Of all the superlative labels attached to Charleston—"most polite city," "best place to live," "top spot to visit"—the least talked about may be the only one that really matters: "most homeless." A study conducted for the Conference of Mayors revealed that between 2010 and 2011, of 29 U.S. cities surveyed, Charleston had the greatest percentage increase of families experiencing homelessness—150 percent. The following school year (2011-2012), Charleston County School District documented 700 homeless children in its classrooms. Here, we move beyond the statistics by meeting two local families whose road to the American Dream took an unexpected detour through homelessness.

I have an exciting project to share with farmers and hunters. As many of you know a lot of turkey, ducks and song birds nest in hay fields where they may fail to fledge young or even be killed by hay mowers. Changes in the way hay is managed lead us to look at new ways to deploy an old tool, the flushing bar. I am running a project for 2012 to try out some of these tools on fast modern mowers in 2012. You can track progress at the web site
I hope to be able to accept contributions at this site later this month. I am still looking for farmers to participate, especially those running trailed disk mowers and swing tounge mowers. Bars will be provided free of charge and other practices are also available for cost share.

We know where our elected representitives in Washington stand. I've written many letters to my reps/senators and I know where they stand. It's important now more than ever to remember what those letters said. I, for one, will be vigilent in remembering what those that favored stripping me of my constitutional rights said to me. This isn't over and probably never will be. We must do all we can to make sure that these enemies of free men are not sitting in Washington in the years to come.
Right leaning, smart, successful with good looking women that shave their legs and armpits, it's just more than a hippie can handle!!!!!!
No need to feel sorrow for misspelling.
I can't believe what my "auto-correct" comes up with, better imagination than me!!!!

Princeton Plasma Physics Lab names Fischer CFO
Posted July 1, 2013; 10:15 a.m.
Just a few weeks into her new job as the chief financial officer of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Kristen Fischer is settling into the challenging role of overseeing a budget of approximately $85 million and managing all financial operations of the lab. And she's bringing her own outgoing style to the task as she forges relationships with people inside and outside PPPL.
She admits that "there's a learning curve" when she faces tasks like trying to procure supplies for a magnetic coil that will be built at the laboratory and then shipped for use on the massive international ITER fusion experiment in Cadarache, France. "That's part of why I came here — because I felt I can apply my skills to different challenges," she said.
Fischer has made it her mission both to figure out how the lab works and to meet her co-workers. She has been making the rounds of departments to introduce herself and talk to staff about what they do. She also has been building relationships with key people at the U.S. Department of Energy and at the University.
"I am very approachable and open to people's suggestions and ideas for improvement," she said. "I have an open door policy. I'm friendly — please say hello to me if you see me! As far as managerial style, I am a good listener and I want to learn, so please be patient and educate me."

Why one Chevy dealer REALLY loves the new Corvette Stingray
Many people liked Chevrolet's decision to badge its next-generation Corvette with the throwback Stingray name. Steve Hurley really liked it.
He's dealer principal at Stingray Chevrolet in Plant City, Fla.
"It plays into our hands perfectly," says Hurley. "When people hear there's a dealership called Stingray Chevrolet, how will they not think that it's the perfect place to come in and get the new Corvette?"
Not that Hurley needed the marketing boost.
In 2011 he was one of the country's top Corvette dealers, having sold nearly 200 of them. Last year Stingray slipped a little, selling 119 Vettes. (Hurley attributes the decline to other big Corvette dealers aggressively moving the outgoing model so they'll be allocated more of the next-gen Vette under General Motors' turn-and-earn allocation system).
Hurley, 50, owns the dealership along with business partner Tom Durant, owner of Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine, Texas, the nation's largest Chevy store by volume. They bought the Plant City store in late 2008 as part of Bill Heard Enterprises Inc.'s 14-store bankruptcy liquidation.
At the time, Hurley was stunned to learn that the Stingray name -- and the stingraychevrolet.com Web address -- was unclaimed.
Stingray also was partially a nod to the indigenous fish commonly found in Florida waters and the Tampa Bay Rays, whose stadium is a 45-minute drive from the dealership, Hurley says. But with the 2014 Corvette Stingray headed to showrooms by late summer, the commercial tie-in seems prescient.
Hurley says: "We'll be making it really clear in our advertising that the best place to buy the Corvette Stingray is from Stingray Chevrolet."

Latin America's largest cement producer Cemex (CX) posted net loss for the 16th straight quarter today.
Cemex reported $4 billion sales, below the street's consensus of $4.09 billion. Its third-quarter Ebitda was $747 million, also below the consensus $775 million.
However, the misses were not big, and given the recent pullback in the stock, the market already expected it. Cemex's ADR shares gained 4.6% mid-day.
U.S. is Cemex's growth driver. Bloomberg reports:
U.S. sales climbed 7.9 percent to $891 million, and Ebitda almost tripled to $78 million. Revenue in northern Europe advanced 5.8 percent to $1.17 billion, with a 14 percent gain in Ebitda to $162 million.
As I wrote last week, Barclays had a Buy rating despite Mexico's persistent losses, because of a brighter U.S. side.

R.I.P. The Chesterfield, hello Prohibition
Well, it was great fun while it lasted. Let me rephrase that: It was great fun in the beginning, till it started hemorrhaging talented chefs (Michael Ehlert) and co-owner/bartenders (Eddie "Lucky" Campbell). Now the Chesterfield is no more. It has morphed into a "roaring-1920s inspired lounge" called Prohibition.
Ken Kuczwaj, who recently resigned his position as director of operations and marketing at Bailey's Prime Plus (who's owner Edward C. Bailey Enterprises owns the downtown bar), tells me that with a menu of more than 90 craft cocktails, Chesterfield was just unworkable. People would be four or five deep at the bar on a Friday or Saturday night, he says, and they'd have to wait 20 minutes for their drinks. Prohibition, he says, has less of a focus on craft cocktails and a simpler menu.
Michael Ehlert is now chef de cuisine at Hibiscus, which just received a four-star review.

Weekend Winners: Ben Edwards, Sanny Dahlbeck, Suleiman Magomedov, Errol Koning
- Written by Rian Scalia
Aside from having a huge GLORY 5 London card this weekend, there were a lot of other events taking place around the world featuring some notable fighters.
Capital Punishment 7 went down on March 23 in Canberra, Australia and featured the fourth fight between Ben Edwards and Paul Slowinski. Previously, Slowinski held a 2-1 lead in the series heading into the fight. This time it was Edwards who picked up a hard fought decision win to even the score at two wins a piece. Edwards dropped Slowinski in the first round and controlled the second round, but Slowinski wasn't done and came back in the third round and even managed to hurt Edwards with some low kicks. However, it was too late and Edwards had done more than enough in the first two rounds to take the fight.
Heroes Fighting Championship held it's first show in Sweden, also on March 23. The main event featured last year's breakout GLORY fighter Sanny Dahlbeck, who returned to Muay Thai against Mauro Serra of Italy. Dahlbeck got his first win of the year and took a decision.
On Friday, March 22 in Russia, some of the region's top fighters were fighting in Rostov-on-Don at R-1. Dmitry Shakuta moved up in weight to 86kg and took on the fast rising Suleiman Magomedov, who had just fought two weeks prior, beating Halim Chibani in Monte Carlo. From the onset, just like most Shakuta fights, he was a very tricky opponent for Magomedov and the fight played out similarly to Shakuta's fight with Alexander Oleinik at the Tatneft Cup 2011 Finals. The fight went all five rounds but the rounds were only two minutes each. In the end it was a close fight where nothing significant really happened, but Magomedov got the decision win.
Also on the card in Rostov-on-Don was a pretty big upset as Errol Koning avenged a loss to Alexander Stetsurenko, who is currently ranked by GLORY as the promotion's #1 77kg fighter. The first fight between these two took place last year at the Tatneft Cup and Stetsurenko delivered a beating to Koning. This time around Koning got himself a split decision win.
In Thailand on the 23rd, Cheick Sidibe continued to roll, as he stopped Brazil's Marcelo Tenorio in the second round.

