Green-Collar Jobs Task Force of Nashville/Davidson
The mission of the Green-Collar Jobs Task Force of Nashville-Davidson County is to create family-supporting career-track jobs that directly contribute to preserving or enhancing environmental quality. We focus on creating recruitment and training opportunities for people with barriers to employment, such as lack of job skills, lack of education, language/cultural barriers or history in the juvenile/criminal justice system. We seek to fight poverty and pollution simultaneously by connecting the people who need work the most to the work that most needs doing and thus providing green pathways out of poverty.
The Green-Collar Jobs Task Force is bringing together government, educational institutions, green businesses, labor, workforce development entities and community groups to create a Green Jobs Corps in Nashville and Tennessee that will help people with barriers to employment find good jobs in the emerging green economy.
The Task Force is affiliated with Green for All, the national organization that helped to jumpstart the green-collar jobs movement in the USA. We have also been influenced by Apollo Alliance and their ten-point plan for energy independence. PolicyLink, a national research and action institute advancing economic and social equity by "Lifting Up What Works," will be coming to Nashville to help facilitate the Compass VI Conference on Green Jobs on Dec. 4-5, 2009.

College Hockey:Siembida Backstops Sioux Past Gophers
Rookie Netminder Gets Second Win In Second Game Vs. Top-Five Team
MINNEAPOLIS — Dean Blais himself wasn't quite sure how it happened.
On the road before an announced crowd of 10,214, down 2-0 entering the third period against the nation's third-ranked team, Blais' North Dakota squad scored four straight goals to claim a 4-3 win over Minnesota Saturday night at Mariucci Arena.
Ryan Bayda scored the go-ahead goal (his team-best 10th) with less than five minutes left on a scramble alongside the Gopher net, sending the Sioux (10-9-1, 5-7-1 WCHA) to their fifth straight win and the shell-shocked Gophers (14-3-3, 6-3-2 WCHA) to defeat in a game they seemed to have under control. UND won despite being outshot in each period, and 37-22 for the game.
Freshman netminder Josh Siembida was the key for UND, making 34 saves — several of the sterling variety — to keep the Sioux within striking distance despite numerous scoring chances for Minnesota. The win was Siembida's second in two games as a member of the Sioux, coming after his victory in the Great Lakes Invitational title game against Michigan State a week ago.
"Josh held us in there for the first two periods," Blais said. "Especially on the power play, he was there. Even when he seemed to be screened, he found a way to make the save."
Siembida's performance showed up as a 1-for-6 night for the Gopher power play, which came into the evening converting at a 33 percent clip.
The win was Blais' 200th as a head coach, and came against his alma mater to boot. The Sioux head man, however, was unfazed by that accomplishment.
"I didn't even know it was 200, actually," he said. "I'd have been just as happy for it to be against Michigan or Michigan State [at the GLI]."
The contest itself was a mirror image of the teams' first meeting of the year, when Minnesota scored four goals in the third to erase a Sioux lead in the Hall of Fame game, the first ever at the new Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, N.D. Saturday, though, the freshman-heavy Sioux and their goaltender looked like seasoned veterans after getting down early.
"A two-goal lead is tough to protect," said Blais. "And it's not like Minnesota laid back. [Josh] was the story of the game."
"95 percent of the time we defended very well, and it's the other five percent that cost us the game," said Gopher head coach Don Lucia. "Their goaltender gave them the opportunity, and to their credit they made the plays in the third period."
Early on, though, it looked like Minnesota would kill the momentum North Dakota built over the holidays. Storming out of the locker room, Minnesota buzzed the Sioux net and took the lead before two minutes had elapsed. Defenseman Joey Martin hit Troy Riddle in stride at the blue line, and the sophomore winger beat the Sioux up the middle, then roofed the puck glove-side on Siembida at 1:57.
The first Minnesota power play extended the lead. With UND's Matt Jones off for tripping, Grant Potulny dug the puck out from behind the net and hit John Pohl, who was standing in the left circle. Pohl's cross-ice pass found Jeff Taffe alone at the right faceoff dot, and Taffe one-timed the puck home for his team-leading 17th goal of the year at 8:03 to make the score 2-0.
After that, however, Siembida hunkered down to keep UND within two. The freshman from Porcupine, Ont., stopped Jordan Leopold from the point early in the second, then blocked Taffe's rebound stuff attempt.
Minutes later, the Sioux appeared to blow a golden opportunity when Minnesota killed a five-on-three that was set up by Matt DeMarchi's hit from behind on Tyler Palmiscno, a penalty which could have been called a five-minute major.
Even so, the Gophers used the successful kill to motivate themselves for the rest of the second, which they dominated on the ice and on the shot chart — but not on the scoreboard, as Siembida stoned Matt Koalska twice late in the frame to keep the period scoreless.
That set up the Sioux for their third-period rally. At 2:19, Brian Canady's goal off a two-on-one break with Ryan Connelly made it 2-1. The two freshmen played a perfect give-and-get on the play, leaving Canady with the entire net to shoot at.
Siembida came up big once more two minutes later, stoning Riddle on another breakaway attempt. His teammates responded by tying the game on a one-on-one of their own. Tim Skarperud's outlet pass was the trigger, and James Massen beat the Gopher defense up the center, then deked netminder Adam Hauser and roofed a backhander at 9:27 to make it a new game.
Another Gopher power play passed without incident, despite good-looking chances for Riddle and Barry Tallackson, and UND outhustled Minnesota for the go-ahead goal at 15:44. Amidst a scramble below the goal line, Bayda found the puck loose in the crease and hammered it past Hauser, who was caught looking the other way on the play.
Minnesota pulled Hauser for the extra skater with just over a minute to go, but a turnover in the offensive zone gave the Sioux a three-on-one and Jason Notermann simply dumped the puck into the net from the blue line to make it 4-2.
The Gophers did score once more, as Grant Potulny redirected a Leopold slapshot from the right point on a six-on-five with three seconds left. The goal, which was originally credited to Leopold, would have tied him for the all-time lead among Minnesota defensemen.
It also had the rare effect of making Notermann's empty-netter the game-winner.
With the win, the current Sioux senior class improved its career record against the Gophers to 9-3-3. North Dakota and Minnesota face off in the series finale Sunday night at Mariucci.

