GRIDLEY >> Work begins tonight in Gridley as PG&E removes an old gas pipeline. One lane will be blocked along Highway 99 and East Hazel Street, a press release stated.
The crew begins at 8 p.m. and will finish by 5 a.m., Monday through Friday for two weeks.
While work is taking place, northbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane, a block from Sycamore Street to East Hazel.
Eastbound East Hazel Street will be closed at Highway 99 for about 100 feet east.
Lanes will reopen during the day and weekends.
The project is to de-activate a 100-foot long, 2-inch steel gas distribution pipe that no longer serves any customers. Workers need to excavate at the intersection and remove a 2 1/2-foot section to disconnect it from an 8-inch transmission gas line. A short section of the 8-inch pipe will also be replaced and tested before being placed into service.
Workers will vent natural gas from pipelines as the project progresses. The smell of natural gas and the sound of venting may be noticeable to nearby homes and businesses, depending on wind direction. The natural gas will quickly dissipate into the atmosphere and will not be harmful, according to PG&E.
However, PG&E encourages anyone who has concerns about natural gas odors in or around their home or business to call us at 1-800-743-5000.

Louisiana Court Records
This entry was originally written by Beth A. Stahr, CGRS and Sharon Sholars Brown for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Under the French regime provincial power was held by the governor and the superior council, while the cabildo, or council, served the Spanish. A group of men was appointed to serve on the council who acted in a manner similar to a court of law but did not have the power of legislature. Most of the records created by, or sent to, the cabildo are still in New Orleans and are part of four collections:
Superior Council Records. Housed at the Mint Building in New Orleans, this collection, from the French period, is an important resource for families in all corners of the colony. The files contain not only the judicial records of the city of New Orleans, but also those of all the outposts whose cases were appealed to New Orleans. Translated and very brief abstracts of these records were serialized in volumes 1-23 of the Louisiana Historical Quarterly.
Spanish Judicial Archives. This is a group of legal suits prosecuted at the various settlements and sent to New Orleans for final disposition in the Spanish era. These records are located in the Louisiana State Museum in the Old U.S. Mint Building at New Orleans. Between 1923 and 1949, translated abstracts of these records were published in the Louisiana Historical Quarterly.
Black Boxes. This is another Spanish collection housed at the Louisiana State Museum. Americans acquired these documents in 1803 and packed them away in black wooden boxes, hence the name. The museum has translated abstracts to these records, and a guide to this collection was printed over several years in the quarterly New Orleans Genesis.
Minutes of the Cabildo. These are the records created by the Spanish governing body. Translations of these documents are available at most major libraries (public and university) in Louisiana. Some of the original records belonging to this collection can be found at the New Orleans Public Library, Tulane University, and Louisiana State University.
For a better understanding of the court system and its laws of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, see Albert Tate Jr., 'The Splendid Mystery of the Civil Code of Louisiana,' Louisiana Review 2, no. 2 (1974). See also Coleman Lindsey, The Courts of Louisiana (n.p., n.d.). To conduct genealogical research in the parish courthouse, it is necessary to know that the clerk of court's office has most of the records needed: notarial, marriage, divorce, will, succession, deeds, civil suits, discharge papers, and so on.

David Cameron was accused by Labour of using "phoney" figures on flood defences, after the national statistics watchdog said Government spending had fallen since the coalition came to power.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said the Prime Minister had been "caught out" in his claim that spending was higher under the coalition than under the previous Labour administration.
The row came as the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) urged Chancellor George Osborne to use next month's Budget to restore flood defence spending to its pre-2010 level in his Budget next month, warning that current Government plans provided "neither the level of investment or long-term certainty required to improve resilience against flooding".
At Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons, Mr Miliband quoted a letter from the chairman of the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA), Sir Andrew Dilnot to a Labour MP who complained about a claim made in January by Environment Secretary Owen Paterson that the Government was "providing more than any previous Government in the current spending review".
Sir Andrew wrote: "A s at January 2014, Government funding for flood defences was expected to be lower in both nominal and real terms during the current spending period than during the last spending period.
"Our analysis also supports the conclusion that the statement 'over the current spending review period, more is being spent (on flood defences) than ever before' is supported by the statistics if the comparison is made in nominal terms and includes external funding, but it is not supported by the statistics if the comparison is made in real terms, or if external funding is excluded."
The UKSA chair said he had written to Mr Paterson's Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to tell them it would be in the public interest for figures on flood defences to be brought under the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.
Mr Miliband told MPs that Sir Andrew's findings made clear that the Government could claim to be spending more on flood defences only "by ignoring inflation and claiming credit for the money that other organisations, other than government, spend".
The Labour leader said: "The figures the Prime Minister is quoting are phoney and I believe he knows it...
"Why doesn't the Prime Minister admit it?
"They have cut flood defence spending and he has been caught out."
But Mr Cameron responded: "The fact is that if you take the period 2010, when I became Prime Minister, to 2014, the spending has been £2.4 billion - more than the £2.2 billion in the previous four years.
"If you take the five-year period of this Parliament... the spending has been higher than the previous five years.
"These are the facts.
"I have to say to him that having this debate is slightly pointless.
"The whole country should be coming together to deal with flood defences."
But Mr Miliband retorted: "If it is a simple choice between the UKSA and him, people will believe the UKSA."
Labour MP Hugh Bayley, whose complaint prompted Sir Andrew's ruling, said in a statement: "The Labour government increased funding for flood defences from £72 million in 2000, at the time of the big flood in my York constituency, to £646 million when we left office.
"The current Government say spending is at record levels but the actual figures show they have cut the money for flood defences to £533 million - a cut of £113 million since they came to power.
"Owen Paterson, the Environment Secretary, has been playing with figures and this has been confirmed by both the House of Commons library and the UK Statistics Authority.
"After the catastrophic flooding in recent weeks, there is a strong public interest in having accurate and trustworthy figures on Government spending on flood defences.
"I agree with Sir Andrew Dilnot that the in-house figures from Defra are not believable and that figures should in future be quality-controlled and published by the UK Statistics Authority."
But a Defra spokesman said: "Figures on flood defence spending are published.
"The Government is spending £2.4 billion on flood management and protection from coastal erosion, which is more than ever before.
"The figures cited by UKSA are already published in the House of Commons, alongside the figures that show additional spending through partnership funding.
"The Prime Minister also recently announced £130 million extra for flood defence repairs following the extreme weather."
In its submission to the Treasury ahead of the March 19 Budget, the ICE said that Mr Cameron's announcement of £130 million for emergency repairs and maintenance was not enough to make up for cuts introduced in Mr Osborne's 2010 spending review.
The ICE urged the Chancellor to return capital and maintenance investment in flood risk management to pre-2010 levels in real terms.
And it said that ministers should commit to a longer-term investment programme for flood defences beyond the current five-year programme, to provide the certainty needed to improve flood resilience.
ICE director general Nick Baveystock said: "While Government funding for flood risk management rose to £370 million in 2015/16 and is protected in real terms to 2020/21, unfortunately this provides neither the level of investment or long-term certainty required to improve resilience against flooding.
"The reductions to the maintenance settlement are also concerning, and - as the recent flooding and coastal surges have shown - the flood defences protecting our communities, businesses and the other vital infrastructure networks and services we depend on must be maintained regularly and comprehensively."

