SANDY, Utah (Friday, September 23, 2011) – Real Salt Lake (15-7-6, 51 pts.; T-2nd in West) will look to clinch a spot in the upcoming MLS Cup Playoffs and extend its MLS season-high five-match winning streak tomorrow, Saturday, September 24, when the Claret-and-Cobalt wrap-up a weeklong East Coast road trip in a clash against D.C. United (8-8-11, 35 pts.; 6th in East). Along with its quest for a fourth straight berth into MLS' postseason will be the chance for Real Salt Lake to eclipse last year's single-season win record of 15, which RSL evened with Wednesday night's 3-1 triumph at New York.
Tomorrow night's kickoff at RFK Stadium is set for 5:30 p.m. MT for a contest that will be televised live on KMYU 2.2 (Comcast 22 / Dish Network 12) and can be heard on ESPN 700 Sports (English) and Juan 1600-AM (Spanish).

RSL "Game Note" of the Match: Road Warriors Finding Form
The active three-game road winning streak matches the franchise high, set back in August, 2006 … Again, RSL has never won 4 consecutive road games, something it could do Saturday night at RFK …
Once the worst road team in the history of MLS, Real Salt Lake steps on the road when competition is fiercest, winning critical postseason matches in 2009 on the road and performing well away from home in hostile CONCACAF Champions League territory, earning away results in 21 of its last 32 road games dating back to May, 2010 in all competitions … This recent advent of road success places the squad's all-time MLS regular season road mark at 19-60-26 (.298; 97 GF / 172 GA) following the 105th road contest in League play this week at New York …
Since Kreis took over, RSL's MLS road mark is 15-36-21, with the four road wins in 2010 doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons … 13 games down (5-5-3, 18 pts), four games to go in 2011 … Starting back on Aug. 13 at Toronto, and factoring in the new Oct. 6 date north of the border in Vancouver, the Claret-and-Cobalt play 9 of its final 13 regular season contests – and 5 of the last 7 – away from the friendly confines of Rio Tinto Stadium …
RSL History v. D.C. United
The RSL / DCU all-time regular-season series has generally been dominated by the home team as the visiting side has only secured one road win the squads' 13-game history … While the Claret-and-Cobalt hold the advantage in overall meetings between the two sides at 5-4-4, RSL has never won in the Nation's Capital, posting a 0-3-3 all-time mark at RFK Stadium … Back on June 18, RSL and D.C. United played to a 1-1 draw at Rio Tinto Stadium thanks to a pair of penalty kicks from RSL's Fabián Espíndola and D.C. United's Charlie Davies … The match came a time when the Claret-and-Cobalt were short-handed as Will Johnson, Álvaro Saborío and Arturo Alvarez were all out of the line-up due to national team call-ups for 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup …

Urologic oncologists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat cancers of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. This includes treating prostate, penile, and testicular cancer in men and kidney and bladder cancer in women.
A urologic oncologist may be involved in finding out the type and extent of cancer. He or she may be involved in providing treatments such as chemotherapy.
After treatment, a urologic oncologist provides follow-up care. He or she watches the progress of a person who has had cancer. If the person's cancer returns, this doctor resumes care for him or her.
Urologic oncologists can be board-certified through the American Board of Urology. This group is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.

Hello, my name is Richard Roberts, Project Manager with GGAT based in Swansea. Assisted by my colleague Rachel Bowden, I am undertaking a project on behalf of Cadw investigating medieval ecclesiastical sites in southeast Wales.
We have so far created dossiers on the historical and archaeological background for the selected chapel and monastic sites, and have undertaken a desk-top analysis to identify those sites which are likely to retain significant remains. The use of aerial photographs is a key element of the project, and is already proving especially useful to identify the extent of monastic precincts.
At the moment we are preparing the ground for the fieldwork, identifying and contacting landowners. The fieldwork, a rapid descriptive and photographic walkover-survey, has been tailored to aid the assessment of the heritage resource with reference to aspects such as survival, condition and significance. It is hoped that recommendations made will enhance conservation and the long-term preservation of the best of the resource.

Difference between revisions of "Talk:Lens correction model"
(r = a sin (b*theta))
(No difference)
Revision as of 22:55, 8 July 2008
For (circular) fish eye lenses another way to model the lens (distortion) is: r = a sin (b*theta) where r is the distance from the center of the camera image to the point of interest, theta is the angle between the central axis of the fisheye lens and the line to the point of interest in the real image, a is a scale factor, in these cases to convert from angle in space to millimeters in the image plane, and b is the radial mapping parameter. (It should be noted that b effects a very strongly.) The theoretical fisheye map of r = a*theta is approached as b approaches zero. The perfect fish eye lens is F-Theta mapping so to say, while rectilinear lenses do f tan(theta) mapping.
I copied these ideas from: Fisheye lens designs and their relative performance by James "Jay" Kumler, Martin Bauer from Coastal Optical Systems and Internet Pictures Corporation.
They've estimated a and b for example for the Peleng as 23.8 and 0.34 which would imply if my computations are correct a=0,001691363 b=-0,051282569 c=0,000469245 and (1-(a+b+c))=1,049118709 in the Fish eye quartic distortion model. However given parameters of the sinus model above with r in millimeters from the sensor of the image, that can be easily renormalized to pixels on a cropped sensor.
The article cited discusses also "relative illumination" or vignetting as we speak. They have found this to be dependent on f-number, higher f-numbers producing greater uniformity, or less severe vignetting.

When you're on a roll, I think you should try not to deviate from the rolling streak. That is, of course, if the rolling is positive.
Me? I'm on a roll, thanks to JaNoWriMo, so I'm keeping on track. On the first of the month I began working on book three in a series I'm writing. I wrote book two in January, so the setting, characters and feel of the project is fresh. Hubby asked if I was going to take some time away from the series, but I figure I'm on a roll so I should keep at it.
The new book, called Change of Heart, is going well. The characters are developing nicely, and each have quirks and issues which make them unique. They support each other and for the most part get along pretty well. Still, one American in a sea of Londoners is going to find that there's more than societal issues to separate a cowboy from a peer. I have a feeling he's going to overcome his "disadvantages" and find his way to his lady's heart—but who can tell? Maybe this'll be the novel where no one ends up together! HA! You know I wouldn't do that!
Anyhow, back to my roll—ah, manuscript. I hope you're having a nice month. Anything rolling along in your world?

It will be difficult to look at my lovely leather gloves without conjuring up the lines from your poem,

such vivd images...beautifulReplyDelete
Leather gloves were my best friends in London & Edinburgh earlier this month, they are everything you capture in your poem.ReplyDelete
Happy post-Christmas days to you, Tess.
plywood of a naked handReplyDelete
very descriptive
wonderful journey of words
yes girl!!! stevenReplyDelete
I felt the tug and pull of those leather gloves, Tess. Great photo and quote. I have to practice pretending a bit more. Thanks for the inspiration, and I love your poetry writing style.ReplyDelete
"Kidskin psalm"....putting on my gloves will hereafter be a deeply spiritual ritual....your words amaze me, Tess.ReplyDelete
Just think, years hence, I will be among the followers who will be able to say...I knew her when..{warm winks}.

