'House' - 'Knight Fall' Recap
One of the hardest things for a long running show to do is keeping the audience guessing. That's not normally a problem for 'House,' a show that throws around more 15-letter medical words and scientific terms than a 'NOVA' marathon.
'House' - 'Private Lives' Recap
(S06E14) Usually when an episode of a long running show just goes through its tried and true motions, it feels lazy and slapped together. But in the case of 'House,' it makes for some tasty viewing, even with the vivid description of poop.
Note to self: never order the Bangkok Special before sitting down to watch 'House.'
Review: House - Wilson
(S06E10) "They're all dying. They're all your friends." - House
Episodes like this are why I've faithfully stuck with House after six and a half seasons. Sure, more often than not, House can get stale -- it's the same thing, week in and out, and even something shocking (like Kutner offing himself last year or Cameron saying good-bye two weeks ago) isn't enough to take away from the fact that it's just another episode with another wacky case. But episodes like "Broken", and now "Wilson," are proof that there are so many more layers that need exploring in the world of Princeton Plainsboro.
House: Joy to the World
(S05E11) "Merry Christmas, Cuddy." - House to Cuddy on the potential adoption of her new baby
Once again it's Christmas at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital. Or, rather, it was Christmas at a Princeton-Plainsboro of an alternate reality. That's because our favorite characters were opposite of their normal selves. Foreman was out of House's shadow, Kutner was angry, Cuddy came up with the diagnosis instead of House, Thirteen was smiling, and House was ... House was ...
House: Last Resort
(S05E09) Here's a bit of irony for ya. Before this week's episode of House began my family was in a lockdown situation of its own after someone, either a home invader or home owner, knocked out seven shots during the early afternoon right down the street from us. The police came along and ended up doing the yellow tape thing around the area, keeping the rest of us from going out until their fugitive search and investigation were done.Sure, no one had a gun pointed at us. And, I wasn't in a hospital. And, I didn't have to take a series of drugs in order to prove they were safe. But, I was stuck in my house for over two hours. So, you know, I can relate. With that, let's get to this week's "very special" episode of House.
House: Emancipation
(S05E08) What is Foreman's role in House's little kingdom? From the deep recesses of my dusty brain I recall a conversation he had with Cuddy that his job was to be some sort of monitor to make sure House didn't, you know, rip the lungs out of a live patient just to make sure they were really and truly pink and healthy. But, to be honest, I haven't seen much monitoring going on over the last few episodes.I have seen lots of sitting and moping and an all-around indecisiveness in Eric since he returned to Princeton-Plainsboro. Maybe he was regretting the decision he made, maybe he was still trying to learn from the feet of his mentor, or maybe he was reliving his past life as suicidal County General doc Dennis Gant from ER. That may have changed this week as, finally, he decided to branch out on his own.
House: Lucky Thirteen
(S05E05) All right, all you pervs! Calm down, calm down! You've all had a chance to see the promo that FOX distributed to promote this week's show and you all gave me a keypad-full on what you thought. So, just put it back in the place where you usually have it stored and let's move ahead with the review.
So, how about that examination scene, huh? Yowsa! Now that was porn! There was so much sexual tension it was oozing out of the screen. I'm surprised I didn't hear 'Bow-chicka-chicka-bow-bow' in the background -- the usual precursor to an extended sex scene. Not, you know, like I'm familiar with that genre of film. I mean, I've never seen a porn movie in my life. Ever. Hey, don't look at me that way!
Ahem. Sorry about that. Let's...uh...let's get going with this week's review.
House: Birthmarks
(S05E04) "Bubbles" -- Thirteen
"Is that your new stripper name?" -- House
And so, one chapter of Dr. Gregory House's life ends and another one begins...again. Together, these life-changing events may lead to a kinder, gentler diagnostician who will befriend his colleagues, treat others on the staff with respect, and prevent him from making constant lewd remarks to Cuddy.
Bwah-hahahahahahahahaha! Oh, I slay me! Kinder and gentler? Bwah-hahahahahahaha!
House: Dying Changes Everything (season premiere)
(S05E01) "This is Dr. House. He's too brilliant for introductions." -- Thirteen to House's patient of the week
Another season of House, another patient with a mysterious ailment. If there is one thing that has not changed in the five seasons that this medical procedural has aired it is the fact that someone is going to enter Princeton-Plainsboro with an illness that can't be determined until the very last minute. It's why House is still on the air. Well, there's that, and then there's the fact that Hugh Laurie is a damn fine actor. Oh, and the others on the show don't do so badly themselves.
So, what can one viewer look forward to for this new season? If you think same-old, same-old then you would be absolutely, totally....incorrect. Because things are a-changing in Greg House's universe -- actually have been changing since the death of Amber in last season's finale -- that he can't, or won't, stop. The result? Well, I would be writing my own death sentence if I revealed it to you here. So, come and join me for a recap of this week's episode.
The Excellence in Outsourcing Award: Winner - VIDEO
House: Don't Ever Change - VIDEO
(S04E12) "People don't change." -- House, who mentioned it several times.
So Wilson is going out with Cutthroat Bitch (aka: Amber), huh? And, for awhile all is well. That's a pretty good record for Wilson, and devious as hell since he was able to keep it from House for so long. Of course, there is now a challenge for Greg to figure out why Amber seems such a catch for his best friend.
Manipulation? Well, that's a possible answer since Wilson is directly connected to House and can be the avenue to get her a fellowship. Revenge? Certainly, especially the way the good doctor treated Amber during the competition. Actual love and affection for Wilson? Nah, couldn't be! I mean, that would just be ludicrous coming from someone who was only concerned about herself during the game. Come on, doesn't anyone remember when she got all of those candidates to stop washing House's car and walk away from the competition? Plus, according to House, people don't change.
House: Guardian Angels
(S04E04) Wilson -- You're quite impressed with yourself right now, aren't you?
House -- Who wouldn't be?
After a brief baseball break, House returned with a pretty decent episode. Not only did we get to see a further fleshing out of the new characters, but also witnessed additional connection between the old and new team members. Plus, we found out that trying to find a job outside of Princeton-Plainsboro when you worked for House was not the best thing to do.
House: 97 Seconds
(S04E03) Do your sex organs dangle, cutthroat bitch? -- House, speaking to Amber
Geez, Jen got the easy reviewcap last week. I think there were 32 different subplots in this week's episode of House. It was almost like watching an episode of Lost. Well, might as well sit down and get comfortable, because here we go.
We were graced with two different patients this week. The main one, and the one that the remaining candidates worked on, was a young man who had a degenerative muscular condition who suddenly fainted in the middle of a busy intersection. The second patient, the one that was treated by House alone, had recently been in an auto accident and was seemingly suicidal.
The seven TV neighbors you'd want in real life
The real neighbors you want are ones who are courteous, quiet, and friendly. Or hot. Here are the seven television neighbors you'd want in real life:
House's Robert Sean Leonard and Katie Jacobs speak
The Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan has an interesting article on the hit FOX series House, including interviews with actor Robert Sean Leonard (who plays Dr. Wilson, both friend and foil to the incorrigible Dr. House) and Katie Jacobs, the show's executive producer. Despite his character growing on fans, Leonard claims he wants to keep his role small so he has free time to spend with his wife. Ah, that's sweet. We also get some insight into Hugh Laurie, who plays the titular role. Apparently Laurie is very self-critical when it comes to his American accent. Personally, I think he does it flawlessly, which is more than I can say for Michael Caine.
Oh yeah, and a reminder to House fans that the first part of a two-part episode airs this evening.

