No matter what kind of car, truck, or SUV you choose to drive, it says something about your personality. People choose (whether wittingly or unwittingly) vehicles that reflect their own personas and personalities – meaning that in some cases you can judge a book by its cover (or a driver by his or her car). What, then, does your Mercedes C43 say about you? Does it say that you are a classy person with impeccable taste? Does it say that you value the right things in life? Does it say that wherever it is that you're going, you have most certainly arrived? Or does it say that you've let some things slip – that you haven't put in the necessary time and effort to keep your vehicle in good condition? If the latter is true, you've got some work to do. Fortunately for you, owning a Mercedes is a great first step on the road to a well maintained automobile: Mercedes Benz regularly builds cars that are reliable and can run well for decades. Even a C43, however, is not able to maintain itself. It is your responsibility as an automobile owner and driver to keep tabs on your vehicle and ensure that it is in great condition from top to bottom. This means having the right Mercedes C43 Parts on hand at all times. Working on a budget? No problem. There are plenty of discount Mercedes C43 Parts out there for savvy drivers who want to keep their systems in optimum running condition. Plus, when you use genuine Mercedes Parts in your vehicle, you can know with certainty that you're putting quality where it belongs. Mercedes C43 Parts represent high-quality automotive engineering – and will be there to keep your car running for years to come.
We care about you, our customer. Check the status of your order via our website. Our professional sales staff is ready to take your order.

Last year I got wonderful input from you guys. I bought at least 15 knockout and carpet rose plants and planted them at different parts of the garden. I was hoping that the deer won't touch the roses. Oh boy!! little did I know. They are eating all the tips n buds. I sprayed and sprayed the Liquid fence, Deer away all kinds of stuff. I even re-sprayed after the rain. Not much help.
Bottom line - I dont have any rose flowers. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry to say that roses are like candy to deer. The only thing that really works is a tall fence. |
Well, a little qualifier to that - 1) If you have a neighbor that's closer to the forest (deers' home), then talk them into planting some Knock Outs. They'll hit his yard before yours. ;-) 2) Be creative - Deer do not like unstable footing, neither do they like unusual lights. I placed a number of reflective balls in one of my gardens and laid some store-bought trellis pieces around the roses. The idea is that the reflections from the balls un-nerve them and the trellis wood on the ground gives them the heebie-geebies with their footing. Those things seem to have worked with me. |

The furor over a city-owned empty lot in west Maspeth continued this week after the chairman and chief executive officer of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority sent a letter to a deputy mayor indicating the agency finds the lot suitable for an Access-A-Ride facility.
In the April 6 missive to Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Robert Steel, Jay Walder stated "the property situated on 49th [Street] in Maspeth, Queens would meet its needs," and that NYC Transit "is ready to begin the process with the city of studying the feasibility of constructing" the facility.
Earlier this year, the city asked the MTA to relinquish the Brooklyn waterfront site it now uses for Access-A-Ride vehicles so that the administration could install a park in Greenpoint. Last month, Maspeth civic leaders and elected officials blasted Mayor Bloomberg for even proposing the location without any community input.
On Monday, City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) announced his displeasure with the latest development.
"Any move to build a depot in Maspeth would take millions of taxpayer dollars to accomplish and it would be a disgrace for this city to take this funding away from our senior centers, libraries and schools to fund this irresponsible relocation," he said in a prepared statement.
Van Bramer's spokeswoman told the Chronicle on Wednesday that he "is considering all options including legal options at this point to deter this from happening."
Walder's letter said the Maspeth site would require a parking lot to accommodate 150 paratransit sedans and vans, and a small building to train operators.
"This space is needed when new vehicle orders are received and when old vehicles are retired," Walder noted. "In both instances, storage space is needed while vehicles are being processed into and out of commission. These vehicles would only be accessing the site once on their way in and once on their way out. They will not be traveling in or out of the location on any other basis. In no way would the Maspeth site be operated as a depot."
In March, Van Bramer said a deal for the location "was about to be sealed" until phone calls and letters to City Hall from area pols halted proceedings, citing the city's failure to include in the selection process any notice to officials and the community.
At the time, a city spokesman said "nothing is final and there are no plans to move [the facility] yet." City Hall did not return a request for comment this week.

117.5 million dollars in its first five days, according to studio estimates Sunday. The film post the second-best five-day figures for a movie opening on Wednesday, behind last year's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" at $124.1 million and ahead of "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace" at $105.6 million. "The Passion" was also the seventh-best three-day opening ever, behind "Spider-Man" at $114.8 million and such Hollywood blockbusters as "The Matrix Reloaded" and the first two "Harry Potter" movies.
.- Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" has become a box-office smash in the United States, bringing inDespite the sometimes vicious attacks by critics, Mel Gibson has begun considering his next Project which, according to his associates, may focus on the story of a martyr.
The success of the movie has rocked the film-making industry because of its limited marketing and exaggerated controversy. Film critics were especially polarized, with a little more than half praising the film and the rest mercilessly attacking Gibson's work.
Nevertheless, turnout was massive at cinemas across the country and online forums such as Yahoo! were inundated with positive comments on the movie.
Sources with ICON Productions informed CNA that the response has been so positive that despite the attacks, Gibson is considering the possibility of making another movie that would promote Christian values.
This time it could be the story of a Jesuit martyr whose name was not revealed.

