Believe me, ad rather be typing this from Lamu on a dhow in a *** but life has me doing it in Nairobi. Lamu! Lamu! Lamu! A song I have sung since 2017 and it’s not about to end. The only difference in the song is that I will now sing of its goodness. A week ago a group of 6 (myself included) set out for Lamu after 6 months of heavy google work, planning, and saving up cash. We left Nairobi via Wilson airport on a rainy Thursday morning at 9:00 hrs and landed in Manda airport around 11:11 am. Transfers are done via boats (stop imagining a cab) and within 5 or so minutes Lamu old town, Shella, and Manda islands welcome you on the other side. For this particular trip, we chose a house in old town Lamu for our 4 days accommodation. All these thanks to booking.com and a few referrals from chinku travels.
How was our stay?
Being out in a group of serious travelers everyone had their expectations and experiences from past travels but Lamu blew out our minds. It’s the not-so-hot weather, the culture, food, and the people for us. Forget the Nairobi saying “watu wa Mombasa ni welcoming” Lamu people are IT! They have this genuine love and the want to help. Forget being a tourist, they treat you for the human being you are. I enjoyed moments when a random guy would ask you where one group member is moments when we could be walking without one of us. This tells you how small the town is and everyone knows everyone. I have never felt this safe ever during a holiday. You forget your tripod in a restaurant and someone is running to get it to you. Now, enough of the praises let’s have a look at some of the activities enjoyed during our stay. (Emotional going through them)
Departure from Nairobi to Lamu. Hotel check-in, lunch, and an afternoon of swimming and catching up. Later in the evening we took a stroll to the beach and to familiarize ourselves with the town. During our walk, a gentleman invited us to his workshop where he makes boats from scratch. The work and processes involved are fascinating. This gentleman was kind enough to do demos of his work and even allowed us to record and take photos in the boat workshop. We (ladies) got some Henna work done again courtesy of a stranger who invited us to his house where his wife did the henna work on us. On our way back to the hotel we stopped by for some street food which ended up being our dinner.
Remember the gentleman who helped us with henna? We chose to have him as our guide throughout our stay. While most guides study the culture to tell stories, Mr. Abu (our guide) has lived through the culture. (Culture is him and he is culture as put by Nairobian). This is a full day packed with the following activities;
Takwa ruins sail
This is a historical site, part of the national museums of Kenya hosting remains of a Swahili trade town that was abolished in the seventeenth century. It is situated on the south side of Manda island and getting there one needs a boat ride. During the sail to and from enjoy the mangrove vegetation and the breeze through the mangrove. Take as many shots as you can and enjoy the sail through the creek. Make sure to have a well-versed guide who understands the ocean timings to avoid high tides. On the far end of Takwa ruins enjoy the beach.
This is a unique town/village 45 minutes away from Lamu town while walking. It is one of the most tourist villages in Lamu town with a very beautiful beach, dunes, and high-end hotels. During the visit enjoy the dunes and cool off on the Shella beach. Take a tour through the village and learn more about the people’s culture while at it.
Lamu old town tour
This was and is my favorite bit of the entire trip. I love culture and cultural stories. Lamu old town is so rich in culture that you cannot ignore it. The narrow streets, the smell of food, the slow activities, and the Lamu cats in this town is everything. While at it make sure to visit;
An art gallery; phoenix art shop to be specific, get yourself some art pieces and promote Mzee Abu through which you promote the community.
Lamu Museum; Get a guide to walk you through the museum rich with the Swahili culture. Learn more on the Swahili way of life as well as the coming to be of Lamu.
Lamu fort; one of the oldest buildings in the middle of Lamu town built between 1813 and 1821 by Omani as a protection tool along the coastline. Today the open auditorium inside the fort is used by the community to host events. The fort has a library as well and supports kids talented in arts. Discover more about the Omani and this watchtower.
Smith workshop; if pieces of jewelry with a touch of culture are your thing, make sure to visit this shop and get yourself or a loved one a piece or two. The rings are said to have been made from the remains of a wrecked ship from the oceans.
As usual, we ended the day with a street food dinner this time mshikakis and
I can hear Phenny and the girls scream this is IT! It’s the last day of activities and guess who is about to shake what their mamas gave them on a dhow? Wait let’s do that again…. guess who is about to shake what their mamas gave them on the Lamu dhow competition-winning dhow? Us! We! Well, let Us see how the day went;
Manda Island;An island opposite Shella beach with the most beautiful beach and hotels. If you wish to have a honeymoon in Lamu, this is the place! Quite and deserted from all the world noise. We enjoyed a cold swim and just relaxed by the beach.
Sunset cruise; Drum rolls, please… The excitement that comes with the dhow cannot be explained on a word document. The breeze through the mangrove creek is the perfect entrance every bride should have. The swahili snacks on board aaaah. If you miss the perfect sunset due to weather changes make sure to enjoy the ride. Throw a party if you like and just let go. On this particular day, the sunset was not as hot as expected as we experienced some rain before and during the cruise. That said it was still a sunset cruise that we all enjoyed.
Floating Bar; after enjoying the sunset make a stop at the floating bar, enjoy a meal, drinks, and music.
Day 004: Donkey ride
This happened to be our final day with an evening flight back to Nairobi. After breakfast part of the group enjoyed a donkey ride while the rest enjoyed baskets shopping in Lamu town. We also enjoyed the pool for one last time, lunch, and off to Manda airport for our flight back to Nairobi.
Now how much did this trip cost us?
|Accommodation ( for the 3 nights pp on bed & breakfast)||6,950|
|Airport boat transfer to & from Manda airport||200|
|Sunset dhow cruise+snacks||1,333|
|Lamu X fort museum entrance fees||100|
|Takwa ruins entrance fees||100|
|Guide (Day 002 full day)||1,500|
|Boat rides; Return Takwa X shella Return Manda island Return to the floating bar X Lamu||400 400 300|
- Skyward have ahave a Ksh 6,950 offer running on most days for the remaining part of the year from Nairobi to Lamu.
- The above prices are per person in Kenyan shillings.
- Airport transfers are priced at 100 pp to Lamu and 100 pp to Manda on departure date.
- Dhow cruise was 8000 inclusive of snacks / 6 people thus 1333 per person.
- The ticket used at Lamu museum is also used to enter Lamu fort.
- Our full day Guide charged 9000 for all the activities on Day 002 (8am-5pm) / 6 people.
- Meals we were always on the move hence street food served us best with “viazi karais” ranging from Ksh 20 to 100 depending on portions served.
- Above prices are bound to change depending on the season, vendors wish and our economy.
Lamu is densely populated with Muslims hence if you can transport your alcohol from Nairobi as most restaurants do not sell liquor.
Lamu town has beautiful affordable hotels with all the facilities a traveler would require. Check your options on booking.com.
Dress appropriately; avoid booty shorts and tinny tops as it is a Muslim community. Respect their culture!
Till next time like comment, share, and keep safe.

Map of the Week: Portsmouth History Photo Map
Why we like it: The Portsmouth History Photo Map is a great demonstration of combining old maps and photos with Google Maps.
You start by viewing the 1896 map of Portsmouth on top of a Google Map. The old map is overlayed on top of the Google Map using an ImageMapType.
You can choose to look at standard Google Maps base map by clicking on Modern map, which reverts you to the road map.
The featured markers, such as this one for Charles Dickens, are created using a standard Marker with a custom icon and size.
Instead of the standard InfoWindow, the developer created a Custom Overlay that allows for a more dynamic experience, allowing for a gallery of photos to be displayed in the overlay.
Finally, to control what’s showing on the map, the developer created a custom div that sits on top of the map and controls it with onclick events.
All in all a great custom implementation of our API.

Managerial Miscues and Multiple Claims of Discrimination a/k/a This Is Not Your Personal Candy Store
By Michael Cork
The cold-caller revealed that the manager who conducted interviews was in his late twenties to early thirties, single, a member of a racial minority, and apparently heterosexual. He added that the med-tech employees were uniformly female, single, in their early to mid-twenties, and members of the same racial minority as the hiring manager. The applicant suspected that the hiring manager was basing hiring decisions on the potential for romance. And the applicant's suspicions were bolstered after a chance encounter with an existing med-tech in the hallway, after the interview. Yes, indeed, the applicant was not hired, because, arguably, he was the wrong sex, the wrong race, too old, and had those children to deal with.
If Chris Matthews was a plaintiff's employment lawyer, these facts would give him a "thrill up his leg." One interview, followed by a rejection and some valuable information from an existing employee provided viable claims based on sex, race, age, and marital/family status.
But I cannot help but slip on my management hat and wonder who this guy reported to, and where human resources was. This manager—no, this employer—needed an experienced HR person to establish some hiring parameters, to pre-screen applicants, and to remove Rudolph Valentino from the hiring process. Because in addition to the aforementioned claims by the rejected applicant, it was only a matter of time before the sexual harassment claims started to roll-in from the existing med-techs. And don't forget the claims by former med-techs he terminated because they rejected his advances. Finally, this employer was a prime candidate for a "no romance" policy prohibiting relationships between superiors and subordinates.

Value based care has gone from dream to reality. Accompanying this transition is a massive transfer of risk from third party payers to providers. We are, in essence, becoming insurers! Physicians have come to accept this new world, but are not in a position to truly understand it. The main reason is that we have never been trained to understand basic concepts in financial risk assessment.
The recent failure of Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s ACO is the best example. “We were cutting costs and saving money and then paying a penalty on top of that,” said Dr. Robert A. Greene, an executive vice president of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock health system. “We would have loved to stay in the federal program, but it was just not sustainable.” In the end, Dartmouth, which was a pioneer in creating the ACO model, improved quality and reduced Medicare spending on hospitalizations, procedures, imaging and testing. Nevertheless, they miscalculated the financial risk of the ACO and had to shut it down.
Why did some of the smartest physicians in the country fail? It may be that we are terrible at understanding and pricing different kinds of risk. For example, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the number of air passengers fell while the number of miles driven increased – even though driving is exponentially riskier than flying. This so-called “9/11 Effect,” prompted by a fear of further terrorist attacks and a wish to avoid long waits in airport security lines, had the unintended consequence of creating 2,170 additional traffic fatalities in the three months following the collapse of the World Trade Center. Clearly, travelers did not make their risk calculations are based on objective measures.
But even “objectivity” can be misleading. The stock market is a labyrinthine laboratory for understanding the machinations of risk assessment. More than any other industry, the financial services sector employs people who believe they can accurately gauge the probability or risk of a given outcome. In the end, though, estimates vary widely based on a combination of access to information and fundamental assumptions. The result? A marketplace where different models create different risk analyses and, in turn, different prices.
For physicians, risk analysis has historically revolved around specific interventions that were extensively studied and published in peer-reviewed journals or put forward as best practices by societies. Judgments grounded in training and informed by experience were applied to a specific patient presenting with a particular condition and set of comorbidities. Consideration might be given to a course of action that could mitigate risk from a malpractice action, but rarely went further afield.
Reimbursement Model Risks
The traditional method of patient risk analysis has been supplanted by the need to analyze patients through the lens of a healthcare model that relentlessly pushes for ever-better outcomes at ever-lower costs. The financial risks associated with newer reimbursement models, such as capitation and bundled payments, are real and require careful consideration.
When talking about financial risk, it’s helpful to talk in terms of objective risk – when the risk is known – versus subjective risk – the “perception” of risk (usually unknown). . It’s relatively easy to assume objective risks because they are easier to mitigate. It’s more difficult to assume subjective risks.
We know the probability of heads on a coin flip is 50%. That is objective. Irrational or not, a gambler may perceive that a coin which has just come up heads three times is going to “come up” heads again. This may be the subjective risk. Many argue that better measures of objective risks would allow us to make better decisions when confronted with data
In general, there are too many variables to calculate most risks objectively. For this reason, we use “inductive reasoning” by recording a large number of observations under a given set of conditions. This is where some may say medical research comes in. It certainly does for clinical risk. But what about financial risk?
In a fee-for-service paradigm, which rewards patient volume and treatment intensity, the objective risk is low. The provider knows the costs involved and can set rates accordingly. Price-setting mitigates the risk that the reimbursement will be less than the cost of service. The subjective risk – a low volume of patients or procedures – is also low, in that the provider can increase the revenues by increasing services for existing patients.
In a bundled service model, payment is made for a single episode of care, and may involve multiple providers and facilities. Adjustments are often made according to the severity of the episode and according to comorbidities. Both the objective and subjective risks are greater than with a fee-for-service model, but those risks are shared among the payees.
The capitation model rewards low patient volume and less treatment by paying providers a fixed fee per patient enrolled in a plan or program. While age and gender are considered when calculating payments, comorbidities typically are not. Thus, providers have little objective risk (they have a predictable revenue stream that’s paid prior to services being rendered, mitigating risks associated with cash shortfalls or reimbursement denials) but much greater subjective risk, in that the costs of services can be much greater than the capitation payment.
Another way to think of the upside-down financial risk of capitation is to imagine a hurdle that represents costs. Clearing the hurdle means the physician makes a profit. In a fee-for-service model, the height of the hurdle lowers as the doctor sees more patients and performs more services. In a bundled payment model, the hurdle rises and falls depending upon whether or not a given episode of care goes smoothly. In a capitation model, the hurdle gets higher as the physician performs more services and sees more patients.
For bundled payment and capitation models, the key to lowering the hurdle or mitigating the risk is to have tight cost controls, meaning more impactful treatments. For the former, you want predictable or rising volumes. For the latter, you want smaller volumes.
Physicians negotiating bundled or capitation payments need to have a firm grasp of the costs associated with treating various diagnoses, as well as complication and readmission rates. Consideration must also be given to the adjustments hospitals may or will make to control costs, such as shorter stays and outpatient surgeries, that can increase or decrease complications and readmissions. Patient volume and population health are also considerations, as is the provider’s ability to effectively treat patients in a more cost-effective manner.
Overview of Other Risk Spectrums
As healthcare decisions become increasingly data-driven and physician payment models move from fee-for-service to bundled payments or outcome-based remuneration, physicians must learn to assess risk along other spectrums. Here are some examples.
Risk Management Roles
The very fact that organizations of every size need risk managers speaks to the new healthcare landscape. Hospitals and large practices likely have a dedicated risk manager (or risk management department), while a physician in a smaller practice may wear that hat. As it pertains to the insurance arena, risk management often requires staying abreast of changes in the professional liability field, documenting loss prevention measures, and exploring risk financing options. The risk manager role can also encompass responsibilities typically assigned to a compliance officer, such as licensing, ICD-10, and employee screening.
While a compliance officer – or a physician assuming that role – can support HIPAA compliance efforts, the regulation demands a strict control environment that requires substantial information technology expertise. Physicians must be aware of the security infrastructure needed, which includes hardware, documentation, and administration.
Human Resource Allocation
Given that physician payments are increasingly based on outcomes or rooted in bundled payments for episodic care, it’s critical to travel down the highest-quality, lowest-cost care pathways. This involves rethinking how resources are allocated, and specifically how individual skills are best utilized in each case. Physicians must overcome the fear of upsetting colleagues, an unease that can prevent the most qualified clinician from being assigned to a particular case. Creating the best outcomes demands clearheaded risk assessment and egoless decision-making.
Negotiating Your Bundle
Collegiality can be a liability when a physician negotiates his or her slice of a bundled payment. In the world of value-based care, an individual provider’s data becomes a bargaining chip in securing just compensation. Understanding the risks associated with bundled care and other types of compensation packages – and taking steps to mitigate those risks – can ensure rewards for stellar performance and a safety net for setbacks in patient outcomes.
Yet there are times when collective negotiation can produce greater benefits than going solo. Integrated healthcare systems offer a plethora of both risks and potential rewards. Just as a rising tide lifts all boats, aggregated data can demonstrate value and quality of care in ways that individual data cannot. Leveraging strong performers can yield strong results.
An increasing number of physicians are opting for salaried employment over independent practice. While the objective risks are typically lower with employment, there is a concomitant opportunity cost that can lead to a career marked by underperformance. As an employee, a doctor can largely focus on the practice of medicine and can enjoy a stable and predictable career. In an independent practice, a physician can potentially reap much greater financial rewards as well as implement his or her vision for healthcare delivery (within the constraints of the zeitgeist, of course).
Just as drivers in the months following 9/11 weren’t aware of the increasing toll of highway fatalities, physicians may not be aware of the risk of unintended consequences in delivering outcome-driven, cost-conscious care. In an effort to decrease risk to a practice’s outcomes, it may be tempting to cherry pick patients. If physicians or practices that have better outcomes are adept at managing risk by selecting patients at the lowest risk of complications or readmittance, it can have the unintended consequences of leaving the unhealthiest or highest risk patients with the least qualified providers.
Although those in the medical profession are steeped in the concept of risk as it pertains to morbidity and mortality, they are likely not much better than the average person in understanding, assessing, and mitigating the different axes of risk presented by the current topography of healthcare delivery. Stepping outside of the boundaries of risk traditionally associated with the practice of medicine creates a perspective that will serve clinicians well in the months and years to come. As we become better at utilizing data to predict outcomes for individuals and populations, we will be in a better position to estimate risk and appropriately price our services. We may also need to help create specialized insurance products to help bear the cost of catastrophic financial outcomes, much like we do the same for malpractice insurance!

