Race 7 Day 6: Unpredictable Conditions Test Fleet
Forever Tropical Paradise Race Race 7 Day 6
Race 7: The Forever Tropical Paradise Race has served up some of the most unexpected conditions of the 2017-18 edition so far and unforecasted weather conditions have continued to challenge the fleet during the sixth day of racing.
After PSP Logistics took first position yesterday, Sanya Serenity Coast has regained top place and after nearly a week of racing and leaving the Doldrums Corridor, Skipper Wendy Tuck reports wind speeds of 35 knots overnight: "We are now sailing again so happy days, but the wind has come in a bit more than forecasted so we have been busy."
PSP Logistics sits in second place today and is followed by Visit Seattle in third place and Garmin which sits in in fourth despite initially overshooting the Doldrums Corridor. Garmin Skipper Gaëtan Thomas explains: "Everything was going alright until we were a few hundred metres from the end of the Doldrums Corridor and our instruments recording the waypoint bugged.
"Turns out we had passed the line 20 minutes previously, so we had to gybe back and we started again in the exact position where we did cross it."
In fifth place, but only separated from the frontrunner by around thirteen nautical miles (nm), Dare To Lead has also completed the Doldrums Corridor and has been considering the best tactical move going forward towards the Scoring Gate. Speaking from on board, Dale says: "Exiting the Doldrums Corridor, the routing options are extremely complicated. If you turn west towards China, you will have headwinds for a long, long, time. You could also head north to the more favourable North Easterly trades, but this means crossing a massive windless area of high pressure.
"If you get tempted by the more consistent beating, you are heading towards a trap where you will not be able to cross north. All of this whilst worrying about the hopes of your team. Too many decisions to make!"
Nasdaq Skipper Rob Graham, in sixth, is looking forward to getting back underway later today: "Nasdaq is almost ready to resume sailing at the northern end of our Doldrums Corridor. The past few hours have actually been quite windy again, but all the wind (with its accompanying swell) has been on the nose, so we've had to continue motoring in order to get to the line on time."
The Qingdao team holds seventh place today and has also been experiencing the unforecasted conditions. Skipper Chris Kobusch comments: "Instead of the forecasted south easterlies in the range of 10-15 knots, we had north westerlies blowing 20-30 knots. Earlier on we had gusts of over 40 knots and quite a steep short swell, which made life on board pretty uncomfortable."
Unicef, currently in eighth, has made the boldest tactical decision over the last 24 hours, choosing to head east of the remote Feni Islands as the rest of the fleet keeps them to starboard. On board, Skipper Bob Beggs reports that the team is refocusing on the race ahead but is looking forward to getting to Qingdao where the temperatures will be significantly cooler.
Towards the back of the fleet, Liverpool 2018 takes ninth place with HotelPlanner.com, in tenth, some 55nm behind and eleventh placed GREAT Britain another 50nm further back.
Looking ahead, the next big tactical decision for the fleet will be deciding on the best approach to head towards the upcoming Scoring Gate. It will then be interesting, given such a compact front half of the fleet, to note which teams decide to break away from the most direct route of the rhumb line to seek the bonus points.
Teams should also notice the unpredictable weather forecast, which has made tactical decisions so difficult, ease off as weather will become more obviously driven by the larger systems and not by more localised heat effects in the Solomon Sea.
Keep up to date with progress as teams exit the Doldrums Corridor via the Clipper Race Viewer and hear more from the Skippers and crew on the Team Pages.
Race 7: The Forever Tropical Paradise Race will finish in Sanya Serenity Marina in Sanya, and the fleet is expected to arrive between 21 – 25 February after roughly 23-27 days at sea. Although the finish line is still almost 4000 nautical miles away, crews are excited to explore Sanya and all it has to offer during the stopover, and you can find out more here.

I just read Andrew Thomas' "review" of Ubuntu 9.10 and I must say...WTF!
It seems to me that these days anyone can become a tech journalist.
...Linux is like a really ugly baby: only its mother could possibly love it. So, yet again, it's a case of not even close and definitely no cigar.
I just happened upon this site looking for information on xsplash, and read this article and linked site.
Thanks for posting this. I got a chuckle!
That was the most nonsensical article I have read in the whole of 2009. It just showed clearly how ignorant the author is and how dumb the site is to have made him publish such amateurish gibberish on it. Ugh!!!!!


We Have Been Adopted… by a "Fat" Cat! | LIVING IN THE PACIFIC - Philippines to Guam... One Day at a Time! We Have Been Adopted… by a "Fat" Cat! – LIVING IN THE PACIFIC – Philippines to Guam… One Day at a Time!
My wife and I reside in a condominum complex here on Guam and because my wife talks to animals (Doolittle), they all tend to congregate at this very spot on Earth. Well, they don't actually talk to her, but she's been known to carry on a conversation now and then with residents of the animal kingdom. She's always been drawn to animals and they are to her also. If any of you are familiar with Ellie Mae Clampett from the 1960's hit show Beverly Hillbillies, my wife would be the Filipina version of her.
Anyway, when we first moved in to our unit, she felt sorry for the handful of pigeons that hang-out around the complex so she began feeding them in the morning (with our previous days leftover rice). They now will sit on the building's roof overhang just after sunrise where they can actually view Teri through the kitchen window. And there they will patiently wait for her to exit the condo with the goods. When she does, they will all fly down to the parking lot and wait for her. It has become a routine and is interesting to watch, to say the least. I think though that the building manager is becoming a little concerned since the once handful of birds has now grown to over 30. Oops!
Patiently awaiting their next meal!
On another wildlife front, there are a couple of stray cats that live here in our complex. One of them is totally wild and local resident and friend Charlie feeds her outside his door everyday. Now she just camps-out there outside his condo. Then there is the other cat, who is super friendly, who makes his normal rounds around the complex to see what the residents might be offering. I'll say this… he never goes hungry! Recently when Typhoon Mangkhut was upon us, we felt concerned for his safety so we took him in to give him shelter from the wind and rains. We had already determined that he must have once belonged to a condo resident who abandoned him when they moved. He is definitly not timid or shy and he is litter-box oriented. He has also been neutered. It was an easy decision to let 'him' adopt us. And he did!
Anyway, because we now are part-time caretakers of a large and friendly male cat (with a "Garfield" attitude), my wife decided to name him. Some of the local residents have been heard calling him "Big Face" but she insisted on another name. And of all the names she could have came up with, she decided on "Fat Boy," which obviously fits him because he weighs in at 16 lbs! He comes and goes when he wants and we are basically just the front door operators. He will show up early before lunch on a hot day so he can take a long afternoon nap. Some evenings he might want to come inside when it is raining and he will take his spot and sleep all night long. He sleeps so so soundly he even snores on occasion. He knows he has never had it so good.
He comes and goes at will (and sometimes at my wife's will), and because we watch out for him, we call him home on occasion – and he heeds the call most of the time. But I've learned that I need to be somewhat cautious and careful when calling for him. One day when standing on our front balcony, I called out "Hey Fat Boy" before I noticed a few of our 'diet challenged' residents walking around on the grounds and in the parking lot. When I realized all eyes quickly turned to me, it was just a little embarrasing. How will I will ever live this down I'm not sure. If only they could learn that I was calling the cat, and not harrassing them, things would be okay. I told Teri she can call out for the cat from now on. And in the future, to please run all name checks through me for approval! "Fat Boy" don't seem to be bothered much by the name though.

