Hypersonic researchers around the world are sensitive to the old joke that 'hypersonics is the future, and always will be.' Yet, despite the recent high profile failure of the latest U.S. X-51 demonstrator, the industry continues to move ever closer to successfully developing the technology required for routine, air-breathing travel at speeds above Mach 5. Hypersonic goals range from space access and high-speed transports to missiles and reconnaissance. A special report in the Nov. 26 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology will highlight the latest progress being made by industry and government teams in Europe, Asia and the U.S.

User Review: Mountain Hardwear Men's Piute 20°
Source: bought it used
Price Paid: Don't remember, probably less than $100.
This is a fabulously comfortable bag. I've owned this for at least 5 years and have slept comfortably well below 20 degree rating. It is a little heavy when compared to expensive 800 plus down bags, but it is roomy enough, filled well enough to get a good night's sleep in almost any conditions.
- True to temp rating
- Roomy
- Packs reasonably small
- Decent weight
- Can't think of any
As stated in the summary above, this has been an excellent bag for me and the uses I put it to.
Several nights last spring in Yellowstone with the temp at 26 in the morning, not a problem with this bag.
On a recent trip to Guadalupe Mtns we had one night right at 20 degrees, and the next night it was 14! Definitely below the published temp for this bag. With long johns on I was comfortable the entire night. Never woke up from being cold.
Also, as I am a smaller guy (5'6"- 160 lbs) a regular length bag has plenty of room for me. I really can roll around in the bag and not feel cramped or restricted.
This bag does have a full length zipper which makes entry and exit an easy, non-complicated affair.
I have used the bag on a couple pack trips where of course a lighter weight bag would have been great, but for the cost vs benefit I'm quite satisfied. It is NOT an ultra-light 800+ fill wt bag, but it doesn't cost like one either.
If cost and comfort are part of the equation for you when gear shopping, I don't think you can go wrong with the Piute.

At a Glance: Get in a giant robot and destroy cities, people, tanks, other robots, cars, planes, and any other pixellated objects nearby. Sound cool? It sure did to me! Then I tried to play it.
Publisher: Infogrames
System: PC
When I heard Infogrames was sending me a copy of "Slave Zero" to review, I became really thrilled, even more excited than that time I was allowed to visit the petting zoo naked. The CD came in a festively adorned white box with pictures of evil robots all over it, making me totally forget about that other game where you're a robot and smash stuff that came in a similar box. You know, that one game by the company who's claim to fame is "Blood 2". The Slave Zero team has been real strict about distinguishing their game from "the other one", pointing out such stark, contrasting differences as:
1 - You can pick up cars in this game. Oh yeah, and throw them too.
2 - The tanks look kinda different.
3 - They didn't make Blood 2.
Watch out for this robot, he shoots guided missiles and perhaps exploding corn.
So I plopped the CD in, installed it, rebooted, and got ready for some great, robot-smashing action!
Nothing. Black screen. I rebooted the computer and tried again.
Black screen.
After talking with tech support, "Slave Zero" won't run on a computer with a CDROM drive that's not lettered as the "D" drive. Yup, if you have two hard drives or have partitioned your drive, you can't play it. Whee.
I was lucky enough to grab some screenshots from the game, but unfortunately can't give it a real "in-depth" review, as it won't run. Oh well, at least it doesn't look anything like "Shogo" - er, "that other game that actually runs".
How lame.

Batman: Arkham City Official Box Art Revealed SuperCheats News
The excitement is building for the launch of Batman: Arkham City, which will be available beginning October 18th in North America for Xbox 360, Games for Windows PC, and PlayStation 3 -- and today the reveal of the official Box Art for the game should nicely grab our attention!
Over the course of the past 30 years there have been many attempts at capturing the essence of what it means to be the Dark Knight within the world of a video game, but until Arkham Asylum none of those efforts even came close to the experience. It was Arkham Asylum that finally delivered an experience that was as close to being Batman as we are every likely to get -- so the news of the sequel is an even bigger thrill.
Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City -- five times larger than the game world in Arkham Asylum -- and the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters, and insane criminal masterminds.
Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced game play features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.
At E3 we had the opportunity to demo the game -- and the stunning experience of seeing Catwoman, who was the major character reveal at the Expo -- but it was the presentation that really caught our imagination, as it began with Batman gliding over the darkened streets of Gotham, giving us a flirtatious introduction to the very lithe and versatile Catwoman. Stay tuned to Gaming Update in the coming weeks as we bring your our E3 Preview, and more details about the game that appears set to deliver an even better Batman experience!
Based on DC Comics' core Batman license, fans can visit www.batmanarkhamcity.com to sign up to receive updates regarding the game, and join the discussion on the community site at http://community.batmanarkhamcity.com to participate in forums, and where they can read upcoming developer diaries and stay abreast of all the latest Batman: Arkham City news.
As always, Gaming Update will keep an eye on the news and events as they develop and keep you informed!

