Eric Wareheim of Tim & Eric fame directed this genuinely creepy new video for some people called TOBACCO. Beginning as a late night infomercial for a family-run massage parlor, it quickly takes you on a first person tour through said parlour that plays out almost like a horrible amusement park ride as the various masked (and naked) family members lumber toward you. Filmed with a Texas Chainsaw-style graininess it's really, genuinely creepy.

Me: Do you know what I am doing tomorrow, son?
The Professor: You are defending yourself.
Me: (Laughing). Well, sort of. I am going to go tell a bunch of people about my dissertation and then they are going to ask me some questions about it and I have to defend my answers.
The Professor: Oh. So what is your career going to be?
Me: My career is being mom and I love that job more than anything else. I just earned this Ph.D. for fun and entertainment.
The Professor: Entertainment? I don't remember it being funny.
The take away from this conversation with my six-year old son: He doesn't think I had much fun earning this degree and still isn't quite sure what it is that I learned how to "do."
Not to worry, son. Most adults don't understand it either.

The End is Nigh!
It's so close.
All the announcements have been addressed - they are just awaiting a stamp before being sent off.
This is really happening. It's a bit surreal but oh so delicious, all at the same time.
Tomorrow morning, I schlep the kids and carry-on baggage across the country so I can graduate in a week or so. The next time I sit in this chair, I'll (hopefully) be a Doctor. Mind you, "not the kind that helps people" (thanks, son!) but a doctor nonetheless.
I have no clue what comes next. I wish I could figure that next part out.
Any suggestions?

You Must Come Live at My House
I picked up this beauty during my visit to Historic Jamestowne yesterday. Let's just say those colonial women had great taste in pottery glaze colors. It's a handcrafted replica of some of the Surrey-Hampshire borderware archeologists have discovered during their digs there at the site. I simply adore the color and it looks great in my red and white kitchen with Ms. Thang (below).

Who Do You Think You Are?
|(Surry Ferry from Historic Jamestowne)
When I first moved here in August of 2008, I immediately fell head over heels in love with this place. There is not one thing I do not love about living here. Well, except maybe that huge spider that was waiting outside the garage door the other day. But other than him, I love this place. I immediately felt at home - like I belong to this area of the world from about Williamsburg down to central North Carolina. I told every. single. person about it, too. Repeatedly. I am certain they probably grew weary of hearing about how much I love living here!
|(Historic Jamestowne was in rare form this morning and there was no entrance fee, huzzah!!!)
I will come right out and say that I got all teary-eyed on my way home from voting in the elections that fall. I remember driving home from Waller Mill Elementary, the brilliant early morning sun filtering through the riotous fall leaves. As I pondered how fortunate I was to exercise my right to vote as a member of America's First Congressional district, my soft, smushy heart was overcome with gratitude to those who had sacrificed so much to make it possible. I felt almost mystically connected to the land like never before. At the time I just shrugged it off as just a overly emotional, stressed out, Melynda-moment.
|(A "shaggy pine" at Historic Jamestowne this morning. )
As I have been exploring my lineage a bit more, I have discovered I have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ancestors who were born in this exact area, grew up here, married, raised families, planted gardens, laughed over dinner right here in this area.
|(Met this nice lady this morning. She is not my ancestor, but her rooster was lovely.
As I search my Grandmother Mollie's genealogy, names of places like Brunswick, Albermarle County, Goochland, Gloucester, Savage's Neck, Hampton, Northampton, Williamsburg, Accomac County, New Kent, Louisa, Hanover, Essex, Bristol, Richmond, Elizabeth City, Chester keep bubbling up. Places I have been too and locations I recognize. Places that are sometimes no more than 10 minutes from where I sit. While at times there is an infusion of someone from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts or Georgia, over and over again all the roads lead back to Virginia, Virginia, Virginia, Virginia.
|(Ambler Mansion or what's left of it. So lovely and haunting).
Thanks to Dad 1.0, I grew up with the family folk lore that on my mother's side of the family, I was descended from drunken Irish potato-famine refugees (which I am) and back-water North Carolina hill-billies (which I am). But that doesn't tell the whole story.
In addition to those potato loving refugees and hillbillies (from whom I inherited my deep appreciation of blue-grass), I am also the descendant of brave, intrepid and people. People with enough courage to get on those teeny tiny boats back in 1607 and 1608, sail across an ocean to uncharted land, and establish Jamestowne. I am a descendant of people with the fortitude and tenacity to survive the Starving Time, people who then went on to carve out a heritage in the wilderness of this great land. I am descendant of some of the earliest Virginians like Savage, Littleton, Tucker, Hope, Allen, Page, Hearn, Smith, Andrews and Williams.
|(Statue of Pocahontas at Historic Jamestowne. Not a relative of mine, but my relatives sure would not have survived if it had not been for her tremendous work to build bridges between cultures in this area of the world).
It has been a bit surreal as I have uncovered this part of my family history. When we moved here in 2008, I had absolutely NO idea that nearly a full one-fourth of my ancestors were descendants of people who immigrated to Virginia in the 1600 and 1700's. I was 100% ignorant to all of this. As I sit at my computer and keep finding yet more family here in the Tidewater area, I marvel at the almost tangible connection I have felt to this place without even knowing why.
|(New baby figs at Historic Jamestowne. Too bad I won't be around when they are ripe.)
I think I am finally beginning to understand why I feel so much at home in the Tidewater.
|(New baby Virginians at Historic Jamestowne. Too bad her dad isn't around when she is ripe for a diaper change.)

I heart Colonial Williamsburg
I love the outdoor shops over by the magazine. I always want to buy something, even though I have plenty of stuff already.
I love finding relatives buried in the Bruton Parish cemetery.
I love Bruton Parish. I love that a relative of mine donated the land on which it is built. I love being able to run my hands over the back of the benches where George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Jay sat.
I love coming around a corner and finding a man knitting. After all, knitting used to be primarily men's work. I still haven't been able to convince my boys to let me teach them how to knit though.
When I asked him what he was making, he said, "I get asked that a lot but I won't know until I am done!"
Look ma! He's talking to me.
I love these oxen. I learned more about them yesterday than I ever thought I would need to know. These fellas are not necessarily true to the time period. Turns out the breed they used back in the day are too tempermental to stand around and let hoards of people take pictures and pet them all day long.
I love all of the side passages and little gardens tucked beside and behind the houses.
I never get tired of hearing the fife and drum corps, even if there are not many in number on this glorious Sabbath day.
Did you know that the fife and drum corp members are all taught by the older kids, just like back in the day? Did you know the waiting list to be in the lottery to join the fife and drum corps is seriously six years long? Did you know they marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade recently?
Meh. Traitor. I know he is just an actor, but still - Benedict, sir, you were a putz. Traitor. I wanted to stick my tongue out at him but something in my semi-adult mind prevented me from doing it.
Oh, and the wisteria is starting to bloom too which explains the heavenly scent all about Williamsburg lately.
I met someone ridiculously cool there yesterday - he was literally up a tree with his young son. I cried and acted like I was a 15 year old Beatles fan. If I had it to do all over again, I would have turned to his wife and given her a huge hug and told her, "THANK YOU for sharing your husband with the world."
I know it isn't easy to be married to a man who loves his country more than life itself. She has sacrificed so much for all of us - I wish I had had my wits around me to tell her that.

