During the course of the day, I met and spoke with others whose stories were powerful reminders of how natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy serve to underscore the stark economic and social demarcation lines between "those with" and "those without."
Volunteering with the Red Cross as a chaplain during Hurricane Sandy has caused me to radically re-evaluate my understanding of the psychological dimensions of giving tzedakah,. I see now that tzedakah can encompass listening, empathizing with those in need of sharing their stories, and in so doing, restoring a sense of dignity and self-worth to the dispossessed and emotionally fragile.
One of the core guiding principles of the Red Cross is that nobody is to be treated as a victim; all are "clients" with self-worth and dignity and are on the road to self-recovery. Promoting independence and autonomy is our first priority.
Jewish sages from as far back as Maimonides have emphasized the need to be kind and respectful in the way we give and treat those in need: "Whoever gives tzedakah to the poor [person] with a sour expression and in a surly manner, even if he gives a thousand gold pieces, loses his merit. One should instead give cheerfully and joyfully, and empathize with him in his sorrow."
In keeping with these sentiments, Britain's chief rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks, emphasized in his 2005 book "To Heal a Fractured World" the psychological dimension of the laws of tzedakah as a complex and subtle response to the individual relative to their previous condition and social standing. Sacks's understanding of the psychology of tzedakah — "to hear the silent cry of those in need" — underlines how preserving the self-respect of those experiencing shame as a result of their changed circumstances is of paramount importance.
Volunteering as a member of the disaster relief team is an emotionally taxing and sometimes grueling task. It is far more challenging than anonymous giving, for the recipients cannot remain faceless statistics or households; each has a unique story to tell. And each is a mirror to our own insecurities. We are all reflected in Joe, Margarite and the many others affected. Their stories could just as well be ours, much as we might want to deny it sometimes.
Yet for thousands of New Yorkers, and for many others from across the country who joined the hurricane relief efforts, volunteering in person was a natural and obvious response to the idea of the interconnected community. "We've got each other's backs" is how one of my colleagues put it. I immediately thought of the phrase "Kol Yisrael Areivim zeh La'Zeh": "All Jews are responsible for one another" (Tractate Shavuot 39a), until I realized that the line, and its scriptural source, " "Do not stand idly by while your neighbor's blood is shed" (Leviticus 19:16), taken in its literal sense could be (and has been) read to refer to helping others like us. So engrossed are we in the details of our own lives as members of a Jewish community that we forget about the importance of helping others outside it.
As I understand Jewish law, it does not require us to rush into a dangerous situation to play the hero, but it does require us, as socially responsible Jews, to overcome particularism and the sense of "helping one's own," and to do everything in our power to safely help those around us, Jewish or not, who are in danger or in genuine need of support.
This is the meaning of social responsibility. And it doesn't have to take much. We often forget how a smile, a kind word or a boost of confidence can lift a person's spirits. And it costs us nothing at all.

Counterfeiters beware, you are In Our Sites…
The Department of Justice (DOJ) seized over $1.5 million in proceeds from the distribution and sale of counterfeit sports apparel on illegal commercial websites. In addition to this seized capital, the DOJ seized three domain names. Counterfeit apparel plagues any brand owner and robs the purchaser of quality goods. The online policing necessary to protect a brand and its purchasers is costly and time consuming. US law enforcement has risen to the challenge to assist brand owners and authorized producers of these goods. In-house methods are not always sufficient, and counsel should take advantage of government initiatives to combat this counterfeit and online infringement.
This most recent seizure is a result of the continued and successful efforts by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Office of Homeland Security Investigations, operation dubbed "In Our Sites." To date, this operation has taken down over 750 domain names used in the sale and distribution of illegal copyright and counterfeit goods.
"The seizures we are announcing today are another step forward in our efforts to disrupt and disable those engaged in intellectual property crime," said Assistant Attorney General Breuer. "By seizing the domain names and profits of online counterfeit goods operations, we are protecting consumers and sending a message to criminals that we will use every tool at our disposal to stop them."
After the goods were purchased, to authenticate them as counterfeit, a US Magistrate Judge in the US District Court for the District of Columbia authorized warrants for the three domain names used to distribute the apparel.
ICE Director Morton stated "Operation In Our Sites and the tireless work of the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center protect consumers from fraud on the Internet and combat intellectual property theft which exacts a toll on our economy and industries." This is one of the efforts by a DOJ task force on intellectual property protection. Brand managers can rest assured that the burden will not fall completely on them to police the internet for infringing goods and counterfeits.
According to the DOJ website, the "The IP Task Force seeks to strengthen intellectual property rights protection through heightened criminal and civil enforcement, greater coordination among federal, state and local law enforcement partners, and increased focus on international enforcement efforts, including reinforcing relationships with key foreign partners and U.S. industry leaders."
We all need a little help from our friends, and in this case, it is a joint task force of government agencies, protecting both consumers and brand owners. Operation "In Our Sites" is now in our sites, and we thank you.

