Brickworld 2010 wrap-up, it was crazy awesome
Brickworld took place in Chicago last weekend with an unprecedented gathering of 800 attendees displaying Lego creations across 30,000 square feet in the Westin Hotel & Convention Center. It took me three days to get myself back together after the post-con crash and sorting out my haul, so without further ado, here's my wrap-up of the event.
The above picture taken by Alex Eylar best describes my thoughts about this year's Brickworld in two words: crazy awesome. (Alternatively it can also be described as epic by David Pagano's video)
First, there were the crazy awesome creations. In addition to the returning classics such as Arthur Gugick's microscale landmarks, NILTC's train/city display, and the Great Ball Contraption, there were plenty of new creations that each made quite an entrance. Among the many were Adam Reed Tucker's roller coaster, the Vic-Viper Memorial Fly-In, Matt De Lanoy's Futurama display, and the insane Monster Chess. With between 5,000 – 10,000 creations, you'll need to browse the Brickworld Flickr group for a glimpse of all that was there.
The second half that made up the con was the crazy awesome people. I won't make a list, because there's bound to be those that I missed among such a large crowd. Some went to the LEGOLAND Discovery Center (and struck questionable poses), a few dined at the same restaurant for 4 straight meals, and others went head-to-head in the Esther Walner Memorial Charity Auction that raised an astounding $12,000. When it came to public hours, there was quite a line, and I'm guessing that we had upwards of 10,000 visitors. Speaking of crowd control, get a load of the action that went on during the special sales at the Lego store. There were plenty of 50% off sets to go around this time, making most people happy with their acquisitions.
Needless to say, Brickworld was nothing short of being crazy awesome as it has been and will continue to be. But before I finish my wrap-up, I leave you with the tentative themes for next year and 2012. The theme for 2011 will most likely be "Five," celebrating the 5th year of Brickworld. For 2012, we have our eyes set on "The End of the World."
Futurama's New New York welcomes you!
Matt De Lanoy (Pepa Quin) presents the world of Futurama with his New New York layout that features many iconic buildings from the cartoon. Creation of the display spanned two years, which you may even remember our post of the Planet Express in 2008. The full layout measures almost 5'X7′ and there's tons of details worth checking out, including Matt getting his head in the gutter.
You can see all photos and detail shots in Matt's Futurama collection on Flickr. Oh, and don't forget that new episodes air tonight on Comedy Central!

Getting down and dirty with Battle Mole.
Drew blames his girlfriend for this one. Here's hoping that she makes him build more cool stuff. Listen to her, Drew, do what she says!
The expression on this mole's face is adorable. His battle armor makes you wish you never mentioned the word "adorable" anywhere near him….
Let me lay it out for you, in Black and White.
Kevin Fedde has built himself some awesome roadsters. Makes me want to hop in one and go for a cruise. The classic lines are beautiful. The gangster owners are not. But don't tell them I said that, okay? I have enough problems without mini gangsters gunning for me.
A Rose Pool by any other name....
This shapely pool, by Katie Walker, is incredibly elegant. I would love to have that built for real, in full scale. This builder, though new on the LEGO scene, is definitely showing us how it's done, eh?
Wash cold with like colors.
Let's all learn from our good knight's example–remember to separate your light colored clothing from the darker colored clothing, less your pristine white uniform end up a lovely shade of pink:
Matthew Hurt does an excellent job of illustrating the frustrating problem of discovering one's pink laundry! On a side note, I do like the simplicity of the vig. The mockery of one knight to another makes it all the better.

Alabama football coach Nick Saban instructs defensive backs Deion Belue (13) and Geno Smith.
- Filed Under
Alabama safety HaHa Clinton-Dix never figured he and his teammates in the defensive backfield would rate so much of the head coach's time.
When he attended his first team meeting as a freshman, Tide head coach Nick Saban was there, of course. But when the players broke into meeting with their position coaches, Saban was there, too, along with Tide secondary coach Jeremy Pruitt. And when the defensive backs went on the field for practice, Saban remained with them.
When asked if Clinton-Dix knew it would be like this, he said, "I had no clue." ...

are theses machines good
------All the best, Gail
The 1008 is an excellent, basic mechanical machine.
Yep I agree with Karen. I think the gal who won best of show in the Houston Quilt Showade it on one!
------Bernina Gal
Not quite as many bells and whistles as the vintage 1030, though.No knee lift, for instance.
It can be used with all of the Red boxed/Old Style feet-- so there's 50--60 to choose from. (The Bernina electronic machines use White Boxed/New Style feet, which are not interchangeable. Unless you plan to share, this shouldn't be a problem.
The buttonhole is manual (6 step), not automatic. There's no pressure adjustment for the presser foot. The needle can't be programmed to embed it self in the fabric when you take your foot off the foot pedal.
However, if you consider all those extra features to be overrated novelties, it's a durable, well made, "basic machine"-- not a plasticy beginner's sewing machine.
I have a 330, but then again, I prefer electronics.
------Bernina B330
Feet: 1,2,3,3A,4,5,7,8,10,13,16,18,20, 29,32,35,37,50,64,70,71,82,85,86, 92
Yes it is a very nice basic machine. No bells or whistles. But has great stitch quality and is quiet and easy to use very sturdy.
------Bernina 790, 635E, Juki 2010
Babylock Evolve, Bernina 1100DA
One other thing-- the 1008 has no needle threader. Semi automatic needle threaders are an acquired taste, though.
I was going to say, it's a nice machine, but a 1030 is definitely better. Knee lift, long stitch function (for up to 10mm long stitches-great for basting).
------🌸 Plenty of machines, mostly Berninas 🌸
just read your bio.40 years, and a singer 403A. Do you have a particular purpose in mind for this machine?

