Headlight technology in the ’60s is nothing compared to what’s available today. Just like other automotive components such as tires, suspension, engines, transmissions and safety equipment, headlights have come leaps and bounds since the classic Ford cars we love were sold in the ’60s. Speaking of safety equipment, headlights are among the most critical pieces of safety gear on any car. So, upgrading them is not only cool in terms of appearance and driving enjoyment, they’re the one thing that really needs to be on the money for nighttime driving. And the lights on older cars are almost always lacking when it comes time to try avoiding an accident. Given that, we thought it would be a good idea touch on the subject of better headlights. But there’s more to it than just installing new headlights on an early car with electrical wiring that’s not designed to handle the power that modern halogen and Xenon headlights draw. And wiring is what this how-to mainly focuses on since actually swapping a headlight isn’t really a whole lot much more work than changing a household light bulb. At one point we were wondering what sort of path to take on this subject until we came across a custom lighting kit that fits vintage Mustangs and other Ford cars such as a Falcon. Offered by Reenmachine, the package consists of a pair of Hella high-performance halogen H4 headlights and a modern high-output, relay-driven wiring harness. The key to the whole system is the harness that essentially bypasses the car’s existing headlight wiring and employs the new wiring for a safe and effective upgrade of the whole arrangement. It’s a setup that looked really good and we’ve covered the installation here on a ’66 Mustang. These days, seriously bright headlights are available for any car. The trouble with classic Fords is that the wiring in these older cars isn’t really designed to handle these high-wattage lights. Another problem is when using these high-output lights, the circuit breaker in the headlight switch will not handle the current. The cure for this problem is installing two relays, which are included in the wiring harness that comes with the Reenmachine package. The flat-faced Hella lights also look good as installed here in a ’66 Mustang. The Reenmachine custom lighting system is pretty much a “plug-and-play” setup that can be installed in about an hour. It fits all Fords with two headlights. The included wiring harness is simply plugged into the car’s existing headlight harness via one of the old headlight plugs. From there, the harness is routed, connected to power and ground and the headlights are installed. Various “legs” of the harness are extra long to accommodate various mounting locations and routing. If there’s excessive leftover harness length, slack can be cut out and the wires can be securely respliced together (being careful to match the colors) or it can just be coiled up, zip-tied together and tucked out of sight. There’s plenty of room in the cavity behind the headlight buckets to hide the wires. Reenmachine also pre-installs the H4 halogen bulbs in the Hella headlight housings prior to shipping the systems out. The lights themselves install just like changing a regular headlight. Begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable, then on ’65-’66 Mustangs, remove the headlight door. It’s held in place with four screws. Remove them and the door comes off to access the headlight retainer. Loosen the three screws holding the formed sheetmetal headlight retainer. This should allow you to rotate the retainer (its holes are elongated) and remove it from the car. If you have the trouble, remove the screws altogether. The old sealed-beam headlight should come right out and hang from the wiring. Unplug the old light from the wiring as shown and repeat for the other side. At this point, you should have both headlights removed with the ends of the old headlight harness hanging out of the holes in the headlight buckets. Uncoil the new harness onto the floor and look it over. You’ll note it includes the two relays previously mentioned as well as a fuse, all of which are shown here. This is the main element of the harness. The rest of it is really just a male plug to connect it to the old harness in the car and two female plugs that connect to the new headlights. Find a good mounting place for the relays and fuse. It’s unlikely you’ll need to access them later, but a suitable place for easy access is still a good idea. On this ’66 Mustang, we mounted the relays and fuse right outside from under the battery. Use the supplied self tapping screws to secure them in place as shown. The completed installation of the relays and fuse in our subject car looks like this. Note the battery in the upper right corner of this photo. The opening in this ’66 Mustang right above the battery was the perfect place to commence routing of the wiring harness. All three legs of the harness passed through here on the way to their required places. The two female plugs connect to each new bulb and the male plug connects to either one of the old headlight plugs. Run the harness so that each female plug comes through the hole in the back of each headlight bucket (where the old plugs came through) and so that the male plug is also in the vicinity of one of the old headlight plugs. For the cleanest routing of the harness, you’ll likely want to use the passenger-side old headlight plug nearby where the relays and fuse will also be. This is the one male plug already passed through to get to the old plug that came off the passenger-side headlight. Once passed through, connect the one male plug to the old female headlight plug (in this case on the passenger side of the car). This is the secret to making this system work and negates having to do any rewiring in the car. When the new harness is plugged like this into the old one, it relegates the old harness to only having to deal with low currents passing through the old wiring and headlight switch. The current now going through the old wiring is only controlling the relays which, along with the new wiring, now handle the high current of the high-powered headlights. The unused old headlight plug is then tucked away back behind the headlight bucket. The passenger-side female headlight plug is passed through the same hole in the inner fender above the battery… …then pulled through to the headlight bucket and attached to one of the new Hella lights. Once plugged in, the Hella light is reinstalled just like any regular headlight. Simply reverse the removal of the old light shown in steps 1-3. With passenger-side light, relays and preliminary harness routing completed, we next moved on to the driver-side. This includes routing the driver-side connector underneath the radiator. We were able to get this leg of the harness inside the core support, run it underneath the radiator and then have it come out of this opening right next to the driver-side of the radiator. Just like on the passenger-side, there’s an opening on the driver-side inner fender to run the female connector through the opening and to the headlight bucket. Once threaded through, the female connector is plugged into the other new Hella light which has already been done here. Once the light is plugged in, thread the excess harness back behind the headlight bucket and into the fender as is being done here. The headlight is then installed and secured into place with same hardware as was used with the old lights and the headlight door is reinstalled. Once the headlight is plugged in and installed and the excess wire is tucked into the fender, we went back and secured the underhood section of the harness with zip ties. Although the old headlight harness is no longer being used, it still serves a valuable purpose as a place to securely attach the new harness, as is being done here. Doing it this way really made for a clean routing job under the hood. Here’s the new wiring harness zip-tied into place to the old headlight harness. This is the section of harness running from down near the driver-side of the radiator to the opening in the inner fenderwell. With the headlights and harness installed, all that’s left is to connect the power (red) and ground (black) wires. Here an eyelet is attached to the red power wire. Attach another eyelet to the ground wire. Connect the black wire to the negative battery terminal or other good ground. Be sure your ground connection is solid as electrical problems are often due to poor grounding. Complete the installation by connecting the power wire to the positive battery terminal or the hot side of the starter solenoid as is being done here. Loosen and remove the nut on the solenoid, slip the eyelet onto the stud and reinstall the nut. Check over the whole wiring installation to make sure no wires are pinched, running over sharp edges or otherwise at risk for damage. Four-Headlight Fords Too The Reenmachine two-headlight package fits all years of vintage Mustangs (except for ’69s) and Falcons. For Mustangs, 1969 was the only year (vintage or late-model) that uses four smaller 5 ¾-inch lights instead of two 7-inch ones. Never fear, though, because if you have a ’69 Mustang or also some other four-headlight Ford car like a Galaxie, Fairlane or Torino, then you’re in luck. Reenmachine’s four-light system – that will also fit almost any classic car with four headlights – uses four Delta headlights (www.deltalights.com); a pair of low/high beams and a pair of highs. The included wiring harness installs very similarly to installing the harness in a two-light system. There are differences, though, such as that three old headlight plugs are retired rather than just one, but otherwise the wiring is basically the same. The Delta lights are also fantastic as hitting the high beams is like having full daylight right in front the car. This four-light system is also available from Reenmachine.

How does that dog's left hind leg feel after a few hours of sleeping that way? And, Doug, how did you find that very old man to pose for the pics in your link? So many questions, about life, the universe, and everything. But I'm on the road at 6 am tomorrow, so I'll likely have no answers in due time...still, I'll wonder about that pooch, and his leg. I wish everyone the best--have a grand July-August, ya'll!

BEST INSIDE LOOK AT HOW CITY HALL REALLY WORKS Dallas 2013 - Debate over gas drilling in city limits Oh, you thought City Manager Mary Suhm didn't actually run the city? And that City Council members read the stacks of paper put in front of them before voting on things? Bless your heart. The debate over gas drilling on city-owned property pretty much cleared up any lingering delusions about Suhm's place in city government. She secretly signed an agreement in 2007 with a gas drilling company, pledging to help change city policy in order to allow drilling on parkland. Then she (or her staff) snuck a lease into the mix that was not one of the ones the council approved. Suhm blamed the whole thing on a big misunderstanding, and the vast majority of the council quickly made clear that they were totally uninterested in investigating. Instead, the council just declined to let the driller sink its wells on parkland. So things kind of worked, in an ugly, infuriating way.

How do I use an SPSS setup file to import ASCII data? Setup files contain the syntax or program code to read undelimited data (ASCII) into a statistical package. The instructions below demonstrate how to use SPSS setup files in a Windows environment. These instructions assume that you have already downloaded the ASCII data and SPSS setup file from the Internet. If you have a compressed version of a file, you will have to decompress it before using the setup files. Note: In order to successfully use setup files, you must know the exact location (i.e., full pathname, such as C:\My Documents\Data) and filename (e.g., da9999.txt) of the files that you downloaded. Download the SPSS setup file from the ICPSR Web site. Most of the files downloaded from the ICPSR Web site will be compressed. You will have to decompress the files using WinZip or other decompression software. Once the SPSS setup file has been downloaded and decompressed, rename the file to add the '.sps' extension. This will allow SPSS to recognize the file as an SPSS syntax file. Do not save the setup file on your local machine with the ".txt" extension because SPSS for Windows will try to read it as a data file rather than a syntax file. Open SPSS for Windows. Open the SPSS setup file in the SPSS for Windows Syntax Editor. If a dialog window of shortcuts opens, close it by clicking the 'Cancel' button. Click on File and then Open to get an Open File dialog box. At the top of the box, where it says Look In, choose the path where the SPSS setup file is located. At the bottom of the box, set Files of Type to All Files to see a listing of all files in a particular directory or to Syntax (*.sps) if you saved the setup file with an '.sps' extension. You will then see a list of files in the directory you selected. Either double-click on the SPSS setup file or click once on the name of your chosen file (the name will appear after File Name) and then click on Open. Since the SPSS setup file is a text file, SPSS will open a new Syntax Editor window to display the file. If you try to open the SPSS setup file and you are prompted with a dialog box that says Opening File Options, then press Cancel. SPSS is trying to read the setup file as a data file rather than a syntax file. This is likely to happen if your setup file has a ".txt" extension. You can either rename the file and remove the ".txt" extension or you can open the setup file in an editing program and copy and paste the text into the SPSS for Windows Syntax Editor. Most ICPSR setup files contain a header that describes the contents of the file. Once you have opened the setup file in the SPSS for Windows Syntax Editor, read the ICPSR header, if present, for important information about what is contained in the file. After reading the header, scroll to the DATA LIST command. Replace the text that says physical-filename or file-specification with the full path and name of the data file extracted from the downloaded file. It is important that you include the full path (e.g., C:\My Documents\Data); otherwise SPSS may not be able to locate the file. For example, if you extracted the data for ICPSR 2992 into the directory C:\My Documents\Data and you called the file da2922.txt, then the DATA LIST command should read: DATA LIST FILE="C:\My Documents\Data\da2992.txt" / If there is a MISSING VALUES command in the setup file, ICPSR usually places an SPSS comment delimiter (*) before the command line, which means that SPSS will not read this command. If you want SPSS to read this command, you should delete the asterisk and be sure that the command starts in the first column of the line. Some SPSS setup files also contain a missing value RECODE command. This command may also have an SPSS comment marker (*) at the beginning of the line. If you want SPSS to read this command, you should delete the asterisk and be sure that the command starts in the first column of the line. When both a MISSING VALUES and missing value RECODE command are present in the same SPSS setup file, only one of the two commands should be executed. Choose MISSING VALUES if you want to retain the missing values in the data, but have them designated as missing values by SPSS for analysis purposes. Choose missing value RECODE if you want missing values converted to system missing. Please note that the missing value RECODE command may collapse several different missing values for one variable into system missing. Scroll to the end of the setup file. If an EXECUTE command is not already there, then type one in. Start the command in the first column of a new line and end the line with a period. You are now finished editing the SPSS setup files. Run the statements by clicking on Run -> All. The status bar at the bottom of the screen will show the commands that SPSS is processing. When SPSS has completed executing the commands, the status bar will display the message "SPSS for Windows Processor is ready." When the processor is finished, go to the Window menu and choose SPSS for Windows Data Editor to see the data. Any error messages will be printed in a log file in the SPSS Output window. If you do not see the data appear in the SPSS Data Editor, check the status bar in the lower left corner of the screen. If the status bar says Transformations Pending, go to the Transform Menu and click on Run Pending Transformations. This is usually necessary when you do not have an Execute command at the end of the setup files. Once you have read the data into the SPSS Data Editor, you may then start subsequent sessions using the imported data. You can bypass having to import the data with the SPSS setup files every time you want to access the data by saving the imported data on storage media; go to the File menu and click on Save As ... to save the file as either an SPSS system or portable file. Specify the directory where you would like to store the file using the Save in: box, enter a Filename, and choose the type of file you would like the data saved as. You can then begin subsequent SPSS sessions by opening the saved file from the Data Editor window. For further help with SPSS for Windows, consult the HELP menu on the top toolbar of SPSS or refer to the SPSS for Windows Base System User's Guide.

Jewish liturgical music Jewish liturgical music, the music used in the religious services of the Jews. The Bible and the Talmud record that spontaneous music making was common among the ancient Jews on all important occasions, religious and secular. Hebrew music was both instrumental and vocal. Singing was marked by responsorial, antiphonal, and refrain forms, and singing and dancing were accompanied by instruments. The first instruments mentioned in the Bible are the kinnor, evidently a lyre similar to the kithara, and the ugab, possibly a vertical flute. Other instruments, more of ceremonial than of musical value, included the hasosra, a trumpet, and the shofar, a ram's or goat's horn, the least musical of all and the only one still in use. When the kingdom of Israel was established, music was developed systematically. The part played by music in the Temple was essential and highly developed. New instruments were the nevel, a harp; the halil, possibly a double oboe; the asor, a 10-stringed instrument probably like a psaltery; and the magrepha, an instrument of powerful sound, used to signal the beginning of the service. Various types of cymbals originally used in the Temple were prohibited after its restoration. Ritual music was at first only cantillation, i.e., recitative chanting, of the prose books of the Bible. Later the prayers and biblical poetry were chanted, presumably in a modal system similar to the ragas of Hindu music or the maqamat of Arab music, i.e., melodies with improvisations. After the destruction of Jerusalem under Roman rule in A.D. 70, much of the chant was preserved among congregations of Middle Eastern Jews and arguably remains intact today, but the instrumental music was lost when the dispersed peoples, as an act of mourning, ceased playing instruments. A system of mnemonic hand signs for traditional chant had been developed in the Temple, and after the Dispersion this became the basis for the development of a system of notation. In the 9th cent., Aaron ben Asher of Tiberias perfected the te'amim, or neginoth, a system of accent signs. His notation superseded all other systems and influenced the development of the earliest Christian neumes, which became a precise system, while the te'amim retained their vague character (see musical notation). With the growth in importance of the synagogue came the rise of the chazan, or cantor. Among the Sephardic Jews in Arab-dominated Spain Arab music had great influence and was introduced into the synagogue. Later the Ashkenazim (Jewish communities that had their original European base in Germany) accepted some of the melodic forms of German folk song and Italian court song; this adaptation was more or less successfully opposed by traditionalists who reintroduced elements from the song of the Middle Eastern Jews. The post-Renaissance cantors developed a distinct type of coloratura, which was popular in 17th-century Europe. In the early 19th cent., instruments were introduced into some German synagogues, and other changes resulted from adaptations of Christian music. In the reform movement of the 19th cent., the cantor was eliminated, the organ was employed, and Jewish hymns were written in the vernacular and often set to tunes of Protestant hymns. Reaction against this movement brought a more moderate reform in which the Viennese cantor Salomon Sulzer (1804–90) was an outstanding figure. Sulzer aimed to restore the traditional cantillation, but without improvisation, and to make use of new music composed for the synagogue. He used the organ and included hymns in the vernacular. Sulzer's compositions, together with those of Louis Lewandowski (1821–94), another great reformer and the leading cantor of his day in Berlin, form the basis of much modern synagogue music. In Eastern Europe, Hasidic influence was beginning in the late 18th cent. Two major Eastern European composers of traditional music were the Russian cantors Eliezer Gerowitch (1844–1914) and David Nowakowsky (1849–1921). In the United States, the reform synagogues make extensive use of hymns, mixed choirs and soloists, and organ compositions. There is a cantor in modern orthodox and conservative services but the organ is used only in some conservative services. Several 20th-century musicians, notably Ernest Bloch and Gershon Ephros, have composed new works for the reformed and traditional services, respectively. See A. Z. Idelsohn, Jewish Music in its Historical Development (1967); A. M. Rothmüller, The Music of the Jews (tr. 1954, rev. ed. 1967); A. Sendrey, Music in Ancient Israel (1969); E. Werner, A Voice Still Heard (1976). The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed. Copyright © 2012, Columbia University Press. All rights reserved.

There's not been much respite in the weather lately, but there was a splash of blue in the sky for a few hours on friday afternoon and the clouds put on a bit of a show.

Presque Isle State Park in Erie is under siege. Invasive plant species are pushing out the native species and that spells trouble for the insects, animals, and microorganisms that rely on native plants. It’s an epic battle that has ensnared the park’s trees in the vines of Oriental bittersweet, filled the wetlands with Phragmites australis, and clogged paths with garlic mustard. Enter the Weed Warriors But thanks to efforts by Matt Pluta ’11, research assistant with Pennsylvania Sea Grant, and his crew of volunteer Weed Warriors, the invasives have been losing ground. A native Erieite himself, Pluta grew up in and around the water. He lifeguarded throughout high school and played water polo for the college. It was water that brought him to the School of Science. He planned to major in business management but switched gears after taking an oceanography class taught by Dr. Anthony Foyle, associate professor of geology. Now Pluta manages the plant war at Presque Isle. Fueled by federal grant funds and an enthusiastic group of nearly 200 volunteers, Pluta and the Weed Warriors are winning the battle against the top five most-wanted invasive species on the 3,200-acre peninsula (see sidebar). Roots Run Deep Pluta’s invasive plant-eliminating roots run deep into his years at Penn State Behrend, where he worked to eliminate Phragmites australis, a tall amber perennial reed grass with a feathery plume, in the wetland areas on campus. “It was an independent research project, and Matt was diligent in trying to figure out how to eradicate and dispose of the reed grass,” said Ann Quinn, who, along with Lisa Mangel, both lecturers in biology, helped Pluta develop the project. “He was forever in those marshes, learning about the monoculture that the invasive weed creates.” Phragmites australis plague Presque Isle, too. “It was really helpful to have had that experience,” Pluta said. What’s the big deal? Why all the effort to eradicate a few pushy plants? Bottom line: Invasive plants upset the balance in the ecosystem, and that can have serious consequences. “Native species provide habitat and food for native insects, birds, and animals,” Pluta explained. “With an invasive plant, nothing feeds on it or otherwise disrupts its growth, so it just goes wild, stealing sunlight and soil from the plants that should be there.” Since April, Pluta and his band of warriors have logged more than 500 hours, removing 377 bags of garlic mustard and cutting several acres of Oriental bittersweet. “A program such as the Weed Warriors will only be as successful as the intentions and commitments of the volunteers,” Pluta said. “I’m extremely grateful to be working with the earth-minded volunteers who care for it.”

