Time to head to
the countryside and pay a visit to the
laidback Oahu North Shore!
A one hour drive will take you from the bustling Waikiki to
the rural countryside. You know you're close when you pass the Dole Plantation,
and travel through the pineapple fields. Continue driving down
the ridge, as you admire the
impressive view of the North
Shore of Oahu. Roll down your windows, and breathe the fresh
salty air, as you arrive at the rustic old Haleiwa Town.
It's time to slow down and relax when you reach Historic Haleiwa Town. Grab a Hawaiian shave ice, check out the Hawaiian art galleries, and shops before continuing on to the famous Northshore beaches.
I never get tired visiting North Shore Oahu. There's a different style and way of life in this part of the island that's hard to put into words –it's something you just have to experience to appreciate.
Talking with artist Roy Taisora, who owns his own gallery in the North Shore , I believe he put it best when he advised to "slow down when you arrive in the North Shore and the magic will appear… You will be treated to the small island life".
I enjoy popping into small but well represented art
galleries, ducking
into small roadside island cafes, buying trinkets for my little girl
and checking out the surf gear at the rustic surf
Make sure to stop by and visit Roy Taisora's gallery along with the other half dozen galleries in Haleiwa town, including the famous works of the artist Wyland. If you are interested in picking up a piece of Hawaiian art work, this is the place to do it.
You'll find that it is about
50% less expensive than purchasing it back
in Waikiki.
Also make a point to visit renowned artist, Kim Taylor Reece Gallery,
outside of Haleiwa, in an area called Sacred Falls,
Kim has captured the beauty of the Hula performance in sepia-toned black and white photography. His enlarged photographs that he lovingly calls murals are very captivating and will leave you with a larger appreciation for what the Hawaiian Hula dancers and their performances are all about.
The Kim Taylor Reece gallery is about 20 minutes east of Turtle Bay Oahu Resort & 5 minutes away from the Polynesian Cultural Center, and is a special treat worth visiting.
The Polynesian
Cultural Center is also a popular Oahu
attraction that is close by, and has enough shows, activities, shops
and luau that you could spend all day here!
Beyond the galleries filled with Hawaiian art work, I love the
character of the old surf
shops with the retired long boards that line
up against the entrance walls. Even if you are not into
surfing, you might appreciate the nostalgia that's lying around these
There is also a neat surf
museum located in Haleiwa Town called
the North Shore Surf and Cultural Museum. It
captures the
history of surfing on Oahu North Shore,
with antique surfboards, ancient artifacts, daily showing of movies and
other surf nostalgia.
It's easy to find the popular North Shore Shrimp Truck, as there are probably about 30 or more spread throughout North Shore-Oahu. They are all about the same so go ahead and stop when you see one so you can fulfill your craving to snack on a bucket of shrimp. The garlic shrimp is a crowd favorite.
Don't get too full on shrimp because you'll need to save some of your appetite for mouth-watering shave ice!
Make sure you stop at the popular
Hawaiian Shave Ice shop. A trip to
Haleiwa town
just isn't complete without indulging in this ultimate Hawaiian
Take a stroll through the Matsumoto's video, and order a yummy shave ice!
Matsumoto's is by far the most famous, but if you wish
not to stand in the long line, then jump next door to Aoki's
Shave Ice (reopening in late 2014)
BEST Hawaiian Shave Ice TIP:
Where ever you end up, just make sure you request a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the bottom of your cone –trust me, it takes your Hawaiian shave ice experience to a whole new level!
If Hawaiian shave ice just doesn't cut it for you, then maybe Ted's Bakery's famous pies just might fulfill that sweet tooth.
note that these are not just everyday pies that you can find anywhere,
but special pies with
Hawaiian local flavors like Haupia (coconut),
Chocolate Huapia (most popular) & Pineapple Cheese.
Everyone loves the Chocolate Haupia, my family's favorite is the
I would recommend buying a whole pie versus just a
slice, or eat a slice while you are there, so you still have the
ability to return and buy more before you leave.
Leaving Haleiwa Town, you have two choices as you head out to the beaches.
Turning left and heading west, will take you an isolated and beautiful side of Oahu North Shore called Mokuleia.
Turning right will take you across the famous twin-spanned
Haleiwa bridge,
which is the gateway to some of Hawaii's most popular
beaches. Waimea
Bay Beach Park, Ehukai Beach Park (Banzai
Pipeline), and Sunset Beach Oahu are the main event
in the
wintertime, when the waves are towering at 30 ft plus faces.
Finally, don't miss a
breathtaking Oahu waterfall across the street
from Waimea Bay Beach Park. It's
located in the
Waimea Valley
Audubon Center (formally known and sometimes still referred to
Falls Park").
There is a small entrance fee to these
botanical gardens, but well worth the admission to stroll the grounds
with over 300 species of tropical plants and a stunning view of a 50ft
waterfall at the end of the trail.
Other things to do on Oahu North Shore are: North Shore Scuba
Diving, Northshore
Golf Courses
Because the attractions are spread through out Oahu North Shore, it's best to rent a car to get around, and see everything on your own time.
There are lots of charter tours available to get you out to the main attractions, but you lose part of the whole feeling of what the North Shore Oahu is about.
Taking the Oahu
bus is also an option, but again, you will lose much time
getting on
and off the Oahu bus at destination points. If you choose the
bus as a means of transportation, I would recommend stopping in Old
Haleiwa Town, and then choosing just one of the North Shore beaches to
continue traveling on to.
From Waikiki, take the H-1 Freeway
headed West…
Take the H-1 Hwy West to the H-2 Hwy North
Follow the H-2 Hwy to the Kamehameha Hwy (hwy 99)
Take Hwy 99 and continue into Haleiwa Town.
If you wish to by pass Haleiwa and head towards the north shore
then continue on Hwy 99 and merge onto Hwy 83, which will take you to
the coastline.
As you continue on Hwy 83, you will first encounter Waimea Bay Beach Park,
followed by the Banzai Pipeline (Ehukai Beach Park),
and Sunset
Beach Hawaii.
From Waikiki, take the number 98A bus from Waikiki to the Wahiawa
Armory and transfer to Oahu Bus 88A, that will take you out to Haleiwa
Town and to the northshore beaches.
Facilities: Old Haleiwa Town has some of the best Oahu
North Shore restaurants and public restrooms. The famous
Beaches and Waimea
Falls Park also have facilities available.
Start early as traffic builds through out the day, and plan on staying
out there a full day including sticking around to view the sunset at
one of the beaches -Sunset Beach Hawaii didn't get its
name by chance.
I would also recommend
checking out one of the Oahu North Shore
restaurants for dinner. This will allow you to let the
returning traffic to pass, and give you a chance to enjoy a nice ending
to a fun day, versus trying to rush back to Waikiki to get ready for a
late dinner.

