Lottery money will help fund new welcome centre at Westonbirt Arboretum
10:12am Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News By SNJ Reporter
A GRANT of £1.9 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund has been awarded to Westonbirt Arboretum.
The grant means phase one of the Westonbirt Project - a development plan which includes restoration of the Grade I registered landscape and the construction of a new Welcome Building and car park can begin in 2013.
"This is a great step forward in realising our ambitious plans to raise the level of the arboretum's visitor and learning facilities to match that of its world class tree collection.
"This award will go a long way to help make Westonbirt a place where all visitors can enjoy and learn so much more about the arboretum and its trees," said Simon Toomer, arboretum director.
The funding will also allow the arboretum to engage with wider communities through new projects and more resources.

Could there be any more red flags flapping in the breeze as the Redskins continue to unravel in their disappointing first year under head coach Mike Shanahan?
With Shanahan apparently determined to play out the string this season with QB Donovan McNabb relegated to the bench in favor of both Rex Grossman and John Beck, the Redskins' season-long failure to coexist with high-priced free-agent bust Albert Haynesworth almost seems like small potatoes by comparison.
Make no mistake. Failing to qualify for the playoffs for the 15th time in 18 years and with major problems abounding on offense, defense and special teams, the Redskins couldn't be in a bigger mess at the moment.
At the root of the team's current dysfunction is the phasing out of the 34-year-old McNabb. Obtained last Easter for a second-round pick this year and what turned out to be a fourth-round pick next year, the six-time Pro Bowler was initially heralded as the next John Elway by Shanahan, who caught Super Bowl lightning in a bottle with Elway in Denver at a similar stage in his career as McNabb.
But in the final two minutes with a game against the Lions at Detroit on the line at the end of October, Shanahan sent out a different signal altogether, benching McNabb for Grossman and then exacerbating what looked like a vote of no confidence in McNabb with one convoluted explanation after another that left insiders around the league scratching their heads.
The head-scratching intensified last month when McNabb was suddenly given a five-year contract extension nominally worth $78 million — until it was disclosed that the new agreement contained a clause that allowed the Redskins to release McNabb at season's end with no further financial obligation beyond a $3.5 million payoff this season.
Then, fresh off one of McNabb's best statistical outings of the year (100.7 passer rating with two TDs and zero interceptions in the Week 14 loss to the Buccaneers), Shanahan announced early last week that McNabb would be put in mothballs for the rest of the season — a move McNabb's agent, Fletcher Smith, immediately declared "beyond disrespectful."
The people in the know around the league whom PFW talked to were equally critical.
"What the hell is going on?" one high-ranking NFL executive wondered aloud. "What is Bruce Allen's role in all of this? He was the general manager and negotiated the trade (for McNabb) and gave up all those picks. This is leading to a complete implosion. What I want to know: What was the $3.5 million payoff for? They are complaining about not having an indoor practice facility, and you are just going to give money away.
"It's obviously not a bipartisan agreement in Washington right now. Where is the fiscal accountability? Anyone in the know knows (Redskins offensive coordinator and Mike Shanahan's son) Kyle Shanahan does not like McNabb. This is strictly Kyle Shanahan and his old man making the decision. He (Mike Shanahan) is covering for his kid. Who negotiated the trade and made it so one-sided? And who negotiated the contract. This situation looks like a complete (disaster).
"There are assistant coaches and front-office people in the building who are in complete shock right now, and there is no one to explain anything. ... Rex Grossman cannot single-handedly lift an organization. Shanahan said he needs to evaluate him. Go back and look at what he did in Chicago. There is all the tape you need on the guy."
What the Redskins need to do is seriously consider relieving Kyle Shanahan of his offensive-coordinator duties, according to a veteran personnel executive familiar with Shanahan from his time in Houston under Gary Kubiak, a former Broncos assistant under Shanahan.
"Kyle never should have been a coordinator," the personnel exec told PFW. "He should be a WR coach or QB coach. He was handed that (coordinator) job; he did not earn it. The players don't respect him (in Washington). Donovan does not respect that little punk — he has not done anything. He (Shanahan) played at Texas — he was an undrafted free-agent receiver who could not make it, and Daddy brought him up from there. Kubiak was the coordinator in Houston. He gave (Kyle) the title for his old man, but Kubiak was calling the plays.
"Their problem right now is pretty simple," added the personnel exec. "They have a head coach. They don't have capable coordinators. (Defensive coordinator) Jim Haslett is not getting it done (either). If I were there, they would be running a 4-3, and Haynesworth would not be getting run off. They have completely mishandled their two most important players on each side of the ball (McNabb on offense, Haynesworth on defense), and it's because their coordinators don't have the interpersonal skills to make it work.
"It's embarrassing. It really is. (Redskins owner) Dan (Snyder) fired Marty Schottenheimer after a year. Who's to say he couldn't do the same thing with Shanahan? (Snyder) has got to be searching for answers. I'll tell you what is weakening this league. It's incompetence and nepotism — and I'm not sure which is first.
"But they are both clearly on display in the nation's capital right now."
In addition, the clear consensus is that nothing good will come from the Redskins' failed marriage with McNabb, whose market value has decreased significantly.
"No one is trading for Donovan McNabb now," the league executive told PFW. "They (other teams) did not trade for him last year. Who was in the market to trade last year? Minnesota did not want him. Arizona, maybe. They are not giving up anything of value now. This situation was mishandled on so many different levels it really is just embarrassing."

