EU Sustainable Energy Week
Brussels, Belgium
From 16- 22 June 2012 the EU Sustainable Energy Week takes place with a large number of events in several countries in and even outside of Europe. This year, Ecofys will be represented by two speakers at two different joint events during the EU Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels.
David de Jager, Managing Consultant Integrated Energy Systems
David de Jager will give an opening address at Power to the people: Can citizens lead Europe's future energy strategy? on 19 June in Brussels. The debate means to explore how different the future may look given our traditional model of centralised energy supply in Europe. It brings together two panels of experts and key actors in the renewable energy field to discuss which role an emerging decentralised energy supply may play in creating a more sustainable energy policy for Europe.
David de Jager will also participate in the second session: Realising our emerging vision: Working together –Overcoming key barriers.
|Joint event:
|Power to the people
|Date and time:
|19 June, 09:30AM – 13:00PM
|Charlemagne Building, Brussels, Belgium
Edith Molenbroek, Senior Consultant Buildings
On 21 June Edith Molenbroek is one of the speakers at Ecodesign: Energizing European Economies. During this event she will give a presentation of the study "Ecodesign: improving European economies", highlighting the economic benefits of Ecodesign. Ecodesign is one of the key topics during the Sustainable Energy Week event. The EU Ecodesign Directive aims at reducing the environmental impact of a number of products sold in the EU, with emphasis on their energy consumption. On behalf of the Dutch environmental organisation Natuur en Milieu, Ecofys investigated economic benefits related to the Directive and will present its potential regarding energy savings and energy security.

TNA changes format for the Lockdown PPV?
Feb 12, 2013 - by Steve Gerweck
PWInsider.com reports that the upcoming TNA Lockdown event will no longer be an all Cage match pay-per-view.
The plan within the company is to have the top matches inside a cage, but for the under card matches to be standard ring setup matches.
The PPV has been all-cage matches since it began in 2005.

the old homestead has served you well, and maybe you've awakened at 2 a.m. and
heard a real-estate guru's infomercial on how much money you can make by amassing
But before you become a landlord -- especially
the absentee variety -- make sure you can get the right answers to these seven
the numbers add up? Determine what fair-market rent is in the area through
for-rent ads or rental agencies. Then add up the home's fixed costs: mortgage,
taxes, insurance and any utility or property-maintenance expenses that the renter
won't be required to pay. Add in a buffer for a contingency fund. Will the difference
between the two sums make it worth your effort?
you know your state's landlord-tenant laws? Study landlord-tenant
rights and duties in your state. They vary. (Laws, information, links and forms
are available at sites such as mrlandlord.com,
rentlaw.com, landlord-tenant-online.com
and vacancynet.com.)
you legally rent? In the case of condominiums, it's best to check with
the condo association or board to make sure you can lease out the place on the
up and up. Also, some zoning restrictions and neighborhood associations near universities
may limit conversion of single-family homes into rentals for college students.
Is your location desirable?
The most successful rent homes are generally near good schools and shopping centers,
but not too close to other rental properties.
are the tax consequences? Know them. In most cases, you can sell your house
up to three years after not occupying it and still pocket a capital-gains tax
exemption. You can also take depreciation when you're renting it to a tenant,
and even write off some travel expenses for site visits. Contact a financial expert
for the details.
Will you be returning?
Be clear about limitations or rent-credits for painting, wallpapering, draperies,
blinds and other physical changes. Be honest with the tenant if you plan to reoccupy
at a specific point. A surprise eviction may spur tenant retaliation.
minding the home front? Someone you trust (preferably yourself) must be
prepared to show the house, make periodic checks and minor repairs, give notice
when rent isn't paid and even appear in court if necessary.

As a long time phins fan, I can give the perspective and make poignant and timely comments about a team I have loved my whole life. I am quite technically sound in social media as well. I am homer though. I will probably spin the positive before I go negative. However, I can criticize when there is an obvious point of contention. I follow the Dolphins 365 days a year. I know that before the first game, it is important to highlight the "success" possibilities. When we lose, people want to vent. I am well aware of the energy in south Florida and I listen to Sports Radio. One selling point given the demographics in the Miami area is I have a Latin surname. Robert F, (Bobbyc) Camacho, CPA

I really would love this job. I sit in front of a computer 16 hours a day

Which courses (undergrad level but also master's level) in mathematics and statistics should be taken by a student aiming for a PhD in mathematical biology?
The basics I imagine are: Calculus courses, linear algebra and probability.
But then I would guess other important courses would be: ODE, PDE, Complex analysis(?), Fourier analysis(?), Markov chains(?) (the ones with (?) I am unsure about).

HEADLINES : Florida
Florida Governor Rick Scott Supports Medicaid Expansion
Gov. Rick Scott said Wednesday he supports expanding Medicaid and funneling billions of federal dollars to Florida, a significant policy reversal that could bring health care coverage to 1 million additional Floridians.
Throughout his 2010 campaign for governor, as Scott sought support from tea party members, he called the law a "job-killer" that would hurt Florida.
Scott was careful to point out that the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature will ultimately decide whether or not his proposal is worth implementing. That is far from certain, particularly in the more partisan House.
"Gov. Scott has made his decision and I certainly respect his thoughts," said House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel. "However, the Florida Legislature will make the ultimate decision. I am personally skeptical that this inflexible law will improve the quality of health care in our state and ensure our long-term financial stability."

