Using the Antioxidant Color Wheel On the color wheel, the purple-blue-red-orange spectrum is home to the most antioxidant-rich fruits. Wild blueberries are the winner overall. Just one cup has 13,427 total antioxidants - vitamins A & C, plus flavonoids (a type of antioxidant) like querticin and anthocyanidin. That's about 10 times the USDA's recommendation, in just one cup! Cultivated blueberries have 9,019 per cup and are equally vitamin-rich. Buying tip: Peak season starts in mid-May, so blueberries are less expensive during the summer. Cranberries are the tart crown jewels of turkey feasts. They're also antioxidant powerhouses (8,983). To get cranberries after the holiday scene has passed, creative cooks sneak dried cranberries into risottos, salads, salsas, and trail mixes. Blackberries (7,701), raspberries (6,058), strawberries (5,938), black plums (4,873), sweet cherries (4,873), and red grapes (2,016) are also brimming with vitamins A and C and flavonoids like catechin, epicatechin, quercetin, and anthocyanidin. Tossed into a green salad, these berries add extra color, flavor, and texture. They're also very edible by the handful, with morning cereal, mixed into yogurt, spooned over waffles or pancakes, and sprinkled over ice cream. All-American apples are also vitamin- and antioxidant-rich treats. The classic Red Delicious (5,900), Granny Smith (5,381), Gala (3,903), and many other varieties are available nearly year-round. Applesauce, juice, and jellies are also tasty apple sources, but beware of added sugar (check the label). Here's a tip: Mix some chopped apple into a tuna salad for a sandwich. Finally, orange-colored fruits are good sources of antioxidants as well. One naval orange has 2,540; the juice has about half that. Bite into a luscious ripe mango, and you'll get 1,653. A peach has 1,826, tangerines, 1,361, and pineapple, 1,229. |

The War On Analytics
Why is there so much animosity between analytics and athletes? Our three-man weave chats. THTV THTV: D'Antoni on Suns Morey talks Barkley Meyers' GM secrets Sloan coverage »
"I like to bring up that deal whenever I can," he joked, drawing teases from Myers and Malhotra. But the insight into the Rockets' decision to open the war chests was illuminating.
"We basically told [Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander], 'We should just give [Oklahoma City] everything. Like, literally, every possible thing that isn't bolted down at the Rockets should be traded,'" Morey said.
Myers was less overt about campaigning for Curry but did point out the Warriors' 4-0 record against the Rockets this season.
When each general manager had finished, Tellem leapt out of his chair.
"Russ Westbrook is better than both of them!" Tellem shouted. "Who would you pay to see?"
Westbrook, of course, is represented by Tellem.

Breaking the Fast with Food Network
by Food Network Kitchen in View All Posts, October 10th, 2008Food Network's Executive Chef Rob Bleifer serving up shrimp and grits at Chelsea Market After Dark kickoff event.
Breaking fast is a tradition after fasting for the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur. It consists of a light meal of bagels, spreads and smoked fish.
Well, last night I changed it up. The first ever Food Network New York City Wine and Food Festival kicked off last night, and what a kickoff it was. It started at 7pm sharp up in the Food Network studios with a VIP party. Everywhere you looked there were Food Network faces, the Neelys, Nigella, Anne Burrell, it goes on and on.
Let's get to the food: didn't see any bagels or spreads around the room. What I did see was amazing food that the Food Network Kitchens put out. Upside down lobster pot pie, mouthwatering pate, falafel bites, crusted lamb with fig mostarda, and house-cured smoked salmon (OK, so there was some smoked fish). The night continued downstairs with Chelsea Market After Dark, where we put out some shrimp and grits and tender duck confit.
The festival continues all weekend and it's going to rock. Anyone going to the festival? Let us know what you thought. I have to say, it was definitely a good way to break the fast.
Dave Mechlowicz, Culinary Purchasing Manager

Regardless of the outcome of the presidency, Christians are obliged to obey God by respecting government authority—the law and national and local leaders. Two of the apostles made this point in their letters.
"Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities," wrote the apostle Paul. "For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God" (Romans:13:1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.). This includes the payment of taxes and other obligations (Romans:13:2-7 [2] Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
[3] For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
[4] For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
[5] Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
[6] For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
[7] Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
). Remember that the Roman government of the time had its own problems with corruption and abuse of power. But such behavior does not give people an excuse to disobey the law or disrespect the authority of their leaders.
Peter gave his readers the same instruction: "Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors ..." (1 Peter:2:13-14 [13] Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
[14] Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
). We are also to "honor the king" or chief ruler (verse 17). Paul echoes Peter's instruction to Titus: "Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready to every good work, to speak evil of no one ..." (Titus:3:1-2 [1] Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
[2] To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
). Elsewhere Paul exhorts us pray "for kings and all who are in authority" (1 Timothy:2:1-2 [1] I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
[2] For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
All this does not mean that we are to disobey God in situations where the law of man may conflict with the law of God (Acts:4:18-20 [18] And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
[19] But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
[20] For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
; Acts:5:40And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.), but even then Christians are to continue to respect government authority—even when those in positions of authority have abused their offices.
Nobody has commented yet. Be the first to kick off the discussion!

