Date Night: Neighborhood Elegance (and Very Good Meatballs) at AlMar in Dumbo
Spots for every kind of date.
With the exception of some major intersections and a few extremely low-lit streets, Dumbo seems an ideal place to raise a family. In just a few blocks, there are several great parks, a well-stocked candy store, and restaurants like AlMar, made for a quick bite with your sweetie before you have to relieve the babysitter, or a longer winey evening to celebrate or catch up with friends. Other guests tied their dogs up outside, greeted the waitstaff, and plopped down at a favorite table with a glass of red and back issues of The New Yorker, without care or concern. This restaurant felt of the neighborhood, rather than simply in it.
On the recommendation of DumboNYC, Chowhound, Yelp, Menupages, and friends who live in the area, we tried Alfredo's meatballs in tomato sauce ($8). The rumors were true! Smothered in fresh red sauce, with lank basil leaves, the meatballs were crumbly and good, smaller than what Mom used to make.
Some say we eat with our eyes, but in truth we eat with our noses. And at AlMar we really ate with our noses. The buffalo ricotta, truffle oil and honey bruschette ($10) came piled so high, some of the layers went where smells normally go, literally up our noses, and, well, we'll spare you the rest. Enough to say that this is an appetizer for ricotta lovers, less so for those who prefer their bruschette chewy or their honey aggressive.
Of course, one measure of an Italian restaurant is its facility with pasta. So, we ordered the linguine with zucchine, arugula avocado pesto, tomato and shrimp ($16). Avocado gave the pesto a decadent fattiness, but we weren't wild about the cubed zucchini, which were hard to eat (ribbons would have been better, as well as lending a visual counterpoint to the pasta strands). Twirling it up, we gave our shirts green polka dots, but didn't care.
We didn't need wine, as the red wine-braised rabbit ($22) was thoroughly, pleasurably saturated, like some Saturday nights. Rabbits are associated with spring, but they're really a fall dish, gamey and frank. Served with a side of polenta, AlMar's version showed the restaurant's dexterity with creatures of the earth.
It's too bad Mayor Bloomberg didn't check out AlMar before preparing the proposal for New York City to hold the Olympic Games: AlMar's polished concrete space would have been perfect for a floor routine. Truly humongous mirrors further enlarge the almost austere dining area. Break one, though, and you're looking at 700 years of bad luck, rather than the usual 7. Keep your hands on your partner or on your entree, and you'll be fine. With its industrial charm and envy-inducing clientele, AlMar is best for: a date with a side of fantasy.

Hello. If anyone here has any experience with Websphere or iSeries, I would appreciate some help. I posted this topic in the Websphere forum , but it seems that forum isn't very active. Anyway, I can't get my style sheet to work with a java servlet application that I installed on an iSeries server. I put together the app and style sheet through WebSphere and exported everything to the server as an .ear file, installed the application and the program works; however, the app isn't accessing the style sheet. I'm new to both iSeries and Websphere. I've been trying this line:
writer.println("<LINK rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='Master.css'>");
and have tried putting the style sheet in the same folder as the class file, tried putting it in the Java Source folder, tried it all over the place really and have tried making the path absolute. I've also tried pasting the .java file into the classes folder with the .class file. None of my efforts have been successful. Is this even possible? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Our parent organization, the Business Ecology Initiative, just announced the addition of Peter Fingar, Author and Business-Technology Advisor, to the Optimization for Innovation: Reset conference program. Fingar's keynote is Business Innovation in the Cloud:
Shift happens. The unexpected matters. Right now, there's something in the air, something really big. It's so big that to many it's hidden in plain sight. We are witnessing a seismic shift in information technology, the kind that comes around every decade or so, and it will have a huge impact on business, especially in today's volatile economy and world of exponential change. It's called "the Cloud," a 21st century business platform built on cloud computing technologies.
In this keynote, Peter takes us on a fascinating journey to explore what the Cloud portends for business. In the past, IT was about productivity; now in the Cloud it's about collaboration, a shared information base, and collective intelligence. The "wow" isn't about on-demand IT, it's about on-demand business innovation. Buckle up and get ready to win in this brave new world. You don't want to miss Peter's fast-paced and insightful talk.
Attendees will:
- Gain a fresh perspective on Change, Inc., that is, the current shift from linear change to a world of exponential change where we're completely unprepared because we have no prior frame of reference.
- Understand the shift from Information Technology (IT) to Business Technology (BT) enabled by SOA and Web 2.0, especially with the advent of Social Media.
- Learn how work works in the Cloud with Business Process Management (BPM) powering the new Business Network, the new Business Operations Platform, the new Business Operating System.
- Explore innovation's child, that is, outside-in customer-driven innovation and why BPM in multi-company business networks is needed in order to execute on innovation and to become a serial innovator.
- Come to grips with the "end of management," as we know it, and the move from command-and-control to connect-and-collaborate management with transparency being the invisible hand of management control. We'll also explore the new leadership needed in the fast paced world of total global competition.

Last week an advisor called me after reading some of my writings on AdvisorOne. He was considering taking the RIA route and wanted to get my thoughts on the matter. We spoke for about 20 minutes as I attempted to answer his questions. In a typical month, I receive a few calls like this with a consistent question, "Which custodian should I select?" Therefore, in this post, I'd like to give you an update on my choice, TradePMR.
TradePMR may not be a household name…yet, but they are clearly gaining ground. One of the things I like is that fact that they don't compete with their advisors. For example, Scottrade or TD Ameritrade have a do-it-yourself platform in addition to their RIA service. While this may not be an issue to some, by not doing so TradePMR is able to focus 100% of its resources on its clients, namely, the investment advisors it serves.
Another key ingredient is TradePMR's personnel, especially its technology guru, Dennis Suppe. Dennis spent time heading up key initiatives for the Microsoft Corporation back in the 1990s. His experience has been instrumental in the development of Trade's eCustody system, a technology platform second to none. Without delving into the details, let's just say its technological advancements have made my job much easier.
Last August, TradePMR changed clearing firms from Sterne Agee to First Clearing Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo. This change has brought many enhancements. For example, because Firs Clearing uses omnibus accounts, Trade PMR's advisors can now access institutional share classes of mutual funds. With Sterne, we had access to a few institutional shares with a few fund families. This enhancement allows advisors to utilize the lowest expense ratio for a given fund. Any reduction in a fund's expense ratio translates to a higher return than, for example, a class A or other share class. Even if it's only 0.15% to 0.40%, it boosts returns by an equivalent amount.
