We just returned home from a fabulous tour of France and must say that of the four places we stayed- Le Moussel was hands down our favorite! Every detail was perfect and spoke "welcome" -even down to the crocheted coverlet for the cream pitcher. The location, gardens, bed, linens, shower, windows, wine, dinner, breakfast- all of it delightful. The best part however, were our hosts Neil & Sue- we feel like we have new friends! It is an easy hour drive to Giverny and a great value. Ron & Jan V, Baltimore, MD

The video above with Richard Butler is useless, as is the information on the Lytro web site. What is a 'Megaray?' How big is the micro-lens array compared to the sensor? Is the micro-lens array something like a fly's eye? If there is only one sensor in the camera I just can't fathom how this thing works. With no other information available than what I read here, or on the Lytro web site, It appears that the only way to understand what it does is to have an in-person demonstration. I certainly won't be spending even $5 let alone $59.48 on something with an indescribable product.
There was a lot of excitement when the New York Times wrote about a small company promising to make focus errors a thing of the past. A camera that allowed you to focus after you take the picture. Its subject was Lytro, a startup promising to make its technology available in a consumer product on the market within a year. And, sure enough, here is the Lytro Light Field Camera.
Over the intervening months, we've talked to Lytro's Founder and CEO, Ren Ng, and attended a photo walk with the company's 'Light Field Camera' but it's only now, with the product about to hit stores, that we've had a chance to spend enough time shooting with it to really get to grips with what it can do.
Just to recap, the Light Field Camera (LFC) doesn't capture 'pictures' in the way your current camera does - it's capturing information about where the light is travelling. This information can then be turned into a picture or, more to the point, a series of pictures with different focus points.
It works by placing a microlens array in front of the sensor, which scatters the incoming light, based on the angle from which it approached. This information can be then used to calculate where the light would have ended up, had the camera been focused differently. What precisely that means for its output will become clear, but it's worth knowing that the additional information gained about the source of the light comes at the expense of image resolution.
As a result, it's best to step away from assumptions you might have based on traditional photography. Because the LFC is capturing different information about the light that hits it, it fares pretty poorly if you try to judge directly against the camera you already have. This isn't a conventional camera that somehow lets you set the focus after shooting. That can be done but to do so leaves you with a 1.2MP point-and-shoot camera. From our use, we'd say the camera is best understood by learning how its two shooting modes work.
The camera's default 'Everyday' mode is the one that attracted all the early publicity. It's a point-and-shoot mode where you don't have to think about focus when you take the photo. You can simply point the camera at your subject and press the shutter - the shot is taken almost instantly. The end result can be refocused from fairly close to the camera, out to infinity.
However, even in this simple mode, you're not magically freed from the other concerns of conventional photography - behind the scenes it's still having to set a shutter speed and ISO, so there are still the same risks of your subject moving too fast and appearing blurred in your images.
Creative mode is a recent addition to the camera that allows a little more control over the process. In this mode you can force the camera to refocus its lens closer than in Everyday mode, such that the zone over which the image can later be refocused is concentrated around your chosen point. This allows you to gain greater quality at the point you've selected but means you restrict the range over which the output can be refocused.
To a degree, these two modes give a hint at the two uses of the LFC - as a camera that allows simple snapping with the ability to correct focus, and a device that allows the creation of sharable objects that can be explored by the end-user. However, as we shall see, the story isn't quite that simple (and nor is getting the most out of the camera).
Hands-on review video
Key specifications:
- 11 'Megaray'* sensor
- 8x 43-340mm equivalent, constant F2 lens (limited to 43-150mm range in Everyday mode)
- 8GB or 16GB internal memory (depending on model)
- 1.46" (33mm) 49,000 dot touch-screen
- Instant power-on, instant focus in Everyday mode
*There is a different relationship between the number of capture sites and the number of output pixels than in conventional cameras, so quoting a megapixel figure isn't relevant.

