Steven Tyler Quits American Idol
Steven Tyler announced today that he is leaving as judge of American Idol.
According to his release statement, Tyler says,
After some long…hard…thoughts…I've decided it's time for me to let go of my mistress 'American Idol' before she boils my rabbit, I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I'm back, but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I've got two fists in the air and I'm kicking the door open with my band.
Tyler went on to say that he's going to spend the next few years
kicking some serious ass — the ultimate in auditory takeover.
He ends by plugging the new Aerosmith album, Music from Another Dimension, and adding,
Idol was over-the-top fun, and I loved every minute of it…Now it's time to bring Rock Back.
American Idol creative and executive producer Simon Fuller said in a statement,
I completely understand Steven's desire to get back to his life as the singer in America's greatest-ever rock band. American Idol will miss him!
Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson are still judges on the show as of this moment, though J-Lo mused Thursday morning on NBC's Today show that it "may be time" for her to go.

And that's why this is the Treatment-Free Forum. It's about the bees, not about what's in the honey.
And that's why this is the Treatment-Free Forum. It's about the bees, not about what's in the honey.
As I pointed out a while ago, the beeswax supply is contamininated with mg. quantities of pesticides. If you use commercial foundation or coated frames, guess what?
So, one of the other steps to treatment free beekeeping is figuring out how to avoid that pitfall.
Going foundationless fixes that but takes a little more work. (it's worth it) and so much cheaper.
Just so we don't have anymore rocket scientist type remarks..... everything is made up of chemicals duh.
Everything has a positive or negative effect. Though it might not be direct. There are over 800 known mites and microbes in a healthy hive less than 1% are damaging to the bee. Some help ferment bee bread and other such useful things.
Treating bees for varroa kills the majority of the good guys with the bad.
I do agree there are times to use feed. Though I will never be convinced that there is any feed better than nectar and honey. If the difference between a worker and a queen is the diet of a matter of days then I want only the best for my stock. I am not a big fan of feeding queen rearing hives artificial feed. Also HFCS is commonly known to have a host of pesticide and herbicidal residue.
Sure bottom line is that it is best to keep bees from these harmful chemicals. But like the human body honeybees thankfully can stand a certain degree of chemical presence. The less the better.
Each of us has different variables to deal with so who can judge those who aren't as far along as the other? Rome was not built........
But as my Grandpa always says your either growing or dying.
I hope you're not taking the tack my 93 year old uncle takes. When I tell him I'm an organic gardener, he snorts and says, "Everyone is an organic gardener."
He's referring to that organic chemistry course he took 60 years ago.
Mark Berninghausen
I think I can still call him Sol. We're 'frenemies'.
Yes, sqkcrk, bees will bring contaminants into the hive. This includes radioisotopes as well!
I believe Mr. WLC threw a fit last time someone called him something he didn't like. Got the moderator involved and everything.
I'm still waitng for Barry to apologize.
i'm not a rocket scientist kamom, but i am degreed in neurophysiology. (mark, i can see why you wanted to delete your similar comment). the point i was trying to make is that all of nature is chemistry and i believe it's a bit arbitrary to label substances good, bad, or otherwise based on if they occur naturally or are synthesized by humans.
it's more accurate to say that (most) everything has a positive and negative effect. i assume the varroa treatment you are referring to is the use of an organic acid, which some have shown to alter gut microbia. the positive effect of eliminating death by varroa has to be balanced by the negative effect of possibly altering gut microbia.
all treatments (as well as no treatments) have to be assessed in terms of the risk vs. the benefit ratio. and as you well point out, those get to be determined by the individual and are generally based on what outcome is being sought. no judgement here.
sorry for the duh.. comment.

We've already been down this little country road before:
btw WLC, how are those rooftop hives of yours doing? Did they all make it through the winter?

incredible, a full medium yeilds about 3 gallons of honey @ 12 lbs per gallon. that's 36 lbs. per medium times 12 or more. thats harvesting 400 lbs or more per hive with leaving enough for a three deep colony to overwinter on in northern indiana.

I watched Tims videos.... not impressive at all... hes running 3 deeps for brood, and useing a ladder...... with 3 deeps as brood, he should be filling a super a week, all year...... looks to me to be a poor use of wooden ware, and a nightmare for the back... and where the bees in those supers??
to each his own, but there's no way i would want to work those skyscraper hives.
my guess is that those 12 or more supers harvested weren't completely full of honey, but i'm only speculating.
rh mentions that 'tim does not feed', but the first box removed in the unwrapping video is a feeding rim, probably for mountain camped dry sugar.
i not trying to play 'gotcha' here. tim has some unique management practices, i wish he was willing and able to share them here on the forum.

