The Valley's Dirty Work
Sweep out the myths: That vision of Dick Van Dyke dancing like a crazy crow across the rooftops of London. Your image of chimney sweeps as rakish and carefree men in top hats and tails. The notion that they are men. It's Time to Sweep the Mindset Clean.
Photography: Craig Wolfrom
(page 2 of 2)
Rogers and Wallace arrive for this interview straight from a job. ("Cover your chairs, you don't want us sitting on your upholstery.") Rogers is energetic and frank, with volatile brown eyes and the let's-take-a-look manner of someone used to poking her head up a dark, narrow flue. (Which she proceeds to do, by the way. Prognosis: Needs cleaning.) Her partner is more soft-spoken, quick to laugh and eager to be of help. They know they're in an unusual line of work, and are used to people's reactions: They get it all the time.
"Are people charmed by the fact that we're two women, and doing this work? Definitely," notes Rogers. "I think women in particular feel safe having women come into their house."
"We were in Home Depot recently with my husband and Kim's boyfriend looking at ladders," recalls Wallace. "And we were testing out various weights and looking at technical specs, when the salesperson came up and asked the men if he could help them. The guys just pointed to us and said, 'Ask them.'"
Between the two of them they've been up on many of the rooftops in the Valley. They've tackled "nightmare chimneys" with big elbows that are difficult to navigate with a brush, and even worse to clean up after. They've taken on a house with 12 chimneys, including several in bathrooms. They've scoured through whole condominium projects, and done favors for little old ladies. And they've continued to this day the tradition Byron began of treating employees well, taking time out for coffee, buying their lunches, and paying them during both breaks. "We're very fortunate. We feel blessed in what we've been given," says Rogers simply.
And then . . . there are the benefits of the job itself. A chimney sweep has the freedom to set his or her own schedule. Work is plentiful in slacktime: spring is a sweep's busy season, cleaning out chimneys from a winter's use. Falls are busy, too, as homeowners once more turn their thoughts to the comfort of a cozy fire on chillier nights. That leaves blissful winters off to ski and long summer days for playing or pursuing other jobs.
But the #1 perk? "Autumn on the roofs. We have the best views of the leaves, right at the top of the trees and it's absolutely spectacular," Rogers recalls.
And so perhaps after all, one old bit of chimney sweep lore is true: the notion that sweeps are lucky. At least in this Valley. At least in this day and age.

That's how you run your code in the debugger. You have to do it in
non-forking mode and start httpd directly from a terminal. Anyway,
it's not a profiling tool.
I don't see you loading APR::Pool in your <Perl> section, as shown in the docs.

Sighting Details
Dear MUFON, Men's lacrosse game, Chestertown, MD, 04/19/14: I am a professional photographer who has worked with the NFL, the lacrosse industry, and a couple of the major wire services for years. I have followed and appreciated your work as well for years. I know my gear, and know what I see. In this case, I never did see with my naked eye an object in the sky but my camera did. This object occurred and was solid. I have unaltered pictures of said object that defy explanation. The object appears mathematically elliptical because it's sideways and has a heat/energy/gravitational field/aura/whatever around it in pictures ten minutes apart. These images prove it is not a lens, bug, light, dust, etc... It is opaque, has highlights, and moves all over the place. What I know with these images that I am attaching to you is that something that was not a frisbee, bug on my lens or camera sensor, a mouthguard, a bird, a plane, Malaysian flight 370 or Superman was flying around at exceptionally hight speed(s) and is nothing like I have ever seen or not seen or not seen before. What my camera saw that I never saw, highly observant as I am, was something solid that was quite far away and moving extremely fast. My guess is over 40.000 MPH given that I was shooting at 1/800th of a second coupled with the level to which the object was out of focus. I was using a 24mm lens at F7.1. Anything within miles would have been sharp/in focus given the physical characteristics of the lens. For something THAT SIZE to have been VISIBLE in my frame AND out of focus, it had to have been huge. I am baffled. Little if anything escapes my attention when I shoot, yet I never saw this. I am a nationally recognized photographer and have credentials. Seeing stuff is my job. I never saw this, yet it flew into my frame(s) at least three times. I thank you in advance for your thoughts and expertise - my folder of images is attached. Notice how far and fast the object moves between frame #4 and #6. It's wild stuff. I'm perplexed and hope you have some ideas as to what was out there. Something was. Thanks, Larry French Cell: 443 994-1554

OpenGL 3.2 API quick reference cardPosted Monday, 7 September, 2009 - 20:47 by the Fiddler
A must read for all OpenGL developers: OpenGL 3.2 quick reference card! Also available for OpenCL.
Kudos to Khronos for creating those PDFs. They are invaluable for looking up some specific parameter or function quickly.
Now, I'm going to print them out and keep them by my workstation.
Ah this makes me want to dive into OpenGL3 ;)
If I wanted to learn OpenGL3 - what would be an appropriate level demo? A spinning cube with it's sides shaded using pixel shaders, and the geometry generated by a what-is-it-called from a point-primitive? Or even simpler, a triangle shaded with pixel shader, and corners generated from what-is-it-called? Would adding texturing to the mix make everything much harder?
I think a simple per-pixel lighting shader would be the best place to start. The shader itself is simple (example written in OpenGL 2.1), so it's a good learning experience. Add a plane and a few spheres and you've got a pinball or a billiards game in the making.
By the way, the reference card also covers stuff found in earlier OpenGL versions, like immediate mode or non-generic VBOs. It marks deprecated methods in purple so you know so it's immediately obvious whether you should use them or not. Nice!
the reference card also shows up the stuff that is missing from the gl3.h file. though i'm not to sure if the reference card itself is not missing stuff.
This is quite useful, thanks.