Who Do You Think You Are?
Agnes Ellen (Hayes) Page
About 1894 - 26 April 1929
Black River, North Carolina
Date of Birth: Do not know
Age: 35 years
The Cause of Death was as follows: Ruptured uterus due to fast presentation of the baby.
I have babies. I have babies fast. I have babies really fast. I have babies really really fast.
Turns out it runs in the family.
Without going into to much boring (or gory) detail, I am glad I listened to my gut last year as I was getting closer to having Princess P. The docs here in the 'burg just did not seem to understand me, nor appreciate the gravity of the matter at hand.
But something deep inside of me
My great-grandmother and her little one did not fare so well.
When I was pregnant with the Princess last year, I did not know how my great-grandmother died. I just discovered this information within the last month or two. All I knew was I had a deep feeling of unease and (what I thought was an irrational fear) that something would go horribly, terribly, and tragically wrong if I delivered Princess P. naturally as I had my other babies.
It was not just the fact that I have rapid labors, it was also the surgery I had 5 years ago plus the fact my babies come 7-14 days early. The doctors here in the 'burg simply would not consider delivering before 39 weeks for any reason. I kept telling them, "I will never make it to 39 weeks!!! If you let me go that long, this baby is going to be born at home or on the side of the road!" (And I will most likely die. I never told them that part though, because I did not want to sound like a crazed hormonal pregnant lady, even if I was one!)
Like I said, I did not know my great-grandmother died in childbirth because of a precipitous delivery. I wonder if I had had this information a year ago if the doctors here in the 'burg would have listened more carefully to me. It would have save me the trouble of driving all the way to the far side of Richmond for doctor's appointments but it also means my baby girl would not be a VCU Ram either.
Friday, April 01, 2011
And this ain't no April Fool's joke either.
My dissertation is really in the hands of my committee. I submitted it yesterday.
Did you catch that? MY dissertation is in the hands of my committee. My DISSERTATION is in the hands of my committee. MY DISSERTATION IS IN THE HANDS OF MY COMMITTEE!!!!!!!!

Guest Comment: 'Fantastic trip, the staff were all very friendly and imformative, they worked hard to make sure we had some great viewing of the sharks' Melissa and Garath Morris, from England
Location: Joubertsdam
Water Temperature: 17.1 'C
Depth: 12m
Visibility: 1-2m
Number of Sharks: 10
Conditions: Calm and flat
This afternoons trip picked up where the first left off 'Bent Fin' and 'Notchy' circling the cage as we arrived. Very, very big sharks on the trip and we saw at least 12 of them including 'Sharkius Maximus' 'Big Nemo' among others. It was a lovely group of guests on Slashfin today too, plenty of families on board and Margaret Holden who came aboard at the grand age of 89! We're honoured to have you all with us and it was great to be able to share fantastic shark sightings with you.
Many thanks,

Data center migration and/or consolidation is a major theme in many client networking calls. The connectivity piece is ultra-critical because, frankly, you can't do much migration or consolidation without a rock-solid network. Further, Data Center Interconnectivity (DCI) is often one of the first hurdles that must be sorted out due to the need for multiple big pipes (which take time to acquire, and are usually expensive).
As a result, networking personnel often have a large upfront influence on data center migration/consolidation projects. That said, it is worthwhile to take a step back and look at the effort holistically – beyond just the lens of the network. To that end, we have several pieces of relevant content. And, what better place to start with than a real-world success story:
Video: How to Build and Occupy a Data Center in 12 Months, http://www.gartnereventsondemand.com/session-video/LSC33/UE1
This is an end-user case study from a Fortune 1000 firm, Raymond James Financial. They successfully moved thousands of production servers out of a hurricane zone, with near-zero impact. Spoiler Alert: My favorite part is when they called out how this project identified which vendors were true partners versus those that treated the project as a "revenue-generating event".
Nine Best Practices in Migrating Equipment From One Data Center to Another, http://www.gartner.com/document/2917817
Summary: Advanced planning and preparation is the key to any large scale data center migration project. These best practices will help establish a firm foundation and help I&O project leaders avoid unnecessary surprises and costs.
Data Center Migrations — Five Steps to Success, http://www.gartner.com/document/2692717
Summary: Without proper planning and processes, data center migrations pose huge financial and operational risks to organizations. Understanding the primary steps required in a migration project is key to identifying what you don't know and what resources will be required to prepare your project for success.
and for those interesting in VLAN Stretching…
We get a lot of questions on VLAN stretching (i.e., L2oL3) to support DCI requirements, such as Cisco's OTV, HP's EVI and even VxLAN. We plan to publish research on this topic in 2015, but here are some relevant materials in the interim.
Evolving Data Center Interconnection to Manage Increased Data Center Separation, http://www.gartner.com/document/2046516
Summary: As enterprises increase data center separation to improve resilience, the network architecture must move from being based on "plenty" to "scarcity" in terms of interfaces and capacity.
Lastly, VLAN stretching was a primary topic at this "Ask the Analyst Session" at our Data Center conference: http://www.gartnereventsondemand.com/session-video/LSC33/AA3

Editor's Note: TechCrunch columnist Semil Shah currently works at Votizen and is based in Palo Alto. You can follow him on Twitter @semil
"In the Studio" this week welcomes an entrepreneur who, while working for a major Hollywood celebrity, saw first-hand just how explosively engaging online images could be, an experience that provided him with the key insight into his current venture and why, even today, he has signs in the office that read "it's the photos, stupid" as a fun, constant reminder to keep focus on their mission to help turn online pictures into a dynamic business engine.
Rey Flemings, the founder and CEO of San Francisco-based Stipple, couldn't have timed his venture more perfectly. Two of today's hottest consumer startups are all about, at their core, images. We all had some sense that pictures would provide one of the most attractive, thinnest edges of the wedge to create new networks, contexts, and experiences, and in a short period of time, both Instagram and Pinterest have, in their own ways, helped users create, enhance, share, and discover engaging images. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a successful photo-sharing startup is potentially worth half a billion dollars in private valuations, perhaps even more.
Every time we upload an Instagram or repin an image on Pinterest, however, what happens to those images? We all now have tools to create, collect, and comment around photos, but Stipple exists to solve a very specific problem — syndication and distribution control of an image as it travels across the web. To simplify the company's image tagging technology, Stipple marks images with their own unique fingerprints, a technique that could help a brand control context and interaction around that image, provide attribution for user-generated photography, and make photos searchable, at large.
Photos are of critical importance to these startups, as well as incumbents like Facebook and Twitter. Given all the activity in the space, these companies will need to develop strategies for pushing the envelope on how images are tagged and how we as users can interact with them in the future. You can think ahead and also consider movies, television, and different screens.
There are other players in the space, such as Luminate and ThingLink (for a longer discussion on the problem and technology, see this epic Quora thread), and the way Flemings see things, people will continue to take new pictures and send them around the web, and no matter where they originate or where they go, the opportunities to tag them are infinite — and Stipple will be there to help. For founders, developers, and investors looking at photos broadly or as piece of a larger strategy, Flemings provides an extremely insightful view into the challenges with and opportunities around online images today.

