Best wishes ...
May I take the opportunity of again recommending The Tridentine Rite Blog. Not only can one look at its Sunday-by-Sunday explanations of the Real and Organic Calendar; you can of course look back to last year and see what it says about an up-coming day.
I believe it is the decently humble custom of the Roman Catholic Church, in countries where the predominant Christian Calendar is Julian, to require even Latins to observe the Julian Easter. Two queries: does this principle extend to the fixed festivals; and: do Anglican chaplaincies in these countries follow the same humane and courteous principle? Or do we behave in accordance with our instinctive English and Anglican cultural arrogance?

New year? It's not Lady Day yet in any calendar.

Sir Watkin, I am glad someone pointed that out. I have (privately) celebrated New Year on 25th March for many years, though initially this was because it was the New Year in Gondor...

January 14th - Gregorian Calendar = January 01 - Julian Calendar.

Yes- New Year in England March 25th
as also Rome, but Papal Letters were issued using December 25th as New Year's Day, while in parts of France it was Easter that started the year and elsewhere in Europe September 1st. What richness we have lost through sterile uniformity.

It's only those godly bankers who keep Julian New year Lady Day on 6th April. Or is it a couple of days out now?

One day out, I think - the financial year kept a leap year in 1800 but not 1900.

How right V.d.P. is!
The present age demands unity where variety is desirable, whilst sowing chaos where unity is essential. A genius for getting things not just wrong, but precisely wrong. How the demons must laugh at us.
Patricius may be pleased to know that I have an aunt who keeps 25th March as New Year's Day - and according to the Julian calendar.

Esteemed Fr. John,
Thank you for the 'plug'.
Sir Watkin,
Is your aunt looking to marry by any chance - sounds my type of gel!

THE FEARLESS CONSUMER- Taking a bath: The price of finessing permits
"You don't need permits."
Unless the building inspector is talking, those can be dangerous words. Just ask Charlottesville resident Ellen Pratt, who claims that's what Dominick Wells, owner of D & L Drywall, told her when she asked him for an estimate to refinish her basement.
According to Pratt, Wells "assured" her that because she already had water and electric in the basement, permits were unnecessary– even though, according to the contract both sides signed last May 16, he would be framing and installing drywall for a bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room; installing all bathroom and kitchen fixtures; removing the stairs; wiring for and installing electrical outlets, recessed lighting, and switches; and installing heating vents and a dropped ceiling.
Pratt claims Wells told her he'd done "a hundred basements and had never needed permits."
Right then she should have called the City's Department of Neighborhood Services (or, if she lived in the County, the Department of Building Code Services).
Instead, she paid Wells $6,000 of his $13,000 estimate. On June 8, when he had finished the rough-in plumbing, electric, and framing and was ready to install the drywall, she paid him another $4,300.
One week later, Pratt says, she came home to find a stop-work order issued by the City for work begun without permits.
"I couldn't get Wells to make an appointment to meet me at City Hall," she claims, so she applied for the permits herself on June 20 and was told it would probably be three weeks before the necessary electrical and plumbing permits could be issued.
Pratt says she tried "numerous" times over the next three weeks to arrange a face-to-face meeting with Wells, but was unsuccessful. At one point she asked him to return her second payment "until things could get straightened out," but she claims Wells replied that "all the money had been spent on materials."
When the permits were finally issued, Pratt arranged for an inspection of the work to date. A number of items failed, and it cost $1,800 to have the job redone by a licensed electrician and a licensed plumber– which, it turns out, Wells isn't. Licensed, that is: the state revoked his contractor's license two years ago. Even so, "Licensed and Insured" is stamped beneath his business name on the contract he signed with Pratt.
The state's Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) has two disciplinary actions on file for Wells. In the first, Wells contracted to remodel a basement in the Shenandoah Valley town of Mount Crawford in February 2001. The job bore similarities to Pratt's except it included creating a living room and two bedrooms. In a summary of its September 2002 fact-finding conference, the DPOR's Board for Contractors stated, "Mr. Wells admitted that he did not intend to obtain a permit for this job even though he knew one was required."
Wells claimed that the homeowner "instructed him not to," but the report states that the homeowner "denied such instruction and said that Mr. Wells informed him that no permits were necessary." Wells was found guilty of six counts in all– including using an unlicensed electrician as a subcontractor– and fined $4,450.
In 2004, Wells was found guilty of three counts, including failure to obtain a Class B contractor's license, which was required because of the scope (i.e., more than $7,500) of a 2001 bathroom-remodeling job in Bridgewater. He was fined $1,750 and ordered to successfully complete a DPOR basic contracting licensing class within six months or lose his license. Apparently he didn't comply with the order, because his license was revoked on October 18, 2004.
Pratt and her lawyer are knee-deep in negotiations with Wells and may proceed to court. Contacted for this article, Wells said, "I'm trying to return money to her [Pratt]," and claims he has submitted five different proposals to her lawyer. When I asked to see the proposals, he first said he would give me copies but called back to say it was none of my business.
Meanwhile, Wells will meet another former client, Hometown Magazines, in County General District Court on October 26. I'll report on the outcome of that case, along with Pratt's, in a future column.

Even though "The Tourist" might have wandered off onto some side street never to be seen again, the movie's stars - Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie - are still highly sought after by the movie going public.
The two Hollywood mega-stars have been named the most popular actors in the U.S., reports Daily Finance.
Depp supplanted Clint Eastwood and Jolie overtook Sandra Bullock to claim the top spots on the list. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star faced stiff competition in the forms of Denzel Washington and the legendary John Wayne, while the "Salt" headliner beat American sweethearts Bullock and Julia Roberts for her title.
U.S. & World
Both Depp and Jolie reaped the financial awards of their popularity, with Depp topping the list of Hollywood's most highly paid actors for 2010, making $75 million over the last year. Jolie came in sixth on the list of highest-paid actresses, netting $20 million for the year ending June 2010.
The results came from an online survey conducted of 2,300 adults by Harris Interactive Poll.

The suspect in an argument and gunfire at a Houston-area community college that left him and two other men shot has been booked into jail.
Harris County Jail records show 22-year-old Carlton Berry was booked Wednesday on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He has a Thursday court date.
Online jail records did not list an attorney for Berry, who's held on $60,000 bond over Tuesday's gunfire at the North Harris campus of Lone Star College. Investigators are seeking what prompted the dispute.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The sheriff's office did not immediately provide details Wednesday on conditions of Berry, a man he allegedly argued with and a maintenance worker caught in the crossfire.
Details haven't been released on a female college student who suffered a medical problem during the incident.

A man has admitted to smuggling thousands of dollars' worth of dried sea cucumbers into the U.S. from Mexico, according to federal officials.
On Thursday, Cheng Zhuo Liu, 50, of Chula Vista, Calif. appeared in federal court in San Diego. Liu pleaded guilty to smuggling 100 pounds of the endangered species on Oct. 3, 2013 by hiding them in his Hyundai's spare tire area, according to U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy.
That amount of sea cucumbers has a market value of between $5,000 and $10,000.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The marine animals are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, so those who import them into the U.S. need a permit.
Duffy said Liu admitted he didn't have any permits.
A black market has grown around the illegal sea cucumber trade in Asia, where Duffy said a pound might sell for $300.
Liu agreed to forfeit the sea cucumber seized. He faces a maxiumum sentence of five years in prison and a $20,000 fine on June 9.
Dried sea cucumber is used in Chinese cuisine as hoi sam, as well as for medicinal purposes.
Smuggling the animals has become a problem in Indonesia, Japan, Sri Lanka and Mexico. In the Caribbean Sea off the Yucatan Peninsula, illegal harvesting has decimated the sea cucumber populations. Rival gangs have clashed for control of the harvest, according to the U.S. Attorney.
Sea cucumbers have long, leathery bodies and are found on the ocean flood worldwide. The species Liu had is typically found in the Pacific Coast of Mexico, Central and South America, the Biodiversity Heritage Library says.