Clinical Supervision & Training
Clinical Training
To keep clinicians current with the ever-changing clinical scene, Community Reach Center requires its clinical staff to gain at least 28 hours of continuing education each year. To supplement this requirement, we offer group training presentations on a monthly basis. Many of these trainings, such as our DSM-IV Refresher Series, are hosted in-house and are run by Community Reach Center clinicians. Typically these in-house trainings are scheduled to take 1-2 hours during regular business hours so that clinicians may attend on work time.
Community Reach Center also periodically brings in top experts from around Colorado and the country to train staff in their particular clinical expertise. These trainings can be scheduled to last a full day or more, and are usually opened up to neighboring community mental health centers and schools that may want to attend. Some presenters Community Reach Center has hosted in the past are Patricia Nemec of Boston University, who presented on Psychosocial Rehabilitation, and Kim Meuser of Dartmouth Medical School, who presented on Dual Diagnosis Treatment.
Employees of Community Reach Center are also encouraged to attend trainings which are not hosted in-house. Though consideration is always given to cost (which may or may not be covered by the Center), time, and supervisor approval, such trainings can also count towards the continuing education requirement of the Center.
For more information on the clinical training available at Community Reach Center, please contact:

Check these hot babes out! Who knows, you may see someone you know and your secret fantasies might be fulfilled, because there are thousands of hot and horny girls out there who do naughty things like this for the camera every day! That means that hottie from school, your sexy neighbor, or your best friend's main squeeze might be one of the cuties who are squeezing their boobies or flashing their gash on video; or in the dirty pics they thought were safely stored on their hard drive...
We are introduced to this very cute teen, as she shows off her petite figure. She has a sweet ass, and gives us some naughty butt cheek spreads. She heads out to the top of her apartment complex, pulls up her jean skirt, pulls aside her white panties, and masturbates wildly with a sex toy as the sun sets in the distance. Her beautiful teen pussy glistens in the final rays of sunshine…awwww.
Jewel Styles came in for her First Time Audition. We met at the park, she showed up on roller blades and was looking fine. She's such a teenage hottie, with her petite body and sexy curves. We headed back to my house to continue the 'interview process'. Once there Jewel showed me how she likes to shake her tight teen ass. So for part two I had to get VooDoo into the room to take her through some tests with his big cock. I have to say she surpassed my expectations, and took her pussy pounding like a champ.

