The county commissioners are still talking about the possible purchase of the land and buildings associated with the Aquaculture Research Corporation operation in Dennis.
Based on public presentations, up for consideration is the purchase of the 39 acres of land on which the facility sits, as well as the buildings, for $4 million. The business would not be part of the purchase, but rather would reinvest some of the $4 purchase price into the buildings and property and operate rent-free for 20 years. The capital investment would be in lieu of rent.
Residents of Yarmouthport, which overlooks the facility, wary of the purchase, especially as it relates to the possibility of a wind turbine being added to the facility, addressed the commissioners at their Oct. 24 meeting during public comment.
An open and transparent review process was requested before final decisions are reached.
Also addressing commissioners on the topic was Suzanne McAuliffe, former Yarmouth selectman and current candidate for Yarmouth's Assembly seat. She also suggested caution as the commissioners consider the proposal. She offered similar cautions before the assembly last month.
County Commissioners Chair Mary Pat Flynn of Falmouth said that the commissioners are still reviewing the proposal and have reached no decisions. She said that once the discussion reaches time for public review, there would be opportunity at public hearings for members of the public to make their views known.
ARC supplies more than 90 percent of the seed stock used in Cape aquaculture projects.

The Soviet pre-eminence in chess can be traced to the average Russian's
readiness to brood obsessively over anything, even the arrangement of
some pieces of wood. Indeed, the Russians' predisposition for quiet
reflection followed by sudden preventive action explains why they led
the field for many years in both chess and ax murders. It is well
known that as early as 1970, the U.S.S.R., aware of what a defeat at
Reykjavik would do to national prestige, implemented a vigorous program
of preparation and incentive. Every day for an entire year, a team of
psychologists, chess analysts and coaches met with the top three
Russian grand masters and threatened them with a pointy stick. That
these tactics proved fruitless is now a part of chess history and a
further testament to the American way, which provides that if you want
something badly enough, you can always go to Iceland and get it from
the Russians.

Post subject: Bumpy
Hi !
I think it depends on how you carry the baby and your starting body shape. For me i did not start to show until i was 7 months pregnant !!!!!. I was getting a bit worried to be honest with you as i was still wearing all of my normal clothes such as jeans with no problem and everyone kept asking if the baby was growing okay ??!!! Which was a big worry 1 However, all my checks with my midwife and scans etc showed the abby was fine ! I am due next week and now they think he might be too big!!!!!!!!!. The little fat baby has had a growth spurt these last 2 months !!!!!. Belly is quite big now and i can't wait for it to be normal again and am now glad i did not show for ages as this bump is so uncomfy !!!!!!!

It's so tempting to poke around though itsn't it! My morning sickness is getting worse everyday. I think it might be the amount of cheese and onion crisps I ate on the weekend URGGGHHHH

PROVIDENCE, R.I. � The price of gasoline in Rhode Island has increased one cent over the past week, according to AAA Southern New England.
The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.609 at self-service pumps in the Ocean State, according to AAA�s weekly survey.
A similar survey Thursday by the state Department of Energy Resources found the average price at $3.62.
According to AAA, the average price is the same as it was a month ago and one cent lower than it was a year ago.
Rhode Island drivers are paying four cents less than the national average of $3.649.
AAA�s survey found a 26-cent range in prices, from a low of $3.499 to a high of $3.759.

Hey everybody!!! I am getting things started early. I have confirmed this years (5th annual) event.
The 2012 Holiday Disc Golf Showdown will be held on Saturday, November 3rd at Terrace Hills Golf Course in Altoona, Iowa. There will be a flyer soon, but let me go ahead and provide a few details to get things going:
1. The same layout as last year will be used (any changes will be very minor).
2. Entry fees will be the same low price as last year. $25 for pro / advanced, and $20 for all other divisions. $5 Ace Fund. Carts will be $10 per person.
3. I am working on a pre-resgistration incentive which I will announce soon. Last year's event was a huge success with 94 players making the registration process longer and we pushed the limits on daylight and cart usage. Pre-registration will be strongly encouraged as we will have a strict cutoff time in order to begin on time.
4. Anyone that has been to one of my events knows there will be player packs for everyone (including pros) and enough prizes given away that no one goes home empty handed.
5. The trophies / plaques will be provided by me once again.
There will be more to come as always and most importantly, none of the above incentives (player packs, awards, prizes, and pre-registration incentive) will be taken out of the payout/entry fees. I love doing this event and I am determined to keep making it better. Hope to see a full field once again.

Stynes Passes
DUBLIN players, officials and fans have come together to remember dual star Jim Stynes after his untimely death at the age of just 45 in Australia.
Stynes finally lost his battle with cancer in the early hours of Tuesday morning when he died at his family home in Melbourne with wife Sam and his two young children at his side.
The Aussie Rules star – the only non-Australian to win the coveted Brownlow Medal – has been remembered as a great Gaelic footballer and a unique human being.
His charity work and his inspiration to others fighting cancer have been well chronicled since his death, while such is his stature in Australia that the governor of Victoria will honor Stynes with a state funeral.
Back home, former teammates and coaches paid tribute to the player who won an All-Ireland minor football medal with Dublin in 1984 before embarking on a highly successful Aussie Rules career.
Former Dublin footballer and fellow Ballyboden St. Enda's clubman Paul Bealin paid his own tribute to Stynes.
Bealin said, "Jim was a massive loss to both the club and the county when he went to Australia.
"And I think it was always a burning ambition of his to come home and play for the seniors and try and win an All-Ireland but unfortunately it never happened.
"But he had carved out such a career for himself in Australia that it was almost impossible for him to walk away. He was a legend around the club and he had a great way about him, a really great smile.
"He is a massive loss and my sympathy goes out to all of his family."
Likewise, former Ireland Compromise Rules team boss and former Down manager Pete McGrath paid tribute to Stynes whom he met on several occasions during the series in Australia.
McGrath told the Irish Sun, "For people who are unfortunate enough to be touched by cancer he showed them the positivity and courage on how to confront the disease.
"He was a man who showed the same focus, bravery and determination on the field. Those qualities help against the trauma and all the problems that life can throw up."
Dublin County Board chairman Andy Kettle said, "He was an iconic figure, he represented Dublin and Ireland with dignity and honor in Australia he showed his continuing love of Gaelic Games through his involvement with the International Rules."
Australians have also praised Stynes for his sporting ability and his courage in the face of cancer after his death was announced on Tuesday morning.
In a Facebook message, his wife Sam wrote, "Jim Stynes died on Tuesday the 20th of March at 8:20 a.m. Jim was pain free, dignified and peaceful. Matisse and Tiernan (his children) were present.
"Not surprisingly, in his last week of life Jim continued to defy the odds and lived his life to the fullest, attending the Melbourne vs. Hawthorn football match, his son Tiernan's seventh birthday celebration, the MFC blazer ceremony and a casual Friday night dinner at Toplinos in his much loved suburb St. Kilda.
"In his final days Jim was immersed with insurmountable love and tenderness surrounded by his family and some close friends in the comfort of his own home.
"On behalf of Jim my heartfelt thanks to all those who have so generously cared for, guided and supported Jim throughout his challenging cancer battle."