When a record label releases a food-eating iPhone game, it doesn't sound like a perfect fit. Unless the label is Dine Alone Records, that is.
"Remember, only junk food is invited to this party of the mouth," the promotional video exclaims.
If you feed the character enough food—"Fatten him up until he blows up"—you're given access to download songs from artists on the Dine Alone label, including City and Colour and Yukon Blonde.
But the root of the Dine Alone iPhone game lies within a side-project: D.A. Foods.
"It's good way to get brand out," says Joel Carriere, founder of the Toronto-based independent label. "Everyone loves music and everyone loves to eat."
D.A. Foods will start by making sauces, which they hope to sell to supermarkets and restaurants.
The project is the brainchild of Carriere and Jordan Hastings, the former drummer of the now-defunct Canadian band Alexisonfire, whom Carriere used to manage.
Diversify or die
"We like coming up with new ideas and seeing how far we can take them," Carriere says. "When we can marry different companies, it's fun to do."
It's that kind of entrepreneurial spirit that has helped independent labels to grow, says Derrick Ross, president of Slaight Music.
Ross has been in the music business for decades and now helps fund the recording process for up-and-coming Canadian artists.
Major labels traditionally didn't explore alternative sources of revenue, like t-shirts and concert tickets. But that's changing as the revenues from music sales continue shrinking, Slaight says.
"In the record business funding is always an issue. So if you can sell a creative idea, all the better," Slaight says.
Slaight says D.A. Foods sounds like an interesting idea.
"That's prime example of someone who's thinking ahead," Slaight says of Carriere. "It's not traditional, and if it flops, so what?"
Carriere says it's important for his ventures to be complementary. So far D.A. Foods has made pop-up catering appearances at Dine Alone events, something Carriere hopes to grow going forward.
The primary focus of Dine Alone is still the music. But it's also important to build businesses that are complementary, Carriere says. "The cross-promotion opportunities are endless," he says.
"Music is the attraction that all of the other things like t-shirts and concert tickets rely on," Ross says.
Indie lifestyle
John Higney says it's important for a label to identify the lifestyle of independent music fans to successfully cross-promote.
"MuchMusic, MTV, they realized 20 years ago that what they're involved in is lifestyle marketing," says Higney, a music industry instructor at Carleton University.
"So many people that are into indie music are into food," Higney says. "It becomes one of these ancillary lifestyle things that go along with indie music—like craft beers."
For example, breweries like Beau's and Kichesippi sponsor indie music events in Ottawa, he says, and food is a logical next step.
Carriere is optimistic about the possibilities. "It's a new world we're getting into and it's kind of exciting. Who knows what we can do? With an idea anything is possible."

So I'm sitting here with my internet connection flicking ON and OFF and trying almost-and-mostly valiantly to resist running to make Vichyssoise at such an hour of the night that I should be working. But then I remember that brownies (or Ginger-browdnies as they might better be called) require nothing like reliable wi-fi to enjoy at all. They don't even require that much to talk about. So fire up the notepad I do, and here they are.

When your dog or cat begins to drip or leak urine, it can cause great concern for you and for your pet. They do not wish to urinate in the house or on their bed, yet they cannot control their own bodily functions properly. Urinary incontinence is the involuntary passing or leakage of urine and occurs in 20% of dogs at some point in their lifetime, and less frequently in cats. (Marking & spraying, frequent urination, and submissive urination are not considered urinary incontinence).
A weak bladder sphincter is the most common cause of incontinence. Spayed females are most susceptible to a weakened bladder sphincter due to low estrogen levels, along with other factor, and can be affected at any age after spaying. , Male dogs can develop weakened sphincters as well – typically older male dogs.
Only Natural Pet Incontinence Homeopathic is a safe, effective remedy for use with pets experiencing leaking and incontinence. This formula is a combination of homeopathic ingredients developed by our holistic veterinarian, Dr. Jean Hofve. It can safely be used long-term for pets with a chronic incontinence problem.
Like people, pets are subject to anxiety and stress, and it is not pleasant for them either. Taking steps to reduce your pet's stress can go a long way towards keeping them healthy. Some pets seem to be more naturally high-strung, and have a greater tendency to feel anxious, which may be a breed-specific quality or may result from their life history – sadly common with our rescued companions. Environmental stress comes in many forms, including major life changes, acute stress events, and daily stress in home and relationships.
Most pets experience common situational stressors, like going to the vet's office, car travel, thunderstorms, boarding, or visitors in the home. Whether your pet's stress is part of their nature or comes from a specific experience, this homeopathic formula can be a useful tool for helping them cope with it.
Only Natural Pet Anxiety & Stress Homeopathic is a safe, effective remedy for use with pets exhibiting nervousness and anxious behavior. This formula is a combination of homeopathic ingredients developed by our holistic veterinarian, Dr. Jean Hofve. It can safely be used in any situation which causes stress for your pet.
There are very few pets that don't itch now and then, and the occasional scratching here and there is not unusual. But when it becomes frequent and/or you see visible skin and coat irritations, you may have a health condition that needs addressing. Constant scratching is not pleasant for the pet or for you, so finding a solution is important.
There are many potential causes for a pet's skin irritations or itching, the most common of which is allergies. It is lways important to try and determine the cause and address that issue, and the treatment often begins with a healthier diet and an essential fatty acid supplement (like fish oil). Whatever the cause, this homeopathic formula can be a good way to help relieve the irritation and itchiness while you address the underlying cause.
Only Natural Pet Skin & Itch Homeopathic is a safe, effective remedy to provide relief for skin irritations such and itching, scratching, and hot spots due to allergies or other causes. This formula is a combination of homeopathic ingredients developed by our holistic veterinarian, Dr. Jean Hofve.

