Only 18 among 300 Afghan army battalions could operate independently without coalition advisers, according to the US military.
But the Afghans are under pressure to take charge of more and more security in their country as NATO combat troops prepare to withdraw.
Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith joined one Afghan army unit in the south of the country for a glimpse of how they might operate on their own.

Potato dilemma
This year was an experimental year for trying to grow potatoes. We bought 10 lbs of seed potatoes in April, planted the beginning of May. I am getting a very good crop of Norland (early red) that are starting to die off. The white and Yukon Gold are still going strong and may be a while before I can harvest them.
So I was thinking that since the early reds are finishing, I would plant buckwheat in those rows, in about 6 weeks till that in, then plant another sowing of early reds around Sept.1. I was going to see if they would store in the ground throughout the winter under a thick blanket of straw.
My problem that I did not foresee is that I can't find any seed potatoes this time of year at a reasonable price. I'm guessing this is normal? If so, how do I get to a late sowing of potatoes? Buy seed potato in the spring and store them until ready for a late summer sowing? Will they keep that long?
Thanks for any help you can give this novice.

Banks have increasingly used asset-backed securities as collateral for funding from the European Central Bank, a situation that the bank is expected to crack down on soon. "Increasing speculation about diminishing central-bank support in illiquid, difficult-to-price asset-backed-security markets is likely to undermine investor-risk sentiment and raise the level of write-downs in the banking sector," said Lena Komileva, head of G7 market economics at Tullett Prebon.

Actor, 'Michael Clayton'
Amid the potential pitfalls of playing someone who's manic, Wilkinson turns his "Michael Clayton" role of Arthur Edens into something exquisite. It would be impossible for the Brit actor not to get awards consideration for conveying Arthur's joy at heedlessly rebelling against the morally bankrupt legal cocoon that has enveloped him. In fact, his performance leaves one wondering how it could have been six years since his last Oscar nom (for "In the Bedroom").

When multiple buffers are open, Ctrl+Tab and
Shift+Ctrl+Tab are reversed. Ctrl+Tab moves to the
previous file, where it should move to the next file
like all other tabbed widgets.
I note that Rev 1.120 seemed to have a similar problem:
Fixed previous and next buffer commands and menu items
to always work
consistently. Previous, F6 means move to older.
I guess that something was changed internally, but
didn't go looking.
Attaching a trivial patch
Mark Hammond
Neil Hodgson
Logged In: YES
OK, not completely convinced - try opening a sequence of
files in PythonWin and then use the Next command but that
is based on z-order and SciTE only has buffer number.
Changed anyway as it does appear more consistent. Also
changed F6 so that it is the same as Ctrl+Tab and Shift+F6
is same as Shift+Ctrl+Tab.
Neil Hodgson
Mark Hammond
Logged In: YES
thanks for the change! The behaviour is certainly in line
with things like tabbed dialog boxes, and almost every other
tab system I have seen. MSVC uses an MRU style system which
is quite nice :)

Which Way The Wind Blows
Glenn McCarthy Art and Photography
Photograph - Original Photography - Digital Brushstroke Embellishment
The old windmill tower is just another antique that decorates the outside of the roadside bar and grill in this desert town. There was a day when it pumped water and indicated the direction of the wind and it's veracity. It's a good metaphor for some things that we could use in our everyday lives.

John 3:8 "The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit". John 4:10 "In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water".

Brilliant rotation not enough for Tigers - 0 Comments
DETROIT — In a scene emblematic of Detroit's postseason downfall, Max Scherzer could only watch.
In fact, there was little any of the Tigers' starting pitchers could have done differently to prevent another disappointing ending to a fine year.
"Normally if you pitch the way we pitched in this series, you would probably think that you had won," manager Jim Leyland said.

