Whether to cut down most of the trees in the Interstate 26 median between Summerville and Interstate 95 could be decided Monday morning.
Interstate 26 trees vote
11 a.m. Monday
BCD Council of Governments
Barrett Lawrimore Conference Room
1362 McMillan Avenue - Suite 100
North Charleston
The issue is on the agenda for an 11 a.m. meeting of the Berkeley, Charleston, Dorchester Council of Governments board in North Charleston, according to the agency website.
The board has the final say in whether the controversial $5 million federally-funded project will proceed. Opponents fear it will mar the landscape and create a less favorable impression of a highway considered a gateway to the Lowcountry.
Supporters of the state Department of Transportation project say the work is needed to make a dangerous section of I-26 safer.
About 32,500 vehicles travel the affected stretch of I-26 daily. Between 2007 and 2011, 44 people were killed and 709 were injured in 1,934 crashes there.
Half the wrecks involved cars running off the road. Fatalities happened at a rate three-to-four times higher in the median, officials said.
When the trees are cut down, the zone where drivers can recover from running off the road will grow from 25 feet wide to 46 feet wide on both sides of the interstate median, the DOT said.
The plan is to cut down trees in the median for 23 miles of the 30-mile stretch of interstate. Seven miles of median with wetlands and trees would not be affected, the DOT said.
In the cleared areas of interstate, cable guardrail will be placed down the middle of the median. In the wetlands areas where trees will stay, guardrail will be placed on both sides of the median, officials said.
The seven miles of wetland areas in the median where trees will remain are scattered along the length of the project.
The DOT said that it would like to be able to move forward with the 18-month project this year.

Butternut Squash Chowder
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 2 hrs 5 mins
This is an easy to prepare thick and rich squash soup that can be shared with family and friends on chilly evenings or just about any time of year. If you like squash soup, you will love this thick and hearty version. This recipe is from Williams & Sonoma with direction to use their 32 oz. jar of Butternut Squash Puree. But you can make your own squash puree for this recipe or use frozen squash puree. Puree directions below. The prep time below includes the time for making the puree. Enjoy.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 celery ribs, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage leaf, chopped
- fresh sage leaf (to garnish)
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1⁄4 cup white wine
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 32 ounces butternut squash puree
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring frequently, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan and return the pan to medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bay leaf, chopped sage, the 4 teaspoons salt and the 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, just until the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in the potatoes, cover and cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes.
- Add the wine and simmer, stirring to scrape up the browned bits, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
- Add the butternut squash puree and bacon and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf and discard.
- Ladle the chowder into warmed bowls and garnish with sage leaves. Serve immediately.
- Making Squash Puree:.
- 2 butternut squash (about 3 3/4 pounds).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut each squash in half and discard the seeds. Bursh cut sides with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Arrange the squash cut side down on a rack placed in a baking tray and bake until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Cool, scoop out the insides of the squash, and puree the flesh in a food processor. You should have about 4 cups or 32 ounces of pureed squash. Tip: You can freeze your squash puree to have on hand for other soups and recipes.

I really enjoyed this soup. I did not have fresh sage so I used 3/4 teaspoon Penseys Albanian Rubbed Sage , Penzeys Chicken Soup Base/Seasoning for the broth and fat free half and half when I made mine. An Immersion Blender was used to make the soup a smooth and creamy. I'll make this one again, so thanks for posting. Made for a game in Diabetic Forum *Soup is On 2010*
This is a fantastic soup! I made it for ZWT5's trip to Australia but you can count on this for a wonderful addition to any meal. I bought a fresh squash and baked it, split in half, in about 1/2" of water for an hour (no fat method). I also used evaporated 2% milk instead of the heavy cream. It is fantastic!