JAKARTA: After his resounding victory in Indonesia's presidential race, Jakarta governor Joko Widodo now faces the daunting task of taking the world's third-biggest democracy forward as resistance to reform lingers.
The softly-spoken former furniture exporter was declared the next president by election officials last Tuesday, and although his rival, Prabowo Subianto, is contesting the result in court, Joko is widely expected to prevail.
He is the country's first president to come from outside the political and military elite, and millions are eager to see him deliver on promised reform.
The challenges are enormous: Indonesia's public service is dogged by corruption and tangled in a web of bureaucracy. Around half the population of 250 million people are poor, while persistent weaknesses in the economy threaten growth.
"I'm not going to sugar-coat it, it will be a really difficult job," said Indonesian Defence University's Yohanes Sulaiman.
"He will have to cut fuel subsidies and red tape – a lot of people have financially benefited from red tape for a long time."
Joko has pledged to eventually scrap energy subsidies that eat 20% of the state budget. Cutting subsidies is politically sensitive, and has met with fierce resistance from the masses and opportunistic opposition parties.
Prabowo's coalition has more seats in parliament than Joko's, and even though some parties may jump ship in coming weeks, pushing legislation through will be a challenge.
Parliament is one of the most corrupt public institutions, attendance by lawmakers is dismal and just a small fraction of Bills are made into laws each year.
"The parliament is very hostile – if Jokowi wants good government, he would have to imprison half the lawmakers. He could easily be blocked by them," Yohanes said, referring to Joko by his widely used nickname.
Resistance could also come from within Joko's own Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), known to be split down several lines.
Legions of PDI-P members are loyal to Puan Maharani, daughter of former president and party leader Megawati Sukarnoputri and granddaughter of Indonesia's first president, Sukarno. Some have painted Megawati as Joko's puppet master, raising fears among those who remember her 2001-04 presidency as aloof and indecisive as militancy and corruption flourished.
Indonesia's economy had begun to bounce back after a woeful 2013 – when the rupiah dived, inflation soared and the current account hit a record deficit – but fundamental weaknesses were still hampering growth, economists said.
"It's a huge challenge because of two things. First we're too dependent on commodity exports, we need to ramp up our non-commodity export base," said Kenny Soejatman, portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management.
"Second, we're facing competition from other emerging countries. We're facing a weakening global economy and wage pressures. We need to improve our human capital and infrastructure to improve competitiveness."
To make good on some of his economic policies, Joko will have to better engage the labour unions, according to University of Sydney's Michele Ford.
But what tens of millions of poor Indonesians are hoping for is a sturdier social safety net.
Joko has promised to upscale his popular Jakarta health and education card programme to the national level. In the capital, residents received cards that guaranteed free medical treatment and schooling.
Joko was commended for the smooth distribution of the cards, but many complained of bed shortages and long waits in hospitals that were overwhelmed with patients.
Giving all children an education will also require more than cards. Schools around the country are grossly underfunded. Buildings have collapsed and even killed students in recent years, while teachers often refuse to work, complaining of unpaid wages.
"Managing those expectations in the early months will be vital for Joko if he is to bring the country with him," Ford said. — AFP

I found this today and had to post it. Remember, Spider-Man can dodge Thor's lightning but not Stegron's tail.

I for one welcome our new Spiked Dinosaur Tail overlords. 😉
Story behind it was my son's cousin didn't have a Stegron toy so he took a model of a Stegosaurus and used one of his Spider-Man toys to make it look like the epic battle.
I picture George in front of a camera with a HAIL STEGRON sign behind him.
If I had the money to make a HYDRA like organization based on Stegron, I would do so. Only we'd be more effective.
Hail Stegron!
I'm "uncle" to a ton of my friends' kids, going back 13 years.
One day I was at one of my friends' houses; they have two boys. At the time they were 9 & 10. I went to the guest bathroom, which was the kids' shared bathroom, and while in there I noticed a plastic T-Rex on top of a Hulk action figure, biting his head.
I walked into the living room and looked at the two kids. "Who is responsible for what I just saw in the bathroom?" I asked.
The kids went wide-eyed. The parents' faces grew grave. "What has happened?" my friend asked. I looked at him, concerned, before turning back to the kids.
"Someone set up a Hulk figure being eaten by a T-Rex. Who has done this thing?" I asked again.
The oldest raised his hand. "I did it," he admitted. "The T-Rex is so much bigger than the Hulk, so…"
"The T-Rex is not a kaiju, where size also equals power," I replied. Then I looked to the younger kid. "Tell me – what is the Hulk's strength level?"
"HA!" he smiled. "Hulk gets stronger as he gets angrier. He just gets stronger and stronger. He is the strongest one there is and a T-Rex couldn't hurt him!"
I lowered my hand into a nearby candy bowl and threw the lad an Almond Joy with a proud nod.
That was four years ago. To this day the boys call me and ask me "Who would win between…"

This is my work but not home work. I am trying to come up decide how best to represent a data I have using a native data structure(By native i mean I cannot use STL in C++, its a C++ code. Its our design decision not to use STL and have no way to change it or violate it)
Data is as follows:
There is a variable say int to denote ipaddr say e.g. 192.168.10.77(lets say this is stored in a int which is uniquely obtained from the 192.168.10.77 ) which lets call deviceId.
Now for each such deviceId there are other fields multiple services associated to it say service 1, service2, etc... Number of services associated with each device is variable from one deviceId to another.
So a sample of data could look like:
Right now I store it in a inefficient data structure as below.
I have a struct as:
typedef struct
deviceId d;
serviceId s;
And then I use an array of a struct which holds
mystr mylist[64];
so entries of this array look like
mylist[0].d = 192.168.10.77
mylist[0].s = service1
mylist[1].d = 192.168.10.77
mylist[1].s = service2
mylist[2].d = 192.168.10.77
mylist[2].s = service3
mylist[3].d = 192.168.10.77
mylist[3].s = service4
mylist[4].d = 192.168.10.98
mylist[4].s = service1
mylist[5].d = 192.168.10.98
mylist[5].s = service2
... ... and so on ....
Essentially the deviceId value is duplicated as many times as there are services associated to it.
I need some thing more efficient because later I have to group all the services associated with a device.
So to do that I might have to search for deviceId and club the services for it together. I don't know how I am going to search by deviceId as it can have any value.
What is a better way to represent this data using some optimal data structure ?
[ I can see it as linked list but could not come up with the
struct Node{ } for it ]