Spiced by Billu’sWulugul Walk
Barangaroo, 3000 NSW
02 9046 0979
The newest outpost by Billu Singh, Spiced by Billu’s, will be bringing the authentic Indian food they’ve been serving Sydney for years to another location, Wulugul Walk at Barangaroo. Arguably some of the best Indian in town, Billu’s is seriously dialing up the spice-meter (and we’re pretty rapt about it). If you want a taste of ‘real’ Indian fare then Billu’s will become your go to. The menu features all of the regular favourites, like melt in your mouth buttery naan, classic curries, thalis and dosas. We’re not sure you can order the wrong thing here, TBH.
More details to come.

Recently, McDowell started working out at the Hype Recreation Center in Dearborn, Mich., to improve his athleticism, strength and agility with goal in mind when he finally reaches college.
"I want to start as a true freshman in college," he said.
At 6-foot-6, 280-pounds, McDowell certainly has the size to do it, and will only get more flexible and athletic, said HYPE athletic trainer, John Vickers.
"Malik is big. That's one thing, he's huge," Vickers said. "He's one of the biggest kids I have ever seen in my life. He moves really well for a kid being that big. Overall, we're really just going to try to increase his athleticism, make him jump higher, jump faster, really teach him how to run. And how to move properly and efficiently. Typically the best athletes are the most efficient athletes. It's all about efficiency, being more athletic, being able to jump higher, run faster, hit somebody harder."
Rated a four-star prospect and No. 4 defensive end in the latest Scout.com player rankings, McDowell is already being courted by some of the top schools in the country.
"Michigan came up (to my school), their defensive coordinator (Greg Mattsion) came," McDowell said. "Michigan State (coach Mark) Dantonio came, USC came down, Florida came down, and Ohio State, that was all last week … and Penn State."
How exactly did the conversation go with the Michigan coaching staff?
"We didn't talk much," McDowell said. "From what my coach told me, they told him is they want me down there real bad. Come up there just to spend the day watching a basketball game, that's pretty much it."
While McDowell has been to Ann Arbor for football games in the past, he has never had an opportunity to spend a full day on campus with the Michigan coaching staff.
"Nothing really in particular, just see the campus a little more," McDowell said regarding his next visit to Michigan. "We got up there a little late the last time I got up there. And there was lot of traffic, so I didn't get the full day of just being around the coaches and everything."
In the meantime, McDowell says he plans on attending the Michigan State basketball game when they host the Wolverines this Tuesday.
A really important factor in McDowell's recruitment is the relationships he builds with his college coaching staff, he said.
"It's very important," McDowell exclaimed. "I'm still going to have my coach to talk too. But I need somebody that can support me like five minutes away while I am on campus."
While McDowell's college suitors will most likely increase during the course of the next year, he says he's having a hard time trimming down his list of college's he wants to attend.
"No, I can't say that. I am starting to try to slim them down right now. But it's still kind of hard, ‘cause every coach is cool and everything like that," he said.
McDowell said there are only two factors he is looking at when he chooses a college program.
"Getting an education and winning, pretty much," he said.
As far as a decision timeline, McDowell said he will take his time over the next recruiting year.
"I am going to make a decision closer to signing day, probably at the Under Armour game or the Army game, whichever one I decide to go to," he said.

I accidentially stumbled on a television show that I absolutely LOVE. Its called Footballer's Wive$. It is on the BBC channel and I fancy it !!! It's like Desparate Housewives meets Sex and the City on cable (has a plot with a point and awesome scenery)
They had a marathon last sunday and I got to tape all the episodes in what i think is season 2. (what i think is) Season 3 started wednesday. They seem to be running season 2 also at midnight on saturday nights as well.. I noticed extra recordings on my tiv.o and they were the same episodes. If anyone is looking for good trash tv... I'm your woman (I should be ashamed of myself I know)
I also saw knocked up yesterday. This movie (although a touchy subject for myself, my husband, and everyone reading) was insanely hilarious. Some could veiw it as a little insensitive and insulting - But for the most part, there is FAR more funny involved. And at the end of the 2 hours, It was a movie which provided my alot of laughter on topic that has a tendency to be The White Elephant in any room I seem to be in lately.
I bought 2 books this weekend: Waiting for Daisy and A Few Good Eggs. I cant' wait to finish them. I started with Waiting for Daisy first.
It is CD31 - I guess i have to hold out 10 more day gauging on past cycles. They are about 36-45 days long the past couple months. I really thought metformi.n was supposed to regulate them... Maybe its ok for them to be 36-45 days apart !?!?

Both Hugh and Glen are wrong, and Miller is right. We are talking about the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee. It is healthy to oppose Arlen even if we lose. A Supreme Court appointment will produce more heated retoric than Bork. We don't need a recalcitrant Specter getting glowing profiles in Newsweek, Time and the NYTs. Bork was a leading constitutional scholar shamelessly distorted by the MSM and Specter piled on. Magnanimous appeals to 'moderates', 'bipartisan' talk doesn't seem appropriate. Second termers are vunerable 'lame-ducks' , even in less caustic times. Gentlemen, the distortions ahead will be worse than Bush=Hilter and you would have enabled it. Now is not the time to go wobbly.

01. Start with Food Forest Mastery
When I asked permaculture enthusiasts what they struggled with the most, I discovered that they wanted three things: a clear starting point with steps to follow, the confidence they would be able to avoid making mistakes that would cost them a lot of money, and the ability to influence their neighborhoods and social circles toward being more sustainable as well. With these top issues in mind, I developed a ten module course for creating a food forest using permaculture.

Currency group is getting ready to roll out their version of a Brightworks currency.
The Ninja Cats measured the time it takes to run one city block, and then compared that time to what it takes to ride a bike down one city block.
Flying Fish burrito!
The Undead Goats were visited by biking and cyclocross expert Murphy. He stayed the whole day to share his stories and knowledge about competitive biking and bike repair.
The Goats split into groups and each took a piece of a bike to deconstruct.
At the end of the day, they had an exploded vision of the complexities of a bicycle.
See you next week!

Regularly venturing outside my zone of comfort and familiarity is a stated and lived goal in my life – one I make sure to adhere to every day. It is with this intention in mind that I allowed myself to partake in the bar scene after enjoying a fine meal at a beautifully intimate restaurant in Harlem.
After dinner, we headed upstairs to the packed and happening bar with its sexy bartenders and pulsating house music that took me way back to tha days! My friends and I scanned the room in search of suitable chocolate honeys. My eyes fall upon a particular honey – one with the physical characteristics I instantly responded to on a very visceral (and yes, I admit, most basic) level. “Let’s walk over to him,” a friend suggests. A woman walking over to a man? Not my usual or preferred style. But, hey, this was about veering a little away from my pattern, doing what is different and uncomfortable. So be it…
We walked over to the honey. Turns out he is celebrating a friend’s birthday. Honey shows no interest in me, showering attention on my friend. All good because, up close and in the light, honey was less appetizing to me – that base chakra of mine cooled down significantly and quickly!
With honey focused on my friend, his boy (the one celebrating a birthday) took it upon himself to entertain. He shared that he is now 55 years old.
“And how old are you?” he asked.
“Forty-six,” I responded.
“No?!” he gasped, genuinely stunned, “you can’t be!”
O—-kay, what the hell is this about, I thought to myself, knowing instinctively that this scene was only going downward from this point – and it did, fast!
In an attempt to keep matters light while I plot an exit plan, I said in jest “How do I know that you are really 55 years old?”
I expected (hoped) he’d flash a driver’s license or provide a response that would serve as fodder for a bit of fun repartee. No such luck.
“If you bend over,” he whispered in my ear, his fingers stroking the base of my spine, “I will prove it to you!”
Oh yes, he did go there. I kid you not!
Another friend, thoroughly disgusted, immediately walked away. I, with prosecco splashing about in my head, calmly smiled, recalling the lyrics to a favored song by Lauryn Hill: “…forgive them Father for they know not what they do…”
Eventually, I politely excused myself. I had risked and played outside my lines. The expectation of reward in the form of conscious coupling (yes, it can happen at a bar) was not met.
Still, the longer I live, the more I appreciate the old saying that it is not about the destination so much as it is about the journey; a reminder to me to not allow the expectation to dictate my motivation – to do and to be simply to do and to be. In Buddhism, as I interpret it, this is about the practice of non-attachment.
As I write, I recall these powerful words from the Bhagavad Gita that continue to serve me on this often challenging life journey:
“You have the right to your actions but never to your actions’ fruits. Act for the action’s sake. And do not be attached to inaction. Self-possessed, resolute, act without any thoughts of results, open to success or failure.”
These words take me to another powerful work, the Tao Te Ching, which humbly offers the following: “Do your work, then step back. The only Path to serenity.”
I did my work, and now I step back. One day, soon, I will choose to do the work (play at a fabulous bar) yet again. Regardless of the results, I will step back and then compose Act Two. And so it goes….

Cory Miller, of iThemes and WebDesign.com, and his team have launched a new site called WPShirts. And, as the title might suggest, WPShirts provides WordPress shirts. For free.
The first shirt being given away, “Ask Me About WordPress”, will be given to a select few of the people who retweet their toot and let them know in the comments on their blog. I did, and you probably should too. Who doesn’t want another WordPress t-shirt?
WPShirts is one of the only places to grab WordPress shirts right now, since the official WordPress store hasn’t reopened yet.

A splintered Pennsylvania Supreme Court has spoken on the issue of Fracking in William Penn’s Commonwealth, Robinson Township v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Mr. Justice Castille, a Republican, announced the judgment of the Court in which he was joined by three other justices with respect to most of the Chief’s views. He also delivered an opinion on two aspects of the fracking law in which he commanded a minority.
Act 13 amended Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Act. The Court characterized the law as effectuating “sweeping” legislation affecting Pennsylvania’s environment and in particular the exploitation and recovery of natural gas in the geological formation known as the Marcellus Shale.
Section 27 of the Declaration of Rights in the Pennsylvania Constitution states that the people of the Commonwealth shall have the right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania’s public natural resources “are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come.” The Commonwealth was appointed as trustee of these resources to “conserve and maintain” them for the benefit of all the people.
The opinion represents a marvelous explanation of the nature of the Marcellus Shale formation, how drilling is done, and the scope of the amendments to the Oil and Gas Act.
Justice Castille, casting off any pretest of shyness, noted that Act 13 introduced heavy-duty industrial uses, natural gas development and processing, including permission to store waste water, into all existing zoning districts as a right including residential, agricultural, and commercial. “…[a]t its core, this dispute centers upon an asserted vindication of citizens’ rights to quality of life on their properties and in their hometowns, insofar as Act 13 threatens degradation of air and water, and of natural, scenic, and esthetic values of the environment, with attendant effects on health, safety and the owners’ continued enjoyment of their private property.” At slip opinion p. 57. This, wrote the Chief Justice, implicates the Environmental Rights Amendment, Article IA, Section 27.
Pennsylvania’s Environmental Rights Amendment has no counterpart on the federal level. Pennsylvania has been a leader in environmental protection and preservation of Commonwealth lands for future generations. The Court utilized the dispute over Act 13 to undertake a necessary explication of the Environmental Rights Amendment, including foundational matters. In other words, what does the Environmental Rights Amendment really mean and how far does it go? Justice Castille wrote his legacy with an answer to the question which he so aptly raised. “The environmental public trust was created by the people of Pennsylvania, as the common owners of the Commonwealth’s public natural resources; this concept is consistent with the ratification process of the constitutional amendment delineating the terms of the trust.” At slip opinion p. 83. The Commonwealth is a fiduciary which has a duty to act toward the corpus of the trust, the public natural resources, with “prudence, loyalty, and impartiality.” At slip opinion p. 84.
The Commonwealth has an obligation to refrain from performing its trustee duties respecting the environment unreasonably, including legislative enactments or executive action. The Commonwealth has a duty to refrain from permitting or encouraging the degradation, diminution, or depletion of public natural resources, whether such degradation, diminution or depletion would occur through direct state action or indirectly. Indirect depletion, diminution or degradation would be caused by the state’s failure to restrain the actions of private parties. Id.
The Court explained why the Pennsylvania Constitution places citizens’ environmental rights on par with political rights. Three and a half centuries ago forests blanketed ninety percent of the Commonwealth’s surface of over twenty million acres. Two centuries later, the state experienced a lumber boom that by 1920 had left much of Pennsylvania naked to vegetation by trees. Loggers scarred the land and left it desolate. This devastation was the subject of rage which was manifested in the Pennsylvania Constitution. “Never again,” said the people of Pennsylvania.
The sweeping scope of this opinion is the statement that the likes of Teddy Roosevelt would have admired. Justice Castille has enshrined himself forever in the Hall of Fame occupied by our nation’s most important environmental protectors.
The Court proceeded to examine the law chapter by chapter and section. Local government, noted the Court, would be required under Act 13 to authorize oil and gas operations, impoundment areas, and location assessment operations (including seismic testing and the use of explosives) as permitted uses in all zoning districts throughout a locality. Local government would be required to authorize natural gas compressor stations as permitted uses in agricultural and industrial districts, and as conditional uses in all other zoning districts. Local governments were commanded to authorize natural gas processing plants as permitted uses in industrial districts and as conditional uses in agricultural districts. The authority of local governments in connection with virtually any component of Marcellus Shale drilling was denuded by Act 13 in an unconscionable rush to exploit the subterranean environment. As the Court noted, “local government zoning role is reduced to pro forma accommodation…” At slip opinion p. 111.
The Chief Justice wrote that Pennsylvania has a “notable history of what appears retrospectively to have been a shortsighted exploitation of its bounteous environment, affecting its minerals, its water, its air, its flora and fauna, and its people.” At slip opinion 117. This Court, led by its chief, is not about to let that happen again, not on their watch and not on their sacred land. The Court verbally explored the scars on the land as a result of unregulated and uncaring destruction of one of the greatest land grants in history.
In a manner, this opinion is a conservative piece of art. Local governments, it was reinforced, have the power to frame local ordinances they see fit within the limitations of their delegated powers. A political branch of government hungry for corporate oil and gas donations cannot override the legitimate place of grass roots government.The entire Act was not, of course, found invalid. What was declared improper is a statutory scheme hatched by the Governor and devoured by many legislators which would have permitted and even encouraged gas development with no rules and no restrictions regardless of the harm which that exploitation might cause.
Courts do not have armies, navies or air forces to enforce their rulings. Courts speak effectively only when they have moral authority behind them based upon an honest articulation of the law. Reading the opinion in Robinson Township v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania should make any citizen proud of the viability of our Pennsylvania Supreme Court. May our Justices continue to serve in good health, peace and contentment throughout 2014 and beyond.

