Hey Hey Ho Ho, the NRC Has Got to Go!October 17th, 2009
I'd just like to say a couple of things t0 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, from my own perspective and speaking from the heart (metaphorically, of course.) Sorry if this is not balanced and scientific sounding.
I hate the NRC. No, not just hate, I loath the NRC with a deep down passion so strong it's almost primal. I feel that it is the ethical duty of every descent human being to do what they can to oppose the NRC's very existence. I see nothing, absolutely nothing of any good at the NRC. The NRC is reprehensible in its actions and decisions. The policies and procedures of the NRC are not only generally unscientific, they are just plain wrong and go against the grain of basic human decency.
The world is a worse place because of the NRC. The US is a worse place because of the NRC. People have died because of the NRC's existence and will continue to die. People choke on the fumes of coal plants and die preventable early deaths. Human beings suffer and die, no doubt most are honest, descent people and the NRC is to blame. Companies are destroyed and their losses are not intangible – the economic losses impact people, they make life worse.
Energy policy in the US is directly responsible for economic loss, enviornmental damage and human suffering. The NRC is always part of the problem and never part of the solution. The harm it causes directly and indirectly is vast and unacceptable. There is absolutely no excuse. To say that the NRC is trying to improve things or change how it functions is a worthless statement. This agency has never, in its entire history been anything more than a national disgrace and a bureaucratic disaster. It has never contributed anything positive to the world and certainly not to national energy policy.
I do not want to hear excuses or explanations. There is no excuse for such a pattern of consistently bad policy and regulatory action. There are not an infinite number of additional chances. The system is not one that needs to be repaired, reformed or adjusted, it is so corrupt and inept from top to bottom that it needs to be completely disbanded.
As for the commissioners of the NRC and the various bean counters, although they are not legally capable for the damage they have caused, I hold them in the same regard as the common criminal.
If you work for the NRC, then I consider you personally to be at about the bottom of the barrel when it comes to basic character and decency. Despite the fact that some have called it "the best place to work in the government," the agency is so disgracefully poor at what it does, so harmful, so dishonorable and completely lacking of any redeeming qualities that anyone who works for the agency has either no concept of nuclear energy or is simply a spineless and gutless accomplice to the actions of the agency. If you work for the agency, you are helping and taking part in activities for which there is no excuse. Even being unemployed would be preferable to any good, descent, honest person. Working for the NRC is a half a step above working as a hitman.
As an American, I love my country. Every time I leave the US, no matter how much I like the destination, part of me always feels very good to come back. I appreciate the founding principles of this nation and the great opportunity it has given so many. I am inspired by the achievements made by the US. Yet these feelings are tempered by a deep sense of shame for my government's continuing indefensible actions, the NRC's very existence chief amongst them.
Look, everyone who knows the first thing about nuclear energy or politics in the US knows how bad the NRC is. I'm saying this because I'm independent. I'm not a company, I don't build reactors and I don't have billions at stake. The NEI, the companies that hope to build reactors, the various industry activist groups all know the NRC is a den of liars, thieves and scoundrels, but they can't come out and say it. I can.
NRC raises concern about new reactor design
WASHINGTON — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission raised safety concerns Thursday with the design of a proposed next-generation reactor to be built by Westinghouse Electric Co., saying a key part of the reactor may not withstand a tornado, earthquake or even high winds.
The NRC staff directed Westinghouse to make changes in the reactor design so that its outer shell, which is supposed to protect the reactor's concrete containment structure, is strengthened. The staff concluded the outer steel and composite structure does not meet the design requirements for safety.
The reactor, called the AP1000, is one of three next-generation reactor designs under NRC review. The others are being proposed by Areva Inc., the French nuclear company, and GE Hitachi Corp.
But the AP1000 is one of the most popular and has been widely viewed as likely to be the first of the new reactors to be built in the United States. At least seven utilities have selected the reactor design in preliminary applications filed with the NRC, anticipating the potential construction of 14 units.
Westinghouse spokesman Vaughn Gilbert said the company already has begun reviewing what changes might be needed.
"We're comfortable we will be able to make the modifications to meet the (NRC) requirements," said Gilbert in a telephone interview. He said he does not expect the issue to delay certification of the AP1000 and still expects the first of the plants operating by 2016.
The NRC had scheduled its safety review to be completed by 2011, followed by a formal certification process.
David Matthews, the NRC's director for new reactor licensing, declined to say whether that schedule might be delayed, saying the timetable depends on how Westinghouse choses to resolve the problems raised by the agency.
If the issues aren't resolved "the certification process couldn't be concluded," said Matthews in a conference call with reporters.
The NRC's concern involves the cylindrical 10-story high so-called shield building that surrounds the reactor's concrete containment dome. Inside the dome is the reactor pressure vessel that contains the highly radioactive fuel rods. The outer structure also is critical to AP1000′s passive emergency cooling system. Atop the structure is a huge tank of water that would be released, relying on gravity, into the reactor in case of an emergency.
The AP1000 is the most thoroughly tested, reviewed and examined reactor design in history. It is based on a larger version of the AP600, which itself took over a decade to develop and receive even initial certification on. The AP600/1000 family has been in the process of design and review since the late 1980′s. Westinghouse has spent many billions of dollars on the process.