Difficulty of healthy eating: a Rasch model approach. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20219277 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
This study aims to measure the difficulty of healthy eating as a single latent construct and, within that, assess which dietary guidelines consumers find more or less difficult to comply with using the Rasch model approach. Participants self-reported their compliance with 12 health-promoting dietary recommendations related to cooking methods and consumption of specific food items. Data were drawn from a survey elicited using a longitudinal consumer panel established in the City of Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 2008. The panel consists of 1962 randomly-selected residents of Guelph between the age of 20 and 69 years. The response rate was equal to 68 percent. The main assumptions of the Rasch model were satisfied. However, subsequent differential item functioning analysis revealed significant scale variations by gender, education, age and household income, which reduced the validity of the Rasch scale. Conversely, these scale variations highlight the importance of socio-economic and demographic factors on the difficulty of healthy eating. |

My only concern as a Grandmaster was that if I left for 6+ months, my points would expire... and then coming back, I'd have to spend cash to buy issues. They solved that with an auto-buy each issue as available option. While I might lose some leftover points, I'm far more concerned about ensuring I get the issues (which really were sorta part of the Grandmaster subscription). |

Originally posted by Simsu No people don't seem to be noticing it. Why? I have no idea. A developer knows whether their game will have a lasting appeal. They know full well whether over the long haul they'd end up making more money with sub based deals or lifetime deals. If they offer lifetime deals right off the bat, then they assume that is the more profitable route and they hope people will buy them. Why? Because they know full well they'll earn more money that way than by charging subs over time. They know they only have a few months worth of content. If they can get a bulk some of money out of someone they are glad to have it. This is the same thing here. It's the same thing every single time a lifetime is offered. People seem to happily fall for it every time. Then the game goes F2P. After all, if a lot of people bought lifetime subs that's a one time payment. People aren't buying regular subs. A game company has to make its money. So they go F2P hoping to do that. LIFE TIME SUBS are a deal. Its a deal for the developer. Not a deal for you. If by this point people can't get that through their heads, then I'm all for the developer. They've found a great way to make profit on less work. As for the responses here, you have people who are ticked off because they think their money didn't pay off. They're probably right. Which is almost always the case with a life time sub so you only have yourself to blame. Then there's people who think they got their money's worth. I'm glad for them. Although in reality, its likely most of these folks have just invested too much money in a game to admit they might have made a mistake. They can't bring themselves to admit they might have wasted a good chunk of change. And so the lifetime sub saga continues. Always the same. Never changes. A handful of people will learn from this instance, most won't. As for my advice, it remains the same as always. DO NOT BUY A LIFE TIME SUB. EVER. |
Originally posted by Corehaven The LOTRO lifetime sub was the biggest deal in MMORPG history for the customer, in fact it was too good of a deal because its probably the main reason why in 2010 a game that was #3 in active players (more than Rift has now for example) went f2p. Even now smart lifetime subbers can use it to get their expansions for free by saving their points stipend. |

I yet to play since it went free to play, nor used it to buy anything. Not everybody with lifetime subs is playing lotro. |
Originally posted by erictlewis question is, if you werent playing, how did you know if it was bleeding subs or not? I bet you are one of the people who will tell you its dead now. And of course not everyone who has a lifetime sub is playing. Thanks, captain obvious. |
Originally posted by erictlewis LOTRO did far better as F2P than before. There was a massive injection of players, until they ruined it by releasing a bunch of dud expansions. |

Originally posted by strangiato2112 I was playing until they went free to play. After SOM shadows of murkwood came out a lot of folks left after that dud of an expansion. On the official forums were post like the famous jump the shark post, folks were predecting that it was going free to play, and sapience had told us all they were not going to do that. There were even post with where folks were doing head counts on a daily basis. It was no shock to some of us they went free to play. I had even necroed a thread to say I told you so, where somebody had put a tin foil hat on me. I was invested in that game until we got SOM, and som was a dud followed by that dunland. I understand it is doing a lot better now, but before they went free to play there was a good number of folks who left. There were even post of out with the old, in with the new. A lot of vets who played back when the game was released are no longer playing. So free to play actually saved their game, however it drove a lot of folks off but they were replaced by the new players. |
Originally posted by Corehaven Yeah 'in reality'. I am glad you know what is actually going on in everyone's mind. By the way lifetime subscribers got even a better deal after the new changes with added 10% discount on everything. So nope....lifetime subscribers didn't lose anything infact everything is still the same with added benefits. I wish you guys would do some more reserarch before writing wall of texts based on assumptions. |
Originally posted by erictlewis NEWS FLASH! It's only F2P for people who already bought the game before the change. The thousands of NEW players coming into the game all see it as Buy to Play which is a completely different model. Hearing the incessant complaining from the small handfull of players that were left is mind boggling. Any normal community would be thrilled at the huge influx of new players breathing new life into their game. I honestly think some people would rather see their game die than see it make a change to attract more players. |