Halle Berry, Tom Hanks are temporal travelers
Actors love a challenge, right? So the idea of playing as many as six characters across very different time periods — from the 1800s to the post-apocalyptic future — must have been exhilarating for Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and their "Cloud Atlas" co-stars, right? "I thought they were all a bitch, to tell you the truth! They were all tough," Hanks says with a laugh.
But in all seriousness, playing all those characters — and putting on all the makeup involved in distinguishing them — was far from daunting for Berry. "They weren't tough at all. Honestly, it was like the most fun to stretch. I got to play a white Jewish woman in 1930 — like, when would I get to do that?" she asks. "You just don't get better than having to choose from all these unique people and characters. I'll never get to be an Asian man again, probably ever."
One thing Hanks definitely wasn't worried about was looking silly. That's something he stopped doing a long time ago. "I've had experiences on a number of occasions where we were going to shoot for something that was going to be very precarious and sometimes it works," he says. "Like 'Castaway' was a movie where we thought, 'We are breaking every rule here, is anybody going to give a s– about this guy when he never talks and he's on an island and all it is about is falling coconuts?' Every movie is a huge minefield that you're walking, not if it's going to be a success but if it's going to be a cohesive story that people get. In this case they just threw so deep and it was so attractive if only for that reason, that you throw your lot in. Otherwise what are you going to do? Only make movies that are guaranteed to work? Well, guess what, we could be sitting here talking about 'Forrest Gump 6,' which is a lot better than 'Forrest Gump 5.' Who wants to do that for the rest of their lives?"
But the release of "Cloud Atlas" is a bit bittersweet, at least for Berry, as she worries she'll never do another film like it. "I think in my lifetime it's going to take someone to be wildly visionary and willing take the risks," she says of the independently financed $100 million film, directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer. "Not to say it can't be done. I just don't know if the lottery will put my name in another venture like this."
Hanks agrees with the sentiment, adding that "Cloud Atlas" may have spoiled the actors, who have to return to traditional films now. "We are all spoiled because we always said this: 'The next time we're in a movie we're just going to play one person,'" Hanks says. "It's not going to be the same as playing all of these people."
Halle Berry to the paparazzi: There's not enough room for the both of us
One of the six characters Halle Berry plays over the course of "Cloud Atlas" is investigative journalist Luisa Rey. So did the role give her any more sympathy for the folks who spend their time investigating her? Not so much.
"I think journalism definitely has a place in our society, especially good journalism, but I think we've also become a society where we're now focused on little children and what kids are wearing, and that is a hard for me to swallow," Berry says. "There are so many more important things to write about in life than what 4-year-olds are wearing, and showing kids going to and from school and doing their normal everyday life. … I'm wildly frustrated by that."

Mr. Glenn Hamilton – "Solid Beyond Belief"
Scripture Reference: 1 Peter 1:21-25
"But the word of the Lord remains forever." And that word is the Good News that was preached to you." – 1 Peter 1:25 (NLT)
Where do I go when it seems like everything around me is moving and shifting all the time. It so often feels like the pace of my life and the variety of inputs are sometimes overwhelming. The fact that the word endures forever means an anchor point in the middle of our often over-full lives. This anchor holds us steady and points to the Good News that is found in Jesus.
It's also the beginning of all good works (2 Timothy 3:17). It seems that our Christian lives become so full with good things to do that we run ahead of His directives. Working for Him rather than with Him becomes an all too familiar pattern for many of us.
Even as I write this I have become reacquainted with an old friend in the scriptures. I am reminded of the stability that being in the word on a regular basis brings to a person's life. Where are you creating space to simply be in the word of God? Pick a time that works best for your rhythm of life. Simply start by asking the Holy Spirit to show you what He has for you through the word. Then begin reading in small sections each day. Remember that the goal is not to finish reading but to be in the word. You will be amazed at the solidity that will begin to develop in your life.