Lance Armstrong Takes Aim at '60 Minutes'
We'll give it to Lance Armstrong: he's not backing down in the face of growing accusations that he took performance enhancing drugs.
His former teammate Tyler Hamilton recently appeared on "60 Minutes" and suggested Armstrong had taken EPO, a banned drug that boosts red blood cells, during the 2001 Tour de Suisse.
Armstrong, who has denied participating in doping, has retained a high-powered legal team that includes white-collar lawyer to the stars John Keker.
That legal team is busily trying to earn its keep. It fired off a letter this week to the CBS News brass demanding an apology for alleged inaccuracies in the "60 Minutes" piece, the Austin American-Statesman reports.
Keker and his partner Elliot R. Peters accused "60 Minutes" of recklessly presenting information and bolstering their story with "untrue assertions and facts taken out of context."
CBS News chairman Jeff Fager said "60 Minutes" stood by the story as "truthful, accurate and fair," according to the Statesman.
Fager added: "Lance Armstrong and his lawyers were given numerous opportunities to respond to every detail of our reporting for weeks prior to the broadcast and their written responses were fairly and accurately included in the story. Mr. Armstrong still has not addressed charges by teammates Tyler Hamilton and George Hincapie that he used performance enhancing drugs with them."
In the May 22 broadcast, Hamilton said Armstrong had told him he'd tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs at the Tour of Switzerland and that "people took care of it" and "figured out a way for it to go away."
According to the letter, Armstrong did not test positive at the 2001 tour, the Statesman reports, noting that Armstrong is unsure whether he will sue the network. Armstrong hopes the network "will rectify the mistake," a spokesman for the cyclist said.
"We alerted '60 Minutes' producers in advance of the show that virtually every single one of these allegations was false. We provided evidence to prove it, and we warned CBS that the defamatory message that it sought to convey was an outrage," Keker and Peters wrote. "A categorical on-air apology is required."

Andrew Bogut has been out with a fractured left ankle. The Golden State Warriors' center had surgery to repair the ankle and has been rehabbing ever since. While there is still no timetable for his exact return, the Warriors are hopeful that he can return for the team's opening game against the Phoenix Suns.
According to Matt Steinmetz of CSN Bay Area, Bogut met with Dr. Richard Ferkel in an effort to gauge his recovery and get an idea of when he could return to action. General Manager, Bob Meyers is hopeful after the visit. He believes Bogut could return for the opener.
"He's been cleared," Myers said of Bogut. "There's nothing structural that's holding him back. It's more on feel and how the ankle is responding. He's doing some live one-on-one. He's not telling (Bogut) he can't do five-on-five, he's telling him to keep moving forward and keep listening to his body."
Bogut has averaged 12.7 points per game and 9.3 rebounds per game in his career. He spent his entire career with the Milwaukee Bucks until this season. He was traded to Golden State in March along with Stephen Jackson. The Bucks got Monta Ellis, Epke Udoh, and Kwame Brown in the deal.
Golden State will open their season in Phoenix on October 31st. While the preseason is not a good indicator of how the regular season will go, the team has been successful without Bogut. They are 5-1 so far this preseason.

The Gypsy Robe
The Gypsy Robe has been a Broadway tradition for the past 40 years. The garment is considered magical and brings with it luck, tradition, and a sense of community. It is named for the ensemble performers, or "gypsies," who move from show to show. These singers and dancers are the unsung heroes of the stage. The robe is decorated with mementos from each person who has received it and is presented to a member of the ensemble who displays the greatest dedication and commitment.
It is traditional for the robe to be presented on opening night before curtain time. A member of the chorus is crowned the new king or queen of the gypsies.

