In another world I did get to ride in a 1933 Rolls Royce Woodie. We drove the old girl for about a 35 mile round trip. Oz, picked up the Car in England in the 1970's, had her shipped home to America. He thought it was a good investment at the time...and I believe he was right. However my favorite automotive strut about was his was a convertible Packard with a golf club port behind the front seat and a vacation box which attached to the back. All fricking original down to the top....restored by a guy who worked for packard......then there was the Model T Ford Farm Truck , with an oak flat bed and canopy with mica windows inserted into a leather arrangement covering the flat bed. He said people always wanted him to paint it something other than the flat black...and he said no because that is the way Mr. Ford wanted it so it will stay that way.
Oh by the way I grew up in a family of the Automotive mechanically inclined....me however was the designated flashlight holder or the automotive light holder so me dad could see what the hell he was doing in the middle of winter on a dark night. This was usually so my mum would have a car to drive to the University the next morning. Ya my ma went back to school when she had six kids in elementary and secondary school....To this day I loath working on automotive problems, but I know I'm capable so I do it....but I always double the amount of time it is going to take to resolve the problem. I do the basics... leave the real work to the professionals....but every time I see the cost per hour....it makes me think twice.
The following is what I want:
A. Morphosis to break up/fail
B. Thom Mayne to live in new york city.
I want this in six years. Make it happen, people.
You live in NY and want Thom to enter your local dating pool, in other words?
I love Mobius strips. Always have, always will.
morning all
I am. I week an counting for vacation/roadtrip to CO and back. Can't wait. Any tips for places to visit in KC, Denver, ST. Louis or Chatanooga?
Donna, I just mentioned Mobius strips in the "paper modeling" thread. What made you think of them? (did I miss something in TC?) Nam, have you ever been to Colorado before? Microbreweries are quite abundant here. City Museum in St Louis is a must-see. http://citymuseum.org/site/
Anything by El Dorado in Kansas City.
Any event that Bread! KC is doing (also in Kansas City).
The condo building across the street from the Denver Art Museum - one of only two Libeskind projects in which I can find any merit.
Boulder. And outside of Boulder, I.M.Pei's National Center for Atmospheric Research.
there is no there, I watched a little video explaining how the universe can be both infinite and bounded, and it mentioned Mobius strips, which are, in two dimensions, both infinite and bounded.
A Mobius strip can only exist in three dimensions. Every point on a Mobius strip has an x,y,z, coordinate. It is not two dimensional.
Not exactly how I would define "infinite".
A möbius strip is simply a single sided surface, at least in theory. A single-sided 3D shape is known as a Klein bottle, and unlike a möbius strip it has no edge boundaries.
@there is no there
been to CO but not for about 15 yrs. wasn't drinking at time, can't wait to try out the various beers etc...
Lived in St. Louis when i was younger for a few years and so am quite familiar with City Museum, awesome place!
thanks Donna
Sarah, no power steering? Do you have strong arms?
Nam, if you want to do some hiking, there are some fabulous trails around I.M. Pei's laboratory that Donna mentioned. For tea time, try the http://www.boulderteahouse.com/ . Also near Denver, is the Red Rocks Amphitheatre and they have a nice visitor's center too. In Denver, check out the arts district on Santa Fe Ave. For brew pubs, try Vine Street Pub in Denver or Mountain Sun or their other location Southern Sun in Boulder.
Oh, and personally, I think the toroid is a good model for expressing bounded infinity.
As for your "valoor" interior, are you sure it isn't maroon instead of red? They're not rolling bordellos. Close, but not quite. Two cars ago, the one that went to almost 300,000 (yes, GM) had a maroon "valoor" interior ... and my hand-me down, three cars ago, had the plump blue "valoor" interior, sort of like taking your living room for long road trips. That one was the most comfortable car I've ever owned, and those days are gone. We have capitulated to the Europeans and Japanese. We had no choice. When I got the brochure for my current car, it was gray or tan inside, and that was it.
In St. Louis, you'll want to go to the top of the Gateway Arch, the Science Center, Union Station (less interesting than when it was just redone), and "the Hill," if you like Italian food. I no longer remember the names of the restaurants, but most are reasonably priced.
In Kansas City, you'll want to see the Seville inspired Plaza, the Sprint Arena, the general planning of the city with its fountains and traffic nodes which earned it the name "the Paris of the Plains," and take in the BBQ (barbeque, not Brooklyn-Bronx-Queens). Curt should rattle off a few places.
In Denver, the downtown core itself sucks, but the skyscraper that looks like an electric razor at the top is worth a picture. You should do the loop trip that takes you to granola infested Boulder (the original architecture of UCo-Boulder is beautiful), Estes Park, and then down the mountains to Idaho Springs, where you pick up I-70 again. If you like checking out nice homes in forested suburbs, try Evergreen, Conifer, and Genesee Park. Take in a performing event at Red Rocks amphitheater, or just see it. Yes, there is a microbrewery culture there, but someone else will need to help you with that. I'm sure there's even more to the area.
Quondam: Yes, you're correct. The example given, though, was for a two-dimensional being who only understands and moves in two-dimensional space. Then the examples in the video - including a torus - became more complex and included three dimensions.
I tried twisting a paper Mobius strip into a Klein bottle, but I couldn't.
isn't there an art scene of sorts in "lodo" (lower downtown in denver)? it's been a while, but i remember a few galleries i rather liked. there was an espn sports bar nearby as i recall. it's been a few years, so maybe it all fell apart.
oklahoma joes is widely considered the best barbeque in the area for kansas city. arthur bryant's is one of the old-school classics some of the purists like.
st. louis...
I miss Talayna's salad. it had these deep-fried croutons and some kind of cheese substance - combined with lettuce and their special sauce...
cONFIDENCE IS SEXY.
cADDING CAUSES BIZARRE CAPITALIZATIONS.
Or is it sexiness that brings confidence?
Sexiness brings confidence. Some people erroneously think they are sexy and learn the hard way, or never learn, that their confidence is misplaced.
For some, money and power, in lieu of sexiness, brings them confidence . For that variation, one only needs to listen to the news.
I started a thread.
A line on a plane is a two-dimensional entity. Once the plane (with a line on it) is turned into a möbius strip, then the plane becomes a three-dimensional entity and the line on the plane also becomes a three-dimensional entity.
Think of an architectural plan on a sheet of paper. As long as the paper is laying flat the paper and the lines on the paper are two-dimensional. When you roll up the paper, then the paper and the lines on the paper are three-dimensional.
rolling up paper involves Mary Jane...and she makes you think your seeing 3 dimensional, but everything is still flat.
Flatland by Edwin Abbot
A two-dimensional being can only go only in two dimensions, x and y, therefore a two-dimensional being cannot travel along a mobius strip because the differential of every point on a mobius strip relative to every other point on a mobius strip is three-dimensional, x,y,z.
What the example you saw seemed to leave out is that the (so-called) two-dimensional being traveling along a mobius strip was actually traveling through three-dimensions, thus not actually a two-dimensional being. The actual geometry was being misrepresented.
Q, i am eagerly waiting to take delivery of Volume 1, should be here in a couple of weeks.
Quondam: a 2D surface can exist in 3D space. Such a surface could be warped into a sphere, mobius strip or Klein bottle. A 2D being would simply be warped with the surface and remain unabke to perceive the third dimension. Abbot's Flatland deals precisely with this issue.
Nam- I'd recommend the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga. Also, walk along the waterfront and the old city. I haven't been there in a loooonggg time but have always enjoyed Chattanooga. It''s a beautiful little town.
I did read Flatland in grad school, which is probably why I can easily accept an imaginary being that only exists and perceives two dimensions.
Quondam, I do see what you mean by the geometry being misrepresented. In our multi-dimensional world, it is.
The point of the video was that space can be both infinite and bounded, and the example, along with the examples of toroids and Klein bottles and others I'm forgetting, helped me understand that.
Donna, I too read Flatland, summer 1978, Perry, Missouri. Yes, it is easy to imagine an imaginary being that only exists and perceives two dimensions, and such a two-dimensional being can only exist on a flat plane. The point is, however, that the two-dimensional being cannot percieve three dimensional space, even though three-dimensional space does exist. The two-dimensional being just can't see three-dimensional space just like three-dimensional beings cannot see four dimensional space. Thus, a two-dimensional being cannot travel along a Mobius strip because such a being cannot even percieve a Mobius strip because a Mobius strip is not a flat plane.
beta, I hate to admit it, but right now that just sounds bizarre. ;-)
But isn't the point that the 2D being would *perceive* the Mobius strip *as if it were* a flat plane, even though it isn't? And so similarly we humans can only perceive space as having three dimensions when it might actually have 10 or 20?
Here we have two two-dimensinal beings, a white line and a white rectangle, living on the flat plane of my table top. There is also a mobius strip resting upon my table top. Because the two-dimensional beings exist only in the two-dimensional plane of my table top they do not even know that the mobius strip is there. For the line or rectangle to get onto the mobius strip they would have to leave the space they occupy and go into another dimension, which is impossible for them to do, just like it is impossible for us to leave our three-dimensional space and go into another dimension.
The table top is only hypothetically flat and could be the surface of a sphere or part of the surface of a möbius strip.
Also the line has only one measurable dimension - length - making it one-dimensional.
I saw on my homepage that Eileen Brennan passed away, either today or yesterday. She had that trademark gravelly voice. She broke into show biz but if she hadn't, she would have made a darn good cocktail waitress in Las Vegas with her street smart vibe and deep voice. RIP Eileen Brennan, who was native to Los Angeles. It's kind of like getting an architecture job in a location you like - it doesn't hurt to have gone to a-school nearby.
Far from her best, and not as gravelly as she can be, but here's a clip:
I'm with Miles on the dimension thing. Sarah, you might find this helpful, it is a video of a high school student explaining dimensions:
I didn't know about that book, Flatland, I'll have to read that.
i read flatland. i enjoyed it. i also read thermal delight in architecture in school. also a good read.
Q, let's assume X and Y don't have to be straight lines. they're still lines, so you're creating 2 dimensions without a 3rd. in that case, a 2-dimensional entity could exist on your mobius strip, since the mobius strip is created by folding a 2-dimensional plane. their only experience of the third dimension is from your experience of the Z axis; since they're bound to the flat surface they have no 3rd dimension of their own.
didn't einstein's theory of relativity have something to do with that? it's still a 2-d plane that was distorted. or something like that. i don't know.
Once a two-dimensional plane is distorted as a curved surface it is no longer two dimensional, and that is what you all have to realize. You can treat one side of a gable roof as a flat (2D) surface, but you cannot treat a bowed roof or a hyperbolic roof as a flat (2D) surface.
Regarding lines that are not straight. Yes, a curved line is not straight, but it remains two-dimensional as long as the differential of every point along the curve relative to every point along the curve is a factor of x and y. Once that curved line becomes a spring or moves along the curved surface (like a sphere or a mobius strip), the differential of every point along the curve relative to every point along the curve is a factor of x, y and z, hence three dimensions. --curtkram, a two-dimensional curved line can exist on the surface of a mobius strip but only as long as the curved line remains stationary. Once the line moves along the curved surface of the mobius strip it requires three dimensions to do so. The (so-called) infinite loop of the mobius strip requires three dimensions to actually exist.
A mobius strip is not a flat surface; it is a series of curved surfaces, hence three dimensional.
Try drawing an actual mobius strip within a 3D CAD program with only x and y coordinates. It can't be done. A mobius strip cannot exist in two-dimensional space.
Quondam, does your reference above "Flatland, summer 1978, Perry, Missouri" refer to when and where you read it? I find that detail fun within this conversation.
Hey, folks, for those who are not highbrow and could live just about anywhere, here's the list for the Top 10 states for frugal living. I couldn't live in all of these, but some. I noticed that, of the western and eastern states, only Idaho made the list. I think I would be haunted by knowing Sarah Palin came from there, so I'd pass on Idaho, parts of which are very scenic. However, of the other 9, I could do Texas (The Woodlands of Houston), Arkansas (Hot Springs Village or other piney areas, but not Little Rock, which the Clintons called home), Indiana (the capital region) and Mississippi (as long as it was Gulfport or thereabouts, and looked like the FL panhandle).
Check out the slide show:
Donna, yes I read Flatland in Perry, Missouri, right about this time 35 years ago. That part of Missouri wasn't all flat though. The view from Buzzard's Roost in Mark Twain State Park is particularly three-dimensional.
While still an architecture student, I spent the summer of 1978 working for the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) stationed in Perry, Missouri, a very small town (pop. 931) 30 miles west of Hannibal (of Mark Twain fame). It was then that the city of St. Louis (120 miles south) became the 'big city' destination on several weekends. What struck me the most in St. Louis was Eero Saarinen's Gateway Arch--not only is it an incredible site from a distance, but even more amazing when perceived while walking around its base, (and I won't elaborate here about the "otherness" of its elevator ride up to the top observation room inside, which I believe I heard is something you can't do anymore).
On what was my third visit to St. Louis, I was with several of the other student architects I lived and worked with--it was their first trip. We were all around the same age and education level, i.e., early twenties and full of youthful over-confidence. I distinctly remember being asked by Mike, "So, what do you think of the arch?" (Mike and I were room mates, and we often 'discussed' architecture). I said, "I think the arch is very pretty." Well, Mike quickly told me that one just DOES NOT use the word 'pretty' when referring to architecture!--(apparently) pretty has such lowly connotations. I briefly argued that I thought 'pretty' was the best word to describe how I saw the arch, largely because I see its 'prettiness' as pretty much undeniable. I was confident I used the right word to describe how I felt about the arch.
Today, just two weeks into the 21st century, I looked up pretty in Webster's Third International Dictionary:
pretty 1 a : marked by or calling for skillful dexterity or artful care and ingenuity, esp. in coping with some difficult or complicated matter.
I am thus (finally) completely convinced I saw the arch for what it is, and then also described how I saw the arch in a most fitting manner.
Now being somewhat older (and hopefully somewhat wiser), if I were today asked what I thought of the arch, I'd say, "The St. Louis Arch is very likely the prettiest architecture-sculpture hybrid I will have ever perceived."
I'm now going to relate a story that may or may not have something to do with "feelings" and place.
I spent the summer of 1978 in Perry, Missouri (population 831) as a Historic American Building Survey (H.A.B.S.) student team member. Our team was surveying and documenting two small towns and a variety of domestic buildings that were to be demolished after our survey because the land was soon going to be under water once the Salt River Dam was complete. One of the buildings I surveyed along with Barbara Hendricks (a architecture student from Texas) was so remote that Barbara and I were dropped off in the morning and not picked up again until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The house was named for Samuel Bell, and it was a simple 2 story farm house with a front porch, central hall, and a gable roof running from side to side. I soon discovered that we could easily get on the roof by going out one of the second story windows and onto the lower roof of the one story addition to the back of the house. I suggested we eat our lunch up on the ridge of the roof.
From the ridge of the roof a portion of the Salt River valley lay before us. The view was indeed beautiful, especially its rawness, and it was weird to think that this was all going to be under water in the near future. As a born and raised northeastern urbanite, all of rural Missouri offered me a plethora of new sensory impressions, and at this spot I found myself wondering what the "Indians" may have once thought of this place. Again, I was struck by the natural raw beauty of it all, and I said to Barbara, "I think this place is sacred." Barbara quickly retorted, "there are a lot of other places I'd call sacred before this."
About a month later, toward the end of the summer when most of the team was in the office drafting, our team historian, Travis McDonald (who is today the resident architectural historian of Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest), came into the office with exciting news -- demolition of the Samuel Bell house was put to a halt and the archeologists, who were also working in the region that summer, were to set up a dig there because it was discovered that the Samuel Bell house was built upon an Indian burial site. I immediately turned to Barbara and said, "I told you that place was sacred!"
In all honesty, I didn't experience any special "feelings" while I was at the Bell House. It just happened that the notion of sacredness entered my mind as I was giving a little thought to what I saw.
in your picture of the mobius strip, you could say the paper you made it out of is 2-dimensional if you ignore the thickness. when you bent the 2-d paper, you made a 3-d shape.
in autocad, i draft on a 2-d surface. space-time is distorted. that's the sort of thing einstein was talking about with relativity. so, autocad is newtonian physics.
if an entity existed on the 2-dimensional surface of your mobius strip, they would be 2-d. if you bent that 2-dimensional surface, it would not change the state or characteristics of the 2-d entity living on the 2-d surface. they would still be 2-d.
the summer of 1978 was pretty exciting for me. i had my first birthday around then!
That stipple is so pretty.
No, seriously, that stipple is lovely - it gives me feelings of longing. And it exemplifies "skillful dexterity or artful care" beautifully.
I love those stories. Let's keep arguing about dimensions just to keep you here posting on TC, Quondam!
I thought surely that story was going to end in afternoon delight, up on the roof, with Barbara-ann.
I drove by the St. Louis arch when I was a kid. We lived in Ohio, and visited my grandparents in Texas, often. We back through St. Louis, so I'm still not sure why we did that time. I just vaguely remember looking out the window, and climbing to my knees for a better view. Shame we didn't stop, but I'm not sure I would've remembered it much.
I've been reading a book about Graphic Arts procedures, published in 1957. I'm trying to bone up on typefaces and the like. The book is fascinating on some levels, and completely obsolete in others. They hadn't even invented computers when this book came out! I'm taking notes on the parts about typefaces, kerning, and leading (which I always read as LEEDing, and not the as learned LEDing), but I'm skimming over the parts on typeface drawers, and hand-setting type.
curtkram, if a 2D rectangle lived on a strip of paper, and that strip of paper was twisted into a mobius strip, then the 2D rectangle would become a 3D surface.
I don't use AutoCAD; I use ARRIS where every database is three-dimensional by default, meaning every point is assigned a x,y,z coordinate and any three points in space can be assigned as register of the active drawing plane.
Something I drew almost 11 years ago. It looks like these twisted bands are made up of many contiguous 2D rectangles, but the rectangles are actually 3D because all four corner points of each individual rectangle do not fall on the same plane; each rectangle is itself a tiny bent surface.
Of course, any three points will register a plane, so, in reality, the above twisted bands are made up of many, many 2D triangles contiguously arrayed in 3D (x,y,z) space.
Lots of beautiful graphics up above.
For something absurd, a hipster was attacked by a raccoon in NY's Central Park.
One of the comments appropriately asked if the raccoon was given an anti-hypster vaccine, since the hipster was given an anti-rabies vaccine. Spot on.
Man, I miss putting some emo music (usually Elliott Smith) on my headphones and stippling for hours. There was something so wonderfully relaxing and therapeutic about that constant motion of delicateness.
A simple example of two-dimensions: the surface of a sphere. While to our familiar outlook the sphere looks three dimensional, if an object is constrained to lie on the surface, it only has two dimensions that it can move in. The surface of a sphere can be completely described by two dimensions since no matter how rough the surface may appear to be, it is still only a surface. (wiki)
Since space is pretty much accepted as curved - introduced by Einstein with his theory of General Relativity - it seems natural that from a 3D point of view a curved surface is 3D. But to an observer constrained to that surface it would be flat. 3D space is not flat, but to us it looks flat.
It's kind of amusing seeing you argue the 2D point of view from a 3D one. And your drawing is by definition 2D, even according to your more stringent Euclidean definition as I'm viewing it on a flat screen monitor.

