"To be opened in the event of my death." With one swift, vicious movement, she sliced the envelope open, and pulled out a handwritten letter. "Love you and the girls...so sorry to leave you with this...cannot bear...."
The Husband's Secret is a funny, heartbreaking novel of marriage, grief, love, and secrets. When her husband announces he's in love with her best friend, painfully shy Tess picks up her young son and returns to her mother's house. There she begins an unexpected affair with an old flame.
Rachel is a woman in her 60s consumed by grief and anger at the loss of her daughter 20 years earlier. When her son announces he is taking her beloved grandson overseas, Rachel begins a descent into deeper bitterness and pain.
Cecilia is the quintessential "I don't know how she does it" woman. A devoted mother to three daughters, she runs her household like clockwork, is President of the P&C, owns an extremely successful Tupperware business and is happy in her 15-year marriage. Until she discovers a letter in their attic labeled: "To my wife Cecilia, to be opened in the event of my death".
Her husband's secret is a bombshell beyond all imagining with repercussions across the lives of all three women.

"I Did Not Want it to End!"
I loved the character development. Their feelings and thoughts were realistic. I was engrossed and invested in their lives. I am excited to read other books by this author..
I like messing about in boats.
"Wonderful story telling"
The Husband's Secret is a wonderful balance of humour, tragedy, regret and consequences. The characters are all likable and the reader/listener is keen to find out what will become of their lives.
It would be a disservice to this great read to compare it to another novel.
I have not heard Caroline Lee perform before but I am certainly keen to hear her again. Her reading of this novel and her characterisations were faultless. She is superb.
It made me both laugh and cry. Any novel that can evoke emotion is well written and the characters in The Husband's Secret are all believable. Any of them could be one of my friends and I finished the book wanting only the best for each of them.
"Hauntingly beautiful, a story that lingers"
What if ?
The book follows 3 women, all of which you come to appreciate for different reasons
It's moving as it shatters pre-conceived ideas and sets one off on a "what-if" mind spin. Refreshing and emotionally challenging.
Elegantly written, worth reading. I'll be reading several more from this author.
I have a busy career, travel a lot and don't have much time to read, so I listen to Audio books. I love reading!
"Unexpected.. Good!"
This story started off a bit on the dreary side and then whipped into an unexpected turn.
Its written well wth crafty twists and turns that show how humans will do anything to survive, to keep their worlds in tact, to protect their marriages and children. Overall a good rating from me!
"Kind of glad I don't have kids after reading this"
Yes. I loved how the book shows that even the smallest action can have great consequences and that rash actions can change lives forever. It also made me wonder what I would do -- I don't have kids so my world is fairly black and white on certain subjects. This book showed me the greys.
Cecelia. Her responses and reactions were the most genuine out of the three women.
I could get a real sense of each woman's personality, I think. More so than if I had tried to imagine them when reading the book.
Well, there is that bit that makes you raise an eyebrow... and I was pretty sad in one of the key scenes.
Rachel started to annoy me fairly early and in the end I really disliked her. Tess too but not to the same extent. I think her story wasn't as credible as the other two and wondered why the author wanted her in the book.
I am a total audiobook addict! I travel quite a bit for work and listen to them while I drive. Always searching for a good author to follow
"loved it!"
Surprising, gripping & fantastic
I liked all of them for different reasons
No I haven't, she was very easy to listen to
I had a cover my mouth "oh my god" moment
"Great book - thoroughly enjoyed it"
In the top 25%
Tess was my favourite - I identified with her. It was nicely read.
The epilogue - the "what might have beens".
I thought the plot was very well thought out, and not too contrived. I really enjoyed it.
"Great story - really enjoyed it!"
Great characters
She really bought it to life for me
The reflections on how a life (Janey) may have been lived!
Although it was fairly obvious what the 'secret' of the title actually would be - the resulting story was certainly worth the listen!
"Amazing Book"
very thought provoking
cecila and tess.
loved Tess shyness but loved her determination to stand up for herself.
cecila because of her honesty and integrity
fantastic story telling excellent tone
the epilogue was amazing
"Makes you want to listen to the end"
It' starts with a series of dis-jointed characters that you wonder how they can be connected but the story knits together beautifully. The end is is materpiece in not prejudging conclusions, can' t recommend highly enough
Top 3 at least, well written and amazing performance! Her voice isn't robotic like a lot of other books I have listened to.
Couldn't possibly give any spoilers!
No, I could have though - life doesn't allow for 10 hours straight listening.
Just get it, so good!
"Audio quality is very poor"
I've just bought this audiobook and I am very disappointed with the quality of the audio.
It's a little bit of a shame because the narrator, Caroline Lee, is absolutely fantastic!
"a good listen"
7/10 - although I have only just joined I found this book intriguing and a good twist.
I loved them all
I liked them all - it was well read
Enjoyable and easy to keep up with.
"Not as gripping as I thought."
Not at good as the hype and build up to this book. I felt that the ending was a bit predictable and flat.
Narrator was very good and I enjoyed listening to her voice on my way to and from work.
"A bit too much going on"
I got this as it was recommended on New York best seller list. I think the narrative by Caroline Lee was especially good. I find her voice soothing and interesting.
I enjoyed the story and felt the epilogue at the end finished it all off nicely. However I found the lives of the main female characters Tess, Rachel, Cecilia had so much going on that three separate novels could have been written for them. It was a bit confusing at times who was doing what and who fitted where. The story did plod along at times and felt certain characters who really had no bearing on the story could have been left out. I would recommend the book and would consider reading another by same author.
"Really good!"
This was a really good listen! I couldn't put it down. Not your typical story. I found the humour and observations of human behaviour wonderful. The story speeds along and it kept me I curious about what was going to happen next. The narration was very good and suited the book. Overall a very good listen which I would recommend.

