Bar association poll lists local lawyers' preferences for clerks, judges, DA
The Memphis Bar Assocation released the results of its qualification poll for local judicial, district attorney general and court clerk candidates Monday, a guide it hopes will help voters sort through a deluge of candidates in the Aug. 7 Shelby County general election.
Eighty-one candidates are vying for 40 judgeships in just the county election alone. Voters will also encounter retention elections for 23 statewide judges on the August ballot.
The MBA said in a news release that the poll was sent to all licensed and practicing attorneys in Shelby County, and that 1,383 of them participated. Respondents were asked to pick the best qualified candidate in each race or say "no opinion" if they didn't know. The poll didn't require respondents to answer every question. Uncontested races weren't polled.
In the high-profile district attorney general's race, four out of five respondents to the poll believed incumbent Republican Amy Weirich was best qualified to serve. She received 79.4 percent of the votes, Democratic nominee Joe Brown received 15.3 percent and 5.3 percent of respondents had no opinion.
Poll respondents also favored incumbent Republican Joy Touliatos in the juvenile court clerk race. Touliatos was picked as most qualified by 63.1 percent of respondents. Democrat Henri Brooks was chosen by 6 percent of voters. Nearly 30 percent said they had no opinion.
"The results reflect the collective opinions of the poll participants, and the MBA is not taking a position regarding or endorsing any particular candidate," said Kirk Caraway, the president of the MBA.

Cam Phillips
still in the running for the starting job as my #1 hiking hat
Bought one of these a few weeks ago in the Retro Khaki. It's a nice sun hat and works well for hiking. I would prefer that the underside of the brim be dark to reduce glare, and while the 2.5" brim width provides good visibility, I have grown accustomed to the addtional coverage provided by the 3.5" (4" in the back) coverage of my Mountain Hardwear sun hat, and now I find that I like the extra coverage better. Patagonia does make a hat with that wide a brim, the Sun Booney (which also has a black underside to the brim), but that hat is not size-adjustable. This is a good hat, and is still in the running for the starting job as my #1 hiking hat, but I think I'm going to roll with the Mountain Hardwear hat when I go out to hike this morning.

About the ManufacturerDaniel D. Friel, Sr. founded the EdgeCraft Corporation in 1984. How he built an enterprise, that in only a few short years has become the world leader in cutting edge technology, is a true American success story. As he neared the end of his 40-year career with the DuPont Company, Friel inventoried his skills. Born in 1920, he had worked as a scientist, development engineer and manager of many diverse businesses. He had done research in a variety of areas including physics, chemistry, optics, electronics and even gravity. He garnered numerous patents for development of sophisticated instruments.
Always enthralled by knife sharpening, Friel included in his list the invention of a truly effective electric knife sharpener that would work on a wide variety of knives, particularly, fine quality gourmet knives. He rescued a 20-year-old set of Gerber knives from a closet. They were a present from his wife June, and to his great frustration, he had never been able to put a satisfactory edge on them.
With fierce determination and a personal deadline of three years to show himself adequate progress on the project, Friel set to work in a basement laboratory and then sought the assistance of other professionals. "They were the nucleus of the EdgeCraft team," recalls Friel. He created thirteen prototypes before he came up with one that satisfied him. Soon after its introduction, the Chef's Choice Diamond Hone Sharpener earned the acclaim of food experts and chefs worldwide, including Pierre Franey, Jacques Pépin and the late Craig Claiborne.
Friel compares the day he left DuPont to follow his second career to the day he walked away from Johns Hopkins University after earning a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering."Unlike the day I left Johns Hopkins, when I left DuPont I could proceed with the knowledge and confidence gained from some 40 years of hands-on experience," Friel recalls. "I saw a need and I had the confidence that I could deliver."

Great Machine for home use
les from Ashburn, VA – Verified Buyer
Using it for a year now and slicing everything at is much better than pre-sliced at store and will not dry out as quick. Pros: easy use and easy clean Cons: none
jill from Monroe, ME – Verified Buyer
This is a sweet little slicer, light enough to move around even for a weakling like me. Have cooked up an italian roast beef and turkey breast, and they slice nice and paper thin they way we like it. Only issue is the safety feature, which I understand, but it makes it a bit difficult with my arthritic hands. You have to hold on the pressure while slicing to keep it going, but it is manageable. Would recommend this for the home cook.
Works Great
SL from Charlotte, NC – Verified Buyer– Top 50 Reviewer
Slicer was a gift and the feedback has been wonderful - good price - good quality
Electric Slicer
Patricia Halley from Nixa MO
Lightweight but performs like a heavyweight, easy to move from storage area to counter area and slices smoothly. Excellent choice.
quiet machine, can slice very thin
Yuhou from west vancouver, CANADA – Verified Buyer
I like to cook lamp in winter, with Chinese style. It's need to slice the lamp very thin. The sliced lamp is so expensive in Canada, so I brought thins machine to slice lamp myself. It very easy to use, easy to clean, and quiet I like it.
good machine
kenny from Bremerton, WA. – Verified Buyer
The machine works well and the controls move easily. The motor runs rather quietly. The table seems a bit small. I use it to slice up meats for lunch meat and cheeses for same, to save money. I returned the first 2 slicers I ordered of different brands and kept this one. This is a keeper.I also bought the straight blade and use it, rather than the serrated blade. It works well. Cleaning behind the blade was maybe annoying, but necessary.

Company failed to avoid risks to protected birds
Staff Report
FRISCO — A Portland, Oregon-based wind energy company operating in Wyoming will pay fines, restitution and community service totaling $2.5 million for the death of protected birds at wind turbine facilities in Carbon and Converse Counties. The two wind projects are comprised of 237 large wind turbines sited on private and company-owned land.
PacifiCorp Energy, a subsidiary of PacifiCorp, Oregon, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Wyoming to violating the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The company is also on a five-year probation and must implement an environmental compliance plan aimed at preventing bird deaths at the company's four commercial wind projects in the state.

