Updated: Hall seizes on audits, calls Parker "oblivious"
"What Ms. Parker has been doing as Mayor is anyone's guess. Clearly efficient and prudent management of the taxpayer's money is not one of her concerns," said Hall press secretary Julia Smekalina. "These weekly audits beg the question, what else has Ms. Parker failed to do and how much of the city's revenues have been wasted?"

Continuing its monthly sponsorship of Bread & Broth's Adopt A Day of Nourishment, Heavenly Mountain Resort generously hosted the Monday evening dinners on Jan. 28 and Feb. 11. Tyler Morris, Heavenly's IT Manager and PC Techs David Erickson, Kevin Franzen, Aaron Uretsky and Brett Zingaro assisted the Bread & Broth volunteers in January. It was the first time that several of the Heavenly volunteer crew members had been involved with setting up and serving a hot, nutritious meal to more than 90 Bread & Broth guests and described their volunteering at the dinner to be a "very fulfilling experience."In February, Heavenly's volunteer crew was led by Jolena Hearn, a frequent Heavenly volunteer at B&B dinners. Jolena was joined by fellow volunteers Kavid Hellod, Sarah Lowman, Colton Terry and Kate Tretheway, who are members of Heavenly's Ski Patrol. After spending the evening giving out bags of locally donated food goods to Bread & Broth dinner guests, Kate spoke for her volunteer crew. "We are truly grateful to be able to participate in serving our community. A huge thank you to the staff who do this every Monday," she said.Bread & Broth owes a huge thank you to Heavenly Mountain Resort for its monthly donation of $250 to cover the costs needed to prepare each dinner they sponsor. In addition, Bread & Broth is very thankful for and appreciates all of Heavenly's employees who over the years have given their time and energy to assist with setup, serving and cleanup during Heavenly's sponsorship evenings.Carol GerardBread & Broth

I would like to generate a list of files within a directory. Some of the filenames contain Chinese characters.
eg: [试验].Test.txt
I am using the following code:
require 'find'
dirs = ["TestDir"]
for dir in dirs
Find.find(dir) do |path|
if FileTest.directory?(path)
p path
Running the script produces a list of files but the Chinese characters are escaped (replaced with backslashes followed by numbers). Using the example filename above would produce:
"TestDir/[\312\324\321\351]Test.txt" instead of "TestDir/[试验].Test.txt".
How can the script be altered to output the Chinese characters?

The English Girl
A Novel
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentThis was my first book by this author and I was completely smitten. A writer in the gender of Dan Brown, fast paced, good character development and respect for reader's intelligence to put some clues together, but still be amazed by the ending.
This latest Gabriel Allon thriller attempts to combine two very different stories that operate on two different scales and the result is disappointing.
The first half concerns the titular English Girl who is kidnapped and being held for ransom. Gabriel is, of course, the "only man in the world" for the job of rescuing her. The operational details of this first half are actually quite compelling, and the relationship between Allon and Keller is, at times, amusing.
The second half shifts scales to a geopolitical level. The relationship between the plot of the second half and the kidnapping of the first half relies on a highly implausible plot point that is largely hand-waved away. Furthermore, whereas Part 1 occurs over the course of a week, the story of Part 2 unfolds over the course of months but feels heavily compressed following the intricate day-by-day plotting of the first half. I found the shift both of scale and pace to be jarring. Finally, and most problematically, there is absolutely no real conflict in the Part 2 story. Still, even with these problems, The English Girl is a passable thriller and a generally enjoyable read.
A few additional comments:
* Silva often goes overboard with exposition, particularly in filling in the reader on Allon's background and history. At times, one almost expects characters to bring up specific Gabriel Allon novels when referring to past events. "Hey Gabriel: you remember how in 'Portrait of a Spy' you...."
* I wish the author would avoid modifiers like "famously" and "renowned," especially when referring to a supposedly successfully espionage agent. Just how effective can Allon be of he is so famous and renowned? Also, it feels a little too Dan Brown-ish for my tastes.
* There is an almost humorous degree of "Sovietizing" that goes on in Part 2 - making Russia seem as if it's essentially the same as before the collapse of the USSR. Allon's chief adversary is even referred to as "essentially the KGB." I know that all spy novelists mourn the death of the Cold War, but this is first post-1991 spy novel I've read that takes the opportunity to reconstruct things so completely in order to amp up the danger.
This is my second book by Silva and it proved to be just as good if not better than Fallen Angel. Loved the story lines, characters, and twists!
This is the first book that I have read from Daniel Silva, he is definately on my "to read" list! Excellent book, very well written. Definately a page turner.
This is the first Daniel Silva I have read and it won't be the last. I enjoyed his characters, the humour, the political commentary and the twists and turns in the story line.
I have read every one of Daniel Silva's books and I think this is one of the best - I loved the humour and banter between Gabriel and Christopher and somehow it seemed lighter than previous books, as if Silva has given himself permission to thoroughly enjoy the journey.. Loved the story and read in a few nights!