Seems I was repeating myself...ReplyDelete
very sensual, i like!ReplyDelete
Oh, I love this! I wish I had written it! Kudos - again!ReplyDelete
I agree--but gloves ARE so personal and sensual--they wind up mimicking every curve of the fingers that slither into those little crevices long after the hands slip back out again. Lovely! Like your gloves, too!ReplyDelete
that last stanza ia truly inspired willow...nice.ReplyDelete
Although I do love the feel of a leathered gloved hand caressing my palm and it can and does incite some firery images, it's the touch of skin to my own that is the more pleasurable and not at all like plywood; more like a rich warm walnut.
That said; I love your poem!
Willow, I am enchanted! A book needs to be made.ReplyDelete
Lovely lines and reading. Expresses thrill and hints of guilty pleasure.ReplyDelete
Divine words spoke of an everyday object.ReplyDelete
This is fantastic, exactly how it feels, depending on who's gloved hand it is.ReplyDelete

Oo, very sensuous and mildly erotic - you have captured the fetish for gloves.ReplyDelete
Such a Romantic re-emerges inReplyDelete
the last waning shafts of the
year ready to catapult itself
into history, and lusty,
and tactual, sensual, and
sadly for we of the blue collar,
who never had the coin to
purchase those form-fitting
driver's gloves one used to
see only on the fists of those
driving BMW, Jaguar, Porsche,
Ferrari, and Range Rovers;
those soft leather ones with
the cut outs over the top
of the hand, and silver buckles,
and sexy perforations on the
sides of the fingers, we never
had the real experience of
relating to luxurious leather;
yet no matter, because thanks
to your poem, we all slip on a
pair, and see them with new
eyes remembering that
/taut leather and/cashmere
ignites passion/. You made
a fancy pair of mittens have
the allure of ladies' lingerie .
This is the poem Emily Dickinson
cold never write.
This is so subtle and sensual, I have a pair of leather gloves with faux mink cuffs and I love how soft, and caressing they are.....ReplyDelete
Hi. I found your blog through a link on moments of perfect clarity... I love this poem, but I love your reading of it more. There are things I didn't notice - the soft cohesiveness of tickle and fickle - on reading it silently.ReplyDelete
It's beautiful. Thank you.
Lovely! Gloves are so personal, aren't they?ReplyDelete
Wonderfully sensuous poem, indeed.ReplyDelete
But I don't think those gloves would be particularly good for shovelling snow or changing a car tire during a snow storm.
Rob-bear, hmm, I can't tell you the last time I changed a tire in a snow storm. ;^)ReplyDelete
I love the wordplay...tickle and fickle, and psalm (palm).ReplyDelete
I'll never look at gloves quite the same ever again. Truly a great poem.ReplyDelete
Love how many comments touch on the sensual feel of your poem ... it's true, gloves will never seem utilitarian again.ReplyDelete
Beautiful images, alluring piece, well done.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousWed Dec 29, 12:48:00 AM
Lovely poem. I particularly liked the meshing of visual and aural, the kidskin psalm.ReplyDelete
love love loveReplyDelete
I'm sure this is not what you had in mind, but I was reminded of an old 007 flick where Sean Connery strokes a sumptuous young woman all over with a mink mitten. Your poem was a bit more subtle, but equally steamy.ReplyDelete
A great pair of leather gloves feels just like that!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous. The alliterations are perfectly warmReplyDelete
Everything from "One clandestine touch" to "naked palm" is pure ecstasy.
thank you for writing and sharing it.
Every woman needs to buy a pair after reading those marvelous lines that send shivers down your back and tingling sensations all over.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas
Well chosen words. I wonder whether any of your poets this week will personify the hand(s) that slip into the glove(s). Now there's an idea . . .ReplyDelete
Lovely, sensual piece, Willow.ReplyDelete
Plywood palms? Yikes. It may be too late for Aveeno. Yeah, I'd go with the gloves.ReplyDelete
Leather gloves bring out the sexiness and sensuality of that moment. Thanks Tess and Happy New Year to you!ReplyDelete
A kaleidoscope of great images,ReplyDelete
an incredibly vivid sensory experience,
both words and picture!
Beautiful series of sensual images! But what becomes the real dramtic power of the poem is your use of the word "woolgathering" - a surprise word. Usually, if you wool gather, then you are clutching at something not really there! But you have given that idea an extra, alternative gloss!ReplyDelete
Besides causing me to look at leather gloves differently, this thrills me with its lovely language.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousWed Dec 29, 07:18:00 AM
Love to hear you read your on poetry; a plus for sure. I lost a pair of rabbit hair gloves a couple of years ago. I miss the feel of them. This is another poem for the printer, daaahling! :)ReplyDelete