Here are some details about my project: | |
Category | Knitting |
Type | Accessory |
Sizing | Women |
Style | Hipster, Classic, Casual |
What are you most proud of? You can make this project multiple times because it makes a great gift. And each time you can play and experiment with different yarns to see how they behave within the entrelac fabric.
I love the colors the greens with the purples! I have the Ultimate Knitting Machine and I have directions to do entreloc knitting on it , but I'm having a hard time following the directions. I was thinking to learn it by handknitting it first.
I think understanding the construction via the handknitting method makes visusalizing the machine knitting method much easier!
I have finished three using Gwen as my teacher in her Entralac class, she is great, starting the scarf next. Just got her book yesterday, wish I had her by my side telling me what to do step by step for some of those lovely patterns!
I finally downloaded the class and LOVED everything! I was intimidated by it at first so I procrastinated starting. But I am SO excited to do it now! I am working on a different project right now and am about to put it on hold. Lol Thank you Gwen for expanding my technical skills! (=D)
I am so glad you are getting so much out of the class!!!

Networking with the Printer Port
PLIP means "Parallel Line Internet Protocol". It is a protocol used to bring IP traffic over a parallel cable. It works with any parallel interface and is able to transfer about 40KB per second. With PLIP you can connect any two computers at virtually no cost. Although nowadays ISA network cards are readily found and installed, you will still enjoy PLIP as soon as you get a laptop, unless you can afford a PCMCIA network card.
PLIP allows you to connect your computer to the Internet wherever there is a networked Linux box with a parallel port available, as long as you have root access on both systems (only root can load a module or configure an interface).
I find the internal design of PLIP quite interesting on three levels:
It shows how to use simple I/O instructions.
It lets you look at how network interfaces fit in the overall kernel.
It shows in practice how kernel software uses the task queues.
Before showing any PLIP code, I'd like to describe the workings of the standard parallel port, so that you'll be able to understand how the actual data transfer takes place.
The parallel port is a simple device; its external connector exposes 12 output bits and 5 input bits. Software has direct access to the bits by means of three 8-bit ports: two ports for writing and one for reading. Moreover, one of the input signals can trigger an interrupt; this ability is enabled by setting a bit in one of the output ports. Figure 1 shows how the three ports are mapped to the 25-pin connector. The base_addr of a parallel port (the address of its data port) is usually 0x378, 0x278 or 0x3bc. The vast majority of the parallel ports uses 0x378.
Physical access to the ports is achieved by calling two C-language functions defined in the kernel headers:
#include <linux/io.h> unsigned char inb(unsigned short port); void outb(unsigned char value, unsigned short port);
The "b" in the function name means "byte". Linux also offers inw (word, 16-bit), inl (long, 32-bit) and their output counterparts, but they are not needed to use the parallel port. The functions just shown are in fact macros, and they expand to a single machine instruction on most Linux platforms. Their definition relies on extern inline functions; this means you must turn optimization on when compiling any code using them. The reason behind this is somehow technical, and it is well explained in the gcc man page.
You don't need to be in kernel space to call inb and outb. If you want to access I/O ports from a shell script, you can compile inp.c and outp.c and play games with your devices (and even destroy the computer). For this reason, only root can access ports. The source code for inp.c and outp.c is available by anonymous download in the file ftp://ftp.linuxjournal.com/lj/listings/issue47/2662.tgz.
Based on the description of the parallel port I provided in the previous section, it should be clear that two parties that communicate using PLIP must exchange five bits at a time, at most. The PLIP cable must be specially wired in order to connect five of the outputs of one side to the five inputs at the other side, and vice-versa. The exact pin out of the PLIP cable is described in the source file drivers/net/plip.c and in several places elsewhere, so I won't repeat the information here.
One of the deficiencies of the parallel port is the unavailability of any timing resources in hardware. Compare this with the serial port which contains its own clock. The communication protocol can't exploit any advanced hardware functionality, and any handshake must be performed in software. The chosen protocol uses one of the bits as a strobe signal to signal the availability of four data bits; the receiver must acknowledge receipt of the data by toggling its own strobe line. This approach to data transmission is very CPU intensive. The processor must poll the strobe signal to send its data, and system performance degrades severely during PLIP data transfers.
The time line of a PLIP transmission is depicted in Figure 2, which details the steps involved in the transmission of a single byte of information.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Global Geophysical Announces Strategic Relationship With Geophysical Pursuit (GPI) And Seismic Exchange (SEI)
HOUSTON, April 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Geophysical Services, Inc. (NYSE:GGS) (Global) today announced a strategic licensing, marketing and data distribution relationship with a joint venture created by Seismic Exchange, Inc. (SEI) and Geophysical Pursuit, Inc. (GPI). Under the terms of the relationship, the SEI-GPI joint venture will provide exclusive marketing and distribution services for a substantial portion of Global's North American onshore data library assets.
The parties also intend to collaborate on future data acquisition program opportunities for which Global will become a preferential services provider to both GPI and SEI.
"We are very enthusiastic about the unique opportunities created by this relationship," observed Richard White, CEO of Global. "Our high-quality RG-3D Reservoir Grade® data library offers significant value to a broad array of E&P companies. Leveraging the relationship breadth and customer networks of both SEI and GPI creates a broad opportunity to expand the license base of these data sets."
"The geographic areas covered by Global's seismic data sets are highly complementary to GPI's library," noted Jeff Springmeyer, President of GPI. "We are enthusiastic about leveraging our successful track record in marketing data library assets to create value for Global and our customers."