Barry, they starved. I took the opportunity to switch from VSH to Bee Weavers though.
I found a listing online of his harvesting schedule, and figured out that he seemed to be taking 600 to 700 lbs of honey from his boomers. He has stated explicitly to me that he does not feed. I believe it because he's also said that he used to be a sugar addict himself. He started keeping bees right after he stopped eating sugar.
I'm not the only person who has found Tim's hives impressive. Randy Oliver has too.
But what does he know, right?
wow, that is impressive. if you mean 600-700 lbs from each boomer, that's pushing 20 medium supers harvested and still leaving enough for winter with no feeding. got to be an all time record.
i'm no olympian, but i'm in decent shape. a full medium super is about as much weight as my lower back can handle.
i had a couple of hives reach four mediums over a single deep last year, and that fourth one was just a little bit too high for my liking. going up and down a ladder with them would not be for me.
obviously tim's in great shape and doesn't mind tearing those big hives down each time he adds a super, as he likes to put each new one above the third deep.

Science Past from the issue of September 22, 1962
By Science News, 13:03 PM September 6, 2012
PIGMENT MAY HELP VISION — The same chemical that gives you that golden tan from the summer sun may also help you to see. The brown pigment, melanin, may take part in controlling the messages sent from the eye to the brain, Lieut. Raymond J. Sever, U.S. Navy, told the American Chemical Society in Atlantic City. Melanin is found in the retina, the light sensitive part of the eye. Here, the energy of light is picked up and changed into nerve impulses. It is not known how this is done, he said. ...

Agriculturists Vs. Animal Advocates

In 2008, almost two-thirds of California voters passed Proposition 2, the Standards for Confining Farm Animals initiative.
This initiative - supported by animal advocates to phase out certain enclosures for veal calves, breeding sows and egg-laying hens so they have room to move - was expected to spark reforms in other states. And last year, it did: Maine, Michigan and Ohio took measures to address animal welfare, and what happened in Ohio made livestock producers elsewhere aware that they, too, could be proactive on this issue.
Almost two-thirds of Ohio voters approved a Legislature-referred constitutional amendment, Issue 2, to create a state board for setting farm animal welfare guidelines. Ohio's proposed board would consist of farmers, veterinarians, consumers, a dean from a state agricultural college and a county humane society representative.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) lamented the measure because the group sees the board as an "empty" action. Other states that have tried to implement state standards (via their state departments of agriculture) ended up adopting standards that HSUS doesn't support. This makes Paul Shapiro, senior director of the HSUS Factory Farming Campaign, skeptical that a state board can implement what his group considers humane reforms. "They give the appearance of regulation when in reality, they often amount to allowing the foxes to guard the henhouse," says Shapiro.
Livestock and poultry producers argue that animal welfare is an important issue to them - that their livelihood depends on taking care of their animals. The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, however, thought there were multiple ways to arrive at animal care standards and wanted to include local farmers in that process, says Joe Cornely, spokesman for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation.
The American Farm Bureau Federation considers Ohio's Issue 2 a model for the agriculture community in being proactive on animal welfare issues, and invited Ohio leaders to share their experiences at its recent annual conference. Ohio legislators are currently drafting guidelines for the board, and lawmakers in Missouri are considering introducing legislation to create its own livestock board. While Ohio's board may be a model, it's still privy to HSUS influence: The group intends to gather signatures for a 2010 initiative requiring the board to adopt minimum standards for allowing certain animals the ability to move.

SNC-Lavalin Bribery Allegations: Saadi Gaddafi Got $160 Million For Contracts, RCMP Says
Canadian engineering giant SNC-Lavalin paid $160 million in bribes to the son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in order to secure contracts in the North African country, according to RCMP documents obtained by the National Post and La Presse.
According to the documents, which were used by the RCMP to obtain a search warrant for a raid on SNC-Lavalin headquarters last spring, the company's former head of construction, Riadh Ben Aissa, was responsible for funnelling the money to Saadi Gaddafi, the Post reported.
The 39-year-old son of the deceased Libyan leader is wanted by Interpol and has been granted asylum in Niger.
Some of the bribe money was allegedly used to purchase luxury yachts and even a condo in Toronto, La Presse reported.
Swiss authorities arrested Ben Aissa last April, alleging fraud and conspiracy, but have remained vague on the details.
But according to an email from an "anonymous insider," obtained by the CBC, Ben Aissa "organized more than 300 million [dollars in] payments to shell companies acting as intermediaries between SNC-Lavalin and the Libyan government (ie the Gaddafi family)" since the early 1990s.
The RCMP documents also allege senior SNC executives were involved in a plot to smuggle Saadi Gaddafi out of Libya and into Mexico during Libya's civil war in 2011.
Cynthia Vanier, a Canadian citizen and SNC employee, has been in a Mexican jail for more than a year, accused of aiding the smuggling plot. A judge will soon decide whether to send the case to trial or drop the charges against Vanier.
The documents allege former SNC vice-president of finance Stephane Roy was involved in the plot to smuggle Gaddafi to Mexico. Roy was forced out of the company last spring, as the arrests and allegations surrounding SNC-Lavalin's activities were mounting.
The RCMP documents may shed some light on the arrest of former SNC-Lavalin CEO Pierre Duhaime, who was picked up by Quebec's anti-corruption unit last fall on charges of fraud, conspiracy and use of false documents.
Duhaime resigned as CEO last spring, after an internal company audit found he had signed off on $56 million in questionable payments.
Pierre Duhaime is the former CEO of Quebec engineering firm SNC-Lavalin. Duhaime resigned in March after an internal investigation revealed some $56 million in questionable payments. He was arrested on Nov. 28, 2012. Duhaime served as an executive vice president at SNC Lavalin from 2003-2009 and CEO from 2009-2012. According to the Financial Post, Duhaime received $5 million in severance when he left. Photo: Graham Hughes/CP
SNC-Lavalin, one of Canada's largest engineering firms, has been under scrutiny for various corruption charges. A report stated that employees from the company tried to bribe Bangladeshi officials. The company also faces a money-laundering probe from the Swiss authorities.
SNC-Lavalin is one of the largest engineering firms in the world. In Canada they have worked on such well-known projects as Highway 407 in the GTA, the Montreal subway system and Calgary and Vancouver's light-rail systems.
The company came under fire for its work in Libya. A former SNC-Lavalin executive was accused of funneling cash to the Gaddafi family. The Globe and Mail did an in-depth look at the company's long relationship with Libya. In a 2011 interview with Macleans magazine, Duhaime defended the company's work with the despotic regime including building a prison.
Duhaime spoke out in 2011 against a public inquiry into corruption in Quebec's construction sector. "What is surprising is that the report touches so many areas with so few facts. It surprised me to see a report with so little substance but so many allusions," he said to the Canadian Club in Montreal in September, 2011. Photo: CP Files