Necrotizing fasciitis: manifestations, microbiology and connection with black tar heroin
J Forensic Sci. 2007 Jul;52(4):920-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1556-4029.2007.00452.x. Epub 2007 May 25.

1 King County Medical Examiner's Office, 325 Ninth Avenue, HMC Box 359792, Seattle, WA 98104-2499, USA.
A 10-year review of records of the King County Medical Examiner's Office found 87 deaths due to necrotizing fasciitis and related necrotizing soft tissue infections. In 64 of these cases there were sufficient details to provide an analysis of the manifestations, microbiology, and source of infection. One half (32) of the cases were due to injection of black tar heroin, the nearly exclusive form of heroin in the Northwest United States. Of those due to black tar injection, 24 were clostridial infections with various species represented, eight of which were Clostridium sordellii. Of the 32 cases not associated with drug injection, streptococcal species predominated, with Streptococcus pyogenes isolated in 14 cases. Only three of 32 cases not associated with injection drug use were clostridial infections. These differences were statistically significant. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from 14 cases; two were methicillin-resistant strains. Overall, 28 of the 64 cases were polymicrobial infections, 15 due to black tar injection and 13 not associated with drug injection. This study supports the conclusion that necrotizing fasciitis due to black tar heroin injection is predominantly a clostridial disease, and in this way differs significantly from necrotizing fasciitis due to other causes.

Q: Run / Stop / Change app working on elastic beanstalk I have an app deployed through pipeline to elastic beanstalk - ec2 and I know it resides inside /var/app/current. And now I have to run some script there so I need to stop it, change it and finally run again. Can I do that using terminal? (connected via ssh with success)

A: It's difficult to say how to do it over ssh. If you do accomplish it in this way you will have to manually run this script each time this app is deployed. Beanstalk will start up the application with a clean state every time it is redeployed.
I believe its best to make running this script as part of the pipeline that deploys to beanstalk. The hooks section of the AppSpec can be used to setup your EC2 environment before your app starts up.