With the Federal Reserve monetizing debt at a rate of $200 billion per month last year, there really isn't anything that the Chinese can do about disfunctional US monetary and budget policies. But the China PBoC has been reducing its level of US Treasury bond purchases and diversifying into other asset classes. For instance, the China PBoC holdings of Gold have doubled in the past 5 years. Billions of dollars will also be allocated for the purchase of oil for a strategic energy reserve. The Chinese have been using their surplus of dollars to purchase whatever hard assets they can buy around the world. With the Federal Reserve printing fiat dollars as if there were no tommorrow, everyone in the world is well aware that the purchasing power value of the US Dollar will eventually collapse.
"Getting the Chinese to revalue (or float) their currency is probably critical to the U.S. achieving Obama's ambitious SOTU goal of doubling U.S. exports in the next five years". - WSJ
Yes. And winning the lottery is critical to my ambitious goal of retiring next year.
What can the US sell them. Let's see, we have overcapacity to supply CDOs and Tyvek houses in remote desert areas. I'm not sure anyone will buy the Tyvek houses, but if we can get them to buy the CDOs we can increase employment on Wall Street and also wipe out their dollar reserves six months down the road.
DJC, you're SO impatient! China's advantage of not having its global financial policy held hostage by 4/8 year election cycles is admittedly cool. Fortunately, presidents et al are just pass-through guests in Hotel Washington.
One man's (debt) ceiling is another man's (Obama's) floor.
China's silence on dollar value is reason for concern. Nothing have changed since Wen's statement, if anything it have gotten worse. Yet the Chinese government have stayed silent about Obama's 1.6 trill deficit budget, and planned trillion dollar deficit as far as the eye can see. Chinese government's silence means they have decided on a course of action to limited their exposure to the dollar, they are done talking.
China's investments in U.S. Treasuries would de-valued if Washington's wishes come true.
If China lets it yuan float at the financial markets whim, and...
If the U.S dollar falls, then..
China investment of one trillion U.S. dollars will be devalued to an extreme level.
This is all negative, negative, negative, for China but a big Win, Win, Win for the U.S.
China is not stupid. Why would China allow their savings in U.S. Treasuries to be devalued???
China should, over time, dump their Treasuries and just buy commodities like gold, copper, etc and use the money to develop mines and infrastructure at home.
There is a finger trap people in the U.S. call "Chinese". You put your fingers in and the harder you pull the harder it is to get them out. The U.S. dollar and the relationship between U.S. and China is this way. The harder these two nations pull against each other the worse off both of them will be. There is a similar situation in history between the U.S. and U.K. after World War I. U.K. owed the U.S. vast sums of money which ultimately they couldn't repay. The currency imbalance strained resources throughout Europe. In the end the U.S. ended up forgiving much of that debt, because it could never be repaid and ultimately the currency reserve imbalance hurt both countries and the world--a significant cause of the great global depression--once the currency imbalance was restored and trade between both countries moved smoothly again. Ultimately the U.S. currency will have to float against the yuan. Domestic credit expansion will not sustain China forever. If parity does not occur a domestic bubble will happen (as it presumably already is) and it will burst. If it does dramatically it will take all of China with it. If the currencies are allowed to reach parity at a gradual rate China will ultimately win more than the U.S. as it will eventually (if it enacts appropriate currency policies) begin to be useful as one of a basket of currencies which can be used as a reserve currency.
At present, without free trade of currency across borders, the Chinese currency is only good in China and this currency policy only serves to isolate China from the rest of the world financially. It also limits China's ability to finance global business without reliance on the dollar, which is the source of Chinese woes to begin with. It will be forever beholden to the dollar if it doesn't change its policies now before its too late. Ultimately it can do so gradually (where it wins with the U.S. in trade) or it can choose a dramatic change where it will isolate itself and then have its entire economy collapse as the dollar is revalued rapidly against all currencies in a global financial meltdown where the U.S. will ultimately be the winners.
I don't think most Americans are able to comprehend that for China to lose its trillion dollar USD savings, the US economy need to completely collapse first.
Its like planing a bomb inside your own house and only thinking about how blowing it up might damage your neighbor's house.
They might suffer damages, but you will be dead.
Follow the money. If the Chinese take a 6 month sabbatical from our Treasury auctions, interest rates will need to go through the roof to attract money to finance our colossal deficits. Obama will end up falling in line to Chinese wishes and kiss their a$$es so he can finance his extreme left-wing agenda.
New rules on labor negotiations in southern China offer a potential solution to the country's growing problem with labor unrest while at the same time illustrating the difficulty the Communist Party faces in effectively addressing workers' grievances.
As Chinese society has grown more complex, the Communist Party's estimation of the annual Spring Festival TV gala as a means of communicating with the masses has increased.
President Xi Jinping's recent rhetoric on ruling the country according to law has cast a new shadow over legal reform in China.
A clampdown on "Western ideas" in Chinese classrooms isn't just about controlling society. It has another dimension, involving Xi's relationship with the conservative left in the Communist party.
For much of the last half-century, changing China through economic reform seemed to make far better sense than transforming the country through political revolution. Xi Jinping is trying to flip that on its head.