Paddington (Paddy) is a 5 year old male lab with more excitement than ability to brake or a sense of safety. The post mentioned is actually a metal pillar. Luckily he has had years of training running into/head-butting things. He is fine and not ashamed in the least.
Who ratted me out? Was it the cat? I bet it was the cat.
This is Shiner. He likes to knock over the trash.
This time, the trash can fought back!

A man walking in Discovery Park early this morning stumbled upon a dead body. From SPD's blotter:
Earlier- Homicide detectives are on scene of a suspicious death inside Discovery Park at this hour. At about 7:20 this morning, a man called 911 stating that he came across a body of a man inside the park around 7:00 am. After receiving the call, Seattle Fire and police responded to the park and met with the complainant who took first responders to the body location. Homicide detectives were called out and CSI and the Medical Examiner's Office is also responding. This remains an active and ong0ing investigation.
Investigators at the scene have now said that they believe the man took his own life. We will post more information as soon as it becomes available. Thanks to MV reader Bob for the tip!

What's the Latest?
Although Twitter is hailed as a democratic medium for the dissemination of marginalized political views, experts have found that it is mostly an echo chamber for the opinions expressed by elite television personalities. In a new report conducted at Cornell University called "Rising Tides or Rising Stars? Dynamics of Shared Attention on Twitter during Media Events," researchers found that "during live media events when the largest number of people are paying attention, people move away from this deliberative potential by replacing existing interpersonal social dynamics with increased collective attention to existing 'stars.'"
What's the Big Idea?
On the one hand, social scientists hypothesize that as breaking news occurs, and a wide range of often contradictory reports emerge, people look to the integrity of established news outlets to deliver accurate news. On the other hand, researchers were disappointed that the promises of social media are going unfulfilled. "Social media has so much potential to improve the diversity of voices and quality of exchanges in political discussion by giving individuals the technological capability to compete with the mass media in disseminating information, setting agendas and framing conversation."

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Lightning GM Shopping List & An Extension For Holland
by Paul on 04/28/10 at 09:02 PM ET
Comments (15)
from Darren Dreger of TSN,
Sources close to the Tampa Bay Lightning say Dave Nonis, Steve Yzerman and Doug Risebrough are believed to be high on new Lightning owner Jeff Vinik's short list of potential GMs.
Sources say the Red Wings have granted permission for Tampa Bay to speak with Yzerman, currently a vice president in Detroit.
Yzerman won't comment on the possibility, although his interest in making the move now may be amplified by the fact Detroit will soon announce Ken Holland's contract extension as executive vice president and general manager.