Our guest blogger today is Dori Thayer, an intern in the Public Affairs department.
Mary Miss has decidedly sparked many Indianapolis residents' curiosities with the installation with her newest citywide project, FLOW: Can You See the River? with her unmistakable markers. Miss's project hopes to make the local community aware of the White River's functions, history and most notably, what we can do as area residents to be more aware and environmentally friendly. This project showcases the river, its watershed and how it sustains us. Mary Miss, who hails from New York, has done many projects of this scope that focus on the environment, history and sustainability.
The red fiberglass balls, juxtaposed against nature, serve as markers for points of ecological importance. The balls and mirrors (on certain markers) are complete audio descriptions that are accessible by cell phone, and links to the the project's very own mobile app, Raindrop. The descriptions inform and encourage visitors to recognize how their daily lives affect the White River, and conversely, how the White River and its history affects us. (Coincidental note, the red balls were fabricated locally by artist Brian McCutcheon's studio. An exhibition of his work just opened at the IMA entitled, Out of this World featuring himself and his adorable son and muse, Angus).
This project extends beyond the markers with talks from Mary Miss herself and other local environmental groups. Through these collaborations, this exhibition moves beyond the museum for a truly citywide effect.
This project came upon me, an intern, in a very ambiguous form and in bits and pieces at the beginning of the summer –I did not know how these complex pieces would fall together. Very quickly did my small part in the project become clearer as the spreadsheets and countless Word documents that I stored on my desktop had a course of action. The Mary Miss team had detailed the exact latitude and longitude of each of their markers. Through the course of a few weeks, I input each individual marker into FLOW's website, learning a lot a lot about a city I had recently become a new resident of. The end result is a map of Indianapolis covered in these red dots, these ecological points of importance. You may find one very close to your home or your workplace.
Come and mark the opening of Indianapolis' very own ecological scavenger hunt (in a way) by participating in the Flow: Can You See the River? festival beginning today, along with the launch of the interactive map (and be sure to visit the website!).
Come to the IMA this evening for a talk by Mary Miss at 7pm in celebration of the opening. Join us earlier at 6pm for a reception in the lobby.