TradePMR has a performance reporting tool available for a modest fee. Hence, I do not need to pay a high subscription fee for an outside tool and I also do not have to reconcile my data each day, which saves a great deal of time. It also has an agreement with Morningstar and provide Morningstar's three-page portfolio snapshot report and fund detail pages along with a stock overlap report. And for only $50 per year, you can subscribe to Morningstar's fixed income database and include individual fixed income in the portfolio snapshot reports. Finally, for less than the retail price, you can access Morningstar's QuoteSpeed, a valuable system for deep analytics.
I'm sure there are other quality custodians out there. This just happens to be the one I chose.
Have a great week and thanks for reading!

Watch a comet passing near the Sun
Most of the comets usually observed by ESA's SOHO spacecraft quickly burn up in the Sun's hot atmosphere. On 20 April 2002, the newly found Comet SOHO-422 did not, but here you see its progress.
Like most of the hundreds of comets found with the ESA-NASA Sun-watching spacecraft, SOHO-422 was first noticed by an amateur astronomer. Pictures from SOHO are made available, freely and rapidly, on the Internet. People all around the world look especially at images from the LASCO C3 instrument, which covers the widest region of space, hoping for the honour of winning the race to spot the next incoming comet.
In this case, XingMing Zhou of China was the sharp-eyed discoverer of what is officially designated as Comet 2002 G3 (SOHO). An animation of successive images of the comet (see link) shows it entering from the bottom left and following a curved track upwards. It passed behind a pillar that holds the mask blocking direct sunlight.
On 17 April 2002, the comet made its closest approach to the Sun. In the next few days it continued upwards and to the right before moving out of the field of view.
Caution: This comet was visible only with SOHO's special equipment. Never try to see sun-grazing comets by looking at the Sun yourself - the brightness will damage your eyes!
SOHO is a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA. The spacecraft was built in Europe for ESA, equipped with instruments by teams of scientists in Europe and the United States, and launched by NASA in December 1995.

The Simon Fraser University Human Security Report for 2011/12 is out. This year's edition focuses on sexual violence in war, and the findings are astonishing. Essentially, SFU found that the data shows much of the conventional wisdom on such issues as rape as a weapon of war, who is committing rape in wartime, and negative effects on education is completely wrong. Among the report's findings:
- Conflicts in which extreme sexual violence is committed (think DRC) are exceptional outliers, not the norm.
- While reporting of sexual violence in wartime has increased, there is no evidence to support the oft-repeated-by-high-level-UN-officials claim that incidences of wartime sexual violence are increasing.
- Strategic rape incidences, aka "rape as a weapon of war" are not increasing, either.
- Domestic (household & intimate partner) sexual violence is by far the most prevalent form of sexual and gender-based violence in wartime.
- Male victims and female perpetrators of rape in wartime may be greater than previously believed.
- That statistic that 3 in 4 Liberian women were victims of sexual violence during the country's war? No evidence whatsoever for the claim. The real rate of lifetime sexual violence in Liberia is more like 18% - exactly the same as the rate of SGBV in the United States - which means it's impossible that 75% of women were raped or otherwise sexually assaulted during the wars.
- There is no evidence to support the UN claim that sexual violence committed against children in conflict-affected countries is increasing.
- Conflict doesn't have a net negative effect on educational outcomes.

Come all ye honest plowmen, Old England's fate you hold! - Old Song
Preparing Soil For Planting
In spite of the teachings of the no-digging and no-plowing school of husbandmen, people still go on digging and plowing, as they have done ever since Neolithic times, and my guess is that they will go on digging and plowing as long as men live on this earth. For there is really no other way of effectively growing arable crops - at least, without the impracticable use of enormous quantities of compost.
Cobbett says, in Cottage Economy: 'As to the act of making bread, it would be shocking indeed if that had to be taught by means of books.' I would like to paraphrase that: 'as to the act of digging'. The only thing I will say about it, realizing that the flight from the cities is likely to include people who have practically never seen a spade, is that you should nearly always dig a trench when you begin preparing soil for planting: that is, remove one spit of soil (a spit is the wedge of soil cut by the spade) out in a furrow right across your piece of ground and dump it, then turn the next row of spits upside down into the furrow you have left. Thus you always have an open furrow in front of you to invert your spits into. When you come to the end of your piece you should, in theory at least, load the first lot of spits you dug out and dumped into a wheelbarrow and cart them back to fill up the empty furrow that has been left at the end.
One other way to till the soil is to split your work down the middle and dig from alternate ends. You can then throw the first spit of each long narrow strip into the last furrow of the other. It is often admissible, however, to dig by inverting the spits in situ and not 'digging to a trench' when you are digging land over for the second time, or just loosening the soil around soft fruit bushes, or digging with a fork. But the serious self-supporter is likely to be more interested in growing food than in such counsels of perfection. But, in my experience at any rate, the more you dig the better, and it is better to dig badly than not dig at all.
If we wish to grow food on a larger scale, then there are three things we can do effectively. One is to buy an agricultural tractor for plowing fields. The other is go in for one of those little garden cultivators: either a rotovator or a mini-plow. The third is to plow by horse.
Tractor Plows
In comparing these different methods of cultivating and preparing soil for planting I will merely draw on my own experience. We have now a Ferguson diesel tractor which cost us $180 together with a fore-end loader, a link box, and a mounted spring-tine cultivator. For $180 we could not have got much of a garden cultivator which you can comfortably lift off the ground with one hand. We can always borrow from a neighbor a two-furrow plow to fit on the tractor (a good secondhand one from a farm sale would cost us about 25 dollars), and we could certainly plow very deeply and well five acres in a day (if we were willing to spend a whole day doing one job, which we are not). This tractor will break up rough ground and bury any amount of rubbish as it plows; if it hits a boulder in our boulder-strewn glacial deposit of a farm, it just stops the tractor, and if the boulder is no bigger than I am it will lift it right out of the ground with its hydraulics. The spring-tine cultivator covers a lot of ground, therefore it is easy to make many passes with it, and it will pulverize the roughest soil and make a seed-bed. Or almost make a seed-bed - it is generally desirable to haul a set of light harrows, or a ring-roll, over the land after it, to make the tilt fine enough for small seeds. The tractor will work in a small garden both with the plow and the spring-tine cultivator - so long as the garden is quite empty of crops and unencumbered. It becomes difficult when there are patches of crop left which must be undisturbed, for the tractor takes room to maneuver.
