The Resort
Considered to be one of South Africa's premier conference and holiday venues, Alpine Heath Resort allows you to relax in the comfort of an exclusive mountain village nestled in the midst of Northern Drakensberg. This is the ideal destination for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle and a chance to relax and unwind while basking in the beauty of the natural surroundings. You and your fellow travellers will also be able to enjoy a unique horse-riding experience, instantly channelling your inner Equestrian. Warm and elegantly decorated in neutral shades, crisp white sheets and rich dark wood finishing, your chalet will be your perfect home away from home. With splendid breath-taking views and stylish living quarters, your stay at this family-friendly holiday spot will guarantee you leave feeling revived and refreshed.
The Surroundings
The Drakensberg Mountains is a 200-kilometre-long mountainous wonderland and world heritage site with a range rising to over 3 000 meters. A stone's throw away, you will be able to view the unsurpassed grandeur of the world's second highest waterfall, the Tugela Falls, which tumbles down a series of breath-taking cascades. The Natal Drakensberg Park is also close-by: enjoy a refreshing hike in this wilderness area and spot several species of wildlife including bushbuck, oribi, mountain reedbuck, eland and mischievous baboons, as well as many others. Decorated by a wealth of flora, including wild flowers and pink and orange Watsonia blooming on the hillside in spring, the picturesque area is the perfect "wish you were here" postcard and will be a treat for keen photography enthusiasts.
I celebrated my 40th birthday at Alpine Heath with good friends and family. It was a total blast and the resort was excellent! What made the weekend even more special was how much the staff went out their way to make sure the celebrations were a success. It is a great family resort with so much to do for everybody.

Honeycomb looks very slick to me. One thing they got right is to not require a home button. It makes no sense in a tablet, specially in portrait mode.
If this makes Apple improve iOS's notification system and replace those popups by something less intrusive and annoying, we all won already.
I tend to agree. But the universal functionality of iOS makes it compelling for a great many.
In any case, for me at least, A3.0 is at least worth a trip to Best Buy to check it out(see if this 'pig' can squeal ).
BTW I may have missed it, but did not see any mention of printing, some basic word processing(ala Pages etc), DLNA support etc. I presume those apps/functions are in existing underlying Android code?
Oh... And I presume this new version does not support H.264 codec and only supports Googles video codec?.... Ziiiiinnng!
Those Google kids these days, they don't know if they're coming or going

Happy 70th Birthday, Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie!!!
Friday, July 12, 2013
Happy Birthday to former Fleetwood Mac songwriter-keyboardist Christine McVie, who turns 70 today (July 12th)!!! McVie, along with former husband John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, steered the group through a diverse early '70s period following the departure of the group's co-founding guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer. Following the eventual departure of key members Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch -- and the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks -- McVie suddenly became one of the three hottest songwriters of the 1970's. In the latter part of the '70s, she was romantically involved with legendary Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson.
McVie's songs played a crucial role in the band's blockbusters Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Tusk, Mirage, and Tango In The Night. Among the standards she wrote for the band were: "Over My Head," "World Turning (co-written with Buckingham)," "Warm Ways," "Sugar Daddy," "Say You Love Me," "Don't Stop," "Songbird," "Oh Daddy," "You Make Loving Fun," "Think About Me," "Over And Over," "Hold Me," "Love In Store," "Little Lies," and "Everywhere," among others.
Lindsey Buckingham shed some light on the events surrounding McVie's departure from Fleetwood Mac shortly after their 1997 reunion tour: "She burned a lot of bridges, and that's what she felt she needed to do in order to sort of get on to the next phase of her life. She really just had a lot of things to work out maybe that were long overdue, and she felt she had to sell her house here and ended the marriage that she had going, so obviously it was clear to everyone that she wasn't going to be into coming back."
During the band's last tour, we asked Stevie Nicks how she feels fronting what she's often called a "boys club" without McVie sharing the stage with her: "Being the only girl in Fleetwood Mac? You have to understand, I've been the only girl in Fleetwood Mac now since 1998 and it's 2009. I'm used to it now. I miss Christine every day because she was my best buddy. She was my best friend. And I probably spent more time on the road with Fleetwood Mac than anywhere. I've spent more time with these people than I have with my own family. So the loss of Christine as one of my best girlfriends was horrific for me. But she's been gone a long, long, time now. There's not a day that I don't wish that she'd call up and say 'I'm back!' -- but she's not going to. So we've all kind've accepted that now."
In 2003 McVie said that after attending a then-recent Fleetwood Mac concert in London, she had no regrets about splitting from the band and leaving the road behind: "I just felt kind of relieved, if you want to know the truth, 'cause I, I went backstage afterwards, and they were all so tired, and, I just don't think I could do that anymore. It's kind of, if you like, verified that I'd made the right decision."
In 2003 McVie was credited as an additional musician on Fleetwood Mac's last studio set, Say You Will. She contributed keyboards and backing vocals on "Bleed To Love Her" and "Steal Your Heart Away."
In 2004 McVie released her third solo album, In The Meantime, which she collaborated on with her nephew, Dan Perfect.
Although nothing has been confirmed, there are rumors that McVie will join her former bandmates at one of their upcoming UK dates in September.