2011 Draft Prospect Profile - Jan Vesely
By Rook6980 Mar 25, 2011, 3:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: 2011 Draft Prospect Profile - Jan Vesely
Editor's note: I was able to purchase a season pass for EuroLeague.TV - The pass allows me to watch most EuroLeague games live, and I can watch highlights and recorded full games for selected match ups. One thing I've noticed about EuroLeague play is that the referees allow bit more physical play. The games seems to feature many fewer isolation plays and much more cutting and passing. The Pick and Roll play is a staple of many teams, but the pick-and-pop is rare. Also, there is much less questioning of the referees... and a more deferential treatment of the referees by both players and Coaches. Players raise their hand when a foul is called. Generally speaking, the players themselves aren't nearly as athletic as NBA players - but they play a more "team" oriented brand of basketball.
Here is my second draft prospect profile for International players.
Jan Vesely (6'11" SF/PF for KK Partizan Belgrade)
Jan (pronounced Yon) Vesely burst onto the scene in his 2008-2009 EuroLeague Rookie season as a rail-thin 18-year-old, where he averaged almost five points and more than three rebounds per game. But those 5 points and 3 rebounds came with tremendous energy and activity, but more importantly, with a combination of size, speed, explosiveness and athleticism not usually seen in EuroLeague play. He quickly became a huge fan favorite.
During his second year, Partizan Coach Dusko Vujosevic decided to develop Vesely as a small forward, because of his quickness, speed and obvious perimeter skills. Vesely blossomed in his second year, becoming a star, and helping Partizan make it to the Final 4 In EuroLeague play in the 2009-2010 season. In the Final 16, playoffs and final four (the equivalent of the NBA Playoffs), Vesely averaged 10 points (57% shooting, 41% from three), 6.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
Even though he was considered by many to be a sure Lottery pick, Vesely decided not to enter the 2010 NBA draft. Instead he decided to play another year for Partizan; probably a smart decision - given his weaknesses at the time (shooting, defending). He went back to Europe and worked on his deficiencies.
This year, even though there is not a huge increase in his scoring or rebounding numbers, we see a more complete player. He is no longer limited to scoring on the break or on alley oops. His individual and help defense, a weakness in the past, has greatly improved. While he may not have increased his draft stock that much, he will be a much better player in the NBA for having stayed the extra year playing at the highest level of European competition.
More after the jump.
Vesely is NOT your typical tall, perimeter oriented Euro player. He is instead a dynamic, explosive athlete with size, length and an incredible motor. Standing every bit of 6'11", with long arms and a solid frame, Vesely does not look like your typical NBA Small Forward. He's quick enough to switch off on Guards on the perimeter, yet his length gives him an advantage in the post against smaller players. He's got large hands that allow him to be sure handed and catch nearly everything thrown his way. Vesely has put on weight since his Rookie season, but he's still slim at 230 pounds; but despite that he's relentless and tough. Willing to throw his body around in the paint, he's a high energy type player who dives after loose balls and plays the game with intensity and a high level of competitiveness.
In one game, against Efes Pilsen (Group 6, Top 16, Week 6), Vesely put on an exhibition you rarely see from anyone except a guy like Blake Griffin. The first play of the game, he was in the lane, and jumped from a stand still to block a dunk attempt (help defense). His head very near the rim. I had to watch the replay to believe what I saw. A play or two later, on a pick-and-roll play he rolled to the basket, took the pass and finished with a vicious 2-handed dunk. The next offensive play, he scored on a soaring one handed tomahawk dunk on a delayed break. Even the partisan Efes Pilsen crowd reacted to that one. Once more on the fast break, Vesely had an incredible one handed catch and dunk taking off from the wing well beyond the paint. A couple plays later, he slashed to the middle, did a quick spin and made a baby hook from 7 feet. Then, as the half was coming to a close, he drove baseline and rose up and dunked OVER and THROUGH the opposing center. He ended the half by splashing a 3-pointer from the wing. For the game he wound up with 23 points on 7 of 8 shooting, 3 of 6 from three point line, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. Not every game has been like that one, but he brings the same energy, determination and intensity.
On offense, it's fair to say that Vesely still relies on his athleticism. He still scores most of his points in transition (usually ending with a thunderous dunk), on alley-oop plays, and on offensive rebound put backs. He's still, even after 3 years playing professionally, fairly raw offensively - but he's showing steady improvement in his slashing ability - and more importantly improvement in his jump shot. Vesely is terrific moving without the ball. He makes hard cuts and frequently uses screens to try to get himself free going towards the basket (rarely trying to get free for a jump shot). The ball does not stick in his hands, he quickly makes a move or rotates the ball but it's not rare to see him make bad decisions with the ball too, especially in the form of unforced turnovers. His 16% turn over ratio is a pretty high number considering his usage rate is only 18%. Fortunately, Turn Overs are one of the things that naturally decline as a young player develops.
His ball handling skills, although huge leaps and bounds better than last year, are still only average. He can take a dribble or two towards the rim. He has very long strides, so two dribbles can take him from the top of the key to the rim. Lately he's looked much less helter skelter with his ball handling - and more in control; especially during the Top 16 games. He's not the focus of the Offense, and as such is not required to create shots - but he has shown the ability (occasionally) to get into the lane and create. He's shown the ability to pull up in the lane for a baby hook, or the occasional floater. And of course, if he has any room at all, he's going to try to get right to the rim and dunk. His improvement in this area from last year bodes well.
His jump shot has improved as well, although still not where it should be to be an efficient scorer. Overall, Vesely has improved his jump shot tremendously from last year. When he gets his feet set, and his shoulders square, his mechanics look very good. He gets good lift from his legs; his elbow is square to the basket, and he gets a nice high release with good rotation on the ball. In these situations, he has a nice touch, so that even if he is a bit off on the shot - he is rewarded with that "shooter's bounce" on the rim. As a result, he is pretty good as a catch-and-shoot player, even out to the NBA 3-point line; but not so good off the dribble. Unfortunately, those are the times when he doesn't square his shoulders - and you can just about count on a miss in those situations. Time spent in the off-season with a good shooting coach would be a great idea. As for Free Throw shooting, he's terrible (45%) - but the problem is not in his upper body mechanics or release... but rather in his legs. He shoots the ball without enough bend in his knees. Again, a good shooting coach can correct that flaw.
This year, Partisan has started occasionally posting Vesely up against smaller opponents, with excellent results. He seems to like physical contact - and his energy and activity level somewhat compensate for his lack of bulk. He is frequently able to hold deep position, even against shorter, but stronger opponents simply because he wants it more and fights for it. Once in the post, he has a number of moves, but his favorite is to just turn around, rise up and bank the ball off the glass. There are very few opponents in the EuroLeague at Small Forward that can contest that shot. I'm not sure his post work will translate well in the NBA, where he will be going against bigger and stronger opponents than he's used to... I'm thinking of guys like LeBron, Melo, Durantula, Paul Pierce, Wilson Chandler, etc...
Although still a work in progress on Offense, if Vesely's improvement remains on it's current upward track, and he's able to continue developing his ball handling skills and (more importantly) his jump shot - it will go a long way to making him a much more dangerous player - and not just a fast break, highlight reel dunker.
On defense, Vesely's intensity and activity level really helps overcome some of his shortcomings. First of all, he's very competitive, and hates to get beat. He contests everything at the rim, which can occasionally get him into foul trouble. Thanks to his length, and pretty good lateral quickness (for his size), he has the ability to guard several positions when switching off on screens. He does a solid job moving his feet - can generally stay in front of his opponent - and takes a fair number of charges. He does get beaten occasionally by some of the quicker forwards, but he is still sometimes able to block the shot from behind. He's an excellent Pick-and-Roll defender, able to go under a screen but, with his terrific length and athleticism, still contest the shot. On the perimeter, he seems to know just how much room to give to take away the drive, but still be in a position to contest the jump shot.
Because of his size, he has difficulty getting in a good, fundamental low stance. That can sometimes lead to him being flat-footed, and causes him to occasionally get beat. He may have trouble with extremely quick and aggressive Small Forwards in the NBA - especially those few excellent jump shooters who are also great slashers (Melo, Paul Pierce, Kevin Durant) - but everyone has trouble with them. He also occasionally loses focus, doesn't see the ball and as a result, is caught out of position. Vesely has quick hands, and anticipates well. Although he doesn't gamble unnecessarily, he still gets about 2 steals per 40 minutes (pace adjusted). He's also a very good help defender, sliding over to take charges and blocking shots on the weak side.
As for rebounding, the numbers would indicate that he's a fairly good rebounder for a wing (7.3 per 40 pace adjusted) - however in the games I saw, his lack of strength and his inability to hold position belied the numbers. He frequently was pushed aside by bigger (read heavier), stronger opponents. Most of the rebounds I saw him corral were of the chase-down variety, or the fall in his hands variety. Again, the rebounds he gets are usually a result of his energy, intensity and hustle, rather than strength, positioning and fundamentals. Very rarely did I see him go up in a crowd and come down with the rebound; on the other hand if there was a loose ball, he was the one diving on the floor for it. His defensive rebounding especially could be better, but the team's need for him to get out on the break probably has something to do with depressing that number. Conversely on offense, he was usually the one tasked with quickly getting back on defense (rather than crashing the offensive boards).
Overall, although right now he's just OK as a defender, his length, quickness, athleticism and most especially his desire, intensity and competitiveness could help to make him much, much better. He'd be terrific right away in a Flip Saunders style match-up zone; and I think he could be an excellent one-on-one defender eventually.
So to sum everything up, Jan Vesely definitely has some upside. He is a competitive player that hustles on every play. He brings energy and toughness. He plays with a lot of emotion. In order to contribute right away, he needs to be drafted by fast paced team because he could be a solid contributor right away on an up-tempo team. I question whether he will eventually morph into a more traditional face the basket Power Forward - or whether he'll be a tall, athletic 3. I hope the latter, because as a 6'11" small forward, I think he has a better chance of being special. And by special, I don't mean Kevin Durant special - but more like Andrei Kirilenko special. Vesely has a long way to go to reach the level of an Andrei Kirilenko, but it's not completely out of the question.

