Apple Valley's Jim Jackson, the most successful coach in Minnesota high school wrestling history, retired from coaching Tuesday, May 1.
"It's just time," Jackson told the Pioneer Press.
Jackson, 55, is stepping down to spend more time with his wife, June, and 12-year-old daughter, Taylor, a tennis player.
"I want to be a full-time dad and give my wife and daughter the time they deserve," he said. "It is tough walking away, but the program is in good shape. I feel good about what we've done."
Jackson leaves a wrestling legacy that likely won't be duplicated.
An Apple Valley assistant coach for 15 seasons before taking the head coaching job in 1995, Jackson guided the Eagles to a 619-26-3 record. His .958 winning percentage is the best in Minnesota prep wrestling history. The Iowa native has led Apple Valley to 11 of the past 12 big-school state championships.
Apple Valley also won consecutive national championships in 2010 and '11. This past season, the Eagles finished No. 3 in the final national rankings.
Under Jackson, 169 Apple Valley wrestlers qualified for the state tournament. Fifty-six became state champions, and 131 placed in the top six.
"I have been very fortunate to work with great coaching staffs and great kids over the years," Jackson said. "The memories of working hard and achieving success will be with me forever."
Jackson said he will continue to teach physical education at Falcon Ridge Middle School in Apple Valley.
He reiterated he is not interested in coaching at any other level.
Apple Valley activities director Pete Buesgens called it a "sad day" when Jackson announced he was retiring from coaching.
"Jim Jackson is one of the true legends of coaching in Minnesota," Buesgens said. "He took a state powerhouse, built by Bill Demaray, and put it on the national scene. In a business that is focused on relationships, Jim went out of his way to make every member of the Apple Valley High School wrestling program feel important.
"He never once cut an athlete from the program and welcomed every kid, regardless of skill level. He is a true ambassador of the sport, and he will be missed on the coaching staff of Apple Valley High School. However, I have a feeling that he won't be too far away from the wrestling room."

From last years crazy Dayton game. Nice defense, you were scared after you beaned 2 guys and tryed to hit another and when you were confronted by the other players you wind up and turn a piece of the game into a dangerous weapon and drill a fan in the head. How do you hit 2 players and a fan in one afternoon and cry you were the one scared?
Updated: July 23, 2009, 1:35 PM ET
Pitcher: I threw at dugout, not fans
DAYTON, Ohio -- A minor-league pitcher accused of throwing a baseball that injured a fan in Ohio testified Thursday that he threw the ball downward toward a dugout to try to keep opposing players from rushing the field during an on-field melee.
Julio Castillo, 22, of the Dominican Republic, was pitching for the Peoria Chiefs against the Dayton Dragons when the bench-clearing brawl broke out last July. A fan in the stands suffered a concussion after getting struck by a ball Castillo threw; he has pleaded not guilty to felonious assault.
Testifying in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court, Castillo said he had been having pitching control problems earlier in the game, became frightened as the brawl began, and did not throw at an opposing player or with the intention of hitting anyone.
"I saw that the players with the Dragons were coming," the Spanish-speaking Castillo said, testifying through a translator. "I was nervous and frightened. I threw the ball in front of the dugout to see if they would go back. I didn't throw it to hit anyone."
Under cross-examination by assistant Montgomery County prosecutor Tracey Ballard Tangeman, Castillo acknowledged that he threw the ball hard and that it went into the stands.
Castillo is now on the roster of the Boise Hawks, a Class A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, but is not allowed to play. The Cubs are awaiting the outcome of the trial to determine whether his status will change.
In the previous game before the brawl, three Peoria batters had been hit by pitches. In the next game, a Peoria player was hit in the top of the first inning, then Castillo hit two Dayton batters in the bottom half - one in the head. The second batter hit by Castillo, Angel Cabrerra, made an aggressive slide into second to break up a double play.
Castillo followed that by throwing his next pitch up-and-in, prompting Dayton manager Donnie Scott to complain to the home plate umpire. Interim Peoria manager Carmelo Martinez came onto the field to join the discussion. The two managers began arguing, and when Martinez pushed Scott, the benches emptied.
Video from the game shows Castillo throwing a ball, but doesn't show where the ball landed.
Officials in the Midwest League suspended and fined 15 players, including Castillo, and both managers for the fight.

"Goodbye": Glee Season 3 Finale's Best and Worst Song Performances — Do You Agree?
Glee manages to pack an insane number of songs into each episode, which means there will always be a few standouts... along with the inevitable dud or two. We've narrowed the performances from Season 3, Episode 22: "Goodbye," down to the very best and the coulda-done-without. Do you agree with our picks?
Best Performance of the Night: "Roots Before Branches" by Rachel and Finn
We first have to at least acknowledge how much we enjoyed Glee's cover of the New Radicals song "You Get What You Give" (which was the first time anyone has even thought about the New Radicals in the past 10 years). That said, "Roots Before Branches" was truly breathtaking, with some amazing Finn (Cory Monteith)-Rachel (Lea Michele) harmonies. And we assume that someday we'll be able to watch this performance without bawling our eyes out, but that sure hasn't happened yet.
Worst Performance of the Night: "In My Life" by non-graduating New Directions
Maybe this performance is hurt by the fact that this is one the best Beatles songs ever (so much to live up to!), or by the fact that previous Beatles renditions on this show have been insanely powerful (think "Blackbird" or "I Want to Hold Your Hand"). Whatever the case, something about this performance was lacking, and the song feels like a detour into bland city. Still, we have a feeling that those Beatles guys just might make it after all.

