The Writer's Compass is here to show you the way.

Book Spotlight: Meet Pete Morin, Author of Diary of a Small Fish
Date: Tuesday, January 24, 2012
Time: 10:00 A.M.
Duration: 30 minutes
View Blog Talk Radio Show Page
Pete Morin's debut novel is a darkly funny, often sardonic look at the underbelly of Massachusetts politics.
When ex-rep Paul Forté is served with a subpoena to testify about his golfing with a lobbyist pal, he is pulled into a labyrinth of the criminal justice system for which he is ill prepared. Following the code of honor and telling the truth just isn't going to be enough to deal with the machinations of U.S. Attorney Bernard (don't call him "Bernie") Kilroy.
In his grand jury appearance, Paul neglects his lawyer's warning about the thin-skinned prosecutor. When Paul offers "Bernie" a sardonic assessment of his allegedly felonious eating and drinking, he infuriates the lawman. But grand juror Shannon McGonigle approves of Paul's taste for osso buco, and lights a fuse in Paul that will burn more slowly than he can endure.
Paul's problem is not that he has played golf with everyone but the Pope (not a golfer), but that he ignorantly testifies that he'd never done anything to help any lobbyist. The truth, he thought. But Bernie Kilroy has a different version of the facts at hand, and moves to indict Paul for perjury. In the course of his duties, Bernie Kilroy takes egregious liberties with the process due Paul.
Aside from the usual mendacity and hunger for political power, there is no explanation for Bernie Kilroy's pursuit of such a small fish.. But there is something deeper to his motivation that will take Paul some time to unravel. When he does, the war is on. Before it's over, Paul isn't so sure he's the innocent victim.
In my adult life, I've been a trial attorney, a politician, a bureaucrat, a lobbyist, and (I like to think) an observant witness to human behavior. I've tried to combine all of them in my debut novel, Diary of a Small Fish.
My creative writing began at the University of Vermont in the mid-1970's, where I was very fortunate to have studied under award winning authors David Huddle and T. Alan Broughton. Following college, I pursued a wide-ranging career in law and politics in which I served three terms in the Massachusetts Legislature and two years as general counsel of the MBTA. In what some friends peg a mid-life crisis, I returned to writing fiction in 2007.I now split my time between fiction and law.
My short fiction has appeared in NEEDLE, A Magazine of Noir, Words With Jam, 100 Stories for Haiti, and Words to Music. I republished many of them in a collection titled Uneasy Living.
When I'm not writing crime fiction or practicing law, I play blues guitar in Boston bars, enjoy food and wine with my wife of 28 years, Elizabeth, and our two adult children. On increasingly rare occasions, I play a round of golf. We live in a money pit on the seacoast south of Boston, in an area once known as the Irish Riviera.

Titanic cloud has a silver liningComment on this story
Belfast - The Titanic Quarter in Belfast has been chosen as a test site for a new cloud computing system.
Delivered by Data City Exchange (DCE), the technology is a forerunner to the development of an £80m data centre, also based in the Titanic Quarter.
Belfast has been marked as one of only two sites in the UK.
Cloud computing is a relatively new IT framework which allows software applications to run at a faster pace and gives businesses the capacity to cope more effectively with rapid surges in customer demand.
It is beneficial for industries which rely on managing large amounts of data, such as financial services, software development and digital media.
The 'Cloudvault' technology will create a local cloud computing hub that will provide companies with access to cloud-based business software and applications, without the usual high set-up costs associated with setting up a business.
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster welcomed the announcement.
She said: "This is another coup for Northern Ireland and strengthens our growing reputation as a leader in delivering the most up-to-date IT services.
"The new Titanic Quarter site will be another key centre to provide cloud services to small and medium business enterprises across Europe.
"Data centre provision such as this is a strategically important component of the local infrastructure that encourages and supports foreign direct investment." - Belfast Telegraph

|Daidzein and genistein contents of vegetables.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11177186 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Food samples (n 114) were prepared from vegetables commonly eaten in Europe. The glycosidic forms of the phyto-oestrogens daidzein and genistein were extracted from the dried foods into aqueous methanol. The isoflavones were quantified by GC-MS after hydrolytic removal of any conjugated carbohydrate. Completeness of extraction and any procedural losses of the isoflavones were accounted for using synthetic daidzin (7-O-glucosyl-4'-hydroxyisoflavone) and genistin (7-O-glucosyl-4'5-dihydroxyisoflavone) as internal standards. Of the 114 foods assayed, at a limit of quantification of 0.1 microg/kg dry weight, forty-eight contained no detectable daidzein or genistein, forty-one contained less than 100 microg/kg of the two isoflavones combined and the remaining twenty-five contained more than this amount. Soyabean products contained between 470 and 1420 mg (average of 960 mg) daidzein and genistein combined per kg wet weight of food, and legumes contained between 20 and 5750 microg/kg wet weight of food, with an average of 620 microg/kg. Cooking by boiling in water caused a decrease in the daidzein and genistein content of food in twenty-four of twenty-eight foods. The extent of the decrease was variable and warrants further investigation. The present paper comprises the first comprehensive description of the content of daidzein and genistein in vegetables.

Can we handle what dolphins have to tell us? CNET News reports:
Scientists at the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP) who have been developing a dolphin translator may have succeeded in getting their software to work.
WDP director Denise Herzing was swimming in the Caribbean with a pod of dolphins she has been tracking for 25 years, wearing a prototype of a dolphin translator called Cetacean Hearing and Telemetry (CHAT), developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology's Thad Starner, when one of the dolphin's whistles was translated as the word "sargassum" — a type of seaweed.
Humans have for some time been communicating with dolphins on a rudimentary level. The animals are capable of responding appropriately to commands and learning to recognise symbols.
The whistle picked up by CHAT, translated into human speech, was not a whistle from the dolphins' natural repertoire. Instead, Herzing and her team invented a series of whistles and ascribed them to certain things — one of which was sargassum — and trained the dolphins to repeat the whistles when they encountered those things.
If the CHAT program succeeds, two-way human-dolphin communication will become a real possibility. It won't work universally — dolphins "speak" in regional dialects — but it may be possible to one day know what really goes on in those strange, shiny heads.