Eric Bana is no stranger to action heroism. After "Hulk," "Troy" and "Star Trek," the Australian star knows his way around a pulled-punch, a roundhouse kick and a blank-loaded 9mm.
But in his new film, "Hanna," Bana's action moves ride shotgun to Saoirse Ronan who stars as a young assassin trained by her father in the wilds of Finland to be the ultimate weapon. Think of her as baby Bourne adrift in a land of the Brothers Grimm; a motherless girl on the brink of womanhood with an evil queen (Cate Blanchett) bent on destruction and dominance.
Sitting down to speak with Bana, Popcorn Biz learns that director Joe Wright ("Atonement") "pitched [the film] to me as a fairy tale. I loved the script, thought it was just a really good thriller and I loved the way pieces of information slowly released like a deck of cards. But when I spoke to Joe and he explained the fairy-tale-gone-wrong aspects, then I really got excited."
U.S. & World
He said he was fascinated that the movie "followed a character normally played by a 30-year-old guy but it's a 16-year-old girl," still, that didn't mean Bana was set dressing. One of the film's highlights is a sequence we're calling "The 'Goodfellas' Fight Scene;" a full-on melee brawl filmed in a single extraordinary take with Bana at the center.
"It was a lot of fun," the actor grins. "Joe pulled me aside a week before and said, 'Look, this fight is gonna be steadicam, one shot,' and I said, 'Uhhh, okay.' I didn't have a lot of time to prepare but I was honored. You rarely get that opportunity. Fights in movies are usually assembled by editors so a lot of times all the hard work you put into the choreography is for nothing because it's all cut up. In that case, the stakes were high because we only had about 45 minutes to get the shot. I think we did, like, six takes and the second take is in the film."
Having gone through hours of fight training, we wondered how Bana would fair in a real life tussle.
"I'd love to say that it would come in handy but it probably wouldn't. It might even be a hindrance," Bana laughs, saying he'd resort to an old classic if push came to shove. "Kick to the balls," he decrees. "It works. Ask Saoirse. She caught me a couple of times but we soldiered on."
Considering "Hanna" mirrors Jason Bourne is several wonderful ways, we asked Bana if he had any casting suggestions for the series' continuation sans Matt Damon, "The Bourne Legacy."
"To me, Matt's still the guy," Bana shrugs before his eyes light up with a suggestion. "Saoirse!" he beams. "There you go! She'd kick his ass, I think."
"Hanna" opens April 8.

Wladimir Klitschko wants to fight in U.S. again
NEW YORK — Wladimir Klitschko knows he has an image problem with fans in the United States, who for the most part pay the heavyweight champion little attention.
He wants to change that, though not at the expense of his decade-long winning streak or his collection of heavyweight titles.
"I understand the criticism that the fights are lopsided and kind of boring. I'm getting it," Klitschko said Monday. "But it's not so simple."
Not when Klitschko is matched up with the likes of Alex Leapai, whose only real claim to fame is that he's the WBO's mandatory No. 1 challenger. Klitschko will be an overwhelming favorite when he takes on Leapai, a native of Samoa who lives in Australia, on April 26 in in Oberhausen, Germany.
It will be the 25th heavyweight title bout for Klitschko, who has dominated most opponents with his size and reach. Once again, it will be outside the United States and in Germany, where the heavyweight is extremely popular.
"I'm missing the fans in the U.S.," Klitschko said in an interview with The Associated Press. "The fan base is huge here and I would love to fight back in the States."
Klitschko said that could happen after the Leapai fight, when he is expected to meet the winner of a planned fight between contenders Bermane Stiverne and Cristobal Arreola. That fight, which has yet to be signed, was ordered by the WBC for the title vacated by Klitschko's brother, Vitali, who resigned the belt to focus on leading the opposition political party in strife-torn Ukraine.
"I want to fight here but I need a broadcaster, either Showtime or HBO, and I need an arena," Klitschko said. "Of course I also need an opponent who is interesting to fans. I think the Arreola-Stiverne winner could be a good choice."
The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Klitschko is coming off an easy win over Alexander Povetkin on Oct. 5 in Moscow, a fight where Povetkin was knocked down four times and didn't win a round. Klitschko was at his dominating best, but his cautious style doesn't make for action fights and doesn't win fans.
Klitschko, who has a home in Florida and also spends time in California, was in New York to attend the Super Bowl and draw attention to the situation in Ukraine, where pro-Western protesters have clashed with the government over the lack of democracy in the country.
Vitali Klitschko is a main opposition leader and announced presidential contender, who retired to devote himself to his native land.
"It's a critical situation that can change in the blink of an eye," said Klitschko, who was with his brother in Ukraine last week. "We don't have democracy and we definitely don't have a free press. I just hope the democracies of the world see what is going on."

Kids are All Right, The (2010)Reviewed By brianorndorf
Posted 07/16/10 07:57:59
(Worth A Look)
"The Kids Are All Right" is a striking film, though not due to any type of emotional hurricanes or drastic turns of fate. It's frequently mesmerizing in the manner it observes a longstanding domestic commitment, following a married couple through the rigors of parenting teens, the strain of intimacy issues, and the irritation of habits. Writer/director Lisa Cholodenko brilliantly observes a homestead rocked by insecurity and complacency, making a vital, emotionally sound statement on the fragility of feelings and the strength of commitment, regardless of sexual orientation.Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore) are a married couple struggling with household turmoil caused by their teenaged kids, Joni (Mia Wasikowska, "Alice in Wonderland") and Laser (Josh Hutcherson, "Journey to the Center of the Earth"). Curious about their history, the siblings locate Paul (Mark Ruffalo), a hippy-dippy organic dude who long ago donated sperm to a clinic for some extra bucks. Paul, delighted with the opportunity to meet the teens, takes to a fatherly role quickly, invading the family with his permissive way, which drives control-freak Nic crazy, while Jules takes a more sexually responsive path, succumbing to Paul's other hobby: seducing women.
Through her work on the pictures "High Art" and "Laurel Canyon," Cholodenko has revealed a fascination for nasty acts of relationship disruption. "Kids Are All Right" transfers the action from a slightly hedonistic history to the suburbs, meeting Nic and Jules as they enjoy a functional relationship ripe with communication, happiness, and family activity. The introductory scenes with the couple inside the married zone are tremendously observed, capturing the routine of commitment, which both amplifies and mummifies feelings of love and passion. The script (co-written by Stuart Blumberg) treats the lesbians as any other couple, with only their choice in adult movies (men on men) separating them from the neighbors -- a balanced marital representation that made me root for Cholodenko, who doesn't feel the need to blast the same sex angle at top volume to attract attention. The lived-in quality to the filmmaking is outstanding.
As men typically are, Paul is the spoiler character, assuming he's been handed a free pass to join a family that's not his, through kids he doesn't know in the least. He's obliging, scruffily sexy (looking as though he stepped out of Nic and Jules's porno DVDs), and unaware of his heart's desire, making him dangerous to Nic's tightly wound sense of command. Ruffalo delivers the correct performance beats as the hazy object of desire, but Paul is a troubling character to process, and perhaps less explored in the finished film than Cholodenko was intending. He's a bit of a snake. A sympathetic snake, but an all-hands serpent nonetheless, using his looks and manly, deodorant-free presence to summon chaos he doesn't fully understand. The seducer finds he has a taste for the family life, but his acts of invasion are tossed aside in the end, which makes a final point for Paul, just not a satisfying one.Better is the one-sided tug of war between Nic and Jules, who express themselves with delightful character nuance, backed by confident, natural performances. Their story is founded in Cholodenko's real life, and that reflection is the film's greatest achievement, bringing an authentic sense of soul to the couple, who struggle, fail, and love with a realism that takes "The Kids Are All Right" somewhere amazing, beyond the dull routine of broken hearts and clichéd dysfunction.

