My dictionaries of British origin firmly mark this as archaic or dialectal, which will come as a surprise to all the journalists, advertisers and Christmas card scribes who have cheerily borrowed it in recent weeks as a useful alternative name for the Christmas season. Traditionally, it's true, it has been more a Northern English and Scots word than a common southern English one, and you will be very unlikely to hear it casually used at the supermarket checkout.
Yule and Yuletide don't refer only to Christmas day but to all the traditional festive twelve days of Christmas. That goes back to a time before the Christian festival had been thought of. It derives from the Old Norse jól, which was the name of a pagan festival at the winter solstice (and which survives in the modern Scandinavian greeting god jul, Good Yule or Merry Christmas). The beginning of that festival was marked with the ceremonial lighting of the Yule clog or Yule log, a big log laid across the hearth and lit with a piece of wood from the previous year's log.
A traditional Scots dish was Yule brose, the seasonal version of a kind of porridge made from oats on which was poured the juices from boiled meat. The Edinburgh Magazine reported in 1821 that it was usual to put a ring in the communal bowl of Yule brose; the person who got it in their spoon was taken to be the member of the company to be first married.

Finding a unique name for a horse name can be a challenging task. One of the largest breed associations in the world, The American Quarter Horse Association has over five million registered horse names. The problem with naming a horse is not that a name can not be conjured up is that all to often someone else has already conjured up the same name.
One way to differentiate your horse name from one already taken or even a famous horse name is to add a descriptor. Lets try it with a simple boy horse name like Striker. Just add to it like Light Striker, White Striker, or Joy Striker. Often people will name a horse by mixing up parts from two famous horse names. Another option is to change the spelling or leave out spaces. . If you are really interested in trying to find a name that no one has used, the best place to get ideas is in current pop culture. What are some popular things people are doing, wearing, saying, and playing. You get the picture.
When you do name your horse it is a good idea to check with what ever breed association your are registering with to make sure the name is with in the guidelines. Not to long ago names could not be suggestive in nature but the rules have loosen over time. Now days there are only a few official rule but you will want to be sure and follow them.
Here are some basics: Names must be unique although a name can be reused if the original horse is no longer living and doesn't have a record of winning anything, didn't start in a race, and doesn't have any offspring under the age of 10 that have won anything. The moniker can not be any longer than twenty characters, can't include punctuation, and can't include Roman numerals. It can include Arabic numerals in a suffix though. Rules do vary from breed registry to registry. In some circumstances a horses name can be changed but for a fee.
Here is a list of lists. Instead of re-posting tons of names for everyone to dig through, it is easier to have links here to literally thousands and thousands of names.
Through these list you will be able to find every kind of name imaginable from Male horse names, girl horse names, famous horse names, horse show names, even pony names and other pet names. So have fun and happy naming!

Who'd have thought that Cheryl Cole would be the one to spark an edgy new hair trend? But lo and behold, it looks like style maverick Peaches Geldof has followed Cheryl's lead and died her hair plum. Geldof posted a picture of herself on Twitter yesterday sporting a deep purple up-do. And how good does she look? Pretty, tick. Edgy, tick. Sexy, tick. The colour somehow works better on a tougher cut than Cheryl's bouffant WAG style length. Still, looks like plum's the new red. Let's hope it goes with our new season wardrobe!

FRUITA, Colo. A dog and her family have their neighbors to thank for the dog's life.
Bonnie, a great pyranees who protects her sheep farm in Fruita from coyotes, fell into her neighbor's icy pond Friday morning.
The neighbor noticed her out in the water struggling to stay afloat, so he used a row boat to save the dog from the freezing water.
He said he was going to wait for the fire department to arrive to rescue her, but he was nervous she might die if he didn't step in sooner.
The dog is safe and spent Friday warming back up.

