After the changes to Lava Burst in 5.3 I've been looking at haste & mastery scaling, attempting to get some simple guidelines to how much of each you should have. Now, it's important to note that these are rough guidelines, and may differ from stat weights that you get with a particular gear set. The guidelines are also broken down into those with the Legendary Meta Gem (LMG) and those without. This excludes Mastery from raid buffs like Grace of Air

Hello there graph fans, it's time for another edition of Bink Makes Graphs Out Of SimulationCraft Data Outputs (It's a good thing I don't use that as a title).
Today I'm going back to one of my favourite subjects: haste breakpoints (obviously, as you've already read the blog topic). After the last round of looking at this I came to the opinion that the whole haste breakpoint subject has been grossly over-stated, and that there aren't many breakpoints that are important, if at all.
Hello Totemspotters,
I'm (slightly) organised this time around, so I'm able to get some guide updates and blog posts out right around patch day, rather than being Weeks Behind. In any case, I've been doing some work on talent & stat weight analysis over the last week. With no further ado, here are the graphs.

Last year brought the high-profile closures of longtime Downtown Boise businesses like Brick Oven Bistro, Steve Rambo Jewelers, River City Guitars and Moxie Java.
But for every business that closed its doors, about two new ones sprouted up in Boise's urban core.
Fourteen businesses in Downtown Boise closed and 25 businesses opened in 2012. Four businesses, such as Wiseguy Pizza, expanded and/or changed names. Two more were close to opening as of year-end, and three businesses moved to new locations in the Downtown neighborhood, according to the Downtown Boise Association.
The list of newcomers includes Bleubird Cafe at 224 N. 10th St., Costa Vida at 801 W. Main St., SpaceBar Arcade at 200 N. Capitol Blvd. and two medical clinics, Primary Health Medical Group and ZoomCare Healthcare on Demand.

Fire Chief Richard Price of the San Ramon Valley (Calif.) Fire Protection District awarded Capt. Chesley Sullenberger with the district's Medal of Valor for his actions on the Hudson River. Sullenberger was captain of U.S. Airways Flight 1549, landed the plane in the river Jan. 15 after bird strikes knocked out its engines. All 155 passengers and crew were rescued
"The Medal of Valor is given to individuals who have, under especially hazardous conditions, courageously risked their own lives in an attempt to save others," said Price. "Capt. Sullenberger exemplifies these characteristics and the Fire District is proud to honor him this way."
The Medal of Valor is the highest of the district's awards. Sullenberger is only the third recipient of the medal, along with two firefighters in 1995 who saved a six-year-old boy from a burning building.

July 21, 2009 Cynthia Tucker: Sotomayor opponents are racist
According to Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Cynthia Tucker, the Republican Party is being held hostage by a cadre of bigoted, conservative white people who refuse to acknowledge a simple truth:
In other words, for the Republican Party to have national appeal it needs to dump, in Tucker's opinion, the "God fearing white people of small town heritage" vision of America and embrace the "poignant tale" of successful minorities like Sonia Sotomayor. Indeed, for Cynthia Tucker the intellectual vision of many conservative white people simply ends at a person's skin color:
According to Tucker, many of those who support Sarah Palin are simply motivated by an ugly resentment against "high-achieving" minorities:
Apparently frustrated that Sonia Sotomayor's "poignant tale hasn't won over everyone" Tucker goes on to attack those with concerns about Sotomayor's judicial record on discrimination cases. Yet for some odd reason Tucker never once mentions Sotomayor's ruling in the Ricci case against the white firefighters - probably the most blatant example of judicial discrimination against white people in decades. Funny how Tucker also fails to mention the "God fearing white people of small town heritage" who were ardent supporters of George Bush's Hispanic nominee Miguel Estrada or Bush's African-American nominee Janice Rogers Brown, both of whom were eviscerated by Democrats representing the "diverse" and "urban" America Tucker glowingly envisions in her essay. As for high-achieving minorities, ask an Asian student who he or she would rather have on the admissions staff at a major university - a God fearing white person from the country or a city-dwelling "diverse" liberal. It's funny how those who have proposed and instituted caps on Asian enrollments seem to be of the "diverse" liberal, city variety. As for the "high-achieving" Obama, I'll believe that when he releases his college transcripts. You see Cynthia, America's future should depend on impartial standards, not race.