Mob Movie Lessons: Miller's Crossing
Force only goes so farThe final mob movie lesson deals with how you take down a capo. The right way is to use your head; the wrong way is to use force. In the movie, four stronzos go after Leo. Now you might think that he's an old man and he's gone soft, but you gotta remember that he didn't get to be the capo without being familiar with a tommy-gun. The fact that he's survived to be an old man and he got to the top means he can handle his own. In the movie, not only does Leo single-handedly take out the four stronzos, but he does it without wasting his cigar (when he suspected trouble he put the cigar out and tucked it in robe so he could pull it back out and finish it after he'd killed all four would-be assassins).
On the other hand, Tom takes out Caspar. He does it with his head. He gets Caspar to go alone to his apartment, expecting to be the predator. In reality, Caspar was the prey, and he was walking right into a loaded gun.
stronzo sceneAt the end of the movie, Bernie Berbaum becomes our stronzo. He tried to blackmail Tom after Tom had saved his life. What kind of gratitude is that? Then, he shoots Caspar, but he expected to shoot Tom. So, after blackmailing Tom and attempting to kill Tom, Bernie is foolish enough to give up his gun to Tom. Tom tricks him by telling him it's Eddie Dane's gun and he can go plant it on Dane to frame Dane for the murder. Instead, Tom disarms him, turns the gun on Bernie, and kills Bernie, after which, Tom places the gun in the hands of Caspar to make it look like they shot each other. Bernie is the classic stronzo because he thinks that after all he's done to cross Tom that he can still expect to be treated with mercy. Trust me: you can't go crossing every man in town and expect to survive the day. If you don't want to get whacked, do right by everyone (or at least those that have more brains or guns than you).
Mr. Mafioso answers your e-mail
Mr. Mafioso,
Thanks for you column, I enjoy reading your tips. I feel like I get walked on a lot at work. I know I need to stick up for myself more in the office, but I'm just not very confrontational, what should I do?
Jordan, Kansas City
Dear Jordan,
Thanks for your question. We Italians don't have that problem. In Italy, everyone yells at each other. It is normal; it's what we do. What you need to do is plan for the next moment of confrontation. You have to see yourself standing up for yourself and telling your coworkers or managers that you are being ill-treated. It's human nature to take advantage of those that cannot or will not stick up for themselves. You must teach others how to treat you; and if you are going to break the cycle, you have to plan ahead on sticking up for yourself. See yourself doing it, and when the time comes, take a deep breath and speak up.
Stata buon,
Mr. Mafioso

The Morley man reportedly suffered burns over 62 percent of his body.

Garth Brooks may not have been Workin' on a Full House" recently, but he did put a hammer to good use to help build a house in Birmingham, Ala., for Habitat for Humanity. Garth helped with painting, installing towel racks and putting the finishing touches on the house.
Garth wasn't shy about taking the opportunity to correct some misconceptions about Habitat for Humanity and the people they help. "I really look forward to this. One of the biggest misunderstandings about Habitat is that they give away homes for free. They don't. These people work their butts off." he tells The Birmingham News.

A Must Read - Share
LONDON (AP) — Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey says television has overtaken cinema as the home of quality character-driven drama, but the industry risks failure if it doesn't recognize that viewers want control over what they watch, and when. Spacey told the Edinburgh International Television Festival on Thursday that the success of his political thriller House of Cards—released all at once on video streaming service Netflix earlier this year — showed that viewers "want freedom." "If they want to binge—as they've been doing on House Of Cards—then we should let

This year's Open Monuments Weekend in Italy takes place on the 24th and 25th of March. If you're in Italy at this time circle the dates in red in your diary. This is the one weekend in the year that many of the privately owned grand houses and gardens throw open their doors and invite in the public. And entrance is usually free. Things just get better and better.
The Giornata FAI di Primavera happens every year on the weekend closest to the beginning of spring. It's organized by a group called Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano (FAI), the Italian version of The National Trust, who have a website completely in Italian. Not very helpful. And given the enticing maps and photographs just downright frustrating. If you have an Italian friend or hotel concierge get them to translate for you. I would recommend also asking at the local tourist office where you're staying to translate the site as information comes to hand on which properties are open this year. I think the Italians like to keep this one a bit secret, but since they have such an incredible cultural heritage, it only natural that we all want to see it. Especially what usually lies behind usually closed doors.