text: Just Right: ACC Finally Gets Desired Florida State-Miami Showdown Print article Send a Tip from AP 2 Nov 2013 post a comment (AP) ACC gets FSU-Miami game it's been longing forBy RALPH D. RUSSOAP College Football WriterTen years have passed since the Atlantic Coast Conference lured Miami away from the Big East, and the ACC is finally getting what it figured would become routine when the Hurricanes joined.No. 7 Miami at No. 3 Florida State. Two unbeaten teams in a game with national championship implications, taking the spotlight on Saturday night. It's just like ACC Commissioner John Swofford drew it up, though it's taken a while to get to this place."Any time those two teams play it's one of the great rivalries in college football," Swofford said Wednesday. "It's good to see it back to what it was for so many years, where so many of those games decided national championships. It's really good for those two programs, but also for our entire league for that once again to be the case."Any time any conference has two of its teams in the top 10 it's terrific. When it's two programs with the brand recognition they have, it's even better."When Miami entered the conference in 2004, it was only three years removed from a national championship and coming off a four-year run in which it went 46-4. Florida State was five years removed from its last national title, coming off a 10-3 season.It didn't seem like a stretch to think that the ACC would have a pair of perennial top-10 programs to carry the conference's banner. They were put in different divisions so the possibility existed of multiple Miami-FSU games in some seasons.It didn't work out that way.Miami hasn't had a 10-win season since entering the ACC. Florida State went from 2004 through 2010 without winning more than nine games in a season."With those brands being what they are, and have been what they are for such a long time, I don't think anybody would have thought a decade would go by without there being a Miami-Florida State ACC championship game," Swofford said.The last time both were in the top 10 when they played was 2005, but that was the opening weekend of the season. To find a game similar to this, you'd have to go back to 2003, pre-ACC for Miami, when both were 5-0 and ranked in the top 10 and Miami beat the Seminoles 22-14 in Tallahassee.Instead of two super powers to anchor the conference, the ACC had two big names that never quite lived up to their reputations.Things started to turn at Florida State in 2010, when Jimbo Fisher took over for Hall of Fame coach Bobby Bowden. After going 12-2 last season, the Seminoles have taken another step forward this year and look primed to consistently reclaim a place among the nation's elite programs.Miami's turnaround under third-year coach Al Golden has been more involved, with the program dealing with NCAA issues, but the Hurricanes are off to their best start since 2003.FSU-Miami also marks the second time in less than a month that the biggest game of the week is in the ACC.Florida State's trip to Clemson had all the trimmings, too, including a visit by ESPN's College GameDay."I've said that over and over, fairly or unfairly leagues are judged primarily by how their best teams fare in the national championship picture and whether you have teams deep into the season that are involved in the national champ picture," Swofford said. "Perceptually so far this season has been very good for the ACC and how our entire league is received."Though the Seminoles' 51-14 victory at Clemson is big part of the reason why oddsmakers aren't giving Miami much of a chance.According to RJ Bell Bell of Pregame.com in Las Vegas, the 21 1/2-point line makes Florida State the largest favorite ever in a game between top-10 teams this late in the season.The picks:MAIN EVENTNo. 7 Miami (plus 21 1/2) at No. 3 Florida StateFYI, most lopsided score in the rivalry is 47-0.

The House Intelligence Committee approved legislation Nov. 21 that would set policy and funding levels for intelligence community programs for fiscal 2014, including efforts to modernize IT and target insider threats.
The measure would authorize full funding for a Director of National Intelligence initiative to modernize and consolidate technology, although it also includes reductions in other areas of IT.
The bill would authorize $75 million to target insider threats in the wake of the Edward Snowden leaks that have embroiled the National Security Agency in a spying scandal this year.
Other provisions in the bill, which was approved by voice vote, would:
An amendment from Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) included in the bill would order a declassification review of documents seized from Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, after the raid that killed the al-Qaeda leader.
Another amendment, by Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.), would expand opportunities for cybersecurity education.
"I am pleased that this committee continues to build upon the good, bipartisan work we began in 2011," Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said in a released statement.