CARSON, Calif. (Friday, September 21, 2012) – Two weeks after opening the 2012/13 U.S. Soccer Development Academy season, the LA Galaxy Academy U-16 and U-18 teams will be back in action this weekend against rival Arsenal FC.
Following a pair draws against Portland and Seattle in their opening weekend, the Galaxy U-16's will be looking to get their first win of the season when they take on Arsenal FC at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon at Riverside Community College. For Arsenal, who have produced current MLS players like the Galaxy's Hector Jimenez, San Jose's Rafael Baca, Seattle's Servando Carrasco and Real Salt Lake's Luis Gil among others, the game is their first of the season.
The Galaxy U-18's will be looking to improve on their 1-0-1 record and keep up with in the standings with Chivas USA and Strikers FC, each of who opened their seasons with matching 2-0-0 records.
U.S. U-18 forward Paul Arriola was scheduled to make his Galaxy Academy debut this weekend against Arsenal, but an injury he picked while on international duty could delay his start another week. Arriola returned to the U.S. this week after taking part in a training camp U.S. U-18's in Holland. The U.S. played four games during their 11 days in Europe and won three of them, including an impressive 4-1 win over the Dutch U-18 national team. Arriola, who was unavailable for the season opener two weeks ago because of the trip, played in two of the four games.
The U-18's kick off the day's doubleheader at 11 a.m. at Riverside Community College. The games are open to the public and fans are welcomed to attend.
In the younger divisions, the U-12 will try to build on last week's 4-1 win over CZ Elite, which included a hat trick from Jonah Lipel and goal from Chase Marion, when they face Santa Barbara SC on Saturday at North Torrance High School at 10:25 a.m. The game is one of three LA Galaxy Academy games being played at North Torrance High on Saturday with the U-13's and U-14's also playing there.
After starting the season with a loss, the U-13's rebounded last week with a 3-1 win over Pateadores. On Saturday, they host Beach FC in the second of three games on the day at North Torrance High with kickoff scheduled for 11:50 a.m. Jose Ortiz and Jose Sosa will look to duplicate last week's performance in which each scored a goal and helped set up another, Sergio Flores also scored one from the penalty spot.
The U-14's will look to continue their hot start this Saturday against Legends FC (1-1-1, 4 pts.) at 4:35 p.m. at North Torrance High. The Galaxy (2-0-0, 6 pts.) are one of four teams to have started the season with two wins. Following Saturday's game against Legends, LA will face one of those four undefeated teams when they take on Arsenal FC, on October 6 at 2:40 p.m. at El Segundo High School.
Game Date
LA Galaxy U-12 vs. Santa Barbara SC U-12 Saturday, September 22
Game will be played at North Torrance High School at 10:25 a.m.

New: The Great Recession and Private Label Demand
Date Posted:
Nov 21,
We seek to determine how wealth and income influence the demand for private label (hereafter PL) products. In particular, we use the experience of the recent Great Recession to explore how larges changes in wealth and income affect the demand for private label products. Contrary to recent claims that the recession has sparked a sharp increase in Private Label demand, we find a long-term trend toward increasing acceptance of PL products that predates the Great Recession. There is little evidence that the Great Recession has changed the long-term trend. We link our panel data to store level data and establish that the PL trend is demand-based and does not stem from supply side factors such as pricing and availability. We exploit local variation in changes in housing values to estimate a wealth effect on private label demand. To estimate an income effect, we exploit variation in income across time for our panelists, controlling for local economic trends. We estimate significant but ...
REVISION: State Dependence and Alternative Explanations for Consumer Inertia
Date Posted:
Apr 14,
For many consumer packaged goods products, researchers have documented inertia in brand choice, a form of persistence whereby consumers have a higher probability of choosing a product that they have purchased in the past. Using data on margarine and refrigerated orange juice purchases, we show that the finding of inertia is robust to flexible controls for preference heterogeneity and not due to autocorrelated taste shocks. Thus, the inertia is at least partly due to structural, not spurious ...
REVISION: Do Switching Costs Make Markets Less Competitive?
Date Posted:
Jan 19,
The conventional wisdom in economic theory holds that switching costs make markets less competitive. This paper challenges this claim. We find that steady-state equilibrium prices may fall as switching costs are introduced into a simple model of dynamic price competition that allows for differentiated products and imperfect lock-in. To assess whether this finding is of empirical relevance, we consider a more general model with heterogeneous consumers. We calibrate this model with data from ...
New: Matching and Sorting in Online Dating
Date Posted:
Mar 30,
This paper studies the economics of match formation using a novel data set obtained from a major online dating service. Using detailed information on the users' attributes and interactions, we estimate a model of mate preferences. Based on the estimated preferences, we use the Gale-Shapley algorithm to predict the stable matches among the users of the dating site. Comparing the predicted and observed matching patterns, we find that the Gale-Shapley model explains the matches achieved by the ...
REVISION: Tipping and Concentration in Markets with Indirect Network Effects
Date Posted:
Jan 24,
This paper develops a framework to measure 'tipping' - the increase in a firm's market share dominance caused by indirect network effects. Our measure compares the expected concentration in a market to the hypothetical expected concentration that would arise in the absence of indirect network effects. In practice, this measure requires a model that can predict the counter-factual market concentration under different parameter values capturing the strength of indirect network effects. We build ...
REVISION: Category Pricing with State Dependent Utility
Date Posted:
Dec 09,
There is a substantial literature that documents the presence of state dependent utility with packaged goods data. Typically, a form of brand loyalty is detected whereby there is a higher probability of purchasing the same brand as has been purchased in the recent past. The economic significance of the measured loyalty remains an open question. We consider the category pricing problem in the presence of loyalty and demonstrate that a retailer has an incentive to invest in building brand ...