Avoid NHS Drug Shortages with our Tips for Private Medical Cover
A survey conducted back in April has shown that patients with life threatening conditions are finding it difficult to get hold of drugs in 80% of NHS trusts in England and Wales. Delays are being reported in four out of five trusts because the medicines destined to go to NHS patients are being exported out of the UK to other EU countries. There have been quotas set aside to control the amount of drugs held in the UK but apparently this has only exacerbated the problem. Back in April, MPs in the All-Party Pharmacy Group published a report on their inquiry into medicine shortages and discovered that the problem is caused mainly by exporting medicines intended for NHS patients abroad. This is a legal practice under European provisions for the free movement of goods. So if you are worried about obtaining drugs from the NHS it may be time to consider private health insurance, know as PMI. But how do you find one that meets your specific needs with the right price? There are advantages to PMI, such as faster access to consultants and recovery in a private room. And if you are treated in a private hospital, you could also get access to a private pharmacy, which would mean you would avoid any drug shortages. We've put together our top ten tips for private medical insurance:
1. Do you already have a policy?
Many people do not realise that they are actually already covered by a policy at work as part of their benefits package, so before you take out your own private medical insurance, check whether you're already covered by your employers.
2. Be honest when filling out any forms
Always put any pre-existing conditions down on the forms as if you do not disclose them at the start your policy may be cancelled and you could lose money. There are some companies that accept people that have serious medical conditions, you have to shop around to find them.
3. What type of policy do you need?
When choosing a PMI policy, there's more to consider than just the cost. You should think about whether you simply need a budget plan for emergencies or something more comprehensive for the whole family. Are you insuring the main breadwinner or everyone? Think about claim time limits, in-patient and out-patient cover, what treatments are included – and excluded? Which hospitals are available to you if you buy the PMI policy?
4. Don't accept the first offer
It is a little known fact that you do not need to accept the first offer by the medical insurance broker, you can haggle the price! Ask them if they have any better rates or if there is any way to reduce the premiums.
5. Not all policies are the same
If you do this however, and opt for a different policy, remember that although you may be getting a good discount, it doesn't mean that you have been provided with the same level of cover. So check to see what has been excluded or taken out to reduce the premiums.
6. Read the fine print
You should always do this as a matter of course but make sure you double-check the details to see what is covered – and what is not. Is this the right amount of cover for your medical needs?
7. Get any extra benefits
Check to see if your private medical insurance policy offer any additional benefits, which will give you added value for money. These could be free annual eye tests, dental check ups or private maternity care.
8. Do not automatically renew your policy each year
When your policy is due for renewal, start checking around for cheaper alternatives as if you let your health insurance policy renew automatically, you could lose out. This is because your premiums will usually increase with age and advances in medical care. Compare policies from time to time and you could get a cheaper deal or better value for money.
9. Ask for a discount
Ask your broker how you can get a discount on your policy, for example, you could save money by agreeing to a voluntary excess or by paying annually rather than monthly. Or, if you think you're unlikely to claim then you could save further by going for a policy which offers a no claims discount.
10. Think about a moratorium if you have a pre-existing condition
Moratorium underwriting is a type of underwriting in which you do not fill in an application. A moratorium clause is put in that no coverage will be paid out for pre-existing conditions up to five years before the start of the policy. However, frequently that moratorium is lifted after a period of time like two consecutive years where you have had no symptoms from that condition.