Richard Branson on Leadership Lessons from the Unflappable Steve Jobs
Earlier this year, I experienced one of those fortunate coincidences that makes life interesting. Around the same time that I was starting to look forward to the release of Virgin Produced's new film, "Jobs," which depicts the Apple founder Steve Jobs' life as an entrepreneur, I had dinner at my good friends Jerry and Gina Murdock's home in Aspen, Colo., with a wonderful group of entrepreneurs including Nest's Tony Fadell, Mike McCue of Flipboard and Dave Morin of Path, along with the CEO of Twitter, Dick Costolo. Tony and Dave both worked at Apple earlier in their careers, so of course I asked to hear more anecdotes about Steve, the entrepreneur I most admire.
Tony was the man behind Apple's revolutionary iPod. Early in his career at Apple, Tony approached Steve Jobs with the initial concept, and then worked on building and developing 18 generations of iPods and three generations of iPhones.
Tony talked quite a bit about Steve's leadership style and how it affected the company. It's well known that Steve pushed his employees to achieve stunning results, demanding perfection, and that he was quick to criticize when things didn't go right. And his people met that challenge: Things went very well with the iPod, which transformed the music industry.
Tony felt that no matter how good a product was, Steve never thought it was perfect. Part of this drive to perfection meant that Steve did not back down: You couldn't win an argument with him unless you could back it up with cold, hard facts. And Steve won almost all arguments based on opinion. If Tony and his team needed to win an opinion-based argument, the team would plot together before the meeting with Steve, wait until the critical moment during that meeting, quietly utter the word "now!" and then all lean forward at the same time and push against his wishes.
The belief that you can always do better is something that sets great entrepreneurs apart, and helps drive them toward future successes. Creators are never fully satisfied. They can always do better.
Steve's vision and commitment to it resulted in the iPod teams' developing a huge number of products and versions before they felt they had attained their goal and went ahead with a launch. This is a long and lonely process at any company -- as Dave said, "Nobody could remember when we couldn't sell iPods and we gave every student at Duke University one to get it going. It can take a long time to build a company."
When we got to the topic of what projects we are working on now, Tony of course discussed his wonderful new company, Nest, which has developed a thermostat that learns people's schedules, reducing their homes' carbon outputs and energy bills by up to 20 percent. As you would expect, he and his team are working on a lot of other interesting products, too.
A company's culture shapes everything from how its products look to how customer service staff answers the phone, so every company's culture should be a little different and fit its particular circumstances. At Nest, Tony is creating one that's very different and less dictatorial than Apple's. He helps everyone in the group to understand their vital role in its successes and to work toward those goals.
On the other hand, Nest does share Apple's focus on brilliant design. Tony remarked that just like making practical, excellent products, this is essential for any company to be competitive: "You must look cool and do cool." This gives customers both rational and emotional reasons to invest in a brand. As Tony said: "Technology should be about more than newest, loudest, prettiest. It should make a difference."
And Dave commented that the impetus for great design needs to come from the top. Everyone at a company should care how a product looks, feels and works - not just the guys with the word "design" in their job titles. Companies need CEOs with good design taste, as much as they need accountants who are great with numbers.
As dinner came to a close, everyone talked about what advice we could take from our experiences that would be useful for new entrepreneurs. We agreed that it should be: Just start. Brooding over one idea or another for four or five years is what most people do. Just start. You will learn so many lessons by doing.
Start. Trust the process, trust your idea and trust your team.
We had a terrific conversation during our meal. It would have been great if Steve was still here so he could have joined us.
Amplifications: An earlier version of this column did not specify that the dinner with entrepreneurs took place at the Aspen, Colo., home of Jerry and Gina Murdock.

We present a randomized algorithm for the approximate nearest neighbor problem in ddimensional
Euclidean space. Given N points {xj} in Rd, the algorithm attempts to find
k nearest neighbors for each of xj , where k is a user-specified integer parameter. The
algorithm is iterative, and its CPU time requirements are proportional to T ·N · (d· (log d)+
k · (d + log k) · (logN)) + N · k2 · (d + log k), with T the number of iterations performed.
The memory requirements of the procedure are of the order N · (d + k).
A byproduct of the scheme is a data structure, permitting a rapid search for the k nearest
neighbors among {xj} for an arbitrary point x 2 Rd. The cost of each such query is
proportional to T · (d · (log d) + log(N/k) · k · (d + log k)), and the memory requirements for
the requisite data structure are of the order N · (d + k) + T · (d + N).
The algorithm utilizes random rotations and a basic divide-and-conquer scheme, followed
by a local graph search. We analyze the scheme's behavior for certain types of distributions
of {xj}, and illustrate its performance via several numerical examples.

How can an atheist make atheists look bad? We`re NOT a group! He doesn`t speak for himself as an atheist, but objectively viewing the world and why irrationality doesn`t belong in reality. He explains the science behind evolution.
That`s pretty much it. Of course he`s not the voice for atheists, every atheist has a his/her own opinion about everything because after "lack of belief in god" anything goes for who atheists are!
My point was that the same prejudices are coming into play here, as come in to play with anyone who is prejudiced against any other group, of course I picked the worst examples, that's why Godwin`s law exists.
If I said "You`re like an angry Sunderland supporter vs a NU supporter" 90% of the people here would be "Eh?", you would be "and..." and my point would be wasted.
Everyone knows the Nazis, nobody says "So?" to Nazis. Effect: Godwins law exists.
(Also, if you want a serious debate, pehaps don`t open up with a snide comment? "Saying as my opponent cannot refute my points"Appeals to authority:"I`ve had many deep conversations with Christians and I was one").and so on.
Incidentally, Bekll, my wife, my boss, and my best friend all hate Dawkins because he makes Atheists look bad. I don`t think you can call Zira on that.

The American meat industry is rolling out a refresh of the often confusing 40-year-old system used for naming the various cuts of beef, pork, lamb and veal. That's because the system was designed more for the needs of retailers and butchers than for the convenience of shoppers.

What's in name? Plenty when it comes to pork chops and it's all about to change.
The National Pork Board and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association recently announced new names for more than 350 cuts of beef and pork.
The move, which follows a collaborative 2-year study on the issue, aims to reduce consumer confusion with labels that easily identify the cut of meat and what part of the animal it comes from. ...

About Foster Chiropractic:
In 1952, Dr. Joe L. Foster founded Foster Chiropractic in North Park. A year before retiring in 1986 Dr. Joe passed the torch to his son. Dr. Grant Foster knew at a young age of 10 he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Everything about chiropractic care intrigued Dr. Grant and to this day the passion he developed at an early age is still the same feeling he has for his profession. While taking his pre-chiropractic courses from 1978-1981, Dr. Foster worked as a chiropractor assistant to his father, Dr. Joe L. Foster. After completing his pre-chiropractic requirements, Dr. Grant Foster attended Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, where he received his Doctorate in Chiropractic, graduating with honors (Deans list – Magna Cum Laude) in 1984 with a 3.75 GPA. During his last year at the College of Chiropractic he was an intern at the Whittier Health Center. In 1985 Dr. Grant became Owner/Director of Foster Chiropractic Clinic in S

Matt Harvey could be shutdown before the end of the year
Terry Collins said Matt Harvey could be shutdown before the end of the regular season, according to the team's beat reporters on Twitter.
Between Triple-A Buffalo and the Mets, Harvey has logged 146 innings.
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York says Harvey's limit is around 175 innings this season.
Michael Baron, ContributorHarvey has averaged six innings per start so far with the Mets. If he continues that pace, that puts him on track to make another 4 – 5 starts this season, based on Rubin's figure of 175 innings. Harvey is also going to be pitching on the seventh day after his next start as off-days are in play September 6, 13, and 20 and the Mets are currently using a six-man rotation. And so, if Harvey stays on this pace, his last start projects to be on September 25 against the Pirates at Citi Field. He would effectively be missing just one start at the end of the year, and so it's not the end of the world to play it conservatively so to protect him going forward.