I live my life with my feet (or more so, fingers) firmly planted on the internet. But, this morning, I read an article about the other side of the digital divide. (Yes, ironically, I read it online.) The premise was that Paul Miller, a tech columnist for The Verge, had given up the internet for a year. Through this abstention, he explored how the other half lived and how living like "them" might change his perspective on the world.
Every year, many of these pop sociology/experimental journalism projects crop up. And, every time, they irk me. I'm enough of a member of the chattering classes (yes, I know blogging about being a member of the chatter classes is beyond meta – don't think I'm missing the irony), to understand the desire to take on one of these projects. There's something that feels rebellious about it, like you're really out there doing it – and also something that seems Real. Oh, and the fact that you get to finish your adventure by riding off into the sunset on the back of your sure-to-be-secured book deal isn't too bad, either.
But, ever since I read Nickel and Dimed in college, these kind of experiments have bugged me. They strike me as self-aggrandizing and a bit paternalistic. Like the author is slumming in otherness and yelling "look at me" the whole time – pretty much the journalistic equivalent of taking pictures with beggar children. That's not to be say that there's no way to explore divides or otherness. This just isn't the way to do it.
Personally, I am very interested in the digital divide. I've studied it academically and explored it personally. But, my world is so wrapped up in technology that it's hard for me to conceive of my life on the other side of it. My phone is my calendar, my camera, my alarm clock, and so much more. Having recently just moved, the internet is my main lifeline to the people and places that I care about.
As previously mentioned, I work in digital marketing for a credit union. A large part of my job is building awareness of and driving members to our digital channels. In trying to drive adoption of online services, it's hard not to seem like you're pushing a sort of manifest destiny. To say, "If you only knew…" or "Why don't you get it?" We talk about barriers to access, but really, we don't understand them. By the very nature of our being people who've chosen to make their lives in the digital world, we don't understand the people who have shunned it.

Being a stranger in a not-so-strange land, I'm working very hard to build a life for myself. (Seriously, being new in town is the opposite of being on a reality TV show. I am so here to make friends.) As part of my efforts to get out there, I signed up to teach digital literacy classes at a job training center downtown. (Beware: self-aggrandizement incoming!) Now, I spend every Tuesday night at the Jane Addams Resource Corporation (JARC), an off shoot of Hull House. (C'mon history nerds, freak out about the coolness of that!) At JARC, I've helped people to send their first emails, learn how to Goggle, and sign-up for social media.
Don't worry, I'm not going to say that I learned more from them than they did from me. That's a lie. But, I did learn something. These complex social issues: they're a lot harder to understand than "me and my journey into otherness" books make them to be. Gutter-diving journalism isn't enough. To understand them means to lives them, to get the otherness of it, and to do your (small) part to change them.
Thought-provoking post! I do occasionally stop to think about how much my life is wrapped up in technology – usually on the days my phone dies or I leave it somewhere. I think in this digital age, we are losing the ability to do basic things – like reading a map or keeping up with people via phone. We rely on technology like a crutch, and sometimes that scares me. In that respect, I can understand the desire to "go off the internet" for a while – in the same way a frequent wine drinker might go off wine, just to prove he can. But when done as a "journalistic experiment" it does start to feel gimmicky.

The girl I used to be (okay, 'girl' might be a bit generous) has been AWOL for some time. The kid who sang, not perfectly but at least on key, and loved to dance could be a lot of fun. Divorce, single motherhood, and a lot of tough times shaped her appreciation for every and all moments of joy. As she slowly discovered her true self, she kinda liked what she found but she also uncovered a healthy dose of protective skepticism. That skepticism might have precluded the urgency to get married again — but one guy blew all her fears out of the water. And despite her best efforts, she became a wife again.
Even with the boatload of medical challenges that came with our "I do's", I was suddenly, unequivocally and authentically happy. That is until the one night the man whose unconditional, profound love made me a believer — died in a heartbeat. The love boat I had neatly packed with all I had become — capsized. And I've pounded the treadmill of 'what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger' ever since.
Yet, if I had to take my emotional temperature right now, I'm not sure I could decipher the results. I've never been here before. But, as Lewis Carroll said "I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then". Duh. Since that terrible October night, Pollyanna has been in full makeover mode and it's not always pretty. That's not to say I don't grudgingly appreciate the woman I've been slowly becoming; she's actually not all that bad, sometimes even bordering on cool. Her head is a little messy sometimes (I don't mean just my hair; my war with that is legendary) and at moments, she can get a little off-track and teary. But with no Fodor's guide for grief, she's doing the best she can. She may not be crushing it but she's doing pretty damn good at practicing.
"You've stood by my side when any monkey in his right mind would have flown away.
To say my friends are a blessing is an understatement; in fact, I hit the friendship jackpot! All my life, friends have challenged and inspired me, shown unconditional love when times have sucked and been there with wine when they've been happy. My friends laughed with me, but even more importantly, they cried when crying was all I could manage. This post is a long due thank you to all my buds (and family) who've seen me without make-up, without words, and without a clue — and somehow love me anyway.
Marlene Dietrich once commented that it's the friends you can call at 4 am that matter. I love mine way too much to test that too often, but I totally get it. When grief came calling, nearly every one marched right in and never left. That's a pretty big deal. Grief is no picnic even for those on the periphery. Heck, if anyone sucked into that dark funnel cloud had a choice, we all would opt for door number two. But we had no choice; our friends do.
I think Oprah put it pretty well when she said "Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." Even the most super deluxe limo can break down, and if it does, you might just land in a ghost town where you don't even speak the language. Awkward. When life-changing events come calling, even the closest friendships can be challenged. Maybe they're daunted by the hurricane of your desolation and just don't know what the heck to do for you. Some friends are too afraid, some will exit stage left and some, those strong, plucky souls, will bring you grace. No one can stop the storm but if we're lucky, friends and family walk through it with us.
Full disclosure: I am a hair freak. Anyone who knows me can tell you I am a royal pain about my hair — and always have been. Winter hats and good hair days don't mix; neither does humidity, which obviously precludes southern living. And hair is the reason I'd never get a convertible.
A friend, used to hearing my sudden outbursts about needing a haircut NOW, once perceptively asked 'what's wrong?" What? Nothing's wrong – except my HAIR! But, after we hung up, I thought about it. She was right. Yes, it IS all about my hair.
All over the world, hair documents different life phases, from personal evolutions to ways of expressing life events. In a weird way, hair, every single strand of it, echoes life, death and rejuvenation. People worldwide express grief and sadness through their hair, either consciously changing it or completely losing it during a life crisis. (No, I'm not talking about bad haircut grief – that's another tale) The Sioux cut off all their hair in a time of mourning, (sorry, honey, but no, not even for you.) Celts believed hair had magical powers and the Cree claim hair is another part of the soul. Now that would almost justify my fixation.
My husband's passions netted a heck of a lot of 'stuff'. No, not just a few things – an entire room of them! Along with his legendary toy soldier collection, he also amassed authentic reproductions of antique planes, old tops and more marbles than the entire planet could play with. But his menagerie of little planes, soldiers and marbles kept the boy alive in the man I loved. Okay, it was a money pit but who can put a price on a passion? Or measure the innocent happiness it gave a guy who went through constant medical challenges. When Dr. Suess said said "Adults are obsolete children" he probably knew that sometimes child play is exactly that we need.
I am not wired with a collector's brain. When I saw my guy's glee over in yet another new soldier or collector's marble, I confess it often hit my 'crazy button'. In my world, especially during my time as a single mom, necessities always trumped disposable expenditures. There was no room in a home where three growing kids needed new underwear, sports fees or the million other endless expenses for the frivolous. Even as an empty nest boomer now, there still isn't. But these days, I think more and more that maybe I just never had the yen for a passion. Like all busy mothers and wives, I never had much time to think about exploring my 'passion' but at my age now, it's if not now – when?
To Group – Or Not To Group.
"I don't want to belong to any club that wants me as a member." Good ol' Groucho Marx pretty much hit the nail on the head about my reluctance to join groups. Just ask my hefty posse of friends who know me all too well. They'll tell you I'm just not much of a joiner type. It has nothing to do with the groups. Maybe I'm just allergic to meeting minutes, or having to commit to regular times on the calendar. That being said, though, I have made exceptions.
After my husband died, my church's pastor suggested I jump into my parish grief support group, so I went – once. To be fair, it was a good idea in theory and there were lovely people there. They also seemed a lot older and their memories longer since their entire adult lives were spent with one partner. Still, I could have worked with that, since grief is always a common denominator. No, the deal breaker was the fact that the meeting was held in the same exact room my husband and I sat for 9 years when we ran a cancer support group. Fidgeting a few spots away from the very same couch we sat on, month after month as facilitators, I kept glancing at the now empty space. I couldn't help envision my husband, animated, always gracious and thinking to myself 'what the hell am I doing here?'.
I couldn't leave fast enough.