This is wonderful!
I have moved to Indianapolis recently and have been scouting out places to paint the White River.
It is funny how often I am close to it- but can't see it or I can't get down to it.
Thanks for the map- I will use it.

Grove City Neighbors Raise Concerns About Beehives
A neighborhood is all abuzz over a resident's hobby of beekeeping.
"Up here is pretty much all honey," Shannon Arnett said when describing one of the three hives on his property.
Bees have become Arnett's passion.
The Grove City resident started his hobby this past spring, but some of his neighbors have not been so supportive.
"It's been a growing problem since spring," said Brian Grove, who lives right next door to Arnett. "It's disturbing."
Grove says sitting on the deck with his friends and family isn't always possible because of the bees.
"What was initially a nuisance has now become a safety issue," he said. "We had bees that were in our patio furniture. They were behind our siding. In fact, they wouldn't even allow us to come outside."
Grove has taken his complaints to city council and one city council member tells 10TV he is working on the issue.
"We're trying to figure out how to do this without completely uprooting and destroying the opportunity for people who are responsible keepers from being able to enjoy their hobby," said council member Steve Bennett.
Bennett says he has been researching how other Ohio communities have treated the insect.
"We have to make it so we can all live together," he said.
Grove says even he doesn't want a total ban, but something that keeps his family safe.
"Given the fact the kids are playing with a soccer ball and it hits the hive or the fact that I cut my grass and it disturbs the bees. I could potentially be swarmed by these bees and be stung," Grove said.
Arnett admits he could live with some restrictions as long as his honey and his hobby can stay.
"I'd like for them to allow us to keep bees because I'm not the only bee keeper in Grove City," he said.
Bennett says he is hoping to present his proposed ordinance for a first reading at the next council meeting on August 4th.
He says there would be two readings before any vote.
Grove City is not the only city that does not have rules about bees. Reynoldsburg and Worthington do not have legislation restricting beehives. Hilliard has a ban on beekeeping.

