First the good news: Nobody in a Dodgers uniform was injured Sunday.
Now the bad news: Sunday's 4-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants was the Dodgers' third in a row and eighth in 11 games, the team's worst slump in nearly three months. That sliced their National League West lead to its narrowest point in September and, for those who care about such things, it leaves the team's magic number at four.
Only that magic number has nothing to do with the combination of Dodgers victories and Arizona Diamondbacks losses needed to send the Dodgers to the playoffs. In this case, it's the number of starters the team has lost to injury in the last five days.
Outfielders Carl Crawford and Yasiel Puig were the latest to join that list when they were unable to start Sunday because of back and hip injuries, respectively. Also out is Andre Ethier, the third starting outfielder, who has his left ankle in a walking boot, and shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who needed cortisone shots for an irritated nerve in his back.
It's uncertain if any of the four will be able to play Monday when the Dodgers open their final trip of the regular season in Arizona. And without them the team's sprint to the playoffs has slowed to an unsteady hobble.
"We're just trying to get guys back and get healthy," catcher A.J. Ellis said. "And then we'll try to get back to business. We're not in the postseason yet, so we've still got to win games."
That the Dodgers will get to the postseason seems inevitable. Their 101/2-game lead in the division may be the smallest it has been this month, but it's also the largest in in the majors. So with two victories in their four-game series in Arizona, the Dodgers can become the first team to clinch a playoff berth.
It's unlikely the Dodgers will go far in the playoffs with the starting lineup they had Sunday, one that featured an outfield of Jerry Hairston Jr., Skip Schumaker and rookie Nick Buss, who was making his first start.
"We had a bunch of guys out earlier in the year and we had trouble winning games," said Manager Don Mattingly, whose team was last in the division in mid-June, when it had more All-Stars on the disabled list than in the lineup.
"Hopefully, we get a little healthier and get a guy back here, a guy back there. But we can't control that."
And now even some of the players in good health have become cause for concern. Left-hander Paco Rodriguez, solid all season, has struggled in September, giving up more earned runs in seven games then he gave up in the previous 10 weeks.
Sunday he gave up a home run to pinch-hitter Brett Pill leading off the eighth inning. Combined with two earlier home runs from Hunter Pence, who finished the four-game series with five home runs and 12 runs batted in, Pill's shot proved to be the game winner when the Dodgers, who stranded 10 runners, failed to score after loading the bases in the ninth.
Puig, used as a pinch-hitter, made the final out by grounding to shortstop.
"There's ebbs and flows. It's just the way baseball goes," Ellis said. "We're trying to get everybody back on the field healthy.
"We know we have to go and take care of business. We've got to start playing better baseball."

Our Archaeopteryx show has bedazzling fossils – the only Archaeopteryx skeleton in the New World, complete with clear impressions of feathers. Plus frog-mouthed pterodactyls, fast-swimming Sea Crocs, and slinky land lizards. Today we learn the different ways in which wings evoloved on various prehistoric creatures.
Solnhofen show us three ways for Darwinian processes to construct a wing from a normal arm
Dactyls evolved from very close relatives of early dinosaurs. The dinosaurs and their crocodilian kin are archosaurs. Archosaurs developed a unique asymmetry in the hand. Primitive reptiles, like today's lizards, have five fingers, each with a strong claw. In archosaurs the outer two fingers are weak and have no claw at all.
Crocodilians and many dinosaurs kept this arrangement – for example, stegosaurs and Triceratops had five fingers and three claws on the inner fingers. Meat-eating dinosaurs usually evolved three-fingered hands, doing away with those outer two claw-less fingers.
'Dactyls evolved their archosaur hand in a different manner: they lost the pinky (the outermost finger). The claws on the inner three fingers were strong – useful for climbing trees and the sides of cliffs. The fourth finger evolved into an organ we see in no other creature: Finger four became immense, as thick as the thigh or thicker. The finger could be folded back where it joined the wrist for walking on the ground. When flying, the giant finger four was stretched outwards.

Solnhofen fossils showed that the wing surface was attached to the finger four and to the sides of the body and the inner edges of the hind leg. So 'dactyls could flap like a bat – using up and down strokes of both arm and leg to make the power stroke.
Dinosaurs and Birds:
Birds evolved their wing by another wonderfully unique method. Their hand bones were 99% identical to those in small meat-eating dinosaurs. Only the three inner fingers were retained. Darwinian processes had clipped off the pinky and fourth finger. Solnhofen fossils prove that specialized wing feathers were attached to the second finger. So Archaeopteryx flew with the feathered arm.
Raptor-type dinosaurs, like Velociraptor and Microraptor, had evolved feathers very like those of birds. But these small dinosaurs evolved hind-leg wings to assist the arms. Flight feathers were attached to knee and shin as well as to the forelimb. When a tiny raptor-like dinosaur evolved into Archaeopteryx, the feathers were lost from the hind-legs, leaving just the arm to do the work of flying.
Bats are specialized mammals and no bats had evolved in the Jurassic. The first bats appear much later, about 55 million years ago.
Bats use strong skin to make the wing. But unlike 'dactyls, who evolved just one finger to support the wing surface, bats use three or four fingers to spread the wing and control the wing in flight.

No, The Supreme Court Did Not Legalize Downloading
from the wtf? dept
However, to be a credible news source... you have to at least be able to get the basics right. On Monday of this week, we wrote about the Supreme Court's decision to let stand a Second Circuit appeals court ruling, saying that a download did not require extra royalties for also being a public performance. It's basically a licensing dispute over what licenses need to be paid if you're offering downloadable music. Interesting, but not a huge deal.
So I was a bit shocked to see a headline declare that the Supreme Court legalizes downloading music, because that's simply not true. I clicked through... and it's from RTTV, who apparently understood this story so little that almost nothing in the headline or opening sentence is accurate. On the assumption that perhaps they'll change or pull this down, here's a screenshot:
No matter what your position is on copyright law, or this particular case, making totally ridiculous claims, like the Supreme Court legalized downloads, is flat out ridiculous, and suggests not only did someone not understand the case at hand, but didn't even bother to read the most basic information about the case.

