Untamed Mexico
KINO BAY, Mexico

State Highway 100 cuts across the Sonoran Desert from Hermosillo to one of the great Mexican dead ends: At Kino Bay, you can't go any farther west unless you swim the Gulf of California, formed when the San Andreas Fault split open and saltwater poured in.

That was millions of years ago, but it could have been yesterday by the day-after-creation look of Kino Bay. Here, the parched desert ends in a wide, sandy beach tended only by waves. An otherworldly seascape begins, in milky blue, and the shark's-tooth silhouette of Tiburon Island looms on the horizon.

People say the meeting of Namibian Desert sand dunes and Atlantic Ocean on the western coast of Africa must be seen, like a clash of titans. At Kino Bay, the Sonoran Desert and Gulf of California meet more harmoniously and hauntingly, as my brother John and I discovered in early November.

We flew to Phoenix, rented a Jeep Cherokee, drove south to the border at Nogales, then across the Sonoran Desert where Father Eusebio Kino — for whom the bay was named — evangelized among the native people in the late 17th century. We ate cheese puffs, listened to Bach and argued, which is how John and I communicate whenever we embark on the occasional off-road-and-map adventure I wouldn't have the nerve to do by myself.

When we reached Hermosillo, the visibly thriving state capital of Sonora, we turned west on Highway 100, where I kept telling John to slow down because construction crews were working in the dark to finish widening the road (expected to be completed by mid-May). The improvements, it's hoped, will spur development at Kino, prime tourist territory but hard to reach compared with Puerto Penasco to the north and Guaymas to the south.

More than just visiting Kino, we wanted to get to Tiburon, the largest of 900 islands in the Gulf of California, separated from the mainland by a channel sometimes so tempestuous that it is called El Infiernillo, or Little Hell.

Tiburon has been a nature preserve since the 1960s and is a seedbed for the rich plant and animal life of the Gulf of California, the frigate birds and brown-footed boobies, saguaro, boojum trees, bottle-nosed dolphins, piebald chuckwallas, starfish, sea cucumbers and loping jackrabbits.

Development — especially commercial fishing and the harvesting of ironwood trees for charcoal — has taken a toll on the region's astonishing biodiversity, which is partly why a Mexican marine base was established on Tiburon, why environmentalists guard it so jealously and why scientists line up to do research on and around the island.

The human history of Tiburon is equally compelling. It is the ancestral homeland of the Seri Indians, one of Mexico's most distinctive indigenous peoples. The semi-nomadic Seris remained hunter-gatherers into the 20th century and fiercely resisted Spanish and Mexican efforts to subdue them.

Loathed by ranchers, who shot them on sight, and rumored to be cannibals (an accusation denied by the Seris), their population plummeted to fewer than 100 by about 1850, when they were forcibly moved to a ghetto in Hermosillo and their young were placed with foster families.

But like some Old Testament tribe, the Seris found their children and escaped to Tiburon, the setting of their myths and their source of wisdom about the natural world.

Later, when the island was turned into a preserve, the government built for the Seri the villages of Punta Chueca and El Desemboque.

In 1975, Mexico gave Tiburon back to them, along with exclusive fishing rights in the Infiernillo channel.

I tried to line up a Seri guide to take us to Tiburon, but everyone told me just to drive the rough, unpaved road north of Kino to Punta Chueca or El Desemboque.

After we reached the bay, we spent the night at Posada Las Aves, a neat little motel court a few blocks from the beach, then went to the Seri Museum on the northern side of Kino, where I had arranged to meet Ruben Garcia, the director.

Garcia had brought along an English-speaking friend, Filiberto Vargas, who offered to take us to Punta Chueca, about 20 miles north of Kino, to meet a Seri guide.

The Seris learned how to harvest this singular cornucopia, although the population never numbered much more than several thousand. It is estimated that there are now 650 Seris who subsist mainly by making crafts, fishing and selling licenses to hunt bighorn sheep, introduced on Tiburon Island in the 1970s. Each license sells for more than $100,000, a windfall that has brought striking changes, as anyone approaching Punta Chueca can see.

Satellite dishes bloom in trash-filled yards, and shiny, new trucks sit beside windowless concrete-block houses that lack electricity and running water. The village has a basketball court, bunker-like church and ramshackle marina but no shops, restaurants or tourist attractions.

Filiberto easily found the home of Ernesto Molina, an experienced Seri guide. Molina, a quiet man who speaks some English, agreed to take us to Tiburon in his boat the next day. He wanted $150 for a half-day visit, with a hike, or $500 to take us around the island, camping on the beach overnight. John leaned toward the longer trip, but I was feeling cautious, so we chose the shorter itinerary.

The sun was shining the next morning, and there was no wind, boding well for our expedition to Tiburon. Around 8 a.m., we were back in Punta Chueca, following Ernesto and his wife to the waterfront. With a few spare, elegant movements, he launched his 26-foot panga, a wooden boat with an old motor.

Contrary to its reputation, El Infiernillo was glassy smooth that day. Flocks of birds shot into the sky as we neared Tiburon, its stark mass coalescing into details: a mucky beach and sand shelf stepping up to the desert floor, where someone had built a few ocotillo huts; the long, broad skirt of the island with its pattern of low desert scrub rising to the mountainous backbone of 30-mile-long Tiburon. When Ernesto finished anchoring the panga, we put on our hiking boots and set out west toward one of the few waterholes on the island.

