Dancing with the Dead
Colorful cemeteries, with their turquoises and pinks, mauves and sky blues, play an integral part in the living fabric of contemporary Guatemalan society. It's not uncommon to see entire families visiting their deceased relatives on Sundays. But a visit to the cemetery need not be mournful, and they often bring a bottle of alcohol to share, occasionally tipping the bottle to the earth, so that their dead relatives also get their share. Incense is burned and shamans perform ancient rites alongside Catholic and evangelical clergy. The November 2 observance of the Day of the Dead gives family members their greatest chance to celebrate and honor their deceased relatives with music, dance, song, festivals and, yes, much drinking and merriment.
Celebrating the dead rather than mourning their passing is a Mayan tradition that reaches back to pre-Columbian times. The Popol Vuh or Mayan Bible as it's sometimes referred to, looks toward an active relationship with deceased friends and relatives. "Remember us after we have gone. Don't forget us," reads the Popul Vuh. "Conjure up our faces and our words. Our image will be as dew in the hearts of those who want to remember us." It is unknown who authored the Popol Vuh, which was translated into Spanish in the early 18th century by Father Francisco Ximénez, but the practices and myths of the sacred book of the Maya still make their way into the Day of the Dead celebrations across Guatemala.
The country's two most fascinating Day of the Dead celebrations take place in Santiago Sacatepéquez and Todos Santos Chuchumatán on November 1. In Santiago Sacatepéquez, a Cakchiquel town located 30 km (19 mi) from Antigua, villagers gather in the early morning hours and file through the narrow streets to the cemetery. Once there, they take part in what is one of Guatemala's most resplendent ceremonies, flying giant kites of up to 2 meters (6½ feet) in diameter to communicate with those who have passed away. The villagers tie messages to the kite tails to let the dead know how they are doing and to ask God for special favors. The colorful celebration is finished with a lunch feast of fiambre, a traditional dish of cold cuts, boiled eggs, vegetables, olives, and other delicacies. The so-called "drunken horse race" in the remote mountain village of Todos Santos Cuchumatán, near Huehuetenango—the riders get plastered, not the horses—is not to everyone's taste, but is an integral part of that town's Day of the Dead celebration.
The color scheme of the cemeteries is more than just decorative: turquoise and green tombs signify that an adult member of the family was recently interred in the above-ground crypts, whites and yellows indicate the passing of an elderly family member, and pinks and blues are reserved for deceased children.
Just remember that although foreigners are welcome in the cemeteries, it's important to respect the traditions and dignity of those visiting deceased relatives—tread softly and leave your camera behind.

Eriksson scores first as Boston tops Columbus
Loui Eriksson couldn't care less about style points. Eriksson's goal early in the third period was the game-winner as the Bruins beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1 in a tightly checked game before 14,092 fans at Nationwide Arena. Chris Kelly and Milan Lucic also scored and goaltender Tuukka Rask had 26 saves, giving the Bruins (3-1-0) a win in their first road game of the season. "It wasn't the prettiest one, but I'll take it," said Eriksson, who had been scoreless in his first three games with Boston after coming over from Dallas in an offseason trade. "It was nice to see it go in. I've had some slow starts in my career. I've learned from that that it will come. If you create chances, it will come. We did that today and I found one." Columbus' only goal came on a power play late in the first period by defenseman Jack Johnson, his second of the season. "We were grinding it out and not getting much," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "Loui was really good tonight. He's competing better. You have to give those guys some time to get adjusted and acquainted on the room and on the ice. "We want to give those guys a month before we really assess them. But you're seeing a guy after a few games getting his stride." The Bruins acquired Eriksson from Dallas last summer in the blockbuster trade that sent Tyler Seguin to the Stars. But playing on a line with left wing Brad Marchard and center Patrice Bergeron, Eriksson had been stifled early in the season. Through three games, he had zero points. That changed 49 seconds into third period Saturday, moments after a Bruins power play expired. Eriksson was screaming down the right wing when Bergeron funneled a pass across the slot and found him right in stride. Eriksson gathered the puck and flipped it off his backhand past the glove side of Columbus goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to make it 2-1. It was one of a game-high six shots for Eriksson. "I see a guy who has the puck on his stick more right now," Julien said. "And he wants it there." Lucic's empty-net goal with 32.5 seconds remaining capped the scoring. The Blue Jackets led 1-0 late in the first when Johnson stepped into a one-timer from inside the blue line. The lead stood until late in the second when Kelly came out of the penalty box and moments later had a clean look from high in the zone. The puck may have been deflected before beating Bobrovsky. "I thought in the second period, even though we had a 1-0 lead, they started taking over the game," Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said. "They stuck with their game, how they play, the things they do well. And we started to get away from that in the second. "They kept pucks alive better than we did in their offensive zone. Their defensemen did a better job getting pucks through to the net than ours did." Kelly's goal, at 16:16 of the second, ended a streak of 91 minutes, 25 seconds without a goal for the Bruins. They were shut out 2-0 against Colorado on Thursday. NOTES: Columbus LW Blake Comeau left the game in the third period with a lower-body injury. ... Bruins D Adam McQuaid left the game briefly in the second period after getting high-sticked in the nose and mouth by Blue Jackets LW Boone Jenner. ... Blue Jackets D Fedor Tyutin made his season debut after missing three games with an upper-body injury. D Nikita Nikitin was scratched to fit Tyutin in the lineup. ... Boston D Matt Bartkowski made his season debut, taking D Dougie Hamilton's spot in the lineup. ... Blue Jackets LW Matt Calvert was a late scratch with a groin injury. ... The game was changed from its originally scheduled 7 p.m. to 2 p.m. so it could air live in Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic and South Africa.