I must explain here that Harry Ferguson revolutionized tractor work when he invented the three-point linkage (which has now been adopted on most tractors), and for the first time made it possible to use tractors in confined areas of ground. Hitherto a tractor hauled a set of plow shares mounted on wheels - like a kind of cumbersome gun-carriage being dragged along behind the tractor. The plows could (in some cases) be lifted out of the ground by locking the carrying bar to the wheels so that the turning of the wheels lifted the plows up into the air, and then the tractor could be turned fairly easily. But even so it was difficult to plow the headlands, impossible to plow into the corners, and impossible to plow right up against the hedge.
The three-point linkage changed all this, and made the big tractor a possible implement for using in small gardens. The plow was now mounted on three arms which stuck out of the back of the tractor, two of them activated by the hydraulics. Wheels are dispensed with, and the equipment is compact in the extreme. By pulling a lever the driver can whip the plows right out of the ground when it is easy to back the tractor into any odd corner and plow right up into the hedge. Most other implements can be three point mounted too, and thus used with the same ease and maneuverability. The three-point linkage undoubtedly saved what was left of the hedges of England, for it made it easy to plow right up to a hedge. In the old dragged-plow days plowing small fields was intolerable, and farmers were bulldozing out their hedges to knock small fields into bigger ones as fast as they could. Now this process has been slowed down at any rate, if not stayed.
As to the costs, and general bother, of the big tractor, I have sorrowfully to report that my machine has cost me over its purchase price already in repairs. Being a diesel it is hard to start: if not used frequently its batteries get flat and the high compression engine is very hard to turn. I either have to leave it on top of a hill and run it down to start it, or else use a jump-lead from my car battery, and it canes that. Alternatively I take the tractor batteries out (and they are very heavy!) and put them on charge with a trickle-charger (yes, we now are on the electric mains). As for fuel oil for the diesel, to run it economically, in Britain at least, you will have to use duty-free oil. To obtain this you will either have to have your own large storage tank, or else buy at cost price from neighboring farmers. Diesel fuel you buy in garages is taxed, and nearly twice the money. But our tractor has many uses. It plows both field and large garden, it harrows the pastures, it hauls firewood from the forest, it cuts grass for hay, it turns and tedders the hay, it carries the bales, it pulls a muck-spreader that we borrow from a neighbor when we have a lot of muck to spread, or when we have a little it carries that little in its link-box - a kind of scoop that fits on to the three-point linkage. The fore-end loader has a fork attachment which will load muck into a muck-spreader very quickly indeed, or a dozer attachment which can be used for leveling land.
If you have anything over an acre of arable land it might well pay to get a big tractor, if you can buy one cheap. It might well pay to get a petrol-paraffin, or 'T.V.O.' one, for these are much easier to start (you can swing them by hand) and if they do cost a little more for fuel, well how much fuel will you use anyway on a small place? In using a farm tractor on a smallholding you are using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but if you can get a sledgehammer for the price of a nut-cracker - and it does the job equally well or better - then maybe it is worth it. Our present holding is seventy acres, so, in the absence of time to do our work with horses, we need a large tractor to plow the fields.
Garden Cultivators and Tillers
Garden cultivators are a different thing altogether. The kind that pull plowshares-unless they are very heavy ones-I would discount. They plow but I don't believe they plow very well. The rotovator kind are of two types. One, like the Howard, pulls itself along by its wheels and stirs the soil by means of the rotovator. Others, like the Merrytiller, have no power-driven wheels while they are rotovating, but shove themselves along with the rotovator itself.
The latter are harder work to handle but I believe they do a better job if you are comparing machines of the same size. The Merrytiller type of machine is excellent for inter-row cultivation, for keeping land clean between soft fruit trees, and for the initial clearing of small areas of ground. It is nimble, handy and cheap. The bigger wheel-propelled machines like the Howard are better for working large areas of land.
The consumption of fuel for all these machines is almost negligible, but the amount of ground they can get over in a day is comparatively small. To use a garden cultivator on a field scale is tedious beyond belief, and they make an awful lot of noise. If you like to hear the birds sing while you work (and for me that is very important) they are not for you.
Farming with Horses
And so we come to the horse, and here many people who have not worked with horses, or seen them working, will say "How absurd! You might as well go back to plowing with oxen!" Well I have plowed with oxen, and would very much like to do so again and may one day. There is nothing wrong with plowing with oxen at all. And as for horses-they have a great deal to be said for them.
Plowing: With two good horses it is possible to plow an acre of moderate land in a day. Your fuel need cost you nothing (at least nothing that has to come from outside the farm), you can hear the birds sing as you work, and will not be working in diesel or petrol fumes, and, if you have a good rapport with your horses, plowing a field can be a delight. I don't believe there is a more entrancing occupation. And there is one little thing that a horse can do that a tractor can't, and that is to have another horse. A mare can work in chains (although not in shafts) to within a few hours of foaling. She foals in the spring, so can work the winter through, which is when you want to do your plowing. After she has had her foal she must rest for six weeks at least, and then only come into her work gradually.
Now one horse will not plow an acre a day, nor will he plow very deep, or plow very rough ground. Nevertheless, one horse can very well do the cultivations of a smallholding. If the ground is too rough to put the plow into it, put pigs on it. They will pioneer the way for your one-horse plow for you. A horse will plow land very well that has not been allowed to go too far, but on long tussocky grass, tough old pasture too coarse for sheep to graze down properly or rough grass between apple trees, your one-horse plow will not manage. Pigs are your answer for such problems, and if you can't use pigs, then get a contractor in with a big tractor. And then, when your land has been initially bust-up, keep it bust-up - by plowing and plowing with your one horse, or dragging through it such harrows and cultivators as you can lay your hands on. Keep 'pulling of it about': grass is the enemy of the plow: don't let it come back.