Corbett administration urging districts to be creative, flexible
By Eric Boehm | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — As costs grow and tax increases become less palatable, Pennsylvania school districts could be targeting young consumers with ads in school buses to make money.
"It's just another creative way that we've been trying to do things," said Michael Braun, business manager for Upper Moreland School District in Montgomery County. "Advertising is all over the place, so why not take advantage of that to keep programs that take kids to the next level?"
The cash generated does not amount to a windfall, but every little bit can help at a time when state and local funding is decreasing. Upper Moreland School District, for example, expects to generate about $25,000 annually from ads in its fleet of 50 school buses and vans.
State law prohibits districts from selling ad space on the exterior of school buses, as seen on mass transit buses and commuter trains.
The Upper Moreland School Board approved the idea, and The Factory Advertising, a small firm in Lehigh County, will sell the ad space and make the signs. The district will keep 75 percent of the ad revenue, and Braun said the program should be ready to roll when the school bell rings in September.
A similar agreement with the same company was struck at Parkland School District, where 46 buses will have advertising as a trial run that could generate about $150,000.
At Parkland, a group of school administrators, teachers and parents will review each proposed advertisement to determine if it meets guidelines written by the school board. Bus advertising must focus on health, safety, wellness, recreation and educational opportunities, according to a statement from the district.
At Upper Moreland, the district superintendent will have the final say on ads.
Ads in buses could be a direct reaction to a change in state education funding policy. In the past, the state distributed to the districts a specific subsidy that covered busing. This year, Gov. Tom Corbett proposed rolling that line item — along with the basic education subsidy and payments for retired teachers — into a single budget line, to be called the Student Achievement Block Grant.
The block grants, Corbett explained in his February budget address, would allow districts to spend that money as they see fit. If districts can generate enough revenue from advertising to pay for busing, they can free up some of those state dollars for other purposes.
But Braun said the district still stands to lose under Corbett's proposal. Under the proposed state budget, the district would receive about $31,000 less than last year for transportation purposes, he said.
According to the state Department of Education, Upper Moreland would get a $62,000 increase in state funding through the new block grant.
A different calculation, by the Pennsylvania State Education Association, or PSEA, the state's largest teachers' union, estimates the district would lose $55,000 in the new proposed budget.
Either way, new revenue will be helpful to the districts' bottom lines.
Such ads do not require oversight or approval from the state, said Jan McKnight, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.
"The law is silent on advertising inside of school buses; however, they are inspected internally to make sure that all safety measures are being adhered to," McKnight said.
The Pennsylvania State Police conduct those inspections annually, and any advertising cannot block emergency exits or fire extinguishers, she said.
While other states have turned their school buses into rolling billboards, Pennsylvania does not allow it. The transportation code says buses must be "of a uniform color scheme" and may not include exterior markings "other than those specifically required or permitted by law or regulation shall be prohibited."
Colorado was the first to allow districts to sell ad space on buses in 1993; the practice is legal Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
Even if it was legal to advertise on the outside of buses here, Braun said he would not pursue it.
"To advertise on the outside of the buses could be distracting for other drivers," he said. "It could be distracting to others and create an accident."
Selina Pittenger, executive director of the Pennsylvania School Bus Association, which represents school bus companies and encourages safety in school transportation, said the organization does not oppose interior advertising, but opposes exterior advertising.
"We like that school buses are big, yellow and easily recognizable," she said.
School boards in Bethlehem School District in Northampton County and Stroudsburg School District in Monroe County also have recently considered allowing advertising inside buses, according to local media reports.

Followers, or rather connoisseurs, of the openly gay Paul Foot will be familiar with the OCD like attention to detail on which his routines are based. 'Still Life' takes it to a whole new level – it seems to take an age for his back stage introductory announcement to conclude… even longer for him to talk us through what would happen when the show finally began. Everything had to be just right and there were many false starts. This is all, of course, part of the fun.
More and more people have cottoned on to the humour of Foot. Those pockets of the audience that didn't 'get it' in previous years, were nowhere to be seen tonight. There's a Pythonesque quality to his material – in that on paper, it really shouldn't work. I doubt whether anyone but Paul understand why it does.
Satisfyingly, we've seen a glimpse of how his humour might work on television. His appearance on Buzzcocks, alongside his friend, Noel Fielding, has proven that his act can translate to the small screen with relative ease. He also proved that he can improvise. That skill was tested successfully tonight when a sketch involving the audience and a stuffed animal, could have gone horribly wrong.
If the execs at the BBC are reading this – give Paul Foot his own show.

The Raiders have cut their 8th overall pick from a few years ago and he is still really young. The Bucs are looking to build a young group of Linebackers. He still has alot of potential and wasn't that bad in Oakland, but then again, it is Oakland. Imagine McClain,David,and Foster as our main linebackers this season. Sounds better then any other linebackers we currently have.
If Tampa Bay can get McClain cheap would you want him as a Buccaneer?

