Fierce Calm
Long exposures of large fierce waves can produce a surprisingly ethereal and calm image. The waves you don't see in this image were around 4-6 feet tall. Quite tall for Lake Michigan, but what you'd expect after a thunderstorm. And since this is yet another horizon shot for me, I wanted to do something different with the composition. To emphasize the vastness of the lake, I placed the original photograph on a larger plain white background. It makes the scene feel somewhat intimate, yet the negative space implies there is a lot more to see. The image had an overall feeling of a charcoal or pencil drawing due to the long exposure. So using Topaz Impression, I also added a small amount of a sketch effect to the edges to blend the photograph into the white background.
Day 330 of my 365 photo a day project.

Friday, we once again get slimed with the BLS "ouija board" calculation on the monthly jobs number which, of course, includes a number for the "unemployment rate". And everyone is sitting on the edge of their seats wondering if the Fed Reserve will commence that nasty tapering if too many jobs suddenly materialize.
But we now know the jobs number includes any warm body that finds a few hours of employment during any given BLS survey week (part time worker). Additionally we know that large numbers of workers are losing full time jobs to those who are willing to take part time jobs.
So here's my question. Why do economists expect the "average workweek" to remain at 34.5 hours per week where it has remained for months? Isn't the threat of Obamacare causing many employers to reduce their employee workweeks to below 30 hours per week? And just last month alone we saw that 240,000 full time employees were relegated to part time work.
I'm just wondering......
Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if a sufficient number recognized the numeric sleight of hand for what it is, enough so that the BLS was greeted with literary razz-berries and Bronx cheers when they tried to peddle their tripe? Most of those that I communicate recognize their proclamations as nothing more than propaganda and I work to increase that number whenever I'm given fertile soil to till.
The other issue I believe to be worthy of consideration is the declining work week, but I have a different slant. Could it be part (or even a focal point) of the program to softly destroy the American worker and thus the economy, at least the visible economy? I say that because as the work week shrinks, we should also continue to see a further and steady decline in the velocity of money, a metric that is already so anemic it scarcely gets mentioned any longer. The end result would be that the soft depression, as opposed to the harsh recessionary period we're going through, would create a situation to where a uniform pushback by the people would be very difficult to orchestrate... sort of slowly letting the air out of the balloon all the while knowing that the controllers have a death grip control on all resources.
Moses....correctomundo! "....controllers have a death grip control on all resources".
For one thing....part time workers can't afford to buy homes, especially since Blackstone and other hedgies are driving up prices with cash purchases of considerable housing stock. And today we found out that Blackstone is filing the paperwork to float $240 million in "rental backed" securities.... reminiscent of the securitized mortgages that were responsible for the '08 crash. And the government has the backs of these hedge funds via Subsection 8 rent subsidies, the fallback when minimum wage earners can no longer afford the rents on banker owned real estate. Nothing like providing a taxpayer safety net to the big banks taking over the communities we live in.

Friday, January 17, 2014
By Mark Pazniokaswww.ctmirror.org
Without a formal vote or public hearing, the Connecticut General Assembly's four top leaders have approved the installation of metal detectors at the State Capitol complex, embracing an oft-rejected precaution now common at courthouses, congressional offices, federal buildings and many other public institutions.
Notice of the change was made today by the State Capitol Police Department. It was applauded by some legislators, while others endorsed it only with great reluctance, including at least two of the four leaders who signed off on what was a police recommendation.
"I'm sad about it," said House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk. "This has been my home in some ways for 21 years now. The fact is we're now at this place with our society and our fears, which are especially heightened after Newtown. But going down this route is sad."
Metal detectors have been used only sporadically at the Capitol complex, most recently in January 2013, when thousands of people, mostly gun owners opposed to gun controls proposed after the school massacre in Newtown, were screened before entering the Legislative Office Building.

WHITE PLAINS – Federal regulators have updated an environmental study of the Indian Point nuclear plant and still conclude there's no reason to shut the plant down.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a supplement to a 2010 study Tuesday. That study found Indian Point's impact is not great enough to deny a new 20-year license.
The NRC's staff considered new data about aquatic life in the Hudson River around the two reactors.
The staff found there would be only a small impact on endangered sturgeon.
It found a significant decline in the estimated number of organisms that would be sucked into the plant with river water used for cooling.
And it found the plant's warm-water discharge would have no noticeable effect on river life.
License hearings continue, and opponents can challenge the findings.

Hi, Thanks again for a great theme!
I was hoping to get a little bit of an explanation of how the featured images, slider, and thumbnails work as it appears to be a little unpredictable for me.
my site is http://www.jacksonwicks.com
On the homepage some images seem to get stretched or squashed, some get cropped, some use the featured images as the thumb but some just pull a regular image.
I'm happy to make custom square images for all of the featured images/thumbs, however then they wouldn't be the ideal proportion for the slider at the top?
Any explaination or tips of our I can over come these issues would be much appreciated.