Facebook is being sued over allegations that it intercepts and reads each user's private messages in order to share the data with marketers, according to BBC News on Jan. 2.
The lawsuit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and claims that Facebook intentionally intercepts and scans users' private messages for shared URLs and other data.
The lawsuit also goes on to say that Facebook shares its findings with data aggregators, advertisers and marketers, and by doing this, Facebook has violated the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and California's privacy laws.
Facebook has allegedly "falsely" represented to its users that content of their messages are "private" and free from surveillance. However, users actually gave Facebook permission to use their data for anything it wants to when signing up for an account.
From Facebook's own statement of rights and responsibilities,
For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings:
You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License).
The lawsuit, brought on by Matthew Campbell and Michael Hurley on behalf of all Facebook users, claims the practice of mining users' data is not only sneaky, but also very lucrative, stating that Facebook has access to information about users that is "likely unavailable to other data aggregators".
Says Campbell and Hurley, "Users who believe they are communicating on a service free from surveillance are likely to reveal facts about themselves that they would not reveal had they known the content was being monitored."
Facebook denies all allegations set forth in the lawsuit, calling them "without merit". According to Facebook, in 2010, changes were made to its algorithm that synchronized its private messaging and chat service. Those changes, reportedly, included enhanced privacy controls.
The class-action lawsuit is asking for the greater of either $100 a day for each day of alleged violations or $10,000 for each user. Facebook added that the company will defend itself "vigorously".

Chef Brian Ralph prepares 2,000 healthy meals every school day for children in Utah's Head Start program.
Largely because fast and processed food is often less expensive than fresh, kids from low-income families are more likely to become overweight or obese.
Visitors are advised to stand out of the way.
Two thousand meals get loaded onto the trucks every morning by 9 from Head Start's Northstar Kitchen. It's organized chaos as each driver packs ingredients for three meals in various tubs. Today's menu includes a fresh-baked croissant roll, a banana and milk for breakfast; spinach-stuffed meatloaf, rice pilaf, cauliflower/broccoli medley, an orange and milk for lunch; and a mini pita and a slice of cheese for a snack. The budget? Two dollars per child.
Genial Chef Brian Ralph, director of food services, over sees the action, making sure each driver gets everything he needs, including reusable plates and silverware. Like every chef, he has a vested interest in the quality of his food; but Ralph doesn't get to see the final plated meal. These drivers are also his cooks - each one delivers food to one of 80 Utah schools, does the final preparation and serves it to the kids enrolled in that school's Head Start program.
This is one of only two programs like this in the country, designed to provide children ages birth to 5 with nutritious, well-balanced meals that will not only nourish them now, but - it is hoped - will set some lifetime eating habits.
"It usually takes about three times for the kids to develop a taste for a new dish," Ralph says. "What we don't do is offer another option." Other school dietitians call him for advice and recipes. "They'll say, 'Oh, our kids won't drink plain milk,'" he says. "And I say, that's because tyou offer them chocolate - and strawberry-flavored milk. Change the choice: offer them milk or water."'
"It's all about learning to make the right choices," says Ralph. "Kids aren't really capable of that, so you have to help them along."
Ralph's tuna casserole is made with fresh tuna, not canned. He puts salmon on his menu several times a month. To the objection, "My kid won't eat fish," his response is, "Keep serving it."
Northstar also offers cooking classes for working parents and teen mothers and training for dietitians and staff at other child care and educational centers.
For more information, call Ralph at 801-618-4675.

Wednesday evening I had the priviledge of organizing the Seaside BOF (birds of a feather) session at Smalltalk Solutions. This meant that I was the one up at the microphone (which I pushed aside since the room wasn't big) for most of an hour and a half. It was fun and I didn't feel put on the spot since this was more of a round table than anything. I only had to try and direct the conversation some.
Here is James Robertson's blog entry with a photo of me presenting.
I'm very small in the frame, but yeah that's me all right. You can make out the Run BASIC web page up on the screen if you look carefully.
The demo was a little bit scary since I was modifying the Run BASIC code almost right up to the last second before the meeting. Scott and I were spending most of our free time at the conference working on some simple CSS integration. I'm hoping to put a screencast up to show how it all works.

Did to get to see Dr. No and Lawrence of Arabia?
Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area during the 1960s was… interesting – History would have a way of occasionally butting into an otherwise typical suburban boyhood. The memory of John F. Kennedy's inauguration comes back to me in a Proustian sort of way through the taste of hot chocolate, which my father administered to me in an attempt to thaw me out during the bitter cold of January 20, 1961; Ask not what your country can do for you… went right over my head – I was trying to ward off frostbite.
In the fall of 1962, I was eleven – my chief concerns were building models, wangling visits downtown to see my favorite museum, and trying to figure out how to get to see Dr. No and Lawrence of Arabia, both of which opened around that time. I don't recall when I became aware of the doings in Cuba – that the Soviet Union had shipped missiles there that threatened our survival, and that President Kennedy had ordered a strict naval blockade, and that war was right around the corner. If my parents were worried – and they must have been – they hid it very well, or more likely I was just oblivious. My friends and I at Kensington Junior High had heard that some fathers had disappeared – had been secretly sent to what would later be called Undisclosed Locations. But my dad rather disappointingly stayed put, and the one kid I knew who said his father, who worked for the Government Printing Office, had vanished, was widely suspected of lying.
What I mainly remember of the Cuban Missile Crisis was a map published in either the Washington Post or Star. It showed the Washington area with concentric circles radiating out from the White House, illustrating what sort of effects an H-bomb detonation would have – something similar to this, I think. It showed that the downtown area would essentially be vaporized, and lethal blast effects could be expected all the way out to Chevy Chase Circle on the border of D.C. and Maryland. My friends and I discussed the map endlessly. We, out in the leafy Maryland suburbs, could expect a fair amount of blast, but our sturdy brick ramblers could probably take it, we thought – bad luck on any dads caught downtown, though. But the fallout was worrisome. We could expect, the map warned us, a fair amount of gamma radiation out our way. None of our families had fallout shelters, even though they were conveniently offered for sale at a nearby used car lot. I believe our gang decided that we would just hunker down in our basements and hope for the best. One of the guys pointed out that although the map did show the H-bomb detonating neatly over the White House, the Soviets were quite capable of missing the target – Ground Zero might turn out to be nearby Wheaton Plaza, instead. In which case, all of our careful calculations, and ourselves – were toast…
So my friends and I assumed that we were all going to die, but I don't recall that we were terribly concerned by the thought. At the height of the crisis, our school had a nuclear attack drill – no duck and cover for us; we were all sent home so we could be blown up with our families. As my buddies and I walked home, our main topic was – was it to be bombers, or missiles? Strolling down Kensington Parkway, we looked up at the clear blue autumn sky, and watched for contrails.