Yzerman would be great! If he doesn't want it, Risebrough would be good as well. I wouldn't mind see John Stevens or Tom Renney as coach.
Posted by Josh from Tampa on 04/28/10 at 09:14 PM ET
I just can't see him leaving the wings so soon.
Posted by 42jeff from The greater Howard City, MI metroplex on 04/28/10 at 09:20 PM ET
Not sure how old Yzerman's kids are, but if they're still in school in Detroit, I'd be really surprised to see him take this job if it's offered.
Posted by mudshark on 04/28/10 at 09:31 PM ET
I'd be shocked to see him sign on the dotted line with a team with such troubled ownership and all that…...
Not too mention see him leave Detroit.
Kinda like when he retired, say it ain't so!?!?!
Posted by MOWingsfan19 from I really like our team on 04/28/10 at 09:54 PM ET
It's just delaying the inevitable if he doesn't leave.
We will (unfortunately) have to bear seeing The Captain leading an organization other than the Red Wings.
Either that, or don't extend Ken Holland. And as much as I love Stevie, the bottom line is that it's about winning, and as a GM, Holland knows how to build our team to win, Yzerman is an unknown quantity in this role.
Posted by Nathan from the scoresheet! on 04/28/10 at 10:20 PM ET
Him retiring is one thing, but running another team. That's messed up. At least that would be an Eastern Conference team that the Wings wouldn't see often.
Posted by cainer4wingsglory on 04/28/10 at 10:45 PM ET
Stevie's kids are still in middle school and high school, and I don't see him leaving so easily.
Posted by George Malik from South Lyon, MI on 04/28/10 at 10:55 PM ET
Hmmm…Detroit or Tampa…it either snows all the time or rains all the time. Can't they find a way to send Stevie Y to southern california; doesn't he deserve a beer on the beach?
Posted by stoneman from vegas on 04/28/10 at 11:16 PM ET
I wonder ... Steve Yzerman is not a stupid man, and the only way he would take this job was if he was convinced in his discussions that they are not going to be a circus anymore. He isn't in a position where he has to take the first open position offered, he can choose which ones he wants to seriously pursue.
Maybe more than actually thinking seriously about taking the position, he wants to get a feel for the process that teams go through when they are interviewing a new GM so when there is an opening he is very serious about, it won't be his first experience going through the interview process.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 04/28/10 at 11:37 PM ET
+1 Baroque. This is about experience. Even if he takes the job, it'll let him learn the ropes hands on so that he can take Holland's desk eventually. Let's let The Captain learn the finer points on someone else's time and then take the reins when he's ready.
Posted by redxblack from Akron Ohio on 04/28/10 at 11:44 PM ET
In the long run, it might be beneficial for Yzerman to take the step from apprentice to master somewhere else and return in due time enriched by that experience. Whether that somewhere else should be Tampa Bay is another question.

stoneman: do you even know Tampa's weather? It rains in the summer otherwise during the hockey season it doesn't rain a lot. And if it rained a lot we wouldn't be in a freaking drought !!! The last time it rained so much was last july when it rained for 15 straight days otherwise we would like a lot more rain. And most of our summer rain is afternoon showers over in a hour. Unlike Detroit where it has the weather off the lakes and snow over half the year. He can find a nice beer drive across Gandy bridge and sit on St. Pete Beach and enjoy the beach in January

Kayla…Tampa is renowned for it's suckitude. I used to hear the war stories when I was telecommuting to Panama City. It's swampy, rainy, and generally to be avoided like zombies at a chinese buffet. But more importantly…there is no beach.

Intra-embryonic coelom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Intraembryonic coelom)
Intra-embryonic coelom | |
Details | |
Latin | coeloma intraembryonicum |
Days | 23 |
Precursor | lateral plate mesoderm |
Gives rise to | pericardial cavity, pleural cavity, peritoneal cavity |
Identifiers | |
Code | TE E188.8.131.52.2.0.1 |
Anatomical terminology |
In the development of the human embryo the intraembryonic coelom (or somatic coelom) is a portion of the conceptus forming in the mesoderm during the third week of development. During the third week of development, the lateral mesoderm splits into a dorsal somatic mesoderm (somatopleure) and a ventral splanchnic mesoderm (splanchnopleure). The resulting cavity between the somatopleure and splanchnopleure is called the intraembryonic coelom. This space will give rise to the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
It briefly has a connection with the extraembryonic coelom.

But as its not included in this list I cant vote for it!!

Mastiff vs. Sugiura has caught up with the Street Fight and it'd be a cracking winner. I'm not a huge fan of either man, but that match is an absolute belter.
The Street Fight though... wow.
So the ring breaks in the previous match and they decide not to go with the advertised main event. Throw six guys out and tell them to have a street fight. So they have a street fight. In the street. People getting launched into moving buses, Suplexed into giant maps, scaring security guards and unsuspecting cinema workers. The carnage left was surreal. Just standing in the middle of it all you knew you'd seen something quite special. Yeah, I went with it.