A Compelling Heritage: Vintage Estes Park
Redemption sits on real estate first prized by native Americans and the earliest settlers in this area.
Gold was discovered in Colorado in 1859. Among the thousands of adventurers who joined the rush was a Missouri native named Joel Estes. His original claim was near Fort St. Vrain, between the modern towns of Platteville and Fort Lupton. In October, he and his son Milton followed a trail west up the Little Thompson drainage, from what is now Lyons. They chanced upon a high mountain valley filled with wildlife and surrounded by snow covered peaks. In the spring of 1860, Joel and Milton returned to set up a cattle ranching operation including two houses and corrals at the eastern edge of that beautiful valley. Joel moved his wife Patsy and their four other children to the mountains year-round in 1863. The first known white child born in Estes Park was Milton's third son in February, 1865.
The word "park" was in common usage at that time to describe an open area. William Byers, editor and publisher of the Rocky Mountain News, visited in September, 1864 to attempt a climb of Longs Peak. He wrote an account of his trip which included hospitality extended to him by the Estes family and extolled the virtues of "Estes' Park."
The winter of 1864-65 was unusually severe. This may have contributed to the Estes family's decision to leave the area in the spring of 1866. They sold the ranch to John Michael "Buck" Hollenbeck who in turn sold out to a Mr. Jacobs, who sold to Mr. Farrar, who sold it in 1867 to Griff Evans. The site of the Estes ranch is currently under the Fish Creek arm of Lake Estes.
Before Joel Estes first laid his eyes on the 'Estes' high mountain valley, the Utes and Arapahos were the first to make camp along by our riverside site. Following Estes came many colorful figures including the survivalist Mountain Jim, rancher Griff Evans, explorer Isabella Byrd, the rancher/attorney MacGregor, the notorious Irishman and Earl of Dunraven, the industrious Englishman John T. Cleave, surveyor Cornelius Bond, industrialist F. O. Stanley and naturalist Enos Mills.
According to Colorado Jurisprudence, the original deed covering Redemption's premises was executed on December 19, 1888 from Theodor Whyte, Lord Dunraven's Director and Attorney in Fact, to John T. Cleave. Cleave, among his first notable achievements, built Dunraven's original Estes Park Hotel. Later in the early 1880s, Cleave built, at the confluence of the Big Thompson and Fall Rivers, the Park's first general store and post office. That site later became the nucleus of the future village of Estes Park.
At the time of the Colorado census of 1885, some twenty families and 105 individual were living in Estes Park. In 1899, Cleave's daughter, Virginia, at thirteen was thought to the youngest to summit Longs Peak.
By 1900 the population reached two hundred, though growth remained in check until two important land exchanges occurred– the first, Cleave's one hundred and sixty acres at the junction of the Big Thompson and Fall Rivers, and the other, the residual holdings of the Earl of Dunraven. These transactions altered the face of Estes Park forever. In March 1905, Cornelius Bond purchased for eight thousand dollars the 160 acres of land owned by Cleave. The location was ideal. Bond and his companions wanted to lay out a town, and the spot they selected with its two spectacular snow fed rivers and intersecting riverside roads, schoolhouse, and post office was already the center of community life. Most importantly, they found Cleave, a resident of the park for more than thirty years, and its postmaster for twenty, willing to sell and move on because 'the danged place [was being] overrun by tourists'. People of adventure have been a part of Estes Park ever since. [See generally, James H. Pickering's 'This Blue Hollow' Estes Park, the Early Years, 1859-1915 and Town of Estes Park's official web site.]
Built in 1914, Redemption is one of the oldest remaining homesteads out of Cleave's quarter section. Fully restored nearly 100 years later, this unique property is ready to entertain adventurous tourists and outdoors men from all around the world.
A Merging of Two Waters
RiverBend Inn sits on the famous snow-fed canyon-carving Big Thompson River. The headwaters of the Big Thompson begin in Forest Canyon within Rocky Mountain National Park and form a tributary of the South Platte River, The river flows east through Moraine Park to the town of Estes Park. Just before approaching RiverBend it turns due north to the center of Town.
At Confluence Park it bends back East, and together with Fall River, gives the beautiful Riverwalk birthright to its name.
About a ½ a mile on, their combined waters are held in Lake Estes by the Olympus Dam before being released into the Big Thompson Canyon. From Lake Estes, the River descends 1/2 mile in elevation through the mountains in the spectacular 25 mile white water ride. It emerges from the foothills on Highway 34 west of Loveland. It flows eastward, south of Loveland across the plains into Weld County and joins the South Platte approximately 5 mile south of Greeley.
Big Thompson Canyon Flood of 1976. On July 31, 1976, during the celebration of Colorado's centennial, the Big Thompson Canyon was the site of a devastating flash flood that swept down the steep and narrow canyon, claiming the lives of 143 people, 5 of whom were never found. This flood was triggered by a nearly stationary thunderstorm near the upper section of the canyon that dumped 12 inches of rain in less than 4 hours. Little rain fell over the lower section of the canyon, where many of the victims were.
Around 9 p.m., a wall of water more than 20 feet high raced down the canyon at about 14 mph, destroying 400 cars, 418 houses and 52 businesses and washing out most of U.S. Route 34.
This flood was more than 4 times as strong as any in the 112-year record available in 1976, with a discharge of 1,000 cubic meters per second. See, Wikipedia.
Fall River Flood of 1982. Lawn Lake Dam was an earthen dam in Rocky Mountain National Park that failed on July 15, 1982 at about 6 a.m. It is known as the flood of 1982. The sudden release of 30 million cubic foot of water resulted in a flash flood that killed three people camping in the park and caused $31 million in damage to the town of Estes Park, Colorado and other downstream areas.
Lawn Lake was originally a natural lake with a surface area of 16.4 acre, located at an altitude of approximately 11,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains. In 1903 a group of farmers from Loveland built a dam to increase it to a surface area of 48 acres for the purpose of providing water for irrigation in Loveland.
Over the years the road that had been cut to permit construction of the dam fell into disrepair and ceased to exist. Because of the dam's remote and difficult location, inspection and repairs lapsed. The Colorado State Engineer determined that the probable cause of the dam failure was deterioration of lead caulking on the joint between the outlet pipe and the gate valve leading to internal erosion of the earth-fill dam.
When the dam failed the waters rushed down the Roaring River valley, which falls 2,500 feet in 6 miles, at a peak rate of 18,000 cubic feet per second, scouring a large gully out of the mountain stream and killing one person camping alongside it. At this rate, the lake emptied in about a minute. When the waters reached the broader valley of Fall River at Horseshoe Park they spread out and slowed down, leaving behind a large alluvial fan of debris. The flood continued down Fall River and hit the Cascade Dam which stored water to run a hydroelectric plant about a mile downstream. Cascade Dam failed from the onslaught and added its waters to the flood. The Aspenglen campground was destroyed and two campers who returned to recover camping gear lost their lives, although rangers had been able to give advance warning. The flood entered the town of Estes Park and caused severe damage to the downtown shops. In Estes Park the flood joined the Big Thompson River and flowed into Lake Estes on the eastern edge of the city. Olympus Dam, part of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, there withstood the deluge and the flood was halted.
The scar left by the scouring of Roaring River and the alluvial fan at Horseshoe Park are still very apparent 30 years later and will remain for a very long time. Twenty-five years after the accident, the extent of the former reservoir is still clearly evident, and at the mouth of the lake, the start of the Roaring River flows through the location of the former dam.
As a consequence of the dam failure, aging dams at Pear Reservoir, Bluebird Lake and Sandbeach Lake in the park were demolished and removed. See, Wikipedia.