Watch a video of Dino Brugioni, former senior official of the information branch of the National Photographic Interpretation Center tell of the Cuban Missile crisis in Eyeball to Eyeball: The Inside (Photographic) Story of the Cuban Missile Crisis, recorded on Friday, October 19 in the Airbus IMAX Theater, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA.

Did to get to see Dr. No and Lawrence of Arabia?
This is such an interesting line: "So my friends and I assumed that we were all going to die, but I don't recall that we were terribly concerned by the thought." Since everything is "threat level orange" today, I think we can really identify with the nonchalance these kids felt. Thanks for the great post! Really liked your other Cuban Missile Crisis post, too.
There would seem to be some irony in the Soviet missile site in Cuba being laid out in the form of an awkward Star of David as shown in your U-2 reconnaissance photo. dd
I remember it well, but from the other coast. My dad was an officer in the US Navy, and was somewhere in the Pacific Ocean on a carrier in the fall of '62 – undoubtedly he and his shipmates were busier than one-armed paperhangers with scenario drills out there in the vast blue. I remember feeling somewhat vulnerable, yet also pretty clueless about the whole "blown to sand and glass" thing …
I guess the nuclear war fear was at its highest in the 60's but I also remember it from the 80's Reagan/Brezhnev/Andropov period. We were gathered together in the school yard and the head manager told everybody that we should not always believe what they tell us on TV. Very courageous of him I think.
As is usual with your accounts of things, this one is both a whimsical and a serious depiction of a most personal state of mind, done as if you were re-inhabiting that young person's mind and outlook, a very difficult thing to do at a later stage in life.
By the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis I was 22 years old, working for a living (I would soon go back to school to restart a college career cut tragically short at age 18 by deep immaturity and an inability to find my classes). I remember being glued to the TV, very worried about the confrontation, but I don't remember many details. I was at that point in my life beginning to be a political junkie. My friends were all liberals, as was I, but they had already adopted a defined and negative view of America which I found too facile, though I couldn't easily articulate why. Most of them were romantically supportive of Fidel Csstro, so felt that he was right if he wanted missiles in his country, and damn the consequences. I thought that the Russians were deliberately trying to provoke us and that Cuba was, for them, merely a convenient location from which to threaten us. I never felt that at that time the Russians gave a rip about Cuba itself or about Castro. So I thought all the passion for Cuba was misdirected and slightly absurd. But that was just me.
The whole idea of what effect this would have on our state capital or anywhere else for that matter is not just limited to what was depicted in the 60s. Even today, no one is completely safe from any threats of war. But as a kid growing up, how many things did we really understand if we had never experienced them?

Kevin Harvick dominated Phoenix International Raceway once again and won The Profit on CNBC 500 after leading 224-laps on Sunday afternoon. It was Harvick's second straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win at Phoenix and his first with his new team Stewart-Hass Racing.
"To add an extra team, bring in a bunch of new guys, new driver, (crew chief) Rodney Childers has just done a phenomenal job of putting this together," Harvick said. "These guys all want to win, that is why they came here. That is why I came here."
Sunday was Harvick's fifth win at Phoenix, a series record, and his 24th NSCS career win.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second and is the current leader in the NSCS standings.
"Yeah we had a great car," Earnhardt said. "Harvick was fast all weekend, congratulations to him and his whole team..Right at the end of the race I think we were a little bit quicker than Kevin. Just real, real happy with the cars, just hate to come home second but that No. 4 (Harvick0 was quick all week."
Brad Keselowski, who started on the pole, finished third. Joey Logano, who led 71-laps, finished fourth and Jeff Gordon rounded out the Top-5.
"He (Harvick) was good everywhere," Keselowski said. "I am not sure there was anywhere he didn't have an advantage."
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Sin City for the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The green flag is set to drop on Sunday, March 9 at 3 p.m. (ET)

The family of Bahia Bisharat has scheduled a Saturday morning search, in the area of St. Charles Community College in Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, the last known sighting of the missing teen. She hasn't been seen or heard from since March 19. Investigators with the St. Charles County Sheriff's Office will not be participating, as they say the area has been throughly searched already and there is no sign of her.
Bahia did arrived at the campus that morning, and was seen by friends, but didn't attend any classes. When she didn't come home at all that night, her mother went to the campus on March 20 and found her car in the parking lot, unlocked, keys in the ignition. Also inside the car were Bahia's possessions and a note that said "Goodbye." Did Bahia write this and just walk away from her life?
Investigators say there is no signs of foul play, but her family continues to believe she has been abducted. The Samsung tablet and debit card that went missing with Bahia have not been used, and there has been no sign of her. Earlier in the week, a sighting of her at a restaurant nearly 3 hours away garnered some attention, but in the end, it wasn't her. There was also a report of an attempted abduction of fellow student at Bahia's college, which is concerning, especially added to the multiple attempted child abductions in that area recently. Was the beautiful teen abducted?
Still, her family does not believe she would run away. Her disappearance occurred just 3 days before her graduation from nursing school, something she has been extremely focused on, as well as her 19th birthday. Relatives close to her say she had no boyfriends, saying her career focus and general just being young and living life made her reject the idea of dating and marriage at this time. So, where is Bahia? She is 5'10", 140 pounds, with dark hair and brown eyes. If you have seen her, or know anything about her disappearance, please call 911.

