Apparently the UK hates women
ERI didn't know this was even going on, but apparently the EU may soon require boards to be 40% female. Britain is against strict quotas, instead favoring a business-driven approach.
I actually can't believe this is an issue. The EU can actually get together to force diversity upon the private sector, but not to manage monetary policy. How exactly is this justified?
Still, Britain might be obliged to accept some aspects of the proposal after Viviane Reding, the European justice commissioner, dropped plans to punish companies that did not meet the 40 percent threshold. Ms. Reding said sanctions would apply only in cases where noncompliant companies did not establish adequate selection procedures.
Companies would need to give priority to a woman in cases where "that candidate is equally qualified as a candidate of the other sex in terms of suitability, competence and professional performance," her proposal said.
What's the over/under on how

Creeping liberal
OCreeping liberal authoritarianism. Slowly, but surely coming to America.
Think about it: Liberalism of this type would never survive if it was not forced upon the people in the name of equality. In a free state, people would not be equal...life would follow nature, and the normal distribution curve. But liberal want to defy nature and rearrange the normal distribution curve.

I read this on the BBC news
COI read this on the BBC news app, it's dismaying, what happens to sectors that are mostly men i.e. tech. Quotas are ineffective, what works best is the market. It is expensive to discriminate.
Wouldn't this be qualified as
STWouldn't this be qualified as discrimination? If both candidates are equally qualified and preference must be given to the female candidate because of her gender, that should be considered as gender discrimination.
Better work on going through
?Better work on going through those binders of women
What will happen is companies
PEWhat will happen is companies will put figurehead women on the Boards but control will still reside wherever it did before. It will just be another rule people have to work around. This actually already happens in the U.S. with "minority owned" or "woman owned" businesses (minority owned or woman owned businesses get preferable treatment in certain situations). A lot of times the "woman" or "minority" owner is owner in name only.
Similar things happen regarding classification of employees. I know a lot of smaller businesses 1099 what should be full-time employees.
The list goes on.
Basically stupid rules like this come out and it just pushes more things underground and makes liars of us all (out of necessity).
I live in the UK and this is
CFI live in the UK and this is a frankly ridiculous idea. I am not for one second against women achieving the top echelons of power in a business but EVERYONE (male and female) should only do so on their own merits - not because of a government enforced quota.

Dear Readers,
Building Cathedrals has moved! That's right, as of today, our new site is--
Thank you for your loyal readership. When we started this blog 2.5 years ago, we had no idea how much our blog audience would grow, and how much we would love the fellowship of our little online community. In response to our growth, we decided we needed a website with more capabilities and a better layout. We posted about this almost 2 years ago, and the husband of one of our readers volunteered to set up our new site. Jonathan did an amazing job, and we are forever grateful for his generosity of time and his joyful spirit! B-Mama worked with Jonathan to design the new site, and it looks fabulous. B-Mama had this hard task as her one last "to do" before the arrival of her new baby. Check!!
Thank you B-Mama and thank you Jonathan for all your hard work!
Please visit us at our amazing new location, let us know what you think, and please subscribe!
Wow, I don't know what to make of this yet. It never occurred to me that digital readers would change books and reading in this way. The animating seems interesting, exciting and in some cases very artistic, but at the same time, what does it do to our attention span (or the kids') if even our books make noise and have moving pictures? I would say these fall into the category of "high end screen time" rather than reading -- better than watching junk, but not really reading either? Perhaps like watching learn to read shows on PBS? Also, the "read to you" function is really just a leap pad -- though this illustrates another way that the iPad is great for a mom who only has to carry one thing with her.
B-Mama and I both love our minivans. Maybe because we've never been car people? Maybe because I lack perspective? After all, my nicest set of wheels prior to owning our minivan was a 92' Honda Accord (I drove this from 1999-2007). And that Honda was a huge upgrade from the 92' Ford Taurus Station Wagon I used to drive. Below is a picture of that beautiful car. Mr. Red actually drove this baby to work for about a year. I think his boss wanted him to park it in the lot next door (notice the missing bumper?!?)
So when we bought our used 2005 Honda Odyssey in 2008, I felt like I was driving a BMW. I love my minivan and I am very aware that someday I may have to drive something even bigger, so for right now, I'm feeling pretty cool in my car.
And then a fellow mom friend sent me this hilarious video. As a shout out to all those playground mamas lamenting the jump from SUV to minivan, this video is for you. Have you seen this? Hilarious.
Signs of summer in my garden.
I'm hoping we will get our first squash this week.
Cantaloupe, which I'm growing for the 1st time.
Gianna's bug catcher. She used her money at a local market to buy this bug catcher. She and Charlie spend 1/2 hour before bed each night catching fireflies.
Can you tell that someone got a new camera?
Yesterday marked the six-year anniversary of our first-born's Baptism, an anniversary that (I am ashamed to admit!) would have come and gone without recognition had it not been for this boy's wonderful godparents, B-Mama and GG! Thanks for keeping us on our toes, friends, and for being such great godparents to our son!
Being a mom to three (almost four) means giving up lofty goals and settling for smaller ones, ones that give care and bring small joys to my family. They might include picking up that dustball that has sat in the corner of the hallway all week. They might mean taking extra care when wiping the hands and face of my sweet toddler. It could even possibly mean investing the time and last ounce of energy into a game of football with our oldest.
My husband and I met and married young and are open to life, therefore, we will most likely end up with a big family. This intimidates me. I did not come from a big family and really have had very little exposure to the inner workings of a family with any more than three children. Consequently, I am always in search of role models. Of course Maryalice is my number one (shout-out, hollar) - but we live several thousand miles apart.
I have to search out local mothers of large families to see their approach, size it up, take pieces of it and implement them in our home. Recently I had a troubling conversation with a 36-year-old mother of eight at one of our local playgrounds. She is an Army wife like me and her husband is currently deployed to Iraq on a 12-month tour. Her eldest two children are 18 and 14 year old girls. She has homesechooled all seven children (#8 is in utero) and everyone appears well-adjusted and well put together. As we watched our children play together, I took the opportunity to shamelessly pick her brain on all topics from lunch-preparation, to curriculum design to cloth diapering. I guess my questions inferred that her two eldest daughters helped a lot around the home because the mom felt the need to clarify that a)She did most/all of the food preparation and b) she rarely asked her older children to babysit the younger ones, but took them along with her instead. She went on to explain that she knew too many adults who had grown up as children in large families and were now "burnt out" from all that had been asked of them as children. They were reluctant to have many children themselves because of how much had been asked of them growing up. By shouldering more of the chores herself, this mom believes she is protecting her children from burning out.
Immediately this struck me as odd. I ask a lot of my eldest (5.5 yr.old girl), and she doesn't seem resentful, but rather, empowered. I have always figured that as long as they don't see me reading _Cosmo_ and painting my nails (I do that when they are sleeping, yea right) - they understand that we are all in this together and that we will have more time for fun together if we do the hard stuff together. They are already well familiar with my sing-songy "work before play" mantra. Yet, there seems to be a kernel of truth in the playground mother's fear. I cannot think of many people who have emerged from large families with the desire to be a parent in one themselves, especially girls. I want to hear from you - how do we find the balance of raising helpful, responsible children without turning them into nannies or cooks? Are any of you the products of large families -- what did your parents do to make growing up a great experience, even with siblings sandwiching you in every direction?