What Was the Matter With the Old Ones?
I went to work the other day and found that I no longer knew how to get out of the building. Due to the fact that we do employ a number of 'other language' people we needed to sign the building for them to know how and where to go to leave the building. What? They have had no problem finding the doors before this and nobody ever complained about it because they knew enter signs and exit signs looked like and they understood the wording but someone got a hold of a little used county ordinance that required us to put up new signing. I have no problem with bilingual signs anywhere. If it gets everybody to observe the same rules I'm all for it. Really! My issue is why they took down the required English signs to do it. Over 95% of the people who tour our facility are English speaking and would need to know where to go if suddenly there was smoke or fire present. Right? Of course I'm right. I'm thinking that these English speaking administrators should maybe become English reading administrators. The ordinance that they posted said they were required to post 'bi-lingual' emergency signing in the building. I think they may need to go with non-verbal signage like European roadways in the future so that everyone will understand equally what they see.

Weekly Rant Buffet - 10/10/2008
Well, I don't have enough of one subject to talk about so I copped out and decided to pile everything into one blog. First of all I would like to thank GameFly for yet again saving me from buying a crappy title. GameFly, for those who are not familiar, is a service that allows you to rent games through the mail. (TOG's UNK will be releasing a feature on GameFly soon) Usually it helps me wade through the landfill that is the Wii catalog of games. Today, it allowed me to have a peek at Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm before shoveling it back into the packaging in near record time. Let me just begin by asking you how much fun a game based on your day job would be? Certified Public Accountant: Aggregate Blitz or Fast Food Line Cook: Doomfrier may sound interesting but chances are they wouldn't be. Granted, deep sea crab fishing off the coast of Alaska while dodging storms and other hazardous conditions is a big step up the "Interesting" scale from, say, high school janitor but its still work and so is the game. The beginning of the game is a series of tutorials that teach you the basics but it doesn't take long for tediousness to set in when you realize that you'll eventually have to do everything they teach you over and over again. The game tries to be interesting by throwing challenges at you such as racing other boats into the harbor and not falling asleep while playing. In the end you are still playing at someone's job and I have enough problems doing my own.
Next week begins the gaming blitz that is poised to leave me divorced and penniless. For the 360 we've got Saint's Row 2 and Dead Space. The week after is Spidey: Web of Shadows, Fable 2. Soon after that is Guitar Hero: World Tour, and Fallout 3...and that is just the rest of October. November is going to bring us Far Cry 2, Gears of War 2, Call of Duty: World at War and Left 4 Dead. That doesn't even mention the Moria expansion for LoTRO (or Litch King for WoW if you are so inclined). All in all its a great time to be a game but a lousy time to be a broke gamer.

lol Classic mate!
I actually felt put off playing EVE Online because… you actually have to work to earn money!! I'd get right into it if it'd pay my rent! As cool as being a space faring, ship piloting astronaut sounds, hours on end of doing the same repetitive tasks - no matter the environment - is still work.
It's funny, RPG's give you jobs to earn money, but it's that there is variety, chance and choice that make it really rewarding and interesting.

Root (jie gen)
It is bitter, acrid in
flavour and neutral in nature. It acts on the lung
channel. Its acridness can disperse and the bitterness can
purge. Its lightness in nature enables it to enter the
lung to promote the dispersing function of the lung, to
clear phlegm and relieve cough, to induce diaphoresis and
relieve sore throat. Its neutrality does not incline to
cold or warm. For treatment of cough with abundant
expectoration, no matter the diseases are caused by
external or internal pathogens, cold or heat, it can be
used in prescriptions in all case. It is also good at
promoting the dispersing function of the lung to expel
pus, so it is indicated in pulmonary abscess with purulent
sputum. Its lightness and floating up characters enable it
to introduce drugs into lungs. It is often used as a
channel-guiding drug.
2. For treatment of chest pain due
to pulmonary abscess, cough with purulent sputum, it can
be used in combination with Rhizoma Phragmitis, Semen
Persicae, Semen Benincasae, Herba Houttuyniae, Herba
Taraxaci, and other drugs to clear heat and toxins, subdue
carbuncle and promote pus discharge.
Besides, its lightness and floating
property enable it to cure diseases of lung and upper-jiao
and to act as channel-guiding drug.
It is not suitable to cough and hemoptysis due to
deficiency of Yin.

