Bring me the head of David Weigel
At first, I couldn't quite understand why David Weigel, the Washington Post politics blogger who just resigned, would merit his own feeding frenzy. He's not Helen Thomas: he hasn't been around for 60-plus years, nor does he have a front-row seat in the White House briefing room, nor has he uttered on-camera statements that many people consider offensive or outside the bounds of political discourse.
Instead, one of his offenses was … dancing, maybe a little strangely, at a wedding. This was truly a feeding frenzy worthy of a Seinfeld episode.
Seriously, Weigel is a talented journalist who added a fresh perspective to the Washington Post. He should not have been booted out for what he did. Why was he? The Weigel Incident does illustrate some of the biggest fault lines and flaws of Washington journalism. Here are a few:
1. Fake decorum dominates our political discourse.
This exists solely so that people can score political points by taking offense. Often, though not exclusively, those taking offense these days tend to be Republicans and conservatives who have discovered the advantages of the left's equally lame 1990s-era political correctness.
The stuff Weigel posted on the private Journolist email list was mostly snark – some of it funny, some nasty. He was injudicious to post it – nothing is truly secret on the Internet, and it's in his own interest to be, if not neutral, credible. But it should be possible to mock Matt Drudge, apologize, and still write on the conservative movement. No doubt there are some conservatives who do not consider Drudge an unalloyed force for good for America or politics on the right. Because he isn't.
Once you violate decorum your enemies, and the enemies of whatever power center you represent, will come for your scalp. And the media will pile on and abet this, because nothing generates more traffic than fake umbrage (except, sometimes, genuine umbrage). But maybe it will all blow over, especially if your patrons take the long view, and have your back. Unless, of course, everyone just agrees to go with the whole fake decorum thing.
2. The "print guys won" at the Washington Post.
The exact mechanics of Weigel's departure are unclear, but it does seem clear that if Post editors wanted to keep him, they could have torn up his resignation letter. Instead, they cut him loose. And some inside the Post are reveling in this as a great victory, according to Jeffrey Goldberg, who published some quotes of Post staffers crowing about the whole thing:
"This is not just sour grapes about the sudden rise of these untrained kids, though I have to think that some people in the building resent them for bypassing the usual way people rise here. This is really about the serial stupidity of allowing these bloggers to trade on the name of the Washington Post."
"It makes me crazy when I see these guys referred to as reporters. They're anything but. And they hurt the newspaper when they claim to be reporters."
The backstory here is the internal struggle between the print and online sides that the "print guys" famously won when the two were consolidated. As a result the paper's embrace of the web has at times been ambiguous.
The print side is built on traditions like sending reporters to cover the city or suburbs before they're allowed near national politics. Weigel never paid those dues. As a practical matter, though, the Post ought to be able to assign talented, well-sourced political reporters to cover, well, politics, without first making them cover the Howard County zoning board for eight years.
3. The "view from nowhere" retains its grip on the political press.
But the burning issue here is whether Washington Post reporters can have opinions, and if they do, how should they express them? Weigel came out of the world of blogging and Washington's independent political journalism community (the libertarian Reason and the left-leaning Washington Independent). The writing is looser, shaped by a personal perspective/politics. I think this is the future, in part because it's more honest and accessible. The traditional "view from nowhere" that posits the truth lies midway between left and right is an untenable construct, especially in an age of shocking institutional failures. Clinging to it is eroding the credibility of traditional media.
But the world outside the warm embrace of objectivity looks dangerous to those still inside it, especially if there's any ambiguity about what team you're on. Politico's Ben Smith wrote a piece before Weigel's resignation broke that basically stated: if you are one of these journalists-with-opinions, you have to choose a side. If you don't, we'll choose one for you. Weigel, you're a liberal. This is preposterous for two reasons: first, Weigel says he's not a liberal. (And indeed, there is little evidence for ideological liberalism in his snark; rather, it's contempt for individuals and conservative strategy/tactics – blunt, yes, but honest.) Second, a journalist (or, for that matter, anybody) ought to be able to hold opinions without actually joining a political movement. This describes most Americans, after all.
Sadly, it appears that an unholy alliance between culture warriors and journalism traditionalists has won the day here, and Washington journalism is weaker for it. At least until Weigel turns up at the Huffington Post.