The European Central Bank's controversial plan to offer unlimited support to bond markets will not resolve the region's sovereign debt crisis, according to a report published by Moody's Investors Service Monday.
The plan, announced last week by ECB President Mario Draghi with the support of all but one of his Governing Council colleagues, effectively trades bond purchases (which hold down borrowing costs) for political commitments on austerity and budget discipline from the respective countries whose debt is targeted. Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann has consistently opposed the idea which he calls "tantamount to financing governments by printing banknotes."
"The ECB may hope that the announcement alone will sufficiently reassure investors and remove the need for substantial purchases, but the evolution of the crisis suggests this is unlikely and that the markets will test the ECB's resolve," wrote Moody's analysts Alastair Wilson and Colin Ellis in their weekly CreditOutlook review.
Market reaction has been definitively supportive of Draghi's plan to date, referred to by the ECB as "Outright Monetary Transactions", or OMTs. Spain's benchmark 10-year bond yields have tumbled more than 200 basis points since Draghi first alluded to it on 26 July and fell the most in more than 20 years last week alone. It's currently being quoted at around 5.58 percent on the electronic dealing platform Tradeweb.
However, Moody's notes that the strict conditionality of the OMT programme, which links purchases to participation in a full-scale EU/IMF bailout, may erode some of its early market impact.
"It is also not clear whether Spain or Italy intend to apply for such programmes, or for how long the amounts available under precautionary programmes facilities would sustain each country if they did," the report said.
Spain's Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, has said he has not yet decided on applying for state aid via the European Union's two bailout funds and Italy's Prime Minister, Mario Monti, through a spokeswoman speaking to Reuters, said Italy would not accept new conditions begin attached to the OMT beyond what had already been agreed by the European Council in June.
"Because an ECB intervention hinges on politically determined programmes, the bank's independence is brought a little bit into question," said Volker Kauder, parliamentary leader of the Christian Democrats, in an interview published by the Germany daily Bild. "The ECB has reached the border of what is permitted."
IMF President Christine Lagarde told reporters in Vladivostok over the weekend that it supports the ECB plan and that Spain and Italy have done enough to warrant the trust of their EU partners.
"What the central bank has announced last Thursday is a clear indication of the framework in which it would be an active player in restoring the situation in the euro zone," Lagarde said. "Our sense is that now the euro partners know exactly what they have to do. As far as the IMF is concerned, we shall certainly be ready to help and to assist in the design and monitoring of eventual programmes."
Moody's says the plan will likely continue to buy time from the markets and keep access open for borrowers such as Spain and Italy, but will unlikely address the overarching weaknesses that are hampering economic growth within each.
"To the extent that investors believe that euro area authorities will use the time bought to push through domestic fiscal and structural reforms and broader changes to the euro area fiscal and economic governance framework," Wilson and Ellis wrote. "OMTs will support continued access to debt markets by peripheral sovereigns and banks, a credit positive. But ultimate responsibility for crisis resolution still lies with euro area governments."
Italy's national statistics institute said today that the economy shrank a deeper than expected 0.8 percent in the three months ending in June, taking the year-on-year decline to 2.6 percent, the steepest since 2009 and extending the third recession in a decade to a second year.
Spain faces a €27.5bn bill in October as maturing debt comes due and will need to be refinanced, a task that could be made more difficult if it loses its investment grade debt rating. Moody's, which currently rates Spain just one notch above "junk" status at Baa3, is expected to conclude its review of the rating by the end of this month.

I'd like to point out that I knew Basic Authentication in web servers were not bullet proof but in fact the total opposite (pointed out in the energy@home documents). This was hammered home when I was inspired to do some optimizations on the energy@home project but I was very interested in the initial load and AJAX requests by the Google I/O 2011: Using GWT and Eclipse to Build Great Mobile Web Apps. During that process I noticed the GET request headers include an "Authorization" field with what looked like a base64 string. Low and behold entering the text into a base64 decoder and out came my username and password.
Whilst I saw this running Firebug on my local machine, it makes it very easy for a man in the middle or a sniffer to capture the packet and easily get the header and therefore decode and see the username and password.
In the mean time I have implemented HTTPS on my own installation but this does not help the majority using the software. This does not solve the problem but it does elevate the security to (try) and hinder the sniffers and firesheep like attacks.

Time: about 35 minutes. This crowd-pleasing appetizer can be plated with the greens as a sit-down first course or served without greens as stand-up finger food.
THE WINE: Cold, crisp Sauvignon Blanc with a smidgen of Semillon (see "Wine Pick," below).
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 475°. Pour bread crumbs, flour, and whites into 3 shallow bowls. Stir 1 tbsp. salt and the cayenne into bread crumbs and 1 tsp. salt into flour.
Pour 1/4 cup olive oil into a large rimmed baking pan and spread to cover bottom. Dredge shrimp in flour, shaking off excess; dip in egg whites, letting excess drip off; then roll in bread crumbs. Press each shrimp in oil, then turn to coat other side, adding more oil to pan if necessary to coat all shrimp. Set slightly apart in pan.
Bake shrimp until browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes; then turn over and bake until golden brown all over and opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
Mix arugula with lemon juice, remaining 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve shrimp with arugula and Lemony Mayo.
Make ahead: Bread the shrimp earlier in the day and chill, uncovered (the coating dries out and the shrimp get crisper).
Wine Pick: White with the First Course. Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc 2007 (Napa and Sonoma Counties; $32). Bright, complex citrus and stone fruit, with a rich core from a little Semillon blended in (the traditional white blend in Bordeaux).
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving with mayo.