In the new movie "10 Rules For Sleeping Around," Ben and Kate are on the verge of marriage but waiting for Ben's company to take off before committing. Their best friends, Vince and Cameron, have been married for years and are finally sharing the secret that keeps their relationship exciting…the ten rules for sleeping around. The movie explores the singles scenes and the relationships of everyone around them. The movie stars Chris Marquette, Bryan Callen, Jesse Bradford, Reid Ewing and Tammin Sursok.
Classic TV Examiner caught up with actor Reid Ewing, who plays Hugh in the movie. The actor, who has a recurring role on ABC's "Modern Family," talked to us about the unorthodox way he got his role of in "10 Rules." He also shared his rules for a happier life.
Check out the interview with Reid below:
Phyllis: Congratulations on the movie. We see a lot of you in the movie. Talk a little about your audition process? What was it like?
Reid Ewing: It's so funny because I was naked for the most of the movie. I'm naked for most of it. So I figured I'd be one of the only people to go all the way, so to speak. So in the audition process, I just got naked. It's ridiculous cause as soon as I started doing it, they were like"you don't have to do that" and I was like "Yes I do."
Phyllis: You're a method actor...
Reid Ewing: (Laughs) It was actually a cheap trick so to speak, but it worked. Sometimes they do.
Phyllis: From working with the cast of "Modern Family" to working with the cast on this movie, how do you and the other actors prepare for your characters to have relationships with one another?
Reid Ewing: It's not really one of those kinds of movies. Its so weird that you don't even really have to really know the actors that well because what you're doing is so absurd that its in a realm of its own.
Phyllis: What are your 10 Rules For a Happier Life?
Reid Ewing: I've got this down. These are self help answers. There are four things that I have: Vacation, Something that relaxes you, Time to do that thing and also some form of job that occupies the time. Those are the main things for a happier life.
Catch "10 Rules For Sleeping Around," in theaters now.

Reviews for Better Than Potato Salad
"Just OK"
"I made this salad for a company picnic and everyone really liked it. I myself though, do not like radishes so I left them out. I did instead add bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Sam's Club sells hard boiled eggs already cooked without the shell and that really speeds things up. This was really good. Different. I also used Jasmine rice because it seems to have a "toothier" grain that does not get mushy."
"This is a great dish for a summer party. Saves time not having to boil potatoes. Only thing I added was green pepper and a little vinegar and sugar in the dressing. Delish."
"I didn't use all the sauce, I cut back the mayo to one cup. And added a bit of Dijon mustard for extra flavor. Company loved it !"
"I tasted this before I put in refrigerator to get chilled. It was very good even warm. I agree it will not take the place of potato salad but it is a good change from potato salad and macaroni salad. I will make this again."

For the week of
October 14, 2011
- carolinajournal.com
Reaction of the Week
RALEIGH — Government programs targeting energy efficiency do little
more than put so-called experts in charge of decisions that should be
left in the hands of millions of consumers and producers. A John Locke
Foundation economist reaches that conclusion in a new Spotlight report.
"Energy efficiency is rooted in the idea that some people, who have been
labeled experts, believe that other people — American citizens, North
Carolinians, residents of a particular town or city — are using 'too
much' energy," said report author Dr. Roy Cordato, JLF Vice President
for Research and Resident Scholar.
"It is an empirically and even conceptually unsupportable assertion,"
added Cordato, a Ph.D. economist. "The reality is that energy efficiency
requirements and programs are about substituting so-called experts'
preferences for the preferences of people who actually purchase
resources and do the consuming and producing."
As a concept, "energy efficiency" has no relation to real economic efficiency, Cordato said.
"Whichever definition you use, 'energy efficiency' focuses strictly on
saving energy even if it means sacrificing overall economic efficiency,"
he explained. "Pursuing energy efficiency leads to the strong
possibility that use of other inputs might increase. In other words, it
might take more labor, plastic, steel, copper, glass, or other inputs to
make up for the reduced energy use."
CJ: GOP works to override veto of energy jobs billRALEIGH — Republicans believe they will have
enough votes when they return to session in November to override Gov.
Bev Perdue's veto of legislation both opening North Carolina's coastal
waters to natural gas drilling and authorizing hydraulic fracturing to
recover inland shale gas deposits.
CJ: Solar conference attendees seek incentivesRALEIGH — Facing stiff challenges from
government-subsidized foreign competition and stifled by restrictive
domestic regulations, solar energy advocates nationwide are seeking
aggressive remedies. In North Carolina, solar entities are pushing for policies and incentives to catapult the industry to a higher level of growth.
CJ: State's first charter continues helping studentsDURHAM — The first public school to receive a
charter in North Carolina continues on the cutting edge of curriculum
and character building for underprivileged students. Established in 1997, the Healthy Start Academy, a K-8 public charter
school in Durham, pioneered a shift in the educational process for
underprivileged and troubled youth in the state.
CJ: Regulations hinder food truck ministrySALISBURY — Pastor Michael King estimates one in
four black men in Rowan County is unemployed. In an effort to employ
them, King's church recently purchased several old buses, gutted them,
and began transforming them into food trucks.
Perdue, senator tangle over unemployment agencyRALEIGH — Gov. Beverly Perdue's administration announced
Wednesday it was blocking some changes to unemployment benefit
guidelines approved by the General Assembly this summer over Perdue's
veto and the threat of higher taxes for North Carolina businesses.

The bands are always a big draw at SeaWorld Orlando's Bands, Brew & BBQ event, and this year's festival kicks off with Alan Jackson and Kid Rock appearing on February 1 and 2 respectively. You can read more about that here. However, there's more to the event than just great music. As the name implies, there's brew and BBQ in abundance.
The BBQ comes from places like Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Que, Cecil's Texas Style BAR-B-Q and Sonny's BBQ, as well as SeaWorld Orlando's own chefs. You can buy various meal combinations with tasty meat and side dishes to fill any appetite. Wash it all down with brew from among the comprehensive craft beer selection. If you do the samplers, you'll get the chance to taste plenty of different varieties.
Even though there are plenty of adult beverages, kids are welcome at the event, too. They can meet Shamu and other costumed characters, talk to educators, learn about animals, and play interactive games, and create masterpieces at the coloring station.
The video above shows highlights from last year's event to give you some idea of what to expect. It runs every weekend through March 9, when a Patrick Gibson concert closes out the season.
Harley-Davidson is an event sponsor, so if you ride your bike to SeaWorld Orlando, you'll get free parking. You can also take photos of some of the 2014 models that will be on display.