A friend once said, "Dating is like a box of cereal; you've got to sort through the flakes if you want to find a prize." I thought that was fairly apt.
Optional: Below is something I wrote as a goof once, and liked enough to include here. If reading it amuses you as much as writing it amused me, we may get along.
Dear Potential Online Match,
Okay...here's where we decide what would be the most interesting, thought provoking, and alluring thing to say to express our own initial interest, and possibly entice the other person's. And we hope that what we say comes across in a personable, intelligent, confident, humorous, and, by the grace of god, attractive way, without sounding typical, unimaginative, or self-centered, when describing the things that we think are fascinating and important enough about ourselves that someone else would want to know them.
So, what do you need to know about me? Well, I have no ambition and no talents to speak of. I never go to the gym, and am WOEFULLY out of shape! I breathe heavily, like a pug-dog in heat, whenever I have to lift myself off the couch in effort to retrieve another tub of mint choco-peanut butter ice cream.
But, thankfully, I have terrific fashion sense; stained undershirts and torn boxer shorts grace my gnarly form, as well as my apartment floor, which is what I use for a closet, since my actual closet is filled to the brim with X-Files paraphernalia (Mulder is GOD), old Michael Jackson mix tapes, and even older Nintendo and ColecoVision parts.
Let's see...what else, what else, what else...oh, YEAH! I'm a LOUSY LAY. Terrible lay. I never give a single thought to "her pleasure". I'm really a selfish lover. It's all about ME, ME, ME. But, on the bright side, I can go for a full minute and a half, wheezing like St. Bernard with a collapsed lung all the while, before falling asleep.
Oh, and I'm hung like a kitten on a cold day.
So. If you are enticed by what I've typed here, then I hope you'll respond and tell me something SEXY about yourself. Meanwhile, I'm off to not shower, not brush my teeth, and waste as much time as humanly possible.
Stay out of prison!
Your Potential Match,
- D. "please call in 'Mulder' in bed" P.
p.s. In your response, please say something encouraging. My mother really wants this to work.
Though I've had monogamous relationships in the past, I'm very at home with polyamory, and most of the women I've dated over the past few years have been either poly-single or in open relationships. So if you'd potentially like to date me, that's something you need to be comfortable with. And if ethical non-monogamy is a turn-off for you, or you're on OKC searching for a husband for a conventional marriage, I may not be the fella for ya.
That said, I seek to make meaningful connections with intelligent, empathetic, facetious, self-aware women, and exploring those connections wherever they may take us.
I'm a filmmaker, musician, and vocal instructor. I'm just wrapping up final post for a feature-length drama that I wrote, produced, and directed. It's my baby, so I'm pretty excited about it.
In addition, I'm currently expanding my voice training studio in Brooklyn and building a combined video/recording studio. Upon completion, I'll be shooting a comprehensive video series on voice training and performance, which I'm planning to release later this year.
I'm lucky; I love what I do, and I get to feel like what I contribute makes a worthwhile difference in people's lives. On the side, I'm working on an album of original music, which I plan to start recording this fall.
I also produce and narrate audiobooks for the blind with a non-profit in my spare time. It's an awesome organization...they've been doing great work in the same location since 1931. Over 80 years! I think that's pretty bad-ass.
Great food and real beer
Film, music, books, other art in its many forms
My guitar
Conversations that start when it's light and end after it's grown dark (or vice versa)
"To borrow from the cliché, there are many "us"-es...fragments that make up who we are as a whole; bits and pieces that resemble a complete person when looked at only from a certain angle. We sometimes tend to pass different fragments off to different people as the whole "us" -- and most of those people cooperate beautifully by only looking at us from that precise angle that makes the two dimensional representation look like a whole self. It's a wonderful symbiotic cooperative of half truths, an unspoken and unacknowledged rule of conduct between those who pretend to see, and we who pretend to be seen."
If you'd like to hear something more private that that, you'll have to work for it. Or, just ask. ;)
are welcomed and encouraged.
...you possess a sense of adventure. Whether that means traveling, learning a new language, trying a new cuisine, jumping out of an airplane, or just wandering around new parts of the City, and getting lost on purpose...preferably punctuated with stolen kisses on street corners.
...you possess a love for great conversation and debate; you're someone who can sit around for ages, discussing all topics, from the significant to the mundane. I'm a big fan of smart people who can disagree with me.

