Application ID:
Permit(s) Applied for:
Article 17 Titles 7 & 8 Municipal SPDES - Surface Discharge
Project is Located:
North Greenbush, Rensselaer County
Project Description:
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is pursuing a Department Initiated Modification to the State Pollutant Elimination System (SPDES) Permit (NY0087971, DEC #:4-38320001/00001) pursuant to 6NYCRR Part 750-1.18(b)(6) and (7), in order to add language in the combined sewer overflow Best Management Practice #6. The current SPDES permit, issued 11/19/09 and effective on 12/1/09, does not meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act as it does not require the permittee to report and abate illegal dry weather overflows. The DEC has corrected the error in this draft modification of the permit by adding the following language in the combined sewer overflow Best Management Practice #6, replacing the words "Not applicable" with: "Dry weather overflows are prohibited. Upon the permittee's inspection, the permittee shall promptly abate any impairment in the operation or function of a regulator, and report the abated action within 24 hours to (1) the Regional Water Engineer in accordance with 6NYCRR part 750-2.7(c); and (2) the tributary community." In addition, this draft permit corrects the effective and expiration dates on the interim and final Permit Limits and Monitoring pages so they are sequential.
Availability of Application Documents:
Filed application documents, and Department draft permits where applicable, are available for inspection during normal business hours at the address of the contact person. To ensure timely service at the time of inspection, it is recommended that an appointment be made with the contact person.
State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) Determination:
Project is an Unlisted Action and will not have a significant impact on the environment. A Negative Declaration is on file. A coordinated review was not performed.
SEQR Lead Agency: None Designated
State Historic Preservation Act (SHPA) Determination:
The proposed activity is not subject to review in accordance with SHPA. The permit type is exempt or the activity is being reviewed in accordance with federal historic preservation regulations.
Coastal Management:
This project is located in a Coastal Management area and is subject to the Waterfront Revitalization and Coastal Resources Act.
Opportunity for Public Comment:
Comments on this project must be submitted in writing to the Contact Person no later than Jan 08, 2010.

Chapter Twenty-Five
I clutched onto him for dear life as I felt his arms wrap around me. "Oh Ana." He laughed as the tears rolled down his face. "I've missed you, Kid." He sighed pulling back to look at me.
"I missed you so much." I whispered covering my face in his shoulder as I breathed in his scent. "It wasn't the same without you." Danny put my feet back onto the ground.
"Are you surprised?" He laughed wiping his own tears.
"Yes." I pulled back from his embrace as Finn and my Grandparents came over. He ran his hand down the bruise on my cheek looking over at his parents. I was too tired this morning to put my make-up on over my bruised face.
"I'm so sorry." He whispered pulling me back into a bone-crushing hug. "I should have been here to protect you." I shook my head.
"You were protecting me, protecting my freedom." He shook his head looking at his parents, my Grandparents.
"That's not enough, Kid. Not for me." He kissed my head picking up Matty. "Not when you're getting hurt." I put my head on his shoulder pulling out my phone to look at the time.
"It's too early to talk about this." I sighed looking at Finn.
"I say we go out for breakfast. It's something my family always does when one of us gets home from a deployment." Finn smiled at us taking my hand in his.
"That sounds great to me. Real, good food." Danny laughed to himself.
"I want waffles." Matty sighed curling up on Danny's shoulder closing his eyes. "Chocolate waffles."
"Whatever you want, Bud." Danny said as we walked out of the Gate and towards the car. "We have a lot to talk about I think." I got a pointed look making me blush. I was embarrassed of what my mother did. Danny is the man I wish was my father, the man who now is. We walked to the car as I stayed silently next to him. I didn't know what to tell him. What would make it better for him, to know I'm fine? Nothing could make this better. Federal agents are involved. His career could be ruined.
"Get in, Ana." Finn whispered, shaking me out of my thoughts. We were already at the car and I needed to get in.
"Sorry." I muttered getting into the back with Finn.
"Are you okay? You seem every out of it lately." He said his voice clouded with concern.
"Yeah, I was just thinking." I said buckling myself in. I looked out of the window as Danny got in and helped Matty with his seatbelt. "A little out of my head lately." I sighed.
"Everything is going to be okay. I know it will be." He smiled taking my hand in his.
"I know." I leaned my head on his shoulder as we drove off to a little dinner that was near the airport. I listened to the mumbling of Matty as he told everything that happened to us to his father. I pulled my cell phone out and messaged Z. I sat back as we pulled in and got out.
"Ana, I do have something to tell you." I looked over at Danny as we sat down. "I, uh, talked to a lawyer before I left." I cocked my head to the side and stared at him.
"Why would you do that?" He took a deep breath as he tried to find the words to tell me what he planned. "I had him work on something for me while I was away."
"Danny." I looked up from my menu.
"I'm filling for divorce with your mother, Ana." He looked at his parents as they kept Matty busy. "I can't let this go on." I sat there confused.
"You're just going to let her take me?" I could feel the betrayal blossoming in my chest. I got the taste of a normal life, the feel of grass after being locked away in a house your whole life, I didn't want to give it up. Now it was being ripped away from me.
"Of course not! Ana, you are as much my daughter as Matty is my son. I won't ever let her take you away from me. I'm demanding full custody of you." I closed my eyes as his words sunk in. "I have had him working on our case the time I was gone. I'm going to fight for you if it's the last thing I do. I'm not giving up on you; I'm giving up on her."
"What, what made you decide on divorce? It's only been a couple weeks." He nodded.
"I know. I shouldn't have rushed this marriage like I did. I should have got to know that women I thought I loved. She sweet talked me into it, and I should have thought about it more than I did. I don't regret this marriage. I can't. You came out of it. I get to protect you like no one has. I get to take you away from her."
"Danny…" He looked at me.
"You're the best thing that happened out of this marriage. Ana, no matter how long we've been together, I will always love as if you were my flesh and blood." I closed my eyes wiping the tears as they feel down my face. "I'll do anything to protect you, Kid. You're mine to take care of now."
"She's going to tare you apart if you do that." I sighed. "It's not worth it." He sat forward and stared at me.
"You are worth it. I'm so proud of you, Ana. You grew in that house and you are still perfect. Nothing like her." I closed my eyes as a waitress walked over.
"What can I get you all?" She smiled at us. I put my head on Finn's shoulder as he rubbed my back. This was a lot to take in. Danny's divorcing her without even finding out she's cheating on him, and he's fighting to keep me with him. My head is spinning from all of this. Finn ended up ordering for me as I tried to stop the spinning that was happening.
"You alright?" Finn asked feeling my forehead.
"Yeah, just tired." I opened my eyes to look at him. His wheels were turning in his head as he stared at me.
"Ana," He whispered. "You're worrying me." I looked over at Danny.
"I'm really okay." I smiled at them. I could feel the pounding in my head but it's something I've been getting used to since I was young.
"Babydoll, you need to see a doctor. These headaches are scaring me, what if something's wrong?" Finn said pressing gently at my neck.
"I'm okay, really." I looked over to see everyone staring at me. I felt like everyone was analyzing me. It made me feel like a goldfish in a fish bowl. I was saved by the waitress bringing over the food.
"You're going to see a doctor even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming." I sighed taking a bite of my waffles.
"Pushy." I muttered to him biting the inside of my cheek. I hate doctors. Especially after everything that happened with Ryder.
"Only when it involves your health. Someone got to take care of it." I shook my head at him…
"I was wondering Danny, if it's okay with you if I take a trip to Texas to visit some old friends this weekend? I haven't seen them in a couple of years." Danny looked up at me. "I can pay for it all. I just wanted to ask you if it was okay." He smiled.
"Sure. I'm asking your mother to get out of the house soon, so it would be better if you aren't here." I nodded.
"That's probably a good idea. She's not going to be happy." This is new and dangerous territory. I promised Z I would go and see Benjamin. I shut him out after Ryder died. I didn't have the strength to see the face of the man who gave me my little boy after just losing him. I need to face him now, to show him that everything is okay. My little man might be gone, but he will always live on. In memories and in my heart.

