Seeing demolition differently
Indiana-based demolition company Klenck is using Volvo Construction Equipment machines to achieve widespread success across the USA thanks to a mutual dedication to quality, safety and environmental care.
A rapidly growing demolition contractor based in southern Indiana, USA, cares a lot about the environment, its customers and the safety and comfort of its operators – and so too does the company that helps to supply its machines. Klenck Company – experts in demolition – has a fleet consisting of seven Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) machines that have quality, safety and environmental care at the heart of their designs.
These shared values, combined with an innovative approach, have led to big things for Klenck Company. Founded in 2008 by husband and wife, Tim and Angie Klenck, the company has grown from a two-person venture working on small-scale projects to the Midwest's leading commercial demolition enterprise. By joining forces with the Henry Fligeltaub Company – a scrap-metal recycling business – the building demolition specialists have obtained contracts with many large corporations, and business is now spreading across the USA and Canada.
So how did they do it? Tim, president of Klenck Company, explains: "We have a simple strategy – to keep the costs down for our customers, and for ourselves. By partnering with Fligeltaub Recycling we are able to salvage and recycle most of the building materials – benefitting our customers cost-wise and benefitting the environment by reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfill."
Painstaking but pain-free
A recent 'big win' for the ever-expanding business was the demolition of the well-known Emge Meat Packing Plant in Anderson, Indiana. Due to its location, Klenck Company was not allowed to use explosives during the demolition of the plant – meaning that every inch of concrete, steel beams, bricks and window frames had to be sheared, moved, sorted, loaded and processed using machinery. Tim employs operators through a trade union, so they come from all over the US. "Because many live far away from the site, we work long 10-hour shifts so they can have three-day weekends to visit their families," says Tim. "Machine uptime is essential for us so that we can get the work done, correctly and on time. We only use Volvo CE machines because, for us, time is money, and Volvo's service has always been timely and reliable."
The majority of demolition work on this project is carried out at height – the factory is four stories high and even taller in some parts – so for Tim, giving his operators a comfortable working environment is extremely important. He says: "Volvo machines offer our operators a comfortable ride. The cabs tilt to 30°, enhancing visibility and reducing neck strain when working on high buildings. They can sit back and easily see what's going on above and around them." Forward- and rearview-cameras, projected onto the in-cab monitor, further improve all-round visibility.
The latest addition to Tim's fleet is a Volvo CE EC360C HR ultra high reach excavator – specially designed for demolition of tall structures – featuring a boom that extends to 21m. Its attachments can be rotated 360° for ultimate precision when pulverizing, grappling, crushing and shearing. Boosting machine utilization, an innovative modular joint uses a hydraulic lock mechanism to change from high-reach demolition boom to a standard backhoe configuration – in less than 30 minutes.
"Our machines work 2,000 hours per year and not always on high-rise projects. So being able to switch quickly and easily between standard and high-reach booms is essential to keep things moving on site," says Tim.
Safety as number 1
Klenck Company currently owns three Volvo EC330B excavators, one Volvo L110E and L60F wheel loader, one Volvo MC135C skid steer loader the latest addition to its fleet, the Volvo EC360C HR ultra high reach demolition excavator.
"We don't believe in micro-managing on our sites," says Tim. "But we take safety very seriously and do all that we can to ensure operators are protected." Klenck Company offers rigorous training and has a full-time safety officer on all of its sites. Operators carry out a hazard analysis before every job and site-specific training. And the company's Volvo machinery helps to make their work even safer on site thanks to the special safety features built-into the machines.
The Volvo EC360C HR has a frame-mounted falling object guard (FOG) that protects the operator against any errant pieces of falling debris. Other protection includes bolted side-impact protection, heavy-duty double-thickness side doors and bucket and boom cylinder guards help to protect the machine and its operator from all other angles. The sound-dampened cab also protects the operator against hearing damage and enhances comfort.
"Our operators are very happy with the machines," says Tim. "They often comment on the excellent visibility that Volvo CE machines, in particular, provide – and the additional protection features help to keep our operators safe on site."

As dieters work on new year's resolutions to shed pounds, the Federal Trade Commission Tuesday announced enforcement actions against four companies the agency says have used deceptive advertising claims to sell weight-loss products.
The products lured consumers with promises of making weight-loss easy. But "the chances of being successful just by sprinkling something on your food, rubbing cream on your thighs, or using a supplement are slim to none," said Jessica Rich, director of the FTC's consumer protection bureau. "The science just isn't there."
The FTC announced the following enforcement actions:
• The marketers of Sensa, a weight-loss powder sprinkled on food, will pay $26.5 million to settle agency charges that the company made unfounded weight-loss claims and used misleading endorsements. The money will be refunded to consumers who bought Sensa, which was sold by retail chains such as Costco and GNC, on the Home Shopping Network, and on the Internet. Terms of the settlement, among other things, bar the company, its CEO Adam Goldenberg and Sensa creator and part-owner Alan Hirsch from making weight-loss claims about dietary supplements, foods or drugs unless they have two adequate and well-controlled human clinical studies.Sensa had U.S. sales of more than $364 million, Rich said.
• L'Occitane Inc. will pay $450,000 for selling its Almond Beautiful Shape and Almond Shaping Delight skin creams, which the company said had body slimming capabilities and are clinically proven. Ads said Almond Beautiful Shape was a "cellulite fighter" and could "trim 1.3 inches in just 4 weeks." Yet the company had no science to back up the claim, the FTC said. The proposed settlement in this case, among other things, bans the firm from claiming any product applied to the skin causes substantial weight loss or reduction in body size.
• LeanSpa principal Boris Mizhen and three companies he controls will surrender cash, real estate and personal property worth an estimated $7 million in a partial settlement with the FTC over allegedly deceptive promotion through fake news websites of acai berry and "colon cleanse" weight-loss supplements. Mizhen's wife, Angelina Strano, who the FTC says accepted money in the scheme but didn't actively participate in it, will surrender nearly $300,000. Mizhen's operation was shut down by the FTC and the state of Connecticut in December 2011. Litigation continues against other defendants in the LeanSpa case, the FTC said.
• HCG Diet Direct, which marketed an "unproven human hormone that has been touted by hucksters for more than half a century as a weight-loss treatment," had its $3.2 million judgment suspended because of the company's inability to pay. The FTC says the Arizona-based company and its director, Clint Ethington, sold liquid drops containing a diluted form of human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone produced by the human placenta, and claimed in ads that consumers could lose up to one pound a day by placing the solution under their tongues before meals while eating a very low calorie diet. The proposed settlement bars the company and Ethington from, among other things, making weight-loss product claims unless the claim is non-misleading and backed by at least two adequate and well-controlled human clinical studies.
The FTC has taken similar actions against marketers of weight-loss products for decades. "We do like to periodically bring new cases and new sweeps, both to deter conduct by companies in this area and also remind consumers about the fact that many of the claims in this area are not accurate and they should be wary of those," Rich said.
Rich said media organizations need to do more to screen for and reject deceptive advertisements and announced that the FTC is sending letters to 75 publishers, broadcasters and media trade groups asking them to educate their sales staffs on how to spot bogus claims. Rich said the FTC also has created a "Gut Check" website with updated guidance to help advertising officials identify seven weight-loss marketing claims that evidence show are never true.
Consumers also need to recognize that when they buy fad products they're wasting money and delaying making important changes in diet and exercise, Rich said. The FTC has tips on its website for consumers considering health and weight loss products. "We want consumers to learn to recognize tell tale signs of a rip off," she said.