|Maternal Hypothyroxinemia During Pregnancy and Growth of the Fetal and Infant Head.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22878528 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Severe maternal thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy affects fetal brain growth and corticogenesis. This study focused on the effect of maternal hypothyroxinemia during early pregnancy on growth of the fetal and infant head. In a population-based birth cohort, we assessed thyroid status in early pregnancy (median 13.4, 90% range 10.8-17.2), in 4894 women, and measured the prenatal and postnatal head size of their children at 5 time points. Hypothyroxinemia was defined as normal thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and free thyroxine-4 concentrations below the 10th percentile. Statistical analysis was performed using linear generalized estimating equation. Maternal hypothyroxinemia was associated with larger fetal and infant head size (overall estimate β: 1.38, 95% confidence interval 0.56; 2.19, P = .001). In conclusion, in the general population, even small variations in maternal thyroid function during pregnancy may affect the developing head of the young child.

Hi Carl,I just wanted to say a big thank you for the help you gave me getting set up and running with my new system.
Even though I am experienced in Internet Marketing it is always a bit daunting finding your feet in a new system, you made it easy.
I am happy to say I have just made my first sale on the SFM and was surprised how quick this was following our conversations.
To anyone thinking of joining Carl I can say that based on my experience with him I would thoroughly recommend him.
He is a gentleman and a great marketer.
David Huntley
WOW! Carl Ashton is a top bloke when it comes to Internet Marketing, he's one of those people who actually know's what he's on about.
He has helped me so much on the road to building my own online business. We have regular skype calls, to see how I'm getting on, and to help me on my next steps. He does that with all his students because he is one of those marketers that wants to help others make it too. I can't thank him enough, just for that.
He also gives me so much support and best of all VALUE. I really would recommend him to anyone looking to start their own home based business, or even just looking to get their business to the next level.
Everyone needs a mentor, especially one like Carl. Thanks alot Carl.
Will Schjerve
Hi, my name is Colston Hughes.
When I first decided to start my own online business I really did have no idea where to begin.
I was no computer wiz kid and did not have any clue as to how I was going to market my business, I decided that the best thing for me to do would be to find somebody that is already successful and get them to coach me.
After doing a lot of research on the internet a came across this guy called Carl Ashton i liked his web site and what he was saying so much I got in touch with him right there and then.
Carl was very polite and friendly and showed a lot of interest in me and my business, he asked a lot of questions such as why do I want to start my own business and what are the main areas that I need help with, he then arranged to meet me to discuss how he could help me.
Going to that meeting was to become one of the best decisions I have ever made, Carl Ashton is a truly inspirational coach, his ideas, tips and suggestions were second to none and very instrumental in getting my business up and running.
Coaching with carl didn't stop there he is a guy who passionately believes in what he does, he makes sure that you fully understand what he is showing you and keeps in close contact to check on how your business is doing and whether you require any extra help, Carl is not the sort of guy who is going to leave you in the lurch.
I believe Carl Ashton to be one of the most thoughtful, honest and sincere business person I have ever come across and I am truly grateful for all the help and advice he has given me.
So if your looking for an Online Business coach I can honestly say give Carl Ashton a call you will be glad you did, I certainly was.