Q: Is it a good idea to import packages from other packages in Python? Suppose there is some well-known (third-party) Python package a, which depends on another well-known package b (e.g. imageio and numpy, respectively). Both are available through pip.
Now suppose my own code explicitly uses both a and b. Package versions are fixed in my requirements.txt.
I see a few options for importing and using these packages, as described below. To me Options 2 and 3 look the cleanest, as they appear to reduce the number of dependencies that I need to manage explicitly.
Is there a preferred way of importing these packages, from the dependency management point-of-view? Or is it just a matter of style?
Option 1:
import a
import b
...
a.something()
b.something_else()
...

Option 2:
import a  # which imports b
...
a.something()
a.b.something_else()
...

Option 3:
import a
from a import b
...
a.something()
b.something_else()
...

p.s. The following questions seem related but do not provide an answer: 1, 2, 3, 4

A: You should always manage your direct dependencies explicitly and not depend on internal implementation details of 3rd party packages. Those may change with future updates (unless a 3rd party package explicitly states that it exposes some particular package) and your code will break. If you depend on package b, put it into your requirements.txt and import b explicitly.

A: A maxim in the Python community is: "flat is better than nested."  For this reason, I dislike Option 2.  It is less readable.  Also, if package A should ever change the way that it organizes its namespace, Option 2 could break.
Options 1 and 3 read identically within the main body of the code, so I have trouble choosing between them.

Um estereograma é uma técnica de ilusão de óptica, onde a partir de duas imagens bidimensionais complementares, é possível visualizar uma imagem tridimensional. Basicamente deve-se ver cada uma das duas imagens bidimensionais com um dos olhos, gerando-se a ilusão da tridimensionalidade. Este efeito é possível graças ao efeito Estereoscópico onde para a imagem captada por cada olho, o cérebro "funde" as imagens dando efeitos tridimensionais à visão.

Há anos, os estereogramas têm sido feitos sobrepondo-se fotografias com tomadas de ângulos ligeiramente distintos. Atualmente voltaram à fama, graças aos RDS (Random Dot Stereogram), criados com softwares específicos.

Para conseguir enxergar um estereograma, o principal é conhecer o resultado esperado. A idéia é desfocar a vista da imagem, de maneira que ambas as perspectivas sejam captadas. Alguns recomendam olhar o infinito, ou seja, fitar a vista num objeto distante e, sem desfocar, voltar a olhar a imagem. Outros preferem fitar a visão em um dedo sobre a imagem e lentamente retirá-lo, ou observar o reflexo da imagem num vidro, ou olhar a imagem bem de perto e, mantendo o foco, ir afastando a cabeça, de forma que o foco saia do papel até encontrar o ponto ideal. Depende de cada pessoa e sua condição visual. Alguns estereogramas já trazem um auxílio, como dois pontos, onde você foca a sua visão de forma que os 2 pontos se transformem em 3, então a imagem pretendida aparecerá.

Q: How to ignore the letter case in email addresses using regex I have the following script which runs as required taking email addresses from USERS sheet and matching them with the email address in the JOBS sheet but only when the letter cases of the email addresses are an exact match. I'm trying to add a regex to the script to ignore the letter cases however unsure how to go about this.
I have added the regex at
var companyValue = /[a-z][@][0-9]/i.users[indices[i]][3]
function updateUserData1() {

  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var jobSheet = ss.getSheetByName('JOBS');
  var userSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1Zog54Yh3r5TyEaLLf3lHUbPGAikiu9HBOmBMtbbwwas").getSheetByName('USERS');

  // get products and jobs
  var users = userSheet.getRange("B2:O" + userSheet.getLastRow()).getValues()
  var jobsRange = jobSheet.getRange("F2:AW" + jobSheet.getLastRow())
  var jobs = jobsRange.getValues()

  // get the list of products on the Jobs sheet and Product Codes on the products sheet
  var jobProducts = jobs.map(function(e){return e[7] })
  var prodCodes = users.map(function(e){return e[1]})
  // find the indices of every Job in the Product array
  var indices = jobProducts.map(
        Map.prototype.get,
        prodCodes.reduce((m, v, i) => m.set(v, i), new Map)
    );

  var priceArray = []

  // for each job get the Products index and the Price and push the price onto an array

  jobs.forEach((v,i) => {
    // assign value depending whether currency = Sterling or Euro
    if (jobs[i][7] !="" ){
      var companyValue = /[a-z][@][0-9]/i.users[indices[i]][3]
    }
    priceArray.push([companyValue])
  })
  jobsRange.offset(0, 1,jobs.length,1).setValues(priceArray)

Thanks for any solution

A: In order to provide a proper response to the question, I'm writing this answer as a community wiki, since the issue was resolved from the comments section.
Not sure how you're doing the comparison but instead of adding regex it would be better to just convert the strings to lowercase before comparing. For this you can use the JavaScript method toLowerCase().

