To help you work out what will and won't run on your PC and to give you a general overview of how well it is performing, PC Advisor has introduced a free diagnostic tool. PC Performance Monitor profiles up to three computers, keeping you up to date with the goings on in your system's innards.
8. The System Monitor widget tracks the overall performance of a Windows-based PC or server. You can use the System Monitor to keep tabs on general system metrics (CPU load, memory consumption, I/O levels), identify bottlenecks and review trending data for up to a week at a time.
9. Choose your target system profile, then click the Results tab. System Monitor offers three profiles: Normal, Power User and Real-Time. Each profile alters the widget's results by adjusting the threshold values for the contributing factors, skewing the resulting compound. Define your own profile by selecting Custom.
10. The Tasks & Alerts widget allows you to configure a set of automated analysis tasks. They happen each hour, and you get an alert if a system exceeds one or more of the thresholds you define. You can configure your own tasks in a similar way as you can with the System Monitor and Process Monitor widgets.
11. Select your PC. For System Task, select Normal, Power User or Real-Time. Then choose from the following: CPU Index (alerts you if your PC is CPU bound); MEM Index (monitors memory usage); I/O Index (calculates the Peak I/O Contention Index); and Process Delay (alerts you if your PC is incurring a per-process delay).

A new film Begin Again from the director who brought us the music-infused movie that turned into the smash Broadway show Once. From Rotten Tomatoes,
The latest film from writer-director John Carnery (ONCE), BEGIN AGAIN is a soul-stirring comedy about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together. Gretta (Keira Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for New York when he lands a deal with a major label. But the trappings of his new-found fame soon tempt Dave to stray, and a reeling, lovelorn Gretta is left on her own. Her world takes a turn for the better when Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgraced record-label exec, stumbles upon her performing on an East Village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent. From this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration, set to the soundtrack of a summer in New York City.
Check out the movie Begin Again in our catalog.

Maybe you've heard Chris Yarger's story before. It has become uncomfortably familiar. After serving his country in the Persian Gulf War of 1991, he returned home to Abilene to resume his work as a ranch hand. He began to experience fatigue, nausea, loss of balance, rashes, joint and muscle pain, insomnia, and memory loss. The symptoms had no apparent cause. A doctor told him he was depressed, and over the next three years he took a variety of antidepressants. But he didn't get any better. He lost sixty pounds, quit his job, applied for Social Security disability, and was turned down. In 1998 he finally obtained disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs for an "undiagnosed illness," but not before he'd gone through the family savings and had to apply for food stamps.
"It would have been better if I had just been killed over there," says the 44-year-old Yarger with a caustic chuckle.
If Yarger sounds a little edgy, it's because he has spent the past decade in the crossfire of a fierce battle about the nature of his affliction—known most commonly as Gulf War Syndrome ( GWS)—and, more generally, about just what constitutes a disease and who gets to decide. The process is often far more political than scientific. Public attitudes, morality, economics—all can play a role. AIDS is a classic example. It has always been the same deadly retrovirus. But since it emerged in the early eighties, it has been marginalized as a "gay virus"; then canonized as a politically correct cause célèbre; forgotten as an epidemic conquered by wonder drugs; and re-marginalized as a Third World plague—all in the course of twenty years. Similarly, politics have been played with conditions ranging from chronic fatigue syndrome to attention deficit disorder to drug addiction. (Remember too, that we used to call homosexuality a disease, and in some quarters, the debate rages on.)
Yarger's problem is that his government insists that what afflicts him and an estimated 100,000 other Gulf War vets is mostly in his head, even though some research indicates that it is the result of wartime exposures to various chemicals, ranging from the common insecticide DEET to sarin nerve gas. The government's position is that what Yarger has is not a "specific disease"—a third party that invades the body and affects "typical" people more or less the same way. Instead, he has what medical historian Robert Aronowitz called an "individual sickness," in which at least some of the illness has to do with the person afflicted, especially his or her psyche.
Not that the Department of Defense hasn't taken vets like Chris Yarger seriously. Indeed, it has opened a special office to oversee GWS, poured hundreds of millions of dollars into scores of studies that prove that the ailment is probably psychosomatic, and withstood a considerable amount of criticism defending that position. As it happens, most of that criticism has come from Texans: Dr. Robert Haley, an epidemiologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, has led research efforts, and Ross Perot, Sr., and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison have led the battle of words to prove that GWS is, in fact, much more than a new variation of battle fatigue.
When I first began hearing about a Gulf War Syndrome, in 1993, the government was winning the argument. The complaints I heard from disabled vets who wanted me to write about their problems in getting treatment from VA hospitals were heartfelt, but the symptoms were so vague and various that they could have been non-service related; they also sounded a lot like the secondary effects of post-traumatic stress.
The issue became more contentious beginning in 1994, when Perot, having heard hundreds of such complaints himself, asked Southwestern Medical Center—to which he is an eight-figure donor—to develop some hard science on the cause of GWS. Haley, the chief of epidemiology there and a member of one of Dallas' more prominent medical families (his grandfather, father, and three brothers are also doctors), agreed to devise a primarily Perot-funded series of studies centered on 250 Navy reservists who had served all over the Gulf War theater.
At the time, Haley believed that the vets' problems were probably emotional. But the government studies troubled him. It seemed that doctors were just recording symptoms and not trying to find a pattern or a cause. So he imposed what epidemiologists call a "case definition"—just a hypothesis. He then obtained from the reservists detailed epidemiological histories, including their chemical exposures during the war, and compared them to a group of healthy veterans to see how they differed. Sure enough, when he analyzed the raw data with a sophisticated computer program, he found that the seemingly meaningless jumble of symptoms actually fell into three coherent syndromes, all known to result from neurotoxic damage. Moreover, the symptoms tended to afflict vets who had been exposed to three chemical agents present in the Gulf War theater: insect repellents and flea collars; sarin nerve gas, to which some vets were reportedly exposed when U.S. bombers destroyed an Iraqi chemical weapons storage area early in the war; and a third substance called pyridostigmine bromide ( PB), which, ironically, the soldiers had taken as an immunization against nerve gas. In the course of delineating these syndromes, Haley claimed that he also eliminated other potential chemical exposures—the infamous oil rig fires—and more important, stress, as causes of the syndromes.
Any one of the chemical exposures alone might not prompt the full range of symptoms, Haley found. But together they seemed to be responsible for a disorder known as organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy, in which chemical toxicity inhibits the actions of an enzyme critical to nervous system function. Haley advanced his work on other vets, including Chris Yarger. He identified the area of the brain affected—the left basal ganglia near the brain stem, an area that regulates such functions as balance and sleep—by performing magnetic resonance spectroscopy on some vets. Finally, he determined that the sick vets probably had a genetic susceptibility