Food scifi centered novel idea
- YAYME Apr 10, 2011 08:28 AM
I write for fun and so far no profit. But I've had this idea bouncing around my little head for at least six years. The idea is this food critics in the far future who go from restaurants to food festivals all over the galaxy. The novel will be humorous I hope gently poking fun at food writing, episodic in structure They'll be the adventure they have and the reviews/articles they write, also an exploration of food and culture. Good idea or bad idea?
Years ago I read a short scifi story about a culture obsessed with cooking - or rather with food synthesis. The judges in one competition were horrified to learn that a key ingredient in the winning entry was garlic - garlic that had been grown in dirt!
re: lawhound05
Just in their own time. They have a whole galaxy to explore!
Not a bad idea.
There was an episode on that old TV series Babylon 5 where the character G'Kar offered his compatriot a dish for their meal together which his dining companion went into rhapsodies about, eagerly asking how his host (G'Kar) had managed to get this dish from "home" (It was of the "comforting, feel-good, 'down-home' " type of food). IIRC G'Kar said it was actually something from the Earthlings called SWEDISH MEATBALLS (Heh!) and then commented that probably every civilization and race in the universe had some form of that very dish...
Michael Bond, of Paddington Bear fame, has written a detective series featuring Monsieur Pamplemousse and his bloodhound Pommes Frites. He's a retired Paris policeman now writing about food for Le Guide. There's a good amount of quirky humor, and some detailed descriptions of food, restaurant meals and otherwise.
re: paulj
In an aborted short story sci-fi story I almost wrote, I mentioned that most of the extraterrestial trade in the universe was in spices and produce. The reason for this, as set out in the story, was that spices produce and other organic products were really the only things that were unique to a given planet (gold is gold no matter where you get it, as are diamonds, and uranium etc) and not easily sythesized (due to thier complexity).
There was also a dystopian story I tried called "All Tomatoes are Red" about a future where alternate versions of vegetables (read "heirloom") are illegal, where all vegetables (and animals, except humans) are required to be perfect genetic clones of each other.
re: jumpingmonk
aww... you can do better than that!
Food Wars! Artificially gen-engineered food & viruses to kill off the competition. only your own produce is immune. except more than one person can make viruses...
re: Chowrin
that story has to end with eating dandelions, rose hips and rats. because who'd engineer those?
re: Chowrin
I think it would be much better if it was more along the lines of making everyone elses products fatal to a person; a virus where once you eat a bite of anyones food if you so much as come in contact with anyone elses you die (and its contagios so you family any anyone you come in contact with will catch your version). I suppose for sheer practicality it would also have to result in the creation of ommnifoods, where one food met all of your nutrional needs (a bit like Frank R. Stockholm's Cosmic Bean).
But the reason I was writing it that way was it was supposed to be a sort of 1984 homage, it's supposed to be what happens after the wars are over. Besides if I wrote it that way, it would probably come off sounding like a cross between "The Stuff" ( a movie I've never actually seen but have heard the plot of about an additicive ice cream subsititue) and Robert Asprin's Cold Cash War. There is also the fact that, to be honest a lot of what I though would happen seems to be happening in real life; dystopian fantasy isn't fun when you think it really is going to happen.
and as for the rose hip thing I'd think a key point would have to be that either the corportations would kill off anything else that a person could eat or else the food would be funamentally addictive so that you had to keep eating it to live.
re: jumpingmonk
No credit for partial recycling. HAS to be a brand new wellspring of creativity.
re: Veggo
Which is why I never finished the story, it ended up sounding like someone elses. Plus of course everythign I write turns out bleak to the point of agonizing (I have a great skill at being life denying and coming up with diabolis ex machinas. It might be a viable wellspring in itself, but I'm no Harlan Ellison, and I know it.)
re: jumpingmonk
Dune is all about the spice trade. :)
Mutate a four wing-ed chicken for us, a feathered biplane if you will, so I can get out of Hooters after 10 wings, extra blue cheese, and 2 drafts for under 25 bucks.
Try to find "The Slaves of Spiegel" by Daniel Pinkwater. Meant for younger audiences, but still very entertaining. It's sort of similar to what you describe, and even though the food described is totally bizarre and outlandish I can't help trying to imagine what the dishes taste like.
re: bworm42
Agreed, though when you consider the kinds of things that go into a Day of Wrath, a Moron's Delight or any of the other taste treats the Magic Moscow dieshed out BEFORE Sargon and his fellow Fat Men from Outer Space showed up, most of the food at the competition sounded pretty tame (though I was tempted to try and make Horthian Florff once, didn't have a big enough blender) I also might have like to try wresteling a giant Taraxian Shrimp before trying to fry it.
Actually a Lot of Pinkwaters work revolves around food, the food stand in Borgel (plus the Chef Chows hot and spicy oil and the Great Popsicle) Bignose's Cafeteria from the Snarkout Boys books, the cafe in Blue Moose, The Muffin Powered rocket in the Muffin Thief........