Hi everyone. Nice meeting you on Wattpad.
I am finishing up on my first ever story, Chocolate Umbrella. It's about a married couple how they weathered the rain and storm in their marriage. I think it's a very interesting story and sure hope that you will enjoy it.
I am a Romance junkie. I particularly love those stories in which the male characters are very very in love with the female, but yet need to go through a journey to figure out their feelings. You know, men are a bit thick, sometimes :D
So if you think you have written a good romance story, or come across one on our site, let me know, I will try my best to carve time for the good ones. I usually will read the ones that are recommended to me first by other users (not the writers themselves), but still I will read if you recommend yourselves. You just need to be patient with me. Too much to read here, you know ;D
Hope you all will have fun in Wattpad.

- I recently got an order of socks from these people, 10 packages worth almost $60. The socks arrived with many problems -- uneven stitching, holes from being stuck together with plastic cord jabbed through them, loops of thread sticking out, pillfuzz already on them, etc.
- As it turns out, you can return these items for up to 90 days after receiving them. However, the company charges you $7 for the return label, unlike Amazon's free returns, for example.
- This charge is inflicted on you even when the problem is 100% their fault -- even if the items arrive damaged, defective, or, as in my case, showing very poor quality workmanship. Buyer beware!
- What kind of company charges you for their mistakes? Especially since if the item is worth less than $7, they will charge your credit card for the difference, so you have to pay them to take back defective or damaged items!

A first-half Steven MacLean strike and a second-half Ryan McGivern own goal sealed the win Saints needed to end Hibs' own top-six ambitions.
Butcher's day went from bad to worse when McGivern's own goal shortly after the interval was quickly followed by a red card for striker Danny Haynes for an apparent stamp on Wotherspoon.
Butcher said: "We changed the system round and for the first half I thought it worked very well. St Johnstone changed their system round to match ours, which is an indication that we were doing well.
"But from their first attack they scored and we couldn't then respond in the right way and Sean has had to make another good save.
"But we've done well up until the box, again, and we've been powder puff in front of goal, again. I don't think Alan Mannus has had a save to make apart from a Frazer Wright header.
"I said at half-time 'let's go out and give 45 minutes of real effort' but we didn't start the second half particularly well, for whatever reason, and we conceded a very sloppy goal.
"Then the sending-off happened and it was game over really.
"I've got no complaints about the red card. I've seen it a few times now and I don't know why he did that.
"Steven MacLean's had an easy decision to make. When you're 2-0 down and down to 10 men against a side that has got confidence and knows a top-six place is there for them, they're obviously going to see the game out.
"It wasn't a happy second half at all."

Julia Gillard demands inquiry into 'very cruel' sheep cull in Pakistan
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- November 07, 2012
PRIME Minister Julia Gillard has demanded a new investigation into the culling of Australian sheep in Karachi, during a meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Pervez Ashraf.
But she has stopped short of endorsing animal rights activists' calls for an end to the live export trade, saying the industry was already acting on the shocking slaughter footage.
Her intervention came as outrage over the culling of thousands of Australian sheep in Pakistan sparked division in the federal government, with Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig at loggerheads with his backbench.
Labor MP Kelvin Thomson yesterday rejected Senator Ludwig's claims the slaughter was "isolated" and slammed the system set up following last year's Indonesian cattle controversy.
The industry has voluntarily suspended exports to Pakistan and Bahrain pending a government investigation into new footage showing 21,000 sheep being killed, including some being buried alive. Pakistani officials said it was necessary because of health concerns but Australia rejected the claims.
After meeting Mr Ashraf in Laos, Ms Gillard said she was concerned by the "graphic and very cruel images".
"I explained to him that Australians are distressed to see these acts of cruelty and that I want the matter investigated," she said. "He responded that he would investigate."
The opposition attacked Labor's "knee-jerk" halt to the live cattle trade to Indonesia, saying it threatened the livelihood of Australian farmers and harmed relations with Jakarta.

text: I'm in the process of creating a site that is basically divided into three separate sections or sub-sites for Service A, Service B and Service C. There is also a simple landing page with links to each of the three sections. Each section uses a custom page template with a custom header.php file that calls a custom nav menu for that section. It might be a clunky solution, but it works. The problem is that I would like to have some content that is common to all 3 sections, but these common pages and/or posts need to be associated with the correct nav menu when they are called to different sections of the site. Any ideas?

