A penalty of $92,400 has been proposed
COLUMBUS -- The company that makes Budweiser and Bud Light beers has been cited for serious safety violations, and a penalty of $92,400 has been proposed.
Anheuser-Busch's citations include two repeated and eight serious violations following an inspection of the brewery's ammonia refrigeration system by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The violations were cited under OSHA's Process Safety Management Standards, which contain specific requirements for managing highly hazardous chemicals in work processes. One such chemical is anhydrous ammonia, widely used as a refrigerant in industrial facilities, including breweries. Ammonia can be a health hazard because it is corrosive to the skin, eyes and lungs. It is a flammable vapor.
"Anheuser-Busch has a responsibility to ensure the safe operation of its refrigeration systems by implementing an engineering process for the detection and control of potential ammonia systems releases," said Deborah Zubaty, OSHA's area director in Columbus. "Exposure to ammonia can have serious health consequences. Failure of these systems, such as overpressurization, can result in explosion and fire. Workers should not be put at risk because this company failed to implement the required protections."
Anheuser-Busch issued the following statement Tuesday afternoon:
At Anheuser-Busch, safety is our top priority and we have an exemplary safety record. We have comprehensive safety and environment management systems which we continuously improve.
As part of our safety and environment management systems, employees of the Columbus brewery take every measure to provide a safe work environment for each other and the communities around us.
We have been fully cooperating with OSHA during their inquiry of our processes. We are disappointed with the citations from OSHA and do not agree with the substance or classification of the claims alleged. Safety is always our top priority and we look forward to working with OSHA to further improve our systems and resolve this matter.
The Feb. 4 inspection found the Anheuser-Busch plant failed to develop procedures for normal and emergency shutdown and restarting refrigeration systems, according to OSHA. The company's process hazard analysis failed to address the dangers of overpressurization and ammonia release completely, and failed to address engineering controls and their potential failure. In addition, the company did not install ammonia detection systems or a continuous emergency ventilation system, OSHA said.
An OSHA violation is serious if death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard an employer knew or should have known exists.
The company was issued two repeat citations for failing to document properly the ammonia refrigeration system and the building ventilation design for use in emergencies. The company failed to document the design for a suction header pressure relief system adequately. The company was cited for similar violations in 2010 at a brewery in Cartersville, Georgia.
The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA's area director or contest the findings.

Next we'll turn to the "Working Strategies" column from the June 22nd issue of the St. Paul Pioneer Press titled: "The Dark Horse Candidate Need Not be Out of the Running." By Amy Lindgren.
It's been a few weeks since California Chrome captured the national imagination by winning two of three major races in American horse racing. With a third victory, he would have joined the elite group of Triple Crown winners.
While much of the spotlight has been focused on this last race, I've been more interested in the upset achieved in the first two contests. Since I frequently use the term "dark horse" to describe job candidates who make an unlikely but successful bid for positions they aren't favored for, I'm happy to have a timely reminder of the term's origins.
According to Wikipedia, "dark horse" began as horse racing parlance to describe a contender unknown to gamblers, making it a difficult horse to place betting odds on. Merriam Webster Dictionary provides the more universal definition of a contestant that seems unlikely to succeed.
So, in honor of California Chrome and his trainers, owners and jockey, let's look at those times when you might be the unexpected favorite for a job. There are three circumstances in which a candidate might achieve dark horse status. Each situation differs enough from the others to demand its own set of strategies.
1. If you have connections to someone in the company, you might be perceived as the "came out of nowhere" candidate to those who don't know you.
While my career counseling colleagues and I are quick to advise using connections to get an interview, we often omit the next stage of advice: How to handle your special status as the known-to-someone candidate once you're in the meeting.
Every situation will have its own contours, based on such variables as the title of the person sponsoring your candidacy and whether you were moved ahead of someone inside the company. For that reason, your most versatile strategy will be to respect the process. Although you are apparently being ushered to the front of the line, you can't afford to take anything for granted.
So prepare for the interviews as intently as you would any other time and focus on proving your benefactor right. Refrain from dropping your sponsor's name too frequently, or you'll cultivate the opinion that your merits aren't noteworthy on their own.
2. If you've been working in the company in an unrelated capacity -- perhaps as an assistant in a different department -- your candidacy for the job may catch people by surprise.
Being a known commodity can be a formidable hurdle, as you must build on what people already know about you while also overcoming their conflicting perceptions of your skills.
To succeed as this type of dark horse candidate, you will need to re-introduce yourself to the decision makers. That means adopting the language of their discipline, structuring your resume to reframe your experience, and even changing your image to look the part.
It will help if you anticipate the cognitive dissonance internal interviewers might experience by describing how you developed the skills you're now seeking to use: "Although I've been working as a secretary for the lab, I've also been completing my marketing degree and working on web projects for a local nonprofit. I think my training and volunteer experience make a good combination with my knowledge of the company ... "
3. If you are an outside applicant who is more impressive than the internal candidate everyone assumed would get the job.
Now here's a real minefield. If you surprise the committee by turning a sham process into a real horse race, you can count on making some enemies before you even begin working. Some on the committee will be genuinely pleased to have competition to the heir apparent, while others will be genuinely annoyed.
If you perceive this is the situation, you will need to tread carefully, both in the interview and later when you come on board.
That concludes the "Working Strategies" column from the June 22nd issue of the St. Paul Pioneer Press titled: "The Dark Horse Candidate Need Not be Out of the Running," by Amy Lindgren. I'm Anne Obst.