They are far from the bright lights. They are unknown faces and unfamiliar names. No camera crews rush to report their every move, record their every thought. Still, these players toil away. Some have overcome injuries. Others have filled in for those injured. They all strive as hard as the superstars, dreaming of the moment they can take their place at the top. These are the unsung heroes from some of the top baseball teams playing in district tournaments this week.
District tournaments
Admission: $5 per session
At stake: The top two teams advance to next week's region quarterfinals.
Class 6A, District 7 at various sites
Schedule: Tuesday — Countryside (6) at North Port (3), 7 p.m.; Palm Harbor U. (5) at Sarasota Riverview (4), 7. Wednesday — Countryside/North Port winner at St. Petersburg (2), 4; PHU/Sarasota Riverview winner at Sarasota (1), 7. Friday — Final (highest seed hosts), 7.
Unsung hero: Green Devils pitcher Dylan Benedict got the start in some big district games, including a win against Countryside and a shutout against North Port that clinched the No. 2 seed.
Class 5A, District 12 at Northeast
Schedule: Tuesday — Gibbs (5) vs. Largo (4), 7. Wednesday — Boca Ciega (3) vs. Pinellas Park (2), 5; Gibbs/Largo winner vs. Northeast (1), 8. Friday — Final, 7.
Unsung heroes: The Vikings' Shawn Delmontagne has battled through ankle injuries and a pulled hamstring to stabilize the team's catching situation and help them to clinch the top seed in the district. He is tied for the team lead in RBIs (24) and is second in home runs (three).
Cody Arnold has emerged as a big hitter for the No. 2 seed Patriots and is in the top five in the county in hitting with a .452 average.

Schedule: Tuesday — Tarpon Springs (5) vs, East Lake (4), 7. Wednesday — Clearwater (3) vs. Seminole (2), 5; Tarpon Springs/East Lake winner vs. Dunedin (1), 8. Friday — Final, 7.
Unsung hero: After the Falcons' Andrew Broadbeck went down with an injury midway through the season, Mike Tipton was moved to the leadoff spot. He responded with a .388 average for the top-seeded Falcons.
The Warhawks' Gabe Martello has been a steady influence at catcher for a deep staff and his clutch hits were big in helping his team grab the No. 2 seed.

Unsung heroes: The Marauders' Dominic Delmonte was limited to a few innings on the mound last season because of injury but has bounced back to lead the team with five wins, including one against Tampa Catholic that clinched the No. 2 seed.
Tim McKay has been the most versatile player for the No. 3 seed Barons, playing four positions this season. His play at catcher was big when SPC lost starter Tito Santos for a few weeks due to injury.

Unsung hero: The top-seeded Chargers have been hit by the injury bug, with four players missing time in the past month. That allowed outfielder Branden Burg to emerge as an everyday force. His run-scoring single against St. Stephens' was the difference in a game that decided the district's top spot.

We had a (free) energy audit last week, and the guy mentioned the possibility of an air source heat pump to supplement our propane and coal. These units apparently do not work so well below around 35F, but here in upstate NY there are plenty of days from Oct - Dec, and March - May, where temps are well above that but we still need heat, but typically do not run the coal stove. We currently do have central air and forced hot air ducting, so this potential heat pump would pretty much drop into place, and could be integrated pretty well with our existing propane furnace via a new thermostat.
Anybody have any experience with these units in NY or PA climates? I've read that they're a lot more common further down south....but not sure if the ROI really pans out here in upstate NY.

Be careful of your wallet!!!: Freedom of the Seas Cruise Review by trellybear
Overall Member Rating
Be careful of your wallet!!!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Overall a pleasant holiday, we booked what we thought was an all inclusive cruise but how wrong we were!
First positive points, ship embarking and disembarking was quick and efficient, at all ports passengers were transferred off the ship speedily which was great.
Ship was enormous and impressive especially the royal promenade, rooms were spacious and clean - housekeeping seemed to be permanently hanging around so rooms were always kept clean!
Ate mainly at the Winjammer buffet which we both enjoyed very much, great selection of food and not too busy. Ate once at the main a la carte dining room but not that impressive I'm afraid
As a childless couple it was lovely to have an adults only section - you need to be quick with getting the sun loungers though!
Some of the entertainment was great, Grahame the cruise director was especially amusing
There did seem to be a lot of facilities More which could fill your time well if so inclined!
OK now for the negatives.....
Mainly just money money money. We had been forced into pre paying tips before we left as apparently that's just what you 'do' on a cruise. $10 a day for the housekeeper certainly seemed like a massive amount to us and as we only used the restaurant once we did begrudge tipping people we had never met!! Also they add 15% onto every drink you have so regardless of whether you want to you end up tipping again there!!
We disembarked at CocoCay which is a private island owned by RC, here you have to pay for everything - even sunloungers! Considering we are paying so much for a cruise you would have thought they could throw in a sunlounger for free??!!!
Now the main bugbear which is a serious one that needs to be looked at. The lies told by the 'shopping consultant' in regards to the recommended shops that are linked to the cruise company when you disembark at a port - mainly Diamonds International
The ship will treat you to a massive lecture about how these are recommended shopping outlets that are guaranteed by the ship, they are duty and tax free, and massive massive bargains
This is all lies. They lie to you on the ship, they lie to you in the shop when they sell you their inferior diamonds then when you get them independently appraised back on land you realise you were royally conned and there is sweet fa you can do about it.
RC should be ashamed of themselves for associating themselves with these charlatans but of course they are making too much money out of them to care. Just google Diamonds International and you will be treated to the masses and masses of internet space dedicated to these people.
Too late for us now but please be careful!!!! Less

Origin confirmed on Wednesday a share sale was among the various options it may use to help underpin its stake in the Australia Pacific LNG venture, which is due to give the go-ahead for a second production unit by mid-year.
The Sydney-based energy and utility company also warned of a likely write-down in the value of a solar power business in the US, just two years after it formed the venture.
The news sent Origin shares down 6¢ to $13.03, with more downward pressure expected to emerge ahead of the equity issue.
Analysts have flagged Origin will need to raise more equity to fund its share of the massive APLNG project while keeping its BBB+ rating from Standard & Poor's.
Last week the venture finalised $US8.5 billion of debt financing from export credit agencies and commercial banks for the Queensland project, in which ConocoPhillips and LNG buyer Sinopec of China have stakes.
The project debt is non-recourse to the venture partners, and so is in effect off Origin's balance sheet. But Origin said at the time it still expected ratings agencies to include its share of the debt in their assessment of its creditworthiness.
Origin has used a range of funding sources over the past 18 months to finance APLNG, including a $2.3 billion renounceable entitlement offer last year at $13 per share, underwritten by JPMorgan, Macquarie and Merrill Lynch. It has also sold hybrid notes and debt securities and put in place more than $2 billion of bank debt.
Merrill Lynch analysts said yesterday they believed Origin would seek more funds to give more flexibility within its credit rating.
They calculate that Origin's interest cover ratio – a critical measure for the ratings agencies – "could look tight" in the 2015 financial year unless Origin raises about $1 billion in new funding.
However Origin managing director Grant King has pointed to the option of selling a further stake in APLNG, which would reduce the need for more equity.
Origin currently owns 37.5 per cent of APLNG as does Conoco, after the pair sold 25 per cent to Sinopec, which will buy most of the 9 million tonnes a year of output.
Kansai Electric signed up for 1 million tonnes a year of LNG from APLNG last November in a deal potentially worth $20 billion over the 20-year life of the contract.
The Japanese utility has been in talks to also buy a direct stake and a deal may be announced at the same time as the final investment decision on the second train.
Meanwhile Origin advised it was reviewing the $134 million carrying value of its 50 per cent holding in its Transform Solar venture with Micron Technology after the business decided to halt production of photovoltaic modules in Idaho because of the poor market.
Any write-down will be included in the annual results on August 23.
Transform Solar, which uses Origin's Sliver solar PV module technology, is suffering from the global oversupply of solar PV capacity.