02/03/2015 By Anonymous
My daughter was so impressed with the shoes I bought that she wanted a pair too. She is over the moon with how comfortable the flats are and the fact that they are elasticated. Like me, she has difficulty keeping on traditional ballet flats. We will both be buying more in the future. True to size too, so no guesswork on sizing. Wonderful!

Press release from Marketwire
Richmont Mines Announces Executive Appointments: Paul Carmel as President and CEO and Christian Pichette as Executive Vice President and COO
Thursday, May 10, 2012
Richmont Mines Announces Executive Appointments: Paul Carmel as President and CEO and Christian Pichette as Executive Vice President and COO08:00 EDT Thursday, May 10, 2012MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA--(Marketwire - May 10, 2012) - After conducting an extensive, national recruitment search, Richmont Mines Inc. (TSX:RIC)(NYSE Amex:RIC), ("Richmont" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Carmel, P. Eng., as its President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 22, 2012. Mr. Carmel will be based at Richmont's corporate office in Montreal.Mr. Carmel is a well known mining executive in the Canadian gold industry. Prior to accepting this position at Richmont, Mr. Carmel was the Managing Director and Head of Mining - Investment Banking for Desjardins Capital Markets.Greg Chamandy, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Richmont Mines, stated: "We were very focused in our search for the ideal President and CEO for Richmont as we were looking to secure the talents of a seasoned, mining executive with extensive hands-on experience in mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and investor relations, in addition to having a comprehensive background and a professional designation in mining engineering. The historical strength of Richmont has been its excellent operational capabilities, mine building expertise and mine management. The Board recognized that the Corporation had a void, however, in the corporate finance side of its business, especially in light of our focused strategy to grow the Corporation into an intermediate gold producer by means of organic growth through major projects, such as our Wasamac project, and by means of M&A and strategic partnerships. Paul will be a major asset in both of these avenues, as he has extensive experience in project financing and, with regards to mergers and acquisitions, his previous positions have afforded him the opportunity to meet and tour virtually every junior and intermediate gold company in Canada as well as those in many other parts of the world. These extremely valuable experiences will support Richmont in the pursuit of its growth and shareholder value-creation strategies. We are very fortunate and happy to have been able to recruit Paul Carmel as our President and CEO."Concurrent with the announcement of the appointment of Paul Carmel as President and CEO of Richmont, the Corporation is pleased to announce the promotion of Christian Pichette to the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. In this role, Mr. Pichette will be responsible for all aspects of the administration and management of the Corporation's operations. He will report to Mr. Carmel. Prior to this appointment, Mr. Pichette served as Richmont's Vice-President, Operations, a position he has held since joining Richmont in September 2005. Since that time, Mr. Pichette has been responsible for all of the Corporation's mining, milling, and exploration activities. Before joining Richmont, Mr. Pichette was the General Manager at Cambior's Niobec Mine from April 2001 through September 2005, and prior to that was General Manager at Barrick Gold's Bousquet and East Malartic Complex from April 1997 through April 2001.Greg Chamandy continued, "The two executive appointments announced today are important steps towards our goal of building a world class corporate team for Richmont to complement the strong management and operating team, and Board of Directors already in place. We will be looking to further strengthen this team with other key executives as the Corporation grows and progresses towards its goal of becoming an intermediate gold producer."About Paul CarmelPrior to joining Richmont, Mr. Carmel was the Managing Director and Head of Mining - Investment Banking for Desjardins Capital Markets from 2009 until today.

"No Place to Hide" has action scenes that cropped up in the first six regular episodes but is missing several of the show's trademark aspects, most notably that infectious theme from Johnny Williams (later, John Williams of Star Wars fame) and the scheming presence of Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris) and his alternately menacing and comical robot ("It does not compute"). As the series progresses (or degenerates, depending on your taste), Harris's Smith changes from pantomime villain, a saboteur who is trying to kill the family, into pantomime idiot whose foolishness, cowardice, and avarice are an endless source of plots. It mostly makes do with the regular cast plus an array of shaggy-suited, snarling aliens, but you do get sterling ham from visiting astronauts such as Warren Oates ("Welcome Stranger"), Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet ("War of the Robots"), and a very young Kurt Russell ("The Challenge"). Stories about surviving on an alien world give way to lifts from fairy tale, myth, and old movies as Smith gets hold of a wishing cap, becomes a giant, is chosen as a sacrificial king, turns the children over to an alien zoo, squeaks in fright as a werewolf approaches, or is cursed with a platinum Midas touch. --Kim Newman

I agree. The first 5 episodes were just great but then the show slipped into the "Dr. Smith Show" (which I still pretty much love, but it was NOT the original intention and the show was SO MUCH BETTER when it was done as a serious Sci Fi show) Those first 5 had everything going for them...

After vsync was enabled via nvidia-settings I noticed that the FPS where limited to 60. Great ! I can hear the difference ! Fan makes less noise ! Don't ask me if it was the CPU or GPU fan... But I saw also the difference on the Nvidia Thermal Monitor: less heat.
60Hz is my LCD screen refresh-rate. Render more frames that will never be displayed is just useless.
But now if I'm not using an action game, and I would like to tell the driver, "just render a maximum of 20 or 40 FPS... it's far enough for my needs..." Is there a hidden setting where I can do this ? If the driver is able to limit the frames to the screen refresh rate... I'm sure it would not be a big issue to limit the rendered frames rates to another value.
PS: I don't have an option like "FPS limit" in my games.
Thanks and best regards.
I like you, MdMax. You seem like the sort of guy who likes to think about things and work out better ways. I always admire this sort of a quality in someone.
Anyway, back to the point, what you're looking to do is, if you've got suitably accepting hardware, relatively easy to accomplish. The trick you've already used to limit framerates by enabling the VSync can just be recycled. Way to do it is to use the nVidia control panel to create custom resolutions, each at refresh rates at your desired speed. Switch between the refresh rates using either a key combo, or applying to your EXEs, or by using the in-game resolution list, which usually draws from the list Windows provides, whcih you're able to add to using custom resolutions.

