Chrissy Teigen has hilariously leaked her own private texts to John Legend
Kayleigh Dray
Chrissy Teigen has earned our love and respect a million times over with her "no filter" approach to social media, and we're not referring to the Instagram variety.
Unlike so many other A-listers, she doesn't have a PR sat by her side to carefully monitor each and every single one of her posts. Instead, she keeps it pretty honest and usually full of her dry sense of humour, too.
Now the model has taken it upon herself to 'leak' one of her own private text conversations for nothing more than the amusement of the internet.

The chat is with her husband, musician John Legend – or, as she calls him, 'Johnny' – although, to be fair, calling it a 'chat' is something of an over-statement, being as Legend doesn't reply to her many messages.
Ah, mouth-guard issues. We've all been there, haven't we?
Whether your bathroom is big enough to call 'sides' or not (spoiler: ours is not), to anyone in a long-term relationship there's something familiar about the messages and her ability to happily converse with herself.
Teigen captioned the screenshot with a simple "10 years in", reminding us that she and Legend have been together since she was "pre-veneers" and gently poking fun at the comfortable domestic inanities most couples who have been together for over a decade end up exchanging.

It's exactly this type of banal yet somehow sweet insight into their relationship that the couple's fans adore, and would probably call #relationshipgoals on, were it not for Teigen really, really disliking the phrase.
Earlier this year, she shared a Snapchat video of Legend attempting to untangle her necklaces after a night of drunken partying at the Grammy Awards.
It was just 50 seconds long, but fans immediately lost it, raining down praise upon the couple for being so 'inspirational'.
Teigen was having none of it.
For those who aren't down with their acronyms, "jfc" means, of course, "Jesus f***ing Christ".
Never change, Teigen.

Dementia Risk Tied to Blood Pressure Fluctuations
— Relationship was stronger in people not taking calcium channel blockers
by Judy George, Deputy Managing Editor, MedPage Today January 20, 2023
Higher systolic blood pressure variability (BPV) over time raised dementia risk later in life, an observational study showed.
At 3, 6, 9, and 12 years, higher systolic BPV was tied to a higher subsequent risk of dementia, with HRs ranging from 1.02 (95% CI 1.01-1.04) to 1.10 (95% CI 1.05-1.16), reported Simin Mahinrad, MD, PhD, of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, and co-authors.
The relationship between systolic BPV and dementia risk was stronger in people not taking calcium channel blockers (P for interaction <0.05), the researchers noted in Alzheimer's & Dementia.
"Research tells us that elevated blood pressure in midlife has been associated with increased risk of cognitive decline as we age, and possibly with dementia," said Heather Snyder, PhD, of the Alzheimer's Association, who wasn't involved with the study.
"Studies to date have produced mixed results regarding the impact of anti-hypertensive treatments on the underlying biology of Alzheimer's or other dementia and cognitive decline, and whether the treatments can have an impact on disease risk or progression," Snyder told MedPage Today. "It may be that cardiovascular-related interventions are specific to population or timing of the intervention."
"Increasingly, studies are looking more broadly at interventions that address blood pressure -- and less about the specific intervention -- to determine their impact on cognitive decline and dementia," she added.
One example is the Sprint MIND clinical trial. "In this study, aggressive treatment of systolic blood pressure resulted in nearly 20% fewer individuals progressing from healthy cognition to mild cognitive impairment," Snyder said. "The study is ongoing and will evaluate the impact of a variety of interventions on progression to mild cognitive impairment and dementia."
Independently of average blood pressure levels, BPV is emerging as a risk factor for dementia and Alzheimer's disease in older adults. Evidence has suggested elevated BPV over both the longer term (visit-to-visit BPV) and shorter term (over minutes or days) is associated with cognitive decline and dementia.
"However, the majority of these prior studies did not censor dementia cases that developed during the BPV measurement period, raising concerns about reverse causation bias," Mahinrad and co-authors pointed out. "Furthermore, these studies assessed BPV during periods spanning up to 6 years, while the effect of more prolonged exposure to BP fluctuations on dementia risk had not been explored."
Mahinrad and colleagues evaluated long-term, visit-to-visit BPV in two ongoing cohorts of community-dwelling older adults: the Rush Memory and Aging Project (MAP) and the Religious Orders Study (ROS). Both are prospective studies enrolling older adults without known dementia who agreed to annual clinical evaluation and brain autopsy at death.
Blood pressure was measured with a sphygmomanometer by a trained research assistant at each annual visit. Visit-to-visit BPV was quantified over 3, 6, 9, and 12 years. Cognitive status was determined at every annual visit.
The researchers evaluated 2,234 participants who entered the study at age 65 or older. Most (74%) were women, and 94% were white. A total of 1,371 people were taking anti-hypertensive medications, including 466 people on calcium channel blockers.
Mean systolic BP over the first 3, 6, 9, and 12 years was 134, 133, 132, and 131 mm Hg, respectively. Mean systolic BPV was 8.3%, 9.2%, 10%, and 10%, respectively.
During a median follow-up of 10 years, 668 participants developed dementia, including 641 cases classified as Alzheimer's disease. After full adjustment, systolic BPV of 10% or more was associated with an increased risk of dementia, and the highest HRs for systolic BPV were over 12 years (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.16-2.66). Each unit increase in systolic BPV over 3, 6, 9, and 12 years was associated with 1.02-, 1.04-, 1.06-, and 1.10-fold increased risk of dementia (P<0.05).
The researchers observed a significant moderating effect of calcium channel blockers on the relationship between systolic BPV and dementia risk. "Specifically, the period-specific association between systolic BPV and dementia risk was stronger among those who were not taking calcium channel blockers during the first 3 or 9 years," they wrote. "Adjustment for use of other anti-hypertensive medications (β-blockers, RAS [renin-angiotensin system] modulators, and diuretics) did not change the results."
The study had several limitations, Mahinrad and co-authors noted. The sample primarily consisted of older white adults, and results may not apply to other groups. In addition, visit-to-visit BPV was measured annually; the effect of shorter variations in BP was not assessed.

