Hartland, VT - Darren Nolet almost couldn't believe what his neighbors said to him, about his home on Martinsville road.
"I couldn't get back down the road and the people at the end of the road said you don't want to see your house," Nolet said.
Now Nolet and his friends are picking up the pieces.
"That tree came down totally across it smashed it," Nolet said pointing to his now ruined boat.
"That tree came right straight across that boat and landed on that porch."
Nolet estimates more than $50,000 of damage was done. His home wasn't the only one hit hard as people toured the destruction.
"I just don't know how to describe it."
Amanda and her son Owen live within walking distance of Hartland Elementary School. Owen had no need to stroll to school today; his was one of eight across the region closed. The dugout for his baseball team in was destroyed.
"It's pretty bad, really bad," Owen said.
All down Martinsville road the picture was clear.
"There's no power. There's no power on the whole street," Nolet said.
Power crews from all across New England have come here to help restore electricity today but even with all of that assistance it could still be out well into Friday
But in the meantime people are recovering how they can.
"Now we're just cleaning up the brush. If I didn't have friends like this it would be terrible," Nolet said.

Alopecia is hair loss, or absence of hair. Alopecia is usually most noticeable on the scalp, but can occur anywhere on the body where hair normally grows. The condition is more common in men than in women.
The most common types of hair loss are believed to be primarily caused by a combination of the following:
However, hair loss is not caused by the following:
Generally, the earlier hair loss begins, the more severe the alopecia will become.
Hair loss can be classified into various types, depending on the cause. Several of the many different types of alopecia include the following:
In addition to a medical history, physical examination and laboratory testing (blood work), a biopsy of the scalp area may help to identify the type of baldness and/or its cause.
Specific treatment for hair loss will be determined by your physician based on:
Most forms of hair loss have no cure. Some types of hair loss will disappear on their own. Treatment may include:
The interest in hair replacement has significantly increased over the past 10 years. Two out of every three men, and one in five women, suffer from hair loss. For men, the main cause of a diminishing hairline is heredity. Hormonal changes such as menopause can cause both thinning and hair loss in women.
There are a number of hair replacement techniques that are available, although hair replacement surgery cannot help those who suffer from total baldness. Candidates for hair replacement must have a healthy growth of hair at the back and sides of the head. The hair on the back and sides of the head will serve as hair donor areas where grafts and flaps will be taken.
There are four primary different types of hair replacement methods. However the last three are not commonly recommended:
Possible complications associated with hair transplantation procedures may include, but are not limited to, the following:

Divemaster internship first few days – Bunaken

It is surreal that my time as a DMT in Bunaken has finally come to an end. My experience here was exceptional, in and out of the classroom.

Lots of excitement in Bunaken this week as usual, both in and out of the water!
Initially, my week started off on a bad note with visa issues. Let this be a note to all who are doing their Divemaster course, get your visa renewal done early. I had thought that it would be a quick process, and it would have been relatively so, if only I had gotten the wheel moving earlier. After I turned my papers into the front desk late last week, I was told the process would take longer than I had expected.

Another reason to love the Internet...
Actress Maureen McCormick, perhaps best known to the world as the eldest daughter "Marcia" on the late 60s/early 70s sitcom "The Brady Bunch"* is coming out with her tell-all book, "Here's the Story." Online rumors have been reporting that her book discusses her affair with Brady co-star Eve Plumb, who played middle daughter "Jan" (whose signature line was, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!")
Anyway, the publisher claims there are NO allegations of a lesbian affair between the Brady sisters.
I guess you'll have to get yourself a copy of the book... or wait till Ms McCormick is interviewed on "60 Minutes" ;-)
* Tho she was "the girlfriend" in the late 1970s amateur wrestling movie "Take Down" starring Lorenzo Lamas, Stephen Furst and Edward Herrmann

Fuming ears and fire-breathing mouths due to spicy foods are, in fact, directly related to the curry-making dragons of the Dark Ages, whose long-standing relationship with eastern foods spans great lengths. Test your fire-breathing skills with today's Groupon: save up to 55% on two or four bunny chows at Habson's Food Centre. Choose from the following options:
- Pay R30 for two bunny chows, valued at R60
- Pay R54 for four bunny chows, valued at R120
With more bells and whistles than a Bollywood movie, spicy food creates taste explosions that could render a mouth incapable of saluting any other food. The Habson's Food Centre supports this movement, creating dishes unlike any other. Located in South Africa's spice centre, the Durban restaurant makes sure that all mouths leave satisfied. Preferring to keep the atmosphere laid back, Habson's lets all the food do the talking, particularly with its tasty bunny chows.
Catering to people who stare death and spice right in the eye, the bunny chow will instantly get your taste-buds excited. Tastiness comes in the form of curry packed snuggly in half a loaf of bread and could easily see your tongue dancing a choreographed Bollywood routine. Regardless of whether you as a pair or a quartet, Groupon-grippers are bound to leave more satisfied than a squirrel with a carrier full of nuts.Food Fact: It was recently discovered that the crumbs inside the Gameboys of the Alaskan teenager population can feed a small village in Kuala Lumpur. The details of this finding can be explored in the book, Knitting Wool for Cow Jumpers and Other Useless Factoids.