See more of author Susan Cain's comments below and the test to see if you are an introvert.
Susan Cain's Opinion Piece In 'The New York Times'
"None of this is to say that it would be a good thing to get rid of teamwork and get rid of group work altogether. It's more just to say that we're at a point in our culture, and in our workplace culture, where we've gotten too lopsided. We tend to believe that all creativity and all productivity comes from the group, when in fact, there really is a benefit to solitude and to being able to go off and focus and put your head down."
On whether extroverts should be offended by 'Quiet'
"My criticism in the book is not of extroverts at all, but rather of the extrovert ideal. I actually find extroversion to be a really appealing personality style. ... Many of my best friends truly are extroverts, including my beloved husband."
Excerpted from: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
To find out where you fall on the introvert-extrovert spectrum, answer each question True or False, choosing the one that applies to you more often than not.
1. ______ I prefer one-on-one conversations to group activities.
2. ______ I often prefer to express myself in writing.
3. ______ I enjoy solitude.
4. ______ I seem to care about wealth, fame, and status less than my peers.
5. ______ I dislike small talk, but I enjoy talking in depth about topics that matter to me.
6. ______ People tell me that I'm a good listener.
7. ______ I'm not a big risk-taker.
8. ______ I enjoy work that allows me to "dive in" with few interruptions.
9. ______ I like to celebrate birthdays on a small scale, with only one or two close friends or family members.
10. ______ People describe me as "soft-spoken" or "mellow."
11. ______ I prefer not to show or discuss my work with others until it's finished.
12. ______ I dislike conflict.
13. ______ I do my best work on my own.
14. ______I tend to think before I speak.
15.______ I feel drained after being out and about, even if I've enjoyed myself.
16. ______I often let calls go through to voice mail.
17. ______If you had to choose, I'd prefer a weekend with absolutely nothing to do to one with too many things scheduled.
18. ______ I don't enjoy multitasking.
19. ______ I can concentrate easily
20. ______ In classroom situations, I prefer lectures to seminars.
The more often you answered True, the more introverted you are. This is an informal quiz, not a scientifically validated personality test. The questions were formulated based on characteristics of introversion often accepted by contemporary researchers.

A new two yearresearch project will harness the latest aeronautic industry technology todevelop testing tools that will help crop store owners to optimise theefficiency of their premises.
The 800,000 projectis 70% funded by The Technology Strategy Board and is industry led, with leadpartner being Crops Systems Limited, the leading store designer and developer.
Other partnersare: Branstons (crop store operator); Stored Crop Conservation (fogging); FarmEnergy Centre (energy efficiency); The Technology Research Centre Ltd (CFD anddesign software) and Aceto Agrochemicals Chemicals Corporation Ltd (CIPCdeposition).
Scientificknowledge and validation for the project will be provided by Sutton Bridge CropStorage Research and Cranfield University.
Managing Director Ray Andrews says CranfieldUniversitys involvement is crucial because inability to achieve even airflowis the biggest reason for poor store performance.
Benefits fromdevelopment of a successful tool would be multiple, he suggests, enablingoperators to reduce energy use and crop wastage, while also helping achievemore efficient CIPC use, which could help ensure its continuing availability:
We know thatover half this countrys potato stores are inefficient. But many owners arereluctant to make improvements unless they can be sure their investment isgoing to earn rewards.
But theefficiency of any potato store is largely governed by the ability to get evenairflow throughout the store. Latest research suggests some 60% of currentstores fail in this regard, leading to raised costs and increased crop lossesdue to problems like shrinkage.
Poor airdistribution also risks inefficient CIPC usage, which can lead to excess residuelevels in some parts of the store, while in other parts the crop is at riskfrom insufficient coverage.
The partnersaim to develop a tool using detailed maps of airflow, heat/mass transfer andCIPC deposition that will enable operators to take appropriate remedial action inany store when uneven airflow is detected and so achieve optimum storeperformance.
The number ofnew stores constructed every year is comparatively small, so one crucial aim ofthis project is to create a solution that is retro-fittable to existing stores,so its benefits can be widespread and so of maximum value to the industry.
When thesavings in energy and CIPC – allied to the reductions in crop wastage – areadded up, we believe there is potential to save the industry 50 million/year.

I firmly believe in our ongoing support of the Government of Iraq as they continue to gain capacity. But at some point we need to ask what exactly our Soldiers are doing over there when the Multi-National Division-North (MND-N) Commanding General has to threaten Court Martial's for pregnancies. It's really quite sad when you consider MND-N has the two major ethnic flash points of Kirkuk and Mosul, which currently holds the (dubious) honor of highest attack rates in Iraq. There's also that pesky issue of Kirkuk potentially ripping Iraq apart if it becomes part of Kurdistan. There obviously is nothing going on in MND-N. Read more here.

Hmmm what where?ReplyDelete
We're at the point in Iraq where we need to leave, it's now well past diminishing returns.
It's about zero or negative returns.
Another Civil War or ethnic strife is their problem. And it's also inevitable.
As far as Operation no hanky panky, aside from the obvious comedy value...
If you want female soldiers, then pay the price. It's only been this way since...since..the beginning of time. And I've served with female soldiers, some of them were damn professional.
Some of them were screwing half the unit, so how does this MG plan to find out who the father is?
If he thinks telling GI Joe and Jane no naughty Business is gonna stop that...well Hell, that's just gonna make it more fun.
BTW is he going to CM a wife if her husband knocks her up? Seriously? Abortion by demand? Will the doctors even do it?
And yes, clearly there is nothing going on. Really, and I say that having gone to Iraq twice.
sorry, time to go. Head over to Astan for the next debacle.

Snow covered meadows calms the night,
Sounds silenced by the icy flakes,
White glare tree branches sends,
Winter whispers it's lovely cites.
Below the tree he stands,
Looking towards the dark sky,
Spreading wide his freezing hands,
Catching flakes as they falls by.
Joy fills his loving heart,
In his thoughts she is standing beside,
She's not near but she's not far,
For his thoughts she's is a guide.
Mesmerized he fell to the chill,
Awoken, surroundings he scans,
Meet her soon he know he will
Then she'll warm his freezing hands.

