Greetings in the name of Jesus, the Good Shepherd
Algerian Christians have requested our prayers about the situation of a believer appealing against a conviction for evangelising.
On 4th July 2012 a court in Tigzirt tried and convicted Mohamed Ibaouene, in absentia, of "inciting a Muslim with pressure to change his religion". The judge sentenced him to one year's imprisonment and a fine of 50,000 dinars (approximately US$635). It was not until 11th December that Mohamed was informed that a complaint had been made against him and that he had been charged and convicted. (Mohamed had married and moved to a different town.) On 15th December he submitted an appeal.
At a hearing held on 13th February, an appeal court judge upheld the conviction, but adjusted the sentence. The jail term was rescinded but the fine was doubled. A further appeal is planned.
This case has been brought under Algeria's law of 2006 on non-Muslim worship.
Algerian Christians supporting Mohamed request our prayers that:
- Mohamed will know the peace and presence of Jesus each day
- He will be cleared of any wrong doing
- The law concerning non-Muslim worship will be repealed or significantly amended
- All officials involved will love mercy, act justly, learn about Jesus and choose to follow Him.

My Cron job is not running and i want to see what's problem in the syslog.
But that log is only showing current date only ,
Is there any way to keep logs for the last 10 days?
The logs are most likely being rotated by the logrotate process. Look in /etc/logrotate.conf. You should see something like this:
Change that to:
You could also do something like this to keep 4 weeks of logs:
Yesterdays log is /var/log/syslog.1. They are rotated daily about 6 in the morning. Previous days logs are syslog.2.gz... Use zless or zgrep to look at the compressed logs.
Data is likely in /var/log/messages as well. This is rotated weekly, and has four weeks of old logs.

Gold Beach is a beautiful town on the southern coast of Oregon. With ocean views, tide pools and wildlife, this spectacular town is a coastal destination. Sitting at the mouth of the famous Rogue River, the town of Gold Beach offers it all - hiking, kayaking, rafting, windsurfing, crabbing, clamming and sport fishing. Gold Beach is a nature lover's and sportsman's paradise in a setting that is both welcoming and beautiful. Your vacation home, cottage or cabin will offer amenities including Internet access, satellite or cable television and a washing machine.
The ocean meets the beach with crashing waves and many opportunities for beachcombing, kite flying and other adventures. Gold Beach's remote location means that the beaches are quiet and pristine, with very little competition for beachcombing finds or room to run with your kite. What makes Gold Beach special is the Rogue River that exits into the sea in the middle of this coastal town. This vibrant river provides many opportunities for recreation on the Oregon coast.
The Rogue River is a mighty river that is famous for salmon fishing, whitewater rafting and unparalleled scenery. Flowing through canyons of volcanic rock, this beautiful river offers many recreational opportunities. You can kayak down the river to your vacation home in Gold Beach or schedule a whitewater tour that will float you towards the ocean. Fly fishermen will find this location to be an irresistible location for hours on the river fishing for salmon, steelhead and trout. Wildlife is abundant and you will see many animals such as deer, elk, bear, beaver, fox and mountain lion.
Dining in Gold Beach includes many delicious options, including coffee, bakeries, pizza and bistros. You can grab a quick bite to eat or sit down for a relaxing meal. Seafood is always a tasty option with the local catch taking a starring role on most restaurant menus. Many restaurants have either river or ocean views to set an enchanting environment for your dining experience.
Oregon is home to many state parks and recreation areas, and the Gold Beach area hosts several of these pristine locations. Otter Point State Recreation Site, Sisters Rock State Park, Humbug Mountain State Park and Port Blanco State Park are all located in the Gold Beach area. Gold Beach is also home to the largest Myrtlewood tree in Oregon.
Cape Blanco State Park sits further west than almost any other area in the contiguous United States. A lighthouse sits at the westernmost point with a historic house also inside the park; both can be explored and toured. This remote, pristine location is a wonderful place for whale watching and birding with many species frequenting the area.
The weather in Gold Beach can be rainy and windy, but this southern part of the Oregon coast is generally warmer and offers more moderate temperatures than the northern Oregon coast. Any time of the year offers comfortable temperatures. A waterproof jacket and shoes will make your outdoor time pleasant.
Gold Beach is a remote location on the Oregon coast, and it is most easily accessed by private or rental car. Commercial flights to Oregon can include Portland International Airport, which is approximately a six-hour drive from Gold Beach. Connecting flights from Portland can bring you to North Bend, which is 80 miles north of Gold Beach. The Medford airport is another option with a 160-mile road trip required to reach Gold Beach. From the California side, you can fly into the San Francisco airport with a connecting flight to Arcata and Eureka. Gold Beach is 110 miles north of this location. Commercial bus service is also available to Gold Beach.