I keep asking for an example of what the Lifetime players actually lost in the TSW transition. I keep asking the people who are angry what actually changed with their account and their experience. So far, I haven't gotten an answer. In the case of TSW, where are the people who paid for a lifetime subscription not getting what they paid for? I think I'm forced to agree with you. Nobody is angry that the game went B2P. Everyone is angry that other people get to play the game without a subscription. They aren't losing anything, they just want to maintain the barrier to entry and exclude other people from the game. I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet. |

If you get a $10 expansion for your free points, you've gotten something for free. I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet. |
Originally posted by lizardbones I have been askign the same question but no one is willing to say otherwise. Infact, they had a better deal than before and value for lifetime sub has increased not decreased. Nothing has changed for lifetime subscriber. So if anyone can give some genuine reason why lifetime subscriber got screwed and what have they lost i would really appreciate. |
Originally posted by Wolferider True. Got free points, went to CS and bought some hefty goggles and "the Brain" title right away. CS is pure convinience if you have most of the skills already but I like to be able to shop for funny things. As a lifetimer I feel that the compensation is very adequate. |

Originally posted by kilun They represented their product as a LIFETIME membership.That is NOT implying the game will shut down soon after OR become a free to play soon after. That is MISREPRESENTATION of the product and is illegal.It does of course usually involve a lawyer who can retrieve documents and stuff to prove the point.Timing is key,a business decision of this magnitude does NOT happen over night,it takes time to organize it as PROVEN by many other developers.So this means the decision would have been made most likely 2 months prior maybe even earlier. Your consumer rights also are that a SALES pitch ,example a lifetime sub at a discount,cannot be misleading or deceptive.This is the hard point to prove. Keeping that decision a secret just to get undue money from a customer is again illegal.The problem is proof and most likely takes a good lawyer that can force documents out to prove the point. You can however contact your local consumer rights division.Laws on gaming are so weak,they most likely have nothing concrete to draw on. BTW...many terms in TOS that you virtually sign are not legal and you are not upheld by them.Law ALWAYS precedes anything some big shot lawyer writes up.You cannot make a TOS that excuses from the law. What they have offered is totally worthless,it has a value of ZERO,because you NEVER own virtual items or goods.That money you put up front was NOT intended for cash shop use,it was intended for a game that was represented in a certain mannerism which was not upheld. You can search around and find media outlets who will make phone calls and go after them.They won't like bad media coverage.Crikey maybe?Keywords >>>>misrepresentation ,misleading and deceiving all illegal. http://www.youtube.com/user/Napolianboo#p/u/15/rCYLLQCNc1w |
Originally posted by Wizardry I dont understand why this is so hard to comprehend for these people. You havent lost anything, in fact you have gained more players to group with and an extended lifetime for a game that you supposedly liked enough to pay 200 dollars for. Would you have preferred that they closed the game instead? Because that was the other option. |
I know at least 4 people in game have bought lifetime subs now the game has gone B2P because the deal you get now is even better than at launch . I guess haters will hate and refuse at all costs to actualy see the facts as they are as a lifer you are now better off than you were last week Win Win . |
Lifer here and I have no regrets. I purchased my lifetime sub knowing there was always the potential the game would change business models. I also bought a lifetime sub because I was really enjoying my time there and didn't want to have to worry about subbing/resubbing as my game play time is very limited. With that said, I feel the compensation is more than fair. I still get content for free. I get even better discounts from the store and even more perks. I honestly think any lifer who is upset over the change were probably regretting his/her purchase before they even announced B2P. This is just an excuse to scream loud. |
Pretty much you guys who bought LT subs got screwed, and I bet there is little you can do to "get back" at them....other than never do it again. And I thought I got screwed buying SWTOR CE; which I did, but you guys got more screwed. Kinda sucks, we all get that lesson at some point though.

What are some new or emerging technologies in the field of criminal justice?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Two technologies that are coming into greater use in the field of criminal justice are GPS tracking devices and unmanned aerial "drones." Both of these are the subject of some controversy.
Both drones and GPS hold out the possibility of being extremely useful to police. A GPS tracker planted on a car can show where that car has been over a period of time. In addition, the GPS devices that are built into cars can do this tracking for the police, as seen here. Drones can give police a much easier way to search a given area or to follow a car, for example. They can stay up for long periods of time and are relatively cheap to operate.
Both of these, then, are new technologies that appear to have significant applications in the field of criminal justice.

The series now shifts to Texas for three games beginning Saturday night. I'm not a Cardinals fan, but kudos to St. Louis for providing an electric atmosphere for the first two games of the Fall Classic. Both games have been low-scoring, nail-biters but we'll see once it shifts to the warmer weather in Texas. I have feeling the Rangers bats are getting ready to erupt just as they have been doing previously in the postseason.

