I'm kind of a history buff. Growing up in Colorado and spending weekends and summers in the Colorado Rockies, exploring old ghost towns around gold and silver mines and boomtowns gone bust, got me into the background of our metals.
Have you ever held a coin - maybe an old silver dollar, or even a brand new Silver Eagle or Silver Maple - and tried to imagine where it's been? Can you imagine what that old Morgan silver dollar meant to someone back in 1878, besides just the pay for a full day's work? Or maybe a Peace silver dollar, which might have been made out of melted down old worn-out Morgans. Maybe that little bit of silver has been fought over. Maybe someone died for it. Maybe it's been carried in pockets on old steam trains, sailing ships, on horseback or mule. It may have been to foreign countries.
Even more intriguing is that gold coin. Maybe it was once Aztec gold - an old gold cup or bowl, confiscated by the Spanish and taken back to Spain while the Aztecs or Mayans lay dying of smallpox. Maybe that gold coin was once part of a king's treasury, later melted and used to pay a nation's debts.
Just wondering - any of you guys ever hold a piece of metal and wonder just where all it's been, and what it's meant to people in years past?

Print ready files: PDFs won't convert (keep having an error)
So, I am using Indesign CC to make a print book. I'm using Lulu's full bleed PDF job options. I've used these job options before on the same indesign files I'm using now, but have started having problems.
The problem I am having is, I recently updated my Indesign document (corrected some typos) and exported it the same way as usual, but when I get to the stage where I have to convert the PDF to a print ready file... it takes several hours, and then gives me an unexpected internal error message.
I've tried re-exporting the PDF from indesign a few times and doing this again, I've tried making a new project from scratch. Same problem.
I've found I can get the PDFs if I export them as separate chapters to convert into individual print ready files, but the conversion process breaks when I try to export them all together.
I also tried making a print ready file by adding all the separate chapters to the book and then running the converter, but while it can handle them individually, it fails if I try to add them all to the project together. This would not be ideal in any case because I need the document to have bleed, and combining individual chapters results in losing that.
The files are well under the maximum, at just slightly over 80mb, so I know that's not the issue.
I really really need to get this book ready this week and make an order, I've sent an email to Lulu, but haven't heard from them yet. I know they try to get back to people ASAP and I would give them that I've actually been impressed by their customer service thus far.. but this is a situation where I'm really in a hurry to update the project with typos fixed and get it shipped off. I've been trying for 2 days to get the file to convert to print ready.
What should I do?
In case it matters, creating the print ready file seems to progress to about 90%, hang for a good long while and then progress to the end only to show the error and not allow me to proceed beyond this step. I've checked and the print ready file will show up in my files, but that does me no good since I can't go to the next step in the content creation wizard.
I've been having similar problems. Support only said "Image rich files have been causing our converter to time out. I'm going to run some test uploads and see if I can get it to work. I'll be in touch soon when I know more."
He hasn't been back in touch and all I get are errors at the moment
As Salith commented, file analysis for complex files can take some time.
I recommend you both contact our print support team.
They will be happy to have a look at your files and provide recommendations for speeding the process. In the mean time, I can suggest you flatten the file and remove all transparencies before you upload it.
It is a image intense book, there's at least one big image on each page, but it being graphically intense is pretty important to me. I exported it with transparency flattening, but it doesn't help, still seems to be timing out. I've been trying to do this for 3 days now. I never had problems with image intense files before, so I'm guessing this has something to do with a recent update to the system.
I've messaged them, but am pretty sure I'll just hear the same thing the other poster with this same issue heard.
In any case, this makes sense, it does seem to be timing out, but I've tried... well over 10 times to do this in the last 3 days now, no luck yet.
Exactly my problem, exact description of how it goes on my end, with all graphic-intensive books. I managed some books by (get this) opening the original PDF, using a PDF printer which comes out with a 300dpi no-vector PDF file (each page becomes a 300dpi image), which bumps a 40MB file into 300MB+ (also wastes a long time converting). It worked on two different books (resulting books reached me just fine). No luck with the third (and since the "unexpected error" is so misterious, there's no telling if it ever will work like that again).
This issue is of particular interest to our print support team.
We are actively investigating the cause and seeking a solution.
Did anyone find a solution? As for myself, I emailed support and had no reply. :-\
PS.: post author, please let me know if I'm disrupting this thread, we're in the same situation but I'll understand and take the discussion elsewhere if you prefer.
I having same problem
I just resaved file as PDF/A and flattened it and that seems to have done trick

M. E. SHEATH ReaderI'm having the same issue, all okay on prevous occasions, just won't budge this time.
Hi all,
Just wanted to add that I too have a problem of being stuck at the "Please be patient, Lulu is making your print-ready file" page.
I've uploaded a 8MB PDF file, generated by LaTeX, like I have done dozens of time before w/o problems. This time however, I seems to get stuck. Will be happy to provide more info if this will help you debug.
Nevermind, the problem seems to have been on my side --- i just recreated a PDF verion 1.4 (instead of 1.5) and the print-ready process ran fine.
Just Kevin Lulu Genius
It can often be the fault of how busy Lulu's site is, and even how busy the Internet is, even how many in one's own street are on line, and Wireless does not help either. People tend to forget that a site and/or tool they are using on one, could be 1,000s of miles away down a mesh of wires, cables, microwaves, mainframes etc etc, and that the transmissions are split in to little Packets that wizz around trying to find the fastest route, hopefully all melding together at the right place, in both directions. I wont even bother to add that one's own PC and router and ISP can make a difference too, speed etc. We just take it all for granted.
I just come back later.
One thing I have discovered is that if one steps back a process in the Wizard, then forward again, the up-load or conversion has happened anyway, it's just not told you! It was the tool's progress bar that stuck. (Although you should get a mail to say it has converted.)
In the midst of this same problem. Support has reached out, and, initially suggested I get the file size down (originally it was a 700M PDF, and is now a 450M file). Still not converting.
It's a very image intensive book (graphic novel).
Any suggestions on what to do (or not do) in InDesign?
Kaitlyn Sanchez ReaderI'm facing the same issue. It will get to 90% on the print-ready file page and then give a non-specific error. I tried to call Lulu but they are out of office until Monday.
Hey Kaitlyn,
Sorry to hear about the error. I noticed our converter doing that while I was working on a project recently too.
I suggest trying to run the converter a couple more times. It may well be a glitch on our end that's showing that error when it shouldn't.
I found your support case as well and passed that to a member of our team, they'll reach out to you as soon as they can to assist.
It has happened with every single project I started in the last two weeks. Therefore, instead if 10 hours of uploading time it took me 30. It happened at the PDF interior conversion, at the cover stage, back and forth 5 or 10 times. Truly, I think fixing this should be a priority. So, as John Haines says, go back and forth back and forth, refresh, back and forth, until it works. Good luck.
A citizen of the world.
Part of the issue may also relate to network problems. I've noticed when my service goes down, it also goes down in places on both east and west coasts, Houston, New Orleans, and so on.
Even if your local internet service is working fine, if there are connectivity problems down the line it can affect what you're trying to do with a project on Lulu.