s/b "your own poetry" :)
Very delikate and nice photo - Well doneReplyDelete
A delicate balance of the purely sensual and the gently erotic. Very nicely done, Tess.ReplyDelete
Whoops! That comment jumped the gun without a link.ReplyDelete
Your voice suits you.
I love the enigma of it..the puzzle that falls into place!!ReplyDelete
The imagery in this poem is enthralling.ReplyDelete
Beautifully done!ReplyDelete
Very dramatic. And I DO feel different when I put on my soft leather gloves -a bit of mystery envelopes me all of a sudden as I head off for the grocery store... LOLReplyDelete
sexy and sublime. Lovely poem.ReplyDelete
I really like this....sooo many confessions hiding within these lines!ReplyDelete
it becomes the smooth
kidskin psalm, sung
by a beautiful stranger.." Fantastic!
I've always felt this way about gloves. Indeed, what lovely words you write.ReplyDelete
i'll never look at my gloves the same way...such a beautiful ode to this mose useful and essential items!!!!!ReplyDelete
Smooth and sultry One Shot, Tess.ReplyDelete
As usual a nice rhythm, and a contrast between the delicate and the darkness that looms.ReplyDelete
I like "the apocalypse of taut leather and cashmere" and "plywood of a naked palm" a lot.
Happy New Year, Tess.
Amazing description in this Willow...this is lovely! :-)ReplyDelete
"the apocalypse of taut leather"ReplyDelete
come on!!!
that is wicked good stuff Willow.
can I say that I had the thought of a glove slap come to mind.
there must be a movie you could name with a good glove slap scene.
A new way to look at my gloves, buy yes, soft and sensual they are!ReplyDelete
Not the stretchy knit gloves certainly...but oh the soft leather gloves...yes a psalm/palm:)ReplyDelete
This flows so beautifully!ReplyDelete
Liza, the first glove slap scene that pops into my head is from Woody Allen's "Love and Death"!ReplyDelete
Just beautiful, I did swoon at the words "smooth/kidskin psalm"!ReplyDelete
Oh how lovely. Sensual, full of imagery. This truly sings!ReplyDelete
Like a caress, Tess (and that's like a poem!).ReplyDelete
And I like your new picture. Very dramatic and a bit sultry. It makes me think of old films.
Beautiful - and so true, no amount of costly creams seems to lessen the plywood feel of my aging fingers.ReplyDelete
I prefer the soft warm touch of flesh given life beyond the frigid feel of plywood. Great One Shot.ReplyDelete
exquisitely woven words!ReplyDelete
Glove SlapReplyDelete
A glove slap in a little old face will
Get you satisfaction.
Glove slap ba-a-beee ... (Glove slap, baby)
Glove slap, baby, glove slap!
Glove slap, I don't take crap!
Glove slap, shut your big yap.
—The B-52s on The Simpsons
Woody Allen's Love and Death:
Hey, what is this? Slap Boris Day?
Parodied in Robin Hood Men In Tights. The Sheriff of Rottingham does this to Robin to challenge him to a duel, and Robin responds by slapping him back... with a metal gauntlet.
In Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade, Colonel Vogel slaps Henry several times with his glove until Henry grabs his wrist stopping him.
In Beauty And The Beast, Lumiere does this to Cogsworth at the end of the movie.
Buster Keaton does this in Hard Luck — in an attempt to coax his opponent into range of a shotgun with a string tied to the trigger.
In Casanova, Giovanni tries to challenge Casanova this way but for a variety of reasons, Casanova isn't keen on the idea... until his servant forces his hand by slapping Giovanni back.
A variant in Metropolis: when the Thin Man tries to bribe Josaphat into leaving his apartment (and letting the Thin Man meet Frieder in Josaphat's place), Josaphat picks up the bribe money and slaps the Thin Man in the face with it.
I think George C . Scott used a glove to slap the soldier with battle fatigue in PATTON.
So nice. I personally have a few pairs of gloves and love leather gloves. You write so gently about many ways to view a pair of gloves. Just lovely.ReplyDelete
I have had to re-read your words several times, your words are so cleverly entwined.ReplyDelete
How different when read.
How beautiful.
Congratulations on your being published. There is something really grand about being published. No-one can take it away, not ever. There it is, your work, your words, till kingdom come. Well for a long time anyway.

And thanks for all the work you have put into Magpie Tales throughout 2010.
Happy New Year, Tess.
Hauntingly beautiful and the timbre of your voice accentuates the words perfectly. Bravo!ReplyDelete
Lots of gentle exploration in this poem, but I must offer an addition to Greyscaale Territory's interpretation of 'woolgathering' that better fits my interpretation of the poem. In my youth, when caught letting my imagination wander, I was accused of 'woolgathering', in this case, 'daydreaming'.ReplyDelete
Ford, yes, I used "woolgathering" in the traditional "dreaming" sense of the word, and thought the woolliness fit the subject perfectly!ReplyDelete
So many great lines in this one Tess...enjoyed the read and the prompt...nothing like a soft pair of black leather gloves...tight fit...Have a great New Year...looking forward to a new year of writing and reading...bkmReplyDelete

In Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade, Colonel Vogel slaps Henry several times with his glove until Henry grabs his wrist stopping him.
That was an extremely sexy scene.
The facts that Standartenführer/Oberst/Colonel Vogel marches around while carrying a riding crop/swagger stick in his leather-gloved hands at all times and only ever removes one of his black gloves to effeminately slap his victims with it until he reaches climax make him very sexy. He also dry humped Indiana Jones on the tank. There are only a few ways in which he could have been a sexier, more evil Nazi-villain:
His entire SS-uniform should have been made of leather (similar to Hauptscharführer Ilsa Haupstein's uniform from the opening of "Hellboy", except that her peaked cap was not made of leather).
He should have slapped his riding crop/swagger stick against his leather breeches/jodhpurs in rage whenever he uttered one of his effeminate screams when humiliated by the Joneses or when ordering his men around(similar to Frau Farbissina in the final act of "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me").
The film should have included scenes in which (a) superior officer(s) inspects the Standartenführer/Oberst/Colonel and his unit, whom he would have greeted by clicking his heels, executing a Nazi salute and screaming "Achtung! Heil Hitler!" (similar to Obersturmbannführer Ilsa and her female Oberscharführer and Scharführer in "Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS").
Finally, he should have worn leather SS-riding boots with spurs instead of Mister Minit replicas.
He should also have worn a leather mask, like Hauptmann von Stalhein, the German villain in Biggles - Adventures in Time

Grace After Meal
Some info about: Birkas Hamazon (AKA: Birkat Hamazon or Grace After Meal or Birkhas Hamazon or Birkhat Hamazon, Bentchin' or Bentching or Bentch) , birkat hamazon with translation
We've been getting some questions, requests and searches regarding Birkas Hamazon (AKA: Birkat Hamazon or Grace After Meal or Birkhas Hamazon or Birkhat Hamazon, Bentchin' or Bentching or Bentch) and birkat hamazon with translation
So, we've searched the Net for some information that we'd like to share with you as follows:
We found the following texts on AskMoses.com (Http://www.AskMoses.com):
What is Grace after Meals?
by Rabbi Mendy Hecht
A. Hey, just ate something? Feelin' good? Go ahead—say "Thank you!" to G-d for lubricating the ecosystem that got that stuff on your plate. Birkat Hamazon (pronounced BEER-kaht hah-MAH-zone), commonly translated as Grace After Meals, is what Jews say when they're done chowing down. Thanking G-d for what you eat is Positive Mitzvah #19. However, Grace after Meals is a faulty phrase in that it sounds too religious. There's no mindless obeisance in Judaism, and the appreciation expressed to G-d after a hearty meal would be better simply titled just that: Appreciation.
B. Birkat Hamazon is a series of prayers to G-d recited in Hebrew, from a Siddur, (for online text: http://www.chabad.org/media/pdf/92404.pdf) and only after a meal that contains bread. When a group of three or ten people eat together, introductory statements are recited as well. Also known as bentching, from the Yiddish bentch, or bless, Birkat Hamazon takes about three minutes to do.
…if you do lunch at Frank's and the food is funky and the fried fish is fabulous, you'll say, "Thanks, Frank—the food was funky and your fried fish is fabulous!"
C. Birkat Hamazon has almost as many nus'chaot, or formats, that one find in Tefillah, or prayer. However, they all follow the same essential layout, consisting of around nine paragraphs.
1. How do I thank G-d after I eat?
Luckily, The Rabbis asked that question long before you did, and they answered it as well! They instituted a four-section set-format thank-you to be recited after every meal.1 Birkat Hamazon may be easily found in your Siddur's Table of Contents.
2. The Idea Behind It
If you do lunch at Frank's, you'll thank Frank when you leave: you'll say, "Thanks, Frank!" If you do lunch at Frank's and the food was funky, you'll say, "Thanks, Frank—the food was funky!" And if you do lunch at Frank's and the food is funky and the fried fish is fabulous, you'll say, "Thanks, Frank—the food was funky and your fried fish is fabulous!" Bottom line is, the more you enjoy it, the more details you add. And that's why Birkat Hamazon is not a one-liner—there's a lot to thank G-d for.
3. What It's All About
In Birkat Hamazon, one will find many expressions of gratitude for having food to eat, as well as for the land of Israel, the Exodus from ancient Egypt, our Jewishness, the Torah, the good things in life that we have, and of course, the food. And while you have your host's ear, you may as well as for a couple of favors. That's why the majority of Birkat Hamazon actually consists of prayers for redemption, the return to Israel, the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple, health and well-being, sustenance, and dignified self-sufficiency.