On this, it's worth pointing out that the Brahmajala Sutta says:TheDhamma wrote:Robert Bluck writes (above):
"Each of the Buddha's marks is seen imaginatively as relating to spiritual progress, from the 'well-planted feet' which resemble 'the first steps one takes towards the Dhamma' to the 'turban crown' which symbolizes 'insight into the real nature of things: anicca, dukkha, anatta' (Thirty-Two Marks, 1995: 106–7)."
The use of 'imaginatively' and 'symbolizes' seems to imply a metaphorical, symbolic account of the 32 marks.
And yet, of the Buddha's characteristics, they include:...tying the hair into a top-knot... Samana Gotama abstains from such embellishment and adornment. A worldling, bhikkhus, might praise the Tathagata in this manner.
So, did he have a top-knot or not? Based on the described appearance of the Buddha, most statues give him a top-knot. In one sutta (forget which, though), Upali the barber cut his hair, suggesting Gautama wasn't bald.53. His topknot is like a crown.
80. He has a topknot as if crowned with a flower garland.

Somebody really, really wants to get an audience with Apple CEO Tim Cook.
An anonymous bidder paid $610,000 to chat over coffee with Apple's chief executive, according to online-auction site Charity Buzz, which began accepting bids about three weeks ago.
Tuesday's winning bid came only several minutes before the auction closed at 4 pm ET. The auction site had valued the meeting with Cook at $50,000.
Proceeds from the auction will go to The RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights, an international nonprofit founded as a memorial to Robert F. Kennedy by his family and friends.
The auction saw 86 bids, many of them from companies that do business (or want to do business) with Apple.
The coffee chat will happen at Apple's Cupertino, California, headquarters. The winner may bring along one guest. Travel and lodging for the visit, which will last between 30 minutes and an hour, are not covered.
Visitors will be required to sign a nondisclosure agreement and are subject to a security screening. Also, they can't liveblog or tweet during their meeting.
The move fits in with the more open public persona Cook has adopted since replacing late Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs. In the past 18 months Cook has met with members of Congress on Capitol Hill and toured factories in China that make Apple products.
By some measures, a $600,000 coffee meeting with the chief of the world's leading tech company might be a bargain. An anonymous bidder paid $3.4 million last year for lunch with star investor Warren Buffett.

Hello my name is Erwin i was born in early seventy's and that's where my Celica story starts. I don't know my exact age but it must be around 1975,
my uncle bought an amazing sportscar with red lights in the doors! It was a yellow 1972 TA22 flatlight 1600 ST this car is later destroyed when building collapsed due a whirlwind. He bought a Yellow 1974 TA22 1600 ST with a vinyl top on it, and for some reason these are the only cars that i remember quite clearly from my very early years on this planet!
Then in 1986 i've got my first real job at an honda dealership when i was learning to become a mechanic and when one of my new collegues arrived i saw what car he has, a 1977 Celica TA23 1600 ST, in one of the conversations i told him if you ever sell it i wanna buy it!
In 1989 when i was nearly 18 years old he came to me and remembered me of what i said that first day and that he wants to sell it……
I bought it offcourse and stored it for a while because i didn't have i driving licence (driving lessons and examination not possible before 18 years old in the Netherlands)
After a few years driving the Celica have the well known rust problems and when the engine decided to use the 3rd cilinder as an oilpump i bought an 2T-G engine and put it in storage again and bought an RA40 Liftback for the time i can't drive the TA23.
After buying a house and living together with my girlfriend the usual thing happend, the project stranded.
In 2008 after a minor restauration and a respray he's back on the road again with an 2T-B engine because the 2T-G engine i've bought in the early 90's needs a complete overhaul (= a lot off money)
When i've got the chance to buy and TA23 ST with an overhauled 2T-G engine i bought it and drive it for a while to check if the engine was as good as they say and swapped the engines between my good old TA23 and my "new" TA23 and sell it with the 2T-B engine.
Sorry for the long story but a have the Celica now for 27 years and still love it and i hope i can help other celica addicts or get some help from you guys en girls when i need it.
I'll be back with some pics

Spring is still a couple of weeks off, but the weather was positively balmy around here yesterday, and it's supposed to be even nicer today (in spite of the hard science behind rodent forecasts). I'm not going to question it for the moment, as even though it was a very mild winter, the first days of real warmth and sunshine are always uplifting.

Greg Kihn Recruits Steve Miller and Pat Benatar to Celebrate Release of New Compilation
Do you think you Kihn handle this news? '80s rocker Greg Kihn has announced the release of 'Greg Kihn Band: Best of Berserkley, 1974-1985.' The release is actually a victory of sorts for Kihn, who for the past 16-plus years, has been an on-air personality with KFOX-FM 102.1 San Francisco / 98.5 San Jose.
Kihn was one of Beserkley's most popular artists in terms of sales. His 1983 record 'Kihnspiracy' was certified gold for 500,000 units sold, driven by the success of his single 'Jeopardy' which landed in heavy rotation during MTV's earliest days. In 1986 however, Beserkely closed up shop and licensed out their entire catalog.
'Best of Beserkely 1974-1985′ features a total of 21 tracks, 19 of which are remastered versions of original hits such as 'The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em Like That)', 'Happy Man', 'Reunited" and of course, 'Jeopardy'.
Kihn, along with Pat Benatar and the Steve Miller Band will be performing at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California on Saturday, July 14 as a part of the annual KFOX-FM Kinhcert.
In addition to his radio gig, Kihn has written four novels and is currently shopping a television series about the Mafia.
"I wrote the pilot and what they call 'the bible,' which is the plot for the entire season. It's called '45 RPM,'" he told us in December. "I've been down to Hollywood a couple of times, we're meeting with various networks and production companies, there's genuine interest here. So far so good, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed."

