Record-Breaking Thread
- Updated
Monday - Yesterday was a mix of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and football, both being very entertaining. I only caught one episode of DS9, but it was the excellent "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges," featuring intrigue between the Federation and the Romulans. Afterward, the 49ers spotted the Texans ... what was it, 24 points, before deciding to put it in gear, and they did with a vengeance. The Seahawks / Packers contretemps was also exceptionally well-fought. I find myself looking forward to both the NFC and AFC championship games quite keenly.
I don't know a whole lot about college football. But I do know this...
The Tigers will definitely win the national championship tonight!2 Replies
Tuesday - I missed most of the LSU - Clemson debacle in favor of continuing to binge-watch ST:DS9, as odd as that may sound. Needless to say, I wanted to see the Buckeyes in there instead of Clemson, but it was not to be this time around.
Meantime, the Browns have New Head Coach No. 10 since the reboot, about which this deponent has damned little to say...
Hopefully we hit a milestone this winter, it can ease off now. Hit -40C, well, -40F too, on the way to work this morning.5 Replies
Hmph…. 20cm, melt, 25cm, melt, 20cm, melt, freezing rain/ice pellets/10cm, waiting for the inevitable next step.
Minor remnant snow piles after a January heat wave of several days in the 50's and 60's F. It's now in the mid 30's with some rain tomorrow but no snow. Night time temps drop to 10 F Thursday and Friday night with 1-3 inches of snow Saturday and some single digit nights next week. Saturday the 25th looks like 1-3" during the day and 3-5" at night but at 11 days out it's too soon to trust.
They are predicting -33C tomorrow night here in Calgary. Where are those global warming folks?
The WRX does not like the frigid cold weather. I had to do the start cycle 3 times, in order for the engine to actually stay running. First 2 times, it would run, sputter and stall right away. Plugged it in today and didn't have the same issue (started right up). Had this happen last year, after I bought the car and dismissed it thinking the engine was still very tight (10km on delivery).

Crazy to think there is 100F difference between here and there.
Wednesday - Yet another afternoon and evening of listening to and evaluating my best friend's sound system, with a good meal thrown in for good measure. Always an enjoyable time.
I finished Season 7 of DS9 last night, and it's still as poignant as when I first watched it. I haven't done the entire series, but I may at least dig back to the beginning of the Dominion War and pick things up from there.3 Replies
I guess I should give DS9 another chance. I tried watching it when it was first out, but got bored of it after 4 or 5 episodes. Sounds like it got better?

As with TNG, DS9 needed at least a year to define its characters and find its footing. It was a couple years before the Dominion War got going and there was a lot more focus to the scripts, IMHO. I didn't do the entire series this time, just Season 7, but I may step back a couple years to where the war started and dig in from there, myself.
I defiantly think the series gets better once the USS Defiant gets added to the station.
My bachelor days are up today. The wife heads back home today. I'll pick her up at the airport this evening. It was fun while it lasted.
Thursday - The business of making a subwoofer work with a full-range speaker is not a simple matter, certainly not with a panel speaker like the Magnepan 3.7i. It took my friend and I a while to sort out the sound, but what we wound up with was running the REL subwoofer at its lowest crossover point: 30 Hz. That got its higher frequency components out of the way of the lower midrange and cleaned up the overall sound.
If it works, USE it!
The spouse returned safely from Arizona just in time for a few inches of the white stuff. And today, temps hovering just above 10ºF at the moment. We'll top out in the mid-teens. She is happy to be home, but wishes she could have brought the weather back with her. To be honest, I feel the same on both counts.
Friday - Slow, easy day yesterday (which characterizes most of my days here!). Today is liable to be much the same: not much remarkable, and I suspect I can live with that.

OK, the title is opinionated and contentious, but I have a definite question. I know that the title refers to the Bourbaki volume Groupes et Algèbres de Lie (Chapters 4-6), published in 1968, but
who said that it is the only great book that Bourbaki ever wrote?
The only reference I can find is the 2009 Prize Booklet for the AMS-MAA Joint Meetings, where no source is given, but I'm sure I've seen the claim somewhere else.
Edit. I have rolled back the title of this question to almost its original form, because putting the title in quotes misled some people into thinking I sought a source for the exact phrase "the only great book that Bourbaki ever wrote." Rather, I wanted a source (not necessarily unique) for the idea that Chapters 4-6 of Groupes et Algèbres de Lie is Bourbaki's one great book. Gerald's answer and Jim's comment together are exactly what I wanted.