Watch A Red Bull Formula One Car Take Over New York And New Jersey
The other week, the Red Bull F1 team was in the New York area to do a little promotional tour for next year's Grand Prix of America in New Jersey.
The other week, the Red Bull F1 team was in the New York area to do a little promotional tour for next year's Grand Prix of America in New Jersey.
Red Bull is in New Jersey, blitzing around the upcoming F1 course in Weehawken and playing the national anthem. They also sent ex-F1 driver David Coulthard through the Lincoln Tunnel in an old F1 car. He hit a barely-believable 190 miles per hour.
Anyone who's ever been to a sporting event knows how easy it is for someone to completely butcher our national anthem. But Red Bull Racing's F1 car does pretty much the exact opposite of that.
Skydiver Felix Baumgartner just accomplished a feat that adds to Red Bull's ever growing arsenal of extreme sports accomplishments.
Italian channel Italia 1 is claiming that Vettel has signed a three-year deal with Ferrari from 2014. There are always rumors going around in Formula One. Does this one hold any water?
Unlike most 24-year-old men, Sebastian Vettel will spend this weekend driving a Formula One car as the sports's youngest back-to-back drivers' champion, in an excellent place to make it three in a row. Like everyone with titanic achievements, he didn't do it by himself. A major contributor to his success was a strange…
The coolest car at Renault's booth at the Geneva Motor Show was the Red Bull RB7, the Renault-powered Formula One car which won the 2011 championship in the hands of Sebastian Vettel. Unlike the old or partially complete F1 cars displayed at many carmakers' booths, this was the real deal, as evidenced by this…
Red Bull teamed up with gaming rig maker Playseat to make their own Red Bull Racing F1 rig. You can buy it now — as long as you're willing to drop $1,500. You do know that you can buy a real, functional car for that kind of money, don't you?
When Air Force pilot Joe Kittinger jumped out of a ballon gondola from 102,800 feet in August 1960, he set four aerospace records which stand to this day. Red Bull and a mad Austrian skydiver are about to break them. And Kittinger is on board.
The international racing community got its last look at the front end of Red Bull's new F1 car, the RB8, unveiled on video today. It's expected to be showing the rest of the field its exhausts for the rest of the season.
Just how is it that a single driver with less than five years in Formula One was able to dominate the field in such a devastating way in 2011, a field which includes drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso? It's his brains.
Here's the points chart for the recently concluded Formula One season, total points plotted against Grands Prix. If you'll ignore the uncanny performance of a certain blond German kid, it was a pretty close fight…for second place.
Zombie season's over! As always at Interlagos, it was an entertaining Grand Prix, with some rather surprising results. Behind the Red Bulls, that is. Warning: spoilers.
Racing drivers don't die anymore, right? Wrong. They do. Hours after a wonderful second Grand Prix in the southwestern archipelago of South Korea, Dan Wheldon died in an IndyCar. Warning: spoilers.
Welcome to the Suzuka edition of our financial advice column. Today is a wonderful day for all of those who've taken our recent tips. But before you blow all that newly minted money, here's some Formula One. Warning: spoilers.
It's time to say goodbye to the European season of Formula One at Monza, the track where racing looks like racing footage on stimulants. It was everyone's last chance to stop the Red Bulls. But tell that to Sebastian Vettel, not about to be stopped. Warning: spoilers.
WHOOO! YEAH! Gooooood morning America! Hey, why the sad faces? You look like you're not getting your recommended daily allowance of pure awesome. Thank the volcanic aliens that Red Bull and Tom Cruise are here to top you off with America's greatest action hero doing laps in an old Red Bull F1 car on a closed circuit.…
Formula One's Sebastien Vettel is the youngest driver to ever win a world championship. He's a worldwide phenom and now he's just designed a crossover SUV for Infiniti. Wait, what?
The Texas hill country was alive with the sounds of a Formula One V10 this past weekend as racing superstar and F1 commentator David Coulthard shredded tires of the Red Bull F1 showcar on the streets of Austin. Jalopnik had a chance to talk to Coulthard and get his impressions of F1 in the United States and breakfast…
To whet Texans' appetite for open-cockpit cars that turn left and right, Red Bull put David Coulthard in its Formula 1 publicity chassis and turned him loose on the streets of Austin. This may technically qualify as "messing with Texas."

February 20, 2013
3M announced it has successfully completed the NGV2-2007 certification process for its first compressed natural gas (CNG) tank. The 21.5 x 60 inch tank is designed for light- and medium-duty pickup trucks and corporate fleet vehicles. 3M's tank capitalizes on improvements in geometries and proprietary 3M Matrix Resin, featuring nanosilica technology to deliver a solution that is lighter, offers greater capacity, and is more cost effective than similar tanks, according to the company.
"We are enthusiastic about the future of natural gas vehicles and are proud to introduce this tank to help companies take advantage of the benefits of natural gas as a transportation fuel," said Mike Roman, vice president of 3M's Industrial Adhesive and Tapes Division, home to 3M's advanced composites business. "With a tank that will help provide more range and more payload capacity at less expense, CNG vehicles are now an even more attractive alternative for fleet and individual retail customers alike."
The tank will be showcased March 6-8 at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. Initially, tanks will be available through five approved upfitters with whom 3M is collaborating. These companies include OEM Systems of Okarche, Okla.; Venchurs Vehicle Systems of Adrian, Mich.; Alternative Fuel Solutions of Mahaffey, Penn.; AVS of Salt Lake City, Utah; and World CNG of Kent, Wash.
The successful certification follows the 2012 announcement by 3M and Chesapeake Energy Corporation that the two would collaborate in designing, manufacturing and marketing a broad portfolio of CNG tanks for use in all sectors of the United States transportation market. 3M expects to announce certification of other geometries in the coming months. Chesapeake is slated to become one of the first end users of the new 21.5 x 60 inch tank, which it will incorporate in its fleet vehicles. Chesapeake is currently converting its fleet of nearly 5,000 vehicles to run on natural gas.
"The fuel tank has been the most expensive single component on a CNG vehicle, causing a bottleneck for the market," said Nathan Pumphrey, Chesapeake director – fleet operations. "3M's tank portfolio will lower the total cost of natural gas vehicle ownership and speed market adoption. We look forward to incorporating these tanks into our fleet vehicles to save money on our conversions; and with CNG available for as little as $0.99 per gasoline gallon equivalent in some markets, we'll cut our fueling costs, too."
In line with a broader commitment to CNG, 3M has also begun working with its transportation providers to utilize CNG on trucks carrying 3M products. 3M has already implemented a pilot program with Dart Transit Company on dedicated routes, and anticipates others will follow.