CAUTION: Before actually mounting propellers make sure to test the motor operation to assure they run in the correct direction, else swap two leads on the specific motor to reverse its rotation direction until all match the picture. Wait with installing propellers until you see that the IMU and transmitter calibration look ok. Once propellers are in place they represent powerful aviation stuff that can accomplish considerable lifting force, so unless you have everything looking right prior to propeller install, then motors running havoc in an unintended way could hurt both you, the ArduCopter and others. So take care and double-check your setup prior to running with propellers.
Propellers come as pairs in two sealed plastic bags. One pair is intended for running clockwise (front/rear) while the other pair backwards (left/right). Make sure you install them as shown in the following picture (the + orientation shown. Same rotation direction principle applies for X orientation as well) :
By rotating them in the shown direction make sure they are oriented to drive air downwards. Once you come as far as arming motors and applying some throttle, then double check rotation directions before attempting flight.
How to mount propellers on each motor axle:
The washer shall go into that hub recess.
You place it on top, then press it into the opening....
And here is how it looks with the spacer in place.
Now install the axle using both aluminium parts.
Propeller with the mount ready to go onto the motor axle.
This type of 2mm shaft screwdriver proved handy for tightening the nut
* Put a small drop of locktite into the nut and start it onto the thread.
* Consider also to put some locktite onto the motor axle but make sure it does not leak down to the bearings.
* Position the prop adapter with prop onto the axle and carefully tighten the nut. Don;t use a very long-armed wrench. These aluminum thread's don;t like too much force. In addition excessive force can also negatively impact the strength of these EPP prop hubs. The adapter has to tighten onto the axle so that it sits tightly and the prop cannot turn on the axle. If the nut is also a spinner, that's all. If it is a normal nut and there is room, then consider adding a 2nd nut and tightening that onto the first. This provides additional security against the nut working itself loose in flight.
Tags: install, installation, propeller, propellers
After pushing the washer into the propeller hub recess, there is a space between the propeller and the lower aluminum part (shown in figure). Am i doing something wrong?
I am also having this washer problem. Using larger 880kv orange motor from 3DR and propeller hub that came with it. Propeller is 11x4.7 APC. Mine looks just like yours, I can not push plastic spacer past the threaded portion onto the fatter non-threaded protion. So it leaves a space like your image shows. Did anyone ever let you know what to do about it? Thanks Ray.
Is it because the shaft is 6.35mm (1/4") and the plastic washer is for 6.0mm shafts? the 0.35mm makes a big difference, if you push it all the way down they normally split.
I use the 880KV motors from JDrones with the grey 11x4.7 props and they only come with 6mm washers. I have used some washers from other props I was using prior to the grey ones. they have the right OD and ID
> Using larger 880kv orange motor from 3DR and propeller
> hub that came with it. Propeller is 11x4.7 APC
same problem here. Has anyone a good solution for this? I can't just use a file since it would very likely be off center. Using a 6.3mm drill on it? I was confused about the orientation of the propellers fist since it all works fine if you put them on with the writing facing downwards.
I've verified the dims: the shaft on the 880KVs I have is 6.2mm. The plastic washer of the APC propellers is 6.0mm.
I also have the 2836's and the 1147 props. Everyone seems to agree that the base of the prop adapter is 1/4 inch and the prop insert is 6mm. I know that the insert will fit over the 1/4 inch shaft if you force it, and I have done it, but it just doesn't seem right to me as there are indeed 6mm prop adapters in addition to 1/4 inch adapters. They are not interchangeable as far as I know. I don't know that the 6.0mm inserts will self center over the 6.2mm shaft, although the error would be small. I'm more concerned with the integrity of the prop itself caused by the excessive radial pressure.
I ordered some truely 6mm prop adapters just to be sure.
Is there any further guidance on what to do on this? I have the following:
ArduCopter 3DR-B Frame + Motors + Full Flight Electronics Kit
with the AC2836-358 motors and the 11X47 SFP Style propeller set
The included prop adapters do not fit correctly on the prop hub.
Jack, do you mean that the hole in the arm isn't big enough? If so, that's true for the 880 motors, which you have (the arms were designed for the 850 motors, which is what most people use). Just drill them out to a larger size. (BTW, the new arms don't have this issue).
Chris, thanks for the reply and apologies if my question was not clear. I already figured out about drilling out the frame arms to accomodate the larger motors. What I am referring to is the 11x47 props, which come with two sizes of "locating ring" inserts. These are the "washers" referenced in one of the explanatory images in the original post of this thread. Neither of the the insert/washers fit the axle/hub assembly. I want advice on what to do to resolve this.
Just as a side note if someone from 3DRobotics is reading this. The descriptive text for the 3DR-B Frame Kit (https://store.diydrones.com/Arducopter_3DR_B_Electronics_Kit_p/kt-a...) indicates that there are instructions for drilling out for the larger motor size in the assembly instructions. This is not the case. Although it is not that difficult to figure out, a diagram and suggestion of standard drill bit size would help ease the assembly process in this case.
Jack: I just checked mine, and I see that I didn't use the rings at all. The props went on the shafts as they are.
I'll let them know to add that to the instructions.
Chris, if I put the prop onto the axle/hub assembly stock, ie no insert/washer, there is a fair amount of play or slack so there is no way to get the prop centered on the axle/hub assembly. I would guess this would lead to spinning prop being out of balance. I also seem to recall reading, although I cannot find the reference right now, that the prop should fit snugly without any play onto the axle/hub assembly...
I've got this same problem. None of the rings on my props actually fit the adaptor properly. So it's almost impossible to get the prop centred accurately. One of the rings is about .5mm too big, the other too small. The only solution I have at this point is to glue the small ring in, and then use a prop reamer to enlarge the hole.
I never used to have this problem with airplane props back in the day. They all came with a small hole, and you were expected to ream it out to size with a prop reamer. Very easy, and worked well. I'm not sure why they have changed to this ring method. I don't like it.

Gadgets, like cell phone cameras and digital tablets, can turn almost anybody into some kind of amateur journalist. But writer Gwen Thompkins wonders when the amateurs will realize that what the professionals already know - recording an event often stops people from experiencing what's right in front of them.
Coquito, an eggnog made with rum and coconut, is as integral to a Puerto Rican Christmas as presents under the tree.
In New York on Saturday, 12 coquito makers are battling to be this year's Coquito Masters champion. It's the 10th year of the contest. Trolleys will take fans to different locations in Spanish Harlem to sample coquito and vote for their favorite drinks in blind taste tests.
It may be telling that Christopher Hitchens should die in this season. I don't mean the holiday season but a contentious season in Congress and on the campaign trail, with politicians jabbing fingers and accusing each other of inconsistency.

