The Music Theory course for Music Majors is to develop a student's ability to recognize, understand, and describe the basic materials and processes of music that are heard or presented in a musical composition so that they can become more creative and independent interpreters of their art. Included in the course are fundamentals of music up through elementary modulation. The ear training component includes sight singing simple major and minor melodies to melodies that modulate to closely related keys; harmonic and melodic dictation; techniques of composition; and music history. All orchestra students at the North East School of the Arts are required to take a Music Theory class before they graduate but are encouraged to try to take it in their sophomore year of high school. This allows them perhaps three years to turn their "study" of music into praxis.
AP MUSIC THEORY - Theory I is the prerequisite for this class
The Advanced Placement (AP) Music Theory course enables highly motivated students to do college level work in the areas of reading and analyzing notated music and aural training. Particular emphasis will be placed upon developing listening skills, sight singing ability and knowledge of rhythm, melody, harmony, form and other compositional devices. The successful student will have the skills necessary to function intelligently in any musical situation. The work of the course will emphasize preparation for the advanced placement music theory examination.
This class is for advanced students to study composition and compose their own pieces. The class studies harmonic analysis, counterpoint, form, and orchestration. Ear training is included in this class to help students continue to develop their listening skills.

mine was judged, but very very quickly.
I am very upset at VMK. I waited from 10pm until almost 1am to have my room judged. I lost connection twice and signed back in. I then got a message that VMK would close for the night. Before it closed down, it said that not all the rooms was able to be judged. Did anyone else have this problem? And if anyone knows, will my room still be judged?
mine was judged, but very very quickly.
Just to let yall know. The person in green who comes into your room doesn't really judge it, They just take a picture of the room.
I remember this evil evil event..couple days after I signed up for VMK . I sat in a friend's room for it
I believe
I believe in believing - until my very last minute of truth , I don't give up . even when it will be hard to see it through
I will go on
I will go on , no matter what , still dedicated all the way through
I'll live my dreams the same way I do my life , by taking one step at a time

In a notorious case involving the kidnapping and rape of a young girl in Cody, Wyo., video surveillance cameras played a "huge role" in bringing the perpetrator to justice.
Dave Joly, a spokesman for the FBI office in Denver, used those words in describing what he said was "an amazing case."
Largely as a result of video footage obtained from numerous locations in Cody and nearby Yellowstone National Park, a then-39-year-old nature photographer from Manhattan, Jesse Paul Speer, was arrested six days after the incident.
He later pleaded guilty to aggravated kidnapping, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and two counts of sexually abusing a minor. In November, he was sentenced to life in prison.
The affidavit charging Speer with those crimes laid out in unusual detail how authorities tracked him down, relying heavily on video footage gathered from private businesses in Cody and later in Yellowstone National Park.
The case started at about 3:55 p.m. on Oct. 8, 2012, when Speer approached the 10-year-old girl outside the county library and asked her to help him find his lost puppy.
The girl at first said she'd help, but when she changed her mind, Speer brandished a handgun and forced her into his sport utility vehicle. After binding the girl's hands and ankles, he drove to a remote area outside Yellowstone National Park and abused her.
Four hours after the abduction, a pair of hunters found the girl wandering along a dirt road about 20 miles southeast of Cody.
Joly said the FBI immediately sent in about a dozen agents to help the Cody Police Department and the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. Based on what the victim told them and where she had been found, investigators had a rough idea of where the kidnapper might have driven on his way out of town.
Joly said investigators went door to door, asking mostly businesses but also some homeowners if they had any surveillance video that might help them crack the case. They also reviewed surveillance tapes from an 80-mile radius around Cody.
Gathering and analyzing video footage can be "extremely time-consuming," Joly said, but the effort soon yielded dramatic results.
Based on a review of footage obtained from multiple cameras, investigators placed a white SUV with a gray and black Thule cargo box on the roof in the vicinity of where the victim was approached and abducted. Video was also used to identify where the suspect had been before the abduction.
Still images from the surveillance images were sent to Toyota Motor Corp., which identified the vehicle as a Toyota 4-Runner SR5 from the 2003-05 model years.
Two ranchers who saw the vehicle on a dead-end road outside Cody, not far from where the assault took place, were also shown the still images from surveillance cameras, and they positively identified the vehicle as the one they saw.
On Oct. 12, investigators reviewed surveillance video from the Maverick store at 1802 17th St. in Cody. It showed the vehicle entering and leaving the store parking lot around 12:55 p.m. The video did not show the vehicle parked, and there were no images of the person driving the vehicle.
Investigators then reviewed surveillance video from an Albertsons store across the street from the Maverick. That video showed the suspect vehicle parked near the Maverick, in front of Rocky Mountain Discount Liquors. It showed a person walking to and from the vehicle, entering and leaving the liquor store. He was wearing a blue or black jacket, light-colored shirt, tan baseball hat and glasses with dark frames.
On Oct. 13, an FBI special agent reviewed video from a surveillance camera at the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park, just outside Gardiner. It showed a white Toyota 4Runner entering the park on Oct. 7 at about 4 p.m. It also showed investigators a Montana license plate: 6-26712A. There was a Thule cargo box on the roof and the driver matched the description of the man from the other video images.
Video from the park's northeast gate was reviewed the same day. It showed the SUV in question leaving the park at 5:20 p.m. Later that day, the Montana Department of Motor Vehicles database showed that the license plate in question was assigned to a 2004 Toyota 4Runner registered to a Jesse Paul Speer.
Authorities also matched a driver's license photo of Speer with an artist's rendering of the suspect and said the two resembled each other. Also, the driver's license photo was compared with the image of the suspect recorded on the surveillance video from the liquor store, and authorities said it appeared to be the same person.
At 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 13, the 4Runner vehicle was spotted in Belgrade. It was stopped and Speer was arrested.
"It's not every day that things work out so well," Joly said. "That was really a textbook case."

Quoted Text My wife is always asking me why I'm in the dark
Quoted from Golfzilla Does anyone experience sensitivity to lights? I think I might be a little extra sensitive than most I know. I have my eyes examined annually. In fact just did this past Monday and am told to wear sunglasses Perhaps will need transition lenses
Quoted from paul clucas Golfz~, do you mind if we start a pool on what Genotype you are?I want to put my money on Explorer. I may have to rustle up some secretors out there to make this work ...... "A difference of opinion is what makes horse races - and missionaries." Will Rogers
Quoted from Lola read the monographhttp://www.4yourtype.com/hunter.aspand measuring is key, not just discerning check the videoshttp://youtube.com/profile?user=genotypediettry getting a hold of the book from your library to get the whole picture
Quoted from teri Another nonnie here (and Explorer too) very sensitive to light (and noise). I even wear sunglasses on bright gray days when there's no visible sun. I detest movies that flash quickly from frame to frame, seem to be more and more of them out there these days. And live concerts with flashing lights. Department store lighting makes my eyes tired and red. BUT, I am also sensitive to lighting if it's too dim too and always turning a light on to "see". What's with that?
Quoted from nowishow I've always been sensitive to light. Sunlight doesn't bother me as much as Flourescent lights or those new headlights (the bluish ones) it feels like someone is stabbing me in the eyes when a car with those headlights comes towards me. Ouch!
Quoted from Golfzilla And I thought my experiences with it were unique...
Quoted from jeanb Often light sensitivity will indicate tired adrenals.