Looks like a good player.
Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
That OB split last year is just sick.
he has one heck of a swing
IMO the Cubs overpaid alittle bit, but in today's market that is to be expected. When you are the Cubs, money means very little.
The Cubs were a team that really needed a LHB with on base skills. That is what they got.
It's a good signing.
Hideki Matsui was a 50 homer guy in Japan and Shinjo was an all-star. It will be interesting to see how his power holds up.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Yea, Cubs are overpaying here -- but who haven't they overpaid for lately?
The Cubs, landing their biggest off-season target, have signed Japanese free-agent outfielder Kosuke Fukudome to a four-year contract, major-league sources confirmed to FOXSports.com.
The deal, first reported by WGN Radio in Chicago, is expected to be for approximately $12 million per season, sources said.
Fukudome, 30, gives the Cubs a left-handed hitter who will balance their heavily right-handed lineup. He is expected to be the team's everyday right fielder.
The Padres, Giants and White Sox were among the teams that bid for Fukudome. The Padres are now expected to turn their attention to re-signing free-agent center fielder Mike Cameron, who also is entertaining offers from other clubs. The Giants and White Sox are among the teams competing for free agent Aaron Rowand.
Fukudome had a .305 career batting average in Japan, averaging 29 homers between 2003 and '06. He appeared in only 81 games for the Chunichi Dragons last season due to a right-elbow injury that required surgery.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton

Diane Ribbon & Notion in its Final, Faded, 90-Percent-Off Days
"Diane took it really hard today," the clerk said, bagging up the purchases of the last customer of the day, yesterday afternoon, at Diane Ribbon & Notion, a craft supply warehouse favored by Phoenix artists and the latest casualty of what economists are struggling to name, but for these purposes we'll just call the Really Bad Economy.
Looking around the huge warehouse at 2319 W. Holly Street in Phoenix -- located inconveniently, sort of in between the fairgrounds and the I-17 -- it's easy to see why Diane Rust, the store's namesake, would feel sad.
Her place is a shell of its former fabulous self.
Diane Ribbon used to be packed floor to ceiling with shelves of beads, ribbons -- even a long row of boxes of doll parts. There was a whole section devoted to miniatures, box after box of bare straw hats waiting to be decorated. A lot of macrame materials.

It was easy to get lost inside. We once described it as Michael's on acid. Much of the merch was/is obviously circa 1970s, and the customers -- including downtown artists, notably Beatrice Moore, grand dame of Grand Avenue -- most definitely liked it that way.
We can't wait to see what the artist Suzanne Falk does with the flocked squirrels she was crowing about on Facebook last week. A warning, if you want some for yourself: That was before the prices hit this week's rock bottom.
Now through Saturday, all that's left at Diane (no possessive, Robrt L. Pela actually asked her about that once in an interview ) is 90 percent off. And it's a sad assortment that's been left behind for the real bargain hunters, just a couple sections of ribbon, some dried-up looking paint.
Unless you look hard. OK, not even that hard. We arrived just before closing (Diane's open 8:30 am to 4:30 pm -- sharp, weekdays). In five minutes, we managed to fill a big brown grocery bag to the rim with doll parts (including some scary witch hands); miniatures from teeny tiny paper towel rolls to a matchbox sized cuckoo clock (not functional); a "sad hobo" head; a plastic Santa face; and a whole lot of googly eyes, in assorted sizes. (And those are just the highlights. We also scored some flocked dinosaurs and ducks; alas, no flocked squirrels.)
Total cost: under $10, including the $1 fee for using a debit card.
"Come back tomorrow when you can really look," the clerk said, handing over the grocery bag. "We're open til Saturday at noon."
Diane closes forever on January 31.

Reviewed By James K (Gainesville, VA) Reviewed for a 2016 GMC Canyon —9/26/2016 3:28 AM
Cover has been installed on my 2016 Canyon for about 3 weeks now. No issues so far except that the seal around the front edge had some gaps due to the caps on the sides of the bed being slightly higher than the cap on the front of the bed (so not the covers fault). Added a strip of weather stripping from Lowe's and issue resolved. Drove on interstate with the cover on at 70 MPH and had no problems. Seems to be sturdy and looks good.

Do you mean the durability of the brass cartridge case? If so, it depends to some degree on how much pressure is generated by the load (a .357 will not last as long as a .38); the type of case (nickel will not last as long as brass); the loading practices (a heavy crimp will shorten case life) and a few other variables.
With the 'right' combination of techniques and practices, a cartridge case can be reloaded dozens of times.

Thanks ,
And for how long can you keep ammunition , is there also a expiration date for ammo's :):)
March 10, 2010, 08:11 PM
Chris is talking about reloading spent cases, which involves many variables to determine the longevity of a case.
Short answer, if stored properly there really doesn't appear to be any "expiration date" for ammo. Keep it in a cool, dry, dark place and it should keep for a very long time.
Bear in mind, many people still purchase and use surplus military ammunition manufactured and sealed 60 years ago and it still works.