North Korea 'moves second missile' to eastern coast
Latest update : 2013-04-05
North Korea has moved a second medium-range missile to its eastern coast, South Korean media reported on Friday. The Yonhap news agency cited a government official as saying that Pyongyang had now loaded two Musudan missiles onto mobile launch pads.
North Korea has placed two of its intermediate range missiles on mobile launchers and hidden them on the east coast of the country, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported on Friday, citing intelligence sources in South Korea.
The report could not be confirmed, but may be intended to demonstrate a threat by the North to either Japan or to U.S. bases on Guam. The North has threatened to attack bases on Guam if the United States launches a strike on it.
"Early this week, the North has moved two Musudan missiles on the train and placed them on mobile launchers," Yonhap cited a senior military official familiar with the matter as saying.
South Korea's Defence Ministry declined to comment on the report.
There were unconfirmed media reports that the North had moved missiles to the east coast on Thursday, although it was not clear what kind of missiles had been deployed.
- N. Korea fires three ballistic missiles, says South
- North Korea tests submarine missile, a failure says Seoul
- US urges 'united' UN condemnation of North Korea missile launches
- North Korea fires second missile in defiance of UN resolutions
- Attempted North Korea missile launch fails, says South
- BBC journalist expelled for 'insulting dignity' of N. Korea
- North Korea's Kim says will not use nuclear arms unless threatened
- 'No weddings, no funerals in North Korea so Kim Jong-un can party'
- North Korea fires two short-range missiles
Speculation has centred on two kinds of missiles neither of which is known to have been tested.
One was the so-called Musudan missile which South Korea's Defence Ministry estimates has a range of up to 3,000 km (1,865 miles), the other is called the KN-08, which is believed to be an inter-continental ballistic missile, which is again untested.
South Korea's defence minister has said he does not believe the missile that was moved was the KN-08.
North Korea has slowly and steadily improved its missile capabilities in recent years and U.S. officials say its missiles may be capable of hitting outlying U.S. territories and states, including Guam, Alaska and Hawaii.
Some private experts say even this view is alarmist.
There is no evidence, the officials say, that North Korea has tested the complex art of miniaturising a nuclear weapon to be placed on a long-range missile, a capability the United States, Russia, China and others achieved decades ago.
North Korea has been engaged in month-long war of words with the United States and South Korea in the wake of Washington-led sanctions imposed for its February nuclear test.
It has threatened to stage a nuclear strike on the United States, to attack bases on Guam and said a state of war exists on the Korean peninsula.

Once cystic fibrosis of the pancreas had been recognized as a clinical and pathological entity, histological alteration of the liver was found to be a common feature of the total process1-3 with qualitative and quantitative differences. The basic liver lesions described have included liver-cell atrophy, fatty metamorphosis, periportal fibrosis, and proliferation of the bile ducts, often distended by obstructing bile plugs.1-7 In certain more advanced cases, a focal biliary cirrhosis was found, and this has been considered by most to be due to the focal obstructive lesions resulting from the altered and inspissated bile-containing mucus plugs in the dilated terminal radicles.1-3,5,7-13*
This report is a review of the clinical records and postmortem material of 198 autopsied cases of cystic fibrosis of the pancreas. An attempt is made to define the liver changes, to indicate the pathogenesis, and to relate their changes noted to the total clinical picture

At the beginning of the 21st century, Poland can still be examined in the context of a political and economic transformation. The building of democracy and the intentional, ongoing reshaping of the Polish economy in the direction of a market economy are exerting significant influences on a wide range of issues that are affecting contemporary life. This article examines how these changes have affected women, men, and children as members of contemporary families. The article places the transformation to a market economy and to democracy within the context of the historical economic and social forces that have affected all modern states and concludes with a discussion of the potential short and long run impact of Poland's entry in the European Union.

Police detained 14 people including opposition politician Ilya Yashin at a sit-in protest against President Vladimir Putin Wednesday in Moscow's popular Gorky Park.
Police swiftly detained protestors including Yashin, who regularly speaks at protest rallies, after they attempted to hold a sit-in protest at the park.
"They put me into a police van for clapping," Yashin wrote on Twitter, saying 12 detainees were taken to a police station.
Two other protestors were detained separately, Left Front radical group wrote on Twitter.
The protest involving around 50 activists came after thousands turned out for a sanctioned rally condemning Putin in central Moscow on Monday.
The protest, called "Occupy Gorky", was announced on Facebook.
The organisers said the protest "signals the beginning of an unlimited struggle for city spaces, for freedom of speech, for political rights -- for everything the Putin system is methodically taking away from us."
Gorky Park this month opened a site where the public are allowed to give political speeches, loosely based on Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park in London.
It has been criticised by the opposition as a token gesture to justify refusing rally requests.

