Following some sparing previews into the Stash x Sebago 2011 spring/summer line, we present a more comprehensive offering. Despite the graphical background of co-designer Stash, the various boat shoe iterations are decidedly simple and some only go as far as to pay homage to Stash's painting roots via selective paint splatters. The low contrast colors create a very wearable piece of footwear through both chukka and low cut models.

I was playing around on the site until the wee' hours of the morning yesterday (technically today) and when tinkering with the sql database I screwed up something. Anyway the whole site was basically deleted. It took me a few seconds to reach a realization of what happened, I was stultified.
My first reaction was to pick up my computer and smash it over my knee and then rip out the processor and eat it. Luckily I decided against this as I remembered I had recently backed up the site's database. Within about 30 seconds the site was back up and running and I only lost about 20 minute's worth of actual work.
Recently we added a new top banner (pixel art!) and the flash animation at the top of the frontpage. I am still waiting for some feedback about them….

I'm just curious to know if you have any thoughts on what might have caused this cake to turn out so horribly wrong! I followed a recipe I've used countless times for vanilla cake, and this time I added chocolate (according to the recipe) and well, this was not quite what I had in mind.. My guess is that since the chocolate has sunk to the bottom, this will somehow have impacted the heat distribution? All of the ingredients were fresh and I'm quite sure I used the right amount of flour, sugar etc.
Thanks in advance! :P
Whoa. When you pulled it open it wasn't done inside? I'm trying to figure out from the picture what this is. Is it raw in the middle?
Did you use cocoa powder or chocolate chips and if so, how did you add the chocolate?
You added chocolate chips? Did the cake stick to the pan?
AI can see that it's broken apart, and that the chocolate has sunk to the bottom, but that's all I can tell from looking at the picture. Some more details would be helpful - was it undercooked, gummy?
The sides were perfect, but the center was undercooked and there was a large hole in it... The reason it's open is because I tested it for doneness and it felt hollow, so I cut it open to see. I added chocolate chips, the rest of the batter is a regular vanilla flavored one. The cake didn't stick to the pan at all, it was like a nice cake "shell" with uncooked batter in it.. very odd.. :P
Perhaps adding the chocolate chips distributed the heat unevenly? Were they frozen? Also, is the batter runny just generally speaking? It seems like they should not have sunk to the bottom.
Well I learned something new too!
Well I learned something new too!
Sorry, those answers are not correct.
Could you use mini-chips?
Also, MimiFix...do tell! You have me intrigued. If those answers are wrong, what do you suggest?

Flouring ingredient add-ins does not work since the issue is batter density. I've written about this issue (Batter Viscosity, FAQ) and answered questions on CC but baking myths are hard to dispell. And I was horrified at the responses suggesting that chocolate chips should be added after the item was in the oven.
Is it possible you put too much batter in the pan ? and it just did not cook in the middle ?
AThe first thing that went through my mind when I looked at the photo was that your cake reminds me of a lava cake. I have never made one, so I don't know the ingredients or process that allows the center to be liquid/hollow, but maybe you did something similar to that process. Or maybe you accidentally put in the wrong amounts of an ingredient. Hopefully someone can help you figure this out.
AThe other thing it reminds me of is a popover. I've never made those before either but I recently saw an episode of Good Eats where Alton explains why the popover is hollow, but now I cannot remember why. I'll see if I can find the info from the episode for you.

Popovers are a result of steam and developing the gluten further than you would in most baked goods. Over mixing cake batter will develop the gluten too far for a cake, and can definitely cause air pockets and tunneling, I've never seen a 'shell' bake like that before though.
I can't see the picture very well, was there uncooked batter in the middle?
(Mimi, I never clued in that you were 'Bakingfix'! I love your blog)
AHere is the transcript of the show if you want to read it. Perhaps it will help you figure out what happened. http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/season12/popover/popover_tran.htm
Sorry, I didn't know someone had answered! I'm guessing it was due to the chocolate chips sinking; I did use the right amount of the other ingredients and didn't over mix... I guess it was just a bad recipe! ;) I'll try making a thicker batter next time! :) Thanks!

very capturing
the blurring really expresses the chaos of a battlefield, and the general hue benefits the piece greatly. The fact that the focal point of the only color is in the sky (barely even pink) and in the blood splattered everywhere, showing that death and pain are the main outcome of war. I really feel the sky would look better without a reddish tint

Are Joint Accounts Safe From Your Estate?
The appellate division recently overturned a Nassau County case.
The appellate division recently overturned a Nassau County case. It was determined based on the facts of the case, that the joint account was established merely as a convenience and that the joint owner was on the account for convenience. Upon finding that the account was created merely to protect the assets and for the convenience of the testator, the court ordered that the proceeds be turned over to the Estate. Matter of Dubin.

Enhanced prestige
Many of the talented folks who brought us Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are also responsible for The Prestige (2006), a film released between the two tent-pole Batman films. The three movies share the same director, Christopher Nolan; screenwriters, Nolan and his brother, Johnathan Nolan; and onscreen talents Christian Bale and Michael Caine. Unlike the two Bat films, The Prestige isn't as immediately accessible, but it does reward close — and repeated — viewing.
Bale and Hugh Jackman (who'll fill thousands of screens as Wolverine this weekend) play rival magicians in turn of the century London. Both seek the ultimate illusion, The Transported Man, and both find very different routes to performing it. Nolan tells the film in a nonlinear fashion, jumping among at least four time periods in the narrative, each scene adding to or changing our perceptions of the ones that came before. The movie is structured like a magic trick, with sleight of hand and misdirection galore. (The title refers to the moment in an illusion when the disappearing subject — be it bird, lovely assistant, or magician — reappears.)

