'Buy French'
Issued on: Modified:
MEDIAWATCH FRANCE, Tue. 13/12/11: "Buy French" is the slogan of the moment for presidential candidates looking to boost industry. Centrist François Bayrou follows the pack, but forgets to check where his car was made. Meanwhile, far-right leader Marine Le Pen attacks a documentary on her National Front party without even having seen it.

This is a tracking PR used to indicate what bugs
we are looking at for 4.0.
There is no guarantee that all dependencies of this will
in fact be fixed.
If you add a bug to the list, please provide a justification.
PR 16927 is a regression
PR 15575 is a regression.
This worked at some point in the past.
Also, there is a patch pending.
PR 15475 is a longstanding regression.
PR 15710: not being able to build ant is a major problem.
PR 15888: building jacorb is "very nice to have"; also resembles PR 17329
PR 17329: not building rhug is a regression
PR 17007: someone should look at this patch
PR 7305: A ".0" release is a good time to think about rearranging the install tree
PR 13720: someone should look at this patch
PR 13948: similar to some other regressions
PR 17586: kawa must build
PR 17587: mauve must build
PR 15223: similar to other ICE PRs; at least investigate
PR 15576: regression (but perhaps intentional)
PR 15656: I still can't reproduce, probably easy
PR 17265: regression
PR 17311: review the patches
PR 17380: regression
PR 16789: alias for PR 15475
Investigate this jar failure
PR 15578: probably trivial, at least the "=" part.
PR 17222: libgcj doesn't build on several targets due to command line length issues.
FYI, I checked in a fix for the jar failure.
PR 17500: now prevents rhug from building
PR 14664: regression; nothing works on alpha
PR 13468: stack trace regression (one patch is on BC branch already)
Removing PR 14664 because its fixed on the 4.0 trunk.
18266: low-level bug in Reference code; this is used by
many real applications
Only one regression left here: PR 18399.
Added more regression PRs
Ada and Java bugs are not release-critical; therefore, I've removed the target
There seems little point in leaving this open now that 4.0 has shipped.
Any required patches should be mentioned in bug #24018

The fable of the physical world becomes the fact of the political; and after alternate sunshine and storm, after heavings of the earth which only deepened its roots, and ineffectual blasts of lightning whose lurid threat died in the air, under a sky now raining on it benignant influence, the century-plant of American Independence and popular Government bursts into this magnificent blossom, of a joyful celebration illuminating the land! --Oration by Rev. Richard S. Storrs, here from The Centennial Celebration of American Independence.Like The Blossoming of the Aloe, the 1876 poems transcribed below all feature The Century Plant or American Aloe (Agave, actually) as a figure of America and American independence. The conceit is developed straightforwardly in the first two, satirically in the third.
- The Century Plant by John Cruikshank
- The Century Plant by Mrs. Frances L. Mace
- A Centennial Counterblast by Frank Cowan, attributed to "a wretched western poet, in the city of brotherly love."
|Washington, D. C. Capital - May 28, 1876
For The Capital
THE CENTURY PLANT.O, sad is the life of the Century Plant!
It blooms but once in a hundred years.
'Though long and wearily we wait,
Still but for a night its flower appears;
Yes, wearily wait for a hundred years,
And but for a night the flower appears.
"O long expectance; short-lived joy,"
This was our sires' despairing cry.
As through the ages the flower they watched,
They saw it bloom and they saw it die;
They watched the flower as the years went by;
They saw it bloom and they saw it die.
But we have taken the Century Plant
And fixed it firmly in chosen ground,
We have brought the food it loves the best,
The secret of its life have found;
As it firmly stands on chosen ground,
The mystery of its life is found.
We have called the four great winds to blow
And breathe on the plant with tempered air,
And round it rich commingled soils
We've placed with labor and with care:
As it grows in the free and tempered air,
Rich mingled soils its glory share.
The time approaches--nay 'tis now,
In which the flowers should appear,
And thirteen buds are opening wide
Our hopes to fill, our hearts to cheer;
Watch, brothers, watch, the time draws near,
In which the century flowers appear.
We have watched all night, and soon will come
The crisis of the century flower,
And very soon we will know its fate,
And whether this is its dying hour;
Pray, brothers, pray, for the century flower,
May it escape its dying hour!
O, long expected glorious day,
The hour of death is safely past:
Away forever with transient bloom,
The century flower lives at last;
Shout, brothers, shout, for the hour is past,
The century flower lives at last.
'Twas living then, and is living still,
And now has bloomed for a hundred years,
And at times from the fruitful parent stem
A flowret new its head uprears;
Yes, once in a while, in a hundred years,
A bright new flower its head uprears.
And ever will live our century plant,
So wondrous is its rich new birth;
It still will breathe the tempered air
And firmly stand on the mingled earth;
And this is the secret of its birth,
The free, pure air and the mingled earth.

The Centennial.
[From New York Journal of Commerce.]
Most of the Centennial poetry that we have seen has been beneath criticism: but the following from a fair contributor to our paper is full of exquisite beauty:
I.In days of old,
In solitude and silence grew the hour
When God and Nature first beheld unfold
The solitary flower.
Purple as night
Its petals opened in the forest gloom,
And the winds, pausing in the seaward flight,
Inhaled the strange perfume.
The hoary oak
Felt in its branches a responsive thrill,
The eagle from his lonely eyrie spoke,
And all again was still.
Unwritten ages rolled
Into the past, and as each century's bell
Struck the full hour, the blossom would unfold,
With none its tale to tell.
At last the silence ceased.
The desert wilderness a voice had found.
Strange wanderers from the overflowing East,
Sought here a hunting-ground.
The shadow-haunted glades
Echoed the savage song--the warrior cry--
And wild, barbaric worship filled the shades
With awful mystery.
Life warm and new
Through the dull fibres of the tree was shed;
The swelling buds revealed a living hue--
Tinge of the morning red.
Not unblest
The thousand years of silence and of night;
Unto the hidden gardens of the west,
God said, "Let there be light!"
And behold
It blooms again, the latest flower of Time!
In the dark ages who could have foretold
The glory of its prime!
Palmiest days
Of Grecian grandeur or of Roman pride
Saw not their century bloom in such a blaze
Of fame, full-orbed, world-wide.
Heaven, bend low!
From the last lingering gloom our land release!
Let the perfection of the ages blow
White as the plume of Peace!
--Mrs. Frances L. Mace.