I don't know of anything that allows a lookup of what raised the

rmmod, or modprobe to be able to print this information out.
I imagine if it were easy to do it would have been done already...
but I would file a bug against modutils if I wanted to know why it
is not possible. :)
Keep in mind that a process is not required to hold a kernel module
into memory. Two simple examples are mounted filesystems will hold
that filesystem module into memory and an up eth interface will hold the
ethernet driver.

Rift: Storm Legion Official Trailer
Check out the official trailer for Rift: Storm Legion.
by Mike Tao on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Ok hands up who thinks Crucia has one hell of a sexy voice!! She can bend me to her will anytime, yeaaah!!
I didn't play Rift as just burnt out on MMO. But, from what I have seen Trion is the best company working in the space at the moment. I hope they continue to do well.
Hat's off to these guys for all their creativity and hard work. I can't help but think though that Rift:Storm Legion will get trampled by GW2 and MoP.
This is currently one of the best MMOs out there. Trion consistently put out an amazing amount of new content, not just in the expansion. I have played most of the MMOs out there and with the exception of early WoW nothing else comes close. GW2 looks interesting, but probably too much PvP oriented for my taste. Forget pandas and pokemon, bring on Storm Legion.
Now that is an expansion. To hell with this stupid panda crap.
One of the only good remaining MMO's out there..
That was a waste of time.
@neo-rtsd If you mean the time it took you to type "that was a waste of time", then yes it was a waste of time.
This was what I've been waiting for. Been an active Rift susbcriber since launch, and in terms of quality, it's still #1 in my book for MMO's...
Key word: Quality. Something there isn't enough of.

Elite rocked in vote by anti-EU parties

MOSCOW: Some 1,400 people, including 700 army and security officials, have been killed in the violence in Syria, a top aide to President Bashar al-Assad said Monday.
"There are 700 casualties among the army and the police, and 700 among the rebels," Assad's media adviser Bouthaina Shaaban said on a visit to Moscow, dismissing a toll of 2,600 people reported earlier by the UN human rights chief Navi Pillay.
"We have a list of (the victims' names), and we can provide it," Shaaban said following talks with Russia's upper house of parliament's foreign affairs chief Mikhail Margelov.
Her comments came moments after Pillay revised the death toll recorded by the United Nations from the conflict up from 2,200 to 2,600 people.
"With regard to Syria, let me note that, according to reliable sources on the ground, the number of those killed since the onset of the unrest in mid-March 2011 in that country, has now reached at least 2,600," Pillay told the UN Human Rights Council.

Canada's Olympic hockey win could be NHL farewell
LIVE UNDERDOGS: While hockey's traditional powers dominated, a first-time Olympic nation and a perennial underdog made memorable impacts earlier in the tournament. Slovenia arrived in Sochi simply hoping not to get embarrassed, but the team with just one NHL player — Los Angeles Kings star Anze Kopitar — beat Slovakia and Austria on its way to the quarterfinals. Latvia also earned its first Olympic victory in 12 years before pushing mighty Canada in a 2-1 quarterfinal loss with a 55-save performance by Kristers Gudlevskis.
INJURIES ABOUND: Distance, time zones and lost revenue are obvious obstacles to the NHL's participation on Pyeongchang in 2018, but the spate of significant injuries in Sochi won't ease the owners' minds, either. Islanders center John Tavares is out for the season with a leg injury. Rangers forward Mats Zuccarello hurt his hand playing for Norway. Columbus defenseman Fedor Tyutin will miss playing time with an injured ankle. And both of the lowly Florida Panthers' representatives in Sochi — Finland's Aleksander Barkov and the Czechs' Tomas Kopecky — are coming home injured.
GOOD TIMES: Every future Winter Olympics will have difficulty matching the spectacular setup for hockey in Sochi, where organizers built five sparkling NHL-caliber rinks within 500 yards of each other on the Black Sea shores. Players could make the seven-minute trip from the athletes' village on bicycles. The centerpiece Bolshoy was a compact marvel of design and charm, leaving many players hoping a Kontinental Hockey League franchise will move in full time. For all the pre-Olympics worries about safety and distance, the Sochi tournament will be remembered fondly by almost everybody who laced up skates — and everybody lucky enough to be there.

