drivers for Oracle document
Resulting speed is quite impressive: for all requests, SynDBOracle is 3 to 5 times faster than a SynOleDB connection using the native OleDB Provider supplied by Oracle. We noted also that our implementation is 10 times faster than the one provided with ZEOS/ZDBC, which is far from optimized.
You can use the latest version of the Oracle Instant Client
provided by Oracle - see this
link - which allows you to run your applications without installing
the standard (huge) Oracle client or having an
ORACLE_HOME. Just
deliver the
dll files in the same directory than your application,
and it will work.

We got some interesting feedback in reddit.
I looked at your website and it is a bit confusing to be honest. After browsing for five minutes I still can't figure out what it is that this framework is supposed to do. It seems like a strange mish mash of different unrelated libraries. You've got some client-server stuff. Some SQLite stuff, which doesn't really fit with client server stuff as it is not a server database. Then there is some PDF stuff.
What is the big picture? What does this actually do?
Such confusion does make sense. Our web site is split into forum, blog, source-code repository and tickets, some wiki pages.
Here are some points of orientation.

BALLO DELLA REGINA (created 1978, performed by Houston Ballet in 2010)
Music by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), from the opera Don Carlos Choreography by George Balanchine (1904-1983) Designs by Ben Benson Lighting by Ronald Bates (1932-1986)
Stager: Merrill Ashley
Ballo della Regina, a ballet for two principals, four female soloists, and corps de ballet, is set to the music of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Don Carlos. New York City Ballet premiered the work on January 12, 1978. George Balanchine choreographed the ballet to showcase the talents of New York City Ballet ballerina Merrill Ashley. Lincoln Kirstein, who with Balanchine co-founded New York City Ballet, wrote that the ballet seems to take place in a grotto, with reference through lighting and costumes to the original tale of a fisherman's search for the perfect pearl. "From Verdi's way of dealing with the chorus," Balanchine told biographer Bernard Taper, "I have learned how to handle the corps de ballet, the ensemble, the soloists, how to make the soloists stand out against the corps, and when to give them a rest."
Ms. Ashley commented, "Balanchine always seemed to take special delight in challenging me with difficult steps, and since he knew I excelled at moving quickly, he decided to make that the feature of Ballo --virtuoso steps at high speed. He highlighted all my strengths in Ballo, giving me a ballet that not only was challenging and fun to dance, but one that gave me the opportunity to communicate the joy of dance, which was my favorite mood to express on stage. Ballo epitomizes the essence of the technique that he advocated, as it requires extreme precision, clarity, speed, and expansive movement. Dancers who are not trained in the Balanchine style are always startled to find how much easier the steps are when they use the technique Balanchine advocated. His choreography is constructed with the idea that the steps will be done as he would have taught them. That is what makes the angles of the steps look best, and what makes the transitions from step-to-step possible at high speeds."
Ballo della Regina is one of the most technically challenging neoclassical ballets in the Balanchine canon. The piece demands dizzying turns with lightning-speed reflexes and is noted for the female lead's technically difficult allegro choreography.
Molly Glentzer, writing for the Houston Chronicle, described Houston Ballet's 2010 performance of Ballo della Regina as "kaleidoscopic magic". Julia Ramey from the Houston Press exclaimed, "Ballet classicists will savor Ballo della Regina, a George Balanchine classic set to operatic tunes!" (May 27, 2010).
Born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1904, George Balanchine is regarded as one of the greatest choreographers in the history of ballet and one of the 20th century's most innovative artists. Balanchine attended the Imperial Ballet School, St. Petersburg. In 1924 he toured Europe and joined Diaghilev's Ballets Russes as a principal dancer and choreographer. After moving to the United States in 1933 he became director of ballet for the Metropolitan Opera House and a founder, with Lincoln Kirstein, of the School of American Ballet. In 1946 the two men founded the company that would become the New York City Ballet, and in 1948 Balanchine was named its artistic director and principal choreographer where he served in that capacity until his death in 1983.

