One of the greatest of biblical scholars, Jerome was noted for his authorship of the Vulgate, a revised Latin translation of the Bible. Dürer's remarkably peaceful, ordered image of the saint in his study expresses the appeal of this Christian scholar par excellence among contemporary Renaissance humanists.
Jerome (ca. 342-420) was the most learned of the Latin fathers of the church and among the greatest of biblical scholars. From 382-85 he served as secretary to Pope Damasus I, who directed him to revise the Latin version of the New Testament. Jerome continued his biblical work after founding a religious community at Bethlehem in 386; virtually all of the Latin Bible (known as the Vulgate) was either translated from Hebrew and Greek or reworked by him.
The appeal of Saint Jerome among Renaissance humanists is reflected in the fact that Dürer created more images of this scholarly saint than of any other in his graphic oeuvre.1 In the engraving of 1514, Dürer portrayed the saint as an exemplar of the Christian scholar: humbly clad in monk's robes, he hunches over his writing table within a simple but comfortable and profoundly serene cell. On the rear wall of the chamber hangs a cardinal's hat, an ahistorical reference to Jerome's papal appointment. A lion, legendary companion of the saint, drowses in the foreground, guarding access to the chamber; a dog sleeps peacefully by the lion's side. The ever present threat of death and the transience of human existence, symbolized by the hourglass on the rear wall and the skull on the windowsill, is lessened by the spiritual contemplation of eternity, here expressed in Saint Jerome's total absorption in his divine task, and the small crucifix placed at the corner of his desk.
Peter Parshall has demonstrated that the large pear-shaped gourd suspended from a rafter at the upper right is a veiled reference to a famous philological debate that occupied Jerome for more than a decade.2 In his translation of the Bible, Jerome chose to translate a Hebrew term for a plant mentioned in the Old Testament story of Jonah (kikayon) as the Latin hedera, a type of ivy, rather than the more commonly accepted cucurbita, or gourd. This led to a prolonged and sometimes acrimonious scholarly debate with Saint Augustine (354-430), who strongly disagreed with Jerome on this point. Although the gourd translation had long been accepted over Jerome's ivy, even in Dürer's day the intellectual debate was continually cited by humanists as a testament to Jerome's erudition and critical scholarship.
Dürer's Saint Jerome in his Study has often been interpreted in conjunction with two other master engravings (Meisterstiche) by the artist, also from 1513-14- Knight, Death and the Devil (1513; AMAM inv. 44.29), and Melencolia (1514)--and viewed especially as a spiritual (if not formal) pendant to the latter work.3
Weber suggested that the Saint Jerome and Melencolia corresponded to the traditional scholastic divisions of secular and divine knowledge; and that Saint Jerome, who consciously relinquished the former for the latter, was the perfect example of divinely inspired erudition.4 Panofsky further contrasted the brooding angst and disordered surroundings of the tormented genius in Melencolia with the peaceful diligence and ordered efficiency of Saint Jerome; the Saint Jerome "opposes a life in the service of God to what may be called [in the Melencolia] a life in competition with God."5
In contrast to these two antithetical aspects of the contemplative life, Knight, Death, and the Devil represents the life of the Christian in "the practical world of decision and action."6
Whether or not Dürer's Meisterstiche were conceived as a set, they are well matched in style, size, and technical complexity, and represent the pinnacle of the artist's achievement as an engraver. The Saint Jerome is remarkable for the range of tones achieved through exceptionally delicate burin work; the precise yet expressive linear perspective; and the flickering sunlight which plays over the forms, activating surfaces and differentiating textures as disparate as stone, cloth, and soft fur. In his brief account of Dürer's work in The Lives of the Artists, Vasari singled out Dürer's virtuoso depiction of light entering the saint's chamber in this engraving as especially worthy of praise.7

Born in Nuremberg in 1471, Albrecht Dürer was the son of the goldsmith Albrecht Dürer the Elder (1427-1502); his godfather, Anton Koberger, was the leading German publisher of his day. The young Dürer trained with his father, then was apprenticed to Michel Wolgemut, a painter and designer of woodcuts, from 1486 to 1489. Between 1490 and 1494, Dürer traveled through Germany and Switzerland; he visited Venice and other cities in Italy from autumn 1494 to spring 1495, then returned to settle in Nuremberg. He visited Italy again between 1505 and 1507. In 1509, Dürer purchased a house in Nuremberg and became a member of the Greater Council, marks of his increased prosperity and social standing. Dürer received commissions for several projects from the Emperor Maximilian I, who granted the artist an annuity in 1515. This honor was continued by his successor, Charles V. After Maximilian's death in 1519, Dürer's activities in the Netherlands in 1520-21 are described in a detailed travel diary; towards the end of his life he also wrote theoretical treatises on proportion ( Underweysung der Messung, 1525; Bücher von menschlicher Proportion, 1528) and fortifications (Befestigungslehre, 1527).
Prolific and highly original, Dürer produced paintings, drawings, engravings, etchings, woodcuts, and drypoints with equal facility and technical brilliance. His international reputation was primarily the result of his activity as an engraver and woodcut designer, however. His early training as a goldsmith and metal engraver focused his attention on the untapped artistic potential of the printed image; his knowledge of publishing fostered an awareness of the wide public audience for prints. Dürer endowed traditional devotional images with superior artistry, transforming them from textual accompaniments and objects of everyday use to independent works of art suitable for collecting.

Technical Data
The Oberlin impression of Saint Jerome in his Study is an excellent, early Meder "a" impression, with burr and clean surface, and no visible watermark. The sheet has been trimmed on all sides to just outside the image, but is otherwise in excellent condition with only minor staining on the verso. There are several unidentified collectors' marks on the verso, all in graphite: "FWOX," "A 78456," "G," and "VC / I / R." The delicate, silvery quality of the ink is characteristic of early impressions of this engraving.