The kind of horse plow that we use nowadays, when we do use a horse plow (and one is very useful for row-crop work even if you have got a tractor), is the Brabant. We bought ours in Spain. This is a wheeled turning plow, or one-way plow, with no handles. You don't have to hold it, it steers itself as long as the horse walks in the furrow. All you have to do is turn it round at the headland and swing the shares over, so as to turn the furrow the other way. As the plow is also turned the other way that means that you go back plowing the same way. Plowing with a one way plow, whether by horse or by tractor, is much easier and demands less skill than plowing with a fixed-furrow plow. But if you try plowing with a fixed-furrow plow you will see the difficulty immediately, and have to set about finding a way round it. You must plow a furrow, then turn round and plow another furrow against the first. You then go round and round this, each time plowing another furrow towards your first two furrows: gathering the stetch as plowmen say. When you think you've gone far enough you can start another stetch by laying out another top - in other words, going to one side into unplowed ground and plowing two more virgin furrows leaning up against each other. The Horse in the Furrow, by George Ewart Evans (Faber and Faber), is the best book I have ever found dealing with this complicated subject, but no book in the world can beat half an hour's instruction from an old horseman. Good plowing with horses is a highly skilled and technical job, and it takes years to learn to do it properly, but anybody can scratch away with a plow well enough to turn his land over somehow or other. Perfection will come with time.
Other implements you can pull with a horse are many and various. A ring-roll or Cambridge roll is a very good thing to have; the rings can be bought separately and made up to any width required. Cultivators, scufflers, expanding horseshoes and steerage hoes come in great variety. An implement I like is the old-fashioned hoop-hoe, which any blacksmith can make. The spring-toothed harrow is a marvelous implement. A tractor normally tows a gang of these: a horse will easily pull just one member of the gang and you can adjust the depth at which the tines go down into the soil. These spring-toothed harrows are easy of draught and marvelous at pulling down clods and getting a seed bed, and you can often get them at farm sales.
Digging by hand, or hoeing by hand, are immensely slow and laborious jobs. Cobbett, writing in 1820, claimed that a man could dig with the spade twelve rods a day. A modern man could not dig anything like so much, and I am fairly certain that no man reared in a city could do a quarter of it. A one-horse plow might very well do half an acre in a day, or eighty rods. That is the difference. As for hoeing, the difference is far greater: what would take a week to hand-hoe can be done in an hour or two with a horse-hoe. But mark, you will also have to hand-hoe your row crops in the end no matter how many times you horse or tractor hoe them. This is because no mechanical device can get in between the plants in the rows, nor tell the difference between a weed and a plant. But a working horse lightens the job of husbandry enormously; he really enables you to get on top of your holding. As to where you can get all these horse implements: well, up to now, farm sales have been the answer. Up until 1970 anyway you could get practically any horse implement you wanted, in Britain at least, for a few shillings. Now people are beginning to buy up horse plows to stick up outside pubs and the market is wearing thin. Ireland, incidentally, is a richer source of old horse tools than is England, and in France or Belgium you can still get anything you want in this line new: although God help you when you try to get it through the British customs.
The Horse Harness: One thing you have to have with a horse, of course, is harness. This you used to be able to buy up at farm sales for a few pennies or sometimes get for nothing; now if it is any. good it is snapped up and hung on a pub wall. You can get good harness, new or secondhand, on the Continent still, or in Eire, and Spain makes some of the best harness in the world, and the cheapest. The imagination boggles at trying to get past the British customs though. If you can use a needle you can do a lot in the way of repairing old harness, but if the leather has perished then it is useless. Harness hung up on pub walls for a year or two is ruined: one thing leather can't stand is drying out. Harness must have oil: not too much but enough. In South Africa we used to use mutton fat, and it worked very well. In Britain people generally use neat's foot oil. You should oil or grease the grain side-that is the rough inside of the leather, but wash the polished outside of the leather with water and saddle soap. It seems a general rule that animal fats and oils are better for animal products, vegetable for vegetable (e.g., linseed oil for cricket bats) and mineral for mineral (e.g., mineral oil for motor cars). Wet is the enemy of leather, but oil keeps it out. Heat is a worse enemy: to dry harness on a radiator is to kill it stone dead.
You must get somebody to show you how to put the harness on the horse. There are certain principles that have to be considered. Forward power is transmitted from the horse by the tugs (see the image gallery). If the horse is working in chains (i.e., pulling a plow or such instrument) the chains go straight to the collar, from a whippletree. The latter is a 'spreader' of wood or iron that keeps the chains apart so that they don't pinch the horse. A back-strap can go over the horse's back to keep the chains from sagging and getting under his hind legs when he stops. This strap should be long enough to allow the chains to be straight when the horse is pulling. When the horse is in shafts, the ridge pad (like a saddle) supports the ridge chain, which holds the shafts up and also takes any weight which is on the shafts owing to a two-wheeled cart being front-heavy. The girth strap goes under the belly of the horse to prevent the cart falling over backwards if it is back-heavy. The britchin goes round the horse's buttocks and is chained on to the shafts to keep the cart back if the horse is going downhill, or to back the cart. So with shafts there are just three chains to hook on one side of the horse, and two the other. The order of hooking them on ('shutting the horse in' or 'putting him in') is: go to the off side (right side) of the horse, hook the tug on, throw the ridge chain over, hook the britchin chain on. Go to the other side and hook the ridge chain on, then the britchin. See that the britchin is not too tight so that it worries the horse, but is not too slack either, for if it is the front of the cart will shove against the horse's backside when you go downhill and annoy him. See that the shafts are a comfortable height and length and don't pinch the horse, or poke him in the face when you are turning. If the tugs are correctly adjusted you should be able to produce an imaginary line from them, going backwards, and this line should pass through the hubs of the wheels. I don't think anybody should try to harness a horse unless they have been shown how, but if you have to, remember that you must take the ham off the collar, or at least loosen them, and put the collar on upside down, and then reverse it and put the hames on. Generally you must do this with the bridle off the horse, or the collar won't go on over it.
Feeding a Horse: With the little work you will have to do cultivating land on a very small holding, if the horse gets plenty of grass, you will hardly have to feed him at all. When the horse is not working he will live on grass alone, and don't give him too rich grass either (particularly if he is a pony) or he will get ill. In the winter, if grass is short, you must give him more or less hay according to how much grass there is. If you work a horse at all hard you must give him other things besides grass. Hay is better than all-grass for a working horse. Grass makes a horse soft. Hay keeps him hard. The hay must be good if you feed it to horses: dusty or mouldy hay is dangerous. All-clover hay is bad too, except for nursing mothers. Oat straw can be a substitute for hay, and I have fed horses most successfully on oats in the sheaf: that is one sheaf a day of unthreshed oats. They eat it straw, corn, and all. O.M.C.S. (Old Mother Common Sense) will tell you to take the string out.