Abstract. The present study examined how teachers' psychological experiences of burnout and efficacy as well as perceptions of curriculum supports (e.g., coaching) were associated with their implementation dosage and quality of Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies, a social-emotional curriculum. Results revealed that teachers' psychological experiences and perceptions of curriculum supports were associated with implementation. Teacher burnout was negatively associated and efficacy was positively associated with implementation dosage. Teachers who perceived their school administration as more supportive reported higher implementation quality, and positive perceptions of training and coaching were associated with higher levels of implementation dosage and quality. Teachers who reported the highest levels of burnout and the most negative perceptions of curriculum supports reported the lowest levels of implementation dosage and quality. The findings suggest that both individual and organizational factors are related to self-reported implementation and may be important to address in order to maximize the effectiveness of school-based curricula.

Stars pay tribute as Shirley Temple dies aged 85
Posted: February 11, 2014|
Shirley Temple, the child-star who went on to become a prominent diplomat, has died at the age of 85.
The actress was known to millions around the world after her performance of the song On The Good Ship Lollipop in the film Bright Eyes in 1934, at the age of six.
The angelic youngster, with her hair in ringlets and wearing a checked pinafore dress, captured the hearts of cinemagoers and became one of the biggest box office draws of the era.
She was given an honorary Oscar at six, and went on to star in films such as Curly Top and The Littlest Rebel, helping the US cope with the depression of the 1930s. She was also credited with helping save the film company 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy.
She died peacefully from natural causes at her home in California, her family said.
Among those paying tribute to her today was Whoopi Goldberg, who said: "The Good Ship Lollipop has sailed today with Shirley Temple aboard – a true one of a kind."
Actress Olivia Munn said: "The world is so much brighter because you were in it."
After retiring from the entertainment world in her early 20s, she carved out a role as a distinguished diplomat, serving as the US ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.

Guards prevent carnapping-A A +A
Sunday, April 6, 2014
ANGELES CITY— Security guards, who prevented an alleged carnapping incident at the Nepo Center recently, received commendation from various groups including JDN Sons Inc.
Because of the immediate action of members of the Glocke Security personnel, the suspect --- Marlon Paras, 32, of Barangay Sta. Teresita -- was reportedly prevented from stealing a van and kidnapping Gloria Suarez, a businesswoman from this city, on March 25.
Paras was charged with carnapping, attempted kidnapping, illegal possession of bladed weapon and reckless imprudence resulting to damage to properties.
The suspect is out on bail after reportedly posting a P200,000 bail.
JDN Sons Inc. president Arnie Valdes said they recognized the effort of the security personnel.
The security personnel coordinated with elements of the Police Station 1 of the Angeles City Police Office (ACPO), led by Senior Inspector Darwin Barbosa, who then went to the area.
JDN Sons, Inc. is the owner and developer of Nepo Center.
The security guards who received a certificate of commendation during the "Araw ng Parangal" held at the Nepo Center were Ronald Morilla, Joel Ariola, Abraham Cipriano, Mark Kris dela Vega, Jenny Espanola, Ricard Sandot.
Valdes also commended the Nepo Center maintenance personnel, Anthony Miclat, for putting steel barricades that prevented the escape of Suarez.
Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan will award a plaque of recognition to the security personnel during a flag-raising ceremony at the city hall today.
Chief Inspector Kenneth Vega, Police Station 1 chief, said the ACPO is also set to give commendations to the police officers and security personnel who responded to the incident. (RGN)

I'm happy to announce that version 1.1 of kiddori that became available in the App Store a few days ago adds push notifications. That means that kiddori will alert you twice before it's someone's birthday. You will see the first alert 7 days before the birthday and then the second alert the day before the birthday. This will give you time to buy a gift, a card, or prepare in other ways.
If you don't want push notifications you can easily turn them off by going into your iPhone's Settings, find kiddori, and disable the push notificaitons.