Most of the names announced for induction to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame this week are familiar: Guns N' Roses, Beastie Boys and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The name Laura Nyro may need some explaining.
She was the daughter of a New York jazz trumpeter, who took her along to his gigs. She sold her first song, And When I Die, to Peter, Paul and Mary for $5,000 when she was just a teenager; left New York's School of Music and Art; and became a star at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival at the age of 20.
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. Diplomats in the United Nations climate talks in Durban, South Africa are still struggling to bring that meeting to some sort of close. Still no deal from the talks, which was supposed to coordinate international efforts on global warming. Diplomats are hoping that all the talk won't prove to be just a lot of carbon emissions. We're joined now from the talks by NPR's Richard Harris. Richard, thanks for being with us.

"I thought the season was going to start but it hasn't yet," (Kendrick) Perkins said with a frown. "So I'm just going to continue to work and whenever the season starts I'll just try to go from there.
"Every guy feels different, in my eyes. I feel like some guys may want to take the deal and some guys say they don't want to take the deal, whatever it may be. But I think the biggest thing for the players now is that we all stick together, because we know the owners will do the same. I think right now if everybody puts their pride aside we can get a deal done. I think both sides are being really prideful, but if both sides can drop their pride and come in with an open mind and an open heart, I think we can get a deal."

Both of the mallards in this photo are female because their coloring is brown. Because this is a marsh area many waterfowl birds are found around here.
I spotted this crane fly because it got caught in a spider web. There were many crane flies in this area because of the water close by.
This waterfowl is easily identified because of the red coloring on the male. Even with the poor picture quality there is clearly red on its body and watching it through binoculars shows its beak is pointy

"…from this night on, all that is left of my passion will rest with you." — Lucrezia to Cesare. The Family
Aang levitates in the air, until suddenly, a bolt of lightning strikes his body. The swirling cosmic ball vanishes and the avatar spirit falls and fades away along with the path of light Aang is standing on. Aang's body plummets to the earth below. Back in the physical world, Aang's body is also falling to the ground. His clothes are charred, and there is a terrible wound on his back where he was struck, as well as a burnt spot on the sole of his foot where the lightning exited. Katara stares shocked and horrified, tears rolling down her face. She turns her body and swirls the water around her. Katara creates a large wave and rides on top of it towards Aang, arms spread behind her. The wave rolls over Zuko and the Dai Li, washing them away. Katara catches Aang and lands on the ground, the water flowing away from her. She holds his unconscious body and looks up hopelessly...

>"I tried to find it, of course. The spark. The missing… the piece that fit."<
The spark in question is his soul but i think it sums up his whole life ,always looking for something to make him feel alive. It can be hunting slayers that no one would face just for the thrill or his twisted addiction to pain and violence. It can be his desperate need to be loved , to feel accepted. His speech in seeing red just shows how seriously damaged and fucked up he is , like he is constantly burning inside and he "just wants it to stop" .Ironic that he found peace by literally burning for the world he wanted to save when he was a cruel soulless vampire.

Yes, although at this point is it 'make -DNO_CLEAN buildworld' until I get a clean build.

Comments about R and R Games Hide & Seek Safari Junior - Elephant:
Children love playing hide and seek, so imagine how it is with a stuffed toy animal that makes animal noises. My daughter and I take turns hiding it and then searching for it with the seeker wand. You can hide it indoors or outdoors and be as creative as you want hiding it. Enjoy hours of fun with your little one;)

