It was good. Better than I thought. I love the food and the atmosphere.
food and service were perfect. Always a 5 star place
Place and scenery was beautiful. Waitress MEGAN was amazing! Food was ok ive had better and expected better but it was a cool experience
Perfect location for a celebration! Nik the waiter was a class act!
Had a great time food is amazing as well as the drinks. Way better than Ruth Chris and worth the price.
Tomahawk Tuesday's rule! Awesome amount of quality food, incredibly tasty and unbelievable value. Anyway one of these is a reason to go but when you get all three it's not to be missed!
Everything was superb, great place to dine.
I can't say too much wrong with Flemings because I've had two events and it's my go to for great steak, they are always consistent with that but there were a few things I was concerned, the calamari has peppers in which is my favorite but they were quite larger than usual in the dish which was disappointing, also on both orders oscar style was added but did not come with the dinner. The manager came over to apologize for the error and again I was not too mad because the food itself is amazing and I will be back in the spring.
Very enjoyable evening, with superb food and top notch service. There was a mixup with how our steaks were done, but they fixed that fast, and i think they were more upset about it than we were!! They also compensated us with free stuff. You really learn about a person or a business when things go awry, and these guys shined.
Really enjoyed the seafood tower, the onion rings, and the signature potatoes au gratin - and of couse the perfect steaks! The place is on the very high end of price though - i guess you are paying for those amazing manhattan views. I will definitely go again.
Service and ambiance were excellent. Crab cake appetizer and salad were very good. But the steak seemed a bit tough for the high cost.
Let me start by saying the appetizers, dessert and ambiance were fantastic. I have been to Fleming's at least 10 times. This was the worst by far. My steak came out way over cooked. No one came to check on how the food was until everyone was done. At that point who wants a new steak and eat alone. The manager was fantastic and apologized and took the steak off the check and have us free dessert. To me I dont want the freebies. I want a great steak when I am spending $450 for 4 people. This was always one of my favorites but this time 3 out of 4 said they had better at Longhorn Steakhouse. That's very upsetting.
Went for my boyfriend's birthday/ Valentine's Day dinner. It was absolutely lovely. Literally the best steak we both have ever had. Our Mac and cheese and loaded potato was amazing.
Very courteous and professional
Went on Valentine's Day so of course it was busy. Our food took over an hour. The waiter I felt was forgetting about us. Every other waiter got their tables car from valet except ours. Food was good except Mac and cheese was pretty bland
Unfortunately it took 20 min for a martini and bread. Otherwise everything was great.
Perfection. Thank you for an amazing dinner.
Outstanding experience, will definitely be back! Our waitress was amazing!
As always the food was wonderful. I had not been outside my house for weeks because of surgery. Our waiter was amazing as well. I am very pleased as always with Flemings.
Came to Fleming's to celebrate my birthday and we were not disappointed. The service in the place was top notch - from the moment we walked in the door from the hostess to our way out from other servers and staff. The food was cooked to perfection and I really love that the server made recommendations that we actually ended up ordering. Overall great experience, will definitely be back.
The food, service and the ambiance was exemplary! Would highly recommend this palatial experience. Another words, awesome!
Ladie's Birthday
Always amazing! Tom McCarthy runs the best Fleming's restaurant in the country!
New year celebration
New Year Eve
Very nice steakhouse. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere is very nice and service was top notch.
First time eating here. Tomahawk ribeye may have been one of the most flavorful I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Sides were also very good. Beautiful view of the city. Look forward to returning. Must be really nice in the summertime. Right on the waters edge.
very good food, service not very attentive; nice location with view across the Hudson river to Manhattan
We had delicious prime quality steaks accompanied by well made sides and appetizers. Has a great view and nice ambiance.
My family had a superb Christmas Eve celebration dinner at this fine restaurant. All dishes were delicious and the service was very good. We all look forward to returning for another fine dining experience!!!!
Amazing TomahawkTuesday deal from Fleming's. Can't beat their deal and the food itself. Great quality food and steak cooked my liking. Service was excellent and top notch. I highly recommend to those who loves good quality steak dinner with modern yet classic steakhouse decor/layout. Drinks are fantastic as well. Definitely will be going back soon.
Dinner with old friends. Our waiter allowed us just the right amount of time to catch up before ordering. Great foot and great night.
Dan was an amazing waiter. So friendly and professional! A bit noisy but it is the holiday season. Food was very good and timed perfectly.
A bit pricey when comparing to other nice fine dining
Fleming's offers a great view and delicious menu. However, the food was fair. Steak price was $55 and $48 respectively. But the large was the "end" and the small was under-cooked and not seasoned well. While the ambiance and service (James) was fantastic, the food was so so which is why no one was probably in the restaurant on a Friday night on Black Friday.
Thanksgiving and My birthday. Out server Kyle was a bit intrusive and stepped on my injured left foot. He kept trying to up-sell and we just wanted the check. I have been there many many times and chose to have my 50th birthday celebration there. Food was amazing service not so much.
View of Manhattan skyline is beautiful. I surprised my wife and she was very happy. The best item was, Lobster Mac & Cheese (5 stars).
The food was great and I would definitely go back again.
Love the ambiance waiter service was excellent. Definitely will go back can't beat a good meal.
I had a 50 off 100 gift card sent to me from this restaurant. I had eaten there previously though not very recently decided to take a friend out for a Birthday dinner. The restaurant was gracious about the Birthday since I acknowledged that on my Open Table reservation. The view was spectacular and service was ok. Sometimes too much but when I asked two people for salt and never gotten it my guest had to get up to find the waiter to bring salt to the table. I wanted the salt for my salad by time I got my guest was finished his salad. In this town there is a fabulous steak house that I would say was the number one one competition for Flemings and Flemings failed. I will not mention the name and although not inexpensive you get the food service and attention you pay for. Even with coupon the cost was higher than the other restaurant and not the food or service could compare. View was better!
Very thoughtful for them to decorate our table as we had let them know we were celebrating birthday

