60 thoughts on "EPIC FAIL"
I share much of the concern voiced here, but:
1) As Scalzi put it over on his blog "There's no such position as 'President of the Left'".
2) People who like the Law and sausages shouldn't see how either is made.
The point should be obvious. If you listen to completely reasonable arguments…"They" are right to want to listen in, and "You" are right to not want them to. The catch is in there is no really good compromise. Sucks that "unreasonable" is a little hard to define. The government goes to extraordinary lengths to protect you from intrusions that you don't even know about them having the capacity to make. That's not really something to brag about, however. This makes an outstanding smokescreen, though.

"EPIC FAIL" is not only failing to understand your constitution; getting yer dates wrong certainly applies as well.
The Bill of Rights, of which the Fourth Amendment is part and parcel, was not ratified until 1791.
Has anyone gone to any Obama sites and asked why he voted in such a way?
First off, I am disappointed in the result of the vote on this bill, and I'm disappointed that Obama didn't make a bigger stance on the immunity issue. But I'm more troubled about the increased domestic wiretapping ability the gov't will have now than about potential civil lawsuits against AT&T et al.
However, I figure Obama was being a pragmatist here. Not voting on a bill this big is cowardly. Voting against it gets you labeled by Rovian opponents as being "for the terrorists." BO was left with little choice as his campaign moves to the center for the general election. (Note to those upset about this move: it happens in both parties at every presidential election. It's not new. Get used to it.)
I'm disappointed with the Dems in the Senate, but let's be realistic here. To all those who say we have a "Democratically controlled Senate," look at the party breakdown: 48 Dem, 48 Rep, 2 Ind. Does it look like anyone really controls it? Yes, they have majority status and all the power that comes with it, but when it comes down to voting they are still very much balanced out by the Republicans.

p.s. Wil, I saw David Sedaris (isn't he a gem?) and I was able to pass along your thank you. He said you're welcome. :p
Umm so what's going on? The 4th amendment is dead? How does the 4th amendment go again?

|Saints | Three RBs on Saints' roster
Wed, 04 Mar 2015 16:29:11 -0800
Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Pierre Thomas' (Saints) release by the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, March 4, will save $1.735 million against the salary cap, and he carries an $830,000 "dead money" charge. Thomas would have counted $2.565 million against the salary cap this year. The Saints currently have three running backs on roster: RBs Khiry Robinson, Edwin Baker and Tim Hightower. RBs Travaris Cadet and Mark Ingram are both scheduled to be free agents.
Fantasy Tip: The release of PT cruiser isn't unexpected, since his role had quickly diminished over the last couple of seasons. If Ingram isn't re-signed, Robinson will have a clear path to the lead-back duties in New Orleans. And in an offense as potent as this, that'll make him very intriguing to fantasy football owners. Robinson could head into 2015 as a low-end RB1.

|Saints | Khiry Robinson missed opportunity
Tue, 13 Jan 2015 07:17:32 -0800
New Orleans Saints RB Khiry Robinson was slated to have his role increased before he suffered a fractured forearm midseason.
Fantasy Tip: With Mark Ingram an unrestricted free agent, Robinson and Pierre Thomas could enter 2015 in a platoon. Both would be RB3 targets in traditional drafts, but Robinson could sneak into the RB2 range due to his youth and potential for a featured role.

|Saints | Khiry Robinson probable for Week 14
Fri, 05 Dec 2014 14:28:21 -0800
New Orleans Saints RB Khiry Robinson (forearm) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is listed as probable for Week 14.
Fantasy Tip: Robinson is expected to play after missing several weeks because of his forearm injury. Robinson could be eased back into the offense and receive limited snaps this week. Robinson has a price of $3,000 on FantasyScore but should be avoided by owners this week.

|Saints | New Orleans RBs practice
Thu, 04 Dec 2014 15:07:18 -0800
New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram (ankle, toe) was limited in practice Thursday, Dec. 4. RBs Khiry Robinson (forearm) and Travaris Cadet (hamstring) participated fully.
Fantasy Tip: Ingram ($6,800, 13.6%) should still get the majority of work out of the backfield with Pierre Thomas ($5,500, 11%) and Cadet likely being used mostly on passing downs. Robinson's usage may be limited after his prolonged absence, so it's best to stay away from him this week. Ingram and Thomas are the best bets for success against a subpar Carolina Panthers run defense.

|Saints | Khiry Robinson does some work
Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:35:35 -0800
New Orleans Saints RB Khiry Robinson (forearm) was limited in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Fantasy Tip: Robinson is expected to play, and will likely be eased back into the lineup in Week 14. Robinson is a bit of a risky play with Mark Ingram playing so well in front of him. He should be avoided in FantasyScore for the time being.

|Saints | Khiry Robinson to be eased back in
Mon, 01 Dec 2014 14:51:17 -0800
New Orleans Saints RB Khiry Robinson (forearm), who is expected to return in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers, is expected to be eased back into the backfield, especially since RB Mark Ingram has done well in a leading role. RB Pierre Thomas also returned a week ago. Ingram rushed 23 times for 122 yards in the Week 13 win, which was his fourth 100-yard game with Robinson out. Robinson was running well before he was hurt, and his 5.2 yards per carry rank second in the league if he was eligible.
Fantasy Tip: The Panthers present a juicy matchup for the Saints running backs. Unfortunately, it won't be wise to use Robinson, even at what should be a cheap FantasyScore price, until he's back in the running back rotation receiving substantial touches.

|Saints | Khiry Robinson expected back in Week 14
Sun, 30 Nov 2014 16:08:37 -0800
New Orleans RB Khiry Robinson (forearm) missed another game in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but head coach Sean Payton said Sunday, Nov. 30, that Robinson is expected back in Week 14. His expected return means the team is not interested in free-agent RB Ray Rice (Ravens). "We like our running back depth and...if you'll do a little research, Khiry's coming back next week," Payton said.
Fantasy Tip: Robinson might be back soon, but he is a far from a useful FantasyScore option due to the amount of backs surrounding him.