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Last week, five members of MIT's swimming and diving team traveled to the University of Minnesota for the 2010 NCAA Division III Championships hosted by Beloit College and the College of Wooster.
After four days of competition, Tech's women finished 14th of 52 teams, their second-best performance at the national meet, marking the first time in two decades that the Cardinal and Gray ranked in the top 15 at the national meet.
Anna Kokensparger led the way for the Engineers, securing All-American recognition in all three of her individual events. The freshman entered the meet on Wednesday with the nation's fastest time in the 200 IM and lowered her personal best in the preliminaries (2:04.82), qualifying second. Despite bettering her time and setting a new Institute record with her time in the finals (2:03.23), Kokensparger had to settle for second place behind Logan Todhunter of Williams (2:02.57).
For Kokensparger's other races, seven became her magic number. On Thursday, she had the seventh-fastest swim in the preliminaries of the 100 Fly before advancing to finish seventh in the finals (56.37). Then on Friday, her MIT-best swim in the 200 Fly (2:03.79) was good enough to qualify seventh for the championship final, where her time of 2:04.63 earned her seventh in the event.
In the relays, three more Institute records were broken. Kokensparger teamed with junior Amy Jacobi and freshmen Elina Hu and Nicole Wang to swim to a 14th-place finish in the 200 Medley Relay (1:47.18). The same foursome placed 10th the next day in the 200 Free Relay (1:35.09). Kokensparger, Hu, Jacobi and sophomore Sydney Giblin swam in the 400 Medley (3:53.90), finishing 10th and bettering the previous MIT-record by nearly five seconds.
Jacobi also swam well in her individual events, missing the qualifying cutoff in the 50 Free by .02 second to finish 17th (23.94). She also took 26 in the 100 Free (52.44) and 33rd in the 100 Fly (58.12).
The end of the week was tough for the MIT women, who were disqualified in the 800 Free Relay and withdrew from the 400 Free Relay.
MIT's 75 points were sufficient to tie for 14th-place overall, the second-best finish in program history, bettered only by the team's 11th-place finish at the 1990 championship.

Batter Up! 5 Great Batter Dispensers
Pancakes and cupcakes are a huge part of the diet in my household, particularly on the weekends, when I have extra time to cook. One way to my fiance's heart is through his stomach and to get there, it takes a perfect pancake and a delicious cupcake. To save time and ensure each looks just as perfect as the next, I've been entertaining the idea of a batter dispenser. These handy tools can be used to dispense batter for pancakes, cupcakes, crepes, waffles, and more — and they don't cost an arm and a leg either!
• Batter Dispenser, $29.95 at Williams-Sonoma: Easy to load and even easier to dispense, this batter dispenser also has the ability to accomodate small berries, chocolate chips or other small additions to delicious treats.
• Kuchenprofi Stainless Steel Batter Dispenser, $24.00 at Amazon: Made from stainless steel, this Kuchenprofi dispenser is larger than the previous but also has a stand on the bottom so it can be placed above the area the batter needs to be dispensed on. The stand also provides an area between the counter and the spout to make for easy cleanup.
• Batter Squeezer, $9.95 at Sur la Table: This is the simplest shape in terms of batter dispensing and reminds me a lot of the Pyrex container my mother used to use to shake up and pour batter. This is definitely an all in one container and could easily be used for many more tasks.
• Jobar Handy Gourmet Batter Dispenser, $12.99 at Target: Shaped much like the Kuchenprofi dispenser and slightly better priced, this Jobar dispenser is chic and really easy to use. Pour the batter in the top and easily squeeze the handle to release the batter.
• Batter Dispenser, $16.95 at Kitchen Krafts: Working much like the two stainless steel versions, except this is made of acrylic. Holds up to 4 cups of batter and has a locking lid to store left over batter in the dispenser, so there's no need to dirty another dish.
What do you think? Is a batter dispenser worth it? Do you use one? Tell me if I should take the plunge and pick one up!

Tierra del Fuego
Tierra del Fuego [1] is an archipelago off the south of South America, separated from the mainland by the Magellan Strait.
The 73,753 km² archipelago was divided between Argentina and Chile in 1881. The eastern part belongs to Argentina (the Territory of Tierra del Fuego) and its main towns are Rio Grande and Ushuaia. The western part belongs to Chile (Magallanes province) and its main towns are Porvenir and Puerto Williams. Cape Horn is at the southernmost part of the archipelago, in Chilean land.
The five medium sized islands and numerous small islands, islets and rocks include:
Other destinations[edit]
"Tierra del Fuego" (Spanish: "Land of Fire") got its name from Ferdinand Magellan who, on passing the archipelago in 1520, spotted a number of fires burning along the coastline. These fires may have been made by the archipelago's aboriginal inhabitants: the Ona, Alakaluf and Yahgan (commonly called Yamana). Four aboriginals were taken from Tierra del Fuego in 1830 by Robert Fitzroy, and were sailed to Britain to meet the King. The three survivors later returned to Tierra del Fuego on the Beagle, with Charles Darwin, who believed the native Fuegans to be "the missing link".
The arrival of missionaries, introduction of sheep farming and the discovery of gold in the 1880s led to European, Argentine, and Chilean immigrants, which gradually killed off the native Fuegans. An excellent book on the history of the Yamana and their demise is The Uttermost Part of the Earth by E. Lucas Bridges, the son of one of the early missionaries. His father, Thomas Bridges, documented what he could of the Yamana language and found that it had a larger vocabulary than the English language.
Today, the economy is based on petroleum, tourism, textiles, electronics and, to a decreasing degree, sheep-farming.
The western parts of the archipelago form the southernmost tip of the Andes range. The eastern parts are an extension of the Patagonian plateau. Based in the south of Patagonia, the climate is cold but warmer than many assume; in winter, the average temperature is -2 Celsius (28 Fahrenheit). In summer, it can climb to 30 Celsius (86 Fahrenheit), although in reality it rarely rises far beyond 10 Celsius (50 Fahrenheit). There are frequent high winds and much rainfall, especially in the coastal areas.
Get in[edit]
There are regular Aerolineas Argentinas flights from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia and Rio Grande. Air services also link major settlements to Punta Arenas in Chile. Buses from all over Argentina enter Tierra del Fuego via Rio Gallegos. NB Buses running from Rio Gallegos to Ushuaia all pass through Chilean land, so include two border crossings. A regular ship, the ferry Melinka, links Porvenir and Punta Arenas, and naval vessels supply Ushuaia and Isla Navarino, Chile.
Ferry at the narrowest part of the Strait of Magellan connects Tierra del Fuego to the mainland Chile at Primera Angostura (between Punta Delgada and Cerro Sombrero) many times from 08:30 A.M. (Continent) to 11:00 P.M. (Island) every day. Crossing Time approx. 20 minutes. Crossing Service at Primera Angostura
Get around[edit]
Roads are poor in Tierra del Fuego, except for the route 257 among the north and central part of the island in chilean side (this route join Bahía Azul in [Chile] and San Sebastián in [Argentina]), apart from the tourist tour train, there are no railways. There is a ferry to cross from Punta Arenas to Porvenir in Chile and another one to cross the narrowest part of the Magellans strait between Lighthouse Punta Delgada and Bahía Azul. There is little public transport. However, tours / transport can be booked through the Tourist Office (on San Martin, Ushuaia) or through many of the hostels. Taxis are another option, costing, for example, Ar$30-50 to get from the city centre to either the airport or Glaciar Martial. There are also several car / bicycle hire companies in Ushuaia.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Buy[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
A regional specialty is King Crab, called centolla in Spanish, and seafood is usually excellent. Otherwise, local cuIsPartOfe follows the tendencies of Chile and Argentina in general. Fruit and vegetables have to be transported from thousands of miles away and, as such, are rarely tasty.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Ushuaia has several bars and one nightclub.
Stay safe[edit]
Crime rates on Tierra del Fuego are very low. If hiking or trekking, it is important to take warm, waterproof gear.
Get out[edit]
Flights can be booked from the Aerolineas office in Ushuaia. Buses to Buenos Aires and other destinations (apart from Puerto Natales) all stop at Rio Gallegos. It can be cheaper to just buy a ticket to Rio Gallegos and purchase an onward ticket from there.