So I'm watching MLB Network's "Top 10 Right Now", hosted by Brian Kenny and focusing on catchers, when Bill James shows up with his Top 10 list ...
Kenny: "Bit of a surprise here, Bill. You throw this right out at us: Ryan Hanigan of the Cincinnati Reds. Why Hanigan?"
James: "With Ben Zobrist, those two are the most underrated players in baseball. I mean, Hanigan's on-base percentage is not only good, it's very, very good. He's hit .260, .270 or better every year of his career. He walks a lot. He throws extremely well. The Cincinnati Reds' ERA with Hanigan catching last year was 3.04; when he wasn't catching, it was up around 3.8. Maybe Ben Zobrist is the most underrated player in baseball, but Ryan Hanigan may be the most underrated player in baseball."
I'll give you MLBN's list (via "the Shredder) along with mine, later. But Ryan Hanigan?
Yeah, you can make the case for him. Last season, he finished 11th among catchers in Wins Above Replacement (according to FanGraphs). This, even though he started only 98 games all season.
It's pretty clear, on the other hand, that the Cincinnati Reds don't believe that Hanigan is among the top 10 catchers in the majors; he started only 98 games all season. Oh, and they just signed Miguel Olivo; granted, it was a minor-league deal, but with Proven Veterans you never know what a manager will do. Oh, and they've also got young(ish) Devin Mesoraco, another righty-hitting catcher. He started 48 games last season.
Hanigan was real good, but at 32 he's probably peaked. And some significant measure of his value comes from things we're still not real good at measuring.
What's more interesting to me than Hanigan's playing time is the general concept of underrated. This came up when people were eulogizing Stan Musial, and I started wondering how one could measure underratedness. Like it or not (this means you, Jim Caple), you basically have to begin with some measure of all-around performance; I like Wins Above Replacement and you might like something else, but without a good measure of performance, we're nowhere.
From there, you can compare performance to things like All-Star balloting and MVP (or Cy Young) Award support. I would like to include more esoteric measures -- column inches in newspapers, or magazine covers, etc. -- but the data collection alone would be a monstrous task. I suppose that Google hits could be useful today. In fact, let's see what happens when we Google two current greats ...
Prince Fielder - 3,200,000
Ben Zobrist - 473,000
Hrmmm. That tells us something, I guess. But there are lots of reasons why one player would rank higher than another in this category. A long bout of free agency, for example. Or a recent postseason appearance. I have little doubt that Zobrist is underrated, compared to Fielder. But Googling their names doesn't tell us a great deal.
In the absence of a massive research project, then, one's underrated list will necessarily be personal, idiosyncratic, and thus singular. Especially because in today's baseball, it's really difficult to be terribly underrated. Zobrist is, because he plays different positions and isn't spectacular in anything he does; he's merely good at just about everything, which has always gone unappreciated by both the general public and most of the pundits.
Ryan Hanigan, though? It's hard for me to believe that a part-time player is the second-most underrated player in the game, unless you can make the case that management's holding him down; that he'd be an All-Star if the Reds would just play him as often as he deserves. In the meantime, though, I think I'll stick with Alex Gordon, who somehow ranks fifth in the majors in Wins Above Replacement (Wins+) over the last two seasons. Even if the method is generous -- and I will note that Baseball-Reference.com's Wins+ has him fifth, too -- dropping Gordon to 10th or 15th or 20th would still have him much higher than almost everybody in the baseball world would guess. So I'm going to go with this ranking:
1. Alex Gordon
2. Ben Zobrist
3. Austin Jackson
4. Erick Aybar
5. (You choose.)
Now, about the 10 best catchers, here was the list according to the Shredder:
10. A.J. Ellis
9. Alex Avila
8. Matt Wieters
7. Carlos Santana
6. Salvador Perez
5. Joe Mauer
4. Miguel Montero
3. Carlos Ruiz
2. Yadier Molina
1. Buster Posey
I think that's a perfectly reasonable list, actually, and it tracks pretty closely with B-R.com's Wins+ for the last two seasons, with the only notable deviations being Perez and Ellis, both for obvious reasons (limited playing time in 2011). I think you have bump Ruiz down a couple of slots, if only because we know he's going to miss most of April while serving a 25-game suspension for failing a drug test. And Perez is probably a slot or two too high, as he just doesn't have the professional track record to suggest that he's really the sixth-best catcher on earth, this very moment.
All we really know is that if you had the first pick in the catcher draft, you would probably choose Posey, and if you had the second pick you would probably take Molina. After those two, you'd have to think real hard.

U.S. Congressman Charlie Dent (15th Dist.) is cosponsoring the Uniting American Families Act that seeks to equalize immigration laws for same-sex couples. The bill would allow an American citizen who marries a same-sex foreign national to sponsor him or her for permanent residency.
Dent joins just three Republicans who have cosponsored the bill, along with 140 Democrats.
Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-New York) introduced the measure in April 2011 and it has been stalled in committee since.
Dent is a moderate Republican and has voted for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and to extend the federal hate-crimes law to include members of the LGBT community. Dent has also voted for the Employment Nondiscrimination Act to prohibit job discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Adrian Shanker, president of Equality Pennsylvania, thanked Dent and said his cosponsorship is an acknowledgment of the inequality the LGBT community faces from the federal government.
"He recognized that our families don't have equality in the eyes of the federal government," Shanker said. "The only way we are going to win LGBT equality is if we have bipartisan support. It opens the door for more Republican support."
Dent said the reaction to his cosponsorship has been favorable. He said he has personally seen the effects of the inequality in immigration laws in his own community.
"I have received a great deal of input from individuals in the private sectors and businesses also expressed to me that they were losing some of their talented workers," he said.
Dent cited a same-sex couple in Allentown who had to move back to England because of immigration rules and noted that even his former colleague, Republican Congressman Jim Kolbe from Arizona, was personally affected by the immigration laws.
"It struck me that the current situation is very unfair and the U.S. is losing talented citizens to other countries because of this current problem," Dent said.
Dent spearheaded a bill that would allow green-card-holding military members to gain easier access to citizenship. He said he was fortunate to have that measure passed so quickly.
Although he is not sure of the timeline for the UAFA, he envisions a challenge getting it passed.
Shanker, however, believes that as long as the bill has bipartisan support, it stands a fighting chance.
"If members of Congress from both parties take a look at the bill, they would agree that there is no reason to not support it," he said. "This bill will positively affect the LGBT, business and immigration community."
Shanker said the public support for LGBT equality is at an all-time high and the community is gaining support from different sectors than in the past.
"The LGBT-equality movement is seeing more support in every which way. I think in Pennsylvania, a lot of these issues are seen as common sense and I think that is the message Congressman Dent's colleagues in the Republican caucus need to see."
Shanker said he was not surprised to hear the news of Dent's cosponsorship.
"It is not a departure from his core beliefs, and I think he is interested in looking at pieces of legislation that are common sense," he said.
Shanker encouraged the LGBT community to show appreciation for Dent's position on UAFA.
"I think it is important that the LGBT community thank our members of Congress for doing something, whether they are Democrats or Republicans," he said. "All they need to do is call Dent's office and thank him."