Fri, 28 Nov 2014 15:21:10 -0800
New Orleans Saints RB Khiry Robinson (forearm) has been ruled out for Week 13.
Fantasy Tip: Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas and Travaris Cadet will split time as usual out of the backfield, though, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been better than average against the run this year.

Thu, 27 Nov 2014 13:53:15 -0800
New Orleans Saints RB Khiry Robinson (forearm) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
Fantasy Tip: Robinson probably will miss another game because of his forearm injury. Robinson should not be an option in any league as long as he is dealing with the injury.

Working with a Singapore private investigator may be one of the best moves that you can make. There are many times in our lives when nagging questions weigh on us. However, in certain situations, you are not able to put those questions out of your mind, and you simply have to make an effort to uncover the answers you seek. A skilled Singapore private investigator can help you to find the answers that you need with greater speed and ease. However, before you contract the services of a local private eye, there are a few things that you should learn.
The work of a Singapore private investigator is often glamorized in TV shows and movies, and many people view a private eye as an almost rogue-like law enforcement professional who works off the grid. The fact is that many Singapore private investigator professionals are former law enforcement officers and detectives. They largely work within the realm of the law and use their legal and criminal justice experience to assist with your needs. These services are commonly thought of in relation to catching a cheating spouse committing adultery. However, this is just one of the many ways that a Singapore private investigator may help you. Consider that an investigator can be used to help you investigate almost anything that you want to know. You may have lost track of a dear friend, want to find your birth parents, need to know if your business partner is involved in illegal activities or need to learn other information. If you have something that needs to be investigated, a private eye can assist with those needs.
Many Singapore residents have an eye on their budget, and it makes sense that you would not want to pay for services that you could easily do on your own. It is true that you could begin conducting your own investigation, and if you are like most who reach out to a Singapore private investigator, you already have started your investigation. However, many people find that their investigative efforts only provide a minimal level of results. A Singapore private investigator is highly skilled, and you will find that you enjoy better results when working with an experienced professional.
While working with a private investigator in Singapore can provide you with superior results, there are times when using professional services is crucial. In some cases, you may simply want to find a person because you miss them, or you may be curious about someone's actions. However, there are many situations when you need to obtain strong, irrefutable evidence of a person's actions. For example, you may need to obtain solid proof of a cheating spouse to negate or support a premarital agreement. Perhaps you need to learn more about your business partners' actions to protect your company and financial livelihood. Keep in mind that you can investigate these matters too, but many people may notice your attempts to investigate them. When this happens, they may make an effort to be even more secretive or to cease their activities altogether. This can hinder your ability to find the answers you need.
Why Experience Matters
The fact is that anyone can grab a camera and start tailing someone. In certain situations, this may provide you with all of the evidence you need. However, most investigative needs must be performed by a skilled and experienced Singapore private investigator. Experience in the field as well as in related fields like law enforcement can be used to more effectively conduct a background investigation as well as to more effectively maintain a covert status while working in an undercover situation.
The Right Equipment for the Job
You should be aware that not every Singapore private investigator offers the same caliber of services, and one aspect of the services they offer lies in the equipment they use. Some cases are solved without the Singapore private investigator venturing into the field. Computer research and phone calls may be all that is needed to give you the answers you seek. However, many cases are solved through a combination of a background investigation and some type of surveillance. The best surveillance equipment can drastically reduce the length of time your investigation takes, and it may help you to obtain the best evidence or data possible.
Getting the Process Started
If you believe that you would benefit from using the services of a Singapore private detective, you should first take time to find a skilled, experienced professional to work with. Some information may be obtained by visiting company websites for different investigative services. However, you may also consider reading reviews and contacting professional references. After all, you want to ensure that the professional who you choose to work with is highly professional and has the ability to provide you with the results you seek. When you are ready to proceed with the process, call the company to schedule an initial consultation.
What to Expect
A private investigation is a process, and the process will vary on a case by case basis. During your initial consultation, your Singapore private eye can provide you with more insight regarding your own investigative needs. Some cases are resolved quickly, and this may even be over the course of a few days. Other cases, however, require significant legwork, travel to other areas, interviews with different people and more. When your investigation requires more in-depth work, you can expect the process to take several weeks or longer.
If you have questions that have been looming on the back of your mind, there is no better time than the present to start getting answers. Many Singapore residents will try to get a few answers to their questions from their own investigative efforts, but you will enjoy better results when you contract professional investigative services for your needs. Simply take time to locate a skilled, experienced private eye in Singapore as a first step. Soon, you may have the answers that you have been looking for.

My autobiographical memories fit the general pattern described in your feature (6 October, p 36): I have few before the age of 5 or 6. But my wife has many memories before 5 and even one before 1. In 1980 she recounted for the first time a memory of being held in her mother's arms and seeing a silver horse in the moonlight at the side of their house.
Her 81-year-old mother remembered the 1934 event - a horseman repaying a loan which had saved his house in the Depression - and was shocked, declaring: "You were only 10 months old."