Sherill is beginning to think that I have a life more suited to a reality show than the Kardashians. For instance, did you do anything interesting last month? I dug a grave and buried a guy.
Want to fold now?
It all started a couple of weeks before with a phone call. The Chairman's younger brother, Paul, died in Rockford, IL. He was five years younger than The Chairman and they always called him Nip.
Uncle Nip was a flight crew scheduler for United. He had to keep tabs on where he had flight crews, which ones were nearing their limit for hours traveled, and which ones could be dropped into a flight scenario if plans changed because of weather or mechanical issues. Uncle Nip had to figure out exactly how much fuel to put in the plane to get there efficiently and within weight and time limits while still allowing for some fuel to spare in case they had to circle the airport before landing. Every time he'd get in a tractor cab, Uncle Nip checked the gauges. He checked them a lot.
Uncle Nip was cremated in Illinois, with no funeral. Seeing as how he still had family and a lot of friends back home in Iowa, the plan was to have him buried at Plymouth Rock. That would be St. Agnes Church between metropolitan Kendallville and Burr Oak, Iowa. It's just a mile or two down the road from where he and most of his family grew up.
The elder surviving family members got together and planned a funeral. The funeral home in Illinois would send Uncle Nip's ashes to Iowa and we could take it from there. A package showed up via registered mail a couple of days later. Dead guys can't be shipped UPS or FedEx.
Then came the interesting part. The Chairman told me that we needed to get a spade and go up to Plymouth Rock. Had to dig a grave.
REALLY?! Us? Isn't there a funeral director involved here who gets that handled FOR the grieving family? Oh, wait, yes there is. It's THAT ONE. Let's just say he is sort of a minimalist kinda guy. He was low-input before low-input was cool.
So, no big deal. Grab a shovel, hit the road and do some ditch digging on a small scale. Keep it interesting, though. The dirt had to be collected. We weren't one of those fancy funeral outfits with the AstroTurf and tarp to park the dirt next to the grave. We're Iowa farmers. We grabbed some five-gallon feed pails. This was only a cremation burial, so we didn't have to dig a casket-sized grave. Still, the rules were that we had to dig a hole 36 inches deep. Stack two pails on top of each other and you have 36 inches with room to spare. Just to be on the safe side, we took four pails.
We got to the cemetery and went over to the family plot. It's a beautiful location, but the scenery comes at a cost. Quality real estate is all about location, location, location. The founding church elders sold plots in blocks of eight. Between deceased parents and children, this particular group of Ryans is getting close to the limit. Some orange flags were placed where we were to dig the grave. It sat right in the shade of a lovely maple tree. Location, location, location comes with roots, roots, roots! Combined with an ongoing drought, we had to dig through three feet of dry dirt and a very firm foundation for a big tree. But we eventually got it done. A slab of wood and a mat were placed over the hole until the burial later in the week.
With our excavation work completed, we carried our four pails of dirt back to the truck. The plan was to discreetly bring the dirt back with us at the burial and sort of linger until the crowd had dispersed. We (I?) would then put the dirt back in the hole, add some water to get it to settle, and neatly return the area to a uniform state. Nip would have loved our organizational work, especially the under-the-radar part.
The funeral was held at the Catholic church in Cresco. About a hundred people attended the service and then met for lunch and fellowship downstairs afterwards. About half of the crowd then proceeded to go to their cars for the roughly 23-minute, 13-mile trip to the cemetery. Sherill and I got in our car and headed out. Since there was no body to take, there was no hearse and no clear line of funeral procession vehicles. It was more of a starting point, an end point and a group of people who needed to get from one to the other on the same schedule. This was classic airline work. Nip would have run some numbers and given us some time and distance targets to meet.
Sherill and I got to the cemetery ahead of the main crowd. We started to walk around and look at some of the oldest Ryan graves when my phone rang. It was my mother.
"Do you have the ashes?" she inquired.
WHAT?! No, I have the dirt. I'm the dirt guy. Nobody said anything about me being the ashes guy. I'm the dirt guy. Just dirt and a shovel. No remains. Seems like a funeral director would handle that.
Well, it turns out the funeral director felt the family should be in charge of the care and transport of the decedent.
The frantic call came in moments before the crowd pulled into the cemetery grounds. Sherill and I proceeded to go to the far end of the place where we had parked and met the lead car, which happened to be driven by The Chairman. On our way, we stopped by to ask the funeral director's assistant if he had the ashes. He did not have the ashes. He was pretty sure The Chairman did. I was pretty sure The Chairman didn't.
A brief discussion followed. I decided Sherill and I would go back to the church in Cresco and see if we could find the goods. Yeah, I could have done it on my own, but I figured I'd have Sherill along for the ride just to keep me halfway reasonable on the road. Plus, it never hurts to have a corroborating witness.
The path from Plymouth Rock to Cresco is a cab driver's dream. It's a driver's ed instructor's nightmare. Neither of those two groups frequently sport the power, efficiency and handling of the Buick Park Avenue Ultra. I ran my high school driver's ed class through my head as we made our way down the blacktop (see "The educational route with Rip Van Winkle"). Mr. Pierce would have approved. No power slides, no skid marks, no tire squealing. Okay, minimal on all of those, but it was REALLY minimal. Hardly worthy of a point deduction on the final. One construction outfit was taking a lot of gravel out of the quarry in Kendallville, so we encountered a lot of truck traffic. A lot of truck traffic. I got a lot of practice with my passing maneuvers. Sherill got a lot of practice gasping.
Sherill stayed in the car when we got to the church so that I could leave it running. Of course, this is Cresco, so I could leave it running during the service and it'd still be there afterwards, probably with food added. I went inside, took the stairs a few at a time and promptly went to the altar where I found the box of ashes sitting exactly where it sat during the service.
I got back in the Buick and hit the road for Plymouth Rock. Numbers were running through my head the whole time. One dead guy and two live ones in the car. Thirteen miles to cover. Six hundred curves and hills. Fifty or so people waiting at the cemetery. Slim odds that they'd decide to go ahead without us.
As I approached the intersection east of Cresco, Sherill's knuckles got whiter and whiter with each passing maneuver I made.
It wasn't easy to remain somber as I pulled up to the cemetery and saw the assembled mourners, who looked quite surprised to see us so soon. I took the box of ashes over to the grave and handed them over. They were quickly handed back to me. Turns out I was the only one with knees good enough to bend down that low, and arms long enough to reach the bottom of the grave to gently position Uncle Nip in his final resting place without a resounding thud.
Mapquest says it's about 13 miles between Plymouth Rock and Notre Dame Parish. Travel time is 23 minutes each way. One of my relatives walked over after the service and said, "You're a lifesaver, Jeff. I checked my watch. You made it round-trip in 22 minutes! How'd you do that?"
Simple math and physics. The mission was clear. We made good time and still came in under budget with fuel to spare. Uncle Nip would have been proud.

