Third-ranked Lee Westwood retained his Indonesian Masters title on Sunday with a two-stroke victory despite a shaky final round.
The 39-year-old Englishman, who completed his delayed third round with a 7-under 65 to take an imposing eight-shot lead in the morning, shot a 2-over 74 in his final round at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club for a 16-under total of 272.
"Today was hard. It is never easy playing in these conditions and I had to play 32 holes," Westwood said of the grueling final day. "I was really feeling it on the back nine. When you are in contention and under pressure, it seems to zap your energy faster."
He opened his fourth round with a birdie but then had two bogeys at the 5th and 6th holes before closing the front-nine with birdie. Westwood then birdied the 10th, followed by a bogey and also dropped shots on the 13th and 14th.
"You never know how to play with such a big lead ... It was a case of staying patient and calm and playing the holes correctly. It was exhausting," added Westwood.
He added that he was hopeful that the victory would kick-start his season.
"Hopefully I can go on and win other tournaments. It is tough when you are the favourite because if you don't win then it will be disappointing," said Westwood. "There was a lot of pressure so I'm glad I did it."
Former top-ranked Asian Tour player Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand fired a 5-under 67 in his final round to finish second on 14-under 274.
"I felt tired after the 12th hole. I couldn't really hit my shots properly so I'm quite surprised with the way I finished," said Wiratchant. "I haven't won in a while but I've come close this season so I hope to keep the momentum going."
Two-time winner Gaganjeet Bhullar of India and countryman Shiv Kapur were tied at 12-under 276 for third place, followed by compatriot Anirban Lahiri in fourth on 11 under.
The Indonesia Masters is sanctioned by the Asian Tour.

My neighbors' lilies and vinca
I wish there was a forum just for neighbor issues (is there one and I haven't found it?), because this is more about relations than planting.
Trying to be as brief as possible, we offered to plant 6 knockout roses at the top of a slope that divides our lawn from our neighbors. They had planted things there that always died and I was tired of looking at them. They were thrilled and thanked us profusely--3 years ago. This past fall they complained that we never trim them and that the roses were killing their flowers. The only thing we saw planted below the roses were vinca and some lilies--doing fine--but okay, we had the roses taken out just a few days ago.
I look out this afternoon, and there's the elderly neighbor lady at the top of the slope and right on the edge of our property line, planting more vinca and lilies--right along our grass line. Now how in the world does she think vinca and lilies are going to respect the property line and only grow downward onto her lawn and not spread into our lawn?
We wanted to put in a picket fence to at least keep her from entering our lawn (as she is wont to do), but after some unexpected big expenses, we'll have to settle for plants--and I"m planning on podocarpus macrophyllus maki--an upright "shrubby yew" as they call it. Should make a nice wall--but certainly won't keep out vinca.
Any suggestions on how to handle this situation? If I hit the trespassing vinca with Roundup, won't that kill the non-trespassing vinca too? I don't want to do that but I am pretty darn frustrated with these people.
One thing I have thought about is buying some of those raised bed gardening kits (i.e. Greenland Gardener) and making a narrow raised bed all along this property line--and then having the podocarpus planted inside. My thought is that the barrier of the raised bed ought to stop her plants? Is that a nutty idea?
Vinca travels - lilies don't :-)
Rather than spraying RoundUp (which is likely NOT conducive to good neighbor relations:-)), vinca is easily removed by pulling up the rooting stems. And if it is growing inside your property line, you are well within your rights to do so.
Planting the podocarpus will help to restrain the vinca but surley won't stop it. But if they complained about your roses, what in the world will they say about the podo? It will easily get 2-3 times the size of the rose. Raised beds or any other solid physical barrier will prevent the vinca from encroaching.
I had both a survey and an estimate for a fence today. We've concluded it's the only way to deal with our nutty neighbors. I'll probably put contained raised beds along the fence line which should stop the vinca. I actually like vinca a lot--just not in my lawn.
We had some narrow pieces of flagstone left over from a project and buried it sideways to block a neighbor's bamboo. I know it won't be perfect, but it has minimized the problem to the extent that I can address the remaining trespassing plants. I recommend it if the property line isn't too long (which would make it expensive). A fence won't stop the vinca....

I was doing my normal reading of the main stream media sites - CNN, MSNBC and FoxNews and my eyes got a glimpse of a headline that contained the word "Twitter" in it, so of course, curiously I clicked on it.
"U.S. Army Says Blogging Site 'Twitter' Could Become Terrorist Tool"
*blink* ..... *crickets* ..... *blink*
Wow, really?! A terrorist tool? Now I don't know about you folks, but I tend to give terrorist a little more credit in the secret and brains department. Ideally these folks don't want ANYONE knowing what they are up to right? I mean seriously, a terrorist tool?
According a a report by the Agence France-Presse news agency, the 304th Military Intelligence Battalion contains a chapter entitled "Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter," which expresses concern over the increasing use of Twitter by political and religious groups.
Am I wrong, are we not in America? Seriously, isn't this they way that grassroots efforts are suppose to work? They use tools to communicate a like minded message and join together for a common cause.
I think what the government is missing, very clearly here, is the way social communities police themselves. If there's a crazy person in the group, or on the channel or in the forum, or espousing crap from their blogs, people either do two things 1) Ignore Them or 2) Look at their blog for the next crazy thing they are saying and laugh.
"Twitter is already used by some members to post and/or support extremist ideologies and perspectives," the Army report said.
Most normal human beings can spot a whack job a mile a way. At least the type of whack jobs this report is describing. These whack jobs can say whatever they want on twitter, it's just like they can print whatever they want, too. It's just like those people with the weird hairdos and clothese at the airport that are selling flowers, or those Scientology members passing out fliers on Market St. in San Francisco. Unless you want to listen to the music or read the message, you trash the communication device or ignore it altogether - you just don't listen to it.
The article goes on ..... "The blogging service and social networking site has previously sent out messages known as "Tweets" faster than news organizations during such major news events as the July Los Angeles earthquake and the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis."
I guess they forget to give credit to Scoble for getting a tweet about the earthquakes in China. I guess they also missed that Beth Kanter raised over $2,500 dollars for Cambodian Children, in an hour live from Gnomedex. I guess they missed the thousands of other great things Twitter's been used for and to spread the word about in an instance?
Maybe Joe the Plumber should tweet his questions to the candidates, and then maybe it'll be worth the candidates mentioning how great Twitter is, instead of our government labeling it a terrorist tool?
What say you?