We live in a time of tremendous religious awareness, when both believers and non-believers are deeply engaged by questions of religion and tradition. This ambitious book ranges back to the origins of the Hebrew Bible and covers the world, following the three main strands of the Christian faith, to teach modern readers how Jesus' message spread and how the New Testament was formed. We follow the Christian story to all corners of the globe, filling in often neglected accounts of conversions and confrontations in Africa and Asia. And we discover the roots of the faith that galvanized America, charting the rise of the evangelical movement from its origins in Germany and England. We meet monks and crusaders, heretics and saints, slave traders and abolitionists, and discover Christianity's essential role in driving the Enlightenment and the Age of Exploration, and shaping the course of World Wars I and II.

I am a professional living in Dublin with my wife and 4 young children. I have several accommodations with good number of rooms. I love to host people from all over the world.
Fakir has completed online and offline ID verification.
El departamento de Fakir es una residencia estudiantil, esta cerca del aeropuerto pero no se conecta al mismo por transporte publico lo que te deja como unica opcion el taxi, Por lo demas es un buen lugar y no tenemos grandes quejas.
I really appreciated the warm welcome given to me at my arrival from Mr. Hossain's collaborators, the apartment was beautiful and new and the place was quite good (even if a little bit far from the centre of the city). Recommended! Lorenzo
Everything was OK, Mr. Fakir Hossein was kind. We have to mention Mr. Graiden: he was also helpful and kind and we have thank him everything. The apartment was clean and comfortable, near to the supermarket and the bus stop.
It was a very clean, spacious place. Friendly host, hard to reach initially over the phone, but all went ok on the evening of arrival.
Good location for getting to the airport next morning if you have a car. The rooms are set up more to rent to college students longer term. The room and bath were comfortable but sparsely furnished. There were no towels provided, but since we were leaving early next morning to fly home, it wasn't too big a deal. We emailed our approximate arrival time, but the woman who answered the door didn't speak English and did not seem to be expecting us. Thankfully, there was a young woman cleaning next door who, though she seemed surprised to see us, was able to show us to our room. We never saw or met Fakir.
We were a family of 3 persons 2 . Fakir gave us a private room with private bath. The residence is a very good place for students and for those who wants to communicate in English with young people from other countries. Of course there is no limit to perfection. This residence, you need a higher order. Unfortunately, students and guests from Africa is not always clean. And not always clean up after themselves in the kitchen. Given that you can cook yourself living in a Fakir is very cheap. Everyone who visits this residence is necessary to remember, that in no event cannot be left unattended money, documents, alcohol and expensive things because a lot of the visitors from poor families from Africa and Latin America.
Oh where to begin... The room was COMPLETELY bare aside from two small beds with sheets and blankets. There was one lightbulb hanging from the ceiling without a lampshade. There was one window on the roof with a brown paper bag taped on the glass to block out some of the sun (no curtain or real shade), which failed miserably. There are at least 10-15 people in about 5 rooms sharing two showers. "Breakfast" is pathetic. And there was no host or hostess to answer any of our questions. Any hostel is much better and cheaper than this place.
The original place I was supposed to stay in was full so I had to stay in the managers apartment with his family. It was a bit unorthodox but as I was travelling by myself it was fine. The room was clean and had a bathroom attached. It would've helped had there been towels though. Breakfast was good and more than enough. The place is easy to get to and there is a small supermarket nearby if needed. The family I was staying with were very kind and accommodating. Many thanks.
Nice welcome from Fakir and place. Even if it's not closed from city center, it's a place enjoyable to live a couple of days.
Very good and nice and cheap place to stay. Friendly and helpful host and people around. The rooms clean however having only basic furniture - beds and wardrobe (no chairs). No electric outlets in the bathrooms. A bit far from the town center but with good bus connection. They serve breakfasts - breakfast cereal, tosts, butter, milk, coffee. Taxi from the airport - around 16 Euro. Our taxi driver had problems with finding the exact address.

- Q4 sales fall 1%
- Like-for-like sales down 3.1%
- Clothing and GM performing well
Sainsbury said its general merchandise and clothing business continues to perform well |
UK retail group Sainsbury's has ended its nine-year run of sales growth with a decline in fourth-quarter revenues, but says its clothing business continues to perform well.
In the 10 weeks ended 15 March, sales were down 1%, while like-for-like sales fell 3.1%, both excluding fuel. The retailer blamed a fall in food prices, the later timing of Easter and unseasonable weather. Its prior year quarter also benefited from the discovery of horsemeat in its competitors' products.
Prior to this quarter, Sainsbury's had reported 36 consecutive quarters of like-for-like sales growth.
Nonetheless, the group said its general merchandise and clothing business continues to perform well, with particularly strong growth in menswear of over 23% year-on-year.
During the quarter Sainsbury announced the renewal of its collaboration with designer Gok Wan for a further 12 collections, in addition to releasing the eleventh collection of his ladies' wear.
The retailer has introduced its new general merchandise and clothing format into 53 stores, and has a further 26 planned for the first quarter.
"Although some economic indicators are showing an improvement in the health of the economy, we expect the outlook for customers to continue to be challenging for the coming year," said chief executive Justin King.
"We remain confident that our differentiated offer, supported by 'value for values', Nectar data and Brand Match, will allow us to outperform our peers in the year ahead."