Eyes Only: Hope is not a substitute for sound economic judgment
Advocates for the Collier County Jackson Laboratory proposal have focused great effort on gaining public support primarily by focusing attention on aspirational goals and hopes, and why not? After all, who is not in favor of curing disease, reducing human suffering, and other high and lofty achievements?
Collier citizens have long been among the nation's elite in supporting charities and in generous donation to worthy causes and endeavors. By portraying Jackson Labs as a worthy player in this arena, advocates are hoping that a huge and unjustified local funding of $130 million dollars will somehow become acceptable.
Hope is however not a substitute for sound economic judgment.
The economic problems with the public funding of Jackson Labs are many and varied. Some argue that local government was created to build roads, clean streets, maintain libraries, and take care of the garbage. Giving taxpayer money to a private entity is nothing more than corporate welfare.
If you put aside the corporate welfare objection then it would seem prudent to insist on a reasonable rate of return with minimal risk to taxpayer funds. It is here that the Jackson Labs proposal really begins to unravel. The productivity committee has determined that the return is miniscule. The state of Florida's Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) report has determined that the attempt to establish biomedical clusters has so far been unsuccessful. The amount of the investment — $130 million — by county taxpayers is excessive based on our limited population of 300,000.
The tests for how risky an investment may be are based on general business principles. What is the experience of the principles? What aspects of the ventures location will aid its development? What is the competition? These are the tests that the Jackson Labs proposal really flunks.
Currently it is proposed that the research facility be located in an area where no complementary businesses exist. There are no nearby teaching hospitals, no nearby teaching universities, and no existing businesses that would be supportive. Everything they will need is located 100 or 150 miles up or down the road or will need to be built from scratch requiring additional taxpayer fiscal support.
Jackson Labs' experience in the field of personalized medicine will only begin with this proposed venture. This is a new business for them.
Finally, Jackson will be competing with at least 46 other companies already engaged in the field of personalized medicine. Many of these other ventures are already well funded and have more desirable locations within well-developed business clusters and supported by the finest research hospitals and educational institutions in the world.
Hope, and the desire to conquer human disease, needs to be focused by good judgments in placing our limited resources in locations where the greatest good can be accomplished.

not only do we manufacture cymbals, we are also a distributor for various other companies in the musicindustry. for example - we distribute tama drums, promark sticks, evans heads, prs guitars, mesa boogie amps, and other brands. in 2007, the construction of our new logistic center has begun and was finished end of last year. yesterday we celebrated the official opening of the new logistic center. it's been a lovely day with lots of friends, great weather, a great band (liquid blue), food and drinks. it's the most modern logistic center in the entire music business and needless to say, we are all very proud of it. a picture says more than 1000 words - so check'em all out.
yesterday would have been the perfect day if our national soccer team had won the euro-final against spain. unfortunately, we lost 0:1. congrats to spain. you guys deserve it, cause your team has been the best in the whole competition. but hey, being #2 team in europe is not bad at all :-)

Duff House
A Walk
from Duff House to the Bridge of Alvah.
from Duff house,
in the spot where the Earl�s of Fife once stood,
we�ll wander through the Fife gates
and into �Wrack Wood�.
Not far
along the track,
an old �Ice House� you can see,
it was Duff House�s refrigerator,
but now it�s history.
A little
bit further,
a �Mausoleum� you will find,
built by the 2nd Earl in 1790,
and has an old monument behind.
Gothic style building,
was originally built with no wood,
it used to have stained glass windows,
and elegantly it stood.
But the
original roof did leak
and in the 19th Century they did tile,
but its still a wonderful building,
with character and style.
The Burial
vault is underground,
21 coffins it does contain,
including the 1st Earl and the Countess,
who the 2nd Earl brought home.
Two miles
is the most beautiful scenic spot,
it�s called the �Bridge of Alvah�
and I�m sure you�ll like it a lot!
single arched bridge,
was built in 1772,
it stands about 40 feet high,
a crossing over the Deveron for you.
On the
other side,
is the �Montcoffer Wood�,
you can follow the track further,
to Macduff if your in the mood.

This is the way it happens. They sit in your class poring over Dante's Inferno or grousing good-naturedly about the silent film you've insisted they admire. They graduate to crawling through the mud at Ranger School or learning how to fly a Chinook in Alabama. They write to let you know about the milestones and about the weirdness; they ask what's new on your end and tell you not to work "too hard." They stop by the office whenever they're back in town for a classmate's wedding or some other event.
Eight Pieces, Really One: Iran, Israel's Military Doctrine, The President And One Dumb Jewish Woman, The Wages of Copenhagen, The Christmas Terrorist, We Should All Stop Talking About The Middle East
December 26, 2009
Jews usually go out to the movies on Christmas ... and then they go out to eat "Chinese." I've spent it writing. Below is my harvest. I wish you all good cheer. Here are the motifs of my writing day. Alas, none of them cheery. 1. THE REAL GRIM REAPER: HOLY DAY VICTIMS IN IRAQ AND PAKISTAN 2. COLD COMMON SENSE ABOUT IRAN FROM, MIRABILI DICTU, "THE NEW YORK TIMES" 3. A WISE EUROPEAN FOREIGN MINISTER: "WE SHOULD SHUT UP ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST" 4. A SOBER "TIMES" PIECE ON ISRAELI MILITARY DOCTRINE 5.
Surging and Awakening
May 20, 2009
The Gamble: General David Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2006-2008 By Thomas E. Ricks (Penguin Press, 394 pp., $27.95) I. FROM CENTRALITY TO banality: perhaps no other event in modern American history has gone from being contentious to being forgotten as quickly as the war in Iraq. Remember the war? It consumed a trillion American dollars, devoured a hundred thousand Iraqi lives, squandered a country's reputation, and destroyed an American presidency.
Knowledge Gap
April 30, 2007
Maybe it was a slip of the tongue. But, when Nancy Pelosi confessed last year that she felt "sad" about President Bush's claims that Al Qaeda operates in Iraq, she seemed to be disputing what every American soldier in Iraq, every Al Qaeda operative, and anyone who reads a newspaper already knew to be true. (When I questioned him about Pelosi's assertion, a U.S. officer in Ramadi responded, incredulously, that Al Qaeda had just held a parade in his sector.) Perhaps the House speaker was alluding to the discredited claim that Al Qaeda operated in Iraq before the war. Perhaps.
Best Intentions
June 28, 2004
THE DICTATORS IN the Arab-Muslim world, and those in Europe who tolerate them, can now rest easier. The Syrian dictator will not be chased into a "spider hole." And the Iranian theocracy will not be sacked by soldiers from West Virginia and Indiana and Vermont. The Iranians will have to secure their own liberty; we know better than to provide it to strangers sure to second- guess the morning after. Yes, America is embattled in Iraq. But its leaders took up the sword against Arab-Muslim troubles and dared to think that tyranny was not fated and inevitable for the Arabs.
Split Decision

Last week, an Iraqi exile named Mohammed Mohsen Zubaidi strode into Baghdad and declared himself mayor, meeting with local sheiks and promising them potable drinking water and electricity.

