Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

My own feeling is that the question is subject to a pretty broad spectrum of regional interpretations. What may set the dates for medieval Britain may be (and almost certainly is) different from what establishes similar trends in Italy or Japan. For myself, I'd identify the Middle Ages in Britain as being between the beginning of the end for Roman occupation -- 407-410 C.E., and, roughly, Bosworth Field. It would be different for some other locale. With regard to there being a Culinary Renaissance in 1600, I'm not seeing it. While New World foods do begin to emerge as significant at around this time in some parts of Europe, I'd have to say that the changes in eating habits, at least those represented by written recipes, are far more evident between, say, 1550 and 1590 CE than they are in most of the actual 17th century. Putting it another way, there seem to be more important changes ushered in by, or around the time framed by, say from "A Newe Proper Book of Cookery" and the works of Dawson, than the period framed by Plat or Markham, to Digby. By the time of Elizabeth I's death, the shift is already quite well established -- more sugar in use, egg yolks and butter become more important as thickeners than bread crumbs, galingale, grains of paradise and cubebs are starting to be phased out (but ginger, pepper, cloves, mace and nutmeg still going strong), pastry becomes more clearly edible and less of a durable container, etc. Perhaps, again, this applies more to some locations than to others.

The robb'd that smiles steals something from the thief: He robs himself that spends a bootless griefWilliam Shakespeare
Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from those very things for which you are angry and grieved.Unknown
Oh that it were possible, After long grief and pain, To find the arms of my true love, Around me once againAlfred
To bury grief plant a seed.German Proverb
What we call mourning for our dead is perhaps not so much grief at not being able to call them back; as it is grief at not being able to want to do soThomas Mann
Patch grief with proverbsWilliam Shakespeare
Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance.Robert Frost
Tears are the silent language of griefVoltaire
My grief lies all within, And these external manners of lament Are merely shadows to the unseen grief That swells with silence in the tortured soulWilliam Shakespeare
Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.Joss Whedon
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.Robert Fulghum
Sorrows cannot all be explained away in a life truly lived, grief and loss accumulate like possessions.Stefan Kanfer
Instead of weeping when a tragedy occurs in a songbird's life, it sings away its grief. I believe we could well follow the pattern of our feathered friends.Unknown
Love and grief our hearts dividing, With our tears His feet we bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from His death.James Allen
From the retinue of Mynyddog they hastened forth; in a shining array they fed together round the wine-vessel. My heart has become full of grief for the feast of Mynyddog, I have lost too many of my true kinsmen.Aneirin
Newton and Descartes started to try and prove that God existed in the same way as they would try and prove something in the laboratory or with their mathematics And when you try and mix science and religion you get bad science and bad religion. The two are doing two different things. ... Science can give you a diagnosis of cancer. It can even cure your disease, but it cannot touch your grief and disappointment, nor can it help you to die well.Karen Armstrong
Give me a land of boughs in leaf A land of trees that stand; Where trees are fallen there is grief; I love no leafless land.A.E. Housman
But woman's grief is like a summer storm, Short as it violent is.Joanna Baillie
Grief is not productive. It simply represents an inefficiency in accepting change of status.Gregory Dale Bear
I entreat you to devote one solemn hour of thought to a crucified Saviour a Saviour expiring in the bitterest agony. Think of the cross, the nails, the open wounds, the anguish of His soul. Think how the Son of God became a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, that you might live forever. Think as you lie down upon your bed to rest, how your Saviour was lifted up from the earth to die. Think amid your plans and anticipations of future gaiety, what the redemption of your soul has cost, and how the dying Saviour would wish you to act. His wounds plead that you will live for better things.Albert Barnes
The parable of a man greedy of this world is the parable of the silk worm: the more it winds the thread round itself the farther it becomes from salvation, until it dies of grief.al-Baqir, Muhammad