This opus evolved in spurts and fragments from speeches Plummer gave at various charity events. In time, he thought it should generate a little money for his own charity. "I wanted to give it more of a production, elongate it a little bit more so there was more substance in it, so I asked Des to help set it up as a production.
"What we're going to do is add a tiny bit of music underneath certain passages to lift them — very subtle because it's about words and not music—and it will relieve the tension of too much speech. The lighting, of course, is essential. Lighting can take the mood straight into the piece and then out again. Projections perhaps, but not many. If you have too much to look at, the audience stops listening to the words."
McAnuff's experience in helming one-man shows consists entirely of Billy Crystal's 700 Sundays, which is quite a different kettle of gefilte fish, but he has directed Plummer at Stratford before, most recently in The Tempest. "To hear Mr. Plummer," reviewed Charles Isherwood in The New York Times, "is to be bewitched by a spell that only authoritative classical actors can cast."

They were absolutely trained for radio — and brilliant. John Drainie was probably the best radio actor in the world, and he usually played the leading roles. I joined that company, which was thrilling when I was about 19, and Orson would come up every now and then and be guest-star.
"Andrew Allen [head of CBC Radio Drama from 1943 to 1955] was the resident genius who brought music and words together in these shows. We did everything, from modern, contemporary, new stuff to Peer Gynt to the Shakespeares. We did everything on the radio. It was wonderful. I miss that medium so much."

Despite his glorious speaking voice, Plummer has only been able to lift it twice in song — but both earned dividends well beyond his expectations. Cyrano won him the 1974 Tony for Best Actor in a Musical. And 1965's film version of The Sound of Music, where he was the stern, whistle-tooting patriarch of the singing Von Trapps, earned him a permanent high-profile in the public consciousness.
The actor has grown more comfortable over the years with the palm leaves his Captain Von Trapp got from the masses. "It only bothers you when you think they haven't seen anything else," he said. "It's just that the people see one thing, and they stick to it. Poor old Clark Gable was tortured by people who only remembered him for 'Gone With the Wind.' It's very nice to be known for 'The Sound of Music,' and I admire Julie [Andrews], and I admired Robert Wise [the director] very much.
"I wouldn't mind another one. I probably sing a bit better now that I'm terribly older than I did when I was young. If there was a great acting role as well as singing role, I'd like to do another musical. I had fun doing Cyrano. The serious parts in musicals aren't really challenging enough. Andrew Lloyd Webber once asked me to do a musical of his, and I asked him if you could sorta write some dialogue so that I could at least balance myself on stage and do what I do best and then sing along side it, but he wouldn't. It was all music. The whole damned thing was music, so . . ."

Fashion Blogger PJ Gach Wins Brief Reprieve From Eviction, Homelessness
It isn't much of a relief, but fashion and beauty blogger PJ Gach, who recently took to the internet to try and raise the $7,739 in back rent she needs to pay her landlord to fend off eviction, now has until May 8 to pay up or move out.
When The Observer spoke with Ms. Gach this afternoon—she was heading out of housing court a day after her deadline to pay the back rent—she was cautiously optimistic about getting a few more days.
Ms. Gach's plight—which started when she was laid off as a senior editor from Betty Confidential in November and was unable to make her $1,759 rent payments in December, January and February—has earned her both sympathy and vitriol online (it's also earned her about $500 in donations, though there's little chance that she'll be able to summon the remaining $7,200 in the next week and a half.)

There are indications that the status quo has lost control of the narrative. What was "fringe" just a few years ago is now becoming widespread in the undergrowth of our society. TPTB are terrified as they see things approaching the mainstream. For good and for bad (there will be some of both), I think this wave will soon reach critical mass.
The new nationalism has begun. The cultural wars are beginning. Let's hope that this becomes a story about culture and history, and not about race and nationality like in the 30′s. No one wants a real war. We just want our culture back.
And I'm becoming increasingly convinced that those in Europe who hates the State, marxism and the welfare state should start looking to form allegiances with the conservative right. The egalitarian left is doomed, you can't convince any of those drones. But tell a right nationalist about how the State destroyed culture, and he will become a conservative libertarian.

