The Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Liberia Rev. Dr. D. Jensen Seyenkulo has asked God to shower His blessing upon the thousands of graduates expected to walk out of the walls of the University of Liberia (UL).
With scripture reading taken from the book of Joshua, Rev. Seyenkulo thanked the Almighty God for his protection and mercy upon the graduates while they were going through those difficult times of study.
Serving as guest preacher at the Baccalaureate Service for the University of Liberia for the 93rd Commencement Convocation, Rev. Dr. Seyenkulo advised the graduates to acknowledge God in everything they do while seeking the job market because their success is measured by God's intervention.
Rev. Seyenkulo also wants the graduates to walk and talk with God who determines the way of life of every individual living in this world. He said the students have been blessed in order to bless his /her country.
The Lutheran Bishop encouraged the prospective graduates to forge ahead for more opportunities by keeping their heads up. Bishop Seyenkulo acknowledged that there will be obstacles along the way but those obstacles can only be defeated when God takes the center stage of their lives and plans.
"You didn't do it by yourself. Some of you would have fallen along the way either by sickness, financial and family issue. There were trials and tribulations throughout your study but you made it. It is time now that we count on you to help transform the society and leave a good footprint for others to follow," the Lutheran Bishop said.
For his part, the President of the University of Liberia Prof. Emmet A. Dennis lauded the graduates for the advancement made in their academic sojourn and referred to them as his "diamond". Dr. Dennis considered the graduating class as a lucky class because all the diplomas have been signed and ready for distribution on Wednesday, December 19, 2012.

Crosswords For iPad
For Those That Like Words
Crosswords are loved by men and women of all ages. They test our knowledge and provide a fun way to pass the time. Now in the digital age, our iPads have become the new way to do crosswords. We compare our favorites in this AppGuide.
Essential Apps
Crosswords Classic
by Stand Alone, Inc.
Crosswords is the essential and only crossword app you will ever need for any Apple device. This app is universal and runs great on your iPhone and iPad. There is also a Mac version available in the Mac App Store, which will sync with your iOS devices. The app links in with tons of different sources including the NY Times, The Onion, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Thinks.com, People Magazine, and many more. The app will sync between all of your devices, which is a big win. The iPhone version is wonderful and the iPad version is great too. It is a relief to see a developer rethink the interface depending on the device. Best of all, because of all of the different content providers, you get new puzzles every morning for free!
Notable Apps
CRUX Crosswords
by Rumination Software LLC
Crux Crosswords HD is a great alternative to Crosswords. It is half the cost of the essential app. You do not get a universal app, so this one is for iPad users alone. The content is about the same as you will find in the essential app. The puzzles look beautiful on the iPad screen and it is easy to enter your letters to solve the puzzles. A great app for those looking for an alternative to Crosswords.
NYTimes Crossword - Daily Word Puzzle Game
by The New York Times Company
The NYTimes Crosswords app is pretty good. This one will cost you to use. There is a subscription cost of $1.99 per month. The app runs great on the iPad, and iPhone. The app is even enhanced for the Retina display of the iPhone 4. You are able to try out the app for a week to see if the subscription is worth it to you. The app also grants you access to the archives of over 4,000 puzzles. A nice app for those okay spending some money.
Decent Apps
iPuzzleHD Crossword
by Skeelo.net GmbH
iPuzzleHD Crossword is an okay app. It includes support for not only crosswords, but Sudoku and other word games. The app itself is free. The content does cost money and you may end up spending more money on that than you would the essential app. We would advise spending the five or ten bucks on a good app rather than a freebie with paid content.
365 Crosswords for iPad
by Simon & Schuster
For $4.99 you get 365 Crosswords for iPad. The price point is what kills this app. We found the app to be buggy and not as advanced as the essential app or Crux. You have access to 365 puzzles. We found the usability and enjoyability of the app lacking. The app has not been updated since its release in October of 2010, which is yet another reason to avoid it for now.

IF there was no advertisement at all i would have a huge problem with this. Mark of a ninja is a great game. it's the first game i chose to s rank in a long time. it deserves to be played by as many people as possible. but if i want a game i go to the game tab, if i want a movie i go to the movie hub. an if it was the case that this game had a promotion on the game hub then people who wanted a game probably would have seen it. i agree with Patrick on one point. and that is that MS could do better. but the fact is it is that they still do a much better job than the rest.

True Blood
True Blood's Ryan Kwanten Is Sexy in Glasses, But Which Look Do You Prefer? (PHOTOS)
While True Blood's Jason Stackhouse barely knows what's going on in front of him most of the time, his portrayer, Ryan Kwanten, always makes sure he can see clearly.
Although it's rare to spot the Aussie in glasses on the red carpet, once in awhile he surprises us with a pair of thick-rimmed black frames, rocking a geek chic look — and making us swoon!
Maybe we're just suckers for four-eyed hotties, but there's something about the smart, sexy look that makes him even more appealing.
At the G-Star Rodeo Drive Store Opening on Dec. 6, 2011, Ryan kept things sleek and casual with a black cardigan and dark-washed jeans, his hair a bit messy and a bit of stubble.
The following summer, at the Summit Entertainment Comic-Con Party on July 21, 2011, Ryan rocked glasses again, this time wearing a fun, nerdy t-shirt, a black jacket, and a goofy grin.
Do you like Ryan especially geeky at Comic-Con or dressed to impress on Rodeo Drive? Don't get too distracted by A. Skars in the photo, and then vote below!

