A card is considered to be inverted or reversed when it is placed in a reversed position. If, for example, the card is placed vertically, its top edge will face the bottom of the spread. The card is read normally as part of the spread but carries an altered meaning.
The use of inverted tarot cards may seem intimidating, but they are not inherently bad. They simply represent a counterpoint to each card's standard meanings. Consider the balanced energies of the yin and yang: each exists as a reflection of the other. There are those who choose not to make use of inverted cards. The introduction of any negativity to a reading is something they would prefer to avoid.
Inverted cards are a useful tool for understanding the context of a card's position in the spread. Contrasting the inverted cards with their conventional counterparts can help understand the tone of the reading. Continue reading

Help!? Freezing! What Do I Cover Cactus With?
Hi, I'm new here though I've been reading the forums for a few months now - mostly for ways to deal with the sun and heat - Oh, the irony! Everything is freezing now.
I've looked over the forums and many of you mention covering your plants, but what do you cover them with?
The last freeze we tried t-shirt material, but all of our regular plants still died. Though the cactus weren't covered that time, they were fine. Not so this time...
Today I went out and EVERY single cactus out there except for our really old barrel cactus, is either so drooped over it's nearly hitting the ground - or [a few at least :( ]feel like over-cooked cucumbers.
Do they have any chance of coming back?
For the last two years all of our plants and cactus have been just fine, so I am really clueless - please help?
We live near Prince & Flowing Wells (in Tucson) and there's both a Lowe's and a Home Depot nearby if you know of a certain product we could buy at either, I will happy write down the info and go right away.
Thanks _so much_ for any help!
(x-posted to the AZ forum)
I am also new to southwest. Last year all my potted plants died in the winter. Since a greenhouse is not possible in my backyard, I researched for something effective to cover the plants with. I found a synthetic fabric called frost cover or frost fleece. I have been using that to cover all my potted plants in the backyard patio this winter and so far even the tropical climate plants are alive (even with temperature in 20s). We haven't had frost yet so I can not say how it will hold up with that.
I found this fabric in local nursery. Home depot and lowes do not carry this. Advantage over burlap is that when burlap gets wet in rain/water from sprinklers, it would be damaging to the plants. Frost/winter fleece breaths well, lets the sunshine in, does not damage plants in rain/water.
If you can not find it in your local nursery you will find it over the internet.
Thanks dew80!
Thanks for explaining the problems with burlap. We might've gotten that instead because of the price difference, but now I know better.
We've been to the nursery and bought a bunch of the frost fabric and so far, so good, I think. Though a few of the plants that were damaged smell sort of "bad" under it, and they still might die - The ones that weren't too damaged might live now.
We've had one other really cold night (but not down to a mere 10 degrees!), and none of the plants look worse for it.
Hope your plants do well during a freeze. With this fabric they really might :)
Take care,
we use that same type of frost cloth to cover the plants we deliver here in kansas. I work for a greenhouse and part of our job is to cover and uncover the plants for frost protection. but remember that it protects from frost but if it gets to cold you can get cell structure damage that could also cause your plants to die. the cloth doesn't protect from the cold so much. I would still recomend bring inside whatever you can if it gets to cold (if you are doing container gardening).

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New Tim Hortons CEO dishes on menu plans, vending machines and the 'must-win' battle for the U.S.
OAKVILLE, Ont. -- Tim Hortons Inc. chief executive officer Marc Caira says Canada's largest coffee-and-doughnut chain must succeed in the U.S. as competition brings slower growth at home.
"The U.S. for me is what I call a must-win battle," Caira, 59, said this week at a Tim Hortons coffee shop near the company's Oakville headquarters.
Caira took over as CEO in July.
In Canada, "my view is this battle is in a new reality, and that this new reality is lower growth, more consumers being value-conscious, more competitive intensity," Caira said.
Everything from cup sizes to doughnut selection is under the microscope at Tim Hortons as Caira settles into his role and begins a widespread review of the chain's operations.
Caira is looking for ways to boost the reputation of the already iconic company, and he wants to improve how customers feel about their experience at the counter, which he calls "the moment of truth" for any quick-service restaurant.
"If you make a mistake there, then you're impacting the consumer, and today's new reality (is) you can't afford to do that," he said.
"You cannot give consumers permission to go somewhere else."
Tim Hortons' U.S. growth strategy has been criticized by Highfields Capital Management of Boston and New York-based Scout Capital Management, which have said there hasn't been sufficient return on the $664 million the company invested in the past decade. The investors own 2.6 per cent and 5.7 per cent of Tim Hortons shares respectively, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Caira said his "capital light" growth strategy in the U.S. will rely on franchisees being able to hold multiple restaurants in a small area and buy advertising in local media as he tries to revive growth in a chain approaching saturation at home.
Tim Hortons had 3,468 restaurants in Canada at the end of June, nearing the 4,000 restaurants past management flagged as the maximum the country can handle.
Caira said he will reevaluate the 4,000 number to see if it's still appropriate. The current focus is boosting profitability at existing restaurants facing more competition as Starbucks and McDonald's expand in the country, he said.
Tim Hortons shares closed at $59.27 Tuesday. The shares have gained 22 per cent this year compared with a 3.1 per cent advance in the Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index.
Tim Hortons, which claims to sell eight out of 10 cups of coffee in Canada, is already a leader among quick-service restaurants for breakfast and is catching up to the leader in lunch, Caira said, declining to name the competition.
"We'll get to dinner," Caira said. He did not say when or what the menu could look like.
Sales grew 9.4 per cent last year compared with 12.5 per cent in 2011 and 14.2 per cent in 2004, data compiled by Bloomberg News show.
Caira, who came out of retirement to take the top job at Tim Hortons after his previous post as an executive at Nestl©, the world's biggest food maker, said he saw other revenue opportunities attaching the Tim Hortons brand to consumer products for sale in stores, like it does with single-serve coffee.
"If you work in an office, why should you not have some Tim Hortons' products in your office?" he said. "I come from an industry where from a technology standpoint, vending machines have come a long way. Why can't you have Tim Hortons in vending machines?" Such moves would add incremental sales and value, he said.
The company said sales at stores open at least 12 months would end the year below target when it announced Aug. 8 second-quarter earnings rose 14 per cent to 81 cents a share from a year earlier, above analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
New beverages to appeal to younger customers, such as milk-based and juice-based drinks, along with marketing focused on health and wellness are other ways Caira says he can boost revenue. The U.S., however, is still the company's best hope for growth, he said.
"The U.S. will grow faster than Canada," the CEO said.
With 807 locations, Tim Hortons' U.S business made up about 18.8 per cent of its total store network in the second quarter and accounted for 32.6 per cent of capital expenditures, while bringing in only 6.1 per cent of revenue, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"We are going to invest capital in the U.S., but we're going to do it in a different way," he said. "We'll be looking for partners that not only have the capital, but more importantly understand the market, and have access to things we don't have access to, ie. real estate, ie. media."