Chermoula is a traditional North African marinade for fish, especially in Morocco where, surprisingly, it's often used with shad. It has become very popular recently with North American restaurant chefs as a quick and easy (and cheap!) way to add lots of flavor to bland fish. Many old-fashioned recipes don't call for cilantro and parsley at all, but the fresh flavor of the green herbs adds a great deal to the preparation.
Instead of shad, which is hard to find even when it's in season, and very difficult to bone, I use salmon steaks or fillets. You could substitute many other kinds of fish, including swordfish, halibut, haddock, and even fresh-water fish, such as catfish and perch.
YIELD: Makes 6 servings
Chop the cilantro and parsley leaves together to a very fine mince. You should have 1 cup of minced herbs. Transfer to a saucepan.
Crush the garlic with the sea salt in a mortar, or using the back of a spoon in a small bowl, to make a paste. Stir in the cumin, dried pepper, paprika, olive oil, and lemon juice. Add to the saucepan with the herbs and mix well.
Have the fish steaks ready in a baking dish large enough to hold them all in one layer.
Set the herb mixture over medium-low heat and warm until it is very hot, but not boiling. Taste and adjust the seasoning. When it is the way you want it, pour the warm marinade over the fish steaks. Cover with plastic and set aside for an hour or so.
When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Remove the plastic wrap and transfer the fish with their marinade to the oven. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the fish is done, basting every 5 minutes or so with the marinade.
Serve immediately, spooning a little of the marinade over each serving.

Mojito and Whiskey Jack each won both races, respectively, in Division 1 and Division 2 in the second day of Big Boat Spring Cup on Saturday Feb 23. Rewarded for their perfect Race Day 2, both won the overall title in their respective division's in the IRC and HKPN classes.
The 2-day regatta organised by Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club comprised five races, with two held last Saturday. If a boat completed all five races, one result discard was allowed to score the lowest net points total to determine the series winners.
Division 1
In IRC Class Division 1, a supreme Race Day 2 for Mojito capped off the Simon Blore skippered J111's 3-1-3-1-1 (6 points net) placings in the five races to narrowly beat Race Day 1 leader Ambush's 1-2-2-2-3 (7). Peninsular Signal 8 with 4-3-1-3-2 (9) was third.
Underlining the trio's dominance at this regatta, all three boats finished on the podium in all five races except once.
Under the HKPN classification, the overall series' placing was identical: Mojito 2-1-3-1-1 (for a net total of 5), Ambush 1-2-4-2-3 (8), Peninsular Signal 8 5-3-1-3-2 (9).
Division 2
In IRC Class Division 2, Whiskey Jack had an almost perfect regatta to beat Vixen by 3 net points after the two were tied for first place after Race Day 1.
Whiskey Jack, a J 109 skippered by Nick Southward, placed 1-1-3-1-1 (net 4) in the five races. After discarding one race result, Whiskey Jack scored the best possible tally. Vixen 2-2-1-2-4 (7) and Talking Head 3-3-2-4-3 (11) finished the series in second and third, respectively.
Under HKPN classification, Whiskey Jack won overall with 1-1-3-2-3 (7), with Vixen 2-2-1-3-4 (8) second and Darling 4-9-4-4-1 (13) third.
Top Dog Series
Next on the yachting calendar, the RHKYC's Top Dog Trophy Series 2012-13 will come to a close this weekend with the running of the HKRNVR Memorial Vase on Saturday March 2.
Ambush is leading the 134-strong field after three of the four pursuit races in the regatta, with Peninsular Signal 8 and Red Kite II in second and third, respectively.

Studio Dumbar's identity for Alzheimer Nederland ticks all the right boxes
We're enormous fans of Studio Dumbar, time and time again they demonstrate that they can turn their talents to any creative problem and come out on top with a clear, communicative design solution. Whether it's signage for a global shipping giant or a new identity for an award-winning international orchestra you can be sure the results will be magnificent.
But what about the branding of an organisation that has less positive associations, representing an illness that affects people's lives both physically and emotionally? Alzheimer Nederland, Holland's dementia support organisation, recently approached the studio to overhaul all of their branding and identity from a clinical, inaccessible green logotype to something altogether more communicative.
Steering clear of the sentimentality that medical branding often takes, the studio created a striking logotype that represents the physical manifestations of Alzheimer's on the brain, paired with bright colours and clear type that renders the organisation instantly more approachable. It's a difficult brief to satisfy, but we think Studio Dumbar have done a remarkable job.

The reason is simple I don't need it to be a phone anymore. I like many have moved on to the droid, but windows mobile had many nice features I don't want to die. The i910 only sells for $40-50 bucks online so it's not worth selling it.
I miss the nice camera, iGO Amigo GPS, Coreplayer for video, S2P for music. I figure the battery life should be able to last a long time if it's not trying to be a phone all the time. I could even use the google voice part of the phone over wifi if I wanted to call from it.
I think if someone could make a kick ass windows wifi browser/media rom many of our Omnia's could live on indefinitely. I mean windows mobile is basically windows CE anyway right?
So is it possible? Lioryte/Waremike/RobStorm I am thinking of you

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
Whisk oil, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, Sherry wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper in medium bowl to blend for glaze. Transfer half of glaze to small bowl and reserve for serving.
Alternately thread shrimp, sausage pieces, cherry tomatoes, and sections of onion wedges on each of 6 long metal skewers. Arrange skewers on large rimmed baking sheet. DO AHEAD: Can be made up to 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill skewers and bowls of glaze separately.
Coat grill rack with nonstick spray and prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush skewers on both sides with glaze from 1 bowl. Grill until shrimp are opaque in center, turning and brushing occasionally with more glaze, 6 to 8 minutes.
Arrange skewers on platter. Serve with remaining bowl of glaze.
* Sometimes labeled Pimentón Dulce or Pimentón de La Vera Dulce; available at some supermarkets, at specialty foods stores, and from latienda.com.