Great Pizza
We love this pizza in our house - a great thin base and light on toppings. Much closer to a traditional Italian pizza than most brands. Considering it's a budget buy, it's excellent quality and exactly what you'd expect from Ocado. If you want more toppings, you can add them yourself but we love it just as it is.
14 November 2013
Basic base...
If you want to make your own pizza this is fine. It's basically a thin pizza base with tomato puree and a teaspoon of grated cheese. Add more cheese and some oregano then it tastes really good but I'm sure Ocado could produce a much better one under their own brand?
22 July 2013
Amazing with tuna
These are really good pizzas. I cook them on a fairly low heat so they don't go crispy, keep them nice and soft for best results. Add 150 g tinned tuna for a 1,000 calorie feast.
21 April 2013
Tasty pizza base and tomato sauce but I must say there was only approx 1 tablespoon of cheese over the whole pizza! Could not believe it, anyway added my own cheese, sweetcorn etc toppings and it was lovely. But to be honest rather expensive just for what was basically a base.

perfect for kids and teenagers
This is the archetypal basic pizza. It doesn't have 'bits' and pretty much all children will eat it. My teenagers choose to cook one for themselves because its quick and they still like them. It doesn't seem fatty and so as processed food goes it's healthy enough. I don't eat it myself, but we still get through one or two each week.

7summits | Route Climbed: Traverse: gouter route up, 3 montblanc route down Date Climbed: 29-august2002 | |
5 years after my first ascent I went back for the Mt Blanc traverse. Leaving Chamonix the 28 in the morning, Marian and I reached the overcrowded Gouter hut in the afternoon. (noticed that the 'bowling alley' was gone! No more snow in the gully, but still plenty of rocks sizzling down due to careless climbers on the ridge...) We left at 0300 and summited around 0800. The night was beautiful, clear and cold, a half-moon, no headlights needed. The summit was crowded and cold, but the view still amazing. Down the NE face, great stepping down soft snow. The Mur de Cote was a bit icy, but the main obstacle was again the Mont Maudit. 5 years ago it was a 40m 40 degrees downclimn, now it was 70m 70 degrees... We downclimbed and abseiled together with a couple of nice Canadians and some other people were very happy they could use our ropes as well... The bergschrund also was bigger and had to be downclimbed as well, then up to Tacul and in a out half an hour down the 600m face... through the Col du Midi oven, then the hardest partr: up towards Aiguille du midi, if you are tired, this is a long way up.... Keep climbing, Harry www.7summits.com | ||

Artoirius | Route Climbed: Dôme du Gouter - Bosses Ridge Date Climbed: 17th of August 2002 | |
I did Mont Blanc by tent together with 3 other friends. We started the 15th of August in Les Houches (+/- 800m above sea level). The first day we went by foot to Nid d'Aigle situated at 2 372m, this is where the train ends. There we placed for the first time our tents. The trip is very nice but I had to get used to my backpack (+/- 21kgs). The second day we went to the campsite at the Goûter Hut (3 800m). During the day we passed the Tête Rousse hut and the Couloir to ascend to Goûter hut (sometimes rather dangerous). On the 17th of August we left at about 3.30 AM to go to the summit. Because it is still dark, you can see a sort of "Christmas tree" going up the mountains. When you look down, you see all the tiny lights in the valley and if you look up you see more stars than anyone can imagine, its really marvellous. We reached at about 9.00 AM the summit. This is something I will never forget. I've posted some pictures so anyone can see how nice it is. At around 9.30 AM we started our descent to the Goûter camp site the take our tents and head further to Nid d'Aigle which we reached at about 8.30 PM. Although I haven't had big conditional problems on the way up, the way down was very hard for me, especially for my upper legs (the backpack, the bumps on your knees,…). The last day (18th of August) we started very early with our descend to reach Les Houches at 11.00 AM. I must say that this was may best vacation so far and I hope to do more of this mountains in the (near) future. I recommend everybody to do this mountain by tent, it is a lot harder, but more fun and adventure. | ||

Lorenz | Route Climbed: Aguille du Midi Date Climbed: August 13th 2002 | |
after two days of bad weather there was 50cm of fresh snow. The funny thing was that at the Cosmique refuge it seemed like nobody wanted to start first due to this situation so at the end I started first tracing the first part of the route. Then other parties came to help. The weather was fantastic, no wind. Like last year we came back by the Guter route. This year I was with my wife! Lorenz | ||

markradford | Route Climbed: Tete Rousse through Gouter Refuge Date Climbed: August 15th 2002 | |
Busy as usual - weather window looked good and the team climbing well, so Pushed from Tete Rousse through Gouter Refuge (Reached 9.00am) Few hours rest and then set off at 12.30 pm on to summit at 4.40pm. Low threat of thunderstorms or avalanche. Quiet on route from Gouter to summit - rare experience of the summit with only 6 people ! (All our own guided team) Excellent views all round - breathtaking. Hardwork above 4000m although aclimatised on Aiguille du Tour. Back to Gouter by 8.00pm - Well organised guided team from Jagged Globe (UK) - Thanks to Andy, Shaun, Richard x 2 (Guides), plus team Peter, Mark, Shaun, Kathy, Jessica, Mike, Nigel & Andrea for making this a grand experience. | ||