No need to apologize for this piece!
If you haven't guessed, it is inspired by Justin Bieber's Sorry.
I'm not sorry that this piece has an awesome beat, that the accompaniment sounds like current pop music hits, or that the melody is super catchy.
The piano part has cool pop-style syncopated rhythms. It features some nice block chords in the bridge. And it comes in two different difficulties – Early and Late Intermediate.
Watch the video below to see the piece performed by Sam, one of our students.
Piano Plus Playback
This piece is from the awesome Piano Plus Playback series. That means it is specially crafted to be performed with a playback: an .mp3 accompaniment.
How does it work?
It's quite simple. You learn the piece from the sheet music just like you would learn any other piece. Except that once you've learned it, you can turn on the playback to accompany you – and you'll sound that much more amazing. The playback comes as an .mp3 file, so all you need is something to play it on (like your phone) and a loudspeaker. Instant awesome.
What are the advantages to compared to regular piano pieces?
Aside from the fact that it's incredibly fun and satisfying to play with the playback – the biggest advantage is that you get to work on your ensemble playing: your ability to play together with other musicians. Of course, a playback will never be responsive the way playing with other people live would be, but it includes instruments and sounds that you wouldn't normally get to play with otherwise (unless you can afford a backing orchestra).
It also makes for a great recital piece. Can you imagine how much this piece would stand out at a student recital?
What's included?
Every Piano Plus Playback piece includes the following files:
- Sheet Music: A score of the piano part.
- Fullspeed Playback: You would use this for your performances.
- 90% Playback: A slightly slower version, mainly for practicing purposes. Not recommended for performing with.
- Metronome Version: Just the piano part plus a metronome, so you can hear your part and check your progress.
- Background Images: Two different background images that match the theme and mood of the piece. You can use these if you want to use a projector to add a visual element to your performance. (The official music video, as seen above, uses these background images).
- Original Manuscript: A scan of the original handwritten score and notes of the composer. (not all Piano Plus Playback pieces contain this)

Make Your Very Own Toposcope
A toposcope is a marker that is placed on the top of a hill or other elevated position to show the direction and distance to notable locations which can be seen from that point. Toposcopes can usually be found at popular vantage points to help you spot nearby locations which can be observed from that position.
If your favorite hill or elevated position doesn't have its own toposcope then don't worry as you can now make your own with this new Toposcope Maker. The Toposcope Maker is a simple to use tool which helps you make your very own handy guide as to what can be seen from any location on Earth.
To create your own toposcope for an elevated position you first need to click on the provided map to show your central position. You can then add nearby points of interest to your toposcope by selecting the marker option from the map toolbox and clicking the POI's location on the map. A line will then be added to the map showing the direction and distance to your added point of interest. You can edit the text label on the line to add a label for your point of interest. You can then continue to add as many other points of interest to your topscope as you want.

Today I am posting about my new internship opportunity with the great folks at FWIX (Feeds with in the Mix ) This is a great opportunity for me to get my foot in the door with a start up company. I participated in Start up Weekend Detroit and I know how hard it is to start a company from scratch. So this is providing me insight and input into the creation of this website as well as any questions or concerns I may have
FWIX is a blog aggregator. So it takes all the best news stories and blogs and puts it on the homepage. This is great because it is a mix of blogs and sometimes actual news stories. To do this, Fwix pulls from thousands of sources like Yelp, Twitter, local newspapers, Zvents and now, TicketStumbler.
To make things simple. I am writing about how to use FWIX because sometimes there is some confusion. This technology is ever changing and evolving so I asked for them to create neighborhoods. Since they would like to be your local news stand. I contributed to the neighborhood idea. So you can add me to your neighborhood or visit my page for more clarity then hit add neighbor.
You are probably wondering why you would want to comment twice? They have a badge which you can add to your blog similar to the one I have on mine. So this drives traffic to your blog and if it is chosen that day to be on the homepage you will get more traffic. I am asking the same thing but I think they just want you to add more spice to a centrally located page.
Since there are different users on FWIX then necessarily who your audience is. You can get more traffic to your blog this way. Plus, who wants to hear all the doom and gloom. When you create your own content and their isn't doom and gloom people in Detroit can see a different side of things. Which maybe would have been missed.
I encourage everyone to participate. It is a young company with lots of goals and they even have an Iphone app. Who doesn't love an Iphone app? Well other than the people like myself who don't have a smart phone?
This app is cool because it will be able to tell you where the HOT SPOTS are in the city you are in. Who wouldn't want to know where to avoid if you don't want to deal with crowds or if you want to be in the heart of the city where the cool stuff is going on. They also have a Blackberry one in the works. Regional news feeds come to your phone! How cool is that?
So do you think this cool? Do you think this is different from what you have seen before? Could you help me to spread the word on this technology? They are ever changing and if you can help with any ideas where I might be missing then you can just let me know. They were also featured in Techcrunch and this is what is in Crunchbase!
I prefer to be the leader of change instead of waiting for something to happen! What do you think? If you are looking for Detroit, scroll down and it is in the bottom right corner to click on Detroit.
Let's work together to show everyone Detroit is doing good things together! Let's collaborate and discuss issues which are important to us! Let's make this great! New beginnings is what everyone is looking for and with this fresh out look let's create something positive.

6 locals nominated to service academies
Six Chugiak-Eagle River students were among 37 Alaska high school seniors nominated to U.S. service academies on Monday, Jan. 23 by Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
"This year's nominees are stellar candidates who embody the leadership capabilities and strong characters we expect from our men and women in uniform," Murkowski said in a press release. "It is a privilege to nominate such accomplished Alaskans for admission to our service academies."
Among those nominated were Eagle River's Evdokyia Hail (Air Force Academy), Veronica Morthorpe (Air Force Academy), Kevin Greco (U.S. Merchant Marine Academy), Eric Guinn (U.S. Military Academy) and O.J. Hall (U.S. Military Academy), along with Chugiak's Shena Cousens (U.S. Military Academy).
Nominees were selected based on their academic record, extracurricular activities and potential for leadership. Sen. Murkowski's nominees will now compete against other nationwide candidates for a space in the entering class. A congressional nomination does not guarantee admission to a service academy; service academies will make the final decisions.