Nothing New and Some DisappointmentsLleris | Jan. 26, 2014 | Review of Batman Arkham Origins - PC
To be straight up honest, you're better off with Arkham City. That game has pretty much everything this game does. In fact, Origins feels more awkward to handle in terms of controls (sneaking feels more difficult than it did in Arkham City, along with stealth takedowns) and also has its fair share of bugs (like the infamous Enigma tower one). It's not all bad - the game is at least on the playing level of its predecessors, even if it does have its own kinks and bugs. Storyline is fine and workable, nothing special. But damn, the boss fights are less than spectacular (particularly Deathstroke's fight where you just click a routine set of buttons to defeat him, zzz...) and most are pretty much a retake on boss battles from City and/or Asylum. Multiplayer is a neat add-on, but really nothing more than just to kill time. Worth playing, but isn't really what makes the game. Overall a decent game, I guess, but I feel like it was way overhyped and nothing new was really added to the game. I'm really glad I got it on sale and not full price.
Simple Shoot and Kill Chaos!Lleris | Oct. 24, 2013 | Review of Borderlands - Xbox 360
Just pure unadulterated awesomeness! This amazing graphical style of game, partnered with simple and straightforward shoot&loot style makes for an awesome combination. Storyline was fairly intriguing as well, though some say the end boss was lacking. I'm not of this opinion. The only reason I don't give this a higher rating is because BL2 needed a higher score for more awesomeness.
RevelationsLleris | Oct. 23, 2013 | Review of Assassins Creed Revelations - Xbox 360
There's not much more added than what was in Brotherhood (which I consider to be the best of the franchise), but there are additions nonetheless which are fun. It's pretty much everything you loved about Brotherhood but just that bit more... and the fact that you're elsewhere. The Altair sequences can drag on a little bit, but otherwise a very solid game. Having said that, I still prefer the Brotherhood setting.
Just... Wow.Lleris | Oct. 23, 2013 | Review of FEAR Overflow 1 - PC
This game had me absorbed from the moment I stepped into the game. At times I could feel my heart pumping in my chest. Very few other games give me a thrill as this one does. It's extremely intensive, so not for the light-hearted to play. I often had to take breaks because the game was just that intensive and absorbing. Graphics are pretty top notch (especially considering when they came out), storyline is compelling. Weapon options are straightforward and understandable, so you can simply get down to what you have guns for: shooting. The weapon options are otherwise limiting, but I've never really found this a problem. Extra weapons are a plus in a game, but if they're not in the game, I'm not too concerned. Visuals blend quite flawlessly between gameplay and cutscenes, which I really enjoy in games. Anyway, well worth a buy, even nearly a decade after its release.
Ingenious!Lleris | Oct. 11, 2013 | Review of Dishonored Steam - PC
This is stealth gaming at its best. The storyline is immersive and mechanics are pretty much flawless once you get used to them. It really makes you feel like a real assassin and the possibilities or enacting a mission are extremely flexible. I also think you should play at the hardest difficulty from the very start, even if you're a beginner. For once, it doesn't make the game ridiculously frustrating, but even more rewarding. The only downside to this game is that it's an extremely short game, which pretty much precipitates that you have to get the DLC. However, with the release of the GotY edition, this problem is pretty much solved. I would not recommend you buy the original, you MUST get the GotY edition.
A Gratifyingly Good GameLleris | Oct. 9, 2013 | Review of Deus Ex Human Revolution Limited Edition - PC DVD
This is basically what should have come out instead of Invisible War. Storyline was generally good, if predictable, even with all the choices you have to make, I felt the outcomes were generally easy to figure out. Gameplay is solid with a few amusing glitches and bugs which generally won't really detract from the gaming experience but add a few good laughs instead. Just a quick note that killing people in the first section of the game does actually count towards your Pacifier achievement! Anyway, good game. Not perfect or amazing, but certainly well worth a purchase.
What a Revival!Lleris | Oct. 9, 2013 | Review of Tomb Raider overflow 4 - PC
Great game indeed! Solid in virtually every aspect, the game brings challenges and puzzles that are satisfying to solve, action and shooting which is more than comparable to other shooters, and a great storyline to tie it all together. Whilst the plotline was actually quite predictable at parts (which I really don't like in puzzle-based plots and games), the story was still very immersive and the experience was immensely gratifying. Multiplayer is solid as well, but nothing particularly special and doesn't really bring anything new to the table that other games don't already do (and usually better). I don't feel it's a must-have game, but certainly a nice one to add to your game lists if you have the money and/or time to spare.
Simply AmazingLleris | Oct. 9, 2013 | Review of Batman Arkham Asylum - PlayStation 3
Fluid gameplay, solid graphics and a solid storyline that's easily accessible to even newcomers to the DC Universe franchise (but seriously though, really?). The only thing I felt held Arkham Asylum back is the fact that the gameplay area was just generally quite smaller than most other games. Arkham City which came after it had the right size, but perhaps it was a shortcoming to set it in such a small area of the Batman universe. Perhaps they could have made the Asylum bigger by adding extra floors to it and such. Otherwise, the game is a solid one with no major floors or bugs or glitches.
Disappointment Abounds!Lleris | Oct. 7, 2013 | Review of Assassins Creed 3 - PC
To put it simply, I expected more. Having played the entire PC franchise up until that point, I expected it to be much more of the same fun with new extras. Not only did they fail to do this, but they actually took away much of it! Whilst you get woodlands to traverse with your free-running, the buildings have all but disappeared. No more scaling buildings the size of the Pantheon and with most (if not all) of your time spent on the ground, a critical aspect of AC is lost. The storyline felt rushed and forced in some places, and it just felt completely disjointed in some places. And my dear God, the glitches and bugs. Soldiers with no line of sight to me would frequently spot me, the main character would frequently have trouble climbing over what is otherwise an easy obstacle every other time, soldiers would often never lose alertness of me despite me being hidden (they just end up standing there forever with full alert over their heads telling me to show myself and whatnot). Character-relationship development was next to none, unlike the very charming Ezio and enigmatic Altair. It's not all doom and gloom - it still retains some nice missions, most of which is reminiscent of its predecessors, some of which are actually more fun. Some of the new tools are pretty neat to work with as well. Navy warfare was amazing, which actually feels a bit silly, since it seems like it has nothing to do with assassinations (although this looks set to change with AC:IV coming out). Overall, the only real reason to buy AC:III is simply to see the advancement of the AC series. In all due honesty, if you want to have fun playing the game, you're better off with AC:II, Brotherhood and Revelations. My score is actually elevated, since I know I got extremely frustrated with the amount of nonsense I felt I had to put up with. As a result, I felt that someone who was just coming to buy a stand-alone game might still very well enjoy it had they not played the predecessors, but looking in the long line of AC franchise, AC:III felt unfinished and is just a general failure. You might as well just read the synopsis on Wikipedia and keep playing AC:II+Extensions in my honest opinion. This game really isn't worth your time. To phrase it all in a sentence: I found the mini-games inside AC:III (checkers and similar board games) far more entertaining than the actual game itself. If you're thinking something like that, it doesn't bode well for the game.
A ClassicLleris | Oct. 7, 2013 | Review of The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Game of the Year Edition Deluxe - PC
By this time, Oblivion's reputation is really enough to speak for itself. An amazing game which you can just play again and again and again. If anything sets the benchmark for fantasy RPGs, it's the Elder Scroll series. Time and time again, they create immersing worlds for us to enter and in my humble opinion, Oblivion is the best (or, it certainly is my favourite). You do not even need a remote interest in RPGs to be recommended this game. This is a game that is easily good for everyone to play (age ratings aside, of course). Just get the damn game.
Don't Leave This Behind!Lleris | Oct. 7, 2013 | Review of Left 4 Dead 2 - PC DVD
A simply amazing game. Although at the time of writing this review, the game may perhaps be a tad bit dated, I still have great fun playing it. The gameplay is simple and straightforward, so you can focus all your efforts on zombie-slayin' or making sure the survivors become extinct. Though campaigns can easily be run through in a day or two, the strength in this game is the replayability and multiplayer. You can also find unofficial downloadable mods which give your more maps, skin designs and weapon designs and more! The plethora of game modes are sure to keep you occupied. Simple unadulterated action!
Simply a Solid GameLleris | Oct. 7, 2013 | Review of Dragon Age 2 - PC
Now, many will gripe over how it wasn't better than Origins. Having played both, I agree in many senses that Origins was better. However, there was very little in Dragon Age 2 that I didn't enjoy. The storyline was satisfying and left me in great anticipation for DA3. Gameplay was mostly fluid and suffered no major problems for me. There may have been a few bugs and glitches here and there, but even Skyrim and Oblivion had these in their immense worlds. I think it is due to the fact that I played 2 before Origins which leaves me without the stigma of disappointment. Is Origins better than 2? Yes. Does this prevent 2 from being an awesome game? By no means. Perhaps you expected more after playing Origins, but in all due honesty, it's not a bad game if you look at it as a stand-alone game.
A Solid 10/10 GameLleris | Oct. 7, 2013 | Review of Batman Arkham City Game of the Year Overflow 1 - PC
There's just not much about it that's bad. Solid and fluid fighting, as well as the fun roaming. To top it all off, the storyline is fantastic. There may be minor frustrations here and there over where your grappling hook actually landed or the mis-timing of a counter-attack, but these things aside, this game is thoroughly enjoyable and is easily one of the best games around. Replayability also isn't a big issue, since there are lots of collectibles to occupy your time.
Ridiculous Fun!Lleris | Oct. 7, 2013 | Review of Saints Row The Third - PC DVD
A free roam world with whacky weapons and vehicles! Whilst you are pretty much in god-mode 24/7 and some of the authorities can be quite annoying when you get later into the game, along with the zombie hoards which can be, quite frankly, very annoying, the game is immensely enjoyable. The storyline is amusing to say the least. Customization of your character is numerous and fun with some ridiculous designs! Replayability is pretty big, since there are a few choices in the game which can affect consequences and endings in the game and it's always fun to see how things can turn out with difference decisions. Whored mode is a simple run-of-the-mill survival if you feel like a change of pace. Since I haven't played SR2, I cannot compare the two, but suffice it to say, SR3 was great fun and I'm playing it still. If you're looking for something a bit more serious, then I would suggest you go for GTA instead, though I really don't understand why you wouldn't want something this over the top!