More reviews by perfectionobsession
I was skeptical at first, for the price is high for a body lotion. Once I finished trying the sample, instantly I was spellbounded and had to get some more of it. The fragrance smells like high quality orange zests, which smells calming and gives off a clean moisturized feeling. The Vitamin C and E added to it is a real bonus for it conditions and protects skin from UV rays. Both of these vitamins are known to work together and absorb harmful UV rays. This is Pure HG material.
This is my first time buying a Fresh product and even though it's a bit pricey, I really do like it. The smell is nice and the lotion gets absorbed into the skin quite quickly. I use this lotion at night after a good shower and body scrub, and my skin feels smooth afterwards. The bottle is great and not messy too.

I love Fresh, I love many of their scents. I was REALLY suprised this became my favorite immediatley. I have always loved their basic lotion consistency, so it was a given i'd like it, but the scent is out of this world. May have to make it my signature if it doesn't get too popular!
Fabulous. If you like the scent, you'll love this body lotion. To my (inexpert) nose, it's a dead-on match for the EDP. It has the usual Fresh lotion texture and quality--thick and rich, but it absorbs easily and doesn't feel heavy on the skin, even in hot weather. The scent really does linger on the skin and bolsters the staying power of the EDP--I put it on 14 hours ago and I can still smell it. I wish the bottle had a pump, because it's difficult to handle with lotion-y hands, but that's a minor inconvenience. This is my new favorite summer scent--the one I've been most satisfied with in years.

285 Australian Delegation, United Nations, to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram UN760 NEW YORK, 14 August 1947, 10.46 p.m.
Security 449.
1. Council has adjourned until tomorrow following excellent speech by Sjahrir.
2. Earlier the Council reversed decision o[f] 7th August [2] and decided to invite Philippines to participate. Reversal was due to switch by France, Belgium and United Kingdom, who apparently hoped by supporting Philippines, to pave the way for invitation to East Indonesia and Borneo. However, Belgian resolution to invite the latter was defeated after long procedural debate, receiving support only from 3 Colonial powers and United States. We opposed invitation to participate on the grounds that Article 32 refers only to States parties to a dispute and that admission of East Indonesia and Borneo would create undesirable precedent.
3. Chinese who ha[d] asked to speak at previous meeting was then given the Floor. Speaking to our resolution in its original form [3] he [recalled] [4] that he had supported original Australian proposal of 31st July [5] and said that if accusations and counter accusations of breaches of cease fire order continued, our whole work would be imperilled. A commission to observe and report would be very useful. He could not praise too highly the Australian resolution both for what it included and what it omitted.
4. Shahrir's speech was well put together and moderate in tone. He stressed the following points:-
(A) Fact that independence [movement] was of long standing and not simply inspired by Japanese.
(B) Dutch discouragement of independence movement.
(C) Co-operation of Republic Government in disarming of Japanese troops and evacuation of civilian internees.
(D) Progressive deterioration of situation due to constant increase in Dutch forces.
(E) Dutch delay in signing of Linggadjati agreement and insistence on unilateral Jonkman interpretation. [6]
(F) Dutch naval blockade and violations of agreement.
(G) Dutch refusal to submit disputes to arbitration.
(H) Dutch repudiation of Linggadjati agreement and unprovoked attack.
He asked for- (A) A commission to be appointed by the Security Council (1) To proceed immediately to Indonesia.
(2) To supervise implementation of the cessation of hostilities.
(3) To report on law and order in areas seized by the Dutch when withdrawal takes place of Dutch troops to positions assigned to them by the truce Agreement.
(4) To guarantee that there shall be no retaliations.
(B) A commission to arbitrate all points of dispute, as to one and only means of ensuring a peaceful and stable solution of the Indonesian question. Sjahrir added in this connection .. . 'My Government has gratefully accepted the offers of both the United States good offices, and the Government of Australia's mediation or arbitration, as a constructive step towards the setting up of such a Commission'. He said the Republic would accept 'any impartial arbitration'.
5. After Sjahrir had spoken Van Kleffens said he had some declaration to make but would not indicate its nature. The Polish Delegate also intimated that he would propose amendments to our resolution. In the circumstances as it was clear that we would not have the opportunity of submitting additions to our resolution and obtaining a vote we agreed to adjournment on condition that Council meet again tomorrow.
6. Had our resolution as originally drafted [7] been voted on there is little doubt that it would have received almost unanimous approval. This would have redounded greatly to our credit and would have left the way open for further action directed to establishment of arbitration Commission. Even United Kingdom was prepared to support resolution Provided we clarified functions of Commission of observers. However your instructions to insist on arbitration proposal [8] have caused complications. We are still in grave doubt as to how best to present our proposal. China.
Colombia and Syria will probably support it but a majority vote is doubtful. We shall, however, have additions ready for tomorrow.

