Mrs Bale drops by on the last day of winter
Just in case I was feeling the slightest bit of sadness that this was ol' man winter's last day until December, the weather was cold, gray, drizzly, and raw. That little smudge you see is a rain drop.

Weather... Ugh... :-((((ReplyDelete
I like your new header picture. It is nice to say goodby to ole man winter. I am looking forward to spring. We have received all our spring rain the past two days.ReplyDelete
Spring will come. It is inevitable, though days like today give me doubts.
I LOVE the rain. Yes, I do. :)ReplyDelete
And today is much the same, but you know what, it's okay because it is Spring! Thanks, Lisa about the blog header. Every single evening, when Tom does the barn chores, Sadie goes to that spot and barks. She is the ultimate farm dog! She takes her 'job' very seriously, but just what that job is, we aren't too sure. Barking at the sheep and goats and chickens and Daisy, the donkey so they'll behave? So they'll eat? So they'll stay in their pasture??ReplyDelete
Now that I am a grandmother, it seems that I am often late in replying to your most-appreciated comments. But I read them as soon as they come in, and I will write as soon as I can. Please do come back and check. I love these blogging conversations. A little addendum - I've just spent quite a long time catching up with dear notes you left me months ago!! I do hope you can get back to read them. And I'm trying to be much more prompt now!
Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.

Bucs' Darrelle Revis irked by Richard Sherman's actions
Count Darrelle Revis among those who are taking umbrage with Richard Sherman's postgame interview.
Count Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis among those irked by the now-famous postgame interview from Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks.
Revis, who was widely considered the best cover corner in the NFL until the emergence of the two-time All-Pro Sherman, says the Seattle star's speech took away from the accomplishments of the team.
"I didn't think that was good on his part," Revis told the Tampa Bay Times. "If you listen to what the reporter asked him, it was nothing about him, it was about the team, and he put himself ahead of the team."
Sherman's WWE-style promo calling out San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree has sparked widespread commentary, criticism and sharings of opinion leading up the Super Bowl between the Seahawks and Broncos, but Revis knows that Sherman's mouth is part of his game.
"He talks," Revis told the Times. "He probably talks in his sleep. I thought he shouldn't have said all that."
Though it should come as no surprise, Revis told the paper he still considers himself the best cornerback in the league.

Q: I want to rebuild my credit score. My VantageScore is about 750, and my FICO is about 690. I want to use a credit card for monthly expenses, then pay it off each month to show that I'm reliable. I would like to earn air miles. Which card do you recommend?
A: You've got a great strategy, especially if you're focused enough to keep that monthly balance hovering at about 1 percent of your overall line of credit. That's a credit reporting hack we're hearing more about these days as a method that can push your score well into the "good" range from your current "fair" status.
Which credit card you'll want really depends on how and when you like to fly. Most of the traditional airlines have tied their frequent flier programs to a handful of credit card issuers. Chase, U.S. Bank, and Barclaycard dominate the airline credit card market. Citibank, a CardRatings.com advertiser, and Bank of America have a few key relationships with old-school airlines, as well.
British Airways and Southwest offer fast travel
If you happen to live in a hub city for a major airline, or if there's a specific route you fly very often, tying your monthly purchasing to a single loyalty program can lead to routine redeeming rewards toward travel. Chase's British Airways Visa Signature® Card, for example, offers perks for frequent European travelers.
However, you can also get value by signing up for Chase's Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Plus Credit Card. Whichever airline credit card you choose, you'll maximize your earnings by purchasing tickets using that card directly through the carrier's website.
Travel rewards cards that reduce restrictions
Yet, if you prefer a great bargain to a familiar flight crew, you're probably already doing most of your travel planning using discount airfare websites. A whole new generation of travel rewards cards has sprung up to support this phenomenon, freeing you from blackout dates and restrictive redemption procedures among mainstream carriers.
Whichever destination you choose, take advantage of your credit card issuer's text alerts, automatic payment reminders, and online banking services to help keep your credit score strategy on autopilot.

