I had never made one before. I really don't know why. Maybe because I always knew people who made some delicious cheesecakes and I didn't need to make them myself (just like in the case of pumpkin pie) But now that they are so far away, I need to start experimenting and making my own. They are really not that difficult to make. All I needed to get was the springform pan, which I bought for about $12 USD at a baking and raw materials.
I was going to make it last weekend for New Year's, but the power at my parents' house failed and didn't get fixed until very late so I decided to wait until this week. I first thought about making a pumpkin cheesecake, but I've made a couple of pumpkin desserts for my family before and I wanted a little change. So I thought to include a "more Mexican" ingredient and since it is guava season down here now and I love guava, making this cheesecake was a no-brainer and it turned out delicious!
- •1½ cups wafer or graham cracker crumbs
- •1/2 cup butter melted
- •2 TBSP sugar
- •1 cup guava paste or 1½ cups of mashed fresh guava (see note below)*
- •2 cups sugar
- •1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- •4 8oz (225) packages of cream cheese at room temperature
- •4 large eggs
- •1 TBSP lime zest
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) Butter a 9" springform pan.
- Mix crumbs, butter and 2 TBSP of sugar. Press over the bottom of the pan. Bake until almost dry, about 10minutes and set aside.
- Heat guava paste and lime juice over medium high heat whisking constantly until the paste melts or whisk together mashed guava with lime juice in a small bowl.
- Beat the cream cheese and 2 cups of sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time. Add lemon zest, guava mix and keep beating until well mixed.
- Pour into crust and bake for 50-55 minutes or until the top is firm and the filling no longer jiggles when shaken.
- Turn the oven off, open the oven door and wait about 10 minutes before taking it out.
- Let it cool on a rack before transferring to the fridge. Cool for at least 3 hours before dismounting.
- Serve with fresh guava or lime slices, whipped cream and enjoy!
The original recipe called for vanilla, but my mom pointed out that it would reduce the flavor of the lime. I'm glad I listened to her.
¡Buen provecho!

Oh this is a must make. I just bought a bag of guavas at the local market. LOVE THEM. Thank you
Wow, Ben. Once again you have punched me in the face with a fist of delicious.
Oh, Ben, my, my…you've done it again. Ruined my waistline. I could eat guavas on cardboard, I love them so much–but now I don't have to. What a welcome recipe to my repertoire! Thanks!
It is so difficult fro me to get guayabas in my neighborhood. I have to always ask my friends who live in certain neighborhoods to get things tropical.
I know the combination must be delicious. I will keep this recipe for future use.
Interesting combination! I love guava and this cheesecake look delicious : )
Un saludo
OMG! Its been many years since I had guavas. I think i need to visit Mexico to find all my favorite fruits to eat; it's nearer than India:-)
Very unique flavors Ben, and I bet the lime adds that refreshing touch.
I was thinking lime the other day too! This sounds great…I love cheesecake and the addition of guava and lime must lighten and brighten this up so nicely. Yummy!
A springform pan is definitely a must have for a baker like yourself! I hope this was as good as it looks.
esto se ve super delicioso… me imagino que toma mas tiempo que tengo para dedicarle! who doesn't looove guava!?! and i love the chocolate stirer in your banner. I've trying to get my hands on one for a while now.

PLANO, Texas-The struggle within J.C. Penney's board of directors continued with Bill Ackman releasing a second letter to the board calling for the replacement of Thomas Engibous as chairman by Allen Questrom.
The controversy is over the pace at which the board is searching for a CEO to succeed Myron "Mike" Ullman. In the second letter, released on Friday, Ackman, head of investment firm Pershing Square Capital Management, owner of the largest block of J.C. Penney's outstanding shares, said, "I have lost confidence in our chairman's ability to oversee this board." He added that Questrom, the former chairman and CEO, would step in—as Questrom himself said in an interview with CNBC last Thursday—under "certain conditions." One of these would be a commitment by the board to accelerate the CEO search process.
Ackman expressed concerns that normal processes of hiring and firing employees were not being followed, that decisions were being made without the board's consent and that crucial information was not being shared with the board. He cited the recent hiring of former Kraft marketing executive Debra Berman as senior vice president of marketing (which, he said, was done without an opportunity for the board to interview Berman), and "aggressive" purchases of inventory and future commitments for later this year and into 2014, which J.C. Penney has made in spite of financial projections that show the company's financial position as worsening, according to Ackman.
Following this letter, later on Friday, Engibous released a brief response in which he characterized Ackman's statements as "misleading, inaccurate and counterproductive." Engibous said the board "is following proper governance procedures, and members of the board have been fully informed and are making decisions as a group. This includes the CEO search process, which is being conducted at an appropriate pace. The board also continues to actively oversee management as it conducts the important work underway to rebuild the company."