Remember when we caught that break last week with DLo. Karma says hi.
lol, we didn't exactly "catch a break with DLo" last week, they just decided not to screw us like they almost did. if no mistakes were made on that play, the result would have been the same as it actually happened. And they made up for the "2 wrongs making a right" plenty in the rest of the game with shitty calls benefiting the redskins.
disclaimer: I do understand that technically, the refs should have stuck with their original mistake and taken away the TD, but I don't look at the way it worked out as "catching a break" since if no mistakes had been made, nothing would have changed.

The Spicy Yuma – Picture via Urbanspoon |
I can't say enough great things about this fantastic pizza place in German Village. It is a quaint little restaurant with a unique atmosphere. I suggest grabbing some friends, getting some mason jar cocktails, ordering all different pizzas and sharing.
The only warning I have is that the place, it is somewhat small. This is not the place you want to run into your arch enemy because you will probably sit right next to them. The kitchen is right in the main area and I have been told in the summer it can get very hot. When I went there were inches of snow on the ground, so I had no complaints.
Don't feel like eating there? The restaurant now offers their delicious selections in some local grocery stores including The Hills Market Downtown. Find a location here.
Annie's Favorite Pizza's:
- Vegetable — It includes: mozzarella and provolone cheeses, onion, olives, mushrooms, bell pepper, sunflower sprouts. Sunflower sprouts are really regular sprouts on steroids.
- Spicy Yuma — Canal Junction Gouda cheese, chorizo, jalapeno, corn, roasted red pepper, chipotle-spiked tomato sauce. It defiantly packs a kick, but is like nothing I have ever tasted before.
- Mushroom — Gouda cheese, variety of Athens county mushrooms, truffle, herbs. I love mushrooms and this includes shrooms from the best city ever!
A nice extra is they can make anything in a gluten free version!

CHESHIRE — Starting this fall, the state high school football playoffs will look different than they have for the past four seasons.
Just how different remains to be seen.
On Wednesday, the CIAC Football Committee approved a handful of changes for the 2014 football season. Chief among them: the playoffs will consist of a semifinal round to be played on the Saturday 10 days after Thanksgiving and then a championship round that will be played the Saturday after the semis.
That indicates the end of the quarterfinals, which were added to the postseason in 2010 and played the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Yet 32 teams will continue to qualify for the playoffs, as has been the case over the past four years, when there have been eight qualifiers in each of four classes.
Does keeping the number of qualifiers at 32 without quarterfinals mean Connecticut football will revert back to the six-class system, with MM and SS back in the mix and an Open bracket, or "Best of the Best" tier, that will feature elite teams regardless of size? A separate Catholic school division?
Or will it be pushed to eight classes across the board?
We'll see. The final decision on the 2014 playoff format won't be made until the CIAC Football Committee meets again in February.
What remains unchanged is Thanksgiving. Those games will remain part of the regular season and will be the last to count for postseason power rankings.
Connecticut's football playoff system has long been a topic of debate and has undergone multiple changes since the state shifted away from the old two-qualifiers-per-class system in 1994. The prime issue has been the number of qualifying teams, which has had the state toggling back and forth between four classes and six.
Another issue has been the dominant programs, be they parochial schools like Xavier or St. Joseph or small public powers like Ansonia. Some have suggested separate playoff brackets for the Catholic/prep schools or an Open division that would enable an Ansonia to contend for a state title with the bigger programs.
Then there's the issue of weather, which became a factor this past season.
With the changes adopted in 2010, the finals were pushed 2 1/2 weeks past Thanksgiving, the latest they were ever held.
That wasn't an issue until this year, when a late Thanksgiving combined with early December snow reshuffled the Championship Saturday deck.
Class LL was most effected, with Southington and Fairfield Prep not playing their final until the following Thursday, one night after the boys winter sports season had begun.
Weather, though, was the least of the CIAC Football Committee's concerns. The tight windows between Thanksgiving, quarterfinals and semifinals — three games in 10 games for those that survive, something that's been opposed by the medical community since the 2010 expansion — has been the more pressing issue.

Are there Female Angels? Question: Zechariah 5:9 makes it sound like there are angels that are women?
Are there female angels? The fact that the fallen angels are able engage in reproductive activity (albeit completely illegitimate and subjecting them to severe divine response) thus also argues for there being another gender. And the fact that there are no other instances of female angels being described in scripture outside of the passage in Zechariah is also understandable when one takes into account that most angelic activity on earth is of a military nature, with the forces of the Lord engaged in an cold war (destined to become "hot" in the Tribulation: see "The Coming Tribulation" series at the link) – in God's nation of Israel and in heaven (no doubt), this is the province of males. You might have a look at the following links: This is about all I can say on the subject at present – hope you find it helpful, Yours in Christ, Bob L. |