You would attain $five hundred in return of your initial investment. In this predicament your set selection would be in-the-funds, and you would obtain $850 on your first investment. Whole expense $one thousand. Earnings $350.
In every single solitary circumstance, you stand a prospect of profitable a larger revenue by hedging, or placing two bets in reverse guidelines, than the all-or-virtually practically nothing probability of a single binary wager. In the scenarios in which you stand you get rid of sales revenue, you eliminate far a whole lot much less than the probability you have to obtain a better earnings than reduction in other situation.
Binary options and binary bets as they options trading are regarded in the United kingdom are essentially trades or bets on foreseeable future industry location route. They are associated to disperse bets and futures in that they permit you to trade per placement but in distinction to spread betting and futures the whole that could be won or misplaced is acknowledged from the outset of the trade.de.
When I say the quantity that could be misplaced is acknowledged from the outset I just indicate opposite to spreadbets and futures you are unable to get rid of any a ton far more that the amount agreed at the beginning of your trade. This tends to make binary alternate options and binary bets investment online amazingly beautiful to new traders and people who do not specifically like placing stops in the latest market.
Most traders have veteran the anxiety of getting stops strike in unstable markets only for the recent current market to then transfer in the route they had predicted or predicted. However with binary selections and binary bets this situation is entirely prevented as we are just dealing with a conclude outcome of no make a difference if the market closes at a stage enhanced or decrease than the preceding timeframe that you decide for getting 5 minutes, 60 minutes, day-to-day or weekly.
For instance let's say we anticipate far more than the approaching hour that forex market a recent market place we have picked out will rise and why don't we say the existing-day value of that sector is 1234. Now if the industry closes at the conclude of the hour above 1234 we win and if not we do away with. The selling price tag for a rise or drop ordinarily arrives down to a fifty/fifty probability so if we can predict the industry proficiently about fifty 5% of the time or larger we begin to make some fantastic profits and if we can predict it truly is route previously mentioned sixty five% of the time then we can seriously commence to assemble a successful trading account.
So if you have formulated commodity prices a successful strategy or a acquiring and offering process that has a benefits selling price larger than sixty% then we would very really suggest using a appear at binary bets and or binary options as an excellent different to the far far more sizeable danger merchandise brought up earlier. In my see most people getting into investing get suckered into the greater threat goods simply because they begin to envision that is the area to make the large cash. The concern is that if you use the significantly additional particularly leveraged merchandise and your halt is missed, which can materialize in very unstable markets your coverage to reduction is commodity prices in concept unrestricted which is not a good spot to be.
The acceptance of alternative buying and selling has enhanced in the previous handful of many years, mostly as a result of many having uncomplicated admittance for the on the internet. Related to most locations concerning the trading current market, binary selections has commenced in order to swiftly hedge your private trading or consider a significantly quicker return. I have this kind of investing to be really fulfilling as very well as pleasant. I have authored several content material in an attempt to instruct the several traders that are unaware of binary betting as an approach to day trade or get gain of impact towards different trades.

I got a chance to check out the first season DVD set of Dennis the Menace, due out from Shout! Factory tomorrow, March 29. 32 episodes are included on five discs. Each show is roughly 25 minutes. The first four discs have seven shows each, with the fifth containing the remaining four and the bonus features.
This sitcom has the pacing characteristic of its time, 1959, with situations set up in such a way you see the punchline coming a while before it arrives. It's episodic, showing its panel cartoon origins, with a gag scene paying off and then switching to another incident.
Jay North is adorable enough as Dennis that you don't immediately want to kill him, although after watching just one episode, I don't understand how his parents and neighbor Mr. Wilson (Joseph Kearns) kept from slaughtering him. In the pilot, he manages to destroy a kitchen table, scattering eggs and dishes everywhere, plus doing the expected things — shaking the ladder, getting paint everywhere — when we see Mr. Wilson painting his house. Then it's a matter of Dennis sneaking out to the movies through a convoluted scheme involving tricking his sitter.
The gimmick is that he just wants to help, only he's too energetic, mischievous, and accident-prone to succeed. That's good to see, but I admit, I found his shrill voice, always at high volume, a bit much to take after a few episodes. Definitely something to parcel out, watching only a couple of shows at a sitting. Also, the actor playing Dennis' friend Joey seems too young for the role. He gives those off-screen glances similar to the ones dogs have when they're following their trainers' hand signals, and he rarely talks. He wasn't used regularly, and Dennis' character was toned down as well after the first handful of episodes, out of fear that kids would emulate what they were seeing.
The reproduction is about what I'd expect for something this old. There are speckles and lines on the image at time, but the soundtrack is good, and the black-and-white crisp. I enjoyed seeing such a different period — putting on a suit to go to the movies, for instance, which has a packed house for the latest Glenn Ford Western. Or the episode about Dennis' friend having his own TV set, which astounds all the other kids. Part of Dennis' costume was a set of cap guns on a gaudy holster belt, perhaps the most visible signal that this is another era.
The fifth disc has the following extras:
Dennis the Menace fits right in with Shout!'s line of other, similar TV shows: the Complete Leave It to Beaver, Father Knows Best, and the like. It's a wonderful package for the nostalgic, especially those who dream of the return of white suburban America, and kids will enjoy the slapstick and silly situations. It's a simple enough premise and execution that the family can enjoy it together. I wouldn't advise showing this to youngsters too often, though, for fear of the ideas they might get! In addition to wanting their own drum, bugle, and cap pistols, they might also expect a mother who did housework in dresses and heels and stayed home to bake her own cakes. (The studio provided a review copy.)
Great review but I have to disagree on Jay North being adorable and not wanting to kill him. I think he is hands down the most annoying child actor in the history of child actors. And I'm including that red headed kid in those Problem Child films.
"Most annoying child actor in the history of child actors" ?? Never ! I think that Jay North may have been one of the funniest child actors in the history of child actors ! These shows are hilarious !!
Jay North was fine for the part of Dennis, and the rest of the case was very good, but Joseph Kearns was PERFECT for the role of George ("Mr.") Wilson! Kearns was an absolute riot, far easily, the best part of this show, and his untimely and tragic death sent this show spinning downwards towards cancellation, or as an CBS executive close to the show said after Kearn's death in February, 1962: "Well, that's the end of that show. He [Kearns] WAS the whole show!"
[…] and the rest of the cast is made up of 60s-era character actors: Herbert Anderson (Mr. Mitchell on Dennis the Menace), Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay on Bewitched), and Sue Ane Langdon (all over film, TV, and stage that […]