April 26th, 2012
Hi there. I'm Kat. You may know me from Daily Show writer Miles Kahn's popular screenshot above, or its subsequent appearance in countless blog posts such as Jim Romenesko's "Thank you, CNN!" or Videogum's "Tips for Solo Dining" or Jezebel's "We Just Really Want to Make Sure You're Cool on the 'Eating Alone' Front." Oh, and now The Soup's "My Dinner With Entrée."
I'm sorry about ruining TV journalism for everyone while not looking anything like the world's most beautiful human, Beyonce, but I really do dig eating alone sometimes. On purpose, even. Not just because of my hideous deformities and "man face" (thank you, internet commenters!).
Not everyone enjoys solo dining, though, and that's such a shame to me. Plenty of people don't think twice about sitting alone in a restaurant, out of necessity or preference. Armed with a book, a phone, people watching or their own quiet thoughts, they're good to go.
The women interviewed admitted to skipping meals, hiding at dark tables in the back, or faking cell phone calls to avoid the scrutiny of other diners, who they felt perceived them as "sad, lonely spinster(s)" clearly out to ensnare unsuspecting gentlemen by sexily eating salad alone at the bar. The discomfort isn't gender-limited though; the Newsroom guest before me, a whip-smart, take no prisoners political analyst, flinched when I told him the topic. Though he travels the country extensively and alone for his job, he might brave a diner at lunchtime, but never a higher-end restaurant at night. The notion simply cowed him.
I'm lucky enough to have no qualms about walking into a restaurant anywhere on the shmanciness spectrum at any time of day and taking great pleasure in my meals. When I was 19 years old and trying to stitch myself back together after an excruciating breakup, a friend told me he thought that there was nothing in the world more intriguing than a woman eating on her own. Twenty years later, I still take that to heart . While I don't put a great deal of thought into how my fellow patrons are perceiving me, I do attribute other solo diners with a sense of self confidence, calm, and delight.
I have plenty of people I love in my life, but they may or may not share my food obsessions. That's okay; I don't need them to. My husband isn't keen on offal or intense spice, so I won't subject him to it. I could be working in a city where I don't know a soul. I may just wish to chill out with a nice Manhattan, a plate of oysters (that I don't have to share) and the comfort of my own company. I might just be hungry. I figured I could help empower someone who needed it.
My tips (in a less reductive form than one might guess from the screenshot):
Sit at the bar
This one is a slam dunk. You're not taking up a whole table and drawing a server's potential disdain with a lowered check total. A bartender can be a companion and ally if you'd like one, or a protective force if you're in need of such a thing. It's also a great way to chat with other patrons, or stare dreamily at the liquor collection, lost in your own thoughts.
Ask questions about the menu
Curious diners get great service. Per almost every front-of-house staffer I've known professionally or as a friend, they'll pay special attention to a person who seems genuinely curious about the food and drinks, and often bring them extra things to try. Bartenders and servers are humans, too - some of the best ones, even - and appreciate a friendly patron who actually values their opinion. If you do return to the place (and have tipped humanely), you'll be on the fast track to "regular" status.
Bring a book
As my friend Steven, a pro-level solo diner, says, a book is the universal symbol for "Please don't talk to me." If a woman is indeed concerned with being seen as a Dockers-chasing harlot, a book is a smashing defense (just no "Fifty Shades of Grey," please) - or an excellent distraction that can be easily be tucked aside if something entertaining arises. Or, if you are perhaps in search of a comely fellow Proust fan, that's a big ol' flag you can fly.
Use Twitter
This may not be for everyone, but as I wrote about a few months back after traveling for an uncle's funeral, if you're eating solo out of duty and not desire, there are worse things than having a social network in your pocket. While I'd sooner swallow a lobster pick than tweet at the table when there's company present or post pictures of my meal, if I'm alone, on occasion I'd like company. Because I write about food for a living, my online circles tend to be pretty dining-centric. I like to make the most of any meal opportunity I have while I'm in a new city, and chances are that one of my over 22,000 followers has a few recommendations that shouldn't be missed.
While it's not been exceptionally pleasant having my worth as a journalist, appearance or potential social appeal assessed by strangers and other media professionals on the internet, it's all part of the cycle, and it's helped at least one person.
A good friend and fellow journalist, Adam Robb, has recently become the caregiver of his very ill grandmother, and it's taken a toll. As he told me yesterday, he opened his Facebook to write me a note and vent a little bit. The first thing in his newsfeed was that screen grab. "I'm taking it as a sign from God I should take myself out to dinner tonight," he told me.
He went to Daniel Humm and Will Guidara's NoMad - one of the hottest new restaurants in New York City. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal. He ate alone.

Comments On Jan 27, 2014:The cap is a multiple piece unit with a spring for whatever reason, and the part that actually seals against the o-ring is thin and broke in my back pack on the first ride leaking gas over everything including me. The actual metal container is nice though.