Letter: YourSay - Appeal's support.
ON BEHALF of children's charity NCH, I would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to all of your readers who have helped make our West Midlands Disability Appeal a huge success.
The Mail also deserves thanks for running regular stories on the appeal.
Over the past two years, we have been working to raise at least pounds 250,000 to help us run five local centres, including the Birmingham Community Children's Centre in Winson Green, that are making a real difference to over 1,300 children and young people with disabilities.
The appeal has now ended and thanks to the generosity and support of local people, it has raised a wonderful pounds 305,000.
Businesses based in the Birmingham area have also played a huge role in this success.
Anyone wanting to help us fund-raise or make a donation can still call 0121 321 5180 or write to NCH Disability Appeal, 8 Mill Street, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands B72 1TJ. Please make cheques payable to NCH.

low (lawn-looking?) groundcover for 17'x17' area?
Originally I had wanted to do a checkerboard design for our small front yard - square off 2'x2' min areas of different soft and hard surfaces. I am unsure of how to install the hardsurfaces at this point and still don't really want to do a lawn because I suspect it will require lots of water during the summer and it would be a pain to drag a mower out for such a small area...
Any recommendations for a low lawn-looking ground cover.
I'm all new to gardening and am rather lots and overwelmed...
Open to all ideas and suggestions on what to do here!!
Mondo grass would be a good bet if you want something low growing that resembles grass.
How much shade/sun do you get here?
If you want something that flowers, try Vinca (Periwinkle) for part shade.
Dwarf perennial chamomile?
Creeping or wooly thyme?
Irish or Scotch moss are lawn looking & used in Japanese gardens. I like how easily it is spreading at the edges of the gravel driveway. Sure beats weeds!
There are a few groundcovers that I've been using in my part sun/shade areas, though none are grass like.
spotted dead nettle (Lamiums)
golden creeping Jenny (Lysimachia)
creeping Veronica ped... 'Georgia Blue'
Lamium mac 'Aurea' on the right (pointed bright green leaves w/ pink flowers)
golden creeping Jenny on the left (round leaves)
My top pick that puts up with foot traffic is Ajuga reptans & I like the way it's filled in between stepping stones near my hose reel. It isn't fussy about soil & seems to spread more if moist, but does okay with less water if you mulch well. You might find out how it does locally for you on a regional forum.
In this 7a area I find Mazus repens does well, and it stays green, all Winter. Ajuga is tough, evergreen, here and only needs to have spent flower heads sheared off once a year.
But I do pull tree seedlings, etc. from the rug-like ground-covers from time to time.
Mondo grass would be much more costly, as I don't think it would spread like the two plants above, but it is beautiful and seems weed omitting.

The story follows Matsutarō Sakaguchi, a giant roughneck man with strength far beyond ordinary people. He never uttered words like "work hard," "strive," and "dream" like the typical shōnen manga protagonist. However, he is stronger than anyone and peerless in sumo wrestling. His greatest weakness is his own carefree personality.

In addition to the ever-present moisture, winter months (October to April) bring a lot of precipitation, most of the 60 – 80 inches of annual precipitation falls during this time of year. The California coast line keeps Redwood National Park weather temperature between 40 – 60 degrees year round. Conditions become warmer and drier as you move inland.
Redwood National Park Tours and Camping
There are four developed campgrounds and an overnight use area for visitors who want to experience the park's nightlife.

