Ways to be Wicked

Chapter OneIRONIC, SYLVIE THOUGHT, that the pitching and rolling of that wretched wooden ship should set up a corresponding pitching and rolling in her stomach, given that motion was more native to her than stillness. She in fact leaped, stretched, and pirouetted every day, achieving semiflight with no ill effects apart from sore muscles and the perversely gratifying jealousy of all of the other dancers in Monsieur Favre's corps de ballet. Sylvie Lamoreux was, in fact, the darling of the Paris Opera, object of desire and envy, the personification of beauty and grace-not accustomed, in other words, to losing the contents of her stomach over the side of a ship.
She supposed it had a little something to do with control. When she danced, she commanded her body. Well, and Monsieur Favre had a bit of a say in it, too: "I said, like a butterfly, Sylvie, not a cow. Look at you! I want to moo!" Or "Your arms, Sylvie, they are like timber. Lift them like so-ah yes, that is it, mon ange, you are like a dream. I suspected you could dance." Monsieur Favre was a trifle prone to exaggeration, but if she was his best dancer, he had helped make her so, and confidence was marvelous armor against sarcasm.
She'd rather be at Monsieur Favre's mercy any day than that of a bloody woodenship, heaving this way and that over the choppy waters of the Channel.
He would not be pleased to find her gone.
The letter in her reticule said very little. But what it did say had launched her like a cannonball across the Channel to England for the first time in her life. For two weeks, Sylvie had furtively planned her journey, hurt and fury, poignant hope and a great inner flame of curiosity propelling her. She hadn't told a single soul of her plans. This seemed only fitting, given the magnitude of the things that had been kept from her.
Odd to think that a few mere sentences of English could do this. The letter had begun with an apology for bothering Claude yet again. Yet again-a little flame of anger licked up every time Sylvie thought of these words. It was not the first such letter sent, in other words. Or even the second, it would appear. And then, in the next sentence, it begged information about a young woman named Sylvie. For I believe she might be my sister.
The signature at the bottom said, "Susannah Whitelaw, Lady Grantham."
My sister. Sylvie had never before thought or said those two words together in her life.
To Sylvie the letter meant a past she'd never known, a future she'd never dreamed, and a store of secrets she'd only half suspected. Her parents were dead, Claude had told her, God rest their souls; Claude had raised Sylvie as her own. And if not for the fact that Claude had decided to holiday in the South as she did every year at this time, with a kiss on both cheeks for Sylvie and instructions to mind her parrot, Guillaume, Sylvie might never have seen the letter at all.
Sylvie had left Guillaume the parrot in the care of Claude's housekeeper. He would be in danger of nothing but boredom, as he spoke two more languages than the housekeeper, which was two fewer than Etienne.
Etienne. Sylvie's thoughts immediately flew from him as though scorched. And then flew back again, guiltily.
He was generous, Etienne, with ardor and gifts. He flirted as only one descended from centuries of courtiers could flirt; he moved through the world with the confident magnanimity of someone who had never been denied anything. He made heady promises she hardly dared believe, promises that would give her the life she had worked to acquire, that she had dreamed of.
But his temper ... Sylvie would never understand it. Her own was a starburst-quick, spectacular, gone. His was cold and patient, implacable. It waited; he planned. And his retaliations always came with chilling finality and a sense of righteousness.
She'd last seen Etienne a week ago in the mauve predawn light, an arm flung over his head, his bare back turned to her as he slept. She'd placed the letter on her pillow, telling him only that she was sorry, but that she would see him again soon.
He loved her. But he used the word so easily.
But just as she knew Etienne would have tried to dissuade her from leaving Paris, she knew he would try to find her. And his temper would have been waiting all the while, too.
She did not want to be found until she'd learned what she'd come to learn.
The ship had released the passengers, and at last Sylvie's feet pressed against England. She allowed herself a giddy surge of triumph. She'd made it this far, entirely on her own. But she could still feel the sea inside her stomach, and color and movement and noise came at her in waves: men swarming to unload the ship, the early morning sun ricocheting hard between smooth sea and blue sky, gulls wheeling in arcs of silver and white. No clouds floated above to cut the glare or soften the heat. Sylvie took her first deep breath of truly English air. It was hot and clotted with dock odors, and made matters inside her stomach worse instead of better.
So be it. She would will her stomach into obedience. To date, there had been nothing Sylvie could not make her body do if she willed it.
She nodded to the man who shouldered her trunk for her and briskly turned to find the mail coach that would take her to London. She had never before traveled alone, but she had contrived the perfect disguise, her English was passably good, and she was not a child needing coddling or protection from a man. Besides, after Paris, a city as intricate, beautiful, and difficult as the ballet itself, no city could intimidate her. Great cities, at their hearts, were all the same.
She glanced up then and saw just the back of him, through the crowd, the broad shoulders, the way he stood. The sight of Etienne slammed hard, sending a cold wave of shock through her confidence. It couldn't be. Not yet. Not so soon.
But it was not a risk she was prepared to take. She swiveled her head, saw the mail coach, and made her decision.
Tom Shaughnessy was alone in the stage coach mulling another failed trip to Kent, when a woman flung herself into his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and burrowed in, crushing her face against his.
"What in the name of-" he hissed. He lifted his arms to try to pry hers from about his neck.
"Hush," she whispered urgently. "Please."
A man's head peered into the coach.
"I beg your pardon." He jerked his head hurriedly back, and vanished from view.
The woman in his lap had gone completely rigid, apart from her rapid breathing. And for a moment neither of them moved. Tom had an impression of rustling dark fabric, a lithe form, and the scent of spice and vanilla and roses and ... well, female. This last made his head swim a little.
Startling, granted. But not precisely unpleasant.
Apparently deciding a safe interval had elapsed, she took her arms from about his neck and slid from his lap into the seat a distance away from him.
"And just when I was growing accustomed to you, Madame," he said wryly. He touched her arm gently. "Allow me to intro-ow!"
He jerked his hand back. What the devil-?
His eyes followed a glint to her lap.
Poking up from her neatly folded gloved hands was a ... was that a knitting needle?
It was! She'd jabbed him with a damned knitting needle. Not hard enough to wound anything other than his pride. But certainly hard enough to make her ... er ... point.
"I regret inserting you, sir, but I cannot permit you to touch me again." Her voice was soft and grave, refined; it trembled just a bit. And, absurdly, she did sound genuinely regretful.
Tom glared at her, baffled. "You regret inser-Oh! You mean 'stabbing.' You regret ... stabbing me?"
"Yes!" She said almost gratefully, as though he'd given her a verb she considered useful and fully intended to employ again in the future. "I regret stabbing you. I regret sitting upon you, also. But I cannot permit you to touch me again. I am not ..." She made a futile gesture with her hand, as if she could snatch the elusive word from the air with it.