Through two recent judgments The Chief Election Commissioner vs Jan Chowkidar (2013) and Lily Thomas vs Union of India (2013) the Supreme Court has taken great strides in cleansing politics of its criminal elements. Unsurprisingly, at an all-party meeting held in their aftermath, political parties have been severely critical of these judgments. Several aspects are problematic in law and require proper legal review. However, to focus solely on their legal niceties, as several politicians and critics of the court have done, ignoring the popular impatience with the nexus between crime and politics, would be a case of missing the wood for the trees.
In Jan Chowkidar, a two-judge bench of the SC held that since any person confined in prison or in lawful custody of the police is not entitled to vote under Section 62 of The Representation of the People Act (RPA), 1951, the incarcerated person shall also not be entitled to contest elections to Parliament or state legislatures. In law, this decision is clearly erroneous. To contest elections, one only needs to be an "elector" a person who is entitled to registration on the electoral roll. Registration on the electoral roll is a distinct issue from being entitled to actually vote on election day, which is the only entitlement taken away for prisoners. While the SC's eagerness to bar those in prison from contesting elections is understandable, such a bar cannot be achieved through an indefensible legal interpretation. Further, such an interpretation provides a perverse incentive for temporarily incarcerating and consequently disqualifying honest candidates.
On the contrary, in Lily Thomas, the same bench of the SC correctly held that Section 8(4) of the RPA, which allows MPs and MLAs who are convicted while serving as members to continue in office till an appeal against such conviction is disposed of, is unconstitutional. Two justifications were offered first, Parliament does not have the competence to provide different grounds for disqualification of applicants for membership and sitting members; second, deferring the date from which disqualification commences is unconstitutional in light of Articles 101(3) and 190(3) of our Constitution, which mandate that the seat of a member will become vacant automatically on disqualification.
Legal propriety might have demanded that if the court were to rest its decision on the first justification, it ought to have referred the matter to a larger bench. This is because in K Prabhakaran vs P Jayarajan (2005), a Constitution bench of the SC upheld the distinction between disqualifications of existing members and new applicants for membership on the ground that benefits for the former were necessary to protect the sanctity of the House, especially if it was operating on a "razor-edge-thin majority". In any event, its second justification, that Parliament does not have the power to defer the date of commencement of disqualification, was not an issue that was raised in Prabhakaran and provides a valid standalone ground for holding the section unconstitutional.
Both judgments hold important lessons for political parties, courts and the people of India. For political parties, the judgments are symptomatic of the growing disaffection with the political class among the citizenry. Currently, 30 per cent of sitting Lok Sabha MPs and 31 per cent of sitting MLAs have criminal cases against them. While this disaffection has not yet translated into a comprehensive defeat of corrupt candidates, the judgments mark the beginnings of a key alliance between the courts, a conscientious media and an active citizenry. The political class could demonstrate sterling statesmanship and join this alliance, rather than continue as its bête noire.
In this light, for political parties to react by criticising judicial overreach and underlining the supremacy of Parliament is injudicious. Such a view is based on the foundational fallacy that Parliament is supreme. Parliament is a creature of the Constitution, which as interpreted by courts is the foundation of our political system. Constitutionalism demands that in interpreting legal provisions that relate to the interests of MPs, courts must perform strict scrutiny. While errors made by courts must be criticised, to brand such judicial vigilance as overreach is baseless.
For the higher judiciary, the judgments and consequent reactions to them demonstrate the centrality of its role in the drive to rid politics of criminal elements. Courts must perform this role cautiously, avoiding basic interpretive errors of the sort committed in Jan Chowkidar. At the same time, it must realise that the most significant systemic reform that will serve this purpose is ensuring quicker trials of the accused. It is instructive to note that of the 162 sitting Lok Sabha MPs with pending criminal cases, trials against 161 are yet to be completed. It is imperative that discussions on effective justice delivery be made central in the drive to cleanse politics, something that courts, in exercise of their administrative powers, are well-placed to do.
Finally, for the people of India, the Lily Thomas judgment must become the springboard for a wide-ranging campaign to rid Parliament of its criminal elements. For the fountainhead of the world's largest democracy to also serve as the world's most prominent haven for criminals is simply unacceptable. For Indians in the 21st century, the quest for a clean, criminal-free Parliament is akin to our freedom struggle. The SC has shown its willingness to lead this struggle. It is now up to the people to follow this lead and ensure India has the Parliament we feel it deserves.