David Gilmour Impersonator Tries To Get Free Medical Care
Monday, May 6, 2013
A Minnesota man arrested for impersonating David Gilmour tried to dodge his hospital bill by claiming he was the famed Pink Floyd guitarist, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. 53-year-old Phillip Michael Schaeffer's unspecified medical care on April 20th reportedly cost a whopping $100,000 and Schaeffer even went so far as to sign an autograph for the son of a hospital worker. Although Schaeffer probably would've walked away Scott Free, the hospital flagged his chart in case he returned.
Sure enough, several days later, he returned to the St. Cloud Hospital for additional treatment, and suspicious medical staffers notified a police officer on hand who arrested Schaeffer. Schaeffer reportedly claimed that Floyd were on tour in Canada and flashed bogus papers, which claimed that "David Gilmour" was insured by Lloyd's of London.
Schaeffer was booked on April 24th at the Stearns County Jail for "investigation of felony theft by swindle." He's since been released on bail.
Hospital spokeswoman Jeanine Nistler told The St. Cloud Times: "There was some discussion among security staff leading people to believe that he really wasn't David Gilmour. So our security supervisor pulled up the security camera shots of when this man entered the hospital and compared them to pictures on the Internet of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and determined he was not David Gilmour."

The FBI kept it in Lexington, Ky., as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
FBI agent Fred Kingston was to move the Ferrari from a garage in May 2009. Assistant U.S. Attorney J. Hamilton Thompson said Kingston invited him on a "short ride."

Home > Programs > Surface > OPC
The offshore patrol cutter is a next-generation ship that will complement the Coast Guard's current and future fleet to extend the service's operational capabilities. It will feature increased range and endurance, more powerful weapons, a larger flight deck, and improved command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment. The OPC will accommodate aircraft and small boat operations in all weather.
The OPC will replace the aging fleet of 210-foot and 270-foot medium endurance cutters, which are becoming increasingly expensive to maintain and operate and are, in many respects, technologically obsolete.
The Coast Guard is using a deliberative, two-phased design-build strategy to acquire the OPC. This approach establishes stable requirements and design early on in the life of the acquisition, which helps mitigate cost and schedule risks. The first phase includes preliminary and contract design, and the second phase will include detail design and construction.

Today's Horoscope by Rick Levine
Your behavior may be misinterpreted today as your key planet Mars aligns with fuzzy Neptune, making it difficult to plan ahead. You need to take other people's perspectives into consideration before you initiate action, yet this process may take longer than you prefer. Instead of pushing for resolution, ease up and let the events take their own course. Enjoy the magic of your current sense of timelessness before you have to return to reality.

By Tammy

We have a country home with lots of windows. I first bought some Bali blinds at [...] for three of my windows in our Great room. I was so happy with the blinds, that I decided to order for the other windows. I googled Bali Blinds and found several websites that carried them and checked them out. I've ordered the same blind through Steve's Blinds for 4 rooms in my house. I've been 100% pleased with their product and am in the process of ordering for another room in our home. The only con is that wood blinds in general aren't the easiest to clean, but the look they give is well worth the extra elbow grease. I would highly recommend without reservations Steve's Blinds. You won't be dissapointed.

By Catpainter

Bought these to replace damaged blinds in our rented townhome, to blend with existing blinds. These are lightweight, but durable, which makes them easy to raise and lower in a 72inch width. They do not close entirely flat, allowing some light, but not a concern for us. Very happy with product. Price was a little more than basic brand but well-worth it.