Ohio State Spring Football Set to Kick Off
March 4, 2013
COLUMBUS, Ohio - And just like that: spring football is upon us. The earliest documented start for spring football in Ohio State history - prompted by the university's academic calendar change this year from the quarter system to semesters - will be Tuesday, March 5 when second year coach Urban Meyer will lead his squad onto the field for the first of 14 practices leading up to the spring game April 13 at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.
The start is also one of the earliest for a Meyer-coached team, but it can't come quickly enough. It will have been 103 days since the Buckeyes last practiced - Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27 to be exact - when the team opens its spring drills on Tuesday. The Buckeyes will practice two days later on March 7 before taking a spring break week with practices resuming March 19.
51 Lettermen Return
Of concern entering spring is the fact that seven defensive starters must be replaced, including the entire starting front four - John Simon, Johnathan Hankins, Nathan Williams and Garrett Goebel - and only one linebacker returns who has significant game reps: junior Ryan Shazier.
Add in the fact a punter must be found, 47 of the 82 scholarship players this fall will be either freshmen or sophomores, the team didn't have the typical bowl-game practice/learning opportunities after the season and the defense is young (just four seniors total), and it's easy to surmise the coaches have their work cut out for them during these 15 days on the practice field:
Plenty of Offensive Optimism
Backup quarterback Kenny Guiton is now a schooled, experienced veteran and a coaches' delight. He played in nine games last year and directed or finished off a touchdown drive in eight of his 15 series, including the now-legendary seven-play, 66-yard drive in the final 47 seconds of the Purdue game.
Four senior starters return on the offensive line. Averaging 6-5 and 308 pounds, this unit helped pave the way for the Buckeyes to rank 10th in the nation with 242.2 rushing yards per game while scoring a 34-year Ohio State high 37 rushing touchdowns. Boasting a combined 80 cumulative starts on the line, the group features LT Jack Mewhort, LG Andrew Norwell, C Corey Linsley and RG Marcus Hall.
Speaking of power, running back Carlos Hyde is a big, fast and physical performer who rushed for 970 yards and scored 16 touchdowns in less than 10 games last year. His five career 100-yard games are highlighted by a 140-yard, four touchdown effort in the win over Nebraska last year. He will be backed by fourth-year player Rod Smith and sophomore Bri'onte Dunn.
Senior receiver Corey Brown and fifth-year senior running back/receiver (H-back) Jordan Hall headline a skilled group of throw-to performers that also includes juniors Devin Smith and Evan Spencer, senior Chris Fields and sophomore Michael Thomas.
Brown emerged not only as a reliable target last year with 60 catches and 5.0 receptions per game (fourth in the Big Ten), but a big-play maker as well. He scored five touchdowns, including on a 76-yard punt return vs. Nebraska, a second- and third-effort 37-yard reception vs. Illinois, and a 68-yard punt return vs. Wisconsin. His 12 receptions vs. Michigan State: merely the fourth-most in a game in school history and just two off the school record.
Misfortune - a cut foot in the summer and an injured knee in his third game - thwarted Hall's initial senior season, one that had him serving as one of five team captains. A red-shirt season ensued and Hall is expected to shine in the dual purpose H-back role. He has 1,032 career rushing yards (and six touchdowns) and 24 receptions for 233 yards and four more touchdowns entering 2013. His 2,765 career all-purpose yards lead all current Buckeyes and rank 20th at Ohio State.
Smith, one of the fastest guys on the team, has scored 10 receiving touchdowns so far, including three over 60 yards in 2012 - 72 vs. Cal; 63 vs. Michigan State; 60 vs. Indiana) - and he averages a 39.3 yards per touchdown catch.
Spencer was fourth on the team with 12 catches for 136 yards last year, and Fields didn't let four idle games affect his play: he expertly cradled and caught the touchdown pass from Kenny Guiton with three seconds to play to put the Buckeyes in a position to tie Purdue (and later win). Thomas played in 11 games as a true freshman.
Two fine third-year players - Jeff Heuerman and Nick Vannett - have 11 combined starts at the tight end position and both are dependable, high-performing players on the line and on the receiving end (18 combined catches).
Just 4 Seniors on Defense
Roby earned first-team All-America honors last year by ESPN.com after leading the nation in passes defensed (1.73 per game) with a school record-tying 17 pass break-ups. This big play maker also scored touchdowns three different ways: an interception return vs. Nebraska; off a fumbled punt vs. Miami; and off a blocked punt return vs. Indiana.
Barnett and Bryant each return for a third season as a starter at safety. Barnett has made 26 starts and was honorable mention all-Big Ten in 2012 after recording eight passes defended in nine games. Bryant, second-team all-Big Ten in 2012, was second on the team in both tackles (70) and solo tackles (36), and he ranked sixth in the conference with 13 passes defended and 1.08 per game.
Shazier, arguably, was the top linebacker in the Big Ten at season's end. The junior was among the conference's Top 10 in five categories, including leading the league with 17 tackles-for-loss, ranking second with 115 tackles and eighth with 12 passes defended. He was named first-team all-Big Ten.
That's it for the returning starters on defense.
The Four on the Floor...and More
Linebacker depth was a concern last year and three of the six linebackers on the two-deep for the Michigan game are gone, including starters Zach Boren and Etienne Sabino. Junior Curtis Grant will, for a second consecutive spring, seek to occupy and hold the middle linebacker position while a starter outside and opposite Shazier has to emerge with sophomore Josh Perry the only player among a handful of sophomores with any real game action along the line of scrimmage. He was in on 48 defensive snaps last year while three others - Camren Williams, David Perkins and Jamal Marcus - were season-long special teamers.
The secondary, secure in the fact that Roby, Barnett and Bryant have 68 combined starts among them along with 57 pass break-ups and 10 interceptions, also returns a key, two-year reserve at cornerback in junior Doran Grant, the leading contender to move into departed all-conference performer Travis Howard's cornerback position. Grant has played in all 25 games the past seasons and started last year vs. UAB when Roby was injured.
A plethora of underclassmen who contributed on special teams last year - junior Adam Griffin and sophomores Najee Murray and Armani Reeves at cornerback, and junior Ron Tanner and sophomore Devan Bogard at safety - return and will make the competition in the secondary quite spirited.
Senior safety Corey Brown, a veteran of 33 games, saw extensive action as a nickel back last season and should be a key contributor again in the secondary. Senior safety Jamie Wood has played in 30 games and will attempt a comeback after a shoulder issue ended his 2012 season after four games.
Coombs to Forge Special Forces
Key specialists include punt returner Corey Brown, who ranked 16th nationally with a 12.2 average last year, including two big touchdown returns. Kicker Drew Basil didn't have many opportunities last season - he was 8 of 11 in field goals - as the team scored the sixth-most touchdowns in school history (57). He is entering his fourth year as a starting kicker, though, and he is 24 of 32 in field goals for his career with a long of 52 yards.
A punter will need to emerge, but holder Kenny Guiton and both long snappers - George Makridis and Bryce Haynes - do return.