For twenty years, the publication's selected and highlighted the cuisine of 10 outstanding chefs. Many of the chosen chefs — past Best New Chefs include Tom Colicchio, Daniel Boulud, and Thomas Keller — have grown into culinary superstars. But before they can make their mark on the food industry, this year's Best New Chefs had to make food for Saturday's party. To take a closer look at the details of the party, click the "Start" button. The Arrival What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The gorgeous event space was located at the end of a long driveway. However, partygoers knew they were headed in the right direction because the entire walkway was framed by tiki torches. 1 / 10 The Signs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fun signs pointed revelers in the direction of food and drink. If this were my party, I would have included a sign pointing towards the hard to find bathroom. 2 / 10 The Decor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Like a relaxing spa, the look of the party was sleek and serene. Lush greens, crisp whites, and clean grays made up the color scheme. Geometric shapes, minimalist lines, and plush plant arrangements made the party feel festive and chic. 3 / 10 More Decor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 No detail was spared, the streamlined look was reflected in everything down to the Champagne glasses. Here, rows and rows of artfully arranged glasses await the guests' arrival. 4 / 10 The View What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The stunning natural landscape of Aspen enhanced the mood of the event. Without such a breathtaking backdrop, the lustrous look could have felt cold and stark. 6 / 10 The Bar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Although there wasn't a full bar, partiers had plenty of selection when it came to drinks. There was white, red, or sparkling wine, an assortment of beers and tequilas, and several specialty cocktails. 6 / 10 The Drinks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While YumSugar enjoyed a margarita, I enjoyed the incredible detail of the party. Even the cocktail napkins were printed with the occasion's title. 7 / 10 The Flowers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The flowers were in the same color tone, but each table had a different flower arrangement. The lack of uniformity made the ambiance feel less pretentious. 8 / 10 The James Table What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Each chef was invited to decorate their table. With its simple vases filled with lilies and limes, the James table's decor was the most cohesive and eye catching. 9 / 10 My Favorite Moment What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chicken Liver and Champagne: it doesn't get much better than this! 11 / 10 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Aspen Food And WineBest New Chefs DinnerFood And Wine ClassicEventsBest New ChefsPartySugar Behind The BashFood And Wine Aspen Food And Wine Give the Classic Martini a Modern Twist 4 hours ago A Modern Twist on a Classic: Fried Chicken 2 weeks ago Try Not to Blush Watching These Celebrity Chefs Talk About Foodgasms 2 weeks ago 15 Hangover Cures That Chefs Swear By 2 weeks ago Get the Dish: Scott Conant's Spaghetti Aglio e Olio 3 weeks ago The Next Great Mashup: Tex-Mex Barbecue Tacos 3 weeks ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

News: Snoop Dogg Names The "Baddest B*tches" In History [Video]
Wednesday, Oct 12, 2011 1:40PM
West Coast rap veteran Snoop Dogg has released a new sketch comedy video where he names his personal picks for the "Baddest B*tches in History", highlighting various women in different shapes and forms.
Portraying himself as fictional character "Nemo Hoes," Snoop went back in time to name his top picks.
"Nemo Hoes back at you with a new segment, 'Bad B*tches of History.' We're gonna run down a couple of bad b*tches from the past and I'm gonna give you my explanation of why they were bad and some of them still bad. Catherine the Great horse gobbler. She goes down in history for being one of the baddest b*tches for being able to take hold a mule at full throttle. 14 inches. Mad thrusting...Joan of Arc. They put the b*tch on the cross because she gave a n*gga VD and they didn't know what VD was back in the day. She was the first b*tch to ever burn a n*gga. Cleopatra. The real nubian queen. Not the fake one they try to draw on pictures but the one that look like me, my skin complexion and my facial features." ("Bad B*tches of History")
Snoop also got a bit animated by mentioning the iconic syrup bottle figure, Mrs. Butterworth.
"Billie Holiday," Snoop added. "She was a cold blooded singer, real seductive, voice was sultry and just sounded so good to hear her voice and see her body -- she's definitely a bad b*tch from back in the day. If she was here today, there wouldn't be any room for these female singers...Mrs. Butterworth. Mmm. Man. On the pancakes? She used to come to life on the bottle...Lucille Ball. 'I Love Lucy.' The queen of black and white TV...Marla Gibbs. She played on 'The Jeffersons' and she also sung the theme to '227.'" ("Bad B*tches of History")
Outside of women, Snoop recently came to terms for his own NBC television show.
Chances are pretty good that Snoop Dogg is firing up a celebratory hit on his, uh, water pipe right now. The "Doggystyle" rapper has sold a comedy project to NBC, which he will produce and star in, the network confirms to TheWrap. The as-yet-untitled project is described as a "multi-camera family comedy," with Don Reo -- whose credits include "Two and a Half Men," "Everybody Hates Chris," and "'Til Death" -- executive-producing and writing. Frequent Snoop collaborator Ted Chung is also producing. (Reuters)
Last month, the rapper-turned-actor made headlines for settling a substantial tax debt.
Rap superstar Snoop Dogg has settled an outstanding tax bill dating back to 2008. The "Drop It Like It's Hot" hitmaker, real name Calvin Broadus, Jr., was slapped with an invoice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) after failing to hand over $476,338. But the hip-hop icon is now in the clear - he paid the sum on Sept. 15. (Toronto Sun)
Check out Snoop Dogg's video below:

Jeff Mariotte: Explaining Presidential Material
Comic books aren't just for kids anymore.
Comic books aren't just for kids anymore.
Few modern day artists have had the impact of Art Spiegelman.
You'd think a creative project named Greatest Hits would be an musical album of some sort, wouldn't you? David Tischman knows better.
The emergence of Amy Hadley as a major artistic talent has been solidified with Madame Xanadu (Vertigo).
Danny Fingeroth has a remarkable resume of accomplishments.
They seek him here, they seek him there, those publishers seek him everywhere.
Beware the curse! Or is that, "What Was He Thinking?" Either way, Mike Leib is a writer to beware, one who has tackled the dark spots of our souls and the ticklish ones that appreciate outtakes.
Joshua Ortega is riding high.
With Conan the Barbarian #50, the wildly successful Conan comic series comes to an end.

Supporting Haiti, The D'Orazio (Or Weber, Or Sorrenti) Way-------
Repetition we can get behind: another day, another Haiti fundraiser. This latest push for relief comes by way of ROSE Charities and FOTORELIEF, which have partnered to organize A Picture Saves a Thousand Lives. The short of it: Round up a few of the best photographers in the world, many of them longtime fashion veterans; auction off 130 prints by the masters; send the cash to Haiti. Of course, with the likes of Patrick Demarchelier, Bruce Weber, Mario Sorrenti, Sante D'Orazio, and Greg Kadel involved, the bidding's bound to be fierce. "Everything's been donated, down to the frames. People have really come out for this," ROSE president (and former model) Noot Seear says of the impressive roster, curated by FOTORELIEF director John Gettings. "It's really the best of each photographer, pieces that represent them. We really wanted art pieces, things you want to hang on the wall." Given the participants and their penchant for stylish nudity, you may want to make that a high wall—nursery art this isn't. But with pieces like D'Orazio's (above, bids start at $750), grown-up glossy obsessives (or prurient bachelors) should find plenty to love.
A Picture Saves a Thousand Lives auction will be held tomorrow from 7 to 10 p.m. at Milk Gallery, 450 W. 15th Street, NYC. Suggested donation is $25. For more information, visit www.fotorelief.org.

Salvatore Accardo (born September 26, 1941) is an Italian violin virtuoso and conductor. He is highly regarded for his interpretations of Paganini, J. S. Bach, contemporary works, chamber music, and opera conducting. Accardo was born in northern Italy and studied violin in the southern Italian city of Naples in the 1950s. He gave his first professional recital at the age of 13 performing Paganini's Capricci. In 1956 Accardo won the Geneva Competition and in 1958 became the first prize winner of the Paganini Competition in Genoa.

The San Diego Chargers announced Sunday that one of the greatest players in franchise history, LaDainian Tomlinson, would re-sign with them only to retire, which they'll announce in a press conference Monday. This news, as you can imagine, has rippled through the Chargers' fanbase, despite being announced before 9 a.m. on a Sunday, Father's Day, no less.
SB Nation's Chargers blog, Bolts From The Blue, had this to say about the not-so-abrupt news:
Say what you will about the whole "sign a one-day contract for the team then immediately retire" stunt that some players and teams pull, this will make a lot of people happy. Since being drafted in the first round of the 2001 Draft, Tomlinson played nine of the best seasons of any Chargers Running Back, breaking and setting numerous records along the way. After two wayward seasons spent in New York, it'll make many Chargers fans happy to see him rejoin the team and retire as a member of the San Diego Chargers.
For more on Tomlinson's retirement, head to Bolts From the Blue, SB Nation's Chargers blog.

I would like to know if the PushRegistry is implemented for the btspp protocol. So can a N6630 waked up by an incoming bluetooth connection.
I would like to know if the PushRegistry is implemented for the btspp protocol. So can a N6630 waked up by an incoming bluetooth connection.
Did you find an answer to this - can we just register a socketort for push registry notification could we register the port that btspp uses
Nokia Series 60 Feature Pack 2: Yes; Nokia 6630, 6680, N70, N90, N91.
Well, but it does not work for me with my Nokia 6680 (Operator version E-Plus Germany with Firmware 2.04.15).
The UUID is registered via Push Registry dynamically in code. After quitting the MIDlet, my own Service Record is still visible. Another device looks up the UUID, connects and my MIDlet is started. Push Registry lists one incoming connection with input for my MIDlet. The String looks good. Great. But then I need to access this input. Pass this URI to Connector.open(…). Success but acceptAndOpen() hangs, because a new Service Record is created and it has a new RFCOMM channel. So the client is on another channel as my server listens. Interesting.
Any ideas or had someone success? Just a Works here would help already!
Tested from the MIDlet's Main thread, Nokia 6680's Event Dispatcher thread and of course as you should do from an own thread. Untrusted or trusted 3rd party domain: No change. A static Bluetooth server registration fails here, only dynamic works.
Please note that the user has to change the Bluetooth visibility herself via Nokia > Menu > Connectivity > Bluetooth > My phone's visibility > Shown to all. Even a trusted 3rd party domain MIDlet is not allowed to change visibility on a Nokia 6680. Just for those who go for a trusted MIDlet, paste the following to your MANIFEST.MF.All in one line with a limit of 72 characters per line (+space at beginning) as required. I go for optional permissions because I see no reason to require it. Just causes more problems although to require them works for the Nokia 6680. Make sure a (U)SIM is in the device otherwise the installation of a trusted MIDlet fails.Code:MIDlet-Permissions-Opt: javax.microedition.io.PushRegistry,javax.micro edition.io.Connector.bluetooth.server,javax.microedition.io.Connector .bluetooth.client