Outdoorsy Communism
2015 Subaru Outback
Years ago, the Subaru Outback was the car of bucolic rural types who needed a car with some hauling capacity, and the ability traverse muddy dirt roads. Somewhere along the line, the Outback was discovered by outdoorsy communists and ladies with short-hair and broad shoulders. Since then, it's become an increasingly upmarket vehicle, probably because Trotskyites have always been a little hazy about financial matters, so they're easier to fleece.
Hash Tag Game
Tonight there was a hashtag game on Twitter called "Explain a Film Plot Badly". I thought I would play the game for a while, but I think I got a bit carried away. Here are my entries to the game. How many of these movies do you recognize?
The New Miata is Here!
In automotive circles, whenever you you talk about the best roadster, best small sports car, or best whatever, the answer is always Miata. It's a wildly popular car among automotive enthusiasts and women. All of them are heartened today by Mazda's unveiling of the brand new 2015 Miata.
The Middle Way
2014 Buick Encore AWD
Driving a Buick says something about you. It says that you're the sort of person who can't afford a Cadillac, but not the sort of dirty, poor person who drives a Chevrolet. Buick is the brand for the middle class. While Chevrolet is the brand for the factory worker, and Cadillac is the brand for the factory owner, Buick is the brand for the senior software developer in the factory's IT Department.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game…
Today, I went to Petco Park–a very, very nice ballpark, by the way–to watch the Dodgers play the Padres. Of course, I took a camera along to record some of the action. All of the pictures are clickable, so you can see the high-res versions.
Why CarMax rules
There are some reasons why buying a car at CarMax kind of sucks. They don't negotiate prices. The prices they don't negotiate are too high. But there is one reason why CarMax rules: The CarMax Warranty. If you never need it, it might be pricey. If you do need it, it will save your bacon. Like it did mine.
Soul Searching
2014 Kia Soul Base
I wouldn't have thought that Hamsters would be an effective marketing tool. Especially urban hamsters, with their hip-hop music and baggy clothes. I would, of course, be wrong, because that's exactly how Kia markets the Soul. Apparently, the marketing works, because there seems to be a lot of them around. It works so well, in fact, that the Soul is Kia's best-selling model.
What I saw at San Diego Comic Con 2014
Every year at this time, the San Diego Comic Con rolls into town, brining thousands of attendees with it. I remember going to Comic Con in the mid-90s, when it was small. The biggest star I saw back then was Adam West, who was signing autographs for ten bucks a pop. Now, it's the West Coast's center of sci-fi, comics, and fantasy action, with what seems like the whole entertainment industry involved.
I didn't have tickets to get inside the Convention Center, so I hung around downtown and took some pictures.

I'm a fan of the Moosewood Collective and own a lot of their cookbooks. Last year, I was given another entry to their line, Cooking for Health. I was pleased to see their fresh and easy philosophy of the 1970s had been updated for modern tastes. Never heard of Moosewood? Not everyone has, yet they were named one of 13 most influential restaurants of the 20th century by Bon Appétit magazine, and our own Sammy T's seems to have drawn on them for vegetarian inspiration.
Nutrition and weight loss, two hot topics you can't avoid. Pick up any magazine or newspaper, listen to any news show, talk to any doctor, friend, or co-worker and the topic is bound to come up. Oddly, for all our interest in nutrition and weight loss, Americans have never been heavier. Fad diets abound but don't seem to work. How about a new diet—a new diet that's been around for centuries? A diet that lets you eat normal food, is tasty, filling and can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure? Sound too good to be true? Well, the Mediterranean Diet is all of these things.

Whitepaper: Demystifying Middleware for DevOps
Today's application environments require coordination and collaboration across virtually all silos, and this is typically accomplished with teams of senior specialists from both Development and Operations. Tools play a key role in DevOps, and the right ones can be a bridge supplying a "common language" across teams with diverse capabilities and "technology languages".
Too often, the development team lacks critical access to the tools they need to reproduce production problems. This is particularly true of management tools for middleware solutions, such as IBM WebSphere MQ (WMQ). Typically, testing teams must interact with WMQ administrators to request WMQ-specific information, since they have no direct access of their own.
In this whitepaper you will learn EMA's perspective on enabling development and QA teams with high quality tools that deliver visibility to WMQ messages. Nastel's "freemium" AutoPilot® On-Demand for WMQ gives these teams access to a production-grade MQ diagnostics solution using a web browser, and without impacting production systems.

and in Visio 2010, you can't generate the images to be placed within the chart shapes automatically and for all the generated shapes!
So i'm looking for an Add-On which will be used to do so and place the images from the pathes listed in the Excel directly into the corresponding Chart Shape, whatever the chart type is.!

The title said it all: I'm famous! Go over to , read my post, then come back here and pity me. Or not. Or something. I'm trying to write a follow-up post for here, to let the two people who read this blog know that my TA and I are ok. I'll get it written soonish, just as soon as I finish the laundry. Ahem. Laundries? Is laundries a word? I ask because if you could see the smallish mountain sitting on the sofa, you would agree that it should be.
Speaking of disorganized, I am all about the organizings lately. I am DYING from the clutter and crap, DYING I TELL YOU. A friend is going to come over and help me out, which I am so, so very grateful for. Also, I have decided that today marks a new habit: I'm going to do the 7 day spread method of outfit choices. What's that, you ask? Well, let me elaborate:
TA has a hanging Ikea-like cloth organizer in her closet. It has 5 cubbie holes, so I am going to use one for Sat/Sun and then one for Thurs/Fri. Instead of hanging and folding her clothes (they don't wrinkle anyway), I'm going to put an entire outfit, including socks, in each. Then, in the morning I'm going to just grab and dress mah grrrl. I'm hoping that this solves two problems: 1) Getting in a laundry-doing groove again and 2) Taking one task I do everyday and getting it done faster once a week. I'll let you know how it goes.
This Tuesday, my friend and I will be organizing the downstairs closet (if I don't work). I'll take before and after pictures, I promise. (Note: It's so bad, I had to ask my friend, "How many scarves and hats are enough? How many do you really need?")
TA is more than adorable, this kid is love and joy and sweetness all on two legs. She's almost walking, and it is the most heart meltingly cute thing I've ever seen. Our lastest mommy and me activity is to blow raspberries at eachother. We find this immensely entertaining.
Other various stuffs:
My babette is coming along. I want to do a section a month, so section 2 will be up for your viewing pleasure soon.
I would like to start doing giveaways again, because those were such fun. Any ideas?