Evonik exits Steag
12:43 PM MDT | August 29, 2014
Evonik Industries today said that it signed a contract with Rhine-Ruhr, a grouping of several municipal utility companies in Germany's Ruhr region, to divest its remaining 49% stake in Steag (Essen), an energy company, for €570 million ($751.4 million). Rhine-Ruhr in 2011 bought a 51% share in Steag and said it would acquire the rest within a period of five years. The divestment is in line with Evonik's strategy of concentrating on specialty...

Have struggled with the same thoughts over the last year or so, and have been lucky to go out with someone that has used both 7x17 and 12x20 (scootermm). So here are my impressions from watching him work (and he makes it look easy). The 7x17 is a pano format, it feels wide, yet Matt managed to shoot both horizontal and vertical. With the 12x20 (very close to the golden mean BTW) the format does not feel as wide. Both 'look' good when printed.
You mentioned that you are also using some of the alt process, does this include plt/pld, if so consider the amount of metal required to coat a sheet of paper, size of contact printer - I would not recommend a split back contact frame for 12x20, a vacuum frame for sure. Trays for the 'big' prints, negative sleeves, etc all need to scale up.
Not trying to discourage you at all, more of what to expect with the step up - you may need a new darkcloth, bag to carry it in as well as new lens and tripod. A Fuji 450C or Nikkor 450 and a 355 (g-claron maybe) would work great for 12x20 or 7x17. In the end, I opted for 7x11 - because I like a slightly smaller format - it works for me, but I do like the perspective of the 7x11. Monty's thoughts about 10x12 are very good...it would actually give you a 5x12, 7x11, 8x12 and 10x12 or just about anything else smaller just by cutting the film down or having a back made for the camera.
The Ritter or Chamonix would be an excellent purchase. Noted that you are in Japan, so the issue of what to do if you want something modified, or if something breaks is not the same as it would be here in the US. Richard sales a DVD instructional video that details how to take one of his cameras from horizontal to vertical, it's pretty cool how he designed the cameras. Changing formats is pretty simple too, like a Canham you just change out the back and bellows. If it were me and I could afford the camera, film, filmholders and had the room, and the back to haul it all...I would go with the 12x20 - then you would have a large number of formats to work with. With 7x17 you have 7x17 and 7x11 and say 3-5x7's per sheet.
Good luck, and have fun..

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In Sao Mamede, near the university and botanical gardens
The Altis Hotel is located in Sao Mamede, an area of Lisbon just west of Avenida da Liberdade, the main artery of the city. The tree-lined street features numerous high-end hotels and shops.
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a a beautiful, colorful city overlooking the Atlantic. Like Rome and San Francisco, Lisbon is a city built on seven hills; but it has an Athens-like vibe with white-washed, red-roofed buildings, a fishing community, and laid-back people. Though many buildings were destroyed in the Great Earthquake of 1755, Lisbon still has a rich history (including historic buildings and cobblestone streets).
Originally referred to as the "eighth wonder of the world," Lisbon was a major importer of exotic goods from Europe and Asia. But nowadays, Lisbon can be overlooked due the popularity of the quaint, seaside beach towns nearby. But those who love the city can tell visitors the many things they miss when skipping over Lisbon; it is a city of iconic historic buildings (such as St. George's Castle), extensive museums, and fabulous shopping -- particularly for gold, silver, and antiques.
With 300 rooms, the Altis Hotel is the largest property in the Altis chain. Elegant rooms are a decent size with plush bedding, marble bathrooms, and TVs embedded in the mirrors. A major renovation was completed in 2011, and rooms feel fresh and contemporary. The hotel's long list of amenities includes a restaurant on the 12th floor with great city views, a cozy lobby bar, and a coffee shop. The Altis also has a health club with an indoor pool, fitness center, and several treatment rooms. While this property has a reputation as a business hotel, it also attracts tourists with its convenient location near numerous attractions. A spacious marble lobby features large art installations and plenty of space to sit. However, some guests have complained that the breakfast buffet is a little disappointing, and there's a pesky fee for Wi-Fi in some rooms.