Vienna is the perfect city for anyone who loves culture – or chocolate. The imperial Habsburg palaces of Hofburg, Belvedere and Schönbrunn are luxurious beyond belief. Art museums such as the Vienna museum of art history (Kunsthistorisches Museum), KunstHausWien and the Leopold Museum are among the best in Europe. It is easy to spend an entire day admiring the many exhibitions at the vast Museumsquartier.
European café culture originates in the lovely Viennese Art Nouveau coffee houses, under the arched ceilings of which writers and philosophers gathered in the 19th century. The recipe of the celebrated chocolate cake served at Cafe Sacher has been a closely guarded secret for centuries. Home to Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss, Vienna has a lot to offer for anyone who enjoys classical music: there are three opera houses and two famous concert halls, Musikverein and Konzerthaus – so take your pick!
The airport is located 20 km southeast of Vienna.

I would say no to Gay.
His contract is just too outrageous.
He would throw Jazz payroll into chaos for two years.
I'm not a big gay guy and I think the Jazz learned their lesson by how AK hamsringed them for years. Just say no to Gay.
I agree with everyone that has said he is overpaid. He is.
Also, the Jazz would be doing Memphis a huge favor by taking on that contract. If anything the Jazz should be sending them all expiring contracts (regardless of position of need) and should get back Gay plus another draft pick or Daryl Arthur as a future big man rotation with Favors and Kanter.
"The loss would come in defense, as Millsap is deficient on that end compared to Gay's steal-grabbing proficiency."
Do these bleacher report writers ever do any research? Millsap has more steals over the past 2 seasons than Gay does and they are tied in steals this season. Hilarious how the writer states Millsap would be deficient compared to Gay's "stealing ability". No to Gay in every way
Hayward is a better player than Gay IMO.
Rudy is extremely athletic but wastes it.
Cyrone said it right- Gay is a Marvin Williams who chucks.
Its so tempting from a shake-up standpoint, but JUST SAY NO to the SF version of Big Al. Look at his percentages. Memphis is near top of conference yet eager to get rid of him.. enough to make you say hmmm. We learned the lesson the hard way with Big Al... if someone will let something go for cents to the dollar ITS PROBABLY A LEMON. When we got Al we ignored all the horror stories because we were so excited at his "scoring" and etc.. without looking at the big picture. And if we gave up Hayward or Kanter in any trade... oh my... I would hand in fan card right there.
I don't get it. Memphis is the one trying to get rid of Rudy Gay, yet we're the one giving up the GS pick AND Burks...

Intelligent Platform Management Interface
Adopters list
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification will continue to improve server management and help reduce costs. IPMI helps lower the overall costs of server management by enabling customers to save time, maximize IT resources, and potentially manage multivendor environments in the same way. The current specification defines common interfaces that allow IT managers to receive status alerts, send instructions to industry-standard servers, and run diagnostics over a network versus locally at the server.
The Industry Promoters, Adopters and Contributors table shows the most current list of those approved to work with the IPMI program.
You can learn more about IPMI with this animation demonstration. This provides a high-level overview to help you better understand how IPMI works.

Any update on the benchmarks you were planing to do with steam?
Phoronix: Intel Still Works On Driver For Left 4 Dead 2
While Left 4 Dead 2 still hasn't been released to the general Linux gaming public, it's coming. Intel open-source developers are also continuing to work on optimizing the Source Engine game for their Linux graphics driver...
Any update on the benchmarks you were planing to do with steam?
Changing from BOOL to BITSET_WORD interesting.
Finally found what it is: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/bitset/bitset/
Will Left 4 Dead 2 run smooth on a Intel processor?
Then is there any reason to buy a AMD or Nvidia dedicated graphics card?
Onboard chips always lagged the power needed for gaming.
But how important a driver is, is proved by amd.
With the much faster hardware, they do not out perform the intel onboard as they should......
And like smitty3268, said, it depends on what you want.
If you want full AA, and all options in game set to high, you need a dedicated grahics card.
And a fast one, which you replace once every two years.
To give you an example:
Serious Sam 3 on my pc.
Amd phenom II X4 @3.2 ghz with 4 gig of ram, is fast enough but my HD 5750 with 1 gig of ram is not fast enough to handle everything on high setting. ( not on windows directX either )

For everything else get a real GPU. The only reason game companies ensure their games will even run on Intel GPUs at all is the massive installed base of craptacular Dell/HP/Acer boxes out there.
The game will run, just barely, so that the player will whine online about how slow it plays only to be told they need to purchase a GPU that can actually run the game well. The game company isn't hurt, they made their sale, you just failed to meet the recommended system requirements.
Will those performance fixes get into the mesa 9.1 branch too?