The Great Includer: Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)
Storey, Peter, The Christian Century
I MET Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela 50 years ago, in his jail cell on Robben Island. I was a newly ordained part-time chaplain at the prison. He was with other defendants in the Rivonia trial, named for the farm in Rivonia, outside Johannesburg, where they had been arrested on July 11, 1963. Mandela had not been with them; he was already serving a five-year sentence for leaving the country illegally and was tried with the Rivonia defendants because documents incriminating him were found at the farm.
The defendants had been flown secretly to Robben Island after being sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime of sabotage. The guards were very edgy about their new prisoners, and determined to show these "terrorists" how tough they were.
Sunday, when I visited, was their one day off from labor, but it was spent in total lockdown. I was not allowed to gather the small group for a service of worship but had to walk up and down the hallway between their cells, trying to make eye contact with each occupant as I passed. All but one member of the group had experienced mission school education, and they were at home with Christian worship. Preaching under these circumstances was tough, but I tried to leave each one with a word of encouragement. Their singing, however, couldn't be bound by iron bars, and the great hymns of the church, well known to them, echoed powerfully through the hallways, their melodies often taken up by prisoners in other cell blocks.
My memories of Nelson Mandela were of a strong, vital person in the prime of his manhood, all strength and contained energy. He had a ready smile and clearly appreciated the dilemma of a young minister trying, under the cold eyes of the guards, to bring a moment of humanity into this desolate place. Only once, on a very cold day, was I able to persuade a guard to let the group out into the prison yard, where we gathered in a sunny spot. That day I changed my text: "If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed," letting them choose how to spell "Son/sun." They enjoyed the joke. The guards did not.
Given these limitations, I have often felt embarrassed by being introduced as "Mandela's prison chaplain." Yet being confined to proclaiming nothing other than the heating, strengthening words of scripture, the prayers of the church and the songs of the faith required putting one's trust entirely in the power of the gospel--nothing else. A number of those in the Rivonia group, including Madiba (Mandela's traditional Xhosa clan name), told me later how much that ministry and the ministry of my successors (my security clearance was abruptly withdrawn after a few months) meant to them. Ahmed Kathrada, one of only three Rivonia defendants still living--and the only Muslim in the group--also shared how, in those early days of horror on Robben Island, that brief moment of humanity helped them all.
It was 20 years later when I next heard from Madiba. Still in prison, he used one of his precious letter-writing privileges (initially one letter every six months and later slightly more often) to congratulate me on being elected to lead the Methodist Church of Southern Africa and to express his appreciation for the care the church had shown to him through its chaplains and to Winnie, his spouse, in her banishment and suffering at the hands of the "system."
It was in that letter that he referred to his first encounter with the Central Methodist Church in Johannesburg in the 1940s, when he was struck by the message outside: "The greatest glory in riving is not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall." That message, he wrote with typical understatement, "tended to steel a person against the host of traumas he was to experience in later years."
After his release our paths crossed often. Probably the most special personal occasions were when I shared a platform with him in 1993 at the centenary of Gandhi's arrival in South Africa and on the first Freedom Day in 1995, when I presented him with a sculpture forged out of melted-down guns collected by Gun Free South Africa. …

COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Columbus Fire Department is urging residents to stay away from ice-covered bodies of water and to be sure to take appropriate safety precautions should anyone get into a dangerous situation around ice.
Among the precautions suggested by the fire department:
- Never leave a child or pet dog unattended around icy bodies of water.
- Always keep your pets on a leash.
- If a pet falls through the ice, do not attempt to rescue the animal. Call 911 for help.
- Slush is a danger sign, indicating that ice is no longer freezing from the bottom and can be weak or deteriorating.
- Ice seldom freezes or thaws at a uniform rate. It can be 1-foot thick in one spot and be only a few inches thick 10 feet away.
To help a victim who has fallen through the ice, remember to "reach, throw and go."
- Reach — from shore with a rope, pole, ladder, tree branch, jumper cables or similar object.
- Throw — something to keep them afloat such as a life preserver or boat seat cushion.
- Go — to find supplies, help or call 911.

Heard : Nina Simone's "Four Women"
When : Wednesday evening
Where : In my car while crossing the Columbia River, surrounded by fog
My appreciation
Heard: Nina Simone's "Four Women"
When: Wednesday evening
Where: In my car while crossing the Columbia River, surrounded by fog
My appreciation for Simone began ten years ago, when a roommate gave me a "best of" compilation for Christmas, explaining that she wanted to give me something I would never buy for myself. It was a pretty great gift on a number of levels, but primarily because it first introduced me to this song. "Four Women" was Simone's way of honoring the life stories of four different generations of black women, all of whom had pretty bleak lives. The final character addressed is "Peaches", who clearly has the most rage and resentment, but also a great deal of grace and strength. Listening to the last line of the song is probably the most direct route to understanding why Simone was such a invaluable artist and an utterly entrancing performer.
Every time I hear this song, it breaks my heart that I wasn't able to see her live. It's at moments like this that I'm especially grateful to the creators of Youtube, because there's all sorts of great footage of her out there--especially the clip below of her performing the song in question:
Now that's something to be thankful for.