Cameron, 100% sure it's the lulu upload and conversion software. I have perfect high speed internet and have been around the uploading block an embarrassing amount of times. It needs to be fixed. I have other work to upload and I am dreading it.A citizen of the world.
I'm not saying the upload / conversion software doesn't need an update. What I am saying is there may be more contributing to the problem than just the software itself.
The internet may work perfectly in one geographic area while having issues in another geographic area. I've been around the block as system support where a facility in one state was up and had great connectivity while a plant in a different state (hundreds of miles away) was unable to connect due to local issues.Em_Press said:Cameron, 100% sure it's the lulu upload and conversion software.

It's a serious problem. It needs to be fixed ASAP. Lulu users should not hesitate before they publish a book. Nor should there be so many suggestions to contact support only to have them disappear once you go back and forth ten times. This is bad business. End of story. Lulu software must work perfectly. It should be the first priority.
A citizen of the world.
Perhaps if the developers enlist a few end-users (such as yourself) who have experienced problems on a test platform they can find solutions.
Back when I did system support we tested with actual end-users and it was amazing the glitches they found as opposed to the developers. The reason being the developers know how a system is supposed to work so they have a good idea what not to do. End-users on the other hand have varying levels of expertise and will often push a system's limits.
As for software working perfectly, I'm still looking for that critter, but that's another story.

I think if they test it with any book they will see the same thing.
But your idea is a good one.
So I was aware of this being an issue for some users, but it wasn't triggering our threshold to get our QA team involved. Maybe there's some bigger issue at work here. I'll check in and try to get an update as soon as I can.
Thank you, Paul. It's every single book.
A citizen of the world.
Perhaps it would help if the QA were to have a few interested end-users participating?
It would help to test on at least a mild cross-section of the different operating systems available and being used to upload the files that might shed some light on what's happening.
Win XP, 7, 8, 10, Perpetual Rental
Ubuntu (whatever flavor, I think mine is Leaping Lizards or something like that)
Mac OS (I can't keep track)
As well a further testing qualifier would be file type uploaded, from .doc to .odt to .pdf.Paul_Lulu said:So I was aware of this being an issue for some users, but it wasn't triggering our threshold to get our QA team involved.

So, the response I have just received was that the issue had to do with server capacity. Our servers were getting more conversion requests than they could handle, causing perfectly good projects to error out.
I'm told we've upped server capacity. If you're still seeing the error please submit a support ticket as well as posting here. The more visibility we have, the more likely we can get the problem fixed.
Ok, great, thank you, Paul. I will try a new batch this weekend.
aspengrove ReaderI have a similar problem, but my 200mb image-intensive PDF processes a print-ready PDF just fine, then several days later after I've ordered the book I get an error that the printing failed and the order is cancelled and being refunded. Tried it twice, support just says my file must be "too big" and they have no suggestions for how to fix it. Anyone else experience this, I've got clients waiting on these books and I'm desperate for help!
The file size issue is likely a result of the print ready file expanding. If you compresses the file at all before uploading, it may be getting un-compressed when we prep it for print. Then, when the file sends to our printers it takes so long for them to download it times out, resulting in the error.
That said, 200mb isn't that big, so I'm surprised you're getting that error. I would start with ensuring all your images are 300dpi resolution and that the entire document is flattened. If you continue to work with our support team, they can always offer additional advice and assistance.

...about $30's worth of them, from Granville Island in Vancouver. We splurged. And the nice shrimp lady gave us some extra, and some just-in candied salmon as a present.
They were beautiful shrimp. I don't remember exactly how I prepared them, after cleaning them and laying them in neat rows in a long pyrex dish. I was going to broil them, turning them just once. Rosemary, garlic, Vermouth and small tomatoes were involved.
When the time came to turn them, I opened the oven and pulled out the rack they were sitting on. Instead of stopping where it should've the rack and its passengers in their scorching-hot conveyance, fresh from 500'F, shot towards me and across the kitchen, flinging shrimp left and right.
I screamed. It was a good time to scream.
Vince rushed in, assessed damage to my feet and person (none) and then started to scoop shrimp from the floor. We're eating these shrimp, I muttered. Yes we are, he affirmed.
Back they went into their pyrex. It was a clean floor. Whatever.
When they were done I took the pink crustaceans out of their dish and put them in a bowl while I deglazed the pyrex on the stove with some Vermouth (yes, it's all coming back to me now). I had just poured the rich, creamy sauce over them and placed the pyrex back onto the hot plate when
Ringing ears and shellshock...
Vince rushed back in.
Pyrex, shards of glass everywhere.
I exploded the dish, I said. Unnecessarily.
We started to pick up slivers of sharp glass from the floor. And the stove. Then we considered the shrimp, sitting 6" away from ground zero. They look fine, I said.
Hm, said my husband. He disappeared and returned with a headlamp. He might not have All Clad but he has headlamps. We inspected them inch by inch. I see nothing: we're eating them, I said doggedly.
Hm, said Vince. Then something glittered on a shrimp shell. A minute piece of glass.
Hm, said Vince.
I dredged some shrimp up from the bottom of the bowl, where they would have been sheltered from the blast, and put them on my plate. I put some on his plate. We went to the table and had a slug of cold white wine. You could have heard a pin drop. I peeled and ate a shrimp, and it tasted really good. Vince looked about as unhappy as I have ever seen him look, put one in his mouth and chewed.
Quietly I took them back to the kitchen and binned them.
You know how long it takes for take-out pizza to arrive in Vancouver?
One Hour!!!!
While I recovered at the computer Vince sent a snack out from the kitchen, temporarily off limits to my person. Some pate and a cornichon, from our favourite purveyor and duck prosciutto-provider on Granville Island.
We ate the very passable pizza (margharita with mushrooms and anchovies) and watched Nemo again.
And lived through the night.