Who composed the Grace after Meal?
by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg
The obligating to express gratitude to G-d after eating a satiating meal is stated clearly in the Torah—"and you will eat and be sated, and you shall bless the L-rd, your G-d, for the good land He has given you."1
The Talmudic Sages2 extrapolated3 from this verse that the grace must contain three components. It must include gratitude to G-d for
a) the food consumed,
b) the Holy Land, and
c) Jerusalem.4
Thus the first three blessings of the Grace are a biblical obligation.5 Originally, however, every person worded these blessings in whichever manner he saw fit. There was no standard text, or even a set general structure for these blessings.
When the construction of the First Temple was completed, King Solomon added to this blessing mention of the Temple; Jerusalem's crown jewel
Structure – i.e. which general concepts must be included – was added to the first three blessings in stages:
• When the Manna first came down from heaven, Moses developed the first blessing—thanking G-d for sustenance.
• When the Jewish people entered Israel, Joshua structured the second blessing—thanking G-d for the Land.
• When King David was coronated in Jerusalem, he composed the basic outline of the third blessing—thanking G-d for Jerusalem. When the construction of the First Temple was completed, King Solomon added to this blessing mention of the Temple; Jerusalem's crown jewel.
When the Men of the Great Assembly instituted a standard prayer text, they did the same with the Grace After Meals. They developed a basic text for these three blessing, the text which is in use to this very day.
The fourth and final blessing of the Grace is wholly rabbinic and was instituted – structure and text – by the Sanhedrin in the city of Yavneh in 3908 (148 CE). This blessing, praising G-d for being "good and beneficent" was instituted to commemorate the tremendous miracle which occurred when the Romans allowed the dead of Beitar to be buried. See What is Tu b'Av? for an account of this miracle.
- 1. Deuteronomy 8:10.
- 2. Berachot 48b.
- 3. See "What exactly is the Oral Torah?"(http://www.askmoses.com/en/article/230,2065791/Who-composed-the-Grace-after-Meal.html)
- 4. Although Jerusalem isn't mentioned by name in the Five Books of Moses, it seems that the biblical obligation is to thank G-d for choosing a city wherein He would rest His Name—a concept mentioned numerous times in the Pentateuch. Eventually it became clear that this hitherto nameless city was Jerusalem.
- 5. There is an opinion that the requirement to recite three blessings after eating food is not biblical—the biblical mitzvah is satisfied by saying one blessing. Rather, it is a rabbinic institution which received added credence when the biblical verse was found to allude to this requirement (Beit Yoseph Orach Chaim 191).
Can you tell me the blessings we recite on different foods?
by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg
Food made of flour from wheat, barley, spelt, rye or oats: 1-2.
Wine/grape juice: 3.
Fruit: 4.
Vegetables: 5.
Everything else: 6.
1. Before eating bread, Challah or Matzah we say:1
Baruch Atta Ado-noy Eh-lo-hay-nu Me-lech ha-oh-lam, Hamotzee lechem meen ha-aretz.
[Blessed are you, L-o-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.]
The Grace After Meals is recited at the conclusion of the meal. (Click here for an online translation, transliteration or Hebrew/English PDF).
2. Before eating a food (other than bread) which was made of wheat, barley, spelt, rye or oats – such as cake, cookies, crackers, pasta or cereal – we say:
Baruch atta Ado-noy Eh-lo-hay-nu Me-lech ha-oh-lam, Bo-re mee-nay me-zoh-not.
[Blessed are you, L-o-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who creates various kinds of foods.]
Afterwards we recite the "Abridged" Grace After Meals; a.k.a. the "Al HaMichyah." (Click here for online translation or Hebrew/English PDF (blessing on p. 96))
3. Before drinking wine or grape-juice we say:
Baruch Atta Ado-noy Eh-lo-hay-nu Me-lech ha-oh-lam, Bo-re pe-ree ha-ga-fehn.
[Blessed are you, L-o-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.]
Afterwards we recite a slightly different version of the "Abridged" Grace After Meals; a.k.a. the Al Hagefen. (See above links).
4. Before eating fruit of a tree we say:
Baruch Atta Ado-noy Eh-lo-hay-nu Me-lech ha-oh-lam, Bore pe-ree ha-etz.
[Blessed are you, L-o-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the tree.]
Afterwards we say:
Baruch Atta Ado-nay Eh-lo-hay-nu Me-lech ha-oh-lam, Bore ne-fa-shot ra-bot ve-ches-ro-nan al kol mah she-ba-ra-ta le-hacha-yot ba-hem ne-fesh kol chai. Baruch chey ha-o-la-meem.
[Blessed are you, L-o-rd our G-d, King of the universe, Creator of numerous living beings and their needs, for all the things you have created with which to sustain the soul of every living being. Blessed is He who is the Life of the worlds.]
This after-blessing is for all fruit aside for grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates. Since the Torah praises the Land of Israel with these fruits (Deuteronomy 8:8), we recite for them a special after-blessing–yet another version of the "Abridged" Grace After Meals, a.k.a. the Al Haperot. (See above links).
5. Before eating vegetables we say:
Baruch Atta Ado-noy Eh-lo-hay-nu Me-lech ha-oh-lam, Bore pe-ree ha-ada-mah.
[Blessed are you, L-o-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the earth.]
The after-blessing for vegetables is the same as the after-blessing for fruit.
6. Before eating all other foods or drinks – e.g. meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, water, juices, alcoholic beverages and soft drinks – we say:
Baruch Atta Ado-noy Eh-lo-hay-nu Me-lech ha-oh-lam, She-ha-kol nee-hi-yah bee-de-varo.
[Blessed are you, L-o-rd our G-d, King of the universe, by whose word all things came to be.]
The after-blessing is the same as for fruit and vegetables.
- 1. When we recite this blessing over a piece of bread/Matzah at a meal it covers all the other food/drink we will eat during that meal, with the exception of wine/grape juice and dessert.
Why do we wash our fingertips before Grace after Meals?
by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg
Prior to Birkat Hamazon (Grace After Meals), one is obligated to wash Mayim Acharonim, the "Last Waters." Before blessing G-d, we sanctify ourselves by washing our hands, removing any food remnants which may have remained from the meal.
In times of old, many Jews were illiterate. Furthermore, prior to the invention of the printing press, even those who were literate often lacked even the most basic books, such as a Siddur. Therefore, when people ate together, it was common practice for one person to read the Birkat Hamazon, while everyone else would listen and answer Amen after each blessing, thus fulfilling the Mitzvah of Birkat Hamazon.
Since the primary reason for washing Mayim Acharonim is sanctification before blessing G-d… it is proper for every person to be meticulous in the observance of this washing
Since these people would not actually utter G-d's name in blessing, it would seem that they would be exempt from Mayim Acharonim. The Rabbis instituted, however, that the listeners, too, should wash Mayim Acharonim, due to the pernicious "Sodomite salt" which was prevalent in the foods of olden times. This salt caused serious injury when it came in contact with the eyes.
Today, Sodomite salt is not to be found in our foods. Therefore, there are those who are lenient with regards to washing Mayim Acharonim. However, since the primary reason for washing Mayim Acharonim is sanctification before blessing G-d – and the Sodomite salt reason is the reason why the listeners must wash – it is proper for every person to be meticulous in the observance of this washing.
[Rabbi Jacob Emden, renowned 17th century scholar, writes that in Talmudic times people generally ate with their fingers. Today however, since most people eat with flatware, Mayim Acharonim isn't as obligatory as it was then.
He concludes by saying, "perhaps this is why women today do not wash Mayim Acharonim, for they are more careful than their male counterparts in eating with spoons [forks and knifes]!"]
See also How do I wash Mayim Acharonim?
How do I wash Mayim Acharonim?
by Rabbi Naftali Silberberg
– Water is poured once on the fingers of each hand. The waters should reach at least the second joint of the fingers (the joint closest to the knuckles) – for that is the area which becomes dirtiest during the meal. The fingers should be pointed (slightly) downwards during the washing.
– Chabad custom is to wipe the lips of the mouth with the still-moist fingers.
– Birkat Hamazon should immediately follow Mayim Acharonim, without any interruption. It is, however, permitted to utter two or three words between Mayim Acharonim and Birkat Hamazon.