How Do Morals Translate Offline to Online?
How does a 12-year-old's sense of right and wrong play out when he or she is online? A recent Michigan State University study, published in the academic journal Sex Roles, isn't answering the question but attempting to get the conversation going.
The study, titled "Gender, Race and Morality in the Virtual World and Its Relationship to Morality in the Real World," looks at responses from 515 seventh-graders to questions about the acceptability of "virtual" actions. Those actions included spreading computer viruses, emailing test answers to friends, viewing pornography and sending sexually explicit messages to strangers. It compares those results to the same students' responses to questions about real-world behavior like cheating on tests, bullying or teasing, lying to parents or teachers and using racial slurs.
The results showed that greater Internet use correlates with a greater acceptance of "Internet harm," which included threatening others over email and reading other people's emails without asking. And overall, while the findings indicate that real-world morality hinted at how children view questionable online behavior, the relationship was weak, says Linda A. Jackson, a psychology professor at Michigan State and the principal investigator for the study.
That suggests that other factors are influencing online morality, she says. "There's a disparity in the ways kids think about morality or virtue in the virtual world and the real world. There's something else that goes on."
What the "something else" is still isn't clear. "We have to better understand how they conceptualize that world, whether they really think it is separate in some way. You can imagine how a child would develop that sense, because nine times out of 10, they know more about that world than their parents do," Ms. Jackson says. "It might give them a sense that 'Maybe parents know a lot in the real world, but when I get online, it's my world.' And they mistakenly believe that there's privacy, especially among middle-class and upper-class kids who have their own computers."
She saw this disparity in another recent experiment, in which students were asked if they'd accept answers to an exam. "Almost without question, everyone said no," she says. But some readily sought out answers to a test that was posted online. "They didn't see the correlation between the real world and going and getting it online."
Michigan State's research has been funded by a three-year $750,000 grant from the National Science Foundation's Human Social Dynamics program, though Ms. Jackson's team is seeking additional funding.
The paper in Sex Roles suggests that the research in this area is lacking, saying, "Still missing from the research on moral development, reasoning and decision-making is research on its influence on behavior in the virtual world … In some ways this neglect is surprising in light of compelling evidence that children, especially children in Western, affluent cultures, spend a significant portion of their daily lives in the virtual world."
"It's only one study, one way of measuring morality," Ms. Jackson says. "It's really just the beginning of what I hope what will be a deeper understanding of what children consider OK and not OK when they're online."

The Church was specially chosen as it has a strong link with the quarantine facility having lost a number of priests the infectious diseases which plagued the area at the time.
Rogers told IrishCentral, "About 15 years ago they were re-decorating the Church and they found that a priest is buried under that altar with a plaque explaining that he had died administering to the Irish during the years of the Great Hunger at the quarantine."
The caskets are now being kept at a receiving tomb in Moravian Cemetery, in New Dorp, and soon, once construction is completed on the Supreme Court building, they will be re-interred in a Memorial Green, in a quiet corner of the property, a place of quiet reflection, where the thousands buried from that period can be remembered.
The Friends of Abandoned Cemeteries of Staten Island (FACSI) plan to release a DVD telling the story of the area and these immigrants remains, by fall 2013. For more information on their group visit their Facebook page, call 917-545-3309 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Draft of Minutes for General Education Meeting
March 10, 2008
Members: Current, Fields, Galbraith, E. Kahl, Kraemer, Loh, Sloan, Pribek, Prucha, Ragan
Consultants: Burckhardt, Clow, Dittman, S. Knudson, Morgan
Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by Chair Galbraith at 3:38 pm.
Minutes: Minutes from the last meeting will be considered at the next committee meeting.
Discussion: "What constitutes a General Education Course?"
After looking at the existing mission statement for General Education for guidance, the committee discussed guidelines for those interested in proposing General Education courses. Discussion centered around three different items: [1] [sufficient] breadth of content, [2] having either no prerequisites or only Gen Ed prerequisites, and [3] being open to all students.
Other questions raised in connection with this discussion included: Should there be minimum # of SLO's for any course proposed as a Gen Ed course? Should there be a special set of courses for those in special programs, such as Teacher Education, which have a large number of required credits? Comments were made both in favor and in opposition to creating special programs within General Education to satisfy a particular population of students.
Additional concerns included department using general education as a way of enabling double-dipping for their majors, and departments proposing courses in a variety of different categories within the General Education program.
M/S/P that the General Education committee draft a short general document of guidelines that informs proposers of courses for inclusion on General Education of the General Education mission statement, with an equal number of Do's and Don'ts to guide those are interested in proposing courses for inclusion in the General Education program.
As the committee seemed to reach consensus regarding Do's, the committee then briefly considered Don'ts. Suggestions included [1] using upper-level or specialized courses that students are already taking in the major or minor also to count as General Education courses; [2] a department's submitting a course in a category different from that in which a department already has courses; [3] submitting slash courses; and [4] submitting courses with non-General Education course prerequisites.
Ragan agreed to write a draft of this document, which will then circulate electronically to members of the General Education committee for comment.
Discussion: Salvage Proposal
M/S to consider Field's proposal to salvage the core proposal.
Fields circulated a revised version of his proposal. Concern was expressed about the guideline for taking all Tier 1 courses: it was suggested that 60 credits would work, and that 45 credits might not; but, it was recognized that 45 credits provided a more credible limit. While some expressed concern that the committee was floundering in its discussions of program revision, others claimed that the committee was clearly working within the current plan. Concerns were expressed about the suggestion that the General Education Committee would not be responsible for determining the number of credits in the program. Concerns were expressed about moving forward to propose an FYE given the current committee information about the development of suggested FYE courses. It was suggested that the committee might regard Field's proposal as a working document as opposed to taking it as a proposal to submit to Faculty Senate or killing the proposal outright.
W: The motion's proposer withdrew the motion pending receipt of report on FYE courses; the seconder agreed.
The chair announced that she will send an e-mail to faculty reporting on committee work and floating suggestions regarding the Field's proposal, asking for information about a 45 credit limit for Tier 1 courses.
Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by
Eric Kraemer

