I've recently gotten into DAZ because I had an idea for a science fiction story in the style of a comic book or graphic novel. I plan on using Photoshop and Comic Life for image touch-uips and layout, while DAZ will be for the actual composition. But the more I get into DAZ, the more daunting the prospect becomes. It feels like it will take months if not longer to find and assemble the figures and props I'll need and the basic skills to use them before I can even begin putting the comic together.
So have I bitten off more than I can chew, here, or am I just going too fast? I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed here. :(

You Don't Love Me yetby Jonathan Lethem
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the incomparable Jonathan Lethem, a raucous romantic farce that explores the paradoxes of love and art
Lucinda Hoekke spends eight hours a day at the Complaint Line, listening to anonymous callers air their random grievances. Most of the time, the work is excruciatingly tedious. But one frequent caller, who insists on speaking only to Lucinda, captivates her with his off-color ruminations and opaque self-reflections. In blatant defiance of the rules, Lucinda and the Complainer arrange a face-to-face meeting—and fall desperately in love.
Consumed by passion, Lucinda manages only to tear herself away from the Complainer to practice with the alternative band in which she plays bass. The lead singer of the band is Matthew, a confused young man who works at the zoo and has kidnapped a kangaroo to save it from ennui. Denise, the drummer, works at No Shame, a masturbation boutique. The band's talented lyricist, Bedwin, conflicted about the group's as-yet-nonexistent fame, is suffering from writer's block. Hoping to recharge the band's creative energy, Lucinda "suggests" some of the Complainer's philosophical musings to Bedwin. When Bedwin transforms them into brilliant songs, the band gets its big break, including an invitation to appear on L.A.'s premiere alternative radio show. The only problem is the Complainer. He insists on joining the band, with disastrous consequences for all.
Brimming with satire and sex, You Don't Love Me Yet is a funny and affectionate send-up of the alternative band scene, the city of Los Angeles, and the entire genre of romantic comedy, but remains unmistakably the work of the inimitable Jonathan Lethem.
Bestselling author Jonathan Lethem delivers a hilarious novel about love, art, and what it's like to be young in Los Angeles.
Lucinda Hoekke's daytime gig as a telephone operator at the Complaint Line—an art gallery's high-minded installation piece—is about as exciting as listening to dead air. Her real passion is playing bass in her forever struggling, forever unnamed band. But recently a frequent caller, the Complainer, as Lucinda dubs him, has captivated her with his philosophical musings. When Lucinda's band begins to incorporate the Complainer's catchy, existential phrases into their song lyrics, they are suddenly on the cusp of their big break. There is only one problem: the Complainer wants in.
An employee at The Complaint Line who spends hours listening to anonymous callers air their random grievances, Lucinda Hoekke falls madly in love with one of her frequent callers, but her romance has unexpected complications for Lucinda and her fellow members of an alternative rock band in which she plays bass. Reprint. 35,000 first printing.

WHEN genes came along, late in the second millennium of the Christian era, they found a place already prepared for them at the table of philosophy. They were the fates of ancient myth, the entrails of oracular prediction. They were destiny and predetermination, the enemies of choice. They were constraints on human freedom. They were the gods. The very phrase "genetic determinism" has come to be synonymous with inevitability.
This is a false picture. Now that we have lifted the lid on the human genome and peered inside at what genes actually do, a more liberating vision is emerging. Human nature is indeed a product of genes in every particular, but so is human nurture, because genes spend just as much of their time responding to our actions as they do causing them. Genes do not constrain human freedom, they enable it.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives' Kyle Richards: Lisa Vanderpump Is Too "Hyper-Sensitive" About Everything I Do
Kyle Richards says she was completely taken aback by Camille Grammer's claim about Lisa Vanderpump not owning SUR on this week's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
"I know NOTHING about Lisa's businesses, and I had never heard this before," Kyle writes in her Bravo blog. "Lisa immediately said that she owns 51 percent of SUR. I did not think that Lisa needed defending. She explained immediately!"
"Lisa later told me that she was upset I didn't defend her," Kyle continues. "Why wasn't she upset with Brandi for not defending her? They're very close friends. Maybe Brandi also didn't think Lisa needed defending."
Kyle feels that Lisa is still holding onto resentment towards her. "It's also obvious Lisa is still angry with me, so she is hyper-sensitive to anything I may do or NOT do," Kyle says.
Kyle also says that she didn't want to discuss Kim Richards's nose job in front of the other ladies, and she didn't appreciate Yolanda Foster's comments about her not taking Kim's nose job seriously.
"Yolanda later said in her interview that she doesn't know why I was making light of Kim getting her nose done," Kyle writes. "Yolanda doesn't know what I was thinking, and it seems she was making light of it herself in the limo. Clearly, she has an issue with me."
Yikes! Will tension continue to escalate between Yolanda and Kyle? Let's hope not!

Electrostatic Powderspray
Rilsan, Resicoat, Halar ECTFE and various Fluoropolymer coatings can be applied by electrostatic powder spaying. The coating procedure is:
- Check metal products on arrival to ensure they are suitable for coating.
- Grit blasting SA 2,5 or 3 and remove dust.
- Preheat the products in ovens to above the melting temperature of the powder coating.
- Apply electrostatic powder coating. After product preheating, the powder is sprayed on the product. The difference in electric potential between the powder and surface causes the powder to be drawn to the surface. After spraying, the product is placed in the oven to melt or cure the powder. This procedure is repeated until the desired coating thickness is reached.
- Check the coating thickness and in some cases test the pore-freedom of the coating after the construction has cooled down.