Standing on Its Head
Why the technical "standing" issue properly decides the gay marriage appeal.
Also in Slate, Emily Bazelon sizes up the oral arguments in the Prop. 8 appeals case.
The Great California Gay Marriage Case of 2010 is over, and gay marriage won. In fact, it was over last summer when the state officials decided not to appeal.
Today's argument in the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, Perry v. Schwarzenegger, was divided into a one-hour broccoli course about "standing," followed by a dessert of arguments on the constitutional merits of gay marriage. The latter was a lot more interesting, but I'll write here about the first hour because I believe that the standing issue should ultimately decide the whole case.
The standing issue has enough complexities to fill an entire law school course in civil procedure. But the simple, bottom line point is that California's ban on gay marriage, enacted by the voters as Proposition 8, is ultimately doomed because Gov. Schwarzenegger and Attorney General Brown declined to appeal Judge Vaughn Walker's decision last August striking it down. And the people who have stepped forward to attempt to appeal the decision in their stead lack a "personal stake" in the outcome of this litigation. The appellate court has no jurisdiction to review a judgment that has not been appealed by the real defendants.
To a lot of people—including perhaps two of the judges sitting on today's argument—this just doesn't seem fair. The process of lawmaking by popular referendum was designed as a way for people to bypass state officials and amend their state constitution at the ballot box. Here the people did so, and yet after a single judge ruled against the result of the referendum, the state officials who never liked Propostion 8 in the first place simply declined to appeal that ruling. Is that all it takes to thwart the will of the people? One of the judges asked that very question today.
Fair or unfair, however, a federal appellate court has no authority to hear an appeal when the real party/defendant doesn't want to keep defending the lawsuit anymore. And that is the case we have here. Two groups of people sought today to provide the defense of "traditional marriage" that the governor and the Attorney General had declined to advance. The first were "official proponents"—the citizens who had supported the passage of the Proposition 8 referendum enshrining opposite-sex-only marriage in the state constitution. The second were county supervisors and a deputy clerk from Imperial County who wish to deny licenses to same-sex couples. But neither had been sued, and neither had any legal stake in the outcome of the case.
The short answer as to why the deputy clerk from conservative Imperial County couldn't appeal is that she was not a party to the case and is not bound by the judgment. If she refuses to issue a license to a same-sex couple, she could not be held in contempt of Judge's Walker's order. She might well be bound by some forthcoming ruling of the state attorney general, but that doesn't give her the right to challenge a trial court judgment that doesn't apply to her at present.