Local Safe Routes to School programs would get an unprecedented financial boost in Sonoma County if a proposed $10 vehicle registration fee makes it to the ballot and is passed by voters.
Safe Routes, a national program to encourage and educate students to walk and cycle to school, could pull in $15 million over the 20-year life of the fee if put on the ballot and passed.
The program, most often linked with International Walk and Roll to School Day and bicycle rodeos, is already being implemented via various state and federal grant funds in cities and school districts across Sonoma County.
About $45,000 a year from the Measure M quarter-cent sales tax passed by Sonoma County voters in 2004 is already directed to Safe Routes to School.
The city of Santa Rosa is operating a Safe Routes program with a $250,000 federal grant.
Sebastopol is working in conjunction with the school district there through the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition to implement education programs and infrastructure upgrades with a three-year $250,000 grant.
A $500,000 federal grant was awarded in 2008 to the Sonoma County Department of Health Services who contracted with the bicycle coalition to work with schools in the Roseland and Bellevue districts on bike and pedestrian safety.
The grant recently paid for a mobile speed trailer.
Sebastopol schools have instituted walk and roll Wednesdays and give out prizes to students and classes that have the highest percentage of participants, said superintendent Liz Schott.
Presentations have also been made in classes to teach students road awareness and link transportation choices to environmental impacts.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Travis Hafner and Victor Martinez singled home runs with two out in the 11th inning and the Cleveland Indians rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
The Indians, who scored a run in the ninth to send the game into extra innings, remained 2 1/2 games ahead of the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central. The Tigers beat the Yankees 5-4.
Hafner's single off John Bale, the sixth Royals pitcher, scored Franklin Gutierrez, who led off the inning with a walk and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Grady Sizemore, who was hit by a Bale pitch, scored the second run of the inning on a Martinez single.
Joel Peralta (1-3), the fifth Royals pitcher, walked Gutierrez and was charged with the loss.
Rafael Betancourt (3-0), who threw 18 strikes out of 22 pitches, struck out three in two perfect innings to pick up the victory. Joe Boroswki got his 37th save in 42 chances.
The Indians were down to their final out in the ninth when Sizemore doubled off Royals rookie closer Joakim Soria. Asdrubal Cabrera followed with a single to center to score Sizemore. Soria was charged with his fourth blown save in 18 opportunities. His previous blown save was May 20 at Colorado.
The Indians finished a nine-game road trip at 5-4, and travel home to start a seven-game homestand Monday.
Emil Brown drove in two runs and scored the other for the Royals.
Indians right-hander Fausto Carmona allowed three runs and 10 hits in six innings. Carmona is 2-4 in his past seven starts, despite a 2.29 ERA. The Indians have scored 11 runs in that span.
Royals right-hander Gil Meche held the Indians to two runs and seven hits over six innings, while striking out four and walking two. Meche, who the Royals signed to a five-year $55 million contract in December, is 0-5 in his past seven starts since a July 20 victory at Detroit.
Brown, who went 4-for-4 on Saturday, singled to center in the sixth to score David DeJesus and Ross Gload, who began the inning with singles. Brown took second on Jason Smith's ground out and scored on Shane Costa's two-out single.
Casey Blake, who entered the game hitting just .232 in the second half of the season, stroked a two-out run-producing single in the second for the first Cleveland run. Blake's single to center scored Ryan Garko, who led off the inning with a single, took second on a Kenny Lofton walk and went to took third on Franklin Gutierrez's fielder's choice ground out.
Alex Gordon's first error in 44 games and the Royals' first in 10 games led to an Indians' run in the fifth. Blake led off the inning with an infield single and moved to second on Gordon's throwing error. Blake stopped at third on Sizemore's infield single and scored when Cabrera grounded into a double play. ^Notes: C John Buck was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning, bringing the Royals' total to 76, which leads the majors and ties the club record set in 2004. ... DH Mike Sweeney struck out in his only two at-bats Sunday with Omaha, the Royals' Triple-A affiliate, against Round Rock. Sweeney is 2-for-8 in three rehab games with Omaha.

I have been quite impressed with the helmet so far and have but a few gripes. Lets start with the negatives. The visor isn't very durable. I broke the first ride out. I am pretty sure it was in the get off I had but can't be for sure as I was too preoccupied digging cactus out of my hand for the rest of the ride. It is still holding onto the helmet it is just cracked. Next and this is super minor and won't apply to most but the helmet seems to set against my head behind my ear, ever so slightly. I don't notice this at first but after I have had the helmet on for 6+ hours it starts to hurt a little. Now the positive and the reason we are all looking at these helmets. The ODS works great!!! I came off a rock ledge wrong and somehow managed to head-butt a tree (no additional damage to the visor /shrug, maybe I missed it as I hit with the top of the helmet). While I did hit hard enough to ring my bell, I was only disoriented for a moment, shook it off, and continued on. No headaches later, No damage to the helmet, just a moment of stars. DID I MENTION NO HEADACHE LATER!!! This was the only hard impact I have had in the helmet the rest of the hits have been grazers off of branches (shell is holding up very well). The reason I bought this helmet was for the ODS and I can say that I am quite pleased with it!! This is a very comfortable helmet! Another thing, the venting on this helmet is exceptional, very pleased with this, the helmet does seem to gather quite a bit of dirt/mud/branches inside of it, but can be very easily cleaned out. Would/will purchase again, it was quite the investment but well worth it. Note: using with a Leatt Neck Brace and the two seem to go very well together.Read All Reviews

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) -- Officials with a salt museum in Hutchinson admit attendance hasn't been as high as expected but they say they are always looking for new ways to draw people in.
The museum, called Strataca, has averaged about 55,000 visitors a year since it opened in May 2007. Director of Operations Gayle Farrell says annual attendance has not been increasing as much as museum officials hoped, but specific events are popular.
The Hutchinson News reports the museum has been out of debt since early 2011. The only outside support it receives is 5 percent of a local quarter-percent sales tax, which is about $100,000 per year.