November 1909. "These boys work off and on in Cumberland Glass Works, Bridgeton, N.J. Smallest boy is George Cartwright, 401 N. Laurel Street. He says been working off and on since 11 years old." Photo by Lewis Hine. View full size.
George C. Cartwright was single, still working for Cumberland Glass Works in Bridgeton, had light colored hair and blue eyes while he had a medium build and was of medium height. He resided at 396 Laird in Bridgeton and was natural born on 15 February 1896 in Woodstown, New Jersey and had no physical impairments as of 5 June 1917.
According to the 1910 Federal Census, the Cartwright family was boarding with the widow Ruth Sooy and her family in an intimate gathering of 13 people. It looks like all of the residents of that neighborhood worked at the glass factory.
George, 14, his widower father Charles, 47, and his older brother Charles H., 22, were working at various jobs at the glass factory. George had only missed two weeks of work but we can't fault him since he was attending school as well. Henry, 12, was a slacker and not working at the time but the odds are good that he would soon find gainful employment.
That kid is not on the level.
I don't know about George, but the other boy looks like he's planning some sort of mischief!
The abused young, old and in-between, seem to enjoy being photographed.

I created this dress for a friend's birthday party. The fabric was from the stash pile and is either silk, silky cotton or perhaps cotton silk! I did a burn test and it burnt to ash so there are no synthetic fibres. The bodice is modified from a bridesmaid dress pattern in March 2011 issue (sorry, can't find it on here) and the skirt is self-drafted from a double circle skirt. The sash is from a double layer of 3 metres of chiffon.
More details and photos over at ooobop!

From Office of the General Assembly—Immigration
Farms rely on immigrant labor to help plant, tend, and harvest the fruits and vegetables that are grown in the US. These are low-paying low skill jobs that historically US citizens have been hesitant to take. To help meet the needs of farmers, the US government has a temporary worker program known as the H-2A temporary foreign agricultural worker program. However, demand far outweighs the availability of these visas. There are three million agricultural jobs that are available each year. Yet in 2007 the Department of State issued 50,791 H-2A visas. The very limited number of visas available for ...
Aid to Veterans Follows the Way of Love

Many family members and loved ones of recent veterans wonder how to be helpful to veterans after their deployments. Unfortunately, in the realm of human behavior, one size does not fit all. There is no guide to what to say. Veterans will have had very different experiences in war-time deployments. The nature of how they have been impacted by their experiences may take time to realize.