E3 2013: Battlefield 4 Multiplayer Hands-On Preview – Shanghai Boom
Written Friday, June 28, 2013 By Dan WebbView author's profile
Battlefield is back, baby! Well, back to its truly best that is. As much as we loved Battlefield 3 we couldn't help but feel a bit perturbed by the lack of environmental destruction that we'd fallen in love with in Bad Company 2. You know, like levelling a whole town on the Arica Harbour map during a game of Rush; that kind of stuff never got old. Sure, Battlefield 4 might not be that mental when it comes to destruction… Oh, wait, scrap that. You can bring down a chuffin' skyscraper. Yeah, it's slightly more mental.
Forget the crappy buzz words like "levolution" that DICE tried to shove down our throats when it first unveiled the multiplayer at EA's E3 press conference, because it's more than just a buzz word. Battlefield's 4 destruction is a game changer.
Amid the hustle and bustle of E3, amongst the kerfuffle on the show floor we stepped up to go hands-on with 64-player multiplayer madness, set in Shanghai on a map they're calling Siege of Shanghai. First up, 64 players is finally coming to consoles - well, next-gen consoles that is - so no longer will console players feel like they're getting less of a game than PC owners. Again, to reiterate, that's next-gen owners I'm talking about. Combine that with 60 frames per second, and the next-gen Battlefield showing is already infinitely better than that on the ageing current console architecture.
Conquest was the name of the game - you know, Battlefield's iconic territories style mode - and working as part of a team was as necessary as ever. Like any good Battlefield map, Shanghai is a sprawling map with various different sectors, whether it's interiors of certain buildings, back alleys, bridges, river banks, wide-open streets, rivers to trek across, a subway to fight through, Shanghai has it all. Then there's your usual array of vehicles, from tanks, attack choppers and armoured APCs. That's all you effectively need to create what DICE has coined as "Battlefield moments," and rightly so.
I'm not going to bore you by saying that "the controls are responsive, tight and there's the usual fluency about them." It's Battlefield, you all know how it controls – like one of the best FPSs on the market. What I will touch upon though is the unpredictability and cause and effect that the new destruction mechanics have on the flow of play. But first, an amusing story.
While 2012 was the year of the bow and arrow, 2013 looks set to be the year of the bollard – yes, the bollard! We've all seen how Watch Dogs uses them to change the scope of its combat, but Battlefield uses them in a slightly different way that can cause just as chaotic outcomes.
Rather cleverly, DICE has placed bollards with a control panel on the numerous bridges in Shanghai, which is all well and good if you rock up to a bridge alone. Should you be ambushed when going for the panel – like we did to a pair on unsuspecting tanks – then you know it's just not your day.
Hiding unwearyingly by a panel that retracts a set of bollards to block access to our half of the map, a small group of our team sat armed with rocket launchers – with our own tank just out of sight – waiting patiently for our chance to get the upper hand in the large scale warfare that shook Shanghai. A minute or two passed, nothing, and this group of people who were unable to communicate – no headsets, see? – or coordinate with one another must have been on the same wavelength. Not one of the six-or-so strong group budged an inch. Then, all of a sudden, a convoy of two tanks rocked up to the bridge, obviously keen to get our "A" territory under their control. Big mistake.
The two tanks stopped for a second, completely inactive, almost like they argued amongst themselves about who was getting out to flick the switch. Then, rather cautiously, one enemy soldier jumped out and headed for the panel, with no of way knowing what anarchy was about to descend upon them. At that point, just above my right shoulder a large calibre round sniper bullet whizzed past as if it was late for an appointment, and wham, all hell broke loose.
That breaking of fire led to one of the most epic ambushes I've ever experienced in Battlefield. Simultaneously we all leapt from our cover with rocket launchers locked and loaded, pinging as much devastation at the tanks before they knew what hit them. Bang! One tank went up in flames and at that point the other tank knew he was in for a world of hurt and retreated rather quickly. Still on the same wavelength though, everyone – almost in tandem – reloaded their launchers and launched a volley of rockets to see off our foe. A win for us, not only tactically, but mentally. Now we could push forward as a group, using our tank as the battering ram to capture the well fortified enemy outposts. Victory was sweet.
Then there's the moment that you first witness the destruction of a ginormous skyscraper, something that isn't scripted by the way. It's down to the player (or players) to bring that one down. What was once a beautiful city with a bright blue sky beaming overheard suddenly became a hot zone of destruction and chaos. Not only was the creaking and crumbling of the falling skyscraper a terrifying experience, but the plume of smoke that billowed out from the rubble as it hit the ground reduced visibility, and that once majestic skyscraper that was perfect cover from all the aerial chaos that ensued suddenly became a maze of debris that lone shooters could hide themselves in.
It not only changes the face of the map visually, but it changes the complexity of the tactics too, meaning that it can be a last resort to turn the tide of a match if you're up against it. You'll never forget that first moment you hear, feel and see a skyscraper in Battlefield 4 come tumbling around you. Spine-chilling stuff, especially if it's you that brings it down.
That right there is Battlefield 4. Frenetic matches that switch from taking down choppers and watching them crash into skyscrapers, to bollard ambushes in an instant. And that moment when the skyscraper comes down and changes the face of the map, that's when you'll have to stop and pinch yourself to see whether it was real. There's no doubt in my mind that Battlefield 4 will put Battlefield 3's multiplayer to shame when it ships in November. The only problem now is we have to wait all that time for it.
Battlefield 4 is scheduled for an October 29th and November 1st release on current-gen consoles in North America and Europe respectively, while also coming on the next-gen at a later unspecified date.

Andrew Bell takes his place at Bolsa, where he'll step in as executive chef Nov. 1.
That's big news for two important restaurants. Bell comes off gigs at Nosh Euro Bistro and, more recently (according to his resume), the Mansion Restaurant. According to the press release, he will introduce new dinner and brunch menus "within a very short period of time."
Harris, one of Dallas' most creative, forward-looking and versatile chefs, started making his mark on the Dallas dining scene when he was chef de cuisine at the erstwhile Craft, which he helped earn four stars in 2010. Harris also was named one of The Best in DFW: Chefs that year, and then again in 2012 at Bolsa. His new employer, Consilient, is Tristan Simon and the Headington Companies' restaurant group. It also owns Hibiscus, Victor Tangos, Fireside Pies, Front Room and other restaurants. Earlier this month Consilient opened CBD Provisions at the Joule hotel, where it manages operations.

What does DISD's superintendent finalist have in common with the last two leaders? The name Mike.
Here's a quick tidbit:
Dallas ISD trustees selected Mike Miles as lone finalist for the DISD superintendent job. Upon his official hiring, expected on April 26, he will be the third consecutive "Mike" to lead the Dallas school district.
Mike is typically a short form of the name Michael. DISD's most recent superintendents are Michael Hinojosa, from 2005 to 2011, and Mike Moses from 2001 to 2004.
According to Thinkbabynames.com, the name Mike was very common from 1940 to 1960. The origin of the name is Hebrew and means "Who is like God? or "Who resembles God?"
So now you know…

