What about the times you should summarize? Like when what you've written is important for plot credibility, but doesn't drive the story. Getting to know one another conversations, for instance, aren't generally rife with conflict. And even if they are, run-of-the-mill debates about this and that aren't the kind of conflict that drives story. I can grasp this concept, sometimes you need to tell, not show. Summary is your frenemy. The problem is, I have trouble figuring out what other situations would benefit from remembering there are times to break this rule.When I have anything happening with my two protagonists, I want to show it. I want to show, don't tell, like a good girl! I like to end my posts with a question, for the sake of gathering more advice(I <3 advice): How do you decide when to summarize?

Yahoo's Marissa Mayer, who will deliver the keynote speech at CES Tuesday, needs no introduction. She's taken the tech world by storm ever since she was appointed CEO of the declining company in July 2012. We can’t seem to get enough of her: a woman in the C-suite, a new mother, former Googler and geek who wants to take Yahoo back to its roots. She’s relevant enough to have been featured in a recent issue of Vogue and is lauded as the woman who “has it all.” We’ve heard a lot about her marriage to investor and philanthropist Zachary Bogue and the strides she’s made in corporate maternity leave policy. But what else is there to know? We've gathered seven lesser-known facts about Mayer. Image: Peter Kramer/NBC/NBC NewsWire via Getty Images

Misra, Sanjay (2011) An Approach for the Empirical Validation of Software Complexity Measures. Acta Polytechnica Hungarica, 8 (2). pp. 141-160. Software metrics are widely accepted tools to control and assure software quality. A large number of software metrics with a variety of content can be found in the literature; however most of them are not adopted in industry as they are seen as irrelevant to needs, as they are unsupported, and the major reason behind this is due to improper empirical validation. This paper tries to identify possible root causes for the improper empirical validation of the software metrics. A practical model for the empirical validation of software metrics is proposed along with root causes. The model is validated by applying it to recently proposed and well known metrics. |Subjects:||Q Science > QA Mathematics > QA75 Electronic computers.

Jessica shows off her glamorous figure in Hong Kong May 13, Jessica, a member of Girls’ Generation, attended a store opening of a fashion brand in Hong Kong with designer Jang Min Young and stylist Jung Yoon Gi. Around 300 fans gathered at the party to see her. When she showed up, fans, mostly men, shouted out and the female star smiled and waved at them. She was wearing a bright-yellow sleeveless dress, creating a vivid mood. The cut of her dress slightly exposed the upper part of her breasts, catching the eye. Jessica blew kisses to the fans while leaving the stage after greeting the crowd.

About Wolf Game Wolf Game is a staking and breeding game featuring pixel sheep that earn a token ($WOOL). Staked sheep generate 10,000 $WOOL per day and must be staked for at least two days but users must pay a 20% tax to the Wolves to be able to sheer their Sheep which is cashing out your $WOOL token. All Staked Wolves split the 20% tax on $WOOL at the time that it’s claimed by Sheep owners. The amount gained by an individual Wolf depends on its Alpha score. The higher the Alpha score the more you receive. The Wolves also have a 50% chance of stealing all of a Sheep’s $WOOL when an owner chooses to unstake it. Each generation 1 mint from the project has a 10% chance of being stolen by the Wolves. The total supply cap for $WOOL tokens is 5 billion with 2.4 billion of the supply in the staking faucet, 2 billion being allocated to community rewards and 600 million being kept by the creator of the game.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - With Game 7 winner John Lackey on the mound, ThunderStix in the stands and the Rally Monkey on the scoreboard, the Anaheim Angels started this season the same way they began last year - with a thud. Alex Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez and Michael Young homered, making manager Buck Showalter a winner in his Texas debut as the Rangers beat the World Series champion Angels 6-3 Sunday night in the major league opener. Lackey was hit hard as the Angels dropped their fourth straight opener. Last year, they started off with a 6-0 loss to Cleveland and fell to a franchise-worst 6-14 before coming back. After rousing pregame ceremonies that included the raising of the Angels' first World Series championship flag in their 42-year history, Young quieted the crowd with a three-run shot over the center-field wall off Lackey to give Texas a 4-2 lead in the fourth inning. The Rangers rocked Lackey for five runs on eight hits in five innings. In his last outing, the right-hander became the first rookie to win the seventh game of a World Series in 93 years.

Yes, I know…everyone’s most favorite card, right? Here is the image of the classic RWS Hierophant next to the image from the Tarot of the New Vision (a deck that shows the cards from behind the traditional image): The High Priestess easily transitioned from the Popess to her current incarnation and is, consequently, one of the cards that most readers relate to. Death often gets changed to Transformation. And even when it doesn’t, many readers are quick to diminish the negative and potentially scary aspects of this card: “It really means change, not physical death!” When the 10 of Swords shows up, we try to shift our querent’s focus to the rising sun in the background. But not so with the Hierophant. When I discuss this card with my colleagues, their reactions are generally strong and negative. It is understandable. Many of us come to tarot after having bad experiences in organized religion, and a card called The Hierophant and looking like the Pope cannot help but evoke those feelings. This month, we’re going to discuss The Hierophant, reflect on our feelings about it, look at how our feelings may get in the way of broader concepts and appreciation, and consider if and, if so, how The Hierophant needs to evolve as a tarot archetype. This month will be all Hierophant all the time. Stick with me. It’s going to be really interesting. I promise. Each Tuesday and Thursday, I’ll post different images of The Hierophant also known as Key V. Some images will be more traditional and some will be variations, with different names and images. For each one, we’ll consider how it is similar or different from traditional images, whether or not it “works,” and how it might change our interpretation if it came up in a reading. I know all my readers will play nice. Because people react so strongly, let’s all be mindful of the feelings and opinions of others. Our goal here is to share, further our understanding of ourselves, others, and this card, and to grow. Here are some questions to get the discussion started: - What is your initial response when The Hierophant turns up? - How do you interpret it in a reading for yourself? - How do you interpret it in a reading for someone else? - Does your feeling or interpretation change if using a deck that depicts The Hierophant as something other than a pope or renames the card? - How does your primary reading deck or current favorite deck portray or name this card?

Published on January 15th, 2011 | by Amanda0 Dixit and Dixit 2: Prettiest Board Games Ever? Our first board game review of the year, and the first on the new TrulyGaming.com site, is for a game that is one of the most beautiful that we’ve ever played and it’s expansion. This is more of a party game than a board game, and features art nice enough that we wanted to hang the cards on our walls. Published by French company Libellud, and released in the USA by Asmodee, Dixit is an easy-to-learn family-friendly game that combines a bit of Apples to Apples with Balderdash. Dixit 2 offers a bunch of new cards and art, allowing additional replay but not expanding the number of players or offering any other modifications- not that we minded too much! The game won “Best Game of the Year” awards in several countries for a good reason- it’s suitable even for non-gamers. We brought it out at holiday parties without fear of boring or upsetting either those who are more into twitchy video games or those who hate games in general. The idea is simple- there is a storyteller and two to five other players each round, and each player has a hand of cards. The cards are simple- only a unique picture on each- and the artwork is the crux of the game. As a storyteller, your job is to tell a short story- a sentence, phrase, even a word or poem- and then select a card from your hand that fits. The other players also choose the best card from their hands, and everyone places their cards face down in the middle. Once everyone has chosen, the storyteller displays all of the cards so that the other players don’t know which card is the source of the story. The other players then vote on which art piece they think is most likely to have been the storyteller’s. Everyone draws additional cards and the storyteller position rotates each round. Scorekeeping is a bit complicated, and the rules vary slightly if you’re playing with 3 people (not recommended) versus playing with four, five, or six total. Sadly, you can’t play with more than that, limiting the party a bit, but teaming up does work. Suffice it to say that your goal as a storyteller is to concoct a vague-enough story that other voters do not all select your card correctly… but keep in mind that at least one voter must for you to earn any points. The game ends when the card deck is exhausted or when a player reaches 30 points. It’s a unique and utterly unexpected game, one that features a bit of strategy and a fair amount of left-brained imagination. Kids can play easily with adults, and it’s a great icebreaker game. We just wish it was playable with two players or larger numbers (an advantage of Apples to Apples for instance). It’s well-designed, and if the name doesn’t quite strike you as suitable, it’s at least fairly memorable. It’d make a great iPad or iPhone game, though a good part of the fun lies in figuring out the people you are with, and looking for clues- the way they set down the cards, the ones they look at or skip over, the subtle tastes they are likely to demonstrate. And this version isn’t quite suitable for travel, though it’s easy enough to construct a pouch and scoresheet that works. 84 cards are included in the original game, which is required for use with the expansion. Dixit 2 adds another 84 new images to guess with. With a six-player game, you may use up all of the cards, giving some players a limited advantage if they have seen them before- but we found that it didn’t make too much of a difference. It takes about five minutes to learn, less than that to setup or cleanup, and is suitable for ages 8 and up. We highly recommend this one, at under $30 and available online, and we can’t suggest it highly enough for those tired of the same old board game routine. The expansion is a bit less expensive, and also worth a purchase, though it’s a good idea to try out the initial edition and see how often you play.

Founded in 1842, the Vienna Philharmonic has long been one of the most illustrious and infamous orchestras to date. An ‘old boy’s club’ in almost all senses of the world, the Vienna Philharmonic personifies tradition and convention; it has only recently started to accept female members and acknowledge its controversial past. Indeed, the Vienna Philharmonic has been peppered with scandals ranging from associations with the Third Reich to disfavoring minority players. Yet, it was a pleasure, and privilege, to hear the Vienna Philharmonic play at the Zellerbach Hall on Friday March 7th. Led by Andris Nelsons, the program for the night featured Joseph Hayden’s Symphony no. 90 in C Major, Hob. 1/90, Johannes Brahms’ Variations on a Theme of Joseph Haydn, Op. 56a and Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90. Here, it is important to note that I am by no means am expert on classical music; in fact, this concert is the first classical concert I have attended in a while. So, it is safe to say that this is strictly amateur hour here, and this review comes from a very layman point of view. The highlight of the concert was unequivocally Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 in F major. The piece started with vigor and strength that one expects from a world-class orchestra like the Vienna Philharmonic. The first movement, Allegro con brio, was particularly beautiful with the different melodies interweaving and interspersing each other like a patchwork quilt. The clarinet soloist was outstanding; the rich and full bodied tone soared high above the crowd, holding court even in the most quiet of sections within the piece. It was amazing to watch the rapport between string players and the conductor as he prodded, coaxed and pushed different parts of the orchestra to bring out its respective melodies. However, the performance was not without faults, I think. Somewhere in the second movement, Andante, the wind portion of the orchestra seemed to hit a few roadblocks. The flute soloist seemed to struggle with some intonation problems during the tricky and quiet portions of the piece, and the horns seemed off pitch and bleating at times. While this was rare, the conductor’s cutoffs also did not seem clean at times, with some sections lingering on a particular note a fraction too long. Coupled with the ruddy and dry acoustics within Zellerbach hall, I did not experience the richness and 360 degree sound experience I had hoped for. What confusion the second movement brought about was alleviated by Poco Allegretto and Allegro. The last two movements were played beautifully with energy and elegance. It was a pleasure to hear the rising and falling of the dynamics in the third movement, punctuated by the sound of various wind soloists. The conductor ended the third movement with a stylish twirl of the baton, which was a delight to watch. The concert ended with a standing ovation, which was surprising and not at the same time. While Berkeley is a hotbed of radicalism, it also gives credit where it’s due. Although the performance was by no means flawless, it was a great once in a lifetime opportunity to watch one of the world’s finest orchestras play traditional and beautiful repertoire.

I mean, the video already tells us what “El Niño“‘s aim is: summertime domination. Let’s see if we can help Buffetlibre out with that goal. The Barcelona-based DJ duo collaborated with UK electronica act We Have Band on this dance-floor gem off their upcoming debut LP, Songs for Elaine (June, Subterfuge). The track is wonderfully produced, textured in all the right places, moving ecstatically from one musical idea to another. It’s the kind of song that plays during those moments when you’re at the villa and all your friends are around and you remember that you’re all young and beautiful and rich and life is amazing and you’re all dressed in white and Zurich is the best. Oh, wait, that never happens to you? Well, now you can imagine it at least. UPDATE: Now there’s a video, but it’s not set in Zurich. Oh well. It’s still great. Watch below.

British citizen urinates into ice machine at hotel in FloridaBy Mason White 1:27 PM April 23, 2015 |Andrew Stewart Wood| By: Mahesh Sarin A British citizen was arrested during his trip to Florida. 41-year-old Andrew Stewart Wood from Havant, Hampshire, was charged after he allegedly urinated in an ice machine at a hotel in Orlando. Wood was accused of urinating in the ice machine at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal theme park resort in the early hours of Tuesday. A guest told a security guard at the luxury hotel that there was a very intoxicated man at the facility. The guard located Wood and saw him urinating in the ice machine. When he tried to stop him, Wood became belligerent and would not cooperate. According to the police report, the security guard asked Wood to identify himself and give him his room number, but he continued to disturb the peace and tranquility of the other guests. The security guard then called police. Police removed Wood from the premises after he refused to stay in his room. Officials said that Wood was extremely intoxicated “with the odor of alcohol emanating from his person and he had random outbursts.” He was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and placed in jail, where he continued to act out. Wood was released from the Orange County Jail after he posted $1,000 bail. A spokesperson for the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando said: “The health and safety of our customers is our top priority and we have removed the ice machine from service.”

Riverhead police have reported the arrest of a South Jamesport man accused of being a serial shoplifter three months after releasing Walmart surveillance images and asking for the public’s help in finding him. Investigators said they received several phone calls identifying the man as 32-year-old Joshua Georges. Mr. Georges was arrested and charged with three counts of petit larceny in relation to three separate incidents at the older Walmart store on Route 58, police said. He was released without bail. Mr. Georges is accused of stealing “assorted electronics” from Walmart. In January, investigators said that between Oct. 23 and Nov. 15, the suspect entered the store and broke into an electronics cabinet. In one instance, he was seen leaving the scene in a light blue 1994 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck.

Aim: To characterise the meta-analytical functional connectivity patterns in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and compare them to idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). Materials and methods: It was previously reported that PSP and IPD showed distinct regions of brain atrophy based on voxel-based morphometry (VBM) meta-analysis. Using these regions as seeds, healthy control data were referenced to create and statistically compare meta-analytical functional connectivity maps of PSP and IPD. Results: Some overlap was noted between the two diseases, including within the thalamus, striatum, and prefrontal cortex; however, the PSP seeds demonstrated more extensive functional co-activity throughout the brain, particularly within the midbrain, precentral gyrus, parietal cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. Conclusion: These findings may help guide future longitudinal studies in the development of new functional imaging biomarkers for diagnosis and assessing treatment response.

The bad part about cooking up a steak for dinner yesterday is I don't have any leftovers this morning. Cold stuffing is one of my favorites. I hope everyone has recovered from their food binge and enjoyed their time with family and friends. If your ears are chilled, it's from sticking your head in the refrigerator one too many times. I've been there, done that. I loved the cranberry stories that were passed along to me yesterday. We could have run a white meat/dark meat poll. Dump enough gravy on it and it really doesn't matter to me. I think the white meat is healthier, which really doesn't come into play when you're filling your plate for the 12th time. That ship has already sailed. Any stuffed celery fans out there? I'm talking loads of cream cheese, a little paprika sprinkled on top. I could set records for consumption in a single day. A reader asked whether I preferred a trade that would bring Jason Bartlett or Mark Reynolds. The assumption is that reliever David Hernandez would be involved in both. The Rays reportedly asked about Bartlett, and the Diamondbacks desperately need to upgrade their bullpen. Plus, Hernandez is a popular subject among rival executives. I like Bartlett and wouldn't mind having him in the lineup next season. He's not Cesar Izturis with the glove, but he's hardly a stiff. And he'd provide more offense. Unfortunately, he's also a free agent after the 2011 season. I'm not a big fan of one-year rentals when you haven't won in 13 years, and when it could cost you a young power arm. The Orioles are considering Reynolds for third base, and it's not like they're sorting through a huge pile of quality choices. I won't post the free-agent list again. It'll just increase your indigestion. They're not giving Adrian Beltre five years and the money that he's seeking. And the market for big bats at the hot corner leaves me cold - sort of like the stuffing that I'm craving. A trade seems like the only real solution while the Orioles wait for Josh Bell to take the next step and earn the everyday job. Reynolds strikes out too much. His average makes Carlos Pena blush. He's not without faults. But he hits home runs and could offer protection in the lineup. He'd most certainly fill a need. So, in conclusion, I'd take Reynolds if I had to choose between the two players. And if I'm running the show, I'm spending big on a first baseman. If he flops - and pick any name out there - at least I made a bold move and took my chances. It's up to the player to produce. And the franchise won't fold if it doesn't get a suitable return on its investment. Paul Konerko doesn't want to come here, especially as his career winds down. Victor Martinez is off the board, and considering his preference to catch, he probably wasn't a realistic option anyway. And how much do you want to overspend for Victor Martinez? I thought he'd be a great addition, but we're not talking Mark Teixeira here. Not with the bat and not with the glove. And I bet Martinez wore a Tigers cap while attending Orioles games as a kid. Adam Dunn is out there. I can hear his glove clanking. Pena would be a significant upgrade despite his puny average. And I'm sure we'd hear how Jim Presley could fix him. Trade for a third baseman. Get Bell on a conditioning program and work on reducing his strikeouts. Spend big on a first baseman. I can live with the rotation as it's currently set, with all of its internal candidates, if the offense is beefed up. Oh yeah, and re-sign Koji. Again, it's up to the players to produce. Just put better ones on the field.

Even as education officials tout increases in test scores around Louisiana and in New Orleans, the only open-admissions school in Uptown New Orleans that exceeded state averages in any subject last year was New Orleans Charter Science and Math High School — and that was only in two of four subjects. Among other high schools, New Orleans College Prep was only a few points off the state average in three of four subjects, and Eleanor McMain Secondary School generally trailed Prep by a few more points in each subject. But Sophie B. Wright Institute of Academic Excellence had decidedly mixed results, and the phasing-out Walter L. Cohen High School and the now-closed Sojourner Truth Academy scored even lower. The state of Louisiana offers end-of-course exams to high school students in four subjects — Algebra, English, Geometry and Biology — and assigns grades at four levels: Excellent, Good, Fair and Needs Improvement. While any grade above “Needs Improvement” is sufficient to pass the grade, officials with the state Department of Education look at the proportion who score “Good” or “Excellent” to evaluate student achievement. A breakdown of scores for each Uptown high school follows: New Orleans Charter Science and Mathematics High School | The school known as “SciHigh” bested state averages by just a few points in two subjects, Algebra and English. The school just missed the state average in Geometry, with 47 percent of students scoring Excellent or Good behind the state’s 50 percent, but was farther behind in Biology, with only 40 percent of students scoring Excellent or Good. SciHigh also kept failing “Needs Improvement” grades to a minimum, ranging from a low of 10 percent failing Geometry to a high of 29 percent failing Algebra. New Orleans College Prep | While College Prep — the charter operator taking over Cohen (see below) one grade at a time — did not meet the state averages in any subject, it was very close in all but one. English students were off by only three points, and the school was off by single-digit margins in Algebra and Biology. Its Geometry scores were low, however: only 25 percent even scored “Good,” compared to 50 percent statewide scoring “Good” or “Excellent.” Like at Sci High, relatively few College Prep students failed the courses outright, ranging from a low of 12 percent in English to a high of 27 percent in Algebra. Eleanor McMain Secondary School | English instruction was a high point at McMain, where 60 percent of students scored “Excellent” or “Good,” not far from the 66-percent statewide average. It missed that mark by 17 or 18 points in each of the other three subjects. McMain students failed the tests slightly more than SciHigh or College Prep, from a low of 18 percent in English to a high of 31 percent in Geometry. Sophie B. Wright Institute of Academic Excellence | Sophie B. Wright’s scores defy easy classification. In Algebra, the number who scored “Excellent” or “Good” was only 8 points beneath the state average. In Biology, 37 percent scored “Good,” but none scored “Excellent.” But in English, only 34 percent scored “Good” and none “Excellent,” falling well short of the much higher state averages in that subject, and in Geometry only a dismal 4 percent even scored “Good.” Failing grades were much more common at Sophie B. Wright as well, ranging from 21 percent scoring “Needs Improvement” in Biology to 39 percent in English and 58 percent in Geometry. Walter L. Cohen High School | Where Geometry was a challenge for other schools, it was Cohen’s bright spot: 46 percent scored “Good” or “Excellent,” just shy of the statewide average of 50 percent. Cohen didn’t make it out of the teens in that measure for English or Biology, however, and did not report Algebra scores. The high school is being phased out year-by-year as College Prep takes over its campus. Sojourner Truth Academy | Sojourner Truth, which surrendered its charter at the end of this past year in despair of being able to raise test scores, did not have more than 25 percent of students score “Good” or “Excellent” in any subject. Geometry was failed by 60 percent of students who took the test, and about 30 percent failed each of the other subjects. Nearly all Lusher High School students — 97 percent or more in each subject — scored “Good” or “Excellent” on their end-of-course exams. Lusher students are required to maintain a “C” average in core academics to remain at the school, according to its handbook.