Do you love smartwatches? Have you ever thought of owning one? Well, if you have decided to get yourself a smartwatch, then there are a couple of things that you might want to consider. For instance, an ideal smartwatch should meet all your needs and also perfectly fit into your lifestyle. Fortunately, below are things to consider before settling for that preferred brand.
1. Compatibility
Compatibility is very essential. You definitely don't want to buy a watch only to find out that it is incompatible with your phone. For instance, apple watches are only compatible with iPhones. On the other hand, Samsung's Tizen and Google Wear OS watches are compatible with both the Android and iPhones but may have limited features. As such, ensure to invest in a smartwatch that will work with your other devices.
2. Notifications
Once you find a smartwatch that is compatible with your phone, you should then consider the notification features that it possesses. For instance, there are some models that may only handle some few notifications. Therefore, it's best that you find a watch that will provide you with nearly all notifications in real time.
3. The Display
When choosing a smartwatch, there are some that have a full touchscreen with a brilliant color, whereas others are simply black and white display. You should, therefore, pick a smartwatch with a display that matches your preferences. For instance, watches with LCS or AMOLED display will enable you to have a splendid view of photos, videos and apps.
4. The Battery Life
The battery life is highly dependent on the features of the smartwatch. Thus, the more the features, the faster the battery will die. But again, it also depends on the usage of the smartwatch. Therefore, you need to consider the battery ratings before you decide to purchase a smartwatch.
5. Design and Personalization
As much as a smartwatch is an aid, it's still a watch and needs to spice up your style. You, therefore, need to find yourself a well-designed watch with a choice of straps. This way you can change them during different occasions.
Finally, the above are the five main tips that will help you choose a smartwatch for your needs. You can also consider other aspects such as water resistance, remote functionality and the pricing. Above all, choose wisely and enjoy your new smartwatch.

Making my way through the nonsense that is the Shibuya Crossing on a holiday afternoon, I am feeling almost desperate to be on a train home. There are just so many people in my way, with no respect for my desire to be not here. Not that I actually expect them to know I want not to be here – I am merely noting their ignorance to the matter. I am almost to the station, when a small but clear opening appears right ahead of me in the shuffling crowd.
I hardly have to think – in fact, I think I know what it is without thinking – to recognize the colorful lettering on the page of that folded-open notebook being held just above people's heads.
I hesitate a moment, verifying that the holder of the sign is respectable/huggable. Despite my being in Japan, I accept that this young Japanese guy is holding the sign, and trust that he knows what it means. Perhaps especially because I am in Japan, actually.
He's young and Japanese, and he looks trustworthy. I throw open my arms, and instantly see his face light up, as he says an adorable "Sahn kyuu!" (How the average Japanese pronunciation goes for 'Thank you.') We embrace, and it is solid and long and wonderfully perfect. I return the verbal thanks, with emphasis on thanking him for the hug (as opposed to his thanking my willingness or whatever on my end), give a gloriously contended smile, and go on my merry way the last few yards to the station.
I savor the experience, and especially the loving hug, as I wander goofily through the crowds up to the tracks. Thank you, God. You gave me just what I needed in order to feel I was heading the right way just now. I am in the right place right now, and it is perfect. Thank you.