The AP-1000 is also set to be the most popular new reactor for construction, although whether that will happen in the US is not clear. China is ahead of schedule on the construction of four AP-1000s, in various stages of completion. Despite a full commercial Ap-1000 never having been built before, China plans to begin operation around 2013, just five years after groundbreaking. In the US, a license for construction cannot be secured in five years. The Chinese reactors cost approximately two billion dollars each, the four reactors having been contracted for eight billion US dollars. The Chinese are optimistic that future AP-1000′s may only cost one billion dollars each. The expected price in the US is seven billion dollars per unit.
It should be noted that the AP-1000 received final approval from the NRC in 2005. The NRC has a long history of approving a design or a permit and then turning around to change the rules after having given their blessing. Thus, the approval of any reactor or power plant can never be assured, even if the physical construction is nearly complete. The NRC did this several times before. For example, the Shoreham nuclear plant was approved by the NRC and built. The plant was nearly complete when the NRC changed the rules to allow for any state or municipality in within ten miles of the plant or on a planned escape route from an emergency to effectively veto the plant's permit. It does not matter whether its the same town, county or even state.
The actual mandate that the NRC retroactively imposed on Shoreham was that all the communities that might be involved in an evacuation must be consulted as part of emergency planning. However, as some towns made it an issue NOT to approve ANY plan for evacuation, the entire process was stalled. This became a political issue that was taken up by New York State politicians as well, some of whom vowed never to allow the multi-billion dollar plant to open. At this point, the NRC could have and should have asserted its federal status to claim jurisdiction and prevent the plant from being held hostage. They did not.
If that is not bad enough, the NRC finally required the entire plant to undergo a decommissioning process costing hundreds of millions more. The plant never produced a watt of electricity and the reactor went critical only very briefly in some tests. The amount of neutron irradiation of the reactor vessel was negligible and no significant residual radioactivity existed in the plant. Yet the NRC forced the reactor vessel to be cut up and burred as low level waste, despite being nothing more than simple stainless steel.
It is directly because of the actions of the rat bastards who run the NRC that local political interests were able to stop Shoreham. Because of this, there is not enough generating capacity in the Northeast and New York region to shut down the old filth factories that have been burning coal to fill in the gap for the past twenty years. As someone who lives in Connecticut, every time I inhale, I suck in some coal exhaust thanks to the NRC. Of course, others have it much worse.
This is not an isolated indent and unfortunately, the slime at the NRC has pulled this bullshit on many companies, investors and electric rate payers. The slime at the NRC pulled some stunts with Seabrook Nuclear. The plant began construction in 1976, but due to the NRC's decision to allow anyone and their brother to stand in the way of opening a nuclear plant, politicians in Massachusetts were able to block the opening of Seabrook. Seabrook isn't actually in Massachusetts, but it's within a few miles of the border, thus allowing them to kill a nuclear plant that isn't even located in their state. The plant finally managed to open in 1990, four years after physical completion (which itself was delayed badly). Billions of dollars over budget and years behind, the plant cried uncle on plans for a second reactor.
Of course, it goes even beyond this. Thanks to the scumbags at the NRC, you can't even buy a glowing tritium keychain in the United States, despite the fact that it is completely harmless and pretty damn useful if you're looking for your keys in the dark.
It seems that the lying scoundrels at the NRC will unfortunately be able to continue their schemes, despite efforts to help alleviate their tyrant. The US Senate is currently in a position to help stop these dastardly SOB's. However, "Environmental" groups are pulling out all the stops to try to stop them.
11 Groups to Senate: Block Weakening of NRC Licensing for New Nuclear Reactors
Eleven Key Environmental and Energy Organizations Warn That Public Health and
Safety in Jeopardy if New Reactor Process is Rushed; Would Not Address Real
Cause of Delays
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Leading U.S. environment and
energy groups call on the Senate to reject any additions to the climate bill
that would further "streamline" the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC)
licensing process for new reactors, because it could threaten public health
and safety. The groups explain in the letter that "the acceleration of those
review and hearing processes would not address the real cause of delays in the
NRC's licensing process: premature submission of incomplete and poor-quality
applications by the industry."
The full text of the letter submitted to all 100 U.S. Senators is as follows:
You can read the whole text of the letter at Reuters. Sadly, if history is any guide, there will be an uphill battle to take back some of the power from the NRC. It should be noted that the current application process is extremely extremely long and redundant. If we approved aircraft this way, we'd be lucky if there were a dozen aircraft in service. Yet somehow, we can manage to build complex mechanical systems and keep them extremely safe without the approval process being decades long!
The fact of the matter is that if a reactor design is safe, you don't need to certify every place it is built. It's been demonstrated before.
Just to assure that this is not misunderstood: There is some sarcasm in the pictures, but I'm not overstating how I feel about the NRC. I do hate it more than almost anything else I can think of. If you happen to be associated with the NRC, please don't try to convince me that there's something good about the agency. Just stay the hell away from me. I don't like people like you and don't associate with such people.