Bay Area has 7th straight below average month for temperatures.
Why be the bearer of bad news-I need to vent! Just crazy monotonous days 73F~ every single day,fog breaks like clockwork to full sun at 10:30 am-set your clock to it too!
Not very bad as its sunny..not windy..and warm in the sun..but not summer like. The last warm spell was early June? I think Hayward must be getting close to a record of most summer days in a row without hitting 80f. If we didnt already.
Ditto down here in SoCal. We are 10 degr. below normal both at coast and inland. Setting 'low' temp records for July/August.
Here is a link that might be useful: Western Climate Summaries
Here in socal, abc7 in LA said this could be the coolest August on record if things continue.
I am enjoying the 80-95 instead of 100+. Almost everyday though its been breezy and thats not good cuz of drying out for fires.
Just recently one day (July I think) the beaches set a record for their lowest high at 69 degrees since weather records been tracked.
But I can understand it being cool at the beach...
While my tomatoes are suffering, my pole beans, cucumbers and zucchini are producing like crazy. I figured when life gives us lemons, we make lemonade, so I'm pulling up the disastrous sweet peppers and starting peas and broccoli. (Will probably induce a giant heat wave, heh).
I have to admit, I'm enjoying the savings on water as well. I'm only watering my veggies about once a week here in Sonoma County. And since my hobby is concrete garden art, these temps are just right.
yes, love this weather (especially hubby - he's from georgia!) but my poor tomatoes! i've yet to eat just one!!
well, at least this weather is making my broccoli, which i thought was done, produce like crazy (i think), and the one little romaine lettuce plant i left as an experiment, is going like gangbusters. oh, and so is my cabbage.
here it is 1:44pm and the sun has JUST come out!
well, if this continues, i'll probably start my winter seedlings!

New efforts by educators and new laws address taunting, violence, cyberbullying
Hilltop teacher Louise Fericelli, who supervises the Connect Crew program, said having older students intervene with peers allows the school to address problems in the early stages. "The first time the Connect Crew hears about a ninth-grader being bullied by a 10th-grader, we will have a senior go talk to the 10th-grader in a calm, reasonable way and the 10th-grader will stop," she said.
Hilltop also has dealt with cyberbullying involving students creating Facebook pages with false names with the goal of tormenting specific students.
"We had a case last year where a number of senior girls were targeted and people were writing hateful things about a group of girls who were quite popular," Fericelli said. "… That kind of thing spreads like wildfire, and it can be difficult to find the culprit and to stop the damage."
Students sometimes are in tears at school over things written about them on the Internet, said Hilltop senior Elizabeth Eisermann, in her second year in the Connect Crew. "When people take it to Facebook, it really does affect them," she said.
Fericelli said administrators talked to the teen who was suspected of creating the page and teachers spread the word to students that it was "not cool" to look at the site.
"It took a week or two, but eventually we were able to at least get people to move on to something else."

Wow, if that was from the guy ejected from his apartment, I think some major criminal charges should be leveled against him.
Inciting a riot, fale advertising, criminal mischief, battery, libel, ect.

That's hilarious. And awesome.
Some people think its just a joke when people say this, but the internet really is serious business.
This is one of the reasons why I don't like sites like myspace, you get all the stupid "normal/trendy" people who think that the internet is some novel fad or fashionable thing and think, "O wow kewl, I'm gonna make my own website and put pictures of me and my (scantily clad) girl friends online and then everyone can see how kewl and awesome I am, and everyone will want to be my friend." not realising that they are just like all the other thousands of vapid idiots posting very personal details for the entire world and its dog to see.
You see all these articles about PTAs complaining about there not being enough warnings to prevent people from getting into trouble, the fact is there probably aren't enough warnings, but the main problem is that people are just stupid.
i hear about this kind of stuff all the time, and seriously only idiots let that happen. besides, that girl is stupid for letting all 200 people in whom she claimed she didnt know. im betting she lied.

American depositary receipts (ADRs) were developed to give investors an easier way to invest in foreign companies. An ADR is a financial product issued by U.S. depositary banks and traded on U.S.stock exchanges such as the NYSE and the Nasdaq. Since each ADR represents one or more shares of a foreign stock, or a fraction of a share, when you purchase an ADR, you are essentially purchasing shares of a foreign company.
The primary advantage of trading in ADRs is that they reduce the hassle of purchasing stocks in foreign countries with uncommon types of currency. However, although ADRs are traded in U.S. dollars on local exchanges, they are not protected from the political and exchange-rate risk that is prevalent in the home country of the company purchased.
Initially, foreign companies used ADRs to increase their exposure within the North American market. More recently, some companies have decided to delist their ADRs from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /?>U.S. exchanges for a variety of reasons. Some have delisted their ADRs based on corporate decisions that have reduced the amount of business done within the U.S. Decisions such as these can be made based on changing economic conditions within the U.S. and foreign markets. For other foreign companies, the ADRs represented an extremely small portion of the equity that they had issued and these ADRs had very low trading volumes. These firms also found that U.S. residents owned primarily ordinary shares within the company, rather than ADRs.
When a firm decides to delist an ADR program, investors holding the ADRs are always reimbursed for what they own. Usually, investors are allowed to exchange their ADRs for ordinary shares of the company. Investors are also given the opportunity to tender their ADRs for cash, less fees and expenses.