Remember Me
Phish continues to toy with song placement even more so than usual this tour. For instance
"Glide" opened tonight's show, which was the first time the Picture Of Nectar gem
has been played in that spot since July 15, 1992. "Sing Monica" served as the evening's
initial dose of Fuego material. Quick romps through "Birds Of A Feather" and
"Wolfman's Brother" gave way to the tour debut of Mike Gordon's "Sugar Shack." The tour
debuts continued with the galloping "Alaska,"
while keyboardist Page McConnell shined on "McGrupp And The Watchful Hosemasters" that
followed. The
Gamehendge song had been on the shelf since July 26, 2013 - a span of 34 shows.
a bit of a roller coaster segment tempo-wise, the crowd went up with the high-energy
"Stealing Time From The Faulty Plan" and was led down by the mellow sounds of "Horn." Pop-
rocker "Devotion To A Dream" brought the coaster back up only to be followed by ballad
"Silent In The Morning." To complete the ride, the audience was then sent through a few
loops and corkscrews during a frenetic, above-average "Run Like An Antelope" set closer. A
female concertgoer jumped on stage as Trey sang the final lyrics of "Antelope," only to be
quickly escorted away by security.
Thanks to Phish's extreme focus on originals this summer, we've seen a number of songs
used as jam vehicles that aren't often used for that purpose. This evening, the second
set-opening "Chalk Dust Torture" spanned 17 minutes. The Type II "Chalk Dust" saw the
band explore three distinct spaces, the last of which featured blissful licks from
Anastasio, cosmic synth swirls from McConnell, a steady and powerful beat courtesy of
drummer Jon Fishman and the bass bombs of Mike Gordon. Eventually the jam faded into the
tour's third "Wingsuit," which was followed by another well-played song off the band's
most recent album in "Winterqueen." Anastasio starred in a guitar-driven "Twist" that had
even more Santana swagger than usual.
When Phish lit into a cover of Talking Heads' "Crosseyed And Painless" the crowd exploded.
The band's focus on originals has made covers like "Crosseyed" and last night's "2001"
welcomed as conquering heroes by receptive audiences who weren't sure if and when they'd
these songs this summer. As for the "Crosseyed" itself, the hard-rocking cover broke form
ever so slightly before melting into a spot-on rendition of "Waste." "Mike's Song" was
notable for Page's funk-fortified clavinet work and "Wingsuit" teases from Trey. "Sneakin'
Sally Through The Alley" then followed "Mike's Song" for the first time ever and climaxed
into a silly vocal jam. In a stark contrast, the encore featured "Julius," which has
filled the encore role at three out of seven shows this year, and "Weekapaug Groove,"
which closed a Phish show for just the fourth time ever in the 25+ years since it was
debuted. Both found the band loose and
toying with each section of the songs. The tour continues on Friday night in New York
City for the first of three shows at Randall's Island.
Set One: Glide, Sing Monica, Birds of a Feather, Wolfman's
Brother, Sugar
Shack, Alaska, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters, Stealing Time From the
Plan, Horn, Devotion To a Dream, Silent in the Morning, Run Like an
Set Two: Chalk Dust Torture[1] > Wingsuit, Winterqueen, Twist > Crosseyed and
Painless >
Waste > Mike's Song[2] > Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley,
Encore: Julius > Weekapaug Groove

Timbuktu airport seized by French led troops.
| updated at xx
French and Malian troops have surrounded Timbuktu and are aiming to secure the city after seizing the airport. A senior military officer reported they met no resistance.
There are reports of rebels setting fire to homes and thousands of priceless manuscripts and also handing out beatings to residents as they fled the city.
The operation comes a day after celebrations in Gao as Islamist militants were driven out of the town.
The ancient city of Timbuktu has been one of the bastions of the al Qaeda-allied fighters who have controlled the north for 10 months.
Two displaced residents gave their reaction. "I'm really glad to hear about Timbuktu because we haven't had news for four days, networks are cut. We really worry for parents who are there. I welcome this very good news," said one.
Another added: "Frankly, if they secure the city today, I am ready to return immediately to Timbuktu. French troops must not leave us alone then because those Islamists who fled may come back and cause problems for us. French troops have to stay a bit to stabilise the place."
The African Union is meeting to discuss sending more troops while the French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius reacted with claims that, "little by little Mali is being liberated".
Military experts though fear the rebels could carry on a hit-and-run style guerrilla campaign.