Katrina and John keeping a safe distanceSat, Jun 20, 2009 21:00 IST
Wary of sparking the rumours again, Katrina Kaif and John Abraham are keeping a safe distance while promoting their film New York together.
At the press conference held to promote the film a few days back, it was a strange sight to see Irrfan Khan and Neil Nitin Mukesh rubbing their shoulders with Katrina, while John, who's the film's leading man, stuck mostly around director Kabir Khan .
Only once or twice was there an actual verbal exchange between John and Kat at the event.
According to a source, it's not that a cold war is brewing between the two stars. They are behaving cautiously because they don't want to spark the rumours of their romance again.
A few weeks back, tinsel town was blitzed by the gossip of a possible romance brewing between the two after it was found that Kat had exchanged many SMSes with John during the filming of 'New York'.
Today, looking back, she thinks the long chats and exchange of messages with John was a mistake.
"It was a mistake and sometimes mistakes can happen. But this particular issue was blown out of proportion. It was like this Chinese whisper, which went on and on," Katrina is quoted as saying in a media report.
Anyway, Kat has already admitted that John never became the kind of friend she would have wanted to keep in touch with after the shooting was over.
'New York' is set to release on June 26. John, Kat and the other stars will continue to promote the film until its release. Watch out for their chemistry (of the lack of it) at the promotional events till then.

6) Livingston Avenue Bridge Rehabilitation and Waterfront Master Planning
This project will preserve a critical link in the State and national rail system. It will accomplish this in a manner that allows consideration of a future upgrade of the bridge to accommodate pedestrians and a major intercity initiative for waterfront revitalization.
The Livingston Avenue Bridge is a critical link in New York's rail infrastructure and Amtrak's national rail passenger network. It connects New York City and New England with Buffalo, Chicago and the western United States. The viability of this structure is therefore essential to providing passenger rail service within the State.
This initiative also supports the City of Albany's desire to re-establish the historic link between downtown Albany and the Hudson River. Unfortunately, the City's Central Business District (CBD) and adjacent downtown neighborhoods are virtually isolated from the riverfront by the interstate arterial system (I-787), constructed during the mid-1960's. While the interstate highway offers a substantial transportation value to the Capital Region, it greatly limits access to the Hudson River, Corning Preserve (an 18 acre riverfront park), and the Hudson/Mohawk five mile recreational trail--a component of the Hudson River Greenway Trail.
The City of Rensselaer is engaged in a number of waterfront projects. The Waterfront Plan was last updated in the 1980's and it is time for another comprehensive look at port-related industrial development, recreation, and other economic development along Rensselaer's greatest asset.
Connecting Albany and Rensselaer across the River for foot traffic will be a significant step in integrating the two waterfronts.
The Livingston Avenue Bridge crosses the Hudson River and connects the Rensselaer Amtrak station to Albany and points west. It was originally constructed in 1866 and the superstructure was replaced in 1901. The bridge is a "swing" bridge that pivots to allow ships to pass--a design which is not commonly used any longer. The bridge is staffed 24 hours a day by an operator who opens and closes the bridge and coordinates train movements between the Station and West Albany yard. CP Rail and CSXT operate freight trains over this bridge, but the freight volume in general is dwarfed by Amtrak passenger train volumes.
The major investment required to rehabilitate the bridge also provides an opportunity to provide a pedestrian river crossing. The Cities of Albany and Rensselaer have developed a plan for a 2.5 mile riverwalk in which the rail bridge plays a critical role. Along with the rehabilitation phase, master planning and adaptive reuse studies are needed for the feasibility and design analysis of the north-end district and appropriate Rensselaer parcels to support transportation-oriented development.
The rehabilitation of the Livingston Avenue Bridge for high speed rail is estimated to cost $15 million. Project funding has been secured through an agreement between the New York State Department of Transportation, using CMAQ funds, and Amtrak.
Waterfront master planning efforts - a crucial element required to meet the economic development goals for the REVEST initiative - are estimated at $500,000. The pedestrian project would be eligible for the federal Transportation Enhancement Program. Aspects of the waterfront revitalization are part of a current Transportation Enhancement Project that the City of Albany has applied for. This project ranked second out of thirty-four in the Capital District (ranked by CDTC). In addition, several Hudson River Regional projects have been funded by NYS. These include a $70,000 cooperative project of the Capital District Hudson River municipalities to identify regionwide projects for a Waterfront Vision, a $95,500 North Waterfront Park planning study for the northern portion of Albany's Hudson River Park and an update of the Port of Albany's Master Plan and Development Study ($80,000).
The Department of Transportation commissioned an in-depth inspection of the structure in 1998 that found the bridge to be in fairly sound condition. Based on the results of this inspection, it was determined that replacement alternative, estimated at $50 million was not an appropriate course of action. Amtrak staff are preparing a preliminary design for a rehabilitation project which will address only the railroad needs for the structure. Following completion of the preliminary design, the project will require one year of final design, leading to a two year construction period.
The Cities of Albany and Rensselaer have contac- ted both Amtrak (as the primary operator over the bridge) and CSX Transportation (as the bridge owner) regarding pedestrian use of the bridge. Amtrak noted the challenges inherent in the project, while CSX expressed opposition to placing pedestrians and trains in such close proximity. These issues still remain and must be resolved.