I would like to use Cycle by malsup with Thumbnails like in this example, but, is there a way I can avoid adding a separate unordered list to html markup that specifies thumbnail images?
This example works great, but, the thumbs need to be square and images in slider are rectangular and the pageAnchorBuilder scales the original but doesn't crop to a different pixel ratio.
I've seen an example (nivo) where the "rel" attribute can be used in the to specify a path to a separate thumbnail for that slide which the javascript can "see" without needing a separate unordered list in markup.
Any suggestions? There's probably an example of Cycle that can accomplish this somewhere… If someone can point me in right direction.
Thank you,
This should be easily resolved by replacing slide.src with silde.rel but it did not work. Anyone know why?
Maybe this will help explain issue…
Working version…
Ah, OK. I understand hehe
Now the condition is so inverted. I seem asking about this. :p

I love these pants! They have almost a soft canvas feel to them so they are so super roughed/water proof and last forever! I am so hard on these pants too. I live on a farm and they go through all types of weather. Mud, snow, rain and barbed wire! THey've seen it and I still look cute!! I'm ordering another pair and love all Marmot products now
These pants will be GREAT for outdoor adventures with my huskies. I am 5.7" and 125lbs and ordered a small. The small fits a little snugger than I prefer in snow pants (I wear my pants on my hips not my natural waist), I am exchanging them for medium. The fabric is durable, zippers are strong, and there is a hidden interior velcro system on the inside waist to tighten them up if they are a little big, also,the electric blue and lime are very vibrant. I can't wait to get my exchange!
I recently purchased the pants for my girlfriend for her birthday, and she loves them! She is an outdoor enthusiast, and is a fan of skiing in the mountains of Alaska. She kicks ass at skiing, so if she likes the pants, then they are definitely worth the money. Her only complaint was that they were a little big in the waist compared to the length in the legs.
Great pants, but the sizing is off so I have to send them back (particularly big in the waist). I'd estimate their medium is equivalent to a size 10 with room for a base layer underneath. Took my measurements, should have subtracted about 2" for the Marmot sizing chart to work in real life. The pants are really comfortable, and already insulated, so you won't need anything heavy underneath, even in cold weather. It's cold in my house, but I was warm after about 30 seconds in these pants. I will think of them wistfully when I'm freezing on a chairlift somewhere wearing smaller-sized, yet inferior gear.

Questionable Cases
Statements Regarding Questionable Cases Prosecuted by ADA Mary Kellett
State of Maine v. Chrisotpher Gilley. "However, prosecuting attorney Mary Kellett presented no physical evidence to the jury. Neither the girl nor her clothing were examined after she made the report."
State of Maine v. Michael D. Weber. According to defense attorney Steven Juskewitch, "These allegations didn't even meet the 'more likely than not' standards, and the state went ahead with the same evidence to prove 'beyond a reasonable doubt.'"
State of Maine v. Brian J. Clough. "The girl described the man as 'an old man in his 60s.' The defendant in the case, Brian Clough, was 20 years old.
State of Maine v. Scott Oakes. After the defendant was found innocent, prosecutor Kellett told the press, "I don't buy the 'she likes it, she wanted it' defense."
State of Maine v. Joshua Busby. The testimony of others attending the party consurred that "the woman was being friendly with Busby throughout the night and again the next morning."
State of Maine v. Shawn A. Robinson. "All testified that the young woman did not seem upset and the two emerged from the bedroom."
State of Maine v. Raymond Currier. The defense attorney noted that the 16-year-old girl "had fabricated the allegations in order to avoid punishment for misbehavior at home." The misbehavior included "taking money to school, stealing money from her mother, and lying."
State of Maine v. Jerome Millary. The case involved an alleged action that had occurred 10 years previously during the dissolution of a marriage.
State of Maine v. Raymond Currier. According to defense attorney Steven Juskewitch, "I'd like to review it with experts. I think there are some significant lapses of protocol for conducting the forensic interview." Then prosecutor Kellett attempted to block release of the tapes, stating, "We don't like to release those tapes. We want to keep close control over these."

