What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Here at Hickory Ridge Farm we take pride in providing top quality produce to our CSA members. All the information you'll need to become a CSA member and reap the benefits are listed below. Please contact us should you have additional questions.
It all starts here…
For over 25 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer.
Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership") and in return receive a box of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.
This arrangement creates several rewards for both the farmer and the consumer. Advantages for farmers include getting to focus on pre-planning and marketing the food early in the year, before their long days in the field begin. It also provides them an opportunity to get to know the people who eat the food they grow.
The advantages as a CSA consumer include eating ultra-fresh food (with all the flavor and vitamin benefits); getting exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking, and also developing a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and through them learning more about how food is grown.
"A happy and healthy community is not a fairytale. All you need is a seed." — NADIA SHABAZZ, FOUNDER
CSA FAQ's
Is your food organic? Yes! All our food is ethically produced without the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals. While we are not certified organic, we grow our food to those same high standards.
What food do you grow? We grow more than 25 varieties of vegetables and herbs. Many of these plants are heirloom varieties bursting with flavor. We guarantee that what we grow tastes nothing like what you buy in most stores. We also sell meat from our free range chickens and beef cattle. During our Spring Season, we ramp up with potatoes, green garlic, carrots, kale, kohlrabi, peas, salad, beets, parsley, and leeks. As temperatures warm you receive cucumbers, summer squash, beans, and the first of the tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, okra and eggplant. As temperatures cool, comes spinach, arugula, kales, mustards, Swiss chard, broccoli, cabbage, green garlic, radishes, snow peas, green onions, butternut squash, pumpkins, turnips, carrots and tomatoes. Keep in mind when you eat seasonally is that the harvest is a bell curve. The beginning harvests are smaller than the weeks that follow and as tomatoes and other favorites start producing bumper crops, your share grows. Your box will include what is in harvest and available.

About the history & legacy of cinema in Kansas City
Most people on the coasts know about Kansas City's musical heritage. They've heard about the barbecue. They have a vague recollection that someone once told them it's a nice town. But it's still a "flyover," one of the places they see from the airplane window while traveling between New York and L.A. The idea that this Midwestern city has a rich cinematic heritage would likely never occur to them.
It doesn't always occur to people who live here, either, and the History & Legacy page is designed to change that. This area has produced famous actors and groundbreaking directors, as well as major advances in film exhibition and distribution. There are a remarkable number of historic buildings in Kansas City associated with the industry, including some of the country's most beautiful theaters. And, of course, there's a tradition of both independent and Hollywood-based filmmaking here, going back to the silent era.
Ideas and information are always welcome. There are hundreds of stories to tell, and I look forward to sharing some of them with you.
Loey Lockerby, author and President of the Kansas City Film Critics Circle has been chosen as the Official Historian of CinemaKC. Ms. Lockerby will be sharing great stories about motion picture actors, artists and notables in the film industry with a Kansas and Missouri connection.
Alice Guy-Blaché was, from 1896 to 1906, probably the only woman in the world who was making films. By the time her career ended prematurely in 1920, she had directed more than 1,000 films, some 150 of which survive, and 22 of which are feature-length. by DAN LYBARGER SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE | Today August…Read More
During jazz's Golden Age, legends like Count Basie, Charlie Parker and Bennie Moten helped make Kansas City's 18th and Vine district a mecca for successful and innovative musicians. In the heart of this historic area, at 1615 East 18th Street, stands the Gem Theatre. Originally named the Star Theatre, it was built in 1912…Read More
When she left the film industry in 1920, Gene Gauntier had written, directed, acted in and/or produced over 300 pictures, including the first adaptation of "Ben-Hur" and a "Girl Spy" adventure series. She had traveled the world and formed her own production company. She'd been hailed as the biggest star at Kalem Studios, and sued for copyright infringement.Read More
When Walt Disney moved from Kansas City to California in the early 1920s, he had already established himself as a creative force – if not a financial one (his Laugh-O-Gram studios went bankrupt shortly before his departure). His fortunes improved in Hollywood, and several of his talented KC colleagues joined him in his new venture. Some of them became famous in their own right, but even the lesser known artists made important contributions.Read More
During his 31 years with the Kansas City Fire Department, George C. Hale became famous for his dedication. He expanded the department, travelled the world promoting his profession, and invented several life-saving devices. But it was after his retirement in 1902 that he became a significant – if largely forgotten – figure in the development of early moviegoing.Read More
The Bollers specialized… ideal choice to design the Country Club Plaza's movie house in 1928. Like many of the Boller buildings, the Plaza Theater mimicked another, more exotic space, in this case a Spanish country villa. The Plaza remained a first-run house into the 1990s, when competition from the area's megaplexes finally shut it down. The building was converted into a Restoration Hardware store in 1999, although the facade is still largely intact.Read More
The Centron Corporation in Lawrence, Kansas, produced hundreds of educational films, but its true claim to fame couldn't be further from "Why Study Industrial Arts?" What made Centron beloved by generations of film geeks involved a pasty ghoul, an abandoned amusement park, and a director who wanted to try something new.Read More

CSU G Dorian Green to be a game-time decision for Mountain West semis
LAS VEGAS – Colorado State guard Dorian Green will once again be a game-time decision as he rehabs a sprained right ankle in advance of Friday's Mountain West tournament semifinal against UNLV.
The senior practiced today, which was a positive sign. Green reported feeling better running and cutting, but by no means is anywhere near 100 percent. The plan is to have him suit up and go through warmups before making a final decision.
"It's getting better," Green said. "Today was huge."
CSU coach Larry Eustachy doesn't sound too enthusiastic about running his senior leader out there for a game that won't mean much in terms of the Rams NCAA Tournament fortunes. Eustachy would rather have a fully healthy Green for next week's tournament game than a hobbled one against the Rebels.
Still, he reluctantly did not rule out Green's presence on the court tomorrow.
"I think he's hurt, but wants to play badly," Eustachy said. "We'll see."
Even if Green does play, there's a good chance he'll be held to a minute-limit — in the 20-minute range — and may not start. Sophomore Jon Octeus started in his place in the quarterfinal game against Fresno State, and got good reviews from Eustachy.