Getting over shock mode and into a take action mode after losing a job is unequivocably the first step to take. Accept the feelings that come with the loss of a job, even with the rationale of a bad economy as reasoning. Feelings normally felt include embarrassment, shame, anger, sadness , self-pity, and probably most of all, fear. Wow! Think of all those feelings coming at someone at once. Take a deep breath, and make getting a job the new job at hand for the moment.
Be certain of taking care of all paperwork tasks such as filing for unemployment, signing up for COBRA insurance, and in general, taking care of the exist details for the earlier job. Be cautious of burning any bridges as the old saying goes. Even though all the above feelings are alive and well, a thank you note for the opportunity to have worked at that job goes miles. Over the past three years, I have been with a corporation who restructures every year in just trying to deal with a plunging economy. The number of former employees brought back into the corporation when jobs came available is nothing less than incredible. As hurt as those people certainly felt, one can bet that they left without slamming doors or dynamiting bridges.
Take the time to check personal circumstances and finances. Look at the unemployment benefits and truly find out how long a time frame is available before the new job is at hand. So many people blindly go about looking for a job and do not really understand the time frame under which they run. Should there be a dire situations with bills such as mortgage payments, going early on to those lenders to just tell them of the situation can help.
This potentially is one of the toughest parts of job loss as it is here that feelings of embarrassment or shame come in. Be thankful for family and close friends at this traumatic time and try to share true feelings with them if possible. Sometimes it takes admitting the feelings to help others understand how they might aid. Have a plan, and share that plan with those trusted advisors around you. Surprisingly enough, this situation is one where your best characteristics can shine through.
Make getting a new job your new job, a full-time one. This is really important. When the corporation where I work started laying off people a few years back, I saw some people walking into their new jobs within weeks. Others two years later still maintained the search. No one variable controlled who did and did not get jobs, but , I did notice one big difference. A positive example to illustrate that difference was action taken by my administrative assistant. She spent a few days working through all those feelings listed above. My heart just broker for her.
She relayed her action plan for getting a job to me. Wow! Two weeks later, she was working at a job closer to her home and with greater pay and potential.
What were her actions steps in finding the perfect new job?
got it out of her way.
She got together a solid resume. In talking with her, she was not overly boastful but felt like a company would be fortunate to have her and that she wanted a choice in where to work. She deserved that as she was a fabulous administrative assistant.
Making sure she signed up on professional sites such as Linkedin secured the slot for the second move made.
Thirdly, she made use of a professional employment agency. After all, as she pointed out to me, the hiring company pays the fee and not the person being hired. She set her expectations high. In fact, the least salary she would accept was higher than what she was making before. She put her "all" into each interview. In the end, she had two job offers from which to choose. Five years later, she is still at the company to which she accepted as her employer after the layoff.
In contrast, what I saw from people who struggled more with the job search was a different approach.
Some let all the above stated emotions basically paralyze them for a month or more. This paralysis kept them from engaging in the positive attitude job search needed.
Most sent out resumes online to any job that looked remotely interesting or for which they qualified. To a person, they all expressed frustration with the approach as they just did not hear back from the businesses to whom they applied.
The job search beyond looking online or in the paper for addresses for which to send resumes consisted maybe of looking at jobs through the Unemployment Commission. Contrast this to the administrative assistant. Recruiters at professional firms receive a commission when they fill a job for a company. Their motivations work FOR the job seeker.
Should you love the career from which you lost the job, follow the steps above. Stay determined, and believe in yourself. Hiring companies understand the economy and layoff situations. So jump right on in to finding that perfect job in your field.
However, if there is something you have always wanted to do and could make a living doing it, consider those possibilities. Dance around in exploring directions. Some people from our corporation started their own businesses such as consulting services. In a few instances those have become permanent, great career paths. For others, doing so kept the lights on until they landed something suitable and more permanent. To a person though they say today that exploring losing a job enabled them to explore their career with a closer lens.

Q: If exists unallowed files, show messagebox with their name I have this code:
HashSet<string> allowedFiles = new HashSet<string>(StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
{
      "file1.dll",
      "file2.dll",
      "file3.exe"
};

DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
bool containsNonAllowedFiles = directory.EnumerateFiles().Any(file => !allowedFiles.Contains(file.Name));

if (containsNonAllowedFiles == true)
{
     Message.Warning("Unallowed files found ! Please remove them.");
     return;
}

But I want to show filename, which is unallowed, how can I do it?
For example I have folder with these files: file1.dll, file2.dll, file3.exe, file4.exe, When I launch the app it must print for me Unallowed files found ! Please remove file4.exe and start app again. Thanks in advance

A: Use the Except method from Linq to produce the list of unallowed file names.
var disallowedFiles = directory.EnumerateFiles()
                               .Select(fi => fi.Name)
                               .Except(allowedFiles, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
                               .ToList();

A: You can use Where instead of the early Any:
var nonAllowedFilesNames = directory.EnumerateFiles()
    .Select(file => file.Name)
    .Where(fileName => !allowedFiles.Contains(fileName));
if(nonAllowedFilesNames.Any())
{
     string unallowedFiles = String.Join(",", nonAllowedFilesNames);
     Message.Warning("Unallowed files found ! Please remove: " + unallowedFiles);
}

A:         DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
        List<FileInfo> files = directory.GetFiles().ToList();
        List<FileInfo> unAllowed = files.FindAll(f => !allowedFiles.Contains(f.Name));

        if (unAllowed.Count > 0)
        {
            string notAllowedFiles = "";
            unAllowed.ForEach(f => notAllowedFiles += f.Name + ",");
            Message.Warning("Unallowed files found ! Please remove " + notAllowedFiles);
            return;
        }

A: You must get the list of unallowed files. You can do it like this :
List<String> nonAllowedFiles = directory.EnumerateFiles().FindAll(file => !allowedFiles.Contains(file.Name));

and then you can process it like this :
foreach (String file in nonAllowedFiles ) {
    Message.Warning("Unallowed files found ! Please remove " + file + " and start app again");
}
return;

