Nestled in an exclusive 12-block historic district, Yaletown is downtown Vancouver's hippest enclave. A brief stroll through the neighborhood reveals row after row of refurbished warehouses, stylish boutiques, and innovative restaurants. For those looking to explore Vancouver's coastal scenery, the landscape's bike and walking paths run along the waterfront, providing breezy access to Stanley Park, Sunset Beach, and Coal Harbour.

In fact, the completely revamped hotel offers virtual lifestyle concierges to help guests pinpoint their ideal décor. Your ultra-mod hideaway mixes bold décor and eye-catching colors in a marvelous medley that garnered it a spot on Condé Nast Travel's Gold List, and prompted one guest to say, "I feel like a friend with a great sense of style who lives in a great neighborhood tossed me the keys to his place."

|GTA V Latest News | #GTAV | #GTAOnline
2013 Grand Theft Auto IV is 5 Years Old
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 02:00 PM MDT | By Ash_735
Today Grand Theft Auto IV is FIVE years old! At the time it was the first proper Next Gen outing for the Grand Theft Auto Series appearing on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (and Grand Theft Auto V intends to end that era with a bang!) with a PC release arriving later in the year.
We've seen the modding scene grow to insane highs through our own GTA4-Mods.com and various other GTA websites, and that will only continue to grow as more tools become available, such as OpenIV which is still being updated to this day with a new release due out soon! With projects such as IV: SA and Iron Man IV, it should give you an idea of how much effort people can really put into their ideas and mods and how much it benefits from that attention. Here's to many more mods and projects to come!
With OVER 25 MILLION copies sold and trunk full of awards, Grand Theft Auto IV is one of the most successful GTA games around and yet is also one of the most argued about with many different opinions ranging from people thinking the game is too serious, lost its way, etc splitting some gaming communities in half with one side opting for Saints Row, which lead to one of the more creative response videos from the GTA Community, which only started off the zany direction many mods followed on with. And yes, you guys even followed trends such as Gangnam Style (even Gentlemen) and the Harlem Shake.
Of course it wasn't all just crazy videos and funny stuff, we also had genuine well made and edited videos such as the amazing "Niko Bellic - Man On Fire" tribute (and in my opinion, the better "Peace and Prosperity be Damned" tribute) so it feels fitting to highlight the next video, which shows a playthrough of all three stories at once, showing the events of the now well known "Impossible Trinity", the GTA IV Diamond Story Arc. So before we start with the Grand Theft Auto V stuff and go full out with it, here, watch this video, see what it's like to have Three Protagonists running through the story at the same time and see how diverse it can be as well as how fitting it is to have it follow multiple arcs between the characters...

