Overview of Differences
Geocentric Datum of Australia and International Terrestrial Reference Frame
Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA94) is Australia's new coordinate system, which should be used in preference to any others. Based on the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 1992 (ITRF92) it is held fixed at 1 January 1994, hence the name GDA94. However since 1994, the Australian tectonic plate has been shifting approximately northeast at a rate of about seven centimetres per year. Since the whole of Australia is moving uniformly, this movement is not an issue, especially when obtaining positions relative to other GDA94 positions.
However, if a position is obtained directly from a global positioning system (such as GPS) the difference may be apparent. If the global position has a large uncertainty, such as a standard GPS point position with an accuracy of about 10 metres, it is still not an issue. However, when an accurate global position is obtained e.g. a global high accuracy differential GPS system with an uncertainty of a few decimetres, the difference becomes very relevant.
To maintain consistency in Australia, accurate International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) positions should be transformed to GDA94. This can be done using parameters based on the known GDA94 and continually updated ITRF positions of the Australian Regional GPS Network (ARGN). These parameters are updated regularly and will provide ITRF-GDA94 transformation at a given date, with an accuracy of a few centimetres.
International Terrestrial Reference Frame and WGS84 - GPS SystemThe GPS system (WGS84) has been refined on several occasions since its inception and is now aligned with the ITRF at the level of a few centimetres. For most people it is impossible to obtain a WGS84 position with an accuracy of better than a few metres, but it is now relatively easy to obtain ITRF positions with an accuracy of a few centimetres. (See AUSPOS - our free global GPS processing service). If accurate WGS84 positions are required, it is best to use ITRF positions.
Geocentric Datum of Australia and Australian Geodetic Datum
AGD66 and AGD84 both use the gazetted Australian Geodetic Datum (AGD). The coordinates differ only because of the readjustment using additional data and improved adjustment techniques. The difference between these two coordinate sets varies from about two metres in south east Australia to about five metres in the north west, but the variation is not uniform. The image shows a representation of this variation. Due to the inconsistent nature of AGD66, there are no national transformation parameters available to automatically transform between AGD66 and AGD84.
It may be possible to compute local parameters, but it is most often done by applying a block shift based on a comparison of sites in the area which have both AGD66 and AGD84 positions.
GDA94 is Earth-centred, but the Australian National Spheroid (ANS) used with AGD is offset from the Earth's centre of mass by about 200 metres. This means that AGD and GDA94 positions differ by about 200 metres. Methods to transform from AGD66 and AGD84 to GDA94 are available in chapter seven of the GDA Technical Manual .

There's a piece entitled Why the Promise of Biofuels is a lie by Robert Bryce. It is pretty anti biofuels, mainly ethanol, it doesn't talk about biodiesel. It is worth looking at for the way it pulls together a couple of sources on the plight of Brazilian sugar cane harvesters. Their lot is pretty hard. But […]

What can you do with a shuttered ethanol plant?
What can you do with a shuttered ethanol plant? Genomatica has found a way to make methylethyl ketone (MEK) an industrial solvent, according to Doris De Guzman in her Green Chemicals blog.
AMFI enewsletter arrives
I've just been sent a copy of the AMFI enewsletter. The AMFI is the group which is implementing the Agreement on Advanced Motor Fuels of the International Energy Agency. It appears four times each year, apparently, and gives around up of some of the more obscure, but vital legislation behind biofuels implementation. Contact email@example.com if […]
Will water be the limiting factor in biofuel production?
I have blogged in the past about the relationship between water and biofuels. There can't be conventional grain-based biofuels without water. But there was an interesting post on EurActive a little earlier today in response to the annual Davos meeting. This year it produced a Water Initiative. Buried deep (page 22),the Davos report it suggests […]
Peru eyes US for ethanol exports… perhaps
Greentech Media has a story about sugar cane ethanol from Peru, potentially being exported to the US. I think it is doubtful for a number of reasons… The delivered cost to a coastal blending plant in the US,would have to be competitive with home grown US ethanol. If it is competitive then the US has […]
ST1 has a plan for decentralised ethanol production
ST1 has an animation about its plans for decentralised ethanol production integrated with the existing gasoline distribution network. Looks interesting. Thanks to Hugh Baker
Ethanol from copy paper
It isn't particularly fast, and there is no detail on the yeild, but Japanese researchers have developed an enzyme-based route to producing ethanol from shredded copy paper. There is no information about whether the ink on the paper makes any difference to the quality of the fuel. p> Thanks to Hugh Baker
Direct ethanol fuel cells
Japanese researchers say they have gone some way to overcomnig the difficulties in using ethanol as a fuel cell material. Thanks to Hugh Baker
The corn-ethanol carbon balance argument again
There is an interesting video on Climate Central about the amount of carbon dioxide produced when ethanol is made from corn grown in the mid-West of the US. Hard to tell who is right in this debate (if any one is) the different premises are all important and few people seem to try and compare […]
Syngenta and Proteus in biofuel joint venture
I notice that Syngenta and Proteus have formed a joint venture to create enzymes to help make second generation biofuels. This is not Syngenta's first jv in this area. It would be intetresting to know how the different techologies complement each other.