It was easy going at first, as creosote and elephant trees yielded to a forest of twisted ironwood. There was no path, but Ernesto knew the way, leading us through blue-flowered desert mallow, around prickly cholla cactus and across rocky dry washes. He spotted a mule deer, and I almost stepped on a tarantula. A jackrabbit leapt out of the brush, each hop seemingly as long as a kangaroo's.

The route got rougher and steeper, and the walk became a desert bushwhack. I was hot and tired by the time we reached the waterhole, brackish and shrunken, sunk in a pile of boulders at the head of a narrow canyon. We passed around trail mix and collapsed on the cool red rocks, shaded by the canyon walls.

Somehow Ernesto found exactly the same route back to the boat. That impressed John, who knew every fence hole and shortcut in our suburban St. Louis neighborhood when we were kids. "Imagine having Tiburon as your back yard," he said.

We saw dolphins as we recrossed the channel and, back in the village, John bought a beautiful, taut basket made by Ernesto's wife.

As we drove out of the village, we took one long last look at Tiburon Island. Now we could say we'd seen it, although getting to a place you've long wanted to see can be dangerous because the reality rarely matches the dream. Tiburon was, I think, like that for John and me, as untrammeled and beautiful as we'd hoped, but sad, too.

With new development probably coming to Kino Bay, the island and the way of life it symbolizes seem ever more tenuous. I only hope Tiburon Island will always look the same to the Seris when they watch the sun set in the Gulf of California.<

Saw it last night with my niccas and I have to say:
For good and for naught: this is a Seth MacFarlane product and if you are familiar with his work, you know what to expect.
Lets start with the bad: 80's references are the main course here, people. Seth continues his obsession with making you relive the nostalgic moments of his childhood and much of the humor revolves around now obscure references; with a huge chunk of the movie dedicated to a running gag involving the cheesy 80's film adaptation of Flash Gordon.
There's also the usual MacFarlane-isms: the use of cutaways, a pointless overtly long f!ght scene, humor steeped in pop culture, race, s3x, and body functions, references to Family Guy, and the usual absurdist gags.
However (onto the good)
a huge chunk of the movie is fun. When Seth lets the stoner childhood buddy relationship flow through Wahlberg and Ted, it shines very brightly. Ill give Seth props: he and his writers really stepped up their dialogue skills. Much of the humor is faster than typical MacFarlane fare and forces you to actually listen; and the absurdist atmosphere present in Seth's work is utilized excellently in certain key scenes (the ted's apartment party scene is the highlight of the movie and the culmination of what makes Ted enjoyable).
Also, a bit off topic: the casting director has a great eye for women. Several of the supporting cast and extras are damn good looking enough to have me out loud saying "who is that?"
Otherwise, Wahlberg, Kunis, and MacFarlane all deliver very well with what their given, and Giovanni Ribisi shows up to play an extra creepy stalker obsessed with Ted.
Ted is funny, yet sags when it has to put energy into the formulaic "choose childhood buddy or love" plot. Refreshing when it utilizes the better points of MacFarlane's brand of humor, but suffers in instances from that same brand. But I can't say I didn't enjoy myself.
My score: 6.5-7/10

The Importance of Public Space
In premodern cities, the architecture of the public domain – the temples, cathedrals, monuments and the deliberately shaped spaces around them – conferred status to citizens and communicated authority to the outside world. Central Park and Bryant Park in New York City; Golden Gate Park, Market Street and the Embarcadero in San Francisco; and the venerated Emerald Necklace in Boston are public spaces in more recent cities. In the best examples of all worlds, cities are continuous networks of humanized space.

Is TOS the best sci-fi TV American series until 1985?

As to whether it trumps TOS . . . well, it really is an apples-and-oranges comparison, given that one was an ongoing series and one was an anthology. How about we just say that they're both the crown jewels of that era's genre programming, and are of more or less equal stature?
I thought I did.
The failure of the subsequent Twilight Zones speaks for itself, I think.
The classic episodes that everyone is supposed to know and love is a small fraction of the series.
Even the bleaker episodes have what would today be perceived as sentimentality. The monsters on Elm Street episode today would be like Spielberg's War of the Worlds, about the tragic need to unleash
inner monster to survive the threat. Etc.