Two Companies Set to Have Happy Holidays
In the last week or so we have seen US retail sale numbers that beat expectations, a continuing decline in consumer sentiment, encouraging words from under pressure retailer JC Penney (JCP) and a big beat of earnings expectations by Macy's (M). This morning saw slightly disappointing Q3 earnings for retail giant Wal-Mart (WMT) and a big fat miss from department store Kohls (KSS). Last month, Coach (COH) reported so-so numbers, but the stock was punished for falling US sales. Michael Kors (KORS), meanwhile, continues to grow.
If you take all of this data together you end up with a picture of the US consumer that is as clear as mud. The only clear thing is a clear warning as to the dangers of placing too much faith in any single indicator. It is hardly surprising that messages are mixed, however. No matter how convenient it is to think of "the US consumer" as one entity, it isn't. A look at the numbers shows that some parts of the consumer body are doing OK, while others are still feeling the pain.
Those at the very top are doing fine and the very bottom is still struggling. Tiffany (TIF) continues to trade around all time highs and Lamborghini sales are holding up, but there are still a record number of food stamp recipients. In the middle, however, where real economic growth is driven, there are encouraging signs.
If you put your rose colored specs on, then the juxtaposition between consumer spending and sentiment can be seen as a positive. The Thompson Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer confidence was reported at 72.0 last week, the lowest level for several years while, at the same time, consumer spending increased by 0.2%. Now it should be said that a 0.2% increase in spending is hardly robust, but any increase as confidence falls is notable.
The differing fortunes of the Macy's of this world compared to Wal-Mart and Kohls is also a reason for cautious optimism. What has been missing in this slow, grinding recovery from the events of 2008/9 is, as politicians constantly remind us, a robust middle class. A shift away from big box discount stores and back to mall department stores is, therefore, a welcome thing.
When this early evidence of a subtle shift in retail is combined with a slight slowing of the last year's robust vehicle demand in the US, the outlook for certain sectors of consumer goods and retail is extremely positive. The US middle class seems to have made the big pressing purchases (cars) and is moving on to more frivolous things such as clothing and consumer durables.
So, as usual, one question stands out. If the middle class really is recovering and spending is likely to increase, how should traders and investors play that move? Which companies serving the consumer market will have Happy Holidays?
In general I have an intense dislike of trendy stock as it is prone to get overvalued very quickly and trends come and go just as fast. When it comes to brands that appeal to the middle class "aspirational" shopper, however, trendiness is what it's all about. The obverse of this is the reason even acceptable quarterly numbers from COH saw the stock lose 10%. Rapid growth in the US has slowed. A case can be made that it has been surpassed by meteoric rises in Chinese sales that bode well for COH in the future, but that loss of trendiness in the core market worries many. The problem with aspirational shoppers is that, once they make something popular that very popularity causes it to lose its appeal.
For that reason, I think COH will have a disappointing holiday season, at least at home. There are two other companies that serve that middle class market, however, that I believe will continue to grow as gifts are bought. Both Michael Kors (KORS) and Under Armor (UA) have had phenomenal years, with their stock up 61% and 70% respectively year to date. This would normally be a warning sign, but in clothing, trendy is what counts.
Anecdotal evidence is not normally a good basis for stock picking, but in the case of trendy sectors such as clothing it can help to judge sentiment. My wife has come recently to the KORS brand, while my 11 year old son shows a marked preference for UA, not just in sportswear, but in clothes in general. In many ways, we are fairly typical of the aspirational, middle class shopper that we are talking about here, so it isn't too much of a stretch to believe that out Holiday expenditure on these brands will be widely replicated.
As the Holiday season approaches there are, I believe, clear signs that the US middle class is recovering. This means that somebody will win big. The popularity of both KORS and UA will undoubtedly wane at some point in the future, but for now they seem best placed to benefit from any wallet loosening that we may see in the next two months. May I be the first to say "Happy Holidays" at least to KORS and UA.

"Modeling in environmental studies is a way to tie together what we understand about various aspects of the environment so that we can determine how the entire system works," notes Wollheim of the Water Systems Analysis Group within EOS, who will conduct the core modeling to translate measurements in individual stream sections, or "reaches", up to entire river systems and, ultimately, continental scales. "The models I'll work with will help us to better understand how and why ecosystems are changing, given climate variations and various human activities."
Part of the experiment will involve "consumer manipulation" within a measurable section of a stream by taking away or adding animals like aquatic insects or fish to see what effects these animals have on the overall stream processes.
The experiments and modeling results will be relevant to ecology as a whole because few "coupled and nested" experimental and theoretical scaling exercises have been undertaken in any environment. A coupled, nested environment is one that links many smaller parts with a larger whole in this case, the overall flow of water links different stream reaches into a larger river network.
Says Wollheim, "Very few studies have tried to understand processes across these different scales to determine, for example, how does carbon storage measured in individual stream reaches relate to carbon storage of an entire river network?"
Insight into how nature works at this level is necessary to understand both whole-system dynamics as well as to manage human impacts on entire watersheds.
McDowell and Wollheim are among several UNH scientists recently funded by NSF for three of the 14 projects competitively won under its new macrosystems biology program. EOS researchers Jingfeng Xiao and Scott Ollinger, and Steve Frolking were awarded for two add

Dr. J. Jason Wendel's Ratings
Dr. Wendel is awesome. I had a third of my ear removed because of cancer. He reconstructed my ear and it is healed and looks just like my other ear. He was referred to me by the doctor that did the surgery to remove the cancer. He took a skin graft from my neck to make the new ear and you can't even see the scar on my neck. If I decide to have any cosmetic surgery he is the only Dr. that I would even consider so I would suggest anyone reading this that is considering plastic surgery to definitely go to him. He and the whole staff of are super friendly and very professional. The service that his staff gives makes you look forward to your visit.

I chose Dr Wendel from other reviews and his expertise/technique. It was the best decision I ever made!!! Other peers of mine, went to other Surgeon's but Dr Wendel is by far more superior. He was a class act from day one and my breasts are amazing!! His Keller Funnel technique truly minimized my down-time and swelling.

Dr. J.J. Wendel is the best plastic surgeon, hands down. My surgery was not by choice. I had skin cancer on my ear and had 1/3 of it removed. Dr. Wendel did a graft from my neck and made me a new ear. That happened on Feb. 18, 2015. Today June 8, 2015, my ear looks amazing. If you didn't know that I had surgery on it, you would never notice it. Dr. Wendel and his staff are awesome. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Wendel did a facelift for me because I was so self-conscious of my sagging neck. I was so pleased when I went into his office and was met with a mixture of professionalism and warm regard. Upon meeting with Dr. Wendel, I knew I had come to the right place. After the surgery, the nurses who attending me at the hospital sang his praises as well. Based on my experience, I know Dr. Wendel to be an excellent doctor. I have had no complications. I have recommended him to several of my friends already. Thank you, Dr. Wendel.