LuLu*s Exclusive! The Just a Twirl Navy Blue Striped Dress wants you to stop standing still and start spinning! Stretchy knit with navy and ivory stripes is thick enough to wear on a chilly day as it hugs your curves down half sleeves and a fitted bodice with a rounded neckline and unique seam details. A banded waist is just the beginning of a full skirt that flares to twirl-worthy perfection. Hidden back zipper. Unlined. Model is 5'9" and is wearing a size x-small. 89% Polyester, 7% Rayon, 4% Spandex. Hand Wash Cold. Made with Love in the U.S.A.
NEED HELP CHOOSING A SIZE? See measurements & fit info for this garment in the Size & Fit dropdown!
PRODUCT MEASUREMENTS: Compare these measurements to your own body measurements. We measure each item "relaxed" on a flat surface, not stretched on a person's body. It is helpful to consider the material of the item, as some stretchy materials may give an inch or two.
Because sizing and cut will vary between brands, please use this information as a general guide. Use our Size Chart to help determine your size. If you are between sizes or need help finding the proper size, please Chat with a Stylist.
Every single time I wear this dress, I receive so many compliments on how cute it is. You can dress it up or dress it down depending on the occasion with accessories and different shoes. It's easy to care for (I machine wash then hang dry). It's comfortable and very forgiving in the mid section area, yet the cinched waist still gives you a great hour glass look. Definitely recommend this dress!
No, Really. I want this one in every color. It fits beautifully and the skirt isn't too poofy like I find with other skater dresses. Fits great, great material, and well made. Im 5'7, 125, and ordered a size small. Will definitely be ordering more in other colors soon!
I love this dress!! It is truly adorable and sexy rolled up into one. It fits true to size and is comfortable. It stays looking nice and doesn't wrinkle. Great dress and very summery and nautical looking.
Cute -- will probably only wear it for work b/c of the style and fit. The bottom flares out wider than I wanted but is still a great simple dress to belt or add a necklace.
This dress is perfect. I am 5'4", 145lbs and ordered a M and it was perfect. It does flare out a lot but looks fun. I wore it with some cropped leggings to a toddlers birthday party so I could look cute but still have fun with the kids. I got lots of compliments on it which is always nice.
I love the fabric that this dress is made out of. Its a good thick fabric that doesn't wrinkle or stain easily. The stripes are so cute and summery and they don't make my body look wide. You can also dress this up or down. Its so versatile and cute. A must have! I am 5'5 around 115 and I ordered a small.
I love this dress. LOVE IT. I also love how this one is slightly lighter than the other colours (the fabric seems stretchier too, but that is amazing). It's a perfect staple dress for any occasion and looks fantastic on all body types. I usually have a bit of an issue, since my hips are a fair bit larger than my waist or best, but this makes me look amazing.
This dress is great you can either dress it up or down. I am 5'0 and 139 lbs with an athletic curvy build. I ordered a size medium. Love it!
This is a great little dress and the perfecf spring/summer staple. It can be dressed up with a blazer and heels for work, or paired with some flats or sandals for a casual day out. Fits very well and is very flattering.
I'm 5'8" and 130 pounds and I ordered a medium. Just didn't like the way it fit. It flared out way too much for my liking. Wasn't flattering on me. I returned it. Really nice material though.
This dress is so comfy! I think it's an appropriate yet flattering length for a petite body. I am 5'0 and I bought a size xsmall, the dress is just above my knees. The material is stretchy and extremely forgiving. My only problem is the stitching popped out a bit on the waist band.
Still trying to figure it out if this dress is flattering on me as it flares out a bit, but it's super comfy!

Team preview: East Carolina
Blue Ribbon Yearbook previews the 2005-06 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
(Information in this team report is as of October 1.)
These newfangled driving directions on the Internet, they're so inaccurate. They still list the distance between Charlottesville, Va., and Kinston, N.C. as 263 miles. Those who have actually run the route know better -- it's 20 years.
At the end of the 1984-85 season, a scruffy grad assistant at the University of Virginia named Ricky Stokes trundled off to seek his own professional fortunes. Tucked away in his luggage was five years' worth of education (four as a player) gleaned from Stokes' coach and mentor at Virginia, Terry Holland.
Twenty years later, after stops at Bowling Green, Wake Forest, Virginia (again), Texas, Virginia Tech and South Carolina, Stokes and Holland are finally able to compare notes. As East Carolina's athletics director, Holland hoisted Stokes on board as the new men's basketball coach on March 16, 2005. Stokes replaces Bill Herrion, who went 70-98 in six years at ECU.

For your daily dose of cuteness, please enjoy this clip of a hamster dining solo on miniburritos, custom made by Los Angeles food writer Farley Elliott of Over Over Under. Do not overlook the attention to details, namely the dental mirror checking out the burrito from every angle and also the poker-chip plate.
Go ahead; explode with glee. Now, I wonder if this hamster is a fan of tiny sushi.