Water Palace by Roboto-kunWatch

Experimenting with different style, more texture heavy on this one. Liking the way this turned out, I think it's a bit more advanced than what I usually do. I should mention Google Sketchup was employed to establish the layout and basic lighting, before painting over it with Photoshop. It's available for free if you haven't tried it and it's very user friendly so perfect for artists. Remember though it's just a tool, won't make you super artist overnight!

This is gorgeous!!!!!. I absolutley love the lighting and scenery in the background. So stunning!
Excellent !
What a beautiful sense of mystery and light.
Reminds me of Gallifrey and Time Lords O_o
I find this awesome. The concept is pretty impressive!
this is amaazing!! it suits the short story i was writing
splendid work ! though with all that water, i think i would wear a shorter robe...
very cool picture. it looks like it could be a place from the game Aion.
I love the all the detail work..
I love the all the detail work..
Very Roman-esque. And I like the subtle rainbow you threw in there too.
And I didn't even know about this Sketchup; I'll try it out.

I can almost smell the moisture in the air o_o
very good your drawing!
Love the grandeur of this.
wow! so impressive! *u* yeah~ those are awesome tools to get the perspective and lighting right! you are very smart!
Nothing short of breathtaking.
O_O no words can describe how awesome this is
This world is very inspiring. Looks like a flying city in the ancient Roma style, but with a touch of futurism. Excellent work
Impressive work
Beautiful concept. The textured style looks amazing.
Very very very beautiful (:
Damn nice. Will my designs be this good someday? I feel like no matter how good I get at painting, I'll never be able to conceptualize like this...
looking at this one in comparison to some of the other thumbs in my watch from you, this definitely stood out as having something a little extra... Love the colour choices and the overall atmosphere. The water coming out of the building in the background is amazingly done too - the rainbow from light refraction is a gorgeous subtle touch.
Woww...so beautiful.
Whoa. Love the effect of the water spray!
But you sure are a super artist! I've been following you for a while now and you keep amazing me with every piece art.
Keep up the great work! 'Cause it makes my job just a bit more pleasant

Damn man, I love this! Great work and a wonderful execution of a scifi scene!
very nice indeed
This is really good.
Are you KIDDING ME. This is BAWS SAWCE.
really quite inspiring
Keep it up. I dig that you tried to use both 3d and 2d tools
One of the concept artists of half life 2, Viktor Antonov, did that pretty masterfully as well.
Also makes me think that would be cool to see more 3d and 2d artists working together

Reminds me of Waterfall City from Dinotopia with a bit of "Old Republic" from Star Wars.
nice as always!! I also downloaded Google Sketchup but I haven't used it yet in a painting.. I tried to use it but I didn't know how to change the light Any tip??
You can turn on shadows and change time of day to determine the direction of sunlight. Doesn't give too much control but good enough for what I do
Yeeees.. I read that changing the time day was possible but I couldn't find how to do that I just want a reference for the light when doing architecture! Thanks!
fantastic piece, love the inclusion of the rainbow, very real atmospheric lighting
You made everything in this google sketchup? I mean- these buildings and some kind of... platform. (?)
I am wondering if you could show what it looked like before you started painting it in photoshop.

prune picker
This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. (90) I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, bluegrass, and civic events. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Ice Storm in Front Yard.
These pictures were taken at the height of the recent ice storm. You can see how the young pine trees are bowed over from the weight of the ice. They are starting to stand back up now. I thought that they were done for.