Open daily Oct 1-31. Kykuit's modern and classical art collection, architecture, and expansive gardens are consistently rated the top attraction in the lower Hudson Valley, and draw tens of thousands of visitors annually. Kykuit, which means "lookout" in Dutch, includes a six-story stone house, multiple terraced gardens, art galleries, outdoor classical and modern sculpture, and commanding Hudson River views. Its hilltop location overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades is 500 feet above sea level. Visitors to Kykuit learn the story of the Rockefellers, beginning with John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil, whose business acumen made him the richest man in America in his day. He later became the country's first great philanthropist. By his death in 1937, he had given away more than half his fortune through various philanthropic programs. Visitors can choose from four tours: Classic, Grand, Timesaver, and Selected Highlights. The Classic, ideal for first-time visitors, is a shorter experience than the comprehensive, three-hour Grand. Besides the mansion, both of these tours include time in Kykuit's art galleries, gardens, and Coach Barn, with its collection of horse-drawn carriages, vintage automobiles, and equestrian equipment. The 90-minute Timesaver is ideal for those on tighter schedules, while Selected Highlights maximizes time in the gardens.

Dermatology Questions? Ask an Online Dermatologist.
Down the center of my back I have a VERY itchy rash. I have tried creams of all kinds and changed the type of bra I wear. I am down to wearing a T-shirt UNDER my bra. I NEVER use soap on my back and have learned to rinse my hair, etc. without getting suds on my back. The itch runs down the center and around my bra line.
dermdoc19 :
Would you be able to describe the rash? Would it be possible to have someone take a photograph and upload it. You would click on the tree icon and then upload. Thank you.
I don't think I can take a photo of it, but it's like small raised bumps...No scabs and it is pretty much localized. I would guess it has something to do with…a reaction to elastic which I can find NO creams for.
They are not hives, but little itchy red bumps?
Well hummmmm, I never thought of hives, but it is pretty constant and I think hives come and go....I have the rash on a daily basis, however if an allergy causes hives, then it could be hives. It does not happen any other place on my body except around my bra line and then the center of my back
If they are little red bumps, I would try Maximum Strength Cortaid Ointment twice a day. Also, I would purchase either Prax Lotion or Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion.
If you feel they are hive like, I would add Benedryl 25 mg. an hour before bedtimes and Allegra 60 mg. twice during the day.
If it is localized to the back like yours, it is more likely a contact dermatitis.
Thanks you for you help. I will try the above.
If this does not resolve the problem in three weeks, I would consult with a physician since you might need stronger medications. Do try to avoid elastic.
Thank you. I can't believe this system really works. I will recommend it to others.
You're welcome. Have a Happy New Year!
No I don't and thank you for you advise.. I have accepted all your answers so you
should have been paid.

Whedon Universe Costume Contest and Photoshoot
View Single Post

Join Date: Jul 2011

Sorry it took so long to get back to you all on the questions, but I'm sure you know how insanely busy we all get this time of year!
The schedule for the contest and the shoot are not likely to change unless we are required to to be able to fit in something with one of our celebrity guests. As of now that hasn't happened, but we get some of those updates at the last minute just like the rest of you a lot of times!
As for the rules for the contest, there aren't really a lot. It needs to be something from a Joss Whedon show/movie/etc. (sorry, Jed, Zack, and Mo's stuff won't count!) and it shouldn't be
pre-fab. If you show up wearing the Halloween Express version of Thor, you could still enter if you wanted to, but I wouldn't be expecting any prizes
I always make sure our judges have costuming experience themselves and while over all appearance is the main criteria they judge by, there have been many instances that the final tie breaker between two costumes comes down to them looking at the fine details and taking things like screen accuracy and skill into account. You guys always impress us and I'm sure you'll continue to this year!

After much prayer and searching for a place to help, they were able to contact a pastor in Iwaki who has asked them to bring water and gasoline. They have rented and loaded a truck with large tanks of water and about 60 liters of gasoline, along with a room-full of supplies like blankets, coats, boots, food.

Sofia is a building designed by architect Cesar Pelli for One Development Group. Located in San Pedro, Mexico, this building not only was designed by an internationally renowned architect, it also has the most generous specifications in every aspect: from automated appliances, to Leed certifications.
Our task was to communicate such sophistication and exclusiveness to their potential buyers. Therefore we created an identity that was the exact opposite of what we usually see for this kind of project.
Sofia's identity is formed by three very important axes:Logotype: the keys and the coat of arms are inspired by San Pedro's coat of arms.
Typography: we developed a custom typeface designed especially for Sofia, it is inspired by british san serifs.
Layout: the text and information arrangement is inspired by the typographical treatment used before grids were popularized by the swiss grid system.
Both the attention to detail and the brand's elements convey the greatness of Sofia's architectural project.

Revolutionary Guards Chief, Mohammad Ali Jafari, has stated in a meeting with a reported 20,000 members of the Alborz Basij that "a military attack against Iran isn't underway", calling such threats "hollow" and "empty". He added, "When the leaders of the regime occupying Jerusalem speak of an attack on Iran, immediately the leaders in the White House object to it and say we will not support a military attack on Iran".
This statement is clearly Jafari's attempt to moderate his alarmist comments last week in which said "we must all prepare for war".
Jafari also exhorted the authorities to ensure the "complete remedy of economic threats and make more effort so that the people aren't embroiled in difficulties".