Complete Geometric Modeling
For rapid analysis the most basic blade sketch may be sufficient. However, whenever needed, ANSYS BladeModeler software can be used to include detailed 3-D solid modeling geometry components, for maximum accuracy when assessing a particular design. The geometric level of detail is the user's choice to make. Depending on the design process and need, the blade geometry can be analyzed for aerodynamic performance, or mechanical behavior using state-of-the-art ANSYS fluid dynamics or ANSYS structural mechanics products, all inside the ANSYS Workbench environment.

Paying the Price for Winning
Since their move to Colorado from Quebec, the Avalanche have been one of the leagues most successful franchises. They have won all but one division title, 2 stanley cups and sell out every game as fans flock to see a team filled with several star players.
But now, the Avs are starting to pay the price as they are a team filled with aging stars and a franchise void of many if any top prospects.
Their only position of strength for the future is in goal. David Aebischer should be around for several more years as the team's number 1. His development allowed the Avs to move out Marc Denis. 2 other youngsters, Peter Budaj and Phil Sauve are around to battle for backup duty. Their stock has fallen and those two simply may never be good enough to be full time starters. This kind of depth though is something they dont have with other positions. Even though these 3 may have solid NHL careers, none will make the kind of impact that Patrick Roy did.
On Defence, the Avs have 3 solid players in Liles, Vaananen and Sauer to at least provide the team something to build on for the future. Liles has emerged as a decent offensive defenceman that allowed the Avs to move Derek Morris. Vaananen and Sauer gives the Avs two big rugged blueliners to take care of their own end. However the cupboard is bare after these 3. Johnny Boychuk has struggled in his first pro season down in Hershey. Tomas Slovak has been slow to develop as well as he has not been the offensive minded blueliner they thought he would be and Tommi Kalteva is still years away. though all 3 have some talent, they may end up being no better than fringe defencemen at best. This is something the Avs are going to need to improve on going forward. Blake and Foote will still lead the defence but really for how much longer? Boughner and Skrastins are solid but getting up there in age too and will likely not be brought back when hockey returns. Not sure what the Avs can do without much quality in the system to replace these veterans.
And it hurts more when the Avs see whom they could have on D. In Calgary they see a star emerging in Robin Regher who was the future considerations in the Theo Fleury trade. Martin Skoula was shipped out for Kurt Sauer as the Avs went for brawn over skill. And the Avs traded the guy whom they though was going to anchor their D for years in Derek Morris for Gratton and Vaananen that also cost them D prospect Keith Ballard.
The condition of the forwards is worse. Sakic and Forsberg are still world class players. with them around, the Avs will remain a contender. However both have been bit by the injury bug, especially Forsberg, and are showing signs of aging. Though Hedjuk and Tanguay are still young, the Avs dont have the depth and talent they use to. They can thank poor drafts (remember former first rounders Mikail Kuleshov, Jonas Johansson, Kevin Grimes?), poor trades (renting Kasparitius cost them Ville Nieminen, Peter Worrell cost them Vaclav Nedorost when they had tough guys Scott Parker and Chris Dingman whom they gave away, Vrbata for Battaglia) and other moves that did help them win but are hurting them now (Aulin, Pahlsson, Deadmarsh, Miller, Rolston, a couple of first rounders were to cost to get Blake and Bourque, team had at one point Reinprecht and Drury but have Gratton to show for those moves). So as you can see, the Avs have little to show for what they have given up.
The Avs strictly rely on veterans to get the job done. Forsberg, Sakic, Hedjuk and Tanguay are paid to score, while Gratton, Konawolchuk and newcomers Damphousse, Laperriere, Laaksonen will be asked to fill in specific roles. None of their young forwards are ready or able to take on a big role. Wojtek Wolski is the best of their forward prospects. He has size, speed and skill to make it to the NHL. But he is still very raw and will need time to develop properly. Marek Svatos was a 9th round steal. His speed and skill make him dangerous but he is very small and may have a hard time withstanding the rigors of the NHL night in and night out. Denis Parshin and Brad Richardson are other hopefuls to help provide offence but are too small in stature. The other young forwards in the organization: Hahl, Hinote, Mclean, McCormick are basically role players at best.
The Avalanche will again need to restock their farm system and improve the team's depth in order for them to compete in the future. Gone are the days where they can move out guys like Ricci, Simon, Ozolinsh for first rounders as the team is void of that kind of depth. they will need to do a better job with their first round picks and try to find diamonds in the rough like they have in the past when Hedjuk and Drury were found in the middle rounds. Otherwise, they will no longer be among the regular contenders as they have been the last 10 years.

Cartel Coins and a new title to reward early adopters.
By Alice Lynton on September 14, 2013 at 7:50 am
BioWare and EA have elected to make recent expansion Rise of the Hutt Cartel free to all Star Wars: The Old Republic subscribers – although free players will still have to fork out USD$20. This change comes into effect on October 1, when update 2.4 goes live.
This is rather nice of them, of course, but it's a bit of a kick in the teeth to loyal subscribers who had already shelled out above and beyond their monthly premium to nab the extra content, so BioWare has come through with 1050 Bonus Cartel Coins for those who paid up. If you got in before September 12 and were still subscribed at the cut off time, you'll also get a new title, The Risen. If you are among those who already ponied up a handful of clams, keep an eye on your in-game mail; you should have received your bonus coins overnight, with titles to be distributed by September 25.
The update also brings some jolly new content – the Dread War story missions on Makeb, new PvP action, a level cap increase, and new devices.