I received the following question via the feedback link on this blog and I thought I would share the answer with everyone; write once, publish everywhere : )
I've read the OneNote, What's New for Developers Pts 1 and 2 and looked at the XML schema stuff. Can't find any information about what types of files (extensions, file types) that can be inserted, and what types of audio/video file types are compatible and insertable. Can you point me to the appropriate documentation or answer this directly?
Great question. You can insert any file type into OneNote! By default we don't restrict why files you can put onto a OneNote page, you can put anything that you may want and it will appear on the page. Of course system administrator can turn this off and the API will respect this settings. We have enabled admins to disable the "Insert Files" feature as well as disable the ability for users to open inserted files (I sometimes call them embedded files, sorry for the doublespeak). We also have policies to turn off certain types of file, like it is okay to open Word .docx but you can't open a .exe file.
Next part about what audio/video files are compatible with OneNote. Well it really depends on what you are trying to do; if you just want the file to be on the page you can do that by just insert it. However if you want to insert an audio/video file and have linked notes (like when you choose to insert an audio recording) then you would need to use: WMA, WMV, WAV, MP3, etc. I believe anything that has a DirectShow filter installed. I just tried with the following formats and it worked without any problem. Hope this helps!
I'm looking into OneNote 2007's as a potential host for a scientific research log. With information being added in many short snippets, I found it best to organize it is in collapsable outline hierarchies. Lot of pictures have to be attached, along with the text in the outline, and this is where my problems begin.
Inserting them as proper pictures consumes a lot of screen space, and does not preserve the file names or link to the original files. I find this very unpractical. The other option I see is to attach them as files. However, this has the significant drawback that I can only see a generic icon until I open the picture in a separate program. The ideal thing for me would be for the file icons to be replaced with previews, much like in Windows Explorer - I am quite surprised that this feature is not available by default. Could this be done by a custom PowerToy?

I've used both dry and liquid. I have no idea why you've had trouble with the stabilizer. I've mixed everything without any problem, however, I will admit to not paying much attention to the stabilizer - only that there was nothing out of the ordinary to direct my attention to the mixing process.

At 15 months did you/are you guys still using shopping cart covers & public high chair covers? We had stopped because I felt like it was overkill, but DD came down with a sudden, horrible fever out of nowhere the other day and I've had her out and about a lot, so I fear the bug was likely picked up on a shopping cart. I've never wanted to be the overly sterile type of parent, and feel like exposing her regularly to the worlds germs is the best way for her immune system to stay strong, but seeing her hit so hard really freaked me out! Just curious if I should be keeping her a little more protected (ie, covers & such) until she's a little older?

I've actually never used any sort of cover with any of my three. I figure that kids will get sick and it actually helps build their immune system some so that maybe when they are in school they won't get sick as often and miss as much school. If you are really concerned, maybe bring disinfecting wipes with you and wipe down the cart/chair before putting LO in it that way you don't have to worry about the bulky cover?

I agree with pp's who would use the cart cover for comfort, but not necessarily to avoid germs. Germs are going to happen.
Proud mama of Danny 1/16/2013 and Dawson 5/23/2014 <3
We are still using a cart cover for grocery carts and public highchairs, but will probably phase it out sometime this summer. He gets exposed to a lot of germs through daycare and his cousins, so he is definitely building immunities, but this way he gets a little protection when possible. Plus it is comfy for him! A win-win. Mommy feels less concerned and LO gets a cushy seat!

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. home prices jumped 3.8 percent in the 12 months ending in July, according to a private real estate data provider. The year-over-year increase was the biggest in six years, further evidence that the housing market is steadily recovering.
DEAR BENNY: I thought condo fees were for the maintenance and repair of homes and grounds, and for lawn care. Our association fees also pay for parties. I think the people who participate in the parties should pay for the parties themselves. Our condo fees have been raised twice since I moved here six years ago, and they are expected to go up again this coming fiscal year. What can be done to remove the party category from the budget? --R.E.

DEAR BENNY: I am in the process of buying an older single-family home and found one I like. I wanted to have my contract contingent on obtaining a favorable home inspection, but my real estate agent has been discouraging me. She claims that I may lose the house if I insist on the inspection. What do you think? --Terrie
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. home prices are finally starting to increase consistently.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell this week and are just slightly above record lows reached earlier this year. The low rates have contributed to a modest housing recovery.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Sales of bank-owned homes and those already on the foreclosure path fell sharply in the second quarter, reflecting a thinner slate of properties for sale in many cities as banks take a measured approach to placing homes on the market.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans signed the most contracts to buy homes in July than at any other point in the last two years, further evidence of a housing recovery.
The new school year is upon us and with it comes hectic schedules and harried mornings that make weekdays a mad dash. With school lunches to make, snacks to prepare and evening meals to plan, getting out the door on time can be a challenge. Having the house in order and a few things made ahead of time can be a huge convenience that means a world of difference in those time-crunched minutes.
Does the bogey man exist?
RIPON - The Central Valley Association of Realtors (CVAR) held their annual awards luncheon on July 25 at Spring Creek Golf & Country Club. Awards were given for "Masters Club" which honors top agents in the area based on sales volume. Also awarded were the Realtor & Affiliate of the Year awards for each respective council of CVAR.
DEAR BENNY: I am the owner of a house that has flooded repeatedly over the past eight years. It is paid off. I want to pull the equity out of the property and walk away from it. How do I best approach this task? I have considerable cash assets that I do not want to put at risk.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sales of new homes in the United States rose 3.6 percent in July to match a two-year high reached in May, the latest sign of a steady recovery in the housing market.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages have risen for a fourth straight week, remaining slightly above record lows. Cheap mortgages have helped fuel a modest housing recovery this year.