Velebit | Route Climbed: Gouter refuge route Date Climbed: August 13th 2002 | |
9 of us came from Zagreb to Chamonix on 10th of August, after 15 hours of driving. We waited 3 hours alone to get through Mont Blanc tunnel. Miserable, rainy, weather greeted us at Chamonix. This was the weekend of heavy floods around the Europe. Here we were joined by Jordi, from Barcelona and that made us an international expedition :-) August 11th The weather was the same today but anyway we decided to go to Tete Rousse refuge in the afternoon, forecast for tomorrow was better. We set off to Les Houches cable car and than usual ride with Mont Blanc tram to Le Nid d'Aigle. We were in between low and higher clouds so something of spectacular scenery was visible. Rain stopped fortunately. At 2700m it started to snow again and we entered clouds. After 1.45h of quick ascending I reached very crowded Tete Rousse refuge (3167m). August 12th We didn't hurry in the morning because our goal of the day was Gouter refuge. As forecasted, weather cleared so we could enjoy great views. There was more than half meter of fresh snow and it was cold. Strong north wind was blowing of huge clouds of snow from Aiguille de Bionnassay's (4052m) ridge, Himalayan scenery. Gouter refuge was shining in the morning sun, high above us, on the edge of abyssal cliff. We started at 9.20h. At Grand Couloir there were some difficulty, lot of snow and path wasn't holding for long, wind quickly blew away steps made by preceding people. Also in the upper part of trail there was quite lot of ice, to make the ascent more amusing. My sight was almost all the time locked at mighty north face of Aiguille de Bionnassay. After 3.20h of climbing, at 12.40h, we reached the true Le Nid d'Aigle (Eagles nest), the balcony of Gouter refuge. By than, there were not to many people in the hut but the view bellow, towards Tete Rousse was amazing, lines and lines of roped people were coming up. Since we had our reservation that wasn't so worrying. Till evening refuge was packed full. I had to watch beautiful sunset from the room since there was no way to get out without stepping on someone's head. And that meant bye bye to some beautiful pics. Sun sanked in the sea of clouds, which was deep bellow us. August 13th I didn't sleep well. We were in the beds since 8pm but I couldn't fall asleep till 11. I couldn't wait to get up and it seams no one could either. By 1.30am whole hut was up already. I was ready to go by 2am, but some members of our party could not find backpacks in the sea of other backpacks, one could not find ice ax, chaos. Than, just before leaving, we found out that someone took one of our 3 ropes. We started quite late, at 3.30am. Wind wasn't as strong as yesterday but still quite strong. Cold air was filled with particles of ice. Sight of endless row of lights, ascending the slope of Dome du Gouter will remain with me till the end of time, it is truly amazing sight. Me and Roman had great tempo, taking over party after party, but in the end very long line of people, which was to long to overtake, slowed us down. Result? It suddenly became cold. Dawn started to break at Dome du Gouter (4300m). It was very cold since wind was strong here (60-70 km/h) and temperature around -10 C. My hand fingers were numb (I have to buy most expensive gloves that exist on this planet!). After 2.30h, at 6am, we reached Vallot refuge. Inside we waited for sun to get up and tried to get warm (mission impossible!). At 7am Sun was up enough so we continued towards Mont Blanc. One person on our rope was suffering from altitude so I couldn't get my rhythm. He even fell and pulled me few meters down the slope till my crampons and ice ax stopped me. I lost lot of strength because of that. We were resting more than we were walking, so it was damn cold :-) Wind was lifting up snow all time from Bosses ridge, filling the air with shiny particles of ice. After 2.40h of suffering and enjoying, at 9.40am we reached the SUMMIT! What a feeling. Wind slowed down considerably by now so we could really enjoy on this amazing spot of our planet. View was crystal clear, everything above the horizon visible, not a single cloud. 8 of us, out of 10, reached the summit. We spent 50 mins on top. Descent was pure enjoyment. There was no need to be roped, snow was excellent (hard), wind became just a light breeze, views stunning. We stopped at Vallot again (this time outside) and Gouter refuge before reaching Mont Blanc tram at 18.20h. That evening we were watching great Mont Blanc from Chamonix. Simply fantastic!

Moni | Route Climbed: Dôme du Goûter - Bosses Ridge Date Climbed: 18&19 Jul 1985 | |
Climbed with Fred Spicker. Really bad thunderstorms throughout the night and high winds the next morning led to a very late start. Only two other parties when we made the summit. Most turned back or never started. Awesome view! Had intended to traverse over Maudit and Tacul, but conditions did not allow. Good thing, too - lightning had hit the Midi cable car station and burned it down! | ||

Chamonix Man | Route Climbed: Traverse from Aiguille du Midi to Gouter Hut Date Climbed: August 1999 | |
Set off from the Aiguille du Midi at midnight and we were the first group out. As we looked behind us from the slopes of Mt Blanc de Tacul we saw a line of points of light from the head torches of those leaving from the cosmiques hut and the cable car station behind us. There must have been at least 100 people. We took a break on the way up the face of mt blanc de tacul and the group behind us refused to overtake because they were following our route! It was a pleasure to get to the shoulder of Mt. Blanc de tacul, but the hardest bit was to come - the side of Maudit. I was not well acclimatised and this was my first big climb. It was hard work but good experience. The summit was cold and there was a strong wind blowing, we didn't stay for long! Way down was much easier but there were more people using the gouter ridge to ascend. 7 hrs to summit from the cable car station. Would be less if I had been acclimatised. | ||