Bésame Photography
Although Dianna Ippolito of Bésame Photography is a San Diego native, it was in Europe where she truly honed her craft. After graduating from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, she found herself traveling through the streets of Paris and the watery canals of Venice, snapping shots of passersby, buildings, and landscapes in search of Europe's romantic essence. Since returning to the States, she has featured much of this work in exhibitions across California, and carried that romantic essence with her into all her shoots.
More than 20 years into her career, Dianna knows better than to be a control freak. When snapping photos, she allows brides, infants, and stone-jawed bodyguards to express their emotions naturally, so that every shot feels spontaneous and genuine. She then immortalizes these images in soft, pastel hues or classic black-and-white.

Pre tune CB question...
I recently installed a 3' Firestik II and Midland 75-822 CB unit in my rig and right now I'm waiting on my SWR meter to arrive tomorrow. My questions this...we have minimal CB traffic around here despite being only a few miles from a freeway (which I use often commuting to work). Untuned, I've gotten essentially no communication in RX or TX and was concerned that I had a grounding issue that tuning simply cannot fix. I switched up my mount a bit and was able to get some pretty clear RX communication today albeit sporadic and only on one channel. Since I did get something, am I safe to assume that i am grounded and installed properly and all that's needed is a tuning?
I did pick up a multiple meter today and with me very limited understanding of what I was looking for, things seemed to be okay. That said, I have little confidence in my testing methods and results so I was hoping that simply getting some traffic on the unit meant I was good to go once I tuned it up.

She's always been really friendly to me when I've gone up there (kicking and screaming sometimes), so when I heard she wasnt feeling well I wanted to make her something.
I took the shawl up there but had to give it to her husband to pass on, and never heard anything since.
The Boi just spotted her wearing it around the Ashram - she told him she loves it. She wears it often, and gets lots of compliments when she wears it around Sydney.
Excellent - I hate not knowing whether people like something or not.

Decorated with glens, lochs, and castles, the varied landscapes of Scotland will always make for excellent travelling destinations. It's worth packing a tent and swimming gear so you have the option to pitch up in one of Scotland's numerous area of breath-taking natural beauty. Up in the Highlands, and especially in the islands of the Outer Hebrides, it's hard to believe you are in the British Isles at all. In fact Daniel Start, author of Wild Swimming: Hidden Beaches, says that the white sandy coastlines of Uist, Lewis and South Harris were once mistakenly used in a Thai tourist brochure.
If you are looking for a bit of itinerary inspiration, here are ten ideas about where to visit this summer.
With Edinburgh festival underway, a vibrant city break is an ideal way to start or end your excursions. Pick up some cardamom buns for the road at Peter's Yard Swedish bakery before setting off to explore all that Scotland has to offer. Get your hands dirty at a pick your own farm, or wet your whistle at one of the tours and tastings offered by Glenfiddich whisky distillery. Don't let your best laid plans go awry, make sure your adventures make the most of the Scottish summer.Reuse content