See, I'd always assumed it was because of people not liking Mohammad Morsi personally, or sour grapes, or some sort of abstract ideal of a perfect, secular democracy that some in the Egyptian secular/liberal opposition carried on like they did. I thought that although it behaved disingenuously in first competing in (and claiming foul play in its loss) then boycotting, then demanding snap elections because it had gained some ground in opinion polls, that it was still, at its nebulous and competing heart, a movement formed around that essential kernel of revolutionary spirit and thirst for freedom so abundantly demonstrated during 18 days of uprising and then 18 months enduring the worst excesses of a brutal military dictatorship.
I was wrong.
After millions of people protested in Egypt yesterday – for and against Morsi, but overwhelmingly, must be said, against – the Supreme Council of Armed Forces today announced, in thinly veiled fashion, a 48hr ultimatum for Morsi – Egypt's first democratically elected president – to step down, or else it would be exacting a military coup. (Even if SCAF doesn't physically seize power, this is still a coup, given Morsi's position as head of state and his sidelining in recent SCAF discussions; and, by waiting until the "opposition" took to the streets thereby ensuring all it has to do is refuse any Brotherhood olive branch and the 48hr deadline has been reached, is still an outrageous impingement of junta will on civilian politics). This is the same SCAF that oversaw the brutal clearing of Tahrir Square and the massacres of protestors at Mohammad Mahmoud and Maspero, that stuck up for security forces finger raping women protesters, that stamped on the chest of the blue bra girl, that allowed Port Said to happen on its watch, that imprisoned more than 12,000 civilians in military jails. This is the same SCAF that hundreds of thousands of people rallied against, the target of a million "yasqut, yasqut hokm l askar" chants. The SCAF that oversaw more than a year, basically, of tyrannous chaos while insisting it was only in the job temporarily.
I knew that some of the opposition had been openly calling for SCAF to take control, to fulfil some sort of warped, democratic-reset-through-authoritarian-force personal fantasy for a while. I knew that resentment for Morsi ran deep. But nothing can prepare you for the spectacle today: Of the so-called revolutionaries scrambling to justify the threat of a goddamn military coup.
Egypt is in a bad shape. I know that. Morsi is not what people had hoped he would be. That too. But when you have people cheering in their thousands – in Tahrir, online, outside the Presidential Palace – when a man named Al-Sisi stands up and basically mandates the forcible removal of the president – as unpopular and imperfect and even clueless as he may be – then you begin to realise something: The counter revolution, the one that has been masquerading as the revolution ever since it realised it couldn't get organised quick enough to compete with a political party that has had eight good decades to prepare for a vote and to consolidate a support base large enough to win not one but four elections, is almost complete.
I don't know why people like Mahmoud Salem and his Twitter followers so enjoy the prospect of a return to military power.
They will say it's only because Morsi is doing such a bad job – as if the 30 years of state neglect and financial sandcastle building didn't exist and it was the current president exclusively and unilaterally who ruined the economy and divided the nation – that they support a coup, and only then temporarily. (SCAF's track record at "temporary" shouldn't have earned it the benefit of the doubt here).
They'll say Morsi has lost his mandate to govern because millions of people oppose him. They will say that they cannot wait for elections for such a body of discontent to manifest itself via the ballot box. (Some will even tell you that elections are overrated while swearing blind they want free and fair democracy).
They will say it's because Morsi is another Mubarak. People who say this either so deeply despise the concept of an Islamist president that they are prepared to whitewash history and evilly make the analogue between Morsi and the man who locked him up and saw him tortured, or else they are stupid. The comparison is cruel, bigoted, hateful and obviously just plain wrong. It's like the "well, Hitler was elected, too," moronic irrelevance that comes from the mouths of those otherwise gagged by hate. (Some of these same people will tell you that if you're white your opinion is invalid, although in fairness not everyone is bigoted and childishly simplistic).
They will say that it's because the country doesn't really support the Brotherhood, it's just that it hijacked the revolution by doing boring, non-revolutionary things like appealing to the needs of communities on a level of local governance, of appealing to the deep religiosity of millions and millions of Egyptians that the secularists find so bafflingly, condescendingly backward. (They will also claim that many of those who vote for the Brotherhood do so because they are paid or stupid).
They will say that the balance of support really lies with the opposition, and they will tell you their version of events on all sorts of things, such as Morsi's dismissal of the feloul prosecutor general in a "power grab" so dictatorial that it was revoked amid popular protests. They will say all of this and know that, mostly, the media will say it their way too.
They will tell you that the Brotherhood sullied its revolutionary credentials by agreeing to a timetable for a transition to democracy and then daring to do something such as actually positioning itself to win a vote. They will do this while glossing over the eight decades of oppression the Brotherhood endured.
They will even make fun of the thousands of Islamists who were imprisoned and tortured under Mubarak; those who had red hot pokers inserted in them by cruel spymasters, then they'll say that the Brotherhood isn't cut out for democracy anyway.
They will tell you, look, I don't hate Islamists and I'm not jealous that they got voted in while we were still putting our pants on, but they've had 12 months and still there's a robust political divide so I'm bored now with this government.
"Only the army can provide effective leadership in the coming days" – they will tell you things like this and mean it.
I'm often accused (not that this should be an accusation, but it is meant as one) of supporting the Brotherhood in general or Morsi in particular. For the record – I don't think much of either. Both have made serious mistakes and misjudgements when it comes to listening to a broad spectrum of political voices. Chances to build consensus have been missed through carelessness and callousness. Of course opponents of Morsi have a right to mobilise whoever they want and stay on the streets for as long as they wish. I don't believe the Brotherhood has a divine right to rule Egypt, but then again I don't believe that it believes it does, either.
What I do believe is that a democratically elected administration – with all the displeasure and obviously widespread disapproval it produces – should be given a chance to carry out what it was mandated to do when it was voted in, en masse and repeatedly. I believe that no president could've dealt with the problems that Morsi has had to deal with, in the face of a non-cohesive, non-cooperative and at times downright obstructionist opposition, and certainly not in just 12 months. I also believe that while democracy is more than turning out to vote every x amount of years, neither is it just a case of how many people groups can mobilise (it's both, and to deny or scoff at either is your error). And I believe if you tell an organisation with millions of ardent supporters, members of which have been imprisoned, tortured, terrorised, raped and killed over decades by oppressive state security, that, after enduring all these horrific wrongs, after the one time they are allowed to show their true strength in a legitimate, mass participation electoral process, that the result doesn't matter and they'll be leaving in 48 hours because you say so, then you deserve whatever backlash such a process provokes.
I also believe that if you really are serious about democracy, you kind of sit it out for a bit more than 12 measly months. I believe that if you gave two shits about the poor people who gave their lives for the revolution, who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that Egyptians could be free to choose their own leaders, you wouldn't try to mitigate or explain away a return to military rule – you'd rage against it.
What I remember, moreover, is the people who were killed, tortured and terrorised under SCAF. I remember the blood and the injustice and the horrible, terrifying lack of accountability that comes with autocratic rule. I remember the police blinding people outside the Interior Ministry, when – forget birdshot and teargas – actual bullets were felling people. I remember seeing the grainy video, recorded on a cellphone of a Masri fan in Port Said, of an Ahly fan being physically beaten to death as the police stood and watched.
Now some people are carrying the police on their shoulders. I believe that is a betrayal.
I've learned a basic and terrifying truth today: That many would rather see a military junta rule with impunity and autocracy than see a democratic administarion govern with fecklessness and error. That many people who call themselves revolutionaries and advocates of democracy simply hate Islamism more than they love freedom. That people are fully prepared to welcome the army back to political life, with a cheer, two fingers up to those killed since 2011, and a good riddance to Egypt's first experiment with democracy. You can keep your "revolution".