Blog | India, Internet, Russia, South Korea, UK
Internet blotter
- Computers belonging to South Korean government officials have been infiltrated by targeted malware in email. Chinese hackers are suspected. Contrary to what this article says, I'm betting that the attachments were PDFs, which are currently the document of choice when attempting to infect journalists' machines.
- Another intriguing academic paper, this time on the structure of the Russian political blogosphere. Commentators continue to post mostly on the LiveJournal platform and are less politically divided than the United States.
- Russian police investigate the Russian-language Wikipedia on suspicion of hosting extremist materials.
- The United Kingdom renews plans to centrally store every source and destination of every email, phone call and website visit for "at least a year"...
- ...while India's home ministry has told mobile phone companies to store every SMS text message for six months. Currently the companies keep messages for just for two days.

This game is sheer awesomeness. At the risk of taking someone else's review, it actually is like Skyrim with guns.
This game is sheer awesomeness. At the risk of taking someone else's review, it actually is like Skyrim with guns.
I would like to hear more from any who bought this game. I am unable to play first person shooters but my brother loves them. I have been on the fence about buying this for him but the problem is he crushes these kind of games fast and then I feel like it wasn't worth the cash. Would love some insight.
Considering trading in Skyrim to help pay for this. Worth it?
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 5
I'm not too far into it yet, but so far it's really fun. I'm not huge on first person shooters, so its taking a little getting used to.
Against my better judgement, i went out and bought Far Cry 3. I barely touched the story and instead explored. I ended up playing most of last night and 6 days have passed in game. Random observations:
- Hunting is compulsive.
- Using a high powered sniper rifle against a deer is far more satisfying than it has any right to be.
- The game has its own eco-system. Animals will "hunt" each other. The game designers putting the Pig area right next to the Rabid Dog area probably wasnt the best idea, but is hilarious.
- On that same thought, a war is going on. Various times ive joined an assault on a small area or had my faction attack the group i was trying to kill for a mission. Interesting.
- Much like Mass Effects Illusive man and Assassin's Creed 3s Hathway Kenway, Vaas steals whatever scene hes in. Iconic character.
- The "tag" system is awesome. Best use of that type of system ive seen in a game. I start out any mission/camp assault by tagging everyone i can.
- The "get twice as many plants from one harvest" is the best skill ive put points into. The "heal 2 bars without medicine" is easily the worst. I also wouldnt recommend the "harvest twice as many skins from a single animal" skill(i skipped it). Gear acquisition isnt to difficult and once i get my gear i cant see skinning every again.
- Insane first person combat mechanics, just outstanding job. Feels organic and fluid, and when i mess up its usually my own fault. It should only get better as i level up. How is it an RPG gets it down better then most FPS?
- How can anyone play this game and NOT go stealth/sniper? Im usually more of a run-and-gun type player, but the stealth in this game is just to useful.
- **** you Komodo dragons. Every single one of you ****ers.
- Ive only done 2 of the 18 towers, but they are pretty awesome. Tricky to navigate but never unfair. Challenging.
- Tigers are walking tanks. I sniped one in the head twice and the body once...still was up and walking around. Had to run in with an assault rifle to down him even after those shots.
- Leopards are no joke either. Easier to kill but holy hell can they down you quick.
Best thing in this game is the random occurrences. Ive stalked along the coast and used a scope to zoom intoa sheltered area to see pirates executing helpless hostages. Ive been hunting and heard prisoners pleading for their life as they are held at gunpoint forced to march towards a slave camp. Ive fought pirates in the open only for a animal to "clever girl" me. The way the game keeps you guessing and lets you witness how unethical these people are is awesome.
Worst thing? Komodo dragons. **** those things.
I have no idea if this game will keep my interest. Im notoriously awful at finishing or even getting my moneys worth out of open world games. As well, im not the biggest fan of first person shooters. But so far im hooked. So far i plan on putting points into all the trees but focusing on a medic/sniper type build.
Would like to see how others are playing it and what they are focusing on. Valandui?
Nina told me I can only get one new game over the next few weeks, and I was leaning towards waiting for Dead Space 3. I tend to agree with Spesh when it comes to Xbox games though, so I might have to pick this up instead and figure out a way to ninja Dead Space 3 in February. Risky though. I'd rather not go a week without sex, and that's what I'm up against...
Anyways, so i jumped on today and got a bit frustrated. Was knocking out alot of the side stuff and towers. Wasnt bad and the fort takedowns are straight up awesome(except for the effing tigers who love to "clever girl" you. Think out of the 5 forts i took i had to dodge tigers outside 3 of them), but it was getting a bit tedious. It didnt help that i did exactly what your not encouraged to do: avoid the main story. I jumped into it, and drudged onwards. Met some great characters, enjoyed the conversations, but it was nothing to write home about. I was getting ready to jump on here and talk about it when i decided to finish up a mission. And experienced the greatest thing in gaming history.
You are required to destroy some of the pirates drugs. Your given a flamethrower to accomplish this. Hilarity ensues. Video i found of it, you'll know its not me because the guy filming it isnt giggling nonstop. Also i used my sniper rifle and my aim kept getting "zoned out" for reasons that will be obvious if you choose to click it. Obviously spoilerish.
Hitting the main story mission now and having a blast. 10 hours in and am just denting the game apparently. Progress is only at 34%. About my only major beef is its a bit linear. Unlike Skyrim or even Mass Effect so far you cant choose, by and large, how to finish missions. As well, you cant choose conversation options. Its more like a vastly superior and more interesting Dead Island. Maybe it will change, i am just making a dent in the actual story. And for one mission i did get to choose if i wanted to "confront the cheating husband or tell the wife", so its clear they introduced a choice mechanism in some regards.
what kind of comp specs do you have, Spesh?
i want to get this game, as I loved Skyrim, but i am not sure if my computer can run it smoothly and effectively.