Home is where the heart - and history - is. Jokes fly and hidden agendas unfold as two vastly different generations of characters tip-toe the delicate dance of social politics. Two seminal events - 50 years apart - are at the cruz of the conflict in the same North Chicago house. This rich and and lightning-quick comedy is every bit as provocative as it is entertaining - as it cleverly spins the events of A Raisin in the Sun into an unforgettable new story about race and real estate in America.

Lakeside 2015
A true fans favourite Tony O'Shea makes his 14th consecutive appearance at the Lakeside and having lost out in three Lakeside finals he will be hoping his luck changes this year. In 2014 the Lakeside draw pitched two legends of the game against each other in the 1st round – in a draw fit for a final 'Silverback' was drawn against the 3 times former World Champion Martin Adams. It was a game where nothing seemed to go right for O'Shea and 'Wolfie' pouncing at every chance went on to the Last 16 winning his 16th 1st round tie. This year the draw has given O' Shea another tough match against No. 4 seed Scott Mitchell who surprisingly enough he has never played against during the World Championships.

According to Cairo Airport's website Saudi Arabian Airlines are operating a LHR-CAI charter today. SV7582's scheduled arrival time into CAI is 02:00 on 17/08 but it's showing as delayed. I can't find the flight on LHR's website but that's probably because it has already departed and therefore not showing on the live flight departure page. Anyway does anyone know what aircraft operated the flight?

Biogenesis Employee Demanding $1M For Documents
Well, this has devolved into farce. Porter Fischer, the ex-Biogenesis employee who claims to have a so-called ?smoking gun? regarding Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and the rest of the Biogenesis players, has demanded $1 million from Major League Baseball for his cooperation. From TMZ:
"Alex Rodriguez? career could hang in the balance of a 7-figure check ? because sources tell TMZ, the whistleblower who allegedly has proof A-Rod and other players bought steroids wants at least a million bucks for his info ? Fischer?s attorney tells TMZ, his client discussed a possible deal with MLB ? in which the league would acquire the drug-purchasing records of more than 100 MLB players (including A-Rod and Ryan Braun) ? but it?s gonna cost ?em."

Twenty-one of the world's leaders are discussing ways to revive the global economy at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit being held in Hawaii this week.
They say free trade is vital to the recovery.
President Obama is expected to push a plan to create a new free trade bloc in the Pacific region.
Canada, Mexico, and Japan are among the countries supporting the move. China has not agreed with the president's plan just yet.
While in the Aloha State, Obama will also campaign and raise money for his presidential reelection bid.
He says the current Congress is not cooperating with him, so he may need a new one to pass his $447 billion spending bill.
On Sunday, Obama accused lawmakers on the congressional super committee of refusing to budge off their rigid positions and find a solution to the country's deficit problems.
The committee appears deadlocked as the Nov. 23 deadline approaches to find more than $1 trillion in deficit cuts across governmental programs, including the Pentagon.
"It feels as if people continue to try to stick with their rigid positions rather than solve the problem," Obama said of the 12 members of the bipartisan deficit committee.

text: The Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus) is a medium-sized American woodpecker. It depends heavily on acorns for food and family groups create granaries or "acorn trees" by drilling holes in dead trees, dead branches, and wooden buildings. The woodpeckers then collect acorns and find a hole that is just the right size for the acorn. As acorns dry out, they are moved to smaller holes. The acorns are visible, and the group defends the store from other acorn eating birds and mammals. Studies have shown that breeding groups range from monogamous pairs to breeding collectives of seven males and three females and up to 10 nonbreeding helpers. Young have been found with multiple paternity.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - He allowed himself a 2-hour pout. That was it. For 2 hours after hearing that Jimmy Rollins had re-signed with the Phillies last December, Freddy Galvis felt a little sorry for himself, forlorn, maybe even depressed.
"Everybody would be like that, though," he was saying as he sat on a chair on one of the back fields of the Carpenter Complex the other day. "When you have a dream that you want to play in the big leagues and you feel like you've gotten closer and then the guy who is playing in front of you just signed for 3 years, the first thing you say is, 'Wow, I'm going to go to the minors again.'