You would think going into remission was good enough but I have struggled terribly for about 10 years since going into remission and am only now just getting counselling etc. My current employer is currently doing their best with me but I had to give up my civil service career after 29 years service. Would I be able to draw my work pensions before I am 55? I will be 50 this year and honestly don't know what I am going to do. Part of my problem is I am in a vicious circle of depression etc, etc and only really returned to work as my Family thought it would do me good.
Very much obliged for any advice and guidance you can offer me.
Kindest Regards
Hi annus horriblis,
Thank you so much for taking the time to get in touch with us about your work situation. I am sorry to hear that you have struggled so much over the 10 years since going into remission, I am pleased to hear that you are now managing to get some counselling support.
I am pleased to hear that your current employer is doing what they can to support you. From what you have written it suggests that this current employer is not your 29 years' service with the Civil Service. If this is the case, then I am assuming that your pension fund is connected with your previous Civil Service role.
We have a team who specialise in this area caller the Financial Guidance Team, who can help in providing you financial support with your options and helping you to make an informed decision as to the best outcome for you. The Financial Guidance Team is available Monday to Friday on 0808 808 0000 from 8am till 6pm or by email.
If your contract of employment is terminated i.e. on the grounds of capability you would be entitled to a statutory minimum of 1 weeks' notice for every full year you have worked for the company (this is capped at a maximum of 12 weeks). You would also be entitled to any accrued holiday entitlement that has not been used up till the end of your employment. It is worth checking your contract of employment as some employers offer enhanced notice pay. We hope that this will not occur, and you said your current employer is supportive, however if you need further advice please do come back to us.
It is important to remember that any contractual benefits, such as medical insurance, income protection insurance or death in service would end with the end of your contract of employment.
It is fantastic to hear that your current employer is doing their best to support you however remember that as you have a cancer diagnosis you are considered to have a disability under the Equality Act 2010 or Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (Northern Ireland). This means your employer should not discriminate against you because of your cancer. Your employer is also under a duty to make reasonable adjustments to help you at work. This protection is lifelong and doesn't depend on an active cancer diagnosis.
I have attached a link our booklet 'Your Rights at Work', which explains more about the Equality Act and how you are protected in the workplace.
If you do feel there are areas where you may need support I suggest you make a request in writing for reasonable adjustments to help you cope with your job. If you have a union rep you could discuss this with them. I have attached a link to Equality Advisory and Support Service template letters resource that you can use to request reasonable adjustments (titled "Request to make Reasonable Adjustments"). You can include suggestions about the adjustments you need. It may help to support your request with medical evidence from your doctor, such as a fit note that lists the adjustments you need. Your company may arrange for you to have an Occupational Health assessment to identify reasonable adjustments you may need, this can often help with formalising a back to work plan. If you are still unable to resolve things, then you may need to raise a grievance and it would be advisable to seek further advice at this stage.
I hope you find this information helpful to your situation if you need further support please do not hesitate to contact us back.

Skip to 0 minutes and 4 seconds We're going to look at the design of a hand dryer that's for use in public toilets. It generates two sheets of air that come out the hand dryer 200 metres per second, at approximately room temperature, and about 30 centimetres above their intake. Now, we're told that the total flow rate is 32 litres per second. And the manufacturers claim it will dry your hands in about 12 seconds. And we're asked to calculate the energy used to dry your hands, stating any assumptions made. So in just the same way that I tackled the questions last week, I'm going to draw a picture, first of all, and collect all the information together.
Skip to 0 minutes and 43 seconds And so I'm going to draw an idealised diagram of this hand dryer. I'll try and make it roughly symmetrical. So I've got two jets of air coming out the top there.
Skip to 1 minute and 0 seconds Something like that. And I've got an axis of symmetry running down here. And the air flow in the bottom here is capital V for volume flow rate, and it's 32 litres per second. And it's going out the top here with a velocity. And I'm going to use lower case v for that. And that is 200 metres per second. So that's the velocity coming out here and here, in effect. And we're told that these exits here are 30 centimetres above the intake. So that's the basic information that we're told. And so I'm going to assume that the air is an ideal gas, and this is a steady flow situation. The air goes in one end and comes out the other.
Skip to 1 minute and 56 seconds It's not accumulating in any way. And so I'm going to assume that air is an ideal gas, and use the steady flow energy equation. And so let's write that out in its full form. So we have the mass flow rate m dot multiplied by a series of terms here. First of all, the enthalpy, h2 minus h1, plus the change in the kinetic energy. So that's a half of v2 squared minus v1 squared, plus the change in the potential energy. So that's g. And I'm going to use z2 and z1 as my vertical dimension. We need a square bracket around all of that, because it's multiplied by the m dot.
Skip to 2 minutes and 58 seconds And that's going to be equal to the net heat transfer minus the net work transfer. So not all these terms are going to have values in this particular problem, so we can set a few of them equal to 0. So first of all, this one will go to 0 because there's no heat source here. Zero because no heat source. We're told that the air comes out at roughly room temperature. So there's no heat transfer opportunity going on. This volume flow rate will be going in through a large inlet. And just away from the inlet, it'll be at approximately zero velocity.
Skip to 3 minutes and 42 seconds And so relative to the high speed it's coming out at, we can say that this term here will be zero, as well. Zero due to large inlet.
Skip to 3 minutes and 56 seconds And then this term here will also go to zero because there's no change in the temperature or the pressure through this system here. So this is zero due to constant temperature and pressure.
Skip to 4 minutes and 20 seconds So that doesn't leave us with very many terms left to consider. We've got this one here. We've got the potential energy term, and we've got the work term here. So we can rewrite this expression as minus W dot is equal to the m dot here with the square bracket. And what we're left with is the v2 squared upon 2, that plus g into z2 minus z1. OK? So we need to find out what this mass flow rate is, and we're given a volume flow rate here. And so to do that, and a mass flow rate, which I'll call m dot. The dot indicates that it's a mass per unit time.
Skip to 5 minutes and 16 seconds It's going to be the density of air times the volume flow rate. The density of air, it can be taken as standard as 1.2 kilogrammes per cubic metre times the 32 here. But this is in litres, and this value of density's in kilogrammes per cubic metre. So we need to divide this by 1,000 in order to put it into metres per second. And so that gives us a value here for m dot. If get your calculators out, you'll find that's 0.0384 kilogrammes per second. And so now we can start substituting values into here. So we can say substituting values, we're after W dot, the work we need to power this thing. So the m dot we've just found.
Skip to 6 minutes and 15 seconds That's 0.0384 multiplied by, so now we need our velocity here, so that's a 200 from up there. 200 squared upon 2, plus g, which is 9.81, multiplied by the height difference. And we're told that's 30 centimetres. So in metres, that's 0.3. And so if we get our calculators out again and work that out, it comes out at 768.1 watts. So that's the energy used per second. And so now we need to do it for a 12-second period while you dry your hands. So we can say for a 12-second period, total energy required will be W dot times t, or 768.1 times in 12 seconds. And that works out in round numbers to 9,200 joules.
Skip to 7 minutes and 35 seconds So that's the amount of energy we need to run our hand dryer for the 12-second period required to dry your hands.
Hand dryer (worked example)
A hand-dryer, designed for use in public toilets, generates two 200m/s sheets of air at approximately room temperature and at about 30cm above the air intake. The total flow rate is 32 litres/second and the manufacturers claim it will dry your hands in 12 seconds. Calculate the energy used by the dryer to dry your hands, stating any assumptions made.