Best Reader stories from 1980
Del Mar Man, Guadalupe Island, Pacific Southwest Airlines, Harry Partch
Gordon Smith, Jeff Smith, Joe Applegate, Mark Orwoll 8:30 a.m., Nov. 17
They aren't exactly stained-glass windows at The Fellowship. They're mosaics, made from thick shards of colored glass set in hardened sand, and they lay out salvation history through landscapes: creation, the flood, the parting of the Red Sea, all the way to the Resurrection. Only God puts in a personal appearance, as the Infant Christ at the Nativity and as the white-winged Holy Spirit throughout. Whimsy at the outset: for a service entitled Wipe Out, surfboards and a beach ball on the stage. Pastor Smith reading announcements (a Southern Sunday picnic, a musical rally in the park, a shout-out to the Marines in the band) from "Mister Smith's Neighborhood" while the piano tinkled a familiar tune.
Sincerity to follow: A film extolling American Independence from England, followed by prayers of gratitude for our freedoms and the soldiers who defend them, "out there on the lines for us." Song upon song of praise and worship, strummed and drummed and clapped: "Send your holy fire on this offering/ Let our worship burn for the world to see/ It's not for us, it's all for you."
Smith's sermon considered the beatitude, "Happy are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." "What we're talking about now," said Smith, "is this: once a person has accepted Christ in their heart, this is the evidence of change in their life...these are the actions of a person who has received a changed heart... Let's walk through and find out how to experience God's comfort in a broken heart."
Smith's talk was full of explanations and examples, but efficiently organized and distillable. "Number one, I need you to realize that 'God is with me'... I know that is tough to do, but listen to the verse: 'The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.' Let me give you some things to remember... Number one, God is aware. The Bible says that the very hairs on your head are numbered by God," and that "when Jesus ascended, He sent back the Comforter, the Holy Spirit.... He's aware of your pains.... Number two, God cares. Listen to the Bible: The Lord is God, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.' Your pain matters to God.... Go to God with your pain... you're actually speaking a dependence on God, admitting, 'I'm hurt, I'm confused, I'm in need of help'.... Number three, God wants to help.... 'Let us approach God with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and by grace to help us in our time of need.'"
What sort of help? "What is God's idea of comfort? It actually means to be strengthened.... He will send us grace to help us through.... Remember, the ultimate goal of Christ is to make you more like Himself. So whatever you're going through, you need to simply look at it as, 'This is a time that God is developing me'...God is saying, 'I want to come and strengthen you.'"
He warned against repressing, rehearsing, and resenting when dealing with pain, instead advocating releasing by no longer focusing "on what's lost, but on what's left. 'Do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!'... If you don't know the new thing that God is doing in your life, then your Christian life is either in neutral or reverse, and you're going to be stuck in your pain, instead of growing through your pain." The three comforters we can rely on for help: God's word ("Revive me by your word"), God's people ("God...comforts us...so that we can comfort others."), and God's spirit ("...that by the power of the Holy Spirit your whole life and outlook may be radiant with hope").
"I want you to make a commitment of coming to Christ," concluded Smith. "I want you to give your life to God and let God use it to bless others.... I've found that when I get my eyes off myself and start focusing on somebody else, what I'm going through ain't so bad."
What happens when we die?
"It depends on what you believe in," said Smith. "If you believe that Jesus Christ came and died on the cross for your sins, and you've accepted Him; if you've asked him to come into your life and save you from your sins, then you're going to die and go to heaven. But if you just give a cursory effort -- 'Hey, Jesus is a great man, a good guy, I believe in Him, here's a five in the plate, hope that puts us on good terms' -- if you've not fully committed your life to Christ, then when you die, the Bible is very clear: you go to 'separate from God.' We call that hell. It's either heaven or hell, and it depends on where you decide. God doesn't send anybody to hell."

While I didn't find it effective enough to be a good butt vibe, which is bad enough for the cord when positioning the thing, I tried some penis contact and had some pleasurable contractions. I even managed to reach orgasm while massaging my taint.
The way it's shaped, it could dig in and stimulate some key areas of my penis, and perhaps I could've achieved orgasm with the vibe alone, if the cord lasted long enough for me to find out.
Good vibe, but it won't last. Buy something that will. (or perhaps get this and be delicate with the cord by not using it for anal?)
Just purchased my 5th one. I love this toy, primarily for clitoral and g-spot stimulation, and often as a warm-up. It's quiet, and the vibe packs a nice punch and it's so versatile.
Why the three stars then?
I wrote in to join the chorus of reviewers who are disappointed with the cord defect. Sure enough, it only lasts me 6-8 months before the cord shorts out at the base of the vibe. So disappointing--a real manufacturer flaw, across the board. Fix it, Night Rider people!
As other reviewers have stated, this is a great vibrator and I love the fact that it is not expensive but of the six (6) that I have purchased in the past 8 years the cord is ALWAYS the issue. After a few months of use, the cord frays and renders the vibrator unusable.
I wish there was a way to contact the manufacturer to complain! Especially with the amount of reviewers stating the same problem...
I'd definitely pay more for a more durable product of this caliber.
My partner and I LOVE this toy. I bought it with the intent to use it on them but ended up hogging it for myself! Great for G-spots and prostates alike. Slides in nicely, settings are varied and fun, and it's a fantastic deal.
Downside (and the reason why it doesn't get 5 stars) is that the place where the cord connects to the base of the toy wears out. Eventually it bends and wears down until it can't make a connection at all. Heavy use got us about a 6 month lifespan. We immediately bought a replacement.
Think of it as a robust temporary toy, instead of a great toy with a short lifespan. It's still a fantastic addition to your fun supply kit.
I had one and it clonked out on me after a year. I don't know if that is normal but I wished it last longer. Other than that it worth the money.
I love putting this thing in my butt. It fits in there so well! I just put some lube on it and slide it in there; I feel so at home with it. I use it as a dildo as well as a butt plug. It's great to just put it in your butt and put your pants on and put the wired remote discretely in your pocket and leave the house. It's definitely a two-fer, dildo + butt plug! I use it everyday and I always get the most powerful orgasms with it's help.
I really like this vibe. The cord is a PLUS for me, but it really needs to be LONGER (that's why only 4 stars instead of 5) and here's why:
I have a healthy sex life with my wife, but still, like most guys, I like to masturbate -- A LOT. (Hope I didn't shock anyone :)
When I masturbate, a little "buzz in the backdoor" really adds to the thrill for me. Now when I pleasure myself, I usually do it seated in a chair, in front of my computer, while looking at porn.
This is why the cord on this toy is such a plus. A vibe with the control right there on the end of the shaft is a pain in the butt (literally!) to adjust from this seated position. The cord on the night rider solves this problem -- almost. It needs to be a LONGER cord! This one isn't quite long enough to sit conveniently on the desk, next to the mouse.
There is another reason a longer cord would be really nice. I said I have a healthy sex life with my wife. Well, one big part of that sex life involves acting out submissive fantasies, where I surrender all control to her (again, don't mean to shock anybody :)
How sweet it would be to be able to have sex with her in the missionary position, with the Night Rider firmly inside me, and be able to see that little blue control in her hand (and hopefully a diabolical smile on her face!)
She would be able to reward or punish me at the touch of a button! Or maybe just control the speed of my thrusting by turning the vibe faster or slower, to indicate to me how fast I should be going without having to say a word.
So many, many delightful possibilities! But again, that cord has just GOT to be longer.
To me it only makes sense that if you are going to put a separate battery pack and cord on a toy, there is no reason not make it a long cord. Three feet would be nice, six feet would be better.
Otherwise, excellent toy! But please, LONGER CORD!
Who doesn't like putting things in their butt? How about cheap, smooth, vibrating, non-porous things? This duder is waterproof and has that nice "sandblasted plastic" soft feel. The cord is a little bit of a bummer but we all make sacrifices. p.s. also good for g-spot stuff.
I really like this vibe. It has nice stimulation and the flange does keep it in place. I really enjoy being double penetrated using this for my anal stimualation. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this addition.
My boyfriend bought it for use in anal play and yet I ended up using it for clitoral stimulation. The handle works great and the curve fits perfectly against my clitoris. I haven't tried the Femblossom or the Jasmine, but this is very similar... and the varying strengths are good, too.