Ubisoft recently notified the press that it wasn't going to send out early copies of The Crew. Instead,
But fear not, as Brittany Vincent and I have obtained copies of The Crew, and while she's hard at work giving you the full rundown in the future, I'm here to give a few quick thoughts for all of you who haven't picked up your pre-orders yet.view full story + comments
Geometry Wars games have always been, in a sense, one-dimensional. They present the player with the seemingly simple task of "shoot everything in sight," and that's the sole objective apart from staying alive. The onslaught of flying colors and booming music molds the experience, but the core remains uncomplicated. For many, that's enough to be held in the highest regard when discussing twin-stick shooters.
In 2008, the heralded Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 vastly and competently iterated upon its predecessor. It added a handful of new modes, each one legitimately fun and addictive in its own right. But more importantly, it fueled sincere and passionate competition across online leaderboards -- a social dynamic that few games since have been able to recapture. In many ways, it was the perfect game.
All hyperbole aside, Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions makes Retro Evolved 2's efforts look puny by comparison. It adds depth in so many more ways than just literally, but never strays from the formula that makes Geometry Wars incredibly lovable. It's certainly the most ambitious and fully realized title in the series to date, and it's difficult to imagine a different take that would improve it. In many ways, it is the perfect game.view full story + comments
Far Cry 3 was one of my favorite games of 2012. It didn't stray too far from the normal sandbox conventions set before it, but gallivanting around beautiful island vistas and flying about with wingsuits was pretty damn fun.
For some that wasn't enough, though, and for those folks, Far Cry 4 won't be enough either. But for me, it's still pretty damn fun.view full story + comments
Ever since its 2007 debut, the Assassin's Creed franchise has been presented as a one-sided affair. Chronicling the persistent struggle between the Assassins and the Templars, Ubisoft has always framed the story casting the former in a positive light. Assassin's Creed Rogue has a new take on that formula, which, in some ways, makes it the most refreshing, thought-provoking, and introspective installment in the series to date.
Unfortunately, it's also the laziest.view full story + comments
Dragon Age II felt like a great action game that was outsourced to a lesser developer. It lacked the polish BioWare typically puts into its titles, and almost the entire affair felt like a gigantic step back from everything Origins had established. What was once a promising franchise that reminded me of the glory days of RPGs such as Baldur's Gate became a shadow of its former self, with lazily re-used assets and no sense of scale.
BioWare went back to the drawing board with Inquisition, the third Dragon Age outing, and the game is all the better for it. It feels like a culmination of its predecessors' strengths, with all of the bells and whistles that come with current-gen hardware.view full story + comments
There's certainly been intrigue surrounding Resident Evil: Revelations 2. Since its existence was leaked a few months back and several cryptic images of a derelict prison made the rounds, there has been speculation about what to expect from this installment. And, with the return of characters from other titles, there is evidently a larger focus on linking things back to the series' past.
Its predecessor, Resident Evil: Revelations, felt very much like a back-to-basics approach to the series, which earned a lot favor from fans. With the upcoming sequel, more characters from the past are brought back to the forefront and are drawn into a greater conspiracy. Obviously, this isn't entirely new for the franchise. However, with the greater focus on mystery in Revelations 2 and how Capcom plans to release the game in episodes, it could give the series a much needed change of pace. After Brett's hands-on time with the sequel back at Tokyo Game Show, he was left unsure of what to expect from the game. And, judging from my own time with it last month, that might be for the best.
This is one title you might want to go into blind.view full story + comments
After the disappointing Call of Duty: Ghosts, Activision needed fresh ideas, and Sledgehammer was just the developer for the job. Even before it delivered its first game, a weight has been lifted off of Infinity Ward and Treyarch's shoulders. No longer does it need to turnaround a Call of Duty every other year, and there is more time to figure out how to make the series fresh again.
As a result, Sledgehammer has a lot riding on Advanced Warfare, the newest game in the series. It has everything going for it -- a fresh futuristic theme, the same core multiplayer gameplay everyone knows and loves, and the talented Kevin Spacey running the show with the campaign.
The gambit paid off, even if it won't bring back in those who have sworn off the series.view full story + comments
Over the weekend, details came out of PAX Australia regarding the first downloadable Vault Hunter for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. At first, it looked to me like a commendable gesture for a series that receives a lot of criticism on its downloadable content policy. To include a new character in addition to the originally promised content for those loyal enough to buy a season pass seemed worthy of applause. However, that image was based on a misinterpretation of the official blog post's line that references "all four of the upcoming add-on content packs," and a few other (incorrect) assumptions.
As it turns out, the Handsome Jack Doppelganger Pack is DLC #1 for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (November 11 is upcoming, after all), and I could only feel more disappointed by that revelation if I had actually purchased this iteration's season pass. My condolences go out to those who did.view full story + comments
With the rise of high-definition re-releases, many fans have likely made a wish list of titles they hope will eventually get the HD treatment. Whether they be classics from the '90s or 2000s, we're seeing a variety of games find new life in today's market. Unfortunately, not every title can make that transition to modern consoles, be it for technical or design reasons.
Thankfully, Resident Evil is an exception. During a special hands-on session with the game, I experienced what it was like to return the mansion in full HD, and even got to speak with members of Capcom staff to learn about the challenges they faced with Remastered.
They certainly had their work cut out for them.view full story + comments
One of the biggest surprises of 2014 had to be the announcement of a Legend of Korra game, published by Activision and developed by Platinum Games. Yes, that Platinum Games -- the current master of action titles.
It's only been a few months since the reveal of said Korra game, and already it's out on just about every platform imaginable outside of the Wii U. While the core result is indicative of Platinum's seal of quality, it feels rushed in many ways.view full story + comments

Fantasia holds a special place in my heart. My wife and I both grew up playing instruments, and whenever a song comes on from the film, we get to share a little moment as Disney fans. Yes, PhilharMagic is one of our favorite attractions at Disney World.
So when I heart that Harmonix was making a Fantasia game, I got excited -- until I heard that it had at least one song by Drake in it. Of course, my full judgment was reserved for the finished product, and I found it to be a magical experience overall.view full story + comments
I grew up happily playing Shinji Mikami's games, and he's probably one of the most influential directors/producers that ever lived. I remember the first time I played Resident Evil, the day I bought Devil May Cry from EB Games, and the exact moment when my friend showed me God Hand.
All in all Mikami has worked on over 20 major games that have impacted the industry in some way. Even if The Evil Within is one of the worst in the bunch, it's still in good company.view full story + comments
Back in 2012, Far Cry 3 turned out to be a surprise hit for Ubisoft. It became the bestselling title of the series, appearing on many game of the year lists, and also created a rather excellent spin-off title. But with the announcement of Far Cry 4 back in May, many fans were pretty psyched to have a new game exploring another exotic locale, but also surprised to see something come so quickly.
With the reveal and release happening within six months of one another, it all seems like it has been going too quickly, and we've never really had the opportunity to digest something substantial for the game. Thankfully, Ubisoft agreed and allowed some extended hands-on time with the upcoming open-world shooter. After experiencing some time with the game's open-world, I can say that November is certainly going to be interesting month with this title coming to market.
[Disclosure: Anthony Burch, one of the writers for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, was previously employed at Destructoid. As always, no relationships, personal or professional, were factored into the review.]
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I can imagine that mantra circulating the 2K Australia office as the team worked on Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Gearbox had a huge hit on its hands with Borderlands 2, and there is not much reason to mess with a winning formula.
To be clear, a lot of what matters is new. The story, playable characters, environments, dialogue, and physics are all new. Despite that, it all feels very familiar. Where a number of core systems were significantly upgraded between the first and second games in the series, The Pre-Sequel's additions are much less pronounced.
One odd aspect of some of the new content that this entry brings to the vault hunting universe is that it feels more like Borderlands than Borderlands 2 in some ways, for better and for worse.view full story + comments
It's really not all that long until Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel comes out, and you've already made a grave mistake. You didn't call dibs on Claptrap. Know how I know that? Because I'm writing this post right now. If you called dibs, I'd be doing something dumb like whatever dumb thing you're doing in your dumb life this very second.
But you didn't. I did. For whatever reason, my peers have laid claim to the three characters in the game not worth fighting over. Darren misguidedly called Athena, Chris dun goofed by picking Wilhelm, and Abel most likely got comedically knocked upside the head by a two-by-four just prior to choosing Nisha. Let them; their poor judgment will be their undoing. I have dibs on Claptrap.view full story + comments
Two years ago, Chris, Tara, Conrad, and Andy each called dibs on a Vault Hunter for Borderlands 2 before I ever could, and so I was never able to play it. All I could do was sit there looking at my copy, wishing I had called dibs first. I will not make that same mistake twice.
I have dibs on Athena. Simply put, Athena is the best. Don't worry, there are three other perfectly okay Vault Hunters for you to choose from. You should be all right, I guess. Anyway, here's why Athena is the best and I call dibs on her.view full story + comments