Work-Life Balance vs. Work-Life Fitness
What constitutes a healthy balance of work and life is a personal matter that depends on the individual's own perception of work/life fitness
Work-Life Balance
In our tech-enabled, always on work environment, maintaining a healthy work-life balance is no easy feat. One reason it may be so difficult to achieve, is that we strive for "balance" in its most literal sense: "A state of equilibrium or parity characterized by cancellation of all forces by equal opposing forces," according to TheFreeDictionary.com. Thought of in this way, "work" and "life" become opposite and opposing forces, and we can only achieve "balance" when the two are in equilibrium. This black and white definition creates a false choice between "work" and "life" that sets us up for disappointment and frustration.
What we need is to adopt a more nuanced understanding of "balance" as it relates to our work lives; one that takes into account the fact that work consumes a significant portion of our time, and that for many of us, it is a viable investment option for our discretionary effort. In this regard, another alternative definition provided by TheFreeDictionary.com is more appropriate. Here "balance" is described as "a harmonious or satisfying arrangement or proportion of parts." The beauty of this definition is that it does not equate "balance" with mathematical equality. Rather, it provides for a more subjective interpretation that anoints individual discretion as the ultimate arbiter of what constitutes balance.
This is significant, because for some, work provides a greater sense of fulfillment than it does for others. They might not think twice about putting in a 10-hour day only to come home and spend their evening preparing for the next. Others may derive greater fulfillment from family interactions or hobbies, and may be extremely protective of their 40-hour work week. The point is that work-life balance is an individual matter. What's important is being true to you, because what constitutes a healthy balance for one person may be an extremely unhealthy balance for another.
Work-Life Fitness
Another way to look at work-life balance is to view it as an important part of your overall fitness. Donny Shimamoto, an AICPA volunteer and the founder and managing director of an IT audit and consultancy firm based in Honolulu, coined the term "Work/Life Fitness" to address the individual nature of work-life balance, and its susceptibility to one's life stage and career progression. "Basically, it comes down to the suitability or appropriateness of the ratio of 'work' to 'life' that a person chooses to undertake at a given point in time," Donny explains. Thought of in this way, work-life balance is a qualitative rather than a quantitative measure, and it all depends on the level of satisfaction and happiness you derive from working. Do you take pleasure from immersing yourself in your work and relish the feeling of completing a work project in which you had a lot invested? Or do you take greater pleasure in relaxing after dinner conversations with your spouse, playing catch with the kids, or throwing yourself into a hobby or household project? Some professionals "live to work" and receive great personal fulfillment and a stronger sense of accomplishment from their work, while others "work to live" and view their work primarily as a means of providing for their family or allowing them to partake in hobbies, travel or do other things that they find personally rewarding. The first person's work-life fitness may skew towards the work side of the scale, while the second person may have more weight on the life side. As Donny puts it, "I work a lot, because I'm one of those crazy people that actually LOVES my work. I get a lot of personal satisfaction from my work and work-related accomplishments. Does that mean that I don't have work-life balance? I tend to think no…" Work/life fitness does not mean perfect work-life parity or choosing one over the other. It means finding and maintaining a mix of work and life that works for you and allows you to feel fit.
Achieving Work/Life Fitness
To achieve work/life fitness, consider the things that you need to do and the things you want to do. What are your professional goals? Do you want to get married and have kids? Do you want to travel? If you have an important deadline coming up or are striving for a promotion, then you may find work/life fitness despite devoting more time to work. Remember, the ratio of work to life that you can take on while maintaining work-life fitness may shift as you progress into different life phases. For example, having children may mean that you have to put greater emphasis on family activities to feel fit. The key is being comfortable with who you are, where you are in your life and where you want to go – and knowing what makes you feel personally fulfilled. You can't have it all, but you can achieve work/life fitness, and strike a balance that's suited to the realities of your current life stage and future goals.

Editor's Notes: Political Excess, in Marketing
The presidential election, which you'll notice we have a small story about ("The Direct Marketing Election,"), has inundated Americans with marketing through every channel permissible for months. I'm guessing many people who allowed the candidates to contact them by email, phone or social media have lived to regret it, because the appeals have been constant.
I think this reveals more about direct marketing than politics. We've all seen the impact real-time digital channels have had on marketing.
The sheer volume of touchpoints available through all of those channels means two things. First, you can contact customers and prospects just about any time and anywhere you want to try them. And second, you probably don't have the bandwidth to do it effectively.
When I say effectively, I mean contact that meaningfully encourages a prospect or customer to buy, or at least stay positively inclined toward your brand. It seems like the more contact you have with your targets, the more effort you need to put into each contact to make it appealing and engaging. It can be easier to create a marketing message that discourages your target from buying than one that does your marketing good.
I think we see that all the time, and the chance your marketing impact shifts from positive to negative increases with each channel you use and touch you make. The danger is amplified when they just heard from you a day ago—or an hour ago, if you're a political fundraiser!
Seriously, the cover story goes into some of the ways the election campaigns didn't follow email best practices, and I think frequency is one area they went wrong. During work, during dinner, on weekends ... If a campaign had sent me an email with a donate button that said "Go away, you're bothering me," I would have hit that 100 times.
The numbers will tell the story. My impression was the campaigns were desperate and flailing. But maybe the keen minds behind them found data that said blasting out multiple emails an hour, all screaming about different subjects, is the most effective tack for political fundraisers. If so, the next elections could be a real nuisance.

The World's Greatest Lion by Ralph Helfer, illustrated by Ted Lewin
This is the story of Zamba the lion, one of the most well-known animal actors in film history. Zamba appeared as the MGM Lion as well as in many commercials and shows. Here, the focus is on how Zamba lost his parents and his survival as an orphan cub in Africa before being found by a woman and rescued. Zamba was allowed to roam free and grew larger and larger until she could no longer safely care for him. Happily, she had heard about Africa USA, an organization looking for a lion. Africa USA offered a safe haven and trained animals to not be aggressive. Zamba arrived at the ranch owned by Ralph Helfer and slowly grew gentler. The family's children used him as a warm place when watching TV and his best friend was one of the dogs on the ranch. Thanks to his rare gentle nature, Zamba worked in television and film. Then one day, a flood hit the ranch and forced Ralph to release all of his wild animals in an attempt to save them. Zamba led all of the animals to safety, proving himself to be the world's greatest lion.
As author of the book, Helfer tells his own story as well as Zamba's here. It is the story of the organization he founded, the one that saved Zamba's life. Through his training, Zamba was able to live a full life, filled with danger, learning and gentleness. The details Helfer shares add depth to the story. His moments of adventure are exciting but it is those moments of Zamba just being a lion that really are special.
Lewin gives us gold-hued images filled with the dust of Africa. His illustrations celebrate the connection of animal and human, especially during the chaos of the storm. Beautifully realistic, these illustrations fully capture the love between Helfer and Zamba.
This is a picture book biography that animal-loving children will enjoy immensely. Appropriate for ages 5-7.

Let me comment a little more on the long anticipated and celebrated entity designer. This implementation Microsoft engineers have delivered is not close to any entity designer software I have used in the past and additionallly, generates ugly code when the reverse engineering functionality is implemented. I could not understand why someone that is an entity (aka OOP) oriented developer would go with VS Entity designer solution and not choose saying NHibernate and the reverse engineering script with the addition of a well documented reveng.xml!
We will wait and see the addotption of the vb originate community that is more or less reluctant with all these oop considerations .net has introduces that rely far away from the class component model of vb!