Rahel Maria Liu | Route Climbed: Normal route from Col de la Brenva (Aiguille du Midi, Mont Blanc du Tacul, Mont Maudit) Date Climbed: July 29, 2002 | |
Although Ivano and I had to carry very heavy backpacks with tent, sleeping bags etc. because of our 2 bivouacs before and after opening our new route on Mont Maudit (Eperon Gousseault), we found it boring to return from Col de la Brenva the same way on which we reached it (Aiguille du Midi). So we decided that it would be more fun, if we made our descent including an ascent of Mont Blanc - and it was fun. Our first plan was even, that we did our second bivouac after our new route on Mont Maudit on top of Mont Blanc. But because we had started quite late the day before for our new route and therefore had reached Col de la Brenva quite late in the evening, we had decided to make our second bivouac on Col de la Brenva as well instead on Mont Blanc, although it would probably have been more funny on the summit of Mont Blanc .... We were very lazy in the morning, got up late, took a long breakfast , enjoyed ourselves, the mountains and the great weather and started from Col de la Brenva not before noon. Therefore we were probably the last persons who reached Mont Blanc from Col de la Brenva that day .... the advantage: very few people whom we met during the descent. Descent of Mont Blanc via Aiguille du Goûter and Tete Rousse. | ||

mountaindog | Route Climbed: Gouter - Bosses Ridge Date Climbed: July 2001 | |
Did the standard route with a friend last summer. We bivied above the Gouter hut and got a good start before the hut crowd got on the route. Perfect snow conditions and low wind. A nice summit which you'll share with a good sized crowd on the good days. Nice snow route with no real technical difficulties - provided the weather is good. Greatest danger other than bad weather (high winds, white outs, etc) and stonefall in the couloir are the unprepared novices who crowd the route. Be prepared, fit, and fast. The couloir above the Tete Rouse Hut must be crossed quickly and during the descent, be sure not to get off route and start descending it by mistake. If you have successfully summitted peaks such as Rainier or Shasta (Hotlum) on your own, you can do Mont Blanc. | ||

Climbed with Monica Spicker. Storm on the night of the 18th lasted until late morning. We left the hut a about 10:30 AM and reached the summit at about 3:30 PM. New snow and high winds - but not as many people as I understand is normal. | ||

phillinley | Route Climbed: Dome Du Gouter Date Climbed: july 22, 2002 | |
One of the worst climbing experiences of my life and also the most thrilling. Left the snow dome above the Gouter hut at 3 a.m. with clear skies. Once we reached the dome du gouter we came into a complete whiteout with horrible winds. We pushed on with great diificulty and approaching the Valot Hut we realized their was no chance and rather than getting stuck in the ice box refuge we made a break for the return camp. It ended up being 100 kmh+ winds with four feet of snow and a complete whiteout obscuring the trail. Good work with the compass brought us back to relative safety. | ||

Thanks to SummitPost, I have looked two parners to climb Mont Blanc: Mike and Jeff. Mike come from USA, Jeff from Germany (but he is USA citizens) and I from Italy. We have met ourselves In Chamonix and Thursday we left to Ref. Du Gouter. Weather not good, snowed. The refuge was full and we have slept on the floor (and we have payed for this!). Friday morning we have started to tclimb Mont Blanc at 2:45 and we're arrived on the peak at 8:10. Too cold, we're been for about half an hour inside the bivouac Vallot (very crowed) to wait the sunrise. On the peak just a time to take some photos and then we come back to Ref. du Gouter and then to Tramway du Mont Blanc at 16.30 (and we have left to Bellevue at 17:50). Geat weather, great day, and great climbing! | ||

This 204 Ruger cartridge is loaded with Ballistic Tip polymer tipped projectiles manufactured by Nosler. The polymer tip at the front of the projectile reduces deformation in a magazine and upon impact it initiates awesome expansion. Moving down the contour of the projectile, this bullet features a boat tail design with a solid base to allow for streamlined stable flight at ultra high velocities. The Ballistic Tip bullet features a tapered jacket which is thicker at the base of the bullet than at the front allowing this bullet to mushroom out dropping game in its tracks!
This ammo is ideal for hunting thin skinned game and it is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable.

Jul 16, 2013
A survey of teachers who instruct American middle and high school students finds that digital technologies are impacting student writing in myriad ways and there are significant advantages from tech-based learning.
Some 78% of the 2,462 advanced placement (AP) and National Writing Project (NWP) teachers surveyed by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project say digital tools such as the internet, social media, and cell phones "encourage student creativity and personal expression." In addition:
According to teachers, students' exposure to a broader audience for their work and more feedback from peers encourages greater student investment in what they write and in the writing process as a whole.