Iowa Law Enforcement Participates in National Drunk Driving Campaign: "DRIVE SOBER OR GET PULLED OVER"
- Last Updated on Wednesday, 04 December 2013 09:20
- Published on Saturday, 20 August 2011 00:00
Des Moines, IOWA --- Iowa law enforcement will join nearly 10,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide, August 25th-September 7th, in support of an intensive crackdown on impaired driving and other traffic offenses. The effort has been dubbed, "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."
Impaired driving is a serious problem. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows the number of alcohol-impaired, driving fatalities in America fell from 2008 to 2009, but the fatality totals are still too high. In Iowa during 2009, there were 371 fatalities with 92 resulting from an alcohol related crash, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation. Nationwide 10,839 people died in crashes in which a driver or motorcycle rider was at or above the legal limit, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The age group with the highest percentage of alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes was the 21-to-24 age group.
"All too often, innocent, law-abiding people suffer tragic consequences and the loss of loved ones due to this careless disregard for human life. Because we're committed to ending the carnage, we're intensifying enforcement during the crackdown," advised Larry Sauer – Bureau Chief for the Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau. "Since twice as many alcohol-impaired crashes occur over the weekend, and four times as many occur at night, we will be especially vigilant during these high-risk times."
Across the country, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 grams per deciliter or higher. According to the latest data, nearly a third of fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involved a driver or motorcycle rider with a BAC above the legal limit – an average of one fatality every 48 minutes.
Law enforcement around the state will be aggressively looking for all impaired drivers and other traffic violators during the crackdown. During last year's special traffic enforcement period (sTEP), August 24–September 6, there were 7 fatalities, two of which were alcohol related. Also during the enforcement effort, nearly 35,500 traffic violations were reported by Iowa's law enforcement.
Sauer further stated, "I believe Iowa's efforts over the sTEP enforcement waves and throughout the year are making a difference in saving lives and reducing serious traffic crashes. Motorists recognize driving impaired is simply not worth the consequences. Don't risk it. Remember: "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over."