The attack on Syria by the United States while illegal per international
law (not sanctioned by the UN Security Council and opposed by Russia and
China) comes to remind as all of four basic facts of geopolitics:
1-US Presidents no matter how "unconventional" must always obey the rules
set for them. Trump came to office opposing intervention in Syria and is
now directly siding with the "rebels" and has accepted the 1990s neocon
strategy of regime changes across Western Asia that are supposed to benefit
2-As Henry Kissinger said: "all foreign policy is domestic policy". With a
strong Zionist lobby in the US and absence of any counter lobby that
watches over US (let alone world) interests, we have a push for wars
supposed to help apartheid Israel whether in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, or Syria.
3-Modern warfare kills far more civilians than military (the ratio now is
>10 to 1). War is immoral, illogical, and criminal and has no "good side"
or "bad side". The only positive thing now is that countries that use wars
as their main tools (Israel, US being the key ones) will lose because wars
have now become also illogical in terms of achievement of policy. Just take
as examples in the past 20 years: the US attack on Iraq and Israel's attack
on Gaza and Lebanon. It is now almost a given like the Newtonian laws of
4-People still have the power to change things. Governments regularly lie
to their own people (all governments). But their biggest tools are to a)
create fear, b) create apathy (powerlessness). Getting people to be good
consumers (of propaganda and products) is key to government "success"
(short term as it may be and to enrich politicians and their backers). Key
to human rights advocate success is getting people to be good involved and
informed citizens. The conflict between the two (governments and people) is
the real consequential conflict we face. It is between short term greed and
long term planetary interests. It is an existential conflict for humanity.
5-It is far easier to criticize existing systems than work to create more
equitable and sustainable systems. This issue while clear is not easy to
address. Our humble beginning towards an intentional community "Palestine
Institute of Biodiversity and Sustainability" is finally seeing a milestone
reached noted above with our opening to the public next week. Follow us on
the web at http://palestinenature.org and on facebook (updates daily) at
Palestine Museum of Natural History.

Scouting and Guiding in South Carolina
Scouting in South Carolina has a long history, from the 1910s to the present day, serving thousands of youth in programs that suit the environment in which they live.
Early history (1910-1950)
Until 1948, some southern councils of the Boy Scouts of America were racially segregated. Colored Troops, as they were officially known, were given little support from Districts and Councils. Some Scouting executives and leaders believed that Colored Scouts and Leaders would be less able to live up to the ideals of the Boy Scouts. The National Office began a program of integrating local councils in 1940, which was largely complete in 1948.
Recent history (1950-1990)
Boy Scouting in South Carolina
There are six Boy Scouts of America local councils in South Carolina.
- Blue Ridge Council
- Coastal Carolina Council
- Georgia Carolina Council
- Indian Waters Council
- Palmetto Council
- Pee Dee Area Council
Girl Scouting in South Carolina
As of January 2007 there are five Girl Scout council offices in South Carolina; however, Girl Scouts is in the process of realigning councils mostly by merging old councils.
In addition three councils headquartered in other states serve girls in South Carolina.
- Girl Scouts Hornets' Nest Council in North Carolina includes York, South Carolina
- Girl Scouting, Savannah Council in Georgia includes Jasper and Hampton counties
- Central Savannah River Council in Georgia includes Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell Edgefield, and McCormick counties.
- Girl Scouts of South Carolina - Mountains to Midlands
- Girls Scouts of Eastern South Carolina http://www.girlscoutsofeasternsouthcarolina.org/