← 2 Timothy 4:9-13
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.
15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.
16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them.
17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
Alexander the coppersmith (v.14) — a coppersmith was any worker in metal — Alexander was probably involved in making statues of Diana. Paul's gospel was hurting his trade. likely the same man mentioned in 1 Timothy 1:20 and/or Acts 19:33-34
did (v14) = showed — not just evil words but evil acts
reward (v.14) — Greek indicates a statement of future fact, not a wish or desire
withstood (v.15) = set oneself against
first defense (v.16) — by his first defense is probably to be understood his first appearance before the imperial tribunal in connection with his last trial. it may be, however, that a twofold charge was made against him, the one, of taking part in the conflagration at Rome (A.D. 64), the other, of treason, shown by hostility to the established customs of society and by weakening the Imperial authority. — Vine, page 228
Other commentaries believe the first defense is a reference to Paul's trail at his first imprisonment, the one that resulted in his freedom for a time.
defense (v.16) = lit. "to talk oneself off from" — a Greek legal term for a verbal defense in a trial — talking "oneself off from" a charge
stood (v.16) — a technical word used for one who appeared in court on behalf of the accused, an advocate
stood (v.17) = stood alongside — translated "assist" in Romans 16:2
that the message might be preached fully through me (v.17) — Paul, in his defense at his trial, probably preached the gospel (see Acts 9:15-16)
preached (v.17) = a public proclamation by an official heralds
out of the mouth of the lion (v.17) — The expression "I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion," is an echo of our Lord's words in Psalm 22:21 where He, while hanging on the Cross, prays to be delivered from the lion's mouth, namely from death, His humiliation. Hebrews 5:7 (Greek text) makes it clear that our Lord was not praying to be saved from death, that is, saved from dying, but, out of death, that is, saved from the grip of death, namely, to be raised out from among the dead. Paul's humiliation in these circumstances would be his defeat at the hands of Satan when all his friends had let him down, and he would fail to proclaim the gospel from the pulpit of the then known world. — Wuest, page 170
deliver me from every evil work (v.18) — in the Greek, the evil is only possible here, while in verse 17, the danger is immediate
deliver (v.18) = to draw oneself out of harm's way
evil work (v.18) — evil, here, is active opposition to the good — the tense of "work" indicates the subjective, an act committed by Paul himself — so, an evil deed of Paul's own doing — failing to preach the gospel
heavenly kingdom (v.18) — The word "heavenly," here, is the Greek epouraneous and refers to the "heavenly places" where, by grace, we are seated in Christ (Ephesians 2:6) and are blessed with "all spiritual blessings" (Ephesians 1:3). Thus the "kingdom" is that in which believers today already enjoy a place positionally. The apostle refers to this in Colossians 1:13.
The kingdom of God's dear Son will one day encompass the earth, where He will reign over Israel and the nations for a thousand years, but we, His heavenly people, will not reign on earth at that time. Rather we will reign over it, much as "the principalities and powers in heavenly places" do now.
Thus the believing member of the Body of Christ, even in the face of death, may triumphantly look forward to deliverance from the adversities, sorrows and temptations of this life, and preservation "unto His heavenly kingdom." — Stam, pages 227-228