Humans have yet to push the planet past the point of no return when it comes to global warming, according to the surprising results of a new study. The Vancouver Sun has the story:
By the time the existing emitters are pulled from the road, torn down or phased out over the next 50 years, they will have collectively pumped out 496 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide, their study concludes. The study says this will raise carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere to less than 430 parts per million and push the average global temperature 1.3 C above pre-industrial levels, which is below the 2 C threshold widely expected to lead to dangerous and potentially catastrophic warming.
"The most threatening emissions" are from sources that have yet to be built — the vehicles, homes, factories and energy plants of tomorrow, the researchers conclude.
While existing infrastructure is less of a threat to climate than they expected, the researchers stress there is an urgent need to take action.
"Because most of the threat from climate change will come from energy infrastructure we have yet to build, it is critically important that we build the right stuff now — that is, low carbon emission energy technologies," Caldeira says in a summary.
That's good news and an excellent reminder of the urgency needed in building a better future.
(via Sightline Daily)
A) Isn't this going to infuriate the Chinese, Indians et al. by saying the past and current emissions of the West are no problem and exceeding the "safe level" will be their fault?
B) Isn't there increasing doubt that 450ppm is a "safe level"? See James Hansen's analysis in "Storms of My Grandchildren" saying we don't want to go there unless we want to risk 70m sea level rise. (Summarized in this post.
The article does say that we haven't reached the point of "dangerous and potentially catastrophic warming," we have to realize that the pollution level doesn't just jump from point A to point B - there is a path between them, and that path has been shown to have it's own destructive effects. It's not a "safe level" really. It's a "we're not yet doomed" level.
I don't think anyone in their right mind would actually say "Oh the pollution we pumped into the world are no problem," anyway.
Also, I was curious about your post about James Hansen's work, but it's not working.
It seems that the report is just saying that catastrophe will happen slightly later than we expected.

the stargazer's shawl
1 1/4 yards flannel fabric
2 1/4 yards bobble trim
matching thread
Prewash your fabric.
Open out the fabric, then fold it on the diagonal. It should measure about 58 inches on the long edge.
Cut along the straight edge.
Pin and machine baste bobble trim along right side of two shorter edges of shawl, beginning and ending at folded edges and extending the ends of the trim slightly beyond the edge. Be sure to baste the trim onto only one side of shawl, not through both layers.
Now, turn the shawl so right sides are facing, with the bobble trim sandwiched between (except for the ends, which should be poking out so they will finish to the inside). Stitch a 1/2-inch seam along the raw edges, leaving a 4-6-inch opening for turning.
Clip corners, turn and press. Topstitch all three sides, sewing closed the opening in the process.
You're done! Tie it in front, wrap it around and tie it in back, or just drape it over your shoulders… You're all set for a brisk night of stargazing!

We had a wonderful weekend away for the wedding. I'm still trying to edit all my pictures and get my kiddos off to school a bit late after all the craziness and late nights! I'll share some of the highlights later but for today I want to continue with the brunch theme for any of you that might be hosting Mother's Day or a bridal or baby shower in the near future! Check out the recipes for Blueberry Lemon Cake and White Sangria if you missed them.
For our Easter brunch, I made two egg stratas. A strata is basically a casserole with sliced bread saturated with an egg mixture, then baked. Stratas are perfect for a brunch because you can make them up to 24 hours in advance, and they are hearty and compliment a lot of other brunch foods like ham and fruit salad. {Please use your imagination for "after" photos - apparently I was a bit busy on Easter Sunday and forgot to take them!}
A side note: keep these casseroles in mind for next Easter because they require a lot of eggs, so you can buy white eggs and dye the shells. We used our dyed shells as little flower vases at each place setting, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover how easy it is to gently crack the top of the egg with a knife and pour out the contents for cooking. I saved the shells from three dozen eggs in the weeks leading up to Easter and the cousins had so much fun decorating them on Easter Saturday. So much easier than blowing out eggs (but that is good fun too!)
First up for stratas:
8 strips of bacon
12 slices white bread (I used "Texas Toast" style bread that has wide slices)
1 bunch (2 cups) asparagus
9 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup half and half
1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese
*Spray 9x13" casserole dish with cooking spray.
*Cook bacon until crispy; drain and crumble. Cube bread into 1" pieces. Trim the woody ends of asparagus and cut into 1" pieces, then blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water; drain.
*Layer bread, bacon and asparagus in casserole dish. Sprinkle with cheese.
*Whisk together eggs, milk and half and half; add dry mustard, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over bread evenly.
*Cover with plastic wrap and gently press down on top of strata so all bread cubes are in egg mixture.
*Cover and chill for at least two hours, preferably overnight.
*Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until set. Slice into squares to serve.
After I made the Bacon, Asparagus and Cheddar Strata, the phone rang and I started chatting with my friend while preparing the French Toast Strata. Oooops!.....I started cubing the bread without thinking. This strata looks pretty and is served easily if you keep the slices of French bread intact, so don't cube them like I did for the first strata. This simple French Toast Strata is a big hit with the kids - I omit the Praline Topping because I'm pretty sure my kids get enough sugar from the maple syrup they douse it in! (adapted from foodnetwork.com)
I hope you enjoy these brunch recipes as much as we do!
What have you been cooking up lately? Join the party and share your goodies, and have a happy week ahead!