TAA Funding: It's more than a start
Thursday's announcement by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance that it has agreements from numerous organizations to help fund racehorse retirement and retraining charities certainly is welcome news. In fact, it's well past time for the industry to recognize that it has not been doing nearly enough to support the equine athletes upon which all of us depend.
The challenge is enormous. Each year thousands of Thoroughbreds leave the racetrack because they are either too slow to compete or have suffered an injury that makes it impossible for them to race again. A small percentage of these horses are good enough to become stallions and broodmares. Some of them are taken care of by their owners or breeders. The vast majority falls into the category of the "unwanted horse."
Dozens if not hundreds of retraining and retirement operations, nearly all of them operating on a shoestring budget and depending on the kindness of strangers, provide some semblance of a safety net, but it's not nearly enough. For many years, horse slaughter was a realistic if grim option, but American slaughter plants have been closed, and an ever-increasing number of racetracks have adopted anti-slaughter policies, making it even harder for owners and trainers to dispose of the animals for shipment to rendering facilities in Canada or Mexico.
In the meantime, the American public has become far more sensitive on the issue of animal rights. The Thoroughbred industry has rightly been criticized for not caring for its athletes, and for disposing of them unceremoniously.
That's why the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is so important.
It all started because Thoroughbred owner Jack Wolf saw the growing problem and felt someone needed to push for institutional funding for aftercare programs. He organized a meeting in June of 2011, stressed the importance of industry-wide funding, and kept pushing. Earlier this year, the creation of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance was formally announced, and a skeleton staff was put together using seed money from The Jockey Club, Keeneland and Breeders' Cup.
Thursday's announcement shows how far the TAA has come, with 13 major Kentucky farms on-board, along with all of the major American Thoroughbred auction companies, The Jockey Club, and at least two of the racetracks owned by Frank Stronach.
The funding formula among those different groups means TAA will have roughly $5 million to spend on Thoroughbred aftercare, beginning in 2013. Not nearly enough to seriously address the problem, but it's a start.
Click here to see who is participating.
The Unwanted Horse Coalition estimates each retired racehorse costs approximately $2,000 a year to care for, so $5 million will provide for about 2,500 horses for one year. The next year those same 2,500 horses will cost another $5 million, plus a whole new group of horses will be leaving the racetrack and needing someone to take care of them. Multiply that out for 10 or 15 years for the life of each of those horses, and you'll see that a pretty significant amount of money is needed.
But just because we can't provide for every horse doesn't mean we shouldn't care for any of them. And the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is far from being the only funding tool in place. CARMA, the California-based funding group that has pledged to work with the TAA, raises about $400,000 a year. Other tracks, like Penn National and Parx Racing in Pennsylvania, already have programs in place, as do some horsemen's associations.
Would it be better if every racetrack and every horsemen's organization, along jockeys, veterinarians and others, decided to work with the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance? Of course, because it would save money in administrative costs that could be better spent on caring for horses. It would show the world this industry has a unified front in dealing with a serious problem. That's not how horse racing works in the United States, unfortunately. Too many organizations and individuals think THEY have a better idea of how to do things. That's why we're in the state we are in.
It would be easy for me or anyone else at this stage of the TAA's fragile existence to single out this track, or that stallion farm, or this group of industry participants for not joining in on this extremely important cause. Considering how far we've come since Jack Wolf had that first meeting in New York 16 months ago, it's far more productive to focus on the positive momentum this movement has had.
It's more than a start. It's an indication a growing number of people in the Thoroughbred industry understands that funding Thoroughbred aftercare is the right thing to do.

HONOLULU (CNN) -- A man was driving down the highway when a surfboard came flying at his car.
Jerrin Ching still can't believe it. He has some scratches on his arms and a few on his face and that's it. He says, "This is just from the initial impact of the glass. I'm just thankful to be here."
Considering he was behind the wheel of a his car when a surfboard crashed through his windshield.
The accident happened on the H1 Freeway eastbound just past the Punahou Overpass around 10:45 Sunday morning.
Jerrin, who lives in Moanalua, was on his way to pick up his friend at UH. He says, "And I was in the far left lane and there was a bus in the middle lane and all of a sudden I see this red thing come out of nowhere and turns out it was a surfboard and it just crashed through my windshield. It shattered right through. Yeah someone was watching over me."
Witnesses told police they saw the surfboard fall off the over pass then it bounced off the school bus. Jerrin says, "Then that's when it came to me, yeah kind of a freak accident."
And even though Jerrin was driving, the 2011 Honda Fit doesn't actually belong to him. He says, "Yeah this was my girlfriend's car, who was on Maui at the time. She was worried about me more than the car I guess, but her car's going to be fixed so that's the main thing."
And what's still a mystery is who the surfboard belongs to. His message to the owner is, "Can you please claim your board and I don't know, pay for the windshield or something because you almost killed me, yeah."