The New York Times thinks U.S. President Barack Obama is an amateur. They are upset with the unraveling of his Middle East peace initiative. I think Obama is dangerous. But I think some of the people he has working for him are even more dangerous. I won't go into all the names, you know who they are and what they stand for. The Left used to call Bush and his administration "evil" (among other things), and The American Thinker has a great article on the Pathology of Evil in Politics. I suggest you go read it and keep our present administration in mind.
We've seen in past administrations (like Bill Clinton) the connections to Hollywood, celebrity, and money. Well, we're there again. Take a look at the White House guest lists. Take a look at who was at the first State dinner -- Hollywood moguls Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg; those with ties to India Deepak Chopra (CHAHP'-ruh), director M. Night Shyamalan (SHAH'-mah-lahn) and CNN Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta; and sympathetic media Katie Couric of CBS News, Brian Williams of NBC News and Robin Roberts of ABC.
Which brings us to the top news this weekend -- Michaele and Tareq Salahi, referred to as "party crashers". First we hear that they were at the dinner. Then we see that they actually had their picture made with almost everybody there, including Barack Obama.
Next we here that Secret Service heads will roll. I say "not so fast". As Judy McLeod reports at Canada Free Press, Obama knew Michaele and Tareq Salahi five years ago:
While the big gun media and American Secret Service are out there investigating "party crashers" Tareq and Michaele Salahi, no one's telling the truth: Obama knew the Salahis when he was still an Illinois senator.
Polo Contacts Worldwide could make it easy for the investigating Secret Service by brown-enveloping them this picture:
Hey Secret Agent Man, here's Obama, the senator flashing his pearly whites with Randy Jackson, better known as a judge on American Idol. "Others pictured are Black Eyed Peas Rock Band; Tareq Salahi the President of the America's Polo Cup; President Elect Obama, Fergie from Black eyed Peas and Michaele Salahi, posing this time as a former Miss USA and SuperModel. (continue reading)
Michaele and Tareq Salahi continue to claim that they were invited, and seeing that they actually knew Obama five years ago, that might be the case. We also hear that they were close friends with someone from the Indian embassy. And as Judy McLeod reported, "they came into the tent with a Bravo Reality TV Show "Real Housewives of DC" professional camera crew and makeup artist in tow." Somebody had to approve that.
But alas Michaele and Tareq are already old news -- Tiger Woods and wife have replaced them as the news item of the day. As the Miami Herald says, "We get news faster than we ever have. We just can't trust it to be right. " So again it's hold on a minute. The big media is doing exactly what it accuses the bloggers of doing, reporting something before the facts are in.
The news travels so fast that it is out there before it can be verified and before the participants have even uttered a public word, and the more credible news outlets are forced to follow the flocks toward TMZ and the Enquirer or be left behind.
And here's why that's relevant:
What if it isn't true?
How do we go back and fix that? (more)
How do you take gossip back? How do you restore a reputation? Well, you can't. How do you restore the reputation of the Secret Service agents who seem to be the scape goats in the Obama-Salahi dinner-gate drama, if in fact someone OK'd them to be at the dinner?
A better question might be, how do we get our country back after all the damage that has already been done under Barack Obama? Tiger Woods and dinner-gate are a drop in the bucket to this great nation. So my advice to Congress is "not so fast" when it comes to passing any more big government spending bills, including healthcare.

From Standard & Poor's Equity ResearchBANC OF AMERICA CUTS TARGET, KEEPS BUY ON DELL
Banc of America analyst Scott Craig says Dell's (DELL) second quarter revenue of $16.4 billion is above his/consensus estimates of $16.04/$15.9 billion and EPS of $0.32 (excluding one-time items; including amortization) compared to his/consensus estimates of $0.36. He notes the EPS miss mostly due to gross margin shortfall (pricing, mix), higher-than-expected tax rate.
Craig believes Dell's long-term restructuring story is intact, despite near-term gross margin and operating margin issues. But he notes it's becoming increasingly obvious that the turnaround story will be lumpy.
He cuts $1.58 fiscal year 2009 (January) EPS estimate to $1.43; he sees $1.82 for fiscal year 2010. He reduces $29 price target to $27, based on a p-e of 13-15 times his calendar year 2009 EPS estimate. He maintains a buy opinion.
Goldman Sachs analyst Matthew Fassler says Petsmart's (PETM) second quarter EPS of $0.30 compares with his $0.28 forecast. He says PETM is making good on the potential for improved capital allocation and building on its decision to temper store growth and capex with sharper cuts in new units, hotels, and capital spending.
Fassler says slower growth will enable PETM to sharpen operating focus, reduce pressure on margins from high occupancy costs for new stores, and return growing free cash to shareholders. He notes PETM is capturing food price inflation, with no incremental damage to traffic, holding merchandise margins, both on food and overall.
He raises 2008 EPS estimate by $0.04 to $1.48, 2009 by $0.03 to $1.73, and 12-month target by $2 to $27. He keeps a buy opinion.
Jefferies analyst Paul Fremont says his downgrade of Constellation Energy Group (CEG) is based on concerns that CEG will come under increasing pressure to issue equity. Additionally, he anticipates reduced earnings from CEG's commodity business going forward as it sells and restructures those businesses.
Fremont says the FERC investigation into loop flows in the Lake Erie region may result in penalties and lawsuits, which may further pressure the company's trading operations.
He maintains 2008 EPS estimate of $5.55, but reduces 2009 estimate by $0.60 to $5.90 to reflect the loss of contribution from businesses up for sale, lower assumed trading and dilution from an assumed equity issuance. He reduces $71 target price to $60.