Stock Market News for April 5, 2013 - Market News
Benchmarks finished in the green despite weak domestic reports
after the Bank of Japan announced aggressive policies to improve
the health of its economy. The Street received back-to-back
discouraging reports on the job market. Following a disappointing
report on private sector hiring, initial claims unexpectedly
increased in the previous week. This further dampened investor
sentiment and limited yesterday's gains. Now investors will
closely watch nonfarm payroll numbers which is scheduled for
release on Friday. The utilities sector was the biggest gainer
among the S&P 500 industry groups whereas the energy sector
was the only
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained 0.4% to close the
day at 14,606.11. The S&P 500 added 0.4% to finish
yesterday's trading session at 1,559.98. The tech-laden Nasdaq
Composite Index inched up 0.2% to end at 3,224.98. The fear-gauge
CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) declined 2.3% to settle at 13.89.
Consolidated volumes on the New York Stock Exchange, American
Stock Exchange and Nasdaq were roughly 6 billion shares, lower
than 2012's daily average of 6.45 billion shares. Advancing
stocks outnumbered the decliners. For the 60% that advanced, 36%
Encouraging news from Japan acted as a catalyst yesterday and
overshadowed disappointing reports on the home front. The Bank of
Japan took encouraging steps to stimulate growth and battle
deflation. Bank of Japan wants to lift inflation to 2% in around
two years and increase consumer and business spending. To achieve
a inflation rate of 2% the bank has taken certain steps. It will
increase purchase of Japanese government bonds at an annual rate
of "about 50 trillion yen".
The Bank will also increase purchase of exchange-traded funds and
real-estate investment trusts. Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko
Kuroda said: "The previous approach of incremental easing wasn't
enough to pull Japan out of deflation and achieve 2 percent
inflation in two years."
On the domestic front, the U.S. Department of Labor reported
initial claims numbers yesterday. According to the report,
initial claims increased by 28,000 from the previous week's
unrevised figure of 357,000 to 385,000. This was above the
consensus estimate of 349,000. The four week moving average also
moved up to 354,250 from prior week's unrevised figure of
343,000. This development comes a day after a discouraging report
on private sector hiring which revealed that hiring was at its
slowest in five months in March.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank (ECB) kept its policy rate
unchanged at 0.75%. The ECB has kept its policy rate unchanged
for the ninth month in a row. ECB president Mario Draghi
said rate cuts in the future may happen if the growth of Euro
Zone's economy fails to pick up. He also said: "We will assess
all incoming information in the coming weeks and we stand ready
to act."
Nine out of the ten sectors in the S&P 500 industry groups
finished in the green. The utilities sector was the biggest
gainer and the Utilities SPDR (XLU) gained 1.0%. Stocks such as
Duke Energy Corp (NYSE:
), The Southern Company (NYSE:
), Dominion Resources, Inc. (NYSE:
), NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:
) and Exelon Corporation (NYSE:
) increased 0.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.2% and 0.6%, respectively.
The energy sector was the lone loser among the S&P 500
industry groups and the Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE) lost
0.1%. Stocks such as Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:
), Hess Corp. (NYSE:
), Petroleo Brasileiro Petrobras SA (NYSE:

Zynga Buys NaturalMotion For $527M, Beats on Earnings
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Social gaming company Zynga (ZNGA - Get Report) announced Thursday a $527 million cash and equity acquisition of privately-held, UK-based mobile game developer NaturalMotion, in an effort to accelerate the company's mobile growth.
The San Francisco-based firm also said that it's implementing a cost cutting plan that will include a 15% workforce reduction of about 314 employees and lowering its spending on datacenter infrastructure. Zynga estimates that its cost reduction strategy will lead to pre-tax savings of $33 million to $35 million in 2014.
For the fourth quarter, Zynga reported a net loss of $25 million, down from the loss of $49 million in the year-ago period, but up from the third-quarter net loss of $68,000. The company lost 3 cents on a per share basis, topping estimates by a penny.
Bookings came in at $147 million, a decrease of 44%, but still beating estimates by $6 million.
Daily active users (DAUs) came in at 27 million, down from 56 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. DAUs were down 12% sequentially. Zynga is upbeat on 2014 bookings, expecting $760 million to $810 million in bookings versus the Wall Street target of $629 million. However, the midpoint of the $138 million to $148 million bookings range falls short of the average analyst estimate of $146 million.Shares were surging nearly 20% to $4.28 in after-hours trading. -- Written by Andrea Tse in New York.

SoundDock Portable Digital Music System
I love my Bose SoundDock but I'm really liking this new portable version, which is lighter and has a retractable base for the ipod. This would make it even easier to take the music where the party is.
A fun product to have sitting around the house, and is sure to be the center of attention for many conversations.
Added 4 Years Ago from Gift-ideaz -
I love when designers mix old with new and they hit it spot on with this iphone/ipod charging dock. hella rad, IMO.
Added 5 Years Ago from Etsy -
A great dock especially if you like to plug your iphone into a speaker system or your TV. Includes a remote to change tracks or increase volume!

A Corporation engineer who was allegedly beaten up by a councillor last Tuesday has withdrawn his complaint.
The Chennai Corporation's executive engineer, L. Kannan of Tiruvottiyur zone, was allegedly beaten up by councillor Suriya Babu of ward 10 on Tuesday. The councillor was angry because the engineer said he needed more time to send an earth mover to Babu's ward to clear debris.
The councillor allegedly entered Kannan's office and assaulted him. He has reportedly been advised by Mayor Saidai S. Duraisamy to refrain from such behaviour in the future.