This is especially for you if you facilitate Design Sprints. But hopefully the tools I will share with you here will help you if you are a moderator or facilitator of more or less complicated workshops. When it comes to Design Sprints , we often face workshops with multiple days of ongoing creative work for the participants. If you follow the method of Google’s Jake Knapp , you would have five days in a row for a sprint! That's a heck lot of time for participants experiencing the whole world of creativity and innovation with its ups and downs. They will jump in the air with pure joy in one moment and suffer from self-doubt in the very next second. This constant up and down can make it hard for people to see “the big picture” and remember where they are in the process and what they are trying to achieve. As a facilitator, it's your job to help participants overcome these hurdles. And one way that I found very helpful in the past is producing a clear roadmap for the whole process. I call it the "Design Sprint Roadmap," and it is a Visual Tool – a template to be precise. Nothing fancy, though. I'd say its rather simple and that is its purpose as well. You can use the "Design Sprint Roadmap" as a printed Template or draw it on a piece of paper. The template itself is pretty straight forward. I avoided using a metaphor for the "Design Sprint Roadmap" as metaphors tend to influence our thinking strongly, and I didn't want this to be too big a deal in your workshop. You can use the Roadmap for just one single day or pull it out every day you have a workshop during your Design Sprint to remind participants where they are on the journey. I especially like to use it to frame the whole process at the beginning of the workshop. I'd say something like this: "In every Design Sprint, we follow the same basic structure. We start with a problem statement and start developing new ideas. But the process to get to the final solution is messy. It's back and forth. Like the squiggle in the middle of the template. We will be in this state for a long time during our Design Sprint. And that is ok! " Once I introduced the Visual of the Roadmap like that, I would grab some Sticky Notes and show participants the journey we will embark on together (there are some notes on how I do this in the free resource pack). I would invite you to test the Design Sprint Roadmap (or a similar concept) in your next Workshop. It is astonishing how powerful such a simple tool is in regards to keeping everyone on the same page and motivated throughout the process. I have put together a Free Resource Pack PDF for you with a printable version of the Design Sprint Roadmap template and a detailed description of how to use it in your workshops. It’s free to download for you if you sign up with your email address. There is more in the PDF than just the Roadmap and a how-to. I've added an easy trick to create hierarchy when writing on sticky notes as well as providing you with some basic icons you could use on your own Design Sprint Roadmap. All of this is in the free PDF file – ready for you to take into action.

DietDoc takes a look at the latest research. In the past two weeks, we have been considering some of the challenges that people with type 1 or 2 diabetes face on a daily basis. I was, therefore, most interested to attend a lecture on “Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Diabetes: Science and Mythology”, arranged by the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) a few weeks ago. The lecture was presented by Jim Mann, Professor in Human Nutrition and Medicine, University of Otago, Dunedin, in New Zealand. Prof Mann, is one of the world’s leading experts in nutrition and its effects on diseases of lifestyle, including diabetes. Prof Mann was visiting South Africa as a guest of North-West University, who have bestowed an Honorary Doctorate on him for his contributions to nutrition. In his introduction, Prof Mann briefly outlined the history of diabetes and its treatment. This disease was known as far back as 400 BC and is mentioned in ancient Chinese texts. In 1889, a Dr Schmée diagnosed type 1 diabetes for the first time and prescribed a low carbohydrate diet for his patients, an approach that persisted for the next 100 years. From what my readers report to me, many doctors and healthcare professionals still only say, “Cut out all sugars and carbohydrates” when they counsel their diabetic patients. In the 1970's, a researcher called Hugh Trowell, for the first time suggested that diabetics could eat carbohydrates provided they were rich in dietary fibre. Dr Trowell based his recommendations on the observation that populations eating traditional diets which were rich in plant fibre and relatively high in carbohydrate, had a low incidence of diabetes compared to populations eating western diets containing an excess of highly processed low-fibre foods. Subsequently a number of scientific studies have produced results showing that diabetics can use carbohydrates in their diet, provided such carbohydrates have a high dietary fibre content and are of the correct type (see below). Prof Mann also described the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study (DPS), which was conducted with 522 middle-aged, overweight subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. The study achieved significant results that can be applied in everyday life (Lindström et al, 2003) . The goals of the DPS were as follows: - to decrease the body weight of the participants by 5% or more - to get participants to do moderate physical activity of 30 or more minutes a day - to reduce the subjects’ intakes of dietary fat and saturated fat significantly - to increase their dietary fibre intake to 15 g or more per 1000 kcal (a man consuming 2000 kcal per day, would thus be expected to eat 30 g of fibre a day) The subjects in the DPS were divided into two groups - an experimental group that received intensive lifestyle interventions (individual dietary counselling from a dietician, circuit-training and exercise advice) and a control group who received standard medical care (Lindström et al, 2003). Prof Mann emphasised the success of this Finnish study, where those subjects who had achieved at least 3 of the above mentioned goals, did not develop type 2 diabetes even 15 years after the initial intervention. The two most important interventions were identified as weight loss and increasing dietary fibre intake. Perhaps the most encouraging result of the DPS was the finding that type 2 diabetes is the most preventable of all the lifestyle diseases! What type of carbs should diabetics eat? According to Prof Mann, it is important for diabetics to eat the right kind of carbohydrate, such as legumes (cooked or canned dry beans, peas, lentils, soya) and pulses, chickpeas, low-GI (glycaemic index) bread, and low-GI vegetables. In other words, the old idea that all so-called "complex" carbohydrates benefit diabetics by keeping their blood sugar and insulin levels low and steady, such as high-fibre carbohydrates (wholewheat bread, high-bran breakfast cereals, etc), is no longer valid. Prof Mann pointed out that the idea that complex carbs are "good" and simple carbs are "bad", has been disproved with the introduction of the glycaemic index (GI). So if you are diabetic, it is important to select carbohydrates with a low-GI-value, such as the ones listed above. Other aspects of the dietary treatment of patients with diabetes or insulin resistance, are also being investigated. It has been suggested that the type of fat used in the diet (saturated, polyunsaturated or monounsaturated), can also have an important effect on insulin reactions.Researchers working in Australia, have investigated the effect of substituting carbohydrates with either monounsaturated fat or protein (Luscombe-Marsh et al, 2005). In this study, 57 overweight or obese subjects with insulin resistance were either given a low-fat, high-protein diet or a high-fat (mainly monounsaturated fat), low-protein diet for 12 weeks, to study the effects of the 2 diets on weight loss, blood fats, appetite regulation and energy output after each test meal. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the amounts of weight the two groups lost - the low-fat, high-protein subjects lost 9.7 kg, while the high-monounsaturated fat, low-protein subjects managed to lose an average of 10.2 kg in the 12-week study period. However, the low-fat, high-protein diet did suppress appetite to a greater extent than the high-fat, low-protein diet. The researchers concluded that the weight loss and improvements in insulin resistance and other risk factors (e.g. risk of heart disease due to increased blood fat levels), were similar on both diet treatments and that neither diet affected bone turnover or kidney function negatively (Luscombe-Marsh et al, 2005). It may thus be a good idea for diabetics to use monounsaturated fats in their diets to replace other sources of fat. Avocados, nuts and olives; olive, canola, grapeseed, peanut, sesame, safflower and avocado oils, as well as foods made with these oils, are rich sources of monounsaturated fats. Different population GI responses to foods Prof Mann also cautioned that different populations may exhibit different blood sugar and insulin reactions to foods. A study which compared the glycaemic response of people of European and Chinese ethnicity, found that on average the GI of parboiled rice in the Chinese subjects was 20% higher than in the Caucasian group: an average GI of 72 was obtained with the Chinese subjects, compared to an average GI-value of 57 with the European subjects, which would make parboiled rice a high-GI food for the Chinese subjects, while it can still be regarded as a low-GI food for the subjects of European descent. This indicates that it is important to determine the GI of foods in different populations, particularly staple foods that are used as the basis of a specific population’s diet (rice in China and other Eastern countries, maize meal in large parts of Africa, including South Africa). It is good to know that scientific researchers are hard at work trying to improve the lives of patients with insulin resistance, and types 1 and 2 diabetes. The most encouraging news is that type 2 diabetes can to a large extent be prevented by losing weight, increasing the intake of dietary fibre from legumes, pulses and low-GI foods, and doing some physical exercise as often as possible. - (Dr Ingrid van Heerden, DietDoc, May 2011) (Lindström J et al (2003). The Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study (DPS): Lifestyle intervention and 3-year results on diet and physical activity. Diabetes Care, Vol 26(12); Luscombe-Marsh ND et al (2005). Carbohydrate-restricted diets high in either monounsaturated fat or protein are equally effective at promoting fat loss and improving blood lipids. Am J Clin Nutr, Vol 18(4):762-772; Mann, J (2011).

My grandfather, Hjalmar Nilson Grimstad, was a merchant seaman or 'merchant marine' for many years. During the early 1930's he worked for the Department of Commerce, particularly the Bureau of Navigation and Shipping Service. As a sailor on various freight ships, he had the opportunity to sail to Panama and the West coast of South America. He may have been as far as Argentina. After each voyage, he was 'discharged' from service. Through 1929 to 1932 he was discharged in Baltimore and New York, and then later in 1933 in Boston, where he ended up settling and getting married. He kept records of the various ships he sailed on. Interestingly, one of the ships he sailed was called the S.S. Carolyn, and it was the only ship I could find a picture of! Unfortunately, this ship was later utilized during W.W. II and was torpedoed and sunk in 1945. click on documents for closer view

I hear it all the time - we're living longer. "A baby born in the United States in 2004 will live an average of 77.9 years. That life expectancy ranks 42nd, down from 11th two decades earlier, according to international numbers provided by the Census Bureau and domestic numbers from the National Center for Health Statistics." Yep, we rank 42 in the world!! Sadly, the richest country in the world does not provide enough resources and attention to the health of its citizenry. Let's see, cigarette smoking is down at very good rates from 10 years ago, yet we still do not live as long as we should? Could we be poisoning ourselves with gas fumes? What about other forms of air pollution? Asthma is on the rise, but cigarette smoking is not, so, I would have to assume that something else is the culprit. Obesity, yes that's truly a problem in the US. We can take responsibility for that one ourselves, even though the FDA does not do its job properly. How about insurance? Nope, I won't buy that one. I had health insurance and still couldn't afford the testing and the meds required to keep me at optimal health. Basically, we need universal health care that won't cause us to lose doctors and other specialists because of their greed. It's time for our politicians to start making a difference in America. Healthcare is at the top of the list. I have two friends with lumps in their breasts. Twenty years ago, those lumps would have been removed. Not now. Even with good insurance, the insurance companies will not pay to have them removed unless they prove to be scary enough. You almost have to be certain that the lumps are malignant to have them removed. What if your Mother died of breast cancer? Not to worry, we still wait and see according to our excellent insurance (bottom dollar) based healthcare. Meanwhile, these women have to play the waiting game... Let's watch it for a few months and see if they grow or change. What does that do to a woman's psyche? Imagine the worry, stress, and anxiety she deals with. That's ok though, they have high blood pressure meds, and antidepressants and nerve pills to help them get through this waiting game. Full Story Here.

Makrides’ work was made in 2009. Twelve bronze torsi, eleven male and one female, form a circle, in the middle of which is placed a pot. The circle is the usual arrangement of the participants during a ceremonial gathering. In this case the gathering takes place around a ceremonial pot, symbolically referring to the hearth and the sacred fire. The hearth symbolizes origins, and is associated with the eternal flame, which in turn implies commemoration. The Sense of Place project Establishing a Cypriot feel full of culture, beauty, and vibrancy Since day one, Hermes Airports introduced the concept "Sense of Place" at the terminals of Larnaka and Pafos International Airports. The principal objective was for the airports to express and promote the rich cultural identity of the island through a modern interpretation that would be reflected with artwork created by local artists. Ten years later, Hermes enhanced the Sense of Place concept and broadened the idea beyond art. With the guidance of a curator, research was carried out based on a long process of material collection related to Cyprus, which took into consideration all the characteristics that signify today's life on the island through its evolution in history. Angelos Makrides (b.1942 in Yialousa, Cyprus) lives and works in Nicosia, Cyprus. He studied sculpture at the Athens School of Fine Art (1961-1967) with Thanasis Apartis. He worked in Paris (1967-1969), in Nicosia (1969-1974) and in Athens (1974-1986). Since 1986 he has been living and working in Cyprus. Angelos Makrides is one of the most influential Cypriot artists. He took part in many solo and group exhibitions among which: Elegies of Life and Death, Omikron Gallery (2009), Angelos Makrides – Phanos Kyriacou, Synergi at the Cyprus Museum, Cyprus Archeological Museum, Nicosia (2009), Where Do We Go from Here?, Nicosia Municipal Art Centre, Nicosia (2008), Diaspro Art Centre (2004), 1960-1974 New Cypriot Artists at the Dawn of Democracy, Nicosia (2002), From the Chisel to Electron, Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre (2000), Angelos Makrides – Important Works 1960 – 2000, Municipal Gallery, Larnaca (2000), Angelos Makrides 1968 – 1996, Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre (1997), Pisces, Pierides Gallery, Athens / Averof Gallery, Metsovo/ Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre (1996), Visual Peregrination, European Cultural Month, Nicosia (1995), Aphrodite, the Harmony and Inconceivable, Museum of Modern Art, Toulouse / Tanimanides, Lappas, Makrides, Pompidou Centre, Paris (1991), Venice Biennale, Venice (1988), Biennale of Graphic Arts, Ljubljiana (1973), Sao Paulo Biennale/ Biennale of Young Artists, Paris, India Triennale (1971), International Exhibition of Drawings, Rijeka (1970), Alexandria Biennale/ Sao Paulo Biennale (1969).

This is a game changer in our house… a gluten-free and paleo friendly recipe for Bacon, Egg, and Sweet Potato Brussels Sprout Salad. Now I love my wife. She’s an absolutely stunning woman with an equally huge and caring heart. But people. A perfectly soft cooked egg with a velvety, luscious yolk? Now that’s the epitome of beauty. It’s the Scarlett Johansson of the food world. My wife would say Bradley Cooper. Or Geoffrey Zakarian… she has a weird obsession with him. I digress. Point is… eggs are legit. Especially on top of this epic gluten-free and paleo friendly salad. And this isn’t your average lame side salad… some limp lettuce and bottled dressing with a few pathetic vegetables thrown in the mix. Heck no. This Bacon and Egg Brussels Sprout Salad with Sweet Potato + Avocado has some serious flavor on flavor action going on. I’ve been wanting to make a Brussels sprouts salad since last year forever (forever sounds a bit more intense and dramatic, doesn’t it?). I’m such a fan of B sprouts. That’s right, B sprouts. We’re on a nickname basis. Now I have to admit, I had to overcome a bit of a kitchen fear to get my creative Brussels sprouts salad on. The mandoline. Oh man, instant flashback to the first time I tried one and gave myself a nice filet of finger. But now I respect the mandoline. And the mandoline respects me. We have a good working relationship now. No mandoline? No problemo… just halve the sprouts and then thinly slice. Same thing 😉 Ooooooo! Raise your hand if you own a sous vide immersion circulator? It’s my newest kitchen toy and I’m in absolutely in love. Not Scarlett Johannson in love, but in love nonetheless. It makes cooking perfect eggs incredibly easy and almost foolproof. I highly recommend it. If you don’t have one… major bummer. You should get one. Go ahead, treat yourself. I cook my eggs in the sous vide machine for 13 minutes at 75°C. Perfect eggs, every time. And if that’s not in the cards, just go ahead and give ’em a poach.