Lakeside Alumni Association was formed in June 2000 by a small group of Lakeside graduates. For the love of their school and the educational foundation provided them, they decided to create an association that would give back to the school and its graduates. Their purpose was threefold: to develop a museum to archive and display the history of this school, to encourage fellowship among alumni by hosting events including a tailgate party at football homecoming each year and most importantly to provide scholarships for furthering the education of graduating seniors.
Lakeside Alumni Association started with only a handful of volunteers and has grown to over 300 members. In 2007, we developed our first website to further enhance membership and fellowship opportunities. Today, we are proud to have a new website that also doubles as a membership management tool. This allows us to remain current and relevant. Thank you to our website sponsors for your continued support.
Through our member participation, the Association has begun displaying memorabilia in the restored Historic Gymnasium Building. There are numerous donated items yet to be restored and preserved. We are hopeful to secure a permanent room for display of the many books, sports items, photographs and similar items for all to enjoy. The Association has hosted an Annual Homecoming Tailgate party since October 2003. This has been a great opportunity for all alumni and friends to gather and reminisce. We also encourage class reunions to join us at the tailgate for food, fun, and fellowship before the Friday night football game. Beginning in 2011, the Raffle for Scholarships was born. Each home football game, the LAA sells raffle tickets for fantastic prizes donated by our generous supporters. In October, 2012 the First Annual LAA Scholarship Golf Tournament and Silent Auction was held. On April 27, 2013 we ntroduced the first Annual Alumni Day Scholarship Fish/Chicken Fry and Awards program. On April 26, 2014 we will once again host the annual Alumni/Scholarship Day.
Since 2001, the Lakeside Alumni Association has awarded more than $80,000 in scholarships. In 2013 alone we awarded more than $19,000. This is possible through the generous support of our members, friends and donors. To assist in funding our scholarships, a Gold Brick Walk of History has been created and is located at the Historic Gymnasium Building. Please consider purchasing a brick engraved with your name, activity and year of graduation. Or purchase one in honor or in memory of a loved one. It's a wonderful way to leave your mark at your old Alma Mater, Lakeside School.
What are you waiting for? Join today! We encourage you to be a part of our Lakeside Alumni Family and be a part of this winning team. We have made it easy for you to join the Alumni Association. Just click on JOIN NOW above. Purchase a brick in our graduate walk of fame, keep up with current events and best of all, find old friends and classmates. If you are a Lakeside graduate or family member of a graduate or if you have ever been an employee of Lakeside, WE WANT YOU!!! Joining the Lakeside Alumni Association is an extreme honor and you will be proud to be a part of the accomplishments of the Association. It is a privilege to be a part of all the history and cherished memories made right here at our Alma mater, Lakeside School. There were a lot of good times then and we want you to join us for all the FUN we are having now.

Vienna's ice cold killer buried her husband and lover in cement
Court is told how a cold-blooded ice cream seller shot two men, cut them up and buried them in her cellar
A WOMAN described as "singularly cold-blooded" murdered her husband and boyfriend with a pistol, cut up their bodies with a chainsaw and buried them in concrete in the cellar of her Viennese ice cream parlour.
Goidsargi Estibaliz Carranza Zabala – dubbed the Ice Lady – went on trial in Vienna today accused of shooting her former husband Holger Holz in 2008 as he worked at his computer. Two years later she used the same Beretta pistol to kill her lover, Manfred Hinterberger.
The 34-year-old chopped the bodies of both men into small pieces using a chain saw then concealed them in cement in the cellar of her Vienna ice cream parlour, the court says.
A 140-page report into Carranza's mental state, compiled by the same psychiatrist who judged the notorious Josef Fritzl sane enough to stand trial, ruled that she, too, was fit to face trial.
In his report to the court Adelheid Kastner wrote: "She suffers from a personality disorder, she has serious mental and psychological abnormalities. It has to be feared that the woman could commit further acts with serious consequences."
The remains of Holz and Hinterberger were discovered last year when workers installing new pipes found a leg and other body parts. Carranza, who is two-months pregnant to another lover and has both Spanish and Mexican citizenship, was arrested after she fled to Italy in a taxi and was extradited back to Austria, The Daily Telegraph says.
The court alleges she killed Holz when he refused to leave their home after she told him she had a new lover. It is alleged she took shooting lessons and courses in mixing concrete before killing the two men.
Prosecutor Petra Freh described Carranza as a "singularly cold-blooded and extremely dangerous woman" who had a "unique" personality.
"Let us make no mistake," she said. "During the course of this trial we have to remember that this woman killed twice. She is a ticking time bomb." The case continues.