The NSW construction industry is set for a shake-up after an inquiry into building company collapses in the state made dozens of recommendations for change, including a new construction authority and the establishment of trusts to ensure subcontractors are paid for work.
A report by Sydney barrister Bruce Collins, QC, commissioned by the state government in August last year and released on Monday, makes 44 recommendations to minimise the effect of construction company insolvencies on jobs and major projects in the state.
The recommendations include the creation of a new statutory body, the NSW Building and Construction Authority, and a legal requirement for construction trusts to be set up on building projects worth over $1 million.
There is also a proposal for a licensing system for builders and construction contractors, which would require projects to have "demonstrated financial backing".
"This inquiry was initiated following the rising number of construction company collapses over the last three years, which has left thousands of suppliers and subcontractors more than $1 billion out of pocket," NSW Finance Minister
"The inquiry looked into the extent and causes of insolvency within the industry and what reforms were needed to safeguard the interests of subcontractors."
He said the government would consider the recommendations and consult with stakeholders and the public about potential legal and policy changes until February 21.
Mr Pearce has been a vocal critic of building companies such as Sydney-based St Hilliers Group, which put the construction arm of its business into administration in May last year after it was unable to secure additional funding for a prison expansion project.
St Hilliers said it was the "only prudent" course of action, but Mr Pearce said in Parliament that the group was trying "to avoid paying their creditors", including subcontractors.
The group's collapse was one of a string of construction company failures last year. Reed Construction Australia, which had been locked in a dispute with the NSW government over payments for schools and roads projects, went into administration in June.
The report is available on the NSW Department of Finance and Services website.

If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers weren't mathematical eliminated from the playoffs going into Sunday's matchup, they should be now after an appalling performance against the New Orleans Saints.
After three straight losses, it was easy to assume that the Bucs would be ready for a fight against their division rivals. Instead, the Bucs looked like the 2011 team that lost 10 straight games to end the season and got shutout in the Superdome, 41-0.
The Bucs were absolutely dreadful on offense, which is where they have excelled this season.
Quarterback Josh Freeman had, by far, his worst game of the season. He was off on his deep throws all afternoon and had way too many costly turnovers when the Bucs were in scoring position. Freeman finished 26-of-47 for 279 yards with five turnovers (four interceptions, one fumble lost) before being benched late in the game.
As bad as Freeman was, the running game was worse. Until late in the fourth quarter, defensive back Keith Tandy was the team's leading rusher after he gained 18 yards on a fake punt. You read that correctly; a defensive back led the Bucs in rushing until LeGarrette Blount got some garbage time carries. Doug Martin was bottled up all afternoon and had just 16 yards on nine carries. Blount had 25 yards on four carries.
On the other side, quarterback Drew Brees was fantastic and carved up the Bucs defense all day long. After throwing seven interceptions and just one touchdown in the last two games, Brees finished 26-of-39 for 307 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions.
Even the Bucs' No. 1 run defense couldn't hold up its end of the bargain and got annihilated by the Saints. Running back Mark Ingram had 90 rushing yards on just 14 carries with one touchdown. As a team, the Saints had 149 yards against the Bucs, who came in only allowing just 82 yards per game on the ground.
After this loss, the Bucs now move to 6-8 on the season and need to beat the St. Louis Rams at home next week and the Atlanta Falcons on the road in the final week of the season if they want to end up at .500.

The Goes Around Comes Around Effect
My mom always does that. She's notorious for the incessant calls to make sure we're okay and ofcourse growing up you rolled your eyes a teeny bit and said in an exasperated tone, "Mom, I'm okay.. Jeeeeez!" Its funny though, the "goes around comes around effect" My brother and parents are going for a three week trip to Pakistan. I called her at least three times last night and twice today. Now I just learned their flight is delayed leading to all sorts of complications and that they didn't take a cell phone. Though I know deep down they'll be okay (insh'allah) I can't lie and say I'm not worried, that they're not totally on my mind and that I'm not distracted. Because I am. I guess I just want to know they're okay.
7 comments:
I have a one year old, and my entire existence is now spent worrying about him. Tonight he fell off the bed and hit his head, and I mean hard, on the wood floor. And less than an hour later, he did a kamikaze dive head-first off of a chair on to the floor. Both resulted in non-trivial bumps on the head, and long stretches of inconsolable crying.
By the second incident, I was crying right along with him. It is somehow exhausing when you realize that you will spend the rest of your life worrying about your kid, and with things that are scarier and more dangerous than a bump on the head.
Don't even talk to me about what happens when he starts DRIVING, heaven forbid. I'm having a heart attack just thinking about it.
So yeah, what goes around comes around when it comes to this stuff.

Hey Kate, thanks for your comment. I can only imagine what it must feel like to see your child in pain. I remember my mother would always say (and still says) "wait till you have kids" on each point I made reacting to her (what I felt was) being so overprotective. I guess when I have my own kids is when it will TRULY come around. Thanks for the food for thought. I hope your baby is feeling better today.

I'll say a prayer for their safety. {hugs}

Life is always better with a personal soundtrack.
First off, I'm in love with music. Both sexually and emotionally. Its the only thing that I can compare with anything and everything; good days, bad days, people, experiences, literally anything. Lately, I've been wanting to have my life with a streaming music player…. You know like the cool movie intros or soundtracks the you always remember.
This fall Good Vibrations built us a stellar DJ booth with a built in sound system that is easy to transport anywhere. We were working on it in our lounge last night getting ready to take AVALAUNCH to Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City next week and one of the DJ's that is going with us was testing it out by giving us a sweet show. It was such a great experience that we've decided to have our own personal DJ for when we're lounging around, setting up for a show or in the car. Wouldn't it be great to have your own life soundtrack?

Super hit duo Ranveer Singh and choreographer Bosco-Caesar gave a foot tapping hit in Gunday. They reunited for the condom ad of Ranveer which created quite a stir across the nation.
After the ad, Ranveer just plans to use Bosco-Caesar's choreography for his film songs as much as possible, just like how Madhuri Dixit used Saroj Khan for her Jhatkas.
Bosco said, "That's a tall order. But my partner Caesar and I are working towards a durable rapport with Ranveer. For us, doing this ad is as good as doing an award-winning song."
"He was the perfect choice for the ad. He was simply fabulous! His energy level was infectious. We were all charged up along with Ranveer during the shooting," Bosco praised Ranveer.
The choreographer who has made Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor and Varun Dhawan dance to his tunes says, Ranveer Singh was the perfect choice for the condom ad.
"We had to make sure that the message was wrapped around the song and dance in a decent aesthetic manner. It wasn't difficult because we had such a good-looking actor with such a high energy-level endorsing the condom. The dance moves could never look cheap on Ranveer," he said.

"We recently did the very successful 'Gunday' song with Ranveer and now the condom ad. We hope to keep the momentum going. We did our best in the condom ad. We never expected to get such unanimous acceptance," he added.

Spreading rumours online can now result in a three-year jail sentence in China, in a new nationwide ruling aimed at stifling the increasingly free-flowing tone of debate on the internet.
The new judicial interpretation formally extends laws against defamation and creating social instability to the internet for the first time, reflecting the soaring influence blogs and social media has had on Chinese society.
''In recent years, the internet has been used to maliciously fabricate facts and damage the reputation of others … and to concoct rumours that mislead the people, causing serious disruptions of social order and even mass incidents,'' a Supreme Court spokesman, Sun Jungong, said.
A post deemed defamatory that is forwarded more than 500 times, or viewed more than 5000 times, could land the author in jail for up to three years. A maximum sentence of 10 years awaits those charged with ''organising others to spread fake information that results in serious public disorder''.
Chinese censors routinely remove internet content they deem inappropriate or politically sensitive but political debate has flourished online, particularly since the downfall of former Chongqing party secretary Bo Xilai.
The announcement coincides with a rolling campaign from the Chinese government to rein in online commentary after President Xi Jinping's call to ''seize the ground of new media''.