Mike Gundy on Oklahoma State's spring position battles
Here are some more notes from the pre-spring practice conversation with Mike Gundy, which focus mostly on the position battles heading into the spring.
I will have a big story on this on Sunday, so I'm going to hold onto those quotes for now. But junior Clint Chelf, redshirt freshman J.W. Walsh and true freshman Wes Lunt will have equal reps in the spring. And even though Chelf is an upperclassman and the only quarterback that has taken a college snap, it's not "his job to lose." It truly is an open competition.
Daxx Garman, a transfer from Arizona, is indeed on campus. This was something I was honestly unsure about, because he was not included in the release announcing Lunt, Blake Jackson, Calvin Barnett and Jeremiah Tshimanga had enrolled early. Garman will participate in spring drills but won't get any reps, since he has to sit out 2012 because of NCAA transfer rules.
This is when it was revealed that Michael Harrison had decided to leave the OSU football program. Some bullet points to keep in mind here: He was suspended by the NCAA, not Gundy or OSU; He was not kicked off the team but decided to leave on his own terms; Gundy was notified of Harrison's decision about a week ago, not when the news first came out in mid-February that he would not play in 2012; to the best of Gundy's knowledge, Harrison has not yet asked for a release from OSU.
When asked who will step up at receiver, Gundy basically rattled off every returning receiver on the roster—Tracy Moore, Isaiah Anderson, Josh Stewart (or "No. 5," as Gundy likes to say) and Charlie Moore.
But then the conversation turned to junior college tight end Blake Jackson, who I wrote about in January, but Gundy offered some more insight on progress so far and style of play.
"He's 20 pounds heavier than he was when he got here, he's developed, his attitude's good. He can really snatch the ball, he plays faster than he looks, he's big and physical. He hasn't made any plays for us, he made a lot of plays on the teams he played with before, but he has potential to be a really good player. But it's impossible to say (how good he really is), because he hasn't been with me.
"He's a little more elusive than what people think, and he's hard to get down. He should catch a lot of balls at eight yards and less, but he's not a guy that's limited speed-wise and stays in that area. He can run a 16-yard crossing route. He should play attached, in a wing and split out.
"He very well could be (the most versatile tight end I've had at OSU) with his body type and his ability to run. I'm hoping that he's going to be a more agile (Brandon) Pettigrew. In seeing what I've seen so far, he's not as far along as Pettigrew was at blocking the edge. Pettigrew was probably the best in the country his years. So that's an unfair comparison, comparing him to a first-round pick who was probably the best blocker we've ever had. So he's not going to be as far along there, but I'm hoping he's more advanced out here (as a receiver), more flexible than what Pettigrew was. So then we have to balance where he's at based on his strengths."
Brandon Weeden called Grant Garner the most important offensive player for OSU last season. He's gone now, as well as backup Casey LaBrue. Evan Epstein, who began his career at Air Force before transferring to OSU in 2009, should begin the spring as the starter.
Here's Gundy's take:
"When Garner took over, nobody thought he was going to be on the team. He was a guy most people thought he was just a guy we were filling a hole with. He ended up being, in some people's mind, a third-team All-American. What you're saying's right. Every question you're asking is right, but I just have no concern with it. There's guys in our program that'll make plays."
Defensive end
Other than quarterback, this is probably the most intriguing position battle in the spring, because the Cowboys have to replace both starters. Cooper Bassett and Ryan Robinson are expected to top the spring depth chart. Gundy spoke about Robinson, as well as youngster Jimmy Bean, who should be a key part of the rotation in 2012.
Gundy on Jimmy Bean's potential:
"He's 22 pounds heavier and should make some plays. Bean got thrown out there because we had a depth issue last year, and it was unfair to him. We threw him out there, we had to play him early in the year to get his feet wet, to get him adjusted to it in case we got into a championship run and lost (Jamie) Blatnick or Richetti (Jones). Somebody's got to play. Decisions we make early in the season are based on, OK, if we're late in the year and we're trying to beat a team to win a championship and somebody goes down, I don't want to throw Bean out there and he's never played before. Unfortunately, we have to play some of those guys. We went through the same thing with (running backs) Desmond (Roland) and Herschel (Sims). We played Des because Herschel was a long ways away, because mentally he wasn't there. Then Herschel came around about a month later, then we played him."
On Ryan Robinson's progress:
"He didn't understand. He came in here from junior college, and things are a lot different. Everybody's bigger and faster and stronger and there's 80,000 people (in the stands) and you're on TV and you're tired and you've got to go to class. Just all the things that factor into being a kid. Now you're playing and you're not that strong and you don't know the system as well and you think and you're hesitant. Now he's 265 (pounds)—that's what he said he was when I saw him out the other day working. When we ran our 200s, he made every one of them. When he showed up here last year, he missed three or four of them. He was ready to quit. He's going to be different this year. I'm just giving you an example, an illustration, or really why I'm not concerned (about the players we have to replace)."
When asked who would start opposite Daytawion Lowe at safety, Gundy immediately said Lavocheya Cooper. I found that interesting, since Zack Craig became the main guy behind Markelle Martin and Lowe and made some plays late in the season, especially after Deion Imade went down with a knee injury in November. But Cooper also missed the first part of 2011, which I'm sure hindered his overall effectiveness when he came back.
Here's Gundy's take:
"Johnny (Thomas) and Markelle played 70 plays a game, we all know that, and they're both gone. But 'Voch has played, Zack's played, Daytawion's played. So one of those guys (will start opposite Lowe). Would I like to have one more going into the spring? I'd like to be two-deep, but nobody is."

The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Marie weakened into a Category 3 storm, but continued to kick up high swells along Mexico's northern Pacific coast and threatened to raise dangerous waves along the Southern California coast.
The U.S. Hurricane Center in Miami said that by late Monday night Marie had sustained winds of up to 115 mph (185 kph) and was located about 505 miles (815 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. It said the storm was moving northwest at 13 mph (20 kph).
Swells provoked by the storm were affecting much of Mexico's Pacific coast and the Hurricane Center warned of dangerous surf and rip current conditions.
Hurricane-force winds extended up to 60 miles (95 kilometers) away from the storm's center, with tropical storm-force winds reaching out to 310 miles (500 kilometers).
The hurricane center said Marie is expected to gradual weaken as it moves in a northwestwardly direction in the coming days, and could be downgraded to a tropical storm by Wednesday.
The southern Pacific coast state of Oaxaca requested federal disaster relief after about 10,000 homes were either damaged, flooded or cut off by mudslides on the state's mountainous rural roads due to rains associated with Marie last week. One man was injured in a mudslide but there were no reported deaths, the state government said late Sunday.
The government of Baja California Sur, closer to the hurricane's current location, said it would cancel some classes in the resort cities of Los Cabos as a precautionary measure.
Swells generated by Marie are expected to reach Southern California by Tuesday, and could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents, as well as minor coastal flooding, the hurricane center in Miami said.

Northernmamma, right now it takes everything we have to do it monthly because the temps have been steady at below 0!
But, as soon as it gets nice, (supposed to be warmer this week, yeah) I'm thinking we will also be cleaning them up more, about every two weeks.
We have never used a nippers and right now have no plans for getting one.
That's where it helped a lot to have the natural trimmer the first time. She took a nippers to them on her first visit and since we have kept them up since then, I don't see where we should ever have to use one.
Hopefully the next time the natural trimmer comes she will be able to shape them up loads better and we can again keep on with keeping them that way.
I am really looking forward to my riding season to see if this takes care of the tripping problem I have been having the past few years.
I think it will since the tripping always started when they were 6-8 post traditional trim.