The Dark Side of Apple…and Steve Jobs.
This weekend the New York Times ran an article about Apple and its production of I-phones overseas. Bottom Line Up Front? Steve Jobs could also be a real s**t when it came to his fellow countrymen:
When Barack Obama joined Silicon Valley's top luminaries for dinner in California last February, each guest was asked to come with a question for the president.
But as Steven P. Jobs of Apple spoke,President Obama interrupted with an inquiry of his own: what would it take to make iPhones in the United States?
Not long ago, Apple boasted that its products were made in America. Today, few are. Almost all of the 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads and 59 million other products Apple sold last year were manufactured overseas.
Why can't that work come home? Mr. Obama asked.
Mr. Jobs's reply was unambiguous. "Those jobs aren't coming back," he said, according to another dinner guest.
The president's question touched upon a central conviction at Apple. It isn't just that workers are cheaper abroad. Rather, Apple's executives believe the vast scale of overseas factories as well as the flexibility, diligence and industrial skills of foreign workers have so outpaced their American counterparts that "Made in the U.S.A." is no longer a viable option for most Apple products.
As an American-I am insulted by Mr. Jobs logic. Because if you read on in the article you will find that it would appear that the main reason Apple cannot bring the jobs home is because most American workers would refuse to be treated as slaves-and that somehow there is something wrong with that mindset.
An eight-hour drive from that glass factory is a complex, known informally as Foxconn City, where the iPhone is assembled. To Apple executives, Foxconn City was further evidence that China could deliver workers — and diligence — that outpaced their American counterparts.
That's because nothing like Foxconn City exists in the United States.
The facility has 230,000 employees, many working six days a week, often spending up to 12 hours a day at the plant. Over a quarter of Foxconn's work force lives in company barracks and many workers earn less than $17 a day. When one Apple executive arrived during a shift change, his car was stuck in a river of employees streaming past. "The scale is unimaginable," he said.
Foxconn employs nearly 300 guards to direct foot traffic so workers are not crushed in doorway bottlenecks. The facility's central kitchen cooks an average of three tons of pork and 13 tons of rice a day. While factories are spotless, the air inside nearby teahouses is hazy with the smoke and stench of cigarettes.
Foxconn Technology has dozens of facilities in Asia and Eastern Europe, and in Mexico and Brazil, and it assembles an estimated 40 percent of the world's consumer electronics for customers like Amazon, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, Nintendo, Nokia, Samsung and Sony.
"They could hire 3,000 people overnight," said Jennifer Rigoni, who was Apple's worldwide supply demand manager until 2010, but declined to discuss specifics of her work. "What U.S. plant can find 3,000 people overnight and convince them to live in dorms?"
Well, yea-you could not get Americans to put up with that. But ask yourself why they should have to? What Jobs was in fact saying was that, treating people decently and providing a living wage, needed to come second to his impatient deadlines and the need to clear a gazillon dollars in profit. Foxconn has a documented history of trouble and treating its workers like shit. The point of the article is that Apple just couldn't get that done in the US, and if you read the muted Times' description of Foxconn, or, better yet, listen to those who have told of visiting Chinese factories, it's easy to understand why. Those workers live in dorms which house 13-15 people in bunks in 12 by 12 rooms. They officially work 12 hour days, but often work for up to 16 hours a day, for a little more than Chinese minimum wage (about $1.30/hour if my math is right). Turnover at the plants is estimated at 10-20% per month.
What disgusts me the most is that instead of castigating Apple for being an enabler to such inhumanity-there is a whole horde of people who agree with Jobs that it was somehow all right because the ends justified the means. That;s more than just a little wrong-its a criminal mindset. That there are a lot of Americans who agree with this point of view is more than a little disturbing.
Its not true-Americans can and will produce when properly motivated to do so. That they will not allow themselves to be mindlessly taken advantage of is not a flaw-its a feature. The only thing that distiniguishes the United States is its unwillingness to throw a 1/3 of its population under the bus-the way the stinking Chinese have.
And that there are people who think that is the example we should seek to emulate-is another sign the country is losing its mind. I'll say it again-American workers will produce. But they have a right to be fairly compensated for the effort-and they expect to have their private lives and time respected.
And that's the way its supposed to be. Not the other way around.
That's real capitalism and real democracy. Too bad our Galtian overlords have not grasped that. And shame on the Times for not calling it what it is.

There was a good program about Apple and the factories in Shenzhen on "This American Life" a few weeks ago: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/454/mr-daisey-and-the-apple-factory
Current factory conditions in China aren't too different from those in the US a hundred years ago. Part of it can be explained by the standard of living in China – as bad as conditions are in the factory, it beats subsistence farming in the countryside. But I wonder how long the people of China will put up with it.

Everyone who would bash the UAW should take a close look at how the Chinese treat their workers. Oh, and don't forget that the government owns 50% of those companies. I love what my iPhone can do. I love that I got it for cheap. I hate that people are being worked into the ground for nothing so I can buy it for a low price.

Look at the UAW losers at GM planning to strike at the GM plants making the number two product at government motors and that's the one that the UAW has decided to strike in order to settle 'local' differences. Skippy the problem with you will be that there all of those who studied Econ 101 and understand it and Socialists and communists who continue to insist that ECON is unimportant.
Since exactly when was that ever so? What Utopia leads you and those like you think it was ever so? Maybe when it was the UAW took over Detroit decision making? Maybe when all the steel workers in the US decided that union management knew best how to compete in a global market?

