No offense, Yoganonymous, but are you, like, currently on a shit-ton of fad-drugs and highly caffeinated energy drinks? I mean, "Heli-Yoga?" Are you really shilling for this?
From the August 9th article "Heli-Yoga: What It Is & Why You Should Try It:"
"Heli-yoga proves that yoga isn't just for relaxation and inner-peace, it can also be exciting enough to thrill even the most die-hard active junkies and adventure addicts. Even when the invigorating helicopter ride comes to a halt, the scenery provides a rush on its own, and there's nothing like the fresh mountain air to remind you that this is no ordinary yoga experience."
One thing I LOVE about Yoganonymous is that sometimes they write the exact same article we would have written, only their articles are almost always serious. It's really quite astounding. Check it:
"Even in the quietest, most ambient yoga studios, there's always a distraction; whether it's the noise of traffic in the distance or a flickering light bulb, it's practically impossible to experience complete liberation while trapped indoors."
Like, we would've written the same thing, only we would've been making fun of something. How comical is that??? Come on, Yoganonymous, why isn't there any humor in this? Here I was reading this *thing* thinking, Hahaha…. Ok, I get it. This is satire. Any minute now there's gonna be a punchline and all that rage brewing inside my tiny reptilian brain is gonna be the fool in all this. Any minute now. I'm sure it's coming soon….
And, then….
Nothing happened.
Apparently, this advertisement in the guise of an article is just another thin layer of the ever-far-reaching surface most yoga "lifestyle journalism" pieces seem to skate along.
Anyway, just a quickie to show how ridiculous even one paragraph of this "article" is:
1. "Even in the quietest, most ambient yoga studios, there's always a distraction; whether it's the noise of traffic in the distance or a flickering light bulb, it's practically impossible to experience complete liberation while trapped indoors."
This is a most reductive and uninformed statement completely ignoring the nature of "distractions," their use-value, and how running from such things is a prescription for a weak, self-serving, yoga practice. This sentence alone should preclude anyone from actually having to ever give a hampster's nipple about anything Yoganonymous says about yoga.
2. "And we all know, workout DVDs just don't cut it these days, especially when there are so many opportunities to experience open-air nirvana."
First, jumping back-and-forth between the concept of "yoga" and the concept of "workout" is just awesome! Second, DVDs work for people who they work for. No sense in making people feel bad about it. Some people don't have access to helicopters and real live teachers. You work with what you got.
3. "Many yoga activists enjoy taking class outdoors, as you've probably seen in parks around your neighborhood, but few have used yoga as an opportunity to travel to the top of a mountain."
Well, seeing as yoga asana doesn't really involve much hiking or kayaking, I suppose you're right. I've never used yoga to climb a mountain. I usually just use a good pair of shoes and a cool-ass day pack. Unless, of course, you're talking about karma yoga-ing up a mountain to bring some random sherpas some iPads (which would, ironically, be the end of sherpas). But, you and I both know no one really digs that kind of yoga. Too "open-eneded." That is, unless you're talking about karma yoga-ing the front desk at a yoga studio and it comes with some free yoga classes.
4. "While this extreme destination activity has been around for the past decade, it's still a well-kept secret among yogis."
Wait. I actually don't know what this means…. Are you saying people who practice yoga are unaware of helicopters and mountains? Is that true? Or, are you suggesting that people who practice yoga have been ignoring the fact that they could rent a helicopter to take them to the top of the mountain to do yoga? Is that what you're saying? Maybe said yoga practitioners didn't think of renting a helicopter to take them to the top of a mountain to do yoga, because it's totally
retarded lame!
Ugh. This is hurting my brain! Will someone please tell me this is all a joke? Can I please ignore this and go back to web-searching some seriously transgressional porn? I mean, this is just some helicopter tour company yoga bleaching the undies off a spiritual tradition to sell more helicopter rides, right?
yoga bleaching: 1. a form of marketing in which yoga or an image of yogic lifestyle is used to make an otherwise unrelated product appear to be in line with yogic principles. 2. the act of using yoga or an image of yogic lifestyle to sell an unrelated product. 3. a form of spin or marketing intended to deceive consumers into believing that a product is related to yogic practice or theory when in fact it is not.

