Do we trust the after-Gary Terps? In my opinion, definitely. Left with nothing to start with, Turge has recruited extremely well. Good young talent with no attitudes, just play hard, practice hard, and learn. The Terps are strong on defense, most notably in rebounding.
Our offense is inconsistent, no shooters, turnovers, and low free throw percentage. But what do we expect. These kids are young. They act like a team, but play offense with too many rotations.
In my humble opinion, Turge is on track, maybe ahead of schedule. He knows what he is doing. He has a plan. Good recruiting coming in, and a young team that will mature.
Let's build a national power. Just be patient.

Frankens Provisions to Help Sexual Assault Victims Included in Major Law Enforcement Bill
U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) said today that his provision to ensure that victims of sexual assault are no longer forced to pay for their own rape kits was included in major law enforcement legislation introduced this week by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The rape kit provision was one of three Franken measures Leahy included in his Justice for All Reauthorization Act, which authorizes funds to support the use of DNA evidence. The other two Franken provisions encourage local law enforcement jurisdictions to more quickly process their backlog of rape kits, which are used to gather and preserve evidence in sexual assault cases.
"We have an obligation to ensure that survivors of sexual assault receive prompt medical attention-without them having to worry about if they're going to have to pay for it. We also must make certain their assailants are brought to justice," said Sen. Franken. "These provisions will go a long way to help survivors of sexual assault and clear the backlog of untested rape kits. I want to thank Chairman Leahy, who has been a fierce advocate for survivors of sexual assault, for including these provisions in the Justice for All Reauthorization Act."
In 2004, Leahy teamed up with then-Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.) and others to enact the Debbie Smith Act, named after a rape survivor whose backlogged rape kit went untested for six years after her assault. That act provided federal funding for the testing of backlogged DNA evidence but numerous reports suggest that backlog levels across the country remain high.
The provisions from Sen. Franken's justice for survivors of sexual assault act included in the justice for all act would:
· Prohibit the current practice-permitted by federal law-where certain jurisdictions bill rape victims and then allow the victim to seek reimbursement from the state.
· This will require all jurisdictions receiving STOP grants to provide free rape kits to victims or arrange for them to receive free rape kits.
· Require jurisdictions to report how much of their Debbie Smith grant funds have been used to analyze DNA from sexual assault cases.
· Penalize those jurisdictions that fail to report the reductions in rape kit backlog levels to the Department of Justice by reducing that Debbie Smith grant funding.
Chairman Leahy's bill reauthorizes current law and may be acted upon in the coming months.

Eastern Sierras July 2008

This book is a series of photos that were taken while on vacation in the Eastern Sierras in July 2008. We had not been for several years and the dogs were new to camping. The trip was also significant because we took our dog Jake's ashes to spread at Rock Creek Lake.

Everyone talks about the mesmerising setting, with fabulous views across Kensington Gardens to the City's 'spires and shards', but Min Jiang also serves up some of the best Chinese food in town, according to its many devotees (us among them). Mirrored panels, red lacquer, wooden screens and classical pottery set the tone in the plush dining room, while the menu takes a trip around China's culinary provinces. Start with some Cantonese dim sum – perhaps char-siu puffs or 'truly special' stick tofu with honey and sesame – before tackling the 'must-have' wood-roast Beijing duck, presented in three servings, including slivers of crisp neck skin dipped in sugar. Claypot venison is vigorously spiced with Szechuan pepper, and you can cool down with an esoteric combo of pear and white snow ear fungus. Cracking service and 'one hell of a wine list' complete a mightily impressive package.
I have been truly spoiled for this years birthday celebrations, the finale was with my closest friends at Min Jiang. Boasting views from the 10th floor overlooking Kensington gardens. The lofty restaurant aims to please, booking a table of 8 we waited patiently by the bar.
The signature legendary Beijing duck was a must for me, constantly taunted by my foodie friends. The duck needs to be ordered 45 minutes in advanced. For starters we had a selection of dim sum, xiao long bao, and cheung fun...

Nestled up high in the rather faded and archaic looking Royal Garden hotel is Min Jiang. A proper old-fashioned yet luxurious Chinese restaurant that boasts stunning views over Hyde Park. Layers of lush greenery with the magnificent London skyline behind, that for once lets the natural landscape take centre stage. This is no Hutong, although what we ate was just as great, the restaurant is quite dated and more informal with a family atmosphere, although several manly business dinners were going on around us. I'm meant to set the scene and describe the feel and decor of the restaurant, but I can't wait to talk about the food. It was simply fantastic, some of the best Chinese food we've ever had. And no this isn't a blogger gushing over a comped meal, we don't do that, this is fact.
The first thing we ordered remains our favourite – a starter of Smoked Jasmine ribs with sesame seeds £10.50. We smelt them coming long before they landing on our table, so fragrant with proper falling-off-the-bone meat and a crunchy sesame crust...