Ashleigh and Pudsey win Britain's Got Talent 2012
The 17-year-old and her talented four-legged friend beat favourites Jonathan and Charlotte to be crowned winners of the ITV reality show.
They charmed viewers with their fast-footed routine to the Mission Impossible theme.
Overcome with emotion at the win, she said:
I just want to say thank you to everyone that voted for me, and I'm just so proud of Pudsey
The teenager trained her pet to jump, dance on his hind legs, meander through her legs and even got him to run across the judges table.
Pudsey - a border collie, bichon frise and Chinese crested cross - won over judge Simon Cowell, who admitted he has a soft spot for dogs.
– Simon Cowell
I adore both of you. You you have got better and better as the competition has progressed and to do what you did in such a short time is a miracle
The well-known dog-lover also posted a picture on Twitter shortly after Ashleigh and Pudsey's victory of the himself with the winning duo.
The powerful pop-opera duo and the bookie's favourite Jonathan and Charlotte took second place with what David Wallaims described as 'their best performance yet." He continued, "it was so heartfelt, it was so professional."
The duo had considered a split and go it alone before the competition. But Charlotte said:
– Charlotte Jaconelli from the pop-opera duo
We had a conversation before and we were kind of like 'If they ask one of us to leave the duo how would we deal with it?
If they give you the choice and it is your actual choice, then OK, then stay together, but if it's kind of on your own or nothing then go, because why would you miss an opportunity like that?
Welsh boys choir Only Boys Aloud came in third place after their rendition of Calon Lan.
The 133-strong choir consistently wowed the judges throughout the contest with their renditions of traditional anthems.
Judge Alesha Dixon, who was sporting a see through floor length gown over a shimmering leotard, told boys, aged between 14 to 19, that they gave a passionate performance.
– Alesha Dixon
That was a really special moment. I could feel the passion coming from every single one of you.
This year viewers have seen a softer side to Simon Cowell and fellow judge Amanda Holden said we have finally seen "the real Simon Cowell." She said the presence of Little Britain star David Walliams on the judging panel had brought out a different side of the show's supremo.
And David Walliams' special performance with the sequinned group, the Show Bears was certainly one of the show's highlights.
Ashleigh joked that Pudsey had become "very diva-ish" during the last week, demanding steak dinners.
The pair won £500,000 and will perform their routine at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen.
Last minute bets on the Britain's Got Talent final saw punters go potty for Pudsey and 17-year old owner, Ashleigh.
– William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams
Jonathan & Charlotte were the long time favourites but there was a real run for Ashleigh & Pudsey on Saturday and we are paying out a considerable sum to the British dog loving public!
Bets are now on for Pudsey to appear in the next Mission Impossible film with odds at William Hill of 25/1 and it is 2/1 that Pudsey has his own show on Children's TV before the end of 2012.
Watch all the performances and relive the show here

County warns residents to stay away from bats
– From San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency
With Halloween around the corner, fake bats are likely to be present at people's homes. However, if you come across a real bat at home or any other place, health officials urge you to stay away from it.
Bats, as well as skunks, raccoons, and other wild animals can carry rabies, and touching them—even when dead—can expose you to the deadly disease.
"If you see a bat, dead or alive, don't touch it," said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., county public health officer. "Bats may be carriers of rabies, a disease that can be fatal in humans."
The small teeth of a bat can make a bite difficult to find. Rabies transmission may also occur if a bat's saliva comes in contact with a person's open wounds or mucous membranes such as the eyes, nose or mouth.
From 2007 through August 2012, the County Public Health Lab tested 312 bats for rabies. Fifty-two or 16 percent were positive for the disease. Additionally, one skunk and one fox also tested positive for rabies.
Bats are most often seen by people during the summer months when young bats leave the roost, insects are abundant, and people leave windows open at night to counter the heat. If you find a bat inside your home or on the ground on your property, contact the local animal control agency or humane society that provides animal control services in your area. They will catch the creature and have it submitted for rabies testing.
If direct contact with a bat does occur, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and get medical advice immediately.
Rabies in humans is almost always fatal. The disease can be prevented by avoiding contact with wild, stray, and unknown domestic animals; ensuring pets are up-to-date on rabies vaccinations; and receiving prompt medical advice following animal bites and other significant exposures to potentially rabid animals. All three County animal shelters have rabies vaccination clinics for dogs 4-months of age and older for $6.00 every Thursday from 1-3 p.m. Visit www.sddac.com for shelter locations.

Marin Cilic: Home success for Croatian
Croatian Marin Cilic notched his third home success by overpowering Jurgen Melzer of Austria in the final of the Zagreb Open.
The top seed, who won the indoor tournament in both 2009 and 2010, brushed aside the fourth seed 6-3 6-1 in just 67 minutes.
The world No 12 now has nine ATP Tour titles in his career collection, while Melzer was suffering his eighth defeat in 12 finals.
Cilic converted four out of 12 break points and broke early in the match for a 2-0 lead, and again to lead 5-3 in the first set.
Melzer won just one more game after that and was totally outclassed as Cilic fired down 33 winners in total.
"This final is probably the best match I have played this season," Cilic said. "This was an almost brilliant match on my part. It was tough to break Melzer in the first set, but after I did it the path to victory was open."
Melzer said: "Cilic was much better today and deserved to win in front of his own crowd."

Today is All Saints Day and remembering my mom's birthday, Mildred Barnhouse Dye 1916-2008.
The New Mat Red Hats were invited by Dorothy Hendricks to visit and hold the October meeting at her new place of residence in Devola. Arriving for the evening of fun, Dorothy and Vivian Dye met us properly attired for October. A purple vision, a cat that glowed in the dark greeted three witches, devil, kitty kat, food demonstrator, decorated vest, dust cap lady, green wig leprechaun. Hand crocheted doilies were placed by each setting and two more were given for the door prize. Other games were drop the closepen in the bottle, word search of Halloween, guess number of candy in jar, favorite number and looking at bottom of plate hoping not to find a sticker. Halloween decorations were abundant. The fun time girls attending were Martha Lindsley, Sue Altizer, Patti Cline, Marilyn Tilton, Dianna Evans, Debbie Swallow, Maybell Browne, Nancy Petty, Norma Jean Antill.
Plans are to invite our Midway Victorian Rose Red Hat friends to our Nov. 8 Civil War Tea Party at the New Matamoras Senior Center.