Mum and daughter to complete 'dream' run
Posted: August 28, 2014|
A daughter will finally fulfil her dream of completing a charity run with her mum.
As a youngster, Rebecca Kemp, of Loughborough, used to frequently run with her mum, Elaine.
The pair always dreamed of completing a big event together and crossing the finishing line hand-in-hand.
However, those dreams were crushed in 2000, when Elaine was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Related content
By 2010, her condition had worsened and Elaine decided to give up work and was forced to stop running.
Four years later, though, Rebecca and Elaine have set themselves the challenge of completing the Great North Run to raise money for national charity MS Trust.
Rebecca, 22, who plays for Leicester City Women's Football Club, said: "I don't think I'm going to ever forget the moment when we finally cross the finishing line together.
"It's going to be quite emotional for me, just to complete it with mum – I'm so proud of her."
Up until 2006, Elaine frequently completed big runs, including three marathons and three Great North Runs.
But when she was diagnosed with MS, Rebecca said it physically drained her mum.
"She was tired and often had to nap," Rebecca said.
"She was in pain and running was uncomfortable for her."
However, on New Year's Eve, Elaine told her Rebecca she wanted to complete the Great North Run with her.
"We agreed to do it together," said Rebecca.
"I remember her face lit up when she told me."
As it was four years since Elaine had done any running, training began with a small 10-minute jog.
"Mum was buzzing," said Rebecca. "She seemed so happy. It was a bit of a struggle at first but she's come so far – we do it slow and steady but what she's done is remarkable."
Over the past eight months, the 10-minute jogs have turned into mile-long runs and Rebecca said her mum "seems more awake than ever".
Elaine, who lives in Blackburn, said: "I really wanted to start running again but I kept on putting it off.
"I am finding it hard and finding it difficult to get motivated but the thought of doing it with Becky keeps me going."
She said it is mostly "fatigue" which affects her and she "hobbles" when she walks.
"I do trip up a bit but I try and laugh about it. That's me though, I'm a positive thinker."
The duo will be joined at the starting line by Rebecca's younger brother Jack, 20, who is running the race competitively.

ECape ANC posters illegal: DAComment on this story
Port Elizabeth - The ANC illegally erected posters in Port Elizabeth as part of its 101st anniversary celebrations, the DA said on Monday.
"These posters have been reported to be blocking the view of the traffic and in some instances to have been put up too low," Democratic Alliance regional spokesman Knight Mali said in a statement.
"The DA has since discovered that these posters have been erected without obtaining the required permission... (and) is calling on the ANC to abide by the law and remove the illegally erected posters."
African National Congress regional secretary Zandisile Qupe disputed this.
"For them it is a reaction to the ANC's success in Nelson Mandela Bay. They say they want to be the ruling party, and when they see this they get worried and they try and find things to use against the ANC.
"When we put up posters on the roads, we put them high up for the motorists to see. They have not been put up illegally."
The Nelson Mandela Bay ANC held its 101st anniversary rally in Port Elizabeth on Saturday. - Sapa

It was not my intention to "sugarcoat" the results of the release of the Emancipation Proclamation, nor is there any need to. It is a persistent myth that the proclamation did not free any slaves, that they were not freed until the passing of the 13th amendment. On the 1st of January 1863, the day the proclamation went into effect, whatever runaway slaves reached the safety of Union lines, they were free. They did not need the 13th amendment, they were already free. On January 2nd more runaway slaves reached the Union lines and they too were free. Every day till the end of the war this was repeated until there were literally thousands upon thousands who had made the journey to some Union garrison or outpost. When troop movements brought larger tracts of land back under Federal control, all of the slaves within that area were free. So I do not believe that my saying the proclamation paved the way for the freedom of millions is sugar coating anything.

Beluga whales are found in seasonally ice-covered waters throughout arctic and sub-arctic regions. Five stocks are recognized in U.S. waters off Alaska, including one that is found almost exclusively in Cook Inlet.
The Cook Inlet beluga whale stock was estimated to number about 1,300 animals at the time the Marine Mammal Protection Act was enacted in 1972, but it declined sharply in the 1990's. Between 1994 and 1998, the stock declined by approximately 50 percent due largely to unsustainable subsistence harvesting. It was assumed that once hunting was controlled in 1999, the population would begin to recover. However, the stock has continued to decline at a rate of between a 0.6-1.3 percent annually. The National Marine Fisheries Service listed the Cook Inlet beluga whale population as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 2006. Because the population, on average, has remained below 350 whales since then, no subsistence harvesting has been allowed under the applicable regulations. The most recent abundance estimate, from 2012, is that the population numbers 312 animals. An updated abundance estimate, based on surveys conducted in June 2014, is expected to be released by the National Marine Fisheries Service early in 2015. The underlying growth rate of this population remains low and there are concerns about whether this population will be able to recover.
Two areas within Cook Inlet have been designated as critical habitat. These areas include all waters in the upper inlet, nearshore areas in the southwestern part of the inlet, and Kachemak Bay on the eastern side of the inlet (see figure 1). A recovery team for the stock was established in 2010, but the team was disbanded in 2013 after completing the first draft of a recovery plan. It is expected that the National Marine Fisheries Service will publish a draft recovery plan for public review and comment in 2015.

Narrow your search
At CES 2007, we take a look at the SlingMedia SlingCatcher. The new device comes with an optional hard drive and is designed to stream Internet video to your home television or stream television to other rooms of your house.
In his latest installment of Fully Equipped, David Carnoy puts forth a list of the 10 most cutting-edge products of 2008--so far.
Stuck with a stinky new Mac Pro? Good news: it might be toxic! (No proof of toxicity has been determined.)
The SlingCatcher has been delayed countless times, but it's finally available for preorder along with the Slingbox PRO-HD.
New networking products are coming out from Belkin in October.
Some within IPTV sector hope EchoStar's $380 million purchase of SlingMedia is only the first big deal.
Yesterday we were streaming television to the bathroom with the chocolate-bar-shaped Slingmedia Slingbox; today we're sending it to the garden with Sony's LocationFree base station
Latest technology is part of the company's in-the-home media network, released earlier this week at CTIA.