On May 31, the Orioles hosted their annual Union Night at Oriole Park, with more than 25,000 members of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. Members threw out the first pitch and were honored in a pre-game ceremony. Additionally, one dollar from every ticket sold benefited the Baltimore AFL-CIO Community Services Food Pantry.
On June 2, more than 2,000 Baltimore area Boy Scouts attended the Orioles game against the Detroit Tigers. The Orioles honored the top sellers in the Boy Scouts' popcorn selling fundraiser with a ballpark tour earlier in the day, the opportunity to watch batting practice from the field, presentation of the lineup card, Orioles Heavy Hitter award and the ceremonial first pitch. The top two sellers enjoyed two innings of the game from the grounds crew area, and all participants received a special Oriole Park at Camden Yards scout badge.
On June 11, the Orioles honored the dedicated men and women of The Downtown Partnership's operations teams. Each year, members of these teams make significant contributions to the Baltimore community. Downtown Baltimore Guides assisted more than 300,000 people, Clean Sweep Ambassadors removed more than 1,100 tons of trash from downtown streets and alleys and Park Stewards provided and maintained all of downtown's various green spaces. Before the game, the Orioles recognized three members of The Downtown Partnership who were honored as Employees of the Year for their outstanding performance: Baltimore Guide Robert Archer, Clean Sweep Ambassador Shanica Jones and Park Steward Zack Howard. The Orioles also donated 240 tickets to The Downtown Partnership for the game against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
2013 marked a significant loss for the Orioles family, as Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver passed away prior to Opening Day. On April 20, the Orioles hosted a public celebration of life for the legendary manager at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The program, "A Celebration of Earl," included a video tribute and a collection of notable guest speakers to honor the memory of the greatest manager in Orioles history. Guest speakers included Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken, Rick Dempsey, Buck Showalter, National Baseball Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson and Earl's son, Mike Weaver. One of six Orioles Legends to receive his own larger-than-life bronze sculpture at the ballpark in 2012, Weaver passed away in January at the age of 82. The Orioles also wore a patch on their right uniform sleeve throughout the season in honor of Weaver.
On April 16, along with all other MLB teams, Orioles players and coaches wore Robinson's number 42 jersey for their game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The jerseys were then auctioned online, raising $23,116 for the Jackie Robinson Foundation and the Baltimore Orioles Charitable Foundation. In recognition of the 66th anniversary of Jackie Robinson becoming the first African-American player in Major League Baseball, the Orioles honored a Jackie Robinson Foundation scholar in a special pre-game ceremony. Brittany Thomas, a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University majoring in Public Health Studies and Global Environmental Change and Sustainability, was presented with a #42 jersey by Adam Jones and threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Thomas is one of over a thousand young men and women who were able to attend college thanks to the Jackie Robinson Foundation, Major League Baseball and the Orioles. Jones is also personally supporting a Jackie Robinson Foundation scholar, Alanah Grisham, a junior studying neurobiology at Spelman College from San Diego, CA. Through this grant, Alanah will be supported for four years.
On June 27, the Orioles hosted the 29th annual Buddies Night. Buddies is a group consisting of Baltimore Police and local businessmen and women who raise money for inner city youth programs for the Baltimore Police Department. More than 4,000 people associated with the group attended the game against the Cleveland Indians, and the group participated in a pre-game check presentation and ceremony.
Before the Orioles' game against the Texas Rangers on July 10, the team hosted a special pre-game ceremony at Oriole Park for the student winners of the 2013 Philip F. Haxel, Sr. Elementary School Baton of Patriotism Essay contest. The contest was founded by the American Flag Foundation, the organization that brings the Living American Flag at Fort McHenry and the Traveling Living American Flag to Maryland schools. Mr. Philip F. Haxel, Jr., son of the humanitarian for whom the contest is named, recognized the winners.
Following their games on August 4, July 14 and August 25 the Orioles hosted a Kids Run the Bases event on the field at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Children 14 and under were invited to live out their big league dreams by running the bases after each game.
September 27, prior to the Orioles game vs. the Boston Red Sox, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield presented a check in the amount of $208,000 to the Y of Central Maryland. CareFirst donated $50 for each Orioles walk this season. To complement the over $20,000 in Healthy Walks already earned this year, CareFirst increased their contribution to $208,000 to support the Y of Central Maryland. The Orioles' walks leader, Chris Davis, participated in a check presentation ceremony with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and Y of Central Maryland representatives. The money will help support the Y's "Fit and Fun Program."
Every year, Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. and KTBS Payroll contribute $1,000 for every save recorded by an Orioles pitcher during the season. This season, thanks to the success of the Orioles, highlighted by Jim Johnson's 50 saves and the generous support of Kelly and Associates Insurance Group and KTBS Payroll, The R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center received a check for $55,000 in an on-field ceremony prior to the game against the Toronto Blue Jays on September 28. Since 1996, Kelly and Associates Insurance Group and KTBS Payroll have contributed over $750,000 to The R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center through the "Saves for Shock Trauma" program.
In 2013, more than 12,000 children from disadvantaged areas in the region experienced a game at Oriole Park thanks to the OriolesREACH Gameday Experience Program. By partnering with more than 70 local non-profit and youth groups, the Orioles provide children with complimentary game tickets, concessions vouchers, Orioles t-shirts and caps, and transportation to and from the game.
In 2013, several players supported the program, including Wilson Betemit, Alexi Casilla, Wei-Yin Chen, Chris Davis, Jason Hammel, J.J. Hardy, Tommy Hunter, Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Brian Matusz, Nate McLouth, Chris Tillman, and Matt Wieters.
More than 100,000 children have participated in the Gameday Experience Program since its inception.
During each home game, the Orioles provide a community booth for charitable, non-profit organizations to distribute information, sell raffle tickets, register participants or provide health care screenings.

text: Great forum! Wealth of useful information! Unfortunately, have had the time to get on here but used the infomation from club to resolve some truck issues. I'm probably what most members would consider old at almost 50. I live in Circleville, Ohio (not to be confused with Hooterville ). Own a 2003 Avalanche that is basically stock. Enjoy hunting, boating, fishing when I can. Also enjoy wooddworking especially speaker building an cannot wait to build some under the seat sub boxes as well as the center console upgrade. I purchased the trnas cooler package but haven't installed yet. Have a wonderful wife and 3 grown children. Also have a V65 Magna motorcycle. Also a veteran from the 80s. Again, love the club, wish I could spend more time on here.

If you like well-made films then go and see this movie! Rooney Mara and the other actors/actresses do a great job and the directing is top-notch. The storyline is gritty and dark but never dreary or gruesome without reason.
I went into the theater thinking the movie would be pretty good, but it really blew my expectations out of the water.
The movie does deal with violent subject matter(murder/rape/torture) and is quite long, so don't bring any children (or adults with meager attention spans).