Predict the ocean's biogeochemical response to and its influence on climate change;
Predict the variability in the structure of the phytoplankton community and its links with higher trophic levels as well as ocean biogeochemistry; and
Develop the scientific basis necessary to manage the sustainable resources of the coastal marine ecosystem effectively.
To address these three objectives, the remote sensing community has developed an evolving suite of satellite sensors to collect measurements of ocean color in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The basic measurement of phytoplankton biomass relies on the strong absorption of visible light by chlorophyll (the primary light-harvesting pigment), which peaks near 443 nm (Gordon and Morel, 1983; Kirk, 1994). This absorption characteristic is a robust feature across a broad range of productivity levels in the world's oceans.
The challenge for spaceborne sensors is that 80 to 90 percent of a satellite-sensed signal originates in the atmosphere (Gordon and Morel, 1983). Much of this atmospheric signal is Rayleigh (or molecular) scattering, primarily from stratospheric ozone. After accounting for satellite and solar geometry for a particular scene, it is relatively straightforward to make corrections based on knowledge (or estimates) of extraterrestrial solar radiation, ozone concentration, and atmospheric pressure. However, aerosol scattering, primarily from hydrophilic particles in the marine boundary layer, is a much more complex process. It varies strongly as a function of time and location. Because it is not yet possible to make direct measurements of these aerosols and their contribution to atmospheric optical properties, the remote sensing community has relied on an indirect approach. Because the ocean is largely "black" in the red and near-infrared portion of the spectrum, it can be assumed that any radiance measured at these wavelengths originated in the atmosphere and was not backscattered out of the ocean. Relying on ratios between the remaining wavelengths, the spectral dependence of aerosol scattering can be propagated down to the short wavelengths in the blue portion of the visible light spectrum.
The atmospheric correction schemes have matured considerably over the past 20 years since the launch of the first ocean color sensor, the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS), on Nimbus-7. The original atmospheric schemes relied on locating a "clear-water pixel" where chlorophyll concentrations were low and the spectrum of water-leaving radiance therefore well known. The atmospheric correction for this clear-water portion of the image was then extrapolated across the entire scene. Obviously there are serious limitations to this approach; for example, there may not be a low-chlorophyll pixel in the image, or atmospheric properties may change significantly within an image that covers nearly a million square kilometers. The next step was to enable pixel-by-pixel correction, thus eliminating the need for an imagewide correction and a low-chlorophyll region.
As analysis and processing of CZCS data continued, it became apparent that the atmospheric correction schemes had to accommodate multiple scattering by molecules. The first-generation algorithms assumed that a photon would be scattered only once. However, at low Sun angles or at the edge of the sensor swath, the probability of multiple Rayleigh scattering increased substantially. Moreover, post-CZCS sensors— e.g., the Sea-viewing Wide Field of View Sensor (SeaWiFS)—have substantially higher signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), which means processes such as Rayleigh-aerosol scattering become significant. Atmospheric correction algorithms for the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) incorporate an approach to these issues, and researchers are using algorithms to explore the effects of absorbing aerosols in the stratosphere, especially sulfate aerosols associated with large volcanic eruptions.
Based on these processes, a minimal band set for atmospheric correction can be defined. First, bands should be positioned to avoid specific absorption features in the atmosphere such as water vapor and oxygen. Second, at least two bands with some minimum spectral separation are necessary to characterize the spectral trends with sufficient accuracy. Lastly, bands should be placed in the near infrared (NIR) as noted above. A recent report by

The dual cam system of the Mathews and Mission bows is not that complicated. If you don't want to shoot a limb actuated rest then there are others like the Rip Cord SOS rest. It should not change the timing on a bow's cam. I just put one on my Z7 Mag and I was impressed how easy it went on using a their provided football clamp on the upper moving cable. I just followed their instructions and it was on and tuned for broad heads in less than 25 arrows.

John Capello working on a mural in the Masonic Temple in Sag Harbor. Photo by Michael Heller.
By Mara Certic
Aesthetes, historians and wanderers drop into the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum to learn about the village's history and admire art shows curated by well-known East Enders. The majority of them are unaware that as they absorb the exhibits on the first floor, artist John Capello is just one story above them, balancing on a chair on top of scaffolding, listening to opera and painting Sag Harbor's own Sistine ceiling.
"I just cannot abide a blank wall," said Mr. Capello, a mural artist from Brooklyn who has lived in Sag Harbor for the past 25 years. Six years ago he joined the Wamponamon Lodge, Sag Harbor's Freemasons. Since his first meeting in the Masonic Temple—located on the second floor of the Whaling Museum—Mr. Capello has been "pestering" the other masons in the organization to allow him to create a mural for the blank wall and curved ceiling in the back of the meeting room.
After presenting the group with a basic pencil-drawn sketch, he got the okay to get started and in June he began creating a surreal water- and skyscape sprinkled with traditional Masonic symbols.
"I started on Friday, June 13," he said. "And I did that on purpose." The number 13 has traditionally been associated with bad luck in many cultures. Scholars of the masonic tradition (and the occasional conspiracy theorist) have referred to the number 13 as a masonic "signature," noting that it appears in some way or another in strange and mysterious places, including on the $1 bill: 13 leaves in the olive branches, 13 arrows and 13 stars in the crest above the eagle, among many other "mysterious" uses of the number.
One of the main focal features of Mr. Capello's work in progress also appears on the $1 bill: the all-seeing eye atop a pyramid, which is featured on the left side of the mural. "One of the most amazing achievements of early man was the pyramids, it's perfect," he said. The all-seeing eye dates back thousands of years, since the creation of a "sky god," the artist explained. On the opposite wall is the square and compass, perhaps the most identifiable emblem of the Freemasons.
The painted pyramid and the square and compass both sit upon a checkered floor in Mr. Capello's mural, reminiscent of a chessboard. "Supposedly, this room represents a replica of the bottom floor of Solomon's Temple," Mr. Capello said of the masonic meeting room. As legend goes, before Nebuchadnezzar II destroyed the building during the Siege of Jerusalem in 587 BC, it featured a checkered floor in one of the many rooms.
"Also, I've always been a surrealist," he said. "And in surrealism, the chessboard is always the game of life." His background in surrealism allows for interesting and unusual combinations of symbols throughout his mural. A six-pointed star hovers over the sea that bridges the two sides of the mural as a Bible floats over the water and a man canoes nearby—a nod to the Native American name of the Sag Harbor Lodge.
The sky spanning over the mural moves from night to day as you look across the piece of art. Mr. Capello explained that he wanted to represent the entire day, and that his decision to include many stars and certain planets is a nod to the importance of astronomy.
He almost lost his footing for a second on Tuesday, as he shaded in Mars while consulting a volume of "Hubble's Universe," about 15 feet off the ground.
"When I was 19, I was doing this 60 feet up in churches," the artist said. "I guess there's a big difference between being 19 and 60." When he was 16 years old, Mr. Capello began a summer apprenticeship doing ecclesiastical restoration, which was his first venture into the art world. A few years later he joined the Navy.
He told a story of when he was stationed in Greece, and how he observed an old man sketching pictures of visiting sailors for spare change. While watching this, a uniformed Mr. Capello found himself sketching pictures on napkins with the only drawing tools he had—burnt matches. The older Greek man came over, he said, looked at his handiwork and said to him "No, no, don't be an artist, you make no money. Be a photographer, you can make a few dollars."
But Mr. Capello did not heed that advice and eventually became a mural painter based out of Brooklyn. "I did a lot of work with the Brooklyn Arts Council, and we would work with Brooklyn College and art students," he said. As graffiti took over New York City, "we would approach people with walls."
"I said 'Look, we'll paint the wall, you just pay for the materials.'" It's a payment plan that Mr. Capello is recycling for his current project, his first ever mural in Sag Harbor. Mr. Capello expects to finish the Masonic mural in the next month. Until then, he will spend four hours of every day balancing on a chair, touching up waves in the sea and adding stars to the sky.