Roadtec Offers Temperature Bar Option on its Pavers
Posted By Equipment World Staff On February 25, 2010 @ 8:46 am In Boomerang | No Comments
All Roadtec highway class paver models will now be available with an optional temperature sensing bar. Developed by MOBATM, the device measures the temperatures of the entire mat width in real time and records that data, along with the corresponding GPS coordinates. Roadtec exhibited the temperature bar mounted to the back of its RP-195 rubber track paver at the recent World of Asphalt show.
Even temperature means leads to even compaction and density, which minimizes future pavment failures. The paver operator will be able to see the temperature information on a screen and thus has the ability to control the paving process better by spotting potential problem spots and taking corrective action.
The temperature bar will also aid in quality control and research because mix designers and paving professional will be able to see if any future damage to the road had been related to mix temperature differentials by examining the stored data collected during construction.
Roadtec offers 8' and 10' pavers in tire or rubber track versions. The company also produces cold planers, material transfer devices, and soil stabilizers.

Bulletin: Lawsuit filed in West Seattle Whole Foods developmentMarch 13, 2009 at 8:29 am | In Development, West Seattle news | 28 Comments
A major followup this morning to our status report yesterday on the idled Fauntleroy Place/Whole Foods development at 39th/Alaska/Fauntleroy: WSB has learned that a lawsuit has just been filed. The firm that has been developing the project, BlueStar Management, is suing Fauntleroy Place LLC (the official site owners), Seattle Financial Group, and Seattle Capital Group (one of the governing parties of FP LLC). We are working right now to get a copy of the full complaint, but a watchlist of newly filed lawsuits summarizes this one as alleging breach of contract and defamation. Construction on the site has been idle since last fall, and Seattle Capital disclosed in late January that they were in the process of selling the site, though they have not been available for comment this week and the status of the reported sale is unknown. More to come; we will add comments and documents to this story as we get them. 11:12 AM UPDATE: BlueStar's Easton Craft referred us to the company's lawyers for comment, and we expect to speak with them soon. There also is word of an additional lawsuit linked to this project, also filed this week, and we are working to get details on that. 8:09 PM UPDATE: We have a statement from Susan Rae Fox at Ryan, Swanson and Cleveland, the firm representing BlueStar, in response to several questions we asked:
BlueStar Management, Inc. filed the action to recover unpaid management fees incurred in connection with the Fauntleroy Place project and is merely seeking to be fairly compensated for the project development services it rendered. BlueStar has been committed to, and worked diligently for the Fauntleroy Place project from the very beginning and was shocked and saddened to be summarily terminated in December 2008.
The action was filed after a formal request for mediation was rejected and was in no way intended to adversely affect any current activity on the project. BlueStar continues to believe that bringing Whole Foods to West Seattle as part of the Fauntleroy Place development will be good for West Seattle. BlueStar wants to see the project succeed and does not believe that the filing of this action is inconsistent with that goal.

This is disappointing, especially for those of us who sew.
Comment by WSMom — 11:04 am March 13, 2009 #
Yes. I, too, am very sad that Hancock Fabrics was swallowed up and may not soon re-emerge from this hole in the ground.
Comment by meg — 11:29 am March 13, 2009 #
Nice scoop, WSB! Let's hope they can resolve this in mediation as if it winds through the legal system it likely won't see the inside of a courtroom until 2011.
Comment by Christopher Boffoli — 11:45 am March 13, 2009 #
I heard that Hancock was in bankrupcy, so they may not come back anyway. I sure miss having a local source for fabric and thread.
Comment by aquatic — 11:51 am March 13, 2009 #
We investigated that one several weeks ago. The bankruptcy was years ago. They emerged from Chapter 11 last August:
I'm sew disappointed!
Comment by Judnot — 11:57 am March 13, 2009 #
I'm glad to hear Hancock is healthy, maybe they will open at another location. Seems like there are plenty of vacant buildings around.
Comment by aquatic — 12:02 pm March 13, 2009 #
what a great opportunity for a small business startup fabric store in one of the many now open retail spaces, along California? or why doesn't Hancock open an interim smaller store in another location? I love to sew, and agree that with current economy, having local access to sewing supplies is a huge value; please someone?
I'm not much a fan of Whole Foods, never shop there; but was looking forward to this development as great new addition to our neighborhood, especially as gateway to West Seattle; hard to say whether big empty hole looks worse than old auto supply & old fabric store; that building was very ugly
Comment by Diane — 12:48 pm March 13, 2009 #
Yes, I miss Hancock too. They could find so many other locations to fill. Maybe we should all contact corporate HQ and push for that!
Comment by JEM — 12:53 pm March 13, 2009 #
Great – more delays in WS getting a Whole Foods… Grrrr…
Comment by Admiral Lady — 2:54 pm March 13, 2009 #
I think of our missing Hancock store every time I go to the JoAnns at Southcenter. I look forward to its return also…
Comment by dlc — 3:04 pm March 13, 2009 #
Hancocks deal is actually part of the problem…or rather Blustars inability to draft good deal documents. Hancock will pay so little for such a large and overly expensive place, the project was relying on WF and the condos for majority of the returns. This is the exact opposite of how traditional projects operate where the retail supports the residential. Trust me. Hancock is making off like a bandit in this deal considering how cheap their space will be.
The real losers in this are you West Seattlites who have this gargantuan hole…Unless the project was stalled due to community hatred as many other holes around the city are a resultant of.
Comment by FYI — 3:11 pm March 13, 2009 #
YEAH!!! PLease leave West Seattle to us locals. The very beauty of why we live over here is being sold off and dug up, just like the rest of the city. I don't mind new people moving here, it's just that to come here and then to start changing the very fabric of it is wrong. We don't need another high-end grocery store, we have MM, PCC, and plenty of niche shops to get us through life.
Another proud West Seattle resident that's glad to see the OVER development stop.

If the deal falls through maybe it should be turned into the world's largest skate park.