Title: | Public assistance policy : a review of contemporary legislation and practice in British Columbia |
Author: | Jackson, Douglas Lascelles |
Degree | Master of Social Work - MSW |
Program | Social Work |
Copyright Date: | 1955 |
Subject Keywords | Public welfare -- British Columbia |
Abstract: | The purpose of this study has been to review the development of public assistance in British Columbia; and to compare the present policies of (a) eligibility and determination of need, (b) assistance levels, and (c) service programs, in war Veterans' Allowance, old Age Assistance, Blind Persons' Allowance, Mothers' Allowance and Social Allowance. Reference is made to American programs where a comparison of policies is helpful in clarifying Issues. On policy concerning such questions as residence, relatives' responsibility, citizenship, assessment of resources, levels of assistance, and service programs, the policy Manual and the Acts and Regulations of the B.C. Social Welfare Branch are used as the basis for comparative analysis, interviews were held with authorities administering the programs and these were pursued in order to clarify apparent variation in policy between programs and administrative agencies. Information on the American programs was obtained through literature, correspondence; and a visit to one local office of the State Department of public Assistance, Washington. For the purpose of measuring levels of assistance, use is made of a standard budget developed in a previous Master of Social Work thesis. From this a monthly cost schedule is developed to suggest an up to date budgetary standard and to point up the evaluation of the adequacy of current public assistance allowances. Discrepancies between programs on such matters as exemptions and additional income are also examined. Service programs including the social and medical aspects are studied comparatively, and it is established that British Columbia is a leader in this respect. The more effective use of trained and untrained personnel in the social services appears to demand further research. The study leads to seven major suggestions; (a) abolition of local residence qualifications with appropriate financial arrangements; (b) standardization and liberalization of policies respecting assessment of resources and income; (c) use of the standard budget in establishing and meeting need; (d) use of a simplified budget - deficit method for determining grants; (e) more effective use of personnel in social services; (f) extended use of research in public assistance; (g) development of advisory - committee groups in public assistance. |

German manufacturers of garment, leather technology and textile cleaning machinery are forecasting a 3% decline in sales in 2012, but are expecting a rise of 4% in 2013.
The Garment and Leather Technology Association (VDMA) reported a 23% drop in the number of orders during September, against the same period of last year. Between January and September, the figure was down 9%.
Sewing and garment machinery sales fell 33% between January and September, while machinery for the shoe and leather industry saw sales fall 29%. But sales of laundry and textile cleaning machinery grew 12%.
"2012 was a stable transitional year for the Garment and Leather Technology Association," said the trade association's chairman Tilo Ullmer, owner and managing shareholder of PMF and Fortuna Spezial Maschinen.
"For 2013 we are expecting an increase in turnover, particularly if global conditions improve. The unexpectedly clear outcome of the presidential election in the USA is already the first step in the right direction."
VDMA managing director Elgar Straub added: "A cautious increase in the number of orders and also in turnover can be predicted for 2013. But the global economic conditions have to stabilise or improve in order for this to happen."
However structural changes taking place in China and the shift of production closer to end consumer markets means that investment is on the agenda.
A shift in production to Eastern Europe for example, as well as the need for increasing flexibility and productivity are benefiting German technology suppliers.

Coherent model-based optical resolution
JOSA A, Vol. 13, Issue 8, pp. 1667-1669 (1996)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (161 KB)
Earlier results on parametric model-based optical resolution by the first author [ J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 4, 1402 ( 1987)] concerned two incoherent sources of known intensity. These results are generalized to sources with any degree of coherence and unknown intensity. A further generalization is that the model underlying the observations and that chosen by the experimenter need not be the same. It is shown how, for a chosen model, observations from which the sources can be resolved can be distinguished from observations from which they cannot.