On October 10th Locust Moon Press will partner with Dark Horse Comics to release the long-awaited science fiction fairy-tale anthology ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE. More than just a vivid and varied assortment of cartoon fables, the book represents the culmination of three years of community and collaboration in Philadelphia and beyond.
ONCE UPON A TIME MACHINE is the first major release from Locust Moon, a comic shop, small press and art gallery in West Philadelphia. The project began in the summer of 2009, when Locust Moon's creative director Chris Stevens hatched the idea for a collection of futuristic stories based on classic myths and fairy tales. He began reaching out to local creators like James Comey and Robert Woods, and established an online presence to make contact to artists and writers across the world.
By 2010, Stevens and his partners Josh O'Neill and Justin Postlewaite had established Locust Moon Comics, a book shop that became the headquarters and ground zero of the graphic novel's creation. More than a retail store, Locust Moon became a meeting place for artists, writers, sculptors, animators and musicians from the Philadelphia area. By the time editorial wunderkind Andrew Carl had signed on as the book's editor in chief, the spark ignited by Stevens' enthusiasm had become a wildfire. Pages were pouring in from Arkansas, London and Nigeria while a vital local art scene began to build around their West Philadelphia location. Artists pulled all-nighters in the store, customers became collaborators, established creators like Ryan Ottley, Brandon Graham and Jill Thompson signed on and a project that was once a lark became something much bigger.
An internet buzz began to build about the book, and in January of 2012 an unexpected email came from Dark Horse Comics. This little fledgling book, a project begun with no money, no artists, no scripts, and no legitimate prospects, just a glimmer in the eye of some passionate Philadelphia cartoonists was about to become a major release from one of the biggest comic book companies in the world.
"Locust Moon is a place built on the passions of a lot of people," says publisher and co-owner Josh O'Neill. "It's living proof that with an open heart and open doors you can create something much bigger than the sum of its parts." Many of these parts will be on display at the October 10th book release party, which will feature a gallery show of original pages from the book, signings by dozens of the book's authors, and a general feeling of almost apocalyptic celebration and comeraderie.
Editors Note- As someone that has personally been to Locust Moon Comics, I have to say that it is hands down one of the classiest establishments that the comic book industry has to offer. There are very few comic shops with the personality and sense of community that Locust Moon seems to exude effortlessly. If you are in Philadelphia or the surrounding area, I cannot recommend stopping into the shop highly enough!

Reviews of Rochester Deck or Porch Contractors
Rochester, NY
Fast, expert, polite, honest, reliable, extremely high quality work done and high quality materials used. Doug responded to my call within half an hour. His estimate was accurate and his explanation of what needed to be done was clear enough for an inexperienced home owner to understand. He supervised the jobs closely, and his team was just fantastic. They worked quietly, were careful about clean-up, and finished two big projects in an astonishingly short time. My neighbors are hugely impressed, as am I. I definitely recommend using Do It All Contracting.
Rochester, NY
I would definitely hire Gene again! What a great guy! The quality of the work was excellent and he listened to what I needed and was very courteous, professional, honest and got the job done quickly and neatly. Hire Gene! You won't be disappointed!

The GrampsI love my gramps! He is 87 and lives with us and almost everyday he calls for help on his computer or tv because for some odd reason they just keep doing weird things. He can never figure out why they only mess up when I am not around...lol He gets so frustrated and I feel bad for him and I tell him he did not grow up in the age of computers like my kids so it will not always be easy for him to figure it out.