Transnational Litigation Seminar
This seminar will deal with the complexities added to the normal processes of civil litigation when each party is located in a different country. While the focus will be largely on U.S. practice and procedures, the litigation rules of other countries will be given significant consideration. Students will have the opportunity to review such concepts as personal and subject matter jurisdiction, service of process, discovery, and the enforcement of judgments, and to consider the application of those concepts in a transnational context. Much of the course will be conducted on the basis of analysis of assigned problems, with each student being designated to lead or co-lead the discussion of at least one specific problem. Where relevant, this may involve the preparation of necessary documents. Each student will be responsible for creating a check list of transnational litigation issues. For seminar students, the grade will be based on the student's (1) research paper; (2) the presentation of that paper to the class; (3) general participation in class discussion; (4) presentation of the problem or problems assigned to that student; and (5) the litigation check list to be submitted at the end of the semester. This course will be held in conjunction with the non-seminar Transnational Litigation course. Students taking the course as a seminar will prepare a more extensive research paper, and will present that paper in class. Those taking the non-seminar track will receive 2 credits and may not use their paper to satisfy the faculty supervised legal writing requirement. Enrollment in the seminar track will be limited to 6 students.

Patancheru police registered cases against Akbar in 2005
The police of Medak district dug out an old case registered against MIM legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi way back in 2005 and filed a requisition petition before the Excise and Prohibition Court to present him before the court.
According to sources, in 2005 the district administration tried to remove a prayer place near Muttangi.
At that time Mr. Akbaruddin reached there and entered into an argument with the then Collector A.K. Singhal and with force pushed him aside along with other officials.
The police of Patancheru registered cases against Akbar, Asaduddin Owaisi, Mumtaz Khan, Asad Pasha Khadri, Mozam Khan and Afzar Khan under 147, 153, 353, 290, 295 (A), 186, 341, 504 and 506 of IPC.
Bail secured
The accused got bail after attending the court in 2009 before the general elections as it was mandatory to see that no warrant was pending. Since then neither Akbar nor Asad presented themselves before the court. Even the police did not serve the NBW against both of them.
With Akbar remanded to the jail at Adilabad district, the police of Patancheru have decided to present him before the court.
Petition filed
Patancheru Circle Inspector Mr Ravinder had confirmed that they have filed a petition before the Prohibition and Excise Court and they would present the legislator once the permission was accorded.
Keywords: Medak district police, Akbaruddin Owaisi cases

Name: Reema Khan
Birthplace: Lahore
Martial Status: Married to Dr. Tariq Shahab
Reema Khan is one the most popular film actress of Pakistani. She acted in more than 200 films. She is an actress, director, and producer. She lives mostly in America with her husband and is expecting her first child soon.
During the start of her career, she was known as Reema, but later on she was known also as Reema Khan. In 2005, she introduced herself as a producer and director with the film Koi Tujh Sa Kahan.
She debuted as an actress in the film Bulandi, directed by Mohammad Javed Fazil in 1990, opposite Shaan. At the time of her debut in Bulandi, it was the reign of Anjuman, Neeli, Nadra and Shahida Minni. The great success of Javed Fazal's Bulandi not only helped Reema to stick in Lollywood but also gave a durable pair of Reema and Shaan to Lollywood.
Reema's early films with Shaan, such as, Zherilay, Ishq, Naag Devta, Pyar Hi Pyar, Sailab, Dil, Aag, Shama and Sahiba inspired Pakistani film viewers due to her acting. However, the real period of her success started from 1993, when she got hit films with Shaan, such as Hina, Anjuman, Chakuri, Chandni, Neelam and Insaniat.
When she appeared with Mohsin Khan in director Shameem Ara's film Hathi Meray Sathi, it was a huge success. However, Reema's acting talent prominently appeared in the film of director Altaf Hussain's Rani Beti Raj Karegi. Where Reema proved herself a good actress in Hathi Meray Sathi, there she proved herself a good dancer in Rani Beti Raj Karegi as well.
In 1994, Shameem Ara produced another hit film Beta with the team of Hathi Meray Sathi (Reema, Mohsin Khan, Rambo and Sahiba). And after the success of Beta, Reema achieved the status of one of the top actresses of Lollywood.
In the very next year, Reema appeared in the film Munda Bigra Jaye with a new actor Baber Ali. The pair of Reema and Baber Ali won the hearts of Pakistani film viewers and together they gave many hit films to their fans, such as Jo Darr Gaya Woh Mar Gaya, Sarak, Love 95, Chor Machaey Shoor, Mamila Garbar Hai, Hum Tu Chaley Susral and Laghat-e-Jigar.Reema appeared in later films with Saud, Ajab Gul, Izhar Qazi and Moamnar Rana as well.

I just bought a magnavox 37" at wqal mart for a very cheap $ 598, because it was the display model. The picture is very fine, the only problem is that it takes 3 or 4 times of me pressing the on button before it decides to turn on. At first the green light just blinks and then it turns off so I try it until it works. This does not happen when the tv is already on and I turn it off and on, it only happens when the tv is off for a long time. What can I do about this problem and is there a cheap way to fix it? Any advise would help. |

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat: DXVCF? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionIs this a good bat for a 15 year old fastpitch softball player that plays 16u travel and high school to use? She is also a power hitter.
The DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat (DXVCF) is a balanced bat designed for contact and gap hitters. For a power hitter I would recommend looking at the 2015 DeMarini CF7 Insane Fastpitch Softball Bat (DXCFI). This will be an end loaded bat.
In terms of pop, how does this bat compare to the -11 CF6?
The 2014 DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat (DXVCF) and the DeMarini CF6 (DXCFS) will feature about the same pop. The 1.15 BPF certifications that both these bats feature limit the performance or "pop" that the bats are capable of; because of this, factors such as sweet spot size and feel at contact are often the biggest difference between the two bat models.
Does it have "FastPitch" and "ASA" stamped on it?
Yes the 2014 DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat (DXVCF) does have both of those stamped on the bat.
Product Description
If you play competitive softball, the odds are you have a bitter rival. This is the bat that will settle the score. Welcoming back the new DeMarini Vendetta Fastpitch Softball Bat! The Vendetta features a two-piece design with DeMarini's C6 Composite barrel. The Vendetta also features Half and Half Technology that redistributes weight to give the bat optimal balance.