The Plan to Block Frank Seddio
The race to replace Assemblyman Vito Lopez as the head of the Kings County Democratic Party wages on tonight.
Supporters of Frank Seddio are privately very confident they have secured enough votes, but those hoping for a win by Assemblyman Karim Camara are meeting right now to plan their upset and capture the needed majority of the county's district leader vote.
The plan in question is effectively a double-bank shot. Read More

I have bought several pashmina's from kellsons.I was not sure how the Sufiyaan would be. My order came today. I am so pleased that I ordered Sufiyaan. It is a class apart. Wonderful!! Love it! Anne Kirk, FL, USA

I am amazed by the Sufiyaan. My shawl arrived today. It is so perfect, so beautiful, light and warm.Kate Juby , CO, USA.

I have ordered a sufiyaan shawl. Can't wait to get it. I am so so excited. Thank you so much for the quick response to my emails. Julie Bolton, FL, USA
Sufiyaan is the handpicked organic Cashmere gathered from neck of the pashmina goat. Sufiyan Shawl are made of 100% cashmere with purity of 11.70 to 12.30 Microns .Sufiyaan is manufactured completely by hand process, starting from gathering of Cashmere to spinning and then processing it on handlooms. The spinning technique of cashmere yarn for Sufiyaan is very different from the rest of the shawls. The structure of weave and warp on the loom is exceptionally unique.This unique shawl takes 40 days to complete on single handloom. Sufiyan is processed like Shahtoosh without twisting of yarn on warp and straight single on weave. The fabric is woven much tighter than Shamina and the cashmere in sufiyan weighs more slightly. This is thicker and softer as well and won't leave you feeling cold in winter. There is no visible difference in Look, texture and feel of sufiyaan with Shahtoosh.

Degree Requirements, Engineering
Degree Requirements
The BSE degree is awarded to students each May, September and December. Students who graduate in September or December receive their diplomas by mail, but they are welcome to take part in commencement exercises the following May. In the fall, the Dean's Office asks each senior to complete a form indicating the expected date of graduation. It is the student's responsibility to request that his or her name be included on the graduation list. A copy of each student's final grade report is sent for review to the Director of Undergraduate Studies of the major department immediately before final graduation lists are prepared. Certification for graduation is made by the Associate Dean and the Director of Undergraduate Studies of the department of the student's first major. In order to graduate a student must have passed 34 semester courses (within a period of 10 academic semesters of enrollment), and must have obtained grades of P, C-, or better in 32 semester courses. In addition, all the curriculum requirements of the Engineering School and the major department, as set forth in the University Bulletin, must be met.
General Requirements
Writing (1)
This requirement is met by completing a University Writing Course.
Math 111L(31L), 112L(32L) or 122L(41L), 212 (103), 216 (107), and 353 (108) are required for engineers. If you have skipped one of those math courses (for example, if you had the equivalent of Math 212 (103) in high school, but were not able to transfer the credit to Duke as college credit) then you will be required to take an upper level math course. Stat 130 (113) can be used in place of a skipped math course, unless you are a BME major who was required to take Stat 130(113) to fulfill your graduation requirements. In that case, you should consult the BME Handbook for the list of acceptable math classes.
An alternative set of Math courses for engineering students who are double—majoring in math (or who started down that path): Math 111L(31L), 112L (32L), 221 (104), 222 (105), 356 (131), and 453 (133). Note that for these students, six Math courses are required rather than five.
Natural Science (4)
This requirement is met by completing Chemistry 101DL (31L), Physics 151L (61L) and 152L (62L), and an elective course in one of the natural science departments which presents fundamental knowledge about nature and its phenomena, preferably including quantitative expression.
To satisify the Physics Requirement, students must take PHYSICS 151L(61L) & 152L(62L), and at least one physics course must be taken at Duke.
If you have AP credit for PHY 25 (61) and 26 (62), you should take PHY 153L (63L). If you are not comfortable taking PHY 153L (63L), you have the option of taking PHY 152L (62L), PHY 264 (143), 361 (181), or 362 (182) as your Duke Physics course.
You do not have the option of taking PHY 151 (61) and then using AP for PHY 26 (62)--unless the only Physics AP credit you have is for PHY 26 (62).
Natural Science Elective (1) (Varies by department)
Each department maintains a list of allowed courses that will satisfy the Natural Science requirement. Consult those department websites and/or departmental offices.
Humanities and Social Science (5)
This requirement is met by completion of five courses selected from at least three of the following four areas of knowledge: Arts, Literatures and Performance (ALP), Civilizations (CZ), Foreign Languages (FL), and Social Sciences (SS). At least one course must be classified SS. In order to provide depth in the subject matter, at least two of the five courses must be selected from a single department and at least one of those courses must be 200-level or above. Courses must be chosen from Humanities and Social Science departments. Science and Engineering courses with SS, CZ, FL, or ALP codes will not count toward this requirement.
Engineering and Sciences (4)
This requirement is met by completion of one course from each of four of the following seven areas: digital systems, electrical science, information and computer science, mechanics (solid and fluid), materials science, systems analysis, and thermal science and transfer processes. Students are expected to have acquired digital-computer programming capability before their sophomore year. The programming capability is generally satisfied by Engineering 103L (53L), COMPSCI 201 (100).
Departmental Requirements (15)
The department administering the major field of study will specify this requirement. In general, it will consist of both required courses and electives to be planned in consultation with the departmental adviser. Including the 4 credits in engineering and applied sciences listed under general requirements, a total of 13.0 credits in engineering work are required.
Total Minimum Requirements: 34