These cereals range in density—including various flake products, puff ball products, and several granolas. Some of the cereals also contain fruit components that are added during the packaging process.
To package single-serve and bulk bags, NP uses a multilayer structure that includes a layer of biaxially oriented polypropylene. Supplied by Form Plastics Co. (www.formplastics.com),

the 140-gauge material in-cludes graphics that are rotogravure-printed in 8 colors.
The polypropylene thermoformed single-serve cups, also from Form Plastics, are delivered to NP pre-labeled with 8-color, rotogravure-printed paper labels. They're accompanied by a supply of pre-cut, 8-color, rotogravure-printed, heat-seal membrane lids that are polyester-based.
Both the bag lines and the cup line were designed by Integrated Packaging Systems (www.intpkgsys.com). The line-control programming was done by Jemco Controls (www.jemco-inc.com). And equipment installations were accomplished by Davis Mechanical Erectors (440/763-9300).
Vf/f/s bag versatility
NP president Mitch Hallgren says: "After reviewing available vertical form/fill/seal packaging equipment options, we selected two Mercury machines from Matrix Packaging Machinery (www.matrixpm.com) for use in tandem with two 14-head Model AMD-314D combination weigh scales from Yamato (www.yamatocorp.com) for the single-serve bag and bulk bag packaging lines. The broad range of capabilities and changeover flexibility of the Matrix Mercury vertical form/fill/seal packaging machines allow us to maintain consistent product quality across various bag sizes."
For its bulk-bagged cereals, NP is using a larger forming tube on one of the Matrix Mercury lines, coupled with the Yamato AMD-314-D scale, set up for multiple dumps.
Hallgren adds, "Since we purchased this equipment, the overall high level of customer service that Matrix provided—both from field technicians and office staff—has reinforced the decision that we made. We currently operate two of the Matrix Mercury vertical form/fill/seal bagging machines in St. Charles, and we have plans to expand to five of these machines as product demand increases."
The Mercury machines are operating consistently at packaging rates of 90 to 105 bpm, depending on cereal density and bag size, according to Hallgren. He reports: "Changeovers are smooth and efficient, usually taking about 8 to 10 minutes, resulting in minimal downtime."
Field technicians from Matrix set up the Mercury machines, provided on-site training, and assisted in start-up of the bagging lines. Hallgren notes, "We also took advantage of the in-depth training that Matrix offered at their facility in Saukville, WI. Matrix has a classroom facility with operating machines for hands-on training."
The automated bagging lines also incorporate tote handling, vibratory conveyor infeed equipment, and Tiger twin-head scales from Weighpack Systems, Inc. (www.weighpack.com) to dispense and control the flow of various fruit components over the cereal prior to entering the Yamato scale. The bags are monitored by a combination checkweigher/metal detector manufactured by Anritsu Industrial Solutions USA (www.detectionperfection.com), the U.S. arm of Anritsu Corp.
Cup operations
To handle the cups of single-serve cereal, NP selected a fully automated filling line featuring a Holmatic PR-4 fill/seal machine manufactured by IWKA Packaging Technologies (www.packt.com). As Hallgren explains, the PR-4 works in tandem with an ADW-324MD 24-bucket weigh scale, also from Yamato, for consistent production of 55-g cereal cups at speeds of 160 cpm.
The infeed tote dumper, bucket elevator, scale feed conveyor, and the two programmable mass-flow systems for adding and controlling the flow of the various fruit components to the cereal cups as they progress to the scale were all designed and manufactured by FMC-Allen Systems (www.fmctechnologies.com). A vacuum conveyor discharges the filled and sealed cups to a checkweigher manufactured by Hi-Speed Checkweigher Co., Inc. (www.hispeedcheckweigher.com), and then to a Model 1310 ink-jet coding system from Videojet Technologies Inc. (www.videojet.com). A high-speed Anritsu metal detector completes the line. From the metal detector the cups are channeled to the case-packing stations via a conveyor system constructed by Mechanical Design (www.mechanicaldesigngroup.net).
Casing stations
NP uses case-erecting equipment from Wexxar Packaging Machinery (www.wexxar.com) for both its bagged and cup-packed cereals. The corrugated cases are manually loaded.
The cases of cups then are routed via an out-feed conveyor also constructed by Mechanical Design to a tape-sealing station where they are securely closed using a top taper from 3M Packaging Systems (www.3m.com/packaging). Filled cases of bagged cereals are closed using a Model 252 top taper from Belcor Industries, Inc. (www.belcor.com). Coding of all the cases is performed by a Marsh Video Jet Patrion Plus coding system from Videojet Technologies Inc.
NP Food Service Sales currently distributes its cereal products throughout the United States and is also developing markets in Mexico and Chile through a cooperative agreement with companies in those markets.