All is Quiet on the Yankee Front
"What a mix we have goin' on for the last two innings.
Sitting alone upstairs, owner Gary Wheeler…reportedly has already sold his ball club, the Tigers, to the corporate group in the box to his left.
Now an unconfirmed report beginning to ripple the water…that the corporate's first business…would be to trade Billy Chapel when the season is over.
So as so often happens in a ball game, there are so many other undercurrents; so many more things that meet the eye." – Vin Scully in "For Love of the Game" (1999)
The biggest move the Yankees made last off-season was the signing of Rafael Soriano – and some might argue that it wasn't even a big signing at all. Aside from that and maybe the minor acquisition of Russell Martin, the Yankees who are normally alive during the winter meetings were basically dormant.
The same can be said about this off-season, thus far.
Baseball's winter meetings kicked off this past Monday in Dallas and there has not been much to report on as far as the Bronx Bombers are concerned. The Yankee brass has not yet signed or agreed to terms with any of the top free agents.
It doesn't mean they haven't tried however, winning the bidding to first negotiate with Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima. The 29-year-old middle infielder possesses a lifetime batting average .302 with 149 career home runs, 664 RBIs, and has stolen 134 bases in his career in the Far East.
How that will translate in the United States remains to be seen – as does whether or not the Yankees will sign him. Sources at the meetings said the Yankees may not even land him, despite winning the right to talk with him before any other team.
I mean really, what's the point of signing him anyway? Unless they believe Nakajima is Derek Jeter's heir, then why negotiate with him and attempt to sign him in the first place, especially when starting pitching is more vital to the Yankees than another infielder.
If they do sign him, it could mean the end of Eduardo Nunez's Yankee tenure, one way or another. They could potentially package Nunez in a trade for a starter, then utilize Nakajima as a backup infielder.
Speaking of starting pitching, Mark Buehrle and C.J. Wilson are both off the market, as they have signed lucrative deals with the Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Angels, respectively. Buehrle followed his former manager Ozzie Guillen to South Beach for a contract worth four years and $58 million.
Meanwhile Wilson left the Texas Rangers for the Angels, a division rival. I suppose five years and $77.5 million will make him a richer and happier man – along with having Albert Pujols as a new teammate.
Pujols is coming off statistically his worst season: 147 games played, 37 home runs, 99 RBIs, and a .299 batting average. He is probably the only player in baseball who could call that his worst season, because any average player would kill for that kind of "off year."
Yet he recovered with a remarkable postseason; five homers, 16 RBIs, .356 BA, and his second World Series ring. And after all that, "Phat Albert" took his talents to the west coast.
It surprised me, considering Pujols is basically the face of the Cardinals' organization. He will probably be considered a legend in St. Louis for years to come, despite his abrupt and rather unceremonious departure. He now has the opportunity to make himself a legendary name in Anaheim.
Remember: Reggie Jackson's number is retired in both New York and Oakland.
But I digress; back to the subject at hand: the Yankees and starting pitching. They may have lost out on Buehrle and Wilson but the Bombers may have one last chance to make a splash and sign a big ticket free agent starter:
The 25-year-old phenom holds a professional record of 93-38 with an ERA of 1.99, and has collected several accolades in Japan including the Pacific League MVP twice ('07, '09).
Last year I interviewed Brian Sweeney, a former Seattle Mariners reliever who played with Darvish in Japan on the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. Sweeney called Darvish "a classy individual" and "an excellent player."
Any team could always use a classy and excellent player. He'll most likely fit in wherever he lands.
ESPN insider Buster Olney reported earlier today that the Yankees feel "lukewarm" about bidding on Darvish. Rightfully so, considering the Yankees have had bad luck with highly-regarded Japanese starting pitchers in the past.
Hideki Irabu was thought to be a one of the best hurlers in the Far East, having led the Pacific League in wins (15) in 1994 and ERA in 1995 (2.53) and 1996 (2.40). He also led the PL in strikeouts in 1995 and 1996 (239 in '95 and 167 in '96).
Those league-leading numbers didn't help him when he went 34-35 with a 5.15 ERA in the U.S. – and those nice stats were far from everyone's mind when then-Yankee owner George Steinbrenner called Irabu a "Fat, p***y toad."
Kei Igawa was another pitcher the Yanks had on their radar and eventually signed for five years and $20 million. They had such high aspirations for him, taking his numbers in Japan into account: 86-60, a 3.14 ERA, and 1,174 Ks.
His overall numbers at the MLB level in the U.S., dating back to when the Yanks signed him prior to 2007: 2-4, 6.66 ERA and just 53 strikeouts.
Igawa obviously did not turn out to be what the Yankees had hoped for. In the eyes of most Yankee fans, the team spent $20 million for two wins and a minor league starter.
That being said, anyone can understand the Yanks' reluctance to go after another Japanese starter in Darvish. If the Bombers do go after him and he happens to land in the Bronx he will be expected to accomplish a lot. Maybe not 20 wins in his first season, but a convincing winning record and a low ERA are not out of the question.
And that can be said of whatever team he goes to, not just if he goes to the Yanks.
We probably won't know for a long time where Darvish will go – and we'll have to wait even longer to find out if he lives up to the hype.
I don't usually agree with people associated with the Red Sox – very rarely does that ever happen. But Boston manager-turned-baseball analyst Terry Francona said probably the smartest thing an analyst can say about the winners and losers of the winter meetings:
"Winning the winter meetings doesn't mean winning the pennant."
Francona should know that better than anyone. Looking at last year, the Red Sox won big at the winter meetings and didn't even make the postseason, suffering a gigantic September collapse.
The Red Sox spent a fortune and signed big ticket free agent after big ticket free agent, only to choke worse than Mama Cass did on that…ham sandwich.
Bottom line: on paper does not win ballgames. I hope the Angels and Marlins both understand that.
As for the Yankees: they have a chance to make a splash – and even a chance to make a blockbuster trade – before they head to Spring Training.
But at least for now, like last year, all is quiet on the Yankee front.

Nameplate Mods
So, in WotLK, I set out to find a new nameplate mod. I have two recommendations.
1) caelNameplates
Cael comes as-is: no setup options, though if you reaaally wanted to, you can personalize it by digging through the LUA. I don't recommend editing LUA, however, as you'll have to redo the edits every time you update the mod. Regardless, I like Cael's setup and defaults, and really didn't feel a need to edit it from how it came. It's a great simple nameplate mod for someone who wants to see the plates and not be overwhelmed by them. I used these for quite a while, and plan to keep it installed in case I need to revert back to them for any reason.
2) Tidy Plates + Threat Plates
It's much heavier than the caelNameplates, but it has customization options and a wonderful threat detection system that I have fallen in love with (and it's not as heavy as Aloft!). Based on low, nuetral, or high threat, you can alter settings for colors, scale (bigger vs smaller plates), and opacity. Now, I did have to tweak some of the settings because the default "low" threat value had an annoying bright green glow (which you can see in the screenshot below), and I wanted them smaller than the default, but it didn't take much digging to find and make changes to these settings. It also has different options for tanks, who would be more interested in seeing the ones they DON'T have good threat on, and it can switch each time you change your dualspec. I am currently using this mod.
Ignore the power auras going off around the screen :D Below, the large red bars are ones I have aggro on as a healer; the smaller green ones (I have since removed the green glow) are ones that aren't trying to kill me.
6 comments:
Tidy Plates+threat Plates were a bit awkward at first but I'm getting used to them and I love them. With the mobs making circles around you these days its very difficult to keep agro on everything like the ass-swipe of a bear, so I find it very useful to see what mobs I need to give some extra loving to.

Are Tidy Plates and Threat Plates available via WoWMatrix or the Curse client, and/or do they seem to require updating often? I've grown accustomed to being able to update my addons once a week or so through these 2 programs and I'm not sure I'll be able to convince myself to stay up-to-date with an addon that's not available through them.
Also, I am not one of Kae's alts. Really, I have my own blog. Go look!
- February 16, 2010 at 3:08 PM
You can get it via Curse client. I've only had it for a few days so can't comment on how often it's updated.

There's actually a Kaelynn blogger, too: a rogue. :)
Tidy plates gets updated semi-frequently, probably just to keep it from hitting the out-of-date addons flag. It seems to work often enough without constantly updating it, though. Seems pretty stable in the relatively short time I've used it, and from what others (who recommended it to me) have said.

A Guide to the Art of the Tim Tam Slam
You've heard of Tim Tams, right? Those chocolate covered cookies from Australia and New Zealand that ex-pat Aussies and Kiwis get all crazy about?
Well, if you haven't, try having your significant other move to New Zealand. It'll have you questioning what (or whom) they love more: Tim Tams, or you.
At least, it seems to become a pretty close call once the Tim Tam Slam is introduced. On a recent trip down under to visit my Kiwi-living boyfriend, I was told that while he was very much looking forward to seeing me, he was maybe looking forward to teaching me to Slam even more (or something very much along those lines).
Basically: you take a Tim Tam, take small bites off of opposing corners, transforming the cookie into a pseudo straw. You then suck up hot liquid—hot chocolate is the best, though coffee is good too—until the cookie is just about saturated. Then, you shove the whole thing in your mouth, effectively slamming the now-melting cookie.
Slamming has become an obsession for my boyfriend and his friends since their arrival: they have opinions about the varieties of Tim Tams (honeycomb is a favorite, with dark chocolate, caramel filled, and double coated all being solid second choices); what is Slammable (hot toddies, for sure. We did it once with red wine which everyone else deemed 'spicy and interesting,' but I thought tasted like cough syrup and was a waste of a good cookie); how many times a day it's acceptable to Slam (infinite). We Slammed for breakfast. We Slammed as a reward for hiking in the rain. We Slammed enough to give me a sugar high to last for a year.
But, the fact is, Tim Tam Slamming is good. Really good. Good enough that I brought home a few packs myself, in order to show my friends back in San Francisco The Way. And now, Serious Sweet-ers, I'm here to show you.
Consider the slideshow above is a step-by-step guide to the Slam. Proceed with caution: when you've Slammed once, there's no turning back.