PLEASE help! files missing
Ok so out of no where all my files disappeared. The weird thing is all the folders are still there but all files are gone. (pics, docs u name it) Oddly enough it still reports the same data on the HDD so its like they are there but i cant see them. Ive tried doing restore points but nothing is there. Im guessing ive been hack or virus or something how can i get them back. I have a feeling they have been changed to hidden or something... please help
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Ultimate x64/Windows 8 Consumer Preview x64/Ubuntu 11.04
Hi joshuadjohnson2,
To see all of your hidden files and folders, click on your Start button and type in regedit (and press enter).
Navigate to the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOW ALL
There should be a key called CheckedValue. Double click it and modify it to 1.
You should now be able to see all the hidden files/folders. Hope that helped.
|My System Specs
|29 May 2011
Install, update and run a full scan with Malwarebytes.
Try System Restore
to before the problem began.
|My System Specs
|29 May 2011
ive tried all above and no change. I was able to use the malware thing to remove 1 trojan virus. Hkey was already at 1, ad it deleted the restore points.... anything else? thanks for the offers
|My System Specs
|29 May 2011
Try running Recuva over a specific folder (follow the wizard to go to browse to a specific location).
Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download
|My System Specs
|29 May 2011
If Malwarebytes found a trojan then run another Full Scan to see if it is clean now. Install also Avast 6 and (if 32 bit) run a Boot scan to go even deeper. Keep Avast as your AV with the Windows 7 Firewall.
Now see if you can repair damage done by the infection: SFC -SCANNOW Command
If your files don't reappear, try next a Repair Install.
|My System Specs
|29 May 2011
Running an
sfc /scannow
at an elevated command prompt is worth trying
A Repair Install will require the Windows installation disk.
A file recovery program like Recuva will give you an indication of how recoverable your files are with a damaged file system.
|My System Specs
|29 May 2011
I'd feel better if this post was in Security because there may be known viruses that make files disappear but still hold the disk space, Or the viruses that delete files may show similar behavior.
|My System Specs
|30 May 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
give this a try:
Unhide.exe (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/unhide.exe) (by Grinler)
Once the program has been downloaded, double-click on the Unhide.exe icon on your desktop and allow the program to run. This program will remove the +H, or hidden, attribute from all the files on your hard drives. If there are any files that were purposely hidden by you, you will need to hide them again after this tool is run."
Next run an online scan:
ESET Online Scanner:
Note: You can use either Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox for this scan. You will however need to disable your current installed Anti-Virus, how to do so can be read here.
Vista/Windows 7 users: You will need to to right-click on the either the IE or FF icon in the Start Menu or Quick Launch Bar on the Taskbar and select Run as Administrator from the context menu.
Note: Do not forget to re-enable your Anti-Virus application after running the above scan!

December 13th and 14th I will offer our next Singer Futura 2 day seminar. As a beginning embroidery student learn to stabilize and position your embroidery. See how you can find embroidery on the internet, download and load the designs into your computer. We start out the class by making files and learning how to categorize and store your embroidery, what embroidery formats you can use and how to copy and paste files so you can find them later. We will then use a printed template to position and sew out a design. Next we will explore the functions of the basic Singer Futura embroidery software.
Class is scheduled for Saturday 10am till 5pm. Learn to use auto punch and the lettering options. Make your own monogram and embroider it out. Next learn to do a auto punch embroidery. If you have the endless hoop we will use it, if not we will work with templates to create continuous borders.
To enroll call Hancock in Salisbury, MD at 410-677-3461. Hope to see you there!

I, like our own Megan, don't have mad cooking skills. Plus, I have a bunch of annoying dietary restrictions, making it even more challenging when I want to whip up something non-frozen. So this no-bake, low-sugar anytime treat is actually a pretty bad-ass solution for those two problems: easy, super nom-worthy, and fits my needs. Maybe it fits yours, too?

Deer lawd — the easiest way to keep deer from eating your tulips
Here in the U.S., we have a lot of deer. So many in my area that we often see them chilling by the side of the road like it ain't no thing. And for those of you who grow flowers in your garden, you might know that they enjoy eating the fine delicacy that is your colorful tulips. Here's my favorite way to keep them from chowing down.
Let's talk about the sociology of engagement rings (and win a free necklace, too!)
We recently had a lot of discussion about engagement rings over on Offbeat Bride. They are one of those cultural phenomenons that is just super intriguing. Adrianne from our longtime sponsor, Turtle Love, also finds it interesting and is on a mission to create thoughtful dialogue about the industry and perspectives from all kinds of people and communities (especially those not immersed in wedding planning).
An online course in relationship skills for the communication-challenged
You might already know Everyday Feminism from their amazing and transformative online courses that Offbeat Homies have loved. It started with learning to love your body, then it was making time for self love, and now it's RELATIONSHIP LOVE! The Relationship Course: Turning Love into a Daily Practice is a course that's going to be especially applicable to Offbeat Bride alumni (newly-married feels and how to deal?!), and those of us who could really use some lessons in healthy communication and good habits while in a relationship.
An online course on self-love that isn't what you're thinking
Shame, judgment, and self-hatred is an epidemic of massive proportions. We've talked about Every Feminism courses before (including this one which still has spots open!), and we know they are top-notch for changing hearts and minds for the better. One of their fall courses is particularly apt: Everyday Self-Love: Turning Self-Love into a Daily Habit.
Love your body with a Summer of Body Love online course
Let's talk about body love. Not that kind of body love (though we like that, too), but rather loving and respecting your body as it is (and not how you think it should be — smaller, bigger, greener, more made of money, etc.). That's why we are psyched about this online course called Summer of Body Love offered by Everyday Feminism.