Motorists continue to talk and text on cell phones while driving, even though they are aware of the dangers, according to the 2011 Traffic Safety Culture Index of the AAA Foundation of Traffic Safety.The survey shows that 95 percent of the nations drivers consider texting and e-mailing by other motorists to be a threat to personal safety, but 35 percent of these drivers admit to doing these actions in September, said Michele Harris, director of traffic safety culture for AAA Auto Club Group. The percentage level of concern over cell phone use while driving, is slightly above the percentage of those concerned with drinking and driving, she added. The research shows drivers realize the use of cell phones while driving is dangerous, she said. Unfortunately, their reality falls short, because their belief is that only other people drive dangerously while talking/texting not themselves. She said, in order to better the nations traffic-safety culture, motorists must recognize and correct their wrong-doing. Additionally, 87 percent of drivers expressed support for having a law against reading, typing or sending a text message or [e-mail] while driving, and 50 percent of drivers support having a law against the use of any type of cell, hand-held or hands-free [device], for all drivers, regardless of age, said Harris. She said 88 percent also view talking on a phone as a threat to safety, although two-thirds of them admitted to talking on a phone while driving recently. AAA and its Foundation for Traffic Safety will promote its Heads Up Driving Week campaign until Saturday, she said. The goal is to inspire motorists to pledge to a week of no distractions while driving. She said distracted driving is still a top safety concern for various folks, including policymakers, safety advocates, law enforcement authorities and the public. Harris said AAA launched a legislative campaign in 2009 to ban texting and driving in the U.S. Since then, 34 states and the District of Columbia have enacted anti-texting laws, she said. While were encouraged by the progress made to ban the dangerous practice of texting while driving in multiple states, we know there is still a lot of work to be done, added Kevin Bakewell, spokesman for AAA Auto Club Group.

Gloucestershire cheese rolling to go ahead on Cooper's Hill
Posted: April 22, 2014|
Gloucestershire's famous cheese rolling is set to go ahead next month - without one champion competitor but with real cheese.
Thousands of runners are expected to defy health and safety by tumbling down Cooper's Hill on the Spring Bank Holiday on May 26.
Chris Anderson, 26, who has won 13 races in eight years, will not be able to take part because of an ankle injury.
The world famous race sees competitors flinging themselves down the hill chasing a 9lb Double Gloucester cheese but last year a foam 'cheese' was used, causing upset among traditionalists.
Police had advised cheese maker Diana Smart not to supply a Double Gloucester for the traditional event.
Mrs Smart, 87, of Chrucham, who last year was told by police she could be seen as an organiser of the event and so liable for damages if she provided a cheese, plans to do so this year.
"I have been asked to provide some cheese, so why not?" she said.
Last year's race saw about 5,000 people watching on the hill overlooking Brockworth and Witcombe.
Since the early 1800s a cheese has been chased down the 200 yard, one-in-three gradient hill.
But after an estimated 15,000 spectators stretched the venue and organisers to near-breaking point in 2009, organisers of the 2010 event were forced to cancel.
A commercial event foundered and in 2010 it returned as an ad-hoc event.
There was no official medical cover last year and there may not be next month.
A Gloucestershire police spokesman said it had not spoken to anyone who may be taking part in this year's event, and declined to comment.
but ankle ligament damage has sidelined him from the event expected to go ahead on the Spring Bank Holiday on May 26.
"It's a shame, what's happened to it but it couldn't be held officially because of health and safety," said Chris Anderson, a serving member of the Rifles Regiment, said he will be watching the racing.
"If I wasn't injured I might well be there at the top of the hill," he said.
"It looks like my cheese rolling days are over, for now at least."

With its Square Mile location and menu of futuristic treatments, Lipo Centre greets clients with goodies designed to boost confidence.
Groupon finds out some more about the treatment on offer at Lipo Centre, and the body areas that can be targeted.
What is cryogenic lipolysis?
The treatment uses low temperatures to help contour bodies in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle. A therapist works a high-tech probe over the selected area, applying vacuum suction which creates a warm and then a cold sensation as the treatment takes effect.
What happens in the session?
First clients will meet with a practitioner for a private one-to-one consultation, designed to establish suitability for the treatment, and allowing guests to choose the area they'd like to treat. After they've selected either one or two body areas the treatment will begin, lasting up to one hour for one area, and up to two hours for two areas.
Which areas can be treated?
The session can target various body parts, such as the lower or upper stomach, outer, inner, or backs of thighs, the upper arms, and flanks (or 'love handles'). Male clients can also choose to use the treatment on the chest area.
What is the salon like?
The salon team aim to keep clients comfortable, supporting them during the treatments and afterwards. Inside Fit4less gym, the clinic itself is just a few minutes' walk from Tower Gateway DLR station and Tower Hill underground.

ONE late September morning in 1988, the space shuttle Discovery roared into orbit while the world watched with bated breath. The flight was the first since the Challenger disaster two-and-a-half years earlier. After a 98-minute delay to replace some misbehaving fuses, the launch went without a hitch. Challenger had been a sobering lesson, but now the shuttle was back in business.
Last month Discovery reprised its "return-to-flight" role following the 2003 Columbia tragedy. But this time there is no sense of business as usual. Discovery's close brush with a large fragment of foam insulation has forced NASA to suspend all shuttle launches until the foam-shedding problem is reworked yet again. And the sight of astronaut Stephen Robinson removing strips of gap filler from Discovery's underside by hand highlighted the apparent fragility of the craft.
But the perception of a star-crossed mission is misleading. As NASA officials made clear, the decision ...