Celebrating its 15th year, the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize rewards a living photographer who has made the most significant contribution to photography over the past year. Initiated in 1996 by The Photographers' Gallery in London, the Prize promotes the best of contemporary photography.
There are four shortlisted artists – Thomas Demand, Roe Ethridge, Elad Lassry and Jim Goldberg – and a selection of each artists' work is currently on display at Ambika P3, London.
Lassry's works have a stock-photography aesthetic with a slightly demented twist and are reminiscent of advertising photography from 80s magazines. Each photo frame is hand-painted in bold, bright colours to match the prints, adding to the pop-art feel.
Most impressive though, is the work from Jim Goldberg's exhibition Open See. The mix of traditional photography, Polaroids, video and ephemera make for an engaging and intimate exhibition. A single line scrawled across a small Polaroid hung on a large, white wall not only draws you closer in but gives insight into the often violent and unhappy lives of Goldberg's subjects and their desires and hopes for freedom.
Deutsche Börse Photography Prize is open 5 April – 1 May, with the Prize officially awarded 26 April.

This undated photo submitted into evidence by Assistant Federal Defender Julia L. Gatto shows Gilberto Valle with his daughter. Valle is accused of conspiracy to kidnap a woman and unauthorized use of a law enforcement database that prosecutors say he used to help build a list of potential targets. Gatto tried to soften the image of her client by showing jurors pictures of a uniformed Valle and the coupleís 1-year-old daughter, a moment that caused the wife on the witness stand and eventually the officer at the defense table 30 feet away to cry out amid sobs.

Drew Carey Breaks Bone
The Price is Right host and comedian Drew Carey had to cancel yesterday's taping of the show because of a painful injury. Drew reportedly separated his clavicle after taking a bad fall. He tweeted:
"Hey everyone! Had to cancel The Price Is Right tapings today. I fell while running this a.m. and separated my clavicle. Be back tomorrow though!"
He also tweeted a photo of his x-ray:
"A pic of my X-ray. Haven't even had a pain pill yet! (But I'm due. Still waiting on them)"
"Just saw doctor. No surgery needed. No 'snapping into place.' Just ice and time… Oh, and I'll probably have a lump without surgery."
Making light of the situation, he retweeted a post from Sam Simon, the director and producer from The Drew Carey Show:
"Evidently Drew broke his collarbone when he was out for a jog and his personal assistant dropped him."
Get better soon!

(Boston, Revised 11/13/09) New England Law | Boston: On Tuesday, October 13, Colombian Prosecutor Fabio Humar spoke to students and faculty in a Center for Law and Social Responsibility "LawMatters" presentation on his nation's evolving political situation and legal system. The event was co-hosted by the CLSR, Latin American Law Student Association, and the International Law Society.
In an engaging discussion, Humar traced the histories of Colombia's guerrillas, paramilitary groups, and political groups, and credited President Uribe's re-enforcement of the military for the decline in kidnappings and narcoterrorist violence.
The second portion of the lecture focused on the dramatic change in Colombia's legal system. The modifications, strongly encouraged by the United States, have resulted in a system largely similar to ours. However, Humar noted the trade-off that is accompanying the adoption of the new, adversarial system of justice over the previous inquisitorial system, which granted broad powers to the prosecution at the expense of the accused.
Though civil liberties are enhanced, efficiency is lost. As this new system continues to develop, it will be interesting to watch the effect on Colombia's political groups and on the nation's overall safety.
In fall 2006, Humar was one of two Colombian prosecutors selected during a national competition, held by the Partners of America and the United States Department of State, to intern at the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office in Boston. In 2008, he was the CLSR's first Attorney-in-Residence.
LawMatters events are hosted by the CLSR throughout the academic year, featuring panel discussions, guest speakers, and faculty-led talks where students, faculty, and members of the legal community debate current legal issues.

Learn more about Patent Box every week!
Sign up for our weekly(ish), informative, useful mailing list, and be on the bleeding edge for UK Government Funding information.
The Patent Box is a tax break aimed at encouraging innovative companies to exploit their inventions in the UK - i.e. to employ UK staff and record their profits in the UK.
If your company is making a profit, or soon to be making a profit, as a founder you're probably starting to get concerned about the corporation tax liabilities which will accumulate. 20% seems reasonable when you're not paying it yet, but when you're staring at a £100k+ CT bill when only a few years ago, you had no profit whatsoever, it can be fairly disheartening.
If you have a product that is patentable in some way, here's some good news: you can substantially reduce that CT bill by using the Patent Box scheme. This is somewhat similar to the R&D Tax Credits scheme, and in fact is being administered by the same people at HMRC, but it works only for consistently profitable companies (i.e. you shouldn't sign up for it if you expect to become unprofitable soon). It can result in up to a halving of your CT bill (though in practice the reduction for SMEs will be closer to 7.5% off the 20%).