When I was growing up in Port Elizabeth in the 1970s and 1980s, although it was a wonderful place to live, let's just say it was not exactly a culinary hotspot. Hot restaurants du jour included the Hungry I (steaks and seafood), El Cid (steaks and seafood), The Coachman (more steaks and seafood), and La Fontaine (a 70′s extravaganza of a menu including grapefruit cocktail, smoked salmon with Melba toast, Wiener schnitzel and, of course, steak with a green peppercorn sauce). Ethnic food was not huge and mostly reflected the demographic – and because we had a large Chinese population, we did at least have Chinese restaurants. But when I moved to London I discovered that much of what I knew as Chinese was a bastardised version – my beloved Shanghai steak in particular (fried strips of beef steak in a soy sauce gravy with, ummm, green peas) is evidently unique to South Africa. So imagine my delight when I arrived in London to discover the many and varied pleasures of crispy duck!...

Family farms are diminishing in Georgia, but the ag industry's impact continues to grow in the state.
Data from the U-S Department of Agriculture's census of agriculture, conducted every five years, shows the number of farms in Georgia decreased by 12% in five years.
The study points out that commercial farms remain big and highly productive.
One family farmer remains optimistic about his future.
"I noticed a lot of young people went off in other cities, after they've gotten out of high school they coming back," said John Green, farmer.
The study shows Georgia farms contribute about 70 billion dollars a year to the state economy.
While the average age of farmers in the state increased from 58 to 60, the number of African American and Hispanic farmers increased.

Second... A gentleman I assume is their guide takes a long shot at a moose and DRILLS him in the rack... Right in front of Ralph. I laughed my bootie off... (believe me that was a lot of laughing). Not so much because the shot missed the mark, but because here's this big ol moose trotting off with a shaft at what looks like a perfect 90' angle to his body. He then stops and turns back like he's thinking "Man that was close... hey what's this sticking out of my head?" Then Ralph plants a Beman deep from about 20 yards.
The whole set up is comical.
If I missed my mark here, and it's the TV shows... forgive the intrusion.
For those that have yet to puchase the video... do it. I learned A TON!
I also learned a new use for a boat oar!
Sorry we are talking TV. Now I don't have the videos and you're making want the videos.

If we were able to sign Peyton to a 2 year contract at let's just say $8 million per year, with some incentives included to bulk it up some, could we also still trade our first this year and next, and maybe a 2nd or 3rd this year to St. Louis to move up and get RGIII?
I have been reading we have anywhere from $44-$48 million in salary cap to play with this offseason, so I would assume we could do this with the new CBA lowering rookie salaries, and still fill some other holes like OL, WR and DB. Then we get the best of both worlds, try to win now, while still building for the future.
Not to mention, RGIII getting to learn from one of the best QB's ever for a couple years is a great situation, and if Peyton can't make it back to his elite status, we already have his replacement. I have no idea if this would be possible financially, so I'm just throwing it out there for discussion.

Doesn't it seem like nail polish trends are on warp speed lately? It's tough to keep up—even in the past six months or so, we've seen three mayjah ones. Yves Saint Laurent's Stormy Grey—which I dubbed "the nail polish every beauty editor will be wearing"—kicked things off last fall. And then there was the love affair with jade green (a trend I happily sat out). Now, as predicted when we saw Chanel's Spring 2010 show last October, it's all about taupe.
Think warm, mushroomy shades—some even have a hint of lilac. Consider them the new neutrals: unlike previous nail trends like blues and greens, this is a colour that goes with everything. (Clearly Lily Allen, Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Beckinsale think so too.) Below, my top taupe polish picks. (But act fast! When it comes to polish trends, Chanel does the trend-setting… and I've just received their summer collection with some brand new lust-after shades. Stay tuned!)
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Particulière
The shade that started it all. Limited edition, so if you can still find it, snap it up now! (Sadly, I didn't get a sample… but I still think it's the prettiest of all.)
Essie Nail Polish in Mink Muffs
A number of beauty eds I know are fond of a similar Essie shade, Chinchilly, which is also lovely—but Mink Muffs has a bit more warmth.
OPI Nail Polish in Over the Taupe
OPI actually has two taupe offerings—this shade, which I prefer (it's a bit more pinkish) and a darker, more brownish one called You Don't Know Jacques.
Lippmann Collection Nail Color in Waking Up in Vegas
Available at Holt Renfrew, this is more of a chalky, greyish taupe.
Sally Hansen Nail Color in Commander in Chic
If you're not quite ready to give up your dark, vampy nails, this could be a good compromise—it's the deepest of these taupe offerings, with a definite purple tinge.
What do you think of the taupe polish trend? Do you have a favourite shade? Do tell—inquiring minds want to know!