The Rockford IceHogs hardly could have been more erratic than they were during their most ambitious stretch of the season.
The Rockford IceHogs hardly could have been more erratic than they were during their most ambitious stretch of the season.
Playing seven games in nine days, they experienced every emotion possible. They were very good and very bad in finishing 4-3. What's important is they finished strong (three straight wins) and learned a lot about themselves in the process.
"I think we found our identity," head coach Bill Peters said. "We realized we had to work hard and compete each and every night to have a chance.
"Right now, it's all about hard work and grit and to be there for each other. Right now, if we rely on our upper-end skill, we're going to be disappointed most nights. If we don't get our noses dirty and compete and get pucks in deep and are physical, then we're not a very effective team."
Pelletier produces big again
Seven of Pascal Pelletier's goals have come in two games, including a three-goal hat trick Saturday at home against Chicago. He had a four-goal explosion also this season.
"He's been a little bit streaky," head coach Bill Peters said. "When Pelts is 100 percent healthy and can skate, there's a big difference in his game. When he's very fluid and active with the puck and he's carrying the puck and has it a lot, those are the nights he's injury-free and scores and feels real good about himself."
Pelletier prefers consistency over bingeing.
"Ten games ago, I thought I was steady," he said. "Then I had a drought for eight, nine games, then came back with a three-goal game. I want to be steady, though, and I thought I was doing that until this last stretch."
No pouting for Klinkhammer
Winger Rob Klinkhammer started strong this season before tailing off. That got him a few games in street clothes.
"When you're a healthy scratch, you can do one of two things — you can pout, thinking you're getting a raw deal, or you make sure it never happens again," coach Bill Peters said about Klinkhammer.
Klinkhammer chose the latter option.
"His response has been very good," Peters said. "He wants to make sure he establishes himself as a full-time American League player and tries to open some opportunities in the National League."
Klinkhammer led Rockford last week with six points.
"I sort of got some bounces, and the pucks started going in," he said.
Big crowds see it all
Rockford had two sellouts last week. The first crowd was extremely disappointed (5,812 on Monday, a 6-3 loss to Iowa) and one was extremely entertained (5,838 on Saturday, a 6-4 win over Chicago).
Page 2 of 2 - "The crowd of almost 6,000 (on Saturday) sounded like 20,000," forward Pascal Pelletier said after his hat trick that made him the only IceHog in the AHL era to have two in one season.

Seven Terrible First Pitches by Otherwise Coordinated Pop Stars
Ahhh, the ceremonial first pitch of a baseball game. When it's done right, nobody in the stands pays you any attention. When you screw it up, you're on YouTube forever. Often celebrities are chosen to uphold this grand tradition, and often -- most recently Carly Rae Jepsen -- they fail spectacularly.
To the musicians out there who can actually throw a baseball, we tip our cap to you. To those who can't -- well, we compiled this list of your worst ceremonial first pitches ever. Enjoy.
See also: Which Arizona Diamondbacks Star Would Make the Best Metal Band?
7. Lil Jon The rapper, or hip-hop impresario, or . . . something clearly wanted to avoid embarrassment by just getting it to home plate. Instead, Lil Jon threw a moon shot way too high and way too outside.
6. Nikki Sixx It might surprise you that the man behind Mötley Crüe's odes to manliness throws like the man behind layers and layers of elaborate stage makeup.
5. Tiffany Hwang Unfortunately for this Korean pop star, her intense pre-pitch stretches seemed to do more harm than good.
4. Justin Bieber That delivery should make you cringe. And why is he checking to see if there is a runner on second?
3. Mariah Carey There is no reason for her to be wearing six-inch heels. Then again, there isn't much reason for her to be throwing this first pitch, either.
2.Carly Rae Jepson No baseball or softball team will be calling her anytime soon.
1. Jessica Jung Girls Generation should never be allowed to touch a baseball again. On the bright side, she still has a better delivery than Justin Bieber. (And the mascots seem prepared for this eventuality.)
Look: We understand that throwing out a first pitch can be difficult and a lot of pressure to handle. So let's end on an ode to the "ceremonial first pitch thrower-outer."

|Reviews for East To Chicago
| Ernest Bloom chapter 1 . 6/3/2008
I really like your work. The only hint I think I can offer is to watch out for blood-sucking leech words that can drain life out. E.g., I'll put them in caps, and maybe you'll see what I mean:
i watch THE cars slide down into THIS concrete tube
SOME lady IS applying cover girl coral red lipstick
SOME guy IS yelling loudly INTO A cellphone
i'm passing them ALL IN THIS big metal snake
THAT covers the land in crisscrossed metal strips
WE'LL TAKE THE L train to union station
we'll flee INTO THE waiting arms OF YOUR sister
and everything will be perfectly
Substitute it all (your version; this just my example) for something tighter, like:
Cars pulse through concrete veins
A woman's lips painted bloody coral
Red face screaming at a cell phone
As I'm pumped through a metal snake
Netting a continent in a metallic web
Hook the L train to Union Station
Spill out into your sister's arms
Gravity anchors her orbit
Firmly around whatever
Something tighter like that; you do it.
Be careful about stacking up adjectives, too. E.g., is it helpful to say both coral and red?