Our revealed preference estimates ...
An Empirical Model of Advertising Dynamics
Date Posted:
Jan 31,
We develop a model of dynamic advertising and apply it to the problem of optimal advertising scheduling through time. In many industries we observe advertising pulsing, whereby firms systematically switch advertising on and off at a high-frequency. The previous literature has explained such patterns through an S-shaped sales response to advertising, and long-run effects of advertising on demand (advertising carry-over). We extend a discrete choice based demand system to allow for a threshold ...

Ryan Dempster is a pro, but pitching amid trade rumors swirling can't be easy, you wouldn't know it by watching Dempster pitch today. Dempster was stellar, really never tempting fate in any of the seven brilliant innings he went. The Cubs jumped on Daisuke Matsuzaka early plating three runs in the first two innings, and that was it, for both teams. As I mentioned, Dempster went seven strong innings giving no runs on four hits, walking only two and striking out three. Dempster has been great all year, and because of that he is becoming the number one target during this years trade season for teams wanting a starting pitcher. If I had to guess, Dempster will be traded very soon, if the Cubs want to wait closer to the deadline I wouldn't blame them. Given the addition of wild card playoff spots, and so few teams selling, the Cubs might have the best chance of anyone to add to an already tremendously improved farm system via trade(s).
The Cubs didn't knock around Dice-K, as they only managed four hits during his six innings, but it was enough. Steve Clevenger had a the big blow with a two out two run double in the first inning on his was to a 1-for-3 day. Ryan Dempster was the other star at the plate, yes you heard right, Dempster was 2-for-2 with a triple and a run scored. David DeJesus had the only other hit for the Cubs and it was a big one, a two out single to put the Cubs up 3-0. Carlos Marmol was thrust back into the closer role today, and of course things got a little dicey. The final out of the game was a Dustin Pedroia ground out with the bases-loaded. It would be great if Marmol could recapture the closing magic, because he really doesn't do any good to the Cubs if he can't get something back in a trade. Full box score and highlights after the jump.

10 Grams Black Fire
Black Fire Crushed Opal
This includes 10 grams of our synthetic opal color Black Fire
PRIMARY COLOR: Black
SECONDARY COLORS: Green, Red, Orange
Black Fire Crushed Opal has been roasted in the depth of a roaring fire. This burnt stone dances with red, orange, and greens tones like a hot flame in the night. This Opal will fill you with a burning passion for your next project.
What is Black Fire Crushed Opal?
Black Fire Crushed Opal is a synthetic lab-made material that consists of Silica and Polymer rather than hydrated silica (natural opal). The polymer stabilizes our opal which in turn makes it easier for jewelry making. You will experience less cracking and crazing that can be detrimental when using natural opal in jewelry. By using a polymer it also creates a slightly softer product making it superior for turning and cabbing. Our crushed opal does not fall victim to color fading and is resistant to chemicals such as acetone and alcohol.
What is the difference between medium and fine size crushed opal?
Large Size: 2mm to 3mm Stones
Medium Size: 0.5mm to 2mm Stones
Fine Size: 1.5mm and smaller (recommended for ring inlays)
What are some of the uses of crushed opal?
- Ring Making
- Pen Turning
- Bladesmithing
- Earrings
- Necklaces
- Other Jewelry Inlays

Thanks, Im the one that made it along with Mcperson's own
Did you settle on any one I showed you?
idk, is it?
Hiya there
your name is pretty close to mine (well, not really, but most call me CBro instead of the full thing)
and you seem to have the same liking of green, thought I'd just stop by.
looking forward to having a new RHG fighting too, just make sure you read the rules and make the demo ahead of time, it's always a let down when some one write like 3 sentences on a page and says it's their RHG
Good luck on being new, I know from experience it is awkward at times : )
I have a few handy links. http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Alchemy
Hey, do you have any ideas for what your RHG would be like?
Oh, and to reply to this, send a visitor message to my account here: http://forums.stickpage.com/member.php?261856-Xyskal
Its somebody thereee? ._.