Hi Traud,
I'm testing this with the 6680 also, and I'm getting the exact same results as you. I'm a little disappointed because I got the 6680 for this particular reason - to get PushRegistry to work with Bluetooth.
- When the application launches and there is a connection registered in PushRegistry, a call to Connector.open with the same URL result in a new entry being added to the SDDB. From another device I can now observe two different entries in the SDDB with the same UUID, but with different channel numbers. When the application exits (and the notifier is cleaned up) there is only one entry in the SDDB. Now, if I connect to that one, the application will launch, but it is not possible to connect to the connection from inside the application, since the call to Connector.open does not recognize the URL and starts a new entry in the SDDB instead.
I can only conclude that the 6680 is broken. I hope this is not the case with newer Nokia devices.
For a decription on how the device should behave, take a look at "Series 60 Developer Platform 2.0" section 18.104.22.168.
Svein Willassen
Thanks for pointing me to this document. Very interesting but buggy and rather old (January of 2004). I found a newer one (October of 2005).
It does not say connections. Sounds like you can use Bluetooth Push only for starting, then the device with the Service Record proceeds as Bluetooth master/Service client and starts a connection itself and searches for a Bluetooth slave/Service server.Originally Posted by Series 60 Platform 2nd/3rd Edition: Differences In Features: Chapter 5.8.2
What do you mean with 3rd Edition here?
Developer Platform 3.0 or
Developer Platform 2.0 Feature Pack 3
As far as I know, 6680 is 2.0 FP2, whereas N70 for example is 2.0 FP3.
Nokia 6680 is 2nd Edition Feature Pack 2, N70 is 2nd Edition Feature Pack 3, N91 and the new E series is 3rd Edition.
Anyone with success?
Even tried with btspp://<bd_addr>:<channel id> and bd_addr set to the result of *#2820#. Same as before, in PushRegistry.registerConnection(…) silly new service records are created and in Connector.Open(…) I get Symbian OS error -6452.
Works as intended in 3rd Edition of Nokia Series 60. Tested with a Nokia 3250.
This beast even allows a lot of Bluetooth piconet/scatternet scenarios. At least all I tested, however, I did not test all. Nevertheless, although the device states it has no Master/Slave-Switch support, it has. This is like most (all) JSR-82 devices I found so far. Is there any device which does not support Master/Slave-Switch at all? More and more I doubt on that. My conclusion is never to trust the reported bluetooth.master.switch value.
The Push Registry support is great in (my) Nokia Series 60 3rd Edition:
Alarm, Bluetooth (RFCOMM, L2CAP, OBEX), Datagram, Socket, SMS, CBS, MMS and SIP. Only OBEX via TCP and via IrDA is missing. Well, the latter is not possible because my Nokia 3250 has no IrDA at all.
Question remains, when was this fixed? In 2nd Edition Feature Pack 3 or even in Feature Pack 2 through a firmware update?
That's great, looking forward to test it.
What kind of application are you developing by the way?
This works even after restarting the phone. However, sometimes the profile is missing. I have not been able to reproduce this, yet.
Anyway, service record editing does not work. I follow the rules of the above S60 document and the JSR-82 specification in version 1.1. On Nokia 3250 I get a new service record created which I can edit successfully. Has anyone got this working?
Hey guys. I'm just wondering what bluetooth url you use to register with push registry?
re: Sventy - I created a bluetooth server for a 6680 and it keeps returning the same btspp url . I dont know if this is good or bad as i'm still in the early stages.
Right now i've been able to consistently get the same bluetooth url returned via service-discovery of btspp://0015A04A2139:4;encrypt..
I'm just wondering to register with the push-registry.. what do you put? (Anyone?!):
like MIDlet Push-1: btspp://0015A04A2139, bt.BTMIDlet, * ?
or btspp://0015A04A2139:*
or btspp://localhost:* ???!? ?!?! i have no idea!!
Have a look at the Bluetooth API for Java (JSR-82) in version 1.1 …
It is the same string as with Connector.open(…) for registering a Bluetooth server. Additionally, I would gor for dynamic and not static Push Registry.
Hi Sventy - I have the EXACT same problem. I can start the other application via bluetooth, I register the connection dynamically too as traud said. It starts up but the connection doesn't happen. I can only imagine that the application launched gets a new URL instead of the previous one registered to the push-registry.
Therefore the connection isn't made even if the application is started up!
6680 is broken all =)

Would it be possible to open a Zimbra webmail attachment in Google Docs & Spreadsheets? That way, I would not need a local office suite installed.
Would it be possible to open a Zimbra webmail attachment in Google Docs & Spreadsheets? That way, I would not need a local office suite installed.
That would depend on how the client browser handles the extension of files.
For example, if you open a doc in IE (no reconfigurations), it will open right in the browser.
FF on the other hand will launch msword.
It all depends on whether or not you can get the browser to send the doc to google docs, then display it.
You'd probably want to extend the message view so that each .doc, .xls, etc attachment had an extra link to "open in google docs", which is eminently doable with a zimlet. The problem is getting the attachment content into Google Docs in a popup window; whether that's feasible would depend on the API that Google Docs supports.
On http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/overview.html they describe the Google Data API's. From what I read here, I think it should be doable. If I get a spare month (ha ha) I will mess around with it.
And what about pdf's? Is there any (web) service that allows you to send a pdf and get a png back, for display in Zimbra?
What I'm looking for is "the future", where you can do everything with only a browser (possibly a fat one, with ajax), without having anything else installed locally.
regards Bart.
> AFAIK, this is a Zimbra feature (see attachment as HTML).
I don't see that option when I click on or hover over a pdf attachment.
Where in Zimbra can I find that?
Are you using NE or OSS ?Optionally view attachments immediately as HTML instead of saving and opening in another application
I'm using OSS.Are you using NE or OSS ?
Hi eombah,
We're you able to make a zimlet for Google Apps?
I actually posted this thread before I saw this.. Google Apps as Zimbra Zimlets possible?
It will be very helpful if this can be done. The built-in spreadsheet function of Zimbra still doesn't have multi-user editing capabilities.