By harnessing the collective genius of our community members and through principals such as reskilling, open space meetings,and relocalization, we will be a more resilient, vibrant and sustainable community.
How can we provide for more of our needs right within our community? By planning for transition, can we create local jobs? Shop in town? Hire locally for services? Some Transition Towns have started community gardens, created ride share programs and are making plans to generate their own electricity. Transition Town Totnes even printed their own money, the Totnes pound, which is accepted at all local businesses and keeps their money circulating locally. What goes around comes around,what goes out is gone.
Our grandparents knew. They knew how to make things and fix things. They knew that you don't buy things you can't afford with credit cards. They survived a depression, a world war, a dust bowl. They knew how to make do, mend and get by. We have forgotten many of our basic skills for living. Most of us would be in real trouble if we had any kind of an outage. How long can you manage without your refrigerator, your phone, your toilet, your grocery store? Many of our "conveniences" can be interrupted for a few hours or days or weeks-either unintentionally,intentionally, or through shifting resources. Transition Initiatives organize events and workshops to teach and share what we know, and what we need to learn. Most of it is really fun!
The goal of a Transition Town is to collectively draw a vision of our community in the future and build a plan to get there. Backcasting is a transition tool that uses our creativity. We think about where we want to be in the future and start making plans to get there. We connect the dots. We don't always get where we think we are going… sometimes we get some place better!

Peoria man gets 24 years for 2013 shooting
the Journal Star
PEORIA — A 45-year-old North Valley man was sentenced Friday to 24 years in prison in connection with a Sept. 27, 2013, shooting at the Pierson Hills Apartment Complex.
Michael B. Williams, 3522 NE Madison Ave., implored Peoria County Circuit Judge Kevin Lyons not to "throw him away," saying that he wanted to be a productive citizen and that he had held jobs in the past and was a good father. The judge commented that Williams wasn't like most defendants in that he had several supporters who stood by him and also that he had the intelligence to understand what he was doing.
Lyons said Williams reminded him of a friend who once found himself on the wrong side of the law. That friend, before he was sentenced, asked out loud the question, "What am I doing here?"
"And I have to think that you were doing that, too, right after this happened. You were thinking 'Dear God, how did I get in this mess?'" the judge said.
In November, a jury convicted Williams of aggravated battery and being a felon in possession of a firearm in connection with the shooting in the complex's parking lot. The victim, Eric Brownlee, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
With credit for time served, Williams could be released in about 18 years.

European Semiconductor Distribution Market (DMASS) Maintains Healthy Growth Pattern
Exchange rate plays major role in further upswing. Germany recovery. Design products win again.
London, November 13, 2015 – Components distribution seems to be amazingly robust throughout 2015. According to DMASS (Distributors' and Manufacturers' Association of Semiconductor Specialists), semiconductor distribution sales in Q3/CY15 grew by 17.9% to 1.86 Billion Euro compared to Q3/CY14. This is close to record sales in Q2/CY15, all the more surprising as the summer quarter normally shows a sequential decline, due to seasonality.
Again, exchange rate effects between US Dollar and Euro had their influence, but a significant portion of the growth remains organic, as at the same time volume sales grew double digit.
Georg Steinberger, chairman of DMASS: "This will become a record year for DMASS, breaking the 7-Billion-Euro mark for sure. Even though the exchange rate effects will disappear soon, European semiconductor distributors will continue to grow, albeit at a slower pace. We certainly will remain mindful of potential macro-effects like China, the refugee crisis or the shakeup in the automotive industry, which could easily affect further market development."
From a regional view, the massive growth in almost all of Eastern Europe drove a huge portion of DMASS' overall growth in Q3/CY15: Eastern Europe (excluding Russia) grew by a staggering 37.6% to 244 Million Euro. The UK market increased by 17.4% to 158 Million Euro, the same level as Italy, which grew by 16.8%. While Germany climbed double digit (15.8%) to 593 Million Euro, the French market grew by 10% to 135 Million Euro. Demand in Scandinavia seems to have weakened slightly compared to an outstanding first half. Sales grew by 12.5% to 165 Million Euro, Sweden being by far the largest slice of the pie.
Georg Steinberger: "Same story as in Q2: the numbers are highly influenced by different invoicing trends per region (in Dollars instead of Euros) and like in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe by huge growth in the supply chain sector. As the Euro/Dollar comparison will become less in Q4, growth rates should normalise accordingly."
From a product perspective, the focus was clearly on design products like Analog, MOS Micro and Digital Logic (Other Logic) in general. With 540 Million Euro, Analog components as the major product group came in right at the DMASS average growth of 17.9%; MOS Micro Logic (Microprocessors, Microcontrollers and DSPs) grew by 21.5% to 394 Million Euro; Other Logic (ASSPs, ASICs and other complex logic devices) increased by 32.1% to 95 Million Euro. Also above average: Sensors (22.4% to 43 Million Euro; Memories 25.1% to 150 Million Euro. Optoelectronics grew slightly below average (16% to 193 Million Euro), however, LEDs as the lion's share of Opto, grew over-proportionally. Discrete, Standard Logic and Programmable Logic all ended the quarter with increases between 10 and 14.5%.
Georg Steinberger: "I can almost repeat my statement from Q2 – the music in distribution plays at the sweet spots like Analog, Micros, Other Logic and high end LEDs, which account for over 60% of the total DMASS sales. A clear sign that demand creation is not just a buzzword, but a viable value proposition. It would be desirable that the market recognises this with a fairer market value for the design support investments in distribution."
DMASS continues to report to members only on Passive Components, Electromechanical Components and Power Supplies, the latest statistics addition to DMASS Ltd. It is expected to have numbers reportable to the market by 2016.

Jack Lumber and his trusty bottomless hatchet sack, must fight through the woods, escaping a relentless electric wall and battling aliens along the wall. An attempt at a strange 3D variant of an endless running.
Mouse to aim and turn.
Left Mouse Button to throw hatchet.
Right Mouse Button to crouch/Stop.
Destroy aliens and targets with your hatchet to get a high score, be careful.. the alien's forces grow as you progress.
The camera is a little glitchy but the throwing feels satisfying.
Unfortunately, it crashes on launch for OSX.
"dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mono_set_dirs"
after first control problems... Nice game!
Strange camera. Very simple. Good idea.
Camera control is a little difficult, but I like the cartoony look and you've done a good job with the throwing.
Very sensitive camera, mouse was not locked to window so very hard to play. Good concept and the throwing was very satisfying.

