Most Domestic Oil and Gas Companies Fail to Cut EmissionsWritten by Jessie
According to a recently released report by the World Wildlife Fund, 58 of the United States' Fortune 100 companies set goals in 2012 to either reduce greenhouse gas emissions or use more renewable energy in their operations. However, oil and gas companies are lagging far behind in this movement. Eight of 11 domestic energy companies on the Fortune 100 have not set internal energy goals.
This is in direct contrast to 68 of the planet's 100 largest companies who recognize the impact of global warming and are making investments in greenhouse gas reductions and renewable energy goals. Sadly, energy companies represent the lowest participation rate of any industry worldwide. The few exceptions are Hess and Chevron who have both set renewable energy and greenhouse gas targets, and ExxonMobil who set a greenhouse gas target.
Why have three quarters of the nation's industrial companies voluntarily set some sort of environmental target? There are a variety of potential reasons including: policy pressures, public relations or perhaps even the forward thinking that sees renewable energy's potential to someday be less expensive than, or at least competitive with, oil and gas.
And why haven't most oil and gas companies voluntarily set environmental targets? It may be because the very products they put on the market directly contribute to climate change. There is also a lack of urgency to act; little pressure comes from investors or policies. An example of a type of policy that was successful in the past is the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA's Toxic Release Inventory, which worked by making large companies publically accountable for which potentially toxic chemicals they use and where they are released. Then the information is posted on the EPA's website for anyone to see.
The planet would really benefit from a similar policy focusing on oil and gas company emissions, or better yet, a broader climate change policy such as a national carbon tax or cap-and-trade program. There are other options that could pave the way towards a cleaner energy future. The federal government could require that a certain percentage of electricity come from renewable sources and offer further tax incentives for wind and solar production. Many companies are setting their own internal goals, but for others such as the majority of the oil and gas industry, they're not going to do anything about increasing efficiency and reducing their carbon footprints until someone makes them.
2012 Retrospective – Were this Year's Events Enough to Spur Lasting Climate Change Efforts?Written by Jessie
This year offered several events that shone a spotlight directly on the important and urgent issue of climate change, but the question remains, "Was it enough to bring about meaningful efforts to reduce climate change?"
June of 2012 presented the United Nations Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which disappointed many as international representatives hemmed and hawed instead of establishing true endeavors to tackle global warming. Meanwhile the continental United States embarked on summer heat waves that were some of the hottest in its history.
This year also saw drought cover more than half the country; farmers suffered as their crops and animals died.
Then October of 2012 brought superstorm Sandy, this year's biggest example of extreme weather and a deadly harbinger of the devastating effects of climate change. Can we continue to sit idly by in the face of all these signs that global warming is making broad changes to our planet? Should we leave these environmental problems for our children to face as we continue down an unsustainable path?
The close of the year is a time to reflect on the previous events of the year and make resolutions for the coming year. Let's pledge to make 2013 the year where we confront climate change in every possible way. We can all embark on energy efficiency efforts; reducing what we can and lowering our carbon footprints. Every bit helps. Then it is a powerful combination to offset the rest of our carbon emissions. It would be a genuine shame to let the lessons of this past year slip from our consciousness while there is still time and so much that can and should be done to address climate change.
What is on the Planet's Climate Wishlist?Written by Jessie
The Earth cannot use words to speak for itself, but if it could what would be on its climate wishlist this holiday season?
Environmental activists and climate scientists have done a good job of communicating the risks of climate change. Part of the issue is that it's a delicate balance between scaring people so thoroughly that they don't think there is anything they can do about global warming and encouraging people to make any changes that positively impact the environment, even small ones to start. Perhaps we've also underestimated the importance of personal experience.
The facts on climate change alone are not enough. We've had solid, scientific evidence for many years that global warming is man-made and happening right now. However, many people need to experience the effects for themselves in order for the light bulb to go off in their heads. Hurricane Sandy and other extreme weather events are helping people to connect the dots, but now that process has begun the question then becomes, "What next?"
We have a responsibility to be good stewards of the planet. That is what the climate needs and wants this holiday season. There are two main changes that we can undertake to fulfill the planet's climate wishlist. The first is to lower our carbon footprints. Ask yourself, do I really need to leave my lights on all day at home when I am not there? Can I combine trips in the car to drive less or take public transportation instead? What simple steps can I take to save energy and myself some money as well?
The second change is to offset the rest of your carbon footprint. There are many affordable options to make this holiday season a reality, not just for the planet, but for future generations also. Any positive steps you take are welcome and really do make a difference. Although the planet cannot use words to thank you, reducing what you can and offsetting the rest is a beautiful gift and a wonderful place to start this holiday season.
Tradition, Precision, Innovation in a CarbonFree® Environment Guide Neugart's SuccessWritten by Linda
For the past 85 years of operation, and the past five years as a CarbonFree® Business Partner, Neugart USA LP has upheld its commitment to tradition, precision, innovation and sustainability in order to deliver high quality planetary servo-gear-heads to its manufacturing and packaging customer base.
From its beginning, manufacturing gears for the watch and clock industry, through the development of small gears and customized planetary gears for step motors in the 60s and 70s, to today's high precision servo-gears for high-tech automated manufacturing operations, Neugart has remained committed to operating in an environment that is as environmentally sustainable as possible.
"In line with our goal to become "carbon neutral," we commit to minimize the carbon footprint of our processes, and offset where elimination is not feasible yet," explains Gerhard Anthony of Neugart.
Neugart's CarbonFree® Business status is unusual for the gear manufacturing business, and this differentiator remains an important element in Neugart's strategy to best serve its customers. 2013 will mark Neugart's sixth year in partnership with Carbonfund.org, supporting reforestation and biodiversity preservation projects around the world.
Clear Estimates Celebrates 30 Years in Business and Five Years CarbonFree®Written by Linda
As part of the US economic recovery, residential housing market values and housing starts are watched closely as a key indicator to economic growth and stability. Last week, Freddie Mac released its U.S. Economic and Housing Market Outlook for December, showing projections for modest but steady gains in both home value and housing starts in 2013.