No arrests in alleged Springfield solicitationStaff Report | January 28,2013SPRINGFIELD — There will be no arrests in an alleged solicitation of a young girl in Springfield, according to Springfield Police Chief Doug Johnston.
Police interviewed the alleged victim after the incident but the girl could not recall what the man said to her, Johnston said. The police dropped the case based on lack of information.
"The victim didn't know if he was mumbling or directing something at her, nor did she know whether he was on a phone," Johnston said. "He is very slow and has a mental health issue on that aspect of things. To our knowledge
there is no threat community."
According to the initial police report, the 12-year-old girl was walking home from Riverside Middle School on Jan. 14 when she saw a man and thought he asked for a sexual favor. The man walked behind her for one-tenth of a mile before the child crossed River Street and headed home, the police report said.
Police investigated the complaint after an off-duty state trooper and a group of youths recognized the man that approached the girl, according to Springfield Police Sergeant Robert Simmons.MORE IN This Just InLike the rest of you, Ive spent the past week immersed in the local conversation about welcoming...

Despite the ability to play make-believe with the best of them, I was an exceedingly unimaginative child when it came to my own future. I wrote my first short story at age eight and started sharing my work online after building my first (terrible) website at age eleven, but it never occurred to me that something so fun could also be a career. As a result, I found myself graduating law school with absolutely no desire to be a lawyer. I wrote my first book instead.
I've been writing both for love and money ever since. Over the past two decades I've written a lot of different things: innumerable short stories; legal memos and briefs; articles and opinion pieces on books, pop-culture, and the law; and two novels. My work has been featured on IGN, B&N, Screen Rant, IT-Lex, and Common Novel.
When I'm not typing down the words, you can find me obsessing over the latest pop-culture phenomenon, imploring people to create their own websites, and reading every YA book I can get my hands on.
I'm currently working on my fourth novel, a new adult contemporary romance.

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of

that to conquer one's fears,
one must not be afraid to be scared

There once was a real scary clown
Wore neither a smile nor a frown
Just a scowl and a stare
Guaranteed kids he's scare
Without even making a sound
I was scared of all clowns as a kid
When I saw them I went and hid
The red hair and red nose
And the baggy old clothes
And the terrifying things that they did
A pie in the face or a squirt
Slapstick that looked like it hurt
Be they grinning like mad
Or painted quite sad
My eyes I would have to avert
I hope that you don't think me daff
But when I hear a way too loud laugh
I quick look around
To make sure there's no clown
I'm not scared to death, just to half

Sobbin' Robin kept hoppin' around.
His beak in a downward frown.
First time out of the nest
Unsure of his Baby Bird Quest
His meek chirping was his only sound.
Sobbin' Robin was too scared to fly.
So scared that he didn't even try.
He chirped out a loud sigh
That shifted the sky
And a breeze stopped his next chirpy cry.
Unknown to Scared Sobbin' Robin
Was that Mother Nature kept him hoppin'
When the wind caught his wings
He started to sing
And now flies with birds sans any sobbin'.

The tiles upon the floor

We're doomed to the thieving,
their wicked hearts beating
for money, we have no more.
Our windows freely swing,
letting in horrible stink,
we live by pure luck,
but mostly it sucks;
items are stolen in a blink.

Perhaps I am a frightful boor,
But your looks were a visceral lure.
I stopped and I stared.
What if I had dared
To ask your name? But I demurred.
I'd have followed you without a thought
By your face I was utterly caught:
Like a fish in a net
My whole world I'd forget,
And misfortune would then be my lot
People say it is bad to be shy.
Maybe not, as your smile was a lie.
Looking back I can see
You are stronger than me.
I'm glad I could not meet your eye

As a girl she always wanted to be loved
But no one ever showed her what it meant to be loved
She tried to be joyful and make others happy
But nothing ever changed her life was still crappy
One day she met someone that started admiring her
He started to show what love meant to her
It was pleasant at first fun and gifts
Then something happened she felt like jumping off a cliff
He started doing things that didn't seem right
Every time she tried to stop she lost the fight
She thought she caused it she really didn't know
She didn't get why this man would act so low
She felt very guilty hid it in her heart deep
She forgot how to sleep all she did was weep
As her sadness grew the man finally started to see
He decided to leave and she was finally free
She started living her way started to forget the pain
But as she moved forward it was in her heart as stain
While she grew older she started going the wrong ways
Men did whatever in bed while she just lays
They came and went but never wanted her as a wife
Drugs boos and men became the definition of her life
Depressed she knew her life was going down the drain
Behind the doors she cried hard like rain
She envied the happy girls never would she have that luck
This was her life always she would be stuck
Her life turned upside down things started to go well
She met her first love she was finally out of hell
He was there all along she just didn't know
He finally revealed himself when he started to glow
I think you may know him
But may not have seen him
His name is.... God