Caravan & Camping Park on the We are located on the Gower peninsula, Britain’s first designated area of outstanding natural beauty, which extends 20km westwards from the City of Swansea. The peninsula is an ageless delight, with its landscape of cosy villages, farms, castle ruins and common land, bounded by 40km of incredible coastline and world renowned beaches. Situated on the western edge of the peninsula, you will find the most breathtaking of all Gower’s beaches, Rhossili Bay. From Worm’s head in the south, to the tidal islet of Burry Holmes to the north, the 3 mile sweep of golden sands is a constant reminder of the splendour of Gower. It is here, at the foot of Rhossili Down, 200m from the beach, embraced by farm and moorland and an extensive sand dune system, that you will find Hillend. But don’t just take our word for it! “Gower is one of the most naturally beautiful areas of Britain, and this site is situated on the edge of its most dramatic stretch of coastline. Huge dunes flank a vast expanse of sand that stretches for several miles. Despite the fact that it feels like you’re in the largest open space in the world, there’s a cosy and friendly spirit to the site.”The Guardian

RISMEDIA, March 5, 2007-(Part 1 of 5)-The Real Estate Apprentice Foundation announced that Anna Northcutt, a former FBI Agent and Cindy Newman, a former police officer, are currently locked in battle over a $70,000 Grand Prize Grant consisting of real estate fast track products and services. However, unlike many battles, this is a friendly one without violence. Northcutt works as a rookie agent for Prudential Realty Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Newman is a rookie agent with Prudential Fox and Roach in Haverford, Pennsylvania. Both Northcutt and Newman are the first and second of 10 finalists chosen from almost 2,000 applicants in the Real Estate Apprentice Grant Competition for Season V. Regardless of whether they move forward to receive the Grand Prize, both Northcutt and Newman are guaranteed minimum grants valued at $7,000 each, based on their placement in the Top 10 category. These two finalists received their respective licensing courses from Tennessee Real Estate School, a RealtyU® Real Estate School located in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Tri-State Real Estate School, also a RealtyU School, located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Anna Northcutt joined Prudential Realty Center after a career in federal law enforcement and corporate security. Prior to beginning her real estate career she served as a Special Agent in the FBI and later as an executive in several national companies. She has written for national publications, authored a book on selecting safe childcare and brings to her real estate career the reputation of being a person of integrity with a willingness to provide extraordinary service. She has lived throughout the United States and chose to live and work in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which she describes as the "greatest place to live". "My professional life began during the early 70's just as women were entering non-traditional professions such as law enforcement and the military," Northcutt says. "Often I was the first or only woman in a class or organization, which put me into a situation of facing obstacles from individuals and institutions. I learned not to give up and to keep striving to do my personal best, despite set backs and naysayers," she added. Prior to entering the real estate profession Cindy Newman was a police officer for 23 years. She spent a short amount of time as a road patrol officer, however the bulk of her career was spent working with at-risk and disadvantaged youth within the elementary/middle/high school settings. Newman was a teacher, counselor, mentor and friend to students of all ages/races and ethnicities. Her ability to connect and really make a difference in young peoples' lives was something very important and fulfilling to her personally. "I knew I couldn't save them all, but I know my compassion and involvement saved quite a few," Newman says. As a police officer she received hundreds of hours of training that involved conflict resolution, crisis management, verbal judo and other courses that broadened her ability to function at high levels during stressful and crisis situations. According to Newman she was highly trained in conflict management and resolution, which has carried over quite readily into her personal life. She is sure that will be a great asset in her new profession – real estate. Throughout the week of March 5 – 9, 2007, RISMedia will exclusively announce the names and stories of each of ten finalists for the Real Estate Apprentice Grant Competition. The grand Prize Winner, Semi-Finalists, and Honorable mentions will be announced on March 14, 2007. Proud Sponsors of Season V include: First American, Hobbs/Herder, RealtyU, eNeighborhoods, McLean International, Thomson Publishing, iSucceed, Calculated Industries, CreateAPlan, The Real Estate Cyberspace Society, ExpressCopy, VisualTours, Broker Agent News and RIS Media. Sponsored by RealtyU® and founded in 2004, The Real Estate Apprentice® Foundation is a non-profit venture created to assist newly licensed agents by equipping them quality guidance, education, products and services designed to alleviate their concerns and facilitate their rise to successful profitability. This is accomplished by providing 5,000 semi-annual grants, totaling $1 million awarded each season with no strings attached.

Bent Larsen, a Danish-born chess grandmaster who was a perennial challenger for the world championship during the 1960s and ’70s, died on Sept. 9 in Buenos Aires, where he had lived for many years. He was 75. Larsen, who was born in Tilsted, near Thisted in Denmark, represented Denmark twice in the World Junior Championship, in 1951 at Birmingham (placing fifth), and 1953 at Copenhagen (placing eighth). He never graduated in Civil Engineering, but decided to become a chess professional. He became an International Master at the age of 19 in 1954, from his bronze-medal performance on board one at the Amsterdam Olympiad. He won his first of six Danish Championships in 1954, and repeated in 1955, 1956, 1959, 1963, and 1964. Larsen defeated Friðrik Ólafsson in an exhibition match at Oslo 1955 by 4½–3½. He won at Copenhagen 1956 with 8/9. Larsen became an International Grandmaster in 1956 with his gold-medal performance on board one at the Moscow Olympiad. He tied for 1st–2nd places at Hastings 1956–57 on 6½/9 with Svetozar Gligorić. At Dallas 1957, he scored 7½/14 for a shared 3rd–4th place; the winners were Gligorić and Samuel Reshevsky. At the 1957 Wageningen Zonal, he tied for 3rd–4th places, along with Jan Hein Donner, with 12½/17; there were only three qualifying berths, so the two players had to dispute a playoff match. Larsen won by 3–1 over Donner at The Hague 1958 to qualify for his first Interzonal, at Portorož 1958. Larsen could score only 8½/20 for 16th place, and was not close to qualifying. But he scored his first major individual international success by winning Mar del Plata 1958 with 12/15, ahead of William Lombardy, Erich Eliskases, Oscar Panno, and Herman Pilnik. Larsen went into a slump beginning with the 1958 Interzonal. He tied 5th–6th in a powerful field at Zurich 1959 with 9½/15, behind winner Mikhail Tal, Gligorić, Paul Keres, and Bobby Fischer. But Larsen placed only 4th in a middle-range field at the 1960 Berg en Dal Zonal 1960 with 5½/9, and did not advance to the Interzonal. He recovered by sharing 1st–2nd places at Beverwijk 1961 on 7½/9 with Borislav Ivkov. At Zurich 1961, he tied for 6th–7th places with 6/11, as Keres won ahead of Tigran Petrosian. At Moscow 1962, he shared 7th–11th places with 7½/15 (Yuri Averbakh won). Around this time Larsen diversified his style, switching over to risky and unusual openings in some of his games, to try to throw his opponents off balance; this led to the recovery of his form and further development of his chess. He finished 2nd at the 1963 Halle Zonal with 13/19, behind winner Lajos Portisch, to advance to the Interzonal the next year. At Belgrade 1964, he shared 5th–6th places with 10/17 (Boris Spassky won). He tied for 5th–7th places at Beverwijk 1964 on 9½/15; Keres and Nei won. Larsen’s unusual openings were on full display at the 1964 Amsterdam Interzonal, where he shared the 1st–4th places on 17/23 with Boris Spassky, Mikhail Tal, and Vasily Smyslov, advancing as a Candidate. In the 1965 Candidates’ matches, he first defeated Borislav Ivkov at Bled by 5½–2½, but lost in the semi-final, also at Bled by 4½–5½ to former world champion Mikhail Tal. He won a playoff match for alternates, an eventual third-place Candidates’ position, against Efim Geller by 5–4 at Copenhagen 1966. In 1967 he won the Sousse Interzonal after Fischer withdrew, then won his first-round match against Lajos Portisch by 5½–4½ at Porec 1968. In Malmö, however, he lost the semi-final by 2½–5½ to Boris Spassky, who went on to win the title. In 1970 he shared 2nd in the Palma de Mallorca Interzonal, on 15/23, behind Bobby Fischer. He reached his top rank in the Elo rating system at the start of 1971, equal third in the world (with Korchnoi, behind Fischer and Spassky) with a rating of 2660. He then defeated Wolfgang Uhlmann by 5½–3½ at Las Palmas 1971. But then he lost the semi-final 0–6 at Denver to Fischer, who also went on to win the title. Larsen later claimed in a Kasparov.com interview (1998) that his one-sided loss to Fischer was due in part to his condition during the match: “The organizers chose the wrong time for this match. I was languid with the heat and Fischer was better prepared for such exceptional circumstances… I saw chess pieces through a mist and, thus, my level of playing was not good.” In 1973 he failed to advance from the Leningrad Interzonal; he tied for 5th–6th places with 10/17, with Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi winning. In 1976 he won the Biel Interzonal, but lost his 1977 Candidates’ match, a rematch of their 1968 encounter, to Lajos Portisch by 3½–6½ at Rotterdam. In the Riga Interzonal of 1979, Larsen scored 10/17 for 7th place, and did not advance. Larsen was known as a deep thinking and highly imaginative player, more willing to try unorthodox ideas and to take risks than most of his peers. This aspect of his play could even manifest itself in his choice of openings. “He is a firm believer in the value of surprise. Consequently, he often resorts to dubious variations in various openings. He also likes to complicate positions even though it may involve considerable risk. He has a great deal of confidence in his game and fears no one. His unique style has proven extremely effective against relatively weak opponents but has not been too successful against top-notchers.” He was one of the very few modern Grandmasters to have employed Bird’s Opening (1.f4) with any regularity, and had a long-term association with the move 1.b3, a system commonly known as Larsen’s Opening or the Nimzo-Larsen Attack in his (and Aron Nimzowitsch’s) honor. He played the Dutch Defence with success at a time when the opening was rarely seen at the top level. He revived the almost dormant Bishop’s Opening (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4) with success in 1964 and explored new ways for Black to seek activity in the Philidor Defence (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6). He was also the first top player to successfully use the Grand Prix Attack against the Sicilian Defence (1.e4 c5 2.f4), spurring a sudden and sustained gain in its popularity. In the mid-1960s, he showed surprising faith in Alekhine’s Defence (1.e4 Nf6) and even employed it on important occasions. He played the rare Scandinavian Defence 1.e4 d5 to defeat World Champion Anatoly Karpov in 1979, sparking renewed interest in that variation. A favorite line in the Caro-Kann Defence (1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf6 5.Nxf6+ gxf6) is co-named for him and David Bronstein; the idea is to accept a weakness to the Black pawn structure in exchange for an unbalancing of the position and retaining the bishop pair. The Grünfeld Defence (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5) was another opening that became a frequent choice of Larsen with the Black pieces and similarly, he placed considerable reliance on Grunfeld-Indian systems as White. This led him to co-author a groundbreaking 1979 book (with Steffen Zeuthen) on this opening and similar structures (ZOOM 001—Zero Hour for Operative Opening Models). His book of 50 Selected Games (1968) is renowned for its pithy annotations which delve into chess psychology and the effective use of rare openings. Larsen is respected as an excellent writer who reaches out to his readers; he was one of seven top Grandmasters who wrote fine chapters for the 1974 book How to Open a Chess Game. He edited the tournament book for San Antonio 1972. ###pgn###[Event "Portoroz Interzonal"] [Event "Santa Monica Rd: 6"] [Site "Santa Monica Rd: 6"] [Date "1966.??.??"] [EventDate "?"] [Round "?"] [Result "0-1"] [White "Robert James Fischer"] [Black "Bent Larsen"] [ECO "C82"] [WhiteElo "?"] [BlackElo "?"] [PlyCount "60"] 1. e4 e5 2.

Scientists successfully use DNA to store and retrieve data Biological rather than electronic storage may become the next big thing in computer science. Researchers from the European Bioinformatics Institute in Britain and Agilent Technologies in California have successfully used DNA to store and retrieve computer files including images, text and audio. DNA drives all life on the planet. It is the carrier of the genetic code for everything from bacteria and viruses to plants and humans. A single DNA molecule might have two billion steps, making it ideal for holding large amounts of data. It is also very good at copying itself and at high accuracy. The researchers did not rely on a living organism for the DNA.They created some using a DNA synthesiser. They used DNA to store 739 kilobytes of information, including a sound clip of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. The researchers translated the files “into a DNA code, synthesised this DNA, sequenced it and reconstructed the original files with 100 per cent accuracy”, the authors write in Nature.

US Airways' Kirby On Merger Rules: Bring Labor In, Get Systems Right The carriers expect the merger transaction to be completed, with bankruptcy court and regulatory approvals, by the third quarter of 2013. It should take about 18 months, to mid-2014, to secure a single operating certificate, although CEO Doug Parker said on a conference call with analysts and media that "what customers see will hopefully be sooner." In an interview on Thursday, after the two airlines announced plans to merge into the world's largest airline, US Airways President Scott Kirby said that a 2005 merger between America West and US Airways yielded two key lessons. "We learned it is important to have labor on board upfront, as much as possible, (and with) the historic partnership we have developed with labor, we will have 100,000 employees on day one all pulling in the same direction," he said. Asked what management did wrong in the 2005 merger, Kirby cited the technology systems integration, saying "it's really important to make sure the process and the training works. You have to make sure all the people are (well) trained." On the conference call, Parker elaborated on the systems integration, saying: "The learning experience we had, we will certainly bring to this. Airlines talk a lot about the merger of systems; the real issue is the processes these systems drive. That's where you get yourself caught." In the 2005 merger, America West's Shares reservations system was picked over US Airways' Sabre system. But Parker said it will be different this time, because "adopting the larger carrier's system and process is easier. "Stealing from a competitor, the people at Delta(DAL) called it 'adopt and go,'"he said. Kirby said many decisions, such as how to integrate management teams and whether to paint some American planes in the colors of predecessor airplanes, as was done in the 2005 merger, have not been made. He indicated that a Winston-Salem, N.C., reservations office, which employs about 820 people and dates back to Piedmont Airlines days, will remain open, as will an American reservations office in Cary, N.C, that employs 721 agents as well as 1,465 additional agents, includijng 575 in the Raleigh-Durham area, who work from home. "There are no plans to close any reservations offices," Kirby said. Asked how the Philadelphia and New York Kennedy hubs would be integrated, Kirby said that in general the merger will create growth. Philadelphia and Kennedy "are complimentary today," he said. "Kennedy is mostly a local market, serving customers to and from New York," while Philadelphia serves both a large local market and a large connecting hub with about 500 daily flights. "They are in relative geographic proximity, but they serve very different markets," he said.

The 2nd Annual Butterfly Release in the Nunan Butterfly Garden at the W. T. Bland Public Library will take place on Saturday, May 17. The program starts at 10:00 a.m. so check out the following activities so you can choose how you wish to participate: • At 10:00 a.m. there will be cake and coffee in our new Community Room • 10:30 a.m., a talk on butterflies and butterfly habitats by Teresa Wooddy, Master Gardener • 11:45 a.m. - Butterfly release • Noon – butterfly craft program & refreshments for children • Butterfly plant sale – all monies raised will go to maintain our butterfly garden. Make sure you bring your camera, as there will be a photo “ops” when the butterflies are released. Many thanks to the Mount Dora Library Association for sponsoring the 2nd Annual Butterfly Release. Teresa Wooddy has had a life-long passion for butterflies, dating back to her childhood where she chased butterflies every summer searching for unique specimens for her collection. As an adult, she prefers her butterflies alive and fluttering. After beginning her butterfly garden in 2008, she attended a seminar on raising butterflies and in 2009 interned at a professional butterfly farm, where she learned that one of the most important factors in raising healthy butterflies is to provide them with healthy plants. With this in mind, in 2013 she attended training at the Lake County Extension Office and received her UF/IFAS Master Gardener certification. Since that time, she has volunteered at the Discovery Gardens Butterfly House in Tavares, and given programs on the butterfly lifecycle and butterfly gardening to both adult and children’s groups. The butterfly garden was a 2012 Eagle Scout project created by Nicholas Ignao and installed and maintained by Boy Scout Troop 19. The butterfly garden is dedicated to Ruth and Richard Nunan for their support of our Library over the years. Ms. Ruth as she was known was a dedicated volunteer of the Library for many years. Major funding for the butterfly garden is provided by the Mount Dora Library Association with additional support by the Lakes & Hills Garden Club and the Garden Club of Mount Dora. All Library programs are free and open to the public. For additional information, call (352) 735-7180 option 5.