MANKATO, Minn. - A fire has gutted a YMCA indoor skate park in Mankato.
The fire at the Chesley Roller Sport Park was reported shortly after 9:30 a.m. Saturday. It was fully engulfed by the time firefighters arrived at the park, which is just down the block from a fire station.
For the hoodie-wearing teens who call the skate park their home away from home, The Free Press reports that witnessing the scene was like watching the slow death of a very dear friend. Some shed tears, others exchanged hugs. Most stood and watched the spectacle silently.
Nobody was inside when the fire started. The park is owned by the Mankato Family YMCA, After a month-long closure for renovations, the center was just about to reopen. Discussions about rebuilding already have begun.

The Rock as Green Lantern
The studios were not pleased with the Green Lantern movie that Ryan Reynolds starred in, and they have been looking into ways to revive the franchise as quick as possible. They knew that they needed someone even more popular to bank on. Hollywood turned to The Rock. He was the first choice to star in the reboot, but the WWE legend turned them down because he has long had his heart set on playing the Black Adam character instead.

The Rock in GI Joe 3
When GI Joe: Retaliation came out in theaters, it faced mixed reactions, so many wondered if the series would continue, even though the film generated more than $200 million in profits. It looks like Hollywood is going to take another gamble on the series, and a big part of why they're comfortable enough to do so is because The Rock has agreed to star in the third edition of the movie. His character of Roadblock will be the centerpiece.

Gay Vampire
See more » Images
From the title you'd expect Gay Vampire to be a queer horror novel. I suspicion is that vampire is used metaphorically. The man isn't looking to suck the youth's blood but - let us say that he's seeking to recruit him into that gay agenda that homophobes seem to know so much more about than I do. And I thought I was a charter member.

Fear that proposed tax hikes could put our recovery in jeopardy, or that the employment picture was being falsely represented may have kept you out of the market this year. The S&P 500 is up 26% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average 23% through Friday's close. The real fear in 2013, which many portfolio managers and hedge funds are now facing, was being underinvested.
Two years ago there was serious concern the U.S. was becoming Greece, which was in the process of becoming bankrupt. Obama's first term was nearing its end and each party's fight for the presidency seemed to trump millions of Americans' fight for a job. In August 2011, amid our government's inability to govern and a fiery debt ceiling debate, Standard & Poor's downgraded the United States' credit rating from AAA for the first time in history, to AA+.
We all know how this story played out: Yields on our debt actually declined as the downgrade-inspired fear caused a flight to safety. But two years ago there was a legitimate and palpable concern we would not get our act together.
The fear going into 2012 was our ever-expanding budget deficit and our economy's prospective inability to get people working (and spending). The S&P 500 was up 14.51% and the Dow 8% for the year; long-dated Treasury Bonds were up over 33% thanks to the aforementioned fears. The unemployment rate at the end of 2011 was still 8.5%, though very few believed it was headed lower at the time.
Three years ago the concern was the European Union was doomed -- at least one of its members was certainly headed for insolvency and Germany wasn't going to take it anymore. Despite the fact that our stock market had bounced nearly 100% from the March 2009 bottom, the DJIA was at 11,600, well below its October 2007 high north of 14,000.
Our recovery was shaky at best at that point, and both residential and commercial real estate prices were still falling. If you had excellent credit and were looking to buy a new home at the end of 2010, your bank was at least polite in telling you "No." Things were really not looking good. While headlines warned that another recession was possible, it was clear to just about everyone that we were still in one.
The fear going into 2011 was that our stock market was merely experiencing a dead-cat bounce, and that we were headed straight back down for something far worse than 2008-2009. The S&P 500 finished the year down 1%, the DJIA up 5% and nationwide unemployment was at 9.3%.