This is my 3rd year to design my Christmas card. I live in the small town in Texas where I was born and raised. Most of my cards go to old friends and family from here, so I try to do something with "our town" as the theme.
This year I took a picture of main street. Our only pharmacy is on the right and our only bank on the left. The old water tower is centered. We do have a new water tower, but this one has been here as long as I can remember. It was always the first thing we saw when we were coming home. Jammer and I love to ride motorcycles, so I incorporated a bike into the card. And of course santa had to be in town too! LOL On the inside I printed a Christmas poem. And on the back I added the bike again. I printed front and back on glossy photo paper so that the colors are very vivid. The inside I printed on green paper and attached to the inside of the card. I managed to print 9 or 10 and get them in the mail. then last night when I started to print some more....my printer died. So now, here I am ready to print and mail my cards, and don't want to blow the money for a new printer right before Christmas! I guess I will have to buy myself a printer for an early Christmas present. Merry Christmas!!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I love it, talk about talent!! that Santa and sleigh over the water tower is a nice idea too. |
Mary Ann, that is sooooo cool!! And your town looks so much like mine. I grew up not far from here, and my grandfather had among all his photos and stuff an old postcard of this town in the 30s or 40s. It's amazing, it has hardly changed at all. I say it's a town that time forgot. You did a GREAT job with the graphics. I know that will become a keepsake to be handed down among your family and friends. Also love your poem; did you write it? And ...ummm... would you do my cards next year??? ;-) |
Thanks Minnie and Lia. I do hope that my friends and family enjoy my cards as much as I enjoy doing them. Here are the other cards that I've made. As you can see, I like water towers! LOL 2001 - the snow is wishful thinking! I'm already thinking about next year's card. Our town is so small that I'm really limited to themes. I'm thinking about using a picture of the church. It's been there since I was an infant and the steeple is visible from all over town. I don't think I'll have Santa driving his sleigh over the steeple, though! LOL Maybe an angel would be more apprppriate. Lia, I'd love to help you with your card next year! But no printing!!! Oh BTW...I've ordered a new printer and computer. should be here next week! |

very inspiring...I think I'll be making some great valentine's day card from these ideas! Thanks for sharing |

Funding for Ph.D.s
Fellowships range from $24,500 to $34,500 per year for five years.
The Vanderbilt Graduate School and the Department of English offer a number of stipends and scholarships. Such awards are limited and competitive. Normally, financial awards are available only for students seeking fall semester admission. Amounts and conditions for each type of financial aid vary; see the DGS for details. Financial awards are paid out on an twelve-month schedule.
- The University Fellowship is given to the first-year student as a full scholarship involving no Departmental duties. Students who enter with the B.A. hold this award for the first year. Upon completing 24 hours of coursework and submitting a thesis, these students are awarded the M.A. degree. They are then eligible to teach one course per semester for the following four years as TAs. Students who enter with the M.A. also receive the UF and do not have any teaching responsibilities during the first year of study.
- The Teaching Assistantship is given only to students who have completed the M.A. (either at VU or elsewhere) by the beginning date of the award. TAs usually teach one section of a variety of 100-level English courses each semester for four years. If extra sections (and, thus, a larger stipend) are available, they are distributed by seniority and according to the quality of previous teaching. If in its annual review of all Program participants the Graduate Committee finds inadequate the progress of any student toward the degree (unmet course or language requirements, one or more "Incompletes," poor academic or teaching evaluations), financial support may be terminated. The TA is available for a maximum of four years.
- The Harold Stirling Vanderbilt Scholarship is a $6,000 topping-up award granted in addition to one of the awards mentioned above. This award is given to students entering the doctoral program and is renewable for up to five years. Its continuance is contingent upon satisfactory progress toward the degree. HSV Awards are competitive among applicants to all graduate programs in the University.
- The University Graduate Fellowship is a $10,000 topping-up award granted in addition to one of the awards mentioned above. This award is given to students entering the doctoral program and is renewable for up to five years. Its continuance is contingent upon satisfactory progress toward the degree. UGF Awards are competitive among applicants to all graduate programs in the University.
- The Arts and Science Select Scholar receives a $3,000 annual stipend in addition to the basic award. Applicants for the A&S Select compete with those for all graduate programs in the College.
- The Provost's Graduate Fellowship is a $10,000 annual topping-up award that supplements the student's base stipend for up to five years. The PGF recognizes students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds. Factors considered include racial, ethnic, socio-economic, or other considerations.
- Dissertation-Year Fellowships are available for students in the fifth year of work. These fellowships are service free, may vary in number each year, and are awarded on a competitive basis. Students interested in a Dissertation-Year Fellowship must submit the proper form (obtainable from the DGS office), a full curriculum vita, a copy of the Dissertation Proposal, a timetable of work for the dissertation year, and a letter of recommendation from the dissertation director. Applications and all supporting materials should be in the DGS office by April 1 of the academic year prior to the dissertation year. The Chair of the Department, in consultation with the DGS, makes the selection.
Additional Funding Opportunities Include:
Research Assistantships
Graduate students in need of extra money or who have reached their award limit may sometimes, with the authorization of the DGS, earn an hourly wage as a grader or research assistant for a faculty member.
Summer Research Support
Summer research fellowships are available through the College of Arts and Science, the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities, the Center for the Americas, and the Department. These fellowships support research, travel, and educational opportunities that contribute to graduate students' work. Contact the DGS office for details.
Fall and Spring Dissertation Enhancement Grants
The Graduate School conducts two Dissertation Enhancement Grant competitions each year. These non-taxable awards of up to $2,000 each are intended to add depth or breadth to the student's dissertation research. Two students are nominated for each semester. A student is eligible for only one grant during his or her academic career.
Travel Grants
Students may apply for one Graduate School Travel Grant per fiscal year (forms may be obtained in 329 Benson). Grants are limited: up to $500 for domestic travel and up to $1,000 for foreign travel. Students must be the sole presenter of research at a major regional, national, or international conference.
Academic Job Search Support
The English Department has a thorough program of mentoring and advisement for students seeking academic employment. This includes a grant to support travel and lodging at the annual MLA conference if a candidate has been invited to job interviews there. The DGS and the Placement Director can provide additional information about this support.

