That looks cool, and super Forerunner-ish. (Seriously, that looks almost exactly like the Forerunner beacon towers from Halo 1.)
how do you do those brush strokes in the sky?
It's like a sci-fi Monet.
woowwwww .. i just love it the colors , the textures , great work
an interesting vision - and beautiful execution!
Sick as usual.
Keep it up man!
Keep it up man!
Awesome atmospheric perspective on that structure! Love the painterly feel of this... Faved
It looks great; I love the gutsy way you've made it look very painted. My only criticism is that the large ship seems to be in less contrast than other ships that are further away, which makes it in some ways look further away than the others, which I don't think is intended.
great mood!
more please
more please
really nice !
love your work truly inspiring
absolutely incredible
Tiny village, giant building, awesome.
I love the concept Perfect fog texture. I love the brush strokes! Any specific brushes you've used?
Looks great, the lack of symmetry in the alien structure really makes it much more exciting
Looks almost like it's done traditional
Would've enjoyed it more if it weren't for the village at the base. The contrast is too great when you compare both types of architecture.
I did however enjoy the alien design. I dig the triangular design.
I did however enjoy the alien design. I dig the triangular design.
the village is there to be sugestive of a takeover, the steep contrast in architecture was meant to signify this. As were the ships dropping in the background.
oh i love brush - -b

Administration Caught in New Obamacare Dilemma
October 25, 2013
In this article posted at the Foundry, Amy Payne writes that The cuts are hitting a set of subsidies that were supposed to help pay deductibles and co-pays for lower-income Americans with Obamacare coverage. An Obama official pledged there would be a plan before the Obamacare exchanges opened on October 1, but that didn't happen.

"The Bartlett House"
we love bartlett house. I was very, very disappointed with the tile in the master bedroom. Carpeting would be a big improvement and would feel so much nicer. but we loved the lovely new deck and the half bath addition. PLEASE PUT a chest of drawers in the master bedroom.The rack was not adequate and filmsy. Also the 2nd bedroom needs some sort of closet

"compact but hey, its on the beach!"
great character home, wonderful for 2 ok for 3 little tight for 4 or more. great windows look across the waving grass to the beach and those waves. would have loved windows which opened but otherwise a great week at a great house.

We loved our stay. A hair dryer would be a nice addition, but all in all we loved everything about the property!

"Excellent place - loved it!"
The place was much nicer than we originally anticipated. The entire place recently went through renovations, and hence the furniture as well as fixtures were very nice. The place was spotless, well-stocked with towels, appliances and kitchenware. The location was perfect: beach-front property, just a 20 to 30 second walk from the back of the house on grass to the beach. Waking up listening to waves crashing to share was a great experience. The management team was also great. We had accidentally locked ourselves out of the house at one point, and there was someone on-site within 10 minutes to help us.

"On the Beach Gem"
The Bartlett house underwent an extensive renovation prior to our arrival and overall the house was in excellent shape. There were a few minor details that seemed to still need some tuning.
The beds are amazing and comfortable and we were all thrilled with this upgrade. The living room is very comfortable and the view and access to the beach was beyond compare. Having the 1/4 bath in the Master made the house very comfortable for 2 couples. The kitchen is well equipped, although a blender would have been nice.
What seemed to be still being worked out and needed attention - Overhead kitchen lights were not working, which made preparing dinner difficult. Stovetop is very low powered. New outdoor deck is small and not well equipped with furniture. Odd 2nd deck is not usable (should be turned into an outdoor shower). Front yard is not usable and should eventually be hardscaped and upgraded outdoor furniture added.
Overall, we would definitely return to the Bartlett house and stay.

"Manzanita trip"
Location was quiet with wonderful view of the ocean
Bed badly needs a new mattress
Extra damage waiver and cleaning fees were added above the quoted rental rate. We caused no damage and left the place very clean... we felt this practice was unfair

"great location"
the view is wonderful, the kitchen and living room very new and updated. The bedrooms need updating. The master bed was uncomfortable..which was a shame because the view was amazing. The wifi was not working, but sunset was very helpful to try and get it going. We will come again as the location was so good.
Response from the , Sunset Vacation Rentals - 03/14/2013
Good news! The bedrooms are currently being remodeled, and will be ready for the summer!