The Dragon Got Me ThinkingSo I was praying to become a werewolf tonight. Yes, I'm on that bandwagon. I gave up on becoming a vampire because the spirit expected something of me I wasn't prepared to give. I started seeing visions of wolves. Which gave me the idea about becoming a werewolf. Something about the wolf is not a part of my soul even though I like nice doggies. When I asked myself if the wolf was right for me, I found that rare angelic spirit The Dragon show up. Now this got me thinking, was I a dragon and all the questions one would think about dragons. I believe I was a dragon in my past life. The reason why is because in an astral trip to heaven I took on a few spiritual transformations such as angelic, dragonic (draconic?). I believe I have been alive as a human before as well. I believe that all spirits are human inside. I believe in reincarnation in the form of spirits and creatures. Now I'm not fond of the idea on all days, but other days it's so spiritually amazing to think of coming back as a fly or something for a few weeks!
Thanks for listening,
Cool:D I really want to do astral trips one night. I ask my spirit guides before going to sleep almost every night...maybe one day:D
...LMAO no I am NOT praising them,
But those who think themselves hybrids and otherkin,
Only further their agenda that there are stargods (reptiles) out there that's ruling this world...
If the otherkin BS can be seen as TRUTH,

About this cartoon, Bob says ...
For you readers new to the area or with a newly formed political consciousness, let us review the scandals.
Former Mayor of Waterbury Phil Giordano was sent to prison as a pervert child molester.
Former Mayor Joe Ganim was sent to prison for being a garden variety crook a la John Rowland.
Former Mayor Stephen Gionfriddo of Middletown is about to be disbarred and/or possibly jailed for fraud to finance his humongous casino gambling problem.
And current Bridgeport Mayor John Fabrizi has admitted to a cocaine addiction.
This all makes Mayor Eddie Perez of Hartford look pretty darn good in spite of his shortcomings, like being unable to control gun violence in the capital city.
Which reminds me: The winner of the "Give Eddie Perez a Metaphorical Cartoon Name Contest" is Al May, who suggested Don Quixote. Consider it done, Al, and as promised, heaps of praise on you.
Way to go Al! You're the best, Al! You da man!

Otay, here's the deal. For the past few years (at least since 2000's Nutty Professor II), all humans have been clamoring for Eddie Murphy to get back to what made his comedy work so well: sarcasm, a little edge and Samuel L. Jackson robbing a McDonald's knock-off with a shotgun. Now...

Just do itPeople commit some ridiculous acts for charity—going extreme distances or making sacrifices, and launching door-to-door crusades for pledges. It's always, "I'll do 'X crazy thing' if you donate to 'X organization'." And as a college student, these kinds of fundraisers usually work much better than scraping my backpack for loose change.
I'm running the Chicago Marathon in October, so naturally, that was the first thing that came to my mind in response to Hurricane Katrina: I'll run 26.2 miles if you donate to the Red Cross Relief Fund.
But then I thought—Why would someone need my pledge in order to donate to hurricane victims? Suppose I didn't run 26.2 miles… "Oh, sorry, Nicole. You stopped at 25. I'll need that check back."
Unlike other charitable campaigns, there is no need to raise awareness here. We all know what's going on, and we shouldn't need incentive to help. This is not about parading around with banners or standing on our heads with a donation can. If it works for you to write a check, do it. If you have boxes of clothes lying around, send them. Personally, I'm donating my used running shoes to an organization called Share Your Soles, www.shareyoursoles.org. But whatever you do, don't wait around for some aspiring marathon runner to tap you on the back.

GenArts Inc. has expanded its visual effects software portfolio (Sapphire, Monsters, Raptors and wondertouch) by acquiring The Foundry's Tinder and Tinderbox plug-ins, and will also collaborate closely to expand the capabilities of the Nuke platform.
Press Release from GenArts
GenArts Inc. has expanded its visual effects software portfolio (Sapphire, Monsters, Raptors and wondertouch) by acquiring The Foundry's Tinder and Tinderbox plug-ins, and will also collaborate closely to expand the capabilities of the Nuke platform.
GenArts will immediately assume all development, sales, marketing and customer support of Tinder and Tinderbox.
According to GenArts CEO Katherine Hays, "There are two overarching dynamics that their customers in the VFX industry are facing: they are keen to reshape their production pipeline and better synchronize host platform and plug-in development.
"In the past, customers like Lucasfilm, Sony Pictures Imageworks and many others were very inwardly focused," Hays says. "They built up to 80% of the proprietary tools that they needed for a given project and purchased the remaining 20%. Today, they really want to flip that ratio. They would prefer to 'standardize' significant portions of their pipeline on reliable tools from a smaller number of trusted vendors who offer the portfolio, scale and dependability to become industry standards. This allows them to maximize resources and focus on delivering the audience experience that nobody else can deliver.
"Customers have made it clear to us that they see their plug-ins and their host platforms as a single, intertwined solution and they are looking for ways to maximize the value of that solution. With the advent of rapidly evolving technologies such as full floating point, GPU and stereoscopic, we're starting to see a wide range of host platform capabilities, leading to plug-in constraints on some platforms, and potential weaknesses in the overall solution.
"Customers would like to see more seamless integration between what the host platforms do well, and what the plug-ins specialize in. A great example of this is stereoscopic support. Today, building stereo content like a feature film is a hugely time consuming activity for VFX artists. When Erik Liles from Hydraulx Visual Effects did his shot from AVATAR, he had to create a look in one eye using GenArts Sapphire, and then recreate that same look again manually for the other eye. He then tracked those 'eyes' through the entire shot using a Sapphire Grid plug-in to make sure they didn't mis-align. It was extremely time consuming. What if Erik could have built the look in one eye, then have it /automatically/ applied to the second eye by Sapphire as it tracked through the rest of the shot? What would be required from the host platform to accomplish this? What would be the responsibility of the plug-in? There is significant opportunity for plug-in vendors to collaborate with host vendors to drive meaningful innovation."
As part of the alliance, GenArts will become the flagship partner in The Foundry's new third-party partner program for Nuke. GenArts will have an exclusive co-marketing relationship with The Foundry as a provider of visual effects plug-ins for Nuke and Nuke customers will have the option to install trial versions of GenArts plug-ins on Initial installation.
"The Foundry is very pleased to have come to this new arrangement with GenArts," adds Bill Collis, CEO, The Foundry. "We believe that it's in the best interest of our customers for Tinder to be looked after by GenArts, while The Foundry concentrates on developing complex, problem-solving, image-processing plug-ins including further work on its award-winning Furnace and Ocula toolsets and new products based on our 3-D scene technology. We hope our new third party program, launched today, with GenArts as our first provider, will bring a variety of plug-ins to the attention of Nuke users enabling them to do even more within the platform."