School again. The monotonous act that seems to lengthen as the day goes on. Talking to certain people (just a type of person, not a specific person) makes me sick. I'd much rather be at home writing/playing/recording music. Reading or writing. Dancing in the rain.....
But I'm stuck in classrooms from 8-3:30....... Listening to the same voices say the same things. But I actually really did enjoy seeing my friend Jess today. She had spent her break in England and was very happy to be home. She was very bouncy and happy and just fun to be around.
This morning, I had to get to school really early because my dad had to drop off my sister and bla bla bla. So I walked around for a while, then I went into the library. I had not forgotten that Sabrina (longtime crush/obsession) didn't have 0 period PE anymore, but I had forgotten that she liked helping out in the library. I didn't notice her when I came in, but when I was looking through the extensive Vonnegut section, I saw her behind the desk chatting with people I subsequently sank down in a corner and tried to concentrate on a random book I had taken off of the shelf. I left when I could and went to PE. I'm going to do a swing dance routine with this really sweet guy who's so amazingly good at it. Then History. My teacher showed everyone their semester grade. I was piiiiiiiiiiiiised. I have a B. Because of the final. The essay part. That sucked. But it's okay now. Then Math. I have an A in math, so it's all good. No, I really don't care about grades that much, I mean, I don't stress over them. But just the fact that my teachers asses me means I HAVE to care, right???
But school's over now. I have to memorize every song for the musical. Oh, shit. I officially hate this show.
Welcome to the real world babe, im living there to. You not caring about ur grades? HAHAHAHA! YA RIGHT in what universe???your always stressing over finals and how much homwork u have. try getting Cs and Ds, i cant imagine what ud act like then...hmm theres a thought, i dont think it would be pretty.
I used to be scared of
Letting someone in
But it gets so lonely
Being on my own
No one to talk to
And no one to hold me
I'm not always strong
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening?
Last year I got two Fs, no Ds, some Cs, and some As
But at the beginning of the year, I didn't care At All. But then I started failing my Spanish tests. So I started caring.
I find you quite amusing, and I'm sure you love me too, But sadly I am Lesbian, Though I'll pretend for you

Transmission fluid change
Hi guys, I need some advice again. My 2006 Toyota Tunda is due for a transmission fluid change.Previously I had a dealer do the job.Very expensive.I want to know if a place like Jiffy Lube can do it? I checked several of their shops and they all say they can do the change at a great deal less than dealer.I know that the fluid is whats known as a world standard and is a synthetic ATF and that is the reason you can go more miles between changes.Have any of you had any experiences outside of using a dealer to do this service?Do I have to only use a Toyota ATF? I am just concerned a little that a Jiffy Lube would put in the incorrect type of fluid.Thanks for any insite and comments. Harry...

Listen to this,I just talked to The Dealer that did my original service and he told me that Toyota recommends that the transmission fluid never be changed....I guess the wrench at Toyota had a real problem with the truth . He was the one that said that I needed to do these changes.He told me that it also that he was going to change the belt and the plugs. Now if this guy is lying about all of this I am not sure on how to proceed.Toyota has no record of that mechanic changing my belt or plugs.If you can 't trust the dealers on vehicles that most people cannot work on,what the H@## are you supposed top do?Now I am really concerned..and mad..something is not right..Harry

If you had the fluid changed at 80k you did the right thing, the 'lifetime fluid' claim is nuts.
But dealer service departments also oversell service, I quit using one because of it.
Use the factory manual's maintenance schedule as your starting point. On top of that I add trans fluid and radiator coolant changes every 30-50k or so, if they're not on the factory list.

Yes I've been mulling over how to do that, must make a jig of some sort. I have some brass tubing that just a hair larger than the outer diameter of the cable and will try soldering to that [lot of heat] then solder that to the shield [gentle heat]. I plan to solder only the top and have the tube go down over the outer insulation. Is this good or no? A second question regarding that is if this brass tube is extended down over the outer insulation about 20mm [28mm maybe better?] similar to the balun on a linear dipole will it adversely affect the antenna? The idea is to use it as tension relief. Last resort is to use a ufl/ipx to sma adapter cable Frsky others but I've not found one yet. Richard |

ufl/ipx adaptors can be found on ebay. The idea with the tubing is not a good one as in fact would form a balun which you don't want with CL and SPW antennas. You could make a very small washer though. That's what I actually use on my antennas. You could cut off about one milimeter of the mesh and route that through the washer, then bend the mesh out and solder it onto the washer. This gives you a platform that is cabable of dissipiating some of the heat onto which you can solder the GND connections of the lobes. The HF influence with this "horizontal" little ring is acording to my experience negletable. HTH Markus |

Thanks for the reply Markus
The tube idea started to look like more of a pain the more I looked at it so thats good to know, I like the washer idea. Copper washers are available here if a small enough one can be found. There was also someone who made a Y or X out of copper that I could do otherwise. Been playing with it today making jigs etc. The real pain is the feed wire which is microscopic in gauge. Richard |
Feb 12, 2012, 10:26 PM | |
So whats the best way to mount a 980mHz SPW antenna for a receiver? I like to do FPV from inside my car comfy seats and am wondering what the requirements are for a simple solution. Do I need to have the antenna up on a pole, or can I have it on my ground station box on the cars roof or hood?
Cheers, Michael. |

