For President: Barack Obama
For Vice President: Joe Biden
For US Senator: Sherrod Brown
For Representative to Congress (9th district): Marcy Kaptur
For State Senator (24th district): Jennifer Brady
For State Representative (16th district): Andrew Meyer
For Prosecuting Attorney: Timothy McGinty.
Harder stuff
For member of the State Board of Education (5th district)
Our choices are Marianne Gasiecki, Rich Javorek and Bryan C. Williams.
The Ohio State Board of Education consists of 19 members, 11 of whom are elected and 8 of whom are appointed. They set K12 policy. District 5 includes all the parts of Cuyahoga County that aren't Cleveland. Our current guy is Robin Hovis, who was originally appointed by Disgraced Republican Governor Bob Taft.
State Impact Ohio gives quick profiles of all the candidates which tell me what I need to know. Gasiecki is a Republican who says Republican things. Javorek is a Democrat who says Democratic things. Williams couldn't get his act together enough to respond to an inquiry from a major news organization.
The Winner: Rich Javorek
Judges Races
Voting for judges is stupid. Whenever someone asks me why voting for judges is stupid I point to this New York Times story about the way Ohio Supreme Court rulings mirror campaign contributions. (Actually no one ever asks me why voting for judges is stupid, which is too bad.)
For Justice of the Supreme Court, race 1
Terrence O'Donnell. (R) v. Mike Skindell (D)
And look who shows up in the first judge's race this cycle: its the poster boy from the above NYT article, Terrence O'Donnell. That article reports that he ruled in favor of his campaign contributors 91% of the time
The challenger in this race is Mike Skindell. He does not rate as well on the normally reliable Judge4yourself, but judge4yourself does not work as well on high-stakes partisan elections.
Endorsement: Mike Skindell.
For Justice of the Supreme Court, race 2
Robert R. Cupp (R) vs. William M. O'Neill (D).
O'Neill is running on the promise to end to end bribery at the supreme court level and is refusing all campaign contributions. He did this in 2006 in a race against O'Donnell and lost by 20% of the vote, which is I suppose what happens when you don't raise money and your opponent does.
Endorsement: William M. O'Neill.
For Justice of the Supreme Court, race 3
Sharon Kennedy (R) vs. Yvette McGee Brown (D)
This is a partisan election, even if the party affiliations aren't on the ballot. Everyone should vote Democratic.
Endorsement: Yvette McGee Brown
For Judge of the Court of Appeals (8th District)
Tim McCormack
Kenneth R. Spanagel
Equal ratings on Judge4Yourself, with McCormack doing better with the general bar, and Spanagel doing better with the criminal defense bar and winning the Plain Dealer endorsement.
But McCormack is the democrat and Spanagel is a Republican, and really this is a partisan election.
Endorsement: Tim McCormack.
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (General Division)
Marilyn B. Cassidy
Michael Jackson
Both get good ratings from Judge4Yourself.
Jackson is the Democrat.
Endorsement: Jackson.
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (General Division)
Daniel Gaul
Edele Passalacqua
Gaul's ratings are good to excellent on Judge4yourself, while Passalacqua's are adequate to good.
Passalacqua switched parties to Republican to challenge Gaul, after Gaul violated judicial ethics with an outburst in court. Gaul's high ratings at judge4yourself show that the legal establishment--and the Plain Dealer--are still behind him.
Endorsement: Gaul
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (General Division)
Kathleen Ann Sutula
Dean W. Van Dress
Sutula is decisively favored by all the groups reporting to judge4yourself. She's a Republican, but her opponent is a city councilman with no legal experience whatsoever.
Endorsement: Sutula
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (General Division)
Cathryn R. Ensign
Shirley Strickland Saffold
Strickland Saffold made headlines when it was discovered that she had posted all sorts of insulting and prejudicial comments to Cleveland.com under the pseudonym "lawmiss," including the remark that one of the lawyers appearing before her should "shut his Amos and Andy style mouth." When that same 'Amos and Andy' lawyer came before her court again as a part of the Anthony Sowell murder trail, she was removed from the case. Strickland Saffold is now refusing to participate in the judge4yourself process. Ensign, a Republican, is running against Strickland Saffold "at least in part because the judge missed a pre-trial conference that Ensign's client had traveled from Columbus to attend."
Endorsement: Ensign.
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (General Division)
Cassandra Collier-Williams
Joan Synenberg
Republican Synenberg gets top marks across the board from judge4yourself, while Collier-Williams low marks, including a dismal "not recommended" from the Ohio Women's Bar. Synenberg gets special commendation for her handling of the case of Joe D'Ambrosio, who was acquitted after spending 21 years on death row for a murder he didn't commit. Synenberg stood up to prosecutors, who, it turned out, had withheld evidence.
Endorsement: Synenberg
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (General Division)
Pamela A. Barker
Colleen Ann Reali
The various legal bodies at Judge4yourself give Barker near perfect ratings, while Reali's are as weak as they come. Barker is the Republican, but this far down the ticket, competence trumps partisanship quite handily.
Endorsement: Barker
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (General Division)
Robert C. McClelland
Cullen Sweeney
Sweeney changed his name to run for this office. That should decide things right there. McClelland is also higher ranked on judge4yourself. On the other hand, McClelland has not been transparent about campaign contributions and is a Republican. Name changing and secret campaign contributions are pretty much the two worst things about electing judges in Ohio. But McClelland has the backing of the people who actually have to work in the legal system.
Endorsement: McClelland
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (General Division)
Annette G. Butler
Steve Gall
Gall is ranked higher at judge4yourself, and Butler actually received a "not recommended" from the Ohio Bar. Butler is a Republican who was "shocked" to discover that the male criminal defendants before her had a very low level of education. It is not known whether she clutched pearls while saying this.
Endorsement: Gall
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Juvenile Division)
Frankie Goldberg
Denise Nancy Rini
Rini has a slight edge with the legal establishment at judge4yourself.com and the endorsement of the Plain Dealer. But Goldberg is a Democrat running on a reform platform and touting her connections with popular Democratic figures like Martha Fudge. Goldberg is in the race because she challenged and beat Joseph F. Russo a corrupt drunk who has a last name that appears often in connection with corrupt Cuyahoga county Democratic politics.
Endorsement: Goldberg
For Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Juvenile Division)
Michael John Ryan
Anjanette A. Whitman
Ryan is a Democrat with a decisive lead in the ratings at Judge4yourself.
Endorsement: Ryan
State Issues
State Issue 1: Constitutional Convention?
Every 20 years, the state constitution says there has to be a vote on whether there needs to be a new constitutional convention. No one seems to be calling for one this time around.
Endorsement: No
State Issue 2: An independent redistricting council.
Someone called redistricting "The most fun you can have in politics without going to jail." In fact partisan redistricting in Ohio is a nightmare. Since both sides redistrict in their favor when they are in power, the resulting system mostly protects incumbents in general. The new commission would strive to make all districts to be competitive. The only objection to the proposal has been that an unelected body is not "accountable." But we have seen that when it comes to redistricting, the elected bodies are only accountable to their donors and powerbases.
Listen to the debate on this issue at the City Club of Cleveland.
Endorsement: Yes
Bay Village Issues
Issues 3, 4 and 5:
The Republican mayor of Bay is laying the groundwork here to merge city services, including police and fire, with other services in the region. The move is opposed by the police and firefighters unions. Their campaign only mentions issues 4 and 5, and not 3. Perhaps this is because 3 primarily impacts the police and fire chiefs, who count as management.
In any case Bay Village is rich, and doesn't seem to need to save money here. As long as people are willing to buy those jillion dollar lakefront houses, I think there is room for more taxes on the very wealthy.
Endorsement: No.
Issue 6: PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT CITY OF BAY VILLAGE
The proposed change simply says "Shall article XIII section 13.3 Disqualification of the charter of the City of Bay Village, regarding the disqualification of certain city officials, be amended."
This looks like the ordinance that put the issue on the ballot. It contains this text, which seems to be the full text that will be added to the charter:
No Councilman, Mayor, Director of Finance or any other officer, employee or appointee to any board or commission of the Municipality shall cast a vote or approve a contract that he may directly or indirectly be financially interested in any contract, job, work or service with or for the Municipality, nor in the profits or emoluments thereof, nor in the expenditure of any money on the part of the Municipality other than in his fixed compensation and expenses; and any contract with the Municipality in which any officer or employee is or becomes financially interested may be declared void by the Council. Any such individual who takes an action that violates this section shall be disqualified from holding such office or position in addition to being subject to any other penalties provided by law.
This looks like an ordinary measure to prevent sweetheart deals and selling government contracts.
The ordinance also contains this language, which is interesting.
That this ordinance is hereby declared to be an emergency measure immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare, and for the further reason that it is immediately necessary to place said proposed amendment on the ballot in a timely fashion so the electors may decide the question proposed, wherefore this ordinance shall be in full force and take effect immediately upon its passage and approval by the Mayor.They may just have to use language like this to expedite the ballot issue. On the other hand, they may be planning on kicking someone out of the government as soon as this is passed. Maybe if I hung out more with the neighborhood gossips I would know these things.
I can't find the full charter for the City on the City's website. Someone should complain about that.
Endorsement: Yes
Bonds for the schools, with a levy to pay for the "debt charges" on the bonds.
Always vote for the schools.
Endorsement: Yes
Cuyahoga County Issues
The port authority does not seem to be well managed, and I think was involved somehow in the recent cluster of corruption cases which led to the downfall of local politicians and a restructuring of government. Still, you need the government to fund economic development. I'd rather reform the system than defund it.
Endorsement: Yes
They want to switch to a 2 year budget cycle.
Endorsement: Yes
They want to stagger the terms of the county auditors and the count executive.
Endorsement: Yes