HIS 314K • History of Mexican Amers in US
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
38200 |
Martinez |
Course Description
This course will explore the diverse experiences of ethnic Mexicans in the United States from the conquest of Northern Mexico by the U.S. to the contemporary debates regarding immigration and an increasing U.S. Latino/a population. We will examine both the formal and informal ways Mexican American men and women have organized at a regional and national level, and in both rural and urban settings, for social, economic, and political equality. Close attention will be given to several historical moments that have helped shape Mexican American ethnic identity, including: The Mexican-American War and the subsequent racial prejudice and economic displacement Mexican Americans experienced; Mexican immigration to the U.S. and its effect on various worker and ethnic communities; World War II and the rise of Mexican American political activism and civil rights organizing, including inter-ethnic debates over assimilation; and the Chicano/a Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, particularly the role of community, labor, prison, and student organizing in fighting discrimination and establishing better educational and occupational opportunities for Mexican Americans and other ethnic minorities in the United States. To enhance the students understanding of the topics discussed, secondary and primary source readings, as well as photographs, music, and films, will supplement the lectures. By the end of this course, students can expect to have a better understanding of the historical experiences of ethnic Mexicans in the United States, and to have developed the skills to apply this understanding to assess, examine, and interpret the experiences of other historical actors and ethnic groups as well. Students will leave the course with practical skills in historical research and writing and a better comprehension of how historians interpret and document the past.

I was kept awake all night by howling wind and rain pelting my windows.
Oh, the yard looks calm now, but trust me. It's wiiiiindyyyyyyyyy.
Sure, most of the trees that have potential to damage the house (or us) fell victim to previous storms (one, two, three) or just randomly fell on their own (four, five).
But still wind makes me nervous. Hate it.
I think I have developed a phobia.
It's morning now, and the wind is still howling. The weather report, in fact, indicates that today will be windier than last night.
Oh, joy. Can I come hang out at your house today?

It's been quite the year for weather in this state.