I was invited to a Titanic theme party and decided to sew my costume myself.
I found a lot of pictures in the internet and finally decided to try to replicate a dress, that Kate Winslet (Rose) wore in the movie. With the difference that I chose a dark blue fabric instead of a red one.
I inteded to sew on a lot more embellishments but unfortunately I ran out of time. However, I am pretty happy with the result and the party was amazing!
Satin, net lace, sequin trim, several embellishments

The [artist id="1833864"]Game[/artist]'s new LP, The R.E.D. Album, was not inspired by him being a Blood. It's not a clever play on words or some type of tip of the fitted cap to [artist id="1269"]Jay-Z[/artist]'s Black Album. Nah, the Compton native's CD is all about him restarting his engine.
"The R.E.D. Album , people think the R.E.D. stands for gangbanging. I am what I am. … R.E.D. — that's rededicated. Rededicated to hip-hop … to my 'hood, Compton. Rededicated to my family, rededicated to everything."
And yes, that rededication means the end of Game's retirement talk. He says the album will be out in '09, and he's already been in the studio with Timbaland, J.R. Rotem, Drumma Boy and former Aftermath producer Mike Lynn. Cool and Dre are scheduled to come in on the album, and Game also hopes to track [artist id="1230523"]Kanye West[/artist] down for beats.
"The R.E.D. Album is about to be serious, man," he promised. "It's a step up. The R.E.D. Album, it's a little soulful, I gotta say. Still gangsta — we getting it in. I'm keeping everything on wraps right now.
"This album … it's gonna be different," he added. "I was wondering to myself how I'm gonna elevate myself and even change the field. Three albums … what do you talk about after three albums? I ain't selling crack and gangbanging and shooting sh– up. My beefs have been down-low. So what do you really talk about? I just wanna rap, man. I just wanna do music. Whatever it turns out to be, it turns out to be. Long as every song has that collective feel — they gel — then we good. I'm just gonna rap this time."

Shelbyville Police Reports
George W. Ridener Jr., 28, of Chaplin, Ky., was arrested Jan. 15 in Shelbyville and charged with second-degree burglary and second-degree assault.
Tanya Rosenberger, 34, of Louisville, was arrested Jan. 18 on Mount Eden Road and charged with failure to pay fines on a warrant out of Jefferson County.
Michael E. Barnett, 48, of Shelbyville, was arrested Jan. 17 on Sycamore Terrace and charged with alcohol intoxication on a warrant from another agency.
The Shelbyville Police Department are asking for assistance in solving several theft-related crimes.
Two are burglaries.
In this day in age when economic woes flood the headlines and more and more people struggle to pay their bills, Ervin Benner has it figured out.
"Back when we were busy, you didn't pay attention to it, you paid the bills and moved on," Benner said. "Now you have to watch your money because the economy is slow, and that's right off the top of your pocket."
Benner owns Terhune Body & Frame Shop in Shelbyville, and he has implemented a way to cut his yearly gas expenses by thousands.
It took crews at Wakefield-Scearce Galleries nearly 11 months to prepare for the store's annual holiday extravaganza. It took shoppers only days to ravage it.
A rush on ornaments and decorations at the Washington Street antique dealer has left some trees lopsided –– and others almost bare –– since the gallery debuted its holiday stock last month.
Gov. Steve Beshear has declared Kentucky to be in a state of emergency because of the winter storm that continues to rage across Shelby County throughout the state.
Beshear held a press conference to make his announcement and said in a statement that
his declaring the emergency will assure assistance and protection by mobilizing state resources to assist cities and counties, doing everything possible to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents.
"We are prepared to use every available resource to help Kentuckians make it
If you have looked around Shelby County in 2008, you didn't have to look very closely to notice many wonderful and remarkable things take place.
Lives were improved, facilities were built, kindnesses were extended, and individuals stepped foward to "pay it forward" by turning one good deed into another.
Kennethia R. Lysher, 37, of Shelbyville, has been indicted by the Shelby County Grand Jury on 72 counts of unauthorized procurement of a controlled substance.
Lysher was arrested Aug. 4 at Smith-McKinney Drug Store and charged by police with obtaining a prescription by fraudulent means. She was indicted by the grand jury on Wednesday.

The World War II era was one of great evil and heroics, so it makes sense that so many movies are made to share its stories.

Mary A. Cubert of Shelbyville was arrested Oct. 22 at Midland Trail and Ashland and charged with DUI, first offense and disregarding a stop sign.

Is Amakasu telling the truth or is Erica really in love with Godou?
It can be bit slow if you guys and gals want to know why the Campione are fighting each other. Lots of questions is brewed by this episode. Who is Pandora and Epithemus and other things pop in. Answers will come soon. Overall, this episode is great and has more fan service than the first episode. You can see Erica's butt at the beginning of the episode. However, Arianna is more funnier in the first episode.
Please enjoy the images. For more images, check out the episode 2 gallery or the characters' galleries.

CSS List Menu - Menu parent item does not remain active
Hi Experts,
I am using a simple CSS List Menu & facing a very little problem.
Please have a look at the menu here. The sub menu appears fine but when I move my mouse over the sub menu items, the parent menu item does not remain active. It should show the hover state when sub menu is appeared & user is moving his mouse over the sub menu items.
Sorry for my poor English
Waiting for a quick response...

You'd need to apply the hover effect on the list items rather than on anchor. And you may need to add some javascript fix for IE6.Code:.topMenu ul li a:hover {styles.css (line 80) background:transparent url(images/topMenu_bg.gif) repeat-x scroll 0; }

Hello Uzair,
I can't seem to get it to work.
I did move some padding off the li and onto the a so the link and the dropdown button are the same size. Like this:Code:} .topMenu ul li ul li { display: block; font-size: 13px; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; color: #fff; background-color: #182841; } .topMenu ul li ul li a { display: block; width: 206px; color: #fff; padding: 6px 4px 6px 10px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; }
Still looking at the other problem... It doesn't seem to work very well at all in FireFox.
It is missing a closing tag for #wrapper
Validate often DURING development - Use it like a splelchecker | Debug during Development |Write it for FireFox, ignore IE
Use the right DocType | Validate your markup | Validate your CSS | Why validating is good | Why tables are bad

Thank you, it worked.
Now just for my knowledge... what "scroll 0" does?