She was not ... what? Sane?
But he could hear it now-she was French. Which accounted for the way her syllables subtly leaped and dipped in the wrong places, not to mention her unusual vocabulary choices, and perhaps even the knitting needle, because God only knew what a Frenchwomen was capable of. And apart from that tremble in her voice he would have assumed she was preternaturally self-possessed. But she was clearly afraid of something, or someone, and he suspected it was the man who had just peered into the coach.
He looked at her hard, but she kept her head angled slightly away from him. She was wearing mourning; he could see this now that she wasn't precisely on top of him. Her hat and veil revealed only a hint of delicate jaw and gleaming hair, which seemed to be a red shade, though this might perhaps be wishful thinking on his part. Her neck was long; her spine as elegantly erect as a Doric column. She was slim, but the gown she wore gave away very little of the shape of the woman inside it. The gown itself was beautifully made, but it fit her ill. Borrowed, he decided. He was accustomed to judging the fit of female clothing, after all, and this dress was not only too large; it had been made for someone else entirely.
Since he had done nothing but gape for nearly a minute, she seemed satisfied he didn't intend to reach for her again and slid the needle back up into her sleeve. For all the world like a woman tucking a basket of mending under a chair.
"Who is pursuing you, Madame?" he asked softly.
Her shoulders stiffened almost imperceptibly. Interesting. A further ripple in that self-possession.
"Je ne comprende pas, monsieur." Delivered with a pretty little French lift of one shoulder.
Balderdash. She understood him perfectly well.
"Au contraire, I believe you do comprende my question," he contradicted politely. His own French was actually quite good. All the very best courtesans were French, after all. Many of the dancers who passed through the White Lily were as well, which is why he knew all about the caprices of Frenchwomen.
The veil fluttered; she was breathing a little more quickly now.
"If you tell me, I might be able to help you," he pressed gently. Why he should offer to help someone who'd leaped into his lap, then poked him with a knitting needle eluded him at the moment. Curiosity, he supposed. And that delicate jaw.
The veil fluttered once, twice, as she mulled her next words. "Oh, but you already have helped me, monsieur."
And the faint but unmistakable self-deprecating humor and-dare he think it?-flirtation-in her words perversely charmed him to his marrow.
He opened his mouth to say something else, but she turned decisively toward the window, and an instant later seemed to have shed her awareness of him as neatly as a shawl or hat.
Damned if he wasn't fascinated.
He wanted desperately to gain her attention again, but if he spoke she would ignore him, he sensed; he suspected that if he so much as brushed the sleeve of her gown his hand would be swiftly "inserted" as neatly as a naturalist's butterfly to the mail coach seat.
He was watching her so intently he was startled when the coach bucked on its springs, taking on the weight of more passengers: a duenna ushering two young ladies, both pretty and diffident; a young couple glowing with contentment, as though the institution of marriage was their own marvelous, private discovery; a young man who looked very much like a curate; a plump prosperous merchant of some sort. Tom made his judgments of them by their clothing and the way they held themselves. At one time, each and every one of them, or someone of their ilk, had passed through his life, or he through theirs.
The little Frenchwoman widow might as well have been a shadow of one of the other passengers; with her slight build and dark clothing, she all but vanished against the seat. No one would trouble her or engage her in conversation if she appeared not to welcome it; she was a widow, and ostensibly still inside a bubble of grief.
Tom doubted it. He knew a costume when he saw one.
People wedged aboard the coach until it fair burst with heat and a veritable cornucopia of human smells, and the widow finally disappeared completely from Tom's view. When they were full, the coach lurched forward to London.
And as Tom was a busy man, his thoughts inevitably lurched toward London along with the coach: his meeting with investors regarding The Gentleman's Emporium was one line of thought. How he was going to tell Daisy Jones that she would not be playing Venus in the White Lily's latest production was another.
Ah, Venus. The concept was so inspired, so brilliant, such a delicious challenge for his partner's formidable talents that The General had very nearly entirely forgiven Tom for promising a particular earl a production involving damsels and castles ... inside a week. A frenzy of choreography, carpentry and epithets had resulted in a production comprised of a brilliantly constructed little castle, scantily clothed damsels, and an inspired, prurient song regarding lances. It had been a roaring success, and The General had all but refused to speak to Tom for weeks afterward.
Tom had known the damsels would be a success. The inspirations that dropped into his mind suddenly and whole, like a bright coin flipped into a deep well, invariably were. The production had since become one of the staples of the White Lily's nightly offerings. But the reason audiences returned to the theater again and again was because they could count on Tom Shaughnessy to surprise them, to feed their ceaseless appetite for novelty, and Tom knew he would soon need another small surprise to keep his audiences from becoming restless.
But Venus ... Venus hadn't been a coin-dropped-in-the-well sort of inspiration. The theater itself had given it to him, just the other night: Tom had swept his eyes across the gods and goddesses who gamboled across the murals covering the theater walls ... and the image of Botticelli's Venus, rising from her shell, had risen up in his mind. Venus would be a tour de force, a masterpiece, and the enormous profits he anticipated, along with the backing of a few key investors, would make his dream of The Gentleman's Emporium a reality.
Now all that remained was the delicate task of informing Daisy Jones that she would not be the one rising from the shell.
Tom smiled at the thought and glanced up; the curate sitting across from him gave him a tentative little smile in return. Very much like a small dog rolling over to show its belly to a larger, more dazzling dog.
"Exceedingly warm for this time of year," the curate ventured.
"Indeed. And if it's this warm near the sea, imagine how warm it will be in London," Tom answered politely.
Ah, weather. A topic that bridged social classes the world over. Whatever would they do without it?
And so the passengers passed a tolerable few hours sweating and smelling each other and exchanging pleasant banalities as the coach wheels ate up the road, and there was seldom a lull in conversation. And for two hours, Tom heard not a single word of French-accented English in the jumble of words around him.
When the curate stopped chatting for a moment, Tom slipped a hand into his pocket and snapped open his watch; in an hour or so, he knew, they would reach a coaching inn on the road to Westerly in time for a bad luncheon; he hoped to be back to London in time for supper, to meet with investors, to supervise the latest show at the White Lily. And then, perhaps, enjoy late-night entertainments at the Velvet Glove in the company of the most-accommodating Bettina.
And then in the lull a pistol shot cracked and echoed, and the coach bucked to a stop, sending passengers tumbling over each other.
Highwaymen. Bloody hell.