Former Middle East envoy Ross to discuss region
Posted December 3, 2008; 06:16 p.m.
Dennis Ross, a former special Middle East envoy under President Bill Clinton, will discuss the region in a lecture scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall. The talk is titled "Whither the Middle East?"
For more than 12 years, in the administrations of Clinton and President George H.W. Bush, Ross played a leading role in shaping U.S. involvement in the Middle East peace process. Ross was instrumental in assisting Israelis and Palestinians to reach their 1995 interim agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. He also successfully brokered the 1997 Israeli-Palestinian Hebron Accord, facilitated the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty and worked to bring Israel and Syria together.
Ross has more than two decades of experience in Soviet and Middle East policy, and worked closely with secretaries of state James Baker, Warren Christopher and Madeleine Albright. He is the author of "The Missing Peace: The Inside Story of the Fight for Middle East Peace" and currently serves as a consultant for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
The event is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Office of Graduate Career Services.

Next week is a big week for entrepreneurs and wannabee entrepreneurs in Kansas City. Monday kicks off what is being called One Week KC…nine days of meet-ups, conferences, idea exchanges, speakers, parties and workshops to educate, inspire, encourage and celebrate entrepreneurship.
It's all part of Kansas City's quest to become America's Most Entrepreneurial City. You've heard that expression before, but whatever happened to that? You may remember it was one of the Big 5 Ideas announced by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce last fall. Did it simply just fade away?
The man leading the Chamber's Making Kansas City "America's Most Entrepreneurial City" initiative is Peter de Silva, CEO of UMB Bank, who sat down with Nick Haines to give a progress report.

Well let's see… Brewer. Well he is the light of my life. I was so happy when I was able to go and pick up my 12lb puppy. He was such a good boy. He learned things faster than any other dog I had owned. This guy was and still is my life. He is now a 2 year old 65lb beast and as stubborn as can be. He loves to sleep his days away wherever he can. If I am on the couch, so is he, and on top of me. If I am in bed, so is he, on my pillow. When he is awake, he is playing with his favorite toy, a baseball. But it has to be a real leather baseball, otherwise it's shredded in minutes. He loves his doggy daycare on Tuesday's and doesn't like to come home when the day is done. He also likes to play with his 10 month old puppy brother Bernie. He does not like it when I am doing schoolwork. He will jump on the side of my chair and push me away from my desk telling me to pay attention to him. If that doesn't work, he will go into the bedroom and slam the door and bark until I get up and open it and play with him. He is my stubborn squishy face puppy, but he still gets what he wants. This guy has taught me many things and has trained me to his liking. He has showed me how awesome it is to be a bulldog parent. He is the reason I am stuck on Bulldogs, and will never go back to a different breed. I love my Brewer.

The Land
Cities & Suburbs
Boom & Bust
Patriotic Duty
At Ease
Theme: At Ease
Artist: Max DUPAIN
Birth/Death: 1911–1992
Title: Sunbaker
Credit Line: Purchased 1976 National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
Sunbaker was taken while he was on holiday at Culburra, on the New South Wales South Coast, in 1937, a year of popular optimism before the War.
The sunbaker is completely relaxed and at one with the land. He lies with his back exposed to the sun, seawater and sweat sparkling on his skin. Dupain used a low-angle shot, which transforms the simple shapes of the man's oval head and triangular torso into a mountain-like outcrop set against the horizon.
This image was inspired by the work of European modernist photographers, who were more interested in exploring abstract form than in making descriptive photographs.
Sunbaker has become a national image. The classical simplicity of the figure replaces the cliches of athletic masculine imagery.

text: Lotto was a restless traveller who absorbed many influences but left many letters and records. Here is a miraculous story told in simple and direct human terms. Gabriel announces to the Virgin 'You shall conceive and bear a son and you shall give him the name Jesus'. Mary turns away from her reading of Isaiah 7:14, which begins 'A young woman who is pregnant will have a son'. The light of the Christian faith fills the space which is her bed-chamber. It would have been against the decorum of the times to show Mary in fear and the cat amplifies this. The lily is a symbol of the Virgin. There is a Venetian quality to the light and colour of this altar-piece and a Northern-European attention to detail.

Everyone has times when they're too busy to think, let alone cook, and that's when expensive convenience food is so tempting. Is there a way to get homemade convenience food without the price? You bet.
While the notion of freezer dinners has been around for some time and works for some people, the idea of planning and cooking a month of dinners on one day can feel overwhelming. It doesn't need to be that complicated. All you need are a few tips and an open mind.
Say you're making tacos for dinner. Double or triple the taco meat, divide the extra into containers, and stash it in your freezer. This adds maybe five minutes and minimal effort to a dinner you're making anyway. Next time you want tacos, pull the container straight from the freezer and into the microwave. Five minutes later, it's done. This is my favorite go-to convenience meal for Friday nights. I can chop tomatoes and tear lettuce while the meat cooks, and if we use corn chips and make taco salad, I don't even need to heat the shells. This meal is considerably faster (and cheaper) than ordering pizza. The same technique can be used for any plain or seasoned ground beef.
The frugal-minded will love this tip. If you're working with just a regular-sized freezer and go through your frozen items relatively quickly (two to four weeks), you don't need special freezer containers or bags. Only invest in those items if you have a spare freezer you're using to really stock up.
Focus on those parts of the meal that take time. Taking time to portion out and baggie things like shredded cheese and uncooked rice does little for you. A fried rice and veggie dish we're fond of only takes five minutes to make if I have the meat prepared ahead of time. When boneless pork is on sale, I cut at least half of it into bite-sized pieces to fry and then portion that into several resealable bags for the freezer. Since fried rice dishes taste better with cooked rice that's two to four days old, I'll periodically make more rice than I need for a meal, put the rest in my refrigerator, and plan on having fried rice some time in the next several days. It doesn't get much easier and more flexible than that.
As you go through your cooking and baking routines, watch for ways you can make things easier for yourself by preparing a little extra. If you're not sure how well something freezes, Google it or just give it a try. I've frozen homemade potato and broccoli soup (people will say you can't freeze potato), but it turned out fine because it was in a soup and only in my freezer for a couple of weeks. It was in a standard container too! The key to avoiding freezer burn is to pick containers of the appropriate size. You don't have to fill a container exactly to the top, but if it's only half full, the air inside can contribute to freezer burn.
The best trick I've learned is how to make my own "break and bake" cookies. I like to make cookies for our weekly family nights, but my recipe makes a lot, meaning cookies hang around my house for days while the kids and I snack on them. Now I bake what I need for that night and freeze the rest. Lay out sheets of aluminum foil, scoop the dough into balls, and place them on the center of the sheet right next to each other. Since my cookie pans hold 15 cookies, I put 15 cookie-dough balls on each sheet. Wrap and stack them flat in the freezer. I can get five to six packages of "break and bake" cookies (depending on how many I bake initially and how much dough my kids eat!). To bake, I place the frozen dough on a cookie sheet and put it straight into a pre-heated oven. Baking time is the same. For the amount of effort I used to put into making cookies for one family night, I now have enough to last another month and a half. I enjoy convenience that I created myself. Easily.
I use the same technique to expand our breakfast options. I frequently double a muffin batch and put the extras into an old bread bag and freeze. A week or so later, I'll pull down the bag at night, and by morning, we have delicious muffins ready to go. When I make waffles, I double or triple the batch and freeze the cooked waffles in a large zippered bag. Why pay for frozen waffles when you can just as easily put your own waffles into the toaster?
This approach to homemade convenience food is a simplified version of the monthly freezer meals, and works because it requires very little advanced planning. By adding just a tiny bit of effort to meals you're already making, you can reap the rewards of convenience in the future. You'll be saving money and time with your homemade convenience food.