Weekly family rail, with tips on pets and the holidays, a review of "Twilight" and more.
Tip of the Week
To ensure your pets have a happy, safe and low stress holiday, take extra care for your pet and plan ahead with these simple solutions:
- Try to maintain your pet's usual routine, including consistent feeding, play and exercise schedules.
- If possible, try to exercise your pet, especially dogs, before guests come over to help decrease any hyperactivity and stress.
- Consider leashing your dog before opening the door for visitors to ensure greater control over your pet and to prevent escapes.
- Dogs tend to pant more when they become stressed. Be sure to keep water readily available to prevent dehydration.
- Prepare a quiet place for your pet to use as a retreat when holiday activities and guests become overwhelming.
- Try a pheromone-based product, such as Comfort Zone with D.A.P. for dogs and Comfort Zone with Feliway for cats, which can calm and soothe pets having trouble coping with holiday stress.
- Never leave your pet alone with unfamiliar children, regardless of how well behaved your pet is, to avoid potential incidents.
- Do not let guests feed your pet food from their plates, which can be hazardous to your pet's health. Instead, leave treats out for your guests to give to your favorite furry friends as a reward for good behavior. (ARA)
Family Screening Room
Rated: PG-13 (for some violence and a scene of sensuality)
Length: 2 hours
Synopsis: "Twilight" is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Wash., she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Soon they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.
Violence/gore rating: 5
Sexual-content rating: 3
Profanity rating: 2
Scary/tense-moments rating: 5
Drugs/alcohol rating: 2.5
Family Time rating: 4. "Twilight" gets a fairly high rating because of the violence. But if your kids were able to handle the book, they should be OK with the on-screen depictions.
(Ratings are judged on a five-point scale, with 5 being "bad for kids" and 1 being "fine for kids.")

sometimes it's just too much to ever handle
there's too many woman with eyes like intelligent design
there's a sun that has burned for all of us
and will always continue to burn for all of us
and when we don't have that, we have the moon
we have the moon and the stars and the black silk sky
and the oceans that reflect the light so we're captured
we're captured between the two and we don't have a choice
but to see ourselves as one common entity
we are all, all of us, every single one of us
part of the same vehicle of life, don't flatter yourself
you are not something special
you are amongst a billion special things
we need to seek this out in one another, in everyone
we need to remember the way
that we help to push the grass out of the ground
we must remember the way that a heart can succumb
to a bass line, i'm not even joking
your heart can literally adjust to the music it hears
and it definitely can adjust to those around you
so i beg of you to answer, why can't our eyes see
why can't we appreciate the million instruments
that surround us, and the glorious grandiose
extraterrestial superhuman cataclysmic kaleidoscopic
kandinskily colorful grandiloquent magnum opus of existence?
you don't know
none of us know
we make up questions
and we find answers
but we can feel each other's presence
we know when someone is looking at us
we can feel love
never forget that one
we can feel love
sometimes it's easy to get separated from that
but it's there
i assure you
right now
i have enough for all of you
and i'm trying to pass it on
i can't hold onto it
i'll explode
we'd all explode
be unafraid to love those around you
be unafraid of what is different
because the things that are the same
are boring, they're boring
and you don't want to go to the same grocery store
at the same time
to see the same boring faces
and buy the same foods
and check out with the same cashier
every day of your short short short short short life
life is not very long
bad days drag out tugging at our legs
to appreciate the good ones
open your mind
open your eyes
open your arms
open your rib cage
and let that god damn drum beat
let it beat
let it beat like it has never beat before
bleed on the canvas of life
do not be afraid
of being too happy
there is no such thing
there are no limits
that's the god damn point
you will not put a period on the end of a sentence
you are a conjunction
you are the connective tissue of everything
we need you
i need you
even if i don't know it
reassess the hatred in your life
what aren't you doing?
what should you be doing?
who should you be calling?
what do you have to say to who?
i guarantee you
i fucking guarantee you they will be glad to hear it
even if it's bad news
and there is bad news
just open
regret there not being more hours in the day
and that is all
i want you to imagine yourself smiling
and now i want you to smile
can you do that for me?
can you do that for me?