Comments On Mar 29, 2012:I have two of these bottles from rockymountain i ordered at two different times for my wolfman holsters. Both are great bottles at a great price but they are different. One bottle is a black water bottle with a drinking lid and regular lid. The other is a red bottle labeled for fuel with a child proof cap. I use both bottles and will purchase one more of each but RM needs to tell which is which. I ordered both expecting red fuel bottles as shown but happened to keep the water bottle and really like it. Its been run over and heavily dented, popped right out with a little pressure and no leaks.

- Title
- The impulsive generation of drops at a fluid-fluid interface
- Author(s)
- Phillips, William R. C.; Tjan, Kuan-Khoon
- Abstract
- We consider theoretically the evolution of a fluid-fluid interface set into motion by intense localized pressures caused by focused ultrasound. Depending upon the levels of gravity and surface tension, the interface is found to form either axisymmetric waves or to expel droplets which may be spherical, tear shaped or pancake like. Phase diagrams of Weber number versus Froude number and Atwood number are presented. The pinch off process which effect drops is in all cases of the power law type with exponent 2/3 and is realized as a singularity in finite time. The study was motivated by the occurrence of lung hemorrhage during ultrasonic imaging and seeks a non-thermal, non-cavitational explanation for it. Specifically, it pursues the notion that bursts of ultrasound act to expel droplets that puncture the soft air-filled sacs in the lung plural surface allowing them to fill with blood.

Diabetes is the "gateway disease" that often can lead to other health concerns, especially for Blacks. According to the Centers for Disease Control, one of every three Blacks in this country either has diabetes or is pre-diabetic, and nearly 39 percent of Black Minnesotans' deaths are caused by diabetes. As a result, Stairstep Foundation/His Works United, in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Health, has partnered with 11 local Black churches to host classes to help people avoid becoming diabetic. "My church has been doing this way before other churches," claims local school nurse Beverly Propes, a member of Friendship Baptist Church. Her church and Wayman AME Church have been partners in this effort for about five years. Continue Reading →

A Charlotte disc jockey has been sentenced to at least 20 years in prison for the death of his wife more than a year ago.
Brandon Blakeney entered an Alford plea in court in Charlotte on Thursday. An Alford plea does not admit guilty, but does acknowledge there is enough evidence for a conviction.
Blakeney was sentenced to between 20 years and 25 years in prison.
Prosecutors say he strangled 34-year-old Catherine Blakeney in 2011 and lived in their home with her body for several weeks. Her body was found a few days after Christmas.
A prosecutor said Blakeney also used a debit card his wife had been issued to collect unemployment benefits.
Brandon Blakeney had worked as a DJ in Charlotte clubs.

Review Details
Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump
- Product Review (submitted on December 30, 2009):
- I use this pump to pump mostly at home, every once in a while at work (in a single, private bathroom). I use it mostly once a day, sometimes two times. I have really like it, and haven't had a single problem with it. It does not seem too loud to me - you can hear it, but it never seems distracting. I find the pieces easy to clean - we wash them with the dishes with hot soapy water. It pumps plenty of breastmilk - very efficient, doesn't hurt (once you are used to it), comfortable to use, etc. I do only one side at a time because it was too much to manage holding both at the same time. I also breastfeed and use this to provide him milk when I am away, so I can't speak to how good this pump is if you are providing milk exclusively by pumping. In short, for daily, but not intense use, this has worked really well for us for the last six months. I would recommend it to someone in a similar situation.

Hole-in-the-Day the Younger (1827–1868) signed almost every land cession treaty between the Minnesota Ojibwe and the U.S. government. MN90 producer Marisa Helms reports that though he was an effective negotiator he was also a controversial figure with many enemies. On June 27, 1868, as he was traveling to Washington, D.C., to fight the removal of his people to a reservation at White Earth, Hole-in-the-Day was assassinated by Ojibwe men from Leech Lake just a few miles from his home in Crow Wing.
One of Minnesota's greatest athletes was Dan Patch, a harness horse from the turn of the 20th century who set the world record by pacing a mile in 1:55. When salesman Marion Savage (yes, the town Savage, MN is named after him) bought Dan Patch, he became very rich by turning his horse into a supreme pitchman for all kinds of products, including cars, watches and washing machines. MN90 producer Marisa Helms has the story.
Betty Crocker has it all. She's wholesome, pretty, and bakes a "perfect cake every time." Pretty impressive for a woman who doesn't actually exist. MN90 Producer Andi McDaniel finds out how Gold Medal Flour created a persona that still charms homemakers today.
Split Rock Lighthouse has been a fixture of Northern Minnesota for generations. But few know the story behind its shaky beginning. What happens when an overeager new lighthouse keeper jumps the gun?

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Federal authorities say four Southern California men have been charged with plotting to kill Americans overseas and in the United States by joining al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says the defendants are under arrest for plotting to bomb government facilities and public places.
According to the federal complaint unsealed Monday during initial appearances, 34-year-old Sohiel Omar Kabir introduced two other California men to the radical Islamist doctrine of Anwar al-Awlaki, a deceased al-Qaida leader.
Authorities allege Kabir traveled to Afghanistan and communicated with the two -- 23-year-old Ralph Deleon and 21-year-old Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales -- so he could arrange for their travel to join him and meet with his contacts for terror organizations. They later recruited 21-year-old Arifeen David Gojali.
The complaint says Deleon and Santana told an FBI source of their plans to engage in "violent jihad."

