The widespread rainfall in the district over the past week has come as a big relief for farmers in Tiruchi district. Though the district was yet to get its normal rainfall during the North East monsoon season, the rain has been scattered so far helping standing crops in rain fed areas also.
According to the statistics provided by the Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai, the district had received 55.5 mm of rainfall under the NE monsoon season, between October 1 and November 4. With a deviation of -72 per cent against the normal rainfall of 196.7 mm for the period, the rainfall in the district was still "scanty." However, during the week ending on November 4, the district had received 41.3 mm of rainfall against the normal rainfall of 35.7 mm for the period.
Agriculture Department officials observe that the rainfall in the district has been widespread and scattered. Samba paddy crop in about 48,000 hectares, including 4,000 hectares of carry-over area from the kuruvai season, was in good condition, N.Ponnusamy, Joint Director of Agriculture, told The Hindu here on Sunday. Mr.Ponnusamy was confident that the samba paddy coverage would touch 60,000 hectares in the district within the next few days as planned earlier.
The rain in the rainfed areas of the district would help millets in about 21,000 hectares, he added. As for paddy, Mr.Ponnusamy said farmers need not go in for application of any pesticide at this stage. The Agriculture Department was already distributing leaf colour charts to the farmers to identify nitrogen deficiency. Only in fields where the crop show deficiency (as indicated by the colour of leaf given in the charts), farmers need to apply urea, he said. Mr.Ponnusamy also disclosed that a control room has been set by the department and farmers could call 2420554 for any assistance.
Collector Soundiah has declared a holiday for schools and colleges in the district on Monday. The chief amount of rainfall recorded in the district over the 24-hour period ending at 8.30 a.m.on Sunday were as follows (in mm): Ponnaiyar Dam 68.80; Manapparai 50.40; Kallakudi 41.10; Marungapuri 40.20; Kovilpatti 35.20; Nandiyar Head 32; Devimangalam 28.60; Sirukudi 25; Tiruchi Junction 25; Pullampadi 23.80; Samayapuram 23.50; Lalgudi 23.40; Koppampatti 23; Tiruchi Town 22; Tiruchi Airport 21.60, Pulivalam 20; Golden Rock 19.60; Vathalai 17, Navalurkottapattu 14, Musiri and Thuraiyur 11 each.

1 (8 ounce) package
elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon
onion, chopped
1/4 pound
chopped snow peas
1/4 pound
salami, sliced
black pepper to taste
2 cups
sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
This was pretty good. It makes way more than 2 servings though. I halved the pasta and sauce and had enough for 4 servings. I added a wee bit of Parmesan cheese before serving.
I probably have no right to rate this recipe since I altered just about everything, but I suspect my complaint would be the same even if I had followed it. The sauce seemed more like uncooked scrambled eggs to me than a sauce. It tasted fine, but I was so unhappy with the texture that I wound up cooking the sauce longer until it became scrambled eggs. I used canola oil instead of butter, added a clove of garlic, used a bland sliced deli meat and used 1 c plain yogurt + 1 c whole milk instead of sour cream. Taste wise, mine needs some more seasoning, but I'll bet with a flavorful salami, no extra seasoning would be needed.

I don't know if I did something wrong... I don't think so, the recipe is pretty straightforward, and I've done a fair amount of cooking. But I did not care for this dish.

MONDAY, Feb. 14 (HealthDay News) -- With Valentine's Day here, men who are looking to make a love connection on Internet dating sites should initially keep women guessing about just how interested they are, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the University of Virginia and Harvard found that when college women first viewed the Facebook profiles of four male undergrads, they were most attracted to the men when they weren't sure whether the men liked them a lot or just an average amount.
"The general assumption is that there is something about the challenge that increases attraction," said study author Erin Whitchurch, who conducted the research while she was a graduate student in the department of psychology at the University of Virginia. "However, I attribute the effect to increased thought about the person."
"Previous research has demonstrated that uncertainty increases thoughts about the uncertain situation," Whitchurch explained. "For example, think how hard it is not to think about results of a medical exam you are waiting for. In the case of attraction uncertainty though, people find themselves thinking about [someone], but rather than recognize it's because of the uncertainty, they assume it is because they must be attracted to the person," she said.
For the study, Whitchurch and her colleagues recruited 47 female University of Virginia undergraduates to take part in a study on the effectiveness of Facebook as an online dating Web site. Each participant was told that several male students from two collaborating universities had viewed her profile, along with those of about 20 other female college students, and had rated the degree to which they thought they would get along with each woman if they got to know her better.
After randomly dividing the participants into three groups, the researchers showed each woman four fictitious Facebook profiles that port

India is likely to dominate all the five events in the $1,20,000 Yonex-Sunrise India Open Grand Prix gold badminton championships commencing at the Nehru Indoor Stadium here on Wednesday.
Of the five categories — men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles and mixed doubles — Indians are seeded No. 1 in three.
The Malaysian doubles pair of Fairuzizuan Mohammad and Zakry Abdul Latif Mohammad and the Singapore doubles duo of Lei Yao and Shina Mulia Sari are the top seeds in the men's and women's doubles.
With most of the top players preferring to skip the Chennai event to play in higher category tournaments like the Super Series in Singapore and Indonesia, the championship has provided the Indians a wonderful opportunity to get valuable WBF ranking points and a major chunk of the prize money.
Focus on Saina, Chetan
The focus, though, will be on Saina Nehwal and Chetan Anand, the top seeds in men's and women's singles respectively.
There should be no Indian challenge for Saina, as she herself said the other day. The second seed Chew Wong Mew of Malaysia will be the toughest to beat.
India's Aditi Mutatkar, Sayali Gokhale and Trupti Murgunde, seeded third, sixth and seventh, should be itching to prove everyone wrong.
Amazing year
Saina has had an amazing year, so far reaching the semifinals of both the All England Super Series, the Badminton Asia championship and guiding India to the knockout stages of the Uber Cup. Saina has said she is capable of raising the bar. "I can reach the No.1 spot", she said.
Chetan top seed
Though Chetan Anand is the top seed in the men's section, it would be a tough ride for the reigning National champion. P. Kashyap, Arvind Bhat, Anup Sridhar, Anand Pawar, Guru Sai Dutt and Ajay Jayaram are all injury-free, high on confidence and are not afraid of reputations.
"I haven't played any competition since injuring my (right) knee in March end. I am looking at one match at a time," said Chetan, who couldn't play the Thomas Cup finals in May due to the injury.
Real threat
Malaysian Muhammad Hafiz Hashim, the second seed, will be a real threat to the Indians.
The 27-year-old, an All-England champion in 2003, hasn't won any big tournaments since, but finished runner-up in the India Open in Hyderabad last year, reached the quarterfinals of the Badminton Asia championship in New Delhi and the semifinals of the German Open Grand Prix this year.
It would be unwise to take him lightly.
Jwala Gutta and V. Diju, the top-seeded pair in mixed doubles, should have it easy. The championships, by all indications, will turn out to be a good harvest for the Indians.
The qualifiers in the women's singles (all Indians): Jui Agaskar, Juhi Dewangan, Sanyogita Ghorpade , Mohita Sehdev.