Hyperplane separation theorem
In geometry, the hyperplane separation theorem is either of two theorems about disjoint convex sets in n-dimensional Euclidean space. In the first version of the theorem, if both these sets are closed and at least one of them is compact, then there is a hyperplane in between them and even two parallel hyperplanes in between them separated by a gap. In the second version, if both disjoint convex sets are open, then there is a hyperplane in between them, but not necessarily any gap. An axis which is orthogonal to a separating hyperplane is a separating axis, because the orthogonal projections of the convex bodies onto the axis are disjoint.
The hyperplane separation theorem is due to Hermann Minkowski. The Hahn–Banach separation theorem generalizes the result to topological vector spaces.
A related result is the supporting hyperplane theorem. In geometry, a maximum-margin hyperplane is a hyperplane which separates two 'clouds' of points and is at equal distance from the two. The margin between the hyperplane and the clouds is maximal. See the article on Support Vector Machines for more details.
Statements and proof[edit]
Hyperplane separation theorem[1] — Let A and B be two disjoint nonempty convex subsets of Rn. Then there exists a nonzero vector v and a real number c such that
for all x in A and y in B; i.e., the hyperplane , v the normal vector, separates A and B.
The proof is based on the following lemma:
Lemma — Let K be a nonempty closed convex subset of Rn. Then there exists a unique vector in K of minimum norm (length).
Proof of lemma: Let Let be a sequence in K such that . Note that is in K since K is convex and so . Since
as , is a Cauchy sequence and so has limit x in K. It is unique since if y is in K and has norm δ, thenand x = y.
Proof of theorem: Given disjoint nonempty convex sets A, B, let
Since is convex and the sum of convex sets is convex, K is convex. By the lemma, the closure of K, which is convex, contains a vector v of minimum norm. Since is convex, for any x in K, the line segment
lies in and so
- .
For , we thus have:
and letting gives: . Hence, for any x in A and y in B, we have: . Thus, if v is nonzero, the proof is complete since
In general, if the interior of K is nonempty, then it can be exhausted by compact convex subsets . Since 0 is not in K, each contains a nonzero vector of minimum length and by the argument in the early part, we have: for any . We also normalize them to have length one; then the sequence contains a convergent subsequence with limit v, which has length one and is nonzero. We have for any x in the interior of K and by continuity the same holds for all x in K. We now finish the proof as before. Finally, if K has empty interior, the affine set that it spans has dimension less than that of the whole space. Consequently K is contained in some hyperplane ; thus, for all x in K and we finish the proof as before.
The above proof also proves the first version of the theorem mentioned in the lede (to see it, note that K is closed under the hypothesis below.)
Separation theorem I — Let A and B be two disjoint nonempty closed convex sets, one of which is compact. Then there exists a nonzero vector v and real numbers such that
for all x in A and y in B.
Here, the compactness in the hypothesis cannot be relaxed; see an example in the next section. Also,
Separation theorem II — Let A and B be two disjoint nonempty convex sets. If A is open, then there exists a nonzero vector v and real number such that
for all x in A and y in B.
This follows from the standard version since the separating hyperplane cannot intersect the interiors of the convex sets.
Converse of theorem[edit]
If there exists a hyperplane that separates two sets A and B, it does not imply that A and B have no intersection. Let A and B be subsets of R and . In this case, A and B intersect at 0, and the line is a separating hyperplane for the two sets. Therefore, the converse of the separating hyperplane theorem does not hold. However, it is possible to derive further separation theorems by imposing additional constraints on the two sets.
Counterexamples and uniqueness[edit]
If one of A or B is not convex, then there are many possible counterexamples. For example, A and B could be concentric circles. A more subtle counterexample is one in which A and B are both closed but neither one is compact. For example, if A is a closed half plane and B is bounded by one arm of a hyperbola, then there is no strictly separating hyperplane:
(Although, by an instance of the second theorem, there is a hyperplane that separates their interiors.) Another type of counterexample has A compact and B open. For example, A can be a closed square and B can be an open square that touches A.
In the first version of the theorem, evidently the separating hyperplane is never unique. In the second version, it may or may not be unique. Technically a separating axis is never unique because it can be translated; in the second version of the theorem, a separating axis can be unique up to translation.
Use in collision detection[edit]
The separating axis theorem (SAT) says that:
Two convex objects do not overlap if there exists a line (called axis) onto which the two objects' projections do not overlap.
SAT suggests an algorithm for testing whether two convex solids intersect or not.
Regardless of dimensionality, the separating axis is always a line. For example, in 3D, the space is separated by planes, but the separating axis is perpendicular to the separating plane.
The separating axis theorem can be applied for fast collision detection between polygon meshes. Each face's normal or other feature directions is used as a separating axis, as well as the cross products. Note that this yields possible separating axes, not separating lines/planes.
If the cross products were not used, certain edge-on-edge non-colliding cases would be treated as colliding. For increased efficiency, parallel axes may be calculated as a single axis.