"The Perfect Weekend Getaway"
The small house was perfect for the two of us. The beach is right out the door and if the weather is bad, just lay on the couch and watch the clouds and the waves. The kitchen is very nicely done, with everything we needed. The neighborhood is very quiet. The only sound at night is the sound of the sea.

"Awesome, as usual"
We've rented Bartlett's Beach House a couple of times now (and other rentals from SVR).
House was spotless, very well-equipped kitchen as far as a beach rental goes. Looks like owners are slowly upgrading the bedrooms - but no issues with them.
This property is one of our favorites due to it being beach-front and within walking distance to Manzanita's main street. Plus, when you go to bed and can watch the moon set on the water from the bed...and see, hear and feel the ocean - well, it just doesn't get much better than that.

"Aniversery retreat"
It was perfict little house on the beach, the only problem we had was sharing the trail to the beach, the neighbors were walking up the trail right outside our window :D. All around review, it was the perfect getaway for us
Sacramento, CA, United States
"Quiet & Cozy place for 2 right on the beach!"
Very cute & cozy and loved the quiet location. We were able to walk to town and there were 2 local grocery stores nearby. Enjoyed the great ocean views from the house and especially loved taking in the sunsets. We had everything we needed in the kitchen - from the cast iron pan to a cheese grater and we really appreciated the starter pack of soaps and paper towels etc. Comfortable setup with tv/cable and wifi.
As others have said the bathroom is small (enclosed shower only) and it would be great if they had a larger back deck to enjoy the ocean sounds and view. The blinds were a bit tricky too. We had a near empty bottle of dishwasher soap but that was just overlooked. 2 lightbulbs seemed to be out - the bedroom light switch turned nothing on?? I found the bed to be uncomfortable after a few nights and saw i was sinking towards the middle, but all and all, the reservation check in and out process was very easy and we would stay here again for sure!

"A wonderful two weeks on a beautiful beach."
Bartlett's is a very satisfactory place for two, quiet, comfortable, all of the amenities and a wind protected deck just big enough for two. Fix the living room shades!
Coquitlam, BC, United States
"Nice cottage, easy beach and town access"
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean with a very recently updated, open kitchen/living area. Bathroom was small but serviceable. Easy walk to the beach and town. We really appreciated the generous supplies provided of toilet paper, dish and laundry soap, garbage bags etc - a shame to buy them for a short stay and this year we didn't have to! We are already planning our trip next year.

"great vacation spot"
this was a great house for our family of 4. my only improvements would be to add a deck in the back or clear some grass for a yard. the view is too nice to stay inside. The house was in clean condition and family friendly.

"Awesome House for Couple or small family"
The pictures really don't do it justice! It was really clean, cozy. The funiture nice! I am a restless sleeper, and was worried about a queen bed, but my lady and I slept great- comfy bed. The location is awesome-right on the beach! It had a nice BBQ in the front which was great. This place would be heaven if it had a back deck. It has a little tiny deck with two chairs which was great for us two. Its a great place for a couple for a romantic get away. Probably not so good for a big family event with lots of people. But, small family or a couple it is perfect!! I am going back for sure! It was worth every penny!!
Seattle , WA, United States
"Great Location in Quiet Town"
Great location. We could walk into town in about 5 minutes. We could walk to the beach in a couple of minutes. Place was very clean. Living room and kitchen were modern. Bedrooms were a little dated but very clean. The only downside was there wasn't a deck connected to the house. That said, views from living room were great.

"Enjoyed my experience overall"
I really enjoyed my stay. it was cute and affordable and the stay was really friendly. the only negative thing i could say would be the cleanliness... overall it was good. but the windows had finger prints all over it and the dishes were packed in the dishwasher. (i had to put some away from the previous renter) other than that i was super happy! and enjoyed it very much!
Peta Luma, CA, United States
"Sweet Bartlett's"
Darling little beach cottage. Perfect size for our small family. As much as we love animals, allergies run in our family so it was nice to find a property that didn't allow pets. Can't
wait to visit next summer!!