Each of the âPrelude to Deadpool Corpsâ books focuses on a different iteration of Deadpool across the multiverse, giving readers an idea of who these characters are before theyâre brought together to work as a team for some big, important, cosmic reason. The only problem is that, in the star of the second issueâs case, there isnât much to him except what youâd imagine when you hear about him: Kidpool is a child version of Deadpool who lives in the Xavier Orphanage for Troubled Boys along with other kid versions of X-characters. Aside from the surprise of which characters get to be adults in this world, there arenât too many surprises.
While most of the plot deals with Kidpool and Scott Summers as they overcome their antagonistic relationship to work together after being stuck in detention and forced to miss the big dance with the girls from Emma Frostâs, the best material in this issue is in Xavierâs efforts to impress and win over Frost. Beginning with his series of toupees and some funny one-liners at the dance, heâs the best part of this issue. Depicting him is also the only place where Whilce Portacioâs art actually works.
Of all the artists you could find to draw a comic full of little kids, Portacio is just flat-out the wrong choice as itâs impossible to tell how old any of the kids are -- or, sometimes, if theyâre kids at all. They morph in body size and shape so much that in one panel, theyâre cute little kids and, in the next, they look like little people. Itâs tough drawing kids in a consistent manner, but the overly crosshatched, lots of tiny lines, and ugly line work of Portacio is an incredibly bad fit. The only character of the kids that looks halfway good is Kidpool because of his mask and the, honestly, clever adaptation of his costume.
Kidpool as a character isnât any different from Deadpool. Not even the hyperactive, ADD-style mannerisms differ much. He offers the same quasi-metafictional quips and bad jokes as the regular version. Itâs hard to see what, if anything, separates him from Deadpool when, youâd imagine, a child version of the character would offer some differences.
If the idea of a kid Deadpool amuses you, this is the comic for you. Gischler doesnât really take advantage of the different world to any strong degree aside from his very good use of Xavier. The writing isnât bad, but the art is such a mismatch for the characters that it drags the comic down a lot.

I manage my program's website and I seem to be having difficulties creating several menus. Each bubble is a page but I also want to have the same pages at the top as menus so people can click the tab instead of on the bubbles. The content will be the same as the content in the bubble so I would just link the two. I created a menu and linked it but when I went to create another menu I got this message "your site only allows one menu". What is the HTML code I need to add to enable more menus?
Here's the site: essexpregnancyandparenting.org
Thanks in advance