Simulated annealing is a computational algorithm for optimization. It mimics the physical process of thermal annealing in which a metal is heated and then slowly cooled to settle into a highly ordered crystal structure. For common metals, the lowest energy state is already known. But the method is useful for other problems where the best state is not known and exhaustively searching all possible states is impractical. The method is applied by modeling the problem as a physical system with structure, energy, and temperature. This Python module implements simulated annealing so that it can be easily applied to a variety of problems. An example program is include to perform simulated annealing of the traveling salesman problem.

Wow I haven't posted in awhile.
Courtney: Yikes! I rarely bend over in the Moby because I'm afraid of that. I always squat.
Saudade: Any idea why you're having such trouble? Have you seen an IBCLC? I don't remember all the details of your story but have you looked into a posterior tongue tie? It may be that because of a tie that your baby isn't transferring milk very well, which means your supply drops, etc.
AFM: Tavian is officially a thumb sucker! I love it, it means he actually self-soothes. I hate that phrase because I associate it with CIO and forcing "independence" on a baby, but sometimes T just wants to sit in the bouncer and suck his thumb until he feels better. It's pretty awesome. I've been really struggling lately. It feels much like my first trimester depression, where I'll be a total wreck for a few days then fine for a week or so. Friday was the bad day, but I've been normal since Saturday afternoon. I don't know what to do besides ride it out.

Abstract: Dendrigraft polymers have a multi-level branched architecture resulting from the covalent assembly of macromolecular building blocks. Most of these materials are obtained in divergent (core-first) synthetic procedures whereby the molecule grows outwards in successive grafting reactions or generations. Two main types of dendrigraft polymers can be identified depending on the distribution of reactive sites over the grafting substrate: Arborescent polymers have a large and variable number of more or less uniformly distributed sites, while dendrimer-like star polymers have a lower but well-defined number of grafting sites strictly located at the ends of the substrate chains. An overview of the synthesis and the characterization of dendrigraft copolymers with phase-segregated morphologies is provided in this review for both dendrigraft polymer families. The tethering of side-chains with a different composition onto branched substrates confers unusual physical properties to these copolymers, which are highlighted through selected examples.