US Trade Policy as practiced by American elected and appointed officials since the 1970''s is at the core of this. The US and Europe dropped their trade barriers, China kept their trade barriers up and pegged their currency to the US dollar to maintain their labor cost advantage.

The UAW did not take over Detroit decision making. The UAW made demands, and the leadership of the US auto companies decided to give them what they wanted rather than fight it. Look at the '90s with the record profits made in the auto industry. This last round of negotiations was exactly that: negotiations. I am not convinced that prior to the 2007 contract (and subsequent modifications during the bankruptcy proceedings) that any negotiating happened at all. For the most part, times were good so the UAW got what they wanted with little resistance from the auto companies. Not so in 2011. There was no "pattern" bargaining, and each contract required an extension to complete the process. As it should be. I believe that the UAW serves a purpose in not allowing the companies to treat the workers as less than human, as I would argue happens in China. I have seen non-union plants here in the US, and I can tell you they are dirtier and appear to be not as well run. I don't agree with what the UAW leadership always does (especially when they get on their communist bent) but I do think the union serves an essential purpose in providing better wages and working conditions for the workers.

I know I take a somewhat belligerent tone with Skippy-san. Told him long ago to ban me. After a wee discussion I don't do it with his guests here. Much.
For all that. You don't see that the UAW gutted Detroit? You fail to notice that the US just doesn't make much steel anymore and the Steelworkers Union is as dead as the dodo as the union continued to drive the business into bankruptcy just as the UAW did with GM et al?
Do you ever wonder why the jobs shifted south out of Detroit? Are those guys in the south exploited and being ground under the heel of the nasty shareholders (most of GM's of which got shorn with nothing to show for it despite the existing laws on bankruptcy?
The aviation unions that took Boeing to the NLRB for their plans to build a new plant in right to work Southeast and demanded that the board strip Boeing of the right to decide where to build plants EVEN IN THE UNITED STATES.
If the unionistas feel a grievance about sending jobs to China then how about they send their union thugs, oops, I mean organizers, to China and have them get about it just like the turn of the 19th Century. You know, put some skin in the game. Buying the NLRB with recess appointments is kind of shameless.
The US% of unionized non public employees is something under 6% now isn't it? Kind of hard to sell the Union thing on top of the tax all profits as windfall and then watch companies like Apple with over a hundred billion $ of asset capital lying around but not accepting that, yes, because of Apple's offshore policies and tax law that that leaves something like $85 billion as offshore profit that they won't return to the US in the face of confiscatory taxes. So, ill begets ill. They'll continue to create jobs overseas with that money and continue to pay dividends. Again, it is basic economics. It's not fuzzy social science or feel goodism, it's what making money on that scale requires. And, if you don't believe that any company should make money on that scale then you won't miss it when they do and refuse to share it with you.

After spending the last 12 years working up here, it has become clear to me that it was more than the union that led Detroit down the path to where it is now. The city of Detroit is a story unto itself with the corruption and nepotism that have destroyed it. As far as the unions and the auto companies, I will reiterate my point: management never fought any of the demands the UAW made when it came to contract negotiation time. Poor product decisions and the old mantra of "they will buy anything we make" were also a big player in it. But who really gave a shit when the companies were pulling in billions in profits in the '90s? You cannot lay the blame solely on the UAW for Detroit's demise. We have a different set of players now, and I believe the resurgence is based on a variety of reasons including the UAW realizing that they need to be team players and that corporate management realizes that they need to really negotiate with the union and not simply sign off on a list of demands. There is also the realization that quality matters, and that poor customer satisfaction will directly determine how many cars and trucks you sell.
I don't disagree with profits and making a return on my investment on the stocks I hold. I certainly appreciate pay raises and performance bonuses. But what is happening in China is beyond words. No one in this country would agree to work in those conditions, at those hours, for that little pay. We would be shutting down the plant and arresting the management. That being said, it is still appalling here in Michigan how some workers are treated, especially at non-union plants. I see it all the time. I still believe that the unions (at least in the auto industry; I see no place for government employee unions–isn't the government supposed to police themselves?) provide a set of checks and balances against sheer exploitation of the workers such as it appears is happening in China.
Obviously, there is a balance, and we have not found it yet. On the other hand, in China there is no balance at all, and the workforce there is exploited to the extreme. I would say we are closer to it here in the US than they are…

We lived for three years at 20 mile road North, SANGB. I'm not just taking shots. Detroit was once home. Year after year after year the citizens of Detroit voted for frogs. That is what they got. A sitting Congressman's wife in jail for her crooked service on the Detroit City council. I know exactly and precisely what drove the city of Detroit down. Institutionalized corruption and mismanagement. But, I'll reiterate, what drove business away was that and the UAW. I would no more set up a factory in there than I would sell my daughter into slavery.