That offshore wind's still blowing…
We've published three fairly lengthy stories in the newspaper lately about the New York Power Authority's plans to locate an electricity-generating wind farm in the near-shore waters of Lake Ontario or Lake Erie. It's a bold idea though, as we've reported, hardly unique — there are almost too many offshore wind proposals floating around the Great Lakes to keep track of.
We've tried to provide a good introduction to the power authority's concept in our stories, but because it's such a new and untested concept — there are no offshore turbines in the Great Lakes or anywhere else in North America — there remains a demand for good information.
So we'll try to provide a bit more here in blog. For starters:
The visualization image above, which was created by staff photographer Jay Capers. After it was published Sunday with our latest story on the subject, I had one or two e-mails from readers who said the wind turbines didn't look "big enough." I understand, in that I've seen photographs of real or simulated offshore turbines in which they look alternately huge or tiny. In fact, here's one I ran across a few weeks ago. It's from a General Electric brochure for the company's 3.6 megawatt offshore turbines; the image shows actual turbines six miles off the coast of Ireland.
The turbines look enormous — much larger than the ones in our image, even though they're roughly the same height. I know virtually nothing about photography, but my guess is the Ireland photo overstates the size of the turbines. Jay set out to be more accurate, and I believe Jay succeeded. His methodology is explained here, where you also can turn on and off the turbines in the image (it makes them easier to see).
Host benefits? The Power authority's chief executive, Richard Kessel, bristled when I passed on one shoreline resident's suggestion that people who own property near offshore turbines get cheap NYPA hydropower in compensation. But he did say the authority might offer other benefits, presumably financial, to munucipalities on the shoreline. These are commonplace for land-side turbines, though the amounts paid vary wildly. Scandia Wind, seeking to build two offshore wind farms in Lake Michigan, has offered a choice of financial benefits to shoreline towns and counties.
Power authority officials also suggested to me that shoreline towns and counties have "taxing jurisdiction" over the Lake Ontario bottomland where turbines would be built, raising the possibility of property taxes on turbines. I haven't found any local officials yet who can verify they have that authority.
So what authority do shoreline towns have? Kessel has said he wouldn't propose siting an offshore wind farm where it's not wanted. But he also has said that towns and counties don't have any legal control over offshore development. There is one wrinkle he didn't mention — local waterfront revitalization plans developed by communities under the federal coastal zone management program. Towns along the Lake Ontario and Lake Erie shoreline can get state aid to help develop these revitalization plans, which are meant to guide shoreline work.
The question is whether towns that have adopted waterfront revitalization plans placing a high value on the view of uncluttered blue water – the town of Greece seems to be one example of this - would have the right to approve or disapprove turbines that disrupt that view. I've talked to a lawyer or two who weren't sure. Terry Yonker, a western New Yorker who co-chairs the Great Lakes Wind Collaborative, said having such a plan "would certainly give them some standing to have a voice in the matter. It could play out eventually in the courts."
When does no mean no? Kessel said doesn't consider the we-don't-want-it-here votes by county lawmakers in Wayne, Oswego and Jefferson counties to be the final word on the matter. "We're not taking anyone off the list now," he said during a visit last week to the Democrat and Chronicle editorial board. He said lawmakers might have second thoughts once a specific project is proposed.
But Kessel continued on to say that Jefferson County, where he apparently judges opposition to be strongest, might be in a different category. "If any project is proposed for Jefferson County, it's very unlikely we would pick it based on what we saw there."

Kevin Blackwell bemoaned his Bury side's defensive lapses after two quick goals proved their downfall in a defeat at Colchester.

Two goals in four second-half minutes from Anthony Wordsworth and Freddie Sears gave the U's victory and ended their run of three straight defeats.
Blackwell said: "Fair play to Colchester - they dug in when they needed to and they got the clean sheet as well. Their keeper made two good saves and came and got some crucial crosses.
"We came out after half-time as the dominant side, but we gave them their first goal after we had possession of the ball.
"There's no need to do what he's done and we gave away a stupid goal and that gave them a lift, which was all that they needed. It just shows you that if you play in the wrong areas, that's exactly what can happen.
"We were the better team after half-time and we knew we had to stop Colchester playing in certain areas, which we sorted out. We'd have come here three weeks ago and got battered."

|I fell in love with Bella Anna and bought one by mail order last summer to plant in honor of my daughter (her name is Anabela). I planted it next a small mophead and some day lilies in my backyard. It did well (3-4 blooms)all summer. I deadheaded the blooms but did not prune at all and left it alone all winter. Spring has sprung early on LI and my older mophead and lacecap hydrangeas are all budding, but my Bella Anna looks dead. Nothing is budding on the old wood stems. I am new to gardening and don't know what to expect. Will my Bella Anna sprout new from the ground, or does it sound like its done?