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold. I would like to understand why the moduli space of flat $U(1)$-connections modulo gauge equivalence is the torus $$ H^1(M;\mathbb{R})/H^1(M;\mathbb{Z}). $$ How should I see this?

I'm not sure about arbitrary manifolds, but there is an easy answer for compact Riemann surfaces.
Let $\Sigma\times G\to \Sigma$ be the trivial $G$-bundle over a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$. There is a bijective correspondence between gauge equivalence classes of flat connections and representations of the fundamental group (in the gauge group) $\mathrm{Hom}(\pi_{1}(\Sigma),G)$, modulo conjugation by $G$.
When $G = U(1)$ you don't have much choice for a representation. The Seifert-Van Kampen theorem gives the following presentation of $\pi_{1}(\Sigma) = \langle \alpha_{1},\beta_{1},\dots,\alpha_{g},\beta_{g} \,\vert\, \prod_{i} [\alpha_{i},\beta_{i}] = 1 \rangle$. How can you describe a representation $\rho: \pi_{1}(\Sigma) \to G$? Just pick a target for each of the generators while ensuring that the relations are still satisfied. In this case, $U(1)$ is abelian so there is nothing to be done. A representation is just a selection of $2g$ points in a circle - i.e. we have that:
$\mathcal{A}_{fl} / \mathcal{G} = U(1)^{2g} = H^{1}(M;\mathbb{R})/H^{1}(M;\mathbb{Z})$

There has been a lot of talk of some huge 300 class mule deer sheds recently found (spring 2007). I am not going to go into a lot of detail here and leave that up to the person who found them at the right time. Just wanted to let you know that they are legit and they are big. Should be the biggest non-typical mule deer sheds ever found or ever known. Let me at least throw a few numbers out there. The sheds have been scored at 307 1/8 gross and 301 4/8 net non-typical using just a 24-inch inside spread (277 4/8 without an inside spread). These 16×12 point sheds also have an estimated 46-inch outside spread. Ouch! Very impressive.
You will be able to see these world class sheds in the upcoming 2008 King's Mule Deer Calendar.

New lunch program could mean free meals for more students
Several high-poverty schools in Elkhart County could give a free lunch to every student, regardless of need, under a new program from the United States Department of Agriculture.
School meals are already cheap or free for some Elkhart County students.
Now, meals could be free for all students who attend schools where a high proportion of students are in need, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
Schools with more than 40 percent of students on SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program), TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) or another means-tested assistance program could apply for a new USDA program that gives every student in those schools a free lunch.
Five schools in Elkhart — Beardsley, Mary Beck, Mary Daly, Roosevelt and Woodland — qualify, according to food services director Pam Melcher.
Two elementary schools in Goshen — Chamberlain and Chandler — and two in the Concord district — South Side and West Side — could also be eligible, according to the USDA's analysis of those schools' percentages of students in need.
The USDA touts the program, called Community Eligibility Provision, as a way to streamline paperwork at schools where kids are getting a lot of government aid.
It could also cut down on work for food service employees, who could potentially set up kiosks where students grab their own food instead of collecting money in cafeteria lines, a release from the USDA suggested.
Sherry Faulkner, director of food services for Goshen schools, said she's happy this new program is being offered to schools.
"This may provide opportunities for free meals at schools where that wasn't available before," she said. "In schools that do (the new program), parents won't have to pay for lunches anymore, no matter what their eligibility."
The USDA says Chamberlain and Chandler elementary schools in Goshen are eligible, but Faulkner said she's not sure exactly what would change at those schools.
Chamberlain and West Goshen Elementary are both already giving free meals to every student under provision 2 of the federal school meal program, because both schools have a high percentage of students who qualify for aid.
Ninety percent of Chamberlain students already qualify for free or reduced price lunch, while 80 percent of West Goshen students qualify. West Goshen was not one of the schools identified as eligible for the new program.
Schools have until June 30 to decide whether to apply for the Community Eligibility Provision, and changes will go into effect for the 2014-15 school year.
Concord's South Side and West Side elementary schools could qualify for the program, but Concord's food services director Janice Vander Reyden said the district hasn't made a decision on whether to apply.
"At this point in time, we are still in that learning process and we aren't really ready or able to make a decision one way or another on it," Vander Reyden said. "My managers and I have discussed it just very briefly."
She added that 68 percent of South Side students and 89 percent of West Side students qualify for free or reduced price meals already.
Elkhart's Pam Melcher also said the district is working out whether this new program would be beneficial, partially because of its financial impact.
School districts determine how many students are directly certified for aid under SNAP or similar programs and multiply that number by 1.6, Melcher said.
That's how much schools will get reimbursed from the federal government if they offer free meals to all under the Community Eligibility Provision plan. The rest is up to school districts to pay.
The closer a school is to getting 100 percent reimbursement from the USDA, the better it is for the school district, Melcher said.
Melcher said a decision on whether Elkhart schools will participate in Community Eligibility will be made within the next two weeks.