Axel Dörner & Diego Chamy - Super Axel Dörner (Absinth Records, 2010) ****½
By Stanley Zappa
To quote Nate Doward in the December 2002 issue of Cadence magazine:
"...his abilities as a trumpeter have dwindled to almost nothing. His entire sonic palette is now little more than flatulent releases of air, fed through a reverb device which is kept in the "on" position for the entire performance. At best the results are innocuously atmospheric – rather like the echoey sounds one might hear in a documentary on whales...it's hard not to find the trumpeter's playing solipsistic, even weirdly infantile, in its regression to the sounds of gurgling, breathing and farting, its indifference to line, shape or direction, and its inability to enter into meaningful dialogue."
Though talking about Bill Dixon, Doward may as well be talking about the state of the trumpet in Improvised music/Art music. In talking about Dixon, particularly Dixon's abilities as a "trumpeter" Doward forever gives us a litmus test with which to place improvised music created on the trumpet. Super Axel Dörner by Axel Dörner and Diego Chamy passes (or fails, depending on how you see things) for the simple reason that without Bill Dixon, there would be no Axel Dörner. Indeed, without Bill Dixon, there would be no "modern" trumpet as we understand it today. Without Dixon, not only would there be no Axel Dorner, but there would be no Franz Hautzinger, no Nate Wooley, no Rob Mazurek, no Stephen Haynes, no Taylor Ho Bynum, no Birgit Ulher nor any of the future generations of trumpet players influenced by the above mentioned. Excessive? Then how about none of the above mentioned—or the trumpet as we know it—would be the same. That Dörner, like all of the above mentioned, has taken Dixon's developments with the instrument and incorporated them into a compelling sonic strategy all his own is only to say that Dörner has good taste; in the words of Kierkegaard "He who is willing to work gives birth to his own father".
If I had to guess those "flatulent releases of air" will simply come to be known as "the way the trumpet is played" while the carressed, thoughtful birthings of perfect little sine waves will enjoy the same relevance the flintlock musket enjoys today. That is the inescapable feeling when Dörner juxtaposes the one against the other—Dörner's fluency with the "weirdly infantile...gurgling breathing and farting" spectrum of the trumpet is that convincing.
As for "flatulent releases of air, fed through a reverb device which is kept in the "on" position for the entire performance" unless he is circular breathing, Dörner employs electronics towards the ends of super human durations of sound. At no point does this come off as gimmick, so no need to call the Guinness book of World Records. Dörner's use of electronics is thoughtful, deepening and prolonging occasions for tonal introspection; deepened without succumbing to garish 16th note cookie-cutter "sophistication," prolonged without look-at-me-I'm-circular-breathing-repeated triplets.
Diego Chamy can be heard on "vocals" and "percussion." Imagine Diana Krall and Dave Weckl. Then imagine the exact opposite and rejoice in Super Axel Dörner's "indifference to line, shape or direction," delight in the absence of so-called "meaningful dialogue" in their interaction. Everybody knows indifference to line shape and form x absence of meaning = infinite creative possibilities (Art, if you will)—just as everybody knows that "caring" about line shape and engaging in "meaningful dialog" is where glittery puffs of Grammy award winning commodity twaddle come from.
In the future, corporate boppers will reference Super Axel Dörner when looking for clues on how to value add their latest release with a track or two of outre-exotica. Why not treat yourself to the real thing?

Thanks for a very entertaining review. It's not often reviews of such music make me smile. But importantly some very salient points about how improvised music is perceived are well made. Not too sure the album is for me but my interest is certainly piqued. Writing like this is why I keep returning to this blog. Keep it up

Plans revealed for a new Solway wind farm
Last updated at 15:22, Friday, 13 September 2013
Plans for a new offshore wind farm in the Solway have been revealed.
The Scottish Government has launched a consultation as it aims for the country to receive all its electricity from renewable sources by 2050.
It wants to use the Solway for renewable energy and has identified two wind options for the area.
It is not yet known if the plan is to extend the 60-turbine Robin Rigg wind farm, which can be seen from Salterbeck in Workington to Silloth, or to find a new location.
Marine Scotland held a consultation in Maryport this week.
Phil Gilmour, of Marine Scotland, said the schemes were in the early stages of planning.
He said: "We have identified wind, wave and tidal projects around the Scottish coast.
"Technology is progressing all the time and we will not know the size of any offshore wind farm on the Solway until we see what turbines are available."
He said Marine Scotland was consulting with everyone who would be affected by the decision.
But fishermen said another offshore wind farm could destroy their industry.
John McAvoy, chairman of Maryport Fishing Co-operative, said: "If there has to be another wind farm it must just be an extension of Robin Rigg.
"If it goes anywhere else on our fishing grounds it will destroy us. We can't afford another large exclusion zone."
Maryport fisherman George Southwell said the industry had been told when Robin Rigg was completed that they would be able to fish around and between the turbines, but they can't.
He said: "It is just too dangerous to fish with mobile gear between the turbines. That ground is totally excluded to anyone. We can't fish there because we can't do it safely."
The £330 million Robin Rigg wind farm was officially opened by operators E.on in 2010.
Each turbine stands 410ft above the water, seven miles off the coast of Maryport.
When the plans were first mooted, they caused outrage.
Cumbria County Council and Allerdale council refused to give the plans their backing, but because the area falls under the Scottish Government's jurisdiction, they could not officially object.
A second wind farm would also be in Scottish waters, despite the possibility of it being close to the West Cumbrian shore.
John Mitchell, a fishermen and former member of Friends of the Earth, asked Mr Gilmour if there would be local jobs.
Mr Gilmour said: "Obviously our first commitment is to the people of Scotland but if there was some way we could involve West Cumbria we would certainly look at it."
Workington MP Sir Tony Cunningham said: "We will need to look very carefully at the plans and weigh up the benefits to West Cumbria.
"Robin Rigg caused a wave of protest when it was first talked about, but it created 43 jobs and is serviced from the Port of Workington.
"I will be asking the questions of how we can make the most of a new wind farm and how our community can benefit from it."
A spokesman for the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty said the organisation had not seen any proposals and declined to comment until it had.
Marine Scotland's consultation ends on November 13 and it a draft plan could be presented to Scottish ministers next year.