These projections are good news for US home owners and for the thousands of businesses that depend upon new home construction, renovations, and an active home buyer/seller market. CarbonFree® Business Partner Clear Estimates is one of these businesses; one that has maintained a five-year commitment to operating in a carbon emissions-neutral environment.
Clear Estimates, a father-son owned and operated business with three decades of experience, offers a cloud-based construction estimating software that enables contractors and home renovators to manage efficient and cost-effective home building and improvements projects. Clear Estimates allows contractors to accurately anticipate the labor, materials, and their related costs that will be required for all aspects of a construction project and automatically drafts professional proposals ready for client presentation.
The Clear Estimates website serves as the business storefront, and their products are only distributed digitally. For the past three years Clear Estimates has implemented a "paperless" operational philosophy, limiting its carbon emissions footprint to the electrical energy required to run the computers and servers used for developing the product and supporting customers. To address the impact of their energy consumption emissions, Clear Estimates partnered with Carbonfund.org five years ago to neutralize their remaining operational emissions by supporting renewable energy projects each year.
"We chose Carbonfund.org because of its solid reputation," confirms Nolan Orfield. "As the leading nonprofit carbon offsetting organization it is clear they are a reliable resource for any business or individual hoping to protect our most important asset, the environment."
ZeroCarbon™ Gown Preservations with Carbonfund.org Reaches Fifth AnniversaryWritten by Linda
Five years ago, the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists approached the Carbonfund.org Foundation to create a unique program to neutralize the emissions from the wedding gown cleaning and preservation services offered by its members. ZeroCarbon™ gown preservations became the first carbon-neutral wedding gown cleaning and preservation program in the wedding services industry, and it ensures that the beauty of each wedding gown is preserved while safeguarding the environment. ZeroCarbon™ wedding gown preservations are endorsed by the Association of Bridal Consultants and Green Bride Guide.
Carbonfund.org helped to calculate the carbon footprint of the gown cleaning and preservation process and created a per-gown treatment emissions level to be neutralized. Each Certified Wedding Gown Specialist™ makes a separate per-gown preservation donation to Carbonfund.org, which helps to support reforestation projects that reduce carbon emissions worldwide. To date, the ZeroCarbon™ wedding gown preservation program has mitigated over one million pounds of carbon emissions, the equivalent of the total emissions absorbed by 11,000 tree seedlings grown for ten years.
The Association of Wedding Gown Specialists created a flyer about the ZeroCarbon™ preservation program printed on recycled paper in soy ink for their members to use, and they've added the ZeroCarbon™ text to the complimentary care labels supplied to wedding gown designers.
"My own experience with the ZeroCarbon™ labels has been very positive," explains Sally Conant, Executive Director. "At my personal company, which is also a member of the Association, brides inspect their gowns before they are packed in acid-free wedding chests. When the gown is packed I explain that the ZeroCarbon™ label means we have offset all of the carbon emissions with a donation to Carbonfund.org to support reforestation projects."
"About a quarter of the brides say they chose my company because we do green gown preservations, and the rest are pleasantly surprised to hear about the program when they come for the gown. One bride recently told me it was very reassuring to know that she could care for her gown without damaging the environment. If it is a relative of the bride who comes to collect the gown, about a third of them say something such as 'She will be so pleased. She cares about our environment.'"
Moxie Bookkeeping Proves Small Businesses Can Commit to SustainabilityWritten by Linda
The CarbonFree® Business Partnership program was launched in 2007 with the goal of helping businesses of all sizes – start-ups through global Fortune 1000s – to make a commitment to environmentally-sustainable operations and to keep that commitment for the long haul.
Six years later, we're honoring over 100 small businesses that have been consistent CarbonFree® Business Partners for the past five and six years. One of these businesses is Moxie Bookkeeping of Brooklyn, New York, started in 2004 by Ean Murphy, with the purpose to serve small operations and to make bookkeeping a valuable tool for making smart decisions instead of one more hassle at the end of a long week.
While Moxie Bookkeeping does not sell 'green' products, they've made the conscious decision to provide services in the most environmentally-responsible way possible. This included joining our CarbonFree® Business Partnership program in 2008. Moxie Bookkeeping makes an annual donation to Carbonfund.org in order to support our carbon reduction and clean energy innovation projects around the world. In addition, Moxie Bookkeeping focuses their service on electronic delivery wherever possible, to avoid printed statements and checks. Their office products are purchased through green product providers and recycling is mandatory in their offices.
"I can't run my business without using electricity and natural resources," says Ean Murphy. "I want to make sure I am an active part of the solution." Through her long-term partnership with Carbonfund.org, Ean is able to provide her holistic bookkeeping services in a CarbonFree® work environment.
Coal Industry Mega-Player Plans for Climate ChangeWritten by Jessie
In a telling and ironic move, coal industry giant BHP-Billiton, is replacing one of its coal export facilities in Queensland, Australia because of its vulnerability to increasingly frequent hurricanes from global warming. BHP-Billiton is an Australian coal company that produces one-fifth of globally traded coal for steel making and is the largest mining company on Earth. The upgrade represents a major investment in planning for climate change. In fact, the company's coal operations are led by Marcus Randolph, who confirmed they are planning, "to rebuild the facility to be more durable to climate change."
Readers of this blog already know that increasingly extreme weather events are the result of climate change in addition to the fact that many businesses are planning now for climate change's effects. Why not a coal company too? The announcement makes it obvious that BHP-Billiton understands that climate change is real and the time is now to begin making changes even if the manufacture of their product contributes to the issue.
Randolph has even warned investors about the implications of remaining dependent on the non-renewable resources of fossil fuels by saying, "In a carbon constrained world where energy coal is the biggest contributor to a carbon problem, how do you think this is going to evolve over a 30- to 40-year time horizon? You'd have to look at that and say on balance, I suspect, the usage of thermal coal is going to decline. And frankly it should."
When a company that mines and exports coal starts planning for climate change it means the writing is on the wall. Businesses and individuals alike should all be working to decrease carbon footprints and offset the remaining carbon emissions. Let's give the planet a holiday present and start doing all we can this season to embrace a cleaner energy future.