You'll have your favoritesperhaps Tobin Del Cuore, contemporary dance's incarnation of the god Apollo, or the sexy powerhouse Cheryl Mann. Maybe you'll single out the tiny, mercurial Erin Derstine or the irresistible Charlaine Katsuyoshi, who dances with the lushness of a woman and the innocence of a child. The real marvel, though, remains the group as a whole.
The repertory of these extraordinary performers leaves much to be desiredand not just because several of the seven pieces they brought us had guys (and sometimes gals) bopping around in business suits. The overall problem is that Hubbard Street specializes in work that's so busy being eye-catching, it ignores compositional complexity and emotional resonance. Capable, colorful works from Christopher Bruce, Nacho Duato, Daniel Ezralow, Lar Lubovitch, and Ohad Naharin pretty much reiterated what we know about these second-tier choreographers, and only Duato's ritualistic Gnawa showed its maker in top form. Two homegrown works rounded out the rep: artistic associate Lucas Crandall's Gimme, a clever duet-with-a-gimmick about a spunky pair's foreplay, and artistic director Jim Vincent's more ambitious but unwieldy Uniformity, which visits the boardroom, the bedroom, and the disco floor.
The piece I found most compelling was Naharin's Tabula Rasa, created in 1986 to a searing score by Arvo P First ferocious, then contemplative, it conjures up a community so ravaged by violence and grief that the survivors turn on each other, only to realize that, having endured the unspeakable, they must take up their lives again because there simply isn't anything else to do. The piece is undeniably affecting, yet not so inventive or well made as to rank as a classic. Hubbard Street, some of us remember, for a time served as an able custodian of works by Twyla Tharp. It should still be doing Tharpto say nothing of Paul Taylor and Mark Morris. The dancers deserve nothing less.

In the Yorktown Creek study, the researchers used the biosensor to track the runoff of PAHs from roadways and soils during a rainstorm.
Biosensor development
Kaattari says "Our basic idea was to fuse two different kinds of technologiesmonoclonal antibodies and electronic sensorsin order to detect contaminants."
Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system of humans and other mammals. They are particularly well suited for detecting contaminants because they have, as Kaattari puts it, an "almost an infinite power to recognize the 3-dimensional shape of any molecule."
Mammals produce antibodies that recognize and bind with large organic molecules such as proteins or with viruses. The VIMS team took this process one step further, linking proteins to PAHs and other contaminants, then exposing mice to these paired compounds in a manner very similar to a regular vaccination.
"Just like you get vaccinated against the flu, we in essence are vaccinating our mice against contaminants," says Kaattari. "The mouse's lymphatic system then produces antibodies to PAHs, TNT, tributyl tin [TBT, the active ingredient in anti-fouling paints for boats], or other compounds."
Once a mouse has produced an antibody to a particular contaminant, the VIMS team applies standard clinical techniques to produce "monoclonal antibodies" in sufficiently large quantities for use in a biosensor.
"This technology allows you to immortalize a lymphocyte that produces only a very specific antibody," says Kaattari. "You grow the lymphocytes in culture and can produce large quantities of antibodies within a couple of weeks. You can preserve th