Revision as of 16:15, 19 January 2008
This help15 page is actively undergoing a major edit for a short while.
As a courtesy, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed. The user who added this notice will be listed in the page history. This message is intended to help reduce edit conflicts; please remove it between editing sessions to allow others to edit the page. If this page has not been edited for several hours, please remove this template, or replace it with {{underconstruction}} or {{incomplete}}.
With the help of the Front Page Manager you can set the display order of the articles visible on the Home page of your site.
Version Changes
- In Joomla! 1.5 the filter field was completed with the Go and Reset buttons.
- The Select State drop down filter is a new feature as well. You can narrow the list for the published/unpublished articles by selecting the appropriate option.
- The Access column is renamed to Access Level.
- The icons of the Reorder column are moved to the Order column.
- The columns can be sorted ascending/descending by clicking the column header.
Column Headers
Typical Usage
When you enter the administration back-end, the shortest way to open the Front Page Manager is clicking its quick icon in the Control Panel. Later you can access it from Content -> Front Page Manager menu item.
The items can be moved up/down by clicking the arrows in the list, or they can be renumbered by entering a value in the field next to the arrow. In this case the order should be saved by clicking the floppy icon.
The four drop down lists make you easier to narrow the list of your choice, or you can enter a string in the Filter field and only the matching articles will be listed.
Quick Tips
As the articles can be reordered, you can place an older one at the top, so it will be the first rendered on the front-end.
Points to Watch
The number of the items listed here depends on two things. The article should be set to display on the front page in the Article Manager or in the Article [Edit] screen. The values of the # Leading and # Intro basic parameters of the Home menu item control the amount of the articles published here.

Jeb Bush backs Connie Mack, spurns LeMieux
Former Gov. Jeb Bush jumped on the Connie Mack for Senate bandwagon on Wednesday, as yet another big-name Republican takes sides in the party primary.
Jeb Bush
Bush's endorsement in effect rebuffs George LeMieux of Fort Lauderdale, a former senator who is competing for the Republican nomination to run against Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson.
Bush stressed Mack's conservative credentials, a sign of the rightward trend of the GOP.
"Connie Mack is the principled conservative that the people of Florida deserve representing them in the U.S. Senate," Bush said. "Connie has the courage, conservative values, experience and determination to confront the tough issues facing our nation. We must return conservatives to the majority in the U.S. Senate."
Mack has also racked up recent endorsements from Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota.
After sitting on the sidelines and crusading for education reform, Bush has become more engaged in national affairs. Last week he testified before the House Budget Committee to warn that the economic recovery is stalling and to help Republicans make a case against bureaucratic barriers to job growth.
Many Republicans hope Bush will emerge as a vice presidential candidate.

As Marvin showed us, many locations in Eastern Carolina saw a little snow Thursday. One of them was Goldsboro in Wayne County. They picked up about an inch. Roadways were slick for a while, which cut down on the normal traffic. The slippery sludge and icy patches on roads were washed away just before lunchtime, making for wetter, but slightly safer driving.

NAPOLEONVILLE(AP) — The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office says a 10-year-old boy has drowned in Bayou Lafourche.
WBRZ-TV reports the child, according to the sheriff's office, was out fishing Friday morning with friends when he and another boy decided to jump in the water off of a footbridge.
Authorities say the victim, who could swim, came up once and showed distress before going back under. He was found about 20 feet away from where he jumped in, in six to seven feet of water.
Investigators are still talking to the boys who were at the scene to get more details about what happened, and have not released the victim's name.

hey, what do you reckon is the difference between floor pressing one DB at a time (with one arm) vs floor pressing two DBs at a time? My goals are mainly strength goals if that makes a difference in your answer.
before you say floor press with a barbell, please note that I'm using DBs to try to bring up a lagging arm/side of chest (left).