|'Bella Anna' is a pink flowered form of Hydrangea arborescens, a very hardy species that flowers on both old and new growth. IME, arborescens/smooth leaved hydrangeas are later than other species to bud or leaf out so I would not be overly concerned at this point in time. That is not to say that all is well - some plants just don't make it past their first season regardless - but I'd exercise patience for the time being......give it another month to 6 weeks before deciding. FWIW, it will not hurt nor affect blooming to cut it back at this time if you wish.
- Posted by Springwood_Gardens SW PA 6A (My Page) on Thu, Mar 15, 12 at 18:45
|Try cutting a skinny stem off close to the base. If it's white or maybe a little green then your plant is healthy. Otherwise look for small brown buds at the nodes going up the stems - in about a month look for new growth from these buds and expect some kind of flower from each, providing there is enough nutrients, sun and the deer don't eat them...
|She's alive! She was later than my other hydrangeas but now there are lots of buds and I'm looking forward to some lovely blooms. Thanks!
|Bella Anna is an arborescens type of Hydrangea, meaning it blooms on new wood only. The old wood should be cut down to the ground in late fall, after leaves drop, or early spring before new growth begins.
|The arborescens CAN be cut to the ground, but they don't need to be in order to bloom well. If you prune to the ground, you'll get fewer, larger blooms, and if you prune less, you'll get more, but smaller blooms. Many people prune to 12 - 18" to provide some framework for the current season's growth, and some people prune one plant's stems to several different heights.
I've typically pruned to about 15" (Annabelle), but this is my first year over-wintering Bella Anna. Last year I didn't prune my Incrediballs and they bloomed beautifully. This year I didn't prune any of my arborescens - not Bella Anna, Annabelle, nor Incrediball.

|I bought 'Bella Anna' last summer too based on high praise from the local horticulturalists here on LI. Anyway, I thought a lot of it was dead until I moved back the mulch and saw new stems emerging from below. I did prune off an obviously dead stem. I hope the flower remains pink in color in our overly acidic soils here.

The First International CSPP / IAPPS Symposium
New Management Strategies for Insects and Diseases of Rice
Beijing, China, Oct. 25-26, 2012
(The Second Announcement)
Rice, a staple food for over half of the worlds�� population is a key to food security, social stability and the economy. Today, in many Asian and African countries, rice production is threatened by the shortage of arable land and water. In addition, insects and diseases are two major threats that cause severe yield losses in epidemic years. In the past two decades the frequent and improper application of chemicals, for insect and disease control, has caused the development of insect and pathogen resistance, affected farmers�� health, damaged the environment and reduced biodiversity. It is thus imperative that we review some of the critical issues concerning the development of more effective, sustainable, environmentally sound and socially acceptable strategies for insect and disease management. In conjunction with the 2012 annual meeting of the China Society of Plant Protection (CSPP), CSPP and the International Association for the Plant Protection Sciences (IAPPS) is co-sponsoring the first international joint symposium to discuss the following topics:
Why are planthoppers such a serious problem in Asia now?
What ecological engineering approaches can play a role in rice insect management?
Is the host plant resistance (HPR) approach suitable for the management of rice insect pests?
Rapid insecticide resistance development - Where do we go from here?
Plantwise �C New framework for integrating pest management.
What are the best integrated approaches to rice diseases when HPR is not effective?
What is the impact of abiotic stresses on rice disease development and epidemics?
How do we achieve durable resistance by using both major and minor resistance genes?
What is the effect of multilines and crop rotation for rice blast disease control?
What are the effective control methods for emerging RSV and RBSDV diseases?
What are the current status and potentials of bio-control approaches for rice diseases?
What is the role of epidemiology in plant disease forecasting and control?
What are some truly novel/out-of-the-box strategies for future durable resistance?
Can we achieve a strategic approach to future plant protection in rice that involves major stakeholders and achieves productive and resilient outcomes?