"Excellent long weekend"
Lovely, fun, relaxing long weekend. The view and location are superb. Enjoyed our morning coffee in bed, looking out at the waves. Wandered back from the Sandune Pub after a night of live music -- quick 10 minute stroll along the road. Agree with an earlier reviewer that only thing lacking is a big back deck facing the ocean. Would definitely stay again!

"Beautiful and Relaxing!"
Bartlett's beach home is in a beautiful, quiet spot just steps from the ocean. This home is perfection: fully equipped for making a gourmet meal or just sitting on the mini backyard deck watching the sunset while sipping wine. This house is just right, beautifully yet simply decorated, and very cozy (very petite bathroom). As we drove back to 'reality', we started planning our next stay!!!

We had a great time. The house was the perfect size and the view and location are perfect! We can't wait to come back.

"Great Location!"
This was about our fifth trip to Manzanita. It's a wonderful small town with plenty of charm and amenities,while still being quiet. Bartlett's Beach House is a simple, small, well appointed home with a wide open view of the beach. The only thing it's lacking is a back deck facing the ocean. I think we'd stay here again.

"Bartlett's = Beautiful"
This is the fourth house we've stayed at managed by Sunset Vacation Rentals. Great house for a small family (1-2 smaller kids). View is exceptional, access is great, easy to walk to town on the beach, or go the other way and enjoy the sights to the south.
As expected, a great experience.

"Modest Beach House"
The modest house is right on the beach and met all our needs. It lacks "cuteness or character" but makes up for it in location. The side entrance with a porch and place to immediately ditch shoes, clothes, shovels, etc. works well for the family.
Malinda C.

"Dunes and Surf"
We had a stormy stay March 28-31, 2012. Rain came horizontally in buckets, and there was some local flooding. We had a great time anyway, and the beach house was fine for two adults and two teens. We found the kitchen to be new and well-equipped.
There is nothing fancy about this house, but it does have amazing views of the waves from the kitchen/living area and the master bedroom. It is a short walk over some dunes to the ocean's edge. We could walk to the main business street in town in less than 10 minutes.
The shower stall is tiny and there is no tub. The beds were comfortable. A deck and hot tub would complete this cabin, even a grill inside the fenced area would be nice, but this is affordable beachfront lodging with your own kitchen.

I am so glad I found this forum - I'm an older Disney fan and love to go to the World and meet visitors from all over the "real" world. I am planning a very exciting trip for 17 of my family members in December of 2011 - would love to get ideas from all of your travelers for planning ideas for large groups. We will have 4 couples - 3 moms and dads and 1 grand couple. I am looking at offsite homes due to our large group and different interests. I have only traveled to WDW with my children when they were small (two daughters) and my dear husband since they grew up. Here is a picture of my hubby and me on our last stay - I look forward to meeting and talking with you all.