text: When people purchase study materials with the intention of taking one of our exams, they often experience a slight panic when they get their materials and realize, "I have to understand concepts in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, nutrition, etc?!" FEAR NOT! The ACE Resource Center has a team of study coaches ready to help you on your journey to becoming an ACE Certified Fitness Professional. If you've ever called our Resource Center, you've already spoken to at least one of us, and we thought it might be helpful if we told you a little about ourselves. Name: Christopher Scott Gagliardi How long have you worked at ACE? I've been a part of the ACE family since October 26, 2010, at 8:00 a.m. Education and experience: I earned my bachelor's degree in kinesiology from San Diego State University and earned a certificate in orthotics from Northwestern University. I currently hold certifications with ACE, NSCA and NASM. "Fitness Philosophy"…What drives you? If you find an activity you really enjoy, fitness will never be a task—it will become a way of life. Biggest challenge when studying for ACE Exams: The biggest challenge I faced while studying for my exam was making the time to study. I kept coming up with reasons not to study. I learned that, just like every other aspect of life, you can always think of excuses not to do something, but I needed to start coming up with excuses to do things—like study. Favorite study topic to discuss: I like learning about exercise science, anatomy and behavior change. Favorite part of being a fitness professional: I enjoy sharing my passion for fitness with others and watching them grow as they strive toward becoming the best version of themselves. Name: Mollie Martin How long have you worked at ACE? Ten months and a few days. Education and experience: I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a degree in psychology with an emphasis in kinesiology. I earned my ACE Personal Training certification while working at my college gym as a junior and wanted to give back to others with my passion for fitness. After graduating college, I moved to San Diego to work in the fitness industry and to play rugby at the elite level. I have worked with clients from many walks of life and taught classes ranging from cycling and boot camp to aqua and cardio circuits. A few months after starting at ACE, I completed the ACE Health Coach certification and the Sports Conditioning Specialty Certification, in addition to having my Corporate Health Coaching certification. I am currently studying for her ACE Group Fitness Instructor Certification before I tackle the Advanced Health & Fitness exam. "Fitness Philosophy"…What drives you? The more you put in, the more you'll get out. Biggest challenge when studying for ACE Exams: Between working full-time, teaching three boot camps a week, training clients and playing rugby full time, my biggest challenge is finding the time! Studying for my exams all comes down to time management and getting enough sleep! Favorite study topic to discuss: Sports conditioning Favorite part of being a fitness professional: My favorite part about being a fitness professional is the opportunity to share my passion for health and fitness with others who may not have the same outlook on life by educating them while making them sweat. Name: Makeba Edwards How long have you worked at ACE? I have been working at ACE for two-and-a-half years. Education and experience: Growing up, fitness has always been an integral part of my life. My father's involvement in the fitness industry inspired and influenced me to not only make fitness a lifestyle, but a career. I started as a receptionist and floor trainer in 1997 in a small gym in the Caribbean. Since then I have had the opportunity the work in many different capacities, from membership sales to personal trainer to being a national group fitness presenter and master trainer. I hold a B.S. in exercise science and sport studies from the University of Tampa and have been working in the fitness industry for over 15 years. I hold the ACE Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Health Coach Certifications, as well as the Fitness Nutrition Specialty Certification. I also hold an International Personal Trainer Certification, and I am certified in and teach several group fitness modalities. "Fitness Philosophy"…What drives you? My drive comes from my passion for seeing people living the healthiest, most well-rounded lives. The little bit that we can all contribute in our own corner of the world makes a big difference to the big goal of preventing and eradicating obesity. There are no quick fixes! Getting to your desired fitness goal requires hard work, commitment and consistency. With these three components you are on your way to affecting change you want to see. Biggest challenge when studying for ACE Exams: Time Management. Because of my busy schedule, I sometimes find myself procrastinating when it comes to studying. I try to find small moments in my day to dedicate to my studies. Every little bit counts! Favorite study topic to discuss: My favorite topics are postural and movement assessments. I love getting into the details of anatomy as it relates the way the muscles function. Favorite part of being a fitness professional: My favorite part about being a Fitness Professional is the people. I have been able to interact with so many people from all different walks of life and everyone has a different need and a different story. I love the look on my clients' and participants' faces when they have accomplished their goals or when they are able to do something that to them, at one point, seemed far out of reach. Name: Jessie Newell How long have you worked at ACE? It will be a year in August. Fun fact: Mollie and I were hired the same day! Education and experience: I have been working in the health and fitness industry since 2008. I earned a B.S. in kinesiology from San Diego State University, and have earned Personal Training, Health Coach, and Group Fitness Instructor Certifications through ACE. I am also in the process of completing my 200-hour yoga certification through Let It Go Yoga in Santa Barbara. "Fitness Philosophy"…What drives you? I played many competitive sports in the past, but my lack of proper training when I was young left my body achy and in pain. By the time I was 18, I had bad knees, bad hips and a bad shoulder. I loved the many benefits of exercise (more energy, positive mental attitude, group camaraderie–just to mention a few!) so I wanted to learn how do the things I love without compromising the functionality of my body. And thus my passion for functional fitness began! Shortly after I found the joy of yoga, and realized that health of the body is only a part of what it means to be healthy, and that true health needs to include the mind, body and spirit. Biggest challenge when studying for ACE Exams: My biggest challenge is remembering to focus on what's important and not get caught up in minor details. I am the type of person who likes to understand the who, what, where, when and why behind something. I have to remind myself when I am learning new information, "Is this going to affect how I should train someone?" If not, chances are it's not going to be a topic that needs to be focused on (protocols, procedures, normative data, etc.). Favorite study topic to discuss: Anything exercise science! I am a self-proclaimed nerd and I LOVE learning about what's happening on both a structural and a functional level during exercise. Favorite part of being a fitness professional: Helping others be their best self. I truly believe that health and happiness are closely intertwined and when I get to see other transform into a healthier individual, all the positive benefits of exercise seem to translate into the other aspects of their lives.