B2Gallery gets "Wet"
Bikes and art usually don't go together – but "Inky Spokes" aims to change that. The Washington-touring exhibition of bicycle-themed art hits Tacoma Art Museum this week with a free reception next Thursday for ArtWalk, and showcases not just links between wheels and canvas, but the work of both emerging and established artists.
Curated by Amanda Michele Dellinger and organized by The Levee Breaking, "Inky Spokes" is a spin-off from the Gigantic Bicycle Festival, a get-together of bike enthusiasts this August in Snoqualmie, where the exhibit will culminate. Featured artists includeAlex Achaval, Amy Pleasant, Andy Goulding, Claire Putney, Eroyn Franklin, Fedora El Morro and WoodFish, among many others.
"I think what's most important to me as the curator is to emphasize the connectivity between artists of varying skill set and the bridging of cities through art and bicycle culture," says Dellinger.
The TAM portion coincides with National Bike Month, and the City of Tacoma's Zeitbike offshoot, which has organized its own museum events in the past, is encouraging museum-goers to ride their bikes to the museum, where admission is free from 5-8 p.m. and other Third Thursday ArtWalk activities include a sewing circle for Marie Watt's upcoming blanket sculpture and bike-related art activities.
Before and after the ArtWalk reception, only a portion of the exhibit will be on view in the window on the museum's mezzanine level.
Opening reception 5-8 p.m. May 15. Free. Also on view 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday through May 27; admission $10/$8/free for five and under. Tacoma Art Museum, 1701 Pacific Ave., Tacoma. 253-272-4258, tacomaartmuseum.org
The elements that make up our earth have inspired artists, filmmakers and composers for a long time, and now Greg Youtz is having his say. The composer and musicology professor at Pacific Lutheran University has been studying classical Chinese music and culture for years now, taking students on study trips and incorporating Chinese instruments and sounds into his own compositions. This Sunday Tacomans will get the chance to hear his first percussion concerto, inspired by the five elements (or Five Changes) of the earth according to the Chinese philosophy of Daoism.
While Youtz' second percussion concerto got a lot more exposure (a piece for two soloists, it was premiered by the Tacoma Symphony a few years ago) this concerto is more programmatic, with each movement describing a different element with various percussion instruments.
Says Youtz in the press release: "In the form of this 20-minute piece, water forms the first, self-contained section. In the next section wood emerges and leads in an enormous crescendo to fire. The third section is a slow movement of drums representing earth which leads into the fourth section highlighting metal. This forms the climax and the coming together of all previous themes and motives, before receding into a short recapitulation of the water section."
Colored lighting will also highlight the five changes.
PLU percussion faculty member Dr. Miho Takekawa will be the soloist, accompanied by the PLU wind ensemble under Edwin Powell.
For Harvey Felder, Mahler's Fifth Symphony is a journey from struggle to triumph – and that's exactly why he's chosen that iconic Romantic work to be the final one he conducts as music director of the Tacoma Symphony. Felder's own 20-year journey with the orchestra has seen plenty of ups and downs, and the conductor sees the symphony as the ideal musical symbol. Also on the program, held this Saturday in the Pantages, is Liszt's bravura Piano Concerto no. 1, played by soloist Andrew Armstrong, and a piece by contemporary American composer Roberto Sierra.
"I love Mahler…his music means so much to orchestras and conductors," says Felder. "This symphony is a journey of struggle, love, hope and ultimately triumph. It's a wonderful narrative and I wanted to have that at my last concert as a representation of what we've gone through as an orchestra."
Felder was hired by the orchestra's board in 1993 with the charge of raising the standard from community orchestra to professional. During his first decade he made sweeping changes: auditioning all musicians to assess their skill, asking key players to leave if they weren't "up to snuff," changing rehearsals from once-weekly to a four-nights-before-the-concert basis, introducing new repertoire like late Romantic and some contemporary music, and being very picky about precision, rhythm and ensemble playing. In the last ten years Felder has brought the orchestra into the community, reaching out with venues like the Rialto, Tacoma Art Museum, Joint Base Lewis McChord and the Puyallup Fair; starting family concerts; working with youth musicians in schools; hiring local soloists and creating the Simply Symphonic series offering free educative concerts to local fifth graders.
But while the board, musicians and audience all agree that Felder has more than achieved what he came to do, there has been tension. Some players left before they were asked, others, like concertmaster Svend Rønning, describe Felder's rehearsal style as "scary."
"There's been struggle, loss…a journey fraught with ups and downs," says Felder.
The orchestra has played the piece before under Felder, and so he has a few things planned out already, like the tempi, which can't go as slowly as Mahler originally specifies simply because the acoustic of the Pantages is so dry.
"In our hall, slow tempi are just deadly: the sound just drops, there's no reverberation," Felder explains.
And while some conductors like to separate the 70-minute work into discrete sections (the movements include a funeral march, a storm, a lighter scherzo, a slow adagio and a final, joking allegro), Felder prefers to keep the narrative arc by "moving things along."
The work is also a large one instrumentally, including three of each woodwind (four flutes), six horns, an extensive percussion section and a harp added to the strings.
Ever wondered how to engrave brass, make a cyanotype print or spin freshly-sheared wool? You'll get your chance at Fort Nisqually over the next five months, as the living history museum at Tacoma's Point Defiance Park brings back its Crafts of the Past program for the third year.
Every weekend from May 3 through September 28 a different artist will be in residence demonstrating a craft or art from the 1800s, the period when the Hudson's Bay Company had an outpost at the now-restored historical site. Crafts include Native American basketry, metal engraving, millinery, botanical illustration, broom making, and blacksmithing. Visitors can also try many of the crafts for themselves, beginning with this weekend, when metal engraver Steve Baima shows how gun makers embellished their weapons with intricate metal engravings.
"Many of the things people needed for daily life in the 1800s — from what they wore to the tools they used — were produced by crafts people whose work was both functional and beautiful," said Fort Nisqually's site manager Mike McGuire in a press release. "This is a chance to see artists in action and learn directly from them."
May 10 and 11 sees Heather Kibbey and Mickey Pederson spinning and weaving wool, while a flock of visiting sheep gets shorn (Saturday only). On May 18, Cowlitz tribal member Judy Bridges demonstrates basketry techniques like plaiting, twining and coiling; on May 24-25 photographer Victoria Anderson explains how to make a cyanotype print using sunlight on photo-sensitive paper; while on May 31-June 1 Alan Archambault demonstrates the art of historical illustration and calligraphy.
Fort Nisqually Living History Museum is a restoration of the Hudson's Bay Company outpost on Puget Sound, with nine buildings showing how life was lived in Washington Territory during the 1850s. It's open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday through May 26 then daily through summer. Admission: $5 adult/$4 youth through May 23; then $7 adult/$6 senior, military/$5 student/$4 youth/free for under-5.
Hard to believe that the Tacoma Urban Sketchers are turning one year old this month, but it's true: The local branch of the world-wide grass-roots sketching movement have been meeting every month with pencils and paper since last May, sharing their work and techniques on Flickr.com. To celebrate, they're holding two sketch-out meetings this Saturday in Seattle and Tacoma.
First, the Tacoma meet-up: Sketchers will meet at the downtown Starbucks at 1101 Pacific Ave., S, Tacoma) at 10 a.m. before sketching on and around the Murray Morgan Bridge. (Rain plan: sketch the bridge from covered areas near A and 11th Streets.) They'll reconvene at 12:30 p.m. at Starbucks to share experiences and drawings.