The planet Saturn has been seen in the eastern part of Virgo the maiden and has been moving westward until it stood very close to the bright star Spica, the brightest star in Virgo. This pair has been noticeable after sunset and now is low in the southwest as the sky darkens.
However, on June 26, Saturn appeared to stop and then start moving back to the east. Since Saturn is the farthest planet from the Sun visible to the naked eye, it appears to move very slowly.
However, roaring in from the west has come the red planet Mars. Mars is much closer to the Sun than Saturn and, thus, moves much more quickly. It crossed the boundary from the constellation of Leo the lion in late June and is now speeding through Virgo to the west. It is quickly approaching both Spica and Saturn.
So, what do we have to look forward to? On the evening of August 13, the red planet will be less than two degrees north of Spica. Then, on the evening of August 17, Mars will pass just three degrees to the south of Saturn. So, for a week or so in the middle of August, watch this ballet of the planets in the southwest after evening twilight.
On the evening of August 21 a waxing crescent moon will join this trio of Mars, Saturn and Spica, forming sort of a lop-sided square in our evening sky. Realize of course, that while the planets and the Moon themselves are, in fact, moving, much of what we see is due to the fact that we are observing these celestial bodies from a moving platform, namely the surface of the Earth. So, go out and enjoy the show!

Cedar Rapids Weather
WBB: Iowa To Host Miami (FL) With Notre Dame LoomingBy Jeff Linder, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Iowa coaching staff began advance scouting on a cluster of about eight teams last week, in preparation for the NCAA women's basketball tournament.
"Miami wasn't one of them," head coach Lisa Bluder said. The Hawkeyes (20-12) earned a No. 9 seed and will face the eighth-seeded Hurricanes (21-10) in the first round at 6:30 Sunday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena (ESPN2). Iowa is making its 22nd appearance, its sixth in a row. Thirteen other programs have qualified each of the past six years; Iowa is the only Big Ten program that can make that claim. "It means a lot," said Jaime Printy, one of three seniors on the team. "I was a little nervous (about whether we would make it), more than any other year." Top-seeded, second-ranked Notre Dame (31-1) meets Tennessee-Martin (19-14) in the other game at 4 p.m. The winners play at 8:30 next Tuesday night. "Notre Dame would be a great potential opponent," said sophomore point guard Samantha Logic. "We would have nothing to lose. "But we need to have 100-percent focus on Miami. And we will." Miami wasn't on Bluder's radar as a first-round opponent because she, like most everyone else, figured the Hawkeyes would be a 10 seed, or maybe an 11. Iowa has qualified for the NCAA 10 times in Bluder's 13 seasons (she has a first-round record of 3-6, a second-round mark of 0-3). Of those 10 berths, the Hawkeyes have played in the 8-vs.-9 game on seven occasions. "It's almost laughable," Bluder said. "It seems we're always in that (8-vs.-9) game. I thought we'd be 10 or 11, and up we pop in the 8-9 game again." "I expected a 10 or 11 (seed)," said senior center Morgan Johnson. "Our strength of schedule boosted us up. We're a good team, and I think the NCAA knows that." The Hawkeyes entered the Associated Press rankings for a week in late January, when they were 16-5 overall and 5-2 in the Big Ten. But they lost five straight games -- including a nasty three-game spell against Illinois, Northwestern and Minnesota -- and were forced to scramble and recover at the end of the season to clinch a tournament berth. In the end, the Hawkeyes' strength of schedule (21st in the country) was enough to get them in. Iowa has an RPI of 42. The Hurricanes tied for fourth in the ACC at 11-7, handing Duke its only conference loss. "I've watched them a couple times," Logic said. "Obviously, they come from a good conference. They're pretty athletic. They're a great team." Against four common opponents (Penn State, Wisconsin, Florida State and North Carolina), Iowa posted a 2-3 record while Miami was 2-4. Miami is a strong defensive squad, allowing just 58.9 points per game. The 2011 Associated Press national co-coach of the year, Miami Coach Katie Meier employs a nine-player rotation. Morgan Stroman (6-foot-1 senior forward) leads the Hurricanes at 12.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game while Stefanie Yderstrom (5-8 senior guard from Sweden) adds 12 points per game and has made 60 3-pointers. Shawnice Wilson (9.9 ppg) stands 6-6. The NCAA is coming to Carver for the first time in 2009. Iowa lost to Georgia Tech in the first round that year. The last time Iowa got to the Sweet 16 (in 1996), it won its first two games at home. Iowa leads the all-time series with Miami, 2-0, beating the Hurricanes twice in the 1985-86 season.

Is Your L2 Information Current?
The Library Learning (L2) service is a very important library resource that is used by the statewide library community. L2 features include:
- A directory of Illinois libraries, library staff, and public library board members, with an opportunity to include biographical information
- Event registration, including programs, workshops, meetings, and conferences, both online and in person
- A listing of events, organized by library system
- The compilation of one's personal "learning history" of professional development program credits
- A listing of presenters that may be useful to program planners
Library staff and board members are asked to check their Library Learning (L2) profiles and update their information at http://www.librarylearning.info. Library directors are also asked to update their library information.
Individuals who change jobs, or work at or represent more than one library, are asked to maintain only a single profile. This ensures that the "learning history" is not scattered among several profiles. To change or add library affiliations, sign in, click on your name, and choose Edit profile. Then edit the libraries. The L2 platform only allows one email address to be associated with an account, so enter your preferred email address.
The continuation of the Library Learning (L2) service is made possible by eight Illinois library systems, working cooperatively with the Illinois State Library. The partners have collaboratively planned, funded, and implemented this project to maintain Library Learning (L2) operations and services.
Upcoming continuing education opportunities at LCLS:
- Thursday, February 10, 2011 (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM), GateNet Circulation I: The Circulation Desk and Patron Records. Please register in LibraryLearning (L2) here.