Balancing the scales
A movie like The Alligator People (1959) reminds me of Saturday afternoons watching Super Host on WUAB Channel 43 out of Lorain, greatest of all area UHF stations from the era of rabbit-ear antennas. This is exactly the kind of movie that would have been perfect on Marty Sullivan's show.
Lon Chaney Jr. is third-billed as a dirtbag Captain Hook of sorts obsessed with killing the alligator that ate his hand. The real story involves a nurse, Joyce Webster (Beverly Garland), whose fiance, Paul (Richard Crane), makes a miraculous recovery from a plane crash only to walk off into the darkness on the night of their honeymoon. After months of looking, she tracks him to a Southern plantation, owned by his mother. (And the same one where Chaney is

Commode conundrum (a.k.a. toilet trouble)
This is my print column from April 23, 2009, as seen in The Alliance Review:
"Today I am a man!" shouts Harvey Pekar, plunger over his head, kneeling before the porcelain god he has successfully unclogged.
In American Splendor: Another Day, a collection of vignettes presented as comic-book stories, Pekar compares fixing a toilet to a bar mitzvah, how he was reluctant at age 13 to utter the five words that signal the change from childhood to adulthood because he was a "klutz" who "couldn't do mechanical stuff … couldn't fix anything."*
I know exactly how he feels about the agony and ecstasy of being all thumbs at home repairs.
This week, the sole toilet at Casa Schillig started to work overtime, gurgling water long after it should have. Luckily, it didn't overflow, but for a few days, gallons were wasted, driving up the water bill and making us poster children for "Conspicuous Consumption."

As Seen on TV
CNBC premiered a news special Wednesday called As Seen on TV, an in-depth look at direct response advertising. The special trades on the fascination and, yes, the fondness that many viewers have for infomercials, trotting out Chia Pet and ShamWow, Ginsu knives and that new star of the infomercial firmament, the Snuggie.
Along with these familiar products come their pitchmen, including Ron Popeil of Pocket Fisherman and Showtime rotisserie grill fame. The special also features an interview with the heir apparent to the Popeil pitchman throne, Billy Mays, who comes across as quiet and self-effacing, a far cry from his in-your-face sales persona.
There's a brief attempt to get serious about the whole "as seen on TV" empire of spurious claims via interviews with government types who want to tighten the reins on advertising requirements, and even a monitoring agency funded by the industry itself. But let's face it, networks — including CNBC — make too much money from infomercials to risk killing this cash cow, so this special mostly worships at the altar of infomercials. Fun and worth a look. As Seen on TV airs next at 10 p.m. Sunday, April 26, on CNBC. Or watch it on Hulu by clicking here.

2B or not 2B
Thursday (April 23) is Shakespeare's likely birthday — he was christened on April 26, so most people count back three days to establish a probable birth date. It is also convenient because he died on April 23, which bums out many of my students: "It would suck to die on your birthday." My response is it would suck to die on any day, so a birthday is no better or worse than any other.
Anyway, that's a long-winded introduction to a long-winded movie, Kenneth Branagh's four-hour adaptation of the Bard's best-known work, Hamlet. In almost all ways, it is exceptional. Some critics have dinged Branagh for his performance in the lead role, saying he is too much a man of action to play the melancholy Prince of Denmark. That's ridiculous. Hamlet himself is a man of action, restrained in his attempts to rub out his uncle Claudius (Derek Jacobi) by his ambitions to ascend the throne himself. To that end, Hamlet feigns madness, casts off his true love, Ophelia (expertly played here by Kate Winslet), and suffers himself to be exiled to England, a fate avoided by the timely intervention of pirates. (Hey, even Shakespeare can be forgiven one improbable plot twist.)

A dandy Yankee
My film studies class has been watching musicals lately. This is genre I generally avoid, selfishly, because I have little appreciation for the artistry involved. It's hard to get past the convention of folks breaking into song and dance at a moment's notice and nobody else in the scene thinking it is strange. I have been slowly overcoming this hangup, however, because the convention is no worse than some others — I'm thinking of soliloquies and asides in the legitimate theater — and is a silly reason to avoid musicals.
Our first sojourn into the musical realm was Yankee Doodle Dandy, a very atypical role for James Cagney, who usually plays tough guys and gangsters. My favorite Cagney performance (and I haven't seen them all) is 1949's White Heat — "Look at me, ma, I'm on top of the world!" — but his performance in Yankee Doodle is pretty good, too. Plus, he took home his only Oscar here.

Been Hur, done that
I was a week too late to watch the quintessential Easter film, Ben-Hur, on Easter, but at least I got around to it on Greek Orthodox Easter weekend.
Ben-Hur is a film that holds a special meaning for me. It was one of the movies that my sixth- or seventh-grade class watched in school, back in the days when that meant a teacher threading spools of film, changing them periodically, and projecting the images on a white wall. I attended Marlington Middle School, and each section (we called 'em "houses") of the school had a large common room big enough to hold mass quantities of kids; it was in one of these common rooms that we watched Ben-Hur, probably as the culminating event in a study of ancient Rome or some such. It took a loooong time to watch it, because it is a loooong film, and in retrospect was likely chosen to give my teachers a well-deserved break from working with middle school kids. I don't blame them a bit.
So I can't watch the movie with anything resembling objectivity. Doesn't matter. Enough critics agree it is a great movie; it always makes just about everybody's Top 100 list, sometimes coming in close to the top. It's likely in my top ten, even though I don't watch it all that often.

Nothing up his sleeve
This video is impressive. I expected the narrator to do something stupid, like smash the bottle, until he announced that he would remove the cork without breakage.

First day of spring
No matter what the calendar says, today is the first day of spring because it's the first time I mowed the grass this year. I've been putting off the dreaded cutting because once started, it becomes a weekly (and sometimes a twice-weekly) obligation.
I really should have taken the shears to the lawn last Sunday, but I laid off because it was Easter and cold. Not necessarily in that order. Today I had no excuse — temperatures in the 70s, lots of sunshine, enough time to mow my little postage stamp of earth and still have enough time to do other things too.
It's also the first day this year I've been on my bicycle. I rode it to The Review after I mowed. It's downhill all the way there, so that part's a snap. Coming back is the real bummer.
This was also the day I drove my wife and three of her friends to the Cleveland airport to catch a flight to Florida, where they boarded a cruise ship for a girls' week vacation. Through the wonders of modern technology, I've heard from her a dozen times already — several cell phone calls, lots of text messages. The cruise ship pulled out of dock a few hours ago, and with a surcharge added to each call, we've decided to limit cell phone contact from here on out.
Being a "bachelor" again — OK, not really (not at all, in reality) — is weird. Whenever my wife goes out of town, the most anarchic thing I can think to do is watch Marx Brothers movies. I've resisted the temptation so far, but only because I was outside all day. Tonight's another story …

'True Blood' Season 2 Returns With More Sex, Blood & Nudity
The racy HBO series centering around Louisiana barmaid Sookie Stackhouse (played by Golden Globe winner Anna Paquin) and her encounters with sexy vampires and other supernatural beings is returning for a second season with a promo indicating that there's plenty more intrigue in the Bayou to be had.
Real-life couple (on-screen and off) consisting of Paquin on her bloodsucking costar Stephen Moyer graced the red carpet at the 2009 Paley Center Festival, along with their castmates and the show's creator Alan Ball.
Let's hope this next season is just as averse to clothing as the first.