Sharding, Replication, Caches, and In-Memory Databases
Caching, replication, and sharding have proven to be important tools in the modern database architect's toolbox. To meet the requirements of high-throughput websites, system architects are turning to distributed caches and in-memory data grids to reduce I/O operations against disk-based databases.
Developers looking for a cache solution for SQL databases often turn to memcached, an in-memory key-value store. It supports writing cache code using a variety of languages, including Java, C++, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, and Python.
Another approach to caching is to stay with the SQL paradigm for both cache and database operations. This is possible by using an in-memory SQL database as a cache for on-disk databases. One such in-memory database, H-Store, was shown to deliver excellent performance when properly partitioned. It morphed into a commercial product known as VoltDB. Other products that support main memory database operations include Oracle TimesTen, McObject eXtremeDB, and HyperSQL Database (HSQLDB). Besides acting as a cache for large on-disk databases, the in-memory databases are often embedded in applications, such as low-latency trading systems.
Going back to the analogy from my previous post, the flood control system for the Mississippi River often relied on distributaries to relieve the pressure on levees by distributing the flow of water. For very large database (VLDB) architectures, horizontal partitioning can provide a similar volume-reduction distribution function — in this case, the distribution of data so that multiple servers process queries.
Sharding, or horizontal partitioning of data, is a proven solution for web-scale databases, such as those in use by social networking sites. One such site is Netlog, a social network that has 100 million friendships, 50 million unique visitors per month, and 5 billion page views per month. Netlog runs MySQL, with the typical database getting 3000+ queries per second. The data distribution architecture evolved through several partitioning schemes based on master-slave replication before settling on a sharding scheme based on user ID. The application has been designed to avoid expensive, cross-shard queries.
Manual methods are often used in the layout of horizontal partitions, but recent research and tools can assist the database designer in laying out shards. Hibernate is an open-source, object-relational mapping (ORM) tool for Java and . NET developers. It's a popular solution for providing a persistence framework for Java developers, and the Hibernate project has taken on the challenge of database partitioning. Hibernate Shards enables developers to work with data partitions while using the Hibernate Core API . To meet the re-sharding challenge, it supports virtual shards.
SQLAlchemy is a database toolkit for Python that enables a session to distribute queries across multiple databases. Besides providing object-relational mapping (ORM) support, SQLAlchemy also provides horizontal partitioning with
ShardedSession and
ShardedQuery classes.
MIT is the home of the RelationalCloud project, which focuses on Database-as-a-Service (DaaS). Cloud computing is characterized by dynamic workloads and a requirement for scalability and elastic computing, which will challenge any rigid data partitioning scheme. At the VLDB 2010 conference, a paper from MIT researchers presented Schism, a scheme for letting workloads drive replication and partitioning. The purpose of Schism partitioning is twofold; first, to balance partitions and second, to minimize distributed transactions. Researchers tested Schism with a variety of workloads. These included online transaction processing (OLTP) and complex social networks with multiple n-to-n relationships. The Schism researchers created a graph that represented the database and workload, and then used the METIS algorithm to partition the graph.
But sharding alone does not guarantee that database scalability problems won't cause a site to fall over. An outage at Foursquare.com serves as a reminder to constantly monitor workloads and distribution of data — and to rebalance when necessary.

First point of great interest: there's a 256x4 PROM involved. Has anybody ever dumped that? From a photo of the motherboard, it looks like IC23, the TBP24SA10 just below the modulator.
Inputs appear to be:
- pin 2: the R channel
- pin 3: the G channel
- pin 4: the B channel
- pin 7: the sync channel, inverted (presumably so that high = sync?)
- pin 1: the output of a sync-triggered 74LS123 (presumably a back porch timer, for the colour burst?)
- pin 15: the output of a sync-triggered 74LS74 (a flip-flop; to achieve the alternating part of PAL?)
- pins 5 and 6: the output of an independent 74LS74 (presumably a free-running colour subcarrier phase counter?)
Just from pin counting, that would appear to imply a very discrete approximation of the colour subcarrier (two input lines, so four values?), with only sixteen possible composite output levels?
Is there anybody that could dump the TBP24SA10?