Each lesson is complemented with beautiful 11" x 17" color posters, which are clipped together in two large binders, making them versatile and convenient for transport. Most lessons have from 9 to 13 posters associated with them, although a few use up to 20 posters. The posters emphasize and summarize the major objectives of the lesson. They include key aims and colorful graphics on front, and speaking points on the back. The content of the posters is also available in PowerPoint format, with the speaking points on the back of the poster included in the "Notes" section. Since the posters and the PowerPoints contain identical information, there is no need to use both visual aides when teaching a class, although it can be useful to have options that may be adjusted based on the class site.
Lessons are written in basic language using the posters as a framework for a discussion of the key points. Educators can follow the sequence of the posters as they teach the lesson. The lesson plan includes key concepts, objectives, materials, and outlines specifically what the educator should say and say and do while showing the posters. Educators are encouraged to discuss the information with participants and encourage them to answer questions, rather than read the material in the lesson plan. Some lesson plans also include additional visual aides, assessment questions and evaluation materials. Lesson time not provided but lesson plans are of varying lengths.
All of the lessons include interactive activities and several handouts and fact sheets for adults and youth. The handouts include topics consistent with the lessons and help participants apply the information they have learned. For example, they include a sample menu planner, smart snacking ideas, grocery lists, and making healthier choices in each food group. The handouts are colorful, informative and have a logical layout. Some include activities and puzzles, as well as healthy recipes. All recipes include nutrition information and use low cost, readily available ingredients. All handouts are available for free online (see Web site below).
Although the lesson plans are strongly structured, an educator can easily adapt the curriculum and chose to use all partial components. The posters, PowerPoints, handouts and/or activities may be adapted for use with other existing lessons. Lessons may be used individually or presented together in a series.
While the Smart Choices is an excellent program that contains research-based, accurate and current information there are some criticisms. Because of multiple authors, there are inconsistencies in the lesson plan language. Some of the information in the lesson plans and the handouts are specific to Louisiana. Cost information in the "thrifty choices" lesson may not be accurate based on other locations and the current economy. Finally, a brand name is mentioned in at least one of the handouts.
Marketing materials for the Smart Choices curriculum that may be available include a large banner, a poster on a foam board, magnets, brochures, and exercise/nutrition cards. Lessons are available in a curriculum binder or on CD-Rom. Overall, this is a well-designed resource for educators that are looking for a curriculum that covers a wide variety of topics and includes attractive and engaging visual aides.

Love's provision for each of us
The individual who is perhaps feeling a bit jealous because a friend he has been close to is now spending more time with someone else, need not be discouraged or resentful. The good that was in the relationship is never lost. And a change in the nature of a relationship can offer a good opportunity to learn more about God and man, thus enabling one to experience more of God's love and care as well as the healing of any negative feelings.
God did not make two kinds of man, the loved and the wanting to be loved. The one infinite God made man in His image, as the Bible states. And being the image of God, who is Love, man reflects the qualities of Love and is perpetually loved. This truth may seem temporarily hidden; but it's the spiritual fact of our being, a fact we can begin to prove.
God, as the one supreme cause, is the source of all love. His love is spiritual, unchanging; it does not originate from within people. Disappointment with human affection can turn us to express and experience God's love. Then we begin to learn that because God is infinite, opportunities must exist every moment to express and experience that true love.
God doesn't have us in holding patterns, waiting for the right person to come along before we can be happy. The ability to feel love is not found in waiting to be loved by someone else. Rather, it starts with discerning more of God's constant love and learning to express it. The more love we express, the more we'll feel the reality of divine Love's presence.
A new and solid friendship can't really develop if we're jealous of another's friends. This would be basing our affections and actions on a limited sense of God's love. Jealousy and envy are merely impositions of what Paul refers to as ''the carnal mind,'' the supposed opposite of the infinite divine Mind. It is supposititious because that which is infinite can't really have an opposite. Neither fear nor envy can operate in the consciousness that is acknowledging, and feeling, the presence of infinite Love.