Quick Note: So here's the thing. Steve and Hermione are separate individuals. They will not being doing everything together all of the time as this is Steve's journey just as must as it's Hermione's! That's why Hermione was never going to go with Steve to rescue Bucky and Co. This is one of Steve's defining moments in learning leadership and decision making under extreme pressure. PLUS Hermione literally just came back from a two week mission in one of the most dangerous places in the world. She's exhausted. She'd be more of a weight than a help if she were to go too. So, to reiterate: Hermione is not the plucky sidekick who warms Steve's bed. She will dramatically change the timeline by making her own decisions and navigating through this world changing War. Hermione woke to the sound of a nurse lightly knocking at the entrance of her cabin. She sat bolt upright in her cot, her hair rising in every direction, and her eyes going wide. Steve, was her first waking thought. "Yes?" Hermione said, blinking the sleep from her eyes several times, trying to focus on the young woman. "What is it?" The brunette haired nurse leaned against the wood of her door frame with obvious exhaustion. The stains on her white uniform indicated she'd been working in the hospital throughout the night. "It's Colonel Phillips ma'am. He's asked to see you." Dread pulled at the pit of Hermione's stomach. Steve was technically still in employ with the Senator, and he was currently missing. Gone on an unsanctioned mission with Hermione, Peggy, and Howard's knowledge and obvious help. If he wasn't going to yell at her, it was sure to be a sacking. Hermione swallowed. "Alright thank you. I'll be there momentarily." The nurse nodded, and turned to the door. "Ma'am." Hermione stood from her cot. "And be sure to eat something," Hermione added kindly before she left. "You look like you could use a weeks ration of coffee." The corners of the nurse's mouth lifted and her tired eyes warmed. "I feel like I could too. Thank you ma'am," she gave one last smile and then was gone. Hermione made sure the door was closed after her, and reached for her wand under her pillow that she had charmed over with a notice-me-not. She cast a silencing spell around the edge of her cabin and reached for her uniform. Her fingers stroked the cotton of her tan tie and she looked to the small mirror that was nailed to a support beam across the room. Frizzy morning hair, pale skin, and dark impressions under her eyes stared back at her. She grimaced. Her gaze fell to her cosmetics bag sitting just below the mirror and she resolutely waved her wand. If she was to be sacked today, she was damn well going to look her best in front of the patriarchy. When Hermione made it to the Colonel's open aired station of command at the heart of camp, she knew that her efforts had succeeded. Not even the brisk November morning air could dampen the heat of the numerous eyes pursuing her movements. She had charmed her hair into perfect curls and pinned them back from her face to tumble over shoulders like waterfalls. Her uniform was impeccably pressed and cleaned, and she was wearing her best lipstick. She looked wonderful and she knew it. It made her feel like a thousand galleons. Peggy seemed to have the same idea, Hermione noticed, as she reached the entrance with the already present Agent. Peggy's complexion was completely smoothed, her hair was in tight curls, and she was wearing a darker shade of lipstick that complimented the red highlights in her hair. Peggy noticed her entrance and took a step to the side so they could stand before the Colonel together. Hermione took her place beside her friend and raised her chin to the Colonel. He stood in front of the pair, leaning against a table that sat a young soldier with a typewriter. The soldier was typing diligently after the Colonel word for word. "Senator Brant," Colonel Phillips said, and the punches of the typewriter filled the air. "I regret to report that Captain Steven G Rogers went missing behind enemy lines on November the 3rd, 1943. Aerial reconnaissance has proven unfruitful. As a result, I must declare Captain Rogers killed in action." He licked his lips and looked to the young man. "Period." He looked back to Hermione and Peggy and put his hands on his hips. Fatigue lined his eyes. "You have anything to add?" he asked them. Hermione fought the motion to swallow. Peggy seemed to have no regard for the tension in the room and offered a file of photos that she had been holding. "The last surveillance flight is back," she said and Colonel Phillips accepted the folder. He thumbed through a couple of black and white images Hermione couldn't see from her distance, and Peggy disregarded the images with downcast eyes. "There's been no sign of activity." Hermione felt her heart drop. Peggy had come to her in the dark hours of the morning, windswept and shivering from the cold, but with news of Steve's descent into enemy territory. The fact that he had jumped out of the airplane in bullet infested enemy airspace, and ejected miles away from his original landing point had made Hermione toss and turn throughout the night. She had hoped for some sort of word after that. Better to know the result of his expedition now than wonder if he had been blown out of the sky in his descent, or if he was hung from a tree during his landing, or if he had been shot and killed before he'd even stepped foot onto the enemy base. She tried to remain positive in this new light however. No news might mean good news. Colonel Phillips still held one of the photos. "Go get a cup of coffee, Corporeal," he ordered without looking up. The young man behind the typewriter stood up. "Yes, Sir," he answered immediately, and left the tent. Only the three of them remained. Colonel Phillips put the photo back in the file and walked to the other side of the tent, his hands back on his hips. He looked to the clear skies outside. "They can't touch Stark," he started. "He's rich, and he's the Army's number one weapons contractor." He turned around to face them. "Neither of you are either one," he said. "Do you know what that means?" "Respectfully, Sir, I don't regret my actions," Peggy answered. She met his gaze unflinchingly. "And I don't think Captain Rogers did either." His jaw clenched. His eyes turned to Hermione. "And you, Agent Granger?" He's not dead. He can't be. "Yes, Sir. I don't regret it either, Sir." Colonel Phillips scowled. "Well then I don't give a damn about your opinions." He turned to Peggy. "I took a chance on bringing you on," he said, and glowered at Hermione. "And you were an accident that I didn't have to get my hands in. Now look at us." He shook his head in disgust. Hermione's throat swelled, and she clenched her teeth. "America's Golden Boy, and a lot of good men are dead right now," he said dangerously low, and settled his gaze on Hermione, "all because you had a crush." "I believe in him," Hermione snapped back. "It's called faith." Colonel Phillips stared back stonily, ignoring her present tense. "Well I hope that keeps you warm at night when they shut this division down." Hermione's heart raced, but she didn't look away. She couldn't. He's not dead. He's not. The Colonel's attention was driven away from her when several loud shouts started overlapping each other from outside the tent. "There's no way-!" "You gotta see this!" "-can't believe it!" Colonel Phillips placed his hands behind his back, and he narrowed his eyes. "What the hell is goin on out there?" he growled, and stepped in between Peggy and Hermione to the door behind them. The warmth of Peggy's hand on Hermione's shoulder stopped the frantic mantra of He's not dead. He can't be. He isn't. Steve's not gone. He's not. circling in her mind. Her eyes fluttered open up at Peggy, but the panic and subsequent guilt of letting Steve go out alone filled her lungs like rising water. She felt as if she was drowning, breath by breath. Peggy's fingers curled around the base of Hermione's neck and she stepped in close enough for Hermione to smell her lavender perfume. "He's not dead," Hermione said so softly, it might as well have been a whisper. Peggy pressed her lips together and moved her hand to Hermione's back. "Come along. We should see what the fuss is about." The unbreakable steel in her friends eyes calmed Hermione's hitching breath. She just had to wait. It didn't matter what the reconnaissance said. Steve will find his way back. He'll come back. She just had to wait. Peggy lead her securely through the tents entrance, and they followed the frantic steps of soldiers nearly breaking out into jogs at something over the eastern hill of camp. Hermione came fully back to the present when the sound of heavy machinery accompanied the noise of the soldiers around her. Then, there were the echoing 'thumps' of marching feet from the same direction. The marching of many, many feet. Hermione's eyebrows drew together. They weren't under attack, that was for sure. But they weren't meant to receive any further support either. "Look who it is!" someone yelled, and a wave of cheers and enthusiastic applause rose over the soldiers. Hermione and Peggy exchanged a bewildered look before catching up to Colonel Phillips. Soldiers parted like the red sea ahead. Hermione's eyes widened as she got closer to the disturbance. A five man width column of more than four hundred mud encrusted soldiers marched determinedly forwards through the camp's Eastern entrance. An Uber tank and several tarp covered hummers and trucks drove in the midst of the exhausted, but grinning returning Allied soldiers. They were all the POWs from the Hydra factory in Krausberg. Most held guns with a familiar blue tint in the magazine, but Hermione couldn't look away from a dusty and battered familiar face leading the lot of them at the front. Hermione's breath left her. "Steve," she managed to say, and Peggy let out a sharp puff of air. Cheers began anew as row and row of returning soldiers filled the awakening camp. Men moved out of the way as Colonel Phillips made a direct line to Steve, and when Hermione's soldier stopped in front of the Colonel and saluted him with the fear of God in his eyes, Hermione's heart expanded in her chest. A smile broke across her face. Relief then hit her over the head like a metal bat, and Peggy gently wrapped fingers around Hermione's wrist. Steve dropped his salute. "Some of these men need medical attention," he started. Colonel Phillips gazed at the rows of men behind Steve, who were coming to a stop behind the Captain that had led them home. Medics began to disburse from the field hospital into the new soldiers for the wounded. Steve caught sight of Hermione's face behind the Colonel, and she watched his eyes go up and down her figure as if he was checking her for injures. His eyes came back to Colonel Phillips. "I'd also like to surrender myself for disciplinary -" "That won't be necessary," the Colonel interrupted, and his hands went behind his back. Hermione watched as Steve's jaw nearly dropped. The Colonel raised an eyebrow, and Steve's face went neutral. The Colonel grinned. "Yes, Sir," Steve said softly. The older soldier turned from Steve and met Hermione's eyes with a mirth that Hermione had never seen before. "Faith, huh?" he seemed to nod to himself. "Well, faith it is." Hermione watched as he walked away from the crowd with a grin at the edges of his mouth, his hands in his pockets. When she turned back, she met the intense blue eyed gaze of her - boyfriend? Lover? No, no title seemed to fit at that moment. He was hers, just as she was his, and that was it. Hermione didn't realize they were staring at each other until Peggy walked pointedly forwards and slowly evaluated Steve's dirtied appearance. Hermione jumped into the awakened mind, and followed her friend as Peggy raised her chin. "You're late, Captain." Steve smiled. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a transmitter with a clear bullet hole in the middle, showing the top half that had been blow away. "I couldn't call my ride," he answered with a grin. Peggy raised an eyebrow at the machinery, and Hermione laughed. Steve's gaze dropped back down to Hermione, but it was a different voice that caught her by surprise. "It's good to see you smile like that doll-face," it said, and Hermione's eyes widened at a bleary eyed, ragged looking man standing beside Steve. "Bucky!" Hermione smiled, and darted forwards. She stopped herself from throwing her arms around the man in front of every soldier in camp, and instead clasped his arms against her palms. His hair was limp, there were dark circles under his eyes, and dirt nearly covered every square inch of his skin, but he was alive. "I'm so glad you're okay!" Hermione nearly cried. "I tried to find you and I thought - Well, it doesn't matter now, I'm so happy to see you! Alot of people were very worried." Bucky grinned and lightly pulled on one of her curls. "Alot of people huh?" He suddenly grimaced. "You didn't tell Rebecca did you?" Hermione shook her head."No, no I didn't have the heart to tell your sister to be honest." He smiled. "Good, I'd hate to have to give her a heart attack before her wedding." "She's getting married?" Hermione asked, surprised. "Probably already is by this time. Ralph got drafted about a month ago." "Oh-" Hermione faltered. She had met the couple several times in Brooklyn, but Hermione knew that Becca was young. She'd only turned eighteen less than five months ago. "Bucky, I'm real sorry you had to miss-" "Ain't no use cryin over spilled milk now doll," he said, and pulled on her curl once more before stepping back from her embrace. "We'll have ourselves a celebration after we win the War." She smiled at his warmth. "Yes," Hermione immediately agreed, and met Steve's eyes. "After the War." Soldiers began to disperse into the camp around them, and Bucky raised his voice. "Ey!" He called, and heads turned. "Let's hear it for Captain America!" Thunderous applause swept over Hermione. Whoops and cheers echoed off the pine trees. Men laughed to each other, and further chants were thrown in with their celebration. "Fuck those Krauts!" "For the Captain!" "You great American asshole!" Steve took in the praise with a half smile, his gaze sweeping over the men surrounding him in satisfaction. Some might have called it pride, but Hermione knew he was just grateful he had the chance to save lives. As the cheers began to crescendo in the clearing, charged with the last lingering energy of desperate men finding escape from certain death, Steve's face turned down. His attention fully fell over Hermione like the caress of a hot fire on a chilled evening. It seemed to seep into her skin and awaken every part of her body she'd thought long put to rest. He smiled at her. The blue costume helmet that he wore on stage only the day before shielded his eyes from the rest of the men, but Hermione was at the perfect height beneath his face to see the overwhelmed flash of his eyes under his thankful expression. November 5th, 1943 "I can't explain it," Howard said, removing the goggles covering his eyes and narrowing them at his microscope. "It's like nothing I've ever seen before." Hermione grimaced. She'd been afraid of that. "Well what can you tell me?" she asked. Howard took a frustrated swig of something dark colored from a glass on his desk, and wiped the sleeve of his white coat across his lips. "It's what we thought originally." He motioned to the blue colored sample they'd extracted from a Hydra gun. "It's some kind of energy. How they produced it, or where they even got the components for it is beyond even me." "Do you want me to take a look at it?" Hermione asked, eyes scanning the room filled with Howard's assistants. "Later on?" Howard frowned for a moment, before his eyebrows rose. "Oh, you mean with your - can you scan things with it?" "It's a tool Howard. I can do lots of things." He nodded. "It's actually not a bad idea. I might just have to take you up on that. But here-" He stepped away from the microscope. "-come look at this." He led Hermione across the lab to a thickly enclosed metal box with metal claw-like arms inside with only one thick pane of glass to help them view inside of it. Hermione watched as Howard stood behind the machine and navigated one of the claw arms to remove another small sample from the Hydra magazine. A glowing blue speck less than half the size of her pinky nail tipped the metal. "We found that its emission signature is unusual. Alpha and Beta ray are both neutral." He winked at her. "Not that any of our new soldiers noticed that, bringing these things in." "I feel as if they'd been rather preoccupied Howard," Hermione answered. "That's what they all say." She struggled not to roll her eyes. "Although both rays are interesting." Hermione frowned. "What about Gamma ray?" Howard glanced at her. "High. Gamma emission is very high." Hermione felt something tickle at the corner of her mind. Something she'd forgotten. Something about the strange blue energy, and of all things, gamma radiation. Somehow there was a connection, wasn't there? Howard went back to the sample. "But it looks harmless enough." He navigated the arms closer together. "Such a small, little thing. Hard to see what the fuss is about." "Gamma radiation," Hermione echoed to herself just above a whisper. Gamma radiation, the product of radioactive nuclear decay. She concentrated. Where have I heard this before? Howard moved the metal arms closer and closer to each other. Hermione recalled a conversation in Germany three years ago. From a completely different world. Her breath stopped. Her eyes widened, and then zeroed in on the luminous energy. The second metal arm touched the speck of blue, and a white electrical current blazed across the metal and energy source. Hermione only had the chance to inhale, before she was thrown backward off her feet in a resounding explosion. The observation window burst outwards. Hermione flew through the air and crash landed against the cement wall on the opposite side of the room. Her head slammed against the stone, and she dropped like a troll to the ground. Glass showered her from above. Howard struggled to sit up from where he had landed beside Hermione, shards of glass falling from his lab coat and hair. His glazed eyes tried to focus. "Someone-" he coughed, and several lab assistants got to their feet and rushed forwards. "Write that down!" Hermione felt the dark edges of unconsciousness close in around her. She tried to lift her head. It felt as if someone had put dumbbells on her neck. Glass fell from her curls. "Howard-" she gasped. She heard faint shuffling at her side, and felt a warm hand touch her jaw. It came away slick against her skin. "Herm- Someone get a medic!" Howard roared to the room. "Howard-" Hermione tried again, blinking furiously at the spinning room and encroaching darkness. "Power- sss- Tesseract." "Hermione, hold on!" "Tesser-" Hermione managed once more, before her eyes rolled up into the back on her head, and then she knew no more. Hermione awoke on the rooftop of a skyscraper. She blinked several times, hands traveling the length of her body for the cuts and bruises she was sure she would find from the explosion. When she felt nothing but the brisk outside air of a smog filled city, Hermione sat up. She quickly took a look around the empty rooftop, and managed to get to her feet. Looking over the edge of the building, she realized several things. 1) Thick concrete buildings filled the horizon around her, which meant she was no longer in the forest in Italy, but in a large city. 2) The cars navigating through the blocky streets were driving on the right side of the lane, and advertisements wrapping around some of the buildings indicated that she was in an English speaking place. So she was not in England, but most likely, a large American City. New York, or maybe San Francisco. 3) And lastly, every advertisement and car style she saw made it look like she was back in 2007. "Do you recognize where you are?" a woman's voice asked from behind. Hermione jumped in place and spun around to the new voice. When her eyes landed, her brows rose. For behind her, a bald woman a little taller than Hermione, stood wrapped in what looked like layers of Tibetan robes colored in orange, blue, and purple. She had very pale skin, blue eyes, and sharp cheekbones that seemed to take up most of her face. The crinkles at the corners of her eyes indicated the years of life she had lived, but Hermione couldn't tell if she was youthful, or elder. It was as if she was in a perpetual state of inbetween. "Who - who are you?" She gave Hermione an airy lift of her lips. "My students call me the Ancient One," she answered, and a shiver passed down Hermione's back. "However, I am Sorceress Supreme of this world, Master and teacher of the mystic arts." Hermione stared. The breath left her lungs. Her eyes filled with unshed tears, and desperate relief swept over her. "M-Magic," she whispered. "You're a teacher of magic." The Ancient One nodded. "As you are a wielder." Hermione's mind raced, and her relief turned into suspicion. Several questions nearly erupted forth, but Hermione settled with the most pressing. "How do you know me? Where are we?" The Ancient One walked forwards, and placed her thin hands behind her back. She looked over the edge of the building. "Do you not know? This is in your mind." "New York," Hermione answered immediately, and for some reason, she knew she was right. "2007, or a little before. I was at a conference here." The Ancient One's eyes roamed over the skyline. "In the future." It was not a question. Hermione's eyes narrowed. She searched her pockets and arm holster for her wand, but she felt nothing. Her wand was not with her. The Ancient One's eyes returned. Hermione nearly took a step back. "What do you want?" "Nearly three years ago," the Ancient One said, folding her hands into her sleeves delicately, "I felt you come into this world from a universe that was not our own." Hermione said nothing. "I could not find where you were, but I could feel the foreign energy you brought in with you. The power. This world has not felt its likeness in many centuries, and it drew my eye." "It was an accident," Hermione said truthfully. "My being here. It was from a strange energy source that was neither man made or by magic." The Sorceress Supreme studied her. "I know. By what you call the tesseract." Hermione nodded and looked between both of her eyes. "And I have been searching for a way back since, but I don't think it's possible to, even if I did manage to find it again." "What was done cannot be undone," the older woman agreed softly, and Hermione felt the last bit of hope for her world crumble away. "And I cannot explain to you the decisions of the universe, as a wielder of your strength should be dead from such dimensional magic, but I can shed light on the some of the paths emerging." Hermione looked away, and blinked the tears from her eyes. The Ancient One looked out over the horizon with her. "Are you able to see the future?" Hermione asked. "No," the other woman answered, "not in the sense you might be thinking, but I can see the options of what could be." "And why now?" Hermione asked. "Like you said, it's been nearly three years. What makes today the day to know everything?" The Ancient One placed her arms on the railing of the rooftop, and looked down at the palms of her hands. "This material universe we live in, and your old where you use to, are not all that there is. This universe is only one of an infinite number. Worlds without end. Some benevolent and life-giving, others filled with malice and hunger. Dark places, where powers older even than time may lie ravenous… and waiting," she said. "My place as Sorceress Supreme for this world means that I fight against an infinite multiverse filled with infinite dangers to protect this reality. I am granted powers that show me the best course to protect all of Earth. Some of these dangers are so potent that no matter what I do, it still finds its way to affect our universe. The tesseract and powers like it are such dangers," she looked to Hermione, "And you were born from one of these in this universe. For reasons unknown, you were not immediately destroyed when you passed through not only dimensions, but time itself as well." Hermione was silent. "You asked, why now?" she continued. "And it is because you are at the precipice of change in this reality. You, who should not exist, somehow have the power to alter the threads in the fabric of our timeline. As I have divinned dark paths in the future of Earth, I see you now plucking at the strings." None of what she said made any sort of sense to Hermione. "Cosmic energy? The multiverse." Hermione's head swam. "I confess, those are terms that i've read in books and in passing research, but I never thought of it more than theoretically." "Until you traveled by dimensional magic." Hermione huffed a laugh. "I thought it was more of a cosmic glitch than anything else," she confessed. "But you're telling me it's all real, and it has a purpose for me." The Ancient One smiled for the first time, and true warmth shone from her eyes. "I tell this to you, to bring you hope child," she said. "You are able to walk a fragile line no other is able to." Another shiver ran down Hermione's back. "And life is not kind to those who fight back at Fate," the Ancient One said sadly. "Although I cannot clearly see all of your roads, I do know that one day... some day, we will meet properly when your soul is broken by this world." The blood left Hermione's face. She took a step back in horror at what that could mean. "But it will not be the end for you," the Ancient One continued on, her eyes searing into Hermione. "You have your magic, and with that, the power to change your reality. To change the world. It will be difficult, but you can once more, feel whole." A cold burst of New York air swept against the pair, but it was not the frigid wind that set goosebumps over her skin. "That feels like a prophecy." She shook her bald head. "It is not certain. Every path may change." Hermione let that settle. "Is there anything you can tell me for certain?" "That this is a dream," The sorceress answered, extending a hand to New York. "And Johann Schmidt must not be allowed to continue to wield the power of the tesseract. He provokes what he does not understand, and it will bring destruction to our world." Hermione grimaced. "Another cosmic certainty?" The Ancient One smiled again and took a step back. "When you are ready to begin your training, you may find me through the Astral Dimension." Hermione blinked. Training? Before Hermione could ask her anything further, the Ancient One disappeared in a gust of wind, New York fell away into darkness, and Hermione opened her eyes. November 6th, 1943 "... 'why you should wish to leave this beautiful country and go back to the dry, gray place you call Kansas.'" Hermione's first awareness was a deep, comforting voice amongst the darkness. "'That is because you have no brains,' answered the girl," it said again, and Hermione began to recognize the male's velvety, gentle timbre. "No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home.'" Hermione slowly opened her eyes, and felt soft cotton sheets surrounding her lower body. Looking down at herself, pale bandages wrapped around parts of Hermione's arms, and she could feel the pressure of another bandage across her chest, but she did not feel pain. Daylight streamed through a window at the end of the small hospital room, and she blinked several times to focus the blurry world. "'The Scarecrow sighed.'," she heard him continue, and Hermione slowly turned her face against her hospital pillow. Steve sat in his military uniform next to her bed with a ratty green covered book between his hands. His outer jacket was discarded carefully over the back of his chair, and his service hat sat on his knee. He was leaned forwards, elbows on his thighs, and his cornflower blue eyes were focused on the text below. "'Of course I cannot understand it,' the scarecrow said," he read to her, and she smiled at his choice of book. "'If your heads were stuffed with straw, like mine, you would probably all live in beautiful places, and then Kansas would have no people at all. It is fortunate for Kansas that you -" Hermione shifted in her bed to turn more fully towards Steve, and the metal on her bed creaked. Steve's head snapped up and his eyes widened. "Hermione!" he whispered in a startled breath. Then he was on his feet, and the book snapped closed. Hermione frowned. "I was hoping you'd read more." Her voice sounded thin and scratchy. "You're awake!" Steve exclaimed, and knelt low to her bed. His fingers edged the skin of Hermione's jaw, and then they came under her chin, so that she was looking up to him. He stared down at her intently. Hermione felt fire rise to her cheeks. "How are you feeling?" he asked, and his thumb grazed the other side of her jaw. "Do you need anything?" "I'm -" Hermione started, and swallowed. Steve's eyes followed her movements. "I'm fine!" she burst out. "I feel okay. No pain." Steve's other hand cupped the side of her face. "You sure?" She cleared her throat. "Water," she said. "I would like water. And my wand." Relief filled Steve's eyes, and he let go of her to walk to the opposite side of the room where a pitcher and cup stood waiting. She immediately missed his warmth. "Your wand is beneath your pillow," Steve said as he filled a glass and turned back around. Hermione slowly brought a hand behind her head, and felt the familiar edges of her wand. "Howard brought it in this morning for you." He came back to her and she gratefully accepted the cup. When she had drained the water, she found Steve sitting back down in the chair besides her bed. "What happened?" she asked. "Severe concussion, lacerations from the glass, but no lasting damage," Steve reported. "Is everyone else okay?" "Only you needed immediate medical attention. The doc says you should be okay, but you're not to do anything strenuous for the next day or two. Head wounds can be serious." Hermione nodded. "How long have I been here?" "Just through the night," Steve said. "The only thing you've missed was my meeting with Colonel Phillips and Peggy in the Command Room this mornin. I'm sure you'll get a report on your desk about it. But there's at least five Hydra weapons factories scattered in occupied territory, and Bucky reported that whatever they were building was being shipped out to a top secret Hydra facility somewhere that we don't know about. Peggy's coordinating with MI6 to find its location." Hermione pulled out her wand, and unwrapped some of her bandages while Steve was talking. She used Episky on every small glass shard wound she could find. "Was there anything else?" she asked. Steve watched her while she worked and he licked his lips before continuing, "The SSR is focusing on Johann and his factories. They want me to put together a small team to take down every Hydra factory and base we come across. Wipe 'em off the map." Hermione blinked in surprise. "Have you chosen a team?" He nodded. "I've got some in mind, but we're meeting tonight so I can ask officially." He nodded again. "He's knows. He's agreed to do it once medical clears him." Hermione frowned. "How badly was he hurt in that Hydra base?" Steve sighed. "No one knows. He-" he stopped. "They experimented on him doll. Hurt him. Did things that he won't talk to me about." She listened to him, silent, overcome with compassion. Steve looked to his shining shoes. "You know physically he's in workin order. Eats and drinks like the rest of us," he shook his head. "But sometimes, I see him, and I know he's far away," he admitted. "I don't know how to help him." Hermione sat straight up in bed and reached over to touch Steve's shoulder. "I think just being there for him is enough right now," she said. Steve peered upwards and put his hand on top of hers. A corner of his mouth lifted. "You're probably right. I just wish there was more that I could do." Before Hermione could say something back, a nurse walked into her room. When Hermione was released back into freedom later that afternoon, she asked for Steve to find Colonel Phillips, Peggy, and Howard. "I know what Johann is using to power his weapons," she told him before he left. He kissed her cheek once, twice - and the took her hands in his. "Have them meet me in my office," Hermione said. "This changes everything." Ah yes, the Ancient One. I honestly can't wait to hear your theories on this! Thanks for reading :)