This application July 18, 1968, Ser. No. 745,784 Claims priority, application Germany, Oct. 3, 1963, St 21,139 Int. Cl. H04m 3/54 US. Cl. 179-18 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention provides special services such as call forwarding which enables a subscriber to set his line so that calls directed thereto are transferred to special service central ofiice equipment. In order to obtain the special services, the subscriber dials a special code and his own directory number from his own telephone. Comparator equipment compares the dial directory number with information obtained from subscriber identification equip ment. The subscriber is provided with the desired services only if both numbers compare.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 399,480 filed Sept. 28, 1964, now abandoned.
This invention relates to a telephone exchange in which a subscriber can have his line switched into a special service condition.
One of the special service conditions which is of interest is the absentee subscriber condition, but others exist. When a line is in the absentee subscriber condition, and an incoming call for that subscriber occurs, the call is extended to a special operators position, or to a talking machine from which the caller receives a pre-recorded announcement.
An object of the present invention is to provide a telephone exchange in which a subscriber line can be set into one of the special service conditions in response to signals from that subscribers own line.
According to the present invention there is provided an automatic telephone exchange, in which when a call is initiated, line identification means determines the identity of the calling line and transmits that identity to first storage means in the register seized for the call, in which the number whose identity is signalled from the subscriber line after the reception thereat of dial tone is received at the register and stored therein in a second storage means, in which to set his own line into a special service condition the subscriber sends signals identifying his own number and a code combination appropriate to the special service condition, which code combination is stored in the register in third storage means, in which a comparator compares the contents of said second storage means on reception with the result of said line identification as stored in said first storage means, in which said comparator finds that the contents of said first and said second storage means represent the same number, the callers number and the special code combination are transferred to common switching means wherein a record is made indicating that that line is in the special service condition to which said code combination relates, and in which any call 3,515,812 Patented June 2, 1970 directed to a subscriber whose line has been set into said special service condition is dealt with in a manner dependent on that special condition.
In the above paragraph and elsewhere in the specification dial tone and other references to dialling appear in inverted commas because in many modern systems push buttons or other digit sending means is used instead of the conventional dial.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show as much of a telephone exchange as is necessary to understand the invention.
FIG. 1 shows the input and certain control portions of the inventive telephone system including a switching array with an associated marker and translator;
FIG. 2 shows the output and certain control portions of the inventive telephone system including the control links, and the register; and
FIG. 3 shows the manner in which FIGS. 1 and 2 may be joined to provide a complete showing of an embodiment of the inventive telephone system.
The exchange to which the drawing relates has a common translator KZO-BU (or two or more such translators if traffic or security needs call for them) which is seized for each call originated by a line connected to the exchange. This translator produces the following items of information relating to the calling line:
(a) The lines number (either its directory number, its equipment number, or both, as required), which is obtained from a line identifier via a code converter, the identifier and code converter being indicated at CW.
(b) The class of line to which the calling subscribers line belongs.
(c) An indication of any special conditions then pertaining to the calling subscribers line.
This translator also functions in a similar way in respect of terminating calls, as will be clear later.
The information items mentioned above are transmitted over connections 1, 2, 3 to the register which has been seized for the connection. With the register seized, contacts mgl, mg2 and mg3 of a relay Mg are all closed. Means( not shown, but well-known) ensures that this information finds its way to the correct register, where it is stored. The identified number enters the calling line store RnSp, the class of line enters the store KSp, and the special condition information enters the special store USp.
At this point it will be noted that the special condition information serves, in the case of an outgoing call, to control dial tone emission. The term dial tone is put in inverted commas because (as mentioned above) in many modern systems, push button or keysenders are used, so that dial tone is not a strictly accurate term. However, it is used but in inverted commas as a concession to tradition. Thus two diffeernt dial tones can be available, a normal one sent when the caller is not in a special service condition, and a special dial tone sent when the line is in a special condition. Thus in general if a line is in a special condition, calls can be originated therefrom, but wll not be terminated thereat if the special condition does not allow of it.