Published: December 9, 1990
Telling Truth to Children Children, Maurice Sendak observes, deserve books that are true to their experience of life, and not falsely idyllic. This is from "Caldecott & Co.: Notes on Books & Pictures" (Noonday/Michael di Capua/Farrar, Straus & Giroux, paper).
The realities of childhood put to shame the half-true notions in some children's books. These offer a gilded world unshadowed by the least suggestion of conflict or pain, a world manufactured by those who cannot -- or don't care to -- remember the truth of their own childhood. . . .
The popularity of such books is proof of endless pussyfooting about the grim aspects of child life. . . . Of course we must avoid frightening children, if by that we mean protecting them from experiences beyond their emotional capabilities: but I doubt this is what most people mean when they say "We must not frighten our children." The need for evasive books is the most obvious indication of the common wish to protect children from their everyday fears and anxieties, a hopeless wish that denies the child's endless battle with disturbing emotions. Going to See the Trees
Lewis O. Saum's description of the rituals surrounding Christmas trees in the 1870's reminds us how swiftly our "traditional" holiday customs have evolved. This is from "The Popular Mood of America, 1860-1890" (University of Nebraska).
A Christmas tree was an event, something one attended, and one might attend several. Thus a milliner in Webster, Massachusetts, reported in 1876 that "there were lots of Christmas trees but I could not go to any of them." Evidently, doing so involved financial considerations. The trees served as points of exchange for small gifts such as autograph albums. . . . Only rarely did trees appear in humble homes. The Stranger at the Dance
The Swedish Ballet, an avant-garde group active in Paris in the 1920's, aroused considerable admiration -- but nothing more remarkable than the enthusiasm of the painter Theophile Alexandre Steinlen. This is quoted from a contemporary newspaper account in "Ballets Suedois" by Bengt Hager (Abrams).
One evening, on 25 November 1920, during a performance of Nuit de Saint-Jean, the dancers, Jean Borlin included, were not a little surprised to see some unknown person stepping up behind them. Bizarrely dressed in eighteen-thirties garb, with a green frock coat and a tall, broad-brimmed hat, he came and took his place at the table where the peasants pretend to be eating cake and drinking. But the dancers had more surprises in store for them. For here were the huge wooden goblets, normally empty, full that evening of excellent wine, and in place of the painted cardboard cake an enormous, mouth-watering brioche. And so they ate and drank in earnest. . . . At the moment when the peasants begin a hectic farandole round the midsummer's night tree, the gentleman in the green frock coat joined hands with the others and danced to his heart's content. The ballet came to a very lively end . . . at which point, to everyone's utter amazement, the frock-coated gentleman revealed his true identity: it was the great painter Steinlen, eager to make his debut as a dancer. Useful, Addled Critics
Even bad criticism serves a purpose, as Janet Flanner demonstrates in her record of the experiences of Henri Matisse and the other painters known, in the early years of this century, as the Fauves. This is from "Men and Monuments" (Da Capo, paper).
At the debuts of all the revolutionary styles of painting that now seem merely to make up the lovely late-nineteenth-century phenomenon of modern French art, from Monet's Impressionism, in the 1870's, to Seurat's neo-Impressionism and Gauguin's and van Gogh's Expressionism, the Paris art critics performed an invaluable service. They were nearly always wrong in their judgments. Thus they sustained the conviction of each emerging contingent of artists, usually upheld by little else (being poor, visionary and worried), that their imaginations, palettes and paintings were set on one more right, immortal track. Fauvism, at its birth, was distinguished by the insults that customarily greeted the arrival of something vital and unfamiliar; it was termed a monster, and Paris critics called it aberrant, repellent, sensational and unnecessary. . . . Matisse, for his "Woman with Hat," a portrait of his wife, was termed "robustly gifted but gone astray in eccentric color." At the Salon, someone tried to stab the portrait. Creation's Flow
Jazz, Gene Lees argues, is both the most daring musical form and the perfect paradigm for the process of creativity. This is from "Meet Me at Jim & Andy's: Jazz Musicians and Their World" (Oxford University, paper).
Aldous Huxley said that art is created in a state of relaxed tension. You must be relaxed enough to let the dreams flow, alert enough to know what to do with them, grab them out of the incorporeal air as they rush by and turn them into something that others can perceive and be moved by. . . . Making jazz is a very naked thing to do.
That anyone can do anything at all but stand there in paralyzed amazement when the chord changes are going by, that musicians can function with minimal premeditation and great creativity within the materials of a song's structure, is more remarkable than even the most expert practitioners themselves seem to appreciate. It requires both tremendous knowledge, whether intuitive or acquired, and the physical reflexes of an athlete. Jazz is not only one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of music, it is one of the most striking achievements in the history of human thought.

Ryan Lavarnway was once considered the Red Sox' catcher of the future. Now, it looks like he'll again be sent to Triple-A Pawtucket to begin the season. The 25-year-old finds himself part of a crowded catching situation now that David Ross has been signed to back up Jarrod Saltalamacchia. This isn't to say Lavarnway won't have a role with the Sox in 2013 or beyond, but he'll need to have a good spring in order for the team to think twice about sending him down for more seasoning.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Nov 23, 2012.
QuestionMy mother wants a new suv and she wants to pay cash for it. I can get her a new jeep cherokee @36 mionths ,0% financing,and I think she should leave her $28,000 drawing interest,but she doesn''t want a monthly payment. I think she will lose a lot of interest if she forks over the cash. What is the best approach?
I think you are assuming that the cash price of the SUV and the purchase price of the Jeep Cherokee are the same. Perhaps you should negotiate the cash purchase price of the vehicle that your mother wants and then once that price has been determined, discuss financing. I suspect that the purchase price that includes the 0% financing is actually a higher price. If on the other hand the cash price is negotiated and you can still get the 0% financing, you might want to take the financing.
I might even consider getting a jeep or suv that is a year or two old already. I am not in favor of financing depreciating assets and now with interest rates at an all time low, your mother may not be losing a lot of interest.