An 18-year-old Northampton woman is accused of hitting a jogger with a plastic air freshener she allegedly threw out of her SUV last month.
Northampton police say the incident happened in the area of Carmelia Drive and West Lynford Road on Oct. 11. He told police the car's driver threw what he initially thought was a bottle out of the window, police said. The object, later identified as an air freshener, allegedly struck the jogger on the shoulder. The man wasn't hurt, but was alarmed, according to the probable cause affidavit.

"So how do you value a company whose customers can switch, at the click of a button, to the competitor? They are worth no more than last quarter's profits."
Like Amazon? Or Nestlé? Or Coca Cola?
If it's easy to switch away from, then the barrier is also low to switch to it in the first place. I wonder just how many potential customers are lost by firms, put off by lock-in schemes of one kind or another. Not just in software but in all kinds of services.
Try transfering your calendar from Microsoft Outlook to say iCal on a Mac. You seem to be locked in. In fact open source comes to the rescue as you can do it via Google' s calendar aplication. And with Open Office you can save files in all sorts of formats. In fact the lock in is not so much with cloud computng snce first you have to be able to get your data into it anyway and where there is a way in there is a way out. No the lock ins are with the likes of Microsoft which uses data formats that just suit them and no one else.
Just look at the latest version of IE - for the most part it copied the superior functions (multiple tabs and other customizing options) of its open-source competitor, Firefox. Thus, it seems like open-source will not only lower costs, but come out on top in the long-run.
Simple economics is driving customers to open source software. For the past eight years I've been using a first-rate Finnish parser/tagger for computational linguistics programming. Two years ago they decided that the $6K/server annual fee they were charging would be multiplied by the number of cores in the server. All of my new work requiring a parser/tagger from now on will be using OpenNLP. Cost? Nothing! While it is a LOT slower than what it is replacing it doesn't come unstuck when forced to parse bad text. I figure that Moore's Law will make the slower execution time irrelevant within 2-3 years and I can already access a much larger market now that I don't have to hock my soul to the Finns.
Similarly, I've dumped Statistica, who charged you the whole cost of their package every time they released a new version, for R, an open source stat pack which is quite good.
Open source software has won. It's all over but the shouting and the inevitable buying of Congress by software giants in the same manner that the RIAA and MPAA twisted copyright law into something unrecognisable in the last twenty years. It's the ruin of the USA that it's elected representatives are such money grubbing whores for whoever wants to buy them.
That said, open source software is the state of the art and has been for maybe five years. Open source technology is the bleeding edge these days. The open source Reprap project has recently managed to create a 3D printer that can be built for about $1K that does the work of a commercial 3D printer costing $30-50K. Not only that, but it uses widely available feedstock that costs maybe 1/20th what commercial 3D printer vendors charge. To add insult to injury, it can also print most of its own parts just in case you need another 3D printer.
The article is accurate but may have missed the process a bit. What is happening is just that each new product becomes a commodity in time, just as products always have. In some products this leads to generics, but in software it tends to lead to open source. MS Office, say, is being replaced by cloud equivalents or by OpenOffice and the like because it has not changed significantly for a long time.
When new services like Facebook reach effective stability the same will happen to them. Look for example at IM (instant messaging) services - which are becoming increasingly standardized.
You would think that a media organization that calls itself "The Economist" would make conclusions based in economics. I can sense another bubble is about to burst, and it's probably not the one you're thinking.
This article is seriously flawed. The author correctly implies that migrations from one provider to another are painful, however, he provides little detail as to WTF is involved in the migration. Migrations depend on a number of factors such as the amount of data, the type of data, and complexity in which the data is used/accessed/stored/etc.
Cloud computing will not make data migrations or switching applications any harder than it already is. Changing vendors and/or service providers is what is painful, not cloud computing. But this is hardly news and the author is misguided in writing as if cloud computing is somehow going to change the revolutionary pain of information system migrations.
On another note, the Inquisition-like business practices of companies like Microsoft, Oracle, EMC, etc. are changing rather quickly because their stranglehold on their respective market sectors and armies of lawyers have been diminished by regulations, innovations, and competitors who could not be bought and/or buried. Microsoft wouldn't need so many lawyers if their product was worth a lab rat's needle prodded ass. They still make products that make the users its hostages. Ultimately, their customers will continue to look for an alternative (it will take a few years but it's already happening) because no one likes bullied by the product they purchased. Good products, good service, and good relations with customers will always determine the long term success of any business. When was the last time you got this from MS Vista?