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Dr. Wendel and his staff. After my consultation I felt very comfortable with Dr. Wendel performing surgery on me. His staff was very friendly and professional. I couldn't be more pleased with with everyone and with my lip implant results. I plan on recommending Dr. Wendel to anyone looking for a knowledgable plastic surgeon.

I cannot brag enough on the wonderful experience I had with Dr. Wendel. I had contemplated breast augmentation for 10 years, but always backed out over fear of looking/feeling fake, being too big and regretting it, and feeling guilty over changing the body God gave me. For years I bought and wore the most padded bras to help my shape appear better under clothing. I am naturally bigger in my hips, and I am okay with that and was actually okay with how I Iooked with the ridiculously padded bra ... However deep down I always wished that was really me. I was extremely apprehensive during my consult, asked 5,000 + questions, and stressed how much I wanted to look natural because I didn't want anyone to know. I didn't want to be big - I just wanted to fill out my clothing and be the size I appeared to be out in public with my very very padded bras! Dr. Wendel was not only personable but he answered every question & completely understood the look and size I wanted. I had met with other doctors in the past, but never had I left feeling so confident that I found the perfect one. My gut told me to go for it, and before I left the building I had my surgery booked. The staff at the surgery center were excellent and getting in/out was so much easier & less stressful than a large hospital. My time in the actual operating room was only about 30 mins! (In my mind I was having MAJOR surgery, but I was realize that to Dr. Wendel it was easy peasy!). I remember waking up and slowly getting dressed and walking out with a smile on my face. My driver was shocked to see how awake I was. I felt tight in the chest area but had no pain. I took 4 days off work to rest, & give my body plenty of nutrition to heal. I kept waiting for my "bad" day to come... But it honestly never did. The worst part for me was learning to sleep on my back all night & had a severe headache one day. The recovery was shockingly MUCH easier than I could have imagined! It was honestly a better & easier recovery than getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed! Knowing now what a simple cosmetic procedure it really was, makes me wish I would've done it a long time ago. On top of that, my results are exactly what I wanted and I am thrilled with my new body! The size, shape, & natural look have exceeded my expectations. I of course trusted Dr. Wendel, but my results look even better than I was anticipating. I am still wearing my same size clothes, and absolutely no one has a clue!! I am still a "pear shape" so I still feel like me... Just an enhanced version. It has been 2 months now and I forget I even have them sometimes and feel more natural now than ever. Wearing 80% padding made me feel much more "fake" than I do now. I could go on and on about Dr. Wendel's bedside manner, follow up, etc (he is great and trust me you will love him) but ultimately what was important to me was his skills. My results and entire experience couldn't have been better, and I think this is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am officially a huge fan of Dr. Wendel & would gladly refer any of my friends and family to him. Now only is he a great person who makes you feel comfortable, but he is truly a great and talented surgeon!

Dr. Wendel is the best plastic surgeon in Nashville. Hands down. I met with other doctors before my mommy makeover, and there was just no comparison. I've also compared my results to some of my friends that used other doctors before me, and now they want to meet with Dr. Wendel, too! He makes you feel very comfortable, and he answers every question with patience. That's pretty important if you're letting someone examine the parts of you're body that don't feel good about! His staff is friendly and his his surgical fees are reasonable. I will never use or refer my friends or family to anyone else.

When looking for a plastic surgeon you want someone who makes you feel comfortable, does not take advantage of your money ( because most procedures are not cheap) and leaves you feeling good about your total experience. Dr Wendall and staff do just this! I really could not say enough good things about this facility or the people. I will be back for anything I may need in the future!

I'm 3 weeks out from a breast aug/lift. It was easier than I thought. I had an implant rupture and this was needed rather quickly, I emailed his office over the weekend as this happened on a Friday night (of course). Dr Wendel responded to me himself over the weekend answered my questions. And allayed my fears. Went for a consultation in 2 weeks only because his office was moving and had surgery the following week when I had time due to my work schedule. I had surgery Friday afternoon and was back to work on tues. granted I don't have a physical job but I was amazed at how little the discomfort was. Had some burning and pulling but wasn't bad. I would highly recommend dr Wendel and his staff. Everyone from Beth to his receptionist and nurses were great! Very friendly and helpful through it all... Now I'm looking into more procedures with them because I trust them 150%,