'Once Upon a Time,' Season 1, Episode 2, 'The Thing You Love Most': TV Recap
In tonight's chapter, we get some backstory on how Regina became the Evil Queen with no soul; we realize that Mayor Regina may not actually remember she's the Evil Queen, and continue playing spot the fairy tale character in Maine. The show takes place in two worlds and two time periods: we flash from present day Maine to the fairy tale origins.
Cat Stevens in the first scene is a nice touch as the townspeople wake up and notice that time is moving (and it's not even "morning has broken," just a nice kind of hippyish sound to make us feel everything will be OK).
And there's a scene of the mayor looking at the book and studying the picture of the evil queen so maybe she herself didn't remember who she is.
She's upset with her son because there are missing pages from the Big Book of Exposition. He asks why she cares, and she says "I care because you think I'm some evil queen," she says, which is really funny. He says she isn't his mother.
But then she looks really startled when the clock chimes so maybe she does remember? I wonder how long the show can keep this ambiguity going—it's not as if there's any real doubt that Henry's imagining it all.
So Regina arrives with a basket of honeycrisp apples for Emma, the bail bondswoman young Henry sought out in Boston last week because she's his birth mother, and, he believes, the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, and immune to the curse that keeps everyone from knowing who they are and time from moving.
Emma is staying at an inn run by Little Red (sexy nubile young woman with some red streaks in her hair) and her grandmother.Thanks, Emma says, all suspicious. I mean come on, mayor, you don't want to be thought of as an evil queen and you show up with a basket of apples?
And it's flashback to the wedding and the evil queen in a black lace outfit, and her stalking off into her castle, biting the head off her manservant. The mirror, who seems kind of like her sidekick, wonders how she'll destroy everybody's happiness. She goes to her bestie's fortress to get the Curse from her—bestie being Maleficent, who is blonde and sexy glam, though nobody's home but the shabby unicorn. It's kind of cute that Regina made a deal for a sleeping curse with her and no more than true that it didn't work, since Snow woke up with one little kiss.
Maleficent pets her kind of shabby brown unicorn and tells her to consider a pet.
This show is so campy it's sort of like "Dynasty" with magic.
They have a sorceress cat fight and all the spears fly around and the little brown unicorn neighs. Regina wins, but Maleficent tries to warn her that "there are lines even we shouldn't cross," and "enacting it will take a terrible toll. There will be an emptiness inside you." I guess that's what happens when you become a small town mayor in Maine. Now it's all zoning laws! Township committee! Recycling center and leaf collection!
Regina next has a little gathering of ghouls to cast the curse with, and takes some of their hair plus the heart of a cherished steed. "Let my wrath be unleashed" she says as she throws it in the fire. I must find a way to work that into conversation. Smoke, scary stuff, everyone looks puzzled, and then the dwarf makes fun of her so she turns him to stone.
Back in Storybrooke, the evil queen pulls apples off the tree with a puzzled look on her face, and gets all mad at Sidney, the town editor who despite a headline attacking Emma (in Storybrooke, if you have a car accident, they arrest you, I guess), has not managed to learn much about her except that Henry was born in Phoenix.
Emma says she throws away things of no value. Why is the editor scared of the mayor? This really is a fairytale.
Emma is about to eat the apple at a diner, because she's just that dumb, when little red, who works there, brings her a hot chocolate, sent to her by an admirer. Saved by the hot chocolate. She chats with the Sheriff, thinking it's from him, but it turns out it's from Henry, who wants her to walk him to school.
He has a plan to break the curse. It will be called Operation Cobra. Emma's about to take a bite out of the apple when he says "don't eat that!" and throws it away. Phew. The one advantage they have is that he ripped out the pages revealing Emma's identity, he says.
At school, Emma chats with teacher Mary Margaret, who admits that Henry thinks she's Snow White (Hi Mom!). Emma says she's not in the book.
She goes to see Jiminy Cricket aka the therapist. She says she wants to know what is causing Henry's fairy tale obsession.
Regina, his mother, is a complicated woman, the therapist admits, when Emma points out that he's been seeing him longer than he's had the book. Jiminy then offers to show her the file, because "you're very important to him." It's completely implausible, but this is a fairy tale after all. He warns her to be careful how she handles his belief system, because destroying his imagination would be devastating.
The minute she leaves, he calls Regina. "Did she take the file?" she wonders.
Yep. The whole thing's a set up, as the Sheriff knocks on Emma's room at the inn to arrest her for stealing the file. I really dig the b&b and want that room.
Regina interrupts class to tell Henry about Emma's arrest and that she's a conwoman. Henry doesn't buy it.
As the cute cop with faintly Scottish accent takes Emma's mug shots (she's 5'6″!) she says that Regina is setting her up. Henry and Mary Margaret show up to bail her out.
Next shot is Emma cutting limbs off the apple tree while Regina looks out the window of her sleek black and white office. I love the décor of this show.
Back to the curse campfire and her butler throws some platitudes at her how it may be for the best. "Helping you is my life," he says. And she wants to know why the curse isn't working, so she'll have to go back to the person who gave it to her. "Revenge is a dark and lonely road," he says.
Mice eating apples in the cell of Rumpelstiltskin/Robert Carlyle who I'm sorry is dishy even as a troll. OK, the teeth are bad, but come on, he's Scottish. One of the mice turns into Regina. He tells her how Snow and hubby visited and lets on something about a child and how it could break the curse. Because all curses can be broken. So she makes a deal with him.
In the new land he wants comfort. And if he ever comes to her, she must heed his requests. So long as he says please. She says you do realize that if she does it he wont remember any of it. "Oh well then, what's the harm?" he says. This is just so much funnier in his accent.
So he tells her the prize steed as a sacrifice wasn't nearly enough. It has to be something more precious—the heart of the thing she loves most.
And it's motivation time! "what I love most died because of snow white," she emotes. There must be someone else. Oh the actors are having a lot of fun with this. "You know what you love," says Rump. "Go kill it."
Back at the Inn, grandmother says she has to ask Emma to leave. There's a "no felons rule," that's a city ordinance. This is also the mayor's doing of course.
Regina picks apples up as she talks to the cop to say she destroyed city property, and wants her arrested. The cop really doesn't want to do it, and thinks she's been setting up.
"I made you sheriff, and I can take it away just as easily," says Regina. And the sheriff says if it escalates the only one who will get hurt is Henry. Regina does look upset. Which is confusing, if the plan was to adopt Snow White's grandson for evil reasons.
As she gets into her cute little yellow VW bug, Regina calls her to try to make peace. Her office has wallpaper of birch trees. Sort of half evil queen, half Vera Wang.
Emma says she has no intention of taking Henry from anyone. But she wants to make sure Henry's OK. Emma says that his obsession with fairy tale characters is crazy. Henry at the door hears the word and is upset and it's another setup since Regina knew he'd come by.
You have no soul, Emma tells her. How did you get like this?
We see the witch striding along, as the mirror sounds really worried. Is she going to kill him? She tells the butler she has to cut out the heart of the thing I love most.
"Me," he says. "Daddy, I don't know what to do," she says. Not the butler! He's daddy!
He tries to talk her out of it, but "her very existence mocks me," she says.
"Stop worrying about snow White and start over," he suggests. She doesn't want to lose her power. Daddy says while power is seductive, so is love. She actually cries a little on daddy's shoulder.
He says she could be happy. I'm really distracted by her enormous fake eyelashes.
"I can be happy, just not here," she says, and stabs Daddy. "Sorry," she mutters. Glorious camp.
So—what exactly did Snow take from her?
Emma knocks on Mary Margaret's door, and pays her back the bail money. Over a cup of cocoa (running theme, she, Henry and now Mommy Snow take cinnamon in their cocoa)… Mary Margaret says she has the oddest feeling that they'd met before. Emma says she's leaving, because if she stays it would be bad for Henry.
"I think the very fact that you want to leave is why you have to stay. You care about him," says Mary Margaret.
Henry's in therapy with Jiminy Cricket, all depressed, when Emma breaks in. He doesn't want to talk to her. But she says she thinks the curse is crazy, but it doesn't mean it isn't true. And that the only way to break the curse is by tricking the evil queen into thinking they are nonbelievers. He smiles and sits up. Brilliant!
And Emma burns the pages so Regina will never see them.
Back in fairyland, another bonfire, another box with a heart, no additional ghouls. Regina throws the heart on the fire and this time there's a huge huge cloud. When it's done, Regina puts a black rose on a grave and says "I love you Daddy." "Henry, Beloved Father," it says. They must have some pretty quick masons in fairyland.
Regina brushes her tree while Mr. Gold, aka Rump, walks up. She boasts to him that Emma is probably halfway to Boston by now. He lets her know he just saw Emma strolling down main street with the boy.
He offers to help her—for a price.
She says she's not in the business of making deals with him anymore. Does he remember? Oh right, the boy he procured for her. Henry. How did she pick that name?
She accuses him of wanting this to happen. "Where did you get him?"
Who is this Emma Swan? She asks Mr. Gold. He says she already knows. She orders him to tell her what he knows, but he refuses, takes a bite out of the apple, which doesn't hurt him, and stalks off.
Next week we're going to get some of Snow White's backstory, and some in present day of Snow and Charming in a coma.
So what do you think? Is Rump up to no good, or playing a long game? Does Regina believe she's an evil queen? Will Charming come out of the cocoa? Do you have to like Cinnamon in cocoa to be on the side of good?
And which fairy tale does the sheriff come from?