WEST MILFORD, N.J. (February 5, 2013)--A loyal Labrador retriever named Kentucky is credited with helping searchers find the body of its owner, who died while hiking in a nature preserve in northern New Jersey.
West Milford, N.J. police told The Associated Press that a search team saw the dog's eyes reflecting off headlamps during a search late Saturday of the heavily wooded and hilly Apshawa Preserve.
Nearby, the team found the body of Bjoern Waalberg, 51, who evidently died just hours earlier.
Police say Waalberg and his dog set out for the hike mid-afternoon Saturday.
The man's wife alerted authorities just after 7 p.m. when he did not return.
His body was found just before 10 p.m., with his dog close by.
Authorities say the hiker's death does not appear to be suspicious.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
What Is Brucellosis?
In this article
Can I Get Brucellosis From My Dog?
Dogs can become infected with B. canis. Some pet owners have developed brucellosis this way but the disease is usually mild. There is at least one known case of brucellosis spreading to a human by a dog bite. But spreading brucellosis this way is uncommon. Most dogs infected with Brucella do NOT spread the bacteria to their owners.
You are more likely to get brucellosis from an infected dog if you come in contact with blood or other fluids from the animal. Veterinarians have an increased risk of brucellosis.
If you have a weakened immune system due to medications or certain diseases, you should not touch dogs that are infected with Brucella.
What Are the Risk Factors for Brucellosis?
In the U.S., brucellosis is more common in men. Men who become sick with the disease most often work or have worked around livestock. Brucellosis is uncommon in children.
You are more likely to get brucellosis if you:
- Eat or drink unpasteurized dairy products from cows, goats, or other animals that are infected with the bacteria
- Eat other unpasteurized cheeses called "village cheeses." These come from high-risk regions, including the Mediterranean
- Travel to areas where Brucella is common
- Work in a meat-processing plant or slaughterhouse
- Work on a farm
Brucellosis has also been reported in:
- Hunters in the U.S.
- Veterinarians who have immunized cattle with the Brucellavaccine
What Are the Symptoms of Brucellosis?
General symptoms of brucellosis are often vague and similar to the flu. They may include:
- Fever (the most common symptom, with high "spikes" that usually occur in the afternoon)
- Back pain
- Body-wide aches and pains
- Poor appetite and weight loss
- Headache
- Night sweats
- Weakness
- Abdominal pain
- Cough
Symptoms usually appear within five to 30 days after you come in contact with the bacteria. How bad your symptoms are depends on what type of Brucella is making you sick:
- B. abortus usually causes mild or moderate symptoms, but they are more likely to become chronic (long-lasting).
- B. canis symptoms may come and go. They are similar to B. abortus infection, although people with B. canis often have vomiting and diarrhea.
- B. suis may cause areas of infection (called abscesses) in different organs.
- B. melitensis may cause sudden and severe symptoms, which may lead to disability.

The following is a very astute observation by the editor of dictatorshipwatch and it cannot be glossed over:
"The truth: The warlords in Washington, London and Tel Aviv do not want less radicalization in the Muslim world. They want more. If there is not enough, they will make sure more people get angry. The more Muslims are against their policies and the puppets they impose on the masses, the more the warlords are able to justify the totalitarian, expansionists policies." ( Dictatorshipwatch.com January 11, 2009)
To understand why this observation is so profound, and in fact, penetrates to the heart of the matter, please see this Project Humanbeingsfirst's response to an oped which appeared in the Financial Times in December 2008. It was the first time in recent memory, to this scribe's knowledge, certainly since 911, that a very respected mainstream newspaper which is read by the who's who of the entire world, and not just the financial mainstream, had put it all together to test the waters. Project Humanbeingsfirst was immediately on the tail of this bogeyman:
Response to Financial Times Gideon Rachman's 'And now for a world government' (MUST READ)
And the reason betrayed in that title is the overarching reason for such blatant radicalization – while achieving all the local agendas. Those pushing for world-government, and who have manufactured all the pretexts for it, are also the same peoples who share in the aspiration of Zion – "A Zion that will light up all the world".
To understand the depth of anger and rage that is percolating through the "global zone of percolating violence" among the peoples (if not their ruling-elite who are likely in on the game), and to understand its premeditation, please see Brzezinski's map with that title on page 53 in his baby-step blueprint: "The Grand Chessboard – American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives". The fact, that it was a baby-step blue-print for the destruction of the United States as a nation-state towards a world-government of its oligarchs, only became apparent a few years ago and not when the book was published in 1996. It was also not apparent when this scribe unraveled it completely in his 2003 book of protest against the Iraq invasion "Prisoners of the Cave". See this self-fulfilling statement, pages 52-53 next to the map, from Zbigniew Brzezinski – the grandmaster behind Obama's rise to power:
"This huge region, torn by volatile hatreds and surrounded by competing powerful neighbors, is likely to be a major battlefield, both for wars among nation-states and, more likely, for protracted ethnic and religious violence."
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Create the pretext for violence, then justify its existence with "doctrinal motivation, intellectual commitment, and patriotic gratification" ( Brzezinski ), go to destructive wars disguised as "self-defense", and elicit the predictable reactions, and then propose the solution which will lead to the the desired overarching outcome. Since by itself, military wars do not lend themselves to the full spectrum global conquest, there is also the Financial collapse for which, global banking is the proposed solution, and the global warming, for which carbon-credits is the proposed solution. To understand why and how it all comes together, please start with the solution that was unabashedly floated by the Financial Times and visit the Monetary Reform Bibliography.
This is an intellectual war for full spectrum dominance, nay conquest, of the planet. It is not just for the control of its resources, but control over all human beings culminating in our systematic elimination for drastic population reduction. Unless the peoples worldwide begin to look at the insanely murderous and genocidal 'katputli tamashas' with the proper forensic lenses that are also rooted in Western intellectualism which seeds these 'tamashas', they cannot counter it effectively. This is neither about Islam nor about Muslims. But about creating all the right conditions for world government, and Islam and Muslims, among others, plainly provide the most galvanizing fodder-pretext.
If that is the case, and it isn't the 'radical Islamists' out to create their antediluvian 'Taliban-Khilafat', then people have to stop being divisive among ourselves, stop being misled by all and sundry circus-clowns who raise the flag of "Islamism", who lump genuine self-defense with "al qaeeda", who lump genuine protest and activism with "terrorism", and start focussing on the common enemy of all humanity.