When a subscriber wishes his station to be set to a special condition such as absentee subscriber, he dials, in response to the dial tone, his own number, which is followed by a special code requesting switch over to the desired special condition. The special code acts to actuate the equipment in the marker used to set the special service condition. The number he dials is received in storage device Wsp of the register, and the special code in the storage device formed by storage cells Sp5Spn If a comparator V finds that the dialled number as stored in Wsp is the same as the result of the calling line identification, as stored in RnS p, it switches a control circuit St to its operated conditions. When this happens the special code in the cells SpS-Spn can be responded to effectively.
At this time relay Mk is operated, having been operated by the marker M, so that the callers number is sent over mkl to the marker. This sending occurs either serially over a single wire, or parallel fashion over a block of wires each of which is enabled over an MK contact. In addition, a signal indicative of the special service condition to be dealt with is sent over mk2 to the marker M. As a result of the reception of this information, the marker passes on the signal indicating the type of special service condition to the translator KZO-BU, which latter thereupon records in itself an indication that the calling line is in that condition. The translator also receives the callers identity from the marker.
It will be appreciated that the call number comparison used in the present arrangement avoids the possibility that one subscriber can either erroneously or malevolently switch another subscriber into a special service condition. The transmission of the callers class of line to KSp has not been mentioned: this is used in the present case to determine whether the caller is entitled to have his line switched on request to the special condition in question. This determination is performed when St is rendered operable, at which time St checks from the class of line whether this entitlement exists.
Where one caller attempts to set another to a special service condition, that one caller receives busy tone, under control of the comparator output. The absence of the special code in dialing by the authorized subscriber prevents busy signals from being received when the calling is merely attempting to place an outgoing call. The codes sent from a caller to identify the special conditions are single digit or plural digit, depending on how many of them are available, and from these codes switching orders are derived by the translator KZO.
The use of the marker M was mentioned above: this is called by the register as soon as the latter has received the dialled information, and it then causes relay MK to operate to allow information transfer from register to marker as already described. The address of the subscriber is sent to the translator as in the case of a terminating call, while the special service code is applied to the switchover portion BU of the translator, which causes an adjustment to be made to the stored information in the translator.
When the adjustment called for by the special service code has been made, the marker M receives a signal from KZO,, and this causes release of the translator, marker and register.
In the case of the absentee subscriber code, the subscriber can, by the special code he sends, ensure that after the adjustment called for by that code has been made, any subsequent call incoming to his line is routed to a special operators position or to a talking machine.
Thus, when a subscriber in the absentee condition is called by another subscriber, the register seizes the marker in the usual way after dialling has been completed, and the marker receives the Wanted subscribers number via the connection(s) controlled by mkl. The translator is then appropriated for use by the marker, which would normally result in the marking of the wanted line via the translator KZO, but in the present case the presence of the special marking prevents such marking. Instead a special marking routes the call either to a special operator or to a talking machine, as already mentioned.
4 The translator can contain its stored data partlyin electrical form, which part can be altered by electrical means in response to special service codes, and partly in an electromechanical form. The latter part is the part soldered or plugged connections.
Where class of line indications, whereby certain subscribers are assigned the right to set their lines to special service conditions, are liable to frequent change, these indications can be recorded in the electrical manner. However, it is desirable that this facility be limited to a few lines only. Lines to which this facility is assigned have a special class of line indication addition to the usual one.
If the class of line of such a line is to be altered from an operators position, the subscribers number is dialled in the usual way, However, due to the special class of line indication the register only seizes the marker when the operator dials an extra code digit. This prevents the usual comparator operation, and a special signal passes via the marker to the translator in the usual way to effect the necessary adjustment to the stored information. The special digit also ensures that the connection is not made to the dialled line. In addition, an acknowledgement signal can be sent to the operator when the adjustment to the stored data has been made.
If the operator at such a special service operators position wishes to call a subscriber station, he must dial, in addition to the wanted number a further special code digit in response to which the connection is established.
To return to the special service condition, when a subscriber whose line is in that condition wishes to withdraw his line from it, he picks up his handset, and (as mentioned above) receives the special dial tone. He then dials his own number and a special code for withdrawing his line from that condition (this code could be the same code as used to put the line into that condition)- or alternatively the code for a different condition. In either case the response occurs in a manner appropriate to what is dialed and in the manner already described.
We claim:

Body language can work wonders for a team, or it can spell disaster
Jeff Capel surveyed the dire straits facing his basketball team. Oklahoma had starters in foul trouble, shots that were missing and a deficit that was growing. Worse, it wasn't even close to halftime at Texas A&M. "Is this going to spiral?" the Sooner coach thought standing on the sideline Tuesday. There would be no blowout. Quite the opposite, in fact. The Sooners rallied and even had a last-second chance to win that fell just short. The reason the Sooners didn't spiral? Willie Warren and his body language. "He held us together," Capel said. "How he was at halftime and coming out in the second half, he held it together." Body language made a difference. Then again, it always does. Matt Holliday used it to ease the transition after a mid-season trade to St. Louis. Desmond Mason stayed positive because of it when the Thunder was struggling last season. Zac Robinson separated himself from the pack with it to become the starting quarterback at Oklahoma State. But while good body language can work wonders, the bad variety can spell disaster. Capel has made a point of talking about his team's poor body language this season. He has criticized players going through the motions or breaking apart when they face adversity. The worst offender has been Warren, his recent turnaround notwithstanding. "I'm tired of trying to figure him out," Capel said in late December. Even though body language has been cussed and discussed more than usual this basketball season, that non-verbal form of communication is a constant in sports. It is always on display. It is always having an effect. What is bad body language? No doubt you've seen it. Slumped shoulders. Rolled eyes. Drooped head. Good body language? Head is up. Shoulders are high. Just like jump shots and touchdowns, home runs and rebounds, how athletes and coaches carry themselves impacts the outcome of games. "I would suggest that effective body language is sort of a fundamental athletic skill," said sports psychologist Nicki Moore, who heads up Psychological Resources for OU Student-Athletes. "It is a skill that happens every moment of every competition." No wonder coaches take it so seriously. Kurt Budke has worked on Oklahoma State point guard Andrea Riley's body language for the better part of four years. The Cowgirl coach remembers how poor it was when Riley was a freshman. Her shoulders would slump. Her head would fall. Her expression would sour. "The rest of her teammates could see that," Budke said. "If you had seniors out there, they'd try to pick it up and get it going, but your leader out there has to stay positive at all times and show energy at all times." Budke believes Riley, now as senior, has much better body language. "It definitely can be taught," he said. His OU counterpart thinks so, too. Sherri Coale recognizes that some players are born confident. That's how they're wired, that's what they bring to the court, but having better body language is something she works on with every player. "With different kids, it's different," the Sooner coach said. "You just keep trying keys until you find the one that fits." With Danielle Robinson, the key to unlocking better body language was watching video of herself displaying bad body language. "I actually have a (video) cut-up called 'bad faces,'" said Coale, who added that Robinson is positive and confidence by nature but that the point guard plays the position where Coale believes body language is most important. "She was absolutely mortified the first time she watched that film. It's mostly her frustration with herself, but players, and point guards in particular, have to be aware that regardless of who that frustration is channeled to, everybody else on the floor receives that message." That is something Marshall Moses thinks about often. While he doesn't play point guard, the OSU forward is a veteran on a young Cowboy team. He knows that his body language makes a statement to his teammates. "It's very tough," Moses said of maintaining good body language. "Anybody — I don't care if it's Michael Jordan — if you're missing shots, it's going to affect your mindset. But to not show it and to stay positive so your teammates who are making shots will continue ... that separates the good players from the great players." Jeff Capel has drilled that fact into Willie Warren's head time and again. There have been times when the sophomore star has looked bored during games. His face has been expressionless. His body has been lifeless. His body language has said that he doesn't care. Capel's message to Warren has been simple. "Good body language is you're always into it," the coach said. "There's a certain passion. There's a certain look. A look of determination. A look of 'I'm going to do everything I can to help my team.'" Warren may finally be taking those words to heart. His body language was better not only against Texas A&M but also in come-from-behind victories at home against Oklahoma State and Missouri. "I was very enthused," Warren said. "I showed emotion on the court, and it just elevated everyone's game to the next level." Seeing that his improved body language is paying dividends has motivated him to keep it up. During OU's second-half rally at Texas A&M, Warren had a bounce in his step. He was energized. He was excited. Not just for himself either. He high-fived when Tiny Gallon drew a foul. He applauded when Cade Davis hit a three. He slapped backsides when Tommy Mason-Griffin drove the lane. "I just really feel if you an learn to do that ... what they're doing subconsciously is they're throwing themselves into the team," Capel said, "and when you do that, you don't feel as much pressure. You just go out, and you play." The evidence is clear — body language has an impact in games. For the better or the worst.