Advice for the beginner
My advice to anyone just getting into all this is, learn TCP/IP. I mean really learn it very well. Don't just memorize the stack protocols but see if you can actually visualize the entire process in your mind's eye. Understand how the software works with the hardware to move a frame and how all this works together in a network. This will pay off dividends later when working with tools, etc... Even a book like TCP/IP for Dummies is really not a bad place to start, but dont let it end there. This would be my basic advice to a beginner and I promise they will not be disappointed later down the road.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The " Time Bomb " comes with any UGF Filter that does not circulate properly.
The whole premice to a UGF is that the water is constantly being "filtered" by the bacteria bed in the substrate.
Even with good water flow through the substrate(front to back of plate) you had to keep the fish mulm vaccumed or it would plug areas in the plate. That build up you get is the Bomb I speak of. If you have ever taken down a tank that has an improperly working UGF you would SMELL what I mean !
There is no bacteria in the world that can catch up to that mess.
So now with a planted tank you have the roots that will take care of such toxic substrate buildups BUT the roots cannot get there because they are bound up by the UGF plate. This can happen very quickly too.
Those 1/2" gaps under the plate now become sealed and very toxic just waiting to be released.
Now one day you decide to "uproot" some old plants and try something new...
Wellguess what ...
you have just released those evil fish killing GASES ! :fire:
I have always used and LOVED UGF's but in the planted world they have no place I have learned.
The only disappointment in my 23 years of fishkeeping is that I didnt plant my tanks all along !
:hehe: :hehe:
hmmmm... thanks buck.
though i can't really see why it would be a time bomb. especially if there's no water flow per se. i can't see how it would be much different than, say, some tightly packed rocks.
man i once had a gorgeous tank full of crypts at one time with the filter plate in place. of course, this was probably more of a fluke than anything else.
cannot type any more... keyboard is getting clogged by mdf dust.
buck were you not going to post some pics today?
You are begging for trouble if use that UGF plate.... hooked up or not in a planted tank.
It defetes the rooting systems of plants and if it isnt hooked up it is a biological time bomb.
Been There ... Done That... Removed That :hehe:
before i had some flourite special ordered i was thinking about using laterite. since the tank is already torn down i had considered adding the laterite to the bottom of the tank, then placing an udergravel filter plate over the laterite. i figured the ugf plate would merely serve to hold the laterite in place ie prevent it from clouding the water when moving plants around. anyway i probably won't go this route, but i thought i would post this to see if any of you had any thoughts on whether it might work.
of yeah, the ugf wouldn't actually be hooked up, of course...

|Massoor, get no less than three bags of Flourite. It only comes in 15 pound bags so that is not a problem. Then get 50 lbs of small 1-2 mm gravel. Wash it all, mix it all, put it in the tank. If you want more then add another bag of Flourite. Also put about 4 cups of ground peat moss in the very bottom of the tank. It really makes a difference.
If you read on the laterite instructions it indicates to rinse the stuff. You need to get out as much of the fine dust in the package. Laterite is really a mess to use because it is so light and when you disturb the substrate you will have cloudy water for days, especially if you don't rinse it out. That process takes a while. When I used it I placed it in a 5 gal. bucket and just filled the bucket with water. Then you want to lower the water pressure and just trickle it into the bucket so it will overflow slowly. At the same time gently stir up the laterite to release the fine sand and when you have a fairly clear water you can then mix it with some of the gravel. You won't get the rinse water to clear up completley but just get most of the dirt out. But it will give you some Iron content the plant need.
You want to place the laterite/gravel on the bottom and then about 1-1.5 inches of pure gravel on top. That will prevent the laterite from getting into the water column and cloud the water.
You will not have a very clear tank for a few days because there is still some fine dust that you won't remove from the rinse process. But it will clear up with in a few days and sometimes a few weeks. I would also make weekly water changes to help the clearing process.
|So for my 55gal what would be just about perfect? how many bag of flouride(what size too?) and how much gravel? i lookingf or to buy some natural gravel. thanks a bunch
|Rex Grigg
|Massoor you are going to need a lot more than 50 lbs of gravel. I used three bags of Flourite and about 40-45 lbs of gravel in my 55 and I wish I had gotten four bags of Flourite. I mixed my gravel and Flourite and love the look of it. Flourite comes in 15 lb bags so plan on at least three bags. You can mix Flourite with gravel up to a 50/50 ratio. But it's not based on weight but on volume.
|Ok what I was doing was basically the same but I also stirred it around the bucket as if I was panning gold. I still haven't added any to the tank. I just located some sand that I used for making a potting mix. I don't think it's play sand, most likely sand for mortar. Anyone know if it makes a difference? I finally got some fert sticks at lunch so I'm going to work on the substrate tonight.
I getting confused.. I have a 55gallon tank, thus I would need 50 piunds of gravel(more or less). I plan on having it planted but nmot to densely because this being my first tank ever. Should i use only flourite for the substrate? OR should i buy one 25lb bag of flourite and one 25lb bag of gravel?
P.S would i mix the too, or just put one on bottome and other on top like in a layer fashion?
|Rex Grigg
|I put half a bag in a Rubbermaid tub. I use a hose end sprayer, the older brass type that you adjust by turning the body. I get a good spray going with it and just rinse the Flourite that way. I use the water pressure to keep it moving. I rinse till the tub is full then pour out the water, being careful not to lose the fines. Then I repeat. With normal Flourite I can usually get the stuff clean enough to use in three passes.
I meant laterite when I said laterite and flourite when I said flourite.
Rex, what do you mean don't stir flourite when rinsing? Maybe I missed something, but I don't get how to rinse it otherwise....
|Rex Grigg
|Flourite here. But I would guess that rinsing Laterite would be a real chore. Wash it out, let it dry, repeat.
Buck, yeah I wrote flourite when I meant laterite. Too many ites dancing around in my head.
Is everyone else talking about flourite or laterite?
|Rex Grigg
|The mistake most people make when rinsing Flourite is stirring or shaking it too much. I use water pressure to agitate it when I rinse it and it comes clean very quickly. Now if I were to start stirring it or otherwise pounding on it then it would take forever to rinse clean. I know, I made that mistake a long time ago.