Deep Silver have been keeping this title under close guard in the run up to E3 so it was great to get some more details on this zombie action FPS RPG hybrid title. IGN nabbed Vincent Kummer for a quick interview and to spill some more gory details on this zombie horror fest.
In terms of story, all we are told is that the outbreak has already happened and more about what has happened and why will be revealed as you play through the game. However, there will be side quests where you will be able to help other innocents who will then help you in return. The demo show had the player looking for two missing NPC characters.
During this demo where you control one of four characters, Logan, Vincent talks us through some of the more intricate details of what is Dead Island.
You start the game as just another visitor to the island so you will only have basic low level character abilities. Your character will depend on which of the four characters (Xian Mei, Logan, Sam B or Purna) you choose as each has their own strengths, weaknesses and background as well as a character class. These four character classes are Leader, Tank, Jack-of-All-Trades, and Assassin.
For example one will be best equipped for using blunt instruments whereas another will be great with sharp objects i.e. knifes, hatchets etc. Another will be very slow whereas the other is very fast.
These character specific attributes should lead to a different experience as you play thorough the game.
In regards to the levelling system, when you start off your character is obviously level 1, but as you go through the game killing zombies, taking on side quests (which you can accept or decline) and just general wandering around the island, you will earn experience points. Initially you will start with basic melee based combat but as you progress you will find and craft other weapons to fight the cause with. Side quests can also reward your character with mods.
The game is set in a large open world area, which will not just limit you to the tropical beach setting we have been only been shown so far. Vincent confirmed there will also be a jungle, city, police station, sewer and shopping mall settings, as well as indoor settings, each with various lighting effects to compliment them. Also with these new environments comes the chance to get new weapons, such as guns, ammo for which is scarce.
Moving between areas has been made relatively easy, although not all areas are accessible straight away. Hurdles include blocked off passages which clear after doing completing certain objectives or a group of higher level zombies than stand in your way until you're levelld up enough to successfully take them down.
When you do get to other areas, you can get from point A to point B either by vehicle or by a quick transport point. How or what these transport points will look like and operate was not discussed, but it stops the need to keep travelling by foot or car.
We were also introduced to the players stamina bar and one of the player specific special attributes. The player's stamina bar will add a much more strategic element as to how you traverse the Island and take on zombies. Aside from descreasing as you sprint, ff you go swinging your weapons all willie nilly, then your stamina will quickly decrease meaning you won't be able to fight of the hoard of oncoming zombies. Also if you use a weapon that doesn't suit your characters class, for example using a hammer as a knife specialist, each attack will use more stamina than usual.
One of the player specific special attributes shown lets us see Logan's 'Rage' mode, which you can activate once you fill the bar and can be replenished by kill zombies. Once activated, time slows down for around 20 seconds and Logan is transformed into a gutsy, bad ass knife throwing mo fo, each hit causing phenomenal damage.
You can see everything the player can do in the controller layout below:
Onto the weapons, how to craft them and how they degrade over time. Now just like Dead Rising 2, Dead Island focuses heavily on weapons and their customization. While we were not introduced to much, if you find blueprints for weapons (such as the C4 throwing knife), you can then go make it and as weapons decay you can upgrade and repair them.
If you think you will be finding guns all over the shop, then think again. While they are there, the developers have made finding enough ammo harder, so you will need to use your imagination and a focus on melee weapon instincts to truly survive. Melee weapons can also be thrown at zombies and retrieved from their dead(er) bodies.
4 player co-op online will offer a seamless jump in, jump out system. This has to be one of the best features of the game, where you and your friends will be able to jump in and jump out of each others games.
Not only that but this system has got some nifty background operations going on as well. When you are playing Dead Island, the game will unleash zombies realtively in comparison to your character level, with a few tougher ones for good measure. However, if someone else jumps into the game, then it will recalculate the levelsand amount of the zombies to compensate for the extra player, so it keeps offering a challenging experience.
Graphically the Dead Island environment is looking impressive, with various lighting effects to really complement the setting. Outdoors it bright and sunny and indoors it really is dark, gloomy and scary. For indoor sections, you will be best off using the torch.
The game has been designed specifically for the adult audience and the team want to not just give you some great in game gore, but also have the game be sensible at the same time. This means that in terms of weapons you can craft. there will not be anything too over the top. There will be lot's of blood with lots of limbs and heads flying all over the place as you slice and dice your way through zombie hordes.
If the games RPG style levelling system works as well as described by Vincent, then this could become one of the best action FPS/RPG open world hybrids we have seen in recent years. The inclusion of the 4 player online co-op with the instant jump in, jump out system will mean there will always be someone to play with, but rest assured, you can still go through the game alone if you want. Finished the story with one character and levelled them? Start all over again with another, adding lots of replayability.
Dead Island has certainly been hiding away for a while but with the recent details and what I saw of the gameplay demo, the game is looking incredible. The big question is can it really deliver on its promises? So far the answer seems to be a massive yes. Dead Island will be released in September this year, though no specific date has been given.