One important thing that I learned from giving birth to my two sons is that with pregnancy, labor, delivery, and birth, you are never fully in control of what goes on. Pregnancy is a miraculous process, and a complex one, too. Many factors affect a pregnancy throughout its term as well as during the final hours of labor and delivery. Pregnant women and their partners often go to great lengths to take good care of themselves before and during pregnancy, in order to increase the chances of giving birth to a healthy child and having a satisfying birth experience.
My message for you today is that no matter how much you plan and prepare, and no matter what lengths you go to to take care of yourself and your growing baby, you can not guarantee any particular outcome. My intention is not to frighten anyone, or to cause additional anxiety during an already stressful time. In fact, my intention is to provide reassurance and empathy as you move towards labor and through delivery as well as comfort and support after the fact.
You see, during my second pregnancy I was determined to do everything that I could to avoid becoming sick with preeclampsia like I did at the end of my first pregnancy. Early in my pregnancy, I selected a team of home birth midwives who worked with me to set up a plan of action including nutrition, exercise, and supplements in order to increase my chances of avoiding preeclampsia. I knew that if I ended up with it, I could not have the natural home birth that I wanted.
I worked hard on my action plan, exercising, eating right, and taking my supplements. About a month before my estimated delivery date, a routine urine test showed signs of protein. I took a more extensive urine test, along with blood work, and it revealed that I had preeclampsia. Since the baby would have to be delivered the next day, I had another ultrasound. The doctor looked closely at Blake before giving me the best news that I could have hoped to hear at such a stressful time – my due date was wrong and he was full term.
In the days that followed, I was induced, labored with medication, and had an emergency cesarean birth. Blake was born healthy, and I was thrilled. I was also a mess. Instead of the home birth I had envisioned, I had gone down the spiral of one medical intervention after another. In the weeks that followed, I applied myself to healing both my physical and emotional wounds.
As soon as I was cleared to exercise, I went for a walk with Blake in a front pack and Dylan in a stroller. As I walked, I realized that it was time to stop thinking about whether I had done enough to take care of myself during the pregnancy. I had done the best that I could. The healthy, happy baby in my front pack was all the proof I needed of that. Since then, I have had fleeting thoughts about the pregnancy and birth. Each time, I remind myself that I did the best that I could and beating myself up over it will not change the outcome.
Whatever happens during your pregnancy, labor, and delivery, know that you did the best that you could. That is all that anyone can do. Please be gentle, and offer yourself the same compassion that you would offer to a friend who had a pregnancy or birth experience that was different than what she had envisioned.

The third-ranked Westminster College women's basketball team moved into a first-place tie in the Frontier Conference with an 87-41 win over Rocky Mountain (Mont.) on Thursday night in the Behnken Field House.
Westminster is now 13-2 overall this season and tied with Saturday's opponent, No. 14 Lewis-Clark State (Idaho), at 7-0 in conference play. Rocky Mountain drops to 7-10 overall and 0-8 in the league.
The Griffins took control of Thursday's game early with a 15-0 lead in the first five minutes of action. Kelsi Wells scored six points during the run with Tia Pappas adding five. The team forced three Rocky turnovers and only allowed one field goal attempt during the stretch.
Leading 50-19 at intermission, the Griffins opened the second half with 10 straight points to cap a run of 18 straight points. Alli Blake and Amy Krommenhoek scored six points apiece during the 7:45 that came off the clock, and the Griffins held Rocky to 0-of-10 shooting and three turnovers.
Westminster finished the game shooting 54.8 percent from the field with 38 points in the paint. The NAIA's leading 3-point shooting team made 7-of-13 from beyond the arc, including 6-of-10 in the first half. The Griffins had a 42-25 edge in the glass with 14 offensive rebounds for 21 second chance points. They distributed 23 assists while only committing 13 turnovers.
On the defensive end, Westminster limited Rocky to 31.4 percent shooting and just 4-of-20 from three. The Griffins forced the visitors into 20 turnovers, which they scored 26 points from. The Griffins notched a season-high tying 13 steals.
Krommenhoek led four Griffins in double figures with 16 points off the bench. The junior was 5-of-6 from the floor, and she made four of her five attempts from three. Pappas added 14 points, four rebounds and five steals – a season-high by any Griffin this season. Blake finished with 12 points, and Katie Richens added 11.
Allie Seauvageau led Rocky with 12 points in 16 minutes off the bench. She was 5-of-8 shooting and went 2-of-3 from beyond the arc.
This win gives the Griffins a six-game winning streak heading into Saturday's showdown with Lewis-Clark State. The game has been picked as the NAIA Game of the Week by the national office, and it will tip at 5:30 p.m. MST from the Behnken Field House.

Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire, or Byzantium, began in 380 and lasted until 1453 A.D. It lasted over 1000 years. The Byzantine Empire followed after the Roman Empire. When the Roman Empire was declining the emperor decided to split the empire in half to make it easier to govern. Eventually civil wars broke out in the western empire, but the eastern empire remained fairly stable. Emperor Constantine decided to create a new capital in the eastern half, and named it Constantinople. The eastern half continued to survive and thrive, while the western half collapsed in around 476 A.D. The Byzantine Empire was located between the entrance to the Black sea, and Mediterranean sea. Because of this, trade between Europe, Asia, and North Africa had to pass through the Byzantine Empire. The strategical placing of this empire caused it to become very wealthy for some time.
The Byzantine Empire was located between the entrance to the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea.
The byzantine Empire in Comparison
The Byzantine Empire differed from the Roman Empire in many ways. The Byzantine Empire was able to last almost twice as long as the Roman Empire because it had an organized government. The Byzantine Empire did not grow too large, and the empire minded its own business. One difference between the Roman and Byzantine Empires was the capital. The capital in the Roman Empire was Rome, but the capital in the Byzantine Empire was Constantinople. Both Empires were Christian, but followed a different form. The Roman Empire was Roman Catholic, and the Byzantine Empire was Eastern, or Greek, Orthodox. The language spoken was also different. The Roman Empire spoke latin, whereas the Byzantine Empire spoke Greek. The Roman Empire was the western half of the old Roman Empire. When the Roman Empire collapsed, it fell into the dark ages. The Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the old Roman Empire. It grew strong and lasted 1000 years.
The eastern and western halves of the old Roman Empire
Impact on Russia
Many Byzantine ideas were introduced to Russia through trade. One of the ideas introduced to Russia was the Byzantine Empire's religion, Greek Orthodox. Once this religion spread to Russia it also became known as Russian Orthodox. Another idea was the Cyrillic Alphabet. This was a writing system named for a Greek Monk, St. Cyril. There is dispute whether he actually invented it though. It is believed that two missionaries, Cyril and another person, Methodius, wanted to spread ideas of Christianity to Slavic people. They could not teach it though, because the Slavs had no written language, so they created the Cyrillic Alphabet. Other ideas spread were the Byzantine Empire's art work, such as mosaics, and Architecture.
Cyrillic Alphabet
The Byzantine Empire made contributions to our society. One contribution was Justinian's Code. These were the laws of the Byzantine Empire. They were based on the "Twelve Tables" of Roman law. This became a basis for laws in many European Nations. The Byzantine Empire also contributed art and architecture, which was supported by the Christian Church.
Justinian's Code
The Byzantine Empire did some very important things, one was the preservation of the Roman and Greek culture.When the western empire collapsed in 476 many libraries and places of learning were destroyed. Books and important information were burned and much of the knowledge of Roman and Greek civilization was lost. However, the eastern half of the old Roman empire, The Byzantine Empire, survived. The Byzantine Empire preserved many of the Greek and Roman advancements, on of them being Justinian's code. Another important thing was cultural diffusion. Not only did the Byzantine Empire preserve the Roman and Greek culture, it spread the ideas to other parts of the world.

CHANGES to Essex Police's marine unit come into force from today.
Five of the nine officers based in Burnham will transfer to Special Branch, responsible for anti-terrorism and protecting high-profile visitors.
Initially they will still be based in Burnham.
An Essex police spokesman said: "Marine officers will be moved under the control of the force's Special Branch and will initially remain at their base in Burnham.
"The force, however, will be looking at whether there is a more appropriate location for them as the use of Essex waterways expands with development along the Thames corridor."
She said officers will be focussing on organised crime on the county's waterways under the new management structure.
The force is cutting back the marine unit as part of efforts to save £78million a year by 2016.
The marine unit patrols about 360 miles of coastline.
Nigel Harmer, Maldon District Council's river bailiff, said he hopes to work more closely with Brightlingsea Town Council and Tendring Council to make up for the short fall in river enforcement.

(Edited after asked feature in v1.7.1 was added.)Thanks. Useful add-on. I plan to use it with custom bookmarklets, which now can (maybe) be applied on link or image we are hovering over.
Anyone knows the Javascript parameter name which would hold the URI we are hovering over?
Why didn't you visit my support page and requested that feature? The modification would have taken 5 minutes of my time, it would have been done while you were staying on my site...but now you already wrote your review.
Edit: Sorry, I assumed you would look in the add-on about box (right-click and visit homepage). A fixed version 1.7.1 is available there. I also began working on a version that hopefully matches most other requests here.

examples of acids bases and salts
Best Results From Wikipedia Yahoo Answers Youtube
From Wikipedia
Acid salt is a somewhat obscure term for a class of salts formed by the partial neutralization of diprotic or polyprotic acids. Because the parent acid is only partially neutralized, one or more replaceable hydrogen ions remain. Typical acid salts have one or more alkali (alkaline) metal ions as well as one or more protons. Well known examples are sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4), monosodium phosphate (NaH2PO4), and disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4). Often acid salts are used as buffers.
For example, the acid salt sodium bisulfate is the main species formed upon the half neutralization of sulfuric acid with sodium hydroxide:
- H2SO4 + NaOH → NaHSO4 + H2O
Acid salts compounds can act either as an acid or a base: addition of a suitably strong acid will restore protons, and addition of a suitably strong base will remove protons. The pH of a solution of an acid salt will depend on the relevant equilibrium constants and the amounts of any additional base or acid. A comparison between the Kb and Ka will indicate this: if Kb > Ka, the solution will be basic, whereas if Kb < 'Ka, the solution will be acidic.
Use in food
Some acid salts are used in baking. They are found in baking powders and are typically divided into low-temperature (or single-acting) and high-temperature (or double-acting) acid salts. Common low-temperature acid salts react at room temperature to produce a leavening effect. They include cream of tartar, calcium phosphate, and citrates. High-temperature acid salts produce a leavening effect during baking and are usually aluminium salts such as calciumaluminium phosphate. Some acid salts may also be found in non-dairy coffee creamers.

Knitwear company John Smedley has an interesting project on the horizon for 2008 – Luxury Redefined. They joined forces with Better Thinking ltd. to create a new sustainable luxury t-shirt. The t-shirt has been developed in London, materials grown in Peru and made in England. As of Spring '08 the t-shirts will be available in mens, womens and childrens sizes.
Sustainability has been a rather big subject in fashion in 2007 and it will only become bigger. Our take on the subject was always, if they deliver good product that a slight premium, it will work and also make sense, but sustainability cannot be a selling point for a mediocre product. This John Smedley initiative looks promising, hopefully we can soon have a look at the final product!

But depending on who you ask, Donovan McNabb's reception at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday may have been louder than the one given to Brian Dawkins.
McNabb was just one of the alumni on-hand for the Eagles' first open practice and is in town to officially retire as an Eagle. The ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. Monday and be shown live on Comcast SportsNet.