Understanding Cyclothymia
Cyclothymia is a disorder characterized by numerous periods of elevated or irritable mood alternating with mild ]]>depression]]>. Sometimes such changes impair the person's social or work life. Other times, the highs can aid productivity and creativity.
Excessive Behavior
People with cyclothymia might clean house nonstop for hours. Sleep eludes them. They do not feel tired. During highs, feelings of elation, irritability, or anger occur. Relationships are strained. Decision-making is flawed. They may go on buying sprees or make foolish investments.
"There's a lot of goal-directed behavior that's excessive," says cyclothymia researcher Lyn Abramson, PhD. She is a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. "They might start projects when they don't have money to do the project."
Two Forms of the Disorder
Patients typically fall into two groups. Some find the disorder helps them function. During highs, they can work longer hours and ideas come easily. "They are not impaired with the high," Dr. Abramson explains. "They're facilitated by it. If the depression is not too debilitating, they function better than average."
There's another subgroup of people with cyclothymia whose work life is seriously impaired during the high phases of cyclothymia. Those folks become distracted. Or they make bad decisions.
Certain events can trigger a cycle. For instance, a job interview may get a person with cyclothymia too charged up. That leads to high symptoms. They also may overreact to failure—that leads to depression.
Most people with the condition face mood changes every few days, and some cycle more rapidly. Symptom-free periods rarely exceed two months.
This condition is a mild form of ]]>bipolar disorder]]>. For those with cyclothymia, the symptoms are less intense and do not last as long.
Ups are not as high and downs are not as low as in a full-blown bipolar disorder. But some people with cyclothymia eventually develop the symptoms of more serious bipolar disease.
Bipolar disease and cyclothymia tend to run in families. There may be a genetic link between the two. Differences in temperament may also come into play.
Cyclothymia often becomes apparent during adolescence or early adulthood. It affects men and women equally. National Depressive and Manic-Depressive Association board member Thomas L. Schwenk, MD, says patients rarely seek treatment from their doctor for mild mood cycling. Dr. Schwenk is also professor and chair of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Michigan.
"Cyclothymia is a very odd diagnosis that is ignored, either because it doesn't have significant functional impact or other psychiatric or medical comorbidity (conditions) supercedes it," explains Dr. Schwenk. "In primary care, other medical and psychiatric problems often take priority."
Patients may voice concern about depression. But downs typically do not last long enough for antidepressants to be useful. And the drugs may set off a severe hypomanic or up episode.
Help for Mood Swings
Some patients try self-medicating with ]]>alcohol]]>. But drinking or ]]>drugs]]> worsen the risk of suicide.
Patients who seek psychiatric care may receive medications normally used to treat bipolar disorders. These drugs help even out mood swings.
Patients often do not want to lose the improved functioning they experience during a 'high'. "Some people like the periods of being up," Dr. Schwenk explains. "They have a lot of trouble with treatment because they are not sure they want to be treated, or they don't want to be labeled as having a disease."
Even when medication lacks appeal, counseling can help buffer the ups and downs. Therapists may suggest maintaining a regular schedule: wake up, eat, and go to bed at the same times. Other techniques include avoiding situations that trigger cyclothymic episodes and developing strategies for controlling responses to events. Still other therapies focus on improving relationships.
Generally, antidepressants are not recommended. This is because the medication can cause manic episodes. If antidepressants are prescribed, your doctor will have to closely monitor you.
For anyone noticing a cyclic mood pattern: "Go to a psychiatrist, and emphasize you're not just experiencing depression but also highs," advises Dr. Abramson. "If patients comply with treatment, it often can help."

April is National Alcohol Awareness Month – an opportunity to raise awareness of alcohol abuse, prevent underage drinking, and encourage all people to make healthy, safe choices. As such, The Salvation Army is praying for the full recovery of those who suffer from alcohol dependency: please join us!
Founding this month of awareness, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) has provided a plethora of statistics and helpful links about the nation's third leading lifestyle cause of death.
Excessive alcoholism accounts for approximately 79,000 deaths each year with one in 12 adults suffering from abuse or dependence. Unaccounted for are the millions of family members and children of the addicted family member suffering with physical and emotional abuse as well as financial burdens.
Adult dependency surveys reveal that almost half of people treated for alcohol dependency were in high school when they used alcohol for the first time. This is not surprising considering a reported 10 million American youths drink alcohol habitually, making it the #1 drug problem for young people.
So what do can we do to prevent youth from drinking? Research shows that kids who hear from their parents about the risks of alcohol, are up to 50% less likely to drink. For a list of statistics and helpful pointers for educating children, click here.
In support of this month, we hope you'll help us pass on the word about The Salvation Army's intensive Adult Rehabilitation Centers (ARC). In St. Louis, we also offer Harbor Light, a facility that helps homeless alcohol men turn their lives around with a shorter duration treatment program.
The Salvation Army views alcohol and other substance dependence as a condition of both the heart and the mind, and that you can't have full healing of the body without spiritual recovery. So for over 100 years, The Salvation Army has been helping adults burdened by the physical and spiritual afflictions of alcoholism through treatment programs involving counseling, good food, work therapy, life skills classes, leisure time, group bonding, and spiritual direction.
Each year, approximately 350,000 individuals are successfully treated through these centers nationwide!
If you know of someone who would benefit from treatment at these centers, please contact us by visiting www.satruck.org.
Want to take part in recognizing the 26th Alcohol Awareness Month? Local, state and national level partners with the NCADD will host a variety of activities to educate people about treatment and prevention of alcoholism. Click here to learn more.

Replace NaNs with the number that appears to its left in the row.
If there are more than one consecutive NaNs, they should all be replaced by the first non-NaN value to the immediate left of the left-most NaN. If the NaN is in the first column, default to zero.
For example, if
x = [NaN 1 2 NaN NaN 17 3 -4 NaN]
y = [ 0 1 2 2 2 17 3 -4 -4]
The problem does not limit the array to a single row. Add a few cases of multiple rows or define as single row.
x = [1:10 NaN];
y_correct = [ 1:10 10];
c =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 NaN
Output argument "y" (and maybe others) not assigned during call to "replace_nans".
Error in Test4 (line 3)
why wont this pass?
Not really a solution, more like a "white flag" regarding this direction.