Multi Planner with 3 World Time Displays
A cute little and light quartz watch
The most remarkable feature about this watch are the three simultaneous World Time Zone displays above the larger display segment. One little problem: you have to remember what world times you selected in those little windows. But you can easily switch between the 4 displays and then see, what was selected. I normally ordered the 3 world time zones according to their difference from UTC, top left would normally be NYC, then BKK in the middle and TYO right most.
Please forgive me, but I like the looks of that watch. Even the watch is very small. It is the perfect watch to wear, if you do not really feel to wear a watch, because it is also incredibly light weight: ca. 42 grams on the original blue leather strap. The watch is only about 35 mm wide, and also in a flat case. It wears like "nothing" thus in the year 2006, slightly out of trend ROTF!

I know I posted in forever, but this is something I thought was pretty appropriate for the time. I wish everyone a Happy New Year! 新年快樂!事事如意!工作進步!學業進步!
Very Short Update
Hi everyone, as you obviously can tell, I haven't updated this website in a quite long time. Aside from the Cantonese project that I have been trying to start up and get to work (my apologies for those who I have stated I wish to collaborate with and I have not been able to contact much with), I also have been having many personal matters that must be taken care of first. As a result… well it's quite obvious that nothing's been getting done right? I do appreciate whatever support I have been getting and I hope to get back onto this as soon as possible.
Until then, 下次再見!
P.S. No, I'm not leaving, I'll work on things soon =/ bear with me in the meantime my friends!
You want me to walk? Or did you want me to run?
I cannot say I am 100% fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese (in fact, I can't say I'm 100% fluent in English either, I have no way to gauge where my fluency is), but I can vouch that I am pretty well adept at all three languages to a certain degree. I find it often that I would want to help people native to one of those three languages learn another one since I have the ability to, why not? (Maybe I should start charging… but who's to say I have the qualifications to do that? I'm just being a good Samaritan, a cultural ambassador to an extent, and an interpreter to a degree). There were a couple of friends I had from Mainland China who were not Cantonese. One of them however did know Cantonese to a small certain degree. Now, naturally their native language was definitely not English and Mandarin was their native (or one of) their native languages. In teaching them some bits and pieces of English, I learned several things about Cantonese and Mandarin that I didn't know before, aside from the obvious fact that my Mandarin needs improvement, here's what I learned. Hopefully this comes in hands for you guys reading out there. Oh and yes, this serves as a Cantonese lesson too! Continue reading
Regional differences in Cantonese vocabulary
Pop or soda? Trash can or rubbish bin? Lexical differences in the names of daily objects exist in regional varieties of Cantonese, just like in English.
Most regional differences develop from tradition. Guangdong Cantonese uses vocabulary that most closely resembles Mandarin, while Hong Kong Cantonese uses another set of terms. Here are some examples:
Air-conditioning 空調 (hung1 tiu4) = 冷氣 (laang3 hei3)
Refrigerator 冰箱 (bing1 seung1) = 雪櫃 (syut3 gwai6)
Paper-clip 回形針 (wui4 ying4 jam1) = 萬字夾 (maan6 ji6 gaap3)
Drinking straw 吸管 (kap1 gun2) = 飲筒 (yam2 tung2)
Furthermore, English spoken during the British colonial years greatly influenced the language used by Hong Kong people. Many Hong Kong Cantonese terms are loan words from English, without any particular meaning when broken down word by word.
Bus 公交車 (gung1 gaau1 che1) = 巴士 (ba1 si2)
Taxi 出租車 (cheut1 jou1 che1) = 的士 (dik1 si2)
Strawberry 草莓 (chou2 mui4) = 士多啤梨 (si6 do1 be1 lei2) Continue reading
Something Just for Fun – A Rant
I'm sure you all have read the previous post where I discussed a small Cantonese lesson with some irony in it. Well, that's not the only thing that gets to my head between Cantonese and Mandarin! First of all you have to remember that I come from a Cantonese background without any influence of Mandarin. Let me introduce to you two Chinese characters:
樽/罇 (C: jeun1, M: zun1) Yes I realize there are two variants of this character, I will stick to just the first one because it comes up first when I'm typing and I'm pretty lazy.
瓶 (C: ping4, M: ping1)
If you guys know what these characters mean, then I want to you first forget all about it and just listen to me for now (just temporarily, no brainwashing involved). Think back to pre-1900s, there were no such things as plastic bottles. 'Bottles' as we know them today were not always the same. The world for bottle referred to "a rigid container with a neck that is narrower than the body and a 'mouth'".
Now, fast forward into the future, the world now has these entities know as "bottles" that you see which are typically your plastic bottles! China, catching up to the modern world at the time, imports this entity… what do you call it?! Cantonese: Let's call it a 樽! 樽s were jars, goblets, used to hold liquids and drinking, and other things iconic of a bottle! Mandarin: Let's call it a 瓶子! 瓶s were pitchers, vases, jugs, and other things iconic of a bottle!
Wait… Mak what's the issue here? Let's give you a hypothetical that essentially happened.
Person: Hey bring that 瓶子 of water.
Me: What? A VASE of water? You mean the BOTTLE? aka 樽?!
*insert 20 minutes of "why is this happening" Continue reading
Something Just for Laughs
I didn't think this would be funny but it's something I found interesting. I was watching a Hong Kong drama and we all know that in each of these dramas, the subtitles were in Standard Chinese rather than Standard Cantonese (they also come in English now!). Well, it's not surprising that the subtitles translate the dialogue from Cantonese to Mandarin. Fair enough right? So there was this one scene that a police offer stops a driver and tells him to step out of the car. She said (in Cantonese).
即刻落車 (C: jik1 haak1 lok6 che1)
Where 即刻 (C: jik1 haak1) means immediately, 落 (C: lok6) means "to go down, or come down", and 車 (C: che1) means car. Now Mandarin doesn't use these characters, they use 馬上 (M: ma3 shang4) for immediately and 下 (M: xia4) for "to go down, or come down". Therefore your translation which came out in the subs became this.
馬上下車 (M: ma3 shang4 xia4 che1)
Wait, wait, wait, who out there knows Mandarin? 馬上 also literally means "on a horse" because "being on a horse" means "immediately". So basically you just said "on the horse, off the car!" and that translates to "step out of the car immediately". Wow, I found that ironic. I think it'd be funnier if the police officer told the guy to get off of a horse, then it'd be:
馬上下馬 (M: ma3 shang4 xia4 ma3)
Currently I'm working on a large Cantonese project with some supporters, I need all the help and brainpower I need. Hopefully this comes to fruition. In the meantime, here was your minor Cantonese lesson! Continue reading
Cantonese Rage
Not mine but I definitely can relate. As a side question, who doesn't think that tones are the most difficult part of learning a Chinese language? That's perhaps one of many misconceptions I'd like to dispel about Cantonese. Also, this opens up discussion about the utility of Cantonese, especially for foreigners. Some would say it's better to stick to English, and keep your knowledge of Cantonese to that of understanding when they talk abou you! Some would say Chinese girls don't find it as foreign-exotic if you're too good at Chinese. Experience, thoughts, complaints?
Cantonese Poetry – 落雨大,水浸街
Thanks to my good friend Jeff from Jeffinous Tang Poetry I have this following CANTONESE poem. Yes you heard it right, it's a Cantonese poem; in fact this is one of those songs you would sing as a little kid in Cantonese. I'd say it's similar to how you would recite things such as "I'm a little teapot, short and stout" or "Rain rain go away" or "Ring around the rosie". This poem, or nursery rhyme if you want to call it that, is singing about what happens when it rains. So picture looking outside your window right now with the rain and try to embody this poem. You'd do the same with an English or Mandarin poem wouldn't you? Without further ado, here is the poem that I personally translated and romanized in Yale for you guys.
lok6 yu5 daai6, seui2 jam3 gaai1
It's raining hard, the streets are flooded
a3 go1 daam1 chaai4 seung5 gaai1 maai6