Lincoln vehicles continue to get more luxurious every year, and more jam-packed with safety features. No Lincoln model undergoes a radical change for 2016, but all see some change, with the Lincoln MKS cranking out its second generation, featuring some mildly retro styling. The 2016 Lincoln Navigator is considerably reduced in weight, which could cause a noticeable improvement in overall performance.

Patients who are currently using cancer drug Sutent should check if circular red patches containing blisters start appearing on the skin
Singapore: Pfizer sent out a health advisory throughout Canada stating that its cancer drug Sutent may cause skin rashes, which in rare instances can also prove fatal. Sutent is currently being used in the treatment of cancers associated with pancreas, kidney, bowels and stomach.
The company highlighted that the drug has been associated in certain individuals with severe skin rashes, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. Patients who are currently being prescribed the drug are being warned to be alert if circular red patches or spots containing blisters start appearing on the skin and to discontinue the medication immediately in addition to contacting their physician to report the problem.
A joint statement from Health Canada and Pfizer Canada said that, "Sutent is indicated for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) after failure of imatinib mesylate treatment due to resistance or intolerance. It is also indicated for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) of clear cell histology and for the treatment of patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pancreatic NET), whose disease is progressive."
The statement further said, "A statement has been recently added to the product monograph to inform healthcare professionals and patients about a potential association between the use of Sutent and severe cutaneous reactions suggestive of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Early recognition is important in improving prognosis."
However, there have been no indications that Pfizer Canada would recall Sutent from the market. Furthermore, reports of life-threatening skin rashes in patients taking this medication have been extremely rare but have resulted in several deaths.

This is mainly for those who like the cartoon. Assuming it does well and lasts for a few seasons, what events would you like to see showcased or explained in the cartoon series? Also what characters should appear, even if it's just for one episode?
For me, I'd like to see:
1. Jedi Master Sifo Dyas - even if it's just in a flashback, I think there needs to be at least one episode dedicated to explaining who he was and why he ordered the creation of the Clone Army without the knowledge of the Jedi Council.
2. Chewbacca - at least one episode explaining his friendship with Yoda. It would also be a great opportunity to revisit Kashhyyk and the Wookies.
3. Tarkin - they could show him campaigning for the creation of the Death Star.
4. Clonetrooper armor transition - maybe wait a season or two, then show the transition from the Ep2 armor to the Ep3 armor. They could also introduce Ep3 hardware like the AT-AP and Juggernaut.
5. Some background information on General Grievous, I know his story is told somewhere, but I'd like to see it onscreen.
6. Anakin spending some time with the Lars family - maybe an extended stay after the death of Cliegg Lars and Owen begins to think that Anakin is going to live there permanently until Obi Wan shows up one day and takes him away on some important mission (pretty much exactly how Obi Wan described it in ANH).
7. Some non-Clones being recruited into the Republic Army, or at least some non-Jango clone templates.
8. Since they already visited Tatooine in the pilot, we could have episodes set on Yavin, Alderaan, Felucia, Utapau, Bespin and all those planets that we only caught glimpses of in the "Order 66" montage (I'm sure someone here knows the names of them all).

Academy hotel
The hotel is situated in a nice part of London and quite close to Goodge street tube station.
However the room did not reflect the price it was a small double room for which I paid £125 I think I could have got a more upmarket hotel for the same price or less. The shower room was also very small & the grouting around the base was black. We could also hear the other residents moving around. The staff were very friendly & helpful.

9th November versus 12th November
The room I had on 9th November was very nice and the staff helpful.
However the single room I stayed in on 12th November was not so comfortable. There was quite a difference in prices but I expected a single room to be as carefully turned out as the larger room.

Shabby, expensive and staff don't really care
The Academy is really well located, but that's where the positives end.
It is the archetypal shabby London tourist hotel. Dirty, run-down, cramped and with lots and lots of stairs.
The window in our room was literally falling out of its frame, but the staff did nothing about it, so rain came in.
The whole hotel is dirty in that ground-in, decades-old way. The kind of carpets where you cringe if you walk barefoot. Needless to say, the Internet connection was sporadic and the breakfast buffet the very minimum they could get away with.

Fantastic hotel and great, central location.
A Find
Great service, really nice room with was the biggest I've ever had in London (we were given a suite).
Right on Gower Street do you need to be OK with a bit of traffic. Nice touches like the Nespresso machine and fruit in the room were really appreciated. Very comfortable, very clean. Staff were superb.

Lovely Hotel Ideal location for central London and Euston Station
We prefer to stay in Gower Street as it is 10-15 min walk from Euston Station and 5 - 10 min walk to Oxford Street with central attractions easily accessible by transport or by walking.
This was our first stay at The Academy and was very pleasantly surprised. We had requested a family room but had been upgraded at no extra cost to the Garden Suite which comprised of a spacious room nicely furnished with a comfortable king size bed, a double bed and a settee. The bathroom was spotlessly clean with complimentary. There was a private and pretty patio garden at the rear of the room. Two TVs,mini bar, Iron, ironing board, hairdryer, bath robes and luxury towels were included. The hotel in itself was nicely decorated and furnished and again very clean . The staff were very welcoming and couldn't so enough for you to make our stay perfect. Good value for money and although we did not request to eat in the hotel am sure the food would have delicious with excellent service. We would definitely not hesitate to book this hotel again for our next trip to London. Thank you to all at The Academy!

The Academy
Lovely hotel, staff were excellent especially Carlos, he upgraded our room at no extra charge.
The room was very tastefully decorated and clean, the bed was huge and exceptionally comfortable, the bathroom was spacious and good quality fitments, good quality towels and dressing gowns available to use, along with Pecksniffs toiletries. The small walled courtyard garden off the room was beautiful - it was a shame we only had one night to enjoy the room as we were in transit and only one night in London. There is no lift but help was immediately available to assist with our luggage. The area is very centrally placed Euston station and St Pancras both being within walking distance.

Location is not enough
The room was very small and the blind was broken with a note pinned to it.
Not a great experience.
Read More Less
The paintwork on the stairwell was scuffed (easily remedied one would have thought) which gave the impression of general grubbiness.
The grouting in the bathroom wasn't as clean as it could have been and the quality of the workmanship round the tiles near the floor was poor.
The shower was poor. The bed had been made up after the first night and glasses moved etc but none of the surfaces had been wiped, nor the carpet vacuumed. The bathrobe was in a heap on the bed. However, the room was a good size and the bed very comfortable and big. A fruit bowl with only 3 apples does not really constitute a fruit bowl in my opinion and it would perhaps have been better not to have one, unless this was ticking a box to say that there is complimentary fruit. The hotel did have its charm, being, as it is, a Georgian building. I expected more for the price.