"Was revenge a factor in feds' Standard & Poor's action?"
The current crop of losers in DC only understand the blunt instrument of retaliation and ham handed responses. I guess they really did learn the "Chicago" way. For a couple other recent examples: Witness Greenwald's aide in London. Witness the Prime Ministers DIPLOMATIC plane being diverted and searched while looking for Snowden.

Democratic consultant Jason Stanford of the Huffington Post thinks he has made a scientific discovery by claiming "birth control doesn't cause abortions." And he thinks opponents of ObamaCare's abortion-pill mandate should throw in the towel.
In the weeks before Christmas, many Christians read about John the Baptist in the Gospel of Luke.
My wife and I recently started browsing through classic Twilight Zone episodes. Seems like a reasonable thing for religious conservatives to do in the Obama administration's America. But I wasn't prepared for just how relevant it would be.
The fact that Tyndale House Publishers, based in Carol Stream, has needed to take a stand in court against ObamaCare's abortion pill mandate should itself shock most Americans. The publisher simply believes that devout Christians in America are exercising religion when they publish the Bible and give the proceeds to religious charity. But even this idea is now disputed.
On Wednesday, Missouri lawmakers ignored the warnings of the Obama administration and overrode their governor's veto to enact religious exemptions to the abortion pill mandate.
President Obama's recent attacks on religious freedom through ObamaCare have far broader implications than the immediate crisis. The attacks not only strike at the very rights of conscience our Founding Fathers sought to protect via the First Amendment. The threat is also due to the underlying hostility to pregnancy and children that the president encoded into federal law.
The far-Left advocates now running elite societal institutions and the federal executive branch do not merely seek to legalize certain activities, they seek to coerce the rest of us to assist.
On Thursday September 29, 2011, the Alliance Defense Fund submitted a comment to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, pointing out the illegal character of HHS's proposal to mandate that the vast majority of religious entities, individuals, and insurance plans must cover abortifacients, contraceptive and sterilizing drugs, devices and information.
When the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently put forth their new health coverage mandates, people of faith – and particularly people of faith who operate and work for faith-based organizations – saw the pro-abortion administration's handwriting on the wall.

Meet our Senior Minister
Rev Rebecca Allen
Prior to accepting the position as Senior Minister of Circle's Edge Center for Spiritual Living, Reverend Rebecca Allen was a staff minister at the Albuquerque Center for Spiritual Living. For two years, she officiated over the Wednesday Night Gratitude Service.
Reverend Rebecca holds a Master's Degree in Consciousness Studies from the San Diego campus of Holmes Institute, as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communications from the University of Southern Colorado in Pueblo, Colorado.
Before stepping into her ministry full-time, Rev. Rebecca was a drug and alcohol counselor. She worked with men and women who were on probation or parole for drug related offenses and who also were diagnosed with a mental health issue. In that setting, she says, it is clear to see Spirit in action and the amazing way that miracles can happen, even under circumstances that we might judge as negative.
As a practitioner of Religious Science principles for over 30-years, Rev. Rebecca fully trusts the power of affirmative prayer. With humor, joy and gentle nudging, she guides the Circle's Edge family into a richer understanding of their divine nature and a fuller recognition of their spiritual potential.
You are invited to visit a service to meet Rev. Rebecca in person.

The holidays are a marathon, not a sprint. You're going here, there, everywhere, and keeping plenty busy while at your destinations. You're catching up with family and saying hello to old your friends. You're cooking feasts, pulling together fabulous outfits, and creating beautiful looks. But these all have on thing in common: work!
The most wonderful time of year is the most exhausting, too. So when you're in need of an hour of downtime, create a relaxing atmosphere with an at-home spa (or a wherever-you-happen-to-be spa). We've selected five items that will soothe and rejuvenate. Plus, all five would make an amazing, luxurious gift set.
Tokyo Milk Parfumarie Curiosite– Eiffel Tower No. 15 Bon Bon Bubbling Bath: You can't fully relax without the perfect bubble bath; and this choice is sure to satisfy with a beautiful scent and plenty of bubbles. Because the rule is that you can't leave the tub until the last bubble pops, right?
Wei – Golden Root Purifying Mud Mask: While you're soaking, detoxify your skin and hydrate with an ultra-soft mud mask. It boasts anti-aging benefits, and leaves skin smooth and brighter.
Sachajuan – Intensive Hair Oil: Use as a hair mask on damp hair by wrapping a towel around your head to lock in the heat and open up the cuticle. Hair will be strengthened and easier to style.
Bliss – Microwaveable Poetic Waxing Kit: Easy to use and gentle enough for sensitive skin. The stripless, low-heat, hard-wax hair removal system "shrink-wraps" hair without adhering to skin. Use on face or body for results without the long-lasting, tell-tale signs.
And for Ambiance…
Illume Balsam and Cedar Demi Mercury Candle: Beautiful to look at with a scent just as nice. The fragrance is a charming mix of balsam, oak moss, cedarwood, cinnamon and eucalyptus.