Employers can find comfort in a recent decision from the Third Circuit, which serves to remind us that we can (and should) discipline employees for policy violations--regardless of whether the employee is in a protected class.
In 2007, while investigating a complaint of sexual harassment, the employer discovered that six employees had regularly exchanged sexually explicit pictures via their company-provided email accounts. All six employees were immediately suspending pending further inquiry. Four of the six employees were subsequently terminated. Each of the terminated employees was in their late 50s or early 60s at the time they were fired.
The four employees then filed suit in federal court in the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleging that they were terminated because of their age in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"). The District Court granted summary judgment to the employer finding that the employees had failed to demonstrate that "but for" their ages, they would not have been fired. The employees appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
To carry their burden on appeal, the employees needed to offer evidence of age bias in order to show that the reason offered for their termination (i.e., the misuse of the company's email), was merely a pretext for unlawful discrimination. The employees contended that they could demonstrate pretext because they'd been subject to discrimination in the past. They alleged that the following incidents were representation of a culture of age bias:
- after asking one of the four employees, Magdic, if he was ready to retire, the company's CEO said, "it looks like you are ready to retire. You have gray hair and are fat;"
- one of the employees, Crossan, was transferred to a different position because the employer wanted "new blood" in the department;
- the CEO mentioned the need to recruit a "younger workforce;" and
- during meetings, older supervisors sat at one end of the table and were routinely interrupted when they tried to speak, whereas younger employees were encouraged to speak.
The Third Circuit rejected the various evidence proffered by the employees, finding each to be either a stray remarks that were "completely unrelated" to the investigation of the employees' violation of the company's email policy.

Ever wish you had an extra day in the week to run errands, go to appointments, spend time with family or just chill out? The employees at Thayer Dental Laboratory have just that thanks to the lab's four-day workweek adopted in 2005.

When Daxton Grubb joined his father Randy's laboratory in 2002 after working at a Fortune 500 company, he had already learned a thing or two about employee motivation. "The company set unrealistic goals and only managers were rewarded for good performance. I was determined not to make the same mistake here," says Grubb.
While 20 to 30% of R-Dent's managers' compensation is based on their department's net profit, Daxton also has sales and incentive programs for all employees. First, there are monthly incentives:...

The team members at Twin City Dental Lab in Lewiston, ME, are so tight, they worked together to build their own laboratory.

So in 2003, Owner Michael Adkins purchased land and broke ground for a new laboratory.
Devoting nights and weekends to the project, the 16 employees—along with spouses and...

To accompany Energy Minister Fergus Ewing's delivery of the keynote speech at the opening day of the European Wind Energy Association offshore wind conference in Amsterdam, Marine Energy Science launched its new research report for Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish waters. This is the first stage in the process to identify potential new areas for offshore wind energy.
The conference attracts more than 7,500 participants and over 480 exhibitors. The areas identified and the new research announced to develop offshore wind are designed to be attractive to inward investment.
However, the announcement at an extraterritorial conference of 15 new areas identified in Scottish waters for offshore windfarms – albeit aka research – is likely to cause alarm at home, faced with this information in what can only feel like a fait accompli.
The new areas could support a further 10 Gigawatts of development and are additional to the plans already in place for 10 Gigawatts of offshore wind around Scotland.
The report will now be followed by more detailed Regional Locational Guidance to provide industry, including those in the supply chain, with the best knowledge to locate their activities in Scotland.
Mr Ewing also announced a new £5 million offshore renewables R & D programme, using European Regional Development Funds, to be taken forward by Scottish Enterprise.
The programme will help minimise costs and risks in the offshore environment by supporting research and development, prototype development, innovation and commercialisation activities involving small and medium sized enterprises.
Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead said: 'The Scottish Government is working with public and private sector partners to support green energy developments and the reindustrialisation of Scotland's communities.'
The trouble with this sort of statement is that two forms of development mentioned above are not necessarily consequentially related. In many cases the only 'reindustrialisation of Scotland's communities' from offshore wind farms may be that they will be living in a more visibly industrial physical context.
The areas identified by Marine Scotland are mostly the shallow waters close inshore, which are suitable for existing technologies, meaning cheaper to install. While there is nothing wrong with 'cheaper' per se, the environmental cost of littering the coastline with inshore wind farms in technologies which will soon be obsolescent would seem to be at a discount.
The government's press release says that: '… there are (also) deepwater areas which could used for emerging offshore technologies such as floating technology; and that: 'We will now produce a revised plan in 2013 to better understand the waters around Scotland and provide developers with the confidence to move to the next stage of project development in Scottish waters.'
Energy Minister Fergus Ewing told the conference – in a script so familiar it is now beyond cliche and with some of it clearly over-inflated: 'With an estimated 25 per cent of Europe's offshore wind resource, Scotland is the place to come and do business and reap the massive benefits of new offshore wind development and deployment.
'We have demonstrated our commitment with an ambitious but achievable target of the equivalent of 100 per cent of Scotland's electricity needs coming from renewables by 2020. By positioning Scotland as a world leader in low carbon activities, we are witnessing new investment and new jobs. Offshore wind could support almost 50,000 direct and indirect jobs in Scotland by 2020, generating over seven billion pounds for our economy, while there is already 300 million pounds being invested in Scotland to develop the next generation offshore wind turbines. But we want to go further and secure more – much more – international investment on Scotland's shores and I look forward to working with you all right across Europe.'
Initial responses
We understand from the well informed Kintyre Offshore Wind Action Group (KOWAG) that: '…this scoping report is the outcome of a spatial analysis tool which modelled "constraints". The impact on people was ironically not one of the constraints considered… unless they are dead and buried in shipwrecks at sea, in which case they become an archaeological constraint. Presumably the people-factor comes in when they do the regional locational guidance'. This will be the deskbound equivalent of ' light blue touch paper and retire.
When you look at the Marine Scotland research report: Offshore Wind Energy in Scottish Waters the picture is close to unhinged. (The map above is on Page 2 of the Executive Summary.)
The entrance to the outer Firth of Clyde would be almost closed off by wind farms, both right inshore in Ayrshire and south Kintyre – and entrance to Campbeltown Loch would be what? A slalom?
Then there is an entire continuous swathe stretching from the north of Islay away to the northwest, blanketing Tiree and Barra. As the Trekkies sing: 'It's life Jim, but not as we know it'.
The entire west coast of Scotland, one of the world's renowned sailing grounds – would be unrecognisable and, for sail, effectively unnavigable. Has anyone calibrated the impact of wind turbines on passing sail boats?
The country is almost completely ringed with areas for inshore and offshore wind farms – to the point where what is happening is painfully clear.
These plans are being created by city-based bureaucrats who have lost sight of the fact that what they are looking at is more than a set of potential resources. It is a country and a country with a very specific identity upon which unique lifestyles, cultures and the major industry of tourism depend.
A plan as brutalist as this, even for 'research' purposes, has forgotten the larger realities altogether. This is no more than a computer game, or a version of 'Risk', which used to be Bill Gates' favourite – but we are not talking about a game – or are we? – but a country.
The west coast – a major feature and a unique selling point for Scotland – and every aspect of life on and experience of the west coast and its islands, will be irrevocably changed by this Frankenstein deskbound madness.
It's impact is profoundly dangerous because it immediately drives on to consider the neat footprint and the energy grunt of nuclear power.
As rational environmentalists – we are instinctively, viscerally and knowingly opposed to nuclear generation, because of its ultimate uncontrollability and the toxic legacy it leaves for an unknown sequence of generations to come.
But in the end, faced with so destructive an alternative, reason is not reason if it is not prepared to reconsider options in changed circumstances.
We had been driven in this direction before – by the out of scale plan for the Argyll Array windfarm off – and virtually on – Tiree, which is five times the size of the entire island.
Fukushima and what was virtually its reactor farm sent us careering back to wondering how much of a presence of offshore wind – which is inefficient and will be an obsolete technology in the mid term – might be acceptable.
This map of areas for 'research' into offshore wind generation produces the recoil of a rape.
And, conflicted on the relative cost of wind power as a knowledgeable reader accused us of being- and which we admit – we are again open to the possibility of nuclear power.
If the Westminster government offered to power the UK from a reactor farm in, say, Suffolk, how many Scots might find the union 'worth a mass'?