Three reforms to speed up justice
To speed up the delivery of justice, three significant reforms were instituted recently: (1) the "Judicial Affidavit Rule," (2) the filling up of all judicial vacancies, and (3) the stabilization of judicial compensation.
Judicial affidavit. To ease case congestion and minimize delays in the trial courts, the Supreme Court promulgated on Sept. 4 (to take effect on Jan. 1, 2013) the Judicial Affidavit Rule. Under this new system sponsored by two high court committees headed by Justices Antonio T. Carpio and Roberto A. Abad, witnesses will no longer be examined via tedious and lengthy questions and answers to procure their direct testimonies.
Instead, the parties shall submit affidavits in a language known to the witness, accompanied by their translation in English or Filipino. The adverse party shall, however, retain the right to cross-examine the witnesses on their affidavits and on the exhibits or documents attached or annexed thereto.
This rule shall be applied in all civil cases as well as in criminal cases "where the maximum of the imposable penalty does not exceed six years," or "where the accused agrees to the use of judicial affidavits, irrespective of the penalty involved."
The Supreme Court observed that a "piloting (of the rule in Quezon City) quickly resulted in reducing by about two-thirds the time used for presenting the testimonies of witnesses." And if I may add, affidavits have long been used in preliminary investigations of crimes in the prosecutors' offices. In these proceedings, cross-examinations are not even conducted by the adverse parties, but "clarificatory questions," when needed, may be asked by the prosecutors, not by the opposing counsels. The result is a much faster disposition of cases.
Trial court vacancies. Sen. Franklin Drilon discovered, during a recent hearing of the Senate committee on finance he heads, that 591 trial courts, or about 26 percent of all "organized" trial courts, are vacant. No wonder case congestion and delays plague the system, he concluded.
He observed that these vacancies were funded in the national budget. But the money allocated for them were saved, "realigned" and disbursed as additional compensation for sitting judges and court personnel. In addition, docket fees were increased and used also to support additional judicial allowances called SAJ ("Special Allowance for Judges"). In the past, these "realignments" and use of SAJ irritated relations between the Supreme Court on the one hand, and Malacañang and Congress on the other.
In response to Drilon, Chief Justice Maria Lourdes P. A. Sereno, who now chairs the Judicial and Bar Council, agreed to hasten the short list for all vacancies to enable President Aquino to fill them up such that by 2015, the entire judicial machinery would be fully functioning, which also means there will be no more "savings" to augment judicial compensation.
Stabilizing judicial compensation. To solve this "no-more-savings" problem, the executive branch represented by Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad and the legislative branch represented by Drilon (Senate finance committee chair) and Cavite Rep. Joseph Emilio Abaya (House appropriations committee chair) agreed, during a private meeting I hosted, to provide enough funds from the national treasury to retain and stabilize the present compensation of judges, as follows:
Regional trial court judges—P128,198.66 a month, composed of P73,099 basic salary plus P29,766.66 allowances and P25,333 SAJ; metropolitan trial judges—P119,209.66 composed of P67,684 basic plus P27,166.66 allowances and P24,359 SAJ; and municipal trial judges—ranging from a total of P110,925.33 to P102,612.33 a month.
These three reforms are interrelated. The first will significantly shorten the actual time for trials. The second will increase the number of judges by more than 25 percent. And the third will help raise the quality of judges by enticing upright and competent lawyers to join the judiciary through a more stable compensation system. Stable and adequate compensation will also help judges resist indecent proposals from litigants.
Of course, many more radical reforms are needed. Also, some complicated pending litigations, like the Ampatuan multiple-murder cases, require special attention. I will write on them later. But for now, these three reforms make good beginnings.

Liberty and Prosperity. The Foundation for Liberty and Prosperity (FLP), which was organized on my 75th birthday last December, will formally launch 10 "Professorial Chairs on Liberty and Prosperity" on Tuesday, Sept. 18, at the Metrobank Auditorium in Makati, with Chief Justice Sereno as guest of honor.
The first seven holders of these chairs are retired Justice Adolfo Azcuna (chancellor, Philippine Judicial Academy), Dean Andres Bautista (Far Eastern University Institute of Law), Dean Sedfrey Candelaria (Ateneo de Manila College of Law), Dean Danilo Concepcion (University of the Philippines College of Law), Dean Jose Manuel Diokno (De La Salle College of Law), Dean Nilo Divina (University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Civil Law) and retired Justice Antonio Eduardo Nachura (chair, Arellano Law Foundation).
Three more will be chosen from schools outside Metro Manila, one each from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. In addition to their regular pay, each chair holder will receive a stipend of P200,000 per school year. The FLP professorial chairs project is cosponsored by the Metrobank Foundation and supported by Metro Pacific Investments Corp.

Israelis Play Big Role in Exciting EPL Final Day
Look Mother's Day, no hands!
It was an eventful day in soccer (soccer!) yesterday, as the final games in the English Premier League's regular season received ample benevolent Israeli influence, hidden and overt. (So, Israeli soccer isn't all bad.) Yossi Benayoun, the captain of Israel's national soccer team, scored once for Arsenal (a club from London that doesn't actually say where it's from) in a 3-2 win over the West Bromwich Albion (nota bene: That's real team name). The victory clinched a third-place finish in the EPL. The good thing about third place is it means you get to play in the Champions League, which is where the real action is, apparently.
But the bigger news is that Manchester City, which is roughly the Mets to Manchester United's Yankees (except they're even worse), won its first EPL championship in its 44 years of existence. It did so by scoring two goals, one to tie and the other to win, in merely the five minutes of injury time, helped in part by the fact that its opponent had only 10 men on the field for the rest of the game due to an ejection, because, you know, soccer. What the article fails to note—and what I happen to know because (and only because) he is a subject in the forthcoming Jewish Jocks—is that the retired Israeli midfielder Eyal Berkovic played a crucial role in getting Man City promoted into the EPL in the early 2000s. So, without him, nothing.
Thus concludes the last soccer-related post you'll likely see on The Scroll … until the Olympics in a few months.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brain strain
The last ditch effort to be proggressive, Hemispheres sees Rush basically glueing 2 eps together. 'Cygnus X-1: 2 - Hemispheres' is a 20 minute, exhaustive listen. It should have really been a single or EP in its own right. It is also very difficult to critique as it would take so long to absorb all of the nuance and musical threads that become part of the whole. Maybe in...