Business plan competitions, business plan writing clinics, business planning software, business...
Effective business planning is critical to an entrepreneurial company's long-term success and its ability to raise capital and grow successfully. A properly prepared Business Plan should tell a story, make an argument and conservatively predict the future. All companies have different stories to tell, different arguments to make and different futures to predict, so they must resist the temptation to copy from others or to follow a rigid outline.
A business plan for entrepreneurs should engage the heart as well as the head, writes the author, who advises two plans-the formal document for bankers and investors, and then, the business plan that comes from your heart.
The business strategy should be refined on a regular basis, at least annually, to incorporate changes that keep your business on its growth track.

Even as Washington wines are gaining national recognition, my frequent-flyer friends in the business assure me, the industry continues its growing pains.
The decades-long exploration of new (to this state) varietals has been turbocharged by the dozens and dozens of mini-wineries making their debuts, all seeking to carve out a niche.
They want to offer consumers something other than the usual red wines, so they turn to barbera, primitivo, sangiovese, tempranillo and zinfandel in search of distinction.
By and large, distinction eludes them. Rare among them is the bottle that displays any semblance of varietal character.
Worse yet, so many of these $25-to-$30 bottles are popping up that they don't even separate themselves from the rest of the pack.
This is a many-faceted problem.
Inexperienced winemakers are a big part of it.
They often try to make a statement with a new (to them) grape, a lot of new (expensive) oak barrels and a fancy package. It all costs money, hence the high prices for so-so wines.
Not many vineyards are growing these unusual grapes, and they are almost all recent plantings.
So these boutique wineries are sourcing grapes from the same places, and with rare exceptions they are not in a position to manage their rows (if they even have designated rows) aggressively.
So they are getting young, perhaps overcropped fruit to begin with -- and you can't make great wine from so-so grapes.
Will Washington ever produce versions of the grapes named above that can stand with this state's best reds? I certainly wouldn't rule it out. But it's going to be a long, hard slog.
Meanwhile, a relatively new grape that could be a bona fide superstar is languishing on retail shelves.
Washington syrahs have been disproportionately represented on my annual Seattle Times Top 100 lists for the past few years.
As I go through each year's worth of tasting notes, it surprises me to see how many syrahs stand out.
A decade ago fewer than 20 Washington wineries were making syrah.
Today I would guesstimate that roughly half of our 660-plus wineries are making syrah, and most produce multiple bottlings.
And yet with few exceptions -- Cayuse, K Vintners, Betz and one or two others -- syrah has become a really tough sell.
There are many theories as to why: a lack of good examples priced less than $15; uncertainty as to what Washington syrah is supposed to taste like; and the easy availability of tasty, inexpensive, syrah-based wines from southern France.
I do not see a clear future for syrah in Washington, but I am quite certain that the grape thrives here.
It is exceptionally expressive of place. Yakima Valley syrah, Wahluke/Royal Slope syrah, Walla Walla Valley syrah, Red Mountain syrah, Horse Heaven Hills syrah -- even Lake Chelan syrah -- are all different and distinctive. More than any other grape in Washington, syrah lends itself to multiple, single-vineyard offerings for exactly this reason.
The grape has a chameleon-like ability to reflect specific growing conditions without becoming too green or too jammy.
Syrah does not need to be soaked in oak to perform well. Some sites produce citrus flavors, a streak of lemon/lime zest that adds lift and life.
From other sites, smoky, meaty, tannic and peppery flavors emerge.
Here's a chance to taste a wide variety of syrahs and other Rh?ne varietals.
The Rh?ne Rangers and FareStart are sponsoring "Guest Chef on the Waterfront'' at Pier 66 on July 14.
Tickets are $75. More information at www.rhonerangers.org/calendar/seattletrade.php.