CUs Are Urged to Ply Big Data: Print Preview Card management consultants working with a payment processing CUSO and association are working to convince credit unions to look more deeply into their card members data to help the credit unions improve their card portfolio management decisions. Both The Members Group, a card processing CUSO affiliated with the Iowa Credit Union League, and Card Services for Credit Unions, an association of credit unions which process payments with FIS, have authored white papers in conjunction with consultants that urge credit unions to begin using big data to help manage their card portfolios as well as other products and services. Written in conjunction with its data analysis partner, IQR Consulting, the TMG white paper, “Data Analysis Points the Way Forward for Card Management Teams,” argued that analyzing the payment behavior of card holders can help portfolio managers cut costs, increase the cardholders use of the credit union’s card, cross sell cards to noncardholding members and determine which cardholders would be most likely to respond to a given promotion or incentive. For example, in one case the white paper discussed a credit union that feared its credit cards were being priced too low and turned to data analysis for additional insight into the question. After analyzing member transaction data, the credit union was convinced to re-evaluate the relatively few nonprofitable card accounts and to enhance service and marketing to the bulk of cardholders whose accounts were profitable but not as much as the credit union needed them to be. This strategy would avoid a risky rate increase that could eroded the cardholders preference for the card. It also cut costs on the portfolio. The Card Services for Credit Unions paper, “Member Segmentation Improves Your Bottom Line,” said using data to segment member bases can help a credit union target members with the best products and services. “There are plenty of ways to use segmentation analytics to find members that will respond to new opportunities and cross-selling efforts. For example, consider high-usage cardholders,” the association wrote. “Notice their spend patterns,” the paper quoted Dean Knudtson, senior consultant for CSCU. “Can you offer them a business card and realize a higher level of interchange? Or look at the spend patterns with your rewards cardholders. Can you shift their spend patterns to higher interchange merchants by segmenting them, and offering bonus points to shop at higher interchange merchants?” Knudtson also suggests breaking out lower FICO score members. “It might make sense to offer these members a secured card with limits equal to a deposit, thereby reducing your risk exposure while offering a great product to members who may be rebuilding credit or establishing credit for the first time,” he adds. “This is also a perfect way to stay true to the industry’s mission of people helping people.” The sorts of member segmentation and planning that both papers describe fall loosely into what is commonly known as big data, a popular term for the collection and use of massive amounts of transaction and payment data and to help assess and predict consumer attitudes and behaviors. It is the information science behind such online giants as Google and Facebook, as well as all three national credit bureaus, and now, the consultants suggested, it could be put to use helping credit unions better serve their members. “This technology is new enough that a lot of our work with an interested credit union revolves around helping them understand the questions that could be answered and then helping them formulate those questions,” said Todd Herren, chief technology officer for TMG. Most credit union executives, Herren explained, are used to thinking about data primarily in demographic terms and in terms defined by the national credit bureau’s credit scores. Most have no idea of how powerful a tool in card management data generated every time a member swipes their credit card could be. For example, a credit union contemplating offering professional sports teams tickets in a sweepstakes to drive credit card use could mine its cardholder data to find out how many cardholding members use their cards to routinely purchase sporting event tickets, sports equipment or gym memberships. Presumably, those members might use their cards more often to try to win tickets to a football or basketball game, he noted. “Segmentation allows you to spend valuable marketing dollars on campaigns that target those members and cardholders who are most likely to respond, which greatly improves your marketing ROI,” says Barney Moore, senior portfolio consultant with CSCU. “Improved revenues aside, segmentation is simply a better way to understand the needs of members in general and add value to their member experience.” With a combination of the right analytics tools, thoughtful evaluation of the results and solid PAU strategies, credit unions can execute more effective targeting and overall growth. “It’s a good exercise for better understanding the make-up of your portfolio and managing it more effectively. The key is not treating all accounts the same way,” added Moore. The technology is sophisticated and specialized enough as well, according to Karan Bhalla, consulting director for IQR, that it remains beyond the reach of all but the largest credit unions, which have the resources to seek out and keep employees with the specialized skills to do this sort of work. In addition, the technology is not without its critics. Critics of the technology in other industries have noted that getting big data does not guarantee the end user knows what to do with it, and privacy activists have questioned the necessity of collecting such a large amount of data about what could be personal behavior. But Bhalla dismissed the privacy concerns, noting that there are already opt out procedures in place in several areas that let consumers keep their data from being collected in big data searches and he welcomed still others. “From our perspective, opt-out procedures are a good thing since we only want to work with consumers who want their information to be part of bringing them better products and services. Every consumer who doesn’t want that and who opts out shrinks the overall pool that I have to work through to find the others.” But Ondine Irving, a noted credit union card consultant who helps credit unions manage their card portfolios by managing their processing expenses, questioned the wisdom of credit unions adopting such an sophisticated and potentially expensive technique to drill down in member data when many still do not control their costs at the portfolio level. “The overall portfolio analysis is the first step to understanding cardholder behavior–and unfortunately the status of quo of garbage in/garbage out is creating an industry of inaccurate data for [use in] program analytics,” Irving wrote in an email about the use of big data. “For example, when credit unions do not zero out outstanding credit lines on closed, lost, stolen and bankrupt accounts, the key metric of credit utilization ratios and average credit lines misleads the credit union into making wrong marketing decisions. Many credit unions are inaccurately reporting total credit line liability by as much as 20% due to lack of overall card program management techniques and best practices. The processing system does not realize this. Therefore, the data the processors use is inaccurate to start with.” “The bottom line is there are two types of cardholder behaviors–transacters and revolvers. Considering up to 70% of a card portfolios revenue should be coming from finance charge income and card loan balances and less than 25% of revenue is derived from interchange income, it would remain prudent for credit unions to focus on cardholder behavior at the portfolio level, providing the input of data is correct in the first place.”

I first came across Clover Canyon via Blair, and was interested to learn that the line is designed and produced in Los Angeles using original prints. I then got to try on a dress during vacation, and fell in love with the bright colors and surprisingly petite-friendly style. After returning home (to lower domestic pricing), I pored over all the print options available and had a tough time deciding what to try in the right size. I was most drawn to the Indian-inspired prints, with their vibrant and whimsical designs. I ordered this Taj Mahal sleeved dress and another sleeveless one (not yet arrived), and plan on keeping my favorite one. I wanted to snap some quick photos to share the sleeved option in detail, as the cut seems to be a Clover Canyon classic and the fit has been fairly consistent for me across different patterns I've tried. In-person, I thought the print was striking with a little surprise on every corner. Up-close with unedited colors: Material: Interior, unlined white backside of the neoprene (90% poly/10% spandex with wetsuit-like feel), which is one of Clover Canyon's signature materials. Likes: The weight of the neoprene does a bit of shapewear work but holds its structure, unlike bodycon styles that would be inappropriate at work. Dislikes: Not sure how this will feel in stiffing hot weather. There's a short zipper at the upper back neckline. All the raw edges were serged except for the lengths down both sides - I thought this was unusual. Fit: The fit of this dress off-the-rack is very similar to one of my all-time favorite ponte pencil dresses. That old dress was an H&M sz 2, and I had done extensive alterations customizing the shoulder width and hemming the length. The Clover Canyon in size XS requires no alterations for me. The shoulders and back armholes are a little big on someone my exact size, but not enough to get tailoring done. I look forward to trying the en route sleeveless dress to see if armholes are an issue. The neoprene dresses are probably designed to be very snug and mid-thigh length, which translates into a slightly snug fit and knee-length for smaller-framed ladies (not a bad thing if you plan on wearing this to work too). I also tried one size up while in London. The S did not hug my butt at all which is ideal for work, but the shoulders were noticeably wide, and the neoprene material just looks better with a closer fit. From Clover Canyon's website, "the team design original prints, and hand-engineer them to frame and enhance the body....garments are designed, patterned, cut and sewn in-house." I did notice deliberate placement of prints to enhance the figure (ie. hourglass bamboo lines along back sides), and (probably unintentional) petite-friendly proportions. Both styles I tried on have a horizontal waist band print that hits right at my natural waistline. This placement is ideal for a lengthening look, and is usually a deal-breaker for me when trying regular-sized garments. The dress length also hits at my current favorite right-above-the-knee, which makes fitted styles more demure. Value: Retail price points are higher than those where I usually shop, but I don't think they are unreasonable given the domestic design and production, and no alterations to be done. This item passes my versatility test for work (colleagues loved it out of the box and voted it'd be appropriate w/ neutral shoes and blazer), a night out as shown, and can be toned-down for casual wear with a denim jacket and flat sandals. I purchased through Revolve Clothing and had a very good experience. They offer 2-3 day free shipping and free returns, plus an awesome 30% refund on your first item for new customers (not sure how long this offer is going on for, and there may be brand exclusions). Email email@example.com after purchasing with "New Customer Discount" as the subject and your order/invoice number to get the refund.

Millbrook Middle School 7th graders study engineering in the classroom of teacher Jeffrey Barnes on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013, in Millbrook. Computer monitors, keyboards and chairs are all adjustable for proper ergonomic use. - Filed Under Taylor Redl likes using computers in school because they allow her to do more. "It interests me, using the different software," said Redl, 13, who lives in Clinton Corners and is an eighth grader at Millbrook Middle School in Millbrook. But if she sits too long at a computer - or her laptop, tablet or even with her iPhone - she feels it in her back and neck. Then she gets up and stretches, whether it's because she's been studying or spending downtime on the equipment. She also tries to sit straight while using electronics, thanks to her mom, Trisha Redl's, advice. ...

Thu August 16, 2012 Chilling Realities, Beggaring Belief In 'Compliance' The words "inspired by true events" are the first things to appear on screen in Compliance, Craig Zobel's queasy thriller of discomfort. I knew that this was the case going in, and had heard the basic facts of the "strip-search prank-call scam" that serves as the movie's inspiration. But I didn't know the full details — and as an ever-increasing load of humiliation and indignity was piled on the teenage fast-food worker at its center, I found myself getting angry with the film, assuming that Zobel was amping up the severity of real events for dramatic effect. The facts of the situation as I thought I understood them seemed harrowing enough: As it plays out in the movie, Sandra (Ann Dowd), the manager of an Ohio "Chickwich" fast-food joint, receives a call from a man (Pat Healy) falsely claiming to be a police detective; he accuses a cashier, Becky (Dreama Walker), of stealing money from a customer. "Officer Daniels" then enlists Sandra's aid in taking Becky into custody and strip-searching her. That not only Sandra but multiple employees of the store went along with this hoax is jarring enough. The further degradations the film goes on to detail just seem like overblown narrative embellishments, except for one important fact: They all happened, too. Compliance plays out like a twisted illustration of the conclusions reached by two of the most famous psychological experiments ever conducted: The 1961 Milgram experiment, which showed that given a legitimate authority figure issuing orders and taking responsibility, people will do as they're told, even if that means causing another person severe pain; and the 1971 Stanford prison experiment, in which normal people given the roles of prisoner and guard would play out the expectations of those assignments, often to cruel ends. The chillingly sociopathic caller puts both of those concepts into play here, being stern with Sandra — and the other people who are later called upon to guard and search Becky — when a controlling influence is needed, but also passing along that authority, to give them their own power to wield as well. There's an eerie calm combined with a disturbing impish glee in Healy's turn as the caller, and Dowd plays Sandra with just the right mixture of uncertainty and commitment to duty; that mix creates the baseline of sympathy for her that's necessary for her to come off as both a victim and a perpetrator here. Zobel chooses to give the viewer the role of omniscient observer here, the intent seemingly being to create a sense of dread by giving us all perspectives at once. The caller's manipulations are on full display, and Becky's impending violations are all detailed before they happen. The director also displays extreme caution when it comes to the line between observer and voyeur: His camera doesn't shy away from Becky's nudity, but it also doesn't linger. And when her imprisonment reaches its most lurid low, Zobel recognizes the value of the Greek-tragedy approach, and mostly turns away to let our own minds fill in the blanks. The sum total is uncomfortable, extremely difficult to watch, and it may still strike some viewers as too raw. That's all by design, and the film expertly uses all of its resources to jangle the nerves; the grimy scrape of the driving cellos in Heather McIntosh's excellent score for chamber strings is still echoing anxiously in my head. But there is the lingering question of how much Zobel's approach really offers any enlightenment as to why this incident — and 69 others similar to it over a period of 12 years — happened. Making the viewer privy to all sides does heighten the tension, but it also offers a certain distance. It's too easy to watch what's going on and think, "Well, I would certainly never fall for that trick or do any of these awful things." That's a convenient and not entirely honest reprieve, given the Milgram results suggesting that that's simply not true for more than two-thirds of us. It feels like a missed opportunity; Zobel might have drawn us into the film more fully, made us complicit in Sandra's misdeeds. Even without that added mirror, though, Compliance is still a wickedly compelling thriller, a skin-crawling, stranger-than-fiction examination of the darkest power of authority.

"Don’t be fooled by the brevity of the EP; the 23 minutes of music on new again has more depth and intricacies than most long-players. The four tracks are like classical compositions, taking the listener on a sonic adventure that combines orchestral twist and turns with more traditional “song” components (and some incredible melodies and harmonies). Like some sort of dream supergroup featuring members of Grizzly Bear, the Flecktones, Kronos Quartet and The Books, the Maladies manage a sound that winds through psychedelic passages, classical interludes and intimate folk melodics — all through the course of one track. The musicians in The Happy Maladies sound like virtuosos at times on new again, but it’s the song arrangements’ expansiveness and broad use of different colors and tones that will keep listeners coming back for repeated listens...a progressive mix of Appalachian Roots, Neo-Classical Chamber music and modern Indie Folk."

Jordan to continue crackdown on pirated software Since all but two private schools in the capital [of Jordan, Amman,] have stopped using pirated software, the National Library Department (NLD) on Sunday said it will start a campaign next week to inspect private schools in the governorates. “Last month, we launched a campaign to check on private schools in Amman. All of them currently use original software except for two that are in the final stages of replacing pirated software with originals,” NLD Director General Mohammad Abbadi told The Jordan Times. “Our campaign in Amman was successful; the schools cooperated and understood the need to stop using pirated software, but the problem now is with private schools in the governorates,” he said. Around 25 per cent of small- and medium-sized private schools in the country still use pirated software in their computer labs, and more than 90 per cent of these schools are located in the Kingdom’s governorates, Abbadi added. “Our teams will be touring these schools soon during a campaign in cooperation with Microsoft. Private schools in the governorates suffer from difficult financial conditions, but this does not mean it is acceptable to use pirated software,” he noted. “Microsoft showed readiness to take the financial situation of these schools into consideration and provide them with original software at discounted prices.” Meanwhile, Abbadi noted that the NLD has referred more than 95 cases of intellectual property rights violations to court since the beginning of the year. The Jordanian Copyright Law stipulates that it is a crime to download software, music or movies that are protected under the legislation. Offenders face a prison sentence of between three months and three years and a fine ranging from JD1,000 to JD6,000. Software piracy in Jordan rose by 1 per cent in 2011, but the rate was still among the lowest in the region, according to a study by the Business Software Alliance (BSA). The Kingdom registered a 58 per cent software piracy rate in 2011, compared with 57 per cent in 2010 and 2009, according to the ninth annual BSA Global Software Piracy Study. - Eclipsing Facebook and Twitter: WhatsApp most popular social media site for Arabs - More technology, less fashion: Why fashionistas haven't exactly fallen for Apple's smartwatch - Why the new Samsung Galaxy S6 will 'redefine mobility' - Blackberries officially gone: Meet the UAE's top 10 smartphones - No plastic!

The People’s Choice Awards are no Oscars, that’s for sure, but stars like Taylor Swift, Chloe Moretz, and Ellen Pompeo still rocked the red carpet in some great ensembles. From simple gowns to neon frocks, we were pleasantly surprised by (some of) the looks, and we’ve rounded up the best of the best right here. Taylor Swift ditched her girly gowns for a white-hot Ralph Lauren gown with a plunging, down-to-there neckline, and finished the mature look with a tousled updo, smokey eyes, and turquoise drop earrings. Chloe Moretz‘s neon Simone Rocha frock was super cute and fresh, and, most importantly, age-appropriate. Ellen Pompeo‘s pleated cream Lanvin dress is perhaps the least red carpet-y ensemble of the night (that honor went to Lea Michele‘s short, sheer, and sequined Elie Saab number), and that’s why the simple, effortless dress ruled. See these ensembles and more below, and tell us whose look was your favorite: this is some kind of spaceship or something.

Hey everyone I sold my 2007 Access Cab and bought a 2013 DBSB and been doing a lot of research on which CAI to go with. I've heard the Volant system would make the 4.0's run rich but that they have changed the set-up for the 12-13 models. Does this new setup still make the truck run rich? Anyone have any input that actually has this 12-13 setup? Please hold the "stay with stock intake" comments. I simply want to know if the new Volant systems are still running rich like that older models are.

The chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security said the evidence was uncovered by Secret Service investigators who are seeking to question the women, The New York Times reported. King said additional Secret Service personnel have been sent to Colombia to conduct the interviews. The New York Republican, who was briefed on the investigation by Secret Service head Mark Sullivan, said the picture of what transpired in Cartagena remains incomplete. "The 11 agents are having different recollections about what happened or are not telling the truth," King said. The Pentagon is moving forward with its own investigation after learning several -- perhaps 10-12 -- military service members also were involved. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, the ranking minority member of the Homeland Security Committee, who was also briefed by Sullivan, said about 20 women were brought into the hotel, and some of them ended up with military personnel, the Times said. "Could they have planted bugs, disabled weapons, or in any other ways jeopardized security of the president or our country?' Collins said she had asked the Secret Service. "Is there any evidence of previous misconduct by these or any other agents on other missions?" ABC News reported earlier Secret Service agents also had gotten into a dispute with bouncers at an upmarket Colombian brothel, an incident that drew local police. Witnesses told ABC the agents also boasted at the Pley Club in Cartagena about their mission. They allegedly made remarks like "We work for Obama" and "We're here to protect him." The 11 agents arrived in Cartagena two days before the president, who attended the Summit of the Americas last weekend. They reportedly visited the Pley Club, one of Colombia's best-known brothels, Wednesday night. Prostitution is legal in Colombia. Witnesses said some of the agents sought the services of the highest-category prostitutes at the club, who charge at least $200. While they paid in advance, there was a later dispute about the bill in which club bouncers got involved. The security clearances of the 11 agents have been suspended while the charges are being investigated, CNN reported.

|Synopsis Home||Psalms Psalm 85| Psalms 9 and 10 Psalms 23 and 24 Psalms 42, 43 The need of Jehovah's blessing; restoring work I have long hesitated, in reading Psalm 85, whether the first part referred to external deliverance and the grace shown in it, and the following to the causing the people to enter into the enjoyment of it by the restoration of their own souls; or, as we have seen is often the case, the statement of the great result as the theme of the psalm, and then going through the sorrows of the remnant and divine workings which led to this result. There will be a restoring work in the souls of the people after their outward deliverance. Nor do I now speak of this psalm with very great certainty on this point. On the whole, I am disposed to think that they look for their enjoyment of divine favour in it, as between themselves and God, when delivered from all their enemies, and shown to be forgiven by that deliverance. Thus the first three verses lay this ground, that God has been favourable to His land, and brought back the captivity of Jacob. This was the great public truth. But in verse 4 the restored people have need of other blessing in the reality of their own relationship with God. "Turn us, O God of our salvation." Jehovah was the God of their salvation; but they needed His blessing in the midst of the land. They would that His people should rejoice in Him. How true this is often of the soul which knows forgiveness! It looks for Jehovah's mercy and salvation, being thus restored to Him, and listens to know what Elohim Jehovah will speak; for they reckon on mercy. He will speak peace to His people their public character and to His saints the remnant who are to enjoy it. Faith has then the certainty in every way that His salvation is nigh them that fear Him, that the glory of Jehovah may dwell in the land. Mercy and truth, righteousness and peace, the divine principles of establishment of blessing The last verses celebrate, in remarkable terms, the divine principles on which their blessings are then established. God's mercy and truth had now met. His promises, always true, had now been fulfilled by mercy. It is to be remarked that in the psalms mercy always precedes righteousness and truth. For Israel had forfeited all title to promise in rejecting the Lord had come under full guilt had no righteousness on which to lean had been concluded in unbelief, that they also might be objects of mere mercy. But then through Christ's work these promises would now be fulfilled, and mercy and truth met. But more than this. Jehovah was their righteousness, through grace; and hence that righteousness was peace for them; and that which in judgment would have been their ruin, was in grace their peace righteousness and peace kissed each other. I need hardly say how true these great principles are for any sinner for yet better and heavenly blessings; here they are applied to earthly ones. Truth shall spring out of the earth (that is, the full fruit and effect of God's truth and faithfulness shall be manifest in blessings, full blessings, on the earth). But it was not by a righteousness that man had wrought legally here below. Righteousness looked down from heaven. It was God's righteousness, Jehovah their righteousness. But this made it stable. Jehovah gives that which is good, and the land is blessed. Righteousness traces the path of blessing for Jehovah and Himself in the land His own no doubt. Still His rule shall be so characterised. A king shall reign in righteousness" no more oppression. Justice is no longer fallen in the streets, as Isaiah 59: 14 speaks; judgment is returned to it, and the government has this character. "And the fruit of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever." This last, indeed, is practical; but it is the result of righteousness having looked down from heaven, yea, of its being established on the earth (compare Psalm 72: 1-7, where this state is described).Synopsis by John Darby

I have been going over this issue for a year now and i just cant make a decision about pet insurance. I am so confused with it all. I really need to get it sorted. Does anyone in Australia have any advice on what pet insurance has been working well for them? I'd love an insurer that covers 100% of vet bills. Covers future conditions for life of the dog eg: heart condition etc. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Funny, moving, and full of truth, Gus Van Sant's Milk sports great work by Emile Hirsch, James Franco, and Josh Brolin, who locates the lost-boy pathos in an all-American killer. But Sean Penn rules, playing the country's first prominent, openly gay politician, Harvey Milk, as a middle-aged everyman who, finding his courage, transforms his life and countless others'. Holiday On Ice With A Christmas Tale, celebrated French director Arnaud Desplechin invites us to choke (partly from laughter) on Christmas dinner with a family no less fascinating for being terminally toxic. Who do you love: Catherine Deneuve's icy matriarch, Mathieu Amalric's alcoholic scapegoat, or the prettily poisonous sister who lives to take him down? Call it heresy, but John Patrick Shanley's Doubt outshines his Pulitzer-winning play. As the authoritarian nun who sees sin in a priest's concern for a schoolboy, Meryl Streep is chilling, fierce, and Oscar-bound. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the angry, worried priest and Amy Adams as the gentle nun who started it all perform with uncommon grace.