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
- "Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather. Or the... Ah I don't know, that thing. That magic."
- ―Michael during the teaser trailer
Michael is the one of the protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V.
Early Life
- "You see it in the movies. I wanted to retire. From what I was doing, you know? From that, that... line of work. Be a good guy for once, a family man. So, I bought a big house. Came here, put my feet up, and thought I be a dad like all the other dads. My kids, would be like the kids on TV. We could play ball and sit in the sun. But well, you know how it is."
- ―Michael during the teaser tralier
Michael's background is unknown at the moment, but it has been said that he is from somewhere in the East Coast and at some point in his young life he became a bank robber, and through the years he became highly successful at his job. Whilst young Michael somehow ran into an ex-military pilot named Trevor Phillips, who also had a flare for criminal acts and the two became close friends, performing several major heists in the past. Michael then met his future wife Amanda and had two children, Jimmy and Tracy.
Events of GTA V
During the events of Grand Theft Auto V, Michael retired from his life of crime after making a "sweetheart" deal with the FIB. In the process of that deal, he and his family got rich off of it, now living in a large mansion with several sports cars and a private tennis court and golf course.
But Michael's domestic life is sadly coming to an end. In fact, his wife who now barely tolerates him anymore, spent almost all of his money in the city's finest boutiques. Both his son and daughter have little -if not any- time left for him. Even Trevor had a severe falling out with Michael. This caused a severe rift between the two. Running out of money quickly and tired of being bored and miserable, Michael gets back to the criminal life.
His personal story is how the breakdown of his bought idyllic life pushes a man to breaking point. He is described as a man with everything and nothing to lose both at the same time, and his seemingly blissful existence in San Andreas will be changed forever by the events of GTA V.
The first missions that displays Michael is Pest Control and The Extraction.
During the mission The Extraction, the story starts with Michael resting confortably by his pool in a pair of flap-flops alongside a pool in his mansion in Rockford Hills. Michael's home is shown to be amazingly designed with the draw distance being stunning - Game Informer has stated that they were able to see his private tennis court in a near distance and when they got a look onto the smoggy horizon they were able to see the cityscape of downtown Los Santos. Like stated before, Michael and his wife Amanda aren't getting along and he doesn't have the slightest idea of how to talk with his children. When Michael gets up and walks into his mansion, they meet his daughter Tracy, who Game Informer described "jamming out loudly to a Just Dance-style video game. The quote she gives to him is "It's called exercise - you should try it,"in a flippant way to her father.
After this, Michael crosses paths with Amanda - who is heading out for another shopping spree. When she walks out the front door she shouts, "If you want to know where I am you can check your credit card statements." She hops into her Sentinel XS which Michael responds back with "Hey I'm felling lucky! I'll check the hospitals!". With the car gone, Michael then grabs the mountain bike out of the garage and heads out to meet up with Franklin and Trevor. When riding down the neighborhood of Rockford Hills Game Informer stated that there were manicured lawns, sprinkler systems, rolling hills, and plenty high-end luxury cars on the road to make the Grotti dealership look like a "used car lot".
After this, (and skipping through Trevor and Franklin's story), Michael and Trevor have already reunited, but not by choice. The FIB is hot on there backs and to get them off, the trio needs to perform a snatch-and-grab mission. When Michael pulls up, he sees Trevor insulting the security agent who was guarding the chopper about standing around with his earpiece while everyone else is "out there making money and nailing chicks." While Michael urges his lunatic friend to calm down, Trevor keeps on going about and insults the agent even more. He has agreed to this mission on the premise that this will lead to the springing of his friend Brad. Michael responds to this with "We'll talk about Brad later."
Franklin then arrives and both he and Trevor have a first exposure to each other face-to-face. Trevor is already cautious of the new recruit and makes a hot-headed rant about how Michael is acting like a father-figure to Franklin (even though Michael can't take care of his own childen). After seeing Franklin get taken aback by the rant said by Trevor, Michael tells him that it is okay if he sits this mission out. He then agrees to proceed with the mission as planned. Trevor also agrees to put his faith in Michael's judgement and trust within Franklin and the three make a well-rounded but unconventional team.
When Michael gets into the right and suitable outfit for the job, he and Trevor hop inside of the chopper so they can get the target out of the IAA building while Franklin provides the cover from a nearby building. When Trevor gets to the building, the player assumes the role of Michael as he rappels down the side of the building to locate the right office.
Michael then finds the right office and before things got out of hand, he smashes through the glass and grabs the target holding him hostage with one arm while pointing his gun at the various interrogators reaching for there pistols (Franklin then provides some great covering fire, taking out half of the agents in the room). When Trevor picks up Michael and the target a helicopter chse ensures and if the player choose to play as Michael, he and Franklin take down the last few birds in the sky before returning to the chopper back to the FIB helipad and the mission ends.
Unnamed missions that Michael may appear in
- In one scene in the second trailer, Michael was seen relaxing in his mansion while his Amanda and Tracy were steady arguing. This could perhaps be the first mission in Grand Theft Auto V, (or it could be The Extraction mission stated above).
- The next scene with Michael is when Franklin and Lamar ask Michael where the Berto Beach House is located, this could be the first time Michael meets Franklin.
- The next scene shows off Michael's driving skills when he and Franklin are either trying to rescue Michaels son or his son was helping them with a mission.
- This next short but funny scene shows off the humor in GTA when both Michael and Jimmy are inside a car and Jimmy says, quote, "Hey, let's bounce." leading Michael to reply with "Bounce...we're bouncing now?"
- The final scene shows off a robbery being committed, with 3 men in orange and gray jumpsuits blowing up a vault door. (Possibly Michael, Franklin and Trevor).