Hearing African music is rare in the South Sound – hearing African classical music is even rarer. But Tacoma audiences will get the chance this weekend as the Second City Chamber Series features Seattle pianist William Chapman Nyaho with local musicians playing chamber works by composers from Nigeria, Egypt and the African diaspora in "Voices of Africa."
Born in Ghana with music degrees from Oxford, the Geneva music conservatory, the Eastman School and the University of Texas at Austin, Nyaho is a pianist and teacher in demand around the country, with two CDs and a large part of his performing career devoted to music by African composers.
When SCCS director Svend Rønning came up with the series' season theme of musicians performing their specialty, he immediately thought of Nyaho.
"It seemed like a great opportunity," says Rønning, a violinist, who along with soprano Tracy Satterfield, violinists Ruth Maria Ballance and cellist Jared Ballance will play alongside Nyaho in a program that's as varied as Africa itself.
From the 19th-century English-born Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who had Sierra Leone connections and an Elgar aesthetic and New York jazz pianist Valerie Capers' "The Seasons," the program goes to Nigerian composer Joshua Uzoigwe, whose "Uko" replicates the sound of that African drum (the uko) in a 12-tone piano landscape, avant-garde jazz composer Coleridge Taylor Perkinson (named after the English composer) with a "Scherzo" and a piano trio by Egyptian composer Gamal Abdel-Rahim.

Does Morto worm prove inherent flaws in Windows RDP security?
The recent Morto worm had unusual success spreading via Windows Remote Desktop Protocol. Does that mean RDP is security too weak? Nick Lewis explains.
What's your take on the recent Morto worm? Do you think its growth is more of a result of issues with Windows Remote...

Desktop Protocol, configuration errors or simply weak passwords? Do you think it's likely the state of a move away from Trojans and bots and back toward "old-school" Internet worms?
The Morto worm, discovered in August, was a new way to attack insecurely configured Windows systems. Essentially an evolved Windows networking worm, it spread from an infected system using the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), an element of the Windows Remote Desktop Connection service that allows a Windows PC or server to be controlled remotely. However, the worm did not exploit vulnerabilities in RDP the way previous Windows networking worms did.
The rapid propagation of the Morto worm was a result of RDP being allowed through many firewalls. Most generic firewalls could not block this attack without blocking RDP, but firewalls or IPSes with application detection capabilities could be used to block the application-layer attack. The Morto worm was an application-layer attack, exploiting a common configuration error: a weak password. It would attempt a brute-force login as an administrator on a victim's machine, using a series of common passwords. Most systems should be configured to enforce strong passwords, yet Morto was still able to spread quite successfully.
The Morto worm was just an infection mechanism to load malware on the system. As far as malware goes, it didn't seem to be terribly malicious, but Morto could have loaded Zeus or a number of different malware or bot software programs on its victim machines to profit from its rapid propagation. It's an important lesson for security practitioners, as broad use of strong passwords would have likely stopped the Morto worm in its tracks.
It is ironic that Windows systems configured with one of the least secure options, a blank administrative password, would have been protected from this worm since users with blank passwords are not allowed to connect via Remote Desktop Protocol. I wouldn't be surprised if the Morto worm paves the way for a future Windows worm to attack an application or protocol exposed by network or additional host-based firewalls, like the Witty worm did for BlackIce. There are security weaknesses in older versions of RDP (.pdf) and the remote desktop client, but Microsoft has improved the security of the protocol and the client application in the most recent versions, most notably with strong encryption for network connections.