Grandson Aarav performed the last rites of Rajesh Khanna at the Vile Parle crematorium Thursday with family, friends and fans bidding the superstar a tearful adieu.
The actor's nine-year-old grandson put the pyre to torch with the help of his actor-father Akshay Kumar, who is married to Rajesh Khanna's elder daughter Twinkle, and soon flamed engulfed the body of the superstar, who became heartthrob of millions since attaining stardom in 1969.
The actor, fondly called Kaka by his family and friends, passed away Wednesday morning following a liver infection. He was 69.
An eyewitness informed IANS that Amitabh Bachchan hugged and consoled an emotional Dimple Kapadia and her second daughter Rinke at the funeral.
Kaka's ex-girlfriend Anju Mahendru was also present and was seen crying.
Daughter Twinkle was missing from the funeral procession as she is in the family way.
Rajesh Khanna's last journey generated the same frenzy that he did when he attained stardom in the 1970s.
Keeping the security issues in consideration, the police officials suggested the late superstar's family members not to allow too many people inside the crematorium as a result not even media were allowed in.
The legend's final journey started around 10 a.m. from his residence Aashirwad in Bandra. His body, in a glass casket, was placed on a mini-truck decorated with white flowers. The procession went through Carter Road, Turner Road and S.V. Road before reaching the Vile Parle crematorium.
The original plan was to have a longer procession, but due to rain it was cut short.
Despite rain, thousands, including the superstar's friends, film fraternity members and fans gathered to say a tearful goodbye to Rajesh Khanna.
The frenzy was perhaps just what the Bollywood's first superstar had been missing in his last years.
It was a farewell that the superstar deserved.
Among the Bollywood bigwigs who attended his last rites were Sudhir Mishra, Rani Mukerji, Karan Johar, Sajid Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Vinod Khanna and Aadesh Shrivastava.
Rajesh started his career with the 1966 film "Akhari Khat" and went on to give hit films like "Aradhana", "Kati Patang", "Anand" and "Amar Prem" that propelled him to dazzling heights of popularity and fame.
His last words before his demise, according to megastar Amitabh Bachchan, were "Time to pack up" in true Bollywood style.