Sorry good people....
I no longer repair TCs or PSUs.
I will FULLY support any warranty returns. When I say FULLY, I mean you will pay nothing at all, if within the UK.
I even refund the postage.
In over 670 TC and PSU repairs, I have only had 3x warranty returns.
One unit repaired over 5 years ago, needed to be fixed again (full of dust and had overheated).
The re-repair was modest, about £25 I think...

text: The District of Columbia Housing Authority uses creative ways to fund affordable housing in D.C., but the agency isn't alone. Cities and professional organizations are all working on the issue. That was the message from the "Addressing Housing Affordability Solutions" panel held March 16 hosted by Make Room, an affordable housing advocacy organization. DCHA Executive Director Adrianne Todman, The National Rental Home Council Executive Director Diane Tomb and Columbus, Ohio City Councilwoman Jaiza Page spoke to participants of Make Room's Journalism Study Tour. "It is financially difficult to build affordable housing for very low-income families," Todman said. "It requires layers of private and public financing." Todman said the process is made less difficult in D.C. , because the city has made affordable housing a priority, D.C. has a Housing Production Trust Fund, and the value of the land DCHA owns is high and attractive to developers. Leasing out the land and using multiple layers of funding, including tax credits and loans, allows DCHA s to build housing for all income levels. In addition to the market not being as lucrative for affordable housing, federal funding to operate and maintain the nation's affordable housing has been steadily cut over the years, Todman said. "Our oldest site is 78 years old," she said. "It is beautiful on the outside, but inside the systems have aged." Each property is carefully considered before a renovation or redevelopment begins, she said. No two plans will be the same but all are completed to make the best community for generations to come. For example, the new MetroTowns community in Northeast resulted from tearing down 42 units of public housing to create 125 new units of housing—by replacing the 42 units and adding several other affordable options, including homeownership. Several families who lived in the original property decided to return and some even bought homes, she said. "We are working to integrate better housing and communities with stronger neighborhood amenities; we are also encouraging families to improve their own economic situation through workforce development and homeownership. " Todman said. The other panelists described programs they have been working on to help landlords and renters keep and improve their homes. In Columbus, Ohio, the city decided to sell a piece public property for $15 million and relocate some senior citizens to be able to serve 300 more families, Page said. The city is working to provide emergency assistance to prevent evictions and change the process landlords use to slow evictions. The Columbus City Council also is trying to find a method similar to D.C.'s inclusionary zoning, to ensure affordable units are included into new developments. "Our focus is on efficiency," said Tomb, whose members are landlords and businesses that recognize their work can affect the community. Tomb's members are working to create a program that will allow credit to track rental payments. Currently, rental payments are not used to establish credit history. They also are working on bundling resources for members to lower costs, which get passed to their customers.

Published at Tuesday, May 14th, 2019 - 20:49:37 PM. Furniture. By Alsatia Philippot.
Natural memory foam mattresses are made from natural latex as opposed to either synthetic or a blend of natural and synthetic content. Natural latex foam comes from rubber tree sap that has been frothed up and baked. It is so appealing because it is healthy, has a life-span of 20 plus years and maintains its consistency, unlike synthetics which dry out and break down. Natural memory foam mattresses contain organic fill or batting. This is what is inside a mattress over the springs or latex foam. Organic cotton or wool are batting you will find in a natural or healthy mattress. Most natural mattresses are quite firm. Natural latex is a fairly firm rubbery foam. Fibres soften the surface of a spring or natural latex mattress. By topping the mattress, it helps provide a more comfortable nights sleep.
Before shopping for a mattress you need to arm yourself with pertinent information. First determine what type of bed is best for you. Do you like soft or hard beds? Would you prefer a standard mattress or a foam mattress? If you are not sure, go try out a few different mattress types. Second, consider your budget. This is not a purchase you want to scrimp on, as a poor nights sleep can affect your whole day. Try to get as much value as you can for your budget. Finally, size is a very important factor especially if there is more than one person sleeping in the bed. Ideally, you should both be able to lie on the bed with your arms behind your heads and not touch. A bed needs to be 10-15 cm longer than the tallest person sleeping in that bed. Also pay attention to the height. Lower beds can be easy to get into but harder to get out of. High beds can be hard to get into, especially for shorter people, but very easy to hop out of in the morning.

Time Properly Wasted
I bet if we used all that time spent on playing WoW, we could've had
daily hovercraft trips to the moon set up by now.
– Alex
MMORPGs are a big time drain, but not to say that we have anything better to do on a regular basis. I mean would you rather just sit around to some beers, or would you rather be slaying some FU*KEN godly SPIDER MONSTER KING, will all your friends and post for pictures?
Sometimes it is nice to just sit and relax with a beer just to shoot the shit, but often times I'd rather be doing something like playing a new board game like DND, or trying to accomplish a goal, like develop a plan to help Hati. Wouldn't it be grand if there was something you and all your friends could get together, and with the power of your collection of minds, produce something that can impact the world? I've got to come up with an application or something that can make use of this, like folding at home but for group gatherings.

Pioneertown, just outside Joshua Tree National Park, houses not only a wonderful old western town created by Hollywood for film in the 1940's, but also several venues for weddings both large and small. Our brides, Jade and Olivia, selected Homestead Modern as the venue for their elopement dinner because the setting feels so in tuned with its surroundings, and loved the style and detail of the house, from the renovated airstream to the large patio perfect for dinner and dancing.

Polish Breeders Club
Preserving and Promoting Polish, Houdans, Sultans, & Crevecoeurs
Care and info
PBC Store and Memberships
Committee Updates
Shows & Points
Junior Members
Member's Links
Officers & Contact Info
WC Chocolate, WC Khaki, and WC cuckoo BANTAMS for APA acceptance
We are working on getting our committees up and running. But so far most are still a committee of ONE- that's not a real committee. So, If you raise any of the following breeds/varieties please join the committee and help keep your favorite polish variety or lesser seen breed on task!!
Every breed & variety standard committee needs to have an officer and/or director involved with it so the club is current with the info, that person does not have to be the head of the committee.
Breed committees- I would like all the breed committees to be breed Standard committees- that is why they were created for info for new breeders. We are starting a Polish Standard Committee- and need members who have shown Polish for 5+ years for committee members. The reason for this is we have A LOT of Polish breeders and we NEED our best show breeders to help guide interpretation of the standard for our new members getting into showing their flock. Because of it being our main breed's standard committee all acting PBC presidents will always be a member of the committee (there will be a president's place in the committee that will change who is in that spot depending on who is current president if that makes sense).
For variety committees' people who keep both bantam and large fowl can discuss that variety and learn from one another as well as make sure their variety's information is being portrayed correctly online, which includes a detailed write up with pictures of variety with excellent type (unless that is a work in progress than the best type/coloring combos you can get pictures of).
Remember- Newsletters come out 4 times a year!! It is always nice to put updates or info about your committee in the newsletter!! Also a good way to show to members that the committee is active and striving for its goals!!
Open PBC Committees looking for members and contact person:
Crevecoeur Standard Committee

The Most Played Togel Hongkongpools Game in 2017
Online gambling game which can be played online (use internet connection) by using computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone is getting more popular in 2017. In Togel Hongkongpools, those online games make players easier to play and win the big prizes. These games will not make the members or players feel stressful to set deposit, set a bet, play the most played game or win the big prize even when they just have small capital or deposit.
Most Played Game in Togel prediksi hongkongpools
Well, from the long list of Togel Hongkongpools games, there are only a few games that are considered as the most played games. They are poker, slot games, and soccer game. These three games are the most favorite games in Togel Hongkongpools. These games are easy and full of fun.

Therefore, eventhough the players set a small bet, there is still a chance to win a big prize. Togel Hongkongpools provides certain system and rule where everyone has the same chance to win thebig prize. Therefore, it is not right that experienced players will always win or new gamers will always lose.