Moving question
Should i move my 6 Congo Tetras into there new home today or not? I know they would love it but i also the little buggers like to destroy plants.............. dilema! I swear they keep looking at it from the other tank
If i get 3 times more yes than no il do it!
I tried putting plants in my 75, but the congos tore them up. I would put them in whichever tank is larger. I would accommodate the fish before the plants, so if that means moving the plants then that's what I would do.
The plants are already in, got a small shoal of rummynose in, a few crs and a gold bristlenose plec, which has been digging already but not uprooted any plants yet! Both tanks are the same volume, the only difference is 1 is long and the other tall
Then the congos should be in the long tank.
Well i have moved them, the deeper tank was still 3.5ft wide anyway so wasnt exactly cramped! But there in there new home and so far there clinging together in a group tighter than normal, a few hours theyll be back to there usual selves

As promised, here is my interview with visual artist, Sara Golish. I recently discovered her beautiful work and also had the chance to interview Sara. We talked about her work, her passion for music and colours, creativity and other interesting stuff. Enjoy!
When was your starting point as an artist?
I've always drawn and painted ever since I could pick up a pencil and draw a stick figure.
I was the shy, quiet girl in kindergarten that would paint and draw by myself any chance
I had. I could never get enough and I never wanted to stop. I memorized all the colours and the correct order of the rainbow I believe by the time I was five. I became very upset when anyone [including illustrations in books and on TV] placed the colours out of order.
I remember for years kids my class would come up to me to ask me the rainbow order and colours. I was always very happy to help out and share my knowledge. It even went as far as arguing with my grade 9 science teacher about the prism colours.Luckily, I think he liked me and thought it was amusing!
Talking about colour, what is the importance of colour to you?
Talking about colour, what is the importance of colour to you?
Colour has always played an important part of my work, although I'd say that usually goes for most visual artists. From my rainbow obsessed days as a child until now, no matter how bright and colourful, or muted and subtle, colours move me much in the same way music does. I can be stopped in my tracks by the richest red-orange that demands your attention, or by a strange and unpalatable to some, hue of a dingy yellow-brown, and stand there mesmerized by it's beauty. Colours can evoke emotion, take you to another place, or simply make you feel good. When I see a colour I really like, I take a minute to truly look at it, and it puts a big dorky smile on my face.How have you grown and evolved, and how different is it now compared to when you first started?
I've grown and evolved collectively through years of my personal and varying experiences and interests. Through trial and error, new ideas, techniques and critiques. Though, the heart of what I do and what I love - women, hasn't changed at all since I was a child. The women have changed and my skills have improved but my work today still continues to evolve and develop as I move forward. I'm always coming up with so many new ideas and always filled with inspiration, that I still haven't got around to creating paintings I came up with years ago. Even my most recent work has probably been a good 6 years in the making.
What is the most important factor to you when working on a project.
Quality/wow factor. I'm not about pumping out a ton of poorly executed paintings in the name of making money - although money is always good - my main concern is creating pieces of high calibre. I'm not going to put something out there I'm not happy with, proud of, or wouldn't want to buy myself. Quality over quantity for sure!
Music on always. I prefer to work outdoors when possible and during natural sunlight hours, however I am a night owl at heart and end up doing most of my work later in the day and late at night. Not good on the eyes or for colour matching ! However, my absolute ideal scenario would be to work in my future greenhouse-like studio in my backyard, next to the ocean, in my tropical paradise. I would need a really good sound system to listen to music all the while. I don't think I would ever stop working, other than to take a dip in the ocean !
I almost feel as though my subjects pick me in a sense. I see someone and for whatever reason, I'm drawn to them. Could be their style, their profile, their skin tone, their facial structure, I don't always know but for whatever reason I find them intriguing.
I've approached models on the street, on transit, in stores, at various events and even on social media. I always hope I don't weird people out, though I'm pretty certain I have with those that never get back to me.
What is the average time you spend on a project?
It's very hard to gauge, as they range in detail and scale, but definitely no less than 20 hours per piece. That is not including research, ideas, sketches and canvas or panel prep time. I've spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours alone just on research and organizing my reference material over the years.
Most challenging project so far?
I'd have to say a painting I'm currently working on. It's one of, what I would consider, my more simpler pieces. Yet there have been many mistakes, multiple re-dos and proportion issues, when I typically don't have so many. And for the life of me, I can't quite figure out why I'm having such a difficult time on her. I'm happy to say she's finally getting there though...
Reading your bio, you recently completed graphic & web design development, you are also a decorative painter and have done a lot of artistic projects. You also moved to Toronto to seek artistic challenge.
It seems you have thirst for expanding your horizon, how important is it to you and how do you enlighten yourself to achieve your goals?
I'm always looking at ways I can improve as an artist. I believe in the importance of constantly pushing myself to do all that I am interested in. I love the idea of being a type of Renaissance woman and anything new I try, I want to exceed at. I'd be lying if I said I didn't compare myself to others. Character flaw? Perhaps. But I find that by seeing someone who I feel is more skilled than I in a particular aspect, pushes me to try harder and excel. It could also be, the possibly not so long lost perfectionist in me.
Besides art what else are you passionate about?
Music is on par with visual art, possibly more, surprisingly enough. If I didn't think visual art was my calling, I would definitely be doing something music wise. I'm also very passionate about eating healthy and being environmentally conscious. I care about what I put into my body and how we treat this planet we all share - and that is definitely the hippy in me.
I don't tend to have songs stuck in my head, as I'm always listening to music, however, the most recent one I can think of would be Pete Rock's "That's what I'm talking about" featuring Rell.
In your opinion how will you define creativity.
That's a tough one. We live in a world where everyone seems to appropriate from everyone else or our past histories, with this age of the internet and easy access to just about anything. We are bombarded every day by images and concepts and can easily seek those things ourselves for inspiration. So I suppose creativity is harnessing those elements and deriving something as unique as possible. Developing new ideas, when it seems as though everything has already been done. Or that could just be what I consider my own personal creativity to be.
In the summer months, the Harbourfront. I love being by open water and there are always great festivals and shows happening there as well.
During the winter/colder months, anywhere indoors that's playing good music and has a nice vibe.
Working for myself; making my own hours and working on my time, but ultimately doing something I love and am very passionate about.