Qingming Festival Along With Useful Terms
This article will be written a bit earlier than the intended day, but it will serve the same purpose of informing you.
One of the main festivals in Chinese Culture which encompasses Cantonese culture as well is the Qingming Festival (Ching1 Ming4 Jit3 清明節). For those of you who don't know, this is a Traditional Chinese holiday centered around those of one's ancestors. According to the Traditional Chinese Lunar Calendar where a couple of other holidays are judged similarly. Every year this holiday is determined by the 15th day from the Spring Equinox. This year it takes place on April 5th, which happens to next Tuesday. Continue reading
I remember one of the reasons I wanted to learn French was that it sounds so good when you argue! I found this intense duet by Edmond Leung and Miriam Yeung that gives Cantonese learners all the ammunition needed to argue with your SO.

Plank pose is well-known for its challenge to the core and stabilizing muscles. One of the great benefits of developing these muscles is that they support rest of the body. Plank will benefit you most, and keep stress out of your neck and back, if you build up to doing the full version by securing the stabilizer muscles first.
In this prep exercise for plank, you will get a good sense of how to engage your core and stabilize your shoulders to support the pose.
- Begin on your knees and walk your hands out on the floor, allowing your legs to stretch out behind you. Place your forearms, parallel to each other, on the floor. Many people find that making a fist with the hands is helpful. Your shoulders should be directly over your elbows.
- Lift your belly up away from the floor as you extend your spine so that it's very long. It is important that you keep pressure out of you lower back by pulling up the lower abs.
- Anchor your pubic bone to the floor, and allow your tailbone to move down toward the floor as well. This move will create more length in spine and protect your lower back.
- Keep your shoulder blades and collarbone broad, and make sure that your shoulders are away from your ears.
- Your neck is a long extension of your spine, so your head is not dropped or tilted up.
- Breathe fully as you hold the pose for 30 seconds.
All you need is an exercise mat.