Whisper it: Aston Martin could get on the podium this afternoon at Le Mans. At least, that's what we – and everyone else rooting for AM – are crossing our fingers for.
There's just under a couple of hours to go, and the 007 Aston – currently being driven by Stefan Mucke – is only two laps down on the number one Audi.
If something goes wrong with one of the front three cars, then Aston will be up there.
Touch wood, and do what other superstitious things you do to ward off evil.
We've managed to sneak into Aston's trackside pad, and the atmosphere is electric at the possibility, but as I say, no one's wanting to talk about it incase of jinxing the car.
The TG Crew is somewhat the worse for wear, but we're holding it together.
I think it's called endurance racing not because the cars are fighting for 24 hours, but because all the fans have to keep it together for that long. This last couple of hours is going to be tough for us.
And the teams.

This is turning in to a consistent aggravation. It take 6 and 8 trys to get anything downloaded. The weird download starts, in a few seconds it stops and tells me it's done. Not even close, just a bad file to delete.

I consistently have this same issue, and only with DAZ; for those that are quick to say "it's you", The DAZ site is the one and only site i have this issue with. So it is not me or my machine, if it was I would have the same issue on other sites.
So basically this gripe is a question, is there any way for DAZ to go back to the old fashion, never had a problem downloading system DAZ used to have?

Cardinals on the rise? Team gives reason to believe
At 5-7, the Arizona Cardinals find themselves just two games out of an NFC Wild Card spot.
Let that sink in for a moment, you know, the fact that the playoffs are not out of the realm of possibility for a team that started the season losing six of its first seven games.
And with three of their final four games at home...OK, they're probably not going to make a late postseason run, but to even be in the conversation is something that didn't seem possible not long ago.
Funny what kind of difference a few weeks can make.
As the dust began to settle after LaRod Stephens-Howling's game-winning 52-yard reception in overtime, one undeniable fact remained:
For a team that had seemingly found every different way to lose a close game, the fact that punt returns, blocked field goals, clutch fourth down conversions and excellent defense have led to success means there's increasingly more reason to believe in Big Red.
Remember, this season does not have to be a waste.
"When we were 1-6 we were fighting just as hard as we're fighting right now, and just as hard as we were fighting the first week," quarterback Kevin Kolb said. "I've said that multiple times, and you don't see that everywhere.
"That's a big reflection of our leadership and our coaching staff and the players we have in the locker room. We just need to keep plugging and keep getting better."
Improvement is really all there is for the team now, and while many were ready to throw dirt on the Cardinal and their head coach (this writer included), the fact remains that the Cardinals, somehow, seem to be coming around.
To wit: Arizona has now equaled its win total from one season ago, and there are still four games left. Sure, five wins is nothing to write home about, but just more than one month ago it appeared that only a miracle would prevent the Cardinals from landing another top-5 pick in the draft.
Now, it seems as if the only thing the team needed was time, especially the defense.
"Without minicamp or OTAs, you're not so comfortable with your teammates and the defensive scheme," linebacker Daryl Washington said, "but now you can see it. "We're all on the same page, everyone's making plays."
"We compliment each other."
The offense is still learning each other, especially after Kolb missed four games due to injury. But of course, his return went pretty well, and maybe now the offense can begin to form an identity, too.
Kolb talked about it, saying he wanted the offense to "get to know ourselves" in the second half Sunday, and Whisenhunt said his quarterback's performance was exciting because it gives the team "something to build on and build with him."
There's optimism now, a belief that he Cardinals may no longer be the team that lost 15 of 18 games dating back to last season. While they may not make the playoffs, simply moving on from that stretch of barely watchable football would be enough to classify this season as a success.
Of course, there are still four games left, and with each one a chance for the Cardinals to take another step forward.
"I think we're really playing well down the stretch of the games we were able to win," receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. "Guys are consistently making plays down the stretch."
That wasn't the case earlier in the season, where fumbles, drops, interceptions and otherwise bad play cost the Cardinals game after game. Things are different these days, and it would be wise to not underestimate the impact each win can have on this team, especially with so many young players who really haven't experienced success as an Arizona Cardinal.
"It was really a great feeling because all year we've been through so much adversity," second-year pro O'Brien Schofield said. "It shows our ability to stick together as a team and everyone has faith that we're going to prevail and win the game."
One week at a time, the Cardinals are doing just that, and with each victory comes a belief that the Cardinals are rising once again.

With Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss's 57.5 percent to 42.5 percent victory in Georgia's runoff, Minnesota's contest is the only 2008 Senate race that remains undecided. Both Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and Democratic challenger Al Franken claim to hold the lead.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune's count shows Coleman up by 192 votes. The Office of the Secretary of State has the Republican up by 687 votes, although the department acknowledges that this number does not include an entire precinct in Minneapolis where 133 ballots have gone missing. The Franken campaign maintains that its candidate is ahead by four votes.
The state canvassing board is unlikely to declare a winner before the end of next week. And this thing could drag on much longer.
In the meantime, a hot topic among political junkies is that Democrats have fallen short of the nine-seat gain needed to secure a 60-seat, theoretically filibuster-proof majority. Often missing from such conversations is an acknowledgment that preventing filibusters is not exclusively about whether a senator wears a red or blue jersey. Rather, the ability to halt a filibuster comes down to specific issues, specific bills, and specific language and circumstances. Whether Connecticut's independent Democrat, Sen. Joe Lieberman, sides with Democrats or Republicans will depend on the issue being debated, not where he eats lunch on Tuesdays (when each party holds its weekly caucus). Several other senators on both sides of the aisle could easily fall into the same category.
In counting votes against a Republican filibuster, a key question is, "Can Democrats hold their centrists?" Using the 2007 National Journal vote ratings as a yardstick, the Democrats in the middle, from right to left, are Sens. Ben Nelson of Nebraska; Mary Landrieu of Louisiana; Mark Pryor of Arkansas; Max Baucus of Montana; Kent Conrad of North Dakota; Claire McCaskill of Missouri; Byron Dorgan of North Dakota; Ken Salazar of Colorado; Thomas Carper of Delaware; Jim Webb of Virginia; Jon Tester of Montana; Evan Bayh of Indiana; Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas; and Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Among the seven incoming freshmen, Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, and Mark Warner of Virginia are the ones most likely to line up in the center. Nobody is quite certain where Oregon's Jeff Merkley will stand.
The 111th Congress will have 23 to 26 relatively centrist senators.
Although the ranks of centrist Republican senators have been depleted in recent years, a few still remain, notably, from left to right, Olympia Snowe of Maine; Susan Collins of Maine; Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania; Norm Coleman (if he's re-elected); George Voinovich of Ohio; Richard Lugar of Indiana; and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Plus, it is not exactly unheard-of for Arizona's John McCain to stray off the GOP reservation.
This means that the 111th Congress will have 23 to 26 relatively centrist senators. That's not an inconsequential number. It is also important to note that the Senate has only about 41 true-blue liberals.
Therefore, even if fairly liberal legislation passes the House, where the number of moderate Democrats is not insignificant either, the odds are good that it won't get through the Senate even with a filibuster-proof majority -- and even if President Obama supports the bill. And that doesn't get into the fact that, at least so far, key positions in the Obama administration are going to pragmatic centrists.
So, all this talk of Democrats needing 60 Senate seats fails to capture the party's true situation. What votes the Democrats will need in the Senate will depend on the exact issue, bill, language, and circumstances. There may well be times when Democrats can hold their moderates and pick off enough Republican defectors to break a conservative filibuster. And there may be times when they can't.
What is unlikely to vary is that Democrats will have to temper their proposals if they want to have a realistic chance of getting them enacted. Although it is legitimate for liberals to be disappointed that the Left won't be able to dominate the Senate, centrists should rejoice that they will matter, regardless of their jersey's color. With approximately a quarter of the Senate potentially making up the swing vote, the middle-of-the-roaders will have a lot of sway.
If anyone should be concerned right now, it shouldn't be centrists. It should be liberals. The change they are going to get may not be the kind that they wanted.