5.0 out of 5 stars A (if not THE) defining Rush album,
S. Jones "Steve Jones" (Telford, UK) - See all my reviews
In an era when radio meant chart material and, worse still, dancey-dancey stuff, (has anything changed?) we outcasts discovered new music mainly by personal recommendation and live concerts. One cold, dark night in 1978, one of my regular partners-in-crime turned up on the doorstep with another guy in tow, clutching something in the customary LP sized carrier bag. Introductions over, the newcomer reverendly placed the copy of Rush's new Hemispheres album on the turntable (he wouldn't let anyone else touch it) and we settled back for a listen.
Although I was aware of Rush and had heard a few tracks, I'd never given them my full attention - that was about to change. Before even 15 minutes had elapsed I realised I was in the presence of true genius - one of the finest bands on the planet. That opinion remains unchanged over 25 years later and I still regard Hemispheres as one of the all time classic albums, I can never go too long without playing it and the music still sounds as fresh and invigorating as ever.
La Ville Strangiato - wow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rush take the listener to a higher level,
By A Customer
Unrated, unknown to most - loved by those who got in on the act and knew then before the prog-rock concept became a dirty word, Rush have stood the test of time. Originally influenced by Led Zep - indeed they stared out doing covers of the band - Rush quickly forged their own style, and mightily expanded it with every release. Rush fans meet somewhere near the dividing line of those who swear the releases of the 1990s are more refined than their huge volume of earlier prog work. I have every release - but I would place myself in the latter of those two camps. Hemispheres did the impossible by even rising above the barely comparable 2112 epic and Farewell to Kings and proved that the concept album isn't an endless track but a story with chapters, which here have a magical quality. Side One continues where Farewell to Kings left off with Cygnus X-1, mixing sci-fi with ancient (Greek) legend. Putting aside the group's technical brilliance with key and time changes aplenty as well as Lifeson's fantastic arpeggios the lyrics provide food for thought dealing with such issues as the 'battle for heart and mind' as tribal conflict muscles in on human existence. A review in the USA unfairly denounced the "lofty lyrics" which "sometimes bordered on the ridiculous". But compare this with the output of your local radio station. The end of the first side, Sphere, contains wonderful if idealistic sentiment. Side two opens with Circumstances, containing an instrumental interlude which conjures for me a warm image of standing enjoying the atmosphere of a pre-Christmas market, a cup of hot gluhwein in hand. Trees is Orwell's Animal Farm set to music - lovely percussion from Peart - while La Villa Strangiato really is 'an exercise in self-indulgence' - a nine-minute instrumental. But Lifeson can play classical guitar for nine hours when I'm around. Rush are to be admired for trying a new direction post-Signals - but with Hemispheres they took the listener to a higher level.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Rush Record,
Kingcrimsonprog "Kingcrimsonprog" (England) - See all my reviews
Definitely my favourite Rush album; Hemispheres is a superb classic album from the Canadian band and can genuinely described as epic, a word that is often over-used but in this case I feel appropriate.
The album contains the concert classic 'The Trees,' which is a truly fantastic song with intelligent songwriting and memorable melodies. I defy you to listen to it for the first time without singing it in your head for weeks afterward!
As if that wasn't enough, it also contains the diverse instrumental track 'La Villa Strangiato,' which of course is a stone cold classic beloved by all Rush fans; the multi part instrumental influences bands as far as Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta, Tool and even Mastodon.
The least know song on here, 'Circumstances,' is still great, catchy and memorable, even if at times it seems to be ignored or overlooked.
The reason to buy this album however is for the side-long almost-title track 'Cygnus X-1, Book 2: Hemispheres,' which in my opinion is one of the greatest songs ever written. Sometimes among Rush fans there is argument as to whether it is better than 'Cygnus X-1, Book 1,' or not, or even whether their other side-long suite '2112,'eclipses it, but I feel it beats both if only by a whisker. (Both are undeniable classics after all.)
The track, representing half an album's worth of music is full of creativity, astounding musicianship and brilliant recurring themes tied together nicely. There is so much to like all packed into the one grand track.
The haunting segment where Geddy sings `I Have memory an awareness but I have no shape or form...I have passed on to Olympus,' often sends a chill down the spine.
The lyrics are fantastic throughout in fact; the music is furious, almost mind bending prog-metal... with heroic sounding guitar solos, great synths and of course one of the world's greatest drummers. To top it all off, Geddy Lee the bassist/singer puts down the performance of his life. As I've already stated, it is simply one of the greatest songs ever written.
To summarise; this is the best Rush album there is in my opinion, which is a big statement considering the wealth of classic albums that Rush have in their catalogue, and I would honestly say that it is possibly one of the greatest albums their is.
Standing proud beside classics like 'Dark Side of the Moon,' 'In The Court Of The Crimson King,' and 'Close To The Edge,' you cant go wrong with Hemispheres.

4.0 out of 5 stars Audio Fidelity SACD is worth the extra,
This review is from: Hemispheres (Hybr) (Audio CD)
Hemispheres SACD
Assuming you already know the music, decision is whether the Audio Fidelity SACDs are worth the extra over the Rush remasters or the Sector box sets. I have a good high end SACD player, pre-amp, power amp set up so find I can hear a positive difference. The SACD is more dynamic. Overall it is mastered quieter so the soft passages are quiet and the louder passage leap out more. Just set the volume up a little higher than you normally would and you get the full benefit of the more dynamic presentation. For me, some of the sounds of the acoustic guitars, especially the nylon string at the start of "The Trees" and "La Villa Strangiato" sound clearer and more realistic than other CD remasters. Whether it's worth the near �20 asking price depends on how much you like this Rush album (I think it is one of their best) and whether you have the right type of system to get the most out of it. Personally, I hope Audio Fidelity keep releasing SACDs of Rush albums. I think both Counterparts and Hemispheres SACDs are worthy additions to my Rush collection and are sufficiently different to the other versions I have on vinyl and different remasters to make them worth having. They are as good as the Mobile Fidelity releases I have of Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves. I'd like Presto remastered on SACD next from Audio Fidelity.