Bonne Finken showed the crowd at Ingersoll Live on Saturday night why she was named Des Moines' "Best Local Musician" by Cityview and their readers earlier this year. Finken's shows have an electricity to them, and last night's show was no different. No one in the area right now can match her intensity on stage, and very few have the energy that she has. Finken flat out brings it live, and she leaves every ounce of energy on the stage.
Bonne Finken has always surrounded herself with talented musicians, and her current band is nearly the perfect mix to showcase her songs. Seth Hedquist can really tear it up on guitar—as evidenced by the band's rendition of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love", which showcases not only his chops on the guitar, but Finken's vocal range. Jon Locker is not only a rock on bass, but he also recorded and produced many of the songs on Finken's stellar new album Fairytales/LoveAffairs and even co-wrote two of the songs. Russ Tomlinson is a whirlwind on the drums and, along with Christine Parmerlee, provides backing vocals. Pat Williams on turntables takes Finken's songs to the next level, and Michael Pfaff (Snacks/Dirty Little Rabbits) on keyboards and auxiliary percussion adds versatility, personality, and style.
In the end, though, it all comes back to Bonne Finken's incredible voice, talent, and heart. Finken's shy, quiet demeanor off stage is replaced by an explosion of sound and fury when the show begins. That explosion is what is winning her new fans at every show. It is what makes songs like "Step Back Baby", "Fall", and "I'mNotWaiting" from Finken's new album even better live, as the audience saw on Saturday, than they are recorded. Finken performed songs like "Possible Impossible", "Mysterious", and "No Street Name" from previous albums, but the focus last night was definitely on the new album. —And why not? The album has been added at radio stations all over the country, and it has all the elements necessary to make Finken Iowa's next big nationwide star.
Check out pictures from Finken's Ingersoll Live performance in the accompanying slideshow.

College Hockey:College Hockey America Starts Division I Women's League
Findlay, Mercyhurst, Niagara And Wayne State To Begin Play in 2002-03
BEMIDJI, Minn. — College Hockey America announced the formation of a new four-team Division I women's hockey league to serve as the counterpart to the men's league created in 1999. The league will begin play immediately in 2002-03.
The inaugural members of the women's CHA are current men's CHA members Findlay, Niagara, and Wayne State, as well as Mercyhurst College, whose men's team plays in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
All four schools are within a relatively short drive of each other, with Niagara and Mercyhurst located in western New York and western Pennsylvania respectively, Wayne State in Detroit, and Findlay in Ohio.
Niagara previously competed in the ECAC Eastern, but the school was not included in the reorganization that occurred when the new Hockey East Women's League was formed in late May. The Purple Eagles finished the 2001-02 regular season, their fifth, with a 26-8-2 overall record and were awarded a bid to the NCAA Division I Women's Tournament. They went on to finish tied for third after a 2-2 deadlock with Minnesota in the consolation game.
Findlay, Mercyhurst, and Wayne State previously competed in the Great Lakes Women's Hockey Association. Most notably, Mercyhurst finished last season with an impressive 24-8-1 record.
The speed of the creation of the CHA Women's League was unexpected even by member schools. CHA Commissioner R.H. "Bob" Peters said, "This came together pretty quickly. We have three teams with CHA connections, Niagara, Wayne State, and Findlay. There was a need for this to get together and organized. Mercyhurst certainly made a great geographic fit."
When left out of the Hockey East re-organization in May, Niagara women's coach Margot Page indicated that she thought that finding a new conference could take a while: "We need a year to put something together. … It's part of the growing pains all over women's hockey, but until we have a game plan … What I'd like to see is the commissioners get together and come up with a [national] five-year plan."
Regarding potential expansion, Peters stated that "we're discussing that now, and it's an open situation. We certainly will entertain any interest from any universities that are exploring women's hockey. The growth and development of the game is great, and we want to provide an opportunity to have a structure for women's hockey. We're certainly open to visiting with other programs, even though we're spread out geographically."
With Niagara joining the former GLWHA schools to form the CHA, only two Division I schools remain with Independent status. Quinnipiac was also left without a home when the formation of Hockey East was announced, but unlike Niagara, it will not be a member of the CHA. The other Independent is North Dakota, which begins its women's varsity program in 2002-03 and appears a candidate for the WCHA down the road.
With the announcement, the number of conferences in women's NCAA Division I hockey stands at four: the CHA, ECAC (last year's ECAC Northern), Hockey East, and WCHA. All four have men's counterparts.
The four CHA schools will compete in a conference postseason tournament on March 8-9, 2003, at Detroit's City Ice Arena. Wayne State University will host the tournament. No conferences receive automatic qualifiers for the NCAA postseaon, but as Peters noted, "The exposure of this tournament will certainly help, and Wayne State will be a good host."

Jon Wiener at The Nation has some fun, and intimates some fear, breaking down the preposterous claim that Sarah Palin is a latter-day Esther.
In a way, Wiener seems to imply that Palin, if she were like Esther, would actually be a champion of the Jewish people. This, he writes, should make Iran, descendant of the great Persian empire central to Esther's story, very scared.
The thing is: As far as anyone can tell, Palin has no opinion about foreign politics. And looking to the Bible for a blueprint of her imagined Middle East is unlikely to accomplish much.
Nonetheless, a significant portion of Wiener's blog post is after the jump:
The parallels are clear. Esther was selected queen in a beauty contest; Palin was runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant.
So Queen Esther apparently provided the role model for the former beauty queen who went to our own king and asked for earmarks for her people.
The Palin/Queen Esther report has sparked a flood of commentary from fundamentalist Christian web sites. One reports that "Sarah Palin, like Esther, was an unlikely choice. Sarah Palin, like Esther, is bold and courageous in the face of fear. Sarah Palin, like Esther, proves you can be loyal and devoted to your family while having a high position. But perhaps, more than anything, . . . we are seeing someone right before our eyes who is capturing the hearts of the American people in a way that defies description" - just like the Bible says, "And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her."
Another says "Every once in a while a woman comes along who is made for the times. Sarah Palin is such a woman. . . . Another woman, Esther, was brought on the scene by God at just the right time. God's timing was perfect for he used Esther to save the Jews"—and now he is using Palin to save the Republicans.
One problem with this view -that God sent Palin the way He sent Esther—is that the Book of Esther never mentions God. It never says God sent Esther to save His people, or even that Esther's belief in God gave her the power to defeat her enemies. Somebody should point this out to the fundamentalists.
If you follow the logic in the story - as another fundamentalist Christian website did - you find a "major, and creepily precise" parallel between the threats to Jews then and now. In Esther's day the threat came from Persia - and what country is the modern successor to Persia? Iran, of course—"the same Iran that has vowed to wipe Israel off the map and is well on their way to acquiring the nuclear weaponry to do so . . . . And along comes tough, clear-eyed, plain-speaking Sarah Palin."
The implications for Palin's Iran policy are clear. In the Bible, after the Jews are saved from annihilation, and after the first day of Jewish revenge against their enemies, the King tells Esther the Jews have killed 500 people, and asks what she wants to do next. Esther says she wants permission for a second day of killing - so the king grants the Jews the right "to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish the entire host of every people and province that oppress them, small children and women, and to take their spoils for plunder."