Shawn Anderson to Hike 400 Miles Across Portugal.
Los Angeles, CA, April 29, 2015 — Motivational author and speaker Shawn Anderson doesn't just talk about ideas such as "going the extra mile" and "living the life you love"…he lives them. The six-time author and inspirational keynoter will be walking 440 miles from Lisbon, Portugal, to Finisterre, Spain, starting on May 26, 2015.
"I'm a big believer in keeping sharp," Anderson says. "Life has a way of dulling our potential unless we break everyday routines and create opportunities that push us outside our comfort zones. Hiking as far as I can each day across Portugal with nothing more than a small book backpack over my shoulder has the potential to definitely sharpen me."
Creating adventures to sharpen himself is not a new concept for Anderson. He has biked solo across the United States twice, hiked 550 miles across Spain in 27 days, run a 100-mile race, completed a 40-day around-the-world trip and has been to over 40 countries. Immediately following the Portugal adventure, Anderson will be heading to the Philippines on a speaking tour with the expectation of reaching 20,000 Filipinos.
"Dream big and take bigger action," Anderson shares. "Life is too short to wish for second chances. Now is my chance to not only live the life I love, but to make the biggest difference I can."
In addition to being a successful lifetime entrepreneur, Anderson is also the Founder of Extra Mile America and the creator of "Extra Mile Day" – a day recognizing the capacity we each have to create positive change when we go the extra mile. On November 1, 2014, 527 mayors and cities made the unique declaration and recognized those in their local communities who were going the extra mile in volunteerism and service. On November 1 this year, 550 U.S. cities are expected to declare Extra Mile Day.
The author of the motivational book, Amicus 101: A Story of the Pursuit of Purpose and Overcoming Life's Chaos, concludes, "The quality, value, and adventure of each of our lives will always be determined by our own vision and a willingness to take action on that vision."

SANDWICHED AS IT is in between the international November Test window and the Heineken Cup double-header in December, this weekend's RaboDirect Pro12 action might prove a motivationally demanding task for some teams.
Munster welcome Top 14 side Perpignan to Thomond Park on the 8th of next month, but before that Rob Penney's men are tasked with a league fixture away to the Dragons on Friday. Tight head prop Stephen Archer says looking too far ahead is a dangerous game.
"It's very important to build the momentum, it would be easy to look ahead to Perpignan but we've got to keep our feet on the ground and concentrate on the Dragons," he told Munster Rugby.
They're sneaking up the table after that win against Glasgow and we've had a difficult time over there before, I've played there three times and only won once so hopefully we can get a win."
Indeed, the Welsh region find themselves seventh in the table with four wins in eight games this season after much-improved performances under the guidance of Lyn Jones. The Dragons have vastly progressed in defence particularly, where their chop tackles are particularly noticeable.
Young stars like centre Jack Dixon, and powerful wings Tom Prydie and Hallam Amos – who made his Wales debut against Tonga last weekend at the age of 19 – suggest that the future is bright for the Newport-based outfit.

Munster too have enjoyed a positive campaign so far – aside from the shock defeat to Edinburgh in the Heineken Cup – and Penney's men lead the Pro12 coming into this weekend. Performances haven't always been up to scratch, but the elements are in place for better.
Archer is hopeful that what he perceives as the depth of Munster's squad can result in excellence on the pitch.
"If you look at every position there's two or three or even four in some positions where fellas are neck and neck and you don't really know week to week who will play. There's very good competition in training."
The lads have played the last two matches and had great wins and put in excellent performances. Hopefully now the players who are coming back into the squad from international duty can give it a good go and put our hands up for Heineken Cup selection."
Archer himself is set for his 60th Munster cap on Friday night, coming hot on the heels of his second international appearance [against Australia] this month. These landmarks are deserved for a man who continues to improve every time he lines out for his province.
"I'm looking forward to it, I didn't actually realise it until now. As a player you sometimes forget about those things and the caps come quicker than you imagine so I'm looking forward to Friday night."