Another shot of the ferris wheel in the Grand Parade, Cork from last weekend. As I said in my previous big wheel post it wasn't moving all that fast. It just depends on how the photographer shoots it!
We went into Cork City to see the big wheel on The Grand Parade this evening. It was freezing cold but a huge crowd was out braving the frigid temperatures. There were long lines for the wheel and had it been earlier I might have gone up there to take some photos but the wheel never travelled a full circle in one go while we were there. They were continually letting people on and off the machine so any time you see a motion blurred picture of the wheel it's during those times when the wheel turned a couple of degrees to let passengers off and on.
I got a few nice shots however so there'll be a few more shots before the new year!
I've recently taken a keener interest in older photos of Cork but the realisation that I have photos in my own archive that are "sort-of old" has dawned slowly on me.
Here's a shot of The Grand Parade in Cork shot in 2003. The street looks completely different now of course. The street isn't split in two, there aren't cars parked in the middle of the street like that any more, and there's a huge pedestrian area where that bus stop used to be. The bus stop is in fact about 10m or more over to the left.
In the foreground is the cannon I have posted here a few times. You can see in that picture some of the changes that make the modern street a more friendly place to pedestrians.
Last night was the coldest yet this winter. It's been amazingly mild so far but this morning cars were encased in a thick frost, the lock on my car was frozen solid and the thermometer in my car said -2C. Lovely sunrise however. Brrrrr.
Zara yawns as she ponders the meaning of life. No. She just wants to know when her next meal will be.
This was taken just over 10 years ago when Zara was but a kitten, she's a little bigger now! I shot this with my ancient Sony F717, my favourite camera of all time. It's "only" 5MP, and horrendous at night but it had a cool infra red mode and I loved how the body of the camera swivelled around the lens. Unfortunately the motherboard in it failed prompting me to jump ship to a Canon DSLR!
A derelict house on the Lower Glanmire Road in Cork as it existed in 2004, almost ten years ago. Now there's a bridge across the road nearby obscuring this view and the house is boarded up.
One from a few months back. Automattic held their annual grand meetup in California this year and we split our time between San Francisco and Santa Cruz. On our final night in Santa Cruz there was a small party for everyone and fire dancers appeared to entertain us. I was across the poll from them and guessed a long exposure might work better than an instant of time frozen by a brazen flash in the dark!
I walked around Blarney Castle this morning. It was around 2C and it felt it when I was in the shade but the rising sun was glorious and warmed the Castle in a lovely way.
It's been many years since horses have drunk from this trough in Parnell Place, Cork but it's great this old street furniture is still here. There's a similar one on Alfred Street, in front of Mc Loughlin's.

Britney Spears in Designer jeans
Paris Hilton in Work Custom
Paris Hilton and sister Nicky were seen leaving the Staples Center after attending the Britney Spears concert. It sounds like a ton of celebrities are Britney Fans, Nicole Richie even released a YouTube video dancing to Britney's Slave For You.
For their night out, Paris wore a pair of Work Custom's motorcycle skinnies and a leather jacket while Nicky wore a floral skirt. It seems like Nicky and Paris switched styles for the night because we usually see Paris in dresses and Nicky in jeans. Buy Work Custom jeans at Blueheavenboutique.com.
Emma Stone in J Brand
Emma Stone was spotted catching a flight to LAX in Los Angeles, California. Emma has really become one of the celebrities that mostly gets caught out at the airport more than on the streets. She wore a pair of the J Brand 901 Leggings in Olympia. Emma sure loves these jeans. She has been spotted in them quite a few times now.
Emma has gone back to her red hair or as Jason Sudeikis says, "Nice to see you back to your original fake colored hair." Usually we don't see celebrities sporting ginger locks. Especially if it is not their natural color. I think Emma is one of the few that is on the list of celebrities that can have many hair colors and still look amazing. The few others I would have to say are Drew Barrymore, Ashlee Simpson and Britney Spears (when her hair is taken care of). You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $139.
Selena Gomez in American Eagle
Selena Gomez opted for a relaxed look as she spent the day with her family and friends at Disneyland. She wore a simple gray sweatshirt and a pair of American Eagle jeans and sneakers. Although these jeans definitely need to be hemmed, Selena looked like she was focusing on having a good time with her family instead of what she was wearing. She even Tweeted, "Spending the whole day with my family : ) Needed it."
In terms of her career, Selena may be paying tribute to Britney Spears! Not only has Britney rumored to have written a track on Selena's latest album, but Selena also wants to perform her songs, "We are working on a few cover songs. We are working on a Britney tribute, which I'm so stoked about, 'cause I love Britney. I was like, ÔÇÿI have to do it.' I wanna do a mash-up of all her songs and just go for it."
Britney Spears in AG Adriano Goldschmied
Britney Spears has been everywhere lately! She recently performed in San Francisco to promote her newest album. She also announced that she will be touring this summer with Enrique Iglesias (although, shortly after the announcement, he pulled out of the tour). Most recently, she was seen on set filming a video for Jimmy Kimmel to air on his late night show.
Britney looked her usual casual self, in a white tank top, AG Adriano Goldschmied jeans and a pair of ski goggles! I'm not sure why she's wearing goggles but it undoubtedly has something to do with the skit. Either way, I think Britney looks great and hopefully she keeps looking so put together for her upcoming promotions and tour. Buy AG Jeans at Singer22.com.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that aXylophone is a barebones xylophone music app that kids play freestyle. The interface has seven easy-to-play bars that are polyphonic (two or more bars can be played at the same time) and chromatic (tuned to the white keys on a piano). The app's tonal quality is authentic and sounds good. But oddly, aXylophone doesn't span a complete octave -- it runs from Middle C to the B below the octave above Middle C, which limits the overall playing range and learning potential. You'll be satisfied with this app if you want a very simple xylophone experience or for playing songs like "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Hot Cross Buns," "Twinkle Twinkle," and "Lightly Row." But that's about it. If you want greater functionality or more keys, you'll be happier with a different xylophone or piano app.
What kids can learn
- music
- rhythm
- imagination
- making new creations
- effort
- listening
Tech Skills
- using and applying technology
Engagement, Approach, Support
This simple design gives players an easy, but limited, musical experience. The sound quality is good and the interface plays like a real xylophone (minus the mallets).
Kids learn basic xylophone playing and, to a limited extent, concepts like pitch and intervals. There are only seven keys (it doesn't even span an octave), but it can stimulate creativity, increase coordination, and encourage concentration.
No in-app instruction, recording, or playback. Kids don't see music notation or note names on the bars. There's a brief description of the xylophone's origins and construction, so kids can learn about the instrument's history and design.