Hi! I had gynecomastia surgery/liposuction on my chest area 2 weeks ago. My doctor told me that i had no glandular tissue and gland excision was not needed. However, 2weeks post-op my upper chest looks quite good but my middle chest(areola area) has started to pop out. The chest looked quite good right after surgery but i am not satisfied with the sculpture i have at the time. So could this be swelling or is it just wrong tequinique used? And can i expect better results in the upcoming weeks?
Gynecomastia Liposuction Results, Unhappy; Should I Wait Longer For Final Results?
Doctor Answers 5
Areolar Protrusion After Gynecomastia Liposuction Surgery
At just two weeks after surgery, it is way too early to pass final judgment about the final shape of your chest. You need to wait a full three months before you can make your final critique. Because there was no open glandular excision, the early appearance of areolar protrusion suggests that this may ultimately be needed. But any revision should not be done before three months after surgery.
Too Soon to Judge your results?
Thank you for your question.
At 2 weeks post op surgery, you cannot know what the final results will be so you should really wait (at least 4-6 months) until the swelling has decreased before deciding if revisionary surgery is necessary.
At two weeks it is way too early to tell if your result is satisfactory to you. There will be a lot of swelling that may last several months.

Give yourself about half to an hour after landing to clear singapore immigration at the airport. From airport to Woodlands will take about an hour but bearing in mind that the Woodlands checkpoint to Johore custom may take about one to two hours depends on the traffic conditions. May be worse on weekend or public holidays. From Johore custom to grand paragon will take about 10 to 15 mins overall time taken is between 3 to 4 hours depending on the traffic condition. Hope this helps.

As I drove to church one Sunday morning, I saw a billboard for a church program. The bold headline was ‘That witch must die’! I gritted my teeth, my fingernails almost digging into the steering wheel as I tightened my grip. I was terribly upset. I did a quick mental scan, wondering where in the teachings of Jesus and His apostles we could find a precedent for this? How did we descend so low? How did the people of the light lose their focus and get involved in daylight witchcraft? I had thought witches and witchcraft were usually associated with nocturnal activities. More seriously, I wondered why some in the church had decided to exchange their glory for the base life. This appeared to be the other gospel Paul was referring to. He marvelled that people were turning from the grace of God to some other gospel which was different from the one they had received. (Gal 1:6-10)
We have a received a gospel that tells the good news that Christ has defeated the enemy and raised us to sit with Him in heavenly places far above all other powers including those attributed to witches. So now, our focus should not be on killing witches in the villages or the cities. On the contrary, what we need is an experiential knowledge of the victory Jesus has given us in Him.
Do you know you are seated in heavenly places far above principalities and powers? Do you know that God can prepare a table before you and give you the victory while the witches are still breathing? Do you know that Jesus came to give life to all who would receive Him including witches? The church was not sent to kill witches but to preach the good news and the full gospel.
Sadly, we have an unfortunate situation on our hands. Rather than stimulating an atmosphere of love, some are busy stoking the flames of hated, selfishness and ungodly suspicion in the body. Or what would you say about this? Two people who are children of the stock of Abraham and who were previously friends, praying to God for the death of each other’s enemy. Which of them will God kill?
Our more important business is to bring the order and domain of the kingdom of heaven to earth. The order of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. An order that demonstrates the realities of victory over sin, sickness and death. An order that lights up the world with the love of Christ and the favour of God. Church leaders must redirect the body of Christ to its mission on earth. Rather than instil fear, they must build faith. Rather than dignify the law, they should amplify the message of God’s grace.
Christians must discern the body. They must search the scriptures themselves to be sure the things they are told and sold are true. I must say, that we have become quite a lazy and powerless bunch, almost losing our godly influence in our communities. We must continually emphasize the finished work of Christ. We must seek to understand the victory Jesus has already procured. We should pray that the eyes of our understanding are open so that we may know the extravagance of the work He has done for us and the immensity of the glory He has given us.
Christians who know their place would fear no witch. They know their lives are hid with Christ in God!

1 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.

“Find your Calcutta.” ~Mother Teresa
Something is missing in your life, isn’t it?
You’re working hard, trying to get ahead, doing everything you possibly can to make life just a little bit better. You’re trying to keep it all balanced, though. You won’t be one of those people who commits every waking second to work and the pursuit of career.
Not you. You’ve got it figured out. You even make time to exercise, eat right, meditate, or maybe spend time with friends and family.
You’ve got it all figured out—except for that one stupid thing that keeps tugging at your heart. You don’t really know what it is, but it is there, and it is driving you a little crazy.
Yeah, I know. I get that feeling sometimes too.
It is often mistaken as unhappiness, fatigue, depression, or being stuck in a rut. Many people will go off and do wild vacations or try things they would never try in a million years just to see if those activities settle the strange, inexplicable emptiness they feel inside.
When they return to the real world, though, the problem is still there, still nagging at them.
Maybe they think they didn’t go “extreme” enough, and will push themselves harder. Or maybe they take it in a totally different direction and put more time into meditation, or even trying to manifest happiness in their lives.
Or do you have it under control? I’m guessing since you’re still reading, you don’t. It’s okay. Neither do I.
In fact, neither do most people.
So, what is this mysterious thing that is pulling at you, leaving you feeling empty and unfulfilled in a life that would, from the outside, seem all but amazing? It’s the pursuit of happiness.
Before you click away from the page, thinking that this is another article about how when you stop pursuing things, that is when they come to you, don’t.
It’s not about that at all.
We are constantly presented with things that we believe will make us happy. New cars, flashier televisions, prettier women or men, houses, furniture, more money, exotic vacations, and a myriad of things that go along with that stuff.
We are pounded by books, blogs, and billboards about how we can get everything we want in life, and live happier, better, and wealthier.
The simple truth is, we are so focused on getting what we want that we forget about everyone else in the world around us. And therein lies the key to that empty feeling inside.
Right now, there are people who are hungry. And not just in Africa or India. They might be within a square mile of you. There are kids who don’t have a decent place to sleep.
Let me tell you a quick story.
Recently, a friend of mine (a former high school teacher) passed away. He had been fighting leukemia and eventually cancer for a long time. He was 74 years old.
When I met him, I thought he was one of the most energetic people I’d ever come across. Of course, I was only 16 at the time. His Italian ancestry only added to the natural charisma he displayed on a daily basis.
This teacher started a program at my high school called Project 5000. It was an initiative aimed at collecting five thousand canned goods to distribute to needy families in our area. I can still remember seeing the boxes of food under the auditorium stage.
Not only did our little school of 300 kids collect five thousand cans, we collected far more. And every single year, the number grew, surpassing multiple tens of thousands every year.
Because of his efforts, many needy families got to have a few good meals around Thanksgiving, even if it was just a few.
My friend also helped out at a place called the Chambliss home, a transitional facility for kids similar to an orphanage. He organized a Christmas program there every year so that, at least for a night, those kids could actually be kids.
Why am I telling you about this?
Because this teacher always had a smile on his face. He always had tons of energy. And because of one very important thing he told me in relation to the problem I discussed earlier.
He said that if you live your life providing a service to others, you will have the most fulfilling life possible.
And there it is. We’ve been so focused on getting what we want in this world that we forget that there are people who have desperate needs. You don’t have to look far to find them either.
They could be right up the street, in a local school, a homeless shelter, a nursing home, or any number of places.
At the moment, I work in a school that has a student body that is 100 percent on free and reduced lunch. Basically, that means it is a school of kids from low-income homes. I work there as a school counselor and as the boys’ soccer coach.
My commute sucks, nearly an hour each way. The hours suck (since my best energy times are not waking up at 5:30 and working until 5:00 in the afternoon).
When my friends ask me why I don’t quit or find a job closer to home at a better school, I explain to them that it is my Calcutta. While, sometimes the work is not stimulating, and the kids can be a little rough around the edges, it is a place where there is a great need.
Ever since I started looking at it that way, I have been a lot happier in the rest of my life. I am more fulfilled because I know that I am providing a service to people in need, and not just living for myself.
When I get home I have more energy, a happier demeanor, and I feel like I have done something good.
The bottom line is, helping others energizes you and fills you with good feelings.
Where can you find your Calcutta? It could be as simple as donating a piece of furniture to a needy family. Or you could give a few hours a month at the local soup kitchen. Are you an expert at something that could help solve a problem for people? Find a way to do that on a semi-regular basis. It can literally be almost anything.
The point is that you serve someone. And by serving others, you will begin to notice that strange, empty feeling begin to dissipate until one day, you find yourself smiling all the time.

How can I prevent my crazy jealousy from ruining my relationship?
First, forgive yourself for experiencing a natural emotional response to the threat of losing someone you love. Even partners in nonmonogamous relationships grapple with the nauseating dread of envisioning their lover tied spread-eagle to a four-poster bed while someone else licks Nutella off their genitals. Unfortunately, you can’t control when feelings of jealousy creep up in a relationship — you can only control how you act on them.
Before you start pinning the blame on your partner, take a long hard look at yourself, like you’re sitting on one of those hotel toilets where the mirror’s directly in front of you and perfectly positioned to watch what your face looks like while you poop. You’ll want to acknowledge the underlying issues within yourself that elicit jealousy, like anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, or insecurities stemming from infidelity in a past relationship. You don’t want to let your jealousy display itself in self-sabotaging behaviors like possessiveness and dependence, which are not conducive to a healthy relationship and quickly become exhausting for your partner. Finally, be honest with your partner in a non-accusatory way and work together to establish ground rules about behaviors that make you both feel comfortable, trustful, and bonded together as strongly as 2 dicks in a Chinese finger trap.

PANIE, TY WIESZ... por J 21,17; Ap 7,14
About Sister Urszula
The Singer & Author of the Lyrics
“Sister Urszula is the author of the music, as well as the lyrics to the songs recorded on the polish album “Panie, Ty wiesz…”. Being a preschool teacher by education, sister Urszula is dedicated to her work with children. Although she has never received proper musical training, she is very talented and does not shy away from sharing her gift with the children by playing and singing with them. Through her work, sister Urszula hopes to instill in the children the love of music which provides a wonderful opportunity to build a close relation with God.
However, it was sister Urszula’s private prayers, contemplation, and the times spent in solitude which led her to create the lyrics appearing on the CD. The lyrics are so unique, yet so simple that they infinitely tap into the depths of the human soul. They teach us how to find ourselves in God’s creation. The key to understanding sister Urszula’s work is the single word SIMPLICITY, as it is precisely the simplicity of the lyrics that makes them so universal.
After all, each song tells a separate story, but none of them are reduced to a single, rigid interpretation. Thanks to this, every single listener can relate to the songs on a personal level, and reflect on their own existence through these recorded prayers. We refer to the songs as such because that is essentially what sister Urszula’s words are – they are musical prayers.
Sister Urszula’s texts are an embodiment of God’s love for men and men’s love for God and a loving Father. Being a servant sister, Urszula also writes to the one she is of service to – Immaculate Virgin Mary.
Sister Urszula’s songs have moved so many hearts, that her close friends wished to share the gift of her music with the world! God gave his blessing, smiled at the idea, and granted sister Urszula a green light, saying that it would be worth it…
Panie, Ty wiesz…
The Album is a collection of 13 beautiful polish soundtracks.

Over two years ago the project began…
A great contribution to the project was made by the young musicians – mainly Anna and Bartek, but also Sławomir, Kamil i Łukasz.
The musicians were greatly involved in the project and gratuitously supported the recording process. Anna enriched the pieces with her vocals and the violin, and Bartek took care of all the rest – starting from providing the necessary equipment, organizing rehearsal meetings, as well as the most crucial part of the whole enterprise, which is the execution of the sound production. Bartek’s work focused predominantly on song arrangement, that is enriching each piece with a unique spirit, and ultimately implementing the instruments and vocals into the recording.
The goal was to perform the entire production process at the lowest cost possible. This is why the recordings took place in home conditions. Bartek provided the necessary equipment, and professional audio recording software to capture and process the audio. Thanks to this we can now enjoy a high-quality recording of the instruments and the vocals.
The story behind the recording of the CD is complex, and it is difficult to outline all the crucial moments which led to its creation. As in life, there have been ups and downs, the production was delayed due to the pandemic which made it impossible for the team to meet and continue working on the project. But ultimately, thanks to Divine Providence, the goal has been achieved, and now we are happy to promote sister Urszula’s CD and at the same time, praise our Lord!
Moreover, it bears mentioning, that the revenue from the sales will be primarily intended for building a stage and then a playground for The Little Servant Sisters preschool (where Sister Urszula serves). The remaining money will be used to support the sisters’ ministry both in Poland and the USA.

The revenue from the sales has been primarily intended for building a stage that now requires some finishing work and then paying off the remaining debt. Some of the money will also be devoted to building a playground for the preschool where sister Urszula works as an educator, and the remaining money will be used to support the sisters’ ministry both in Poland and the USA.