General information.
At BuyLightFixtures.com, we have the most extensive variety of 12 volts LED lighting fixtures available in the market today. For those of you with low-voltage lighting systems, this type of lighting fixture can be a suitable replacement for any halogen or incandescent lighting you may have. It will give you the same amount of light while using far less energy and that's going to save you money on your electric bill. It's an easy replacement if you're doing it on a one-for-one basis. But if you're going to design a whole new lighting scheme, then that's easy to do, and you don't have to use as much power.
Landscape LED lighting and more.
One of the most common that people are very familiar with is landscape lighting or outdoor lighting. If you have a landscape lighting scheme and you want to upgrade to more efficient lighting fixtures, then many of these DC 12v fixtures are available for that type of application. Often with that type of landscape situation, people will have outdoor posts that are also fed by low-voltage power. One of the ways that you'll know whether it is or not if you're unsure is that when you put a regular voltage light bulb in it, it barely glows. You'll see that it's not glowing brightly at all and that's when you know that it's connected to low-voltage lighting. Another way to identify whether you need these type of bulbs is whether your outdoor lighting has a transformer or not. If it does, you need to take a look at it and see what voltage you have.
Make your building or home look grand.
Although people often use these super bright LEDs for things like landscape lighting, the other uses are things like security lighting and building lighting. Because these are low-voltage and a lot of people like to use that because it's so easy to manipulate, it's a natural choice for commercial buildings that want to have certain kinds of accents around the building. It makes a building or home stand out at night and makes it look so much better than everything around it you can get creative with many different ways of lighting your home or building. You can accent columns, or entryways or the general building itself. It makes a big difference, and it has a much higher level of appeal when you see something well lit at night. When you look at holiday decorations every year, and you think about the attention that draws, the same principle is true whether you are just using white light and merely illuminating a building. Regardless of the architecture, people will respond to light at night in a very positive way, even if the building had nothing particularly exciting about it. The way you like something like this will make a difference in how it's perceived and possibly make it more interesting to a prospective buyer or somebody that merely wants to rent. Along with energy efficiency, getting the chance to upgrade your lighting to something that's going to give a nighttime pop to structure is one of the reasons why people go to new types of low-voltage lighting.
Saving money is always good.
Of course, landscape lights aren't the only place that these light bulbs are used because we have many different kinds of lighting that use low-voltage, display lighting, and track lighting. We do see it once in a while and recessed lights but not as often, most of the time those are line voltage. And in situations like this, we have many different 12v LED lights for that kind of replacement needs as well. It's a good time to think about making a switch from halogen low-voltage to something like an LED. You can get either a warm white or bright LEDs with daylight white light which is going to use less power. It's not only about energy savings, but you're also going to get what we believe is better lighting as a result. If you are curious as to how much you can save in real dollars, we do have an energy-saving calculation spreadsheet on the left-hand column of our website which is a free download. It gives you all the information you need to know by putting in data about your current system and what it would be with an LED energy-efficient bulb. A lot of times people get paybacks that are very fast, and it all depends on how they use it and the kilowatt hour cost that you may have in your area. Keep in mind that many electric utilities have rebate programs where you can get some incentives for getting new lighting fixtures or light bulbs that you purchase from us. There's never been a better time to take a look at saving energy and getting better lighting at the same time.
Color is critical.
One of the things that you need to be considering when you're thinking about going to something that's more efficient in a 12 volt LED lights is the color temperature. Color temperature is critical to get your lighting right, and a lot depends on the kind of interior space you have or what kind of effect you're trying to get outdoors. If you want something that looks like an incandescent color, then you need to use something that's closer to a 2700K light color. It has that warm, inviting glow that many people associate with home and has that look that most people want. If you want something that's closer to a daylight white LED, then you want to something like the 5000K which has a much cooler light something that's similar to noontime daylight. It's all a matter of personal preference, but keep in mind that certain types of interiors go better with certain kinds of light color. The bright color that you use can even change the way the paint on the walls look, so keep that in mind when you're choosing a new light of some kind for low voltage.
Are your lighting fixtures old and worn out?
But if you are considering doing something more energy-efficient with a lighting fixture that's 12 volts, we can help you with that too as we have a complete line of lighting fixtures for a low-voltage application. So if you're thinking about doing something more energy-efficient and you're already going to be investing in some types of replacements, or the lighting system you have is old, it could be an excellent time to consider going to some new lighting fixtures. And the lighting fixtures that are available today are much better than they were even a few years ago when it comes to something like LED. The quality is gone up significantly, and people are now seeing the benefit of getting excellent lighting for the least amount of wattage. It's often an aesthetic upgrade to, where the form of the lighting fixture will be a much-improved look rather than the older types that were somewhat blocky and functional.
How can we help you today?
We want to make sure that we do everything we can to service your lighting needs whether it be a replacement bulb or something like new fixtures or retrofit. In any case, we want to offer the highest quality products at reasonable prices. If you are looking for a more significant quantity of any of these type of lights that you see here or on our website, please email or call us for a particular quote for what you're looking for. We want to make it easy for you and get you the best paybacks possible if you're going to something that's more energy-efficient. If you are doing a replacement, we also want to make sure that you get good pricing especially if you're buying a case of the time. There's never been a better time to take a look at ways that you can improve your situation if you have 12-volt lights whether it's replacement or doing a lighting retrofit.

|Exceeding Expectations Since 1993
Italy Vacation Rentals - Certified Luxury Villas, & Apartments
Tuscan Rental Accommodation
Parker Villas Exclusive - A private pocket listing available nowhere else
Galante and Galantino are two recently restored, side by side townhouse apartments in the historic center of medieval Montefollonico. Dating to the 11th century, the town's name comes from the fullonico, a settlement of Cassinesi monks who used a nearby stream for follatura or the dying of wool.
Step outside your door and within 100 yards, guests will find: two restaurants, a small grocery store, a butcher, a wine shop, the post office and a bank. The proprietor of the grocery makes pizzas on Wednesday, and she is known to cook local dishes or bake cakes.
Each unit has its own barbecue and a furnished garden with views and dreamy sunsets over two of Tuscany's prettiest valleys: the Val d'Orcia to the south and the Val di Chiana to the north. For those renting both units together, a gate joins the two garden oases.
Galantino on the lower ground floor is buttressed by thick stone walls that keep it cool in the summer. It's easy to understand why this was used as a wine cellar in medieval times. Scattered steps made of the original stone are found throughout and connect adjoining rooms. A laundry room with a washer is shared, and Wi-Fi access is available for those with a laptop. A cleaning service may be requested when booking.
Like the rest of the town, steep stone steps and cobblestone streets have survived the centuries. Stroll to a restaurant or two, practically outside the door, and meet the locals. Laughter and chatter are customary in Italy so don't be surprised to hear these during your stay.
A car is needed to reach this spot and to get around. Parking is found outside the town walls, 200 yards away. Smaller cars may drive along the narrow lane and up to the entrance to drop off luggage.
A 15 minute drive leads to more shops and a supermarket in Montepulciano. In even less time lies Pienza, the capital of pecorino cheese. Bagno Vignoni, with thermal baths, is a 30 minute drive; Chiusi with express trains to Florence or Rome: 35; Montalcino or Cortona: 40; Arezzo: 50; Siena, Perugia or Orvieto: 60; Florence: 90; Rome: 120.