Talk:Orthogonality (programming)
|WikiProject Computing
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
|WikiProject Computer science
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
Disadvantages Section[edit]
The current "Disadvantages" section consists almost solely of remarks about the C language that are either incorrect or inapplicable.
All statements (including assignment, if and while) return some value, and can be used in expressions.
This is not true. In C only expressions have values. 'if' and 'while', for example, have no value, not even of type void. One could also consider the goto statement, which not only doesn't return a value, it also can't really be said to 'return' at all, since control flow is non-sequential there.
Logic and arithmetic expressions can be intermixed.
While true, this is a direct counter-point to what this section *should* be arguing. In C at least prior to C99, there was no separate boolean type - logical expressions *were* arithmetic expressions. This is an example of a problem caused by too *little* orthogonality, not too much.
This can cause side effects and cryptic code.
This statement is false. The presence of an assignment operator is what causes side effects in C. Also, side effects are not a disadvantage of C, they are a fundamental mechanism of the imperative paradigm that C exhibits. Based on word usage in the cited document, perhaps the original author meant "side effects" in some sense other than the widely-used computer science definition Side_effect_(computer_science), but without the context of the rest of the article, the use of "side effects" in a computer science article is misleading. And a reading of the cited source reveals that its author Eric_S_Raymond is arguing the exact opposite of this claim - that a *lack* of orthogonality causes "side effects". Also, since the first bullet point is wrong and the second is a disadvantage of a lack of orthogonality, there would no longer be any argument in this section to support the claim (opinion, really) that orthogonality causes 'cryptic code'.
Since languages need large number of components, too much orthogonality can cause problems. From a language designer's point of view, the most difficult task (and an important one) is to strike a balance.
The first statement takes the form "Since X, then Y", but X does not imply Y. Supporting this claim would require some kind of reference, or at minimum an example of a way in which a lot of language components (I think "aspect" or "feature" probably better encapsulates this idea) makes orthogonality undesirable. This statement is not supported by the (admittedly uncitable) common knowledge of the software development field, nor by the one citation on this article.
My recommended fix is to just delete the entire "Disadvantages" section. I will visit back at this page sometime on Friday September 21, and if nobody has responded to this talk, I will delete the section.

Plagiarizing Concepts of Programming Languages[edit]
The first sentence of this article is:
In computer programming, orthogonality in a programming language means that a relatively small set of primitive constructs can be combined in a relatively small number of ways to build the control and data structures of the language.
In Concepts of Programming Languages (10th edition) by Robert Sebesta, on page 8 (section 18.104.22.168) orthogonality is described as:
Orthogonality in a programming language means that a relatively small set of primitive constructs can be combined in a relatively small number of ways to build the control and data structures of the language.
I doubt Sebesta copied Wikipedia. This would be a good thing to rewrite and add a citation.18.104.22.168 (talk) 00:40, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Exceptions in C[edit]
The following list item is in the list of exceptions in C:
- A member of a structure can be any data type (except void), or the structure of the same type.
Shouldn't the parentheses around "except void" also encompass "or the structure of the same type"? It was my understanding that a struct cannot have a member that is of the same type as the struct itself. . . which is why we use pointers for linked lists, no?

|Closeup of Psilotum nudum
|Scientific classification
J.W. Griff. & Henfr.
Psilotaceae is a family of fern-like plants (in order Psilotales) consisting of two genera, Psilotum and Tmesipteris. The two genera are very different and in the past Tmesipteris has been placed in its own family, Tmesipteridaceae,[1] but most classifications continue to place it in Psilotaceae. The relationships of Psilotaceae have been unclear, in part because the plants lack roots or true leaves, but recent molecular systematic studies suggest a relationship to the fern family Ophioglossaceae.[2]
The first genus, Psilotum, consists of small shrubby plants of the dry tropics commonly known as "Whisk ferns". The other genus, Tmesipteris, is an epiphyte found in Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia. There has long been controversy about the relationships of the Psilotaceae, with some claiming that they are ferns (Pteridophyta), and others maintaining that they are descendants of the first vascular plants (the Psilophyta of the Devonian period). Recent evidence from DNA demonstrates a much closer relationship to the ferns, and that they are closely related to the Ophioglossales, in particular.
All Psilotaceae share a few characteristics. They are vascular plants and they lack leaves, having instead small outgrowths called enations. The enations are not considered true leaves because there is only a vascular bundle just underneath them, but not inside, as in leaves. Psilotales also do not have true roots. They are anchored by rhizoids. Absorption is aided by symbiotic fungi called mycorrhizae.
Three sporangia are united into a synangium, which is considered to be a very reduced series of branches. There is a thick tapetum to nourish the developing spores, as is typical of eusporangiate plants. The gametophyte looks like a small piece of subterranean stem, but produces antheridia and archegonia.