Absolute truth on reality and the ways of this world through corrupted governments, all religions and beliefs cannot be changed; and that is because all of this world have been misled and deceived – leaving only those few called out of this world to become totally disassociated with all worldly ways while learning truth from the 3rd heaven in spiritual ways seeming as foolishness to all natural minds; therefore biblical truth becomes available — but only for those it has been given to spread or absorb as a sponge always wanting more. The time has come to examine ourselves according to our fruits we shall be judged by. Live on greed and self want? Yehovah shall give to you in the same measure when you find yourself in calamity. Regarding the categories and tags used for this following vital information, all is covered in my links at the end. So if you do have any genuine concern for others, share over and over because what grows near is part of our written destiny.
Unknown to most Americans is a dark secret, and it's right under our noses. It's the reality of the existence of DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASES. These Underground bases get prominent play in dark rumors circulating about captured extraterrestrials and alien technology. The fringe culture rumors of underground alien-human shenanigans are in reality fed by leaks from questionable individuals, usually with intelligence connections. They are simply a ploy utility for the status quo. The whole captured-alien-hardware story is just a highly elaborate hoax to discredit those exposing the reality of these bases. They are also a cover for the wholesale looting of the federal treasury by the corrupt and cynical secret government. After Hurricane Katrina left the gulf coast region totally devastated, there were many witnesses coming forward with reports of UNMNTF and UNISF Troops working alongside the Army of the Republic of Mexico Soldiers in the New Orleans area. When the day of Martial Law comes in America, the UNISF and UNMNTF troops located in Central America, in the US, and Canada will be deployed to help round up the millions of Americans whose names appear on the CIA Red List and the CIA Blue List. These troops are Chinese, Russian, German, Polish, Japanese, Ukrainian, Saudi Arabian, Pakistani, Mexican, Honduran, Salvadorean and Chilean, and many are stationed in the deep underground military bases. When that day comes in America, do not expect the Fox News Network, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, BBC News 24 or Reuters to give a full or accurate account of the truth. Mass detentions in camps and the underground bases, along with mass executions will occur, like they have in many other countries like Cambodia, Russia, China, Germany, Poland, Armenia, Georgia, Belorussia, Hungary and the Ukraine over the past 100 years. The best option for many Americans will be to have a safe place in a remote area where you can hide.
The America you and your forefathers knew is coming to an end thanks to the Illuminati controlled secret government, and now they want America to become a Third World Nation ruled by a Fascist Police State, under their dictatorial control. This obviously cannot be achieved if America stays the way it is with many still being relatively well off, and still possessing firearms. Only the people of America can stop the coming American Holocaust from occurring. In America alone there are over 120 Deep Underground Military Bases situated under most major cities, US AFBs, US Navy Bases and US Army Bases, as well as underneath FEMA Military Training Camps and DHS control centers. There are also many Deep Underground Military Bases under Canada. Almost all of these bases are over 2 miles underground and have diameters ranging from 10 miles up to 30 miles across! They have been building these bases day and night, unceasingly, since the 1940s. These bases are basically large cities underground connected by high-speed magneto-levity trains that have speeds up to 1500 MPH. Several books have been written about this activity. The average depth of these bases is over a mile, and they again are basically whole cities underground. They have nuclear powered laser drilling machines that can drill a tunnel seven miles long in one day. (Note: The September, 1983 issue of Omni (Pg. 80) has a color drawing of 'The Subterrene,' the Los Alamos nuclear-powered tunnel machine that burrows through the rock, deep underground, by heating whatever stone it encounters into molten rock.) The Black Projects sidestep the authority of Congress, which as we know is illegal. There is much hard evidence out there. Many will react with fear, terror and paranoia, but you must snap out of it and wake up from the brainwashing your media pumps into your heads all day long. Are you going to be a rabbit in the headlights, or are you going to stand up and say enough is enough? The US Government through the NSA, DOD, CIA, DIA, ATF, ONI, US Army, US Marine Corp, FEMA and the DHS has spent in excess of 12 trillion dollars building the massive, covert infrastructure for the coming One World Government and New World Religion over the past 40 years.
There is the Deep Underground Military Base underneath Denver International Airport, which is over 22 miles in diameter and goes down over 8 levels. It's no coincidence that the CIA is relocating the headquarters of its domestic division, which is responsible for operations in the United States, from the CIA's Langley headquarters to Denver. Constructed in 1995, the government and politicians were hell bent on building this airport in spite of it ending up vastly overbudget. Charges of corruption, constant construction company changes, and mass firings of teams once they had built a section of their work was reported so that no "one" group had any idea what the blueprint of the airport was. Not only did locals not want this airport built nor was it needed, but everything was done to make sure it was built despite that. Masonic symbols and bizarre artwork of dead babies, burning cities and women in coffins comprise an extensive mural as well as a time capsule – none of which is featured in the airport's web site section detailing the unique artwork throughout the building. DIA serves as a cover for the vast underground facilities that were built there. There are reports of electronic/magnetic vibrations which make some people sick and cause headaches in others. There are acres of fenced-in areas which have barbed wire pointing into the area as if to keep things in, and small concrete stacks that resemble mini-cooling towers rise out of the acres of nowhere to apparently vent underground levels.The underground facility is 88.3 square mile deep. Basically this Underground Base is 8 cities on top of each other! The holding capacity of such leviathanic bases is huge. These city-sized bases can hold millions and millions of people, whether they are mind controlled, enslaved NWO World Army Soldiers or innocent and enslaved surface dwellers from the towns and cities of America and Canada.
There is Dulce Base, in New Mexico. Dulce is a small town in northern New Mexico, located above 7,000 feet on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. There is only one major motel and a few stores. It's not a resort town and it is not bustling with activity. But Dulce has a deep, dark secret. The secret is harbored deep below the brush of Archuleta Mesa. Function: Research of mind related functions, genetic experiments, mind control training and reprograming. There are over 3000 real-time video cameras throughout the complex at high-security locations (entrances and exits). There are over 100 secret exits near and around Dulce. Many around Archuleta Mesa, others to the south around Dulce Lake and even as far east as Lindrith. Deep sections of the complex connect into natural cavern systems. Level 1 – garage for street maintenance. Level 2 – garage for trains, shuttles, tunnel-boring machines and disc maintenance. Level 3 – everyone is weighed, in the nude, then given a jump suit uniform. The weight of the person is put on a computer I.D. card each day. Change in over three dollars requires a physical exam and X-ray. Level 4 – Human research in 'paranormal' areas – mental telepathy, mind control, hypnosis, remote viewing, astral traveling – etc. The technology is apparently here to allow them to know how to manipulate the 'Bioplasmic Body' Development of a laser weapon that can remotely cause burns and discomfort on it's target. They can lower your heartbeat with Deep Sleep 'Delta Waves,' induce a static shock, then reprogram, Via a Brain- Computer link. Level 5 -security is severe. Armed guards patrol constantly, and in addition to weight sensitive areas there (are) hand print and eye print stations. Here, is the device that powers the transfer of atoms. Level 6 – Level 6 is privately called 'Nightmare Hall'. It holds the genetic labs. Experiments done on fish, seals, birds, and mice that are vastly altered from their original forms.
Then there is the Greenbrier Facility, in White Sulfer Springs, West Virginia under the Greenbriar Resort. The Continuity of Government facility intended since 1962 to house the United States Congress, code-named Casper, is located on the grounds of the prestigious Greenbrier resort. The bunker is beneath the West Virginia wing, which includes a complete medical clinic. Construction of the facility, which began in 1959, required 2.5 years and 50,000 tons of concrete. The steel-reinforced concrete walls of the bunker, which is 20 feet below ground, are 2 feet thick. The facility includes separate chambers for the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as a larger room for joint sessions. These are located in the "Exhibit Hall" of the West Virginia Wing, which includes vehicular and pedestrian entrances which can be quickly sealed by blast doors. They don't even hide this one, and it's even a tourist attraction. The Underground vault was built to meet the needs of a Congress-in-hiding – in fact the hotel is a replica of the White House. The underground area has a chamber for the Senate, a chamber for the House and a massive hall for joint sessions. Although the hotel says it gives tours of the 112,000 square area daily, the installation still stands at the ready, its operators still working under cover at the hotel. The secrecy that has surrounded the site has shielded it both from public scrutiny and official reassessment.
Most Americans will not believe that an American Holocaust will happen until they see it happening with their own eyes. Till then, it is just another strange conspiracy theory for them to laugh at. This is no laughing matter. When it happens, it will be to late to stop it. President Bush has already said he will "use foreign troops" on the streets of America if another Islamic terrorist attack occurs, because there may not be enough US Military personnel to cope with the massive urban chaos and panic that will obviously ensue if it occurs. Also, the US Government has been involved covertly in the creation of an army of loyal, brainwashed soldiers of the future. They will have cybernetic and microchip implants and will fight anywhere in the world, without question, with total loyalty and without hesitation or fear. These soldiers were created at Brookhaven National Laboratories BNL, the National Ordinance Laboratories NOL and the Massachussetts Institute of Technology MIT, and covertly transferred under DOD and NSA control and planning. Many of these soldiers are stationed in the Deep Underground Military Bases like the one under Denver International Airport. All of this information has been researched, and it has taken much effort to fit it together properly. There are many mag-lev subterraenean train networks that stretch from the these complexes and go out to other underground bases. All soldiers working in these bases are microchipped and under total Psychotronic Mind Control.
Of the missing "Milk Carton People" that the FBI used to post on milk cartons, some were taken to these underground bases for genetic experimentation, microchipping, psychotronic mind control and cybernetic implantations for future use as brainwashed soldiers of the NWO. Every year in America hundreds of thousands of people go missing. The creation of a total Global Fascist Police State by the Illuminati will happen if we do not all wake up and see what is happening. I find it amazing that so many Americans, Scandanavians and Western Europeans refuse to believe that there are millions of UNISF and UNMNTF Troops in America. Under the Partnerships For Peace Program PFPP set up by President Bill Clinton in early 1993, thousands of troops a month have been coming into America. These Fascist criminals parade as our friends and leaders, while stripping away democratic rights that will be replaced with a Corporatist and Fascist dictatorship, unless people, and especially Americans, wake up now.