New window height - help please!
We are adding 2 new windows to a wall in our kitchen remodel. The windows will be narrow and will be on either side of our range/range hood. Here is a mock-up of what it will look like
The current window over the sink is staying the same. The height on that window is 39.5" and the actual window is about 6" above the countertop. Here is a picture of it in our old kitchen (pre-remodel)
we will not have that short backsplash in the new kitchen. The backsplash will be tiled.
What I am wondering is if it would look OK to make the new windows on the range wall slightly taller than the sink window so that they would come down towards the countertop more.
What do you think? Or would it look better for the new windows to be the same height as the existing sink window?
You may have to raise the header if raising the windows but not if lowering from existing height. I like to run the countertop right into the window using it as a stool. Make sure to coordinate this with your cabinet, countertop and window installers.
If using vinyl windows keep in mind PVC starts to decompose at about 280 degree F and could be damaged from hot grease.
toddinmn - Thank you! My husband is the cabinet and window installer. We'll have someone else install the countertop. I dont think I will go all the way down to the counter, but will have the bottom trim piece below the window sill reach the bottom of the counter.
That is good to know about vinyl windows. We were planning on doing vinyl. Our range will be a Bluestar which has a high BTU output. The back left burner is a simmer burner and the back right burner is 15,000 BTUs. The range will be 8" away from the windows. And then of course the windows will be a few inches above the countertop. Do you think I need to go with a wood window instead? Or will vinyl be OK?
I think we've decided to go with a casement window so its easier to open for me.
This post was edited by khallock on Fri, May 17, 13 at 9:16
My own personal opinion is that it would be best to keep the window height consistent for both appearance and to keep them further from the heat source. Vinyl will be more sensitive to that heat, however if the are is getting hot enough to cause deformation or damage to the vinyl, it could most certainly have negative effects on other materials (and their finishes) as well. I'd talk to the appliance people about your situation, as they may be able to offer some additional perspective.
If it was me I would drop all windows down to counter as low as possible. I think it looks cleaner and it is easier since you don't have to tile or put a trim below the window.
Keep in mind windows made of other materials usually have vinyl parts on them as well.
Maybe you could put a thermometer next to you stove and see how hot it gets.My guess is you'd be fine temp wise but spattering grease would be likely to do more harm.
I wouldn't worry to much about the countertop,trim or tile as they can withstand the heat.

I want to help you get organized—I really do. But I'm not going to come over to your house and help you clean out your closet.
I want to show you how to feel organized within yourself so you can clear out the clutter in your schedule, household, and daily life. I approach life management and household organization with a down-to-earth, Jesus perspective that all moms can relate to, no matter how organized—or unorganized—they are!
Instead, I want to help you recognize and clear out the clutter in your spirit.
I've got talks, organizing articles, a blog, and a book all waiting for you! So, make yourself at home and get ready to bring out your inner "Jesus Mom" as you organize your entire household, and become better connected to your family and your Lord!
Blessings to you, Jesus Moms,
Shannon Upton -
Fellow Jesus Mom, Speaker, and Author of Organizing You
I've been taking my show on the road! In the past few months, I've spoken in Michigan, Indiana, Texas, and of course, Ohio! I'd love to come and speak at your church, so be sure to check out my speaking FAQs here.
The Organizing You Blog is here! The posts are like devotionals with a kick—realistic ways to apply scripture to your life, often with an organizational component. I'll be blogging about twice a week, and the posts are for everyone! So far I've written post series called Walking with Young David, Being Instrumental with Paul, Straight Talk with Amos, and Walking on the Roof with King David. Check them out here!
And last but not least, I'd love to encourage you to greet spring by starting an Organizing You Group Bible Study! Remember, the curriculum is free, all you need is a copy of Organizing You and a group of friends to take the journey with you. And you can always read Organizing You on your own with the "Steps Along the Journey" guide that's in the back...I just want you to read it and clear out some spiritual clutter!
"At the MOPS Leadership Connection Event last summer, all of the other Central Ohio MOPS coordinators said Shannon Upton was the speaker to book - the one their moms raved about! I rushed home and sent a message to her the same night. She more than delivered - she was open and relatable, and shared great practical advice.
Our steering group unanimously voted to ask her back for next year."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
An entrepreneur extraordinaire
IT firm founder legendary for mentoring others
It's almost not fair to the other nominees that Michael Legary is one of the finalists in the BDC's Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Not only was the 32-year-old founder of Winnipeg information-technology security firm Securis Inc. named one of the eight finalists in that award program this week, he was also named Manitoba patron for a new national private-sector support program for entrepreneurs called Startup Canada.
Legary is also becoming legendary in the city for helping other entrepreneurs through a community innovation space, or "makerspace," called AssentWorks he funded and helped found.
With plenty of Legary's own cash and sweat equity from him and AssentWorks co-founders David Bernhardt and Kerry Stevenson, they have put together a facility in a warehouse space on Adelaide Street with industrial machinery such as plasma cutters, CNC (computer numerical control) machines, 3D printers and a shop full of tools donated by Princess Auto and the Tallman Foundation. It's there for folks to build their ideas into a prototype reality (a small membership fee is required).
On a higher level, what they have created is a community of entrepreneurs and inventors -- numbering about 75 members -- who use the facility and the equipment with the help of Legary and a growing crew of super-skilled volunteers.
"I couldn't be happier with how it's gone," Legary said about AssentWorks, which has only been open since last fall. "There are such amazing folks who are using it."
Even though he's running an IT security firm with about 85 employees, offices across the country and high-end customers as far away as South Africa, the indefatigable Legary is at AssentWorks almost every day, providing advice and encouragement.
"Every time I'm there, someone blows my mind with an amazing idea or an amazing skill, or something I have never thought of before," he said.
For instance, AssentWorks has helped a couple of young snowboard manufacturers in Winnipeg save thousands of dollars and months of time to develop prototypes.
Matthew Olson, 21, one of the partners of Home Snowboards, said, "Since the day we got in there, Mike has pushed us along. He's been great. The most awesome thing about Mike is that he gets things done. He makes sure we see things through to the end."
Despite the fact Legary is so much more accomplished and successful, he may be more impressed with Olson than the other way around.
In his pitch for the BDC award, Legary is proposing cash investments to help form community innovation spaces across the country.
(This year, finalists in the BDC award program submit a one- to two-minute video explaining an innovation project and how it will help their business grow. Online voting at https://www.bdcyoungentrepreneuraward.ca/ will decide the winner of the $100,000 prize.)
It's that sincere effort to help other entrepreneurs that Jan Lederman, chairwoman of Innovate Manitoba, says sets Legary apart: "Mike is a young entrepreneur who is creative, innovative, started a company with positive growth and is already at a point where he's giving back to the province and the city."
Innovate Manitoba is the local partner for Startup Canada that will hold a number of launch events in Winnipeg during the second week of June.
Innovate Manitoba made Legary the Manitoba patron for the organization where he will be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Brett Wilson from Dragon's Den and Heather Reisman of Indigo Books.
Legary's interest in getting entrepreneurs to help other entrepreneurs is almost unprecedented in that there is virtually no public-sector support in sight at AssentWorks.