DescriptionPrincess Shizuhime has been kidnapped by a group of ninja under the command of Genbu, and brought to the castle of the malevolent Lord Hiei. The brave young ninja Kaze is summoned by Lord Yoshikage and sent on a dangerous mission: infiltrate Hiei's castle, defeat his minions, and rescue Shizuhime.
Kaze Kiri is essentially a beat-em-up with a few distinguishing characteristics. The game consists of traversing fully linear side-scrolling areas, defeating regular enemies and bosses on the way. Before being able to fight the stage boss, Kaze has to vanquish a pre-determined number of enemies, which is displayed as a shared enemy HP on top of the screen.
Kaze attacks with his sword when he is near the enemy, or throws shurikens at them from afar. Enemy projectiles can also be blocked by countering them with shurikens. Kaze can also disappear for a moment and re-appear at another location. He can jump, duck, perform somersaults, and grab and throw enemies. Kaze's health regenerates over time if he is not hit repeatedly. Completing the game unlocks another playable character, the female ninja Suzu.

"Obama auto czar Rattner delivers a vigorous account of the bailout of the automobile industry -- a success, though one fraught with controversy... A fine inside-baseball account of how things can get done when people agree to get them done, even in Washington." --Kirkus Reviews
"OVERHAUL is filled with delicious descriptions of what happened behind the scenes in the White House and at the Treasury Department as the effort to save GM and Chrysler unfolded... a riveting read." --Wall Street Journal
"required reading" --New York Times
"[a] compelling story about how government reacts to economic crisis...Rattner's book is an extraordinary account of how government, brandishing the stick of bankruptcy, was able in a few months to accomplish tremendous restructuring of a major American industry in ways that had eluded the private sector for half a century or more. (His material on GM's clueless management is truly priceless.)" --Slate.com
"Unquestionably the best book so far about the Obama presidency" --Slate.com
"Overhaul is required reading to understand the auto industry." - Motor Trend
"[OVERHAUL] offers a careful, but lively, account of the auto industry bailout. Rattner takes us from the very beginning, when the Bush Administration was still in charge and two Detroit automakers were on the verge of total collapse, almost until the present day, when one of the companies (General Motors) seems to be thriving and the other (Chrysler) seems at least to be surviving." --NewRepublic.com
"While there have been other books about the Obama administration, this is the first from the inside and it is full of glimpses behind the curtain that we usually have to wait four years to see….The best parts of "Overhaul" are the vivid pictures Rattner paints of the economic team." –Bloomberg News
"Steven Rattner shows a journalist's eye for detail….OVERHAUL is a feast of political and financial intrigue." – Detroit Free Press
"With lively reconstructions of meetings in the Oval Office, Rattner shows the struggle over whether government should intervene….persuasive…illuminating…After Team Auto, GM has a much cleaner balance sheet and is set for a stock market flotation before theend of the year. The government might well get its money back. So those who think Obama is bad for business should read Overhaul. But anyone who believes in the fiction of arm's-length government investment will find some corrective facts, too." -- Financial Times
"Overhaul" is not a Washington memoir, even though it is set in Washington, and it involves one of the most deeply politicized issues in recent memory. It is a Wall Street memoir, a book about one of the biggest private-equity deals in history....unexpectedly fascinating" - Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker
"[a] surprisingly modest account…Rattner has a journalistic talent for the telling detail, resulting in a memorable tale of life in the middle of the economic meltdown….Rattner deftly draws portraits of the inhabitants of "the Oval" and the West Wing….Rattner has proved himself a gifted chronicler." - Time Magazine
As Counselor to the Secretary of the Treasury, Steven Rattner led the Administration's efforts to restructure the auto industry. Prior to that, he was Managing Principal of Quadrangle Group, LLC. At Lazard Frères & Co. he was Deputy Chairman/Deputy Chief Executive Officer, after tenures at Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers. He was also employed by the New York Times for nearly nine years, principally as an economic correspondent. He continues to write for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Financial Times. He lives in New York.

In this pathbreaking book, Xiaoyuan Liu establishes the ways in which the history of the Chinese Communist Party was, from the Yan'an period onward, intertwined with the ethnopolitics of the Chinese "periphery." As a Han-dominated party, the CCP had to adapt to an inhospitable political environment, particularly among the Hui (Muslims) of northwest China and the Mongols of Inner Mongolia. Based on a careful examination of CCP and Soviet Comintern documents only recently available, Liu's study shows why the CCP found itself unable to follow the Russian Bolshevik precedent of inciting separatism among the non-Han peoples as a stratagem for gaining national power. Rather than swallowing Marxist-Leninist dogma on "the nationalities question," the CCP took a position closer to that of the Kuomintang, stressing the inclusiveness of the Han-dominated Chinese nation, "Zhonghua Minzu."

Dita von Teese is the personification of glamour. In a world of cookie-cutter starlets, she stands out as a beautiful and original icon with a look that is all her own. Everything she does embodies her personal aesthetic, and her fragrances are no exception.
According to Dita von Teese, she's just a "normal girl from a farming town in Michigan." Of course, we know that isn't exactly the case these days. The instantly recognizable burlesque star, model, actress, and designer is an all-around icon, and we caught up with her to get the inside scoop on her new fragrance line. Dita created the two distinct scents—Black and Rouge—over the course of a year in Paris, as she imagined "the kinds of fragrances [her] idols, like Marlene Dietrich, would wear." In our exclusive video interview, the glamorous star dishes on her creative process, why it's important to build a "fragrance wardrobe," and how to ignore everyone else in favor of doing what makes you feel beautiful.