Shed or Gazebo Permit
Sheds or gazebos are defined as accessory buildings under the Zoning Bylaw. This bylaw controls the size and location of all accessory buildings.
About the Service
With the exception of the primary residence, any stand-alone building that has an area over 10 square metres (107.64 sq feet) OR is over 4.3 metres (14.1 feet) in height is considered to be an accessory structure that requires both a development and building permit.
Some examples of accessory structures under the Zoning Bylaw would include: stand-alone sheds, gazebos, greenhouses (for personal use only) and pergolas.
A detached garage or carport is also considered an accessory structure, however, special requirements exist for those types of buildings. See detached garages for more information.
If the accessory structure requires mechanical work, please see gas, HVAC, plumbing, electrical or sewer and water permits for more information.
Permit Exemption
While most accessory structures require both a development and building permit, some may not not need either. An accessory structure is exempt if it meets the following conditions:
- It is less than 10 square metres (107.64 square feet) in area.
- It is shorter than 4.3 metres (14.1 feet) in height.
- It complies with all the zoning regulations applicable to the property.
- It is free-standing, not touching the house, detached garage or any other structure.
- It does not have any electrical, gas, or plumbing elements.
- It is not constructed in the side yards beside the house or garage.
If your structure does not meet these requirements, a development permit and a building permit may be required.
Zoning Regulations
The standards in the zoning regulations for a shed or gazebo outlines how tall an accessory structure can be, where it can be built and the amount of area it can cover.
Location regulations
All accessory buildings need to be located at least 0.9 m (3 ft) from a side lot line, 0.6 m (2 ft) from a rear lot line and 0.9 m (3 ft) from the house.
The eave overhang can project up to 0.45 m into a side yard of 1.2m or less.
In most zones, accessory buildings (including sheds, garages, and gazebos) can cover up to 12% of your lot area.
Other Zoning Regulations
Residential properties can be zoned differently and may be affected by an overlay schedule. To verify the zoning of a property, visit our office or do an address search on the Edmonton Maps website.
Building Design
The Alberta Building Code regulates the construction and safety of the structure. For any related inquiries, contact our office and speak with a Safety Codes Officer.

They have an "A+" rating with the BBB since they PAY THE BBB money and yet still rip off people.
DO NOT, I REPEAT ... DO NOT EVER LET THESE BLOOD SUCKERS GET A DIME OF YOUR MONEY. No matter how honest you are, or how well you pay them, according to them, if they want they can and will keep raising your rates to get as much money as they can out of you.

Bad value does not equal ripoff.

That's a crazy amount to pay, but it appears to be what you agreed to pay for this card. You appear to be ripping yourself off.
". Now they raised my rate to 21% "
When you got this card, you also agreed that they could raise your rate at some point. While they might have guaranteed you 9.9% for a particular period of time, they didn't guarantee you'd have that rate forever. They're allowed to reevaluate their risk profiles and change rates. If you do not agree with the new rate you can close the account and get one somewhere else that has better terms. Where's the ripoff?
I'm not sure where you've been for the last few years, but you're now seeing the result of recent legislation that was touted as helping you, the consumer. In the future, credit and banking will cost everyone more because of these "helpful" regulatory changes. That's what happens when politicians try to "help" you. Be sure to thank them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