DIY Shamrock Bokeh Lights
DIY Shamrock Bokeh
Tools & Materials:
1. DSLR camera [I am using Canon EOS 60D]
2. Large Aperture Zoom Lens (at least f2.5 or smaller value) with macro function (for shooting tiny dew drops) [I am using Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro Lens]
3. Black craft paper
4. Shamrock paper punch
5. Adhesive tape
6. Dew Drops or holiday lights
With black craft paper, draw a circle big enough to cover the filter diameter of the lens. Cut.
Cut a strip about 1″ wide, long enough to wrap around the lens.
Fold the circle a little bit so that your puncher can get to the center of the circle. Punch out the shamrock pattern. Unfold.
Glue them up with adhesive tape to make a DIY lens hood.
Fit the lens hood snuggly on the lens to cover the front completely with the shamrock-shaped hood.
Set the shooting mode to "Av", aka aperture priority.
Now, set the aperture to the smallest value that your lens has (f2.5, f1.8 or f1.4) to open up the aperture to the largest opening.
In photography term, this is called Depth of Field (DOF), the bigger the aperture open, the swallower the DOF which means more blurry object outside the focus point.
Find some light sources to take photos, for this instance, it is the reflection on the dew drops. You can use holiday lights too that do not require macro lens.
Set your camera to the biggest zoom value (magnifying) you can and in macro shooting for dew drops.
Either de-focus and point to the lighting source to take a bokeh photo, or, focus at 1 point and let the rest goes bokeh-ly blur.
Happy creating your own bokeh lights!!!

Fast Food Restaurant CEO Andrew Puzder Says Government Doesn't Get It When It Comes to Creating Jobs
October 7, 2011
As the CEO of a fast food company that came roaring back from the brink of bankruptcy, Andrew Puzder knows what makes businesses thrive.
The head of the parent company that operates Hardee's, Carl's Jr., and two other quick service restaurant chains shares his views on job creation and explains how attempts by the government to orchestrate labor markets usually backfire on Wednesday, October 19, 2011, at 6:30 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
Puzder is the author of a new book, Job Creation: How it Really Works and Why Government Doesn't Understand It. He contends that the American private sector has always been the initiator of new employment, and consistently introduced the products and service innovations that put millions of people to work.
CKE Restaurants, Inc. made headlines earlier this year over rumors that it might relocate its corporate offices from California to Texas. Corporate tax rates were among the reasons cited.
The event is co-sponsored by the Show-Me Institute and Sinquefield Charitable Foundation.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the event. RSVP online or call 816.701.3407. Free parking is available at the Library District Parking Garage at 10th & Baltimore.

It's terrifying that we live in a country in which people think it's okay to mess with Girl Scouts. A Portland troop received an order for $24,000 worth of cookies, but it turned out to be a scam. Really, Americans? Really? The Girl Scouts were left with 6,000 boxes of unpaid treats and a loss of faith in humanity. And since they were counting on the sale, it jeopardized their chances to attend summer camp. But after a local television station publicized the story, hundreds of people came out to buy cookies in support. The troop sold 3,000 boxes in one day, and they're expected to sell off the rest. No explanation was given for the scam, but we do know that the culprit was a troop parent's co-worker. No charges are going to be pressed against the fraud "because that person apologized." Gosh, aren't the Girl Scouts the best? [Earlier, NYDN]

Press Release
Tags: live on less, Johnson Hardware, pocket door, wardrobe, , Press Release
Today, resourceful homeowners are creating more space without moving walls. One innovative solution uses heavy-duty sliding door hardware to show how a vacation home benefits from more efficient floor space. The owner of a New Hampshire lake house wanted additional sleeping space for guests. Ira Kirby, of Kirby Custom Carpentry, built a custom Murphy-bed unit using hardware originally designed for wall-mounted sliding doors.
The furniture piece matches the cabinetry used in the surrounding area. It's comprised of four sections; two rolling bookcases in the center and a wardrobe on each end. To use the queen-sized bed, the bookcases roll right and left, covering the wardrobes.
"The homeowner wanted a place for guests to stay. Guests also needed a place to store their clothes and items like snowmobile gear. There's plenty of additional space for books, pictures and knickknacks," Kirby says.
The rolling-bookcase unit Kirby designed was modeled on a Murphy bed he had seen in a store. The owner there pointed him in the direction of Johnson Hardware, manufacturers of hardware for sliding, folding and pocket doors. Kirby's design uses Johnson's heavy-duty 200 Wall Mount Sliding Door Hardware, which can be used with doors up to 300 lbs.
As with many wall-mount door applications, this custom unit uses a valance to tie the design together with a clean, beautiful look. The sliding hardware is mounted to a top edge that runs the length of the four sections. "It needs a valance to hide the whole soffit build-out that the track is attached to, and to hide the wheels and hardware. It's all one top piece," Kirby says.
While this project was the first of its kind for the carpenter, he says it went quite smoothly. "All the diagrams on the Johnson website allowed me to make the cabinets even before I received the hardware. The diagrams were a big help."
The heavy-duty hardware is the only structural contact the bookcases have with the unit. Kirby says one challenge with the design was the swinging of the bookcases since they don't have even weight distribution like a door. "I made a brace on the back to ensure there's no finish damage. It's a toe kick with a 3" reveal underneath the wardrobes, while on the back of the bookcases, I made them come out 3-1/2". There's a little neoprene slide on the back so when you slide the sections, there's no way it will damage the finish on the wardrobes."
While the wardrobes on the custom unit are 22" deep and the bookcases are 11", the amount of usable space in the opening for the bed could also be used for other purposes, such as a computer desk and document storage for a home office. Additional uses could include sewing or scrapbooking stations, or a display for collectibles, certificates or awards.
According to Kirby, the sliding door hardware functions great for his unique application, and he's looking to use it again. "With custom designs, there are endless possibilities for what you can do, even something like sliding screen covers for home theaters," he notes. "I plan on building myself a barn here sooner or later, and it would be great for barn doors."