Introduction to Linux
Posted by: capturdivya on: May 24, 2011
Operating System:
- An operating system is composed of two major parts; these parts are known as the "kernel" and the "userland".
- The kernel is responsible for handling communication between the physical hardware and the software running on the machine.
- The "userland" is comprised of system utilities and user applications. These include editors, compilers and server daemons.
- System utilities allowing you to maintain,monitor and even upgrade your system are also included.
Linux-Free and open source OS
- In the Linux operating system,Linux is a kernel, and requires additional software in order to make it an operating system.
- A Linux distribution is comprised of the Linux kernel, and a collection of "userland" software.
- The software is usually provided by the FSF23 and GNU24 organisations,as well as many private individuals. Some of it even originates from UCB's25 BSD26 Unix operating system
Components of the OS:
This is the physical equipment of the computer is composed.It includes
- keyboard and mouse
- video card and monitor
- network card
- CPU and the RAM
- The Linux kernel acts as the interface between the hardware and the rest of the operating system.
- The Linux kernel also contains device drivers, which are specific to the hardware peripherals
- The kernel is also responsible for handling things such as the allocation of resources(memory and CPU time), as well as keeping track of which applications are busy with which files, as well as security; and what each user is allowed to do on the operating system.
Standard Library of Procedures
- A Linux based operating system will have a standard library of procedures, which allows the "userland" software to communicate with the kernel.
- On most Linux based operating systems, this library is often called "libc".
calls to ask the kernel to open up a file for reading or writing, or to display text on the display,
even read in keystrokes from the keyboard.
Standard Utilities and User Applications
- A Linux based system will usually come with a set of standard Unix-like utilities; these are usually simple commands that are used in day-to-day use of the operating system, as well as specific user applications and services.
- This is typically software that the GNU Project has written and published under their open source license, so that the software is available for everyone to freely copy, modify and redistribute.
Example Commands, which allow users to edit and manipulate files and directories, perform calculations and even do jobs like the backups of their

I know why Hayi didn't win the final. It's all my fault. I jinxed her. Jo Mungeun, John Park, Lee Taekwon, Busker Busker, and Bae Sujeong. As some of you may know by now, this is a long list of runner-ups at the previous Korean singing competitions and as most of you may not know, I rooted for them to win. Now Hayi is a new addition to the list.
But I'll tell you what. I kind of already knew that Hayi was not going to win as her voice is not cut out for a singing competition where high-pitched, sometimes overpowering voices (or singers' ability to sing notes in a very high register) are favored and wowed by the viewers and audience. We've already seen it before when the likes of Lee Sora, Jo Gyuchan, and Jeong Yeop were eliminated from the Naneun Gasuda or NAGASU (나는 가수다, "I Am a Singer") or when Bobby Kim and Lee Hyunwoo were underappreciated by the NAGASU audience and viewers. All those are more understated singers than others featured on the show. They all failed to make the viewers' and audience get goosebumps by hitting overpoweringly high notes. That's the downside of singing competitions and music is not a competition. So I think it's already a miracle that Hayi has come this far, that she's brought us this far spellbound.
And in this vein, I think Hayi chose the wrong song. I know Roberta Flack is such a great singer and her song, "Killing Me Softly with His Song" (1973) was a number one hit and has been remade so many times until now. But honestly, I never listen to this song without getting bored to tears. It's always like the singer's killing me softly with her song (in a negative sense). I know it's all a matter of personal preference or taste, but it's obvious it failed to showcase her one-of-a-kind talent tonight especially when Park Jimin chose to sing Lim Jeong Hee's "Music Is My Life." I know there's no use to say what if's but I wonder what'd have happened if Hayi had chosen a Korean song that touches the Korean audience's heart to the deepest.
And here's one more thing: Given that Lim Jeong Hee's "Music Is My Life" sampled Diana Ross's 1970 hit, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," all four songs sung by Hayi and Jimin are "Pop Songs" (American/British popular music). Therefore I think it's a legitimate criticism from the show's fans that they should rename it "Pop Star," not "K-pop Star." It's like David Cook and David Archuleta singing all Korean songs in the American Idol final.
Even though it's true that we live in a "Winner-Take-All" world, I don't think it's true in this case. For both Hayi and Jimin can be winners in the long run. And looking on the bright side, it may indeed be Hayi's career blessing in disguise. And I wish her all the best!
Lee Hayi: "K-Pop Star" Final (aired on 04/29/2012)Roberta Flack: "Killing Me Softly with His Song"
Here's what the judges said:
Park Jin Young (or Park Jinyeong): I would give Hayi 100 points for (up to) the first 16 bars of the song. But she lost concentration and emotion in the middle of the song while ad-libbing the part without lyrics (humming along to the tune). A singer should be able to express emotions without lyrics too, but she failed to do it, which broke her concentration. So I averaged her points between the best (beginning) part and the worst (ending) part. (94 out of 100)
BoA: Hayi's voice has such a captivating power to it that sweeps over the audience. Her voice has such a bewitching power but as JYP just commented, if she really wants to be more expressive and wants to thrill the audience with better performances, then she needs to work more on body language (like hand gestures) and she needs to sing like she means it (just like an actress). I want her to sing more carried away by enthusiasm. (98 out of 100)
Yang Hyun Suk (or Yang Hyeonseok): Honestly, I like this song the most of all songs Hayi has picked so far for she didn't really need to sing high notes that she's been having trouble with. The Korean audience has a tendency to consider a person with high-pitched voice a good singer, but the reason why we, all three judges, keep praising Hayi is…. I wonder who else, I mean, among any professional singers in Korea, can sing this song as well as her. I felt really great (listening to her singing) and I told you I would be very generous with the scoring today. I don't care if I get bashed (for this). (99 out of 100)
Lee Hayi: "K-Pop Star" Final (aired on 04/29/2012)Adele: "Rolling in the Deep"
Yang Hyun Suk (or Yang Hyeonseok): I didn't wear headphones while other two judges wore them to hear everything, so I might be wrong. But Hayi amazed me with this rearrangement of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" that created a style that was strictly her own and also with her perfect rendition of the song, including such numerous ad-libs, totally in tune from the beginning till the end. On the other hand, Park Jimin demonstrated off-key flubbing here and there singing Lim Jeong Hee's "Music Is my Life." Well, again, I might have heard it wrong, but any way, I really appreciate her singing. I didn't know (until now) Adele's song could be interpreted and rendered this way. (99 out of 100)
Park Jin Young (or Park Jinyeong): This time, Hayi expressed definitely more of her feelings in this song and didn't lose it all along. I really appreciated it. But we don't always need to hit the high notes to get to the climax of the song; we can build to a climax by expressing emotions or changing tones. Just like Hayi and me did while practicing together to use different types of tones for the song, "Mercy." This is the problem that lies ahead of her. She has to solve it by practicing; she needs to learn how to reach the climax of the song and how to create a thrilling sensation for the song. (96 out of 100)
BoA: I coached Jimin when she was practicing this song (for the competition). When I heard Hayi was going to sing this song, I expected she would sing just like Adele because their vocal tones are quite similar. While listening to her singing the song, however, I was never reminded of the original singer, not to mention Jimin. And I never thought Hayi would nail the high notes this solidly. Today is the final and I think she deserves this score. (100 out of 100)
Finally, here's Hayi's final runner-up's speech: I feel so good 'cause I don't need to feel under pressure any more. I also have felt like crying but tried really hard to hold back my tears. At last it all ended, so I'm feeling bittersweet. I feel so relieved.
Yang Hyun Suk (or Yang Hyeonseok): Even though Hayi placed second tonight, she's the number one in my heart. Cheer up, Hayi!