JARDI TANCAT (created 1983, performed by Houston Ballet in 2009)
Songs by Maria del Mar Bonet
Choreography, Scenic and Costume Design by Nacho Duato
Lighting Design by Nicolás Fischtel (A.A.I.) (according to the original design by Joop Caboort)
Stager: Hilde Koch
Jardí Tancat, which means "closed garden" in the Catalonian dialect, is set to Catalonian folk tales collected and passionately sung by Spanish singer Maria del Mar Bonet. With a sweet, yet passionate melancholy, these folksongs and their dance portrayal tell the story of the people who work the barren land, praying to God for the rain that does not come and enduring with great spirit in the face of hardship:
Water, we have asked for water
And You, Oh Lord, You gave us wind
And You turn Your back on us
As though You will not listen to us
Though Jardí Tancat was choreographed for classically trained dancers, its movement vocabulary is strikingly individual – and an exciting challenge for Houston Ballet artists charged with communicating the work's powerful feeling.
Reviewing for Explore Dance, Joseph Campana wrote, "The piece has about it the feel of folk or social dance, with its reliance on communal patterns of movement and emotion, but it also preserves the elegance of the balletic body. Whether wrenched into tormented shapes or twined about the bodies of their compatriots, the dancers found in this music the source of an electricity and necessity. It is hard to look away or to remember to breathe" (May 28, 2009).
Nacho Duato created Jardí Tancat, his first work, in 1983 while he was a member of the Netherlands Dance Theater, winning the first prize at the International Choreographic Workshop in Cologne. Born in Valencia, Spain in 1957, Mr. Duato started his professional ballet training with the Rambert School in London at the age of 18. To expand his studies he joined Maurice Bejart's Mudra School in Brussels and completed his dance education at The Alvin Ailey American Dance Center in New York. In 1980, at the age of 23, Mr. Duato signed his first professional contract with Cullberg Ballet in Stockholm, and a year later Jiří Kylián brought him to the Netherlands Dance Theater in Holland, where he was quickly incorporated into the company and its repertoire. In 1987, he received the VSCD Gouden Dansprijs (Golden Dance Award) for his achievements as a dancer.

ETUDES (created 1948, performed by Houston Ballet in 1987, 1990, 1992, 2000 and 2003.)
Music by Knudage Riisager, after themes of Karl Czerny
Choreography by Harald Lander
Lighting by Tony Tucci
Stager: Johnny Eliasen
Harald Lander's Etudes traces a ballet dancer's basic movements, the five positions of the feet and the simplest barre exercise, and develops in difficulty and in brilliance to a final cascade of turns and leaps. Inserted into the ballet is a pas de deux, frequently referred to as "the sylphide section," which recalls the nineteenth-century Romantic ballet of Denmark. Originally created by Danish choreographer Harald Lander for the Royal Danish Ballet in 1948, Etudes has entered the repertoires of the world's best companies, including the Paris Opera Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, English National Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet.
"Herald Lander's 1948 Etudes [is] a pure exercise in classical steps and technique," wrote Molly Glentzer in the Houston Chronicle. " Mimicking a ballet class, it begins with basic arm and leg work by a corps of tutu-clad ballerinas at the barre … Finally, it becomes a dazzling exhibition as the dancers jump in place, soar in jetes and spin through ever faster pique turns, pirouettes and fouettes," (May 27, 2000).
"Etudes is a very challenging classical work that is a benchmark for Houston Ballet and has been in the company's repertoire for over three decades. We last performed Etudes in 2003, and it will be exciting for our audiences to see how the company's classical technique has grown and evolved over the last decade," states Mr. Welch.
Etudes will be staged by the celebrated Danish ballet master Johnny Eliasen. Mr. Eliasen studied at the Royal Danish Ballet School, and danced with the company during the late 1960s and the 1970s, attaining the rank of soloist. A versatile dramatic performer, he created leading roles in Flemming Flindt's Felix Luna and Trio (both 1973) and Triumph of Death (1971). In 1987, he became ballet master of English National Ballet. In 1990, he was appointed deputy artistic director of the Berlin Opera Ballet, and in 1994, he returned to the Royal Danish Ballet as assistant artistic director, acting as temporary director from 1995-1997. For the last several years, he has taught and coached the dancers of Houston Ballet and its academy. In April 2008, he staged the company premiere of the 1849 Bournonville classic The Conservatory for Houston Ballet II's Spring Showcase performance. In 2008, Mr. Eliasen set his staging of La Sylphide on Houston Ballet's professional company to critical acclaim.
Houston Ballet last performed Mr. Lander's Etudes in 2003.