The Spencer County High School Future Farmers of America continued their string of excellence last week, winning multiple contests at the Kentucky State Fair, including first place finishes in four categories.
"We were the only school to win multiple contests this year," said Darryl Matherly, agriculture teacher and FFA sponsor at the high school.
The City of Taylorsville and the Spencer County School District are both considering tax hikes for the coming year, although neither have officially set their rates yet.
The city commission voted last week to approve a raise in both real and personal property tax property rates for 2016. The current property tax rate is .1670 cents per hundred dollars, with the proposed raise taking it to .1750. The real property rate would rise from .2116 cents per $100, up from .2088. The estimated increased revenue would be $9,142.
After the unexpected closure of the Fisherville Post Office nearly four months ago, the office officially opened Monday, August 24.
The Post Office, located at 15125 Old Taylorsville Road, was forced to close its doors on April 27 due to safety concerns after brown recluse spiders were discovered inside the building.
Post Office Box customers who had been picking up their mail at the Eastwood KY Post Office will now be able to resume pick up at the Fisherville Post Office.
Friends of library group to meet
Due to the Labor Day holiday, the Friends of the Spencer County Library's September meeting will be held on Monday, August 31, at the temporary library at 513 Taylorsville Road. The meeting is open to the public.
Spencer Magnet Labor Day deadlines
The Spencer Magnet will have early deadlines for the September 9 edition. The early Retail and Classified Advertising Deadline (incl. KYANA & KCN Readers) is Thurs., Sept. 3rd at 12 p.m.
Officials were still on the scene Wednesday afternoon after a fire destroyed a home on Airport Road hours earlier. It's not known if anyone was home at the time of the blaze and firefighters began searching the rubble after extinguishing the flames.
The fire began around 9 a.m. and spread quickly. Neighbors said they called 9-1-1 immediately after noticing smoke and flames, and within minutes the house was fully engulfed.
Summer vacation came to an end for Spencer County students last Wednesday as they headed back to school.
Spencer County Superintendent Chuck Adams reported that the first day was very smooth without any major problems.
For most students, it was simpy a return to class, but for the youngest, it was a milestone as they began Kindergarten to begin their educational journeys. The step proved emotional for children and parents alike, with a few tears mixed with a lot of smiles and hugs.
That fleeting flirtation with raising property taxes at the last meeting of the Spencer County Fiscal Court was just a memory Monday night, as members of the court voted unanimously to keep the rate at 8.8 cents per $100 of assessed property.
Earlier this month, there was some discussion of a possible hike in the tax rate with some members of the court making the case that a slight adjustment could be justified. However, when it was time to set the rate at Monday's meeting, the vote was quick and with little discussion. The vote was to keep the tax rate as it is.
Spencer County Sheriff Buddy Stump issued a memorandum Tuesday morning advising Kentucky State Police dispatchers that his deputies would no longer be accessible by cell phones. The move came the morning after the Spencer County Fiscal Court voted against a measure that would have provided a $2,500 stipend to Stump's office for the cell phones.
If you choose to drink and drive in Taylorsville, beware. The Taylorsville Police Department is joining with law enforcement agencies across the nation for the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign that runs from August 21 through Labor Day.
The strong, national impaired driving crackdown will include high-visibility enforcement, high-profile events and will be supported by national paid advertising, creating a comprehensive campaign to curb impaired driving.

With the convention over the weekend and wedding planning, some sleeping, I'm behind on these again. Oh, and yesterday's reading by Steven Drachman was pretty good! I probably won't get back to being fast and regular blogging until after the wedding, Windycon, and the NSF grant proposal deadline November 15 (and given one of the links I will wonder why I'm working so hard on it…).
Is my facebook page a liberal echochamber? Probably. I've been thinking about this topic a lot, and about the need to maintain objectivity in the light of the human proclivity toward bias, hyperbole, and self-righteous anger. We hear anecdotes, but don't examine data carefully. The interet makes for a steady stream of anecdotes to cloud the mind. It used to be primarily the right, but I see it more and more now on the left. Or, it's everywhere now and the internet is making it worse.

I want to link again to this Centuari Dreams post about the fraction of sun-like stars with planets in the habitable zone, commenting on the proposed fraction of 34%. There's a brand new result about the habitable zone around type M stars being dramatically bigger than thought, which are often not considered sun-like enough to be taken seriously, even though they're very common in the Milky Way. It's going to take a while to get really reliable nunbers, but I suspect the message to take away is that there are a lot of Earth-like planets out there numbering in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Earth-like meaning that there could be liquid water on the surface, not necessarily life.
BBC interviews Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, discoverer of neutron stars. Her advisor got a Nobel prize for it, but she didn't. Sucks to be a grad student, and knowing the story shows how unfair that exclusion was.
NSF funding issues are going to hit astronomy very hard. Ouch. Possibility of closing Kitt Peak National Observatory mentioned.
Perry officials censored climate change out of environmental report. They changed not just the language, but cut facts they didn't like out of the report. This, I believe, is criminal and evil. Entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts. And when a skeptic of the studies goes and redoes the analysis, the physicist finds out that the climatologists can do data analysis just fine, but the denier will continue to deny anyway. They way they go on about biased climatologists in it for the money, I can only assume Big Oil or Libertarians are paying them to deny loudly and publicly. What scientists say, what the public hears. Too easily exploited by the deniers. Here's the original full article about explaining climate change better. I wish this was the only problem.

How to draw poses or the human figure
There are many people who are struggling how to draw the human figure, how to draw poses. This two tutorial videos show you two methods how to start. One of them is using the box method the other one is a kind of unique but I think that's very good idea and useful.
Of course it's just a help how to start and draw your own figures without reference pictures but you will need some anatomy and skeleton knowledge to use them properly.
Ok, I don't want to write too much so here are the tutorials:
The first one is the "lightning bolts" method.
The second is the "box" method.