Forgetting that is ripening were its fall,—
Lincoln, our Aloe-Flower!

Yes it's possible and there have actually been new studies that have come out that have proved that a vaginal birth after multiple c-sections is safer than a repeat c-section. http://medicalcenter.osu.edu/patientcare/healthcar... Here is an article highlighting that research.
Here is another article about why labor is good for babies: http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/laborbirth/a/aa04230...
Here is a support group for women with c-sections (1 or more) and there are also many women who have had vaginal births (after 1, 2, 3 c-sections). http://www.ican-online.org/forum/index.php
I have many more resources and stories and articles if you'd like to email me for more. Good luck.

It is totally possible. I know a great many women who have had successful VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Csec). I am from Canada, where the malpractice rate is not nearly as high, and people have VBACs all the time. I had a Csec with my son, and my OBGYN said I should have absolutely no problem with my next birth having a VBAC.
The first thing you need to do is find a doctor who supports your decision to try a VBAC. This may be difficult, because many doctors are afraid of malpractice. Still, remember you are the consumer and you can interview as many doctors as you need to until you find what you want.
Another option you might research is midwives. Depending on the state you are in, midwives can do many different types of birth - home, birth center, hospital. Most midwives will support you in your decision to have a VBAC and help you do that.
In any case, I would definitely hire a doula. Doulas are birth assistants that attend your birth as your support. They are trained to assist you throughout the birth process. They can be there to advocate for your wishes when you are 'busy' birthing.
Good luck in your search. You can do it!

I believe the woman with 17 children had her last child vaginally after 2 c sections..she had to search for a doc that would at least let her try. I wonder how she will deliver her 18th child, due in January.
- ohmeohmyLv 51 decade ago
it is possible... it is called a vbac [vaginal birth after cesearean]
however, you have to find a dr that is willing to deliver you vaginally considering the health riskes posed....
after a csection you have a scar on your uterus and it is possible during labor for the uterus to rupture at the scarred area [although it is rare].... this isn't a definite scenario but it is one you should consider...
however, first you must find a dr willing to allow you to do a VBAC
this is an good info site

Yes, it's very possible (if there isn't some preexisting condition which prevents you from delivering vaginally.) It's known as a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean.)
- angel eLv 61 decade ago
Yes.U can give birth to ur child vaginally if the doctor at the time permits and gives the ok.Good Luck.CONGRATS
- Anonymous1 decade ago
To my knowledge, it is law that once a c-section, always a c-section. If you truly want a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section), you should try to find a certified midwife in your area and give her your medical records so that she can determine if your body can do it. You likely will not be able to do that in a hospital, either, though there are exceptions.
- VictoryLv 61 decade ago
I agree with E.E. it is entirely possible unless there are preexisting conditions.Like in my case I can only give birth by c-section because my body won't dilate.Talk to your OB about it.
- 1 decade ago
I know a girl who had her 2nd at home ofter a c-section.
It was fine but im not too sure about after 2 c's.
Talk to your doctor and maybe a midwife.
Good luck!!!

Yes, having a VBAC is possible! Speak to your doctor or OB about it.Source(s): http://guideonpregnancy.blogspot.com/ Great site for us pregnant women, those TTC, and those who are just curious!

The beef forum is failing farmers - Martin Kenny TD
Sinn Féin's Agriculture spokesman Martin Kenny TD, challenged Minister Michael Creed TD in the Dáil today on the low prices that farmers, specifically beef farmers, receive for their produce.
Deputy Kenny was asking about the new BEEPS scheme for suckler farmers which will mean that farmers must weigh their animals to qualify for payment.
The Sligo-Leitrum TD said:
"Perhaps the Minister will give more detail on how farmers will manage that. It is a problem for farmers in many areas.
"The bigger issue for the suckler and beef sector is the price the farmer gets. That must be dealt with.
"Currently prices are very low for beef when it goes to the factory and that has a knock-on effect all the way back down to the weanling in the market.
"The Minister spoke about producer organisations being one of the answers to this issue, and perhaps they are.
"However, in the past, most emphasis was placed on reducing the cost to the farmer of producing the product.
"That emphasis needs to switch towards improving the price for the farmer. I strongly believe we need to get that right.
"The beef forum in that context has failed Irish farmers in securing an enhanced price.
"While I understand marketing is under way and we are talking about getting into new markets in Kuwait and other countries around the world, farmers are not seeing an increased value for their product when they go to the mart to sell their weanlings in Leitrim or Cavan or when they fatten their animals and bring them to marts in the other end of the country.
"We need to see that happen."
Deputy Kenny added:
"The Minister says that neither he, or the Beef Forum, has a role in price setting, but the exchequer is paying for him and Bord Bía to market Irish beef worldwide, while the farmer struggles and the processors and retailers get the profit.
"That has to change and the minister would want to look to ensuring that the farmer gets a fair price for an excellent product."

All That Glows
Author: Ryan Graudin
Release Date: February 11th 2014
Emrys—a fiery, red-headed Fae—always embraced her life in the Highlands, far from the city's draining technology, until she's sent to London to rejoin the Faery Guard. But this isn't any normal assignment—she's sent to guard Prince Richard: Britain's notorious, partying bad boy and soon-to-be King. The prince's careless ways and royal blood make him the irresistible for the dark spirits that feed on mortals. Sweet, dishevelled, and alive with adventure—Richard is one charge who will put Emrys's magic and heart to the test. (read the rest from Goodreads)
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5
My ThoughtsI received an ARC of this book and read it in December. But now since All That Glows book birthday is tomorrow I can post all my feelings about this book! In order to give the best detailed review I'm going to split my review into what I liked and what I didn't like.
What I Liked
I really liked the uniqueness of the premise- I've read a lot of books but I have yet to find any other book that has modern day fairies AND royalty. In most fairy tales and stories about the fey they are allergic to iron and I really liked how the fey were 'allergic' in a sense to the modern world (electronics and technological things specifically). All That Glows combined two of many favourite things (fairys and royalty) which is a big plus for me. The writing was very rich and lyrical in a sense and helped the story to flow along easily and I became very invested in Emry and Richard (even though he was a bum in the beginning) Overall I loved this book, the characters and the story-line! Plus there were some plot twists that totally caught me by surprise- as a seasoned reader its rare for me to be surprised multiple times in one book! (Also Ryan has said that she imagines Herne the Hunter to look and sound like Benedict Cumberbatch WHICH I THINK IS PERFECT!)
What I Didn't Like
There were really only two things that I didn't enjoy about this book. The first is that at times I thought it could have been longer and more fleshed out in one or two spots. Also there were several times where Emry's threw up and that kind of grosses me out and made me want to throw up which wasn't enjoyable (at all) But that's it!
In conclusion: let me say- this book took me on a roller coaster of emotions. When I finished it I was wishing for more because IT WAS JUST THAT GOOD. So everyone go out to the bookstore tomorrow (February 11th) to pick up this gem!
On a side note Ryan also has a book called The Walled City out in the fall that I am super excited for too!