To the outside world, the Caribbean is generally thought of as a tax haven, with low or no taxes. While this is true of some jurisdictions, many others have quite high tax rates. In addition, non-residents looking to buy property will often need to obtain a permit – an Alien Landholder's Licence – to allow them to make the purchase. Government fees charged for such licences are generally based on the value of the property being purchased, and can amount to as much as 10% of the cost.
Similarly, most Caribbean countries impose a transfer tax or stamp duty on property purchases, often on both the buyer and seller. Tax rates can be as high as 10% of the price.
Another feature of many jurisdictions is the International Business Corporation (IBCs). These are "offshore" companies that are incorporated under local laws but have a guarantee of exemption from tax for, typically, a minimum of twenty years. Features of the IBC regime commonly include a prohibition on trading within the country of incorporation, an option to pay some tax on corporate income so that tax treaties can be used to shelter profits and privacy as to shareholders, company officers, etc.
Most countries in the Leeward and Windward Isles are members of the Caribbean Common Market (Caricom). Caricom operates a consistent external level of import duties and tariffs, but there are still duties charged in respect of imports/exports of locally produced goods from one country to another. The Caricom treaty also provides for double taxation relief for income and corporate taxes and sets maximum rates of withholding taxes on interest payments, dividends and royalties.
Many jurisdictions have fiscal incentives to encourage inward investment, especially in the hotel and tourism sector, and also for manufacturing. Local legislation may also allow the government to agree specific concessions for particular projects, such as waiving import duties for plant needed for constructing hotels, waiving or reducing stamp duty and alien landholders' licence fees, and so on.

Bill introduced to abolish presidential term limits
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 03/28/2013 @ 11:23 pm In Politics | No Comments
(Daily Caller) New York Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano reintroduced a bill in Congress on Friday to repeal the 22nd Amendment, which places term limits on the U.S. presidency.
The bill, which has been referred to committee, would allow Barack President Obama to become the first president since Franklin Roosevelt to seek a third term in office.
H.J. Res. 15 proposes "an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President."

text: India Students Invent Anti-Rape Lingerie It's electrified, will shock assailants and notify authorities By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Apr 3, 2013 2:34 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (58) (Newser) – Now this is an ingenious invention: Indian engineering students have come up with anti-rape lingerie. It's not only electrified and can shock a person as many as 82 times; it is also equipped with communications software so it can alert authorities, and GPS so authorities can locate the victim, reports Raw Story via the Times of India. Thanks to an electric shock circuit board, located near the breasts, "the lingerie ... is capable of sending shock waves of 3,800 kV," says one of the developers. "A person trying to molest a girl will get the shock of his life the moment pressure sensors get activated," she adds. Developers, who wanted to do something to combat India's brutal rapes, call the underwear "Society Harnessing Equipment." Now they just have to figure out what type of fabric to use, so the underwear can be washed. File image; not the electrified kind.

Holding two offers from North Carolina State and East Carolina, Garner, N.C., running back Josh Oglesby headed to Blacksburg last weekend in hopes of earning an offer from the Hokies. The 5-foot-11, 205-pounder had a tremendous weekend by doing just that and now is hoping to make a decision in the near future.
"It was a great trip," he stated. "It only took us about two hours to get there. When I arrived I met Billy Hite and my recruiter coach O'Cain. Once I talked to them for a bit, they measured me and had me do a mini-combine. I ran a 4.3-second shuttle and a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. Then I participated in a series of drills with coach Hite emphasizing getting extra yardage which is right down my alley. I also participated in some defensive drills because everyone had to. After all that, I did one-on-ones and then coach O'Cain pulled me aside and told me he wanted to talk.
"At that time, he told me that they have a scholarship for me. My dad, mom and I then talked to Frank Beamer who officially offered. I was thrilled to get it. I didn't think I would get an offer from a team like them this early especially since I played out of position last year, but they saw me in person and like and respect what I can do. Coach Hite particularly told me that he liked the fact I have speed and size. He also said my film shows I have good hands and I run hard." ...More...

Not Everyone Thinks No Mail On Saturdays Is A Good Idea
"It really does hurt people," the president of the local postal workers union said.

Starting in August, mail will no longer be delivered on Saturday. In today's e-world, this seems like a decent strategy to save about $2 billion a year for the postal service, which is bleeding nearly eight times that amount annually, and a way to make a stab at preserving the dying agency. And most Americans tend to agree.
Here in Boston, however, not everyone thinks so.
"I will stop shopping on Saturday and Sunday when this goes into effect," one commenter wrote on a recent Globe story about the proposed Saturday service cut. "My veterans check always comes in on Saturday. That means that I don't get any money until Monday. This is a stupid move."
Under the plan, postmen will no longer deliver mail on Saturday but will continue to drop off packages six days a week. Post offices that are open on Saturday will remain so.
Postal workers, however, are seriously concerned. "You go into these poor communities like Roxbury or Dorchester that have senior citizens and complexes for the disabled," says Paul Kilduff, General President of the Boston Metro American Postal Workers Union, "and they're going to be harmed. Prescription delivery, money from relatives and the things that people depend on to pay bills. People rely on the post office and some of these companies that are open on Saturday won't receive payments. And if it gets there on Monday, it might be late, and the person gets a penalty. So it really does hurt people."
The root of the problem seems to be the surging cost of the mandatory funding of future retiree health benefits, which accounted for more than $11 billion of the agency's nearly $16 billion in losses last year. If Congress were to get rid of this expenditure, argues Kilduff, then it wouldn't be too hard to bring the postal service into the black and it wouldn't be necessary to cut services and also fire employees.
"Those long lines at the post office are because they're cutting staffing so drastically," says Kilduff, "and this is just one more step toward cutting customer service out of the postal service. This is just the start of it. By 2015, we may not even have mail delivered to our doorsteps anymore. [Postmaster General] Patrick Donahoe is the worst we've ever had, and we're calling for his resignation. He's killing us."