Shana C. Waterman Named SVP, Event Series & Multi-Platform Programming
Kiliaen Van Rensselaer Joins Network as SVP, Multi-Platform Programming
Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX) Chairman of Entertainment Kevin Reilly and Chief Operating Officer Joe Earley today announced a restructuring and expansion of the network's Programming team designed to foster the company's expanding programming efforts. Beginning immediately, the following leadership changes are in effect:
· James Oh has been promoted to Senior Vice President, Current Programming. In this role, he will oversee production and creative coverage of all of FOX's new and returning scripted series, including THE FOLLOWING, BONES, NEW GIRL, RAISING HOPE, THE MINDY PROJECT, GLEE, TOUCH, FAMILY GUY, THE SIMPSONS, BOB'S BURGERS, THE CLEVELAND SHOW, AMERICAN DAD and MURDER POLICE. Mr. Oh will report to Mr. Earley and will assume the day-to-day management of the network's entire Current Programming team.
· Shana C. Waterman has been named Senior Vice President, Event Series & Multi-Platform Programming, a newly-created department within FOX dedicated to managing the network's limited-run and digital programming initiatives. Ms. Waterman will commission and develop long-form event series for FOX, working closely with FX Productions, and separately will oversee the content in the network's new multi-platform programming, including Animation Domination High-Def (ADHD), THE SHORT-COM COMEDY HOUR (working title), WIGS and other digital-to-broadcast efforts. She will report to Mr. Reilly.
In addition, FOX has hired Kiliaen Van Rensselaer as Senior Vice President, Multi-Platform Programming. Previously Senior Vice President, Digital Media at News Corporation, Mr. Van Rensselaer will serve as the senior operational executive dedicated to FOX's multi-platform programming and will work closely with Mr. Earley and Ms. Waterman to manage and grow that business.
"These appointments are an investment in some of our top people to strengthen our core programming business and take strategic steps forward with alternative platforms to incubate talent and ideas," said Mr. Reilly. "With James - our 'go-to' Current exec for many years - heading up our Current team, Shana - a creative self-starter who has driven some of FOX's most exciting initiatives - now heading up our Event Series and Multi-Platform efforts and Kiliaen - a key player from News Corp. Digital who has a deep background in digital strategy - now driving our new platforms business, we have the leaders and structure in place to run the most forward-thinking programming team in the industry."
Mr. Oh was previously Vice President, Current Programming at FOX, supervising new and returning series such as THE FOLLOWING, BONES, THE SIMPSONS, "24," and "King of the Hill." Prior to that, he held leadership roles within the network's program and audience research departments, where he provided strategic analyses evaluating overall network, program and schedule strengths. Before joining FOX in April 1998, Mr. Oh held production and market research roles at Vibe TV and The Martec Group. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Previously, Ms. Waterman served as FOX's Senior Vice President, Current Programming, overseeing FOX's new and returning series. Her program slate included GLEE, "Fringe," FAMILY GUY, AMERICAN DAD, RAISING HOPE, "House" and THE MINDY PROJECT. She also spearheaded the FOX Innovators Group (FIG), the network's internal think tank-style program designed to foster entrepreneurial thinking and innovation among employees. Prior to joining FOX as Director of Current Programming in 2006, Ms. Waterman was a Manager of Development at Timberman/Beverly Productions. In addition to her work in television, Ms. Waterman has sustained her ongoing interest in theater. She completed several years of service as a board member and former chair of Los Angeles-based Cornerstone Theater Company and has worked as a consultant to New Haven's Tony Award-winning Long Wharf Theatre. She also served as a senior researcher for playwright/actor Anna Deavere Smith, and in that capacity, participated in Harvard University's Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue. Ms. Waterman produced the play "Ah-Ha Moments," which was nominated for an NAACP Excellence in Theater Award. Currently, she serves on the Board of the New York Foundation for the Arts. Ms. Waterman is a graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School.
Mr. Van Rensselaer joins the FOX team from News Corporation, where he was Senior Vice President of Marketing & Partnerships, Digital Media. Most recently, he helped lead strategy for digital distribution of key media properties, identified and gestated new businesses, and managed the scripted digital video entertainment venture WIGS, which launched last year on YouTube. Separately, he spearheaded negotiations with wireless carriers, mobile device OEMs and retailers for distribution agreements on behalf of many News Corp. properties, including The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, and IGN. In 2008, Mr. Van Rensselaer helped start a software and services e-reading company called Skiff that was acquired by News Corp. in 2010.

This test looks for a protein called albumin in a urine sample.
See also: Urine albumin
You will usually be asked to give a small sample of urine while at your doctor's office.
Rarely, you may have to collect all of your urine at home. This may be for 4 hours, overnight, or 24 hours. To do this, you will use a container with a cap. You will get this from your doctor. You may also need to have blood tests to look for kidney damage.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
Anyone with diabetes should have this test yearly. The test checks for signs of early kidney problems.
People with diabetes have a higher risk of kidney damage. In the early stages of kidney problems, you may have no other symptoms. Even other blood tests may be normal.
Your doctor will want to see if you have any kidney damage before it has become very bad. This helps you get treatment before the problem gets worse. People with severe kidney damage may need dialysis. They may even need a new kidney.
Normally, albumin stays in the body. Little or no albumin shows up in the urine.
A result of less than 30 micrograms per milligram of creatinine (mcg/mg) is normal. This means that your kidneys are most likely working well.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
If the test finds a high level of albumin in your urine, your doctor may repeat the test.
Abnormal results may mean your kidneys are starting to get damaged. But the damage may not yet be bad. There are two ways you may see abnormal results reported:
You will need more tests must be done to confirm a problem. The test will also show how bad any kidney damage may be.
Most often the problem is caused by diabetes. Higher levels may also occur with some immune disorders and high blood pressure. It may also happen with narrowing of the artery of the kidneys.
There are no risks with providing a urine sample.
Healthy people may have higher levels after exercise. People who are dehydrated may also have higher levels.
If you have diabetes, make sure you are following your diet.Take your insulin or other drugs the right way. Control your blood pressure. You also need to be more physically active to prevent more damage.

An explosion of 3-Series model derivitives (remember when there was just one, lonely 320i in the states?) means BMW's franchise now spans five major constructs: (SUV, coupe, sedan, convertible and wagon. Where does a company bent on line expansion go from there? According to company insiders, the next step could be toward the mostly unknown and barely useful shooting brake style (mocked up by AutoBild, above). Derived for English country gentlemen who had a devil of a time fitting a shotgun in their MGs, the hybrid sportscar-wagon was always somewhat of a dead-ender.
Then, Audi built a "shooting brake" prototype, which it unveiled at the Tokyo show last year, reviving interest in the fox-hunter's friend. Now, word is BMW is considering a similar treatment for the 3-Series. Such a car would be similar to the Z4-coupe, which arguably fits the shooting brake definition. While greenlighting the project would be a testement to the company's production flexibility, the project was initiated under former boss Helmut Panke's reign. Whether it survives the new management remains to be seen. Tally ho!