Starbreeze have recently announced a new Syndicate game, from the previous title which released in 1996, and have given it a firm release date, with an Announcement trailer to match. Starbreeze have developed some stellar titles in the past, such as The Darkness, and The Chronicles of Riddick, so they have some good experience under their belt.
In Syndicate, you take on the role of Miles Kilo, the latest prototype agent from Eurocorp. The game follows him, as he embarks on a brutal action adventure of corruption and revenge. Syndicate has a little twist compared to the usual run and gun FPS style of other games, as players aren't limited to the weapons in their hands. Through the DART 6 bio-chip technology implanted in their head, players can slow down time and 'breach the digital world around them' to take down their foes using a variety of upgradable hacking mechanics.
2069 - No longer governed by politicians, the developed world is divided up into regions controlled by mega-corporations known as syndicates. These syndicates have revolutionized how the consumer interacts with the digital world. Since the consumer requires a device to access the world's data and control technology, they can do this in the blink of an eye via neural chip implant.
Civilians flocked to be "Chip'd" and enjoy all that their selected syndicate has been selected has to offer: housing, medical, banking, insurance, education, entertainment and jobs. One complete package. One complete lifestyle. In return, the syndicates gained unprecedented insights, and control, over the individual and their behavior. With little government oversight, business has become war. The syndicates will stop at nothing for ultimate market dominance.
At the first line of this war are the agents, the syndicate's bio-engineered and chip-augmented enforcers. They can breach anything in the wired dataverse, including their enemies, their weapons and the environment that surrounds them, making them the most efficient and deadly technological weapons in the world.
Syndicate is set to release on the 21st of February, 2012. A four-player co-op mode has also been confirmed.

Bleh. The ONLY UNIQUE PART OF THE ORIGINAL SYNDICATE GAME was the isometric four man squad management dynamic. They've completely ejected the sole, solitary defining characteristic in a storied and revered franchise and replaced it so they can make what...IWishIWereDeusExicate?
I'm sure it'll be a fine game, but I wish they'd keep their filthy paws off my favorite childhood franchises if they aren't going to give them the respect they deserve.

When I first saw the character's intro, it kinda reminded me of Cristian Bale in "Equilibrium". The game looks pretty cool so far. Let's hope it lives to its hype.

Well, Bust My Blue Buttons!
8 comments:
What a great burst of color! Maybe I should try these. I put some ice plants in one of my sunniest, windiest, driest spots -- they're supposed to thrive in that environment. Let's just say there would be plenty of room for some cornflowers.
KZKThese are lovely. I have the perennial cornflower, Centaura montana, which has a similar colour but dies back disgracefully. Maybe I'll try the annuals instead.
I enjoy your blog, by the way. I'd love to see more photos that show your garden design.
LeslieRepliesThanks Leslie for the kind words about the blog. Funny, now that you suggest it, I guess I don't have a place that shows "my garden" although I've posted photos of most of it at one time or another. Try clicking the category of "Flint Hills Gardening" at the right and paging down....most of them are there, showing the front and the back gardens in a number of posts; for instance, one titled "Blessed Rain" has an overall of my back garden beds from my bedroom window (excluding the landscape bed along the back of the house).
ProfessorRoush - I am trying to ID a grass that I'm sure you're very familiar with. There are several in front of Mosier Hall. If you have time to take a look, it's in the last photo in the post on my dog-blog today:
I'm fairly sure it's a Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) but do you know what variety? I love the colors and size and would love to add some to my garden this Fall.
Thanks very much -

The best part about nursing: "When a stranger walks in off the street and opens his or her life to you."
To truly care for someone, says Assoc. Prof. Susan Chase, caregivers have to go well beyond a patient's physical needs and hold spiritual and emotional needs in equal regard.
Chase has applied this philosophy to her own faith life at St. John Evangelist Lutheran Parish in Sudbury, where she serves as a parish nurse. She helps provide health screening, blood pressure clinics and a variety of other services that some individuals might not get elsewhere.
"But what's important about being a parish nurse is that you come to know people" said Chase, co-winner of the Boston College Distinguished Faculty Award for service. "When you do that you know what's going on in their lives and how it might affect their health."
She said the parish nurse sometimes holds a staff position, performing duties such as blood-pressure readings, promoting nutrition and exercise programs, delivering meals, and arranging transportation for the elderly. In a hospital setting, the parish nurse might pray with patients and help in making end-of-life decisions.
Through her work at St. John's, Chase has taken a leading role in the development of courses and programming for the Parish Nurse Program at Boston College. Her efforts led to the creation of the joint master's degree program in nursing and pastoral ministry degree.
Chase has become a sought-after expert on the topic and serves as the liaison in the Connell School of Nursing's partnership with the International Parish Nurse Resource Center in providing parish nurse education in the Northeast.
"Over her years at Boston College she has distinguished herself in the service to the University, the community and her profession," Dean Barbara Hazard Munro wrote in nominating Chase. "Throughout her work she involves and supports students and is deeply committed to Jesuit service."