An enjoyable stay during a hiking trip. Very neat rooms, perfectly cleaned, and an extensive breakfast (for hostel conditions) that we didn't expect. Unfortunately there was a bit of noise from the street, but not too dramatic. Tilet/shower facilities sufficient as there were not too many guests at the time.

Cantabrians have been advised to check on friends and neighbours, after the first strong earthquake to rock Christchurch in months.
No reports of injuries or emergency calls were received after the magnitude 4.1 quake this afternoon.
The quake was located 25km south-west of Christchurch, near Darfield, at a depth of 7km.
GeoNet gave the tremor a 5 rating for Mercalli Intensity - the power with which it was felt on the earth's surface.
St John South Island Communications Advisor Ian Henderson said the first sizeable quake felt in Canterbury for some time may have come as a surprise or shock to some.
"We encourage people to keep in touch with each other and check on their friends, family and neighbours, especially people who are on their own.''
Quake-hardened Cantabrians went on social media to record their experiences of the rare jolt, which hit at 3.59pm.
"Sharp jolt in Cashmere. Scared the beejesus out of me,'' said one person on the TradeMe community forum.
Another said: "A wobble and a bit of noise ... first one I've felt in months ... I actually said a rude word!''
On Twitter, Amy Bowie wrote: "I was asleep and it woke me up! Bed was going side to side like a jelly''.
GeoNet received more than 700 felt reports of the earthquake, with most rating it as light intensity.

What is a Literature Review?
What is a Literature Review?
"A literature review is an account of what has been published on a topic by accredited scholars and researchers. Occasionally you will be asked to write one as a separate assignment, ..., but more often it is part of the introduction to an essay, research report, or thesis. In writing the literature review, your purpose is to convey to your reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. As a piece of writing, the literature review must be defined by a guiding concept (e.g., your research objective, the problem or issue you are discussing, or your argumentative thesis). It is not just a descriptive list of the material available, or a set of summaries."
- Taylor, D. (n.d). The literature review: A few tips on conducting it.
What are the goals of creating a Literature Review?
- To develop a theory or evaluate an existing theory
- To summarize the historical or existing state of a research topic
- Identify a problem in a field of research
- Baumeister, R.F. & Leary, M.R. (1997). Writing narrative literature reviews. Review of General Psychology, 1(3), 311-320.
What kinds of literature reviews are written?
- Systematic review: "The authors of a systematic review use a specific procedure to search the research literature, select the studies to include in their review, and critically evaluate the studies they find." (p. 139). Nelson, L.K. (2013). Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders. San Diego, CA: Plural Publishing.
- Meta-analysis- "Meta-analysis is a method of reviewing resarch findings in a quantitative fashion by transforming the data from individual studies into what is called an effect size and then pooling and analyzing this information. The basic goal in meta-analysis is to explain why different outcomes have occured in different studies." (p. 197). Roberts, M.C. & Ilardi, S.S. (2003). Handbook of Research Methods in Clinical Psychology. Malden, MA: Blackwell Pub.

Issue No. 06 - Nov.-Dec. (2013 vol. 15)