Popular and Historic 1836 Gobrecht Dollar1836 P$1 Name Below Base, Judd-58 Restrike, Pollock-61, R.6(?), PR63 NGC. Silver. Plain Edge. Die Alignment III: Center of Liberty's head opposite N in ONE. Numismatist extraordinaire John Dannreuther wrote in his article "Gobrecht Reflections":
Name Below Base, Judd-58, PR63
Name Below Base, Judd-58, PR63
"Today, many of the things that occurred at the Mint during the middle of the nineteenth century would result in the convening of a grand jury. At the time, however, no one was prosecuted, but a few officials were dismissed. Some of the coins made in the Mint were legitimately traded for items needed for the Mint Collection (started in 1838), so there was a reason for their striking. There were some coins struck that were made for the profit of their makers and they were the ones that caused controversy. The story of the plain edge Restrike 1804 dollars has been told numerous times with Mint employees forced to retrieve several of the ones that had been sold for $50 each in 1858 or 1859. This did not stop the restriking or creation of rarities and the practice continued through at least 1878 and possibly until 1885. It still happened periodically after that, such as the clandestinely struck 1913 Liberty Head nickels and continues through to the present--the 1999 saga of the Philadelphia Mint employee who hid impressive errors in his work cart was chronicled in the numismatic weeklies and even reported through national news outlets."
The Name Below Base Gobrecht dollars are similar creations by the mid-19th century Mint. However, their clandestine nature, then as well as now, has not affected their value to collectors. At the MacKenzie Sale in 1868, a Name Below Base brought an astounding $92.50. Two years later at the Fewsmith Sale, Edward Cogan bought a Name Below Base for a "mere" $35, a drop of more than 60%. This would indicate a supply of the coins had become available between 1868 and 1870, and may indicate a striking period for these enormously popular coins.
This is a brightly reflective example. The mirrored fields are definitely consistent with the proofs produced by the Mint from 1858 onward, and are unlike the shallowly mirrored original Gobrecht dollars dated 1836. The surfaces are lightly hairlined, which explains the technical grade of the coin, and each side is interspersed with blue and rose patches of color. Curiously for a coin that grades PR63, there are no singularly mentionable contact marks. This piece represents an opportunity for the advanced and knowledgeable collector in 2009, just as it did in 1868, when the first example crossed the auction block. (PCGS# 11217)