Does he create any of his own art?: "I don't touch the stuff - I'm just a critic and a historian."
If the measure of an individual's service is what he gives to the community, then the world - or, more accurately, the World Wide Web - owes its gratitude to Assoc. Prof. Jeffery Howe, co-winner of the Boston College Distinguished Faculty Award for service.
Howe was on the cutting edge of the digital image revolution six years ago when he created an online archive of art that today numbers 3,000 images and is available to anyone with a Web browser.
The award-winning archive he began in 1995 contains images of paintings, sculpture, and architecture that, according to correspondence Howe has received, has been viewed and utilized by people from across the globe.
"It really began as a study tool for students," said Howe. "But it has attracted lots of attention from people outside of BC as well."
Howe's digital archive is just one example of his contribution to life at Boston College. He was responsible for bringing the Art Museums Image Consortium to Boston College, one of 20 universities in the nation to have such a distinction. The AMICO library is a database of digital images that contains about 65,000 pieces of artwork and is available to all students at Boston College.
Howe is the founding chair of the University Arts Council and he coordinates the annual two-day Boston College Arts Festival, one of the marquee events of the spring semester at Boston College. He also is credited with inaugurating Career Night for the Arts, an event that brings together BC students and professionals in various arts-related fields.
The coordinator of the Boston College Summer Program in Florence, Italy, Howe has served as director of the University Art Collection Committee and as a member of the Religious Art Committee and the steering committee of Boston College Friends of Art.

Kiefer Sutherland Makes His Confession
April 1, 2011
Kiefer Sutherland's Next Series
January 12, 2011
About This Show
- Summary
Starring Kiefer Sutherland, The Confession is a story of unique redemption and an exploration of good and evil featuring a hit man (Kiefer Sutherland), and a priest (John Hurt). The story begins on Christmas Eve, when the hit-man enters a church to confess his sins to the priest. Through a series of gripping flashbacks, the Confessor's journey is revealed – laying out what has brought him to this moment and leading the audience to the dramatic ending where the man's chances at ultimate redemption hang in the balance. While at first the Confessor seems to be an evil, cold-blooded killing machine and the Priest the ultimate arbiter of good, as the series develops it becomes clear that both characters are much more complicated than either could have suspected.

who some say was the model for Prince Eric in Disney's The Little Mermaid – is in great demand. He has a supporting role in a hit-movie (The Town), he's a comic treat whenever he visits Rockefeller Center – faux (30 Rock) or real (Saturday Night Live) – and he's on fans' short list for seemingly every rock-jawed superhero movie. He's on the verge. So I can't help but ask the question: Will he become George Clooney or Tom Selleck? Bruce Willis or Ted Danson?
It's been a rough year for Don Draper, but as the curtains closed on the fourth season of Mad Men last night, the sultan of suave was basking in the glow of his surprise engagement. Surely the good vibes won't last, as season 5 will tackle that decision's collateral damage, but Jon Hamm's own prospects couldn't be brighter. The handsome actor –I hope it's understood that either fate represents ridiculous success for an actor, but it's also true that some television stars never quite fill the big screen in the same way they did the tube. You could argue that no one was ever as poised for movie stardom as 1981 Tom Selleck, whose hunky Thomas Magnum inspired a women-want-him-men-want-to-be-him vibe similar to our current infatuation with Hamm's Draper. (Who knows what would've happened if CBS hadn't prevented him from playing Indiana Jones?) And who was more beloved than Danson's Sam Malone on Cheers? But for some reason, we – the movie-going public – ultimately ruled that we preferred those two on the small screen. Perhaps they played their iconic characters too well, because we never loved them so much as when they were a tanned P.I. and a womanizing bartender.
It would make my job a lot simpler if Clooney and Willis had maneuvered differently in their transition from TV stardom to the Hollywood A-list, but it's not clear to me they did. By the time Clooney became a certified star on ER, he'd been a utility player on at least five TV series, so his breakthrough can't be called inevitable. Willis' path was probably the most improbable, switching gears from a limbo-dancing smart-ass on Moonlighting to a yippie-ki-yay action hero in Die Hard.
Hindsight is 20/20, but I'm not sure how much these four actors actually determined how or where they ended up. We decided. Just as we'll decide whether Jon Hamm belongs on our TV or at our multiplex. Maybe it has everything to do with the question: Do we love Jon Hamm as much as we love the character Don Draper? Will we be able to accept him for not always being that character? His dynamite appearances on 30 Rock and SNL are flavored by his flawless inner-Draperness, but I was pleased by his performance in The Town, where he played a ruthless good guy. Hamm is certainly in line for leading man movies roles, but I honestly have no clue whether he'll be at the Oscars in 2018 or be part of CBS's Friday night lineup. I'm fascinated to see how his career will unfold.
Where do you see Jon Hamm in eight years, PopWatchers? Whose career seems like the most likely model for him?

Some brides say they have trouble sleeping the night before their wedding, but I passed out the moment we came home from the movie and slept until my alarm woke me up at 8:00 am. I am not a morning person (no matter what morning it happens to be), so MOH Dancer and Bridesmaid Fashionista started my morning with a "It's Your Wedding Day" dance and song that they made up on the spot.
A few months before our wedding I was telling MOH Dancer that I wanted to find a way to spend as much time as possible with our friends and family that had come into town for our wedding. Since we were leaving at the crack of dawn for our honeymoon, the day after our wedding was not going to be an option for us. Luckily, MOH Dancer's mom came to the rescue and offered to throw a wedding day brunch for all the women in town for the wedding so I could spend a little extra time with them. Brunch is my absolute favorite meal, so despite the fact that I was still clinging to my bad mood from the night before, I was trying to push my emotions aside and prep myself for the see of smiling faces and delicious food. Momma Dancer did an incredible job setting up the room and cooking the food.
Momma Dancer is a fellow UT grad, so we had to have a shot with our horns up.