Kentucky's Largest American Chestnut Tree is in Adair County
Jun 17th, 2009 by Barbara
I am a tree hugger and proud of it!
This is really something you should take time for if you can please join the members of the Adair County Garden Club on Saturday June 27th.
The Kentucky Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation www.kychestnut.org will be conducting its annual meeting here in Columbia. This meeting is open to the public and you do not have to be a member to attend. Scott Freidhof, president of the Kentucky chapter will speak. Follow the link to the American Chestnut Foundation to learn more about the blight that nearly wiped out the American Chestnut in the early 1900's and the research that is currently being conducted to breed a new blight resistant tree.
The meeting will be held at the Crammer Dinning Hall at Lindsey Wilson College beginning at noon central time. Everyone is asked to please be there 20 minutes early in time to be seated for lunch (on your own). The meeting will focus on who the American Chestnut Society is and what they are doing to save the nearly extinct American Chestnut tree. The presentation will include comments on the current tree "breeding" program and information on chestnut research. Seedling trees will be available for those interested in the restoration program.
At approx 1:00 the meeting will adjourn in order to carpool out to the site of the largest Chestnut tree in Kentucky and possibly the U.S.As many of you already know Kentucky's largest (and oldest?) American Chestnut tree is right here in Adair County. In fact it's right here on the road I live on. This promises to be very interesting and I hope that you take the time to join us.
For more information on this or other Adair County Garden Club activities please contact Barbara at email@example.com

Event Details
Date(s) & Time(s)::
Daily from March 20, 2013 until March 31, 2013
Location: all Half Price Books locations
Link: http://www.hpb.com/halfpint
Event Description
Half Price Books, the nation's largest family-owned new and used bookstore chain, is currently holding its 15th annual Half Pint Library Book Drive which will benefit local children. Now through March 31, Half Price Books stores will serve as drop-off sites to collect new and used children's books. Half Price Books will match each book donated during the drive.
Each year, community members are encouraged to donate new and gently used children's books during the book drive. Half Price Books employees then sort through the books to make sure children will receive only quality new and used books. The drive accepts any type of children's book, including Spanish language books, as long as they are in good condition.
Shortly after the conclusion of the book drive, giveaway events will be held at various Half Price Books locations across the country, and local non-profit groups will be invited to come and pick up boxes books. Last year, more than 3,000 books were distributed in the Fort Wayne community, and more than 340,000 books were distributed nationwide.
"Having books in the home is an important step when it comes to lifelong learning, but unfortunately, this is not the case for many children," said Kathy Doyle Thomas, executive vice president of Half Price Books. "We are thrilled to celebrate 15 years of Half Pint Library and are so happy to provide books to children in need through this program."

"Waste of Money"
Arrived with beads all over the bottom. hygometer doesn't work....piece of junk Buying a different humidor from another company
Gail in Panama City Beach FL June 27, 2013
"Not A good Humidor"
After a week seasoning this humidor I put in cigar, hygrometer and humidifier. Within a few hours both humi and hygro became unglued and I could not get them to stick, The humidity decreased substantially unless I put distilled water in a dish. This was inexpensive BUT not a good buy.
Alston in San Francisco May 13, 2012
"Well Worth the Money"
I was lucky enough to get this on the auction. It has a nice finish and good construction. After seasoning as directed, I loaded it and it works fine. I got a bargain and it works as it should. Looks good, too.

Nuptial song or poem in honour or praise of a bride and bridegroom. In ancient Greece such songs were a traditional way of invoking good fortune on a marriage and often of indulging in ribaldry. The earliest evidence for literary epithalamiums are fragments by Sappho; the oldest surviving Latin examples are three by Catullus. In the Renaissance, epithalamiums based on classical models were written in Italy, France, and England; that of Edmund Spenser (1595) is considered the finest in English.

Shangri La, Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art
ARTstor has collaborated with the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art to distribute approximately 500 images of Islamic and South Asian art from the collection at Shangri La. Located in Honolulu, Hawaii, Shangri La is the former home of Doris Duke (1912-1993) and houses her collection of Islamic art. Duke built Shangri La in 1937, designing the house in collaboration with architect Marion Sims Wyeth. Beginning in 1935, Duke made many trips to Morocco, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, India, and other countries, developing a lifelong interest in Islamic art. In addition to purchasing artifacts during her travels, Duke also commissioned art from contemporary Muslim artists. She personally participated in the design and installation process, juxtaposing objects in a variety of media from various regions, time periods, and cultures of the Islamic world. Duke was particularly interested in decorative arts of the 17th through 19th centuries, especially those of the Ottoman, Mughal, Safavid, and Qajar dynasties. Many objects are integrated in the structure of the house itself, including architectural elements such as ceilings and doorways, and decorative elements such as ceramic tiles, lighting, and furniture. Over the course of nearly 60 years, Duke amassed approximately 3,500 objects, dating from 1500 BCE through the 20th century CE. Selections from the Shangri La collection will be represented in ARTstor with approximately 800 images, featuring Indian jewelry and enamels; Syrian, Indian, Spanish, and Persian furniture, doors, and ceilings; Persian and Turkish tile panels and portable ceramics; and Central Asian, Persian, Turkish, and Indian textiles.
Shangri La is owned and supported by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art (DDFIA). The DDFIA is one of three operating foundations supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, and was created by Duke to promote the study and understanding of Islamic art and culture. Shangri La has been open to the public since 2002 as a center for Islamic arts and cultures.