Building Sites with Mason
While Mason components can create headers and footers using the <& &> syntax we saw above, it becomes cumbersome to put such sections inside each top-level component we create. For this reason, Mason supports two special kinds of components, one called autohandler and the other dhandler.
If an autohandler component exists, it is invoked before each component in the directory. That is, the autohandler is invoked and can produce HTML output of its own before retrieving the component that was actually requested, with $m->call_next. For example, the following autohandler will put a uniform title and footer on each document in its directory:
 <Title>Welcome to our site!</Title>  <% $m->call_next %>
 <address>email@example.com</address>
dhandler, by contrast, is invoked if a component does not exist. In some ways, this allows us to rewrite the "404--No such file" error message that web sites often produce.
While autohandlers normally influence only their own directories, dhandlers affect all subdirectories. Thus, a dhandler in /foo will affect all documents in /foo/bar, but not in /bar. However, an autohandler in /foo will not affect items in either /foo/bar or /bar.
Now that we have seen how Mason can work for some simple tasks, let's look at some components I wrote for creating slide shows. Such presentations will not have the fancy wipes and graphics available with Microsoft's PowerPoint, but are more than adequate for most technically oriented groups.
The slide show component consists of an autohandler, a dhandler and one or more slides (text files) written in HTML. Each slide consists of a piece of HTML that will be stuck inside the . For example, the following could be a slide:

Short Presentation

This is my short presentation.

Inside the autohandler (Listing 2; see Resources) we have a <%once> section that defines several constants we will reuse, as well as @slides, an array containing the list of slides. For example, here is the value of @slides from a talk I recently gave:
my @slides = qw(start whoami free-software just-in-time databases mysql postgresql cgi mod_perl templates text::template minivend minivend-example mason mason-example mason-autohandler php jsp zope acs xml conclusion);By reordering the file names within @slides, I change the order of my presentation, and by removing or adding elements from @slides, I can change the length of the presentation.
The autohandler uses $m->scomp, described earlier, to retrieve the HTML associated with a slide. It uses this to retrieve any headline (in
 tags) it might find within the slide and uses the headline in the <Title> tag.
In addition, the autohandler produces links for the "previous" and "next" slides. We do this by getting the index of the current slide and retrieving the names from the array:
my $previous_slide = $slides[$current_slide_index - 1] || $slides[0]; my $next_slide = $slides[$current_slide_index + 1] || $slides[0];
Once we have the names of the previous and next slides, we can retrieve their headlines, making for attractive "previous" and "next" links:
# Grab the headline from the next component my $next_headline = $next_slide; my $next_contents = ($m->scomp($next_slide)); if ($next_contents =~ m|
(.+)
|igs) { $next_headline = $1; }One of the nice things about using this autohandler for slides is that it allows me to reorder or modify a talk by shifting the names of the files.
In addition to the autohandler, I installed a dhandler to take care of mistaken filenames:
 <Title>Error: No such page</Title>
Sorry, but the page <% $r->filename() %> does not exist.

Mason provides an environment balanced nicely between simple, easy-to-use templates and the complex, powerful underpinnings of mod_perl. If you ever considered using mod_perl on your site, but were scared away by the complexity, consider looking into Mason. Not only is Mason free software—a good thing, for a variety of reasons—but it is a proven tool that makes web development significantly easier than many of its counterparts. I hope to do much development in Mason over the coming months, and hope to share many of my experiences and code as I grow to enjoy this new tool.