MODERNGRUMBLE: A Crowdfunding Journey: 14 days left
by MODERNGRUMBLE
There is nothing new under the sun. Moderngrumble grew slowly, over many years in response to this fact. As a screenwriter it drove me nuts on a regular basis that I could not escape the structure, archetypes and rhythms of conventional storytelling without veering into experimental, un-readable at least by industry standards, territory. At the time, I was already expressing myself through numerous experiments with film and did not wish to explore or otherwise transfer these ideas to the screenplay format. Such an exercise would have been pointless as much of what I was exploring with film was of the moment and not plotted or designed. There appeared to be no middle ground, at least for me and my capabilities at the time. I could only produce, at best, a new context or perspective on a story already told. Add to this, the fact that this particular period in cultural history, that of the dreaded post modernism, makes it virtually impossible to create a non-self conscious take on such a story especially a genre story. That very realization being the root of the entire problem. Genre Revisionism was not the answer.
Around the same time, as digital innovations were democratizing filmmaking, it became apparent that someone could realize a genre masterpiece of mass appeal on a shoe-string budget, something that in my mind still has not been achieved. So I set about writing Moderngrumble with very lofty goals indeed. However, as I wrote those first few pages, of a film that resembles in no way what I am presenting as Moderngrumble today, it became obvious that if I was to get at an honest story, something at once personal and universal I was going to have to turn off my conscious mind. At first, I came at this idea in a direct way, I simply stopped writing when my mind made a linear connection, i.e. anything resembling a character arc or plot development. As such the script began to take on an episodic or vignette style. Realizing that even this was not enough, I restricted myself to drawing inspiration from spontaneous ideas, free association, music, dreams, and visions received during transcendental meditation, a practice I was once very passionate about and returned to periodically during the writing of Moderngrumble. Of course when my mind should have been empty during these sessions, often I indulged myself and followed the rhythms of my subconscious instead. This process took several years. I was in no rush, as I had a son to raise and more and more the idea that Moderngrumble may be the only feature film I ever produced took a hold and provided a level of comfort and patience I had not experienced before.
When I finally completed the script, I hesitated in the editing. A part of me felt that like Kerouac, a jazz musician or filmmakers from the French New Wave to No Wave, that I should let it stand as it was, blemishes and all but I relented, my excuse being that I needed to know what I had written, as there had been no review or revising during those years of detailing reveries, especially if I was going to move forward with making the film a reality. In the review that followed, I realized initially that in drawing from meditation, dreams and free association I had created a road map to my own secret traumas, desires and fantasies and that terrified me. How could I bring something so personal to the screen and expect others to enjoy it? While I have always felt that film and literature can be excellent therapy for the troubled mind, I did not and do not generally think that makes it acceptable for wide release. Lars Von Trier not withstanding, most of us do not possess the talent or discretion to render our own nightmares palatable for a mass or even niche audience. That of course does not stop anyone from trying but I digress.
The second thing that I realized in my first reading of the script was that nearly every scene was a re-working and revision of something that had come before. I despaired. In allowing myself to indulge the subconscious I had produced a mix tape of scenes that had been lodged in my skull, in some cases since early childhood. Genre revisionism here we come. I sat there after that first reading, a failure, years of my life wasted in a silly endeavor that I should have known better than to start.
Then I read it again and began to see a bigger picture: 1) Yes, it was intensely derivative but it was and is a story realized almost entirely un-self consciously. 2) As a Rorschach of my own soul it was bound to resonate with others of a similar dis-position. Both artistically and emotionally, it was honest. 3) The structure and archetypes of Story are all very present, and not just a few but damn near all of them. It is a ready-made. Because of it's ambiguous design and honesty anyone could apply their own ideas about what the story is about and they would be right. It can be read as a road movie, a coming of age tale, a horror story, a philosophical treatise on modern art, a cultural and political metaphor and even a very dark romantic comedy. It is all these things and more. 4) It was pretty damn entertaining and could be enjoyed on a purely visceral level.
As such, Moderngrumble, when complete was at once everything I had tried to escape as a writer/filmmaker; self indulgence, navel gazing, derivative and everything I had wanted to achieve; a universal truth about the human condition laid bare, an honest rendering of my own soul's journey no matter how dark the recesses, and an original love song to the genre and art films that formed my early years, and not an homage.
In the year since I finished the script, my mind has been occupied with the nuts and bolts of the business of filmmaking and the visual design of the film. I have accepted that there is nothing new under the sun but my own interpretation. I have embraced that realization and it has freed me as a writer and artist from my own self-imposed restrictions and expectations. And as the script makes it's way into the world, I continue to be amazed and thankful how many of my fellow movie lovers and madmen see it for what it is.

SYRACUSE, NY. – April 23, 2008 – Onondaga Community College men's basketball player Shane Williams (Camillus West Genesee) has accepted a scholarship offer to continue his education and basketball career at Lindenwood University. Lindenwood is a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics school located in St. Charles, Missouri. The Lions are members of the Heart of America Athletic Conference. Last season, Lindenwood posted an overall record of 14-17, and reached the NAIA national tournament as recently as 2005-06, where they advanced to the tournament's Final Four.
Williams becomes the 10th Onondaga player in the past 6 seasons to be offered an opportunity to play at a scholarship-level school. He led the Lazers in both scoring and rebounding this season, as he averaged 16.0 points and 11.2 rebounds per contest. In the process, he set both single season and career rebounding records for Onondaga, as he collected 336 rebounds on the season, bringing his career total to 638. He also established a new career record for blocked shots with 88. Williams was named to the Mid-State Athletic Conference All-Conference Team, was named 2nd Team National Junior College Athletic Association Region III All-Region, and was named to the Basketball Coaches Association of New York All-New York State Junior College 2nd Team. He was also the NJCAA Division III national Co-Player of the Week for the week ending December 9, the Mid-State Athletic Conference Player of the Week and the Region III Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending January 20, and the Most Valuable Player of the Onondaga Community College Classic. Williams, a business administration major, has also excelled in the classroom, as he has earned a 3.588 grade point average and received the BCANY Scholar Athlete Award.
Onondaga completed the 2007-08 season with a 22-9 overall record. The Lazers were the Mid-State Athletic Conference regular season co-champions, and reached the Mid-State Championship Game and the Region III Quarter-finals. Onondaga has qualified for post-season play in each of the past 8 season.