- Hi,
> I guess it's not clear to me why there is a difference.
I'll demonstrate it with a different example:
$auth = SOAP::Header->name("aaa");
$param = SOAP::Data->name("ppp");
is a variant where SOAP::Lite recognises the Header
$auth = SOAP::Header->name("aaa");
$param = SOAP::Data->name("ppp")->value($auth);
is a variant where SOAP::Lite does not recognises the header, it is simply
"not there".
I suppose the reason for that behavior is, that SOAP::Header is a subclass
of SOAP::Data, so
you might use SOAP::Header everywhere you may use SOAP::Data. It does not
work vice versa.
I suppose (without checking the source code), that only the parameter list
of the call() method
is checked with respect to SOAP::Header. In contrast, the content of the
supplied parameter is
not checked (this makes in my opinion no sense).
> Even more so since the documentation seems to indicate that
Which part of the documentation indicates that they are equivalent?
> they are equivalent -- they indicate you can do it either
> way. But if they are not equivalent...

Abstract | Abstract: The olive oil industry in Australia has been growing at a rapid rate over the past decade. This growth brings along with it new challenges. The solid waste, produced from the olive oil mills, is particularly difficult to manage. Pyrolysis is a process which may be employed to generate biochar, bio-oil and gas from biomass. The proportions and in fact the quality of the different products depend on the process parameters such as final temperature, heating rate, particle size and pyrolysis method. The change in the products quantities and qualities affect the potential revenue from the sale of these products as well as the potential environmental credits due to the altered use and or product properties. This paper investigates some of the economic and environmental trade-offs in the production and end-use of the biochar and bio-oil from the olive-oil solid waste in Australia. Special attention is paid to the impact of policies such as renewable energy targets, carbon tax and carbon sequestration credits on agricultural lands. Under the current government policies, the optimal utilisation of the pyrolysis products is limited due to the lack of incentives for the use of bio-char as a soil amendment on agricultural soils. Keywords: pyrolysis; olive husk; bio-oil; biochar; carbon sequestration; carbon tax |

Thanks for the encouragement. You are all too kind.
If you are concerned about your kids, Internet copyright issues, and need to learn more...
see: [Hidden link. Register to see links.]
These are free lessons & lesson plans designed by The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for educating teens. The language is plain spoken. I think the complete presentation takes about 6 hours.
EFF's Teaching Copyright curriculum was created to help teachers present the laws surrounding digital rights in a balanced way. In five distinct lessons, students are challenged to:
- Reflect on what they already know about copyright law.
- See the connection between the history of innovation and the history of copyright law.
- Learn about fair use, free speech, and the public domain and how those concepts relate to using materials created by others.
- Experience various stakeholders' interests and master the principles of fair use through a mock trial.
Teaching Copyright will require your students to think about their role in the online world and provide them with the legal framework they need to make informed choices about their online behavior.

My Favorite Audios Checklist

Strange, at the moment I am not relaxed, because of personal things going on right now at home. Other than that, I should not get into this. Correct, correct, correct... etc. I love film music. People will not make music, as I hear it contained within a film available. Therefore, I seek out complete scores, wherever I find them. Please, forward your concern to those who have this music and refuse to make it available. I am but a lowly citizen, powerless to get what I want. Perhaps you can take the concern of people such as I, to those with the power of the complete score. Your help would be greatly appreciated...
"... Help me get my complete scores !!! Bou hou hou"
... And actually the rarity of this kind of stuff makes them more valuable, not mentionning they are rarely processed to death like the official releases use to be (mastering, peak limiting, compression, and so on!). So on the contrary of you, I pray for they don't release something I'd love to have for being able to find unprocessed bootleg. And if sometimes I don't have other choice than mp3 instead of lossless, well then.
I listen more often the "Bourne Supremacy" mp3 bootleg than my copy from Varese (wich has compressed and cut off waveform, what is obvious even without checking).
This is what I enjoy about all of you here. The above information on mastering, peak limits and compression is interesting and informs a mere lay person such as I, to the means of delivery I never considered. Hell, I've downloaded without understanding how I've been receiving the final product. I have pretty good ears, but I've not really noticed I've been downloading inferior sound. With all the talent here, people should get together and offer companies your service in releasing clean, listenable music.
That's what every one concerned with the evolution of sound recording since digital technology popped up calls "the loudness war".
My experience and take on this says a well managed mastering has great chances to blow away the common "blast it up" treatment recording companies are searching for.
Let's don't get too naive: most of these people (and notably the biggest companies) don't care and seek the cheapest and the fastest. Where digital technology allows real improvement, it also unfortunaly allows looseness. They rarely offer their sound engineers the ideal conditions for making good job.
You're incredible... And that site looks incredible. The first thing I randomly checked (wich I don't know about) is downloadable as... 24-bit Flac !!!
(perfect for mastering stuff yourself if needed ).
Really amazing. Thanks !
I'm not english hence why I ask: isn't it rather "copyleft" ?
Interesting Arial... saying that, let me say, this is how I've gone about obtaining a few scores. From the dvd (decrypter) and demux, I go to Adobe once I capture the AC3 file. Several times, I've been able to get the music tracks. Trying it now with Bond scores, but unfortunately the French 5.1 has effects. Using this method, after placing file in Adobe, I now have a direct from dvd file. This way I need not do anything else to file (sound) to have a better product...or do I?
Very good! Copyleft has no legal meaning. But, yes that is the concept. See: [Hidden link. Register to see links.]
Meanwhile I'm wondering if this applies to music?
Observance #1: the movie with the most free download links is the top dollar box office smash. The more free links the movie has, the more more likely the movie is making money. Lots of links = lots of sales; tickets, dvd, blu-ray, on-demand.
Observance #2: movies with no free links, are not selling very well, nobody is watching.
So, is the number of free links directly related to how many sales? Could free links be promoting sales?
Side note: Microsoft gave away free release copies of Windows 7 to anyone that wanted one. They did this for a year before they ever sold one. Anybody that thinks the best marketing strategy is; "No, no. You can only get it by paying for it here." will be left behind when it's time to count the money.
Haha... Indeed I though of the word play and indeed... it has no meaning...
Side note: Microsoft gave away free release copies of Windows 7 to anyone that wanted one. They did this for a year before they ever sold one.
And how soon we forget. Was in the market last year to upgrade to win7. Discovered a link and discovered...I missed the freebee by a week...
I'm surprised the RIAA isn't casing this joint 24/7 since they are a bunch of nazi assholes. Then again they very well could be and probably are.
they probably are, but since most of our stuff is niche, and gets 50-100 dls, its not taht big of interest compared to the latest lady gaga crap that is on pirate bay getting 100k downloads