Nov. 17 - Judge Mindy Fisk presiding
• Mariah L. Balk, 20, of River Street, Warrensburg, was charged with second-degree burglary, a felony based on an incident Oct. 15 at about noon. Police said she unlawfully entered a River Street residence and took items belonging to a female. The items stolen were personal clothing and footwear, two iPods, a camera and a set of Sharpie markers, altogether worth about $850. Police said the victim saw Mariah Balk brag on the "Stickam" Web site she had stolen her property and would burn it, and there was nothing the victim could do about it.
Balk is also charged with criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, for cutting the victim's $60 black stiletto boots into pieces, according to police. Balk is also charged with the misdemeanor of second-degree aggravated harassment for telling the victim to go kill herself, and if she didn't commit suicide, Balk would kill her, or "make her disappear," according to police. An order of protection was issued to block Balk from any contact with the victim. Balk is also charged with petit larceny in connection with the alleged burglary.
Balk was re-arraigned and committed to Warren County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash bail, and the case was referred to a Grand Jury.
• Harley Pryme, 24 pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment in full satisfaction of the charges in connection with an Oct. 16 incident on Horicon Avenue. Police said Pryme ripped the bedroom door off a victim's wall and broke it in half, then threw it against another door and into a wall, causing damage to the man's apartment. Police also said he threatened the man with physical harm while chasing him out of his home. He was sentenced to 15 days in Warren County jail.
• The case of Burton R. Karson was adjourned to Dec. 21. He is charged with violating probation on a 2007 charge of DWI-alcohol/drugs. The Warren County Probation Department lodged the charge after a random drug screening of Karson conducted in March tested positive for cocaine.

However, even though I don't think Frank deserves to get fired unless we finish worse than last year and Drummond isn't starting by the end of the year (even if it's only 20 minutes a game, all with Monroe), I do think Frank is likely to be fired either this off season or by the end of next season. But, I would like to suggest something similar to what was speculated with the Lakers when they fired Mike Brown.
No, I don't want Phil Jackson as the head coach. If I were him, I'd laugh at ANY Pistons representative who called me offering me the job at any amount of money. However, there is someone who has been out of coaching for some time (almost a decade) that has had health issues in the past and would require to go on very few home games. Rudy Tomjanovic. For this to happen though, he'd need to have a competent assistant. And for that, I suggest...........................Lawrence Frank.
I've always respected Rudy's teams. Not just because he won two championships back to back, but he did it with a seemingly innocuous team. I mean, you look at his two championship teams and there may be 5 guys on each roster whom you can name and actually picture them in a play from those days (I more remember Ellie with San Antonio than I do Houston). Those teams didn't look that threatening at all. Neither does our current team. And honestly, I can see some similarities in the makeup of those teams as I do with the current Pistons team.
- Olajuwon - Drummond in 2-3 years
- Thorpe - Monroe
- Cassell - Knight
- Horry - Prince
- Maxwell - Stuckey
- Ellie - Singler
Now, none of those comparisons are meant to be disrespectful to any of the Houston players nor are they saying any of the Pistons players are currently at the level of those Houston players. But I see similarities in potential and/or style. With the teams Rudy's coached, I think he'd be a perfect fit to teach our two future of the franchise big men. Also, he had pretty good defensive teams (a Detroit staple) and a Michigan boy (boo, I'm a State fan). He also has pedigree and I think the players would respect him much more than they do most coaches. I also think he'd be available at a reasonable price.
As for Frank, I really do like him in a coaching position. However, he may be just like our current players. Not necessarily starter quality, but an excellent role player. I think he'd be fully capable to learn and teach Rudy's offense and defense. It may in fact be not so dissimilar than his own. So with Frank as the assistant, he'd be the "Away games" head coach so Rudy didn't have to travel as much.
Now, there are some things that I would think could be concerning. I mentioned how I wanted coaching continuity, well this wouldn't necessarily fit that bill. They'd essentially have two different coaches, and even Rudy wouldn't be in all practices such as during long road trips. Also, it MAY be kind of awkward for your previous head coach to now be your assistant coach.
Currently Rudy has been a scout for the Lakers. Here is a good article that summarizes what his responsibilities are and has testimonials to his knowledge of the game (including statistics). I'd even think his son could possibly be given a position if desired. In the article, it does state how he's not sure he could take coaching responsibilities again because of the day-to-day responsibilities, which is why I suggested two coaches. With us not likely to make the playoffs for another year or two, I wouldn't mind taking a flier on this and seeing how it works. Whatchu think?