You know the sad part? The BT's are linking to this, outraged at the photo. Get a life people, it's an expression. Everyone knows the Con candidates are trained seals, irrespective of sex. Too funny.

Sexism? Good grief. I've never seen a group so adept at making something appear out of thin air.
You've got to hand it to them. They truly have perfected faux outrage.

Well, the BTs are consistant I will give them that.
They cannot really present a viable argument against what you have said in your post so they just attempt to deflect.

At least all Conservatives read from the same page. Not like the Liberals and the Green Shaft plan. Some say they don't know if it will cut emissions and by how much (Findlay) Others say Nova Scotians and British Columbinas will not have a side deal (Dion said so and Brisson and Campbell said yes)
Who is correct? How much are we going to pay extra over and above the revenue neutrality? How much is this going to reduce emissions?
Please please have a Liberal representative talk to all MP's so we can finally find out the real truth.

What about Baird and Harper and Loan. BC carbon tax good, Dion's bad? Very, very confusing.

I would also add that dialogue through disagreement sometimes leads to a more efficient solution acceptable to both parties. The greatest democratic leaders in history have indeed surrounded themselves by people who think differently. Reading Goodwin's biography of Lincoln, Team of Rivals, made that point clear.
But if you want consensus without argument just surround yourself by a bunch of yes men (or women as the case may be). We saw how well that worked in the US the past 7.5 years.
I think Steve V pretty much summed up that thought in a single photo.

Oh, ha, ha.
The by-election is hardly out of the starting gate and who is first with the attack ad's ?.
The title of the post is also clever. You can't come right out and call Ms. Kovach a dog. Admit it, you'd LOVE to, but it's not PC, so you create a post like this, calling her one in an oblique sort of way.

Hello everyone,
for school i have to make a function that hangs pumpkins (= lampion in the code) on a horizontal line
we already have a few functions in place :
(define (lampion r l)
(vc-append (filled-rectangle 2 l) (pumpkin r))) which makes a pumpkin on a vertical line
(define (rijg-aan-draad lampionnetjes) which hangs all the pumpkins on a tread, in this function "lampionnetjes" = a collection of pumpkins
(vc-append (filled-rectangle (pict-width lampionnetjes) 2)
these are the programs i made , i had to make it a few different ways and i am only having trouble with the last way
the first way wa through regular recursion
(define (slinger-simpel n r)
(define (lampionnetjes k)
(if (= k 1)
(lampion r 10)
(ht-append (lampion r 10)
(lampionnetjes (- k 1)))))
(rijg-aan-draad (lampionnetjes n)))
the second way was through iteration
where the "acc" was used as a blanco sheet to put the pumpkins on
now i have to do it again, but now i have to use the "do" function. I am really having trouble with this.
I know the body of a do funtion, where you first say which parameters and what they have to do evertyime.
And then you write how the program stops and at last you write the body's u need. This is the code i already got
(define (slinger4 n r l acc)
(do ((aantal n (- aantal 1))
(lengte-koord 1 (+ lengte-koord 1)))
((= aantal 0))
(ht-append (lampion r lengte-koord)
for your simplicity i will translate into english (its dutch)
(define (handle4 n r l acc)
(do ((amount n (- amount 1))
(length-string 1 (+ length-string 1)))
((= amount 0))
(ht-append (pumpkin r length-string)))
so i have
n = the amount of pumpkins
r = width pumpkins
l = length of the string connecting the pumpkins to the horizontal line
acc = the blanco list where all the pumpkins need to go
so to summarize my problem, i know how to use recursion and iteration, but i dont know how to impement a do function into this.
Many thanks for your help
i would upload a picture of how the function looks like, but i dont know how to do this :s

I've been in Phoenix, Arizona for almost a week. Although I've been here a number of times before, this is the first visit in which I've met up with the Jewish community.
Since I've been there before, I do know that there are some kosher restaurants, which not every Jewish community has. That's an indication of numbers and also of Jewish tourism.
I have friends who have lived in the Phoenix area, which includes Scottsdale and Tempe, and from them I've learned that there are a number of synagogues and the usual controversies and "feuds."
Considering that my Phoenix friends are very connected to Israel, mostly living in Israel, I was surprised by how many people I met on Shabbat who have never been there. The reasons are mainly financial. Just to remind you, not all American Jews are wealthy. I was in the Young Israel of phoenix, which is a very warm and welcoming community.
I had been asked to speak to the women's class on Shabbat. Since Shabbat was TU B'Shavat, the 35th anniversary of the return of Jews to Shiloh. Shiloh, where I live, is now a nice sized active and warm community. It's located in the same spot where biblical Shiloh was. Barely a mile from my house is the location where the Biblical Tabernacle was located for 369 years.
Since I traveled the day after Israeli elections, I'm not all that up to date with the news in Israel and was concerned that people would want information I couldn't give. But besides my host, who has an excellent knowledge of what's happening in Israel, most people I met weren't really interested.
In Israel, many of us mistakenly think that world Jewry and international politicians have nothing else on their minds but what's happening in Israel. The truth is the opposite, and if Israeli politicians, media, etc, would stop trying to please "the world," then we'd be totally ignored. There would be lots less pressure on Israel. Just like any other bully situation, the best defense is using strength against them. All we have to do is tell all the international diplomats to mind their own business and we must stick to that line. Don't discuss the issues at all.