Chris Burden's new work: art imitating the future
Chris Burden's latest kinetic sculpture, "Metropolis II," is displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles, Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012. The sculpture does more than just imitate life. The colorful display of roads, cars, trains and buildings is art imitating what the artist foresees life being like in five or 10 years.

By: John Rogers, Associated Press
Chris Burden's latest kinetic sculpture, "Metropolis II," does more than just imitate life. The colorful display of roads, cars, trains and buildings is art imitating what the artist foresees life being like in five or 10 years.
It will be a time, Burden forecasts, when cars will race across Los Angeles' no-longer-gridlocked freeways and streets, past a skyline of towering buildings and single-family homes, at speeds of 240 miles per hour or more.
That's just what the tiny cars do in "Metropolis II," a colorful contraption composed of 1,100 miniature vehicles, 18 miniature roads, a tiny commuter rail line and dozens of small skyscrapers and other buildings. The cars, which Burden says reach a speed of "240 scale miles per hour," are powered by a complex series of electronic conveyor belts and magnets,
"In essence, it's sort of a complicated roller-coaster system," the artist, one of the pioneers of the Light and Space movement that flowered in Los Angeles in the 1970s, explained after throwing the switch on it earlier this week.
It goes on display to the general public this weekend at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art where a separate gallery has been constructed to house it, one with a balcony so people can view the work from either ground level or above. But it will only be powered up on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and, this week, on Martin Luther King Day.
It is to remain on display at the museum for at least 10 years under an agreement with Nicolas Berggruen, the billionaire businessman who sits on the institution's board and who bought it for an undisclosed sum.
By the end of that time, Burden believes, we'll be living a real-life version of "Metropolis II," with real cars racing across the hillsides and over the freeways of Los Angeles, putting an end to traffic gridlock. Oh, and by the way, those cars won't have drivers in them, just passengers.
"I'm personally looking forward to it because I don't like driving in Los Angeles," laughs Burden, an affable man of 65 who looks little different, other than being a bit stockier and better dressed, than he did in 1971 when he shocked the art world with his controversial performance piece "Shoot."
For that work, which can still be viewed on YouTube, Burden had himself filmed being shot in the arm by a friend who stood 15 feet away with a .22 caliber rifle.
For the equally controversial 1974 piece "Trans-fixed," he had himself nailed, Christ-like, to the back of a Volkswagen bug.
More recently, he has gravitated to building large-scale sculptures made out of everyday objects.
In 2008 he built a 65-foot skyscraper out of Erector Set pieces and put it in the shadow of the 70-story General Electric building in New York City's Rockefeller Plaza.
Burden is also the creator of "Urban Light," a collection of 202 lovingly restored antique streetlights that were permanently installed in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's entrance in 2008.
By day they provide a whimsical maze for passers-by to stroll through. By night, they brilliantly illuminate an entire block of Los Angeles' Museum Mile in a stunning display of white light.
"I think Chris Burden is one of the most significant artists, not only of Los Angeles but of this period of time," says Michael Govan, the museum's director and chief executive officer.
Govan said he learned Burden was working on "Metropolis II" about the time "Urban Light" was being installed.
"Even in its very beginnings you could see the outlines of a great work of art," Govan said during an interview at the museum earlier this week.
It took Burden four years to construct "Metropolis II" at his studio in the rustic Topanga Canyon arts colony, where he lives with his wife, the sculptor Nancy Rubins.
Nearly 10 feet tall and 30 feet wide, it is made up of, among other things, toy Lego blocks, toy Lincoln logs and HO-scale railroad tracks and trains he picked up at various stores.
He had to have the 1,100 automobiles specially made at a factory in China, however. They include sports cars, sedans, trucks and vans, each one with a little magnet in the chassis, so that they pull and push one another along without ever touching.
Then the whole thing had to be transported to the museum.
"It was an epic effort," says Govan. "It took seven months to disassemble it in the studio and reassemble it here."
When Burden fired it up this week, the cars raced along "Metropolis II's" roads, including its six-lane freeway, at astounding speeds despite the nearly gridlock conditions. And, yes, there were no crashes despite all the tailgating.
Predicting his creation represents the future of automobile traffic, Burden notes Google is already testing driverless cars along San Francisco's famously winding streets and highways.
Advocates say such digitally driven vehicles could race through intersections at high speeds without colliding and without doing the stupid things that drivers do, like passing each other on blind curves.
"I think it's going to happen really quickly," Burden says. "I think people are going to be surprised. In five or 10 years you're going to see such cars."
Until then, however, he will continue to make the 20-mile trip to the museum from his home by driving his BMW. But that's all right with him. He likes having the work at the museum.
Although born in Boston, Burden has lived in LA for more than 40 years. He earned a master's degree in fine art from the University of California, Irvine, in the early 1970s and, along with Ed Ruscha, is arguably one of the city's most famous and accomplished pop artists.
"To have it go to Shanghai or Mumbai or to some Saudi Arabian's palace, it's not ideal for me," he said of his work, adding he had opportunities to sell it to other collectors.
"I like it being in my hometown because I can come down and see it and, you know, I can enjoy it myself," he said.