HP Autonomy, previously Autonomy Corporation, is a multinational enterprise software company founded in Cambridge, United Kingdom in 1996.
The company used a combination of technologies born out of research at the University of Cambridge. It developed a variety of enterprise search and knowledge management applications using adaptive pattern recognition techniques centered on Bayesian inference in conjunction with traditional methods.
Autonomy was acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP) in October 2011. The following year, HP wrote off $8.8 billion of Autonomy's value, claiming "accounting improprieties, misrepresentations and disclosure failures".
Following the hiring of Robert Youngjohns as senior vice president and general manager in September 2012, the company works towards a turnaround. Under new leadership, HP Autonomy aims to grow its information management and analytics software business. Though the company is integrating into HP Software, Autonomy remains a singular operational business.[1]
Inception and expansion: 1996–2011[edit]
Autonomy was founded in Cambridge, England by Dr. Michael Lynch, David Tabizel and Richard Gaunt in 1996 as a spin-off from Cambridge Neurodynamics, a firm specializing in computer-based finger print recognition.[2][3]
Autonomy floated in 1998 on the NASDAQ exchange at a share price of approximately £0.30. At the height of the "dot com bubble", the peak share price was £30.[4]
December 2005: Autonomy acquired Verity, Inc., one of its main competitors, for approximately US$500 million.[5] In 2005 Autonomy also acquired Neurodynamics.[6]
May 2007: After exercising an option to buy a stake in technology start up Blinkx Inc, and combining it with its consumer division, Autonomy floated Blinkx on a valuation of $250 million.[7]
July 2007: Autonomy acquired Zantaz, an email archiving and litigation support company, for $375 million.[8]
October 2007: Autonomy acquired Meridio Holdings Ltd, a UK company based in Northern Ireland that specialised in Records Management software, for £20 million.[9]
28 May 2008: Kainos extended its partnership with Autonomy for high-end information processing and Information Risk Management (IRM) to deliver information governance solutions to its customer base.[10]
January 2009: Autonomy acquired Interwoven, a niche provider of enterprise content management software, for $775 million.[11] Interwoven became Autonomy Interwoven and Autonomy iManage.
In 2009 Paul Morland, a leading analyst, started raising concerns about Autonomy's exaggerated performance claims.[12][13]
June 2010: Autonomy announced that it was to acquire the Information Governance business of CA Technologies. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.[14]
5 May 2011: The Mercedes Formula One team announced an $8 million sponsorship deal with Autonomy, and on 8 July 2010 Tottenham Hotspur FC announced a two year sponsorship deal with Autonomy for their Premier League kit.[15][16] For the 2011–12 season Spurs' Premier League shirt featured Autonomy's Augmented Reality technology Aurasma.[17]
16 May 2011: Autonomy acquired Iron Mountain Digital, a pioneer in E-discovery and online backup solutions provider, for $380 million from Iron Mountain Incorporated.[18]
As a Hewlett Packard business: 2011 – Present[edit]
18 August 2011: Hewlett Packard announced that it would purchase Autonomy for US$42.11 per share, around $10.2 billion. The transaction was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both HP and Autonomy and the Autonomy board recommended that its shareholders accept the offer.[19] On 3 October 2011 HP closed the deal with over 87% of Autonomy shares acquired.[20]
May 2012: Mike Lynch left his role as Autonomy CEO after a significant drop in revenue in the previous quarter.[21]
September 2012: Robert Youngjohns was appointed SVP & GM of Autonomy/Information Management Business Unit.[1]
November 2012: Hewlett-Packard announced that it was taking an $8.8 billion accounting charge after claiming "serious accounting improprieties" and "outright misrepresentations" at Autonomy.[22][23] However, Mike Lynch counter-alleged that the problems were due to HP's running of Autonomy,[24] citing "internecine warfare" within the organization.[25] The FBI launched an investigation, followed by the Serious Fraud Office, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequently three lawsuits were initiated by HP shareholders against the company.[26]
November 2013: the HP Exstream customer communication management (CCM) business, formerly part of the HP LaserJet and Enterprise Solutions (LES) business, joined the HP Autonomy organization.[27]
30 January 2014: the company announced that one of its partners, Kainos, integrated HP IDOL 10.5, the new version of HP Autonomy's information analytics engine, into Kainos's electronic medical record platform, Evolve.[28]
Offerings and Solutions[edit]
HP Autonomy products include Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), which allows for search and processing of text taken from both structured data and unstructured human information -- including e-mail and mobile data -- whether it originates in a database, audio, video, text files or streams.[29] The processing of such information by IDOL is referred to by Autonomy as Meaning-Based Computing.[30]

HAVEn Big Data Platform[edit]
In June 2013, HP announced the HAVEn platform for analyzing and finding meaning from big data - petabytes of structured and unstructured information. HAVEn also aims to identify information that is not needed and can be placed in low cost storage or even dumped.[33]
Components of the platform include:
- Hadoop: All leading Hadoop distributions are supported by HP's open strategy
- Autonomy: HP IDOL allows seamless access to 100% of enterprise data - human- or machine-generated.
- Vertica: A scalable database platform that is custom-built for real-time analytics on large datasets.
- ArcSight: Provides real-time collection and analysis of logs and enterprise security events from an array of devices and data sources, leveraging Big Data to bridge operational intelligence and security intelligence.
- Operations Management: HP is the world's leading software vendor for operations management.[34]
In January 2014, HP released a new version of HP IDOL that strengthens integration with several key components of the HAVEn platform by expanding upon IDOL's analytics, reliability and ease of use.[35] CMSWire reported that the new release has "a lot under the hood here that will catapult IDOL firmly into the center of the big data fray."[36]
The HP Autonomy business has primary offices in Cambridge, UK, and Sunnyvale, USA, as well as other major offices in the US, the UK, Canada, France, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Germany, and smaller offices in India and throughout Europe and Latin America.
Business leadership[edit]

- Rafiq Mohammadi, GM Marketing Optimization
- Mike Sullivan, GM eDiscovery & Information Archiving
- Neil Araujo, GM Enterprise Content Management
- David Jones, GM Data Protection
- Mike Salfity, GM Customer Communication Management
Many of Autonomy's senior executives left after the acquisition by Hewlett-Packard, "amid accusations that HP is too bureaucratic, and counterclaims that Lynch and his team failed to deliver on revenue targets".[38] Months after Lynch's departure, Robert Youngjohns was appointed Senior Vice President and General Manager of HP Autonomy in September of 2012.[39]

Butternut Squash Hummus with Basil
A new take on tahini-based hummus, this butternut squash and garbanzo dip borrows the golden warmth of the season's harvest to create a smooth and creamy topping for pita bread, pita chips, and more. The Greek Basil adds just the right amount of fresh herbal flavor.
The Classic Mint Julep (sugar cube version)
The mint julep is a classic cocktail often associated with the American south, but enjoyed far and wide! This no fuss julep recipe ditches the mint syrup and uses sugar cubes and fresh mint leaves for julep that's ready fast and tastes like summer.