Artificial Spin Ice: Thermal Relaxation and Emergent Magnetic Monopoles in Arrays of Frustrated Nanomagnets
Fig. 1: Direct observation of thermal relaxation in artificial square ice [2]. While undergoing thermal relaxation from an energetically excited state (a), the system passes through two distinct regimes, namely a string regime (a)-(d), with isolated strings of reversed island moments increasing in length and number, followed by a domain regime (e)-(g). In the domain regime there are many ground state domains of opposite chirality, with some expanding while others shrink until the whole array is in a fully ordered single-domain ground state configuration (h).Artificial spin ice systems, consisting of dipolar coupled single-domain nanomagnets arranged in two-dimensional geometries, have drawn increasing interest from the research community as they provide a possibility to investigate the effects of geometrical frustration in real space and time using appropriate imaging techniques. With electron beam lithography, one can fine tune the structure of the system in terms of nanomagnet size, lattice geometry and lattice periodicity. The system behaviour in response to an external stimulus can then be investigated with different microscopy techniques.
Thus far, the main research focus was directed towards investigations of two geometries, namely artificial square ice and artificial kagome spin ice [1-7]. Artificial square ice was first introduced as a two-dimensional analogue to pyrochlore spin ice, where the role of the Ising spins is mimicked by the magnetic moments of elongated nanomagnets, whose shape anisotropy fixes their moment direction.
Fig. 2: Thermal relaxation of a single-ring artificial kagome spin ice structure [4]. Starting from two different high-energy states B1 and B2, the system will end up in one of two degenerate ground state configurations, A1 or A2, which depends on the pathway chosen within its energy landscape (blue arrows).Our initial research on artificial spin ice concentrated on field-driven experiments [6,7,8-10]. Employing x-ray photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) to resolve the exact arrangement of the nanomagnet moments, we investigated the possibility to achieve with demagnetization procedures the low-energy configurations in the building blocks of artificial kagome ice [6], and we observed the creation and propagate of emergent magnetic monopoles in extended arrays [7,9,10].
Most recently our main goal has been to fabricate artificial spin ice structures that exhibit fluctuating magnetic moments at experimentally accessible temperatures in order to access their true thermodynamics. This was achieved either by patterning Permalloy (Ni80Fe20) wedge films [2,4,5] or -doped Pd(Fe) films [3,11]. In artificial square ice, we were able to follow in real time a thermally-driven relaxation process from an initial high energy configuration of the magnetic moments to a ground state configuration [2] (see Fig. 1). In building blocks of artificial kagome ice, our simple thermal annealing procedure, that involves a moderate heating above the nanomagnet blocking temperatures (TB = 320-330 K), proved to be highly effective in achieving the low-energy configurations [4,5] (see Fig. 2 and Movie below). However, with increasing systems size, it becomes more and more difficult to access the predicted ground state configurations [5], a fact that makes artificial kagome spin ice an ideal system to explore optimized annealing procedures both experimentally and theoretically.

Day #2
Allright, here we go. Class the words for the day are: Pavement Ends.
Got up this morning at about O' dark:30, saw the girlfriend as she went to her new job, bite to eat, and of course had to check ADVrider. Still hadn't figured out where to go. Wound up a person was asking questions about gravel roads in the area over in the Regional sections.
Gravel? What's that you say? Why yes, I happen to have acquired the knowledge of which you seek. But since I couldn't tell him any mileages I thought of no better excuse than to go ride the roads again. And so I did.
Coming down 19E out of Bluff City and after about 5 miles catch a left onto Holston Mountain Road. Stay on this road, eventually it'll turn into gravel, and gravel shall it remain for the next 28 miles. Except for a 2 mile stretch. Very odd, indeed.
So I'm jamming down the gravel road at ~30 mph on a 500 lbs. wannabe dirtbike with luggage, powersliding through the turns (riding dirtbikes for 19 years and having a dad that is an ex-harescramble/enduro racer helps), all the while skirting around the northern edge of the Iron Mountains. There was too much foliage to take a good picture but when the leaves are gone it rivals parts of the BRP. All of a sudden......
WTF? Who lays down 2 miles of perfectly good blacktop 8 miles from the previous thing that could remotely be called pavement?
This is Big Creek Road and the Forestry Service is widening the road. I'd seen the road construction signs but let's face it, road construction out here meant Jim Bob and a chainsaw, or so I thought. Riding around a corner I see a backhoe heading the same way I am with a driver and passenger hanging off the side. I follow them for about a mile until the driver sees me in his mirror and turns around with a shocked expression on his face.
Clearly he's never seen a motorcycle, least that's what his facial expression said. Though he could pop a mean wheelie with that backhoe.
I pass and proceed to do my best to put about a mile between us just in case I want to stop and take pictures. Looking down the trail I see this:
Seeing as how there was a however-many ton backhoe headed his way I did the neighborly thing:
And continued upon my way...
Big Creek Road intersects with Flatwoods Road in a huge 4-way intersection. Every way takes you back to a highway of some kind. I turned right onto this and except for the odd pothole, my speed increased dramatically.
A few miles up the road and there's a triangle with a sign announcing the way to Little Creek Recreation area. Camping, RV dumpsites, the works are available here. The view was nice...
(Note: Those go from right to left. Don't have a stitch program on my Mac.)
Yet the day was but young.
Tearing down Flatwoods Road all of a sudden I catch the smell of water, as in river water. Sure enough I find this within about 20 yards.
Looking back the way I'd come.
Few more miles down the road and Oh look, another one.
Just about to the end of the road and find another turtle! He was pissed though.
Something about jumping his cousin last time I rode dirtbikes. Hey, least I managed to dodge him. He wasn't having any of it though and I placed him in the grass off the road.
Get back to the intersection of Camp Tom Howard Road (Flatwoods changed into this when it turned to pavement again) and 421, trying to decide where to go, and realize I've never been down Denton Valley Road before. Needless to say that was the direction I went. After about a mile or two the road splits and upon hanging a left I find the remains of an old road bed. Really strange, ran straight into the water, and was built using stackstone turned on end. Looked like a giant tower had fallen but everything remained in place. Oh yeah, and it was pretty.
Head back to Denton Valley Road, turn north, riding along at a nice OH YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME...
Aside: I've been riding up here for about 5 years now and have never seen a turtle in the road. Come to think of it I've got a degree in Biology and when my Ecology class went on hikes I never saw a turtle either. What are the odds of three turtles in an hour? But I digress...
Needless to say, he too was placed safely on the edge of the road.
Wound up at the sign in the first picture but not having researched it I decided to hold off for now. Plus I was hungry and the Shady Valley Country Store with their Shady Dogs was only a few miles of incredibly twisty tarmac away.
Warp Factor 6, Mr. Sulu.
Replenished with the aforementioned hot dogs I headed over into Mountain City. Turned onto 167 and rode it for about 10 or so miles. The valley I was in was incredible as it was full of corn fields and was probably about 1000 yards wide at the widest. Hit Lakeview Drive off 167, then Dry Hill Road, Buntontown Road, then finally 321. This took me around Watauga Lake and the road was empty, essentially tar and chip.
From 321 I went back to Little Stoney Creek in the first post and ran it all the way across to Walnut Ridge Road near Roan Mountain, 23 miles total. Over on the Roan Mountain side you began to see more and more landscape that was common to the area, namely...
I swear there are more Christmas tree farms in this area than anywhere in the world. You could throw an ornament from one farm to another and it'd never land in anything but pine.
Got to 19E, turned left to run up to the North Carolina border just to make sure they hadn't moved it on me (you never know about these things) then turned back and hooked a left on 143 towards Carver's Gap. This is where I took the group at the Eastern Rendezvous and while it was still May there weren't any leaves on the trees at that high of an elevation. There were plenty today.
(Panorama L to R)
Carver's Gap is at 5512' a.s.l. and the Appalachian Trail runs on top of it. I hiked to the top once. It sucked. Damn thin air. I can run an 8 minute mile at will but no, a mile and change of elevation wants me to do it with half the oxygen. Anyway, have some landscape pictures from last time.
Yeah, those tiny things in the parking lot are cars about 600 vertical feet below me. Find the red car, follow the guardrail to the right, and that black thing before you get to the next car is my bike.
This time I rode up the other side to the Rhododendron Gardens. Each fall this puppies bloom each fall and people go nuts over them. Wikipedia says the honey makes you hallucinate. That and the thin air probably makes people really, really happy.
It was about that time and the weather kept reminding me of it. I'd dodged it all day but now it was about to rain and I didn't feel like swimming home.
Beat the rain home, uploaded the pictures, ate dinner, and now you have Day #2's report.
Miles ridden: ~200
Shady dogs eaten: 2
Turtles rescued: 3