A 53-year-old Mequon man was warned for disorderly conduct after being told the Thiensville restaurant at which he was dining ran out of fish for its all-you-can-eat fish fry last week.
According to the police report:
The man had already consumed 12 pieces of fish around 7:40 p.m. Friday when informed the restaurant had run out and could not substitute any other fish.
The man then refused to pay his bill. After the restaurant gave him eight more pieces of fish to go, he paid his bill.
The man returned to the restaurant on May 13 with a picket sign protesting the restaurant's poor business practices. Officers provided the man with guidelines for his protest, which he violated. He was then told to leave or risk arrest. He left and said he would return the next day.

I think war is often started by a leader, whereas often the rest of the group don't want to participate. Playground antics. The bully starts a provocation, and tries to rally others to side with him against his "enemy." But there are usually those who want nothing to do with the conflict.
In fact, some sci-fi stories tell of aliens who "waited" to conquer earth until the humans had pretty much destroyed each other.
I keep thinking back to Close Encounters. We saw contact with aliens just at the end. But what if the contact had continued? Would mankind have been so stupid as to suggest fighting them? I have no doubt as to who would win in such a case (hint: not us)..
And any aggression would be to "show superiority." But truely advanced races wouldn't get into any "I'm better than you" challenges. They would be above that. They would be interested in learning; in exchange; in mutual growth. I think that's what the aliens in Close Encounters wanted.

The thing is we do need a different attitude toward science and science education. Too often the only reason some research gets financed is because they think it will be a useful weapon.
July 6th, 2012, 07:36 PM #35
Who would have more success solving a problem? A group of people fighting and arguing or a group communicating and working together?
Sure war might make the different sides work better amongst themselves, but that's no reason to start a war. The progress of either side could be destroyed and lost. Make it a contest rather than a war. Loser buys the beer.

I really agree with the last 4 posts ^^^.
War is not necessary. Intelligence and creative collaboration are what we need. Aliens that are truly advanced are those who know how to defeat war, not other beings.
I guess the quality of our sci-fi kind of reflects the quality of our ability to deal with real life issues. If our idea of aliens is that they are "evil," and that the only way to interact with them is by destroying them, does that perhaps say something about how we deal with foreigners on our own planet???
July 7th, 2012, 05:40 AM #37
Yes but a real or perceived enemy will advance technology, discovery, creativity much faster than a life of leisure. This is what happened with the Space Race and this is why we(the U.S.) are currently losing our edge in that area as well as most other science areas. We've become complacent.
Neil deGrasse Tyson speaks of this a lot in his essays on space, astronomy, cosmology.

I finally got an "educator" to check out an old science fiction story and respond.
Omnilingual (1957) by H. Beam Piper
Just finished listening to the radio story. This is science gold! I will go back and read the text but quite enjoyed the experience of listening to the audio version. Fascinating how they found their Rosetta stone upon the walls of a classroom. Now we need to to unpack the story so that we can use it in the classroom, perhaps first by writing up a teaching guide that builds upon the history and science ideas. I think what also works is that the author has kept it quite believable, clearly drawing upon how scientists really work rather than popular fiction. Thank you for sharing this.