Re: Hunter 420 for a live aboard?
I would have to say a Hunter 42 would make a good liveaboard, it is a very spacious sailboat, and would have room for a good sized family on board. Have you had boats before? 42 is pretty big to start with, though I know someone who started with a 50 so it is not impossible. There are folks out there living on boats much smaller and smaller than 30 foot even. The costs to maintain a boat do not go up linearly with size, almost more like to the square of the size. So a 42 foot boat is going to cost a LOT more than a 30 foot, as everything on it will be sized bigger, and slips are not just by the foot but after a certain point more per foot. So I would say the smallest boat you can fit is the best place to start, it will be much cheaper to operate and maintain. It will also be easier to operate as well!
An example one of the local marinas charges 75 a foot per season up to 32 feet, but at 33 feet it jumps to 106 per foot so a 32 foot boat will be 2400 for the summer season, but a 33 foot will be 3498 and a 42 will be 4452 for the summer. So there is a big jump, besides the initial expense. Everything that needs to be replaced will go up almost exponentially with size. Rigging is not only longer, but bigger sails are way bigger and what not.
In mast furling would be a deal killer for me. While many people are happy with it, it can cause many headaches and hampers sail shape. The older systems do seem more prone to issues. Hunters are reasonable quality boats, made to a price point. I am not sure if the ones you are looking at have the "B&R Rig" or not, but again that is something I would not want, but many are happy with it. To me it is a solution to a problem that does not exist.

BOX 1-1 The National Research Service Award Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-348)
Sec. 102.
Sec. 472. (a) ... (3) Effective July 1, 1975, National Research Service Awards may be made for research or research training in only those subject areas for which, as determined under section 473, there is a need for personnel ...
Previous NRC reports have provided guidance to NIH and the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA) relative to the appropriate size and composition of the NRSA program. Recommendations have been made on the number of research training positions to be supported, and these recommendations have been used by NIH and ADAMHA staff during the budget formulation and by the U.S. Congress during the appropriations process (NIH, 1992). Once again the agency requested that NRC estimate the future demand for researchers, estimate the current supply, and, using estimates of the future demand and knowledge of the current balance between supply and demand, make recommendations on the appropriate size of the NRSA program.
In addition to these core activities, NIH also requested assistance in assessing the effectiveness of the NRSA program by gathering and analyzing information on such issues as the adequacy of current stipends to attract talented individuals into research careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Furthermore, the agency directed NRC to review the mathematical projection models of supply and demand used by previous NRC study committees and to establish their adequacy in addressing "national needs" issues in the 1990s. In response to this request, the committee developed a five-part study plan.
The first step in undertaking this study was to develop a list of fields that were understood to define each of six broad areas of training. The definition of the study population is critical to the success of this analytic effort because the field taxonomy (see Appendix B) establishes the categories for data analysis. Thus, the basic biomedical sciences are understood to include biochemistry, molecular biology, and the like, whereas the behavioral sciences include psychology, sociology, anthropology, and speech and hearing sciences. Field matching was then made possible among data bases maintained by NIH, the National Science Foundation, NRC, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and American Association of Colleges of Nursing, among others.
Field matching in the clinical sciences proved more difficult. As we embarked on the study, representatives of the dental research community indicated to us that they considered their field code too restrictive, not accurately reflecting the diverse nature of their research base. The committee, through its staff representatives, conducted extensive consultative sessions with staff of the National Institute for Dental Research (NIDR), and from these sessions the concept of "oral health research" emerged. A workshop was organized to assess the market for oral health research personnel and the results were incorporated in the committee's