FAA Air Traffic Control System Vulnerable to Cyberattacks
Homeland Security Today (03/03/15) Vicinanzo, Amanda
According to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit report, security weaknesses in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) information security program place the nation's air traffic control system at risk of being hacked. The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 requires federal agencies to enforce a security program that provides a framework for implementing controls at the agency, but FAA's implementation of the program is incomplete. GAO found that FAA "did not always sufficiently test security controls to determine that they were operating as intended; resolve identified security weaknesses in a timely fashion; or complete or adequately test plans for restoring system operations in the event of a disruption or disaster." The reports stated that FAA will face major challenges and major weaknesses will persist until the agency develops an organization-wide strategy. The FAA agreed with the 17 recommendations made by the GAO, which the GAO stated have the possibility to "compromise the safety and efficiency of the national airspace system."

QR Codes Engineered Into Cybersecurity Protection
University of Connecticut (02/26/15) Poitras, Colin
University of Connecticut researchers led by professor Bahram Javidi want to use quick response (QR) codes to protect national security. They are using advanced three-dimensional optical imaging and extremely low-light photon counting encryption to transform a conventional QR code into a high-end cybersecurity application that can be used to protect the integrity of computer microchips. The researchers found they were able to compress information about a chip's functionality, capacity, and part number directly into the QR code so it can be obtained by the reader without accessing the Internet, which Javidi says is an important cybersecurity breakthrough because linking to the Internet greatly increases vulnerability to hacking or corruption. The researchers also applied an optical-imaging mask that scrambles the QR code design into a random mass of black-and-white pixels. Another layer of security is then added through a random phase photon-based encryption, which converts the snowy image into a darkened image with just a few random dots of pixilated light.

Universities Start Programs to Develop Cybersleuths
Security InfoWatch (03/02/15) Forster, Dave
George Mason University is now offering what it says it the world's first undergraduate degree in cybersecurity engineering. There are currently 64 students enrolled in the program. Old Dominion University (ODU), meanwhile, pulled faculty and staff from a range of disciplines to form the Center for Cyber Security Education and Research, which launched March 2. In January, Norfolk State University was tapped by White House officials to lead a consortium of 12 historically black colleges and universities, two national labs, and one South Carolina school district with the goal of educating students in cybersecurity. ODU hopes to promote new approaches to research by drawing from different disciplinary backgrounds. For example, psychology, understanding why some people click on a link they should not click on could help protect systems against poor decision-making. The consortium led by Norfolk State received a $25 million federal grant, and most of it will go toward creating workers who are knowledgeable about cybersecurity. In the fall, Norfolk State will add an online master of science degree in cybersecurity.

What is a Doritaenopsis or Dpts.?
michigoose(Z5OH)January 1, 2013
A Doritaenopsis (often abbreviated as Dpts.) is a cross between two closely related genus--a Doritis and a Phalaenopsis. Recently, taxonomists have been debating whether or not a Doritis should be included in the Phalaenopsis genus as it is very closely related.

The SEC Had Best Watch out for LB Reggie Chevis
Reggie Chevis, Texas A&M commit, is a special talent and gifted linebacker out of Sharpstown (Houston, Texas). Although he's started to get noticed by high school football fans across the country, it wasn't always easy to go unnoticed.
Every star athlete has a defining moment in his or her life and Chevis had his last January.
"It was when I got invited to the All-American combine in San Antonio this past January. I was named to the top performers list there and turned a lot of heads. I was going hard the whole time. After that I was on the map. I got my first offer from Boise State and it just picked up from there," says Chevis.
Offers started rolling in soon after Chevis started to impress coaches across the country. The 6'2, 235 lbs star received interest from many top schools including: Arizona, Arizona state, Arkansas, Baylor, Boise State, California, Colorado, Houston, Illinois, Iowa State and LSU.
After carefully looking through his options, Chevis decided to commit to Texas A&M on December 12, 2012.
Although the Houston native found success in football, it wasn't easy for the star at first. He came into his first camp with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove to the world.
"I was ready. I had a big chip on my shoulder. No one had really heard about me and I didn't like that. I felt like I had to prove so much and there was no way I wasn't gonna prove it," says Chevis.
I'm really looking forward for Chevis to hit Texas A&M's football field next season. He's a hard worker and has a motor that will take him very far at the college level and hopefully in the pros.