Photo fun
Get useful and playful image-editing tools with this easy-to-use program.
The publisher's description of PhoXo says that it can be "treated as a mini Photoshop." This made us laugh, because the last time we checked, Photoshop didn't include an assortment of emoticons and other clip art. But we gave PhoXo a chance and found that we actually liked it quite a bit. It contains the basic image-editing tools that the non-professional user would expect, with a few fun (and goofy) extras that make it appropriate for younger users, too.
The program's interface is well organized and intuitive, with menus across the top and a toolbar down the left side. There are controls for brightness, contrast, and saturation, options to blur and sharpen, and a red-eye-reduction tool. A clone tool and an eraser let users perform basic image correction. Users can also add text, stamps, and clip art to images, and they can draw on images freehand using a pen or paintbrush tool. An effects menu includes options to distort images, add light-related effects, or transform the image into another artistic style. We liked it that PhoXo supports the use of layers; this makes it easy for users to experiment with the program's various features without making irreversible changes to their images. A surprisingly thorough online Help file provides detailed instructions for all of PhoXo's features and includes plenty of screenshots. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by PhoXo; it's easy to use and has plenty of features, both useful and silly. It's a good choice for anyone who's just getting started with image editing or for more experienced users who don't require the advanced features of programs like Photoshop.
PhoXo installs a desktop icon without asking but uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users.

The modern skeptic needs to be well armed to deal with the array of woo being spewed these days. Biblical criticism is pretty much a solved game but the new-agers can toss out faux-facts faster than you can say, "Bullshit!"
One flavour making the rounds here recently has been the junk science of Terrence McKenna. An incredibly articulate ethnobotanist of the late 20th century, he was able to public several books that garnered the attention of aging hippies and which seem to have renewed their popularity with contemporary new agers. As a self-described psychonaut, his writing mostly revolved around his ever more desperate attempts to instill perceived empirical value to the observations he made of his own consciousness while higher than a kite.
His timewave zero and novelty theories tied into eschatological prognostications for 2012 – a prophecy failure that his devotees overlook as quickly as the adherents of Benny Hinn overlook his. Perhaps the most entertaining of his drug-addled ramblings was his 'Stoned Ape' conjecture.
In his Stoned Ape conjecture, McKenna tried to convince himself that use of magic mushrooms was the catalyst that sprung homo-sapiens into existence from homo-erectus. He starts by assuming that the magnificent shrooms appeared on the African savanna 100,000 years ago and made their way into the homo-erectus diet – both assumptions being supported by zero evidence. He then misrepresents a scientific study about visual perception to suggest that use of these mushrooms increased visual acuity in our early ancestors – thereby making them better hunters.
Based on his first two unfounded assumptions and an outright fabrication he then jumps to the conclusion that the results performed a miraculous one-time instance of Lamarckian inheritance, altering the offspring of psilocybin-gobbling hominids enough to speciate them from surrounding populations of homo-erectus. It just goes on and on, and he actually managed get published for it in 1992 - Food of the Gods.
I feel this load of malarkey is worth our attention, as skeptics, so we can be better prepared to counter the ridiculous claims of McKennites that we may encounter. I know there is one with us lately and felt he might like to put his thoughts on display here for all of us to observe the workings of such a mind.
I quoted your citation - it proves you wrong but apparently you are too high to see it.
No, you quoted a post on the forum, not the actual citation. -_-
There's no law saying scientific studies have to be done in the United States under illegal circumstances. Science is done all over the world.
Hi Jimmy
I really havent read much about Terence McKenna but I definantly will be now.
On the full understand that very few people here are at all interested in personal experience with psychoactive substances, I will, nevertheless, poke in as I've done a LOT of them.
1. I agree with those who shout "bullshit". These drug are recreational and as such a worthwhile experience. As far as I'm concerned, they trigger a chemical "Oh-Wow-Man" response. It definitely seems/feels like you're having revelations. That, again, is a worthwhile experience - as long as you don't believe it is something more than recreational.
2. I agree with those who claim that it is more than something recreational. BECAUSE of the way it short-circuits, it can reveal to users perhaps what Strega called "External existentialism" although I don't get the word "external" because the whole point is that the external/internal division is removed.
This is an important revelation but not one that Requires chemicals.
Terence McKenna isn't talking about "recreational use." He feels that recreational use only trivializes what psychedelics are fully capable of. And I assure you, the experience of "Oh-Wow-Man" is only said because this experience is so profound that it's often described as "ineffable," so instead of attempting to articulate, which I feel Terence McKenna was at great pains to express, the only thing people can come back with is "Oh-Wow-Man," and of course, this is no help to the person who wants a description to this experience. "Oh-Wow-Man" doesn't cut the mustard. That's why I posted those Terence McKenna talk, because at least he tries to be a little more articulate than simply saying "far out, man."
@Unseen As I mentioned before, the only people who are drawn to psychedelics are those who wish to explore the very depths of consciousness. Of course, if you're not interested in that, then psychedelics are irrelevant to you, and most people would rather not travel the dark sea of mind.
I wish I had a memory/ I'm quite sure I've seen studies on the chemical phenomenon. They didn't refer to it as the "Oh-Wow-Man" effect - those are my words. But I believe that such a reaction to certain chemicals is scientifically provable.
If it's so profound as to be ineffable, what's the point? That's not a rhetorical question. Discussion and inquiry require effibility (probably not a word, but I'm sure you get the idea).
"[Oh-Wow-Man is] no help to the person who wants a description to this experience"
Neither is it of any help to those wishing to gain objective knowledge about the subject.
@Unseen As I mentioned before, the only people who are drawn to psychedelics are those who wish to explore the very depths of consciousness. Of course, if you're not interested in that, then psychedelics are irrelevant to you, and most people would rather not travel the dark sea of mind.
So, you don't want to discuss it, I guess.
And perhaps if you stopped using flowery poetic language to discuss the drug experience you might be able to look at it more objectively. I mean, "the very depths of consciousness," "the dark sea of mind." Give me a break.
I need to add a caveat. I have NOT tried "heroic doses" partly because of the real dangers associated with these drugs. I can't really see how such doses would make the effect fundamentally different - just stronger.
Perhaps I'll try again with the 8-hour talk (it's not a video so I CAN do other things while listening). But he's not what I would call an exciting speaker. I only got about ten minutes in before giving up.
Oh, it is different. It's like night and day. Raising the dose range makes the drug seem like an entirely different drug altogether. That's why I recommend to atheists DMT, because DMT only lasts about 5 minutes. Surely, you've got 5 minutes to invest in an experience that would alter your entire ontological foundation.