Have your say
Why is it that we have to have more of this visual pollution when we are sitting on millions of tons of coal?
All the money that has been thrown at this folly could have been invested in developing clean coal technology.
Another expensive development with negligible CO2 reduction and unknown impact on a marine environment already under threat from climate change and man's activities. All dictated by EU climate policy ,recognised as having failed spectacularly to bring down CO2 emmissions in a meaningful fashion.Have we not learned anything !

Replying to: Confused about WCMDA / HSDPA capabilities in N75 by Sam K
Sam K said:
The article states that the N75 supports WCDMA but "lacks HSDPA". I thought they were the same but after looking at the PhoneScoop glossary, it appears that HSDPA is an upgraded version WCDMA. I thought that Cingular only supports HSDPA. Does that mean that they also support WCDMA kind of like how EDGE phones also support GPRS?
Yes. HSDPA is simply a speed enhancement to WCDMA.
In the same way, EDGE is simply a faster mode of GPRS.
Can a WCDMA capable phone like the N75 take advantage of the HSDPA capabilities on the Cingular network but just at a slower speed?
It's not accurate to say that it would "take advantage of the HSDPA capabilities". HSDPA is simply a faster mode of WCDMA. Therefore it's really only accurate to put it the other way around: an HSDPA phone can "take advantage of the WCDMA capabilities on the Cingular network but just at a faster speed".
The N75 is not the first WCDMA phone for Cingular without HSDPA. There was also the Samsung ZX-10 and LG CU320. They work fine on Cingular's 3G WCDMA network, but simply can't take advantage of the faster HSDPA data mode.
Cingular's 3G network is 100% WCDMA, but because they built it so much later than the European carriers, they simply used the newest WCDMA network equipment available, which supports the faster HSDPA data modes.

For those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their caregivers, planning for the financial future is extremely important. Individuals with Alzheimer's need to think about the costs associated with medical professionals, prescriptions, assistance in or outside the home, and long-term living arrangements, all of which can add up and drain personal savings very quickly. As early as possible, gather information on all options for payment, and decide which are best. In addition, the caregiver's and other family members should review their own finances to determine whether and how much they can contribute. A lawyer can advise the family about establishing a Durable Power of Attorney for Finances.
Gather important finance-related information for the person with Alzheimer's disease including:
Investigate the following payment options:
Government benefits programs:
Private insurance plans:
Loans and personal savings:
There are many organizations that can offer resources and assistance. A full list of resources for financial aid can be found here.