Once Upon A Time Season 1 Episode 6 'The Shepherd' Live Recap 12/04/11
BY Robyn Good on December 4, 2011 | Comments: 3 comments
Related : Once Upon A Time, Recap, Television
Once Upon A Time is back with a whole new episode on tonight. Stay tuned as we cover the official recap of show with up-to-the-minute details. Tonight is the sixth episode of the ABC hit Once Upon A Time and it called 'The Shepherd.' On last week's episode a giant sinkhole mysteriously appears at the edge of town and Henry decided to explore it and gets trapped inside. Henry wanted to explore the sinkhole in hopes that he could somehow link the people of Storybrooke to the fairytale. Emma also becomes a deputy. If you missed last week's episode you can read our official recap here!
Last week at the end of the show at the sinkhole site Regina (Evil Witch) drops a shard of glass she hid earlier – down to the bottom of the sinkhole. She wants to get rid of whatever it is. We speculated it might be a piece from her magic mirror but many viewers think it is part of Snow White's coffin. Perhaps in tonight's episode we will find out more about it.
Official Synopsis for 'The Shepherd': David – aka John Doe – must choose between staying with Kathryn or leaving her to be with Mary Margaret, with whom he's fallen deeply, and inexplicably, in love; and Emma catches Sheriff Graham in a lie. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale world that was, Prince Charming is about to encounter a life-changing event that will forever alter his destiny, on "Once Upon a Time," SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4 on the ABC Television Network.
Guest starring on tonight's show are Jamie Dornan as Sheriff Graham, Anastasia Griffith as Kathryn/regal blonde, David Anders as Dr. Whale, Alex Zahara as Midas/nobleman, Alan Dale as King George, Ian Butcher as burly knight, Gabrielle Rose as Ruth/peasant woman, Demord Dann as aide, Matthew MacCaull as knight no. 1 and Robert Maillet as Behemoth.
If you want some spoilers and a preview video of what is going to happen tonight, check it out here!
Tonight's episode: Opens with John Doe and his wife and she is showing him his house that he bought. Apparently everyone is waiting inside for him. John's doctor is at the welcome home party. Henry tells Emma that the reason David (John Doe) does not remember anything is because the curse is not working on him. Henry tells Emma they have to jog David's memory so he remembers he is Prince Charming. David comes over and Henry asks him if he ever used a sword, which he laughs about.
David's wife Katherine is upset because she feels like she still does no have her husband back and she tells Regina about it. Regina tells her she has felt the same way and she cannot bring her love back so she tells David's wife to go to her husband. David's wife goes and looks for him he has left the party.
Meanwhile David is over at Mary Margaret's house and asks her why she did not come to the hospital and he asks if he was the reason she resigned from the hospital. Mary Margaret tells him he is married. David tells her he is choosing her not his wife Katherine.
Back in the fairytale Prince Charming is fighting an enemy and he wins and kills his enemy. His father and the rest of the court is watching him and congratulate him. Prince Charming's father makes a deal with King Midus, gold if Prince Charming can kill the dragon that terrorizes his village. As Prince Charming stands and speak the brute who he killed drives a lance through Prince Charming.
A dead Prince Charming is taken away as his father says goodbye. The knights tell his father they must move fast to kill the dragon. The King tells them he called for help. Rumpelstiltskin shows up and says nice way to treat a gift I gave to you. The King wants another deal, he tells Rumpelstiltskin he will give him anything if he brings his son back to kill the dragon ailing Midas. Rumpelstiltskin tells him he wants a magic wand. Rumpelstiltskin tells the King that his son is gone for good and the King is upset but Rumpelstiltskin tells the King his twin brother can kill the dragon.
Back in Storybrooke Mary Margaret is washing the dishes and talking to Emma. Emma tells her to stop cleaning and have a drink. Emma tells Mary Margaret if she thinks something is wrong then it is. She tells Mary Margaret to let John figure out his life.
David is looking through his pictures and his wife tells him he looks different that he always use to have a buzz cut. His wife tries to convince him to go to bed. David asks her if they can sit and talk some more. They kiss and David tells her it is not right.
Back to he fairytale the slain Prince Charming's twin brother is chasing a goat and his mother returns. His mother tells him he had an interesting talk with the grain merchant. He has a daughter that would make a good match with him. She has a big dowry and it will save their farm. Rumpelstiltskin shows up and his mother tells him she gave his twin brother to Rumpelstiltskin. He asks Rumpel what he wants and he tells him that the King needs someone to slay a dragon. He tells Rumpel he is not a dragon slayer. Rumpel tells him if he does this his mother shall never want for another thing in her life and he will be the conquering hero.
Mary Margaret is at the restaurant and the Doctor shows up and asks if she quit the hospital because of him. The Doctor leaves and Regina shows up she want to talk to Mary Margaret about David. She tells Mary Margaret that David and her do not belong with each other. Regina tells Mary Margaret, David left his wife and she should stay away because he is fragile and Mary Margaret is close to destroying many lives.
In the fairytale King Midas comes up to Prince Charming and tells him if he kills the dragon he will be a legend. He Knights tell him to stay out of the cave as they kill the dragon. They need to kill the dragon to save the kingdom. As they walk to get to the dragon's lair they pass a lot of burned bones of people who tried to slay it. Although Prince Charming is suppose to stay away he runs towards the dragon's lair as the dragon flies around and spits fire. The dragon spots Prince Charming and starts going after him. He traps the dragon in a narrow cave, grabs the sword and chops the dragon's head off with the golden sword.
David shows up in Mary Margaret's classroom and she is upset that he left his wife. He tells Mary Margaret his wife Katherine needs someone to feel for her like he feels for Mary Margaret. David tells her he wants her. He asks Mary Margaret to meet him at the bridge tonight.
The Sheriff brings Emma donuts and asks her to work that night for him because he volunteers at an animal shelter and he needs to work.
Mary Margaret shows up and tells Emma that David left his wife Katherine. She tells Emma he wants to meet her that night. She asks Emma what to do and Emma tells her to go and meet him because David has made a choice.
The King tells King Midas that his son has slayed the dragon. Midas tells the Prince they respect him because of what he did. Midas tells them he does not think small he thinks big and then they bring in a girl and Midas introduces his daughter. He tells them he values her more thank gold and he wants to offer her hand in marriage. Prince Charming is not happy but his father grabs him and tells him he must marry her or he will kill him and his mom.
David has a map and he is looking for the toll bridge and he meets Regina. She asks him if he is lost and he tells her he is looking for the toll bridge. He tells her he is looking for someone and she says 'So you made your choice.' He tells her he cannot change his feelings. Regina gives him instructions and wishes him luck.
Meanwhile Mary Margaret is waiting at the toll bridge for David. David is lost – Regina did not give him the right instructions. He goes into Mr. Gold's shop and asks him where the toll bridge is. Mr. Gold gives him correct instructions and David sees a windmill and he asks Mr. Gold where he got it and Mr. Gold tells him it has been gathering dust forever. David tells him it use to belong to him and he remembers everything. Gold = Rumpel grins… .
Prince Charming comes back to his mother who is happy he is alive. She is excited about how good he looks and how he looks like a Prince. She tells Prince Charming the King is taking care of them and has made improvements to their house. He tells his mother Midas wants to unite the Kingdoms and wants him to marry his daughter. His mother says he is happy he turned it down. He tells her he cannot and no one can no who he really is. He tells her he cannot see her again. He tells her he came to say goodbye.
She gives him her ring from his father – she says the ring brings true love – and they embrace and say goodbye.
David finally shows up at the toll bridge and Mary Margaret is waiting – she is wearing that special ring form Charming's mom – and he tells her he remembers everything. Mary Margaret asks if he loves his wife and he says he does not know but he knows he did and he has to honor it. He tells her he has feelings for Mary Margaret, intense feelings but he is going back to his wife because it is the right thing to do. MM is really hurt and stalks off into the night – she says he led her on!
Emma is driving in the deputy car and she sees the Sheriff and she asks him why he is not volunteering. She caught him jumping out of the window of the Mayor's house and she asks him why he was doing it. The Sheriff tells her because Regina does not want Henry to know they are sleeping together.
David rings the doorbell and his wife Katherine (who is Abigail, Midas' daughter) answers the door and he tells her that he remembers all. He tells her they were not at a good place – when he got hurt, he needed time, and he has had time – he remembers the windmill that triggered his 'memory' in Gold's shop- He tells her they have work to do, it will take time, but he wants to see what happens.
Prince Charming and Midas' daughter Abigail are getting married. Prince Charming's father Prince George tells him he is confident that he made the right decision. King George calls Charming 'son' and Charming calls him 'father.' Abigail does not look pleased with Prince Charming and Prince George tells him to smile he is on the route to true love. Prince Charming and Abigail are in the carriage driving and Snow White is hiding in the trees.

How to open tabs in unloaded state after session restore ?
Hello, I think I had an extension to do this but I lost it with the others when had to create a new user profile, it appeared in the tab contextual menu as "unload tab".
I always have over 200 open tabs and FF often crashes so it (or another extension) restores the tabs and windows, but there are so many that it slows down the computer. Is there a setting or more likely an extension to restore tabs in an unloaded state ?
I need something reliable. Right now I use Tab Suspender which unloads tabs after they are loaded (not exactly what I want) and rewrites the URL to the extension path, meaning that if this extension stops working my saved session becomes useless.
browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand is for regular tabs. By default (true), they're not loaded until clicked.
browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand is for pinned tabs. By default (false), they're loaded immediately.
Great now I just need a way to pause the tabs I don't use often. Tab Suspender appears to be a very dangerous choice as I foresaw.


I also read the article, and appreciate just how much Chris Hill figured into the move (since CU effectively sent him to talk to PAC-10 officials to shop Utah/Colorado as a package deal).
Also, that was a deal that Chris Hill had been nurturing since the mid-90s, so he was fully ready to strike when the moment actually came around. As in life, most 'Overnight Successes' were actually decades in the making.
NEW: Great article by Dan Sorenson on how PACMAS day came about.
NEW: Saw that earlier today. Good stuff.
NEW: I also read the article, and appreciate just how much Chris Hill figured into the move (since CU effectively sent him to talk to PAC-10 officials to shop Utah/Colorado as a package deal).
NEW: I'm glad you guys see all the same favorite quotes I saw. This article was a gem.

Q: If I compile with Intel compilers, will I be able to use the results after my license expires? Suppose I compile libraries or other software packages with Intel compilers (e.g. icc, ifort) and related Intel libraries (MKL, TBB, etc.). If, after my Intel license expires, I want to compile things that depend on the previously compiled software, will I be able to compile and use them, even though my license expired? Will the second compilation process not be able to read or link to the previously compiled software? Or, if it compiles successfully, will it produce an error saying that my license needs to be renewed?
More concrete example:

*

*Today: I use icc and TBB to compile METIS.