Underground Storage Tank Program
Quick Links
Back to Environmental Health
Page Navigation
Program Information Hazardous Materials Specialists working in the UST program: Workload: Over 300 UST's at 109 regulated facilities Authority: California Health & Safety Code chapter 6.7
The Yolo County Environmental Health Department regulates the construction, operation, repair and removal of underground storage tank systems (UST's) throughout Yolo County. The purpose of the UST program is to ensure that hazardous materials being stored in underground storage tanks are not released into the environment and/or groundwater.
Title 23 California Code of Regulations
Program Information
Hazardous Materials Specialists working in the UST program:
Over 300 UST's at 109 regulated facilities
California Health & Safety Code chapter 6.7
New UST Construction/Installation
| Tanks and associated piping systems are required to meet stringent construction standards designed to reduce the potential for product loss. All tanks installed after July 1, 2004 (or upgrades completed after this date that involve replacing the underground storage tank) must be continuously monitored using vacuum, pressure, or interstitial liquid level measurement methods. This holds true for ALL parts of the underground storage tank system including the interstitial space of the tank and product piping (including fill, vent, and vapor recovery piping) that are underground.
When an underground storage tank application is submitted, the permit review process will not begin until a contractor has been specified on the application. Contractors installing underground storage tank systems must submit documentation confirming their status as an ICC Certified UST Installer. Please note that this certification must be renewed every 24 months. For more information on the certification process please refer to the International Code Council homepage or to the State Water Resources Control Board Training Certification page.
The plan check process will begin once all required documentation has been submitted. Plan checks take an average of two (2) weeks. Re-submittals will be handled on a case-by-case basis and billed an hourly rate for the additional review time.
Final approval will be granted via an 'Authority to Construct' letter issued by the Yolo County Environmental Health Department. Copies of this letter will be sent to both the property owner and the contractor performing the work. It will list site-specific construction requirements and inspection scheduling requirements. No UST construction activities can proceed prior to the issuance of this letter. Upon receipt of your approval letter, work can begin. Additional permits may be required from other agencies including the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District , the local planning/building agency and/or the local fire district. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have received all permits necessary before beginning work. Once work commences, you must keep a copy of your 'Authority to Construct' letter on site at all times. Several inspections will be required during the installation or repair process. These inspections must be scheduled with a Yolo County Hazardous Materials Specialist at least 48 hours in advance. Inspections may be scheduled by calling (530) 666-8646.
UST Installation Application packets can be downloaded here. For fee requirements please refer to the Yolo County Fee Schedule
| The Yolo County Environmental Health Division classifies underground storage tank repairs, modifications and upgrades into one of three categories: major, minor, or no permit necessary. These categories are determined by the scope of work and the number of inspections necessary. A major repair/modification involves more than one inspection and may include soil and/or ground water sampling. Minor repairs/modifications require only one inspection and do not involve soil and/or ground water sampling. For assistance in determining the classification of repairs to be made to your underground storage tank system please refer to our Repair Classifications guidance. For fee requirements please refer to the Yolo County Fee Schedule.
For work not requiring a permit, contractors should contact the Yolo County Environmental Health UST inspector assigned to the facility where work is to be completed to determine if an inspection is necessary. Although some repairs do not require a permit, Yolo County requests that after completing the work a "Description of Repair Work Completed"form is submitted to our office within 5 business days. Please note that any contractor performing work on an underground storage tank system must be prepared to submit documentation verifying their certification as an ICC Certified UST Service Technician. For more information on the certification process please refer to the International Code Council homepage or to the State Water Resources Control Board Training Certification page
|Underground storage tanks may be removed for a variety of reasons including the discovery of a leak in the system, property redevelopment, or discovery of a tank that was not known to exist. A permit is required to remove any underground storage tank in Yolo County, regardless of the size of the tank.
It is the policy of the Yolo County Environmental Health Department to have all tanks permanently removed, rather than abandoned in place, whenever possible. To download an application for a UST Removal please click here Applications requesting to abandon an underground storage tank in place will be thoroughly reviewed and will only be approved in cases where removal of the tank will cause damage to an existing building or structure. Yolo County also does endorse the onsite cutting and cleaning of an underground storage tank due to the inherent danger of the operation. To download an application packet to abandon an underground storage tank in place please click here. For fee requirements for both permanent removals and tank abandonment in place please refer to the Yolo County Fee Schedule
Yolo County also allows the temporary abandonment of an underground storage tank system for a period not to exceed one year. Temporary abandonment extensions for a period of one additional year will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. While temporarily abandoned, the UST system must be disconnected from the power source and may not receive fuel deliveries. To download an application packet to temporarily abandon an underground storage tank system please click here. For fee requirements for both permanent removals and tank abandonment in place, please refer to the Yolo County Fee Schedule. A representative of the Yolo County Environmental Health Division must witness all UST removals and temporary abandonment. These inspections must be scheduled a minimum of 48 hours in advance. To schedule an inspection please call us at (530) 666-8646.
|The Yolo County Environmental Health Division issues an annual operating permit to facilities operating underground storage tanks. This permit is mailed to the facility-specified address each year. Operating an underground storage tank without a valid permit is a violation of State Law. Operators should ensure that their valid permit is displayed in a conspicuous location within their facility. Permits will not be issued unless a facility is in full compliance with all laws and regulations, and all fees have been paid. If you have not received a copy of your current permit, please contact us at (530) 666-8646 to discuss possible reasons for this.
State law mandates that all underground storage tank systems be inspected on an annual basis. The Yolo County Environmental Health Division generally conducts these inspections during annual testing required by the state. Facilities should make all attempts to have a site representative available during these times to meet with the inspector. For guidance on how to prepare for a UST inspection please refer to the "UST Self-Audit Checklist"
|When a leak is found to have occurred from underground tank and/or piping systems, the owner or operator of the facility is required to take immediate steps to stop the leak from continuing. Once this step has been completed an investigation is required to determine the extent of soil and/or ground water contamination. Based on the findings of the investigation, a determination is made whether active clean up, monitoring, or additional investigation is necessary. The lead agency for oversight of these cases can be either the Yolo County Environmental Health Division or the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board.
We maintain an electronic list of known leaky sites and have files with detailed information about most of these sites in Yolo County. Our files are open for a free public review on Wednesday mornings and by appointment at other times for a small fee. By calling ahead and letting us know which facility files you would like to review, we can serve you better by having the files ready and space reserved when you arrive. For further information on public files reviews including information about setting up an appointment please click here.
UST Designated Operator Information & Training Requirements
|Beginning January 1, 2005 all underground storage tank facilities were required to provide proof that they have a Designated Operator for their facility. A Designated Operator is an individual designated by the UST operator to have responsibility for training facility employees on the UST system and conducting a monthly inspection of the UST facility. If your facility changes designated operators you must notify the Yolo County Environmental Health Division in writing. Forms are available here.
The designated operator must:
The training provided by the Designated UST Operator to the facility employees must be conducted within 30 days of hire and every 12 months thereafter and must include at minimum:
Facility operators should maintain on site the following:
Who can serve as a Designated UST Operator?
|Persons wishing to act as a Designated UST Operator are required to possess a current California UST System Operator certificate. In addition, it is the responsibility of any person wishing to act as a Designated UST Operator to ensure that they comply with other applicable state, federal or local requirements. The Designated UST Operator could be the facility owner, operator, employee, service technician, or a third party. For more information on the certification process please refer to the International Code Council homepage
What paperwork am I required to maintain on-site?
|For a list of requirements that apply to underground storage tank facilities including a list of documentation that is required to be maintained on-site please refer to the "UST Self-Audit Checklist"
What testing am I required to perform on my UST system?
Underground storage tank systems in the state of California are required to complete different types of testing depending on when the system was installed and the capabilities of the monitoring system. The best way to determine what testing your facility is required to complete is to call us and speak to the underground storage tank inspector assigned to your facility. We can be reached Monday thru Friday 8:00am – 5:00pm at (530) 666-8646.
I received a letter stating that I have testing coming due. Why did I receive this?
The Yolo County Environmental Health Division sends out automatically generated letters 60 days and again 30 days before any testing and/or financial responsibility documents are due for your facility. These letters are sent as a courtesy reminder to help you schedule your testing on time to avoid potentially costly violations.
Where can I get a list of licensed UST contractors?
Yolo County Environmental Health has a list of contractors that are licensed to do various types of work. This list is not an endorsement of any of the contractors or companies listed. For a copy of this list please click here.