Wemotaci (designated as Weymontachie 23 until 1997) is a First Nations reserve on the north shore of the Saint-Maurice River at the mouth of the Manouane River (La Tuque) in the Mauricie region of Quebec, Canada. Together with the Coucoucache Indian Reserve No. 24, it belongs to the Atikamekw First Nation.[3]
The reserve, an enclave within the City of La Tuque, is bordered to the west and south by the Saint-Maurice River, whereas its eastern boundary is about 3.8 kilometres (2.4 mi) long, and its northern boundary is 7.8 kilometres (4.8 mi). It is accessible by gravel road from La Tuque's town centre through the hamlet of Sanmaur that is on the opposite shore of the Saint-Maurice River. Also at this location, the Canadian National Railway crosses the river and has a siding at Sanmaur.
The local economy is based on the art and craft, shops and services, forestry, trapping, construction, tourism, transport and outfitters.
Like many other native names, Wemotaci underwent many spelling variations over time. The oldest reference to the toponym is from 1724. In 1827, it was written as Montachene, and in 1829 as Weymontachinque, in 1830 as Waimootansking, in 1832 as Weymontachingue and Warmontashingen, in 1837 as Warmontaching. The 1932 spelling of Weymontachingue on the map of John Arrowsmith became the most common form until 1986, when it was replaced by Weymontachie, as demanded by the local band council. The standardized writing of the Atikamekw language spells it as Wemotaci, which was made official in March 1997.[4]
The area of the upper Saint-Maurice River had long been the homeland and hunting grounds of the Atikamekw indigenous people. Some sources claim that the North West Company had already established a trading post at this place between 1770 and 1780, but this remains doubtful. Confirmation of the existence of a trading post at Wemotaci came in 1806, when Jean-Baptiste Perrault built the first structures for fur trading. In 1821, the post was taken over by the Hudson's Bay Company.[4]
In 1851, the Government enacted the allotment of 230,000 acres (930 km2) of land as reserves for the use and benefit of the "Indian" tribes residing in Lower Canada. Two years later, these lands were distributed among the Atikamekw, Algonquins, and Abenakis by John Rolph, Commissioner of Crown Lands. On August 9, 1853, this was made official by the Governor General in Council.[5]
But the Atikamekw didn't give up their nomadic life and settle on the reserve. And it wasn't until 1895 that the reserve was surveyed. The construction of a dam and the National Transcontinental Railway led to the growth of the Sanmaur settlement, which in turn attracted the Atikamekw to the reserve at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1939 however, the Hudson's Bay Company left Weymontachingue and due to lack of funding for maintenance of the village, its population stopped growing after 1950, when its inhabitants began to leave and settled either in Sanmaur or in other nearby villages.[4]
In the 1970s, the village revitalized. A new village was built closer to its namesake mountain. In 1971, the Federal Government bought the lands of the Hudson's Bay Company and these were subsequently added to the reserve.[4][5]
In May 2010, many residents of Wemotaci were evacuated as a forest fire threatened their homes.[6]

BRYAN, TX -- The Brazos Valley Bombers fulfilled their promise to Bombers' fans Monday night, defeating the second place Victoria Generals in a close game. The win comes on the night that Anco Insurance guaranteed a Bombers victory or free tickets to all in attendance.
The Bombers got on the board in the second when Morgan Mickan drove home Casey Dykes on a two out RBI single. One batter later, John Cannon brought Mickan home with a double down the first base line to give the Bombers an early 2-0 lead. In the fifth the Bombers scored one more time when Cannon reached home plate on a Wes Patterson RBI double.
On the defensive side, Brian Borski struck out seven Generals' batters while only allowing two base hits in six and two thirds innings of work. Borski's one run allowed came in the sixth on a sacrifice fly. In the eighth the Generals loaded the bases on two walks and a single before Kenny Jackson drew a bases loaded walk to pull the visitors within one run at 3-2.
The Bombers Alec Mills worked out of the jam in the eighth and recorded the first two outs in the ninth before closer Matt Passauer came on to finish the game. The General's Abel Baker belted a ball deep into left field down the baseline, but Greg Olson caught up to it just in time to secure the win for the Bombers.
With the win the Bombers tie their mark for most wins in a season at 23 and open up a two game lead in the Texas Collegiate League standings. After tomorrow's game in Weimar against the TomCats the Bombers will have a day off before they start a two game series with the McKinney Marshals on Thirsty Thursday and Fireworks Friday.

Critic Reviews

- By date
Hopkins and Thompson's downright marvelous duet is supported by a host of deft players, and the detailed re-creation of this small universe is in all ways remarkable.
Looks grand without being overdressed, it is full of feeling without being sentimental. Heres a film for adults. Its also about time to recognize that Mr. Ivory is one of our finest directors. [5 November 1993, p. C1]
A classically polished drama about repressed emotions, self delusion and protracted heartbreak, this Merchant/Ivory movie is one of the most affecting experiences of the year.
Detractors will see the usual parade of repressed feelings in a Masterpiece Theatre setting. Those who look closer will find one of the best films of the year.
An engaging and powerful motion picture, every bit the equal of Merchant Ivory's best work, and certainly the most emotionally-wrenching tale they have brought to the screen.
All the meticulousness, intelligence, taste and superior This curious, cloistered piece... is continuously absorbing but lacks the emotional resonance that would have made it completely satisfying.
Gorgeously lensed and delightfully structured, however, this is, in a word, wonderful.
Though it offers a host of fine performances in a smoothly crafted, adult drama of unfulfilled love, it lacks the cumulative dramatic impact of the team's best work.
This Merchant-Ivory production strains so hard to portray dignified restraint that it almost seizes up with good manners.