Found February 06, 2013 on Start 'N' Park Blog:
PLAYERS: Brad Keselowski
The NASCAR season is back upon us and it is time to get you caught up with everything that happened in the offseason. Start 'N' Park Blog will be going through their list of drivers running the full schedule in 2013 and telling you what you can expect from those drivers in the new year. Today's entry is the driver of the #2 Miller Lite Ford, defending Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski. Driver: Brad Keselowski #2 Sponsor(s): Miller Lite Make: Ford Team: Penske Racing Crew Chief: Paul Wolfe 2012 Finish: 1st What's new for 2013: Keselowski and his Penske Racing team will be in Fords for 2013 now that Dodge has exited the sport. He will also have a sporty new paint job for the year. Mike's Rank: 3rd Mike's Take: My first feeling was they will struggle out of the gate with the switch to Ford, but since the Chase evens everything out that shouldn't be an issue. What I didn't like about the last race in 2012 is Keselowski almost lost the championship still. He was running 15th or so while Johnson was knocking on the door. They need to go for the throat on those types of races to guarantee they win, not run average, and hope the others fall apart. Jason's Rank: 3rd Jason's Take: Keselowski will follow up his championship season with an even better season in the wins/consistency column but he'll just barely lose the championship to Hamlin and fall to third behind Johnson. Keselowski will be in victory lane a lot this season. Brandon's Rank: 2nd Brandon's Take: Kesloweski won based off of consistency, but for the long haul, Brad will win several races in 2013 and have a shot to defend. Brittany's Rank: 1st Brittany's Take: Ever since I started following NASCAR, Keselowski has been my pick and he has yet to prove me wrong.

Both the House of Delegates and the senate passed their version of the bills Tuesday, February 8, which would give all public universities in the state basic autonomy.
The bills would allow for more flexibility in things like tuition, construction, and personnel.
"What's in the framework is pretty far–reaching," said Colette Sheehy, VP of Management & Budget for UVA. "Now what we're actually able to negotiate with the administration and the general assembly is something different."
It also establishes three levels of autonomy, based on the school's finances and operations. The universities would operate under a six-year financial and academic plan.
Any school in the top two levels would have to negotiate a contract with the state government, which outlines the universities plans for tuition and the ratios of in-state and out-state students. UVA would apply for the top level.
"We're very excited," said Sheehy. I think this is a major step forward in higher education for the commonwealth."
However, others are still not that excited about the covered institution status. Opponents have concerns about tuition skyrocketing and the university's employees.
"There'll be a two-tiered labor force. The new employees starting will not have the benefits, pay, anything, like the old employees," said Jan Cornell, President of SUUVA CWA.
But university officials say there are measures in place to for employees.
"It leaves open to the Board of Visitors the ability to set policies for future employees," said Cornell.
The bill was changed to include all state, public universities after some officials were concerned with elitism. All the institutions would still be state agencies. The bill does still have to get approval from Governor Warner by March 28.

Bang! Bang! doesn't waste any time living up to its name exclamation points and all on The Dirt That Makes You Drown. The opening track, "What We Need," rocks the way you only wish the latest Stooges album would rock. It's a sonic explosion touched off by a riff that channels every great garage-punk riff (and more than likely steals a few), but which is played too fast the way it should be. Then, the singer takes the mic and shows you everything he's learned about what badass is supposed to sound like, dripping attitude all over every nuance of being "Fucked up by the goddamn games that they play." But while they rarely ease up on the energy or attitude, there's more to the Chicago band than those opening moments of raucous post-Stooges abandon would suggest. By "Prefab Nation," the CD's second track, they're already bringing quirky New Wave keyboards to the table, suggesting a punkier B-52s with bassist Gretta Fine on high-pitched wails. Fine's true moment of glory, though, is a B-movie monologue, "She Came From Outer Space," in which she comes on like the missing link between the Shangri-Las and Karen O.