Han Ye-seul Wins Over Detractors as Amnesiac Heiress
The character played by Han Ye-sul (24) in the MBC drama ¡°Couple of Fantasy¡± is a kind of Korean Paris Hilton, and her catchphrase ¡°Look at you¡¦¡± is on everybody¡¯s lips. An audacious heiress, Ana Jo becomes a comic character with disordered hair and cheap clothes after losing her memory due to an accident. Han¡¯s popularity is soaring thanks to the attractive qualities she brings to the role of a haughty rich girl brought low.
¡°Aren¡¯t they cute? I mean Netizens. They say I was such an unattractive character but suddenly became so charming. Those anti-fans¡¦ They suddenly became big fans,¡± Han laughs. Her clothes are unflattering, but they can¡¯t hide her beautiful chiseled face. ¡°I am a completely different person from Ana Jo. In fact, I think I¡¯m lovely, delicate and rarely get angry.¡± Han says she never expected she would become this popular. ¡°When I decided to play a character like Ana Jo, who is arrogant and haughty, I was ready for any criticism from viewers, but instead I¡¯m getting very friendly responses and I was really surprised,¡± she says. ¡°When I see how popular characters like Ana Jo are, I realize that Korea is changing fast. The public is becoming more open-minded. It¡¯s cool. Such a mindset is important for us to develop, isn¡¯t it?¡± She has a tendency to answer a question with another question.
Han made her debut in entertainment when she won a super model contest. She became a star thanks to the rude and bizarre role she played in another MBC drama, ¡°Non Stop,¡± in 2004. Recently she spent a year off with her family in the U.S. ¡°The reason why I had so many detractors was that I became a star so fast. Our citizens have a strong sense of justice.¡± Isn¡¯t she afraid of spoiling her image by playing such a role? She is breaking down barriers step by step as Ana Jo. ¡°I¡¯ve been a star rather than an actress, and that¡¯s no good. Stars have an inflated image and a short lifespan. I want to be more passionate about my job and build my career so that I can act for a long time.¡±
Complimented that her acting has greatly improved, she giggles and covers her mouth. ¡°Really? It¡¯s so nice to hear that. I think I¡¯m very lucky.¡± She speaks English fluently and wants to enter the U.S. market too. Asked if she wants to follow in the footsteps of Kim Yun-jin, who is a star thanks to her part in the ABC hit series ¡°Lost,¡± she is quick to respond. ¡°It¡¯s so childish to say I want to do better than someone else.¡± Does she have a role model? ¡°There are so many excellent actors and actresses out there¡¦My job is acting, but I don¡¯t like watching dramas or movies, so I can¡¯t answer your question. It¡¯s ironic, isn¡¯t it?¡±

Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the gentleman's courtesy and the work going on here.
Mr. Chairman, earlier we had a flurry of activity, because this is a complex and controversial area. I appreciate my other friend from Illinois helping spotlight some of the potential problems that we have potentially of overreaching in terms of what we want to do dealing with export controls and dual-use technology.
This is an area that if we are not careful, if it is not carefully crafted, could potentially boomerang against American interests. It could actually undermine what we want and in fact encourage the flow of business away from the United States and actually encourage other countries to step in and accelerate their development.
I think there has been a lot of hard work done to sort of try and hit the sweet spot here, to try and deal with some very real concerns about proliferation of sensitive technology, but to also be sensitive to the needs of American technology-based industries.
We have had conversations in our committee in the past. Some of what we have done I think needs to catch up with where technology has gone.
There is probably more technology at home in the bedroom of Emily Ann in my house than the United States had when it developed the atomic bomb in terms of computer technology. We need to be I think sensitive to making sure that we do not put a stranglehold on American interests and that we are able to move forward to deal with our legitimate interests.
I hope that as we move forward with this, that there is an opportunity for us to have a broader conversation about dual-use applications, about export controls, and be able to move forward in the future with the sophistication that it deserves.

Pandas at Play
|A must for Sichuan are the pandas. The region now has 50 reserves for pandas as the earthquake in 2008 devastated much of the natural region, especially with the bamboo. We visited the reserve at Ya'an and were delighted with the young pandas having fun. Although disappointed not to really have a chance to find in the wild, China seems to be providing these effective reserves as the grounds were well tended and all the pandas in suitable environments.

This is a great take on the natural playfulness of these exotic creatures and I wish there were more of them!
It used to be one of my dreams to someday spot pandas in the wild. I honestly doubt if this is even possible anymore, at least for a westerner. Did you get the sense during your visit that these rare animals are off-limits or just unreachable in their natural environs, Richard?

Dong, P, Weng, FZ, Liu, QH, Xue, JS (2009). Deriving infrared land surface emissivity from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REMOTE SENSING, 30(8), 2021-2031.
AbstractA multiregression technique was developed for deriving infrared land surface emissivity from a set of microwave emissivities. By removing the atmospheric contribution to Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) observations, the microwave land surface emissivity can be obtained by using the SSMIS window channel signatures and the surface temperature. High correlation between the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface infrared emissivity product and the set of microwave emissivities was found. The experimental results show that single-channel microwave-infrared regressions do not work but multiple microwave channels can describe much of the infrared variability. The derived infrared land surface emissivity agrees with the MODIS land surface emissivity in general. The method can be used to compute infrared land surface emission at both clear and very cloudy conditions. Large variability in the infrared surface emissivity is found over desert regions. The change in the infrared emissivity over the Saharan, Mongolian and Australian deserts is due to the different materials of the deserts.