Fit matters. As powerful as their full-sized counterparts, Thompson/Center's compact models bring smaller, shorter and growing shooters hunting rifles that are as accurate as they are comfortable to shoot.
This light, 6.75-pound rifle has a stock that is a full 1-inch shorter to ensure comfortable fit for smaller, shorter and growing shooters. It also has a 20-inch precision barrel that features the Venture's distinctive 5R rifling and MOA guarantee, making an accurate rifle that also fits comfortably.
Featuring a 1 inch removable spacer, the Thompson/Center Impact gives shooters the power of a muzzleloader with a more comfortable fit.
A leader in versatility, the Encore can be designed for small caliber shooting with a shortened Bantam stock — a good size for shooters who prefer a shorter length of pull.
Thompson/Center knows that the best shot comes from a gun that fits. The Venture Compact, Impact, G2 Contender and Dimension® platform all come with removable spacers, giving shooters reliable guns that can be adjusted for the perfect fit.
Your hunt doesn't stop when the snow starts falling. If your rifle feels uncomfortable shooting while wearing bulky winter clothes, consider a compact rifle to shorten your length of pull and counter the weight of bulky clothes.
For small-stature and growing shooters, recoil management plays a role in keeping their shot on target. Before selecting a hunting rifle, practice shooting several calibers and guns to find the right fit. Be sure to select a caliber that is suitable for the game you want to hunt, but is still comfortable enough to practice with.
T/C doesn't compromise features to make a smaller gun. The low-priced, best-selling features of the full-size Venture are still present in every Venture Compact, including its innovative 5R rifling and MOA guarantee.
Whether you're putting dinner on the table or just enjoying time together outside, hunting with your family is a tradition that many people are keeping alive across the U.S. With T/C's compact firearm options, you can be sure that every member of your family has a well-fitted firearm, including growing hunters.
The T/C Impact isn't your grandfather's muzzleloader. With a sleek modern look, improved accuracy and optimum reliability, it combines the challenge of hunting with a muzzleloader with an adjustable spacer and other features that will keep your shot right on target.
At the end of the day, one size doesn't fit everyone and no hunter needs to settle for an oversized hunting rifle that doesn't fit right. Considering many women have a smaller frame and longer neck, a compact rifle is a good option to provide the lightweight, comfortable fit that leads to the perfect shot.

Trout named Baseball America's Player of Year
Outfielder claims award for second consecutive season
Mike Trout has been named Baseball America's Player of the Year for the second straight season, further proof that the Angels' superstar outfielder accomplished what many deemed impossible in 2013: He actually met expectations after all the hype that surrounded an historic rookie season in '12.
In fact, some would say he even exceeded them.
Trout's 2013 slash line (.323/.432/.557) almost mirrored the one from his '12 campaign (.326/.399/.564). He led the American League in runs (109) and walks (110), set a franchise record for on-base percentage and easily led the Majors in fWAR for a second straight season (10.4), all while adding 27 homers, 97 RBIs, 33 steals and 190 hits.
He's the first player in AL history with 100 walks, 70 extra-base hits and 30 stolen bases in the same season, the first in AL history with 25 homers, 30 steals and 100 walks in a season, and the youngest player in Major League history -- as well as the first Angels player ever -- to post back-to-back 20-homer, 30-steal campaigns.
Trout, who turned 22 on Aug. 7, joined Willie Mays (1957-58) as the only players in history with two seasons with a .320 average, 25 homers and 30 steals at any point in their careers.
Baseball America has been handing out the Player of the Year award since 1998, and last year, Trout became the first player to win Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year in the same season. However, he still finished second to Miguel Cabrera for the AL's Most Valuable Player Award, and the Tigers' third baseman, with a .348 batting average, 44 homers and 137 RBIs in 2013, is expected to win it again.
Asked about his chances for the MVP late in the season, Trout said: "I think it's going to be another thing like last year. I can't take it away from Cabrera. He won the division, is going to the playoffs and we're heading home. That's a big contribution, being on a winning team."
Worth noting
• Former Double-A manager Tim Bogar was recently hired to be the Rangers' new bench coach. Bogar, formerly on Terry Francona's coaching staff with the Red Sox, was in the mix to take over for Dino Ebel as the Angels' third-base coach, a position that has yet to be filled.
• Reliever Robert Coello elected free agency under Article XX(D). Coello, 28, missed about three months with right shoulder inflammation, came back to appear in three September games and finished the year with a 3.71 ERA in 16 games.
• Minor League catching coordinator Orlando Mercado, who just finished his third season with the Angels, will not return for 2014. The Angels recently let go of Double-A hitting coach Ernie Young as well as two coaches at Class A Inland Empire (manager Bill Haselman and pitching coach Brandon Emanuel) and two at Class A Burlington (manager Jamie Burke and pitching coach Trevor Wilson).