Today, Governor Mark Dayton vetoed four lawsuit reform bills passed by the Legislature this week. The four bills—SF 149, SF 373, SF 429, and SF 530—would change how Minnesotans are able to sue corporations and businesses. All four bills were passed by the Senate last year. They were passed in the House last week and re-passed by the Senate on Wednesday.
Gov. Dayton had harsh words for the Republican-led Legislature saying the bills represent "legislative meddling" and accused GOPers of favoring their friends in business over other Minnesotans. Republicans argued the bills would improve the business climate in the state. In a letter to Senator Fischbach (R-Paynesville), President of the Senate, Dayton said the bills would not create jobs but would "set a dangerous precedent". The Governor said Friday that characterizing the package of tort reform bills as job creators was laughable. "Calling a crow a swan doesn't make it one," he said.
Republicans were disappointed with the Governor's vetoes. Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers (R-Maple Grove) said the Governor owes Minnesota business leaders an apology. "Let's get to work and let's do the right thing for Minnesota," said Senate Majority Leader David Senjem (R-Rochester).

The Ceylon Prime Minister, Mr. S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, has accused the previous Government of Sir John Kotelawala of having destroyed important papers relating to internal public security and possibly those relating to British bases in the country. "With the exception of some documents that were found inside the crevices of the desk, all other papers relating to internal public security service were destroyed by the previous administration," he told his weekly press conference in Colombo on June 13. As for the British bases, he said, "as Prime Minister and Minister of Defence and External Affairs, I have not been able to discover any documents relating to the use of Trincomalee and Katunayake by the British or any conditions under which they are keeping them. There is not one scrap of paper available. This is extraordinary conduct on the part of the previous administration." Reacting to the charge, Mr. J.R. Jayawardene, a senior member of the Kotelawala Government, denied that the Government of which he was a member had destroyed any document relating to the bases. He said, "There was no document whatsoever in regard to these bases. After Independence (in 1948) we asked the British Government to continue looking after Trincomalee and Katunayake on our behalf. It was a verbal agreement. They were there and we asked them to carry on."

the increase in unemployment actually matches quite well with the increase in time people can receive unemployment benefits
I was under the impression that once you stopped collecting unemployment, you were no longer counted as unemployed, whether that was true or not. In other words, the reason employment goes up as people hit the end of their unemployment checks is an artifact of the data collection process. Not that there aren't people who wait until the last minute to go back to work. Hell, I know a couple.