This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Professor Squidward" from season six, which aired on February 19, 2009.
- [Transitions to an outside view of the Bikini Bottom Recital Hall. Inside, on the stage is Squilliam Fancyson. Flowers are being thrown to him]
- Squilliam: Thank you. [he bows] Thank you. [he catches a flower and sniffs it] Ah.
- [Squidward, in a sweater the same color as his usual shirt, watches, irritated, in the audience. A fish next to him leans over him]
- Music Lover: Isn't it grand?
- Squidward: What is?
- Music Lover: He's such a great musician. He doesn't even have to touch an instrument to be brilliant! [The clarinet plays on a table besides Squilliam. He moves his arms towards it and the cheering of the crowd gets louder]
- Squidward: Alright, I've had enough! [He stands up and walks out] Bunch of nonsense!
- Music School Headmaster: Why, here he comes now.
- Music School Headmistress: [gasps] It is him!
- Squidward: Huh?
- Music School Headmistress: Aren't you the esteemed Squilliam Fancyson the Third, who we all came here to see perform tonight?
- Squidward: No, I am not, nor would I ever want to be! I am quite content being Squidward Q. Tentacles.
- Music School Headmistress: Oh, dear. Well, that's too bad.
- Squidward: Why?
- Music School Headmistress: Because I'm head matron at an esteemed musical college in town and thought if you were Squilliam Fancyson, I would offer you the high-paying and prestigious opportunity to come there and teach your very own music class.
- Squidward: My very own music class? Did you say "Squilliam Fancyson"?
- Music School Headmistress: Yes.
- Squidward: I'm... Squilliam Fancyson.
- Music School Headmistress: But didn't you just say a minute ago that your name was Squidward Q. Tentacles?
- Squidward: It is... No, I mean, uh, no, no, I didn't!
- Music School Headmistress: Well, that's a relief. I mean, what kind of a moron would go to their worst enemy's music recital?
- Music School Headmaster: A very pathetic one, that's whom. [both laugh]
- Squidward: [pretends to laugh] Oh.
- Music School Headmistress: Well, good evening, Professor Squilliam.
- Squidward: Who? Ha, um, uh, and a good evening to you as well. [runs off]
- Music School Headmaster: Hmm, music types.
- Music School Headmistress: Ooh, they're so strange.
- [Transitions to Squidward's music teaching lesson building. Inside, Squidward, wearing a large white curly wig, enters the classroom]
- Squidward: [clears throat] Good evening, students. Now, our first...
- Students: Good evening, Professor.
- Squidward: As I was saying, our first...
- [Billy puts his hand up]
- Squidward: Yes?
- Billy: Aren't you gonna write your name on the board like most professors do?
- Squidward: My-my name? What for?
- Billy: Well, you know, it just seems like teachers usually write their names on the board the first day of class.
- Squidward: [sighs] Why don't you come write your name on the board? We'll see how you like it.
- Billy: Okay.
- [Billy walks up to the board and writes his name]
- Squidward: There, now how does that feel, Billy?
- Billy: Okay, I-I guess.
- Squidward: Good. Now, why don't you take your seat and stop poking your nose into other people's business?! [Billy walks back to his seat] Now, if we can go for five minutes without having any further interruptions. I would like to...
- SpongeBob: [laughing and pointing at Squidward] Hey, look! It's Squid... [Squidward quickly puts his hand over SpongeBob's mouth, cutting off the rest of his speech]
- Squidward: Squilliam, everybody, he was about to say "Squilliam"!
- Patrick: Oh, a, oh, actually, I think he was about to say Squid... [Squidward puts his other hand over Patrick's mouth and Patrick mumbles]
- Squidward: [nervously] Didn't you two nincompoops know? I have my name legally changed to Squilliam Fancyson. And you are to refer to me only as Professor Squilliam from now until the end of time. Now blink twice so I know you understand. [Patrick and SpongeBob blink twice] Okay, good. [Patrick blinks one more time] Hey, he blinked three times!
- SpongeBob: Wow, only eight minutes in and we've already been given a math quiz. Very advanced music class, huh, Patrick?
- Patrick: I'll say.
- Squidward: Would you two numb skulls mind telling me what you're doing in music class anyway?
- SpongeBob: Sure! Patrick's New Year's resolution was to learn to play an instrument!
- Squidward: You told me your resolution was to sign up for an all natural slimming, toning, and increased muscle mass program!
- Patrick: It was. I traded with SpongeBob.
- SpongeBob: And I have been very happy with the results. See? [shows his muscular leg to Squidward]
- Squidward: Wow, those are impressive results.
- [Transitions to later in the classroom]
- Squidward: [clears throat] As you may not be aware, music is a... [SpongeBob giggles] Music is a... [SpongeBob giggles] Music is a complicated series of... [SpongeBob giggles. Squidward glares at the class] ...is a complicated series of notes that when played in the... [SpongeBob giggles. Squidward stomps up to him] SpongeBob, do you mind?! There are other people here besides you, you know. And I don't think they appreciate you depriving them of my wisdom!
- SpongeBob: [sighs] I'm sorry, Professor Squilliam. [SpongeBob winks at Squidward] Patrick here keeps tickling my foot.
- Patrick: No way! He's making that up! It was him!
- Squidward: You expect me to believe he was tickling himself?
- Patrick: You better tell him, SpongeBob.
- SpongeBob: Alright, it was me.
- Squidward: You were tickling yourself?
- SpongeBob: Mm hmm!
- Squidward: How?
- SpongeBob: Like this. [close up of him rubbing his shoes together. SpongeBob bursts out laughing and continuously rubs his feet together]
- Squidward: Alright, that's enough!
- [Transitions to show the students now in a straight line, with SpongeBob and Patrick at both ends]