If the horse is working hard though you must pay him with oats, crushed maize or other corn. A big plow horse, working a full day, needs as much as 20 pounds of oats or other corn a day. For light work perhaps half that. A cob, say of 5 feet, would do with perhaps three or five pounds for light work, ten for heavy continuous work, plus hay, and/or straw. Bran is also good. Eight to ten pounds of hay is about right, with no grass: less with grass. Feeding should be at least three times a day, and the horse should be given plenty of time to eat: at least a full hour. A working horse should be groomed once a day. When the horse is not working he should not have corn, or if he does only a very little. If you rest a hard-working horse you must knock off his corn, otherwise he will get ill.
You must shoe your horse about once every six weeks, whether you are working him or not. If you turn him out to grass for a long period you had better pull the shoes off him: if you leave them on, his feet will go on growing under the shoes and he will go lame. Shoeing is a highly skilled job and no unskilled person should tackle it. The demand for the service of shoeing smiths is now insatiable, in Britain at least, and this is a very good and profitable profession for a young man to go in for. You get two pounds per horse, and should easily be able to do ten in a day: twenty pounds a working day and no rat-race is not to be sneezed at: see if you can earn that by getting a degree in philosophy.
Breeding Horses: The profitability of the smallholding horse can be increased enormously if she is a good mare, and used for breeding as well as work. Your mare may do any work for the first six or seven months of pregnancy: then she should only work in chains, for the shafts are uncomfortable for her. She can be worked, with advantage to her health, right up to foaling: many a mare has dropped her foal in the field in which she has been plowing, with no ill results.
After foaling the mare should be pampered a bit: a nice warm bran mash for example, some oats, and she should be turned out on to good fresh grass: if possible on which no horses have been grazing for some time. She should not be worked at all for at least six weeks, and then only be given very light work for a few hours a day up to the time of weaning. Before weaning she should not be kept away from the foal for more than two or three hours. Weaning can be at four months, but the later the better for the foal. When you wean the foal you must keep him out of hearing of the mare, on very good pasture, and then start working the mare as hard as you like to help dry her milk off. Good summer grass is ample for the foal, but when the first winter comes you should give him perhaps a couple of pounds of crushed oats and three or four pounds a day of good hay. If you want a gelding get the vet, or a wise man, to come and castrate him at about a year old, when the weather has become milder after the winter but before the flies are about. Foals on pasture should have their hoofs rasped down every so often, so that the frog (the soft bit in the middle) just rests on the ground.
The sooner you halter-break the foal, the better. Get a rope halter on at a few days old, and teach the foal to be led and not be afraid of people. Get him used to having his feet lifted. You can begin to break him for work in his second summer (one assumes he was born in the spring). Breaking should be a gradual but firm process. Keep him in for a time (nothing tames a horse, or gets him used to humans, so much as being kept inside), handle him a lot, get him used to wearing harness, trotting round on a leading rein (if you are going to ride him he should have a mouthing bit and a breaking harness for a week or two), then try him in chains in front of something that doesn't matter, such as a set of harrows.
Pasture Grazing: Horses living out don't want very good fattening pasture. It is bad for them. The wider range of grazing they have the better, and they do not thrive on land where only horses are kept. They do far better running out either with, or after, cattle. A horse kept out all the time and worked occasionally and lightly is most unlikely to get ill. One worked hard and continuously must be stabled and fed 'high', and it takes a skilled horseman to keep him fit and working. You are being forced to keep him unnaturally, i.e., on food that is richer than his digestion was evolved to cope with. But a horse out on grass should give you very little trouble, if any at all.
How to Buy a Horse: There is no mystery about this - if you want to do really heavy work, perhaps till a farm of fifty or a hundred acres or more with horses, you will have to buy proper heavy horses, Shires, Clydesdales, Percherons or Suffolks. Personally I should never have any hesitation - I should plump for Suffolks. They are the kindest, most noble, and most beautiful animals that ever walked. But if you just want to pull a one-horse plow get a good strong cob. Go to a horse sale and buy one, or to a good dealer who won't cheat you. Have a vet look at him first if you feel like it. At a reputable horse sale animals are 'sold sound' - that is you have a come-back if there is anything wrong with the animal. Do not, until you are an expert, buy a horse from anybody but a man with a reputation to lose unless you have the animal vetted. If you are a beginner buy a fairly old horse already broken and trained. You don't want both to be learners. If you have a good horse, and are kind to him, and work a lot with him, you will get very fond of him and he will of you. He will be a source of great pleasure to you. He will be pleased to see you and will try to please you. And he will cultivate your large garden or small fields as well as any tractor and better in many ways.
Tool Choices for Cultivating Land
To compare the pros and cons of these three main sources of power for land cultivation on the smallholding, farm tractors, garden cultivators and horses, we end up with this: A secondhand farm tractor is immensely good value for what it is, because a tractor that is too old for a full-size farm is not too old for doing occasional odd-jobs on a smallholding, and also that sometimes the government subsidizes farmers who buy new tractors whereupon they sell their old ones long before they need to.
It will cope with any of the cultivation jobs in the field, will cultivate even in fair-sized gardens, but is not as good as either garden cultivator or horse at doing row-crop work or working in confined spaces. Any fool can use it. The garden cultivator may cost as much, new, as an old farm tractor, and beware of getting an old garden cultivator unless you know that there is a very good reason for its being for sale. They wear out. It is infinitely slower than a farm tractor, won't really plow (unless it is a very big one), is fine for row crops, no good for transporting things, and any fool can use it.
The horse costs about as much as the secondhand farm tractor or the new garden cultivator. If you have enough land you can feed him for nothing, and if she is a mare she may give you foals. These can be a very valuable export item. A horse will cover ground much more slowly than a farm tractor but much faster than a garden cultivator. He is very good for row crops and for transport. Working with a horse can be a delight but the horseman must be a sensitive and intelligent man. The horse is no tool for fools, and no fool can use him.