Warcraft 3 Download Sites You Can Try
Compare this kindness to what EA Sports does with the John Madden Football business, which is to nonsense the feathers a small every year and request you to purchase the new release whether it's new or maybe not. WC III came away, what, nearly five years past and it's nevertheless new, because of the Enlargement established and you don't have to bet up $50 each Christmas to maintain enjoying an up-to-date game. PLUS, you perform on the web for free? That deal wasn't just got by you elsewhere.
The free multiplayer setting within this sport just includes one chart, but there's never per day you won't discover an adversary to check your abilities against. Some good friends have been made by me on line. In my view, the environment is less aggressive in here, that allows for some novel methods, including assaulting the additional bottom with an military of fundamental models and perhaps reach success. Don't get me wrong although you can get the game from Warcraft 3 Download. There are several that perform the demo exclusively to victim on newbies.
Wow is among the greatest games on the planet. It doesn't actually cost much compared to plenty of other games within the marketplace. While you most likely understand Warcraft 3 reign of chaos, Warcraft 1, and Warcraft 2 are kind of cruddy. This game surpasses many previous and current RTS games and is a GENUINE landmark in Blizzard's games. I recall the innumerable hrs invested in COMPUTER rooms ruining fools with the Blademaster. The maintenance is a game play notion that keeps armies little as it penalizes anyone who gets huge too quickly.
Like StarCraft and Warcraft 2, the conflict program is virtually exactly the same as is the storyline. Unlike other strategy games for example Red Alert and Age of Empires, learning how to perform a new competition in Wow is like learning how to play another sport. They don't simply change the colours of various races; they change from constructions, units and the fashion you should perform.
Yet another invention is the improvement of seeps, which are computer controlled characters the participant fights actually in multiplayer. Well, despite that Crazy AI has a lot of benefits over the participant, there are defects within it. The rush is handled by first of all, the computer cannot respond sensibly. Despite of getting a tremendous resource at their aspect, they're not using it sensibly. Instead of constructing enormous armies and just take you down, they somewhat concentrate on sneaking and updating their bottom.

Ranunculus glaberrimus (Sagebrush Buttercup) is a small plant native to interior western North America, from central British Columbia east to southern Saskatchewan, southwest to northeastern California, and southeast to northern New Mexico. It prefers habitat near junipers (Juniperus occidentalis) and sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) in damp ground.
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 5–26 cm tall. The leaves are oval, sometimes with rounded teeth at the end. The flowers are bright glossy yellow, usually with five petals but sometimes ten or more, the petals 6–15 mm long and 4–8 mm broad. It is among the first flowers to bloom after the snow has melted.
Like many members of the buttercup family to which is belongs, it is somewhat poisonous.

Potato Latkes
Serves: 8
These ingredients are:
Vegetarian Corn-free Dairy-free Peanut-free Soy-free Tree nut-free
While russet potatoes are standard, Yukon Gold make delicious latkes. The secret to making these latkes so delicious is sneaking in the grated carrot.
- 5 to 6 large potatoes, scrubbed and peeled (peeling optional) Add to list
- 1 medium onion, quartered Add to list
- 1 carrot, peeled and cut in 1-inch pieces Add to list
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice Add to list
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten Add to list
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup matzo meal Add to list
- 1 teaspoon salt Add to list
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste Add to list
- High-heat oil, such as canola Add to list
Using the grating blade of a food processor or a hand grater, coarsely grate potatoes, onion and carrot. Move to a mixing bowl, and squeeze out as much excess liquid as you can. Pour lemon juice over potato mixture and stir to prevent browning.
Stir in eggs and matzo meal to create a batter. Add salt and pepper.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a lightly oiled hot griddle. Flatten with the back of spoon and cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Drain on brown paper bags. Keep in warm oven until serving.
Serve with homemade applesauce or sour cream.
Note: Latkes can be made in advance and frozen. Lay cooled latkes on a tray and freeze for several hours. Remove and store in the container of your choice.

'Doctor Who' Season 8 set photos: The TARDIS is shrinking?Add to Favorites | Doctor Who
A lot about Season 8 of "Doctor Who" has made its way online over the last several months, but this is a new one: New photos taken on the set of the BBC series include the TARDIS much smaller than you remember it being.
Wales Online has the pictures of the tiny TARDIS, including new Doctor Peter Capaldi trying to squeeze into it, which is a funny sight. Jenna-Louise Coleman is there too and it looks like the Doctor and Clara are on some kind of wacky adventure.
There is also a full-sized TARDIS at the same location, so it's entirely possible this is where the police box will shrink, if that's what's going to happen. However, it could all be an entertaining misdirect. Perhaps the tiny TARDIS won't be featured on the show at all. It would be fun if it is, though.
"Doctor Who" Season 8 premieres in August on BBC America.

UAE consumer morale still high
Abdul Basit / 5 July 2010
DUBAI Consumer confidence is still high in the UAE for the rest of the year despite a slight decrease, compared to first half of 2010, according to the latest survey by MasterCard.
Consumers in the country are approaching the next six months with a little less optimism than the first six months of 2010, MasterCard Worldwide Index of Consumer Confidence Survey revealed.
"We are encouraged to see that consumer confidence in the UAE is still high and consumers continue to be optimistic about the next six months," said Raghu Malhotra, General Manager, Middle East (Gulf Countries), MasterCard Worldwide.
The UAE has seen a small decline in the current consumer confidence as it scored 82.4, compared to 86.1 six months ago. This score is still high and a significant improvement from a year ago score of 29.6.
Released twice a year, the Index is based on a survey which measures consumer confidence on prevailing expectations in the market for the next six months based on five economic indicators: economy, employment, stock market, regular income and quality of life.
The consumer sentiment is reflected by the five economic indicators that make up the overall Index score. Of these indicators, sentiments toward the Quality of Life (87.5 versus 83.7) and Regular Income (86.8 versus 81.9) have increased compared to six months ago, whereas sentiments have decreased for Stock Market (72.6 versus 89.6), Economy (83.0 versus 89.4) and Employment (82.4 versus 86).
A separate survey on consumer purchasing priorities reveals that the primary purchasing priorities for UAE consumers are dining & entertainment, international personal air travel and fashion & accessories.
"Historically, UAE consumers have tended to rate dining and entertainment and fashion and accessories quite highly. However, it is interesting to see that travel has also moved to the position of a top purchasing priority in this latest survey," Malhotra said.
He said this is partly a reflection of the fact that the survey was conducted around the same time as the commencement of UAE's key travel season in the summer months. "These results are particularly relevant for the retail, hospitality and travel sectors in the UAE," he said.
Middle East
Consumer confidence across the Middle East and Levant is optimistic at 69.2. The current index is lower than the score from a period ago (74.5), but much higher than a year ago (49.9).
Consumer confidence is highest in Kuwait as its score has shot up from 70.9 a period ago to the current score of 96.9. As the only other market to demonstrate an increase in consumer confidence, Saudi Arabia's score rose from 83.2 a period ago to 85, making it the market with the second highest consumer confidence score across the Middle East and Levant.