- Squidward: There. Now, as I was saying, music is a series of complex... [SpongeBob laughs] SpongeBob, I told you to stop tickling yourself!
- Patrick: Actually, that time, it really was me.
- [Squidward looks baffled, transitions to later]
- Squidward: Now, I'm going to put some notes on the chalkboard. [Squidward goes to the board and draws a staff. Patrick starts whispering to SpongeBob] Excuse me? Is there something you'd like to share with the rest of the class?
- Patrick: Uh-uh.
- Squidward: Go on, you've already interrupted once. You might as well tell us what was so very important.
- Patrick: Well, I was just saying that these lines you drew remind me of a railroad track.
- Squidward: I have never heard anything more insipid, insane, uninteresting, or irrelevant!
- Patrick: Well, actually, there was a railroad convention in town last week, and I bought myself this nifty conductor's cap. [he takes out the hat and puts it on]
- Squidward: I have never seen a more ridiculous looking outfit on top of anybody's head, anywhere!
- Patrick: Well, I don't know. Suits my needs.
- Squidward: What else did you buy at this convention? Your very own locomotive? [starts laughing. Patrick pulls up a toy train]
- Patrick: Yes.
- Squidward: Ha! Ha! Ha! What the...?
- [Patrick, now shrunk down to the train's size, climbs into the train, toots the horn and drives the train on a track going past SpongeBob and the other students. It then goes into what appears to be a tunnel which is then shown to be a garbage can being held by Squidward. Squidward then takes the can outside and dumps it with the other cans, then he goes back inside]
- Squidward: Now, where were... [sees Patrick back in his seat] ...we?
- [Transitions to later]
- Squidward: This is what's known as a metronome.
- SpongeBob: Hey, my mom has one of those in her garden!
- Squidward: No, SpongeBob, that was a garden gnome.
- Squidward: [clears throat] Anyway, the metronome helps us keep time.
- [He starts the metronome and it starts ticking. SpongeBob and Patrick suddenly start staring at the metronome as though they are in a trance. They start swaying to the rhythm]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick...
- Squidward: Do you mind? [they don't respond] Is there something seriously wrong with your HEADS?!
- SpongeBob: My whole life has been pointed in one direction.
- Patrick: I see that now. There's never been any choice for me.
- Squidward: Will you two nincompoops cut it out?! Or am I gonna...
- [Knocking on the door. A news reporter and a cameraman enter the classroom]
- Bikini Bottom News Reporter: Hello! We're with the local Bikini Bottom News Channel. I'm a reporter. [Squidward gasps and neatens his wig] We're here to conduct an interview with the esteemed musical genius Squilliam Fancyson.
- [SpongeBob and Patrick are still ticking]
- Squidward: Please ignore them.
- Bikini Bottom News Reporter: Are those students of yours?
- Squidward: Nope, they're just morons. Come on, you two, snap out of it!
- Bikini Bottom News Reporter: They appear to be in some type of trance. A case of genuine hypnosis like this make a much hotter scoop.
- Squidward: Hotter? Scoop?!
- Bikini Bottom News Reporter: Well, it's the sort of thing that borders the paranormal. Our viewers just eat that stuff up.
- Squidward: Paranormal?! The only thing paranormal around here is how fast I'm going to make you two disappear!! [he starts pushing the reporter and cameraman out of the room]
- Bikini Bottom News Reporter: Don't blame me, blame the market. [Squidward slams door. A bell rings and SpongeBob and Patrick jolt as though they have woken up]
- SpongeBob: Wha...? Where am I? I felt like I was in some sort of horrible trance. [Squidward's eyes narrow angrily]
- Squidward: You wanna know what happened?
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Okay!
- Squidward: You once again managed to single-handedly annihilate what might be the one and only chance I may ever get to sew just one tiny seed of creative hope into the culturally barren wasteland that each and every one of us is forced to call home!
- Blue Fish: Actually, I've been commuting from upstate.
- Squidward: Now, I don't suppose you two have anything to say for yourselves?
- SpongeBob: Well, I guess if I was to say one thing, it would have to be: We're sorry, Squidward. [Squidward looks horrified]
- Patrick: Yeah, we're sorry, Squidward.
- Squidward: No, no, no, no, no! Shh shh shh...
- Blue Fish: Hey, did those guys just call you Squidward?
- Squidward: No, no, no, no, no! They said "Squilliam"!
- Gray Fish: Oh! I knew this guy was phoney from minute one! I'm gettin' outta here.
- Blue Fish: Yeah, me too! I'm gonna get my tuition back!
- Squidward: No! Wait! [Everyone walks to the door and Squidward blocks it] No! You're not going anywhere!
- [The door is smashed open and several police fish run in. Squidward, who was flattened against the wall by the door, is grabbed by them]
- Squidward: Wha-What's going on here?
- Aqua-Colored Police: Sorry, Professor, your little symphony is over.
- [Music School Headmistress and the real Squilliam Fancyson are there]
- Music School Headmistress: It's true, we're onto your little ruse! [The reporter and cameraman are there too]
- Bikini Bottom News Reporter: What a hot scoop!
- Music School Headmistress: The real Squilliam, as we all know, has a large, bushy unibrow just at the base of his forehead. [She points to Squilliam's unibrow]
- Squidward: But...
- [A police fish takes Squidward's wig off]
- Green Police Fish: No unibrow. Squidward Q. Tentacles, I'm placing you under arrest for impersonating a genius.
- [Squidward is handcuffed and taken away by the police. SpongeBob takes out the metronome, starts it, and he and Patrick start swaying to the rhythm again]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick...