Mr Spock, the fictional Vulcan famously logical and lacking in emotion, sacrificed himself for his comrades in the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan with the following words to Captain Kirk: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one "
Now, revealing new research shows that people with damage to a key emotion-processing region of the brain also make moral decisions based on the greater good of the community, unclouded by concerns over harming an individual.
It is the first study to demonstrate how emotion impacts moral judgement and sheds light on why people often act out of respect for an individual rather than choosing to act in a more logical, utilitarian way. The findings could cause a rethink in how society determines a "moral good", and challenge the 18th-century philosophies of Immanuel Kant and David Hume.
Antonio Damasio at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, US, and colleagues recruited 30 people for their experiment. Six of the subjects had suffered damage to a region in the front of the brain known as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPC), which regulates emotions. The participants had this brain injury as a result of an aneurism or tumour growth in the VMPC region.
Twelve participants in the study had damage to other parts of the brain but not the VMPC. And the remaining 12 subjects had no brain injury whatsoever.
"Utilitarian" action
The researchers presented participants with various scenarios (scroll to the bottom for several examples) and asked them to make decisions based on the information provided. Some of the situations involved moral decision-making. For example, subjects had to say whether they would throw a person in front of a train if doing so would stop the train from barrelling into five workmen, killing all five.
In such a situation, most people would find it morally unacceptable to push someone to his or her death - even if doing so would save the lives of others. And this was the reaction of the healthy participants or those that had injury to brain regions excluding the VMPC. But people with damage to the VMPC showed a willingness to take this type of "utilitarian" action.
"You have one group that is ready to endorse what we would regard as an overly utilitarian judgment and the other far less" willing to do so, explains Damasio. He notes that the patients with VMPC damage generally made the same decisions as their control counterparts when it came to non-moral scenarios.
Subtle scenarios
Notably, people with VMPC damage were just as likely as their counterparts to endorse "impersonal" moral decisions that involved indirectly putting strangers at risk for the greater good. These impersonal moral scenarios involved, for example, encouraging the use of a vaccine that would protect the public but cause an adverse reaction in a few individuals.
These results suggest that emotions play a crucial role in moral decisions involving personal contact - but not in moral judgments involving distant, indirect impacts on other people. "What's beautiful to me is how subtly different the situations are," says Marc Hauser at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US, one of the researchers involved.
The finding that some moral judgments involve emotions while others do not supports the supposedly diametrically opposed thinking of philosophers Immanuel Kant and David Hume.
"It means both Kant and Hume are right. Philosophers will have a fit because they like to choose sides," says Frans de Waal at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, US. Hume believed that people could be motivated to make proper moral decisions based on their sympathy for others. Kant, meanwhile, warned that moral judgments might be corrupted by emotions.
Personal dignity
Philip Kitcher, who teaches philosophy at Columbia University in New York, US, notes that the study of brain damaged individuals presents a unique challenge to Kant's philosophy. While Kant cautioned against the corruptive influence of emotions, he also argued that individuals have personal dignity, which must be respected.
Yet in the new study, subjects who had impaired emotion processing due to VPMC damage showed the least concern for individual dignity in the personal moral dilemmas that involved directly harming another person to save others. This provides strong biological evidence that emotions enable us to respect individual dignity, says Kitcher.
"Emotions are an anchor for our moral systems. If you remove that anchor you can end up anywhere," says de Waal.
Examples of scenarios used in the experiment:
Non-Moral Scenario: Investment Offer
You are at home one day when the mail arrives. You receive a letter from a reputable corporation that provides financial services. They have invited you to invest in a mutual fund, beginning with an initial investment of one thousand dollars.
As it happens, you are familiar with this particular mutual fund. It has not performed very well over the past few years, and, based on what you know, there is no reason to think that it will perform any better in the future.

That was really the best title for this post, because frankly, it really captures the fact that there are a ton of non-787 first flight things going on and I wanted to at least mention them.
Boeing Leaving Puget Sound?
Scott Hamilton of Leeham Co. says, "Yes." His presentation to the Snohomish County Economic Development Council should make everyone sit up and take note, especially political leaders in Olympia, Hamilton contends. The reality is, Boeing has been leaving in pieces over the years with the corporate relocation to Chicago and 787 business model. A decision within a year about the 787 production rate will likely dictate the necessity for a second production line, which Hamilton believes will be outside of Washington State. Many signs point to this conclusion.
American's new 737s
Consider this the reverse canary in a coal mine, American Airlines took delivery of several of its 76 new 737-800s (N979AN being the 1st). The airline already has 77 737-800s in its fleet all based out of DFW. The new -800s will all be based at ORD and will have a 1% fuel burn advantage over their earlier counterparts and 20% better than the MD-80s they'll replace. The interior of the newer 737s are also outfitted with new fixed backshell seats, largeroverhead storage bins and electrical plug-in ports in every row and a HUD standard at the business end of the venerable narrowbody.
So why is this a big deal? Well, if financing is the lifeblood of aircraft deliveries, then the fact that a US airline has already secured financing for most of its new deliveries bodes well for other airlines that have a demand for new aircraft and just need financing. Though, unfortunately there's not much that can be done for airlines that have no need for aircraft and just opt for a deferred delivery.
Deferrals, Deferrals, Deferrals
Now consider this the actual canary in a coalmine. Three of the world's top 25 airlines (by revenue) made majorannouncements last week deferring major aircraft deliveries. By the numbers: QANTAS – 12 737s, 4 A380s possibly 15 787s. China Southern – 777Fs, 787s and A380s. Cathay Pacific – A330-300s, 777-300ERs, 747-8Fs.
These are all on top of other airlines initiating further deferrals announced this year so far: Air France – 2 A380s, 6 777-300ER and 777Fs. Interjet – 4 A320s. Bangkok Airways – 2 A319s, 1 ATR-72-500. Volaris – 3 A319s. FedEx – 777Fs. Aeromar – 1 ATR-72-500. Kingfisher – 2 A380s. Thai Airways - A380s. Mesa – 10 CRJ700s.
To top it off many airlines are pondering deferrals, but have yet to decide: Singapore Airlines – A380s. Aerologic – 777F. V Australia – 777-300ER.
Everything But The New Design
No 787, no A350, no 737RS, no A30X and no CSeries. The demand is certainly there for these products. However, Airlines, waiting for their aircraft on order or are delaying big purchases, along with Boeing and Airbus, are squeezing every last bit of efficiency out of existing designs before taking out a clean sheet of paper to design a new aircraft. 767-300ERs are getting winglets, bringing their range up 200 miles. A330s are pushing to 7200 nm. 737s and A320 are expected to get a whole host of enhancements. Qatar is ripping out lounges for A340-600 efficiency and RNP capabilities are popping up everywhere. Smart business decisions, yes, but is there an acceleration due to the recession? Let's call it an open question.
What plane is this?
I'm out on my balcony Saturday evening and I see this Delta aircraft fly from east to west over Washington, DC around 6:30 PM. Seeing clear skies above, I grabbed my camera to see if I could figure it out. Well, I'm baffled. First glance says its a 737-800 with winglets, though a closer inspection looks like a 767-300ER with winglets. I thought the only wingletted 767 Delta had was in the old colors? Help me get to the bottom of this!