According to Wisconsin State Fair Park officials, more than 387,000 cream puffs were consumed at this year's Wisconsin State Fair filling fairgoers with more than 135 million calories. Though the more than 1 million visitors took a break from calorie counting and waistline watching for 11 days, the gates of State Fair Park have closed but some pants zippers have not.
There are three easy steps, however, one can do to quickly get back on track with healthy living. Jeffrey Winzenried, owner of Monkey Bar Gym in Milwaukee, is a Certified Natural Trainer (CNT) and helps clients reach their fitness goals through natural strength and conditioning training and guidance with plant-based nutrition.
"It's OK to take a break from our routines to celebrate something as anticipated as State Fair," said Winzenried, "but it's important to get back on track swiftly before habits are formed."
Winzenried trains clients at Monkey Bar Gymnasium located at 770 N Milwaukee St. He and his staff run group exercise classes, including boot camp, body power and yoga. Together, with a focus on short interval workouts, these classes help tone and strengthen the body and keep it healthy.
"These three tips act as a good starting point to kick-start a healthy diet," said Winzenried. "Starting with manageable goals can help lead to better overall health."
This simple advice can help get you on track to a healthier lifestyle and rid any toxins from some of those State Fair favorites.
Three Tips to Healthy Living:
1."Start today not tomorrow." – Don't put off your next workout; get moving right away. For example, put it on your schedule – just as you would any other obligation – show up and do the best you can.
2.Incorporate positive, healthy food rituals with every meal – Live by your own personal food policies. For example, every time you go to the grocery store, pick a new fruit or veggie to try.
3.Get out of your comfort zone and try yoga – Yoga is more than stretching. Even if you are not flexible, yoga acts in way to help restore your body through active poses, engagement and proper breathing.
Monkey Bar Gymnasium specializes in helping men & women, individuals & groups, and athletes & non-athletes find solutions with weight loss, gaining muscle, cardiovascular endurance, and gaining flexibility. Our methodology includes using body weight training, functional fitness, Eischens Yoga for healing the body, boot camps, and tools such as the Jungle Gym XT, Pullup Revolution Pro, Power Wheel, Bands, Medicine Balls, Kettle Bells, and much more!

Work details
Three Seconds by Anders Roslund (Author) (2009)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Não vou comparar este livro à trilogia Millennium, que considerei única. Mas posso assinalar que gera uma ansiedade muito forte e que cria um objectivo de querer finalizar o livro o mais rápido que for possível. Apresenta um retrato frio e cruel do controle das novas máfias de leste e é um bom livro.
Three Seconds is a Swedish crime thriller where an ex-con, Piet Hoffman, has been working deep undercover for the Swedish police infiltrating the Polish Mafia operating in Sweden. He is involved in the drug dealing business and gets his break when he is being told to take over the drug distribution in the Swedish jail system. His handler proposes that they go along with this plan, but things get complicated when a Danish infiltrator is killed during a drug delivery, and the murder is being swept under the rug to go through with the plan. High ranking members of the Swedish police go along with this deal only to turn on him quickly.
This novel was disappointing in many ways. First, the concept of distributing drugs inside of a prison seems hardly worth the effort. The logistics of smuggling in the drugs and selling to people who don't have currency on hand just doesn't make a whole lot of sense and not worth the risk. Second, the book is very slow in spots. There's too much wasted space, and it seems as if the authors are trying to prolong the story to hit a certain word count. Third, the way the police turn on Hoffman so quickly is just silly. On the threat that he might speak to the investigator about the murder, they sentence him to death at the snap of the finger. It wasn't believable and it felt rushed. Overall, I would advise skipping this one.

This book is by far from being short in fact it is close to 500 pages of intense reading. The plot is multi-faceted and it takes its merry time to spring into action but once started it crakes up tension and our engagement with the novel. Some entering midstream into this series may feel at a lost since the bleakly eccentric protagonist has a very heart wrenching past which it essential to know.
The novel deals with criminals in contemporary Sweden, the Police and Probation Officials who monitor these offenders, and the government who wants to use them as undercover operatives. The story unfolds primarily in the streets and apartments of Stockholm and in Aspsas prison, a fictional jail not too far from the city. We also have side trips to both Denmark and Poland.
The narrative shifts points of view from Ewert Grens, a Stockholm detective who runs covert operatives to mules who smuggle drugs from Poland to Piet Hoffman, the most valuable undercover operative working as a front man for security firm with Mafia ties and to Erik Wilson, his handler.
When a drug buy goes wrong and a Danish police is exposed and killed while on a sting Hoffman needs to extricates himself from the complicity in the murder and negotiate a deal with bureaucrats. But Grens determined effort to solve the case threatens to expose not only Hoffman but also officials from various agencies involved with the operation. Intriguing enough n'est-ce pas?….well, also a bit complicated…
With the many things going on it takes a demanding but well worth effort to absorb the refined narrative which is quite heavy-handed with information and to get used to the complex style. This book is gritty, violent and unnerving and once the action takes place it becomes exciting and eventually turns into a real page-turner.
An outstanding Swedish thriller. The best book I have read in 2014, I was unable to put it down. Great characters, especially Hoffman, the under-cover cop & Grens, the persistent detective. Hope I can find more books by Roslund & Hellstrom.
This novel was very awesome. The authors really took their time with the development of the very intricate plot and incredibly interesting characters.
Det som setter Roslund & Hellström i en klasse for seg, er en høy grad av troverdighet. Der de fleste krimforfattere laller rundt med tåpelige massemordere i skandinaviske småbyer, har dette svenske forfatterparet føttene solid plantet i moderne kriminalrealisme. De har lært leksene. De vet hva de skriver om. De kjenner de tunge gutta som sitter på de lange dommene, og politifolkene som fikk dem dit. De vet hvordan den polske amfetaminen produseres, og hvordan den bringes inn, både over landegrensene og inn i de lukkede anstaltene.
De vet at politiet selvsagt lyver, når de benekter bruk av faste informanter. Slik at de også kan benekte at de tidvis må la dem falle. Ofre dem.
«Tre sekunder» er bok nummer fem i serien om Ewert Grens og hans folk i Stockholmspolitiet. Definitivt førstedivisjon! Helt øverst på tabellen.
"Three Seconds" spent the better part of a year on Swedish best-seller lists. Its authors won a prize — the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers' Award for Swedish Crime Novel of the Year — that has also been awarded to Larsson and Henning Mankell. They know how to deliver the kind of stilted, world-weary verbosity that somehow quickens the pulses of this genre's readers. Even better, they are on a first-name basis with the Seven Dwarfs of Scandinavian Noir: Guilty, Moody, Broody, Mopey, Kinky, Dreary and Anything-but-Bashful.
Nils Schwartz: Anders Roslunds och Börge Hellströms nya roman Tre sekunder är deras bästa och ställer de flesta internationella konkurrenter i skuggan.
As intriguing as it sounds, Roslund and Hellström dole out the drama in scenes that suffer from too much information, erratic intercutting and a heavy-handed style that not even an able translator like Kari Dickson can smooth over. Also problematic is the unsympathetic portrait of a character appearing in the authors' four previous novels, Det. Ewert Grens. Grens is gruff to the point of hostility and haunted by guilt about his wife Anni, a fellow police officer injured on the job who recently died after 29 years in a nursing home. Grens has been in a funk over Anni for years, reduced to sleeping on the floor in his office and grieving in a manner that would make any astute supervisor send him to a departmental shrink. Even when Grens is roused to action by the murder of the undercover Danish cop, his bitterness combined with the minute details of the investigation makes reading the novel's first part a dreary affair.