Come all ye honest plowmen
Old England's fate you hold
Who labour in the winter time
In stormy winds and cold
To clothe our fields in plenty
Our farmyards to renew
That bread may not be wanting
Behold the painful plow!
The townsman in his turmoil
The gentleman at ease
Forget the gal/ant sailor
Who plows the raging seas
But we do give him sustenance
And this he knows be true
He sails upon the Ocean
By virtue of the plow.

Jurors Start Deliberating Wayland Slaying Case
Lawyers in the trial of a Wayland man charged with killing his ex-girlfriend just weeks after they graduated from high school have completed closing statements and the case is in the hands of the jury.
Middlesex Superior Court jurors are scheduled to begin deliberations Wednesday in Nathanial Fujita's murder trial.
The 20-year-old Fujita is charged with strangling and stabbing Lauren Astley in July 2011. They were both 18 at the time.
Defense attorney William Sullivan said in closings Tuesday that his client had a psychotic episode at the time of the killing and wasn't responsible for his actions.
The prosecutor said Fujita killed Astley "with deliberate premeditation," and the slaying was carefully planned. Lisa McGovern said there is no such thing as a "psychosis fairy."

UN calls on donors to meet aid commitments : where are the dollars ?
As G20 prepares to meet
Global poverty-fighting commitments are more important than ever in a world facing economic, food and climate crises, the UN said last week, 8 days before G20 Summit, in a report on support for the Millennium Development Goals. More information in this UNDP press release.
Global poverty-fighting commitments are more important than ever in a world facing economic, food and climate crises, the UN said last week, 8 days before G20 Summit, in a report on support for the Millennium Development Goals. More information in this UNDP press release.
Although development assistance rose to record levels in 2008, donors are falling short by $35 billion per year on the 2005 pledge on annual aid flows made by the Group of Eight in Gleneagles, and by $20 billion a year on aid to Africa, according to UN estimates.
The report on Strengthening the Global Partnership for Development in a Time of Crisis was written by the Secretary-General's MDG Gap Task Force, which brings together more than 20 UN agencies, the IMF, the World Bank, WTO and the OECD, to track progress on the development partnership called for in the eighth Millennium Development Goal.
Speaking as world leaders prepare for next week's General Assembly opening in New York, and the G20 Pittsburgh summit later in the month, United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro cited last year's confluence of steep recession and food shortages, the expected spread of pandemic influenza this year, and the continuing impact of climate change as factors impeding progress on realization of the MDGs.
"In times of growth, we achieved a great deal," she said. "Now, the world must show that it can also make progress under adverse conditions—when the poor, the hungry and the vulnerable need us most."
ODA 'coverage gap'
Official development assistance (ODA) rose by about 10 per cent in 2008, to $119.8 billion, according to the Report. The share of ODA in the gross national income of donor countries improved as well – from 0.28 per cent in 2007 to 0.30 per cent in 2008. But this increase remains far from the agreed target of 0.7 per cent to be reached by 2015. It also falls short of the commitment to increase annual aid flows to about $155 billion per year by 2010. The global crisis has put aid budgets of donor countries under pressure, making it harder to meet that intermediate target.
The Report also highlights a 'coverage gap' in ODA distribution, as most of the increase in ODA since 2000 has been limited to a handful of post-conflict countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan. In contrast, many of the poorest nations in Africa have seen very little increase in aid.
Developing countries have been hurt by the collapse in trade finance since the onset of the financial crisis, tallied at a falloff of somewhere between $100 and $300 billion. Strangulation of trade finance has been combined to ill effect with new trade restrictions in many countries, and a stalemate in the Doha development round of trade negotiations.
Compared with a 2005 agreement by the World Trade Organization in Hong Kong to allow 97 per cent duty-free access to imports from the poorest countries, only 80 per cent of least developed country (LDC) exports have acquired duty-free status in industrialized country markets.
The Report also finds that even after the success of two major debt relief initiatives, high prices for imported fuel and food combined with weak demand for export commodities have left many developing countries with difficulties in paying their external debts.
Access to medicines and technology
The UN Report finds that just as the purchasing power of the poor is under threat, the cost of many essential medicines is rising. On average, people in developing countries now pay three to six times more than international reference prices for the cheapest generic medicines.
The digital divide between the prosperous and the poor remains wide, both among and within countries. Although more than 65 million new mobile phone subscribers signed up in Africa in 2007, the penetration rate is still less than a third of the population, as compared to 100 per cent in developed countries. Fixed broadband Internet service remains prohibitively expensive in the developing world, where people pay 10 times more than in industrialized countries.
Strengthening the Global Partnership for Development recommends public-private partnerships to improve access to essential medicines, mobile cellular telephony and Internet service. A major theme emerging from the UN study is that implementation of the full range of global commitments can effectively advance economically and environmentally sustainable growth —growth that mitigates climate change while addressing the political, economic and public health deficits associated with extreme poverty.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Using a metered-dose inhaler with a spacer (Child)
Shake the inhaler and remove the inhaler cap. Check the inhaler instructions to see if you need to prime your inhaler before you use it. If it needs priming, follow the instructions on how to prime your inhaler. Then place the mouthpiece of the inhaler into the spacer.
Remove the cap from the spacer.
Hold the inhaler upright with the mouthpiece at the bottom.
Tilt your head back slightly and breathe out slowly and completely.
Place the spacer's mouthpiece in your mouth.
Press down on the inhaler to spray one puff of medicine into the spacer and then start breathing in slowly (press first, then breathe in). Then hold your breath for 10 seconds, to give the medicine time to settle in your lungs.
If you need to take a second dose, wait 30 to 60 seconds to allow the inhaler valve to refill.

Home > Fitness & Health > Health Library > Menstruation: Not Having a Period by Age 15
The menstrual cycle is the series of changes a woman's body goes through to prepare for a possible pregnancy. Most girls start having periods between the ages of 11 and 15.
A girl who has not had her first period by age 15 has what is called primary amenorrhea. This is different from infrequent or light menstrual cycles, which are very common in teen girls, particularly in the first couple of years after menstruation begins. Primary amenorrhea is also different than if a girl starts having periods, but then stops having periods for at least 3 cycles.