If you love Wales you will surely shed a tear this morning. Not since the black day of Aberfan, nearly half a century ago, has a calamity seemed to strike so close to the heart of all that this small proud country means to us. At Aberfan in 1966 many little children died in a coal-spill landslide; at Gleision colliery this week a handful of middle-aged men were trapped at a drift-mine coalface, but both tragedies have been peculiarly Welsh tragedies, and must revive in all of us who are proud to be Welsh, all 3 million of us, wherever we live, whatever our politics, whichever of our two languages we speak, a sense of sad community. The nature of our sadness is, of course, connected with the particularly Welsh circumstances of the tragedy. Once again, as so often before, misery has struck the industrial valleys of south Wales, where so much of the Welsh mystique has been fostered. This is the strange and romantic country, part tight-packed urbanism, part stern moorland where wild ponies roam, that Richard Llewellyn made famous in How Green Was My Valley and has lingered in the world's imagination ever since. In the days when Welsh coal and steel powered fleets and factories everywhere, this was the country of the male voice choirs and the rugby champions, of the great religious revivalists of long ago, where culture thrived among the pit heads and merry comedians worked the pubs. Part of the sad allusion of Gleision is the fact that this small drift-mine of the Tawe Valley is one of the very last of all the coal mines of Wales – one of only four still working out of the hundreds that once made these valleys a sort of Klondike. For better or for worse, almost the entire immense industry has left the region now, and its tight terraced villages, once so black and busy, are now simultaneously spruced up with fresh paint and conservation, and desperately wasted by unemployment. But then irony is endemic to the allure of Wales, bitter-sweetness essential to its attitudes. We love it, after all, partly because of its faults. Welshness is almost the very last national abstraction that can be laughed at without offending political correctness, and nobody laughs at it more determinedly (if reluctantly) than the Welsh. The national pride is real, but it is tempered always with comedy and paradox. God knows the old place has its faults and its foolishness, but it can move its patriots in a way that is not merely patriotic, not just fuelled by old traditions and addictions, but has to it, to my mind, genuine elements of the spiritual. The chapel culture has faded fast in Wales, materialism is as triumphant here as anywhere else, but still a sense of community survives. It is based not on pride of power or history, but rather I think on some more transcendental loyalty, an ill-defined idea that can to this day make so many of us feel a personal empathy one for another, in happiness and even more in sorrow. Perhaps the very physical presence of Wales itself is the strength that binds us – an elemental kind of affinity most famously expressed in what is probably the best-loved poem in the Welsh language, by the 19th-century railwayman John Ceiriog Hughes: Aros mae'r mynyddau mawr, Rhuo trostyny mae y gwynt … The mighty hills unchanging stand, Tireless the winds across them blow … For yes, we are an emotional lot. Accuse me of sentiment too, mock me for mawkishness. I don't care. There are tears in my eyes now, as I send my love from one end of Wales to the other, from Llanystumdwy in the flank of Snowdonia down to Cilybebyll in the Swansea valley, from one old writer at her computer beside the Dwyfor river to those unknown friends of mine mourning their loss beside the Gleision colliery.

Shares of Ambarella Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA) are up 16.4% as of 12:30 p.m. EST Friday after the video processing chip specialist announced better-than-expected fiscal third-quarter 2018 earnings. More specifically, Ambarella's revenue declined 11.4% year over year to $89.1 million, within Ambarella's guidance provided last quarter for revenue between $87.5 million and $90.5 million. Trending toward the bottom line, Ambarella's adjusted gross margin arrived at 64%, above guidance for between 62% and 63.5%. That translated to adjusted net income of $25.7 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, above investors' expectations for earnings of $0.67 per share. As expected, Ambarella's top-line decline was primarily driven by lower sales of chips to GoPro during the quarter (down nearly 47% year over year to $18.4 million). Meanwhile, non-GoPro revenue climbed 7.2% to $70.6 million, as strength in the IP security, auto, and non-GoPro wearables markets was partially offset by moderate declines in drone revenues. Perhaps most encouraging, Ambarella CEO Fermi Wang noted the company had "solid execution in support of the development and delivery of our next generation computer vision solutions." Ambarella successfully demonstrated its CV1 chip to customers and commenced sampling in both the security and automotive markets. For the current quarter, Ambarella expects revenue to be between $68 million and $72 million. That's down roughly 22.3% to 17.7% year over year, but about in line with consensus estimates.

Implement Zotero at your institution There are countless ways Zotero can be put to work at schools or research centers. Students of all stripes, grade school to post-grad, can benefit from Zotero's time-saving organizational features. Teachers can use it as an instructional tool or as part of methods courses. By installing Zotero on every computer, libraries and writing centers can provide their users with the tools necessary to get the most out of their time there. Centers for Teaching Excellence and assessment groups at schools which use Zotero would have a valuable method of gathering data about students' research skills. Of course, these are just a few of the ways Zotero can make a difference at your institution. Develop Institution-Specific Documentation Feel free to copy and repurpose any content (text, images, videos, etc.) from the Zotero website to help support and promote Zotero. The best examples of institution-specific documentation tend to broadly orient users to Zotero, offer institution specific information, and connect users to local workshops, training and basic support. Feel free to point users to Zotero's documentation and forums for advanced use and issues. Take a look at George Mason University's , Georgia State University's and University of Baltimore's guides for a few examples. The University of Michigan's Zotero Tutorial is also good and quite extensive. More information is available under Third Party Documentation.

I'm Mallory. I have had Diabetes since 2/17/99. I had been wetting the bed constantly and drinking constantly. At the end of the day there would be 18 cups lying out. I was also losing lots of weight. I weighed 93 pounds! Then my weight dropped to 83 in 2 1/2 weeks. I went to the doctor and my Mom told them about all the diabetes in my family. He said, "Let's check her." Then five hours later he checked my charts and we went down there because I wanted to know if I had it or not and unfortunately he said, "Mallory you know you have a serious type of disease and there is no cure for it." I remember those words just like yesterday. Well, when my Mom was pregnant with her second child (My Brother) the doctor told her that if she had three kids one of them would have diabetes. Well, my Mom had a third child--it was me. Oh and guess who got diabetes ME! I always wonder all of the time and I'll never stop wondering why it had to be me! I cried and cried. My Dad put me down a little bit by telling me that I was eating too much sugar. My Mom told me that wasn't true. Well, I play sports like softball and some soccer and when I play when I'm on the field I say TIME OUT I'm low. Then I drink a juice and some crackers and I'm pumped up as ever. I live in Mississippi and that's the number one state with Diabetes in it! That's bad! I FINALLY got the Insulin Pump I LOVE it! It is like a blessing! I get to sleep later instead of getting up at 6:00 am! I have the Disetronic Htron plus Insulin pump! I wanted the Mini Med at first because of the way it looked but I think the Disetronic was better but that is your choice! If you want to know anything more about the pump e-mail me! Well, hope you liked what I said! Please e-mail me if you want to do so. I have two e-mail addresses and they are [email protected] and [email protected].

We’re delighted to announce that we have won a five-way pitch to design and build the National Lottery funded ‘Streets of Bournemouth’ virtual museum. The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a major grant of £440,000 to create the virtual museum in time for the town’s 200th birthday. The website is complex, providing a media library, interactive map, dynamic timeline and archive of documents and images. There will also be a community archive where Bournemouth residents can add their photos, stories and memories. Pat Gargan, Business Development Manager, says “We were completely won over by Campbell Rowley’s enthusiasm and passion for the project. They combine stunning creative work with a real understanding of the technologies involved in such a complex web application. They always bring something extra to the table, and we have really enjoyed working with them in the past.”

The Stone Gods HARCOURT, INC.Copyright © 2007Jeanette Winterson All right reserved. ISBN: 978-0-15-101491-0 Chapter One Planet Blue This new world weighs a yatto-gram. But everything is trial-size; tread-on-me tiny or blurred-out-of-focus huge. There are leaves that have grown as big as cities, and there are birds that nest in cockleshells. On the white sand there are long-toed clawprints deep as nightmares, and there are rock pools in hand-hollows finned by invisible fish. Trees like skyscrapers, and housing as many. Grass the height of hedges, nuts the swell of pumpkins. Sardines that would take two men to land them. Eggs, pale-blue-shelled, each the weight of a breaking universe. And, underneath, mushrooms soft and small as a mouse ear. A crack like a cut, and inside a million million microbes wondering what to do next. Spores that wait for the wind and never look back. Moss that is concentrating on being green. A man pushes forward with a microphone-'And is there oxygen?' Yes, there is. 'And fresh water?' Abundant. 'And no pollution?' None. Are there minerals? Is there gold? What's the weather like? Does it rain a lot? Has anyone tried the fish? Are there any humans? No, there are not any humans. Any intelligent life at all? Depends what you mean by intelligent. There is something there, yes, and it's very big and very good at its job. A picture of a scaly-coated monster with metal-plated jaws appears on the overhead screen. The crowd shrieks and swoons. No! Yes! No! Yes! The most efficient killing machine ever invented before gun-powder. Not bad for a thing with a body the size of a stadium and a brain the size of a jam-jar. I am here today to answer questions: 'The lady in pink-' 'Are these monsters we can see vegetarian?' 'Ma'am, would you be vegetarian with teeth like that?' It's the wrong answer. I am here to reassure. A scientist steps forward. That's better. Scientists are automatically reassuring. This is a very exciting, and very reassuring, day. We are here today to witness the chance of a lifetime. The chance of many lifetimes. The best chance we have had since life began. We are running out of planet and we have found a new one. Through all the bright-formed rocks that jewel the sky, we searched until we found the one we will call home. We're moving on, that's all. Everyone has to do that some time or other, sooner or later, it's only natural. My name is Billie Crusoe. 'Excuse me, is your name Billie Crusoe?' 'From Enhancement Services?' 'Yes, Every Day a New Day.' (As we say in Enhancement.) 'Can you tell viewers how the new planet will affect their lives?' 'Yes, I can. The new planet offers us the opportunity to do things differently. We've had a lot of brilliant successes here on Orbus - well, we are the success story of the universe, aren't we? I mean to say, no other planet hosts human life.' The interviewer nods and smiles vigorously. 'But we have taken a few wrong turnings. Made a few mistakes. We have limited natural resources at our disposal, and a rising population that is by no means in agreement as to how our world as a whole should share out these remaining resources. Conflict is likely. A new planet means that we can begin to redistribute ourselves. It will mean a better quality of life for everyone - the ones who leave, and the ones who stay.' 'So a win-win situation?' 'That's right, winning numbers all the way.' Through the golden arches that are the city gates, the President of the Central Power is arriving. The arches stand like angels, their wings folded back against the lesser lights or the skyline. The laser-gates, which look so solid, appear and disappear, like the wall that rings the city, a visible and invisible sign of progress and power. Look in the light - the slight shimmer is their long energy. They are the aura of the city: emblem and warning, its halo and shield. The President's cavalcade has reached the Circle. Flags, carpets, flowers, flunkeys, hitmen, pressmen, frontmen, back-up, support, medics, techies, crew, rig, lights, sound, real-time, archive, relay, vox-pop, popcorn, polish, makeup, dust-down, ready, green - GO. The President is making a speech. The Central Power has funded the space mission for hundreds of years, and it is understood that any discoveries belong to us. He compares us to the men who found the Indies, the Americas, the Arctic Circle; he becomes emotional, he reaches for a line of poetry. For a moment, there it is, in handwriting that nobody can read, slanting under the images of Planet Blue - She is all States, all Princes I ... The President is making a speech. Unique moment for mankind ... unrivalled opportunity ... war averted ... summit planned between the Central Power, Eastern Caliphate, and our friends in the SinoMosco Pact. Peaceful compromise promised. New planets for old. Full pictures and information across the twenty-two geo-cities of the Central Power by tomorrow morning. New colonizing mission being made ready. Monsters will be humanely destroyed, with the possible exception of scientific capture of one or two types for the Zooeum. Into the Circle come the spacemen themselves, in shiny titanium pressure suits, oversize helmets under their arms. These are men glamorous as comets, trailing fame in fire-tails. There's a robot with them - well, a Robo sapiens, incredibly sexy, with that look of regret they all have before they are dismantled. It's policy; all information-sensitive robots are dismantled after mission, so that their data cannot be accessed by hostile forces. She's been across the universe, and now she's going to the recycling unit. The great thing about robots, even these Robo sapiens, is that nobody feels sorry for them. They are only machines. She stands there, while the silver-suited saviours shake the President's hand. She's going to tell us all about the chemical and mineral composition of the new planet, its atmospheric readings, its possible history and potential evolution. Then, when the public part is done, she'll go backstage, transfer all her data, and open her power cells until her last robot flicker. It's a kind of suicide, a kind of bleeding to death, but they show no emotion because emotions are not part of their programming. Amazing to look so convincing and be nothing but silicon and a circuit-board. She glances over to the Support Stand and catches my eye. I can't help blushing. I think she has read my mind. They can do that. This is a great day for science. The last hundred years have been hell. The doomsters and the environmentalists kept telling us we were as good as dead and, hey presto, not only do we find a new planet, but it is perfect for new life. This time, we'll be more careful. This time we will learn from our mistakes. The new planet will be home to the universe's first advanced civilization. It will be a democracy - because whatever we say in public, the Eastern Caliphate isn't going to be allowed within a yatto-mile of the place. We'll shoot 'em down before they land. No, we won't shoot them down, because the President of the Central Power has just announced a new world programme of No War. We will not shoot down the Eastern Caliphate, we will robustly repel them. The way the thinking is going in private, we'll leave this rundown rotting planet to the Caliphate and the SinoMosco Pact, and they can bomb each other to paste while the peace-loving folks of the Central Power ship civilization to the new world. The new world - El Dorado, Atlantis, the Gold Coast, Newfoundland, Plymouth Rock, Rapanaui, Utopia, Planet Blue. Chanc'd upon, spied through a glass darkly, drunken stories strapped to a barrel of rum, shipwreck, a Bible Compass, a giant fish led us there, a storm whirled us to this isle. In the wilderness of space, we found ... My name is Billie Crusoe. Here comes my boss, Manfred. He's the kind of man who was born to rise and rise: a human elevator. 'Billie, have you voiced through the downloads?' 'Yes, everything is there - sketches, diagrams, and a step-by-step explanation of how Planet Blue will change all our lives.' 'We have to present this positively.' 'It is positive, isn't it? Are you saying there are presentation problems with the chance that everyone is dying for?' 'Don't use the word "dying".' 'But Orbus is dying.' 'Orbus is not dying. Orbus is evolving in a way that is hostile to human life.' 'OK, so it's the planet's fault. We didn't do anything, did we? Just fucked it to death and kicked it when it wouldn't get up.' 'I know how you feel. I don't say you're entirely wrong in your analysis, but that isn't the way we can present the situation. The President has sent a memo this morning to instruct Enhancement Services and Media Services to work together on this. We don't want any stupid questions - any difficulties. The last thing the Central Power needs now is any unrest of our own. There will be trouble enough with the Caliphate and the Pact.' 'Because you're not giving a ride to either the Believers or the Collective?' 'When did they ever do anything for us?' The Central Power is trying to live responsibly on a crowded planet, and that bunch are still scanning the skies for God, and draining the Last drops of oil out of the ground. They can go to Hell.' Manfred looked down at my notebook. He frowned his older-man-thinker-type-sexy frown. 'Billie, if you weren't so eccentric, you'd fit in better here. Why are you writing in a notebook? Nobody reads and writes any more - there's no need. Why can't you use a SpeechPad like everybody else?' 'Notebook. Pencil. They have an old-fashioned charm that I like.' 'And I like the present just as it is. You still living in that bio-bubble thing?' 'You mean the farm? Of course I am. If I'd been able to make it pay I wouldn't be working for you. But a world that clones its meat in the lab and engineers its crops underground thinks natural food is dirty and diseased.' 'Yeah. And pigs are planes. So the farm is leased to Living Museum and I am enslaved to you.' 'You don't get many scientists coming across to work in Enhancement ... It's not exactly a career move.' I had a feeling that something else was here - one of those ice-bound conversations that skate over the corpse in the lake. 'Is there a problem with my work?' Manfred shrugged. 'Like I said, a Science Service high-flyer doesn't need to take a job with Enhancement.' 'You work for Enhancement.' He was getting impatient. 'Billie, I'm going to be running the whole shooting match within two years. I have a graph. I have a Promotion Plan. I'm heading for the top floor.' (Yep, there he goes, Penthouse Man.) 'You aren't heading anywhere. You could have been promoted to Management within six months, but you're still on the ground, visiting people in their homes.' 'That's me, a cross between a District Nurse and an Insurance Salesman.' 'What's a District Nurse?' 'Never mind. History is a hobby of mine. It's not illegal, and neither is the farm, and neither is wanting a simple life. No graph, no Promotion Plan. OK?' He held up his hands. He turned to leave. 'Oh, you should move your Solo. Enforcement just gave you a ticket.' 'But I have a permit!' 'Take it up with Enforcement.' 'Manfred, this has been going on for a year - I clear them, they start again. I'm not paranoid, but if someone is out to get me, I would like to know.' 'No one is out to get you. But move the Solo. I would if I were you.' He swung his handsome body and handsome head out and away to higher things. Manfred is one of those confident men who have had themselves genetically Fixed as late-forties. Most men prefer to Fix younger than that, and there are no women who Fix past thirty. 'The DNA Dynasty', they called us, when the first generation of humans had successful recoding. Age is information failure. The body loses fluency. Command stations no longer connect with satellite stations. Relay breaks down. The body is designed to repair and renew itself, and most cells are only about a third as old as our birth years, but mitochondrial DNA is as old as we are, and has always accumulated mutations and distortions faster than DNA in the nucleus. For centuries we couldn't fix that - and now we can. Science can't fix everything, though - women feel they have to look youthful, men less so, and the lifestyle programmes are full of the appeal of the older man. Everybody wants one - young girls and gay toyboys adore Manfred. His boyfriend has designed a robot that looks like him. Myself, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I went downstairs, through the clotted ranks of Security and Support, officially known as Enforcement Services and Enhancement Services, but the SS has a better ring to it than the EE. We work together a lot of the time, soft-cop hard-cop kind of thing. It's my job - that is, our job - in Enhancement to explain to people that they really do want to live their lives in a way that is good for them and good for the Community. Enforcement steps in when it doesn't quite work out. I know all the guys in Enforcement. I wave and smile. They nod, and let me pass. Outside, there's a line of Solos and a line of Limos. S is for Solo - a single-seater solar-powered transport vehicle. L is for Limo, a multi-seater hydrogen hybrid. S is for short-distance. L is for long-distance. Single-letter recognition is taught in schools. In front of one of these vehicles, and one only, a CanCop is punching numbers into the Coder wired into his arm. CanCops are always around for back-up at high-security events - all they are is robots, soup cans with the power of Arrest. On one of the long line of vehicles - and only one, mine - a bright yellow laser-light is covering the windshield. That's my penalty notice. Unless I press the yellow button on the parking meter next to it, I will not be able to drive away because I will not be able to see out of my glass. It's a clever system - you have to accept guilt before you can drive away and protest your innocence. P is for Parking Meter. Slide up to the kerb, get out, look around, and the shiny solar-powered parking meter says to you, in its shiny solar-powered parking-meter voice - Hi there! You can park here for thirty minutes. I will bill your account directly. Welcome to the neighbourhood. The meter then photographs your licence plate, connects to your Parking Account, which you must keep in credit at all times, and sends a digital receipt to your HomeScreen or your WorkScreen, whichever you have nominated. That's all there is to it, unless you run late, in which case the meter will laser-light your windshield in such a way as to make it impossible for you to drive off without accepting the Penalty. So here I am - and I've been booked, even though I have a great big permit on the front of the car, with the date and time of my arrival and the impressive symbol of the Central Power. I have been booked - again. If I were the paranoid type, which I am, I might almost start to believe that ... Believe what? I wave my arms at the CanCop, and point to the permit. He shrugs his tin shoulders. The guys from Enforcement are laughing - it's true this kind of cock-up, or cop-up, happens all the time, and it's a bore but not a problem ... The trouble is that, for me, it's becoming a big problem. I get out my Omni - the phone that does everything - and it automatically accesses the Parking Bureau Help Line. A sympathetic face flashes up in blonde pixels on my phone. 'DUE TO ...' I slam her off before she gets any further. D is for Due to. Whenever anybody calls to complain, a sympathetic person - well, a sympathetic robot, actually, because they are programmed to be more sympathetic than persons. Anyway, this sympathetic robot says, 'DUE TO', and you know that due to a high volume of calls, due to heavy demand, due to staff shortages, due to difficulties, due to system failure, due to freak storms, due to little green men squatting the offices, well, DUE TO, nobody is going to speak to you, at least not in this lifetime. Fuck it luck it flick it. F is for Fuck it. And in the middle of this hi-tech, hi-stress, hi-mess life, F is for Farm. My farm. Twenty hectares of pastureland and arable, with a stream running through the middle like a memory. Step into that water and you remember everything, and what you don't remember, you invent. My farm is the last of its line - like all ancient ancestor everyone forgot. It's a bio-dome world, secret and sealed: a message in a bottle from another time.