I know we shouldn't put too much into preseason numbers because, well, it's the presason. But at some point, you also have to acknowledge that what Antonio Brown has accomplished in three weeks is the personification of Mike Tomlin's "there's more than one way to protect the quarterback" theory that had most of us rolling our eyes when he first said it three years ago.
(I've written in painstaking detail on the topic, most recently last November, so if you want the extended version, knock yourself out.)
"There are two schools of thought to protect a quarterback," Tomlin told the media shortly after the 2008 draft landed the Steelers Rashard Mendenhall and Limas Sweed in the first two rounds."You can get linemen or you can get him weapons — people that people have to account for. Obviously with [the Mendenhall] pick, we've gotten a weapon. So what he is able to do on a football field will help our quarterback and our football team."
Lights Out Limas fell short of expectations, but if it makes you feel better, just pretend Pittsburgh used a second-rounder on Antonio Brown and the sixth-rounder they got from the Cardinals as part of the Bryant McFadden buy-back program on Sweed. In the end, all that matters is that Ben Roethlisberger has not only the best wide receivers he's ever seen in Steelers unis, but one of the best pass-catching corps in the entire league.
Think about that for a second.
This is the same outfit that won the Super Bowl six years ago with Hines Ward, Cedrick Wilson and Antwaan Randle El (then-rookie Heath Miller was second on the team with 39 receptions). But those names don't even properly portray the level of mediocrity; Willie Parker was Pittsburgh's fifth-leading receiver (he had 18 catches for 218 yards).
The Steelers were still built around the run back then; it was Ben's second season in the league and it wasn't until the playoffs that Ken Whisenhunt let his QB wing the ball all over the yard.
So, yes, the offense's philosophy has changed as Ben has matured, and while most of us began the month worrying about Manny Sanders and his troublesome feet, I now find myself wondering how the hell opposing defenses are going to stop Ben, Mike Wallace, Brown, Sanders, Miller, and Mendenhall. And those are just the Steelers' best playmakers. There's still Hines, Jerricho Cotchery and Isaac Redman.
I'll let JJ speak to the intricacies of the offensive line, but Marcus Gilbert wasn't the worst left tackle I've ever seen blocking for Ben. I know it's almost impossible for rookie offensive tackles to crack the starting lineup but if Nate Solder, a guy most draft experts and personnel types considered extremely raw coming out of college, is competent enough to protect Tom Brady, then I'm all for giving Gilbert every opportunity to win the gig. It's not like he's in competition with Orlando Pace; we're talking about Jonathan Scott, the same dude who got yanked after one play during the Panthers' game last season.
Whatever happens with the five fat dude responsible for keeping Ben upright, this much is certain: this offense is going to be extremely dangerous. Everyone talks about the Ravens (presumably because Joe Flacco is a winner and Ray Lewis refuses to retire), but Anquan Boldin is Ward — a tight end split out wide — Todd Heap is gone and Lee Evans is a faster version of Derrick Mason. And that's it. Baltimore's No. 3 reciever is rookie Torrey Smith, who looked so lost against the Eagles in Week 1 of the preseason that the team promptly traded for Evans.
The Steelers, meanwhile, have five legit wideouts: two "blink and they're gone" threats (Wallace, Brown), two "zone-busters" (Ward, Cotchery), and a guy who can do both (Sanders). How do you defend that?
Defenses may have minimized Wallace's impact this preseason — he has two catches for nine yards — but it comes at price: Brown has nine receptions for 230 yards (a staggering 25.6-YPC average) and three touchdowns. And Ben is 21 of 31 for 361 yards (67.7 percent), four touchdowns, zero picks, and a 146.6 passer rating.
I don't remember ever being this excited about this group's potential. A lot of that is because of what Brown has down the past three weeks, but some of the optimism comes from accepting the fact that, to borrow a well-worn Laird-ism, the o-line is what it is. Which, on a good day, is average.
But, hey, there's more than one way to protect the quarterback.

Back to school the theme of Sept. 14 event
Former parishioners at St. Joachim Roman Catholic Church last week formally filed an appeal to reopen the recently closed parish.
Members of the 15th Police District Advisory Council on Monday night honored the Rev. Steve Wetzel, pastor of St. Joachim's Roman Catholic Church, for his longtime support of the organization.
Pennsylvania's Superior Court on Tuesday ordered Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina to file an opinion of the appeal of a priest's child endangerment conviction that resulted from last year's history-making sex-abuse trial.
— The Lubavitch Center for Russian Jewry plans to purchase a house on Bustleton Avenue to use for worship.
— Emotions ran smoking hot when Mayor Michael Nutter and Philadelphia Fire Department brass showed up for the dedication of a new firehouse in Tacony on Tuesday.
On the heels of the conviction of a high-ranking Catholic church official, veteran attorneys and a victims' advocate encourage childhood sexual abuse victims to speak up.
While waiting for sentencing, to be held July 24, Monsignor William Lynn will cool his heels in a jail cell.

Are students being pushed to do too much?
Vicki H. Abeles thinks so.
In fact, the filmmaker (herself a mother) made a documentary to chronicle the ways in which students are suffering from an influx of academic pressures and extra curriculars that, in some cases, dominate their young lives.
"Race to Nowhere" will be screened at the Bay Street Theatre this Wednesday, April 13 at 7 p.m. and Friday, April 15 at 12-noon.

Roast Chicken with Savory Vegetables — Simple, Healthy and Gluten-Free – Yes, Gluten-Free IS Healthy!
We roasted a chicken a few days ago, the way my mother used to make one. She didn't need to cook for a celiac or gluten-intolerant diet. Her recipe for roast chicken was naturally gluten-free.
Simple. Healthy. Natural. Economical, too. I'm amazed at how much the same food costs if someone else cooks it for me!
It was simple, and it was healthy, and it was gluten-free.