Last Sunday I participated in a Brunswick County bird count all day. It was raining off and on all day but I still managed to find about 80 species. I started at Lee Buck Rd but the rain made photography very difficult. After moving over to EV Henwood, the rain let up a bit and I was able to take some photos.
White-eyed Vireo
Female Ebony Jewelwing
Male Ebony Jewelwing
Around lunch time I started heading back but went the slow way back over Governor's Rd. The road was pretty muddy, but I found one of my best birds hunting over a field.
Swallow-tailed Kite
Due to the rain, there must have been a lack of insects, so they resorted to kiting low over trees and snatching what appears to be Carolina Anoles.
The rain was matting their feathers giving them a Lord of the Rings Wraith type look.
When it stopped raining for good, hundreds of swallows took over one of the farm fields.
Cattle Egret
What a better way to end a long count day than going to the beach and having high tide coincide with it? Better yet, no one was on the beach because of the foul weather. So I headed to Fort Fisher and tried to focus on the Brunswick County side of the spit. That is basically everything south of the first crossover.
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Thousands of shorebirds hanging out.
Snowy Egret
Gull-billed Tern - this one was unfortunately on the New Hanover side, or fortunately for my county list.
The Dowitchers are getting really snazzy but I still have trouble finding any Long-billed.
Some Sanderling are also getting colorful.
Then right as I was driving the last stretch on the New Hanover side, my best bird of the day!
American Golden Plover!
The bill and cap field marks stood out nicely.
The nice golden rump in flight and lack of black axillaries sealed the deal.
This past work week I had a business trip to Raleigh and only had one afternoon to get a couple hours of birding in so I headed to Mid Pines.
Horned Lark - a presumed breeder.
5 Blue Grosbeaks in one shot. That seemed unusual to me.
Solitary Sandpiper over at Inwood Rd.
When I first saw this peep standing with the Solitary I was convinced I had a Baird's SP. I know they rarely are seen in the spring if at all, but the logical side of my brain did not seem to be communicating effectively with the other.
Now that I look at the pictures on the comfort of my couch, I see the legs look yellowish.
Beware, peeps by themselves with no other peeps for comparison can be tricky.
Spotted Sandpiper
Lesser Yellowlegs.
Finally, an early Friday trip across Lodge Rd at Holly Shelter produced some year birds. I wanted to make the drive before they closed the roads with the end of Turkey Season.
Bachman's Sparrows were abundant and signing like mad.
Red-bellied Watersnake
Corn Snake I think. I need to get my snakes down.
Orchard Oriole
Least Bittern - its a shame that I could not get closer and the weather was overcast. This breeding plumage bird was much more snazzy than the ones I photographed last year at Cedar Island.
Prairie Warbler
What better way to end the week than with a beautiful Prothonotary Warbler. A real crowd pleaser. Even their butts are pretty.
I am starting to get the pelagic itch. I might have to head to the OBX soon.

Arsenal star to turn on Harpenden Christmas lights
PUBLISHED: 06:15 22 November 2014
Arsenal and England footballer Jack Wilshere will join the Town Mayor and a young competition winner at the turning on of the Harpenden Christmas lights this weekend.
Sunday's festivities will find the midfielder, who lives in the town, on stage with Mayor Cllr Mary Maynard and cast members from this year's pantomime at Harpenden Public Halls.
Eight-year-old Katharine Pike, who won the Christmas poster competition, will pull the official lever at 5pm.
Jack is expected to play in the Arsenal game against Manchester United on Saturday - but he has agreed to step up against the winner of a Harpenden Colts 'beat the keeper' event the following day.
The Colts are charging £1 to 'beat the keeper' and everyone who takes part will be entered into a draw with the chance of saving a penalty from Jack. Proceeds will go to the Mayor's charity.
Cllr Maynard commented: "Jack Wilshere has been fantastic to give his time. He's such a nice guy. You can buy tickets to try to win the chance to stop him scoring. It's supposed to be for kids but quite a few adults are going to try too."
She said that Harpenden was the place to be at the weekend and Sunday's Christmas carnival was the big event of the year.
"All the shops will be open and more than 100 stalls will be selling everything you need for Christmas.
"The stage will have a wide array of musical talent and the procession is back with old favourites - and some surprising new talent. It's a party town on that day!
Nick Jr's Steve Leeds (from Go!Go!Go!) is going to host a 10-minute sing-along on the stage in Church Green before the big switch on. He is due to play the Prince in Snow White at Harpenden Public Halls, next month.
The Celebration Cruises Christmas Carnival Procession, led by Father Christmas, will features majorettes, a brass band and local brownies and cadets making their way down the High Street.