I was not surprised to see an article today regarding a study just completed and reported in the British Journal of Psychiatry showing that spiritual people are more likely than atheists to have mental illness, take drugs, and a host of other negative behaviors. Yes, the blog title is probably a little sensationalist but I’m sure with my previous blogs I’ve scared all the ‘spiritual’ people away anyway. Interestingly those who counted themselves as “religious” were better off than those counting themselves as “spiritual”. It makes sense to me as in my experience those people who count themselves as “spiritual” almost spit out the phrase “I’m not religious, I’m spiritual” if you happen to ask if they are religious. They will strive to point out to you that “it isn’t a religion, it is a way of life” as if that suddenly proves it isn’t a steaming pile of something foul. Also in my experience those people who count themselves as religious are usually those who are brought up in the faith so see their church going more as a “tradition” rather than a spiritual encounter that has them waving their hands in the air and trying to cast “the devil” out of people like me. People with strong traditions usually are more grounded (which is what the tradition provides – a repeated process as an anchor) and can use that for support in times of stress. Atheists have rock solid science to ground them, and interestingly atheists are shown to be more moral and law-abiding than Christians or religious people as they will respect the law whereas Christians will put their religion above the law! People who would define themselves as spiritual usually have some kind of need for acceptance (an unhealthy one) or are from a difficult up-bringing, which drove them to the bright lights and promises of the happy clappy church that they belong to. Sure you will find exceptions, but for those who have experience with these “spiritual” churches I’m sure you are nodding your head in agreement. I’m thankful to see that belief in some fantasy god is slowly going down around the world. With some luck hopefully within a generation or so it will totally be gone just as past belief that the world was flat disappeared as more people accepted logic. I’m sure at that time there were some hold-out nutters though that would have sworn black and blue that the world was indeed flat. As with current deceived spiritual nuts they probably used the same “prove that it isn’t flat then” argument mirrored today by the “prove god doesn’t exist then” crowd. Proving a negative is not the most effective method of proving something though. And if what I’m typing has made you livid because you are one of these spiritual freaks, then good. Maybe it will make you angry enough to research some scientific truth. Keeping you in the dark is the goal of the manipulator. Don’t be afraid to “shine the light of truth” onto any stubborn spiritual beliefs you have.

What can I tell you about my daughter, Marie-Claire Isabella Goldfarb? I can tell you about her brilliance, her beauty, and her talent. But what I most want to tell you about is her loving and generous heart. Macie is the kind of girl who insists on finding out about your day before telling you about hers. She is the kind of girl who goes out of her way to communicate with people so they don't get their feelings hurt or feel left out. She is the kind of girl who speaks sweetly to little children, who rush up to and ask her for hugs and attention. They all know her name. Macie has always had a mind of her own since before she was even born. Macie was scheduled to arrive in this world via C-section on a Tuesday. But, Macie, in a move that would prove to be true to her form, decided she would rather make her debut on Monday instead. It has pretty much been that way ever since. Now I knew in my heart before Macie was even born, the way that a mother just knows, that Macie would be a beautiful and highly intelligent little ballerina girl. My husband of course was convinced we were having a boy. That's why they call it "MOTHER'S intuition." We couldn't confirm Macie's gender before she was born, of course, Because again Macie decided not to cooperate during sonograms. She would sit in such a way that we could never verify what or who she would be. She was going to come into this world in her own time and in her own way. Upon being born, the doctor placed Macie in my arms. My very first words to her were, "So when are we going to start ballet lessons?" I actually would have accepted it completely if Macie had decided to be a soccer or softball player or gymnast instead of a dancer. However, Macie was dancing as soon as she was moving and had perfect rhythm from the start. It's not like I made her be a dancer. I think we have already established that Macie does everything on her own terms. What I also love about my daughter is her dedication and determination. Macie is determined to do an excellent job in all of her endeavors. She works very hard at whatever she sets her mind to. Macie has consistently been a straight A student even though she claims she doesn't like school. She doesn't have to be told to do her homework. She just does it. She didn't have to be told to practice for her bat mitzvah. She just did it. She DOES have to be told to help with the laundry, however. Although sometimes she WILL surprise me. Everybody loves Macie. She goes out of her way to be nice to people and reach out to those around her. Younger children gather around her. Older teens enjoy her company. Her friends' parents like having her around because she is so polite and because she will carry on a conversation with them as if THEY were people TOO. Macie is very sensitive and empathic. She has a natural way with animals as well as people. A few summers ago we went to a horse ranch in Wyoming. Macie was by far the best one of us at controlling her horse. There was even a contest in who could get the most cattle in the pen. Macie, of course, got all of the cattle penned in no time. We also call Macie "The Dog Whisperer" because she is the one who can get the dogs to do anything. Dogs won't walk? Macie will get them moving. Dogs won't eat? Macie will coax them into eating the whole bowl of kibble. Macie claims she does NOT want to be a lawyer when she grows up. Yet Macie makes the most well thought out and articulated arguments as to why she should get one special privilege or another. Sometimes I grant her request just because she has made such a wonderfully coherent and well-reasoned argument that I can't bring myself to deny her. I am not sure what Macie will do with her life, but I am pretty certain it will be something amazing. What I want most for her is to live life authentically and on her own terms. I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Click here to know more about Fashion Weeks. Today, let us talk about the spring – summer New York Fashion Week and the most outstanding brands regarding men´s clothes, showing their newest and more innovative clothing lines for upcoming seasons. Bottega Beneta: Italian brand debuting this NYFW On its first catwalk show in New York, the Italian brand Bottega Veneta went for everything and beyond. Like this, models showed excellent designs from Tomas Maier; daring clothes with “complete convincing of the power and elegance of tiger stripes” said the designer, and silky pants pajama style that reminds night walks to store house; very New Yorker style. A lot to discover on Raf Simmons´s newest collection Youth in Motion, which was inspired on the German Movie from the 80´s “I, Cristina F.” about the world of drugs and youth. Therefore, the designer plays along the darkest side of juvenile indulgence, with her presentation of a detailed exploration of the common obsession of a lifestyle that ruins so many lives. In fact, a great share of the incomes received from this particular collection will be given to different organization that help people in recovery from drug abuse and addiction. So, regardless of taste and personal believes people might have, Raf definitely has some credit on taking this clothing line to a whole new level of irreverence and provocation, with perfect outfits for those who want to feel young and stand out. Li – Ning And last but not least, if there is a brand that is justified to make the so call “athleisure” that is the Chinese Li – Ning, as a clothing line created in 1990 by the gymnast of the same name and winner of six Olympic medals. Currently, Li – Ning´s newest clothing line combines sport and Asian design, in particular involving colors like black, white and red that pay tribute to the heritage of the continent, a matter that is achieved also through fabric and silhouettes completely modern, including “ugly sneaker” versions as a tendency that will be here for quite a while.

Asiwaju Rotimi Ajanaku, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, has said that former Governor of the state, Mr. Abiola Ajimobi, remains the best candidate to fill the position of the Deputy National Chairman (South) of APC if the party must survive beyond 2023. Ajanaku made this declaration while reacting to the criticisms that have trailed the nomination of the immediate past Governor of the state as Deputy National Chairman (South) of the APC, Daily Post reports. Some members of the party including the immediate past Deputy Governor, Mr. Moses Adeyemo and other ‘kitchen’ cabinet members of the immediate past Governor had earlier kicked against Ajimobi’s nomination. Some members of the party in Ekiti state have also kicked against Ajimobi’s nomination. But, Ajanaku while reacting, insisted that Ajimobi is a personality capable of bringing sanity and stability to the party ahead of 2023 general elections. He maintained that, if truly APC intends to survive beyond 2023 as against the prediction of some members that the party would cease to exist by 2023, then a leader who wouldn’t be easily manipulated like Ajimobi should be elected as Deputy National Chairman (South) of the party. Ajanaku while addressing journalists on Tuesday in Ibadan, the state capital, cautioned aggrieved party members opposing the nomination of the former governor of Oyo State and advised them to tread with caution.

In this comprehensive collection of genealogies, noted Maryland genealogist Robert Barnes has put together the most authoritative account of the British origins of Maryland families ever published. Families included in this groundbreaking work were chosen by Mr. Barnes based on the following criteria: (a) there was some reason to believe that the families’ home parish in Britain had been identified; (b) the families had taken root and left descendants in the New World; and (c) most had arrived before the year 1800. Source materials on which these genealogies are based derive from a combination of Mr. Barnes’s own extensive research over the past thirty years and the pioneering work on the origins of Maryland families made by earlier researchers such as Henry F. Waters, Lothrop Withington, Harry Wright Newman, Jack and Marion Kaminkow, and, more recently, Peter Wilson Coldham. Some British sources used by Mr. Barnes include printed and manuscript genealogies, county histories and heraldic visitations, works on the peerage and landed gentry, and distinguished periodicals such as The Genealogist, Harleian Society Parish Register Series, and Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica. Clues in Maryland source records were discovered in land records, county and provincial court records, parish registers, probate records, printed and manuscript family histories, and in dozens of well-known periodicals specializing in genealogy and family history. The result is a world-class combination of genealogical source materials that extends the reach of Maryland genealogy well beyond what has been known up until this point. Altogether this work contains information on nearly 500 individuals and families whose descendants came to Maryland. Many of the families, such as the Frowicks, Lewkenors, and Wroths, did not come to Maryland themselves but were ancestors through the marriage of daughters of those who did. Some families, such as the Blakistons, Towneleys, and Keenes, sent more than one individual to Maryland. One hundred and nineteen of the arrivals (24.1%) had a right to bear a coat of arms; 58 families (11.7%) had a well-proven royal descent, while another 73 (14.6%) had a professional, clerical, or mercantile background. The remaining families comprised indentured servants, convicts (only 6), and a number of individuals of undetermined status. More than half of all settlers came from London and the Home Counties and the northern counties of England. In general, families are traced back two or more generations in England and brought forward two or more generations in Maryland. A clear, well-formatted text of more than 500 pages is followed by a 140-page index containing the names of 20,000 individuals–remarkable in themselves in that they can be said to have seeded the population of early Maryland.

Easing Congestion At The Highlands Ohio County commissioners are right to be considering ways to construct a second Interstate 70 exchange at The Highlands. Finding money to do the work will be a challenge, however. A new interchange would take some of the pressure off the existing one during periods of congestion, which are becoming increasingly common at the giant retail center. Commissioners have been kicking the idea around for the past few years. But when they seek state funding for the interchange, they are told there simply isn’t any money to spare at the West Virginia Division of Highways. DOH officials can’t keep up with existing needs for maintenance, much less commit large amounts for improvements such as The Highlands interchange. Bad news from Charleston has prompted commissioners to consider local funding. If that happens, the project would proceed slowly because Ohio County simply does not have the huge amount of money needed. One strategy might be a local-state-federal approach. Commissioners could kick in some funding, obtain a little more from the state, then point the project’s importance out in Washington, in hopes of receiving some cash there. Perhaps there is leftover “stimulus” money for such projects. The interchange fits squarely in the category of an economic development initiative, both to create new jobs and preserve existing ones. The Highlands has grown by leaps and bounds, to the point the original access and egress roads have proven insufficient. Shoppers forced to wait long in traffic sometimes find less aggravating places to spend their money. Within weeks, as the Christmas shopping season gathers steam, ample evidence of the need for what amounts to a traffic pressure-relief valve will present itself. Commissioners should continue planning for a new interchange.

Mexico scenes taken a couple of years ago in Puerto Vallarta and environs. Looking back over a few recent photos, and getting ready to head out again for a couple of weeks to the states of Quintana Roo and Yucatan. Boca de Tomatlan, a very small town where construction work is done by hand, no big-rig equipment to help. The streets are narrow, and still cobblestone. We parked up the hill and walked down into the town that is at the ocean’s edge. El Tuito, farther down the highway, an inland town not on the coastline, that I had read about from a friend I met on Twitter. The town is small and not a lot going on; the draw here was to visit a French couple running a B&B. We were there just for the day, and I wish we could have stayed. The B&B was a wonderful mix of French and Mexican décor, and hearing the owners speaking Spanish with a French accent was a delight. The B&B is Hotelito Jardin Del Tuito. I learned a hard lesson here; I have no photos of the place because the battery on my camera ran out, and no backup. Live and learn; the following photos were taken prior to getting to the Hotelito. The day was blistering hot even though it was November, and I’ve edited the photos to black and white leaving in a brightness and glare that so reminded me of the sun blasting down, and the heat that day. When I travel, it is the small towns and villages that attract me, not necessarily those that have been made famous by a tower or cathedral or palace. It’s that little bit of the everyday that attracts me. We leave Tuesday morning, and I will say adios for now. While I am away, I will try to post a few photos over on my other blog, Pata de Perro, that will be photos only, as I plan on making this a getaway from the internet to just relax, and enjoy some downtime. Time to fill up that creative well again.

Santorum: 'I'm ready to lead' SOMERSET, Pa. — Declaring himself “ready to lead,” former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum formally announced his candidacy for president Monday morning. “I’m ready to do what has to be done for the next generation, with the courage to fight for freedom, with the courage to fight for America,” Santorum said on the county courthouse steps here, flanked by his wife and seven children. “That’s why I’m announcing today that I’m running for president.”Continue Reading Against a vintage campaign backdrop of red, white and blue balloons and an upbeat jazz band, Santorum talked about his campaign to bring back to America the kind of freedoms his coal miner grandfather found after fleeing Benito Mussolini’s Italy. “That’s the American that he came to, that’s the American he believed in, and that’s the American we need today,” Santorum said. He depicted President Barack Obama’s health care reforms as an imposition to that freedom, and a way of getting Americans addicted to more entitlements. “They want to hook you,” he declared. “They don’t want to free you. They don’t want to give you freedom. They don’t believe in you. They believe in themselves, the smart people, the planners.” Santorum’s half hour speech to about 300 supporters — interrupted briefly when an elderly woman fainted in the heat and had to be carried away — touched on both economic and social issues in its withering indictment of Obama’s first term. “He’s devalued our currency, and he’s devalued our culture,” Santorum said, faulting Obama for continued economic woes and for abandoning a legal defense of the Defense of Marriage Act. As Santorum tries to make the case to evangelicals and beyond will take to the road for the next week, starting in Iowa on Tuesday, then Wednesday and Thursday in New Hampshire, back to Iowa for a two-day swing on Friday, and then three more days in New Hampshire. He’ll also be doing a media blitz which will include appearances, on Fox News, MSNBC and CNN as he travels. Despite his difficult path ahead as an underdog in the race, supporters were enthused. “When people start to listen to him, they’ll realize he’s got everything it takes to be a great leader, a great president,” said Augustine Bell, a 63-year-old church administrator from Mars, Pa. “After he wins, he’s actually capable of governing,” said Richard Dillon, a tea party activist in Pittsburgh. “He knows the ropes, he’s been there.” Get reporter alerts

Dazed’s “Tribute” Series Lets Youth Get the Last Word Dazed Digital’s ongoing Tribute series is a collection of short documentaries about teens from all over the world. From videos about homeless teen Lily, who lives in the abandoned warehouses of Jamestown, to charismatic Ezekiel (above), a wannabe preacher and child prodigy who’s a local celebrity in his own neighborhood, the series triumphs in its diversity. Each short film has a different director, so no two documentaries are the same. What is the same, however, are the slice-of-life stories of average teens and the power behind their unique stories. If you have time today, we recommend you sit down and watch them all. There are also Q&As with the directors up on Dazed’s website.