Yates County Chapter of SCOPE recognizes Senator O'Mara as Second Amendment supporter
Penn Yan, N.Y., January 26—The Yates County Chapter of SCOPE (Shooters Committee on Political Education) recently recognized State Senator Tom O'Mara (R-C, Big Flats) as its "2011 Politician of the Year."
SCOPE, which has chapters throughout New York State, was founded in 1965 by a group of western New York firearms owners. The organization is focused on the "protection and preservation of the right of firearms ownership as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States."
O'Mara, an avid sportsman and one of the Legislature's strongest Second Amendment advocates, welcomed the group's long-standing and ongoing efforts to promote responsible firearms ownership and to oppose state and federal legislation seeking to restrict Second Amendment rights.
In the photo, from left to right, are William Button, Treasurer of the Yates County Chapter of SCOPE; Senator O'Mara; John E. Prendergast, Chairman of the Yates County Chapter; and Stephen J. Aldstadt, SCOPE State President.

The world is full of paradoxes but there aren't very many stranger than the one that is Maurice Lacoste, a Sephardic Jew born in Salonica under the Turkish flag, publishing the illustrated French language newspaper. Amerique. The explanation of how this came about was revealed to the Jewish Daily Bulletin yesterday in the offices of the publication, 137 West Twenty-seventh street, by the publisher himself. In shirt sleeves, he was at his work despite the fact he had earned a vacation by reason of having just put out his first anniversary issue.
In the presence of his charming and vivacious black-haired French wife who he kept reminding us was the editor of the publication, Mr. Lacoste explained how it is that he speaks French so well that he is mistaken for a native.
In Turkey during the old regime, Jews had complete freedom. Not being Moslems, the government held that they weren't real Turks and despite their citizenship they were treated as respected resident aliens. They had their own school systems, their own tribunals, even their own police officers.
Thus a majority of the Jews went to the school maintained in Salonica by the Alliance Israelite Universelle. French, looked upon as a cultural and civilized language, was adopted as a native tongue by the Sephardim of Salonica. And so when Lacoste left Salonica in 1911 with the coming to power of the Young Turks, it was natural that he turned to French life on his arrival in the United States. As a member of the staff of a French daily in New York and in the printing business, his contacts were with the French speaking population here which numbers some 100,000 persons.
Talking about Salonica, which is now a part of Greece and recently was the scene of anti-Semitic outbreaks, Mr. Lacoste told of how contented the Jews were there up until about 1910 when the Young Turk movement first gained headway.
"In those days," he said, "we were an entity unto ourselves. The Jewish community, which is some 300 years old, governed itself. Why, the rabbi could order a Turkish police officer to arrest a Jew for smoking on the Sabbath.
"With the birth of Turkish nationalism under the Young Turks, Jews lost their privilege of self-government. This caused a great migration, in fact caused my immigration to the United States."
After coming to this country Mr. Lacoste left and resided for some time in France, where he met and married his wife. Today he is principally interested in the development of Franco-American relations, a meeting of the interests of his two adopted countries.

Along with a team of other Intramural Supervisors, a supervisor plans and implements an extensive intramural program for the entire college body from start to finish.
- Each semester, plan and coordinate one to two large sports or multiple small sports.
- Publicize the sport
- Collect rosters and create a schedule
- Train and schedule referees
- Hold a tournament
- Wrap up and evaluation
- On-site supervising for sports in which you are not the main supervisor
- Supervisors take turns working each night
- Attend a weekly staff meeting
- Maintain equipment, facilities and fields
It is not necessary a student knows how to do the above duties or even referee. New supervisors take a smaller role in their first semester while learning the job. It is crucial a person comes in with a positive attitude and a desire to work with a team.
- 2.5 minimum GPA
Supervisor: LeRon Collier

Blackberry fans will only be happy if the browser is fast enough for them. Currently I have a Moto Droid, and I used my buddies Blackberry Tour the other day and was blown away with hoe long I had to wait for a website to come up. Unless RIM decides to scrap their current browser for something faster, it will still be the same slow experience that people are having right now on 3G. I look forward to the Motorola and HTC phones, and kind of look forward to see what LG will do. 4G is rapidly approaching, and when it hits, Verizon wont even have a 4G device, so what is the point of putting out the network, if no one can utilize it?

Blackberry is about to release BB OS 6.0...in that there is a new "web kit" browser...the same web kit that iPhone, Android, and Web OS use...not sure if it will be a hit or a failure, we will see when it comes out. I've heard reports that VZW will have an LTE handset late this year or Q1 of 2011. I've also read that VZW is going to roll out 4G much faster. They've already been testing LTE on the DL in some markets...