Background: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) infection in cattle is a significant economic concern in many countries, with annual costs to the UK and Irish governments of approximately �190 million and �63 million, respectively, for bTB control. The existence of host additive and non-additive genetic components to bTB susceptibility has been established. Methods: Two approaches i.e. single-SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) regression and a Bayesian method were applied to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using high-density SNP genotypes (n = 597,144 SNPs) from 841 dairy artificial insemination (AI) sires. Deregressed estimated breeding values for bTB susceptibility were used as the quantitative dependent variable. Network analysis was performed using the quantitative trait loci (QTL) that were identified as significant in the single-SNP regression and Bayesian analyses separately. In addition, an identity-by-descent analysis was performed on a subset of the most prolific sires in the dataset that showed contrasting prevalences of bTB infection in daughters. Results: A significant QTL region was identified on BTA23 (P value >1 _ 10-5, Bayes factor >10) across all analyses. Sires with the minor allele (minor allele frequency = 0.136) for this QTL on BTA23 had estimated breeding values that conferred a greater susceptibility to bTB infection than those that were homozygous for the major allele. Imputation of the regions that flank this QTL on BTA23 to full sequence indicated that the most significant associations were located within introns of the FKBP5 gene. Conclusions: A genomic region on BTA23 that is strongly associated with host susceptibility to bTB infection was identified. This region contained FKBP5, a gene involved in the TNF_/NF_-B signalling pathway, which is a major biological pathway associated with immune response. Although there is no study that validates this region in the literature, our approach represents one of the most powerful studies for the analysis of bTB susceptibility to date 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Executive functioning independently predicts self-rated health and improvement in self-rated health over time among community-dwelling older adults http://hdl.handle.net/2262/76118 Executive functioning independently predicts self-rated health and improvement in self-rated health over time among community-dwelling older adults Mchugh J.E.; LAWLOR, BRIAN Objectives: Self-rated health, as distinct from objective measures of health, is a clinically informative metric among older adults. The purpose of our study was to examine the cognitive and psychosocial factors associated with self-rated health.Methods: 624 participants over the age of 60 were assessed at baseline, and of these, 510 were contacted for a follow-up two years later. Measures of executive function and self-rated health were assessed at baseline, and self-rated health was assessed at follow-up. We employed multiple linear regression analyses to investigate the relationship between executive functioning and self-rated health, while controlling for demographic, psychosocial and biological variables.Results: Controlling for other relevant variables, executive functioning independently and solely predicted self-rated health, both at a cross-sectional level, and also over time. Loneliness was also found to cross-sectionally predict self-rated health, although this relationship was not present at a longitudinal level.Conclusion: Older adults' self-rated health may be related to their executive functioning and to their loneliness. Self-rated health appeared to improve over time, and the extent of this improvement was also related to executive functioning at baseline. Self-rated health may be a judgement made of one's functioning, especially executive functioning, which changes with age and therefore may be particularly salient in the reflections of older adults 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Congenital reticular ichthyosiform erythroderma. http://hdl.handle.net/2262/76116 Congenital reticular ichthyosiform erythroderma.

To identify further susceptibility loci for this common, complex skin disease, we performed a meta-analysis of >15 million genetic variants in 21,399 cases and 95,464 controls from populations of European, African, Japanese and Latino ancestry, followed by replication in 32,059 cases and 228,628 controls from 18 studies. We identified ten new risk loci, bringing the total number of known atopic dermatitis risk loci to 31 (with new secondary signals at four of these loci). Notably, the new loci include candidate genes with roles in the regulation of innate host defenses and T cell function, underscoring the important contribution of (auto)immune mechanisms to atopic dermatitis pathogenesis.

GB Patent Number: GB2500134
Granted to: James and Stephen Bowden
Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a medical problem which is taken very seriously in the workplace. It can be a debilitating condition for sufferers. Keyboard and mouse users are particularly prone to suffer from it and many products have been proposed which attempt to prevent or alleviate the condition.
UK patent no. 2472880 was granted to the joint inventors, Messrs Bowden, at the end of April and may provide a breakthrough solution to those who are concerned by RSI. The patent describes a novel computer mouse which is allegedly even more ergonomically-designed than every other mouse seen to date.
The most common mouse design requires the hand and wrist of a user to be held in a position that is generally towards full pronation, i.e. with the palm facing down and held generally parallel to a work surface on which the mouse is located, and with the fingers and thumb splayed out over the mouse. This alignment of the hand and wrist can require the use of muscles in the arm which are better suited to gross motor movement, rather than the fine motor movements deployed in mouse control. The use of these muscles in this manner can lead to RSI.
As you can see from the diagrams, the innovative mouse design has a planar base for resting on a work surface in which an optical motion sensor is mounted. The mouse's body extends upwards from the base and includes a thumb support ledge on the front, defining a thumb surface for engagement by the tip of a user's thumb. On the reverse of the mouse, there is a finger surface area for engagement by only the tip of one or more of the user's fingers. Upper and lower portions of the finger surface extend across the width of the device and constitute the standard function operation buttons. The mouse also incorporates a scroll wheel between the upper and lower buttons.
The Bowdens' new mouse design places the hand in a more natural position in which the fingers and thumb are flexed, and the side of the wrist, the side of the hand and the adjacent edge of the palm surface rest on a work surface on which the mouse is located. The palm is generally inclined halfway between being parallel to the work surface and at a right angle to the work surface. The body of the device generally only requires light contact with the tips of the thumb and the tips of one or more fingers, typically the index and middle fingers, requiring no contact with the palm at all. This grip is well suited to accurately controlling precise movements without putting undue strain on the arm's musculoskeletal system.
Additionally, the required grip facilitates use of the device on the centre line of the user's body, which is of benefit where very precise control of movement is required. By designing the device so it is gripped between the tips of the user's thumb and fingers, maximum sensory input and control of the device can be obtained, allowing for delicate and precise control and adjustment. I can't wait to get my hand on it!