Family uses Facebook to help solve man's death
George Smith V vanished over the balcony of a cruise ship while celebrating his honeymoon on the Mediterranean Sea nearly nine years ago, leaving behind bloodstains on the ship's exterior and a murky, unsolved mystery.
The bridegroom's body was never recovered after he fell into international waters at the age of 26. And while the gritty details of his disappearance -- Smith's new wife, Jennifer Hagel-Smith, passed out in a ship corridor, the group of young, trouble-making men he was with the night he vanished, conflicting witness statements -- captured headlines around the world and inspired new legislation to better protect cruise ship passengers and their families, no one was ever charged with a crime.
So, what happened to George?
That's the question the Glenville native's family has been relentlessly pursuing since his strange death -- or, as they have come to believe, the cold-blooded murder of their newlywed brother and son.
Now sister Bree and parents Maureen and George IV have taken their crusade for justice to Facebook, signaling their renewed hope that the truth will surface and authorities will solve the case.
The Smith family has launched a Facebook profile page in George's name where in recent weeks they have begun posting crime scene photos, personal correspondence between the family and George's widow and highlights from the 6,000-page internal investigation conducted by Royal Caribbean as well as probate court records pertaining to the case.
Much of the information posted on the Facebook page has never before been publicly released.
"The facts point to a murder, so it's hard to give up when you know he was murdered," said Mike Jones, an attorney based in Greenwich who has represented the Smith family for seven years. "There are failed polygraphs, there are witnesses who pleaded the fifth instead of testifying, there are broken alibis.
"The FBI doesn't have a problem with this information coming out because it can be helpful in getting new leads," Jones added. "This is not something the Smiths have done without the FBI's blessing."
The Smith family's re-energized pursuit of justice for George stems in part from recent staffing changes at the FBI. The FBI's New Haven Division has a new chief and a new agent has been assigned as lead investigator on George's case.
The family hopes their social media campaign will not only help keep George's story in the public eye, but also generate new leads for investigators. Jones said it's not uncommon for key clues and evidence to surface this way, even more than eight years after the event.
"We just want to catch the attention of somebody who was on that boat and maybe didn't speak out before," said George Smith V. "Maybe it's been eating away at their conscience all this time and maybe they will be compelled to share more information when they come across the Facebook page.
"The jigsaw puzzle is coming together, we just need a couple of more pieces."
The Smith family encourages readers to visit the Facebook page they created for George Smith IV: https://www.facebook.com/JusticeforGeorgeSmith?fref=ts

|uʍop ǝpısdn ɹǝʇʇǝq sʞooן ƃoןq ɹnoʎ
One year ago I started this blog with a post titled Get up. Go ride. which arose from an encounter I had with a great-horned owl which flew very close to me while I was riding my bicycle along the canal at night. The wing beats of the owl, the moon reflecting on the water, the panicked sound of the rabbit's feet sprinting through the gravel alongside me for a few moments, those sensations come back to me intensely as I type this.
I'm surprised at how often I have posted here for the last year. Sure, one reason is that I like to remind myself later of experiences like the owl. But it turns out I also value and appreciate the thoughtful people who sometimes stop by here for a moment to look at my pictures, read a few of my scattered thoughts, follow this blog, or post a comment or two.
I'm also pleasantly surprised by how much I have learned from reading what others have written here and on their own blogs, some like-minded, some UNlike-minded, yet often interesting as alternate points of view about subjects which intrigue me.
This online social networking, this Internet blogging, is a tenuous connection to other people, of a type that is something I think I'm still figuring out. It's no substitute for spending time with someone face to face, or for going out for a ride on my bicycle, but on the other hand, it has certainly put me into contact with people whom I would have never met any other way.
And in some ways it is totally nuts. The number of people that click on my blog in a list of search results for "gabion bike blog" and all things gabion blows my mind. I laugh and I don't understand it. I wanted to blog about bicycles, and I do, but people also come by here to look at my pictures of steel boxes of rocks. Awesome.
Riding a bicycle every day has become almost a form of meditation for me. While also being so much fun that it's becoming harder for me to understand why more people don't do it. While also being a way to meet new people. While also taking me new places where I find things to take pictures of. And quite often, and probably most importantly, riding has become a venue for leveling my head and giving free rein to thought. I end up putting a few of those thoughts down here, but most of them go elsewhere. To more serious ends, I guess you would call them.
So we're having a little party here at One Speed: Go! today. You are all invited. Bring your bicycles. We've got a serious ride ahead of us. Hills, paths, trails, roads, hot and cold, down quiet breezy lanes and up roaring six lane city streets, past cactii and up volcanoes, wind, rain, blasting hot sunshine. Let's just go for a spin down the happy path, and have a good time. I'll bring the tools and the spare tubes. The rest of you bring what you can, food, beverages, song/dance, and wear whatever the hell you want. Just do one thing for me. Get up. Go ride.