A WHOPPING £30,000 donation has put the family of ten-year-old Luca Railton closer to raising the funds necessary for him to receive life-changing surgery and avoid amputation.
His mother Teresa was given the sum by Imagine Cruising, pushing the fundraising total to £50,000 and placing the schoolboy in good stead to collect the £135,000 required for the costly operation.
The donor company has offices at Lydiard Fields Business Park, Swindon.
The Prior Park School, Cricklade, pupil was born with no bone in his right knee, no right tibia and only a partial left tibia due to a rare condition called bilateral tibial hemimelia, which affects one in a million people.
He is due to undergo surgery in Florida on March 27 but before he can fly to the United States the issue of funding must be resolved quickly.
Teresa, 42, who works in Old Town as an IT manager for Zeal Solutions Ltd, said: "The donation is absolutely amazing. "I was so overwhelmed by it all. It was so generous of them and so kind. "Robin Deller, the owner of the company, has known Luca since he was four, as Luca has been in his daughter's class since reception and he wanted to do something for him.
"We are hoping to reach £135,000. The surgery will allow Luca to be able to walk with his own legs, callipers free, and give him a chance.
"We have been exploring every avenue, like remortgaging our house. This is our fallback. "We've just got to do whatever it takes to get these funds by March. "People have been absolutely amazing and if we keep pushing we can get there."
Luca has had more than 60 hours of surgery to help him walk with the aid of leg supports.
In February last year, doctors in Oxford told the Railtons there was nothing more they could do for Luca and that they would have to amputate or fuse his right leg straight.
But American surgeon Dr Dror Paley, who has treated more than 200 patients with this condition, assured his parents he could treat their son and help him walk without callipers.
This is the family's second bid to save Luca from amputation.
In 2005, a German surgeon flew to England and performed 10 hours of duthrty on the toddler at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford to put metal frames on his legs.
After nine months, the frames were removed and Luca took his first steps with the help of callipers and a walking frame.
The latest surgery will take place in stages over six months. Doctors will operate on his ankles and left knee, and his right leg will be lengthened and fused in a way that will still allow him to run around.
"Luca is apprehensive because he knows that it will be a painful operation," added Teresa.
"It will be hard for him and for us. We know he is in good hands. We went to Florida in October and met two people who have gone through it. It was all very positive."
People are welcome to donate towards Luca's operation by visiting www.facebook.com/lucarailton.

Wheelock College Celebrates Southborogh Scholar
October 16, 2013
Marlborough Patch
Wheelock College celebrates Gwendolyn Saffran, a Southborogh local and member of the Wheelock Class of 2017, along with 16 other Passion for Action Scholars at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, on Wednesday, November 6, 2013 from 6-9 p.m. This fourth Passion for Action Leadership Award Dinner celebrates the positive social entrepreneurship of the Wheelock scholarship recipients. The Wheelock College four-year Passion for Action Scholarship is given to incoming freshmen from greater Boston who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to community service and involvement.
At the celebration, the College honors Year Up and its founder Gerald Chertavian who will be awarded the 2013 Passion for Action Leadership Award for their work in closing the Opportunity Divide for thousands of young adults across the United States. The Leadership Award Dinner features a keynote address by Anuradha Koirala, the Founder and Executive Director of Maiti Nepal, recognized by CNN in 2010 as one of the TOP 10 Heroes of the world.
A graduate of Algonquin Regional High School, Saffran has spent more than seven years volunteering in life skills classes for intellectually, developmentally, and physically disabled students and was hired as the youngest employee in the program as a special education aide. The friendships she developed and skills she learned through her volunteering work and working with her brother, who has autism, led to her work with the Special Olympics, where she was a coach for 12 years. While a middle school student she started a local version of the "R-Word: Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign. This campaign was designed to educate students about the negative use of the word "retarded." She is also an active member of Best Buddies.
Wheelock College created the Passion for Action Scholarship Program in 2007 for outstanding incoming Wheelock students from Greater Boston. The scholarship provides a $20,000 annual award toward Wheelock College tuition and is paired with a unique academic program which develops students' leadership and community service skills. The first Passion Scholars graduated from Wheelock in May 2012; there are currently 17 Passion Scholars enrolled. Five scholarships are awarded every year to members of the incoming class.
The proceeds from the 2013 Passion for Action Leadership Award Dinner will support the growth of this special scholarship program.

Some of the animals are pictured above, though they have 14 designs in total which include a giraffe, cat and hippo (not pictured.) The designs are thoughtful: the penguin pack has a fish shaped pull on the zipper and a shiny stiff beak, the fox has a furry red tail and the dog has a bone for its zipper pull and each pack has a writable name tag inside. The packs are the right size for small backs but carry quite a bit; the main cavity is large enough for clothes, toys, books and a lunch. The front pocket has a inner mesh pocket that holds pens and small items in place.We have had our dog pack for 4 years and when it gets dirty or sticky with old lollipops, I throw it in the wash and it looks as good as new. The other features I like: they are BPA-Free, Phthalate-free and have padded, adjustable straps so my kids can share one. What I don't like: the side mesh pocket is not deep enough to take the weight of a full stainless water bottle; the bottle just flips out of the pocket. Surprisingly, the high quality ZOO Packs are the least expensive pack I have found. Though I have never seen the packs on sale, their regular price at $20 even beats out Lands' Ends sale prices for their sturdy backpacks! This is my favorite kids' backpack because of its clever designs and sturdiness.
Hanna Andersson has a wide selection of kids' backpacks and their line of Be Right Backpacks (on sale for $15-20) are adorable and have a variety of designs from icons to animals. We have a Hanna Andersson backpack from two seasons ago and although we loved the look and sturdiness of it, the zipper broke after a year. On their site, I see that others have complained about the stiffness of the zipper too, so I don't think we are the only ones. This pack can carry a lot and has a nicely sized front pocket that can carry small books and pencils. The straps are easily adjustable and padded. I do love the deep and wide mesh pockets on this backpack: it is the only one that held up with weighted water bottles over time. (We continued to use our pack even after the zipper broke.) At their current sale price, the Hanna Andersson packs are a good buy.
This small backpack from Land's End is perfect for a preschooler or toddler and it's appropriately named, "My First Gadgets Backpack" (on sale at $26.99). It is lightweight and small enough that a younger child won't feel overburdened by it. It will hold a change of clothes, some toys and a book (and of course the Ugly doll that comes with it), but not much else.
If you want a bigger backpack…..try Land's End Comic Strip Classmate backpacks (on sale at $26.99) in either small, medium or large. The advantage of these packs is that you can really size them according to your child's height. The designs will appeal to small and big kids also. These backpacks hold a lot, including tall folders, books, clothes and water bottle. There is an external lash strap for tying items to the outside- like a shirt. An adjustable sternum strap helps keep shoulder straps in place and a little mesh pocket on the straps is great for any electronic devices or just a favorite small toy. The shoulder straps are padded and adjustable too. The mesh pockets do rip easily with heavily weighted objects. If you are looking for a pack for the smallest of your bunch, "My First Gadgets Backpack" is a good bet and for your older kids, I do like the Classmate backpack for its design and sizing.