Updated Note: I want to do a new route for us this week. We'll do a loop that includes Montgomery Canyon. This is a 6.2 mile loop hike (no steps are retraced) with 1660' of elevation, so it's a hefty climb broken up into 3 main segments with some bumps in between. This strong intermediate hike will take us a good 3 hours, most likely, and the views are great, so bring your camera! I did this very hike tonight after work (Monday) and measured the stats that you see above. -Kurt
This hike occurs in two different locations. Remember this rule: EVEN numbered days will be at Mt McCoy (beginner hikes) and ODD numbered days at the Long Canyon (Wood Ranch) Trailhead (intermediate hikes), both locations in Simi Valley.
Mt McCoy location on even numbered days: This link will show you the meeting location for the Mt McCoy hike: CLICK FOR MCCOY. We meet at the parking lot to the right of Donut Delite and walk from there to the trailhead which affords limited parking. This Mt McCoy event is actually a weekly hike sponsored by a hiking club I belong to, the Rancho Simi Trail Blazers (RSTB), who have given me permission to cross-post it here since many of our members live nearby. RSTB has created their own Meetup, which you can see/join by clicking here. I have been a member of the RSTB for a few years now.
Distance: 3.2 Miles
Elevation Gain: 500'
Difficulty: Beginner
Time: 6:00 p.m. (approx 1.5 hours in duration)
Leashed dogs are allowed.
The Rancho Simi Trail Blazers hike Mt McCoy every Tuesday evening year round, and while not difficult, still provides a hike that is satisfying to the legs as well as the eyes. This accessible location is on the west side of Simi Valley, a very short drive from the 118.
You may read a very interesting description and history of Mt McCoy by clicking here, but from the top of McCoy you will have a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of Simi Valley, Moorpark, the Simi Hills, the Santa Susana Mountains, the Santa Monica Mountains, and on a clear day, the Channel Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
As an official event of the RSTB, you will be asked to sign the standard Park District "hold harmless" agreement.
While I will often be found in attendance (as this hike is very close to where I live), it's not my hike. The leader will generally be Mike Kuhn (known to many as a human encyclopedia of local flora, fauna, geology and history) or one of the other sanctioned RSTB hiking leaders.
In the winter months you will need to bring a flashlight.
The Long Canyon Trailhead on Odd-Numbered days:
Here is a link to the location: CLICK ME To get there, just drive to where Wood Ranch Pkwy and First Street intersect in Simi Valley. The free, paved parking lot is right there, up a short entrance.
This location is where I discovered hiking, quite by accident, and I have been addicted to it ever since. The trailhead links us into a large network of trails from which we can do various different hikes, and we will generally rotate among 4 alternatives when we hike here. The short one is about 3.5 miles, the medium one about 4.4 and there are two longer ones about 5.5 or so. All are beautiful, and all involve hiking on fire roads and single-track trails. The easiest hike in my opinion is the 4.4 mile one just because of the relative steepness of some of the sections on the shorter 3.5 miler. All 4 of these hikes fall into our intermediate category, as defined below.
In the winter months you will need to bring a flashlight.
Our categories for hike difficulty:
Beginner: No steep sections. Up to 4 miles in distance and no more than 750' elevation gain.
Intermediate: 4-10 miles, and/or up to 2000' elevation gain.
Advanced: More than 10 miles, and/or more than 2000' elevation gain.
Here are some pictures I have taken from Mt McCoy, beginning with a shot of the real McCoy:
Mt McCoy is distinguished by the huge concrete cross at the top. (See the history link above to learn about this. It has been there since the early recorded history of this area.)
Looking north to the Santa Susana mountains:
This was a PM Hikers daytime event in 2012:
The next one predates the PM Hikers, when I led weekly Wednesday night hikes here for another meetup group:
The most amazing sunset of my life was on Mt McCoy:
Really fun group of people tonight! I was amazed at how closely we all stayed together. Did anyone get pics of that sunset? I didn't take any pictures at all, but I hope some of you did (and post them)!
June 17
As a reminder we are at the Long Cyn location tonight doing a strong INTERMEDIATE hike. If you are looking for a beginner hike you can still go to the Mt McCoy location to hike with the trailblazers.
June 17
I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.