June rainfall 7".
Towards the end of the week the weather is forecast to become hot and sunny.
The long range forecast for July, August and September is higher than normal temperatures and lower than normal rainfall.
Still loving that Alpine Sea Holly.
Interesting that you quote rainfall in inches. In Seattle we got 3" in June, double the normal amount, had an average temperature of 14C, and a glorious 6 noncloudy days. Hoping for a something little more like summer this month!

For 35 years the federal Clean Water Act had properly governed the use of forest roads. That is, until the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals coughed up a bizarre ruling in 2011. A three-judge panel for the San Francisco court ruled that water runoff from forest roads must be regulated the same as runoff from factories, industrial parking lots and even sewage treatment plants. That meant forestland owners and logging companies would have to go through the lengthy and costly process of obtaining pollution discharge permits.Northwest politicians — Republicans and Democrats alike — understandably responded with outrage.
Fortunately, this contentious issue was set back upon its logical path Wednesday by the U.S. Supreme Court, which reversed the lower court ruling. Forest roads will be managed as "non-point sources," as they were for three-plus decades under the Clean Water Act.
It's important to understand the breadth of opposition to the 9th Circuit Court's misguided ruling two years ago. As we pointed out in an editorial last year, 45 House Republicans, 17 House Democrats and President Barack Obama had supported the traditional forest roads regulations.
Among those were a Republican congresswoman from Camas, Jaime Herrera Beutler, and a Democratic congressman from Oregon, Kurt Schrader. Both had led the timber industry's cause as it advanced to the highest court in the land. And now both are vowing to pass legislation that will leave no doubt about governing runoff on forest roads. Herrera Beutler said last week in a written statement: "Until we've put clear protections into law, forest roads are still susceptible to job-killing federal regulations that simply aren't necessary to protect our forests and waterways."
Schrader added: "The next step in the process is for Congress to affirm (Wednesday's) ruling with legislation … to provide that certainty for our state and local governments as well as our private forest landowners."
The urgency driving their shared quest for formal legislation is well founded. Conservation groups have said they will continue pushing for federal authorities to more closely regulate muddy logging roads. One lawsuit filed by the Northwest Environmental Defense Center claims water running on logging roads pollutes salmon streams. But that doesn't square with research that had guided 35 years of federal policy.
Last year, Herrera Beutler said the 9th Circuit Court's ruling would cost forest and related industries in the Northwest up to $883 million per year. Timber industries provide 110,300 jobs in Washington state and pump $4.9 billion annually into the national economy. And if the Supreme Court hadn't reversed the lower court, 10 years would be needed to process 400,000 permits that would've been needed on public lands, with a similar regulatory burden confronting private landowners.
This dispute isn't over. But at least the Supreme Court has returned some common sense to the debate.

Clomiphene citrate, also known by its brand names Clomid and Serophene, is a drug you have probably heard about. You may be curious how Clomid works and when you might need to take Clomid. Clomid is a fertility drug used to induce ovulation. It is the most commonly prescribed fertility drug. If you are having problems trying to get pregnant, you may be thinking about talking to your doctor about prescribing Clomid. How do you know if Clomid is right for you?
Clomid is an ovulation induction medication.
Not all women with fertility problems should take Clomid. Your doctor should screen you to see if Clomid is recommended. Couples that have been trying to conceive and have not gotten pregnant could have any number of problems. Proper testing and evaluation by a doctor is necessary to determine what is the best course of action for you. If you are not ovulating, ovulating irregularly, or have irregular periods Clomid may be recommended for you.
Normal Ovulation
During the first half of a normal menstrual cycle, follicles in your ovaries begin to mature and enlarge. Each of these follicles contains an egg. These follicles nurture the growing egg. As they mature, they produce estrogen. Estrogen levels are low in the beginning of your cycle.
Your body communicates with hormones. Low estrogen levels tell your body to produce GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone). GnRH is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that stimulates the production of FSH and LH.
FSH, which stands for follicle stimulating hormone, does exactly what it sounds like, it stimulates the follicles to grow and mature. As they grow and ripen they produce more estrogen. This rise in estrogen triggers a release of LH, also known as an LH surge. When LH levels surge, it signals the mature egg to be released from the follicle. Ovulation occurs within 12-24 hours after the LH surge.
How does Clomid work to induce ovulation?
Clomid works by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain.
Hormones are your body's way of communicating. Hormones attach to hormone receptors to communicate. Think of it like a puzzle piece that fits together. When estrogen attaches to its receptor cell in the hypothalamus it communicates and lets the brain know that estrogen levels are increasing. Clomid has a similar structure to estrogen. Clomid attaches to the receptor cell in the hypothalamus, which keeps the estrogen from attaching. Because the Clomid is blocking the receptors, they don't get the signal from the estrogen and this essentially tricks your body into thinking there is not enough estrogen. Your body tries to kick up the production of estrogen by producing more GnRH. GnRH is what causes the release of FSH and LH. And FSH is what makes the follicles ripen and produce more estrogen. If the Clomid does what it is supposed to, your body will be tricked into producing more FSH and LH, which will hopefully cause your body to ovulate.
How do you know if you need Clomid?
Your doctor will want to see if you are ovulating normally. If you have an irregular cycle there is a good chance you are not ovulating normally. It is a good idea to keep a record of your cycle if you are trying to conceive. Keeping a bbt chart of your cycles will help your doctor determine whether or not you are ovulating. You may also want to use a fertility monitor. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are a great way to determine if and when you are ovulating. If you are not ovulating or ovulating irregularly your doctor may order tests and/or prescribe Clomid.