Firefighters gained the upper hand overnight on the Applegate Fire burning in Placer County as all evacuation orders were lifted Sunday.
A KCRA 3 investigation found only six illegal campfire citations have been issued on Sacramento's parkway this year, despite an unprecedented number of fires -- and drought conditions across the state.
A Cal Fire air tanker that crashed into a canyon wall in Yosemite National Park last week, killing the pilot, might have struck a tree as it approached a wildfire, tearing off a wing, federal investigators said Wednesday.
The nearly week-old Applegate Fire is almost fully contained, Cal Fire said on Tuesday.
Hundreds of residents were allowed back into their homes Friday in Weimar, north and south of the Applegate Fire.
Fire crews have significantly increased their containment of a fire at the edge of Yosemite National Park where an air-tanker pilot fighting the blaze died last week.
A Northern California man was arrested Saturday on charges of starting a wildfire that devastated the lumber town of Weed last month, authorities said.
Containment is up to 55 percent as fire crews battling the Applegate Fire in Placer County continue to make progress.
The fire in Yosemite National Park that led to the death of an air tanker pilot continues to burn, and its containment levels decreased Friday morning, according to park officials.
Fire crews worked feverishly throughout the day Thursday to keep at least four fires burning north of the American River Canyon from jumping to the south.
Seven Hong Kong police officers have been arrested for assault over an alleged case of police brutality at pro-democracy protests last month which shocked residents of the Chinese territory.

If you read the Google blog or the coverage on Search Engine Land, you might be rejoicing that supplemental results are no more
It has been described as lipstick on a pig and others have just offered tips on site indexing.
What Happened To My /* Search Query?
Before this change, one of the tools still available to SEO practitioners to give an indication of the depth of site indexing was to add /* to the end on a site: search query.
Thus you would use
site:andybeard.eu/ – this would return the total pages supposedly indexed
site:andybeard.eu/* – this would return the number of pages in the primary index
By subtracting one from the other, you get some indication of the number of pages that might be in the supplemental results.
The numbers changed on a daily basis, and by datacenter, and were a little unpredictable, but it at least gave some indication.
Some sites I routinely checked for comparison were seo book, Michael Gray, Seomoz, Sphinn, Search Engine Land, Search Engine Journal, Bumpzee, Blogcatalog, Mybloglog and a number of others.
Typically Seo Book and Michael Gray had very deep index penetration, with above 90% of their pages in the primary index as indicated by /*
Many of the higher output SEO blogs faired far worse, with sometimes less than 50% primary index penetration, but far more total pages in the primary index.
Site structure makes a huge difference – if you have lots of duplicate content pages such as extensive use of tagging, you might end up with a fair number of those pages in the Supplemental Index because they do not receive a huge amount of links from external sources, and many receive a very small percentage of internal linking.
They would however still rank well for long tail search queries because of the different title tag, and combinations of content presented.
A wider net sometimes has bigger holes…
/* Now Returns Significantly Fewer Results
SEO Book now returns less than 50% of pages with /*
Michael manages 50%
SEOmoz has less than 20%
Search Engine Land seems to be fairing well with close to 75%, actually more than previously (I seem to remember less than 50%)
Search Engine Journal also manages close to 75%, again more than previously (again it was less than 50%)
I have dropped down to around 30% what was previously 85%, though my site structure isn't quite the same as I had it before WordPress 2.3.1 (I still need to get some plugins modified)
Site structure might have had as much as a 10 or 20% difference, but not more.
I still see very little difference in Search traffic or positioning
I Don't Know What It Means…
- It could be some datacenter issues that mean that only a small percentage of sites have so far been updated
- I am currently discounting this being some kind of penalty
- Rather than reducing the size of the supplemental index, Google might now be storing the majority of pages in Supplemental, and effectively have a "super primary" index instead.
- The tool could just be broken or set to give random results
I can understand the removal of supplemental results from the primary SERPs, but /* was actually quite useful. If supplemental results have disappeared, you would expect it to return the same number of pages as the search query without /*
Why do we have a useful tool fubarred?