Justin Timberlake returned to Saturday Night Live this week, but he wasn't the only familiar face making a comeback. The show also featured cameos from Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Dan Aykroyd, Paul Simon, Chevy Chase, Martin Short, recently departed cast member Andy Samberg, and Bill Hader's "Weekend Update" character, Stefon. Here are some of the best moments from the show:
Remember when Justin Timberlake had curls? Check out the most dramatic celebrity makeovers
The Five-Timers Club: "In case you don't know, this is the most exclusive club in New York," Timberlake said in his opening monologue upon joining the "Five Timers' Club" during his fifth stint hosting SNL. Fortunately he has SNL vet Steve Martin to show him around, and Alec Baldwin to explain that one of the favorite pastimes for the Five Timers is making the other cast members fight each other, Django Unchained-style.
"It's a Date": It wasn't a digital short, but Timberlake and Samberg revisited their "D--- in a Box" and "Mother Lover" characters for the "It's a Date" sketch, appearing as a singing duo of bachelors on a dating show — alongside Akroyd and Martin revisiting their legendary "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" characters. Poor Bobby Moynihan's character doesn't stand a chance.
"Weekend Update": Stefon's back! Apparently his long hiatus was because he took a writing job on Smash (makes sense). Watch him offer tips for Spring Break visitors to the city, including a club located in a burned-down Red Lobster and another one "based on the novel Push by Sapphire."
Moet & Chandon: In this we-can't-really-explain-why-it's-funny-but-it-is sketch, a mustachioed Timberlake plays a "feminist porn" star filming a commercial for champagne with ditsy former porn stars played by Vanessa Bayer and Cecily Strong. We particularly enjoy their impersonation of bubbles.
What were your favorite sketches from the night?

On Wednesday, North Korea's successful rocket launch surprised most of the world.
The intelligence community believed the rumors that the DPRK would delay its launch, and then was basically blindsided when it actually happened.
How unprepared?
Well, reports have surfaced that Obama's Asia team was at a party at the Japanese ambassador's house. Josh Rogin of Foreign Policy notes:
Several top U.S. officials dealing with Asia and North Korea from the State Department, the Pentagon, and the National Security Council were relaxing Tuesday night at the Japanese ambassador's Nebraska Avenue residence in Washington when the news came over their blackberries that North Korea had launched another Unha-3 rocket with a "satellite" attached, this time with much more success than a previous attempt in April.
Just minutes before the launch news became known, several officials were overheard remarking how nice it was that North Korea was apparently delaying the launch, giving U.S. North Korea watchers hope that their holiday festivities would not be interrupted.
The team were forced to "put down their drinks and sudden leave," Rogin writes.

Saturday Tattoos and Sunday Laziness
On Saturday my peacock + roses + butterflies tattoo was worked on a bit (shading and 2/4 roses were colored in) and an owl + flowers added to my right bicep. It sucked. I was tattooed for about 5 or 6 hours and had only eaten yogurt (Fage!!!) and a carrot muffin type thing before I went. Usually I try to hide my I'm-so-over-it face in public but I couldn't do it this time. By the end everyone in the shop knew I was ready to go HOME. My body hated me after; I was getting the chills every few minutes!
On Sunday I didn't accomplish much. Smellycakes spent the day with her Aunty and Uncle who took her swimming. According to them she was an absolute angel. My response? Duh.
I was able to squeeze in some hexies but not many. I hold my crochet hook in a death grip so my wrists are totally gone after one or two. *sigh* This will be a while.
August 16, 2010 8:21 pm
Your babies are adorable love the pictures and wowzers for 5-6 hours getting tatted I so want a knitting tattoo just need to find someone who's work I love first maybe it will be my prezzie to myself this year for my 43rd birthday;)
Hoping you feel better tomorrow and I would love to see the work you had done when it heals I love tattoos I have 2 got them ages and ages ago when I was 16 and 19 yrs of age and I was legal to drink at 19 years old to funny where does the time go.lol Hugs Darcy

Everyone knows that "the moon on the breast of new-fallen snow gives the luster of mid-day to objects below." That is, except during a lunar eclipse.
The luster will be a bit "off" on Dec. 21st, the first day of northern winter, when the full Moon passes almost dead-center through Earth's shadow. For 72 minutes of eerie totality, an amber light will play across the snows of North America, throwing landscapes into an unusual state of ruddy shadow.
The eclipse begins on Tuesday morning, Dec. 21st, at 1:33 am EST (Monday, Dec. 20th, at 10:33 pm PST). At that time, Earth's shadow will appear as a dark-red bite at the edge of the lunar disk. It takes about an hour for the "bite" to expand and swallow the entire Moon. Totality commences at 02:41 am EST (11:41 pm PST) and lasts for 72 minutes.
If you're planning to dash out for only one quick look - it is December, after all - choose this moment: 03:17 am EST (17 minutes past midnight PST). That's when the Moon will be in deepest shadow, displaying the most fantastic shades of coppery red.

Canham and David Messinger, Canham's advisor and director of the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory, are developing image-processing tools to analyze hyperspectral satellite images so that Middleton can better understand the area of Oaxaca the Zapotec civilization once populated. Previously, archeologists had taken advantage of remote sensing imagery to identify individual sites by eye or to use a few spectral bands to find archaeological markers in the vegetation and terrain. The hyperspectral satellite data, obtained by the Hyperion sensor aboard NASA's Earth Observing 1 satellite, includes many more spectral bands that form a data cube and allow researchers to map the area in more detail.
Canham's algorithm allows her to automatically analyze and identify the spectral signature of the materials located within each pixel in hyperspectral, and now multispectral, satellite images. The algorithm allows Canham to hypothesize, for example, that a given pixel might contain a small fraction of a material with a prominent spectral signature, which might be indicative of limestone rock. A larger fraction of that pixel might have a weak spectral signature, which could indicate an asphalt road. However, Canham and Middleton cannot verify this hypothesis until they actually survey the area by land to determine if the spectral signatures obtained through the analysis indicate the presence of limestone and asphalt.
In order to take the measurements necessary to create a spectral library of the area, Canham will use the FieldSpec Pro spectroradiometer. She won the use of this instrument from the Alexander Goetz Equipment Program last spring. A CIS microgrant will fund Canham's travel expenses to Mexico. ( Seehttp://www.rit.edu/news/story.php?id=48248)
The eventual goal is to create a viable land-use map to add to Middleton's research on the Zapotec civilization. "Overall, what we can do with hyperspectral data will never replace archaeologists, but we can help them look for "candidate" sites of interest," Canham says. "Our goal is just to make their life a little easier and possibly, eventually, a bit cheaper than the old ground walking surveys."