Commercialisation options
In some circumstances, it may make sense to commercialise software in conjunction with releasing software under an Open Source licence, rather than just providing the source code for free. The potential benefits can include:
- Funding for research from commercial partners;
- Development and expertise contributed from a commercial partner to improve and/or productise the software and result in an increased uptake of the product;
- Increased marketing and distribution infrastructure from commercial partners;
- Net proceeds from commercialisation flowing back to the department and personally to researchers under the University of Sydney (Intellectual Property) Rule 2002.
To help us commercialise your software, you can report the software to Sydnovate using a Software Disclosure form (doc).
We recommend that care be taken when using or incorporating Open Source software to University developed software so as to not jeopardise any potential future commercialisation opportunities.
Each situation is unique when combining Open Source licences with commercialisation. Sydnovate would be very pleased to assist you in determining the preferred model. Some examples of different commercialisation options include:
- Services model: the software is provided free under an Open Source licence and a fee is charged for support and services. This model is often not suitable or desirable for a University; however, the opportunity may exist for the University to license the software to a company to commercialise on this basis.
- Dual licensing model: a limited functionality version of the software is provided free under an Open Source licence whilst a version with more advanced functionality or warranties or sub-licensing flexibility is provided for a fee.
- Trade Mark model: the software is provided free under an Open Source licence, however, licensees pay for the use of a Trade Mark associated with the software.
- Membership model: the software is provided free under an Open Source licence, however, only to organisations that pay a membership fee.
Commercialisation may include a combination of two or more of the examples above.