What's it about?
AXYLOPHONE is a straightforward, simple xylophone music app. The app sounds authentic and has good tone whether it's played through a device's speakers or headphones. Kids open the app, press the play arrow, and are presented with a seven-bar xylophone interface. The bars are vertical, like a piano keyboard, and wide so they're easy to play. Kids tap the bars to play the xylophone, which sounds a pitch. The app is fine for a simple musical experience, but it's limiting because the tones don't span a complete octave.
Is it any good?
With aXylophone, what you see is what you get. It's uncomplicated, virtually effortless to maneuver through and play, with one screen, and that's all. The app's sound quality is good and the interface plays like a real xylophone, minus the mallets (kids must tap and release the bars, otherwise it won't make a sound). The app's ideal for little hands, or for those with varying learning and motor skill abilities.
But aXylophone is very limited. The main shortcoming is that it only has seven bars and doesn't even span an octave (which is eight bars). Kids are shortchanged one essential bar (or pitch) and can't experience the tonal pattern of a complete scale. There's no in-app recording or playback, but it's hard to hold that against this app because it's free and it is what it is -- a simple, simulated xylophone experience that sounds good and is easy to use. If you want something with more functionality, you'll pay a bit for it. But you'll likely get that eighth and very essential tone (if not more), which improves the musical experience immensely.
Families can talk about...
Point out neighbor notes and skipping notes. These are the musical intervals known as 2nds and 3rds and are essential parts of every song.
Try to figure out simple songs like "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Hot Cross Buns."

|Development of robust hyperspectral indices for the detection of deviations of normal plant state

Iron deficiency.
|Issue Date:
|EARSeL eProceedings, 6(2): 82-93
|This research was conducted to assess the potential of hyperspectral indices to detect iron defi-ciency in capital-intensive multi-annual crop systems. A well-defined hyperspectral multi-layer dataset was constructed for a peach orchard in Zaragoza, Spain, consisting of hyperspectral measurements at various monitoring levels (leaf, crown, airborne). Trees were subjected to four different treatments of iron application (0 g / tree, 60 g / tree, 90 g / tree, and 120 g / tree). Ground-based measurements were used to characterise the on-site peach (Prunus persica L.) orchard in terms of chlorophyll, dry matter, water content, and leaf area index (LAI). Indices were extracted from the spectral profiles by means of band reduction techniques based on logistic regression and narrow-waveband ratioing involving all possible two-band combinations. Physiological interpreta-tions extracted from leaf-level experiments were extrapolated to crown- and airborne level. It was concluded from leaf level measurements that a decrease in leaf chlorophyll concentration resulted due to iron deficiency. The results suggested that spectral bands and narrow waveband ratio vege-tation indices, selected via multivariate logistic regression classification, were able to distinguish iron untreated and iron treated trees (C-values>0.8). Moreover, the most appropriate indices ob-tained in this manner fulfilled the expectations by being highly correlated (R2>0.6) to the measured chlorophyll concentrations. The visible part of the spectrum, mostly dominated by the amount of pigments (e.g. chlorophyll, carotenoids), provided the most discriminative spectral region (505 - 740 nm) in this study. The discriminatory performance of a combined chlorophyll and soil-adjusted vegetation index was compared to the results of the selected vegetation indices to estimate the effects of soil background and LAI on those indices.

Jose L. Gonzalez
Position Title: Associate Professor
Department: Plant Sciences
Area of Research: Applied Crop Genetics and Genomics. My laboratory studies different genetic traits in wheat, an important crop for South Dakota, and in prairie cordgrass, a native perennial grass we are developing as a bioenergy crop.
What motivates you about your chosen field?
Since an early age I have been interested in science. I was blessed to have a outstanding science teacher in the equivalent to middle school and junior high in Spain. One day in sixth grade, I skipped recess with two other classmates to extract DNA from two pounds of chicken livers; that day I knew I wanted to be a geneticist. Choosing to study crop plants was later when I realized their tremendous importance to society.
Why did you choose to conduct your research at SDSU?
Land Grant Universities such as SDSU play a vital, and sometimes underestimated, role in the economic development of the USA. The connection between academia and society is most intense and direct in these institutions. In no other institution is this connection more direct than at SDSU.
What roles do your colleagues and student research assistants play in the work you do?
A vital one. Science is based on exchange and testing of ideas. Modern day science is also based on team work. My colleagues are the essential component for ideas exchange and team work. Student research assistants carry out much of the day-to-day of my research projects. They are in some ways like my children; they represent the future, and I am honored having them in my lab.
What have been some of your greatest research accomplishments while at State?
I am very proud of the work we are doing on prairie cordgrass. We have been the leading group in this species with reservations from our colleagues at other institutions. Now those colleagues are recognizing the potential of this species.
What do you enjoy most about SDSU?
My colleagues and the students. People is the soul of any organization. Our faculty and students define SDSU.
What piece of advice would you give new students?
When I started my college life at the University of Navarra in Spain, I received two pieces of advice: to read a national or international newspaper everyday, something I still do, and to talk and interact with students and faculty in other areas of study. I would also advise our students to make sure that they take advantage of the diverse opportunities available at SDSU; international experiences, seminars, clubs, courses in other fields and undergraduate research opportunities. In summary, make sure to say 'yes' more times than 'no' to new opportunities.