Coffee has become my new favorite ingredient when roasting meat.
It's an effortless way to add gobs of flavor to whatever I am making. All I do is add whole coffee beans to whatever spice blend I am using as a wet or dry rub, then grind it to a powder and apply to the meat. The coffee provides deep, rich flavors with just a hint of acid. It's a combination that works wonders for roasted meat.
I've tried the spice-coffee combination called for below on both beef and pork tenderloins; both were fantastic. You also could use it on chicken breasts or thighs for a "blackened" chicken.
The seasonings can be applied to the meat right before roasting. But if you have a little extra time, the flavor is even better if you rub the spices on the meat, then refrigerate it for several hours before roasting. And if you'd rather use these flavors in a wet rub, don't hesitate to add a little olive or canola oil to the blend.
If you're looking for a simple and speedy dinner, make the roasted pork tenderloin in this recipe and serve it as is with a side salad or some roasted vegetables. Or for something party-worthy (perhaps an Oscars viewing party), slice it, slap it on rounds of baguette, then top with a dollop of cherry jam. For the latter variation, the pork can be served warm or room temperature.
An electric spice grinder (or coffee grinder) is the easiest way to make the spice rub for this recipe. If you don't have one, substitute an equal amount of ground coffee for the beans, then use a mortar and pestle or food processor to gring everything together.
Start to finish: 35 minutes
Makes 36 appetizers
1 tablespoon coffee beans
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 pounds pork tenderloins
1 baguette, thinly sliced into 36 rounds
Olive oil
10-ounce jar cherry jam

Drinking in Season: Peach and Rosemary Cocktail
Putting the season's perfect produce into your cocktail shaker.
Get the Recipe
Soft and fuzzy to the touch, blushed with hues of orange, pink, and red, peaches are in season and I'm loving it. The market is flush with juicy, fragrant white and yellow peaches that are bursting with flavor. Since they're such a tender fruit, peaches should be handled with care—as our farmers say, a squeeze today creates a bruise tomorrow—and eaten with a day or two of purchase. With a lonely peach still sitting on my counter a few days after I bought it, it was a do or die situation (for the peach that is). A cocktail, sweet from peach juice, herbal from rosemary syrup and perfectly boozy from bourbon, was just the answer to this problem.
Ripe, almost squishy peaches work great for this cocktail, since the peaches will be muddled anyway and you're looking to get as much peach juice as possible. To balance out the sweet and tangy flavor of the peaches, rosemary syrup brings a little sophistication and an herbal note that meanders through each sip. Bourbon complements the juiciness of the peaches while bringing more depth to the cocktail. The result is a classic-tasting cocktail with a fresh seasonal spin.
Something tells me you might want to stock on peaches next week.

BUT... because my mind's
So, without further ado, I want to share some before pictures of a project I've been working on for a while. My client's name is Ira and she has two beautiful little girls & a husband. They entertain a lot with other families and want their family room (below) to seat more people, be stylish yet comfortable, and feel young and happy (like them!). Here it is when I first visited, 'before':
We've chosen these beautiful glass mosaic tiles for the backsplash and are running them up the entire wall over the sink/ around the windows:

Deathly Hallows Filming Watch: Room of Requirement Still Underway
Aug 17, 2009
DH Film
For the over 100,000 of us that follow actor Tom Felton on his official Twitter page, you might have seen a series of very interesting tweets of late as Tom is hard at work filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This filming is for the perilous Room of Requirement scenes involving his character Draco Malfoy at the end of the story and require a bit of flying and other stunt work from the actors in harnesses and such. Back on August 14 in all cap frustration, Tom wrote: "HARDEST DAY FILMING! followed by "I hate the harness!!! get me in a bath 🙁" Today, filming continued on these intense scenes, and in a series of updates we learned how painful these are: "back at work…harnessed up…still bruised from friday!!!…had lunch…fed
and watered…getting harnessed up…got a gd team of stunt boys
keeping me going & pushing me forward to get some gd takes!…never wanted to finish a days filming as early as when im doing stunts!!! ridiculously tired, hot and bothered!blisters on my
hands 🙁 bruising more and more in each take 🙁 skins sore from the
harness rubbing 🙁 not so glamorous today…exhausted."
Hang in there Tom, we are all rooting for you! You can also see a relatively new photo of the actor on his official page here. Filming continues on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at Leavesden Studios, England.

Debate over Southridge Mall bus stop heats up
There's a new war of words over the change in bus service to Southridge Mall.
Two Milwaukee County supervisors said a plan to push bus stops farther away will have a negative impact on shoppers, particularly the elderly and disabled.
Southridge said the county board members are reporting information that is inaccurate and misleading.
VIDEO: Battle continues over Southridge Mall bus stop
In September, Southridge Mall announced it was moving a bus stop 350 feet away from the mall to the park-and-ride Route 46 bus stop.
Ever since, it's been a war of words between the chairman of the Milwaukee County Transit Committee and the mall mainly because of the impact it will have on the elderly and disabled who use the bus service, particularly with the shopping season approaching as well as winter.
"When that person gets off that bus in a scooter a wheelchair or the visually impaired, how safe is that from 350 or 1,000 feet to get into that building?" Milwaukee County Supervisor Michael Mayo said.
Bus riders like Skip Pemper also don't understand the change.
"I see people in walkers. I see people walking with canes, and they're basically telling them that they're going to have to walk an extra two to four blocks, and they have a difficult time the way it is. I think it stinks with a capitol S," Pemper said.
Tuesday, Southridge Mall said that "Buses will simply operate a short distance from the current stop, helping to ensure better pedestrian safety and vehicular flow."
Southridge also said the "Milwaukee County Transit Plus service for individuals with disabilities will continue to drop off and pick up at the northeast main mall entrance as it always has."
But Don Natzke of the county's Office for Persons with Disabilities said that does not address the problem for disabled people who ride the regular bus.
"Last year almost a hundred thousand people who use wheelchairs, walkers or who have a mobility problem have used the bus," Natzke said.
The Milwaukee County Transit committee will meet with the County Transit System for an update on the plan Wednesday morning.
There is also a protest demonstration scheduled at the mall on Thursday organized by people who are opposed to the bus changes.