Personal Guardianship Services is very excited to announce that we will launch a volunteer guardian component to our agency in 2018.
We are looking for volunteers to become guardians of individuals. Many of our clients live in nursing homes or group homes and would really benefit from the special care a volunteer would bring to their lives.
PGS is recruiting for a volunteer training class to run in January or February 2018. Since PGS serves Hamilton, Warren, Clermont, Butler, Montgomery, and Greene County, we are bound to have a volunteer opportunity near your home or work. With the exception of the initial court hearing to name you as the guardian, your volunteer time may be scheduled at any time that is convenient to you, including, morning, evening, or weekends.
Do you have an extra hour or two each month to spend visiting a senior or someone with a disability who could really use a friend? If so, please use the link below to complete our application or, for further information, call Wanda or Mitzi at 513-821-5500.

“I still had forty long minutes with Miss Ice and Mister Fire Hands . . . Between the two of them I felt like fried ice cream.”
You want to learn how to write a good metaphor? Read Reflections by Jessica Roberts.
It tells the story of Heather, a methodical and untrusting young woman who is heading off to college.
When a jarring event puts her in a very vulnerable position, she has to learn how to break down her walls and trust.
The writing was poetry.
When Heather is heading to her first class of the day, the college hallway is described as a “fishbowl.” In my mind Heather is instantly morphed into a startled gold fish, unnerved by “the multitude on the outside of the glass.”
Not only did Roberts make good use of literary devices (this author used patterns ladies and gents), she also created strong tension between the character and her environment.
Goodness! Roberts knows how to use words to heighten the mood. Such actions as Heather having her arm touched becomes just as intense as a damsel being chased by thieves.
One of the problems I had with this novel is I disliked the third person to first person POV switches. Because Heather’s voice was not so different from the narrator’s, I saw no need for them. The writing was strong enough for me to overlook the switches.
Problems I struggled to ignore were the slow pacing and the length of the chapters. A lot of the repetitive descriptions in the chapters could be cut out, making the novel perfect.
Even though Roberts did a very good job painting a realistic hospital environment, I could not get over Heather’s college experience. It seemed so high school to me.
To give Roberts some credit, I went to a university that took up a fourth of an entire town, making my college experience very different from Heather’s.
I give Reflections 3 stars. Readers ages 9 to 13 will thoroughly enjoy this book. Go ahead Miss. Roberts! You’re on your way to defining a generation.
“His voice pressed into my ear like a meteor trenching into the earth’s floor, sheathing my ear-way with deep, heat, hotter than his touch.”

The Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner (OPCC) released a report Wednesday that ruled the three Mounties used reasonable force when they killed Alvin Wright in his Langley home in August 2010.
The officers said Alvin confronted them with a hunting knife and hatchet, and he was shot after he stepped toward an officer with the knife raised.
But Alvin’s father can’t believe that account.
“I think the (OPCC) should be called the office of police protection instead,” Allan Wright said Thursday.
“My son has no criminal record and no history of behaviour like that,” he added. “This is one night where he decides to do that and they justify killing him for that. It just doesn’t make any sense.”
He admits that his son had been drinking and had fought with his common-law wife, but says Alvin was asleep in his room when police entered his son’s house.
“There were no crimes to investigate,” he said. “The police had no reason to believe anyone was in danger.”
The Mounties turned a “peaceful and controlled scene” into a deadly shooting, he alleged.
“Nothing about this makes any sense until you realize, as I do now, that the job of the Police Complaint Commissioner is to protect the police,” he said.
He hopes the “truth” will come out next week during a Coroner’s Inquest into his son’s death.
Wright’s widow has also launched a civil suit against the RCMP for wrongful death.

U.S. House voted in July to cut off funding for SPP transportation issue talks
A CANADIAN NEWSPAPER, THE OTTAWA CITIZEN, APPEARS TO REPORT MORE ON WHAT THE U.S. CONGRESS IS DOING VIS-A-VIS THE SPP THAN MOST OF THE DOMINANT, DINSOSAUR, CFR-CONTROLLED AMERICAN MEDIA !

U.S. Congress blocks key transport initiative
Warns trilateral plan would open borders to 'alien invaders'
Kelly Patterson, The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Monday, July 30, 2007
Just weeks before the Canadian, U.S. and Mexican leaders meet in Montebello, Que., to discuss the Security and Prosperity Partnership, U.S. legislators moved to block a key part of the trilateral trade initiative.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly last week to cut off funding for talks on all transportation issues related to the SPP, a controversial effort to harmonize the countries' economic and security protocols.
Legislators are concerned that crucial decisions affecting cross-border security, immigration and product safety are being made without congressional consultation.
"The (Bush) administration refuses to report back to Congress," Democrat Marcy Kaptur told the House. "They have been intransigent, they have been unresponsive and, frankly, they've been secretive."
But Republican Congressman Joe Knollenberg warned that cutting SPP funding would "put all of the U.S.-Canada transportation initiatives to an end," including years of improvements to the critical Detroit-Windsor border crossing.
Representatives voted 362-63 in favour of the budget amendment, put forward jointly by Ms. Kaptur and Republican Duncan Hunter. The amendment will now go to the U.S. Senate for debate.
NDP MP Peter Julian warns that similar debates are arising north of the border.
"This is a real wake-up call for (Prime Minister) Stephen Harper," he said. "The SPP is an unacceptable, closed-door process. ... There is a need for a real public consultation."
Transportation talks have become a hot-button issue in the U.S., where critics fear secret negotiations are aimed at building a "NAFTA Superhighway" linking the three nations.
Many on the extreme right fear such a highway would spell the end of the U.S., as "alien invaders" swarm across the border from Mexico. But moderates have also expressed concerns such a transport corridor would overwhelm customs and immigration staff.
In a statement this week, Ms. Kaptur said the 12-lane highway "is already under construction in Texas." The network would divert incoming Asian goods from bustling California ports to Mexican ports, jeopardizing American jobs, she warned. It would also fast-track overseas products into the U.S. "without adequate safety provisions and inspection," she charges.
While some private ventures and state governments have described ongoing projects as "NAFTA Corridors," the federal government is not involved, according to the U.S. government website on the SPP.
"The NAFTA Superhighway simply does not exist," says Frank Conde of North America's SuperCorridor Coalition (NASCO), a U.S.-based non-profit group that aims to improve an already existing network of highways that link the three countries.
But Ms. Kaptur and other critics dismiss that argument as semantics, arguing that ongoing plans for the rapid expansion of many parts of that network amount to a superhighway.
One NASCO member, Kansas Southern Railway, also sits on the North American Competitiveness Council, an elite group of corporations formed to advise the three governments on the SPP.
Mr. Conde says the railroad, which operates in the U.S. and Mexico, does not share information on the SPP with NASCO. (Railroad officials were not available for comment at press time).
He adds that some SPP initiatives have made the border crossings safer. He points to the little-known e-manifest program, under which transport firms submit detailed information about their cargo, drivers and routes to a government database before approaching the border.
Cargoes or companies that may pose a risk are flagged in the system, so officials can zero in on trucks or drivers that may pose a risk; low-risk vehicles can pass through quickly.

Activision has told Eurogamer that Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings will be released for DS, PS2, PSP and Wii on 12th June.
The date follows the bizarre revelation that Han Solo will be a playable character in the game.
He'll be able to use his laser pistol, according to a StarWars.com trailer, but otherwise acts more-or-less the same as Indiana Jones: pouty one-liners, rugged good looks, stick insect girlfriends and so on and so forth.
We're not sure whether Han is the the secret co-op character LucasArts teased back at the game's unveiling in February, incidentally.
Of the SKUS, the Wii version provides the most interest, with motion-sensing whip and punching controls, and gesture-based escape sequences. There's multiplayer, too.
Head over to the Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings gamepage to find out more.

Note 10 to Chapter 2 of the author's Tennyson's Major Poems, which Yale University Press published in 1975. It has been included in the Victorian Web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.
Tennyson later came to believe that this description was "too ghastly realistic" and softened it to "The bright death quivered at the victim's throat." See Ricks's note, p. 446.

Canadian Auto Sales on Track for Strong Year-BMO Economics
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 2, 2012) - An increase in Canadian auto sales in July has the industry on track for its best performance in five years, according to BMO Economics.
Canadian auto and light truck sales increased 4.7 per cent year-over-year in July, lifting the gain for 2012 to 6.7 per cent year-over-year. To date, 1.01 million units have been sold. The annual record of 1.73 million was set in 2002.
"Every month this year, except April, sales have been higher than a year ago. While most other areas of consumer credit have slowed, auto financing remains strong because of aggressive incentives by dealers. Steady job growth in Canada this year has also played a role," said Sal Guatieri, Senior Economist, BMO Capital Markets.
While Mr. Guatieri expects Canadian auto sales to slow in the year ahead as a result of elevated household debt, improving sales in the United States should support Canadian auto production and economic growth.
Robert Sadokierski, Head of Dealership Financing for BMO, expects auto manufacturers will continue to offer more incentives for consumers. "There is good news for prospective buyers as companies roll out redesigned models in the compact, mid-sized and luxury segments."
Recently, Oshawa-based General Motors of Canada Ltd. announced it will significantly increase spending on research and development over the next five years. Toyota's Canadian manufacturing arm also said it will invest more in its Cambridge, Ontario plant, with plans to hire 400 workers. The investment will increase the production of the company's Lexus RX models.

- Kitchen Cabinet Clutter – Organizing the mess under my counter – I remember this post and project really well and I have to say I'm very glad I organized my kitchen cabinets. If I were to take a photo of my cabinets today they are still as organized as they were the day I completed the project. Be sure to check out the project as it may help inspire you to clean our your kitchen cabinets.
- Organizing My Craft Room – Here's a great post from Lauren on how she organized her craft room. There are some really fun, creative tips here. I'd take just an ounce of her creativity and energy.

G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4-3200 16GB Review
The first DDR4 memory kit that we reviewed was a G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4-3000 model, and we praised its industry-leading clock speed and impressive overclocking capabilities. It was quite pricey, but it was unquestionably one of the very best enthusiast-oriented memory kits available at that time. The fact that you can now buy a DDR4-3200 kit for about the same price as what that kit cost back in September is a definite sign of improvement.
Speaking of price, this G.Skill F4-3200C16Q-16GRKD model is actually the most affordable DDR4-3200 memory kit on the market right now. At $430USD/$499CAD, “affordable” is probably the wrong word, it is in fact a lot of money for any memory kit, but those interested in this type of very high-end product aren’t necessarily all that price sensitive. You also have to keep in mind that G.SKill are including two Turbulence III memory coolers, which usually retail for about $18-20 dollars each. Personally, we would like to see a cheaper version of this kit sold without this accessories bundle, but we aren’t holding our breaths.
After reviewing a number of other DDR4 memory kits over the last few months our expectations have obviously grown considerably since that initial review. While this kit is without question the best Hynix MFR-based memory that we have tested so far, the overclocking difference between it and lower priced kits like the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2666 isn’t that large. Maybe we are getting too jaded by the impressive capabilities of Hynix-based kits, but above about DDR4-3100 15-15-15 the law of diminishing returns definitely starts applying and there doesn’t seem to be that much overclocking headroom available. Furthermore, if you don’t care about sky high clock speeds and are more concerned with tight timings, the Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR4-2666 kit is still remarkable. It might “only” max out at about DDR4-3000, but it’s low latency prowess is absolutely untouchable.
None of this necessarily diminishes this particular kit though. The G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4-3200 16GB memory is a specialized product. If you’re building a day-to-day or a gaming PC, then you don’t need memory like this. But if you’re building a system that you’re planning to tweak and play around with, some DDR4-3200 modules might be worth the investment in order to prevent any overclocking bottlenecks or just for good old bragging rights.

It’s estimated that over 15% of Americans experience Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL), a preventable form of hearing loss caused by exposure to loud noise. Unfortunately this form of hearing loss is irreversible, but custom hearing protection can prevent it from starting in the first place. These custom-fit earmolds are also excellent for keeping the ear canal dry and healthy for all underwater activities.
If you’re frequently exposed to loud sounds, custom hearing protection is invaluable for preserving your ability to hear well. The following noises are especially dangerous with repeat exposure: lawn mowers, truck engines, motorcycles, garbage trucks, chain saws, power tools, rock concerts, gunshots, and jet engines, to name a few. While store-bought ear plugs do offer a small degree of noise–dampening, custom earmolds and ear plugs provide significantly more hearing protection by fitting into your ear canal perfectly.
At American Hearing Aid Service we know how hard hearing loss can be. It’s why we’re strong advocates for preventing hearing loss from happening at all. We offer a full array of custom hearing protection to provide you with maximum protection and all-day comfort. These are ideal for:
- Air traffic controllers
- Musicians (Musician In-ear Monitors or IEMs)
- Concert fans
- Industrial & Construction personnel
- Sleep plug users
- Law Enforcement

We will now use another technique, based on the one used in the game Doom 3. This technique uses two particularities of the
DXT5 compression format.
The first particularity is that the alpha canal is compressed except for the three others red, green and bleu. This means that
the value contained in the alpha canal is not changed too much during the compression.
The second particularity is that the 3 canals RGB (Red Green Blue) are stocked on 16 bits in the following
format: 5_6_5, that is to say 5 bits for the red canal, 6 bits for the green one and finally 5 bits for the blue one.
The result is that the green canal is more precise than the other two.
But how will we exploit these 2 particularities? By simply using the base relation of a normal vector:
z = sqrt( 1 - x*x + y*y );
This very simple mathematical relation simply shows us that the knowledge of the X and Y coordinates of the normal vector
permits us to calculate the third coordinate Z. More simply, the normal-map only needs the X and Y coordinates. Each texel
of our normal-map contains the RGB triplet. The red canal represents the X coordinate, the green canal the Y coordinate and the blue
canal the Z coordinate. The first particularity will be exploited and the red canal will be stocked in the fourth canal, the
alpha canal. The second particularity will be exploited in the calculation of Z by using the value contained in the green
canal (Y) in the relation seen just before. The calculation of the normal vector is given in the following piece of code:
bump.xy = (texture2D(normalMap, uv).ag * 2.0) - 1.0;
bump.z = sqrt(1.0 - dot(bump.xy, bump.xy));
This small piece of code shows a quite practical functionality of the GLSL (and available in the other languages like Cg or
the HLSL of Direct3D): the swizzling. The swizzle operator allows us to rearrange the components of a vector as we wish.
In our case, we transfer the component a in x while the component g remains in y...
The DXTViewer tool will reveal itself as being essential here as it will permit us
to create a DXT5 type compressed normal-map with the red canal injected into the alpha canal. To do so, it is simply necessary
to load an uncompressed normal-map with 'RGBA Byte Texel' and 'Inject Red Channel into Alpha Channel' selected:
Fig. 7 - DXTViewer: Swizzled DXT5 normal map creation
The only thing we have to do after is to save the normal map in O3TC (or DDS, as you want!) format specifying DXT5 compression:
Fig. 8 - DXTViewer: DXT5 saving
This technique is somewhat similar to the one used with the ATI 3Dc format, technique that we will show after.
The result of this modification (available in the bump_map_compressed_swizzled_dxt5.xml file) is visible in picture 9:
Fig. 9 - Compressed bump map (DXT5) with the generation of the Z coordinate
The specular reflections are now correct and the result is globally satisfactory. But we can do better as we are going to see!