California is now one step closer to a major change in the way allegations of sexual trauma in the military are investigated. This week, the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee approved legislation that would require sexual assault cases of California National Guard members to be investigated by civilian authorities instead of military personnel.
"I think a message that goes out to all members of the Guard is that the state legislature has your back," said Sen. Alex Padilla, author of the bill. "If there has been an assault or abuse in any way, we want to help you achieve justice."
NBC Bay Area exposed problems with the handling of military sexual assault in the California National Guard in a series of reports over the past 18 months. During our reporting, we have heard numerous stories from Guard members about breakdowns in the investigative process and alleged retaliation after reporting instances of sexual assault.
"If we can do this in California we become the policy model for other states to follow," Padilla said. "If we build enough momentum in enough critical states maybe it will be the final impetus in Washington for all members of the military."
A similar attempt to remove sexual assault investigations from the military chain of command failed last month at the national level. As Congress continues to debate how to best address the epidemic of rape in the military, veterans who live in California are encouraged by Padilla's legislation.
"This is truly California stepping forward and setting an example for the rest of the nation," said Lawson Stuart, chair of the Veterans Caucus of the California Democratic Party.
Just three months ago, army veteran Kate Weber sat in front of NBC Bay Area cameras urging lawmakers to address the problem of military sexual assault.
This week she said she was ecstatic that the bill sailed through a senate committee.
"If you had told me a year ago that this kind of justice would move forward in California, I wouldn't have believed it," Weber said.
She added that she has considered rape in the military "an emergency for the last 20 years" and that now she can see lawmakers also consider the problem an emergency.
The law must still gain approval from the Senate, Assembly and Governor Jerry Brown. If is approved, it will also remove any statute of limitations in cases of sexual assault in the California Military Department. In addition, it would require department leaders to report sexual assault statistics and the performance of the department's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program to the governor and lawmakers each year.
The California National Guard has adopted a rule requiring outside investigations of military sexual assault, but Padilla's legislation would put the practice into law. Lt. Col. Darrin Bender, the Guard's chief state policy and liaison, said he anticipates that the Guard will support the proposed law.
If you have a tip for the Investigative Unit email email@example.com or call 888-996-TIPS.

In a surprise move, a few more Dimensions were made available to players on the Open Beta over the weekend
All are based on Storm Legion locations, i must admit the Becropolis one has an awesome background setting
If you're not sure what the other Dimensions available are, also came across the same guy who recorded the 'older' Dimensions
The only one not shown is the very basic free Dimension every player will get at level 7, yes level 7 for your first free house, although it is a bit..'cramped', it's the hut on the hill near the first quest hub in Silverwood you come across at Sanguine Shores, just talk to an NPC in Sanctum and i assume Meridian who sends you off to do a simple "talk to NPC in Argent Glade" for free house

EPA Issues Annual Report on Chemicals Released to Land, Air and Water in the U.S. Virgin Islands Decrease of 83 Percent Found
Release Date: 02/04/2014
Contact Information: John Martin, (212) 637-3662, email@example.com
- (New York, N.Y) The annual U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report on the amount of toxic chemicals released to the land, air and water by industrial facilities in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2012 showed a decrease of 83 percent over the past year. The Toxics Release Inventory report issued today by the EPA covers four U.S. Virgin Islands facilities that are required to report their releases – the Saint Thomas Bulk Terminal at Cyril King Airport in St Thomas, two facilities operated by the U.S. Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA) and the HOVENSA petroleum refinery. Total reported releases to land, air and water by these facilities decreased from about 1.8 million pounds in 2011 to 0.3 million pounds. Much of the decrease from 2011 was due to the shutdown of the HOVENSA refinery. Presently, HOVENSA is operating as an oil terminal.
"The Toxics Release Inventory allows the public and policymakers to better understand the pollutants released into our air, water and land each year," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "This powerful tool helps people better understand pollution problems in their communities and take action to protect their health and the environment."
Since 1988, Toxic Release Inventory data has been provided to the public annually to help people learn more about the chemicals present in their local environment and gauge environmental trends over time. The inventory contains the most comprehensive information about chemicals released into the environment reported annually by certain industries and federal facilities. Most of these facilities have permits issued under federal regulations that set strict limits on the amount of chemicals that they are allowed to release into the air, water or land. Many are required to install and maintain pollution controls.
Facilities must report their toxic chemical releases by July 1 of each year. The EPA made a preliminary set of data for 2012 available on July 26, 2013. Nationally, over 20,000 facilities reported on approximately 682 chemicals and chemical categories for calendar year 2012.

One in ten men admitted to wearing their underwear for a whole week before changing them, a new survey has found.
And the average men's underpants are four years old, according to the study by menswear retailer Jacamo.
The poll of 2,000 males also found that more than half of those questioned were regularly wearing pants with holes in them.
More than three-quarters of British boxers and briefs do get a wash after wearing, but it's the 10 per cent that are worn up to seven times before hitting the laundry basket that will shock women up and down the country.
Bad breath, bad teeth and a lack of manners are listed in the top five female turn-offs, alongside underwear that is worn-out or smelly. Despite that, only six per cent of males base their underwear choice on what their partner prefers.
British men own a average of 13 pairs of pants, buying a new pair every six months and spending £20.75 per year, with black pair of cotton boxer shorts the most popular purchase.
However, pant preferences change with age - Y-fronts or briefs most popular up till age 20, boxer shorts the choice between 20 and 50 and a return to Y-fronts once the age of 60 arrives.

A couple of years ago I spent some time touring around Costa Rica on the dime of that small nation's tourism board. I traveled with a pack of journalists, both from the U.S. and various Central American countries, and spent time visiting different resorts and learning more about Costa Rica's eco-tourism program, which is recognized around the world as the leading model for how to successfully combine tourism, economics and true-sustainability.
One of my favorite spots that we visited was Rancho Margot, an eco-resort/organic farm/working sustainability laboratory nestled in the mountains overlooking Lake Arenal in northwest Costa Rica.
Photo: Brian/Flickr
Rancho Margot was started in 2004 after former fast-food executive Juan Sostheim and his family purchased 400 acres of former cattle range. They set about turning the largely treeless land into what it is today — a rich and verdant spread of land bursting with life. They take a holistic view of sustainability at Rancho Margot and design their systems to be closed looped and productive — the pigs eats food scraps from the kitchen which is turned into poop that is used to produce energy (the solids are composted to create hot water while liquids are put in a biodigester to create methane gas) before being applied to fields to fertilize organic crops, which are then eaten by Rancho Margot's staff and guests. Rinse and repeat.
There's something special about Rancho Margot that needs to be experienced first hand to fully comprehend. I'm not one to believe in the spiritual version of heaven, but I am a true believer in Rancho Margot's place as the earthly, sustainable analogue of that heavenly domain.
Photo: John Trainor/Flickr
Rancho Margot produces their own electricity through a small hydropower plant. The workers of Rancho Margot grow and raise most of the food eaten on site and make their own soap. Their furniture is built using wood harvested from trees growing on-site. Their engines are powered by biodiesel made, you guessed it, at Rancho Margot using leftover cooking oil from their kitchen and surrounding hotels and restaurants.
Photo: John Trainor/Flickr
This dedication to building integrated closed loop systems (similar to how they do things at Polyface Farms) has attracted attention around the world. Besides the tourists who come to vacation in one of Rancho Margot's numerous luxury bungalows, there are the volunteers who sign on for month-long minimum stints, the students and teachers from universities around the world studying Juan's sustainable system, and the occasional journalist and blogger.