True, but you can always mine more. There isn't a shortage of gold in the world, it's just that most of it costs more to extract than it's worth.
If that ever changed, like, say, the way that aluminum suddenly became cheap, your gold-backed currency would experience... ill-effects.
And even if that never happened, the gold standard is not some cure-all for economic woes. The US was on the gold standard during the Great Depression, remember?

attic venting in winter
I have a 1915 20'x30' rectangular stick built home in southern Colo. The attic is maybe 2 1/2' high at its peak. There is a vent at each end of the attic plus 3 roof vents along the top. I can understand them being open in summer, but should they be covered/closed somehow in the winter? If so, do i crawl up into the attic and cover each hole with a board or something?
Yes, attic ventilation still applies in the winter. Primarily to alleviate the humidity contained in the contained air, which also would be preventative action to lessen the potential for attic mold beginning to take place.

Few documents have produced as much thoughtful change in undergraduate education as has Ernest Boyer's Carnegie Commission report 'Reinventing Undergraduate Education: A Blueprint for America's Research Universities', a document highly relevant to CU Boulder. Through authentic assessment, Boyer's scholarships of discovery, integration, and application may be effectively transformed into the scholarship of teaching.
One of the major trends in undergraduate education across the U.S. is broad recognition of the value of assessment activities which supplement traditional measures of student achievement such as course work and grades. Carefully constructed assessment tools, designed for specific student populations, frequently provide extremely valuable information to faculty with regard to their educational goals and objectives, information not obtainable by examining student transcripts. As a result of the 1999-2000 North Central Association (NCA) accreditation process for CU-Boulder, only one specific interim report was assigned to the campus: assessment. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education has also included assessment plans as part of the Quality Indicator System.
An Assessment Oversight Committee has been given the task of critiquing, supporting and re-vitalizing unit assessment efforts and of preparing a report to the NCA on progress and plans in this area of responsibility. Our premise is that outcomes assessment should, first and foremost, be useful to CU-Boulder and should help individual academic units
Assessment leads to curriculum change
As examples of student achievements here at CU illustrate, outcomes assessments help units affirm things in their curricula and courses that are going well. They also help identify things that are not going so well, and often suggest the kinds of changes that might be needed. About half of the CU-Boulder units doing serious outcomes assessment (and about 40% of all units reporting through the late 1990s) have identified areas for improvement. Seniors' performance in some areas may not be up to the faculty's expectations, or other aspects of the data may suggest changes that would strengthen the unit's undergraduate program.
For example:
Differences between units must be acknowledged
The diversity of CU-Boulder units is sometimes a problem in an enterprise like this one, but it is more often a benefit. Based on significant experience at assessment work on this campus spanning several years, we have learned several things.
The process would not have grown as well as it has without a certain amount of central monitoring, prodding, cajoling, assistance, and constructive feedback. However, the benefits of acknowledging units' differences and giving them control of their own outcomes assessment processes would be lost if there were too much central control. Keeping a balance requires constant attention.
Example Programs for Certain Degrees:
The following examples illustrate findings from a few units' most recent annual assessment reports. They are only examples--more details, and results from every unit, are in the individual unit summaries.
Designing, Improving, Implementing Assessment:
The methods, styles, strategies and aims for undergraduate student assessment can and should encompass a full spectrum of options: standardized national tests, special assignments embedded within senior capstone courses, portfolios and videotapes, specially designed competency exams, evaluation by faculty outside the unit or the Boulder campus, etc. For units who need to re-vitalize their assessment processes, we strongly encourage careful examination of the wide range of successful examples posted on the web. Members of the campus Assessment Oversight Committee can also serve as valuable sources of information.
Key elements for a successful assessment effort include (1) unit faculty buy-in plus a competent, conscientious unit assessment leader, (2) regularity of the process, (3) responsiveness to the results, and (4) adequate resources to accomplish the tasks at hand. Assessment goes to the heart of the academic enterprise: what have students accomplished academically and how well does that match what the unit states, for example, in the catalog? Clearly, faculty must control nearly all aspects of assessment for it is they who are charged with accomplishing academic achievement. If the faculty in a particular unit treat assessment as a make-work, unimportant enterprise, the practice will be a waste of time and other resources. On the other hand, those units with strong faculty commitment, demonstrate decided advantages and improvements in their programs. The effort needs to have stable, competent faculty leadership within each unit. When assessment results point up weaknesses, the unit faculty must identify actions to remedy those weaknesses, else the effort on assessment goes to waste. Assessment cannot be a sometime or irregularly implemented process and be effective. When assessment produces changes, the results of those changes also need to be assessed in a spirit of continual monitoring and follow up. Lastly, the campus administration must provide adequate resources to units to allow them to implement assessment plans and consequent actions, all aimed toward improved undergraduate education.
Some General Considerations and Difficulties Commonly Encountered in Senior Assessment Processes (Draft)
The PBA outcomes assessment website contains many links and connections to materials and models which may be useful to individual units as they work to determine the most appropriate and effective strategy for themselves. In very general terms here are some of the most common challenges.