CBS4 adds Kelly Ford arts show
CBS4 will launch an occasional, fully sponsored arts show, "Colorado Review: Music and the Arts," at 6 p.m. on Feb. 9. The half-hour magazine style show about local artists and musicians will be sponsored by Mountain States Toyota, in partnership with the Colorado Symphony (already a Channel 4 partner).
The first installment features the Denver Art Museum, Redline Gallery and by the Colorado Symphony. Former KYGO radio personality Kelly Ford will serve as host. (Ford signed off KYGO in August after 20 years on the air.)
KCNC creative director Ed Cushing is at the helm. There's no fixed timeslot for now. Airings will be scattered but always on weekends, the first one in place of "Colorado Getaways." The second is slated for April 14 at 10:30 a.m. The goal is to emulate "CBS Sunday Morning" on a local level.

Scene masters: Perry, Beattie book it back to town
The light fades on a late November afternoon as writer Ann Beattie and her husband, painter Lincoln Perry, relax over a cup of tea. He tucks his legs under him on the living room sofa. She leans forward, elbows on knees, in a nearby chair. After an exhausting round of flight delay, they are finally "home" in Charlottesville.
Travel annoyances are customary for the nomadic pair, who summer in Maine, winter in Florida, and make an annual spring-semester pilgrimage to Virginia. Why the current off-season trip? To be on hand for an exhibition opening and book signing at Les Yeux du Monde celebrating the publication of Lincoln Perry's Charlottesville.
The book contains a 20-year retrospective of Perry's local paintings, along with an introductory essay and artist's interview by Beattie. As the couple's first collaboration, the subject is fitting; their lives originally became entwined in Charlottesville.
Beattie, now 58, came to the University of Virginia in 1975 to teach in the English department. A native of the DC-metropolitan area, she was surprised by Charlottesville.
"I loved it. I didn't think I would," she says. "Any place in the South was on my B-list before."
Perry, 56, first admired Charlottesville when he came to visit a girlfriend in the early 1970s. He returned in 1985 as a visiting artist at UVA. On the advice of a friend, he got in touch with Beattie, and she invited him over for tea.
"This is us," she says, smiling. "This is what we do."
In the mid-1990s, tired of their three-residence shuffle, the couple decided to sell their Charlottesville house– ironically, just when the University hired Perry to paint "The Student's Progress," the massive mural inside Cabell Hall. He completed the panels from Maine.
The couple returned to Charlottesville on a semi-permanent basis in 2001 when Beattie became UVA's Edgar Allan Poe Professor of Creative Writing.
Beattie, who recently won the prestigious Rea Award for the Short Story, says she likes the people in Charlottesville but still laments the loss of Williams Corner Bookstore. Perry adds he is especially fond of Virginia's trees.
The seed for Lincoln Perry's Charlottesville grew from Perry's 2003 exhibition, "The Music of Time," at Les Yeux du Monde. Visiting New Yorker Paul Stetzer insisted the Charlottesville-centric show should become a book. Gallery owner Lyn Bolen Warren pitched the idea to the University of Virginia Press, which suggested bringing Beattie on board.
"To pair a great artist with a great writer is wonderful," says Rushton, "not to mention the pairing of a great place– Charlottesville– with the two."
For Beattie, the book is "a little like going down memory lane."
"To be this attached to a place," says Perry, "is as good as it gets."

Start Me Up: the Rise of the Entrepreneur
The Idea of C. Wonder from Burch Creative Capital on Vimeo.
Long before Chris Burch balanced college business classes and a growing sweater sales company, he was a tween entrepreneur making spare cash selling newspapers to students at his prep school. "When most kids went and got jobs, I would go and blacktop people's driveways," he says. For him, it was simple math: a few hours' labor earned him $200, while his peers were toiling for $5 an hour.

Ex-Employer Has To Pay Former Employees $4,000 For Email Snooping
from the watch-where-you-snoop deptWe've discussed a bunch of cases lately involving employers and the legality of reading emails of employees. The latest one is a bit strange. It involves the owner of a gym, who had two ex-employees set up a competing gym. Somewhere along the way, she became aware of some emails they wrote while still employed by her, planning out their new gym. It appears that this is because they accessed their private email accounts via the gym's computers, but left their accounts logged in. After a variety of back-and-forth maneuverings, the employer has been forced to pay $4,000 to the ex-employees for snooping on their emails, in violation of the Stored Communications Act. Of course, what's most interesting is that if the employer had wanted to get access to those emails legally, she could have probably used the normal discovery process during a lawsuit -- but by snooping, she ended up not being able to use those emails in her own lawsuit, and owing those ex-employees a few thousand dollars.