VLC Player for Windows 8 Kickstarter Project
Look, I normally hate funding Kickstarter projects.
My view is that most of the compelling ones could get otherwise funded, but they don't want to give up any equity in the project. So what they do is ride a wave of naivete and get tech enthusiasts to take all the risks of funding product development, but without getting to participate in any of the success. So basically you assume all of the potential downside, without getting to realize any of the upside. Best case, you get what you pay for.
VLC is different. Anyone who does even a moderate amount of media watching on their computer has had to turn to the VLC player at some point to decode video in some wonky codec. And they've always been able to do so without paying a penny. Basically, we're all in their debt to some small degree.
So now they've launched a Kickstarter project to fund design and development of a Windows 8 app. Some of that cost will go towards enabling the developers to work on the project full time, but it will also fund the hiring of a professional designer to make the app beautiful and "Metro-fied."
If you're using Windows 8 and/or are planning to do so in the future, especially on some sort of tablet device, it would be great if you could throw these guys a couple of bucks to move this project along. I feel like the team has built up a lot of "good guy" equity, and if you can afford it then it would be nice to help them along.

text: After Six Years, Taylor Morrison Tees Up New SoCal CommunitiesThe builder labored through the bust to have land ready for the market's turn.By Teresa Burney At the apex of the housing boom six years ago, Taylor Morrison started working to get approval to build homes on a palm tree farm with peek-a-boo views of the Pacific Ocean in Carlsbad, Calif. It's just now starting model homes on the land.Even as the housing market kept crashing, Taylor Morrison kept working to find and develop choice land in Southern California. Someday, company officials were certain, that land would be worth something again."The market is so competitive in Southern California that getting land out in front of us is critical," said Phil Bodem, Taylor Morrison's Southern California division president.Fortuitously, the market seems to be picking up at the same time Taylor Morrison has three new communities in prime areas near Los Angeles and Northern San Diego that will be ready to start selling by summer."I would say that we have had probably the best three months of sales that we have seen" in years, said Bodem. "[The market] started picking up in December and has continued through January and February. And the nice thing is that I am seeing it across the board in all of our communities." In addition, both permits and employment numbers are up, he said.When the market tanked Taylor Morrison stopped shopping for land in far-flung exurbs of Southern California and concentrated on closer-in communities with the thought that location matters more now than it did during the peak of the boom."We were continuing to grow our business through strategic acquisitions in North San Diego County and Orange County. "It truly has been a focus on quality locations."The Carlsbad neighborhood is in the Aviara master plan and is called Vista del Mar. Taylor Morison is planning 37 single-family homes from 1,900 square feet to 3,000 square feet with prices ranging from the low to high $600,000s, along with a considerable amount of land preserved from development because of environmental concerns.Taylor Morrison is also readying a development with 143 townhome lots in Yorba Linda, California. It's the last residential piece in the Vista del Verde master plan. Taylor Morrison bought the land from Toll Brothers and a partner. The lots are nearly finished and the community is scheduled to open in June. The units will be between 2,200 square feet and 2,500 square feet and will be priced from the high $500,000s to the low $600,00s. The community includes a high-end public golf course.The third new neighborhood is Campanilla in the San Juan Hills master plan in Capistrano, Calif. The 132 single-family lots will be sold in two different product lines. The 98 Artisan Collection homes will be between 1,800 square feet and 2,700 square feet and sell from the high $500,000s to the high $600,000s, while the 34 Villa Collection homes will be between 2,600 square feet and 3,100 square feet and sell from the mid- to high- $700,000s.Campanilla is the last residential piece in that area and will be the only community of new homes for sale. Bodem said the deal came "under the radar" from a broker who approached Taylor Morrison with the deal. It was owned by a small local builder who isn't actively building. "This one was a real feather in our cap," Bodem said.Teresa Burney is a senior editor for Builder magazine.Learn more about markets featured in this article: San Diego, CA, Los Angeles, CA.

It's uncertain whether this is because they can't let go of the fish (ie. they're locked in) or because they just really want their prey. Either way, it's really impressive to see them swim in the open ocean and quite satisfying to see them eat an entire salmon shortly afterwards.