Phil Jackson will have the final say in all New York Knicks' basketball decisions as James Dolan "willingly and gratefully" ceded some control of the organization.
Cablevision Systems Corp. directors were sued by an investor for wrongfully approving "grossly excessive" compensation for Chairman Charles Dolan and members of his family who serve as executives of the fifth-largest U.S. cable company.
The New York Knicks owner has reportedly banned Woody Allen from Madison Square Garden's VIP lounge.
James Dolan is enjoying a triple success story as chairman of the Madison Square Garden Co., less than a year after being vilified by New York Knicks fans.
Anxiety grips National Basketball Association employees whenever the elevator stops on 15, home to the corner office of Commissioner David Stern.
Cablevision Systems Corp., the fifth- largest U.S. cable company, asked police to remove people from its annual meeting today after shareholders protested the company's union pay policies.
The New York Knicks' hiring of Hall-of-Fame coach Phil Jackson is seen as another move to fortify the Madison Square Garden Co. unit after a $1 billion overhaul of the Midtown Manhattan arena.
On his first day as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers in 1999, Phil Jackson pulled Shaquille O'Neal aside and offered him a deal. Do it my way, Jackson said, and I guarantee that you'll win the National Basketball Association's Most Valuable Player award. If you don't, enjoy free rein on the court.
"I am a fan, but my expertise lies in managing companies and businesses."
- James Dolan on Mar 18, 2014

This may put you off your favorite midnight snack after a late night visit to the drive-thru. It's been proven that there's not a lot of chicken in what we loosely define as "chicken nuggets." In fact, the majority of it is fat, skin, connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves and bone fragments. Sorry if this wrecked your lunch.

Published in Home & Food
Keywords: Chicken nuggets, ingredients, study, nutrition
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - In fact, the nugget you're eating may only contain 40 to 50 percent meat. A new study analyzing chicken nuggets from two major fast-food chains have come up with the most unappetizing list of ingredients.
Don't get this wrong. All of the above ingredients, bone shards and all, are safe to eat - but understandably don't give the consumer good nutrition.
"I was floored," Dr. Richard deShazo, a professor of medicine, pediatrics and immunology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center where the analysis took place says. "I had read what other reports have said is in them, and I didn't believe it. I was astonished actually seeing it under the microscope."
White chicken meat is ostensibly one of the healthier fast foods options out there. An excellent source of lean protein available, doctors often encourage their patients to eat it.
"What has happened is that some companies have chosen to use an artificial mixture of chicken parts rather than low-fat chicken white meat, batter it up and fry it, and still call it chicken. It is really a chicken by-product high in calories, salt, sugar and fat that is a very unhealthy choice. Even worse, it tastes great and kids love it and it is marketed to them," he said.
Working with Dr. Steven Bigler, a pathologist at Baptist Health Systems in Jackson, Mississippi, deShazo stained, fixed, sliced and analyzed the nugget sections.
The physicians reported that meat constituted about half of nugget No. 1.
"The nugget from the first restaurant was composed of approximately 50 percent skeletal muscle, with the remainder composed primarily of fat, with some blood vessels and nerve present. Higher-power views showed generous quantities of epithelium and associated supportive tissue including squamous epithelium from skin or viscera," they wrote.
"The nugget from the second restaurant was composed of approximately 40 percent skeletal muscle. Here, too, there were generous quantities of fat and other tissue, including connective tissue and bone spicules."
DeShazo says that the study wasn't intended as a comprehensive study of nuggets from all major fast-food chains. Nor do the results from two randomly selected nuggets from two prominent chains represent all chicken nugget offerings available.
The National Chicken Council representing the U.S. chicken industry backs up these claims.
"This study evaluates only two chicken nugget samples out of the billions of chicken nuggets that are made every year," Ashley Peterson, Ph.D., the NCC vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs said.
"It is not scientifically justifiable to make inferences about an entire product category given a sample size of two."