Bringing back the Payne.
It's been over two years since we helped Max Payne clear his name and take
revenge on those who relieved his family of their right to exist. But like the
killer in any slasher film, he's back, with a similar preternatural
proclivity for mayhem and wanton destruction.
Max is a hard-boiled NYPD detective, but as a cop he always seems to come
up short. In Remedy's third-person shooter Max Payne 2, however,
our hero shines like my Uncle Buck's hairless dome under the hot Indiana sun.
Admittedly, there are few hurdles along the way – you may find yourself bypassing
much of the exhaustive story to get to the bloodletting, – but at the end of
the day, this is about as cool as a cop gets.
he's not cold enough to stay away a femme fatale who has seemingly defied the
Reaper's death grip. Those of you who helped our sleepless detective on his
last mission will remember Mona Sax, the bombshell assassin who until now
was thought to be dead. She returns to Payne's life as a love interest and plot
catalyst providing plenty of mystery and intrigue.
Like his previous outing, the drama unfolds in a sequence of clever, stylish graphic novel sequences, with Max himself as the narrator. The seasoned detective will find himself on the opposite side of the law yet again as a one man army against impossible odds.
Thankfully, Max's signature ability evens those odds like a hot iron over
a cheap polyester suit. Often imitated but never truly duplicated, Bullet Time
is back and badder than ever.
Bullet Time has gone through a bit of a revision. Now with the press of a
button time seems to slow, but in reality Max is moving at break-neck speed
while the enemies plod along at a snail's pace. Shoot more knuckleheads while
in Bullet Time and Max moves even faster while his assailants move slower. This
also replenishes your Bullet Time meter.
This new Bullet Time allows Max to more effectively handle the scores of enemies.
It was possible to get through the fist game pretty handily without using Bullet
Time much at all, but thankfully we no longer have such luxury. You'll need
to use it a lot, but that's a very good thing because it's a very cool
thing. It's amazing how a feature inspired by The Matrix is better
implemented than the video game
adaptation of its progenitor.
Also born from the cinema is the shootdodging ability, which is completely
unchanged. Press a button while moving in any direction and Max will dive in
slow-motion with the ability to aim and shoot in real-time. Handy and damn cool.
A third 'feature' increases the cool to Sean Connery-James Bond status – details.
The new Havok physics engine adds the finishing cinematic touches Max has been
begging for with an unparalled use of rag-doll physics and a level of interactivity
that will leave gamers speechless. It's virtually impossible for Max to kill
a guy the same way twice. Everything is taken in to account. Enemies react differently
if shot in various parts of the body and/or with different ordinances. A Desert
Eagle shot to the arm, leg, torso or head produces a much different animation
than an Uzi or shotgun blast to the same locations. Even momentum from running
or diving out of the way is accounted for when baddies catch lead. It's incredible.
Plus, everything
in the game world can be moved, shot up and destructively disassembled. Death
animations include guys flying through windows, over railings into boxes, onto
tables (which will buckle under their weight) and so much more. I nailed one
poor sod with a shotgun blast so fierce that it sent him flying into a series
of shelves which promptly fell apart, dumping their contents on top of the sucker
as he slumped over a barrel. Sweet!
The textures and overall look of the game are just as stellar, even more so
than the original. Bullets can again be seen in flight, but when they stab into
various materials the surfaces behave appropriately. For example, wood splinters
and releases dust while metals dent, giving off sparks for a great particle
effect. The attention to detail is award-winning.
The texture quality manages to hold up no matter how close you get to objects.
The game is also quite scalable for low-end systems without losing too much
of the graphical bells and whistles. Moreover, a patch has been recently released
to decrease load times on lower-end systems.
But there is no patch to fix some of Max's flaws, including his awkward, jerky
running animations and the enormous amount of story that gets in the way of
the action. I appreciate the gloomy storytelling, but often you just want to
speed through it to get to the more glorious gunplay.
Also, a patch to increase Max's stay would have helped immeasurably (although
I guess that's called an 'expansion'). His visit seems even shorter than last
time, clocking in at about 10 hours tops, and that's just too bad. This was
perhaps the biggest complaint about the original, yet Remedy failed to remedy
the situation by adding more replay value. Despite all the slick coolness, Max
is still just running and gunning. He's not stat-building, jumping in and out
of vehicles, taking alternate paths to right his wrongs or taking his grievances
online for any sort of multiplayer. Max is on a very linear, straightforward
path, and once you get to the end of it, the only incentive to do it again is,
well, to do it again.
In fairness, New York Minute, Hard Boiled and Dead on Arrival modes make a
return, so at least you can play through the story with some added pressures.
But it's the same plot and the same path no matter how you play.
With that said, Max Payne 2 is still a great surprise all
around. Improvements were made to the key aspects of the gameplay with an increased
sense of cool. Max Payne 2 is about as slick as they come,
with a presentation and verve that supercedes cutting-edge. It's a short one,
but good things do come in small packages after all.

Two weeks ago, I drove up to Ipoh for a short weekend holiday. Since Ipoh is famous for its food, I thought it would be a good idea to bring along my camera to snap some pictures while enjoying the local delicacies there. We decided to leave early Saturday morning to avoid the weekend traffic and headed up north until we reached Bidor town which is about 70 km away from Ipoh.
Bidor is a small town where you can still see people using bicycle to travel. Along the main road, there are few rows of shops selling fruits. One of the most famous place to eat at Bidor is undoubtedly Pun Chun Noodle. I had been to their branch in Kota Kemuning but I was curious to see how the original shop in Bidor fares.
One thing for sure…. Patience is a virtue and it is a virtue that all customers must have in order to get a chance to eat the food here. The amount of people eating at this coffee shop is akin to having mad rush year end sale! You have to wait next to the table very closely in order to secure a seat once the customers leave. Well, I guess this can't be help as the popularity of Pun Chun Noodle has attracted people from afar.
First off, we tried their famous Herbal Duck Soup (RM 6.50). The soup was served in an old steel container which gave a very authentic feel to it. The aroma is unmistakeably strong with scent of herbs emitting from the brown colour soup.
The duck meat is tender and has a rich taste of herbs as a result of boiling it with the herbal soup for hours. Highly recommended.
The dried noodle (RM 4.50) was pretty good although I find the texture slightly harder compared to the one at Kemuning. Nevertheless, the combination of Char Siew with the dark sauce noodle still packs a punch.
One thing I did notice was the size of their wanton. It was not as big as the ones served at Kota Kemuning. Taste wise, I do prefer the Kota Kemuning ones too.