And after looking at natural phenomena, Khouri's second collection, "Soft Deconstruction," has a similarly significant theme – the contrast between the outer, physical realm and the inner world of thoughts. Designs such as the Self Portrait earrings play on the shared attributes of different life forms, as the drop earrings are designed to resemble skeletons that become amorphous beings. "My designs and creativity are very much linked to my emotional state," says Khouri. "In each piece I create something physical out of abstract and conceptual things like feelings, which drives my passion."

BizBrief: Masons rent out Mall store
After more than a year sitting empty, the storefront on the east end of the Downtown Mall that used to house Order from Horder has a tenant. Signs announce BCreative is coming soon and tout "mostly funny stuff for under $10."
The 3,160-square-foot space originally was renting in the $18- to $20-a-square foot range, says James Dickerson, president of the Masonic Temple corporation that owns the space. Now BCreative has a month-to-month lease in the $14- to $15-a-square-foot range.
The 400-block on East Main Street has been blighted with unleased real estate for almost a year. On the corner, the former A&N has been empty since it served as Obama headquarters in 2008, and next door, the huge 8,200-square-foot space that formerly housed Sage Moon Gallery is now available in smaller units.
"We're going through a market adjustment," says Dickerson, who also works for Remax. "I think the commercial section will take longer.

MDRA (Minnesota Distance Running Association). Last year I co-coached the Beginning Woman's Run Group for the first time and absolutely loved it. I felt honored when Kathy called me this winter to ask me if I'd be interested in co-coaching a Woman's Boot camp this spring.
We begin our class in Edina tomorrow night; 6-730. It is a boot camp for women-we'll have a group for newbees: never run a step; wannabees: run occasionally, but have never gotten past a slow jog and gottabees: have run and raced but want to improve speed. We'll meet for 8 weeks. Each session consists of a 30-45 minute workout and a speaker giving a brief talk. We are even taking a field trip to TC Running Co. I'll be bringing some cash along for that trip.
If you are interested you may show up at the Edina Community Center at 6 PM tomorrow. You can register on the spot! We have 29 registered so far and would love to have you :)
I can't wait!

IBM doesn't let its employees use Siri, out of concern Apple may store and use sensitive IBM data. This decision on IBM's part underscores an important business concern that companies of all sizes — not just behemoths like IBM — either have or should have.
Apple's data usage policy that governs how it treats Siri inquiries says that Apple can use the information it collects to, among other things, improve the service. That's a pretty broad grant of authority. Because the system that makes Siri available is so complex and multifaceted, Apple could reasonably justify extracting and using the information contained in just about any question people ask Siri. When that information comes from another major player in the competitive space, the implications of the appropriation of proprietary information become obvious.
IBM's big concern is likely focused squarely on the protection of its trade secrets. State law provides the contours of trade secrets law, so the elements vary from state to state. But in general, a company can enforce its exclusive rights to possess and use information that (1) gives that company a competitive advantage, and (2) which is subject to efforts to keep secret. That latter part — keeping the information secret — is a big reason for nondisclosure agreements, password protected servers, and sensible restrictions on employee use of third party technologies (like social media and search tools like Siri).

Player of the Year
Baines has been consistently a stand out performer for 3 seasons now but this was his best yet. Comfortably our most creative player, laying on 63 goal scoring opportunities for teammates resulting in 11 assists, outscoring most of his team mates…plus his cracking music blog!……Where would Everton have been without him? Leon Osman also deserves a mention for his form in the second half of the season and Cahill for being the only player who looked like scoring before Christmas.
Match of the Season
Most fans will agree that the 5-3 win againstBlackpoolwas the best game of the season in terms of pure excitement. Holloway's men ran the Blues ragged at the back but we played some great stuff also with Saha smashing 4 and Beckford scoring a great goal also in truly biblical weather conditions. Even James Beattie played well. Never can I remember a game so open at Goodison. The win up at Eastlands was also superb from a defensive standpoint.
This one goes to Jermaine Beckford. The striker scored a goal every 164 minutes, and got a shot on target every 57 minutes. In comparison Saha scores a goal every 196 minutes with Cahill scorers a goal every 224 minutes. The league benchmark for ruthless finishing is Robin Van Persie who gets a goal every 98 minutes
Presser of the Year
Marouanne Fellaini wins this award hands down. Making a successful challenge every 30 minutes he is comfortably our most aggressive player. He also makes more interceptions and fouls per game than anyone else. A mention also goes to Distin who averages 10 clearances per game– comfortably the most at the club.
Passer of the Season
Despite having a poor season Mikel Arteta's stats add up to him maintaining this mantle as the clubs best passer. With a pass completion of 83% (comfortably above the club average of 76%) the Spaniard creates 2.03 chances per game for team-mates, just ahead of Baines, although the chances Baines has created for colleagues have a higher conversion rate than Arteta (11v 5) The stats don't really tell the tale her though, as Arteta for the most part has been disappointing in centre mid and probably played his best game when shifted out to the wing against Newcastle
The Stringer Bell Mastermind Schemer Award
Leon Osman gets this award for his second half of the season contribution. The midfielder has received unwarranted abuse in the past – perhaps for not having the physique of Papa Bouba Diop. Osman created 24 goal scoring opportunities and registered 44 shots, he also totalled 5 assists and 4 goals. Osman also makes the joint most amount of dribbles per game (1.6) along with Seamus Coleman
Goal of the season
His free kick up at Spurs was better but in terms of timing and occasion his whipped effort in the Shed end atChelsea in the last minute of the cup tie was superb. Over the campaign this was by far the best day on the road for this Blue.
The Pauly Walnuts Award for Psychotic Tendency
Jonny Heitinga had a pretty tepid campaign barring a decent end of season run, but his barge on the vile Ashley Cole as he ran up for his shoot out spot kick reminded us that the fist waving Dutchman can have a really competitive streak when he applies himself.
Comedy Opponent of the Year Award
Tough call this one. James Collins is one of the poorest centre backs I've seen in a while for Villa. Whitehead and Delap from Stoke are also comedy performers in terms of midfielders who rarely ever touch the ball. Fabregas and Wenger also come into contention for their juvenile antics during and after the game at The Emirates. This year though the award goes to Jamie Carragher for his sublime attempt at wing play in the Goodison derby. Even Paul McShane couldn't have pulled this one off. One observer astutely commented it was the equivalent of an 'out of control shopping trolley'
Tactical Move of the season:
The use of Coleman as a 'tornanti' to man mark Ashley Cole and then give him just as much problems up the other end of the pitch was superb and showed how mature a defensive shift Coleman can do. The Irishman did a similar job on Bale down atWhite Hart Lane also with the Welshman dominated so much that he ended up being switched to the opposite flank.
The Mikel Madar Loose Canon Award
Fellaini gets this award for one of the most needless red cards in living memory & subsequent ban against Bolton back in October. Previously unbeaten in 6, the Blues would thus sink into a miserable period of the season back in November.
Opponent of the Year Award:
Despite the general quality of the division not being up to the standard of previous years, there was still some big displays from stand out performers this year at Goodison. Nani was superb back in September for Man U, Holden from Bolton and Vaughan from Blackpool also caught the eye home and away this year with energy and quality from midfield and Bent's movement and goals where also textbook. David Silva gets the award though for his first half display at Goodison this year when he was virtually unplayable, floating around the pitch with a sublime first touch and great vision
For those who missed the first part of the season review, you can view it here
This is the final end of season post – previously I was going to do a 3rd but it was getting a bit much stats wise and I'm sure everyone wants to move on from this season now! If there are any stats I haven't covered that you wanted to know, just ask and I'll look into it for you.
Thanks very much for reading the blog this season – reader numbers have gone up a hell of a lot since back in September and I have really appreciated your comments and feedback along the way. There will probably be some summer posting/ranting but the season basically ends here.
Up the Toffees!!