"Have Your Breasts Always Looked Like That?"
My mother was a woman of large and voluptuous personality, the kind of person who fills up a room when she walks into it. Her body was large and voluptuous too, which left her an intermittent if never particularly successful dieter. But there was one body part -- two, actually -- in which she seemed to glory: her breasts.
In our family, the story was told of how she battled the maternity ward nurses in Exeter, New Hampshire, where she gave birth in 1953, for the right to breastfeed her daughter. That baby was me.
For all my years of growing up, my mother possessed a prodigiously energetic style of demonstrating her love (the kind that seemed to burst out of her dress and spill onto you), and even after I'd grown up and left home, she didn't let up a whole lot in the mothering department. Being the recipient of all this attention and affection was a mixed blessing, but this much I knew: There was no more comforting place to be than pressed against her bosom. It probably says something about my marriage that, even into my 20s and 30s, this continued to be true.
On Mother's Day of 1989, I got a phone call telling me that my gloriously robust 66-year-old mother was suffering from an inoperable brain tumor. Within the hour I'd hired a babysitter to help my husband take care of our three children -- ages 5, 7, and 11 -- and flew to Toronto to care for her in what turned out to be the last summer of her life.
One afternoon, the two of us were out on her patio, soaking up the sun. I had taken off my shirt, and my mother leaned over from her wheelchair and studied me hard. She said, "Have your breasts always looked like that?"
Well, no, they hadn't. Although, unlike her, I'd always been small-breasted, I had, like her, enthusiastically nursed all of my children -- and I had the droopy chest to prove it.
But there was no time, just then, to grieve over my breasts; I was too busy grieving for my mother. And for my marriage. My husband and I had been going through hard times for months (truthfully, years) before her diagnosis; now, facing the loss of my mother, I wanted desperately to salvage my relationship. I flew home partway through the summer for what was meant to be a romantic weekend with my husband at a little bed-and-breakfast, but the trip didn't go well. Sitting across from me at a restaurant in the picturesque town of Newfane, Vermont, watching as a single tear flowed down my cheek and splashed onto a very good cut of untouched steak, my husband had regarded me, not unkindly, but much as an interviewer would in the moments before easing out a job candidate who was not going to be hired. "I'm sorry, Joyce," he'd said. "I just don't have anything for you."
My mother died that October, around the time I learned that my husband had fallen in love with our babysitter. So my mother was dead and my marriage was over, and I found myself, at 35, entering what I look back on as the darkest, loneliest season of my life.
My mother was nowhere close to being wealthy, but she left me some money and I used it in a number of odd ways to relieve the grief that seemed about to pull me under. I joined the Y and swam laps like a woman training for a channel crossing. I bought a great many CDs. I purchased tinted contact lenses to change my eyes from brown to green, and when the world looked no different, I tried purple ones. In the new house I'd found, I installed a very fancy kind of shower, in which the water squirted out from all directions. None of this did the trick.
I did acquire a boyfriend, however. And sometime that winter, I found myself lying naked beside him as he looked over at my breasts with a faintly troubled expression. "Not that you need it," he said. "But have you ever considered cosmetic surgery?"
From that moment on, I thought of nothing but. At the Y, I studied the breasts of women in the locker room with as much attention as any man has ever given any breast -- analyzing size and shape and the various ways they might sit on a woman's chest, other than how mine did, which now struck me as a metaphor for how I was feeling: deflated (empty, in fact) and heading in a steadily downward direction.

The Philadelphia Phillies' 2014 roster is hardly reminiscent of their 2007-2011 playoff squads, even though the retention of some core players from those years has been overly-stated in every digital dimension during the past two non-post-season years. And now the end of the 'Jayson Nix Era' has arrived, which serves to underscore the Phillies' ongoing dilemma.
Nix was bought from the Tampa Bay Rays at the end of March with hopes that the utility infielder could provide Ryne Sandberg with increased flexibility. Flexibility was a key off-season term that general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. and Sandberg touted during numerous hot stove stops. Both men clearly identified the right concept, but have been unable to find the right players to fill their evolving roster hopes.
Nix, the not-nearly-as-famous (total jab intended) brother of fellow Amaro obtainee Laynce Nix, has never distinguished himself across parts of seven major league seasons. Obviously, the 31-year-old is a borderline big leaguer, at best. So, he apparently constituted the best available option the Phillies could find to fill Freddy Galvis' backup spot at the time.
Since the season began, the following pitchers have found themselves on and then off the Phillies' major league roster: Brad Lincoln, Jonathan Pettibone, Justin De Fratus and B.J. Rosenberg. The same is true for the following positional players: Galvis and now Nix.
Approximately one-quarter of the Phillies' opening day roster proved to be so ineffective that prior to mid-May's arrival it was collectively replaced. In other words, Sandberg has basically been playing with no more than 75% of a useful major league roster through approximately one-quarter of this still-new season. To his credit and the weakness of the National League East, the Phillies are only two games under .500 (17-19) and only four games out of first place.
Left fielder Darin Ruf (who also is Ryan Howard's backup) is rehabbing in Lehigh Valley and will soon be ready to swing for the fences again. Tony Gwynn, Jr., who has a good glove, has become Ben Revere's late-inning defensive replacement in center field.
Pitchers have increasingly demonstrated that they know how to get John Mayberry, Jr. out during the past few seasons. Now, combine that fact with Gwynn's defensive prowess and Ruf's first baseman's glove and it appears as though Mayberry will be the next roster subtraction.
With whatever secondary moves Amaro continues to make, Sandberg will still be left with a thin bullpen, a decent starting rotation, an ever-erratic offense, a defense that isn't tight and a bench that should be better than it was in April. With those cards on the table, the Phillies seem almost certain to continue winning almost as many games as they will lose moving forward. Of course, at some point, their front office dealer might be exchanged as well.

R. PRASAD Dan Shechtman won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2011.
In all, Israel has produced ten Nobel Laureates, of which four were in Chemistry in recent years. Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, where Nobel Laureate Dan Shechtman works, is the first and smallest university in the country. Dr. Shechtman won the Noble Prize last year for chemistry for his discovery of quasicrystals.It has another distinction as well. "Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has three Nobel Laureates in Chemistry," said the Laureate to The Hindu during an interaction with journalists at the recently concluded 62nd Nobel Laureates Meeting dedicated to physics from July 1 to July 7 at Lindau, Germany.