From Our Editors
From a bird's-eye view, the emerald expanse of All American Sports Center is unmistakably devoted to the sports of golf and baseball. No less than 20 heated tees and 40 seasonal grass tees line the driving range, allowing players to keep shooting for the horizon even after the sun sets and the towering lampposts light up the field. For short games, the center also features a 10,000-square-foot putting green as well as a chipping green complete with hazards such as sand bunkers and kiddie pools full of jury summons. The 18-hole miniature golf course encourages visitors to unwind as they putt past decorative waterfalls and rivers. At the dugout, guests can switch gears to baseball or softball, taking up bats to turn away the wrath of variable-speed pitching machines.

Hello Augustin,
It seems like you have not yet enabled the internet information service yet and it is needed by the Microsoft Dynamics AX so as to work. Therefore you will need to enable the IIS service first on your computer so that you can use that application.
Just click on start on your computer and they type run in the search field and then press enter. In the dialog box that will come up, you will just type in inetmgr, and then click OK to open the IIS window. In the IIS window check all the services and then save the changes and then exit the window.
That is it, you will have enabled the IIS service.

'The Avengers' Kneel Before Zod, er… Loki – Extended Trailer a Bit More Interesting
"We're not a team. We're a time bomb." – Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo)
The latest extended trailer for The Avengers debuted today and surprisingly… it wasn't that bad. Of the three major superhero flicks, including The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man (we don't talk about Ghost Rider), The Avengers lags behind in overall fan appeal.
So far, the teasers, trailers and stills have centered on the special effects and set pieces. Although geeks the world over, myself included, were initially excited when Firefly hero Joss Whedon took the helm, last year's Captain America: The First Avengers and Thor stole all of Whedon's thunder – no thunder god pun intended.
However, this latest trailer focuses on the character dynamics that made The Avengers #1 issue (back when Iron Man still wore a plain gold suit) so good. I still remember sifting through the pages of "Sons of Origins" over and over to savor the story as well as all of Marvel's core #1 issues.
The trailer shows off some obvious tension between these heroes, especially when Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) walks on the scene. There are also a few great shots of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye. Right now, all of the heroes look amazing in action with the exception of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). It's not really clear why she's there. Her expression takes away from the action. If you wanted to argue that the movie needed a female hero, then perhaps you should check your history. I would have preferred seeing the The Wasp, who was actually an original Avenger. Granted her powers aren't so cool, but I believe Whedon could have made her work.
Also of note is a section of the trailer that seems to show a large audience of people bowing to Loki (Tom Hiddleston). It reminded me of the second volume of the Thor comic book series. Thanks to Loki's duplicitous actions, Thor becomes worshiped as a real god on Earth. He ended up moving Asgard above New York City so that the earthlings could begin to worship the Asgardians and learn how to live more "divine" lives. Thor ended up with a swelled head and extended his rule of Asgard over Earth, much to the chagrin of the US Government and his fellow Avengers.
Check out the latest Avengers trailer below, and let us know if it's bolstering your interest in seeing this film over Spidey or Batman.
The Avengers opens in theaters on May 4th, 2012. The film also stars Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Stellan Skarsgård, and Samuel L. Jackson.Ut oh, looks like a circle-jerk of trouble for Thor, Cap and Iron Man:

HISTORY: Most of you probably have mirrors made of glass at home. In Japan,however, mirrors made of bronze (copper mixed with tin and lead) were used until the Edo period (1615-1868). These mirrors had a design on the back side, while the front was gilt with tin and beautifully polished to create a reflective surface. You can still see your face in some of these early bronze mirrors even now. During the Edo period (1600-1868), mirrors decorated with lucky symbols or Chinese characters were given at weddings.The faces of mirrors were highly polished or burnished, with itinerant tinners and polishers specializing in this work. Since the mirror, together with the sword and the jewel, were symbols of Imperial power, mirror-makers were deeply revered and often given honorary titles such as Tenka-Ichi ('First under Heaven'). However, this title was often misused and was officially prohibited in 1682. Bronze mirrors were replaced by glass mirrors after the Meiji Restoration (1868).DESCRIPTION: This Rare Japanese Edo Period, 18th Century AD (1600-1868) Bronze Handle Mirror is From The Famous " Fujiwara" Royal Family- is decorated with lotus flower motif in center of mirror and intricate floral scroll design surrounding center motif. The mirror is inscribed Fujiwara Masashige saku (âe~Made by Masashige of the Fujiwara family'). Makers of mirrors often had high status in Japan because the mirror, together with the sword and the jewel, formed part of the Imperial Regalia. To say that these mirrors are scarce is an understatement. The majority of these mirrors are in private collections or museums. This exquisite mirror is in excellent condition, considering It's age.

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Finnish biotech startup Ductor uses bacteria to make organic fertilisers from waste. Its fertilisers -- used for food production -- are, according to CEO Ari Ketola, "equal in strength to chemical fertilisers and more environmentally sustainable". Today, ammonia-based fertilisers are typically made from natural gas, which releases two tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere for every tonne of ammonia extracted. Also, to produce 1kg of absolute nitrogen -- essential for the process -- it takes 8kWh of energy. Ductor's method is based on microbial fermentation of biowaste, so emits little carbon dioxide and doesn't require power. Founded in 2007, the business is looking to license or sell the technology, which can also produce crude oil from algae, in the next two years. "We calculate that we can produce one green crude-oil barrel at a price of $75 [£49] where others are struggling to go under $200 (£130)," explains Ketola. "We have started to negotiate with some companies to start algae farming with the Ductor method and we are in dialogue with oil companies to utilise our upcoming green crude oil to replace existing biodiesel feedstock."