CNN recently sent Sanjay Gupta to Rancho Margot to film an episode of the show "The Next List." CNN produced this in-depth look at the magic of Rancho Margot. Take the time and give it a watch. Then book your tickets to Costa Rica and reserve your room at Rancho Margot.

Specifically designed to provide class-leading durability, all-season performance and ride comfort, the new SINCERA SN250 All-Season truly delivers. Using Falken's proprietary Dynamic Range Technology (DRT), the SN250 A/S ensures maximum grip at a wider range of operating temperatures for exceptional dry and wet traction. Strategically placed tread blocks balance harmonics to reduce tire noise for an impressively quiet ride. Featuring an 80,000/75,000 limited tread life warranty, 54 sizes and covering a massive 86%* of non-luxury sub-compact through full-size vehicles, the SN250 A/S meets and exceeds all critical touring tire expectations and more.
DYNAMIC RANGE TECHNOLOGY incorporates a Falken-exclusive silica tread compound that allows the rubber to remain pliable at low temperatures, increasing grip in wet, snow and icy conditions. During dry conditions, as the rubber heats up, chemical bonds remain strong.
TENSION CONTROL TECHNOLOGY is a proprietary casing mold shape that provides a more flexible middle sidewall area to absorb shock while providing enhanced handling capability via the rigid outside shoulder tread and bead area of the sidewall.
3D CANYON SIPE TECHNOLOGY increases edges for enhanced ice braking and allweather handling while the designs interlocking characteristics form a more solid tread block under load for excellent dry weather performance.
SYMMETRICAL RIB DESIGN created to optimize even wear.
ANGLED TREAD GROOVES on every tread rib and void for packed snow.
HIGH SIPE DENSITY for enhanced all-season drivability.
SOLID CENTER RIB minimize the effects of road wander caused by surface defects.
FOUR CIRCUMFERENTIAL GROOVES evacuate water and enhance hydroplane resistance.
Only fitted a month ago in the summer, so can't comment on treadwear or snow - these are only rated "3" because the webpage won't allow me to submit without rating them !!
However :
These tires are a lot noisier than expected from previous experience with Falken Sincera SN211 model.
Other aspects (grip etc) are fine.

The vehicle must be unmodified and has all original factory settings. Please note, older vehicles may no longer have factory parameters and therefore, may not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee.
You are purchasing a full set of tires, wheels or tires and wheels package. Less than a set (3 or less) does not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee
Rims: Rims will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment.
Tires: Will fall within the approved overall tire diameter, load rating, and speed rating (winter tires are approved to have a lower speed rating).
Tire and Wheel Packages: The package will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment
When you place an order, you must select your vehicle information from the drop-down menus presented to you in the search by car areas. Please note, the description of the vehicle may differ from your markings on the car. Always refer to your user manual for a full description of your vehicle. The failure to choose the correct vehicle may affect the selection of the product that fits your vehicle and your claim for fitment guarantee may be rejected. If you feel that your exact vehicle is not listed please use "Notes and Additional Instructions" box to add your vehicle information at the checkout. A 1010TIRES.COM expert will use that information provided for verification.
Driver's Side Door Sticker Example
When upsizing or downsizing tires/wheels always refer to your original equipment tire size. Correct tire and wheel information can usually be found on the inside of the driver's side door on a sticker. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that this information is correct prior to placing the order in order to qualify for Fitment Guarantee.
If you choose not to provide your vehicle information, or chose to skip Fitment Check, when placing an order our Fitment Guarantee is not applicable.
Once we receive your order our first priority is to check fitment. This is done by our fitment team that employs various methods and manufactures databases to check fitment. We may come to the conclusion that the products you have ordered will not fit your described vehicle. In this case, you will be notified and will be provided with alternative options. If you still feel confident about your original purchase and want to proceed with the order as is, we will ship it to you with a disclaimer to that effect and such order is not covered by our Fitment Guarantee Policy. If you need to return the order we will issue an in-store credit only and it's subject to our Return/refund policy.
Since we don't have your vehicle present to physically qualify it for fitment we rely on our collective experience and expertise, and consult numerous fitment sources to make approve fitment. Due to mechanical wear and tear of a vehicle, tires and/or wheels may not fit as intended. It is impossible to take these factors into account when verifying fitment. Therefore, on rare occasions when a customer claims the product does not fit we reserve the right to refuse such a claim based on our previous experience with the same vehicle and/ or manufacturers fitment data available to the public. In such cases we will request pictures showing the issues with fitment and will assess the claim on a case by case basis. If the claim for a fitment guarantee is denied our Return/refund policy will apply.
The vehicle description chosen or described by the customer is not complete, inaccurate or wrong.
The vehicle is not listed when order is placed.
The vehicle is listed on the manufacturers website as an approved fitment but the customer or the installer claims the product does not fit.
The manufacturer representative has qualified the product as an approved fit for your described vehicle but the customer or the installer claims that the product doesn't fit.
The order was not approved for 100% Fitment Guarantee and the order was shipped with the disclaimer to that effect
The order was approved as a fitment based on the previously filled orders for exact same vehicle and product shipped (we keep such data) but the product didn't fit due to the mechanical wear and tear.
*Please note, you are responsible for a safe keeping and handling of the order that is under our Fitment Guarantee policy. If the order is returned and we determine that the product was damaged, this voids the Fitment Guarantee policy. The refund will then be issued as per our return/refund policy.