Over four centuries span the earliest known images of Giza and the
present. At that early point depictions of Egypt were often prone to
error and seldom first hand but their record is a useful one. Through
these historic images we can plot the rediscovery of an ancient nation,
looking at the details as they began to fill out over time. In part one
below I'll look at this period and the artistic platforms Giza's image
appeared in as it developed through to the 1700's.
In part two
I'll look at the noted artists of the Orientalist, Pre-Raphaelite and
Academicism art movements, who travelled to Giza in the 1800's. These
artists stood at Giza and stared, they recorded their gaze capturing the
pyramids and Sphinx prior to excavation and deeply entrenched in huge
drifts of sand. Many of their works may be familiar to you, likewise
many earlier renderings too, but I hope I can introduce you to some new
artists who have used their craft at Giza.
You can find the full collection from 1200 to 1920 at my site Visualising Giza
Ceiling mosaic at St Mark's Basilica, Rome (1200's)
Our visual journey begins with the gold and bronze
mosaics of St Mark's Basilica in Rome. Finished in the late 13th century
its domed atrium ceiling depicts many Old Testament scenes. (1)
Among them Joseph standing before the pyramids with bales of wheat, a
representation of the Christian myth that the pyramids served as
storehouses for Pharaoh's lean years. The artists who completed the
mosaics were unknown, local and possibly worked from the Cotton Genesis
manuscript, a 4-5th century Greek Illuminated manuscript copy of the
Book of Genesis. Sadly this was damaged in a fire in 1731 leaving only
35 of its original 165 leaves.
Gates of Paradise, Florence Baptistery (1452) original and copy which now sits in its place.
The pyramid as biblical detail emerges again in the 15th
century with Lorenzo Ghiberti's gilded bronze doors from the Florence
Baptistery. Michaelangelo named Ghiberti's doors claiming they were
worthy to be 'The Gates of Paradise'. On panel no.3 they show Noah
amidst a biblical flood scene, a large pyramid sits as the backdrop.
Ghiberti was an early Italian Renaissance artist, a humanist, a
collector of classical artefacts and a historian. His pyramid is also an
ark rendered from the description of 2nd century Christian theologian
Origen. It is not known to be a representation of Giza but this early
resemblance on such an acclaimed work does make it worthy of note.
1 and 2 - Detail from Cosmographia by Sebastian Munster | 3 and 4 Detail from Cosmographie de Levant by Andre Thevet
From gold and bronze Giza's visual journey makes its way
to woodcut printing through the cosmographers of the 16th Century.
Cosmography was a science that attempted to describe the general
features of the world or universe. Commissioned by the wealthy and
noble they were prized possessions in early libraries. However, neither
Sebastian Munster's Cosmographia (1544) nor Andre de Thevet's Cosmography of the Levant (1556)
provided woodcuts with any sign of accuracy. This was in part due to
the authors practice of using the work of other travellers. (2) Giza was yet to be depicted by someone who had been there themselves.
Panorama with the Abduction of Helen Amidst the Wonders of the Ancient World - Maerten van Heemskerck (1535)
In the 16th century scholars were still disputing which
monuments were the most marvellous, Giza's place amongst the seven
wonders was known but not fully realised. This is especially evident in
Maerten van Heemskerck's oil on canvas Panorama with the Abduction of Helen Amidst the Wonders of the Ancient World (1535) (4) where we can barely see the pyramids and his Seven Wonders woodcut series where they're too narrow.
1 - Maarten Heemskerck's Seven Wonders series (1572) 2 - Pyramids of Egypt by Unknown (1500's)3 right - Sphinx Mystagoga by Athanasius Kircher (1676)
This narrowness was a direct influence from the Pyramid
of Cestius, built in 12BC it is considered one of the best-preserved
ancient buildings in Rome. It was a far easier site for the European
traveller and inspired many visiting artists who established its
proportions as typical of pyramids elsewhere.(5) Rome's Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680) depicted this visual error in Sphinx Mystagoga (1676) but added elements from here-say such as camels, looters and pyramid climbers.
1 - Helffrich (1579) 2 - Unknown (1500's) 3 - Sommer (1591) 4 - Sandy (1610)5 - Hollar (1643) 6 - le Gouz (1653) 7 - Moncony (1665) 8 - Afrique (1668)
The quality of information passed from traveller to
cosmographer to artist or woodcutter gave a cumulative error that
remained in Giza's visual record until the late 18th Century. This is
particularly evident with the Sphinx, which is shown a number of times
as female, with a range of hairstyles and in bust form up to its
excavation in the early 19th century. (3)
Pyramids under construction by Antonio Tempesta (1608) Pyramidographia by John Greaves (1646)
By the 17th century, amidst these errors of
interpretation and here-say, artists began to consider how pyramids were
made. Antonio Tempesta (1555-1630), an Italian engraver, tackled the
subject in his Seven Wonders etched print series, showing it far more
courtesy than the slave depictions that were to follow. His Pyramids Under Construction (1608)
shows a peaceful scene reminiscent of farming landscapes. Influenced
by Dutch landscape painters Tempesta created a Giza easily familiar to
western tastes, his construction techniques recognisable as farm labour.
Toward the mid 17th century John Greaves (1602-1652) an Oxford
astronomy professor under the patronage of Archbishop Laud, visited
Egypt with Edward Pocock, a professor of Arabic also from Oxford. Sent
by Laud in his capacity as Chancellor of the University of Oxford
Greaves was tasked to expand the university's knowledge of Egypt. (6) The resulting work was Pyramidographia (1646) (7)
and from its copper engraved plates the first cross-section of the
Great Pyramid in western published print. A style of representation
continued right through to the 3D animations of Jean-Pierre Houdin
today. (8)
The Great Sphinx of Giza by Cornelis de Bruijn (1698) Profile of the Sphinx by Frederick Ludvig Norden (1755)
Later that century in 1681 Dutch artist and traveler
Cornelis de Brujn (1652-1727) entered Egypt, possibly financed through
intelligence work for the Dutch. (9) Egypt inspired De Bruijn to make drawings for scholars and he heavily invested into the publication of his work Travels in the Principal Parts of Asia Minor (1698).
In it he gave a more accurate depiction of the Sphinx and an early
glimpse into the Grand Gallery, recorded from his own visit.
Unfortunately his engraver did not share his vision of the site and
amended his pyramid proportions to the recognisable slope previously
Collectively the 17th century had a loose grasp of Giza,
entering the mid 18th century things began to change. The Danish naval
captain and explorer Frederick Ludvig Norden (1708-1742) was sent at the
request of the King of Denmark to make drawings and observations of
Egypt's ancient monuments. Norden executed 200 'on the spot' drawings
during his travels in 1737-38 which were later published in the
posthumous Voyage d'Egypte et de Nubie (1755). The work
contained steel engraved plates depicting views, maps and plans and
contained the most comprehensive visual record of Giza published at the
time. (10)
Pyramids (1765) Fantaisie Egyptienne (1760) by Hubert Robert
The first noted works of art specifically depicting Giza were made by
Hubert Robert (1733-1808) a French artist who moved to Rome in 1754.
Staying for 11 years he sketched amidst romantic ruins in the company of
other young artists and was given the moniker Robert des ruines.
Robert never travelled to Giza but this did not in any way impede his
vision of the site, his works Fantaisie Egyptienne (1760) and Pyramids (1765)
captured in oil 'the earliest fully realized Egyptian landscape'.
These works were applauded in their time, are the forerunners to 19th
century Orientalist depictions and have been exhibited in Paris, Rome,
Copenhagen, America, Canada and Vienna. Pyramids is currently on
display at Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton. (11) Fantaisie Egyptienne was sold at Christies in 1999 for $1.1 million and is unfortunately no longer on display. (12)
From 7 Wonders of the Ancient World - a picture book for children by Friedrich Justin Bertuch (1790)View of the Sphinx near Cairo by Viviant Denon (1798)
The years preceding the 19th century offered many notable
visualisations of Giza, yet only a few were by those who'd been there.
In 1796 The improved print technologies of lithography opened a
profitable market in images of new places and cultures. This combined
with the opening up of Egypt, via invasion and the new dynasty of
Muhammad Ali, allowed 19th century artists access to the site.

Soul Food is the soundtrack to the 1997 film, Soul Food. It was released on August 19, 1997 through LaFace Records and mainly consisted of R&B music with a bit of some hip hop. The soundtrack was a huge success, peaking at #4 on the Billboard 200 and was certified 2x Multi-Platinum on February 17, 1998. Four singles made to the Billboard Hot 100--"I Care 'Bout You", "What About Us", "We're Not Making Love No More", and "A Song for Mama"--making it to 23, 16, 13, and 7 on the chart, respectively.
Soul Food is told through the eyes of 11-year-old Ahmad (Hammond), follows the trials of the Joseph family, a close-knit Chicago family that gets together to have Sunday dinner every week, with plenty of soul food to go around. As Mother (Big Mama) Joe (Hall) has three daughters, who each have had varying success in life: oldest daughter Teri (Williams) has become a successful lawyer but has also suffered relationship problems ever since her younger sister Maxine (Fox) stole and married Teri's old boyfriend, Kenny (Sams). Teri's current husband, Miles (Beach), desires to follow his dreams of being an R&B musician. Youngest Joseph daughter Ryla (Long) -- nicknamed "Bird" -- has just opened a barbershop/beauty parlor, and most of the family is uneasy about her marriage to Lem (Phifer), an ex-convict. These problems are complicated when Mother Joe, the diabetic but wise and caring matriarch of the family and the glue that holds it together, suffers a debilitating stroke during an operation to amputate her leg and slips into a coma. Without her guidance, the family begins to fall apart. Teri takes in her troubled cousin Faith (Ravera), who Teri catches having sex with Miles. As an ex-con, Lem cannot find a job, so Bird makes an uneasy deal with her ex-boyfriend Simuel St. James (Mel Jackson) to get Lem a job, but a series of events eventually land him in prison again. By contrast, Kenny and Maxine are reasonably stable, and expecting their third child. Ahmad, Kenny and Maxine's oldest child, is worried about the state of his extended family, and conspires to find a way to bring them all back together.