Locke and Jack are strolling down the beach, with Jack pointing out that Rousseau is nuts; after all, she did blow up her own shelter to avoid being found again. "She's not playing with a full deck," says Jack, and Locke says that just because the woman's crazy doesn't mean she's wrong. Could maybe one of these guys at least try to remember Ethan kidnapping Claire and saying that they wanted the baby? Doesn't that make Rousseau's dire warning seem a lot less nuts and a little more, what's the phrase I'm looking for…oh yes, "already happening"? Jack says Locke can deal with "what ifs," but he prefers to deal with the tangible. Like this raft that they happen to come across with perfect timing! Jack asks Mercutio how things are going, and Mercutio says that he was hoping to shove off today, but once they get the rudder finished, they still have to lay down the rails to get it to the beach. Jack asks if it wouldn't be faster to do both jobs at once. What he doesn't point out is that the water is like ten feet from the boat, so laying the rails down isn't going to take forever. Mercutio says he has a "manpower shortage." Jack asks him what he needs. "Pretty much everybody," says Mercutio, like that's some kind of brilliant plan: if everybody on the island works together, the job will get done the fastest. Wish I'd thought of that. Jack asks for twenty minutes and scoots off.
So Jack has grabbed a group of the extras, and instructs them to get a bunch of palm tree logs, even though Mercutio's instructions weren't that specific, and take them over to the raft. And as the five extras peel off, we hear an "Okay!" and a "Let's get at 'er!" and you just know that those two extras are delivering those lines with as much gusto as they can muster in the hopes that they'll get noticed by J.J. and get an actual speaking part, like Art.
So then immediately, everyone (or at least enough of everyone to circle the raft) is using the logs as levers to lift the raft onto the rails. Even Shannon is helping, and I'd like to know how that little miracle occurred. Mercutio counts everyone in. Much grunting and straining, and good progress is made, at least until the raft gains a little momentum and goes off the rails, and I guess parts of it break. Mercutio starts yelling at Sawyer because he missed a lever or something, and Sawyer yells that it's not his fault Mercutio couldn't keep the thing straight, and you'd think both of them do this sort of thing all the time, the way they're acting like experts. Fortunately, Walt interrupts the festivities to point into the jungle, and everyone looks. Claire squints, and when she does so, she looks uncannily like Leonardo DiCaprio. I mean it. If you taped the episode, have a look, you'll see what I'm talking about. Got any ideas what they see? Yep: a long plume of black smoke. Jack stomps off in search of Rousseau.
She's shining and loading her rifle, like, what a ray of sunshine she adds to the camp, and Jack asks her how many of them are there. She says she's told them everything she knows already. Sayid says she must know more. Translation: all you've said is "the others are coming," you stupid bint. She says there's a bigger problem: she can vanish into the jungle, but she's just one person (that person being, apparently, a French ninja). "You're forty people. Where will you hide?" Locke looks at Jack.

Featuring what is arguably the bravest female performance ever put on film - namely, Isabelle Adjani's Cannes-winning turn of shamanistic intensity - the film dares its viewer to enter a trance-like state, in which genres blur and mate to yield a new level of cinematic expression.
The Festival International du Film, held annually in Cannes, France, has become the world's most prestigious film festival—the spot on the beach where the newest films from the world's top directors compete for both publicity and awards.

As a result of these and other conversations between Mormon and Jewish leaders, a historic breakthrough was achieved.
Last month, LDS leaders acknowledged that the church's practice of proxy baptism had "unintentionally caused pain" because of the inclusion of Holocaust victims in the religious rite. They announced that a new computer systems and policies have been put in place that should prevent the names of Holocaust victims from being included in LDS lists for proxy baptisms. Under the new church policies, Mormons will be required to certify names submitted to the church's genealogical database for baptism. Additional safeguards include monitoring those names for submissions that don't meet policy standards, and the removal of unacceptable names.
This action will be felt around the world and will help eliminate a festering source of tension between the Mormon and Jewish communities, strengthening our ability to cooperate on important issues in the United States and across the globe.
It will enhance the already sterling relationship between the LDS Church and the State of Israel, where thousands of young Mormon college students study every year at the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies.
We sincerely appreciate and applaud the leadership of the Mormon Church for demonstrating such extraordinary sensitivity on the Holocaust baptism issue. Together we are proving that open and honest dialogue can indeed lead us to greater understanding and a better, more respectful world for us, and our children.
Abraham H. Foxman is the National Director of the Anti-Defamation League. His books include "The Deadliest Lies: The Israel Lobby and the Myth of Jewish Control" and the forthcoming "Jews and Money: The Story of a Stereotype" (Palgrave Macmillan, November 2010).