ALMA spots surprising spiral structure, reveals secrets of a dying star
(Phys.org)—Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array have discovered a totally unexpected spiral structure in the material around the old star R Sculptoris. This is the first time that such a structure has been found around a red giant star. It is also the first time that astronomers could get full three-dimensional information about such a spiral. This work is one of the first ALMA early science results to be published.
A team using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the most powerful millimetre/submillimetre telescope in the world, has discovered a surprising spiral structure in the gas around the red giant star R Sculptoris. This means that there is probably a previously unseen companion star orbiting the star. The astronomers were also surprised to find that far more material than expected had been ejected by the red giant.
"We've seen shells around this kind of star before, but this is the first time we've ever seen a spiral of material coming out from a star, together with a surrounding shell," says the lead author on the paper presenting the results, Matthias Maercker (ESO and Argelander Institute for Astronomy, University of Bonn, Germany).
Because they blow out large amounts of material, red giants like R Sculptoris are major contributors to the dust and gas that provide the bulk of the raw materials for the formation of future generations of stars, planetary systems and subsequently for life.
Even in the Early Science phase, when the new observations were made, ALMA greatly outperformed other submillimetre observatories. Earlier observations had clearly shown a spherical shell around R Sculptoris, but neither the spiral structure nor a companion was found.
"When we observed the star with ALMA, not even half its antennas were in place. It's really exciting to imagine what the full ALMA array will be able to do once it's completed in 2013," adds Wouter Vlemmings (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden), a co-author of the study.
Late in their lives, stars with masses up to eight times that of the Sun become red giants and lose a large amount of their mass in a dense stellar wind. During the red giant stage stars also periodically undergo thermal pulses. These are short-lived phases of explosive helium burning in a shell around the stellar core. A thermal pulse leads to material being blown off the surface of the star at a much higher rate, resulting in the formation of a large shell of dust and gas around the star. After the pulse the rate at which the star loses mass falls again to its normal value.
Thermal pulses occur approximately every 10 000 to 50 000 years, and last only a few hundred years. The new observations of R Sculptoris show that it suffered a thermal pulse event about 1800 years ago that lasted for about 200 years. The companion star shaped the wind from R Sculptoris into a spiral structure.
"By taking advantage of the power of ALMA to see fine details, we can understand much better what happens to the star before, during and after the thermal pulse, by studying how the shell and the spiral structure are shaped," says Maercker. "We always expected ALMA to provide us with a new view of the Universe, but to be discovering unexpected new things already, with one of the first sets of observations is truly exciting."
In order to describe the observed structure around R Sculptoris, the team of astronomers has also performed computer simulations to follow the evolution of a binary system. These models fit the new ALMA observations very well.
"It's a real challenge to describe theoretically all the observed details coming from ALMA, but our computer models show that we really are on the right track. ALMA is giving us new insight into what's happening in these stars and what might happen to the Sun in a few billion years from now," says Shazrene Mohamed (Argelander Institute for Astronomy, Bonn, Germany and South African Astronomical Observatory), a co-author of the study.
"In the near future, observations of stars like R Sculptoris with ALMA will help us to understand how the elements we are made up of reached places like the Earth. They also give us a hint of what our own star's far future might be like," concludes Matthias Maercker.

i really like this! bjk suggests (link and emphases added by me):
"White guilt, I was thinking about it. Steve Sailer thinks that white guilt has nothing to do with guilt but with status striving. But status doesn't seem an adequate explanation, and it's not really very fair to liberals, who say they have honest intentions, and why not? So then what explains the really deep emotional bitterness many liberals feel towards southerners? Not that they've ever met somebody with a confederate bumper sticker, but the disdain for Bubba goes deeper than the surface. So then I thought about a wife marrying a new husband. Suddenly she's dependent on him and his income, maybe on her parents if things go bad, and then on her in-laws, in that order. But if the extended family is weak and distant, and the parents are poor or on bad terms with her, she rightly sees herself in a very vulnerable situation. So she votes for democrats. Compare her with someone who marries a cousin. Now she is not dependent on just her husband, but her husband depends on her also, and there is a strong reinforcement of the marriage from the in-laws.
"So in the perspective of both women, there are three kinds of people: nuclear family, in-laws, and strangers. The first woman, dependent to a great extent on her nuclear family, looks to the strangers as an insurance policy, either literally (by buying insurance) or through the state. But the second women sees the state as simply strangers – she is much better off relying on her extended family, which is large enough to serve as insurance, and includes her in-laws.
"So you might figure these two cases are symmetrical, but they're not. Lady a indirectly relies on lady b, but not vice-versa. Lady b doesn't think about a at all, except to try to avoid the revenuer. But lady a gets spittle-spewing furious at b if she can't rely on b, but b just shrugs her shoulders. Not her problem.
"So to get back to liberal guilt, what we call liberal guilt is really altruistic punishment directed against other whites (blacks may be the plaintiff but are not really party to the dispute). This altruistic punishment is directed at whites (crackers, bubbas and other racists) who do not engage in stranger-stranger reciprocity via the state ie are shirking their duties.
"So white guilt is not misnamed – it's the attempt to makes other whites feel guilty, not any feeling of guilt whites feel towards blacks."
that's really good. thanks, bjk!
and the southern lady — lady b — doesn't even have to marry her cousin nowadays to not be so interested in helping out lady a. she, and a majority of her fellow southerners, might just have very different altruistic attitudes than yankees due to their different evolutionary histories (i.e. puritans vs. border reivers and cavaliers).
(and, yeah … blacks and other minorities [such as they are for now!] definitely seem to be pawns in this game … whatever the h*ck it's all about.)
(note: comments do not require an email. a tarsier in the hand is worth … something or other.)