30. Narco Diving
The Bahamian island of Andros is a sheer-walled skyscraper, lapped by the six-thousand-foot-deep Tongue of the Ocean, where a diver can kick out a few yards and fall right off the continental shelf. While the abyss is free to all, Small Hope Bay Lodge offers a guided dive called Over the Edge of the Wall, down to 185 feet. It's not for the impulse-control challenged; at that depth you will be thoroughly narced, as in nitrogen narcosis, the dreaded Rapture of the Deep.
Why one gas should produce euphoria and another mere unconsciousness is not easily explained. But at about a hundred feet, a strange sea change begins to come over your brain, thanks to the increased partial pressure of nitrogen at depth. The muted colors of dangling sponges and the melancholy shapes of massive plate corals leap out at you, laughing. All at once, you're in on the cosmic joke. Truly, you are tiny, so freaking tiny, yet oceanic in your newfound wisdom. All is one -- and then some! Cap'n of the Good Skull Lollipop, you soar in space as you slowly fall, blessing basses and wrasses and intoxicating gases. At last you touch down on a little sandy ledge, a catwalk worthy of the north face of the Eiger, overlooking blue-black inner space. You may ask yourself, referencing the Talking Heads, How did I get here? And you may experience the profound confusion of an honest philosopher, which some people do not enjoy. But Jerko -- it's just scuba diving. You're only high, frying your synapses on pressurized dope. Confusion and death await those who linger too long.
So don't. Head for the surface and you'll come down as you go up, into the brilliant Bahamian light, no longer such a smarty-pants, perhaps, but still on vacation.
--Bucky McMahon
31. Getting a Road Job
Sometime before you die, and potentially right before, you must enjoy a blow job while driving a car in excess of eighty miles per hour. Everything about a blow job is better at high speed: the power, the thrill, the feeling you're about to lose control and leave a memorable obituary. A few caveats: The interior design of automobiles has changed since my road-job days, and it seems like it would be impractical in these newfangled models with their obstructive cupholders. It won't work in a Prius, for example, which is a damn shame, because imagine the self-satisfaction of zero-population-growth sex with low carbon emissions. It would probably work in a Hummer. Other considerations: It works best in the Great Plains, where the highways are long and straight; it's safer, and more fun, in broad daylight, particularly if you slow down as you pass a truck; and most important, drinking and driving and dunking don't mix. I can't recall exactly how you talk a woman into going down on you in a speeding car, though. I think it's mostly hand gestures.

Tarpon Fishing
Belize's shallow water contains the only classic tarpon flats outside South Florida and our flats are world renowned for offering the opportunity to site cast to Tarpon 12 months a year. At El Pescador, you too can achieve the angler's ultimate dream- a Grand Slam! You can cast the lagoons for lady fish or snook, go outside the reef into the deep water for billfish and wahoo. Troll the reef for king fish or barracuda. Jig the bottom for snapper and grouper. The choice is yours.
Ambergris Caye Tarpon Fishing
The El Pescador fishery has year round resident tarpon over 100 lbs. The fish are spread out over our 250 square mile fishery. In the late summer (July, August, September), we have the added bonus of a large migratory population, which doubles our tarpon numbers. Moon phases tend to effect tarpon more than other species. The guideline is to fish around the new moon. Remember, this is only a guideline, not a hard and fast rule. We land fish during full moon weeks all the time! Permit, Bonefish and Tarpon are always released.
Bonefishing Belize
The bonefish grounds are only minutes from the lodge. Most of the bone fishing is done from the bow of the boat, but there are flats that can be waded as well. The bones run from 2 - 5 lbs and are plentiful. El Pescador maintains kayaks and canoes which provide access to an extensive system of lagoons behind our property, where you can fish for bones for a couple of hours in spectacular solitude. These boats are available at no charge to El Pescador guests. We will give you some basic guidance and directions, and then you are off for your own bonefish and nature adventure!
Permit Fishing
Permit are found on the bonefish flats, and on many of the tarpon flats as well. Our permit are found in large schools and range from 4 - 30 lbs, with the majority running about 8 - 10 lbs. Jack crevalle, barracuda, cobia and snook are also found on the flats and in the surrounding mangrove lagoons. You can cast the lagoons for lady fish or snook, go outside the reef into the deep water for tuna and wahoo. Troll the reef for king fish or barracuda. Jig the bottom for snapper and grouper. The choice is yours.

On the 5th day of our trip to Chicago, Darren took us to Lincoln Park Zoo. I had been there already back in 2003 but this time it was a lot more interesting!
I got some wonderful shots of the animals and birds there, including the human variety who were protesting outside.
Here are two shots of a lion at the zoo. I could describe him as majestic and commanding of presence, but when you see the tiny enclosure they have to live in, it's hard not to feel pity for them.

Working through challenges has helped Subway in its ambitious international expansion plan as well. Aiming for 7,500 international locations (not including stores in Canada) by 2010, it already has 3,767 restaurants in more than 80 countries, including England, France and Germany. "We're working at building the infrastructure in all these countries," says DeLuca. "And it looks to us like the opportunity internationally in the long run is larger than the opportunity in the U.S. It might be several times the size of the U.S. opportunity."
With global growth comes global cooperation, notes DeLuca, as many franchisee co-ops--such as the Independent Purchasing Cooperative, which has international members--often share strategies about successful distribution and sourcing. The serendipitous outcome of such affiliations tends to be price savings and quality improvements across the board.
Getting a foothold into new countries and building the Subway brand is a challenge DeLuca embraces. With little name recognition, few established customers and different sets of laws and languages to contend with overseas, there are many hurdles to overcome, even for a seasoned franchisor such as Subway. "The key is really making sure you understand the challenges and [that you're] working against all of [them] simultaneously as you enter these new markets," DeLuca says. "That's probably what makes the international market so exciting--because while we're seeing great growth, it seems like countries take off, but they don't take off all at once. You don't know which one is going to blast off next."
That blast-off energy is exactly what an entrepreneurially minded franchisee brings to the competitive fast-food market--and DeLuca is banking on franchisees' enthusiasm to stay ahead of the pack. Though he cites burger chains as Subway's main competition, he notes that the marketplace is laden with variety--from Mexican and Asian fare to chicken brands--all battling for consumer food dollars. But with true entrepreneurial franchisees in the trenches who each have a finger on the pulse of local competition, innovation tends to be propelled upward. "Different people are experimenting with different approaches, so [we] keep a close eye on what's happening in the field," says DeLuca. "The way we do it is by giving [franchisees] a fair amount of authority to go forth and get things done--then watching what they're doing and teaching others. [The ideas] kind of transfer sideways, up and around."
Leisure, reflection, taking a break--who's got the time? With goals to boost North American sandwich sales 50 percent by 2010, Subway's just getting started.

Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech
CmdrTaco posted about 13 years ago | from the thats-pretty-amusing dept.
941brightboy writes "According to this Yahoo! News article, Georgia Tech has developed and implemented a "cheating detector"; that is, a program which compares students' coding assignments to each other and detects exact matches. This was used for two undergraduate classes: "Introduction to Computing" (required for any student in the College of Computing) and "Object Oriented Programming" (required for Computer Science majors)." Cuz remember programmers: in the real world you are fired if you consult with a co-worker ;)

I had e-mails from people who sent me seeds and some I needed to send seeds too. I have been out of town staying with my daughter. Her mother-n-law was rear ended by a semi truck and she is in critical condition in ICU. She was paralyzed! I had been staying there to help out while my daughter and her husband was at the hospital. Now I don't remember who I needed to send seeds or envelopes too. I know I should have wrote it down, but didnt think about it till I was gone. Anyhow to anyone who sent me seeds thank you!!!! You don't know how much they mean to me. Let me know who I owe seeds or envelopes too. God bless!!! |

Hi alls,
I am relatively new to Anima, but am an experienced RPG gamer in D&D, AD&D, Gurps, Rifts, Whitewolf and a host of other lesser known games. With every game I play, I seem to find potential loopholes in the rules system to take advantage of. Before I ramble on, are there any system loopholes that any of my fellow Anima players have noticed about this system? (Possibly things a GM new to Anima need to look out for in experienced gamers?)

Fusing African inspired aesthetics and fabrics in designing clothing would never cease to fascinate me as long as its executed brilliantly. Speaking of brilliance, I got a dose of it whilst I visited Ghanaian designer Ann-Marie Adoley Addo of Jil at her palatial Accra flagship store. The designer introduced a new collection of scarves beaded specially by skilled and tested artisans in India the home of bejeweled clothing.
The production process takes place in 2 continents as the Kente fabric is designed by Ann and woven by artisans in Accra after which it gets cut into patterns and is shipped out. The artisans in India bead according to a script drawn by the designer and ship the finished pieces back where it is joined by Ghanaian based tailors.
Fantastic pieces and a smart move from the label, hopefully this translates into enough revenue befor the copycats latch on.

represents a tyrant ruler, or a haughty and a dangerous thief who works alone without helpers. An
in a dream also means being unemployed, or aversion of fear and bewilderment. In a dream, an
also represents a traitor. If one sees himself fighting with an
in a dream, it means facing a fight with someone. An
in a dream also represents a person without steadfastness or determination to do what is right. If an
falls inside his house in a dream, it means news of someone's death. An
also represents thieves hiding in the darkness and under the shade of ruins, and of being annoyed about having to make an effort to earn one's livelihood.
Dream Explanation
— (Hand) In a dream, the
of the right hand represent the daily five time prayers. The thumb represents the pre-dawn prayer, the index represents the midday prayer, the middle finger represents the mid-afternoon prayer, the ring finger represents the sunset prayer, and the little finger represents the evening prayer. As for the
of the left hand in a dream, they are interpreted to represent one's nephews. To cross or intertwine one's
in a dream means difficulties and poverty. (Also see Body; Fingers; Thimble)
Owl Dream Explanation
— The

Fingers Dream Explanation
— They symbolise his brother's and sister's chidren (ie. Nephews and nieces ). At other times they symbolise the five daily salaah. Thus, if any defects are seen in a persons
, it is suggestive of similar short comings in his salaah; or it forewarns mishaps regarding his nephews or nieces-depending entirely on which of the two aspects are implicated in the dream.

Bite Dream Explanation
— (Champing; Chomp; Love; Rancor) In a dream, a bite signifies perfidy, rancor or extreme love for the one who is bitten in a dream. If one bites himself then spits a piece of his own flesh on the ground in a dream, it means backbiting and belittling others.

or increase in their number in a dream represents growth, while deformed
in a dream mean the opposite. One's five
in a dream also represent the five daily prayers. Thus, if the
are interpreted to mean the five daily obligatory prayers, then the fingernails represent the supererogatory (arb. Nafl) prayers. If the
are interpreted as money, then the fingernails represent the due alms tax. (arb. Zakat). If they are interpreted to represent an army in the dream, then the fingernails represent their weapons.
in a dream also represent the days, months or years. When

• The imam (the Muslims spiritual leader) having long fingers: He is too greedy, tyrannical, and unfair to his subjects.

• Milk coming out of the dreamer's thumb and blood from his index finger: He is having sex with his mother-in-law and his wife's sister.

. The caliph woke up in a state of terror. He summoned a qualified dream interpreter who reassured him that what the Archangel of Death meant to say was that there are five things that only God knows; they include the hour, as per the relating verse in the Holy Quran: "Lo! Allah! With Him is knowledge of the Hour. He sendeth down the rain, and knoweth that which is in the wombs. No soul knoweth what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knoweth in what land it will die.

Hand Dream Explanation
— (See Body; Fingers; Five fingers)
Thimble Dream Explanation
— A thimble in a dream means money, a child, a wife, a young intelligent worker, a vehicle, travels, or a needed competitor for the better promotion of one's business. A thimble in a dream also means dire need, tight circumstances, difficulties, or perhaps it could represent one who is crafty and who deceives children. Placing a thimble in the wrong finger in a dream means committing adultery, neglecting one's prayers, or the falling sick of the person such finger represents in the dream. (Also see Fingers; Five fingers)
Being Bitten by a Snake Dream Explanation
— If a person sees a snake
him it means his enemy will harm him as much as he will be harmed by the snake bite.
A Dog that Attacks Dream Explanation
— If a dog is seen attacking and
a person it means that the harm caused by his enemy ill not be confined to unpleasant words only but bodily harm as well.
Gall Bladder Dream Explanation
— Dreaming of seeing a person
the gallbladder of another until he dies means the assailant hates his adversary to the point of death. If, furthermore, he drinks the victim's blood, he wrongly thinks that he can kill him and acquire or get away with his money under the eyes of the law.
Paralysis Dream Explanation
— (Cripple; Impediment; Justice; Wither) If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it denotes a great sin he has committed that warrants such a severe punishment. If the right hand is paralyzed in the dream, it means that one earns his money from practicing usury, or it could mean that he is unjust toward a poor and a weak person. If one's left hand is paralyzed in a dream, it means that either his sister or his brother may die shortly. If his thumb is paralyzed in a dream, it means that he will suffer from hardships because of his children. If the index or the middle finger are paralyzed in a dream, it means that one may suffer because of his sister. If one sees his ring finger paralyzed in the dream, it means that he will suffer pain and difficulties because of an ailment that will befall his mother or a female relative. If one sees his little finger paralyzed in a dream, it means that he may suffer because of a daughter. Any infliction in one's hand in a dream represents one's brothers, while any infliction of the
in a dream represents his children. If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it means that he will lose his source of income. If one's
are paralyzed in a dream, it means that he has committed an awful sin. If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it means he has caused major losses to an innocent person. (Also see Body; Physical paralysis)