I think I saw that video too.
Any time I see an Osprey go for a fish, they always end up shaking like that, hit or miss. First, they gain a little altitude off the water, then they shake just like a dog. I thought it was hilarious the first time I saw it

Ariel Helwani spoke to UFC President Dana White after the UFC 152 weigh-ins and Dana didn't hold back about his frustration with Light Heavyweight champ Jon Jones. MMA Fighting's Dave Meltzer typed up a bunch of the quotes. Here's Dana responding to Jones' claims that he didn't realize UFC 151 would be cancelled if he declined to fight Chael Sonnen.
"I'm actually glad that he did say that. I don't think he would have said that if I was there. So today we're going to be face-to-face and we'll see what he says and he doesn't say. The fact that he said he didn't know the show would be canceled is false. I did tell him the show would be canceled.
"I think he takes this thing, or is acting like he's taking it, lightly, which he shouldn't be," White continued. "The fact that the fight was canceled isn't a joke. It's not funny and a lot of people were affected by it. There was a lot of collateral damage that happened with the cancelling of the show. We'll see how this goes."
"I think he needs to take it a little more serious than he is," said White. "I don't know if he's embarrassed. Obviously the fans have turned on him, but I think he needs to take this thing a little more serious than he did."

By GENE PATTERSON6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - I first met Steve Kaufman in the 80s. He had just won the second of three national Flat Pick Guitar Championships in Winfield, Kansas.
Kaufman is still around, still making music, and still very much a part of the spirit of East Tennessee.
For many years, he was the only three-time champion. Two others now hold that distinction, but Kaufman, as he points out, was the first.
Flatpicking is a style of guitar playing associated with bluegrass and traditional Appalachian music and employs the pick to strum and hit the notes.
"This is what I do and I've loved it since I was a teenager, 15 or so when I got started," Kaufman said. "I'm surprised I can make a living at it. I'm surprised other people like it."
Kaufman and his wife, Donna, bought the Palace Theater in downtown Maryville and restored the 220-seat theater to its 1934 look. Donna runs the show, which includes many musical groups.
"What's really neat about it is that we'll have an older couple come in and they'll walk up to the balcony and say 'I got my first kiss in those seats,'" Kaufman said.
These days, Kaufman stays busy. When he's not traveling and performing in locales from Miami to Fairbanks, he's back home with his wife planning his summer Acoustic Kamps, a series of guitar workshops.
"This is our 18th year and it's grown to the largest one in the world of its kind. We'll have 700 students," he said.
The music and those camps are what Steve says he lives for.
"I couldn't imagine not playing," he said. "When I wake up in the morning I think, 'What can I do in this business today?' I'm obsessed with it. I just love what I do."
And that is very much the nature of the Spirit of East Tennessee.