Euro Falls on Report Russian Banks May Seek to Reschedule DebtHere's a chart showing the move on our dollar futures /DX on the left and the EUR/JPY cross on the right:
By Ron Harui and Yasuhiko Seki
Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The euro fell against the dollar and the yen as a Nikkei newspaper report that Russian banks and businesses may seek to reschedule $400 billion of foreign loans deepened concern financial turmoil in Europe is worsening.
The yen also ended a three-day loss versus the euro after European finance ministers signaled increasing concern that some governments are finding it harder to borrow in financial markets. The dollar strengthened on optimism that the U.S. government's stimulus and bank-rescue packages will help spur growth in the world's largest economy.
"European banks may face more financial difficulties, given the Nikkei's report that Russian banks may negotiate a debt rescheduling," said Yuji Saito, head of the foreign- exchange group in Tokyo at Societe Generale SA, France's third- largest bank by market value. "This is likely to cause risk aversion. It is natural that the euro is sold and the yen is bought."
The euro fell 1.4 percent to $1.2826 as of 1:20 p.m. in Tokyo from $1.3003 late in New York yesterday. Europe's single currency slipped 1.5 percent to 117.18 yen. The dollar was at 91.35 yen from 91.46 yen. The euro may weaken to $1.27 and 117 yen and the dollar may depreciate to 90 yen today, Saito said.
The British pound climbed to 86.57 pence per euro from 87.28 pence. The yen rose 1.4 percent to 61.18 versus Australia's dollar and 1.2 percent to 48.64 against New Zealand's dollar.
Financial Difficulties
The euro weakened versus 13 of the 16 most-active currencies after the Nikkei newspaper said the Russian Association of Regional Banks has submitted a plan to the Russian government for rescheduling loans, citing an interview with Anatoly Aksakov, the head of the association. The group is already in talks with HSBC Holdings Plc and Deutsche Bank AG, the Nikkei reported.
Liliya Khalikova, Aksakov's spokeswoman, confirmed that the Nikkei had interviewed the head of the association. She declined to confirm or deny the contents of the interview.
"The Nikkei report of rescheduling debt is driving the euro lower because European financial institutions have a bigger exposure to Russia than their counterparts in other countries," said Takashi Kudo, Tokyo-based director of foreign-exchange sales at NTT SmartTrade Inc., a unit of Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp., Japan's largest fixed-line phone company.
Kazakhstan's banks may have their ratings cut as the devaluation of the nation's currency makes it harder for them to repay foreign debt and "substantially increases" credit risk, Moody's Investors Service said yesterday.
In general, our dollar going up or the EUR/JPY cross going down is bad for stocks. The S&P futures are sitting right on support in the 850 area.
UPDATE: Russia is now denying that they are asking for new terms and claim that the story run in the Nekkei newspaper is false... hmmm, we'll see.

Proactive Strategies for Coping With Economic Chaos
Our goal here at Kiplinger's is to help you take control of your finances in a turbulent world.
One of the many news stories about Occupy Wall Street featured a young woman named Kate, 25, who had come to New York City hoping to break into acting. In the meantime, she was working in a restaurant and struggling to repay $50,000 in student loans. Plus, she had incurred unexpected hospital bills and had no health insurance. She had come to Zuccotti Park because, she said, "I just wanted some kind of hope for young people starting out, who think the deck is stacked against them."
As someone who in a parallel life writes a column about young people and money, I couldn't help taking a stab at giving Kate (and others like her) some hope, along with some practical advice.
For instance, she may have to acknowledge what generations of aspiring actresses before her have learned: Making it on Broadway might not be in the cards, regardless of the state of the economy. She could be better off financially by trying her luck in a less expensive city with brighter job prospects.
As for her student loans, Kate can at least take advantage of special programs for federal loans that offer graduated payments and income-based repayment options to help ease the burden. I always advise families that the best way out of the student-debt trap is to avoid it altogether by choosing a school you can afford, possibly an in-state public college (see our rankings of the best public schools).
And when it comes to health coverage, healthy adults in their early twenties can buy a policy for less than $100 a month in most states (see our advice on buying health insurance on your own). If cost is an issue or if a preexisting condition is involved, adult children may stay on their parents' policies until age 26.
My advice may not solve all of Kate's problems (or those of her contemporaries), but she might feel more in control if she takes some proactive steps to improve her situation. That's our goal here at Kiplinger's -- to help you take control of your finances in a turbulent world.
Another way to master your finances is by preparing for the specter of inflation. It's fairly tame now, but as analysts debate the future implications of the Federal Reserve's easy monetary policies, senior associate editor Nellie Huang takes a practical look at whether Treasury inflation-protected securities should be part of your portfolio. If you want a hedge against inflation but don't like TIPS, you have other options: laddered CDs with staggered maturities that can be reinvested when they come due; a commodities fund; and, yes, stocks.
Save a bundle. When it comes to being proactive, you can't beat our cover story, in which we present 26 moves you can make in 15 minutes or less and save thousands. No, we're not exaggerating. In compiling our list, we had two major criteria: Each move had to save you money, and each had to be doable in the requisite quarter-hour. That left out some of our favorite financial fixes. For example, you can check your credit report in less than 15 minutes, but that won't necessarily save you money -- at least not directly. Switching to another bank can save you a bundle in fees, but the process may take a while. Still, if you try even a couple of the strategies that made our list, you, like Kate, will feel more in control of your money.

I've just had some fun trying to recreate cspare's ConquerStats - Score charts using Flot for graphing, and it seems to be working. If anyone wants to try it out, please do so and give some feedback here.
Currently it adds a button to the profile page (same position as map rank), and it starts retrieving the data through the API and in the end it creates the graph.
The graph allows zooming, resetting the range required a button. It doesn't take into account score resets or games with missing logs, so it could be off a few point (though it counts back, so the end should normally be ok). As far as I know, it should work for chrome too (but haven't tested that yet).