As Mayor John Tory's executive looks to advance the 2016 budget next week, the city's top civil servant says this year's "unsustainable" balancing act puts Toronto's financial future at risk next year.
A report co-authored by city manager Peter Wallace and chief financial officer Rob Rossini raises the pitch of alarm bells that have been going off since Wallace's arrival in May. While the city's spending needs continue to grow — with $22.3 billion in unmet capital costs alone — council needs to find a way to increase revenues immediately, says the report, to be discussed at Tory's executive committee next week.
"The city requires revenues that increase annually to help fund city services and hence it is not sustainable to keep total taxes below the rate of inflation," the report reads. "In order to reach financial sustainability and balance its budget, city council needs to mature the city's governance and decision making process and set priorities based on public needs."
Whether that means creating new taxes — which are bureaucratically called "revenue tools" — on things such as parking or liquor sales, increasing property taxes above the rate of inflation or both, Tory and council may no longer avoid those difficult accounting and political questions.
That test for Tory may be his greatest yet after promising to keep property taxes at or below inflation during the campaign as he attempted to ward off both Rob and Doug Ford and their continued "gravy train" rhetoric in the 2014 mayoral race.
The staff report also outlines that while the 2016 budget is presented as balanced by the budget committee, it "contains fiscal risks that the city needs to be aware of."
With a proposed 1.3 per cent property tax increase, remaining funds were drawn from the assumption of "all-time-high" municipal land transfer tax revenues — an increase of $100.5 million over last year.
Wallace warned in December that Toronto has been a "free rider on a real estate boom" that could leave the city hanging if housing sales dip.
The budget was also balanced using $51.8 million worth of one-time funding fixes such as drawing on reserves — which the report calls "unsustainable strategies" that add pressure to the 2017 budget. The report says those 2017 pressures currently total an estimated $449.8 million.
Last month, Tory and his hand-picked budget chief Councillor Gary Crawford jointly proposed those strategies to make up the budget shortfall, with Crawford calling it a "transitional" budget and "the right thing to do."
The plan included funding for only 40 per cent ($29 million) of the $67-million worth of council-identified priorities, such as improvements to TTC and streetcar reliability and poverty reduction funding.
The proposed 1.3 per cent property tax increase represents $34 for the owner of an average detached home. That does not include an increase to the Scarborough subway levy to fund the yet-to-be-agreed-upon transit plan, which adds another $15.34 to all tax bills.
With municipal land transfer tax revenues expected to stabilize after 2016, the report says the city will be out of ways to meet growing spending needs going forward.
That reality has left some on council questioning the city's financial health and the mayor's priorities.
Councillor John Campbell, a fiscal conservative, said Friday it's clear the city is at a crossroads.
"I think there is no question the city needs to find a way to downsize to become more streamlined than it is and save money at that end, or it needs to find additional sources of revenue," he said. "I won't call them revenue tools. I think that's a misnomer. We have to have more taxes or fees to offset the cost of government."
Following the approval of the 2016 budget, which goes to council for approval Feb. 17, city staff are expected to bring forward options for raising city revenues, which is expected to be debated as part of the 2017 budget process.

Jaundice of the Newborn
Jaundice, technically known as hyperbilirubinemia, is seen quite commonly in newborn babies. It is the yellow colour of the skin and whites of the eyes caused by excess bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is produced by the normal breakdown of red blood cells, which is collected and cleared by the liver. However, during the newborn period, the bilirubin accumulates in the blood temporarily at higher levels than usual. The reason for this accumulation is that the baby's immature liver is overwhelmed by the breakdown of the red blood cells, which are higher in number in a newborn as compared with adults. So the bilirubin from broken down, excess baby red blood cells is an extra load that a newborn baby's liver can't handle. As a result, the blood bilirubin levels are higher. Referred to as physiological jaundice, this occurs in most newborns, usually by the second to the fourth day. It is mild and resolves on its own by the first or second week of age. In addition to physiological or normal jaundice of the newborn, there are various conditions or situations that are associated with jaundice.
Jaundice in premature babies: Because premature babies' livers are even more immature than full-term babies' are, they have an even harder time in clearing the excess bilirubin load at birth. As a result, babies born prematurely (at less than thirty-five weeks of pregnancy) are at higher risk for developing jaundice during the first few days of life.
Blood group mismatch: If a baby has a different blood type from his mother, the mother might produce antibodies that attack and break down the baby's red blood cells. This adds to the bilirubin load on the baby's liver and results in higher levels of jaundice. This is why mother's blood type is tested during pregnancy. If mother's blood type indicates a potential mismatch or incompatibility, there are some preventive measures that can be taken before a baby is born.
Breast milk jaundice: In a very small percentage of breastfed babies, certain substances in breast milk can cause the bilirubin level to rise.
Less common cases: In less common cases, jaundice may indicate another condition such as an infection or even be prolonged or exaggerated by the presence of bruising or cephalohematomas (bruising of the head during child birth).
Although in the vast majority of babies jaundice resolves on its own, levels of bilirubin higher than 25 milligram per decilitre may cause deafness or brain damage. Because of the potential of these rare yet serious complications, all newborn babies are screened and examined for jaundice within a few days of birth.
If you notice your baby's skin or eyes turning yellow or the colour deepens or worsens, seek medical attention. Your healthcare provider will examine the baby and test for bilirubin. Testing for bilirubin levels involves a simple blood test.
In most babies, jaundice will go away on its own. If your baby's jaundice seems to be worsened by breastfeeding, speak to your healthcare provider to discuss options that are best suited for your situation.
If the bilirubin level is high, a baby will be tested regularly until the bilirubin starts to drop off to normal levels in the blood. In some cases, this may require readmission to hospital. Some babies with high levels of jaundice, depending on their age and other circumstances, may require phototherapy or light therapy. This involves exposing a baby's skin to special lights, which help speed up the clearance of the bilirubin from the blood. In rare cases, a blood exchange transfusion is used to remove the excess bilirubin from the baby's blood.

What I'd really love to hear is someone DEFEND this guy, what he said and worse - his actions! You know me, I'm a libertarian, so I'm not saying let's boycott someone for what they said, but rather what they did. And, by and large, what someone says doesn't really shock me all that much anymore. It's what they do and there's plenty of actions that are repulsive here.
Here's my call for a boycott from just about a year ago:

Everton are weighing up a move for Sporting Lisbon striker Bas Dost to solve their goal-scoring problems, sources close to the club have told ESPN FC.
Everton need to bolster their attacking options having scored just four goals in their opening seven Premier League games, leaving them 16th in the table.
The Toffees failed to adequately replace Romelu Lukaku following his move to Manchester United, despite bringing in Wayne Rooney and Sandro Ramirez.
Ronald Koeman is determined to sign a forward when the transfer window opens in January and he has held a long-term interest in his fellow Dutchman Dost.
Dost would fit the bill as the type of striker Koeman is seeking to bring to Goodison Park, as at 6-foot-5 he is the ideal target man to lead the line.
The 28-year-old joined Sporting Lisbon from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2016 and has scored 36 goals in 41 games in all competitions for the Portuguese club.
Everton director of football Steve Walsh watched Dost in action recently in last month's Champions League defeat to Barcelona with the striker coming off the bench for the second half.