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Well, the road to San Diego and the Broncos' playoff hopes is sometimes clouded by unrealistic expectations. HT asked us to look down the road to our season ending game against San Diego and determine if the Broncos would be sitting pretty with a playoff spot secure or scrambling for our playoff lives in an epic battle against the hated Bolts.
So I asked myself, what the Chargers must do to catch us (barring a complete collapse on our part)?
Da Bolts – 3-5 (2 GB).
Kansas City Chiefs (W, should win)
@ Pittsburgh Steelers (critical game)
Indianapolis Colts (critical game)
Atlanta Falcons (W, should win, will be tough)
Oakland Raiders (W, should destroy)
@ Kansas City Chiefs (W, should win)
@ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (critical game)
Denver Broncos
I'll give the Chargers 4 wins hands down. That gets them to 7-5. If they manage to sweep the 3 tougher opponents (we're in trouble b/c they're playing really well), they'll be 10-5 going into our end of season match up. If that's the case, our team will be on red alert. I'd love to see us lose only 1 game before we play SD, but I don't see that, especially as we continue to lose players to injury. However, I think SD will stumble down the stretch and can easily go 2-1 or even 1-2 against those tough opponents (if they lose all 3, yeah us!). Those latter records put them at 9-6 (makes our game against them meaningful) or 8-7 (could still make our game meaningful). Why? Keep reading…
Broncos – 5-4
@ Atlanta Falcons (critical game)
Oakland Raiders (W, should destroy)
@ New York Jets (critical game)
Kansas City Chiefs (W, should win. revenge game, to boot)
@ Carolina Panthers (critical game)
Buffalo Bills (critical game)
@ San Diego Chargers (critical game)
Man, unless your drinking some serious kool-aid, you'll notice how brutal our end of season schedule is. The Panthers, Bills and Chargers will be vying for playoff positions. I cannot, in good conscious, give us easy wins over any team other than KC and OAK. That brings us to 7-4. We really need to go at least 2-2 in those 4 tougher games before we play SD (the ATL game next week is critical for us and would make me feel better about our chances). Two wins puts us at 9-6 before the SD game. I think this is our best case scenario. That being said, I can seriously see us going 1-3 or even 0-4 against our tougher opponents.
I know we're not supposed to think that way, and some may accuse me of not keeping the faith, but our team has been decimated by injuries and we pretty much have to shoot our way out of the AFC West bar to stand a chance. And by shoot our way out, I mean Cutler will rack up loads of yards/TDs, and sadly, load of INTs (I'm surprised more people haven't made the Favre comparison yet. Oh wait, people will have that chance when we play the Jets).
So, can we do it? Sure. Will it be so easy that we can rest our players against SD? I seriously doubt that. Hell, if that's the case, that means we played great down the stretch and SD imploded. Still, I hate the mindset that is fearful of playing another team. Let's hope we get to be the team that knocks SD out of the playoff picture while we win the division. That's the kind of game that we can build on going into next season. Next season you say? Keep reading…
Just because I say this doesn't mean I'm not rooting my ass off that we don't "go...all...the...way!" But right now we're barely a playoff contender (thank you parity), have lost more players at key positions than most teams (seriously, we can't afford to lose anymore players), a team that plays with a reckless abandon that drives me to drink in jubilation and despair, and have a very difficult schedule down the stretch. I want us to get into the playoffs. I want our young players to taste it so that they'll work even harder in the offseason. But just because I want some it, doesn't mean it will happen. If our team makes the playoffs this year, it will be because they earned it. GO BRONCOS!

I often hear such frustration or sadness at what one used to be able to do in yoga, for instance; or daily despair at the aging evident in the mirror. This body ages, this is a fact. Places change, people change, people move, jobs change… To conclude that I am "less than" as a result is incorrect, and a source of sorrow.
Free your mental/emotional vitality for the glory of where you are, for the task at hand.
This is Karma Yoga.
Your choice is in action only, never in the results thereof.
Do not think you are the author (adhikara) of the results of action.
Let your attachment not be to inaction.
Bhagavad Gita, verse 2:47
There is a lot in this verse, and this is the first segment of a series on Karma Yoga, an essential principle to be clear about. Arjuna is struggling with his dilemma and sorrow about going to war, fretting about the possible outcomes. Here Krsna begins the discussion continued in the following 16 chapters on action, duty, being engaged in society, community and family while pursuing self-knowledge, knowledge of being and creation.
The key point Krsna is making here is that we only have authority (adhikara) over our actions, not the results of action, literally the fruits of action (karmaphala), a term with specific contextual connotations. This is reasoned pragmatism. Results are subject to laws beyond our control and will arrive at some future time. In order to understand the implications of this assertion, we look to the attributes of both the actions and the results. One attribute affecting both is time.
Action is always now. Results are always future, in relation to the action, or in our memory of past actions. So here Krsna is telling Arjuna, don't waste your time, don't waste your mental focus and vitality, on what is not here now. Results will come for sure, and you will reap the results, knowingly or unknowingly. But that is out of your hands. Now, there is work to be done. How will you do it?
Whatever the work, if your mind is worrying the future uncertainty of results, your attention, skill, focus are not on the task at hand. If the task at hand is done with presence, efficiency with all your vitality certainly the result will be affected. If the task at hand is done with dissipated attention and energy, certainly the result will be affected. So worry not about what is not in your hands, don't fritter your energy on what you cannot affect. Channel all your vitality into what is to be done. Now. Everyday. This is Karma Yoga, says Krsna, and does not refer to a particular kind of work or action, but the very nature of all our actions.
* My understanding comes from study with Swami Dayananda Saraswati over there years, from Swami Chinmayananda's books and videos teachers from this community. The conclusions are not my own, and any misunderstanding or error is my own.
Next: Karma Yoga is graceful acceptance of fruits of action.
You know that feeling when thoughts about past and present are absent from your mind? That feeling of not-want. Like ambling through nature, carrying nothing but yourself, nowhere to be, no one to see. That's my ideal example of being totally in the now (and what I would give to be there now!). So how is it possible to feel that as a student, constantly thinking about tomorrow's paper or next week's exam? It's tough, especially when I grapple with the pitfalls of standardized tests and grades. I study, I do the task at hand, what is to be done.
And gracefully accept that fruity A or F.