Professor, Santa Fe Institute
Vice President for Science, Santa Fe Institute
Jennifer A. Dunne is the Vice President for Science at the Santa Fe Institute, where she has been on the faculty since 2007. Jennifer received an A.B. from Harvard where she studied philosophy, an M.A. in biology from San Francisco State University, a Ph.D. in Energy and Resources from UC Berkeley, and was awarded a NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biological Informatics. In 2004, she co-founded a small research institute, the Pacific Ecoinformatics and Computational Ecology Lab, which she continues to co-direct.
Jennifer's research interests are in analysis, modeling, and theory related to the organization, dynamics, and function of ecosystems. Much of this work focuses on ecological networks, in particular food webs, which specify the complex feeding interactions among species in a given habitat. Food webs provide a way to track and quantify the flow of energy and resources in ecosystems and thus play a central role in ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Drawing on cross-system analysis and computational modeling, Jennifer and her collaborators seek to identify fundamental patterns and principles of ecological network structure and dynamics at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Such research provides a useful framework for understanding the coexistence of species and the robustness, persistence, and stability of ecosystems, including how humans fit into and impact ancient, historic, and current ecosystems. In addition to basic research, Jennifer and her collaborators develop ecoinformatic technologies to facilitate sharing, synthesis, visualization, analysis, and modeling of data related to biocomplexity research. For more information, go to www.foodwebs.org.
Jennifer's publications have appeared in journals such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, Trends in Ecology and Evolution, PLoS Biology, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Ecology Letters, Ecology, and Ecological Monographs. Her work has been covered in media outlets including Scientific American, Wired, SmartPlanet, ScienceNow, and Nature News. She serves as an editor at Ecology Letters and the new Journal of Complex Networks, is a series editor for the Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution, and is on the advisory board of the new science magazine Nautilus.

Byon January 29, 2013
This morning, the Miami New Times published a lengthy, damning article about some illegal goings-on at Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic in Miami that has been selling human growth hormone, testosterone, and other performance-enhancing drugs to athletes for at least three years. Among those named are guys who've already been popped by Major League Baseball for doping like former San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland A's pitcher Bartolo Colon, and San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal alongside others like Texas Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz, Washington Nationals ace Gio Gonzalez, pro tennis player Wayne Odesnik, and up-and-coming Cuban boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa. The biggest name of all to the delight of many, surely is Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod, who previously claimed that he stopped using steroids nearly a decade ago, is reportedly all over Biogenesis's ledgers.
Wait ledgers? That's right. You might rightly question why a medical professional selling under-the-table drugs to professional athletes would keep detailed records of who bought what, when they bought it, and what they paid for it. Even when Anthony Bosch, the kingpin of this entire ring, was clever enough to disguise his clients and drugs with codenames, he helpfully provided the key within the same dossier of notebooks. As soon as a former employee handed over the notebooks to the New Times, it was all out of the bag. Guess Dr. Bosch never heard the note-taking advice of Stringer Bell.

Faces of the Hereafter: Radiant and Joyous
Paradise and Hell Series: Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI | Part VII | Part VIII
As we discussed in the last installment, our faces are the most honorable parts of our bodies. With our faces, we are able to express our emotions and feelings. Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) describes the faces of humankind in the hereafter to make their emotions more real so that we, in this lifetime, are able to imagine their expressions.
After Allah (swt) mentions the Day when family members will run away from their loved ones, He (swt) tells us:
"[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright – Laughing, rejoicing at good news." (Qur'an 80:38-39)
For the Believers, that Day will be one of celebration. They made it into Paradise, by God's Mercy:
"And as for those who were made to be happy, they will be in Paradise, abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will – a bestowal uninterrupted." (Qur'an 11:108)
When I think of celebrations, I immediately remember the crowds at Tahrir Square when Mubarak stepped down. I remember the happiness and joy on the faces of Egyptians. They were hugging each other, jumping up and down, waving their flags and chanting in celebration of their success.
Take that image and multiply it by a million. That will be the celebration of the Believers in the hereafter. Their joy will not come from winning a game, winning the lottery, or winning freedom for their country. Their joy will come from being among the special ones who receive the Mercy of Allah (swt) in its greatest manifestation. Their joy will come from being in Paradise with their beloved Messenger ﷺ (peace be upon him). Their joy will come from being saved from the Fire. Their joy will come from finally being with their Lord.
Their faces will beam with light and radiating expressions of happiness:
"[Other] faces, that Day, will show pleasure. With their effort [they are] satisfied in an elevated garden." (Qur'an 88:8-10)
Allah (swt) describes in another verse:
"[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant." (Qur'an 75:22)
Radiance implies beauty, so their faces will not only be joyous and smiling, but beautiful and glowing. Some Believers will be blessed with having the brightest of faces. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A group of my Ummah (community) consisting of seventy thousand persons would enter Paradise; their faces would be as bright as the brightness of the full moon." [Muslim]
If you have ever been outside during a full moon, then you know how bright it can be. The full moon gives off a serene light. Unlike the sun, it is not a light with intense heat. Looking directly at the sun can hurt your eyes, but looking directly at a full moon is enjoyable. The Prophet ﷺ used the example of the full moon to imply that their faces will be beautiful, radiant, and easy to look at.
Once, the Companions asked the Prophet ﷺ how he will recognize his followers that he has not met yet. He ﷺ told them: "My people would come with bright faces and bright hands and feet on account of the marks of ablution." [Muslim]
While we may not see the physical remnants of our wudu' (ablution) now, the parts of our body we wash in the course of our wudu' will be illuminated on the Day of Judgment. And what is even more amazing is that these marks of wudu' will be how our Prophet ﷺ will recognize us!
How did these bright and radiant faces look in the worldly life (dunya)?
They were humble and submissive:
"And they fall upon their faces weeping, and the Qur'an increases them in humble submission." (Qur'an 17:109)
Recognizable through their worship:
"[…] Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration. […]" (Qur'an 48:29)
Kind and forgiving:
"[…] [those] who restrain anger and who pardon the people – and Allah loves the doers of good." (Qur'an 3:134)
These faces were humble, obedient and kind during the worldly life, and Allah (swt) will bless them with glowing faces in the hereafter.