MM. The labels watch. We know for a fact that Varese had spies here, at least for a while, and FSM is well aware of us. And while most may leave us alone, I gotta think calling them names and being confrontational is perhaps not the best way to keep it that way. You know, why poke the tiger in the eye, if it aint messing with ya?
I'm with babydoll on this. There are plenty of extremely talented musicians that deserve and would appreciate our support.

For the movie The Expendables, the owning company hired peeps to monitor popular torrent sites to see what was being shared.
A lot of IP addresses in the USA got subpoenas and will be facing piracy charges...
That's just for the movie The Expendables.
So spies among us?
I wouldn't doubt.
How many spammy posts showed up recently with just one comment "thank you guys" from a new user with no posts made in the past couple months????
I very rarely download movies, especially anything new, but if I do, I never ever use torrents. Way too damn risky. Better to find someone sharing it via megaupload, then try to snag it before it gets taken down. But like I said, I um... ahem.... wouldn't know anything about stuff like that.

Marco Confortola was the toughest man on the mountain.
The Italian mountaineer survived an avalanche, murderous weather, bad planning and panic that killed 11 other climbers and left him stranded on the second-highest mountain in the world.
The mountain known as K2 is a daunting climb into a world of ice and jagged peaks. The mountain backed up its treacherous reputation this week by sweeping three climbers off its face with an avalanche of ice.
Others succumbed in the "Death Zone," an area so high, so cold and so forlorn that it turns hands, feet and faces black before turning breath into ice.
Left in that icy hell, Confortola, 37, slowly struggled down for four days on feet swollen and blackened by frostbite, refusing to die.
At his worst, Confortola was left alone high on the 28,250-foot peak, weak and struggling to walk.
He spoke by satellite telephone to a fellow climber back in Italy Monday and dismissed any thought of succumbing to K2, which straddles Pakistan and China.
"Of course, of course, I'll keep going. Imagine if I gave up now," he told Agostino Da Polenza, head of the Ev-K2-CNR mountaineering group.
He emerged today from the thin air and thick fog that have prevented helicopters from rescuing him, limping on his ruined feet with the help of three other climbers.
"Now I really realize that everyone here has died," Confortola told the Everest-K2-CNR, an Italy-based high-altitude scientific research group, during a phone call from base camp. "I am happy to be alive."
On how he survived, Confortola was simple.
"We don't give up, we look ahead," he said. "Now I just want to take off my shoes, my feet are pretty darn painful."
Confortola's remarkable survival ends a saga that rivals the disastrous exploits of "Into Thin Air," the Jon Krakauer book that documented the 1996 deaths of eight climbers on Mt. Everest, the world's tallest peak.
Others who survived the K2 catastrophe told of things going wrong from the beginning, bad decisions, "summit fever," people abandoning each other in panic.
The race to the peak began on Friday when winds died down, offering a chance of good weather. Thirty climbers in several groups of at least nine nationalities began the charge up the mountain.
While most mountaineering deaths occur on the descent, when climbers are exhausted, a Serbian and his Pakistani porter fell to their deaths during the ascent, which some took as a bad omen.
More ominous was the scene when climbers arrived at "The Bottleneck," a particularly treacherous gully 1,150 below the summit. They found the first signs that the different groups were not going to be very cooperative. Ropes given to the fastest climbers to prepare the way for the others were laid at times in the wrong locations, according to Dutch climber Wilco van Rooijen.
It took hours of exhausting work to reset the ropes.
Some climbers wisely backed out of a final assault on the summit, not trusting the ropes or the situation. Others, however, rushed to reach the top just before nightfall, a reckless decision known as "summit fever."
In the scramble to get down in the fading light, climbers got separated, a situation that usually means death in an atmosphere so harsh climbers need bottled oxygen to keep going.
The fastest climbers on the ascent, a Norwegian with two Nepali Sherpas, reached The Bottleneck just as an avalanche of ice crashed down, ripping away the ropes and sending the trio plummeting to their deaths.