Practising selective ignorance
The cartoon character Charlie Brown once said, "I've developed a new philosophy… I only dread one day at a time." But listening to the news it is almost impossible not to think of the world as an unsafe place where the months and years ahead are fraught with danger. Newspapers of course rarely report good news – this is because human psychology is such that we find it hard to delight in other people's good fortune. Objectively we live in a far healthier and prosperous world than ever before; the problem is exposure to bad news warps our perception of life – a phenomenon dubbed the "mean world syndrome". It used to be thought that violence on screen has no effect on real-life behaviour but that view has changed, since it desensitises viewers while flooding their bodies with unnecessary stress hormones.
If we want to keep our bodies free of ageing cortisol and adrenaline it is not just a question of staying away from video games. Gory crime fiction, horror films, murder mysteries which excite the imagination and sensationalist news articles need to become no-go areas. Next time we come across one of these, let us observe what is happening inside – emotions, any tension, our thoughts.
Tim Ferris in The 4-hour Workweek says he hasn't bought a newspaper in the last five years. To keep up to date with current affairs he scans the headlines, no more, and advocates a one-week media fast for the addicted. Those of us who need political and business news do not have to stop reading. It's the sensational detail we can avoid. We may subconsciously feel that if we know and understand what someone went through it is less likely to happen to us. But in fact the opposite may be true, as it creates a template in the brain, preparing the cells for similar real-life emotions in the same way that visualisation can prepare you for an exam, a race, a difficult task. The receptors on our cells grow in proportion to the amount of peptides we release, which are the vectors for emotions, including those of horror, fear, deep sadness and shock. When we listen to harrowing news we create these receptors. The more receptors, the more peptides…the more health problems…the more stress…which creates more receptors….which are hungry for yet more of the hormones which boost blood sugar and triglycerides. When this excess fuel isn't used for physical activities (especially when it is generated while sitting still reading or watching/listening) the results can be suppression of the immune system, digestive disorders, muscle tension, short-term memory loss, premature coronary artery disease, heart attack, depression, suicidal thoughts, ulcers….
Next time the content is announced as potentially disturbing for those of a sensitive disposition, count yourself in. We are all sensitive. Switch off.

BOSTON — Derek Jeter played his last game Sunday, ending his career with a play typical of his time in the majors, in which he hustled out an infield single for his 3,465th hit.
As Jeter stood at first base, in the top of the third inning against Boston, Manager Joe Girardi made a slashing motion at his throat, asking with the hand signal if that was it for Jeter. Jeter nodded.
The fans had been standing from the moment he had come to the plate, but the cheering and the "Derek Jeter" chants grew louder. Jeter handed his arm and foot pads to the first-base coach, Mick Kelleher, and patted him on the helmet. He waited for Brian McCann, the pinch-runner, to arrive and gave him a heartfelt hug. Then he jogged across the diamond, stopping to shake hands with Clay Buchholz, the Red Sox' starting pitcher, and hugged each of his teammates before he sat down in the dugout.
His 20-year career was over.
It began on the road, on May 29, 1995, in Seattle, with an 0 for 5 performance and ended on the road, here at Fenway Park. In between, there were five World Series championships, a Rookie of the Year award, 14 All-Star Game selections, five Gold Glove Awards and five Silver Slugger Awards.
He collected the sixth-most hits in history, scored 1,923 runs (the ninth most), hit 260 home runs and battled his way through 12,602 plate appearances. He was never ejected from a game.
His final hit, a high bouncer to third base, gave him a .310 batting average for his career. He also had 200 hits in 158 postseason games for a .308 batting average, remarkably close to his regular-season mark.
Over the course of his career, a flip play, a dive into the stands, a home run for his 3,000th hit, a leadoff home run, a home run in November and numerous other plays helped make him one of history's most admired and adored Yankees.
One of the men he pushed down a rung on the career hits list, Carl Yastrzemski, was on hand as part of a pregame ceremony to honor him. Jeter stood on the grass behind shortstop, and one by one, past stars of the Red Sox and other Boston teams emerged from the Red Sox' dugout.
First came Yastrzemski, followed by the likes of Rico Petrocelli, Fred Lynn, Jim Rice and Luis Tiant, who gathered near him. Then came the former Bruins star Bobby Orr, the former Patriots receiver Troy Brown and Paul Pierce, representing the Boston Celtics.
Behind them, on the hand-operated scoreboard in left field, workers spelled out, "WITH RESPECT 2 DEREK JETER."
In his first at-bat, in the first inning, Jeter walked to the plate with the fans standing and cheering. He hit a sharp line drive that was snared by shortstop Jemile Weeks. The Yankees in the dugout began playfully taunting Weeks for taking the hit away. Weeks shrugged.
It ended up fine because Jeter got his hit in the third and the chance to wave goodbye to the fans, many of whom wore shirts with Yankees pinstripes and No. 2 on the back.
After Jeter left, the game was relatively meaningless. Neither the Yankees nor the Red Sox were in contention for a playoff spot. Jeter, after he was removed, stood at the railing next to Francisco Cervelli and watched.
Now that Jeter's career is over, Cervelli has the longest tenure in the Yankees' organization, having signed with the team on March 1, 2003. In his first major league spring training, Jeter gave him a pair of spikes.
"I hope he gives me another pair," Cervelli said. "That was a long, long time ago. It was an honor to be with him for all this time. Not just me. It was an honor for all of us."

The pirates arent only in Pittsburgh
An advocacy organization for the personal computer software industry recently reported that software theft rose globally by 14 percent in 2010 and reached a record commercial value of $59 billion. The piracy rate hit 42 percent last year, and was second only to the 43 percent recorded in 2009.
The Business Software Alliance noted in its latest study that the commercial value of software pirated in the U.S. alone was $9.5 billion last year — the highest dollar figure of any nation and up from $8.4 billion a year ago, while the U.S. tied with Japan and Luxembourg for having the lowest worldwide piracy rate of 20 percent.
Nearly half of all the suspected cases of corporate software piracy in the U.S. last year originated in six states, and BSA said Michigan was one of the six. The manufacturing industry accounted for 24 percent of all the unlicensed software reports in the state last year. One local manufacturer reached a $125,000 settlement with BSA for having unlicensed copies of three software programs installed on its computers.
"In a very simple sense, pirated software is a product that is copyrighted and the user uses it in a way that makes it an infringing copy," said Peter Beruk, BSA director of compliance marketing.
"In the corporate realm, the prevalence of piracy is when an organization will buy one, or 100, or 1,000 licensed copies of a particular application, but they will make additional copies where the license that they got with that software doesn't permit," he added.
A less frequently occurring but just as serious offense is counterfeiting. Illegal copies of copyrighted software are made and then sold as legitimate, most often but not exclusively via the Internet. Jenny Blank, senior director of America's Enforcement, an arm of BSA, said what makes it difficult to stop the spread of fake copies is there isn't any such thing as a stereotypical counterfeiter.
"At the top of the food chain, I suppose you might want to say, would be the organized rings that are making the software. Then that goes downstream to smaller resellers and that could be anybody: somebody who is doing this as a side business; it could be a very legitimate business that is also doing this on the side; it could be a main business," said Blank.
"A couple of years ago, we arrested a grandmother who was counterfeiting software to supplement her retirement account. There really isn't a stereotype," she said.
Beruk said BSA has created a video series called "The Faces of Piracy," which is available at bsa.org/faces. The series contains interviews with people who have been affected by piracy and with some who have been convicted of pirating software, including one who worked for a software developer at the time.
"There is no, sort of, primary face here," he said. "The other stories we have are how piracy impacts some of our member companies, and we've also got some interviews from representatives of the Department of Justice as to why they will investigate these types of crimes, as much as BSA will."
As having the DOJ involved might suggest, counterfeiting is a federal offense that can carry some prison time.
Unlike counterfeiting, Blank said some copyright violations are made unknowingly by companies. More often, though, using software illegally is done purposely.
"In some companies, somebody had to know what was going on, but there are companies where senior management may not have been aware," she said.
Blank said companies need to care about this problem for their own good. One reason is a firm's cyber security. Downloading software from the Internet, instead of buying it from the manufacturer, doesn't always result in a quality product, and a firm's records and system could be at risk of being stolen or destroyed because these versions could contain malware or malicious software that has viruses, worms and Trojan horses.
"People shouldn't want to play Russian roulette with their systems," she said.
Blank said another reason companies should care is those that use software products illegally will pay stiff fines if they're caught, like the Grand Rapids company did. Others could even face litigation.
To stay on the safe side, Blank said firms need to audit their software usage to determine if every piece is installed according to the licensing contracts. That involves making a record of all software being used on each computer and comparing the list to the firm's purchasing agreements.
"Now that's a simple concept. But the reality of how complicated it is can vary drastically between a five-person shop and a 1,000-person shop," she said.
Beruk said firms also should create a management audit that tracks which machines have what software and how many employees have access to each one. He also said if one worker doesn't use a particular application, then it should be removed from that computer or transferred to another worker who will use it. Companies need to keep the tracking of software current, which will make it easier for a firm to get a grip on what it's actually using. He called it software assets management, or SAM.
"It allows you to track what's installed. It allows you to track where things are coming from, what has maintenance, what doesn't have maintenance, and everything in between," said Beruk, whose organization works in 80 countries. Its members include Microsoft, Quark, Dell, HP and Apple.
"In the U.S., we have a 20 percent piracy rate. One of every five copies of software is unlicensed so you have to imagine that most businesses may have some unauthorized software. The path that they can choose is a path of not doing anything or being proactive by conducting an audit to determine what is installed versus what it has licensed. Or take a little bit more of an aggressive posture but one that will yield a natural return, which would be implementing a software assets management program," said Beruk.
"I just want to encourage people to take this matter seriously from a business point of view and a risk point of view, from malware and legal risks," said Blank. "Software licensing and software asset management should really be on a company's top 10 checklist of corporate governance, and a responsibility that they have to look at."