Memorial Day is this weekend – and there’s nothing as refreshing as a cool glass of lemonade laced with homemade mint syrup! And if you’re anything like me, you have plenty of this tasty herbal weed growing throughout your garden already. So gather a small harvest and pull out your favorite pitcher and some ice for a delicious way to greet the start of summer. - 1 1/2 cups of fresh home grown mint - 1/3 cup raw sugar - 1 cup of water 1) Chop, dice, puree or pulse your mint into the finest pieces possible. If you’re foregoing a food processor (kudos for skipping the electricity!) be sure to also grind your mint to help release some of the aroma. 4) Next you can add your mint. Let your concoction come to a boil, then turn off the heat. 5) Before doing anything else you’ll want to let your syrup cool down. Some folks prefer a smooth clear syrup. If that sounds like you then you’ll want to strain the liquid. If you’re like me you’ll want it to remain chunky. Now you can pour your simply sweet and minty syrup straight into that pitcher of lemonade – or save it for later. Store your syrup in style by using a rustic looking jar, or one of these adorable embroidered lichen creations from Ecoetsy team member Summer’s shop Ottoman. As you can see, making simple syrups is a breeze! After your first batch you’ll quickly become addicted and will be on your way to experimenting with other flavors before you can blink. Throw in some dried lavender for a Portland inspired syrup or get really creative by using savory herbs like basil or rosemary. No matter which direction you choose you’ll find countless ways to use your syrups beyond lemonade. Stir some up with club soda. Add a shot to your latte. Or pop some over your buckwheat pancakes. The possibilities are endless and tasty! With this yummy recipe in mind – what else will you be cooking up this Memorial Day weekend? Share your spread ideas below! 125 total views, 3 views today

Heres some background, I met SO in August. Shortly after we began dating I moved in. I know, stupid move.I was so optimistic and naive. I thought he was the guy I had been looking for. Then, his true colors started showing. He admitted that he knew he had HPV when he started dating me. I was shattered. Initially he wasn't even apologetic. Just defensive. He's been manipulating me and has a told disregard for my health and he has the gall to be defensive. By this point my feelings are kind of strong, but there are other reasons why I am sticking with this guy. It hasn't even been a month yet and he is always accusing me of things for no good reason. One time he took me to my sisters house and waited outsidewhen I came out he was mad as hell and told me to pack my shit, he was kicking me out because Im a liar. I was SO confused and hurt. It completely blind sided me. He drove over the speed limit on the way home, accusing me and saying there must have been some guy in my sisters house that I was meeting. I showed him what I was doing, I went to my sister to edit a picture of him and I and it turned out really nice. After that he apologized, I forgave him. I still put the picture on facebook and a lot of people 'liked' it thinking we were a cute couple. Pictures dont tell the whole truth. So, a week or so goes by and his facebook account is open, I see a message he wrote to another girl! Wow. Words can not describe how ridiculous this guy is when it comes to accusing/suspecting me of cheating or flirting. He had a roommate that he swore I had sex with, for NO REASON. So when I saw this I was shocked. He said he must have written it when he was high. He told this girl I had "trapped" him. This after he cries like a baby to me about how sorry he is about not telling me about the hpv. I have my reasons for staying, they arent really good enough. But they're enough to keep me around. Deep down I never truly forgive any of his actions, only outwardly. It only gets worse. One of the nights he accuses me of sleeping with the roommate I tell him I think he's jealous of his roommate and he chokes me and calls me a bitch.When I start to pack my shit he wont let me go. I make it clear I want to leave.I hit him back and he starts asking me why I him HIM! Wtf. Crazy. Ok. He has hit me since then. Last time he was furious because I changed my fb status to single. I forget why I did that. But he threatened to kill me if I didn't change it and pushed me around until I would. I refused. He slammed my head into the mattress and pulled me by my feet off the couch. I scraped my arm. Still I didnt move. Fast forward to today. I woke up and he was screaming obscenities. Apparently his wallet was missing. It's 7 am. He goes berserk. Mind you, he's lost his wallet before a couple weeks ago. He had everything canceled and replaced.I honestly, have no idea where it is. He puts his feet (with dirty shoes on) on my couch and I ask him not to and he says I dont care about your couch and I say well I do and he says I would too if this were the only furniture I would have in my whole life. Wow. Not only is he spitting on my character by accusing me of being a thief (he steals from his family btw), but he is also putting me down and saying I will never achieve success on my own.He keeps demanding his wallet back and insisting that I help him find it. Then he tells me about this other girl and how this and that she is and how she gives him hugs all the time (in class).He threatens to break my things. This goes on for 2 hrs. Then he gets a phone call from a cop telling him he's outside and he found his wallet! So he comes to me and I stop him midsentence and tell him I dont want any apologies I just want to be left alone. I care about him and I wanted to have a kid with him, but not any more. I can do so much better. He talks about having a baby and marriage every damn day and I just dont respond anymore. The main reason I havent moved on yet is because Im waiting until I find a job and become more independent. Until then I feel like I should stay here. But I dont think he deserves a woman like me.

National Strawberry Shortcake Day is tomorrow and is totally a thing, you guys. I only know of it because I was told about it but I feel like every day should celebrate a different dessert. I wonder if there’s a Coconut Cream Pie day or a Peanut Butter Pie day or a Chocolate Covered Strawberry day. Do these other things exist?? I’m too lazy to Google them right now. Like I said – I was told all about National Strawberry Shortcake Day. I was offered a gift card and some coupons for Driscoll’s berries and asked for my take on Strawberry Shortcake Day. And here it is, in the form of heart shaped strawberry scones! Hearts are NOT just for Valentine’s Day, okay? It can be for any day. It can be a “just because” thing. Just because I felt like hearts! I wasn’t sure what exactly what I was going to do for this post. All I knew is I had these beautiful strawberries. For some reason strawberry scones seemed like a great idea. I hadn’t made scones in a long time and I didn’t want a sponge cake or a biscuit like in normal shortcake. I wanted something a little different. Let’s get to baking! I read this trick about freezing the butter and then using a grater to get into finer pieces. Having the butter shredded like this (doesn’t it look like cheese??) makes it easier to break it up into pea sized crumbs in the flour. See? Pea sized crumbs. It took a lot less time with my pastry blender to get it down to this size. If you’re not all fancy like me and have a pastry blender (I’m not really that fancy, Jake gave it to me from his hand-me-down kitchen utensils since he didn’t know what to do with it) you can just use a fork. Or use your hands if you’re not physically repulsed by touching things (I am not, for the record). Then the strawberries and heavy cream are gently mixed in to form a dough. I think it looks pretty already! The dough is kneaded gently until it all comes together and isn’t all bits and pieces. I rolled it out to 3/4″ thick. I have to use a ruler for that part. I can’t seem to eyeball height! These are then put on a tray and then stuck in the oven to bake into glorious little strawberry scone creations. Now for the Coconut Cream part! My original intention was to use this coconut cream to make coconut whipped cream… but I messed that one up big time. You’re supposed to let it chill for a long time and THEN use it but uh… I didn’t do that. My cream never managed to whip up and stiffen because I did not let it chill long enough. I got impatient and so I got bad results. I’ll save that one to try again on a rainy day (or… “Mary is bored and wants to bake” day since we hardly get rain). Instead I ended up using the coconut cream to make a simple glaze with powdered sugar and glazed all of my strawberry scones. It had a nice coconut-y flavor without being too overpowering. It adds flair to the scones (and not the kind of flair from Office Space – the tasty kind of flair)! The scones are only made with a 1/4 cup of sugar anyway, so the glaze sweetens them up a bit. I made regular whipped cream and then stacked two scones together with a bunch of macerated strawberries in the middle. You could have this as dessert…. or breakfast. There’s fruit in it! It’s totally okay for breakfast. Hope you make this and try it out! Happy National Strawberry Shortcake-ish Day! - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour - 1 tablespoon baking powder - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 6 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter - 1 cup chopped, ripe strawberries - 1 cup heavy cream - 2-3 tablespoons coconut cream - 1 cup powdered sugar - Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or use a silpat baking mat like I do). - Mix together your flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add cold butter (you can use the trick of freezing your butter for about 15-20 minutes and grating it, or just cut it into tiny pieces and then mix it into the flour mixture) and cut it into the flour until it's in pea sized chunks and looks kind of crumbly. Add in the strawberries and toss them gently in with the flour mixture. Stir in heavy cream and mix it together until a dough forms. Be gentle at this point! You don't want to overmix this sucker - you want to handle it as little as possible until it forms a dough. Knead the dough a couple of times until it all comes together. - On a well floured surface, dump your shiny new dough out. Put a little more flour on top and using a rolling pin get it to be 3/4" inches thickness. Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out the scones. Transfer to your prepped baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. - To macerate strawberries: Clean and slice your strawberries and place into a bowl. Add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar on top and mix. Let sit for 20-30 minutes. It will create it's own liquid and be a little more sweet! - To make coconut cream glaze: Mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar and add a tablespoon of coconut cream until it is the desired consistency. I like my glazes thick and tend to only put 2 or 3 tablespoons in. Mix and spread over each scone. - Surely you know how to make whipped cream? Make some of that and add it with your scones. Yummy. - I know the adapted link says these are biscuits but I made them sweeter with the glaze so I consider them to be scones! Biscuits to me are also a lot flakier/lighter than these.

AfriGeneas Genealogy and History Forum Archive Re: Edwards, SC after 1880 In Response To: Re: Edwards () Here's a possible: EDWARDS, JESSIE (1900 U.S. Census) I think that since you have quite a few females listed - you first need to find out who they married. Same for the boys who are young - who have fairly commen first names - like Robert. Have you examined birth, death, marriage and tax records for Union and York counties? You could then determine how long some stayed.

The Unitbody makes the XJ light, but it also contributes to the “throwaway” reputation. The fact is that if you wheel the Jeep hard, you will start fatiguing the metal. Eventually every wheeling trip will result in new cracks and doors and body panels that don’t line up anymore. Unitbody stiffeners to help counter this are available from many aftermarket companies, such as Rusty’s Off-Road, T&J Performance, Roc Dog Fab, and Ruff Stuff Specialties. Shown is a T&T Customs stiffener installed on a ’98 Cherokee.

This is a guest post by Tony McKenna. Tony is a Hegelian Marxist philosopher whose writing has appeared in the Huffington Post, New Internationalist, Monthly Review, New Left Project, Counterfire and the Marx and Philosophy Review of Books. Fiction is unique. The central criterion for literary creation is not the availability of a given content but its absence. A historian may look at a centuries` old mansion and yearn to penetrate its secrets; to discover its precise age and to derive a realistic account of the day to day routines of the people who once lived there. To shed light on it. But to a writer of fiction the same house proves alluring for the very opposite reason, for its dark inscrutability, its mystery – as those are the factors which spark the imagination; they make us consider what shapes might be lurking in its murky shadows, what ghosts rattle around in its secret cellars or undisclosed attics. It is privation, the lack of a coherent content which focusses our creative power and forces it to intercede; the imagination is driven to fill the void with its own forms. This is simultaneously the most wonderful and the most terrifying element about being a story writer. On the one hand you don’t need expensive stuff. You don’t have to rely on lab equipment or any other set of pricey paraphernalia beyond the cost of pen and paper. And yet…and yet…despite the humbleness of your tools you can create, quite literally, anything. You can call into being spaceships or monsters or even whole worlds which put into the shade anything Hollywood with all its sleek, slick CGI generations might dream of. An empty page presents us with an infinity of possible wonders untrammelled by the limits and finitude of our actual existences. The writer J.M Barrie made the unfortunate mistake of growing old but Peter Pan, on the other hand, – he will remain young forever. At the same time there is a cost. As any creative writer knows, that blank page, replete with its infinity of potential, is also capable of exacting a terrible price – submitting the writer to its infamous ‘tyranny.’ The essayist who is bereft of ideas can always find a new topic or situation to hand, in a newspaper or on TV, to analyse and comment on, but in the case of the creative writer – they have to call into being the situation itself; the characters and plot. Their process is the stark pain of birth, the harsh bright of a brand new day. And all too often it is an abortive process; the character or situation you devise is not able to rise to the level of fictional being, of believability, and you realise you have just spent the last week or month or year labouring in vain. This, assuming you are able to alight upon an idea in the first place, to perform the miracle which the creative act constantly demands; that is, the creation of something from nothing, the filling of that empty page with the depleted reserves of your imagination day after day after day. Is it any wonder writers of fiction have acquired a reputation for alcoholism? And the sad truth is that few fictional writers will ever be published, let alone acquire the status of a Stephen King or Rohinton Mistry. Worse still the art of creative writing itself is something which is increasingly looked down on, derided or dismissed. The recent proposals of Michael Gove, for example, to implement more poetry into the primary school curriculum were met with almost universal contempt. On a recent edition of Question Time, the panellists were challenged to recite a poem from school which had most helped them in their careers; the implication being an almost satirical one – a sense that the lofty airy fairy poetic imagination could have little connection to genuine social accomplishment. And yet, literary creativity and the indulgence of imagination are not simply abstract, unworldly pleasures to be enjoyed by those with their heads in the clouds. These things have an eminent practical value too and are important to the function of the social order just as much as the science based subjects, though in a radically different way. Having witnessed first-hand the trial of Adolph Eichmann in the aftermath of the Holocaust, Hannah Arendt coined the phrase – ‘the banality of evil’. In articulating this, she didn’t mean that evil acts were now so common-place that they appear to us as ordinary and every day. Rather, she argued, the forms and structures of National Socialism had affected a new degree of separation between the individual subject and the life and thought of others. The death camp guard was able to carry out their day to day routine, not because they were inherently evil, but because he or she was acting within the mechanics of a bureaucracy which had successfully abstracted them from their victims. The guards would focus on the minutiae and the immediacy of bureaucratic routine to such an extent that they lost the broader capacity to imagine what the situation of the victims actually felt like. The ‘banality’ of evil to which Arendt refers lies, ultimately, in its lack of imagination. Perhaps the truth of this is in some-way validated by another of Nazism’s ritualistic horrors – the burning of books. Certainly the regime wanted to supress any currents of information which ran counter to its own social philosophy – political thinkers in the Marxist tradition were particularly targeted. But a diverse set of literary works was also used to feed the flames. It wasn’t simply about eliminating information which had an antagonistic character to the regime, though this was a prime consideration. Rather the ritual implies something more profound; that is – the burning of the creative imagination itself. For this was key to the security of the regime itself, it needed to assure its ‘banality’ in order to function. The lazy, fashionable anti-intellectualism which regards the products of our creative imaginations as somehow inessential to the real world – is critiqued most effectively, perhaps, by a simple consideration of those places where the imagination has been reduced to ashes.

A great scale for roasting, brewing, cupping, etc, at a great price! Positive Product Points Very easy to use Great cost vs. value Accurate enough for most any application (1 gram sensitivity 0-1kg, 2 gram sensitivity 1-2kg or 1/8 oz sensitivity) Scale can be re-zeroed Looks great (IMO) Lithium battery included Easily switches between oz and gram. 5 lb. capacity makes this a great shop scale. Negative Product Points None so far. I love this scale. I use it everyday at the shop to weigh out coffee for drip, french press, and whole bean sales. I also use it at my house for roasting. I have used this scale for cupping and it worked just fine for me. I wish the scale was slightly more accurate, but I wouldn't expect anything more from such a low price tag. Not to say that the scale isn't accurate. It has 1/8 oz sensitivity and one gram sensitivity from 0-1 kg and 2 gram sensitivity from 1-2 kg in metric. I love the fact that it switches from grams to oz/pounds so easily. I weigh out all of my coffee for press pots, roasting, cupping, etc in grams, and then if someone wants a pound of coffee beans I don't have to figure out the math in my head from grams to pounds I simply press a button and it switches over to pounds with 1/8 oz sensitivity, ensuring that I truly am giving the customer 1 lb. of coffee. I would definitely recommend (and I do frequently) this scale to anyone who needs an accurate scale for brewing, roasting, or cupping but doesn't want to spend a ton of money on one. Purchased from SweetMarias.com. I have never had any problems with them at all, and have placed many orders with them. They are always very prompt with deliveries, and you will receive both a confirmation email from them and an email from UPS regarding your tracking number as soon as the order is processed. I have nothing but praise for SweetMaria's customer service and high quality green beans.