Back in June of this year, Nintendo Australia swapped out Wii Sports for Mario Kart Wii as the bonus game to ship alongside Wii consoles. Since then, the only way for new Wii owners to get their hands on the first game has been through secondhand stores like eBay. To rectify this, Nintendo Australia is rereleasing Wii Sports and bundling it with its sequel.
From December 1, a Wii Sports bundle will be available for A$69.95 and contains both the original Wii Sports game and its sequel, Wii Sports Resort, on the one disc. The bundle will be available for a limited time until stock sells out.
Also selling in the lower A$69.95 price range is Go Vacation and Kirby's Adventure.

Critical Essay by Mary Katherine Wainwright
SOURCE: Wainwright, Mary Katherine. "Subversive Female Folk Tellers in Mules and Men." In Zora in Florida, edited by Steve Glassman and Kathryn Lee Seidel, pp. 62-75. Orlando: University of Central Florida Press, 1991.
In the following essay, Wainwright views Hurston's female storytellers in Mules and Men as a way to subvert conventional gender roles and male authority.
During the Great Depression, Zora Neale Hurston served as general editor of and a contributor to the Florida volume of the Federal Writers' Project American Guide Series. Robert Hemenway devotes only two paragraphs of his 1977 biography on Hurston to describing her brief tenure with the Federal Writers' Project, and other scholars and devotees of Hurston have also tended, as I had, to ignore or forget this detail of her life.
Several years ago, however, I happened quite by...

What's so good?
By Rachel Lynn Skotarczyk | Oct 24, 2012 | Total plays: 61,822
Alison is a ingénue of a pop star from New York. Late summer, she was slamming the blogosphere with a track called "Peanut Butter." The orignal, admittedly, bugs the crap out of me, so it was a stroke of fate that I heard the Moon Boots remix first, and man, is it the feel-good of feel-good tracks for a beautiful sunny day.
Alison's full release, Swimming Pool Sounds, was slated for release later in the summer. Summer has now come and gone, and Alison has come and gone off HeavyRoc's artist roster.
Don't get too disappointed, she's left us with a great memory... and who knows, sometimes life gets in the way and albums are postponed. Quite possibly, Alison Valentine might be someone to watch in 2013.

Mixed messages abound on the Lockheed Martin F-35 program today.
Overall it should be a good week for the F-35, with the first test aircraft back in the air after a seven-month hiatus and the second test aircraft due to be rolled out of the factory very soon.
But two articles appear in the press this morning that may darken the mood a bit in Fort Worth.
First, The Washington Post writes an article that strongly suggests the US Air Force and international customers should dump the F-35 and buy more F-16s.
Some skeptics have wondered why U.S. officials are investing nearly $300 billion to develop and buy the F-35 when the F-16, which costs about $40 million per jet, has proven so popular and easily upgradeable that 24 countries have bought them, many as repeat customers.
"There's a pretty good argument to keep building new F-16s forever," said Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow and military analyst at the Brookings Institution. "It's hard to say you can get a better bang for your buck."
It is an argument that could be made by a new administration in coming years, particularly if there is a recession.
Second, our worthy competitors at Aviation Week & Space Technology, quoted an unnamed retired Israeli general, who says:
Moreover, an influential retired IAF general says total sales will be limited by the JSF's disadvantages. He points to its overdependence on stealth, a single crewman and what could be proprietary U.S. avionics.
"Eventually somebody will come up with a way to detect it," he says. "A stealthy configuration also means you can't carry additional weaponry on the exterior. The weapons system is more important than stealth. Israel will have F-35s, but not as many as we once thought."
Smaller numbers won't detract from the aircraft's deterrence value, he concedes. Even a small fleet will ensure a first-day-of-war, surprise-strike capability. But once daily combat operations escalate, nonstealthy aircraft aided by standoff weapons, escort jammers and information operations will sustain air operations.
Nonetheless, he worries that the JSF will start showing its limitations within five years. Among the drawbacks will be its one-person crew. As a result, "we can't operate the F-35 by itself," the retired general says. "We really need two-seaters, with one person concentrating on flying and someone else focused on the strike mission. One man can't take advantage of all the options," particularly since JSF capabilities will include jamming, information warfare and network attack.

GCL-Poly Energy First-Half Profit Expands Fourfold on Sales
Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) -- GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Ltd., the largest Chinese maker of silicon used in solar panels, said first-half profit grew more than fourfold on rising sales.
Net income rose to HK$3.6 billion ($462 million) from HK$788 million a year earlier, the company said today in a statement. Sales increased 162 percent to HK$15.2 billion.
Chinese producers are expanding to meet growing demand as a result of the country's push to use more power generated from the sun. The government has set fixed preferential power prices for solar power plants to encourage domestic installations.
"China will transform from a country which manufactures photovoltaic products to a major user," GCL-Poly said.
The company, based in Hong Kong, is testing output at a new plant with annual capacity of 15,000 metric tons of polysilicon.
The producer rose 5.5 percent to HK$3.47 by the close of Hong Kong trading and before the earnings announcement.
GCL-Poly, which gained about 75 percent of its first-half sales from wafers, said in March it would more than double polysilicon capacity to 46,000 tons this year.
China, the biggest energy consumer, will install as much as 1.6 gigawatts of solar plants this year, doubling capacity from the end of last year, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

Hi there,
Does anyone recognize this joke from one of Terry Pratchett's books?
"So this SEO copywriter walks into a bar, grill, pub, public house, Irish bar, bartender, drinks, beer, wine, liquor...."
I was told that it was written by Terry Pratchett and can be found in one of his books. Does anyone know which one?
I do some work with new media and when I first read this joke I nearly spit out my coffee as I was laughing so hard. I would love to find the book and the story where Terry wrote this.
Please feel free to ping me back directly at email@example.com
many thanks in advance : )