, then I gave what is left to Omar.' Abdullah asked: 'How did you interpret it, O Messenger of God?' He replied: 'Knowledge.'"
Lick Dream Explanation
— Licking milk, water, honey or a dash of anything in a dream denotes frugality, tight handedness, or meager earning. To dip one's finger in a plate of tasty food and lick it in a dream may denote a precious metal, a jewel, or a pendant. To lick up one's
or any element in a dream means money, or benefits from the substance one is licking in his dream. (Also see Electuary)
Jujube Dream Explanation
— (Fruit) In a dream, a jujube fruit represents a noble, strong and a cheerful person who benefits people at large, and who is firm and patient in the face of adversities. Sucking the juice of a jujube fruit in a dream means gaining power. In a dream, a jujube fruit also represents the
of a woman who had applied henna to her hands for a wedding or for a religious ceremony. (Also see Henna; Jujube tree)

When I run setup.exe for 3DS Max Design 2011 or Navisworks 2011 on any of our domain connected Windows 7 machines, the program starts to initialise, but then comes up with the following message:
"This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator. #1"
followed by
"Fatal error during installation."
At which point setup.exe bombs out. In the Application Log, I get this message:
"The installation of C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\_random.tmp\SetupRes\eval.msi is not permitted due to an error in software restriction policy processing. The object cannot be trusted"
Source: MsiInstaller Event ID: 1008
I have confirmed that this is caused by Applocker as I have tested with a machine that has all policies except Applocker and it works, but as soon as Applocker is turned on I get this error. We use Applocker policies which have been set to allow Admins to run all Windows Installer Files, Executables and Scripts on any Path. The Applocker event log doesn't show any errors to suggest it's blocking the program, but something must be causing a knock on effect to this install. I can also confirm that I do have a Software Restriction Policy turned on that applies to all except Administrators. This policy doesn't have any actual restrictions in it, but it has been suggested elsewhere that this is a possible cause of this error.
I can confirm that if the product has already been packaged using the packaging tool within the setup program, that the package installs ok. Of course, we can only get to the packaging tool through the setup program which doesn't run on our Windows 7 machines.
Finally, I have seen another post similar to this that suggests taking the machine off of the domain and trying a fresh install. Unfortunately, this is not an option to our users.
Any help would be very gratefully received.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Solved! by neilgwood. See the answer in context.
Noone of the Autodesk community volunteered an answer, but the Microsoft forum proved more fruitful:
Noone of the Autodesk community volunteered an answer, but the Microsoft forum proved more fruitful:
Hi neilgwood;
I know this reply is a bit on the late side but my manager asked me to contact you to see if we can be of any assistance. I read through the discussions you have here and with Microsoft and see that you were able to work around this issue via modifying some registry entries. I haven't experienced too many customers using the AppLocker so I'm glad that you were able to get some assistance from Microsoft.
Were you looking for any change or modifications from the applicaiton end? If you would like any information or details form our end please let me know and we'll help as best as possible.
Hi Dwayne,
Thank you for getting in touch. As you have seen, I do now have a workaround so I can get Autodesk products to install, but workarounds are never as ideal as actual fixes. I'm not 100% sure if the problem is with Autodesk or Applocker, but I haven't experienced the same problems with any other product I've installed in our Windows 7 environment so that suggests to me that your installer works in a slightly different way. I also know that it's not a oddity with our group policies as someone else was able to replicate the problem without knowing our set up.
As such, I can't just say "fix your product", but I will respectfully request that you look at how your setup program initialises and works with Applocker. As previously mentioned, if a custom installation of the product has already been packaged for deployment using the option in your setup program then it installs with no issues and this uses the same setup.exe to run. However, if it's a new install from the CD (or a network stored copy of the CD) then the setup.exe starts to initialise and then fails with the errors mentioned.
Thanks again for looking into this.
Hi neilgwood
Sorry for the delay, took a small vacation. I will log a case for you today and investigate this on our end.
i have the same problem with Autocad 2012
what is the workaround?
i have added the Autodesk certificate to our Applocker Polkicy,
but the eval.msi in the temp dir have no digital signature. Why?
we want deploy Autocad 2012 with our Software distribution on Windows 7 64 Enterprise
and to disable Applocker is no solution.
Have Autocad 2012 a windows 7 compatible logo, because i didn't find it in the Microsoft Library.
Hi All;
We are currently testing App Locker in greater detail. We're experiencing issues reproducing this consistantly. I have tested several applications through standard install as well as deployments and I haven't had any issues while App locker was enabled.
That being said we have a couple defects logged that were submitted that were currently investigating so these might turn up some information that might help. If they send updates shortly I'll update the forum
I have recenlty experienced this issue (after installing Win7 and all Autodesk socftware as recent as approximately six months ago) Now the error message appears and 2012 Autodesk software including AutoCAD Lite installatons are disallowed.
Please update this thread when a solution or workaround is available.
Additionally, I sent a request via Subscription Support pertaining to trying to resolve this issue.
Hi Clint,
The workaround we use is a batch file, shown below, which makes the registry changes as suggested in the Microsoft forum, then pauses so you can separately run the Autodesk installer and then set the keys back after the install.
Hope this helps
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\SrpV2\Scr
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\W
/v EnforcementMode /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Srp\Gp\M
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Srp\Gp\M

/v EnforcementMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Srp\Gp\M
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Srp\Gp\M
Can anyone provide an update on a resolution, not just a workaround?
I have installed 50+ other applications and have had no issues with Applocker. This problem is clearly related to Autodesk installers.