4.0 out of 5 stars end of an era,
Mr Blackwell (scotland) - See all my reviews
After the excellence of 'Farewell To Kings' a lot was expected of this,the follow up,after all in small writing,which no doubt haunts them to this day,they promised 'To Be Continued',the good ship 'Rocinante' had disapperaed into a black hole,sadly as it turned out,the black hole was the collective imagination of messrs,Lee,Lifeson & Peart,who struggled to complete the story and generally fudged it,at 18 minutes its overlong,at times meandering ,at times appearing lost in itself,musicianship top notch as usual but about 8 minutes too long,a shorter more focused track(like Cygnus x-1) would absolutely have done the job,still it is Rush experimenting,worth listening to now and again.
Thankfully the rest of the album held its own, with the excellent 'The Trees' and stunning instrumental 'La Villa Strangiato' raising the bar,everytime i hear this track i'm full of admiration for the three musicians' prowess,'Circumstances' is another lost classic excellent little rocker thats never given the credit it deserves ,overall its 3.5 stars.
The band faltered slightly with this one,over reached themselves(as they themselves admit) and vowed it wouldnt happen again,a new ,modern Rush, was about to surface.
5.0 out of 5 stars Munchkins of the world, unite!,
I first heard this album in my late teens through my brother's bedroom door. He had a great HiFi and I honestly wondered if there was something wrong with his turntable due to the helium-fuelled vocals emanating from his speakers. It really was a bizarre moment for sure. I learned that there was nothing amiss and that the vocals belonged to a man called Geddy Lee and not a three-foot-tall Munchkin.
Since that early exposure some thirty years ago I can honestly say that Hemispheres is one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded. Musically and lyrically it is incredibly satisfying and I grew to appreciate Geddy's vocals too. (I have, on several occasions, attempted to reach his high notes with the help of an elastic band around my gonads. Having failed every time I can only assume that Geddy had his firmly gripped in a vice to the point of going purple. A remarkable achievement).
If you love great rock music and stunning musicianship then this album is a must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent!!!!!!,
Mr. R. Powell (Wales) - See all my reviews
In the late '70's Rush offered up everything I wanted in rock music, guitars, guitars, loopy lyrical ideas, light and shade, oh and more guitars. What more could a spotty, confused teenager want in his life? Not much, and all these things came together wonderfully on this magnificent album. Some fans seem to look down on this album for some strange reason, one reviewer here giving it one star and saying this caused them to leave Rush behind after enjoying their previous albums. I really can't understand how they came to this decision, this was the obvious conclusion to everything that had come before. Side one consisted of one 18 minute track, a sequel to the final track on the previous album, A Farewell To Kings. Mad lyrics about Greek Gods fighting to rule over the planets in a black hole. All this played out to a prog rock stew of rocking guitars, gentle acoustic guitars, keyboards and of course it all starts off with THAT chord. Rush fans will know the one I mean, the one that is referenced in Far Cry on Snakes And Arrows, the chord that makes me feel like I 'm back in 1979 every time I hear it.
Side two starts with Circumstances, a good old rocker in which they throw in some French lyrics just to show off their prog credentials ( Or their French Canadian roots) . And then onto The Trees, a song that rightly stayed in their live set for many years. It starts off with some beautiful acoustic guitars, and then rocks out with a gentle acoustic break in the middle that slowly builds back up to a classic rock guitar break. And behind all that bonkers lyrics about oaks and maples wanting equality, make of that what you will. Finally, La Villa Strangiato, their greatest instrumental. Everything gets thrown in there, they clearly had so many ideas flying around they thought " Let's just throw it all together an see what comes out". We'll, I'll tell what came out, an instrumental that just bursts with invention and imagination. It's quite rightly still a concert favourite.
So there you have it, four excellent reasons why this album was not their nadir, but in fact is very close to being one of their greatest triumphs. For anyone who likes Fly By Night through to Kings then this is a must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top 3 of Rush! A must have!,
Yaniv Riahi (Israel) - See all my reviews
Classic masterpiece, never get tired from this one, this is one my top 3 Rush albums along with 'Rush' and '2112'.
'La Villa Strangiato' is my favorite instrumental track of all times.
The album is short but maybe another track could have wreck the perfect score.
Any rock fan and especially prog rock fan should own it, if you don't know Rush this album can be a good start but all the previous to this one is recommended.
A must have classic, no room to fillers of course, can be heard every day without get tired. Enjoy!
4.0 out of 5 stars All Hail 'La Villa Strangiato',
Prog Rob "RIG" (Stone) - See all my reviews
A really good workout by the consistently talented Canadian rockers. Every album is a little different from the last and Hemispheres sees the boys getting more adventurous. 'La Villa Strangiato is a classic instrumental set-piece which allows Alex Lifeson to produce one of the finest electric guitar solos ever; Geddy Lee and Neil Peart are in fine form here as well. A highly enjoyable album.

Hosts: Alex Urbina and Wendy Amara
Topic: High School Counselors and the effect on students
Guests: SCVi Charter School Counselor, Arizona High School Counselor
Airing Mondays at 1 PM Life Leadership with Alex Urbina. Alex will you help you consider new possibilities that you couldn't see before.
Life Leadership with Alex Urbina – June 2, 2014
On today's show Host Alex Urbina and Co-Host Wendy Amara sit down and talk with local high school counselors about the effect counselors have with students, Truly making a difference and does it really work on the kids/students.
Sometimes kids do not even know they have a high school counselor, Wendy said. I didn't see mine for more than five minutes twice a year. It didn't real effect me because they just listed things I should do and moved on.
The counselors at my school I couldn't tell you who they were, Alex said. I guess I didn't talk to them because I didn't have a real interest in going to college and that is all I saw counselors do.
What I work with is the challenged kids who have a disorder mentally or otherwise and help those selected students with their education and future, SCVI School Counselor said.
I help them both emotionally and educationally as well. Usually we are working with kids that have been identified and others that have not been diagnosed.

I bought this cream because I wanted an affordable eye cream with some colour. I don't like to use concealer under my eyes, so I thought it would be nice to have an eye cream that provided some degree of brightening/concealing.
This moisturiser is ok. It has shimmers which are quite noticeable during the day. Yes it perks my eyes a little but it's not a very effective product. It is a bit more cosmetic than skincare in my opinion.
The texture is full of silicones and it also has mineral oil which I would rather not have on my eyes. I only noticed this after using it for a few days. Eventually I stopped using it because it wasn't doing anything and I feared getting milia (which I have done with other mineral oil eye creams).
Packaging is a boring looking pot. Three lippies off due to mineral oil, noticeable golden shimmers and not enough moisture.
So yeah... To me it wasn't worth it.

This stuff is amazing it really moisturizes my eyes and make them look healthy and beautiful even though I have no fine line or wrinkles yet I am very strict about prevention and this is a great eye cream to start out with price is not to bad and quality is great just wish it was in a tube rather than jar but other than perfect eye cream I love Olay!!!:)))

I'm a little disappointed in this product as it hasn't reduced the fine lines around my eyes. It goes on great under make up though and i noticed that concealer isn't necessary for me when i use this along with my foundation. So I give it points for that. But i'd like to give other products a try so i won't be repurchasing this.