Tim Kennedy vs. Roger Gracie seemed like an odd fight at the outset; two good fighters from Strikeforce making their debut as new blood in the UFC's middleweight division. Pitting them against one another seemed to spoil some of that newness, rather than enhance it. The fight, eventually didn't disappoint, but it didn't do a lot for the two men either.
Gracie came out strong in the opening round, taking Kennedy down twice, establishing back control, and winning the battle of positional dominance. He looked good in the opening round, and victory seemed only a matter of time.
But the tenacity that Kennedy showed in avoiding subs ended up being the bigger story. In round two he continued to engage Gracie in the clinch, shucking off submission attempts to land his own strikes and controlling (if not exactly dominating) the standup.
The third round saw a fully gassed Roger Gracie fail to get any significant offense going, and Kennedy coasted out the fight by pecking away at Gracie on the feet. Tim Kennedy def. Roger Gracie via Unanimous Decision.
What was the high point?
The second round, when Kennedy really engaged Gracie on the ground and got a few licks in. That was a real high point for a fighter against one of the world's great Jiu Jitsu practitioners.
What was the low point?
Roger Gracie's limitations. They were on full display by the end of this fight. Kennedy is a good, but not great fighter and Roger proved that he doesn't have the tools to compete at that level. Could he develop them? Sure, but at the moment he's more feature attraction than fearsome fighter.
Where do they go from here?
Tim Kennedy showed up and made this fight his. It was a good win if he wants to establish himself in the top 15 of the division. I'd like to see him show his ability against an established UFC 185er at this point, so a fight between he and Alessio Sakara seems like it'd make for a fun contest.
For Roger Gracie this should have served as something of a wake up. He's got the size to physically dominate in this division, but if he can't keep his cardio going to grapple for a good 15 minutes he'll never be more than an interesting sideshow. Michael Kuiper or Stanislav Nedkov would provide good challenges to see if he can outperform lower tier middleweights.
Watch it now, later, or never?
Watch it later. Kid Nate may have gone all lovey on this fight, but watching two fatigued fighters paw their way through the third kind of spoiled the fun for me. If you simply have to see Gracie perform, or love Kennedy, give it a watch now. For everyone else it was a not bad, but mostly forgettable tussle.

Burtonwood Bulldogs Changing Rooms
Burtonwood Bulldogs are a small Junior Rugby League Club in Warrington. We are a family-club and welcome children of any age to join our growing numbers. This year, we have age groups of under 7s, 8s and 9s, as well as successful older established teams. Our downfall is the facilites for the children - 2 very small changing rooms. You can imagine match-day with some 80 people (from both sides) trying to get changed and showered. Our kids deserve better and we want the local MP and the council to help. We have tried for nearly 2 years just to get permission to improve the facilities, but to no avail. A small club would like to be heard - please sign our petition and help us help the young ones.

Neiman Marcus will not quit catalog bombing me. I keep getting passive aggressive notes from the mailman about emptying my mailbox more frequently. I check it ever other day. The thing is, based on my SES, Neiman's should know better than to target me. I purchased one thing from them in 2006. I tried to buy makeup, but had to borrow cash from my best friend because I'm such a backwoods peasant that I didn't even know that they don't accept Visa. Now I know that Visa is for poor people and that poor people are gross and should not be allowed in stores. Saleslady was not amused when apologized for my poverty.
Gerard Butler. WTF is going on? He's gross. I think I used to find him attractive, but now I just cringe at him. Didn't he used to be kind of hot and not such a disgusting person? Was I just blinded by the abs and the fact that portraying a beefy Spartan would make any man hot to some degree?
These do not taste as good as they appear to. I bought a bag of them thinking I would be healthy and eat turkey burgers instead of a big, thick, and juicy beef burgers. WRONG. I prepared them three different ways and could not even choke a bite down. Awful. Back to beef for me.
Apparently Matthew Crawley might not be returning for the next season of Downton Abbey. WTF is this world we are living in???? Duchess Kate has the pukes, Daryl's life is in peril, and no more cousin Matthew??? It's so unfair.
I'm already so annoyed by the holidays. I know, I'm awful. I'm really just super pissy because I was going to decorate this weekend in an attempt to get some damn Christmas cheer in my life (because candy canes and twinkly lights bring me unmitigated joy), but the boxes with my decorations are at the very bottom of a very full storage closet. I opened the door, located the impossibly buried red plastic bins, and slammed it while cursing loudly. Hope my neighbors weren't out enjoying a nice day on their porches. I feel like people only operate in two modes during the holidays. This:
Or this:
Everyone, just please calm down and relax. Besides, if the world does end, all the Christmas crazy was for nothing. Hanukkah craziness is merited. I really want to be happy and cheerful, but I just cannot make myself get jazzed about peppermint mochas and jingle bells. Maybe because it's 80 degrees or because I haven't seen any advertisements for the 12 Days of Whataburger. This could make for a very grim December.