How China, Japan and South Korea can make their carbon neutral goals a reality – and drive change worldwide

The East Asian powers are moving on climate change. In recent months, South Korea has launched a Green New Deal and committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Japan has also pledged net-zero emissions by 2050. In September, Chinese President Xi Jinping surprised the United Nations General Assembly by committing to achieving carbon neutrality before 2060.
With these countries responsible for one-third of global emissions, East Asia's growing ambition is the biggest international climate change development since the Paris Agreement was ratified.
Emissions trading systems (ETS) with progressively tightening emissions caps are likely to play a central role in achieving net-zero goals. They can guarantee achieving targets, enable cost-effective compliance, safeguard industrial competitiveness and provide funds to invest in advanced greenhouse gas mitigation technology.
In East Asia, South Korea is the front runner. The K-ETS covers 70 per cent of the country's greenhouse gas emissions, has been in operation for nearly six years and is aligned with the country's 2030 emission reduction target. However, following the announcement of the net-zero greenhouse emissions target by 2050, the 2030 target (and ETS cap) should be tightened.
A driver for South Korea and other major exporting countries to tighten ETS caps is the prospect of trade policies that ensure the price of imports reflects their carbon content, such as the proposed European Union carbon border adjustment mechanism.
The mechanism will impose extra costs on exports to the EU except for jurisdictions with similar policies and ambition to the EU under the Paris Agreement. This will also drive higher levels of auctioning of emission allowances, where allowances are purchased rather than given freely.
A current critical challenge across Asia is the ability to effectively add carbon costs onto electricity prices. South Korea is set to make progress on this front through developing a more environmentally-sound dispatch system for power stations.

How to get HTC 10 at a $100 discount & new colors available
The hardware of the HTC 10 features an aluminum body with a unibody design. Image Source: HTC Blog
Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC Corporation launched its new device, the HTC 10, to the market last May with a $699 starting price. But customers can get it at a $100 discount on the company's website until August 31. HTC also revealed two new colors (red and gold) for its new flagship smartphone.
The Android smartphone, manufactured and marketed by HTC, was announced back in April. Its predecessor, the HTC One A9, was launched to address the criticism on the design of previous effort HTC One M9, too similar to the HTC One (M8). The new HTC 10 is a mix of the M9 and the A9.
HTC 10 specs, features, and cons
The hardware of the HTC 10 features an aluminum body with a unibody design. The dual front-facing audio speakers from previous HTC smartphones (like the HTC One M9) are no longer. But it still has two speakers; one in the top and one in the bottom of the phone.
It includes a fingerprint sensor under the 5.2-inch SuperLCD5 1,440 x 2,560 pixels Gorilla Glass 4 screen. It sports a 12MP primary camera with F/1.8, ultra pixel sensor, OIS, autofocus and dual-tone LED flash. Plus, it has a 5MP front camera, first ever with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).
As with other HTC flagships, the HTC 10 comes with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, dual-core 2.15 GHz Kyro and dual-core 1.6 GHz Kyro with Adreno 530.
Owners will also get 4GB of RAM, 32GB or 64GB of expandable storage, and an additional 2TB via microSD slot. It champions USB Type-C, Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0., and a fast charging 3,000mAh battery.
In regards to the software, the HTC 10 natively runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with the HTC Sense UI 8.0 skin. It will update to the upcoming Android 7.0 Nougat operating system, which rumors say could be released today.
The 10 model has its cons too with the main being not having dust or water-proofing technology and IR-blaster not included as before. Additionally, the smartphone is thicker and heavier than most rivals, and its starting price isn't competitive, which is the reason behind the current discount.
New colors available
When revealed, HTC also showed off a red version of the 10. It was meant to be a Japanese exclusive but on Sunday the company made the red HTC 10 available in the U.S. along with a gold-colored version.
Customers can pre-order the HTC 10 in Camellia Red or Topaz Gold on HTC's site with a shipping date of early October. The discount mentioned above covers these versions. HTC also offers a pair of JBL noise-cancelling headphones for $100 more (instead of $199) for a $699 total. Carbon Grey and Glacier Silver are other colors clients can choose.

Two things remain that bug me – 1) trying to get rid of the underline on the links under "Diane" (on Firefox anyway) and 2) that yellow-green that loads up under the header. I have wasted a lot of time trying to get rid of that. I might ask the person who made this theme how to do it.
Susan has run into problems looking at the blog at work – it is too wide for their screen. I tried to use a "theme-switcher" so you could choose 2 or 3 columns, but I couldn't get it to work. It is a WordPress plugin that did not work for me.
Thank you again for all your patience. So, it this good? Too bright? I am much happier with the header now.
Personally, I think three columns is still too much.
You know, I misunderstood your comment before. First I thought you were saying 3 cols were too many and then I decided that you meant they were too bright. Because several had said they preferred the 3 cols. At least I have this in pretty good shape now and I can probably remember things long enough to fix up a 2 col version like this.
I know I really like having the banner and the title underneath – that I know. Sometimes I like 2 and sometimes I decide the 3 is cool … that is what I consider very decisive!
Thank you and I hope others will continue to comment.
I hate changa Sista Clance!
I have gotta find my way around and it ain't easy when you have a blind mind.
Holda my mano Sista Di, this new world is terrifying, but I like your new look.
Is determination your middle name?
Everything is looking swell. Now we can rock!
That NEW banner is way cool! I could cry. Far out Sista, your are on a mission.
I just come here to look at the new banner, I don't need no caffeine.
PS: where is Sister Susan hiding?
Sister Sue is right on, as always, the learning is all that count. Count me on!
Hi Sue – thank you – I am glad you like the 2 cols better! Yes, I learned a lot – but hard to retain it when I don't use this piece that much.
Hi Soul Fish, I am so glad you have gone with the flow and like the new look! Determination IS my middle name – for better and for worse. I have no idea where Sista Susan is hiding – you might ask her. I figure if there is enough demand, she will come out of hiding. Glad I can count you on! I really the like the new banner too!
Thank you, both, for stopping by and commenting.