By Michelle Zehr, a contributing writer with Gold Star Games, your tailgating games company.
This off-season the Steelers continue to make cuts, clean house and purge their roster. Multiple sources –first reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - indicate that guard Chris Kemoeatu and defensive end Aaron Smith have been cut from the team.
A seven year-veteran of the Steelers, Kemoeatu stated eight games for the Steelers last season, which was his lowest number of starts since the 2007 season. NFL.com indicates that Aaron Smith, a productive defensive end frequently used in the team's 3-4 scheme has also been cut.
This news comes shortly after the release of 14-year Steeler veteran, four-time Pro-Bowlers and Super Bowl MVP, Hines Ward had been released.
Ward, Smith and Kemoeatu are not the only causalities of the Steelers' salary cap this offseason. The Steelers have also released wide receiver Arnaz Battle and cornerback Bryant McFadden. James Farrior also found himself on the casualty list after his agent expressed concerns that he was next.
Without a doubt, the Steelers have had a busy offseason. The offseason has been jammed-packed with movies to get the team under salary cap. The new year for the National Football League begins on March 13th. However, not everyone is getting the boot. So far, the Steelers have restructured contracts for Ben Roethlisberger, Lawrence Timmons, LaMarr Woodley and Willie Colon.
With March 13th quickly approaching, chances is are this is not the last we will hear of cuts and contract restructuring within the next couple of weeks.
But, are these cuts a good thing? For those of us, who have essentially grown up watching Hines Ward, Farrior and many other players, we may think: can Steeler football really go on without these guys? For those of us who purchased a shiny, new jersey last season of a guy that is no longer with the team, we may be flat out frustrated.
If you are at all like me, you always manage to purchase the wrong jersey. I bought a Willie Parker jersey years ago, only for him to hurt his toe within days of my purchase. Who would have thought a toe would leave me with a jersey that I no longer wanted to wear?
Despite being upset, for most over the lose of Hines Ward, we can look at it this way. Many of these guys are getting older and less productive. Perhaps, it is time to get some younger, more productive faces in there even though it may seen a little strange for awhile.

If Cricket is to be played at the Olympics, what should be the format for the game? T20 or 50-50?
Cricket is still not a GLOBAL game! But it's growing for sure. If cricket was to become a part of the Olympics, which I feel it must be; then a question or challenge in our hands is the right format for it!
I think T20 can be a good option and include the game at the Olympics, however would love to read further comments and views.
Aug 16 2012: I think the fifty over game would be the way to go. T20 has the problem that its brevity makes the outcome too dependant in the first 10 overs of the first innings. It would be hard to take as a player if after four years of preperation your tournament is ended by the loss of a couple of quick wickets. T20 would definitely be better from a crowd perspective but I think you would struggle to get the best players. You can already see the effect in the IPL as players are chosen by their ability to draw a crowd so some of the best players don't bother.
Aug 16 2012: Peter Jee, 50 over match will be too long in the present context, as it will take whole day to get result. The youth will not wait that long. I think it should be 25 or 30 overs.To get the the real charm of one day and T20 matches. I have proposed the3 over for fast bowlers and normal six overs for slow bowlers to prevent fatigue & injuries of fast bowlers and add variety to the game. By doing this we will be having quality fast bowling and create longevity of fast bowlers.
Aug 16 2012: Peter, thanks for your reply! Yes, in most of the games, it is the early part of the game that matters! But on the contrary isn't it the same for a lot of other sports. I was watching a wrestling match the other day and was amazed to know that there are 3 bouts of 2 minutes only and the 1st bout is most important to win isn't it?
Aug 15 2012: This will be great for sports in India and Olympics, if it is included in Olympics & other International tournaments.
I am for T-25. The balls per over be reduced to 3 balls per over to give enough time to bowlers especially the fast bowler to bowl with full thrust. Now this is skewed in favour of batsman. Five more overs will give a chance to batsman down under the chance to score. Further 5 more overs will means extra 5 overs for slog in the end overs.At least three runs be given for if the catch is near the boundary line. the boundary should be colored with two different bright colors. The width of boundary line be of 6+6=12 inches. Lastly it should be played in indoor stadium so that the game can be played anytime even during rainy season.