I'm still trying to solve the Ravenclaw tower location...I think I've narrowed it down to the Astronomy Tower or Central Tower.
Based on the image abve of Helena Ravenclaw floating, she seems to be at the Transfiguration/Middle Courtyard. In HP7 Part 2, she flies out of the Cloistered corridor and floats above the courtyard. It seems the Cloistered corridor connects the Astronomy Tower to the Central Tower, that's how I assume Ravenclaw Tower is one of those. Plus, in the Half-Blood Prince videogame, the Transfiguration Courtyard is decorated with Ravenclaw flags. Any thoughts? WhoDaFoo123 03:53, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
I reckon it is going around the Central Tower Courtyard. It's too high to be going around the Middle Courtyard. Therefore, we can assume that the Cental Tower is Ravenclaw Tower as well.220.127.116.11 21:48, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, but Harry is on the corridor that surround the Middle Courtyrad, so in the picture is seen the Suspension Bridge Towers and the Astronomy Tower, where the bridge starts. Also, que grass are seen too under the Grey Lady.Lestrange97 14:40, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
Hey, just seen this, I have been trying to work this out for AGES. This scene appears to show harry walking back and forth around a general |_| shape. The tower that Helena haunts lies here: o|_| (the o to that shape). When Helena floats outside and Harry runs along the bottom dash, he grabs the window frames (or whatever they're called) and in the distance you can see the two Bell Towers in the distance, so it follows that the windows that she is facing, in the above picture, are at the base, or some way up. the, Central Tower, as we know that along from the Central Tower are the Bell Towers. Now, the picture above is confusing as there is a building that appears to overlook the court below, and I'm not sure where this is, however I can only assume that it's something to do with what was left over when they got rid of the training grounds tower (a building, along the west side of the courtyard, that can be seen when Dumbledore is thrown from the Astro tower). This odd building can ONLY be seen in the films, and is not, as far as I've found, on any official blueprints (like the ones in Harry Potter: Page to Screen). I think that the tower Helena haunts is the smallest tower on the side of the Astronomy Tower, the one that Ron and Lavender run up in HBP after Hermione cries. It must be connected somehow to the corridor Harry is walking along like so (the dashes being the southern, flat, side of the Astro tower, and the /\ representing the spire of the Central tower): O---o|_|/\|_|. I do NOT think that the Central Tower is Ravenclaw tower, as the dormitories and common rooms ought to be located about the Quadrangle, as is tradition in the oldest universities - the academic part of the castle (where there would be a number of disused and empty rooms, attics, and towers due to the nature and variation of classes) is where all this action happens. I do not believe that there is a courtyard at the base of the Central Tower as this wikia suggests, the courtyard pictured on that page is the Middle Courtard. Nb. It might be worth noting that the Newest tower, with the bridge attached, off the Quadrangle, is Ravenclaw Tower - where there common room is located (it has massive, Astronomy tower like windows, and their common room was described as having excellent views) and as such, this is where Harry follows Luna up the stairs. However, they move to the other part of the castle, not too far away, to find the small secluded and empty tower where Helena haunts. Does all of that make sense? John

NXP wants to give you money
15 comments post a comment
Today, the company has kicked off its contest and is looking for RF engineers and students to submit creative application ideas for RF power devices.
Now that I have your attention, let's talk about NXP's High Performance RF Design Challenge. Today, the company has kicked off its contest and is looking for RF engineers and students to submit creative application ideas for RF power devices.
The NXP HPRF Design Challenge will award prizes to design entries based on criteria including creativity, design efficiency, usefulness, originality and proof of concept. Prizes worth $25,000 include an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2011 MTT-S International Microwave Symposium in Baltimore, Maryland, US.
Here are the highlights/important dates for your reference:
The NXP High Performance RF Design Challenge will take place in three phases:
- Phase I: Conceptual Design – January 10, 2011 to February 20, 2011
- Phase II: Hardware Design – February 28, 2011 to April 24, 2011
- Phase III: Prototype – May 2, 2011 to May 29, 2011
The Conceptual Design Phase requires an initial design, including an abstract, title and block diagram. Contestants receive a free HPRF Design Challenge kit once a valid entry has been submitted.
During the Hardware Design Phase, each contestant will develop and provide a proof of concept of a working prototype – for example, as a video or as a measurement report – as well as an accompanying bill-of-materials, schematics, layout file and other design-related material.
A group of finalists from EMEA, Asia Pacific and the Americas will enter the Final Prototype Phase, during which each contestant will be given an opportunity to polish his or her design in a regional NXP HPRF design lab, with transportation and accommodation costs covered by NXP.
For more information, head here: www.hprf-design-challenge.nxp.com.
If you plan to participate, please comment below. And Good Luck! I'm looking forward to seeing the winners in Baltimore.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Geography is a field that uses an interdisciplinary approach to understand patterns of human activity and natural processes on the surface of the earth. Geographers are often called upon to analyze and solve problems that deal with interactions between people and the environment. Geography appeals to students who have a wide range of interests that involve human activities and their impacts on the natural environment.
Geographic Information Science is a set of techniques that include Cartography (the art and science of map making), GIS - Geographic Information Systems (the analysis of spatial patterns), and Remote Sensing (the analysis of satellite imagery). These techniques are useful in displaying, understanding, and analyzing spatial relationships. Many other disciplines, such as biology, business, marketing, criminal justice, land use planning, and urban studies utilize mapping techniques.
Studying geography and geographic information science at UWRF provides the skills to engage in a variety of careers. Through a combination of coursework and internships students gain first hand experience in geographic analysis. The use of computer technologies, through GIS and mapping, are areas where students may develop additional expertise. The department offers a Geography major and minor, and a minor in GIS/ Cartography.
The geography faculty are all active specialists in the fields of geography and GIS. Several of them have won college teaching awards for excellence in the classroom, and all are dedicated advisors for our students. The Geography Department provides classes where one gets to know and learn from their professors.
Matthew Holub, Award for Academic Excellence
Alexander Meincke and Rachel Potter, Student Leadership Award
Joshua Leonard, Outstanding Cartographer
Heather VanGuilder, Geography Scholarship Award
Kirsten Schmidt, Map of the Year Award
Hailey Breister, Map of the Year - Honorable Mention