Mageia 2 and E17 desktop environment
Mageia 2, the second edition of the Linux distribution forked from Mandriva Linux, was released just two days ago. Made available for download, were Live CD installation images for KDE and GNOME 3, and other ISO installation media that allows you to install desktop environments and window managers other than KDE and GNOME 3.
One of those "other" desktop environments/window managers, is E17. For those who are not familiar with it, E17 is, according to the official description, a "next generation of UNIX graphical environments. It is not just a window manager, but it is also a desktop shell."
To install E17, you need to download a DVD, dualarch Live CD, or a network-based CD ISO installation image. They, and not the Live CD images, gives you the opportunity to select what desktop environment to install. At some point during the installation process, you will get to the step shown in the image below. To install an E17 desktop, you need to choose the Other Graphical Desktops. And to see what other desktop environments/window managers will be installed, you also need to select Individual package selection.
When you select Individual package selection and click Next, you should be taken to the step shown here. This is where it gets confusing or even misleading. You would think that expanding Other Graphical Desktops at this step will show a list of other graphical desktops.
However, most of what it shows, is a list of applications mixed with other window managers like icewm. No E17. So, you just have to trust that E17 is in there somewhere.
And actually, after installation, E17 wil be listed as an option in the session menu. It is, however, not the default. WindowMaker takes that title.
This is what you will see if you select E17 from the session menu. The dock is called the iBar. The menu is at the left end of iBar.
Left-clicking, not right-clicking, anywhere on the desktop will also bring up the menu. As a graphical interface for desktop computing, E17 has its loyal fans, but I find that it does not really cut it for me. It is good for tinkering, but for me, not for doing serious stuff. Out of the box, it has some nifty effects built-in and is said to be very fast, even on low resource computers. My computer is on the high-end side, so I cannot tell you how it runs on low resource computers.
The next four screen shots are of the desktop showing entries in some menu categories.
Want to experience a Mageia 2 desktop running E17 firsthand? Then download a DVD, dualarch Live CD, or a network-based CD ISO installation image from here.

There's a lot more to E17 than is immediately apparent. Just about everything about it is configurable, and it has some interesting and powerful features, such as the Everything Module (Alt + Esc):
Bodhi (bodhilinux.com), the most popular distro focused on E17, can run on a 300mhz i386 Processor and 128megs of RAM, yet it has a lot of eye candy. It includes a variety of preconfigured setups and themes so you can see and use some of the possible multiple shelf and widget configurations for netbooks, desktops, etc. without having to set them up yourself.
Their documentation is quite comprehensive:

National Electric Code
Codes of practice in the USA & Canada, which have differed largely from the unified IEC standards, define the permitted use of electrical equipment and approved wiring methods in industry.
The standard reference document for electrical installation is the National Electric Code (NEC) in USA and the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada. Electrical Equipment used in Ordinary, Wet and Hazardous (or Classified) Locations must be 'listed' by an accredited approval agency for use in the intended location.
In USA the NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association) is the body that establishes codes of practice for safe working operations in Hazardous Locations.
Typical reference documents are :-
NFPA 497 - Recommended Practice for the Classification of Flammable Liquids, Gases, or Vapors and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas.
NFPA 499 - Recommended Practice for the Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas
The hazardous locations include areas in which flammable, combustible or ignitable substances may occur in hazardous amounts.

This is hopeful, and it makes possible some significant strides forward, it seems to me, between now and Election Day 2014.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial">Our success over the next year will be measured in large part by what happens with the US Senate and House. It will be a bad year, for example, if the climate-denier-heavy Republican Party maintains control of the House and takes control of the Senate. It will be a better year if the Senate stays Democratic and the House is either taken over by the Democrats or they significantly reduce the Republicans' current 33-seat majority. It will be best if that happens and a larger percentage than at present of those who are elected to Congress, whether Democrat, Republican or Independent, are elected after making climate and renewable energy a major issue in their campaigns, either because they personally get it or because they have been pushed by the visible activism of the climate movement and independent climate activism in their House or Senate districts to do so.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial">It's a good thing that Obama, not Romney, is in the White House, and it's a good thing that Harry Reid, not Mitch McConnell, is the Senate leader, but the fossil fuel industry, particularly the oil and gas industry, has significant influence over both sides of the aisle and in the Executive Office. Barack Obama, let us remember, has been a consistent and vocal supporter of fracking despite all of the proven health and safety impacts on people and other living things near fracking wells. He's done this even as many studies, including by government agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), have shown that methane leakage throughout the lifecycle of fracked gas probably means that its greenhouse gas footprint is close to, as bad as, or worse than that of coal.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial">A key priority within that multi-issue movement must be a rapid shift to a jobs-creating, renewable energy revolution, with a just transition for workers in the fossil fuel industry, and many of us from the climate movement being there will ensure that this is a priority of that coming movement.