Locked Out on Second Day's Competition
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Yale women's fencing team finished up the Feb. 11-12 Ivy League Championship in fifth place, after a difficult second day of competition in Coxe Cage that saw the team go 2-4 in overall competition.
With a 2-1 record after Saturday's competition — including wins against Brown and Cornell, and a loss to Harvard — the Bulldogs were well positioned going into Sunday.
Sunday morning's competition kicked off with a round against Princeton. Yale fell to the Tigers 25-2, a result that included 8-1 losses in sabre and foil and a clean sweep in epee.
Then, against Penn, the Bulldogs found similar difficulty, ending with a 20-7 loss. That included a 7-2 verdict against them in foil and sabre, as well as a 6-3 result against them in epee.
Those tough results continued against Columbia after the lunch break, as the Bulldogs lost 22-5.
Overall, Yale's 2-4 record put the team in fifth place on the leaderboard, ahead of Brown and Cornell. Up the top of the leaderboard was Princeton, with a 6-0 record, and Columbia, which finished at 5-1.
The Bulldogs will next travel to NYU for the United States Collegiate Squad Championships on Feb. 26.
Report filed by James Lu '14, Yale Sports Publicity.

A Guide to Winter Harvest Crops & Overwintering for Spring Harvest
Here at Johnny's Research Farm in Albion, Maine, the Persephone Period begins on November 5th or 6th.
When temperatures and day length drop, your harvest season need not come to a full stop. As more growers construct high tunnels on their farms and participate in winter markets, we are frequently asked, "What can I plant to harvest in winter, and when should I plant it?"
To begin, it is helpful to distinguish between the two main winter growing strategies. The first group you harvest in winter, the second group you leave in place over the winter to produce an early spring crop.
- Winter Harvest Crops are planted in late summer or early fall, primarily in high tunnels, for harvest throughout the winter.
- Overwintered Crops are planted in the fall or winter, often outside in the field or under low tunnels, and left in place for the earliest possible spring harvest.
There is plenty of flexibility and overlap in the methods employed, including a combination of both strategies together.
Producing marketable crops in winter requires learning the correct planting window times for your location. Use the following guidelines while adjusting the techniques and timing to fit your practice. Remember to keep records, to determine what works best and improve upon your successes.
Ten hours of day light
The key to scheduling your plantings is to identify when your winter days reach less than 10 hours in length. It is during this darkest time of the year — referred to by Eliot Coleman as the "Persephone period" — that plant growth essentially stops. (You can obtain exact dates for your location using an app or website such as Rise or SunriseSunset .)
The goal is to seed your plants so they are at least 75% mature by the time the Persephone period begins.
Though plants may not grow appreciably thereafter, they can be harvested as needed while their maturity holds.
Careful scheduling allows you to control growth incrementally by planting at least two or three sowings at 7- to 10-day intervals. This will allow for crops to mature at different times and provide a longer harvest period. With well-timed, staggered plantings you can create a smooth transition from one harvest to the next for a steady supply through the winter. Multiple seedings also help you identify the best seeding dates for specific crops, and spread out the risk of crop failure due to unfavorable weather conditions.
Two neat tricks to get plants ready for the darkest days in high or low tunnels
- Transplant crops like spinach that are normally direct-seeded. Start the plants elsewhere and grow them to transplant size before planting them in your high tunnel, after your summer-producing crops have been removed.
- Establish hardy crops outside in late summer, then place a moveable tunnel over them, or construct a caterpillar tunnel over the crop as winter threatens.
Squeeze in even one more crop
In late winter, before you have harvested your winter crops, anticipate open bed space and what could be planted once the bed is available. As the end of the Persephone period draws near, you can reseed or transplant the openings. These winter sowings will be ready for harvest by early spring, often long before the same crop when grown outside.