There is no excuse for the President of the United States and his attorney general to contribute to racial tensions in America, but that is exactly what they have done, whether intentionally (for political gain) or because they just can't help themselves.
When a reporter asked Obama about the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Gates, an African-American friend of Obama's, Obama said the Cambridge policemen who arrested Gates had acted "stupidly," despite admitting he wasn't aware of all the facts.
Concerning Martin, even the Washington Post reported that Obama decided to "assertively insert himself into" the "controversy" when he said: "When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids. ... If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
I ask you: Was that a proper statement from a President of all the American people, let alone one professedly committed to uniting the races? How can the chief executive of the United States possibly justify such a racially charged comment, which could have poisoned the jury pool, especially when, as was the case with the Gates incident, he couldn't have known all the facts?
In the wake of the jury's acquittal of Zimmerman, Obama weighed in again, this time exploiting the entire event, just as he had the Sandy Hook shootings, to promote gun control. "That's the way to honor Trayvon Martin," he said, unmistakably signaling that he is still heavily invested in the case as a matter of race.
Then there was the additionally disturbing revelation by the Daily Caller -- and other outlets -- that the Community Relations Service, a division of the Justice Department, "was deployed to Sanford, Florida (in 2012) to provide security for anti-George Zimmerman protests, including a rally headlined by activist Al Sharpton."
So now we have not just our political leaders making overtly divisive statements on race but the administration spending taxpayer money for the purpose of agitation. Just when you think things can't get much worse.
If there is any authenticity in Obama's claims to seek racial harmony in America, now is the time for him to make a 180-degree turn and use his bully pulpit to promote racial harmony. I am under no illusions that he will do so, but I can nevertheless pray that he will.

A dog requires a balanced
just as humans do. Fruits and

Most people do not think of dogs eating fruits, but there are several that are safe fruits for dogs to eat. There are also some are bad fruits for a dog to eat. So what fruits are good for dogs? How much fruit can a dog have? These questions and others about fruits for dogs have been answered by the Experts below.
What fruits are good for dogs?
There are several fruits that can be good snacks for dogs. Fruits that are low in oxalates are the preferred fruits, as those fruits that are high in oxalates can cause issues that are urinary in nature to small dogs. These fruits are good for dogs and can be given daily as long as it is in moderate amounts; bananas, honeydew, watermelon, papaya, cantaloupe, bing cherries, nectarine, canned cranberries, casaba, mango, and apples that have been peeled and cored.
Even when feeding safe fruits for dogs is there a limit as to how much a dog can have?
Yes even when an owner is
safe fruits for dog to their dog, they have to realize that these should only be given in moderation. If a dog receives too many of these fruits, even though they are safe fruits for dogs, the dog can develop diarrhea and generalized digestive tract upset. There is so thing as too much of a good thing. Theses fruits can be given daily just in moderate amounts to avoid any stomach upset.
What are bad fruits for dogs?
There are several fruit that are considered to be bad fruits for dogs. In most cases the seed is the culprit, due to the fact that most of the seeds of these fruit contain the poison cyanide. This poison is
to both dogs and humans. If dogs do get a hold of a fruit that has not been pitted, it will take a lot of chewing of the pit to release the amount of cyanide to be toxic enough to harm the dog. These fruits are plums, apricots, prunes, peaches, cherries that are wild, balsam pears, and apples that have not been peeled and cored.
Are fruits for dogs okay if the dog has calcium oxalate stones?
If a dog has been diagnosed with calcium oxalate stones, then fruit should be left out of the dog's diet. Even though there are safe fruits for dogs, the fruits can cause the urine to be more acidic. In a dog that have calcium oxalate stones, it is best that the dog's urine stay on the alkaline side to help keep from forming these crystals and stones.
There are safe fruits for dogs to eat and there are bad fruits for dogs to eat. Most bad fruits are due to the fruit having a pit or a seed that contains cyanide, which if chewed in quantity can poison the dog. A few of the safe fruits for dogs are watermelon, papaya, and mango. Fruits for dogs should be given in moderation, daily is ok as long as it is not in mass quantities. Dogs that have calcium oxalate stones should not have fruit added to their diet, due to the fruit increasing the acidity of their urine. Any questions about fruits for dogs can be asked of the Experts.