Causes of primary amenorrhea include:
If no problem can be found to explain why you are not having periods, your doctor may prescribe birth control pills to help control your cycle. These will also help keep your bones strong, reducing your risk for brittle bones (osteoporosis). Your doctor also may prescribe calcium supplements to help ensure that your bones stay healthy.
Girls who have not begun to develop breasts or pubic hair by age 14 may have an increased chance of having amenorrhea.
You can still become pregnant even though you are not menstruating. Practice birth control if you do not wish to become pregnant.

Talk:How to write a Haskell program
How do people feel about
#!/usr/bin/env runhaskell
import Distribution.Simple
main = defaultMain
instead of
#!/usr/bin/env runhaskell
> import Distribution.Simple
> main = defaultMain
dons 07:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)In fact, just this works:
#!/usr/bin/env runhaskell
import Distribution.Simple
main = defaultMain
which is simplest of all
Directory structure
Shouldn't the advise be to let all the source code be collected under src/ and the testing under test/ extra scripts under scripts/ etc.?
I was putting off (and meaning to get around to) cabalising my software until I saw how easy it was on this page. BTW, I kinda like the birdtracks as is -- kowey 09:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Imported to the wikibook
I'm using this tutorial to bootstrap a the Haskell wikibook Packaging chapter. The wikibook version diverges somewhat in that it ignores the Haskell community stuff, and (one day) tries to flow with the rest of the book. -- EricKow 15:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Error message about license field
Just as a heads up, I'm getting this error message after creating a project with mkcabal:
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
Setup.lhs: testing.cabal:4: Parse of field 'license' failed:
Upon inspection, it seems that it doesn't like 'GPL2' or 'GPL3'. I manually changed it to 'GPL', as shown in the wiki page, and it worked. I tested this on ghc 6.6 and ghc 6.6.1. --tanimoto
Perhaps submit a patch to add support for other licenses? dons 09:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, dons, but let me check to see if this is actually due to the fact that I'm using an older version of Cabal. tanimoto
ghci :module
There is a line like this
Prelude> :m + Data.LTree
This didn't work form me since :m isn't specific enough for ghci. There is also a :main command (I guess :main is new). It should be changed to either :mo or :module
"Literate programming"
As a long-time imperative-language programmer new to Haskell, I would like to encourage the use of "literate programming" (writing programs to be read and understood by humans, not just computers) in Haskell. Donald Knuth's arguments for literate programming in imperative languages apply even more strongly to functional languages due to their terseness. Therefore, I suggest that literate programming be encouraged as a best practice along with all the other practices in this excellent article.
My experience so far is that I attempt to skim Haskell code as if it were Python and (of course) I can't do this. While I (as reader) need to slow down, I believe that my skimming approach will be repeated by others coming to Haskell from imperative languages. To me, this points to the benefit of the Haskell programmer using the literate style to inform the reader of the essence of the functions and assist the reader in understanding the code. I believe this will enhance both the understanding of particular programs and the adoption of functional programming languages in general. -- HowardBGolden 07:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Have you ever taken on a tokenistic 'creative' position within a huge multinational corporation, only to be caught out actively using the products of the competition? Me neither.
Alicia Keys, on the other hand, has been snared in such a situation. Only a month after publicly accepting the role of Chief Creative Director for BlackBerry, Keys' Twitter account has been populated by a tweet sent from an iPhone.
Blame it on the boogie
Of course, she says it wasn't her, instead blaming that age-old digital scapegoat: the hackers.
"What the h*ll?!!!! Looks like I've been hacked... I like@Drake but that wasn't my tweet :-(" she posted shortly after the offending missive.
Yes, yes, hackers, we hear you. We may have even been inclined to believe you too, Ms Keys, had you not done exactly the same thing just a month ago, just days before the launch of BlackBerry 10.
The whole thing just seems so sad. BlackBerry, like an ageing billionaire, taking on a younger, attractive partner only to be cuckolded by the same jerk who all the pretty girls flock to. At least this might once and for all prove that celebrity endorsements like this are an embarrassing waste of money.

Thomas Hardy Literary Appreciation
Thomas Hardy's works have a distinct Hardy-esque tone to them which has divided readers and critics alike for centuries. His tone has sometimes been regarded to as droning and dulcet, however, many of his descriptive passages depict the beauty of his surroundings and way of life.
Born on June 2nd 1840, Hardy in Dorchester, a place which heavily influenced his life and works. He was heavily influenced by the Romantic poets, which is clearly visible in his works about the Dorset countryside. His works play heavily on the declining rural society which he was surrounded with, for many they optimise this period of time.
Hardy led a peculiar life, moving from Dorset to London to study architecture. In his life time he wrote seventeen novels and a huge collection of short stories and poetry. His most famous work was perhaps Tess of the Durbervilles, which is still widely read and loved today. The novelist died in January 1928 and whilst his body was buried in Poets Corner, Westminster Abbey, his heart was buried with his first wife, Emma Lavinia Gifford, at Stinsford.
Hardy's Tooting House
Ever since the former residences of the famous and important were first commemorated by The Royal Society of Arts with blue plaques back in 1867, they have spread throughout London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Portsmouth and Southampton. Recognising individuals as diverse as George Orwell and Jimi Hendrix. But what's it like to live in the house where a famous author, politician or' entertainer once lived?
Felicity Hope bought author Thomas Hardy's former Tooting residence three years ago and is in the process of renovating it. "I was looking for somewhere when the estate agent told us that
Thomas Hardy's house was available. Apparently Hardy lived here when he was working as an architect in Tooting, but didn't stay for long because he was so miserable. I'd studied Hardy for A-level so 1 thought I'd go and have a look, and 1 absolutely loved it. I rang the bank and begged and begged for extra money and bought it for about £82,000, and it's now been valued at around £180,000.
"A lot of people are quite interested in it. We're forever getting people taking photographs. "Quite a few times people have rung on the doorbell, asking if we'd ever found one of Hardy's manuscripts here. When we took the carpets up I did find something underneath the floor that looked like a letter. 1 got really excited and spent an hour with a pair of chopsticks trying to get it out, thinking, 'Yes, this is it'. When 1 finally got it out, it was a letter-dated from 1981, which was very disappointing. Also, one of the girls who lived downstairs was convinced she had seen his ghost. She got hysterical one night, when she thought he'd walked through her kitchen."