The library is not often the haunt of young ladies, but seems that the rainy weather has driven at least one inside and out of the rain. The gray clad Irena Marbrand sits on the edge of her chair a large book open on the table before her. There is also a way tablet, that she occasionally marks with notes. The normal residents of the library, maesters and other learned folk, pass the young lady without comment, suggesting her presence there is not exactly unexpected. In a chair nearby sits an older Septa, who appears to be fighting a loosing battle against sleep.
Sarya enters looking around with wide eyed wonderment, her huge sapphire eyes taking in everything. With her is her septa, as well as a few guards. The men take up positions close to the door, the young Baratheon looks to the septa a little exasperated and the woman goes to have a few words with the two men. Shaking her head the girl goes to a window and looks out at the rain smiling softly at it.
Irena is not so engrossed in her work as to not notice such a large party entering. She stands and offers a polite curtsy, before returning to her seat. At attempt to go back to her studies to marred though, but the curious looks the group and the young lady with them get.
Sarya blinks when the older girl rises, her eyes startled for just a second before she corrects herself. Smiling brightly the younger woman goes over to the girl and says, "Please forgive me I didn't see you here… I was more worried about the guards." She looks back over her shoulder to watch her septa shoo out the men. Sarya's voice even in it's whispered state is in a sing song fashion, "I am Sarya Baratheon, of Storm's End. Forgive the intrusion."
Irena stands once again, proving herself to nearly the same height as the younger girl. A friendly smile on her face as she says politely, "I am Irena Marbrand, of Ashemark." Neither name nor keep are likely to be known outside of the Westerlands, for Marbrand is a minor house. She continues noting, "And your presence here is hardly an intrusion, at least not anymore than my own."
A sleepy blink from the septa, and a moment of startlement that she quickly attempts to cover betray that the conversation has awoken the sleeping woman.
Sarya beams a smile at the older girl and says, "A pleasure to meet you then Irena Marbrand, of Ashemark." She gets a thoughtful look on her face and says, "You should tell me all about Ashemark when you have the chance. If you would please, I do so like stories of far away places." Ok so she rarely gets out of the Stormlands, the young girl is here to learn about new things and meet new people, might as well start here. Brilliant blue eyes turn to Irena's septa and the young girl brings a hand to her face attempting to hide a smile.
Irena manages to hide her amusement at her Septs waking well, although she can't quiet keep it from dancing in her eyes. "I would be happy to tell you of it, although I fear it is not all that interesting of a place. It's up in the mountains you see, and fairly isolated, for all that it is in the Westerlands."
Nodding her head as she listened Sarya moves to take a seat but then stops, and looks up to the older girl in askance, "Might I join you here?" The younger girl has the grace to blush a little at her rudeness and says, "In the mountains you say, Oh I'm sure it's quite lovely there!"
"Of course you may," is Irena's somewhat amused reply as she returns to her seat. She then adds, in reference to Ashemark, "Oh, it is very beautiful. We are not quiet as high as parts of the Vale, but really there are spots where on a clear day it seems like you can see forever. Not to mention that we are near the source of the Tumblestone, which can be very pretty, if a bit treacherous."
Sarya takes her seat, tucking her skirts under her so that they can be smoothed and arranged just right. Keeping her back straight and her head up she folds her hands in her lap and looks to the other woman in rapt attention. Sarya's septa beams a bright smile and then goes to find a book to read in a quite corner, or rather a book to hide her face so the old woman can doze. "Oh that sounds just lovely, I would like to see that some time. Perhaps when I move to Riverrun, I can go and visit!"
"Oh, you are betrothed to a Tully then? If you are to move to Riverrun?" Irena then adds, "The trip from Riverrun is actually not all that bad as such things go. I would be happy to have you." From the friendly tone of her voice and smile it seems she honestly seems to mean it.
Sarya beams a bright smile and nods her head rapidly the long raven curls bouncing with the motions, "Oh yes yes" She says proudly, "I'm betrothed to Ser Brynden Tully…" The last words are said almost as a sigh. "I've come here to meet him but my Lady Aunt Elanna says she doesn't think he is here yet.." A quick glance is given to the spetas and then back to Irena, "But first I must become a woman."
Irena nods before admitting, "I met two of his sisters last night, but I have not yet met him. It definitely is possible that he has not arrived yet, as I am sure Lady Elanna would have some idea if he had." Her eyes widen a little before comments, "But when he does arrive, that will be the first time you meet him?"
Sarya takes a deep breath and nod her head, "Oh yes, I've yet to meet him or any of his family so…" She purses her lips together, but if one is closely looking the girl is all but bursting at the seems with excitement. "Oh I do so hope he's tall and handsome, you know the Knights the singers sing songs about."
Irena laughs quietly before saying joking, "Well, it seems that all the knights I have met are tall, but I am a bit biased about things such as height." She adds after a moment, "Although, I have not heard anything bad about him, and his sisters were very nice, which speaks well for him."
Sarya is about to open her mouth to say something when her septa clears her throat and Sarya looks over to her, "Pardon me m'Lady, but it's time to get home, you don't want to get caught up in the rain." Taking a deep breath Sarya nods and then looks back to Irena, "It was wonderful meeting you, I hope you will one day come to the manse for sup, or even just for tea." Standing she inclines her head politely and then turns to her septa, before sweeping out of the room but not before giving Irena a large smile.
Irena returns the smile and curtsies politely to Sarya as she departs. "I would be happy to visit." She adds to the other girl as she leaves, "I hope the rain holds up long enough for you to return home."

It's Thanksgiving week and we're gonna show you what's on the menu to beat the stuffing out of those Bengals, Ravens, and yes, those hated Steelers!
It's meal time with the Cleveland Browns!
This Thanksgiving week 19 Action News gets unprecedented access to the inner workings of your hometown team.
Phil Taylor tips the scale at 355. Jordan Norwood, maybe 180. Once they hit the training table, everything's equal.
Patrick Dunn is the Executive Chef for the Browns. It's his job to feed 60 NFL players, 6 days a week, all day.
"We'll go through 400 lbs of meat, 400 lbs of chicken, 200 lbs of fish, per week...bacon, that's 120 lbs...that's probably the biggest no-no, but...that's for breakfast," said Dunn.
Therein lies the challenge. Keeping it healthy, but keeping it interesting and keeping these coolers stocked.
The fact is, these players are great at policing themselves. They may eat a lot.
"For most people, 6-8 ounces...for them, 16 ounces, plus all the vegetables," said Dunn.
But they eat healthy.
"Oh yeah. Very healthy. What their body needs," said Dunn.
Trent may love Subway, but on game day, there's only one meal he'll eat.
"Mine is eggs, potatoes and steak...that's the fuel that keeps the machine known as T-Rich going?....yeah...Nick Saban taught it to me at Alabama, and ever since then, I've been eating the same meal," said Richardson.
And, occasionally they'll sneak in a few manly treats on the side.
They sneak in brats, sausage, kind of like the guys in the muni lot, without the beer.

Filter Accessories
An efficient filter is necessary for a well-maintained pool and healthy water; keep your filter working at its optimal performance with our superior accessories and items for the filter. We carry all kinds of Filter Media, Cartridges and Grids, Filter Cleaners, Filter Hoses & Clamps, Cleaning Wands, and Backwash Hoses.
Your filter is one of the most important components of a well maintained, clean pool. Pool filters operate by pumping your swimming pool's water through some kind of media like sand, cartridge, or D.E powder to trap particulates and then return clean water to your pool. This process is repeated several times a day in order to completely remove dirt and debris. It is inevitable that dust, leaves, insects, and other kind of debris will make their way into your pool, resulting in cloudy water and ideal conditions for an algae outbreak. Pool filters must periodically be cleaned or debris will clog up the filter and reduce its efficiency.
At Pool Center we know how important it is for pool owners to maintain the efficiency of their filter and enjoy sparkling clean water, therefore we offer top-of-the line filter accessories to help keep your filter performing at its best at all times. You may use a liquid or granular filter cleaner to remove any dirt and debris that has accumulated on your filter cartridge and a filter wand for the more stubborn debris that decides to cling to your cartridge and does not wash off easily.
You will also have to replace your filter media occasionally for proper operation of your filter. Filter media depends on the kind of filter you own, and consist of sand, D.E. powder, and cartridges; dirty pool water passes through this media and it traps the dirt and debris to return clean water to your pool. It is extremely important to have a clean media in order for the filter to perform its job efficiently.
Choose from a wide range of Filter Media, Replacement cartridges and Grids, Filter Cleaners, Filter Hoses and Clamps, Cleaning Wands, and Backwash Hoses that we carry in our Pool Store so you can extend your filter's life and keep it working efficiently for years.