The Cattle Diseases Bill [1]
PD, 3rd ser., Vol. 181, cols. 488–92. Reported in The Times, 15 February, p. 7, from which the variant and responses are taken. This, Mill's maiden speech in the House of Commons, was delivered in the debate on the second reading of "A Bill to Amend the Law Relating to Contagious or Infectious Diseases in Cattle and Other Animals," 29 Victoria (12 Feb., 1866), PP, 1866, I, 423–44. Mill says in his Autobiography that the speech "was thought at the time to have helped get rid of a provision in the Government measure which would have given to landholders a second indemnity, after they had already been once indemnified for the loss of some of their cattle by the increased selling price of the remainder" (CW, I, 277n). mr. j. stuart mill said, that in the course of the discussion on the Bill many important points had been raised, respecting some of which he was not in a position to form an opinion; and that being the case, he thought it better that he should leave all other topics to Her Majesty's Government, who had the best means of information, and who were responsible for the failure or success of the measures they might introduce. There was one question, however, which it required no agricultural or special knowledge to understand—that of compensation—it was a purely economical question, and upon this part of the Bill alone he thought himself competent to speak. This question had been raised by his honourable Friend the Member for Birmingham,1 and as his honourable Friend had been rather severely dealt with by the right honourable Gentleman behind him (Mr. Lowe),2 he thought that any one who shared the sentiments of his honourable Friend would be acting unworthily if he did not stand forward and avow them. (Hear.) He did not object to the principle of compensation, but he did object, in the highest degree, to the amount proposed in the Bill, and to the manner in which it was proposed to be provided. It was perfectly true, as his right honourable Friend (Mr. Lowe) had pointed out, that the farmers were to receive compensation, not for their losses as such, but for what they lost through the interference of the Government.3 He (Mr. J.S. Mill) quite agreed that there could not be a more just claim for compensation than this; and, moreover, the grant of it was expedient on account of the inducement it would give not to evade the provisions of the Act. He quite adopted the conclusion of his right honourable Friend, that the farmers who might be the owners of diseased cattle ought not to be placed under the temptation of concealing the fact. But, on the other hand, the more reason there was for granting compensation, the more necessity was there for taking care that the compensation should not be excessive. If, on the one hand, the owner were not to be compensated at all for his loss, there was a strong inducement for him to do, what it was the very object of this Bill to prevent him from doing—namely, to keep the infected animals as long as possible, and thus to be the means of propagating the infection. If, on the other hand, the compensation were excessive, an inducement would exist to be careless as to the spread of the disease; because if his animals on becoming infected were ordered to be slaughtered, he knew that he should get an exaggerated compensation for them. The compensation provided by the Bill for diseased animals slaughtered was two-thirds of the value, when that sum did not exceed £20. But what were the necessary conditions to render that sum a just compensation? It was that the animal should have two chances out of three of surviving, because if it had a less chance of recovery than this, the owner would be an absolute gainer by the compensation he would receive on its slaughter by authority. The value of an animal in the market was its value in its existing astate and with its existing prospects (murmurs)a ; unless, therefore, the marketable value of an animal after infection was two-thirds of its value when healthy, the compensation proposed by the Bill was excessive. Whatever the chances were of the animal's surviving, that would be the measure of compensation which a reasonable person would propose. He came now to another question—in what manner, and at whose expense, the funds for compensation ought to be raised. In order to judge of that, they ought to consider what would be the natural working of economical laws, supposing no compensation were granted at all. If, setting aside merely momentary effects, they took into consideration the ultimate, and indeed speedy, result, there could be no doubt that in whatever proportion the supply of cattle was diminished, in that proportion the price would be enhanced; and, therefore, in the end, the whole burden of the loss would be borne, not by the producer, but the consumer. Farmers and landlords would indeed suffer, but only to the same extent as other members of the community—that is to say, as consumers. As far as it was the whole community which suffered, no class of the community, as a class, had the smallest claim to compensation from the rest. Some, indeed, were less able to bear the loss than others, and it would not have been surprising if a proposal had been made to compensate them; but now, on the contrary, it was proposed to tax them, in order to compensate those who were able to bear the loss much better. It appeared to him that the farmers as a class had no claim whatever to compensation, and the only reason for granting compensation at all was, not that the loss fell peculiarly upon the agricultural interest, but because it fell upon that interest with such extreme inequality. He apprehended that in real justice the compensation ought to be paid to the less fortunate by the more fortunate of the class: thus establishing what would be equivalent to a compulsory system of mutual insurance amongst the owners of stock. This Bill did the very contrary—though he did not blame the Government for introducing it, considering the way in which the House was constituted. It compensated a class for the results of a calamity which was borne by the whole community. In justice, the farmers who had not suffered ought to compensate those who had; but the Bill did what it ought not to have done, and it left undone that which it ought to have done,4 by not equalizing the incidence of the burden upon that class, inasmuch as, from the operation of the local principle adopted, that portion of the agricultural community who had not suffered at all would not have to pay at all, those who suffered little would have to pay little, while those who suffered most would have to pay a great deal. The only argument of any validity which he could anticipate against the opinion he had expressed, was that a portion of our cattle supply is not derived from home production, but from importation; and, as far as that portion was concerned, the compensation which the consumer would pay through the enhanced price of the commodity would not be received by our own agriculturists, but by the importers. This he must admit; but the importation of cattle, though considerable and increasing, bore so very small a proportion to the entire consumption, that it would diminish the indemnity reaped by the home producers only to a very small extent; and this being the case, it would be unworthy of the landed interest to lay any stress upon so small a matter. An aristocracy should have the feelings of an aristocracy, and inasmuch as they enjoyed the highest honours and advantages, they ought to be willing to bear the first brunt of the inconveniences and evils which fell on the country generally. This was the ideal character of an aristocracy; it was the character with which all privileged classes were accustomed to credit themselves; though he was not aware of any aristocracy in history that had fulfilled those requirements. (Laughter.) It might also be said that the farmers would derive no benefit from the ultimate high price, because one of the effects of the cattle plague was by making them bring their cattle prematurely to market, temporarily to keep down the price. This, no doubt, was the case, but after the grant of compensation, it would no longer be so, since the inducement to hurry cattle to market would then no longer exist.