Plenty of Halloween, harvest festivals on tap
SEBRING - Sally Lukondi does not usually dress up for Halloween, but this year she has a party to go to and was strongly considering a zombie costume Wednesday. Her husband, John, a retired Marine, has his costume all fixed up, she smiled. Lucky enough to still fit in his old uniform, all John Lukondi needed to complete his "shot down pilot" get-up was some black face makeup. The two Lorida residents were shopping at the Spirit Halloween store in the Shoppes at Shelby Crossing shopping center, along U.S. 27 in Sebring, which opened Sept. 14, with all things ghoulish for yard decorations, costumes for all ages and accessories - from beards to false glasses to plastic swords and axes. What's new this year should not come as a surprise since popular culture supplies a lot of the inspiration for costumes.Those who like A&E's Duck Dynasty show can be a part of the bearded, bayou-inhabiting Duck Nation. Duck Dynasty costumes are new this year, so are the minions from Despicable Me: 2, said the store's sales associate Victoria Fraser and assistant manager Lonnie Kay. AMC's The Walking Dead TV series has spawned its own set of costumes, which hang on one side of the store. There is the show sheriff Rick Grimes' get-up for grabs, a Michonne Wig for girls who want to party as the sword-wielding warrior, a bunny girl slipper get-up along with accessories that show characters don. The new-fangled costumes go hand-in-hand with the evergreen perennials. There is plenty of superhero, princess and ninja costumes for kids, and zombie and "sexy type" attire, said store manager Cara Avery. The store will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. The store will close three days after Oct. 31, during which time merchandise will be sold at marked-down prices. Avery said the shopping gets brisker closer to Halloween. They also have a kiosk where people can order items that are available not stocked in the store, and they will be shipped for free to a customer's home. There are also plenty of Halloween and harvest-themed activities through October. While the Humane Society of Highlands County will not open its Terror Trail this year because the rain has made the trail wet, there are plenty of other activities on tap, including Highlands Hammock State Park's debut Haunted Hammock.

I am a manufacturing cost accountant and I calculate savings, cost, budgets and standards for a living. I kept weekly/monthly details for the first 15 months of usage and this system only saved an average of around $35 / month.
Wilhite and all other solar systems installers advertise possible savings of 50% - 70% of your monthly bill. This is a joke and I believe a scam perpetrated by the entire solar "green" industry.
We contacted Wilhite a month ago and requested that they check out the system to see if they could determine if there is a problem with it. I left them a letter attached to the inverter describing the issues listed above. They did come look at the system, but they have never contacted us about anything they may have found. A few days after they looked at the system, the electric company came out and put a new meter in. That has nothing to do with the actual amount of KW's that the solar panels generated in the past 3 years.
I have told many people over the past 3 years NOT to invest in any home solar systems and they have appreciated me giving them the "heads up" about the lack of true savings with these systems.

Capito speaks at Randolph County Lincoln Day Dinner
March 31, 2014
ELKINS — U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., told Republicans attending Sunday's Randolph County Republican Executive Community Lincoln Day Dinner that 2014 is going to be a good yea....
WVNative: when democrats give americans something positive to say from all their NEGATIVE consequences of their NEGATIVE policies...then I can start giving GOOD NEWS for a change.
Liberals 'change' IS negative change.
Name just ONE liberal policy that had POSITIVE results? JUST ONE! I dare you. It doesn't exist yet.
Democrats: always divisive; always negative 'sky is falling' attitude like 'fake global warming' is going to cause massive loss of life, etc....lololol; obamacare debacle is laughable; Results of Obama dems policies? ALL NEGATIVE; highest unemployment; job closures; bank closures; higher food prices; higher gas prices than when Bush was in office. Hypocrites and crooks running country at this time. Not after next elections though!

Socialist anti-american DEMOCRATS 'are' the nations' problem!

So TruthSeeker, what are your answers to today's issues? You always have something negative to say.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
ONLY answer democrats have to WV problems is to TAX us more. Problems only getting worse under democrat policies.
Capito still has my support as well as other conservatives. It could NOT be worse than what we've had since 1928. ALL democrats think alike; tax tax tax; spend spend spend.

It's time! We've given Democrats since 1928 to bring good paying jobs, less taxation, better education and schools to our state. Our patience is wearing thin waiting for democrats to do as they keep promising and failing to do.
I intend to fire all current democrats in office. You've all had long enough to 'improve' on WV's poor state of affairs. NO MORE!

The Raid's Gareth Evans set for Break The Bank
Universal are seeking the talents of The Raid's Gareth Evans to direct the story of the largest cash heist in history.
With Gareth Evans' The Raid winning numerous plaudits ahead of its official release in the UK, there's little surprise that he's being sought for future projects. There is of course the small matter of him having to write and direct the remaining two parts of The Raid trilogy, but that hasn't stopped him taking the time to look at other projects. What's more, he seems to have found an interesting one in the form of Breaking The Bank for Universal, a project once developed with Darren Aronofsky, who dropped out to work on Noah.
The film is based on the real life experiences of former UFC fighter 'Lightning' Lee Murray, who in 2006 masterminded the largest cash heist in history. The script is based on two different sources, one being Heist: The True Story Of The World's Biggest Cash Robbery by Howard Sounes, the other a Sports Illustrated article by L Jon Wertheim, entitled Breaking The Bank.
You can see why Universal feel why Evans is a good fit for the project given how effectively he can shoot action. The Raid also showcased, though, an ability to build characters and make you care about them, in spite of very little on-screen back story.
Here's hoping that this is one that goes ahead, preferably as a Statham vehicle, as it sounds very interesting.