Jazak'Allahu Khairan for another beautiful part to this series – truly drives one to do more good, so that we may shine as bright as we can on that Day.
I hope that you all make it to Paradise as much as I hope you do, I hope that Allah will soon forgive all believers, because he is most forgiving. I want to strive harder, and quit crying, Islam proves that anything is possible, and that any loss in the cause of going to Paradise is well worth giving in to make it to the gardens.Ameen. Thank you, kindred Muslim.
I feel like this encourages me to do great things, and refrain from anything that has not been ordained by Allah. Ameen.
I really Proud of you. Thanks a lot. You are a very good Muslim You should be proud of your self
Very Nice

"Great cigar for the price"Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto
Wow this is such a nice cigar. Very nice flavor and burns well. These were worth every penny.B in KC, KS May 28, 2012
"Save your money!!!"Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto
What a letdown. Big Perdomo fan , but this was horrible!!!! No Taste, No character!!!!Scott in Mesa AZ May 25, 2012
"Let em rest!!"Perdomo Lot 23 Churchill
My revised review. Let these rest a minimum of 4-5 months, and you will be pleasantly surprised.Ryan May 9, 2012
"Smokeable"Perdomo Lot 23 Gordito
Not much to say about this one. Its smokeable. Nothing close to a 90+ rating. I'd give it a 85 at most. I've had some cheap churchills for a few bucks less with a lot more flavor and a way better finish than this. It was a rather boring tobacco flavor all the way down to the last 2" where it got so harsh and gross I finally put it out. Will not buy again. It also went out on me a few times and I am not horridly sparing with my puffs. After the halfway mark it needs to be puffed a little too often to make it stay lit.Ian in Columbus,Ohio May 1, 2012
"Flavorful....."Perdomo Lot 23 Churchill
Wow! Been smoking Cigars for about a year and this stick is my fave thus far. Ranked up there with the Cuban Cohiba I recently bought in Mexico. Try it!Joel in Aurora, CO April 26, 2012
"Whoa, whoa, whoa....hold on a minute"Perdomo Lot 23 Belicoso
I'm not saying this is a bad stick. I"m not saying that at all. What I am saying is that there is no way this is a 90+ rated stick. It's mild, the flavor profile is boring, and it is way over priced at 5.00 per cigar. This is a good value in the 2-3 dollar range. I'm genuinely puzzled by the rave reviews this is getting.Omar in Diamond Bar April 24, 2012
"Ok stogie"Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto
Good cigar, but only in the second third. First and last were a little harsh. I'm going to let em sit in the humi a bit longer. Burned very slow and evenly, def worth the money though.Jared in Se MA March 25, 2012
"Good flavor but?"Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto Connecticut
I liked the flavor and it had lots of thick smoke.The main problem with this cigar is construction.3 different 5-packs all had the same issues.The cap would flake no matter how it was cut.The huge band doesn't want to come off and will start the wrapper unraveling.Also,not one burned straight.In my opinion not worth the aggravation.HB in Charleston SC March 5, 2012
"Treat It Right and It Treats You Right"Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto
Bought this gem in the CT sampler pack (LOVE the tobacco we grow here). Construction was solid. The draw was super smooth. The light and burn was a tad finicky--bt nothing major. Plumes of creamy smoke. After the first 1/3 of the cigar, this baby takes off. Hazelnut notes, a great full body, and the nub has notes of amaretto. You MUST smoke it slowly. This is a tempermental cigar that will go bad if you're puffing on it every 10 seconds. Light it well, draw slow--and it's a great smoke.Steve in Seymour, CT February 22, 2012
"Earthy Undertone...?"Previous Next