The U.S. Mint still produces gold coins, like last year's Saint-Gaudens and Buffalo coins or the First Spouses coins, but since the elimination of the gold standard there haven't been any truly legal tender gold coins in the United States. For example, the First Spouses coins all have a face value of $10, but weigh in at a ½oz of gold worth over $500. Even though these coins are called "legal tender", there's no actual intent to use them at the grocery store – they're value is in their gold content, and their appeal to collectors and investors alike is measured in the weight of their gold. While the gold standard was dying in the late 1960s, however, one country was bouying its currency with cold, hard precious metal.
Along the edge of a prehistoric lake near what is now Johannesburg, South Africa, the water and silt left a long curving deposit of gold called the "Golden Arc". In 1886, gold was discovered in an area called the Witwatersrand basin, making South Africa one of the largest gold producers in the world. Gold remained a major part of South Africa's economy and coinage throughout colonialism and wars, and at the time the Republic of South Africa was established the new form of currency was called the Rand, a shortening of the name of the gold-rich Witwatersrand.
As world dependence on gold as a form of currency was waning, South Africa was determined to continue to use their locally-produced gold as money. In 1967, they took a unique approach: international currencies were being devalued or were fluctuating, so the new gold coins would not include a face value at all. The Krugerrand, a combination of the name of President Paul Kruger on its obverse and the name of the currency at the time, displayed only its weight in gold rather than a monetary value, and were distributed as a true circulating coin, full legal tender for any transaction. The coin wasn't intended entirely for internal purposes, though: although other nations had laws against private individuals owning gold bullion, citizens could legally purchase and own foreign gold coins. The Krugerrand was a circulating gold coin, despite its bullion face value, so it was the perfect way for private investors to convert their fluctuating dollars, pounds, and francs for gold. Foreign investors and collectors purchased thousands of Krugerrands as an investment, and along with locals using it as currency the mint was producing hundreds of thousands of Krugerrands from South African gold a year.
The growing international opposition to apartheid, however, began to sour the Krugerrand as an investment. In particular, the United States cut off the purchase of Krugerrands in 1986, and the presence of U.S.-made gold coins for investment – partly to compete with the Krugerrand – reduced the number of the South African gold coins in America. This blackout continued until 1994, with the end of apartheid and the release of sanctions against the country.
The one-ounce Krugerrand is the most recognizable of the South African gold coins, with millions having been produced since 1967 in their circulating form, and their value remains close to the spec value of gold. Far less common are the rare Krugerrand proof coins, bearing the uncirculated mirror-like finish common to proof coins. Only a few thousand proof Krugerrands have been produced each year, and they bear a higher collectible value than their gold content. The proof coins are also identifiable by their reeded edge: the proofs have 220 serrations, while the circulating coins only have 180. Beginning in 1980, fractional Krugerrands were minted in values of 1/2oz, 1/4oz, and 1/10oz for smaller transactions, and were also minted in both circulating bullion and proof condition. Forgery is rampant in all sizes of the Krugerand, and lower-priced silver replicas are advertised as true Krugerrands when they are not, so great diligence is necessary to ensure a purchased Kruggerand is real.
In 1986, the centennial of the gold rush, South Africa began producing a new gold coin series. The Protea, named for the flower on its obverse, is a commemorative gold coin honoring various important events in South African history on its reverse. Like US bullion coins, the Protea have a face value much lower than the gold value, R25 for the 1oz coin and R5 on the 1/10oz coin, and they are available in both a standard finish and proof finish. In 2005, the Natura series of gold coins were added, depicting the various fauna indigenous to South Africa. The Natura coins, too, are available as both regular and proof, and have small face values: R100 for 1oz, R50 for 1/2oz, R20 for 1/4oz, and R10 for 1/10oz. The Protea and Natura coins are more directly aimed at collectors, rather than gold investors, and their presentation is far more eye-catching than the Krugerrand. As with other newer gold coins, the Protea and Natura are still valued close to the spec gold price, while the older Krugerrands – in particular the mirror-finish proofs – are beginning to grow in value as a collectible.

In order to earn it's title, Bourbon, the spirit must be aged in new charred oak barrels, while Scotch and Irish Whiskey barrels are often used multiple times. After producing a fine bourbon, the barrels are often used by breweries for special "Cask Aged" ales, but again, may only be used once. With such an early retirement, these barrels are comparitively quick to end up in the land fills, and it's our mission to save and recycle them.
Similiard to its overseas relative, the Whisky Barrel Flooring from Scotland, our Bourbon Barrel Flooring is a solid oak flooring made from old bourbon barrels. The barrels are taken apart and nearly every piece is recycled.

reel trick
I have aquired several pages of bottom #'s from a commercial fisherman, the bad thing is they are all loran #'s. I have down loaded the POSAID2 conversion program from the USCG site and have been trying to convert the #'s. As you all know, in bottom fishing accuracy is very important so I took the numbers from a wreck that was on the SCDNR site with loran and gps numbers, input the loran numbers into the posaid program and checked to see how close the lat/lon position it gave was to the lat/lon position given by the SCDNR site for the same wreck. There was a difference of over 700 meters!!! Maybe the flaw was using the SCDNR #'s. Has anyone used this program to convert loran numbers they knew were right and checked to see how accurate they were??? I have several hundred numbers to convert, but do not want to waste my time if the conversions are going to be 700 meters off.