Stopping in at Bin 38
By Jessica Yadegaran
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 at 3:51 pm in Uncategorized.
Thirty eight is the latitude of San Francisco, and the wine bar Bin 38 marries the New World vibe of our fine city with what's emerging as our favorite sip on the slab — vino.
On Saturday, I popped in to Bin 38 on Scott Street with Joel shortly after inhaling a lemon cupcake at Kara's Cupcakes. The interior is long and lovely, think California Wine Merchant but a bit more serious in its use of space: a custom-made L-shaped couch fills one room; in another, a long communal table. Gold-flecked onyx countertops flank the long bar. The heat lamps and fire-pit in the back will come in handy during the summer, when I'm out there swirling my Albarino in a sundress.
The New World-focused wine list was impressive. California, Argentina, Oregon, Washington, Australia, Chile, New Zealand and South Africa are well represented in the by-the-glass list, the best vehicle for judging a wine bar. Standbys like Navarro Vineyards Estate Dry Gewurztraminer ($10) are listed alongside serious Chardonnays from the Russian River Valley (Lynmar, at $13) and the trendy bottle-capped Innocent Bystander Pink Moscato ($17 for a half bottle).
My personal litmus test for reds is to scan the list for quality, small-production Pinot Noir, from Oregon or the Sonoma Coast. I was pleased to see Siduri's Willamette Valley bottling represented as well as their second label Novy Syrah. Keen to please, the bartender busted out a taste of 2005 Testarossa Pinot Noir for me from the Schultze Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It was lovely — very earthy with forest floor and strawberry flavors — so I went with a glass but was disappointed when we got the bill. At $17, I would have rather gotten the Aussie Flight, three tastes (Innocent Bystander Pinot, Fetish Playmates Shiraz, Jim Barry Cabernet Sauvignon) for $16.50.
Otherwise, a lovely experience. We talked over the loud Marina crowd, munched on spring vegetables and an olive oil-herb-sea-salt dip, and sipped the sunny day away.

Idaho State University Emeritus Professor Minshall pens non-fiction book 'Wilderness Brothers' detailing frontier mining life in Idaho's River of No Return Wilderness
Posted February 27, 2012
Epic journeys, fortunes of gold gained and lost, and plenty of detail about living in the Idaho wilderness during frontier times are chronicled in the new non-fiction book "Wilderness Brothers: Prospecting, Horse Packing, & Homesteading on the Western Frontier," by Idaho State University ecology Professor Emeritus G. Wayne Minshall.
Minshall's book is based on the diaries Luman G. Caswell wrote from 1895-1903 chronicling his life and those of his brothers Ben and Dan and their close associates A.O. Huntley and Wesley Ritchey. However, Minshall augments the diaries with extensive research and provides an account of the time leading up to and following their discovery of gold on Thunder Mountain, which is located in the current Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.
"I read the diaries and became totally immersed in the life they had as homesteaders and miners on Cabin Creek inside of the River of No Return Wilderness," said Minshall, who has spent parts of the last 30 years doing ecological studies in this Idaho wilderness. "I retraced their steps pretty closely, and found their stories very compelling."
The book is geared towards readers of U.S. western history, from those with a general interest to professional scholars.
"The reason they came to Idaho was to look for gold, and, unlike most people, they actually found it," Minshall said. "You wonder, 'if they struck it rich, did they live happily ever after?'"
Read the book if you're interested in the answer to that question.
Although the crux of the book is about the period from 1885-1903 in Idaho, it has a much wider scope, dealing with western history from the mid-1860s to the 1960s, encompassing the region from California to Colorado.
The book includes information about the Caswells' 2,500-mile odyssey, by buckboard wagon and horseback, from western Colorado, across Utah and Nevada and into Idaho. It also provides information about the Thunder Mountain stampede, triggered by the Caswells' discovery, that was the last major gold rush in the region,
"The emphasis of this account, however, is on self reliance and day-to-day activities and adventures of the times, and not on the rush per se," Minshall said.
In addition, it documents unique aspects of the history of this region and provides a record of land-use practices in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness prior to its designation as such.
While at Idaho State University, Minshall taught courses in ecology and conducted research on stream ecosystems. His work has been published extensively in ecological journals.
Minshall has a long abiding interest in "homesteading," in both the historical and modern contexts, as an expression of self-sufficiency and a means of ecological sustainability. He and his wife Judy operate a small farm based on modern, low environmental impact homesteading principles and for more than 10 years he taught a university course based on their experiences.
"Wilderness Brothers" stems from the author's interest in the self-reliant lifestyle of the pioneer homesteaders and the familiarity gained from many years of research in the Frank Church River-of-No-Return Wilderness.
"Wilderness Brothers," with a list price of $14.95, was published by Streamside Scribe Press and is available from Amazon.com or by emailing email@example.com.

The Concept
Like the woman that wears it, the strength and uniqueness of Dolce&Gabbana The One fragrance comes from contrast. Used to adorn pulse points or misted into the air to fall in a scented aura, The One is a modern 'floriental' eau de parfum combining contemporary fruit ingredients with the perfumer's classic palette of white flowers. "Every woman is The One!" Stefano Gabbana.
The Design
Conceptualized by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, The One, beaming in gold, was meant to be seen, celebrated and adored. The bottle pays homage to perfumery tradition while being a perfect example of luxurious style.
The rich Oriental Floral perfume opens with a sparkling and modern interpretation of fresh top notes of zesty Bergamot and Mandarin, combined with juicy Lychee and Peach.
The journey to the heart of the fragrance follows into the timeless scent of the Madonna Lily with its voluptuous intensity and enveloping femininity.
The fragrance finally unfolds to reveal a deep and sensual base of rich Vanilla and resinous Ambery notes combined with smooth Musky notes to leave a lingering presence.
Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey are the ultimate Hollywood icons – admired for their innate talent and captivating on-screen presence alike. Scarlett, the beautiful young star looking "for just one thing, love"; Matthew, the magnetic screen icon, with a trail of paparazzi in his wake.
"Scarlett is the embodiment of The One woman. She lives and breathes every womanly nuance. She exudes desire and innocence. She is both sobriety and sensuality". Domenico Dolce
"Matthew is the ultimate charmer. He is an outstanding actor, and a very handsome man whose good looks seem to be increasing with age. And he has also been blessed with style. There could be no other face for The One for Men. " Stefano Gabbana