Some are humorous, some are pet peeves of mine, some are both, and a couple are neither. - "Your stupid"? My stupid what? - Your throws of ecstasy send me into throes of amusement. - Never enter your PIN number on an ATM machine. You could get the HIV virus. - You can defuse a bomb. But diffusing it might be a bad idea. - If you really did have baited breath, you would smell rather fishy. - I before E except after C or when sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh. Unless it's weird. - Your is not mine. You're means you are. - Thru is only a word if you're referring to getting a hamburger in your car. - Rouge is a color. A rogue isn't. - Per se means of itself. Per say is only how you pronounce it. - A horde is a large group, often unruly. To hoard is to gather, and often references dragons. - Fire is fiery. Burn all misspellings. - Et cetera does not abbreviate to ect., ecc., or et. etc. - e.g. means for example, and i.e. means that is. i.e., always be correct. - You should definitely spell definitely definitely. - If you had a D, you wouldn't deserve congratulations. - A lot is two words. Allot means to distribute. When you've memorized all these, Paul Brians has an absurdly long list of other common errors. He also has lists of common non-errors, commonly misspelled words, and other interesting things. |Wednesday, February 25th, 2009| |The plumber, in the laundry room, with the pipe wrench I'm doing some home improvement work in my laundry room. This required removing both my washing machine and drier. I just put them back and started a load of laundry. Now, the rest of this may not make sense to some of you until I explain that you do things differently on your side of the pond. I realize that your washing machine only has one water input, and an internal heater that heats the water to the correct temperature, but that's not the way we do things here. On this side of the pond, washing machines have two water inputs. A red one for hot water and a blue one for cold. Also, laundry rooms have two water faucets. A red one that supplies hot water and a blue one that supplies cold water. (If anything in that last sentence surprised you, please don't tell me. I do NOT want to know. My brane hurts enough already.) There are also two water supply hoses. Although often identical, my set has a visual (but not functional) difference: one has blue bands on the ends and the other has red bands on the ends. OK, so now you know what is supposed to happen.( Read more...Collapse ) |Wednesday, October 24th, 2007| |On installing XP I've got this 5-year-old hunk-a-junk piece of hardware that I finally got around fixing up into a vaguely useful computer. Mostly, by purchasing more memory and a larger disk drive for my real computer, and moving the old hardware to the old computer, which had neither. Then, because I'm donating it to a place that "needs" Windows, I went to install Windows XP on the thing. This is where the story gets a little interesting. I figured I'd install XP, the wireless drivers, then Firefox and AVG Free while running Windows Update. The first two went as planned. Mostly. However, the XP CD had apparently only one video driver. 640x480x16. That's 16 colors, not 16 bits. It also had no drivers for the built-in ethernet port, and had difficulty realizing that the drivers for the wireless card actually went with the wireless card that had just been installed. So, I had: A 640x480x16 display No ethernet port No wireless card I did not check for the presence or absence of a modem. (But driver updates downloaded from Windows Update lead me to believe that it was not present either.) Once I convinced Windows to actually use the wireless drivers I had installed, I decided that Windows Update was a slightly higher priority operation than I had thought. 83 (yes eight-three) high-priority updates, one hardware update for the video card, about two hours, and no reboot, later, I now have a sensible 1280x1024x32-bit display, and am happily installing Firefox and AVG. I still have no ethernet or audio though. I will, surprise, surprise, need a reboot to activate at least one of those high-priority updates. Post-reboot, I still seem to have no audio or ethernet drivers. This is a bit of an issue, especially the no-audio part. |Tuesday, October 9th, 2007| |On Saki IM I recently, for not particularly good reasons, decided to install the Facebook IM app, which is powered by Saki. Not too long after that, I discovered that (1) There was apparently no Ga^H^HPidgin plugin for Saki, and (2) there is a standalone IM app. Since I'm pretty strict about not using Firefox as an IM client, I grudgingly downloaded and installed the IM app. This went fine, although I had to click several times on "Thanks, but I've already registered", both before downloading and after completing the install. Yeah. About that. The "completing the install" bit. It asked for my login, which I provided, and then it asked (I'm paraphrasing here) "Do you want to install the Saki IM client for your PC?" Do I want to *what*? Didn't I just do that? OK, fine. Go ahead. At which point it downloads and runs yet another .msi file. The install completes. Maybe. Now it wants permission to download and install Adobe Flash Player. ... Um ... Noooo. It's already installed, thank you. Which it evidently was, since nothing broke when I clicked no. Then it asks for the login info. Again. Which I provide. Again. Now it starts asking me more questions: "Do you want to install and run 'owl'?" "Do you want to install and run 'friends'?" "Do you want to install and run 'weather'?" "Do you want...?" Every time I click on anything at all, I have to specify whether I want to install and run it, or just run it. And, of course, after I select one of those, I have to compile whatever it is I just downloaded before I can use it. You might say I am somewhat less than impressed. You might also say that Antarctica has been known to be slightly chilly in winter. One of these days I'll remember what that program is called. But for something like three years, I think, I knew it as Gaim. "For the right job, use the right tool." The right tool for IM is Pidgin. Using IE, of course, because everyone always uses IE! I don't, just in case that wasn't obvious, and forcing it down my throat is an excellent way to make me ... unhappy. To put it mildly. I'm not quite sure why IE is still allowed to speak to the Internet, period. This is an IM client, mind you. An IM client where you can only talk to your friends. Of course, if it's not the right job, you can use anything you want. No one ever mentions that little detail, though. Current Mood: annoyed |Sunday, September 30th, 2007| I've been trying to catch up in ASR recently, and some bright spark links to these wonderful pictures . Not that I think Zimmlock particularly needs any more ideas, but they just look like something he'd draw, just for the fun of it. 300+ day retentions are either wonderful or the bane of my existence. I haven't decided which. Non-TT-F folks: A very talented artist who usually draws buildings. |Thursday, June 7th, 2007| |On visiting Europe (Portions of this only apply to those of you who are (un)fortunate (take your pick) enough to live in the USA.)

(Yes, there's a reason some of you are having déjà-vu.) Winter has broken, finally. I'm not sure if spring has sprung; there are still patches of snow, but it's 55°F (13°C) out. I'd forgotten how much pure, unadulterated *JOY* there was in biking without having to be bundled up like the Michelin man. Never mind that I've probably already spent an hour on my bike today; I don't have to be in bed until 22:20 at the earliest, so I think I'll be getting a little bit more exercise tonight. Just as soon as I re-attach my water bottle holders. Besides, exercise makes shifting my bedtime earlier by almost three hours much less of a challenge. 05:20 is not my idea of a decent time to be leaving for anywhere. It's not a decent time to be doing anything except sleeping, in fact, but I don't get much choice in the matter. Not when coordinating spring break schedules with about fifty people. Louisiana. I'll be back in just over a week. Current Mood: chipper |Wednesday, September 27th, 2006| Yesterday, a few of us were hanging out, and I managed to display my copious (read: "non-existent") knowledge of alcoholic beverages. In an attempt to educate me, one of the other fellows there informs me "Let me know when you turn 21, and I'll take you out and get you a shot of Everclear." This is not a surprising sentence to hear around here (What can I say? It's a college campus.), except for one minor detail. It's not usually said to people who turned turned 21 just over fifteen months ago. |Thursday, August 24th, 2006| How many times have I been told that I'm going to hurt myself the way I play Ultimate Frisbee? Personally, I haven't the slightest, but after something in the vicinity of two and a half years, I have finally succeeded. On Sunday, I landed hard, and wrong, on my left hand, and sprained both my thumb knuckles. Not that I let that stop me from playing today; before playing, I finally went out, got a splint (finding one long enough to protect my entire thumb was interesting), and first-aid tape to apply the splint. When I'm wearing my biking gloves (which I do when playing Ultimate), the splint does its job quite well (tape to immobilize the top knuckle, and the glove holds the splint in place to immobilize the other two joints), but I'm still trying to figure out if it's possible to immobilize both knuckles with just tape; the proximal phalanx is entirely too well surrounded by flesh (mostly muscle) to get a good tape job. Fortunately, I don't need to immobilize the joint at the base of the thumb (right next to the wrist) too, or there'd be no solution other than the gloves; tape around the palm is a non-option, due to the shape of the splint. And the fact that it's notoriously impossible to apply tape to a palm. |Sunday, July 23rd, 2006| |On my craziest moment this summer. Yesterday, I was in a group that was sharing our craziest moments this summer. Not to imply that my summer was anything that vaguely resembles sane , but that was a pretty easy one for me. The moment in question is closely related to that image over -------> there. For part of the summer, we drove the van on the right. Then, in Savannah, Georgia, we saw the van on the left, and noticed it was for sale. Now, there are three of us, of which exactly one drives a stick-shift, and the new-to-us one was ... you guessed it. A stick-shift. Does that stop my cousin from purchasing it? No. Of course not. Does this mean that either of the other two learn how to drive a stick-shift. No. Of course not. All this means is that Dale gets to drive a 1993 Volkswagen van (overweight and underpowered, here we come) from Savannah to West Lafayette, by way of Elkton, Maryland, which is, if anything, further from West Lafayette than Savannah is. |Tuesday, June 13th, 2006| This is somewhat old news now, but it appears I got elected the most helpful member of the TT-forums. It also appears that I'm tied for third place in the "Least Helpful" category. Since I'm quite sure that there are more than four members on the TT-Forums, I suspect that something somewhere might be slightly broken. |Tuesday, May 30th, 2006| |On Laptops Again In all fairness, I should admit that 1) I like the two-dimensional scrolling that is possible on a Apple lappy's touchpad, and 2) Macintosh interfaces are designed not to require right-clicking, but I still claim that PS/2 is an important port. Or maybe I should say that: My PS/2 KVM, my other PS/2 KVM, my PS/2 keyboard, my PS/2 mouse, my DOS install disks, my Win 3.11 install disks, and the friend across the hall a few years ago who had to borrow my PS/2 keyboard because Windows XP would freeze before it got into a state where it would recognize his USB keyboard, all say that PS/2 is an important port. I also insist that a proper num-pad is a must-have, and the only laptop I've ever seen with a proper num-pad is one with a seventeen-inch screen. (Yes, that's "seventeen". I spelled it out for a reason. It's a 16:9 widescreen.) One is a two-port KVM, the other is a four-port KVM, purchased not long after I acquired computer #3 |Sunday, May 28th, 2006| |On Macintosh laptops I officially hate them. 1) I hate laptops, due to the lack of a full-size, standard configuration 104-key keyboard, and due to the presence of an [Fn] key with no standard location or behaviour. 2) I hate laptops, due to these <sarcasm>wonderful inventions</sarcasm> known as touchpads. Especially when they're not configured for tap-clicking. 3) I hate laptops, due to the lack of PS/2 ports into which I can plug my perfectly good PS/2 mouse and keyboard. (Four USB ports, a firewire port, a modem port, an ethernet port, an S-video port, and a 15-pin SVGA port? Sure. Why not? But even one PS/2 port? Horrors, no! Who could ever *possibly* want that!?) 4) I hate Macintoshes, due to the fact that [Ctrl] doesn't do what I expect it to do, and there is (AFAICT) no way to correct this. 5) I hate Macintoshes, due to the requirement that I use two hands to right-click. (Oh, sure. Let's connect my perfectly good wheel-mouse. Oops. Never mind. There's no way for me to connect this PS/2 plug. (See #3 There I was, attempting to type a coherent blog post on a Powerbook. And I want to press <Shift-Home>. But no. There's no [Home] key. [Home] is <Cmd-LeftArrow>. So I type <Beanie-Shift-LeftArrow>, and all is fine and good. Until I want to press <Ctrl-Shift-LeftArrow>. Guess where the [Ctrl] key isn't. And guess what's there instead. If you guessed "the lower left corner of the keyboard" and "the much-loathed [Fn] key", you'd be correct. Now guess what <Fn-LeftArrow> does. This time, try "go to the beginning of the document". Note, that is not "the beginning of the text box". If I'd meant that, I would have said that. This is "the beginning of the document. Ignore the fact that I was typing in a text box that is now hiding off-screen." OK, I think I'm done fuming, at least for a little while. I'm sure there are other ports there too; I think there's a parallel port, for example. (OK, so this isn't the Powerbook. But seriously. *FOUR* USB ports on a laptop?) |Wednesday, April 26th, 2006| A little over a month ago I blogged about being drafted into tech-support making "it" work. "It" now has a name: "Scan The Van", and a website Several hours of today were spent working on turning said van into something more closely resembling a mobile scanning operation. Westfalias are excellent vehicles for this procedure, since they have *two* 12V batteries, a built-in fridge, and a camper mode that sleeps three to five, depending on how friendly you feel like being. There are still some issues, though. Our record for today is: Problem: The auxiliary battery is a crank battery. Resolution: Replaced old auxiliary battery with a 100 Ah deep-cycle battery. Problem: There were no 120V outlets in the Westie. Resolution: Installed two 120V outlets in the Westie, powered by a "700 watt" (560 watt continuous, 700 watt for five minutes, 1000 watt peak) inverter. Problem: The left-front turn signal is burnt out. Resolution: Cannot reproduce problem in driveway. Problem: The clamp for the positive terminal of the aux battery is broken (albeit functional). Reason: Existing problem that we were not aware of until we replaced the battery. Proposed resolution: Visit $LOCAL_CAR_STORE, purchase new battery clamps. Problem: Dale's back does not like him. Reason: 100 Ah car batteries weigh around 80 pounds (35 kg). Proposed resolution: Do not carry 100 Ah car batteries up a flight of stairs unnecessarily. Problem: It is no longer possible to power the fridge from the aux battery. Reason: Fridge socket is no longer connected to aux battery. Proposed resolution: Reconnect fridge socket to aux battery. So I think that's three problems fixed and three new ones. Hmm... Maybe today wasn't as productive as I thought. One battery for starting the engine and running the essential electronics, and one for running the fridge and florescent lights. And a 120 amp alternator to recharge the batteries. Meaning we could use it run the computer equipment, but only for extremely short periods of time, unless we wanted to either run the engine or kill the battery. I think need to up the dosage on the cynicism supplements. I saw "700 Watt" and automatically assumed that meant 700 watt continuous, which should be more than enough. I'm not so sure about the 560 watt rating. No, I do not have the manual in front of me. No, I have not seen the manual since I first set the thing up about eight hours ago. Yes, I read the manual, but only once. |Wednesday, April 19th, 2006| |On Schuster's Conundrum Someone (probably from ASR) mentioned Schuster's Conundrum in my presence. I scratched my head a bit, and then googled. And came up with this Stereoscopic images on a computer screen. I think "Ow" is the appropriate word of the day here. Especially since some of the images there require cross-eyed viewing. On the images where it is possible, I strongly recommend parallel-eye viewing, if you know how to do it. |Friday, April 7th, 2006| Spring has officially sprung; I was out playing Ultimate Frisbee last night. Two games, both three on three, which is about the smallest sane game. On a nice field of alternate wet grass and mud. I've blogged previously about what happens when you combine Dale, Ultimate, and a wet, muddy field, so I won't repeat too much of that. I think only one person ended up on the ground yesterday, but he^H^HI definitely more than made up for everyone else's dislike of the ground. My most impressive fall was when I'm charging along after the Frisbee and my right foot decided it needed to come forward somewhere to the left of my left foot. Anyone who has tried this knows that this usually results in the right foot getting caught behind the left ankle, and this time was no different. Now ask me what parts of me hurt. Go ahead. Ask. The tip of my left middle finger. From a lousy catch while we were tossing the Frisbee before the game. Tripping over my own two feet while charging along at full tilt? No injury except to my pride. An hour and a half of chasing a flying disk and the only injury I get is in the first fifteen minutes, when we aren't even playing. Please don't ask how I manage that. |Thursday, March 23rd, 2006| |On being tech-support Somehow, ([de|il]lusions of competency, maybe) I often manage to get drafted into doing this whole tech-support thing. Usually, I know what I'm getting into before I agree to the job, but this time, I'm not so sure that's the case. My job will be to make "it" work. "it" involves four computers, several scanners, several cell-phones, a power inverter (maybe two), and several pieces of hardware I have probably never seen before. "it" will be installed in a Volkswagen Westfalia (not that one, though), and will be used for digital conversion and/or archiving of just about any analog data: Home videos, photographs, negatives, slides, important documents, &c. One of my cousins is heading up this project. If you (or any of your relatives) are interested, and live in North America, it would be appreciated if you/they would fill out this survey , so she (and I) have some idea what exactly we are going to be doing. There will be another survey coming soon, and I'll post it as soon as I hear about it. If you do not live in .us, feel free to contact me by any reliable method, and I'll forward your location on to my cousin, but don't get your hopes up too high. Hawaii is also rather unlikely. (Disclaimer: that survey should not be considered an order form, but more of a "What services would you use if we came to your area?") As some of you are aware, I was in Southern Mississippi for my spring break, hanging drywall. I went down with nine other people, and met up with about ninety more when we got to the church where we were staying. As I said, there were ten of us: the director of Wesley Foundation and his wife, three students, the mother of one of the students, three random men who attached to our group because "The Indiana group" (more on that later) was full, and myself. We met at Wesley about 6:00 (GMT -5) Saturday morning, ate breakfast, packed, and hit the road. We arrived at our destination at about 22:15 (GMT -6), and discovered that we were not the only group from Indiana. We were not even the only group from West Lafayette. There were four groups that stayed basically the whole week: One group from Virginia, one from Indianapolis (in .in.us) and two from West Lafayette (also .in.us). These were, respectively: "the Virginia group", "the Indiana group", "the West Lafayette group" and "the other West Lafayette group". Which WL group was "other" depended on which group was yours. There were also several groups that came and/or went partway though the week. In total, there were around a hundred people showering, eating, and sleeping in this not-particularly-large church each night. The majority of the men, including me, slept in the sanctuary. One of the other men said that it was "like sleeping in the middle of a frog pond with all the snoring". I wouldn't say it was that bad, but woe betide you if you need either pitch black or dead silence to fall asleep. Neither happened, ever. I sleep in a room with four computers, (They're not all mine, honestly! Only three of them are.) so this did not present a particular problem for me; in fact, I nearly require white noise in order to fall asleep. Food was provided by a few members of the Indiana group, who basically spent the whole day, every day, cooking, cleaning, shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Sunday, we went out driving along Highway 90 . You should see route 15 there; we started there and went west. If you go far enough west, along 90, you'll find a bridge. The satellite images report that the bridge is intact; it is not. Seven months after Katrina, and there have been no visible efforts to repair or replace the bridge. We didn't actually get to the bridge; but we did see plenty while we were out there. - Buildings that looked fine. As long as you didn't look below 30-40 feet (9-12 m) above sea-level. below about 20 feet above, there was nothing but steel structural members. Everything else had been washed away by the storm surge. - Buildings that looked fine. As long as you only looked at the foundation, and not the building, which didn't exist any more. - Sign posts that were twisted, bent, or otherwise not straight, as they should be. - Spray-painted "You loot, we shoot" signs, and similar messages. I spent most of that drive shell-shocked; looking, but not actually seeing. Monday and Tuesday, the ten of use were hanging drywall at a house that had been flooded up to the ceiling. For those of who haven't done this, it's not particularly easy or fun, and definitely not for those with weak backs. Take rather fragile 4'x8' (1.2m x 2.4m) 60 lb (27 kg) sheet, and hold it on the ceiling. Go get another sheet, and repeat, except this time, make sure it lines up with the previous one. Repeat, until the whole ceiling in covered. Now, do the same procedure in a house where the concepts of right angle and straight line do not exist. Once the ceiling is done, you can continue with the walls; these are easier, except that now you have to cut relatively accurate holes for switches, outlets, water supply pipes, drain pipes, gas pipes, ... Wednesday, the St. Andrews group (aka "the [other] West Lafayette group") and two of our students went to the beach. The rest of us stayed at the house, and finished the drywalling around 15:00. Thursday was spent cleaning yards. We cleaned three yards. The first yard was by far the most interesting (FCVOI). The house was completely gone, and the foundation, although safe, was going to have to be bulldozed. But amidst this destruction, we found a collection of rare coins, a glass tea-cup in apparently perfect condition, and a ceramic plate sitting on the slab, also in perfect condition. Friday we left at "5:30" (again with the "Ain't democracy great" thing, both on the leaving a day early, and on the leaving that absurdly early in the morning) to go back to WL. I put it in quotes, because we didn't actually leave until 6:00 (GMT -6). The trip was uneventful, and we arrived in WL at ~21:00 (GMT -5). Here on this college campus, we live in this nice little bubble wherein a "poor student" is one who can't afford to put gas in their car. The concept of "poor" as in "I don't have a place to live" or as in "I own nothing but the clothes on my back" simply doesn't exist, and every now and again we need a reminder of how blessed we truly are. Here I am with three computers, at least two weeks worth of clothes, at least three pairs of shoes (possibly more, depending on how you count) a roof over my head, a warm bed, .... There are many who would count themselves lucky to have even one of those. |Saturday, February 25th, 2006| |On spending a whole day running around doing nothing. I had a very full day tod^H^H^Hyesterday, but I feel like I did basically nothing. The telephone woke me up about five minutes before my alarm clock was to go off; a friend of mine (I'll call him Ed, because that is his name) needed to go to the emergency room. My usual form of transportation (a bicycle), however, is not suited to taking people to the hospital. I got dressed, got on my bike, went to borrow my grandmother's car, and went to pick up Ed. He also needed to go to the police station to get the accident report, so I took him there, and then to the hospital. I returned the car so my grandmother could run the errand she was planning to run, but instead discovered that she wouldn't be running the errand at all because there was a furnace guy at her house. I got back home and spent a little time fighting with my new Ubuntu Linux install, and got basically nothing done. Ed then called me again and told me that he was free to go home; the swelling he was worried about was normal. So I go get the car again, pick up Ed, bring him home, return the car (At this point, the furnace guy was gone, and the furnace was working again), and come back here. By this time, it's almost 13:00. I have four other errands to run. Aldersgate's monthly deposit needed to happen rather NOW-ish, so it did, and I had a check to deposit too, but to a different bank. I did both of those, came back here, and commenced beating myself up for forgetting to buy shift cables for my bike, as I had just broken one on Wednesday. (I keep spares so I can fix my bike and then bike down to the shop to buy replacement cables.) However, I thought I'd try to figure out why on earth I had SEVEN brake cables. Determining that turned out to be rather difficult, since I had only five brake cables. The other two were shifter cables, so I decided that it was not necessary to purchase more. (I still don't know why I have five brake cables, though.) That leaves one more errand; dealing with a credit-card transaction that failed for reasons of "The merchant (In this case, Amtrak) wrote down the wrong credit-card number." There are three steps to this procedure: Fill out a form, stick it in an envelope, and address, stamp, and send said envelope. To fill out the form, a invoice number is required, and I saw no invoice number, so I had to call Amtrak to clear that up." That finished, I discovered that (1) sticking a letter in an envelope you do not have is rather difficult, and (2) attaching a 39 cent stamp you do not have to the envelope you do not have is also rather difficult. Off to the post office to fix both of those problems, and to mail the letter. Then back (now, ~16:30) for more futzing with Ubuntu. This time, I was successful. Successful in destroying my ability to sudo, that is. Since root has no password by default (not "a blank password"; "no password". As in "There is no password that permits you to log in as root.") and I had not changed that, this presents a problem. It took me a while to convince myself that this was indeed an immovable object, but once I did, I pulled out my irresistible force (the install CD), and tried again. Of course, an install takes somewhat over an hour, and I'm leaving for an overnight retreat in less than an hour. But I figure I'll hopefully get the interactive part done, and then let it finish overnight. We were scheduled to meet for the Mardi Gras retreat at Wesley at 18:00, and then head to Romney UMC. This we did as planned, but only six of us showed up. We decided to continue as planned, but cut it short. (Hence the reason I'm here now, and not there.) I had a good time, though. Besides me, there were five lovely ladies, and we spent about half an hour cooking: salad, pizza, brownies, "Monkey Bread" (another desert), then two to three hours eating. (well, eating and talking. Though I mostly listened.) What's not to like? After this, we cleaned up, and did a guided meditation. At this point, it's nearly 23:00, and the majority wanted to visit one the house of the ladies, to see her wedding and bridesmaids dresses. We stuck around there until 24:00, the agreed upon time to return, and well, that's my day in a nutshell. We did spend some time exploring the church; it's a nice little old church, with all sorts of nooks and crannies. I got in a little time on NFORenum , but not much. Today (Saturday) should be much simpler, and with luck, will involve a release. He was the bicyclist half of of a bike/car accident on Thursday. Looks horrible, and is moving like someone in pain and/or on massive painkillers, but no major injuries. The driver stuck around for the accident report, which is a very good thing. Sure, it's pink. So? It's got four doors, five^Wsix wheels, and all I have to pay for is gas. But only five tires. Think about it; you should figure it out eventually. I requested that it install the "server". I would have guessed that that would involve such serverish things as ftpd and sshd, and basic Linuxy things like ... Oh, maybe gcc? No. On all three counts. Or, if they're installed, I couldn't find them, and they have neither man nor info pages. I'm rather unimpressed. I do basically all my long-distance traveling on Amtrak; it's cheaper and more comfortable than flying, albeit slower. Ain't democracy great? Though actually I didn't mind; we also watched some of the Olympics (ice skating), and they have a quite friendly dog of the type that Dale is not allergic too. |Sunday, February 19th, 2006| |On "That can't be done because ..." "... because it can be done." At least that's what seems to be happening lately when I try to explain why I can't implement something in NFORenum. I tried to explain why a pretty-printer was impossible, and ended up writing one. I tried to explain why a variational-accessibility check couldn't be done. And ended up writing one. I should either quit trying to explain why I can't do something, or try to explain more often; depending on whether it's a feature I want to implement or one I'd prefer not to implement. I guess this is a good thing, and it even makes sense when I think about it, but it's just strange to answer "Why can't you do $FOO?" with "I can." So, should I explain why I can't do class DC00 TextID checks and random 2 bit-usage checks next?