COLORADO RAPIDS vs PORTLAND TIMBERS
DICK'S SPORTING GOODS PARK, Commerce City, Colo.
Sept. 13, 2014 (WEEK 27, MLS Game #262)
6 p.m. PT (KPDX/Estrella)
Two teams chasing what could be the final playoff position in the Western Conference meet in a crucial contest when the Colorado Rapids take on the Portland Timbers on Saturday evening at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids are looking to put an end to their club-record losing slide, extended to seven games in a 6-0 loss at the LA Galaxy last weekend. The Timbers now find themselves just two points outside the final playoff position in the division, following their 3-3 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes at Providence Park last weekend.
The Portland Timbers performed another comeback to snatch a point, getting a late equalizer for a 3-3 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening at Providence Park. The Timbers are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 35 points from 27 games.
The opening goal came in the 21st minute. Timbers' keeper Donovan Ricketts saved the first shot from Shea Salinas, but he collected the rebound and fired off another shot that banged off the goalpost straight to Chris Wondolowski for a tap-in.
San Jose was opportunistic again in the 48th minute. Cordell Cato crossed to Wondolowski in the box. Timbers center back Pa Modou Kah's clearance attempt fell right back to Cato, and he slammed home from the right side of the box.
The Timbers pulled a goal back in the 54th minute when Diego Valeri chipped a perfect ball down the right to Alvas Powell, who brushed off two defenders and popped a shot into the upper far corner. The game was then tied 75th minute thanks to another brilliant feed by Valeri. He sent a cross across the goalmouth that Alhassan was unable to reach, but was ball was bundled across the line by Liam Ridgewell at the back post.
But the Quakes regained the lead in the 85th minute when Salinas floated a long cross from the left to Wondolowski, who easily nodded home a clear header.
Yet a minute later, the Timbers had one more answer. Powell collected the ball to the right of the San Jose goal and played it back to Kalif Alhassan, and he stabbed home game-tying goal from the edge of the six-yard box.
Timbers head coach Caleb Porter made one change to the team that rolled to a 3-0 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place. Gaston Fernandez came into the team with Rodney Wallace on international duty.
- PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts - Alvas Powell, Liam Ridgewell, Pa Modou Kah, Jorge Villafana - Will Johnson - Diego Chara, Gaston Fernandez (Kalif Alhassan 61) - Darlington Nagbe, Fanendo Adi (Maximiliano Urruti 71), Diego Valeri.
The Timbers took a total of 32 attempts at goal – the third-highest total in MLS history – in coming back for the draw with San Jose. It was the 13th time this season the Timbers have gained at least one point after allowing the opening goal (4-6-9).
"The positive is we came back from down two goals, came back from the death at 3-2. We are a mentally strong team to be able to do that. There are not many teams in the league that would be able to come back, to pull that out," said Timbers head coach Caleb Porter. "Those are positives. We are still in the fifth spot, playoff position. Those things can't get lost in the shuffle of the craziness of the way this game played out and ultimately the disappointment in the fact that we got a draw instead of a win."
The Timbers were also the first team to come back from two separate deficits of at least two goals this season to grab a result, also doing it in the 2-2 draw with FC Dallas on June 11.
"The negative is that in getting 32 shots we probably could have scored 10 goals, realistically. I'm not joking. We scored three goals and it's kind of ironic that we're saying we didn't do well enough in the finishing," said Porter. "For me the first 20 minutes we've got to find a goal. It was our best first 20 minutes of the year. Completely dominant, seven or eight clear chances. We were absolutely on top of them. We had complete grip on the game, and the first time they get a chance it's a goal. A lot of positives, more than negatives, but we've got to do a bit better with our chances."
Said Will Johnson: "We haven't had problems scoring goals all year. It's just that we sit here and feel that we've scored some good goals and gave up some bad ones."
Alvas Powell scored his second MLS goal – both coming in the past two weeks – to give the Timbers early hope.
Diego Valeri contributed assists on all three Timbers goals, the seventh multiple-assist game of his MLS career and his second three-assist contest this year (also: June 1 vs. Vancouver). Valeri is now in a tie for second place in the league with 12 assists, after leading MLS with 13 assists a year ago.
"In professional soccer it's hard to create chances. It's maybe that hardest thing to do. So we could do that [today]," said Valeri. "We missed a lot of chances, but we scored three goals. It's a strange feeling."
Liam Ridgewell scored his second career MLS goal, both coming over the past four weeks. He has been ever-present in central defense over the last eight games.
"Obviously the three goals [conceded] are disappointing. It's something we've got to work on going forward. Just one of those days," Ridgewell said. "I think we had so many chances. We've got to be a little bit livelier and a little bit sharper when they're looking to score. Just got to work on it."
- Kalif Alhassan scored his first league goal of the season, his first goal since last Oct. 13 when he netted against Seattle.
The Colorado Rapids had their losing skid stretched to seven games, going to a 6-0 defeat by the LA Galaxy last Friday evening at StubHub Center. The Rapids are in seventh place in the Western Conference with 30 points from 27 games.
The game changed dramatically just 33 seconds into the game. Rapids goalkeeper Joe Nasco couldn't take the ball off Alan Gordon's feet on a low cross from the left, and he grabbed Gordon's ankles, taking him down as he tried to shoot. Marc Burch cleared the ball off the line, but referee Baldomero Toledo whistled for a penalty kick and showed Nasco the red card – the fastest expulsion in MLS history.
Clint Irwin came on between the posts, and Landon Donovan chipped the resulting penalty kick easily up the middle to give LA a fifth-minute lead.
The score was 2-0 in the 30th minute. Marcelo Sarvas took a pass from Donovan well above the Rapids box, then played it forward for Gordon, who with the outside of his right foot sent it behind him and into the box where Baggio Husidic collected it and curled a shot past Irwin and inside the right post.
Gyasi Zardes made it 3-0 in first half stoppage time when he finished after Donovan redirected a Husidic pass into his path in Colorado's box, and Donovan made it 4-0 two minutes into the second half, converting a second penalty of the contest after Chris Klute fouled Zardes in the box.
Zardes nodded home an Stefan Ishizaki cross to make the score 5-0 in the 75th minute. Husidic completed the rout by finishing off another well-worked team goal and slotting home in the 86th minute.
Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni made one change to the team that fell 1-0 to Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field. Jose Mari came into the midfield in place of Marlon Hairston.
- COLORADO RAPIDS (4-4-1-1): Joe Nasco (ejected 1) - Christopher Klute, Thomas Piermayr, Marvell Wynne, Marc Burch - Deshorn Brown, Jose Mari, Nick LaBrocca (Marlon Hairston 52), Dillon Serna - Dillon Powers (Vicente Sanchez 53) - Edson Buddle.
The Rapids lost for a seventh consecutive match – the longest losing streak in the club's 19-year history – in the defeat at the LA Galaxy. The previous record was six games, set in 1997 and 2012.
It was the fifth time in the team's history they've conceded six goals or more in a game, the first since 2004 – the third time the Galaxy have scored six-plus vs. Colorado. The club record is seven goals allowed in a 7-4 LA win in 1998.
"There was a decision made early that definitely flipped [the game] on its head," Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni said. "I think it changed the whole landscape; the whole week, everything of the planning goes down the tubes and it's about survival at that point. You're down a goal; you're down a man 30 seconds into a game and now you're just trying to stay in it, stay organized."
Joe Nasco was sent off in the first minute of the match, the earliest red card from the start of a match in MLS history. In 2009, New York Red Bulls defender Carlos Johnson was ejected in the second minute of a 1-0 loss to the Kansas City Wizards for the previous record.
"What I've learned [is] it's not what happens to you but how you react to it, and I think there is a lot of learning to be done as to how we now deal with playing a man down, regardless of who we're playing against, where we're playing," Mastroeni said. "That's going to be the part that I really contemplate and revisit and prepare the group for the next situation where we're a man down."
The six-goal margin of defeat was the largest in Colorado club history, tied for the second-highest in MLS history and the worst loss suffered by any MLS team in five years.
"It's a learning experience. It's one game at the end of the day; it's not the end of the world," said forward Edson Buddle. "First-year players, second-year players are a little bit harder on themselves right now, but I'm here to let them know that it's not the end of the road, it's only one game. We have tomorrow and next week to get better."
The Rapids conceded multiple goals for the fifth time in their seven-game losing slide. They have allowed 22 goals in the seven games, dating back to July 30.
The Rapids were also shut out at the attacking end for a second consecutive match, now 240 minutes since scoring their last goal. They were also shut out in back-to-back games July 30-Aug. 2 in losses to New England and Real Salt Lake.
José Mari returned to the lineup after a one-match absence, coming into the center of midfield. Dillon Serna was making his second consecutive start after missing a match, but he was sacrificed in the early minutes in favor of goalkeeper Clint Irwin after the Nasco sending-off.
- "For a really young group there are a lot of guys that are seeking answers," Mastroeni said. "The secret about life is that the answer comes from within; there is no guru that will give you the answer. There is a lot of reflection, self-analyzing and then someone in that group stepping up and putting the team on their back. That's the only way you ever come to terms with situations like this. There is no secret. There is no guy you can bring in that's going to change the landscape of everything."