I wish Trader Joe's would be here instead on Whole Foods -
Comment by rnl — 4:01 pm March 13, 2009 #
fill the hole with water…Hancock Lake.
Comment by quiz — 4:33 pm March 13, 2009 #
Can't say I'm too upset. Just give me Hancock Fabrics back, and I'll be fine.
Comment by Jessica Smith — 4:57 pm March 13, 2009 #
So now we'll have our own perpetual hole in the ground like Stone Way. I wish the city would require performance bonds for these projects so this wouldn't happen. If the horrible "Junction Megaproject" actually begins demolition, what guarantee do we have that the project has complete and irrevocable funding through completion?
Comment by PSPS — 5:21 pm March 13, 2009 #
I wonder if we could cut that part of town out and simply paste the junction a couple blocks east. Man I wish this was a game of Sim City!
It concerns me that there's just this little flimsy fence around that giant gaping hole. I hope there are no car accidents that happen near there. It just doesn't seem safe. BTW Whole (Hole?) Foods is not a union employer.
Comment by bluecella — 6:38 pm March 13, 2009 #
I agree on the Trader Joe's. Who can afford to shop at Whole Foods anyway? A Trader Joe's store is badly needed in West Seattle and would make a lot more people happy than an overpriced luxury store like Whole Foods.
Comment by khatti — 8:01 pm March 13, 2009 #
NOOOOO not the fabic store!!!!
Comment by sophista-tiki — 8:30 pm March 13, 2009 #
we dont need a Whole Paykcek as much as we need a Trader Joes! theres pleanty of overpriced food in West Seattle already
Comment by sophista-tiki — 8:36 pm March 13, 2009 #
It seems as if there's just a lot of dead empty space in that general area of west seattle stretching along 39th ave sw/fauntleroy ave sw/sw alaska street and it's too bad they don't add some retail stores that cater to the low income community more like a big lots would be cool, or a grocery mart. Just a thought. could care less about a whole foods mart
Does this mean Blue Star is also out of the Gateway (Huling showroom) project?
Comment by 56bricks — 7:26 am March 14, 2009 #
As we have noted in the previous reports, BlueStar has said the fate of that project – and the mixed-use building at 5020 California – depends on what happens with Fauntleroy Place. So both of those are at the very least up in the air. The Gateway Center project hadn't gone very far, fwiw – they had options on the property, they told me – and it hadn't even gone to early design guidance. But 5020 California had gone all the way through Design Review and the buildings on the site had been vacated – TR
Maybe I'll start tossing my food waste over that fence. It may be the only food we ever see in that HOLE.
Comment by DALYDBL — 12:12 pm March 14, 2009 #
I would like to see whole foods instead of trader joes.

Plane carrying Madiba's medical team missingComment on this story
KwaZulu-Natal - An SA Air Force military plane carrying an estimated 11 people went missing en route from Pretoria to Mthatha in the Eastern Cape on Wednesday.
According to eNCA, the aircraft was carrying former president Nelson Mandela's medical team. The route is used weekly by the medical team looking after Mandela's health in Qunu.
The SAAF has confirmed that the plane - an SAAF Air Force DC3 or C-47TP aircraft of 35 Squadron known by the nickname "Dakota" - might have encountered problems but said there were no details about what happened.
However, It is believed that bad weather conditions may have contributed to the craft's disappearance.
SAAF spokesman Brigadier-General Xolani Mabanga said the plane's last known location was in the Ladysmith area in KwaZulu-Natal. However, other reports said it was last in radio contact in the Giants Castle area.
According to a statement made on the SAAF (unofficial) online forum, the Dakota was flying from Waterkloof in Pretoria when it encountered severe weather.
"Unconfirmed reports state that the aircraft last communicated with Air Traffic Control when above Giants Castle in the Drakensberg, stating that they were at 11 000 feet and flying in Instrument Meteorological Conditions due to the bad visibility. The aircraft never arrived at Mthatha Airport," the statement said.
The forum's administrator, Dean Wingrin, said that an Oryx helicopter crew was tasked with searching for the missing aircraft, but had to abandon the search due to the bad weather.
Wingrin, who is a reporter for the Defence Web, said the Dakota operated regular flights in that region and would on most occasions carry military personnel between airports.
Mabanga said they would not reveal the number of people on board.
"There was a pilot and crew on board but we cannot reveal the numbers at this stage," he said.

CSU, Chico President Paul Zingg and Butte College President Kimberly Perry jointly announced the Book in Common for Academic Year 2012-13 will be Unquenchable, by Robert Glennon.
"We are pleased to join together to make this announcement," said Zingg and Perry, "Since the Book in Common became a joint project of our campuses, the City of Chico and County of Butte, we have been gratified at the community's enthusiastic response to the books and the conversations that these books spark."
Unquenchable focuses on one of California's most pressing and controversial issues: water. Author Glennon's highly readable account reveals that water – both its quality and quantity – are not peculiarly California problems, but affects many other regions of the United States – from Atlanta, Georgia to Minnesota to Las Vegas. But water is a particularly vexing issue in California and in the North State in particular. In many ways, the wise management of water is the most important issue facing communities across the North State.
"We hope that this book will encourage an informed, open, and reasoned discussion of how we in California will manage the critically important resource of water. Water is a necessity for all life, and if that were not enough, it is also the engine of economic growth across the state. This is most obvious in agriculture, but extends to many other sectors of the economy as well," according to Chico State President Paul Zingg.
"This book fits well with Butte College's emphasis on sustainability, a commitment shared by Chico State," added Dr. Perry. "We hope that Unquenchable will create lively and meaningful conversations and discussions on a topic of central importance to our community."
The Book in Common is a shared, community read, designed to promote discussion and understanding of important issues facing the broader community.
The Book in Common is chosen each year by a group of university faculty and staff and community members. Past community reads include The Soloist, by Steve Lopez, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, by William Kamkwamba and the current Book in Common, Zeitoun, by Dave Eggers. As in past years, Butte College, Chico State, the City and County have sponsored a variety of events: panel discussions, lectures, and other public events, in celebration of the Book in Common. Author visits are also part of the Book in Common. The much-celebrated author of Zeitoun, Dave Eggers, will be giving a public talk on May 7 in CSU's Laxson Auditorium. More details about Robert Glennon's visit will be made available later this year.