Our Philosophy &
Small and serious-minded, our Ph.D. program assures students of close working relationships (both academic and social) with faculty, advisers and classmates. We are unapologetic about the rigor of our program. We believe the best and brightest always strive for new levels of knowledge and discovery. We encourage and support our students as they test the boundaries of theory and application.
Amidst an environment that is both intense and supportive, students are given opportunities for social and co-curricular activities, both inside and outside the school. Our twice-weekly "Afternoon Tea" is a popular gathering where students and faculty convene for an informal break filled with lively discussion. The annual picnic has been a late-summer tradition for decades and gives students an opportunity to enjoy nearby Schenley Park, a great place to explore nature or participate in sports and recreational activities.
Perhaps the most defining characteristic of our doctoral program is the open access to faculty. Our culture is defined by collaboration, and interaction at all levels of the school is expected, not simply encouraged. This culture of collaboration extends to other Carnegie Mellon schools and colleges, and our students often partner with researchers and students across campus. We understand that many of the relevant business problems lie between the intersections of disciplines, and Carnegie Mellon's open door policy of research has resulted in path breaking research that has set records for citations and Nobel Prize recipients.
Congrats to Carnegie Mellon startups PHRQL and Marinus Analytics, both winners of $200K in the UpPrize competition.

This Bamboo Handle Crochet Hook is a dream to use lightweight, smooth and warm to the touch. The thicker handle helps relieve hand fatigue making it ideal for those who suffer from joint pain.

I LOVE these hooks! I can crochet twice as fast and twice as long. I prefer the flat head hooks, not the pointy "hook-like" ones and you can't tell from the on-line pics which type these are. I've gotten both from the actual Hobby Lobby stores.

Got one f these in a size 13/9.0 another in size h8/5mm. LOVED that they were so lightweight, they didn't "wear out my hand, or cause my arthritis to flare up!! Not sure I would like them in the smaller sizes, but the Aluminum in the larger sizes was terrific!!
3 out of 3 found this review helpful.
Recommend: No
The overall heft of the hook is so light it's uncomfortable, the handle, though it MIGHT be bamboo, isn't thick enough to feel comfortable in the hand, and finally, the shaft of the hook and the head are NOT smooth but just rough enough to feel like you're fighting e/ chain you make. If price is your ONLY criteria for purchasing a crochet hook, I believe you'll find cheaper hooks when you take into account sales and/or coupons. My advice is to wait for those. I'm not even sending my 2 hooks (both Yarnology) back 'cause it wld cost more to send them back than what I paid for them, not to mention the hassle of printing out the shipping labels, etc. Any way you look at these, they're NOT a bargain. I'm not even going to give them away in fear of scaring any potential crocheters from trying. Veteran hookers wld probably be insulted by such a gift.

Hi all and I wish to thank everyone again for all the gracious comments,I've been kind of busy cleaning up the yard preparing for the winter but it has been raining the last couple of days so I managed to plein aire paintings using my imagination so here they are I call the first Fishermans cove ,limited palett using w/c on 140# cp the second is Hainted house using w/s colored pencils on 140# HP
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center
Southern Appalachian Artists Guild
Fred I like your hainted house with the haint in the tree.
C and C always welcomed
Holly the depth perception that you are seeing is from the type of lens being used on th camera. A telephoto lens compresses the distance between items in the picture and wide angle spreads them out. Sometimes this bis very evident sometimes not if you are not familiar with the subject.
Jen C & C's always welcome
For some reason, I don't get email updates from here anymore. I checked my settings and I thought it says it's okay, but not sure exactly what is should say.
Fred - I love both those paintings. The monochromatic lake is wonderful, but I totally love the Hainted House.
"Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life." ~ Pablo PicassoC & C are always welcomed and appreciated.
Fred, you are really into limited palette and you are doing it well. There is a lot of movement and drama in Fisherman's cove. The little rock formation in the center makes me think of a bird. The water is reflecting the sky well.
Before I realized that the wooden house was haunted I thought, "I'd never go in there." Now that I know, I am certain that I'd never go in there. You are so good with the old wood textures. Perfect painting for the eerie month of October.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
I need the advice of some creative people and, of course, I thought of you people. Above is a photo of my oldest great-grandson, Clayton, with his cousin, my oldest great-granddaughter, Kaetlyn. It has been tough to find a good photo of Kaetlyn since she usually has an unnatural, exaggerated smile which doesn't flatter her. It's the, "Say Cheese," look. This photo may make a good reference photo. I would crop it considerably and remove Clayton. What I need is some ideas as to what I could have her resting her chin on. I thought of a tree trunk and my husband suggested a fence railing but neither excite me. Any suggestions?
Here is the cropped version.
Here is another photo of Kaetlyn with her daddy, my grandson, Rob. This is a possibility with her cousin, Nathan, removed from the picture. This one tells a story while the other one is just a portrait. Opinions please.
Sam I think her arm with a bent wrist would be the natural choice. The arm of a couch is another possibility.
Fred- I love both your Monochromatic Fisherman cove and the Haunted House. Spooky..scary little house. I wouldn't want to go in there either
C&C are welcome and appreciated.
Sammy- I am thinking the full face portrait should be Number One and later on you might want to do the other to tell story. I am also thinking if you draw her right hand under her chin, it would be a very cute pose.
Thanks, Geri and Sandi. I had thought about the arm but hate to try to make that up. The hand is a good idea, too. Perhaps I can find a good arm and/or hand in another photo. I have to find a reference photo for her right ear.
Sam - just for an idea - here is a picture of my daughter - she had an art project & so we dressed her up & went off to the woods (in winter & froze our (&**&() - but had fun. Hope it helps!
Judy C&C appreciated
Sammy - I love that photo just the way it is with both Clayton and Kaetlyn - her expression and smile are wonderful and Clayton has such a sweet look too - and I think this one tells a story of a really neat cousin relationship. The one of Kaetlyn and Rob is priceless, if you did them both I'm sure no one would be unhappy (except maybe you with all that work!) If you crop Kaetlyn out you may want to straighted the angle of her head if you are going to put a hand under her chin. Could you frame her in the painting sort propped chin on the inside window sill looking out? (Picture painted from outside looking in view) You have such beautiful children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren!
Fred - your limited palette/monochromatic paintings are all amazing to me, Ditto everything Sammy said. The scene is so peaceful - I wouldn't mind being there. That little ghost in the tree in front of the "hainted" house is perfect. I love your old delapidated house.
Jen (and everyone else, too) - I am really glad to be back too - but see what I said - you are just a nice person and that makes it really fun and easy to play "pick on Jen". We'll play nice for a little while.
Geri and Judy - looking at and seeing things differently as a result of painting/drawing - artistic endeavors - is a phenominon that sort of sneaked up on me, too. It was sort of like an epiphany to me the first time it happened boodles and boodles of years ago. That "vision" sort of slipped away during the 20-25 years that I did no painting or art work at all. For it to re-appear for me was like a second epiphany for me. I think that's probably something that happens to all of us "wierd artist" people as we grow and gain experience. I think it's really neat!!
C & C always welcomed and encouraged.
It would be nice if we messed up we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over

�Hi. I'm porting android on omap3530 with dspbridge. The kernel was git from official android-omap-2.6.29. �Now the system is working well and got the /dev/DSPBridge device. But when I following the building guide to executue
./cexec.out ddspbase_tiomap3430.dof64p
the system just said�
./cexec.out: not found
Then I tried every .out files and all of them are the same "not found". Any ideas about the problem? As the official android-omap kernel is working with dspbridge, there must be some ways to deal with the dsp side, just don't know how...