The Lotus Elise is one of the purest and best handling cars the world has ever seen. But it's also a car that needs to be explained to everyone. That makes it more a of a nerd-mobile than a p***y magnet.
Nobody tell this guy that.
This photo shows a swell little Elise with one of those sticker families on the back. You know, the white stickers that show parents and kids and pets and make you vomit in your mouth when you see them?
The difference is that this Elise seems to be filling the pussy magnet role for one driver who has bags of money and women at his beck and call... or at least that's what the stickers would have you believe.

Donald J. O'Brien 1925-2012
Donald Joseph "Red" O'Brien of Des Moines formerly of Emmetsburg, died of natural causes on May 7, 2012, at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 3 2012 , at Holy Family Catholic Church in Emmetsburg followed by internment at St. John's Cemetery.
The family encourages family and friends to come to the luncheon at the Parish Center immediately following the internment.
Donald was born on Dec. 23, 1925, to John and Ellen "Nellie" (Neary) O'Brien. He graduated from St. Mary's High School in Emmetsburg, and was drafted into the United States Navy at the age of 18. He served in the Pacific during World War II. He obtained a business degree from Loras Catholic College in Dubuque in 1951, using the G.I. Bill.
Donald was a contract auditor in several states and traveled to other countries, including Greenland, to perform audits. He also worked for two years at Ford Motor Company in Detroit, MI.
Donald married his wife, Carmen (now deceased), while living in Palisades, CA. In the early 1980s, he returned to college and earned an R.N. degree. He moved back to Emmetsburg in 1985 to live in his childhood home.
Donald was a person of strong Catholic faith and attended Mass daily as long as his health permitted. When his health began to fail in 2010, he moved to Des Moines to live with his sister, Helen Blasco.
Donald is survived by his brother, John O'Brien; sister, Helen Blasco; and many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly. He was the family historian, known for his genealogy research. He was proud of his Irish heritage and being descended from one of the original Irish families who founded Emmetsburg.
The family would like to thank the nursing, medical, and pastoral staffs at Mercy Medical Center for the exceptional care they provided Donald.

The foundation of a proud defense held true at a time when the Ravens could have crumbled again in the fourth quarter.
Back-to-back touchdowns off interceptions by Ed Reed and Ray Lewis pulled the Ravens to a surprisingly tough 37-13 victory over the stubborn Carolina Panthers.
With the Ravens holding a far-from-comfortable 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, Reed picked off a pass and ran 19 yards before making a long lateral to Dawan Landry, who raced the remaining 23 yards for a touchdown.
Just 11 seconds later, Lewis intercepted on the next play and rambled 24 yards for the game-clinching score at Bank of America Stadium, where the chant of "Let's go Ravens" reverberated from thousands of purple-clad fans.
Two interceptions. Two defensive touchdowns. Too much for journeyman quarterback Brian St. Pierre, who was making his first NFL start after signing with Carolina a little over a week ago.
It could have been another fourth-quarter collapse for the Ravens, who had given up a late game-tying or -winning drive in three of their past four games. Instead, it was like old times, with Reed and Lewis leading the charge toward the playoffs.
"To play like this in the fourth quarter and close the game out was huge," said Reed, who yelled "We let them off the hook" in Atlanta 10 days ago after the Ravens gave up a last-minute game-winning touchdown.
"Coming off the loss in Atlanta, we wanted to build on the season, play better and close out games. We've got to do this as a team from start to finish if we want to be competing in late January."
It didn't look as if the Ravens were in the playoff race, or a race of any kind, when beaten cornerback Josh Wilson (who was left in man-to-man coverage because of a safety blitz) was chasing rookie wide receiver David Gettis on an 88-yard touchdown reception, the first play of the fourth quarter, which cut the Ravens' lead to 20-13.
At that time, Lewis said, players on the defense looked at one another and said: "Let's finish what we started. Never two weeks in a row."
The Ravens' defense forced a three-and-out on the next possession before ending those consecutive drives with interceptions.
It marked only the second time that the Ravens had scored touchdowns off back-to-back interceptions (the first was in 2006 in New Orleans). It represented milestone interceptions for Reed (the 50th in his career) and Lewis (his 30th). More importantly, it provided a much-needed shot of confidence into the defense.
"Today, we really took a step forward," Lewis said.
The Ravens (7-3) remained tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for first place in the AFC North after beating Carolina for the first time in their existence and handing the Panthers (1-9) their fifth straight loss. But the Ravens' best 10-game start in the John Harbaugh era came with a victory that was more sloppy than scintillating.
The Ravens' offense went into a second-half lull (120 yards after halftime) and turned the ball over twice. The one fumble in the red zone came when quarterback Joe Flacco mistakenly handed the ball off to running back Ray Rice instead of making the intended reverse to a wide receiver. "My head got scrambled a bit," Flacco said.
The defense allowed third-string running back Mike Goodson to break loose for a career-best 120 yards rushing and a third-string journeyman quarterback to throw the second longest completion ever against the Ravens (the 88-yard touchdown).
"We've got plenty of things to work on," Harbaugh said. "We can play a lot better, but we're happy with the direction we're headed."
The Ravens jumped on the Panthers early and often. Criticized for their slow starts on the road, the Ravens scored on three of their first four drives to take a commanding 17-3 lead into halftime.
Flacco's first pass of the game was a 56-yard touchdown to T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who simply outran two Carolina defenders downfield. It was the Ravens' first first-quarter touchdown on the road since their playoff win in New England 10 months ago.
"Looking back on it, yeah, it was big for us," said Houshmandzadeh, who hadn't scored since his game-winning touchdown at Pittsburgh on Oct. 3. "I'm sure everybody thought it was just going to be one of many. But that wasn't the case."
In the first half (which included a perfect quarterback rating in the first quarter), Flacco completed 16 of 18 passes for 213 yards. In the second half, he was eight of 15 for 88 yards, some of which could be attributed to some dropped passes.
That left an opening for the 11-point-underdog Panthers.
"When you let them have success, they're going to play even harder and harder," said Flacco, who recorded his first 300-yard passing game of the season. "We'll look at it but we felt like we could have played better at points in the game."
The Ravens' defense, which had given up 33 fourth-quarter points in the past four games, actually outscored the NFL's worst-ranked offense in the fourth quarter and put the Panthers away on a signature Reed maneuver with five minutes left in the game.
Running clear across the field behind a wall of blockers after the interception (which the Ravens have continually practiced), Reed pitched the ball about 9 yards to his right to Landry, who was looking to block for Reed instead of looking for the ball.
The fact that Reed lateraled the ball wasn't surprising. The distance of it was. Asked whether it was the longest lateral of his career, Reed joked that it was the longest in NFL history except for the Music City Miracle between the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills in 2000. The risky flip led to the first touchdown of the season for the Ravens' defense.
"It was a spontaneous thing seeing Dawan," Reed said. "Me and him are a great tandem and are on the same page. We want to take advantage of scoring smartly as much as we can."
Was Harbaugh holding his breath when Reed decided to pitch the ball? No.
"I wanted to score right there," Harbaugh said. "I think we've got to put it in a guy's hands to make good decisions and you try to coach that as best you can. But obviously, that was a good decision."
Harbaugh drew an ovation in the locker room when he unexpectedly announced that he will give the players their first Monday off. Another reward for the Ravens is playing four of their final six games at home. Sunday, the Ravens play the resurgent Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3). Still, some players would contend that the announced 73,021 was a home crowd in Carolina, where it is believed the Ravens had their largest fan following for aregular-season away game.
"To walk out there was like a home game," Lewis said. "To look in the stands and see all those purple jerseys. It was the greatest respect you can ever ask for: For people to pile in and say, 'We will follow you anywhere because we believe in you.'"