As with anything Confederate, there are an awful lot of fake UCV medals out there.This one is the type you look at and immediately find absolutely no doubt. Great look and great condition except for the wear on the ribbon (See photos). The top bar indicates this was the 1936 reunion at Shreveport Louisiana and has a likeness of Robert E Lee on the left and Stonewall Jackson on the right. The bottom indicates UCV with two different Confederate flags with nearly perfect paint as well as a likeness...

Very cool sleeve patch or trade badge for German chemical weapons. Chemical weapons are not thought to have been used in Europe during the war so this is not a very common patch. GU in Gothic script on feldgrau backing. Excellent condition.

Interesting, creepy item. WWII German gas mask in box with instruction sheet. The box is rumpled but all there. Embossed on top with product information. Four page instruction sheet has very minor chipping to bottom edge. Gas mask itself looks to have never been out of the box. Rubber is supple with no dry rotting; Just a bit dusty since I don't clean anything except my kitchen. There is writing on the eye lens but since it is backwards I can't really make it out. The canister is tucked inside a...

Very cool and very rare patch This is the sleeve patch or arm badge as worn by women in the Nachrichtenhelferinnen des Heeres (Army signals). With the number designation this was probably intended for some HQ unit. Unissued. Very hard piece of insignia to find.

Very cool, large size obsolete military police badge. If that weren't cool enough it is a Marine Corps badge from Camp Lejeune. I would guess this was Vietnam vintage. Excellent condition as per photos. Preat piece.

This medal couldn't be any cooler. This is a Brigade Commander (Most certainly a general) medal from the UCV (United Confederate Veterans) 1937 reunion in Jackson Mississippi. Confederate veteran medals are rare and cool enough as it is but honestly, how many COnfederate generals were still on this side of the clouds in 1937? Yes, the ribbon is obviously well worn but this is just such a neat medal.

Extremely rare Spanish Cross Next of Kin medal as awarded to family of those German Condor Legion "Volunteers" killed in that conflict. Records show that 315 were awarded which is about half the number of Knights Crosses with Oak Leaves awarded. This came out of an advanced collection in Wilmington DE and it looks like even the ribbon is correct. The eagles are all (Correctly) separately affixed. This would be much more expensive on other sites. Really a centerpiece quality medal for most any co...

Way cool gold eagle for luftwaffe general's summer tunic. Very strong gold finish with very light wear to the front. Reverse shows gentle patination. Pin is a little bit bent but I see that as a non-issue. The final image is interesting as it shows the border of where the gold finish was applied and not applied. Just a really neat item.

Hard to find NSKOV gorget. This is from a solid, old collection and absolutely guaranteed not to be one of the Eastern European things coming onto the market recently. Some age wear to the front as per photos. Rivets and face plate are in solidly in place. Full length chain in perfect shape. Backing is in great shape with two tiny nips as per final photo. These are more often then not really chewed up in back. Very nice, very honest piece.

The Perfect Livin '14 exhibition at 1 Borneo shopping mall in Likas.
KOTA KINABALU: The Perfect Livin'14 home and lifestyle exhibition is back in Sabah with greater deals and free gifts for visitors.
Early birds will not only receive special edition water bottles, they also stand a chance to win great prizes from the various lucky draws available once they register at the customers' registration counter at the entrance.
This event held for the second time this year in Sabah will go on until tomorrow at the 1Borneo Hypermall, from 11am to 9pm daily.
Event spokesperson Janice Yam said similar to the previous exhibition in March, there are over 300 booths from more than 100 exhibitors from all over the country to visit and choose from.
"Our exhibitors are mostly same as the last year's event, but they have brought more products and are offering better deals for customers," she said.
The types of products on sale include everything that can be found in a house such as furniture, kitchen appliances, oven, flooring, bathroom sets and water purifiers.
Yam said customers need not worry about not having enough stocks for the items they wish to buy, or about the delivery as most of the companies participating in this event have branches and offices in Sabah.
"And if they encounter any problem after buying, such as delivery issues, they can just contact us and we as the organizers would be available to assist," she said.
Information or inquiries on this and other events can be obtained via www.perfectlivin.com or www.perfectlifestyle.com.my.