As far as drug store eye creams go, this is one of my favorites. I switched to try garnier and I'm missing this Olay product. I will go back to this when I finish what I'm using. I loved the texture and it smoothed fine lines. It's not a miracle worker, but it does provide some visible improvement.

I just got this tonight at cvs and I like it, it blends well and it ligts around my eyes, I dot have dark circles and I still see a difference, but I wonder does this have a tint or something , when I put it on it felt like I just put concealer on , which I dont mind , Im using it for the night with my total effects night cream to see if it is any good. I hope it does not make me break out

OMG when I see this THING i feel like crying.
I started including this product in my everyday skin care routine. I used it for a week and then I realized it has GLITTER in it, but i was like what the hell my skin didn't break out so I continued using it (since my skin reacts very fast)
After a month I noticed my under eye area and my whole eyelid became SO MUCH DRY, and broke out so bad i couldn't wear any makeup cause it would look silly !
I discontinued using this. It's been a month my skin has become much better but not 100% recovered.
so please PLEASE and please do not buy this product if you have sensitive skin.

I really love this eye cream, I think that it add brightness around my eyes, smooths the skin and even helps to fill in some small fine lines.
It's an HG in my make up routine and since I've found it I cant imagine doing my daily make up with out it, it just works so gosh darn well under make up!

Running Of The Bulls
The next day was the running of the toros. First the bulls (about a hundred of them) are paraded through town. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the best ones:

Even the kids get in on the action:
This is someone working on a typical bull's frame. Each of the little white cylinders is a rocket that will go flying into the crowds:
We spent a lot of time mixing with the locals. They would invite us onto their bulls, dace with us, etc. This is one of the parts of Mexico in which gringos are a novelty:
Then the fun began. One at a time, the bulls were lit and charged through the crowds. It's nearly impossible to photograph, but here's a few. Click through to the whole flickr pool:

Lots of people attempt to manage election laws; it happens all the time. We've seen it in vote-counting, with one side or the other suing their way into forced recounts after a close election. Of course there's "gerrymandering," named after a real Mr. Gerry, former Governor of Massachusetts, who passed the law that let legislators create serpentine voting districts in order to secure future victories for himself and his party. Then there are the donations, donors, special interests, and allied organizations who each attempt to influence election outcomes—and I'll take a look into those next week—but first, we have something of a creative response to playing with elections:

Slow-cooked oven-baked lamb (kleftiko)
lamb forequarter pieces
potatoes, peeled and halved if large
salt and freshly ground black pepper
olive oil
rosemary leaves
oregano leaves
whole unpeeled garlic cloves
lemon juice
250 ml (1 cup) water
Greek salad, to serve
Level of difficulty: easy
Season: Winter
To preheat a fourno (wood-fired oven), light it 2–3 hours before cooking, so the coals burn down to embers and the heat is radiant at about 350°C. If you like meat browned, make sure the oven is hotter at the start (see note).
Place the lamb in a roasting pan. Push the potato in and around meat. Season with the salt and pepper, then drizzle generously with the olive oil. Scatter over the herbs and garlic, then squeeze lemon juice over the meat and add the water. Cover and seal tightly with foil. Roast for 4 hours.
Serve with Greek salad.
While this dish is traditionally cooked in a wood-fired oven, you can also use a conventional oven preheated to 150°C. Increase the cooking time to 5 hours.
SBS cook's notes
Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55–60 g, unless specified.

To New Delhi-based Vivek Narang, textile is the soul of any garment
'I'm not a fashion designer, my forte lies in textiles," says Vivek Narang as he settles down for a chat during the launch of his new line at Amethyst.
If you are looking for wispy, body-loving confections, Narang is certainly not your type. But if you think style is a meticulous journey by the designer and his client beyond the frills of fashion, then the creations of this National School of Design alumnus could make it to your wardrobe.
"I've been showing my lines in Chennai for the past five years. The fact that discerning shoppers have accepted my label proves that there is a crowd out here that appreciates work-intensive hand skills and off-beat experiments with traditional textiles," says the designer, whose new line is about colour and detailing.
"This time round, I've over-dyed the fabrics and also used colour blocks to give them an interesting feel in terms of colour-play and texture." While the fabrics are soft and caressing, Narang's styling is simple and straight-forward. "My cuts are generally streamlined and free of fuss. I want the textile to do the talking," explains the designer, who revels in pleating, pin tucks, appliqué and traditional embroidery for his tunics, kurtas, overcoats and sherwanis. His patchwork scarves, with the inventive use of textiles and craft techniques, reflect his overt nod to hand skills.
Slipping into a contemplative mood, the designer says, "I've been working with textiles for the past two decades. The sad thing is that the master craftsman's place in today's world is slowly becoming insignificant. He is under so much pressure because dwindling patronage is forcing his own folks to seek other avenues of employment. Designers must evolve a formula to combine the best of the East and the West. That's the USP of my collection."
So is this happy marriage of East and West what made Bianca Jagger pick up his clothes and Uma Thurman appreciate his label? Smile follows, and Narang asks, "What's new about Indian labels abroad if the indigenous stamp is missing?" Incidentally, the designer's creations are available at leading fashion outlets in London, Rome and New York.
Surprisingly, Narang's fascination with textiles does not stop with India. He has experimented with traditional fabrics from places such as Central Asia, Cambodia and Thailand. "I'm not an Internet person when it comes to references. I love to visit museums in different places and have a closer look at textiles."
Vivek Narang's line is being showcased at Amethyst, Whites Road, till December 29.