I take it you're not a Google investor, then.
This is a great article and describes one major [future] problem of cloud computing. Indeed, we need standards and cloud companies that use and respects these standards.
Vendor lock-in should be something a user/company intentionally does by being 'faithful' the cloud service that he/she/it uses: eg, you might want to pay the license of Microsoft Office because you love the extra features it provides NOT because its output files are not compatible with free office applications.
Cloud Computing faces challenges, but portability is not one of them. To export multimillion row objects of your company's data from Salesforce.com, for example, to Zoho, is fairly simple. It's also fairly straightforward to rewrite custom code from APEX to straight Java, thereby porting your custom code and web-to-back-end toolkits.
The biggest challenge is the inertia created by flat earth IT employees and older CIOs, who believe a company's data is more vulnerable in the cloud than it is in the home office's datacenter. Bunk. More non-trusted hands get to the code and the data in your home-spun datacenter, particularly if you have an outsourced partner in India performing Database administration, code control, development, Quality Assurance or other tasks.
The level of trust attained by the leading Cloud computing companies is par with the world's most secure and largest publicly held companies' IT infrastructures, and probably superior. Furthermore, the cloud architectures ensure that malware (malicious software components) cannot be inserted into standard code structures created by their clients. That would be as unlikely as a car whose tires can destroy freeway asphalt.
Inertia, more than portability will cause a slow adoption curve for cloud computing. This is good for SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and HP, whose R&D in cloud services is 8 years behind today's offerings by Salesforce.com, Zuora, Amazon and Cisco.
To transfer your data from MySpace to Facebook, you could write a script in Perl, which is open source.
How infantile are we?
This is only a new way for busiesses to get their hooks into an internet revenue stream.
What wonderful things Google hath done for us. Um, and what even more wonderful things hath they done for themselves.
How many people realize that Google keeps every search request each of us has ever made? No doubt they love us and will always be our best friend. So how do they really make all that money?
I am reminded of another (and well documented) quote: "Free at last. Free at last! Thank God almighty, free at last!
RIP Microsoft and their hairball software.
So how do you value a company whose customers can switch, at the click of a button, to the competitor? They are worth no more than last quarter's profits.
As for winning and losing, that is done by a mass of programmers learning and coding in your language/on your platform. There is a cost to learning new languages and new tool sets. Programmers learn new languages and tools of course, but they need a reason. The winner is whoever can convince a sustainable mass of programmers to learn their product. Because you write code in what you know.
I think there's a general problem with use of the word "cloud" in articles about this subject. For instance, cloud computing can mean Google Documents, where your spreadsheets and MS Word-like documents can be authored, or Amazon EC2, which can run an entire computing environment, analogous to VMWare on demand.
I expect to be able to move spreadsheet documents between OpenOffice, Microsoft Office, and Google Documents (even though you can't import large spreadsheet documents into Google Docs yet). This is due to there being established open (or semi-closed, in the case of Microsoft) formats for spreadsheets. However, I don't yet expect to be able to move an entire virtualized computing environment from Amazon EC2 to Google's virtualized computing services, whatever it may be called. Only when there is an open standard for describing this virtualized computing environment will we be able to do so. This is an important distinction which this article fails to make, as is often the case in articles about cloud computing.
'The Economist' correctly stated, "The argument has been won. It is now generally accepted that the future will involve a blend of both proprietary and open-source software."
When Microsoft begins to shiver and shake at the reality that Open Source / Linux has made immense inroads into the mainstream of the IT industry at the personal and corporate level, then you know the argument has indeed been won.
I use happily use Linux for my desktop and business / accounting needs. It is an excellent substitute for any Microsoft Operating System. What it currently lacks are an Adobe Photoshop, Xara Xtreme, AutoCad open source replacement. Add some high quality games to this list as well. Once this is done, you will see the switch to Linux / Open Source being made in droves. Well done coverage "The Economist"!
Open source computing has been fought tooth and nail by the proprietary vendors right back to the days of IMB's domination prior to the emergence of the Microsoft monopoly. Then it was the de facto monopoly IBM 360/70 standard, fought by using Unix, subsequently the battle with Microsoft, fought by using Linux. Apple Mac could have successfully been the standard for PCs instead of Microsoft,except that Apple Corp insisted that their software be only available on their own hardware platform instead of making it available to all and sundry, charging just a licence fee. For which they paid the price of failure. Microsoft continues to go the monopoly route which ultimately will fail. The only question is when?
Its the role of the International Standards committees to establish the interfaces. As they have done in telecommunications and other areas. Governments, be it the US Federal or the European Union and member States have played a major role in breaking the monopoly abuses of the proprietary vendors, enforcing Open Standards within the Public Sector. As have organisations such as the BBC which use Unix/Linux for their own platforms.
Bear in mind that all capitalist enterprises want maximum competition for their rivals and total monopolies for themselves. In that respect Microsoft runs true to form!
To be honest, I'm not worried about this. Open-source software did not succeed by campaigning against evil corporates. Rather, commercial vendors know that openness both addresses concern and reduces cost at the same time so they adapt to it. Similarly, data portability in cloud computing is a legitimate concern, and firms will race to solve this problem. The industry is already well on their way to address this issue cooperatively.
Like all new technologies and applications, the first waves of users will have to make some choices and some will receive the pain (like HD-DVD users) but this is not at all a threat to openness in computing.
The Cloud (internet) is now a managed Commodity get use to it. Just like phones companies, Utility companies,etc. The war was/is being won by Open Source. The next generation could care less about Operating Systems,Location, PCs at home or work. Let go further how about the Browser built into the TV. With commercials being sent to you via Email if you click on it because you want more info. Its already happening and faster in Euro/Oriental countries. The US may invent some of this stuff but the rest of the world implements faster.
The browser/Application will rule not the OS.(thought Open Source is leading this charge) The browser will be/can be on TV,Cell Phone, ATM kiosks,Govt. building etc. and for you 19century types... home PCs as well. (next gens seem to like netbooks)
Remember when everyone had a home phone number? Thats disappearing same with this trend. In China they didnt even bother putting up telephone poles they put up cell towers.(Leaped a generation of technology)The internet will be everywhere.
Oh and remember the annoying Blue screen of death? that will go away as well. In the Virtualized/SAN/24/7/365 world with redundant power and backbones to the internet, the service will always be up. All you will need is a way to log on.
All this was thanks to Open Source. The standards debate will die down with time. The ultimate will be when the Net become like your refrigerator: you open the door get what you want and close it. No special training/software or drama. Bring it on!