Grammy-winning Tejano star Emilio Navaira has died in South Texas. He was 53.
Police in New Braunfels said in a statement Tuesday that preliminary results indicate the entertainer died of natural causes.
Officers were dispatched to a home in the city Monday night after relatives reported finding Navaira not breathing.
The latest news from around North Texas.
He was pronounced dead at a hospital in New Braunfels, 20 miles northeast of Navaira's hometown of San Antonio.
An autopsy will be conducted.
In Fort Worth, fans held a candlelight vigil Tuesday night.
"He was about the people," said Texican Radio owner Rachel Ramirez, who also organized the vigil. "What made him smile was the people who enjoyed his music."
[NATLu002du002dDO NOT USE] In Memoriam: Influential People We've Lost This Year
Navaira, who was known to his fans as simply Emilio, was critically injured in 2008 when he was catapulted through the windshield of his tour bus in an accident in the Houston area in 2008. Navaira later pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated.
Navaira's last performance in the United States was at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth.
"I don't think there are words," said Billy Bob's marketing director Chris Spinks. "Life is just a precious thing, and you try to savor every moment with him and just be glad we had the opportunity to spend that time with him and enjoy that last performance with him."
His name is on the honky tonk's wall of fame, with his handprints frozen in cement. Spinks explained not everyone gets to leave their mark at the famous bar.
"You're a legend," he said, of the artists whose handprints are on the walls. "You cemented your legacy here."
Navaira won a 2002 Grammy for Best Tejano Album, "Acuerdate."

Adjustments still being made to NH-Maine Memorial Bridge
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) � The contractor working on the new Memorial Bridge connecting New Hampshire and Maine says it hopes to have more information next week on a timetable for opening it.
Archer Western Contractors is making adjustments to the balancing of the span and counterweights. Work on paving the bridge decks and approaches is expected to take place this week. Work also is continuing on the installation of platforms and railings.
Archer Western says an opening date cannot be set until shortly before it actually occurs.
The bridge will connect Portsmouth to Kittery, Maine.

A word of advice: This is exactly what it says it is, and it's not for the faint of heart. It took place in Berlin, but we haven't determined when. We'll say it only once: This kind of sucks.
In case you were wondering, the car in the video is definitely a 911. Everything else is a bit fuzzy: The video didn't seem to exist on the Internet until recently, but the subtitles claim that the car in the footage — which looks like a 996 — was brand-new at the time of filming. The car appears to have no engine. That's about all we know. Anyone got anything else?
Hey, guy who climbed on top of the car at the end: You are an asshat.
This sort of thing has been done before. A radio station in Finland once dropped a Boxster from a crane, and most Porsche enthusiasts are familiar with the photo of factory engineers dropping a 904 on its nose as a form of crash testing. Still, the lack of novelty doesn't make it any less disturbing.
Naturally, there's a very small part of us that watches this with staggering indifference. We have no idea what that means.
(Hat tip to Jeff.)