GPS Navigation & Maps - Scout is an extended version of skobbler's previous app which provides online and offline maps (via OpenStreetMap) with free updates, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation for cars/ cycling/ pedestrians, routing (choose up to three routes), basic traffic information, speed cam warnings and more, all for free.
There are some qualifications for that. On installation you're able to download an offline map for one country; if you need more, they'll cost anything from $0.99 (one city, Android only) to $10.99 (the entire world).
If the "basic traffic information" isn't enough then you can also update to "Real-time Premium Traffic" data (via Inrix) for a one-off payment of $10.99 (no subscription, that's it).
Still, even if you stick to the free version, there's plenty to like here. The maps are packed with local information from Trip Advisor, Foursquare, POIs, Wikitravel (iOS only); static speed cameras are highlighted; there's no loss of functionality when using offline maps (you still get search and turn-by-turn directions), and offline maps can be uninstalled and reinstalled as required, to save space.
GPS Navigation & Maps - Scout also looks good, with a clean interface, and is easy to use. You'll be able to concentrate on reaching your destination, rather than trying to figure out how it all works.
Please note, although it's from the same company, "GPS Navigation & Maps - Scout" is an entirely different app to Telenav's "Scout GPS Maps, Meetup & Chat", and doesn't have any of its chat or meeting features.
An easy-to-use navigation app which delivers plenty of features for free, and has reasonably priced updates if you need them.

Original by BluMaan Styling Meraki is a matte finish, high hold hair wax that works as both a heat protectant pre-styler, as well as a standard matte finish wax that is used on dry hair.
Original by BluMaan Styling Meraki is a breakthrough styling product for men who want salon quality results from their daily styling routine but don't want to pay luxury prices to look their best. Although this formula is available for the cost of others, it can outperform nearly all other styling aids, providing a high degree of hold that lasts for as many as 14 hours.
A versatile styling product, Original by BluMaan Styling Meraki can be used in two different ways to enhance the appearance of your tresses. You can work the formula through wet hair prior to blow-drying as a pre-styler. When used this way, the styling aid provides ample protection from the drying effects of the hair dryer and helps to prevent the formation of frizz. Alternatively, the styling aid can be worked through dry hair and used similarly to a styling wax to provide pliable hold that can be easily restyled during the day as needed.
Unlike many other styling aids, Original by BluMaan Styling Meraki can benefit men of many different hair types and textures. The product works equally well on short, medium short, medium, medium long and long men's hairstyles alike. When used on thick or wavy hair, it greatly improves manageability, combating fly-aways and helping hair stay in place without compromising flexibility. As a pre-styler applied prior to blow-drying, the formula helps to define curls, making it the perfect solution for men with wavy tresses who struggle to get an even curl.
Men with thinner hair can also use Original by BluMaan Styling Meraki for its hold and manageability-boosting benefits without ending up with a stiff, rigid style. Although the styling aid has a thick, creamy texture, it is remarkably light in weight, so it does not weigh down finer, thinner locks the same way that other cream-based styling aids can. By separating the strands, the product has a volumizing effect that leaves hair looking fuller.
Original by BluMaan Styling Meraki has a number of key features that make it highly appealing to men. The styling aid is formulated to maintain the natural appearance of the hair as much as possible. It leaves behind a matte finish with no greasy residue or artificial shine. As a result, hair looks perfectly styled but not as if it's slicked back or anchored that way.
With its subtle mint fragrance, Original by BluMaan Styling Meraki enhances a man's natural appeal and delights the senses throughout the day. To protect sensitive scalps, the product is made without paraben preservatives, and it's free of the sulphates that can damage the hair's cuticle and make it susceptible to breakage. All of the ingredients found in the styling product are naturally derived. The base is beeswax, hydrogenated castor oil, candelilla wax and lanolin.
As a water-based styling aid, Original by BluMaan Styling Meraki rinses away fully and easily with ordinary shampoo. The styling aid comes in a specialty limited edition jar developed specifically for BluMaan.

Altaf Qadri on the Deadly Standoff in Kashmir
This photographic essay on the bloody conflict in Kashmir is from European Pressphoto Agency (EPA) photographer Altaf Qadri: For decades, neither Pakistan nor India wanted a solution to the Kashmir standoff because the existence of an external enemy enabled both sides, when it suited them, to divert attention from domestic problems. How could you demand food, work, security or freedoms when the nation is under threat? That argument wins every time. While politicians were winning, Kashmiris were paying a terrible price in pain and are torn apart, physically, emotionally, legally and financially. A fertile valley which once was called "Paradise on Earth" becomes a dangerous place to live, its harvest merely razor wire and mines. Indian authorities argue that abuses by their forces are rare and those responsible are punished. But in fact official investigations are infrequent, punishments, if any, are light, and the practices continue. While some abuses, particularly indiscriminate shootings of civilians and reprisal killings, were worse in the early years of the insurgency, summary executions of persons taken into custody have never abated and have even increased during periodic counterinsurgency operations. The Kashmir conflict has claimed more than 60,000 lives, according to Indian officials. Separatists and Pakistan put the death toll at between 80,000 and 100,000.