Tess and Andy are featured on WeddingWire! Stay tuned for more photos from their wedding.
About Amy Bao Photography
Hello hello! My name is Amy and I am a Bay Area wedding photographer.
I specialize in capturing timeless images that perfectly balance photojournalism with fine art, classical with contemporary, and are full of energy and emotion. I want your most beautiful memories to look as stylish to you as they will to your grandchildren, because your wedding day, well, that is the stuff legacies are made of.
Contact me directly by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com . I would love to hear from you!
She's from San Francisco and he's from New York, so they decided to use the Golden Gate Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge as the theme of their wedding. For their engagement shoot, we knew we wanted to incorporate the Golden Gate Bridge as much as possible, but as we were about to head out, we could tell from their window that the bridge was complete covered in fog (while the rest of San Francisco was sunny and clear). Nevertheless, we wanted to try our luck, and fortune has it, Fort Point is situated directly under the southern end of this beautiful structure.
Then we headed over the bridge to the Marin Headlands – the view was unbelievable.
Epic. Straight out of the movies.
Too adorable. They're so good at making each other laugh!
And we'll end with some Cornell pride.
Can't wait to see you two at your wedding!
I recently moved up to the Bay Area and was able to catch up with a friend from college, who is now married with two little girls. Check out how adorable they are!
Coming from such a musical family, these girls are going to be rockstars.
An attempt at introducing a new toy, but Mariana just wants to eat it.
So calmly focused on yanking mommy's hair and removing daddy's glasses.
It's been a long while since my last post, but now my move is over and I'm settling into the Bay Area so expect to see new photos on the blog. Come visit me often!
The waves were crashing against the shore. The shops and restaurants on the pier were opening and getting ready for the day. A group of marathoners and some joggers were getting in other people's way. A few tourists were wandering around with their fanny packs. The sun was shining and the seagulls were doing their seagull-y thing. A winter morning in LA, not too shabby.
This was probably the most editorial shoot I've done to date, hope you enjoyed it!
I love the instant gratification that comes with digital photography, but I also miss the film days when all the photos would get developed so there's something physical to hold. It seems that with the ease of sharing photos online, we often forget to bring them into the real world. And that is unfortunate because there's really something to be said about photos in printed form. Whether they're simply printed on photo paper and framed, or turned into beautiful leather-bound albums, or enlarged onto canvases, they will almost always look better than the pixels on your phone or laptop screen.
Love was in the air, as were big fluffy snowflakes. Mother nature created a winter wonderland especially for Katherine and Matt's beautiful and intimate wedding.
The day started bright and early with Matt and his groomsmen getting an old-timey barbershop shave. This has been on Matt's to do list for awhile, and was decided a few years ago that his wedding day was when he would treat himself to it.
The smoothest shave you've ever had?
The girls were getting ready at the church, and it was a dance party!
So gorgeous! Katherine, I can photograph you all day!
Because some photos are priceless. A lovely reception display.
Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Wyble!
Congratulations Katherine and Matt!

A love story that conquered long distance and demanding careers is certainly reason for celebration, and what better place to do that than in the great metropolis of London during the last few glowing days of fall?
And on a typical rainy British Saturday morning, they officially tied the knot.
Philip picked the hairstyle for Yaqin, a messy bun. Impressed that he knew what that was? Me too.
Off to The Dorchester for the reception!
Congratulations Philip and Yaqin!
Istanbul is a city straight out of the fairy tales and a photographer's dream. I'll admit it, I booked my flight to Istanbul pretty much based on seeing the scenes shot there in Taken 2 (the plot was meh, but the setting was gorgeous). And then seeing more scenes of Istanbul in the new James Bond movie the week before the trip, I may or may not have spent a few hours online trying to figure out how to get to the rooftop of the Grand Bazaar for a few panoramic shots (I unfortunately don't know the right people here…). Suffice it to say, I arrived with high aesthetic expectations, and the city surpassed them all.
The riverfront is just dotted with mosques, with their elegant minarets reaching for the sky.
My first day in Istanbul, I decided to see all the further out sights. Among which was the Kariye Museum (Church) known for its mosaics. Armed with a just copy of Lonely Planet, I proceeded to completely miss my bus stop and then had to backtrack, and of course, ended up wandering and lost in a cemetery. But it was a really beautiful cemetery, so I can't say I really minded. Part of the beauty of traveling, I've learned, is to just enjoy the unexpected.
On the way, I came across another mosque (they're truly everywhere) and went in to take a peek. The main tourist mosques, the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, are certainly must-sees, but visiting the lesser known ones is a good way to feel the space as a religious sanctuary, away from the crowds.
Eventually found my way to the Kariye Museum.
Next, I tried to follow the old city wall all the way to the end. Somehow I was under the impression that the wall was mostly intact and you can walk on top of the wall, clearly, I was wrong. Most of it was crumbly, another good portion was under construction, so I had to take some detours and, of course, managed to get very turned around and very lost once again.
So, wandering around a sketchy neighborhood like this without a map and by myself was probably not one of the smarter things I've done recently, but I did get cool photos, so we'll call it a wash.
In the afternoon, I took a ferry over to Asia (no big deal) for a late lunch and explored the local market. The colors were incredible!
People feed the gulls so swarms of them follow behind the ferries.
Day two was truly a whirlwind of all the major sights. Above is the tile work found in the Topkapi Palace harem.
The Hagia Sofia. Photographers, if you visit Istanbul, bring a super wide-angle lens, if nothing else than to capture the inside of this architectural marvel.
Now we can't really talk about Istanbul without talking about the food, which was in short, amazing. My favorite country for food has been Singapore for a very long time now, and a part of me expected Turkey to take its place. I have to say, Singapore keeps its crown (probably because I'm still a bit more partial to Asian food), but Turkey is a very close second. The above is a traditional breakfast feast.
Fresh squeezed pomegranate juice.
I'm really not a coffee drinker, but even I found Turkish coffee to be quite tasty. It comes in a very tiny cup and about a third of it is the finely ground coffee itself, forcing you to slow down and take tiny sips. The grounds can then be used to reveal one's fortune. I think I see an angry owl in mine, not quite sure how to interpret that.
Another thing about this city is that it's full of cats. Seriously, the cat population density here rivals that of the squirrels on most American college campuses. This one here was my favorite.
The world is a big, beautiful place, and for me, travel is the best way to experience that sense of awe and wonder.
Adrienne is an actress and a friend of mine from when I lived in New York. When we caught up over brunch, she told me that oftentimes in her photoshoots, the photographer over-directs and doesn't fully allow her to convey the emotion or character she's trying to create. So we decided to do a mini-photoshoot that allowed her greater expressive freedom. Although we had very limited time (she had a show in the afternoon and I had a plane to catch) and space (the corner of my living room), we still managed to get these:

Irving not mature enough for Cavs?

07:58 AM ET 04.17 | His star on the rise, Kyrie Irving oozes talent with the basketball. Nationally, ESPN and others have proclaimed him "the future of NBA point guards." ... All this for someone who just turned 21 on March 23. It has, unsurprisingly, created a growing sense of entitlement with Irving. ... [On Monday,] he ignored the post-game ceremony during which players gave away shoes and shirts to the fans. ... There are times when rolls his eyes or shakes his head in disgust when a teammate makes a poor play. It's kid stuff, but he should know better. None of this is to say Irving is a bad guy or a lousy teammate. But he has some maturing to do, and the Cavs must demand that he do it.
As the leader of their teams, Jordan and Kobe shook their heads all the time when other players screwed up plays. Does that make them immature? Maybe Kyrie is just tired of losing after winning so much in high school and his time at Duke.

The Example JSP Pages
This chapter describes the tasks involved in using and defining tags. The chapter illustrates the tasks with excerpts from the JSP version of the Duke's Bookstore application discussed in The Example JSP Pages rewritten to take advantage of two tag libraries: Struts and template. The third section in the chapter, Examples, describes two tags in detail: an iterator tag and the set of tags in the template tag library.
The Struts tag library provides a framework for building internationalized Web applications that implement the Model-View-Controller design pattern. Struts includes a comprehensive set of utility custom tags for handling:
The Duke's Bookstore application uses tags from the Struts
sublibraries.The template tag library defines a set of tags for creating an application template. The template is a JSP page with placeholders for the parts that need to change with each screen. Each of these placeholders is referred to as a parameter of the template. For example, a simple template could include a title parameter for the top of the generated screen and a body parameter to refer to a JSP page for the custom content of the screen. The template is created with a set of nested tags--
, andparameter
--that are used to build a table of screen definitions for Duke's Bookstore and with aninsert
tag to insert parameters from the table into the screen.Figure 5-1 shows the flow of a request through the following Duke's Bookstore Web components:
, which determines the structure of each screen. It uses theinsert
tag to compose a screen from subcomponents.screendefinitions.jsp
, which defines the subcomponents used by each screen. All screens have the same banner, but different title and body content (specified by the JSP Pages column in Table 4-1).Dispatcher
, a servlet, which processes requests and forwards totemplate.jsp
Figure 5-1 Request Flow Through Duke's Bookstore Components
The template tag library files are located in the directory

The blues revival of the 1960s allowed the spotlight to finally fall on
performers like Billy Bizor, an otherwise obscure harpist best known in
conjunction with his recordings in support of his cousin, the renowned Lightin' Hopkins.
Born in Centerville, Texas in 1917, Bizor (also, variously, Bizer and
Biser) dwelled in almost total obscurity prior to the 1960s, developing a
spare, haunted sound largely unaffected by the passage of time, making
him a prime candidate for rediscovery by purists. Among his first
recordings were a series of unheralded early-1960s dates backing
Hopkins; between 1968 and 1969, Bizor cut his only solo session in
Houston with producer Roy Ames, revealing him to be an intense,
emotionally charged singer. Eventually issued as Blowing My Blues Away,
the end result went unreleased for several years; tragically, Bizor
himself never saw the recordings come to light -- he died April 4, 1969.
Filling more or less a request. This rip is plucked from internet and not my rip at 128kbps and without cover scans.
Post: http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/6031826/file.html
Once again it's my aim to share my blues LP's that are hard to find, bloody expensive or a waste of time. I have the naive hope that it will get you interested enough to buy some new releases and support the blues. Most of all, enjoy the music as long as it lasts and any help is always welcome.