Richard PS. would like to avoid buying separate u.fl to SMA adapters cables |
Feb 13, 2012, 01:23 PM | ||
I've been thinking about doing this on my next antenna build. I could probably make a tiny washer out of a piece of copper or brass, using a drill press, by just drilling the proper size hole, trimming the O.D. to the rough shape, and then mounting the piece in the drill chuck on a screw and sanding or filing it round. But I'm wondering if anyone knows of a source of pre-made small washers of the size we'd need to use on RG316 cable? Thanks, Bob |

Dan Murphy is on a roll. He changed his longtime board and truck sponsors, moved back East, dropped a new video part in Yougottagetthat!, and just had an interview published in The Skateboard Mag #73. We caught up with Dan to talk about all this change.
- You have had a lot of change in your life lately, new board and truck sponsors as well as a cross-country move, and new house. What prompted all this change?
- If I can narrow it down to one word, it's opportunity. The economy is affecting people's paychecks and all the companies. I was ready for change and I love skating back on the East Coast. Financially, NC is just more affordable. As for sponsor changes, I tried these new Theeve Trucks, they're amazing, so I made the jump. And for boards, Mystery and me were just going in different directions and I found a new home at Foundation.
- I'm hyped on what we got planned over there. Big things.
- You seemed like a perfect fit for Mystery. A move to Foundation is a bit of a surprise.
- I've been with every company I ride for since the start of my career. I've been so loyal to my sponsors, but I learned that loyalty doesn't necessarily bring success. Skating and ripping brings success. To be perfectly honest I think Foundation has a lot more diversity. I think diversity in a skateboard brand is just a different way of branding a company. With Mystery, a lot of us skated
- alike, we skated a lot of the same things, and we all went big, everybody kind of fit one model. With Foundation there's a lot more diversity. There's kids that might like Corey Duffel, then you got me on the opposite end of the spectrum, and there's kids out there that might like me, what I do, my style, the way I portray myself, which would make them better appreciate Foundation. Not to mention we got everything in between. I think it's just a different way of marketing a brand. When you have that kind of diversity you appeal to a bigger demographic.
We've always had an underground scene and I'm hoping to get it out from underneath the ground and show the world some more talent from North Carolina.
- Are you excited to have colors on your boards now?
- Oh man. I'm getting e-mails back and forth from design at Tum Yeto, messing with all these colors. It's like I've been colorblind for the last six years and now I'm struck. It's shocking to see color on my skateboard. It's sick, man. I love it. I'm really looking forward to some ill graphics.
- You recently switched from Krux to Theeve, how did that happen?
- I just love the trucks! I used to love Krux for the way they turn. The main thing is how the truck turns, obviously. There are certain things about trucks, the way they grind, the way they turn, that skaters fall in love with. I was the guinea pig for Theeve way before they launched it, and I just fell in love with the trucks. I like their "Probably†campaign, "Probably the best truck, Probably the best turning truck, Probably the lightest truck, Probably the strongest truck." I love the way the truck looks and the way it rides. They've got that high-end truck that's got new technology with no axle. There's no axle going through. It's sick man, I can ride them and I know I can sell them and it's just something new.
- You said you were the guinea pig. Did you have input on how the truck should look and feel?
- Not really the aesthetics. We were just testing the titanium trucks. I grinded different things like metal, granite, marble, and I just gave them feedback. We were just trying to get the composition of the metal right so it could still be the lightest and strongest truck and at the same time grind just as good as everything else.
- How does the titanium grind? It is a harder metal than aluminum, which is what most trucks are made of.
- It's funny. It kind of burns and sparks but it grinds great. It grinds just as good as anything else. I've only ridden Krux. I've ridden Krux for ten years so that's what I compare it to and I love it. I love it more than Krux. I'm psyched to be a part of it.
- You have an interview coming out in issue #73. What are you stoked on from that interview?
- I'm psyched on the interview in general. I guess the thing that I'm most psyched about is that we shot the whole interview in North Carolina. It's kind of cool to show the world that not only can I handle my career in North Carolina but I can also get so much done right here. I can shoot all the photos and do an entire interview. That's how many spots there are and how good the area is for skateboarding—people don't know. There's not a lot of skaters on the East Coast that have that many spots in one place and I think it's gonna help put North Carolina on the map. We've always had an underground scene and I'm hoping to get it out from underneath the ground and show the world some more talent from North Carolina and get some more teams coming through and hype the country on this place.
- It seems like a lot of other people are moving out of CA. Do you think there is
Watch it big in the Watch section, then go out and buy Yougottagetthat!.
If I can narrow it down to one word, it's opportunity.
- something about the times in skating that makes that desirable?
- I'd definitely say it's blown out in Cali. The spots are a bust or so much has already been done. I go to spots out here [NC] and people are more curious. Even security guards. For one they're more friendly. You don't have 50 skateboarders coming a day, so when they do see someone they are more curious about learning the culture and learning what it is we're doing and why we're filming or shooting photos. It's easier to get away with it here; it's a better vibe. Out there, there are just so many skateboarders. Every spot the security guards are looking for you, they're looking for your car. They know what a skater looks like, so you get profiled. You can't even get your board out of the car. Not to mention with so may skateboarders in one area, even if you can skate the spot you end up getting a trick and then find out ten kids did it the same day. It just takes the fun out of it. There's just more freedom here.