Recent reviews
This occult documentary starts out really interesting, trying to connect every single strange phenomenon (the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, UFOs, pyramids, aliens, Bigfoot) into one cohesive explanation, but it gets sidetracked into cloning, cryogenics, and other areas of science that have little to do with Bigfoot and UFOs. There's enough in it for casual enjoyment.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Calico cats are domestic cats with a spotted or parti-colored coat that is predominantly white, with patches of two other colors (often, the two other colors are orange tabby and black). Outside of North America, the pattern is more usually called tortoiseshell-and-white. In the province of Quebec, they are sometimes called chatte d'Espagne (French for '(female) cat of Spain'). Other names include brindle, tricolor cat, mi-ke (Japanese for 'triple fur'), and lapjeskat (Dutch for 'patches cat'); calicoes with diluted coloration have been called calimanco or clouded tiger. Occasionally, the tri-color calico coloration is combined with a tabby patterning. This calico patched tabby is called a caliby.[1]
"Calico" refers only to a color pattern on the fur, not to a breed.[2] It is absent from lists of breeds.[3] Among the breeds whose standards allow calico coloration are the Manx, American Shorthair, British Shorthair, Persian, Japanese Bobtail, Exotic Shorthair and Turkish Van.
Because genetic determination of some coat colors in cats is linked to the X chromosome, calicoes are nearly always female.[2][4] Because of the genetics involved, calico males are rare, and generally have impaired vitality and are almost always sterile.
The coat pattern of calico cats does not define any breed, but occurs incidentally in cats that express a range of color patterns; accordingly the effect has no definitive historical background. However, the existence of patches in calico cats was traced to a certain degree by Neil Todd in a study determining the migration of domesticated cats along trade routes in Europe and Northern Africa.[5] The proportion of cats having the orange mutant gene found in calicoes was traced to the port cities along the Mediterranean in Greece, France, Spain and Italy, originating from Egypt.[6]
In genetic terms, calico cats are tortoiseshells in every way, except that in addition they express a white spotting gene. There is however one anomaly: as a rule of thumb the larger the areas of white, the fewer and larger the patches of ginger and dark-or-tabby coat. In contrast a non-white-spotted tortoiseshell usually has small patches of color or even something like a salt-and-pepper sprinkling. This reflects the genetic effects on relative speeds of migration of melanocytes and X-inactivation in the embryo.[7]
Serious study of calico cats seems to have begun about 1948 when Murray Barr and his graduate student E.G. Bertram noticed dark, drumstick-shaped masses inside the nuclei of nerve cells of female cats, but not in male cats. These dark masses became known as Barr bodies.[8] In 1959, Japanese cell biologist Susumu Ohno determined the Barr bodies were X chromosomes.[8] In 1961, Mary Lyon proposed the concept of X-inactivation: one of the two X chromosomes inside a female mammal shuts off.[8] She observed this in the coat color patterns in mice.[9]
Calico cats are almost always female because the locus of the gene for the Orange/non-orange coloring is on the X chromosome. In the absence of other influences, such as color inhibition that causes white fur, the alleles present in those orange loci determine whether the fur is orange or not. Female cats — like all female placental mammals — have two X chromosomes. In contrast, male placental mammals, including chromosomally stable male cats, have one X and one Y chromosome.[2][8][10] Since the Y chromosome does not have any locus for the orange gene, there is no chance that such a male could have both orange and non-orange genes together, which is what it takes to create tortoiseshell or calico coloring.
One exception is that in rare cases faulty cell division may leave an extra X chromosome in one of the gametes that produced the male cat. That extra X then is reproduced in each of his cells, a condition referred to as XXY (see Klinefelter's syndrome). Such a combination of chromosomes could produce tortoiseshell or calico markings in the male, in the same way as XX chromosomes produce them in the female.
All but about one in three thousand of the rare calico or tortoiseshell male cats are sterile because of the chromosome abnormality, and breeders reject any exceptions for stud purposes because they generally are of poor physical quality and fertility. In any event, an (unusual) fertile XXY male could not normally pass on any of those X chromosomes to any male offspring, so his male kittens would practically always be normally coloured, either ginger or non-ginger, but not tortoiseshell or calico.
As Sue Hubble stated in her book Shrinking the Cat: Genetic Engineering before We Knew about Genes,
"The mutation that gives male cats a ginger-colored coat and females ginger, tortoiseshell, or calico coats produced a particularly telling map. The orange mutant gene is found only on the X, or female, chromosome. As with humans, female cats have paired sex chromosomes, XX, and male cats have XY sex chromosomes. The female cat, therefore, can have the orange mutant gene on one X chromosome and the gene for a black coat on the other. The piebald gene is on a different chromosome. If expressed, this gene codes for white, or no color, and is dominant over the alleles that code for a certain color (i.e. orange or black), making the white spots on calico cats. If that is the case, those several genes will be expressed in a blotchy coat of the tortoiseshell or calico kind. But the male, with his single X chromosome, has only one of that particular coat-color gene: he can be not-ginger or he can be ginger (although some modifier genes can add a bit of white here and there), but unless he has a chromosomal abnormality he cannot be a calico cat."[6]
It is currently impossible to reproduce the fur patterns of calico cats by cloning. "This is due to an effect called x-linked inactivation which involves the random inactivation of one of the X chromosomes. Since all female mammals have two X chromosomes, one might wonder if this phenomenon could have a more widespread impact on cloning in the future."[11]
Calico cats may have already provided findings relating to physiological differences between male and female mammals. This insight may be one day broadened to the fields of psychology, psychiatry, sociology, biology and medicine as more information becomes available regarding the complete effect of random X-inactivation in female mammals.[8][10][12]
Cats of this coloration are believed to bring good luck in the folklore of many cultures.[13] In the United States, these are sometimes referred to as money cats.[14] The Japanese Maneki Neko figurine is almost always a calico cat. A cat of the calico coloration is also the state cat of Maryland in the United States.[15]