The judgement is in: weakness in the local manufacturing sector is more than just a blip on the radar.
It's become a trend.
That's what researchers at Cal State San Bernardino said today in a report released by the Institute of Applied Research and Policy Analysis.
July's purchasing manufacturer's index — a barometer of how well local manufacturers are fairing — came in at 41.2. It's the second-lowest index reading since the report's inception in 1993.
The index is based off a survey of commodity prices, production numbers, new orders, inventory numbers, employment numbers and supplier deliveries at companies.
In July, production and new orders — two key economic indicators — dropped sharply.
Inventory, employment and supplier deliveries "continue to manifest weakness," the report says.
"If the PMI continues to remain this low for the next two months, this will indicate that the local economy is in recessionary mode," the report states.
Also, 44 percent of purchasing managers surveyed said they think the Inland Empire's economy will continue weakening, while another 46 percent said things will remain sluggish.
The news comes on the heels of June's report, which said oil and raw material prices were eating away profit from local companies' bottom lines at a record rate.
Shipping budgets keep growing as businesses cope with the cost of crude oil.

Old CanoScan D660U
Any idea how to get this CanoScan D660U to work on my iMac G5?
The original software disc requires OS 9 and I'm not about to install Classic just for this scanner. I've plugged the scanner in but nothing happens, not even after a restart. Image Capture says "No Image Capture device connected."
I've gone to the Canon website and downloaded the new drivers. When I try to install them they ask for an install location. I have no idea where this should be. I tried the applications folder but I get the error message "Cannot access a file named 'CANON CanoScan D660U N.' (Error Code =-5000)" The Canon website has no instructions on where to install the drivers.
What am I doing wrong? Or is the scanner just not compatible, though it must be if Canon has drivers for OS X. The scanner does work when plugged into a PC.
Don't put it in Applications, just select your hard drive and click install. It should install them in the right place, probably somewhere in /Library.

Milton, Vermont (PRWEB) January 29, 2014
Bushintai-Do, defined as "The Way of the Warrior in Mind and Body", was developed by David Quinlan, owner of Martial Way Self-Defense Center of Milton, Colchester, and Saint Albans, Vermont. Working with Vermont middle school teachers for the past ten years, Quinlan has effectively integrated Bushintai-Do into the school curricula via online lessons and teacher support materials, and has created a school-based movement program now called, Bushintai-Do for the Classroom.
A synthesis of traditional Asian martial arts, Bushintai-Do contains no violent or dangerous techniques; rather it is a way for children and adolescents to reap the physical and mental benefits of martial arts training without any of the potential risks. Bushintai-Do for the Classroom is a research-based movement program based upon this martial art, and designed to bring this motivating physical activity to teachers and their students, via an online format.
Current and emerging research indicates that coordinated mind-body exercises found in the martial arts spark neurological benefits that facilitate the learning process, and a child's capacity for learning. Bushintai-Do for the Classroom can bring this psycho-motor activity directly to schools, extracurricular programs, and educational groups via a web-based format. Guided by video instruction, students can experience the excitement, power and focus of Bushintai-Do, while learning about respect, perseverance and self-control.
"I would highly recommend Bushintai-Do for the Classroom. I have seen first hand the power of martial arts in relation to the growth and development of youth."
-Josh Cate, Director, The Bellcate School, Essex ,VT
"The video lessons were easy to use, completely reliable...and fun!"
-Gina Krol, M.Ed, Teacher, Winooski Middle School, Winooski , VT
"We began using the online track of Bushintai-Do at the beginning of the school year, and it has been a fantastic option for us. We simply move the desks aside and watch the videos on the SmartBoard, following along with Dave Quinlan and his assistants. The nature of the videos allows us to "customize" lessons to the needs of the students. The program is exceptionally valuable for my students. It teaches them important lessons in responsibility, tenacity and self-control, and the ultimate sense of pride that they garner has been astounding... Bushintai-Do teaches and reinforces the skills that are necessary for successful studenting, learning and life in general. It is, quite simply, an amazing program."
-Brian Kravitz, M. Ed. Teacher, Georgia Elementary Middle School
Bushintai-Do supports First Lady Michelle Obama's initiative, "Let's Move", by helping schools incorporate the "Get Active" directive with a program designed by educators for educators, yet within a structured and flexible format. The lessons are in 25-minute segments, and can be shortened or lengthened to fit the class schedule, or even used as a structured break or recess time.

The term "held back" here could mean many things.
- It could be a local explicit configuration pin on the package done by

it from entering testing, but if the dependences are correct for
the other packages this should not break your system, because they

Regardless... a held back package should never hurt your system,
it *does* prevent you from getting the latest version of something
and damaging your system with broken packages.

A apt upgrade should never kill your system... if it does the chance
something wrong with the packages being installed is thousands of times
more likely than something wrong with what apt did.

No accurate time estimates ever. There are bugs in the tracking system
that are over 6 years old... just cause one is filed does not mean it
will ever get fixed. Bugs get fixed when people interested enough in
them work to fix them... and even motivated people take time.