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) is based on the credits from the work you have done in your life. You must be found disabled before your date last insured (DLI) to be found eligible for SSDI. Your DLI is calculated by counting your "quarters of coverage" from your earnings record. You must have 20 "quarters of coverage" of the last 40 quarters. Simply put, you must have worked 5 years of the last ten years (in general). In addition to having enough credits you must also be found disabled under Social Security's five-step sequential evaluation:
- Step 1 – Are You Working? The Social Security Administration defines work as "Substantial Gainful Activity" (SGA). SGA is roughly defined as work from earnings that average more than $1,260 (2020) a month. If you are making that amount you generally cannot be considered disabled.
- Step 2 – Is Your Condition "Severe"? Severe is defined by the Social Security Administration as: your condition must interfere with basic work-related activities for your claim to be considered.
- Step 3 – Is Your Condition on the List of Disabling Conditions? The Listings are very hard to meet in most cases and not always interpreted as a common reading would suggest. If you meet a listing you are gravely ill. The listings are found here.
- Step 4 – Can You Do the Work You Did Previously? The Social Security Administration will look at your past work and determine if it was sedentary, light, medium, or heavy. They also will evaluate the skill level: unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled. For instance, an attorney would be sedentary skilled work. The Dictionary of Occupational Titles is found here.
- Step 5 – Can You Do Any Other Type of Work? If the Social Security Administration finds that you cannot do what you used to do, they then look to see if you can do anything else. This is where the "grids" come into play. The grids are the Medical-Vocational Guidelines. The grids are only for exertional impairments. Non-exertional impairments are not considered by the grids. If you are found to be capable of any other work, you will be found not disabled. The grids can be found here.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is a need-based program and you must meet income/asset standards in addition to being found disabled under the five steps above. In 2020, SSI is $783.00 per month for an individual and $1,175 for an eligible couple. SSI will be reduced by 1/3 if you are receiving financial help from others. In NC, SSI recipients are also entitled to Medicaid.
SSI is also available for disabled children and is evaluated under a different standard than adults. Children must have a medically determinable physical or mental impairment or impairments (including emotional or learning problems) which result in marked and severe functional limitations, and the impairment(s) has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months or be expected to result in death. Child SSI terminates when the child turns 18. The claimant will then have to reapply and be evaluated under the above adult sequential evaluation.
At the Bishop Law Firm, we are familiar with the types of Social Security Disability benefits and want to help you. We represent Social Security Disability clients in Raleigh, Durham, Rocky Mount, Wilson, Smithfield, Louisburg, Chapel Hill, Roanoke Rapids and surrounding areas in North Carolina. Call us today!

The Precious Metals Stocks Suppressed Due The Recovery Of The S&P500
In today's modern world of investment opportunities there are a myriad of attractions for an investors hard earned funds. There are pros and cons for each one of them and sooner or later they all have their day in the sun. Investments on offer include but are not limited to; currencies, real estate, land, art, antiques, bonds, stocks, coins, various funds, crypto currencies, etc.
Our particular interest is the precious metals mining sector which unfortunately has been battered over the last five or six years and remains very much in the unwanted category. However, we could argue that "the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets." A saying that is attributed to Baron Rothschild, a member of the Rothschild banking family. He made a fortune by investing in the uncertainty that followed the Battle of Waterloo against France, when his peers where disposing of their holdings. Is the precious metals sector bleeding at the moment? we don't think so, but this sector is most certainly close to it and worthy of further consideration.
The Gold Bugs Index (HUI) Chart
The chart below shows that there is strong resistance at the 180 level and despite a number of attempts to breakout the precious metals mining stocks have failed to do so. The technical indicators such as the MACD and the STO are in the oversold zone with the RSI sitting just above the 30 level which is regarded by some technicians as a buy signal should the stocks drop below this level.
The recent sell-off from 180 to 150 wiped 16% of the value of this index......... READ MORE
The sudden drop in the S&P 500 had an immediate impact on gold as it jumped $12.00 or so. The trade war between China and the US has made the markets nervous..

A bit of controversy! Ooh. I have had some mixed feedback on last week's post about imperfections in craft. The comments on the blog were positive.
"You can always tell apart of the work of a master carpenter and a amateur, an amateur is resigned to accepting his mistakes whilst a master carpenter knows how to hide his." R Beaver
"Agreed. Striving for perfection and/or the impossible makes something beautiful, but perfection itself without the toil can be a bit boring and/or soulless." Anonymous
But I had a face to face disagreement this week with someone who said I was betraying the trade and that I should not advertise the fact that we make mistakes. On the one hand, I can see that from a customer's point of view, having spent upwards of £2000 for a pair of bespoke shoes, they might not like to think that they are not perfect. But on the other hand, they are not just buying a pair of bespoke shoes, they are entering into a process, a dialogue, an exchange with the artisan. And having built up a relationship with your shoemaker, you realise that what matters is not just how they look (though this is very important), but how they fit; where the leather comes from; what adaptations they have made for you; the hand work involved; the fact that you can choose what features the shoes have. In short, all the choices and interactions which go into the bespoke process.
And by the way, as a last point, our bespoke shoes look magnificent and beautiful. We would never deliver them to a customer if they were substandard. The criteria with which I judge their appearance are much harsher than any punter would ever apply. Just feast your eyes on these beauties!
These are a pair of two tone summer shoes made from roe deer skin and canvas. There is a great back story to the deer skin. In Scotland, they cull the deer every year and they were just burning the carcasses. So the very enterprising folk at our favourite tannery in Scotland decided to rescue the skins and put them to good use. The result being this wonderfully soft leather which has a beautiful grain and texture. The shoes have eyelet perforations in the waists for air circulation. I think the combination of colour and texture is lovely. Love the profile of this shoe.
Next we have a brogued derby boot in golden tan French grain. This has a light square waist which means it goes from a chunky 3/8" sole to a much thinner sole in the waist. This is accentuated by by the sticker sole. Notice the extra brogue detailing on the counter and the Norwegian welt. This is where the upper is folded out to form the welt and the welting stitches are visible on the side of the boots. It makes for a more weatherproof construction. Looks cool too.
Next up our classic Saddle boot in black made for a lady. Only difference is the more shapely last. Nice boots!
Last and, in this case, least, a pair of black calf loafers with a lake in ostrich. Marmite shoes I think. Love 'em or hate 'em. No middle ground. Fortunately, our client loves them, which is all that counts in the long run. Monogrammed band - say no more.