ATSC Approves Preliminary Mobile DTV StandardFinal standard for mobile broadcasting expected in mid-2009 11/26/2008 05:11:00 AM Eastern
Related: Mobile DTV Speeds Toward Technical Standard
As expected, the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) has approved a proposed system that would allow DTV stations to broadcast to cell phones and other portable devices as a "candidate standard," with a final ATSC standard expected in the second or third quarter of next year.
While minor tweaks are possible before it becomes a final ATSC standard, the candidate standard announced today means that the major technology choices for a mobile DTV system have been made, and vendors can start building devices based on those specifications. The candidate ATSC-Mobile/Handheld (M/H) standard is based on the MPH (Mobile Pedestrian Handheld) mobile DTV transmission system jointly developed by consumer electronics giant LG Electronics and transmitter manufacturer Harris Broadcast. It is also now supported by Samsung, which had previously pushed its own mobile DTV system.
By using a new digital exciter that is backward-compatible with the existing 8-VSB (vestigial sideband) transmission system currently used for DTV, ATSC-M/H will allow a mobile DTV stream to be broadcast within a station's digital channel without interfering with existing standard- or high-definition program services. The cost to implement mobile DTV is relatively low, running $250,000 or less per station for the new exciter and supporting encoders and multiplexing gear.
Through application software specifications, the candidate standard also includes support for new interactive TV applications, such as audience voting, through an optional Internet connection on the mobile receiver. It will also allow stations to deploy new data broadcasting services such as providing real-time navigation data for in-vehicle use and providing news and sports highlights in on-demand form to consumers.
While ATSC doesn't release the exact results of its standards votes, ATSC president Mark Richer said the draft ATSC-M/H standard was "overwhelmingly approved" to be raised to candidate standard status by ATSC's Technology and Standards Group. He also emphasized the contributions of new ATSC members to the mobile DTV standard process.
"There's just been a groundswell of support for this, and our technical groups have done a phenomenal job," says Richer.
He adds that the standards body has crafted a new "ATSC Mobile" logo that manufacturers can use to promote their mobile DTV products.
The ATSC-M/H candidate standard is expected to be implemented in prototype receiver devices in order to provide technical feedback over the coming months. Some of the new capabilities of mobile DTV are also likely to be demonstrated at the CES show in Las Vegas in January, both by handset manufacturers and members of the Open Mobile Video Coalition, a consortium of some 800 local stations that has been driving the mobile DTV standards process.
"This new Candidate Standard will enable broadcasters to launch services and will also allow device manufacturers to move forward with product development to ensure this emerging industry will have a successful commercial deployment in 2009," said Brandon Burgess, President of the Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC) and ION Media Networks Chairman and CEO, in a statement.
The ATSC Specialist Group on Mobile & Handheld, chaired by Mark Aitken, Director of Advanced Technology for the Sinclair Broadcast Group, evaluated the initial mobile DTV proposals and drafted the standard. The ATSC Technology & Standards Group, chaired by John Henderson, consultant to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), approved elevation of the document to Candidate Standard after a six-week ballot.
As previously reported by B&C, the ATSC-M/H candidate standard incorporates established video, audio and data technologies, such as IP-based transport, MPEG AVC (H.264) video compression and HE AAC v2 audio (ISO/IEC 14496-3) coding. It consists of eight parts that together form a complete specification for a broadcast digital television signal that can deliver live television service, data and interactivity to new mobile and handheld receivers, while maintaining backward compatibility with existing DTV receivers. They are:
Part 1 – Mobile/Handheld Digital Television System
Part 2 – RF/Transmission System Characteristics
Part 3 – Service Multiplex and Transport Subsystem Characteristics
Part 4 – Announcement
Part 5 – Presentation Framework
Part 6 – Service Protection
Part 7 – Video System Characteristics
Part 8 – Audio System Characteristics

text: Friendly people and sunny weather greeted all walkers and runners who came to the second annual Rutland Rec Ramble. For its sophomore year the Rutland Recreation Department added a 1.5 mile fun run and walk to kick things off. Rutland's own Adam Mayer and Ryan Helle did their hometown proud by being the first male and female respectively to break the tape for the 1.5 mile fun run. The first non-Rutland funrunner to come scorching over the finish line was Boylston's Britt Golas. For the 5 mile race, Scott Leslie took it all with a time of 28:50. First female and 14th overall was Karla Steele with a time of 34:35. Special honors go to Lisa Barthelson who turned in a stellar performance and won her age category.

Are you kidding me?
Regardless if there is some mind altering brain function that happens during PMS or not, their body feels like shit. A number of uncomfortable physical things happen to the female body during menstruation, and anyone can get moody when they feel bad.
True, everyone should be mindful of their own behavior, and being awful when feeling sick, injured, or even going through menstruation is still being awful. However women on their cycle should be given a little slack at least, they do feel awful, and some are worse than others.