I bought the Illamasqua skin base foundation as part of a long ongoing search for a good foundation with staying power in the right colour for my very pale, sensitive skin. The first time I used it was a disaster. The colour (02), perfect, but the application and cover, awful. Even with clean, well moisterised skin with a good primer, it sunk into the pores making them visible to even my very short sighted, unspectacled eyes. I normally give in at this stage (not the first time that what appeared to be the perfect one had major flaws) but persevered because the colour match was the most perfect, ever. I actually found that by classically applying very little dabs of foundation on my skin and pressing it gently into the skin rather than rubbing or massaging, gave me the cover I wanted and a flawless finish. Since then, I have worn it continually. The cover looks natural, not cakey. It feels really lovely and luxurious to use, being creamy in texture. My skin glows (but not in the way that ladies of a certain age can 'glow' ) and it lasts, even in our current hot spell of weather. I really hope this helps others.

I've had so many compliments about my skin when I use the illamasqua skin base foundation. People usually ask am i wearing any foundation or what am I using in my skin. The foundation has a really lovely consistency that gives good coverage but feels light on the skin and can be buildable. This foundation makes my skin look like.. Well skin! It's looks youthful, flawless and perfectly dewy. Not oily or shiny, but healthy supple delicious skin. Being a mother to a very active 2 year old my skin really can feel tired and dull especially from lack of sleep but this product hides my exhausted eyes and face so well. It's so fresh looking and lasts a long time. I've had my tube for about a year! The only thing I don't like about the product is the tube it comes in.. It's a great brand, amazing foundation But the tube looks like a plastic cheap product. This foundation deserves to be enveloped in a tall elegant glass bottle with gold writing and a pump!

For the first few months I absolutely loved this foundation, it have amazing coverage, perfect colour match and looked flawless in pictures. My skin was combination and quite clear, however, over the months my skin started to break out every time I wore it :( but overall amazing, especially for those lucky ones with clear skin

Having tried various foundations over the years, I think this foundation is fab! It make skin look flawless and covers all blemishes well. A little does go a long way and it isn't the cheapest foundation on the market but it is defiantly worth it, at first when you purchase it doesn't look like much as the bottle is quite small. But I have had this for over 3 months now, use every single day and still have a lot left. I also use on clients who love the flawless finish. If I'm going out somewhere and would like more converge I tend to mix this with a little of mac face/body foundation. It works a dream and gives more coverage and is perfect if I'm wearing fake tan. Great product, great results. Must have product

2/24/14:This foundation is not for dry skinned people I think. I like this foundation for when my skin is oilier.. Usually I have dry combo skin but in the winter it dries out quite a bit. If I wear this, I make sure I have a moisturizing base underneath... even a thick sunscreen works nicely. I do like the coverage and look of it. Previously I was wearing Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua - liked that a lot, may go back to it in fact..
Edit 4/29/14: I've pretty much given up on this for the winter and spring. Will try it again in summertime. Also, it's a tad light for me so may have to darken it with a little of something else.

I was really excited to try this as I have tried so many foundations and heard great things about this. My skin is fair and I bought shade 02 which I applied using a buffing brush. A little goes a long way, which is about the positive thing about this foundation. As soon as I put it on I could feel my skin getting really irritated. I tried to keep it on for as long as possible and in that time it enhanced the few wrinkles that I have, especially on my forehead and completely clogged into my pores so there were dots of foundation in my pores. I have dry skin and this highlighted each and every dry area that I have on my face. Really disappointed, considering that I will never use it again but paid well over $40 for it.

I really love this foundation. I have combination skin and my nose/T zone does get a little oily but nothing unmanageable. The colour 3.5 is a perfect match for my skin (unlike the NC20 that a MAC MUA matched me with, which came out yellow/orange on me).
This foundation lasts all day, is medium coverage and applies well with my EcoTools foundation brush. I am waiting for my real techniques order to come through so I can try applying with a stippling brush.
It looks nice applied with some blush and highlighter (obviously just using foundation will leave a rather "flat" result).
It was also only $41 from Myer in Australia, compared to MAC (which starts at around $50) and then other brands much more expensive. Give it a try!

I was ready to just go out and buy a full-size version of this but the price and mixed reviews put me off. I managed to get a sample in shade 3, which is a decent match for my skin, the only problem is that it is a bit pink for my skin tone. The coverage is medium but buildable, and considering I prefer a full-coverage this is really good. The main thing that put me off buying it full size were the mixed reviews on here for my skin type. Unfortunately I found that the oily areas on my face really show through this foundation after only a couple of hours no matter what type of powder I use to set it. I also use an oil-free primer and pore minimiser to try and avoid this happening, but it doesn't work! The main benefits of this product are that the coverage is buildable, it feels light on my skin and it blends really easily, but I am pleased I didn't waste �30 on it.

My favorite foundation at the moment is the Le Teint Touche Éclat Illuminating Foundation in BD10. The formula works great on my dry and sensitive skin and I get a lot of compliments on my skin when I am wearing it, but it contains SPF 19 which is a problem for me. First, it gives a flash back in pictures and makes me look completely white (I am pale m but I am not white). Second, it can weaken the sunscreen you are wearing underneath it. It is also a bit to dark and a tiny bit too pink for me. I have therefore been on the lookout for a pale, rather yellow foundation, without SPF that will work on my dry and sensitive (and acne prone) skin. Enter Illamasqua Skin Base. I will give a proper review when I have tried it out for a while.
About the sunscreen:
You do not want to layer a foundation, or something else, contemning Octyl methoxycinnamate/Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate/octinoxate (same thing) over avobenzone/Butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane since that combination makes the sunscreen degrade faster.

I really do love this foundation but only in summer. My skin seems to be dryer these days and as a result it doesnt really work so well for me in winter.
I am shade 6.5 in the summer which is a really great match for me (I would say I am NC20 leaning to NC25 by the end summer).
The best way I found to apply it is using a damp beauty blender and then bouncing the product all over my face applying one sheer layer. I then set with a fine layer of translucent powder. I work 12 hours days and I do not get any shine breaking through at all during the day but do have a nice glow all day. When my skin was oilier though this was not the case. I did just look oily and could feel oil breaking through. Because of this I think this foundation is better suited to more normal to dry skin, but not very dry skin, but thats just based on my experience.
I would say it is a definate medium coverage that could be taken to full coverage if you wanted.