You should use TI official android filesystem, userspace files compiled for Linux OS and Android are not the same, Android uses a different toolchain to build its binaries, as a whole differen libc implementation, that is why you cant execute other binaries than the ones built wit Android build system.
Check omapedia.org and Android section to get the source.

It was an emotional evening on Friday, June 27, as Jim Ventress, the retiring chief professional officer of the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley, received honors and tributes in recognition of his 29 years with the club in the SCV.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The party, dubbed "Jim Ventress: The Man, The Myth, The Legend," was held in the gym at the Newhall facility of the Boys & Girls Club of the Santa Clarita Valley and attracted more than 100 guests to celebrate Ventress' retirement.
Newhall building named for Ventress
Ventress, seated on stage in a "royal" chair of red velvet with gold trim, bent over in tears and held his head in his hands when Diane Fiero and Carl Kanowsky, presidents of the Governing Board and Foundation Board of the Boys & Girls Club of SCV made the announcement that the Newhall clubhouse would be renamed in his honor.
Members of both boards surrounded Ventress on stage as he was presented with a photo of what the Newhall clubhouse will look like emblazoned with his name on the building.
Members of the club's Governing and Foundation boards also presented Ventress, with the assistance of Princess Cruises, a gift of a Princess Cruise.
Ventress will have the choice of either a 10-day Mexican Riviera cruise or a 15-day Hawaiian Island Cruise.
"Jim was grinning ear-to-ear when they presented him with the gift," said Ronda Chobanian, development director of the Boys & Girls Club of SCV Foundation. "He has always wanted to go on a Princess Cruise."
Kanowsky welcomed guests to the retirement celebration and read letters from his sons, who were members of the club.
Governing board member Tom Dierckman followed Kanowsky by introducing Ventress and recounting his many accomplishments on behalf of the youth of the SCV.
A parade of dignitaries offered congratulations to Ventress and presented him with resolutions and certificates of recognition.
Santa Clarita Mayor Laurene Weste read a letter from U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer and presented Ventress with a commendation from the United States Senate honoring Ventress.
The commendation had been arranged by U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein.
"I've never seen this before," said Weste of the Senate commendation.
Weste then presented Ventress with a special award from the city of Santa Clarita, "the key to the city."
"You will always know that your city loves you," she said.
The audience laughed when Weste commented, "It (the key) does not open the money vault."
Representing California State Senator Steve Knight, Weste also presented Ventress with recognition from the California State Senate.
Patsy Ayala, field representative for California State Assemblyman Scott Wilk, presented Ventress with a special resolution from the California State Assembly.
Rosalind Wayman, representing Los Angeles County, Brett Walter, representing U.S. Congressman Buck McKeon, Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Capt. Roosevelt Johnson and Hart High School District Superintendent Robert Challinor, also made presentations to Ventress.
Lifetime pass
Bonnie Rabjohn, president of Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor, presented Ventress with an oversized lifetime pass to the Valencia theme park.
"We've been so fortunate to work with you and the club," said Rabjohn. "We see the impact of your work with the kids. We see the results first hand when so many of your kids that have grown up in the club come to work for us Six Flags and we know that they have been touched by Jim Ventress."
Rabjohn said one of the qualities she appreciates about Ventress is, "You are real."
"You are authentic, you are real, whether you are talking to a CEO or a kid on the basketball court you are Jim, you are the real deal," Rabjohn said.
Rabjohn told Ventress that he wasn't going to "get out of riding the new roller coasters."
"On behalf of the entire Six Flags family we're giving you a lifetime pass to Six Flags," she said.
Ventress stood up to hug Rabjohn and waved the oversize "pass" while smiling broadly.
It is a tradition at Six Flags Magic Mountain that Ventress, accompanied by youth from the Boys & Girls Club of SCV be among the first riders when new coasters are opened at the theme park.
A long career
A host of speakers offered up remarks about Ventress' long career with the Boys & Girls Club organization, most of it spent in the SCV.
Corey Dantzler of the Challengers Boys & Girls Club, JR Dzubak of the Boys & Girls Club of America, Newhall Branch Manager Matt Nelson of the Boys & Girls Club of SCV and Development Director Ronda Chobanian of the Boys & Girls Club of SCV Foundation, offered insights into Ventress' 37-year career with the Boys & Girls Club of America.
Jim Ventress
Ventress closed the evening with several stories that touched many in the audience.
He recounted one of his first success stories with troubled teens, the tale of Helen English who, through her involvement with the club, transformed from a life headed toward a life in the gangs to a successful young woman that Ventress walked down the aisle at her wedding.
Ventress teared up when he spoke about a young boy battling cancer and his successful efforts to bring the child together with his idol, Shaquille O'Neil of the Los Angeles Lakers. He later spoke at the child's funeral.
He also spoke out about the difficulty in getting approval to build the club's Newhall facility which faced intense opposition in the community.
"It wasn't easy," he said.
Ventress said he took then Los Angeles County Sheriff's Capt. Bob Spierer and Santa Clarita Valley community leader Tom Veloz to Newhall Park and showed them what was going on, kids wearing obvious gang colors gathering at the park, smoking and looking for trouble.
He convinced them that a club building in that location would be asset for the community.
In a close, 3-2 vote, the Santa Clarita Parks Commission approved the partnership between the club and the city to build the Newhall facility at Newhall Park.
Ventress acknowledged the support of several late community leaders who were instrumental in helping build the club including Veloz, former Hart High School District Superintendent Clyde Smyth and attorney Sheldon Allen.
The 20,000 sq. ft. Newhall facility was completed in 1994. In 2003, the 27,000 sq. ft. Sierra Vista facility opened in Canyon Country.
Weste, in her remarks at the beginning of the evening told the audience that she and Linda Storli, also in attendance at the event, were two of the three votes that approved the building of the Newhall facility.
"Todd Longshore, bless his heart, he is no longer with us, was the third vote," she said.
Ventress became emotional when he spoke about how much he will miss working at the club.
"I will miss being at the club every day with the kids, but I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life," he said. "And I will continue to be around to support the club."
The evening began with a social hour featuring hors d'ouvres from Salt Creek Grille Catering and a chance for guests to sign a special white rocking chair to be given to Jim. Guests also perused numerous club scrapbooks that detailed the history of the club in the SCV.
A special performance by Ballet Folklorico opened up the festivities to honor Ventress.