If you are at present looking at ways which you could improve your house then a kitchen rework may very well be the reply to all your issues. Remodeling any room in the home is a giant undertaking to hold out anyway, so there are some individuals who simply determine to go completely out on a limb and structurally change the way in which their kitchen is about up. This does mean that you will in all probability be without your kitchen for a couple of days, but it is positively worth ready. They are saying home is where the center is” and in our opinion, the center of the house is in the kitchen. When you attempt to make price range determinations function by characteristic or appliance by appliance, you can rapidly exhaust your finances. I’d speak with a contractor to see what was doable, and give you a listing of concepts for what you can do in your own kitchen to spice issues up. If you are considering of making this a do it your self mission, take an extended arduous look earlier than diving in. A full kitchen transform requires a tremendous quantity of different types of expertise. One thing you will not see in any of those glossy magazines or on any of those gorgeous web site room simulations is the whole cost of your kitchen transform ideas. I checked out the price of all the pieces and made myself an Excel spreadsheet with what I estimated I would wish so as to do this rework. Thanks for sharing your lovely kitchen with us. I just love all your touches. The not so great half when when the contractor stated it will price about $500 to put in (had to be professionally hung as a result of weight) and retrofit right into a smaller door jam. Quartz counter tops and a glass-tile backsplash made the whole kitchen feel extra luxe than finances. It’s always nice if you undergo a transform and it seems higher than you imagined.

Swiss Chard, Bacon and Poached Egg Recipe from Christina Falco Baldwin of Little Girl, Big Knife - 2 large bunches of Swiss chard, sliced into thin strips - 1/2 onion, sliced - 4 cloves of garlic, chopped - 4 strips of bacon, sliced thin - 1 can of petite diced tomatoes - 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed - 1 cup of chicken broth, use if necessary - ½ cup white vinegar - 8 eggs - Handful of fresh parsley, chopped - Salt, pepper and dash of red pepper flakes - 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar Cook bacon in large skillet and remove with a slotted spoon once cooked and set aside. Remove all but a tablespoon of bacon fat and sauté onions, garlic and red pepper flakes for 5 minutes, then begin to add Swiss chard. Be sure to add sprinkle of salt to each layer of greens. Once they begin to wilt add tomatoes and vinegar, then cover and simmer. If the swiss chard seems to be drying out, add a little chicken broth. While simmering, sauté white beans in small amount of bacon fat or olive oil in a skillet until they brown and begin to soften. Add beans to Swiss chard, cover and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Add bacon and parsley, and then remove from heat. Bring 16 cups water to boil in a 6 quart saucepan over high heat. Add vinegar and 2 teaspoons salt, lower heat to medium, and bring to a simmer. Swirl water with a spoon to create a whirlpool. Crack one egg at a time into a small bowl and carefully slide egg into water; poach until just firm, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels to drain. Divide chard and bean mixture into bowl and top with poached eggs and sprinkle of fresh parsley.

In 1052 BC, the people of Israel told the prophet Samuel they wanted a King. They were disgusted by the corruption of judges that led the government. When Samuel asked God what to do about the people’s demand for a King, God tells Samuel to warn the people of the “war, economic devastation, and loss of civil rights” the people will suffer under the King. The people rejected the repeated warnings and end up with King Saul, the arrogant, handsome son of a rich father. Over the next 40 years Israel was devastated! Reminds me of America today. The Clintons are the poster children of the diseased American political class that trades the virtue of public service into self-serving, multimillion riches packaged in speaking fees, lobbying contracts and half-truths. Indeed, the heart of American government has an infection. But like the ancients Israelites, Americans are being warned today by our military, intelligence and economic leadership against electing a morally depraved, reprobate King with no relevant skills for the job of President. America is not a Trump Casino. Americans deserve better pay than Trump hotel wages. Voting for Clinton will be the most distasteful vote of my life. But at least we won’t have a President that: – thinks murdering your political opposition is good leadership, – who refuses to share his tax returns because he lies about his charity, income and offshore tax avoidance schemes, – whose anti-trade policy could set off inflation and recession that wipes out our savings; – who preaches a gospel of hate that will return America to the riots and civil disturbance of the 1960’s; – who uses grade school bully tactics of interrupting and offending people that expose his insecurity and emptiness of thought; – boasts about a life of greed, sex, and slander that warps a generation of American school children. At least we know who puts money into the Clinton Foundation. Does anyone know who finances Trump Casinos and Hotels? Could his anti-NATO rhetoric be a means of helping business partners and money launderers? It is sad choice we have. But if we elect Hilary Clinton, we can fix the problem in four years. If we elect Trump, like Saul, the damage may take us 40 years to clean up. We won’t cure the heart of America’s political weakness by clowning around with the toxic chemotherapy of a con artist.

Dr. Moon says new strategies must be implemented to help NAFLD patients deal with pain. Opioid use is high in patients suffering from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). According to data released as part of the TARGET-NASH study, approximately 18% of NAFLD patients are using opioids to deal with the pain caused by their condition. However, researchers are hoping that number can ultimately reduce and alternatives are found to help patients handle pain, while reducing the dependency on the addictive medications. With September being Pain Awareness Month, Andrew Moon, MD, MPH, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, explained in an interview with HCPLive® why it is important for doctors to begin to find ways to avoid prescribing opioids for NAFLD patients. Moon explained that there are likely to be situations where short-term opioid use is appropriate, but for patients dealing with long-term or chronic pain it is best to find an alternative. Moon also spoke in favor of a multidisciplinary approach to NAFLD, including engagement from a primary care provider, endocrinologist, psychiatrists, and a physical therapists, which could help address pain using non-pharmacological techniques. TARGET-NASH is an observational study of participants with NAFLD and/or NASH in usual clinical practice and is part of a series of Target studies targeted several diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease and asthma.

Staying warm and safe this winter Safely using space heaters and electric blankets Earlier this year, on a cold January morning, fire officials determined that an electric space heater claimed the lives of 5-year-old and 9-year-old sisters in Grantville, Ga. in a fire that destroyed the family’s home. Despite repeated search and rescue efforts, smoke and flames from the fire prevented the location and rescue of the two young victims. Officials discovered there were no working smoke detectors in the home. Should a fire start in your home, smoke detectors can save lives, but you can also take steps to prevent fires. With winter on its way, many people will be getting out electric blankets and space heaters to help them stay warm. They may provide needed comfort, but they can also be deadly if they are not used with care. Space heaters need space all around them to be able to circulate air safely. Place space heaters on a level surface away from areas where they could be bumped and knocked over and at least three feet away from flammable materials-including drapes, furniture and clothing. Never leave a space heater unattended or running while you sleep. Before using a space heater, inspect the cord for any cracks or worn spots. If any are found, replace the cord or the heater. Avoid using extension cords. If one is necessary, use a heavy duty cord marked with a power rating at least as high as the heater. Take care to avoid overloading circuits. If you are planning to buy a portable space heater, look for one that has been tested and labeled by a nationally recognized testing facility and that has all of the following safety features: • Tip-over switch that automatically shuts off the heater if it falls over. • Protective grill to prevent anyone from touching the heating elements. • Sealed heating elements encased in metal or ceramic. Also inspect your electric blankets before use this year. Replace any electric blanket that is worn or torn, has a frayed electric cord or has a damaged temperature control. Consider replacing electric blankets that are more than 10 years old, since their wiring can be damaged by ordinary wear and tear. Folding, creasing, and sitting or lying on top of an electric blanket can damage the internal coils. Replace any blanket where the embedded heating wires have been displaced or damaged. Check by holding the blanket up to light; the wires should be evenly spaced and should not touch each other anywhere. If you have any doubt about its safety, throw it out. Turn your electric blanket off when not in use. Many older models have no internal temperature control to shut the blanket off when it gets too hot; if your blanket has no such internal control, consider replacing it with a newer model. Also, refrain from using more than one electric blanket (or heating pad) at a time, and do not pile toys, pillows or other materials on top of an electric blanket. Excessive heat may build up to the point where the blanket could ignite. Unplug your blanket if you smell smoke or if any scorching is evident; discoloration of the blanket may indicate that it is burning internally. Pay close attention to and follow manufacturer’s directions as to whether the blanket can be safely machine-washed. Never dry clean an electric blanket. The process may damage the internal coils and the heating insulation, which increases the risk of fire. Never use an electric blanket that is wet, and do not turn an electric blanket on to dry it out. Whether it’s electric blankets, heaters, or wiring, protect your home and family. Check the operation of your home’s smoke detectors. Check detectors every month, and replace the batteries twice a year. Also, develop and practice an escape plan. A good plan is known by all household members and includes an outside meeting location away from danger of the fire. At Safe Electricity we want everyone to take steps to stay safe and comfortable this winter. Learn more at SafeElectricity.org.

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 and Southwest college beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your college football questions in a live chat on Thursday. Here are the highlights. What do you think Johnny Manziel's chances are of winning the Heisman? Carlton: Let's get the Johnny Football talk out of the way with three very good questions. Yes, Texas A&M redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel is a bonafide Heisman candidate, right up there with Collin Klein and Manti Te'o. His performance against Texas A&M put him in the discussion in a big way. He's got a big wow factor. But he probably won't win the Heisman this year. A&M closes with Sam Houston State and Missouri and won't be playing on Championship Saturday. Manziel would need one more big game to capture everybody's attention, like RG3 following up his Oklahoma performance two weeks later against Texas. That's not going to happen ... this year. Do you think Tommy Tuberville deserved more than a public reprimand? I had worse treatment by coaches in junior high! Carlton: The public reprimand of Tommy Tuberville was a bit of an over-reaction. The same goes for the Pac-12 investigating Mike Leach. Everybody in college sports is a little nervous after what's happening recently, especially at Penn State. Nobody wants to be seen as ignoring a problem. Still, the first response should come from the institution. Tuberville wasn't involved with the officials or an opponent. It involved his own coaching staff and doing something stupid in the heat of the moment. (And what team would use the same call "Jayhawk" for both offense and special teams in the same game. Recipe for confusion, anyone?). That said, Tech should have gotten first crack at any discipline. It would have been far worse for Tuberville had he lost to Kansas. It's interesting how we all had the OU West Va. game highlighted on the schedule. What went wrong to keep this from being a marquee matchup? Carlton: Wow. Great question. For one, nobody expected Oklahoma to lose two home games in one season, especially with that 14-game Owen Field streak against ranked teams. Then Kansas State and Notre Dame showed up and imposed their wills. Oklahoma is still a good team, but one with weaknesses and flaws -- despite what happened in Dallas. West Virginia has basically fallen off an Appalachian cliff. It's November and the Mountaineers still aren't bowl eligible after being 5-0 and ranked fifth in the BCS. For one, the struggles prove the Big 12 is far better than Big East. That may not explain all of WVU's problems under Dana Holgorsen.

Heading to Key West for 3 full days and 4 Nights. First time going! What are the best places to go? Also, looking for a great sushi place? Any help? A must try is Garbo's grill for fish or shrimp tacos/ burritos. It's a food cart with a table set up, but the food is delicious. For fish and seafood dishes My two picks are: Pisces and Black Fin Bistro. I've never had sushi there, maybe someone else can help you on that one. For drinks I'd recommend The Porch - it's a wine and craft beer bar right on the corner of Duval/Caroline.It's a proper bar not a ye-haw party bar with drinks in plastic cups.An ideal spot to recharge your batteries after the mayhem of Duval. Food - Nine One Five at 915 Duval. Excellent food and sufficiently far enough away from the tourist mob to enjoy a decent meal. Happy Hour - Alonzo's Oyster Bar. Good drinks and appetizers half-price here and at another nearby restaurant owned by the same people.Recommended. There are some very good threads on here you might want to check out. With the exception of possibly sushi. We liked Origami which was on Virginia and Duvall. Very fresh really good yellow tail. Have a great time. Thanks for the replies! We had a great time! Must say Garbo's fish and shrimp taco's were AMAZING! That place is a must when down there. Also had breakfast at Pepe's food was great! You gotta chat up the boat guy next door while there. Had an early dinner at El Siboney. It had good food. Also went to Kelly's Carribean. The food was mediocre at best. Kermit's key lime pie was good. But hands down the food highlight was Garbo's.