Nice redwoods setting but individual camp sites are very close together; no privacy. Frequent patrols by park personnel in trucks. Traffic nouse from nearby Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Check-out is noon; we arrived at 1pm w/ a reservation, & were told to go away until 2 pm ck-in. Many of the sites have difficult RV access. - Taco stand

This is a beautiful setting amongst the redwood trees. Sites are a bit tight and some would not be appropriate for anything other than a tent. Negotiating our 25' trailer into our site was somewhat of a challenge. Restroom facilities were clean and adequate. Nice park if you do not require any hook-ups. Close to Point Reyes. We will likely stay here again. - ap_obs
Feb 2010 - $35.00
This park was pleasant enough, although the trails were not well maintained. The restrooms in the upper loop were so dirty I refused to use them. The restrooms near the picnic area were closed due to budget cuts, according to the sign. It didn't bother to mention there was another (unmarked) restroom on the other side of the picnic area, which we found by accident, so other visitors were using the bushes. You have to walk to the picnic area to get Wi-Fi. No hookups and you can't run the generator until 10 a.m., which makes for a very chilly morning. There are much nicer places to camp for the money. - Keeping up with the Joneses

Unusual event declared at Brunswick Nuclear Plant
Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 7:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 7:03 p.m.
SOUTHPORT | A freon release from part of an air conditioning unit Tuesday at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant resulted in the declaration of an unusual event, according a news release from Progress Energy.
The air conditioning unit part known as a chiller was on the roof of the plant's unit 2 turbine building. The chiller was removed from service and repaired to stop the leak, and the unusual event ended, the news release said.
Both of the plant's generating units continued to operate and were not affected by the leak, the release said.
"An unusual event is a classification used to describe a condition or event that is outside normal plant operations, but poses no threat to public safety," according to the release. "It is the lowest of four Nuclear Regulatory Commission emergency classifications."
Progress Energy said appropriate federal, state and local officials were notified.

"Wear It With Pride, Eh?" Toronto Local Custom Tip by Todd64
Toronto Local Customs: 171 reviews and 184 photos
I know you're not going to believe me, but this little fella is a Canadian icon. No, I'm not talking about the flag per say, but the actual tiny plastic pin of the flag itself. It's hard to imagine how a little piece of plastic no larger than 1.2 x .06 cm could aquire such lofty status, but I'm here to tell you my friends that it's true.
Everybody in this country owns one and if they don't they should because they're given out for free just about everywhere you go. In fact if I'm not mistaken they're handed out on little cards to schoolchildren in Toronto around Canada Day, and given to every new citizen when being sworn in. You'll see them everywhere from the baseball hats of sports fans at a Blue Jays game to the lapel of a $3000.00 suit worn by a Bay Street power broker. You'll see them on the jackets of people from coast to coast, and if you're lucky you might even see one or two on the backpacks of travelers around the globe.
It's been debated if Canadians actually have "pride" in this country or not, but I say we do. We're just subtle about it, that's all.