Chateau Chauvin
Varietal: Red Bordeaux
The blended red wines of Bordeaux have gone down in history as the finest wines every produced, with collectors and many of the general public still eagerly anticipating the wineries of this region's new releases to this day. The secret to Bordeaux's monumental success has been their careful blending of high quality grape varietals, controlled and protected by French law. In Bordeaux, wineries can only produce red wines using a blend of two or more of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec or Carménere grape varietals, with the latter two becoming less and less commonly seen on bottles. The vast majority of Bordeaux red wines use Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals, boosted by a little Petit Verdot. These three grapes compliment each other beautifully as they age in oak, rounded out their tannins and the high astringency of the Sauvignon, and resulting in wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.
Region: Bordeaux
Although most commonly associated with their superb blended red wines, the world-famous region of Bordeaux in France is responsible for a relatively wide array of wines, ranging from the sweet and viscous white wines of Sauternes, to the dry and acidic single variety white wines found all over the region. However, it is the red wines which regularly make the wine world's headlines, and have historically been regarded as the finest on earth. The secret to the region's success is the fact that the warm and humid climate, coupled with mineral rich clay and gravel based soils produces grapes of excellent quality. Wineries in this region have spent hundreds of years mastering the art of blending and oak aging in order to get the best results from each grape, and remain the envy of the world to this day.
Country: France
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
Appellation: Saint Emilion
Of all of France's wine regions, the one most closely associated with high quality red wines is undoubtedly Bordeaux. Within Bordeaux, there is no other sub-region quite as highly esteemed as Saint Emilion, situated on the hallowed right bank of the Gironde river, and home to many of the world's most famous and dearly loved wine chateaus Saint Emilion is revered for its finely crafted and utterly delicious blended red wines, most commonly made by blending together wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot varietal grapes. The region is one steeped in tradition, and the blending techniques and methods have been handed down through the generations to ensure that the wines which bear the name Saint Emilion remain amongst the best in the world.

State Farm on storm-related claims in Illinois
By Illinois Public Radio
I try to make sure that they understand it's going to be a long process… tedious… first thing is get contractor out, get repair estimates and go from there.
Dale says a large percentage of the property claims from Sunday's storms are for total losses. He cautions residents to stay alert for scams and advises clients to always consult with local agents before paying for services.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Melissa Cazun
"With red kidney beans, rice, cheese and plenty of spices, this recipe makes a nice version of a classic dish. It can be served as a main dish, and is quite good when accompanied by a salad and some crusty bread."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (14 ounce) package
boil in bag rice
1 1/2 pounds
lean ground beef
2 (15 ounce) cans
kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (24 ounce) jar
picante sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
chili powder
1/2 teaspoon
crushed red pepper flakes
12 ounces
shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
My husband is a big fan or red beans and rice and loved this dish. It's not quite my style, but I still thought it was good. The servings seemed huge, so I only made half the recipe and it was plenty. I also think I used more red pepper flakes and less paprika.
This dish does not remotely resemble "classic" red beans and rice.
14 Ratings
I have used this recipe for several potlucks by just adding more rice. I have also cut up kielbasi into bite size pieces instead of ground meat for variety. I find this recipe very good and my bowl is empty before the end of the a potluck dinner!
This is so simple yet so absolutely delicious. The reason why I love to eat chile! Enjoy with a glass of Rioja!
This is the absolute worst recipe i have ever tired.
Pretty good taste but I wasn't sure I understood the recipe - I used an ENTIRE 14 oz box of Sucess rice and thought that was too much. 3 bags would have been plenty. I also used only 8 oz of cheddar due to the fat factor. I really couldn't taste the beef in this at all - I don't know whether to add more beef or leave it out altogether next time. At any rate, this was quickly consumed by my teenaged boy.
Very good! We had it this evening and was absolutely delicious!
this was sooooo good. wow. thanks so much for the recipe. I only changed it up a bit, but only because of necessity (this was all I had): i used half ground beef and half kielbasa, and I used half red kidney beans and half white kidney beans. Oh, and I omitted the cheese, because I don't have any. I don't think it would need cheese. absolutely delicious!!