This was a recipe that I finally came up with (after much help here on CC!) for a groom's cake. It turns out wonderfully light and moist, with just the right flavor!
Maria's Butter Pecan Wedding Cake
- 2 cups chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup margarine (or butter)
1 box Betty Crocker Butter Pecan cake mix
- 1 small box French Vanilla pudding mix
- 4 egg whites
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 oz. sour cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1. Sautee over medium heat chopped pecans in 1/4 up margarine or butter for about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning! Set aside.
- 2. Mix together all wet ingredients: egg whites, oil, water, sour cream, vanilla; until thoroughly combined.
- 3. Slowly add dry pudding mix and dry cake mix. Mix at medium speed for 2 minutes.
- 4. Add in 1 cup of sauteed pecans and mix slightly by hand.
- 5. Pour batter into greased and floured pans. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Toothpick comes out clean when done!
- 6. Frost with your favorite buttercream!
I don't think I want to know…

Smart Sleep Habits
Burning the candle at both ends? Don't skimp on a good night's sleep.
College life is hectic. Staying on top of your coursework, immersing yourself in campus social life and finding the time to eat right, exercise and stay connected with family and friends back home can be overwhelming at times. And your sleep cycle is usually the first thing to suffer.
Not getting enough sleep is an age-old problem on college campuses. Pulling the infamous "all-nighter" and showing up bleary-eyed for classes have become somewhat of a rite of passage. But getting plenty of shut-eye is an important part of your overall wellness. Sleep deprivation can:
- hurt academic and athletic performance
- interfere with your memory and ability to reason and concentrate (Did you know falling asleep at the wheel results in thousands of deaths each year?)
- make you more susceptible to injury
- increase stress levels
- reduce your body's ability to fight infection or heal
In addition, some research shows that inadequate sleep--or too much--may make you more prone to obesity, according to a recent study. Although the reasons for this are still being explored, researchers believe hormones that help regulate weight gain are affected by the amount of sleep you get. Psychological issues may also play a role. Some studies have even shown that getting too little sleep can strain the heart, increasing heartbeats and disrupting brain and heart activity.
And, let's be honest, you're probably not your most pleasant self when you're exhausted.
Sleep is so important to overall health that some colleges include healthy sleep as part of their orientation programs. Some have even canceled early morning classes in an effort to give students more flexibility to catch enough ZZZs.
Recharging Your Brain: How Much Sleep Is Enough?
The truth is that it depends on the person. Some people can get by with only five or six hours of sleep a night. But the National Sleep Foundation says adults need seven to nine hours to feel refreshed and be productive.
Say "Yes" to Healthy Sleep Habits
There are steps you can take to make sure you get plenty of ZZZs:
- Stick to a routine sleep schedule. Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same times each day. Sleeping in until the afternoon hours to try to "catch up" on lost sleep will only throw your body more off balance, leaving you exhausted.
- Don't rely on caffeine, nicotine or other stimulants to give you an extra boost. It may be tempting to take pills to help you stay awake and cram for exams, but they disrupt your sleep patterns and may be harmful. If you need rest, sleep is the best solution.
- Set the stage for sleep. Dorm rooms aren't exactly spacious, so finding a place to do work or study can be a challenge, but try not to work in bed. Shut down your computer and put away your textbooks an hour or so before turning in for the night. And don't be sheepish about talking with your roommates about setting quiet hours. You may want to use earplugs or a small fan to mask the noise. It's also a good idea to keep the lights low or off, keep the room cool and agree to take phone calls outside the room.
- Avoid late-night meals and exercise in the few hours leading up to bedtime. Food and the adrenaline rush you get from exercising can make it more difficult to fall asleep. On the other hand, getting routine exercise earlier in the day can promote restful sleep later.
- Don't pull all-nighters. Learn how to manage your time and keep up with your studies so you aren't left with just one night to cram for a test or write a term paper.
- Take a deep breath and relax if you have trouble sleeping. There's nothing worse than watching the clock and getting anxious about how many hours of sleep you have left. If you really can't sleep, don't stress. Read a book (not a textbook) or do something else to help you relax, and then try again.
- Fight the urge to take long naps. While a 20- to 30-minute nap in the early afternoon may help reenergize you, longer naps may interrupt your normal sleep patterns.
- Take a hot shower before bed to help you relax.
If you think you need help sleeping, make an appointment to talk with someone at the student health center. Unresolved fatigue also can be a symptom of more serious health issues, so if you feel chronically exhausted, it's important to see a health care professional.

Overview to Frankfurt: Travel Guide and Tourist Information
- Frankfurt Information
- Eating & drinking in Frankfurt
- Night life in Frankfurt
- Getting around in Frankfurt
- Things to do in Frankfurt
- Where to stay in Frankfurt
- Frankfurt street map
Frankfurt is often overlooked by backpackers in Germany; yet the city has more about to offer than many travelers might imagine. Although only the fifth largest city in Germany, it has the cosmopolitan air of a global village and seems set on something more ambitious.
At the heart of the city lies the Romer Square, home to the Rathaus Frankfurt's historical town hall, built in the 15th century. Other attractions include St Paul's Church, Frankfurt Cathedral, and the Goethe-House, all of which attract their fair share of visitors.
Frankfurt was heavily bombed during World War II, which, sadly, means that much of its impressive medieval core was destroyed. Precious little of this old center still remains, although the half-timbered houses of the Aldstadt (Old Town) are undeniably pretty.
Perversely, it's this lack of historical sites that has given Frankfurt its unique character. Its Westend boasts several huge, cutting-edge skyscrapers and a morning of admiring one of the most architecturally dynamic cities in Europe would hardly be misspent.
Its status as a hub of business and commerce brings knock-on benefits to the amount of money Frankfurt has to throw at the arts. As a result, the city's overflowing with museums and galleries and, out in the suburbs, it's given a distinctly bohemian edge.
The River Main cuts the city in two, separating the hectic business district in the center from the more laidback charms of the south. Here, the Sachsenhausen area has been pedestrianized and cobbled, perfect for pleasantly whiling away a day exploring its charms.
Many of the city's excellent museums are also clustered together to the south of the river, in the Museumsufer. The Deutsche Architekturmuseum, the Deutsche Filmmuseum and, especially, the Stadel (one of the most prestigious art galleries in Europe) all stand out.
Frankfurt is also an excellent place for shopping. The prices to the northwest of the center and along the Zeil probably mean that it will be window-shopping only, however! For something a little more alternative, Schaumainkai holds a fleamarket on Saturdays.
Away from the thrusting center, Bornheim, Hocht and Nordend all have a distinctive neighborhood feel. The city also has a number of attractive green spaces dotted around, such as the 19th century Palmen Gardens and the Chinese Garden.
Deceptively appealing, there's more to the city than meets the eye. Perhaps it's the range of its understated appeal, or its unpretentious air, but Frankfurt somehow manages to add up to much more than the sum of its parts.