PS 194, the Countee Cullen School, is nestled in the heart of Harlem in Community School District Five, one of the poorer districts in New York City. On a Tuesday evening a few weeks ago, it was the scene of a tense hearing. The full school auditorium was fiercely divided into two camps — on the one side, parents of PS 194 students fighting to keep their neighborhood school open, and on the other side, Eva Moskowitz and her supporters demanding that the entire building be turned over to her Harlem Success Academies.
Behind that conflict was the New York City Department of Education — and not just because it was the DOE which was planning to replace PS 194 entirely with one of Moskowitz's schools. There is a long and sordid record of DOE neglect and underfunding of PS 194 — it had one of the largest class sizes in CSD 5 and on average 7 more students per class than Moskowitz's schools — and of the imposition of a series of ineffectual principals — five over the last five years. Yet despite all that, PS 194 was a school that had met its Annual Yearly Progress Benchmarks under No Child Left Behind and was in good standing with the New York State Education Department until last school year. And still the DOE has decided to close it down based solely on the school's failing grade on the city's School Progress Reports. One can not help but wonder if that is a decision being made not on academic merit, but out of a desire to create new space for the schools of a politically powerful former city councilwoman.
On Tuesday of this week, parents of students from PS 194, together with parents of students from two other New York City public schools — PS 241 in Harlem and PS 150 in Ocean Hill-Brownsville — joined representatives of the Community Education Councils for those schools, the New York Civil Liberties Union and the UFT in filing suit against the Department of Education over its plans to close all three schools and replace them entirely with charter schools. The law suit charges that by closing these three schools and not replacing them with new district schools, the DOE is illegally eliminating the school attendance zone for the three schools. All zoning changes must, by statute, go through the Community Education Councils for the district.
PS 194, PS 241 and PS 150 have a few things in common. First, they serve a significantly poorer student body than the rest of their district and the city as a whole — one of the schools, PS 150, has 97% of its students receiving free lunches. Second, they have significant numbers of English Language Learners in their student population — one of the schools has as many as 1 in 5 students in that category. And lastly, two of the three schools —PS 150 as well as PS 194 — were meeting their Annual Yearly Benchmarks under No Child Left and were in good standing with the State Education Department through 07-08. The third school — PS 241 — went from a 'B' on its NYC School Progress Report last year to a 'D' this year, meaning that the decision to close it was based on a single year's drop in test scores.
These schools and their neighborhoods need additional supports and resources, not the abolition of the neighborhood school.
And how do these schools compare to the charter schools which will replace them? We compare them in the chart below. For the school year 2006-2007 [the latest period for which there is published data], the two charter school brands slated to occupy these buildings ran 4 schools serving 584 students. Only 52% of their students received free lunches; they had enrolled NO English Language Learners; and they had an average class size of 24 students. The three neighborhood schools slated for closure served 1290 students. 84% of those students received free lunch and 11% were English Language Learners. The average class size in the neighborhood schools was over 25.
Who will now serve the students of PS 194, PS 241 and PS 150?
Institution | Enrollment | Average Class Size | Free Or Reduced Lunch | English Language Learner |
Excellence Charter School Of Bedford-Stuyvesant | 173 | 20 | 34% | 0% |
Harlem Success Academy Charter School | 156 | 24 | 65% | 0% |
Leadership Preparatory Charter School | 116 | 29 | 49% | 0% |
Williamsburg Collegiate Charter School | 139 | 63% | 0% | |
Closing Schools Average/Totals | 1290 | 25.33 | 81% | 11% |
Brands Moving in Averages/Totals | 584 | 24.33 | 52% | 0% |
Difference | 706 | 1 | 29% | 11% |
Data is from the NYS 2006-2007 report cards, the most recently published.

The House of Mirth
Analysis: Writing Style
Wharton's prose is as proper and intricately gilded as the furniture in the Trenors' drawing room. In the Victorian era, everything from cleavage to ankles to furniture legs were hidden, and, similarly, the much of the action in House of Mirth (revenge, sex, seduction, lust) is hidden in sub-text. When Trenor propositions Lily, all he actually says is, "The man who pays for dinner is generally allowed a seat at the table."
Wharton also has a knack for saying a lot with a little. Try to re-word some of her more incisive one-liners and you'll find yourself buried in a paragraph of dull text. For example:
If [Judy] was careless of [her husband's] affections, she was plainly jealous of his pocket. (2.4.43)
Basically, this is really good writing.

Black Poison Blood LyricsArtist: Kill HannahAlbum: Until There's Nothing Left Of Us in photos we were smiling But something was wrong in you, Oh Inside you were suffering lungs were barely moving I wanted to comfort you Oh no.. Oh you'll fix all my cracked broken bones! And replace all my black poison blood! She murdered me with a smile, Strangled me with her eyes. I'm poisoned as she passes by, oh. The buildings around me shake, Like cheap plastic wedding cakes. I fell to the ground with you oh no She said..."shhhhh" Oh you'll fix all my cracked broken bones! And replace all my Black Poison Blood! POISON BLOOD! BLACK POISON BLOOD