Valentines Garland
I love what it adds to my mantle. Plus it was so simple to make.
All I did was get a package of white paper heart doilies at a party supply store and a few sheets of card stock. I used spray adhesive to glue the doilies to the card stock and then cut them out. I used a hole punch to make a hole on each side and strung them up with ribbon.
It was so easy but I think it makes a big impact and is super sweet. Love it!
As always I'm linking to these great parties and events:

Here in Ky the goldenrod bloom blessing coincides with a curse ( or cursed AT ) wonder of nature- the yellowjacket wasp attacks
Desperate for protein to carry the queen through winter these devils plague our hives and make the bees pretty defensive.
Hives that one could watch up close are suddenly sending out the guards when approached within 10 or 12 feet !
Remember to keep the kiddos away and be careful
I was headbutted several times in the seconds it took to snap these pics today but I use a black IPhone and my thieving Italians are super sensitive to black. They usually try to sting my hands at every close up but today at high noon ( when most bees are out) they are bombing my head .

Whitefish brewery takes home silver medal
WHITEFISH, Mont. - Great Northern Brewing Company took home a silver medal for their Wheatfish wheat beer at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver this weekend. But there's more on tap for the Whitefish brewery. Competition is stiff -- judges try more than 4,800 beers in 84 different categories.
"We entered in the past and always received positive feedback from the judges. You never really know how it's going to go," said owner Marcus Duffey. "But to come away with a medal this year was huge."
The award is coming at an exciting time for Great Northern Brewing. Duffey said the brewery recently added the Billings market to it's distribution list. It's an effort to expand regionally.
"We move east before we move west and that's a big market for us. Largest population in the state. Big beer drinkers down there," Duffey explained.
Also brewing -- GNBC is adding 50 percent more fermentation capacity in 2014. That means more beer.
"New malt delivery system so our efficiencies are going to be greater and hopefully meet that demand we're expecting in 2014," said Duffey.

2012 has taken off at a quick clip…
Tons of things going on here and all of them rocking. I've got the signature sheets for DOWN HERE IN THE DARK in front of me. The digital is out now, the signed/limited hardcover coming mid-April. It's a hell of a story and picks up right after the end of IRON BUTTERFLIES RUST. It's dark, twisted, cryptic and stunning. Alfred Hitchcock (my pet monkey) said it's a tour de force.
Like everything else, I think it stands alone, but it's a sliver of the Division mythos and I think it's going to be badass when every book and short story is complete so everybody (including me) can read them in order and experience the full effects of these character' trials and successes.
It also ties in directly to THE DAMPNESS OF MOURNING which is out early as a Kindle Exclusive. The signed/limited hardcovers are coming out on Valentine's Day!
I did an interview on Literary Mayhem. Also just turned one in for Darkfuse that was a lot of fun and should be live soon. Working with Dave Thomas on some promotional stuff that should be a blast for everybody! I think I'll be playing guitar and reading some opening chapters. 😀
NURSERY RHYMES 4 DEAD CHILDREN is in production as an audio book and so far I've heard the first 13 chapters (my lucky number!) and it is so cool to hear somebody else read my work.
I've also been interviewing some of my heroes lately. So far I've sat down and sipped absinthe with Robert Dunbar, Tom Piccirilli, and Lee Thomas. All amazingly talented bad boys. Up next I'll be interviewing Greg Gifune. Working on his questions now. It's been a lot of fun talking to those guys and picking their brains. They've been surprisingly candid and I love 'em for it.
I finished the rewrite on the second Red Piccirilli book WITHIN THIS GARDEN WEEPING. I'd submitted it to Chizine but since I've written one novel and three novellas while waiting to hear back from them I figured it a good idea to use what I'd learned while waiting to make the book stronger. It's the sequel to the first book BEFORE LEONORA WAKES, a simple but interesting YA story. I'm very proud of both of them since they set the foundation in what comes in the adult novels and novellas. You can read the opening of the second book on the lovely Book Den.
Another Division story, THE RIVER, is under consideration with Apex's Dark Faith 2 antho. It's the only short story I have unpublished right now and I love it.
Two short stories (Daddy Screamed With Us and Crooked Stick Figures) will be in the anthology American Horror Stories, vol. 1 from Delirium Books later this year, too.
I'm working out the threads of the third Red Piccirill novel COLLECTED SONGS OF SONNELION. So not ready to write this one yet. It's going to be incredibly dark for Red. It's going to break my heart to write. But I know I have to get to it at some point because this is the book that mostly shapes who Red is in the Division novels Nursery Rhymes 4 Dead Children, The Dampness of Mourning, and The Patron Saint of Infinite Sorrow.
Also working on the threads of a very touching, yet very disturbing, YA novel called A Monster of Many Faces. It's going to tackle issues that have bothered me my whole life and people are going to die (one of them is already dead.)
I'm anxious (somewhat) for when reviews start coming in for all four books coming out this year. I enjoy feedback, and especially enjoy it when people tackle the challenge each story presents. I know not everybody will get them, and not everybody is going to like my work, but I'm grateful some do (some who I have a ton of respect for.)
I've heard news that my Thunderstorm novella is on the fast track and look forward to seeing the finished product. It's going to be a beauty.
I'm very excited that some people are loving the Division story line and characters. I see it all so clearly and its such a massive story it takes my breath away knowing that it came out of my wee little imagination. Crazy.
Feeling very relaxed. No pressure here. But expect some great things.