PURTON have acted quickly following the departure of former manager Chris Pethick by appointing Justin Miller as their new boss.
Pethick stepped down at the end of Purton's Hellenic League season after 10 years at the helm but, within a week, Miller has succeded him.
Chairman Alan Eastwood said: "Having lost Chris and his team it was imperative that we bring in another team quickly and this we have done. I am pleased to announce that former player Justin Miller will be the new manager at the club and will be assisted by two other former Purton players, Dave Gee and Nick McCrae.
"They bring to the club a wealth of experience having all played at higher levels and are well liked by all the Purton players and local supporters alike. Justin may also be adding a further assistant to his team for the new campaign and the club are delighted with the capture of this new team".

"I think what Ashraf is doing is very inspiring, because any important change in the world is difficult to achieve and it often takes one person standing up and trying to do something that seems impossible."
What do you hope audiences will take away from the film?
I hope it will let them step into another person's shoes for a moment, and open themselves up to an honest and sometimes painful conversation, and by doing that we can move in a direction of understanding that will help us live in a more peaceful world. And it's not easy, and it's not something that happens overnight. What Ashraf is focused on is not trying to convert hard-core terrorists but to try and open a conversation within that community that will make terrorism less-attractive, and create a less fertile ground for it. And I think that all of us have to participate in that discussion. That requires all of us opening our perspectives and opening our minds to thinking about things in a different way. And from that great things can happen.

Class action lawsuits aimed at Carrier IQ, HTC, Samsung
The lawsuits were filed in Missouri and Illinois, and name Samsung and HTC as defendants in addition to Carrier IQ. None of the carriers are named in the lawsuits, although the shifting of the burden to the carriers has really happened in the last 48 hours, so it's possible that additional defendants could be added in coming weeks.
The lawsuits allege that the defendants "intercepted, recorded and collected information" from your phone and transmitted that data to a third party (the carriers) without the authorization of the parties being monitored. The lawsuits seek statutory and punitive damages that could easily translate into tens of millions of dollars, to be divided among the owners of the handsets that are impacted by Carrier IQ's software. Since 141 million phones have the software installed on them, we probably aren't looking much money per person.
Carrier IQ has vigorously denied that their software breaks any wiretap laws, claiming that they don't record, store, or transmit the contents of text messages, phone calls, email, or videos. Carrier IQ further states that it simply supplies the software; it is up to the individual wireless providers to decide what information is to be tracked and stored, and for how long.
Obviously there is a lot of information that's not yet public, but these lawsuits shed an interesting light on past events in the scandal. It originally seemed like Carrier IQ dramatically over-reacted when it sent a cease and desist letter to the researcher that discovered their software, but perhaps that was an attempt to put the genie back in the bottle before the whole thing blew up. If that's the case, it suggests that Carrier IQ may have suspected what they were doing was at the least a PR nightmare, and at worst legally suspect.
Further supporting this inference is the "rats leaving a sinking ship" routine of the last few days, as handset manufacturers, software companies, and even several networks released public statements disavowing their responsibility in the scandal and/or any association with Carrier IQ.
It's possible this is just the tip of the iceberg. What do you guys think?

Collecting data without consumers' consent? Heck yeah it's illegal.
Wireless carriers should also be sued too, afterall they also got a fair share of people private info as well.

I wonder if anyone is going to be doing a perp walk over this? Free room and board with restricted visitation rights and a rap sheet is the only way to stop this kind of abuse.
There is a legitimate place for this kind of software, but the user has to opt in and for the duration the software is running its diagnostic session, there is a symbol of some sort in the notification bar. None of this was done. Instead federal wiretap laws were broken.
Make the f*ckers do a perp walk!

hahaha this is stupid HTC and Samsung make the phone at&t, Sprint, tmobile write the carrier IQ crap on the phone...they are the one that need to be taking to court

Not quite, ATT, Sprint and Tmobile asked handset manufacturers to add CarrierIQ to the subsidized handsets.
8. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
The carriers should be the defendants. The manufacturers are nearly blameless.
18. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
all but 1 manufacturer that is.. that one manufacturer that retains 100% control of everything that goes on their devices and wont let the carriers dictate any phone apps...
what was that company's name again?

I guess this is how AT&T was finally able to see which users were using their device for tethering this whole time... think about it lol.

the problem with the IQ software is not what it does the IQ people and the carriers swear they dont misuse it (God knows they would never lie to us) the problem is what it is capable of doing and that you have no way of stopping it or even knowing it is there God only knows what it could be used for

The government needs to come up with some serious penalties(jail time or death) when these theives violate peoples privacy in such a blatant way! this is why groups like Anonymous & wikileaks are so important !!!

How in the frig is it that the carriers remain unnamed in these things? Damn it, I wish I had deep enough pockets to form my own lobby.

April 28, 2017 - opened and poured, this wine gives and excellent showing. The aromatics shows youthful dark fruits and spice notes combined with some underlying maturing elements. The color is a tarnished medium ruby. The medium bodied palate is expressive and detailed. The wine gives a medium length finish. This is at or around its peak.

April 11, 2015 - Very ripe jammy red and black fruit driven nose, cherries, blackberries, sap, dark spices, tree bark, iron and earth. Very good concentration, dense jammy red fruit driven palate impression, strong presence of mineral and iron, good acidity and noticeable structure. For my palate, this seems very gevrey with iron, tree bark/cedar and dark spices. This is a dense jammy wine that needs at least five more years to come together and another five more to again sous bois and other tertiary notes.

January 21, 2014 - I agree with "short and confused" on all points..... Fantastic village wine. Fourrier does it again!
Sycamore wrote:
April 21, 2013 - Floated a trial balloon on this to compare with other recent '10 Fourrier villages. Underwhelming at this stage -- best word to describe it is "muted". Serviceable, though somewhat sappy-sweet fruit. Never pops (day 2 included) on either the nose or palate. Bottle didn't seem off in any way, so its a bit of a head-scratcher. No reason to open again any time soon; try again 2015+.

April 14, 2013 - My heavens. I would not have identified this as a village wine blind. Color: Good bright full red. Nose: High pitched red cherries, flowers and spice with lower pitched notes of smoke and earth. Palate: Tangy tiny berry densely packed red fruit. Brisk, pure, elegant- an almost explosive silkiness. No stems here- just beautiful pure pinot fruit. Of note, there is what I can only describe as a hint of bubblegum- but good bubblegum, very good bubblegum. This is why I spend money on Burgundy. 3 bottles left. Should I let them lie in the cellar when it is this good right now?