This item may be Check for Availability This title in other editionsIcon of Evil: Hitler's Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islamby David G. Dalin
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A chilling, fascinating, and nearly forgotten historical figure is resurrected in a riveting work that links the fascism of the last century with the terrorism of our own. Written with verve and extraordinary access to primary sources in several languages, Icon of Evil is the definitive account of the man who during World War II was called "the führer of the Arab world" and whose ugly legacy lives on today.
In 1921, the beneficiary of an appointment the British would live to regret, Haj Amin al-Husseini became the mufti of Jerusalem, the most eminent and influential Islamic leader in the Middle East. For years, al-Husseini fomented violence in the region against the Jews he loathed and wished to destroy. Forced out in 1937, he eventually found his way to the country whose legions he desperately wished to join: Nazi Germany. Here, with new and disturbing details, David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann show how al-Husseini ingratiated himself with his hero, Adolf Hitler, becoming, with his blonde hair and blue eyes, an "honorary Aryan," while dreaming of being installed Nazi leader of the Middle East. Al-Husseini would later recruit more than 100,000 Muslims in Europe to fight in divisions of the Waffen-SS, and obstruct negotiations with the Allies that might have allowed four thousand Jewish children to escape to Palestine. Some believe that al-Husseini even inspired Hitler to implement the Final Solution. At war's end, al-Husseini escaped indictment at Nuremberg and was harbored in France before being given a hero's welcome in Egypt. Icon of Evil chronicles al-Husseini's postwar relationships with such influential Islamic figures as the radical theoretician Sayyid Qutb and Saddam Hussein's powerful uncle, General Khairallah Talfah, and his crucial mentoring of the young Yasser Arafat. Finally, it provides compelling evidence that al-Husseini's actions and writings serve as inspirations today to the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations pledged to destroy Israel and the United States. Revelatory and unsettling, Icon of Evil reveals an essential character in the worst crimes of the modern era. It is an important addition to our understanding of the past, present, and future of radical Islam. Synopsis:Exposing the link between the fascism of the past and twenty-first-century radical Islam, a detailed portrait of Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the spiritual and political leader of the Palestinian Arabs from the 1920s, describes his alliance with Hitler, his advocacy of the Final Solution, and his fomenting of Nazi-style anti-Semitic propaganda throughout the Islamic world. 30,000 first printing.
About the AuthorDavid G. Dalin is the Taube Research Fellow in American History at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He is the author, co-author, or editor of nine books, including Religion and State in the American Jewish Experience (with Jonathan D. Sarna), The Presidents of the United States and the Jews, and The Myth of Hitler's Pope. His numerous articles and book reviews have appeared in American Jewish History, Commentary, First Things, The Weekly Standard, and the American Jewish Year Book.
John F. Rothmann serves on the faculty of the Fromm Institute at the University of San Francisco. He is an author, teacher, archivist, political consultant, and talk show host on the ABC-affiliated KGO 810-AM Newstalk Radio in San Francisco. He has lectured on American politics and the presidency and the Middle East throughout the United States, Canada, and Israel.

New Zealand v Argentina - Live
full-time New Zealand 33 Argentina 10
80 The match comes to an end when an Argentininan attack is halted when they run into touch. The All Blacks are through to ther semi-final, where they will meet Australia. Credit must go to Argentina who frustrated New Zealand for large periods of this match. However, in the end, the hosts' class came through and they secured the win after dominating for large parts of the second half.
78 CONVERSION, NEW ZEALAND, CRUDEN! 33-10. Aaron Cruden takes over the goalkicking duties and makes no mistake with his first attempt.
77 TRY, NEW ZEALAND, THORN! 31-10. Big Brad Thorn rounds off a good move iniated by Cory Jane. The right wing goes on a run down the touchline and despite being pushed into touch he gets his pass away to Read who offloads to Thorn.
74 The All Blacks rring the changes and pull off McCaw and Weepu, who are replaced by Victor Vito and Jimmy Cowan. Shorlty afterwards, Owen Franks is also replaced by John Afoa.
73 PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, WEEPU! 26-10. Piri Weepu slots another penalty after Argentina infringe at a ruck midway between their 22 metre line and the halfway mark.
70 Argentina's hoooker Mario Ledesma is replaced by Agust�n Creevy. It's an emotional moment for the veteran hooker as this is probably his last match for the Pumas.
68 TRY, NEW ZEALAND, READ! 23-10. Kieran Read dives in five metres in from the left-hand corner after running on to a pass from Jerome Kaino close to the Pumas' tryline. Weepu fails to convert and that is the scrum-half's first miss of the match.
66 The All Blacks take off Mealamu and bring on Andrew Hore. The hooker is immediately into action when he throws the ball in at a lineout.
63 From the resulting scrum, the All Blacks absolutely annihilate the Pumas at the set-piece! The back pedalling Pumas scrum disintegrates but Leguizam�n does well when he consolidates by picking up the loose ball.
63 Cruden gets the ball from McCaw and makes a break inside the Pumas' quarter. He is tackled and as he goes to ground he loses the ball forward.
59 PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, WEEPU! 18-10. Weepu maintains his 100 percent goalkicking record as he slots an easy three-pointer from in front of the posts!
58 YELLOW CARD, ARGENTINA, VERGALLO. Nicol�s Vergallo is sent to the sin bin for not releasing the tackled player on the ground. This after New Zealand are camped close to Argentina's tryline. The referee also ask the teelvision match official to rule on an effort by McCaw but the try is not given as the All Blacks captain was held up over the tryline.
55 The All Blacks go on the attack and are soon inside the Pumas' 22! Weepu puts a cross kick in for Cruden, who gathers and tries to dot down. He catches the ball in the air and as he comes down, he crashes into the corner flag!
52 Sonny Bill Williams gets a pass from Richie McCaw and he goes through a gap. He offloads to Nonu but the ball goes to ground and argentina gain a reprieve.
49 PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, WEEPU! 15-10. Piri Weepu succeeds with his fifth kick of the nigh after Argentina are penalised for slowing the ball down at a ruck.
46 PENALTY, ARGENTINA, BOSCH! 12-10. Marcelo Bosch slots a monster kick from the halfway line after the All Blacks' backs are penalised for obstructive running!
44 Keven Mealamu is penalised when he plays the ball on the ground inside Argentina's half. The Pumas opt to kick for touch.
40 The All Blacks have made one change to their line-up as Muliaina is replaced by Isaia Toeava.
40 Piri Weepu gets the second half started. Argentina collect and get a driving maul going. Juan Manuel Leguizam�n breaks aaway and is topped close to New Zealand's 22 metre line. He is soon penalised for holding on to the ball on the ground.
Half-time New Zealand 12 Argentina 7
40 Argentina's veteran prop Rodrigo Roncero is replaced by Marcos Ayerza and shorlty afterwards the referee blows the whistle to signal the end of the half. It's not been easy for the hosts. Argentina has played with a lot of passion and defended well. They have also scored the only try of the half, a feat which very few teams can say they have achieved against the All Blacks. If they can replicate this during the second half, things could get interesting.
39 PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, WEEPU. 12-7. Piri Weepu gets another penalty for his side after the Pumas infringe at a ruck.
36 PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, WEEPU! 9-7. Piri Weepu slots another penalty after Contepomi is penalised for a high tackle on Cruden.