Embracing Diversity
Oprah.com | November 05, 2008
Most people would agree that bigotry, sexism and racism haven't completely disappeared from America. "In order to deal with bigotry, we have to admit that bigotry is still a problem in America, and we have to educate our kids that it's not okay to play a part in it," Rabbi Shmuley says. He talks about teaching your children that prejudice isn't the answer and about the importance of being open-minded to other people's differences.
Today's Shmuleyism:
"Prejudice has been a great stain on American society for a long time. It's time we got rid of those prejudices. If a friend or relative expresses bigotry or prejudice, politely express to them that the comment isn't appropriate. Make sure your kids know that intolerant remarks about others because of race, gender or sexual orientation is not part of being a good person."

Young Bicyclists Rewarded For Wearing Helmets
By editor
Originally published on Wed June 5, 2013 8:20 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. It seemed like an odd move. An Ohio police chief publicly directed his officers to target a certain group for ticketing. He set a quota for the officers of Brimfield Township: at least one ticket per shift. And the targeted group? Kids under the age of 12 riding their bikes wearing helmets. Ah, but the fine was a free ice cream cone. Just bicycle safely over to Frank's Drive-In. Tickets good for the summer. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The William Henshaw Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution in Martinsburg provided cake to pedestrians on the city's square Thursday to celebrate West Virginia's 150th year. (By Kevin G. Gilbert, Staff Photographer / June 20, 2013) |
West Virginia, a state born of a nation torn, joined the Union in the midst of the Civil War 150 years ago — and celebrating that event Thursday was a piece of cake for two Eastern Panhandle cities.
Western Virginia broke away from Virginia and the Confederacy on June 20, 1863.
On Thursday morning, members of the William Henshaw Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution in Martinsburg cut a huge chocolate and white sheet cake into 100 pieces, and set it on a table on the city's public square.
Simultaneously, employees at the Shepherdstown Sweet Shop Bakery did the same with a similar size yellow cream cake to note the historic event.
"I've been telling people all day that we have free cake, coffee and ice tea for West Virginia Day," said Hailey Howard, the bakery's lead sales clerk. "A lot of people didn't know about the anniversary."
The inscription on the Martinsburg cake read: "West Virginia 35th State June 20, 1863 Montani Semper Liberi."
"It's important to celebrate this anniversary," said Nancy Myers, a descendant of Thomas Laidley, who supplied the Continental Army with supplies during the Revolutionary War.
William Henshaw was one of 200 Virginia riflemen who made the Beeline March from Shepherdstown to Boston to join George Washington's army in the Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775.
The Henshaw DAR chapter was organized by Sally Virginia Henshaw, Henshaw's great-great granddaughter, in 1899, Myers said. "Our chapter was the first one in West Virginia.
"We're celebrating West Virginia's 150th anniversary because the DAR promotes patriotism and participates in historic events like this one," Myers said. "We're doing this because we didn't think anyone else in the panhandle was doing anything," she said.
Jill Wolfe of Martinsburg was one of about 100 people who came to celebrate the sesquicentennial and talk to other West Virginians, native or adopted, and share the cake.
"A lot of people aren't learning about their heritage. They don't care about it," said Wolfe, who grew up in Moorefield, W.Va. "History is important. It's about where we came from.
"I like the mountains and simple way of life," she said. "I'm proud to be a West Virginian."
Lowering her voice, she said,"But I don't buy my gas in West Virginia."
Gretchen Kemman and her son, Jake, 14, came in period costumes. Both volunteer as docents at Aspen Hall, Martinsburg's oldest home.
Jake, who is home-schooled, said history is important.
"We shouldn't forget what happened in the past because it can benefit us in the present and future," he said.
"This event is important because West Virginia is the best state in the Union," said Sylvia Orendorff, regent of the Henshaw DAR chaper. "We need to make its history known to young people.
"I sat in history class but I was never really interested in it. All I knew that it was my state, and that I grew up in it. Now as an adult, I see the benefits of living in West Virginia."
Janet McBee, 83, came to the celebration in a yellow T-shirt emblazoned with WV Mountaineers. She wore West Virginia earrings.
"Everyone in West Virginia should be celebrating our 150th anniversary," she said.
Charles Town, W.Va., historian and author Bob O'Connor, in his recently published book, "Countdown to West Virginia Statehood," said years of animosity between the people of eastern and western Virginia came to a head when Virginia seceded from the Union.
Virginia's secession "was only the last straw. People in the west had had enough of being left out of everything so they started the movement to have their own state," he wrote.
U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., earlier this year launched the 150 Reasons to Love West Virginia project in which she collected the many reasons people love the state and highlighted the entries in a floor speech.
"As West Virginians, we are deeply rooted in the value of hard work, and the kindness and respect of our neighbors," she said in a news release.
"From its rich history to its beautiful mountains, I am proud to call West Virginia home and I look forward to our state's bright future," she said.