Prabhu Jagatbandhu College, generally popular as Andul College, is situated on the bank of once famous river, The Saraswati. Some four decades ago on 15.08.1964 this college was founded only as result of a long-cherished aspiration of thousands of education conscious people of very old and culturally rich localities of Jhorehat, Andul and Mouri. This college has been named after Sri Sri Prabhu Jagatbandhu, a saint in the true sense of the term. Even today there are a great number of his devotees. One of the devotee, Dr. Tinkari Ghosh, M. B. gifted some of his land and a building to start the college. An organising committee comprising Principal Bijoy Krishna Bhattacharyya, Prof. Bipin Krishna Ghosh, Sri Bijoyananda Chatterjee, Dr. Renu Bhusan Chatterjee and Sri Harigopal Bhattacharyya was set up to run the college. Sri Harigopal Bhattacharyya was the Secretary of the committee. The dream of the college could not have culminated into reality but for the voluntary donation by the education loving people of the locality, raised by the untriing, selfless benevolent group under the name of 'Karmi Sangha'. Later on the Science Building was constructed with the money and materials donated by generous Surath Mohan Paul. Dr. T. K. Ghosh made a gift to the college some of his landed property and Surath Mohan also executed a trust deed between N. C. Paul (Bricks) Pvt. Ltd. and the college makeing in a perennial source of Income of the college.
The first President, founder secretary and the first Principal of the college were Mr. Saila Kumar Mukherjee, Ex-Finance Minister, Govt. of West Bengal, Harigopal Bhattacharyya, an eminent scholar of the locality and Prof. Banibhusan Dasgupta respectively. The entire process of establishing this much needed college in a semi-urban, scheduled caste constituency was executed with the blessings of Prof. Bijoy Krishna Bhattacharyya, an eminent on 31st December, 1993. From January 1994 to July 1997 in the absence of a regular principal, the college was run under the able guidance of two teachers-in-charge Dr. Shyamal Kumar Sengupta, (from January 1994 to August 1994), and then Dr. Santosh Kumar Chakraborty, (September 1994 to July 1997). Prof. Kalachand Saha took over the charge as the third principal, of the college on 01.08.1997. Dr. Prajna Maitra was appointed as Teacher-in-Charge on 14.11.2006 and continued successfully in that position till 10.02.2009. Dr. Ajit Kumar Bera was appointed as Principal on 11.02.2009.
Though this co-educational college was started in the humbe way and had been handicapped by the over-bearing presence of at least four big colleges (three in Howrah town and one in Uluberia), it withstood all the difficulties and has now become one of the leading colleges in Howrah District. All credit goes to the students, teaching and non-teaching staff of the college. From the very inception of this college a unique tradition of cordial relationship among students, teaching and non-teaching staffhas developed, which very few colleges can boast of. At present numerous studetns come from larger surroundings, and from different strata of the society, but the tradition of cordial relationship goes on as ever. Again the college has been able to maintain its own identity and a good academic standard as reflected in teaching and University Examination results. Most of the students who come to study in this college are mediocre, yet those who pass out of this institution have been able to establish themselves in different spheres of life. The college has a good infrastructure for excellent academic pursuits for example spacious classrooms, computerised library and well-equipped laboratories, qualified and devoted teachers and efficient non-teaching staff. It has an attractive campus view with four buildings froming an almost retangular structural pattern around a lush green ground surrounded by a concrete road. On the western side of the campus, the building was constructed under the scheme of MPLAD fund of Hon'ble M. P. Mr. Swadesh Ranjan Chakraborty. Mr. Chakraborty further allotedRs. 10,00,000 from the same fund for seeting up computers in the college. The college has received a grant of Rs. 25,00,000 to construct Womens' Hostel from the U.G.C. so that those female students facing trouble in traversing long distances to pursue graduate programmes can reside in the hostel.
The college has introduced nine Honours subjects : Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Bengali, English, History, Philosophy, Geography, Political Science, Economics and Accounting & Finance together with General courses in almost all major subjects. General courses in Computer Science, Electronics & Physical Education have been introduced. Botany (Gen) was introduced from the session 2008-09.The college encourages the students to partake in sports (both indoor and outdoor) by providing all sorts of equipments for sports and games activities. 16 station Gym has been installed in the college for the development of physical strength of the general students at a nominal charge under the able guidance of Sri Palash Patra, ANO of our college N.C.C.Unit.The college has formed an SC/ST Cell to look after the needs of the SC/ST Candidates admitted in the college. As the college is situated in a backward rural area, the college authority deemed it right to form this cell as per the guidelines of University of Calcutta.