Jan 19, 2015Having now seen nearly every Merchany-Ivory film, I can legitimately say that the Remains of the Day remains their best one, by a longHaving now seen nearly every Merchany-Ivory film, I can legitimately say that the Remains of the Day remains their best one, by a long distance. If you lack patience, you'll never be able to appreciate the subtle strength of this film. The poignancy in the Remains of the Day doesn't arise because we're able to connect with our characters and understand their actions. On the contrary, the part of the movie that I found most emotionally frustrating was my inability to comprehend Stevens (Brilliantly played by Anthony Hopkins) and his line of thought. But Anthony Hopkins clearly apprehends who Stevens is at his core and who he's trying to be. He's a man obsessed with his job, adamant about his role in Lord Darlington's House and resolute about his place in the world. He won't have anyone change his ways. He can't because that's all he knows how to do; that's all he ever does. He doesn't think too much about himself, perhaps because neither does anyone else. Miss Kenton (played by the impeccable Emma Thompson), the new housekeeper, unintentionally ignites the hidden fires within Stevens, of which he knew nothing about. Both fell for each other, neither prepared to take the first step. Not much happens in the remains of the day but whatever does happen, is felt intensely. Mr. Ivory cleverly doesn't sentimentalize or condemn: he merely captures as a passive observer. Was it Stevens' fear or his pride that triggered his dishonesty with himself about himself. He refuses to accept that he was falling in love with Miss Kenton.
The Remains of the Day is exasperating right to the very end but it stays true to its characters all the way through. Not all love stories have a happy ending. As we've seen with Stevens and Miss Kenton, sometimes people just give up or are too afraid to know what comes next.… Full Review »

I am open-minded and enthusiastic. I have a great combination of thoughtful creativity and leadership. A sensitive soul with an expressive nature, I tend to be quite a romantic at heart. Sometimes I love nothing more than escaping into my very own dreamworld. Spontaneous new experiences can be really inspiring to me and I like exploring my creative side from time to time. My natural tendency to look on the bright side always helps! I like adventure and original experiences that stimulate and challenge my status quo.
I am an adventurer at heart, and love to see new places when I get the chance. I love music. My life is definitely set to a soundtrack. The atmosphere and energy of a live gig makes me tick. There's just something amazing and uplifting about seeing a great musician play that I can't get through a pair of speakers.
I am quite intuitive and find the beauty of nature visually inspiring. For me, getting away from it all means just that. Escaping into nature and heading off the beaten track is what I live for. It's the perfect way to unwind and recharge those batteries. And let's face it: Sitting out under the stars can be very romantic!

Product Description
This O-ring is made of Buna-nitrile (also called Buna-N), round in cross-section, has a durometer of 70A, and is designed for use in a wide variety of sealing applications.
Buna-nitrile can have high tensile strength, resistance to abrasion, tear, and compression set resistance. It is acceptable for temperature applications between -30 degrees F (-34 degrees C) to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C). It is compatible for use with petroleum, HFA, HFB, and HFC fluids, vegetable oil, alcohol, acids, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Buna-nitrile is vulnerable to acetone, ethers, esters, ozone, sunlight, and weathering, and should therefore not be used in ozone-generating electric motors, welding equipment, or in applications with exposure to UV light.
This O-ring has a shore durometer of 70A. Shore durometer is the hardness of a material, and its resistance to permanent indentation. A higher durometer value indicates greater resistance to indentation on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 indicating no indentation.
O-rings commonly provide a pressure and fluid seal between cylindrically shaped, overlapping mating surfaces and are commonly seen in engines, faucets, flanges, valves and cylinders of various sorts. They are circular in shape, with a round cross section and a hole in the center, similar to a doughnut. O-rings are available in a number of sizes, and can be ordered based on required nominal inside diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), and cross-sectional (CS) diameter.

With the key remover that came with the keyboard, they were very easy to install. It only took me about 30 minutes to do my full sized keyboard. The only tricky part was removing and re-installing the brackets for the larger keys.
This simple mod dramatically improved the feel of my already amazing Cherry MX Blue keys, and reduced the ridiculous amount of noise that they produce.
They work fine. They were packaged well. They arrived on time.