Who Cleans up a Crime Scene?
A fascination with crime scene TV shows led Indianapolis resident Meredith Sharp down an unusual career path.
"I was with my best friend and we were watching a forensic files type show on TV," Sharp recalls. "The crime scene we were looking at was particularly gruesome. She said, 'Who do you think cleans that up?' And I said, 'Well, I don't know but I bet we could.'"
The next day, Sharp contacted Ball State University and asked if they had a forensics program. They didn't, but offered to create an individualized program for her. She graduated in 2007 with a degree in criminal justice and concentrations in biology, chemistry and Spanish.
Two years later, Sharp and her husband, Matt, opened Sharp Bioclean LLC, a company specializing in the safe removal of biohazardous waste, often from the scene of a crime or accident. The company is part of the biohazard remediation industry which emerged in the past few decades as a result of the HIV epidemic and increased awareness of the dangers presented by blood and other biological remains.
Just a routine day at work
After an accident or death occurs and the dead or injured have been taken away, it's often companies like Sharp Bioclean that are brought in to clean up the mess. Sometimes the call is to the home of a person who died alone and whose body wasn't found for weeks. They deal with blood, human decomposition, excrement and any other type of biological hazard. The Sharps run the business out of their home on the north side of Indianapolis. Meredith and Matt are the owners, but they also work along their cleaning technicians Joe Davis and Tyler Sharp, who is also Matt's cousin.
"Ultimately, our job is to disinfect and remove the affected area," Matt says. "It's not sanitizing, and we don't come in as janitors or maids. We go in and take care of what needs to be taken care of."
Their objective is to remove all contaminated material from a home, business or automobile and restore it to a biologically safe state. They show up to a scene, assess the extent of the cleaning and then compose a plan of action.
"You're thinking in layers when you're working with biological matter," Matt says. "You disinfect and clean biological waste, and then move on to the carpet. You might cut the stain out and then you get to the padding and realize the damage beneath is extensive."
The Sharps use a variety of tools on the job. The main cleaning product they use is called RelyOn, a powerful disinfectant made by chemical manufacturer DuPont that kills 99 percent of all blood-borne pathogens, HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis, bird flu and H1N1. To kill spores, they use germicidal bleach. To locate traces of blood splatter, they use a spray-on indicator that fizzes when it comes into contact with blood. To contain blood splatter on a wall, they clean and seal it with a protective paint barrier.
"Once we get all of our biowaste together, we put everything in a black trash bag, which goes in a red biohazard bag, and then a plastic crate that has to be sealed," Matt says. "Then, a biohazard disposal company comes and picks it up. We get the crates back after they disinfect them."
The Sharps wear disposable, protective suits for all jobs, and respirators when they have to remove animal infestations or clean areas where diseases might be present. "The smells really don't bother us," Meredith says. "We're more concerned with inhaling diseases."
Learning the basics of cleaning crime scenes
To get started in this line of work, the Sharps had to obtain the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response certification from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration which required a 40-hour course on the safe removal and disposal of hazardous waste, the use of power tools and how to work in confined spaces.
"We also took a week-long class with an instructor where we actually cleaned a mock crime scene made with cows' blood," Meredith says. "That was how we learned how to deconstruct furniture and how to pull a toilet if we needed to - all the stuff you wouldn't really think about until you get to a crime scene."
Demolition is a big part of the job, and Matt jokes that he never knew he was good with power tools before he started cleaning up blood. The Sharps often have to break down furniture or remove sections of flooring that have come in contact with biological waste. Ultimately, their goal isn't to repair the contaminated area, but to ensure that it's safe for others to enter, which might involve placing plywood over sections of flooring that have been removed.
Every job the Sharps take poses a unique set of challenges and they often have to improvise on the scene to complete their objective.
During what they call one of their most challenging jobs, the Sharps were responsible for decontaminating a home where the resident's death hadn't been discovered for several weeks. To remove the residue of decomposition, the Sharps began cutting away floor boards only to discover that five layers of flooring had been applied on top of each other through the home's history. As they worked, the contaminated area grew larger as the Sharps removed each layer. At the bottom of the fifth layer, they found a waste-filled dryer vent that also had to be removed.
"Every building is built a different way so you can't really predict how it will be taken apart if it needs to be, or how things will be removed," Tyler says.
Recalling the first day on the job
It took two weeks for the Sharps to receive their first call – a suicide at a home on the east side of Indianapolis,
"It happened so quickly," Meredith says. "Before I knew it, I was going out to do the estimate. We took a look at the scene and they hired us on the spot."
"It was stepping from theory into practice," Matt adds.
The Sharps quickly found out that offering comfort to family members of the deceased is a big part of the job. "I try to describe what we do to people this way," Meredith says. "I want to be the best thing that happens to them on the worst day of their life."
Meredith says one difficult part of the job is when she has to talk business with a grieving family – sometimes just a few hours after a death. She explains to those families that many homeowners' insurance policies cover the cost of clean up after a suicide or accidental death. "I always file on behalf of the homeowner for them so they don't have to deal with it," she says.
Tyler agrees, "Dealing with the people is a big part of the job. Even if it's a property manager, he's still having a really bad day. It's good to have a sensitive approach."
New job, new challenge
After two years in business, the Sharps say they've gained a wealth of experience cleaning crime scenes and accident sites. A majority of the calls they receive are to clean up after a suicide or accidental death, but they also get calls to clean up after fights, and to remove feces, rodents and odors. They are contacted by family members, property managers, insurance agents and coroners. In some jurisdictions, the coroner will provide relatives with a list of crime scene cleaning companies.
The Sharps tell one story where they were hired to clean up blood at a cell phone store in a mall after two women got into a fight, tearing each other's earrings out. The team cleaned the store in protective suits while curious shoppers snapped pictures through the store's windows.
One of their more difficult jobs involved removing 450 pounds of raccoon feces from the attic of an abandoned house. The home had been abandoned for 10 years and there were no working utilities. An attorney wanted to sell the house quickly so he hired the Sharps to come out in the middle of an ice storm. "There were holes in the steps - there were nails coming in from the roof so you couldn't stand up straight in the attic," Meredith says. "I had to work slumped over and it was freezing cold."
Each job is unique for the Sharps, and they continue to learn new techniques along the way. "Every job offers something new and challenging," Matt says. In a line of work where they never know what will happen on a day-to-day basis, they can never learn too much.
The Sharps understand that their business is not the type that people hope to ever use, but they want homeowners to know there is someone to call when tragedy strikes.