This is Inka Essenhigh. Here's the Chuck Close version.
Inka gave a lecture at the VMFA last year and one piece of advice she had still sticks in my mind, especially when considering her own work. Talking about her abrupt switch from enamels to oil she said she did it because she knew that she wanted to eventually start painting in oil and decided there was no reason to put it off; she should just switch immediately. I'm not sure if I'm wording this very well but the gist of the advice was that if you can see yourself doing something differently in five or ten years you should make that change now.
Today on Franklin Einspruch's Artblog they are discussing Richard Serra's work; frequent commenter oldpro states "like Kelley and Johns and so many of our current art culture heros his {Serra's} virtue is to have evolved a "signature" style and stuck with it, unaffected by the changes inspiration always forces on art, for decades. It really is soulless stuff... ". I'm pretty sure that oldpro is not an Essenhigh fan but going by his definition above I don't think he could call her work soulless.
All of the following are recent Inka Essenhigh paintings: Ice Cliff(2005), Bullies(2005), Brush with Death(2004). This newer work has so much more emotional depth than the earlier stuff - much richer. Haircut(2005) is so sweet, almost like a Norman Rockwell. The earlier work had an art-nouveau futuristic feel but much of the latest stuff seems to be looking back to American art of the 30's and earlier. I'm thinking of some members of the Ashcan School like George Bellows, Everett Shinn, and especially the under-known William Glackens (click on the title of an image and then click on the thumbnail to enlarge), and also Ryder and Rockwell; I wonder how much she and husband Steve Mumford influence each other and share sources.
RELATED: The VMFA recently acquired a 2002 Essenhigh, Green Wave, which Jennifer Reeves describes thusly at the end of this short essay on Essenhigh's work.
"One gigantic eyeball hovers among huge waves, in a recent painting, wherein a figure attempts to rise at the shoreline. This eyeball clues us in to the powerful undercurrents of imagination ready to be harvested from our very souls. Refusing to be beached along the shores of the unconscious, Essenhigh plunges headlong into its ocean of mysteries. May we take on the high waves with her, navigating between the dangerous undertows, devoutly awash in the grace of blue greens."
P.S. I had a great studio visit with her; she really narrowed in on some things, very sensitive and helpful.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks finished modestly higher on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 up for a fourth session, although volume was one of the year's lowest on the day ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Investors welcomed news that a ceasefire was declared to end the flare-up in violence between Israel and the Palestinians, though the lack of a deal to release emergency aid for Greece limited the market's advance.
Investors also remained anxious about the mandatory tax increases and spending cuts that would go into effect in the new year if a deal is not reached to prevent it - known as the "fiscal cliff" - though policymakers are not expected to get back to negotiations until after Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday.
About 4.76 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT, compared with year-to-date daily average volume of 6.5 billion shares. On Thursday, the U.S. stock market will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, and on Friday, it will close early at 1 p.m. (1800 GMT).
"Usually on patriotic holidays, which I think Thanksgiving is one, we often see a rally on a light volume. So I wouldn't be surprised if we see that on Friday, if there is no major news," said J.J. Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade in Chicago.
"So far this week, we have heard good news in terms of (the) fiscal cliff. Both sides seem to be playing nice, but we will start to see big day-to-day swings (in the market) from next week, when we get more details."
Greece's international lenders failed again to reach a deal to release emergency aid to the debt-saddled country. Lenders will try again next Monday, but Germany signaled that significant divisions remain.
A truce between Israel and Hamas gave stocks some support around midday after Egypt announced a ceasefire would come into effect later in the day.
Fears that the fiscal cliff discussions in Washington could be drawn out or yield no resolution have been at the forefront of investors' minds in recent weeks. Combined with concerns about the euro zone's continued debt problems, the worries had driven a sell-off that has taken more than 5 percent off the S&P 500 since Election Day in early November.
Positive comments from U.S. politicians that they will work to find common ground have helped the S&P 500 recoup some of that loss in recent sessions.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI gained 48.38 points, or 0.38 percent, to end at 12,836.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX added 3.22 points, or 0.23 percent, to finish at 1,391.03. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC rose 9.87 points, or 0.34 percent, to close at 2,926.55.
St Jude Medical STJ.N shares tumbled 12.2 percent to $31.37 after an inspection report from health regulators raised new safety concerns about one of the company's leads that are used with implantable defibrillators, analysts said.
A modest gain in International Business Machines (IBM.N) helped the Dow outperform the other indexes. IBM rose 0.6 percent to $190.29.
Dow component Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N) climbed 2 percent to close on Wednesday at $11.94, recouping a small slice of Tuesday's loss, when the stock slid to a 10-year low after the computer and printer maker reported a $5 billion charge related to "accounting improprieties" at Autonomy, a British software company that HP bought last year. At least two brokerages have cut their ratings on HP's stock, while analysts at several firms lowered their price targets.
Salesforce.com Inc (CRM.N) jumped 8.8 percent to $158.78 a day after the business software provider reported results that beat Wall Street's expectations for the third quarter and maintained its outlook for the rest of the year.
But Deere & Co (DE.N) dragged on the S&P 500 after the world's largest farm equipment maker reported a weaker-than-expected quarterly profit. Its stock lost 3.7 percent to $82.83.
The market did not derive much direction from the day's economic data, with initial jobless claims falling last week, as expected.
Other data showed manufacturing picked up at its quickest pace in five months in November, while the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final reading for November showed the consumer sentiment index improved only slightly from the previous month.
The focus will likely turn to retailers on Friday as analysts try to assess how strong the holiday shopping season will be this year, according to Kurt Brunner, portfolio manager at Swarthmore Group in Philadelphia.
The S&P 500 retail sector index .SPXRT was up 0.6 percent.
Holiday shopping traditionally kicks off the day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, as stores offer deals and discounts to lure consumers.
Advancers beat decliners by a ratio of about 2 to 1 on both the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq.

Area and Setting
Table of Contents
See the Areas @ 'Souls Wiki for complete information.
'Souls takes place across the eastern Canadian Maritime Provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick. However, the 'Souls fictional version of Eastern Canada bears some stark differences from reality. For example, Cape Breton is an island in real life; in 'Souls, it is a peninsula. New Brunswick also has a lot more landmass at 'Souls than in reality! So reference our map instead of a real one. ;)
Click to enlarge! We offer a comprehensive Maps page on the 'Souls Wiki. Only the shown areas in the game map are playable.
Proximity to the Atlantic Ocean lends a humid environment with significant precipitation; 'Souls comprises the most active storm region in Canada. The weather consists of skies that are often cloudy or overcast, frequent coastal fog and marked changeability of weather from day to day. Maritime areas tend to be very foggy, with an average of 200 foggy days recorded per year in Nova Scotia. The significant fog found in the Maritime region is due to the interaction of the warm Gulf Stream currents with the much colder Labrador Current; the spring and late summer have more fog than the fall and winter.
Generally, Maritime climate and temperature is more moderate than mainland Canada. The cold winters and warm summers are moderated by ocean influences, though Maritime climates also have a wide but not extreme temperature range. The coastal areas are generally cooler in summer and warmer in winter than the inland regions.
The Maritime provinces are marked by evidence of glaciation -- eskers, kettle lakes, and sandurs are just a few of the features found in the region evincing glaciation. The Bay of Fundy plays a major role in shaping the coastlines -- unique features such as sea stacks and raised beaches dominate the bay shores.
The Appalachian Mountains have hilly, poor soil; the coastal Maritime areas are well-fed by the rich tides of the bay and the vast number of inland waterways throughout the region. The inner highlands have acidic soils that support expansive forests, but are not suited for human agriculture; the coastal plains have richer soils.
Much of the terrain that now makes up 'Souls was unpopulated prior to the human apocalypse. The population centers of Nova Scotia were clustered around Halifax and its sprawl; New Brunswick's concentration of people centered around the riverways and the Atlantic coast. Inland Nova Scotia and northwestern New Brunswick both consist of vast swaths of forests, many of them protected wilderness areas or national parks prior to humanity's demise.
Broadleaf and mixed forests -- that is, forests containing both conifers (piney-type trees that remain green year-round) and deciduous (losing leaves in winter) make up most of the Maritime region. Bogs, lowlands, and other marshy areas are commonplace -- the Drifter Bay area, along with the Waste, is exemplary of these marshes.
See the Flora guide for complete information.
Conifers include Red Pine, Balsam Fir, Paper Birch, red spruce, which northwards, is replaced by white spruce. Deciduous trees include Sugar Maple, Beech, Hemlock, White Ash, and Red Maple.
See the Fauna guide for complete information.
American Black Bear, Moose, Red Fox, Snowshoe Hare, North American Porcupine, Fisher, North American Beaver, Bobcat, American Marten, Muskrat, Raccoon; an extremely high number of birds, ranging from predatory raptors to songbirds to shorebirds and everything in between.