Research topics
Academic education cannot exist without scientific research, especially at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. Research topics at this faculty are both numerous and various. They encompass the complete scope from fundamental long-term research to bilateral research in close cooperation with the industry. An important part of the research happens on an international level: international projects or cooperation with universities or companies abroad.
Research institutes and knowledge centres
The faculty's research and academic staff participates in numerous research institutes and knowledge centres.
Research in numbers
- 10 departments;
- more than 50 research teams;
- in all about 950 researchers;
- 165 full-time and 60 part-time professors;
- about 250 supporting members of staff (administration and technical staff);
- more than 100 Doctoral Degree's per year;
- more than 700 international publications per year.
Research symposium
Since 2000 the faculty organises a yearly Research symposium where future Doctors of Engineering propose their research activities. On the one hand the symposium forms a forum where researchers can get in touch with each other, on the other hand it gives outsiders and students a clear picture of the wide variety of research done at the faculty.
Financial resources
The wide variety of research activities at the faculty is possible thanks to an equally wide variety of financial resources.
The most important financial resources are:
- doctoral scholarships;
- projects aimed at fundamental long-term research;
- projects on an industrial or social level, often in cooperation with companies, institutions for higher education, universities;
- bilateral projects with companies;
- projects on an international level;
- international research mobility (Marie Curie programme).

This article describes typical symptoms that occur with lung cancer. This is an important topic because lung cancer continues to be the most common cause of death due to cancer in the United States for both men and women. Although breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women (and prostate cancer for men) and receives a lot of media attention, lung cancer is a much bigger threat to women's health. The biggest modifiable risk factor for lung cancer is cigarette smoking. Some cancers as ovarian cancer are notorious for not having many symptoms for most of the disease course. In contrast, most people with lung cancer will have some type of complaint or symptom that should prompt an investigation and ultimately lead to the diagnosis. The difficulty arises in that many symptoms that occur with lung cancer are very common complaints and can occur with other diseases or without a particular disease. For example, cough is extremely common and is a symptom of lung cancer but also may signify asthma, seasonal allergies, sinus infection or no particular diagnosis at all.
Although many people with lung cancer will have some type of symptom, the non-specific nature of these symptoms may lead to a delay in diagnosis. A delayed diagnosis means that the cancer will be discovered after it has been there for some time and thus have a higher risk of having already grown into neighboring structures or spread elsewhere in the body before any treatment is possible.
The most common symptoms that occur with lung cancer include:
- Cough
- Weight loss
- Dyspnea (shortness of breath)
- Hemoptysis (coughing up blood)
- Chest pain
- Hoarseness
These symptoms occur in varying degrees and combinations of those with lung cancer depending upon how big the cancer is and what the cancer involves. About 45-75% of patients with lung cancer will have cough at diagnosis. Weight loss is found between 10-70%. A bigger tumor or one that has spread will tend to cause more severe weight loss. Shortness of breath (dyspnea) is found in 35-60% at diagnosis also. Chest pain or discomfort is found in about 30-50% of people at diagnosis. Hoarseness is found in about 2-20% of those with lung cancer at diagnosis also.
Coughing up blood (hemoptysis) is a very concerning symptom. There are many alternative reasons besides lung cancer why someone may cough up blood:
- tuberculosis
- pneumonia
- "thin blood" or coagulopathy
- Bronchitis
- Many others (including lung cancer)
The amount of blood coughed up can be classified as minor or massive; with massive being about more than a cup full. Hemoptysis from a lung cancer is caused by the tumor erosion in surfaces that can bleed or erosion directly into blood vessels of the lung. When the latter occurs, the bleeding can be massive even life threatening as this will make breathing difficult.
If someone has these typical symptoms and has smoked heavily for many years, this makes lung cancer more concerning. There are several different common types of lung cancer. It is also possible to have tumor spread from other areas of the body to the lung.
A partial list of common cancers that spread to the lung include:
- Colon cancer
- Prostate cancer
- Breast cancer
- Renal cancer
- Many others are possible
Tumors that are found to be in the lung that have spread from another area such as colon cancer, will cause similar problems as a tumor that grows primarily in the lung.
What if someone has the above symptoms and has smoked for many years? This person needs to see a doctor to investigate the cause of these symptoms; usually this will begin with a chest x-ray. A simple chest x-ray can help look for alternative causes of these symptoms as well as a lung cancer. What if the chest x-ray is completely normal? Up to 5% of people in this situation may still have lung cancer and different types of testing may be required.
The above symptoms can occur with a small or large lung tumor. Certain types of lung cancers can cause unique symptoms in addition to the ones that commonly occur as listed above.
When these other symptoms occur, it usually signifies a worse disease and poorer prognosis. Some of these rarer symptoms include:
- Superior vena cava syndrome
- Chest wall invasion
- Vocal cord paralysis
- Paraneoplastic syndromes
Superior vena cava syndrome – This is swelling of the upper chest, head and neck that occurs as a tumor or very large lymph nodes with tumor cells cause blockage of the main vein that drains the head and neck. The veins of the head and neck drain toward the heart through the superior vena cava. When compression of this vein occurs from cancer, this indicates a very poor prognosis.
Chest wall invasion – This occurs when a tumor grows from the lung into the muscle, ribs and possibly skin of the chest wall. This also indicates a poor prognosis.
Vocal cord paralysis – This may occur when a lung tumor grows into the nerves that supply the vocal cords that help normal breathing and speech. This may create hoarseness. This is also indicative of an advanced cancer.
Paraneoplastic syndromes – These are a collection of unusual disorders that are caused by a lung cancer that secretes hormones or antibodies that cause disorders in other areas of the body. Some of these disorders include severe sodium imbalance or total body muscle weakness (i.e. SIADH or lambert-Eaton syndromes, respectively).

So it might've been kind of hard for me to weed this one down (even now I'm still mourning the songs I left off) but that's because the lineup at Newport Folk Fest this year is so. good.
… and we're leaving in just 2 days, which means that at this point I'm pretty much doing nothing but staring at the clock and running circles around my
cell office, counting down the hours until we leave.
It'll be hard to top our experience last year… the perfect evenings, the perfect shows, the best luck ever that kept us out of the rain and in the room just a few feet from some of our favorite bands… but I can barely stand to wait. So I made a list.

Summer Special: BPC Cold Brew Elixir
Simple. Beautiful. Delicious.
The simple things in life, are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them. Whether that be in your past, present, or future life, when you take the time to notice the small, nondescript, maybe even the initially uninspiring, wonderful things, can and do happen. We here at Blue Penguin believe this to be brilliantly true. Take cold brew coffee for example. It's foolish to think this is a complicated brew to make. In reality, all you do is take grounded coffee beans and let it soak in water for a long time, that's it. Nothing special. But to do it right, now that's another thing. It takes patience, time, attention to the uninteresting, and some may say even love, to turn something so simple, into something that transcends time itself. We have something special here with our BPC Cold Brew Elixir.