Just got home from a six day stay and what can we say. The hotel gets better! Thought that was an impossibility however the breakfasts were more than filling for even the biggest appetite, the rooms even cleaner and the welcome even more welcoming. For such a great stay at such a great price, you\'d be mental to go anywhere else.
Again we had a great time at this excellent hotel in Blackpool. A few beer in the bar at night, great food and all the wine gums you can eat. What more do you want..
If you want a nice quiet break away stay at the Strathdon….
We have just got back from another amazing break at the Strathdon hotel, Ian and Veronica we amazing, the breakfast was even better than last year which we didnt think was possible,the rooms are beautiful and you will be more than inpressed bu Veronicas towel folding cant wait to visit again very soon xx
we recently stayed for three nights in mid august and all i can say is if youre coming to blackpool then this is the place you have to stay.nothing is too much trouble for ian and veronica to make you feel welcome.the hotel is spotless and everything is there to make youre stay a happy one.the food is excellent and would recomend the evening meal.thanks again ian and veronica we will certainly be seeing you again soon
From the moment we arrived we were greeted with the warmest of welcomes . The whole experience was great from the room to the food to the bar but the thing that makes the strathdon are the owners Ian and Veronica they make you feel so comfortable in nice relaxing surroundings. We would go back again and would recommend to anyone . Thanks Ian and Veronica for treating us like one of the family we will be back.
Stayed for two nights in early July with my wife and two young children. We were given a warm welocome with a much needed coffe on arrival. Both Ian and Veronica were extremely pleasant and made us feel at home immediately.
The room was lovely and clean, with comfortable beds for us and the kids; a nice wall-mounted television and excellent coffee making facilities (with lots of complimentary nick-nacks).
I would certainly re-book at the Strathdon again when returning to Blackpool, and recommend it to my family and friends.

Both the Oktibbeha County School District and the Starkville School District are facing large deficits in the 2011–2012 budget.
The SSD Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP) allocation will be underfunded by more than $1.9 million, which is about $317,300 less than last year.
On April 8, the Mississippi Legislature passed a budget of $16,368,297 for the SSD, which includes every add-on program in the district.
While facing cuts, the districts are optimistic because of the educational jobs fund allocation they received last year from Congress. Gov. Haley Barbour made the money available to districts last year in the face of budget cuts, but warned that the 2011–2012 budget is on track to be the most underfunded they had seen, and that saving the money could prove beneficial.
"We took what they said very seriously," Assistant Supt. Beth Sewell said regarding the saving of the allocation.
The SSD received $750,000 from the educational jobs fund allocation last year and they have saved for this year as they had already established a budget last school year by the time the extra money came along.
Though it is underfunded, the district is fairing slightly better than last year thanks to the savings of the governor's allocation, and administrators have already been holding meetings to come up with solutions to the shrinking budget.
"We've already met with Rob [Logan, comptroller] as a team to see what our needs are," Sewell said. "We're trying to be very conservative."
"We're looking at teacher units, programs and maintenance issues," Assistant Supt. Walter Gonsoulin added.
Sewell added that by programs, the district means software and consumables, not educational programs.
Though underfunded by almost half a million dollars, the Oktibbeha County School District's MAEP allocation is $68,100 more than last year. Supt. James Covington attributes the budget increase to increased student enrollment.
Though the budget is more than last year, the increased enrollment poses another problem to the district.
"Class sizes are larger than we've seen in the last 10 years," Covington said. "And though we're still in line with the state laws on the teacher, student ratio, it just makes it a little harder on the teachers to have that many students in a class."
With the extra funds, Covington is hoping to reduce the teacher to student ratio from one to 30 to one to 20, "which will improve learning," he said.
Gas prices are another factor affecting the district. Being a county school district, students are spread out over a much larger area than students inside of a city, which is costing the district thousands more a month than they planned for.
"If we can't reduce the teacher, pupil ratio, we might see about off-setting the fuel costs," Covington said. "The board has also been talking about updating our bus fleet."
Covington assures that the visual arts programs and athletic programs will remain, even with a budget of $3.975,831.
"I would love to see the performing arts in our schools, but we simply cannot afford those kinds of programs with being half a million underfunded," Covington said. "What looks like an increase, we still have less really to do what more because we're still underfunded."

"So often we do CPR for the benefit of the family who are surrounding the victim because we know the chances are slim that he or she will survive," says Sonia Stehr, a Zumbrota EMT who works for IBM. "But this man had no one there, and no one knew who he was. We were it, and though we were pessimistic about his chances, no one wanted to give up as long as he showed some signs of responding."
6:27 — 45 minutes over: Goodman calls White for the fourth time: "He's still in V-fib. We can't stop it."
"Then give him a double dose of amiodarone," White says. "Continue CPR, and give him one more shock."
6:31 — 49 minutes over: Svoboda gives the injection. Hands cease the relentless rhythm of chest compression. Then the team from Mayo shock Snitzer for the 12th and final time.
Nothing. Resigned to the inevitable, Goodman asks the assembled EMTs and paramedics, "Is there anything more we can do for this guy?" The question is standard medical protocol, a step on the way to stopping treatment and pronouncing the patient dead. The firehouse is silent.
6:32 — 50 minutes over: Men and women pack up equipment. Snitzer lies on the backboard, as lifeless as when they had begun their labors. His body is surrounded by spent IV tubes, packaging, and needles. Blood from his IVs has pooled on the floor. Seconds tick by in silence.
6:33 — 51 minutes over: The heart monitor beeps. It beeps again, then keeps on beeping. Snitzer's heart has surged to life, beating on its own.
"Let's fly, let's go!" shouts Goodman. Snitzer is quickly wheeled onto Mayo One. As the helicopter lifts off amid muted sighs of relief, one volunteer shakes his head: "My God, I don't believe he's still hanging in there."