I've had my company since 1994. I'm a Police Officer and went to a call for a suicide. It was my Dad. After all of the investigators left I had the scene to think about. Everybody wanted up front money. Did not have it and could not get the company to use as a deposit. People should not have to pay for this service. I created the company; it's a GOD thing. We have helped 857 families since the inception.
Great Story
As a managing member of Florida based Without A Trace LLC I enjoyed this article and ask those in need of biohazard cleaning to use a local company not listed on the search engine ads as they pay thousands for those ads and pass the cost onto grieving families. "We are here to help!"
What a creative idea! Its
What a creative idea! Its young entrepreneurs like you with such creative and intricate minds that should be future leaders of America! I'm calling Sharp BioClean when I pass!

1. It's important that I find a good one
2. I'm not an expert enough to know myself who is a good one
3. The industry is full of advertisements and misinformation
4. I wish I knew what experiences other people have had
That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor.
On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.
A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor.
Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor.
For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too.
That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.

Pete Menjares, Ph.D., was approved by the board January 27 on recommendation of the presidential search committee. He currently serves as Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Academic Effectiveness at Biola University.
Menjares received his Ph. D. in education: language, literacy and learning, from the University of Southern California in 1998. His master of arts in education: teaching and curriculum, is from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and his bachelor of arts in religion in pastoral ministries is from Vanguard University.
Along with his wife, Virginia, Menjares will visit the Fresno Pacific University main campus February 14-16, where the couple will be introduced to faculty, staff, students and others in a variety of formats. After input from the campus, the board will make the final decision for the appointment of the president at its regular board meeting March 2-3.
The decision to invite Menjares as a candidate was unanimous. "The board of trustees is deeply grateful to the members of the search committee for their diligence and dedication in carrying out the search process. The committee's careful and prayerful process, together with the work of consultant, Bruce Dingman, resulted in the assembly of a pool of highly qualified presidential candidates," said Larry Martens, co-chair of the search committee, which included faculty, staff, students, board members and community representatives. John Thiesen, FPU board chair, is the other co-chair. "The board is also grateful for the prayers of all FPU supporters throughout this seven-month process."
The next president of FPU will replace D. Merrill Ewert, who will retire effective July 31, 2012 after a10-year tenure. Ewert made his announcement in June, 2011.

Ever wonder how the calendar gets scheduled for the school year?
There is a common calendar committee that meets every year, and it
includes representation from Administration and Instructional staff from all
nine school districts in Kalamazoo RESA, plus representation from Kalamazoo
RESA itself. This committee is in charge of the massive coordination of the
yearly schedules for all programs in all nine districts - both individual
programs and joint programs (for example, Education for Employment,
Education for the Arts, Special Education, Kalamazoo Area Math and Science
Center, Testing requirements, etc.). The committee also must work in the
exact amount of student-instruction hours as required by the state, and make
sure those hours are balanced evenly as semesters or trimesters. Out of
those efforts comes a plan for the school year's calendar.