Hi, Scott,
I am pretty good with pot calls for most of the major turkey sounds, and reasonably proficient with diaphragm mouth calls at the louder and easier calls (clucks, putts, purrs, yelps, tree yelps) which is all you really need to kill a bird. But some of the finer, quieter, more subtle and less known sounds elude me but I would like to expand my arsenal. I know it has something to do with tongue placement but can't seem to make it work. I tend to like raspier sounding diaphragms, with usually means 3 reeds. Could that be making it more difficult to manipulate the latex? What are some of the more subtle calls and how can I do them with a mouth call?
Long beards, sharp spurs, and beautiful mornings to ya!

By NEMS Daily Journal
When the Mississippi Legislature convenes its 2013 session next week, a host of important topics will face lawmakers, with education, Medicaid and the budget topping the list.
One issue the Legislature shouldn't waste its time with is immigration.
Gov. Phil Bryant and others have pushed a toughening of Mississippi's laws to reduce undocumented, or illegal, immigrants in the state. A bill passed the House in the 2012 but died in the Senate.
Law enforcement across the state rallied against the bill, seeing their enlistment in active enforcement of immigration laws as an unfunded mandate. Local government organizations had the same response. Business interests worried about its impact on their operations, and pointed out that employers are already required to verify that any prospective hire is in the country legally.
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves listened to these concerns and essentially put the brakes on the bill in the Senate by assigning it to a committee whose chairman let it die.
Since the 2012 session ended, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down portions of the Arizona law after which Mississippi proponents have patterned their legislation. The court sent the message that immigration is a federal issue and states should be limited in crafting their own laws.
As it has in so many areas, Congress has failed to produce comprehensive immigration reform that will both reduce illegal immigration and provide a reasonable solution to the millions of undocumented immigrants currently in the U.S., many of them firmly rooted in the communities where they live. But failure to craft and pass a comprehensive solution at the federal level doesn't alter the reality that it's a federal responsibility, not the states'.
Mississippi does not have an illegal immigration problem that requires extraordinary steps. There are, of course, immigrants who are in Mississippi illegally, but nowhere near the level of a state like Arizona. The push for immigration legislation in recent years has been more about politics than practical necessity.
It's encouraging that the chief House proponent of get-tough immigration legislation, Rep. Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, said recently that he doesn't "have anything definitive in the way of plans for immigration legislation" in the 2013 session. Maybe the reality that other concerns are much more pressing will set in and lawmakers will avoid an emotional detour down that road.

DeFleur appointed to 'I Live New York' Talent Task Force
Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur has been appointed to First Lady Silda Wall Spitzer's "I Live New York" Talent Task Force. The Task Force, which is part of the First Lady's "I Live New York" initiative, will work to develop strategies for attracting and retaining young professionals in Upstate New York.
""I Live New York" Talent Task Force is an important initiative for the state and particularly for the Southern Tier," said DeFleur. "Recruiting and retaining a high quality workforce is key to the future economic prosperity of the Greater Binghamton region, and Binghamton University is in a unique and strategic place to assist in this area."
The Task Force will seek to address several key issues related to the development of New York State's young workforce and has already prioritized five action areas:
* Expanding internship opportunities that provide young people with essential skills and give employers access to potential workers
* Marketing Upstate communities as attractive and exciting places to live;
* Developing employee recruitment strategies to connect talented workers with New York employers;
* Providing workers with continuing education services to enhance career mobility and advancement;
* Creating coordinated programs to achieve these goals, and then implement them statewide.
"Across the country, especially in places like the Research Triangle and Silicon Valley, we have seen that a talented workforce drives innovation and economic expansion," said First Lady Silda Wall Spitzer. "It is imperative for New York's future that we compete for the best students, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Building a talented workforce will give our state the competitive edge we need to revitalize our communities and compete in the global marketplace."
Binghamton University already has a number of initiatives in place to encourage graduates to find employment within the Greater Binghamton area after graduation.
Catalysts for Intellectual Capital (CIC2020) is an independent student-led economic development group that promotes student familiarity with local and regional job markets and encourages entrepreneurship. Students meet with local leaders in business, industry, healthcare, community organizations, and political offices. They also organize job fairs to link young people with jobs in region
Binghamton University also has an active internship and volunteer program, which encourages students to engage with local businesses and other organizations on a professional level. In particular, the University's Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence (SPIR) partners with small and mid sized business and exposes students to engineering and computer science opportunities that can translate into fulltime employment.
The Task Force brings together a diverse group of individuals from the public and private sectors, who are involved with issues associated with the retention and expansion of New York's emerging workforce. They include Dan Gundersen, co-chair of the Empire State Development Corporation; Patricia Smith, Commissioner of Department of Labor; John Reid, Executive Director of the Governor's Higher Education Commission; Kenneth Adams, President and CEO of the Business Council of New York State; representatives from Eastman Kodak and Bausch and Lomb, and other distinguished business, public, and community leaders.

Can water have too many nutrients?
Excess nutrients can cause algae to grow like crazy. Too much algae causes the green slime on the water that you see in this picture. These excess nutrients come from fertilizers that were carried by the runoff from farmland. This type of water pollution can have serious consequences for the other forms of life trying to survive here.
Effects of Water Pollution
Water pollutants can have an effect on both the ecology of ecosystems and on humans. As a result of water pollution, humans may not be able to use a waterway for recreation and fishing. Drinking water can also be affected if a toxin enters the groundwater.
In a marine ecosystem, algae are the producers. Through photosynthesis, they provide glucose for the ecosystem. So, can too much algae be a bad thing? Eutrophication is an over-enrichment of chemical nutrients in a body of water. Usually these nutrients are the nitrogen and phosphorous found in fertilizers. Run-off from lawns or farms can wash fertilizers into rivers or coastal waters.
Plants are not the only things that grow more quickly with added fertilizers. Algae like the excess nutrients in fertilizers too. When there are high levels of nutrients in the water, algae populations will grow large very quickly. This leads to overgrowths of algae called algal blooms. However, these algae do not live very long. They die and begin to decompose. This process uses oxygen, removing the oxygen from the water. Without oxygen, fish and shellfish cannot live, and this results in the death of these organisms (Figure below).
Certain types of algal blooms can also create toxins. These toxins can enter shellfish. If humans eat these shellfish, then they can get very sick. These toxins cause neurological problems in humans.
Lake Valencia, Venezuela, showing green algal blooms. How did the algal bloom form? What will it do to the lake over time?
Ocean Acidification
Ocean acidification occurs when excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes the oceans to become acidic. Burning fossil fuels has led to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is then absorbed by the oceans, which lowers the pH of the water. Ocean acidification can kill corals and shellfish. It may also cause marine organisms to reproduce less, which could harm other organisms in the food chain. As a result, there also may be fewer marine organisms for humans to consume.
Aquatic Debris
Aquatic debris is trash that gets into fresh and saltwater waterways. It comes from shipping accidents, landfill erosion, or the direct dumping of trash. Debris can be very dangerous to aquatic wildlife. Some animals may swallow plastic bags, mistaking them for food. Other animals can be strangled by floating trash like plastic six-pack rings. Wildlife can easily get tangled in nets (Figure below).
Marine trash can harm different types of aquatic life. Pictured here is a marine turtle entangled in a net. How can you keep this from happening?
Waterborne Diseases
Unsafe water supplies have drastic effects on human health. Waterborne diseases are diseases due to microscopic pathogens in fresh water. These diseases can be caused by protozoa, viruses, bacteria, and intestinal parasites. In many parts of the world there are no water treatment plants. If sewage or animal manure gets into a river, then people downstream will get sick when they drink the water. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), diarrheal disease is responsible for the deaths of 1.8 million people every year. It was estimated that 88% of the cases of diarrheal disease are caused by unsafe water supplies.