It was either stay up very late or get up very early to hear how Obama had fared. Switching on the radio before 5am yesterday morning, I went via Radio 2 - where Alex Lester was playing "a bit of Bing" - to Radio 4 for Obama's thrilling acceptance speech, which was so inclusive it even mentioned "those who are huddled around radios".
Radio 4 ended its overnight broadcast with a package of clips enveloped in smooth Stevie Wonder. On Five Live, Richard Bacon gave things his casual once-over ("[Obama] does have a great way with words, doesn't he?"), while John Pienaar cast around for suitable metaphors. To understand the night's significance, he suggested, "you don't need a very powerful magnifying glass".
The World Service had instant reaction from listeners in Afghanistan; talkSPORT was still stubbornly talking football despite world events, and Five Live's Breakfast chatted to people in a Chicago bar ("it's an incredible vibe") as well as to Tracy Chapman, who had supported Obama and was close to tears. The famously irreverent Five Live listeners texted in with unusually emotional messages, but one couldn't resist a quip: "Let's hope Tracy Chapman is going to write some happy songs now."

State Sen. Forrester sees more work to be done if reelected in District 2
Credit: By JOHN KOZIOL, Union Leader Correspondent | March 10, 2014 | www.unionleader.com ~~
MEREDITH – Saying she has unfinished work, including the adoption of a statewide energy plan, state Sen. Jeanie Forrester, who has served District 2 since 2011 and been critical of "elective" energy projects like Northern Pass, will seek a third term.
A Republican, Forrester is chairman of the Senate's Finance Committee and a member of its Public & Municipal Affairs Committee. First elected in 2010, when she defeated Democratic incumbent Deb Reynolds, Forrester won reelection in 2012 when she beat Democratic challenger Bob Lamb.
Senate District 2 comprises the towns of Alexandria, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol, Campton, Center Harbor, Danbury, Dorchester, Ellsworth, Grafton, Groton, Haverhill, Hebron, Hill, Holderness, New Hampton, Orange, Orford, Piermont, Plymouth, Rumney, Sanbornton, Tilton, Warren, Wentworth, Wilmot as well as Forrester's hometown of Meredith.
"Probably four to five months ago, I really started seriously thinking about a third term," Forrester said this past Sunday. However, "I don't intend this to be a career for me."
Forrester noted that elected office is something every Granite Stater, if possible, should pursue.
"For me, this is the No. 1 volunteer positions you can do for the state," said Forrester, who earned a bachelor's degree in political science at the University of New Hampshire, and, while working on the staff of then Gov. John H. Sununu, earned her business degree at the Whittemore School of Business & Economics.
In 2012, Forrester was named State Legislator of the Year by the NH Association of Counties and also was honored with the Legislative Leadership Award from the NH Health Care Association.
Previously, she served as an interim town administrator in Tuftonboro and New Durham and prior to running for the state senate, she was executive director of the Main Street programs in both Plymouth and Meredith.
"I went into this thinking maybe once or twice," Forrester said of her serving in the state Senate, but things changed quickly, beginning with Northern Pass, an electricity transmission project that would bring hydroelectricity from Canada into New Hampshire and then into the New England power grid.
Supporters of Northern Pass say the $1.4 billion project will create jobs while ensuring the stability of the regional power supply. Opponents, however, are concerned that the transmission lines will scar New Hampshire's rural appeal and have a deleterious effect on the value of private property along the transmission route.
While exploring Northern Pass, as well as several wind-turbine farms proposed in the Newfound Region, Forrester found that the State of New Hampshire has some deficiencies in how it regulates such efforts.
Along with other lawmakers, Forrester sought to impose a moratorium on "elective" energy projects – those that are proposed to address future, not current energy needs – until the state developed a comprehensive energy plan. She also helped introduce a bill that would have required public approval before the NH Site Evaluation Committee issued a certificate for new energy projects to proceed.
Both bills, however, were deemed "inexpedient to legislate," although their subject matter continues to be studied and discussed.
Forrester said everything must start with a statewide energy plan and the plan must include a declaration of intent.
"I want us to be intentional about what we want as a state," said Forrester, and if the state intentionally wants to have a negative impact on private property, then it should say so directly and clearly in the energy plan.
"I'm very proud that right out of the gate," Forrester said, that as a newly-elected state senator in 2011, she worked to affirm private property rights by opposing the use of eminent domain for the acquisition of land needed for Northern Pass.
In the current 2013-2014 legislative session, Forrester said she was proud that the House and Senate passed a balanced budget although doing so involved some tough choices.
If elected to a third term, Forrester said she'd continue to work on keeping the budget balanced, on increasing governmental transparency, and on rebuilding the state's "Rainy Day Fund."
"At one point, we had $90 million in the fund," said Forrester, noting that State Treasurer Catherine Provencher recently told her and fellow lawmakers that the fund was down to where it could cover the operation of the state for a mere "2 point 2 days."
Although the issue will probably be decided before, and if, she is reelected, Forrester said she is not in favor of raising the state gasoline tax by four cents per gallon "because it's not even a Band-Aid."
While recognizing that the state Department of Transportation desperately needs money to make repairs to roads and bridges, Forrester pointed out that a 20-cents-per gallon increase in the gas tax would be needed.
She and State Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, have introduced a bill that would prohibit allocation of highway funds to other purposes and also establish a committee to "study methods of maintaining highway fund integrity."
Forrester acknowledged that "there's a lot of hard work" to do in the current legislative session and also in 2015-2016.
"I wasn't thinking I'd go past a first term," she said, but now she's looking to a possible third.
"I care about this state, I care about my constituents," said Forrester, adding that the favorite part of her job is visiting the communities that make up Senate District 2 and helping solve problems.
Forrester said she models her conduct on that of Ray Burton, the long-time District 1 Executive Councilor who passed away last year from cancer.
Calling Burton her "mentor," Forrester said "every day I do work, I think of him. He was a master when it came to constituent service."

Graphene is perhaps the thinnest material known. Essentially it is a single, isolated layer of the carbon allotrope graphite. In SpectroscopyNOW this week I discuss new research into how a single layer of graphene is transparent to water molecules in the sense that the water can "see" whatever is underneath without the graphene influence. More details on that and potential applications over on SN, but it was the coincidence of a paper by Geim and colleagues at Manchester, which I covered last week in Chemistry World that intrigued me. On the one hand water interacts with a metal coated with a single layer of graphene as if the graphene were not there, yet multiple layers of graphene oxide are impermeable to helium atoms but will let water pour through.
I asked the author of the single-layer work, Nikhil Koratkar of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York to compare and contrast his discovery with the Geim work:
"They appear to be working with a film which could be microns thick," he told me. "The film is comprised of graphene oxide sheets that have aggregated to form a film. Now graphene oxide is very different from graphene. It is strongly hydrophilic and water spreads completely on graphene oxide. Given the fact that the film is an aggregate of graphene oxide sheets it will have a porous structure and hence it is not that surprising that water seeps through these pores. What is very interesting is that helium does not get through! Which means that the pores in the film are very small. Inspite of that water is able to force its way through these pores which is indeed interesting. In our system we have a single graphene (not graphene oxide) sheet and no pores. So there is no question of the water passing through the graphene."