Raspberry Lemon Salad Dressing
This dressing is called a `vinaigrette' but it does not have any vinegar in it. Vinegar is not an ingredient I use as it is so acidic; I use lemon juice which is healthier and alkaline forming.
My garden is so abundant with raspberries that I am inspired to get creative in my kitchen. After developing several recipes this is my favorite.
This is great with a salad made of romaine, arugula, raspberries, grated carrots and red onion.
1 cup olive oil
1/8 cup lemon juice
1 cup raspberries
1/2 cup water
12 drops Light Stevia to taste
1/8 tsp salt
1. Blend the ingredients in a blender.
2. Pour into a salad dressing bottle or glass jar.
3. Refrigerate; will last from 2 to 3 weeks.
Recipe Tip: Raspberries are tart even when they are very ripe; so you may find that you want to add less lemon juice.

|Most of us know Carnie Wilson (daughter of Brian Wilson of "Beach
Boys" fame) as the lovely icon of fat acceptance who was the guest
speaker at the Million Pounds March one year.
And as many of us know, Carnie in July 1999, decided to get her digestive system disabled in gastric bypass Weight Loss Surgery. The clinic doing the surgery advertised that it was going to be on the Internet but those who jammed the wires for a glimpse of Carnie's insides, were given a few photos of a "sample surgery" (not Carnie's) and a lot of infomercial type advertisement.
Not surprising since Carnie's surgery was a part of a million dollar ad campaign launched by an alliance between the Vista Technologies (manufacturers of laparoscopic instruments) and the Alvarado Clinic.
Carnie has come full circle now. She's lost 160 some lbs and can wear a size 8-10. She has been featured in several magazines, a walking advertisement for WLS (surgeons all over the country say that after the appearance of a Carnie article, their phones ring off the hook).
But how IS Carnie after this surgery? She appeared on Oprah in November of 2000 - the show was re-run earlier this week.
I have watched Carnie for years as a vivaceous, joyful upbeat person with a hearty (very distinctive) laugh - a person who is quite mouthy and likely to interrupt the interviewer, a person who can say four letter words on the air if she feels the urge and a person who launches into an imitation of a famous individual at the bat of an eye.
But this Carnie that I have known for years seems to have disappeared. The Carnie who appeared on Oprah was sober and quiet. She talked incessantly about what food she eats and how it's a daily struggle. "It's SO HARD, " she said emphatically, "Food is SO GOOD!!!!" She stated several times that she was scared into the surgery because she thought she would die soon but that the surgery required will power on a daily basis. She described checking into a hotel, going to the bar and holding a candy bar in her hand, one simple pleasure which was no longer available to her, and cussing at this candy bar as if it were an enemy. "You have to get angry with the food," she commented.
Gone were the hearty laugh, and the joyful character I had known and loved for years. And a film Oprah showed, in which Carnie's sister, Wendy, was interviewed was somewhat revealing about Carnie's decision to have the surgery. Wendy told Carnie and the audience that she had been so worried when Carnie "ballooned" out during their days together as "Wilson-Phillips" and how she finally gotten the courage to talk to Carnie and tell her she had to do SOMETHING and how she was so glad that Carnie had had the surgery and had done so well. Carnie, in watching the film for the first time, broke down and cried.
And for the usually pert, joyful Carnie, it was suprising that this was not the only time she cried on the show... she was actually close to tears several times.
Aside from the physical dangers Carnie faces with the surgery which include liver failure, kidney failure and a shortened lifespan (surgeons are very evasive about the lifespan after surgery and there are few patients around who are more than 15 years post op), it becomes evident that the wonderful, after surgery, quality of life promised by the surgeons, may not materialize at all. Carnie did not resemble someone having a wonderful quality of life. But she did remind me of someone...
Cyclist, Lance Armstrong was an arrogant, cocky young man when he first participated in the "Tour De France". But when he won it two years in a row, he was quiet and thoughtful... had lost all vestiges of his former cockiness. What happened to him? Cancer. A castrophic event.
My sense is that Carnie is also suffering this catastrophic event syndrome from this surgery which in effect, destroyed the most important organ system in her body.
But the Alvarado Clinic went to the bank. Although they did not experience the increase in surgeries that Vista announced in early 2000 (in a press release, Vista claimed that Alvarado went from doing 9 surgeries a week to 25 surgeries a week), Alvarado DID increase their case load from 9 per week to 11-12 per week.
On a national average though, whereas a few years ago, 20,000 of these surgeries were done per year, the estimate is that in 2001, they will do some 45,000 or more of WLS surgeries.
Large people going to the morgue, the surgeons going to the bank... is this the American dream or the American nightmare?