After a century of empty promises, Minneapolis officials are finally poised to spruce up the polluted waterway that meanders through the city's north side. What changed? The buying power of the people who will live there.
All Dennis Williams wanted was a job with the city of Minneapolis. After five years of bureaucratic torture, what he ended up with was three months in jail and a shot at serious prison time.
The likely demolition of over 700 public housing units in north Minneapolis will scatter people who live there and open up 73 acres of prime real estate at downtown's edge. Is it a matter of civic renewal or a land grab?

ovirt will be the default for RHEL/CENTOS/Fedora10
Found this post via Google looking for a Xen Veeam equivilant after Citrix upped the ante again - Citrix Systems Products » XenServer/Essentials XenServer
Only 'Enterprise' features missing now are things like HA.
Anyway, must get back to lurking. Hope that helps
Oooooo..... crispy features!
Does it really mean free.. or is it still a purchase product as there's a try/buy link on the right.
Just signed up and grabbed the ISO and key for the XenServer Essentials...
Oh yeah baby... two words.... HIGH AVAILABILITY!The new free Citrix XenServer will be available on March 25.
You can get started right now, by downloading this software and applying this license key, which will enable the features of Citrix XenServer, PLUS two key features of the upcoming Citrix Essentials for XenServer:
High availability
StorageLink technology for NetApp and Dell EqualLogic
Youll be able to update your software when the new free XenServer is available by applying a simple update file and continue to use your virtual machines and XenCenter management sessions.
Sold... Downloaded... Burning... About to go on my servers......
<madEvilLaugh><heavyReverb>mwuahahahahahahahahahah ahaha</heavyReverb></madEvilLaugh>
Just installed it from the ISO downloaded from Citrix and it is saying HA is available and booted several Virtual Machines in HA mode.... which is reporting fine.
From what I can see, you get central administration free now with XenServer and they've bundled HA for free in this download....!?
I just want central management - not overly worried about HA, but this seems to be running HA out of the box as it were.
I await VMWare's response with interest!!
Looks like the Essentials part is the bit you pay for, I assume you've got a 30 day trial of the features atm
Even just the server without essentials looks rather good, just can't run it on my servers without VM extensions on the chip
Yeah I think VMWare must be gearing up for a release with more bundled into it...
I've got this running on an iSCSI SAN using OpenFiler - was pretty straightforward to set up. I'm sold with the central administration now I know it's free.
Could be an interesting month of Citrix v VMWare v M$ ahead...
One thing I have noticed, which is to be expected at this early stage in the technologies proprietary life cycle, there is limited interoperability between environments.
Centralised management tools are now starting to see the light of day that support all three major platforms and so are a number of third party apps to convert between the various HD file formats (.vhd, .vmdk, etc).
But it is still a major pain in the to either switch from one platform to another, or worse still run a mixed platform environment.
Don't you love the way products change overnight? The feature comparison matrix is available at Citrix Systems XenServer Editions

All good experiences, until I bought the 2012 traverse for my wife and kids.
It�s been problematic since day one.
Problems include vibration noises from the exhaust (it took 3 tries to fix that), front speaker works sometimes (not fixed yet), air bag light comes on often (6 attempts, still not fixed), it�s had motor mounts replaced� etc.
Tried to get some help from GM to get trade-in assistance to by another new chevy traverse, they offered ZERO dollars.
Asked for to extend the warenty as it will expire at 36000 miles and I have 30,000� they said no to that too.
Asked for a loaner while it in the shop� no to that too, only if it stays over night.

Purchased This vehicle 2 weeks ago. Purchased the base model for about 25,500 not including taxes.
Overall our family enjoys it, quite comfortable ride. We had 2 snow storms and it performed very well.
Inside is very roomy.
I would give this vehicle all 5's if it lasts.
The only low point is the gas mileage at this point averaging 17mpg with mostly city driving. Only one complaint is that the vehicle did not come with a spare tire. Dealer wanted 850 dollars extra for it.
Save yourself money and call some salvage yards. I picked up all the parts for under 250.

This is my first review and first SUV, The new Chevy Traverse is great, it is a family friendly and works for me being a disable driver. The lift gate is easy to use, cargo area great for my wheelchair. My children are growing so the adjustable seating on the second row is wonderful.