Long-time prosecutor, district attorney finishes career in the 14th
Saturday, January 10, 2009
Craig A long-time area prosecutor used part of her Friday morning to remove three framed degrees, reminders of a family heritage in law, from a wall in her office at the Moffat County Courthouse.
Printed on the degrees were the names: Carl H. Smith, a 1911 New York University graduate, Carl H. Smith, Jr., a 1958 University of Wyoming graduate, and finally, at the end of the line, Bonnie Smith Roesink, a 1986 University of Colorado law school graduate.
"I guess I can take these down now," Roesink, the 14th Judicial District Attorney, said about the law degrees earned by her grandfather and father, respectively.
The packing was among some of the final acts of Roesink's more than two-decades-long career as a prosecutor, all of which were spent in the tri-county 14th Judicial District.
A polarizing figure during her time with the District Attorney's Office, Roesink has been the target - and survivor - of two recall efforts, the center of criticisms for office turnover and a few controversial cases.
She's also been a leader in the effort to implement the Moffat County Drug Court system, a district attorney whose office has collected murder, drug distribution and sexual assault convictions, and an overall 22-year public servant.
If it sounds like a roller coaster of career ups and downs, especially in the past several years, Roesink would agree.
She began her career as a deputy district attorney in 1987 in the Craig office, was appointed district attorney by Gov. Bill Owens in 2003 and re-elected in an unopposed bid a year later.
She did not run for re-election in 2008, and her term is expiring.
Her last official act as district attorney comes Wednesday when she passes the torch to Elizabeth Oldham - her assistant district attorney and winner of the November general election - during a swearing in ceremony in Grand County.
"I feel like I've contributed in some way to my community," she said Friday, near the sunset of her career. "I'm very pleased I made that decision. Even with the bad parts, I'm glad I did it."
'Do the right thing'
Roesink's path to law wasn't traditional.
The daughter of a nurse, Roesink graduated pre-med in 1965 from the University of Wyoming with the intention of enrolling in medical school and becoming a doctor.
However, a woman interviewing her during the admissions process at the University of Colorado medical school warned her about the difficulties of being a doctor and having a family, and Roesink's desire to become a physician faded.
She spent the next 1 1/2 years mulling her future while working as a flight attendant for Braniff International Airways. She helped transport U.S. troops into Vietnam during the war.
In 1967, Roesink quit the airline and married a Braniff airlines pilot. They had a son, John, and she was a homemaker until her boy was 10 years old.
At 40, she drew on her family's history in law and enrolled at the University of Colorado.
In March 1987, she was interviewed and hired for the 14th's Craig office by then-District Attorney Greg Long, becoming one of only two prosecutors in the office.
Her beginning was less than storybook.
She remembers early setbacks such as losing a preliminary hearing on a bad check case and, later, an assault trial.
"But, I got better after that," she said. "I guess it clicked before too long."
After the other office prosecutor resigned, Roesink was the only deputy district attorney in Craig. For six months, she handled all of the Craig office's cases.
But, while the beginning was difficult, it also was invaluable in shaping the future. She came away with pieces of wise advice that she said stayed with her all these years.
"Treat everyone with respect, even the defendants that come into your office," she said. "I've always tried to tell my people to do that."
And the other:
"Do the right thing," she said. "That's what I've always tried to do, the right thing. : That's been the philosophy ever since I've been here. Sometimes it's very, very difficult. But I think it's extremely important.
Cases that 'wear on you'
When asked Friday about the most troubling case she's worked on as a prosecutor, Roesink asks to go off the record.
She relays a story she doesn't want in print, and one that is indeed difficult to stomach.
Her eyes go moist.
"I think cases," she said, "have gotten much more serious."
The most gnawing offenses revolve around crimes against children, she said.
"The kids," Roesink said. "Sexual assaults against children, child abuse. Those are just terrible. They take a lot out of you. They wear on you."
Watching the community be battered by methamphetamine hasn't been easy, either.
In the beginning of her career, there were drug cases, but nothing comparable to what meth has become to Moffat County, she said.
"It's the worst drug we've ever seen," said Roesink. "We've tried so hard to fight it."
She said her office has tried to take a hard line on distributors, and give second chances to the common user.
The drug court, which Roesink and others helped implement, is an attempt to make a dent in the meth problem. The court combines the judiciary and probation departments in a last-ditch effort to keep users out of prison and put them into treatment.
If she leaves a legacy behind, Roesink said, it's that she helped push the program through.
DA's office in good hands
The other part of her career that she takes the most pride in stems from the attorneys she has hired.
"I've had some incredible people work for me," Roesink said. "You don't find attorneys like that in most rural offices."
She was surrounded by some of those attorneys at a retirement party Friday afternoon at the Center of Craig, where friends, family and colleagues joined to bid her farewell.
Roesink mentioned Jon Pfeifer, a first-year Moffat County Court attorney.
"He is doing super," she said. "He is a really wonderful person."
She talked about Jeremy Snow, the office's felony prosecutor:
"I could see him : running (for district attorney) when (Oldham) was done. He's a great attorney, a wonderful trial attorney."
And she's also pleased that her assistant, Oldham, will be taking charge come Wednesday.
"She's going to do a great job," Roesink said. "A great job."
Roesink said she plans to take a year off before deciding what to do next. Volunteering or working as a mediator are two of several options, she said.
Politics, she added, isn't.
"I'm out of politics," she laughed. "I learned my lesson."
She also intends to spend time with her second husband, Dave Schwerin, an owner of Moffat Insurance, whom she married in 1990, and her mother, son and grandchildren in Denver.
All in all, through the career hits and misses, the criticisms and the praise, Roesink said it's rewarding to have gotten through it all, come out on the other side and today be able to exit on her own terms.
"It's bitter-sweet," Roesink said about leaving her law career behind. "I'll miss parts. But I'm glad to be moving on to something else."