No longer starting, Miller thriving in bullpen
MINNEAPOLIS -- He was the sixth overall pick of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft. He was once the centerpiece of a trade for Miguel Cabrera. Now he's filling one of the more anonymous roles on a baseball roster as a middle reliever/setup man, but Andrew Miller and the Red Sox wouldn't have it any other way.
Miller, who scuffled through five difficult seasons with the Tigers and Marlins, came to Boston in 2011 and tried to resurrect his career in the Red Sox's rotation. After posting a 5.55 ERA in 12 starts, Miller was moved to the bullpen, and that's where -- very quietly -- he seems to have found himself a home.
Last year, Miller went 3-2 with a 3.35 ERA in 53 relief appearances. This year, his numbers (0-1, 4.15) are a bit skewed by one bad outing, when he gave up three runs in one-third of an inning against Toronto, but after allowing runs in three of his first seven appearances, he's held opponents scoreless in 11 of his last 12 outings.
The southpaw also has the full confidence of manager John Farrell. In the last two games -- both Red Sox victories -- he's thrown 2 1/3 shutout innings, and he retired all five batters he faced Friday night against the Twins. After the game, no matter what question was asked, Farrell kept finding a way to bring it back to Miller's performance.
"Andrew Miller, what he did last night down in [St. Petersburg] and again tonight -- after the first three or four outings of the season, he's really started to turn the corner," Farrell said on Friday. "The dependability, the strike-throwing is there, the breaking ball has been much more consistent to give him something to get right-handers off his fastball."
In describing his season, Miller could well have been summarizing his career to this point, laying out a philosophy that has served him well since he left the University of North Carolina as one of the hottest prospects in the country.
"I've had some ups and downs, just like always," Miller said on Saturday. "You want to ride the highs as long as you can and eliminate the lows, but I feel like I'm settling in pretty good and am ready to compete and help us win however I can.
"I think the only time we really get noticed is when we blow a game, so it's a little different," Miller said of life as a relief pitcher. "But it's a lot of fun to be on a team like this where we win a lot and you can contribute on any given night."
Miller was also able to laugh about narrowly avoiding being injured by a foul ball in the dugout on Friday. Teammate Jarrod Saltalamacchia lined a ball that ricocheted off a padded wall and struck Miller in the forehead.
"I think it just caught me off guard more than anything," he said with a chuckle. "I'm going to have to start wearing a helmet in the dugout."

Earlier this year, I reported on an emergency Pagan conclave in California to discuss proposed regulations by the California Department of Corrections (CDCR) relating to religious items allowed by incarcerated Pagans. This "Religious Property Matrix" would significantly change the way religious materials were handled, and Pagan prison chaplains wrote impassioned editorials both for and against the new guidelines. Now, James L. Bianchi of the House of Danu's chaplaincy program, who called the initial conclave, has issued a press release on proposed revisions to the property matrix that address many (but not all) concerns voiced by Pagans. Quote: "Though the revisions in the proposed Matrix represent substantial progress, we need to remain vigilant to ensure that the spiritual needs of our people are accommodated as required by federal law, and that Pagans enjoy the same religious freedoms as other religious traditions as required by the 1st, 5th, and 14th Amendments of the Constitution." You can see the proposed revisions, here. Public comments on these changes are open until July 16th at 5pm, and can be sent to Timothy M. Lockwood, Chief, Regulation and Policy Management Branch, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
From our "better late than never" department: Pagan band Chalice & Blade, which features songwriter and podcaster Mojo of The Wigglian Way, had one of their most popular songs, "I Hear You Calling," featured on the US television show "Being Human" earlier this year. The episode "One is Silver and The Other Pagan" aired in February of this year, and is available for rental at Amazon.com for those who'd like to see it. As one might expect, the episode features a Wiccan coven: "In order to begin reconstructing a new life for herself, Sally seeks out Bridget, her old best friend. Bridget is unusually calm about Sally's sudden reappearance as a flesh and blood human, which prompts Sally to ask a few questions. Bridget, it seems, has taken up with a local Wiccan group." Due to the renewed interest in their music, Mojo, along with singer Wendy, have re-formed the band as a duo and are now playing gigs again. Chalice & Blade's last album was 2006's "Wild Hunt," available at CD Baby. Congratulations to Chalice & Blade!
The 2013 TheurgiCon, is coming up this Weekend, July 13th, at the Bay Area Thelemic Temple in Oakland. TheurgiCon was founded in 2010 by Glenn Turner, who also founded PantheaCon, and features discussions on Neo-Platonism and theurgy. This year, featured speakers include Don Frew (who provides a look at the non-Greek Hermetic texts), Richard Reidy (speaking on Iamblichus and divine possession) and T. Thorn Coyle, who will be talking about theurgy in practice. Quote: "Theurgists such as Iamblichus instructed us to work from gross to fine in our operations. But what does this mean? How can we best approach this? There is a simple formulation: Thought. Energy. Emotion. Matter. The contemporary magic worker can use these levels to gauge what is missing from her magic, uncovering how best to approach the Gods and any theurgic operation. This session will include discussion and a diagnostic meditative working." This one-day intensive costs $40, and includes meals. You can read previous Wild Hunt coverage of this event, here.
On June 21st, a new book entitled "Cults and Criminals: Unraveling the Myths" was published, co-authored by Dr. David Oringderff, co-founder of Sacred Well Congregation, and "occult crimes expert" Don Rimer, who passed away at the beginning of 2012. The book claims to take you "beyond the hype" of occult crime. Quote: "There is likely no term that strikes holy terror in the western mind more than "Satanic Cult!" Most cults are not "Satanic." Most criminals who commit horrific crimes, leaving satanic symbols, often in the victim's blood, at the crime scene are not "Satanists." This book takes you beyond the hype, hyperbole, misinformation, disinformation and urban legends of pop culture and mass media that suggest that all cults, cultic and occultic activities are inextricably intertwined with criminal activity. That is a fatally-flawed assumption. The truth is that most criminals are criminal and most cults are cults, and sometimes their paths cross." The book makes it sound like it debunks the majority of "occult crime," which would be a welcome narrative within law enforcement. Don Rimer was quoted in 2011 saying that "occult crime happens all over the world and it's growing," so perhaps Mr. Rimer had a change of heart in the last years of his life? Anything is possible, and I certainly respect the work of Dr. Oringderff highly, so I'll approach the book with an open mind.
In Other Pagan Community News:
- Pagan chaplain and activist Patrick McCollum will be giving a talk in Corte Madera, California on July 19th on the subject of his near-death experience. Quote: "He floated through a tunnel of light. At the end of the tunnel, he came face to face with a luminous woman.'There was a deep sense of understanding, of knowledge hidden below the surface of her glance . . . there was a feeling in my heart that she knew my every thought, my every joy, my every pain.'"
- Congratulations to the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPs) on reaching 5000 likes on their official Facebook page! Quote: "Yes, you all have done it!