Dan Houser's Way of Describing Michael
"Michael, to me, is... Who is he? I know who he is, I'm just trying to... He's the person who is trying to ignore some rather large mistakes that they have made. The person who's trying to forget about certain practical but still selfish decisions that they took. He's a man, also, obsessed by images and by appearances and who, when the world doesn't live up to those images and appearances, doesn't know what to do. He just retreats into his head. What he also is, when we started out... What he kind of evolved into as we began thinking about him and developing him... He was the first character we came up with. He began as the idea of, what happens to a regular GTA protagonist after they retire? Then you think, what would make him retire? He's a man with a big ego and plenty of good values and plenty of bad values."
"A guy who's in his mid-40s and on the cusp of middle age who doesn't know what to do, but made a bunch of money and does not know what to do with it. He's theoretically won, but the spoils of victory aren't necessarily what he imagined. For us that's a very interesting character, unlike what we've done in the past or what we've seen in much entertainment in general, let alone any video games. That was interesting."
"He's the person who is trying to ignore some rather large mistakes that they have made. The person who's trying to forget about certain practical but still selfish decisions that they took. He's a man, also, obsessed by images and by appearances and who, when the world doesn't live up to those images and appearances, doesn't know what to do. He just retreats into his head."
Michael is known to have a good and bad side. His good side is that he is thoughtful and calculated and likely to keep his motives hidden. But, his bad side are his flaws, and his flaws are certainly his large ego, an inability to control his temper, and his willingness to make large moral compromises. He wants to compartmentalize and be a good guy some of the time. As stated above he has a horrible family that he wants to leave but can't for specific reasons and has access to all the pleasures in the world but is bored. Dan Houser has also stated that despite seeming to be the good guy (at least compared to Trevor), he might end up being worse than Trevor in the end.
As Rockstar Games made there way into the character development stages of Grand Theft Auto V, Michael was the first protagonist that Rockstar came up with, being a tough guy, as in the past episodes of the GTA series, but also different. So, Rockstar wanted him to be a "little bit older", according to Dan Houser. Part of what Rockstar thought of when making Michael is the hero of Grand Theft Auto III grown older while the other part is "what happens when a GTA protagoninst retires?". Rockstar decided to make him a rich man with a mansion in the most exclusive neighborhood in Los Santos while he spends his time in a chair smoking a cigar near his pool. Rockstar then thought it would be funny if they added him a horrible family as a little push to remain active in his professional criminal life.[citation needed]
Relationships With Other Main Characters
- Trevor - Trevor's relationship with Michael started at an unknown time period, but the two had a hard friendship with one another. Their relationship was great until both men had a falling out which caused a rift in between their friendship (some believe that it was Michael's deal with the FIB that caused that rift). Since that brief rift, it caused both men to stay friends but with a troubled relationship with one another. When the two old buddies see each other, they often bicker a lot.
- Franklin - After meeting one another, Franklin and Michael began this father-son relationship with Michael holding some affection for Franklin, and saw potential and a younger Michael in Franklin, and Franklin doesn't really have a family but wants to move up in the criminal underworld but at the same time, doesn't know how to do so. So, he saw his way in after meeting Michael. Dan Houser has also stated that the father-son relationship between the two could lead to some "interesting situations."
- Amanda - Amanda's relationship with Michael also started in an unknown time. The two fell in love with one another, got married and had two children. During the events of the game, she can barely tolerate him anymore, (mainly because Dan Houser also confirmed that Michael has been awful to her in the past few years). One of the reasons she fell in love with Michael is because she is bound to him by their past lives, but now both of them can't stand each other anymore (Another statement by Dan Houser).
- Jimmy - Jimmy's relationship with his father is rocky as well and even though Michael is far from perfect, so is his son. They've both got a confused and awful relationship with each other. This was seen in the second trailer when Jimmys says the words, "Hey, let's bounce.", to which Michael is a tad bit lost by and says "Bounce, we're bouncing now?"
- Tracy - Michael's relationship with his daughter was also said to be weak, by Rockstar, though the second trailer, her first appearance, didn't show any dialogue with Michael. According to Rockstar, they barely talk anymore. If they do talk it is either them bickering, or arguing with each other.
Skills and Attributes
As an experienced bank robber, he's skilled in planning the complex heists that make up the structure for the single-player story and is a smooth operator as well as the brains of the team. In the cutscenes that Game Informer saw, Michael appears to be the team's leader – although neither of his partners were easily led. He's good with a gun, and though older now, still capable of tackling challenging tasks like rappelling out of a helicopter onto a skyscraper. During the second trailer, Michael demonstrated great driving skills, managing to save his son, who was hanging onto a large boat on the top of a tow truck while losing his grip. Just like Trevor and Franklin he is also the master of greed, ambition and insanity. Dan Houser has stated that, "He is always good at what he does, steal, kill, but he does not want to fall back into its failings."
Michael has a nice clean-cut appearance, along with nice clothes, usually seen in screenshots and artworks with a gray, black or dark blue dress suit with a light green or white dress shirt underneath. In the "Michael, Franklin and Trevor" artwork he is seen dressed with a creamy-yellow collared shirt with blue dress pants. During the opening scene in the second trailer, Michael walks outside to his pool with nothing on but sandals, swimming trunks and a pair of glasses, showing us that he is a small portion over weight but still in good shape.
Michael has had a very positive responses from critics and fans, one of the reason is because of him being the first playable character in the entire GTA Series that has a family. Another reason is that he is much like Tommy Vercetti, or Carl Johnson who have already lived there lives out as an highly professional criminal and gotten rich off of it. [citation needed]