Kalama, Washington (PRWEB) September 03, 2014
Port of Kalama officials announced they have passed two additional milestones in their efforts to clear a pathway for construction of a two-phase $1.8 billion plant to manufacture methanol at a port industrial park.
Approximately 1,000 workers would be employed during several years of construction. Once operational, each phase will employ about 120 people. NW Innovation Works is proposing to build the plant which would manufacture methanol from natural gas.
The first milestone is an agreement with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway to sell approximately two acres of land to the port which is needed to provide dedicated access to the site.
"BNSF acted expeditiously on our offer to acquire the property because they recognize how important this jobs-creating project is to our community," said Alan Basso, Port Commission President. "We are very grateful for their cooperation."
Meanwhile, the second milestone cleared is retaining a consultant team to provide expert advice and technical assistance related to the proposed project.
Three firms have been retained:
"These two milestones, together with the agreement between NW Innovation and Northwest Pipeline, are key actions that advance the project," said Mark Wilson, Executive Director. "This project promises a lot of good local jobs and economic benefits and we're moving forward with purpose."
Additional information about the NW Innovation Works proposal can be found at: http://www.nwinnovationworks.com.

Laura's Bio
We are moving to France and Laura, our incredible nanny, who's cared for all three of our children (ages 3, 4, 8) for the past six years will be available for the right family in San Francisco. As her employer for the past six years, I unreservedly recommend her, and will be so sad to not have her with us. We invited her to come to France with us but San Francisco is her home and she loves it and decided to stay. About Laura:
36 years old
from Mexico
Green Card holder
Driver's License, Clean Record
Own Car with carseats
She's taught fluent Spanish to all three of our kids. Her English is not totally fluent, but it is more than sufficient to communicate with us.
Laura is very responsible, always on time, has never called in sick once in 6 years. She's easy to reach, very communicative, and I trust her completely.
My children adore her, at bedtime they tell me they miss her! She's excellent with infants and toddlers, as well as my big kid. She's been with us since our oldest was 2, and has made the transition of having babies and getting back to work as good as it could have been for me with my younger two children.
We work from home and have had ample opportunity to observe Laura with the kids. She keeps our (fairly rambunctious) children totally engaged in one activity/toy/game at a time, quiet, tidy, interested, happy. It's a very child centric environment where they choose what to play with and she gets into their world and enlivens it. She puts together elaborate car and train tracks, lincoln logs and legos with our sons (and daughter), as well as elaborate hairstyles for our baby girl and costumes for all three kids. She takes pride in them and their accomplishments and loves them like her own. She drives them to many activities throughout the city: Museum of Science, SF Zoo, different parks in the city, picnics, and she signs them up for soccer and other sports, including swimming, language and art classes.
Her schedule is usually to play at home for about an hour in the morning, then get a lot of morning running around done at the park, then picnic or home for lunch, then afternoon naps. All of our children take 2-3 hour naps until age 5 or so. This helps enormously with their general attitude, alertness, growth, and Laura deserves most of the credit!
She's helped potty train our children before 3 years old. She makes healthy food for the kids, does their laundry (and ours at times) and tidies up around the house. She's clean, discrete, healthy, and there's absolutely no hassle whatsoever. Laura was a professional nanny for 5 or 6 years before working with us, and she has several additional glowing references from local families.
Age Specific Experience
10 years of paid child care experience with:
- First year
- Toddlers (1 to 3 years)
- Preschooler (3 to 5 years)
- Grade School (6 to 11 years)
Skills & Abilities
Languages Spoken:
- Spanish
Additional Services:
- Potty Training
- Meal Preparation
- Laundry
- Light Housekeeping