With the rosters set to expand September 1 the Rangers are about to get some pretty solid reinforcements. Former All-Stars Neftali Feliz and Lance Berkman are going to be activated manager Ron Washington told reporters (star-telegram.com). The addition of Feliz is particularly intriguing to me. He was one of the better closers in baseball in 2010 and 2011 racking up 72 saves with a 2.73 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. He's been his old self during his minor-league rehab stint with 7 2/3 shutout innings nine strikeouts and a 0.91 WHIP. The Rangers already have a stellar bullpen with Joe Nathan serving as closer but adding a potentially dominant arm to the back-end could be pretty scary in October. They could shorten the game to five or six innings before unloading the likes of Nathan Feliz Joakim Soria Tanner Scheppers and the reinvented Neal Cotts. The Rangers have said they are unlikely to use Feliz on consecutive days for the time being -- he's coming off Tommy John surgery after all -- but...

How does it work with trademarked fabric? I made dh and our boys Dallas Cowboys fleece hats and I'm getting lots of people asking me to make more. I'd love to sell them but I dont think that I can use the fabric to sell. I got on etsy and there are lots of people selling NFL fleece hats. Can I get permission from the NFL or how does that work?
Question for those that sell

i dnt know te exact rules, but from my experience ( I make and sell gameday dresses.) I have the customer buy the trademarked item ex. shirt or fabric and then am only dong the "alteration". I am really not sure though how it works.... That is just what someone reccomended for me. Hope I helped a little.
I only charge for "my time". :)

If the logo is on the fabric you buy from JoAnn's or Hancock's or whereever, then they (the store) have bought the rights to sell it and you can make and sell anything with that fabric. However, if you create the logo from piecing together fabric (like you use silver fabric to make a helmet shape and navy fabric to make a star and letters saying "Dallas Cowboys" or whatever) then no one has paid the licensing fee so you can't sell it.
Does that make sence? If you're buying your fleece at JoAnn's or any other retail store (and major online stores) than you are free to make and sell!