Let me make this as clear as possible before I continue: Battlefield is not Call of Duty. Anyone who has played both will gladly testify to that. Now, with that out of the way, let's talk about what you came here to read: Battlefield 3.
In Battlefield 3, you (primarily) play as Sergeant Blackburn, a marine who is being interrogated about missing nuclear warheads. The story unfolds through flashbacks, though not the entire story plays out this way. By the end, you will have played through a tense sniping portion, shot down enemy fighter jets, and raced against the clock in order to prevent a nuclear explosion. You will also have played as several characters in different areas around the world (sound familiar, yet?)
Let me get this out of the way: if you bought Battlefield 3 expecting a great single player campaign, look somewhere else. What's available on the disc isn't terrible, by any stretch of the imagination. The main problem is that we've already seen this before, even in DICE's own Battlefield: Bad Company games! Nuclear threat? Check. Russian villain that becomes the main target? Check. It's all run-of-the-mill, standard affair. This would be more bearable if the single-player campaign delivered edge-of-seat thrills and memorable setpieces. It doesn't. Regardless, the campaign does deliver some exciting setpieces which will want you playing through them to see what happens in the end.
- Oh, don't mind me. I'm just a heavily-scripted setpiece.
In addition, everything just feels heavily scripted. There are segments where you even see the script with your own eyes. For example, in Operation Swordbreaker, you are given an AT4 in order to take out a sniper from a building parallel to your location. The game literally tells you when to shoot, and where exactly to shoot. Give us the option to take him out before that point! It doesn't sound like much, but when heavily-scripted actions occur several more times over any given time span, it gets boring. Oh, and let me not forget those stupid quick-time events that feel unnecessary and tacked on.
The campaign attempts to break up any monotony by putting you inside of a fighter jet, as well as driving a tank. When in the fighter jet, you feel exhilarated as final checks are made. Adrenaline is pumping through your veins as the jet powers on...until you realize that you don't actually fly the damn thing! This would have been a perfect opportunity to introduce flying mechanics, so when the player makes the jump to multiplayer, they will have gotten the basics down, but nope. DICE only gives you the options to shoot a turret or missiles. Weak. Still, admittedly, this was an exciting setpiece, with several dispersed throughout the 6-8 hour campaign.
As for co-op, well it's pretty disappointing. In my opinion, it is uninspired, with no real added benefit. If you die, you will start from the beginning of that level. It's that fucked up. Co-op just feels like two people going through a map, instead of one person doing one person, and another person doing something else, while communicating with each other and devising tactics. In short, co-op is nothing to write home about.
Am I saying the campaign is terrible? No, I am definitely not. What I am saying is that we've already seen this done before, and better. You might be saying to yourself, "Call of Duty is scripted, too!" That is definitely true, but the difference is that Call of Duty constantly delivers on the excitement factor. This is, funny enough, balanced by the relatively boring Battlefield 3 campaign. It might feel boring because it delivers more on realism than does Call of Duty's campaign. Be honest: Call of Duty's campaign can be over-the-top sometimes, and you don't get that feeling with Battlefield 3's campaign. Still, Battlefield 3's campaign delivers tight gunplay, along with some exciting setpieces and a focused narrative, although everything about it is run-of-the-mill and derivative.
Sign up only if you're truly dedicated. There is no such thing as instant gratification when it comes to Battlefield 3's multiplayer. You better be prepared to play if you launch Battlefield 3's multiplayer suite, and damn what a package. Multiplayer is DICE's bread and butter, and Battlefield 3 is no different. Be warned, however, that console matches are limited to 24 players at a time, as opposed to 64 players on the PC version. Regardless of the limit for console players, Battlefield 3 multiplayer is still a shitload of fun.
Players can choose from four classes: Assault, Support, Engineer, and Recon. The multiplayer modes are Rush, Conquest, Team Deathmatch, and all squad variants. From the get-go, you can play each map in any mode. Speaking of maps, Battlefield 3 ships with a total of nine maps, with four re-imagined maps. Needless to say, every single one of the nine maps are fantastic, with vehicles only adding to the frenzy. Thanks to DICE's addition of tanks, jets, jeeps, and helicopters, as well as on-foot soldiers, multiplayer feels like you are fighting a war.
Unlike the PC version, you do not need to exit the game in order to launch a multiplayer game from a browser. Everything is seamless, with chat options, server lists, and stats all streamlined for consoles, though some matches might result in some lag. The same occurred with some of my matches, though I don't know if it's more of a widespread problem.
- Absolutely gorgeous.
The game looks mighty fine, though 360 owners will be doing themselves a favor if they make the 2 GB sacrifice in making the game look better. I assure you, it will be one of the smartest things you will ever do. There are some framerate issues with the console versions, though, as well as instances of textures popping into view. On occasion, the framerate would drop below 30 FPS, but only when there a lot of concentrated fighting, as well as vehicles showing up at the same time. Other than that, animations look impressive, with realistic and smooth animations. Guns and explosions feel like they have weight to them, with the environment getting realistically torn apart because of gunfire and explosions. If you have a surround sound system, then Battlefield 3 will be your show-off game whenever people come over. It truly takes advantage of that system, rocking your senses to the core.
Though Battlefield 3 delivers the best campaign in franchise history, it is derivative and run-of-the-mill, with setpieces dispersed evenly throughout the 6-8 hour campaign. The multiplayer easily makes up for the flawed campaign, maintaining the high bar that DICE always sets for Battlefield games. Newcomers and seasoned veterans alike will find much to love about Battlefield 3. However, you have been warned. If you're getting Battlefield 3 solely for the campaign, prepare to be disappointed. If you're getting Battlefield 3 for the total package, then gear up and be prepared for the best DICE has to offer.