With Mark Knopfler
When: Friday night
Where: Rogers Arena
VANCOUVER -- Two types of Bob Dylan fans walked out of Rogers Arena Friday night: Some completely enchanted, others fairly disappointed by the legend's performance.
At 71, Dylan doesn't need anyone to tell him how to do his thing. Or even if he's doing it right.
"I don't care what people expect of me," Dylan once said. "Doesn't concern me. I'm doing God's work. That's all I know."
God moves in mysterious ways, and Dylan commands the kind of religious reverence that makes his critics prime for public immolation.
Yet Dylan's work -- from his groundbreaking, Earth-shaking early material to his 35th studio album Tempest released earlier this year -- is generally held in the highest regard (though there have been a few lows along the way).
His latest record, of which we got nary a single note Friday night, is a surprisingly delightful tour-de-force that combines New Orleans gumbo rock, the ghost of John Lennon and a 13-minute opus about the Titanic. If anyone was going to pull it off with singular poetic brilliance, it was Dylan.
On the flip side, Dylan's live performances of late (read: the last decade or so) have been uneven.
Dylan's mumble-jumble rambling style certainly has its charms, but Friday night at Rogers Arena, Dylan dazzled as many as he left cold with a set predictably unpredictable and rough-around-the-edges.
Kicking off with a bluesy Watchin' The River Flow, Dylan took the stage sporting white hat and dark suit, staunchly anchored behind the keys.
Lit by just a few dim flood lights peppered around the stage and surrounded by black curtains, the man formerly known as Robert Zimmerman approached his set as if he was playing a theatre, which may not have been the best fit for a place like Rogers Arena. But the crowd, 8,500 strong, let out a big appreciative holler early on.
Dylan followed with the lovesick folk waltz To Ramona, his voice a deep, vaguely intelligible rasp. When the words failed, Dylan let his harmonica speak in random bursts, which earned another wave of cheers from the crowd.
At that point Dylan took an awkward stance at centre stage for the rolling Things Have Changed, which couldn't have been more timely. Because by then it was clear which side of the fence you were standing on: Either you were truly digging seeing Dylan in a barely recognizable form (cue Like A Rolling Stone), or the disappointment of reality set in.
Lost in the raw, uneven sound mix, Dylan completed the shift to full-on caricature on Tangled Up In Blue, his hollering, whooping delivery garnering bemused looks in the audience, while on Cry A While he barely hit the right notes on his piano.
Dylan regained his composure mid-set with an aching Make You Feel My Love and a rambunctious High Water (For Charley Patton), which his band nailed hard.
Dylan was on and off throughout, which may not have been much of a surprise. But when he hit the right notes, there was magic in the air, glimpses of true greatness that made the trip to see the legend worth enduring some of the more difficult moments.
Because ultimately the opportunities to see a man of Dylan's stature do a rollicking, almost jazzy Highway 61 Revisited or a menacing, stormy Ballad Of A Thin Man are sure to become a rarity in the future.
In the opening slot (if you can call a near full-length set an opening slot), former Dire Straits main man Mark Knopfler left a much different kind of impression.
The legendary axe man's guitar skills were as impeccable as ever, and he weaved his way through a dozen songs with inimitable style and a disconcerting ease.
Backed by an ace seven-piece band, Knopfler opened with What It Is, his classic guitar tone instantly recognizable as it echoed throughout the room.
The stage looked like a museum of vintage amps, each one cooler than the next.
Knopfler was electrifying even when he was unplugged, getting a mighty roar after the bagpipe-laden Privateering, the title track to his latest solo album, followed by a measured, lap steel-tinged Redbud Tree, again with that classic Stratocaster tone coming out of those Marshall amps, Knopfler's fingers perhaps speaking more eloquently than the 63-year-old's voice.
Knopfler was calm and collected, laying into his folky and bluesy grooves slow and steady -- the stripped down guitar, drums and standup bass combo on Song For Sonny Liston, the shuffle and stomp of Marbletown, ending in an extended Celtic flute-and-fiddle jam -- and it all sounded excellent thanks to expert hands on the board at the back of the room.

Sarkozy & Palin - Punked
Pass for Cash
Be Inspired
I sat in on a friends class a few years ago at University of Waterloo. I do not remember what she was taking as her major but I have always taken a liking to university classes no mater what genre. The class I attended this particular day was on focused on Shakespeare. It made me think "Shakespeare is fascinating, I want to be fascinating". I came up with two things inspired by the class. Often, when I am in class, especially when not a registered student, I am inspired by a variety in topics and unexpected ideas of interest.
I used to know someone who constantly surprised me by their lack of motivation to do anything. To go out, to work hard, have dreams, try, do, any of those type of things that involve stimulus or drive. Their lack of inspiration, inspired me, and for that, I am thankful. This is Lackluster.

No Reluctance to release 'Fundamentalist' film
NEW YORK -- Instead of being concerned about the release of "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" so soon after last week's Boston Marathon bombings, the cast says the film presents an opportunity for understanding.
Kiefer Sutherland, known for his terrorist-hunting role on "24," says the attacks of Sept. 11 had a profound effect on him, but he focused on the great loss in this country. He says the new film shows how the attacks had a "ripple effect" that resulted in "the things I hate the most: racism, prejudice, ignorance, fear."
"The script took a look at it from that perspective and I hadn't and I was embarrassed that I hadn't thought about it," he says.
Director Mira Nair adapted "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," also starring Liev Schreiber and Kate Hudson, from the bestselling novel of the same name. It's the tale of a Pakistani man named Changez, played by Riz Ahmed, who returns home after his American dream is crushed following the 9/11 attacks and is now suspected of involvement in the kidnapping of an American in Lahore.
Nair said she saw the film as "a chance to make a modern tale about a young Pakistani who dreams of America but also as a dialogue between America and Pakistan" and an opportunity to erase misunderstanding.
"We are riddled with Islamophobia, we are riddled with xenophobia in many, many ways" she said, adding that she wanted to create "a bridge between two worlds that I know and I love and desperately need to understand each other."
Ahmed said he thinks the recent events have created "an appetite for people to see a film like this."
Nair calls last week's events tragic, but added that "it's another reminder how the suffering that is global, that you see every day in other places in the world, has now become local."
She says what her film does is examine the "mutual suspicion" between cultures and strips it away to show that "we are not so different."