JT Eaton spray for bed bugs is one of the most popular pesticides for doing battle with the infamous Cimex Lectarius night time creepy crawlies. You may have known someone else who dealt with bed bugs and if you talked about it at all, inevitably products like JT Eaton and Temprid enter the conversation.
But before you run out to buy a bottle or spray can, just stop to ask yourself: what do you really know about these products? What does this product contain? Are there any dangers of side effects, and if yes, what could they be?
Recent news: mother kills infant, sickens four other children attempting to apply bed bug chemical pesticides in her home.
It is crucially important to do your homework on this one, and the first thing your research will tell you is that there are different types of sprays of JT Eaton for bedbugs out there, and you should choose one that fits your requirement the most. In this post, we will focus on mainly two different types of bed bug sprays which are popular, and the benefits and cons for each of them.
JT Eaton Oil Based Bed Bug Spray, a Quart:
At $18.36 on amazon, this spray is a bit in the high price range, but it is certainly worth a buy. This product is an oil based liquid that primarily contains about 0.13% of pyrethrin and 1.27% of Piperonyl Butoxide. This is effective in killing brown dog ticks, fleas and definitely bed bugs to keep your environment totally insect-free. You can buy either a quart, 4 gallons or even 5 gallons of this product. The limited time of warranty is one year.
1. This bed bug spray delivers on its promise. It effectively kills bed bugs, unlike the other bed bug sprays which only temporalily paralyze the pests when saturated.
2. You will not run into extra expenditures by calling the exterminator. This bed bug is permanently effective, getting rid of all types of insects without causing any hassle, but usually just the ones you can see, with potential side effects from pyrethrum as headache, ringing of the ears, nausea, tingling of fingers and toes, breathing problems, and other nervous system problems.
Pretty standard side effects associated with any types of chemical pesticides, and what we caution our readers to heed and ultimately decide for themselves if it's worth the risk.
1. One of the complaints that users have is against the stink. This product leaves behind a cloud of stink that needs to be effectively aired out. Also, make sure that you leave the room after spraying the liquid, since the chemicals can make you woozy.
2. Some users have also stated that the oil spray kills bed bugs only on contact, otherwise it is not so efficient.
3. The oil based liquid could create stains in the carpet or cause the veneer polish to peel off the wooden furniture.
Despite the cons, this product can be used with some safety guidelines set in place. Wear a mask while spraying, and then leave the room.
(to learn about a natural solution read our reviews of Bedroom Guardian and Defensive End! )
Close the doors and windows so that the spray can do its work. About an hour later make sure that you open up the windows so that the chemicals are cleared up. Once the room is properly ventilated, there will be no chance of being affected by the spray.
JT Eaton Aerosol Water Based Insect Spray:
This product is priced at $13.68, and you certainly will be getting value for your money if you go for this one. It contains about .15% of pyrethrins, .30% of permethrins, and .75% of piperonyl butoxide. Not only is it effective in killing bed bugs, but it will also get rid of cockroaches, ants and even dust mites.
It claims to provide about 12 days residual protection once it has been sprayed in an infested area. This 7 ounce spray bottle comes with one year warranty.
The reviews on bed bug spray by JT Eaton review has been quite positive with very few users coming up with complaints.
1. This bed bug product works quite efficiently, where customers have witnessed that their room and beds stay insect-free for about 12 weeks and more after the first spray.
2. The smell is not at all overpowering. It stinks very little, with some customers stating that the smell is so light that it is easily dismissible.
3. The price is much cheaper than an exterminator.
1. The spray works only if it comes in contact with the insects. This product may not eliminate all the eggs if you have to keep spraying every 10 days, as bed bugs and most bugs have a hatch cycle of 7 to 21 days.
Or else it might take some more time to get rid of all the bed bugs. Thus diligent re-applications may be required, and ultimately may result in decreased efficacy if sporadic treatments are administered.
2. Some users have filed complaints saying that the nozzle of this bottle does not work well. It can get easily clogged, so it needs to be cleaned every single time before use.
Overall, the reviews on bed bug sprays of JT Eaton speak of its effectiveness, but beware of side effects . Obviously the side effects on a product like this are not likely to be known until years down the road, as has been the case with many neurological disorders and birth defects from Roundup as well as Cipro.
We however cannot recommend it because in order for us to make a recommendation on a product, it has to be completely safe, affordable, and effective.
But it's a free country!
So choose your bed bug weapon with care. JUST don't kill your kids.

Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum have begun offering the price discount to cooking gas customers, the oil ministry has said in a statement. Customers can pay using net banking, credit and debit cards at the time of online booking, it said. The discounted amount will be seen on customers' screens as well as the cash memo accompanying the cylinder.
India has about 21 crore cooking gas consumers and most of them pay by cash currently.
"The incentive will encourage more and more liquefied petroleum gas consumers to go for cashless mode of transactions," the statement said.
State oil companies are already offering 0.75% discount on the purchase of petrol and diesel to customers paying digitally. These efforts are in line with the Narendra Modi-led government's thrust on reducing the use of cash in the economy.