LEMONT FURNACE, Pa. -- Penn State's Board of Trustees approved today (July 12) the purchase of a State College property that will provide the University with strategic expansion opportunities, including bringing much of its information technology (IT) staffing and resources together in one location.
The parcel at 300 Science Park Road, Ferguson Township, consists of 8.54 acres and includes a 108,000-square-foot, three-story office building -- the former Raytheon Building No. 7 -- and a paved 415-space parking lot. The property is located about two-and-a-half miles from the Old Main building at University Park.
Penn State will purchase the property from Inland Western State College Science Park DST, a Delaware statutory trust, for $11.5 million, said David Gray, senior vice president for Finance and Business.
"The main reason for this purchase is to provide additional space for Information Technology Services personnel and equipment," said Gray. "The ground and first floors will be used to consolidate staff who are currently dispersed in numerous locations."
"We have IT resources squeezed into spaces all around campus and in leased spaces around town," said Daniel W. Sieminski, associate vice president for Finance and Business. "This acquisition not only helps to consolidate these resources, but also frees up much needed space on campus and will reduce our lease costs."
Gray added that for the next five or six years the top floor will be used for the team that will be implementing Project LionPATH, (link to: http://projectlionpath.psu.edu) the replacement of the University's original Integrated Student Information System (ISIS). ISIS manages student records from admission through graduation, including billing, course scheduling, student aid, and transcripts.
The acquisition is contingent upon the property being determined to be in acceptable condition by campus representatives and the Office of Physical Plant.

Compass 2 Campus director Cyndie Shepard receives Point of Light Award
Cyndie Shepard, director of the Compass 2 Campus program at Western Washington University, has been given a Daily Point of Light Award, which honors individuals and groups creating meaningful change in communities across America.
The Daily Point of Light Award was founded by former President George H. W. Bush during his presidency to engage individuals, families, businesses and groups to solve community problems through voluntary service. During his presidency, President Bush distributed 1,020 Daily Point of Light Awards, placing volunteer service at the top of his agenda. President Bush continues to sign all of the awards, including the one received by Cyndie Shepard.
"I am honored to receive this prestigious award, and do so on behalf of the outstanding Western student mentors who have made meaningful and lasting impacts on the lives of thousands of area school children," Shepard said.
Compass 2 Campus, a proactive effort that sends trained WWU student mentors into schools, is in its fourth year at Western. The program offers academic mentoring in areas that lack funding in the elementary, middle and high schools throughout Whatcom and Skagit counties. The goal is to establish a connection between schools lacking funds and college students to increase graduations rates and inspire students to further their education.
To date, the innovative mentoring program has now served thousands of students from the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades in schools in Whatcom and Skagit counties. Over the past three years, Western student mentors have provided nearly 70,000 hours of mentoring service to those students.
WWU students enroll in a three-credit class required to become Compass 2 Campus mentors. Mentors spend at least four hours a week in schools, engaged where teachers and administrators feel they're needed most; some help with after-school activities while others lead small group projects or provide one-on-one academic help to struggling students.
The program, launched in 2009 at Western, includes 13 area elementary schools and eight middle schools as well as partners from four community and technical colleges and Communities in Schools. Funding for the program primarily is from private sources.
The Washington State Legislature established the program in hopes of increasing the number of low-income students, students of color and first-generation college students in higher education. The predecessor to Compass 2 Campus, Phuture Phoenix, is now in three universities in Wisconsin after starting at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay. Shepard co-founded the Phuture Phoenix program several years ago at UW-Green Bay, where her husband, WWU President Bruce Shepard, was chancellor.

Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. ……But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." Genesis 11
A Single Ancient Worldwide Language...
The articles on this site come from a variety of sources; some from the internet, some from the library or from old books found in local bookstores or over the internet.
My main theme is a belief in the Bible and its description of human history; with the notion that there is supportive evidence out there. Even if you are not a Christian or don't subscribe to the Biblical view it should be clear that: Orthodox science has many things wrong with it! Much evidence that does not fit the current paradyme has been suppressed or ignored.It's not that I claim to have all of the answers--I just suggest that science has few of them either. What we've been told about our ancestors is pure fabrication. As we've shown on prior pages, "cavemen" were actually sophisticated men who looked like us--except that they often were bigger and stronger, and had larger brains! Science says that they were savage brutes with a barely developed fashion sense. They drew themselves well tailored with boots and hats worn at a jaunty angle. If you subscribe to the biblical view, man from the earliest times, had civilization and language. As we have noted, every known civilization in antiquity that we have studied appeared full fledged.
The articles on this page deal with language. If the Bible is true and correct, then before the flood of Noah, there was one world language and that language appeared at the same time men did--and much much earlier than science says that written language was invented.
In Glozel, a neolithic library was discovered with more than one hundred boards, with alphabetical characters - the first known alphabet if authentic.
The following article details that discovery, and its suppression. The author ties the artifacts to Atlantis--but if Atlantis existed, as I see it, it was just another pre-flood civilization that perished in the flood of Noah.THE GLOZEL TABLETS Source And Additional Info By R. Cedric Leonard It is now clear that the history of alphabetic writing dates back much further than once believed. While scriptographers once attributed the invention of the alphabet to the Phoenicians of 1600 B.C. (ancient tradition named Cadmus, King of Tyre, as the inventor), other examples keep showing up which are much older than this. Since many are as yet undeciphered, no one can be absolutely certain which ones (if any) represent a form of writing. However, the discovery of the Glozel tablets on a farm near Vichy, France created a controversy that raged on for years. Since about half of the "Phoenician" alphabet was depicted on these tablets, they ostensibly represent a form of writing. I am about to relate a story--the details of which were painstakingly ferreted out by John Philip Cohane (1977), a graduate of Yale University--which may go down in the annuls of scholarly history as the most infamous blunder ever committed by men of learning. The scene was Glozel, near Vichy in southwestern France, the year 1921. A large number of inscribed clay tablets (along with some clay bricks, pottery, and stone axes of Magdalenian extraction) had been unearthed in a field by a 16-year-old French lad by the name of Emile Fradin. Writing on the tablets was similar to Phoenician, and the pottery was incised with pictures of reindeer and panthers, both of which had been extinct in that area of Europe for 10,000-12,000 years. One of the Glozel Tablets depicted Phoenician-like characters. A vehement controversy ensued among authorities. Both the authenticity and the antiquity of the artifacts were vigorously debated. Finally in 1927 a worldwide body of Academicians was convened to settle the dispute. The blue chip panel concluded that the Glozel discoveries were outright forgeries, manufactured and planted by the young French lad to be "accidentally" discovered. The decision brought bitter disillusionment and anquish to young Fradin that can never be recompensed. Two things of extreme importance should be mentioned here: 1) this decision took place before our modern dating methods--such as Carbon-14, fission-track, fluorine, thermoluminescence, and paleomagnetism--were developed; 2) the infamous Piltdown controversy was still raging and the archeological community was in the throes of extreme embarrassment. The Piltdown fiasco wasn't settled until 1950 when fluorine testing exposed it as a hoax. The academic argument against the validity of the find was the depiction of extinct animals alongside Phoenician-style writing. How could someone be using Phoenician characters before the Phoenicians had invented them? To accept such an anachronism would be folly, and could throw the whole neatly organized picture of the history of writing awry. On the other hand, this question occurs to me: How could anyone carve a picture of an animal he has never seen? Moreover, the agreement between the Magdalenian artifacts and the depiction of Ice Age animals favor the antiquity of the find. It was not until forty-five years later that anything constructive was done to quell the controversy. During the late 1960s Mr. Gavn Majdahl, a physicist on the staff of Denmark's Atomic Energy Commission Research Laboratory, had been doing research on the development and application of a dating method recently invented in Britain. Known today as thermoluminescence dating, it is especially suited for dating clay artifacts. The development was being financed by Denmark's Governmental Research Council and the Atomic Energy Center. Having learned of this, Mr. Sture Eilow, a Swedish amateur archeologist, approached Majdahl with the idea of using the new technique to determine the date of the Glozel materials. Majdahl liked the suggestion, and agreed to do it. The tests were conducted on the Glozel artifacts, and lo, all the "experts" had been wrong! The tests proved conclusively that the Glozel material was from the Magdalenian period. Incredulous experts took the material to Scotland to undergo another battery of tests, this time at Edinburgh's prestigious Natural Museum of Antiquities. This series of tests totally confirmed the first ones, putting the antiquity and authenticity of the Glozel artifacts beyond question! Emile Fradin had been vindicated after nearly fifty years of humiliation. In an AP news release (28 August 1975) Majdahl commented: "It is fascinating, of course, to perhaps bring full rehabilitation for Emile Fradin, now 68. But Glozel just happened to provide the first dramatic demonstration of the potentials of the new technique" (Cohane, 1977). Thermoluminescence dating has been in use now for over thirty years in the field of archeology, and has proved to be an invaluable tool for dating clay materials. Needless to say, not many people in the world are aware of the end product of the heated controversy (you didn't know about it, did you?), even though the conclusion was reported in the press and apologies made to the aged Mr. Fradin. In spite of all these developments, scriptographers and other related authorities are continuing down the well-beaten path that the Sumerians were the inventors of writing, and that the Phoenicians were the inventors of the alphabet.
As you can see by perusing the other related articles, the archeological excavation of Upper Paleolithic Cro-Magnon sites have produced numerous examples of sophisticated written forms representing the communication of ideas, which lends support to the conclusion that the Glozel tablets represent an "alphabetical" form of writing dating back to Atlantean times.
The possibility that the Atlanteans had a form of alphabetic writing is significant, even if it represents a syllabary (Gelb, 1974), simply because an accomplishment such as this is indicative of an advanced stage of civilization.
In other articles on this website I have shown evidence that the Cro-Magnon people were extremely artistic, practiced agriculture, domesticated animals, and used boats (implying navigational and sailing skills).
They were also accomplished in mathematics, medicine and astronomy. In other words, the Cro-Magnon people were civilized before ever landing on the shores of Europe and North Africa.
Evidence of a Worldwide Language
A 5000 year old alphabet has been found on six global continents. Translations and grammar suggest a global human culture thrived in antiquity.
The author, in attempting to document some unusual and very old rock art in remote North America, has discovered an ancient alphabet. This alphabet is similar to ancient writing found in other locations around the globe and the author suggests that this is the result of a cultural migration.
The author's discovery is in Colorado and has been dated to before 800 BC. In the Negev desert of Israel, this same alphabet has been dated to 1500 BC. In South Australia the alphabet is estimated to be over 5000 years old.
The alphabet has been given the name "old Negev," after the location of the alphabet's initial discovery in the Sinai (See James Harris, Ph.D., Brigham Young University).
In Australia it has been known by the name "Panaramitee Art," while in the Americas it has been misrepresented as Native American Indian sign language (See LaVan Martineau, The Rocks Speak).
The alphabet has most recently surfaced in Yemen, where it was carved in a font style associated with the Sabatean Empire under the Queen of Sheba. The alphabet is now understood to be proto-Himyaritic, or Sabaean, and translated using a proto-Canaanite dialect.
The author recognizes the danger of describing the language as "old Negev" or "old Hebrew," despite the fact that root-Semetic languages are used in the translations. Evidence of the antiquity of this script in both America and Australia suggest that this root language may pre-date that of the Hebrews by at least a millennia.
The author and his associates suggest using an unbiased name, such as "the First Tongue," to avoid any biased association with a specific people or era.
The content of the translations, although not complete, suggests a common culture and religious belief system. But more scrutiny of this language system, its content and occurrence around the globe is indicated.
Photographic evidence is presented and on-going translations are posted from the Expedition in May 2000. A discussion of the evidence is welcomed. Additional translations from ViewZone's Expedition 2001: Yemen will be made available as completed.
Summarized Links by Topic and Region
The Alphabet contains basic, distinct geometric shapes, 22 in all (with some variations). Certain letters have more than one symbol so that they can be used consecutively with either inclusion or exclusion of the corresponding word. Since there are no word breaks in this language, this is a requirement.
Each shape or symbol has a corresponding phonetic (sound) meaning. The vowels (except for Y) are almost always omitted...... Source and Full Article:Viewzone