You say bike lane, I say bike lame. Ok, I don't say bike lame. I like bike lanes very much, but sometimes they're lame, mainly when they're blocked and occupied or blockuppied, which I think is what happened in Lego Land. We are the 99% assembled. I don't like when I feel hemmed in within a bike lane, a rider in front of me and car traffic to my left. But these things happen and there's no reason to attempt a "sidewalk skitter" or another silibant bike maneuver. Sybil, unlike Narcissus, would have recommend a different route home.
I liked a bumper sticked I saw. It said "Put the phone down so no one gets hurt," echoing a line like something you'd hear in a hostage-taking movie. Clever. The driver of the car had one hand off the wheel to hold a large iced coffee.
Usual crosstown and then down 11th and I passed some buses and some cars and some taxis and it was marginally fun, but still worth smiling over. There's no reason to treat each bike ride like it's a battle or stressful or fraught because even when it's bad, it's still pretty good. You're outside, you're getting some exercise and you get to travel at a pace where you can notice stuff, like leg tattoos on the bicyclists in front of you. I don't have a leg tattoo, but if I did, I think it'd be the words "reattach if found," though that seems a bit macabre. Maybe it just be a a New Yorker cartoon because then the people behind me would really get to think and maybe even kinda smile a little, but not actually laugh.
I rode up the House side again and then down Pennsylvania Avenue because I had to go to the South East Post Office to pick up a package that couldn't be left at my house. I thought I knew where the Post Office is and I did, but for some reason I turned too early and ended up riding down Pennsylvania Avenue on the sidewalk for too many blocks and I felt awkward about this and I'm sorry for everyone I inconvenienced. I went very slowly, much like the line at the PO. I won't disparage my time there, but I will disparage what happened to my bike when I got back outside. If you have young children in the room or are afraid to look at GRAPHIC images, please look away:
There was another bike there when I locked up and apparently the owner couldn't extricate his bike without knocking mine over. I have a message to this person. I will find you and I will have my revenge. It will probably involve my hiding lunchmeat somewhere on your person or property. Because then you'll find it and maybe eat a sandwich and I hope that sandwich gives you heartburn.
Never order an umbrella over the internet.
I made it two blocks before it started to fall out. This was dumb.
This is what freedom looks like. The high cost of flea parking.
|Tommy: Right Size Something Else
Once the package fell out of the bag, at the intersection of North Carolina and 7th, I decided that I would just hold it and I felt very much like I was jousting. I would not win the jousting bounty, for I am not brawny. (that's a paper towel callback). BikeJoustDC is a fun new social club that combines the best elements of biking, jousting, and hip, young, fun people who can do neither very well. It's like bike polo, but so much better.

Good news, military vets! DCCCD offers college credit for your military job training and experience.
Across Texas, this program is known as College Credit for Heroes. At the colleges of DCCCD, we call it the
Veterans Educational Transitions program, or VET for short.
"DCCCD has developed specific guided pathways to translate military experience into college credit," explains Phillip Hoy, a grant manager with DCCCD Veterans Services. "We began with information technology but have now added additional pathways."
Through the VET program, currently, military experience can be turned into college credit in four areas:
Computer Graphics
Internet Development Technologies
Computer Information Technology
*Added in Spring 2018
Your military career classification code — depending on your branch of U.S. service — determines what programs you may be eligible to get college credit for.
You can visit
Veterans Educational Transitions (VET) to find out what programs you're eligible for.
You will need your joint services transcripts to check those courses and potential credits. After an evaluation by one of the DCCCD colleges where the program is offered, you can receive credit for specific military training courses.
"If you are a veteran you can begin with a visit to our VET pages," says Phillip. "Look at the courses you took through your own branch of service, come to DCCCD to get credit, and then take any remaining classes you need to earn a college certificate or degree."
Questions about Texas'
College Credit for Heroes program or the
VET program at DCCCD?

Western Australia is true frontier country.
It's huge, often hostile expanses of empty desert dwarf the sporadic clusters of population around the coast and fertile south - west.
In contrast to the capital, vast stretches of Western Australia are hot, barren and unpopulated. It's landscape is, nonetheless, full of senic surprises: weird rock formations, giant eucalypt forest, windswept coastlines and carpets of brilliantly coloured wildflowers.

One day after announcing her pregnancy, Anna Faris showed off her tiny baby bump at London premiere of The Dictator Thursday.
The actress, 35, looked radiant in a red Maria Lucia Hohan wrap dress, which she accessorized with black peep-toe heels and a black clutch. Faris will welcome her first child with husband Chris Pratt, 32, this fall, her rep confirmed to Us Weekly Wednesday.
Faris, who wed Pratt in Bali in July 2009, once said she'd "would love to have eight kids" with her TV star hubby. "We want to populate the world!" she told Us in September.
Their similar interests make them a perfect match, gushed Faris (wed to Ben Indra from 2004-2007). "He's in comedy, I'm in comedy — we just laugh a lot," she told Us. "It's hard because we're apart from each other a lot, but we're kind of country bumpkins a little. We're both from Seattle, like at the foot of the mountains, you know?"
Faris — who met her husband on the set of Take Me Home Tonight and later teamed up again for What's Your Number? — would make an excellent guest star on Parks and Recreation, according to Pratt.
"We are really hoping it happens and they really want her. Schedules haven't lined up, so it hasn't worked out yet, but if they give us another season, it will definitely happen — I hope!" Pratt told Us in March.
"We've talked about her being a former Miss Pawnee — I love that," Pratt said of the NBC comedy, set in Pawnee, Indiana. "We have so many ideas! I would love to see her do something. She's so good. She's so funny and I'd love to have her on the show. I think she'd rock."