Attitude took him from S.D. to D.C.
Without admitting guilt, Filner entered what's known as an Alford plea, paid a $100 fine and apologized in writing to Kunkel.
Those incidents raised eyebrows in San Diego, with opponents questioning Filner's fitness for public office and supporters dismissing his actions as "Bob being Bob."
Scandal erupts
Questions about Filner's temperament surfaced during the mayoral race. He was late taking the stage for a televised debate because he was upset about a pre-event coin toss. When District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis endorsed his opponent, Carl DeMaio, she called Filner "disruptive, disrespectful and demeaning, especially to women."
After Filner won, there were more eruptions. He berated City Council President Todd Gloria at a public meeting. He openly clashed with City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, interrupting one of his news conferences, slashing his budget and having the police kick one of his deputies out of a meeting. Two of Filner's top aides quit, citing an "abusive environment" in the mayor's office.
Rumors of sexual misconduct toward women swirled around the twice-divorced Filner over the years, but there were never any formal complaints, no official investigations, no public accusations, as he was quick to point out.
That changed on July 11, when former City Councilwoman Donna Frye and two San Diego attorneys, Marco Gonzalez and Cory Briggs, held a news conference to outline harassment allegations involving unnamed women and demand that Filner resign.
Initially contrite — "I need help," he said in a videotaped statement — the combative Filner soon returned, rebuffing calls that he step down, even as a steady stream of accusers, named now, came forward with stories of unwelcome advances and groping.
One of the last public statements he made was his written response to the recall petition, and in some ways it was classic Filner: Hard-charging talk about moving ahead, punctuated with four exclamation marks. "Now is not the time to go backwards," it read.
But it was finally time to stop.

And when is it a sign of reflux?
My LO has started spitting up a lot more lately - not necessarily right after a feeding either. Most days he'll have at least one spit-fest (3-6 spitups in 20-30 minutes) between feedings, and a couple of other random spitups. He can be lying down or sitting in my lap; it is sometimes during burping (which seems normal) but sometimes just totally random, just sitting/lying there. He'll soak through his shirt so I've started putting a bib on him whenever I can. Sometimes the spitup has curds of milk in it.

40 CFR 63.7944 - How do I determine the maximum HAP vapor pressure of my remediation material?
prev | next
(a) You must determine the maximum HAP vapor pressure of your remediation material using either direct measurement as specified in paragraph (b) of this section or by knowledge as specified in paragraph (c) of this section.
(1) Sampling. A sufficient number of samples must be collected to be representative of the remediation material contained in the tank. All samples must be collected and handled according to written procedures prepared by you and documented in a site sampling plan. This plan must describe the procedure by which representative samples of the remediation material are collected such that a minimum loss of organics occurs throughout the sample collection and handling process and by which sample integrity is maintained. A copy of the written sampling plan must be maintained on site in the facility site operating records. An example of an acceptable sampling plan includes a plan incorporating sample collection and handling procedures according to the guidance found in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication No. SW-846 or Method 25D in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
(2) Analysis. Any one of the following methods may be used to analyze the samples and compute the maximum HAP vapor pressure of the remediation material:
(i) Method 25E in 40 CFR part 60 appendix A;
(ii) Methods described in American Petroleum Institute Bulletin 2517, "Evaporation Loss from External Floating Roof Tanks,";
(c) Use of knowledge to determine the maximum HAP vapor pressure. Documentation must be prepared and recorded that presents the information used as the basis for your knowledge that the maximum HAP vapor pressure of the remediation material is less than the maximum vapor pressure limit listed in Table 2 of this subpart for the applicable tank design capacity category.
(d) In the event that you and us disagree on a determination using knowledge of the maximum HAP vapor pressure of the remediation material, then the results from a determination of maximum HAP vapor pressure using direct measurement by Method 25E in 40 CFR part 60 appendix A, as specified in paragraph (b) of this section, will be used to determine compliance with the applicable requirements of this subpart. We may perform or request that you perform this determination using direct measurement.