In Your Face
How Cosmetics Companies Conceal the Truth
Cosmetics companies are forging ahead into a futuristic world with claims that nanoparticles deliver refreshing vitamins to your skin and stem cells repair damaged cells. Sales are booming, but the lack of regulation and transparency on ingredients mean that you could be spreading poison on your face.
Nina Royal, who is a massage therapist and mother of two in Sarasota, Fla., considers herself to be a news-conscious, health-savvy consumer. But she's still baffled when she buys cosmetics.
"How can I know if the chemical ingredients listed on the label are safe or if the product is as effective, organic or anti-aging as the packaging claims?" she asks. "There are so many new cosmetics constantly launching with few facts accompanying them to help people make an informed decision before buying."
We couldn't have said it better. The $35 billion worldwide cosmetics industry (everything from a $2 tube of lip gloss to a $200 jar of so-called cellular repair serum) always has operated on novelty, glamour and the promise of beauty. These days, however, the shelves are growing even more crowded and confusing than ever before.
Market-research firm Mintel International Group documented more than 370,000 new beauty products between 2003 and 2008. New brands constantly hit the shelves, and these new names, which held a 3 percent market share just 5 years ago, now rake in 30 percent of total sales, according to NPD Group, which is another market-research firm. Meanwhile, most manufacturers reformulate the ingredients that are in 25 percent of their products every year, according to European Commission. That means that not only are there dozens of new lipsticks from which to choose, but the formulations of the brands that you bought for years constantly change under your nose.
In this endlessly shifting sea, you'd expect to find some confirmation that these products are safe for you to put on your skin. You'd be wrong.
Although Food and Drug Administration has overseen the U.S. cosmetics industry since 1938, it lacks the power to approve products or ingredients before they hit store shelves. FDA simply calls for manufacturers to self-regulate, which they do through Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)—a group that is funded and staffed by the industry to review the safety of ingredients and products.
In 30 years, CIR has reviewed the safety of only 11 percent of the 10,500 ingredients that are in cosmetics, according to Environmental Working Group (EWG), which is an organization that specializes in toxic-chemical research and safety. That leaves roughly 9,350 ingredients that never have been evaluated by any safety institution.
That's a big problem when you consider that the average U.S. consumer uses 10 cosmetic products that have a total of 126 different ingredients each day, according to Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC), which is a nonprofit coalition that is dedicated to eliminating dangerous chemicals from cosmetics through research and advocacy. Many of these ingredients are industrial chemicals, such as formaldehyde, lead, 1.4-dioxane and other phthalates, according to EWG.
A Virtual Face: The Latest Way To Sell
Of all of the governing bodies that are in the world, only European Commission has defined what's toxic in cosmetics. In 2005, it banned carcinogens, mutagens and reproductive toxins (CMRs). Thousands of these remain in U.S. products. European Commission has banned the use of more than 1,100 ingredients. FDA has banned 10.
Alas, buyer beware is the all-too-familiar refrain when you shop for cosmetics.
INNOVATION OR WEIRD SCIENCE? There's been no shortage of cosmetics innovations in the past 4 years, and products that are aimed at reversing—or at least masking—the ravages of time are the primary driver. Anti-aging skin products garnered $1.6 billion in annual U.S. sales in 2008 (the latest year for which data are available), according to Mintel. That segment is expected to expand another 20 percent through 2013. On Amazon.com, for instance, we found in March 1,050 different anti-aging cosmetic products from which to choose.
The latest products jigger with the amino acid sequences that are inside stem cells under the promise that the amino acids contain regenerative properties that can help damaged (old) skin cells repair themselves. In other words, they purportedly take away wrinkles. Since 2006, dozens of these creams have appeared on the U.S. market.

Benign intracranial hypertension is a medical condition that refers to increased pressure inside the skull. Symptoms often include severe headaches, nausea, blurred vision, and ringing in the ears. Benign intracranial hypertension is usually considered idiopathic, as it does not appear to be the result of any congenital or environmental cause. A doctor can confirm the presence of hypertension and rule out cancerous brain tumors and other conditions through a series of brain scans and eye exams. Prescription migraine medications are often enough to provide relief to people with mild to moderate benign intracranial hypertension, though surgery may be necessary for individuals with severe pain.
Pressure in the skull increases when there is an overabundance of cerebrospinal fluid. In normal amounts, the fluid surrounds and protects the brain from injury. Too much fluid causes pressure to build up and can lead to severe discomfort. Medical research has been unable to determine exact causes of influxes in cerebrospinal fluid, though it appears to be linked to a number of different medications and diseases. Obesity, iron deficiency anemia, and hypothyroidism are predictors of benign intracranial hypertension, as are lithium drugs, birth control pills, and steroids.
Most people who experience benign intracranial hypertension suffer from frequent migraines, dizziness, nausea, and hearing problems. Pressure can build up enough to suppress the optic nerve, which can result in eye problems. Individuals may experience blurry or double vision, a loss of peripheral vision, or even temporary blindness. A person who has migraines and other problems associated with intracranial pressure should contact his or her primary care physician to receive a proper diagnosis.
A doctor can conduct a physical exam and medical history to look for eye swelling or identifiable causes of headaches. If the physician suspects benign intracranial hypertension, he or she will usually refer the patient to a neurologist for a more thorough examination. Specialists may conduct magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography scans to look for abnormalities such as brain tumors. Occasionally, a patient must undergo a spinal tap so that doctors can confirm high levels of cerebrospinal fluid.
Benign intracranial hypertension is often a temporary condition that will dissipate on its own over time. Doctors usually attempt to treat the condition, however, in an effort to relieve the frequency and intensity of migraines. Neurologists often prescribe oral medications that can reduce migraine symptoms and limit the body's production of cerebrospinal fluid. If medications are ineffective, invasive surgical procedures to drain excess fluid can provide relief. Patients are typically instructed to schedule regular checkups to make sure that symptoms do not return.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Veeam reports on ESX
I just had a chat with Veeam Software's Ratmir Timashev about the release of their first commercial product, Veeam Reporter for VMware Infrastructure 3. The Russian company may already be known to some of you for its free tools — Veeam FastSCP, which administrators can use for backup or to copy large ISO images, and Veeam RootAccess, which allows ESX administrators to gain root access to an ESX server remotely. At any rate, the deal with Veeam Reporter is as follows: it collects data on ESX virtual machines, virtual networks and virtual switches, stores that data, and then displays it as a Microsoft Visio document.
What's this good for? "This is extremely useful for planning high availability with VMotion," Timashev told me. There are no other convenient ways to get "a good representation of where you can move your VMs," he claims.
Timashev admits that Veeam Reporter doesn't expose any data that you couldn't find with VMware Virtual Center; the advantage is that you can "conveniently save the data and report on it." Currently, Veeam Reporter takes a point-in-time image that the administrator must manually launch. For future versions, Veeam is working on automating the change management capability, plus giving admins an easy way to see what has changed.
Other features might include reporting on security permissions and storage, plus storing data in a database rather than Visio. List price for Veeam Reporter is $120 per managed ESX CPU. You can get it here.

"After their abusive father is jailed, two sisters being raised in a remote area of Chile find they have to answer to their uncle, a drug kingpin who wants his missing product back."
Yeah, I'm back again but only briefly. I've had another non-eventful birthday (apart from James Herbert dying on it!) last week, finally figured out how to turn off all the annoying random characters that were being added to the names of the images I uploaded to Photobucket, and I've been spending way too long playing on Twitter. Let's face it, as much fun as Twitter is, I'm primarily a blogger so I can't be confined to 140 character limits forever.
Anyway, I missed out on Patricio Valladares' "Hidden in the Woods" last year so I watched it yesterday. I can't say that I was overly impressed although it's certainly gory enough for most people and has a couple of nice-looking Chilean girls in it.
Thanks to "Hidden in the Woods", I had to look up where Chile was on the map. I always thought that Chile was an island somewhere near Portugal rather than a long, straggly country in South America so I learnt something. Geography has never been my strong point, but I had to Google where Chile was after watching this film so that I never accidentally go there. It's probably a great country, but this film makes it look like a horribly uncivilised place to be. There are too many trees and violently insane people living among them for my liking.
|Siboney Lo as Ana
The real trouble with "Hidden in the Woods" though is that despite all the shock scenes and gore, it isn't so much a horror movie as just another rape-revenge, "faux-grindhouse", exploitation movie with a ludicrous crime story forced into the mix. I'm not a big fan of this subgenre and always fail to see the joke. That's assuming that this was put together as a bit of fun and not meant to be a serious drama. "Inspired by true events" doesn't seem that likely unless Chile really does contain so many rapists in its sylvan areas or have police even more useless than the ones in "Inside".
Paradoxically, acting and filming wise, "Hidden in the Woods" isn't a bad movie as such. It's obviously ragged in places, but it doesn't reek of someone trying to intentionally make a "so bad, it's good" abomination (although a few comic touches particularly during Ana's short career as a prostitute may make you wonder). I liked the gore effects and almost got into what Patricio Valladares was trying to do about two-thirds of the way through, but by then, it was too late. Homaging dozens of better horror movies (including "Spider Baby", "The Hills Have Eyes", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Frontier(s)" and even "The Woman") isn't so clever when there's hardly any originality used elsewhere.
Having willingly suspended my disbelief during the schizophrenic tonal changes and poorly realised plot, I can't easily put my finger on why the story didn't work for me except that the lead female characters were either too flat or too inconsistent and didn't really evoke any kind of sympathy. It's pretty hard to sympathise with an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals anyway even if you imagine that the girls might clean up rather nicely. The men in this film are all one-dimensional and despicably vile as well.
|Carolina Escobar as Anny
Basically, "Hidden in the Woods" is a misogynistic tale of murder, rape, incest, prostitution, cannibalism, drug dealers, torture, and even more rape and murder. If any of those combined elements interest you then knock yourself out. If you want to actually feel something for the victims in a mean-spirited movie then I recommend watching something else such as "I Spit on Your Grave" or "The Last House on the Left" (either the originals or the remakes). Even "A Serbian Film" has more pathos than "Hidden in the Woods".
The "Reservoir Dogs" ending just ruins any time invested in trying to get involved with the characters, thus leaving the experience unsatisfying and forgettable. In fairness, the characters are such damaged goods that no happy ending is possible, but it still feels like a cop-out especially with the clunky twist during the end credits.
Inevitably, there is already an American remake planned which will, surprisingly, also be directed by Patricio Valladares. With a few changes, it might be okay, but I highly doubt it.