After reading so many disparate claims about the wattage of PCs, I became curious about my own computers' contribution to the energy budget. If national statistics are hard to pin down, maybe I could at least figure out what proportion of my own household electric bill feeds my digital habits. To make a first crude estimate, I went around the house with a flashlight, crawling under desks to read the power ratings on nameplates. I knew that the result of this exercise would be an overestimate; in fact it proved useless even as an upper bound.
Adding up all the nameplate data suggested that the computer equipment in my home could draw as much as 2,400 watts. This is a fair amount of power; it would fully load a 20-ampere circuit. That the actual consumption can't be anywhere close to this level became apparent when I dug out the old utility bills. For the past two years the average electricity demand for the whole house was 868 watts—roughly a third of the nameplate rating for the computer equipment alone.
Obviously, I needed a better measurement technology. To this end I was aided by Ethan Brand, of Brand Electronics in Whitefield, Maine, who lent me a digital power meter that measures both demand in watts and cumulative energy consumption in watt-hours. After crawling back under the desk to plug in this instrument, I soon had a clearer picture. A computer rated at 400 watts actually draws about 50 watts in active use; in its standby or "sleep" mode the power consumption falls to 3 watts. The color monitor attached to this computer uses more power than the CPU—97 watts in active mode, 6 watts when sleeping.
Adding up figures for all of the monitored equipment, I found that the most I could manage to consume was about 700 watts—and I could get near that level only by having three computers simultaneously spit out pages from three printers, while at the same time I scanned a photograph and burned a CD-ROM. The typical wattage reading, at times when I was working, ranged from 150 to 170 watts. Note that this is right on target according to Koomey.
But that's not the end of the story. I left the monitor attached to the big bundle of power cords under the desk, measuring total energy consumption over 10 days. In 240 hours, some 18,540 watt-hours of electricity flowed through the meter. That works out to an average demand of 77 watts, which implies that computer equipment is responsible for some 9 percent of my electricity consumption.
Of course it would be foolish to extrapolate from my home office to the entire national economy. I have no reason to believe my experience is representative; on the contrary, as someone who writes about computers, I surely spend more time at the keyboard than most people do. But, the fact remains, the proportion of my electric bill that goes to bit-shuffling is far greater than I ever would have guessed. I had assumed that my power consumption would be so dominated by air conditioning, refrigeration, water heating and lighting that the computing load would barely be detectable. Now I know otherwise.

Away from It All in Ojai
Hummingbird Inn • Ojai, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a King or Two-Queen Deluxe Room or a King or Two-Queen Bungalow, Sundays through Thursdays ($93)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in a King or Two-Queen Deluxe Room or a King or Two-Queen Bungalow, Sundays through Thursdays ($163)
- Two Glasses of Wine or Two Draft Beers at The Deer Lodge
The Destination
Ojai played the role of Shangri-La—a sort of earthly paradise—in Frank Capra's 1937 film Lost Horizon. And for good reason. This idyllic valley just 80 miles from Los Angeles is surrounded by the unspoiled mountain landscapes of the Los Padres National Forest, while the beaches of Ventura lie 15 minutes west and the red-roof cityscape of Santa Barbara, often called the American Riviera, beckons day-trippers just 25 miles north. It's all right here in heavenly Ojai.
The Digs
The Hummingbird Inn makes a fine case for Shangri-La, itself, with its namesake hummingbirds flitting about the grounds' manicured gardens, sun deck, and pool area. Each of 31 rooms is adorned with stylish yet homey décor, some with well-preserved hardwood floors and elegant white plantation-style window shutters, and all with crisp white linens, a flat-screen TV, and plenty of sunlight.
Breakfast each morning includes coffee and tea, plus fruit, bagels, and waffles. There's even a juicer for guests to make fresh-squeezed OJ. After you've explored the peaks and valleys of the surrounding Topatopa Mountains, the Spanish-style arcade downtown, and the beaches to the west, inquire at the front desk about a massage, which can be performed in the privacy of your guest room.
The Diversions
• The Deer Lodge
• Suzanne's Cuisine
• Soule Park Golf Course
• Los Padres National Forest
• Lake Casitas
"Our room was extremely clean and chic, with hardwood floors, plenty of storage space, extremely comfy beds (and linens), and a great free breakfast each morning. I definitely recommend the Hummingbird Inn to anyone traveling to the Ojai area!"-- Hotels.com

While school buses are the safest way to transport children to and from school, diesel exhaust from idling school buses can accumulate on and around the bus and pose a health risk, particularly to children. More than 1.7 million children in New England ride a bus to and from school every day.
The New England Asthma Regional Council has developed a table (PDF) (1 pg, 92 K, about PDF) of available retrofit technologies and cleaner fuels options to help school communities, environmental officials, and others make informed decisions about ways to reduce harmful diesel emissions from older model year school buses. In addition, several New England States are having tremendous success working closely with school transportation associations and school districts to reduce school bus idling. For more information on state actions, please visit the following state web sites:

A 55-year-old Dixon man was convicted Friday by a Yolo County jury for molesting children left in his care, and now faces life in prison for his crimes, according to prosecutors.
The Yolo County District Attorney's Office announced Monday that Kevin Ellis was convicted of five counts of child molestation committed over a five-month period beginning in March 2009, during which time he plied the children with marijuana and pornographic videos.
Authorities say the victims were two boys in fourth and fifth grade at the time of the incidents, and that Ellis was left alone with them at a residence in West Sacramento. The jury heard emotional testimony from those boys and from other family members during the trial in the courtroom of Judge Stephen Mock.
Prosecutors stated that "After one of the boys reported the sexual abuse to an adult relative, the case was reported to the Healdsburg Police Department (where the child was staying at the time of the initial report). Healdsburg police soon learned there was another victim and that all of the sexual assaults occurred in West Sacramento."
Ellis was arrested at his Dixon home on March 9, 2012.
The other victim was living in Fresno when the incidents came to light, and West Sacramento police conducted their investigation with help from both Healdsburg and Fresno police. Original reports from the victims were obtained by the Yolo County Multi-Disciplinary Interview Center and the Fresno Healing Center, according to prosecutors.
Ellis is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 22 in Mock's courtroom. He faces multiple life sentences in state prison under the Sex Offender Punishment, Control and Containment Act of 2006, according to prosecutors.

just use ear plugs, not that it helps but you will feel better when they are out. muttman
should of added that Ill be geting a bolt and carrier for my pistol build and will be in the dog house soon. muttman
Live alone, nobody to listen to except the demons in your head that's what I do. Then just buy and build!
I have converted dozens of Suomi bolts and I have an BATFE letter. I fought the conversion for a good year. Most of those bolts remain at 55Rc. Now that was a lesson. Strip the bolt and heat it at 900F for 1.5 hours. The hardness will drop to 40/45Rc. That is still plenty tough and more machinable. The firing pin hole is NOT concentric to the OD of the bolt. It never had to be concentric in an open bolt design. I built special tools for bolt turning and firing pin removal.
Thanks Tommer, what are your thoughts on rehardening an annealed bolt after machinine?

UTSA computer-sci professor earns $400K NSF award
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(May 31, 2007)--Carola Wenk, UTSA assistant professor of computer science, was awarded a five-year, $400,000 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study geometric shape handling in theory and practice.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up

The CAREER award is NSF's most prestigious honor for junior faculty members and supports exceptionally promising college and university faculty members committed to the integration of research and education. Wenk is the only junior faculty member in the UTSA College of Sciences with a current NSF CAREER Award.
Wenk, who joined UTSA in 2004, is bridging the gap between theoretical research and applications by integrating theoretical algorithms research with real-world applications such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS), car navigation systems and computational proteomics. In the interdisciplinary field of computational biology, computational proteomics applies the techniques of computer science, applied mathematics and statistics to the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions.
In Greece last summer, Wenk used data from GPS receivers in school buses and taxis to develop real-time traffic estimation and prediction systems.
"I would like to apply similar technology here in San Antonio and maintain a database for each road segment to determine current travel situations using GPS receivers in cars traveling all over this area," said Wenk.
Additionally, the CAREER award could help create advancements in the medical industry as Wenk and her students develop novel computational tools to analyze two-dimensional electrophoresis gels. The gels provide two-dimensional images that can help determine the composition of protein samples benefiting the development of pharmaceutical products.
"This medical imaging technology could help doctors examine a medically processed sample for drops in protein levels and determine whether a certain illness was present," said Wenk.
Wenk received bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in math and computer science from Free University of Berlin and completed her postdoctoral research at The University of Arizona in Tucson.
This month, she also received UTSA's 2007 President's Distinguished Achievement Award for Research Achievement for Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty.


text: I was spending some time with my bees the last week (beautiful weather) and noticed eggs and larvae as well as some new comb. They are bringing in a lot of pollen and making some new honey. I had to make an emergency hive change, disrupting them quite a bit in the process. Is it too early to start spring feeding to get them to make new comb and brood? Thanks!

Some use it to gain constructive criticism on their work, posting just a few photos at a time.
Others fill up their space with photos that they want to share with family and friends (a perfectly valid use) and tend to bulk upload their images, especially when they first join.
This has the unfortunate side-effect of "flooding" the Recent Photos section, which the first set of people use a lot.
I'd argue that both uses are fine, but what do you all think?
But there should be some kind of balance between the two legitimate uses, I would think, as well as recognition about how the majority (or, at least, the most active) members tend to use the site. I, for one, do not use the gallery as a bulk-upload area that I share with family; I'm here for the comments on my photos and to look at and learn from other people's work.
I don't know the demographic breakdown between the two kinds of uses of the gallery, but they do tend to be at odds with one another, don't they? Someone who just wants to populate his/her gallery (and, therefore, loads a lot of photos at once) unintentionally screws up the primary navigation mechanism for those who want to use the site to share criticism, comment, etc.
Surely there's a way to support both kinds of users, without having them step on one another's toes. Providing a bulk upload mechanism that dumps the photos into one's gallery in a private area, without putting them on the main page (as someone else suggested) is a solution that could accomodate both uses of the gallery--coupled, of course, with clear instructions to new members.
Just my thoughts, for whatever they're worth.

Un apartamento precioso para parejas. Muy céntrico. El anfitrión a pesar de no verle en persona ha estado muy atento y su ayudante también. Si volviera no dudaría en repetir en este apartamento u otro de Luís.
Una experiencia inolvidable, tanto por la ciudad como por la atención y amabilidad de Luis, quien nos recomendó qué ver, dónde comer y qué hacer, revelando esos pequeños secretos que una ciudad guarda para sus habitantes.
El apartamento genial, limpio, recogido, céntrico y con un pequeño patio adorable.
Todo perfecto. La casa estaba muy limpia y bien equipada. Luis nos mandó información muy detallada sobre lugares de interés en Córdoba nos sirvió mucho. Lo recomiendo!