Young wants to remain a Padre
The Padres already have the 10th (for 2010 first-round pick Karsten Whitson not signing) and 25th overall picks in the first round next June.
Garland and Torrealba are likely the only two of the Padres' eight free agents who would be offered salary arbitration.
Start the calculators
When the Padres picked up Adrian Gonzalez's option for 2011 at $5.5 million, the club also triggered payments on a series of "salary escalators" written into the contract.
The total amount of the contract could be $6.4 million out of a possible $8.5 million when the option clause was written in 2008. At the moment, Gonzalez is due $6.2 million.
Between 2008 and 2010, Gonzalez could have made $500,000 for each time he won the National League MVP title, $250,000 for placing second and $100,000 for finishing between third and fifth in the voting. He also could have made $250,000 for each Silver Slugger Award.
Gonzalez has earned $300,000 for making three All-Star teams (at $100,000 apiece), $200,000 for two Gold Gloves and $200,000 for making more than 1,650 plate appearances (actual count: 2,073) between 2008-10.


text: Youngster catches 21-pound striper Seven-year-old Eli Lis reached an important milestone in his fishing career on Sunday when he landed his first 21-pound striped bass. It was caught on a tube-andworm rig trolled behind his rowboat in Dutch Harbor. Lis has 89 stripers to his credit so far this year, with 18 of them being big enough to keep. His father has rowed over 100 miles with him in search of this first 21pounder and hopes the next one comes sooner than that.

Designer at AHO Timo Arnall has invented techniques to visualise RFID, a wireless technology designed to invisibly identify objects at a distance. Used in payment cards and mobile phones RFID is becoming increasingly popular.
The emerging interface technology Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is embedded inside objects to identify them using radio waves. Computers can identify RFID tags and create transactions simply by 'touching' objects together.
It is widely used in credit cards, retail security, mobile phones, and ticketing, but it has raised concerns because of the potential for storing and tracking of personal information.
Today there are several protest groups claiming RFID is an invasive, 'spy chip' technology that will allow for control by corporations and government.
Drawing upon the 'Touch' design project at AHO, Timo Arnall has written his doctoral thesis about the RFID technology. He recently defended his thesis 'Making Visible. Mediating the material of emerging technology'.
Arnall says that it is important to focus on the invisible nature of RFID technology, because that is the feature of the technology that makes it both commercially attractive and at the same time misunderstood and controversial.
"If you have an RFID in your pocket containing information about you, like a travel card that you top up, a key to open your office door, or even a passport that contains biometric data, you have very little idea who has access to it. With wireless technology like RFID, as users we are not sure if someone across the street might be able to access the data", says Arnall.
The dominant trend in interaction design is towards making technology invisible. Arnall believes that hiding technical systems can make them much more difficult to understand, and to critique as a part of culture and society.
"There is a need to explore these technologies materially and visually, and to communicate about them so that people know what is going on. It is alarming when technology becomes too abstract."
Arnall has found a way to use interaction design to give better knowledge of how RFID inhabits physical space. In cooperation with Einar Sneve Martinussen and Jack Schulze from the design studio BERG he has visualised the radio field around a RFID tag by using a light-painting technique.
"We developed a process where we could photograph the physical characteristics of the system. This was done by developing an RFID tag connected to an LED that would flash every time the reader sensed it. By carefully moving the reader while taking long-exposure photographs, we could paint an outline of the 'readable volume' of the system".
He believes this is important information for designers as well as the public.
"As designers we have to know the material we work with, if it's wood, plastic or metal. Digital technology is no exception. This enables us to see RFID as something physical that we can use alongside the other materials we might use in design".
The technique can be extended to other infrastructures, like GPS and Wi-Fi. Arnall together with Jørn Knutsen and Einar Sneve Martinussen made a film in 2011 where they visualised wireless networks in Oslo. The film has been viewed over a million times. See video

COWAN: Poway Lake holds do-over for trout season opener
Trout anglers at Poway Lake this weekend will have a chance to take advantage of what is being called the "Re-Do Trout Season Opener."
Trout season began last week with the lake being stocked with 1,500 pounds of rainbow trout, but a dramatic difference between stocking truck and lake water temperatures resulted in a huge die-off of the stocked fish.
"This was a phenomenal stock of quality fish and it was hard to see so many good fish perish, but a few lunkers did survive," said lake ranger Tony Scholl.
When notified of the situation, the Nebraska hatchery agreed to deliver an additional 1,500 pounds along with a scheduled 1,500 pounds of trout this week.
"We are planning on adding this quantity of fish to our scheduled Nov. 22 stock, making it a 'Re-Do Opener,' " Scholl said. "With a 3,000 stock, conditions should be much better."
Despite the tragic loss of fish, anglers who participated in the opening weekend came away with some monster fish, including an 11-pound, 8-ounce trout landed by Aleks Yermakov, who was tossing a Mini-jig. Three other anglers checked in with fish over 10 pounds and there were several 7-, 8- and 9-pound lunkers caught.
Scholl said Half Moon Bay has been the hot spot along with Hidden and Bucktail Bays. The big fish are taking Mini-jigs, Power Bait and nightcrawlers.
Dixon derby
Escondido's Dixon Lake received 6,000 pounds of rainbow trout before the 33rd annual derby, and the winning fish was an 11.17-pound rainbow caught by Scott Clemons with a nightcrawler.
Ping Liu of Solana Beach won the adult division with a 10.17 fish.
Phil Benson of Aguanga captured senior division honors with a 3.22 rainbow and Jason Brower of Escondido took first in the youth division with a 5.13-pound trout. Smallest trout of the derby was a .81 trout caught by Tom Sanchez.
Deer hunt
Escondido insurance agent Nick Barnett might be having venison with his Thanksgiving turkey, along with special memories and a few sore muscles. He tagged his first deer late last week, but it was even more meaningful because he used his father's old rifle.
He downed a hefty 2x2 buck north of Warner Springs and then had to drag it out about 300 yards to his truck.
"A few of my back end muscles complained a bit, but overall it was a very satisfying season," Barnett said. "I used my dad's Winchester 70, which made the experience even cooler."
Fire lookout
The abandoned Boucher Hill Fire Lookout on the western tip of Palomar Mountain is on its way to rebirth. After a 26-year effort, the old fire lookout has been transferred to state park ownership and will be reconstructed by the Riverside-San Diego chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association.
Association representative Brad Eells said interest in restoring the old lookout began in 1985. With the ownership transfer complete, the work can begin.
"This is very exciting, but a little depressing as Palomar Mountain State Park is still slated to close on July 1, 2012," Eells said. "State Parks are pretty good negotiators. The transfer price from Cal Fire was $1."