The new emphasis on patient-centered care, prompted by the Affordable Care Act, is having a spill-over effect. More and more people are documenting what type of medical care they want and don't want through advance directives.
"I call them life-planning documents. It sounds so much nicer. End-of life documents sound so distressing," said Andy Nea, an attorney with Williams Mullen in Richmond, who provides free advice to qualifying seniors on the Peninsula. "It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. If you don't have documents that express your wishes, the government does it for you," he said, citing what happens if you die without a will or become incompetent to express your wishes and require a court-appointed guardian. "It may be the last thing you want. To the extent you can drive the bus, you should," he added.
To that end, medical systems across the state are urging adults of all ages to make their wishes known through the appropriate documents. Advance medical directives, which encompass living wills, have been in existence for decades. Recently, they've been joined by an advance medical directive for mental health, and POST, Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment, which is geared to the final year of life. The latter is still in the pilot stage in Virginia and is not yet available everywhere in the state.
Medical professionals emphasize that just as important as the documents themselves is letting family and friends know, without any ambiguity, exactly what your wishes are for how you want to live and die. And that's for all ages, they say, citing accidents and unexpected health issues.
"What's central to the process is the conversation," said family physician Paul Evans. "My job as a physician is more of a coach, to find out what your goals are and how we get you there. It's part of a broader conversation about care and what your values are."
Carol Wilson, director of palliative care and advance care planning for Riverside Health System, breaks down advance planning into three stages: emergency planning for healthy adults; guided planning for people with a progressive illness; and POST for detailed care for an end-stage illness.
For healthy adults
An advance directive, a written blueprint for future medical care, is recommended for every adult. "We're trying to get away from the message that it's for seniors only," said David Cochran, director Sentara Center for Healthcare Ethics. "In the hospital, when you're sick is not the best time to do it."
Kristol Clemens,34, an intensive care nurse for Riverside, and her husband, Brian, are in the process of drawing up a detailed advance directive. She has seen firsthand what can happen in the absence of written directions.
"I'm involved in situations where people have to make decisions to withdraw care … it's heart-breaking to watch them struggle," she said, citing a case in which a patient was intubated against her wishes. "Her family knew she didn't want it, but she didn't have an advance directive. Then they had to make the decision to end care. It put them in a situation and made them feel guilty," she said.
An advance directive doesn't activate until the patient is unable to make his/ her own decisions. Its importance lies in allowing an individual to appoint an agent to express their medical wishes when they're no longer able to do so. Nea recommends giving an agent the broadest possible power. "What you want today may not be what you want tomorrow," he pointed out. "You need to have a very personal discussion so you don't have to change the document."
The forms include a variety of powers that can be ascribed to the agent regarding your health care, sections where you can determine the extent of life-prolonging treatments administered — such as ventilator, tube feeding, kidney dialysis, antibiotics — and a section regarding anatomical gifts. Clemens emphasizes the importance of being specific in the latter section. "I don't want my eyes messed with and I don't want my body donated to science. It's just my personal preference," she said. As a registered organ donor, Clemens says it's essential to specify any such exceptions.
Naming an agent
Nea dismisses the often-complex forms that the state and some hospitals tend to use. "Some forms have lots of options. That's horrible. It doesn't allow you to change your mind. The key is that you trust the person you name and have the frank discussion," he said.
The person must also be able to honor your decisions even if they don't agree with them, said Wilson. "If they can't do that, then someone else might be a better agent," she said.
Cochran cautions that a family member may not be the best person. He suggests that a spouse may become too emotionally involved to abide by your wishes when faced by very difficult medical decisions. For himself, he has named his best friend from college in a reciprocal arrangement. "He'll sit down and have a real-time conversation with a doctor based on medical evidence and my decisions," he said. "I want my family emotionally present." He emphasized that it's an individual choice and he would never tell someone whom to pick, though many feel pressured to pick a spouse or child. "When we talk to folks, we put that out there that there's nothing wrong with not picking your family," he said. From a practical standpoint, an agent also has to live nearby in order to be physically available when called upon.
Why an advance directive?
With HIPAA regulations, the privacy laws in effect since 1996, it's even more important to have a formal document that allows a trusted person access to your health status, said Nea. It's also essential for same-sex partners, who in the absence of an advance directive are not included in the list of default legal surrogates.
These start with a spouse, and Clemens cautions that even if you're separated and have been for years, the ex is considered first in the pecking order of next-of-kin. She witnessed such a situation that ended in a legal battle over care between an estranged spouse and the patient's mother. "How sad is that, because someone didn't have an advance directive?"
In his pro bono work for seniors, Nea draws up three documents: simple wills, advance medical directives, and a durable power of attorney. "I recommend that you get all three," he said.