Prepare yourselves for Sigils, the swirling new album from St. Louis-based CaveofswordS!
The folks at PureVolume give us a taste of the record with the opening track, "Aviation Administration". Stream it here!
"'Aviation Administration' is a celebration of that which can not be quantified," McDermott (frontwoman) declares. "It is a love song to flyaway hair, broken zippers, rust, and mess in a world where man feverishly tidies up and adds decimal points to all things living and mineral."

TORRES performing "New Skin," track #2 off of her new album this past Tuesday on WNYC's Soundcheck at the Greene Space.
With Sprinter, her second record (out May 5 via Partisan Records), Torres again finds fertility in juxtaposition, while mining her own biography and anxieties. Sprinter's powerful sounds are enhanced with the work of Robert Ellis and Ian Olliver — who honed their rhythmic partnership behind the great PJ Harvey. -Soundcheck
Sprinter starts dominating college radio this coming April - you have been warned. Get pumped.
The writers at Glide Magazine are as head over heels with the new album from Diamond Rugs as we are!

The Amazing's Picture You is a pleasant reminder that this band has never stopped putting out great music. Under the Radar describes the new album as unhurried and detailed, while drawing comparisons to Kurt Vile and Tame Impala.

The album was recorded following Depeche Mode's 2013 tour at Gore's home studio in Santa Barbara, Calif. "I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic, and give it an almost sci-fi like quality," Gore said in a press release. "Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least five days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the template, the process was quick and fun."

Diamond Rugs is back at it again with the grimiest, country-tinged rock in town. The writers at mxdwn.com break the album down track-by-track, digging deeply and exploring the album's roots. How can you not listen to this record?
"Killing Time" is easily the album's top track. It's hard to figure out what makes this song such a compelling listen; it's a potent mix of deceptively simple elements that end up being greater than the sum of the parts. They start with a base made up of a two note guitar riff, a walking bass line, and chugging drums. On top of that are layered call and response vocals that evoke the outro of Iggy Pop's "Success." Finally, sparing helpings of acoustic guitar, organ stabs, and a scorching saxophone solo are sprinkled in.

Experienced surfer here.
Sack up and get in the water fool.
Experienced surfer here.
Sack up and get in the water fool.
At my home break all the time but when I was in Costa I have to admit I did get really sketched out surfing alone.
Yes quite a bit. Especially when I surf in eastern Maine. Not many surfers up here. Just a cove surrounded by trees and mountains. No people and definitely no houses. I love it, but I'll be honest sometimes it does get a little creepy. I also try to avoid going out alone when its big.
I did once and the boogie man was out there. He said if anymore surfers surf alone he will be mean to them. Don't do it! The boogiemaan will get you. Ps. The Loch Ness monster was out there plus the Jersey Devil and Sasquatch.
This guy was at a local break about a year ago. A big fish like a tarpon leaped out of the water, hit him in the head unconscious. Lucky the lineup was semi crowded and a guy spotted it happen and saved the guys life. True and really weird story.
And then there is this story:
Doesn't mean you can't surf alone, of course, just interesting.
Last edited by Betty; Feb 4, 2014 at 10:52 PM.
I hate when that happens! A big tarpon smashed underneath my board as I was laying flat on it, and I bounced up in the air off my board about a foot high and landed back on it. I was all alone and had my feet up because I saw big swirls and didn't know if it was sharks or what. It was chest high and clean, and in a spot known for sharks. I got out after I almost ruined my boardshorts. I saw from the beach it was a big tarpon, but left anyway I was so sketched out. This almost never happens at Typhoon Lagoon.
Whoa. Thats really weird.
I'm always first in the water at sunrise, only one around for at least the first hour or so until someone else paddles out at least. Occasionally i'll get an entire 3-4hr session all by myself, but at some point someone walks by or something. But I don't really pay attention to what's going on other than catching my next wave so even if there was anybody there, i wouldn't see them. I do my best surfing when i'm alone, nobody to distract me, just me and the ocean and the occasional visitor in the water or air. Of course, being in the water that early (sometimes before sunrise) isn't exactly the safest idea, but it has it's advantages.