Here are some tips how you can encounter the other classes you will face while playing Battlefield Heroes. If you don't want to read everything, you can find a little summary under the single topics. Use the SMG against short/medium range targets (When available with Burning Bullets), the pistol against enemies far away, TNT against tanks. Never ever use your TNT against infantry. Always try to get from behind or from the side, Sixth sense can help you. Use your camera to look around corners. Try not to walk great distances without any cover nearby. When under fire, locate your enemy and evade by moving left and right. Only move backwards when you want to flee (or want to keep the distance to a Gunner/Knifer, of course). Moving backwards wont help you evading your enemy's bullets. When you're low on health, draw back and use bandages + CM to get full health again. - SMG -> short/medium distances, pistol -> far distances, TNT -> tanks - Use Sixth Sense for an overview over the battlefield, attack your enemies from behind - Watch out for Snipers, try to always have some cover around you - When under fire, evade by moving left and right As long as Gunner do not have Leg It activated, they aren't difficult to handle. Activate Burning Bullets and simply shoot him up. When he is still „far“ away, use your pistol to damage him before the real fight begins. This is more effective than shooting with your SMG. If he gets too close, use Blasting Strike to get him away. Try avoiding kegs , as they slow you down and deal nice damage. Also try not to be thrown in the air by bazooka shots, it makes you an easy target as you can't move while flying. When a Gunner has Leg It, it's quite hard to aim. Again: Try to keep your distance, though it's really hard. High level Blasting Strike can save your life. When he's close with his shotgun, jumping can save a lot of hitpoints. Don't throw grenades on a Gunner with Leg It. He can easily evade them. - Keep your distance to the Gunner, e.g. with Blasting Strike - Avoid kegs and bazooka rockets - Use your pistol as long as he is still far away I think you just have to be better than your opponent. Both of you can have the same equipment. However, you can do some thing which will increase the chance you'll win the fight: Surprise your enemy by coming from behind/the side can give you the upper hand as well as jumping while in very close ranges. If you don't know whether he has Blasting Strike or not, watch out for obstacles behind you . It can deal ugly amounts of damage if you get thrown at the wall right behind you (I already lost ~60 damage from one BS). Additionally, try to evade the Grenade Spam of your opponent (or normal grenades he might throw. I don't recommend to do this unless you are really good with them, as you have to hit your opponent directly - Come from behind, use Sixth Sense - Avoid being crushed by Blasting Strike - Don't use Grenade Spam or normal grenades as they are easy to evade There will be two "types" of Commandos you will encounter: Melee Commandos (Pistol or Knife) and Sniper (or even worse: camper ^^). Pistol commandos are easy to kill, most use the short, fast range pistol, and hardly ever I've been killed by such a Commando. Just shoot him up. are a way more dangerous. If you fight against a skilled knifing Commando, you may have a problem. If you have Blasting Strike , then blast him away. If don't have BS yet, just try to shoot him up. In any case, use Burning Bullets . Some Shots with BB + BS should kill a Commando if you throw him against an obstacle. If you get knifed, never ever just move straight backwards! Move left and right, try to evade the stabs . As a Commando is much faster than you, he can easily kill you when you just move in one direction. Additionally, the knife has a rate of fire, too. Most Commandos just hold their left mouse button down, so try to adjust your movement to his stabs. Playing with sound can tell you a Commando is sneaking up behind you when you hear the Elixir sound. are a greater problem. When you see a sniping Commando, grab your pistol , aim and shoot him. Most Commandos are dead before they realize they are being shot. If you're the one being shot, first use Combat Medicine . Most bullets deal more than 40 damage, so there is no need to wait with CM. Now, there are two possibilities: 1. You have cover, so hide. 2. There is no cover you can reach before getting shot. So try to locate the Commando (can be tricky especially when the Commando is very far away). You can use your SMG with Burning Bullets to try to ignite him. Or you take your pistol and try to shoot him with it. If I see the Commando is not too far away, I first ignite him and then try to shoot him with the pistol. It depends on the distance which weapon is more effective. Of course always try to evade the sniper bullets. Don't move straight on, run in irregular circles for example. I don't know how to describe it exactly, I think you know what I mean Playing with sound can save your life. If you hear the Piercing shot sound , jump, duck or at least try somehow to dodge the bullet. - Use Blasting Strike against melee Commandos - Try to evade the stabs of Knifer by strafing and jumping - Use the pistol against sniping Commandos who are not shooting at you - If you get shot, heal and hide - "Reveal" Commandos' invisibility with Burning Bullets This is the greatest problem as a Soldier. You are slow, you don't have a speed buff to get close to the tank (which is necessary to get your TNT on the tank) and you can't damage it from far away. The only ability which can help you is (beside CM, of course) Blasting Strike. You can use it turn the tank upside down (Best solution, but you have to throw him against an obstacle or he will unlikely flip over) or at least throw him away, giving you time to either flee or put a TNT on it. Also remember you can use BS to prevent a tank smash. Though many people throw their Grenade Spam on tanks, it nearly doesn't deal any damage unless you get most of your grenades right under the tank. But most tank driver will just evade them. I would not waste time on trying to kill a tank with GS. When close to a tank, try to get your TNT at the end or the front. Stay at his side, neither he can shoot you nor he can run over you. When you know your TNT will finish the tank, try to shoot it with your SMG. Most drivers will leave their tank when they're low on health and hear a TNT is going to explode. Shooting the TNT can surprise your opponent. When you have a tank yourself, aim for the sides of the enemy tank. You always quit a vehicle on the left side when you were driving. So if a Commando leaves his tank, you know where to look for him. Don't forget Burning Bullets to be able to track him once you hit him. - Use Blasting Strike to prevent tank smashes, flip the tank over or to buy some time - Aim for the sides of the tank - He can't hurt you when you're right next to him - Shoot your TNT - Don't use Grenade Spam, it's useless Well, your greatest worth in a team are your two shareable skills: Combat Medicine and Sixth Sense (Yes, 6th Sense is shareable ). When your group faces one or multiple enemies, wait a bit until you think one or more people in the group could use a CM. Try to alternate with the other soldiers: There's no need for your CM if a Soldier just activated his. Also, stay in the middle of the group to make sure everyone is affected by CM. When you're walking in a group, 6th Sense is handy, because your mates can better throw their kegs/grenades/Grenade Spams. And please, if someone in front of you does the „I need a medic“-Emote and maybe even looks (or shoots) at you, activate your CM. You will easily survive the 12 seconds you're left without it. When playing with friends (and all of you have a headset + microphone), use a voice program like Teamspeak, Ventrilo, Skype, Shockvoice or even ICQ or X-Fire. It helps you to stay together or to coordinate which abilities everyone takes with him (2 Gunner can support a whole team with permanent Leg It when they both have level 3 Leg It, for example). It also saves time because you don't have to use the (crappy) ingame chat. And it's simply more fun when you have someone to talk to - Share Sixth Sense and Combat Medicine - Alternate with your teammates - Use voice programs while playing with (a) friend(s)

Photo by Brian Leatart Leave a Review Superb! Best at the height of the summer peach season. I used gluten free ginger snaps for the crust and followed the recipe exactly. Baking time: about 1 hr 15 mins. Next time I think I will increase the amount of peach compote. I too spiraled peach slices (dipped in a lemon/water solution) over the entire top and brushed with preserves for shine. Beautiful presentation and big hit! I did an almond cookie crust using Voortman's Almond Crunch cookies grinding them in the food processor until fine, 1 1/4 packages, then mixed in 5 Tbsp melted butter. This makes enough for a 10" cake or a 9 1/2" cake a smaller 6" cake. For the filling, I used half light cream cheese and half original, I used 5 peaches (dicing them) in the compote, and I added the peach schnapps, I also added 2 Tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 cup cold water to thicken up the compote a bit because I felt it was too runny. I had left over compote so I froze it for another day or you could also use it for over ice cream. I had enough cake mixture to do a 9 1/2 " and a 6" cake top size. After putting the glaze on the cake, I also peeled 2 more peaches into some lemon juice, tossed to coat them so they wouldn't brown then topped the entire cheesecake in a spiral fashion with the peaches. Then using a basting brush, added more of the peach preserves to cover the peaches to make them shine. Quite a presentation and everyone including myself really enjoyed it at the BBQ. Followed this recipe exactly except for one small exception. I'm not sure about how everyone else felt about the size of the 9" springform but I felt like the amount of ingredients were really more suited to a 10"springform. So I used a 10" and baked for 75 minutes. I was sceptical of the peach compote inside the cheesecake but it was really delicious!This is a winner for a late summer ending barbeque finale!!!! First time trying to make a cheesecake. I am not an experience cook so I found the lack of specific instructions unnerving, but the result was awesome! I probably cooked it for an hour and a half, not the 1 hour. And I was still worried about it when I finally pulled it out. I would definitely make this one again. http://yfrog.com/5gbfrnj I'm not all that great at baking, yet I attempted this anyway. It was going well, until it hit about an hour and 15 minutes of baking... I was running late for a date... so I turned the oven off and left it in there to finish baking/gradually cool. My cheesecake cracked. So I used the glaze and garnishing peaches to cover the imperfections and it tasted great! So, if I can make it turn out well, anyone could... This has become my default cheesecake recipe! I've made it a few times with the peach/ginger combo, but it's so much fun to experiment with my own flavors. My personal favorite? Chocolate raspberry. I use chocolate cookies for the crust, a bit of almond extract and mini chocolate chips in the filling, and fresh raspberries mixed in, with a few dropped right into the top before baking. Yum! I have made this cheesecake several times for office functions, and it is always a hit. As far as the gingersnap crust, I found that if you pop the ground up cookies into the microwave for about 30 seconds, they will soften up a bit and absorb more of the butter. I always add another 1/2 tsp ground ginger to the crust mix, which really pops against the flavor of the peaches. I also add about 1/4 C Peach Schnapps to the filling mixture. You really have to let the compote cool to room temperature before you work with it, else the filling will come out soggy on the middle. This came out exceptionally creamy and delicious and I definitely will make it again. The only thing I would change would be to peel my peaches first next time (maybe I was supposed to in the first place?) as the little bits of fuzzy skin in the compote was a bit weird. I cooked it for about an hour 20 mins on 300 degrees in a water bath. Love this recipe but didn't have peaches however I did have mangoes and they worked beautifully. Everyone loved the cake. I used some apricot jam drizzled on top and then sliced a fresh mango and laid it in a cirle on top. Very nummie! Best cheesecake I ever baked or tasted! i doubled the crust recipe for thicker crust, halved the sugar in the cheese mix and made extra compote for the top instead of fresh peaches/glaze. the combination of flavors (gingersnaps/peaches) is what makes this cheesecake stellar.

An unregistered sex offender has been arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior at the downtown YMCA. It happened at the YMCA, 402 N. Market, Wednesday night. The 39-year-old man exposed himself and did inappropriate things with children present, police said. Adults who were supervising the children noticed the man fondling himself and reported the incident. "This is certainly something we do not want going on in our community," Capt. Doug Nolte said. The man was booked on lewd and lascivious behavior. Through the investigation, police found the man was a convicted sex offender. Jail records show he's currently being held on charges he violated his probation as a sex offender and a fugitive from justice warrant out of California. Through police records, the man has been identified as Charles Miller. According to the Kansas public offender registry, Miller was convicted of molesting a 3-year-old child in California in 2005. As terms of his sentence, he was ordered to register as a sex offender for life. The offender site says Miller last updated his information in May of this year.

“Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from Your law.” There is a clear Biblical calling for being in God’s Word (2 Timothy -17), for meditating upon His truths (Joshua 1:8), and for letting the Holy Spirit lead and instruct our hearts and minds (John ). We need God’s Word as our daily bread (Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew ), without which our spirits will be weakened such that we will struggle to obey and bear abundant fruit for the kingdom. We need a regular intake of truth, for as Jesus said, “Sanctify them in the word; your word is truth” (John ). The purpose of this collection of devotions is not so that we can say that we put our time in 100 different times so as to appease God in some fashion or to satisfy our sense of duty. The point of studying God’s Word is for spiritual growth so that we learn more about God, grow deeper in our walk with God, and learn to love Him more fully than we had before. Life is about knowing, loving, adoring, worshipping, and enjoying God. He alone can satisfy us. As Psalm says, “You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” There is a way that seems right to a man, but it ends in death (Proverbs ). And there is a narrow path, much less traveled, that is the way of life (Matthew ). This path leads to an enjoyment of the constant presence of God in our hearts and lives, and for eternity, it grants us every spiritual blessing in and through Christ (Ephesians 1:3). Satisfaction is what we all seek, and it will never be found in money, fame, or any other earthly thing or pursuit. Ultimately, only God can satisfy, and devotions are meant to remind us of this truth and to help us to better enjoy this reality. Life to the full is about knowing and loving God, and devotions must help us do that. They must teach us through the Scripture rather than just give us some feel good story to make us feel warm and fuzzy for the day. They must really help us learn God’s will and ways for our lives so that that we can know Him, love Him, and enjoy Him more deeply, purely, and fully. It is so easy to grow complacent and to not keep moving forward in our Christian lives. Satan has all kinds of things that he can utilize to weaken us, to distract us, to deceive us, and to keep us from being what God wants us to be. Hosea 6:3 says, “Let us press on to know the LORD.” This is how we find refreshment, by pressing on in faith in studying God’s Word and in humbly letting the Spirit of God in our hearts teach us, instruct us, convict us, shape us, and lead us. Refreshment comes by repenting of where we have gone wrong and turning to God. Acts says, “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” Sin is our problem, and God’s truth is our hope. Refreshment can only be found through the proper application of truth by faith through the Spirit. James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” Many people want God to be near, but they fail to see that it is their job to make the first move. God says to draw near and then He will draw near in return. My prayer is that many will draw near to God by reading these devotions and choosing to heed the exhortations and commands of Scripture contained therein. I pray that you will be nearer to God by the end of this book than you were at the beginning. Are you willing to draw near, starting now? If so, keep reading.

7500 Rialto Boulevard Austin, TX 78735 – Source 105 S. Canyonwood Drive Dripping Springs, TX 78620 – Source BBB Listed Address 6060 North Central Expressway Dallas, TX 75206 – Source. Interestingly this appears to actually be the address for The Sartin Law Firm. Not sure of relationship to Heritage Debt Relief. Domain registered on December 27, 2007. unable to verify domain ownership. Debt settlement company. Robert Martinez – Company was registered in Texas on December 27, 2007. – Source 1-800-406-6624 (Toll Free) Client Relations Department: 800-406-3521 (Toll Free) As with much debt settlement marketing information, in my opinion, I find that the message about options is slanted towards debt settlement, including on this site. This impression began with the fact that when talking about debt settlement the debt settlement options page talks about the benefits of debt settlement while all the other options of bankruptcy, debt consolidation, credit counseling, or doing nothing are all presented with drawback headers. Now I get that the purpose appears to be to sell debt settlement but the information is slanted to do that, not provide visitors with a fair and balanced information in which to make an informed decision. See pictures below of the headers and notice expressions of people in headers. I found the information presented on the options pages to create some issues for me. I don’t have time to review every page so let’s look at just the debt settlement and bankruptcy option pages. On the debt settlement options page: - “Debt settlement, also known as debt negotiation, is the most cost-effective option to pay off your debts and relieve you of having to file bankruptcy.” – Source - “Debt settlement is a proactive approach for debtors experiencing the stress of too much debt.” – Source - “Through negotiation, our program will reduce your debt to a fraction of what you currently owe. So, you end up paying only a percentage of the debt.” – Source - “Our program is custom-built for each client’s personal and financial situation, and level of debt, in order to make the process as quick and affordable for you.” – Source It is my opinion that debt settlement is not the most cost-effective when many companies charge 15% of the debt enrolled in a program as a fee for services. This, on top of the late fees, penalties, and possibly legal charges when the customer is sued by their creditors, leaves debt settlement three, four or five times more expensive than bankruptcy which gives the consumer superior legal protection, stops collection calls and ends all lawsuits. I struggle to see how debt settlement can be labeled a pro-active approach when by its very nature it is an approach when the consumer intentionally stops paying their bills and becomes delinquent on their debts which begins collection activity and can lead to being sued. Many say the process of intensive collections and being sued is extremely stressful. In fact collection pressure is the leading trigger for bankruptcy. It appears they claim that through their negotiation their program will reduce your debt to a fraction of what you owe but what is not presented is that typically the number of people that actually settle debts across debt settlement programs is very low. Their statement might make the average reader think that all their debt included will be reduce to a low amount but I simply believe that not to be true for all their clients. And the 75% debt reduction figure is presented on the site in numerous place so it looks fairly dangerous that an uneducated reader might believe that all of their debt would be negotiated to achieve this result. Typically debt settlement programs are designed for the consumer to pay what they can afford each month into an escrow account from which debt settlement fees are typically extracted first and then over time a balance will accrue to use for settling the debt. So unless their statement about being quick and affordable means that they will collect their fees on the back end as a percentage of savings so debts can be settled right away, I don’t see how that statement is helpful. On the bankruptcy options page: - “Bankruptcy can be invasive, expensive and stay on your credit report for up to 10 years.” – Source - “Sometimes bankruptcy is the best option for debtors, but it is generally considered a last resort.” – Source - “Debtors can leave bankruptcy court with heavy financial obligations due to court and attorney fees” – Source - “Assets such as homes and business may sometimes be taken for payment.” – Source - “You have to explain yourself to a judge and to some creditors, which can be invasive and embarrassing.” – Source - “Bankruptcy remains on your credit report for up to 10 years. And, it may be very difficult to get a loan – even after the bankruptcy is over.” – Source - “A recent bankruptcy law revision makes it more difficult to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. As a result, many bankruptcy filers file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which is essentially a repayment plan like you would find with a consumer credit counseling program.” – Source Bankruptcy costs far less than the fees charged by most debt settlement companies. The statement they make does not put the fees into any sort of context so let me. In a typical debt settlement program the company will charge 15% of enrolled debt plus you will pay a monthly fee over the life of the program. Let’s say it takes four years and the monthly fee is $40 and the enrolled debt is $50,000. The total fee paid would be $9,420. Bankruptcy costs between $1,250 to about $2,500. That’s 13% to 27% of the cost of debt settlement. Rather than “expensive” it is actually cheaper than debt settlement. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will remain on the credit report for up to seven years, the same as the bad debt as the result of a debt settlement program. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for up to ten years but I have seen examples where a Chapter 7 bankruptcy had been removed after seven years as well. I’m not sure how it could be stated that a bankruptcy is “invasive.” In a bankruptcy filing you list your financial condition, assets, income, and liabilities. Nobody is asking you about your sex life. Saying that bankruptcy is a last resort is not a supported statement I think they can make. The number of people that file bankruptcy each year far, far exceeds the number of people that successfully settle their debt through a debt settlement program. In fact, is a consumer want to stop all collection activity cold, stop wage garnishment or block lawsuits to collect debt, and wanted a fresh start quickly in a matter of months instead of years, then bankruptcy is not the last resort, it’s the first. I can’t even begin to understand the statement about leaving court with “heavy financial obligations” due to fees. The court fee for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is $299. – Source. And the attorney fees are much less than typical debt settlement fees. I asked a bankruptcy attorney to give me feedback on the statement “Assets such as homes and business may sometimes be taken for payment.” He confirmed that in his experience, less than 1% of Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases were asset cases where the trustee liquidates and administers the asset. The vast majority (90%+) of assets liquidated and administered are tax refunds. So let’s put that into context. Chapter 7, or possible asset liquidation cases account for 70% of all non-business bankruptcy filings. Out of that number only about 1% of those are asset liquidation cases and 90% of those are tax refunds and not homes or businesses. – Source The statement made that the person has to explain themselves to a judge and creditors is not accurate in my opinion. When the debtor goes to court they see the bankruptcy trustee who may ask them to confirm their bankruptcy filing and may ask them some questions. Creditors rarely appear. Again, any questions asked are going to be about the facts presented on the bankruptcy filing, not about your sex life. I already addressed the credit report statement. The issue about being very difficult to get a loan after bankruptcy is not true in my experience. People find that immediately after their bankruptcy discharge they will begin to get offers for credit. If someone makes an effort to rebuild their credit they can be approved for loans for homes and cars in a relatively short period of time. The recent changes in the bankruptcy laws they speak about went into effect in 2005. Hardly seems recent. And as I pointed out most bankruptcy filings, 70%, are not Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings. They also say that a Chapter 13 “is essentially a repayment plan like you would find with a consumer credit counseling program.” That statement is not true. A Chapter 13 repayment is based upon the disposable income available after factoring in approved expenses. This monthly payment may result in say 10% of debt being repaid at 0% interest while a credit counseling program will repay 100% of the debt at an interest rate determined by the creditor. The two repayment approaches are nothing alike except that a payment will be made monthly. The attorney I asked to look at the statements made on the page said, “To me the information on Heritage Debt Relief’s web site seems intended to scare consumers aware from filing bankruptcy through misinformation.” The FAQ Page I’m not going to launch into another extensive review of a page, at some point I have to stop, but what I did find shockingly missing was information about the tax implications of settling a debt and information about the possibility of being sued by a creditor while in debt settlement. – Source One More Thing The site certainly gives the impression that debt can be reduced up to 75%. See the header below that appears in home page flash movie. But in their own example of settled accounts, below, the average settlement was for 67% and not the 75% they appear to promote. – Source This video accompanies the written review I wrote at GetOutOfDebt.org/17657 about the Heritage Debt Settlement Web Site.