We had a lovely stay in this great house. It had everything we needed and has a fabulous location. The facilities in the complex are excellent and the Duque beach was wonderful. I would well recommend staying here.
For the price this property was sub-standard.
It was dirty, ill equipped, supposed to be for six but in fact only catered for two and look very tired and worn.
The management service were extremely good helping to put many things right, but the property was certainly not what you expect from the area it is in.
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing 3 weeks at the apartment with our 2 children aged 9 and 5 yrs.
We found the property to be very spacious, light, clean and airy. Althought not lavish or ultra modern, it was very comfortable with simple and practicle furnishings and had all the amentities and equipment needed, along with some added extras.
The master bedroom has a lovely spacious wrap-around balcony with stunning views of the surrounding coast and was a relaxing area to sit at early eveving.
The pool area was great for our kids and with it being right outside the patio area we could let them enjoy the freedome of being able to come and go as they pleased whilst also keeping on eye on them!
The surrounding area is lovely, on your doorstep is a great beach and coastal walks, along which are lots of restaurants and shops.
All communication and arrangements we made with Shane the owner were dealt with promptly and efficiently.
All in all we had a very enjoyable relaxing stay and would like to return in to El Beril in the future.
We recently had a wonderful stay at this villa. As we love the beach it is ideally situated. It is well furnished and equipped. Everything is provided including sun loungers, umbrellas etc. The owners were excellent to deal with and we would highly recommend it.
I have just had one weeks fantastic holiday in this lovely apartment. Although I have been to this area before this is in the best spot to appreciate the views out to sea from both downstair patio and even more so the upstairs balcony. From the heated pool you get lovely views up the mountains..
It was very clean on arrival and is equiped to a very good standard The pools are really good. It is very quiet and therefore suitable for all ages that do not want loud music and touts pestering you etc. You get privacy as the layout of the properties is very good.
I will certainly be recommending this apartment to all family and friends and hope to return there as soon as possible.
The surroundings are magnificent and if you want a really good meal with a good night of music then go to "La Torre del Mirador" it is the downstairs restaurant at the Mirador next to the exclusive beach. A British guy called Ged Roberts puts on a fantastic night every night except Sunday when the downstairs is closed. (It's the one with all the fairy lights inside and outside you can't miss it). It's not the cheapest place to go! but the food is superb.
My husband, daughter and I have just returned from an idyllic week in the above apartment. The location was perfect with a fantastic sea view from both balconies. The apartment was quite basic but had everything you need for a perfect week away. It was clean with plenty of space. There were only 3 of us (2 adults and a 5 year old) but the apartment could easily accommodate more. We will definitely return. Thank you Shane.
Very pleasant stay in the villa. It was very clean when we arrived. Equipment conform to the description. We return to this location. Ideal for a family. Very nice touch with the owner. For rent without hesitation ....
Costa Adeje has the largest concentration of 4 and 5 star hotels in Spain. Its golf course has recently been added to the PGA circuit. All this and still within easy waking distance to the centre of Playa de las Americas.

Use Your Mandate, an anonymous LGBT organization, has produced an ad against Chuck Hagel's nomination for Secretary of Defense.
The 30 second ad charges Hagel 'does not share our values' and is anti-woman, gay, and Israel. The spot ends asking viewers to urge senators to block the nominee.
There is some mystery about the organization because its members are in the shadows. An unmanned source told the Huffington Post 'those involved are choosing to stay anonymous because they are allies with the Obama administration and hesitant to criticize the president publicly or fear retribution or pressure from the White House.' The source added many of the individuals involved are people who' fought for LGBT rights for a long time.'
Paul Yandura of Get Equal, a LGBT political organization who publicly announced its displeasure with the Hagel choice, told BuzzFeed he did not know the people behind the ad.
'It's laughable that they want to stay anonymous because they are too chicken to criticize the president since they are his supporters,' Yandura said. 'Either this is a serious enough issue to call out the president or not.'
Last month Hagel apologized for comments he made as a Republican senator in 1998 when a gay man, James C. Hormel, was appointed by then-President Bill Clinton to be US ambassador to Luxembourg.
'They are representing America,' Hagel then said. 'They are representing our lifestyle, our values, our standards. And I think it is an inhibiting factor to be gay - openly aggressively gay like Mr. Hormel - to do an effective job.'
UPDATE: Allyson Robinson, executive director of OutServe-SLDN, sent the following email to GSN:
'At OutServe-SLDN, we are disappointed to see this kind of dirty politics make an appearance in the debate about who our next Secretary of Defense should be. Senator Hagel has appropriately apologized and has taken steps to build trust with our LGBT military families – specifically, by committing to extend the benefits that may be made available to them even while the so-called Defense of Marriage Act is still on the books. Much remains to be done – and we still look to Senator Hagel to speak out on other issues important to LGBT service members and their families – but anonymous, unaccountable attacks do nothing to move the ball forward for our brave LGBT men and women in uniform.'
OutServe-SLDN is an association working to bring LGBT equality to America's military.