Rae's First Apartment
Location:Brooklyn, New York
Square Feet:316
What I Love About My Home
This was my first apartment where I lived on my own, and I love the personal touches I can play with and enjoy. The blue wall is a color I picked out, the pictures and letters on the door are from family and friends, and one of my posters was designed by my college roommate. It reminds me of people I love, and it feels great to have put it all together.
Biggest Challenge in Furnishing My Home
I live in a studio and very much wanted distinct areas of living and sleeping so that if someone came over, they wouldn't feel like they were having dinner in my bedroom. Using screens that I painted, I was able to create the illusion of separate rooms. I think it makes the space feel so much bigger and gives my sleeping area a feeling of privacy, which can be hard to do in a small open space.
Comments (35)
I really like the bedroom area - it's cozy, relaxing, simple. I have GOT to try the white string lights in my room : )
Although not a fan of the Mao calendar either, I think you've done a lovely job, it's full of personality and warmth and colour, it looks like a great place to live in.
You have done a great job with a small space. The use of shutters as a room divider is brilliant.
You have worked in a lot of storage, great splash of colour and created a space full of warmth. There seems to be a lot of living in a small space! Good job!
Oh wow...The strings of lights, the curtain tacked up above the bed, the memorabilia on the door, the sofa covered with a fitted sheet, let me count the ways that this is a good first start. Carry on!
I love this because it brought on a purely emotional reaction in me. It makes me want to be young and resourceful again and I can see myself, 20 years ago, tucking my feet under me on that sofa and talking with my best girlfriend until the sun came up. It's tiny, but it has huge soul. I admire the space saving/creating solutions of many of these entries, but when a 316 sf space can evoke nostalgia? That's interior design. Well done!
I never thought I'd see the day when people who visit a design blog would freak out over a Warhol Chairman Mao print. Get with it, weirdos.
Honestly, I find it hard to believe that folks writing in to this site--who can quote the price of any MCM replica furniture you care to name--don't recognize an Andy Warhol reproduction when they see one. It's a wacky old world. You've got a charming place, very homey. Nice use of light and colour.
seriously... i almost freaked when the mao tsetung comment was made... c'mon...
your place looks great! super cozy.
What DipDipDive said. Jesus, people! And don't ever come to my apt.; you'll see reproductions of early Soviet era movie posters. Horrors!! Stenberg brothers FTW!
(And btw, ya'll can buy cheap crap at Walmart and Target because Mao opened up China to the West. So stop the sanctimony, hypocrites.)
nice use of space, but i think you could find something much better to hang over your bed. I believe it's a shower curtain or just a curtain. Nothing might be better that hanging that. Not sure if it serves another purpose (and if it does, then my mistake).
It's cute! I love all the little details. Personally, though, I would arrange the photos and clothes differently.
the thing that cracks me up about the Mao comment is that he's "the COMMUNIST leader". Like we're blogging back in the 1950s or something.
Looks really cozy and a great place to come home to. I love the blue wall behind the TV, and the christmas lights are lovely as well.
And the Mao comments are hilarious. Seriously? I have a scroll of Mao's calligraphy on my wall because it's beautiful calligraphy. I guess that makes me an awful human being.
This place made me smile and remember my first studio... Nice. I think that blue is a little dark. A lighter color would be even better.
Love the bedroom with the lights...also, enjoyed seeing you didn't line up the bed and the couch on one wall (like sometimes happens). Really nice!!
Love the bed area with the fairy lights and screen. Like the blue behind the tv make the wall pop, it is easy to be too timid with color in a v small space.
Warhol is worth wall space Seriously anyone should be able to recognise a Warhol. If you can't it is time to check out some library books on art in the 20th century.

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
Comic-Con International special guests Van Jensen and Dusty Higgins will have more details and artwork on Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer and the Great Puppet Theater at the big con later this month. Until then, here's another character reveal, Isabella … could she be based on the She-Wolf of France? Well, maybe not …
Here's some additional info on the book:
Pinocchio's back… but who are his friends!?! In the sequel to the 2009 graphic novel Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer by Dusty Higgins and Van Jensen, the titular puppet has to share the undead-killing stage. The stakes are raised in Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer and the Great Puppet Theater (SLG Publishing) as Pinocchio unravels the mystery of the vampire menace and his own shadowy background. The sequel will hit shelves in October.
Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer was named one of the Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens in 2010 by YALSA. Follow Pinocchio on Twitter: @p_vampireslayer
I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner, but the group is obviously made up of commedia characters. So I'd guess the one on the left will be Punch/Pulcinella (looks like a bat he's holding). I'll go out on a limb and guess the far right is Zanni, maybe Pantalone.
I noticed that as well when Harlequin was announced. That said, it's a pity that he's straying so far away from the iconic character designs that have been around for centuries. I say this as a commedia dell'arte performer who also happens to enjoy comics.
Harlequin/Arlecchino's, for example, has a few elements that identify him and make him immediately recognizable yet allow an artist a great deal of creative license– yet I see none of those features.