Rejuvenating facials at Long Island spas
After a loooong, cold winter, it's the right time for a refresher course -- we're talking about your face. Skin gets dull, congested and D-R-Y during the colder months, and a facial is a wonderful rejuvenator.
But there's a lot going on in the world of skin care, and it seems that the days of the very basic facial are virtually extinct. So to learn about some variations on the theme, we went under the steam, the stone, the cream and, eeks, even the razor. And besides the relaxing, pampering experience (some more relaxing and pampering than others), the greatest benefit of all is beautiful, healthy skin.

I will go on the record and say they hit to Brodell was worth the penalty for me =) It just looked sweet to see. Unfortunately he made up for it with his TD.
Originally Posted by Aclone Apparently you missed the part where he said "hit with the shoulders first"...conveying that he led with the shoulders, then helmets hit. The point of a "helmet to helmet" penalty is to prevent defenders from leading with their helmet--which LJ didn't. Exactly. And Moeaki is seventy pounds bigger. Indeed. Leading with his pads. Who in their right mind is going to attack helmet to helmet a guy six inches, seventy pounds, and four years bigger than you?! Especially when he has some momentum? My point is, had he been making a form tackle as opposed to launching himself at Moeaki, leading with whatever part of his body he was leading with, this wouldn't be an issue. I've watched LJ do this all year. He likes to hit hard, but he's a pretty poor tackler.

**** poor....wasn't impressed with much of the Cyclones at all. Can't takle, can't block, can't catch a ball. We got out-coached today plain and simple. Left minutes on the field. QBs looked lost at times trying to get a play in. Ferentz and U of I needed this win "so the media says" and they showed it. Bigger hits, ability to takle, etc. Haven't been this disappointed in an outing for awhile.
Originally Posted by conmebol I think Arnaud looked really poised for the most part. Poise is worthless if you cannot score. Sometimes hectic is better than poised.
Originally Posted by CyCloned the big play was the PF call on Johnson, that was total B.S. Letting Brodell get away made it look worse than it was. Good effort in a hostle crowd. Still need to figure out how to make that 3rd and 1. Where is Ryan Koch? Chiz seems to have an aversion to 250 lb backs up the middle.
Originally Posted by LamaLooper Haven't been this disappointed in an outing for awhile. By a long time, do you mean last season? If this game disappointed you more than the 2007 season, then I can't understand where you're coming from.
Arnaud was poised except on that pass to Darks. That is, assuming that it wasn't his fault that we weren't getting plays in.
Originally Posted by LamaLooper Haven't been this disappointed in an outing for awhile. I'm guessing you didn't see the Texas, Texas Tech or Kansas games from last year? How about Kent State, UNI or Toledo? Nebraska?
Originally Posted by LamaLooper Haven't been this disappointed in an outing for awhile. The outcome of this game was no surprise to me. I'd predicted an Iowa win all week against 2 evenly matched teams. We left points on the field no doubt. LJ's call was questionable but that's not why we lost. All in all I saw a very young team making too many mistakes in their first game on the road in front of 70,000 hostile fans. Few comments: 1. In my opinion Bates did a better job of moving the offense. Austen's drives just always seemed to stall. 2. Why no Bass? Don't get me wrong A-Rob looked good but why not mix it up. 3. D was very solid. The one broken tackle play by Greene was about the biggest mistake they made all game. 4. Punt coverage - horrendous 5. To me JC showed his poise as a junior and clearly can lead that team in pressure situations. Not too disappointed overall but just a very frustrating game to watch as I felt we played better than the score showed. 3rd down conversions and red-zone offense killed us.
Originally Posted by Wesley Poise is worthless if you cannot score. Sometimes hectic is better than poised. He's learning. And, in case you hadn't noticed, he's been splitting snaps in games and reps in practice--neither of which hastens the process.
Oh yes...lost in the shuffle: After two weeks of everybody wailing and moaning about our defensive line, after the first quarter they showed a quite respectable pass rush. Gotta give credit where credit is due.
After seeing them for the first time this year I have to say that unfortunately this offense reminds me a lot of the last 3 years. Nothing very impressive but occasionally they move the ball. However, even when the ball is moving it doesnt look great and the red zone is like the drive killer every time. They just cant finish and oh yeah, the kicker... Hopefully there was some learning done today on the part of players and coaches.
This game is HUGE HUGE HUGE now. We can't let this loss(a game we could have won) turn into a losing streaking going into Big 12 play. We've got KU at home and let's face it, even though they are a very good team, they won't "out-talent" us like an Oklahoma would so we've got a shot at them. Going into that KU game on a 2 game losing streak could be disastrous for a this season.