- Over at his blog, Chas Clifton gives a crack at defining "Pagan" and defends Michael York's definition from "Pagan Theology: Paganism as a World Religion." Quote: "I am going to break down York's definition and talk briefly abut what I like it from a religious-studies perspective. Then in a future post, I will look at another definition, one perhaps more suited to a historian."
That's all I have for now, have a great day!

In the Eye of the Right-to-Be-Forgotten vs. Right-to-Know Storm
May 16, 2014 5:00 AM PT
A disgraced politician, a pedophile, and a doctor who received negative ratings from patients reportedly are among the hordes of people asking Google to take down links to information published about them. The requests followed Tuesday's preliminary ruling by the European Court of Justice indicating Google may have to remove links to people's names on request, if appropriate.
The issue is a "collision between the right to be forgotten and the right to know," Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said Wednesday at the company's annual shareholder meeting.
There are valid arguments on both sides, Schmidt acknowledged.
However, a balance must be found, he said, and the decision -- which is binding -- has struck the wrong balance.
"This is an overreaction to natural changes that come with the information age and the Internet," Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld. "Eventually, these concerns will fade as social norms change and the social networking generation has more political influence."
What Google Is Doing
Google so far has pledged to create a mechanism within two weeks for German users to request the removal of links about them, according to The Wall Street Journal.
What's at StakeThe ECJ's ruling places privacy rights over free expression and access to information, critics have argued.
The court's decision "has undermined a fundamental premise of the Web -- that it's lawful to link to lawful content," Emma Llansò, director of the Project on Free Expression at of the Center for Democracy and Technology, told TechNewsWorld.
However, it "gives little guidance to search engines" on how to balance privacy rights against the public's right to access information, she pointed out. That may mean search engines will "very likely err on the side of taking down links to lawful content."
The Ruling's Possible Impact
The ruling "opens the door to a new censorship regime presented as privacy protection," fumed Adam Thierer, senior research fellow at George Mason University's Mercatus Center.
It "will have profound ramifications for the free flow of factual information, journalistic inquiry, and Internet freedom more generally," Thierer told TechNewsWorld.
"At the end of the day, anybody in Europe that's publishing information on people -- including Facebook -- is open to a lawsuit," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.
Criminal Minds
The ruling might benefit criminals and politicians because of its broad sweep, Enderle suggested.
"On the good side, there are an awful lot of people who had a hard time whose links should be taken down -- but this ruling also works for bad people," he told TechNewsWorld.
"I do think some rigor could have been put into ensuring stuff that is true should be allowed to remain, but where there is no proof, or people say stuff that's very damaging when it's untrue, [links] should be removed," Enderle continued.
The Other Side of the Coin
The ECJ tries to strike a balance between individuals' rights and the public right to know, Panagiota Kelali, associate director at the John Marshall Law School's Center for Information Technology & Privacy Law, told TechNewsWorld.
Paragraph 81 of the ruling and the closing section of the decision use language that means the individual's right to control personal information overrides the public's need for information, said Kelali, except "when the individual plays a significant role in public life and thus the public has a legitimate interest in having access to that information."
That would include people running for office, those who are in the public eye because of their work or activities, and people who are famous or infamous and thus influence public life, Kelali elaborated.
However "there are a lot of grey areas," she admitted, "that ultimately will have to be decided on a case-by-case basis.

I see a correlation of protective safety by looking at porn in the place of dealing with real people!
I see bullies when I see women Im interested in! I don't mean I think the girl is a bully! I mean, I see bullies that have crossed into my personal space in my nervous system and my mind that I have not dealt with! And I was controlled out of expressing myself with them! I could not move! I was controlled! I as scared and afraid and confused! It was like a chess game I was loosing!@ It wasn't the thug that was the problem; it was the cops! I could not win! I would be in trouble with the cops! And why was I put into a situation like this in the first place!
Heres the point; I was controlled out of getting close or reacting! My right to interact was taken! I could not budge one way or the other!
I am being forced to deal with this level of PTSD if I get close to a women! For me; its PTSD City because of these people from the past! And there are many of them! The idea is to get through these people into safer ground or what I remember as safer ground when young!
All of what I went through is do to the psychopath; sadistic nature of the psychopath! This is what they get you into! They get you into trouble with other people then pull back and don't help! But they are the ones who started it in the first place!
I have to forgive the abusers and the bullies completely! Blame it on the time period ran by the sociopaths! And somehow get back to the present and start over!
I find it strange that I am so scared of getting involved with women! Im really ######6 freaked out! It's the general involvement; it's not women! It's the closeness! And close interactions! I understand concerning my background; whats got me freaked is that any of this exists in the first place! Sucks!
So, a combination of forgiving the past! And moving forward with people!