IT Equipment Rack
Additional Photos
Installation DescriptionA drop ceiling installation using Polyline Translucent Ceiling Tiles.
Customer Testimonial
The owner and architect were very happy with the end product. We installed them in a APC Hot Aisle Containment Pod (IT equipment rack and air conditioning unit). The stock ceiling assembly required us to drop a fire sprinkler head into the pod (which the owner wanted to avoid if at all possible ~8M in IT equipment). By using the Ceilume tile we were able to utilize the APC framing and simply added a piece of T-bar down the middle. Our fire code consultants reviewed the Ceilume tiles with the City of Napa Fire Marshall and achieved approval for their use in our installation.

(42 items)
Silver tobacco box, embossed, gilt interior, loth ``13``, letter ``B`` for Prague 1837 (not to be confused with Linz after 1867).
The symbolism in embossed lid is very interesting.
Left side: chained Pegasus liberated, lyre, grape barrel?
Right: thermometer or slide rule, plane (tool), wand? laurel wreath, crown thrown to the snakes
Who is in the middle with laurel wreath?
Some reasonable clues:
A bust of Francis I (II), Austrian Emperor,died 1835.The box may honor the late emperor in a classical style, with laurel and items attributed to him. This was fairly common during Biedermeier.The items left and right are attributed to the emperor; symbols of Freemasonry? Francis I was a member. The censorship was rigid at the time. So, it was not expected to find any criticism on the Austrian Empire on an officially hallmarked item. All symbols had to be politically correct. Symbols from Freemasonry were accepted. The snake may represent Napoleon defeated by the Austrian Empire.
Subtle criticism, though, may be like this:
Pegasus represents the source of wisdom. Pegasus was ridden by Bellerophon, a Greek heron, who fought the Chimera. The Chimera is a mystical animal with snake tail.The Pegasus correlates Francis with Bellerophon. The Chimera (snake tail) is Napoleon. Napoleon surrendered 1815 to the British ship of the line ``Bellerophon". A coincidence? Bellerophon fell later from Pegasus and lost eyesight and became crippled. So a subtitle interpretation could be: Francis defeats the beast (Napoleon) with the help of the allies, later in his life he became a very conservative and repressive ruler, crippled and blind.
Revolutionary movements in the Habsburg Austrian Empire? Mounting social and political tensions after the Congress of Vienna of 1815. During the "pre-March" period, the already conservative Austrian Empire moved further away from ideas of the Age of Enlightenment, restricted freedom of the press, and limited many university activities, including banning fraternities.
Any clues are appreciated.

A young man from Spokane might be the biggest Notre Dame fan in the country. And he has a book signing under belt to prove it.
Jake Keyes, at just 10-years-old, knows more about Fighting Irish football than most. He took that knowledge and turned it into a 100-page book. The book, which took more than a year to write, details the history of Notre Dame football.
On Saturday he held a book signing at a bookstore in Indiana. He then attended the football game against Pitt with nearly 20 members of his family.
"There's a whole lot of energy," Jake said. "It gets really loud sometimes and I just get really excited in there. I hope they go undefeated this season and head to the national championship."

Bump Please try to review the following info when making a response: Environmental Assessment Letter 3.26.2012 Thanks to everyone for their support.
Morning Bump. Your input is appreciated.
Bump. This is IMPORTANT and time is almost up. I think that the Access Fund has made some great points with regards to the BLM not having done their homework on this one. Mainly that there are plenty of nesting sites in the region and human factors are not the only ones that can deter nesting raptors. Furthermore the golden eagle is not an endangered species it is listed as Least Concerned for example the Mule Deer is also a least concerned classification. I am not saying F the golden eagle but I am vehemently opposed to a 7 month blind closure by the BLM. IMO the BLM has made some pretty silly assertions with regards to climbing in the past. One shining example is the blaming of climbers for destruction of cryptobiotic soil at Indian Creek when they are allowing local ranchers to run cattle, DERP.
Final Day. Speak up.
Please comment and let the BLM know how important a place like trout is to climbers!
The email is email@example.com, and be sure to use "Trout Creek EA" in the subject line.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 2004 - $14,600
Bullex, launched at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, received Advanced E-Team grants in 2003, 2004 and 2005 to develop the Intelligent Training System (ITS), an innovative fire extinguisher training device. The majority of today's live-fire extinguisher training is done by taking a bucket and filling it with kerosene or diesel, and water. After an instructor lights the fire, a trainee is given an extinguisher and told to put it out. This method is expensive, can be dangerous, and often requires a HAZMAT cleanup.
ITS makes fire extinguisher training more efficient by simulating the extinguishing of a real fire, removing costly extinguishant from the equation. First, flames are generated in a clean-burning, propane-fed pan equipped with digital sensors. If users aim properly and hit the sensors, they can quell the fire without the mess. The sensors then give out a reading on how well a trainee used the extinguisher. The device is cleaner, safer, and easier to use than the traditional training method.
Bullex launched successfully in 2003, and now has 60 employees and estimated annual sales of $7.3 million. The company was featured in Fortune Small Business Magazine after making it to the final round of the magazine's national business plan competition, receiving honorable mention. Their customers include the US Navy, Northrop Grumman, Michelin, International Truck, and Trane.