The UFC, Pride, Strikeforce, Invicta, Bellator, OneFC, Bamma, CWFC, WSOF. Each a facade, a thick veil placed over a cage in order to gain as many viewers as possible for the callow sport of Mixed Martial Arts. Each with their own triumphs, flaws, support, opposition, characters and history. All have contributed to the sport. All in positive and negative ways. Some have risen to the top of the pool while others have fallen victim to an alpha predator. A company lead by businessmen with the timing and efficiency of merciless sharks.
Of the companies remaining who may lay claim to the largest portions of the market share pie, just one seems still to be experiencing teething problems unbecoming of a promotion deserving inclusion in the list above. Creases one would simply scoff at the thought that a majour sports network could fail to iron out. That network is NBC Sports and it's featured promotion is the World Series of Fighting.
As a viewer of every other WSOF event since the first, and including number 8 which took place in Florida this past Saturday, I can't help but notice a number of issues the company is yet to address (or perhaps, has addressed poorly). The issues, while some minor, give rise to the far greater debate of whether or not WSOF is really deserving of the media attention it has garnered in just a year's promotion. The intention here is not to disparage the organisation as any and all promotion of the sport is valuable to all involved. It is merely to highlight some perceived shortcomings that do not bode well for a start-up promotion.
Bas Rutten and Kenny Rice
Ok granted, Bas is entertainment personified. He has the likability of a professional comedian working part time at the Make-A-Dream Foundation. He is not the same commentator he once was. It's hard to tell whether there has been a lack of enthusiasm developing or the game has moved on to a slightly more advanced level than Bas is comfortable explaining but, it is clear he can't quite call the fight as accurately as he once could. However, let's not allow him to undeservedly bare the full brunt of the debacle that was WSOF8 commentary.
Kenny Rice has no business calling live fights. None. Zip. The man is capable of playing the counterpart to Bases' crazy character on Inside MMA but live fights are a different game entirely. One which require at least partial knowledge of nuances and positions that Rice does not and will never possess. The only explanation for his position as play-by-play guy in the recent event is his relationship with Bas. However, this is a moot point when trying to reach a new audience who may not understand the intricacies of the sport. He looked even less comfortable on camera.
WSOF behind the scenes makes an unwelcome appearance
Between each fight Bas became somewhat of a statistics vending machine. Stats are always welcome but, why not produce them live, during the fight? Producing them after seems anti-climactic and amateurish. Not, however, as anti-climactic as Bas explaining to the audience that he had just been handed the results and that he was now being told by a member of staff to read them out. Bas was ill-informed on his supposed duties throughout the entire night in fact. Which leads me to the most unprofessional 5 minutes of MMA promotion I've witnessed thus far.
The unscripted script during post fight recaps
After certain fights on the night there was a recap of the fights and/or preview of the night's future fights. Some of these recaps began by showing a full screen WSOF logo. The problem was...it never finished. Bas and Kenny began their speeches only to realise they were not on camera halfway through. Their conversation (believing they were off camera) could be heard loud and clear before the logo was removed and they began their spiel again. When they were done, what happened? Nothing! They were left staring into the camera by the WSOF production team. This prompted Bas who asked Kenny "Is that it, what do we do now?". Try watching that live without cringing for the MMA legend.
Ali Abdel-Aziz
A name I have known to exist for little more than two weeks. One that, in said time frame, has become synonymous with WSOF. A matchmaker who can promote, regardless of how ridiculous the promotional terms. An opinionated vice president with thrice the linguistic skills of the company's head honcho, and an even larger ratio of cockiness. In the two weeks his name has hit media outlets big, he has managed to rock the boat with Bellator fighters, claim the WSOF is the number 2 promotion in the world, set out...haha...a fight card to prove it and take personal shots at the BMMA CEO while namedropping the now retired UFC welterweight Georges St. Pierre as though he is Kevin Costner and the former champ is a 28 year old black woman with the voice of an angel. It's obviously working. He is garnering attention. It remains to be seen if he is up to the challenge of building a net profit making company which currently, the WSOF is not.
I, like others believed in WSOF as a viable contender in the market share wars if it received the right pushes. I have not mentioned financial issues, the absence of a 'San Jose-like hometown advantage' Strikeforce used as a catapult to stardom or the currently thin divisions. I'm willing to give it time. I'm willing to watch the development of their champions and any potential match ups involving more UFC veterans versus their up and comers. I am no longer willing to watch every other event unconditionally. So, to Ali, the conditions are clear. Clean up or shut up.

More birthday treats from myself to myself: I finally, finally ordered hardcovers of Noughties by Ben Masters and Patti Smith's Just Kids from Alibris. The former only set me back $1.50 and the latter was an astonishing $5.99.
All in all, including shipping costs to California, I only paid about $16. Omg. Considering both are either in very good condition or like new, these were ridiculous purchases. My bookshelf and I will be very happy!

I know it would be ideal for Grunwald to find a previously undrafted big man who is under the age of 23 and holds promise as a future starting center. At this point, however, I'd be fine if the Knicks settled for the known quantity of Jared Jeffries. From David Aldridge's Morning Tip post:
"Last year, Blazers insiders will tell you, Jared Jeffries was as important to the day-to-day operations of the squad as Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard or my cousin LaMarcus, the All-Star. Jeffries was a mentor to the younger players, a total professional, great in the locker room, smart, engaged teammates with his personality -- and, most importantly, did all this while accepting a playing role of limited minutes on a rebuilding team. Those things matter."
You could have worse candidates coming off the bench to guard opposing teams' centers, so he also fits a positional need.
At this point, I think the Knicks may be underestimating the loss of veteran leadership they won't have back this year with Sheed, Kurt Thomas, Camby and that point guard who quit on us a few games into the season but was reportedly a decent locker room presence for most of the season. I was fine with all those players not returning, but the signing of Metta and the re-signing of JR means we could use a stabilizing factor like Jared Jeffries.

An IDF force fired upon a Palestinian approaching the border fence in the central Gaza Strip on Sunday evening.
IDF Spokesman's Unit said that the soldiers first fired warning shots
into the air, and only shot at the man's body after he continued
approaching the fence.
Palestinian medics said the soldiers killed the man, and the soldiers confirmed that they had hit the suspect.
medics said he was an unarmed, mentally unfit man and that they
had to wait a couple of hours for permission to pick him up, early on
Monday. They suspected he died of injuries for which he might have been
The IDF could not confirm that information or say whether or not the victim was armed, saying more details about the case may become clearer later on Monday.
The shooting took place during a period of increased tensions at the Israel-Gaza frontier, with terrorists often firing rockets into southern Israel and the IAF launching aerial raids targeting terror targets.

Rotating list elements with jquery
I am trying to get a bunch of list elements to rotate (fade out the first, fade in the next and so on). I've got it working using setInterval as any jquery plugins weren't working in IE.
What I have now works in IE, the problem I'm having is universal and I can't find the bug. Please have a look and see if you can see what I'm missing.
On the front page, the first li element works fine, but when the second and third li element fades in, the h2 element shows twice (please look at it to see what I mean).
Thanks guys.