(h/t Guillame — thanks!)
This explains the blog I posted on Friday. While the in-flight ejection and the canopy-less, Mach 2 flight remain controversial, we now know there is a movie.The movie's web site even thanks the Russian Knight acrobatic team for their support.
It's called Kerosene Cowboys, a Mario Van Peebles flick, and it's scheduled for release on November 9. Mark your calendars! Watch for any hint of the possible, in-flight, back-seat Flanker ejection.
For those who want to know more about the plot of the movie, here's the write-up from IMDB:
In 2001 in Iraq, two American NAVY pilots – Butch Masters and Tom Craig- are ordered to bomb an abandoned plant. The order appears to befalse. American experts get killed in the plant. A secret chemicaldevice, called "Rainmaker", designed for oil fields destruction, getsstolen. Military court cannot prove pilot's intention, and gives themdishonorable discharge. After 7 years Craig is reach [sic] and famous. Hemanages a private pilot team, working for Top Gun and for movies.Masters is a "grease monkey" in a small airport. He still tries toinvestigate his old case, and dreams of his own pilot's team. In orderto get a license to fly Russian jets, Masters goes to St.Petersburg… At the same time, Kurdishterrorist group plans to capture a part of Northern Iraq … They plan to use "Rainmaker" to destroy oilfields… Terrorist's base is located in Northern Iran… NAVY intelligence offers Masters chance to "clean his name" byperforming a secret … mission … Using unmarked planes, they have to bomb the base anddestroy "Rainmaker". Doomed to death, betrayed by friends, left inSyrian desert, Masters and his team finds unexpected support from aside of "Russian Nights" jet fighter aerobatic group. Russians andAmericans go to final battle side by side, and leave no chance toterrorists.

Junior's Pizzeria
2908 Oak Lake Blvd
Charlotte, NC 28208
(704) 329-0700
I was nearby the old Charlotte Coliseum area, on my way to another lunchtime spot when I saw this place and realized it was usually crowded. This fact, in and of itself is often somewhat meaningless in a town like Charlotte. A lot of people live and work here and it was lunchtime, after all. Some people who believe they don't have alternatives may just simply not know any better. But this place seemed worth the wait for some reason. And it is.
The wait time for ordering and receiving food was a little long (which was understandable for the lunch rush) but when pizza arrived the quality more than made up for it. True authentic New York Italian cuisine and served hot and fresh. The pizza was served on a tin pan reminiscent of the old days in New York at places like Rays Famous. The slices are gigantic. I had a slice of the chicken parm and a slice of peperoni & sausage. I could not finish them both. My friend ordered a calzone and it was also straight up off the hanger. (If I invite you to lunch – and pay for it, I will sample your food. If that is not acceptable to you, then take it on the arches and dangle.)
On my most recent return trip I had the Stromboli and it was very good as well, along with a slice to go.
Most people will agree that the secret to good NY style pizza is the crust. Junior's pizza crust has a good combination-ratio of crispy/chewiness and above all, the crust is thin - but not too thin.
Another impressive aspect of this place is that when you visit the website http://juniorspizzeria.com it takes you directly to a full menu with prices. Even if the food wasn't as good, they would get an A+ from me for that move alone, which is greatly appreciated by those of us who aren't pretentious posers and just want a good meal at a reasonable price. Overall I recommend this place for lunch or an early dinner.
Their hours are Monday through Saturday, 11AM to 8PM.
Expect a crowd at lunchtime. But the pizza is well worth the wait.

In the fourth period, after a series of line plunges, the second team took the ball to Groton's 5-yard line, where, near the end of the period, after two tries through centre, Murray went around Groton's left end for the touchdown. Murray kicked the goal.
The summary:

I shouldn't be saying this because I want to have all of the carrot cake for myself. Westville simply has the best carrot cake. Hands down better than any of the other bakeries in the neighborhood, Magnolia included.

I love this place. I had a turkey burger which was amazing and a peach cobbler for dessert. The menu is simple, but the food is great. Will definitely be back for more.

i honestly believe that they have a "one-up" on Gray's Papaya. Their "natural" hotdogs are amongst the best i've ever had. I took my father here and he loved it too -- so it's really a great, comfortable place to take anyone. It's also very nice in the summer b/c the front is completely opened up. Also, who can resist those friggin' giganto "homemade oreos". Overall, very homey and convenient comfort food.

I tried it and liked it. Great service, food, atmosphere...etc. Win, win at this hangout. Delivery is super fast and food arrives hot even in the recent 0 degree wind chills. Eat there!

This is my new fav place...very easy comfy atmosphere, they deliver and most importantly the food is awesome. Always fresh (especially the veggie plate) and delicious. Love the West Village location as well...

Upscale burgers, dogs, sandwiches. Reasonable priced and worth it. Small & often-times cramped...better to take-out in my opinion. Definitely a welcome spot in the W Village.

The effect of sintering temperature on the crystal growth of the Bi-2223 phase in multifilamentary tape
Young, E.A., Huang, Y.B., Riddle, R., Yang, Y. and Beduz, C. (2002) The effect of sintering temperature on the crystal growth of the Bi-2223 phase in multifilamentary tape. Physica C: Superconductivity, 372-376, (2), 931-934. (doi: 10.1016/S0921-4534(02)00936-X).
Full text not available from this repository.
Bi-2223 tapes with 37 filaments, Ag–Mg–Ni alloy outer sheath and pure Ag inner sheath were heat treated in 7.5% O2 at different temperatures for 40 h. XRD of etched samples for increasing sintering temperature from 798 to 847 °C showed an increase of eightfold in the absolute intensity of the Bi-2223 (0 0 10) peak, without substantial decrease in the intensity of the Bi-2212 (0 0 Image) peak. These changes were correlated with the amount of liquid phase obtained from the Bi-2201 (0 0 8) peak. Optical microscopy also suggested an important role of the liquid phase by revealing significant changes in the morphology of Bi-2223 grains with increasing sintering temperature.