Dubai has named a new governor for the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the state news agency WAM reported on Monday, without giving a reason for the change.
July 26, 2011 9:56 by Reuters
Abdullah Mohammed Saleh, who has served as chairman of the Dubai Financial Services Authority — DIFC's regulator — was appointed as DIFC's governor by the emirate's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the agency reported.
Saleh replaces Ahmed Humaid Al Tayer, a prominent figure in Dubai, one of the seven members of the United Arab Emirates.
In late June, Dubai's ruler named his uncle and close adviser Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum as chairman of Emirates NBD , the UAE's largest bank by assets, also replacing Tayer.
The DIFC, launched in 2004, is a financial free zone home to 800 active registered firms, including 18 of the top 25 global banks, global asset managers, insurers and law firms.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- U.S. exchange operator CME Group CME, -0.39% said late Wednesday it is raising the margin requirements for trade in a wide range of gold products, effective Thursday. The speculative margin requirement for a new position in Comex 100 gold futures will rise to $7,425 from $6,075, or to $5,500 from $4,500 for existing "current maintenance" margins. However, benchmark gold futures extended their rise in the wake of the announcement. Comex gold for December delivery GC1Z rose to $1,807 an ounce from its $1,784 New York settlement level Wednesday, ahead of the CME announcement.

Solar Bill
Mar 5th, 2008 by solarbill
My qualifications, hobbies and interests.
I first became involved in the solar business in 1979 by getting a job with a solar water heating company where I was living in Florida. When I moved to Ojai in 1980 I started looking for a way to continue doing solar. I worked for a number of small companies, the most notable was Aptec, John Ericsson's solar water heating company for whom I installed systems for about a year.
In 1984 I got contractors license, plumbing with a solar sub class as there was no solar class at that time. This is when I started Prime Solar Co. It has been in continuous operation since then. In 1986 when the solar license became available I added the C-46 solar classification to my license.
We have installed over 100 solar water heaters at a time when solar was not popular. We are installing more every year. As one of the few solar water heating experts we are keeping many of the systems originally installed in the 80′s going, long after most of the installers are out of business. These old systems have paid for themselves many times over.
Since the solar electric rebate program went into effect we have installed over 50 systems. Some as small as 2Kw and some as large as 98kW.
I have helped the contractors' state license board write the test for the solar license. I just came back from my third two day workshop to do this in Sacramento. There were four contractors who checked questions and found the relevant sections in the code.
I have been involved in legislation to make the rebate program work better.
Prime Solar is a member of CalSeia California Solar Energy Industries Association.
The most relevant hobby of mine to installing solar is my passion for music. I have been designing and building Hi-Fi systems for at least the past 20 years. I ventured into the market in the late 1990`s. I built an output transformerless amplifier that I thought sounded much better than some units many times the price. This passion has given me a deep understanding of electronics. If you want to see some of what I was doing check out:
I have been practicing Aikido for over 25 years. It keeps me in shape both mentally and physically. It is a good meditation and has taught me how to use my body more effectively. The philosophy of Aikido is non confrontation. Instead of meeting force with force, allow that force to be and use it to your advantage. This is a perfect model for human relations as well. The dojo I practice at is:
I ride a Honda VFR800 as much as the weather permits, it gets about 35 MPG meets the 2008 European smog standards and is fun.
I have been learning to fly small planes.