Just got back from my Florida vaca. This house of yours was unbelievable. Very pretty and neat. Too bad we were there only for two days and couldn't enjoy the house fully. We just used our time in the pool with all the kids. The games will have to wait ;) until we get back to Orlando sometime in the future. Its pretty amazing how well kept this house is.
Thanks again, it was wonderful,

"One word to sum up this villa...... PERFECT !!!"
Choosing a villa was quite a hard task to ensure that the whole family enjoyed their vacation in Florida.
It needed to be centrally located to all the main parks, be furnished to a good standard & have enough to keep the children of 10 & 13 years old occupied on our relaxing days between parks.
After hours of research, we found Villa Londra which on paper ticked all the boxes.
We were all delighted when we arrived at the villa. The description & photos on the website were all spot on.
The villa was clean, well kitted out & the pool was lovely (many an hour spent relaxing in it!).
Within minutes drive there is everything you could hope for - supermarkets, gas stations & many places to eat.
The parks we went to were all within easy access (Universal, Sea World & Busch Gardens).
Right from our initial enquiry on the website, Jan was very helpful & very professional - nothing was too much trouble.
After having had the best vacation ever, we are now saving to return in 2014.

It was a pleasure to have you as our guests. We are looking forward to welcoming you back in October. :-)

"very enjoyable villa with fantastic access to Disney"
we stayed in Villa Londra from the 17th-31st July 2012. After a 9 hr flight it was great that the villa was only 20 minutes from the airport and also only 20 minutes from the Disney parks. The Villa itself was very spacious with all the mod cons. We really enjoyed the pool area as did the kids, and of course the privacy of the villa.
I would recommend any family to stay at this villa, and save yourselves trawling through the hundreds of villas on offer. First class!
It was a pleasure to have you as our guests, we would, of course, be delighted to hear from you again in the future :-)

The AppleSox smacked 14 hits to help out their injury-riddled pitching staff, and Kane notched a West Coast League-record 12th save to close out a tense 7-6 win over the Kelowna Falcons on Monday night. 1 year, 11 months ago

Current Ajax Amsterdam interim manager John van't Schip has been linked with the job at Melbourne's second A-League club.
Melbourne Heart are believed to be close to naming their inaugural coach ahead of the new franchise's first season in 2010/11.
Canadian-born van't Schip represented the Dutch national team in the late 80s and early 90s, recoding 41 caps with the Oranje and also spent time as the national team's assistant manager from 2004 to 2008 under Marco van Basten.
It is understood that Melbourne Heart are keen to fill the vacant head coach position by the end of October and van't Schip is likely to fly from Holland for interviews with the board.