We were very content with the flat in Cordoba and the service Luis offered to us:
The flat was very tidy, close to the city center and nevertheless quiet and in a good modern shape. The whole communication with Luis ran absolutely proper, clear , prompt and reliable: Compliment!
Stunning apartment. We wanted to live there permantly! Such a lovely space with all new retrofittings and renos. Looks very new and clean. Kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are all very large. Shampoo, body wash and towels provided. Hairdryer in bathroom. Building is beautiful and has a lift 1/2 way up to apartment. Well located for about a 10/15 min walk to everything you will want to visit. Absolutly no noise at night except for a few kids playing in the courtyard below.
Luis was impeccable with his communication and a very gracious and concerned host. He even booked us a cab to the train station. A very thoughful and kind host! Thanks Luis!! ;)
Written for English-only speakers. Luis and his associates are extremely helpful and were quickly to our aid when we ran into a couple of problems. Their English isn't great but you can get your message across if you work at it. The rental itself needed a bit of work but I told Luis about the things that needed maintenance and he promised to get them fixed; I trust that he will. It could also use a few more supplies; for example, there is nothing to open beer bottles in the drawers. Very comfortable furniture. Its location is fabulous – just off the E-5/A-4, with parking available at 8 Euros a day in a lot 100 meters from the apartment. The apartment itself is in a building on a walkway with only occasional motorcycle traffic and quite quiet. It is 5 minutes walking from the Roman Bridge, 10 from the Mosque, 15 from the Jewish Quarter and Alcazar. Two warnings though – you need to be able to navigate a lot of stairs as the apartment is in the second story and the bedrooms on the third. And you need to be agile to get into and out of the main bed.
Very comfortable appartment in a nice condo, 3 minutes walk to the mezquita
Probably the most enjoyable experience I've ever had with Wimdu. The apartment is comfortable and beautiful. The apartment is just behind the Mezquita, and the central district. The host is very nice and helpful, he took care of us during our stay. He gave us also some suggestions for the restaurant and other useful information about Cordoba. I think, if I will return in Cordoba, I will call Luis!
Luis has a nice apartment, good located and exactly as described. Luis assistant Manuel has helped us with our luggage - a very friendly offer! Thank you. If you come with car you can park in a car park just a few minutes away. Overall the property is very good value for the money, fully recommendable!

Flu most serious in different age group than normal
COLUMBIA, Mo. - One strain of flu is proving to be deadly in Mid-Missouri, according to medical sources.
These sources tell ABC 17 News the flu is responsible for multiple deaths in our area. The Missouri State Health Department and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) have not been able to confirm this because of the holiday.
The CDC did put out a warning about the severity of this flu.
Health officials said the majority of flu cases seen in Missouri have been a strain similar to H1N1 from 2009. This year's flu is different, though, because doctors said it's been hitting otherwise healthy young to middle-aged people the hardest.
Dr. Scott Schultz at Providence Urgent Care said he's seen a huge increase in these flu cases in just the last week.
"We had five or 10 cases just the other day, and we only expect that to increase when the students come back," Schultz said.
This increase also means more flu-related hospitalizations, intensive care unit treatments, and deaths, according to the CDC.
This aggressive strain is being blamed for killing these young to middle-aged people.
"This is different from typical influenza, which usually hits extreme ages like very young or old people," Schultz said. "Influenza can cause an inflammatory response in the body that will cause the body to go downhill, and there's no way to stop it sometimes, so it leads to death."
Schultz pointed out that there are other bugs going around Mid-Missouri that resemble the flu, but with a few key differences.
"A cold is going to give you a runny or stuffy nose, a low-grade fever, and some minor body aches. Influenza will give you a high fever, muscle aches, chills, and sweating, and you won't want to do anything," Schultz said.
He recommends going to the doctor if you are feeling sick at all.
And while it is still early in flu season, Schultz and the CDC is recommending anyone who hasn't gotten a flu shot yet to do so now.

James D. Boyd, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Kerry Willis
Key Dates

On August 17, 2001, Inland Empire Energy Center, LLC (IEEC) filed an Application for Certification with the California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) seeking approval to construct and operate the Inland Empire Energy Center. On March 11, 2005, the Energy Commission received a petition from IEEC to amend the Energy Commission Decision for the Inland Empire Energy Center Power Project.The amended project is located on approximately 46-acres in the city of Menifee, within Riverside County. The project site is bordered by McLaughlin Road to the south, San Jacinto Road to the east, Antelope Road to the west, and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway to the north.
The new configuration consists of two GE 107H combined-cycle systems (H System). The H System represents GE's latest gas turbine technology providing superior fuel economy and environmental performance. The net energy center power output, after taking away auxiliary loads of 20 MW, is approximately 790 MW. The project connects the on-site switchyard to the existing Southern California Edison Valley substation located approximately one-mile east of the project site via a new 500 kV transmission line. The project also includes the construction of a new 18-inch, 4.7-mile pipeline for the disposal of non-reclaimable wastewater. Sanitary wastewater would be discharged to an existing 33-inch sewer line in McLaughlin Road. The project will use up to 5,000 acre feet per year of recycled water as it is available; initially, raw water would supplement the use of recycled water until it is widely available.
Natural gas is delivered to the facility via Menifee Road pipeline; a new 20-inch pipeline that connects to the existing Sempra Energy transmission lines located approximately one-mile east of the project site.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.