The results came back and they are pretty impressive. In less than 10 weeks, members switched more 1,708 month-end statements.
- 1,708 new trees ready to be planted along local waterways.
- Reduction of 41,000 sheets of paper, enough to form a ribbon seven miles long.
- Nearly $1,000 saved on stamps, envelopes, and printing of paper statements.
Spokane Teachers Credit Union helps tree planting effort with the Lands Council
I'm a little late in reporting this Earth Day news but last Monday the Spokane Teachers Credit Union launched a cool campaign for members who want to switch to paper-saving electronic account statements. Why is it so cool other than simply saving paper? It will actually help plant trees.
From STCU: For every member who makes the switch from paper statements to e-statements between April 22 and June 30, STCU will donate the money to plant one tree along Deep Creek, Coulee Creek and Hangman Creek (also called Latah Creek). Work will be done in North Idaho, as well, although exact locations have not been selected.
The work is being organized by the Lands Council, which hopes to plant 5,000 trees through its Project SUSTAIN. STCU hopes enough members make the switch to e-statements by June 30 to provide at least 1,000 of those trees.
Up to 400 Inland Northwest high school students will help plant the trees, said Amanda Swan, Lands Council director of development and communications. Students from Mead Alternative School, The Community School, On Track Academy, Lewis and Clark High School, Coeur d'Alene High School and Post Falls High School and St. Maries High School will participate.
Women, climate change topic of Gonzaga environmental series talk
ENVIRONMENT – Sustainability expert Gloria Flora will be in Spokane this week to discuss how women worldwide are confronting the challenge of climate change.
The free public lecture titled, "If You Can't Stand the Heat: Women and the Global Response to Climate Change" at 5:30 p.m., Friday (March 22) in the Wolff Auditorium of Gonzaga University's Jepson Center.
The lecture is part of the Gonzaga Environmental Studies Speaker Series — which recently sponsored Dr. Jane Goodall — and is sponsored by the Gonzaga environmental studies, and women's and gender studies departments.
Read on for more details about Flora and her quest to keep flora and fauna functioning on earth.
West Central Marketplace is seeking vendors for 2012 Season
The West Central Marketplace provides neighborhood access to a wide variety of locally produced goods and services, including farm-fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs grown within the West Central neighborhood. Managed by Project HOPE's Riverfront Farm and Vinegar Flats Community Garden, the West Central Marketplace is actively seeking vendors for the 2012 market season. If you are a local farmer, gardener, artist, craftsperson or food producer seeking an outlet for your products, please consider joining them.
South Perry neighborhood meeting tonight
The South Perry Business and Neighborhood Association meets tonight at the Perry Street Cafe at 6 p.m. Here's a great opportunity to get involved in your neighborhood's dealings - big and small.
On the agenda tonight is the election of a secretary and updates about all the summer events, from the street fair and parade to the community garden and the farmers market.
The farmers market is moving back outdoors in The Shop parking lot on May 19 - hours will be from 3-7 p.m. and the first two weeks will be gardening themed, so bring your questions for master gardeners and other advisors.
The photo is from last year's outdoor market.
Bike To Work Spokane is now "Spokane Bikes"
In terms of my attitude toward cycling to work, I keep coming back to something Bike To Work organizer Barb Chamberlain told the Spokesman a while back: "I think people would be scared off if they had to change their whole life all at once. But it's so doable, once it's part of your routine."
We're all creatures of habit, and it takes a simple event like Bike To Work week to make us realize change is easily within our reach. In addition to the excellent health benefits, especially cardiovascular, we hope readers realize the impact of this alternative commuting method: Biking to work at least four days a week (presumably eight miles, round trip), would save yourself 54 gallons of gas annually and 1,140 pounds of carbon emissions.
But for us, riding a bike is still so much fun. "It's like being a kid again," Chamberlain said, "if you remember when having a bike meant freedom."
I'm happy to report t's that ime again. Bike To Work Week is fast approaching but there are some new changes. First, the name: Spokane Bikes. Read on, from Spokane Bikes:
With our name change, Bike to Work Spokane becomes Spokane Bikes, and we're promoting all of May as Spokane Bike Month.
What does this mean for Bike to Work Week? All our great traditions continue:
Monday, May 16: Kickoff Breakfast with pancakes by Mountain Gear and great Roasthouse Coffee "Ride the Edge" blend
Wednesday, May 18: Energizer Stations around Spokane County hosted by area businesses and organizations
Friday, May 20: The "Bike FROM Work" Wrap-Up Party Friday at the Steam Plant Grill
Two changes:
The old registration system is going away.
Please take about 2 minutes to create your new profile at www.SpokaneBikes.org so you can receive news and updates about Bike to Work Week and other great Spokane-area bike events in May and throughout the year.
Your registration is also important as a way of being counted so policy makers know we're here and we need infrastructure!
Lots to look forward to on South Perry
This year's street fair is taking place on July 16-18 and it's Geoff White of The Perry Street Cafe who's the chair. Volunteers and ideas are always needed to pull off this community event - stay tuned for more updates - or leave a comment with a good suggestion here.
And don't forget that the South Perry Farmers' Market opens on June 3, from 3-7 p.m., in The Shop's parking lot. It's the market's fifth season already.
The South Perry Blog and yours truly will be at The Perry Street Cafe on Thursday morning, from 7-10 a.m. Come in and chat for a bit - I'll have a small stack of South Voice sections to hand out to the first dozen visitors I get.
Relay for Life Touches Lives
The live band could be heard across town. The fireworks erupted and ignited in the dark of night. A huge crowd of people marched around the track. Simply said, Greyhound Event Center was bustling with a cause Friday night: cancer.
The American Cancer Society's annual event, Relay for Life, was held in Post Falls overnight Friday and well into Saturday. This memorable event started at six o'clock Friday evening and ran until noon Saturday. Volunteer groups, schools, clubs, families, and individuals gathered together to remember those who have passed on, commend those who have survived, and celebrate the cure the future promises.
Those participating were asked to raise funds by having others pledge money for the cause based on the number of laps the participants walked around the track. In addition, groups collectively raised funds with activities, sales, and concessions. The unbelievable monetary and social support for the American Cancer Society makes Relay for Life memorable and unique.
Greenwashing is defined as the practice where a business tries to make it seem like it's greener than it really is. For consumers to post and rank environmental advertisements in the hope of differentiating the misleading ones from the honest, we suggest The Greenwashing Index which recently refreshed it's website.
Site Goal #1: Help consumers become more savvy about evaluating environmental marketing claims of advertisers. Site Goal #2: Hold businesses accountable to their environmental marketing claims. Site Goal #3:Stimulate the market and demand for sustainable business practices that truly reduce the impact on the environment.
For a one-year anniversary, on February 6th, Portland will host a workshop called "The Greenwashing Forum: Crafting Honest Messages in a Green World," consisting of journalists, marketing leaders, educators and consumer advocates. "Our objective here is to push on the greenwashing issue and, by doing that, set an example for the world to see," said Deborah Morrison, University of Oregon professor, site developer and forum organizer. "Portland is certainly the thought-leader capital of best practices for a green economy. We want to use that energy and make a statement through what's accomplished at the forum."
Last year we actually threw a daily tip about Larry David and water conservation to the fate of their Greenwashing index scale. Scoring a 2.91, the comments ranged from "this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen" to "makes a good case for being bald I guess?"
See, they're hard to fool. Consumers and the planet are better off for it.
(Side note: DTE loves Larry David, a peculiar sentiment for an environmentalist. David, the co-creator of "Seinfeld," found relatable humor in selfishness and "nothingness," obsessing over the trivial minutiae of everyday life. He is either funny or annoying. But there's a little Larry in all of us, and we couldn't help but laugh when he said "the bald have been pioneers in water conservation" in the ad.)