TELEVISION/RADIO; Not Even Trying to Appeal to the Masses
By ANDY MEISLER
Published: October 4, 1998
LOS ANGELES— THREE years ago, a successful comedy writer named Dan O'Shannon (''Newhart,'' ''Cheers,'' ''It's a Living'') sat down to write the pilot of a new sitcom. His central character, Maggie Day, was a 40-year-old woman going through a midlife crisis. He sprinkled laughs on every page as Maggie coped with an inattentive husband, a couple of self-centered teen-agers and an unrequited crush on her boss, the local veterinarian.
Mr. O'Shannon thought he'd written a network sitcom. The major broadcast networks thought otherwise. One programming executive told him to make Maggie 10 years younger and unmarried. Another told him, ''The demographic is all wrong'' and that because his lead character contemplated adultery, ''no one'' would like her. Exit Mr. O'Shannon, to a two-year writing and producing stint on NBC's ''Suddenly Susan,'' a sitcom about, you guessed it, a 20-something single woman.
But enter, in August 1998, Lifetime Television for Women, a basic cable channel known hitherto mainly for documentaries and reruns of women-in-crisis television movies. The channel made ''Maggie'' one of three new women-oriented series on its Tuesday night lineup. So now Mr. O'Shannon, 36, has a 13-episode order, a new office on the Paramount Studios lot, a stripped-down three-person writing staff, a good measure of creative freedom and the certainty that no matter how well his series does, it will be absolutely unknown to the great bulk of the American viewing public.
On an average night, Lifetime gets a 1.7 rating and is watched in 1.5 million households, approximately one-sixth the number tuned into the average fairly successful broadcast network series.
''If we were to get a 3 rating,'' says Mr. O'Shannon, wryly, ''Lifetime would treat me like a god.''
What Mr. O'Shannon has created, it seems, is a new and rather stealthy weapon in the current broadcast-cable power struggle. Let's call ''Maggie'' and other cable comedies like it ''nichecoms'' -- series that are outwardly sisters to the mass-appeal shows on NBC, ABC and CBS but are actually cleverly targeted arrows to the heart of narrowly focused audiences. Along with their close relation, the niche drama, these shows make up an increasing percentage of cable programming.
This may come as a shock to those who have believed that weekly comedy and drama series -- the foundation of broadcast programming for 50 years -- will be yesterday's format when and if the long-awaited television revolution arrives.
''The most widely watched thing on our network is 'Stargate SG-1'; it outperforms every theatrical movie on our air,'' says Jerry Offsay, president for programming of Showtime Networks, referring to a second-season drama that receives almost no media mention outside hard-core science fiction circles.
Showtime also recently added ''Linc's,'' an African-American-oriented comedy of the kind that no longer appears on the major networks, and ''Rude Awakenings,'' an ''adult'' comedy about a recovering alcoholic.
Showtime's main premium-cable rival, HBO, has ''Oz,'' a weekly men-in-prison drama conceived and run by Tom Fontana, the co-creator of ''Homicide''; ''Sex and the City,'' a comedy exploring the ''dating and mating habits'' of single New Yorkers by Darren Star (''Melrose Place''), and ''Arliss,'' a comedy about a rapacious sports agent.
''Maggie's'' Tuesday night companions on Lifetime are ''Oh Baby,'' a comedy about a single woman who opts for artificial insemination, and ''Any Day Now,'' a drama about an interracial friendship in the Deep South. The USA Network, amid its aggressive slate of original series, runs adventure dramas like ''The Net'' and ''La Femme Nikita,'' series almost indistinguishable from broadcast competitors. Even American Movie Classics, primarily a cable outlet for vintage films, has for four years been producing ''Remember WENN,'' a comedy set in a dysfunctional radio station in the 1940's. And most of these cable channels are actively developing additional series.
In fact, as far as weekly cable series are concerned, only one question really remains: will these venerable formats be reinvented and reinvigorated or simply spread, like pop-cultural kudzu, to higher and higher channel numbers?
The cable series' creators, most of whom got their start working on network series, tend to emphasize their liberation from the strictures of broadcast television-like censorship, the rigidity of the commercial format, and the tyranny of ratings and demographics.
''I just feel I have the opportunity to write my show with a focus and a viewpoint, without trying to appeal to everyone in the world,'' says Susan Beavers, the creator of ''Oh Baby.''
Mr. Fontana of ''Oz'' agrees that cable offers more creative freedom. ''When you don't have to bring people back from a commercial, you don't have to manufacture an 'out,' '' he explains. ''You can make your episode at a length and with a rhythm that's true to the story you want to tell.'' (Of course that's true only on premium cable channels.)
On cable series, unlike network shows, ''the emphasis is on quality and originality,'' says Mr. Star of ''Sex and the City.'' Some broadcast executives might not agree.
Sometimes cable-series producers go so far as to deny the connections with their broadcast counterparts.

As Toronto commuters grapple with major construction projects on the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard, as well as the start of the summer road work season, a new report shows traffic congestion is making the city less appealing to live in.A new report has knocked Toronto down one spot in the global rankings of the best places to live and work and it is mostly due to the city's problems with gridlock.Toronto is still 4th in the annual 'City of Opportunities' study from consulting firm Price Waterhouse Coopers.Toronto ranks behind London, New York, and Singapore; down from third spot in last year's report.
The report also suggests a lack of downtown access to Pearson Airport as a factor that brings Toronto down -- although a rail link from Union Station to Pearson is expected to open next summer.Toronto also got low marks for what's called 'overall technology readiness,' defined as internet access in schools, software development, and digital economy.
The report says that is negatively affecting the city's growth and ability to attract foreign investment and business.

Olukai Nohea Mesh Dark Shadow/Dark Shadow Men's Shoe
Features include:
Great shoe, husband hasn't taken them off. A nice looking shoe with the convenience of a slip on plus they're very breathable. He's happy in them. Only bummer is they run a little big so order a half size down if you're planning to wear without socks
Actually saw these in Hawaii on a recent trip. The store in Hawaii did not carry half sizes so we found these on line at Footwear. Although the reviews said to take a 1/2 size smaller, I needed my regular size in these. They're comfortable and are a good addition to my summer shoe collection. Recommend!
I needed a pair of lightweight slip on shoes and took a chance on these. I have two pairs of Olukai sandals and I wear them whenever possible. I was happy to find the shoes equally as comfortable. These are easy to slip on and are very light to wear. My favorite feature of the Olukais is their cushioning. I normally wear a 12 and had to go down to 11 in these. They do run big.