Diane von Furstenberg and the Tale of the Empress's New Clothes
"We all do the same things. What makes us different is how we do them."
Diane von Furstenberg | Camilla Morton, The Empress's New Clothes
A month or so ago as the seasons changed, a new book landed on my bedside table. The third fashion fairy tale by Camilla Morton called The Empress's New Clothes was about Diane von Furstenberg. After reading The Tale of Sleeping Beauty and The Elves and the Shoemaker I was really looking forward to Camilla's new story, excited about new discoveries and seeing Diane's illustrations and couldn't wait to cocoon myself in beautiful words.
Having read Diane's autobiography and writing about her in the past I wished and hoped that the fairy tale, a creative blend of Diane von Furstenberg's memories and an imaginary story of a young empress based on the classic Andersen's "Emperors Old Clothes", would be good enough to portrait this wonderful iconic woman and have an impact even on those people who don't know much about the designer.
The book didn't disappoint. It was an enjoyable and enchanting story full of love and beauty.
Read it on a quiet afternoon when the light outside becomes soft and sleepy and the shadows wrap the world in a blanket made of fantasies and stars. Immerse in this fairy tale and allow yourself to dream savouring each sentence and, maybe, a cup of ginger tea, one of Diane's favourite.
The Empress of New Clothes is available on amazon, Matches, Net-a-Porter and my-wardrobe

In all ancient and traditional societies, there have been certain events and rituals that people undergo at various stages of life from birth to death. These rites of passage are indicators of a person's continually changing status-from birth to maturity and old age-within the community. One of the most ancient of these rites, circumcision, is still practiced. It involves cutting away all or part of the foreskin of the male sex organ, the penis. There is a related practice of clitoridectomy, or female circumcision, which is usually performed for different reasons than male circumcision and consists of cutting away the whole or part of the external genitalia.

Attorney feels at home in classroom
HENDERSON COUNTY, Ky. - Three years ago, Madison Sewell left a $125,000 per year job as an attorney and started teaching in Washington, D.C., public schools.
Then, in 2011, he came home to teach at Henderson County High School.
That meant he no longer was supervising prosecutions throughout the country for the Environmental Crimes Section of the United States Department of Justice.
Instead, he's now leading class discussions, writing hall passes, enforcing school policies and getting to know his students. And for a time, he also was earning $87,000 less than he did before.
So, why did he leave the law?
He felt as a high school teacher, he can make a difference. The other answer, the one only he knows how to explain, is teaching just felt right.
"As a lawyer, I had 11 trials, with topics ranging from extortion to methamphetamine to running guns for gang members," Sewell said. "I argued nine cases before the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. They were great experiences. I have lots of stories, and I don't regret any of it.
"But when I walked into a courtroom, I always felt like I was acting," he added. "Like I was playing lawyer for a day. When I walk into a school, I feel like I'm at home. Like, 'This is me.'"
Sewell might have felt like an actor, but his students don't see him that way. They see this former attorney who still retains his law license as the reason they're learning about a possible future career.
Take Drea Staser. Her interest in the law only has increased because of a new criminal law program Sewell made possible with the help of Victor Doty, director of the high school's Career and Technical Education unit.
She will tell you Sewell is the best person to teach the criminal adjudication and criminal investigation classes because of his experience as a defender and federal prosecutor.
But maybe the best examples of her interest in the law classes she's taking this year are she helped Sewell gather documents for the program this past summer, when she wasn't even in school, and she reads all the mock court documents, even on weekends.
"I got so excited," the 17-year-old senior said. "I knew that I wanted to be a lawyer my sophomore year, but I didn't really plan anything out. But as soon as I saw that this class was being offered, I wanted to see if I could participate."
participation necessary
And it turns out being part of Sewell's classes is a lot about participation. These aren't classes where students just sit still and listen, although they do a great deal of that, too.
But they also act the part of lawyers, witnesses, bailiffs and defendants, applying what Sewell teaches them to mock trial cases. The goal is to give each student a taste of the key roles in a case, from start to finish. And the students who act as lawyers in these mock trials are able to chart the course of their own cases — guided by Judge Sewell, of course.
Sewell is an experienced teacher, too: He worked for the Federal Public Defender in Dayton, Ohio, before spending four years with the U.S. attorney's office in Louisville. He then spent one year with the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., before becoming a teacher.
Meanwhile, in the criminal investigation class, students have learned how to write search warrants and gather information.
"I gave them a scenario about a drug deal that was going to take place in a parking lot," Sewell said. "Their goal was to learn how to proceed with the investigation."
Since his background is not in police work, he has gotten help from law enforcement who come to the high school to speak with the students.
"High school is a great time to get young minds wrapped around the idea of a criminal justice-related career path, and this program does just that," said Kentucky State Police Trooper Corey King. "It's a win-win for both interested students and law enforcement agencies alike."
Steve Gold, Henderson County attorney, said the hands-on experience of Sewell's classes "would be useful to any citizen."
Student Ashley Marshall said she has gotten a chance to explore jobs in the law field and to learn how the court works.
"I can use this knowledge to help me decide if this is a career path I would like to pursue," she added.
That's high praise for a program started by a man who left his law career to teach. But Sewell said his students can tell he still loves the law.
And most importantly, he's happy with his choice.
"Before I went to law school, I taught here," Sewell said. "I taught physics here from 1996 to 1998, and basically of all the things I've done, that's the job I've loved the most.
"And that's still true," he added. "Working with kids, and being able to make a difference, I find myself smiling so much more as a teacher than in any other job ... This is where I belong."