Venus. But I voted for Na. :oh:

Na Li
Jun 16th, 2011, 09:54 AM
my bad was meant to put serena in there instead of schiavone. :sad: no disrespect intended toward serena, just vote the other option and specify.
Jun 16th, 2011, 09:55 AM
Wishing: Wozniacki. If and when Caroline loses I'll support Li Na.
Thinking: Sharapova or one of the Williams sisters.
Jun 16th, 2011, 10:02 AM
Serena, obviously.
She finds her serve, and no one can beat her. And I'm confident it will make its grand appearance by the second week.
Jun 16th, 2011, 10:31 AM
Some questions about Serena this year. Venus looks good. Li, Sharapova, Kvitova, then the next group is
Caro, Vika, Vera, Sam, Fran, Marion, Sveta, Sabine, Jelena

Miss Amor
Jun 16th, 2011, 10:35 AM
I wish I was as confident as some of you who think Serena's serve is going to miraculously comeback and help her win the title. Dont expect her to play in-form till atleast the USO (she barely picked up the racket a month ago). I would be awesome if she can somehow win it, but I really don't see it happening. Will be happy with anything above R4.
Na has a good chance, so does Venus.

Can't vote against Venus on grass, but still too early to say anything with just two matches to go on.
Jun 16th, 2011, 11:10 AM
Serena, obviously.
She finds her serve, and no one can beat her. And I'm confident it will make its grand appearance by the second week.
The biggest wildcard...if Serena finds her serve during the tournament, then indeed..it's gonna be very very difficult to beat her. We'll see.
Venus looked pretty good yesterday too.
Jun 16th, 2011, 11:17 AM
Zvonareva v Kvitova final....I think Zvonareva will win it.

Watch Pironkova get to the final this year than go on to lose 20 matches in a row.
Jun 16th, 2011, 01:50 PM
Kvitova :haha:
I think Masha should take this otherwise I´d say Venus has the best shot.
But I don´t think they are able to win 7 consecutive matches yet. Especially Serena doesn´t seem to be ready.
Jun 16th, 2011, 01:58 PM
Jelena always in the polls. :lol:
But she'll justify it this time. :cool:

Jun 16th, 2011, 02:09 PM
Maria Sharapova!!!!!
Jun 16th, 2011, 02:21 PM
Jankovic and Schiavone in the poll but not Serena.
I'm going to vote for Azarenka just to spite her.
Jun 16th, 2011, 02:33 PM
Zvonareva v Kvitova final....I think Zvonareva will win it.
:spit: :haha:
i voted for na li.

it's between GrassPova and Li Na, obviously

Maria you gotta see her!!! Wimbledon Winner 2011 you heard it here first!!
Jun 16th, 2011, 04:34 PM
This is really the most wide open it's been in a while. Li Na, Kvitova and Sharapova are all reasonable candidates. I'll never rule out a Williams sister on grass though.
Jun 17th, 2011, 04:45 AM
Hopefully Serena will be more of a factor than she is in this poll :lol:
Jun 17th, 2011, 05:49 AM
Serena,Venus,Li,Maria,Petra. One of these five will get the title. Hopefully, Li will make it.

I really hope Serena to take this one. She's such a fighter and always fights till the last point in every match. I also vote for Venus too:)

Ana Ivanovic traditionally have very bad luck with GS draws, so in previous three major tournaments winner always coming from Ana's quarter (USO-Kim, AO-Kim, RG-Li), so I think this "Ana curse" will continue. Despite Na Li is best seeded player from Ana quarter and player with best GS achievements this season so far (W & RU), I think player from Ivanovic quarter with biggest chances for Wimbledon 2011 title is still Serena Williams.
Talking about another "tradition" lets talk about pathetic TF www GS polls. I really want to congrats :p thread starter for creating another biased poll without option to vote for best XXI century WTA player which won this tournament several times, including last two (in 2009 and 2010). :tape:

Dan Reynolds' review of Bibliothèque Typographique's

Dan Reynolds' review of Bibliothèque Typographique's
first book, José Mendoza y Almeida
Teaching on a postgraduate course feels very much like a spiral: the annual repetition of projects, each a vehicle for a journey of education and discovery for the student, blurs into cyclical clouds of shapes, paragraphs, and personalities. There seems to be little opportunity for reflection across student cohorts, and yet it is only this process that improves the process from one year to the next. Having passed the tenth anniversary of the MA Typeface Design programme was as good an opportunity as any to reflect, and ILT's offer to publish the result an ideal environment to get some ideas out in the open. Although my perspective is unavoidably linked to the course at Reading, I think that the points I make have wider relevance.