I Like to Watch (Instantly): Ponyo, Astro Boy
Notable titles from the Netflix Watch Instantly world
Ponyo (2008)
Directed by Hayao Miyazaki
Cast: Cate Blanchett, Noah Cyrus, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Frankie Jonas, Cloris Leachman, Liam Neeson, Lily Tomlin, Betty White
Ponyo is a great film. Some have dismissed it as sub-par Miyazaki, but those people are wrong. The intrusion of a cosmic magical force into an everyday community could be terrifying, but here it is only a source of joy and playfulness as the normal rules of reality are temporarily suspended. I saw this film five times in the theater, mostly just so I could watch the scene where Sosuke's toy pop-pop boat grows big enough to carry him (and Ponyo) on a journey through a flooded town as prehistoric fish prowl through the water below. Wow.
So I have mixed feelings about Ponyo being on Netflix WI. On the one hand, this criminally-underrated and under-seen film should be viewed by as many people as possible. On the other hand, the delicate seaside pastels and fluid animation gets short shrift from the non-HD version available. Actually, it probably looks fine on the Roku, so go for it.
Ponyo[ IMDB ] From My Neighbor Totoro to Princess Mononoke to Spirited Away to Howl's Moving Castle, the release of a new animated masterpiece from Hayao Miyazaki is cause for major celebration. This cartoon fantasy centers on the adventures of a 5-year-old boy who befriends a goldfish princess name Ponyo who dreams of becoming human. This adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid is clearly aimed at younger audiences, but the visuals are a trippy treat for all ages. 100 minutes G. |
Astro Boy (2009)
Directed by David Bowers
Cast: Freddie Highmore, Kristen Bell, Nathan Lane, Eugene Levy, Matt Lucas, Bill Nighy, Donald Sutherland, Charlize Theron, Nicolas Cage, Sterling Beaumon
While our own Devin D. O'Leary saw some of the charms of this monumental summer flop, the bulk of the mainstream critics seemed utterly appalled by the fact that the story begins with the death of a child—and that, furthermore, Astro Boy, a near-perfect replica of the dead child, is cruelly rejected by his father. Ahem, dudes, that's the story of Astro Boy! As in, verbatim from the original Tezuka manga. Kids in the '60's got to see that in the first episode of the black-and-white cartoon and nobody squawked. As Ponyo is to The Little Mermaid, Astro Boy is to Pinocchio, except that he'll never be a real boy.
Astro Boy's action-heavy story also has a rather succesful Act Two (featuring the good old sci-fi trope of a subjegated underclass living in the shadows of the gleaming utopia), but the unavoidable fight-scene finale of Act Three gets fairly old. The film is most effective when it explores the essential dilemma of Astro Boy: "Who am I?" Netflix rip is (again) not HD, but looks good.

United Healthcare To Offer AARP Medigap Plans To All Medicare-Eligibles During Special Open Enrollment Period | |
(BOSTON, MA) The Massachusetts Division of Insurance announced today that United HealthCare Insurance Company will offer its AARP Medicare Supplement plans to all Medicare beneficiaries who are AARP members during a special open enrollment period that begins today. United HealthCare's decision follows the Division's implementation of an emergency regulation on September 27th waiving notification requirements Medicare Supplement insurers must meet prior to holding enrollment periods outside the statutorily required annual enrollment period of February 1st through March 31st. Medicare eligible consumers statewide now have the opportunity to switch into Medicare Supplement plans offered by both Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and United HealthCare during fall open enrollment periods for coverage that takes effect January 1st. United HealthCare's enrollment period commences today and concludes on December 6th. The Blue Cross Blue Shield optional enrollment began on October 1st and ends November 30th. Commissioner Linda L. Ruthardt applauded the insurer's decision to provide seniors with another option during this critical time. "With the uncertainty in the Medicare HMO market, this provides seniors with another chance to continue seeing the doctors they choose." On September 15th, the Division of Insurance called a special open enrollment for October 1st through November 30th in response to notification from the federal government that several Medicare HMOs were terminating their contracts in certain parts of the state. The decisions made by UnitedHealthCare and Blue Cross Blue Shield go beyond the Division's special open enrollment by offering coverage to all Medicare beneficiaries. Seniors with questions concerning Medicare Supplement insurance options and enrollment should contact the SHINE (Serving the Health Information Needs of Elders) Counseling Program at 1-800-882-2003. |

Alcohol Server Training Program
In 1987, Utah became the second state in the country to require training for all on-premise alcohol servers. Ten states now have mandatory server training laws and six have voluntary programs.
Training for the responsible service of alcohol was not the government's idea. Before 1987, Utah's hospitality industry was already providing this training on a voluntary basis through programs developed by the National Restaurant Association and the American Hotel & Motel Association. The resulting legislation established a mandatory Alcohol Training and Education Seminar for employees of businesses that serve alcohol for consumption on the premises.

Why High School Grads Should Register for Cash Gifts Instead
There's been a new trend going on: registering for cash instead of items. It has become increasingly common in the wedding world to use cash gift registries for anything from honeymoons to home down payments, but have you ever considered a gift registry for high school seniors to help them get what they need for college?
We've seen high school graduates registering for items at major retailers, but options can be limited, it might be inconvenient to transport them to campus, and the store might not even be in your new college town. If you and gift-givers are open to online gifts, why not choose a more customizable way to go about it? Getting items from just one store can get boring and generic — not how you'd want to start your next exciting four years.
With cash gift registries like Deposit a Gift, rising college freshmen can share what they need money for and how they will use it, so that family and friends can contribute, without all the shipping and schlepping that comes with physical gifts. Cash gifts also give them the flexibility to get everything on their terms: from the stores and vendors they prefer, when they need it most. They can use the gift money for everything from dorm room décor, to a new electronics or a flight home for the holidays, and even save some of it for a rainy day. Monetary gifts traditionally do not feel personal and warm, but DepositaGift.com lets people customize their gift list so it is a total reflection of who they are. This makes for a much more fun gifting experience than simply sending a new set of towels.
Having a graduation party? If Grandma Lois from across the country can't make it in person, she can still gift money online to commemorate the big day. Most importantly, these cash gift registries allow others to contribute to items and goals that will make a difference. Need money for a new laptop before moving to college, but parents can only pay for half? We've got a registry for you. Here's how a DepositaGift.com cash gift registry works:
- Create your own Deposit a Gift site and register for items.Design your own page and register for items that you'd like to be able to get by the time of your deadline. In this case, high school graduates would choose items needed for college, list their prices, and set a deadline for before school starts.
- Spread the word. Your dorm supplies and furniture would probably have been paid for by your parents, but they might not be willing to pick up the tab on absolutely everything you may need. Don't forget to address your community of relatives and family friends who will be bidding you well wishes for graduating. Instead of receiving a monogrammed towel set (great, but unessential for a college kid), a graduate can ask for cash that will go towards essentials that will fit their specific needs perfectly.
- Collect! Once family and friends have finished contributing, it's time to receive all your money. And don't worry — all gifts are given securely online via credit card and held in an FDIC insured bank.
Get started on decking out your dorm and be ready for the start of college!
About the Author: Liana Wong is a rising senior at New York University. She moved across the country for school and knows what it's like trying to get settled at a new school. She currently interns with DepositaGift.com.