First, I'm very new to cigars with only one year experience. I entered the existing ratings since I didn't feel qualified to rate this cigar and didn't wish to change the ratings. I purchased a 5 pack of the Lot #23 Maduros and they have been in my humidor for two months at 71 rh with wrappers removed. I used a double blade guillotine cutter, which has a backstop on one side, so as not to clip too much off. After cutting the cap, the outer wrapper unraveled about 1/2 inch. I licked it to make it stick back down. There was little or no resistance in the draw. At one point it burnt about 1/2 inch higher on one side, but I was able to correct it. I didn't time it, but I'd say I smoked it for around 45 minutes inwhich it had to be relit twice. I smoked a little over the 2/3's mark. It left me with a slight after taste which I liked. Here's the part that's hard for me to explain. The whole cigar had a slight undertoning taste of what I can only explain as dirt. It taste to me like a dirty ashtray smells. Is this the taste that everyone explains as, "Earthy...?" The taste was not overbearing, but just a taste that I do not care for. I guess I'm confused because I've smoked other cigars that had Earthy in the discription, but they tasted differently and not dirty. If anyone can explain this to me, I would really appreciate it. Presently I like, "Acid Kuba Kuba Natural, Acid Blondie (love these), Artisian Nic. Maduro Toro (first box of cigars I ever bought), Alec Bradley Tempus, Tabak Especial Toro Negra Maduro, Graycliff G2, La Campina Corona, Montecristo Classic while eating milk chocolate (ya gotta try this), Rocky Patel Sun Grown Natural, and Rock Patel American Market.

How do I know? I got an e-mail since I'm a registered user of geodata.gov (honest, I'd forgotten I was!). The e-mail details what's happening and when as does the front page of geodata.gov. It's all supposed to be done by Sept 30.
How do I know? I got an e-mail since I'm a registered user of geodata.gov (honest, I'd forgotten I was!). The e-mail details what's happening and when as does the front page of geodata.gov. It's all supposed to be done by Sept 30.
I admit it, I look at the headlines of press releases and if interesting, the first paragraph. But three press releases from last week required a revisit because the topics were so...interesting.
First off, Depiction, which offers a "what if" visualization tool announced (press release) at State of the Map apparently (I'm not sure why but I guess it uses OMS?) a new product: DepictionPrep. The idea: it's software to help you and your neighborhood prepare for an upcoming emergency. No details on pricing; it's coming this fall. I have mixed feelings about this and note that Glenn just shared another related offering: Safety Maps which creates a custom "we'll meet here in case of emergency" map for free and is built on OpenStreetMap. And licensed under CC.
Second, Fox, the bike shocks folks joined the Ant+ alliance teamed with and Garmin the GPS folks (press release) to walk users through setting up the suspensions on the their moutain bikes. It's a proof of concept that does not require GPS. As I undrstand it, sensors in the pumps (that serve as shock absorbers best I understand, I'm a road biker) talk to the Garmin Edge and walk the user through the process. You can then save different settings for different terrains. I wonder if this is a solution in search of a problem. I'll have to ask my mountain biking friends.
Finally and this is the most big brother of them all: CrowdOptic (press release) has a platform to keep track of where cell phones are "looking" during an event like a football game or a concert. Then, that information can be used to feed more info (say stats on the player) or ads (Time for a coke!). The release does not say but I'm guessing you'd have to give the company access to your location and compass info. Sadly, this also suggests that at such events people spend a good deal of their time taking pictures from, lookng through or looking at their phones.
At the end of FOSS4G 2011, I sat down with Peter Batty, conference chairman, to get his thoughts on the event. Batty commented that from an attendee perspective, the level of technical presentations is something you don't find at any other type of conference. As such, one of his goals as a new OSGeo board member is to maintain the high level of presentations. However, he would also like to introduce a business track into the event. He believes that the open source for newcomers workshop was also extremely valuable.
From now until October 8, every time someone checks in at any Walgreens branch in the US through Facebook Places or Foursquare, the drugstore retailer will donate one flu shot voucher to a deserving individual.