very often the pictures that go with the story are over the article and it makes it unreadable...... Is there anyway to fix it? It is very frustrating.

oldsage, what did you do now to get removed? must have upset someone that's for sure
oldsage 6 years ago
Well lonely, I do not know the reason, but I think you are correct in someone being upset. I am not sure if it was telling the truth about the subject person or if it was the content of my explanation of the legislation Bill Ritter signed into law. I know that stating the unflattering truth in this town against a member of the "chosen few" has in the past been reason enough to have comments removed from this forum.
I am sure the subject person was upset. All I did was to take a direct quote from the article in question in which someone claimed they always did the right thing and said it was a lie. And backed it up with the fact that the person in question publicly supported Bill Ritter who signed legislation into law that as it reads outlaws the printing of the bible in this state because of the verses contained in the bible relating that people should not to engage in sex with people of the same sex.
Publicly supporting a Democrat was and is clearly not the right thing to do (as an elected Republican Official and as member of the Moffat County Republican Central Committee) and that if the person in question ran for re-election she would not have been re-elected. The subject person is well aware of the facts here!
So, I called a public official a liar (which is not libel by any standard) and then backed up my statement with facts of that official doing the wrong thing, and used the word homosexual in the context I have explained which may not have been "politically correct" in the eyes of the editor, take your choice, those are the only other possible reasons I can think of why my comment was removed other than your conclusion.
Let's ask the editor why it was removed. Why was it removed Ms. Editor?

Jan 3, 2008
The release of Devil May Cry 4 is a little over a month away now, and we've played through a near-complete version of the game from start to finish. We've unlocked the true potential of Nero's demon arm, we've blasted through hordes of demons with the transforming Pandora gun and we have a pretty good idea of why Nero and Dante look so much alike. And although we can't tell you about all of it just yet, we can shed some more light on a lot of what's waiting for you when the game hits stores on Feb. 5.
As you no doubt already know, Dante - the cocky hero of the first three DMC games - has been sidelined in favor of Nero, a white-haired kid who looks almost exactly like a younger version of Dante. As the game begins, we see that Nero's a member of a cult known as the Order of the Sword, which worships Dante's demonic father, Sparda. His free-wheeling ways don't seem to fit in too well with the Order and its strait-laced, white hooded trappings, but he still leaps to its defense when - during a sermon by Sanctus, the Order's elderly high priest - Dante crashes through the roof and puts a bullet between Sanctus' eyes.
The reasons for Dante's actions are part of a laundry list of topics Capcom has forbidden us from talking about, but they're really just an excuse for the game's first big fight/tutorial, pitting Nero against a surprisingly quiet, sinister-looking Dante in a toe-to-toe fight that practically demolishes the Order's small chapel. Dante regains his usual cocky demeanor just in time to make his escape, and the Order's surviving members - who are busy fighting off a horde of monsters Dante's apparently brought with him - quickly task Nero with hunting him down.
From there, the action is vintage Devil May Cry, with Nero exploring puzzle- and platform-filled levels while slashing and shooting his way through hordes of nasty creatures. The latter part frequently happens when you're boxed in by artificial barriers and forced to duke it out with a few waves of ugly badasses; it's a tired old gimmick, but it never really gets irritating here. The fights tend to be short and fun, and they're nowhere near as crushingly difficult as the ones that led Devil May Cry 3 players to snap their controllers in half in fits of rage.

Academy finds new digs
Students at the Corpus Christi Academy College Preparatory High School will begin the academic year at a more centrally located school.
The charter school, which opened in 2002, recently moved from its Ayers Street facility to the former campus of the Richard Milburn Academy, behind the Parkdale Baptist Church on Staples Street.
With many of the school's 65 students living on the city's Southside, the location is convenient, said Debbie Quezada, the school's administrative assistant.
Classes begin Aug. 25, and the school has 60 available seats in grades nine through 12.
To apply, students without a history of discipline problems must fill out an application and complete an interview. Students must maintain a grade average of 75, Quezada said.