Football booster club, a beloved second job for parents
Carolina Astrain
Oct. 3, 2013 at 5:03 a.m.
• NAME: CHS Athletic Booster Club Inc.
• OFFICERS: Joy Cardona, president; Steve Phillips and Joe Perez, vice presidents; Melissa Lester, treasurer; Debra Lynn Venglar, secretary.
• ACTIVITIES: Designs and sells T-shirts for football, holds a hot dog function at the beginning of the year, makes the programs for each game, fall and spring all-sports banquet.
• MISSION: "We're proud and dedicated parents committed to supporting all CHS athletic programs."
Joy Cardona decided to join Calhoun High School's athletic booster club four years ago.
Her daughter, Precille Cardona, was a sophomore playing on the varsity Sandcrab golf team the year she joined.
"A lot of people don't realize that this is like having a second job for us," said Cardona, 42, of Port Lavaca. "We have our day job, and the booster club becomes our second job when we get home at night."
The CHS Athletic Booster Club Inc. supports all sports at the high school, but football is how they raise all of the money used for scholarships and other supplies, Cardona said.
On average, the booster club raises about $60,000 a year through spirit accessory sales and advertising. The club contributes about $40,000 annually to the athletic department and student scholarships.
"We make the home game programs and I go over it to make sure we've got everything right for our players of the week section," Cardona said. "It's work, but we enjoy it - anything we can do for the kids. ... That's what it's all about."
Last year, the booster club awarded 16 scholarships to student athletes.
"All of this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for the support from the community," Cardona said.

Facts about Leukemia and Filing for Disability1. Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood, typically starting with white blood cells that help fight infection. Bone marrow produces white blood cells, which grow and divide in order to meet the body's needs. With leukemia, the bone marrow produces extra white blood cells that do not perform the proper infection fighting functions. 2. It is often thought that only children develop leukemia, but there are many different types and subtypes with only a few that affect children. 3. Common symptoms that occur among all types of leukemia include fever, sweating and chills, fatigue and weakness, frequent sickness and infection, loss of appetite and weight, swollen lymph nodes, enlarged liver or spleen, bruising and bleeding easily, becoming short of breath with mild activity, red spots on the skin, bone pain or bone tenderness. 4. Symptoms vary based on the type of leukemia, and they are often easy to mistake for a bad cold or the flu. The number and severity of symptoms varies, due to varying numbers of abnormal blood cells and the part of the body where they build up. 5. Acute leukemia occurs when affected blood cells are immature and cannot function properly. These blood cells divide very quickly, causing the cancer to progress more rapidly. 6. Chronic leukemia occurs when affected blood cells are mature, so they function normally before dividing and accumulating, meaning the cancer progresses more slowly and may not be noticeable for years. 7. Lymphocytic leukemia affects the cells that form the tissues that make up the immune system. Myelogenous leukemia affects the cells that later turn blood cells. 8. Acute myelogenous leukemia is the most common and occurs among all ages. There are other types of leukemia, however, that are only common among specific groups of people. Acute lymphocytic leukemia is most common in children, while chronic lymphocytic leukemia almost always affects adults, usually Russian and Eastern European Jewish people. Can you qualify for disability benefits with this condition? Whether or not you qualify for disability and, as a result, are approved for disability benefits will depend entirely on the information obtained from your medical records. This includes whatever statements may have been obtained from your treating physician (a doctor who has a history of treating your condition and is, therefore, qualified to comment as to your condition and prognosis). It will also depend on the information obtained from your vocational, or work, history if you are an adult, or academic records if you are a minor-age child. The important thing to keep in mind is that the social security administration does not award benefits based on simply having a condition, but, instead, will base an approval or denial on the extent to which a condition causes functional limitations. Functional limitations can be great enough to make work activity not possible (or, for a child, make it impossible to engage in age-appropriate activities). Why are so many disability cases lost at the disability application and reconsideration appeal levels? Speaking as a former Disability Claims Examiner, I can state that there are several reasons: 1) Social Security makes no attempt to obtain a statement from a claimant's treating physician. By contrast, at the hearing level, a claimant and his or her disability attorney will generally obtain and present this type of statement to a judge; 2) Prior to the hearing level, a claimant will not have the opportunity to explain how their condition limits them, nor will their attorney or representative have the opportunity to make a presentation based on the evidence of the case. At the hearing level, of course, this is exactly what happens. And a number of disability representatives will also take such steps even earlier, at the reconsideration appeal level; 3) Disability judges, unlike disability examiners who decides cases at the first two levels of the system, can make independent decisions without being overturned by immediate supervisors--which happens frequently.

The engine wiring can degrade because the insulating material falls off leaving the bare wire exposed. This can cause many problems depending on which wires are exposed and what they touch.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Most reported Mercedes-Benz 300CE problems
Worn seat springs/padding may cause lean or sag
Engine Oil and Coolant Leaks Resulting in Fulid Intermix
Internal and External engine oil & coolant leaks can develop from the head gasket and/or timing cover gasket; these leaks should be repaired before the engine oil and coolant intermix which can result in severe engine damage.
Rough Running Engine Due to Misfire
A rough running motor or lack of power can be caused by a failed distributor cap or rotor, ignition wires (or their resistors), or valve cover gasket leaks. If the valve cover gasket leaks, oil can pool where the ignition wire resistor connects to the spark plug. The resistor can fail and the spark plug may not fire because of a short circuit through the oil.
Part that attaches distributor rotor to camshaft may break
Coolant Hoses May Fail Unexpectedly
The cooling system hoses may fail unexpectedly. The hoses can look good on the outside, but the rubber can degrade and erode on the inside. If not carefully checked, the hoses can burst at any time.
Shifter Lever Bushings May Break Causing Loose Feel/Noise
The bushings for the shifter lever wear out to the point where they break and fall out. This causes excessive movement (loose feel) in the shifter lever and a clanging-type noise when changing gears.
Motor Mounts Fail and Cause Vibration in Body
Motor mounts commonly fail, causing engine vibrations to be transferred to the body. Failed motor mounts should be replaced in order to prevent damage to the transmission mount.
Squeaking/Worn Brake Pads May Require Rotor Replacement Also
The brakes may begin to squeak at about the 50 percent wear point. This is due to the size and material used for the brake pads and rotors. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge. This will generally require replacement of the rotors when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
ABS Modulator Failure Due to Dirty Brake Fluid
As brake fluid becomes dirty over time, it can cause a failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years to help prevent this issue.
Coolant Leak/Overheating Due to Radiator Leak
A coolant leak may develop form the Radiator due to degradation of its plastic components. Replacement of the failed radiator will be necessary.
Check Belt Tensioner When Replacing Water Pump
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. When replacing the water pump, the drive belt tensioner should be inspected and most likely replaced as well.
High Usage Vehicles May Experience Ignition Lock and Tumbler Failures
Due to wear, high usage vehicles can experience ignition lock and tumbler failures. The ignition lock cylinder will generally require replacement to correct this concern.
Sunroof Components May Fail Due to Age and Wear
The sunroof may not work correctly due to failed components as a result of age and wear. Repairing a sunroof can be labor intensive and very costly.
Interior Wood Trim Cracks Due to Age and Sun Exposure
Due to age and sun exposure, the interior wood trim cracks and the finish gets a cloudy haze. Replacement if the trim would be the most common solution to the problem.