From all of us here at b-glowing to all of you, our devotees, we'd like to say: Happy Thanksgiving!
We're so very thankful for every single one of you, and we love to Make Beauty with you each day. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

And once you've reached your filling on stuffing, don't forget to get a head start on holiday shopping with our edited gift guides. No matter who's on your list, we can help you check them off.
Shopping for others can sometimes prove to be a bit…challenging. Your girlfriends' tastes vary; your coworkers have different interests; your mom is traditional, whereas your sister is trendy.
With so many personalities, you may feel forced to run from store to store, spending more time on the hunt than actually enjoying this magical time of year.
Well, we may not be elves, but b-glowing staff has worked hard so you don't have to. We've curated charming gift guides for absolutely everyone on your list—yes, including your man—and we've made shopping as easy as possible with price points, personality types, and product types, and even created exclusive holiday edits by beauty editors and industry trendsetters (Refinery29, Pretty Connected, and b-glowing).
We've done the hard part so you can do the fun part—spoil friends and family! Ready to shop without the hassle? Browse our gift guides here.

Take a look!
For this manicure I used OPI Ski Teal We Drop and Yodel Me On My Cell for the accent finger. Both polishes are from OPI's Swiss Collection and I got them in a swap with lovely Jessika at Polish Insomniac.
I wish you all nice and successful week!

''I don't want a pity job.'' That's what Michael J. Fox tells his boss, Harris (Wendell Pierce), on The Michael J. Fox Show. But he might as well be talking to you and me. His new comedy finds him sending up his image as Mike Henry, a beloved NBC news anchor who decides to stay home with his wife (Betsy Brandt) and kids after being sidelined by Parkinson's. Harris wants his anchor to make a comeback, but Mike isn't so sure. ''NBC's going to milk it by showing me in slow motion with lame, uplifting music,'' he sighs. Before long, that's exactly what happens, to the hilariously over-the-top, tearjerker strains of Enrique Iglesias' ''Hero.'' ''Guaranteed ratings!'' Harris exclaims, beaming.
The real NBC probably thinks the same thing. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991, has built a brave second career by refusing to take pity jobs. Instead, he's opted for roles on Rescue Me, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Good Wife that force fans to confront his tremors and stammering while challenging them to decide whether these characters exploit the disease for sympathy. The Michael J. Fox Show smartly trades off that history. By setting up a meta-world where ''Mike Henry's'' viewers react to manipulative TV cues with an outpouring of support, the show acknowledges that it isn't above using schmaltz to trigger a similar reaction. (Episode 2 features a warm-and-fuzzy voice-over about how family are ''the ones who love you no matter what.'') Whether that strikes you as refreshingly honest or just exploitative likely depends on how determined you are to love Fox, no matter what.
Luckily, he still has some of that Alex P. Keaton charm, and he's also helped by a strong supporting cast. Katie Finneran is deliciously inappropriate as Mike's sister, a loudmouth who pretends she's a single mother so that actual moms will listen to her rant about her problems. And Juliette Goglia is touchingly awkward as Mike's unself-aware daughter, who befriends a lesbian because she wants to have ''a diverse crew that doesn't pigeonhole people, unlike the jocks, the drama nerds, the mean girls.'' The critiques of self-serving political correctness are sharp, but when Fox swerves into more conventional family-comedy territory, with Mike's daughter tearing up because Dad ''never stopped being part of this family,'' it feels as manipulative as any sitcom, with or without the Parkinson's angle. Maybe those ratings aren't guaranteed after all. B

Bolotov, Alexander (2008) Tackling "until induction" in natural deduction for PLTL. In: Dennis, L.A. and Sorge, V., (eds.) Proceedings of the automated reasoning workshop 2008. University of Birmingham, pp. 12-13.
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/cicm08/workshop-proc/a...
We investigate the problem of induction in the natural deduction construction of propositional linear-time temporal logic. The well known induction with the "always in the future" operator has been an obstacle in our previous developments of the proof search. Here we modify the formulation of the calculus by introducing new rules to deal with the "until" operator, show the correctness of a modified system and define proof search strategies for new rules based upon fixpoint characterisation of the Until operator.

Bjork and David Attenborough team up for music documentary
Bjork and legendary broadcaster David Attenborough have teamed up for a music documentary.
Attenborough And Bjork: The Nature Of Music looks at the evolution of music, our relationship with music and how technology could impact this relationship in the future.
Directed by Louise Hooper, the film is set to be broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK, reports Hollywood Reporter.
It has been made by Pulse Films – who were also behind the Blur film No Distance Left To Run. The film's executive producer, Lucas Ochoa, has said of the documentary: "Born from Bjork's revolutionary music project [2011's 'Biophilia'] we are thrilled to be able to document this incredible journey with her; she is undeniably one of the most iconic figures in popular culture and truly pushes boundaries like no other artist does".
Bjork's multi-media 'Biophilia' project will feature strongly in the film, and Attenborough will show how music exists in the natural world, using footage of the lyre bird, reed warbler and blue whales.
Bjork and Attenborough collaborated last year, as the BBC presenter and naturalist provided an introduction and narration to Bjork's three-week Manchester International Festival residency, her first UK shows in three years. Bjork declared her admiration for Attenborough since childhood in a Rolling Stone interview, describing him as "my rock star".