Harriet Hastings comes up with some edible treats
If you fancy a change from donuts this Chanucah, Harriet Hastings has the perfect treat.
Her company, Biscuiteers, have come up with a new line of Chanucah-themed biccies.
Ms Hastings, 45, founded the company three years ago. She tells People: "This is the first time we have done a Chanucah range. It seemed like a good fit for us. Chanucah is about exchanging gifts and that fits in well with what Biscuiteers is all about. "We would love to do more Jewish ranges. This is a first step for us so we will see how well they are received."
Ms Hastings left a career in marketing and PR to set up Biscuiteers, which has a factory in Kennington, South London. The company produces around 11,000 biscuits a week. The Chanucah collection includes dreidles, menorahs, havdalah candles and Stars of David - all edible of course.
The mother-of-four says: "The cupcake culture is very well-established but the good thing about biscuits is that you can do a lot more with them thematically."
Biscuiteers supplies its goodies to top-end department stores Harrods, Selfridges and Liberty of London. It also does a lot of bespoke and corporate work. Clients have included Gucci, French Connection, Yahoo and L'Oreal.
The biscuits, which are vegetarian, cost £38.50 for a tin of 16. Happy Chunucah!

A living history: Reeves collection tells story of Native American art, cultureNovember 12th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
By his mid-20s, Keith Reeves had traveled the world. When he settled in Florida in the 1960s, however, it was in many ways an alien place: No ancient monuments like the pyramids he climbed in Egypt or mountains like those on South Pacific islands where he lived as a "Navy brat," but a wet-hot, often harsh, environment, devastated every so often by hurricane force winds howling through palms trees and toppling condos. While adjusting to this ominous landscape, Reeves decided to explore what he calls the "subtleties of Florida," namely its indigenous people, as catharsis.
"He complained about the flat landscape and he complained about the Florida vegetation," said Sara Reeves, Keith's wife, who first encouraged him to (more…)
Study reveals 180 million years of parasitic infestation in crustaceansOctober 8th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
When Darwin suggested the "survival of the fittest" concept, he did not necessarily mean "survival of the biggest."
The large marine animals of the past, like prehistoric mega-sharks and whales, draw popular attention and the interest of researchers alike. However, the smaller invertebrate animals dominated Earth in the past and still do today.
Florida Museum of Natural History postdoctoral researcher Adiel Klompmaker's passion lies in studying the small creatures of the deep. It was while collecting specimens of crustaceans at a fossil reef in northern Spain that he noticed a strange swelling on a fossilized crab.
"What is this? Was it sick? Is this a disease of some kind?" wondered Klompmaker. "I had never observed these swellings in the field."
The culprit was a parasitic isopod crustacean no more than 16 millimeters in size.
The parasitic isopod causes a swelling (Kanthyloma crusta) so noticeable that it survives in the fossil record, though the traces of these "passengers" have not been thoroughly explored until now, Klompmaker said. The isopod parasites latch onto the inner shell of a crustacean, feeding on it and (more…)
Museum researchers advance 'DNA revolution,' tell butterflies' evolutionary historySeptember 11th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
The wispy, delicate nature of butterflies and moths is part of their charm, but their soft bodies do not preserve well in the fossil record, posing a problem for scientists since the early history of Lepidoptera research. Now, by tracing nearly 3,000 genes to the earliest common ancestor of butterflies and moths, Florida Museum of Natural History scientists have created an extensive "Tree of Lepidoptera" in the first study to use large-scale, next-generation DNA sequencing.
Among the study's more surprising findings: Butterflies are more closely related to small moths than to large ones, which completely changes scientists' understanding of how butterflies evolved. The study also found that some insects once classified as moths are actually butterflies, increasing the number of butterfly species.
"This project advances biodiversity research by providing an evolutionary foundation for a very diverse group of insects, with nearly 160,000 described species," said Akito Kawahara, lead author and (more…)
9,700 acres tell stories of Florida's past, give hope for the futureAugust 14th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
It was home to Native Americans as early as 12,000 B.C., then settlers during the Civil War. Its pine trees contributed to the early 20th century turpentine industry, and for millennia its plants and wildlife have been fueled by an unlikely life source—forest fires.
The 9,700-acre Ordway-Swisher Biological Station, located in Putnam County, Fla., and managed by the University of Florida and its Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences since 1983, is a snapshot of what once was. As the bubbling springs and lush forests noted by naturalist William Bartram in the 19th century have dwindled, so have the wetlands and uplands that include sand hills, swamps, marshes, hammocks and lakes that characterized central Florida.
Four Florida Museum of Natural History botanists, including senior biological scientist Mark Whitten, are drawn to what remains of this chaotic environment. Funded by IFAS, they have been working for the past year to document every plant in the Ordway as part of a larger project to document every plant statewide.
"Florida's habitats and species distributions are changing as the climate changes, and (more…)
Scientists rewrite evolutionary history of tiny sea cucumbersJuly 14th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
Scientists at the Florida Museum of Natural History have discovered that a group of tiny sea cucumbers has enormous taxonomic problems.
The use of DNA analyses in taxonomic research has increased in recent years, making it possible for scientists to better understand poorly known species and build knowledge of Earth's more obscure biodiversity. This type of work is exemplified by the research of François Michonneau, a former invertebrate zoology Ph.D. student with the Florida Museum, who studies the oceans' most diverse order of sea cucumbers, Dendrochirotida, which includes many small species—most only a few centimeters in length. Studying Phyrella, a genus of Dendrochirotida, Michonneau found that several species of sea cucumbers may be assigned inaccurately within the order.
"The systematics of sea cucumbers is messy and full of inaccuracies," Michonneau said. "Our revision is just touching the tip of the iceberg as far as cleaning up the confused state of taxonomy in the order Dendrochirotida. The purpose of our study is to identify the appropriate traits to classify sea cucumbers at the genus and (more…)
Bird calls on demand: Digitized collection now available onlineJune 13th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
While standing next to a shelf filled with thousands of aging reel-to-reel and other tape recordings of bird sounds collected over the past 40 years, Florida Museum of Natural History ornithologist Tom Webber inspected an especially fragile reel from the 1960s.
"Eventually, even the magnetic plastic tapes will break down," Webber said. "They're stored under optimal conditions. But the older ones," he said as he paused, running his hand across a stack of worn, discolored tapes, "We're already having that happen to some of them."
In an effort to preserve the second-largest collection of bird sounds in terms of species in the Western Hemisphere, scientists acquired a $446,000 National Science Foundation grant in 2009 to digitize the Florida Museum's analog bird-sound field recordings, which represent more than 3,000 species. From the extinct Dusky Seaside Sparrow to vocal Florida Scrub-Jays, the complete online collection will (more…)
Discovery of over 100 new species fuels drive to document biodiversityMay 14th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
A saber-toothed cat that roamed the southeastern U.S. 5 million years ago, the world's oldest grape and a bizarre hermit crab were among more than 100 new species described by Florida Museum of Natural History researchers last year. Still, scientists say there are millions left to discover.
Driven in part by the urgency to document new species as natural habitats and fossil sites decline due to human influences, researchers from the Florida Museum described 16 new genera and 103 new species of plants and animals in 2013, with some research divisions anticipating higher numbers for 2014.
This new knowledge of species-level biodiversity provides a better foundation for conservation (more…)