Immigration regulations allow an F-1 student who experiences unforeseen financial problems while studying in the U.S. to obtain off-campus employment permission under certain conditions. This document discusses the rquirements and limitations of F-1 economic hardship employment authorization. This off-campus employment permission may provide real help in difficult circumstances by allowing a student to supplement his or her income enough to meet some living expenses. Economic hardship employment authorization will not, however, enable a student to earn enough to bear the cost of the full-time course of study required to maintain F student status. It should not be thought of, then, as a solution for serious financial difficulties.
If you are an F-1 student who is experiencing economic hardship due to an unforeseen change in your financial situation, you may qualify for off-campus employment authorization under relevant immigration regulation. You must, of course, be a full-time student in valid F-1 status to qualify for this, as for any other benefit of F status. If employment authorization is granted, you will be able to work off campus for up to 20 hours per week while school is in session and full time during vacation periods. Economic hardship employment authorization allows you to work in any job, related or not related to your studies, and can be granted for one year or for the remainder of your academic program, whichever period is less.
When considering your eligibility for hardship employment authorization, the most important point to keep in mind is that for you to qualify an adverse change in your financial situation must have been unforeseen when you first came to the U.S. to study. Immigration regulations provide that the unforeseen circumstances "may include loss of financial aid or on-campus employment without fault on the part of the student, substantial fluctuations in the value of currency or exchange rate, inordinate increases in tuition and/or living costs, unexpected changes in the financial conditions of the student's source of support, medical bills, or other substantial and unexpected expenses." Only unforeseen problems can be the basis for hardship employment authorization because, in obtaining their initial I-20 and visa to enter the U.S., students must first demonstrate that all of the financial resources needed for their program of study are available before they are able to obtain F-1 status.
If you believe that your circumstances may qualify you for hardship employment authorization, please meet with the designated school official (DSO). If it appears that you are eligible for hardship employment authorization, the advisor will ask you to (1) write a letter and (2) ask you to provide documentation confirming these circumstances (for example, a letter from your department to document the loss of a scholarship, exchange rate data showing a currency devaluation, or a letter from an accountant confirming unexpected business losses). When the need for hardship employment authorization is well documented, the DSO will help you prepare an employment authorization application to be submitted to the Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS).
For your employment authorization application, you will need to present to the office of international student services:
The photographs must have a white background, be taken less than 30 days ago, be unmounted, printed on thin, glossy paper and be unretouched. Immigration Service regulations also require that you not wear jewelry in the photograph and that your head be uncovered unless you wear a headdress for religious reasons. The photographs should not be larger than 1.5 x 1.5 inches, and the distance from the top of the head to just below the chin should be approximately 1.25 inches.
(Tell the photographer that you need photographs for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) or "Green Card"-style photographs.)
You should print your name lightly in pencil on the back of the two photographs (include the number on your previous EAD if you have one from an earlier period of optional practical training.
You will also need:
Your application will then be submitted by mail to the regional office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services in Nebraska for CIS consideration. CIS will first mail a receipt to you (to the address you listed on your Form I-765) and will later mail notice of the CIS decision. If CIS approves your application, they will send you an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) as evidence of your permission to be employed. Please note that CIS processing usually takes one to three months. You may not begin employment before you receive an EAD from CIS; working before receipt of an EAD constitutes illegal employment that renders you illegally present in the U.S.

So far I've been "printing" things to the terminal by raising exceptions with the stuff I want in the error message, but this kills the program and is hard to control. I was able to debug pudb with itself back when I was working on the prefs dialog, by doing try: pudb.set_trace() # Kill pudb except: pudb.post_mortem(sys.exec_info()) and it worked just fine, but that only worked because the prefs dialog only died when I explicitly opened it and did something that killed it. In this case, the variables view is needed every time, so it won't work. But there shouldn't otherwise be a problem, as I'm debugging the ui, not the debugger itself. I'll ask around to see if it is possible to run pudb both systemwide and locally (maybe hacking sys.path at just the right time or something). Otherwise, I guess I will just need to learn basic pdb and use IPython's %pdb. Aaron Meurer