The Movie Review: Earth to EchoFriday, July 11th, 2014 Issue 28, Volume 18.
The fact of the matter is that writers in Hollywood feel inclined to repeat clichés because theres always going to be someone, usually the younger generations, that have never seen some of the more famous storylines in older movies. Weve grown up with "The Goonies" and "Top Gun", but can you really blame someone for saying something is original if theyve havent witnessed the kind of story theyve seen before? One storyline that gets overplayed too often, especially with family films, is the idea of children finding something that an adult has been looking for a while. Weve seen it with aliens, genies, time travel and even space exploration. These are the kinds of stories that tend to achieve better in a technical aspect then a storytelling aspect. With something like "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", I was never too passionate about the characters, and mostly thought "wouldnt it be cool if I was there." These are stories that kids love because they themselves would like to be in the characters shoes, just not the character though. This is such a case with "Earth to Echo". Tuck, Alex, and Munch are three middle school boys that are simply a close group of friends that like to hang. Theyre all being forced to move out of their neighborhood, as construction is about to begin on a new interstate freeway. At the same time, their smartphones are acting up, showing fuzzy messages that look like a map. On the last night on the block, they lie to their parents about a sleepover theyre having, and ride their bikes out into the Nevada Desert to trace the source of their smartphone messages. They find what looks to be a small, broken piece of satellite equipment, but discover is actually a small robot alien. The thing Advertisement The robot leads the kids through several towns to acquire the various parts it needs in order to get home. The boys manage to get a girl in the group named Emma. All four of them set out to help the alien, but are also being chased by government officials who might be behind the construction job at their houses. What Im describing must sound an awful like "E.T.", right? This films hook is that its also a found footage style movie where the kids have shot the whole story using smart phones. I can give it credit that by going with this method it has more of its own identity. If it were made as a regular movie, I think people would have not been as intrigued by its previews. Now is it enough to make it work? For me, not completely. While I wont give away what happens, Ill say that if youve seen "E.T.", then youve already seen this movie. The movies biggest strength is the friendship between these kids. They all seem legitimately close to each other, and watching them interact and try to figure out where to go next is interesting. I also like the design of Echo, harboring something like the aliens from "Batteries Not Included". Whats not interesting is the story. I think it plays way too safe by following the "E.T." formula. If the film producers thought more outside the box, I would have liked it better. As a treat for kids, if they havent seen "E.T"., then I think theyll really like this. Theres just very little for the adults. Ill give this three Echos out of five. This is simply another alien story for kids that are similar to others. Is it bad? I cant go that far. Its just a journey that Ive been on before. Robert T. Nickerson is a film critic. His work can be seen at mastermindfilmproductions.com. 2 comments
Just a warning, it's shot like they used a handheld camcorder. It's very shaky and kinda makes you a bit queasy. My wife actually had to leave because she was getting sick, but my 5-year-old was fine.
The shaking of the picture because of the camera on the bike and glasses had kids puking so bad at the showing we attended. They were sick, similar to car sickness. We found out too late that a local morning radio talk show had warned viewers of this.

All together not happy with the boot, so I returned them. On one of them the side zipper didn't even zip all the way down. I love overstock.com but idid not love these boots. Felt like they were made of paper, cardboard, and material.
These shoes are cute with a dress for a fall/winter wedding and they are just as cute with a pair of skinny jeans as a casual look! These aren�t the greatest shoes if you are going to be on your feet for a while mainly because the insole of the shoe is made out of a shiny, slipper material and your foot tends to slide around while walking I am thinking of getting a gel insole to fit this problem! otherwise worth the price!
I like the shoe but returned because size wrong. I love overstocked, but sometimes products are not what they say they are
I would recommend them to anyone if they cost less. They are clearly made poorly. It would be a great value if they were $20 less. Like I said before, super cute, also super cheap.

Robert De Niro, Barry Manilow and Donnie Wahlberg Take New York
By Lisa Marsh on January 23, 2013 8:41am
NEW YORK — Let's hear it for the boys.
There were girls of all ages swooning last night as Barry Manilow and a collection of boy bands including New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees and Boys II Men took over Times Square.
Manilow was on hand at the corner of 44th and Broadway for the renaming of that stretch of 44th Street as "Manilow Way."
The slightly younger set was at Irving Plaza where Donnie Wahlberg and Nick Lachey announced that New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees and Boys II Men would be hitting the road for a super tour.
At the Greenwich Hotel in TriBeCa, Robert De Niro honored artist Joyce Pensato with the Robert DeNiro Sr. Award, a cash grant for a mid-career artist.