Officials of the Horizons Trust Gambia and their partners in the UK have expressed their determination to partner with the government of The Gambia through the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, to see ways and means of curbing maternal mortality in the country.
This disclosure was made on Monday, by Wendy J Graham, Professor of Obstetric Epidemiology at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, shortly after she and delegation called on Her Excellency the vice president and minister of Women's Affairs, Aja Dr isatou Njie-Saidy.
Professor Graham, who is a member of Soap Box, a partner institution with Horizons Trust International, said she is delighted to be back in the country after almost 26 years. She recalled that when she was in the country in those days the number of women dying from pregnancy and childbirth was very high. "And here I am after 26 years a lot has been achieved by the Ministry of Health through the support of very important stakeholders. So there has indeed been progress in the country as less women and babies are dying but we want to do more. The purpose of my visit here is to work with really keen important people in the country, who understand the issue in the country as well as try and find ways to accelerate progress," she remarked.
She also stated that their aim is to have zero tolerance for death in pregnancy and childbirth. She disclosed that there is a Gambian doctor called Dr James Ndow at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, who catalyses the Horizons Trust together with other renowned doctors. "We share our vision as my responsibility is for a charity called 'Soap Box', an initiative trying to improve clean care at delivery. That's a basic right and it is very important to prevent mothers dying in pregnancy and childbirth and thereby making sure that the delivery is safe," Professor Graham added.
She noted that both institutions share the same vision as they all want to help support progress in maternal and new born health positing that they've come together to combine their efforts so as to make a difference. "So, it is two charities coming together to help save the lives of babies and their mothers in The Gambia," she added.
Professor Graham was quick to add that Horizons Trust has been working in The Gambia for a while and that this is her first visit in connection to Soap Box initiatives. She disclosed that they want to move quite fast while expressing optimism that by the middle of the year, they will see how best it will be possible to identify some specific activities like training or trying to raise awareness about the importance of clean delivery among a host of others.
UN Country team
Similarly, officials of the UN country team and their partners based in Dakar, Senegal, Monday also called on VP Njie-Saidy.
The UN officials were at the presidency to hand over a National Action Plan for the Security Council Resolution (13)(25), a resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council on Women Peace and Security to the officials of the Gambia government.
Speaking to reporters shortly after an audience with the vice president, the senior Human Rights Advisor Chief, Human Rights and Gender Section at the United Nations Office for West Africa, Patrice Vahard, explained that the resolution not only deals with issues relating to the suffering and the violations women go through in the context of conflicts, but also dwells on women participation and as agents of peace and security.
Vahard averred that the resolution means a lot for The Gambia, acknowledging the fact that Gambian women like their colleagues in the international arena play a key role in the maintenance of peace and security.
He said it is important that The Gambia has now adopted a National Action Plan to dig out more and more women as well as groom them from early age to adulthood to enable them play a key role in peace and security not just internationally but within the community. This, he added, will further ensure that they participate meaningfully in national development.

Philips Introduces iDose4 Premium Package
The iDose4 Premium Package from Philips includes two technologies that can improve image quality: the iDose4 iterative reconstruction technique, and metal artifact reduction for large orthopedic implants (O-MAR).
iDose4 allows radiologists to personalize image quality based on each patient's needs. This advanced iterative reconstruction technique provides up to 57 percent improvement in spatial resolution at low dose, and the majority of iDose4 reference protocols are reconstructed in 60 seconds or less. Image quality is enhanced through (O-MAR), which reduces artifacts caused by large metal implants, such as prosthetic hip replacements. Together, the technologies of the iDose4 Premium Package (iDose4 and O-MAR) produce high image quality with reduced artifacts.
The iDose4 Premium Package was showcased at the International Society for Computed Tomography (ISCT) Annual International Symposium June 17-20, 2012 in San Francisco.

Despite this season's election-year politics, the Obama administration needs to acknowledge mistakes at the U.S. consulate in Libya, where four Americans were killed last month in an apparent terrorist attack, and to learn from them. That's the only way to make sure such tragedies aren't repeated in the future, and it's also the only way to move forward if we are to be successful in apprehending the perpetrators and bringing them to justice.
The attack on the American consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, in which U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens died, became the subject of heated debate at congressional hearings in Washington this week. Republican lawmakers charged the State Department with covering up intelligence reports warning of an increased terrorist threat during the weeks leading up to Sept. 11. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa went so far as to accuse Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice and others of deliberately lying about who was responsible for the attack in order to maintain the administration line that terrorism is in retreat.

The Israeli film "Ajami" has made the first cut in the Oscar race by being named among nine semi-finalists in the foreign-language film category.
The nine movies were selected from among 65 entries and will be winnowed down to five when all Oscar nominations are announced Feb. 2.
"Ajami" paints an unsparing picture of Arab-Jewish and intra-Arab tensions in a mixed quarter of Jaffa. Its co-directors are two young Israelis, Scandar Copti, a Christian Arab, and the Jewish Yaron Shani.
Also picked was Germany's "The White Ribbon," which has gotten the most buzz and won the Golden Globes pick for best foreign movie. The film by Michael Haneke is set in a rustic German village around 1914, whose seemingly placid life holds the seeds for the Nazi flowering to come.
Other semi-finalists are:
Argentina, "El Secreto de Sus Ojos."
Australia, "Samson and Delilah."
Bulgaria, "The World Is Big and Salvation Lurks Around the Corner."
France, "A Prophet."
Kazakhstan, "Kelin."
The Netherlands, "Winter in Wartime," in which a Dutch boy aids a downed British pilot during World War II.

I have looked through them all to pick the deal you just can't miss! Whether it's an on trend item, a fantastic sale or a classic staple piece, rest assured I will give you the daily deal worth buying.
I don't know about you, but I have been drooling not only over the gowns at the awards shows but the jewelry! The A-listers get to wear the most glamorous earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets.

The flavour was fine, but the cooking time was way too long for my liking. I cranked the heat up to reduce the time.
I don't mind the 2 hr roasting time, but did find that I had a lot of cheese and dressing for the amount of tomato. The flavor is amazing.
The flavors are good, but I'm not sure the roasting of the tomatoes is really required. I think this would be fine with fresh tomatoes, maybe let them marinade for a while. I also thought it n...