By: Aaron Moberger, Harpoon Purchasing Manager & Chairman of the ESOP Committee Published:
Happy National Employee Ownership Month! As you may know, in August Harpoon became employee-owned. It's very exciting, but it can be a bit complicated to understand, so we put together the Harpoon ESOP Communications Committee to help us as we embark on this new adventure at the brewery. As Chair of the Committee, I was asked by our digital marketing team to write a piece about our first few exciting months of employee ownership at Harpoon.
The first question folks generally ask is, "What does ESOP stand for?" ESOP stands for Employee Stock Ownership Program. It is a mechanism by which a company contributes to its employees' retirement by allocating shares to them which it repurchases at fair market value upon cessation of employment. What a mouthful. I promise that is as dry as this post will get. However, I would encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about employee ownership to visit the ESOP Association and the National Center for Employee Ownership for further reading. Ownership culture has been a provocative topic recently and in light of its pertinence I have found much of this information to be compelling.
In general craft brewing and employee ownership naturally go well together because employees in the industry are passionate about their jobs, products, coworkers, and customers. Indeed, one of the great rewards of working at Harpoon is that everyone goes the extra mile for one another and for the satisfaction afforded by a job well done. Employee ownership completes this virtuous cycle by giving back again down the road. Still, it's not just about the dollars and cents (it takes years to access one-hundred percent of one's allocations through a process called vesting) and there are reasons for everyone to be excited right now. Employee ownership reinforces our commitment to one another and to our customers. Our friends at Hypertherm (an employee owned company in Hanover, NH) like to say, "Work like an owner; think like a customer." For us this means that for every beer brewed, the brewer asks if it's a beer she or he would like to drink; for every label designed, the designer asks if she or he would be proud to see it on the table of a friend. In selling company shares to the ESOP, our founders and senior managers ensured that this culture of commitment continues to thrive in the ever-changing craft beer market.
So what did we do to celebrate our first ownership month as employee owners? Brewed a beer, of course! We put our heads together to come up with an idea that depicts this exciting new chapter in our story while recalling fun times past. This had to be a beer we all wanted to drink; it had to be balanced and faithful to our house character; and it had to reflect our positions as employee owners. We started with our classic Golden Lager recipe. 2-row pale malt and carapils impart a brilliant straw color, crisp malt flavor, and medium body, and Cascade hops in the kettle supply most of the 22 IBU target bitterness. This balanced combination sets up an ideal background on which to showcase the earthy nuances of six different varieties of finishing hops--Cascade, Willamette, Fuggles, Chinook, Centennial, and Newport--all grown in our own employee owners' backyards, from Vermont to Pennsylvania! The final product is an extremely quaffable brew which displays another side of our homegrown talent – and is called Harpoon EHOP.
I hope that this post has helped to explain some of the reasons we are so excited about employee ownership. Cheers!
By: Adam McQueen, Digital Marketing Director Published:
Adam has been the Digital Marketing Director at Harpoon's Boston brewery for the past 2 ½ years. In early October, he decided to fulfill a dream of living in the Pacific Northwest and moved to Seattle. He will continue to work remotely for the brewery this fall, just with a raincoat on at all times. Read about his beer-centric cross-country journey below.
I don't usually take advice from Toby Keith. I'm from Boston after all – the most un-country city in our union. Yet, there's truth in his Should've Been a Cowboy lyrics, isn't there? "Go west young man, haven't you been told?"
The American West has a certain allure. For settlers in the 1800's, it meant gold, adventure, and a new, more prosperous life. But is that spirit still alive today? As someone searching for his next move this past summer, I was ready to find out. The west was calling and I listened.
I packed up my car, sold off a good chunk of belongings, and made an epic playlist. It's 3,100 miles from Boston to Seattle – that's a lot of open road! Now the modern day westward journey doesn't involve a Conestoga wagon or fording rivers or your family battling dysentery, thank God! But there's still a TON of vastly diverse landscape along the way and what seems like an endless amount of time to let your mind wander.
Hailing from a brewery, my thoughts naturally migrated to the junction of beer and wagon travel (I mean, why wouldn't it?). But going down this path unearthed a startling realization…. my predecessors went too long without fresh, local beer! I vowed to correct an obvious wrong and drink their share along the way. So, in addition to plotting out the "must see" places like the Tetons and Yellowstone, I added as many breweries, watering holes, and craft beer stores I could to my trip. It was only logical and someone had to do it.
On the shores of Lake Michigan, I traded (with my brother, it's not 1850!) Harpoon for state favorites Bell's and Short's. With a name like Huma Lupa Licious, how could you not? In Wisconsin, after a 12-hour drive, I took the advice of a local grocer and unwound with a New Glarus Moon Man. A trek around the Black Hills of South Dakota would not be complete without a stop at Miner Brewing Co. Enjoying a can of Pile O' Dirt Porter from Crow Peak will work too! You get the picture…
And so it continued, each stop had it's own unique offering and a proud local brewer to tell their story. Yet, it wasn't just the brewers singing the praises. It was the local people too. There is a great connection between beer and place. It tells the story of local culture, geography, and history. It's offered to family, friends, and newcomers when they visit. And it's often what you long for when you travel far away.
I can finally attest to that. I was always fascinated by Boston transplants who consistently post on our Facebook page about missing Harpoon and waiting for our beer to be available in their area. While three weeks away from the Hub hardly counts as dire, I am starting to see what they mean. Harpoon will forever remind me of my home. It's part of my roots. It's part of my Boston pride.
When I finally arrived in Seattle, I savored my last Harpoon IPA on the banks of Lake Union and wondered when I'd enjoy this beer next. I'll be longing for one from the wet coast (pun-intended) all winter. Now who's jumping in a wagon and hauling some more out for me?!
Parting note: Best name of the trip is a tie between Quilter's Irish Death from the Iron Horse Brewery in Ellensburg, WA and basically the entire lineup from the Kettle House Brewing Co in Missoula, MT. Nailed it!