If nobody is with us, we might watch something arty—there are marvelous channels of opera or concerts—then go to bed and read.
The city of Liverpool, on the west coast of England, always suggests to me some heroic old warhorse of an opera.
He would sit alongside one of those old tube radios, listening to opera.
We both like to travel and go to the opera and bike so having kid would definitely put a kink in our lifestyle.
Keith Miller was headed for an enviable position in the NFL--until the velvet-voiced gridiron star was serenaded by the opera.
All was reconciled and settled; Viola had her way, and selected her own opera.
It was the night you and the folks went to the opera with the Oldakers.
His second opera, Rogneda, is already a falling off from the first.
Could—could Mr. Hynes have gone to the opera just because he had heard that I would be there?
The final chorus of the opera is as light and bright as the first.
"a drama sung" [Klein], 1640s, from Italian opera, literally "a work, labor, composition," from Latin opera "work, effort" (Latin plural regarded as feminine singular), secondary (abstract) noun from operari "to work," from opus (genitive operis) "a work" (see opus). Defined in "Elson's Music Dictionary" as, "a form of musical composition evolved shortly before 1600, by some enthusiastic Florentine amateurs who sought to bring back the Greek plays to the modern stage."
No good opera plot can be sensible. ... People do not sing when they are feeling sensible. [W.H. Auden, 1961]As a branch of dramatic art, it is attested from 1759. First record of opera glass "small binoculars for use at the theater" is from 1738. Soap opera is first recorded 1939, as a disparaging reference to daytime radio dramas sponsored by soap manufacturers.
"a work, composition," especially a musical one, 1809, from Latin opus "a work, labor, exertion" (source of Italian opera, French oeuvre, Spanish obra), from PIE root *op- (Germanic *ob-) "to work, produce in abundance," originally of agriculture later extended to religious acts (cf. Sanskrit apas- "work, religious act;" Avestan hvapah- "good deed;" Old High German uoben "to start work, to practice, to honor;" German üben "to exercise, practice;" Dutch oefenen, Old Norse æfa, Danish øve "to exercise, practice;" Old English æfnan "to perform, work, do," afol "power"). The plural, seldom used as such, is opera.
A musical drama that is totally or mostly sung. Aïda, Carmen, and Don Giovanni are some celebrated operas. A light, comic opera is often called an operetta.

no. i just installed and played soul calibur 4 using a blackcat usb 1.5 with teensy 1.0 patched hex. works fine!
no. i just installed and played soul calibur 4 using a blackcat usb 1.5 with teensy 1.0 patched hex. works fine!
No it should do everything the other chips do. Its just another option. It reportedly has the same chip as the teensy.
If its as compatible as the other chips with the games actually working remains to be seen.
excuse me... incoming:
Looks legit but there's already that one game not compatible! I hope that's not an indication of things to come with this device!
I just finished watching your video, thanks for all the clarifications.
Looks good. Wonder if we will be able to find out why some games don't work.
So the blackcat 1.5 is both copying AND booting games on the HDD or just copying?
Now, we need something to copy ISO game files from PC to internal HDD over a network!
Since the Blackcat is working and it is AT90USB162 does that also confirm that the Olimex one will work?
@ thinnpikkins
dont you need a game in the the console or the backup wont boot?
I can recall its required to pop a game back in no matter what because it still needs the boot code from the disc.

Starvation Heights by Gregg Olsen
In 1911 two wealthy British heiresses, Claire and Dora Williamson, came to a sanitorium in the forests of the Pacific Northwest to undergo the revolutionary fasting treatment of Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard. It was supposed to be a holiday for the two sisters. But within a month of arriving at what the locals called Starvation Heights, the women were emaciated shadows of their former selves, waiting for death. They were not the first victims of Linda Hazzard, a quack doctor of extraordinary evil and greed who would stop at nothing short of murder to achieve her ambitions. As their jewelry disappeared and forged bank drafts began transferring their wealth to Hazzard's accounts, Dora Williamson sent a last desperate plea to a friend in Australia, begging her to save them from the brutal treatments and lonely isolation of Starvation Heights. In this true story a haunting saga of medical murder set in an era of steamships and gaslights Gregg Olsen reveals one of the most unusual and disturbing criminal cases in American history.