I've installed the Sociable plugin on my http://statickadesign.jefftovar.com WP blog and find it to be the best of its kind. There is an issue I would like some help with, however.
On the WP Admin page, I have set the plugin's Position field to "Individual blog posts" only. Then, on each of my Category archives, I have placed the following code where I want Sociable to appear:
<?php if (function_exists('sociable_html')) {
echo sociable_html();
} ?>
My reasoning for this is that when I had the plugin Position also set to "Category archives," it would place Sociable under each entry. This was obviously cluttered and not how I wanted it to act so I removed it. You can see an example of these pages here:
The plugin is working on the Category pages, but it's linking to the latest post instead of the archive appears on. Is there a way I can correct this without affecting the link it displays on each individual blog post?
Thanks for your help,
Jeff Tovar

Skip to comments.NYC Mayor Bloomberg: Government has right to infringe on your freedom
Posted on 03/25/2013 6:38:28 AM PDT by ZULU
click here to read article
I keep asking this, but never get an answer. How is this guy not drummed out of the Republican party!!!!????
"So favored that he won by less than 1%"
I know I 'don't do my homework', but the if I were to do my homework, the interwebs say he won 50.6 to 46.0 last time.
And his re-election in 2005 was by 20%!
And the latest approval rating I can find (February) is 50%.
Now I would only know that if I 'did my homework'.
But I guess I'll accept your premise: Bloomberg's two re-elections, successful modification of election law, and high approval rating are not indicative of anything. He is the least popular person in New York and nobody likes him.
And 'give me a break'. So what if NY politics are broken, and Bloomberg has been able to 'exploit' this. That is the definition of 'no pushback'...letting him roll all over people.
Do you know who is appealing the soda ban decision? The people of New York City are. Not Bloomberg personally. The City's legal team is pursuing it. I'd say the man is in control. The accuracy of my observation is not contingent on how recently I may have visited New York (and I used to make monthly visits), it is contingent on the easily observed realities of his success. With the exception of a state court ruling against him (which the city is fighting for him), when has he not been successful? Banning trans fats? Plan B to 14 year olds? Eliminating his own term limit?
His power is fairly unchecked, at least to this distant observer who doesn't do his homework. And BTW, it affects us in flyover country. NY is such a big market, if they ban trans fats for example, entire food chains comply - nationwide.
Bloomberg is a G*d damned MAYOR!!! Someone needs to remind him of that!!
He just saying what every Demonrat believes (and a good chunk of the Rino class).
I wonder if NYCers, will ever rise up against him.
They are to far up his butt to notice whats going on.
A Rotton apple who left many many years ago.
And those two figures add up to 100%, by your math?
The "anybody but Bloomberg" vote was, and remains, 49.3%.
And his re-election in 2005 was by 20%!
Underlining my point that he was a different, less drunk-with-power, individual at the end of his first term.
high approval rating
His approval rating is about 50%.
Do you know who is appealing the soda ban decision? The people of New York City are. Not Bloomberg personally. The Citys legal team is pursuing it.
And who do you think these attorneys work for? Who do you think hired them as city attorneys in the first place?
when has he not been successful? Banning trans fats? Plan B to 14 year olds? Eliminating his own term limit?
How did he accomplish each of those things? By putting them to a popular vote?
His power is fairly unchecked
The check is supposed to be the city council, but he has successfully purchased a working majority of that council.
Just because Bloomberg's opposition has been ineffective does not mean it has been nonexistent.
it affects us in flyover country
Do you blame Iowans or Ohioans or Coloradans (all residents of so-called "flyover country") for the Obama presidency? Because Obama is president and has had lots of success with his agenda, does it mean that 100% of Americans support him and no one has the guts to challenge him or speak up against him?
Does the fact that he won 51.1% of the vote (a much broader "mandate" than Bloomberg's 50.7% win) or his 50% approval rating mean that all Americans are sheep who love him and are happy to do whatever he says?
Take a step back and examine your arguments.
And now a word from C.S. Lewis:
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."
He isn't alone. Dems in general have lost their minds.
Don't know nothing about New York, but I know a Nazi when I see one. Pull your head out.
Your post emphasizes my point.
I don't like Bloomberg and I am arguing that tarring all New Yorkers by association with him is unfair.
And now you post this comment implying that I am somehow defending Bloomberg.
One thing conservatives are supposed to have over the left are our reasoning skills.
Use them.
Those who voted for this moron got just what they deserved.
every word there just screamed 'I'm a Tyrant'!!!!!!!
"'the interwebs say he won 50.6 to 46.0 last time'
And those two figures add up to 100%, by your math?
The "anybody but Bloomberg" vote was, and remains, 49.3%."
That is the most unusual way I have ever seen an election interpreted.
You want me to compare it to Obama? OkeeDokee.
Bloomberg won re-election by 20% the first time.
Barry Won re-election by 3.9% the first time....or 1.1% the way you interpret elections
Bloomberg changed his own term limit law.
Barry hasn't.
Bloomeberg's approval rating is 50%.
Barry's approval rating is 47.8%.
Bloomberg currently has the city attorneys pusuing his soda ban fetish in court.
Barry's latest ploy to raise taxes by playing a game of sequester chicken has failed.
I'd say Bloomberg has been more successful than Barry at pushing his agenda. And look at how bizzare his agenda fetishes are - hiding cigarettes, restricting soda size. In a sane world he would have been run out of town by recall election years ago. But not in NYC.
Lmao. You honestly think the "tough New Yorkers" care about these laws?
They know the laws Bloomturd spouts are meant for the cattle sitting on the government dole or the "slaves" imported to do the dirty work. The intent is to keep them in line, fill the city coffers with fines and keep the city health-care costs lower.
Selective enforcement is so blatant that people who "know people" now get cards or mini badges that they keep in view when approached by cops. You can get away with practically anything unless you harm or steal from someone else that "knows people".
Contrary to what the law says, the "right" people are allowed to speed, drive drunk, buy/sell untaxed cigarettes, smoke in bars, cheat taxes, use drugs and even carry guns.
Complete freedom for some, police state for others...
the fact that this little turd was reelected says it all. The fact that the sheep in NYC allow the government to make them jump through hoops, pay off the graft, tolerate the collar around their neck and are grateful that at least they are allowed to live without the ability to defend themselves, is so pathetic it's actually sad.
the problem for me is that the intelligentsia want that cr@p down here. They somehow think that "mass transit" will work in areas of the country with diffuse suburbs and no local or focal point of business. They think that everyone wants to suck off the government nipple and all the other crappy ideas that have destroyed every single city and state that the policies of the democrat party have governed.
I've had family shed blood for this country , but I made sure that my son never even considered joining the Marines to risk his life for the parasites and grifters that make up our federal government and are infused by the ideas like this little sh#t head Napoleonic punk.
I have actually come to the conclusion that if Texas was "kicked out" of the USA it would be just a great day all around.
"The fact that the sheep in NYC allow the government to make them jump through hoops, pay off the graft, tolerate the collar around their neck and are grateful that at least they are allowed to live without the ability to defend themselves, is so pathetic it's actually sad."
See my post 66. Many people live quite free in this city...