Who is Your Character?
Everyone knows that it's the details that make your character spring to life. Small details pull a reader in, make her or him human (or not) and allow a reader to relate and want to learn more. As writers, we all know this. Many of us, however, ignore these small details in our fever of writing. We get so caught up in the plot, in the story itself, we lose track of what makes our characters stand out.
William Bernhardt has a wonderfully unique idea. I honestly wish I had thought of it but I have to tip my hat to Mr. Bernhardt for the concept. Let me take a circuitous route to the idea so you understand this wonderful concept.
A writer should know his/her character inside and out. What was her childhood like? Was she pampered, spanked, have a hard time in school or did her breeze through grade school to the envy, and perhaps animosity of his peers? Did he eat something one day, becoming deathly ill, and hate that food every since? Did she have a little too much to drink at a high school game, hitting the mailbox on the way home, trying to negotiate the moving driveway? Was his first sex experience the normal adolescent bumbling and awkward moment or was he seduced by a mid thirtys neighbor lady? C'mon, admit it, you want to know now, don't you? Just these last three sentences have you wanting more, don't they? You want answers.
Obviously, not every detail belongs in a story. If you included all of the above details in your story, with the many others that make up your character's life, your story could very well drag on and become tediously boring. I'm not saying to include every detail of your character's life in your work. What I am saying is you have to be aware of these details. You have to know them. You should know your characters, all of them, from the moment of birth until the moment of death. You are aware the irony of life is that none of us get out of it alive. Neither does your character, at least not most characters. You don't have to write about those final moments, you don't even have to address them in any of your work, but your should know them.
This works for characters of all ages too. For example, if you're writing a coming of age story and your protagonist is fourteen, how does this concept help you? It helps a great deal actually. Remember, you have to know your character from birth to death. Everything that happened in the life of that character. Perhaps your main character is a boy. He has dreams of becoming a fighter pilot in the air force but because of an ear infection when he was six his sense of balance is not good enough for him to become a fighter pilot. So, his love of power and speed sends him in another direction. Perhaps as a racecar driver or even head mechanic of a successful Daytona racing team.
How does this help you write this character? You can show his interest, even at this early age, of speed and power. Maybe he likes to accompany his parents, or talks them into going, to drag races or stack car races. Probably he talks them into taking him to air shows. Perhaps he tinkers with his bike and comes up with a new gear ratio that makes it extremely fast. These small details could make this character come to life because they make him relatable to your readers. You only know this about your character because you know what his life will be like. You know it, pardon the pun, like a book.
With this background, your characters become alive, they become human, they become relatable. Your readers will want more. If you know your characters thoroughly you can add these small human qualities, earned by their experiences, into your work to make your readers understand your characters. The reader will want to know more because your character now has a background you've allowed the reader to peer into, however briefly.
As for the idea Mr. Bernhardt suggested, once you understand your character, you should be able to create a believable Facebook page. Your characters have a life now, they have experiences, they have depth and solidity. I'll take Mr. Bernhardt's concept a step further. If you do this for all of your characters it can become the kernel for an author's page. Oh, not a single page. With very few exceptions there hasn't been a book written primarily about a single character. Yes, there have been some notable ones like 'The Old Man and the Sea' and even 'The Martian' but those are the exception, not the rule. Assume for a minute you have an author's site and, for each story, you provide links to the Facebook pages of your characters? What a unique experience for your reader!
It's also a good experience for you. You get to know your characters inside and out. Was that scar on his cheek obtained by a fight in a bar during his military career or during a snowball fight when he was a kid when one of the combatants threw an iceball at him? Is your heroine thin today because her mother made her feel guilty as a youngster because she was a bit on the heavy side? Does she have an attitude because of an incident at Marine boot camp she never shared with anyone else? You can use this concept to put flesh on the bones of your character, bring them to life and make your readers want to know more.
Thank you Mr. Bernhardt. I am indebted to you.

House Season 7 Episode 23
Moving On
Taub learned that he has two pregnant lovers this week: his girlfriend, Ruby, and his ex-wife, Rachel; neither knows about the other, of course, so this should make for some fun next season.
But the real crux of the finale centered around House. Cuddy tried to get him to open up to her about their split, but he would simply say he felt "hurt." He was then driven to a newer low by a patient, a performance artist who initially chose to die on her own terms. House admired this about her, but then turned on her when she decided to try and live.
House yelled at her: "You don't need to depend on people who are gonna let you down." Pretty clear he was deflecting his issues on to her, wasn't it?
From there, House went by Cuddy's place to drop off a hairbrush, only to see her eating dinner with another guy. This set House off. He turned around and literally drove the car into Cuddy's house, destroying it. We later heard Cuddy's telling the police that she wanted House arrested, but he was nowhere to be found...
... until the camera panned to him in a bar. In the tropics somewhere. That's how the season ended.