The history of high-performance computing (HPC) spans almost seven decades, and has seen a factor of 10 trillion increase in speed since the first-generation vacuum-tube-based von Neumann computers of the late 1940s. This extraordinary advance greatly exceeds that of any other human technology. And it's not that we initially got it wrong and then later finally got it right. Rather, each decade saw a performance gain of at least two orders of magnitude, steadily harnessing the accumulating advances of the basic enabling device technologies in logic, memory, and data communication. Despite this apparent consistency of progress, the technologies driving performance growth as well as the innovations in programming models and operational methods that have delivered it have changed markedly and repeatedly to sustain this growth.
In the most recent epoch, after 20 years of improvements to the multiprocessor, distributed-memory message-passing strategy, significant changes are taking place, again driven by technological change. Teraflops were achieved in 1997 and Petaflops in 2008. This last milestone was accomplished without significant disruption to programmers employing conventional methods, despite a dramatic change occurring in 2004/2005, in which the speed of the individual processor core flat-lined due to limitations in power consumption. However, it was clear, even then, that scaling current technologies to exaflops through incremental extensions of past practices would consume much too much power to be practical. This special issue of CiSE addresses the deep questions of the challenges currently facing sustained performance growth to exascale and beyond, the opportunities to do so, the new architecture designs that might make it possible, and the programming models and support software methods that will employ it for future applications in science, technology, commerce, and defense.
What the Future Holds—and Still Needs
The advent of multicore sockets and GPU accelerators offer possible performance growth through raw semiconductor technology improvements, but also impose unprecedented challenges in efficiency, scaling, power, and reliability, as well as programmer productivity. Achieving exaflops speed will require new programming techniques, but what of the billions of dollars of investment in past software development and mainstream markets? How will the field of HPC continue to leverage the strength of COTS technologies and the economy of scale of mass-produced computing and memory components if exascale may need something different? Will the highest-end systems become increasingly limited in the classes of problems they can serve, or will new execution models, architectures, and programming techniques evolve to meet these challenges? This special issue of CiSE brings together expert views to illuminate the possible approaches.
Before we get more deeply into the challenges of exascale computing, we should talk briefly about the need. From November 2008 to October 2009, there was a series of eight Scientific Grand Challenges Workshops (sponsored by the US Department of Energy Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research and coordinated by Paul Messina) that asked scientists to assess their need for exascale computing. The workshops covered climate science, high-energy physics, nuclear physics, fusion energy, nuclear energy, biology, material science and chemistry, and national security. The workshop reports ( http://science.energy.gov/ascr/news-and-resources/workshops-and-conferences/grand-challenges) detail what could be done with exascale computers.
In December 2009, Rick Stevens and Andy White led a workshop on architectures and technology for extreme-scale computing that brought together scientists and computer scientists from industry, national laboratories, and universities to examine the challenges, some of the potential solutions, and the research that would need to be done to achieve exascale computing by 2018. A key concept is the codesign of the hardware, system software, and applications software to assure that they all work together. Three codesign teams have been funded to study materials in extreme environments, advanced reactors, and combustion in turbulence ( http://science.energy.gov/ascr/research/scidac/co-design). There's also an ongoing international effort in software design ( www.exascale.org).
If you don't expect to be computing at the exascale level, is there a reason for you to be interested in the current issue? We think so—because the technology that will be needed for exascale will require great improvements in energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness at the node level, this technology might also wind up on your desktop, and departmental systems at the petaflop/s level might become affordable. Although your level of concurrency might be smaller than required for exascale, it will be much higher than what's required on today's desktops.
Contributions to This Special Issue
We kick off this issue with "Exascale Computing Trends: Adjusting to the 'New Normal' for Computer Architecture," by Peter Kogge and John Shalf. Kogge chaired a 2008 DARPA-funded study on technology challenges of building exascale systems ( www.cse.nd.edu/Reports/2008/TR-2008-13.pdf). Kogge and Shalf detail why the single-processor speed increases we've seen in the past won't continue, and how the key to exascale computing is a vastly increased level of parallelism and much greater attention to data movement. They also discuss how many picojoules a floating-point operation or a dynamic RAM (DRAM) access cost now and in the future.
The second article—"Programming for Exascale Computers," by Bill Gropp and Marc Snir—deals with the quite significant challenges ahead for application developers who want to know whether their codes will need to be completely rewritten. At this point, the answer isn't completely clear, but Gropp and Snir summarize what programmers will be dealing with, what approaches will be feasible, and the pros and cons of trying to evolve current code to exascale hardware.
Finally, in "PaRSEC: Exploiting Heterogeneity to Enhance Scalability," George Bosilca and his colleagues describe a runtime system and technique for programming that help the application programmer spend less time concentrating on the details of the hardware and how the data needs to be distributed among the processors. This approach to programming should be a real help when dealing with heterogenous compute nodes, and can be tested and used well before the dawn of exascale hardware.
We hope that you enjoy this issue, and we can assure you that you'll be hearing about exascale computing for quite some time. Although the authors for this special issue topic are currently working in the US, the effort to produce hardware and software for computing at the exascale level is an international one. We wouldn't be surprised to see the first exascale computer produced outside the US.

First as far as the heat goes. Does the blower not work? Meaning when you say you don't have heat, do you mean air is coming out but it's not hot, or is there no air coming out of the vents at all? If it is the latter and there is no air coming out, it is probably your Final Stage Resistor. Costs about 50 bucks online and is pretty easy to replace. Just search the site for a DYI on that.
Second. The cheapest way to test your alarm issue would be to just replace the battery in the key. It's not exactly the simplest DYI due to the fact that the battery is not removable and the key is sealed, but it can be done. You need to slice the key open using a blade of some sort (be careful), once you open up the key you will see how the battery is attached to the small circuit board.
You can then clip the terminal that is attached to the battery so you can remove it. (you might be able to use a soldering iron and heat it up and remove it that way, I forget honestly since its been about 6 years since I had to do this on mine. Once you have the battery out you can look up the type of battery and order a new one online.
I ordered mine from Mouser Electronics for like a buck fifty plus shipping. Then just pop the battery in and solder the terminals back to it like the old one and then be careful when closing the key back up making sure not to break any of the components on the inside. Reseal using superglue.
You COULD also just order a new key from the dealership which will run you about 250 bucks. But if you have the patience it is WAYYYYYYY cheaper going the DYI route.
Something seems fishy though to be honest. I can't imagine the car isn't supposed to disable the alarm when opening it from the key cylinder on the door. Who knows though.
Edit: Read another thread by you on the heat issue, It seems you are getting air. I know this may sound stupid, but there is a center control right between the 2 middle airvents that goes up for heat and down for cold air, sometimes people miss that thinking the electronic control is the only way to control the temp of the air coming out. Just figured I would mention that in case.
Hot-cold dial I have already tried. The vents all blow, but auto does nothing. No air blowing out the vents when I push auto.
As for the key, if I replace the battery, do I have to reprogram it. Just asking, because I dont have a spare. Car only came with one key. And would a bad battery in the key cause my cluster light to stay on?