OTTAWA — A couple of days to prepare.
By then, Bryce Van Brabant's personal cheering section — parents, four siblings and girlfriend — can make their way to Toronto from Wild Rose Country for his NHL debut with the Calgary Flames.
The left winger, signed Saturday from Quinnipiac University of the NCAA rinks, has that much time to prepare best he can and get his nerves under control.
"It's Toronto. The fans are crazy there. I guess the fans are crazy anywhere in Canada," he said Sunday when he joined the Flames in Ottawa. "In the end, you'll have to face the first game at any time, and you'll have a case of the nerves. I play a simple game, so it's not going to be that hard to just go out there and have some fun."
Following a plan the Flames have used with other youngsters upon joining the team, Van Brabant was scratched for the clash with the Senators to help acclimatize before suiting up in Tuesday's meeting with the Maple Leafs.
He spent most of the tilt watching alongside special assistant to the (interim) GM Craig Conroy.
"It's to start them the right way, to try to take away as many questions as possible that go through their mind, especially when they're playing," head coach Bob Hartley explained. "We're trying to ease them in. There's lots of nervousness, learning a system, leaving school, meeting new teammates, playing your first game in the NHL within 48 hours. That's a pretty full plate."
Having a full plate isn't exactly new for Van Brabant, the 22-year-old, 6-foot-3, 220-lb. left winger from Morinville, Alta.
Among the reasons he left Quinnipiac after his third year — his team was eliminated from the NCAA tournament Friday night — was the fact he's only a couple courses shy of finishing his finance degree. Had he gone back, Van Brabant said he would have completed an MBA.
He opted to sign with the Flames over other clubs, including the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks, in part because he attended Calgary's summer prospects camp last July.
"It came down to that I felt the opportunity was best here. It's nice to come back to your home province — it's hard to say 'no' to that. They treated me awesome," he said.
And have high hopes he can develop into a depth winger capable of providing some physical play and chip in the odd goal. Van Brabant collected 15 goals, 22 points and an NCAA-high 115 penalty minutes in 40 games for Quinnipiac, and Flames president of hockey operations Brian Burke said he has the kind of "truculence" the club wants.
"I like it. I try to play that way," Van Brabant said of Burke's assessment and praise. "I try to emulate my game kind of like Milan Lucic, throw the body around as much as I can, work hard, go to the net."
Off the glass
Not much of an update on Flames defenceman Ladislav Smid and his upper-body injury suffered Friday, other than he's not on the trip. "He was doing better this morning, talking to our medical guys. I don't have a timeframe yet for his return," Hartley said. Chad Billins took Smid's place and was minus-2 in 13:01 of action … Would the Flames consider scratching rookie centre Sean Monahan for a game or two in Florida? You definitely want him to play near his hometown when they face the Toronto Maple Leafs, and he appeared to have some jump in Ottawa, but the teenager is starting to look worn down … Have to admit, it seemed odd for Senators coach Paul MacLean to start Robin Lehner in goal one game after No.-1 netminder Craig Anderson returned after missing seven games due to injury and was outstanding in Friday's win over the Blackhawks, but MacLean was on to something. Lehner was good enough to prevent the Flames from taking a commanding lead when they had all the momentum and those second-period shots. Plus, Anderson gets enough rest to take the net when the Sens, who have a slight chance of making the playoffs, face the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday.
In the crease
Speaking of Calgary's second period, how does a team have an 18-1 edge in shots in just over half a period and still lose? Then again, the official shot-counter seemed to be handing those out like they dole out hits in other rinks … It will be interesting to see how quickly the Flames snap their game back in order. There have been lapses in most games of late, but this loss may be their worst performance in months. In fact, the last time they lost by more than two goals was the 5-2 defeat at home against the Winnipeg Jets, way back on Jan. 16. If they return to the expectations and have a complete outing in Toronto, they could put a big dagger in the Maple Leafs thin playoff hopes … Interesting couple of notes about Van Brabant. He attended prospects camps for both the Flames and Edmonton Oilers last summer finishing in the provincial capital and starting in Calgary on the same day. When he makes his NHL debut, he'll be the first product of Quinnipiac University to skate in the NHL. He also seems to be only the third player in the school's history signed to an NHL deal … Flames goalie coach Clint Malarchuk has been given a blessing by the team to deal with personal issues.
The last word
"It wasn't exactly the style of hockey that you try and build towards, but they did it less poorly than us." — Flames LW Michael Cammalleri

I had a hard time too. Most window cleaners among themselves call it "bee pollen", and while its partially true, that isn't quite the whole story.
If you live in California, you're certain to have noticed the numerous yellow-gold dots all over your car, windows, house siding and just about every surface outside. Especially here in San Diego, certain parts of the county such as La Jolla, up on Mount Soledad, have some homes that just get hammered with this stuff. On their cars, everywhere!
If you live here, you know exactly the spots I mean. During certain times of the year the dots appear in greater numbers and no matter where you park, you end up getting these on your car every day. They are also difficult to get off your car and windows; they seem to appear out of nowhere and dry hard almost instantly.
Like so many, I wondered what these mystery dots where. Since I see them all the time cleaning windows, I always assumed it was pollen.
At first I thought it may be something from the planes overhead. After all, that would account for the patterns I noticed on other homes but NOT the ones in La Jolla. We have so many airports in San Diego…both civilian, commercial and military peppered all over the county that it very well could be from an aircraft.
Another fact I'd like to point out is this; not ONE time did I see a bee fly overhead when at the home in La Jolla, when the spots would like magic appear before my eyes! I mean, as fast as I cleaned the glass, right away…SPLAT! I look around…no bee's are laughing!
I worked very close to the San Diego airport, and have clients at the Mira Mar base, North Island and Camp Pendelton. So my first attempt to figure out exactly what this stuff is was to ask them if they knew anything about it. They were a big help, and explained that any liquids that are coming out of any aircraft, commercial or military-are color coded. This wasn't one of the colors either.
One of the things I noticed was that these spots appear in greater frequency in number more on the West side than any other area of a building. I continued to try and find the source but everything came up a dead end. I contacted county officials to determine if it was a pesticide or other chemical being carried by the wind still no answers to this mystery.
(Of course, the client in La Jolla, the entire cul-de-sac on that streets' houses- those spots were on ALL sides not just the west).
I came across an article that came out in the LA Times that figured it all out. An LA Times columnist named Ralph Vartabedian was on the same quest and he utilized more professional resources to solve this mystery. He had the dots analyzed by the agency that manages air quality in California and was able to solve this mystery!
So what are those yellow-gold dots? In two words, bee poop. Yes, bees do poop and when you live in an area with LOTS and LOTS of bees, you 'll find these yellow-gold dots of the digested pollen the bees eat on pretty much everything that isn't covered. Bees follow the same route (or flight plan) over and over when traveling to and from their hives, so some places get hit more than others.
So now the mystery is solved! These mystery yellow-gold spots are the waste droppings of bees. Want to avoid getting them on your car or windows? When you find an answer, please let me know.
Meanwhile, many of our customers have to deal with this problem and I am given the task of figuring out the most cost efficient means of removing them both for the customer and for our company.
We tried using the pressure washer. Tried using different soaps. Different abrasive scrubbers. We tried different acids. Nothing worked.
What did work, and was surprisingly easy, was using pure water to clean with and a waterfed pole. Bingo. Now we have a method to take these spots off, and it only costs a tad more than it would for a typical window cleaning! Unfortunately for the homeowner, to do it themselves would require a significant investment to buy these tools.
We've found something even better. quicker and more efficient. Grade 0000 steel wool used to scrub on wet glass is what gets this crap off (pun intended) faster than waterfed poles.
So, if you are reading this article and are not a professional window cleaner, ask your service provider if they use pure water cleaning. They should be able to take care of this problem for you. If you would like to make that investment and do it yourself, please give me a call (619)779-5858 and I can walk you thru the process.
Happy window cleaning!