"The problem [of loan defaults] will be significantly bigger next year [2008] because 2006 [mortgages] had lower...standards."
-Henry Paulson, U.S. Treasury Secretary
"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."Questions from the Turkish Daily News, Istanbul, Turkey:
-John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946)
Question No 1- What triggered the US subprime crisis? can you compare it to past crises such as the 80s crisis?
Dr. Tremblay: Four interrelated factors are responsible for creating the ongoing [subprime mortgage]financial crisis that is raging in the United States today.
First,monetary policy. After the technology dotcom bubble burst in 2001 and brought about the March to November 2001 recession, the Greenspan Fed aggressively lowered the Federal Funds rate from 6.5% to 1% in 2004, the lowest it had been since 1958. it is considered now that this was excessive, and that the Fed should not have lowered the Federal funds rate below 2%, and that it should have begun to raise it sometime in 2002. Indeed, from 2002 to 2004, the American central bank pursued a monetary policy that was too expansionary. Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan has argued to explain his policies that he was afraid of an onset of deflation, but few economists agree with him. Between 2002 and 2004, the Fed had no need to keep real short term interest rates so negative for so long, especially as the Bush administration was cutting tax rates and increasing military expenditures with its military invasion of Iraq (cont'd after flip).
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Second, the housing boom. Abnormally low interest rates in the U.S., but also elsewhere because of the interconnections between money and capital markets, fed a housing boom world-wide which was unsustainable because partly based on price speculation. Indeed, mortgage rates in the U.S. remained low, even after the Fed started to raise the Federal funds rate from 1% in mid-2004 to 5.25% in June 2006. This was brought about by Americans borrowing huge amounts abroad. — In 2006, the U.S. current account deficit even reached 6% of GDP. China, Japan and oil-producing countries were the main buyers of U.S. Treasury bills and bonds.
Third,new banking rules. With ever rising house prices, lending institutions relaxed their lending rules as the housing collateral behind the loans was gaining in value. Mortgage banks and other lenders began to accommodate subprime borrowers with dubious credit by extending mortgage loans to homebuyers who would not have qualified in other times. Nontraditional home loans were advanced to borrowers who had no documented incomes. Some loans were interest-only loans with down payments of 5% or less. Some were adjustable rate loans (ARMs), with low rates for one or two years to be reset later at much higher rates. In 2006, about 25 percent of American mortgages were subprime and close to 20 percent were adjustable rate loans.
Fourth,new financial instruments. With the demand for mortgage loans increasing, large banks resorted to some inventive financing of their own in order to economize their capital. They began repackaging loans and slicing them into some exotic new types of securities, and in so doing, shifted their lending risk to the buyers of such securities. Thus came into being a new class of securities — often rated AAA by credit rating agencies — that money market funds, insurance companies, pension funds and other investors could purchase.
These new "structured investment vehicles" (SIVs) came under various names such as "Collateralized Bond Obligations" (CBOs) or "Collateralized Debt Obligations" (CDOs). They had the characteristics of unfunded short-term asset-based commercial paper(ABCP). It is this ABCP market which is unraveling presently in the United States and elsewhere, and which is at the center of the current financial crisis. At its peak in the summer of 2007, the U.S. ABCP market was valued at some $1.170 trillion. It has fallen now to some $900 billion and is still contracting, as banks write down bad debts. [N.B.: This process of financial disintermediation may last many years.]
The savings-and-loans crisis of the early 1980's was also a serious blow to the U.S. economy. Over 1,000 savings and loan financial institutions failed, and losses were estimated to have totaled around $150 billion. As well, the crisis was a contributing cause to the 1990-1991 recession. This time around, the financial crisis is at the very least as bad, if not worse, because it involves the integrity of the entire American banking sector. The extent of the losses this time is not yet fully known, but everybody agrees that it will be very substantial.
[Another 1990 example is the near failure of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM), in September 1998. The Federal Reserve (FED) had to intervene in panic and provide liquidity in order to prevent a forced liquidation of the large positions held by LTCM, which would have depressed bond prices and hike interest rates, at a time there was a financial crisis in Asia. — N.B.: Hedge funds are essentially speculative private entities that take risky financial positions in interest rate, currency and commodity derivatives, and in financial markets in general.]
Question No 2- How will the average American be affected?
Dr. Tremblay: Since home ownership is a large portion of theaverage American's net worth, declining house prices and foreclosures on delinquent mortgage loans are bound to reduce private consumption spending in the coming months through a negative "wealth effect". The loss of jobs and incomes in the construction and financial industries is also going to negatively impact consumption spending. Above all, the average American may have to reduce his debt load. Together, mortgage debt and consumer debt account for some 125 percent of disposable income. These are historically high levels.
Question No 3- How do you assess Fed's policies after the outbreak? What is your opinion about the scepter of inflation?
Dr. Tremblay: Well, as I wrote on my blog of last September 21, I think the Bernanke Fed panicked when it announced a larger than expected half percentage point cut in both the federal funds rate and in the discount rate, and this after having slashed its discount rate by a half point, on August 17 (2007). The purpose was to facilitate distress borrowing by America's largest banks and to facilitate the bailout of their affiliates (known as conduits) and other operators, such as hedge-funds, caught in the sub-prime loans crisis. In so doing, the Bernanke Fed is, to a certain extent, following Walter Bagehot's advice for aggressive discounting in a situation of financial crisis. The only problem is that Bagehot's rule calls for the central bank to lend copiously in times of critical credit stringency ... but at a high rate of interest. By lending to troubled lenders at reduced preferential rates, the Fed has been acting as their "government" or their 'insurer", i.e. subsidizing their risky loans operations and innovative finance, while taxing anybody else who holds American dollars. It is not only attempting to make the banks more "liquid", but also more "solvable" and less likely to fail.
In so doing, and especially with its policy of abandoning the dollar in foreign exchange markets, the Bernanke Fed is sowing the seeds of future inflation. All the new money that has been injected into the financial system will be difficult to retrieve and inflationary pressures should begin to show in a few years, after an expected economic slowdown. The more so that the 54-year average long inflation-disinflation-deflation Kondratieff cycle is about to run its course by 2010-11. A new inflation phase should begin thereafter.
Question No 4- When the US coughs, the world gets flu, they say. What will happen when the US gets a flu such as this? What are the prospects for emerging market such as Turkey, which rely on exports, plus have seen massive foreign capital inflows during the past 5 years?
Dr. Tremblay: The U.S. economy accounts for about one quarter of the world economy, so it is reasonable to expect that an American slowdown will impact other economies. As of now, Europe and Asia are still booming. However, the decline in the U.S. dollar and the concomitant appreciation of the euro and most other currencies, coupled with the rise of the price of oil, is bound to have a negative impact on these economies. In fact, it can take as much as two years for a currency over appreciation to impact the real economy.
The danger forTurkeyis to be caught with an overvalued currency while pursuing an export-led growth strategy. Indeed, in the last few years the (new) Turkish lira has risen against the U.S. dollar and even against the euro. This has had beneficial effects in the fight against inflation, but this also could hurt future growth. The most recent example of such a predicament was Argentina, in the late 1990's, which was forced to abandon its peg to the U.S. dollar.
Question No 5- Do you perceive a difference of approach between the Anglo-Saxon economies and continental Europe economies, which have, for the most part, come out unscathed?
Dr. Tremblay: As you know, some European banks had to be bailed out after suffering huge losses coming from their asset-backed commercial paper operations. As a consequence, theBank of Englandand theEuropean Central Bankhave injected huge sums of new money in their banking sectors. In the U.S., the Fed has a double mission, which is to contain inflation but also to accommodate economic growth. In Europe, the ECB's central mission is to contain inflation. This does not mean that there are not political pressures to abandon the fight against inflation in order to spur growth, as Mr. Sarkozy's campaign against Mr. Trichet's policies well illustrates. On the whole, however, it would seem that the rush toward irresponsible banking practices was less prevalent in Europe than in the United States, and that the negative impact should be less prevalent in Europe than in the USA.
Question No 6- What is the lesson to be learned from this crisis, and what kind of precautions should be taken?
Dr. Tremblay: Obviously, there was a lack of diligence and supervision on the part of central banks and of other regulatory agencies, especially in the United States. Former Fed Chairman (1951-1970) William McChesney Martin once said that "The job of the Federal Reserve is to take away the punch bowl just when the party starts getting interesting." — As the subprime financial crisis was getting up steam, the Greenspan Fed seemed to have been too close to the Bush administration and its political objectives and not enough aware of the danger that new financial rules were creating for the health of the financial system and of the economy as a whole. The Fed should have taken the monetary punch bowl away in 2003-04, but it did not. We still do not know the extent of the damage that has been done to the real economy. I hope it can be contained and will not spread.
Question No 7- Do you foresee a US recession?
Dr. Tremblay: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson do not see a recession in the U.S. in 2008. As for myself, I think an economic slowdown is unavoidable in 2008. I do hope that the worst-case scenario will not materialize. However, I expect nevertheless a mild American recession in 2008, to be followed by a more severe one in 2010-2011 (at the trough of the 10 year cycle).
Question No 8- What will be the impact on
a. The dollar?
Dr. Tremblay: Well, the U.S. dollar has been declining for many years and is hitting all-time lows against the euro. In 2000, the euro was worth less than 83 cents, but it is now close to $1.50, a 45 percent depreciation for the dollar. I think the current phase of the dollar decline is close to have run its course. Baring some big geopolitical shock, the U.S. dollar could rebound in the months ahead. It is presently very much oversold.
Over the long run, we have entered a period where the demand for energy and resources is going to be strong relative to supplies. This should favor the currencies of resource-based economies, such as Canada, Australia and the emerging economies in general.
and b. On oil prices?
Dr. Tremblay: Oil prices have been the mirror image of the decline of the U.S. dollar. At close to $100 a barrel, the oil market is either close to a top, or is factoring in a Bush-Cheney bombing of Iran and a resulting serious disruption in oil shipping in the gulf of Hormuz. If there were to be a conflict between the United States and Iran, oil prices could go much higher, before plummeting down due to a worldwide recession. If it turns out that there is no hot conflict with Iran and no disruptions in the supply of oil, the present high prices would logically ratchet down.