On Saturday June 30, 2012, a number of humanists gathered at the Sunset Grill in Kitsilano before joining the 30th Anniversary Vancouver Walk for Peace.
Before joining the 30th Anniversary Walk for Peace, we sat down at the Sunset Grill in Kitsilano for a pleasant brunch. After brunch we wandered over to the beach to gather with the crowd before the walk began.
The rainy weather may have kept some of the crowds away, but we were happy to represent freethought and science, in light of the numerous conspiracy theories and opening prayers. Among the conspiracy theorists present were a small number of people who were convinced that "chemtrails" (the condensation that follows high-altitude jet airplanes) were being used by Monsanto to poison the crops and that Vancouver's recent rainy weather was due to these chemicals.
But the majority of the walkers were there for peace and the drivers that passed us generally honked in support of that message.

Clairton defensive end Desimon Green, one of the WPIAL's most highly recruited players, and defensive end Max Issaka, from Woodbridge High School (N.J.), verbally committed to Pitt yesterday.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Green chose the Panthers over Texas Tech, Michigan and Michigan State.
The rising senior also plays quarterback for Clairton and led the Bears to the PIAA Class A title in 2009. He had a team-record 26 sacks as a junior, which caught the attention of nearly a dozen college programs. At quarterback, Green passed for more than 1,600 yards and rushed for 900 more last season.
The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Issaka, rated by Rivals.com as the No. 24 weakside defensive end in the nation, picked Pitt over Rutgers.
Pitt has landed three defensive ends in four days. Pitt has 14 verbal commitments for next year's class.
Green is the second WPIAL recruit for Pitt from the Class of 2011.

Voodoo, magic or what?

Re: Voodoo, magic or what?
Cost is $184 plus shipping for 1 quart each of the bottom coat and top coat plus hand held sprayers that are resistant to harsh solvents (xylene and accetone).
Abrasion is the biggest enemy of this stuff. Also Natural oils from the skin will cause failure of product.
So for Icing guides I would think it would work good. As far as gloves, it would work good also. But the question for both of these applications is how long will it last? I can see gloves for fishing that have the finger tips removed being problematic. The oils from you skin will cause the coating on the inside to fail faster than the outside. So that if water will start soaking or "pooling" on the inside after awhile. The guides would work great until the abrasion wears it off. I would suspect the abrasion from line on guides would be localized on the bottom of the guides where the line would run as if your fighting a fish. The rest of the guide would still be coated. But I would be concerned that as the ice starts building up on the areas that have had coating worn away it would even start forming over coated areas.
A neat product but as always the devil is in the details. I might give it a try. Gloves would be the first thing I 'd try.

On The Americans Season 2, Susan Misner Is Made a Series Regular06/14/2013
On The Americans Season 2, Susan Misner Is Made a Series Regular
Here's the latest on The Americans from The Spoiler Room At EW Online by Sandra Gonzalez June 13th, 2013.
I'm missing The Americans even more than I anticipated. Any scoop for me? — Jessica
Well, Noah Emmerich stopped by this week to take EW's Pop Culture Personality Test (you'll see it soon), and while here, I baited him for some dish on the second season, which will see Susan Misner, who plays his wife, Sandra (good name!), promoted to a series regular. "I think there's a lot to explore in the relationship with my wife," he says, "but what's going to happen, I can't say, because I don't know. Obviously, she's an integral part of the show, and she's there for the long haul." Emmerich also shared that while his character Stan might be hoping for brighter days, he's hoping for quite the opposite. "Stan, we left him in quite a tortured spot. He's been put through the wringer pretty thoroughly, and I hope that continues because that's fun to act," he says. "And we do learn more about his backstory. I think there's a lot of material to mine there. We've alluded to a lot of intensity and darkness in his past, and I think it'd be interesting for the audience to learn more about from where he came."
The Americans does not have a new episode currently scheduled.

Vaalu has been in the making since a long time. People have wondered over the delay in the progress of the film. Now, producer SS Chakravarthy has given a hint about it. Well, the break up of Hansika Motwani and Simbu, the lead stars of the movie, has put the flick in trouble.