The sys admin's daily grind: haveged Random Release
Random Release
Practical cryptography is often an encounter with many random numbers in just a few moments. Entropy is the raw material that gives birth to the random number, but it's harder to come by than you might think.
Creating havoc with a computer is an easy thing to do, but today, I need a more ordered kind of chaos: entropy. I need to generate high-quality random numbers with minimal predictability. Anybody who plumbs the depths of cryptographic functions will need a good and fast entropy generator at some time, say, to make sure that keys really are generated from genuinely random data, rather than predictable numbers.
You need to be creative to achieve high-quality entropy. Creative people have invented methods for generating random numbers from the bubbles in a lava lamp, the noise generated by feedback from a microphone input, and the luminance values of a camera sensor in a closed black box. All of these work really well, but they're slow.

I have recently moved to Inner Sunset, 4 blocks from the beach. I am excited about starting a new growing season. I have a courtyard at the back of the house, protected on all sides..... I am particularly interested in Dahlias, any annuals for a scented garden, and runner beans. Any suggestions on whether these will grow succussfully? Also if you have any additional suggestions please feel free to suggest them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
First, the inner Sunset is the opposite more easterly side of the district, you're in the outer Sunset. Dahlias can do well there if given full sun and wind protection, but will be prone to mildew if grown in too much shade. As the soil is nearly pure sand in this part of the Sunset, adding mulch and lots of compost will really help with water-loving plants like Dahlias. I'd suggest you look at the website for Annie's Annuals and cross reference her lists for fragrant plants and annuals and coastal plants. Some plants, not necessarily annuals, that give good scent without requiring heat might include various foliage scented Pelargoniums, Coleonema, Salvia clevelandii, Yerba Buena, Paperwhite Narcissus, Daphne odors, Osmanthus fragrans, Freesias to name a few choices. Also check out the Fragrance Garden at the SF Botanic Garden for an entire garden full of fragrant plant choices. |

Here are all my plants that could do well in San Francisco depending on the soil and the care you give them. Roses do not do that great. Hydrangeas will but they need a lot of compost and water. Things need a lot of care and fuss. What has failed is any plant marked water saving that needs heat. Tomatoes don't do well. I am always giving away plants that I have too many of. I can give you some of those. Not all of these plants are still around. I take the photos when they are doing well. |

I have a lemon tree, I am giving away if you are interested, or if anyone is from around san francisco area. I would post in exchange, but no one looks there. I posted a rose give away and someone contacted me six months later and it was too late, as i had given it away on craigs, but I would give to someone on garden web. This is a young eureka lemon, but I don't think it is a dwarf, I am not sure, but it bound to get too big for my yard and I already have a meyer lemon. If you post here, I should get a notification and I will contact via garden web. Make sure you allow email from other members. |
- Posted by greenhousems 6/7 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 4, 13 at 23:17
I am interested in any donations and will take very good care of the plants. Thanks so much for the kind offer. |
Welcome to The City! I hope the chilly last couple weeks haven't turned you off. My two suggestions: |
The Eureka will get huge, unless you are sure it is on dwarf or semi-dwarf stock. Make sure you site it properly. This one in my neighbor's yard was photographed from 45' away standing uphill from it. The peak of the garage roof behind it is at least 25' above the base of this tree: May I ask why you want annuals? Evergreen perennials are so much more satisfying here, where you are as likely to be sitting on the patio in January as you are in July. One suggestion to deal with the poor soil - half of CA is nutrient-poor sand and the other half is greasy adobe clay, IMHO - is to make a cohesive design and put in above-ground planters. The sand makes for great drainage! Go look at big box center nurseries as well, right now. You'll see what the "reliables" here are, which might be quite different than what you were used to. Enjoy eating at Park Chow and Gordo's Taqueria! How I miss the Crumpet Shop from the 1970's, sigh.....nothing was better than freshly baked crumpets with lemon curd and Devonshire cream (okay, it was the glass jar stuff, but still - yum!). |
- Posted by tropical_thought San Francisco (My Page) on Mon, Jan 7, 13 at 21:19
What a great tree photo! Lemons cost about one dollar each so imagine how much money that tree is worth. I do not think that one is dwarf, but it is given gone now. |
- Posted by greenhousems 6 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 8, 13 at 8:07
Thanks for all the replies and advice. The lemon tree is planted and looks like it is adjusting very well(thank you Tropical Thought). Why Annuals? I just think they add a little variety to the mix. I will keep you posted. That lemon tree photo is stunning. |
- Posted by tropical_thought San Francisco (My Page) on Tue, Jan 8, 13 at 12:25
Annuals are cheap fun. |
I guess it's whatever you like. I'd rather have hummers year-round on my cestrums, and a dozen Gulf Fritillary butterflies flitting around ten months out of the year on my passifloras. |