If you are using Blender you can do quite a bit of stuff when it comes to mapping. I've used it before not for 'mapping' per-say although I did take a relief (normal) map and made a 3D rendering. This can be used as a bases for your map.
I didn't know there was a place here for that though.
With a bit of work you can create quite a bit of stuff with 3D software. From a mapping standpoint though you will be working back and forth 2D and 3D to get the map to look as you would like it too.
If you aren't picky about how your location will look. You can use a cloud filter to start with in your 2D software and then using Blender you can have your 'normal' map deform a mesh then you can add your water table till you get the land form you like. After lighting the land form you can then export that rendering back to a 2D program to complete the process. That's what I did anyway. You can of course do the same thing in a 2D program but with the 3D you can make changes faster and can adjust if you want to later. You can as you have the same structure in both 2D and 3D add other elements to your 3D map (buildings and trees). There are even plugins to help you build cities (streets and buildings) if you like. You can work in perspective or orthographic. Orthographic would make a better map as that doesn't work with vanishing points.

Lexington, Mass.: another muni candidate
Decade-long effort remains underway, despite roadblocks
Boulder, Colo. has been "lawyering up" in anticipation of doing battle with Xcel Energy over the city's interest in forming a municipal utility.
Last week, Boulder announced it had selected a law firm to deal with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which would referee the value of Xcel's Boulder-related assets, for which Boulderites would have to pay. Just prior to that move, Boulder had hired a different law firm to deal with "potential" condemnation proceedings, should Xcel elect not to sell its Boulder assets to the city. (Few believe that Xcel will willingly sell its assets and kiss Boulder goodbye, as that account is said to bring in $100 million annually in revenue.)
We've covered this case pretty thoroughly over the past year. See the latest, which contains links to earlier pieces, in "Wanted: Smart Grid from Scratch" and an older column, "Boulder Rejects Xcel."
But another long-running municipalization effort has been percolating for a decade in Massachusetts, driven by locals who compared rates and reliability for the state's 41 municipal utilities and the region's large investor-owned utilities and found the latter wanting.
You may recall that we wrote about the outlines of this story last fall in "Outages Drive Smart Grid, and Muni Legislation."
Starting ten years ago, the Massachusetts Alliance for Municipal Electric Choice has promoted changes to archaic state laws over a century old that would modernize the state's statutes and allow a clearer path to municipalization, should a Massachusetts city or town decide to pursue it.
This effort got a major boost last fall when Hurricane Irene-turned-tropical-storm struck the region, followed by an early snowstorm that wreaked havoc on tree limbs that downed power lines, in a familiar scenario. Whereas the state's investor-owned utilities took up to a week to restore power in a well-publicized situation, the state's municipal utilities were back online in days, according to local reports.
Obviously, that's a general statement and the proponents and opponents of change in Massachusetts are busy arguing the issue. We know that scale in the form of hundreds and thousands of miles of power lines can bedevil a large organization. But proponents of municipalization in Massachusetts argue that they have the metrics to bolster their position, such as the fact that the number of linemen per resident is significantly higher among the state's munis and the latter's customers pay significantly lower rates than at the region's IOUs. Apples to apples comparisons of outage data is difficult to create, because munis aren't subject to reporting metrics similar to IOUs.
Thus a battle over municipalization has been joined. And it gets rejoined every two years because any bill not passed by the state's legislature must be reintroduced. The bill to streamline and modernize the municipalization process has been filed five times in 10 years. (Do the math.) The mechanisms for the bill's failure over time appear to vary. But the bill's preliminary passage by one Massachusetts joint committee last month contained mysterious language suddenly making significant demands on local munis—a provision certain to doom its passage by the very communities that have already municipalized.
I've painted this issue today in broad strokes, because there are several parties involved—local activists bent on enabling their communities to determine their own energy future, IOUs that want to protect their bread-and-butter and have their own arguments against municipalization, a lineman's union that believes further municipalization would hurt, not help, employment and others, including a raft of legislators, each with a campaign money trail and their own parochial interests. No need to call anyone out until I've plumbed the depths of this issue.
Oh, and one other thing. In a story reminiscent of the debacle that PG&E created for itself when it fought a ballot initiative for municipalization in California, the New England Center for Investigative Reporting put out a story last October, "Power Play: Utility Companies Pull Plug on Competition," that documented the massive lobbying dollars that the region's IOUs spent to defeat the municipal power bill. Give it a read.
And then ask yourself why we've written extensively for the last two years on the miserable level of trust between ratepayers—I mean, "customers"—and publicly traded utilities.
Phil Carson
Intelligent Utility Daily
The Rise of Community Energy
Phil, I greatly appreciate your coverage of these efforts by communiities to find their voice in the emerging energy debate. Currently, most city leaders who have a beef with energy in their communities find municipalization to be the logical route: "The IOU is not meeting our local needs - we could do a better job."
Marin, Boulder, Lexington - even consumer resistance to smart grid - share a common desire by local communities - consumers and their leadership - to exercise local control over their energy futures. The term Community Energy captures this sentiment and is broader than Municipalization. Community Energy includes distributed energy resources (energy efficiency, energy management systems, PV, micro turbines, micro wind, EVs, energy storage, microgrids), as well as new business models that promote collective energy planning and action.
Where a Smart Grid focuses on modernizing utility infrastructure, and a Smart Cty focuses on modernizing municipal infrastructure, a Community Energy effort focuses on local enagement to to integrate real estate with infrastructure and community life to create Smart Districts, a complementary path to both Smart Grids and Smart Cities.
John Cooper, President, Ecomergence
Another Point Of Interest in Massachusetts
Another interesting point in the Massachusetts events is the growing concern about grid maintenance. The municipalities have a higher number of linemen per 10,000 customers than do the IOUs' and the state has seen a quadrupling of outage frequencies involving large numbers of customers over the last 5 years.
John Sterman, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, has been quoted as saying "The US electric grid is failing. From 1991 to 1995 there were 41 outages affecting more than 50,000 customers each, but nearly 350 from 2005 to 2009". This like the growing outage issues in Illinois are causing states to take a much harder look at utility resource practices. More people are raising the question if utilities are sacrificing maintenance to save cost and if the results are starting to catch up to them.