Song For Emma LyricsArtist: SaxonAlbum: Destiny Staring at the stars Trying to find the reason why Her world was torn apart She's sick and tired of trying to keep The wolves back from the door She couldn't stand the pain (*) She tried to come in from the rain She was a victim of her heart Is no-one to blame What happened to the dreams she had Visions of her life Now they're only shadows Fading in the night She's given up believing Turned her back and slammed the door (Repeat *) Emma weeps alone tonight Passion was her crime No-one hears her cry for help Her back's against the wall She's standing on her very edge She's waiting for the fall (Repeat *)

Pros, Cons of Starting Tech Firm in Recession
Ted Sullivan last summer was kicking around the idea of starting a company that married his tech experience with his love of amateur sports.
He and partner Kiril Savino worked on creating a prototype while both held full-time jobs. Everything changed in October, when, like many, he was "downsized" because of the recession. Rather than seek another full-time position, Sullivan decided to launch Gamechanger.io, the score-keeping and stat-management application, despite the tough times.
"There is no price on the freedom of working for yourself," he explains. "I may have dialed down on anything that was frivolous. And I may be working more than I ever had. But it makes it all worthwhile, even if I'm eating one level above Ramen."
Sullivan isn't alone in launching a tech company in the recession. But before you write that first line of code and think you'll be another Cinderella story like Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) or Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - Get Report), here are 11 tips to remember:
Go with what you know: Unless you're sitting on a winning Mega Millions lottery ticket, you can't afford to burn through your life's savings or other people's money. Start with a business idea in a space you're familiar with. You'll make fewer rookie mistakes. It'll also be easier to network for advice and to raise cash, says Richard Weede, vice president of communications for rentacarnow.com. Partner up: They say two heads are better than one. Know what you bring to the company and find someone who makes you a more rounded team. Offering someone else equity in the company is also the cheapest way to get labor. Sullivan came up with the vision for Gamechanger.io, but Savino is building the application. "If I had brought on contractors to even get to the fundraising stage, I would have needed cash right off the bat," he says. "But by working together, we had a rough alpha product to show investors last summer."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

As the cold, quiet season begins to lose its grip and inches toward the north, nature's varied noisemakers are greeting the first signs of spring. Morning birdsong, led by robins, cardinals and Carolina wrens, has a fervor not heard since mid September; even blue jays are tuning up their musical voice, in sharp contrast to their raucous shrieks of winter. Not to be ignored, northern flickers are practicing their first, tentative calls of the season which, by March, will explode into loud, hysterical monologues.
Out in the wetlands, male red-winged blackbirds will soon begin their incessant song of spring and, by the end of the month, upland chorus frogs and spring peepers will dominate the airwaves. In the open countryside, red-tailed hawks have paired off, delivering their sharp mating cries as they cavort above the fields and meadows. And, as if on cue, the first wavering flocks of snow geese are passing over the Heartland, their high-pitched calls echoing from the cold, February sky. This varied audio of spring will intensify through June as avian migrants and summer residents stream into the American Midwest and a host of amphibians add their voices to the chorus. Then, as heat and humidity build in July, the noise will gradually fade; by mid summer, only the insects will have the energy to sing. |