Stefan Hunt spent much of his academic career trying to understand why people make lousy financial decisions.
In March, Ralph Ronzio went to a warehouse in a seedy part of Orange County, California, and watched a man auction off his condo for half what he'd paid for it. Ronzio had bought the place for $329,000 in 2005, when he moved to Southern California from Rhode Island to take a job at a data-storage company. It was the first place he'd ever owned.

John Coates, a senior research fellow in neuroscience and finance at the University of Cambridge, has a theory. He says there would be fewer stock market bubbles and crashes if women and older men handled most of the trading. "There is less diversity in the financial world than in the military," he quips. "On Wall Street, we have one slice of the population -- young men -- running our trading floors. That leads to extreme behavior: They go wilding."
They shape economies, move markets, do deals -- and change the world. They hold sway by virtue of the money they manage, the companies they control, the policies they enact and the ideas they propound. The people on the third annual 50 Most Influential list, to be published in the October issue of Bloomberg Markets magazine, command attention as masters of the global financial system.

You have arrived to a website dedicated to Revenger inc. This page contains information about our software and some links to where it can be downloaded. Information about our software is found under "Projects" on the left. Source code and binary distributions are available under "Download".
Thanks to Daniel Roop at Moncton Computer Service, this website has now moved to a new address. This should hopefully be a more reliable source of downloading our software. Please don't bother Daniel with any questions about Revenger inc. Send them to us instead.
Non-sense update to keep GeoCities.com from removing all files. In case someone has a few kB's of webspace to host these files, feel free to send us an e-mail.
Revenger inc. suspends all operations.
As those who has followed the development of Revenger inc.'s software has noticed, the pace has never been very high. The development cycle has usually been one or two upgrades every year and after each upgrade, we released one or two bug-fixes. However, recently there has been no development at all, and all projects has been standing still.
The reasons for this are simple enough, and boils down to time and complexity. Revenger inc. has always been a spare time occupation, we have never been paid for the work, it has never had a budget and the reason to do it has been for fun, rather than for profit. At the same time the size and complexity of the projects has increased and requires a lot more work today than four years ago.
Well, shortage of time and energy is something we have plenty of these days. :)
Since there has been no work put into the projects for a long time, and this doesn't seem likely to change, we conclude that the rational thing to do is to simply step away from it. There is no point in telling people who keep asking when the new release will be out, that it might come next month, next year and so on, since the most likely answer is that it will not be out at all. So now we can simply say: it will not be out at all.
It seems that people has liked what we have done, and it has been nice to get feedback, with suggestions on improvements and fixes. It has also been nice to be able to share some of the source code with folks, who has wanted to make something similar. Thus, it would feel sad to hold out on the possibility to improve the programs further.
We have therefore decided to release all source code for all our project under an open source-licence. We have chosen the MIT-licence, which we believe will put the code to the best use. This means that anyone can get a copy of the source code, and make changes or improvements to it, and use it in their own programs, provided Revenger inc. gets credit. We hope that releasing the source code like this will at least to some extent make the projects live on.
We would of course be happy to see someone pick up the work after us, and should someone care to start a Sourceforge-project based on our code, or in any other way try to make the programs develop further, we would be happy to lend a helping hand, should it be neccessary.
As stated above, Revenger inc. has been a project for fun, and fun it has been. Thanks to everyone who has tried out our software and helped us have fun.
Snow.exe 0.0.0.2 is released. This version works on Windows XP.
Snow.exe 0.0.0.1 is released! Find all the winter you need on the download page. :)
MinMaxExtender 188.8.131.52 is released. It contains a bunch of fixes and some new functionality. It also supports using other languages than english. You can find it on the download page.
Changed the license for snow.exe and TranspIcon.exe. We are now using the MIT-license for our open source-projects. Also updated some documentation in snow.exe and Transpicon.exe.
MinMaxExtender is released as a beta called 126.96.36.199b-2. Check it out on the projects page. You can help...
MinMaxExtender 184.108.40.206b is the new beta release of MMExt. Get it from the project page.
Since it has been a long while since something last happened here, our conscience forces us to, in an act of slight panic, figure something out to say here.
For starters, if you speak spanish you can now get CMExt and MMExt in spanish, thanks to Cbf who has translated the programs and documentation. You can find the programs at http://hispanicoweb.miarroba.com.
Second, to give the illusion of something having been done the last couple of months, we release a small, trivial and not very useful program called TranspIcon. It just makes the desktop more transparent than usual. It can be found on the download page.
TranspIcon and snow.exe are now released with a BSD-ish sort of license. That means that you can get the source for the programs and make modifications of them, with practically no strings attached. It's free and it up for grabs. We're looking in to releasing coming versions of MMExt and CMExt under the same license.
As for MMExt and CMExt, progress is steady and secure. Or in other words, very slow. But it should get better before long. Probably...
Snow.exe is born and brought to the world. Check the projects-page to find out about Snow.exe, or go to the download-page to let the winter invade your computer.
MinMaxExtender version 18.104.22.168 sees the light of day in a non-beta release. Find it on the download-page.
New beta of MinMaxExtender. See projectspage for details.
New release of CMenuExtender with a minor fix.
Opps, the Newsletter-page had wrong mail-addresses. Now it's corrected.
After having spent far to much time messing about with the css-file and struggeling with GIMP, Revenger inc. online gets a new look. It's not revolutionary and it won't win any prices, but it's the contents that counts. And we do have a logo now. It's a tree.
We also have a newsletter hosted by groups.yahoo.com, so if you want to know about our new releases check out the section on the left. An user suggested that we should have it several months ago, but we didn't get around to putting it up on the pages.
This version of Revenger inc. online is also written in Emacs and has been checked out in Netscape on X11. It looked horrible, so we checked it out in Windows instead, which was a little better. But we're not web-designers so don't look to close. :)
New beta of MinMaxExtender. Download from the project-page.
Recieved an e-mail from Geocities saying that this page will be shut down periodically, since we have to much traffic. What are poor freeware-developers without a budget to do? Anyone with a few KBs of webspace to spare for a mirrorsite? And yes, we know we could buy some space really cheap somewhere, but really cheap is not free, and we make freeware, not really-cheap-ware. :)
Of course, we should have set up mirrors long ago, that's why we have the disclaimer at the bottom of the pages, but we just didn't get around to it. Anyway, with any luck, it isn't too serious. If it is too serious, we might get sued, end up in prison and have to code for peanuts. ;)
Version 188.8.131.52 of CMenuExtender is released. It includes a bugfix for [movefolder] and [copyfolder].
Version 184.108.40.206 of CMenuExtender is released and can be found on the downloadpage.
The new version of CMenuExtender is made available for beta-testing.
New releases of CMenuExtender and MinMaxExtender. For more information check out the projectspage. The new files can be found on the downloadpage.
Someone at Revenger inc. learns some HTML and Revenger inc. online is born and brought to the world.
These pages are written with GNU Emacs and has been checked out with Mozilla on a X11-server. It looks decent enough, but IE-users might see things different. The page uses CSS and probably complies to some standard of HTML...