Love the 1969 Cars Motorcade renderings! These best represent the beautiful designs produced at General Motors from '67 through '69. Gorgeous lines all exactly where they should be. I seem to recognize some of these from magazines such as Motor Trend which I subscribed to as a teenager.
I had the pleasure of participating in the 1973 GM Summer Design Intern program where I designed a 5-passenger luxury car ("MRT"). It remains the grandest experience of my life and still fuels my passion for creating my own car design renderings. One garnished me an honorable mention in the 2011 Studebaker Design contest.
Thank you for posting these wonderful drawings, articles, and videos. It is truly an exciting site.

As for subbing the bit of quinoa flour- if you like a dense whole grain cookie, sub it with a whole grain high protein flour like brown rice flour, buckwheat flour or millet flour. For a lighter taste try rice flour or even tapioca starch. xox (These changes may affect crispness and/or baking time.)

I ground my own quinoa flour in a Blentec blender (way cheaper than buying the flour ground!) and I used 1/3 C. canola and 1/3 C. EVOO ( I didn't know if EVOO would sub for "light olive oil" and I didn't want it all strong flavor of olive oil- worked great! Then I baked a batch and froze a second in dough balls to pull out when I want a tasty treat.

But now that I'm on a dedicated mission to learn to LOVE and embrace quinoa...I tried them again and had much better results. Problem was...I was doing my pre-GF baking tip of slightly underbaking cookies. Doesn't work so well with GF stuff, especially quinoa. They kinda turn wet the next day. So I baked these cookies yesterday and, because of my determination & quinoa-loving mission, I RE-BAKED them today (seriously, will I ever follow directions??!)....and all I can say is FAB-U-LOUS! I'm on team quinoa!

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Louisiana's high schools leaders sparred Tuesday over new plans for football playoffs that would separate the playoffs for traditional public high schools from those involving private, magnet and charter schools.
Public school principals who pushed the separation told lawmakers the other schools have an unfair advantage because they have more resources and can cherry-pick their students — and football players.
"We don't get to pick the brightest or the strongest or the richest kids," said Jane Griffin, principal of Winnfield Senior High School and sponsor of the split playoff system rule that was approved by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association.
Leaders of the private and charter schools said the change is a form of segregation pushed by public school leaders who resent successful private school football programs. They said the split playoff system tells students if they don't win, they can just change the rules to favor them.
"It's offensive to assume if you succeed, you must be doing something wrong. And where does this all end? Does this go to math competitions?" said Myra Mansur, athletic director of Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge.
The new playoff system will take effect with the upcoming football season, after high school principals voted overwhelmingly for the change at the LHSAA convention.
All schools will continue to compete in the regular season under the same divisions they have used for years, but the rules change in the postseason competition.
Five football championships will be held for the traditional public schools, called "non-select" schools. Two other division championships will be held for private and parochial schools, magnet schools, charter schools and laboratory schools, called "select schools" based on the idea that they can choose the students who attend.
Lawmakers created a special committee to review the playoff change, saying they had received calls from parents in their districts concerned about reworking a system that had been in place for 92 years.
They heard from principals and coaches for more than four hours Tuesday, but said they didn't want to meddle in determining the system rules. Also, it's unclear what authority the Legislature has since the state Supreme Court ruled the LHSAA is a private firm.
"You are the experts in this, and I would implore of you to solve your problem within your organization," said Sen. Ronnie Johns, R-Lake Charles.
Supporters of the split system repeatedly referred to two powerhouse high school football programs that together have won 38 football championships since 1921: John Curtis Christian School in Jefferson Parish and Evangel Christian Academy in Shreveport.
"When a school is able to dominate for 30 years, then something is going on," Griffin said.
Public school principals and football coaches talked of students from other states and other districts being recruited by private schools to improve football teams and private schools choosing scholarship recipients based on sports ability. But they acknowledged their accusations usually weren't forwarded to the LHSAA for investigation.
Kenny Henderson, executive director of the athletic association, said he didn't have any evidence to back up the claims.
Coaches from John Curtis and Evangel defended their schools' performance and said they didn't do anything improper to win football championships.
"I refuse to make an apology for being successful at what we do," said J.T. Curtis, headmaster and head football coach at John Curtis, leading the team to 25 titles during his tenure.
Phillip Deas, football coach at Evangel Christian Academy, said the high school athletic association has audited the school's academic and financial records, finding nothing that violates association rules.
"Maybe we work harder, maybe we teach a different way of thinking, maybe we do something at our place that produces champions in every way of life," Deas said.
He added: "What does a state championship mean if you have eliminated the greatest competition?"
Public school principals and coaches said they weren't trying to rig the system, but were trying to create an equal playing field for schools.