Muse's fusion of progressive rock, glam, electronica, and Radiohead-influenced experimentation is crafted by guitarist/vocalist Matthew Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme, and drummer Dominic Howard. Bored by the sleepy life provided by their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon, the three British friends began playing music together. They started the first incarnation of their band while only 13 years old, changing the name of the group from Gothic Plague to Fixed Penalty to Rocket Baby Dolls as time passed. By 1997, the bandmates settled on the name Muse and released their self-titled debut EP on Dangerous Records, followed by the Muscle Museum EP in 1998. The group's emotive, passionate sound and live presence drew critical acclaim and industry buzz, and Muse signed a deal with Maverick Records after a trip to New York's CMJ festival. The singles "Cave" and "Uno" preceded their debut full-length album, Showbiz, which was released toward the end of 1999. Two years later, Muse issued The Origin of Symmetry and had a major hit with "Hyper Music," which helped propel the album to platinum status in the U.K. In 2002, fans were treated to Hullabaloo Soundtrack, a combination rarities/live set that peaked at number ten in Europe. Muse then returned with a proper studio effort, Absolution, which became the band's first album to chart in America. A short North American tour in the spring of 2004 coincided with Muse's spot on the fifth annual Coachella Music and Arts Festival, and Absolution eventually went gold in the U.S. Back at home, the album earned Muse their second platinum certification.
Released two years later, Black Holes and Revelations marked the band's brightest, most dynamic set of material to date, topping the U.K. album chart within its first week and earning Muse their second consecutive number one album at home. In America, Black Holes and Revelations broke into the Top Ten. Muse toured Europe, America, Australia, and Southeast Asia in support of the album, and their dynamic stage performance (which won the band multiple awards for Best Live Act, including accolades from the NME Awards, the Q Awards, and the Vodafone Live Music Awards) was captured on 2008's H.A.A.R.P. Live from Wembley. The trio spent the remainder of that year — as well as the early part of 2009 — in the recording studio, eventually emerging with the release of The Resistance in September. The band kicked off a world tour, headlining shows as well as supporting U2.