Jonathan Nitschke is the CEO of JND, a Hahndorf based, family owned drilling company that was established in 1962 by his father John Nitschke.
With drilling contracts across Australia with some of the world's largest mining companies and demand for drilling rigs exceeding supply, JND is in a period of tremendous growth.
Can you tell us about your career and how it led to becoming CEO at JND?
After finishing year 12, I deferred my tertiary studies and worked for 12 months in the family drilling business as a Driller's Assistant. I aspired to manage the family's rural business interests in the state's south east so I studied Farm Management at Roseworthy Agriculture College. However, on completing my studies the rural industry was in recession, so I decided to put my farming career on hold and go drilling to earn some money.
Starting as a drillers assistant I worked under my father who taught me my trade. Having grown up around drilling rigs I was soon promoted to being a driller in charge of my own rig at the age of 21. Over the years I worked in a variety of roles within the organisation and as the company grew, my knowledge and experience grew with it. I continued to work with the family to expand the business and later became the Operations Manager, General Manager and now CEO.
Briefly, what does your role involve?
As the leader of this company it is my role to ensure we get the best outcomes for our clients and also for the organisation. Some of my key responsibilities include contract management and compliance, business development, and strategic planning and ensuring the safe operation of all JND personnel and activities. We have a Visible Felt Leadership philosophy within JND, meaning that employees need to hear and see their leaders living safe practices everyday and taking an active interest in the performance and environments of the workforce.
I regularly visit our sites to see our people and clients so I know what is going on. I am also part of a team that undertakes problem solving and advises on technical drilling issues. Respect in this industry works best with both staff and clients if you can not only talk the talk, but actually walk the walk.
What are the most rewarding aspects of your job?
It has been rewarding to be able to build a small business with only a handful of employees into a much larger one that has become a contractor of choice and an employer of choice to Australia's mining industry. We are well respected within the Australian drilling industry and have the people, equipment and expertise to undertake technically challenging projects. It takes years to build a good reputation and only a day to destroy it, so you have to work on it every day.
What are some of the challenges facing JND?
A unique feature of our company is that all of our drilling rigs and almost 90% of our workforce are based outside of South Australia. This poses a number of challenges for us in terms of staffing and maintaining equipment, but it is the nature of our work. Drilling rigs are in short supply across Australia and we are always being asked if we can provide more rigs. We have 15 rigs currently in operation and are awaiting delivery of another two in early 2012.
However, drilling rigs don't operate without a workforce, so recruiting and retaining the right people in a competitive market is always a challenge for any company.
What are some of the company's recent successes?
Recent contract wins have seen JND providing drilling rigs to Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton for iron ore exploration near Newman, WA, and with Arrow Energy for coal seam gas exploration in Dalby, QLD. Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance also signed a long term contract with JND in December 2010 in Moranbah, QLD as part of a major coal exploration program. This increased demand is reflected in the dramatic increase in annual turnover for the company, rising from $29 million in 2010/11 to an expected $50 million this year and $100 million in five years.
In line with this, we recently purchased a 5,000 square metre site in Moranbah, approximately two hours' drive south west of Mackay, which will be set up as our Queensland branch. We also have a 6,000 square metre site in Newman, 450 kilometres south of Port Hedland in Western Australia. These facilities provide a base for our operations in these key mining areas, enabling maintenance and operational facilities to be established. Research and development of equipment and techniques is always a key focus for JND, and each year we dedicate over $2 million towards improving our operations.
What major changes have occurred in your industry in recent years?
The recent growth in mining exploration has provided tremendous opportunities for growth for JND. We have always been a very safety conscious company, but our industry requires a high level of compliance to strict safety standards. It is pleasing to see the general standards improving, but with an increased demand for workers, quality training and inductions are becoming essential.
What have been the highlights of your career to date?
In terms of growing the company, the highlight so far was becoming long-term contract partners with BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, two of the largest and most compliant mining companies in the world. To achieve this indicates the quality of the business we have established. I am also very proud of the way our company has grown and developed. The opportunity to lead a great team of drilling professionals while creating a positive company culture that strives for excellence is a great feeling.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
My favourite ways to relax are spending time with family and friends, enjoying good food and wine and travelling. If I get the chance to combine these three together, then it's been a pretty good day!