Eat at your desk? You're working 16 days a year for free
- From: news.com.au
- July 11, 2012
- Stressed workers feel too 'guilty' to take lunch
- Working an extra 16 days a year for free
- Aussies earning more than everyone else
OFFICE employees are working 16 days a year for free by not taking their lunch break, a new survey has revealed.
An incredible 60 per cent of UK office workers eat their lunch at their desk – equating to about 128 hours a year or more than three weeks.
The survey of more than 1000 workers found that stress levels led to more than two-thirds of respondents feeling guilty for taking more than half-an-hour lunch break - despite being entitled to a full hour.
The survey by Birmingham's Aston University also revealed that even those workers who do manage to escape the office use the opportunity to catch up with clients or business contacts.
Dr Patrick Tissington, of Aston University, who specialises in the science of workplaces, told UK's The Sun that employees are risking their health by not taking lunch breaks.
He said that people feel "under pressure" at work, with many spending long hours at their desks, "tapping away at keyboards, staring at screens and sitting with bad posture in awkward positions".

It would be hillarious to see the indignant reaction of everyone if their boss walked in EVERY day at 12:30pm and said, "Get out for 45 minutes. You may NOT sit at your desk during our time while on your lunch break." Half the people just cant be bothered getting up and going out (every day), and they'd prefer to east at their desk, chipping away at their work or web browsing. What this article is _really_ saying is: nothing...
Sydney Boy of Sydney Posted at 5:50 PM July 11, 2012
Mat of Perth, I take around 5 x 5 minute breaks for a smoko which is far less than the non smokers chatting in the lunch room as well as eating their breakfast at 9am while I am working my butt off ! Ohh and I forgot the mention I am at the office well over 30 minutes after the non smokers leave !
Daniel D Posted at 5:49 PM July 11, 2012
Kristy you go girl! Me I will be home for time with my wife and kids.You must be very disappointed in my comfortable lifestyle and work/life balance. Not to mention the time I spend with the kids instead of the client. Really poor show on my part I know. You'd better get that plane. See you when you get back. I've got some paperwork to finish. Then home for tea, some tennis tonight after dinner at a reasonable hour. Oh and a decision on what movie as a family we will go and see on the weekend. I am such a disappointment, but its my burden not yours. Not everyone can soar.