Here come the Cops
We are here to serve
A whack from a baton
That's all you deserve
Here come the Cops
The cutters of crime
Protectors of people
Not in my time
Here come the Cops
Stealing the cakes
From an upturned truck
Which had dodgy brakes
Here come the Cops
Don't break the blue line
You may get the leftovers
When we take the prime
Here come the Cops
With what can we fine
Did you take them cake crumbs
That we left behind
Here come the Cops
Serious time
Did you steal a custard
Did you do the crime
Here come the Cops
Answer they said
We know that you took it
That piece of brown bread
Here come the Cops
It was you, your the taker
No officer no
But I murdered the baker
Here come the Cops
Never mind that
We want back that doughnut
It was sumptuous and fat
Here come the Cops
We're after you
When we say take one crumb
Don't you dare take two
Officer officer,
What must you think
Such depravity I would not sink
I admit that I killed them
Then burned the house down
Then stole the vehicle and left it in tow
I threw the dog in the river
The kids in the stream
But I never ever pinched no custard cream

So, today was a good day for a ride. Miles, miles, miles. All we need are miles. The temp and humidity are both still bearable (and that will soon change here in FL), so it's time to get the miles in. I wanted to ride about 30 miles, with no real destination in mind, just turn the pedals.
I started with a ride to the mailbox, to get yesterday's mail, planning to just take it with me. But then I realized both my sunglasses and helmet were at the house, so I rode back to get them. When I got off the bike, I heard a strange sound, like a metal spring. I thought I had just caught the kickstand with my shoe, and dismissed the noise. So, I set out again, taking a nice quiet ride thru the country on a terrible road (I will skip that one next time). When I finally got back to some decent pavement, I thought the bike felt terrible, looked down and realized the back wheel was way out of true. I could have stopped to true it, but figured I'd just ride it out.
When I got to the main road in the next town, I saw a single rider followed by a couple on a tandem, and since I love a challenge, I had to catch up. They were stopping for a rest a little before my turn off, so I stopped to chat-the couple is on a tour of Florida and the guy was riding with them back to his house where they were staying overnight. We had a nice chat, and one of them mentioned the wobble I had-asking if I had a broken spoke-of course I don't I said, or do I? So 30 seconds later, we find the broken spoke on the drive side (of course) of the rear wheel.
So, the wheels from the spare bike will get shuffled to the prime bike, the wheels from the prime bike will go to the shop to get trued and tensioned, and I'll rotate thru all 6 wheels at the house to get everything trued up (yeah).
On the other hand-one of the local bike shops is having a spring cleaning sale with huge mark downs on the really expensive bikes, maybe it's a sign.

Despite her unusual first name, Dove Cameron's rise to Hollywood stardom was anything but strange. A native of Seattle, WA, Cameron moved to Los Angeles as young teenager to pursue acting professionally. She soon began landing bit parts on shows like "Shameless" (Showtime 2011- ) and "The Mentalist" (CBS 2008- ), before nabbing the lead as identical twins on the Disney Channel's "Liv and Maddie" (2013- ). The show was an immediate hit when it debuted in September 2013, with the pilot episode being the most watched show on the network in nearly three years, at a time when its lead actress had just reached the legal age to drive a car.

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Trade Higher in November
(ARWR - Get Report). This is a development stage nanotechnology holding company that forms, acquires, and operates subsidiaries commercializing innovative nanotechnologies. The stock has been hit hard by the sellers so far in 2012, with shares down by over 50%.If you take a look at the chart for Arrowhead Research, you'll notice that just yesterday this stock exploded higher right off some previous support levels at $2.05 to $2.17 a share with monster upside volume. That move was driven by some positive drug data that showed a 99% target knockdown in monkeys without toxicity. That spike has now pushed ARWR within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. Market players should now look for long-biased trades in ARWR once it manages to trigger a breakout above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $2.74 to $2.80 a share, and then above $3 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 52,871 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ARWR has a chance for an explosive move higher back towards its next major overhead resistance levels at $3.50 to $4 a share, or possibly even $4.20 to $4.50 a share. Traders can look to buy ARWR off any weakness as long as it's trending above yesterday's low of $2.32 a share with strong upside volume flows. You could also buy off strength once ARWR takes out $2.74 to $3 a share with heavy volume, and then simply use a stop that sits just below its 50-day at $2.53 a share.Arrowhead Research Another under-$10 stock that's setting up to trigger a major breakout trade is Arrowhead Research

There's been ongoing debate about how to stop people from throwing themselves off the Aurora Bridge. Some have even argued for closing the bridge entirely to pedestrians and bicyclists. The state DOT recently came up with a less extreme plan, calling for high fencing along the railing. The Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board approved the proposal this week.
It's an open, and probably unanswerable, question whether the bridge actually leads to more suicides or whether suicidal people would just find other means if bridge access were somehow blocked. But having ridden my bike across the bridge several times recently, I have to ask the opposite question: How many despondent or dispirited people have had their love of life restored by that gorgeous bridge and the fantastic, unduplicated views you can stand and enjoy there, when arriving on your own power, by foot and by bike?