Glorification of Saint Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow, Enlightener of the Aleuts, Apostle to the Americas
Saint Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow, Enlightener of the Aleuts and Apostle to America (in the world John Popov-Veniaminov), was born on August 26, 1797 in the village of Anginsk in the Irkutsk diocese, into the family of a sacristan. The boy mastered his studies at an early age and by age seven, he was reading the Epistle in church. In 1806 they sent him to the Irkutsk seminary. In 1814, the new rector thought it proper to change the surnames of some of the students. John Popov received the surname Veniaminov in honor of the deceased Archbishop Benjamin of Irkutsk (+ July 8, 1814). On May 13, 1817 he was ordained deacon for the Irkutsk Annunciation church, and on May 18, 1821, he was ordained priest.
The missionary service of the future Apostle of America and Siberia began with the year 1823. Father John spent 45 years laboring for the enlightenment of the peoples of Kamchatka, the Aleutian Islands, North America, Yakutsk, the Khabarov frontier, performing his apostolic exploit in severe conditions and at great risks to life. Saint Innocent baptized ten thousand people, and built churches, beside which he founded schools and he himself taught the fundamentals of the Christian life. His knowledge of various crafts and arts aided him in his work.
Father John was a remarkable preacher. During the celebration of the Liturgy, memorial services and the all-night Vigil, he incessantly guided his flock. During his time of endless travels, Father John studied the languages, customs and habits of the peoples, among whom he preached. His work in geography, ethnography and linguistics received worldwide acclaim. He composed an alphabet and grammar for the Aleut language and translated the Catechism, the Gospel and many prayers into that language. One of the finest of his works was the Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of Heaven (1833), translated into the various languages of the peoples of Siberia and appearing in more than 40 editions. Thanks to the toil of Father John, the Yakut people in 1859 first heard the Word of God and divine services in their own native language.
On November 29, 1840, after the death of his wife, Father John was tonsured a monk with the name Innocent by Saint Philaret, the Metropolitan of Moscow, in honor of Saint Innocent of Irkutsk. On December 15, Archimandrite Innocent was consecrated Bishop of Kamchatka, the Kurile and Aleutian Islands. On April 21, 1850 Bishop Innocent was elevated to the rank of archbishop.
By the Providence of God on January 5, 1868, Saint Innocent succeeded Metropolitan Philaret on the Moscow cathedra. Through the Holy Synod, Metropolitan Innocent consolidated the secular missionary efforts of the Russian Church (already in 1839 he had proposed a project for improving the organization of missionary service).
Under the care of Metropolitan Innocent a Missionary Society was created, and the Protection monastery was reorganized for missionary work. In 1870 the Japanese Orthodox Spiritual Mission headed by Archimandrite Nicholas Kasatkin [afterwards Saint Nicholas of Japan, (February 3)] was set up, with whom Saint Innocent had shared much of his own spiritual experience. The guidance by Saint Innocent of the Moscow diocese was also fruitful, by his efforts, the church of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos was built up into the Moscow Spiritual Academy.
Saint Innocent fell asleep in the Lord on March 31, 1879, on Holy Saturday, and was buried at the Holy Spirit Church of the Trinity-Saint Sergius Lavra. On October 6, 1977, Saint Innocent was glorified by the Russian Orthodox Church. His memory is celebrated three times during the year: on March 31, the day of his blessed repose, on October 5 (Synaxis of the Moscow Hierarchs), and on October 6, the day of his glorification.

Ky. Republicans choose Senate leaders
Stivers elected new Senate president
Senate Republicans selected a mountain politician to be their top leader on Tuesday in a move that ensures Kentucky's Appalachian region remains well-represented in the Legislature.
Robert Stivers of Manchester was chosen to become Senate president during a closed caucus in Frankfort. He will replace former Burkesville lawmaker David Williams, who resigned to accept a judicial position in southern Kentucky.
When Stivers officially moves into the role in January, the Appalachian region will have supplied many of the Legislature's top leaders, including Democratic House Speaker Greg Stumbo of Prestonsburg and Democratic House Floor Leader Rocky Adkins of Sandy Hook.
Stivers pledged Tuesday to have an open dialogue with Democratic leaders, including Gov. Steve Beshear, to resolve major issues facing Kentucky. He mentioned specifically pension reforms, unemployment, and shoring up a financially strained Medicaid program.
"We've got real problems that are going to take real people sitting down and coming up with real solutions," Stivers told reporters. "And it's not going to be something that one group can take credit for or take all the blame for. It's going to have to be a kind of a shared sacrifice, and we're going to have to have that type of dialogue between all respective groups."
Senate President Pro Tem Katie Kratz Stine, of Southgate, was unopposed in her re-election to that position. The GOP senators chose Damon Thayer of Georgetown as majority floor leader over David Givens of Greensburg. And they chose Brandon Smith of Hazard, another Appalachian lawmaker, as whip over Jimmy Higdon of Lebanon. Dan Seum of Louisville was re-elected as Republican caucus chairman over challenger Joe Bowen of Owensboro.
Stivers, who has been serving as majority floor leader, won the presidency over independent Sen. Bob Leeper of Paducah. Stivers said he expects Leeper to retain his chairmanship of the powerful Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee.
"From my perspective, Bob Leeper has been a good appropriations and revenue chairman," Stivers said. "I know of no reason to remove Bob Leeper."
Williams, an anti-gambling lawmaker, had led the Senate for more than a decade. Beshear lured him away by offering him a circuit judgeship serving the Burkesville area.
It was Williams' resignation that triggered Tuesday's elections.
Williams had been a hindrance to Beshear on some of his top legislative priorities, including a push to lift a constitutional ban on casino gambling. Beshear has a record of appointing anti-gambling Republicans to more lucrative government positions to get them out of the Senate.
Beshear has been pressing lawmakers to allow gambling in the state since he took office in 2007. He said he's hopeful lawmakers will pass the proposed constitutional amendment after they convene in January. If they do, the issue could be placed on the ballot in 2014 for voters to make the final call.
"That issue shows no signs of going away," said Thayer, a pro-gambling lawmaker who worked closely with Beshear in the last legislative session to try to get a gambling amendment passed.
But Republican insiders are doubtful that the change in Senate leadership will make gambling more likely to pass.
Sen. Tom Buford, R-Nicholasville, said he believes gambling has even less support now than in years past.
Kentucky's top Republican, U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, congratulated Stivers in a statement.
"He will do an outstanding job on behalf of Kentucky, and I have total confidence that he can address the important issues facing the Legislature and help move our state forward," McConnell said. "The people of the commonwealth can be assured that Sen. Stivers and the energized, newly elected Republican leadership team in Frankfort will work hard to tackle the state's most pressing issues."