Rock critic Jane Scott to be memorialized at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
CLEVELAND - A legendary rock critic fought to bring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to Cleveland. Now, she'll be permanently honored there. A sculpture of "the world's oldest teenager" was unveiled today.
The sculpture features Scott sitting on a bench with a pen and notepad in her hand. On the pad are two questions: "What is your favorite color?" and "What high school did you graduate from?" There is room on the bench for people to sit next to her and have their photo taken. Scott is also sporting her trademark red glasses.
Lakewood native Dave Deming created the sculpture. Deming is the former president of The Cleveland Institute of Art. His work can be seen locally as well as throughout the US.
Jane Scott had a 50-year career with the Plain Dealer. During that time, she covered every major rock concert in Cleveland and ended up on a first name basis with many of rock's stars.
"She covered small, large, insignificant, emerging, every artist that passed through this town. She didn't find any difference between any of them. She was considered to be the first and most significant Rock journalist of all time. We're very proud that happened right here in Cleveland." said Terry Stewart, CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
Scott once said that she realized the world changed after seeing the Beatles perform in 1964.
Friends and family of Jane Scott were on hand for the unveiling of her sculpture. It is located on the lower level lobby of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Scott retired in 2002. She died at the age of 92 on July 4, 2011.

Notes & Reviews:
An American in Paris is one of Gershwin's most sumptuous and best-loved works. He called it 'a rhapsodic ballet' but denied any specific program except in a 'general impressionistic way'. The American visitor strolls, soaking up the city's exuberance, suffering a pang of homesickness, and hearing the Parisian taxi horns - which Gershwin loved so much he brought some back to America with him. Meanwhile Ferde Grofé, who had orchestrated Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, evokes the glories of ravine, rock and cloudburst in his indelibly beautiful and exciting Grand Canyon Suite.
American Record Guide, September / October 2012
The program is very well chosen and sequenced, as is the instrumentation. The use of harp is most effective in pieces like 'La Rotini', because its deep bass notes are not dampened (in contrast to a harpsichord) and therefore they ring out powerfully under the soaring voice-like solo violin melody.
Notes, bios of all seven players. There is no Guerrieri in the ARG index, which makes this an even more welcome release. Among the many fine recordings by Parnassi Musici, of music by many composers, John Barker called a Telemann program "deliciously playful and stylish" (CPO 777301, J/A 2009), and I had high praise for Caldara trio sonatas (CPO 999871, M/A 2003).