MISSOULA - Dan Nichols, one of the so-called "Mountain Men", was sentenced to 48 months in prison Thursday morning in Missoula in connection for working as a guard at former statewide medical marijuana dispensary that was raided by federal agents in March of 2011.
Dan Nichols was arrested in May 2012 for his involvement with Montana Cannabis where he did some construction and also worked as a night guard.
Prosecutors say Nichols and other defendants in this case manufactured and distributed marijuana all over Montana, including in Missoula, Billings and Helena.
Investigators also found 20 firearms, including pistols and assault-style rifles, which prosecutors say were used in the alleged drug distribution.
Dan Nichols had faced several charges, including manufacture of marijuana, possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking offense and felon in possession of a firearm.
Butte police caught up with Nichols in May of 2012, and arrested him on a felony drug warrant because he had failed to show up for a court appearance.
Nichols and his father, Don, became well-known for the 1984 kidnapping of an Olympic athlete near Big Sky.
Don Nichols, 81, is still serving time in the Montana State Prison for kidnapping a jogger in 1984 and then shooting and killing one of her rescuers. He is serving an 85-year prison sentence and had a parole request denied last April.
Don and Dan Nichols ambushed and kidnapped Kari Swenson, a world-class athlete who was 22 years old at the time, while she was running in the mountains in Big Sky. They forced her into the woods and chained her to a tree.
When rescuers arrived, Dan Nichols shot Swenson. Don Nichols shot and killed Alan Goldstein who was trying to rescue Swenson. The Nichols then fled into the mountains and were caught five months later.

The TEG-240WS is intended as an enterprise class product, but it has some significant performance improvements that make it work in a LAN Party setup or in a mixed home network for the enthusiast or Pro-Sumer. Advanced features like Jumbo Frame, Trunking, IGMP and VLANs make it a very versatile product.
The VLAN feature makes it practical to use as a single solution for a home office, home network, console network setup while the TEG-240WS' processor has the power to keep all of those networks running at top speed.
As the lines blur between what was formerly an enterprise only configuration and what we see in the future for home networks, products like the TEG-240WS will find their way into more and more homes. The price tag of249.99 USD will be a small price to pay for the features and functions, while products like Windows Home Server, Sage Media Server and other home media servers will only serve to quicken the trip of the TEG-240WS and its smaller bother, the 16-port TEG-160WS into the home.

Oct 24th 2011 11:23AM I saw the response to this in one of the WoWInsider liveblogs. Blizz say that this is something they are always considering and trying to figure out what to do. They said one of the things being talked about is keeping the total cap across all servers (50, I think) but removing the cap on individual servers. Nothing definite right now, though, but they are looking at the issue.
Blizzard introduces tradable "Guardian Cub" companion pet, purchasable through the Blizzard Store {WoW}
Oct 10th 2011 1:25PM I'm not convinced that this will put much of a dent in gold sellers. I think you will see a huge flood of these things into the market at the start, forcing the prices way down. This will likely scare a lot of the sellers out of purchasing more.
Because this is an item with a narrow market (pet collectors), I'm not sure how much it will replace illicit gold buying. If they did this with something like subscription time (as EVE does) it would likely affect gold sellers to a much greater effect. This is just an assumption, as I have not seen any stats on how PLEX effected the EVE gold seller market.

The Queue: What do GMs do ... {WoW}
Aug 30th 2011 11:20AM The important thing about AH fees (and anytime you give gold to an NPC, be it repairs or vendor items) is that it is a gold sink to help fight inflation.
Gold sinks aren't perfect, and there is inevitably inflation throughout the life of the game. But, there would be considerably more if it weren't for these sinks. Unlike real life, the ingame monetary system has no practical limit to generating currency. You just go out and kill stuff and get gold. In the real world, even though governments can just print dollars, they do it with a concern for inflation and try not to print too much.
There is a really cool episode of Duck Tales that deals with inflation and uncontrolled money supplies, I'll have to see if I can find the youtube clip.

text: Best known as the lead singer of Swedish pop stars the Cardigans, this is Nina Persson's first solo album released under her own name. Since the Cardigans' last album back in 2005, she collaborated with Niclas Frisk and Nathan Larson and released 'Colonia' as A Camp in 2009. She has also performed as part of the Citizens Band, and featured on a Sparklehouse/Danger Mouse collaboration called 'Dark Night of the Soul'. She started a family too, so it is fair to say she has not been resting on her laurels. "The most difficult and maybe also the best thing about going solo is probably all the decisions you make alone," Persson reflects. ""Somewhere inside, I have a very clear clock, a gut feeling,that says what I think. I have forced myself to just keep going and follow only my gut with this album. I have simply no time to dwell on things anymore which I did a lot before." Some navel gazing is expected though surely. The cover features a simple and obviously unpolished portrait of Persson. Her ruffled hair is no longer blonde and, yes, of course she looks older, but there is a directness and honesty about her as she gazes to your right.The title track and first single opens the album with electonica sparks and the flawless vocals we have come to expect. 'Burning Bridges for Fuel' is much more downbeat, while 'Dreaming of Houses' has a mix of gentle pop melody and country tinged guitars. 'Clip Your Wings' has delicate piano and a less polished and perfect vocal that stops it being too much of a run-of- the-mill track. 'Jungle' is a perfectly acceptable but uninspiring album filler but luckily 'Food for the Beast' picks up the tempo. The lyrics don't quite seem to fit but that is fine because it makes you pay attention.After the brief interlude that is 'Digestif', we return, refreshed to another perfectly nice but ultimately forgettable track called 'Forgot to Tell You.' I am a little confused by the former track. A digestif is an alcoholic beverage served after a meal, in theory to aid digestion, rather than a palate cleanser between courses. But I digress. 'The Grand Destruction Game' swoops and soars with a tale of bad boys and broken hearts. It is wonderful, and something to pick up the tempo.The album closes with the fairground-tinged 'Silver' and the intriguing 'This is Heavy Metal'. So, does Persson suddenly go all Iron Maiden? What do you think? The album closes with another track that combines simple melodies, clever but not arrogant lyrics and an angelic voice. There is more piano and less guitar driven tracks than her previous life in the Cardigans might lead you to expect. Persson has confidence and dignity and her commitment to honesty is the driving force behind this very solid solo debut. Track Listing