- The Rapids took the lead in the 16th minute. From a corner kick, a Drew Moor header was first saved by Portland goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. A rebound was driven right back into the hands of the 'keeper, but not secured and eventually bundled over the line by Deshorn Brown despite a last-ditch clearance attempt.
- The Timbers pulled level in the 72nd minute through substitute Maximiliano Urruri. Capping off a beautiful team move, Jack Jewsbury was played in down the right by Will Johnson and sent in a cross for a charging Urruti to chip in at the near post.
- Then, five minutes later, Diego Chara set up Diego Valeri in space from approximately 30 yards out for a fading blast that a diving Clint Irwin in the Colorado goal had no chance at saving.
- PORTLAND TIMBERS (4-1-2-3): Donovan Ricketts - Michael Harrington, Danny O'Rourke, Liam Ridgewell, Jack Jewsbury - Will Johnson - Diego Valeri, Diego Chara - Darlington Nagbe (Rodney Wallace 92+), Fanendo Adi (Maximiliano Urruti 61), Steve Zakuani (Gaston Fernandez 61).

It's amazing to see many of the major retailers simply stand by and watch their business atrophy. On the other hand, there are a few that work hard to get out in front of the key trends/changes impacting retailers. Best Buy is an amazing example of doing exactly that. While facing bankruptcy in early 2013, with its stock price down to $11.80, it watched its competitors such as CompUSA, Circuit City and Radio Shack fall by the wayside.
Instead of simply standing still and getting run over, Best Buy launched a completely new business model. Stores became not only retail outlets, but also inventory warehouses used to fill online orders from a new, robust Best Buy website. Since orders were being filled from the nearest store to the buyer, one or two day shipping was achieved. Best Buy also brought accountability to the store-level by measuring the performance of individual salespeople on the floor and before long, it was on the road to success. The stock price today is in the $58/share range, almost 5X that of early 2013.
Organizations don't survive if they can't quickly implement change to adapt to new situations. Recent academic research isolated the key reasons why change initiatives tend to get bogged down and don't succeed. Here are the three biggest barriers and how to deal with them:
1.) Overcome Caution with Clear Accountability – Middle level managers, typically charged with carrying out change, tend to be excessively cautious. They protect their current areas of responsibility, and put a lower priority on any extra effort required of them. To counteract this, the leader must clearly describe the deliverables required and name an individual for each deliverable who will be held accountable its success or failure. Those individuals need to know their performance will impact their performance appraisals, salary, and promotion potential.
2.) Recalcitrant Personnel Must be Dealt With – If a leader leaves in place a manager who is responsible for a key part of the change, but is constantly argumentative and reluctant to make a strong commitment to what is expected of him or her, it is disastrous to leave that person in place. Naturally, the leader needs to listen to any and all issues that people raise, but once proper modifications have been made to reflect this input, it is imperative to have committed individuals executing the plan.
3.) Overcome "Initiative Gridlock" With Clear Focus – Leaders need to be aware that they can easily overload the organization. "Initiative gridlock," where so many projects are active that resources get spread too thin, is the result when the leader lacks the insight and courage to discontinue, or never start, efforts that are not of the highest priority. Often a leader is reluctant to terminate an effort, or reject a proposed initiative, for fear that he or she is making a mistake or missing an opportunity.
The above is not rocket science. These are things that all of us know, but experience show they are hard to implement. Strong leaders understand that.