Rumor has it that former Bachelorette Emily Maynard only cares about one thing these days – being famous.
Shocker! Ugh. I am sooo over Emily.
ABC reportedly wants Emily to be the Bachelorette again; however, it sounds like Princess Emily's sole focus right now is landing her own talk show. And Emily allegedly plans to move from Charlotte to Los Angeles to better her chances of landing such a gig. Obviously, if Emily moves away from Charlotte, so does Emily's daughter Ricki.
Understandably, Ricki's grandparents (parents of Emily's late finance Ricky Hendrick) are not too happy about Emily's desire to move their granddaughter across the country. According to RadarOnline, this moving business has caused major stress within the family, as the Hendricks feel as if Emily puts "her thirst for fame" ahead of Ricki's well-being.
Radar's source claimed, "Rick, Linda, and Emily do not speak at all now, aside from having to make arrangements regarding Ricki. They are majorly feuding and I don't see a resolution being reached anytime soon."

Reduce your carbon footprint, and help Swale Cats
Money paid for your old cartridges will help feed the cats in our care and assist with our monthly vet bills of £1000+.
Your used ink and toner cartridges could raise up to £2.75 each, and phones and unused cartridges up to £50.
Printable Freepost labels for ink cartridges, and free collections or local drop-offs for toners.
Recycling saves up to 2.5kg in CO2 — otherwise cartridges take 100s of years to decompose in landfill.
Even if your cartridges aren't eligible, we'll show you other recycling options.
Start Recycling Now Got Questions?
swalecats.ink2cash.co.uk is operated by Cartridges4Charity. Since 2003 Cartridges4Charity has been helping consumers and businesses to recycle used inkjet and empty laser cartridges, full cartridges and mobile phones to reduce your carbon footprint, and help raise funds and awareness for good causes.
Printing has significant costs on our environment — over 75% of our cartridges end up in landfill where they take thousands of years to decompose, so we encourage reuse or recycling of cartridges. Refilling cartridges reduces your carbon footprint, as up to 2.5kg of CO2 is saved each time a cartridge is refilled and reused compared to buying a new one.
And it needn't cost you the earth — all our services are free, and straightforward to use. So we'll offer you a Freepost address, a collection, or a local drop-off site for your items if we can reuse your items. If we can't accept your cartridges, we can point you in a useful direction so you can recycle them elsewhere.

Newport Folk Festival
The Felice Brothers, Live In Concert: Newport Folk 2013
The Felice Brothers, Live In Concert: Newport Folk 2013
In the beginning of The Felice Brothers' career, the band, from New York's Catskills, specialized in rowdy, stompy rock 'n' roll. But the group has spent the last few years exploring the more reflective side of its barroom-friendly, accordion-enhanced sound on albums like the 2011 hit Celebration, Florida. It's as if, say, Deer Tick began to incorporate the moody melancholia of its Rhode Island brethren in The Low Anthem — a tensely powerful but unmistakably pretty combination.
Hear The Felice Brothers perform a mix of old and new songs — the band just finished recording a new album — as part of the 2013 Newport Folk Festival, recorded live on Sunday, July 28 in Newport, R.I.

Define a one-parameter exponential family as a family of densities of the form $$f_\theta(x)=\exp(\eta(\theta)T(x) + \xi(\theta))h(x)$$ where $T(x)$ and $h(x)$ are Borel functions, $\theta\in\Theta\subset\mathbb R$ and $\eta$ and $\xi$ are real-valued functions defined on $\Theta$.
Double exponential distribution is a distribution having the density $$p_\theta(x)= \frac{1}{2}\exp(-|x - \theta|)$$ for $\theta\in\mathbb R$.
I am looking for a simple proof of the theorem in the title. I found a proof in the book of Shao "Mathematical Statistics. Exercises and Solutions." but it uses a more general definition of exponential families and doesn't show why the classes are not compatible. What is the special feature of $p_\theta(x)$ that makes the representation as exponential family impossible?

This is something I started a long time ago but only got off the backburner recently. In a nutshell, it's a pair of diagnostic ROMs that's supposed to do a better job of error reporting. Ideally it ends up saving hours of trying to find the cause compared to what the original BIOS does for you. The other major thing is that it includes a Z80 ROM for an actual Z80 test instead of the really basic "Z80 ERROR" you might see. The Z80 part requires a spare CHA board (any one with NEO-ZMC), a socket and a 27c1001 to burn but it's optional. The BIOS just takes place of the regular BIOS but it can't be used to play games.
Enabling proper Z80 testing is the reason I started it since the original setup is almost worthless for that. It does have a full set of tests for the 68k end of things though. A lot of tests have been added and are more precise in reporting what actually appears to be wrong and are more likely to catch certain problems that the original tests can't. Another bonus is that it's more likely to give a meaningful info on a completely dead system since it doesn't rely on as many working components, so a system with the click of death is worth trying with something like this. There's a bunch of other things too but most of it on my site.
Here's the homepage with download links and some info. I tested this on my own AES+MV1T+MV2F+MV4F and it seems to work fine. Any suggestions or questions, just shoot. Even if you don't understand what an error is trying to tell you, just posting a pic of the results may help you save a lot of screwing around. I already got some use out of it with a 4 slot that I've been sitting on for a while and hopefully repairers or anyone with a load of systems can get some use out of it.

DOVER –The Dover Chamber was pleased to welcome Child Light Yoga with a traditional ribbon cutting ceremony.
ChildLight Yoga provides evidence-based yoga education to children in schools and communities, and to professionals whose work supports the well-being of children. It is our mission to teach strategies that help children and youth develop resilience, positive perceptions, good health habits and mindful awareness.
Why yoga for kids?
Yoga helps children see the beauty and light within themselves, boosting their self-confidence, allowing them to feel more comfortable with their bodies, and helping them get in touch with who they are inside. A child who learns yoga for relaxation will be developing skills that last a lifetime.
Benefits of Yoga for Children: develops/improves strength & flexibility ; improves concentration, focus & attention; develops/improves balance & coordination; improves general body awareness; boosts self-confidence and self-esteem; improves sleeping patterns; encourages mind/body connection; promotes calm and ability to be less reactive; expands creative expression & imagination; aids digestion, circulation & elimination; promotes respect for self & others; improves immune system function; teaches environmental awareness, earth care,; and overall sense of connectedness; promotes self-discipline and self-control; clears the mind, promotes learning-readiness; promotes an overall sense of well-being.
Yoga provides vital therapeutic benefits to children. This is ChildLight Yoga's foundational philosophy and motivation. While their classes provide an opportunity for children to explore movement in a fun and supportive environment, their primary objective is to provide children with strategies that build the resilience they need to adapt to the busy, outcome-based world in which they live. Breathing, movement, meditation, affirmation are some of many strategies they utilize to promote adaptibility, self-esteem, courage, a healthy body and a calm and confident mind. This is important — necessary — work, and they are proud of our competent and caring team of teachers that works so effectively to offer the benefits of a holistically healthy lifestyle to children.
In future years, they foresee ChildLight Yoga moving toward greater involvement in supporting and producing the research that validates the work that we do. They anticipate opportunities for collaboration with children's healthcare providers, adapting yoga programming for use in therapy and other mainstream healthcare settings.
At ChildLight Yoga, they are blessed with a team of talented and dedicated yoga professionals who whole-heartedly embrace our mission.
ChildLight Yoga is located at 453 Central Avenue, Suite 103, in Dover. For more information about classes, trainings, workshops, events and the Teen Yoga Network, visit www.childlightyoga.com. You can also call them at 603-343-4116.