Felix Salmon, an Audit contributor, asked for an arbiter to look into the complaints of a writer named Sean Olender. Olender had e-mailed Salmon in May about a Market Mover blog Salmon wrote in 2007, attacking an opinion piece by Olender in the San Francisco Chronicle a few days before.
"I was certainly too bullish on lots of things back in 2007, so, if I was unfair to this chap I should probably say so," Salmon wrote, asking whether he owed Olender an apology.
Over the past two years, I've served as The Arbiter for The Audit, looking into claims by businesses about whether they had been fairly covered by the financial press, so this job fell to me.
First, a disclaimer: Although Salmon and I both write for The Audit and have exchanged group e-mails about a project on which we are both working, we have never met nor even spoken. I've read Salmon and listened to him on the radio over the past couple of years, but that's the extent of our relationship.
The crux of the dispute is an article that Olender wrote in December, 2007, expressing skepticism about something called the Master Liquidity Enhancement Conduit, or MLEC. Don't remember it? Don't feel bad. It was a short-lived idea that came and went in a matter of months during the chaos of the economy falling apart. And we don't really need to examine it in much detail to address Olender's complaint.
Olender e-mailed Salmon on May 18, 2011, with a subject line that said: "Still think that buying only 'high quality loans' was the purpose of the MLEC?"
He said, in part: "In retrospect you were quite a bull on mortgage securities and you believed that the investment banks did nothing wrong and the mortgage bonds were just peachy good stuff and only subprime was a problem."
He went on to say:
Your article about my article was very mean and unprofessional. It's one thing to have a problem with a person's position, but it's another to make a personal attack on a person you don't know. That was a sign you have not been adequately trained as a journalist.
One reason this rankled Olender so many years later, he said, is that "my life is not defined by this single issue, but my Google search results have your insulting article calling me an insane person as the number two entry."
He's right. A Google search of his name does turn up Salmon's attack as the second item. Olender is an attorney who manages a California law firm specializing in immigration and employment law and is an occasional writer.
And he is right, too, that Salmon owes him an apology. Let's start with the language Salmon used in his critique, in which he discussed what he called "a grossly irresponsible opinion piece…..this incendiary and meretricious column." He attacks Olender for suggesting that a mortgage-freeze plan was a fraud, aimed at protecting the banks from being sued by investors, and defends the banks as innocent middlemen, a view that has fallen apart in the investigations that followed the real estate collapse and the blow-up of mortgage investment vehicles that were so integral to creating the housing bubble.
Salmon wrote: "The real problem here is that Olender never makes the crucial distinction between subprime mortgage originators, on the one hand, most of whom were not banks at all, and the investment banks, on the other hand, who pooled and tranched and sold off the subprime mortgages to bond investors." The originators were responsible for the fraudulent loans, he wrote. "The investment banks are just middlemen…"
And again: "But the investment banks were just the middlemen, funneling supbprime mortgages from originators to investors who were desperate or yield." While we still don't know the full story of who knew what about the quality of the investments that the banks were selling their customers, we know enough now—including the fact that Goldman Sachs was betting that the investments would fail at the same time it was still marketing them—to view the investment banks with a jaundiced eye.
What's more, we forget, but investment banks actually bought subprime originators themselves, precisely, in fact, to cut out the middleman, in this case, originators: Merrill Lynch owned First Franklin, Lehman Brothers owned BNC, Bear Stearns owned Encore Credit, Citigroup owned CitiFinancial, and so on. To call the I-banks mere middlemen is wrong on more than one level.
In general, I think Salmon's view of the banks, even for 2007, erred on the side of trust. But I don't fault him for holding that view. I fault him for the lack of respect he had for someone with a different view—that, and for the "non-sophisticates-keep-out" attitude of the piece.

Hi all.
I have three different gooseberry bushes and only one is currently affected by these problems. It is called Poorman's Gooseberry and apparently isn't as resistant to these problems as my other two. Do you guys know of any tricks to help save this plant? I've been pulling any dead leaves and putting them immediately into the yard waste bin to prevent the spores from hanging about in the soil. Leaf spot
Powdery Mildew - harder to see because this problem just started. I blame the heavier than usual rain fall in the past couple weeks here in Seattle

I would put a couple leaves in a zip-lock bag and take it to you local extension agent or a good nursery. As for the powdery mildew try 5 parts water 1 part milk with a drop of dish soap, |

I had an had a gooseberry that was especially prone to Leaf Spot. I realized that the same Immunox that I spray to keep Cedar Apple Rust and scab off my apples was also rated for Gooseberry leaf spot. So, the gooseberries get the same spray as the apple trees. 2 birds with one stone. Problem solved. -Glenn |
I think Kocide copper spray helps too. Done early in season's growth, I believe. |