The 'Schoolhouse Rock' Parody That Is Equal Parts Painfully Accurate And Funny
I know it's never too early to learn about the government, but most middle school students are already too cynical for their own good.
This website uses cookies in order to enhance your experience. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn how we may use cookies and how you can change your browser settings to disable cookies. By continuing to use this website without changing your settings, you consent to our use of cookies.
Former President George W. Bush and current president Donald Trump may both be Republicans but they have contrasting views when it comes to immigration.
Trump has been one of the most anti-immigrant presidents of recent memory. His Administration separated undocumented families at the border, placed bans on travelers from majority-Muslim countries, and he's proudly proclaimed, "Our country is full."
George W. Bush's legacy on immigration is a bit more nuanced. He ended catch-and-release and called for heightened security at the U.S.-Mexico border, but he also championed an immigration bill that created a guest worker program and a pathway to citizenship for undocumented people.
Unfortunately, that bill did not pass.
It is said that once you've seen something, you can't unsee it. This is exactly what is happening in America right now. We have collectively watched the pot of racial tension boil over after years of looking the other way, insisting that hot water doesn't exist, pretending not to notice the smoke billowing out from every direction.
Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away—it prolongs resolution. There's a whole lot of harm to be remedied and damage to be repaired as a result of racial injustice, and it's up to all of us to figure out how to do that. Parents, in particular, are recognizing the importance of raising anti-racist children; if we are unable to completely eradicate racism, maybe the next generation will.
How can parents ensure that the next generation will actively refuse to perpetuate systems and behaviors embedded in racism? The most obvious answer is to model it. Take for example, professional tennis player Serena Williams and her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
I saw this poster today and I was going to just let it go, but then I kept feeling tugged to say something.
While this poster is great to bring attention to the issue of child trafficking, it is a "shocking" picture of a young girl tied up. It has that dark gritty feeling. I picture her in a basement tied to a dripping pipe.
While that sounds awful, it's important to know that trafficking children in the US is not all of that. I can't say it never is—I don't know. What I do know is most young trafficked children aren't sitting in a basement tied up. They have families, and someone—usually in their family—is trafficking them.
Roland Pollard and his 4-year-old daughter Jayden have been doing cheer and tumbling stunts together since Jayden could walk. When you see videos of their skills, the level of commitment is apparent—as is the supportive relationship this daddy has with his daughter.
Pollard, a former competitive cheerleader and cheer coach, told In The Know that he didn't expect Jayden to catch on to her flying skills at age 3, but she did. He said he never pressures her to perform stunts and that she enjoys it. And as a viral video of Jayden almost falling during a stunt shows, excelling at a skill requires good teaching—something Pollard appears to have mastered.

On Monday, U.S. Soccer announced that Nuñez has been called up the U.S. U-15 National Team for their upcoming games in the Development Academy Winter Showcase set to take place Dec. 11-15. The Anaheim-resident was one of 18 players called in by head coach Hugo Perez that will face the U-15/16 New York Red Bulls (Dec. 12), De Anza Force (Dec. 13) and Weston FC (Dec. 15) at the Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, Fla.
The full roster for the showcase can be found below:
GOALKEEPERS (2): David Abonce (FC Dallas; The Colony, Texas), Carlos Avilez (FC Dallas; Dallas, Texas)
DEFENDERS (4): McKay Eves (San Diego Surf; San Diego, Calif.), Kyle Gruno (Philadelphia Union; Saddle River, N.J.), Antonio Nava (De Anza Force; Redwood City, Calif.), Sam Vines (Colorado Rapids; Colorado Springs, Colo.)
MIDFIELDERS (6): Jose Alfaro (Chicago Magic PSG; West Chicago, Ill.), Jose Carranza (D.C. United; Manassas, Va.), Ernesto Espinoza (Club Tijuana; San Ysidro, Calif.), Roberto Hernandez (Texas Rush; Houston, Texas), Nicholas Taitague (FC Richmond Magic; Midlothian, Va.), Juan Pablo Torres (Georgia United; Lilburn, Ga.)

Previously on this blog we examined the sadsack who wandered into an Oklahoma Walmart to there brew methamphetamine, the place so vast and cavernous that for many hours No One noticed the criminal chemistry experiment.
And also the Mississippi miscreant who attempted to flee a Winn Dixie with live lobsters wriggling around in his pants. As well as the North Carolina gentleman who sought to celebrate his 45th birthday by absconding from a supermarket with shrimp, rib-eye steak, baby back ribs, and smoked turkey stuffed down his drawers.
Now comes a man who has managed to combine these capers.
David Williams of Mounds, Oklahoma was a passenger in a vehicle tooling along through Okmulgee County early Friday morning, when the driver was pulled over for speeding by Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Shiloh Hall.
During the ritual production of papers, Trooper Hall asked Williams why a noxious chemical smell seemed to be emanating from his person. Williams, he entered a lizard-brain panic state, and burst from the vehicle. Then, during a struggle with the trooper, his drawers exploded.
"After a brief struggle it was determined there was an active meth lab in his pants that burst during the struggle and got all over his body," said OHP trooper Shiloh Hall.
Medical personnel checked out Williams and the road was closed so emergency crews could clean up the scene.
Williams was booked into the Okmulgee County jail on a complaint of manufacture of a controlled and dangerous substance.
The driver was not arrested. He told authorities that he was transporting Williams to the latter's semi. Apparently Williams drives the nation's roads behind the wheel of a massive big rig, while cooking narcotics in his pants.
In Oklahoma, people brew meth in the Walmarts, people brew meth in their pants. The state motto is currently Labor Omnia Vincit, or, "Labor Conquers All Things." I believe it is time to change that motto. To something like E Pluribus Dumbfuck, or "Meth Labs R Us."

The summer rainy season usually begins in June and lasts until September or October. There is no optimum time to visit. Winters are cooler and drier with clear skies, but the landscape is barren. If you prefer lush vegetation and don't mind the showers, then the summer rainy season is a good time to go.

Wow these look so good! I have tried this recipe with strawberries but didn't like the result- I should have used juice instead- thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the recipe! We didn't taste much of the passion fruit flavor but the flavor was more balanced than a vanilla cupcake and not too sweet. My boyfriend enjoyed it and he's not much of a cake-lover. I left mine in the oven too long (we just moved to Botswana and I'm still learning how to use our oven) but the caramelization was a nice touch. The texture like sponge cake.

Form S-2(redirected from Form S2)
Form S-2
A form the SEC formerly used to register issues of securities with less value, that is, with a value of $7.5 million or less. This form required less information than other security registration forms, but, after complaints from some start-ups that it was still too complex, the SEC abolished it and replaced it with Form SB-2.
Form S-2
A simplified registration form filed with the SEC by firms that have already reported under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