English belongs to the Germanic family of Indo-European languages, as can readily be seen from everyday words such as make, can, go, man, wife, son, daughter, sister, brother, house, garden, door—to name but a handful. French, on the other hand belongs to the Romance family which has its roots in the vulgar Latin of the Roman conquest of Europe and the Middle East. Nonetheless, the influence of French on the English language has been considerable and goes back to the year 1066, when William, Duke of Normandy, invaded England, starting off what is now called the Norman Conquest. Within a very short time, virtually all the land in England was owned by Normans. The result was that Norman French entirely replaced English as the language of the ruling classes and so the situation was to remain for the next 300 years, French being the language of the English parliament until 1363.
After the English defeat at the hands of the French in the Hundred Years War, the English language underwent a major revival based on patriotism coupled with francophobia. Nevertheless, the influence of French continued through the cultural and intellectual cross-fertilization of the Renaissance and then later due to the fact that French was the official language of international diplomacy from 1714 until the First World War.
So it is that the English of the present day is rich in words that have come into the language from French and have changed little in spelling or meaning: intelligence, instinct, situation, absent, accident are identical in both languages, whilst others such as diplomacy (diplomatie), adventure (aventure), address (adresse) have changed but little. These are vrais amis—true friends—also called true cognates. However, there are also a great many false cognates—faux amis—that often cause problems. These fall into three broad categories:
These slippery friendships can be dangerous: we no doubt all know the stories about the woman who declared she never bought food containing préservatifs (a préservatif is a condom) or the English au pair who attracted an unexpected amount of attention by declining dessert after a lengthy meal with the words je suis pleine (literally I'm full), which in French means I am pregnant; plein in this sense is only used of animals.
Below is a list of the most common true faux amis with their English translation, followed by the French equivalent of the English. In many cases, there is more than one translation possibility, so for more information, check the relevant entry in the dictionary.
The table below shows some French words which do mean the same as their English cognates, but which have other meanings as well.
English may have imported a great deal of French over the centuries, but in recent times the direction of trade has been radically reversed. The last twenty years or so have seen a massive invasion of French by English vocabulary and expressions. This has much to do with popular culture, particularly music and cinema, and of course computer technology and the internet. At almost every level of discourse it is seen as trendy to drop in English words and expressions. The Académie Française, the illustrious body that acts as watchdog over the French language, has attempted stem the flow, to legislate against the use of anglicismes in the media, to invent 'French' terms for English imports—but to little or no avail. Quite a few terms coined by the Academie are now established in current French: ordinateur (computer), logiciel (software package), and baladeur (Walkman), for instance, but for every one that has been adopted, many more have not. It might be thought that this situation could only be beneficial for the English-speaker in France but in reality many supposedly English words and expressions have taken on a French life of their own that may leave English-speaking visitors baffled. Below are a few faux amis in franglais with their meanings as currently used in France.
As stated above, the influence of French on English is deep-rooted. No less than 7971 entries in the Concise Oxford Dictionary include French in their etymologies. Many are so well established that we are scarcely aware of their origin: apartment, hotel, amateur, parliament, secateurs. Many others reflect France's preeminence in gastronomic matters: café, restaurant, maître d'hôtel, cordon bleu, casserole. Other terms have to do with attitudes to life and living, and the way we do things: joie de vivre, bon viveur, gourmand, sangfroid, savoir-faire, après-ski, etc. In many ways these reflect the respect we have for French culture, food and way of life, even if this is unconscious.
English is also very fond of the French-sounding suffix -ette in real borrowings from French, such as brunette, maisonette, cigarette, as well as in home-grown words like kitchenette, leatherette, luncheonette, bachelorette, ladette, laundrette, novelette, etc. In the home-grown cases the sense the suffix conveys ranges from smallness, to a female version of a male phenomenon, to the derogatory. Native speakers of English should also be aware that some well-known French expressions used in English, e.g. chacun à son goût, double entendre, crème de la crème, are not necessarily common in French. Others are common in English and are also current in French such as déjà vu or je ne sais quoi.
Some other French expressions used in English which are not used in France are: succès de scandale, fin de siècle, faux pas, aide-de-camp, encore (at the end of a successful performance French prefers bis).
And finally, a few more examples of the many French words and expressions used in both languages: éminence grise, raison d'être, bon mot, coup (d'état), entre nous, genre, œuvre, nouveau riche, femme fatale, ménage à trois, pied-à-terre, aide-mémoire, rendez-vous, amour, amour fou, amour propre, cause célèbre, bête noire.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Richard Rohr, O.F.M. (born in 1943 in Kansas) is a Franciscan friar ordained to the priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church in 1970. He is an internationally known inspirational speaker and has published numerous recorded talks and books, most recently Yes, And...: Daily Meditations, Immortal Diamond: The Search for Our True Self, Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life, and The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See.
Rohr was the founder of the New Jerusalem Community in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1971[1] and the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1986[2][3] where he currently serves as the Founding Director. The CAC is home of the Rohr Institute, with Rohr as Academic Dean of the Living School for Action and Contemplation.[4][5]
Scripture as liberation, the integration of action and contemplation, incarnational mysticism, community building, peace and social justice issues, male spirituality, the Enneagram of Personality, and eco-spirituality are among the many subjects addressed in Rohr's writings and teaching. He founded the international movement known as Men As Learners & Elders (MALEs), which focuses on ritual and rites of passage to encourage men to greater spiritual consciousness. In 2013, Illuman, Inc.[6] took on the mission of continuing and expanding the MALEs programs. Rohr is a contributing editor and writer for Sojourners magazine and a contributor to Tikkun magazine and the Huffington Post. He has been a featured essayist on NPR's "This I Believe" and a guest of Mehmet Oz on the "Oprah and Friends" radio show. He was one of several spiritual leaders featured in the 2006 documentary film ONE: The Movie and was included in Watkins' Spiritual 100 List for 2013.[7] Rohr has given presentations with such spiritual leaders as Cynthia Bourgeault, Joan Chittister, Shane Claiborne, James Finley, Laurence Freeman, Thomas Keating, Ronald Rolheiser, Jim Wallis, and the Dalai Lama.
Rohr is a priest in good standing with his Franciscan province, the New Mexico Province of Our Lady Guadalupe, and also with Rome.[8] He often refers to his position as being on the "edge of the inside",[9] as a prophetic place from which to challenge and encourage the Church. In a critique of Rohr, Fr. Bryce Sibley writes that Rohr asserts that God is neither male nor female, supports the mission of homosexual advocacy groups, asserts that the Crucifixion of Jesus was not necessary for the redemption of mankind, and criticizes Catholic rituals for a lack of efficacy.[10] Rohr's book, Immortal Diamond: The Search for Our True Self, develops Rohr's ideas on Jesus' death and resurrection, stating the purpose was not to convince God to be reconciled to humanity, but to convince humanity of God's grace and love.[original research?] Immortal Diamond explores the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as a metaphor and pattern for all people during their lifetime.[original research?]
Rohr has been notable for his support of homosexual causes, attracting criticism from some Catholics.[11] In 1996, Rohr presided over a ceremony for a lesbian couple, which has been referred to by a commentator as a "wedding", during one of his retreats.[12]
In 1997, Rohr spoke at a symposium[13][14] of New Ways Ministry, a ministry to homosexual people which was later condemned by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for not teaching in accord with the Catholic Church's moral teachings regarding homosexuality.[15]
In 2000, Rohr publically endorsed Soulforce, an initiative to use "relentless nonviolent resistance" to encourage Christian groups to accept homosexual people.[16]
In a 2003 letter to his diocese, the Archbishop of Santa Fe, Michael Sheehan, wrote that Rohr had agreed in discussions to conform to official Catholic teachings in his presentations.[17]
Rohr's "wisdom lineage", those thinkers and movements that have influenced his own work, include the Bible of Nature and Creation; the Hebrew Scriptures interpreted by the Prophets; the Gospels, the Incarnation and Jesus; Paul as first Christian mystic; the Desert Fathers and Desert Mothers; the Patristic Period, particularly in the East; orthopraxy in much of Buddhism and Hinduism; non-dual thinkers of all religions; the early Franciscan theology of Bonaventure and Duns Scotus; the unique witness of mythology, poetry and art; the non-violent recovery of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.; much of Carl Jung's teachings; Spiral Dynamics and Integral Theory; 12-Step spirituality/American pragmatism; and scientific evidence from the universe.[18]
Rohr emphasizes "alternative orthodoxy", a phrase the Franciscan tradition has applied to itself, referring to a focus on "orthopraxy"—a belief that lifestyle and practice are much more important than mere verbal orthodoxy.[19] The Perennial Tradition,[20] or Perennial Philosophy, forms the basis of much of Rohr's teaching; the essential message of his work focuses on the union of Divine Reality with all things and the human potential and longing for this union. Rohr and other 21st century spiritual leaders explore the Perennial Tradition in the Rohr Institute's issue of the publication Oneing, titled by the same name (2013).
The curriculum of Rohr's Living School for Action and Contemplation is founded on seven themes developed by him.[21]