Putnam: Sectarian Massacre
From Bill Putnam: On the surface, these two photos aren't anything special or probably newsworthy. They are photos of a sectarian massacre though. Insurgents stopped two busses carrying employees home from work at the Bayji Oil Refinery thermal plant the afternoon of March 31. They pulled nine men off -- six Shia and three Sunnis -- and shot them. All of the Shia and two Sunni died; one Sunni man lived and at last word is still in hospital. The circumstances behind this are obviously a little murky. Penetrating that murkiness is proving a little difficult for the 1st of the 187th Infantry. An official from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil arrived at the refinery the afternoon these photos were made. His drive up from Baghdad was faster than his investigation. No sooner than he arrived at the scene did he surmise it was the "work of insurgents" and concluded it. The next day 17 Shia families started an exodus out of Bayji that continues today. Staff Sgt. Jeremy Shields, 1st Lt. Dave Elliott and Alex the Terp, look at the scene April 2, 2006. A bullet casing from an AK-47 the insurgents used to execute the men. This third photo isn't related directly anyway to the massacre photos. Someone parked a car bomb on Highway 1, the country's main north-south highway which also runs through Bayji. The target was an Iraqi army Security Infrastructure Battalion convoy. The bomb wasn't the suicide version (no body parts found in the debris field) and the SIB didn't take any casualties.

Timothy Floyd: Army Surgical Team in Iraq
From Timothy Floyd: I had the privilege of serving during the initial phases of Operation Iraqi Freedom as an orthopedic surgeon in U. S. Army's 934th Forward Surgical Team. We traveled at the front with various brigades treating, not only wounded coalition forces, but Iraqi civilians, soldiers, Republican and Special Republican Guard, as well as Fedayeen terrorists. Initially, we treated the wounded in our canvas surgical tent. As the war progressed, we made unescorted humanitarian missions to homes, villages, hospitals, and camps, including a "black mission" to treat wounded Iranian MEK soldiers. My photographs tell the story of what I saw and felt, and the uncommon empathy, courage and humanity I witnessed. My experience was much different that what is usually portrayed in the American media, but is consistent with most accounts of men and women who have been to Iraq or who are there now. The Iraqi people are just like anyone else worldwide; most of them only want a peaceful life and the freedom to work, study, play and raise a family. (More of Dr. Floyd's photographs can be found here.)

The Laboratory strives to develop subtle and emerging video technologies like ultra high-definition know-how – advancements that are vital to the broadcasting and TV business of Hong Kong, mainland China and rest of the world. Most of the authors who wrote critically about technology and its socio-cultural position through the twentieth century had been philosophers of a general outlook (Martin Heidegger, Hans Jonas, Arnold Gehlen, Günther Anders, Andrew Feenberg) or had a background in one of many different humanities or in social science, like literary criticism and social research (Lewis Mumford), regulation (Jacques Ellul), political science (Langdon Winner) or literary research (Albert Borgmann).
The form of philosophy of know-how constituted by the writings of those and others has been referred to as by Carl Mitcham (1994) 'humanities philosophy of know-how', because it takes its point of departure within the social sciences and the humanities slightly than within the practice of technology. All salary and advantages for staff whose job descriptions specifically includes technology features, i.e. community providers, applications development, programs administration.
Use of expertise is principled: Know-how means the systematic utility of scientific knowledge to practical duties. Information, voice, and video networks and all associated communications gear and software. Scientists and engineers normally choose to outline technology as utilized science , quite than as the issues that folks make and use. A company can have digital know-how, however not be a digital enterprise, an organization that substitutes a wise telephone order entry app for an online web page as an example.
Technology entrepreneurship is greatest understood subsequently, as a joint-manufacturing phenomenon that pulls from a team of specialized individuals from a number of domains, some or all of whom turn into embedded in the technology path they try to shape in real time ( Garud and Karnøe, 2003 ). Technology entrepreneurship is not about a single particular person or the inventions they introduce.
Software program and help for office automation programs such as word processing and spreadsheets, as well as the computer to run them. In its improvement, humanities philosophy of science continues to be influenced not a lot by developments in philosophy (e.g. philosophy of science, philosophy of action, philosophy of thoughts) but by developments within the social sciences and humanities.