For fans of sparkling wines, it is common knowledge that Prosecco is the fastest growing sparkler (by dollar sales) in the US. Light, easy to drink, with a moderately low alcohol content, Prosecco goes well with meals, snack and by itself.
Barefoot Cellars is on the market with the Barefoot Bubbly Prosecco. With a relatively low price (SRP of $10.00) the wine has found a niche for those who want a bubbly, but do not want to pay Champagne prices.
The Barefoot Prosecco is easy to enjoy (and priced to enjoy) as an everyday sparkling wine. The wine has a nose of apple and moves onto the palate with more crisp apples and a bit of pear. On the finish, this Prosecco delights you with a lemony ending making the sweetness of the beginnings nicely offset by the slightly tart end.
For the foodies, the Prosecco will be a pleasant accompaniment with spicy meals or a simple cheese, meat and antipasto plate.
As an Italian product, the grapes selected are from the Glera variety, and the residual sugar is 2.20g/100ml, fairly typical of a Prosecco.
Barefoot has made great strides into the sparkling market. The Prosecco is the 10th offering from Barefoot, and rounds out the Barefoot sparkling platform.
Barefoot has a large variety of award-winning wines, including the Bubbly Fusion series and the new Barefoot Refresh.
This Prosecco is designed for the sparkling wine lover who does not want to spend a day's salary on a sparkling wine purchase.
As always, thanks to Gallo for the opportunity to taste and review the Barefoot Prosecco!
Enjoy the wine and have a winederful day!

Today, Dec. 13, is not the beginning of the 12 days of Christmas. Today happens to be the 12th day before Christmas and therein lies the confusion. Thanks to the needs of merchants who need to sell products for the great gift exchanges that have become commonplace for this holiday, the season has become corrupted by the secular world.
We started hearing Christmas carols prior to Thanksgiving and we knew Labor Day was here when we saw the first decorations for sale in some of the larger chain stores. We see Santa and his elves everywhere and the trees begin to appear in homes and offices. It is wonderful to see the Nativity scene back on the corner of Highway 41 and 49. Thank you, Chase Bank.
The fact is that the 12 days of Christmas begin on Christmas day and continue until Jan. 6. This 12 day season is the season of Christmas to the church. The days leading up to Christmas, according to many churches, is known as Advent and the season following Christmas is known as Epiphany. The 12 days are representative of the time between the birth of Jesus and the day that the Three Kings, Magi, or the Wise Men (pick one) came to present their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. It took a long time for those men to arrive so it is compressed to a much shorter season.
The popular song that has everyone knowing about the 12 days of Christmas has been around for years and years. It has been changed over the years and there are many spin-offs and parodies of the song. The song has meanings to some that others don't share, but I would like to share one set of meanings that some Roman Catholic children were taught years ago for catechisms.
Jesus was represented by the partridge in the pear tree -- The two testaments were the two turtle doves. Three French hens represented the kings and the four gospels were referenced by the four calling birds. The pentateuch was recalled by the 'five gold rings' while the six days of creation were represented by the six geese.
The seven swimming swans were the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit while the beatitudes were represented by the eight milking maids. The nine dancing ladies reminded the children of the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit and the 10 Commandments were represented by those leaping lords. Eleven pipers were symbolic of the eleven faithful Apostles and the 12 points of the Apostles Creed were recalled by the 12 drummers.
A couple of weeks ago a group announced that it would cost more than $100,000 to buy or rent those gifts for your "true love" to send to you so I wouldn't hold my breath for getting them and frankly, I don't know what I would do with the dancers, milkers, drummers and leaping lords. The rings would be fine as jewelry is always useful.
However; what is important is that we take the time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I realize that many in our society are getting more and more vocal about not wanting the government to even acknowledge Christmas because they are offended in some way. I wish to remind those opponents of Christmas that the First Amendment restricts the government from prohibiting the exercise of religion so they should back off.
The secular world has encroached on religion and many folks have used the courts and threaten to block religious holidays from being celebrated as most of us want to celebrate.
They ignore some basics. The vast majority of us want to celebrate Christmas and not a no-named holiday. The fact is that if you stacked up all the kings who have ever ruled, all the legislatures that have ever sat, and all the armies that have ever marched -- All combined haven't altered the course of history as the man born in a manger to Mary and Joseph.
His birth matters because of Easter. Those two holy days are tied together because one without the other is meaningless. Sorry secularists and atheists, the fact is that the resurrection matters so we Christians celebrate his birth.
Twelve days to go.

Straightforward this one - when failing over from one sql server 2008 node to another, should the browser service be running on the passive node ? At the moment, on attempting to failover, a an error is produced saying that certain clustering related dlls can't be found. The dlls are present, I just wondered whether this browser service was stopping access.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There really isn't a short answer because there are a few hidden questions in the question.
A few thoughts to help here:
1.) The Browser service is not cluster aware, so it generally would be just running on each node. The browser is really used to handle incoming connections to a SQL instance. When you don't have a fixed port, are using named instances and in other situations the browser handles the "finding" of the instance a client desires to connect to. So if you have it running on the active node and it is being used to direct connections, I would make sure it is automatic and running on each node.
2.) That said the browser shouldn't prevent DLLs from being found or take any part in preventing or allowing a failover. So the issue you are having with failing over is most likely not related to the browser but something else. Instead you should be looking at things like - Have you failed over before? Is this a new install of a second node? Have there been any required restarts missed on that node? Did the install throw up any errors? Are there issues in the clustering logs? Can you post the exact error you are receiving? Have you searched for that exact error?