I ranted and raved over people that use the time excuse some time ago. At issue was people that say that they don't have time for this or that.. well yeah.. yeah you do, it's a matter of priorities. There are 24 hours in every day, how you fill that time is up to you. And so the argument goes.
I have been a bit lacks in my posting here at the Scoutmaster Minute, and like I said, not for lack of creativity or ideas.. it just has been an issue of priority. I really enjoy writing for the blog and a value the feedback and understanding of some really great readers.
So let me tell you what's up.
I have been doing a lot more for the podcast, as many of you know, the podcast has really taken a life of its own and all in a real good way. I just completed my 51st show. A show that turned out to be a three part show. Mike Walton was my guest and we had a fantastic discussion. What started out as an interview quickly became a discussion and ultimately just a couple Scouters talking. Well, recording, editing, and getting it ready to post took some time.
My Troop has been real busy and winter camping has taken a huge hunk of time. This year our troop added two additional winter camping experiences to the plan. We are now two winter camp outs for the year in the books and we are having a ball.
My Jamboree troop is really ramping up activity on the route to Jambo too… this will be an opportunity of a life time and I look forward to it… but I did not think that it would require this much work. Phone calls, web updates, emails, camp outs, meetings, and building stuff. Oh don't get me wrong.. I'm not complaining, I would not change it at all. But it is taking time, time that I am willing to give, but the problem is that I have had to slow down in other areas and unfortunately the blog has paid the price.
So what?
Well.. we are at a leveling time, Jambo activity has leveled off and a great committee is in place, the Scouts are working toward getting the activity planned and executed. The podcast is doing well and I have a good routine going with that. So back to blogging!! Yeah!
I just thought I would share some of this with you all, I have received a lot of email lately asking about the blog, well rest assured it is alive and well also and will be coming at you a lot more frequently.
With that…
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Long ago, Yum! Brands (YUM) hitched its future to China's. And these days, that decision is causing investors pain, as the company struggles to rebuild confidence with Chinese consumers, among other issues. Too much pain, according to Merrill Lynch, which downgraded the stock to Underperform from Buy today ahead of this evening's earnings release.
The timing, alone, stands out. Analysts rarely announce big changes the day of an earnings announcement if only because people will remember if they got it right or wrong in less than 24 hours. Clearly, Merrill's Joseph Buckley, Andrew Charles, and Gregory Francfort have some strong opinions. They write:
…we are concerned that avian flu news on top of chicken supply issues on top of pricing/value decisions that penalized KFC China sales starting in the 4Q of 2012 will prolong Yum shares' recent underperformance. We are lowering our rating on Yum shares from Buy to Underperform. In our view, there is a good chance that Yum will lower 2013 EPS guidance again given recent avian flu influences on KFC China sales that have already been categorized by Yum as "significant".
And what earnings they do have from China are likely worth less from a valuation perspective. The analysts applied a 25x multiple to Yum's China earnings, at the low end of their usual range, while boosting the multiple on the earnings from Yum Restaurants International and the U.S. They write:
We have consistently made the case that Yum's valuation should skew higher over the long term as the fast growing and high return China business becomes a bigger part of the operating income pie. We think this thesis has worked and has potential to work again when China sales recover.
But the flip side of the China valuation argument is that when that business is under pressure YUM's valuation looks high. In the charts below, we track Yum's 10 year absolute valuation on a P/E basis and also relative valuation versus the S&P 500. Given what we expect to be a full year operating profit decline of about 35% for Yum China, there is potential near term valuation compression from the current levels of 23x our revised 2013 EPS estimate and 19x our revised 2014 EPS estimate.
Yum has dropped 2.7% today to $63.51. It's fallen 0.7% this year, compared to McDonald's (MCD) 13.5% rise, the 11.5% gain in restaurant stocks, and the SPDR S&P 500′s (SPY) 10.2% return.

JACKSON — Mississippi mayors say cities want the option of setting a 1 percent local sales tax to pay for specific projects like parks or road repairs.
Legislators have resisted this for years, and it's not clear whether 2013 will be different.
Under House Bill 523 or Senate Bill 2145, the local tax could be set only if there's a city election and at least 60 percent of voters approve.
Hernando Mayor Chip Johnson is president of the Mississippi Municipal League. He says the tax would help cities improve the quality of life.
Democratic Sen. Hob Bryan of Amory argues against the tax. He says people from rural areas would still have to pay it if they shop in cities, but they wouldn't have a vote and wouldn't get the benefits.

MEET OUR STUDENTS: Juan Siliezar – Roving Reporter – in Search of a Beard and a Career
RIC English major Juan Siliezar reflects on his internship experience at RIC's Office of Communication and Marketing.
There are two kinds of people I've always been jealous of – guys who can grow beards and students who've always known what kind of career they want. Hoping to become one of those students before I graduate from RIC in Jan. 2014, I decided to do an internship for the fall 2013 semester.
I interned at the Office of College Communications and Marketing as a writer for RIC News. I was told during my interview that my main duties would be writing news articles, taking photographs, filming videos and maintaining public relations with outside media to promote coverage of college events.
As an English major with absolutely no experience in the news industry, I remember thinking, "What have I gotten myself into?" But like Tom Brady in the fourth quarter, I kept my cool and told my interviewers, and myself, that I could do it. For anyone going into media – or any profession – I think that kind of attitude is something you have to have, that, and adaptability.
Getting handed my first story assignment was a little intimidating. I didn't know what I was doing or where to begin. Luckily the two experienced editors on staff explained to me how to gather information and how to present it.
As for the actual writing, I knew from my courses that I had some skill as a writer, so I relied on that when submitting my first piece for review. I learned quickly that in the news world perfect writing comes from perfect editing. After I handed in a draft, the editors would come and sit with me to explain their edits, which at times were numerous, but always necessary.
Going out and reporting was fun, kind of like in the movies. Interviews were a little intimidating at first but always exciting. Sitting across from someone, notepad in hand, listening to them talk about an issue or event important to them, I would soon begin to see the topic as important, too. The assignment would no longer be just something I was assigned to do, but something that I wanted other people to know about and become excited about.
The time went by fast. Seeing my news stories posted online was a great feeling, like scoring a goal or a touchdown. I was doing something I enjoyed, something I was surprisingly good at and something that I want to keep doing.
Overall my internship gave me confidence and the direction I needed. I can now say I know exactly what kind of career I want. The only downside is that I still can't grow a beard.