I just realized that you can cause inconvenience to some players by posting cody problems like "Hello Everyone!!!". I did create that cody problem just to say Hi to my fellow cody players. It was not intended to waste your time or cause inconvenience. My apologies for whoever deleted that problem.
I am sure it was deleted by mistake, there are plenty of similar Cody problems (think Chuck Norris, indian mathematicians, smartest matlab programmers, and a long etc...) Perhaps Ned can put it back up?
Thanks for the reply sir.
Strange...those assertions pass on my computer
For the second test it gives: [0 0 1 2 2 2 17 3 -4] instead of [0 1 2 2 2 17 3 -4 -4]
Nice, it is very intuitive that a solution with this function is possible but still hard to find.
It's like a lesson. logical indices don't have to be full size! And for will apparently loop through a vector! Thanks!
Bonus! Vector doesn't have to be monotonic!

Project Old School, Part IV
Installing a Drop-Out Battery Box and Fuel Cell from Classic Performance Products
So I'm in the midst of the tedious block-sanding process, with the help of Chris and crew at Totally Polished, of course, and learning what hard labor is all about. We realize that there are a couple obstacles in the way of shooting any kind of final primer or paint. One is the rusty battery tray in the engine compartment. It hardly seemed worth working on or replacing since I really wanted to relocate the battery out of the engine compartment anyway. The other issue at hand was getting the gas tank out of the cab so we could shave the filler neck off of the cab corner. I put a call in to Jim Reis of Classic Performance Products in Buena Park, California. We were planning a disc-brake conversion using CPP components when we mentioned our dilemmas, and wouldn't you know that Jim had the perfect solution for each.
Brand new to the CPP product line is their Drop-Out Battery Box. It's a two-piece setup made completely of stainless steel. The mount bolts directly to the framerail in any location you wish. Next, you set the battery in the box and slide it up into the mount from underneath the truck. Now here's the cool part: There are two points where the box locks into place. The first is with the battery hanging down so you can attach the cables with ease. Then you slide the box up into place where it remains until you need to access it again. Pretty cool, huh?
During that same conversation, I learned that CCP was now offering aluminum gas tanks made specifically to fit the '60-72 GM truck frames. They carry a 19-gallon capacity and the heavy-gauge aluminum they use is approximately twice as thick as most of the fuel cells on the market. The tanks are complete with the fuel line and vent fittings, and the type of sending unit and fillers are optional.
Within days, I was back at TP with a fuel cell and battery box and all the additional parts that were necessary, all of which I obtained at the local auto parts house and a welding supply store. Follow along as Totally Polished's own Chris Daley installs both the battery box and fuel cell in record time. As always, if you have any questions for CPP or TP, give them a call or log on using the source box information. And, stay tuned for more exciting Old School stories because we're just getting started!

Mexican Prickly Poppy [Argemone Mexicana, Satyanashi, सत्यानाशी]
I had pictured this a few months ago in a beautiful place named Baneshwar. My post named Crafted Leaf shows another beauty of Baneshwar.
This plant is considered a weed in India, spread almost all over the country. It's poisonous, but has medicinal use too. I remember my mother said once that this flower's juice, or the juice of its leaves, if applied in the eyes is useful for better vision. Please don't try it because it may need some preparation before applying. I'll have to ask my mom about this, and get important Ayurved information from her knowledge-pool :)

It's a nice flower, it looks like our prickly pear flower (a cactus) except for the stigma which is green.ReplyDelete
Promised I won't try it on my eyes! :)
Very nice weed ;)ReplyDelete
Might be a weed, but is so beautiful!ReplyDelete
Very pretty flower, cures of your mother seem very interressants to take advantage of beauty without poisoning itself.ReplyDelete
It's very interesting, usually mother's knowledge works very well!ReplyDelete
And this flower is also beautiful!

Bhavesh: What a beauty, some wild flowers really can send out a special vibe.ReplyDelete
Oh my!! Is this flower so beautiful? All we do is crush the plant as its thorny....ReplyDelete
The trivia and the scientific name would surely help to dig further about its medicinal properties. Thanks

That's a beautiful poppy. Great shot.ReplyDelete
Yes, the juice SHOULD be good for the eyes, so that it can be used to heal them if a person gets poked in the eye by those thorns when leaning down to smell the beautiful flower!!!ReplyDelete
It certainly is a gorgeous flower...but it would behoove one to be careful not to get too close...that doth look prickly!ReplyDelete
I'd be interested in what your mother has to say...sometimes those old remedies really work...and sometimes they make things worse...
Yeah .....some of them are medicinal but one should have proper knowledge about it.ReplyDelete
It is a pretty flower and if it were not poisonous I wish we Could grow it as a flower here in Nebraska. It is colorful and I am a sucker for flowers.ReplyDelete
A pretty 'weed', but looks a bit dangerous with the slender pointed foliage.ReplyDelete
It is hard to imagine anything as pretty as that flower being poisonous. You always find such interesting things around your little world to share with us. Truly enjoy your post and visits.ReplyDelete
Your mom sounds like a font of useful knowledge!ReplyDelete

Hi there..ya, its nice to find a plant with some medicinal use and a little color too! This is a good idea for a post cause I think we need to look to natural means for help huh? Thanks & hope you have a great week,ReplyDelete
Very pretty, Bhavesh, weed or not. Isn't it funny that so many pretty flowers, especially the tropical kind, are poisonous. I know in Florida, they plant oleander along the causeways, then put up signs, warning not to use the stems to roast hot dogs, etc. The beautiful yellow alamanda is one of my favorites and it, too, is poisonous!ReplyDelete
Nice pic and nice info....am nt well educated on flowes, but love them....ReplyDelete
Beautiful flower and explanation. Thanks for sharing with us!ReplyDelete
Mums have so much wisdom, don't they!! A pretty flower, regardless of its poison.ReplyDelete
A beautiful flower Bhavesh. That's one 'weed' I'd love in my garden lolReplyDelete
I liked satyanashi flower very much. Its a weed still I am admirer of its bright yellow colour. Nice photo with nice words. :)ReplyDelete
Beautifully captured!ReplyDelete
Wow what a nice beautiful serene image. Thanks for sharing. Anna :)ReplyDelete

Yes, yes, yes. We can plant the Mexican poppy here in Los Angeles, and it will spread as far as you let it. Pretty plants will do that -- bamboo, for example.ReplyDelete