*Next Year (after license expires): I try to compile and run SuiteSparse with gcc, which uses MKL and depends on METIS.

Is there any reason that this wouldn't work? Would the old libraries look up my current license status and find that it isn't working?
My reason for asking is that, while Intel provides the best compilers for my purposes, it is proprietary, and I want to develop code that will run in the future.

A: Short Answer: Yes, if you have a commercial license
Long Answer: The Intel Compilers are not a standalone product but belong to the suites: Intel Parallel Studio and Intel System Studio. If you buy a license for one of those suites you get:

*

*A usage license which is not time limited.

*One year of support which means you can use premium support and access all updates that get released within one year.

There are also free licenses for academic research available. They may have also a usage limitation.

Apple is reportedly developing ultra-thin micro OLED screens for use in AR devices
By What Hi-Fi? published 11 February 21
A step closer to Apple augmented reality glasses?
Apple's rumoured augmented reality headset is looking more probable by the day. According to Nikkei, the Cupertino firm has teamed up with display maker TSMC to develop micro OLED and microLED screens, the former of which could be used in such a product.
Crucially, we're not talking TVs here: these micro OLED screens are less than one inch in size, ultra thin and highly energy efficient, making them ideal for use in AR glasses.
These screens are also built directly onto chip wafers rather than glass, as is the way with traditional LCD and OLED TVs. This means Apple can use TSMC's existing production equipment.
Production is reportedly taking place at a lab in Taiwan and is still in trial stages. This means it could take several years to reach mass production, but it's further evidence that Apple is interested in dipping its toes into the augmented and virtual reality headgear market.
Last month, it was reported that Apple is developing both augmented reality (AR) glasses and a virtual reality (VR) headset. According to Bloomberg, the VR headset could launch as soon as next year, while the AR glasses are a bit further down the line – 2023, or thereabouts.
So what of the microLED screens also reportedly in production? These are self-emissive panels, which use miniature LEDs instead of a separate backlight. They could eventually be used in products like the Apple Watch, iPad, and MacBooks.
Samsung announced its first microLED TV would go on sale in 2021, but at 110in it won't be for everyone, and neither will be the reported, circa £70,000 ($90,000, AU$125,000) price tag.
Get the lowdown: MicroLED TV: everything you need to know
Get a load of Samsung's first consumer MicroLED TV – yours for $90,000
These are the best OLED TVs you can buy

We're sorry that we haven't updated in more than a year. It's been a wild ride with the Barnes Assembly A (Well 3H) Rule 37 Spacing Exception Waiver Journey. In case you didn't read about it elsewhere on the Westchester Gasette ~ the Railroad Commission of Texas ruled against our 5 neighbors in Trailwood. Then they ruled against the Motion for Rehearing. And then...well, there wasn't anything left but the crying. It's all been really strange. There aren't too times in anyone's life when people find themselves defending their right to "Just Say, No."
Maybe when we're in our teenage years...it's really hard to "Just Say, No," to our peers who want us to do something we really don't want to do. But those of us who "Just Say, No" sometimes gain the most respect and then others will "Just Say, No," too.
So, all in all, we suppose this is like that. Our neighbors, said, "Hell, No," actually. The Railroad Commission of Texas said, "It doesn't matter, what you want or what you think, the law says that Texas is supposed to extract minerals as the #1 Priority of our state. And we really don't care about your property rights." We want your minerals and we ARE going to have them.
So, even though the Westchester-Grand Prairie Community Alliance is a coalition of very diverse individuals and families, we managed to all come together on this one issue. And we're stronger for it. We doubt the Railroad Commission of Texas has garnered respect (for what they have done in the name of fossil fuel mineral extraction) to so many of our friends and neighbors across all of North Texas. We've made friends with so many of them and know that people all across North Texas feel exactly as we do about it.
This Texan and Westchester Neighbor is not very proud of my state or our leaders right now. It's truly embarrassing what they are doing to us.
God Help the State of Texas. They clearly know not what they do.
Update 6.2.11 ~ Still No Word from the Railroad Commission. We were told by a staff member last month (May 2011) that decisions won't be made until after the close of this legislative session.
In case you missed the blog post(s) earlier in the year, click here, here and here to read blog posts about our Rule 37 Experience since the first of this year and Click Here to Read the Transcript of the February 1, 2011 Rule 37 Exception Hearing for API #113-30193: Well 3H.
Update 2.9.11 ~ Waiting Word from the Hearing Examiner regarding Barnes Assembly A Well 3H Rule 37 Exception Hearing.
We will have a transcript, too. With 4 Protesters represented at the February 1st Hearing (in Austin), that in itself was a MAJOR accomplishment. Three (3) of us tried to be there to support our neighbors, but due to the sleet and snow our car was stopped in its tracks by a car swerving into our path. Airbags deployed. We're alright. Thank God. We called Austin to tell them what had happened. No sympathy was expressed by Docket Services. I don't think they do sympathy.
Update ~ 1.2.11: It just got more challenging. Sadly, we're learning that the Gas Industry doesn't mind creating some chaos and uncertainty among mineral owners who really don't want to lease their minerals and risk losing their health, safety and quality of life. $35 $20/month after property taxes are assessed is hardly going to make anybody "rich." "Sick," yes. "Rich," get real.
We're learning that "leasing" is really the only way the Gas industry can build the parts they need to operate this industrial zone. Leasing "everybody" makes it so much easier to just come in and take over a community.
Grand Prairie's Trailwood Neighbor, Neva Carter, has filed the 1st Rule 37 Protest for Barnes Assembly A. Her letter appears on the Barnes Assembly A Permit's Notes. Here it is in its entirety.
Critical Update: The deadline for "protests" has changed from November 2nd to November 19th. When mail sent (from the Texas Railroad Commission) to property owners targeted for "Rule 37" (by a gas operator) is returned...then these changes of address cause the deadline for responses to change.
Chesapeake submitted a Motion for Continuance "because' they, "oops," discovered 2 more people whose leases had expired. And these two property owners are needed for this Barnes Assembly A Rule 37, in their opinion. They just want more and more people to "sign" so that they can do whatever they want to the property and community. That's the plan. No doubt.
Excuse me. But they just "discovered," two more people??? That's the word they used in the letter to the Railroad Commission. Just check out the letter at the link above. Of course, the Hearing Examiner "approved," their request for a change right away.
Billie Harris filed a Protest to the Motion for Continuance promptly...we had already made plans and were ready to go to Austin on January 7th. And guess what! NO RESPONSE from the Hearing Examiner!!
So, now this Barnes Assembly A Rule 37 is scheduled for February 1st. Unless of course, it's not. One thing is certain. Whatever Chesapeake wants, Chesapeake gets!