If you are using mixing and matching official debian with un-official
debian packages for large complex projects like KDE and Gnome, you
had better know what you are doing. It is possible for things to
be maintained by different people, compiled with incompatible options,
and taking different directions...
Un-official sources are not bad, but if you are pulling stuff and
those things break your system it is probably not a Debian problem,
probably not a problem with apt, and maybe not a problem with what
your were trying to do. Regardless it your pile of pieces.
I recommend you try to remove the unofficial KDE apt sources,
and do a apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade to see if that fixes

The company's NAB announcements for upgrades and new products look like some really useful features.
So-called 4K video could arrive later and cost more because of a surprise royalty demand for a certain video compression technology.
By using HTML5 by default to deliver YouTube video, Google helps the Web root out Adobe's Flash. The next challenge for the Web: competing with mobile apps.
Adaptec's GameBridgeTV is unique in letting you connect game consoles to a PC, but its DVR performance is inconsistent.
HEVC, a new standard for compressing 4K video, will be cheaper for many companies to use than its industry-dominating predecessor. Maybe Google's competition helped.
Those who want movies with the very highest quality will be keen on 4K Blu-ray's better resolution, color, and dynamic range. Yet millions seem happy with streaming video, despite its shortcomings.
TP Vision, trying to find a way to excite TV buyers, reveals three models at the IFA trade show that marry Google's smart-TV technology with lots of pixels.
The HBO comedian wonders why the hardware and software guarding the United States' nuclear warheads are so out of date.
The new HEVC standard can squeeze 3,840x2,160 pixels at 50 frames per second into a radio-frequency broadcast. Not many have the high-end electronics needed to watch, though.
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265, promises twice the compression possible with Blu-ray's best video compression methods. But how does it work, and is it enough to get us better-looking 4K content?

When I think about my life, I realize things are constantly happening and that how I handle and respond to these happenings truly shape my future and that of the people around me.
Since December 2013, when as a family we decided to move to Boulder, CO, I never imagined that I would face several serious safety scares, let alone the most defining one.
I was running with my son, who was just 11 months at the time, and I slipped on some black ice, and he practically went plunging into an icy creek. On that particular day, I was so lucky that my son was completely unharmed and I just had some scrapes and bruises. But, the reality set in of how dangerous running alone can be.
My husband, a techie and problem solver, set out to find an app or service that would apply to my need of communicating danger and need for help if I was hurt while out running or if something otherwise bad happened, God forbid a stalker or something of the like. He unfortunately was not able to find anything that did what he felt I needed, so he decided to build one.
The result of my husband's efforts is RunSafe (http://runsafe.me). It includes all the features you would expect from a premium fitness app (distance, time, pace, calories, etc. of runs, walks, cycling, etc.) but with the added features of a premium safety app (panic button that triggers a siren, strobe light, starts recording, etc.).
Whether you are a runner, walker, biker or just head out at times on your own, RunSafe can give you and your loved ones piece of mind. The safety features are universally useful, whether it's knowing that your teenage daughter is safe while she is walking home from school, or that your aging father is not in danger on his evening stroll around the neighborhood.
I truly believe in the safety value RunSafe can give to our community. If you would like to try it out yourself, visit http://runsafe.me/download and you can download it for use on your iPhone or Android device.
As I look to tomorrow and the coming days, I truly believe that my safety scare was a defining moment in making a difference in the safety of lives of so many others. How very cool is that!

Files are replicated with DFSR between servers even though file contents are unchanged
Article ID: 974774 - View products that this article applies to.
When you use Distributed File System Replication (DFSR), all files in a replicated folder are re-replicated between servers even though the file contents are unchanged. This behavior may occur in a "ping pong" manner between servers continuously. When you examine the files closely, you find the following conditions are true:
Note The Reason text in this example includes "Stream Change." On the next update, the Reason text may change to "Data Truncation."
20090629 19:12:57.725 2532 USNC 2453 UsnConsumer::UpdateIdRecord ID record updated from USN_RECORD: + USN_RECORD: + RecordLength: 96 + MajorVersion: 2 + MinorVersion: 0 + FileRefNumber: 0xF000000005E74 + ParentFileRefNumber: 0x5000000000127 + USN: 0x2ba89c0 + TimeStamp: 20090629 19:12:57.709 Eastern Standard Time + Reason: Basic Info Change Close Named Data Extend Stream Change + SourceInfo: 0x0 + SecurityId: 0x0 + FileAttributes: 0x20 + FileNameLength: 32 + FileNameOffset: 60 + FileName: samplefile.rtf
Windows Server 2008 R2 includes a new File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) component that is called "Classification Management." This component is used to select files that are based on rules in order to perform scheduled tasks. As part of its typical operation, Classification Management writes alternate data streams to files. These will cause the file hash to change and DFSR to re-replicate the file unnecessarily.If scheduled Classification rules are used on multiple servers, it may cause the "ping pong" effect in which each server replicates all files in each direction.
This behavior is by design.
We do not recommend that you use FSRM Classification rules with DFSR replicated folders.
If you use FSRM Classification Rules with DFSR replicated folders, we recommend that you configure the rules and run them before you configure DFSR. We also recommend that you only apply the rules to one server and not multiple servers. Scheduled FSRM rules should not run during regular working hours. FSRM Classification Rules should not be applied to latent DFSR servers where incoming changes are not yet replicated because in this case user file changes may be lost.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MoonraKerr 5.0 3D Fins
I've been hearing about these new 3D fins out of Australia for a while now and this morning finally got to try out a set after getting hooked up on the North Shore. Let me tell you, these babies fly! Granted the waves were pretty damn good, but I could instantly tell the difference between the ones I had in my board before and these. The main difference between 3D fins and all the others out there are the dimples. Not the kind of dimples that make a fat chick cute—actual dimples on the fin like a golf ball. I won't get all hydrodynamical on you, but my theory is the golf world has spent billions of dollars developing the perfect ball (with dimples) so why not translate that technology into fins? As an added value, the MoonraKerr 5.0 comes in this bad ass Cheetah print…and we all know how fast cheetahs are.—Justin Coté

Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 28, 2014
The Andy Roddick Foundation, with its focus on enriching the lives of underserved young people, today announced its Summer mini grant award recipients, which are part of the Foundation's larger grant strategy. Seven Austin organizations received a total of $12,500 from the Foundation to help support their own efforts to improve equity of and access to Summer programs for Austin area youth. 2014 Summer Grantees include Camp Fire Balcones, Explore Austin, Extend-A-Care for Kids, GENaustin, Girlstart, KIPP Austin and NYOS Charter School.
The Andy Roddick Foundation focuses on improving the lives of underserved young people with direct service including its Summer learning program for elementary students. It also partners with similarly focused organizations in multiple ways, including awarding grants. The summer mini grant winners must prove their programs increase student access to and/or improve the quality of Summer learning programs serving young people in Austin. Monies received from the grants must be put toward efforts such as expanding the number of children served, improving activities, adding resources, training staff, or increasing individualized support and interaction with the participating children.
"I started the Andy Roddick Foundation when I was 17 years old, not far removed from the young people we are proud to serve," said Andy Roddick, founder and chairman. "Giving grants is a network effect, more people working together to improve the lives of more kids. Our grant winners are doing outstanding things for young people and we are proud to provide support and recognize their efforts."
The 2014 Andy Roddick Foundation Summer grantees include the following organizations, with the following Summer program needs:
Grants will help these organizations expand access to or quality of these Summer offerings for students in grades PK to 12 in under-resourced areas of Austin. To continue its grant making efforts, the Foundation has posted its Fall mini-grant application at http://www.arfoundation.org/getinvolved/grants.html. The Fall mini-grants will be awarded in early September with an application deadline of June 30th.
About Andy Roddick Foundation
The Andy Roddick Foundation focuses on improving the lives of underserved young people through opportunities that will help motivate them to reach their full potential. The Foundation is a vision of now retired tennis professional Andy Roddick who established the Foundation in 2000. Always focused on inspiring and empowering young people, the Andy Roddick Foundation moved its headquarters to Austin, Texas in 2012. The Foundation is granting funds to partners with programs that align with a focus on closing the opportunity gap for young people living in under-resourced areas. Beyond grant making, the Foundation delivers direct service with activities like its own five-week Summer program for elementary school students.

Florida defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin knows his defense has a big challenge this week as the Gators face Florida State.
- Filed Under
Florida defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin says he hasn't paid any attention to the potential legal issues involving Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston. But he has spent an awful lot of time studying Winston's throwing and running ability this week.
While the pending problems in Tallahassee haven't been settled as the Gators (4-7) prepare to face Florida State (11-0) at noon Saturday, that's probably a good idea because Winston isn't the only issue for Florida, which gave up 429 yards on the ground in a shocking 26-20 loss to Georgia Southern last week.

During the 1810s the skins of Antarctic Ocean seals were highly valued as items for trade with China. As a skilled and fearless seal hunter, Palmer achieved his first command at the early age of 21. His vessel, a diminutive sloop named the Hero, was only 47 feet (14 m) in length. Palmer steered southward in the Hero at the beginning of the Antarctic summer of 1820–1821. Aggressively searching for new seal rookeries south of Cape Horn, on November 17, 1820, young "Captain Nat" and his men became the first Americans to discover the Antarctic Peninsula. After much larger ships skippered by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Edward Bransfield reported sighting land earlier in 1820, Palmer was the captain of the third vessel, the Hero, to sight the continent of Antarctica, and actually set foot on land. Palmer also helped discover the nearby South Orkney Islands archipelago.
After concluding a successful sealing career, Palmer, still in the prime of life, switched his attention to the captaining of fast sailing ships for the transportation of express freight. In this new role, the Connecticut captain traveled many of the world's principal sailing routes. Observing the strengths and weaknesses of the ocean-going sailing ships of his time, Palmer suggested and designed improvements to their hulls and rigging. The improvements made Palmer a co-developer of the mid-1800s clipper ship.
Palmer closed his sailing career and established himself in his hometown of Stonington as a successful owner of clipper ships sailed by others. He died in 1877, aged 78. Palmer Land, part of the Antarctic Peninsula, as well as the Palmer Archipelago, were named in his honor.
The Antarctic science and research program operated by the U.S. government continues to recall Palmer's role in the exploration of the Antarctic area. Palmer Station, located in the seal islands that Palmer explored, and the Antarctic icebreaker RV Nathaniel B. Palmer are named after Captain Palmer. His home in Stonington, the Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer House, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1996.

Yes, the Google Map is set on walking (though I think I was on my bike at the time). But make no mistake--several pedestrians were getting where they needed to go far faster than I was. Lanesplitting laws in the US are easy: you can only do it in CA. I've done it in other states, but the problem is if you get in an accident (which is highly possible, considering cars--even in CA--will intentionally cut you off or open their door in front of you. A buddy of mine (whom you will meet in VA) had a friend who was lanesplitting on the Bay Bridge outside SF. Two dudes in a cage thought it'd be funny to fuck with him and opened their door, causing him to crash. The dude got up, went over to their car and beat the shit out of them both. Lesson: you never know if that guy on the bike is a Navy Seal or not. ;) (In this case he was.)
Anyhow--as long as your speed on the bike is no more than 15% of the speed of traffic while splitting, any fault or injury resulting from an accident will be the fault of the driver (in CA). In the rest of the states I've found that people react with far more hostility than they do in LA (where 1 in 10 cars will actually pull over to give you more space).
Here's what NY traffic is like, though (this isn't me)--and note, not all cops are as nice as this guy, but I found the cops who saw me lanesplit in NY didn't care at all:
Riding on the sidewalk in NY
MeinMotorrad--to further answer your question, other than lanesplitting, the laws in the US are all fairly uniform. A few minor differences/things you have to watch out for while going from state to state:
Street signs (the kind identifying the street you're on) are absent in a lot of states, making either GPS or getting lost mandatory.
In areas where it snows a lot (plows), there are often no white lines signifying a stop sign. While in PA (not on this trip) I found myself blowing through (or almost blowing through) stop signs. They have lots of trees that are not cut back, so the stop signs are nearly invisible, unlike the Western US where a stop sign is accompanied by lines signifying an intersection (and usually a big "STOP" painted on the ground). I quickly learned to be more vigilant while approaching stop signs.
In NY in some counties you can't make a right on a red. This was true in Montreal, too, and it simply makes no sense other than for petrol companies who benefit from lots of cars stopped idling for no reason. In all the rest of the states you can make a right on a red after stopping.
Radar Detectors: State by state. Most states allow them.