Ignore Greenpeace: The iPad Isn't Bad News for Green IT
The iPad, one of the most anticipated consumer electronics devices since Apple's own iPhone, goes on sale this week. Demand is brisk, judging by shipping dates that now stretch into mid-April at Apple's online store. Add some generally positive reviews to the palpable buzz, and it looks like Steve Jobs has another hit on his hands.
But the positive reaction muted a little for greentech geeks this week when Greenpeace released its Make IT Green report (PDF). The report, which singled out the iPad as a "harbinger" of a new generation of cloud-dependent web tablets and mobile devices, forecasts that the cloud will consume 1.96 trillion kWh of energy by 2020, three times the 622.6 billion kWh consumed in 2007. Impressive as the figure sounds, the real cause for concern is not from cloud computing's growing appetite for energy, but that the majority of that energy will be sourced from coal-fired power plants.
It's a valid concern and one that threatens to dull cloud computing's green sheen, but here are four reasons why you shouldn't fear the iPad.
Apple's Green Data Center
Officially, Apple hasn't divulged the purpose behind its massive data center build in North Carolina, but the writing's on the wall: cloud services. Apart from the scale of the project — nobody spends $1 billion to handle employee emails, file shares and collaboration suites — the company's acquisition of Lala is further proof that Apple is betting big on the cloud. While this doesn't necessarily add up to an energy efficient data center, the fact that Olivier Sanche is on the company's payroll as Director of Global Data Center Operations is a good indicator. As eBay's former data center guru, Sanche's passion for energy efficiency and eco-friendly computing will undoubtedly reverberate throughout the facility's server-packed aisles as they serve up media (and apps, lots of them) to iPad users.
Data Center Renewable Energy on the Rise
Greenpeace rightfully calls on web giants to wield their clout and insist on renewable energy for their data centers (much like my colleague Derrick has in the past). Guess what? They already are. Yahoo and VMware's data centers in central Washington are hydro-powered. You can add Microsoft and Google to the list of companies that have sited data centers in areas serviced with cheap, environmentally desirable hydroelectric power. Unfortunately, Facebook didn't quite anticipate the backlash for situating its first data center in a coal-powered region, but it's a misstep it won't likely repeat.
Accelerated Dematerialization
Here's a reason to actually root for the iPad and growth of the web tablet market in general: dematerialization. Take the Kindle. According to the Cleantech Group, each one of Amazon's e-readers, on average, delivers an estimated savings of 168 kg of CO2 per year. Strong iPad sales will help grow the e-book market (via its iBookstore); accelerate the dematerialization of dead tree books; and shift consumption to efficient cloud infrastructures from a publishing industry with comparatively high emissions due to manufacturing and transport. With other print publishers from magazines to newspapers eyeing the devices, as well, the potential for dematerialization could spread even futher.
A Multifaceted Cloud
The last, and perhaps most important reason why the iPad isn't the harbinger of a cloud-based future that will wreak environmental havok is that the cloud is bigger than any single device or device category. Certainly, web tablets will increase media consumption and impact consumer-facing web services, but corporate IT also factors into cloud computing's growth.
IBM, Verizon and AT&T continually add cloud capacity. However, their clouds are strictly targeted to businesses that want to grow their IT resources without adding more systems to their server rooms, or in some cases, building new data centers. If even a handful of efficient and expertly managed cloud computing centers end up displacing hundreds of server closets and/or dozens of past-their-prime data centers, it's an environmental victory no matter how you cut it — and one that no army of media-consuming iPad users can diminish.

On Tues, Nov. 28 Richard Shoap, director of The Antigone of Sophocles, An English Version and Wilson's adjunct Prof. of Theater, finalized Antigone's casting results. Antigone's Assistant Director and President of the Kittochtinny Players, Candice Grant, collaborated with Shoap during the decision making process. Auditions took place on Sun, Nov. 21 and Mon, Nov. 22 in the Allen Auditorium of Warfield Hall. During the auditions, potential candidates warmed up with a theater game. Shoap then assigned them scenes from the play's script to read. Each candidate read about three or four times.
The production will showcase the talents of:
No Small Parts
Shoap says, "Everyone seems pleased with their parts. In this play there aren't really any small parts, there are several medium sized parts. Even the members of the Greek chorus will each have a distinct personality." Shoap believes that King Creon is the most challenging role as this part. It "has the largest number of lines and stage time. There is also quite a wide range of emotions moving from grief, humility and arrogance."
Mark Your Calendars
The Kittochtinny Players, Wilson's drama club, is performing this work with permission of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company. The translators are Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald. The play runs on Fri, April 8 and Sat, April 9 at Laird Hall. The club will announce curtain times at a later date.
About the Production
Sophocles's Antigone is a popular Greek tragedy. It speaks to modern audiences, as the title character must battle between tough choices. Shoap says, "It's very accessible by dealing with issues of conflict between the state and the individual complexities of the characters."
Grant '13 says, "Personally, I think the audience will receive it well. It is a very interesting play, and despite the language, it is very easy to follow and get into."
Looking for Help Behind the Scenes
The Wilson College Government Association (WCGA) provided a grant to support costuming. At this point they need more help with costuming as well as technical people for stage management, lighting and sound. If you are interested in being part of this opportunity, please contact Richard Shoap at email@example.com.