A sign is anything that stands for something else. A sign represents somethingan idea, an experience, a feeling, an object, etc. Words as ordinarily used are signs in this sense. The object referred to by a sign does not need to be present for the meaning of the sign to be understood. Context helps define the specific meaning of a sign. (Dictionaries list only general meanings). The word tree generally stands for a large class of plants; if I say, "Look at that tree," I am designating a specific meaning for the word.
As I have defined it, a sign has literal meaning; that is, its meaning is simple and straightforward, a matter of conventional agreement among people who use that particular sign.
A symbol has complex meaning; it has not only "literal" meaning, but also additional meaning(s) beyond the literal. Sometimes the literal meaning of a symbol is absurd, so that the symbolic meaning over-rides and cancels out the literal meaning. A symbol may have more than one meaning. In fact, the most significant symbols do convey an indefinite range of meanings.
In the context of Christian symbolism, a tree can refer to the cross on which Jesus was crucified. Thus, in the right context, a tree can suggest a much wider range of meaning than its simple, literal meaning.
Symbols with fairly fixed meanings can be used as ciphers; that is, the symbols can be arranged to encode a meaning that only someone who understands the cipher system can decode. (Symbols used in this way are not really signs because the literal meaning is not intended; the reader is supposed to decipher the symbolic meaning). In using symbols in this manner, the author has a clear "story" (set of ideas) already in mind; the author simply transposes that pre-existing story item by item into a symbolic system, matching each element in the story with an appropriate cipher. The reader then decodes the cipher by transposing back into the original meaning.
People often treat literature as a cipher, although that works with only a limited number of literary works. Allegory is closest to cipher, but good allegory is richer in meaning and feeling than limited cipher systems.
As I have defined it, a symbol is similar to a metaphor. A metaphor is a statement that means something different, or more, than its literal meaning. For instance, Psalm 103.14 says that God "remembers that we are dust." Literally, human beings are not dust; metaphorically, to call us dust is to express the transiency and humility of human life. Psalm 103 continues, using a familiar simile: "As for mortals, their days are like grass" (103.15a). (A simile is like a metaphor, except that it uses the words "like" or "as" to make a more explicit comparison).
A symbol is different from a metaphor in that a symbol is used more consistently and widely than a metaphor. Also, a metaphor is a statement (even if implied), whereas a symbol need not be a statement. The common element in symbols and metaphors is that the literal, conventional meaning is exceeded or negated by a nonliteral meaning.
Symbols may have very narrow or quite wide ranges of meaning. The range may be limited to an individual, or perhaps to a small group. People other than the individual or group will not understand that meaning of the symbol. A symbol's range may be cultural, meaning that it is known by members of cultural groups: ethnic groups, religious groups, national groups, and so on.
Some people believe that some symbols have a universal range of meaning; that is, like C. G. Jung, they believe that some symbols occur with the same meaning across individual and cultural boundaries. These universal symbols are often called archetypes, especially by followers of Jung. While there is much evidence to support the existence of universal symbols, or archetypes, one must remember that any use of a symbol is specific, and that makes its meaning specific. Just as the word "tree" used in a sentence has a specific meaning, rather than the general meaning given in the dictionary, so an archetype used in a work of art has specific meanings, rather than a general meaning one might find in a dictionary of archetypes. (Such dictionaries exist).
Archetypes include more than symbolsthey also include character types, basic plots (cf. the Monomyth), scenes, and so on. Essentially, archetypes are universally meaningful, nonliteral elements in the arts and culture.
Starting at simplest point, one needs to understand the text at a literal levelto know what the plain sense of the text is. Explanation can help one's understanding by defining words, supplying background information, or otherwise supplying the reader with necessary information for understanding the text.
Meaning in this context designates the significance of the text for the reader: the impact or value the text has for the reader. One can read a text with understanding but find that it has no meaning, since it makes no impact on one.
It is important to grasp that a text can have meaning for a reader without that reader's being able to explain the meaning. Meaning comes first; explanation of the meaning follows.
Read the following verse from Sirach (40.1). It probably does not present any problems for your understanding. Each of you should be able to explain its literal sense, although even explanations of literal sense will differ, since each person reads differently. The meaning of the verse, its significance for you, its impact on you, will vary much more widely.
Hard work was created for everyone.I want to emphasize that both understanding and meaning can, and often do, come before explanation and interpretation. Explaining and interpreting make clear and explicit what may only be implied as one reads with understanding. People often mistakenly assume that one must be able to explain and interpret a text before it has meaning.
and a heavy yoke is laid on the children of Adam,
from the day they come forth from their mother's womb
until the day they return to the mother of all the living.
An ExperimentAfter reading the verse, write briefly on its meaning for you. Try to relate its meaning to elements of your world as a reader, as well as to the world of the text.
The meaning of a piece of writing can be further amplified with a variety of techniques. Some of these techniques involve analysis, such as working out the form or structure of the text. Other techniques involve associating imagery and feelings with the text. Further techniques could make use of research that would extend understanding as well as explanation of meaning.
Surplus meaning does not imply that a literary text can mean anything at all. Although the limits to what a text can mean are vague, those limits do exist. They are established by discussion among readers of the text, by the text itself, and by its cultural and historical context. A reader must be able to convince other readers of the validity and reliability of his or her interpretation. Even so, not all readers will agree.
While the surplus or multiple meanings of literary texts may frustrate those who want single, clear meanings, in fact surplus meaning should excite readers, since it opens the text to reading, rereading, and discussion that continually develop insight and meaning.
Sometimes what is meant by interpretation is "mapping" features of the text onto features of another system of ideas. For instance, some literary critics map texts onto Freudian psychology, or onto existential philosophy. Using the Pentad or the Pollution Cycle can be seen as this kind of mapping.
If the author intended such a mapping of his or her text onto another set of ideas or events, the text itself is an allegory. Biblical allegory may be found in Ezekiel 17 or Hosea 1-3. (Any text may be read allegorically by a clever reader; however, unless the author's intent was allegorical, such interpretations can be very misleading).

His method provides an excellent fit to the smile of the local volatilities model, a standard extension of the Black-Scholes model known to be hard to calibrate in practice. This allows the pricing of exotic options in a way consistent with the smile.

VIDEO: Va. Teen Accidentally Hit By Patrol Car
A Virginia teenager said understands it was a mistake when a Virginia State Police trooper accidentally struck him while he was skateboarding.
Tim Crawford's brush with the law happened about a month ago, but it went viral last week when professional skateboarder Tony Hawk tweeted out the video of the teen being struck by the cruiser.
Crawford walked away with only a scratch and even hung on to his bagel. "It's like a mistake," Crawford told WWBT. "It happens. I'm alright with that."