When thinking about bookish resolutions, I always consider the series that I need to finish up. Quite often I'll power through a series, but occasionally I'll be delayed in picking up sequels for whatever reason. Maybe my tastes change, maybe the next book hasn't been released yet. Whatever the reason, I'm making a comprehensive list of books I need to crack on with!
These books are in no particular order.
The Study Series by Maria V Snyder
About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She'll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace—and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia. And so Yelena chooses to become a food taster. – from Goodreads.com
I read the first book in the series, Poison Study, last year and only yesterday did I finish the second book in the series, Magic Study. I need to get reading the third book in the series, Fire Study, pronto! There are lots of companion books to Yelena's journey that all come under the title of The Chronicles of Ixia, so hopefully, I'll get around to reading those too!
The Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon
In 1945, Claire Randall is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon in Scotland. Innocently she walks through a stone circle in the Highlands and finds herself in a violent skirmish taking place in 1743. Suddenly she is a Sassenach, an outlander, in a country torn by war and by clan feuds. – from Goodreads.com
In 2017, I read both Cross Stitch/Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber, both of which I enjoyed. The Outlander series is actually compromised of eight books in total, and whether I'll end up reading all eight of them, I don't know, but I'm certainly enjoying where the series is at, at the moment.
The Tudor Court Series by Philippa Gregory
Thus, bestselling author Philippa Gregory introduces one of her most unforgettable heroines: Katherine of Aragon. Known to history as the Queen who was pushed off her throne by Anne Boleyn, here is a Katherine the world has forgotten: the enchanting princess that all England loved. – from Goodreads.com
The Tudor Court series begins with The Constant Princess and continues with The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance, all of which I read in 2017. I'm currently reading The Taming of the Queen, which concludes Henry VIII's wives with Katherine Parr. These books thrive on the scandal that drove the Tudor court, and I absolutely love the excitement of the novels that keep the Tudors as some of the most notorious historical figures in British history.
So these conclude the series I need to continue reading in 2018. Have you read any of these books? Or finished any of these series? Let me know in the comments!

Story highlights
Schalke knocked out of German Cup after home defeat to lowly Mainz
Second division club stun Champions League last 16 qualifiers
Caretaker coach Jens Keller tastes defeat in first game after Huub Stevens was sacked
Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich safely through to the last eight
Champions League high-flyers Schalke have been dumped out of the German Cup after a home defeat to lowly Mainz.
Schalke, who reached the last 16 of Europe's elite club competition by topping their group, sacked coach Huub Stevens on Sunday.
And in his first game in charge as caretaker coach Jens Keller saw his side go down 2-1 in the German Cup – a competition they won in 2011 – as an 83rd minute winner from Nicolai Muller settled the tie.
Marco Caligiuri opened the scoring for Mainz in the first half but Dutch international Klaas-Jan Huntelaar equalized for Schalke with 15 minutes to go before Muller struck.
Read: Messi, Puyol and Xavi sign new Barca deals
It continues a miserable run of form that has seen Schalke take just two points from a possible 18 in the Bundesliga. They currently trail league leaders Bayern by 17 points.
Bayern had no such trouble as they beat Augsburg 2-0, though they did play for the majority of the second half with ten men after France international Franck Ribery was sent off.
Mario Gomez registered his fourth goal in six games upon returning from an ankle injury and Switzerland's Xherdan Shaqiri made sure of the win.
There was another shock as Third Division side Offenbach knocked out Bundesliga opposition in the form of Fortuna Dusseldorf. Freiburg beat Karlsruhe 1-0.