Egypt's Mufti Shawki Allam has strongly slammed Israeli lawmaker Moshe Feiglin for storming the Al-Aqsa precincts under the protection of private guards. "The Zionist provocation to the feelings of Muslims unveils a bad intention against the Arab and Islamic holy sites in the Palestinian territories," Allam said in a statement. Allam urged the Palestinian rivals to unify their ranks to stand up to such acts. He called on the international community to condemn such provocative acts, which violate all international conventions and the UN resolutions. Feiglin on Wednesday morning entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound under the eyes of Israeli police and the protection of private guards. He stood up at the Dome of the Rock Mosque and demanded deporting the Palestinians.

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre tried playing in his fourth straight Cactus League game Thursday night. He didn't play as long as he wanted. Beltre left in the top of the fifth inning after two at-bats with tightness in his left quad muscle during the first night game for the Rangers this spring. Beltre has been known to have minor leg injuries in Spring Training that he usually plays through during the season. This is the first time this spring that Beltre has reported an issue. "It's tight," Beltre said. "I went through the workout earlier but didn't run, and before the game I sprinted and it felt tighter, tighter and tighter." Beltre usually has problems with his hamstring muscles, which are in the back of the leg. The quad muscle is on the front side. "I'm not used to the front," Beltre said. "I'm used to the back. This is new for me." Beltre was scheduled to get the day off Friday and will likely not go to Phoenix on Saturday for the Rangers' game against the Athletics. So the earliest he will play is Sunday against the White Sox. He said he is not worried about the injury. "I didn't run full speed today," Beltre said. "I don't know how it is. I tried not to force it." T.R. Sullivan is a reporter for MLB.com. Read his blog, Postcards from Elysian Fields, and follow him on Twitter @Sullivan_Ranger.

Quest for the perfect Pt/Pd paper Have you tried the Strathmore 500 series drawing paper? It's about half the weight of Platine and initial tests have led to some really striking results for me. Much more detail than Platine (I also print 5x7). I was testing it with fumes silica and getting mixed results but it was the silica causing the occasional streaking I am sure. I intend to try the Strathmore 300 series plate finish drawing paper as well which looks to have the same surface but is heavier. I'm hopeful the papers chemistry is the same. Attached is a crappy iPhone pic of the tested image

Minneapolis, Minnesota- There are official national symbols and there are official state symbols. The apple is New York’s official state fruit, the valley quail is California’s official state bird, the wood violet is Illinois’ official state flower, and humuhumunukunukuapua’a is Hawaii’s official state fish. Soon, the bible will become Louisiana’s official state book. By a vote of 8-5, a committee of the Louisiana House yesterday advanced a bill that would make the bible the official state book. Rep. Thomas Carmody, R-Shreveport, said he sponsored the proposal after a constituent made the request. But Carmody insisted the bill wasn’t designed to be a state endorsement of Christianity or a specific religion. “It’s not to the exclusion of anyone else’s sacred literature,” he told the House committee. Enter Michele Bachmann, U.S. representative from Minnesota. She loves the idea so much she is taking the proposal to a national level. The congresswoman is busy drafting legislation that would make the bible the country’s official book. “This is an opportune time to introduce this bill considering that next week marks Christianity’s Holy Week leading up to Easter,” Bachmann said. Asked by The Adobo Chronicles which version of the bible she would be proposing as the official national book of the U.S., Bachmann replied, “I will get back to you on that. I didn’t realize there was more than one version of the bible.”

It’s time to put a wrap on an interesting Week 12 that will be remembered for its blowouts, a wild overtime thriller and a signature victory by Michigan State that clinched at least a share of the Legends Division crown for the Spartans. With that said, here’s a wrap on Week 12 in the Big Ten. Biggest surprise: Michigan State pulling away from Nebraska and winning fairly easily. The final was 41-28. But, the Huskers added what essentially was a meaningless touchdown in the waning seconds to tighten the margin. Yes, this game was close for most of the contest, but Michigan State asserted its control with a strong ground game. It also helped that Nebraska had five turnovers. MSU now has at least a share of the Legends Division title. Biggest disappointment: Nebraska. The Huskers had a great chance to make it three wins in a row and set up a glorious finish to 2013 but fell at home to Michigan State, 41-28. If not for five turnovers and not having injured Taylor Martinez, the Cornhuskers may have been able to secure a victory. Aside from the turnovers, the offense did its part, gaining more yards (392) than any team has on the Spartans’ vaunted defense in 2013. Still, it wasn’t enough. Best play: Loved the pick six by Ohio State’s Bradley Roby. In the first quarter at Illinois, he leaped, snagged the ball and raced 63 yards for a touchdown. Beautiful. Play this again: Michigan 27, Northwestern 19, 3 OTs. The game featured only field goals in regulation, going to overtime at 9-9. The Wolverines forced extra time by kicking a 44-yard field goal as time expired. It was a wild finish, as Northwestern’s losing skid is now six games. Michigan gained a bit of relief after suffering losses at Michigan State and to Nebraska. Never play this again: Wisconsin 51, Indiana 3. This series has been ultra-lopsided in recent years. The Badgers have won the last nine meetings. The fewest points they have scored is 33 and 31. Wisconsin has scored over 50 in six of the last nine meetings. The last four have been especially brutal, as Wisconsin has outscored Indiana, 255-44. That comes out to an average of 63.8 points in those four wins. WEEK 12 GRADES Michigan State: A- Ohio State: A- Penn State: A – Braxton Miller. He continues his torrid pace. At Illinois, the Ohio State quarterback completed 13-of-29 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns and ran 16 times for 184 yards and a score, averaging 11.5 yards per tote. – Carlos Hyde. The big fella didn’t get the start. But, it didn’t matter. The Buckeye back battered Illinois for 246 yards rushing, averaging 10.3 yards per carry with four touchdowns. – Zach Zwinak. The brutish Penn State back rumbled for 149 yards and three touchdowns. Purdue didn’t want to tackle him. – Danny Etling. The true freshman signal-caller continues to make strides. He hit 21-of-33 passes for 223 yards with a touchdown and interception for Purdue in one of his better efforts this season. The 21 points were the most the Boilers have scored all season in Big Ten play. – Brendan Gibbons. The Michigan kicker raced onto the field in the dying seconds to kick a 44-yard field goal to force overtime vs. Northwestern. – Wisconsin ground game. It pounded Indiana for 554 yards rushing. The Badgers had 323 yards rushing at halftime and almost broke the school single-game mark they set last year vs. Indiana when they rushed for 564. [ MORE: See what Dienhart learned in Week 12 ] – Buckeye win streak: It’s now 22 in a row with games left vs. Indiana and at Michigan. – Penn State offense. It had its way with Purdue, notching 501 yards with 289 coming on the ground. The Nittany Lions also converted 10-of-12 third downs, as Penn State is assured of at least a .500 record. – Allen Robinson. He broke his own Penn State single-season record for receptions, finishing with eight catches for 98 yards. Robinson also holds the school record for single-season receiving yards. – Michigan State’s title hopes. The win clinched at least a share of the Legends Crown for the Spartans. – James White and Melvin Gordon. The dynamic duo was at it again. White ran for a career-high 205 yards, including a school-record 93-yard TD jaunt, and Gordon rushed for 146 vs. Indiana. Oh, and true freshman Corey Clement went for 108 yards rushing. – Jeremy Gallon. The Michigan wideout had 10 catches for 115 yards vs. NU. – Ohio State offense. The unit notched 591 yards and 60 points at Illinois. The Buckeyes ran 42 times for 441 yards, averaging 10.5 yards per carry, as OSU built a 35-7 second quarter lead and cruised. – Nathan Scheelhaase. The Illinois quarterback kept firing, hitting 33-of-50 passes for 288 yards with two touchdowns and two picks. He rallied the Illini to 35-21 in the third quarter, but OSU pulled away as Scheelhaase was sacked five times. – Ameer Abdullah. The Nebraska back keeps on keeping on, running 22 times for 123 yards. It was his ninth 100-yard game in 2013 and gives him a Big Ten-high 1,336 yards for the season. – Michigan ground game. After notching minus-69 yards rushing in the previous two games, the Wolverines ran 44 times for 139 yards (3.2 ypc). Hey, it’s a start. – Wisconsin defense. It did a number on the Indiana quarterbacks. Nate Sudfeld hit just 9-of-22 passes for 99 yards with a pick; Tre Roberson completed only 3-of-8 for 23 yards. – Steve Hull. The Illinois wideout grabbed eight passes for 105 yards and a score. He had nine catches for 224 yards and two scores the week before. – OSU in the first quarter. No team starts faster, as OSU’s 192 first-quarter points lead all of college football. – Jeremy Langford. The Michigan State back has rushed for 100 yards in six games in a row, running for 721 yards in that span. He had a career-high 151 today with three touchdowns. – Nebraska offense. Yes, it had 392 yards—the most Michigan State has allowed all season. But there also were four turnovers. (A fifth came on a muffed punt.) – Indiana offense. This prolific attack was muted by Wisconsin, notching just three points. IU entered the game No. 2 in the Big Ten in total offense, averaging 527 yards. But the Hoosiers had just 224 vs. the Badgers. And IU was held scoreless in just three quarters all season; it matched that today. – Purdue ground game. It continues to struggle mightily, running 20 times for 38 yards (1.9 ypc). Purdue had one yard rushing at halftime. The attack was sloppy overall, committing three turnovers (two fumbles and a pick). – Indiana defense. It yielded seven runs of 30 or more yards vs. Wisconsin. – Northwestern offense. Just one touchdown in four quarters and three OT sessions? And only 322 yards? Not gonna cut it. – Tommy Armstrong, Jr. The Nebraska redshirt freshman showed his youth, hitting just 9-of-21 passes for 143 yards with two TDs and a pick. – Northwestern. That’s six losses in a row for NU after a 4-0 start. One more defeat, and the Wildcats can forget about playing in a bowl. During the rough patch, Northwestern has lost twice in overtime (Iowa and Michigan), on a Hail Mary (Nebraska) and by three points (Minnesota). – Illinois in Big Ten play. The Fighting Illini now have lost 20 conference games in a row. That’s the second-longest skein in league history. – Indiana bowl hopes. They hang in the balance, as the Hoosiers now must win at Ohio State and vs. Purdue to get to six wins. SNEAK PEEK AHEAD It’s a rare full week of action with all 12 teams playing. But, honestly, there aren’t any big-time games. Wisconsin’s game at Minnesota in the battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe is the most interesting. The Badgers have won five in a row; the Gophers have won four in a row and still harbor Legends Division title hopes. Michigan State will try to stay perfect in Big Ten play at Northwestern in a potential trapdoor game. Ohio State should get win No. 23 in a row when Indiana visits. Illinois is at Purdue, as both teams are desperate for a victory. Illinois has lost six in a row; Purdue has lost eight in a row. |About Tom Dienhart||BTN.com senior writer Tom Dienhart is a veteran sports journalist who covers Big Ten football and men’s basketball for BTN.com and BTN TV.

New Zealand Sails Within One Race Of The America's Cup Emirates Team New Zealand is within a single race of snatching the America's Cup from defenders Oracle Team USA, as the two giant catamarans square off in the waters off San Francisco for a 12th time. The Kiwi boat edged out the Americans in Race 11 earlier on Wednesday, continuing an almost unbroken winning streak since the match races began. Team Oracle, backed by software billionaire Larry Ellison, needs to win eight races in a row to hold on to the Auld Mug, as yachting's oldest and most prestigious trophy is known. Racing was canceled on Tuesday because of strong winds, but conditions on Wednesday were better for the delicate 72-foot vessels, which sport hard wings instead of traditional sails and use foils to lift their dual hulls out of the water. The boats, with a crew of 11, can achieve breathtaking speeds of 44 knots (50 mph). Member station KQED in San Francisco has a good description of how the catamarans seemingly defy the laws of physics by going so fast. The teams have also been using supercomputers to model subtle changes to the boats that have tweaked even more speed from them on the course. "New Zealand dominated matches between the two teams in the first week of the America's Cup finals on San Francisco Bay, then lost momentum over the weekend when a vastly improved Oracle won its second and third matches, raising hopes of a last-minute comeback. Oracle, which lost six of the first seven races in the series, became far more competitive after making changes to its twin-hulled AC72 and has [been] greatly improving its upwind tacking." The America's Cup, founded in 1851, began as a challenge between a vessel affiliated with England's Royal Yacht Squadron and the schooner America. America won the race handily, and the U.S. defended the trophy for the next 132 years, until Australia II became the first-ever challenger to win the race. Since then, it's been won by New Zealand and a syndicate from landlocked Switzerland. Update At 6:15 p.m. ET. Race 12 Postponed Until Thursday: KQED reports that the second race scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed because the wind had picked up beyond the 20-knot limit, "so they're done for the day."

Foreclosures have hit their lowest level in years, yet many cities report they are still struggling with the blight of "zombie foreclosures." RealtyTrac reported Thursday that foreclosure filings fell 27% year-over-year in February to a new seven-year low, indicating that the pace of filings have returned to normal levels since the foreclosure crisis. However, lingering problems loom. Vacated by the owner and left unattended, nearly 152,000 "zombie foreclosures" are weighing on home values in states like Florida, Illinois and New York, RealtyTrac said. That's roughly 21% of all homes in the foreclosure process. On average, these homes have been going through the foreclosure process for 1,031 days -- or nearly three years. "The biggest threat from foreclosures going forward is properties that have been lingering in the foreclosure process for years, many of them vacant with neither the distressed homeowners nor the foreclosing lenders staking responsibility for maintenance and upkeep of the homes," said Daren Blomquist, RealtyTrac's spokesman. In some cities, every one in three foreclosed homes has been vacated, according to Blomquist. "That drags down home values in the surrounding neighborhood and contributes to a climate of uncertainty in local housing markets," he said. In Rust-Belt cities like Cleveland and Detroit, many of the zombie foreclosures are old homes in poor condition that would cost more to rehab than they would be worth and will likely be razed. Cleveland has already knocked down more than 1,000 vacant homes. Las Vegas and other Sun-Belt cities also have a high percentage of vacant foreclosed homes. However, these homes tend to be newer and in much better shape and more likely to be bought by real estate investors, said Blomquist. Overall, the foreclosure picture will likely continue to improve: Foreclosure starts -- when lenders begin the proceedings to take possession of the homes -- have fallen to their lowest level since late 2005. That should translate into fewer bank repossessions down the road since about half of all starts end in evictions of borrowers.

Keeping the Streets of America's Snowiest City Clean There are places nationwide that get more snow, but among cities with populations greater than 100,000, Syracuse's snowfall is supreme. On March 30, 1992, after Syracuse, N.Y., had seen record snowfall in excess of 162.5 inches for the 1991-1992 winter season, the Syracuse Common Council unanimously approved the following resolution: "Be it resolved, on behalf of the snow-weary citizens of the city of Syracuse, any further snowfall is expressly outlawed in the city of Syracuse until December 24, 1992." Though this resolution gave no power against the weather, as two more inches of snow fell on the city two days later, it did provide humor that helped residents make it to spring. The next winter was the snowiest ever -- 192.2 inches of the white stuff blanketed the town. There are places nationwide that get more snow, but among America's cities with populations greater than 100,000, Syracuse's snowfall is supreme. Yes, there are years when Buffalo and Rochester do better, but if you want to bet on it, put your money on Syracuse. An average year finds total accumulation of 115.6 inches covering this city, which is 25.6 square miles and home to approximately 150,000 residents. In good economic times and bad, snow is a fact of life for central New Yorkers. If the snow is not moved off the streets -- and fast -- life would come to a halt here. How do they do it? They push it aside with plows, cart it away with dump trucks and melt it with salt -- just like they've been doing for 100 years. And when necessary, they do it around the clock every day. The only place you'll see things done a bit differently is at Syracuse Hancock International Airport. There, due to Federal Aviation Administration regulations, salt is forbidden on the runways. To keep from breaking the lights imbedded in the tarmac, small wheels mounted under the plows keep those plows just off the ground. The airport also has giant sweepers and snow blowers, which wouldn't work on city streets. Let's face it, if you need to move a lot of snow, you'll need a lot of good equipment. But you'll also need a lot of hearty people who are willing to go out there and get it done. Syracuse, thank goodness, has both. Join the Discussion After you comment, click Post.