Shares of of International Business Machines (IBM) are off $11.64, or over 6%, at $175.09, after the company last night missed Q3 revenue expectations and beat on the bottom line, and maintained its year profit outlook.
The focus of the Street today is 17% drop in hardware sales, but software revenue growth of just 1% was also disappointing.
On a conference call with analysts following the report, CFO Mark Loughridge said the company was "challenged" in its "growth markets," as the revenue growth in those regions trailed developed markets for the first time ever. Loughridge said the company had "absorbed a significant impact from currency" in the developing markets, and said economic reform in China, as well as execution slip-ups by IBM, both contributed to the problems:
Though we continue to gain share and deliver strong growth in Latin America as well as Middle East and Africa, we fell short of our objectives in the market in other regions. Our performance in growth markets was driven about half by execution and half by a pause as China moves through the process to develop its new economic plans. China was down 22%. We experienced a slowdown in demand across the board, but most significantly in hardware, which was down about 40%, and which makes up about 40% of our business in China. While we had some execution problems during the third quarter, we were impacted by the process surrounding China's development of a broad-based economic reform plan which will be available mid-November. In the meantime, demand from state-owned enterprises and public sector has slowed significantly as decision making and procurement cycles lengthened. We believe the changes will take time to implement and do not expect demand in China to pick up until after the first quarter of next year.
The Street today is cutting price targets and estimates. There was one downgrade, that I've seen, from UBS's Steve Milunovich, who cut his rating on the shares to Neutral from Buy, and cut his price target to $186 from $235, writing "Results could improve as 2014 unfolds, but the next two quarters likely won't be too encouraging."
Earnings quality continues to be poor, says Milunovich:
IBM's machinations to meet its EPS guidance have continued. Revenue of $23.7bn, down 4% YoY, was short of our estimate by $800mn. Despite a higher-than-expected gross margin of $49.1%, IBM needed to book a low 17% tax rate to boost EPS by almost $0.40 to come in at $3.99 per share and protect its full-year guidance of $16.90. Although many of the current negatives might reverse as 2014 unfolds, we downgrade to Neutral given that the next few quarters appear difficult and company credibility is at a low.
But more important, perhaps, it's hard to tell what problems may be long-lasting versus temporary:
Recent issues have included software execution (3Q/12), early Easter (1Q/13), and growth markets/hardware softness (2Q-3Q/13). It is difficult to tell how much is macro, IBM execution, and secular. The hardware problem certainly has a secular element with servers commoditizing and pricing aggressive. Software and services has some legacy element for sure, but it is early to see cloud having a negative impact. We still think cloud and Big Data could be long-term positives for IBM. Given general enterprise weakness, macro certainly is a contributor, especially given IBM's emerging market exposure. And IBM's execution has appeared subpar; IBM sales head Bruno Di Leo is taking over growth markets again to get it straightened out.
Milunovich cut his 2014 EPS estimate to $18.25 from $18.63.
Brian White, Cantor Fitzgerald: Reiterates a Buy rating, and a $220 price target. "The August quarter IT earnings season was softer than anticipated across multiple IT vendors a few weeks ago. Essentially, we believe the global economy is on shaky ground and China is in the midst of a transition year with new leadership, while there are also new trends in IT technology that may be giving buyers a reason for pause as these new innovations are better understood. As such, we doubt IBM will be the only IT vendor to feel these weak trends; however, history has proven that IBM's profit performance has held up much better than its peers during periods of economic volatility and downturns." White Cut his 2014 estimate to $100 billion in revenue and $17.88 per share from a prior $104.6 billion and $18.39.
Ed Maguire, CLSA: Reiterates an Outperform rating, and cuts his price target to $215 from $225. "We'd liken IBM to a scrappy baseball team who uses bunts, sacrifice flies, aggressive baserunning and deft fielding to offset a paucity of extra base hits […] IBM is big and complicated. Technology transitions are not easy and the company needs to balance a substantial base of existing businesses to grow earnings (which are the end game after all). In our view IBM's analytics resources and assets are the best of all public companies, and we see the Smarter Planet initiatives and projects like […] IBM has lagged in the cloud, but with organic development and the SoftLayer acquisition the company is catching up- fast. In the long term quest for higher value, we think IBM remains best in class in driving and monetizing innovations, sourcing and executing on M&A and managing a sprawling portfolio of technologies of varying levels of maturity. As such we think 3Q13 results, following on a few tough quarters, are a bumpy period in what remains a long-term road to value creation for shareholders." Maguire cut his 2014 estimates to $102.9 billion and $18.29 from a prior $106.6 billion and $18.36.
Maynard Um, Wells Fargo: Reiterates a Market Perform rating, and cuts what he thinks is a proper "valuation range" from a prior $200 to $215 to a new range of $175 to $185. "With a quarter where the upside was driven by lower taxes and what seemingly looks like fewer potential levers to drive EPS going forward, the leap of faith is that IBM's actions in its growth markets will start to turn its businesses around. While the regional and secular challenges (in some of its businesses) are not necessarily all IBM- specific, we believe visibility to the 2015 $20 EPS target has become murkier and questions around a secular shift away from legacy businesses and the impact to the P&L (which wasn't addressed in depth on the earnings call) could start to rise if revenue does not improve. With uncertainty near term, we expect the multiple discount relative to the S&P to persist though note there could be a near-term catalyst on October 29 when we expect IBM will authorize an incremental share repurchase authorization." Um maintains a 2014 revenue estimate for $100.99 billion but cut his EPS estimate to $18.02 from a prior $18.42.
Peter Misek, Jefferies & Co.: Reiterates a Hold rating, and cuts his price target to $190 from $210. "We believe that a major takeaway for our group is that Asia, China in particular, is weaker than expected. Hybrid cloud deployments are keeping a lid on what we would have expected to be growth in Enterprise IT spend at this point in the cycle." Misek cut his 2014 estimates to $100.22 billion in revenue and $18 per share from a prior $105.9 billion and $18.34.

text: Question for you guys. I have a 9 year old Irish Wolfhound. She had Mastitis a couple months ago. We treated with a round of Keflex which knocked it down but didn't totally get rid of it. We then went with a round of Clavamox (sp). Cleared it up except for some scar tissue in one nipple. Now it is back. I will be calling the vet tomorrow to find out what he wants to do but am wondering if anyone has any experience with this? Does she need to be spayed (hate to do that at her age but it should have been done years ago)? Is another round of antibiotics possible? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

a herd of pronghorn antelope grazes the dry grass near the Yavapai County Fairgrounds in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on land which is planned for residential development, which development will further reduce the rangeland of the antelope, which graze between Prescott Valley and I-40, about 60 miles to the north. As I setup my Gigapan on a tripod, they assembled into a close group, then galloped further away from me, some hidden by a finger in the field.