The project involves eight universities, two NGOs and one SME. Funded by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union under the Action PEOPLE-Marie Curie Initial Training Networks, it has a budget over 3.5 million euros and a duration of 4 years.
Presentation of the documentary "Toxic Amazon" in Barcelona
One of the ENTITLE specialised courses will be organised by the UAB and will take place from 3 to 6 June in Barcelona. The course "Research Designs and Methods in Political Ecology" is the second one to be taught within the project and includes two activities that are open to the public. One of these is the presentation, on 5 June, at 19.30h at the Palau Als (Sant Pere ms Baix, 55, Barcelona), of the documentary "Toxic Amazon" by Felipe Milanez, with a welcome speech by Joan Martinez Alier, Professor of Economics and Economic History at the UAB. Felipe is a PhD fellow on the project and a journalist specialising in the Amazon, formerly a "National Geographic" editor. The second event is a lecture entitled "Critical physical geography: an application on river restoration" by Dr Rebecca Lave, from Indiana University, which will take place at the ICTA premises (Sala de Graus, Faculty of Science UAB) also on 5 June, at 14.30h.
From 6 to 14 July the first of the network's summer schools will be held in Syros, Greece, under the title "Commons, Conflicts and Disasters", and will include a public talk by Professor Joan Martinez-Alier and Professor Stefania Barca from Coimbra University, Portugal, on "Ecology in Times of Crisis". Training courses and summer schools are open only to the members of the network but all material will be publicly available on the web after the events.
The project is now fully operational and ENTITLE can be consulted on the website of the project: http

Chapter Thirteen
I am a little shocked Bayli left Cameron and I in the same room, I could have sworn she could sense this weird thing between us; or maybe its just in my head. Maybe, I am crazy and I want to ruin Bayli's life, and I don't even realize it yet. Maybe, just maybe, one of us will turn out to be evil, but it will be me, not her. Not my twin like I always thought it would be. She needs to know everything, but I don't think anyone wants her to know the truth, maybe that is what causes her to be evil, and she really will turn out to be the villain, and not me, and I could save the day and Cameron could fall in love with me. Realize we are meant to be together.
April wont stop looking over at me and I wonder if it is maybe because she could tell when I met her that I felt drawn towards her, and now she knows I no longer feel that, I feel anger towards her. I need to break this awkward silence.
"So, umm," I dot know where to start, maybe I should just be blunt and explain to her that she can't tell Bayli anything. "You cannot tell her anything, not that you guys are twins, although she is probably questioning that at the moment; but you can't tell her anything. Don't tell her the rest of the prophecy, don't tell her-"
"Don't tell me what?" Shit!
"Ummm," I suck at lying sometimes. "That I might become part of the Council."
"Great, that will go great with my plan. Cameron, April, I would like you to meet Jacob, the guy that has been stalking me for the past, what Month?" He slowly walks in, his hood is up, like always. "Take your hood off," she says.
He reaches up, slowly, the way he moves, his height, his name, something clicks in my head and for some reason I am charging after him. "You little piece of shit, I am going to kill you." Only he and I know why I am acting like this. Then I am on the ground and so is Jacob, only we aren't fighting we both cannot move. What just happened?
Once Cameron showed up, I almost forgot about stalker boy until he met me outside after checking out.
"Bayli," he knows my name, why am I so shocked about this? I slowly turn to face him, I didn't acknowledge him when i first saw him, because I wasnt sure he wanted to be seen, but I guess he did.
"Yeah, sorry, change of plans. I am going back to Oregon."
"I figured as much when I saw your car and Cameron's car disappear."
"Okay, well I have to get back inside, I left them alone and I don't know what is happening."
"Ah, yes, Cameron and April."
"Wait, you know about April already?" I look at him he is still wearing all black and his hood is up, but based on his voice, I can tell he is about my age.
"I know more than you think I do, but I need to speak with all three of you about something, troubling." I am stunned, I don't know what to do. He takes his hood off and hold out his hand. "I am Jacob." He is beautiful, there is no other way to describe him, well maybe gorgeous. He has perfect skin that is almost an olive color, but is too pale to be olive. He looks a little like Cameron with his angular jaw-line, and he has short-cropped blonde hair. I can tell he is buff through his baggy clothes by the stealthy way he moves. I take his hand, he has a firm gripped handshake, and he looks me in the eye with bright green eyes. There is a glint of humor.
"Follow me," I say, turn and walk. I am a robot for some reason. I feel drawn to him, what the hell is wrong with the world?! There is Cameron and I, then he and April, now me and Jacob. This is some weird effed up love square. I get to the door of my motel room; room 224.
"Wait here a second." I open the door
"don't tell her-"
"Don't tell me what?" I interrupt Cameron. I can tell he is searching for another lie, what is with all the lying?
"Umm," he pauses, "That I might be part of the Council."
"Great, that will go great with my plan. Cameron, April, I would like you to meet Jacob, the guy that has been stalking me for the past, what Month?" He slowly walks in, his hood is up, like always. "Take your hood off," I roll my eyes at him, tired of all these games everyone seems to be playing and all these secrets. Next thing I know Cameron is yelling at Jacob before his hood is off and charging at him. What the hell!? I don't want Cameron to hurt Jacob, and I need him to tell us what he was going to tell us. New ability alert: I think I yelled stop, and now both boys are on the floor and cannot move. April looks at me with a frightened look.
I wake up, my head is killing me, why am I sitting up? Then, the night flashes through my eyes, oh yeah, I was hit over the head and kidnaped.
"We have to do something more to lure her here, I don't think Either of them realize she is a super too. And if they find out like this it could cause what we are trying to prevent." The man who was talking stopped as if he was listening to someone else, but there were no other voices, no words were being spoken. "I understand that, sir," he began to speak again, he must be on the phone. "I am just suggesting we take a different approach, that is all. Wait, sir, I can feel her energy stirring, she has woken up, I must go... Yes I will call you as soon as I get more information." And with that, a beep and a click, he was done talking and walking towards me. I tried to speak, to say something, but nothing was coming out of my mouth, I realized I was no longer able to control any part of my body.