I LOVE that idea.
it sounds like a nice third world country.. you're right. La mordida, the wink that's what's wrong. no moral fiber to build upon, just a dog eat dog society living off the scraps from the bossman's table. pathetic.
I like that idea too!
Your argument is that Bloomberg won some resounding victory indicating that New Yorkers are radically supportive of him and his agenda. But 49.3% of New Yorkers voted against him.
loomberg currently has the city attorneys pusuing his soda ban fetish in court. Barrys latest ploy to raise taxes by playing a game of sequester chicken has failed.
Obama did not personally hire or personally endorse the continued employment of all members of Congress. They each ran for election in their own districts.
NYC's corporation counsel is directly appointed by Mayor Bloomberg.
I pointed this out before, allow me to clarify further:
Bloomberg can fire any city attorney because they work for him and do what he tells them to do.
US Congressmen cannot be fired by Obama because they do not work for him and he is not allowed to tell them what to do.
Id say Bloomberg has been more successful than Barry at pushing his agenda.
Quite a bit of what Bloomberg's agenda has been pushed aside over the past few years.
And look at how bizzare his agenda fetishes are - hiding cigarettes, restricting soda size.
All the initiatives you have mentioned, except one (the transfat labelling), were introduced in his third term.
He is not running again, and he is going for broke, introducing anything that enters his head.
In a sane world he would have been run out of town by recall election years ago. But not in NYC.
New York State does not permit recall elections. It is one out of 17 or 18 states that do not have them.
Again, all the criticisms you are levelling against New Yorkers on the basis of Bloomberg could with equal justice be levelled at all Americans on the basis of Obama.
Not only is your argument specious, it would have no practical value even if it were not.
Your argument, boiled down to its essentials, is: New Yorkers are jerks and I'm not!
Great stuff.
Bloomberg has the "Little Man Complex." My guess is that he has a small schmeckel as well.
"This man is a dangerous maniac - one among MANY who populate our elected offices - MOST of them SERIAL OFFICE HOLDERS!!!"
He's running a test case. He's finding out how far he can push and get away with it and the other globalists are watching him closely. I wonder what group he reports back to? He basically has an army at his command to ensure the proles don't get out of line and to protect him and the rest of the oligarchs that run the city and fleece the populace.
No, let Bloomy keep his guns — totally disarm his bodyguards.
Then watch him change his tune regarding gun possession. The guy is a despicable coward but for the fact that he has a bodyguard.
a.k.a. the "living breathing constitution".
I think Bloomberg gives new meaning to the term, "soda jerk".
Which President did Americans reelect in 2012? Did they reelect him by a larger majority than New Yorkers reelected Bloomberg?
he sheep in NYC
Those New Yorkers do have a mote in their eye, don't they?
I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom,
And some "conservatives" heartily agree when the subject is vices like (some) drugs, porn, or prostitution.
in another time his name wold be adolf.
if it was not for his money, he would be in a nut house.
Fantastic idea!
The problem is that our choices were horrific. And then he squeezed out a third term with the help of Quinn who is probably the next mayor. It's a bad scene.
might makes right + ends justify the means + government knows what is best for you = paternalism + tyranny
Spoken like a true Liberal hypocrite.
He thinks the government has a right to infringe on your freedoms WHEN HE THINKS the government has a right to infringe on your freedoms, just not when he thinks the reverse.
Liberals can do this because they do not have a clear Constitutional foundation on our Liberty in the first place. To them our Liberty is what they say it is and not what they say it isn't and that is the only basis of their thinking on Liberty.
I don't know why people waste their lives north of the Mason-Dixon Line. I'm not a neo-confederate, but if the Civil War were fought today, the North would lose in about an hour. Nothing but bedwetters.
True. Sad to say, some "conservatives" engage in the opposite hypocrisy.
And apparently the south is populated by morons.
Probably brought on by the Yankee diaspora, fleeing Democrat policies, crappy weather, and an out of control cost of living. They've already ruined Florida.
One of your earlier comments stuck with me:
"as if it were the mythical land of Mordor rather than a real place."
You're right. NY is very 'unreal' to me.
All these nanny bans are foreign to most Americans. But the thing that struck me the second I read your comment: NYC has a 41% abortion rate. It really did. That is bizaro world stuff for most people.
Look, NYC deserves the politicians it elects. I don't care who Bloomberg bought, etc...and to just 'accept' that as an unsurpassable obstacle is very telling in itself. To me, its just a matter of fact notion that NYC is a reliably liberal enclave, and has been for years. The ascendancy of Bloomberg (who was once had GOP by his name) only reinforces that notion. I'm not mad about it. Its just the way it is.
Think about how accepting of the system New Yorkrs have become:
a) Bloomberg can't run a third time, its the law. No problem, he just uses power and influence to change the law.
b) Perhaps Bloomberg should be recalled, since he doesn't plan to run again and is not fulfilling the will of the people who elected him. Impossible. No recall elections in NY, its the law.
In your own words, 'he is going for broke, introducing anything that enters his head'. Yet nobody cares to stop him. It seems New Yorkers are willing to wait him out. That's what I call not giving him much resistance.
A body guard gives 'access' ~ you have to assume denying access to firearms means you can't even be near them.
He hurt his cause more by that idiotic speech than by regulating formula milk!!!
People like Bloomie should be made to fear their constituents.
Last week we had people at the capitol in Lansing Michigan fully and openly armed watching legislators on the floor. Aside from a few bedwetting democrats, nobody said a word.
And if he lived in 1776, his ass would have been booted up to New Brunswick. He would've been OUR problem then :P
It was a city ordinance.
The city council approved it, and they can change it.
They did change it.
Laws in every municipality in America are routinely changed through the use of political influence. It is not unique to NYC.
Impossible. No recall elections in NY, its the law.
There are two things you can do - ignore the law and hold a recall election anyway, which would be interesting street theater, but still not legally binding. Or you could lobby the state legislature to enable recall elections, which has been done. And it has been killed in committee.
Yet nobody cares to stop him.
They do care, and they do try.
Just because they have not been able to penetrate Bloomberg's formidable legal defenses does not mean they don't care.
It's the same exact thing anywhere a government has power to tax, imprison and/or punish. The only place it briefly does not exist is on the Frontier, where government has yet to sprout its corrupt, thieving roots.
Its more obvious in cities because there is more activity in a smaller area but the same good ole boy network exists anywhere government does.
"I dont know why people waste their lives north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Im not a neo-confederate, but if the Civil War were fought today, the North would lose in about an hour. Nothing but bedwetters."
Yea, just like everyone in the South is a beer chugging toothless idiot redneck who beats their wife and eats roadkill. The thieving government and their minions in the MSM thank you for promoting their stereotypes and playing into the old divide and conquer game.
What do think the purpose of the Republican and Democrat parties are? Divide the people and take turns stealing their gold
Notice he used the word "we" when talking about the government. That's the way all politicians think. "We" is special!"
How did he get elected? Because he had an "R" after his name and many believe, including many on this forum, that that's enough.