Keep state assets
PUBLISHED: 03 Apr 2012 00:51:23 | UPDATED: 03 Apr 2012 00:51:23PUBLISHED: 03 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 03 Apr 2012John Dobinson
In Victoria 30 years ago Labor, led by John Cain, defeated the Coalition, led by Lindsay Thompson. As the endorsed Liberal candidate for Greensborough, I failed to defeat Pauline Toner. But both sides back then, I believe, would have considered it unthinkable to sell off profitable public utilities, state assets, like gas and electricity. Years later under the Coalition Kennett government, they were, (Labor lost the State Bank), and today a state government could well use the income from those public utilities, but they're gone.

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/IMTC.1997.603923
This paper describes in detail the design of a custom CMOS Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor for computing 256-point complex FFT. The FFT is well suited for real-time spectrum analysis in instrumentation and measurement applications. The FFT butterfly processor consists of one parallel-parallel multiplier and two adders. It is capable of computing one butterfly computation every 100 ns thus it can compute 256-complex point FFT in 25.6 μs excluding data input and output processes.

UC Riverside Highlanders (14-17)
@Cal Poly-SLO Mustangs (18-14)
Thursday, March 08
Honda Center - Anaheim, CA

UC Riverside
Cal Poly-SLO
Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Amaurys Fermin scored a game-high 16 points as the Cal Poly Mustangs came back to defeat the UC Riverside Highlanders 66-54 in Big West Conference quarterfinal action at the Honda Center.
David Hanson tallied 12 points and 11 rebounds for fourth-seeded Cal Poly (18-14), who advance to the semifinals for the first time in five seasons and will take on UC Santa Barbara on Friday. Chris Eversley chipped in with 11 points for the Mustangs.
For fifth-seeded UC Riverside (14-17), Phil Martin scored 15 points and Robert Smith added 10 points.
It appeared as though UC Riverside was in control in the first half, as it took a 34-28 lead into intermission.
The Mustangs came out strong in the second half however, as they ripped off a 22-5 run to take a 50-39 lead with 9:28 remaining, and they would never look back from there.
Cal Poly dominated on the glass, outrebounding UC Riverside 38-22. The Mustangs also shot an impressive 18-of-20 from the foul line.

I have a Milford-Miami Township Branch volunteer to thank for my discovery of this simple and delicious cake. If you need a cake that can travel, this is the perfect choice. I have found it to be a hit with pretty much any audience. If you like, chopped nuts can be sprinkled on top along with the butterscotch morsels. Serve this dessert at Halloween and call it Witch's Warts Cake!
1 box yellow cake mix
2 tablespoons oil
2 eggs
4 individual serving packages of pre-made butterscotch pudding
1 package butterscotch morsels
Add oil, eggs, and pudding regardless of what directions for the cake mix say. Mix ingredients and pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle morsels on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.