Just because there may be no death involve doesn't mean it's not a war. One side of the conflict feels all smug because they've erected a forcefield around the solar system of the other or 'mind controlled' them not to fight. 'Hey, look at us, we haven't killed a single one of them. Aren't we mature?'. Meanwhile the trapped enemy fries as their sun goes nova or quietly starves to death.
The issue is resources. As long as there are life or death issues involving resources there will be war. Even if one side is able to hold the other at arms length until they give up and die, it's still war.
The trick is to recognise when it ISN'T a life or death issue.
July 7th, 2012, 10:55 PM #41
It's only a fraction.
If most of all of the science-fiction books you are reading have to do with wars or massive violence, you need to widen your horizons, because such books are only a subset of what there is. A few throw-out-there titles you might investigate (in random order):
- Signs of Life, M. John Harrison
- A Billion Days of Earth, Doris Piserchia
- "The Briah Cycle", Gene Wolfe (a dozen or so books, with internal three sub-cycles.
- "The Demon Princes", Jack Vance (a five-book cycle)
- Einstein's Dreams, Alan Lightman
- The Fifth Head of Cerberus, Gene Wolfe
- The Green Child, Herbert Read
- "The Instrumentality of Man", Cordwainer Smith (a novel and a short-story collection, all in the same milieu)
- Islandia, Austin Tappan Wright
- Martin Dressler, Steven Millhauser (more alternate-history than sf, but super)
- Past Master, R. A. Lafferty
- Pavane, Keith Roberts
- The Complete Qfwfq, Italo Calvino (collected stories)
- Report on Probability A, Brian W. Aldiss
- The Unholy City, Charles G. Finney
- "Viriconium", M. John Harrison (a four-book cycle, starts sf, evolves toward fantasy)
- A Voyage to Arcturus, David Lindsay
That is not offered as a laundry list of books you are sure to love. It is offered as a list of sf books each of which is, in my opinion and not a few others, an excellent work, but whose member books are hugely diverse in content, setting, tone, style, and pretty much everything. You might, if you tried them all, love a few and hate a few, but I think they are all well worth looking up in reviews to illustrate the width and depth--the richness--of what is out there.
Not every one is free of violence; but we must remember that fiction is ultimately about conflict and resolution. I do think that few or none of them offer violence as a first, natural, and dominating way toward conflict resolution. (The "Demon Princes" cycle is about personal revenge, and hence violence, but is still rather different from the nearly mindless violence of the "exploding spaceships" school of sf.)

And there are, of course, more besides. I think these books are simply not publicized as much as war-themed books, because it's been established (decided? guessed at?) that war-themed books sell better. Personally, I haven't heard of many of those books in your list, owlcroft, and I may check out a number of them (especially if they're available as ebooks).
July 8th, 2012, 07:39 PM #43
As Clausewitz said, war is the continuation of politics by other means. So, as long as there're governments and political shenanigans, there would be either wars or some other actions that might cause a lot of damage but you might be less aware of if (certain economic policies, for example).
That said, fiction without any conflict would be very boring and very short

I really enjoy the idea that in the future as different social, technological, and philosophical ideals come into existence and acceptance that there may be new ways to approach conflicts of interests.
However, when you said that there should be new ways to "defeat" the enemy, I would think that this would be just as / if not more interesting if it was about new ways that allowed us to not have to "defeat" anyone.
I have always found diplomatic strategies much more interesting in their fine details. Who knows how diplomacy can change and what subjects it can all include in the future.

The problem is lack of world depth.
To portray most things that are too "out there" or different requires too much set up and stagnant stories if too much time is spent doing the world background and set up.
A bit of reverse chicken and egg, book requires too much world setup, too much world setup makes for crappy book.

Would you marry into another rite/form?
I've never considered it absolute that my future spouse would have to strictly attend the TLM. However, in recently speaking with several good people who do not share my feelings as of yet, I find that I'm a bit frightened about wedding someone who doesn't share my love of the the Old Rite. I have no problem attending the Novus Ordo (I'm not a Sede or PiusX or anything) but I REALLY prefer not to do so.
Thoughts anyone? if you had found someone who was great on every other score, would this be a deal breaker? I did not find the Old Mass until my adulthood and would like my children to learn it from the beginning. The beauty and soloemnity are overwhelmingly awesome, not to mention that, at least in my own diocese , the New Mass is not done so well or so reverently.