About Us
Divisions & Sections
Patient Services
The General Surgery Residency Training Program at the University of Kentucky is a five year program fully accredited by the RRC.
To broaden their understanding of the role of surgical management in various disease processes, general surgery residents rotate on surgical subspecialty services during the junior years including pediatric surgery, transplantation, cardiothoracic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, urology, plastic surgery, etc. Senior residents rotating on the pediatric surgery and the cardiothoracic services gain a more comprehensive experience in these principal areas of general surgery. Residents rotate not only through the University of Kentucky Hospital, but also through the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, St. Joseph Hospital and St. Claire Regional Medical Center. This provides a broad and extensive surgical experience.
Our Operating Rooms have had continued upgrades and renovations, helping us improve our patient care. Plans for a new bed tower continue to move forward. The surgical services remain busy, providing our residents with excellent opportunities to learn. We are proud of our program and are committed to providing our residents with the best in surgical education.
These and other ongoing changes create an environment that will provide our residents with the opportunity to develop into outstanding surgeons.
One of the strategic goals of the Department of Surgery is to develop "one of the best residency training programs in the United States." This is a lofty goal but one that we believe is attainable.
The Division of General Surgery is committed to educating superior clinical and academic surgeons. To achieve this goal, the general surgery residency program is structured to provide the opportunity for well-qualified and highly motivated individuals to participate in the care of a variety of patient problems and in scholarly activities. The residency program is fully accredited by the Surgery Residency Review Committee and is approved to graduate six chief residents each year. Six PGY-1 residents are accepted into the categorical general surgery program each year, providing a non-pyramidal structure to the program. Residents achieve clinical proficiency through graduated responsibility commensurate with their abilities and levels of training during five years of clinical experience. Graduates of the program consistently perform well on the American Board of Surgery's Qualifying and Certification examinations. The division has embarked on a number of innovative educational programs to deliver an established curriculum (developed by residents and faculty) to the residents. Resident participation in research, either clinical or basic science, is encouraged. An orientation to the clinical skills needed to perform basic preoperative and postoperative surgical care is conducted for incoming interns.
The faculty members within each section have particular interests and expertise, allowing residents to obtain in-depth training.
General surgery residents are encouraged to pursue academic interests and contribute to the surgical literature during their training. The opportunity to perform basic research is available to residents for one or two years after the third year of clinical training and is encouraged for those residents wishing to pursue academic surgical careers. This research experience may be obtained in one of the many funded laboratories at the university or at another facility.
The resident in general surgery is expected to maintain the highest level of quality patient care, professional demeanor, and personal integrity. The resident is expected to be both a student and a teacher: a student of the art and science of surgery and a teacher of fellow residents, colleagues, medical students, and nurses.
For information regarding the goals of the college, please visit the College of Medicine Educational Objectives page.

The other option is to position the flash unit farther away from the axis of the lens so that the reflection of the flash off of the retina, while still present, is directed away from the lens and isn't captured in the final image. Having a flash that sits higher above the camera or using an accessory flash will help.
Maybe your friend's camera has a flash that's farther away from the lens axis or he was using a red-eye reduction feature.
Choosing The Right Disc
Q) I'm a photographer from the old school. Practically everything I know about digital photography, which isn't much, I learned from the pages of this magazine while preparing myself for the transition to digital technology. I'm confused with CDs and DVDs, CD-Rs and CD+Rs, CD-RWs and CD+RWs, DVD-Rs and DVD+Rs, DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs. Please explain this to me and tell me which are the most practical.
José J. Rodriguez
La Verne, California
A) Let's begin at the end of each term and work backward. R stands for recordable, meaning the disc starts out blank and you're able to write or burn data to it. Once the data is written, it can't be erased. Think "writing with a pen." RW stands for rewriteable. Think "writing with a pencil." After you've written your data, you can tell your RW drive to erase a file and replace it with another.
One comment to those of you archiving your images to discs: Just like you wouldn't want to write an important legal document in pencil (a last will and testament, for example), you wouldn't want to archive your images to a RW disc. While the pen and pencil analogy is an oversimplification of the technologies, the advice is still applicable.

Hi everyone
Thanks in advance for your help.
I want to pull the latest 4 posts to the homepage, but I want each one to have a different background image.
Now, I don't want to use custom fields for this as this is going to be a blog for multiple users and I want each image to be different but something I control.
Is there a way in the query to pull out the latest 4 posts but have each one with a different background image?