Great product
Damask Dream RSVP Postcards The products that my fiance and I customized (invitations and response cards) came out wonderfully and in a very timely manner. The customization options offer almost-endless possibilities to make them truly one-of-a-kind, which is nice when trying to reflect the unique features of your wedding. The only downside to the process occurred when the customization program was a little faulty. It froze once in a while and was very specific in how to alter things. It definitely took some getting used to and a little patience when some of the tools weren't working perfectly. But, overall, it was very much worth the time. The invitations came out beautifully and I am very glad we chose Magnet Street to make them. The prices were competitive with other companies, but the customization and details made it the true winner.
Very pleased!!

Quick Links
When the city of Tampa put together its First website in 1996, the site served
as a descriptive brochure more than anything else. For years, content was
limited. Today, the website has more than 4,600 pages of information.
Tampagov.net offers users the chance to pay parking tickets and water bills
online, check crime maps and police calls, apply for a job and even search for
a dead relative in Tampa's cemeteries. "It's a tremendous time savings
for citizens," says Steve Cantler, Tampa's MIS project leader.
Many business sites have had similar transformations. "At one point,
everyone just wanted to put on an online brochure and make it look cool,"
says Gaston Legorburu, founder of Planning Group International, a Miami
advertising agency that focuses on interactive media.
Tampa's site, recently named the best local government website by
California-based Center for Digital Government (Miami-Dade County came in
second), illustrates what it takes to make a successful website:
When Tampa upgraded its website in 2000, city officials decided that the
conventional address used nationwide for city government sites (in its case,
ci.tampa.fl.us) was awkward. After finding that tampa.com was already taken,
the city settled on tampagov.net and purchased the .com and .org versions
Keep it timely. Every website should be
refreshed on a regular basis, even if only to change the date and add some
information. A retailer might add a special sale or discounted items to the
home page; a hotel might add vacation packages; and a city could include
local news bulletins and details on upcoming special events.
Include interactive features. The days
of using a website as a descriptive brochure are over. Web users want to do
something at a site, whether it is purchasing a product, requesting a
brochure or paying a bill. Tampa's site has nine e-commerce activities,
including getting a construction permit, requesting a police report, paying
a utility bill or buying an item at the Tampa Museum of Art online store.
Personalize the site. Tampa has launched
MyTampaGov that lets residents register and keep a record of all of their
electronic transactions with the city, such as parking tickets, utility bill
payments and business license renewal payments. As for any privacy concerns,
Rick Smith, director of Tampa's Department of Planning & Management,
says, "It's the citizen's choice to give us that information."
A simpler way to personalize a site is let users pick and choose information
for their own home pages, such as local news and weather, favorite links and
shopping preferences.

This is all the more disappointing because The Campaign seems to have the right ingredients for a breezy, irreverent, R-rated comedy, well-timed for a Presidential election year. Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis are ideal as a smug but stupid Congressman from North Carolina and his dark-horse competitor, who is utterly unequipped for the job, let alone the down-and-dirty campaign it requires.
Director Jay Roach knows how to make the most of the material. You may have seen some of the film's funnier moments in the trailer and TV spots. The screenplay, by Chris Henchy and Shawn Harwell, becomes repetitious after a while, bouncing back and forth from one candidate to the other as they perpetrate a series of tit-for-tat dirty tricks. The villains of the piece, fat-cat brothers who intend to plunder the district by putting a dummy in office to do their bidding, are obvious, uninventive characters that John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd could play in their sleep, and nearly do.
The truth is that Ferrell, Galifianakis and their writers are better served by short-form ideas like the ones they hatch so successfully on Funny or Die. Not every idea is fruitful enough to deserve a feature-length film, and this is one of them.
Audiences who are eager for laughs may rate this "good enough," which is exactly the problem with movie comedies right now. We deserve better.