Houston Texas Rule WR Johnson Out for 3rd Straight Game
As anticipated the Houston Texans have ruled out Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson for Sunday's pivotal AFC South game against the Tennessee Titans that will decide who holds sole possession of first place in the division. Full back James Casey however is listed as a game-time decision despite not practicing all week.
Johnson is continuing to recover from the surgery he had to help the healing process of the torn hamstring he suffered in the win against Pittsburgh back on Oct. 2nd. Casey meanwhile suffered a torn pectoral muscle a week later in the loss to Oakland.
"He's come a long ways," Kubiak said of Casey. "He didn't practice this week, but he's a guy I feel comfortable could play, so I'll watch him Sunday morning and try to make a decision on him. He's been a very important piece of what we've been doing from the start. We need to get him back on the field."
The Texans head into Sundays game siting at 3-3 after back to back losses, while the Titans are coming off a bye week sitting at 3-2.

One of the annual rituals we delight in is carving pumpkins for Halloween. An evening around the table with a few gourds and maybe some hot apple cider — how fun is that? Now, imagine doing it all year round. That's Christopher Matinas' job.
Christopher is responsible for the Halloween Time decor on Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A. — installation and removal of the holiday elements every year, maintaining and refurbishing the decorations when they aren't on display, and creating new ones. Since Main Street, U.S.A. is bedecked with more than 300 jack o' lanterns every fall, that means replacing damaged ones and adding new ones is a big part of his job. In fact, with Halloween Time 2013 in full swing, Christopher is now busy carving pumpkins for 2014 — he'll be carving about 115 pumpkins between now and next September.
Obviously, Christopher isn't working with garden-variety gourds. He uses foam models cast from actual pumpkins, in all shapes and sizes. Some of next years', he says, are even covered with "warts." The pumpkins are fragile and although improved storage techniques have increased their lifespan, they're still prone to breakage. Carving a jack o' lantern takes him about three to seven minutes (all that practice helps!), and each face is unique; he says that the pumpkins "kind of suggest to me what face they should have." This year, keep an eye out for a special Elvis pumpkin in the Main Street record store — "In the past I've done Mickeys and other characters, but time has taken its toll!" he says.
With all that carving expertise, what kind of Halloween extravaganza does Christopher produce at home? He laughs when we ask the question. "To be honest, I don't carve pumpkins at home so much anymore!"

JERUSALEM — Hamas declared a formal end to its cease-fire with Israel on Thursday, ruling out an extension of a 6-month-old pact that had begun to fray weeks ago with tit-for-tat attacks across Israel's border with the Gaza Strip.
Fawzi Barhoum, a spokesman for the militant group that governs Gaza, said the truce was expiring early today. He said it was not being renewed because "the enemy refused to comply" with promises to lift a crippling blockade of the Palestinian enclave.
The decision's immediate effect was unclear. Hamas stopped short of threatening an escalation of rocket and mortar attacks, and Israeli officials said they were reluctant to launch a major military offensive in the densely populated territory.
But the collapse of the Egyptian-brokered accord dimmed hope of a long-term calm that could help Israel avoid friction with moderate Arab nations. It raised the threat of fresh strikes on southern Israeli towns within rocket range of Gaza and a tighter squeeze on the coastal strip's 1.5-million Palestinians, already short of food, fuel, electricity and other essential goods.
"The truce was always fragile, with numerous violations by each side from the beginning," said Robert Pastor, an American University professor who joined former President Jimmy Carter in meeting Hamas leaders in Syria last weekend. He also went to Jerusalem, without Carter, to discuss the truce with Israel.
Pastor said both sides still have an opportunity to revive and expand the accord, "but this will become less likely if the pattern of rockets and retaliation continues."
Israel has sharply restricted movement across its border with Gaza since Hamas, whose charter calls for destroying the Jewish state, won the Palestinian Authority's parliamentary elections in 2006 and launched near-daily rocket attacks from Gaza. The boycott was tightened after the Islamic group seized full control of the territory in June 2007, ousting the rival Fatah movement.
Hamas' truce with Israel was the first such accord to call for easing the blockade. It was conditioned on observance of a "mutual and simultaneous calm" by the Israeli army and Gaza's well-armed paramilitary units.
Although violence and casualties dropped sharply during the cease-fire, neither side was satisfied. The truce began to unravel Nov. 4, when Israeli forces entered Gaza for the first time since June to blow up a tunnel.

MURFREESBORO — A complete splitof the state's public and private high schools did not take place at Wednesday's meeting of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association's Legislative Council, but the concept is not far from the forefront.
By a 7-2 vote, the council opted to form a committee to gather information on the long-term effects of such a "fundamental change." That committee will consist of Legislative Council members, Board of Control members and officials from the state's private schools.
Previous: Coaches react to possible TSSAA changes
"I'm not saying we're for or against the proposal," TSSAA executive director Bernard Childress said, referring to the request by officials from Trousdale County and Lewis County to separate the two groups of schools for the 2015-16 school year.
"Every school needs to have an opportunity to know the ramifications because they're huge. It's a fundamental change in our organization. You can't put an organization together for 89 years and be successful for 89 years and look at rewriting the bylaws and dismantling everything that has been successful in one meeting.
"All those people they say they've heard from haven't looked at all 21 state championships we sanction in Division I and Division II. They haven't looked at the governance of this organization, what the structure would look like, the representation on the Board and the Council. That's what we have to look at to keep this organization sound. We didn't want a knee-jerk reaction to the proposal or a decision to be made without all those things being discussed."