Often adversity can produce real power, and LaSalle showed that in the Catholic League championship football game last Friday night. Facing a halftime deficit against Roman Catholic the Explorers, led again by Jamal Abdur-Rahman, dominated the second half en route to a 35-16 win. They outscored the Cahillites 21-0 in the second half. Abdur-Rahman rushed for 168 yards on 28 carries. Matt Magarity was solid at quarterback in his return from concussion. The defense was outstanding, as it has been all year. Now 10-1, the Explorers will face Northeast High (who beat George Washington Saturday) in the city championship game this Saturday. The win gave them three Catholic League titles in the last three years, quite the accomplishment in the fiercely competitive league.
Played in front of a huge crowd on a cold night at Northeast High, Roman came out fired up to start the game. They scored the first points on a safety when Dennis Regan tackled Tim Wade in the end zone. LaSalle answered with a good drive, a long Magarity pass to Sean Coleman leading to a touchdown run by Magarity. But Roman came right back, behind the running of Marcus Kelly, whose touchdown gave the Cahillites a 9-7 lead. On LaSalle's next possession things got worse, as Magarity was sacked and he fumbled. Jack Gallagher picked the ball up for Roman and rumbled into the end zone for a score and a 16-7 Roman lead. Then LaSalle got Abdur-Rahman the ball, always a good strategy. He actually broke free for a 59-yard score on the first play but it was called back for holding. Not-to-worry, as they would march down the field and Abdur-Rahman got the touchdown for real, in what would be a momentum booster leading into halftime, although they still trailed 16-14.
The second half began where the first half ended, an Abdur-Rahman led drive. First he scampered for runs of 15 and 20 yards. Then Magarity had a nice run of 20 before Abdur-Rahman capped off the drive with his second touchdown. The senior running back has nearly 1,400 yards rushing on the season and is heading to Villanova. Things got even better for LaSalle as they recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. However they were intercepted on the next play when Magarity went for it all on first down. Abdur-Rahman then showed his defensive skills, intercepting a pass thrown by Roman's Michael Keir. The pick led to a Magarity touchdown pass to Coleman, a 24 yarder on a swing pass, as LaSalle was pulling ahead up 28-16.
Kevin Forster had his imprint on the game too. After playing quarterback in Magarity's absence he was back at his usual wideout/safety role, but he also added punting in Kevin Winslow's absence. Forster punted well and would intercept two passes before the day was done. Abdur-Rahman put the nail in the coffin with a late 30-yard touchdown run.
"I am just so excited," said Abdur-Rahman. " It's our third PCL win in the least three years." When asked about the first half difficulties Abdur-Rahman said, "we weren't making our plays like we usually do we weren't playing good football. In the second half we came out and started to dominate. Defense played lights out in the second half, didn't let up a score." Moving on to next week he said, "we need to keep up the hard work, we need to jump on the team in the first half."
About the three-peat Coach Drew Gordon said, "We never mentioned it to kids. They didn't hear it from us. If that's how they wanted to approach it that's fine, we just saw it as 2010."
About facing Roman for the second time Gordon said, "I think we were a little bit better prepared. Only gave up the one touchdown. Defense was outstanding."
At halftime Gordon said he told the kids, "I was disappointed for them, they were on the verge of something, if we're going to get beat, we're not going to lose if we beat ourselves, that's how we played in the first half."
Gordon said he was scouting Northeast Saturday and said about next week's game, "I can't wait."
Magarity said, "It was a great win. Whenever you win a championship like this over a great team like Roman, they came out and fought real hard in the first half. The last drive we scored on gave us momentum. I'm really proud of my offensive line. They blew them off the ball in the second half. Defense has been great all season. Only let up seven points tonight. Pitching shutouts all season." About next week he said, "It's going to be a real good time. Hopefully next week I can play better, made a couple mistakes; first game back."
LaSalle will play Northeast for the city championship at 12 p.m. on Saturday at Northeast.

Despite their extensive wealth, a poll released Thursday by SEI Private Wealth Management of ultra-wealthy Americans found that regardless of their current level of wealth, respondents would need twice that amount to feel financially secure. Younger respondents (those under 50) felt they would need at least three times their current wealth to feel really secure.
In light of those fears, advisors may be underserving their ultra-wealthy clients. SEI found nearly half of respondents felt "isolated" when making financial decisions.
Scorpio Partnership surveyed more than 160 respondents with an average $11.8 million in financial assets for SEI's poll. SEI Private Wealth Management focuses on investors' concerns rather than advisors' and declined to comment on the survey results.
Nearly 40% of respondents said they felt more confident when their advisor guided them on difficult financial decisions, but 57% said they didn't think their advisor was giving them all the information they needed to assess risk.
"The results show that many investors feel isolated when making financial decisions," Michael Farrell, managing director for SEI Private Wealth Management, said in a statement. "The challenge is trying to balance the need for external input with clients' instincts to take the lead on family decisions, financial or otherwise."
Farrell stressed that "frequent and meaningful communication" was important to give clients all the information they need to make decisions confidently. "Hopefully in doing this," he said, "the client will feel more connected and more informed when assessing financial decisions."

"Observing Quantum Gravity in the Sky"
M. Jackson
Though the observed CMB is at very low energy, it encodes ultra high-energy physics in spatial variations of the photon temperature and polarization fluctuations. This effect is believed to be dominated by the initial quantum state of the Universe. I will describe the first theoretical tools by which to construct such a state from fundamental physics. There are three specific observational effects this initial state will produce: a ringing signal in the power spectrum of quantum field fluctuations, an enfolded type of non-Gaussian fluctuations, and a calculable primordial gravitational wave background. We will soon be able to compare these predictions against experiment, allowing one to rule out classes of quantum gravity models. Now is the critical time to undertake such investigations, with a number of ongoing and planned experiments such as WMAP, Planck, and CMBPol poised to collect a wealth of precision data.

Proposed tip Please edit this page to improve it, or add your comments below (do not use the discussion page).
created July 16, 2013 · complexity basic · version 7.0
By default, Cygwin does not include the improved version of vi, and this results in
~/.vimrc being ignored. To create a custom configuration file, you have two options:
- Store your vi configuration settings in
- Install Vim via setup.exe (see note below).
For option 2, you will have to launch vi with the Vim command or add an alias to ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc. like so:
echo "alias vi=vim" >> ~/.bashrc
I went for first option, that helped, thanks! Regards, Ida

More Christians jailed in Iran
Two Christians from the Church of Iran denomination, Behzad Taalipasand and Mohammadreza (Johann) Omidi, were detained on New Year's Eve in the northern city of Rasht.
The arrests are the latest developments in a December crackdown on house churches by the Iranian government.
In an annual ritual ironically referred to by local Christians as a "Christmas gift", the Iranian regime generally intensifies its campaign of repression during the Christmas season. In 2010, 70 Christians were arrested during this period, while in 2011, the authorities in the southern city of Ahwaz aided and detained an entire Assemblies of God (AoG) congregation, including the Sunday school children.
This year has been no exception. On 25 December Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani of the Church of Iran, acquitted of apostasy in September, was jailed again in Rasht at the instigation of prison authorities to serve the remaining 45 days of a three year sentence for evangelising Muslims.
Then on 27 December, around 50 Christians were arrested at a residential home in Tehran where they had gathered to celebrate Christmas. According to reports received by Iranian news agency Mohabat News, the majority were released after being interrogated and handing over mobile phones, full contact details and passwords to emails and social networking sites.
However, 60-year old Reverend Vruir Avanessian was detained in Evin Prison, despite suffering severe health challenges. The reverend has since been escorted by guards to a specialist clinic for compulsory dialysis treatment, where he was briefly visited by his wife before being returned to prison.
Also in December, news emerged of the imprisonment without charge since September of the Reverend Saeed Abedini, a 32-year-old dual Iranian and American citizen, who was detained while visiting his parents. According to reports the Reverend has been given several dates for a court hearing, which has been repeatedly postponed.
Mervyn Thomas, Chief Executive of Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) said: "The Iranian government's annual campaign of arrest and harassment during a significant religious holiday is wholly unacceptable. As a signatory to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Iran is obligated to uphold freedom of religion or belief for all of its citizens, and this must include the right to observe days of worship and manifest their belief in communion with others.
"Moreover, while it is good that Reverend Avanessian is being allowed to receive necessary medical treatment, CSW condemns his arrest and question Iran's continuing unwillingness or inability to provide adequate medical attention for Pastor Benham Irani, whose health continues to deteriorate in prison.
"It is vital that the Iranian government ends the harassment of religious minorities within its borders, respects their right to religious freedom, and releases immediately and unconditionally all who have been imprisoned on account of their faith."