–Kroisos from Anavysos, c. 530 BCE
–Warrior from Riace, c. 460-450 BCE
–Seated Boxer, c. 100-50 BCE
Greek Summary
•Summarize the differences between archaic, classical and Hellenistic art in ancient Greece by using your textbook to compare and contrast the following illustrations:
–Kroisos from Anavysos, c. 530 BCE
–Warrior from Riace, c. 460-450 BCE
–Seated Boxer, c. 100-50 BCE
The Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods of Greek art were all different in many ways as seen on some statues from the particular periods. Kroisos from Anavysos is a typical Archaic sculpture in that it is ery frontal and has the archaic smile. It also has knotted hair and is very rigid. The Warrior from Riace is a very good example of a classical Greek bronze. It is much more realistic than the archaic statue and has much more detail. It also employs the use of contraposto, but the proportions of it's body are not realistic. Finally, the Seated Boxer from Rome is a Hellenistic sculpture. It looks extremely realistic compare to the other statues and it's proportions are almost perfect. The details are stupendous and the deep etching creates great shadows. As seen here the three periods of Greek art are all very different, but all magnificent in their own way.
The Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods of Greek art very distinct and are different in several ways. The Kroisos from Anavysos sculpture is from the archaic period. The sculpture is very stiff and is produced in frontal view which is common to this period. The sculpture also has the archaic smile and knotted hair that characterizes the archaic period. The Warrior from Riace is an archetype of the classical period of Greek art. This Greek bronze is more detailed and intricate than the Kroisos from Anavysos. It also introduces the concept of contrapposto that results in the tilt of his shoulders and the slight swing of his hips that takes place when a human stands and looks off to the right. This provides more realism in the style of the classical period than that of the style of the archaic period. The Seated Boxer is a prime example of Hellenistic art. This artwork shows more realism than the other two by showing the defeated boxer with a broken nose and also broken teeth. The Seated Boxer is not a victorious athlete and is even depicted with blood dripping from his cuts. The proportions of the body are more realistic to a real human athlete as well. The Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods were very different but they were all unique and they all contributed to the development of Greek art.
Response to Justin:
Kroisos from Anavysos, c. 530 BCE:
There are many distinct differences between the archaic, classical, and hellenistic periods in Greek art. These differences are apparents in the Anavysos Kouros, Warrior from Riace, and Seated Boxer statues.
Greek art differed as time passed. Its revolution was marked by three distinct periods: first Archaic, then Classical, then finally Hellenistic. A work from Archaic is Kroisos from Anavysos. Its typical knotted, rigid hairstyle, the characteristic smile, and the strictly frontal view are clues to the time period it was made. While it is naked and also an attempt to show male beauty, it is conspicuously different from the other characteristics of later Greek art. The Riace warrior is from the Classical era. It is more realistic and even shows an exaggerated contapposto which was developed at that time. The muscles are exaggerated and humanly impossible to possess. What makes this statue different from Hellenistic is the lack of theatrical quality, the lack action, and most importantly, the lack pure expression and emotion in the statues' countenances. Classical art shows the attempt to make the statues move, but Hellenistic makes the movement artistic and then uses negative space to create darkness and shadows. In the midst of its chiaroscuro it creates an unmistakably dramatic masterpiece. Lastly, an example of Hellenistic rt is the Seated Boxer. The viewer can clearly see the defeated look in the statue's eyes, looking up at who defeated it. His nose is broken from a punch from his adversary and he has broken teeth. Also, this statue deviates from the usual strict depiction of youthfulness, and instead focuses on the fact that in this boxer's younger days he may have been a champion fighter. Like the past statues from classical and Archaic, this one is also naked, but it is less noticeable than in the other periods. As a whole, Greek statuary held many common characteristics even as it evolved in realism, detail, and variety.
It's good that you noticed how the arms are not attached to the statue of the Riace warrior. I'm glad that you mentioned this fact.
Armando Munguia
Archaic and Classical and Hellenistic are all major types of greek art. The Kroisos from Anavysos, 530 BCE is in ways that is is from the archaic era it's simle and stature plus the knotted hair and the nude body represents archaic.The Warrior from Riace, 460-450 BCE, this was classical because of the HEAVY contraposto and that is was created using bronze. The final stage was the hellenistic which was composed of intense emotion and much more details than many of the othe period's work's of art the best example of hellenistic art would be Seated Boxer, c. 100-50 BCE.

John Steffensen banned for six months for bringing athletics into disrepute
- From: The Courier-Mail
- January 31, 2013
JOHN Steffensen's controversial career is on the rocks after Athletics Australia today banned the sprinter for six months.
The AA board came down hard on the former Commonwealth 400m champion, ruling that he had brought the sport into disrepute with his allegations that he had been racially vilified.
The decision means Steffensen will be unable to defend his national 400m crown at the Australian Championships in April and subsequently sidelined from the IAAF World Championships in August.
The suspension comes after an independent investigation into Steffensen's claims last year that he was overlooked for an individual 400m berth because of his race.
He also called AA boss Dallas O'Brien a liar.
Steffensen can return to competition in August, which will be too late to press his claims for world championships selection.

Steffensen, Mundine, perhaps it's time for everyone to face up to the fact that the responsibility for their failijngs rests on their own shoulders, it is not the fault of others. Playing the racism card every time that you don't get what you want is becoming very old and tiresome.

meh. he isn't that good by international standards (compare his best to all time bests and he isn't even close) but the way he carries on after winning a low key event you'd think he was in the same league as michael johnson. the dude seems to think he is better than he actually is and can't grasp that he is just average.

What was funny was that Athletics Australia made the right call in putting the other guy. Steffensen was dismal in the relay for Australia whilst a young guy performed PB's. Good call Athletics Australia. Who does he think he is? Johnson would have beaten him by at least 10m easy so is not world class.

AA flexing their muscles. It is sad to see that athlets have to pander to the egos of the officials in order to compete. A wired up racehorse cannot be expected to behave like a toff.

I think it's a bit harsh. He is a triple Olympian & a commonwealth gold medalist, so he does have some credibility, what have you lot done? Probably nothing. We should respect athletes who have represented Australia, it most often comes with a lot of sacrifice & expense & let's be honest we all love to wave the flag when they win don't we?