An emergency app to share whatever a cell phones sees/hears and its location with 911 dispatchers was developed by University of Maryland computer science professor Dr. Ashok Agrawala and a team of students at U Maryland. It's currently in use by a small group of students but from there will be explanded to the rest of the school and perhaps the community. Android now, maybe iPhone later.
Roximity won Ford's contest to integrate an app with Sync at the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon. Roximity, still in stealth until the announcement "will offer coupons based on a user's location, through either a smartphone app or, as the Ford development indicates, a car."

Rahm Emanuel is now on FourSquare as is a new (and the first!) city badge for Chicago called, of course, the Windy City Badge. (I deserve one after four years in Hyde Park...just sayin')
When we last checked in with this case, the appleate court had agreed with the county and said that it did not have to provide the geodata for free under the California Public Records Act. The Sierra Club appealed and word this week that the state's supreme court will take the case. (previous APB coverage 1, 2)

Drones set for state scrutiny
Lawmakers to craft policy for their use
HARTFORD — State lawmakers have launched a study into issues surrounding the use and regulation of unmanned aerial drones in Connecticut skies.
The results are expected to help guide deliberations next year on how the legislature might establish a legal framework governing how law enforcement, businesses and private citizens may use remote-controlled aircraft.

Councilman found dead after questioning
Authorities say a city councilman in central Iowa killed himself only hours after detectives found child pornography on his home computer.
Story County Sheriff's Capt. Barry Thomas confirmed Saturday that Zearing City Councilman Scott Frank shot himself in the basement of his home on Sept. 17. Only hours earlier, sheriff's officials searched Frank's home and confiscated his computer.
Thomas says investigators also questioned the 51-year-old councilman that day about several images of nude boys found on the computer.
Thomas says Frank was not arrested or charged and was released after questioning. Frank was found dead in his home later that evening.
Thomas says the criminal investigation has been closed because of Frank's death, but that investigators are still looking into whether any of the images are those of local victims.

SSB Interview call letter is an important document, but it is quite possible that you may not receive the letter at all... It may happen at times, and you yourself need to be alert.
You should be getting it around 3-4 weeks before the Interview date. From my own experiences, and those of many aspirants whom I have interacted with, here are some tips:
- If you are going through the written exams like NDA or CDSE, and you have cleared as shown at the http://upsc.gov.in site, then wait for a reasonable time
If you feel that it is getting late, or your friends who gave the paper with you have begun receiving call letters, then call UPSC at Delhi. Number given in notification, envelope etc.
Facilitation counter and website for guidance of candidates: In case of any guidance/information/clarification regarding their applications, candidature etc. candidates can contact UPSC`s Facilitation Counter near `C gate of its campus in person or Over Telephone No.011-23385271/011-23381125/011-23098543 on working days between 10.00 hrs and 17.00 hrs.
The Commission also has Website at address upsc.gov.in over which the candidates can obtain details of the examination as well as information about registration of their applications. venue of the examination and results etc.
It takes a number of redials to get the no. though :) Tell them that you have not received your call-letter. They'll tell you that your Centre is xyz (say Bhopal, Allahabad etc). Take it's number from them.
Then call up your centre and verify the date of your Interview from them and whether or not you receive the letter, be there at the Centre on your date.
- For direct entries, I think they do not accept speed-posts, registered mail or even courier- only simple mail is accepted.
I have little idea in this case how to verify re call letters...
- For NCC entries, contacting your NCC office might be of help.
In any case, try to keep in touch with fellow aspirants who may be pursuing similar entry and you can keep in touch re call-letters.