Mobile Design Pattern: High Performance Widgets: CSS Sprites
This is the first of the series of articles High Performance Widgets. The objective of this articles is to show tips and tricks that improve your WRT widgets or Mobile Websites performance, and also make your widget optimized for a better user interaction.
The Back-end of your widgets is only 20% of the loading process, so if you want to make it faster, you have to focus on the Front-end. The XTHML documents spend between 10 to 20% to load, the rest is divided between Style Sheets, JavaScript and Images.
How does CSS Sprites works
CSS sprites replaces the old method of slicing and dicing in a more flexible way, using nothing more than creative thinking and CSS.
The technique consists in making image-replacements using a CSS mask. Behind the mask we'll use a master image, which is a combination of all images needed and it's different states. You can combine all in master image or separated by specific parts (like Navigation/ Buttons/ or whatever you wish).
You can use CSS sprites in any XHTML element that accepts Backgrounds, such as any display:block element.
The master image
In this image we have the buttons, the icons, the logo and the navigation. Notice that all the items that have human interaction (in this case the navigation), appear in two different forms:
- The normal: Before the interaction.
- The active: After the interaction. In this case, when the selected screen is showed.
The XHTML
Is important for every good CSS trick, to have a clean block of code.
Let's see the example bellow:
This one represent the logo and the navigation. Notice that there's a link with the class active. That happened because the Div #url , which is relate to #btn-url, is the firs screen showed, so its active.
This code will serve as a base for our example. Light-weight, simple markup and easy to understand. Anyway, in the bottom of this article you'll find the whole code (XHTML/CSS/JS) used in the interface, for mores CSS sprites examples.
Applying the CSS
Master image as background
Now, its time to style our structure. First we have to set the master image as background of all elements that will use it.
#menu #btn-read a,
#menu #btn-url a,
#menu #btn-read .active,
#menu #btn-url .active,
background: url(../images/set.png) no-repeat;
That line of CSS code says that the logo, the navigation links and their active states, have the same background, set.png
Positioning the elements
Now we'll style them individually, changing elements positions and setting the widths and heights to creat the CSS mask effect.
Like in a commom image replacement, we use the display:block for the links, so we can set their width and heigh properties and the text-indent to make the link's text disapear.
text-indent: -999px;
width: 170px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
margin: 20px 0 0 20px;
width: 140px;
height: 55px;
float: left;
margin: 20px 0 0 30px;
#menu #btn-url a{
display: block;
width: 64px;
height: 53px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
text-indent: -999px;
#menu #btn-read a{
display: block;
width: 66px;
height: 53px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
text-indent: -999px;
margin-left: 5px;

Now the mask is created, let's position the backgrounds making the correct elements meet the correct background.
background-position: -0px -0px ;
#menu #btn-read a{
background-position: -236px -0px ;
#menu #btn-url a{
background-position: -170px -0px;
The active
Now we're going to format the navigation links in the 'active' state.
When you click the navigation buttons the JavaScript in this example, says that this class active will be added to the link, changin his style.
Gladly in our case, we just have to change the background position.
#menu #btn-read a{
background-position: -236px -54px ;
#menu #btn-url a{
background-position: -170px -54px;
CSS sprites are far more flexible than Image Mapping.
Using CSS sprites on this case we save 10 HTTP Requests, which will increase a lot in the widget loading speed.
Other advantage is reducing the downloading size of the file. Though most people assume than the master image is heavier than all images sliced individually, in fact, the master image is a lot smaller.
In this example the maste image size was 14kb and the size of all slices together where 44kb. That implicates that the CSS sprites made a reduction of 3.14 times the size of image.
That happens because the combination of images eliminate the need to load individual elements for each one, such as color tables or formatting info.
This is the .zip file, with the XHTML, CSS and JavaScript used in this article.
This examples contains a base interface for you to guide your self.

Internet "Poll" on Teaching Evolution
A Georgia newspaper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has published the results of its December 2002 "Voice of Atlanta" internet survey regarding evolution education. The results cannot be considered either accurate or precise, since they are not based on a random sample of the population. In addition, the single question asked was somewhat ambiguous:
Do you agree or disagree: The theory of evolution should be taught in public schools to the exclusion of all other theories, such as creationism or "intelligent design."
Textbook Disclaimer Bill Proposed
On February 3 this year's session of the Oklahoma state legislature will open. Among the bills scheduled to be introduced at that time is House Bill 1504, sponsored by Rep. Bill Graves. This bill would require an evolution disclaimer in every textbook which discusses the subject.
Similar bills have been introduced in Oklahoma in the past, but failed to pass. The complete text of the bill, available on the Oklahoma legislature's website, reads as follows:
Wisconsonites Support Biblical Creationism in School
The Wisconsin Badger Poll reports that of 514 state residents surveyed, 50% of them would support a law requiring "the biblical theory of creation as an alternative to the theory of evolution" according to a story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Jan 26, 2003. Fifty percent said yes, 43% were opposed, and 6% had no opinion. The margin of error was reported to be plus or minus 4 points.