Marketers and publishers are using innovative methods to create, format, and deliver digital advertising. One form is "native advertising," content that bears a similarity to the news, feature articles, product reviews, entertainment, and other material that surrounds it online. But as native advertising evolves, are consumers able to differentiate advertising from other content?

Q. Can we powder coat AISI 304 stainless steel pipe to our color of choice? Is there a specific type of paint to be used? If it can be done, can the powder coating last up to five years? —Y.S.
A. Yes, you should be able to powder coat type 304 SS pipe. You will need to roughen the surface by sanding or blasting to get good adhesion. Test a small piece first to make sure you do have good adhesion. The type of coating will depend on whether you need sunlight resistance or not. If you do plan to put the product outside in the sun, you should use a TGIC polyester. If you do not plan to put it in the sun, you could use an epoxy or hybrid of polyester/epoxy. It should last a long time depending on what you subject it to. Sunlight will fade it a little, but five years should be acceptable with a good powder. Chipping and adhesion should be all right if you do a good job of roughening the surface and get the powder fully cured. Scratching or mar will depend on the hardness of the powder you use. List out the things you are concerned about, and let your powder supplier help you select the right product.

Some spa and hot tub manufacturers are offering ozone generators and/or salt water systems to sanitize the water. Although beneficial to water quality, salt and ozone can be detrimental to equipment like standard heater elements and standard pump seals.
To combat this I suggest you use Titanium heater elements and Salt/Ozone pump seals; which are more resistant than the standard versions to the corrosive effects of ozone and salt.
These heater elements are more expensive, being made from Titanium and all… but if you're replacing a standard element every 1-2 years, there can be a quick payback in a few years. The ozone grade pump shaft seals are only a few dollars more than standard grade.
So, if your spa heating element look deteriorated and corroded, and you use salt and/or ozone to sanitize, my recommendation is to replace with a version that can withstand the salts in the water.
If your shaft seal is failing, and you use ozone in the water, look for a softening and puckering of the rubber portions of the shaft seal, or possibly corrosion on the spring portion.

That's Lucky editor-in-chief Brandon Holley's approach to the Web. In the second installment of our Media Beat interview, Holley, who once headed Yahoo! Shine, said she realized pretty early that the days of finding new readers "on the back of a CVS newsstand somewhere" are over. "Fashion blogging, to me, is the most exciting thing that's happened in publishing in decades. It's really created a new tier of content, and you can either separate yourself from that content or you can bring it in," she explained. "One way that we bring it in is we have a desk where bloggers can come in and sit — they're called our Lucky Style Collective — they contribute content to the magazine; they contribute certainly online. So, it's a sharing of pockets of audience."

The Houston Dash saw a near replica of their opening day performance against Portland Thorns FC on Wednesday night at BBVA Compass Stadium, but once again it ended in a 1-0 loss to the reigning NWSL champions.
The Dash controlled much of the play in the first half and created scoring chances right until the final whistle as they did in their inaugural match on April 12, but couldn't find the back of the net to overcome Jessica McDonald's second half goal for the Thorns.
Angie Kerr collected a failed Dash clearance inside the box in the 57th minute, and found McDonald unmarked in front of the goal for a simple tap-in past Dash goalkeeper Erin McLeod. It was her fourth goal of the season, which leads the team.
Jordan Jackson looked the most likely to put the Dash on the board in the first half, forcing two saves from Thorns FC goalkeeper Nadine Angerer and putting another chance just wide. Jackson worked free at the back post on an Arianna Romero free kick 16 minutes in, but Angerer made herself big and knocked the Dash midfielder's header off the line with her leg.
Angerer, the reigning FIFA Women's World Player of the Year, came up big again in the 47th minute, saving a Kaylyn Kyle penalty kick after Thorns defender Nikki Marshall handled a Dash free kick in the box. Dash forward Rafaelle Souza, who made her first NWSL start after finishing her degree at Ole Miss, couldn't get to the rebound.
McLeod showed her own international pedigree in goal, making six key stops in the second half to keep the Dash within striking distance. McDonald looked to be in on goal and headed toward her second goal of the night in the 88th minute, but McLeod reacted quickly off her line and made a sliding kick save to keep the deficit at one.
The Dash would come close again in the 77th minute, when Stephanie Ochs flicked on a long throw from Romero into the box. Substitute Kealia Ohai got to the ball in front of Angerer, but couldn't make clean contact on her shot to beat Angerer, stretching the Dash's scoreless streak to 365 minutes.
The Dash (1-5-0; 3 points) will travel to face FC Kansas City on Sunday evening, while Portland (3-1-2; 11 points) returns home to welcome the Western New York Flash on May 21.

dparker necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 70 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Digital Camera HQ
DigitalAdvisor LLC is a long-running e-commerce company looking for a visual refresh for its web sites, starting with our logos. We run four review sites: Digital Camera HQ, Camcorder HQ, Digital Advisor (for HDTVs), and Laptop Advisor. We try to make buying electronics as easy as possible for consumers. Rather than publishing complicated, tech-heavy reviews, we just pick what we think are the best products and put those in front of the consumer.
Regular folks who are shopping for consumer electronics. We don't particularly cater to the tech-head/elitist crowds. We just want the average shopper to feel comfortable with our selections; the logo should make the site look professional and trustworthy.
We need a logo for our popular digital camera site, one that incorporates the name, and as well contains a visual element that can be used as our favicon (square in size, simple).
Ideally, the logo will be in a format that we can mimic to create similar logos for our other 3 review sites, which cover televisions, laptops, and camcorders.
Site Name: Digital Camera HQ
Site URL: digitalcamera-hq.com
Don't worry about the existing color on our site (orange) - we're not wedded to it. We do expect that the site after the redesign will have a light background, so you should design the logo for a white/light background.
Note that the web site names we have are long, and therefore we're expecting, but not mandating, that the winning logo will be horizontal in shape. No need for ".com" within the logo.
Just one logo is needed, for the digital camera site.
Our other review sites: Camcorder HQ; DigitalAdvisor; LaptopAdvisor
URLs: digitalcamera-hq.com/camcorders/; digitaladvisor.com; laptopadvisor.com
Good luck!