After months of bitter fighting over the future of computer maker Dell Inc., Carl Icahn said in a sharply worded letter Monday that he was giving up.
That appears to clear the way for Chief Executive Michael Dell to take the company he founded private during a shareholder vote set for Thursday.
But Icahn didn't go quietly. He directed some final jabs at Michael Dell, reiterating that he still thought the founder's buyout offer was too low, and compared the company's board -- which postponed the shareholder vote numerous times and changed the voting rules to better Michael Dell's takeover chances -- to a dictatorship. He noted that "some stockholders will be disappointed that we do not fight on."
Icahn's departure plus a recent change to Dell's shareholder voting rules should solidify Michael Dell's victory during Thursday's 7 a.m. PDT vote at the company's Round Rock, Texas, headquarters.
Before the vote change, shares not cast counted as "no" votes; now the outcome of the vote depends solely on actual votes cast. Dell also pushed back the date of record for stockholders entitled to vote.
Those last-minute maneuvers by Dell angered Icahn.
"We won, or at least thought we won, but when the board realized that they lost the vote, they simply ignored the outcome. Even in a dictatorship when the ruling party loses an election, and then ignores its outcome, it attempts to provide a plausible reason to justify their actions," Icahn said. "We jokingly ask, 'What's the difference between Dell and a dictatorship?' The answer: Most functioning dictatorships only need to postpone the vote once to win."
Still, Icahn said, he wished Michael Dell and his company well... sort of.
"We therefore congratulate Michael Dell and I intend to call him to wish him good luck (he may need it)," he said.
Shares of Dell were unchanged at 10 a.m. PDT.
Michael Dell is hoping the going-private move will help the struggling computer maker re-invent itself away from the glare and pressures of Wall Street.
Under Dell's revised proposal, announced in July, he and investment firm Silver Lake would acquire the PC maker for $13.75 per share in cash, up from the group's previous offer of $13.65 per share. That bumps the value of the bid to $24.6 billion, up from $24.4 billion.
In Icahn's most recent bid, Dell shareholders would have received $14 a share and a warrant for every four shares that they tender. The warrants could be used to purchase Dell shares for $20 in the future.
The billionaire activist investor also made a movie reference in his letter and plugged his Twitter account:
"The Dell board, like so many boards in this country, reminds me of Clark Gable's last words in 'Gone with the Wind,' they simply 'don't give a damn,'" Icahn wrote. "If you are incensed by the actions of the Dell Board as much as I am, I hope you will choose to follow me on Twitter where from time to time I give my investment insights."
Icahn still has other fish to fry, though. He has recently been pressuring Apple Inc., saying the company's stock is undervalued.

NORMAN — James Andrew Payne was born on Nov. 9, 1934, in Tahlequah. The son of Andrew Hartley Payne and Vivian Shaddox Payne, he and his sister, Norma Jean Payne Roupe, spent the majority of their childhood in Oklahoma City. Jim was a member of the Cherokee tribe.
After three years at Northeast High School, he went to Northeastern College in Tahlequah. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in engineering physics at age 19. After university, Jim served in the Army during the Korean War and later received his Ph.D. from UCLA. He then joined the faculty of the Engineering College at the University of Oklahoma.
Jim had three passions: his family, his church and OU football.
On Feb. 10, 1966, he married the love of his life, Glenda Gamble Payne. Together they raised two children, Ian Andrew Payne and Teresa Stanton Collett. During the summers, Jim consulted with NASA, and the family spent summers in Massachusetts, California and Virginia.
Jim was blessed with a son-in-law who shared his passion for family and OU football, Robert Hugh Collett; three devoted grandchildren, Robert Hugh Collett Jr., Christina Collett Krautbauer and Laura Collett Forcella; and their spouses, as well as five lively great-grandchildren, Jenna Elizabeth Forsyth, Thomas Evan Forsyth VI, Lynn Collett Krautbauer, Gilbert Hugh Krautbauer and Becket Payne Collett.
Jim passed away on Aug. 19, 2013, and a memorial service was hosted Saturday, Aug. 24, at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City. For more than 20 years, the church had played a central role in Jim and Glenda's lives. Jim assisted with televising church services for more than 10 years, and the couple frequently helped serve communion.
Jim is survived by his wife, sister, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Memorial contributions may be made to St. Luke's United Methodist Church garden fund to continue the work that Jim began by renovating the church fountains in honor of his wife, or to other charitable organizations.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Primrose Funeral Service, primrosefuneralservice.com.

The progressive myoclonus epilepsies (PME) are a group of disorders with myoclonus as a prominent clinical feature in addition to generalized, focal, and atypical absence seizures. Lafora Disease (LD) presents in early adolescence and may initially mimic IGE though progressively worsening myoclonus after an initial GTC signals a different course. Slow cognitive decline, visual impairment, visual hallucinations, and occipital seizures become evident. Progressive myoclonus, refractory epilepsy, dementia, ataxia, and speech dysfunction occurs. Total care is evident prior to a fatal demise which occurs within 10 years after onset. EEG changes may precede the clinical symptoms by 6 years. Diffuse slowing and generalized IEDs occur in virtually everyone. Slowing and loss of an alpha rhythm gradually became replaced by generalized IEDs with occipital predominance in addition to focal and multi-focal abnormalities. The IEDs wane during sleep unlike genetic generalized epilepsy where the IEDs become more prominent. Giant SSEPs were seen. A biopsy demonstrated Lafora bodies. He died at 21 years old.