In this tutorial, we're going to look at layer groups. Layer groups allow you to take multiple layers and put them into a single folder, making it easy to organize things, especially when you have image like Times Square which is made up of so many different objects that are made up of so many different layers. It allows me to go in there and keep things organized and easy to find. We're going to look at how the layer groups also made it easy to go in there and get complex areas simplified. We're going to zoom in over here on this Marriott Hotel right here and we are going to get a little closer and we see that there's multiple rooms here.
Now, this is a low res file, so I am going to open up the actual file for that building itself which is right here. Now there's a lot of pieces missing. I only create the pieces that are visible. But this is high res version, so if we zoom in closely, we could see all the details that's involved in each room. Now being a hotel, all the rooms in a line are pretty much the same. Same paintings on the walls, same furniture, and so on. So you could see that there is a little variety as far as the paintings on the wall, but the furniture is pretty much the same everywhere across. Now the difference that we see here is that the lightning in the rooms is different.
All right, the key here, we have this room being lit from somewhere over here on the side. And we see a reflection on the bedspread and so on. Here the chair has been moved a little bit and the lamp is lit. Okay, over here somebody is watching television. You could see their feet underneath the covers, and so on. Here again, there's a lit from the side. Here's a light from the other side, and so on. Here's one that's completely dark inside. Here's a lamp by the bed is lit and everything else is dark. So it looks like each one of these rooms is totally different, right here.
Look at those three and we see that all three are different. Same furnishings, but the atmosphere is different because the lightning is different. Now, did I go ahead and create three completely different rooms? No. Right here we'll look at a simple file that was created just for this tutorial in which we see the interior part of the room, right there. Above here on the second floor there is nothing. Now when we look at the layers, we see that there is the windows, right there. It's a 5 by 12 and then there is a group here.
Opening that you'll see that there's two subgroups, the Chair and the lamp, and the other elements of the interior of the room, the Painting on the wall, the bed, the ceiling, and the wall. The lamp is made up of multiple layers as well. We have a pole. We have the pole in back. We have the shade, and so on. So, all these things are in there. So I am going to just close this group. And to create a group all you do is click on that little icon right there, and that will create a group. And then a layer you put into it or new layers that you create while that group is open will automatically be put into that group.
So I'll now do here is all the interior elements of that room are in that group. So what I am going to do I am going to duplicate that group. I will call this upstairs. So there's a second group. So now I am going to take that entire group and move it up above just like that. All right, so there they are in the exact same position. It's little bit over. They're directly above. Now because we're looking at it a different angle, we're going to see things differently.
We're going to see more at the ceiling, less at the bed. So let's move it down a little bit, like so. All right, that's one start. And we're going to see more at the top of the painting. The painting would be a little further down. So we're going to open up that group and look at that Painting on the wall which I am not going to move a little further down, so we see more of it. And the bed as well. I am going to move that a little further down so we're seeing less of it, because we're at the different angle so we're seeing less of those items here. Okay, the chair, the chair would be down pretty far so that's good. The lamp is good.
Now what we're going to do is we're going to change the mood by changing the lighting. This particular lighting is going to be completely changed. Again, we should see more of the ceiling. So what I am going to do is I am going to take the wall and the ceiling there and move them down, like that so we see more of the ceiling. Okay, because we're again looking at this different angle. So now let's go in there and start changing the lights. I am going to pick up the colors of the lighting on the wall by picking this light color here for my foreground and I am going to pick the darkest brown for my background, right there.
And I am going to select the ceiling first. Now my light is not going to be somewhere way over here on this side of the room. So I am going to get a Radial Gradient and I am going to lock the transparency for that layer. So it's only going to affect the active pixels. I am going to draw a gradient right through there like that. I am going to get the wall and I am going to take a linear gradient. If I don't lock the transparency, when I go ahead and do this, it's going to kind of fill up everything, you see.
I want to do that. I just want to fill that layer, so I lock the transparency and then I'll throw a little gradient right through there like that. So now we see that the lighting is somewhere over here out of our field of view. So that's going to affect the few things in this scene. For one thing, the bed should get a little darker. So I am going go to the bed here and I'll just choose one of different adjustments. We will just go in there and say Hue/Saturation. That will allow us to go in there and bring down the Lightness and bring down the Saturation a little bit. Now Lightness, some more so little darker in there. See, just like that.
Now the painting on the wall, that should be darker as well. So I am going to go in there to Hue/ Saturation again and say make that darker. But we have this light coming from over here, which means it should cast a shadow now. So this time I am going to give the painting on the wall a layer style. I am going to give it a little Drop Shadow. The light is coming from this direction, so I am going to put this right over there and there you see that now we have this little shadow on the side of the painting right there. We can make a little more distance so that it as a nice long shadow because the light is somewhere near the wall. Click OK there.
And now our painting is darker and it has a shadow that's being cast by this light way over here. The lamp, we have to turn this lamp off because we have another lamp on way over here. So I am going to go to layer for the lamp. There is a bulb right there. So I am just going to use that Hue/Saturation. We'll just bring the Lightness all the way down to -100, which made it pretty much black. It turned off. So now I've got go over in there and throw in the shade. So I am going to pick some colors from here. And I'll pick up this tone right there, and from the background the same tone which I'll make even darker.
A darker tone like that. And I am going to get this shade and I'll lock its transparency and throw the light tone on this end here, because this is picking up that light from way over there. Then I am going to take the inside of the lamp which is right here. There it is. Its transparency is locked. I am going to throw a gradient inside there, which I am also going to make a little darker. So let's just go in there and darken that because that is the inside of the lamp, right in there like that. Click OK. Now that lamp is turned off. Now the pole has a little bit of a light in there.
Let's go in there and take the pole and we'll darken it. For now, the pole is nice and dark. And you notice that the chair also has some highlights, but every element of the chair is in its own layer, making it easy to make adjustments. But there you could see the armrest. So I could take the armrest and darken it. You could take away the Inner Shadow that it has and just darken the whole thing completely. And the same thing with the Chair back, which is that section right there, yep.
This we'll do with a little burning. We'll just burn this side right here just to darken that side a little more, just like that. And there you could see that now we have two totally different rooms. They have the same contents, but you can see that the entire mood has been changed because the lighting was changed. But it made it really easy to do it because all the contents were in a group. The group was duplicated and then the elements within that group were modified to change the mood of the room.
In this installment, The Tools, Bert demonstrates how he uses the brushes, filters, and textures in Photoshop to create everything from the trees in Central Park to the billboards on Broadway, and shares his techniques for keeping his project organized with layers and groups. He also touches on the importance of channels and channel calculations, and how the evolution of the tools in Photoshop from CS3 to CS5 shaped his work.

Title 284
Chapter 284-20
Section 284-20-010
<< 284-20-010 >>
No agency filings affecting this section since 2003
Standard fire policies.
(1) This regulation is promulgated pursuant to RCW
(1) to define and effect reasonable uniformity in all basic contracts of fire insurance.
(2) All policies which include coverage against loss or damage by fire are hereby defined to be basic contracts of fire insurance unless they come within the scope of insurance code provisions, or regulations adopted by the commissioner, providing that they may be regarded as marine, inland marine, vehicle, or casualty policies.
(3) Except for the provisions of the next succeeding three paragraphs, no company shall issue any basic contract of fire insurance covering property or interest therein in this state other than on the form known as the 1943 New York Standard Fire Insurance Policy, herein referred to as the "standard fire policy": Provided, however, That such form shall be modified to conform to RCW
with respect to the number of days' notice of cancellation required. In addition, such form shall be modified as necessary to conform to WAC
with respect to inception and expiration times. Such modifications may be by endorsement.
(a) Insurers issuing a standard fire policy pursuant to this regulation are hereby authorized to affix thereto or include therein a written statement that the policy does not cover loss or damage caused by nuclear reaction or nuclear radiation or radioactive contamination, all whether directly or indirectly resulting from an insured peril under said policy: Provided, however, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit the attachment to any such policy of an endorsement or endorsements specifically assuming coverage for loss or damage caused by nuclear reaction or nuclear radiation or radioactive contamination provided such assumption clause has been filed with and approved by the commissioner in accordance with RCW
(b) The pages of the standard fire policy issued pursuant to this regulation may be renumbered and the format rearranged for convenience in the preparation of individual contracts, and to provide space for the listing of rates and premiums for coverages insured thereunder or under endorsement attached to or printed thereon, and such other data as may be conveniently included for duplication on daily reports for office records.
(c) As an alternative form, a form written in clear, understandable language, which provides terms, conditions and coverages not less favorable to the insured than the "standard fire policy," may be used. Such alternative form may be incorporated in or integrated within a form providing other or additional coverages, as, for example, a homeowners policy or a special multiperil policy. The intent of this subsection is to permit understandable plain language policies and package policies without diminishing any rights an insured would have under the 1943 New York Standard Fire Insurance Policy.
(d) By use of such alternative form, an insurer certifies that it is not less favorable to the insured than the "standard fire policy." If, in the adjustment of claims, any provision of the "standard fire policy" applicable to such claims is found to be more favorable to the insured than the alternative form used, then provisions of the "standard fire policy" shall govern.