Wave Energy: Little Power, But Big Salaries
By Pete Danko on September 4, 2013 in Editor's Pick, HydroPower, Renewable Energy
Despite it being a bit of a long shot, I've always thought the relatively small amounts of taxpayer money going into wave power were worth it. I figured, who knows what the industry, just in its infancy, might grow into? We should support it and see.
But OregonJon, a commenter on a conservative website I stumbled upon, raises a point about some of these subsidies – the ones to Ocean Power Technologies – that I think deserve consideration: Should they be going to a company that pays its executives salaries of nearly a half-million dollars a year?
The OPT PowerBuoy, not in the water (image via Ocean Power Technologies)
OPT just got $1 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, and it wasn't the company's first taste of federal largess: In 2008 it got $2 million and in 2010 it won two $2.4 million awards and another worth $1.5 million. New Jersey and Oregon have helped the company, too.
Looking at the company's most recent annual report [PDF], it's clear that it could use the cash: It lost $14.8 million in the fiscal year ended April 30 this year, and $15.2 the year before. The annual report also notes that the company, which first incorporated in 1984 and then began business operations in 1994, "has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. As of April 30, 2013, the Company had accumulated deficit of $140.7 million."
So OPT has never made money. It's scratching and clawing for every penny it can find to develop its technology.
And it's paying its executives really big salaries.
I could have known this by reading the publicly traded company's filings closely, but it took OregonJon to highlight it for me. OPT paid George W. Taylor, its executive vice chairman, $495,962 in salary in FY2013. Charles Dunleavy, the CEO, made $439,676. Brian Posner, who just departed as CFO, pulled in $303,523. There have been bonuses, too. OPT's high-profile Oregon project, expected to be operating in pilot mode by now, has foundered, and looks like it won't happen for years, if ever. But somehow in 2012, Taylor and Dunleavy each earned a $98,000 bonus, and Posner got $40,000.
OK, so if the stockholders of OPT – who have seen the share price fall from $18 in 2007 to $10 in 2009 to $1.65 as of Thursday morning – want to shower the company execs with big money, that's their call. Maybe they think these guys are worth it. But is this the kind of feisty, underfunded, scrambling startup that deserves taxpayer support? What do you think? I hate to feed the knee-jerk, anti-renewables mob out there, but this makes me wonder.

BLACK SABBATH had a phenomenal three year run with the first three albums "Black Sabbath," "Paranoid" and "Master Of Reality" taking the world by storm and virtually single-handedly launching a new heavier form of gloomy doom fueled rock to the world. As the band became more famous and falling deeper and deeper into the trappings of rock stardom so too did the pressures take hold and it was precisely at the time when the band was entering the studio to record the fourth album unexcitingly titled VOL. 4 the drug addictions were starting to take their toll. As the good life became ever easier to grasp hold of, the temptations of too much of a good thing were starting to stifle the creative processes that had made BLACK SABBATH a household name in a very short time.
Lots of changes were in the works for SABBATH members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Firstly the band let go of producer Rodger Bain and Iommi took control over the production process citing that Bain wasn't capturing the band's true potential. And so the alternative fab four headed into the studio in Los Angeles with speaker boxes filled with cocaine and set out to take the band to the next level on its own terms and those terms would be a focus on the heavier guitar riff filled doom and stoner metal of the first three albums with a few experimental touches. Fueled with drugs and ambition the band members discovered a new life in the sin city of LA and Geezer Butler recounted in a Guitar World interview in 2001 that this was the point where the classic lineup began its inevitable slow burn to implosion.
VOL 4 comes off as a very uneven album after the sheer perfection of the band's first three efforts. Apparently an outside producer was need to organize and babysit these kids in a candy store as VOL 4 comes off as a fairly by the books affair with a few random numbers thrown in for variety's sake although Iommi's producer plaudits aren't too shabby in and of themselves. Of the album's ten tracks, the opener "Wheels Of Confusion / The Straightener," "Tomorrow's Dream," "Supernaut," "Snowblind," "Cornucopia" and the closing "Under The Sun / Every Day Comes And Goes" follow the same playbook rules that got the band noticed in the first place. Those being catchy heavy psych guitar hooks drenched in distortion with a bluesy bad boy boogie style of cyclical riffing that trades off energetic hooks with slow plodding doomy power chords. A few interesting upgrades occur. The opener displays an excellent melodic extended dual guitar solo effect that carries the track past the eight minute mark. The closer finds some extended compositional skills that flirt with progressive rock.
The other tracks all stand out as territories unexplored by SABBATH at this point. The first is the unexpected sappy ballad "Changes" which finds no heavy metal at all but is rather a piano accompanied by a symphonic backing with lyrics that lament about Bill Ward losing his wife. Clearly attempting to cash in on the maudlin crowds and possible commercial crossover, the track is widely deemed as one of the most out of place songs on any early SABBATH albums and was thankful jettisoned from live performances after the following tour. If the track wasn't bad enough, it left an impression on Ozzy who would add similarly insipid ballads all throughout his future solo career and the song would eventually years later *gasp* be rerecorded by Ozzy's daughter Kelly. Gag icon please. Another head scratcher arises from the electronic experimental piece "FX" which honestly goes nowhere and also seem like a drug induced decision to win over some of the emerging electronica crowds that were gathering steam around the same time.
The other two tracks "Laguna Sunrise" and "St. Vitus Dance" are much better but also sound a bit out of place on a SABBATH album. The former sounds a bit like something off of Led Zeppelin's "Houses Of The Holy" with a bit of SABBATH grit but is only an acoustic guitar instrumental with more symphonic backing much like the short intermissions of "Master Of Reality" only more chilled and folky. "St. Vitus Dance" jumps back into heavy distorted rock but has a bit more of a groove to it but also seems to never gather the steam that it needs to really go where it hints at and a clear indicator if it hasn't already proven obvious that SABBATH were very much on automatic pilot while the spent half of their budget on drug binges.
Out of the first six essential BLACK SABBATH albums i have always found VOL 4 to be the weakest of the bunch and despite the attempts to experiment in myriad directions, the least effective as well. It's difficult to be too harsh on this classic album because it does deliver quality early heavy metal tunes in full regalia and as an attempt to take things into a more streamlined hard rock approach VOL 4 does deliver. The problem is that the album is sandwiched between several better albums before and after that sound more cohesive, more professional and infinitely more interesting from a musical standpoint. Personally i loathe the cheesy ballad "Changes" and the half-baked attempt at making an electronic instrumental that stood out with "FX" only displayed the bad judgement fueled by the incessant cocaine abuse. While the band were pleased with themselves, the critics and fans weren't as much since the band had lost a bit of that dark and mysterious edge. The tracks presented here came off as rather tame in comparison. However despite the fumbles, VOL 4 still comes off as a doomy riff fueled early heavy metal classic.