Join us for an awesome week of Family Camp, June 30 - July 3! Last year we were nearly full, so register early! Each morning families will gather in the chapel for singing, skits, and sharing of God's Word. Following chapel time, all the children will be divided according to age groups and will spend the morning with our amazing counselors and experience a time of learning more about Jesus and experience some really fun activities! While the kids are hanging out with our staff, the adults will be hearing from our wonderful guest speakers, Jason and Julie Van Hove.
Jason and Julie (and their 3 children, Zoe, Elijah, and Caia) live in Story City, IA. They currently serve at Harvest Vineyard Church in Ames. Julie has a background in youth and women's ministries and is on the children's ministry team at their church. Jason's opinion of her passions include (but are not limited to) being a mom, women finding freedom in Christ, healthy families and 'bringing the fun'. Jason's background includes youth, family, and camping ministries and is a pastor at HVC. Julie's view of his passions include (but are not limited to) serving and loving his family well, equipping people to minister to others, prayer, and eating good food. Jason and Julie served at Riverside for 9 years and met in junior high at family camp, so they know firsthand how life-changing this week can be!
Many activities will be offered during Free Time each afternoon. Families will enjoy swimming, horseback riding, Rec Hall fun—carpetball, foosball, Camp Store, Art Fun, and Family Bonding time! If the water level is appropriate, families may canoe the river from Riverside to Story City. Evenings will be filled with many great family activities, including campfires and the Mime. Families will also experience Riverside's FAMOUS July 4th parade (which will actually take place on the 2nd) and a barbeque. We hope to see you there!
Note that there are two different pricing options for lodging. All cabins have air conditioning. Families may choose to share a cabin, but must be noted on registration form. The cost of the housing would then be split between the two families. The program fee is per family, so each family would still have to pay for the program fee. Feel free to call the office at 515-733-5271, if you have any questions at all.
Adults (13 and over): $65
Youth (5-12): $45
Children (4 and under): Free
Per Family program fee: $200

Florence is the capital city of the Tuscany and the birthplace of Renaissance. It is built around river Arno and known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The historic center of Florence attracts millions of tourists every year and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982.
The city is served by two large nearby airports, Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei) and Florence Airport (Amerigo Vespucci). The main motorway, A1, connects Florence with Bologna and Milano in the North and Rome and Naples in the South.
San Lorenzo and the Mercato Centrale -- This small wedge of streets between the train station and the Duomo, centered on the Medici's old church of San Lorenzo and its Michelangelo-designed tombs, is market territory. The vast indoor food market is here, and most of the streets are filled daily with hundreds of stalls hawking leather jackets and other wares. It's a colorful neighborhood, if not the quietest.

I'm interested in what the HA community thinks about this new Gizmodo article, or blog, about Michael Fremer, an audio reviewer from Stereophile, which clearly goes completely against the grain around here. For instance:
"We play my solid 256kbps VBR MP3 of "Heroes" off my iPod; it sounds like shit. Free of pops and crackles, yes, but completely lifeless, flat in every way. This is the detail that matters: Audiophiles are basically synesthesiacs. They "see" music in three-dimensional visual space. You close your eyes in Fremer's chair, and you can perceive a detailed 3D matrix of sound, with each element occupying its own special space in the air. It's crazy and I've never experienced anything like it." ~ Why we need audiophiles

Do you think Fremer really gets into the music with his "$350,000 system", or does he dwell on what can be tweaked or repositioned or even replaced/upgraded. You can't really enjoy the music if you are constantly critiqing the equipment it is playing on. It's a hard habit to break.

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Fridge Magnets!
For this week's Photo Shoot, it's time to use your camera to reveal — your refrigerator!
Your Monday Photo Shoot: Show off your refrigerator magnets. Because you know you have 'em.
Your turn: Get that fridge in the camera frame and make those magnets famous. Post the picture up on your blog or Web site and then come back here and leave a link!
Like a few folks who shared with John already I have quite a few refrigerator magnets. But these are the ones that have a purpose.
For a $5 minimum donation made here this magnet pin combo can be yours too.
Special note to those who have already made generous donations, your car magnet and pin combo is on the way soon, I promise. When they arrive, I hope that you will display your support proudly.