Innovative Kids books
The Five Senses / One Tree (from the Green Start Book series)
By Leslie Bockol
Where Is My Hat? / The Neat Pig / Spooky Night
(from the Now I'm Reading!: Read it · Write it · Draw it! series)
By Nora Gaydos
Innovative Kids
Distributed in the U.S. by Hachette Book Group USA
3 Center Plaza
Boston, MA 02108
Innovative Kids
has a number of exciting products children will enjoy. I received books from the Green Start set and the Now I'm Reading series for review. As I tell a little about these products, hopefully you will catch a glimpse of what this company has to offer.
Green Start
books are an earth-friendly series designed for children three to six years of age. Made from 98% post-consumer recycled material and printed using soy-based inks, these books are intended to benefit your child and the environment. There are currently four books in the
Green Start
series. This review is based on two of them:
One Tree
The Five Senses
. Each non-fiction book teaches facts about nature in story form. The back of each book contains a two-page parent section that provides eco-friendly tips for living green.
One Tree
follows the life of a single tree through the seasons as well as those who inhabit and depend on it (birds, caterpillars, squirrels, etc.). The parent pages include information about the importance of trees and give specific steps we can take to preserve our forests.
The Five Senses
is a sweet, rhyming story that describes ways in which we use our senses to experience nature. Lots of descriptive words help children notice how they are connected to the world around them. The parent pages discuss how our actions affect nature and what we can do to take care of the earth.
These small yet sturdy books are great for little hands. The stories are simple and engaging; the illustrations are cheerful and sweet. My 4-year-old enjoyed listening, and my 7-year-old could read them herself. We were pleased with the quality of these books and are always happy to find stories that provide information about nature in an easy-to-read format. However, I personally found the parent pages in the back of the books a little extreme in their suggestions.
The product recalls of the past few years have increased my concern about the safety of the items my children use. The claim that these books are "good for your child" certainly caught my attention. I appreciate the effort that has been made to produce a "clean" product. However, I was a little disappointed to find that these books are printed in China. While safe products can definitely be made in China, I would have more confidence if they had been printed here in the United States.
Now I'm Reading! Read it · Write it · Draw it!
series is completely different from the
Green Start
series. These interactive books were designed to improve reading and writing fluency and comprehension. Since reading improves writing and writing improves reading, this really is a well-rounded approach.
Intended for ages four to seven years old,
The Now I'm Reading!
books are available in three levels. Each book begins with the Read It section, which contains a simple story with a humorous plotline and colorful illustrations. This is followed by the Write It section, where children have the opportunity to trace words, fill in the blanks, or write a story (depending on the level). Last is the Draw It section. Here children will have fun as they further develop their fine motor skills by illustrating the story on their own (and using the 20 stickers included with each title).
In Level 1,
Where Is My Hat?
, children will read about a dog in search of his misplaced hat. This level is designed for the earliest of readers and focuses on mixed short-vowel words. The original story is repeated in the Write It section, with selected words ready to be traced. Finally, children will enjoy coloring the original illustrations in outline form in the Draw It section. The enclosed stickers can also be used here.
Level 2,
The Neat Pig
, contains a cheerfully illustrated story about a pig that causes his parents great concern because he is overly tidy. The reading level is a little more advanced than level 1 and includes mixed short- and long-vowel words. The Write It section is also a step up from the previous book and has children writing words instead of simply tracing them. The Draw It section is the same as level 1, with the original illustrations in outline form ready to be colored.
Level 3,
Spooky Night
, is the most advanced. The Read It section contains a short story about a boy whose imagination runs wild after he watches a scary movie. This level combines short- and long-vowel words with complex vowel patterns. In the Write It section, children write the tale in their own words on lined pages that have a small picture from the original story. The Draw It section includes the story text and blank pages; there are no outline illustrations in this level. Here children create their own pictures to accompany the story on each page, and they can also use the stickers if desired.
My children thoroughly enjoyed the
Now I'm Reading!
books. I liked them because they provided an educational activity that the kids found interesting and fun. Level 1 was perfect for my 4-year-old, and levels 2 and 3 were just right for my 7-year-old. In fact, the Level 3 book kept her occupied all afternoon! These books would be handy on vacation or during any time when formal schooling is not "in session." They could also be useful for children who need extra reading and writing practice.
This is just a sample of what
Innovative Kids
has to offer. They have many products available for all ages. Our family was pleased with the
Green Start
set and the
Now I'm Reading! Read it · Write it · Draw it!
series. We look forward to using more products from Innovative Kids.

You may have missed it amid all the tunnel talk. But one of Mike McGinn's biggest campaign priorities was improving Seattle's internet infrastructure.
Hope you don't mind paying this gentleman $100 of your hard-earned money every month.
The city may be one of the nation's high-tech hot spots. (Amazon, Microsoft, et cetera.) But when it comes to providing locals with broadband, we've been embarrassingly outpaced by Tacoma.
In 1997, Seattle's "little brother" to the south established a network that provides cheaper cable TV and high-speed internet options. In short, they've created a public utility to compete with the ugly, private brutes (Qwest, Comcast, et cetera) who currently dominate the market.Lesson: We should be more like them. And, good news, it looks like the Mayor-elect is trying to be.
Last week, McGinn took a trip down I-5 to talk with Tacoma politicians about how Seattle could go about installing its own publicly owned fiber-optic network.
A good start. But there's one, very large difference between the two cities.
According to the News Tribune, when Tacoma started its network the city was flush with cash. Seattle today? Not so much.
Which may be an issue considering it could cost as much as half a billion just to fund the project's first phase. That's money we almost certainly don't have. Or as Tacoma Mayor Bill Baarsma ever-so-delicately put it, "The financing is problematic."