Jazz CD Reviews
Daren Burns – Fear Is Not the Natural State of Civilized People – Urban Nerds
Published on August 12, 2012
Daren Burns – Fear Is Not the Natural State of Civilized People – Urban Nerds 004, 49:48 [3/15/12] ****:
(Daren Burns – fretless bass, producer; Wadada Leo Smith – trumpet; Scott Collins – guitar, loops; Sarah Phillips – piano; Craig Bunch – drums)
Electric bassist Daren Burns has been a fixture of the free improv scene for about three decades, including fronting the Southern California-based Onibaba, and has performed with similarly-skewed artists such as guitarist Nels Cline, trombonist Bruce Fowler (Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart) and multi-instrumentalist Vinny Golia (also in Onibaba). Fear Is Not the Natural State of Civilized People (recorded in 2009 but not issued until earlier this year) is Burns' first solo venture, released via his self-started, Urban Nerds label (whose motto is "creative music for the 21st century"), which plans to distribute Onibaba's latest output later this year.
Burns' 49-minute, four-track album is an intense, postmodern experience which Burns dubs post-fusion. Burns formed a skilled quintet well-suited to his ideas of controlled composition: trumpeter, long-time friend and mentor Wadada Leo Smith (Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, Anthony Braxton, Derek Bailey), alongside former fellow students and collaborators from the California Institute of the Arts: Scott Collins (guitar, loops), pianist Sarah Phillips and drummer Craig Bunch. While Burns' music is experimental, this is not free jazz in the traditional sense. Burns writes structured pieces which allow musicians to create unique interchange with the material and include their own inspirations and personality traits. Burns uses the expression of freedom as an intertwined, thematic unit in important ways, both musically and otherwise. Each track is named after a historical or current political or social catalyst for change. The album title is attributed to Burmese opposition politician Aung San Suu Kyi: the title track is also a tribute to the recently released democracy advocate. Other pieces honor famed Native American rebel Geronimo, Gandhi (the leader of Indian nationalism and pioneer of non-violent resistance) and Nigerian musician and activist Fela Kuti.
The 12-minute opener, "Goyathlay" (the Anglicized spelling of the Apache name for Geronimo), is forceful and assertive. Burns supplies bass lines which bolster the melodic and contentious undercurrent, and is often the only player who outlines the melody, as Collins' provides a foundation of contorted electric guitar effects and later on a hard-hitting, lengthy guitar solo. Smith is a vanguard performer throughout "Goyathlay," and sounds much more vehement than the introspective tone typically associated with his work, although he never grandstands and makes each trumpet note count, most notably the sustained note which concludes this piece. The 14-minute "Gandhi" has a softer and more ambient timbre. At the start, Phillips imparts an Anthony Davis-esque quality, where single, high-register piano notes pour out atop a static, electronic background. Drums then unobtrusively roll in, eventually followed by Smith's lyrical and reflective mannerism, where he makes use of the arrangement's open space: listeners can hear Smith's feeling of discovery and invention as he and the rest of the group traverse this atmospheric composition.
"Aung San Suu Kyi" has a similarly contemplative approach, with an appropriate Asian connotation via nuanced percussive touches. This is fusion distilled to a muted essence, with modest elements of folk, blues, jazz and contemporary creative music. Smith's polished trumpet frequently takes the lead, where he showcases his mastery of simplicity: he is versatile but minimal. Burns follows suit with his understated but inspired bass interludes. The quintet closes with another intentionally potent cut, "Fela Kuti." This 13-minute number is the least confrontational, with a propelled bass groove which rides and prods during the whole duration: occasionally the tune echoes Miles Davis' jazz-rock phase. Smith's fertile bright tone is on full display, while Collins employs judicious application of effects, amplification and distortion which sometimes enters Jimi Hendrix territory and becomes an intriguing foil to Phillips' avant-garde leaning keyboard. Unlike some modern composers, Burns does not produce a straitjacketed musical terrain during Fear Is Not the Natural State of Civilized People. There are too many instances in the avant-garde community when theoretical systems dead-end to a cul-de-sac. Here, Burns establishes a framework but always sets up invigorating opportunities for improvisational possibilities: Burns proves it is better to think outside the box than create a new box.
TrackList: Goyathlay; Gandhi; Aung San Suu Kyi; Fela Kuti.