Says Jolene: "My adult brother is really in to wolves and has amassed a collection of wolf t-shirts. The problem is all wolf apparel looks about the same - black or gray t shirt with a howling wolf on the front. Most of these shirts come off slightly red-neck or cowboy. I want to "jazz" him up a bit but can't find anything suitable. All I want is a classier type of shirt that still incorporates wolves. And believe it or not, I know such a thing exists because I bought him a Henley type shirt about 5 years ago and he wore it to death! Any help?"
This is quite possibly the best personal shopper request that we have ever received. Thank you, Jolene, wherever you are.
Our first thought was that you might be able to find some decent items in the sports-fan category. This 1) Minnesota Timberwolves tee ($18), for example, is reasonably dignified, and the team shop has other designs if this one doesn't satisfy. And if he happens to like Doctor Who, there's this 2) Bad Wolf hoodie ($55).
If giving him either of those would be like giving Linus a towel (JUST NOT THE SAME), there are more straightforwardly wolfish things out there. This 3) polo with a grey wolf embroidered on it ($44) is available in four colors, so he might want to add several to his wardrobe. The 4) Sheep in Wolf's Clothing tee ($18) features an ambiguous design that's a little more suggestive than the average noble-howling-forest-beast, and unless your brother has something against Ontario-based environmental organization Earthroots, their 5) minimalist wolf-sketch tee ($23) seems very wearable.
We don't know if your brother's the belt buckle type, but since the odds seemed good, we've included this 6) wolf belt buckle ($19) - the wolf in this case has a distinctly robotic look.
Of course, it just wouldn't be Outblush if we didn't poke a little fun, so we're also throwing in this 7) Big Bad Wolf bonnet and tail set ($18). Just because. (The look on the model's face is enough to brighten your whole week.)
AwoOOOoo, Jolene! Let us know how we did!
Jolene here, and I can't thank you enough! I never expected my request to get a response - Awesome job! I love all the items but 3, 4, and 5 are my favorites. I am thrilled because now my Christmas shopping just got easier! Thanks again!
Check out these guys!!
hipster werewolf!
Hey, Jolene! Thanks for checking in! We're always glad to hear that our suggestions have turned out to be viable. If you want to send us a picture of your brother decked out in one of these on Christmas morning, we'll post it!
this is awesome! Great job, OB.
i'm not into wolf things personally, but the welsh bad wolf reference to doctor who got my attention!
my only little complaint is that you ladies abbreviated doctor, sadly.
he's just "the doctor," not "dr. who" as though the word "who" was his last name. :\
no more unnecessary abbreviations of super fantastic shows, please?