Tonight marks the return of alien conquest series V, which is about what happens when the evil lizard people look like Morena Baccarin and can shoot you up with bliss using only their minds. Now's the time to tune in.
What did you miss?
ABC aired four episodes, including the pilot, last year in November. So it would be understandable if you'd forgotten a thing or two. The good news is that you haven't missed enough to make it impossible to catch up. The main things you missed are:
1. The Visitors
Aliens called the V (for "Visitors) show up in a ton of giant ships that hover over all the cities of the world. Their leader, a beautiful woman called Anna, appears on giant spaceship LCD screens and says basically "We come in peace." The Vs want to trade their super-awesome health technology for our toxic waste, which they claim is valuable to them. Sound too good to be true? It is.
2. The Conspiracy And Resistance
Not too surprisingly, the V are conspiring to colonize the Earth and steal all our nice resources (like water). Also, they are ugly lizards under their fake human skin. There are all kinds of creepy moments with the too-nice Vs giving people medical care and setting up a youth exchange program - all the while making evil plans. Anna, who controls the Vs with her "bliss" trick (see video), is in charge of the conspiracy, aided by her super-hot daughter and youth ambassador Lisa.
But luckily there is a resistance group of humans and Vs called the Fifth Column, who are fighting back. Included in this group are a priest named Father Jack, an FBI agent named Erica, a V-gone-native called Ryan (he's married to the human Valerie), and a whole underground group led by the legendary John May.
Also, we know that the V were on Earth for a while before the ships came, stockpiling weapons and making dastardly plans. And the resistance has been around for a while too.
What do you really need to know?
Based on the 1980s miniseries of the same name, V is your basic story of alien conspiracy and resistance. A lot of what's going on will be easy to figure out.
Still, there are a few things you should know if you want to start watching tonight.
1. Erica vs. Tyler
Erica's teen son Tyler is totally obsessed with the V and joins their youth group as soon as he can. He even makes pro-V viral videos and puts them on YouTube. Plus, he and Lisa are hooking up. This has caused a major rift between Tyler and mom Erica, who knows the Vs are secretly trying to take over.
2. The Hybrid Baby
Valerie and Ryan are having a baby. But Valerie doesn't know yet that Ryan is a visitor, so she may be surprised when she gives birth to a half-lizard.
3. Chad's Divided Loyalties
Chad is a TV journalist who gets the first one-on-one interview with Anna, but only after he knuckles under to pressure from the Vs to ask only softball questions. Torn between journalistic integrity and his desire to "get the story," Chad is one of those slippery characters who always seems to be playing both sides.
4. The Health Care Conspiracy
The main way the Vs are buying humans' loyalty is by opening free health clinics and healing people - they can do everything from scrub cancer out of your DNA to cure your paralysis by knitting the nerves together again. They are also trying to slip weird things into vaccines (though the resistance thwarted that plot). The whole show is riding on health care paranoia.
Why start watching now?
With a nice lead-in from scifi paranoia show Lost, it will be easy to sit back and enjoy a two-hour block of scifi on Tuesday nights. But also, tonight's episode, "Welcome to the War," is when the plot of the show is really going to start heating up.
We're going to get deep into the covert games played by the Vs, and find out more about resistance group The Fifth Column (supposedly we'll even meet John May). Also, the shoot-em-up action will be based on interesting human relationships. Erica is going to go ballistic over Tyler's relationship with Lisa. Plus we're going to learn more about Ryan's backstory as Valerie's due date comes nearer.
Plus, V has just brought in a new showrunner, Scott Rosenbaum, whose credits include working on The Shield. Bringing the edgy drama from The Shield into an alien conspiracy show? Sounds like pure win to me. Plus, lizard people. I'm telling you: Check out V after Lost tonight. You may find yourself intrigued.

Peacock's strong outing will likely lead to another start
HOUSTON -- For the second time in a week, an impressive spot start after being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City may net an Astros pitcher a shot in the starting rotation.
Righty Brad Peacock tossed seven innings of three-run ball while striking out a career-high 10 in a 3-2 loss to Minnesota on Sunday, prompting manager Bo Porter not to rule out a full-time starting spot for him down the stretch.
"We're going to deal with the next three days, when we already have scheduled starters," Porter said. "It's an ongoing conversation with myself, [pitching coach] Doug Brocail and [general manager] Jeff [Luhnow]. When we come out of the off-day Thursday, we're going to reset the rotation moving forward from there."
That off-day means Peacock's next outing likely wouldn't be for another week if he gets the starting nod.
Brett Oberholtzer is getting his chance in the rotation after locking down the Orioles last week, leaving only lefty Dallas Keuchel's spot potentially up for grabs with Jordan Lyles, Erik Bedard and Jarred Cosart entrenched as starters after Bud Norris was traded to Baltimore.
In two stints with Houston earlier this year, Peacock was rough around the edges, going 1-3 with an 8.07 ERA in nine appearances (five starts). That led to a lengthy stint in Triple-A, where fastball command was the top priority.
"He was leaving a lot of fastballs up in the zone when he was here," Porter said. "Yesterday, he not only pounded the zone from a strike standpoint, but he pounded the bottom of the zone. When you have his kind of velocity, it makes his breaking stuff that much better, especially down near the knees.
"He did a good job working on his slider, and it complements the breaking ball he has. You then get a tough combination of the curve and slider and mix that in with the changeup, so he can be great."

Sidney Crosby "Winter Classic" Poster – Great Retro Blue Uniform Picture of the Next One
Winter. Snow. Patriotism. Hockey. Sidney Crosby.
It was a day that had a little bit of everything – an electric crowd of more than 71,000 fans at Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium, lots of snow and some great end-to-end hockey.
The memories will last forever because this wasn't a game. It was an event treated as if were the Super Bowl of hockey. To cap it off, the NHL got its Hollywood finish: Sidney Crosby pumping his fists and celebrating his game-winning, shootout goal, the one sent to the Penguins to a 2-1 victory.
Sidney Crosby is believed by many to have innate talent comparable to that of Wayne Gretzky and one day may break Gretzky's NHL scoring records, an assessment that has led to the nickname, The Next One.
The Winter Classic was a memorable event and for many, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This poster celebrates that great day at the rink with absolute perfection. Do not miss your chance of adding this one to your collection. And also in stock, "Winter Classic Panorama":Uncategorized