Unique Squared Podcast Premier
As we were writing blogs, making videos, and generally keeping you guys up to date on Pro Audio and Mobile Studio news, we realized that there were a lot of things left out of our content. For that reason, we decided the best way to recap all the goings on in the world of gear, music, and UniqueSquared, was to record a podcast. Lonely Paul and Taylor are going to huddle around their microphones every week to give you all this information, their opinions, and even a chance for listeners to comment leading up to that weeks show which they will read and respond to. Here is a run down of some general topics they will cover from week to week. Be sure to subscribe on iTunes here http://itunes.apple.com/us/
This is a chance to give you guys all the lastest tour and event information as it relates to the Mobile Studio, as well as some things you wont be able to find anywhere else. This includes recaps of events, exclusive interviews, and sample recordings from the artists we have worked with on the Mobile Studio.
This is a chance for you guys to hear about the latest deals on products, whats coming out on the blog, or the YouTube channel. We also have great news about the company that doesn't always have a platform so the podcast will cover these things in depth.
With all the great new things coming out, some things get lost by the wayside. We want to take time to keep you guys up to speed on what the latest gear is, what others are saying about it, and what we think about it. This will include everything from hardware to software and from microphones to DJ controllers. Nothing is safe but everything is welcome in the forum of discussion. Generally this will include the latest gear but often times Lonely Paul and Taylor will bring up gear they think needs a revisit.
While we will not be able to cover everything new in music and frankly there are too many resources out there for us to compete. Instead we will cover topics that you may not be aware of or things to get you talking about the state of music from an industry, performance, and cultural perspective. This will of course be opinionated because we want you the listener to form your own opinions in relation or opposition to our own. Our goal is to get you thinking, talking, and sometimes scratching your head in bewilderment.
In this podcast we covered a lot of Mobile Studio events up to this point. Lonely Paul and Taylor discussed SXSW, WMC, Ultra, and Massive Dance Week in Las Vegas. They discussed some of the new things with the company like blog formats, Live Chat, and future YouTube releases. They chat about some of the new products from Native Instruments like the Kontrol F1 as well as the special deals that NI are running. The two also have a conversation about downloading and pirating music. They reference an article written by an NPR blogger, the retort from UGA economics professor and Cracker frontman Dave Lowery, and the response to Lowery's blog from Huffington Post contributor Travis Morrison. They close with a discussion on dubstep/metal collaborations, where it came from, and their opinion on the future of both genres.
The podcast will have exclusive content that you wont be able to find anywhere else. We will be doing these weekly so make sure to subscribe to it on iTunes or check it out on our Soundcloud.

Funny Poems - Poems For Funny
Poems about funny. You can read the best funny poems. Browse through all funny poems.
25.A Song Of The Sandbags
No, Bill, I'm not a-spooning out no patriotic tosh
(The cove be'ind the sandbags ain't a death-or-glory cuss).
And though I strafes 'em good and 'ard I doesn't 'ate the Boche,
I guess they're mostly decent, just the same as most of us.
I guess they loves their 'omes and kids as much as you or me;
And just the same as you or me they'd rather shake than fight;
And if we'd 'appened to be born at Berlin-on-the-Spree,
We'd be out there with 'Ans and Fritz, dead sure that we was right.
A-standin' up to the sandbags
It's funny the thoughts wot come;
Starin' into the darkness,
'Earin' the bullets 'um;
(Zing! Zip! Ping! Rip!
'ark 'ow the bullets 'um!)
A-leanin' against the sandbags
Wiv me rifle under me ear,
Oh, I've 'ad more thoughts on a sentry-go
Than I used to 'ave in a year.
I wonder, Bill, if 'Ans and Fritz is wonderin' like me
Wot's at the bottom of it all? Wot all the slaughter's for?
'E thinks 'e's right (of course 'e ain't) but this we both agree,
If them as made it 'ad to fight, there wouldn't be no war.
If them as lies in feather beds while we kips in the mud;
If them as makes their fortoons while we fights for 'em like 'ell;
If them as slings their pot of ink just 'ad to sling their blood:
By Crust! I'm thinkin' there 'ud be another tale to tell.
Shiverin' up to the sandbags,
With a hicicle 'stead of a spine,
Don't it seem funny the things you think
'Ere in the firin' line:
(Whee! Whut! Ziz! Zut!
Lord! 'ow the bullets whine!)
Hunkerin' down when a star-shell
Cracks in a sputter of light,
You can jaw to yer soul by the sandbags
Most any old time o' night.
They talks o' England's glory and a-'oldin' of our trade,
Of Empire and 'igh destiny until we're fair flim-flammed;
But if it's for the likes o' that that bloody war is made,
Then wot I say is: Empire and 'igh destiny be damned!
There's only one good cause, Bill, for poor blokes like us to fight:
That's self-defence, for 'earth and 'ome, and them that bears our name;
And that's wot I'm a-doin' by the sandbags 'ere to-night. . . .
But Fritz out there will tell you 'e's a-doin' of the same.
Starin' over the sandbags,
Sick of the 'ole damn thing;
Firin' to keep meself awake,
'Earin' the bullets sing.
(Hiss! Twang! Tsing! Pang!
Saucy the bullets sing.)
Dreamin' 'ere by the sandbags
Of a day when war will cease,
When 'Ans and Fritz and Bill and me
Will clink our mugs in fraternity,
And the Brotherhood of Labour will be
The Brotherhood of Peace. read more »