The following grants were awarded through a competitive process. The Commission issued a Request for Proposals in May 2010 requesting proposals in three categories:
Twenty-nine applications were received requesting an aggregate total of $78 million. Applications were evaluated and rated by a screening committee consisting of staff from the Commission, the Department of Environmental Services, and the Office of Energy and Planning. Ten of the applicants were interviewed by the screening committee. The committee then passed its findings on to the three PUC Commissioners, who in turn carried out their own review process and made final decisions on all grants awards.
Category I, Program Continuation
Business Finance Authority of New Hampshire (BFA) - $2 million. The BFA will expand its energy conservation revolving loan fund for businesses and non-profits, established through a $2,000,000 GHGERF grant in 2009. This fund has already committed $1,960,000 to NH businesses to make energy efficiency improvements. These loans, which would not have been funded through other lending institutions, will help the loan recipients to lower energy expenses and improve their competitiveness. Loan repayments are reinvested in the fund and used to help additional businesses finance their energy improvements, making the fund self-sustaining in the long-term.
Retail Merchants Association of New Hampshire (RMANH)- $2 million. The RMA, in partnership with the non-profit Jordan Institute, will expand its highly successful 2009 Energy Efficiency program for retail businesses. The program will help retain businesses to identify energy savings opportunities and support them in implementing measures to reduce energy costs. The program will also showcase some of the best examples of these energy investments to spur other New Hampshire retailers to take similar actions. This program will enroll 50 new businesses in 2011, up from 25 in 2009-2010 and move 20 businesses to the second phase of the program by the end of 2011.
Department of Resources and Economic Development, Division of Economic Development/Lakes Region Community College - $400,000.The state's New Hampshire's Division of Economic Development (DRED), in partnership with Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) and supporting partner, Plymouth Area Renewable Energy Initiative (PAREI), will continue to provide job training classes to prepare New Hampshire's workforce for green energy jobs in the energy efficiency sector. In this new phase of the program courses will be expanded to cover a wider range of job skills. Classes are supported by a Mentoring Support program to give qualified candidates supervised hands-on experience with both energy audits and installations. This program will help to ensure that weatherization and energy efficiency measures will be implemented through well trained locally-based businesses who can guarantee that their energy efficiency and weatherization installations are both sound and safe.
Category II, Large Energy Users
TRC Energy Services - $5 million. TRC will establish a program, Pay for Performance (P4P) that takes a comprehensive, whole-building approach to saving energy in large commercial and industrial facilities while linking incentives directly to energy savings. The Program will develop a network of qualified Partners who provide technical services under direct contract to building owners. Partners will develop an Energy Reduction Plan (ERP) for each project with a whole-building technical component of a traditional energy audit, a financial plan for funding the energy efficient measures, and a construction schedule for implementation of the facility improvements. An energy verification component ensures a minimum source energy savings of 15%. The P4P program provides three levels of incentives (based on the projected savings outlined in the ERP) designed to encourage large energy users to fully implement energy efficiency measures. CO2 reductions through this program are estimated to be 147,388 metric tons.
|Pay for Performance Partner information and application materials.
Category III, Improved Energy Efficiency and Reduce GHG Emissions in the Affordable Housing Sector
New Hampshire Community Loan Fund - $2 million. The Community Loan Fund will provide deep energy efficiency retrofits in approximately 425 manufactured homes located in a score of resident-owned communities throughout the state. GHGERF funds will be leveraged with funding from the United States Department of Energy; GHGERF funds will allow, for the first time, the replacement of roofs on manufactured homes that will greatly enhance energy efficiency. In addition, this funding will provide training to the state's six Community Action Agencies on basic rehabilitation and energy efficiency measures for manufactured homes. It is estimated that annual savings will average about $614 per home per year at current energy prices and CO2 reductions for all homes are estimated to be over 10,000 metric tons.
New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA) - $2 million. The NHHFA and its partners in this project, the state's six Community Action Agencies, will implement the Greener Homes Program (GHP) to provide rigorous energy audits, and energy efficiency upgrades for low-income apartment units in New Hampshire. The program includes energy audits performed by qualified third-party energy consultants to establish a baseline and provide cost-effective recommendations for equipment and building envelope upgrades. Audits are followed by a detailed energy analysis using the Weatherization Assistance Program approved modeling software to allow for more accurate and comprehensive savings. The annual target of the GHP is to upgrade the energy efficiency to approximately 785 low-income units, particularly "at-risk" affordable housing (publically financed affordable housing at, or nearing, the end of their periods) to foster the extension of affordability restrictions for an additional 20 years. The CO2 reductions for this project are estimated to be over 80,000 metric tons.