In the music business many have been called kings: Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, kings of pop; Benny Goodman, king of swing; Muddy Waters—with his growling vocal lines—king of the blues.
But when it comes to the king of blues guitar, the title surely goes to B.B.King, whose death at 89 was reported yesterday. His trademark vibrato held our ears and eyes spellbound: the fingers of his right hand fluttered faster than the eye could see; the high notes were bent with heart-stopping plangency. He compared this idiosyncratic vibrato technique to the wings of a butterfly opening and closing in flight, explaining in a 2012 interview that he had been trying to reproduce the sound that Bukka White, his mentor and mother's cousin, made playing slide guitar using a steel tube or a glass bottleneck.
B.B. King poses for a portrait in Memphis, Tennessee, 1948. Michael Ochs Archives/Getty.
and I tried and he showed me how—but I got stupid fingers, see, and I just couldn't do it… The sound Bukka made went all through me, and I devised my own technique for producing the tremolo without the slide… I swivel my wrist from my elbow, back and forth, and this stretches the string, raising and lowering the pitch of the note rhythmically. With my other fingers stretched out, my whole hand makes a fluttering gesture…like a butterfly flapping its wings.
In case you're not one of these millions, here's how the song goes, in its lyrical simplicity.
Love, loss, loneliness, jealousy, reproach, endurance—the beating heart of the blues.
Rivalling the Montreux version of "The Thrill Is Gone" is a performance recorded in Kinshasa in 1974. (There's a glimpse in the audience of Muhammad Ali, on the eve of his historic fight with George Foreman.) The Kinshasa clip has had a mere 300,000 visitors, though King's performance here is quite as compelling as at Montreux. He recorded dozens of other versions of the song, often duets with celebrated blues guitarists who were keen to play with the master; the last of these filmed just a year before he died.
One more listen, maybe? Another taste of sweetness and grief? Then, when that's passed, let's turn to the upside of the blues, to another B. B. King number: "Let the Good Times Roll".

Five Takeaways Following UTEP Basketball's 3rd Straight Win
Ruben R Ramirez
The UTEP men's basketball team completed the sweep against travel partner UTSA in a tight 59-54 battle on Sunday.
Now, the Miners (11-8, 4-3 C-USA) will take its momentum and turn to another two-game road stretch against Florida Atlantic (Thursday) and Florida International (Saturday) this week.
"I thought we were really good defensively," UTEP head coach Joe Golding said following the Roadrunner win. "I thought overall it was a good defensive effort. At the end of the day we found a way to win, and you have to celebrate that."
Five takeaways from the win:
1. Miners win first game at Convocation Center in 7 years
The Miners' win against the Roadrunners on Sunday actually has some historical context. It was the team's first win at UTSA since 2015, as UTEP has now won three straight against UTSA in men's hoops.
In the first half, the two teams were locked in at a 6-6 tie before the Miners went on a 13-2 run over the next six minutes to lead 19-8. They ended the half with a 10 point lead, 30-20, as Jorell Saterfield hit four 3-pointers in the opening period.
UTEP got off to a solid start out of the half, but then cooled off a bit in the midway point. They led by as much as 15 points four minutes into the half, but UTSA marched back around the 10 minute mark. After the Roadrunners completed a 14-2 run to make it a one-score game (45-42), the Miners were able to rally back and responded with a 13-3 run to close the game with the win.
UTEP held UTSA to shooting just 34.5% from the floor (20-of-58). The Miners shot 40% from the floor, 40% from 3-point range and hit 75% of their free throw attempts.
"We got to 59 (points) and found a way to win the game," Golding said. "You're going to be in close games in this league. We are finding different ways to win games. (Give) credit to our guys. Adversity makes you strong, we've been tested on that this year. Our guys have stuck together and they deserve this (victory)."
2. Jorell Saterfield's 3-point hot streak continues
Jorell Saterfield has become an integral piece to this team as a trusted sharpshooter.
Following his career-high 18 point performance on six made 3-pointers Thursday, Saterfield scored 15 points with five 3-pointers on Sunday. He scored 33 points combined against the Roadrunners on 11-of-16 shooting from beyond the arc. What an exceptional weekend.
Saterfield is UTEP's most efficient 3-point scorer, nearly shooting 50% from the perimeter (49.4%). He's made 40 3-pointers on the year (40-of-81) and is also shooting 47.1% from the floor. The coaching staff continues to urge Saterfield to get better on defense, which is the next step for the sharpshooter to round out his overall game.
Let's see if he can keep it up this week at home.
3. Verhoeven & Sibley lead the Miner defensive intensity
The Miner defense totaled a whopping 11 blocked shots against UTSA, which was the highest for the program since the team blocked 12 shots against Middle Tennessee on Jan. 12, 2016. It was UTEP's two starting forwards that led the way blocking shots and protecting the paint.
Jamari Sibley (career-high five blocks) and Tydus Verhoeven (four) combined for nine of the team's 12 blocks on Sunday. Both Verhoeven and Sibley also combined to score 10 points for the team.
UTEP created 13 turnovers and scored 17 points off the Roadrunners' miscues.
4. Jamal Bieniemy is among the top guards in C-USA
There's a short list of the top guards in Conference USA and Jamal Bieniemy is definitely on that list. When the Roadrunners were starting to march back into the game, Bieniemy helped the Miners slow things down offensively and hold onto the lead to take the win. On Sunday, we saw one of his most complete games of the season thus far.
Bieniemy flirted with a triple-double as he totaled a team-high 18 points (6-of-17), 11 rebounds, six assists and three steals. He was instrumental in helping the Miners down the stretch solidify the road win.
He's now averaging 14.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
5. Can UTEP make it four straight wins?
This is the second three-game win streak that the Miners have strung together this year. The first came after the squad beat McNeese, New Mexico and NC Central before losing to Bradley in the championship round of the Sun Bowl Invitational.
Next up, the Miners take on a Florida Atlantic team that is equally as hot. The Owls have won three straight (Charlotte, Western Kentucky and Marshall), including a recent 11-point win over the Thundering Herd.
Fortunately for the Miners, they will host both Florida schools this week.