A family of Humanists in Massachusetts just asked a judge to order an end to the state mandated, teacher led, daily declaration in public schools that the nation is "under God" via the Pledge of Allegiance.
The one previous challenge that reached the Supreme Court of the United States was based on the First Amendment, but they dismissed the case on a technicality without ruling on 'Under God', stating that the plaintiff who brought the case lacked standing.
This case uses a different tactic. It's the first to seek equal rights for atheists and humanists based on the right to equal protection under a state constitution. The legal basis is that (1) any public school activity of a patriotic nature must be nondiscriminatory and (2) "under God" discriminates against atheists and humanists by making believers into patriotic insiders, and nonbelievers into unpatriotic outsiders.
In many ways, the case is following the same roadmap that gay rights advocates used in Massachusetts starting in 2003. They sued the state citing the same equal rights guarantees and won the legal right to marry. Massachusetts became the first state to issue gay marriage licenses and then gay rights advocates in other states copied the same model.
So this could be huge with 'Under God'. The idea is that if this tactic wins with 'Under God' in Massachusetts, then it could win for atheists in other states who adopt the same methods. I suppose, as with marriage equality, we'd end up with two different kinds of states where the Pledge is concerned. Kids in the red states will be saying the post-McCarthyism pledge, and kids in the blue states will be saying the pre-McCarthyism Pledge. Up north we'll be "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice" and down south we'll be "one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice."
What do you think? Will 'Under God' prevail in Massachusetts? Or will atheists finally win equal rights under the law like everyone else? If we do, do you think it will proliferate to other states? Why or why not?

James Oakes, distinguished professor of history at the Graduate Center, discusses Freedom National: The Destruction of Slavery in the United States, 1861-1865, his new book about the aims of the Civil War, with Sean Wilentz, the George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History at Princeton University. With Freedom National, Oakes, a leading figure in the study of the Civil War, Reconstruction, slavery, and the Old South, lays to rest the popular notion that the Civil War was merely a war to restore the Union. He argues instead for antislavery's centrality to the war. Oakes's previous books include The Radical and the Republican: Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and the Triumph of Antislavery Politics; Slavery and Freedom: An Interpretation of the Old South; and The Ruling Race: A History of American Slaveholders. Noted historian and public intellectual Sean Wilentz has written with precision on such topics as race and class in America, popular music, and contemporary politics. His many books include the Bancroft Prize-winning The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln; Bob Dylan in America; and The Age of Reagan: A History, 1974-2008.

ABC: Be Careful About Working for Christians
Job-searchers, there are plenty of reasons to refuse an offer: thereŌĆÖs the wrong industry, the better offer, the long commute ŌĆō or maybe, suggests ABC, the dreaded Christian boss.
During ABCŌĆÖs ŌĆ£World News with Diane SawyerŌĆØ Nov. 26 segment, Senior National Correspondent Jim Avila reported that the latest Supreme Court case will be ŌĆ£making your bossŌĆÖ faith a question to ask in future job interviews.ŌĆØ The Supreme Court agreed to hear appeals challenging the Obama administrationŌĆÖs contraception mandate the same day. The mandate would force employers to provide contraception and abortion-inducing drugs for employees regardless of religious conviction.
During the arguments, the court will focus on craft-store Hobby Lobby and cabinet-maker Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp., both owned by Christian families, to determine whether religious freedom applies to for-profit corporations. Story continues after the video.
The ABC segment featured Elizabeth Wydra from the Constitutional Accountability Center an expert on the issue. Wydra claimed, ŌĆ£The women who are employed by these companies are legally entitled to no cost FDA-approved contraception coverage. And the employers are trying to take that away from them based on their own religious views.ŌĆØ
However, ABC censored the background of Wydra and the Constitutional Accountability Center, a self-described ŌĆ£think tank, law firm, and action center dedicated to fulfilling the progressive promise of our ConstitutionŌĆÖs text and history.ŌĆØ In a piece for CNN, Wydra revealed bias, arguing, ŌĆ£In all of American history, secular, for-profit corporations have never been understood to ŌĆ£exerciseŌĆØ religion ŌĆō have you ever seen Exxon Mobil in the pew next to you at church? ŌĆō and have never been protected by the right to free exercise.ŌĆØ
Wydra also filed the brief in the Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, Inc. case, where she is listed as a ŌĆ£Counsel of Record.ŌĆØ Surprise, surprise, ABC made no mention of that detail either ŌĆō a continuation of the mediaŌĆÖs special geniality towards the mandate.

Test ID: HUNTK
Hunter Syndrome, Known Mutation
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Carrier testing of individuals with a family history of mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome)
Diagnostic confirmation of mucopolysaccharidosis type II (Hunter syndrome) when familial mutations have been previously identified
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Documentation of the specific familial mutation(s) must be provided with the specimen in order to perform this test.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS-II), also known as Hunter syndrome, is a rare X-linked condition caused by mutations in the IDS gene. MPS-II is characterized by reduced or absent activity of the iduronate 2-sulfatase enzyme.
The clinical features and severity of symptoms of MPS-II are widely variable, ranging from severe disease to an attenuated form, which generally presents at a later onset with a milder clinical presentation. In general, symptoms may include coarse facies, short stature, enlarged liver and spleen, joint contractures, cardiac disease, and profound neurologic involvement leading to developmental delays and regression. Female carriers are usually asymptomatic.
The IDS gene is located on the X chromosome and has 9 exons. IDS is the only known gene to be associated with MPS-II. The recommended first-tier test for MPS-II is biochemical testing that measures iduronate 2-sulfatase enzyme activity in fibroblasts: IDNS / Iduronate Sulfatase, Fibroblasts. Individuals with decreased or absent enzyme activity are more likely to have a mutation in the IDS gene identifiable by molecular gene testing. However, enzymatic testing is not reliable to detect carriers.
This test identifies whether a previously identified familial mutation in the IDS gene is present.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The identification of a disease-causing mutation in an affected family member is necessary before predictive testing for other family members can be offered. If a familial mutation has not been previously identified, order HUNTS / Hunter Syndrome, Full Gene Analysis.
Analysis is performed only for the provided familial mutations. This assay does not rule out the presence of other mutations within this gene or within other genes that may be associated with metabolic disease.
A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. Call Mayo Medical Laboratories for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.
Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, family history, and other laboratory data. Errors in our interpretation of results may occur if information given is inaccurate or incomplete.