Reform of the cotton regime: call for contributions to an internet consultation
Following the general reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, a new aid regime for cotton was adopted by the Council in 2004 (applicable as of January 2006). In this new arrangement 65 % of the previous aid has been "decoupled" (not linked to production) and 35 % has been linked to cotton production in the form of an area payment. The Government of Spain contested this reform before the European Court of Justice and the Court annulled the cotton reform in September 2006. However the reform approach (the change of support system) itself is not questioned, but the way the reform was prepared.
As the EU cotton support scheme involves many economic, international (development and trade), environmental, social and quality issues, a view of the stakeholders would be useful. The Commission would like to have the input of the different stakeholders (producers, consumers and tax payers) on these issues for the future EU cotton support scheme.
How to participate?
All stakeholders and the general public are invited to take part in the consultation by filling in the questionnaire.
This questionnaire is also available in German, Greek, Spanish, French and Portuguese. Your personal information is covered by a Privacy Statement [pdf].
Please note that this consultation will remain open until 22
June 2007.

The IRS has 7,000 fewer full-time employees now than it had at the end of 2010, and this fact represents good news and bad news for the 1 percent of taxpayers that get routinely hit with full blown tax audits.
For tax year 2012, fewer of us are likely to get audited right away, but that doesn't mean that a tax cheat won't ultimately have to face the music. Actually sequestration and its attendant furloughing of IRS enforcement personnel is, at best, a pyrrhic victory for the audit-prone. When the audits do take place, the penalties will be larger, as will the accrued interest.
Then too, the distribution of CP2000 forms has not waned this year. This form states that "the income and/or payment information that the IRS has on file doesn't match the information you reported on your tax return. This could affect your tax return; it may cause an increase or decrease in your tax, or may not change it at all." At a minimum, however, receiving any letter from the IRS typically generates angst for the recipient.
Pundits have labeled the day during the year when we have earned enough income to pay all of the taxes we are on the hook for as Tax Freedom Day. In case you missed the celebration, it occurred on April 18 last month. The bottom line is that we Americans work, on average, about 3½ months to earn enough money to pay all of the federal, state, and local taxes that we will owe for 2013.
We South Carolinians can take some solace in the fact we only had to work until April 3 to meet all of our tax obligations for the year, but those living in New York had to toil until May 6 and our friends in Connecticut until May 13.
Actually, Tax Freedom Day this year took place five days later than it did last year due to a triple whammy of tax increases for tax year 2013. Top income earners will face a top tax rate of 39.6 percent in 2013, plus some of the tax increases brought about by The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) were implemented this year. Believe it or not, two of the five days being added this year the result of the expiration of the payroll tax cut, which increased payroll taxes back to 6.2 percent of income this year. Elizabeth Malm, an economist with the Tax Foundation, noted that "This year is kind of unprecedented."
If Congress had required us to work long enough this year to cover all of the budgeted federal spending this year, we would all have had to work until May 9.
The fact that the job market is improving is also good news and bad news, since as individuals earn more income as a result of their new jobs, they will pay more taxes on that income.
Consider this, the Tax Foundation found that we pay more in taxes each year than we pay for food, clothing and housing combined. Comparatively speaking, things were worse in 2000, since Tax Freedom Day took place that year on May 6. By way of contrast, in 1900, Americans had paid their tax bills for the year by Jan. 22.
Finally, don't you wish that you had the counsel of tax experts of the caliber that Apple has? A Senate panel found that Apple sheltered $74 billion of profits from any taxes over the past four years. The investigation found no evidence that Apple did anything illegal. Aides to the subcommittee said they have never seen a company use a subsidiary that didn't owe corporate income taxes to any country. Apple CEO Tim Cook testified before the committee and told the senators that Apple does not use tax gimmicks, but that multinational U.S. companies should not face U.S. corporate tax rates on their overseas earnings.