Toots & The Maytals coming to Beaver Creek Nov. 11
BEAVER CREEK – The Vilar Performing Arts Center's fall Underground Sound series is underway, but the venue is not ready to pack it in for winter just yet. The Vilar Center will extend its lineup with a bonus eighth performance on Nov. 11 when Toots and the Maytals Unplugged Acoustic Tour comes to the venue, along with Anders Osborne. Toots and the Maytals, once known simply as the Maytals, are considered legends of ska and reggae music. Lead singer and native Jamaican Toots Hibbert and his band helped chart the course of Jamaican music through its various evolutions of ska, reggae and rock. Venturing far beyond those roots, Toots and the Maytals have collaborated with some of rock, pop, hip hop and country's biggest artists, including classic icons Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, and Keith Richards, as well as popular artists of today such as No Doubt, Ben Harper, The Roots and Shaggy.Toots and the Maytals will be joined by Anders Osborne. Osborne, who will return to the Vail Valley after opening for Gov't Mule at the Ford Amphitheater on Sept. 14, brings a powerful trio of riveting songwriting, soulful vocals and stellar guitar playing. Originally from Sweden, Osborne is among the most original and visionary musicians performing today and is ranked as one of the Big Easy's favorite musical heroes in his home base of New Orleans."Coming off of the Underground Sound Series, which is largely about bringing rising singer/songwriters to the stage and giving fans a chance to discover new music, we expect an explosive performance from Toots and the Maytals and Anders Osborne, giving tribute to the many genres and styles of music over which they've had influence during past decades," said Kris Sabel, executive director for the Vilar Performing Arts Center. "Most recently, Toots and the Maytals has collaborated with everyone from The Rolling Stones and Dave Matthews Band to Sheryl Crow and Los Lonely Boys. They could easily play 10 completely different sets that would each blow us away in different ways." Following on the heels of the VPAC's Underground Sound series, which takes place Sunday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Toots and the Maytals Unplugged Acoustic Tour with Anders Osborne takes place Sunday, November 11 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the VPAC's winter season will then go on sale immediately following this final fall performance. Toots and the Maytals tickets are $58 and available starting Monday, online at vilarpac.org, by phone at 970-845-TIXS or in person at the VPAC Box Office in Beaver Creek.

Halloween's come early at the domestic B.O. as Summit's "Sinister" prevailed on Friday with $7.5 million.
However, despite leaving the gate with a slight edge over last weekend's champ, Fox's "Taken 2" with $7 million from Friday, scarers are traditionally front-loaded affairs and the Liam Neeson-starrer is expected to overtake it. "Taken 2" is looking at a three-day in the low $20 million range while "Sinister" will likely lag to the high teens.
To date, "Taken 2" has cumed $71.3 million. It won't be crossing the $100 million milestone this frame, but Sony carryover "Hotel Transylvania" — which earned $4.2 million Friday and has cumed $89 million domestically thus far — will top $100 million by Monday.
In third, Ben Affleck-helmed "Argo" grossed $5.9 million. The political thriller is tracking nicely with adults, which should bode well for its legs, but it won't cause any upsets this weekend. Pic is expected to top out just behind "Sinister" in the high teens.
The frame's other two newcomers, Sony's "Here Comes the Boom" and CBS Films' "Seven Psychopaths," earned $3.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. "Psychopaths," currently in ninth, is trying a semi-limited rollout with 1,480 locations before it expands on the 26th.
Finally, Atlas Media's "Atlas Shrugged: Part II" opened at an aggressive 1,012 locations and will likely disappoint like its predecessor. It earned about $700K on Friday, and is looking at a three-day take just south of $2 million.

Gov. Rick Scott sent an e-mail Tuesday to China's president to praise him for meeting with Florida's top professors and scientists at an upcoming conference in Taipei.
The delegation, led by Ed Moore, president of The Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida, will meet with President Ma Ying-jeou at the Fourth Annual Taiwan-Florida Higher Education conference.
Scott also told the president he looks forward to continued expansion of economic and cultural ties between Taiwan and Florida.
"Recognizing the importance of higher education to the future of our state and your country is of great importance," Scott said.
If His Excellency has replied to Scott's e-mail, it's not yet visible on Sunburst, the public-access website for e-mails to and from the governor's office.

Snuggling with their pillow pets, most likely watching Mickey Mouse
Charlotte takes her coloring very seriously. She loves making books and would go through an entire ream of paper in a week if I let her. She has passed the phase of coloring an entire sheet with one color and is actually quite artistic and creative. Naomi's drawings still need interpretation, but her paper full of circles and doodles are adorable :)

Homegirl has style, right?!
And this is one reason I know she'll be a great big sister! She got down on the floor to talk and play with her little cousin, Katie Joy.
Charlotte's favorite Christmas present, by far, was this Rapunzel dress. When she opened the box and saw it, she couldn't get her jammies off quickly enough to get the dress on!

The doughy star of this summer's breakout hit, "Knocked Up," is finalizing a deal to write, and likely star in, Columbia's bigscreen adaptation of "Green Hornet." He will exec produce, along with co-writer and frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg.
Rogen would play Brit Reid, millionaire publisher-turned-masked crime fighter -- a role George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Jake Gyllenhaal flirted with in various stages of the project's long gestation.
"The Green Hornet" started as a radio serial before being turned into a comicbook, film and TV skein by the 1960s. TV show was notable for the presence of the late Bruce Lee as sidekick Kato, a kung fu expert with a killer car.
However, the project -- which seems almost old-fashioned compared with today's elaborate superhero movies -- has struggled to get off the ground in recent years. Universal and Miramax both abandoned the project before producer Neal Moritz set it up at Columbia a few months ago (Daily Variety, March 21).
Rogen has developed into a potent double threat at the instigation of Judd Apatow, who cast the Canadian in "Undeclared" while he was still a teen and then pushed him to write for the short-lived skein. Rogen co-produced and appeared in a key supporting role in Apatow's "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and has since set up several writing and acting projects around town. "Superbad," the first script he wrote with Goldberg, will bow from Columbia next month.
He originally wrote it for himself, but the project took so long to get off that ground that he has a supporting role as a cop in it. Rogen is skedded to appear at Comic-Con next week to tubthump the movie.
Also in the works: "The Pineapple Express," which he co-wrote and will star in for Col; and "Drillbit Taylor," a Paramount project. He has several acting projects in the works, including "The Spiderwick Chronicles," "Fanboys" and a voice for "Horton Hears a Who."
I have just one word for this...