Pride and Prejudice Celebrates 200 Years
As one of the many editors at Real Simple with PPG (that is the Pride and Prejudice gene) I feel it is my duty to inform you of a very important holiday coming up at the end of the month. No, it's not Jane Austen's birthday (that was December 16th), but instead the 200th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice's publication. You can officially celebrate on January 28th, but I wanted to give plenty of notice so you can plan your celebration accordingly.
Here are a few ways you could mark the occasion:
The Pride and Prejudice board game from Ash Grove Press
(Plus, get a round up of other literary board games on Flavorwire.)
Pocket Posh Jane Austen: Puzzles & Quizzes
Pride and Prejudice tote from Out of Print Clothing
Pride and Prejudice Book Clutch from Kate Spade

Hero Next Door: With whole patient in mind, W.Va. DO seeks to reinvent a city

C. Donovan Beckett, DO, helps construct an arbor for the new Williamson, W.Va., community garden. As the chairman of the Williamson Redevelopment Authority, Dr. Beckett has overseen several city-enriching projects.
This article is part of a series, The Hero Next Door, on osteopathic physicians who are quietly transforming health care in their communities and beyond.
Deep in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains lies Mingo County, W.Va. Many of the county's roughly 26,000 residents struggle with both their health and their livelihoods.
The county has the second-highest hypertension rate in the state at almost 42% and the fourth-highest obesity rate at 37%, according to the state Health and Human Services Department. But those who live there are often preoccupied with more pressing issues than their health. In 2012, the county's poverty rate was more than 23%.
In the heart of coal-mining country, many of the county's dwellers lost their jobs following mine closures and cutbacks. The area is struggling to find a new identity, to diversify beyond a coal-based economy.
Enter C. Donovan Beckett, DO. Born and raised in Williamson, W.Va., the Mingo County seat, Dr. Beckett left the area for medical school and returned 10 years ago. After establishing a private family medicine practice, he saw firsthand the residents' struggles and wanted to make Williamson a healthier, more developed city.
In 2005, he became the chairman of the Williamson Redevelopment Authority (WRA). Under his leadership, the organization has overseen downtown revitalization, the creation of a community garden and a farmers market, monthly 5K runs and a lunch walk program.
Anne Warum Lambright, a commissioner with the WRA, says Dr. Beckett's drive stems from a desire to help his patients on a deeper level.
"[Dr. Beckett] has really gone above and beyond as a private physician to try to help people who don't have health insurance."
"Dr. Beckett is looking at the future of families in Williamson," she says. "He doesn't just think in terms of their physical health. He's also concerned about their emotional and economical health. He looks beyond his day-to-day patient work."
The new programs are starting to transform the city, Dr. Beckett says.
"We live in an area where you didn't see a lot of physical activity," he says. "But now I see people running everywhere—on the sidewalks, on the side of the four-lane highway that goes through Williamson. The programs have really encouraged a lot of activity."
People who felt their health was the least of their concerns have started getting fit because of Dr. Beckett, says Robin Sanger, a nurse practitioner with Dr. Beckett's practice.
"Dr. Beckett brings a lot of ideas to to the community, such as the farmers market and the community garden," she says. "People are often thinking more about their job loss and how they're going to put food on the table, but he has them also considering their exercise, their diet and eating the right kinds of foods for their health."
Osteopathic roots
Dr. Beckett's thirst for revitalization and community health in his hometown is rooted in his osteopathic background. He graduated from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg in 2000, where the concept of treating the whole patient became one of his core values.
"Holistic medicine is what osteopathic physicians do," he says. "And when you want to transform a community, you have to consider not only the physical structures but also the types of food available and the types of economic development available. We want to create a sustainable economy as well as sustainable lifestyles. This is a holistic approach to community development."
Dr. Beckett's interest in city improvement was sparked in 2004 when he bought a few apartment buildings in downtown Williamson. He leased space to local businesses on the buildings' lower floors such as a coffee shop, a restaurant and a tour group, which helped rejuvenate the city center. This made him wonder what else could be done to revive the area. He joined the WRA, and the organization applied for and received a $370,000 transportation revitalization grant from the state, which was used to upgrade downtown sidewalks, crosswalks and the city entranceway.
Afterward, Dr. Beckett thought more about what the residents of Williamson and Mingo County truly needed. He examined their demographics.
"We had such high rates of obesity and hypertension that my focus started to change," he says. "I thought that if we were going to improve all these physical structures, we needed to try to improve our physical well-being as well."
Much of Mingo County is a "food desert," Dr. Beckett notes. The county has only has one grocery store, and it's 30 miles outside of Williamson. To increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables in the city, the WRA developed a farmers market and a community garden.
The weekly farmers market, where residents sell tomatoes, corn, zucchini and more, earned roughly $65,000 last year, Dr. Beckett says, so it not only helps residents get healthful food but also enables them to earn money. Some people sell the food they grow in the community garden at the farmers market. The WRA began renting plots at its new community garden on the east end of town for $2 per season last year, Dr. Beckett says.
"The community garden creates a full-circle scenario," he says. "Folks get out of their apartment, get physical activity, eat better and also develop entrepreneurial spirit as well."
To encourage even more physical activity, the WRA's diabetes coalition began sponsoring a lunch walk program and monthly 5K runs. Both programs started relatively recently but have generated much interest in the community, Dr. Beckett says.
"We've been doing 5K runs for a year and a half. The first one had fewer than 25 participants," he says. "And we just had one on Saturday night in downtown Williamson that had 384 participants. They've grown so much."
The lunch walk program grew beyond Dr. Beckett's expectations as well. In the program, teams of coworkers in tens from local companies and businesses wear pedometers and calculate their steps as a team. They then track their progress on a U.S. map—some teams have walked from West Virginia to California and halfway back across the country, Dr. Beckett says.
Helping patients
Dr. Beckett also tackles community improvement in his work as a physician. His practice, Comprehensive Health Solutions, began operating a free clinic on Fridays two years ago, though Dr. Beckett now takes free patients and those who pay on a sliding scale throughout the week. And the city of Williamson, at Dr. Beckett's suggestion, is applying to operate a federally qualified health clinic to help serve more of the area's Medicaid and Medicare patients who are having trouble finding a physician.
With Dr. Beckett's persistence, the practice's free clinic has made a dramatic difference in the lives of uninsured patients, says Robin Sanger, a nurse practitioner with the practice.
"In addition to seeing patients for free, Dr. Beckett helps people who can't afford to have their bloodwork done get their labs at a very reduced cost," she says. "Then we are able to tell whether their thyroid is off, what their glucose is, and what their cholesterol is. He has really gone above and beyond as a private physician to try to help people who don't have health insurance."
Nearly 13% of the residents of Mingo County have diabetes, a stark jump from the national average of 8.3%, according to the American Diabetes Association and the West Virginia Health and Human Services Department. Dr. Beckett has helped enact two initiatives to control and prevent the disease and educate residents—a Diabetes Education Center (DEC) at Williamson Memorial Hospital and the WRA's Mingo County Diabetes Coalition. Started in 2009, the DEC runs a class physicians can refer their patients to. In the classes, patients work with diabetic educators, nurse practitioners and nutritionists to learn how to better manage the disease and adopt healthier eating and exercise habits.
More than 400 patients have matriculated through the DEC, Dr. Beckett says, and patients show an average drop of 2.1% of their hemoglobin A1c. A sustained A1c drop of 2.1% can significantly reduce one's chance of suffering from diabetes-related stroke, renal failure and amputations. So these efforts greatly reduce health care costs as well, he notes.
And even more patients are poised to control their diabetes through the work of the Mingo County Diabetes Coalition, which formed in 2011 and focuses on diabetes education and prevention efforts.
In 2012, the coalition received a three-year, $2.2 million grant from the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services as well as a $40,000 grant from a pharmaceutical company. The organization is using the money to hire patient navigators to visit diabetic patients at home to evaluate their medications, show them how to use medications and insulin and counsel them on lifestyle changes.