Apple reveal iPhone 5 preorder figures0
After announcing that they were "completely blown away" by demand for the new iPhone 5, Apple announce that they received more than 2 million preorders in just 24 hours.
This is more than double the 1 million figure that the iPhone 4S saw, and shows that consumers aren't put up by the minor improvements.
The iPhone 5 will feature 4G LTE, a 4.0″ display, and new design among other things, and some were saying that these changes will not be big enough to bring in lots of customers.
Having said that however, expectations were high after Apple's servers were overwhelmed on Friday and many carriers had also set pushed back estimated times of delivery.
Philip Schiller, Apple's Head of Marketing, said "iPhone 5 preorders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal."
Customers have been showing their dedication in other ways as well, with some Apple fans already queuing up outside stores, and with some arriving as early as Friday, that's a whole week before launch!

I recently updated my 2011 rankings as well as my big board and figured I'd give a little insight to how I ranked the quarterbacks. The overwhelming majority of draftniks out there have Jake Locker as the top draft-eligible quarterback and many have him as the top player overall. I think Locker is an elite prospect, don't get me wrong, but I'm not as sold on him as others. Let me explain why…
Andrew Luck is my top quarterback and top overall player because I think he's the closest to being a can't-miss prospect. Physically, I love everything about him. He has the arm to make every throw on the field, he can buy time with his legs and he has field awareness well beyond his years. I think too many people are scared off simply because he's a redshirt sophomore. If he had played exactly the way he did last season and was entering his junior or senior year, I believe a lot of people would view him more favorably.
As for Locker, I also love his physical tools. And he may actually have a higher ceiling than Luck. However, I have concerns about his decision making. He has yet to complete over 60 percent of his passes in a season – a good benchmark for a college quarterback to shoot for – and throws far too many interceptions. In 2009, Locker threw a pick once every 35 pass attempts. Luck threw one only once every 72 attempts.
Locker also struggled with his awareness in the pocket. Despite having the athleticism to avoid sacks and extend plays, he's brought down in the backfield far too often. Locker was also sacked once every 15 dropbacks in 2009. Luck was sacked only once every 49 times he dropped back. Certainly the offensive line plays a role in that stat, but Stanford's line is certainly not that much better than Washington's.
Ultimately, I think both guys will end up being high draft picks and they both have very bright futures. In April if someone drafts Locker ahead of Luck, I probably won't argue with the decision. In fact, I may even change my mind if Locker makes major strides this season – he certainly has the talent to do so. But at this point in time I simply think Luck is the more NFL-ready quarterback and would be less of a risk for a team like the Bills, Browns or Jaguars to select early in the draft.

A member of the buttercup family, black cohosh (Actaea racemosa) is a perennial plant with feathery white flowers that is native to the eastern United States and Canada. The herb was called Black because of its dark roots, and Cohosh is an Algonquin Indian word for "rough," referring to the plant's knotted root structure. The roots of black cohosh have been traditionally used for more than two centuries by Native Americans and Europeans to help support women's health.
Alvita Black Cohosh possesses a beautiful caramel color with a slightly bitter taste and a distinct earthy aroma.
For more than 75 years, long before it came fashionable, Alvita was championing the profound beneficial properties of herbal teas. Alvita searches the far reaches of the globe for the finest herbs, the best growers, the most precious sources. Small wonder that so many consumers trust the Alvita name. Today, it stands for a broad array of different teas, including classic singe herb varieties and the unique Alvita blends. The package you hold in your hand combines ancient herbal wisdom with modern science and brings to you all the richness and benefits of herbal teas.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 4, 2009 NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer introduced Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen as his successor in the alliance post during an end-of-summit press conference in Strasbourg, France today.
Scheffer shared the podium with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who co-hosted the summit.
Rasmussen pledged to continue the good work begun by Scheffer to transform NATO to handle the challenges of the 21st century. He will assume leadership of the alliance on August 1.
Scheffer said the summit of the 28 NATO nations went well, and European nations have pledged to send another 5,000 troops to Afghanistan.
Sarkozy complimented the role President Barack Obama played during his first NATO summit. He said the president was easy to work with, "he showed his leadership, he showed how committed he was" to the alliance.
Scheffer listed the accomplishments of the summit, including Albania and Croatia becoming full-fledged members of the alliance.
"In the summit declaration we say we welcome France's decision to fully participate in NATO structures," Scheffer said.
On Afghanistan, the NATO leaders discussed strategy, "and the alliance is united in the need for an overall reagional approach." The alliance heads agreed more civilian personnel are needed and they offered long-term commitments to the fight, Scheffer said.
"They backed up this commitment with resources," he said. "We have established a NATO Training Mission Afghanistan to oversee high-level training for the Afghan National Army and training and mentoring for the Afghan police."
The alliance will deploy the necessary forces to support the Afghan elections in August, he said. NATO countries will provide 5,000 additional personnel and most will concentrate on providing security for the election activities.
"We will also maintain the trust fund to sustain the larger Afghan Army," Scheffer said. "The bottom line is this: when it comes to Afghanistan, this summit and this alliance have delivered."
The alliance chiefs also discussed NATO relations with Russia. The alliance members understand they must cooperate with Russia and want to do so, Scheffer said.
"We want to use the NATO-Russia Council to its fullest potential, to step up cooperation from Afghanistan to arms control to anti-piracy," the secretary general said. "But we must also use the NATO-Russia Council to air our difference – and we have real differences."
The Russia-NATO relationship can deliver more than it has to date if all parties take the necessary steps, he said.
"We will engage Russia in that spirit," Scheffer said.
A final aspect of the summit was the future of the alliance. The North Atlantic Council agreed to update the 1999 strategic concept.
"The new concept, which will be agreed at the next NATO summit, will need to update the theory with what we already do – from piracy, to cyber-defense even to Afghanistan," he said. "And it has to give direction to what NATO must do more in the 21st century."