'Everyone's together at the club and moving forward'
Posted: November 12, 2012|
NIGEL Adkins reckons Southampton proved they are a team heading in the right direction after they "dominated" Swansea City at St Mary's on Saturday.
Adkins was denied only a second win of the Premier League season after a defensive mess allowed Nathan Dyer to earn Swansea a point.
Dyer netted against his old club after 20-year-old former Gillingham keeper Paulo Gazzaniga played a short pass to Maya Yoshida.
He was dispossessed by Dyer, who raced through to level after Morgan Schneiderlin's clever header had put Southampton on course for all three points.

The draw eases some of the pressure on Adkins, who many suggested would be sacked last week.
It could have been so much better for the Saints after a disappointing Swansea performance but, as ever, Adkins was keen to stress the positives.
"Because of where we are in the division, obviously there is a lot of media attention on us at the moment," he said.
"But you look at the composure of the players. The shape was good, the way we passed the ball, the way we created opportunities, the way everyone stuck together — for such a young side that's very pleasing.
"We realise we have got to get results, but look at the performance and the character we've shown. That shows you that everyone is pulling in the same direction and that's important.
"Everyone's together at the football club and moving in the same direction, which is forward.
"We've dominated the game for long spells. Obviously Swansea are a very good passing side, and that was demonstrated in the first five minutes, but I thought we had a good defensive shape about us."
Southampton's troubles this season have been at the back — they have conceded 29 goals already in the league — yet they limited Swansea to very few opportunities this weekend.
Had Gazzaniga punted long rather than looked for Yoshida 17 minutes from time, the home side probably would have won the game.
But Adkins, who preferred the young Argentine to the far more experienced Artur Boruc and Kelvin Davis, refused to castigate his keeper.
"One unfortunate decision from a young goalkeeper has resulted in the ball in the back of our net, but there are a lot of positives that we've got to take from this game and we will do," he added.
"We could probably talk about individual errors in every game we have played this season.
"We have got a young goalkeeper who is getting better all the time and he will learn from that — it's about making the right decision at the right time. "Unfortunately Swansea have gone and capitalised, but we won't single any individuals out.
"I think when you look at the performance level of the team you can see we are improving all the time defensively. That's a positive — we are moving in the right direction."
Southampton had a handful of penalty shouts in the game, one of which saw Adam Lallana harshly booked for diving following a coming together with Ashley Williams.
Lallana tumbled again under a challenge from Garry Monk late on and, though Swansea's captain got a touch on the ball, the home side felt hard done by.
"There have been a few shouts. I have not seen the video footage back yet," Adkins said.
"The referee has got to make the decisions. I asked him after the game and he said there were no penalties. The disappointing thing is that Adam Lallana got booked for diving when there was a case for a penalty.
"We should have had a penalty at West Brom the other night, but we just have to keep getting in the area and giving the referee decisions to make."

Rip Fence for the AK
I got tried of aligning the vise every time I milled a receiver.
The table became crowded when trying to do other milling operations.
The following was the solution to that delima.
The table is now open for other work. The fence stays in alignment and is held by 5 -5/16 X ? bolts
The face of the fence was milled in place and will remain parallel with the table.

AS New Scientist goes to press, north-east North America is reeling in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy. People are dead, millions are without electricity and damage estimates top $20 billion. And that is far from the full impact. Over the next few weeks, the true extent will become clear to millions of people who must now clean up. Whether the implications are clear to their leaders is another question.
As with most problems, the risks were anticipated and planned for in a linear way. Danger of fire? Equip fire departments. Possible electricity failure? Turn off transformers and give hospitals generators. Risk of floods? Build barriers. But in New York City all three risks hit at once, and then some. Houses burned because firefighters couldn't get to them or operate equipment. Electricity substations exploded as record floods hit. Two hospitals were evacuated as backup generators failed.
Things will not get back to normal soon. Much of the infrastructure that makes modern megacities possible, from subway tunnels to food deliveries and ATMs, isn't working, and won't for a while. The impacts will seep out globally, as a financial and transport hub has shut.
Oddly, the lesson of Sandy is the same as the lesson of the Eurozone crisis and other recent events such as the Egyptian revolution: complex systems play by their own rules. You can't manage them in a linear way. We live in a web of systems: if one falls, it takes others with it.
Such systems can be made more resilient, though to do so will be expensive. Money-saving efficiency would have to be sacrificed for more redundancy, with backup systems for backup systems.
New York will pick itself up, dust itself down and get on with it. But as climate change bites, there will be more and bigger storms, and other mega-events such as crop failure, political instability and financial crises. The knock-on effects will accumulate.
All complex networks are susceptible to collapse. How many body blows can ours take before it can no longer stand back up? Resilience may be expensive, but as Sandy showed this week, we need a lot more of it.