'Be Italian?' No, be a Mexican (Video)
I'll confess that I've never seen the film or stage versions of "Nine," so I had no idea what "Be Italian" sounded like when a colleague sent me this video of a local singer who tweaked the lyrics. Which is fine, because her version of it, "Be a Mexican" is brilliant in its own right.
The singer is Elysa Gomez, a contestant in the "Cabaret Idol" show at the Hollywood Studio Bar and Grill. The weekly show, a cabaret mini-version of American Idol, has been running since Jan. 23 and will conclude this Sunday.
The backstory to the lyrics: Gomez, whose day job is substitute teaching, grew up third-generation Mexican American in a relatively affluent Glendale family, the child of artists who had grown up in East Los Angeles and gradually moved west.
"I always hated to talk about growing up not knowing how to speak Spanish, and how the kids called me a fake Mexican," Gomez said by phone the other day. "I even had my Spanish teachers making fun of me. This has been a constant theme, that I was a sellout, an American Mexican princess, whitewashed, all these different things they would say."
KPCC joins Japan quake relief effort this weekend

A donation bucked in Brighton, England, March 25, 2011
More than a month after a magnitude 9 earthquake and the resulting tsunami devastated northeastern Japan, international relief efforts continue to build, and for good reason. At least 150,000 remain homeless, many of the estimated 28,000 people who perished are still unaccounted for, millions are without water or power, and an ailing nuclear plant continues to be a threat.
Over the past month, Japanese American groups, businesses large and small, commercial media outlets and a broad smattering of celebrities have joined efforts to raise money for quake recovery. This weekend, 89.3 KPCC is joining the cause.
The station has partnered with the California Community Foundation and the U.S.-Japan Council for a weekend-long fund raising drive. Donations will go to the Red Cross, the International Medical Corps, Save the Children and to Japanese NGOs. More details are posted on the station's website.
Emails illustrate 'disarray,' confusion over Secure Communities immigration program
Art by José Luís Agapito/Flickr (Creative Commons)
Hundreds of emails from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released yesterday illustrate the confusion over Secure Communities, a federal fingerprint sharing program whose involuntary nature has frustrated local law enforcement in some jurisdictions, including in California.
The emails include internal communication between ICE officials and with state officials in California. They were obtained through Freedom of Information Act litigation by legal advocacy groups that include Los Angeles' National Day Laborer Organizing Network, the Center for Constitutional Rights and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law's Immigration Justice Clinic. The groups have described the content of the emails as attempts to deliberately mislead California officials about the nature of the program, initiated in 2008, which many at first believed to be voluntary.

'Why do you only date white men?' An interracial dater explains
Photo by qthomasbower/Flickr (Creative Commons)
Please give a warm welcome to KPCC's Kim Bui, editor of the OnCentral blog and Multi-American guest blogger of the day:
As an adult, I've rarely had a conversation about race without it slowly turning toward relationships.
Yes, many Asian women date white guys. Indeed, I tend to be one of them.
Today I spied a post on KCET's website titled "Love Isn't Blind, It's Just Near Sighted," which began:
Last week a good friend posed a question to me, "Do you only date white men?" It took a minute for me to reply, it was a question that has floated around me since I was able to sneak out of the house in high school.
The post incorporated various people's answers to the question, "Why do Asians predominately date Caucasians?"
I mentioned it to Leslie, which led to a long-winded conversation about dating and marriage and gossiping Vietnamese mothers, which in turn led to Leslie asking me to share a little on my experiences.

Inspired by the model set by the State in development and women's empowerment, a nine-member delegation from the United Kingdom is currently touring the State.
Two members who are part of that delegation from Lifeworlds Learning, a community interest organisation from Leek, Staffordshire, visited the State-run Institute of Management in Government (IMG) at Kakkanad near here on Saturday.
Rob Bowden and Rosie Wilson, directors of the organisation, interacted with faculty members of the IMG during the day-long session.
The visitors were given an in-depth presentation on the functioning of Kudumbasree Mission by the district mission coordinator Tanny Thomas. The visiting duo wondered why men were being left out of the project.
They, however, were fascinated by the high rate of literacy as well as the political participation and warmth of the people of the State.
Mr. Bowden was candid in admitting that community initiatives in the U.K. were not as strong as they were in India.
Though Lifeworlds Learning mainly works in the U.K., it has also embarked on motivating people for participatory and community servicing in other parts of Europe and the world in general. They have started community service such as looking after elderly people, gardening service in the UK, previously done by the government.
Mr. Bowden recollected that his association with Kerala dated back to 1998-99 when he first came to know about people's participation and women empowerment programmes here. "Since then I have come to Kerala five times and this is my sixth visit to the State," he said.
Ms. Wilson observed that though the civil and socio- economic conditions in India and the U.K. differ, the concept of decentralisation could work in her country.
Both were unanimous in their view that the achievements of India, especially Kerala, in the economic and industrial sectors have been impressive.
He also observed the increase in the number of hoardings and advertisements of fashion and jewellery. Being a neutral observer, he however was not blind to reports of family disintegration amidst growth and development.
They were hopeful of taking home valuable lessons on community service from the State. More details about their organisation can be had from the portal www.lifeworldslearning.co.uk.
Earlier, the delegation was introduced to the Right to Information Act (RTI) by Chandrabos, faculty member, IMG. Neena Joseph, another faculty member, made a presentation on the role of teachers in community activities.
K.D. Govindankutty, Regional Director of IMG, Rema.L, faculty, and P.A. Ajitha, ADS chairperson of Thrikkakara municipality also interacted with the visiting team.