Nikki lost another tooth two days ago. I woke up that morning with Nikki telling me, "Look Mommy! I have another loose tooth!" And sure enough, the tiny tooth was right there on his palm. Don't you just love it? No drama at all. Just pop! and there's the tooth. No tears, no worries. I checked Nikki's mouth and the permanent tooth was peeking out of the gum already so I suppose it's only going to be a matter of days before the second central incisor in the bottom come out fully. Anyway, I kept the tooth and once we get back to Manila, that little incisor will join the other tooth in Nikki's milk tooth box. 🙂

12 Days of Coffee: Huckleberry Roasters - Sister Winter
There's no doubt about it, the holidays can be a stressful time. Get anybody in a room together who have their own differing perspectives and opinions and the possibility of a Christmas themed cage match increase exponentially. Don't let the coffee you serve divide your family! Our friends from Huckleberry Roaster in Denver, CO have taken it upon themselves to craft the perfect uniting holiday blend - Sister Winter. Drop the sibling rivalries and embrace the love over a cup of tasty brew!
We're excited to spend twelve days of the month highlighting delicious coffees coming from roasters near and far. All of which are available in the holiday blends section of our website! Reach for a mug and pour yourself a little holiday cheer with your coffee!
Huckleberry Roasters:
Sister Winter
A little background on the blend from the Huckleberry team...
Our annual Sister Winter Holiday Blend gets released as the temperatures begin to drop, the sun fades away earlier and the desire to hunker down with family & friends takes over our souls. Since we hope Sister Winter is shared and enjoyed by the whole family, we roast & blend it intentionally to be a crowd pleaser -- something that a grumpy uncle recovering from too much mulled wine the previous and your 22 year cousin with a brand new barista job can bond over, and enjoy together. Sister Winter is a blend of two of our favorite coffees from Guatemala (Dona Lucinda from Lake Atitlan) and Ethiopia (a natural processed coffee from Guji, Sidama). It tastes of sweet chocolate, a little sweet & spice and an underlying layer of fruitcake - but the kind of fruitcake that you actually want to eat.
"Holiday Light"-ning Q+A Round answered by their crew...
What is your favorite holiday treat? I'm a Dutch kid (Hup, Holland, Hup!), so I'm partial to these amazing winter/holiday treats called Oliebollen, which are sort of like Dutch donuts, but translates to "fried balls of dough with powdered sugar". I'll allow you to wipe of the drool now.
What are your thoughts on Pumpkin spice? I don't do it often, but when i do it's spectacular. btw, what did pumpkin spice do to deserve all the hate it gets?!
Favorite winter activity? Play in snow with my family and then reward ourselves make boozy warm drinks (for the adults, not the kids!).
Favorite Holiday scent? If i could live semi-permanent fog of mulled wine aroma's, i'd be happy. and probably a little tipsy.
Caroling or sleigh riding? Caroling with nathaniel rateliff and friends at annual top-secret holiday shows (how about that for street cred!?)
Huckleberry Roaster's big plans for 2018...
DAIRY BLOCK! New cafe alert! New cafe alert! It's going to big, it's going to be radical, it's going to be delicious! Come visit us in downtown Denver!

Roaster Feature: Huckleberry Roasters
It's your classic coffee shop success story: Local barista meets customer. Customer becomes a regular. Barista and regular bond over a love for records and beer, becoming good friends. Friends experiment with roasting coffee in their garage. That coffee gives way to Huckleberry Roasters – Denver based coffee roaster and café producing some of Seattle Coffee Gear's favorite coffee.
Huckleberry Roasters is the byproduct of entrepreneurs Koan Goedman and Mark Mann's friendship that developed over a shared passion for community centric business practices and specialty coffee. Shown in their transparent relationship with their farmers, their ever growing staff of excited coffee professionals, and their dedicated following of customers expanding far beyond the Mile High City area – it's clear that Huckleberry Roasters is doing something incredibly special.
We caught up with co-founder Koan Goedman to hear a little bit about his personal journey in coffee, how Huckleberry Roasters came to be and where they're going next, and his favorite home brew method.
It seems like every coffee enthusiast has a journey where really good coffee finally clicks for them. When was that aha moment for you?
Can I claim two "aha" moments or is that a huge cop-out? The first, which happened as a consumer, I remember quite vividly. It was a natural Ethiopia Harrar from Intelligentsia brewed on a Fetco in 2002. To be totally honest, I didn't seek it out and I didn't really know what to do with the coffee when I tasted it -- it was so radically different from what I thought coffee was. It was delicious and I wanted more! Fast forward most of a decade, the second a-ha moment came very early on in Huckleberry's existence. We'd just roasted a coffee from Guatemala, called Finca La Bolsa. Joe Marrocco from Cafe Imports suggested it and who was I to argue? It was one of the first coffees that we roasted and was legit tasty! We roasted it well, we sort of knew why & how we roasted it well. It was a milestone for a tiny coffee roasting company and it propelled us forward!
It's one thing to go from simply enjoying coffee to stepping into the specialty coffee industry. What made you decide to take this venture on? What was the goal?
I wish this story was a bit more romantic, but here's the truth: it could have been anything! Mark Mann and I shared in an entrepreneurial spirit and wanted to own a business together...and coffee is what we did, what we knew and what we were interested in. Had we been heavier/savvier drinkers, maybe it would've been a neighborhood bar (I own one of those now, so what does that say about me?). Had we been makers and better with our hands, maybe it would've been a leather goods company? We knew coffee, we had an amazingly supportive community through coffee and our decision was basically made for us. The path forward seemed clear(ish).
Like most businesses, our mission statement is a living thing. It changes from time to time. Our focus gets shaped and shifted as our experience teaches us what works. However, from day one, we've always wanted Huckleberry Roasters to mean something, stand for something and leave a mark. This certainly manifests itself in our coffee philosophy, where we try to be approachable and welcoming in the coffee we source, roast, brew and serve. That foundational goal also pushes us to be generous in our fundraising and support of organizations doing important work, while also pushing ourselves forward towards a healthy, thriving and fun company culture for our family of employees.
What is your favorite coffee that you currently are roasting?
Like picking a favorite child. This is cruel! I've been on a pretty big South & Central American coffee kick lately. We just roasted the last of some of our Colombian coffees, but we have a stunner from Costa Rica, called Santa Maria, that's just the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas. It's so good! Comforting in all the right ways with deep sweetness and fantastic body, but also with some grape and candied orange fruitiness that keeps your attention. It also happens to be one of the kinds of coffees that Huckleberry prides itself in! We're really proud of the cooperative (CoopeDota) it comes from and being able to help Costa Rica continue to be a global leader in sustainable coffee growing. It's maybe not the wild & crazy flavor profile you may get from a Kenya, but it's super drinkable and enjoyable. It's the kind of coffee that I think specialty coffee needs to truly embrace if we're going to keep growing.
What is your favorite way to brew at home?
Siphon. Ha ha. False - I'm not a psycho. Honestly, the go to is the Bonavita Auto Brewer. It's easy, it's consistent, it's fast, it makes good coffee and it allows me to spend my little free time with my family.
Outside of Huckleberry, are there any other roasters your excited about?
Most def! I (and Huckleberry on the whole) have a pretty big crush on the lovelies over at Cat & Cloud. Just a bunch of superheroes over there that are hitting all the marks right now! Plus, I used to go to Capitola Beach when I was growing up, so I have a soft spot for that city. I continue to always be in total awe of Counter Culture. (Do I just have a thing for roasters with the letter C?) Counter Culture keeps growing and does so with such smoothness and ease that it's almost irritating. If only they weren't so dang nice! We get to send them coffee from time to time and their roasters give us the best, no bulls*** constructive criticism we hear.
Community is clearly at the core of Huckleberry. How did that become so central to the ethos of what you guys are doing?
I think I hinted at this a little bit in an earlier response, but...we would be nothing without the love and support of our friends & families. They said our coffee tastes good when it didn't, and encouraged us to push onward. They said our coffee tasted bad when we thought we were masters, and still encouraged us to push forward. We embraced all that love and wanted to be sure that we passed it forward ourselves - be it in the communities of our cafes, be it in being helpful to other coffee companies, so on and so on. Sadly, I think the word community has become somewhat meaningless over the last few years. It's such a trendy word to throw around that it's stopped being meaningful in a lot of ways. We do our best to push back against that tide as much as we can!
Anything else we should know about what you guys are doing at Huckleberry?
Oh, yea! Mark and I just signed our names on a lease to a new cafe! It's going to be super, duper mega radical! We'll be located in the activated lobby of The Maven Hotel in downtown Denver, as the anchor tenant to the Dairy Block development. It's a pretty expansive space, so we're going to be doing some fun stuff like a walk-up style service window on the sidewalk, in addition to the full-service counter inside. We'll be doing some exciting and snazzy food & drink things, as well as using the larger footprint to offer programming and educational workshops. Plenty to be worked out still, but sometime before the end of the year we'll be doling out LOTS of high fives!
Huckleberry Roasters is currently Seattle Coffee Gear's featured roaster, and we're proud to include a bag of their coffee with every order on Rocket espresso machines. Purchase a bag here.