Alaskans Cheer and Jeer Their Home Town Guv
By Matthew Mosk
ANCHORAGE -- There were a lot of zingers and winning lines in the vice presidential debate, but home town Gov. Sarah Palin's best moment may have come with her "shout out" to the children of Gladys Hill Elementary School.
"That's cool," said one woman, who had written "Barack" in large black letters on her forearm. "I like that."
The crowd of 400 Alaskans at the Bear Tooth Theater Grill, a dinner theater here that broadcast tonight's vice presidential debate on a movie screen, cheered and jeered for 90 minutes. The debate didn't change many minds, accept among a handful of Democrats who said they were expecting Palin to fall on her face.
"I was expecting Tina Fey," Democrat Frank Bonfield, 50, an oil pipeline worker, said, referring to the "Saturday Night Live" comedienne whose biting spoof of Palin has become a sensation.
But Bonfield's favorable review ended there. He did not think she won over any Democrats. Instead, he thought Sen. Joe Biden's performance might play well with his father-in-law, a Republican. "What stood out was the contrast," he said. "He was solid. No B.S."
The crowd at the theater appeared to lean heavily towards Biden. There was a roar when Biden said, "I call that the ultimate bridge to nowhere," and laughter when he referenced the Bush Doctrine. Joy Biedermann, 37, a Republican, said the audience did not reflect the political landscape in Alaska, where Palin has maintained very high popularity numbers.
She thought the majority of Alaskans would see Palin as a victor, no matter what the outcome of the election.
"I think America got to see why we love our governor," Biedermann said. "She's positive, not doom and gloom."

Create a custom keymap.xml in ...\profile\userdata\keymaps\ with the following in it...
<F8>Notification(Testing 123,Hello world)</F8>
F5 is very handy for refeshing the skin to see changes without having to restart xbmc. Be aware however that on some rare occasions refreshing doesn't show changes. I've been cought out by that once or twice!
Main xml's (what i call base xml's) that sort of sit as a base to everything else are...
Start with a skin like Foundation. Open up Includes.xml and Home.xml. Then start editing/adding to Home.xml. It's the first screen you see so a sensible starting point.
Try removing some parts and deconstruct Foundations home page. Then start adding small sections of your own design. As you go on, hopefully you'll pick up more and more understanding of how the skinning works.
An important point to keep in mind... watch the formating of the xml's. Becareful not to lose important characters like < > / and phrases like </control>, etc. If any are missing from the formating you'll most likely get a black screen!
Hope that helps!

Vail officials working on plans to prevent, or recover from, wildfires
By the numbers
2: Local wildfires in the past two weeks.
5: Of Colorado’s 20 largest wildfires occurred in 2018.
74: Days the wildfire season in Colorado has extended since 1970.
13,000: Acres burned in the Lake Christine fire near Basalt.
EAGLE COUNTY — With all of the recent snowfall, it might be easy to forget that after a dry spring and summer, we’ve had a very dry fall. That’s going to continue until there’s more snow cover on the valley floor.
Firefighters have had to put out a pair of small wildfires in the past couple of weeks, one in East Vail due to a downed power line and one sparked by a dump truck with mechanical problems along Interstate 70 between Edwards and Wolcott. Both fires were quickly extinguished.
Vail Fire Chief Mark Novak on Tuesday, Nov. 20, provided the Vail Town Council with an update about the extended fire season, and what planning the department is doing in case a large fire hits the town.
There really isn’t a “fire season” any more, Novak said, adding that the new term is “fire year.”
The fire season throughout Colorado is now 74 days longer than it was in 1970, Novak said, adding that the nature of wildfires has also changed in the past 50 years. In the 1960s, fires were classified as “large” if they consumed between 1,000 and 4,000 acres. Anything of 100,000 acres or more was classified as a “mega-fire.”
In 2018, there were multiple fires that size in Colorado alone, Novak said. Five of the state’s 20 largest wildfires occurred this year.
More fires, more impacts
Those fires are also having greater impacts on the human-built environment.
Those are things town officials need to think about when planning for fires and their after-effects.
“What would we do without 200 homes?” Novak said.
With the effects on both the human and natural environments in mind, Vail fire officials are working on plans that reflect national recommendations. The top three parts of those recommendations include helping create fire-resilient landscapes, fire-adapted communities and ways to provide safe, effective responses to fires.
Prevention is a crucial part of that strategy, Novak said. For at least the first two hours of a serious wildfire, Novak said that, at most, 10 fire trucks could respond. That includes crews from around the valley. It would be tough to protect an entire neighborhood with just that much manpower, Novak said.
Looking to the future, a fire plan could include requirements for fire-resistant construction and landscaping, phased in over time.
Vail wildland fire specialist Paul Cada told the council the town follows the guidelines of a 2003 wildfire plan. But, Cada said, that plan doesn’t address Vail’s specific needs.
Planning is taking place now, and a draft of a comprehensive plan should be delivered to the Town Council in the spring of 2019.
“We’ve received some really good input (from residents),” Cada said. That will be incorporated into the coming plan, he added.
Even without a Vail-specific plan, residents can do a lot to help lessen wildfire’s dangers to their homes.
In a phone interview after the meeting, Tracy LeClair, the community risk manager for the Avon-based Eagle River Fire Protection District said fire mitigation is important, even as the seasons change. That includes getting rid of dried leaves, pine needles and other debris around a home.
LeClair said that in the Camp fire that devastated Paradise, California, ember showers traveled for miles. Those wind-driven embers were the cause of most structure losses, LeClair said.
When the Lake Christine fire near Basalt blew up the evening of July 4 this year, wind blew embers into unexpected areas.
Beyond residences, Novak said a plan for Vail needs to include businesses, and advice for business owners to stay open, or quickly reopen, in the event of a wildfire. That will be crucial for the town’s economy if a wildfire hits.
Then there’s the environment. Beyond the human environment, Novak said a big fire could have a devastating effect on water quality in Gore Creek.
“We really need to take on every strategy to protect the community,” Novak said.
Vail Daily Business Editor Scott Miller can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org and 970-748-2930.
Participants attached protest signs to ski poles and hockey sticks in Vail Saturday at the 2020 Women’s March.

Radio jock Howard Stern is accusing late-night host Jay Leno of stealing his skits, more specifically a skit involving NFL commentator Terry Bradshaw and a chicken that predicts football team winners for the week. “This must be a giant ‘Punk’d’ on me,” Stern said on his radio show, ‘The Howard Stern Show,” last week. “This guy’s ripped off, like, 10 major things from my show. But the chicken thing we did for years. Stern even sent a copy of his chicken skit to “The Jay Leno Show.” The Leno camp has yet to respond.

Strictly has unveiled the pro dance line-up for this year's series and it features a world champion, but not Gleb Savchenko
The BBC today unveiled the new Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer line-up which includes three new dancers, but not the fans' favourite Gleb Savchenko.
New to Strictly are world-class Latin and Ballroom dance experts including world champion Katya Jones, Ukrainian champion Oksana Platero and Spanish professional Gorka Marquez.
Katya (pictured) said: “I am so privileged to be joining Strictly Come Dancing. I know it is extremely intense, but so am I! I am fierce, fabulous, and would love to win!”
Gorka said: “I feel very excited and grateful to be joining Strictly Come Dancing and to be one of the professional dancers for the new series. It’s something that every dancer dreams of and something that I always wanted to have the opportunity to do.”
Returning to the Strictly dance floor are male dancers Anton du Beke, Brendan Cole, Kevin Clifton, Pasha Kovalev, Aljaž Škorjanec, Giovanni Pernice; and the fabulous female dancers returning are Karen Clifton, Natalie Lowe, Joanne Clifton, Janette Manrara and Oti Mabuse.
Louise Rainbow, executive producer of Strictly Come Dancing said, “We are delighted with our professional dancer line-up this year and we welcome three new stunning dancers to our Strictly family. Our most recent series was a terrific one for Strictly, winning both an NTA and BAFTA Television Award, and we are all so excited to build on that and look forward to yet another brilliant and entertaining series.”
Gleb said" “I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the last series of Strictly Come Dancing and especially the way that the UK gave me such a warm welcome, but due to family commitments I won't be returning to the show for the next series – I'll definitely be tuning in though.”
Other professional dancers to join the Strictly family will be announced in due course.
The show returns to BBC One in the autumn when the celebrity line-up will also be revealed.
Patrick McLennan is a London-based journalist and documentary maker who has worked as a writer, sub-editor, digital editor and TV producer in the UK and New Zealand. His CV includes spells as a news producer at the BBC and TVNZ, as well as web editor for Time Inc UK.

An entertainment writer with a diverse taste in TV and film, he lists Seinfeld, The Sopranos, The Chase, The Thick of It and Detectorists among his favourite shows, but steers well clear of most sci-fi.

Written on: 03/02/2014 by MarkFenn (1 review written)
I stayed in Eastbourne & extended my stay twice. Each time I spoke to a Hotel Direct representative & on each occasion they were friendly, polite and fast. They also answered my call quickly - no waiting in a queue for ages - what a fantastic change that is!
They went the extra mile to contact the hotel directly to ensure I could keep the same room so my stay would be uninterrupted.
All whilst securing me a rate on the room which was lower than any of the other "big" hotel websites.
This was my first time using hoteldirect.co.uk but on this effort it certainly won't be my last :-)
Well done hoteldirect - I shall certainly be telling my friends and family how good you are!
Many thanks once again!

In this article of car comparisons, we will compare the salient features of manual variants of Changan Alsvin, Toyota Yaris and Honda Civic. The article will focus on different options and specs of these three cars. Alsvin has recently made an entrance in the local market with a loud splash; meanwhile, Yaris is currently the top sedan seller, while Honda City is the oldest among these three.
Engine and Transmission:
Changan Alsvin has 1370cc engine, which generates 99hp and 135Nm torque. Meanwhile, the size of Yaris’ engine is 1329cc with 97.8hp and 123Nm torque, while Honda City has 1339cc engine, producing 98.6hp and 128Nm torque. The comparison shows that Alsvin’ s engine is biggest, which produces most hp and torque.
Meanwhile, all three sedans have 5-Speed Manual Transmission in them.
Alsvin comes with 7-inch infotainment screen, Yaris has Touch Audio System, while it is optional in Honda City.
Changan and Toyota’s sedans have dual airbags, while City comes without them. Furthermore, all three vehicles have ABS+EBD system. So, Alsvin and Yaris are equal in this category, but City is relatively behind these two.
Rear Camera & Parking Sensors:
Changan’s sedan has a clear edge in this segment as it comes with both Rear Camera and Parking Sensors. Meanwhile, Yaris and City don’t have either of these features, means it is difficult for the drivers to reverse or park these sedans.
Traction Control & Hill Start Assist:
Toyota’s Yaris is the winner of this category as it has Traction Control as well as Hill Start Assist. Meanwhile, both Alsvin and City do not offer these features. It means Yaris is more stable on the road and easy to drive in the mountains.
Both Toyota and Honda have not offered DRLs in their respective sedans; however, Changan has installed them in its vehicle.
In this most crucial comparison, you will come to know that price of Alsvin is Rs2,199,000, while the current rate of Yaris is Rs2,509,000. Meanwhile, Honda City costs Rs2,449,000. So, it means the newest Alsvin is the cheapest sedan among the three.

#2 Home Business Models: Easy-to-Start Profitable Ideas
After all, why would you want to work so hard to fund someone else’s dreams?
Working for myself has allowed me to live a lifestyle that many people can only dream about. I have the flexibility to create the life I want, take days off when I need to, and I decide how much money I make by choosing the hours I work
But don’t be fooled. Working from home at a home-based business isn’t easy. It takes hard work and dedication to build a successful business that makes money.
It is possible to build your own profitable online business, but you can’t do it overnight (despite what you have been told by so-called Internet marketing gurus). The simple truth is that you need to choose a solid niche from day one, be willing to consistently work on your business over the course of several months and follow the path laid before you by people that have actually done it.
This is not just another course by an “Internet marketing guru” that teaches you to “make money online.”
I have been building online businesses for more than a decade and he has built multiple six-figure and seven-figure Internet businesses in many different niches. I’m not a “business guru” that makes money online by teaching people to make money online.

I cover the business of sports for Forbes.
Page 11 of 11
Current Population: 11.6 million
Projected 2025 Population: 19.1 million
Annual Growth Rate 2007 to 2025: 2.52%
Rural-to-urban migration and a steady stream of refugees dating back to the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan has caused Karchi’s population to explode; the 14.6 million inhabitants are nearly triple its 1981 level. It’s developed as a business-friendly city that accounts for 25% of Pakistan’s GDP. The question now is whether a number of proposed development projects go through as the population keeps growing.

Dark Void Zero Publisher: Capcom Entertainment Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Fantasy Violence Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points Description: As the '80s were drawing to a close, the developers at Capcom began work on a top-secret project that aimed to set new standards for the platformer genre. That game was called Dark Void. Alas, Capcom suspended development on Dark Void as it began to evaluate the SNES™. Before long, the game was shelved and drifted, unnoticed, into the annals of gaming history. Dark Void became a legendary "lost project" at Capcom. Now, nearly 20 years later, Dark Void is back! To commemorate the game's humble origins, Capcom has commissioned this recreation of the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled Dark Void Zero, on the Nintendo DSi™ system. You play as Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth. With the aid of Nikola Tesla and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty must take down the Watchers and their minions across three intense levels of action and intrigue.

Play with them at the park and teach them lots of tricks or train them for competitions at the stadium. You can even call them like in real life thanks to the microphone.
Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi Original platform: Genesis Publisher: SEGA Players: 1 ESRB Rating: E 10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Fantasy Violence Price: 800 Wii Points Description: Easy to play, hard to master, Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi, first released in 1987, is the sequel to the original Shinobi arcade game, and is one of the only games in the Shinobi series to feature true arcade-style game play. Play as Joe Musashi, the master ninja known to his enemies only as "The Shinobi." This battle is not one you must fight alone, as this is the first game in the Shinobi series to feature your ninja attack dog, Yamoto, who will charge foes on command, leaving them open to a powerful drop kick. Use your mastery of ancient ninja technique to topple the crime syndicate - the Neo Zeed Corporation - and free the foreign dignitaries they have taken hostage in New York City. Good luck, and may the ninja spirits help guide you in your journey.
Ooo, some sweet stuff on DSi and VC (why not Shadow Dancer Arcade, though?). Plus, Muscle March makes WiiWare awesome, regardless of its actual quality. Dark Void is promising, but I wish the second Q-Games DsiWare title wasn't a damned tower defense game.
Some interesting games there. I have too many still to play and a list of games I need to download as soon as I get some of the games I own completed. Overall, nothing really catches my interest, or at least for now.