Player Updates and "Sources"
The one thing I'm disliking more and more are the "sources" that are used to spill the news. Sources say player A is close to a deal with team X. Five minutes later, a different baseball writer/insider finds out from sources that the information is false and player A and team X haven't even spoken in two days. As far as sources are concerned, I'd rather they keep their mouths shut rather than trying to be the guy to "break" the news about a signing. Or be the guy that got to talk to Buster Olney, so I HAVE to tell him something.
This is just a precursor to the rest of the post. Mainly as a warning that I'm taking the sources out of the equation. That's not to say I'm blatantly disregarding any and all news where a source is quoted, but I'm not going to rely on source gossip to come to a conclusion. Probably. To the jump!
Before I forget, Jason Bay was signed by the Mariners for 1 year at $1 million. So yay for that. That was the only thing that happened during the winter meetings for the Mariners and hey, whatever. He was a cheap free agent that will sit on the bench most of the time unless Guti steps on a thorn or something. Even then, Casper Wells would be the first player in there. One would assume anyway.
Bay was not the big offensive signing that everybody was expecting, obviously. The Mariners still need the right pieces to fill in the gaps and Bay happened to be a cheap little broken piece that they could sign easily. If it turns out to be the only "big" signing as far as offense goes, it will be a major disappointment (and maddeningly infuriating) for all fans of this particular sports team. Trades are still possible and there are a few more free agents that could be signed. Which brings me to the next paragraph.
A lot of the stories out there have the Mariners close to signing Josh Hamilton. Others have the Mariners not close at all and may not happen. See what I mean about the sources? What we do know for sure is that he's still available and looking for a dance partner. Which sounds strange, but metaphors usually are. Whether the Mariners are close or not, everything hinges on what the Rangers do next.
Speaking of the Rangers, it may sound exceedingly odd, but this may be a time to actually root for the Rangers to acquire a big time player who does not go by the name Josh Hamilton. The Justin Upton 3 or 4 team deal is still alive, but is currently on hold since one of the GM's involved in the deal is having second thoughts, supposedly. The Rangers are also pushing hard to sign Zack Greinke and wow. If you had told me a month ago that the Dodgers may not be able to outbid another team for a player, I would have laughed in your face. The way things are looking, that just may be the case due to tax stuff that I won't even pretend to understand.
What it comes down to is what happens with the Rangers. If they sign Greinke or acquire Upton, the odds they would be able to afford Hamilton on top of that are slim and none. All that means really is that there would be one less team in on Hamilton, but it's a fairly big domino to move out of the way. Other possibilities include the Brewers. They haven't been mentioned much in any kind of mentions with regard to Hamilton, but I doubt he'd sign as soon as he found out the Rangers were out of it.
All of this is to say, yes, the Mariners still have a chance once the dominoes start falling. No, it is not automatic that they'd wind up the lone team in on Hamilton. They may be the favorites, but again, that's not a guarantee either. As fans, we're all doing our own guesswork. It may be semi-informed guesswork, but it's still strictly guesswork.
There are always other possibilities out there for the Mariners to sign, such as Bourn and Swisher, but they're not the same kind of hitter Hamilton is, nor are they exactly mashers in the strict sense of the word. Swisher can hit, yes, but he's not a 40 home run player whereas we know Hamilton has that ability in him. Bourn, on the other hand, bases his game on speed. It would be nice to put a speed guy at the top of the lineup to replace Ichiro, but that would still leave the problem of having somebody in the lineup to push him across the plate.
I've gone over Hamilton on two other occasions and going back through the numbers and spitting them back out at you would be redundant. To put it in a nutshell, his plate discipline dropped somewhat in 2012 compared to years past. It could be an anomaly, or it could be a trend. The problem is that we won't know which it is until 2013 is well underway. If it's a trend and he signs with somebody else, ha ha on them. If it's a trend and he's with the Mariners, it will not be a fun ride down that road.
The best we can do now is sit back, wait and see where all of the pieces start landing. Once Greinke lands with a particular team, things could start moving a lot more quickly. Fingers will be crossed, rabbit's feet will be rubbed, four-leaf clovers will be plucked, lucky pennies will be picked up and kept in close proximity. We sit, we wait, we hope.

I think Hamilton is great don't get me wrong but I think for the Ms to really be competitive they need two bats. I would prefer Swisher and why not swing a trade for Granderson? Also as far as pitching and bench I would like to see Jair Jurrjens and Casey McGeheeReplyDelete
With Granderson, you'd be giving up prospects rather than paying Hamilton outright. They have the payroll flexibility and wouldn't have to give up prospects. And Granderson's numbers have been inflated some from the short porch in right at Yankee Stadium. Jurrjens has been all over the map. Maybe if you can get him on a minor league deal with a spring invite. I'd bet they'll do something similar to last year. 1 year contract for a veteran to hold a spot until Hultzen, Walker or Paxton is ready. McGehee would be interesting as a bench guy. Not sure he'd be worth the roughly $3+ million though he'll likely get in arbitration. A couple of interesting ideas for sure though. Personally, I think Montero, Hamilton and Seager in the middle of the lineup is decent. If Smoak's September carries over, Hamilton would probably be enough. Not holding my breath, but one can hope. At any rate, you could be right on the money for all I know. We won't really know until the end of June in '13. At this point, I'd be happy if they signed a guy that knew you have to hit the white and red round thing the big dude is throwing to another dude behind a white plate type thingy.ReplyDelete