Lemon Cream Cake
This week, my contributor CP Choong is back with a beautiful cake—lemon cream cake. Have you seen a better looking cake? As a non-baker, this lemon cream cake is probably one of the best looking cakes I have set my eyes on. So much so that I just wanted to grab it from my screen and eat it. It was baked with a swirl shape bundt pan and it was simply gorgeous!
Anyway, this is basically a butter cake with a little twist, using the French Genoise technique, which means that the cake is made using the sponge cake method and butter is added towards the end, unlike the traditional creaming of butter and sugar first. Cream is also used in the recipe so the cake is moist.
As its name suggest, this lemon cream cake is flavored with lemon zest from three lemons and some lemon juice, infusing the cake with a very nice citrusy and lemony aroma, which is enticing to the taste buds. If you love cakes, I think this lemon cream cake recipe will be great for you and your family. The prep time is only 30 minutes and the ingredients are simple, everyday ingredients. You just have to get a bundt pan if you want your cake to look as pretty as the pictures here.
Happy baking and have a good weekend!

It's wonderful and very easy to make. I recommend a sour cream vanilla icing with lemon bit sprinkles on it to make it professional grade. Yummy!
Sounds amazing. I am going to try this over the weekend, using a bundt pan as well. I will report back with my results!
Love the bundt pan.
You can get the bundt pan at William Sonoma
Looks awesome! Love a good lemon cake!
Would like to try the recipe but grateful if you can give the measurements in grams or ozs. Recently I read in Women's Weekly Australian version, all recipes are given in cups as well as in grams. Hope you will also in future indicate the measurements in grams. Thank you
Very pretty cake!
Looks so delicious and the shape is so pretty. Lemon is so great for hot summer weather (or any time!). Thank you.
G'day! Looks to be a moist, lovely cake; great presentation via the mold too!
I have made similar cakes but thank you as did not previous know about Genoise as the technique and love learning new things about all foods too!
Cheers! Joanne
I love ANY lemon cake. This looks wonderful. However, what is specifically Asian about this recipe?
Hi, thank you so much for the lovely recipes, made the small cape cake ! The best iv ever eaten! Eat something similar in china ! Many thanks enjoy your all your recipe not only nice beautiful also!
Makes me want to buy a ton of bundt pans to play with! Love lemon flavour so much.
I want to make this cake, but I really want that cake pan. can you provide the make? Where to get it? Thanks!
Lisa You can get that pan at William Sonoma
This is just beautiful!
It's look very tasty cake, few month ago I made cake my self, It was memorable moment for me. Firs time I made something. chicken recipes
Where in Singapore can u get that beautiful pan
Don't use the loaf pan. My cake just exploded into the bottom of my oven.