I find it fascinating that you would make the statement "You cannot ignore the fact of the existence of a people" when Hamas exists, if for no other reason, to deny Israelis their existence.(Read the Hamas Charter)<quoted text>
British plans bear no weight in this.
Do you mean that it was realistic on their part to suggest a population tranferance so that the unrealistic maps you people keep showing become livable reality?
Then again Colonial Britain is known to leaving a political havoc from wherever it withdrew in the World.British Sociology is full of such analyses.
I cannot imagine anyone on Earth accepting a decision such as that one and which means having to become exile from your land and private property so that someone who just arrived can get in!!!
All of Israeli behaviour based on that British plan shows political frivolty,stupidity and cynicism.You cannot ignore the fact of the existence of a people!!!!!!!!!
Only fools would have done a thing like that and dare call it their national policy.
Palestinians chose to have Hamas represent them knowing full well what it's goals are. Israel gives Gaza back to the Palestinians which of course means Hamas and what is the result? They have a new location from which to launch rockets at Israel. Now you people have the audacity to look surprised and shocked. Unbelievable!

(2) in the irradiated groups, the P0 rate was significantly higher (1.8-fold) and the F1 rate was nonsignificantly (1.5-fold) higher compared to controls; and (3) plotted against the parental year of birth (1950–1960, 1961–1965, and 1966–1974), the mutation rate in the exposed F1 generation showed a negative correlation (i.e., decreased) with the parental year at birth, with the highest rate in the 1950–1960 cohort (similar to that in the P0 families) and much lower in the later two time periods (similar to that in the control cohorts).
The authors have interpreted these findings as follows: (1) all P0 parents born between 1926 and 1948 would have been directly exposed to relatively high levels of radiation from the nuclear tests, and this would explain the 1.8-fold increase in mutation rate; (2) F1 parents born between 1950 and 1956 would be heterogeneous with respect to the doses received: some would also have been exposed to high radiation doses, while those born later would have received considerably lower doses, and this heterogeneity in the parental doses could explain the 1.5-fold increase in mutation rate; and (3) the negative correlation with the year of birth may reflect the decreased exposure after the decay of radioisotopes in the late 1950s and after the cessation of surface and atmospheric nuclear tests.
In the mid-1990s, subsequent to publication of the radiation studies with mouse ESTR loci discussed earlier, Kodaira and colleagues (1995) conducted a pilot feasibility study on germline instability in cell lines established from the children of atomic bomb survivors in Japan. The cell lines were from 64 children from the 50 most heavily exposed families (combined gonadal equivalent dose of 1.9 Sv) and 50 children from control families. Mutations at six minisatellite loci were studied using the following six probes: Pc-1, 8TM-18, ChdTC15, p8g3, 8MS1, and CEB1. A total of 28 mutations were found, but these were at the p8g-3, 8MS-1, and CEB-1 loci only, and there were no mutations at the other three loci. Twenty-two of these were in the controls (of 1098 alleles tested; 2%), and six were in children from irradiated parents (among 390 alleles; 1.5%). Thus, there was no significant difference in mutation frequencies between the control and the exposed groups. The use of probes 33.16 and 33.15 in subsequent work did not alter the above conclusion (Satoh and Kodaira 1996; Satoh and others 1996).
The discrepancy between the results of Kodaira and colleagues, on the one hand, and those of Dubrova and colleagues (1996, 1998b, 2000a, 2000b) in the Belarus and other cohorts discussed earlier appears real. To what extent this might be due to differences in type and duration of radiation exposure remains unclear. For instance, the A-bomb survivors were externally exposed to considerable acute doses of radiation, whereas in the Belarus, Ukraine, and Semipalatinsk studies the exposures were chronic (both internal and external). Secondly, in the case of A-bomb survivors, most of their children were born more than 10 years after the single, acute parental exposure; in Belarus and Ukraine, however, the affected areas have been irradiated constantly since the Chernobyl accident. Finally, the Japanese data are derived from families in which most of the children were born to parents of whom only one had sustained radiation; in the work of Dubrova and colleagues, the data pertain to children for whom both parents had been exposed to chronic irradiation.
Livshits and colleagues (2001) found that the children of Chernobyl cleanup workers (liquidators) did not show an elevated rate of minisatellite mutations compared to a Ukrainian control group. The dose estimate for the liquidators was <0.25 Gy but is subject to uncertainty (Pitkevich and others 1997), and the main exposure was from external γ-irradiation (with a relatively minor contribution from the intake of radionuclides) received as repeated small daily doses. Interestingly, children conceived within 2 months of the fathers' employment had a higher mutation rate than those conceived more than 4 months after the fathers stopped working there. This would be consistent with an effect on cells undergoing spermatogenesis, but not on spermatogonial stem cells. However, none of these differences was statistically significant.
More recently, Kiuru and colleagues (2003) compared the frequencies of minisatellite mutations among children of 147 Estonian Chernobyl cleanup workers. The comparisons were within families (i.e., between children born before and after their fathers were exposed to radiation). The post-Chernobyl children (n = 155) were conceived within 33 months of their fathers' return from Chernobyl; the "control" children were siblings (n = 148) born prior to the accident. Mutations were studied at eight minisatellite loci (CEB1, CEB15, CEB25, CEB36, MS1, MS31, MS32, and B6.7). The estimated mean dose to the workers was 100 ± 60 mSv, with fewer than 1.4% of the cohort receiving more than 250 mSv.
A total of 94 mutations (42 in the pre-Chernobyl group and 52 in the post-Chernobyl group) were found at the eight tested loci. Within-family (i.e., pre- and post-Chernobyl) comparisons of mutation rates showed that the post-Chernobyl children had a slightly but not significantly higher mutation rate (0.042 per band) than the pre-Chernobyl children (0.035 per band) with an odds ratio of 1.33 (95% CI: 0.80, 2.20). The available data do not permit an assessment of the extent to which differences in paternal age might have contributed to this difference. When the cleanup workers were subdivided according to their radiation doses, the mutation rate in children born to fathers with recorded doses of 200 mSv, showed a nonsignificant increase relative to their siblings; at lower doses there was no difference.
Weinberg and colleagues (2001) screened children born in families of cleanup workers (currently either in Ukraine or Israel) for new DNA fragments ('mutations') using "multisite DNA fingerprinting." In contrast to the results of Livshits and colleagues (2001), they reported a sevenfold