Republicans delivered a scathing indictment of President Barack Obama's national security policy, although the Democrat's aggressive approach has often been compared to that of his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush.
Defense and foreign policy, largely a footnote during the first two days of the Republican convention, were the core of speeches by Sen. John McCain, Obama's presidential rival in 2008, and Condoleezza Rice, Bush's secretary of state. Neither uttered Obama's name Wednesday night in their prime-time remarks, but the target of their criticism was clear.
"For four years, we've drifted away from our proudest traditions of global leadership," McCain said. "We've let the challenges we face, both at home and abroad, become harder to solve."
RECOMMENDED: Are you more (or less) conservative than Mitt Romney? Take the quiz
He faulted Obama for cuts to projected defense spending, a timetable for withdrawing U.S. forces from Afghanistan and an unwillingness to use more U.S. military force to stop the months of bloodshed in Syria. McCain drew the loudest applause when he criticized the government over suspected national security leaks.
Rice acknowledged the nation's weariness from the two long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that Bush started but said, "If we are not inspired to lead again, one of two things will happen — no one will lead and that will foster chaos — or others who do not share our values will fill the vacuum. ... We do not have a choice. We cannot be reluctant to lead — and one cannot lead from behind."
Republicans have seized on the words "leading from behind" that an unnamed Obama adviser used in a New Yorker article, even though the idea is to empower others while avoiding the perception of unilateral U.S. action.
Rice recalled standing at her desk the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, and learning of the terrorist attacks. She made no mention of Osama bin Laden and Obama's order as commander in chief for the Navy SEALS' operation that killed the terrorist leader.
"Our friends and allies must be able to trust us," she said. "From Israel to Poland to the Philippines to Colombia and across the world — they must know that we are reliable and consistent and determined. ... Our military capability and technological advantage will be safe in Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's hands."
National security has barely warranted a mention at the convention as jobs and the economy remain the dominant issues for the electorate. The short shrift also reflects a political reality of the past four years — Republicans have made little headway in challenging Obama's aggressive security policies.
Obama has waged a secret campaign against Al Qaeda in two countries — one on the Arab Peninsula, the other on Africa's east coast. Navy SEALs took out bin Laden in Pakistan in May 2011 and armed drones have pursued Al Qaeda terrorists within the country, degrading the group.
The U.S. military and allied forces aided rebels who overthrew Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi last year. Prodded by Congress, Obama has imposed tough sanctions on Iran amid recent hints of a cyberwar against Tehran. The president has ended the war in Iraq and taken steps to draw down U.S. forces in Afghanistan after more than a decade of fighting.
Romney insisted Wednesday that Obama has been less than forceful.
"For the past four years, President Obama has allowed our leadership to diminish," the Republican presidential candidate told the American Legion in a speech in Indianapolis. "In dealings with other nations, he has given trust where it is not earned, insult where it is not deserved and apology where it is not due."
Rice was pressed repeatedly during an interview on "CBS This Morning" to provide specific examples of where Obama has failed on foreign policy. She declined to offer any examples.
"It's a question about what a President Romney would do," she said. "There is no doubt that the United States' voice has been muted. When the United States' voice is muted, the world is a more dangerous place."
A group of Democrats countering the Republican line argued that the ticket of Romney and Paul Ryan is the least experienced on national security of any Republican presidential duo in decades.
National security "is a strength of President Obama's," said former Democratic Rep. Tim Roemer, who cited the "litany of achievements and accomplishments of the Obama administration," including the killing of bin Laden, the fall of Gadhafi and aid to Israel for the "Iron Dome" system to intercept shorter-range rockets that might be launched by Palestinian and Hezbollah militants.
"No wonder Republicans don't want to talk about national security when the president has a spotless record," Roemer said.
Republicans are convinced, however, that they can make political inroads with cuts in military spending even though they voted for the reductions last summer.
"The Obama administration is set to cut defense spending by nearly a trillion dollars. My administration will not," said Romney, a former Massachusetts governor.
In fact, some $500 billion in cuts are over 10 years and were part of the deficit-cutting plan that Obama and congressional Republicans backed in August 2011. Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, and McCain voted for the reductions.
If Congress fails to agree on another plan to slash the deficit, an additional $500 billion in cuts would kick in during January 2013.
Republican Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said Wednesday that he'd "like to see the governor beat up on the president" over the looming cuts.

It's the third year in a row. And there's something about Cannes that brings out the best in the Brange. The heat and humidity, the moistness in the air, all of it gets magnified tenfold between them and they take their hot and horny chemistry onto the carpet and the whole world is left quivering.
This is the show they put on last night.
A show in colour. The Jolie loves colour in Cannes. Bright yellow, bright green, last night it was pink. Looks more nude and muted in photos but in person this Versace had some pop. She had some pop. From head to toe. No conservative black. Instead, gauzy, drapy, sexy, and a very naughty slit.
Someone was sending a message: Brad Pitt is not leaving this.
And he didn't.
Even while she waited graciously as he posed for cast photos, dutifully playing the supportive partner, he seemed to look back always to check, then as soon as he was done with his Basterd colleagues, he'd return right away to take her hand. And then all the usual moves: whispers, giggles, giddy smiles at each other… they brought out the A game.
PS. Do you see Angie's fullback underwear line? Hee.
PPS. The dress is not a favourite. Hate the shoes. But it's a departure for her. Let's take it.
Once inside the palais, while completely stopped because of the backlog (everyone else had waited just inside to watch their arrival), she stood in front of him with his arms around her waist, and his chin on her right shoulder, and she was laughing because his stubble was tickling, her hands on top of his hands on top of her belly, as he was overhead saying – we need a drink! So they drank!
After the premiere it was off to the afterparty. Super tight security. Sniffing dogs all day around the venue, his people personally approved every single name on the list, they had the last word above Weinstein, above everyone, they were brought through the underground tunnel, and they stayed long, longer than anyone expected, not leaving until around 2am. Which is late for them. The Brange don't normally linger very long.
But the kids are not here. And it was a free night. And while I don't have children, I'd imagine, if there are 6 of them, you take advantage of the free night. You stretch the free night as far as it'll go. Hell yes.
So they did. Both were chatty and friendly and sociable, never far from each other. Almost always touching – click here to see photos https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1185269/Angelina-Jolie-Brad-Pitt-crush-rumours-rift-award-winning-display-affection.html - or nuzzling or sharing private jokes, and making Harvey Weinstein very happy. Everyone stayed because they stayed. The investors stayed, the money stayed, charmed by the Brange, intoxicated by the Brange, seduced by the Brange…
Pitt Porn is a dealmaker.