The US and CMS
The CMS detector is designed to detect the basic objects that are identified by physicists as being truly fundamental: electrons, muons, tau leptons, photons, quark jets and missing energy due to very weakly interacting particles such as neutrinos. Massive particles such as the Higgs boson decay into these fundamental objects, the properties of which are measured in the CMS detector's many subsystems.
Hadron Calorimetry
US scientists led the international team that designed, constructed and tested the hadron calorimeter. This device measures the energy and direction of jets, which are sprays of fundamental particles that are the manifestation of quark and gluon production in high energy interactions.
Electromagnetic Calorimetry
The electromagnetic calorimeter is used to identify electrons and photons and measure their energy and position. In CMS, these measurements are accomplished with a system of lead-tungstate crystals that record the energy and position of electromagnetic showers. The crystal material was developed by CMS and provides excellent energy resolution while surviving the high radiation doses that will exist in the detector. The full calorimeter contains about 80,000 crystals. The US contributed to the barrel electromagnetic calorimeter that forms a cylinder surrounding the interaction point. US scientists developed calibration systems for the calorimeter, and worked on front-end sensors that detect the electromagnetic showers.
Muon Detector
The US led the project to provide muon identification in one subset of the large muon detector subsystem. Muon identification uses a type of detector called Cathode Strip Chambers, a gas detector that simultaneously reads out information about muon positions in two dimensions. In total, 468 planar detectors were constructed, organized into eight huge wheels, each ten meters in diameter.
Silicon Strip Tracking system
CMS has constructed a system made entirely of silicon detectors that tracks charged particles emitted from the collision point. This system, with more than 200 square meters of silicon, is the largest silicon strip detector ever constructed. The full detector has 11 million silicon strips of varying sizes and positions organized into 15,000 modules. The US built all 5,200 modules for one part of the system, the Tracker Outer Barrel, and assembled them into rods. It also constructed over 2,000 modules for another part, the Tracker Endcap. This amounts to about two-thirds of the surface area of the detector.
Forward Silicon Pixel Tracking System
Close to the proton beams, the density of particles emitted from the collision is very high. Tracking of particles in this region must have high precision to determine whether particles come from the main interaction or from decays that happen a very small distance away. This requires a highly segmented silicon pixel detector that can operate from a few centimeters to about 20 centimeters from the beam. US groups have led the project to build the endcap, or forward, section of this device. It consists of 18 million silicon pixels of dimension 100x150 mm 2.
Trigger System and Data Acquisition
At full luminosity, the LHC beams produce one billion interactions in the center of the CMS detector. The trigger system selects about 100 of these events as promising indicators of new physics beyond the Standard Model. US groups played a leadership role in the trigger project, especially in developing hardware for the lowest level of the trigger selection project, which must examine every collision and therefore must operate at the highest speed. After this lowest-level trigger, only the surviving events must be examined by subsequent phases, which therefore can spend more time on each event. Once the trigger decides to accept an event, it must be recorded in an accessible way for subsequent analysis. The US developed the hardware and software to coordinate the flow of events in the data acquisition system and to bring the event data from the underground enclosure housing the experiment to the surface where the events are recorded.
The discovery of new physics at CMS depends upon the successful processing and storage of an unprecedented amount of data. Each year, the detector produces more than one petabyte—one million gigabytes—of raw data. Even larger amounts of simulated data are produced, necessary for understanding the performance of the detector and what signals from new physics will look like in the collected data. All of this data must be processed, stored, transmitted to physicists spread around the world and analyzed.
To cope with these demands, CMS and the other LHC experiments use a distributed computing solution. In this tiered system, the CERN computing center is responsible for doing a first-pass processing of the collision events, writing the data to tape for permanent storage, and then sending copies of the data to seven Tier-1 sites. One of the Tier-1 facilities is located at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois. Fermilab will further reduce the new data, re-process older data with improved software tools, and archive the data.
Generating simulated data and making data available to physicists around the world is the job of the Tier-2 facilities, which in aggregate have as much computing power as the Tier-0 facility. There are about thirty Tier-2 sites spread around the world, seven of which are in US universities: University of California, San Diego; Caltech; University of Florida; MIT; University of Nebraska-Lincoln; Purdue University; and University of Wisconsin-Madison. Each has sufficient computing resources for about forty physicists to study the data received from Tier-1 sites and make the measurements which will lead to publications and discoveries. Tier-2 computers are also used for detector simulations that are archived at Tier-1 sites. By 2008, each US Tier-2 site achieved CPU power equivalent to about 300 of today's desktop PC's, 0.2 PB of disk, and a 10 gigabit/sec network link to Tier-1 sites.

Woman Gets Married With 80 Bridesmaids by Her Side
A dance teacher in Essex, England just got hitched with 80 bridesmaids by her side. Katie Dalby, 26, had already chosen her three sisters-in-law, a niece, her best friend and a cousin to be bridesmaids when she tied the knot with firefighter Norman Gooch, 37. But when Dalby's students at Boogie Shoes Dance Academy begged to be involved, she decided it wouldn't have been "fair to choose a few of them," so the only solution was to "invite all 74 of them." On the happy couple's big day, a local road was closed so that all the bridesmaids could properly line up. The current world record for the most bridesmaids -- 95 -- was set in 2012 in Bangkok.

I use the regular Jaws Scoop and have been for years!! This by far is my most favorite scooper! Have tried others, only to have them break within weeks! This is sturdy, lasts along time. And I always have a new one on hand, so when it does finally break, I'm good to go! And you can't beat the price here at Jeffers. At Petsmart, you need to take out a loan to get one. I highly recommend this scooper! You won't be sorry. And the Jumbo I have seen in person, and it is HUGE!! Just so you're aware. ;)
"Work well"
I love this product, but it breaks far to easily... I've bought 3 and all have broke within 10-20 days of buying them...