Who says Canadian Courts are boring?
[1] Paging Dr. Freud. Paging Dr. Freud.
[2] This is yet another case that reveals the ineffectiveness of Family Court in a bitter custody/access dispute, where the parties require therapeutic intervention rather than legal attention. Here, a husband and wife have been marinating in a mutual hatred so intense as to surely amount to a personality disorder requiring treatment.
So begins the decision, Bruni v Bruni, 2010 ONSC 6568 (CanLII), penned by Justice Quinn of the Ontario Superior Court. It is worth going through this piece of juridical writing – despite the lurid details of a messy family dispute, the Justice makes the decision readable and, well, entertaining.
[18] Larry gave evidence that, less than one month later, Catherine, "Tried to run me over with her van."[6]
Footnote: [6] This is always a telltale sign that a husband and wife are drifting apart.
[90] On another occasion in July of 2009, L said to T: "You put shit in this hand and shit in this hand, smack it together, what do you get? T."[30]
Footnote [30] I gather that this is L's version of the Big Bang Theory.
[91] L explained in his evidence that his comments to T were anaemic attempts at humour. They were not intended to be hurtful. I accept his evidence. Mr. L correctly characterized L as a passive man who was not adept at responding to situations involving his post-separation daughter. It is to be remembered that, following separation, L was confronted with an angry, hurt, confused and rebellious daughter who had been receiving advanced animosity-tutoring from C. This would be a difficult situation for even the most talented and perceptive of fathers to overcome. Given L's near-empty parenting toolbox, it is not surprising that he handled the matter awkwardly. Had C fulfilled her dual parental duty to foster and encourage access between Land T and not to speak disparagingly of him in the presence of T, I am confident that this case would have unfolded differently.
9. Spousal support
[158] I come now to the issue of spousal support, historically the roulette of family law (blindfolds, darts and Ouija boards being optional).
[2] At one point in the trial, I asked C: "If you could push a button and make L disappear from the face of the earth, would you push it?" Her I-just-won-a-lottery smile implied the answer that I expected.
[3] I am prepared to certify a class action for the return of all wedding gifts.
[26] The New Shorter Oxford EnglishDictionary defines "dickhead" as "a stupid person." That would not have been my first guess.

Natural stones are products of nature, and no two pieces are exactly alike. These codes are intended as a general guide to how much variation in color, movement, and veining can be expected. All natural stones have unique natural variations and inclusions that are impossible to show in a photograph or sample. For this reason, all stone should be unpacked and inspected prior to installation, as Country Floors cannot accept claims for variation in any stone after install.
- Some Medium and Heavy Duty stones cannot be used in exterior applications in areas that experience freeze/thaw conditions. Please use specific stone in the Usage Guide for this information.
- Some Medium Duty stones may be subject to scratching or etching when used as countertops.
- Light, Medium and Heavy Traffic refer to pedestrian traffic only. If the stone is to be installed in an area with vehicular traffic, please contact a sales representative to inquire about thickness and installation requirements.
- Stone in this group must be sealed periodically as a normal maintenance routine if used in wet areas.
- These materials may contain areas of open or dry seams that can appear dull in reflective light. This is not a defect, but rather an inherent characteristic of the stone.
- White thin-set or mortar is required. This is the case for all limestone, tumbled stones, "antiqued stones" and light color marbles.
- These stones may be characterized by dry seams, pits, and fossils. In polished and honed stones, these areas are often filled at the factory. In rustic or tumbled stones, as well as with some honed limestone, these are often filled with grout during installation. Whether filled at the factory or during installation, the fill can work its way out of the voids. In these instances, it may be necessary to refill these voids as part of a normal maintenance routine.

Amid all the release news was the dispiriting announcement that Guillermo del Toro's "The Hobbit" wouldn't see the light of day for another three years. Turns out that was a typo.
Apparently there was some confusion between the folks at IMAX, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, resulting in a press release saying the first installment of "The Hobbit" would arrive in December 2013, when in reality the film will hit theaters in 2012, according to Heat Vision.
Maybe Andy "Gollum" Serkis knew what he was talking about when he told a gathering of the press at the Tribeca Film Festival this week that he thought shooting was going to begin in May.

Well, if the suggested idiom doesn't work under Windows, I'd argue that either Windows (or possibly Perl) is broken in that regard.
Good luck getting Bill Gates or p5p to acknowledge that their unlink is broken. ;-) The Perl documentation for the unlink function is annoyingly vague: "Deletes a list of files. Returns the number of files successfully deleted.".
The POSIX unlink semantics are clearer, if difficult to implement on non Unix systems, as noted in djgpp POSIX unlink specification:
The POSIX specification requires this removal to be delayed until the file is no longer open. Due to problems with the underlying operating systems, this implementation of unlink does not fully comply with the specs; if the file you want to unlink is open, you're asking for trouble -- how much trouble depends on the underlying OS.
I might add that the ANSI C remove function does not appear to mandate POSIX semantics: calling remove on an open file on Linux works (a la POSIX unlink), while on Windows it fails.
BTW, I found a related discussion of atomic file update in the "Atomic in-place edit" section in This Week on perl5-porters (18-24 November 2002). Not sure if anything was resolved, however. (Update: apart from MJD submitting a Bug report for the Universe :-).
In reply to Re^2: Perl Best Practices book: is this one a best practice or a dodgy practice?

GLENDALE, Ariz., Aug. 31 (UPI) -- Matt Prater made a 44-yard field goal as time expired and Omar Bolden returned a kick 103 yards for a touchdown in Denver's 16-13 pre-season win over Arizona.
Prater's game-winning kick was his third field goal of the fourth quarter. He also made kicks of 19 and 43 yards.
After Jay Feely's 35-yard field goal tied the score 13-13 with 52 seconds to go, the Broncos needed just three plays to get into position for Prater's game-winner.
Starting from the Denver 20, Adam Weber hit Jeremiah Johnson for a 12-yard gain but his next pass was incomplete. Weber then connected with Greg Orton deep down the right side for a 45-yard gain to the Arizona 32, setting up Prater's final kick.
The Cardinals got the only points of the first half when Michal Floyd scored on a 22-yard pass play from Ryan Lindley early in the second quarter.
Arizona went up 10-0 on Feely's 41-yard third-quarter field goal but Bolden took the ensuing kickoff and started up the middle. He then angled to the right and scored on a run that covered 103 yards.
Denver went up 13-10 on Prater first two field goals before Feely made the score 13-13.