Employee: Robert F. Lindsey
Employer: Stop & Shop
Insurer: Stop & Shop Companies, Inc.
Board No.: 01425899
(Judges McCarthy, Levine & Maze-Rothstein)
Thomas F. Donoghue, Esq., for the employee
William J. Doherty, Esq., for the self-insurer
MCARTHY, J. The self-insurer appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge awarded the employee one month of § 34 incapacity benefits for a work-related right arm injury. The self-insurer argues that the judge erred by not listing its investigative videotape as an exhibit in his decision. This oversight is harmless, as the tape is not germane to the reasoning of the judge in awarding benefits. The self-insurer also contends that it was error to allow in evidence a report of a physical therapist who treated the employee. This argument is likewise without merit because the report was introduced without objection during the deposition of the employee's attending family physician, Dr. Barry Magnus. (Dr. Magnus Dep. 25.) Moreover, the judge's decision does not turn on the contents of this report. We summarily affirm the decision with regard to these arguments. The insurer also argues that the judge's award of benefits was without medical support, as the only medical evidence from August 1999 - the month in which benefits were awarded - established that the employee could return to full duty work. We briefly address this argument, and affirm the decision.
The self-insurer commenced without-prejudice payments for total incapacity, in accordance with G.L. c. 152, § 7(1), for the employee's April 22, 1999 right arm injury. The employee underwent physical therapy from May through July. Toward the end of his therapy, the employee played some golf, which caused no increase in his arm pain. (Dec. 2.) The employee contacted the employer regarding the possibility of light duty work, but the employer did not offer such accommodation. (Dec. 3.) The self-insurer stopped payments without-prejudice as of July 31, 1999. This termination is not at issue.
The employee's doctor released him to return to full duty work on August 19, 1999. When the employee then contacted the employer, he was informed that the employer's physician had to clear him before he could return to work. The employee saw that doctor on August 27, 1999 and returned to work four days later. (Dec. 2-3.)
The employee filed a claim for § 34 benefits for the month of August 1999, which the self-insurer denied. (Dec. 2.) The judge concluded, after a hearing on the matter: "While the insurer now quibbles over whether he should have returned to work a few weeks sooner than he actually did, I find that Mr. Lindsey acted in a reasonable fashion, and in accord with his medical providers. . . . As his employer had made it clear that he should not return until he was under no restrictions, (and until after their own doctor had confirmed this), the timeframe [sic] of his activities and treatment is reasonable." (Dec. 3.) The judge therefore awarded the employee § 34 incapacity benefits for the month of August 1999. The self-insurer now appeals to the reviewing board, contending that the medical evidence does not support the award of § 34 benefits and that the decision should be reversed.
This case is governed by Scheffler's Case, 419 Mass. 251 (1994), which emphasized that,
"[c]ompensation is not awarded for personal injury as such but for 'incapacity for work.' This concept combines two elements: physical injury or harm to the body, a medical element, and loss of earning capacity traceable to the physical injury, an economic element. . . . [A]n injury is not compensable unless the physical injury causes an impairment of earning capacity.
. . .
The nature of the job, seniority status, the attitudes of personnel managers and insurance companies, the business prospects of the employer, and the strength or weakness of the economy also influence an injured employee's ability to hold a job or obtain a new position."
Id. at 251, citing L. Locke, Workmens' Compensation, § 321, at 375-376 (2 d ed. 1981)(emphasis added). Respecting the present case, we think it appropriate to add that "the attitudes of personnel managers . . . also influence an injured employee's ability" to return to his former position. Certainly, the employee's physical injury caused his absence from the workplace in August 1999. The employee had sought, but was denied, a light duty assignment. Then, when the employee was cleared by his own doctor to return to work, he was informed by the employer that he would still need to be released for full duty by the employer's medical examiner. During the month between the termination of weekly § 34 benefits and the employee's return to work, we agree with the judge that the employee acted in a reasonable fashion. "As his employer made it clear that he should not return until he was under no restrictions, (and until after their own doctor had confirmed this), the timeframe [sic] of his activities and treatment is reasonable." (Dec. 3.) Mr. Lindsey's inability to return to work during August 1999 was not due to anything for which he was responsible, but to the employer's own personnel policies. As such, the award of weekly benefits for that month was consistent with Scheffler, supra, and was not arbitrary, capricious or contrary to law.
The decision is affirmed. As required by § 13A(6) of the Act, the self-insurer is directed to pay a legal fee of $1,243.36 to the employee's attorney.
So ordered.

Manipulating Strings in C# – Finding all occurrences of a string within another string - 2
A common programming problem is to find the position of all copies of a string in another string. For finding the first copy the C# string method IndexOf is similar to the C strpos() function. It returns the first occurrence of a string in another string. But what if you would like to find the position of all occurances of the substring? The following "IndexOfAll" method does just that. It returns an IEnumerable containing the offsets of each sub-string in the main string.
Because you might want to use this code throughout your project it is implemented as an Extension class. Simply put: the IndexOfAll method is attached to the String class. So if we want to call it we can just use
To be able to define an extension we need to create a static method and put it into a static class. The first parameter of the method identifies the class the method should associate with. In our case: string. We do this by defining it as "this string".
using System; using System.Collections; namespace StringItems { static class StringExt { public static IEnumerable IndexOfAll(this string haystack, string needle) { int pos,offset = 0; while ((pos = haystack.IndexOf(needle))>0) { haystack = haystack.Substring(pos+needle.Length); offset += pos; yield return offset; } } } class MainClass { public static void Main(string[] args) { string needle = "x"; string haystack = "3 x 4 = 2 x 6 = 1 x 12"; foreach(int Pos in haystack.IndexOfAll(needle)) Console.WriteLine("Offset: {0}",Pos); } } }