Is it possible to find the number of lines of code in an entire solution? I've heard of MZ-Tools, but is there an open source equivalent?
An open source line counter for VS2005, 2003 and 2002 is available here:
There is also discussion of creating a line counting VS addin, complete with code on Codeproject, here
Also Slick Edit Gadgets have a nice line-counter, here:
and Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 includes a good line counter.
Just remember though:
I've found powershell useful for this. I consider LoC to be a pretty bogus metric anyway, so I don't believe anything more formal should be required.
From a smallish solution's directory:
That will count the non-blank lines in all the solution's .cs and .xaml files. For a larger project, I just used a different extension list:
Why use an entire app when a single command-line will do it? :)
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate has this built-in.
Analyze -> Calculate Code Metrics
I used Ctrl+Shift+F. Next, put a
Found this tip: LOC with VS Find and replace
Not a plugin though if thats what you are looking for.
cloc is an excellent commandline, Perl-based, Windows-executable which will break down the blank lines, commented lines, and source lines of code, grouped by file-formats.
Now it won't specifically run on a VS solution file, but it can recurse through directories, and you can set up filename filters as you see fit.
Here's the sample output from their web page:
prompt> cloc perl-5.10.0.tar.gz 4076 text files. 3883 unique files. 1521 files ignored. http://cloc.sourceforge.net v 1.07 T=10.0 s (251.0 files/s, 84566.5 lines/s) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language files blank comment code scale 3rd gen. equiv ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perl 2052 110356 112521 309778 x 4.00 = 1239112.00 C 135 18718 22862 140483 x 0.77 = 108171.91 C/C++ Header 147 7650 12093 44042 x 1.00 = 44042.00 Bourne Shell 116 3402 5789 36882 x 3.81 = 140520.42 Lisp 1 684 2242 7515 x 1.25 = 9393.75 make 7 498 473 2044 x 2.50 = 5110.00 C++ 10 312 277 2000 x 1.51 = 3020.00 XML 26 231 0 1972 x 1.90 = 3746.80 yacc 2 128 97 1549 x 1.51 = 2338.99 YAML 2 2 0 489 x 0.90 = 440.10 DOS Batch 11 85 50 322 x 0.63 = 202.86 HTML 1 19 2 98 x 1.90 = 186.20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUM: 2510 142085 156406 547174 x 2.84 = 1556285.03 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third generation equivalent scale is a rough estimate of how much code it would take in a third generation language. Not terribly useful, but interesting anyway.
Answers here are a little bit out of date, may be from vs 2008 time. Because in newer Visual Studio versions 2010/2012, this feature is already built-in. Thus there are no reason to use any extension or tools for it.
Feature to count lines of code - Calculate Metrics. With it you can calculate your metrics (LOC, Maintaince index, Cyclomatic index, Depth of inheritence) for each project or solution.
Just right click on solution or project in Solution Explorer,
and select "Calculate metrics"
Later data for analysis and aggregation could be imported to Excel. Also in Excel you can filter out generated classes, or other noise from your metrics. These metrics including Lines of code LOC could be gathered also during build process, and included in build report
I know that this topic is kind of old, but wanted to post an update for Visual Studio 2012/2013/2015 for those who want to do the "Find" option (which I find to be the easiest): This RegEx will find all non-blank lines with several exclusions to give the most accurate results.
This RegEx excludes the following items:
Multi-Line comments (assuming the lines are correctly commented with a * in front of each line)
XML for Intellisense
HTML Comments:
Using statements:
Opening curly braces:
Closing curly braces:
Note: anything between the braces would be included in the search, but in this example only 4 lines of code would count, instead of 18 actual non-blank lines:
I created this to give me a much more accurate LOC count than some previous options, and figured I would share. The bosses love LOC counts, so I'm stuck with it for a while. I hope someone else can find this helpful, let me know if you have any questions or need help getting it to work.
Regular expressions have changed between VS2010 and 2012, so most of the regular expression solutions here no longer work
Will find all lines that are not blank, are not just a single bracket ( '{' or '}' ) and not just a #include or other preprocessor.
Use Ctrl-shift-f and make sure regular expressions are enabled.
The corresponding regular expression for VS 2010 and older is
In Visual Studio Team System 2008 you can do from the menu Analyze--> 'Calculate Code Metrics for Solution' and it will give you a line count of your entire solution (among other things g)
For future readers I'd like to advise the DPack extension for Visual Studio 2010.
It's got a load of utilities built in including a line counter which says how many lines are blank, code, and etc.
A simple solution is to search in all files. Type in "*" while using wildcards. Which would match all lines. At the end of the find results window you should see a line of the sort:
Of course this is not very good for large projects, since all lines are mached and loaded into memory to be dispayed at the find results window.
I prefer OxyProject Metrics VS Addin.
Obviously tools are easier, but I feel cool doing this in powershell:)
This script finds all the .csproj references in the .sln file, and then within each csproj file it locates files included for compilation. For each file that is included for compilation it creates an object with properties: Solution, Project, File, Lines. It stores all these objects in a list, and then groups and projects the data as needed.
You could use:
Other simple tool For VS2008 (open source): http://www.accendo.sk/Download/SourceStat.zip
Use Menu-> Analyse - > Calculate Code Metrics option in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
You can use the Visual Studio Code Metrics PowerTool 10.0. It's a command-line utility that calculates a few metrics on managed code for you (including lines of code). You can get a VS 2010 plugin that brings the tool into Visual Studio, and makes it as quick as selecting the menu item and clicking "Analyze Solution."
Agree with Ali Parr. The WndTab Line Counter addin is a such tool. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/macros/linecount.aspx
It's also a good idea to search from download site to find some related tool. http://www.cnet.com/1770-5_1-0.html?query=code+counter&tag=srch
Here is the Trick.. It counts the Js file also.
You can use the Project Line Counter add-in in Visual Studio 2010. Normally it doesn't work with Visual Studio 2010, but it does with a helpful .reg file from here: http://www.onemanmmo.com/index.php?cmd=newsitem&comment=news.1.41.0
I came up with a quick and dirty powershell script for counting lines in a folder structure. It's not nearly as full featured as some of the other tools referenced in other answers, but I think it's good enough to provide a rough comparison of the size of code files relative to one another in a project or solution.
The script can be found here:
You can use free tool SourceMonitor
Gives a lot of measures: Lines of Code, Statement Count, Complexity, Block Depth
Has graphical outputs via charts
Try neptuner. It also gives you stuff like spaces, tabs, Lines of comments in addition to LoC. http://neptuner.googlecode.com/files/neptuner_0_30_windows.zip

Berks County GIS History
Geographic Information System technology has existed in Berks County for over two decades. The county first needed digital mapping technology to create and display information about county tax parcels for the use in the
Assessment Office
. The task of creating a tax parcel base was initially contracted to an external source and the maintenance of this information was undertaken by the
Tax Mapping Office
. The base tax parcel digital mapping that the Mapping Office got off the ground in the 1990s is the basis of many other GIS products that the county subsequently created and maintains today.
Since the integration of GIS at the county, the needs have expanded well beyond tax mapping. Another area where GIS plays a role every day is within
Emergency Services
. Addressing roads and providing updates to GIS information about them is integral in proper response to emergency situations. Today the GIS Office is housed within the
Information Systems Department
and it plays a role in servicing the geospatial needs of additional departments. Some other departments that have embraced the technology and use it as part of the daily business practices are as follows:
Planning Commission
District Attorney
Election Services
Agricultural Land Preservation
to name a few.
Other departments continue to realize the importance of GIS and its worth in their daily operations. This technology has become a mainstay in county government and can further aid these departments in better serving the citizens of Berks County.