Leptospirosis is a serious disease for dogs. This bacterial disease can be found in most animals including livestock (cattle, sheep and pigs) and wildlife (raccoons, deer, opossums, rats and other rodents). This bacterium is passed through the urine and into water sources where the bacteria can reproduce and remain infective for a long time. Because of the widespread nature of this bacterium, nearly any dog can be potentially exposed, whether walking in damp areas, around lakes, streams; drinking from those same sources; and, swimming or running in the woods and fields while hunting.
This bacterium can be a potential problem in our area due to the recreational sports related to water, as well as, flooding that can occur in the spring and summer. When your dog drinks the infected water the bacteria can enter the blood stream through minor cuts and abrasions in the mouth. Additionally, this bacterium may invade through any mucous membrane (eyes, mouth and nose). Your dog could also become infected through socializing with other dogs at the dog park. The risk of exposure increases as the days become warmer and during rainy periods.
Flu-like symptoms (fever, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, depression and lethargy) are common with this disease. If untreated, this disease can progress to kidney or liver disease culminating in death. Recently, Leptospirosis has been identified in Cottage Grove, St Louis Park and St Paul. Many of these dogs were house dogs living typical suburban and urban lives.
Treatment includes supportive care and antibiotics. The best treatment is actually prevention. A vaccine is available for your dog. Initially, two doses are given about 3-4 weeks apart. From that time on, annual vaccination can prevent this disease for most dogs. These vaccines are safe and affordable.
Interestingly enough cats seem to have some natural resistance. Additionally, cats are predominantly indoor in our area and have very limited potential for exposure.
People can get Leptospirosis. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta estimates that there are more than 200 human cases each year. While the disease is rarely fatal in people, it can cause significant disease in our kidneys and liver. We can avoid exposure by wearing protective clothing and practicing good sanitation habits (washing hands).
Be sure to discuss your dog's lifestyle and the potential prevention of this disease in your best friend.

Obtaining a Win in a Field Marked by Losses
I have been in child welfare roughly a year to date as an ongoing case manager. I first got involved with child welfare because I previously had worked with parents who had been involved in child welfare cases when they were children. I wanted to ensure that I could and would do anything possible to help children through this process. … Continue

Fast-framing camera based observations of spheromak-like plasmoid collision and merging process using two magnetized coaxial plasma gun
April 2018 | T. Matsumoto | HTPD2018 | Poster
We have been conducting compact toroid (CT) collision and merging experiments by using two magnetized
coaxial plasma guns (MCPG). As is well known, an actual CT/plasmoid moves macroscopically in a confining magnetic field. Therefore, three-dimensional measurements are important in understanding the behavior of the CTs.

We just uploaded version 0.7.0.3 (it might take some time until the new version is approved), which does not contain any new features, but fixes a security hole:
The Problem
As the notes are directly to the website, it theoretically can access the content of the notes. While such a scenario might seem unlikely, it is potential threat.
The Solution
There are several possible solutions:
1. The most secure solution is to not add the notes to the website, but to the browser and only layout them on top of the website.
This is how Internote is doing it and I have to say, they did a pretty good job. Unfortunately it is not that easy to do so, as the internal structure of the Firefox UI seems to be different for different OS (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux). But I experienced some usabilities issues on Mac OS X like flickering of the notes when scrolling and problems with dragging the notes.
2. Add the notes to the website, but protect the content from being accessed. This solution is "less secure" in a sense that a website could still detect whether you added notes, but it cannot read the contents anymore. It cannot get more information than how many notes you created.
We decided to take this approach as it was much easier to implement in a shorter time. The content of the notes are now loaded into iframes, which, due to the same-origin policy, can't be accessed by the parent page.
Unfortunately, it seems that Firefox 4 contains a bug which does not respect the same origin policy. But we will follow this issue.