When in Rome, don't do as the tourists do. Start your sightseeing early
Winter in the Eternal City provides the best chance to soak up the history without all the hassle. At least that's the theory
Sunday 26 February 2012
Rome wears history as casually as a bauble. Even before I get to the hotel my taxi driver is into a well-rehearsed routine. This, she points out, is the Palatine Hill, there the Circus Maximus, here the Forum. We round the corner and the familiar outline of the Colosseum glides past. You can't argue with the solidity of these forms. They are not Johnny-come-lately Las Vegas attractions bearing similar names. Here, in bricks and marble, are the real palaces of the Caesars. These were fully grown monuments for millennia while the defining landmarks of other cities were still in short trousers.
Rome also has the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Vatican. Its embarrassment of riches has entered popular culture through movies such as Roman Holiday, The Agony and the Ecstasy, Three Coins in the Fountain, La Dolce Vita and Gladiator. Rome exists in our collective memory as a mythical space, but one that can be visited with relative ease. No surprise then that it is the third-most popular city in Europe for tourists, after Paris and London. The challenge for modern visitors is all about finding ways of seeing the Rome of their dreams through the crowds.
Money helps. For instance, €350 buys a "private tour" of the Vatican for two. My guide, James, explains that the Vatican now hosts some four million visitors a year – the volume has quadrupled since the 1980s. It is 8am and we have just negotiated the airport-style security at the cavernous entrance hall. For an hour, we will have privileged access before most of the public are allowed in.
Fantasies of being alone in the Sistine Chapel, however, are soon dispelled. The special access is not quite that exclusive. Coach parties of tourists who have also paid for passes are herded past in a race to be the first to Michelangelo's chapel.
In high season, the atmosphere within can be reminiscent of an echoing municipal bathhouse. The restriction on numbers at this time in the morning does elevate the experience. The mood is semi-reverential. There is a sense of being in the presence of greatness – as if Nelson Mandela had walked into the room. But it is a murky winter day and, because the Vatican authorities don't permit artificial lighting inside the chapel, I still find it difficult to make much of the most famous frescos in the world.
The private tour does deliver a gem in the form of access to the Niccoline Chapel, which is otherwise closed to the public. James ushers me across the mosaic floor in the Room of Constantine (it dates from the third century but the public can tramp all over it) and has a word with a guard. We are discreetly ushered through a small door into the oldest part of the Apostolic Palace. This is a different world. On the far side of the large colonnaded room another small door admits us to the private chapel of Pope Nicholas V. It is tiny but brightly lit by windows in two sides of the tower it is housed in.
The walls are covered in luminous frescos, painted by Fra Angelico between 1447 and 1451, depicting scenes from the lives of St Stephen in the upper tier and St Laurence below. They were cleaned recently and the colours are eye popping. The paintings suggest a delight in rendering perspective and an equal relish in depicting gruesome martyrdom – St Laurence is shown being barbecued alive. We are supervised by the guard but are otherwise alone. These frescos cannot compete with Michelangelo's for grandeur but there is something very moving in being able to experience them much as the pope who commissioned them did.
There is no escaping crowds at the Trevi Fountain. It is the Piccadilly Circus of Rome – one of those strange no-man's-lands in city centres that have been claimed by Homo turisticus. I spot two English guys in town for the Six Nations rugby match. They scratch their chins and one says: "Is that what all the fuss is about, mate?"
The idiotic human statues are here; the souvenir vendors are here and the Japanese tourists are here. The last are well schooled in the visual grammar of the Trevi; they line up to be snapped in front of the fountain chucking a coin over their shoulders. Except they don't. There is no coin. They adopt a freeze frame pose of someone throwing a coin. They are pretending – an experience with no value or meaning.
In Roman Holiday, Audrey Hepburn's character gets her hair cut here during her attempt to escape from the stifling life of a princess. Today, Audrey would take one horrified look and run straight back to her palace.
Cardinal Scipione Borghese built the Villa Borghese as an escape from the hurly burly of Rome. It was a villa suburbana – a party palace – and quite likely the setting for 17th-century antecedents of Signor Berlusconi's bunga bunga extravaganzas. It is now the Gallery Borghese. I make my way there through the surrounding gardens on a crisp morning with snow piled up in decaying heaps; a clear sky sparkles through a canopy of the umbrella pines that characterise the city.
The gallery has just 20 rooms and has opted to deal with overcrowding by selling tickets on a timed-entry basis. The upside of this is that you'll find yourself jostling with only 359 others as you elbow through the extraordinary collection of Berninis and Caravaggios. The downside is that tickets, in summer, sell out days, if not weeks, ahead, which doesn't allow for much flexibility or spontaneity.
There are five two-hour slots during the day and visitors are required to arrive half an hour before their allotted time to collect tickets. I am booked on the 11am shift. There is a melee in the basement level entry hall. The ticket queue and the line for the guardaroba have become entwined. A posse of American blue rinsers from a cruise ship collides physically and culturally with a school outing. Italian children, especially those in a group, are easily the most vocal in Europe. When the teacher unwisely asks them which century the building dates from, the ensuing cacophony is entirely predictable. She limits the damage by making even louder shushing noises.
A narrow spiral staircase leads up to the ground floor where the gallery begins. There is an audible intake of breath as we enter the splendour of Room IV, the Sala degli Imperatori, the villa's second reception salon. The density of decoration is overpowering; every inch of every surface screams for attention. The floor is inlaid marble; the walls are panelled with fine mosaics and the ceiling is frescoed.
Until April, the gallery is hosting an exhibition called I Borghese e l'Antico (The Borghese Family and Antiquity), that sees the (sadly temporary) return of some of the classical statuary that, as the blurb delicately puts it, was "transferred to Paris in 1808". (The incumbent Borghese prince sold the collection under pressure from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1807 while French armies occupied Rome.) Some of the best-known statues are reinstated around the edges of this room – so it takes something special to direct your attention to the centre.
Gian Lorenzo Bernini was only 23 when he completed the Rape of Proserpina but it is an absolute showstopper. Proserpina is fighting off Pluto vainly, her palm crushed into the side of his face, while his massive fingers are indenting her thighs and side. She is clearly distressed, crying out for help, her face dripping with tears. The composition is a whirl of arrested motion, like a split-second exposure caught by a photojournalist. It is scarcely believable that all this human drama has been coaxed out of a massive block of cold marble.
Time is forgotten as I try to cope with the sensory overload of the Borghese collection. By the end of my two hours, I am still on the ground floor, slightly dazed. Most of the 11am crowd has motored on to the galleries upstairs where the Raphaels and some of the Caravaggios reside.
I wander into another room and find myself face to face with Antonio Canova's Venus Victrix (1808). It is an iconic sculpture. I am staring at the nude form of Pauline Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon, who married into the Borghese clan and was the model for this sculpture. But it's not her nakedness that is unsettling. It is the dawning realisation that we are alone. There is no one to chaperone us, not even a gallery attendant.
The spell is not broken when I drift to the next room, which is dominated by another Bernini masterpiece, his extraordinary, dynamic David. Through a connecting door I catch sight of, possibly, the most thrilling piece ever wrought in marble, Bernini's Apollo and Daphne. I feel like Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum. I have the tingling sense of being in a forbidden place witnessing a forbidden scene. Daphne is caught in the moment she is transforming herself into a laurel tree to escape the attention of Apollo. Her skin is turning to bark; her fingers are morphing into delicate leaves that are blowing in the wind. The leaves are like brittle translucent wafers. Bernini is an immature boy show off, saying, "look daddy, this is what I can do with marble".
It is a magical moment. My dream state is interrupted by the public address system announcing the end of the 11am shift.
The gallery is being readied for the next intake. But I have learnt something. When in Rome, sometimes all you have to do is take your time and let the crowds pass you by.

Scientists believe the severe drought conditions in California and the brutal cold conditions in the east could be down to a ‘blob’ of warm water lurking down the West Coast. The studied patch of warm water has been found to be 2 to 7 degrees warmer than normal, noticed sometime in the fall of 2013 and early months of 2014.
Nick Bond leading a team of scientists from the Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Ocean points out that after months of studies and observations. The mass of water was found to get warmer even when spring came calling; the hottest that was ever recorded for the area. After further analysis scientists discovered, the blob was 3 degrees warmer than typical ocean waters.
The blob is not only affecting the climate of the various part of the country but has been found to have severe effects on marine life. Fish on the West coast have been found to swim to unusual places affirming suggestions that the ecosystem continues to suffer as the warm Pacific Ocean water continues to disrupt the food web.
The expansion of the blob is believed to be the main cause of the 1,500 starving sea lion pups and the decline in copepods, as well as the ongoing change in environmental patterns. The blob was not formed by global warming, affirms the scientist but continues to produce conditions and effects synonymous with global warming. The blob influence has also been found to extend inland resulting in unusual weather patterns.
Bond attests that the patch of water that is 1,000 miles in each direction and 300 feet deep was the main cause of Washington’s mild 2014 winter conditions that might signal a warmer summer. The blob has also been attributed to the persistent high-pressure ridge thought to be the main cause of a calmer ocean over the past two winters.

Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is one of the most devastating things that can happen to any woman. Uncertainty, fear, and worry accompany this diagnosis, regardless of the history, prior health, and circumstance of the person who receives such a dire diagnosis. There are a million concerns that you may have, finances being one of them. Here are just a few examples of how financial help for breast cancer patients can improve quality of life.
Being a woman is hard enough – there are a million beauty “standards” that are imposed on you on a daily basis. Dealing with breast cancer can often mean facing a variety of procedures, surgeries and treatments that may impact how you feel about your body. Some treatments may cause you to gain weight, while others can result in drastic weight loss. You may be faced with a mastectomy, which carries with it an additional load of emotional issues. Receiving financial assistance during this difficult time can help you obtain the resources you need to feel better about yourself in whatever way you deem is best for you.
Certain cancer treatments can have lasting effects on your fertility. Depending on your age, and your aspirations for the future, you may wish to preserve your eggs or investigate other treatments that can help you have children. Obtaining financial help can help you afford these expensive techniques, and can keep our faith in the future.
For many cancer patients, dealing with pain is the worst aspect of the entire diagnosis. Unfortunately, each type of cancer brings with it a varying degree of pain. Receiving financial assistance to help offset the cost of a number of pain management techniques can go a long way in preserving your quality of life as you face this incredibly difficult time.

Polar bears have been popping up all over the media these days. While many of us in southern Canada have opinions on whether the increasingly vulnerable bears should be given ‘kibble’ hand-outs by humans or receive more protection under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, few have had the opportunity to visit them on home ice.
That’s why I was excited to stumble on a blog post my friend Brandon Laforest had written about his PhD research with York University. He’s been working in the field with polar bears, researching the effects of climate change on the feeding habits of the Southern Hudson Bay population. I wanted to glimpse more of his bear’s-eye view, so I sent some questions his way.
EJ: Your first field season wrapped up last fall. How long were you out there?
BL: Only about a week and half. One of the major limitations to our fieldwork is the high costs associated with it. Purchasing and caching helicopter fuel is very expensive, and is made more difficult by the fact that we are working in areas with no road access from the south so everything has to be flown in by fixed wing planes before we arrive.
EJ: Can you describe a day in the field?
BL: Our days are dictated by the sun. We rise in the early morning to have a bite to eat and then take off in our helicopter once the sun has risen and the visibility is clear. We can typically handle 4-6 bears per day before returning to camp just before the sun sets. We then have dinner, process our samples collected that day and prep for tomorrow.
EJ: Did you have any interactions with bears that were especially memorable?
BL: The most amazing thing to me was seeing mother polar bears with their young. I was the most impressed with one mother who had two yearlings with her, meaning this was their second and final fall with her before they would separate out on the ice this winter to become independent. Female polar bears are sometimes half the size of adult males, so it was remarkable to think about how she’d successfully spent the past two years feeding and caring for her two young.
EJ: You said you deployed GPS collars on 10 adult female polar bears. Why put the collars exclusively on females?
BL: You can think of the necks of male polar bears as being shaped like a road pylon, making it impossible to get a collar on there without them sliding out of it as soon as you leave!

EJ: You acknowledge that the bears are facing challenges due to increasing climate change impacts on their ecosystem. How hopeful are you that wild populations can be conserved?
BL: I think there is a lot of hope for the most northern subpopulations of bears, as the sea ice is projected to persist in the high North in the near future, at least. Polar bears at the southern extent of the species range face a much more difficult path. As amazing as mother polar bears are at caring for their young, a shortened feeding season through continually diminishing sea ice in Hudson Bay is making it harder and harder for them to provide enough food for themselves, let alone two or three other hungry mouths. We still have a lot to learn about how polar bears will fare in a changing North.
BL: Their paper is a great review of difficult questions that we need to be ready to answer in the near future. It's time that we raise these issues and address them head on. It's a great call for a pragmatic approach to polar bear management.
EJ: What can polar bear lovers do to help them?
BL: The best way to help is to be informed about the issue, reduce your energy consumption at home and put pressure on our political representatives to form responsible energy policies and climate change response measures.

An environmental study has been released detailing several ways King County could handle its trash in coming years and lays out options ranging from a waste-to-energy power plant to expanding the current landfill.
The environmental impact statement (EIS) will provide the first major update to the county Solid Waste Division’s management plan since 2001, and deals with a range of issues including recycling levels and whether the county should build a waste-to-energy (WTE) plant. The King County Council is scheduled to select its preferred alternatives early next year — decisions that will have widespread and prominent effects.
The most critical decision will be how the county deals with trash. King County has one remaining landfill located near Maple Valley. The Cedar Hills Regional Landfill is currently building its eighth and final cell, which will be filled until it reaches a maximum height of 800 feet above sea level in 2028. Once that happens, the EIS lays out five alternatives. The first would be to emulate what the city of Seattle does in its contract with Waste Management, where all solid waste is packed onto train cars and shipped to another landfill, likely in eastern Washington, Oregon or Idaho.
This option assumes the landfill will hit capacity as expected and the county would then contract with BNSF or Union Pacific to handle the 1.3 million tons of waste it generates annually. This would account for around 2 percent of all freight traffic in the state and run around $5 million to $7 million in capital costs. However, a 2014 study from the Washington State Department of Transportation shows some parts of the rail system could be over capacity. While trash from King County would account for around 2 percent of all freight, King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert has said in previous stories that she is worried hauling trash will be low on the list of priorities for railroads.
The second option would further develop the Cedar Hills landfill and begin shipping waste to another landfill when it reaches its new limit. The landfill height could potentially be increased to 830 feet in some places, extending its life until 2040. This would cost the county between $240 million to $270 million in capital expenses.
A third option, and one which Lambert has been advocating for, is to build a waste-to-energy power plant and use the landfill to deposit residual solid waste and ash. This leftover waste could also be shipped by rail to other landfills. The EIS finally puts some figures on this option, saying it would create around 2,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually over a 50-year lifespan, slightly less than .01 percent of the total current greenhouse gas emissions in King County.
The final two options involve using aerobic or anaerobic digestion processes to create methane, which can be siphoned off and refined by Bio Energy Washington, which already has a facility at the landfill. The difference between the final two options is whether processing would be done off-site by a private company or at the county’s landfill.
Using digestive technologies would also create new greenhouse gas emissions, but the facilities could reduce emissions more than landfilling the same material by keeping it at landfill instead of moving it, according to the study. The EIS said both the digestive and power plant options would likely decrease greenhouse gas emissions, but the aerobic and anaerobic methods are thought to lead to lower emissions than a power plant.
The cost between the final three options will inevitably factor into the county council’s decision. The digestive options cost between $34 million and $190 million, depending on which variation the county could pick. Building a new WTE plant will cost between $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion to construct.
Improvements to several transfer stations are also being considered. The county could close the Algona and Renton transfer stations when replacement capacity is made available. The Houghton transfer station in Kirkland would remain, and a new South King County transfer station could be created.
The Algona, Houghton and Renton transfer stations were all built before existing zoning laws were implemented. These stations are in areas where they are not permitted and require a special land use permit before any major improvements are made. The county has proposed citing the new South King County station at 35101 West Valley Highway South next to the existing Algona station, which it would replace. Construction is planned to begin in 2020 and last around two years.
The county also has the option of maintaining and improving existing transfer stations — without closing older stations — and not develop new facilities. It could also keep existing stations and develop new capacity, or create new resource recovery centers at existing and new recycling and transfer stations.
Recycling was also explored in the EIS. The county and its partner cities recycle at a rate of around 52 percent, which hasn’t changed much since 2007. The county is hoping to increase its recycling rate to 70 percent. The report lists three alternatives of varying levels of education and regulation to get there. The most restrictive would increase education and recycling incentives and increased collection standards. It would additionally put a ban on throwing recyclables, yard and food waste in the garbage.