Jesse W. Johnson
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - "I know I keep saying this, but it's still probably too early to tell. I've been pleased with what we're doing. The thing that I've probably noticed more than anything is that we have some good players, we just don't have great depth and that's where we have to do a better job in recruiting and develop more of the players we have here. That's probably the thing that's stood out the most." "I think what we did today was a little bit different. We did some more of what I call teach tempos, kind of like a pro practice. We've got some depth issues, we've got a couple of guys banged up and what I want to make sure is that we have an opportunity learn, get better and be able to scrimmage well on Saturday. Although I'm a young guy, I feel like I have an old school mentality, so I have a hard time coming out here and not going full speed and fly around, but at the same time, I do think you can get some learning done if the guys understand how to practice and store the same body language, same fundamentals, all the same things during teach tempo." on the huddle"I think the biggest thing on offense, defense and special teams is to be aggressive and multiple. So I'm a believer if you lineup no huddle all the time, people get used to that tempo, so you want to go no huddle, regular huddle, get to line and look to the sidelines to change the tempo, check with me at the line of scrimmage. You want to be as multiple as you can and that means personnel, means tempos and everything. We're going to do the same things on defense, multiple fronts, multiple pressures, same thing with special teams. We just want to be as multiple and aggressive as we possibly can." on Larry"I just think whenever you have a guy that has played in the games and had some success, it gives you something to build on. The other thing I've been pleased with is that he's got a lot of tools. He's a big strong kid, he's smart, got a real strong arm, got good athleticism. You'd recruit that kid every single year. Now I'm real excited because we have an opportunity as a coaching staff to develop him and that's why they brought us here." scrimmage on Saturday"I want to continue to compete. I thought we did that last Saturday, I think we've done that all spring long. When we go into that stadium, it should be something special, so I want to see them compete, get after each other. What we have to do is start to eliminate the missed assignments, the mental errors, the fumbled snaps, the dropped passes, the dropped interceptions. When we've have a chance to make a play, we've got to make it. We've got to eliminate all the things that we can control." Dexter"It's a combination of things. We're trying to find a way to get our best guys on the field and the other thing is we have some depth issues. We've got some guys banged up, we only had three defensive ends at practice today, so we're looking around the depth chart and looking at say the guy that's further down the depth chart at linebacker and say that maybe he can help us. He's got some quickness, he's fairly sudden and he can give us maybe an undersized guy off the edge. I think when I got here, he was 247, so it's not like he can't be 260 if that was his mentality. So we're just trying to find the best way get these guys in the position to help us and find the best way to increase our speed." experience"I think Archie's done some good things, I think Tristan's done some good things. I've been impressed with the group. The other thing we've got to look at is our personnel groups. If we need to be in dime or nickel more to get more speed on the field. It doesn't make sense if your fifth and sixth DB's are better than your second, third or fourth linebacker, lets get our best guys on the field and put them in position to be successful. I think that will also allow us to be faster, so I'm all just for finding the best guys and getting them on the field. Same thing with the offense. People say, what is your offensive philosophy. If my offensive philosophy was get up and just maul people with two backs but then I show up here and we have five wideouts that are better than anybody on the field, what am I not going to play them, just because it's not my philosophy? I don't believe in that, doesn't make any sense to me." "Speed's important at every position. I think we spend too much time talking about specific positions but our goal is to be the fastest team in the SEC. That's from the offensive line to the quarterbacks to the defensive backs, we want to be fast at every position. Obviously, people focus on the receivers because they see it more, or the DB's, but we want to be fast at every position. If I have to choose between size and speed, I'm going to take speed every time." Coach Pry"We're coming along, I think guys are starting to understand our system and get more confidence. There's not a lot of experience behind Marve, but I think that's an opportunity, a good situation actually. You've got two spots and a new staff, so guys can compete and that helps them be more aggressive in learning. We're trying to get three to six guys, we're trying to get more depth and the guys know that, they know where we're at right now. We're trying to get more speed and more confidence. I think right now there's three guys, Chase Garnham, Tristan Strong and Archie Barnes that are making strong cases to go along with Marve. We're just trying to learn the system and get faster and get better as time goes on, I'm confident they can do that." Marve"No question he's great to have. It's good to have someone proven and talented as he is and even with him, I've communicated about some things and he's taking to it. He's a great member of the unit, he is the leader of the unit, those guys look to him from a work ethic stand point and from a maturity stand point. The guy is a triple major, he's just a great guy to have in your room honestly, whether he was a starter in the SEC kind of guy or not, he's just a great guy to have in the room, an older, mature guy." moves"I think a big part of our job is to identify personnel moves that are best for our unit, for our defense. Recognize a kids abilities, recognize his liabilities and where does he fit best. Lets get the full potential out of him at the right spot. It's like Dexter Daniels. We moved him down to defensive end and in two days he's really sparked our interest. Some of the things that looked so poor at linebacker, you don't see anymore because we're not asking him to do that. Some of the better things that he did at linebacker, he gets to do more of. So moves like that are going to be important for us." concern"I think we've got a couple of things going on. We are inexperienced outside of Chris and we are trying to find enough speed at the position, that's still a concern. The guys understand where it's at right now though and they're competing like crazy. I plan on, and Coach Franklin plans on, it being competitive enough when it's really on the line out there and these guys are a little bit battle tested, you know. As we've talked about with No.13, we've got to lean on him for that. That's the times when that leadership really shows, in those balls games where there's tight moments and adversity really hits, that's when those guys step up. "And at the same time, just a strong commitment and dedication from them guys, fighting for positions, when the tough times hit and you're in the battle, they'll stick by you and stick with each other. You've built that sense of union and that take you through a lot, through those inexperienced times, that will keep you strong and going in the right direction." ...More...

Former game show host Bob Barker is telling North Carolina lawmakers that caging a live possum for a New Year's Eve event in the mountains isn't good show business.
Barker wrote this week to a state Senate committee's members asking them to oppose a bill that would let the organizer of the Brasstown "Possum Drop" keep suspending a possum in a box every Dec. 31 and lowering it gently to the ground.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals complained about the event. A judge ruled state regulators don't have explicit authority to permit the display. A House bill approved this week would change that.
Barker says the event is inhumane and that loopholes for animal abuse shouldn't be created.
PETA released the letter. The 89-year-old Barker is a longtime animal rights activist.

Latest Updates
---Application Deadline May 1 for July 5-15 Retreat Intensive, River's Bend, Philo, CA---
I am delighted to announce the creation of a new on-line journal for the Work That Reconnects community. Thank you Molly Brown and all those who contributed to the first issue, which is available here: workthatreconnects.org
Coming Back To Life: The Updated Guide to the Work That Reconnects
The most remarkable feature of this historical moment on Earth is not that we are on the way to destroying the world � we've actually been on the way for quite a while. It is that we are beginning to wake up, as from a millennia-long sleep, to a whole new relationship to our world, to ourselves and each other.
For up to date information on the nuclear disaster unfolding in Japan: http://www.fairewinds.com | http://fukushima-diary.com | http://survivaljapan.wordpress.com | http://blog.safecast.org/
For peace, justice, and life on Earth, fresh ways of seeing arise, and ancient ways return. This web site opens doors to the new bodies of thought, time-tested spiritual practices, and pioneering group methods, that I find to be powerful inspirations to understanding and action. I share these resources in service to the revolution of our time: the "Great Turning" from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.
In these pages you'll find key aspects of my work:
- its sources in Buddhist teachings, living systems theory, and deep ecology;
- its experiential methods for group learning, known as the Work that Reconnects,
including despair work, deep ecology work, and deep time work;
- information about workshops and trainings;
- empowering ideas, such as Nuclear Guardianship;
- practices for inspiration and renewal, such as the Council of All Beings and the Elm Dance;
- and we include here a link to our new song and celebration sister site: Songs For The Great Turning.
Partake and use for the healing of our world!
Donations will be used to provide scholarships for people to attend Joanna's workshops.