41MP camera for Nokia Eos confirmed. International version may have hit the FCC
We still have a few weeks left before Nokia's July 11 announcement, where the company will introduce a new product that's bound to "reinvent zoom." This, of course, is the long-rumored Nokia Eos. While the smartphone will likely have a different name at launch, its 41MP rear camera has been subtly confirmed by Nokia on its official blog – in a post announcing that we have "41 million reason" to wait for July 11.
The Eos will be Nokia's first Windows Phone 8 handset to have a 41MP PureView camera, and the second overall – after the Symbian-based 808 released last year.
Great camera aside, the new handset should feature a 4.5 inch PureMotion HD+ display, LTE, dual-core processor, and 32GB of internal memory.
The international version of the Eos may have been approved by the FCC yesterday as the RM-875. Earlier this month, a RM-877 was also approved, and it's believed that this is AT&T's version of the Eos. It remains to be seen where the new smartphone will be released first.
Nokia's other two high-end WP8 handsets introduced this year – Lumia 928 and Lumia 925 – also come with PureView technology, but they only have 8MP camera sensors. The Lumia 928 is already available in the US (via Verizon), while the Lumia 925 will be sold by T-Mobile starting later this month.

So my nails are peeling so badly right now. They do tend to peel and break if they grow too far past my fingertips, but lately it's been worse. I need to work on moisturizing and find a good strengthener. In the meantime, I chopped my nails down to nubbins hoping to get ahead of the peeling. Because they haven't looked like this since September, I figured I'd post a picture. :)
Say hello to my fat cat Vinny back there!

Using Your Inhaler
Many people do not realise they aren't using their asthma or COPD inhaler (puffer) correctly.
Although it might seem simple, it can be hard to get the steps just right without an expert showing you how. And if it's been a while since you were last shown, it's easy for little mistakes to slip into your routine.
Using your inhaler properly is important. With the right technique you can be sure that the dose prescribed by your doctor is the same as the dose received by your lungs. Using your inhaler properly can give you better control of your asthma or COPD and may even mean you need to take less medication.
These film clips have been made to show you how to use your asthma or COPD inhaler properly.
In each short clip, an asthma & respiratory educator demonstrates the correct use of one inhaler. Click on a link below to read more.
Types of inhalers
These film clips demonstrate the main types of inhalers prescribed in Australia but a number of others are available. The full range of inhalers is shown on the Asthma & COPD Medications Chart.
There are several types of medications for asthma and COPD, including relievers, preventers, symptom controllers and combination therapy. Different medications are available in different inhalers and some are available in more than one.
Standard MDI (puffer)*

Genre: Drama, Comedy
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 45min
Two German brothers, one a kitchen counter-top salesman and the other a Feng Shui consultant, want to get their screwed-up lives together by going to Japan for a retreat in a Zen monastery. Enroute, their mid-life crisis turns into a midnight crisis when they get lost in Tokyo's neon jungle and can't find their way back to their hotel. It's down and out in Asia's brave new world. Having lost their passports, credit cards, directions, and with no Yen in their pocket, they wander through a kaleidoscopic alien environment where the most routine tasks become major, often comical, challenges. They have to survive by their wits and certainly never expected the Zen concept of "leaving everything behind" to be like this. Life in the monastery is an immersion of a more subtle kind. The mundane and the sublime - where does the one stop and the other start? What does cleaning the floor have to do with cleansing your heart? Still, the enigma of enlightenment keeps them going. Although it often seems just within their grasp, it continues to elude them. And yet, even they don't fully realize it, at the very core of their being, its changing them...

Rebeccawrote a review of Asics Gel-Kayano 20 Running Shoe - Women's on October 19, 2014
Perfect running shoe for the road
Familiarity: I've used it several times
So glad Backcountry is carrying Asics. These are the best road running shoe. Even with bunions these are comfy and not too tight on the toe box. I got the white because I'm not a neon gal and they're lovely.

Mascaras pledge a lot these days - Thicker! Fuller! Longer! Does your laundry in half the time! - but most of 'em are just the same ol', same ol'. *yawn* Leave it to Laura Mercier to deliver on a mascara's promises with her new product, Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara ($24). The bullet-shaped brush is easy to wield, and teams well with the cotton fiber-infused gel formula to build volume and thickness without the sticky, heavy feel of some other products. See, since lashes are technically hair, Mercier had the genius idea to use hair care technology to individually wrap around each lash strand to sculpt and hold it in place all day. Brilliant!

"Teen Mom 3" may have been canceled, but there have been plenty of developments for the cast. Particularly, Mackenzie Douthit-McKee just gave birth to her baby girl, according to a Feb. 7 report.
Mackenzie Douthit-McKee gave birth to her daughter on the afternoon of February 7 via a scheduled c-section. The former "Teen Mom 3" star was 37 weeks pregnant when she went in to the hospital to give birth to her daughter.
She revealed to her fans last year that she was having a girl, but neither Mackenzie nor her husband, Josh McKee, revealed the name of their daughter. After giving birth, Mackenzie Douthit-McKee revealed that her new daughter has been named Jaxie Taylor. The name may sound slightly different, but it has real meaning to Mackenzie. The little girl is named after her grandfather, Jack, and her middle name is the same as her mom's.
Doctors were against Mackenzie Douthit-McKee getting pregnant again (she already has a son named Gannon who was shown on "Teen Mom 3") and the entire pregnancy was rough for the former reality star. However, the delivery went well and Mackenzie, who suffers from Type I Diabetes, and she says her blood sugar was "fine" during delivery. Mackenzie revealed in the past that she could potential go into a coma during delivery if her blood sugar dropped too low, but thankfully that did not happen.
Although being a young parent is hard, Mackenzie Douthit-McKee credits he daughter for saving her marriage saying, "Jaxie saved my marriage with Josh and kept our love alive."