Reviews for Yummy Chocolate Cake
Average Rating
"Yikes, trans fats in both the cake and the frosting! Puddings have trans fats and so do frozen whipped toppings."
"I am diabetic, and I love this cake, give you a chance to eat something wonderful. My family did not even know it was, so that was better. Nest time, I will add toasted pecans to the top."
"The best cake ever! My frosting turned out great.....I refrigerated it for a short time before I frosted, so it would set a little. Perfect, and it lasted at least 4 days in the fridge. Perfect for groups of people.....they devour it. Use the 15x10x1 pan too......I think that makes a difference. This goes in my favorites!!"
"The cake is good and bakes up well (and I made cupcakes instead of a pan cake). However, the frosting ended up a soupy mess, even though I followed the instructions exactly and used low-fat frozen whipped topping, not fat-free. I cannot figure out how anyone could get frosting from these directions/ingredients. Because I made these for my husband's birthday, I had to use store-bought frosting (the sugary, unhealthy kind) which sort of defeats the whole purpose of this recipe. I will be looking for another frosting recipe to use with this cake."
"I made this for company and everyone loved it. The cake comes out very moist and the frosting perfect. I love light desserts that taste good and this one is just that! Not too heavy, not too rich, just right!"
"This was a WONDERFUL cake! All who ate it loved it. Thanks La Donna for the great recipe."
"It's the real thing. The chocolate version is wonderful! I'm a vanilla fan, therefore I substituted a vanilla cake mix and vanilla frosting. Wow! I think this will become a staple in my house. This, along with all these light recipes fit in perfectly with the Weight Watcher Points Plus program. Try it!"
"I made it for Mother's Day, and everyone loved it. No one guessed that it was a "lighter" dessert."
"Made it for my husband and me for dessert for the week, both of us really enjoyed it. Would love to make it in lemon"
"Was excellent and everyone loved it...so moist! Can't wait to try with other flavors of cake mix w/co-ordinating FF/SF pudding."
"yummy yummy!!!!!!!!"
"Very good. Took to church gathering potluck and many had seconds."
"We thought it was great. The frosting was wonderful. Definitely a keeper!"
"Made this cake for the family and everyone raved about it. What's even better it is only 5 points on Weight Watchers!"
"My family was not a fan. Said the cake was too heavy."
"I used 1.4ounce of chocolate pudding mix to a Devils Food cake mix and the cake was so dense and moist - its was delicious. I didnt bother using lite or fat free or sugar free cool whip because when you look at the fat content its just about the same across the board. This cake was delicious and my family inhaled it!!!"
"Made this foir Mother's Day today. I made it in 2- 9 inch square pans for easier transport (plus I had 2 places to go, one for each) cake was really good, the pudding added a nice richness. However I was not thrilled with the almond extract. It was a little strong. I am sure it covered the artificial sweetner flavor of the pudding though and since I hate the aftertaste of artificial sugar I can appreciate it. I will try a little vanilla extract next time. Was a good cake overall but might be better with white cake, vanilla pudding and vanilla extract like some reviewers have suggested.Ok for a "light" cake."
"Have made this cake many times. Really an excellent go to for lighter eating."
"People having trouble with the icing being watery might be using fat free Cool Whip. The recipe calls for low fat, and often when you try to add anything to fat free, it turns watery."
"Too chocolatey for me, but everyone else loved it! I used regular pudding, not the sugar free, so it was much richer. I also used orange extract instead of the almond, because of allergies. The orange extract added a nice flavour. The pudding made the cake extra moist, but the frosting was what everyone enjoyed!"
"Absolutely love this! It is hard to stay away from and does not last for long!"
"Great recipe - would definitely make it again."
"Brilliant recipe. Very easy to make. Made this a couple of times when we had company and it went down a treat. Ammended topping slightly. Mixed 1 packet of chocolate pudding with 200ml of whipped cream and just kept if simple, and it still tastes great. Good thing is you can whip this up in no time with minimum effort and the results are amazing. I would go as far as saying it tastes better then shop bought cakes. Will try making it next time with layering cake and frosting and decoarate with flake."
"I don't understand what we went wrong with our frosting. We followed the instructions very closely and were very careful on the measurements but unfortunately the frosting still came out watery. :("
"This is an awesome cake!! Very moist and chocolaty. Also, it is especially good when it's cold!!!"
"The cake does not taste low fat at all and the mousse frosting is a nice alternative to the typical canned frosting. However, I thought the recipe for the frosting made too much for the cake, also, I would leave the almond extract out of it.Side note, this cake really does refrigerate nicely and actually tastes better cold!!"
"the frosting was watery. I followed the directions to a "T"....this was for Valenines day,,,huge disappointment :("
"one of few good low fat cakes. keeps well in the refrigerator"
"This is the best light chocolate cake I have ever made. I am a weight watcher and this works nicely with our program. Only 4 points. I cut the piece in half and put one of the halves on top of the other for a layer cake. Works great for birthday cake and it freezes nicely. Also tastes great as a frozen desert. Highly recommend this cake."
"I made this recipe for a birthday treat and all the people who had it liked it very much. I would make it again."
"I would make this again, it is a keeper! I used reg. pudding as I have had a bout with cancer and will not eat anything with aspartame!"
"I will try this recipe if I can find a sugar free pudding mix without Aspartame. It is the popular "sugar free" sweetener used by the food industry that has many adverse side affects. Read your labels!!!"
"This sounds like a great light cake recipe. I plan on making it for our Christmas dinner. I will use a vanilla cake mix with vanilla pudding for the cake and vanilla pudding with vanilla flavoring for the icing. For a festive Christmas touch, I will sprinkle the top with crushed peppermint candy.Thanks for the great idea."
"This looks yummy! I can't wait to try!!"
"Fabulous! (and light). It's my husband's "Birthday cake" now."
"This is a wonderful cake recipe! I made it for a monthly birthday celebration at the office and many colleagues requested copies of the recipe."
"This was wonderful. I wish I could give it 6 stars. Best recipe I've found with Taste of Home healthy yet and low calorie!"
"I put mine in the fridge and then sent it to work with hubby. They all loved it!"
"I made both versions and everyone who tried them loved it! I think next time I might try the low sugar cake mix."
"Could this be baked in a tube pan without frosting? My husband doesn't like frosting."
"This cake is great and who would think it is low-fat. I made it using a low sugar cake mix (with Splenda) because my dad is diabetic and I share what I cook with my elderly parents. It was great.I will try the french vanilla next or maybe with vanilla pudding for the cake and butterscotch pudding for the frosting."
"I made it for my husband's birthday and he LOVED it! We both thought french vanilla would probably be just as good, so I tried that a week later... and it was even BETTER!"
"This one is a definate "Do Again" treat. Really does satisfy that sugar crave that hits once in a while"
"Tried the Yummy Choc cake which it is but was surprised when I took it out of the oven and it seemed to have big bubbles however when it cooled, everything was nice and smooth. Very Good!"
"[quote user="Rhonda Noriega"]The cake was good. Really moist, the directions for the time was way off though. Use the time on the cake box. The almond extract in the frosting had a bit of an odd flavor. My daughter and husband refused to eat the frosting. If I made it again I would leave the almond extract out of the frosting.[/quote]Maybe you should try vanilla?"

A MENTAL health charity is appealing for help to find new premises after taking a battering from the wind and rain.
Paper files have been ruined by the damp, while ingenious staff have even put up an umbrella indoors over the computer server to protect important information.
The elements are getting in through leaky windows and the roof, and one room is so damp it has been sealed off.
To make matters worse, the disabled access is currently blocked off by developers building a new road near the Mind in Taunton and West Somerset HQ in the Market Building in Canal Terrace, Taunton.
Chairman Jean Grant said: "We're striving to continue our services, but are being increasingly challenged by the natural elements – storm-force winds, torrential rain and an ageing building, which is leaking badly and about to be demolished to make way for the new development at Firepool."
Mrs Grant said the charity's landlord of ten years is supportive of MIND staying there until new accommodation can be found, but there is no point repairing a building which is due to be bulldozed, while insurance does not cover acts of God, such as storms or floods.
"No suitable accommodation has been forthcoming to date and we wondered whether there's a property which someone would wish to see used which could accommodate us," said Mrs Grant.
"We have to run the charity as a business – we're not seeking a gift as such, but neither are we wealthy.
"Our present building is about 2,000sq ft. Ideally we'd need mostly downstairs accommodation, preferably in the town area with the possibility of a shop and maybe a small outside area.
"A bonus would be some parking spaces as we do operate a service at night – Mindline."
Anyone with suitable premises should contact Mind on 01823-334906 or email email@example.com Mind provides help, support and advice for people who experience mental ill health and emotional distress.
The Mindline support and information line is open on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 8pm to midnight on 01823-276892.

Berlin (Jan. 7)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Paul Cassirer, a leading German Jewish art dealer, attempted to commit suicide.
Herr Cassirer was a foremost exponent and defender of the impressionist school of art. He introduced French impressionism to the Germans and widely popularized Max Liebermann, George Kolbe and Max Slevogt, the German impressionists.