by Punchy » Sat Mar 22, 2014 12:50 pmAfter being away for far too long, American Vampire is finally back and thankfully, Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque don't appear to have missed a beat. If you've read Snyder's DC superhero work but never tried American Vampire, this is your chance to jump on, as Snyder makes sure to keep this issue perfectly accessible for new readers.
After a brief, creepy prologue showing a group of Native Americans attacked and killed by a mysterious force in 1811, the story then moves to 1965, and we catch up with Pearl Jones and Skinner Sweet and see what they've been up to in between now and the last arc, which was set in the 1950s. After the death of her husband, Pearl has moved back home to the family farm in Kansas, pretending to be her own daughter 'Henrietta' and using the farm to protect waifs and strays. We see Pearl save a young black girl from a lynching, and it's clear that we're supposed to see the mob's hatred for the child as a race thing, but we later find out that this girl, like all of Pearl's other wards, is a Vampire, so that's more likely the real reason. It's interesting to see Snyder move forward in time like this, to an era when Civil Rights were really getting into full swing. Will we see a march for Vampire acceptance? Pearl seems to be running some kind of underground railroad here, it's just fun to see Snyder parallel real history with his horror story.
As for Skinner Sweet, he's now an Easy Rider style Biker criminal known as 'Sugar Man', riding his bike across the Texas/Mexico border and getting into trouble. We see him take down a rival crew in a truck singlehandedly, and he then returns to his hideout, which is the same one he's been using since the Wild West days, a train car that's been buried underground. Hey, a literal underground railroad. Skinner talks to a long-dead skeleton, and fills any new readers in on his back-story (Pearl does the same earlier in the issue), because as I said, Snyder is making an effort here to make newbies welcome. Skinner has basically tired of trying to be good and fight alongside Pearl, and has now just gone back to a life of crime.
After setting up our character's new status quos, Snyder gets the plot started right at the end. May, Pearl's new ward comes to her and shows the massive bite on her back that made her a Vampire. She says it doesn't come from a documented kind of Vampire, but one from before… 'The Gray Trader'. This is presumably the same guy we saw at the start of the issue slaughter those Native Americans, and we get confirmation of that a few pages later when he sets Skinner up. Expecting to just be stopping a shipment, Skinner comes across a school bus full of children, who are then grabbed by strange ghostly figures, as is the bus itself. We see a brief glimpse of who I assume to be the 'Gray Trader', and man, he looks all kinds of creepy.
This was a strong return for this book, Albuquerque's art was excellent as ever, very atmospheric and scary. It's just brilliant to have this book back, and I can't wait to see what the Gray Trader's deal is, and also to see what the other characters who have yet to return are like in the 60s. Snyder created a massive, intriguing world in the first volume, there's so much more to explore.
by guitarsmashley » Sat Mar 22, 2014 4:51 pmThis comic is amazing. I actually got scared when the kids all had fangs....Fucking Comic is the Best!
by Strict31 » Sun Mar 23, 2014 7:55 pmI love American Vampire. It lets me know that all is right with the world of vampires.
by Pizza Dog » Sun Mar 23, 2014 8:00 pmI love this Comic. Can't wait to meet Scott Snyder in November.
by AngusH » Mon Mar 24, 2014 9:06 pmOnly American Vampire I've read prior to this is the Anthology from last year. I liked it OK - I kinda wish the summary at the end of the issue had been at the beginning. It's got me intrigued enough to pick up TPBs of the initial run.

It's barely been a month since Charlie Sheen's face adorned the outer wall of Warner Bros. studios -- but today, Ashton Kutcher has finally entered the picture ... with significantly less clothing.
The generic billboard -- which replaced Charlie's old one in June -- went down an hour ago ... and in its place ... a brand new poster with the entire new cast.
Charlie who?

I've always wanted a tool that can automatically suspend my system automatically once all the jobs (mencoder scripts, updatedb, etc.) are finished. Then I could start tasks, leave my system alone and trust that it would take care of going into standby itself. Most software only checks for keyboard and X input, which exactly doesn't help for my scenario. But now there's "powernap".
It's included in normal Ubuntu repositories and in its default configuration it suspends your system if no activity is detected for 5 minutes. What's still confusing me is that it by default checks for activity of initd. This does not seem to make much sense and I think a long list of typical software would be a much better alternative. Also I wonder whether it would also detect mouse and keyboard inputs, which might be nice and useful. But it's a good start in any case and you can set it up to run for your purposes.
Power Naps for your Linux System

Wow .... Angel, what an impactful painting... you're so talented... Ana
Angel what ever u are u r certainly not a pretender ... if u don't trust me than look at your paintings.. do u think a pretender can pain like that ? I don't think so.... and don't be upset if people are treating ur arts unjustly .. they are normal people.. they will congratulate u if they see something pleasing to eye that's true but will they understand how much effort.. how much emotion .. how much heart u put in to ur work ? I think not.. only another artist can comprehend that... that's one of the reason why people say unreasonable prices to ur art work..but not everyone is like that.. look at how everyone in FAA admires ur art work..and why do u think that is.. and by what I have seen.. they also admire so much the artists who created all these beautiful artworks ............don't let ur sorrows and depression control ur life Angel.. they are our emotion , we are human because we feel them but its also up to us to overcome them and move on... stand up straight.. u r such an amazing painter and u have every reason to be proud of it... don't let this part of u get lost amongst these negative feeling...it is just to precious for that.....
angel...life isn't race to win or loose :).. hard times.. yes they are there but that's what also makes our life beautiful isn't it?? I have to deal with the memories of someone I loved so much everyday..it is painful I know.. but we all have to move on....I m saying all these because Ur painting is some of the most magnificent painting I've ever seen..u can't just give up..please start painting once again.. they will take u through this dark times u r facing.. and look at all the friends cheering for u..I wish I had so many friends cheering me on when I was sad... what does this says u think ? so many people cares for u in their heart.. u r very lucky u know that ? not everyone is so lucky enough in their life.. I know that from experience....I pray that u can get over ur depression really fast and start painting once more..

Thank you for this wonderful print. I've just returned from having it matted and framed, and can't wait to hang it this week-end. It compliments my collection of framed art by adding a new style and genre to the lot. Naturally, it is also special to me because of it's subject/title (my name being Joan and all, not to mention being a resident of the PNW).