Artist biography
French sculptor, draughtsman and engraver. Born in Paris. Studied at the Petite Ecole under Lecoq de Boisbaudran 1854-7; began to model. After failing to obtain entry to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, worked for some years as an ornamental mason and under Carrier-Belleuse at the Sèvres porcelain factory. In Brussels 1871-7 engaged mainly on decorative sculpture for the Brussels Exchange; continued his own work in the evenings. Visited Italy in 1875 to study Michaelangelo. Exhibited 'The Age of Bronze' in Brussels and Paris in 1877, and was accused of having cast it from life but finally vindicated. 'St John the Baptist' 1878-80 was his next major sculpture. In 1880 was commissioned to make a monumental portal and doors with sculptured reliefs for the Musée des Arts Décoratifs: this project, known as 'The Gates of Hell', occupied him for more than twenty years and contained nearly 180 figures, many of which were also treated separately on a scale up to or larger than life. 'The Burghers of Calais', influenced by Gothic art, met with much criticism and his monument to Balzac was refused in 1898 by the Société des Gens de Lettres. First one-man exhibition with Monet at the Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, in 1889, but full recognition only came after he organised a large exhibition of his works during the Paris International Exhibition of 1900. From then on was in great demand internationally for portrait busts and other commissions; also made numerous drawings and watercolours from the nude model. Died at Meudon. He presented the works in his possession to the French Government to form a Musée Rodin.

HOBBS, N.M. - Micah Seth Wheat entered the world the same way many other babies do.
The child, born at 3:31 p.m. Feb. 20, brought joy and smiles to faces of his parents and a crowd of well-wishers gathered around the nursery window. And his father, who is youth minister at Taylor Memorial Baptist Church in Hobbs, gave the child's mother a kiss as he handed the newborn to her, just as many other husbands and new fathers have probably done.
Most newborns, however, don't have a four-man Japanese film crew on hand to record their entry into the world and broadcast it on Japan's national television network. But the 7-pound, 4.4 ounce baby boy, born to Melinda and Richard "Buck" Wheat at Lea Regional Medical Center, did.
So why would the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation, or NHK as it's called in Japan, care enough about a child born in Hobbs to send a film crew to America?
Micah Wheat is the first child in New Mexico, and one of fewer than a dozen in the United States, born via a process that may solve some thorny issues created by advances in fertility treatment, particularly in vitro fertilization.
Commonly, couples will create "extra" embryos in preparation for the procedure, and those extras are often simply disposed of, donated to science or left in storage. Nightlight Christian Adoptions, the agency the Wheats used to arrange their adoption, estimates 150,000-200,000 embryos are currently in storage around the United States.
These options don't sit well with those who believe human life begins at conception, and the California-based adoption agency believes it found an alternative it began arranging adoptions for these embryos. The process, referred to as a snowflake adoption, gives the genetic parents control over who receives their embryos instead of a doctor at a clinic.
Nightlife Christian Adoptions is the only agency in the nation that handles snowflake adoptions. It was this solution to a medical ethical dilemma that brought the Japanese film crew to Hobbs to film a documentary about fertility ethics.
The crew has followed the Wheats for nearly three weeks, and expects the documentary to air sometime this spring. The documentary, however, will not air in the United States.
"Japanese people don't think of adoption," said Satoshi Kamiya, a producer with the film crew. "For us, its a strange way of thinking."
While he said adoptions do occur in Japan, Kenshi Fukuhara, also with the film crew, said the option is a bit unusual.
"For people in Japan the bond of the genetic family is more important," Fukuhara said. The courts in the United States treat embryos as property, but the adoption agency for ethical reasons handles the process just like a traditional adoption, including a home study at the Wheats' home.
"We had to go through a complete home study," said Melinda Wheat. "(But) what we had at the end was not a baby, but frozen embryos."
Once the home study had been completed, the Wheats visited a clinic in California to have the frozen embryo implanted. The Wheats adopted eight embryos, but only four survived the thawing process, and only one of those four was successfully implanted.
The genetic parents, the ones who left the frozen embryos, and the Wheats have been in contact.
"They know who we are and we know who they are," Melinda Wheat said. "They were given the opportunity to say, 'Yes, we want them to parent our child just like a regular open adoption.' ''
Why would the Wheats allow so much media attention for their son's birth? The answer is simple: It lets them share a message they believe important.
"Life itself is a miracle. God opened up doors for us to let this become a reality in our lives; for us to keep it quiet would not give him the glory," Richard Wheat said. "We really wanted God to be honored through this, and this is another opportunity for someone else who doesn't know about this process."
In addition to helping to solve the ethical problems raised by modern fertility techniques, the snowflake adoption was the Wheats' last try.
"We had decided that we were not going to pursue anything else," Melinda Wheat said. "We weren't going to do anything more to have children."
Although there were still other techniques they had not tried yet, Richard Wheat said they did not feel comfortable ethically with those choices.
"We did the things we were comfortable with," he said. "And we didn't do the things we weren't. Each couple should do what they are comfortable with."
Medical ethics aside, having a baby even without a Japanese film crew tagging along is exciting.
"I don't think I ever dreamed it would be as exciting as it is," an exhausted Melinda Wheat said from her hospital bed. "But I will be more excited when I get to hold him."
Richard Wheat obviously enjoyed being a father. He spent so much time with his child in the nursery, bathing him and holding him up for Melinda to see through the window that Micah's mother playfully commented that "his father is hogging him."
And, of course, the new father was excited. "Much more than I anticipated, and I had high expectations," Richard Wheat said. "I love it. I think everyone should be a dad."