Nissan Altima Ratings
Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
2008 Nissan Altima
Spiffy pick up
Pros: Pick up and handleing
Cons: Noisy road sounds.I enjoy this car. It's fun to drive, It has great pick up and handling. However that being said,it dosn't have quite the comfort and is noisey from the road and tires.
- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes
- How long have you owned this vehicle? 1 year
2010 Nissan Altima
Completely Satisfied
Pros: Looks & Comfort
Cons: Radio does not play MP3/MWA discsVery happy with all aspects of this car.
- Recommend this vehicle to a friend? Yes
- How long have you owned this vehicle? 1 year
2010 Nissan Altima - 2.5 Sedan
Pros: the interior
Cons: nothing
Advice: buy this cari just love this car becuase it rides so smooth and it bestuiful and it i so awesome haha
2006 Nissan Altima - 2.5 (50 State - ) (M5)
Pros: Power
Cons: City Mileage
Advice: Buy - Consumer Reports rates the Altima #1.I have a 2005 3.5 SE. The car is scarey fast, looks fantastic, only maintenance issue was a loose window mechanism on the drivers door, and gets fantastic mileage. Average 32 mpg on the highway at 70 mph. Best car I've had and I've owned 30+.
2009 Nissan Altima - 2.5 S (CVT) Sedan w/CVT
Pros: CVT, Mileage 27 city/45 hwy (I also amazed to see that when I reached FL in half tank)
Cons: Road and AC noise, which won't make your ride too quite.
Advice: Get it with full 2.5 SL adn other add-ons, you won't need to have any costly luxury cars.Wow! It was really a smooth drive and had never feel gear change due to its CVT. Even at speed between 40-45 RPMs are below 1500. Nice comfortable drive with whole family. Love it.
2008 Nissan Altima - 2.5 S (50 State) (M6) Sedan
Pros: Nissan Intelligent Key
Cons: NOTHING!!!!
Advice: If you've not considered this car yetThe test drive was incredible. I had so much fun playing with the manual mode that comes with the CVT transmission!! I thought how the steering wheel got 'harder' to turn the faster you go, is a great safety feature, because I sometimes find myself bouncing around the lane at fast speeds. The I-Key is fantastic, I wake up, put it in my pocket, and take it out when I get home at night. The car is fast, and gets great gas mileage. I live in central Pennsylvania where there's mountains, and not really JUST city or highway driving, and I average over 34 mpg. If you have a family, this is also a very safe vehicle. But, I like it for its look, speed, and handling :)
2005 Nissan Altima - 2.5 S (50 State) (M5)
Pros: Smooth Ride
Cons: Body seems more malleable than should be
Advice: Please test drive few Nissans and consider space, style & experience!Just purchased my 2005 Altima 2.5SL...its HOT. Love the leather, the Bose system, the sunroof...the performance tires are so worth it! Going from 2002 Saturn SL1 to an Altima...is a ridiculous change up! It's BLISS! Drives well, great shocks/suspension, sounds great, & wow, do I get LOOKED AT while driving around !! Loving my new ride thusfar!!

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 10/28/12
PHILADELPHIA - The Atlanta Falcons remained the NFL's only undefeated team as they rolled to a 30-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles had changed defensive coordinators during their bye week, but the switch from Juan Castillo to Todd Bowles didn't seem to help as the Falcons (7-0) scored touchdowns on their first three possessions and kicked field goals on their next three, and that was too much for the Eagles (3-4). Atlanta took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in 16 plays. The Falcons scored on a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matt Ryan to wide receiver Drew Davis, who was wide open in the end zone to give the Falcons a 7-0 lead. After the Eagles' offense went three-plays-and-out - losing 4 yards along the way - the Falcons offense was on the move again. Atlanta took over on its own 49 and drove to the Eagles' 3, where Ryan flipped a screen pass to running back Jason Snelling, who bulled his way into the end...

This game is fucking incredible and it basically cost nothing, one day only.
I picked this up on sale last year just for the hell of it and it turned out to be one of my favorite games ever. There's still nothing else quite like it, a mordern Fallout-style RPG set in the modern day against a back drop of vampires trying to blend into and survive in a society that hates and reviles them while fighting off the unspeakable terrors of the night.
The story is fucking great, the characters are fucking great, all your abilities are fun to use and each of the Vampire subtypes has a rally distinct play style too them. The best ones change the rules of the game completely, giving you the ability to speak to inanimate objects or having your character be so hideous that even a normal person seeing you breaks the vampire Masquerade code.
It's got hell of modes too, people are still developing new content for this thing. Some are just minor tweaks and fixes like adding in the cut Histories from the character creator that let you give your Vampire a distinct flavor with additional advantages and disadvantages while others add in whole new clans of Vampire to play as and original quest lines.
These mother fuckers went out and did VO for their mod, that is fucking dedication.
The only real problem is that, towards the end, it does give into repetition a bit. Some of the earlier segments feel straight out of a Hitman game in terms of complexity and possible routes, there is almost always multiple, and often clever, solutions to a problem. It does give way near the end though where the game drops off and becomes incredibly combat heavy with repetitive fights taking up the last few hours, it's really a god damn shame. This game is famous for being a prime example of what cuts can do to a game in development, Troika still managed to create an incredible product but if they'd been given the time and funds they needed it could have been fucking legendary.
I really wish more RPG developers would take a note from this game (BETHESDA), because it really does do an fucking incredible job of making you feel like you have an identity and agency in the world. You actually feel like a character, not some faceless, power hungry demi-god.
It also helps that the writing and voice acting is fucking incredible.
Now I want to go install it again, why are you not playing this.
This game is fucking incredible and it basically cost nothing, one day only.