In 1983 Rudy VanderLans, Zuzana Licko, Marc Susan, and Menno Meyjes began Emigre, a magazine about "…the global artist who juggles cultures, travels between them, and who is fluent in the cultural symbols of the world. An émigré."[1] Early issues meandered through essays, interviews, fiction and poetry. VanderLans directed wild layouts that ignored the so-called rules instilled by modernist design pedagogues. After four issues Susan and Meyjes had left the magazine, allowing VanderLans and Licko to steer Emigre toward being a design magazine that explored experimental and usually computer-driven work like their own.
Large or small, letters seem to inhabit their own universe. Re-arrangeable in any combination, they can spell out all conceivable messages, be they poetic, bureaucratic, or anything in between. But sometimes a text is just about its letters themselves, not an object to be read, but one to be looked at. Type specimens have taken various forms over the centuries, from posters to postcards and from primers to pamphlets. In fact, this web 'page' that you are reading now is also a type specimen, at least of some sort. In our digital age, creating type specimens has become easier than ever before. But what did our predecessors do 100 years ago, or even 500 years ago?

This is the doorway to The Claremount, an apartment building in Manhattan. I think that it was built in the 1890s. Those letters over the door just reached out and grabbed me from across the street and I had a typeface coming on.
Artist Joseph Kosuth's 1965 work One and Three Chairs presented a static composition that represents an idea three ways. It was heady stuff, addressing what conceptual artists saw as a crisis of reconciling the realization of concepts with the concepts. One of the three material representations in One and Three Chairs was an enlarged photostat of the dictionary definition of the word chair, making text both a literal and metaphorical focus in a work of art. It was not the first time text had been used in art, but it was a key moment in the conceptual art movement of the time, followed by decades of conceptual artists using text to convey their ideas.
Perhaps the most difficult part in compiling this list is not what to include, but what to leave out. There are, then, many other typefaces that should be in this list, but aren't. Perhaps some of your favourites from 2009 coincide with mine; perhaps they don't — I'd love to hear about them in the comments below. Without further ado:
Hoping that everyone is feeling refreshed, invigorated and inspired after Christmas and New Year. That we are now in 2010 is arbitrary, but it is at the same time a marker, the end of something, and the beginning of something else; a kind of armistice, an opportunity to dump all the bad, and begin a anew with the good. Well, that's quite enough verbiage from me. May I present to you the first week in type of the 10s.
I sometimes forget that not every one of the world's 6-point-whatever billion inhabitants is on Twitter, so I never announced the Font Game here on ILT. For those who haven't heard:
Vesper was developed over the course of almost three years. For this article, I've divided the process into two stages: #1 during my studies at the University of Reading; and #2 After Reading. Hopefully through this highly-condensed-yet-still-rather-wordy account of this project you will learn some interesting bits regarding my first major type family, the design process, and the MATD program.
I don't usually do these single-item posts, but just had to share this. An alphabet created using items from the Mitchell Library's broad and eclectic collections—with wonderful results. Some of the letters are accompanied by videos explaining the origins of their constituent parts.
In celebration of their centenary.

Yakov G. Chernikov (1889–1951), was a Russian artist, designer, and architect learned in classical and modern styles. As a draftsman he was on par with Piranesi and Rembrandt; his most forward-thinking drawings resemble the style of Yoshitaka Amano. This combination of knowledge and skill made him one of the most accomplished Russian Constructivist writers and architects; Chernikov designed sixty buildings—although most were not built—and wrote numerous books about architecture and graphic design.
In the late 1920s the state-controlled world of Soviet architecture began to turn against the Constructivists. In 1932 Stalin tired of the pointless political debate between Constructivism's remaining supporters and many critics. He barred architects from political speech and limited Soviet architecture to classical revival. Unable to practice in his Constructivist style, Chernikov began drawing architectural fantasies that were usually not intended to be built. But he still needed work free from politics and in the 1940s he began to study and draw typefaces, an activity unlikely to draw attention.
Nadine Chahine is a type designer for Linotype GmbH, where she is also Branding & CI Manager, and Arabic Specialist. She designed Frutiger Arabic with Adrian Frutiger and Palatino Arabic with Hermann Zapf, for which she won the Certificate of Excellence in Type Design from the TDC. Today I'm excited to announce that Nadine's Neue Helvetica Arabic has just this minute been released.

Pink-headed Fruit Dove (Ptilinopus porphyreus)
Also known as the Pink-necked fruit dove or Temminck's fruit dove, the pink-headed fruit dove is a colorful species of pigeon that is endemic to the mountain forests of Sumatra, Java and Bali. Although pink-headed fruit doves generally are shy and secretive they are known to form pairs and occasionally larger flocks. Like other fruit doves this species feeds mostly on fruit, figs and small berries which it locates high in the canopies. Pink-headed fruit doves are sexually dimorphic with males sporting their famous pink head and green back, females on the other hand are duller than the males and have a weaker breast band.
Although the pink-headed fruit dove is currently listed as least concern it faces threats from habitat loss, as its very small native range is shrinking.