Q: Where can I find information about Moon signs for quitting smoking or potty training, and different things like this. e.g. (potty training is easier when the Moon is in Sagittarius, which rules the thighs).
-- Christina
A. What an interesting question! Each passage of the Moon through the signs offers something different -- a special focus or direction. Here's a list of some of the correlations between zodiac signs and the body, which may help.
Aries: Head, blood, circulation, adrenals
Taurus: Throat, neck, voice, thyroid
Gemini: Lungs, hands, fingers, breathing
Cancer: Breasts, belly, eating
Leo: Heart, back
Virgo: Small intestines, digestion
Libra: Kidneys,
Scorpio: Sexual and elimination organs
Sagittarius: Thighs, hips, buttocks, sciatic nerve
Capricorn: Skin, bones, teeth, knees
Aquarius: Ankles, nervous/electric energy in the body, nerve impulses
Pisces: Feet, lymphatic system, immune system
Moon phases are also relevant. The period from the new Moon to the Full, when the Moon is growing in light, is great for growing and expanding things. It's the best time in the Moon cycle to cut your hair for growth.
The period from the full Moon to the New, when the Moon is losing light, is great for completing and finalizing matters.

Crews: Gang Members Talk to Maria HinojosaNational Public Radio reporter Maria Hinojosa's work with "crew" (gang) members of New York City inspired this in-depth collection of interviews. Her direct, nonjudgmental questions evoke poignant, surprising, and sometimes shocking responses from young people torn between violence and struggle for survival in America's cities. "The contemporary topic, universal themes, accessible writing, and compelling language will fill a void on many libraries' shelves. These powerful statements may serve as a wake-up call to young adults and all who work with them today."--School Library Journal. |

The main regulatory component of the proposed legislation is an obligation for EU-based managers of so-called 'alternative investment funds' to register and disclose their activities, in order to improve supervision and avoid systemic risks.
The obligations are not applied to the funds themselves, but only to their managers, "since it is the manager who is responsible for all key decisions," argued EU Internal Market Commissioner Charlie McCreevy.
However, critics recalled that the Commission had pushed for regulation of so-called UCITS funds - EU funds marketed to retail investors - as a means of increasing guarantees to investors.
Moreover, the exemption of funds from the proposed new regulation will leave hedge funds and private equity free to develop their investment policies, despite the fact that their risk-prone attitudes have been strongly criticised during the current financial crisis.
Following heavy pressure from the Socialists in the European Parliament, McCreevy decided to lower the threshold under which managers would not be subjected to the new regulation. Instead of €250 million managed, the new minimum is now €100 million. Even so, the Commission reckons that less than a third of hedge-fund managers will be covered by the directive.
McCreevy gave a helping hand to this under-pressure €2 trillion industry, which is seen as a key "alternative source of capital" for companies.
Indeed, he proposed to make it easier for hedge-fund managers to market their products throughout Europe. Under the new rules, once a manager is registered in an EU country, he will be able to act across EU markets.
In addition, three years after the entry into force of the directive, the EU market should also be opened to third-country funds, like those based in fiscal havens, provided that they comply with "stringent requirements on regulation, supervision and cooperation, including on tax matters," reads a Commission press release.
"The management of offshore funds is an important feature of hedge-fund and private-equity business models. The proposal will provide a safe and secure framework for it to continue," McCreevy said during a press conference.
The Commission adopted a milder approach towards private equity, which is not considered to pose systemic risks, but has been widely criticised for its impact on the employees of the companies it buys out. The threshold under which they will be exempted from regulation is €500 million.

I'm Justin Kopepasah, but most people call me Koop. My passions are building things for the web, making WordPress better, salsa dancing and traveling.
Staying on task is important and that's why I use Trello to make sure I stay on track with everything (projects, daily life, et cetera). Each day is tackeled according to plans set out days in advance. Whether you are a team of two, twenty or one thousand, I highly recommend Trello.
I don't know everything (nor will I ever); however, I strive for continual growing and am always ready learn something new. Currently my focus it web and software development, with an emphasis towards WordPress.
With over seven years experience in web design and developement (six years with WordPress), my skills are sure to fit your needs.

When I work, I keep all my development local. If you develop locally using an Apache server, then you will most likely need to change the Apache user and group so that uploads (particularly through WordPress) will upload properly. To change the user and group, find and edit this file: Find the User and Group […]

Out of Liu Chia-liang's classics, this one really stands out. It's almost a full-scale slapstick comedy, as well as a tailor-made showcase for the "odd couple" skills of international favorite Alexander Fu Sheng and the elegant "Cary Grant of kung-fu" Cheng Shao-chiu (Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain and Shaolin And Wutang). Their wushu squabbling for supremacy ultimately imperils an incognito emperor, resulting in a sparkling, unexpected family affair from the king of kung-fu filmmakers