I am very new to R, just playing with it. I wrote some code to calculate the number of possible Heron triangles with two sides given. As many of us know, a Heron triangle has all its sides as integers as well as the area. In the code given below, a & b are integers.
heron <- function(a,b)
d = 0
for(c in abs(a-b)+1:a+b-1)
area <- ((1/4)*sqrt((a^2+b^2+c^2)^2-(a^4+b^4+c^4)))
d <- ifelse(area == floor(area), d+1, d)
The code is returning wrong values. For example,
heron(5,5)=2 but when I plug in
b=5, the code it gives the answer as
0. Looking at the code, it's obvious that there is some problem with the for loop and the ifelse part; but I am not able to figure it out, hence this question. Thanks in advance.

Smush.it - the Yahoo! service - is currently down (http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/) so I'm not able to do much troubleshooting at the moment.
Smush.it, in fact, is frequently down. It's a forgotten corner at Yahoo!, understandably since it doesn't generate any revenue.
I've looked into running all the optimizations locally, but it's just not feasible using GD (PHP's image processing library). It could be possible with imagemagick, but that's not always installed on shared hosting platforms.
I've also toyed with creating a version for those that admin their own servers which would require pngcrush, libjpeg, etc... to be installed. It would be faster and more reliable but would be of no use to the majority of users.
Assuming Smush.it comes back online in the next few days I'll implement the bulk smush feature that's be long-requested. I'd also be glad to have someone join in on the project, ideally someone with more time than I have. Please get in touch if you're interested in helping to maintain the plugin.
I appreciate all of your patience with this plugin and my limited availability...

Copying detailed anatomy drawings
After seeing the streaming class on anatomy for artists by Marshall Vandruff 2 weeks ago, I bought myself David K Rubins book: "The Human Figure - An anatomy for artists' and the big George Bridgman book.
For the past week I have been drawing heads only out of big shapes and blocks just as Bridgman explains in his book.
Now I want to copy a skull drawing out of Rubins book which is very detailed and I am having a lot of troubles with it.
I dont really know how to start out copying these detailed anatomy drawings and soon I am erasing and changing all the shapes to get everything to work.
I was wondering how other people here go about copying detailed anatomy drawings.
Do you start out with the big shapes and build from '3D' or do you copy stroke for stroke much more like a '2D' approach if you know what I mean.
any tips are more then welcome!

You start (with a light pencil or something you can draw over) with the large blocks and shapes so that A. You get the basic shape of the scull correct, just like Bridgman teaches you. Provided you get this step correct then you have a decently proportioned basic outline of the skull.
THEN you move on to what Rubins (Perhaps you mean Rubens) does, which is the little details. Remember how you said you're constantly changing all the shapes? Now that you have a large reference to where all the little details go on the big form, you can go in and accurately layer those little shapes over the overall forms.
One more thing - Don't copy, understand. You're doing these studies so you know how the head is constructed, you're not just trying to replicate what your reference looks like exactly.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try this out with setting up al the shapes first and then do the details. this sounds like the logical thing to do, just so hard to just not dive into all the cool details

Nowadays I'm doing the opposite where I'm trying to get the overall pose and overall image done as quickly as possible and my attention to detail and rendering quality is suffering. It's all about forming good habits built in strong foundations I'm right with you man.

This was a great disappointment. The circus background is interesting and well researched, but the characters are superficial and boring.