See Star Wars Pinball in action with the Episode V table
As someone who has wanted to get into Zen Studios' brand of pinball but has somehow managed to not pull the trigger yet, it was great to hear about Star Wars Pinball. This latest trailer shows of the table based on The Empire Strikes Back, which you can't not love; the sights and sounds are too full of nostalgia to resist.
This specific table is merely the first of many planned for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, PC, iOS, and Google Play. It's got five missions, which will feature checkpoints in the event of a ball drain or other mishaps. Zen says that we'll hear more about the Boba Fett table next week. I'm pumped, despite not being that big of a Star Wars fan. This is just cool to see come to fruition.

Debra Olin
The Power of Language
In a series of monotypes printed on cloth and paper, Debra Olin explores issues of personal and family history and identity, often incorporating Yiddish, the language of her grandparents, into her art.
She uses her grandmother's garments in her prints, as well, the textures of lace, brocade, and eyelet translating beautifully through monotype. Olin sees clothing as a metaphor for the body. The coat represents safety and shelter, a vantage point to view the world and one's relationship to it. The slip evokes vulnerability, covering the mysteries that live within us.
Drawing on both religious and cultural images and ideas, her art is also inspired by the Bible and Yiddish poetry. The exhibit's title piece is based on a 1943 Yiddish poem by Avram Suskever, "The Lead Plates from the Rohm Press," about an imaginary uprising in the Vilna Ghetto, in which Jews broke into a building where books were printed, and melted down the lead plates to make bullets to fight the Nazis.
Olin has exhibited widely in the United States and abroad. Among her numerous honors is the Materials Award of The Boston Printmakers 1999 North American Print Exhibition.

Nigel Tufnel: What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?Often, some people have the need to top things. It could be because of dissatisfaction with something, a need to best someone else (often known as "Keeping up with the Joneses"), or some other reason. Either way, you would like to take something, and push it beyond what's been done before. Unfortunately, things like time, money, technology, and/or other factors will only allow that so far. So you just end up topping the last thing by a small amount. So you've been forced to leave room for your own thing to be topped later on. Then you top that new thing, this can lead to an all-out "topping" war. This may or may not be a good thing, depending on the circumstances. Exactly what is topped can vary. It could be a commercial product (like computer and gaming tech), an architectural feat, a world record, or something else. Whatever thing, this trope is taking the highest bar set, and taking that "Up to Eleven". For those who aren't into guitar (electric guitar specifically), the phrase "Taking it up to eleven" is a reference to the volume setting on a guitar amplifier; the maximum setting on most (especially older) amps is 10, however newer amps (most often Marshalls) with the "11" option (which is beyond loud, believe us on that one) came out, and you can even take the volume higher with gain/equalizer settings on distortion boxes. More recently volume eleven has become partially obsolete as many Marshall amplifiers sport 0-20 volume knobs, essentially taking the trope itself Up To Eleven. Conspicuous Consumption and Absurdly High-Stakes Game often involves this. Not to be confused with Beyond the Impossible, which is beyond what should be possible according to the internal logic of a story. This trope is more likely to be a competition between two or more groups or one group against itself, where one group goes beyond what is considered the limit but still possible. Compare Serial Escalation, Sequel Escalation, Tim Taylor Technology, Exaggerated Trope, The Same but More, Comical Overreacting, Rank Inflation, Loud of War, Readings Are Off the Scale, Loudness War, or Lensman Arms Race.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and have ten be the top... number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: ...These go to eleven.

Since the 9/11 attacks, no book has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out - until now.
Do theTime-Don't Let theTime Do You
Apparently that's some old Jail-House-Wisdom which I first saw written on a bunk above me. (In toothpaste, I later learned.)
I was exculpated (and properly ruled innocent - "framed" no less.) Ah, the power of a well placed lie, especially in the hands of a power mad police officer or prosecutor.
Whatever. I thought it made sense, so I just slept for thirty six of forty hours there, til out. (That weren't no four years, though.)
"It's not exactly clear why the woman, Elizabeth Paige Coast, recanted her story"
No, it's exactly clear. It's the exact same reason those girls had at the salem witch trials. A very large amount of sexual crime charges are nothing more than witch hunts. For someone without the money to defend themselves there is little that can be done by way of legal defense. All of these sexual laws need to be reviewed with protection of innocent people in mind.