Jane Diaz Hoop Earrings 99 99
Disappointing Earrings are very thin, look inexpensive but are not! May 16, 2015
Perfect Earring for Many Occasions I got the small, sterling silver hoops. They are the perfect size for me and can be worn with almost everything. I love the matt finish. They appear to be quite sturdy, yet light weight. I am seriously considering getting them in the gold as well. May 16, 2015
Disappointed in these I've noticed and loved these in the catalog for a while and finally decided to order. But, the clasp on one was really hard to open, and one of the clasps broke. I'm having to return. I love a lot of Garnet Hill products but these just didn't work for me. March 29, 2015
Beautifully designed There are not many days when I don't wear these earrings. They are elegant, beautifully designed, but simple. My favorite part about these is that they are easy to clasp (not many hoop earrings are). March 28, 2015
Worth it I had been admiring these for a long time and during a recent sale I finally purchased the small silver ones. I'm glad I did. They are unique, understated, and pretty. The size is perfect -- not so large as to get in the way, but large enough to be noticed. I did have an issue with the latch not fully closing on one earring but GH immediately sent me another pair and the issue was resolved. March 25, 2015
Should have listened.... They were nice, while they lasted. I had the small gold hoops which were larger than I thought they would be. Shiny bright gold, and though they didn't look like "real" gold, they were still very nice to wear and a good size. I had them for about two weeks, and then -- the clasp or the hinge must have broke because I lost one. I'm not one who usually loses earrings. It just doesn't happen. Previous reviewers commented on the clasp or the hinge. Perhaps that was what happened. I almost took my chances and bought a new pair (for then I would have 3, just in case!) but logic and practicality won out. I resisted. I was too disappointed the last time. Maybe this batch is better, I bought my pair before Christmas 2014. January 14, 2015

Right. You need to try to keep it straight exactly what you're whining and crying about though. If you want to cry about point striking, don't talk about how that's not the Diaz brothers. It's what they're known for, throwing weak punches in volume. I would rather get tagged over and over by Nick (I'd still die, I'm not a pro-fighter), than receive JJ elbows or the beating he put on Rua.

Cerrone will say anything to grab a few extra fans. He has done well under Greg's "go get yourself some fans" system. Bones could learn a lot from this guy.

+2. In fact, had he been a point fighter he could have used those trips to take Nate down and try and hold on to him. But he didn't. He fought him and went out on his shield.

IF Cueto and Volquez pitch all season the way they have so far the Reds will have a very nice season. There are some question marks ( catching, defense, middle relief ) but it is time for Reds fans to be excited.

Good thing I took the over on 78.5 wins.
I'll tell you what, with this team's starting pitching they have a legitimate shot at winning four out of every five games they play. Of course, we all know they won't win at an .800 clip, but after getting a first look at the rotation I wish I had been more optimisitic in my win-loss prediction. Mid to upper 80s feels more right now.
I think they have a good shot at finishing above .500. That's all I'll predict right now.

Lesson 1
Objective: The main characters in The Egypt Game had a fascination for ancient Egypt. The objective of this lesson is to gain an understanding of ancient Egyptian culture and religion to lay a foundation for the novel.
1. Class discussion and in-class activity. Have the class tell what they already know about ancient Egypt. Write the information on a board or flip chart. Is there anything that is missing that the class would like to know about? They can research the missing information.
2. In-class activity. Divide the class into groups. Have each group research a period of ancient Egyptian history (pre-dynastic Egypt (6000- 3000 BCE), the Old Kingdom (2700-2200 BCE), the Middle Kingdom ( 2050-1786 BCE) and the New Kingdom (1560-1087 BCE). Have each group do a multi-media presentation on their time period. While the class is reading the novel, they can take note what period in ancient Egyptian history...