By Doug Cooper, Extension Communications
Iowa State University Extension climatologist Elwynn Taylor returns to the weekly crop and weather report this week. Taylor is joined by integrated pest management specialist Rich Pope and corn agronomist Roger Elmore for this week's roundtable discussion on the 2009 growing season.
Taylor says hot humid temperatures will be around for a week or so, but July temperatures should moderate. Near ideal growing conditions are expected for the next couple of weeks.
Pope reports that weeds are still a topic of discussion at the weekly field specialists teleconference. Insects are also starting to show up in some Iowa corn and soybean fields.
Elmore talks about corn recovering from hail damage and how volunteer corn in corn fields is difficult to control with herbicides, saying cultivation is probably the best solution depending on the stage of the corn.

Top Frugal Billionaires
At least once in your life - maybe even once a week or once a day for that matter - you have fantasized about coming into a lot of money. What would you do if you were worth millions or even billions? Believe it or not, there are millionaires and billionaires among us who masquerade as relatively normal, run-of-the-mill people. Take a peek at some of the most frugal wealthy people in the world.
Warren Buffett
Millions of people read Buffett's books and follow his firm's, Berkshire Hathaway, every move. The real secret to Buffett's personal fortune may be his penchant for frugality. Buffett, who as of September 2012 had a net worth of approximately $46 billion, eschews opulent homes and luxury items. He still lives in a modest home in Omaha, Neb. which he purchased for just $31,500 more than 50 years ago. Although he's dined in the best restaurants around the globe, given the choice he would opt for a good burger and fries accompanied by a cold cherry Coke. When asked why he doesn't own a yacht he responded: "Most toys are just a pain in the neck."
Carlos Slim
While most of the world is very familiar with Bill Gates, the name Carlos Slim rarely rings a bell. However, it's a name worth knowing. Slim, who is a native of Mexico, as of March 2012 holds the No. 1 spot as the world's richest billionaire - that's right, richer than the uber-famous Microsoft founder. Slim is worth more than $69 billion, and while he could afford the world's most extravagant luxuries, he rarely indulges. He, like Buffett, has lived in the same home for over 40 years.
Ingvar Kamprad
The founder of the Swedish furniture phenomenon Ikea struck success with affordable, assemble-it-yourself furniture. For Kamprad, figuring out how to save money isn't just for his customers, it's a high personal value. He's been quoted as saying "Ikea people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels." That goes for the founder as well. He flies coach for business and when he needs to get around town locally he either takes the bus or will head out in his old Volvo.
Chuck Feeney
Growing up in the wake of The Depression as an Irish-American probably has something to do with Feeney's frugality. With a personal motto of "I set out to work hard, not get rich," the co-founder of Duty Free Shoppers has quietly become a billionaire but even more secretively given almost all of it away through his foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies. The foundation has distributed around $6.2 billion dollars into schools, research departments and hospitals.
A frequent user of public transportation, Mr. Feeney flies economy class, buys clothes from retail stores, and does not wast money on an extensive shoes closet, stating "you can only wear one pair of shoes at a time." He made his children work the same normal summer jobs as most teens.

The dirty little secret of some of the world's wealthiest people is that they rarely act like it. Instead of over-the-top spending, they're busy figuring out how to save and invest to have that much more in the future. It's a habit you might want to consider in order to build up your own little storehouse of cash.

I have an OpenBSD 3.5 release box i am having problems with, it has an em parent interface with about 30 vlans on it.
Things had been running fine for about 6 months and then the machine simply froze with no sign of why. I did all the normal checks and replaced memory, i even replaced the whole machine with a well tested one
(3 different network card manufacturers tried - em, fxp, xl).
Eventually i tracked this problem down to a 2 clients on the same vlan using sonicwall global vpn client (version 188.8.131.52) to connect to the same external vpn server, as soon as the second client makes the connection the box simply dies. From the spec of the vpn software is supports ipsec pass-though and nat-t - even if it doesnt work it shouldnt be able to bring the firewall down.
Over the past few months I have tested this with OpenBSD 3.5, 3.6 and in desperation tried FreeBSD 5.2 and 5.3. All just freeze up as soon as the second client starts their vpn client software.
All the machine is doing is natting the internal network and no cleverness in pf with multiple connections or altq or any vpns from the firewall (isakmpd is not running on the box).
Has anybody else experience this with natting vpn clients?
As a fix i have simply moved this client to a dumb hub and adsl modem, however this is not ideal as we have no control over the traffic.

With a depleted crew due to Thanksgiving Eve, we attempted to do a real laid back, easy going show. We figured we'd call it "Sandwich Night" and have our crew, cast, and friends make and eat sandwiches on the air. Chaos erupted when over 100 people showed up, meaning our crew of exactly two people was immediately overwhelmed and overworked. What followed was a truly chaotic show focused on sandwiches, that also saw a hostile takeover by The Dolchnakov Brigade, Horatio Sanz manning a camera, a trip into the MNN control room, a video message from Presidential candidate Connor Ratliff, and the video account of Random Andrew's blind date. A really fun, messy, episode that became an instant classic and immediately established Sandwich Night as an annual pre-Thanksgiving tradition.
Chris Gethard, veteran improviser and comedian from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NYC, moves his successful talk show from the world of underground comedy to the world of underground television. Join Chris and friends, plus the mysterious Human Fish and Random Jean, as they navigate the weird waters of public access television and welcome heavy hitter guests and musical acts along the way.