We are all about jewellery storage here at Not a Jewellery Box. Based in Sunny Devon our passion is to seek out jewellery storage ideas to suit your jewellery collection and your home style. Headed up by me, Emma, I have a background in Banking but now soley run Not a Jewellery Box with some help from family and Anna who works with us.
I love jewellery, I always have. As a child I remember the joy of looking through my grandmas jewellery collection, wearing her bangles and wishing my ears were piecrced!
Today I have a mixture of jewellery. From bold fashion pieces bought to match an outfit and timeless pieces that I will pass to my daughter one day. I have necklaces that are hung from Jewellery Hooks on my wall and the more special items that are tucked away in The Little Book of Necklaces.
Not a Jewellery Box was founded because I found myself wearing the same earrings everyday and the same necklaces for weeks at a time, the rush of the morning routine meant that I forgot to change my jewellery! With my necklaces hanging on the wall I find it easy to choose what to wear. When I spend time away from home I make use of Items like the Travel Book of Earrings.
We work hard to have a varied range, we recognise that we all have different styles at home and also that space is precious.
Some of our range can be personalised, using vinyl lettering we can add a name or date. We also offer gift sets where you can bundle a jewellery storage solution with an item of jewellery and a unique presentation card making a lovely present for any jewellery lover.

"Armidale" New England Range Favorite Tip by iandsmith
New England Range General: 20 reviews and 22 photos
Favorite thing: I think I mentioned this elsewhere but, if you haven't got the message yet, I am a fan of parks.
Every town and village in this area has at least one park and, the larger towns have several.
This particular one is in Armidale, between the Tourist Information Centre and the RSL Club. It offers a few sculptures, the fountain and some nice trees. When it rains, unlike the three years before I took this shot, you might also get some lovely green grass. For the time being though, they have to put up with the parched reality of drought.

VIDEO: "Jenna Marbles and Magic Tricks" by Chickamungus
I love Jenna Marbles! So jealous you got to meet her. A two hour line? Wow, that puts some PAX lines to shame.
I don't think she was used to all that attention. That line was crazy! So bad that people were just sitting on the floor after a while. When I saw her, she was very very gracious and sweet though. Well worth the line cut!
RAWR! BLARG! www.youtube.com/xCHICKAMUNGUSx

Glossop battles over fate of town's historic gothic hall and new libraryBreaking News
tags: architecture, Guardian (UK), Glossop, Gothic revival
It is probably the only town in Britain campaigning against a new library. But many in Glossop, nestled on the western edge of the Peak District, are very attached to their old one, Victoria Hall, a grand gothic revival hall purpose-built in 1888 on land donated by Francis Edward Howard, 2nd Lord Howard of Glossop.
The hall, which is in need of major renovation after years of neglect, including to its unused upper floor with its retro-sprung dancefloor, is now at the centre of a complex and entrenched battle over a £4m pot of public money waiting to be spent.
High Peak borough council is trustee of Victoria Hall but leases the ground floor for free to Derbyshire county council, the library service authority....

Helping new students feel at home
Members of Cat Crew are student volunteers that help facilitate UNI Now, an extended orientation program for new students. These volunteers move into the residence halls a week before the start of classes and undergo two days of training before spending the rest of the week with freshmen and transfer students.
Going to college can be somewhat of an emotional roller coaster. Once you step on campus, you've opened yourself up to a whole new world of possibilities, but you can also feel like a stranger in a strange land at times.