Terry Kidwell influenced a lot of key people in the early days of snowboarding. It's those early days that helped make snowboarding what it is today. That is why Stepchild Snowboards is proud to announce a collectable TK Edition Terry Kidwell pro model that will be available in stores September 2007. "We have a young up and coming team right now but we still respect what the pioneers have done to get us to where we are today. Kidwell has always been my hero-I used to have a fake ID with his name on it." Says Sean Johnson-StepChild founder. If you look at some of the photos of Terry from the mid eighties, they are still legit by today's standards.
"Terry was able to do mctwists and 540's that looked good by today's standards only he did it in a 5 ft deep halfpipe with banks for transitions."-Tom Burt.
Terry was one of the people that was able to make riding look good in a time when there were no highbacks, pipe dragons or metal edges on a snowboard. They were very talented people that used what little resources they had to make snowboarding look good-they were not making near the money that even an average pro makes today. "Its funny" says Terry "when I look back at it cause when I won the first worlds in 1984 I got $150 for first place." Terry Kidwell was the top dog of the early day snowboarders. He was the world halfpipe champion from 1984-1987 a span of 4 years.
Terry still resides in Lake Tahoe and is usually out doggin' it up in the powder during the winter months. If you are lucky enough to see him ride you'll recognize that classic Kidwell style that he's still got. It's easy to say that the pioneers did it for the pure love of the sport-not for the money, the fame or the fashion and that's what StepChild is all about-so pull out your 4 year old stinky snowboard boots, your moms mittens and do whatever you can to get to the hill this winter-cause in the end its just about having a good time and hooking up with friends-isn't that sweet.
StepChild is entering into its 5th year of brodution. The Pro Team currently consists of Simon Chamberlain, Stian Solberg, and Fredu Sirvio.

The Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum, serving Fall City, Preston, Snoqualmie, North Bend, Cedar Falls and Snoqualmie Pass for nearly 50 years, came into being as the result of the initial work of one woman, Ada Snyder Hill. She came into the Valley in 1910 to teach school and early on began collecting the historic items that made up the exhibit she arranged for the 1939 celebration of the platting of North Bend. They were the nucleus for the present day collection that includes cherished artifacts and anecdotes from all corners of the Snoqualmie Valley.
The first home for the artifacts was a room in the North Bend High School where Mrs. Hill was a teacher. There, for nearly the next decade, she continued to add items as they were donated and, without help, catalogued them, arranged the displays and took visitors on tours.
The collection has since grown and was moved to a larger building. It is presently housed at 320 Bendigo Blvd S in North Bend in the Gardiner Weeks Memorial Park. The collection includes the ledger from the Meadowbrook Hotel, William Taylor's hat and gun, the Fall City Study Club scrapbooks and memorabilia; among many amazing photographs and artifacts. A visit will give you a unique prospective on the evolving Snoqualmie Valley history.
The Snoqualmie Valley Community Network works locally to reduce youth substance abuse, to prevent teen suicide, to foster meaningful community connections with youth, and to coordinate civic engagement opportunities for youth & adults in the valley (such as the Be the Change Leadership event, Key Leaders Summit, the Healthy Community Coalition, & the Rise & Shine Volunteer Recognition breakfast). SVCN's vision is a Snoqualmie Valley where ALL residents thrive!

REF generates financial and community support for enriching the education of Riverview students. The Foundation receives and manages financial contributions for enriching education in the Riverview School District by hosting fundraising activities in the Community and oversees equitable distribution of financial donations through its Grants and Award Programs.
Hopelink's mission is to promote self-sufficiency for members of our community, helping people make lasting change. Hopelink serves homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities.