"The weekly interaction that we have with the patients keeps them on track," says Vicki Hatfield, a nurse practitioner and the coalition's lead researcher. "We're seeing people learn to eat better. They're seeing the benefits of exercise. They're seeing how their medications work better."
As an example of how the program helps patients, Dr. Beckett cites one of his own. A nurse at his practice had shown this patient how to use insulin, but her blood sugar was still very high when she returned to the office. Dr. Beckett suspected that the patient needed further help using insulin, so he sent a patient navigator to the woman's home.
"The navigator saw that when the patient was injecting the insulin, she was leaving the hub on the needle," Dr. Beckett says. "So when she would try to inject the insulin, it was spraying out on her stomach. The navigator was able to identify the problem and properly instruct the patient on how she should be using the insulin. And now she's perfectly controlled."
The CMS grant covers three years of diabetes education and programs, Hatfield notes, and early results suggest the program will provide a significant improvement in diabetes management across the county.
Results are also on Dr. Beckett's mind—with the rapid expansion of many of the community health programs he helped enact, he hopes to see measurable reductions in the county's sky-high heart disease, obesity and diabetes rates.
"Our goal when we set out with all these programs was to eventually look at the data and see the needle move in the opposite direction," he says. "That's when we'll have some satisfaction from seeing the fruits of our labor in terms of putting all these groups together to try to have a healthy impact on the area."
But Dr. Beckett's colleagues say his work has already noticeably changed Williamson and Mingo County.
"Williamson was a pretty depressed town until Dr. Beckett and some others came here and got these projects started," says Lambright. "Dr. Beckett has changed people's attitudes."

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Pieterse, Niel URN etd-03152006-142935 Document Title Development of a dynamic hip joint simulation model Degree MEng (Chemical Engineering) Department Chemical Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof P L de Vaal Committee Chair Keywords
- synovial fluid
- modelling
- hip joint
- biotribology
- rheology
Date 2006-01-05 Availability unrestricted Abstract Synovial joints, like the hip joint, has unique characteristics. In order to study these characteristics by making use of mathematical techniques, it is necessary to develop a model simulating the dynamic forces and joint movements during joint operation. Once this is available, the effect of the synovial fluid lubricant properties can be added by describing its behaviour as a component of the hip joint simulation model. This was the ultimate aim of this research effort.With this work a model based on fundamental principles, like the equations of mass and motion, was developed and validated experimentally with a hip joint simulator. It is also shown that the effect of the lubricant properties can be studied by adding the relevant rheological equations. These fluid properties can have a significant effect on the joint under typical joint operations like dynamic loading and movement. To develop a model with relative complexity, certain simplifying assumptions have to be made. In this study, the fluid was assumed to have no boundary interactions with the articulating surfaces. It is known that complex rheological interaction exists in these systems. Although certain assumptions were made during development, model results are promising and a firm basis was established for subsequent research.
In future, the model needs to be extended to simulate the continuous, multi-cycle operation of a human joint, with accurate geometrical descriptions of articulating surfaces and known components of synovial joints like articular cartilage. The model could then contain lubrication mechanisms known to prevail in synovial joints, with accurate rheological models of synovial fluid which will play an increasing role under typical joint operations.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Paris!
Facts about Paris
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Paris's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Paris, an adorable 1-yr-old kitten, is one of Virtually Home's most recent additions. She came to us, with her brother Chile, after we received a call that an elderly woman was deemed mentally incapable of caring for her cats after she became a ward of the state. Paris is adjusting to life with Virtually Home and as such has not had the chance to meet with our biographers to tell her story. Bio coming soon!
In the mean time, if you'd like learn more about Paris please contact Cindy at 773.203.0215 or mailto:email@example.com.
Other Pets at Chicago Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Paris, a Chicago Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Chicago.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chicago already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chicago breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chicago paves the way for another one to be saved.

Stocks are closing lower on concerns about the strength of the economy and the potential for a budget fight in Washington.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 49 points to close at 15,401 Monday, logging its third straight day of declines. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell eight points to close at 1,701.
Both indexes have given up all the gains that followed the Federal Reserve's surprise decision last Wednesday to keep its economic stimulus program intact.
Financial stocks led the declines on Monday. Citigroup dropped $1.64, or 3 percent, to $49.57 after reports that it suffered a drop in trading revenues that could crimp earnings.

Leeward Community College's winning Waianae team
UH nominees for the 2011 Governor's Awards
The annual Governor's Awards honor state executive branch employees who exemplify the highest caliber of public service and dedication to serving the people of Hawaii.
UH Employee of the Year Morris Lai
Morris K. Lai heads the Research and Evaluation Section of the Curriculum, Research and Development Group in the College of Education at Manoa. He is a Native Hawaiian scholar and member of the Department of Educational Psychology graduate faculty with a passion for preserving the Hawaiian language and culture.
Lai established the "Laiberry" in 2006 with a donation from his family and scoured used bookstores, garage sales and e-Bay to expand the collection to nearly 4,000 books for anyone to browse and borrow. As Gloria Kishi of the Department of Education says, "One could not ask for a better example of the value and values that constitute a university and its service to the community."
UH Manager of the Year Lui K. Hokoana
Through recruitment efforts, community outreach, support for faculty and staff training, development of a mentoring program or promotion of academic support strategies to improve student development, Lui Hokoana demonstrated his uncanny ability as a leader and manager while serving as vice chancellor for student affairs at Windward Community College. Chancellor Dykstra calls him "a charming man who exudes good will, an interest in the wellbeing of students and commitment to support faculty and staff."
In May, Hokoana was appointed associate vice president for student affairs.
UH Team of the Year Waianae Education Center
Laurie Lawrence and her team members at the Leeward Community College–Waianae Education Center have increased enrollment 144 percent and increased the number of class sections by 93 percent through extending office hours and offering early morning and late evening classes with no increase in physical resources.
The team members are Walterbea Aldeguer, Darwin Bohnet, Jayson Corrales, Genai Uilani Keliikuli, Emi Kaneshiro, Scott Kuraoka, William Longanecker, Summer Miles, Danielle Saito, Jean StavRue-Peahi, Jennifer Wharton and Danny Wyatt.
Much of their success is due to the outreach efforts of counselors who recruit at Waianae and Nanakuli High Schools and visited adults at homeless shelters and transitional housing organizations.
This team has adopted Hawaiian cultural values of aloha (love), kuleana (responsibility), malama (caring), lokahi (unity) and hoihi (respect) as the basis for the way they work together and a core philosophy of helping students succeed every step of the way.
Presidential Updates
The president yielded the floor at the July Board of Regents meeting so chancellors could provide their own updates on their campuses' progress in meeting performance indicators and share good news.
In lieu of campus news items, here is an update on presidential activities:
A promotional campaign celebrating the success of the Achieving the Dream initiative to help more community college students succeed—particularly those from Native Hawaiian, low-income and other traditionally underserved groups—began with radio interviews July 6 and will continue with more interviews and media appearances. A 60-second radio spot will celebrate the achievements of the program.
President Greenwood is scheduled to appear on Island Insights with Admiral Robert Willard of PACOM. They will discuss the UH-PACOM partnership and coming joint conference August 7–9 on the live PBS Hawaii's program hosted by Dan Boylan on Thursday July 28, 7:30–8:30 p.m.
The university will host an APEC-related higher education conference August 4–6. Work is underway to plan and promote the conference.
Many regents joined the president at the Regents and Presidential Scholarship Awards dinner July 7. Governor Neil Abercrombie was the guest speaker at the dinner honoring incoming and continuing UH students who are among the state's best and brightest.