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
Ambulatory care. Ambulatory care is care given in the doctor's office or surgical center without an overnight stay.
Authorization. Authorization is the approval of care, such as hospitalization, by an insurer or health plan. Your insurer or health plan may require pre-authorization before you're admitted or non-HMO providers treat you.
Balance billing. Balance billing is the practice of a provider billing you for all charges not paid by your insurance plan, even if those charges are above the plan's usual, customary and reasonable (UCR) charges or are considered medically unnecessary. Managed care plans and service plans generally prohibit providers from balance billing except for allowed copayments, coinsurance and deductibles. Such prohibition against balance billing may even extend to the plan's failure to pay at all (for example, because of bankruptcy).
Certification. Certification is the official authorization for use of services.
Claims review. Claims review is the review your insurer or health plan performs before paying your doctor or reimbursing you. This review allows the insurer to validate the medical appropriateness of the services given and review the charges related to your care.
Coordination of benefits (COB). Coordination of benefits is an agreement between your insurers to prevent double payment for your care when more than one plan provides coverage. The agreement determines which insurer has primary responsibility for payment and which has secondary responsibility.
Coinsurance. Coinsurance is a provision that limits an insurer's coverage to a certain percentage, commonly 80 percent. This provision is common among indemnity insurance plans and preferred provider plans. If your insurance includes coinsurance, you'll be responsible for charges beyond those covered by your insurance.
Copayment. Copayment is the portion of a claim or medical expense that you must pay out-of-pocket. Copayment usually is a fixed amount.
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT-4) codes. Medical professionals use this set of five-digit codes for billing.
Deductible. A deductible is the portion of your health care expenses that you must pay before your insurance applies.
Diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). DRGs are a system of classifying inpatient stays for payment. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services uses DRGs to derive standard reimbursement rates for medical procedures and to pay hospitals for Medicare recipients. Some states use DRGs for all payers, and some private health plans use DRGs for contracting.
Explanation of benefits (EOB). An explanation of benefits is a statement mailed to an insured person noting how a claim was paid or why it wasn't covered. Medicare recipients receive a Medicare Summary Notice (MSN).
Fee schedule. A fee schedule is a list of the maximum fee that a health plan will pay for each service based on CPT-4 billing codes. Some plans refer to it as fee maximums or as a fee allowance schedule.
HCFA 1500 form. The HCFA 1500 form is required by Medicare and used by some private insurance companies and managed care plans for billing.
Health maintenance organization (HMO). An HMO can be defined in several ways: 1. An organization that provides health care to members in return for a preset amount of money. 2. A health plan that places at least some of the care providers at risk of medical expenses. 3. A health plan that uses primary care doctors to determine whether members receive care from specialists (although some HMOs don't).
International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes. ICD codes are an international disease classification system used in diagnosis and treatment.
Managed health care. Managed health care refers to a system of health care delivery that tries to manage the costs and quality of health care and access to care. It often involves use of contracted provider networks, limitations on benefits for care given by noncontracted providers (unless authorized to do so) and use of care authorization systems. Managed care includes managed indemnity plans, preferred provider organizations, point-of-service plans, open-panel HMOs and closed-panel HMOs.
Medicaid. Medicaid is a program financed jointly by the federal government and the states that provides health care coverage and nursing home care for low-income people. Benefits vary widely from state to state.
Medicare. Medicare is the federal program insuring people age 65 and older and people who have disabilities of all ages. Medicare Part A covers hospitalization and is a compulsory benefit. Medicare Part B covers outpatient services and is a voluntary benefit.
Medigap. Medigap is private insurance that supplements Medicare reimbursement for medical services. Medicare often reimburses care at lower rates than those charged by doctors. Medigap is meant to cover the gap between Medicare reimbursement and provider charges so that the Medicare recipient doesn't have to pay the difference.
Per diem reimbursement. In per diem reimbursement, an institution such as a hospital receives a set rate per day rather than reimbursement for charges for each service provided. Per diem reimbursement can vary by service (for example, medical or surgical, obstetrics, mental health and intensive care) or can be a set rate.
Point-of-service (POS) plan. A point-of-service plan is one in which members don't have to choose the coverage for services until they need them. Most often, the plan enrolls each member in both an HMO (or HMO-like) system and an indemnity plan. These plans provide different benefits depending on whether the member stays within the plan. Dual choice refers to an HMO-like plan with an indemnity plan, and triple choice refers to the addition of a PPO to the dual choice.
Pre-admission certification. Pre-admission certification is the practice of reviewing requests for hospital admission before you actually enter the hospital.
Pre-certification. Pre-certification also is known as pre-admission certification, pre-admission review and pre-cert. It refers to the process of obtaining authorization from the health plan for routine hospital admissions (inpatient or outpatient). Failure to obtain pre-certification often results in reduced reimbursement or denial of claims.
Preferred provider organization (PPO). Preferred provider organizations contract with independent providers for services. The doctors in a PPO are paid on a fee-for-service schedule that is discounted below standard fees. The panel of providers is limited, and the PPO usually reviews health care utilization. PPO members sometimes can use a doctor outside the PPO network, but usually must pay a bigger portion of the fee.
Provider. A provider is any supplier of health care services such as doctors, pharmacists, physical therapists and others.
Self-insured plan. In self-insured (self-funded) plans, the employer (rather than an insurance company or managed care plan) assumes the risk of medical costs. Self-funded plans are exempt from state laws and regulations such as insurance premium taxes and mandatory benefits. Self-funded plans often contract with insurance companies or third-party administrators to administer the benefits.
Skilled nursing facility (SNF). A skilled nursing facility generally is an institution for convalescence or a nursing home. Skilled nursing facilities provide a high level of specialized care for long-term or acute illness.
Third-party administrator (TPA). Third-party administrators handle the administrative duties and sometimes utilization review for self-funded plans.
Usual, customary or reasonable (UCR) charge. Usual, customary or reasonable charges reflect the prevailing fees for service in an area. Many insurers and managed care plans reimburse providers based on UCR charges. This term may be synonymous with a fee allowance schedule.