VESTAVIA HILLS, Ala. — June 21, 2012 — The Southeast Propane Autogas Development Program's Propane Autogas Roadshow Series made a stop in Alabama today to educate the community about clean, American-made autogas technology. Hosted by the Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition at the Vestavia Hills Lodge, this is the last event in the roadshow series this summer.
Administered by Virginia Clean Cities, the Program is helping Southeastern U.S. fleets switch to clean, domestically produced autogas. Alabama fleets participating in the Program include Lee County, Lewis Pest Control and the City of Vestavia Hills, which recently converted 14 police cruisers to autogas.
"This free event gives us an opportunity to showcase to the public the many advantages of using propane autogas as a clean and economical alternative for fueling vehicles," said Mark Bentley, Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition Executive Director. "The purpose of the roadshow series is to provide fleet operators – and anyone else interested – hands-on experience with propane vehicles."
The Alabama Propane Autogas Roadshow gave fleet operators, government officials and community members the opportunity to test-drive propane autogas vehicles and learn the benefits of autogas directly from industry experts. Vestavia Hills Mayor Roberto "Butch" Zaragoza kicked off the event by welcoming everyone to the city, and speakers included representatives from Alliance AutoGas, Metro Lawn, the Alabama Propane Gas Association, and the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries. Several fleets presented their autogas success stories.
"Propane autogas is a domestically produced clean fuel that saves fleets money while also significantly reducing harmful emissions," says Virginia Clean Cities Executive Director Alleyn Harned. "So far, Program fleets have eliminated 1,300 tons of greenhouse gases and displaced around more than 1 million gallons of gasoline. The roadshows have been a great way to share what local organizations are doing to make a difference by switching their gasoline vehicles to clean propane autogas."
Fleets running on propane autogas currently save more than $1 per gallon on fuel compared to gasoline, and many report reduced maintenance needs because autogas is cleaner burning. Autogas is the most widely used alternative fuel in the world, and 98 percent of the U.S. supply is made in America. Because propane autogas vehicle conversions and fueling station installations have relatively low upfront costs, autogas is a financially viable alternative fuel option for fleets on a budget.
The Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition, a non-profit membership-based organization, is the state's principal coordinating point for alternative fuels and a member of the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities program. Visit www.AlabamaCleanFuels.org.
About The ProgramThe Southeast Propane Autogas Development Program is comprised of public and private partnerships throughout 10 states in the Southeast U.S., Denver and Pittsburgh. Over its four-year span, the Program will put nearly 1,200 clean autogas vehicles on the road and implement more than 30 autogas fueling stations. Supported by funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program, it is managed and administered by the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy and VCC at James Madison University. Alliance AutoGas provides autogas fueling infrastructure and conversion equipment for Program fleets, with co-founding partner Blossman Gas supplying fuel.

Artist Statement: My interest is in the relationship between sculpture and the body's vitality, of seeing, feeling and being. My current work attempts to mutate abstract elements into icons. In recent works utilizing such materials as copper, steel, glass, beeswax and salt, transmutations occur: salt crystals draw moisture from the air and precipitate water; rust accumulates; patinas drip and stain glass. My sustained interest in this process is a personal representation of the body and spirit.
More about the Artist: I was born in San Francisco, California in 1949. My first year of school was at Sacramento State University, where I studied wihth the chicago artist Jim Nutt. In 1969, when I was 19, I transferred to the San Francisco Art Institute. My work was developing on its own idiosyncratic path, utilizing subtle references to the body and developing a personal vocabulary of materials, such as glass, blood, salt and fabric. I exhibiting my work at many alternative spaces and California museums. In 1972, while still a student, I joined The Berkeley Gallery.
The year I graduated with an MFA, I took my first teaching job at California College of Arts and Crafts. I continued to teach in the Bay Area, then in 1976 I got a Fulbright Grant to Romania. When i returned to San Francisco I had a solo exhibition at SITE Gallery and a group exhibition at the Berkeley Museum.
In 1979 I received the Phelan Award and a National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship. In 1980 I joined the Paule Anglim Gallery, taught at The Art Institute and then at UC Davis. In 1982 I received another NEA fellowship and moved my studio to NYC. In 1984 I began teaching at Moore College of Art in Philadelphia. In 1986-87 I was showing with the Deborah Sharpe Gallery in the East Village. In 1988 I had a solo show at Hofstra University, curated by Peter Plagens and, in 1989, a solo exhibition at the Willoughby Sharp Gallery.
In 1991 I received a Pollock-Krasner grant and in 1993 I got a teaching position at SUNY New Paltz, and received a NYFA grant for my sculpture. In 1997 I received another NYFA grant. In 2000 I hda solo shows at the Willoughby Sharp Gallery and the Queens Art Center. In 2002-03, I will have work included in a book called "UrbanGlass Sculpture," a solo exhibition at the Islip Museum, and group exhibitions at Axel Raben Gallery in NYC and The San Luis Obispo Museum in California.