Results tagged ' Vernon Wells '
Hall Monitor: the durable Jamie Moyer
By Trevor Hayes
Let's get it out of the way so we can start dissecting what it means: Jamie Moyer has allowed more home runs than any other player in the history of the game.
On Sunday during the bottom of the third inning, Toronto's Vernon Wells hit the first pitch he saw from Moyer into the left field seats – the 506th home run allowed during Moyer's 24-year career. The home run moved Moyer into sole possession of the record and past fellow Philles legend, Hall of Famer Robin Roberts.
In baseball history, 25 men have hit 500 home runs. Only Moyer and Roberts have given up that many, so Moyer is in good company. Roberts held or shared the all-time home runs allowed title for 52 years and 321 days. The Hall of Famer won 286 games, compiled up a .539 winning percentage and finished his 19-year career with a 3.41 career ERA. He was a workhorse with 305 complete games in 609 starts. He pitched 4,688 innings.
Just below Roberts on the homers-allowed list are Hall of Famers Fergie Jenkins (484), Phil Niekro (482) and Don Sutton (472). Among the home runs allowed top ten, there are six Hall of Famers, six 3,000-striekout pitchers, five 300-game winners and no one under 4,000 innings pitched.
The record speaks to the longevity of Moyer's career. In the same game Moyer gave up the record-breaking home run, he threw his 4,000th inning. Just 28 men since 1901 have logged that many innings. Nineteen of them are in the Hall of Fame, and five others are named Bert Blyleven, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine, Randy Johnson and Greg Maddux.
Looking at Moyer's stats, you come to the conclusion that if he's pitched 24 seasons and registered 4,005 inning in the majors, he had to be doing something right. To this point, Moyer has collected 267 wins, 2,393 strikeouts and owns a .571 winning percentage in 682 career games. He's fourth in the National League in wins this season at nine and fifth in shutouts and complete games, despite being the oldest player in the majors for the last three years. He owns a pair of 20-win seasons and he's only led the league in home runs allowed once.
Moyer's age, 47, shows his ability to re-invent himself to find ways to get hitters out and be effective – and has been an underlying storyline to his career for the last few years. This season he recorded a complete game victory in his 264th career win. The victory was also his 100th since turning 40. Only two pitchers prior to Moyer had won 100 games on the north side of 40, Niekro (121) and Jack Quinn (104). Moyer is now at 103 and still going strong.
Lefties like Moyer have a penchant for hanging on. He's hung on long enough to see his son was drafted (this season by the Twins in the 22nd round). He's hung on long enough to face a 20-year-old rookie who was born in 1990 – Moyer's fifth major league season. Starlin Castro got a hit off Moyer, creating the largest age gap between a hitter and pitcher since 21-year-old Tim Foli got a hit off Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm at 49 in 1972.
One last age note related to Moyer. Since 1901, Only Satchel Paige, Wilhelm, Quinn, Niekro, Kaiser Wilhelm and Nick Altrock pitched at 47 or older. Paige was in a one-game stunt with the Kansas City A's to make him the oldest player at 58, but his last real season was at 46. Hoyt Wilhelm and Quinn both pitched at 49, appearing in 16 and 14 games respectively. At 48, Wilhelm had similar number (20 appearances), while Quinn threw 87 innings in 42 games. Also at 48, Niekro made 26 starts, pitching 138 innings. Niekro, Quinn and Hoyt Wilhelm were all effective at 47.
So the question becomes, how much longer will Jamie Moyer go?

Hall Monitor: Perfection, Civil Rights in Cincy and one cycle?
By Trevor Hayes
The last week has been a historical one in many respects and will certainly go down as an important one in the 2010 memory bank.
Tex and Lou: The Sox-Yankees feud adds a new layer each year. This year's latest notable? Mark Teixeira's three-homer game on Saturday matched Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig's as the only Yankees' three-homer effort against Boston. Gehrig's barrage came in an 11-4 win at Fenway Park on June 23, 1927. Since 1920, Bronx Bombers have recorded 22 games with three or more homers.
Just one cycle: On May 14, 2009, the majors had already witnessed three cycles with a fourth to come in a little more than a week. This season only Milwaukee's Jody Gerut has accomplished the feat, with his cycle last Saturday. Last season a record-tying eight cycles were hit, artifacts of which can be seen – along with Gerut's bat from the first home run in Citi Field history – in the Today's Game exhibit at the Hall of Fame.
Third knuckler to 2,000: With his fourth-inning K of Vernon Wells on Wednesday, Tim Wakefield achieved his 2,000th major-league strikeout. Phil Niekro and Charlie Hough are the only other knucklers above the 2,000-mark, with the Hall of Famer at 3,342 and Hough at 2,362. At the age of 43 years, 283 days, Wakefield became the second-oldest pitcher to reach the 2,000-strikeout mark. The only older pitcher to reach the milestone was Jamie Moyer at 44 years, 145 days in 2007.
Following Perfection: Dallas Braden's media whirlwind is over and his artifacts are in Cooperstown, so what's next after tossing the major's 18th regular-season perfect game last Sunday? Less than a year ago, Mark Buehrle threw a perfecto against the same Tampa Bay Rays Braden faced – making it the shortest time span separating a pair of perfect games since Worcester's Lee Richmond against Cleveland (the first perfect game) and Providence's Hall of Famer John Montgomery Ward versus Buffalo, which happened within a week in 1880 – and then retired the 17 batters he faced in his next start. Coupled with the final batter of his start prior to the perfect game, Buehrle set the record for consecutive hitters retired. Braden has his chance to keep perfection going tonight against the Angels in a 10:05 ET start in Los Angeles. "To have something of mine taking up space in that beautiful Hall is pretty nice," said Braden, who visited Cooperstown a few years ago.
Celebrating Civil Rights: Hall of Famer Joe Morgan will be back in Cincinnati this weekend for the annual Civil Rights Game – which this year features the Cardinals and Reds. The former second baseman for the Big Red Machine is helping kick off the event with a roundtable discussion on the state of race relations. Also among the festivities held at the Freedom Center and the Reds Hall of Fame are a meet-and-greet event with former Negro leagues players and a special exhibition of Jackie Robinson artifacts, including a game-worn jerseys, a Robinson bat and a ticket stub from the April 15, 1947, game in which Robinson broke the color barrier for the Dodgers.

Within days of Hinrichs's death, a number of Internet websites were speculating that he had planned to blow himself up inside the stadium — and that he was a radical Muslim terrorist. Blog headlines screamed, ''Jihad at the University of Oklahoma?" and ''The Oklahoma Suicide Bomber."
The mainstream media can be arrogant. But the bloggers and their readers are sometimes too willing to accept trafficking in rumor and speculation as a process from which the truth will ultimately emerge through the self-correcting power of debate.
By the time it emerges, too much damage may be done. If the ''citizen journalists" want respect, they must hold themselves and one another to higher standards of accuracy.