Between 2010 and 2012, Van Dyke kept 111 tons of waste from landfill. Van Dyke became a zero waste-to-landfill plant in late 2012 after the environmental committee there figured out on their own how to deal with giant, 8-foot-long, 350-pound fabric coolant filters that were creating 10 tons of waste a month.The local committee worked with Ford's Powertrain Operations and the Environmental Quality Office to develop a way to properly manage the waste filters by finding separate recyclers for the used filters and the materials they contained post-use. A video showcasing Van Dyke's waste-to-landfill reduction efforts can be found here.

We are trying to get our co-sleeping 2 year old to sleep without nursing. It has been awful for a week now. Last night was 1 hour and 50 mins of hell!! He acts and says he is ready for bed but once we are all in bed with lights out he gets crazy! Plays with pillows, kicks, climbs on us! I have no idea how others get there toddlers to understand that its calm, quiet time... We've tried routines, books, bouncing, rocking, etc. and the only thing that works is nursing. We are going to lose our minds!! Any suggestions at all? HELP!
bumping...we're having the same experience. Any suggestions?
We have had some improvements since I posted the original post last week. Last night was the longest night to get him to sleep since the OP and it was only 40 mins. We had a few 15-20 min nights too! We have just be trying to stay consistant. Bath, book, bed, nurse for a couple minutes, then lights out, sleep. DH and I close our eyes and not play into his actions that get us to react. I hope it continues to improve. We have A LONG way to go but I am happy to report some improvement from the almost 2 hour nights!

I had to write a letter for the students/parents of the classes I am taking over from the creepy guy who got fired. What do you think?
Dear Students and Parents,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as your new Geography teacher. My name is Cindy KXXXXX and I am delighted at the opportunity to work with you this year. I received both my Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction degrees from Texas A&M University. I began my teaching career at The Woodlands High School in 2003 and moved to MXXXXXX High School in 2006 where I taught Pre-AP World Geography. I took a leave of absence during the 2007-08 school year to stay at home with my newborn son but am very excited to be back in the classroom this year. I am an experienced Geography teacher and hope to spread my enthusiasm for the subject to all my students.
On a personal note, I have two beautiful children; Juliet is four and Jack is one. I am an adviser for National Honor Society and am coaching the UIL Social Studies team. My husband also works at MXXXXXX High School as the Pre-AP World History/AP Psychology teacher. We are a family who has a strong passion for learning and education. I believe that young adults possess as much potential as they do energy. I hope that, with a collective effort, their potential will be tapped and their energy will be directed into lives of success and achievement.
I am looking forward to working with each of you this year. Thank you in advance for your support. I may be reached at via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling the school at XXX-XXX-XXXX. My website (www.mXXXXXisdcommunities.org/communities/ckXXXX) is currently being revised and updated. Check it soon for news about your upcoming assignments and activities.
Mrs. Cindy KXXXXX

text: Mr. (Willard F.) Schmehl, you're right about your question No. 3 (Reader Input, Oct. 4). Nobody has the authority to censor religious practice or speech The First Amendment says the following: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" The Establishment Clause prohibits the federal, state or municipal establishment of a religion or other preference for one religion over another, non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion. Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence and the third president of the United States so I tend to trust what he said about "separations of church and state." Those exact words are not in the First Amendment but since he wrote it I think his explanation is pretty good. Roger Perkins, Auburn

Wonderful concept
Beautiful concept <3
the message is perfect.
Lora ..... Chapeau

i love the guns. i'm sorry some people can't look at it and see it's meaning - i think this piece so so spectacular!

So interesting...
I loved it (:
I loved it (:
Well mother FUCK this is amazing.
Being from Connecticut and only a 45 minute drive from Sandy Hook Elementary School, seeing the guns seriously detracts this artwork from being a 10 for me. With that being said, I love the image of the girl looking down or being contemplative with the myriad of colors raining down about her forming her hair! With exception to the guns, well done!
Such awesomeness!
more than great! <3
I love your use of colors
good job
Your work is amazing, good stuff. Love your water color style

The orientation of any image can be uniquely defined by at most three non-zero generalized complex moments.

The deleted it in Apple cause they thought there is a problem with the automatic renewal of the itune match subscription accordint to israeli legislation. My opinion is that they have a mistake in interpretation israeli law, because there are lots of service providers that are renewing services without asking anyone - like internet supplier, cable tv suppliers etc. I just hope someone will change it and enable itune match in israel cause there is a lot of itune that is missing without it....