About the justice system
Looks like justice, but isn't

Village poisoned by lead mine wins legal case but after decades gets nothing. A microcosm of bigger problems.
Click button to listen to Lead Poisoning Injustice to download
EDITORIAL: No end to the Klity horror (29/07/2011)
Klity is only a small creek. The lead mine that poisoned it with toxic waste water is a relatively small mine. The village of the indigenous Karen forest dwellers who have been suffering from lead poisoning is also a small village of only about 80 families. Here is a straight-forward and relatively limited case of industrial pollution, and the Kanchanaburi Court has already ordered the company to pay compensation to sick villagers and to clean up the creek.
Yet nothing has happened.
Thirteen years after the Klity lead poisoning problem became public, and after eight years of legal battles, the 19km-long creek in the forest adjacent to Thung Yai-Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary is still contaminated with 10,000 tonnes of toxic residue. Despite the court order, both the lead mining company and the pollution control authorities have refused to clean up the creek, which is the village's main source of drinking water and fishing. Consequently, the villagers and their children continue to fall sick. Rubbing salt in the wound, health authorities have refused to treat the Klity folk for lead poisoning, saying it is useless while the environment remains toxic.
Meanwhile, not a single victim has received any financial compensation because the defendants continue to buy time by taking the matter to the Supreme Court.
The implication is clear. Any industrialisation plans proposed by the incoming government or the private sector - including nuclear power plants - must be under serious public scrutiny. If the government cannot even handle limited industrial pollution such as this, what can it possibly do with bigger pollution disasters that involve more powerful industries.
The Klity predicament is actually a microcosm of the country's structural inadequacy to effect justice for the weak and the marginalised. To start with, the authorities' reluctance to punish the polluters reveals the dubious relationship between state regulators and businessmen. The lead mine has released toxic waste water into the creek for decades. Nothing was done. When the crime was exposed, the mine was fined only 2,000 baht. The problem is not with weak laws, but the authorities' use of the weakest law to help the polluters.
To salvage their community, the Klity folk must go through an extremely lengthy and costly court procedure that has drained their scarce resources. But at least they have received legal assistance from human rights groups. Most victims of pollution hazards elsewhere are not as fortunate. Unable to afford the long and expensive legal fight - which in itself is systemic injustice - they have no choice but to endure the abuse.
The Klity case also echoes the country's larger health problems caused by contamination of the environment with toxic chemicals. Yet, the health authorities refuse to tackle the sources of so many illnesses. In the case of Klity, doctors refuse to diagnose the symptoms as lead poisoning because they do not want to waste their time in court. They also fear defamation lawsuits from angry investors. Without testimony from medical experts, the victims have no chance fighting polluters who destroy their lives.
The Klity predicament also reflects ethnic discrimination. This denial of help goes unquestioned because they are viewed as "the other". Worse, they also face relocation threats due to prejudice against them as forest encroachers. Without moral outrage from the public to pressure authorities into action, the toxic residues will gradually move into the larger waterways, finally reaching Bangkok. By then it will be too late.

lead mine - a mine to get the metal lead
lead poisoning - "a medical condition caused by increased levels of the heavy metal lead in the body. Lead interferes with a variety of body processes and is toxic to many organs and tissues including the heart, bones, intestines, kidneys, and reproductive and nervous systems. It interferes with the development of the nervous system and is therefore particularly toxic to children, causing potentially permanent learning and behavior disorders. Symptoms include abdominal pain, confusion, headache, anemia, irritability, and in severe cases seizures, coma, and death" (See Wikipedia)
pollution - dirty or poisonous (toxic) substances in the water, air or land that can cause health problems for people (See Wikipedia)
industrial pollution - pollution from a factory or mine (or some other place used to produce goods or raw materials)
hazard - a dangerous thing

the other - a person who is a part of a group that is considered outside of your group or society, the idea of the Other: "A person's definition of the 'Other' is part of what defines or even constitutes the self (in both a psychological and philosophical sense) and other phenomena and cultural units. It has been used in social science to understand the processes by which societies and groups exclude 'Others' whom they want to subordinate or who do not fit into their society. The concept of 'otherness' is also integral to the comprehending of a person, as people construct roles for themselves in relation to an 'other' as part of a process of reaction that is not necessarily related to stigmatization or condemnation. Othering is imperative to national identities, where practices of admittance and segregation can form and sustain boundaries and national character. Othering helps distinguish between home and away, the uncertain or certain. It often involves the demonization and dehumanization of groups, which further justifies attempts to civilize and exploit these 'inferior' others" (See Wikipedia)