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
So your meaning of petty is correct.For Mîm came of Dwarves that were banished in ancient days from the great Dwarf-cities of the east, and long before the return of Morgoth they wandered westward into Beleriand; but they became diminished in stature and in smith-craft, and they took to lives of stealth, walking with bowed shoulders and furtive steps. Before the Dwarves of Nogrod and Belegost came west over the mountains the Elves of Beleriand knew not what these others were, and they hunted them, and slew them; but afterwards they let them alone, and they were called Noegyth Nibin, the Petty-Dwarves, in the Sindarin tongue.
:read:They loved none but themselves, and if they feared and hated the Orcs, they hated the Eldar no less, and the Exiles most of all; for the Noldor, they said, had stolen their lands and their homes. Long ere King Finrod Felagund came over the Sea, the caves of Nargothrond were discovered by them, and by them its delving was begun; ... the slow hands of the Petty-Dwarves had bored and deepened the caves through the long years that they dwelt there, untroubled by the Grey-elves of the woods. But now at last they had dwindled and died out of Middle-earth, all save Mîm and his two sons; and Mîm was old even in the reckoning of Dwarves, old and forgotten. And in his halls the smithies were idle, and the axes rusted, and their name was remembered only in ancient tales of Doriath and Nargothrond.
I really thought Mim was great! I felt very sad when hearing about his history. Could never understand though why the Noldor would have hunted his people "as animals" as they were quite obviously humanoid in appearance and seemingly against Elven nature. But you can fully understand his (Mims) bitterness towards practically anyone, as practically everyone had *uc*ed him and his people in the past. I mean it was a miracle that he liked Turin as he was indirectly responsible for his sons death.
I liked Mim too. I fell sorry for him, since he and his fellow Dwarves probably suffered a lot, and not only from those 'obviously evil' races like Orcs. Yes, he had his dark side - he betrayed Turin and his company, but they harmed him and he couldn't forget what they have done to his son. He was also a prisoner in his own house so I can see why he was so bitter. It is really frustrating that Turin's fate led to so many unnecessary evil. In my eyes Mim is just another victim of the tragedy of Turin.

I'm using the_excerpt() inside my loop on index.php
On posts without a defined excerpt, it should return the first 55 words of the content, and sometimes it does, but other times it will return as many as 68 words. I tried setting the limit to 20 words. This made the excerpts shorter but still not exactly 20 words, they range from 18-30.
is this a known bug in wordpress? is there a known way to get it to properly count words? I don't want to write a custom excerpt for every post I make, but I do want the lengths to be more consistent.