But we're missing something! I didn't tape it, so this is from memory. In the scene where Cuddy is talking to the cops it's dark, & she's worn looking. Wilson has a bandaged hand. There's the noise of helicopters over head. Wilson asked the guy who is supposedly a blind date from Cuddy's sister if HE'S GOING TO ARREST House. Not like, are you pressing charges, but are you going to slap cuffs on him! There's more to this story they haven't show us yet.

Pulp Fiction is a film of many worlds: from the bathrobe-and-pajama-attired living rooms of low-level drug dealers to the intercom-equipped love nest of Marsellus and Mia Wallace. The movie is an insider's tour of L.A.'s underbelly, but there's a stop along the way that lightens the mood considerably: Vince and Mia's dinner date at Jack Rabbit Slim's.
Jack Rabbit Slim's makes good on its marquee promise of being "The Next Best Thing to a Time Machine" the minute Vince and Mia stroll through the door to be greeted by a spot-on Jack Benny impersonator at the reservations desk. Who better to serve as master of ceremonies for such "a really big show"? As they make their way to their reserved Chrysler, Vince wanders the perimeter in a drug-induced haze, allowing us to take in the restaurant as if by theme park tram: the racing Matchbox cars, Marilyn in her Seven Year Itch halter dress, the Sputnik lamps, the '50s era movie posters...So enthralling is the spectacle that Vince drifts past their booth, only to be called back by Mia.
But as the scene unfolds, we get the sense that for Mia, it's all about the milkshake -- specifically, the $5 milkshake. Ordered "Martin and Lewis" style from a blink-and-you-miss-him Steve Buscemi (as Buddy Holly), the price tag can't help but make Vince sit up and take notice. When it arrives, he's compelled to have a taste. And even if he's not quite ready to admit that its price tag is justified, he's impressed. Mia knows her milkshakes.
It's a trick Tarantino plays on us throughout Pulp Fiction: AM hits from the 70s spool out of beater cars from the 80s, and hipster slang from the 60s is bandied about while Mia plies the straw of a milkshake priced straight out of the not-too-distant future. By interweaving so many period-specific details, Tarantino ironically gives the film a timeless feel - which is maybe why watching it today feels as fresh is it did in 1994.

Mike Graham, 56, of Garden City / Eric Seals/DFP
WHY ARE WE DISCUSSING THIS NOW? Eighty years ago today was the coldest day ever recorded in Michigan history, according to the National Weather Service. It was 51 degrees below in Vanderbilt in Otsego County, on Feb. 9, 1934.
FAIR ENOUGH. SO, WHY IS MICHIGAN SO COLD? What are you comparing us to, Florida? Michigan is in a higher latitude, closer to the polar regions, so the cold air doesnt have far to travel or far to modify, according to Ashton Peyrefitte Jr., an assistant professor of meteorology at Central Michigan University.
IS COLDWATER IN BRANCH COUNTY NAMED THAT FOR THIS REASON? SHOULD IT BE CALLED FROZENWATER? It has nothing to do with that.
MICHIGAN IS SURROUNDED BY THE GREAT LAKES. DOES THAT PLAY A ROLE? If you seek a pleasant temperature, look about you. The water is warmer than the land, so when the winds blow across the lake, it tends to warm up our area, especially at night. Temperatures in parts of Michigan may be 15 degrees higher than in Wisconsin and points west.
DOES MICHIGANS RELATIVELY FLAT TOPOGRAPHY HAVE ANY EFFECT? Not really.
WHY IS THIS WINTER, IN PARTICULAR, SO BRUTAL? In part, the answer is that a pole-ward bulge is bringing down a lot of cold air in the western part of the country, while theres a trough of low pressure in the eastern part. This weather pattern has been rather stationary since the end of November. The cold air has just been coming down from west-central Canada in the east-central part of the U.S. without moderation. Peyrefitte calls it a great winter the last one was in 1976-77.
WAS THAT THE LAST TIME THE STATES WEATHER WENT TO HELL? Yes, but it wasnt just the Livingston County community. Insert the requisite hell has frozen over joke here.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE SNOW? While there has been a lot of the white stuff, none came in the form of massive storms, rather clipper-type systems, fast-moving systems from the northwest that bring a couple of inches or so of snow. The problem is that the snow isnt melting, so the snow pack has been around since November. It keeps piling up and making it look like a very, very snowy winter. The western part of the state until approximately 20 miles inland feels this even more with lake-effect snow coming off Lake Michigan. The Upper Peninsula experiences the same thing off Lake Superior, but its already mighty cold and snowy up there. Municipalities near the shore of Lake Huron arent affected, because the wind is primarily out of the west.
DOES A HARSH WINTER MEAN A MODERATE SUMMER? Who knows? For now, keep warm with thoughts of personal watercraft, instead of snowmobiles.

City Lights, the most cherished film by Charlie Chaplin, is also his ultimate Little Tramp chronicle. The writer-director-star achieved new levels of grace, in both physical comedy and dramatic poignancy, with this silent tale of a lovable vagrant falling for a young blind woman who sells flowers on the street (a magical Virginia Cherrill) and mistakes him for a millionaire. Though this Depression-era smash was made after the advent of sound, Chaplin remained steadfast in his love for the expressive beauty of the pre-talkie form. The result was the epitome of his art and the crowning achievement of silent comedy.