32 CONVERSION, ARGENTINA, CONTEPOMI! 6-7. Felipe Contepomi slots adifficlut conversion from the touchline to give his side the lead!
31 TRY, ARGENTINA, CABELLO! 6-5. Julio Farias Cabello scores in the left-hand corner after Leonardo Senatore goes on a bullocking run from a scrum just inside New Zealand's half. He passes to Mart�n Rodr�guez, who is stopped just short of the line and at the rsulting ruck, Cabello dives over!
28 Felipe Contepomi misses with Argentina's first attempt at goal from 40 metres, after Sam whitelock is penalised for an infringement at a line-out.
25 PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, WEEPU! 6-0. Piri Weepu slots another three-pointer after Argentina infringe at a scrum close to their tryline.
22 Weepu puts in a cross kick to Cory Jane! The wing gathers and puts a deft chip kick over Horacio Agulla's head for Mils Muliaina to chase. However, Vergallo does well when he comes across and collects the ball close to the tryline before Muliaina can get to it!
19 Kieran Read gets in at the corner flag but his effort is disallowed when the television match official rules that he had a foot in touch.
15 New Zealand are awarded a penalty just inside their half when Leonardo Senatore holds on to the ball on the ground at a ruck.
13 PENALTY, NEW ZEALAND, WEEPU! 3-0. Piri Weepu puts the All Blacks into the lead after Argentina's forwards are penalised for being in front of the kicker, after Nicol�s Vergallo launches a bomb just outside his quarter.
10 Santiago Fern�ndez tries a drop-goal but his attempt is unsuccessful as it goes under the crossbar!
7 Colin Slade commits a handling error close to the halfway line and one of the Argentinans kicks the ball ahead! Conrad Smith saves the day when he dives on to the loose ball close to New Zealand's posts. The ball is recycled and kicked into touch. It's a nervy start by the home side's pivot!
5 Marcelo Bosch is put under huge pressure by Kaino close to the halfway line. The ball is recycled and is spread wide to Horacio Agulla. There is little he can do and is soon tackled into touch by Ma'a Nonu.
4 The Pumas are awarded a penalty inside their 22 when the All Blacks wheel a scrum illegally.
2 Sonny Bill Williams goes on a run from inside his half and close to the halfway line he offloads to Cory Jane who beats a couple of defenders. At the resulting ruck the All Blacks knock on though and the Pumas are awarded a scrum on their 22.
Kick-off Felipe Contepomi gets the game underway! Jerome Kaino gathers and takes the ball into contact. It soon comes back to Colin Slade, who launches a high kick.
Haka After the anthems Piri Weepu leads the All Blacks during a stirring version of the Kapa o Pango haka! The Pumas stare them down and both sides are now ready for action.

Intel reportedly expects shipments of 20-30M ultrabooks in 2012
A new report claims Intel has set internal estimates of between 20 to 30 million ultrabook units this year.According to DigiTimes, sources from the upstream supply chain have revealed the chipmaker's plans. Intel also reportedly expects ultrabook shipments to jump up by "double or even triple" in 2013.
The report noted that the second generation of ultrabook will launch "after May 2012" and combination tablet/ultrabooks will arrive in the fourth quarter alongside the release of Microsoft's Windows 8.
Intel is also said to be looking into technologies that could help spur ultrabook adoption. Reinforced plastic chassis and ultra-thin optical disk drives were specifically mentioned by the report as components that the company is cooperating with upstream makers on.
CEO Paul Otellini revealed on an earnings call earlier this week that the next generation of processors bound for "mainstream notebooks" won't arrive until the second launch of its Ivy Bridge architecture, as the "bulk" of the chips from the first wave will go toward desktop computers. Intel is expected to formally launch Ivy Bridge next week.
Intel put forth the ultrabook design specification last May as an alternative to the MacBook Air and iPad. For its part, the Mac maker is expected to release a thinner and light design of its 15-inch MacBook Pro within weeks that could threaten sales of high-end ultrabooks.
The initial target for ultrabook sales was for the category to reach a 40 percent share of the consumer laptop market by the end of this year. However, at least one analyst believes ultrabook sales will not be "meaningful enough" to stimulate growth in the notebook market until 2013.