While we'll still be around for a week or so, we wanted to express our gratitude for a job very well done."

"I wanted to take a moment to say a huge "Thank you" for your help with Biscotti last week. I've never seen him pull away from me to get to anything nor anyone until your place. He would start to get excited as soon as he recognized the street we were on and could not wait to get into your building. Amazing. The team of people you have working for you - and the entire operation you have - is outstanding. I did not meet one person who did not know Biscotti at any time I walked in the building.
From my view - your operation is an example of a world-class operation and I would love to see your set-up duplicated near my home town so that Biscotti could become a regular customer. From Biscotti's view - he was truly on vacation himself last week and I can't believe the relief it gave me to know he was having so much fun and also learning to play well with other puppies."
-Patti M., Biscotti's Mom

Rand Paul Blames 'War on Drugs' for Hindering Black Voters
Written by Mac McCray in Civil Liberties
There is a strong belief out there that all black voters lean towards the democratic position when it comes to voting. This isn't always true. Although there does appear to be an overwhelming majority that does favor the left, Rand Paul has made a concerted effort to attract the African-American community back to the Republican perspective. Historically, the Republican Party was originally the preferred party of African-Americans. Only recently has the Democratic party garnered more of the black vote.
It's well known that Rand Paul supports the eradication of mandatory minimums for federal drug charges. He believes in allowing judges to do the job that they're paid to do that is to decide the adequate punishment for criminal offenses. Some individuals that get caught with petty drug charges or first-time offenses suffer the same fate as habitual offenders and hardened criminals. Personally, I know people who have made bad decisions or are still hindered by offenses made as a juvenile or young adult. I am one of those people.
Chris Deaton, writer at Red Alert Politics, details Rand Paul's feeling on why voting in the African-American community is hit especially hard by the "War on Drugs":
"If I told you that one out of three African-American males is forbidden by law from voting, you might think I was talking about Jim Crow 50 years ago," Paul said. "Yet today, a third of African-American males are still prevented from voting because of the War on Drugs."
Although Paul feels that the war on drugs is hindering people from exercising their right to vote, the two most recent elections have seen a greater turnout percentage-wise of African-Americans than any other demographic. I believe the majority of this is motivated by having a black candidate on the ballot. Also in the previous two elections we've heard more claims of voting fraud and voter discrimination than ever before. Simple measures such as a voter ID law could be enacted to help quell both these claims.
Yet there are still opponents to this measure who will complain that this is a measure to prevent certain people from being able to vote. I often wonder why there is anything wrong with requesting identification at the ballot. Every other important act that we do daily requires identification such as driving or checking bank accounts, so what is wrong with showing ID once every four years for such an event as important as electing a president? Rand presents his take:
"Additionally, Paul said that those who liken voter ID measures to Jim Crow laws are misguided.
"I … think that some people are a little bit stuck in the past when they want to compare this," Paul said. "There was a time in the South when African-Americans were absolutely prohibited from voting by selective applications of bizarre and absurd literacy tests. And that was an abomination, that's why we needed the Voting Rights Act, but that's not showing your ID."
When we as Americans began to look at issues from the perspective of what is most beneficial to society and not what is most beneficial to ourselves, we can begin to make improvements in law that will equally benefit everyone. These two issues although centered around the African-American community, have deep underlying implications that can affect the country for the better as a whole. Sen. Rand Paul is making the necessary moves to let the issues be known and changed for the better.

The V Factor: which key factors impact valuation?
Every homeowner wants to sell their house for as much as they can. House prices depend on a variety of different factors and, luckily, there are several you can influence yourself. Here's the low-down on a few of them.
To begin with, your house is assessed on its own merits. These include the obvious things that you can't necessarily change: its age, size and room layout are some of the main ones.
Then there are the factors that you can look to improve upon, like its structural soundness, general wear and tear, and extra fittings and features. Other considerations include the size of your garden, the potential for extensions or remodelling and the presence of a garage or parking space.
In a word: yes. There are a variety of location-based factors that impact the value of a house. Some relate to the desirability of the area and demand for housing there, while some are practical considerations – like how far away the nearest shops and schools are. And others are very unexpected, like the name of your road.
Your valuation will also be affected by the costs of other properties in your area and will be priced in line with data from the Land Registry. This ensures the market is fair and that similar houses in small areas don't have wildly different prices.
Are there any factors I can improve upon?
Think about the personal value house hunters will get from your property and the things they want to see when they come to look around. Small improvements to the appearance of your house and garden can significantly increase your property's value.
Consider adding features that don't cost the earth and have the potential for a great return on investment. Double glazing is a common addition, because it reduces energy costs and can add 10% to the value of your property. Freshly painted rooms can also boost your home's worth. Another smart move is to complete any important repairs before trying to sell: buyers could use fixable flaws to knock a chunk off your asking price.
From an expert valuation to a stress-free property sale, HouseSimple.com can help sellers every step of the way.