Even without supernatural visitations, blue plaques do have the potential to increase the value of a property. "They make a house sell, mainly because it gives the property a focal point says Tony Halstead, a residential property consultant. "It helps to create an interest, helps in advertising which makes it easier to sell, and ultimately might result in a slightly better price. "Of course a lot depends on who the blue plaque commemorates as to whether it will increase the price. But were two houses which identical and one had a blue plaque and the didn't I'd certainly buy the one with the blue plaque." Ultimately however it is important to keep in mind that no matter which poet, singer or superstar lived there, the blue plaque is just a bonus.

Every religion has in it some seed of pluralism. Muslims must learn to talk with Judeo-Christians—not just for our own survival, but because the Quran commands this dialogue. In all the religious traditions, dialogue, that interactive connection, is an essential part of the cosmos. Not to be in dialogue is to be in conflict with the very fundamentals of creation.
The crucial question today is not what to do about Islamic fundamentalism, but can Muslims fit into the Western Christian civilizations and still remain, in their souls, Muslim? I say we can, and we must. Islam is at the end of its Dark Ages, but there are those who are afraid of this change—they are the so-called "fundamentalists."
People of the West have no right to be angry at them because of this. Western Christianity has had its reformation and Catholicism its Vatican II. These helped break down the imperialist Christian mindset and opened the Western church to dialogue and respect for other religions. Islam is on the verge of its Reformation.
The fundamentalists are trying to hold on to the past, are frightened of the changes, are trying to prevent the end of the Dark Ages because they fear too much will be lost. And they have some important and very valid points.
Catholic theologian Hans Kung said, "Islam has won critical distance and has the right to criticize the Christian church because, with the French Revolution, Western Christianity accepted the separation of the sacred and the profane, but Islam never accepted this separation."

Does the Bible require Christians to be married in a Christian church?
There are two ways of answering your question. Let me approach it this way:
If you are thinking about a church building, there could be a question about having a wedding in, say, a Kingdom Hall of the Jehovah's Witnesses or the nearest Mormon Temple. Buildings do matter—we can communicate something about where we do things. I performed a wedding once in a beautiful Congregational Church building. The building was beautiful but the church's theology was terrible! But, no, there is no Bible verse which says we must have a wedding in a particular place; we just need to show prudence.
However, going in a different direction, the Bible does speak to the issue of marriage in these ways:
1) Marriage is ordained by God (Gen. 2:24) and therefore if two Christians are getting married they should want it to glorify God and to focus the attention not just on how lovely the bride is or how handsome the groom is, but on the God who alone can bless marriage and the Savior who alone can enable two sinners to say "I do." In this sense the marriage of two Christians is different. I have performed weddings where the bride and groom wanted congregational singing of hymns and we treated the ceremony like a worship service with the preaching of the Word, prayer, a benediction (but no offering although the father of the bride may have wished for one!) It is important that the ceremony be Christ-centered but it can be held in many different places.
2) A key concept to keep before our young people is that it is two Christians, those who have professed their faith in Jesus Christ, who are getting married. In this sense, yes, we get married within the bounds of the church, not the building but within the bounds of the visible church. Here Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 7:39 "only in the Lord" and 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers" set the parameters. Countless Christians have found to their sorrow that it really does matter if you marry a non-Christian or someone who professes faith in Christ only in order to be married. I have had to counsel some of those folks and the problems never disappear unless the unbelieving spouse is converted and frequently the unbeliever will pull the believer away from a vibrant walk in Christ. That is not universally true but is very common. The Old Testament is filled with the examples of those who didn't "get married in the church" or within the covenant community and they are not pretty stories, witness Solomon or Ahab.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Bellator MMA featherweight contender Mike Richman (13-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC) admits he got sloppy in a November TKO loss to Shahbulat Shamhalaev. But if you think that might result in him dialing down the aggression a bit, think again.
"I'm still going to get in the pocket because I like to f—ing destroy people," Richman told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I'm not going to be hesitant. I'm not going to be scared to get clipped. I'll still go in there with guns blazing."
Richman made an immediate splash in Bellator's featherweight division, scoring knockouts of Jeremy Spoon and Chris Horodecki in just 106 seconds combined action. But against Shamhalaev, it was Richman who was clipped in the opening frame.
"I wanted to go out there and get a highlight-reel finish and keep giving it to the fans, and he just capitalized, really," Richman admitted.
Still, his earlier work was enough to earn the 27-year-old Minnesotan a spot in Bellator's Season 8 featherweight tourney, and he meets Mitch Jackson (19-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) on the Spike TV-broadcast main card of tonight's Bellator 88 event.
Jackson is a promotional newcomer, but he also comes from from the Minnesota scene, so the fight is a bit of a grudge match.
"This is actually a fight we've wanted, locally, for about two-to-three years now," Richman said. "The timing was never right – he was always booked to fight someone else, and so was I – but we were always pretty much the No. 1 and No. 2 guys in the Minnesota rankings, or what people thought.
"I'm gonna knock him the f— out and send him back to Savage Entertainment or whatever shitty local promotion he's built his 20-2 record on or been smashing turds in. I mean, this is my house. He's coming to my house. Bellator's my house."
So, yeah, Richman isn't exactly shy about sharing his intentions. In his most recent outing, he wore a Mike Tyson T-shirt to the cage, and he admits the carelessness with which he attacked ultimately cost him the fight.
This time, he's not considering dialing back the aggression. He's just hoping to be more effective in his execution.
"I look at every fight like I'm going into them and finish early – Mike Tyson style," Richman said. "This dude's not even on my level. He's not on the level of the rest of the guys in Bellator either, and I'm going to show that.
"Don't call it a comeback because I'm going to come out there and be just as ferocious, just as nasty. I'm gonna be in the pocket and looking to just destroy everyone in my path. I'm not going to be gunshy and I'm looking to take people's heads off."
For the latest on Bellator 88, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

ref:RPi Project page (Meltwater):
Hi, I really don't mind if you want to restructure the project page.
My initial thought was that there is cross-over between tutorials and guides (as both aim to teach the user something new) as well as between guides and projects (either could be about a particular project or function, it just depends on how it is written up).
Generally, I'm more than happy for anyone to restructure things how they think, we are all working towards improving it, so feel free to evolve it (it was only put in originally as a rough outline of ideas, splitting it may well be a good plan).