NEWARK — The losers and many of their fans navigated a sad journey home.
The winners and their fans explored their options.
That was the lay of the land in Newark on Saturday, the day after four teams from the NCAA East Regional were whittled to two and the day before a classic match-up of Kentucky and North Carolina takes place at the Prudential Center for a Final Four berth.
Most who remained for the final bit of March Madness either festively took in the sites of neighboring New York City, while some capitalized on the events in Brick City.
"They've been pretty hyped," said Matilda Gouacide, a city of Newark volunteer stationed at the Newark Airport Marriott, the Tar Heels' host hotel, to assist out-of-towners.
Gouacide said she saw many UNC fans using their game-free day to take day trips to Manhattan, while others headed back to the arena to take part in FanFest festivities.
"A few were a little upset because they had to leave," she said.
At Newark Penn Station, some out-of-town fans were fleeing for brighter lights of the Big Apple. How could they not? — it's right there, they offered.
"We're just going to go into the city and tool around," said JoAnn Rice, a Danville, Ky., resident staying at the Hilton with her 23-year-old son Alex.
• Your ultimate guide to the NCAA East Regional in Newark
The two Kentucky fans, who have been in Newark before but never stayed overnight, planned to meet Alex's older brother in Manhattan and return to New Jersey in the evening. They said they'd like explore Newark a bit more before today's East Regional final.
The Rices and numerous others who came from around the country for the tournament said they'd been given little direction about what areas of Newark are dangerous or where to find the best bars and restaurants.
• After heartbreaking loss in NCAA East Regional, Ohio State fans say goodbye to Newark
• Newark Mayor Booker says NCAA East Regional tournament weekend has been a success
• Crowds scarce in the Ironbound on off-day for NCAA East Regional games in Newark
• Marquette team, fans depart from Newark after last night's blowout loss to UNC
• North Carolina crushes Marquette, 81-63, in Newark to advance to Elite Eight
• Fans visiting Newark for NCAA East Regional explore N.J., New York City
• Newark leaves positive impression on visitors during NCAA East Regional practices, FanFest
"There was a little lack of communication from the people running this," said Chip Hood, a Charlotte, N.C., man who was waiting on an NJ Transit direct to New York with several friends. No one told them "go here and you can be safe."
Some said they hadn't heard of the Ironbound. On Ferry Street on Saturday, basketball fans were noticeably absent from one of Newark's most renowned neighborhoods. At Iberia Peninsula Restaurant, a hangout this weekend for UNC fans, owner Jorge Fernandes said Friday night's turnout was "very good," but not what he'd expected. He called it a "busy Friday."
The same seemed true Saturday, when his lunch crowd increased just slightly over a typical Saturday.
"We are close to New York and I think, probably, a lot of people took the time to visit," he said.
At Mompou, which is usually closed at lunchtime on a Saturday, owner Steve Yglesias opened the doors in hopes of a fan turnout. But just a few tables were filled around 2 p.m., and not many people had come in earlier, Yglesias said. There was a capacity crowd Friday night for the restaurant, which is catering to Kentucky fans, but a few said they would head for New York today.
"A couple of them were saying they were so close to Manhattan, and they may never be near here again," said the owner.
But there were others who wanted to take in a bit more of the state's largest city. UNC alum Al Gilmore, 67, of Holly Springs, N.C., said he and his wife planned to stay in Newark last night to try out the recommended Spanish food.
"You know, sometimes (Newark) doesn't have a great reputation," he said.
Marc and Michael Brummer, the brothers who own and operate Hobby's, Newark's oldest deli and one of its most famous eateries, said business has been strong since fans and media have descended on the city. The two men said they welcomed the added hustle but were more interested in bolstering Newark's image as a destination.
At the Hilton Newark Airport, a giant poster displaying the tournament brackets was still hanging behind the front desk — for Ohio State fans checking out, a sober reminder of Friday night's loss to Kentucky.
Several hotel workers and guests said the band and cheerleaders greeted the athletes, playing OSU's fight song, when they arrived back at the hotel after the game at about 1 a.m.
"The players came in and they were sad. They could hardly look up," said
OSU trustee Walden.
Lynette Brown, a guest services agent at the Hilton, said numerous OSU fans checked out this morning.
"They were sad to go," she said.

In embedded systems nothing works until everything works. This means that you should always start with a working system and gradually evolve it.
Keeping this in mind, the fastest and most cost-effective way to get started with QP/QM/QTools quickly is to acquire one of the very inexpensive evaluation boards we support (e.g., EK-TM4C123GXL or EFM32-SLSTK3401A) and use it to run the provided example projects, before making any changes or trying to use your own target hardware.
Building and running the provided examples on a supported board with a supported development toolchain mitigates many risks for you and makes a lot of sense, even if the board is different than your ultimate target hardware. It allows you to build confidence in the QP/QM/QTools software, your toolchain installation, your debugger, etc. Only after convincing yourself that the example projects work "as is", you should think about gradually adapting the projects to your own specific needs.
The Getting Started Guides describe how to download and install Quantum Leaps software components and how to build a very simple "Blinky" application.

Why the Vols will win: It's really simple for Tennessee: this is a must-win if it wants to get in the NCAA Tournament as an at-large bid. Not that a win would ensure that, but losing at home would likely ensure just the opposite, especially with a surplus of teams in The Bubble this season. The Vols have won seven of eight games (also nine of 12), and seem to have found their stride, even if it hasn't been pretty at times. UT is currently tied with Alabama for fourth in the conference, and along with Vandy and Florida, are vying for a top-four conference finish, which rewards in a first-round bye in the SEC Tournament. Kentucky has already clinched the regular season title and the No. 1 seed, but the remaining top seeds will be decided on Saturday. With a UT win and a Kentucky victory over the Gators, Tennessee would finish second after being picked 11th in the preseason. A UT loss ensures a fifth-place finish, forcing the Vols to play in the first round next Thursday. Tennessee's capable of the win, especially at home. This game will all be about pride for UT.
Why the Commodores will win: Guard John Jenkins and forward Jeffery Taylor are the SEC's two top scorers, averaging 20.1 and 17.4 points a game, respectively. Each is also shooting nearly 47 percent from beyond the arc. Vandy has won four conference road games this season, and solid shooting has been a part of it. The Commodores have won four of five, including upsetting Florida at home on Tuesday. Good perimeter shooting and taking away rebound chances for Jeronne Maymon and Jarnell Stokes will be key for Vanderbilt to win.