Once upon a time in a land far, far away there was a fluffy kitty. This kitty was a special cat, created from puffy clouds, love, and sugar. This magical cat was the nicest kitty in the land and people would come from far and wide just to pet her super soft fur. She was everyone's friend, and everyone loved her. She lived happily ever after. The end.
Okay, so that's not exactly the story of the Ragdoll cat. But it could be. The Ragdoll is a breed created mostly for its personality, which really shows in its lovable nature. If you aren't familiar with the Ragdoll sweetness, read on and be enchanted.
Ragdoll Cat Origins
The Ragdoll didn't originate in a land far, far away–quite the opposite. This cat hails from Riverside, California. A woman by the name of Ann Baker created the breed from her favorite farm cats. Because of their feral heritage, their exact origins aren't really known. What we know about them is that Baker desired a friendly and gentle cat of substantial size. The name Ragdoll comes from the first cats of this breed allegedly going limp like a ragdoll when picked up by their human caretakers. Some people thought that this was a genetic spinal mutation, but in today's cats the name Ragdoll just describes their personality.
What Does A Ragdoll Cat Look Like?
The Ragdoll is bred for personality, but that doesn't mean they do not have a very specific look. There is a wide range in pointed coloring (pretty much any colors you'd see on a Siamese), and three distinct color patterns: mitted (white paws and the occasional face marking), bicolor (large patches of white) and colorpoint (pointed color with no white markings). Ragdolls are what is considered a "medium longhair"–fluffy, but not as much as other longhaired breeds. Their coats may be shorter or longer depending on the seasons. They do require some grooming (a simple brush or comb every week or so should do the trick), but they are easy to take care of because they love being handled and held.
That Famous Ragdoll Personality
Considered more docile than even a Persian, the Ragdoll is the most mellow cat breed. They're bred to be affectionate sweethearts and are even thought to be somewhat doglike. They are not usually climbers; you're much more likely to find a Ragdoll lounging on the sofa than climbing to the top of the bookcase. These guys love to follow their favorite humans around. They are very people-friendly, kid-friendly, pet-friendly–you get the idea. Because they're such social creatures, Ragdolls do best in a home with multiple people or other pets.
Like the princess cat in the story, everyone pretty much does love a Ragdoll, and they are everyone's friend. It's a good thing, given their completely huggable appearance. A Ragdoll is always up for a good snuggle sesh. If you love a cat that wants to be your cuddle buddy for life, a Ragdoll should be at the top of your list.