"Would it be worthwhile to do something like trade in my spiffy Toyota for some beat up old car you can fix with a wrench, spare wires and chewing gum? Are there other such near-to-home projects I could take up that would be easily transferable to cruising life and forcing me to be more self sufficient? I guess the trailer sailor makes the most sense. I don't know why, for some reason, I feel hesitation about that... none of those boats really speak to me, and the ones that do would be too heavy for lake sailing."
I wouldn't trade cars. The time you spend on a clunker isn't going to add to your knowledge base for cruising. But here is a project that is directly relevant: build a dinghy. Plans are plentiful, some are even free, the process of building will teach you much (about fiberglass, epoxy resin, discipline and determination). And, of course, in the end you'll have an item that you can take cruising.

Procrustes analysis
d = procrustes(X,Y)
[d,Z] = procrustes(X,Y)
[d,Z,transform] = procrustes(X,Y)
[...] = procrustes(...,'scaling',flag)
[...] = procrustes(...,'reflection',flag)
d = procrustes(X,Y) determines a linear transformation (translation, reflection, orthogonal rotation, and scaling) of the points in matrix Y to best conform them to the points in matrix X. The goodness-of-fit criterion is the sum of squared errors. procrustes returns the minimized value of this dissimilarity measure in d. d is standardized by a measure of the scale of X, given by:
That is, the sum of squared elements of a centered version of X. However, if X comprises repetitions of the same point, the sum of squared errors is not standardized.
X and Y must have the same number of points (rows), and procrustes matches Y(i) to X(i). Points in Y can have smaller dimension (number of columns) than those in X. In this case, procrustes adds columns of zeros to Y as necessary.
[d,Z] = procrustes(X,Y) also returns the transformed Y values.
[d,Z,transform] = procrustes(X,Y) also returns the transformation that maps Y to Z. transform is a structure array with fields:
c — Translation component
T — Orthogonal rotation and reflection component
b — Scale component
That is:
c = transform.c; T = transform.T; b = transform.b; Z = b*Y*T + c;
[...] = procrustes(...,'scaling',flag), when flag is false, allows you to compute the transformation without a scale component (that is, with b equal to 1). The default flag is true.
[...] = procrustes(...,'reflection',flag), when flag is false, allows you to compute the transformation without a reflection component (that is, with det(T) equal to 1). The default flag is 'best', which computes the best-fitting transformation, whether or not it includes a reflection component. A flag of true forces the transformation to be computed with a reflection component (that is, with det(T) equal to -1)

When Dr. Robert Gucciardo first opened his chiropractic office, his mission was: to empower people to live healthy lifestyles without the use of drugs or surgery, using chiropractic, nutrition, and laser therapy.
Case in point: his patient Joan Bachert of Richmond Hill. Two years ago, Joan came into Dr. Gucciardo's office for internal pain that stripped her away from precious life moments such as playing with her grandchildren.
Now 30 pounds lighter, pain-free and full of energy for her family, a jubilant Joan exclaims, "It's just changed everything!"
Joan found Dr. Gucciardo after receiving several positive referrals from her friends and now, she says she's passing on the great advice.
"Because of my results, a lot of my friends wanted to know what I was doing," so Bachert let her friends in on her great discovery. Not only has Joan benefited from her nutrition response-testing program, she has also tried the Class IV Laser Therapy, the latest in modern technological medicine only currently offered by a handful of doctors.
The therapy itself involves the laser penetrating the surface of the skin in order to stimulate the cells and reduce inflammation and scar tissue. Describing the process as simple and pain-free, an incredibly satisfied Joan said she was happy to have chosen a highly efficient and caring doctor's office to perform her laser treatment.
The sense of calm and trust Joan felt comes from Dr. Gucciardo's 17 years of experience. With his highly trained and dedicated staff, Dr. Gucciardo makes it a top priority to ensure that patients are aware of which treatment options are best for them, which will include X-rays and a thorough neuromuscular examination to determine whether laser therapy is the right choice.
To date, he has seen a variety of patients, from high-school athletes to retirees, to help relieve pain associated with carpal tunnel, sprains, knee and shoulder injuries and even TMJ disorders. The technique's wide appeal to patients is not only due to its successful results but its quick doctor's visit as well.
"The beauty of the session is that it's only a 4- to 7-minute procedure, but the effects are profound and last for days," Dr. Gucciardo says.