My brilliant, talented, and beautiful niece R moved into her dorm at Berkeley this past weekend. I wanted to send her off with something as sweet as she is, yet also, like R, health-conscious and a little unconventional. (OK, these scones aren't quite what I'd call healthy, but I tried.) I love you R!
To make sourdough scones, I consulted recipes for buttermilk scones (from Tartine and King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking), substituting sourdough starter instead of buttermilk to contribute acidity and liquid (as well as a good proportion of flour) to the dough. The result was a lighter, moister, less crumbly scone than those typically found in coffee shops around here. Not as exceptional as R herself, but still pretty good.
Cover the cranberries with warm water and soak for 10 minutes, then drain well.
In the bowl of a food processor, place the flours, milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and lemon zest. Pulse a few times to combine.
Cut the cold butter into 1/2-inch cubes and add to the food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal with a few larger (pea-sized) pieces of butter remaining.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the oats and drained cranberries lightly with your fingers.
Add the sourdough starter and mix quickly and lightly with your hands just until the dry ingredients are incorporated into it. The dough will be wet and sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured counter and pat it into a rectangle about 5×9 inches for larger scones, or about 4×11 inches for smaller ones.
With a dough cutter, cut the dough into two rectangles (three for small scones), and each of those, on the diagonals, into four pieces.
Place the scones to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
The crust looks good on these, and scones any which way are great, especially if they have oats!
I absolutely love the Tartine cookbook… My children and I went to find their bakery last year in SF… We shared a Croque Monsieur and Fragipane Croissant… blissfull! I have made the scones and they are lovely.
These scones look fabulous. Lucky niece! Don't you just love Tartine? I've made so many marvelous things out of that cookbook.
Would be nice if you would include the original scone recipe (from Tartine and KA Baking) amounts for buttermilk to make the recipe more accessible for those of us not (yet!) baking with sourdough. Thanks.
Thanks for this idea, we can't have dairy here, and I'm always looking for ways to have off-limit baked goods without having to resort to the "just substitute everything and hopes it turns out okay" method. True, I'll have to substitute for the butter, but I've had good luck with Earth Balance and coconut powder is also easily the equal to milk powder. Anyway, me and my three boys get to Berkeley a lot (we're in the East Bay), so I know your niece is going to have a wonderful time going to school there!
These look delicious! I love the color of the crust.
It is that time of year, isn't it? What a nice aunty you are! These scones look delicious! I love the tartness of cranberries in just about anything. Sometimes I think I'm the only one on the planet that doesn't have Tartine. What's wrong with me?
Oooh, these look so good. I might bring the starter out of temporary retirement for this recipe!
Great looking oats! I love the idea of having oats in breads.
Kim, I agree, I love them, though don't make them often.
Amy, Eileen: I just got the Tartine book and haven't made anything (els) from it. That will change soon, though.
Lena, that's a little beyond my scope, and my recipe really didn't end up looking much like either of those anyway, when all was said and done. A Google search turns up lots of buttermilk scone recipes, though.
Jacqueline, I've been looking for ways to incorporate sourdough into more things, so it seemed like a natural thing to try.
Kristine, I hope you will enjoy!
farida, I agree, oats make everything more delicious and healthy.
Gorgeous color Susan, they look like all a scone should be. I'm not a fan of the dry scone I find in most places so that "ighter, moister, less crumbly" sounds like just perfect to me. And there's plenty of healthy in the cranberry and oats!!
Thanks for this great recipe. I made it this afternoon and the scones are delicious and very light. The dough was very wet & sticky though and there was no way I could cut it. Is there something missing?
Tanna, glad to see you back!
mercurius, yes this is quite a wet dough. Make sure you use plenty of flour on the counter, as well as on your hands and the dough cutter (works much better than a knife). Also use a very light touch when handling the dough with your hands. You can add more flour but this will make the scones drier.
Cranberries and scones go hand in hand :). Love the texture on these!
I have got to do some intense exercising so I can start baking. This site has made me crave bread! I can almost smell the bread!
Noone made me scones when I started or graduated from Berkeley! Maybe I'll just have to make some for myself…sigh, or find some new aunts.
Thanks so much for the recipe, and happy Valentines Day. Just wondering if there's a button to click to go from measurements in grams to cups? Don't have a scale that sensitive over here.
Is "mature" at the peak of activity, or gone slightly concave at the edges of it's container?
For the final mixing in of the starter "by hand", do you mean 'stirring with a hand', lightly folding or kneading, or is it like working butter into flour as per for a pastry crust?
Thanks for your help – I use fresh sour cherries from our trees and white chocolate, and I am determined to get them right!
Gabrielle, the starter should be used when it has reached it's maximum volume. For me, with a starter that's fed twice daily, I generally use it between 8 and 12 hours after it's been fed. The "hand mixing" is just mixing the ingredients to incorporation with your fingertips.
I'm not sure how well fresh cherries will work, because they could add significantly to the moisture in the dough. You might wish to try it with dried sour cherries and see if you are happier with the result.
Hmmm…sourdough scones…I don't know. Never considered it, but you know what? I'll bet you've got something here. Definitely going to give them a try. Thanks.
I was curious how scones made with sourdough would turn out. I found this recipe and was delighted to discover I had all the ingredients on hand, and tossed in a handful of toasted chopped pecans to gild the lily. The scones turned out fabulously even though I forgot to brush them with milk and sprinkle with sugar. They have a nice and light texture. Thanks!
could you tell me the cup measurements instead of grams?
Do you think it would work to freeze the dough in a plastic-lined pan before cutting, as you did with the blueberry sourdough scones?
I made these yesterday with what I had in the cupboard with the substitution of white wheat flour (Red Mill) and dried cherries.
The lemon peel really contributes a lot of nuanced flavor and while I probably overworked the dough, the scones were great; fragrant and oaty and hinting at healthfulness despite the butter and sugar…..
They were great warm out of the oven and still good the next day.
I was happy to find this on the web in time to use the sourdough starter I was refreshing and equally happy to finally make something off of your blog.


This layout is a nice way to show a nonhorizontally oriented comparison of two objects or two aspects of a single object (e.g., advantages/disadvantages). In addition to being a bullet alternative, it is also an alternative layout to a basic word table. Add a few photographs, or not. This slide clearly "draws the line" between the two comparisons. There are downloads with from one to three comparisons, and the bars are either squared or rounded.

I aim to help teens and young adults overcome whatever it is they may be dealing with; self esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, healing from narcissistic abuse, codependent, unhealthy relationships and family issues etc. My goal is to shed light and help you understand who you are to the core. I provide a calm space to be your authentic self, to help you explore your vulnerabilities, to be heard and aid you with your steps to healing. Learning to embrace uncertainty isn't always easy and The Healing Project highly demonstrates empathy. The Healing Project takes pride on treating the person as an INDIVIDUAL and will not put the issues before the person.
I implement a client focussed, mindfulness, positive therapy approach. I have designed my Counselling and Life Coaching program "The Healing Project" to be affordable. Journaling or creative exercises will be applied depending on persons preference. I provide 10 minute free consultation over the phone to ensure we have a connection.
Healing is not always gentle but once we come to peace or understand our wounds it can be beautiful. I believe being in touch with our vulnerability is a strength and once we begin to nourish that aspect a new form of balance is born - Sometimes "Finding ourselves" really means "Returning to ourselves".