Television imitated life Wednesday night on the season finale of "Modern Family" as two of the show's beloved characters tied the night. It was also a historical moment as the wedding nuptials between Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) was the first same-sex TV wedding since gay marriage was legalized in the state of California. Like with any wedding on a TV comedy, Mitch and Cam had to overcome some obstacles in order to finally make their way down the altar.
In the two-part season finale, a wildfire threatens the couple's wedding, Sal (Elizabeth Banks) goes into labor and is unable to officiate the wedding, and shifting winds causes everyone to evacuate the premises. After being moved to another venue conveniently left vacant by a runaway bride, the wedding party and guests have to move again when the couple returns and kicks everyone else. With no place left to get married, everyone is moved to Mitch and Cam's house where the couple starts to have their doubts about their wedding day.
Just as they are about to call off the wedding, Jay (Ed O'Neill), who initially had doubts about his son's wedding, comes to the rescue telling the two that they "deserve the kind of wedding" they've been talking about. The final location of the wedding takes place outdoors at a golf club. With a sunset as the backdrop, Mitch and Cam exchange intimate nuptials sealed with a kiss.
The same-sex marriage symbolized the marriages that have been taking place across the nation and the continuing battle of same-sex couples to be seen as equal. The normalcy of the ceremony and the eventually approval and happiness shared with family and friends was important to be shown on television. Ferguson, who married his long-time partner Justin Mikita in 2013, talked about the social ramifications of a gay wedding on a popular primetime show.
He told PEOPLE before the wedding aired, "I think it's a safe 'in' for people. They've gotten to know Cam and Mitchell for the past five years and have fallen in love with them, hopefully. And I think they've stopped identifying them as a gay couple, and identify them as just a really great couple who are in love."

I am learning how to use gvSIG 1.10 (Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard). My goal is to create a simple county map of Illinois using the base data shapefiles available from the Illinois Natural Resources Geospatial Data Clearinghouse.
I want to use a state plane coordinate system such as NAD83/Illinois (West) so that the layer will look like this (narrow):

Here are the dialogs I see after adding the layer:
I tried to change the projection to the desired "narrow" version, but no matter what I do, it is always displayed as the undesired "wide" version.

Reviews for Smoky Chicken Enchilada Skillet
"Delicious! I took the idea of this recipe and made it my own. I omitted the soup (cuz I would never put it in my enchiladas), chipotle, cilantro, and the green chilies, and reduced the amount of tortillas. I added Mexicorn and black beans that I drained and rinsed. I sub'd out reduced fat cheese for the regular. I am going to use a large can of enchilada sauce next time for more enchilada flavor."
"Mexican dishes. We did not care for so many soft tortillas in the mixture. Seemed that was all you could taste."
"Added 2 cups of corn and a can of diced tomatoes. Served with rice wrapped in a tortilla instead of mixing that in."
"I left the tortillas out because we didnt want them to get soggy. We put them on top more like a garnish.Flavor was great, but seemed lacking as a dish. Next time i will add somebeans or serve over rice. Works well as a soft taco type filling."
"i must have over done something. We love spicy but wow, this was hot! what can I do or add to this to calm it down?"

Hybrid particle-element simulations of impact, perforation, and fragmentation.
A great video on YouTube from the Cockrell School of Engineering, in partnership with the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the Department of Defense's High Performance Computing Modernization Program's (HPCMP) Data Analysis & Assessment Center (DAAC), shows visualizations of a simulation of high-velocity impacts.
The video shows 2 impacts in particular:
- a 10mm Aluminum Sphere impacting a 2.5mm Aluminum Plate at 6.7km/s
- a 7.67mm Uranium Alloy Rod impacted a 6.4mm Plate obliquely at a 73.5 degree angle, at 1.2KM/s
The visuals are pretty, and a bit hypnotic to watch. The video is also the proud recipient of one of the recent SciDAC Visualization Night OASCR's.

The Weed Society of Queensland is currently redeveloping its website and promotional materials. We hope to have our new site up and running later in the year. Until then, thank you for your patience!
The 13th Queensland Weed Symposium, Longreach
Welcome to the Weed Society of Queensland
The members of the Weed Society of Queensland (WSQ) share a common interest in weeds and pest animals and their management. The Society was formed in 1975 with the aim of advancing the understanding and practice of weed management. In recent years the society expanded its scope to include pest animals and the WSQ - Pest Animal Branch was born. The WSQ is one of the seven societies of the Council of Australasian Weed Science Societies (CAWS).
Reducing the impact of weeds and pest animals, and preventing further spread across the vast and varied land types and waterways of Queensland requires on-ground action. This means coordinated action by many land and water managers as well as community volunteers in rural, peri-urban and urban areas.
The Society promotes management of weeds and pest animals through:
Society members are from diverse backgrounds: from practitioners to policy people; landholders to scientists. If you're passionate about weeds and pest animals we would love to hear from you.

Too Difficult
By happy homemaker
from raleigh, nc
4-D is too much. The puzzle is made of two layers and each layer is exactly the same. In the pile of pieces are two identical puzzle pieces, one for each layer. Also 95 % of the puzzle pieces are exactly the same shape adding to the level of difficulty. We thought we could get away with only assembling layer 2 and have fun placing the buildings in the cut-out slots featured in this layer. Unfortunately some of layer 2 puzzle pieces are glued to layer 1 forcing you to build layer one first. If you don't build layer 1, layer two does not lay flat on the table top and this causes chaos.Unless they redesign it, don't buy it if you want a family activity. It should be one layer with the cut-out shapes for buildings and the puzzle pieces should vary in shapes to ease the effort of placing them. I'm sure the same rings too with the other 4-D city puzzles offered today, but I'm not willing to find out.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