LENOIR, N.C. -- She was a former FBI employee, the cantor's daughter who grew up in Baltimore's Orthodox Jewish community and ran a pair of fledgling businesses on the Internet.
He was a computer specialist for Catawba County, N.C., a father of three who lived on the family farm and loved to cultivate vegetable gardens with his children.
Sharon Rena Lopatka, 35, and Robert F. Glass, 45, lived a world apart and probably would never have met, if not for the Internet. But in the anonymous realm of cyberspace, the two lonely hearts found each other and began what police say was an electronic-mail fling that delved deeply into fantasies of sexual torture and murder -- and ultimately came true.
"All of this strikes us as weird," says Capt. Danny R. Barlow, a veteran investigator with the Caldwell County Sheriff's Department.
Glass is charged with killing Lopatka, who apparently died of asphyxiation, and burying her body near his broken-down, blue-and-white mobile home. Glass' attorney, Neil D. Beach, says Lopatka died accidentally during consensual sex, and that Glass will plead not guilty to the murder charge.
Investigators say it appears Lopatka orchestrated her death over the Internet. They say hundreds of sexually explicit e-mail messages culled from Lopatka's home computer show that she agreed to take a twisted sexual fantasy a step further at the hands of someone she met face-to-face three days before her Oct. 16 death.
The secret Glass and Lopatka shared stunned Baltimore's insular Orthodox community, which held tight to details of her life -- and was reluctant even to acknowledge the date of last week's funeral.
And it brought the national news media and tabloid television shows to the town of Lenoir, population 14,000. The case has generated so much publicity that a judge issued what longtime courthouse lawyers are calling the county's first gag order in at least 30 years.
Despite their vastly different pasts, Glass and Lopatka had a few things in common, according to court records and investigators, family members and friends. They felt alone. They were secretly obsessed with sex. And they found solace on the Internet.
Long before he became known in cyberspace as slowhanave.net, Glass was fascinated by computers. He parlayed that fascination into a career, working as a county data analyst.
Born on Valentine's Day, 1951, Glass grew up in Lenoir in the state's western foothills, where his father worked for a furniture maker and his mother taught elementary school.
The town is home to Broyhill, one of the nation's top furniture makers, and the scent of freshly cut timber fills the air. It's a place where the theft of a jack-o'-lantern from someone's front porch makes the local newspaper.
A burly, bearded, bespectacled man, Glass lived what was from all appearances an uneventful life. He graduated from Lenoir High in 1969. Among his hobbies were computing, music and model railroads.
Sherri Glass, a sweet-faced, soft-spoken woman with brown hair and glasses, was 19 and working the register at a Burger King in Lenoir when she met him. He ordered a steak sandwich, medium fries, a medium Dr Pepper. Six months later, he found the nerve to ask her out.
In 1982, Glass married Sherri, now 35 and a part-time secretary at the local community college. They lived in town before moving five years ago to the farm, where they planned to build a house.
But there was trouble in the marriage that would lead to a separation in April. She says he didn't love her anymore, and Glass was becoming more intrigued by the world that was
opening up on the Internet.
She says her husband sat before the screen of his 486 IBM-clone personal computer and often stayed late into the night.
"I knew he had a computer interest when I married him," she recalls. "But it got so that he was totally into computers. He didn't care about anything else."
She says her husband was never violent; she saw no sign of kinky sex habits. Once, she found a magazine with drawings and photos of nude women. She chalked it up to "normal guy stuff."
But what Robert Glass was doing was far from normal guy stuff.
It was the last week of August when he met someone calling herself nanconcentric.net on the Internet. It was Lopatka.
She grew up as Sharon Denburg in the shadow of Beth Tfiloh, a Pikesville synagogue where her father, Abraham J. Denburg, was a cantor for nearly three decades. Friends say she kept kosher and she kept the Sabbath.
Between November 1985 and May 1987, Lopatka worked for the FBI in the Washington-based unit that helps identify fingerprints and other clues to criminal cases. Last week, the bureau wasn't talking about Lopatka's short tenure there or why she left.
Lopatka's apparent rebellion against the restraints of her religion culminated in her April 28, 1991, marriage to Victor Lopatka, a man outside her faith who is a construction supervisor for Gilligan Development Inc.'s Diamond Hills community in Westminster.

I loved photographing this family. The whole family was so darned CUTE and nice it really made my day. And although we didn't have the beautiful sun we'd be enjoying in Seattle all week, the soft clouds made for very flattering light and kept everyone nice and cool. We were at Lincoln Park in West Seattle which is really a great place for a family photo session.
Next up I'm going to post those photos from the Fourth of July at Three Tree Point. Yeah, it is still summer and I'm so behind on posting and everything else. Stay tuned!

Naples Transportation Services
naples-transportationIt’s actually an understatement to say that there are a lot of transportation services in Naples and the surrounding SW FL areas. In fact, there are so many limo services that choosing a company can be confusing and even stressful. For those who live in Naples, it’s always a good idea to stick with a transportation services provider once you find one that can accommodate all of your needs. Unfortunately, this can be difficult to do. It seems that limo services pop up overnight and a few months later, they are nowhere to be found. Reliability is not a strong suit among most Naples transportation services companies. Fortunately, there are few that are in business for the long haul. Ocean Line Transportation Inc. is dedicated to providing continuous and high end transportation services to their clients in Naples, unlike other fly by night limo services companies in the area.
Specialized Transportation Services in Naples
Many of the limo services in Naples only offer cookie cutter transportation services, but not everyone needs transportation services for business trips, proms or nights out on the town. Few of these limo companies realize that people need limo services for “outside of the box” reasons. The ability for a transportation services company to adapt and fulfill the clients’ needs is essential, if they are at all interested in satisfying their clients’ needs and requirements. Not all clients need the same type of limo services. At Ocean Line Transportation Inc., all transportation services are personalized to meet the Naples client’s needs.
Custom Transportation Services in Naples
Few limo services companies in Naples are able to offer their clients a veritable smorgasbord of luxury vehicles to serve their needs and desires. Of course, every transportation company has a couple of executive sedans or SUVs, and a stretch limo or two, but few Naples limo services have much more than that to offer their clients. Some provide limo services in Naples for larger groups with super stretch limos however; that’s pretty much the biggest luxury vehicles they have to offer. Ocean Line Transportation Inc. has a veritable smorgasbord of luxury vehicles in their fleet, including mini coach buses and motor coach buses for transportation services in Naples and the surrounding areas.
Naples Full Service Transportation Services
Ocean Line Transportation Inc. provides their clients with full service limo services throughout SW FL and Naples. With a full fleet of luxury vehicles that can accommodate any size party, Ocean Line Transportation Inc. is the most versatile transportation company in the area. All of the drivers are very experienced professionals who are dedicated to providing the best customer service possible. Call 239-249-8039 to reserve your choice of luxury vehicle and get the specialized transportation services you need in Naples.

There are many analogies between the history of languages and biological evolution, but the differences between the two domains are also important and should be highlighted. One of them is the degree to which evolving units can be expected to remain recognisable over long periods of time (let’s assume that “long” means millions of years in biology and thousands of years in linguistics). The contrast is particularly striking if we consider biological evolution at the molecular level. How do we decide whether two fragments of DNA in the genomes of two different species have shared ancestry? The problem is by no means trivial, but it helps if the fragments in question are sufficiently long. If we align them and find a high percentage of identical base-pair sequences, it becomes likely that the partial identity is due to common origin rather than convergent evolution or pure chance. Of course sufficient care must be taken to rule out other possible explanations. For example, a lengthy periodic sequence in which a simple motif is repeated numerous times (like CACACACACACA...) is something that may have been generated many times independently by some kind of replication slippage. Whether the similarity of two such sequences means anything depends on the context in which they occur (e.g. whether they occupy the same locus in their respective genomes).
Note that the “alphabet” of the genetic code is very simple and (almost) the same in all domains of life, and the same is true of the interpretation of the codons (the translation of nucleotide triplets into amino acid sequences). Guanine is guanine, and cytosine is cytosine, no matter if they form a GC pair in the DNA of a blue whale, an amoeba, or a forget-me-not. The unity of the genetic code leaves no interpretative leeway: two nucleotides are either identical or different, not “similar” or “almost the same”.
By contrast, morphemes and words are encoded as strings of phonological segments whose inventories differ widely from language to language. There may be universal constraints on what is permitted to function as a speech segment, but individual languages enjoy a lot of freedom in this repect. Even varieties of one and the same language (say, Scottish English, Received Pronunciation, and General American) may have quite different phonological systems. The same speech sound may play a different role in different inventories. For example, the contrast between plain [t] and aspirated [tʰ] is not employed to differentiate meaning in English (the occurrence of the two sounds is predictable from the phonetic context), but in many languages (Mandarin, Armenian, Ancient Greek, Hindi, etc.) /t/ and /tʰ/ are distinct phonemes – contrastive units perceived as different “letters” of the mental code we use to represent words in the lexicon. Because of the operation of sound change, the pronunciation of a word (and its phonological encoding) can morph into something pretty well unrecognisable in the course of several generations.
A typical gene may contain about 30,000 base pairs. A typical word contains just a few phonemes. This difference in internal complexity is really significant. If there is a 50% match between the base-pair sequences of two aligned genes, the probability of this agreement being accidental is practically zero (even if they encode for rather different proteins and so have different “meanings”). If two words with “the same” meaning have “the same” form in two languages (remember that “sameness” is a tricky notion in linguistics, hence the cautionary quotation-marks), their identity means nothing by itself: it may well be accidental.
The most powerful device in the toolkit of historical linguists, the comparative method, is not interested in lookalikes but in words displaying recurring systematic correspondences – patterns resulting from the operation of historical sequences of regular sound changes. In order to undergo such changes (and to acquire their characteristic imprint, like a certificate of origin) a word must spend enough time in the company of other words in the same linguistic lineage. It may be difficult to believe that e.g. the English word daughter (RP /dɔːtə/, Gen.Am. /dɔtɚ ~ dɑtɚ/) is related to Polish córa /ʦura/ (with the same meaning), but the relationship is more or less obvious to anyone familiar with the regular sound changes in Germanic and Slavic, and with the correpondences they have left behind. Remember: not because the words are similar (they aren’t) but because the relationship between the most conservative lexical strata of Polish and English conforms to a well-defined pattern of formal correspondences, described in detail in the linguistic literature.
Greek theós and Latin deus not only have the same meaning (‘god’) but also look very similar: /tʰ/ and /d/ are both dental stops, /o/ and /u/ are both back rounded vowels (and we know that Greek -os often corresponds to Latin -us); the remaining segments are simply identical, and there is a similar hiatus (absence of a consonant) between the vowels in each case. There is, on the other hand, no plausible common source for the initial sounds, despite their similarity. No PIE word-initial consonant (or consonant cluster) can yield /d/ in Latin and / tʰ/ in Ancient Greek. The pair violates all known patterns of correspondence between the two languages. Moreover, a careful analysis shows that there are practically certain relatives of deus in Greek (e.g. the adjective dĩos ‘divine’ and the name of Zeús, the chief Olympian god), and plausible relatives of theós in Latin (e.g. fās ‘religious law’, fēstus ‘festive’, and fānum ‘temple’). They are hardly similar to theós, but they fit nicely into the known pattern of correspondences. One could entertain other possibilities, e.g. that theós might be a loanword from an unknown IE language in which the PIE *d > *tʰ; such an assumption would account for the deviation from the expected pattern. But – apart from the fact that there would be other features of theós left unexplained – ad hoc recourse to otherwise unheard-of languages with arbitrary charcteristics falls foul of Ockham’s Razor. The hypothesis that deus and theós are unrelated, and that theós is instead related to fās etc., is more parsimonious, and on the whole more compelling. The respective prototypes of deus and theós are therefore reconstructed as *deiwós versus *dʰh₁sós, derived from different PIE roots. It follows that their similarity is deceptive and there is no genetic link between them.
The likelihood that two words from different languages will display both a “matching” meaning and a “matching” form quite by chance is much higher than most people would imagine, and increases dramatically every time we relax the criteria of what constitutes a match. Without any formal controls, such as those that allow us to recognise spurious cognates in lexicons with reconstructable histories, matches are a dime a dozen and have no intrinsic value as evidence. If two languages are distantly related, real cognates are often as dissimilar as daughter and córa, and we can’t identify them just by eyeballing the material.
|Pieces should form a pattern|
To be fair, the oldest words in the IE languages have often retained enough similarity to be “visibly related” even to a layperson. After all, it was the bare resemblance of some Sanskrit words to those in Greek, Latin, etc. (famously observed by Sir William Jones in 1786) that led to the discovery of the IE family. But it was the careful application of the comparative method and the reconstruction of the common “protolanguage”, as well as the unravelling of the changes transforming it into the historically known languages, that allowed linguists to progress from impressionistic speculation to something resembling a scientific model. Many of the correspondences that seemed evident to linguists in the early 19th century have turned out to be misleading, and lots of non-evident ones have been discovered. Despite being regular, they couldn’t be spotted by a naive observer.