Final Fantasy XIII
Review by asian1
"Great Game, but unworthy of Final Fantasy name."
Final Fantasy XIII was definitely a title FF and non-FF fans alike, were curious about. Years back we were shown the teaser trailer and everyone had their positive and negative vibes from it. I've played every FF up until now and played through them as well. My expectations for this game were not high, yet they were not low. If anything, I was curious to see what Square-Enix would do after they failed to keep up the momentum of the series with XII.
I completely agree with the headlines of Game Informer's review of FFXIII, where they said that Square-Enix delivered a good game, but not a savior. In that aspect, FFXIII was definitely a good game, but if only it didn't have the Final Fantasy name. Many FF fans were probably already turned off to the series after Sakaguchi left and the dissappointment of FFXII.
After completing FFXIII, I must say that the game was better than I had expected. The story was unique, but nothing spectacular. The characters finally had more color and chemistry between each other, it was obvious Square-Enix wanted to focus on the characters more this time around. The battle system is extremely addicting and I did not find a problem with that change. Although, the game did undergo multiple changes, I did not mind them as much as I thought I would. As a FF fan, I played the game as if I was playing a non-FF titled game. What made the game a FF would probably have to be the signature characters such as chocobos, moogle shops, and familiar Eidolons,item names, weapon names, etc. Another problem with the game was its notorious linearity. I, personally, did not find the linearity as bothersome, but the fact that backtracking was limited to none at all was a bit irritating. The game does indeed open up from chapter 11 to 13, but when I say limited, it is indeed limited. The sidequests consist of monster hunts as from XII, but it allows you to further explore the vast areas of the world. I believe Square-Enix wanted to focus on the story and told it with more of a movie-like perspective than like the older games. In other words, exploring was limited throughout the game in order for the player to enjoy the scenary and story. The graphics were amazing and well done. Square-Enix might have overdone it by overdecorating, but that made the game spectacular eye-candy. The music was done by co-composer to Final Fantasy X's soundtrack, so if you were a fan of X's soundtrack, you'd probably enjoy XIII's. The music wasn't as memorable, but some themes you just can't help but hum to yourself. Battle theme? Epic.
Overall, the game was indeed worth the money, but if you're an longtime FF fan as I am, you won't find FF nostalgia as much. The game is great as an RPG and Square-Enix brought some new elements to the table, but FF is changing rapidly and fans better start realizing that. Final Fantasy as most loved it, died after X in my opinion. (Basically the Squaresoft to Enix merging) Since the company is no longer Squaresoft, you should already expect great changes to their games. Do I recommend this game to others? Definitely. It's an RPG you don't want to miss out on.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

10 Ways to Soothe Your Home: A Guide To Creating a Peaceful Environment
by Sarojni Mehta-Lissak
In these busy times, we mothers often find ourselves rushing to and from activities, jobs, appointments and errands. But how do we de-compress and reduce the pace of our lives to face the next wave of responsibilities and sometimes demanding schedules? We can start by creating a calm haven within our homes, a place where we feel safe, comforted and at peace—a place where daily renewal is not only a practice—but a necessity.
One of the most important aspects of renewal is quietude. When our environment is peaceful, it allows our nervous systems to relax so we can process all that comes our way during the day. It also allows us to re-evaluate and plan for the next set of endeavors. A soothing home is especially important for children, whose bodies are naturally on the move. Because they typically seek stimulation, it is important to teach children how to slow down, and it is important to create periods of time in each day which are quiet. Practicing this will contribute to an overall calm in a home and ultimately bring increased harmony to family members.
To begin creating a more peaceful home start with de-cluttering the main room where you and your family spend the most time. If it's the family room, give it a good "going through." Clutter can be agitating and visually stimulating. After clearing out the unnecessary things, follow some suggestions below for creating a soothing home atmosphere:
- Turn off the TV
This is clearly a noise producer in a home. Limit TV watching to specific times in the day (or week)—or perhaps not at all. Screen images flash at a rapid speed creating anxiety, and many can also be violent and aggressive—not conducive to a peaceful lifestyle. Reduce this exposure by putting TV on hold.
- Light candles
There's nothing more soothing than looking at the warm glow of a candle with its gentle flicker. Place a few in the room that you use the most, and enjoy the ambiance candles can create. Remember: Keep candles and matches out of reach of the little ones!
- Play soothing music
This could be any kind of music your family enjoys as long as it is soothing. Try Mozart, instrumental music, nature CD's or classical guitar music.
- Keep the activity level low
Especially in the evening, it is important to slow things down. As a family, play board games, read, play cards or have poetry readings. These activities can help everyone unwind from a busy day. Try knitting, too, a great soother!
- Practice aromatherapy
Buy a diffuser at a local health food store, put some water in it, place 2-3 drops of lavender oil in the water, then light the candle. Lavender is a calming essential oil and works well to quiet the nervous system.
- Bring nature into your home
Have houseplants in various areas of your home. These green plants not only cleanse the air and provide oxygen, they also soothe your soul. Also, have fresh flowers whenever possible—colors lift the mood and please the eyes.
- Limit computer time
Being on the computer is a big temptation for many people and often a necessity for doing research, writing papers or communicating with friends. But at times, it can also be a time-grabber like TV. Though it's not noisy like a TV, it can pull people away from each other. In the evenings, try to bring family members together in one room for a quiet activity. This increases conversation time, allows for sharing and ultimately creates tighter family bonds.
- Turn off the ringer
Cherish family times—especially mealtimes! When family members are sitting together having a meal or an important conversation, there's nothing more distracting than having the phone ring. Family time is precious time. Preserve it.
- Use room-darkening techniques
Turn down the lights (dimmer switches are great for this), adjust the blinds, use sheer curtains to filter strong sunlight. These techniques signal "quiet timea^?? has begun.
- Use artwork as a window to tranquility
Place art on your walls that you enjoy looking at. Note how it makes you feel: peaceful, happy, contemplative, calm. Remember, everyone will be looking at it, so try to choose art that is conducive to a peaceful environment.
As you embark on creating a soothing home for yourself and your family members, think about what helps you feel renewed and calm. It may be as simple as placing a potted plant on a windowsill or it may be sitting quietly with distractions kept at bay. Whatever changes you make, ultimately you are also teaching your children how to find peace in the midst of a fast-paced world, and that's a skill they can use for a life time.

President of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) Mustafa Kamal has said that the Bangladesh team might not tour Pakistan due to "shortage of time", Express News reported on Tuesday.
Pakistan had invited Bangladesh for a three-match one-day series in April this year in a bid to revive international cricket at home.
While discussing the proposed schedule by Pakistan between April 15 to April 2, 2012, Kamal explained that a meeting of International Cricket Council (ICC) was scheduled on April 14 and that the team was busy with some other engagements.
Kamal said that Bangladesh also wanted revival of international cricket in Pakistan.
Responding to Kamal's statement, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said that no official information had been received from Bangladesh.
International cricket teams have refused to tour Pakistan since gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan team in Lahore in March 2009.