X-Plane 10 Global ($59.99 + shipping)
- Platforms: Universal (Windows, Mac, and Linux)
- Features: World-wide scenery, with more than 40 aircraft
- Recommended system specs: See here »
- Price: $59.99 + shipping
X-Plane 10 Global is the standard, home-use edition of X-Plane 10. The DVDs include installers for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux platforms, as well as world-wide global scenery.
This purchase includes free Internet updates for the entire X-Plane 10.xx run—that is, you'll receive version 10.00, version 10.20, 10.30, etc. all the way up to 10.99 if it exists.
When you click the purchasing button below, you will be taken to our secure shopping cart service, Ultracart. We accept payment via Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Orders can be shipped world-wide.
Please note that for commercial use (any use of X-Plane other than use in your own home), you must purchase a Professional-Use USB Key.
X-Plane 10 Global ($59.99 via Steam)
This version of X-Plane has all the same features and benefits of the version above, except it is a digital download through Steam (a third party website). When you click the purchasing button below, you will be taken to the Steam online store where you can purchase and download the game after creating a free account.
Note that problems with setting up a Steam account or downloading the game should be directed to Steam. Customer support for using the Steam version is available through Aerosoft. Please direct any questions or issues regarding the Steam digital download directly to one of these parties.
Global Scenery Upgrade for X-Plane 10 Regional Editions purchased in stores ($29.99 + shipping)
If you purchased X-Plane 10 Regional (which includes only some of the world's scenery, rather than the whole world) and would now like to upgrade to the global scenery package, use the ordering link below. You will receive DVDs which will upgrade your installation of X-Plane 10 Regional to X-Plane 10 Global. These DVDs are compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
If you have a copy of X-Plane 10 Global (the only full version of X-Plane 10 sold here at X-Plane.com), you already have all the scenery on these discs, so there is no reason to purchase them. These discs will only be of use if you own a Regional edition of X-Plane 10.
X-Plane 10 Home-Use USB Key ($29.99 + shipping)
If you would like to have a USB key instead of a DVD to keep you out of demo mode, order this key. This key does not contain X-Plane or any scenery, so you must still order X-Plane. This key will simply get you out of demo mode without a DVD, which is convenient for people without DVD drives and the like. We are selling these keys for one penny below our price, so these keys are as cheap as we can sell them.
Note that before using this USB key, you will need to download and install the HASP USB key drivers.
X-Plane 9 for Home Use ($39 + shipping)
Note: X-Plane 9 is not compatible with Mac operating system 10.10 Yosemite.
If your computer is too old to run X-Plane 10, you can still purchase X-Plane 9.
When you click the purchasing button below, you will be taken to our secure shopping cart service, Ultracart. We accept payment via Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Orders can be shipped world-wide.
If you are new to X-Plane, you will probably also want to purchase flight controls. We recommend the joysticks, yokes, and rudder pedals created by CH Products, all of which are compatible with X-Plane and of excellent quality. We recommend purchasing these from XForce PC, a small hardware company run by Laminar Research employees.

Art of the Menu: A Site for Hungry Typogravores
Art of the Menu: A Site for Hungry Typogravores
It's easy enough to point out rookie design mistakes on a menu, such as using the cringe-inducing Papyrus (Stop It!) or excessive dingbats and drop shadows. But how often do we ignore our rumbling tummies long enough to note good menu design?
Art of the Menu recognizes this seemingly utilitarian object as a true art form and celebrates the root of a well-designed menu: expertly executed typography. "It has to be clear, legible (sometimes just under candle light), and representative of the cuisine. Menus are a light version of data visualization and information design: Helping the diner navigate between courses, options, and prices," the folks at AotM declare. "At a restaurant, the menu is the ultimate ambassador for the establishment's identity: Logo front and center on the cover. A good menu adds to the overall brand experience."
If you're looking for a good place to start browsing the collection, take a gander at the Best of 2011, which we feature a sampling of below.
The Blue Pig Tavern—Cape May, NJ
The Alembic—San Francisco, CA
Betlem—Barcelona, Spain
Kay Bros Barbeque—Gainesville, FL
A division of UnderConsideration, the Art of the Menu highlights menu design from all over the world and provides a great source of design inspiration; you can search by location or cuisine at the site.

Hall helpers' plea for vital kitchen aid
Posted: November 16, 2012|
MEMBERS of a community hall committee in the Gwendraeth Valley are calling on the public to keep them cooking in a new kitchen.
Cefneithin and Foelgastell Welfare Hall, which is run by a committee of volunteers, is in desperate need of building materials to rebuild and refurbish its kitchen area — and has taken inspiration from TV home improvements show DIY SOS in an attempt to make it happen.
Events co-ordinator and bookings clerk Linsey Perry said: "For those who haven't seen it, it's that fab programme where they get members of the community to pull together and help out with building materials and anything else needed to refurbish, rebuild or replace things in their homes, so we figured we'd give this a shot.
"Of course, it's without the help of the lovely Nick Knowles — though if he and his team are free, we would welcome them with open arms."

Though the committee is currently applying for a grant for the work, they said it could be a long process and were calling on anyone who could donate a former display kitchen or their own unwanted units.
"We would be forever grateful," added Linsey. "It doesn't need to be new, just in good condition. The one that we currently have in place is falling apart at the seams and is becoming more and more unsightly every day."
Calls have also been made for members of the public to help refurbish the kitchen when the materials do become available.
The committee has also appealed for help via its Facebook page, Y Neuadd.
Since a new committee was formed two years ago, the hall has become the hub of the community.
Previously only used by a long-standing gymnastic group, it now hosts a sewing club, karate club and two Zumba classes a week, along with a number of other events including fetes and seasonal parties.
It has also set up an annual summer event, Parti Cornel Carwyn.
Anyone who can help the hall is asked to email firstname.lastname@example.com or speak to any member of the committee.