Even if the weather refuses to admit it, we're in the thick of spring now, and there's no better indicator of that than the sudden ramping up of major studio releases that are starting to populate the local theaters. The first capital-B blockbuster of the year hits theaters today: Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion. Unfortunately, it's a studio tent pole through and through, a film reeking of studio notes and script-rewrites. It's all rounded edges and dulled points – the cinematic equivalent of plastic cutlery. The problems are there from the get-go, as we spend the film following Jack (Tom Cruise, doing Tom Cruise things) on his journey from being a heroic devil-may-care guardian of our ravaged planet to being a heroic devil-may-care savior of our ravaged planet. Along with his partner Victoria (Andrea Riseborough in the only performance in the film that lands emotionally) they maintain a vigilant watch over the irradiated landscape, protecting the drones and devices that harvest vital resources from our planet from the Scavs, the alien race that led to our planet's untimely destruction. Jack's mission is compromised when he saves a young woman (Olga Kurylenko) from a downed spacecraft, and meets an underground resistance led by Beech (Morgan Freeman) which leads him to believe the mission has never been quite what he thought it was.
Kosinski has the ability to make a picture epic in scope; of this there's no doubt. If you plan to see this film, see it on the biggest screen possible, so as to revel in the film's immersive landscapes and stunning set design. He also has quite the eye for shot composition, and I believe he is capable of shepherding a great work of science fiction onto the big screen. Unfortunately this picture is definitely not it. While the visuals dazzle, the story cribs from numerous sources (a little Wall*E, a sprig of Matrix, a healthy dose of Moon) without ever carving out a place for itself – a more apt title would've been Now That's What I Call Sci-Fi Volume 16. In terms of performances, I found it strange the person Tom Cruise showcased the best chemistry with was himself, and the emotional anchor that is the relationship between him and Kurylenko's Julia falls completely and utterly flat. And Kosinski continues the distressing trend of taking uniquely talented musical artists (previously Daft Punk for Tron: Legacy and Anthony Gonzalez of M83 here) and having them create cookie cutter Hans Zimmer-lite scores for his pictures.
As much as I'd like to encourage you to check out this picture – a big budget, original sci-fi not based on a comic book or ancillary property is worth celebrating – there's very little for me to recommend here. Kosinski has now proven himself doubly capable of creating gorgeously rendered sci-fi settings for his movies. Now he just has to work on populating them with characters the audience will give a damn about. Mere days after the fact, Oblivion is already being consigned to its namesake in my mind, a pedestrian Twilight Zone-riff neither action-packed mor thought-provoking enough to justify its existence.
Stars: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough Directed by: Joseph Kosinski Written by: Joseph Kosinski, Karl Gajdusek, Michael Arndt Distributor: Universal Pictures Rating: PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, brief strong language, and some sensuality/nudity Running Time: 126 minutes Website: oblivionmovie.com Budget: $120,000,000 Release Date: April 19, 2013

We are interested in creating a 40' hedge alongside an alley using a mix of tall for nearly all of the length. The last 5' will probably need to be around 3 feet because of code and street visability. We are interested in mix of edibles to make this area productive plus the surplus falls into our wildlife theme as well. I can install drip irrigation if necessary.
The area faces south so it receives a ton of sun and with the exception of a newly built home across the alley is exposed to the elements. Soil is neutral with some sand because of the alley regrades over the last 100 years a few spots read alkaline..though I want to do a soil test for sure. There is a little afternoon shade from the Cottonwood and a small maple..but it is still pretty sunny and hot. In the winter this area is one of the first to melt..although I can shovel snow mulch if needed. Originally I was going to install Rosa Rugosa 'Alba' down the entire length but was worried about the spread of up to 8 feet..would it look strange to prune so much as there is newly installed garden in front of the proposed hedge plus the well traveled alley on the other side? Maybe I need something more upright? I love the idea of the fragrance of this rose and large rose hips and thought for winter interest adding Therese Bugnet for its beutiful red canes. Our house 100+ year old purple folk victorian house cries out for roses I think.. So now my idea involves rosa rugosa alba plus Therese Bugnet and maybe in the lower area of the hedge Rosmarinus officinalis Alcalde Cold Hardy offered by High Country Gardens plus some tall english lavender (neither are cold hardy to our zone but I can grow the lavender from seed and purchase the Rosemary out of my annuals budget.) We had also talked about currents and/or Aronia down the whole length to incorporate some winter/fall interest and also Rose of Sharon..as you can see I need some guidance to stay on track! |

It is great that you have 40' of space for an edible hedge. Your idea of using aronia and currants is a good one as both of these can make very nice hedges and aronia has a lot to offer throughout the year as far as aesthetics. You might also look into chilean guava which would be good for the section that needs to be about 3'. Gooseberries would be good if you would like the hedge to act as a fence as they have thorns. |

If it doesn't have to be evergreen,there are some Serviceberries like Northline that I think are more shrub like than tree like.They can withstand very cold temperatures,something like -50F.Burntridge Nursery sells small plants and a place in Alberta,Canada has little and big ones. Brady |
I would probaly plan somewhere else for the lavender and rosemary if growing them as annuals. They are rather slow growing, low bushes, at least mine are. They are some of my favorite, low maintenance xeriscape plants, since I don't give any thought to them, here in the Phoenix area and I plan to add more, in the few full sun areas that I have. I love the rugosa rose idea. I had one when I was in NE OK. It will probably need a solid support and some pruning but I think you will really enjoy it. Another very low care, hardy plant. I'm planning on planting some shortly on a fence here, too, |