To Kiklion and Fuyu who are waiting for me to pass judgement on your SUs. I have read both of them and am impressed by what I have seen. I commend the both of you on your efforts. However only one of you is able to take the aspects you wish for. I have noted things in each of your SUs and am awaiting a TornZero's thoughts on them.
There is a simple solution that you may agree to however. You could negotiate between the two of you and decide for one of you to keep one of the aspects and each also change one. This would result in the least amount of work for each of you. If you manage to come to any agreement let me know. Otherwise TornZero and I will have a decision to you soon.

Real Exchange Rate, Stationarity, and Economic Fundamentals
Kanas, Angelos, Journal of Economics and Finance
Using monthly data for the US/UK real exchange rate over the period 1921-2002, we find evidence that the mean reverting tendency of the real exchange rate is stochastic, and regime-dependent. There is one regime over which PPP holds as a long-run equilibrium relation, i.e. a stationary PPP regime, and another regime over which PPP does not hold, i.e. a non-stationary PPP regime. The transition from the non-stationary to the stationary regime is found to be affected by the real interest rate differential, and by the volatility of the nominal exchange rate. The real output differential does not appear to affect the transition probability.
Keywords PPP * Regime Switching, Real Interest Rate Differential, Real Output Differential
JEL Classification F31 * C22 * F41
1 Introduction
This paper examines the issue of whether the US/UK real exchange rate is stationary or not, using a new econometric framework and monthly data over the period 1921-2002. We consider an extension of the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test which allows for stochastic switching across regimes; switching is allowed to depend on theory-implied economic fundamental variables such as the real interest rate differential, the real output differential, and the volatility of the nominal exchange rate. We find strong evidence of stochastic switching across two regimes, and regime (non)stationarity: one regime corresponds to epochs during which the real exchange rate is stationary and PPP holds as a long-run equilibrium theory, which we refer to as the 'stationary' or the 'equilibrium' regime. The other regime corresponds to epochs during which the real exchange rate is non-stationary and PPP does not hold, which we refer to as the 'non-stationary' or 'disequilibrium' regime. The probability of transition from the disequilibrium to the equilibrium regime is found to be dependent upon the real interest rate differential and the volatility of the nominal exchange rate, whilst the real output differential does not affect the transition probability. The results indicate that the US/UK real exchange rate is characterized by a stochastic unit root: its dynamics are different across different periods and switch stochastically from a stationary process to a random walk process. This is in line with Genberg (1978), Edison (1987), and Engel and Kim (2001) who argued that the data generation process for the US/UK real exchange rate may be changing over time. Furthermore, this finding may explain the sample-dependence in the results of empirical studies on the US/UK real exchange rate and thus, bridge the gap between studies which found evidence of stationarity and other studies which found evidence of non-stationarity over different sample periods (Lothian and Taylor 1996; Glen 1992; Adler and Lehmann 1983; Corbae and Ouliaris 1991). The result that the nominal exchange rate volatility is significant in affecting the probability of this switch is in line with the literature suggesting that PPP may hold better during periods characterized by fixed or pegged (less volatile) exchange rates (Genberg 1978; Bleaney et al. 1999; McNown and Wallace 1989; Liu 1992). The finding that the real interest rate differential is also important in the transition probability is in line with Dumas (1992), and implies that it should be considered as a determinant variable of the data generation process of the real exchange rate.
With regard to the theoretical literature on PPP, this paper belongs to the strand of literature suggesting that the real exchange rate dynamics should be modeled within a multivariate, rather than a univariate, framework by incorporating economic fundamentals (Goswami et al. 2004). Dumas (1992), using a general equilibrium real/financial model, concluded that the expected real exchange rate change depends on the real interest rate differential. An alternative theoretical approach, which explains the real exchange rate behavior in terms of the real interest rate differential, emphasized monetary aspects and sticky prices (Domsbusch 1976; Frenkel 1976). …