Futurist Derek Woodgate, David Demaris, Maggie Duval and I have been working on a showcase for Maker Faire Austin (October 20-21), with "DIY home of the future" as our core concept, assuming we don't drift into other strangeness.
Creating a futurist showcase is a great way to stumble onto new concepts; one that we're playing with is ambient intelligence, defined in Wikipedia as "electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people." It's kind of like ubiquitous computing, or ubicomp -- the integration of information processing into everyday things... cars, toasters, wall, refrigerators, dust -- which I discussed with Adam Greenfield, author of Everyware: The Dawing Age of Ubiquitous Computingin our Worldchanging interview last year. Ubicomp and ambient intelligence are both about processors embedded all around us; the difference is that ambient intelligence describes an environment, while ubicomp is about an "internet of things."
Imagine sensitive nanobots among particles of dust, working in aggregate to facilitate smart-room responses. At our Maker Faire installation, we want to suggest this sort of future. The DIY aspect is that you can construct a reality of your own making, making your home less a set of walls created by others than a malleable infrastructure that can be shaped according to your tastes and desires: a wall that could be a composite of images from anywhere, about anything; a fine-tuned environmental program that adjusts heat and humidity according to your moods; a "smell wall" that can emit odors, even pheromones; a biofeedback room where you can reach technology-mediated mental and physical states; a Second Life sort of visual interface that is pervasive throughout.
Second Life is part of the picture because it points to the potential for a graphical operating system and interface for the virtual home of tomorrow, in which immerseive environments are coded for large high def display throughout the living space, creating a bridge between our everyday lives and something like television, but one that you experience irather than merely watch. This sort of home life is already percolating: there are gamers in my family who own massive high-def television sets that fill the room with the game experience. We're imagining that and more. For instance, at Maker Faire, we're going to show "Healing Rhythms" by Wild Divine, a "whole body wellness system" that combines meditative exercises with biofeedback hardware and sensors. A future high def ambient system like this could be used to create a meditation wall custom-synced to biorhythms, possibly including light and sound technology to help tune specific brainwaves. (This is for wellness, arguably not so much for spiritual voyages; I'm not convinced computer-generated environments would be effective in breaking the cycle of birth and death.)
Of course there's a down side: a world where some significant part of your everyday reality is computer-mediated and media-infused contains infinite real estate for advertising. That aspect of commercial television will be leaking into everything -- a phenomenon visualized persuasively in the movie Minority Report. You'll want to have a popup blocker embedded in your brain.
How likely is it that all this will come about? Ambient intelligence and the computer-mediated DIY environment of the future are suggested by current trends, but more extreme visions, like Minority Report's ad-saturated extended mall environment, might drive people away, and therefore fail. I want to believe there's a limit to our tolerance for marketing messages; consider the Eisenbergs' conjectures, supported by research, that heavy-handed ad-saturated marketing just doesn't work. That said, it's a near-truism that while we seldom get the future we predict, we always get the future we choose.
At Maker Faire, my team will not be giving much weight to the down side in our vision of the home of the future; we prefer to focus on the use of digital technology to change, hopefully enhance, what it means to be human. Some of us who've been cyborging like crazy for almost two decades now are already creeping up on the digital future and the promise of a technological singularity, whatever that might be. I've been skeptical of some visions of singularity. But thinking about future environments, watching change accelerate, it's hard to avoid a supposition that we're on the verge...but just what we're on the verge of is quite open to speculation.
erm, you could consider some more appropriate image to accompany this story, since it ain't really about teledildonics. i don't know what bright green gender equality looks like, but pretty sure this isn't it...
peace to ye;

What is blanking the egr? Is this something just for Diesels?
Thinking of doing the same myself, I am goin blanking the EGR this weekend also and was thinking eith green cotton or induction kit!
Thanks a lot Gary! After to putting those mudflaps on I just kept thinking must get alloys must get alloys must get alloys!!! Haha!
Car's comin on great pal! Wheels are a nice upgrade at a great price and glad you got the mudflaps sorted in the end...should look well with badges too. Looking forward to watching it progress.
I will check out that kit - but its going to take some persuading to change my mind from the cotton filter. I think its nice that you don't have to change the kit yet you still get improvement. Can I ask what you have done about an exhaust system?
Thanks mate,
Before purchasing though, have a look at the K&N57s kit
Its a bit more expensive and I've not fitted it personally but it does look to be better and definitely bigger with additional side cold feed induction.

Yes folks, that's right...not only has man not caused the Earth to warm, it is likely not warming at all.
Of course, then there's this:
The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that many American cities and towns suffered record cold temperatures in January and early February. According to the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average."
Right. The countdown to someone posting the hockey stick graph is on....

Pens defeat Senators, take commanding 3-0 series lead
Penguins/NHL Videos
OTTAWA -- Seven weeks have passed since general manager Ray Shero stunned the hockey world - including fans in Canada's capital city - by acquiring star right wing Marian Hossa.
A lot of people, including many fans in Pittsburgh, considered that move a risk. Critics suggested Hossa was a rental player. Skeptics labeled him a playoff underachiever. Pundits wondered if he could develop chemistry with captain Sidney Crosby.
Seems kind of silly now, doesn't it?
Hossa scored his first playoff goal in four years and assisted on another to fuel the Penguins' 4-1 victory Monday against the Ottawa Senators in Game 3 at Scotiabank Place.
"He can't score in the playoffs, right?" said right wing Pascal Dupuis, acquired Feb. 26 from Atlanta along with Hossa, for forwards Erik Christensen, Colby Armstrong, prospect Angelo Esposito and a 2008 first-round pick.
"He struggled last season (with Atlanta), but that was four games. Look what he's done through three games this year."
Hossa is second to only Crosby and center Evgeni Malkin for the team lead in playoff scoring, with five points, and the Penguins are ahead in this best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal playoff series, 3-0.
They can sweep the Senators with a victory Wednesday in Game 4.
Last season, Hossa recorded only an assist with Atlanta as the Thrashers were swept by the New York Rangers in the opening round.
He likes Ottawa, where he began his NHL career. Still, Hossa was happy to send a sellout crowd home disheartened last night.
"It is nice to finally get that first goal and have a good game - especially in this building," Hossa said. "The most important thing is we are up, 3-0, and that's what counts."
Goaltending counts, too, and the Penguins are fine in that department.
Marc-Andre Fleury continued to silence his critics with a 33-save performance. He has stopped 86 of 90 shots in the series - a .955 save percentage that follows a .948 effort to close the regular season after returning Feb. 28 from a lengthy absence due to a high right ankle sprain.
Crosby credited Fleury last night with keeping the Penguins in the game early.
Ottawa, energized by playing at home for the first time in the series and the return of captain Daniel Alfredsson from a knee injury, was intent on making a statement in the first period. But Fleury turned aside each of the Senators' 14 shots, and the Penguins entered the first intermission with confidence.
"We kind of looked at it as a period won because we were 0-0," defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "We said, 'That's the best they've got.' We kind of weathered the storm, and after (forward Max) Talbot scored, we started playing the right way."
Talbot answered Ottawa left wing Nick Foligno's goal with his first career playoff tally at 5:39 of the second period.
Hossa's nifty pass set up that goal. Crosby scored his first of the series 12 seconds into the third period and Hossa followed center Jordan Staal's goal at 1:30 with a power-play score at 8:55.
The Penguins were only 1 for 8 on the power play, but Hossa's advantage goal may have sealed the playoff fate of his former club.
"I know most of those guys, and they're going to want to win another game at home," Hossa said. "It's going to be crucial. ... We have to be ready."