After starting the year 0-3, Gainesville head coach Todd Cottrell wasn't sure how long it would take for his team to buy into his system. He now has his answer.
When the Johnson High boys and girls basketball teams take to the floor tonight a lot of things will be the same. The uniforms will be blue and white, the opponent will be another high school team and the game plan will be to win.
For those unfamiliar with what a basketball showcase is, think cattle call.
Gainesville High baseball coach Jeremy Kemp is in the process of compiling a record book with all the history of its program.
If Gainesville High's Jaymee Carnes hadn't already established herself as one of the county's top scorers entering last week's Lanierland Tournament, she did afterwards.
The West Hall High girls basketball team used a late surge in the fourth quarter to defeat Habersham Central 40-37 on Monday in Oakwood.
ATLANTA - It came down to a matter of inches. Maybe even an inch.
As the chartered buses pulled into Flowery Branch High to pick up the football team and cheerleaders, the air-raid siren familiar to players and fans alike blared, echoing out over the empty football stadium and sending them off with a little bit of home.
Flowery Branch coach Lee Shaw could attach a positive spin on its loss to Cairo right after Saturday night's state title game. There is history to back up the point he made.
ATLANTA - Rocky, the 1976 Oscar winner for best picture, may be the best underdog tale in American storytelling history. It stands up against any short story or novel the most well-read literature scholar can find.
Taylor Campbell, Nick Quinn and Colby McClain all finished in second place to lead North Hall to a third-place finish Saturday at the Apalachee Wildcat Round Robins.
Omar Lopez (103 pounds) finished second for the West Hall wrestling team in a 14 team field at the Creekview duals on Saturday in Cherokee County.
GAINESVILLE - West Hall combined a 9-4 run to end the third and a 6-0 run to start the fourth to pull away from a tenacious Johnson team and win the program's first ever Lanierland title, 72-58 Friday night at Gainesville High.
GAINESVILLE - The Gainesville girls finished what their standout Jaymee Carnes started in their 55-40 win over East Hall in the Lanierland finals.
The 2008 Cairo Syrupmakers have everything you could want in a high school football team: A backfield full of playmakers, a defense that yields points grudgingly and a roster full of seniors that have played on the big stage.
In some ways, it took East Hall an entire season to hold off and ultimately defeat Oconee County in Wednesday's first-round state playoff game.
JEFFERSON - The Banks County Lady Leopards' tough region served them well in the opening round of the Class AAA state basketball tournament.
Shikiya Brown tallied 13 points to lead Gainesville's girls to a 54-34 win over Kell in the first round of the Class AAAAA tournament on Wednesday in Marietta.
For the second straight day, icy conditions are taking a toll on the basketball state playoffs in Northeast Georgia.
With his team missing each of its opening eight field goal attempts, Buford Lady Wolves coach Gene Durden yanked his starters and hoped the move would send a message.
The Lakeview Academy basketball teams have qualified for the Class A Private playoffs, according to GHSA power ratings released Tuesday, with the Lions boys the 16th and final team to make their bracket.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech coach Brian Gregory has tried to help his players keep faith that the season is not lost.
The ice storm has led to the postponement of tonight's scheduled state basketball playoff game between the East Hall High School girls and Oconee County.

nice, taking the arm. anyone see a parallel? he took an arm to avenge chad too...maybe he should've taken a leg. or clipped his wings. but yes indeed ichigo's alter ego looks pretty bad A. very nice. he'll (ichigo hollow) probably beat ulquoirra within an inch of death and then ichigo will take back over to make things more interesting.
Can off ass-whoopage. nice

HORN RAPING FUCKIN CEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO xD
FUCK YEAH xD [excuse the Fwords,but it had to be said ]
It seems that Ichigo is struggling to gain his consciousness...And he still has the hole - I´m curious how this is gonna develop...
Yea that cero was like "WT HOLY F". OK Ulqui's dead. All the trash talk he gave ichigo bout being "too human" haha o how it comes to bite him back in the ass now.
"He is now declaring his words to the WORLD!"