Theodore Walton of Clay Daniel Walton & Adams PLC focuses on personal injury, employment, and commercial litigation. Ted is proud to represent individuals and small businesses all across Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
Ted represents Kentucky accident victims seriously injured as the result of someone's carelessness. Whether you were injured in a Kentucky car accident, an Indiana truck accident – as the result of medical malpractice, food poisoning, or a defective or dangerous product, Ted is ready to review your case at no charge to you.
Ted has particular interest in helping individuals that have suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury as the result of someone else's negligence. As a Indiana and Kentucky brain injury attorney, Ted has handled numerous brain injury cases. Brain Injuries can result from car and truck accidents, contaminated products, medical malpractice, serious falls, or toxic exposure. To learn more visit Ted's Brain Injury Information Page or Brain Injury Blog or call him today at 502-561-2005.
Ted understands that injuries suffered in these types of incidents are often devastating to the injured and their family. Over the past ten years, he has gained a profound appreciation of injured people's primary goals after traumatic injuries:
- Ensure medical expenses are taken care of
- Help offset your family's financial loss by getting lost wages paid
- Making sure the insurance company is fair
- Helping to prevent the type of conduct that lead to these devastating injuries
Ted will talk over all these issues with you, explain the options available, and work hard for you to hold the company, individual, and their insurance company accountable for the harm they have caused.
You should not have to work in a hostile environment. If you find yourself dreading your job every day because of unfair sexual harassment, fearing for your safety, or simply unable to do your job because your employer has not given you proper accommodations for your disabilities, call Ted today.
Ted is available to help you if harassed or discriminated against in the workplace, or if your employer has failed to give you medical leave. Ted handles all types of employment disputes from simple unemployment benefits hearings to complex multistate contractual disputes on behalf of executives and small businesses.
THE CALL FOR JUSTICE (Ted's Mission Statement)
I am selective in the cases I take because I do not believe that all cases serve compelling interests. I believe that our legal system, and especially our tort systems plays an important role in creating a better, safer, and fairer world. The clients I represent frequently see beyond the tragedy that has so profoundly changed their life, and want to ensure that no one else suffers as they have. Cases that are the result of corporate rule breaking and profits over safety, and unfair bias against particular groups of our fellow humans are all too common. The threat of aggressive attorneys willing to fight for their client and bring callous and irresponsible behavior in front of a jury helps to deter and prevent the worst of this rule breaking. Aggressive advocacy not only helps the individual client, but it helps make a better, safer, fairer world.
Ted's office is located in Louisville, Kentucky although he handles cases all across Kentucky and Indiana, and even nationally. He has been a Kentucky and Indiana trial lawyer for over a decade.
Ted's legal fees are usually contingent. This means there is no charge for Ted's time unless your case is successfully concluded.