I had an interesting idea for Advogato. I noticed that people were linking to Adium in their diary entries, and I thought it would be awesome of there was a way to track it. The best way would be to display backlinks on the Project page (recently mentioned by J Random Hacker). Kind of like a Wiki.
In other news, I've been feeling really ill/depressed lately. Programming, or doing much thinking at all, really, has become bothersome. It's really hard to concentrate! I suppose I'm just a little nervous about High School ending, and other stuff that's going on this summer. It's all very scary.
I've been attempting to keep up my Python-fu by practicing. Having mixed success at that. I'd really like to finish up pIRCy, an IRC-bot a friend and I are working on. He hasn't imported the sources into SVN yet though, which makes it difficult to work on. I've been doing some work on Growl recently. I guess it's more fun to work on a small developing project than it is to work on something as gargantuan as Adium.
Speaking of Adium, I'm considering how I want to allow the Evil Menubar Duck to return. I'm thinking of adding him as part of the Menu Controller. That may be the cleanest way to do things. I need to talk to Adam about it though. I want his opinion. Evan seems to be burning out on File Transfer. I hope he doesn't die. He sounded pretty bad when I talked to him earlier today. I'm sure he'll be fine, but I'm a little worried. I worry too much. I'm starting to wander, and that's a sign it's time to end this entry. Take care.

Triops (Hatching for 10g)
I want to introduce a few triops to my 10g. My plan is to place a heater in a large glass bowl, then place a smaller plastic bowl inside that one. I'll fill both up with water and float the smaller bowl on top of the water in the larger bowl. Then, to keep the triops warm, I'll place a heater inside the larger bowl's water. The heat will transfer evenly to the smaller bowl's water, and keep the triops warm. I'll place the triops in my window and wait. At night, I'll light the tank with a lamp.
Is this a good plan? And also, IYO, are triops a good addition to a DT?10 Gallon: 5 Peppered Corys | Pool Filter Sand | x2 AquaTech 5-15 Power Filter | 2 plastic plants
They don't live very long... You can try, though.I hate hearing people say "it's only a $3/$5/$1 fish/shrimp, so it's ok if it dies, I can just get another." It's still an animal! All animals should be treated like they're worth $10,000.

Interview: Kathryn Bigelow. By Peter Keough.
Review: The Hurt Locker. By Peter Keough.
Bigelow's first feature, The Loveless (1982), combined art and action with a bit more subtlety. Co-directed by Monty Montgomery, it featured Willem Dafoe in his first film role as a mopy biker passing through a '50s hick town. With its lingering close-ups of Harleys and leather and its meandering narrative, it plays like The Wild One directed by Kenneth Anger.
Neither film could have prepared you for the originality and genius of NEAR DARK (1987; July 10 at 7 pm), which, until The Hurt Locker, was Bigelow's best film. With limpid grace she fuses at least three genres — the vampire movie, the Western, and the teenage melodrama — into a haunting, visually sublime and brutally shocking poem about America. A teenage cowpoke gets friendly with a sad blonde stranger; next morning, he's stumbling through a field, his skin on fire. He's been "turned," and the girl's "family" of revenants — who ride by night in a blacked-out Winnebago and who last changed their clothes around the time of Jesse James — reluctantly adopt him. Can he abandon his human family for eternal life with his beloved? A grotesque but exhilarating massacre in a roadhouse shows what's in store for him if he does.
The fetishism celebrated in The Loveless turns up again in BLUE STEEL (1989; July 10 at 9 pm) with the opening credits, a montage of the camera stroking a .44 magnum in extreme close-up. Instead of Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry, we have Jamie Lee Curtis as rookie officer Megan Hunt, who on her first day with the NYPD blows away an armed robber. A stock trader (Ron Silver) who witnesses the shooting swipes the perp's handgun and, obsessed by Hunt and delighted with his new-found phallic symbol, goes off on a killing spree. Ridiculous, but no matter — Bigelow and Curtis created a feminist action hero clad in blue, strapped into leather, and packing heat. Oh, and wearing Keds high-tops.
Neither is narrative credibility an issue in POINT BREAK (1991; July 11 at 7 pm), Bigelow's biggest commercial hit, in which she further explores her theme of the bad and the good in the macho nature. For neophyte FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), that would be Bodhi, the leader of a Zen-like bank-robbing crew, and Pappas (Gary Busey), Johnny's mentor in the agency. Most, though, will remember the film for its surfing, its skydiving, and its shoot-outs.

On occasion I feature a new release, apart from my interviews with authors. Readers, please note: rather than giving the author's book away, I simply add commenters' names an extra time to existing drawings.
This week let's take a look at Robin Lee Hatcher's novel, A Matter of Character (Sisters of Bethlehem Springs Series, Zondervan, June 2010).
A little about Robin Lee:
The author of over 60 books, best-selling novelist Robin Lee Hatcher is known for her heartwarming and emotionally charged stories of faith, courage, and love. She makes her home in Idaho where she enjoys spending time with her family and her high-maintenance Papillon, Poppet. She invites you to drop by her web site and her Facebook Page to learn more about her and her books.
About the book:
It's 1918, and Daphne McKinley, heiress to a small fortune, has found contentment in the town of Bethlehem Springs. But Daphne has a secret.
A series of dime novels loosely based on local lore and featuring a nefarious villain known as Rawhide Rick has enjoyed modest popularity among readers. Nobody in Bethlehem Springs knows the man behind the stories . . . except Daphne.
When newspaperman Joshua Crawford comes to town searching for the man who sullied the good name of his grandfather, Daphne finds herself at a crossroads, reassessing the power of her words, re-thinking how best to honor her gifts, and reconsidering what she wants out of life.

I think my dog may have inhaled some foxtail seeds. Unfortunately I cant get him into the vet until 5pm. However the girl at the desk said a round of anti inflammitorys(sp?) usually does the trick. Or if I want they can go straight to a scope to look for it but they didnt think it was necessary.
Any of you folks have any experience with foxtail? What do you recommend?
Im thinking to go straight to scope and see if they can find the seed and pull it out before it migrates somewhere and causes more trouble.

In SunbathersAlbert Tucker projected his feelings of unease and anxiety during the Second World War onto his local landscape, Melbourne's St Kilda beach. The ideas of recreation and play associated with the beach are replaced in this work by Tucker's protoplasmic forms of swollen, blistered flesh. He painted Sunbathers during a period when 'everything seemed to be seething with ideas and energy and experience'.1 In his painterly approach Tucker revealed his knowledge of German Expressionism, Surrealism and Picasso which he adapted to express his personal feelings.
In Sunbathers two figures appear as discarded lumps of flesh occupying the beach at night. Tucker reduced the human body to a bulbous landscape of headless, conical limbs. The skin appears to glow from within and the figures cast shadows in opposite directions. In this surreal landscape Tucker has reduced the beach into the basic elements of sand, sea and sky–all of which are depicted using heightened, symbolic colour. The dark band of sky evokes the tense evening 'black-outs' Melbourne experienced during the war.
Tucker was interested in the night-time activities of the city and between 1943 and 1947 painted a body of work that he called Images of modern evil. These paintings are powerful social commentaries that explore the dark and gritty side of urban wartime life.
1 Albert Tucker, interview by James Gleeson, 2 May 1979, Canberra: National Gallery of Australia Research Library, transcript, p. 12.