Apple iPhone Xr
Apple iPhone XR
Check out our Black Friday Phone Deals to find huge savings on your favourite handset
Never ones to pander to the conventional last year Apple released the iPhone X at what seemed to be a random point. This year they have chosen to release three new handsets and among them is the iPhone Xr. Described as a way to make their technology more widely available the iPhone Xr is a cutdown phone, something we haven't seen from California's technology giants since the iPhone SE, but a move that seems to have been well received.
While it is touted as being cut down, we actually found the handset to be packed full of great features and functionality. While there are some differences between this and the higher models the handset is incredible and well worth a look.
iPhone XR Design & Screen
It was likely that the OLED screen would be one of the changes that Apple would make and this has indeed been replaced by an LCD screen, but this is their all-new Liquid Retina display which is the top end of LCD screens and still delivers an impressive visual experience. In terms of looks, the phone is an infinity screen which will be a favourite move and has a larger notch at the top that handles the front-facing camera technology. The handset has a true edge to edge viewing thanks to the backlight that is another new feature.
Like the other new phones in the fold, the iPhone XR has facial recognition technology as Apple has removed the fingerprint technology, meaning you have enhanced security which was perhaps a feature not expected at this level. The iPhone XR has haptic responses making it a joy to use. The iPhone XR features the same IP67 rating seen on many of their other handsets meaning that an accident dunk in water or a spilt coffee will not be the end of the world.
The iPhone XR is a more playful handset as Apple has chosen to bring out their coloured cases once more in a move not seen since the iPhone 5C, and this handset comes in Red, Yellow, Coral, Black, White and Blue. The back is finished in glass but the depth of colour is outstanding and around the sides is the trademark aluminium band finished in the same colourway.
iPhone XR Audio
We know that Apple audio is good, which in this case makes this even more likely to find itself a gaming handset as well as one more than capable of streaming movies and music. Gamers are always on the lookout for handsets that offer them a larger screen, fast processing and of course sound for the in play action.
iPhone XR Camera
One of the things that have been reduced is the camera technology as the iPhone XR only has one rear facing camera; however, this has been handled well and again it delivers a photographic performance of a much higher quality that one might and is still a weighty 12MP lens. The front facing 7MP camera is also great for selfies.
iPhone XR Features & Performance
Inside the phone, the new A12 Bionic processor makes an appearance and is a really featured packed piece of kit that again is perhaps something you wouldn't expect for a phone at this level. It also powers the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max and features the Neural Engine for amazing advancements in mobile augmented reality and gaming technology. The gaming potential is definitely there for this phone, and it will be able to take full advantage of the new augmented reality games that are starting to flood the market.
Thanks to the 1792x828 resolution and the 326ppi you can be sure that game graphics are going to be of a high standard and complete the fully immersive nature of gaming. The Neural Engine is a machine learning tool that can spot patterns and predict behaviours thereby learning.
The phone is running iOS 12 which is the latest incarnation and the power it offers as a combination make this one awesome handset. The iPhone XR is a dual SIM handset with the ability to take a standard nano-SIM and an eSIM which gives this even more functionality.
The FaceID which comes as standard means that Apple Pay receives an upgrade on this handsets, and offers full functionality which is great, and more secure than chip and pin cards as your facial recognition is required before your Apple Pay can be used.
There are plenty of memory options here, with a 64GB, 128GB and 256GB version on the market offering great customisability. The battery life is good, and will easily last the full day which is helpful for busy lives on the move.
Although Apple has marketed the iPhone XR as a cut-down phone we tend to disagree; it is so packed with features it really is a beautiful handset to own. Everything you could need and more has been packed into this handset making it a great choice for those on a budget. The only thing that is really less is the price tag so you can be sure of many great deals on this phone.

Okay, question... I have been wondering this forever but never really had a forum to ask it in. (I'm sorry to highjack your comment section) Teachers- How much money do you spend on ink? What kind of printers do you have? I have a wireless HP Photosmart printer and I feel like I spend a FORTUNE on ink and just when I really need it.. it runs out midway through a job. grrrr!!! Does anyone have a super smart solution? Is there a website or service that you can send jobs to that will print them at a reasonable price with good quality?
Your labels are so cute and so are all of your centers!!!

Usually at superbowl parties you find the same assortment of greasy fingerfood. While I would never tell you to get rid of the obligatory hot wings, I do have suggestions for alternative foods that will entice the vegetarians and the health concious crowd. These recipes are also great to use as appetizers on Friday night.
All you need for this dish is a small food processor. It looks really impressive at the Shabbat table.
Sumac is a spice that is tasty on grilled meats and fish or as a seasoning for rice. It complements lentils and other beans as well as vegetables. Sumac is best known as a major ingredient in "za'atar." This is a spice blend that also includes sesame seeds, thyme and salt. Za'atar is usually sprinkled on freshly baked flatbread. It is mixed into olive oil or yogurt for a zippy dip. Spellings for this mixture are as varied as that of sumac. It may be known as "zahtar," "zather" or "zatar."
Look for sumac or prepared za'atar at Middle Eastern markets, gourmet shops and some mail order sources.
I found kosher sumac HERE .
Superbowl Hummus with Sumac
- 1 can Garbanzo beans
- 2 teaspoons Tahini
- 3 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Sumac
Rinse the Garbanzo beans and place in a food processor. Grind until smooth. Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt. Add enough olive oil to make the Hummus smooth. Grind everything in the processor until everything blends together. Spoon the hummus onto a plate. Make an indentation in the middle of the hummus with a spoon. Pour in a small amount of olive oil in the indentation and then pour the sumac on top of the olive oil. Stick healthy chips into hummus in a circular pattern. Enjoy!

not sure if sarcastic?
personal politics aside it's kind of hard to run a political party without being in opposition to the other guy. even if Brexit still had public support it's kind of hard to run on "I agree with my opponent".
except that's just what happened in Alberta, by a guy who lied about living in the basement of an old folks home. seems like the right always manages to pull that off.