An honest acceptance speechJanuary 16,2013I won! I won! And here I am, up here, looking down at all of you, and Im so nervous! Its terrifying to be adored during award season! I just dont know what to say!
Luckily, I prepared this acceptance speech.
First, I have to thank this esteemed body of voters, which has been giving me these awards since I was a child. People say this is a second-tier award, but I dont care, because everybody wants one anyway. Just look at that pop star across the room, glaring at me. She lost a few minutes ago, and now her soul is turning black.
Next, Id like to thank my team: My manager Bob, my publicist Sue I adore you, Sue my folks at ICA, my peeps at CVS, Ms. Prunetta, who makes all of my daily style and juice decisions, and Orville, who gets my groceries.
Also, I want to thank my fellow nominees. You have inspired me since I was a child a small child, winning multiple awards and when I watched you back then, which wasnt very long ago, I dreamed of doing all of the wonderful things you were doing, except at a younger age. You still give me ideas about career paths and fashion choices and plastic surgery dos and donts. If I could share this award with you, I would, but it seems to be welded together quite well, and after they send it out for engraving, its going to have my name on it. But every day, when I see it on my mantle next to all of my other awards, I am going to think of you.
Oh I forgot another member of my team! Im sorry, Im just so nervous up here. Pilar, who makes my smoothies. Pilar, you are my world.
To my friends, whom I allowed to watch me practice my craft, but forbid from giving any kind of criticism: You may never know how much you helped me. By seeing my work through your eyes, I gained the confidence of knowing that you are you, and I am me, and the world is working out extremely well that way.
To my family: You support me every day, and when I have doubts about myself, I bring them to you, and you tell me how ridiculous I am to see myself as anything but wonderful. To my new child: Thank you for existing, so that I can remind people that I have a new child, and that he is extremely photogenic.
To everyone elses children: You can go to bed now.
To my partners on this project: I wouldnt be here without you. You are like my family, except that we never had to cook for each other or have a normal conversation if we didnt want to. I also want to thank our crew, who are too many and obscure to mention by name. We had the most wonderful time together, didnt we?
To my grandmother, who taught me to follow my dreams. I know that for you, that meant marrying a boy who wore button-down shirts to work and chewed with his mouth closed, so Im glad Ive always been a broader thinker. Nana, I know that wherever you are, you are proud.
Wait! A member of my team, sitting in the back with the non-famous people, is doing some kind of semaphore. I What? Ohhh! I forgot to mention Sven, who arranges my shoes in alphabetical order by brand. Sven, life would not be worth living without your daily infusion of joy.
There is music playing, which I know means I need to wrap up soon, so I will end by saying that there are other awards shows coming, and I sincerely hope that the voters in those contests will be as wise and inspirational as the voters in this one.
Also, to any members of my team that Ive forgotten today: I promise Ill squeeze you in when I win my next award. And there will be a next award. Im sure of that.

An interesting conversation came out of my post on belief yesterday and I'd like to briefly touch on it.It's nothing new that many Witches adamantly deny that the Gods are to be worshipped but rather they are equals, allies, friends or even tools. I don't agree with this but I do get a bit peeved when it's suggested "real" Witches don't worship the Gods or that it's a "Wiccan thing," with the implication that anything "Wiccan" is somehow less.Here's what bothers me about this: the lore of … [Read more...]

Looking Towards Ephesus
Patheos' blogger Mark D. Roberts is looking at Ephesus through the lens of the New Testament. I'm finding this fascinating, because Ephesus is an ancient city that Christians and Pagans look at very differently. Today it's in ruins, a historical curiosity in present-day Turkey. When we think of Ephesus today, unlike Rome or Alexandria which have evolved and remained multi-faceted over the years, we think of religion.Christians think of Ephesus in terms of the Ephesian church, whom Paul … [Read more...]