Wednesday, January 8, 2014 Bishop England pushed Battery Creek to the brink Tuesday on Daniel Island but came up short with first place in Region VI on the line. Facing a 20-point deficit in the waning minutes of the end of the third quarter, the Bishops flipped a switch and trapped with a full-court press the Dolphins couldn't solve. Back-to-back threes from B.J. Grevey helped Bishop England (6-6, 2-1) close the quarter with eight unanswered points. The run boiled over into the fourth quarter, growing into a 19-4 rally through the first six minutes. Holding on to a seven-point lead with two minutes to play, Battery Creek missed the front-end of three straight one-and-ones. Bishop England couldn't convert on any at the other end, letting Battery Creek escape with a 66-62 win. The loss is the Bishops' first in-conference and gives the Dolphins a one-game lead in Region VI. “When you lose by four points like that, you can look back and see all sorts of ways we could have found those two baskets at the end,” Bishop England head coach Bryan Grevey said. “But we fell behind big in the first half and, looking back, if we play better in that first quarter, we probably win the game.” The Bishops were outscored 17-9 in the first quarter. Battery Creek junior center Eric Freeman had his way in the paint most of the night, scoring six in the first quarter and adding eight in the second on his way to a game-high 27 points. Freeman scored seven in the third until the Bishops lured the big man into a couple quick fouls and turned up the pressure on the Dolphins' backcourt. “He's a big, strong kid with great low-post moves,” Grevey said. “He made some great moves tonight but in the second half I thought we did a much better job on, not only him, but their whole team. “We just became more aggressive. We attacked the ball better. Instead of being passive, we stepped up the intensity and were able to create some turnovers and easy scores. We really did a good job of coming back but by then we already had dug ourselves too big of a hole.” The Bishops finished with 13 steals but gave away 28 turnovers. Dillon Corbett led Bishop England with 16 points and five rebounds. Grevey scored 11 points on 3-of-6 shooting from three, while Taylor Howell added seven points and five steals, and Griffin Herbet scored 10. Battery Creek narrowly outrebounded Bishop England 21-17. Devontae Wilson scored 14 points and was the only Dolphin besides Freeman in double figures. Lady Bishops take control of Region VI Mary Harriet Moore and Michele Boykin combined for 47 points Tuesday to lead the Lady Bishops into first place in Region VI with a 67-43 home win over Battery Creek. Moore added 12 rebounds, seven blocks and six assists. It's the fourth straight double-double for the senior center and second straight with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds. Boykin finished with 10 steals for her second double-double of the season. Battery Creek opened the game on a 9-0 run, scoring seven points off Bishop England turnovers. It took nearly five minutes to find their first basket, but the Lady Bishops closed the first quarter with eight unanswered points to climb back into the game. Moore gave Bishop England (10-2, 3-0) its first lead midway through the second quarter. Battery Creek jumped back on top momentarily but Bishop England finished the half on a 9-0 run and never looked back. The Lady Bishops came away with 24 steals and won on the board 40-31. Daisja Cannon led Battery Creek with 23 points. Erin Rose turned in six points for Bishop England, and Anna Penninger added five assists and four rebounds. Follow @fjmansfield //

The state of the Sheboygan County Humane Society is ... You fill in the blank. It depends on who you talk to, but whatever its condition one thing is certain - dysfunction is part of the equation. The Humane Society has a director charged with a felony and a misdemeanor for allegedly obtaining prescription drugs by fraud. She is accused of using the name of the agency's chief veterinarian to obtain the drugs. The vet is suspended for his handling of a dog fight at the shelter, although he claims his suspension by the board of directors is retaliation for reporting to authorities the director's drug offense. The vet is convinced the director is hoarding anonymous donations by not making them available for the good of the animal shelter the Humane Society operates. Such are the days in the life of the Sheboygan County Humane Society. The hundreds of dogs and cats the shelter takes in, of course, are blissfully unaware of the soap opera playing around them. They continue to need food, shelter and the prospect of being placed in permanent homes. Because veterinarian Frederick Lord is not around, the shelter is using private vets to provide care for the animals at a higher cost. All of this has apparently resulted in a drop in donations to the shelter, although board of directors President Sher Quasius denies that and said the shelter is "doing great." The financial truth probably lies somewhere between Lord's gloomy outlook and the rosy one proffered by Quasius. Whatever the case, the community should concentrate on the animals, just as the rank-and-file shelter employees do. It is difficult to work in an environment that fosters distrust and suspicion, but it appears that care of the animals continues to take place despite the circumstances surrounding them. We hope that is the case, although it is difficult to obtain firm and convincing information from anyone involved at the shelter in its current state. The public cannot help but be influenced by the developments there, but we urge people to continue donating to the shelter for the sake of the animals. That is, after all, the shelter's mission and one they continue to take seriously. We don't know how events will play out, but we hope it will be to the advantage of the animals housed at the shelter.

Ross Levinsohn, the man Marissa Mayer outflanked for the job, is also absent, leaving CFO Tim Morse to offer little in the way of guidance Yahoo talked up its second quarter earnings on a call with investors and analysts Tuesday without the help of newly minted CEO Marissa Mayer. Her absence robbed the presentation of sizzle, something that the battered technology company has been giving off its fair share of over the past 24 hours — first with the surprise appointment of Mayer, a top executive at rival Google, and then with the news that she is pregnant. Also missing from the confab was Ross Levinsohn, the company's interim CEO whose status at Yahoo remains up in the air now that he has been passed over for the top spot. That left CFO Tim Morse to essentially spout off bromides for nearly an hour, conveying generic statements about what Mayer's selection meant to the troubled portal without offering much of a peek under the hood at plans to restore its former luster. "Suffice it to say that everyone at Yahoo is incredibly energized," Morse said, before warning analysts that he could not offer much in the way of guidance. "Marissa was named in the last 24 hours… she needs time to get in, get acclimated and review the business," he explained. And what a business she has inherited. Yahoo! earnings slid 4.4 percent from a year ago to $226.6 million, or 18 cents a share. Revenue dipped just slightly to $1.22 billion, down from $1.23 billion in the same period last year. The results were something of a mixed bag, with shares of Yahoo! down 0.29 percent in after hours trading to $15.60. On the positive side of the ledger, Yahoo did resolve a patent dispute with Facebook last quarter and agreed to sell a big part of its stake in Alibaba back to the Chinese technology company for $7.1 billion. Plus, it now at long last may enjoy some stability in its leadership, after a tumultuous run that unsettled shareholders and damaged morale among employees. Mayer is the company's third CEO in less than a year. She replaces Scott Thompson, who stepped down in May after it was revealed that he lied about his academic resume. He had stepped in for Carol Bartz, a salty executive who was ousted because of the company's poor performance. Morse did assure analysts that though Mayer was still getting her feet wet, she understood the need to keep lines of communication open with the investing cognoscenti. "She is very mindful of the importance of the investor community, and I'm sure that you'll be hearing from her soon," Morse said.

Ah, the sight of little old ladies doing things you don't expect little old ladies to do. It's jarring, sure, and can maybe even have a political impact, which is why the so-called Granny Peace Brigade gathered for a rally — and chorus line, of course — in a West Village church yesterday afternoon. Retired 75-year-old jingle writer Joan Wile belted out an antiwar song she'd written, calling on grannies of the world to "get off your duffs, we gotta get Bush!" Carol Husten, also 75 and dressed in a white wig with fake pearls bigger than golf balls, impersonated Barbara Bush, whom she dubbed "the power behind the Bush dynasty." And a chorus line of the so-called Granny Jailbirds, about half a dozen from the eighteen arrested October 2005 for sitting in at a Times Square military recruitment center and acquitted this year, joined voices in a satiric anthem, lustily singing, "There's no business like war business," and pointing their canes like semi-automatic weapons at an enthusiastic crowd of about 100 mostly elderly peaceniks. Their venue was the community center at the Episcopal Church of St. Luke in the Fields on Hudson Street. The antiwar theatrics were billed as a Christmas Spectacular of the New York–based Granny Peace Brigade Cabaret and included Broadway actress Vinie Burrows delivering a dramatic monologue. Hugh Bruce, co-chair of the church's Peace and Justice Committee and a Vietnam vet, said he had invited the grannies to perform as a public service. Wile, a grandmother of five, later told a reporter that members of her peripatetic group would be traveling to Washington in January for a "Descent on the Senate" and would try to visit Hillary Clinton. But she added that the junior senator from New York "is a great disappointment to us in the antiwar movement." There was better news, at least, on Friday, when charges were dropped against a group of Philadelphia grannies who staged a recruitment-center sit-in in June. —Mary Reinholz

ST. LOUIS -- The Blue Jays conducted some minor housecleaning yesterday when utility infielder Frank Menechino and backup catcher Ken Huckaby elected free agency after declining assignments to triple-A Syracuse. Menechino, though, may be back. "We like Frank and we'll continue to talk to him," Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi said yesterday. However, Menechino, 34, who hit .216 in 70 games this season, is Plan B. "What we're looking for is a super utility guy ... someone who can bounce around," Ricciardi said. With Huckaby gone the Jays will be counting on rookie Guillermo Quirroz to be Gregg Zaun's backup. "That's the least of our problems," Ricciardi said. In other moves, the Jays outrighted pitcher Jason Arnold and infielder Raul Tablado to Syracuse and purchased the contracts of pitcher Ryan Houston and infielder Robert Cosby. The Jays now have 37 players on their 40-man roster.

We've been to Bermuda 5 times - twice cruising, most recently in July on Celebrity. Bermuda is a beautiful island with very friendly people. I know you will enjoy it. When we sailed RCCL a couple of years ago to Bermuda, we docked at the Naval Dockyards for a couple of days and in Hamilton for a couple of days. Do check out the Naval Museum when you're at the Dockyards. The Commissioner's House sits up on a bluff overlooking the sound and contains many interesting exhibits. When you're docked in Hamilton, you're right downtown - you can step off the ship and walk across the street to shops and restaurants. St. Georges is a neat little town at the opposite end of the island from the Naval Dockyards. You can get a three day bus pass which gives you unlimited rides on the buses as well as the ferries. It was about $25 per person and is the best deal. Taxis are expensive and the scooters dangerous. Be prepared. Bermuda is not cheap! I'd suggest you take all you meals on the ship. We had lunch at a tavern in St. Geroges and two ham sandwiches and iced teas cost almost $35. That said, however, Bermuda is one of our favorite vacation spots, and the Grandeur is a beautiful ship. You're sure to have a great time!

Well, at least, a new governor sure won't hurt the Pens chances of gettting a new arena. Not directly, but still possibly. The key is that if Lynn gets on board with the IOC's plan, that he can pressure Rendell before a single vote is cast. Even if the election itself is too late to make the difference, the way that politicians use the press might be of benefit. If Lynn's campaign sees something that can gain them votes, they will hopefully make it an issue early on. I wrote to Lynn to let him know what I thought of Rendell and his position on the issues, and I know some others have, as well. It may help, it may not, but it can't hurt.

This is so far beyond just stealing your guy's favorite tee (and maybe a jacket that doesn't need a "Boyfriend Fit" label to achieve the same effect). Nope, you're about to peep some looks that are unisex clothing at its most cool , and yes, chic. A fur collared jacket fit for a bro or a babe makes the Assembly fall '12 lookbook genius in its ability to style box sexes in an equally appealing fashion. While you won't spot the guys in Assembly's waist-tied shirt dresses and dreamy cream-colored pants suits, the fellas do hold their own in slim-fit trousers and upgraded hoodies and sweatshirts. A teamup between the New York boutique's owner, Greg Armas, and Claire Lampert , the collection shows hints of the latter's fresh and utilitarian flair—no wonder as she used to design for Bodkin. This time around we think Lampert creates an equal playing field for the men and women, in a collection that both unifies and flatters. Intrigued yet? Peruse the whole lookbook and let us know which set of ensembles won this round in the battle of the sexes. Photo: Courtesy of Assembly

Zakk Wylde & Black Label Society I Never Dreamed Lyrics Last updated: 06/12/2010 12:00:00 PM My father told me always be strong son, Don’t you ever cry. You find the pretty girls and then you love them, Then you say goodbye. I never dreamed that you would leave me, But now you’re gone (gone, gone). I never dreamed that I would miss you. Woman won’t you come back home, I never dreamed that you could hurt me, And leave me blue. I’ve had a thousand maybe more women, But never one like you. I never dreamed that I could feel so empty But now I’m down, down, down I never dreamed that I would beg you, Woman I need you now (I need you now) It seems to me that I took your love for granted, Feels to me that this time I was wrong (so wrong). Oh lord, now I feel so lonely, yeah Woman, won’t you come back home. I Tried to do what my father taught me, But I think he knew. Someday that I would find one woman like you. I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord. That two could be one. I never knew about sweet love lord, Woman won’t you come back home (back home).

While there are still questions about just what kind of devices Apple will be displaying at next week's event, there are still a few other rumors to address. Though a new, smaller connection makes sense in conjunction with all the other specification rumors about the iPhone 5, there was still the curious question of adapters for existing devices. According to the most recent report, there will be adapters made for the new smaller dock connector. However, it appears that Apple will be the only company making them. No third-party cables or adapters for Apple's new iDevices? iLounge compared this latest report to earlier suggestions that Apple was not sharing specifications for dock connector accessories, or the cables themselves. Sources point to the new adapters costing $10 each, or $29 for three, and replacement cables running $19 a piece. By being the sole provider of the adapters, it's believed Apple will make nearly $100 million if early estimates of selling through 10 million adapters by the end of the year are true. According to iLounge, several developers are concerned Apple will have a stranglehold on the cable and adapter market, the very same way they do with their MagSafe connectors. Whatever the case may be, we won't have to wonder what Apple's plans are for much longer, as the company's plans will be unveiled in one week. Article continues below

Sacred valley of the Inca Trip Start Dec 31, 2011 14Trip End Jan 17, 2012 Map your own trip! Show trip route Where I stayed This morning we were up at 6:30 to head out to Ollantaytambo. The Inca retreated to this place when the Spanish took Cusco and is one of the only places where the I,nca managed to defeat the Spanish in battle. The site served mainly for religious purposes. It's a very cool place and we climbed up many many stairs but the view was well worth it! Really enjoyed that stop. The next stop was right up the gnomes alley: we went to a chicheria to learn how the locals make corn beer and try some of course! While we were there we also played a 'frog game' where you try and toss coins into a frogs mouth and other holes to score points. We tried a traditional corn beer and one that they mixed with wild strawberries as well. Not bad! From there we stopped at a local school to meet the children and the teacher as well as bring along some pens and pencils and other supplies. A bit of the money we paid for this trip goes to support local schools including the one we visited. While we were there we also taught the kids the hokey pokey which they enjoyed. They also wanted to keep the gnomes! (The gnomes have been a great hit with the tour group and the locals. Some of the kids selling crafts even wanted to trade for them.) From the school we stopped at a local church and then we went to a local market to buy fruit for our lunch. It was a pretty large market selling all sorts of things: corn (hundreds of types), potatoes, fruits, veggies, various meats (including pig snout). It was very fascinating and had a true local flavor-not touristy. From the market we boarded little 3 wheeled motorcycle taxis to go for lunch with a local family. The family taught us how to make Peruvian chile rellenos and boy was it good! Its made with a peas, carrots, raisins, a little queso (and other things we can no longer remember). We also had quinua soup, a squash dish, corn, potatoes, and cuy (guinea pig - they dont taste bad but there is definately not a lot on them). It was all excellent and again we are very full. Right now we are relaxing and repacking our bags for the trip to Machu Picchu where we only take an overnight bag and leave the main luggage since we are taking a train and there isnt enough room for all our crap. Tonight we are having a talk about mysticism and then going out to dinner for Peruvian rotisserie chicken. Internet service has been a bit sketchy but we are hoping to have more pics soon (dont worry we only have taken about 500 pics each thus far:))

Stokes and his crews totaled 123 points in 19 races (photo courtesy DSPics.com). A sixth-place finish among 20 schools at the four-division Truxtun Umstead intersectional regatta highlighted three weekend events for the Harvard sailing team. The Crimson also placed third of 11 teams at Central Series three and 15th at the St. Mary’s Women’s Intersectional. John Stokes skippered the Crimson to second place in the 63rd annual Umstead regatta, hosted by Navy. He teamed up with Meghan Wareham for Saturday’s 10 races and with Quincy Bock for nine more races Sunday. Stokes posted four top-four finishes each day, winning a pair of competitions Sunday. Meanwhile, in the A division, Alan Palmer sailed alongside Bock on Day 1 and Wareham on Day 2, finishing sixth in the division with eight top-five finishes and one victory. The C and D divisions were both singlehanded competitions. Tedd Himler placed fourth, with a win and seven top-three. showings in the C division. Colin Santangelo took 13th place in the D division. The Crimson totaled 621 points, 51 fewer than seventh-place College of Charleston and 34 points out of the top five. Brown won with 497. Four freshmen sailed for Harvard in the Central Series at Boston College. Sam Millham and Jin Zang totaled just 42 points to take third place in the B division, while Ryan Byrne and Sarah McCuskee won twice on the way to fourth place in the A division. Emily Lambert and Alma Lafler led the Crimson at St. Mary’s, placing 14th in the A division. Sailgroove video from the Truxtun Umstead regatta is available below.