1Spend a third of the time playing outside. Go sledding with friends, build snow men and forts- anything outside that you think is fun. You don't want to waste the day inside on a snow day!
2Spend a third of the time inside. Play video games, watch some TV, play on the computer. This is another fun thing about snow days–having time inside to do nothing!
3Spend some time catching up on homework. It sounds almost unthinkable, but you have enough time to make the whole next week easier, to the point where you've already done all your work.

MARY McCARTHY was born in Seattle, Washington, on June 21, 1912, the first of four children of Roy Winfield McCarthy, a lawyer, and Therese Preston McCarthy.Her father was the son of wealthy Minneapolis Irish Catholics; her mother was the daughter of a prominent Episcopalian lawyer from Seattle and his Jewish wife. In the course of moving the family from Seattle to a new home in Minneapolis, both parents died in the 1918 influenza epidemic within a day of each other. Mary and her young siblings were placed in the care of indifferent relatives. The bleakness and emotional hardship of these years are recounted in two essays, "Yonder Peasant, Who Is He?" and " A Tin Butterfly," part of Memories of a Catholic Girlhood ( 1957).
In 1923, McCarthy was put under the guardianship of her maternal grandparents in Seattle.There she boarded at Forest Ridge Convent but spent weekends at her grandparents' home, where she discovered the works of Dickens, Tolstoy, Harte, Bulwer-Lytton, Mencken, and Huxley.After a year in a public high school, she entered an Episcopalian boarding school, the Annie Wright Seminary in Tacoma, where she was an excellent student particularly interested in Latin. The summer after her graduation in 1929, she enrolled in acting classes at the Cornish School in Seattle.In the fall she entered Vassar; she graduated with a B.A. four years later; and one week after graduating, she married Harold Johnsrud, an actor she had met in Seattle at the Cornish School.The first of four marriages, it ended in divorce in 1936.
During this time, McCarthy began to write short book reviews for The Nation and The New Republic. In her essays and novels, McCarthy would present acerbic and satirical views on marriage, sexuality, intellectualism, and the role of contemporary women. In 1936 and 1937, she worked at Covici Friede, a left-wing publishing house, and in 1937 she was listed among the editors of the revived anti-Stalinist Partisan Review. Her drama reviews for the magazine would later be collected in Sights and Spectacles: 1937-1956, expanded in 1963 and published as Mary McCarthy's Theatre Chronicles.
In 1938, McCarthy married the critic Edmund Wilson, and on Christmas Day that year her only child, Reuel Kimball Wilson, was born. Edmund Wilson encouraged her to write fiction, and the following year Robert Penn Warren published McCarthy's first story, "Cruel and Barbarous Treatment,"

Swynnerton was a maverick figure in the London exhibitions of the 1890s. She aimed at an art of serious meaning and visual richness which showed a woman's mind and eye at work. Her subjects, rendered robustly and vividly, engage the viewer directly. Her work has an immediacy that was thrilling to admirers and irksome to detractors, as both groups recognised Swynnerton's independence from artistic conventions.

SEATTLE (AP) — Rookie quarterback Andy Dalton threw a pair of first-half touchdown passes and Brandon Tate returned a punt 56 yards for a touchdown and the Cincinnati Bengals earned their fourth straight victory with a 34-12 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Dalton tossed TDs of 14 yards to Jerome Simpson and a beautiful 43-yarder that dropped into the arms of A.J. Green in the second quarter to give the Bengals a 17-3 lead.
From there, the Bengals leaned on their impressive defense that bent, but managed to keep Seattle out of the end zone until the fourth quarter.
The victory made Marvin Lewis the winningest coach in Bengals history with 65 career victories.

This comparison was shot as a follow-up to confirm the D800E sensor alignment issue (same Nikon D800E body, issue confirmed), but it turns out to show the color correction behavior and contrast differences of the 135mm APO-Sonnar usefully in relation to the Nikon 135mm f/2 DC. Unfortunately.
A (second) Nikon D800 body also shows a similar alignment issue, though to a slightly less extent. Two 35m lenses were also found to display the issue on the D800E. Bad luck with two bodies, both headed to Nikon for "to spec" alignment. There were actually multiple comparisons made with both bodies, focusing on the gutter area at left and center and right as well as the top of the roof. Results consistently showed (with both cameras and both lenses) a forward bias of focus on the right side. By itself, that makes for a mystery (2 against 2), but two other lenses (35mm focal length) suggest that the bodies are at fault.