Saint composer Tyagaraja says in one of his compositions that chanting the name of Lord Siva will save us from rebirth, rid us of suffering and dispel fear from our minds. To get huge benefits in this world, a lot of work is required.
But unimaginable benefits will come our way with minimum exertion by simply chanting His name.
There are just two aksharas in the name, and yet how very potent the name is! Just reciting His name will get us boons undreamed of. Likewise, the name of Rama is short and sweet but is powerful, said S. Janakirama Bhagavatar in a discourse.
In this world, how we live, and not the wealth or the importance we have in society, is important. Even as we go about our day-to-day life, we must keep thinking of God. The more we think of Him, the more detached we become from worldly pulls and cease to desire anything, except moksha.
Innate qualities
Focusing on God is difficult because the mind tends to go astray. This is because of the innate qualities we all have, which keep us from realising Him.
In view of our inherited traits, it is a misnomer to say that anyone is an only child. How can a man be an only child, when he is born along with qualities such as krodha, kama and other such undesirable traits?
Humans are distinctive in this respect, for there is no end to their desires. Animals are content if their daily needs are met. But humans, owing to their inborn qualities, are never satisfied with what they have. The more they have, the more they want to possess.
In his composition in praise of Siva, Tyagaraja urges us to worship Him using bilva leaves. The important thing to remember is that whatever we offer Him, we have to do so with bhakti.
Given that our minds always tend to wander and refuse to remain focused on Him, we should start chanting His name and meditating on Him, from a young age. We could start off with a few minutes of meditation, and gradually increase the duration.
The more we meditate on Him, the closer we get to Him, and the closer we get to Him, the closer we get to liberation.

Ten One Design iPad Pogo Connect Stylus Senses Hundreds of Levels of Pressure, Includes Swappable Magnetic Tip
Needless to say, the iPad Stylus market is beyond saturated. So it isn't often that we post on such things. However, we're willing to make an exception for Ten One Design. That, and we posted some news about this stylus, otherwise known as the Blue Tiger, back in March.
So not much has changed since we first told you about their iPad Stylus, which is now called Pogo Connect (3rd gen). It is fully compatible with Bluetooth 4.0, and as a result incorporates palm rejection technology, along with hundreds of levels of pressure sensitivity thanks to their Crescendo Sensor. Ten One Designs says that the Pogo Connect will activate "with 0 grams" of force – in other words you can nail the nuances or details with this stylus. Now, what makes this stylus better (pending an actual review) than other ones of the same ilk, is that it doesn't require an infrared dongle that plugs into the iPad's 30-pin dock. That means you don't have to worry about losing an instrumental piece, and it's future proof with other iPads since Apple is moving all of their mobile devices to the Lightning connector.
Although Ten One Design hasn't said for sure, we're assuming that the built-in LED light will continue to reflect the color that you're working with. They have confirmed that the tip is held in place by a magnet, which means you'll be able to purchase other tips down the road that will allow you to more easily implement a wider variety of brush strokes. And lastly, if you misplace your Pogo Connect, an included app helps you locate it using a radar like system, provided of course it is turned on and in range of your iPad's Bluetooth signal.
The 3rd generation Pogo Connect Bluetooth pen from Ten One Design ships October 31st, but is available for preorder now for $80.

It's pretty easy to avoid running aground in the BVI. If you've been through the ASA classes then you've learned more than enough about how to read a chart. You just need to use a little care, pay attention, and remember that the chartplotter is only an aid to navigation, it is not a substitute using your eyes and your brain.
As for weather, it's not likely to be bad, but one of the things about the BVI is that everything is pretty close by. See bad weather coming? Head for a secure anchorage and sit tight while it blows over. No big deal.
I would also say that I think most of those who are new to picking up a mooring probably over-think it. I know we did. In reality, it's pretty easy. The biggest trick is to get the boat to stop where the person at the bow can grab the pendant with the boathook. The first couple of times my wife either didn't give it enough reverse (so the boat went past), or gave it too much (so that we started backing away). Again, no big deal; we just went around and tried again. After a couple of times she had it down perfect.
From then on picking up a mooring was easy. Pull up, stop, pick up the pendant, thread a dock-line through it, cleat off, done. Piece of cake.
I'm sure everything is going to go fine for you and by the end of the first day you will realize that all of your concerns were for naught.