It's always exciting for me to try new wines from brand new wineries, and its doubly exciting when the wines are actually good. Lots of people spend an awful lot of time and money creating wineries in Napa or Sonoma and end up with wines that are barely noticeable in the sea of average wines available from the region.
If the inaugural release of wines from Arista Winery weren't noticed, it certainly wasn't because they were average. I guarantee that while you might not have heard of this Sonoma winery, if you enjoy Pinot Noir you will hear about them soon. I don't think I've had a set of debut wines from any winery that has been so consistently well made and delicious. These folks are about to have greatness thrust upon them.
Arista is a new project for John Copeland and Al McWilliams. Orthodontist Al McWilliams and his wife wanted to live and work in Sonoma County ever since they first visited from their home in Texarkana, Texas. When Al Gained a brother-in-law in wine industry veteran John Copeland, that dream became a reality. In 1996 the two started a winery called Pine Mountain Vineyards just outside of Cloverdale. That project, however, was just a stepping stone towards their shared dream of making Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. In 2003 these two purchased fruit from several vineyards in the area while looking for a piece of land to start their own winery. In early 2004 they found that land: 36 prime acres of land on Westside Road near Healdsburg.
The wines below from 2003 vintage are the first commercial release for the winery, which will continue to use some purchased fruit until all of its own vineyards are ready. Even then, the goal will be to focus on small lots of carefully grown and harvested Pinot Noir from around the valley. Of the four wines below, I believe the Harper's Rest Pinot is the only one made from a vineyard that is now part of the estate. Harper's Rest is named after Reuben Harper, a pioneer in the area in the early 1800's. When he passed away in 1857 he was buried under a large Bay tree which overlooks the vineyard which now bears his name.
The Arista wines are made by Leslie Sisneros, who comes to the estate from nearly 13 years as a winemaker for Rodney Strong, Chateau St. Jean, Haywood, John Culbertson, Vinwood, and most recently, Kendall Jackson. At Kendall-Jackson she was responsible for a large portion of their entire four-tier portfolio of Pinot Noirs, and in this position she made wines from a majority of the major Pinot growing areas of Northern California. Sisneros also has a degree in Viticulture from UC Davis.
I don't know much about Sisneros' the winemaking process and practices at Arista, other than the fact that they all aged in 100% new French oak for 10 months, except for the Harper's wine, which was only 50% new.
The most attentive of my readers might not even notice this, but I have slightly revised my scores for a couple of these wines that I tasted at the Pinot on The River tasting earlier in the year. The Harper's Rest I've evaluated at a 9.5 instead of a 9/9.5 while the Toboni I have rated a 9/9.5 instead of a 9.5. C'est la vie.
Full disclosure: I received these wines as press samples.
2003 Arista "Ferrington Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, CA
Medium garnet in color, this wine has a lovely nose of cranberry, raspberry, and plum aromas. In the mouth it is medium bodied but with a lightness on the palate that comes from excellent balance, good acidity, and primary flavors of cranberry, plum, rhubarb and cedar. The wine has very fine. light tannins and slight earthy notes in the finish which is substantial. Score: 9/9.5. Cost: $50. Where to buy?
2003 Arista "Harper's Rest" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, CA
A medium ruby color in the glass, this wine has a floral nose of pomegranate nectar, cranberry, and light scents of flowers. In the mouth however it is powerful and lush, with flavors of earth, tea, cranberry and plums dominating the complex but balanced package. This wine has great acidity and a tartness that makes me want to drink a lot more, plus a lovely, very long finish with hints of vanilla and spices. Score: 9.5. Cost: $50. Where to buy?
2003 Arista "Mononi Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, CA
Medium garnet in color, this wine has a shy nose with light aromas of violets and aromatic herbs (lavender?) mixed with cherry. In the mouth it is silky and smooth with primary flavors of tart cherries supported by mysterious notes of mixed herbs or as the French would say, garrigue. There's definitely a touch of rosemary in the wine as it finishes long and lean. Score: 9/9.5. Cost: $50. Where to buy?
2003 Arista "Toboni Vineyard" Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, CA
Medium ruby colored in the glass, this wine's noseis of violets, plums, and black raspberries. In the mouth it is tightly coiled, with flavors of black tea and cherries, and plums packed into a lean structure that is not as expressive as the other wines at the moment, though with a little time this wine may very well blossom into something more expansive and delicate. The finish is moderate in length and pleasant.
Score: 9/9.5. Cost: $50. Where to buy?

My solar panels were installed today! It was quite an operation with four trucks and about eight guys, and they were here all afternoon working on it. The panels will be inspected by the city next week, and inspected by the electric company after that. Then they go live! So exciting.
I highly recommend SolarCity. I'm leasing these panels for $37 a month, which is about the same price as my electric bill. No installation fee or upfront costs, and the term is 20 years.

The first type of possession is "FAULT BASED" and means the tenant has broken some term of the tenancy. Fault based possession can be started at any time in the tenancy term. We do not recommend landlords to follow this procedure without instructing a solicitor.
On this page we explain in more detail exactly what a section 8 notice is (which deals with fault based possession), steps to serving a section 8 notice and links to download a section 8 notice and N5/N119 court forms.
A 'Section 8 notice' is also known as a 'section 8 possession notice', because it operates under section 8 of the Housing Act 1988. A section 8 notice can only be issued to a tenant who has breached the terms laid out in the tenancy agreement and if certain conditions have been met, the most common being one involving rent arrears. The Housing Act 1988 provides 17 grounds on which a landlord may seek possession before the fixed term of tenancy has finished.
(These grounds for possession apply to tenancies entered into after 15 January 1989)
Ground 1 can be used if the property to be repossessed was, or after the let is intended to be, returned to the landlord as their own home. For this ground to be successful the landlord must have notified the tenant in writing before the tenancy started, that he intended one day to ask for the property back on this ground.
Ground 2 relates to a lender's right to possession. If the property is subject to a mortgage the landlord will often be required to serve this notice on the tenants.
Ground 3 requires that the fixed term is less than eight months and the property has been let as a holiday home within the preceding 12 months.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama on Friday called on Japan and South Korea to hold summit talks to resolve the issue of wartime sex slavery that has deteriorated bilateral ties.
"There is no way to resolve the issue unless the leaders have candid talks based on the current situation," Murayama told a meeting in Seoul hosted by the South Korean government-backed Northeast Asian History Foundation. Many women who were forced to work at wartime Japanese military brothels were from the Korean Peninsula.
Murayama, 90, who is best known for issuing a 1995 statement apologizing for Japan's wartime colonial rule and aggression against its Asian neighbors, said the Japanese government should feel responsibility for the sexual servitude issue and settle the problem as a state.
"Based on past background, the state should reflect on the issue with a sense of responsibility and try to make a breakthrough as state responsibility to settle the matter," said the member of the Social Democratic Party.
A 1993 statement issued by then Chief Cabinet Secretary Yohei Kono on the issue of women forced into sex slavery, euphemistically known as "comfort women" in Japan, acknowledged the Japanese military's responsibility over the forced recruitment of women and apologized to the victims.
But Tokyo does not acknowledge state responsibility as demanded by South Korea.

Sadly, after over an hour of searching I have come to the conclusion that no one takes pictures of me, and pictures of Quinn are hard to get because he starts acting squirrely the minute the camera comes out.
So, regarding the before and after pictures this is the best I can do:
Before the dreads were put in
My hair after sectioning it for dreads
after dreading - I actually really liked them here. It is when they began to loop up on themselves creating dreads that were up to three times larger in circumference at the bottom as they were at the top that I started to dislike them. I do not know if this was due to my hair type or to the method that we used.
Here is one of only three pictures that I could find of my dreads over a year old.
Here is how I usually wore it
So, there you have it.