I was thrilled to be at the American Folklore Theatre's performance of "Strings Attached" last Monday. I recommend this one and it was a joy to hear their good voices again.
There is something so comforting about that theater in the woods. I especially loved Doc Heide's song "Goodnight My Boy, Goodnight" and it still echoes in my head. I sang it to grandson No. 1 as he went to bed (not sure a 10-year-old appreciated that). He did really like the play, however, and was laughing out loud several times.
We forgot to stop for popcorn as he reminded us on the way out. Where does that age put all the food? I also enjoyed local hearing Chad Luberger of Egg Harbor sing again. Potter by day, and performer by night, Chad and the rest of the cast were great.
To market
The Settlement Farmers Market is going strong now, from 9:30 a.m. each Wednesday until 1:30 p.m. or sellout. This week Patsy Stierna, a Sturgeon Bay potter, will be on hand with her pottery and also a potter's wheel.
The public is invited to take a potting lesson from her on her wheel. It's a great opportunity to try your hand at throwing clay on a potter's wheel, with direction from Patsy and her assistant. Lunch is available at the Market, on Wednesdays as Sweetie Pies, known for its delicious pies, offers a variety of homemade quiche for lunch.
From the Gibraltar Historical Association comes news that their new bricks are in place on the central walk, the anchor is in place and landscape in process and the gardens being manicured.
Just around the corner will be our lovely Style Show featuring "A Glimpse of Old Fish Creek." Enjoy a cherry dessert and coffee while taking in the fashions of days gone by from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. June 28. RSVP soon; we have limited space.

Keio University demonstrates 3-Axis Analog Joystick For Touchscreen Devices
This elastic device converts the camera of your smartphone into a fully functional 3-axis analog joystick. It is under development by a research group at Keio University.
"The way this system works is very simple. There are small markers in this elastic device and the markers are detected by this built-in front-facing mobile phone camera. By tracking how the markers move as the elastic device deforms, this system enables a variety of inputs."
"The camera is detecting the markers right now. When you press the device, like this, the markers move further apart, or they move horizontally or vertically, or they get skewed. So you can give the system a variety of inputs."
Using this input method on a touchscreen device enables games to be played with a joystick without obstructing a part of the screen. It also compensates for other disadvantages of touchscreen gaming such as the lack of tactile feedback and the screen getting oily.
"For example, if the rear camera is used with this elastic device, there's no need to block the screen with your fingers. So we think this could be used to browse maps with the view kept wide."
"Basically, the system's precision depends on hardware factors, like the camera resolution and refresh rate. The measurement method used is GelForce, which was developed by Professor Tachi's group at Keio in 2003. We already know the precision of GelForce is quite high. So we think the measurement precision could be similarly high."