Pune: When the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) announced tax rebates in the financial year 2009-2010 for housing societies that had rainwater harvesting projects, it hit the nail on the head. From the 44 housing societies that came forward by March 2010 for the five per cent rebate on property tax, the number shot up to 452 by the end of March 2014, an unbelievable 1000% jump, in barely five years. This year the department is expecting the number to double, as compared to previous years.
"We expect at least a 1,000 applications by March 2015," said Hemant Nikam, head of PMC's property tax department.
The rebate announced in 2010 is meant for residential complexes or bungalows that have either one or a combination of the following — rainwater harvesting system (RWHS), vermiculture, and solar energy projects. The PMC encourages projects such as RWH, as they help in compensating for water supply shortage.
Hemant Nikam, head of property tax department of PMC explained, "There is tax rebate for environmentally friendly and renewable energy projects. For rainwater harvesting, the PMC gives a property tax rebate of 5 per cent at the end of the financial year. An approximate amount of three-and-a-half crore is being rebated in the past five years to societies and bungalows having a proper RWH system."
In rupees, it means that on an average a two-BHK flat that pays Rs8,000 towards annual property tax, the rebate amount is Rs400. Put together an average housing society of 100-odd flats and a neat sum is saved annually — money that can be used for the society's development such as maintenance of club houses or getting new equipment in society gymnasiums.
Vimannagar's residential complex Green Land has been receiving rebate since 2010 and recovered the total cost of installing the RWH system — Rs28,000 — within four months.
The complex comprises 57 flats and each saves an average of Rs400. "Within four months, the dependency on water tankers reduced as the ground water got recharged and borewells started getting used. The cost of employing water tankers reduced and the annual rebate on property tax was like a bonus received," said Arjun Jagtap, a society member.
With the increasing demand for water supply, given the city's increasing urbanisation, population increase and stretching geographical limits and the dam capacity unlikely to change in the next couple of years, experts agree that RWH is the best solution to make societies self-sustainable.
"The current requirement of water for Pune city is increased to 16 thousand million cubic (TMC) and the graph will never go down. While the catchment area or the capacity of the four major dams will remain the same and the ground water level is depleting, rainwater harvesting is the best alternative choice," said Shashikant Dalvi, an expert on RWH.
Benefits of Rainwater harvesting project:
- Avails property tax rebate of 5 percent to owners of individual bungalows as well as flats
- Compensates for shortage of water supply or low availability of ground water
- Minimizes the need of calling water tankers in case of water shortage
- Simple to maintain and can be installed at any rooftop
Steps to apply for property tax rebate:
- An application for inspection of RWH system installed should be handed over to the Building Permission Department
- After the inspection by a chief engineer, Building Permission Department, a Non objective certificate will be handed over
- Submit an application to the Property Tax Department along with the NOC certificate to claim your rebate

Meet the Fisker Karma
Fisker has been teasing us with its hybrid GT since 2008. Now, at last, we wrestle the Karma off him and give it a once-over
Posted: 24 Feb 2011
But even he would have to admit that it's been quite a wild ride to end up where he is today, standing on the verge of launching his global empire, just 37 months after first showing the concept Karma to the world at the 2008 NAIAS in Detroit. In those three years since he wowed the world with his new car, Henrik and his partner, Barny Koehler, raised a billion dollars, set up a global dealer network and got 3,000 people to put down deposits for a car that had never moved a wheel under its own power. All this, despite the implosion of the global car industry.

Environment: Content from Across the ABC
28 May 2015 4:49:47am
I personally as a physicist with an interest in global warming, and many others, have spent much time over the last few years, attempting to draw the "climatologists" and modellers into just a "one on one" debate via email. Disappointlingly, none is willing to participate and on being drawn on their evidence that carbon dioxide is causing warming, they can only quote "We believe that most of the increae in global temperatures during the last half of the twentieth century was very likely due to increases in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide." or point to the melting ice and changes in temperature. This is not science, this is "belief". (Ref. IPCC AE4 2007; CSIRO "Climate Change in Australia -2007. Other scientists whose work also demonstrates that CO2 will not do as claimed, have attempted to have debates organised in many forums, such as on the ABC but to no avail.
You should check out these things before making broad sweeping statements.

Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) privilege escalation on Windows-based Workstation, Player, ACE and Server (1009826)
A vulnerability in the vmci.sys driver might allow privilege escalation on Windows-based hosts.
This vulnerability affects the following applications if installed on a Windows system:
- Workstation 6.5.0, 6.5.1, 6.5.2
- Player 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 2.5.2
- Server 2.0, 2.0.1
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-1147 to this issue.
The vulnerability can be corrected by installing an updated VMCI driver. The updated VMCI driver and instructions on installing the driver are documented below.
A similar vulnerability is present on Windows-based guests. See Security Advisory VMSA-2009-0005 for more information.
To install the updated VMCI driver on the host
The following steps show how to replace the VMCI driver on Workstation 6.5.2, Player 2.5.2, ACE 2.5.2 and Server 2.0.1.
- Install VMware Workstation 6.5.2, Player 2.5.2, ACE 2.5.2 or Server 2.0.1.
- Login to the system as Administrator.
- Stop the VMCI service.
a. Open the command prompt. For Windows Vista and Windows 2008 select Run as administrator to open the command prompt.
b. Type sc query vmci.
c. The STATE will display Running. If the STATE is not displayed as Running, proceed to step 4.
d. Close VMware Workstation or VMware Server and any applications that are using the VMCI service.
e. Type sc stop vmci.
- Download the appropriate driver for your system:
- After the download is complete, check the md5 checksum of the zip file against the following:
VMware Workstation 6.5.2, VMware Player 2.5.2 and VMware ACE 2.5.2 32 bit vmci.sys md5sum f5bc7ee411c22cbb0e60a354711578fd Sha1sum 7bb99c3665a7a9861a9a2e584250762dd6e6ad36 64 bit vmci.sys md5sum 9d5f02b328a7e2c3f38b5cce46a65028 Sha1sum 4303204647e5d997c01f4b8a499895e4b4bdea37 VMware Server 2.0.1 32 bit vmci.sys md5sum ca17fb9de2e66ac967cf8bea1facfbf1 Sha1sum ede6eb64c0751165aae07f9dbcd72a69f9f1ddbd 64 bit vmci.sys md5sum c2655bab1a3ea6495b691933c4489617 Sha1sum 361536a68fa75b5594a8322822a80698c3fe478c
- For a 32-bit host, copy the 32-bit vmci.sys driver to %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers
For a 64-bit host, copy the 64-bit vmci.sys driver to the VMware Workstation Server installation directory. The path is similar to the following examples:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Server
For a 64-bit host, you must also copy the 64-bit vmci.sys driver to %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers.
- Restart the system.
- Verify the version of the new driver.
a. Right-click on vmci.sys and open the Properties window.
b. Compare the File Version and the Product Version with the tables below to confirm the patch is applied correctly.

I'm torn because my family always comes first, but I also have these ideas and opportunities and the iron is hot and I'm not getting any younger and this is my time, bitch. I'm riddled with guilt just typing that, because society and my upbringing and all that bullshit has programmed me to believe I'm a mother now, so I'm supposed to sacrifice my own dreams for everyone else's. But I'm determined to try my best to fuck that noise and do it all, even if I don't do any of it perfectly. I'd rather live with failure than regret.
This may sound a bit structured, but it will help family and friends who don't see you that often to understand the event and how your special occasion unfolded. If you are combining written content with photos or a video. Try to keep the number of words to seven hundred (or less). This seems to be the magic number before people start to drift off when reading online.
Just in case you missed the first trillion times I mentioned it: giving birth was really hard. Now I am about to give birth again. This time, to a book. In some ways, giving birth to a book is harder than giving birth to a baby. Everyone loves your human baby because it's an innocent party in all of this. But many will hate your paper baby, because you made it, and you suck.
Getting an epidural is a very individual decision and probably one of the first ones that we, as mothers, feel conflicted about. I wonder if this is due to our actual expectations around our child's birth or if it is how we think we will be perceived if we opt in (or out) of using drugs to manage labour.
I for one would schedule a C-section. Before all you mothers out there gasp and accuse me of being too posh to push, hear me out. My vagina has always been there for me, through thick and thin. Some of the best times of my life have involved my vagina. We have a very close bond. So don't I owe my vagina the decency of avoiding such brazen butchery?
It's no secret that women today are waiting longer to have children. This naturally decreases the opportunity for spontaneous pregnancy, especially for women in their mid- to late-thirties, leaving many couples seeking treatment for infertility. Fortunately, there are viable, safe, and effective natural options to support and boost your fertility.
Recently the medical community has become concerned that many women overestimate their chances of conceiving if they delay childbearing into their late 30s and 40s. To be honest, the way this issue is being dealt with irks me. Should we really be encouraging women to settle down before they are ready, and marry, not for love, but to ensure they have adequate time to procreate?