Ethiopia: Lidetu says he supports Meles over the opposition
Ethiopia: Lidetu says he supports Meles over the opposition
Published 07/12/2009 - 5:23 p.m. GMT
Lidetu Ayalew
Ethiopia: Lidetu says he supports Meles over the opposition
Jimma Times
In a statement to local journalists, Lidetu Ayalew of the Ethiopian Democratic Party (EDP) officially declared his full support to Prime Minister Meles Zenawi's Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) party over the opposition parties in the country.
Lidetu, who was once a leading official of the Coalition for Unity and Democracy (CUD) opposition party, has often been accused of breaking apart the CUD from the inside and working for Meles in the name of an opposition figure. After his clash with most of the other CUD leaders since 2005, Lidetu has went ahead to develop his EDP group and prepare for the 2010 election.
During the week, Lidetu repeatedly denounced peaceful opposition parties as extremists while labeling the EPRDF ruling party as a "moderate" compared to the opposition. Lidetu's recent aggressive attacks on the opposition has surprised many observers, including Ethiopians who expected Lidetu to recover his image damaged four years ago.
Meanwhile, Lidetu Ayalew has reportedly condemned the Obama administration's Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Ambassador Jonnie Carson, after their last dialogue with the opposition in Addis Ababa. Several representatives of the Unites States government held a meeting with leaders of the Forum (Medrek) for Democratic Dialogue (FDD) opposition coalition, which included Engineer Gezachew Shiferaw of the Unity for Democracy and Justice (UDJ), Dr. Merera Gudina of the Oromo People's Congress (OPC), Bulcha Demeksa of Oromo Federalist Democratic Movement (OFDM) and independent officials Dr. Negasso Gidada and former Defense Minister Siye Abraha.
They discussed about challenges for democracy in Ethiopia, the 2010 election, human rights issues and the case of Judge Birtukan Mideksa. However, according to FDD members, Lidetu Ayalew repeatedly tried to disturb the discussions between American government officials and the FDD officials. Lidetu criticized embassy officials for ignoring his EDP and he accused the FDD opposition coalition of allegedly being undemocratic.
Lidetu also criticized Oromo opposition leaders in Ethiopia's parliament. Recently the OFDM leader Bulcha Demeksa has said Lidetu's party is not a real opposition group since it always attacks opposition parties. Most Ethiopians similarly ask why Lidetu tries to divide the opposition based on minor ideological points that should be decided on by people's vote while the country remains in desperate conditions in which basic democratic institutions are lacking; the court, military and election board are not independent. Over the last few months only, several opposition parties have revealed that their offices continue to get closed, their members harassed or imprisoned. Particularly, legal and peaceful Oromo opposition groups face the most harassment in the country due to their support base being in the rural away from the view of embassies, where government forces routinely persecute dissidents with impunity. However, in his latest statements, Lidetu again accused the Oromo opposition for allegedly being radical by seeking self-determination and democracy for Oromo people. He added that self-determination for Oromos hurts Ethiopian unity. Lidetu declared that he prefers Meles Zenawi's OPDO sub-party of the EPRDF ruling party over the Oromo opposition groups.
Opposition Boycott
Due to the growing human rights crisis in the country for opposition groups and their supporters, most opposition leaders have increasingly hinted a boycott for 2010, finding it too hard to participate in an election with the current worsening conditions. During the last few years, a small gathering of over two opposition supporters in the rural usually leads to government crackdown and sudden arrests, while the 2005 post-election demonstrations have also ended in a bloodshed with security forces killing 193 unarmed protestors. Because of this abysmal government record, some peaceful opposition leaders are increasingly discouraged and concerned about potentially putting their members in harms way in 2010 since the military is still controlled by the ruling party. Dr. Negasso Gidada added that the Meles government is worse compared to Emperor Haile Selassie I government, which did not massacre peacefully protesting civilians as the current government did in 2005.
According to JT sources, the Meles government has been opening space for Lidetu's EDP and for another pro-government CUD faction led by the relatively unknown Ayele Chamiso, in case real opposition parties do boycott the 2010 election. Recently, the government allowed the EDP to hold conferences around the country and regularly offered the state-run lone television channel, ETV, for the pro-government CUD faction and Lidetu's EDP.
Despite several promises, critics do not expect the Obama administration to make any change in American policy toward Ethiopia. Many observers expect the EPRDF ruling party and pro-government groups like EDP to dominate the composition of the 2011 post-election parliament, potentially leading to a de facto one-party parliament for the first time in nearly a decade.

Junior Kobe Shutter has proven to be a great baseballer in his three years on the Knox team. His freshman season, Shutter had 16 runs, and a .279 batting average. However, his sophomore season, Shutter increased his batting average to .333, still holding 15 runs on the season. The field is where Shutter really shines. His sophomore season, Shutter had 126 putouts, with a fielding percentage of .968, and only gaining an impressive five errors.
This season, although just beginning, Shutter already has 17 runs and a batting average of .277. In the field this season, Shutter has 87 putouts and a fielding percentage of .938. This was at a season high when the Fire played Albright College, where Shutter had an impressive 14 putouts. Shutter has also been pitching this season, where he's earned 10 strikeouts only pitching 10.2 innings. Shutter will look to increase his statistics in the next game in the doubleheader against Illinois College on April 20.

Censoring at Random
[ Chaldeans Discussion Forum ]
Written by Qasrani on 06 Jun 2002 04:41:07:
Dear Webmaster,
I posted various responses over the course of today, including one that asked the question of what were we before we became a Catholic uniate. Obviously, we were already Christian of some sort. Why did you feel the need to remove my posts? I wasn't offensive or derogatory.
Are you trying to censor those Chaldeans that don't share your opinion? God bless the Assyrian forums, in that case! I thought they were bad, but at least I can express myself there and have engaging discussions without having my messages deleted.
I promise I won't contribute to this forum, again. And please have the decency to leave this message posted so that the regulars can read it. If not out of respect for me as a Chaldean, than just as a human being with a differing perspective who took the time to write.
I found your actions absolutely offensive. There's a thin line between censorship and maintaining the pace of discussions in a group. I think you have grossly overstepped your role. But perhaps you just want to run your corner of cyberspace as a mini-oligarchy. Too bad it will cost you tons of fruitful and engaging discussions. But perhaps you lived under Saddam Hussein's rule too long to know the difference.
In any case, I have posted my email address so that you may reply to me in private, because you don't seem like the type that could withstand a public discussion of such things.
I wish all the remaining Chaldeans on this forum all the luck. They'll need it. I only wish there were more open Chaldean discussion forums. If anyone out there knows of any, please email me there urls.

I thought this would be a fun game to play that I have seen on another forum. Basically you make up a list of new superstitions which can be as funny as you want and they can make no sense whatsoever.
For example, something like: If you break a mirror, you'll get 7 years of bad diarrhoea. Warped, I know...
I'll go first.
1: If you see a black cat, under a ladder, breaking a mirror, you will go insane and for the rest of your life, you'll see flying llamas everywhere.

I'm terrible with aloe names. So many unnamed and/or forgotten hybrids brought home from plant shows. But there's one aloe I've recently acquired whose identity I'm betting will be unforgettable. And it happens to be in bloom, so let's have a look, shall we?
Easy to remember because, first of all, it's not a hybrid, so there's just two words to its name. Elegantly simple binomial nomenclature at work. Aloe scobinifolia, a stemless aloe from Somalia (aka Somalian Aloe)
Inflorescence in a capitate arrangement
("capitate: of an inflorescence, with the flowers unstalked and aggregated into a dense cluster..")
Memorable also for the pale, almost albino quality to the leaves. Doubly so because the leaves are smooth, spineless.
I love this blonde-on-blonde look with the variegated St. Augustine grass. In rainier times, I wouldn't presume to keeping this rambunctious spreader under control.
Long-legged in bloom, about 2 and half feet
the Somalian Aloe, I have just two more words for you: simply unforgettable.