Wild Neighbors: Mourning Cloak Mysteries: The Butterfly that Hibernates
We were out at Lafayette Reservoir a couple of weeks ago, looking for the bald eagle that wasn't there. But there was a fair amount of butterfly action: a probable echo blue, some small hyperactive orange jobs, and three or four mourning cloaks, sparring or courting—it's hard to tell with butterflies.
There's no ambiguity about a mourning cloak: it is, as Roger Tory Peterson said of the adult bald eagle, "all field mark," its deep maroon wings bordered with a broad pale band. On close inspection of the reservoir butterflies, you could see that the band had faded from yellow to bone white and that the wings were a bit ragged. These guys weren't fresh out of the chrysalis; they had been around all winter.
Adult hibernation is an uncommon life strategy among butterflies, but the mourning cloak, along with its close relatives the California tortoiseshell and Milbert's tortoiseshell, does just that. Adults that emerge in midsummer or fall spend the cold wet months holed up in some sheltered place. Some have been known to winter under the eaves of houses or in cellars. Arthur Shapiro, UC Davis butterfly maven and co-author of Field Guide to Butterflies of the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento Valley Regions, says that whatever the weather is like, they rarely stir before Jan. 25.
They wake up hungry. Shapiro says local hibernators seek out willow catkins for nectar. In Wisconsin, according to a 1980 study by Allen M. Young, they rely on tree sap to fuel themselves for courtship and egg-laying, frequenting sap wells drilled by the yellow-bellied sapsucker. I don't know how important this food source would be for California populations, although our red-breasted sapsuckers winter in the coast ranges until March or April, overlapping with the overwintering mourning cloaks. And what about mourning cloaks in Europe, where there are no sapsuckers?
British lepidopterists, who have their own nomenclature, know this species as the Camberwell beauty. It was first collected in Cool Arbor Lane near Camberwell (now a densely built-up part of London) in 1748, and has turned up periodically ever since. However, it has never bred in the British Isles. Permanent range includes temperate Eurasia east to Japan, and the mountains of Central and northern South America. Apparently temperature-limited, mourning cloaks avoid the lowland tropics and subtropics.
California has two behaviorally distinct mourning cloak populations. In the coast ranges, they're resident year-round, producing at least two, sometimes three broods. Elsewhere, they're altitudinal migrants like their tortoiseshell relatives. Shapiro, who has been monitoring a series of transect points from Suisun Marsh to Castle Peak in the Sierra for over 30 years, has observed mourning cloaks flying upslope along Interstate 80 in June. Their larvae feed on mountain willows. Some of their progeny hibernate in the mountains as adults; others return to the Valley for the winter.
Tracking migrant butterflies has its technological limitations: you can't rig a radio transmitter on a mourning cloak. But Shapiro wonders whether some of the stable isotope techniques used with migratory birds could be applied to these fragile travelers. The ratio of hydrogen isotopes in a warbler's feathers in winter can indicate how far north it was when it grew those feathers before migrating. A butterfly's tissues should contain a similar latitudinal signal.
Something happened seven years ago to disrupt the mourning cloak's migration cycle: after a breeding failure in the Sierra, the butterflies have remained rare in the mountains and the Sacramento Valley. Shapiro found none at Donner Summit last fall, for the first time in 36 years. "The cause of all this remains a mystery," he says, "compounded by the simultaneous regional decline of all our other willow-feeding species in the Valley," the willow hairstreak, Lorquin's admiral, and sheep moth. There are still plenty of willows, and the admiral and the moth are holding their own elsewhere.
Mourning cloak females lay large batches of eggs, and the caterpillars-spiny black creatures with red spots-stick together.
Sometimes a brood will defoliate its host tree. They also pupate in clusters. A couple of sources say the pupae twitch in unison when disturbed, which is something I would pay to see. (Shapiro's field guide describes mass pupal twitching in the California tortoiseshell.) I'm not clear about what kind of sensory apparatus a pupa has while it's being reorganized from a caterpillar into a butterfly, or how you would alarm one, let alone a whole clutch.
More mysteries.
When an adult mourning cloak emerges from its pupa, it voids-how can we put this delicately?-a drop of blood-red liquid. "In medieval Europe," Shapiro writes, "such 'red rain' was taken as an omen and often stimulated civic disturbances and demonstrations of religious fanaticism." Those were nervous times, with all the wars and plagues and crusades and massacres, and it's understandable that people would get all wrought up about butterfly poop. Good thing we're not that credulous anymore.

The most obvious reason for our use of capital letters is because we do. An obvious sounding answer, but punctuation is all about convention. That said, however, they do serve a purpose. As with all parts of punctuation, capitalisation helps the reader. I'd like to give you an example. Look at the two sentences below. The man, who was Zahzziring Zamzzanly, laughed loudly. The man, who was zahzziring zamzzanly, laughed loudly. Do you understand the meaning of Zahzziring Zamzzanly? Do you understand the meaning of zahzziring zamzzanly? Why? Capitalisation tells the reader that Zahzziring Zamzzanly must be the man's name while it's abscence in zahzziring zamzzanly precludes the possibility that it might be the man's name. (Obviously, these words are made up.) As you can see capitalisation allows the reader to better understand the text, you could recognise the name even though you'd never seen it before. The fact that proper nouns (eg. names of places and people) are capitalised is also important for scanning. "By scanning we mean glancing rapidly through a text either to search for a specific piece of information (eg. a name, or a date) or to get an initial impression of whether the text is suitable for a given purpose (eg. whether a book on gardening deals with a particular plant disease)." (C. Nuttal: Teaching Reading Skills in a foreign language; pg.49) The very fact that, with the exception of the first word of the sentence, capitalisation is only used for proper nouns makes it much easier to identify names, for example, of places and people; therefore they can be found faster thus creating a more efficient reader. By this I mean one who can quickly extract the information they need from a long text; one who does not read in detail a lot of unnecessary information. The other reason is that they help illustrate the beginning of a sentence. Obviously, full stops do this, but the reinforcement helps. I hope this helps. You could try going to the forums section of Dave's and posting it in the appropriate one there. You'd probably get a better explaination than the one I've supplied. As for being a "slackers/layabouts/ne'erdowells" because you don't know the answer to a question, you seem to being very hard on yourself, and as for me being a "real" teacher, I'm not exactly sure how one of those would be defined. Best wishes, Stephen PS. Most Chinese teachers will have learnt to translate English rather than to read it. This means that they do not possess much in the way of reading skills. By this I mean things like word attack skills (using the context, the vocabulary and the grammar) to help them work out the meaning of a word; they also have probably not been taught skills like scanning. Therefore, it is not suprising that they would be mute on the the question you asked. The Chinese do not learn to read (at school at least), so they haven't been taught to use things such as capital letters to make them better readers.

HOUSTON � A shooting on a Texas community college campus wounded three people Tuesday and sent students fleeing for safety as officials placed the campus on lockdown, officials said.
HOUSTON � A shooting on a Texas community college campus wounded three people Tuesday and sent students fleeing for safety as officials placed the campus on lockdown, officials said.
Harris County Sheriff�s Maj. Armando Tello said authorities had detained a person of interest.
Authorities also thought there could be a second shooter, according to a law enforcement official in Washington who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the ongoing case.
The school�s official Twitter feed said the shooting was between two people and that the situation was under control. It had issued an alert on its website earlier, telling students and faculty to take immediate shelter or avoid the campus.
Aerial footage from local television stations showed police cars and ambulances parked on the Lone Star College System campus about 20 miles north of downtown Houston. Emergency personnel could be seen tending to people on stretchers, while others ran from a building led by officers.
Melinda Muse, spokeswoman for the Harris County Health System, said two people were taken to Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital Emergency Center following the shooting.
Tello said three people were injured.
Cody Harris, 20, he said he was in a classroom with about six or seven other students waiting for a psychology class to start when he heard eight shots. He and other students looked at each other, said �I guess we should get out of here,� and fled.
�I was just worried about getting out,� Harris said. �I called my grandmother and asked her to pick me up.�
The Lone Star College System has an enrollment of 90,000 students and six college campuses, according to its website.
Along with the college, four nearby schools in the Aldine Independent School District went into lockdown, a district spokesman said.
Lone Star student Daniel Flores, 19, said he was in a tutoring lab on the second floor doing homework when he heard six to seven shots.
�I didn�t think they were shots,� he said. �It sounded like someone was kicking a door.�
About 60 people were in the lab, and they began running out of the room once they realized the sound was gunfire, he said. They fled to a nearby student services center, where authorities kept them there for about 30 minutes before letting them go.