SKID ROAD at [storefront] Olson Kundig Architects

- Museums/Installations
Project Details
SKID ROAD was an installation that focused on innovative individuals and organizations in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood working to eradicate poverty and homelessness in the Puget Sound region.
SKID ROAD unfolded through a mix of interpretive graphics, original artwork and multimedia presentations. The experience began on the sidewalk with a window installation that invited the public into the [storefront] space. Inside, displays utilized large interpretive graphics to profile nine organizations that are passionately and tirelessly working to provide direct services for, or advocate and bring justice to, the region's homeless population. The organizations included: Bread of Life Mission, Chief Seattle Club, Committee to End Homelessness in King County, Compass Housing Alliance, DESC (formerly Downtown Emergency Service Center), Real Change, Seattle Housing and Resource Effort (SHARE), Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness (SKCCH), Women's Housing Equality and Enhancement League (WHEEL)
The experience continued with an exhibit of work by two artists: Mary Larson, a nurse who paints portraits of her mostly homeless patients and then barters her work for in-kind donations that benefit the homeless community, and Ronald Debs Ginther, an artist who painted scenes of poverty and homelessness in Pioneer Square during the 1920s and 1930s.
Seattle historian Lorraine McConaghy and Pioneer Square gallerist Greg Kucera lent their voices to the installation—respectively providing historical context and their personal perspectives.
Visitors were encouraged to share their own thoughts on the subject of homelessness via questions that are posted within the exhibit and on the [storefront] Facebook page. During the general viewing hours, visitors had the opportunity to share/join the conversation around the large community table.

Romanian Recipes To Celebrate Shavuot
8 comments | Leave Comment
I love the holiday of Shavuot !
As a vegetarian, my everyday life is based on non-meat dishes but this is exactly why I do my best to make the holiday dishes even more special.
A little introduction about the holiday itself:
Shavuot ("Pentecost") is an agricultural as well as historical and spiritual festival in the Torah. The word Shavuot means "weeks" in Hebrew. The holiday marks the ending of the seven weeks' counting, starting on the second evening of Passover.
This counting is based on the commandment in the Torah (Leviticus 23:15-16) to count 49 days -beginning from the day on which the sacrifice containing an Omer of Barley (Omer is a Biblical measure of grains) was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, until the day before the wheat was brought to the Temple on Shavuot. So these seven weeks are the time bridge between the barley and the wheat harvests.
This agricultural festival takes place in the Book of Ruth that we read on Shavuot.
Another reason for the seven-week counting is a religious and spiritual one: On Passover we celebrate our exodus from slavery to freedom. It took the people of Israel seven weeks in the desert to reach the mount of Sinai where they received the Holy Torah. So this holiday marks the Holy bond between G'd and Israel and the day in which the people of Israel received the divine gift of the moral laws of the Torah.
The Torah is referred to as milk, among many other metaphors.
In Song of Songs, chapter 4, there's a beautiful erotic love poem that describes spring in the land of Israel: 4:11 "Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue".
Ancient Jewish Rabbis (Chazal – Our Sages, may their memory be blessed) who studied and explored the Torah, said that this poem, among others, is a metaphor for the strong love between G'd and the people of Israel, when the Torah (Bible) was referred to as Milk and Honey (that should always be under one's tongue).
These are some of the reasons why Jews, especially Ashkenazi Jews (from Europe) eat dairy foods.
I come from a Romanian Jewish family who immigrated to Israel in the 1960′s. I was born and raised in Israel but my grandmother, on my mother's side, used to cook and bake for us Romanian dishes almost every day and she inspired me and had a very strong effect on my love for cooking and baking and I want to dedicate this Holiday article to her.
Although Romanian Cuisine is based mostly on meat, there are also many dairy dishes that I, as a vegetarian, continue to make up till this day.
Here are some of my favorites savory dishes filled with dairy to celebrate Shavuot. Stay tuned for tomorrow I share Romanian Desserts.
Romanian cuisine uses simple, cheap ingredients . One of those is Cornmeal, which we also know from Mexican and Italian cuisine. One of the main dishes in Romania is called Mamaliga. It is actually very similar to the Italian Polenta and is some kind of a porridge made of boiled water and cornmeal cooked together. Romanians eat it with almost anything: Meat dishes, Fried eggs, Cooked vegetables and…cheese.
Classic Jewish Ashkenazic kreplach, but filled with cheese.
Cartofi Frantuzesti – French-Style Romanian Potatoes with cheese.
Savory Papanasi (pronounced: papanash)
Papanash are usually sweet cheese doughnuts or patties. However, I took my sweet recipe and turned it into a savory dish. You can serve them with the tomato sauce or without it. They're great anyway.

These look so interesting Michal, I can't wait to try them. I love polenta so will definitely give the Mamaliga a try and am interested in the Papanash, I think I would prefer savory will keep you posted.
Dear Michal,
thank you for the papanashi – they brought back so many memories.
We used to eat them in Sinaia,
My grandmother from Moldova was making us the steamed version – also with cheese, served with cream and sugar.

THE CARBON tax is upon us. The idea is to impose a tax on fuels based on the amount of carbon dioxide they put into the air when burned. The tax is being canvassed in both Australia and New Zealand - a carbon copy of each other perhaps.
Its latest airing in Australia came last week when the deputy prime minister Brian Howe released a draft report on urban environmental problems. The report, by Economic Information Resources Consulting in Melbourne, pinpointed fuel use as the major cause of air pollution in cities. Among various measures to ease the problem, it recommended improving public transport and imposing taxes to discourage the burning of fossil fuels: coal, oil, and gas.
The report, Australian Urban and Regional Development Review, suggested a tax of A$5 per tonne of emitted carbon, which would increase the selling price of fuel. Motor spirit would be dearer by ...