Five recruits to watch for 2015 class
The recruiting class of 2014 is in place and coaches across the country are turning toward the 2015 class (in fact, they've long been thinking about it and guess what — Alabama already has seven commitments).
TJ Gaynor of Go Big Recruiting lists five players to keep an eye on for 2015:
MORE: Signing Day roundup | Rankings | Photos
QB Ricky Town (6-4, 205)
Ventura, Calif. (St. Bonaventure)
Committed to: USC
What stands out: Intangibles, quick release, mechanics
What needs development: Foot speed
What happens next: If he sticks with the Trojans, look for him to challenge for the starting nod in 2015.
HAYES: Urban Meyer recruiting speed, chasing SEC
WR George Campbell (6-5, 198)
Tarpon Springs, Fla. (East Lake)
Considering: Clemson, Florida, FSU, Michigan
What stands out: Size, explosiveness, ball skills, physicality, lower-half power
What needs development: Route-running
What happens next: Campbell is a huge, physical receiver who can make an impact from Day 1.
BRADLEY: Evans to Bama stings Auburn
WR Calvin Ridley (6-1, 175)
Coconut Creek, Fla. (Monarch)
Considering: Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Miami, Tennessee
What stands out: Quickness, hand-eye coordination, technique, high football IQ
What needs development: Strength, acceleration
What happens next: This extremely savvy hands-catcher will contribute early.
ATH Derwin James (6-3, 185)
Haines City, Fla. (Haines City)
Committed to: Florida State
What stands out: Range, ball skills, instincts, open-field tackling
What needs development: Upper-body strength
What happens next: James could contribute early at wide receiver of free safety, but he may be best-suited as the center-field eraser in a Cover 3/1 scheme.
C Dominic Fredrickson (6-3, 295)
Oakley, Calif. (Freedom)
Considering: California, Arizona, UCLA
What stands out: Technique, lower-body strength, nastiness
What needs development: Hip flexibility
What happens next: Fredrickson is under the radar right now because he's playing out of position at left tackle. He's a pure center; he has All-American potential at the position at the next level.
— TJ Gaynor was a two-time All-Pac-10 offensive lineman at Stanford. During his time on the Farm, he played for a long list of great coaches, including Hall of Famer Bill Walsh. After tryouts with the 49ers and Lions, Gaynor spent time as a high school coach and analyst for Scout.com. He is Go Big Recruiting's senior recruiting analyst.

The push to achieving more intelligent, integrated manufacturing is putting a strong focus on networking and connectivity as key enabling technologies. At first, that might seem surprising, given the ongoing technology push to make automation faster, cheaper, and more productive. But it seems that automation control suppliers are telling us that the key to smarter manufacturing is actually stronger, more coordinated, flexible links between production and the enterprise itself.
The common mantra among control suppliers is that OEM machinery builders are using a single control and information platform to connect the plant floor to the enterprise, and to meet end-user demands for throughput, efficiency, flexibility, and downtime. OEMs are realizing the benefits of using a single control and information platform to demonstrate a high level of intelligence with the ability to consume and generate information automatically, adapt to new situations, and give them the remote access and insight.
According to Christopher Zei, vice president of the global industry group at Rockwell Automation, there are three important messages and goals to consider. One has to do with the end users' goal of plant-wide optimization as they seek lower total cost of ownership (TCO). A second is machine builder performance: how building better machines can help users achieve their TCO objectives, and how machine builders can better partner with those users. A third message involves sustainability initiatives that support manufacturing efforts.
"More of the automation decisions and even characteristics of the system are being decided by machine builders. These days, more manufacturers, many of which no longer have big engineering departments, are simply telling the machine builders what performance they need with regard to throughput, efficiency, flexibility, and downtime," Zei told Design News.
Two key drivers for builders are the demands to improve both machine throughput and machine flexibility. These two trends are connected, and it's becoming a standard requirement that machines are able to generate information, and make it reliably and securely available. "Convergence of manufacturing and enterprise systems is happening because of a common thread now, which is Ethernet," Zei told us. "It was there on the business side, but you saw a lot of proprietary networks on the manufacturing side. Now, there's a lot of information moving back and forth."
Chet Namboodri, Cisco's global industry director for manufacturing, said users are gaining value from adoption of practices involving the convergence of networks and the use of Ethernet on the floor. He noted that Comau Robotics, a supplier of automotive industry assembly lines, now uses EtherNet/IP for about 80 percent of its operation's communications. At the most recent ODVA annual meeting, he said Comau reported that it found installation, commissioning, and debugging of a project that involved 10 control stations and 12 to 15 robots now takes two days instead of a week and a half.
"If you think about the integration of the enterprise into the factory down to the device layer, there still are two worlds," Namboodri told us. He said that the policies and priorities of the IT side still are rated differently. For the factory side, uptime is everything, while first on the list for IT is protection and confidentiality.
The bottom line for me is that connectivity and communications are becoming top priorities because they are viewed as producing the most substantial benefits in terms of meeting near-term goals. Part of the reason is the focus by customers on total cost of ownership, and the need to flexibly manage the "business" of manufacturing. The result is automation and control engineering intertwining with the IT world to achieve the higher level of connectedness required.

I've been in love with these ever since they were featured in our Spring 2013 issue, and now they're finally on sale! The bright colors will make any outfit pop but we really love the eye-catching gold heel. Dress them down during the day and up for a sexy night out. If the bright isn't for you they also offer the shoe in navy and lime green to give an extra punch as we lead into the hottest months of the summer. One thing is for sure, I haven't seen any other shoes similar and for that we can splurge a little!