Wednesday, March 31, 2010 from Satheesh S email@example.com to "Tusar N. Mohapatra" firstname.lastname@example.org date 31 March 2010 14:53 subjectRe: Drawing one’s own conclusions and imposing them on others: the case of one Mr. RYD. Thank you for your reply and for forwarding other comments. As I am unsure about the procedure for simply posting messages directly on your blog, I am sending this message to you. You may of course post this message on your SEOF blog at your own discretion and as a continued expression of honest opinions. Regarding the editing of the Savitri, we are all of course likely and entitled to have our personal opinions regarding a variety of issues and it may also be that we may and may not agree with each others' opinions. Mr. Jithendra Sharma states that he prefers that “It will be good to have the first edition of ‘Savitri’ exactly as it was published.” But one would therefore wonder what about typographical errors such as in the line “Each part in us desires itsb asolute”… found in the 1950 edition? Is it “good” to preserve such blatant and disturbing errors in the text of all future editions or reprints? Are these typographical errors more “sacred” according to Mr. RYD than the corrected text “Each part in us desires its absolute”… published in the subsequent editions? Mr. Hugh Highins might also opine "according to his own sensibilities", which are evidently subjective and personal, that the 1993 edition of the Savitri could be improved. He may also go a step further and express his personal wish of his need for what he calls a “critical edition” prepared by what he calls “impartial scholars”. But one would wonder, how does Mr. Hugh Higins define or judge what is a “critical edition” and who are “impartial scholars”? Does he have names in mind, excluding his own if he is impartial, that are more qualified, enlightened, critical and impartial than Mr. Nirodhbaran and Mr. Amal Kiran and the several others involved in the editing of the Savitri, including those from the SA Ashram management? And moreover, why should someone like Mr. Hugh Highins be taken seriously by anyone and particularly the SA Ashram management or the editors of the Savitri when he precipitates to express his wishes and blurt out his opinion while admitting that he has not bothered to read the “Supplement to the Revised Edition of Savitri” which might very well contain the answer to all his queries and might also relieve him forever from the apparent disorder in his throat that makes him feel like things are being shoved down it? Maybe, some others might prefer footnotes and annotations to satisfy their restless and doubting minds. Whereas those who trust the editors as well as the SA Ashram management, might find such footnotes clumsy and disturbing, unnecessarily making the edition more voluminous and tedious to read and handle; they may simply be happy with and trust whatever is decided by the SA Ashram management and the editors that they appoint. And some others still, might even go one step further and opine that the 'look and feel' (brown oxidized paper, colour and quality of ink used, type of binding, etc.,) of all future editions of the Savitri should be exactly like the 1950-51 editions. And somebody else might want future editions of the Savitri to be printed on golden-pink sheets of paper because it evokes the mantric mood of the poem better. Thus, I cannot stop from wondering in dismay whether some of those readers of the Savitri who are busy criticizing one aspect or the other of the various editions seriously believe that it is really important that the authorities of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram should publish customized and personalized editions of the Savitri to fulfill the whims and fancies of each and every reader? Where does and will such a folly end? Is such a folly and obsessive quest for the fulfillment of one’s personal wishes driven by any measure of rationality? Or is it plainly and clearly driven by the series of unfulfilled personal agendas of a few that seem to converge in the same direction of criticism and attacks? Because, isn't it only reasonable and logical that one should be comfortable reading ANY of the published versions of the Savitri knowing that the publishers, editors, typesetters, printers, proof-readers, etc., of the SA Ashram, which is the only unquestionable, trustworthy and legitimate publisher of the Savitri, have all along done what was humanly possible to them to come out with their best attempt to reproduce the most authentic, perfect and authoritative version of the Savitri? I do not think that anybody denies the fact that there may be scope for improvement in the last (1993) edition of the Savitri. Who knows, there may be unintentional human errors even in the 1993 edition of Savitri. That is possible, just as there were unintentional human errors in the 1950-51 and 1954 and 1970 editions. But from that did the Sri Aurobindo Ashram management (unlike Mr. RYD) ever abuse those responsible for the earlier editions? Not that I know of, and that, according to me is decent behaviour - knowing that unintentional human errors are always possible. But I find it atrocious that Mr. RYD should suggest that the SA Ashram management and Mr. Nirodhbaran and Mr. Amal Kiran have knowingly allowed the introduction of “errors” in Savitri for their own pleasure or did so due to a lack of interest, commitment, vision, enlightenment and now as some others suggest even impartiality and a lack of critical sense. This is ridiculous, absurd and leaning towards the perverse. So if people like Mr. RYD think that the way of going about the business of editing of the Savitri is to rake up controversies (or in the name of freedom of speech make sarcastic comments that the SA Ashram’s editors shove their decisions down people’s throats or as I have also learnt drag the SA Ashram authorities to court) in order to try to impose their preferences or try to stamp their self-declared superiority on others, as though their judgment, understanding, vision, enlightenment, partiality, etc., is better than that of others, then it is more than obvious that this doesn’t help the cause and only distracts from the central issues of the Savitri and preservation of Sri Aurobindo's works. But, whether one agrees or not with Mr. RYD, or Mr. Jithendra Sharma, or Mr. Hugh Highins, or the editors of the Savitri or the SA Ashram management, or myself is not the point. The point is that when someone like Mr. RYD draws his own conclusions and tries to impose them on others, by using sly means that I believe are unworthy of a long-serving member of an institution such as the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, let alone that of a decent human being, and by publicly insinuating that respectable people, members and fellow-seekers such as Mr. Nirodhbaran and Mr. Amal Kiran were "morons" (and doing so by misusing "The Mother's" quotes out of context), and commenting on what he considers the un-enlightened management of the SA Ashram and editing of the Savitri, and by making numerous other slanderous personal attacks publicly, and trying at all costs to stamp his self-declared superiority over others, then such actions warrant an honest action against him. Mr. RYD may want to believe that his levels of intuitive-perception, enlightenment, aspiration, realization, devotion, commitment, etc., etc., are superior to those of the members of the community he volunteered to join, and I have no problems with that. But if he does so publicly and at the expense of those people and things that matter to me and many others like me, he should then not be surprised that an honest appraisal of his behaviour and opinions is "hurled" at him. Lastly, I am quite certain that we will all agree, that those whose spiritual development and growth has attained levels that are sufficiently elevated to absorb that which is contained in Sri Aurobindo's 'Savitri', will not fuss, particularly publicly and slanderously, about the small number of inevitable human errors that may find their way into any printed material. And those who prefer laying emphasis on the inevitable short-comings and human errors of others, are evidently more preoccupied about themselves, their Egos and their opinions rather than with the absorption of what is contained in works such as the Savitri. So if people like Mr. RYD enjoy the public parading of their self-declared superiority, let them then also demonstrate, with actions that match their words, to which of these two categories they would prefer belonging.

|By PR Newswire|| |November 15, 2012 12:15 PM EST|| DETROIT, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- - Chrysler Group Chairman and CEO makes announcement joined by Detroit Mayor - Mack I to receive $198 million to add production of fuel-efficient Pentastar engine; will create up to 250 new jobs - Investing additional $40 million in Trenton North to install flexible assembly line to boost production of fuel-efficient engines - Adding 1,000 new jobs on third crew at Warren Truck in March 2013 - Announcement brings total U.S. investment to nearly $4.75 billion since June 2009 - Company has added nearly 6,000 hourly jobs since June 2009 - Chrysler Group employees deliver Thanksgiving trimmings to food banks in plant cities across the country, including Oakland, Macomb and Wayne Counties Chrysler Group LLC announced today that it will invest nearly $240 million to increase engine capacity and add about 1,250 new jobs at several Michigan facilities, reaffirming the Company's commitment to growing its operations in southeast Michigan. Chrysler Group Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that the Company would make investments and add jobs at the following local plants: - Mack I Engine Plant: $198 million to produce the award-winning Pentastar (V-6) engine - Mack I Engine Plant: adding up to 250 new jobs at Mack I, subject to market conditions - Trenton North Engine Plant: investing an additional $40 million to add a flexible production line that can run both the Pentastar engine and the Tigershark (I-4) engine - Warren Truck Assembly Plant: adding 1,000 new jobs on a third crew in March 2013 to produce the 2013 Ram 1500 Marchionne, along with Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, other local officials and UAW Vice President General Holiefield, joined employees to celebrate the news at an event at the Mack I Engine Plant. "Today is another important milestone in living up to the commitment we made more than three and a half years ago to our employees, this city, this region and our country to transform this company," said Marchionne. "All of these investments are the direct result of a lot of people who have battled courageously to bring Chrysler back to a state of growth. It is our contribution toward helping southeastern Michigan get back on its feet." "I want to thank Mayor Bing and all the other state and local officials who worked with us to make these investments possible. Together, and with the support of our UAW partners, we are committed to building something that will have a long lasting, direct impact on this community," said Marchionne. With this announcement, Chrysler Group's investments in its U.S. facilities increase to nearly $4.75 billion since June 2009. In the same time frame, the Company has added nearly 6,000 hourly jobs. "These new investments and new jobs are a testament to the determination we all had – management, labor and our workforce – to making the best of the second chance we were given in 2009," said General Holiefield, Vice President and Director of the UAW Chrysler Department. "In partnership with the UAW, Chrysler Group is helping grow good paying manufacturing jobs and securing the future manufacturing base in this country." At the same time that the Company was making investment and jobs announcements today, Chrysler Group employees in plant cities across the country were delivering food to local food banks to help drive out hunger this holiday season. Additionally, the Company's philanthropic arm, The Chrysler Foundation, donated more than 1,500 frozen turkeys to the food banks. This is the second year that the Company has held an enterprise-wide food drive. Last year, Chrysler Group's donations helped feed more than 12,000 people across Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Washington, D.C. These announcements reaffirm Chrysler Group's commitment to Southeast Michigan. Previously, Chrysler Group announced that it was reopening the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant for production of the SRT Viper; adding 1,100 jobs on a third crew at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant (Detroit), which began Oct. 29; and moving employees to a downtown Detroit office. About the Investments Mack I, which currently builds the 4.7-liter V-8 for the Ram 1500, will begin producing Pentastar engines in early 2014. When the 4.7-liter engine phases out in the first quarter of 2013, Mack I will begin producing crankshafts that will be shipped to the Trenton Engine Plant to supplement its machining capacity, followed by production of cylinder heads and cylinder blocks. Once the plant reaches full capacity, the plant will add up to 250 new jobs, subject to market conditions. The $40 million investment at Trenton North for installation of a flexible production line will give the Company the ability to adjust capacity of either the Pentastar or the Tigershark engine, currently built at the Dundee Engine Plant, to meet market demand. This investment is in addition to the $114 million investment and creation of 268 new jobs previously announced in June to repurpose about one-fifth, or nearly 400,000 square-feet, of Trenton North for production of core components for the Pentastar engine produced at its sister plant, Trenton South. Warren Truck began production of the 2013 Ram 1500 in September. It will become the third facility in the last year to add a third crew, joining the Belvidere, Ill., and Jefferson North (Detroit) Assembly Plants. The Windsor Assembly Plant has been running three shifts since 1993.

The riding the last few days has been fantastic. It's been cool in the mornings (30Fs) and then warm in the afternoons (50Fs). I’ve been mainly riding my WR250R and SV650 with the Ural finally getting to rest. Earlier this week I finally received my new camera. I ordered over a month ago. First, I had to wait for it to be replaced, and then I waited for the backorder. My new camera is a: Canon EOS Rebel T2i. It has been quite fun learning how to use it and I hope my overall picture quality will improve with a more capable camera. I also need to finish reading the inch thick manual! Here are a few shots I took this morning on the way in. For contrast, you can look at the same shots from Feb 10 here. No snow anymore, and not quite all green grass yet either. On the way home, I stopped on the river bluff just to the South of downtown St. Paul and captured these two shots, and the pic of my SV650 at the beginning. Click on any of the images for a full 18MP version. I’ve been spending a lot of time riding and trying to figure out my two cameras. I’ve easily put a few hundred miles on both the WR and the SV in the last ten days.

Can Android Challenge Embedded Linux? Is the Android OS morphing into a new form of embedded Linux? Android is a Linux OS derivative perched to make inroads beyond its growing user base in smartphones and tablets. Some auto makers are considering the potential for Android-connected communications systems in their vehicles. The Android OS is already available as an all-in-one desktop computer powered by System on a Chip circuitry. So how much potential is there for Android-powered gadgets to sprout in devices as the Internet of Things gathers steam? Some Android product developers have thrown down the gauntlet, at least philosophically, in a discussion of whether the Android OS can become the new embedded Linux. A panel of developers at last year's Android Builders Summit rejected that notion. Their reasoning: The litmus test is that Android must be used in classic embedded projects. Based on that qualification, Android fails, they concluded. That logic seems to agree with the premise that Google custom-built Android as a mobile operating system that comes with its own ecosystem, separate from the classic Linux ecosystem. "It is nice to think about Android being that one platform that is good for everything, but at the moment this seems unnecessary and unsuitable for Android," Tuong Huy Nguyen, a principal research analyst at Gartner Research, told LinuxInsider. Nevertheless, some Android application developers remain open to the idea that Android fits the task of embedded Linux functions, and they see potential for the Android OS to become an alternative to embedded Linux. Shut the Door The lack of support for an actual movement to build in an embedded nature for Android is significant. The Android Builders Summit is a technical summit for OEMs, their device manufacturers, integrators, custom builders, and the growing Android and Linux Kernel developer communities. It would seem counterproductive for efforts to rise outside of this quasi steering committee for Android development. The Android platform is expanding into an increasing number of industry segments in addition to smartphones and tablets. The Summit as an organization of Android developers recognizes that a need exists for the ecosystem of builders to collaborate on a common solution for existing limitations and desired features across all of these device categories. Not all Android app developers share the view of the Android Builders Summit regarding what it takes to be an embedded OS. Embedded versions of Android can be a very workable classification, in the view of Ron Munitz, CTO of Nubo Software. "Android is an embedded Linux distro simply because it has the Linux kernel. It has become more popular among all kinds of devices and already has the largest developer community and a huge ecosystem of apps," Munitz told LinuxInsider. Android not only is becoming the leading embedded Linux platform, but also is penetrating other categories, such as workstation OS, and even running on servers, he explained. In fact, Nubo is developing Android on a server. A Matter of Interpretation In a classic sense, qualifying as an embedded operating system entails meeting some rigid technical standards and the ability to serve multiple purposes. That has long been a forte of the Linux OS in embedded appliances. In a broader sense, multiple definitions of "embedded operating systems" exist today, noted Matthias Eckermann, senior product manager for enterprise server at Suse. What may be seen as an embedded OS with Android on a consumer device might not be considered an embedded OS in the enterprise space. "Embedded consumer devices would be Android on a television screen or Android as the user interface system for an automobile. These are some areas where embedded Android might have a place," Eckermann told LinuxInsider. Vendors and consumers like Android because they are looking for compatibility and accessibility across their devices. To be able to provide that, the OS would need to be flexible, noted Gartner's Nguyen. "When you look at single-purpose machines, consumers do not need that degree of flexibility with an ability to load applications," he said. It is that single-purpose ability that is so demanding for an embedded operating system in the enterprise. That is where the concept of embedded Android falls short. "With single-purpose and single-use devices, the suitable OS tends to be in the opposite direction," explained Nguyen. "Embedded Linux already provides that. It is very clean-cut and focused. At the moment, Android is not designed to do that. It has not been designed to do specific tasks on an embedded level." More Than One Embedded Type There are many different types of embedded operating systems. There are also different needs and uses for each type of embedded platform. "Many embedded OSes do not need to have apps, per se, and certainly do not need to have Android certification. So I think there will always be a need for a general purpose Linux embedded operating system," Al Gillen, program vice president for system software at IDC, told LinuxInsider. Think along the lines of robotics, machine control, vending machines and white box appliances, he suggested, where the ability to be Android certified/branded and capable of running generic Android apps would be of zero value. "In applications such as those, the app portfolio will likely have a total count of one, and it will be highly specific to operating the device it is embedded within," Gillen said. "If a given device intends to somehow compete in or function in the mobile device space, using an Android-compatible build becomes a lot more important and has tangible value, and may open up a portfolio of Android apps that have applicability to the device." A line should be drawn between the notion of true embedded Linux distros and adapting Android's solitary distro for embedded consumer functions, said Suse's Eckermann. He does not see Android going into enterprise areas involving integrated systems. "With flexibility, Android is one stack and one purpose. That is not the case with a full-fledged embedded Linux used for multiple purposes," said Eckermann. In areas of consumer orientation, Android has options, he noted. These involve cars, televisions, tablets and phones. On the other hand, there are many Linux use cases in which Android would not be suitable for embedded use. One example of Android not being up to speed is in the auto industry. Android will not be everywhere in cars, said Eckermann. Why? The embedded systems in cars have much different requirements than Android can produce. "From that perspective, we can say that most uses in cars beyond user interface will not be a good choice for Android. Even on the user interfaces, there are other embedded systems that will challenge the use of Android," he explained. Enterprise grade is something much different, noted Eckermann. Android is end-user ready, but as good as Android is, it lacks that enterprise-grade quality, he added. Another drawback to developing Android as an embedded OS is its lack of timely upgrades. At best, there are just one or two upgrades per year. That is a critical limitation for using embedded Android in the enterprise, Eckermann said. "It is very constrained. It gets one image rolled out. Linux is component-oriented on the updates," he pointed out. "With Android, the only updates you typically get are the ones for the apps you run on it."

Democrats' history of community organizing has made their current data-driven approach a seamless advance. One ripple effect from Barack Obama's reelection last night? A new focus on how Democrats and progressives are on the winning side of the data wars. From Nate Silver's prognostications to the Obama campaign's aggressive focus on information -- as described by Sasha Issenberg in The Victory Lab and by Time -- new attention is going to the work of data scientists. Here at The Atlantic, Alexis Madrigal has raised the question of whether Democratic superiority on the data front is just a function of this particular campaign, and something Republicans will be able to replicate in the near future. If they do, it won't be by copying the Obama model. The right just doesn't have the depth of professional experience in hands-on organizing that the left does, leaving Republicans without a critical framework to map their data onto. And that's why it's not going to be a simple correction for them to match what Democrats did Tuesday. On the Democratic-slash-progressive side of professional politics, there are people who have spent many years now refining a hands-on approach to reaching Americans for political advantage. Scores of young and semi-young progressives have spent their careers bouncing from campaigns to Congress to labor unions to Change.org to ideological consulting shops to Credo to party committees to Media Matters to advocacy groups to whatever the Progressive Change Campaign Committee is, honing their craft along the way. RootsCamp, an annual D.C. "unconference," pulls in hundreds of those folks, and has been doing so for the last seven years. They have an Organizer of the Year award. If the data-savvy organizer is a subculture in the world at large, it's one that has achieved mainstream status on the political left. RootsCamp is put on by the New Organizing Institute, which grew out of organized labor, which of course has deep Democratic roots in the United States. NOI has trained scores of progressives in modern campaign strategies and techniques, holding regular bootcamps in the art of political narrative and crafting killer emails and, yes, data optimization. "Our basic belief is simple," they group has said. "If people have the skills to engage others, the tools to build powerful campaigns, and a community of practice to help them learn and grow, they can win real change, make measurable improvements in people's lives, and restore faith in our government and our democracy." If you've gotten an email from a Democratic candidate or progressive group in the course of the 2012 election, there's a decent chance you've been exposed first-hand to the work of an NOI-trained progressive. The Analyst Institute, the outfit specializing in the science of voter turnout that Issenberg covers in his book, comes out of that same universe of progressive organizers. Going back further, the organizing strategy used by Jeremy Bird and others on the Obama campaign is rooted in the civil rights and social justice movements of the 1950s and 1960s. If the big advance made by the Obama campaign and its allies on the left has been better data crunching, that's only a technological refinement of an existing model. For generations, liberals have been working on ways to identify, target, and drag their fellow Americans to the polls -- but also to organize them to push for some of the very social changes ratified at the polls Tuesday. That's not to say that Republicans lack the raw materials for doing similar work. Churches, for one, turned their members out for George W. Bush. A group of younger and tech-minded conservatives have tried to prod the GOP to take technology seriously under the banner of Rebuild the Party. But the GOP's professional equivalents of the people who staffed the Obama campaign and the organizations supporting the campaign from the outside have not spent the last however-many years knocking on scores of doors, making endless phone calls, and learning how to persuade over Twitter in quite the same way. And when the phrase "community organizer" is a punchline to your party faithful, it's probably not a great sign for the prospects of using human-centric big data like the Obama campaign just did. One lesson to take away from this political big data moment is that people matter. Data is a better way of understanding who really makes up the American electorate than relying upon absurdities like Dick Morris's sudden post-election ephiphany that "this isn't your father's America." Taking data more seriously is decent advice for any campaign -- but it becomes particularly powerful when you match it to a capacity to know people as people, not numbers. Data-driven political organizing is a skill, and it takes a while to master. There's little evidence that you can simply apply big data to a presidential campaign and, voila, #winning. To do so would be a bit like expecting to elect a Green Party president without first claiming a single congressional seat.

Born in Fahan, County Donegal, Ireland. As a young adult he moved to London and in 1953 began singing professionally with his band, the Westernaires at the Galtymore Club, Cricklewood. Always a country music fan he started to write and release songs on his own Denver Records label and formed a band of his own, The Johnny McCauley Trio, which toured extensively in and around London. It was not long before his songs were being covered by a host of Irish singing stars. His blend of American country sounds with Irish based lyrics proved a winning combination. He wrote more than 80 songs, including Destination Donegal, Among The Wicklow Hills, Pretty Little Girl From Omagh and Four Country Roads, others include John Wayne and Barry McGuigan tribute songs. Artists ranging from Christy Moore to Daniel O'Donnell have recorded his songs, Daniel's first studio recording, My Donegal Shore was composed by Johnny, his songs continue to be recorded and performed by many singers around the world. Johnny died in London on 22 March 2012. - Biodata from Spotlight magazine, Vol. 2, Number 22, October 26, 1968 |This article about an Irish musician is a stub.