This is the third summer in a row (fourth in five years) that I've had to pack and unpack a classroom. In 2008, I packed up my stuff and left it at the school I was temporarily contracted to because I'd been laid off and wasn't sure if I'd be coming back. In 2009 I was also laid off, but figured I'd probably be back, so didn't bother packing. Also, a LOT of stuff in the classroom belonged to the previous teacher, so it wasn't a huge deal. The summer of 2010, my school was undergoing seismic upgrading, so the entire school had to pack up and move to a different building while the construction and deconstruction was going on. In 2011, we had to pack and unpack again to move back to the original building. Now, for the first time since I became a teacher, I wasn't laid off, so I decided to switch schools on my own behalf.
I'm a little nuts. Heh.
I'm really looking forward to this new challenge. I'll be teaching either grade 3/4 or a straight grade 3 class, in a non-Montessori classroom. Lots of changes! I've only ever taught in a grade 4/5 Montessori class, so I'm looking forward to potentially not having a split class, and I'm also looking forward to teaching in an officially non-Montessori class. I still love a lot of the Montessori philosophy, so I won't just be leaving all that behind, but I'm THRILLED that I'm not responsible for packing and unpacking forty boxes of Montessori materials. Beyond thrilled, actually.
All of my stuff got moved to my new classroom at the beginning of July (thanks to my two helpers!) and I've unpacked about eight boxes of novels. I'm not totally supposed to be in there until the last week of August, but I've snuck in a few times. Hopefully I'll get in a couple more times before the end of summer and will get things into a good place so that the last week is just minor organization.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By David Burns
Beekeeping, how to keep bees, David Burns
Sheri and I would like to extend a warm greeting to you and your family from our little corner of the world, Long Lane Honey Bee Farms.
I want to share with you what I believe is a powerful life lesson indeed. I want to share about the importance beekeeping can have in helping to make our lives complete. Beekeeping can greatly enrich our lives. Most of my life has been spent helping people through many challenges in life. People who have struggled with life's most challenging blows, poor health, family issues, unemployment, marital issues, and the list goes on.
When life throws us a curve, we may fall into despair and hopelessness. Life is good, but life can be hard at times, sometimes more than we can bear. During these times of struggle we can become overly engrossed in our woes. During these moments of heartache and depression, beekeeping can be very therapeutic.
The current hive that is standard throughout the beekeeping community was designed by Rev. Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth (1810-1895). His books and writings appear as if written by the lead entomologist of our day. Without the modern day University labs, Langstroth made life-changing discoveries about the bee and the construction of our current bee hive. Yet, Langstroth had bouts with depression, and when life drove him into some deep moments of despair and hopelessness, he poured himself into his bees. The entrances to his hives were the doorways into comfort and peace.
I've traveled to Israel 5 different times and remember listening on the news to Israel's former Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, giving a speech to the UN General Assembly in September, 2005. Part of his speech really left an impression on me. "I was born in the Land of Israel, the son of pioneers — people who tilled the land and sought no fights — who did not come to Israel to dispossess its residents. If the circumstances had not demanded it, I would not have become a soldier, but rather a farmer and agriculturist. My first love was, and remains, manual labor; sowing and harvesting, the pastures, the flock and the cattle."
For most of us, there is a desire to return to the land, to enjoy fresh air, feel the fertile soil between our fingers, to sow and harvest … manual labor. But life's circumstances have demanded we do other things.
Still, there is something in us that is restored and healed by the wind blowing through our hair, the sun in our face and the pleasant sounds of nature. Our soul is replenished by the smell of fresh flowers, freshly cut grass or newly plowed soil. Beekeeping is an outlet. An escape from our demands, problems and troubles and a return to that which can truly enrich our lives, nature at its best.
I cannot imagine my life without my bees. Some people watch TV and some attend sporting events for entertainment. But for me, nothing is as entertaining as watching my bees navigate the skies with their payloads hour after hour. Nothing keeps my mind sharp and expanding like learning about the honey bee.
Whether you ever make a profit from your bees or not, beekeeping brings about a completeness, a satisfaction that few things can offer.

On August 11, 2005, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an application of a pediatric/adolescent formulation of VAQTA® (hepatitis A vaccine, inactivated) (Merck & Co., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey) for use among persons aged 12 months–18 years. Previously, the pediatric/adolescent formulation of VAQTA was approved for use in persons aged 2-18 years. The approved labeling change applies only to VAQTA and not to other licensed hepatitis A vaccines.
The formulation, dosage, and schedule for VAQTA have not changed. Each 0.5 mL dose of the pediatric/adolescent formulation of VAQTA contains approximately 25 units of formalin-inactivated hepatitis A virus antigen, adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, in 0.9% sodium chloride. The formulation does not contain a preservative.
VAQTA is now indicated for active immunization of persons aged ≥12 months to protect against disease caused by hepatitis A virus. The primary vaccination schedule is unchanged and consists of 2 doses, administered on a 0, 6-18 month schedule. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has issued recommendations for hepatitis A vaccination.1
Results from the study to lower the age indication for VAQTA indicated that 100% of 343 initially seronegative children aged 12-23 months who received 2 doses of VAQTA had seroconverted to antibody levels previously indicated to be protective. The study also indicated that VAQTA may be administered concomitantly with M-M-R II (measles, mumps, and rubella virus vaccine live). Insufficient data are available to evaluate the concomitant use of VAQTA with other routinely recommended childhood vaccines. According to the general recommendations of ACIP, inactivated vaccines generally do not interfere with the immune response to other inactivated or live vaccines.2
In combined clinical trials reported as part of the labeling change application, 706 healthy children aged 12-23 months received ≥1 doses of VAQTA alone or in combination with other routinely recommended pediatric vaccines. The most commonly reported complaints after 1 or both doses of VAQTA were similar to those reported among older children.1 VAQTA is contraindicated in persons with known hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine.