Friday, February 24, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — Kenyan Conner had been waiting the first three weeks of the season for his hitters to step up in the clutch.
On Thursday, Albany State's bats finally came alive.
The Rams, who had trouble finding hits with runners in scoring position in their first 11 games, racked up one key hit after another in their 11-6 trouncing of Georgia Southwestern.
"They didn't miss their pitch (Thursday). When they got their pitch, they hit it," said Conner, whose Rams hadn't defeated GSW since May 30, 2005. "We really haven't had a problem hitting the ball. We've just had a problem hitting the ball with runners in scoring position. We have been leaving 13, 15, 16 guys on base, and I thought we had a little more timely hitting (Thursday). It was a better clutch hitting effort."
The Rams scored in each of the first six innings and never trailed after pouring in three runs in the top of the first.
ASU improved to 4-8 and has won three of its past five games, while GSW lost its ninth game in a row and fell to 1-10 overall — an uncharacteristic start for a program that finished well over .500 the past two seasons.
The Hurricanes' pitching staff just had no answer for an ASU lineup that put the bat on the ball from the top of the order to the bottom. Former Westover star and first baseman Jacob Campbell led the way with three hits, including an RBI double in the second inning.
"I was seeing the ball pretty good," Campbell said. "We are all starting to click. At the beginning of the year we had no timely hitting. One hit here and there isn't going to do it. You need to hit in cycles and move runners over, and we are doing that now."
The Rams began the game with three runs in the first inning and scored two runs in each of the next four innings before adding one more in the sixth.
Rickey Harris belted a lead-off home run in the fourth inning, which brought GSW coach Bryan McLain out of the dugout for a heated discussion with the home plate umpire about whether or not Harris' bat was legal.
McLain didn't want to comment on the argument, which lasted a couple of minutes.
Conner said the bat was legal and merely resembled a bat that had recently been outlawed by the NCAA.
"I think that would have been gone no matter what he was using," Campbell said.
That's just how far Harris' shot to left-center was, and that's just how well the Rams were hitting it Thursday afternoon.
No one appreciated ASU's offensive explosion more than Rams starting pitcher Ken Nesbitt, who threw five innings and allowed five hits and four runs to pick up his second win of the season.
"It makes you relax," Nesbitt said. "You have no choice but to relax when you have runs on the board. You pitch to the mitt more and let them get themselves out, instead of pitching around and making them dance."
Nesbitt was relieved by Clifford Peterson to start the sixth inning, and Peterson pitched three innings and allowed two runs and three hits.
Reigning conference Player of the Year William Smalls was 2-for-4 with an RBI and three runs, and Bainbridge native Stephen Lightfoot was 1-for-3 with a two-run single in the first inning.
GSW, which has had trouble at the plate during its losing streak, scored two runs in the first, third and sixth innings, but it wasn't enough to save starter Ryan Mosely, who lasted just 1 2/3 innings.
"We are struggling confidence-wise a little bit and trying to do too much," said McLain, whose Hurricanes will host the Rams on March 14 in Americus. "Sometimes when you get into a slump like we are right now, you try to do things out of character to try to do something different."
GSW first baseman Andrew Archer hit a two-run homer in the third inning, and Hurricane centerfielder Michel Coffey was 1-for-3 with two RBI and two runs.

With pink champagne and Sailability balloons, Paralympian and Team Volvo for life sailor Helena Lucas joined the RYA Sailability team to officially launch the new Team Sailability Volunteer logbooks at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show yesterday (06 March).
Sailability logbook launch at RYA Volvo Dinghy Show
The logbooks are part of the new Team Sailability pilot scheme which aims to support volunteers in developing the skills they need to give sailors a consistently positive experience. Volunteers are able to record their personal progression in their logbooks completing four certificate levels; bronze, silver gold and platinum.
RYA Sailability Manager Debbie Blachford explains: 'It has been brilliant to have Helena's support for the Sailability Volunteer Logbook. Volunteers are at the heart of Sailability and we hope the logbook will provide them with a clear understanding of the skills needed to be effective and will enable everyone, whatever their role to progress in the Sailability environment.'
Helena commented: 'I think the Volunteer logbooks are an absolutely fantastic idea. I would not have got to where I am today without the help of all the volunteers so it is great to have a system which will record and acknowledge all of their hard work and achievements.'
There was also another very important RYA Sailability announcement at the show yesterday when Paralympic sailor, Skandia Team GBR's Megan Pascoe picked out the winning ticket from hundreds of entries in the Sailability raffle.
Megan drew a ticket belonging to lucky visitor Ivor Cohen who took home a 'just sail' kit courtesy of Crewsaver, Henry Lloyd, Harken and the RYA filled with goodies worth over £1,000 including a Crewsaver dry kit and a Henri Lloyd sailing bag.
Sailability Chair Pat Dodd thanked visitors for visiting the Sailability Marina, buying a ticket and supporting Sailability. Megan Pascoe added 'Sailability supports a lot of class associations who could not have afforded to be at the show. Sailability builds a community for disabled sailors which brings everyone together and it is great for visitors of the show to see how it all works and how they can get involved.'
To find out more information about Sailability including the Volunteer Logbook visit the RYA website and click on the Sailability link at the bottom of the home page.

As it stands this is very nice dvd, with very good performances, by very lovely performers. Girls are hot, and the sex usually is as well. Me likey.

My KDL Story: Daniel Deindorfer
"Ruff Readers is a great opportunity for young readers to blossom to their greatest potential..."
Daniel Deindorfer was not yet in kindergarten when he and his mom visited the Cascade Township branch and saw the dogs. More specifically, dogs lounging on blankets in quiet corners of the library, seemingly all-ears as they were being read to by children.
One look at that, said Stephanie Deindorfer-Tomaszek, and dog-lover Daniel was in. The summers of 2006 and 2007, Daniel was signed up every chance he could to read to West Michigan Therapy Dogs through the Ruff Readers programs at the Cascade and Englehardt branches.
So intent was Daniel on the task, Stephanie said, he would "screen" books ahead of time to determine whether they would be suitable for his lap-loving listeners.
"I thought maybe the dogs would like dog kinds of books," recalled Daniel, whose selections included the Clifford series and books such as Stanley's Wild Ride. He has continued the practice at home with his shepherd-husky mix, Mackie Doodle.
Today, Daniel's mom credits Ruff Readers with the almost-13-year-old's (emphasis his) "language arts accomplishments." He's enrolled in the middle-school version of honors English, participates in Odyssey of the Mind and, according to his mom, can research and prepare presentations like nobody's business.
"When he entered kindergarten his teacher was like, 'Holy mackerel,'" she recalled. "Ruff Readers is a great opportunity for young readers to blossom to their greatest potential."