Sherman behind the screens: How to create cinema-quality lighting in Unity
Created by the Emmy Award-winning team that brought you Baymax Dreams, Sherman is a new short film crafted with Unity’s High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP).
My name is Jean-Philippe Leroux, and I’m the lighting supervisor for Unity’s Media and Entertainment Innovation Group. I joined Unity two years ago, and I’ve since been lucky enough to work on great projects like Neill Blomkamp’s ADAM: Episode 2 and Episode 3 and the Emmy® Award-winning Baymax Dreams.
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably heard about a major industry shift happening right now: the rise of real-time production.
Real-time animation is much more than a different rendering solution – it’s actually revolutionizing the entire production pipeline. Real-time creation engines (also known as game engines because they were initially created for video game development) have now achieved the quality and maturity they need to serve as a production hub for cinema-quality content creation.
But how is real-time rendering different than offline rendering? How do we go from hours of processing on a gigantic render farm to instant feedback and final 4K frames in mere seconds? There’s no magic involved. It all comes down to an amalgam of many simplifications, approximations, optimizations, and a few clever cheats.
Part of our goal in creating the animated short film Sherman was to showcase the HDRP’s ability to deliver some of the most advanced real-time furever. However, this post highlights how we achieved the real-time lighting solutions for Sherman in Unity, including concrete advice and tips that you can bring to your own projects. Whether you’re a 3D animation expert or a traditional lighting artist, this piece will give you the tools you need to start creating rich, nuanced lighting for real-time content in Unity.
There’s a lot happening in the lighting of this frame from Sherman. Let’s deconstruct it to see how it all comes together. Using this shot as our example, we can tease out pretty much everything you’d need to know about lighting effects in Unity for your own projects.
We can break the lighting effects used to create this image into four types, then discuss how to control each of them.
Mastering ambient lighting
We started by defining the ambient lighting for the scene. We didn’t use a simple ambient term to emulate light scattering; instead, we took advantage of Unity Progressive Lightmapper to bake the Global Illumination results into lightmaps and create localized ambient lighting.
Our project is a multi-scene setup, and all of the static scene elements live under the episode_set scene game object.
Set lighting elements are in the episode_set_lighting scene, which is the active scene in Unity. This is important because the active scene determines where any lighting data generated will live. You can find more information on multi-scene workflows here.
We don’t need the 001_timeline scene to build our set lighting, and we will unload it during the process. If you look carefully, you might also spot a section labeled ToHide. Inside, there’s a camera and an instance of the sun’s directional lights. Some post-processing effects are important to lighting, like Tonemapping and Ambient Occlusion, but you’ll need a camera to display them. We use a temporary camera while lighting the set, but only one camera should remain when the project is fully loaded. Once baking is complete, the ‘ToHide’ debug camera and lighting should be hidden again.
For any object in a given lightmap, the UVs should never overlap – each surface needs its own unique UV. Much of the time, you can let Unity generate lightmap UVs for you at import. (You can find more information on this topic here.) For complex and organic objects, it’s generally better to have an artist make a UV2 manually using their preferred digital content creation (DCC) software. Stitching seams is a simple way to achieve smoother results on edges that are not continuous in the lightmaps.
Let’s take a look at the Lighting tab and explore the settings used to create this scene in Sherman:
- First, we are using Mixed Lighting Bake Indirect with the Progressive CPU Lightmapper. We didn’t use Realtime Global Illumination because it will not be supported in HDRP.
- The GPU Lightmapper makes huge progress with every new version of Unity, but it was still missing key features we needed during the production of Sherman.
- Personally, I prefer not using Shadowmask mode, which bakes shadows and most lighting into lightmaps for an animated production. By using Bake Indirect instead, the light calculations are kept simple, at a lower resolution – which means the baking time is faster, and we also have the flexibility of allowing small shot-by-shot corrections of our directional orientation.
- The setting for Direct Sample is irrelevant for the mode selected here because we’re not baking any direct lighting, so you can ignore this.
- Start low for your Indirect Sample setting, around 250, and increase it as you grow more confident in your scene setup.
- For the Bounces setting, two should be enough, but I advise increasing to four for interiors.
- When defining your Lightmap Resolution, start low and gently scale up. In this scene, we chose a final resolution of ten, which gives us 100 texels for one square meter. Remember that lighting and physics require you to work in a 1 Unity unit = 1-meter environment.
It’s very important to be aware and take advantage of the Scale In Lightmap parameters of the individual meshes in a scene. For small objects with triangles too small to cover multiple lightmap texels, increase this value, and decrease it for larger objects that are far away. You can easily preview your lightmap resolution by enabling the Baked Lightmap view and Show Lightmap Resolution.
Not all objects are suitable for lightmaps. You shouldn’t mark complex, multi-surface objects for lightmapping, nor small objects that don’t contribute significantly to the Global Illumination or that will simply be too expensive to lightmap (for example, grass, leaves, small rocks, and debris). You can do this by ensuring that Lightmap Static is disabled.
Some large static objects aren’t really suitable for lightmapping, such as our hedges, but we still want them to contribute to the solution. There is a trick to have an entity taken into account without lightmapping it: set its Scale In Lightmap value to zero. For example, in the edge section, you can clearly see the occlusion the hedges create, even if they’re not lightmapped.
What about the rest? Light probes
After establishing the ambient light and lightmapping settings, a probe array lights the remaining small and dynamic objects. For Sherman, we created an array of probes with a spacing of one meter between them.
Larger objects like the grass lawn benefit from more refined probe lighting through the clever use of Light Probe Proxy Volumes. This way, an object is lit by localized samples of the probes rather than by a single probe.
Valuable tip: In a multi-scene setup, it is important to know that only the light probes from the latest scene loaded will be taken into account.
Now that we’ve explored how to generate great localized ambient light, how do we make sure that it doesn’t fill any areas light shouldn’t reach and ground objects together?
First, you need to generate ambient occlusion maps for some of the objects, such as inside the doghouse or the raccoon’s mouth, using your preferred DCC.
Next, to glue elements together, we use a post-processing effect called Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO).
We’ll go into greater detail about this effect in the post-processing section below.
Planning your reflections
In real-time, your Indirect Specular Lighting, or reflections, comes from a complex layering of techniques. The ordering of layers cascades as follows:
- Real-time planar reflections
- Real-time reflection probes
- Small baked reflection probes
- Larger reflection probes (yes, the smaller volumes have priority over larger ones)
Reflection resolution and cache size are managed in the HDRenderPipelineAsset. Basically, planar reflections are mirrors. These are perfectly suited for flat surfaces, but they can also be used in more complex situations like the one I created to help connect the raccoon and the inflated hose. Be careful with these, though, as they can be expensive in terms of memory.
Real-time reflection probes can also be used strategically to show important details in the reflections and occlusions of light sources. In this case, a small real-time spherical probe was used to engulf the bowl, allowing us to showcase the inflating hose about to rupture.
Baked reflection probes need to cover our set. You should take advantage of the size priority, the parallax correction offered by the projection volume and advanced blending mode. A good rule of thumb is to place your capture point at the average height at which your camera work is done.
If you look closely, you will notice that some reflection probes are very specific to shadowed areas. This was done to manage undesired specular reflections from our strongly directional sky.
Following the action in the Timeline
The Timeline is your sequencer and the central hub for everything animation-based. From there, you can animate most things, but when it was time to create our shot-by-shot lighting, we used activation tracks instead. I personally find it easier to simply manage groups dedicated to a shot rather than animating every component of a lighting rig shot by shot.
A few tricks:
- It is important to keep in mind that everything you wish to animate in the Timeline needs to be in the same scene as the Timeline itself – in our case, the 001_timeline scene. Any link pointing to another scene will be lost when you reopen your project or enter PlayMode.
- Set your Post-playback state to inactive, or you may end up with ghost light rigs when you’re rendering.
- Converting an animation track into a clip track is an easy way to reschedule your animation when the editing or timing of a shot is modified.
- More information on activation tracks can be found here.
Why working with Prefabs is awesome
Prefabs are great for grouping objects that need to be reused multiple times. A Prefab lets you modify the composition of your group, and all instances will follow automatically. Unity Prefab instances let you easily and selectively revert any derivation you made or apply it back to the original Prefab and propagate changes instantaneously. This system also gives you a framework that enables a seamless derivations workflow, either to tweak instances or quickly create and validate alternate variations.
As of version 2018.2, Unity supports nested Prefabs. This setup is perfect for quickly iterating on a lighting rig. As an example, here’s the Lighting Prefab structure for the first animation beat. You can see the shot-by-shot structure that is driven by activation tracks. Since only lighting objects that exist during the shot displayed, any others are currently hidden.
In the lighting part of our scene Hierarchy, you can find:
- Scene setting overrides
- Objects that are used strictly to compose shadows for this shot
- Density Volumes to control the atmospheric effects
- A real-time reflection probe for the bowl
- Other Prefabs for the sun, fill and rim lights
Another benefit of working with Prefabs is that once an object has been instantiated in your scene, you don’t need to keep the scene checked out in source control to work on your lighting. This means that other members of your team can work on the scene.
It’s important to mention that certain properties cannot be derived in your Prefab and require a custom instance for any variation. This is the case for Scriptable Objects like Volume Profiles, Post-Processing Profiles, and Timelines.
An instance of the sun resides in each shot group. This allows us to do shot-by-shot minor tweaks to its orientation. We also used a tree cutout to carefully create interesting shadows.
By working in forward rendering, HDRP grants you access to post-percentage closer soft shadows (PCSS). This tool lets you simulate the lights’ penumbra.
In real-time, lights are not ray-traced, and shadows are deducted by a technique called shadow maps. Shadows are not free and need to be enabled for each light. HDRP’s Shadow Atlas system enables you to have a large number of shadow-casting lights. We used the largest Atlas possible, but it’s important to know that while a large Atlas substantially improves quality, it’s also more expensive in terms of computing time because it contains more information.
The system will dynamically rescale shadows if your Atlas ever gets full. Shadow resolution is defined per light. In our setup, my punctual lights are set to 1024 and my directional is 4×2048. Note that point lights are 6×1024 (to represent a cube), so they are very expensive.
The directional light shadow benefits from a technique called Cascade Shadow Maps (CSM). To achieve optimal quality, you need to refine the distribution of cascades per shot using the HD Shadow Settings component overrides. You may also need to tweak the near clip plane in your Cinemachine virtual camera lens settings. This pushes the first cascade forward, a process that becomes more increasingly important alongside the length of the lens you are using.
Working with volumes
In HDRP, many rendering and post-processing properties are driven by volumes with associated “profiles.” Since Unity 2019.1, both of these sets of properties have been merged into the same volume component and are now organized in categories. The profile values are interpolated depending on the current camera position. If the camera is not in any volume, it will fall back on a global profile.
Each volume has a priority and weight value. Unfortunately, the values of the profile can’t be animated, but the priority and weight values can be. This is exactly how we animated the post-processing for the electric shock effect.
In Unity, you can assign an entity to specific light layers. We did this to manually place a catchlight to make the raccoon’s eyes look alive and interesting. This feature also lets me manage any undesired specular highlights coming from the many punctual lights I used for fill and rim lighting. We also used this functionality to prevent punctual lights from interfering with our water effects.
Controlling your direct specular lighting
One really interesting feature of lighting in HDRP is the ability to adjust the Max Smoothness of your lights. This technique can be used to simulate the dispersion of the specular light source’s intended size.
You can also specify if a light is Affect Specular or Affect Diffuse and test the effects of these settings in your content.
Mastering volumetric lighting
Atmospheric effects are an important tool in your arsenal when it’s time to create depth in your scenes. HDRP high-quality volumetrics (defined in the HDRP settings) provide you with a robust solution, and you can maximize the effect’s quality using the Volumetric Lighting Controller.
For the best-localized effect, we used Density Volumes in Sherman, once again placed shot by shot to maintain full control over their appearance.
In-Editor color grading and camera effects
Color Grading is now an essential part of any production process. You can achieve impressive results directly in Unity. Post-processing effects have been fully integrated into HDRP since 2019.1. Here, I’ll outline our workflow from Sherman, using the version referred to as the Post-Processing V2 Stack (which isn’t compatible with the Post-Processing V3 Stack integrated into HDRP 2019.1). Things have changed since then, but the concepts are all the same.
Post-processing effects work on volumes. Color Grading, Ambient Occlusion, Grain, and Filmic Motion Blur are defined in a master volume that resides in the lighting scene. Some of those values will be overridden by higher-priority volumes that are part of our per shot Timeline-activated setup.
Every camera-related effect – Bloom, Depth of Field, and Vignette – is defined in a custom profile created for every single Cinemachine Virtual Camera using the CinemachinePostProcessing extension. At certain moments, a Post-exposure override was also used since pre-exposition wasn’t yet available in Unity 2018.4.
Since the entire render happens in HDR Linear space, it’s extremely important to define the color output. This project was set to use the ACES output (Academy Color Encoding System) from the beginning. ACES Tonemapping gives you highly contrasted images with very strong dark tones. To obtain our uplifting color palette, we needed to adjust our gamma. Most games that adopt this style of tonemapping do the same.
The Unity team is very proud of our new Trackballs tool. Trackballs controls are a familiar tool to any professional – they’re easy to manipulate, and we really love them.
Even if only one can be displayed at once, many grading curves are available. We used Hue vs Sat, Sat vs Sat and Lum vs Sat.
A Post Process Debug component was also added to our main camera. From there, you can activate a Waveform Monitor and Histogram. Waveform is a really powerful tool for analyzing the health of blacks and whites.
Ambient Occlusion was already mentioned, but let’s take a closer look at some settings. Intensity was set to 0.75, and in some shots, it was diminished in order to reduce noisy patterns, showing mostly in the trees’ foliage. We did not use any non-physically based rendering (PBR) options like the Color or Direct Lighting Strength. This effect is resolution-dependant, so this effect should be tweaked to fit your intended output resolution.
Depth of field
DOF is not only the byproduct of a fast lens; it’s an essential tool to drive the focus in your story. Images are moving fast, so people’s attention has to be carefully guided.
Cinemachine has the wonderful option of tracking focus for you. The new version of this post-processing tool has been fully re-written and is no longer resolution-dependant. In the 2018 version of Unity, the VFX Graph transparencies render queue wasn’t an available feature. This means that for Sherman, there were certain shots that included our water effect where we had to avoid any shallow depth of field. The good news is that this VFX Graph feature was introduced in 2019.2.
Vignette is a powerful effect, but one that can easily be overused. It mimics an artifact of filming through a lens, visually representing the loss of light in the corner of the frame. For realism, this effect should always be rounded.
Bloom is a beautiful artifact created by strong light bleeding on your camera sensor and dirty lenses. You can simulate this effect in Unity, but, once again, this technique should be used with moderation.
Lighting for animation is complex and difficult to master. In this post, we covered almost everything a traditional lighting artist would need to know to light a real-time rendering production. I really hope you enjoyed reading it and feel inspired to try some of the tricks I’ve outlined here.
I can’t see myself ever going back to “the good old days” of traditional lighting. Real-time animation is revolutionizing the craft and creating new worlds of opportunity. With more room for taking risks and experimenting without consequences, the results can only be greater.