A love-stung Slidell man on Monday netted 40 years in prison for fatally stabbing his 32-year-old neighbor in 2009 after he became more and more upset about his girlfriend leaving him. A St. Tammany Parish jury in July took 30 minutes to find Raymond Deckelman, 38, guilty as charged of manslaughter for killing Kenneth Beeson outside Deckelman's home on May 30, 2009. Manslaughter carries a maximum penalty of 40 years behind bars. Whether Beeson had anything to do with Deckelman's girlfriend leaving him now seems unlikely, but Deckelman - who still has the woman's name tattooed across his neck - may have believed too many rumors, allowing them to mix with liquor and spin around in his head, according to witness and police testimony during the trial. Assistant District Attorney Julie Knight characterized Deckelman as ranting, raving, howling mad. On Monday, state Judge Reginald "Reggie" Badeaux determined Deckelman was a career criminal, subject to stiffer sentencing guidelines under state law. While Badeaux could have handed down between 20 years and a lifetime behind bars, St. Tammany Parish district attorney's office officials made clear that 40 years for Deckelman is virtually his life. Sentences handed down under the habitual offender laws are "flat time," meaning they are without parole, probation or suspension of sentence. The St. Tammany Parish district attorney's office pursued the charge of manslaughter because authorities said the killing was committed during the heat of an argument and was not premeditated. Deckelman confessed to killing Beeson but said he stabbed him out of fear for his safety. During the trial, he maintained it was self-defense, saying Beeson grabbed ahold of him and that he was scared for his life. The Saturday of the killing, Beeson's apartment complex had a large pool party, with crawfish, barbecue and lots of liquor. According to witness testimony, Deckelman had been yelling at the partygoers throughout the day. About 9:15 p.m., Deckelman finally screamed something that got under Beeson's skin, witnesses said. Beeson walked over to Deckelman's yard, and the two argued for about five minutes before Deckelman stabbed him hard in the chest with a long knife and then fled, according witness and coroner testimony. Deckelman hid in the woods, swam through a canal to throw police dogs off his trail, and ended up at the home of his parents, who eventually persuaded him to turn himself in, Deckelman said. He has a criminal history that goes back at least 14 years, according to records from the St. Tammany clerk of court. Since 1995, Deckelman has pleaded guilty to multiple drug possession charges, several simple assault charges, threatening a public official, possession of stolen property, bank fraud, simple battery and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, according to the records.

Today, November 22, marks the 45th anniversary of the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. That the tragedy in Dallas’ Dealey Plaza would go on to inspire an entire subcategory of film is perhaps not much of a surprise — especially when you consider the quantity of footage and stills that survive from photographers and witnesses who followed the motorcade, not to mention the most famous of them all, Abraham Zapruder’s 8mm home video. Although countless TV specials and documentaries have explored the events leading up to that world-altering moment — and plenty of movies hinge on other political conspiracies (Vantage Point, The Parallax View ) — only four feature films have incorporated the actual incident into their storyline. Each of these movies unfolds the mystery from a different angle, and each brings something different to how we think about a crime that still shakes us. JFK (1991): Oliver Stone’s depiction is probably the best known of the bunch. Told from the point of view of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner), JFK focuses on his investigation into perceived inaccuracies in the Warren Report — and the ensuing prosecution of businessman Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones). The movie raised a ruckus — even while it was still filming — and led to 1992’s Assassination Records Collection Act, which compiled evidence related to the assassination for public examination. (1973): Here the story is told from the conspirators’ point of view, including Burt Lancaster as a black ops specialist. This time, it’s a cabal of industrial, political and intelligence leaders behind the assassination. The first movie to present an alternative to the Warren Report, it reopened the debate as to exactly what happened on the grassy knoll — and fed the public’s fascination with it. (1992): Starring Danny Aiello, Ruby focuses on Jack Ruby, the man who shot Kennedy assassin Lee Harvy Oswald. More fiction than fact, this movie depicts Ruby as a man who was motivated to act in order to expose a Mob and CIA conspiracy. In the Line of Fire (1993): While not precisely about the assassination, Clint Eastwood’s Secret Service agent character, Frank Horrigan, is introduced as the only still-active member of the security detail on duty in Dallas that fateful day. His residual feelings of helplessness are in part what drives him to stop another would-be assassin (John Malkovich). You can decide for yourself what’s fact and what’s fiction — or share your own theories below.Read More

However, in London he was exposed as a fraud by Professor Ray Lankester and sentenced to several months in prison. However, upon appeals the case was dismissed and Dr. Slade returned to America. He fought exposure his whole life from scientific investigators and magicians, but it wasn't until he was robbed and beaten one night in NY that his career came to a halt. He ended up partially paralyzed and struggled to continue his sittings. He was penniless and ended up in a Sanitorium in Detroit.

Ad-tech company Criteo just acquired French startup Tedemis for $29 million (€21 million). Originally from France, Criteo went public on the NASDAQ late last year. The company made around $250 million on the day of the IPO. As a reminder, Criteo is a leading advertising retargeting company. For example, if you search for a particular product on an ecommerce website, you will get ads about this product around the web. This is all Criteo’s work. After multiple pivots, Tedemis is now specialized in email marketing. The company uses the same retargeting methods for emails. It’s a good fit for Criteo as it will allow the company to easily expand its offering. Tedemis raised $2.6 million from Banexi Ventures Partners ($1.9 million) as well as $960,000 (€700,000) from Oséo, which is now part of Bpifrance. JDN first mentioned that the two companies were in acquisition talks in November. With one foot in the U.S. and another still in France, many wondered whether Criteo would start contributing to the French ecosystem. In particular in France, one of the reasons why it’s so hard to raise Series B, C and more is because the exit market is very small. There aren’t a lot of big tech companies in France that like to acquire or acqui-hire startups. They’d rather hire and create new internal projects. In France, many big startups have to look for an international buyer instead. For example, Rakuten acquired PriceMinister for $274 million in 2010 (€200 million). Or more recently, Dailymotion was ready to sell to Yahoo for around $200 million before the French government got involved. But Criteo is now big enough to make acquisitions when it makes sense. As the R&D team is still based in Paris, French ad-tech acquisitions look like a good fit. It’s a positive sign for the French ecosystem. It could boost the Series B market, which could lead to more successes à la Criteo. And more successes would mean a bigger exit market — it’s a virtuous circle.

You can refinance your mortgage without going through a lot of difficult begging or bureaucratic red tape. They let you reduce your mortgage rates and skip a month's payment without a third-party appraisal. In order to qualify for this, you need to a) not have any late payments on your current loan, b) have a decent credit score and c) wait a minimum of six months between streamlining processes. Refinancing doesn't always reduce your rates - it just lowers them to the current rates. Always make sure you're getting a good deal before deciding to streamline or refinance. Depending on your financial position, there are many different types of mortgage assistance program available to you. There are two classes of program: government-sponsored and lender-sponsored. Government-sponsored home mortgage assistance tends to be broader in scope and easier to acquire, but less tailored to your individual needs. Remember that the point of government assistance is to free up cash for you to spend elsewhere. Lender-sponsored assistance, meanwhile, is designed to float you through rough patches so you can eventually pay them back. These loans, grants, modifications and agreements are tailored to make sure that the lending company doesn't lose money on you. When you apply for a mortgage loan in the US, you will typically deal with an underwriter. Most underwriters work for banks, but you can also choose to work with a brokerage. Mortgage brokers don't provide loans directly, but have relationships with a number of lenders. Regardless of the type of underwriter you work with, you will typically be required to: Following the financial crash of 2008 and the subsequent collapse of the housing bubble, many (but not all) real estate markets eventually recovered. Entered into in a prudent way, home ownership remains something you should consider in your long-term financial planning. Understanding how mortgages and their interest rates work is the best way to ensure that you're building that asset in the most financially beneficial way. If you plan on staying put until the mortgage is paid off, a fixed-rate loan will give you stability. The interest rate is a little higher than an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM). But it won’t go up like an ARM can. The only things that will change your house payment over time are property taxes and insurance rates, but those will change regardless of which type of loan you get. Foreclosure mediation programs have been created by cities, counties, and state governments. A number of local court systems have also created mediation programs that will ensure lenders, banks and homeowners meet with an attorney or professional mediator to explore all solutions to a foreclosure.

Hope You Got Something Out of It I just wanted to take a quick second and thank you for participating in the first ever World of Weather "Theme Month". Overall, it was a great success and I hope you were able to gain a little insight on the science behind some of these folklores. That being said, in the future I am planning on dedicating a month to weather mysteries (contrails, ball lightning, Northern Lights...you name it). In fact, if you already have some suggestions, feel free to comment on the story. Now then, where were we... In the video portion of this week's World of Weather I mentioned the importance of water when referring to nighttime temperatures. Without it in the atmosphere, temperatures tend to fall like a skydiving elephant. When forecasting the weather, water takes on so many different properties that it's location, amount and physical state is often the crutch of every forecast. Not only will it make or break a 7 day outlook, but at the very basic level, we need it to live. So the next time we add a little Cherry Cool-Aid to our dihydrogen oxide (H20) friend, think about some of these interesting characteristics that make up a small drop of "Adam's Ale": -Obviously we've observed it in all three physical states (Snow, Rain and Fog), BUT, water is the only natural substance that can actually do this at "normal" earth temperatures. Every other natural substance needs an extreme temperature to meet the three physical states. -Speaking of physical states, ice is less dense than water and thus floats. Sure that doesn't sound like much, but without this unusual property, lakes would freeze from the bottom up. This would complicate things significantly for our friends with gills -Sound can move through water at nearly 3,500 miles per hour. For comprehension sake, an Irishman snorkeling off his coast in search of a four leaf clover would hear a loud noise produced underwater at Cape Hatteras in less than an hour (Cape Hatteras to Ireland is ~3370 miles). A dehydrated sky, despite strong lift in the atmosphere, won't produce rain/snow/sleet.

My primary requirement for a tool is that it stay out of my way. Ok, so maybe that is requirement number two, right after the requirement of the tool fulfilling its purpose. But honestly, if a tool can perform its required function then the next most important characteristic for me is that it be as non-obtrusive as possible. This applies to simple tools like screwdrivers and hammers as well as more complex tools such as computers and their software. When I pick up a hammer I expect it to be able to drive a nail into a board. I do not need it to have a compass to guide the way or a light to illuminate the path. Such things would only add needless complexity to the device and would thus get in my way. It is the simplicity of the device that makes it both useful and appropriate. The same goes for a screwdriver. Multiple attachments, lights in the body, and fancy sheathing may sound attractive at first, but when I am trying to get a job done those added complexities could actually make the job more difficult. The beauty of simplicity is that it represents just enough. Just enough to accomplish the work – not too little so that you require more time or tools, and not too much so that extra effort is expended. This simplicity is also how I choose software. I am an Apple fan; there is no doubt about that. But I am an Apple fan for a reason. I will not deny, not in the least, that Windows and Linux may be immensely more configurable than Mac OSX. But that configurability adds a level of complexity that I find in no way necessary. That configurability actually gets in my way. I feel the same way about the Android mobile operating system versus IOS. I like to play with Android sometimes. There are so many possibilities, so many options, and so many ways to do things. But the devices I choose on a daily basis and that I use to get work done are IOS devices. I choose them because they are more simplistic in that elegant sense. That streamlined manner that lets me accomplish my work without addition effort, configuration, or interference. The devices are, after all, just tools. They are not my hobby. They are not my source of joy and fulfillment in the world. They are not something I choose to spend my time with instead of my family, my friends, or even a good book. My phone, my tablet, and my computer are just tools. I will head off one derisive argument that maybe I am just not personally well equipped to deal with the complexities of Android or Linux or even Windows. My rebuttal to that would be a reminding that I make my living with all of these. I maintain complex Linux and Windows systems for a living. I am certified on multiple platforms from multiple vendors. I have the ability to make all of these systems do exactly what I want. And I choose to use Apple products as my central tools because they get out of my way and let me get work done. I can concentrate on my job, my work, and my tasks without have to worry about the tool. There are some instances where complex tools are necessary. As much as we may hate it, a certain amount of training is needed to use any word processor or spreadsheet. If I were going to measure or calibrate nuclear equipment, I would assume the instrumentation is not self-evident. And today’s highly computerized cars need highly computerized diagnostic tools to maintain them. But then again, that is one of the reasons I prefer my older cars. If my car malfunctions and I have to pull over to the side of the road, when I open the hood I can actually diagnose problems with my five senses. Try diagnosing anything on a more modern sealed system car without hundred or even thousands of dollars in highly specialized diagnostic tools. And trust me, car dealerships and their attached repair shops prefer things that way. They don’t want you fixing your own car. So this is my plea for simplicity. That can mean different things to different people. The Apple iPhone is simple to me, but there are people who still prefer the simplicity of the old feature phones. And there may even be those who find the iPhone hard to comprehend but find Android intuitive. And, of course, if you are someone who never intends on lifting the hood of your car then a sealed system is far simpler for you than my 50 year old, non-computerized British rarity. Just as beauty can be said to be in the eye of the beholder, so can simplicity, elegance, and suitability to task. That is why we have choice, why we have options, and why there can be competition. Competition even between makers of hammers and screwdrivers.

Doctor Who fans will have a new place to catch Freema Agyeman on American television: the former Dr. Martha Jones, companion to David Tennant‘s Time Lord back in Season 3, has nabbed a role on The Carrie Diaries, premiering tonight (January 14) on the CW. And yes, Carrie Diaries references Carrie Bradshaw, a.k.a. the curly-maned fashionista played by Sarah Jessica Parker on Sex and the City. This new dramedy is a prequel to that Emmy-winning HBO series, with AnnaSophia Robb playing the young Ms. Bradshaw as a wide-eyed intern in 1984 Manhattan. Agyeman plays Larissa, Carrie’s mentor and style editor at Interview magazine, and, as you can see, her brash duds reflect the electric color palette of the synth-pop era. And yes, she maintains her beautiful British accent. Watch a clip below: Will you be watching The Carrie Diaries for Freema Agyeman? Tell us below:Read More

The trailhead is located on Rt 56 on the way to Crabtree Falls (another great spectacle in the winter, especially if it is frozen. So you may want to return to this area again!) There is a parking lot. If you go in hunting season, be sure to wear blaze orange. I counted many hunters and hound dogs on the trail in mid December, carrying rifles. Enter the AT across the road and walk across the swaying suspension bridge over the Tye River. I elected to do this trail by way of ascending to Maupin Shelter (three miles) via the Mau-har trail, then return on the AT along the Three Ridges. Though steep up and downs, and thick leaves, this way allowed me to view the waterfalls on the way up. I recommend you take hiking poles. There are several small campsites near the stream. The trail dead ends right at the Maupin Shelter with plenty of campsites if you want to overnight here. Take a right on the Appalachian Trail to begin your journey over the Three Ridges. Don't rush this part. There are nice views, but lots of downhills too that can test your knees. |Maupin Shelter area has a bear pole to store your food| You get a great view looking back at The Priest and several overlooks to rest before your return trip into the valley. There is also one final shelter area - Harper's Creek - with more camping, approx 2.5 mile from the road.

Looking for that perfect container can be a little tricky because you want it to work for what ever you are going to be using it for. Sometimes we get these storage containers that are great and other times they are not what you were hoping they would be nor do they work for what you intending it for. Well I went to Michaels and got a great deal on containers! They were 70% off at the time and so I got some of the containers that I really wanted. There are other places like The Dollar Store, The Container Store, Target, and even Wall-Mart. So there is a short list of where you can go to get a good bargain! Here is a video showing you what I just happen to get at Michaels. Enjoy! Hello everyone! I am back! Just getting back in the swing of things and trying to be organized. Speaking of organized, I am embarking on a small series called Scraproom Organization. This is where I am reorganizing some of my scrap goodies and making it work for me. I decided to film it and take you along with me, so I hope you enjoy the videos, which there will be one a week going up on Sundays. The reason why I am doing this is because to us scrapbookers, our scraprooms are where we do a lot of creating, memory keeping, and for some film our process videos. I wanted my space to be more accessible for when I am creating and also organized. While I was in school it became such a huge mess, which is not like me to do and I was not wanting to create in it. So join me on this journey and I hope we can inspire each other and add some ideas or how you keep your scrap goodies organized. See intro video below!

A funny story here last night..a young woman was talking about how she likes to make costumes and her story of her successfull attempts suddenly brought secretiveness to the room between her and one guy. They didn't want to talk any further with their friends there. After we were alone, away from their friends I found out that I guess he has sort of a Zombie phobia and she knew this,she dressed up in a bunch of mens and womens clothing, put a beard on herself and went limping down a semi-lit alley and scared the crap out of him as she alternated between appearing and then vanishing in the shadows. They wanted to keep this secret because they might have something along these same lines instore for those friends! I tried to tell her that free-lance scaring outside of October or a haunt venue can sometimes lead to problems..but ...oh well? (That's why I quit doing that.) Another funny aspect to their story in my opinion, he is a big guy, she is very petite, but she still scared him! Maybe all the clothes made her look bigger? Sure.

Walking with history: Blackduck man recalls playing in JFK’s funeral procession BLACKDUCK — Fifty years ago today, Larry Zea was 26 and living in Washington, D.C. Zea supplemented his Navy musician’s salary by selling band instruments for the Kitt Music Co. to Washington area schools, and on Nov. 22, 1963, he was driving back from a sales call when he heard over the radio that President John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas. Thousands of other Americans also remember exactly where they were that day, but what makes Zea’s story special is what happened a short time later after he got home from his sales trip. Later that night, Zea received the call informing him that he and his French horn were going to do another large event: President Kennedy’s funeral procession. The band rehearsed and practiced their marching skills for three days in the Navy Yard, said Zea, who now lives with his wife Pat and two dogs on the shores of Pimushe Lake near Blackduck. On Nov. 25, 1963, Zea and the band were positioned near the front, behind French President Charles De Gaulle. Zea recalls being impressed at how the elderly De Gaulle managed to walk so far in the cold. Zea and his bandmates played the Chopin Funeral March. Thousands lined the parade route, and Zea remembers they were all quiet. “Very somber,” he said. “There wasn’t any celebrating.” After the procession reached St. Matthew’s Cathedral, where the funeral was held, Zea and the rest of the Navy Band waited outside for services to end so they could continue playing from the church to Arlington National Cemetery. But band members had been standing and walking for hours, and many needed to use a restroom. Zea said he remembers the kindness of D.C. residents who lived near the cathedral opening their homes to Navy sailors they had never met before so they could take advantage of the facilities. Zea served in the Navy Band for 13 years during the administrations of four presidents, Dwight Eisenhower to Richard Nixon. But being a Navy man himself, Kennedy had the band perform at the White House more than others, and he was Zea’s favorite president to serve under. “Whenever we performed for him at the White House, he made sure we had something good to eat and something good to drink before we went on,” Zea remembered. Zea said he even got to shake hands with Kennedy during one of the Christmas parties the president would hold for White House staff. Not the first funeral Although Kennedy’s burial was difficult for Zea, he said he had a harder time with a different funeral at Arlington three years before. Nineteen fellow Navy band members had been killed in a midair collision coming back from a tour in South America. Zea vividly remembers an encounter during the funeral between one of the widows and then-vice president Nixon. “She kind of lost her cool, and she went up and started beating on his chest, (saying) ‘You killed my husband, you killed my husband,’” he recalled. The Secret Service leapt in to subdue her, but Nixon waved them off. “It went on for a half minute, 45 seconds, and then she left,” he said. “I always put Nixon up for that.” It took three hours after Zea’s wife first heard about the crash until she knew her husband wasn’t on the plane, he said. Younger people today have an over-idealized version of Kennedy, Zea said, and to see Kennedy as flawless is to ignore the complexity of that time. “Everybody just thinks Kennedy was great,” he said. “There was a lot of confusion, a lot of anxiety then just like there is now.”

MyPlate is designed to introduce an easy-to follow food guide icon for figuring out how to eat healthy. The colorful divided plate is a great tool to plan healthy meals. The USDA’s MyPlate method helps people consume a variety of foods. MyPlate recommends half the plate consists of vegetables and fruit, with the other half made up mostly of whole grains and a portion of lean protein. The higher fiber content of these foods will help you stay full longer. Including low fat dairy products as a part of a healthy diet is a good source of calcium. MyPlate defines the five food groups as the basics for a healthy diet. Fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy are the framework for building a healthy daily intake. Different colors provide different benefits, so eat a variety! The targeted message of MyPlate includes: - Balance your calories - Enjoy your food - Avoid oversized portions - Compare sodium on food labels - Choose water instead of sugary drinks Visit the ChooseMyPlate.gov website to learn more about MyPlate, weight management, physical activity and to use the super tracker to plan, analyze your diet and daily physical activity.