I have 2 SQL Servers set up with a database in an AlwaysOn Availability Group.
I also have jobs set up which run against the database. During a failover how do I ensure the jobs will continue to run on the secondary server? Do I need to install the jobs and SSIS packages on both machines and manually disable them on the secondary machine... then manually enable them in the case of a failover? Or is there built in functionality to handle this?

For a long time, racers have known that one of the best things to do to an engine to improve its performance is to stabilize the ignition timing. The MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger system does exactly that by using four magnets embedded in an aluminum wheel. Although similar in appearance to other crank triggers, the MSD Flying Magnet design works on a different principle. Most crank triggers have a wheel, with steel studs sticking out, bolted to the harmonic balancer. As the crankshaft turns, the studs pass by a stationary magnetic pick-up, triggering the ignition. This pick-up can be triggered by other bolts, debris or even vibrations which will cause a loss of power or engine damage. The MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger uses four magnets secured in the aluminum trigger wheel that pass by a stationary non-magnetic pick-up to trigger the ignition. This "flying magnet" design produces accurate trigger signals and the non-magnetic pick-up cannot be false triggered. Each Flying Magnet Crank Trigger includes a two-piece mounting bracket for the non-magnetic pick-up that in most cases will work on either the passenger side or driver's side of the engine (the SB Chrysler and SB Ford brackets mount on only one side). The CNC-machined aluminum bracket securely holds the pick-up in place and is slotted to provide a wide range of timing adjustment. Spacers are included so you can mount the bracket on engines with standard motor mounts or engines with a .25" motor plate. These systems will trigger MSD 6, 7 and 8 Series Ignitions and all MSD Timing Accessories.
- 7" Diameter
- Absolutely the most accurate way to trigger the ignition.

This release of LightCMS brings you a couple of often-requested, awesome new features! Global Elements give you the ability to share an element across pages by adding the element token to the template, and the secure login feature is now controlled at the site level instead of the account level. Keep reading to learn more about these features and the other things you'll find in this release.
This LightCMS release brings an exciting new feature that lets you add visual interest to your blog lists: blog thumbnail images. This release also brings a new default LightCMS template and the introduction of the LightCMS Developer Plan Starter program. Keep reading to learn more.
We're excited to announce several highly-requested blog features and we know you're going to love them as well! These features add functionality to give you greater control of when blog posts are published as well as customization ability and additional SEO related enhancements. Here's more detail about each of the features coming in our 2014.6 release.
We're excited to tell you about a couple of new features that went live today. First, we've added built-in support for Facebook Comments to our blog platform. Second, we've expanded the capabilities of our own Magic Drop technology, released last month.
Cool winds are a-blowin' and summer is all but a memory now. Yet, we're still squeezing more features into the great Summer of Love before it winds down completely. On Tuesday October 9, 2012, we'll be adding a few new niceties to the platform.
The temperatures have dropped below 100 degrees but the Summer of Love is still going strong. Last week we slipped in a nice addition that we wanted to point out. It's the ability to add meta description content to blog posts and calendar events.
Another hot new release is rolling out today as a part of LightCMS's Summer of Love. We're bringing even more love to the blog element with blog Pingbacks, which launched this morning. Existing blog elements will have Pingbacks disabled by default so that nothing will change for current blogs.
Love is in the air. Can you feel it? This week we're bringing a whole lotta love to the LightCMS blog element with a very highly-requested feature we know you're going to love.
As we mentioned a week or so ago, this summer is special for LightCMS. It's the Summer of Love — a summer full of new features for the LightCMS platform. And though it's technically not quite summer yet, we're kicking things off this week with a new release, scheduled for Wednesday, June 6th.
We released a nifty new feature today. It's the "Archive By Year" blog skin. We've had our "Archive By Month" blog skin for awhile, but for blogs that may not post as frequently, dividing posts up into months isn't always ideal.
We released a major upgrade to LightCMS today. This upgrade is an all-out assault on spam comments and it gives you more control over all comments left on your sites. Here's a look at what's new. The New Comment Control Menu Every comment on your blog now has its own control menu.

You can tell it's getting into riding season now as BMW Motorrad is picking up steam in its promo activities. They're dropping BMW Sauber F1 Team driver Nick Heidfeld onto a spankin' new BMW HP2 Megamoto for some cross corporate shilling. We've been enjoying the twin delights of two-wheeled transport and 50+ MPG fuel consumption since the snow cleared from the streets. Despite the fun had on an old bike, there's nothing quite like a new one, and above that, there's nothing quite like a BMW. While they are great bikes, they're quite spendy, so if you're a member of the armed services, we've got some good news for you.
BMW will be offering discounts for US armed forces members, both active and retired, on its line of motorcycles. Discounts for the K-Series run $500, the R-Series $400, and both G- and F-Series at $250. We'd give our eye-teeth for a G-Series fully outfitted for all-road duty, but alas, even $250 off won't put it into a non-stratospheric price range. Oh by the way, if you were interested, that HP2 Megamoto — $25,000+. [Source: BMW]

Observations on daily rainfall events in the KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg
W Nel
Department of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Fort Hare, Alice 5700, South Africa
Five-minute rainfall data measured at different stations in the KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg are presented and although the data are limited this paper is the first to analyse individual rainfall events in the area. The occurrence of rain days in the Drakensberg shows strong seasonality with most rain recorded during the summer months. Although the number of rain days as well as the number of rainfall events increases with an increase in altitude, the mean daily rainfall and mean rainfall generated from individual events is less on the escarpment than in the foothills. All stations show a high percentage of rain days with single rainfall events as well as a high proportion of rainfall received from events generating more than 10 mm, but the escarpment station receives less rainfall from these events than the stations in the foothills. It is known that rainfall in the Drakensberg is mostly generated from thunderstorms, and data presented here indicate that rainfall predominately occurs in the late afternoon/early evening when sufficient cooling has possibly taken place for condensation and cloud formation to occur.