April showers bring May flowers, but this year we can expect to see more than just plants popping out of the ground. The 17-year cicadas are coming - and some maps show they will be concentrated in central Virginia.
Experts say that in Virginia this cycle of cicadas will mainly emerge in the Piedmont region, which stretches from the falls of the Potomac River to the Blue Ridge Mountains. People should be prepared to see - and hear - hundreds of the beady-eyed bugs in the coming weeks.
"They have big eyes, they have black wings with like orange veins in them. They're kind of a Halloween-looking insect," said Greg O'Donnell spokesperson for the Virginia Department of Forestry.
After 17 years underground, a mass of cicadas will finally see daylight.
"For the month of May, they're really going to be out in full force," said Cathy Kloetzi, Virginia Cooperative Extension agent.
The Virginia Cooperative Extension says many of the bugs in this brood will burrow out of central Virginia. A projected emergence map for 2013 shows Albemarle, Fluvanna and Louisa counties will be impacted by the invasion.
"We're going to see dime-sized holes appear in the ground. That's the cicada burrowing out. They're going to climb out onto trees and start to sing out," said O'Donnell.
Experts say the sound of the adult cicada mating calls is what we'll notice most.
"They come out, they play around, they molt, they mate, and they make a lot of noise, so you'll hear them," said Kloetzi.
Once the cicadas mate, the female will trim spots at the end of twigs and branches to bury up to 400 eggs, causing minimal damage to some young trees. But rest assured - experts say they are harmless to humans.
"They're not locusts; they're not going to bite you or sting you or eat the leaves, so nothing to worry about," said Kloetzi.
The critters will only stick around for four to six weeks, creating the next generation to greet us in 2030.
"It's sort of like a time capsule. You plant something into the ground and 17 years later they'll come back," said Kloetzi.
The Virginia Cooperative Extension says that these 17-year cicadas are unique to the eastern United States. There are also 13-year cicadas and the dog-day breed that appear in July and August every year.

Right now I feel like saying, "look ma look what I did!" I'm not sure what happened but I suddenly had a better understanding of how photoshop works lol. Its not perfect, but I worked really, really hard on it. With the help of Adriana helping me understand how the different photoshop elements work and guiding me through the finishing touches, I did this picture, no one chipped in because both Adri and I were determined that I do this all on my own! So she didn't take it and do anything to it at all. I'm so proud of myself. Haha. Hopefully I'll get a lot better in the future.
Anyway, the very sexy outfit I'm wearing is from Epic and from the moment I saw it I wanted it. I didn't even wait for her to send it to me, I ran down to the event and BOUGHT it. Its that good, that I was willing to spend money on something that I could have gotten for free. But she did an amazing job on this and sooo deserved my Ls. The leather looks exquisite, the fit is amazing and its so creative. Be sure to head over to BeWbAPaLoOZa and pick it up. You have the entire month to grab this exclusive item so don't miss out! Also, I figured since the world is supposed to end before Xmas I might as well show what our post apocalyptic Xmas is really going to look like. Get those canned goods in order. :p

If you are looking for a quick introduction to Ruffus, you may want to look at the Simple Tutorial first, some of which content is shared with, or elaborated on, by this manual.
The Ruffus module is a lightweight way to run computational pipelines.
Computational pipelines often become quite simple if we breakdown the process into simple stages.
Ruffus refers to each stage of your pipeline as a task.Let us start with the usual "Hello World".We have the following two python functions which we would like to turn into an automatic pipeline:
The simplest Ruffus pipeline would look like this:
The functions which do the actual work of each stage of the pipeline remain unchanged. The role of Ruffus is to make sure these functions are called in the right order, with the right parameters, running in parallel using multiprocessing if desired.
There are three simple parts to building a ruffus pipeline
- importing ruffus
- "Decorating" functions which are part of the pipeline
- Running the pipeline!
The most convenient way to use ruffus is to import the various names directly:from ruffus import *
This will allow ruffus terms to be used directly in your code. This is also the style we have adopted for this manual.
Category Terms Pipeline functions pipeline_printout pipeline_printout_graph pipeline_run register_cleanup Decorators @follows @files @split @transform @merge @collate @posttask @jobs_limit @parallel @check_if_uptodate @files_re Loggers stderr_logger black_hole_logger Parameter disambiguating Indicators suffix regex inputs touch_file combine mkdir output_from
import ruffus
You need to tag or decorator existing code to tell Ruffus that they are part of the pipeline.
decorators are ways to tag or mark out functions.
They start with an @ prefix and take a number of parameters in parenthesis.
The ruffus decorator @follows makes sure that second_task follows first_task.Multiple decorators can be used for each task function to add functionality to Ruffus pipeline functions.However, the decorated python functions can still be called normally, outside of Ruffus.Ruffus decorators can be added to (stacked on top of) any function in any order.
We run the pipeline by specifying the last stage (task function) of your pipeline. Ruffus will know what other functions this depends on, following the appropriate chain of dependencies automatically, making sure that the entire pipeline is up-to-date.
In our example above, because second_task depends on first_task, both functions are executed in order.>>> pipeline_run([second_task], verbose = 1)
Ruffus by default prints out the verbose progress through your pipeline, interleaved with our Hello and World.
